This tiyì put the Western Xia prince Li Chengzhen in a dilemma.

Logically speaking, although there is no conclusive evidence, everyone knows that it was Li Chengzhen who assassinated the father of the crown prince Li Deren, and there was a father-killing enmity between them, but five years ago, Li Zunzhen killed Li Chengzhen's father Li An'an, and the Western Xia royal family was a confused account of murdering each other.

At this time, the crown prince Li Deren did not care about the revenge of killing his father, but used the national fortune of the Western Xia Kingdom to force Li Chengzhen to go to Zhongxing Mansion for peace talks, if Li Chengzhen did not go to Zhongxing Mansion, it means that Li Chengzhen did not care about the Western Xia Kingdom at all, and was naturally not qualified to become the emperor of Western Xia.

This is to use the name of righteousness to force Li Chengzhen to make a choice.

Why did you choose the location in Chung Hsing House?

Li Deren's reason is very sufficient, Zhongxingfu is the front line of the resistance to the Mongol army, he is in charge of the Western Xia military, can not leave without permission, if he goes to Xipingfu for peace talks, what if there is a problem on the front line?

The crown prince Li Deren sent an invitation, this is a dignified and upright conspiracy, Li Chengzhen is not allowed to escape, if he escapes, he will lose the trust of the ministers and the hearts of the people of Western Xia, those officials who hold military power are watching Li Chengzhen's choice, and the prince of Western Xia is pushed to the cusp.

This is a feast.

At the beginning, Liu Bang risked his life to go to Xiang Yu's army for a banquet, and finally successfully escaped and became the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, but there are more examples of booby-trapped people in history.

Li Chengzhen came to Yang Kang, hoping that Yang Kang would accompany him to Zhongxing Mansion, in his opinion, accompanied by the King of Jin, the crown prince Li Deren would not come nonsense in front of the Jin people, he was going to use Yang Kang as a talisman.

Are you a fool to me?

Yang Kang was silent on the surface, but he had already scolded in his heart, from this point it can be seen that the prince of Western Xia is not righteous, and he cannot have deep friendships, anyway, His Royal Highness does not plan to become friends of life and death with Li Chengzhen, but just use each other.

"Brother Chengzhen, if we go to Zhongxing Mansion together, once Li Deren has a different intention, we will all fall into it. Yang Kang said thoughtfully, "Why don't you go to Zhongxing Mansion for peace talks, I will stay in Xiping Mansion and take care of each other, if Li Deren has ill intentions, I swear in the name of Wanyan that I will do my best to help you." ”

Now Yang Kang has no burden on swearing this kind of thing, and there is no problem with sending it hundreds of times a day, anyway, in the name of Wan Yan, it has nothing to do with him.

Li Chengzhen is looking for Yang Kang with the attitude of trying it out, if this child is righteous enough to go with him, it is best to go with him, now it seems that His Royal Highness is not so easy to deceive, he has no choice but to give up this thought, Li Chengzhen has no hope for Yang Kang's rescue, if the crown prince Li Deren really wants to kill him, how can this King Jin have time to help?

What Jin Guo needs is an obedient Xixia, if he Li Chengzhen dies, Jin Guo can still cooperate with Li Deren, this is the sorrow of being a chess piece, Li Chengzhen and Yang Kang thought so when they separated.

In fact, there are only a few people in the whole world who are qualified to play chess, and the rest of the beings are chess pieces, and it doesn't matter whether they are sad or not.

In this way, Li Chengzhen, the prince of Western Xia, embarked on the journey to Zhongxing Mansion with his entourage, while Yang Kang stayed in Xiping Mansion, and this peace negotiation related to the fate of Western Xia Kingdom began.

Yang Kang received an edict from Wanyan Honglie while waiting, Wanyan Honglie didn't expect that Li Zunxuan, who had been fighting against the Jin State, would die like this, this is a great opportunity, you can control the Western Xia Kingdom, and use the strength and wealth of the Western Xia to fight hard with the Mongols, even if the Western Xia is finished, it doesn't matter, as long as you can stop the Mongols.

Emperor Wanyan Honglie of the Jin State ordered Yang Kang to facilitate peace talks between Li Deren and Li Chengzhen, and at least one of them should be entrapded.

Yang Kang put this edict aside, he was not interested in this task, if Li Deren killed Li Chengzhen, he would naturally send someone to contact him, if Li Chengzhen could get out of Zhongxing Mansion alive, then support this Western Xia prince, after all, Li Chengzhen is related to the Tomb Sect, and he may be able to use it in the future.

His Royal Highness the King of England is busy inspecting the talents of Western Xia, because of the exposure of Yang Kang's identity, many ministers and scholars close to the Jin State in Western Xia have come to visit in an endless stream, these people have seen the hope of an alliance between Western Xia and Jin, and want to be close to the prince of the Great Jin Kingdom first.

Yang Kang did not disappoint these people, the education of the royal family made him have standard etiquette, elegant conversation, and these people quoted scriptures for half an hour is no problem, Western Xia has been promoting sinicization, the etiquette official system is no different from the Central Plains, Yang Kang has no pressure to deal with it.

However, these Confucian scholars are not what he urgently needs, these people may be able ministers in the peaceful and prosperous times, but the troubled times are coming, he needs those talents who do practical things, like Yelu Chucai, who do not talk clearly, do not lie, and do everything in an orderly manner.

This is Yang Kang's vision is too high, a talent like Yelu Chucai can only produce one in hundreds of years, if he can never find the talent he needs by this standard, but unfortunately he and Yelu Chucai missed it, this may be fate.

On this day, Yang Kang sent away a scholar who came to serve, this scholar barely met his requirements, he was a practical person between words, and he was not tied by an official position, so he could go back to Chang'an City with him to be a staff member, but he didn't recruit immediately, and he still needed to check the identity of this scholar.

The scholar said goodbye to His Royal Highness the King, hurried all the way, entered a mansion, and left through the side door of the mansion, and so on many times, and finally came to a house, pushed the door open, there were men and women in the house, and looked like they were waiting for this scholar, one of the old monks, who was the mad master of Mingjiao.

"Lou Zuo, how's that?" the Mad Master asked.

This scholar is the bright left envoy Lou Shidao of Mingjiao, and he is also the only one in Mingjiao who does not know martial arts, he was born with a weak physique, not suitable for martial arts, so he has read a lot of books since he was a child, and has become a figure like a military teacher in Mingjiao, and his ancestor is Lou Minzhong, the left prime minister under Fang La.

"This is not a small picture. Lou Shidao said cautiously, "He is recruiting talents, I don't think about it, we don't know much about the Jin Imperial Court, but it is rumored that His Royal Highness was relegated to Chang'an, as the eldest son of the emperor, I am afraid that he is unwilling, and sooner or later it will become a disaster." ”

"Uncle Lou, don't say that these have nothing to do with us, you should first talk about Xiaoqu'er's hatred. Fang Guangming on the side said eagerly.

"Guangming, before doing things, we must first find out the enemy's situation, so that we can find the enemy's weaknesses and attack, so that we can get twice the result with half the effort. Lou Shidao nodded, "Xiao Qu'er's hatred is not in a hurry, since his people are there, kill him sooner or later." ”

This Guangming Left Envoy who doesn't know martial arts doesn't hesitate to talk about killing, and the others are not different, because they are sure that if Lou Shidao wants to kill the person he wants to kill, even if he runs to the ends of the earth, he will not escape death, and sometimes it is more terrible to know martial arts than to know martial arts.

"What does the left envoy mean?" the mad master wondered.

"Master, the affairs of Western Xia are no longer possible, and sooner or later the Mongol army will attack and let the brothers retreat to the top of the light, so as not to cause unnecessary casualties. Lou Shidao admonished, "I originally thought that Mobei would be unified in five years, but I didn't expect that Temujin to rise so fast, so that our plans in Western Xia were in vain, it seems that the will of heaven is not on my side of the Ming Sect." ”

"The old monk is provincial, so I will arrange for the disciples to retreat. The mad master obeyed Master Lou's words, nodded and said, "Won't the left envoy go back with us?"

"No, it's not easy for me to come out, I want to follow His Royal Highness to Chang'an City to have a look, and by the way, I will find out information for Xiao Qu'er, and see how this King Jin has the ability to do so many big things that shake the martial arts of the Central Plains. Lou Shidao said with a little appreciation.

"Uncle Lou, you have to be careful, he is very deceitful. Qu Feiyan said worriedly.

"Hehe, is there anyone in this world who is more deceitful than me?" Lou Shidao smiled confidently, "What about you?"

"I want to go to Peach Blossom Island, first, to worship my father, and second, I want to ask my master, why didn't he avenge my father?" Qu Feiyan said firmly.

"Peach Blossom Island Huang Yaoshi?" Lou Shidao looked up at the sky, thought for a moment, and said to Qu Feiyan, "Your master is a strange person, you should learn his skills first, only with the ability can you take revenge." ”

In this way, because Yang Kang killed Qu Lingfeng and Qu Feiyan entered the Ming Sect, and led out the Ming Sect masters who were originally crouching on the top of the light, if there was no influence of Yang Kang, the Ming Church was forced by Temujin's iron cavalry to retreat from the Western Xia to the top of the light, and continued to crouch, waiting for the next opportunity.

At the same time, in the Zhongxing Mansion of Western Xia, Li Chengzhen and the crown prince Li Deren were indeed attending the banquet, and they were talking very happily, there was no tense atmosphere of the Hongmen banquet at all, and Li Deren did not have any sadness about Li Zunji's death.

It turned out that before Li Zunwei fled back to Xiping Mansion from Zhongxing Mansion, the crown prince Li Deren had risked his life to admonish, hoping that Li Zunwei could form an alliance with the Jin State and ask for reinforcements from the Jin State, so as to keep the Xixia Dynasty, but Li Zunwei insisted on going his own way, and even had the remarks of abolishing the prince, and wanted to set up the second son Li Dewang as the crown prince, which led to the tension between Li Deren and Li Zunwei.

Li Chengzhen killed Li Zunzhen and relieved Li Deren's crisis, at least he is still the crown prince of Western Xia, he invited Li Chengzhen to come for the reinforcements of the Jin State, he clearly knew that if there was no reinforcements from the Jin State, Zhongxing Mansion would not last for three months, and it was only a matter of time before the Western Xia Kingdom perished, so what was the point of striving to be the last emperor of the Western Xia Kingdom.

As jīng Ying, who was cultivated by the Western Xia royal family, they knew one thing, if they wanted the Jin Kingdom to send reinforcements to protect the Western Xia, they must deceive His Royal Highness the King of Jin to Zhongxing Mansion, once the Mongol army besieged the city, as long as the Jin Emperor was in the city, I believe that the Emperor of the Jin State would definitely send troops to relieve the siege.

The two Western Xia royals raised their glasses and drank together, reaching an agreement.

Yang Kang, who was far away in Xiping Mansion, didn't expect that the final target of this Hongmen banquet would be him, he was looking at Lou Shidao in front of him, showing a gentle smile like a corporal of Lixian. (To be continued.) )
