Chapter 50 The Wise Man in the Eyes of the Northern Liao People

Fang Jie and Da Ju were hiding in the thick grass and looked at the path not far away. Because Mu Xiaoyao's red skirt was too eye-catching, he stayed in the reed marsh not far behind. From Mu Xiaoyao, he sensed that many people were approaching Fang Jie and Da Ju found a suitable place to hide, and they had enough time.

I thought it was from the Great Sui Dynasty, but after I got close to it, Fang Jie couldn't help but whisper in surprise.

"How could it be them?"

On the path not far away, a group of more than a dozen strong men gathered together and whispered a few words. Several people immediately stood around on guard, while the others found a clean place to sit down and rest. Fang Jie knew the young man sitting in the middle.

Robe, jacket, leather boots, and scimitar.

My forehead was shaved, but there was a black braid on the back of my head.

"Northern Liao people?"

The big dog was also slightly surprised, and subconsciously looked at Fang Jie and asked, "Do you know them?"

Fang Jie pointed to the young Northern Liao man in the middle and said, "I saw this man once when I was in Fan Gu. He brought five hundred good war horses into the city to sell. His name seemed to be Wanyan Li Yao... Although he pretended to be an ordinary herdsman, I could tell at first that this man's identity in Northern Liao would never be low. Look, those Northern Liao people dispersed with him as the center, and all the defenses were arranged against this man."

Fang Jie pondered for a while and said, "I came back from the imperial capital so soon. Could it be that he was rejected by the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty again this time?"

"I don't understand what you're talking about."

The big dog sniffed and said, "These people should not be targeting us, they have no murderous aura. But since Xiaoyao said that there are masters among them, we must be more careful."

Fang Jie smiled and pointed his hand at the war horses of the Northern Liao people: "It would be great if I could find a way to steal three of their horses. Of course, it would be better if I could steal their carriage."

“Huh?”

Fang Jie couldn't help but exclaim lightly after he finished speaking, because he found that there were actually women among the Northern Liao people!

One of the Beiliao people in men's clothing, obviously the size of the smaller one, took off the hat on their head and showed their long hair. Obviously, the big braids that had hung behind their heads were fake. Because they were a little farther away, they couldn't see her appearance very carefully. But they must have been disguised, and something should have been applied on their faces, so their skin looked a little dark. Fang Jie knew that all the women in Beiliao were as white as snow, and most of them had charming appearances.

"What's the fuss about?"

The big dog whispered: "If you guessed, this guy is a big man from the Northern Liao Dynasty. It would be no exaggeration to have a maid serving the bed. The nobles, isn't it important to have beautiful women around him warming their quilts?"

While the two of them were whispering in the grass, the Northern Liao people resting on the side of the road were also whispering.

The woman who had obviously disguised her face sat down next to Wanyan Liyao, and the posture of sitting in the woman was fully revealed. Her legs were bent inward, her knees were pressed against her knees, but her feet could almost be placed horizontally. If a man had a man in this position, he would probably be laughed to death. Moreover, the bones of a man's legs were thick and hard, so it would be difficult to sit like this and it was so natural.

Because the things applied on her face were too thick, it was impossible to tell how she looked. It was precisely because of this that her female hairstyle and this black face looked a little funny no matter how she looked.

Judging from her face, her body should not be fat at all. Now she looks burly and bloated, and her shoulders are very wide. She must have put a lot of things in her clothes.

She lowered her head and looked at her toes, picked up the kettle and took a sip, then looked at Wanyan Li Yao beside her: "Brother, what does the emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty mean? Let's go back inexplicably. If Father Khan asked how we would explain... Although compared to the past, a big man met you this time, he just refused to point out too much. How can we prepare for this?"

"This is the most disgusting thing about the people in the Central Plains, and it is not pleasant enough!"

A rough man with a bearded man standing not far away said with some dissatisfaction: "We sincerely surrender to the Great Sui Dynasty and are willing to be the people of the Great Sui Emperor. Instead, they are holding airs and refuse to let go. Are they still afraid that we will leak things? You must know that the risks we Northern Liao people are much greater than those of the Sui people."

"Kuedai, I can't say that."

Wanyan Chongde, the prince of the Northern Liao land with the pseudonym Wanyan Li Yao, waved his hand and said, "There is a reason for the Sui people to think about it this way. Whether they really plan to accept the surrender of our Northern Liao land or not, the Great Sui will not give any clear answers before they are ready. Once this news leaks out, there will inevitably be a battle between the Great Sui and the Mongolian Yuan. Whether it is Meng Ge, the Emperor of the Great Sui, or the Emperor of the Great Sui, the emperor of the powerful empire, they all regard their own face as important. If the war really wants to start, they will not allow their soldiers to be defeated."

"The Han people in the Central Plains live too tiring!"

Kuotai kept waving his horse whip and beating the weeds on the roadside: "What big thing can we do like this? If I were me, I would have sent a large army to fight with our Northern Liao cavalry. The men and horses arranged by the Mongolian Yuan on the northwest border of the Great Sui Dynasty were just less than 100,000 cavalrymen of the Mandu Banner. If we really fight, our Northern Liao cavalry would be able to slaughter him with 30,000 cold cavalry in the Northern Liao area, and there was no need for the Great Sui Dynasty to send troops!"

Wanyan Chongde shook his head: "I have a guess now. If this is true, then we will persuade our father Khan to prepare for war after we go back. However, before I left, the Minister of Rites of the Great Sui Dynasty, Huai Qiugong, began to pretend to be confused again, so I couldn't guess what they planned."

"What guess?"

A woman from Beiliao asked.

"yes……"

Before Wanyan Chongde could speak, the Northern Liao warriors on guard not far away shouted loudly: "Who is it!"

Wanyan Chongde and the Northern Liao woman stood up and looked over there, but saw a wet boy walking over with a smile.

"Brother Wanyan, are you safe?"

The young man bowed his hand from afar and called out with a smile.

...

...

"Mr. Fang?"

When Wanyan Chongde recognized Fang Jie, he couldn't help but open his mouth slightly in surprise. He really didn't expect that by the mountain road, he would meet the young man who left a deep impression on him when he was in Fan Gu. Although he knew that the young man was just a deputy of the border army, he has been particularly respecting this young man since that side.

At that time, in the Fangu dungeon, the young man told him that he would definitely have a big and huge official to meet him when he arrived in the imperial capital. At that time, Wanyan Chongde didn't believe it, but after he arrived in the imperial capital, it was the Minister of Rites who met him in person. He never believed that people had the power of prophecy, so he would rather believe that this young man's mind was very, very useful.

Such people are called wise men in the Northern Liao Dynasty.

And the wise are highly respected in the Northern Liao Dynasty.

"Don't call me an adult, I'm just a small soldier from the border army of the Great Sui Dynasty."

Fang Jie walked over with a smile, and didn't care about the Northern Liao warriors who held the hilt of the scimitar on his waist. His indifferent behavior attracted the idea of ​​the Northern Liao woman. Just when Fang Jie appeared, she quickly put on her hat, and the big braid was hanging down from behind her head, and there was really no flaw.

Fang Jie's eyes were just swept across the woman's face, and he didn't stop for a long time, but the woman's bright big eyes still left a deep impression on him. Her eyes were big and bright like water, and they looked particularly attractive. I just didn't know what was applied to her face, but I couldn't tell the color of her original skin at all.

The woman's big beautiful eyes were on Fang Jie, and she looked very curious.

Fang Jie smiled while walking, "Brother Wanyan doesn't mind, you can call me brother."

Wanyan Chongde quickly walked over and smiled as he walked, "You are the most respectful wise man I have ever met after entering the Sui Dynasty. It is my glory to be able to match your brothers. Since Fan Gu left, I often think of you, and I always regret that I have no chance to meet again. Or that Changshengtian heard my prayers, I will specially arrange for Brother Fang to come and meet me."

Fang Jie is not unfamiliar with the way people speak in the Northern Liao Dynasty.

He smiled and said, "Yes, Changshengtian gave me a dream and said you miss me, so I went here thousands of miles to wait for you."

"Ha ha!"

Wanyan Chongde couldn't help laughing, and pulled Fang Jie's hand without restraint and walked back. While walking, he introduced his subordinates: "This is the good brother I met in Fan Gu, and he told me that the Great Sui Dynasty will receive us this time."

"I've met Fang Zhizhe."

Kuode and others did not dare to neglect them, so they quickly placed their arms across their chests and bent down to salute.

Fang Jie waved his hand quickly and said, "I am not a wise man, I am a wise man. By the way... Brother Wanyan, have you been to the Imperial Capital? How could you meet you here?"

Wanyan Chongde waved his hand, and the Northern Liao warriors left immediately. He took Fang Jie's hand and sat down on a stone on the side of the road. After saying the passage in the imperial capital, he sighed: "Brother Fang, you are not an outsider, but a friend of my Northern Liao, so I don't plan to hide it from you. It seems that this time we will return to the 100,000 mountains in Northern Liao. I feel very sad that I have let down my father Khan's trust."

Fang Jie frowned slightly, thought for a while and asked, "Why, the court asked you to eat, drink and have fun in the imperial capital and then send it out?"

“This time it’s different.”

Wanyan Chongde told the story of seeing Huai Qiugong, the Minister of Rites of the Great Sui Dynasty. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Brother Fang, you are the wisest person I have ever met. I treat you like my own brother, and people from the Northern Liao Dynasty sincerely regard you as a friend. Please help me think about it, what is your Sui Dynasty attitude this time?"

Fang Jiexin said that these people from the Northern Liao Dynasty were indeed stupid and stupid, and they could tell such important things at will when they met. However, he liked such a straightforward temperament very much. At least he would not be very tired when dealing with such people.

He recalled Wanyan Chongde's words, then shook his head and said, "This time is definitely different, otherwise the Minister of Rites would not see you in person. Moreover, in fact, you should not be confused from the beginning. You should think that this time is very different from your previous request to meet the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty."

“Where is different?”

Wanyan Chongde asked subconsciously.

Fang Jie smiled and said, "Think about it, the envoys sent by the Han people from the Northern Liao Dynasty to the Great Sui Dynasty to meet the emperor. Every time they mentioned that the Northern Liao Dynasty wanted to rely on the Great Sui Dynasty, what kind of answer did the officials of the Ministry of Rites give?"

"Avoid talking, and refuse if you ask urgently."

"Is there any more?"

"I'll give you a lot of gifts."

"Did you give me a gift this time?"

Wanyan Chongde shook his head and said, "No, let alone there are no gifts like exquisite porcelain and tea, when he left the imperial capital, there were no officials from the Sui court who sent me. Before I left the imperial capital, I wanted to see Lord Huai Qiugong again, but no one responded to me. It was like, suddenly we became people who were not liked."

Fang Jie stood up and patted Wanyan Chongde on the shoulder and said seriously: "Go back and tell the Khan from the Northern Liao area and let him order you the warriors from the Northern Liao area to prepare. Maybe... the war is really coming."

Wanyan Chongde said in surprise: "Are you really so sure?"

"Brother... Lord Messenger, you should believe the words of the wise."

The man from Bei Liao who had been sitting quietly on the side complained to Wanyan Chongde, or because he almost said the wrong thing, a blush appeared in his dark face.

Wanyan Chongde was stunned and then quickly apologized.

Fang Jie hesitated for a moment and said, "No need to thank me... Actually, I came to you to ask you for your request. I have encountered some difficulties now, and I don't know if Brother Wanyan is willing to help."

"Keep!"

Before Wanyan Chongde could speak, the woman nodded vigorously. She woke up after she finished speaking and her face seemed to be even redder.
