"Nitohiko, do you want to make your family doomed?"

The cloak was finally lifted, revealing Ren Duoyan's slightly pale face, and he said to Li Bingqian seemingly calmly: "The king is not harmed?" ”

Li Bingqian's chest rose and fell, and he was taken aback by Ren Duoyan's calm reaction. Could it be that after taking refuge in the Song Kingdom, did he really think that he had a strong backer and could do whatever he wanted?

However, Ren Duoyan's sentence of 'king' shattered all Li Bingqian's dissatisfaction, leaving only a frightened excuse: "You don't want to frame me!" ”

Li Bingqian's statement is also reasonable, although the Western Xia has been founded for 50 years. But the Western Xia monarchs have always referred to themselves as kings, not emperors. The difference between these words really shows the weakness of Western Xia. The small country and the widow are still sandwiched between the two eastern hegemons of the Song Dynasty and the Liao State, how dare they be called together with these two behemoths?

In fact, the monarchs of Western Xia had always received titles from the Liao emperors.

In other words, the monarch of Western Xia did not count his accession to the throne in his own country, and he had to obtain the recognition of the Liao State before he could issue a credential.

This lowered the status of Western Xia to a higher level.

As for the Song Dynasty, both countries have made a real fire, and there is no sign of easing at all, and whether the king of Western Xia is recognized by the Great Song Dynasty is of little significance.

And the Great King is the honorific title given to him by the Western Xia monarch's foreign courtiers.

Ren Duoyan called Li Bingqian the king, and he also hid a needle in the cotton, which made Li Bingqian uncomfortable.

But Li Bingqian immediately saw that after his subordinates were killed by Li Kui and others, they were still in the pit. Thinking of his own situation, maybe life and death are also in the middle of the Dan family. Suddenly sat down on the ground with shortness of breath, looked up in the direction of Xixia, and had been brewing in his heart for a long time, wanting to sing a ballad of Xixia so as to end his life.

He wanted to survive, but he was even more reluctant to betray the royal family.

Li Bingqian is different from Ren Duoyan, he has more noble blood flowing in his body.

But just when he had been brewing for a long time and was about to start singing in a deep voice, he heard an annoying voice on the side say, "Does this guy still think he is the prince?" Tell you, this is the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, and you have to kneel even if you are the emperor of Western Xia. ”

As he spoke, a rope was put around Li Bingqian's neck, like a stubborn ram pulling his head, and the more he resisted, the tighter the rope around his neck became.

When he was pulled down in front of Li Kui, Li Bingqian covered his neck with both hands, and almost rolled his eyes with his mouth open.

"Ruda, you fool, this guy can't die."

Li Bingqian didn't feel the slightest gratitude when he heard someone talking for him, but he would rather die. To live, can only be humiliated?

The people below found a Mazha for Li Kui, so that he could have the might of the eldest lord's ascension, and at the same time, he was also very curious about how Li Zhimi interrogated the prince of Western Xia. It stands to reason that if such an important big man is caught, he should be sent back immediately. As far as Li Kui's small general judgment is concerned, he is not qualified to interrogate the prince of a country at all, even if the country is a Western Xia the size of a projectile.

"Show the prince!"

Li Kui felt that it was a bit inferior to humiliate the dignified prince of Western Xia, besides, he was a civil official and a reasonable person. The necessary etiquette should be in place.

But as a result, Li Bingqian still felt that he had been humiliated.

They are in the wild, where are the conditions to find a chair for Li Bingqian? So Ruan Xiaoerbei moved a stone with good intentions, the stone was angular and angular, Li Bingqian was also pressed the stone by Luda and Ruan Xiaoer, and the sharp corners of the stone full of malice were in close contact with Li Bingqian, and he felt a stinging pain rushing from his spine to his head. It felt like sitting on a half-dead beast and biting him with a venomous bite.

Thinking of the grievances of being captured, Li Bingqian decided not to speak again.

"Are you Li Bingqian?"

"If you don't speak, you won't solve the problem. You kid don't open your eyes, see what kind of place is this? Confession is the way out. ”

Li Bingqian glanced at Li Kui contemptuously, looking at the other party levelly, this bearing did not show that he was a prisoner at all, but like a nobleman, facing the attack of the officials, showing the calmness and contempt that the powerful should have.

After a long time, he said slowly: "You are not qualified to interrogate me?" ”

Li Kui touched his nose and thought about it, how did he feel that the guy in front of him wanted to break the jar and seek death after his identity was exposed? But he didn't panic, the living Li Bingqian was a credit, and the dead Li Bingqian was also a credit. He even wondered if he pretended to be Li Bingqian's identity and caused wind and rain in the territory of Western Xia, wouldn't it be refreshing?

Li Kui was not angry, but Luda and the others were angry enough.

They have never seen the captives arrogant and want to die, but they have never seen such arrogance, and the dignified Lord Li can't interrogate an enemy chief of Western Xia? Although the status of this enemy chief is a bit high, but what? Now one of them is counted as one, and they can all pinch Li Bingqian to death.

"Believe it or not, I buried you?"

Ruda's eyes widened with vicious rage, as if he was about to put people to death at the slightest disagreement.

No one doubts whether Luda has such courage, since this guy followed Li Kui, the whole person has exuded the temperament of a bandit. Even if he is now an official, he doesn't care at all, and he still does his own thing.

Li Bingqian didn't even look at Luda, but slowly pressed his eyes and said softly: "Come on!" ”

If you meet a person who is unforgiving, with Ruda's temperament, maybe the long knife in his hand will be raised high and cut off the dog's head. But it is obvious that Luda eats soft and not hard, but when he encounters a submissive person, he has lost his face, and looks at Li Kui stupidly, for embarrassment: "My lord, this guy is angry!" ”

Li Kui sighed, and said in his heart: With your rude appearance, can people give you a good face? The size of the family is also a prince, can I look at you with the right eyes?

"Stand down!"

"Stand down, all of you, and be on guard around you. In addition, let the wolf smoke send a message to Li Yun and ask him to bring someone over. ”

When the people around him were scattered, leaving only Li Kui, Nie Shiqu, Ren Duoyan, and Li Bingqian, who was bent on death, Li Kui said with a smile: "If you die, won't the plan of your Western Xia royal family be wasted?"

"Your Excellency!" Listening to the meaning of Li Kui's words, he didn't seem to want Li Bingqian to die. This is very unfavorable for Ren Duoyan, and even a huge threat, in case Li Bingqian passes back the news that the Renduo tribe wants to surrender to the Song Dynasty, wouldn't it be that the Renduo family will become a victim of Li Kui's kindness?

However, in the face of Ren Duoyan's request, Li Kui refused: "This guy is very useful." ”

Immediately, Li Kui said to Li Bingqian like a wolf grandmother: "Seventh prince, do you want to live?" ”

Think!

Is it an individual who wants to die?

Li Bingqian's throat seemed to be blocked, which made him uncomfortable. He wants to live, but if he lives, he will betray the royal family and become a disgrace to the Western Xia royal family, which is not in line with his pride.

Sometimes people are like this, a person who knows that he will die in the hands of the enemy, but he will be very tough. But once the thought and hope of being alive appears, it is like a poisonous seed that sprouts and grows in Li Bingqian's heart, and it won't take long for it to grow into a towering tree.

Li Bingqian said hoarsely: "I don't cooperate with Da Song." ”

"You don't have to be with Da Song, you can do it with me." Li Kui smiled and said to Li Bingqian: "How good is a person's life, you are not very old, if you die, what will happen to your wife and concubine?" What about your son? I've heard that you have a custom in Western Xia where a father dies and a son marries a mother......"

"Don't slander my party, our customs are similar to the Tang Dynasty."

Li Bingqian listened to Li Kui's words, as if he had eaten a live fly, which made him uncomfortable. The customs mentioned by Li Kui are the customs of the Xiongnu and the Turks, and the Tangut people have been educated by the Sui and Tang dynasties for three hundred years, and many customs have changed. Besides, the Tangut people are a branch of the Qiang people, not a grassland tribe.

Li Kui glared and said, "No? I thought you were all pretty much the same! ”

The corners of Li Bingqian's mouth twitched weakly a few times, and he didn't have the heart to break with Li Kui that Xixia was Xixia, and the grassland tribe was a grassland tribe. What is especially shameful is that there is no writing in Western Xia, and many customs from hundreds of years ago do not even have the courage to refute as long as the Central Plains people say wrong. Because in the Central Plains, what is recorded in the books of inheritance, even if it is wrong, is also correct. This is called a mountain of ironclad evidence.

The Tangut people have no historical records and evidence at all to prove that they were not barbaric.

"It doesn't matter!" Li Kui easily covered up his mistakes in the past, and then said to Li Bingqian with a little meaning: "But the Seventh Prince, Li is very curious about the purpose of your trip to Blackwater City. ”

"Didn't you say you had already guessed it?"

Li Kuixin said that you asked me to say this, so he was polite: "Even if Li doesn't know why you want to go to Blackwater City, I can guess that after the Western Xia War, the domestic treasury must have been empty." Without wealth to reward meritorious officials, the king will lose his prestige and the trust of his subjects. In the long run, the country will fall into a situation beyond the control of the monarch. It's a pity that the royal family of Western Xia is too disappointing, and it has been controlled by two women for nearly thirty years. ”

This remark made Li Bingqian blush, and the situation in Western Xia was like this, allowing the two women to be in power for nearly thirty years in succession. Relatives of the Liang family, two generations of queen mothers, are ruthless, once they threaten them, the women of the Liang family have even killed their own brothers.

The Liang family, a relative, suppressed the Li family of the imperial family, and it has reached the point of changing the dynasty.

But as a royal family, Li Bingqian can't admit that what Li Kui said is right, right?

The ugliness of the family is not rumored, and he doesn't want to talk to a Song person about the sorrow of the Western Xia royal family.

However, Li Kui didn't plan to let Li Bingqian echo him, but said to himself: "If you go to Blackwater City, you must have the idea of the Blackwater Army." I've told me all this, but I don't think it's that simple, the national teacher of the Gokokuji Temple is your goal. Now that the Li clan is in decline, just by relying on how tens of thousands of the Blackwater Army can compare with the army controlled by the Liang Clan, you have no chance to turn over at all. ”

"Only when the national division and the army unite and incite the people is the right way, the purpose is naturally to destroy the Liang clan and revive the ...... of the imperial family."

The more Li Bingqian listened, the more shocked he became, and he looked at Li Kui in a daze, but he didn't dare to stare at the other party's gaze, as if he had let people see through it, and there was nothing to hide.

Li Kui licked his lips, seeing that Li Bingqian didn't look like a good listener, and he didn't know how to cherish the opportunity to cheer. Su Ran said boringly: "However, Lord Seven, it seems that the goods you are carrying are too small, and you have to invite people to buy people's hearts, and you have to talk about moving the Huguo Temple, and at the same time you have to prepare food, this money is not enough, right?" ”

Li Bingqian felt that the direction that Li Kui cared about was not normal.

You, a Song person, are worried that the coup d'état in my Western Xia is insufficient, do you have other ideas?

When Li Bingqian's identity was exposed, the bearing of the prince in his bones returned to his body again, and he said indifferently: "This lord, I don't look like a person from the Imperial City Division when I hear you, who are you?" ”

"Listen up, this official is the Great Song Dynasty Secret Pavilion, and the Yan'an Mansion will sentence Li Kui."

"You are Li Kui?"

"What's the matter, you know me?"

"Li Kui, the third in the palace exam, Li Renjie?"

"You guy, you know the heel of this official and don't believe it?"

Li Kui was very angry, how much effort did he spend to mix up the skin of Zhang Wenguan, and in the blink of an eye, he was regarded as a military general by a bunch of shameless goods, wouldn't he want to die unjustly?

Especially after Li Bingqian looked Li Kui up and down, the reaction in his eyes was obviously disbelief. Li Bingqian thinks how can a guy like Li Kui be a civil official? He has been preparing funds to subvert the Liang family in the Great Song Dynasty, and he has come into contact with a lot of civil officials, and the civil officials of the Great Song Dynasty are vassal and elegant, and there is not even a trace of Li Kui. Because in Western Xia, he couldn't avoid Liang's eyeliner at all. Therefore, Li Bingqian has lived in the Great Song Dynasty for many years.

Li Kui also gave up his plan to persuade Li Bingqian, and said directly to Li Bingqian: "Look at you, planning a coup d'état was defeated. Even the goods that bribed the military and the Huguo Temple were cheated, and even this money was obviously not enough to impress so many people, so this official concluded that you would definitely fail! ”

Li Bingqian's eyes gloomed and said, "So what? I am a royal family, and I will not allow two women to bully my royal family for thirty years! Even if he dies, he is worthy of the ancestor of the Li family. ”

"Good man, there is a kind!"

Li Kui rarely praises people, but Li Bingqian was praised by him, but he didn't really admire it, but immediately said his careful thoughts: "It doesn't matter if your strength is not enough, you need to choose the right helper, and you can make your dreams come true." ”

Li Bingqian had just recovered from his mental state of not being afraid of life and death, and his heart was full of turmoil. But when he saw Li Kui's scorching enthusiasm like a flame, he suddenly became nervous and hurriedly reacted: "I don't need a helper." ”

He couldn't guess Li Kui's thoughts. is obviously a Song person, but he gave him a kind of thing to rush to get along with Xixia, are you idle!

But Li Kui looked yearning, rubbed his hands, and couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart: "Coup, what a rare opportunity, if you don't catch up, forget it, but isn't it catching up, I can't sleep without a kick." Besides, you Xixia, the Liang family is in power, and you are still a chicken Si Chen, which is unbearable! is obviously a widow, and she knows how to fight and kill all day long, and even a big man can't stand it. Just like you, looking dejected, it is destined to be a defeat and death. So, you need my help! ”

Nie Shiqu hurriedly pulled Li Kui to persuade him: "Brother-in-law, we can't help with such a big thing!" "A coup d'état, even if the Western Xia wants to make a coup d'état, how can they help?

He just wanted to take the brocade that Li Bingqian had paid on credit and send it back, hoping to make up for the loss of Duanwangfu.

But Li Kui didn't have this plan at all. After he became a jinshi, he let himself go a little bit, and now he even needs the emperor's edict in the capital to go back, and then go to Western Xia, digging a few dikes and other small actions can be his style?

The main thing is that he is too idle, and Li Kui is simply an idle person.

When he encountered a coup d'état in Western Xia, he couldn't help but want to make peace!
