This Hou Ye suddenly made a move, so that the guards on the side had no time to react, but even if they reacted, they had no intention of going up to stop them.

Huang Xiao didn't expect the other party to suddenly make a move on him, but he also reacted in an instant, his body jumped back suddenly, and he stepped back three feet.

It's just that when Huang Xiao retreated, the figure of Hou Ye followed closely like a ghost.

Huang Xiao had no choice but to slap out with a palm, only to hear a 'bang', and then his body was knocked out.

I saw Huang Xiao's body turn over in the air and fall to the ground, and his body staggered back five steps before he stood still.

On the other hand, the waiting master stood in place and did not retreat in the slightest.

Huang Xiao's face changed greatly, he knew that the skill of this Hou Ye in front of him was not comparable to himself, and his strength was enough to kill him with one palm. However, although the palm power just now was strong, he still removed the palm power and did not suffer any damage.

Zhao Yuankan's heart was not good, he couldn't help shouting loudly: "There are assassins!"

However, he forgot that this was not the Great Song Palace, but the Khitan Palace. As soon as he shouted, even the guards a few paces away didn't move, as if nothing was going on here.

Zhao Yuankan's face was very anxious, he didn't expect that someone in this palace would actually do something to Huang Xiao, and these guards were indifferent, could it be said that this was instructed by Yelu Longxu? Otherwise, who could kill people so blatantly in the palace, and it was the foreign envoys who were killed.

However, Lord Wu on the side had a calm face, and he couldn't help whispering: "Your Highness, don't worry, Lord Huang is fine." ”

Zhao Yuankan naturally saw that Huang Xiao was not injured now, but he also knew that Huang Xiao was probably not the opponent of the Hou Ye in front of him. If you go down, Huang Xiao will definitely not be an opponent, will he still be safe when the time comes?

However, when he saw the way Lord Wu winked at him. He also came back to his senses.

After all, this is the palace, if the other party really wants to kill Huang Xiao, he won't choose here, right? Therefore, he has less worry in his heart, but Huang Xiao's situation still makes him a little frightened.

After glancing at Huang Xiao who was not far away, the Hou Ye said lightly: "Is the dignified 'Saint Catcher' only so strong?"

Huang Xiao didn't know what this person meant, judging from his move just now, he didn't mean to want his own life, otherwise with his strength, he would definitely be unable to escape death.

"The skills of the seniors are unfathomable, and the juniors are inferior. Huang Xiao bowed and said.

Martial arts know no borders. The strength of the person in front of him is higher than his own, it is certain, Huang Xiao naturally did not dare to collide, so he saluted respectfully.

That Hou Ye just stared at Huang Xiao for a while, and then walked straight away.

After seeing the Hou Ye leaving, Zhao Yuankan hurriedly ran to Huang Xiao's side and asked, "Lord Huang, how are your injuries?"

"Thank you Your Highness for your concern, but I was not injured in my humble position. Huang Xiao said.

Zhao Yuankan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay, it's okay that this Hou Ye is just going to have a discussion with you, otherwise it will be troublesome." ”

"Can this be regarded as a competition?" Huang Xiao smiled helplessly in his heart.

How to say it is also a matter between two people with similar skills. The difference in strength between himself and that Hou Ye is too great, and it is not a competition at all, so it can only be said that the Hou Ye just now taught himself a little lesson.

"Envoy of the Song Dynasty. Please leave the palace with us?" said the eunuch.

Huang Xiao and the three naturally had no objections, nodded, and followed the eunuch to continue walking towards the palace gate.

After sending the three of them out of the palace, the eunuch went back.

"Your Highness. Please get on the sedan chair!" said Lord Wu.

"No, let's take a few steps, talk as we go. Zhao Yuankan shook his head and said. "Master Wu, do you know that Hou Ye? It's really weird, he even wears a mask. ”

Huang Xiao also looked at Lord Wu, this old man knew much more about the situation of the Khitan than the two of them.

"Lao Chen doesn't know this 'silver-faced waiting master', but he has heard of such a person. Lord Wu shook his head and said.

"Silver-faced Waiting Master?" Zhao Yuankan nodded, "That's right, he is wearing a silver mask, this title is also different, what is his origin?"

"The specific surname of this Hou Ye is not known to anyone, and it seems that the Khitan people don't know either, but they are called according to this title. Lord Wu said, "'Silver-faced Waiting Master' is a mysterious master who suddenly appeared in the Khitan, when the Khitan's 'Princess Longli' suddenly got married in a low-key manner, and the concubine is this 'Silver-faced Waiting Lord', of course, this marquis position was also sealed when he got married." Therefore, the origin of this 'silver-faced waiting master' is probably only known to a few people in the Khitan royal family. ”

"'Princess Longli'? Is it Princess Yelu Longli, who was known as the first beauty of the Khitan back then?" Zhao Yuankan asked, "It turns out that this Princess Longli finally married the 'Cover Waiting Master'." It is said that there were many people who were crazy about Princess Longli back then. ”

"Yes, but that was decades ago. There are not many people who know about Princess Longli's low-key marriage, and later, this princess and this candidate almost don't appear in front of everyone, and over time, everyone almost forgets that there is such a person. Lord Wu said.

"Princess Longli, I've heard of it, she should be the half-sister of the current Khitan Emperor Yelu Longxu, right?" asked Huang Xiao.

"That's right, Yelu Longxu is only in his twenties this year, not yet thirty years old, and Princess Longli should be more than ten years older than Yelu Longxu according to her age, about forty. Therefore, it can be guessed that the age of this 'silver-faced waiting master' should also be around forty, and there will be no big difference. Lord Wu said.

Huang Xiao nodded, he agreed with Lord Wu's inference. After all, she is a princess, and when she chooses a colt, she naturally chooses the best, so she must be about the same age as the princess. However, at the age of about forty, with such skills, Huang Xiao can only say that his talent is amazing.

In the fight just now, Huang Xiao knew that he had no chance at all, and only a master of the peerless realm could give him such a sense of powerlessness. Otherwise, even if he is a top-grade master, he can at least pass a few moves, right? If those masters who have just stepped into the top-grade master, maybe he will still be able to fight.

"There was also a rumor that the reason why this candidate wore a mask was because he was disfigured. Lord Wu said.

"These rumors are not credible. Zhao Yuankan said.

"Definitely. This is also some speculation by people in the Khitan country, and it should not be true. If she is disfigured, the princess probably won't be able to look down on it. Lord Wu also smiled and said.

"Maybe it's really possible to be disfigured?" Huang Xiao said.

"Whether it was or not, luckily he didn't do anything to us. Zhao Yuankan said.

Regarding Zhao Yuankan's words, Huang Xiao and Lord Wu also deeply agreed. This time I met by chance, I'm afraid it's because I'm a young 'saint catcher', so I made the other party a little curious to teach a lesson.

The next negotiation between the two countries must have nothing to do with this waiting master, so the three of them will not care.

The three of them walked along the straight street in front of the palace towards the 'Envoy's Mansion' as they spoke, and the guards who came with the Great Song scattered one after another, protecting the three of them.

When Huang Xiao and the three of them left the palace. The 'silver-faced waiter' entered the harem directly.

This harem is not accessible to foreign ministers, especially men.

However, he was not stopped by anyone when he entered, and stood in front of an exquisite courtyard.

"You're here, still not coming in?" I heard a woman's voice coming from the house in the courtyard.

"Madame's skills seem to have improved a lot, and her husband has deliberately concealed her breath and slowed down, but she didn't expect to be discovered by you. "The 'silver-faced waiter' laughed and stepped into the small courtyard. Then the figure appeared at the door of the house, pushed the door and entered.

There was only one woman in the room who looked to be in her thirties, dressed in a white palace dress, and her black hair was coiled up. She simply has a golden hairpin stuck in her head, but the beauty of her appearance is difficult to look at. This kind of beauty is a kind of graceful and luxurious beauty, less of the youthful beauty of a girl, and more of the mature beauty of a woman.

I saw her standing at her desk. Holding a brush and sketching a landscape painting on a piece of rice paper.

The silver-faced lady walked up to the woman and watched her paint.

Half an hour later, the woman gently moved behind the lower left corner of the painting. Only then did he put down the brush in his hand.

"How?" the woman exhaled, looked at the silver-faced waiter beside her, and asked with a show off on her face.

"Looks good. "The silver-faced waiter" smiled slightly, "But~~"

"But what?" asked the woman hurriedly.

"You paint characters to convey the spirit, and the scenery is a little insufficient, and besides, you have even made some common sense mistakes in this painting, and you are also grateful to write your name, isn't this a shame for the dead?" commented the silver-faced waiter.

Hearing the evaluation of the silver-faced waiter, the woman's originally satisfied face suddenly became gloomy, and said: "I was wrong? Where was it wrong, in order to paint this picture, I spent three whole days, if you can't tell why, I am not finished with you today, don't want to climb into bed at night!"

"You really feel good about yourself!" 'Silver-faced Waiter' shook his head, then stretched out his hand and pointed to a pine tree on a cliff in the painting, "Look at this pine, this is the south, isn't it?, but isn't it wrong that the shape of this tree grows to the north?"

Generally speaking, the canopy tends to grow in the south, because the south is sunny and grows better, and the canopy will be denser than the north. But this painting is the opposite, and this is a mistake of common sense.

"Really?" asked the woman coldly, "you are still so self-righteous!"

"It's not self-righteousness, it's that you don't know how to be humble. Speaking of which, Yan Yatou's attainments in landscapes and landscapes are higher than yours, you can ask her for advice, although she is a junior, but no matter how young or old. Huh?" The silver-faced candidate smiled, but as soon as he laughed for a while, his face changed slightly, and he leaned on the table, looking carefully at the painting on the table, his face was almost attached to the drawing paper.
