The reason why Ye Pei and the others came back late, but another incident happened, I don't know whether to call it a surprise or a blessing in disguise.

In the private room of Fan Lou, Zhao Zhen and Xiao Shinan chatted more and more speculatively, and the previous estrangement was swept away. Both of them have great ambitions, care about the world, and are far-sighted people who want to do great things. The so-called heroes cherish heroes, and the more they talk to each other, the more they hate each other.

Ye Pei looked at the sky and reminded the two: "Sixth brother, Brother Xiao, time flies quickly, we have to go back to the palace." ”

Zhao Zhen said: "Listening to Xiao Shizi's words today is better than the teachings of several emperors. It's a pity that the time is limited and he can't have fun, if he has another chance in the future, he must ask the prince for advice. ”

Xiao Shinan also said: "I had a good conversation with the official family of the Great Song Dynasty, but unfortunately the time was too short to have a good chat." He will make an appointment again in the future, and he will definitely speak freely. ”

Originally, the two had already decided to separate, Di Qing opened a little crack in the door and looked out, but saw a few big men standing in the corridor, blocking the way to death. Dali picked up a little bamboo curtain and looked down, and there were more than a dozen horses sitting on the downstairs of Fan Lou.

Dari said to Xiao Shinan: "Shizi, it's a Western Xia person!" ”

"Li Yuanze?" Xiao Shinan ran to the window and looked out. Zhao Zhen and Ye Pei looked at each other and frowned.

Xiao Shinan came back and said to Zhao Zhen: "The Great Song Dynasty's official family, for some reason outside, Fan Lou was surrounded by the guards of Li Yuanze, the king of Western Xia Ning. ”

Although Zhao Zhen was anxious, he didn't show it on his face, just sat there drinking tea and didn't say a word. Ye Pei said impatiently: "This damn Li Yuanze is here to make trouble again, if you don't return to the palace at this time, I'm afraid that Chen Zhongyi won't be able to withstand it if it's delayed for too long." ”

At this time, Fan Hua, the shopkeeper of Fan Lou, walked in from outside the door, he naturally didn't recognize the official Zhao Zhen, and only thought that Ye Pei was the most distinguished guest, so he said to Ye Pei:

"Lord Le'an, the king of Xixia Ning said that he wanted to charter my restaurant, and now he is driving away the guests downstairs with people, so I can quickly take a few of you to leave while there is chaos, right?"

Ye Pei nodded, "That's fine." ”

Who knew that Ye Pei and the others just wanted to follow Fan Hua out of the private room, some heavy and messy footsteps came from far and near, and someone shouted loudly in the corridor: "Shopkeeper Fan, where have you been?" ”

Xiao Shinan shook his head at Ye Pei, several of them took a step back, and Fan Hua opened the door to welcome him out.

"Oh, don't worry, don't worry, I'm not making room for His Royal Highness King Ning? You see that my restaurant is too big, and there are thousands of merchants coming and going every day, how can it be cleaned all at once? If His Royal Highness King Ning had said earlier, I wouldn't have opened the door in the morning, just waiting to welcome you, and there wouldn't have been so much trouble. ”

A rude voice said, "Are you going to blame my king for informing you late?" Believe it or not, I'm going to tear down your restaurant right now? ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, it's the little one who said the wrong thing."

At this time, the two of them talked and laughed and walked up to hug.

"King Ning doesn't know, that woman is the granddaughter of Ding Wei, the former prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, naturally different from those ordinary prostitutes in the restaurant, if you like it, I will personally send her to the Duting Post House another day."

"Hahaha, she does have some looks, I like it very much. Bo Pinghou is generous, worthy of deep friendship! ”

Li Yuanze was originally happy, but when he looked up, he saw that the shopkeeper Fan was arguing with his guards here, so he asked: "Your Fan Lou is known as the largest restaurant in Bianjing, and I don't think that's it." Go and pick the biggest private room and serve me the best wine! ”

The shopkeeper Fan said: "Your Royal Highness King Ning, please come here, these private rooms are the largest and most luxurious in our Fan Building. wine

The dishes are all prepared according to your orders. ”

Originally, the shopkeeper Fan led Li Yuanze and others to the private room in the west, who thought that this Li Yuanze was a Ning species, and walked eastward, came to the door of the private room where Zhao Zhen and a few people were sitting and said: "I think this private room is good, the doors and windows are luxurious, and the orientation is good, let's go here." ”

"The guest in this house will leave immediately, and when he is gone, I will clean up and entertain you." Shopkeeper Fan hurriedly said.

"This king can sit wherever he wants! Go and get the people inside! ”

At this time, Ye Pei and Zhao Zhen heard a voice that was so familiar that it couldn't be more familiar at the same time, "His Royal Highness King Ning has a noble status, why should he be as knowledgeable as this profiteer?" In our Great Song Dynasty, the people who come to eat in this Fan Lou may also be some royal nobles, and the partition wall has ears, so let's keep a low profile. ”

"Hmph, what's the big deal with a small restaurant?"

"Of course King Ning is different, if you stomp your foot in the Western Xia Kingdom, the land in the west will tremble."

Li Yuanze smiled arrogantly, "It's still Boping Hou who has insight!" ”

The person who was talking to Li Yuanze, Ye Pei knew who it was without looking at it, and she whispered to Zhao Zhen: "It's Zhao Yunxi?!" Zhao Zhen narrowed his eyes and nodded.

Li Yuanze waved his hand, and the two guards went to push the wooden door of the private room. Who did they know that Xiao Shinan had already walked to the door, and the moment the door was pushed open, Xiao Shinan sent out two palms at the same time to shake the two people out.

Ye Pei pulled Zhao Zhen and hurriedly ran into another private room, and Di Qing also followed, and put down the bamboo curtain easily.

These two guards can also be regarded as masters of Western Xia, but they were knocked out so easily that everyone present was so frightened that they took two steps back.

"Damn, who's who?!" Li Yuanze just wanted to have a seizure, but saw Xiao Shinan standing in front of him with angry eyes. "Xiao Shizi?!" Li Yuanze immediately became a little short of breath.

Several Western Xia guards had already pulled their waist knives out of their scabbards, but Li Yuanze did not give an order, and none of them dared to step forward.

Xiao Shinan said: "Who should I be?" It turned out to be the brother-in-law of Princess Xingping of my family. ”

It turned out that at this time, Western Xia had just founded the country, and the world was unstable, so he declared himself a vassal to the Liao State and attached himself to the Liao State. Liao Xingzong succeeded to the throne, and in order to envelop the Western Xia forces, Xiao Yunjin married Liao Xingzong's sister Princess Xingping to Li Yuanhao, the eldest son of the Western Xia king Li Deming.

Therefore, as soon as Xiao Shinan said it, he even mentioned the fact that Western Xia was a vassal state of the Great Liao, which made Li Yuanze's face flush.

"How is Xiao Shizi here?" Li Yuanze asked.

"I made an appointment with my friends to drink here, but I didn't want to be disturbed by you." Xiao Shinan said with a calm face.

"When I was in Jin-Mingchi, Xiao Shizi was not satisfied with the first place, and today he still has to compare and match?" Li Yuanze asked with a glare.

"I haven't used force for a long time, and my hands are itchy!" He stared at Li Yuanze.

Xiao Shinan is good at tiger fighting skills in traditional Khitan martial arts, and as soon as he pulls out the stance, he is like the momentum before the tiger attacks.

Li Yuanze also did not show weakness, pulling a wrestling posture that the Xixia people are good at, and wanted to strike first. He just wanted to hug Xiao Shinan's shoulders with both hands, but the other party grabbed his hands and twisted them back, and almost fell into a big corner.

At this critical juncture, Li Yuanze stood up behind him and came alone. "Xiao Shizi's subordinates are merciful!" As he spoke, the person who came supported Li Yuanze with one hand and grabbed one of Xiao Shinan's arms with the other, and the two sides secretly competed.

No one dared to make a sound around, and Fan Lou suddenly became extremely quiet, and even the "ticking" sound of the timer leaking pot became extremely obvious. Several guards held the hilts of their swords and looked at the three of them with wide eyes, neither of them stepping forward nor retreating.

If you want to say why everyone is holding their breath and concentrating, it turns out that Xiao Shinan has a peculiar way of competing with this person, and everyone present is attracted by an aura like a magnet and can't move.

At this moment, only a loud sound of "Gaba" was heard, and the wooden floor under the feet of Xiao Shinan and the person who came shattered at the same time, which frightened Li Yuanze and Zhao Yunxi into gasp.

The person who came let go of Xiao Shinan's hand, and Xiao Shinan also let go of the hand that grabbed Li Yuanze, and they were stunned for a moment.

Xiao Shinan was still generous, and took the lead in showing respect, clasping his fists and saluting and saying with a smile: "The old general Yeli is not old, and the majesty is still there!" ”

"Xiao Shizi, don't come unharmed!"

Who is this person? This man is burly and vicious-looking, but he is old and dignified, and is considered to be the wild red dragon of the minister of the humerus in Western Xia.

The Yeli clan is a big clan of the party, and this Yeli red dragon has experienced a hundred battles against Liao and Song. He himself is Li Yuanze's master, and he married his daughter to Li Yuanze, and he is also Li Yuanze's father-in-law.

But now that Li Yuanhao, the eldest son of the King of Western Xia, has been made the crown prince and has suppressed the different parties, Li Yuanze and Yeli have a hard time.

Li Yuanhao is both civil and military, but he is extremely brutal. In order to marry Princess Xingping of the Liao Kingdom, he poisoned his original wife Wei Mu's dove wine, who was already pregnant with Liujia.

Yeli Honglong saw that Li Yuanhao would sooner or later have a black hand on his half-brother. In order to stop Li Yuanhao's persecution of Li Yuanze, Yeli Honglong took him to the Song Kingdom to find a way out.

It's just that this Li Yuanze is a Liu Adou who can't be helped, brainless and self-righteous.

offended Xiao Shinan when Jin Mingchi opened the pool, and now he colluded with a Zhao Yunxi, thinking that he would also gain some power in the Song Kingdom, but in fact, this Zhao Yunxi has long been unable to protect himself, and the two of them are just deceiving each other.

Although Yeli Honglong despised many of the things Li Yuanze had done, he couldn't watch him fall.

The Great Song Dynasty, the Liao State and the Western Xia Kingdom bordered each other, and friction continued. Xiao Shinan and Yeli Red Dragon fought several times, but they never separated from each other.

Both of them are masters of martial arts, and they are both very strategic in leading troops to fight all year round, and they admire each other. It's a pity that they belong to two countries and never have the opportunity to intersect, which has become a regret for each other.

Seeing that Xiao Shinan was courteous, Yeli Honglong also arched his hand and said: "Xiao Shizi, there are many offences today, please take care of yourself, I will find another place with the king of my family." ”

Zhao Yunxi just thought that the two parties were going to make a move, so he had already hid far away.

Seeing that their atmosphere was relaxed at this time, he just wanted to say something, and he didn't want Di Qing to come out of another private room, and said to him: "Bo Pinghou, you are so bold!" Privately befriending the Western Xia party, don't you know that we have been fighting against the Western Xia in Yanzhou for many years? ”

One sentence scared Zhao Yunxi into a spirit, "You, you!" ”

Zhao Yunxi looked up and saw that it was Di Qing, he naturally recognized the newly promoted commander of the palace, so he said, "It turned out to be Di Commander." I just had a chance encounter with the king of Xishaning, a chance encounter. ”

Di Qing said: "Do you know that the Queen Mother specially asked me to wait for you here?" ”

Zhao Yunxi was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, "What did the Queen Mother send you for?" ”

Di Qing sneered, "The Queen Mother wants to see who dares to collude with foreign thieves to be bad for the country!" ”

"No, Commander Di don't talk nonsense!" Saying that, Zhao Yunxi ignored Li Yuanze and the others, and ran downstairs with a smoke.

Li Yuanze was pulled by the wild red dragon, and he compensated Xiao Shinan, it was not interesting. Seeing that Zhao Yunxi was inexplicably gone, he was even more speechless and had to leave.

Yeli Honglong knew that things were deadlocked today, and it was inconvenient to stay in Fan Lou any longer, so he followed Li Yuanze and his many guards downstairs.
