By the time Ye Pei returned to the inn, it was past noon.

Lin Bihan almost cried when she saw Ye Pei's safe return, and greeted her and said, "The princess is back, you are really going to die as a slave!" ”

Zhou Xun also asked: "Did the princess go to the palace at night?" Then you should also go in the middle of the night and come back in the middle of the night, how can you come back during the day? Could it be that the princess has gone somewhere else? ”

Ye Pei said: "What do you think of my makeup?" ”

Lin Bihan blinked and said suspiciously, "Where did the princess come back with such beautiful makeup?" ”

Ye Pei couldn't help but smile and said, "I went to the palace to be a dancing girl once." Ye Pei told him what happened last night.

Speaking of the Empress Dowager Fatian's use of human blood to refine the pill, Lin Bihan was so frightened that she smacked her tongue and said, "They are so cruel that they treat human life so lightly." ”

"These selfish, arrogant, brutal and unscrupulous people, they have brought the scourge of the Liao Kingdom to this point!" Ye Pei even slammed the table with his fist when he said he was angry.

Ye Pei's anger subsided slightly before he turned his head and asked Zhou Xundao: "Do you know what the origin of this King Langya is?" ”

"That Langya King Yelu Yelu Nu is the youngest son of Liao Jingzong and Empress Chengtian, there are rumors that he is the illegitimate son of Empress Chengtian and the regent Han Derang, and some people say that he was born to Concubine Bohai, and Concubine Bohai was succeeded to the name of Empress Chengtian after being killed, but this is impossible to verify.

However, Yelu Yenu was very important in the ten years of the reign of the regent Han Derang, and was successively named King Zheng and King Wu, and later because of his meritorious service to the Eastern Expedition to Goryeo, he was named the Privy Envoy of the Northern Court and the King of Langya.

It's a pity that later Liao Shengzong was in power, and he was afraid of the limelight of this young brother, and began to suppress the power of King Langya and his comrades. By the time the Holy Sect died, the king of Langya was in a state of marginalization. However, I heard that this person is beautiful and ruthless, and he is quite valued by the Empress Dowager Xiao Yunjin. ”

"Rong Mei is ruthless? It really matched my first impression of him. And I suspect that the death of King Nanping was directly related to Yeluno Nu. ”

Zhou Xun also said: "The princess, a killer who turns into a dancer, sings really well, and she has heard so many important messages. ”

Ye Pei smiled bitterly, and then said, "I'm going to meet this Langya King at night to see how capable he is." ”

Zhou Xun said: "King Langya is not a reckless man, he is cunning, ruthless, and the number one master in Liao's martial arts, the princess must be careful." ”

Ye Pei said: "Tonight, I just visited the Langya Palace, and I will never act rashly." ”

Lin Bihan saw Ye Pei and Zhou Xun discussing the matter of spying on the Langya Palace, and was anxious, and suddenly knelt down and said to Ye Pei: "Princess, although the slave and maid are soft-spoken, but after following you for many years, you always have to listen to my advice." You have been poisoned, and you must return to seek an antidote to the poison as soon as possible, and you must not risk your life again......"

Ye Pei hugged Lin Bihan and said: "Alas, Bihan, you know me best, the purpose of my trip is to solve the mystery of Xiao Shinan's killing, if I can't do this, I won't die!" ”

"Princess, the slave must not listen to you this time, just these few things, the slave and the maid also heard that the king of Langya is a sinister and fierce character. If you go, I'm afraid that there will be more bad luck, and I won't let you out this time! Lin Bihan said excitedly, and actually took out a short knife and aimed it at his neck.

Zhou Xun was shocked, "Miss Bihan, don't get excited. Come, listen to me, put the knife down first. ”

"Princess, you must listen to the slave's advice, if your poison is not solved as soon as possible, what is the point of finding out what the results are! The king of Nanping is no longer here, do you have to follow him? Zhou Xun said: "Miss Bihan, how can you force the princess to die?" ”

Looking at Lin Bihan's clear eyes, Ye Pei was a little discouraged, Brother Xiao Bodhisattva's death hit her hard.

Ye Pei sighed and said, "Okay, Bihan, you get up first, I promise you to find a way to detoxify the poison first, and I am not in a hurry to take revenge." ”

Lin Bihan showed a look of surprise, "Really, princess, I can't believe it." ”

Ye Pei nodded, his face full of exhaustion.

Lin Bihan saw Ye Pei's tiredness, served Ye Pei to wash, brought a bowl of detoxifying decoction, watched her drink it, helped her to bed and lay down, and then exited the room.

Although Ye Pei was unwilling, the poison on his body became heavier and heavier, so he had to temporarily admit defeat and order Lin Bihan and others to pack up their belongings and prepare to return to Nanjing City first.

But Lin Bihan went to Ye Pei's house early the next morning to serve, but she didn't see Ye Pei in the house, she said angrily: "Asked the princess to play me again!" ”

------

After sleeping until midnight, Ye Pei began to have insomnia again.

She lay on the bed in the inn tossing and turning, her stubbornness and her strength overcame her. She thought to herself: What if her poison is really incurable? Did you die in such a mess?

Ye Pei looked at the bright moonlight outside the window: the so-called charcoal swallowing paint body, the one who is a confidant dies! In order to avenge Xiao Shinan, why should he be afraid of the poison in his body? Even if you die, why fear?

Thinking about it, Ye Pei changed into a night suit and secretly set off to Langya Palace.

In the extremely cold night of Dading Mansion in Zhongjing, the air seemed particularly transparent, Ye Pei performed light power flying and longitudinal techniques, walked close to the ground, and soon arrived at Langya Palace.

The Langya Mansion covers the same area as the Nanping Palace, but it is not as similar to the Nanping Palace, which is similar to the Southern Dynasty, and it has a Khitan style. According to the old Khitan customs, it is centered on the king's tent, and other small tents are scattered around, so it is easy to find the residence of Yelu wild slaves.

At this time, in the dead of night, there was only one place where the sound of silk and bamboo floated. Ye Pei came to a small meeting room.

Although the small parlor is also a brick and wood structure, it is decorated like a felt tent.

Ye Pei quietly touched the small window and looked in, there were no tables and chairs in the hall, only a low desk, and the guests sat on the ground. There are several huge tapestries hanging on the wall, depicting scenes of warriors capturing tigers and shooting wolves in the deep forest.

Looking at the case again, there were two people sitting in front of the case, one of whom was Yelu Yenu, the king of Langya. At this time, the singing and dancing in the small hall was leveling, and King Langya was entertaining a distinguished guest, who was Uncle Xiao Changyi.

Xiao Changyi was born in a descendant clan and took the eldest princess of Chu State, the elder sister of Liao Shengzong, and now she is in an important official position in front of the palace, and is responsible for the security of the palace.

I only heard Yelu Ye Nu scolding: "This Aru is not only that, he has been hidden in Shatuo Country like a wild dog for more than 20 years without news, but now he suddenly kills back like a whirlwind, which is really unexpected!" In the early years, I was too young to persuade my mother to exterminate them. ”

Xiao Changyi was very calm, and drank a glass of hot wine before saying, "Hasn't there been any news from Ruwei?" ”

"I'm not sure yet, but Aru hasn't only been blocked in the Laoha River for a day or two, and they'll find a way to cross the river."

Xiao Changyi said again: "Look at their posture of sweeping the remnants of clouds in Shangjing, but the comers are not good!" ”

Yelu Yenu said contemptuously: "Hmph, that's Xiao Xiaoxian is too incompetent!" Let him and Aru not only go to consume first, but when they are almost consumed, then it is time for this king to take action and exterminate them in one fell swoop! ”

Xiao Changyi suddenly smiled weirdly, lowered his voice and said, "Doesn't King Langya want to induce Aru to sneak across the river with them?" ”

"What?" Yelu Nu didn't expect that he had met a guy who was even more sinister and cunning than himself, and he looked at each other with wide eyes.

The two of them muttered for a while, and because the voice was too small, Ye Pei didn't hear it, but after they said a few words, Yelu Yenu suddenly clapped his hands and laughed: "Hahaha, good idea, it's really wonderful!" It's really a good strategy for a praying mantis to catch cicadas and yellow finches behind! ”

"The Queen Mother still trusts her brother Xiao Xiaoxian more, if she borrows Alu's hand to get rid of this Xiao Xiaoxian, who will have the ability to compete with your King Langya at that time? Don't those royalty and nobles still have to obey you? ”

"If this plan succeeds, this king will definitely promote you to be the prime minister of the North Courtyard! Hahaha......"

I only heard Xiao Changyi say: "The little brother doesn't dare to take credit, so how can Aru be compared to King Langya no matter how powerful he is?" Who doesn't know that the pillar of our Da Liao is your King Langya? ”

Who knew that the king of Langya, Yelu Yenu, was not only not happy when he heard this, but pursed his lips and said with displeasure: "What if you have the ability, if the lord is jealous of you, you will stand aside." As he spoke, Jemanu drank a large bowl of turbid wine to himself.

"Isn't that the first emperor jealous of your high merit? Now that Emperor Shengzong is gone, it's your turn to show your ambitions. I think the Queen Mother will only rely on you in the future! ”

"Humph!" King Langya sneered and said, "A yellow-mouthed child, an ignorant and stupid woman!" If he assists them, the king's energy will be spent on those daily trivialities, what ambitions are there to talk about?

How many times has this king played, and if they want to restore the slave storage law, the slave storage law, they just didn't move, and they still used the Emperor and the Queen Mother to press me. We have used Han slaves for hundreds of years in Da Liao, do we want to learn from Han slaves? What a joke! ”

Ye Pei hated the Khitan system of using slaves and different punishments for the same crime, and since the Empress Dowager Chengtian came to power, these systems have progressed towards sinicization. After Liao Shengzong came into power, he inherited his mother's ambition and has been working in this direction, and the Great Liao Kingdom has also developed in a more civilized and prosperous direction.

Nowadays, the slavery system has almost been abolished in Xijin Prefecture, and although there are still some old-fashioned nobles in Shangjing and Zhongjing, there are not many who blatantly give slaves to death.

Ye Peixin said: But this Yelu slave still wants to restore the slave storage law? Although he is the youngest son of the Empress Dowager, how can he be so stubborn?!

"It's not that the Empress Dowager Chengtian has been asking for sinicization, sinicization, and you can't change it back as soon as Emperor Shengzong dies."

"My queen mother was delayed by Han De's Han man!" Yelu Nu took a hard sip of wine and said.

Xiao Changyi persuaded: "King Langya, don't be anxious, as long as your banner does not fall, those old nobles will definitely support you with all their might, of course they know that you will bring them more benefits." ”

King Langya raised his eyebrows proudly and deliberately said, "What's the use of asking them to support?" It's all useless old rubbish! ”

Xiao Changyi smiled knowingly, "Of course they can't compare with King Langya, and King Langya's exploits in Daliao naturally shouldn't just be King Langya." ”

Only then did Yelu Yenu smile, toast to Xiao Changyi, and said, "Why else does this king like to drink with his virtuous brother the most?" It's just fun, hahaha.

Brother Xian, this king occasionally reads some history books, do you know that the founding emperor of the Song Kingdom is called Zhao Kuangyin, and he was also inspected by the yellow robe in the big house? Haha, your official position has a future, do it well, hahaha......"
