An Tao still underestimated Li Kui's status in Western Xia.

More appropriately, it is the status of the Western Xia rebels, and now these people should be called Wang Shi.

Li Kui is the unique god of war in the hearts of more than 100,000 people, even if Li Kui is a Han man, but the excitement of soaring on the road to leading them to promotion and fortune, who doesn't want to do it again?

Guhar was the first to take refuge in Li Kui, and swore allegiance to Li Kui, and was also the only slave that Li Kui accepted in Western Xia. This guy has no advantages, his martial arts are not very good, and he is not very good at leading troops to fight, but he is so loyal that even Li Kui sometimes can't stand it. And this loyalty still comes from the heart, so that even if he is angry, he can only bear it.

For Guhar, Li Kui is simply the god in his life. Letting the god in his mind greet an official of the Song Kingdom, didn't this force him to go crazy?

He didn't cut An Tao with one sword, he was already very restrained.

But An Tao thought about it again, and there were still many traces of Li Kui from Guhar's body, turning his face and not recognizing people, he would blow up his hair as soon as he flirted, and he would run away at every turn...... Xin said: "This idiot can't be Li Kui's subordinates recruited in Western Xia, right?" ”

Li Kui's subordinates look like they don't have a very good look.

Ruan Xiaoer is stupid on the street, of course, he is not really stupid, but he can't beat him more horizontally than him, and he doesn't dare to provoke him if he is stupider than him. At one time, he was the king and hegemonic near the Baokang Gate in the capital.

Ruda, this guy is a fool too. As long as the money is sufficient, I don't care if I am an official or not, this kind of goods is simply wonderful.

The only normal Li Yun has a bad brain. followed Su Shi to study, and before the exam, there were many famous people such as Huang Tingjian who taught before the exam, and others were admitted to the Jinshi, so he stupidly went to the martial arts exam. It is known as the shame of Sumen. Li Kui is surrounded by people who lack heart, and it is rare to meet a stupid and surprising martial artist, and he is already the only one who can handle it. According to this plot, An Tao believes that he was injured by mistake.

But he knows the second master of the Privy Council and the second civil official of the Great Song Dynasty, doesn't he want to lose face?

Thinking of this, even An Tao muttered in his heart: "Does Master Ben want to forgive Li Kui?" Or not forgive? ”

"You, you, you!"

Even if there is a loosening in his heart, but Master An Tao, a high-ranking official of the second grade, where can he stand this kind of anger, even if he suffers this anger, what is the face? Is he such a big official as an old man, so he is shameless?

No, you can't!

Fortunately, someone helped, but it made An Tao feel even worse.

Yelu Baoji persuaded: "Lord An, the Xixia people do not obey the king, and they are barbaric and do not know the etiquette, so don't be too angry." Now that adults are entrusted by the Son of Heaven of the Great Song Dynasty, they have to take care of their bodies! ”

An Tao put down his raised arm with a dark face and sat into the carriage without saying a word. But in his heart, he was full of slander: "Xixia doesn't know about kingization, and it seems that you Khitan people have become kings." You are 50 steps and 100 steps, all the way. ”

In the eyes of the Great Song elite, both the Liao State and the Western Xia were the same hill.

Although the upper echelons of these two countries, and even the royal family, are obsessed with the culture of the Central Plains, in one sentence: "You are also worthy!" ”

Ru Mao drank blood to fit the characteristics of these two barbarian countries.

Even if they are party members, many Khitan people have deep insights into Confucianism, but the Central Plains is orthodox, and the others are ...... Hmph, it's all crooked and heretical.

An Tao folded his face, kept silent on the carriage with a calm face, and exuded the aura of being unapproachable.

Suddenly, Qi brushed and shouted, which made him almost collapse.

"Greetings!"

Rowing, thousands of people chanted prostrately, so that An Tao sat in the carriage in surprise and couldn't speak at all. It turned out that Li Kui received the notice and went out of the city gate to greet him. Although he was standing at the gate of Pingxi Mansion, the majesty of gathering the heroes of the world instantly made people feel the urge to bow and worship.

"Li Kui, I've seen Bachelor An." Li Kui bowed to An Tao's carriage, An Tao was still angry at this time, did not get out of the car, but asked Li Kui in a somewhat stiff tone:

"Li Kui, are these your subordinates?"

"The bachelor misunderstood, these are all brothers to save face, in fact, the lower officials have no official position in Western Xia, and the marshal's statement is even more nonsense." Li Kui glared at Guhar, feeling that it was definitely a mistake to let this thing find out the news.

An Tao was also tired, and he didn't want to argue with Li Kui. As for everything Li Kui said, he didn't believe it.

Not subordinate.

Brothers give face.

What about the crooks?

An Tao didn't think that he was stupid enough to be deceived by Li Kui's gang, but he also muttered in his heart: Why did Li Kui have such a card in Western Xia? Who gave him such a big face.

Li Kui glanced at Guhar, who was a little ignorant, and he remembered that he had embarrassed the old man in the carriage before. However, Li Kui's words did not dare to disobey, and hurriedly took the men and horses as the pioneers and entered Pingxi Mansion City.

Pingxi Mansion is the gateway to the Western Xia Royal City, the second largest city, and the scale of the city is naturally not small.

Li Kui is in the royal city, so naturally he will not live in the palace, but in Pingxi Mansion, the best mansion must be vacated for Li Kui. And the best house is definitely the government. As An Tao followed Li Kui's guards into Pingxi Mansion, he saw a shocking scene, and the pedestrians and soldiers who drove by all bowed their heads and saluted.

An Tao doesn't think that he has such a big face in Western Xia, this is almost in time for the lord of Western Xia to travel, at least in his opinion, the prince may not have such a style as Li Kui.

He suddenly thought of one thing that the emperor and ministers were worried about in the palace before, what if Li Kui's house was too comfortable in Western Xia and didn't want to go back to the Great Song Dynasty?

Thinking of this possibility, An Tao was also so frightened that a cold sweat broke out on his spine.

Looking up at Li Kui's gaze, his eyes were very complicated, his fists clenched and released, repeated several times, and he didn't dare to be sure in his heart. But let him ask, but the old man hesitated. What if it's true? Li Kui stayed in Xixia in case he really became a prince and would not return to the Great Song Dynasty. As an envoy, he will definitely scold Li Kui for being disloyal and unfilial, and then there is a high probability that he will be detained by Li Kui, and if he would rather die than obey, he will probably die in Western Xia.

An Tao secretly took out a square scarf from his clothes, covering up the sweat on his forehead, and just turned his head, but found that Li Kui's eyes fell on his forehead, and said embarrassedly: "It's a little hot this day, and I'm sweating." ”

Ruan Xiaoer followed behind Li Kui, looked up at the sky, and hesitated: "It's about to snow, will it be hot?" ”

An Tao is also a rectum, but he was almost ruined by Ruan Xiaoer's straightforward heart. If you don't reveal your old bottom, will you die?

Fortunately, Li Kui stood in front of the stage, stretched out his hand and said, "Bachelor, please inside!" ”

An Tao is a Privy Council Scholar, and the rank of the Privy Council Scholar is very high, one level higher than the Bachelor of Longtu Pavilion, and slightly lower than the Bachelor of the Guanwen Palace, the Duanming Palace, and the Senior Administration Palace. The habit of the Great Song Dynasty, if An Tao is the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, then he will be called 'envoy'. Of course, the 'envoy' has lost its usefulness as an alternative title for prime minister during the Tang Dynasty.

Jie Du envoys, privy envoys, middle books, subordinate servants, and left and right scholars can all become 'envoys'. After the restructuring of Yuanfeng, the ministers of Kaifuyi and the three divisions can also be called envoys.

But in fact, the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty generally does not call the subordinate Zhongshu Shilang as the prime minister, and will be honored as the prime minister, or the left and right ministers; The left and right scholars will not be called 'envoys', but will be called left and right rulers.

Officials who have the status of a bachelor, but open the government with the three divisions, will not like to listen to the 'envoy'.

Over time, there was only one official sent by the Yamen who would use it, and that was the Privy Council. The privy deputy is generally not in the capital, but is in charge of the highest military division in command of the army. There are more local posts than in the capital, and local officials will call them 'envoys' in order to get married.

It is more of the festival envoys, and the old ministers of the court who have won the glory of the opening ceremony and the three divisions will be called 'envoys'.

An Tao is a fellow privy councillor, and if Li Qingchen goes out of Beijing, he will replace the privy envoy to perform the duties of the privy councillor, and he is the number two person in the privy council. According to the practice of the imperial city yamen, he prefers to be called a 'bachelor' rather than a 'minister'. After all, most of the identities of the 'envoys' are retired ministers who have lost their power.

Civil officials, especially those in office, are generally taboo and retired ministers are grouped together.

Hearing Li Kui call him a 'bachelor', this made An Tao feel a lot more relieved, at least the rules were not broken, and there was still salvation.

"Okay, okay, let's go."

The two of them made a false concession for a while, but it made Yelu Baoji behind An Tao very strange, Li Kui's appearance...... Nor should it be a civilian official. The urine of the civil officials of the Great Song Dynasty, except for their kind, they will not look at anyone well at all.

It seemed that Yelu Baoji's heart seemed to have been sensed by Li Kui, he turned around and saw Yelu Baoji, and hesitated: "Who is this?" ”

"Envoy of Liao, Yelu Baoji."

An Tao awkwardly introduced, he didn't have the face to say that the Great Song Dynasty, from the emperor to the prime minister, was threatened by the shameless Liao. Even he, the negotiating envoy, couldn't shake off the tail of Yelu Baoji.

Of course, the latter is also helpless.

The Liao envoy who came from Shangjing went to Xingqing Mansion, and he could only get his identity as an envoy of Liao State when he rushed to Xingqing Mansion. But he had another task on him, monitoring the outcome of the negotiations between the Song envoy and the Western Xia.

If you want to talk about the relationship between Western Xia and Liao, it is the relationship between the dog and the master.

Western Xia invaded the Great Song Dynasty many times, and no one would believe it if there was nothing about the Liao State behind it. And the Liao State was also happy to see the Great Song Dynasty being attacked and disturbed by the Western Xia. They can sit back and wait for the fisherman's profit.

Li Kui was puzzled: "The envoy of the Liao State." He was round, his eyes were too big, and the thief was pulling back and forth on An Tao and Yelu Baoji's bodies, as if the two of them had a secret relationship. An Tao coughed and said innocently: "Li Kui, don't get me wrong, the envoys of the Liao State came from Bianliang all the way to Western Xia who followed my Great Song Mission. There is another hidden secret. ”

Now that An Tao explained, Li Kui didn't ask any more.

Just let the Liao envoys live in his territory, Li Kui was obviously disgusted, and said to Guhar: "Prepare a place for the Liao envoy to live." ”

"Order!"

Guhar always has the ability to make the conversation between him and Li Kui take on the effect of Jin Ge Iron Horse.

Yelu Baoji didn't want to go, and hesitated for a while as if his feet were on the ground, before he followed away under the unkind eyes of Guhar.

Entering the mansion, the banquet has already been set.

An Tao looked down at the wine in the middle of the country, his heart was mixed, he originally thought that he would come to Xixia by himself, it should be a chore, but what he didn't expect was that he entered the hinterland of Xixia and found that this trip was probably not just a chore. It could even be an unlucky errand with no return.

Gritting his teeth ruthlessly, An Tao's inner curiosity still overcame his reason, forcing him to ask Li Kui: "Renjie, the old man sees that your row in Pingxi Mansion is not small, do you still want to go back to the Great Song Dynasty?" ”

"Yes! My wife who hasn't passed through the door is still in Bianliang, why won't she go? ”

Li Kui raised the wine bowl and said to An Tao: "Bachelor, come to Xixia to be bold, the people here are rude, and drinking is also enjoyable." Please also drink this cup to wash away the dust. ”

An Tao drank a bowl of wine in a daze, but found that Luda followed Li Kui behind and also held the wine bowl.

An Tao's eyes widened, and he said to Luda: "What are you making a fuss about?" ”

Most of the people around Li Kui are known to An Tao, and he can't say that he knows them, but he has heard of them. Looks and height match, basically can recognize eight or nine without leaving ten. The main reason is that most of the people around Li Kui are military generals, the emperor attaches importance to Yan Yanlu, and Li Qingchen also attaches importance to Yan Yanlu, so naturally the officials of the Privy Council will pay more attention to the officials who serve in Yan Yanlu.

An Tao recognized that it should be Luda who raised the glass, a military general, and even dared to respect him, the second-in-command of the Privy Council, and wanted to drunk the old man, so bold!

After drinking back Luda, An Tao turned his head and complained to Li Kui: "Renjie, although Xixia is said to be a foreign land, your every move now is in the eyes of people. If something a little out of the ordinary is slightly out of the ordinary, it will be magnified and grabbed by others. Before, you said that the wife who has not passed through the door, which is very inappropriate. You are in a foreign land, you have made meritorious contributions to the Great Song Dynasty, and you have forgotten your life, how can you use the personal feelings of your children to prevaricate? ”

Li Kui nodded frequently, pretending to look up happily and asked An Tao: "It's just a bachelor, if the lower officials say that for the sake of righteousness, Your Majesty, they dare not forget the grace of the monarch at all times, and they can't give up the people every day, will the officials give the kid a promotion!" ”

"Can't!"

An Tao felt that Li Kui's job was deliberate, and this time Li Kui didn't even have much hope of being promoted.

After all, Li Kui's credit for being able to get the bright face this time is really limited. However, Li Kui seemed to have expected it, smiled lightly, and unconcernedly took out a piece of silk from the pocket under his shirt and handed it to An Tao.

An Tao opened his eyes and looked at it, as if he had a prejudgment in his heart, but he still looked at Li Kui in disbelief and asked, "What is this?" ”

"Youtu."

An Tao frowned and said in a deep voice: "Nonsense, the old man knows the affairs of the Privy Council, can you see that this is a map?" ”

"This is the map of the military fortress in Western Xia."

Even if he had already judged in his heart, An Tao was still taken aback by Li Kui's rashness, and said tremblingly: "This thing is so important, you will take it with you later, what if you lose it?" ”

"Isn't that lost? My lord, can this thing prove that Xia Guan is concerned about the Great Song Dynasty? Li Kui raised his head and smiled, like a fox who had succeeded in his tricks.
