The night is as cool as water, and the capital has ushered in the most lively night market. During the day, most people have their own things to do and have no time to go shopping with their families. However, they are idle at night. In addition, the security in the capital has greatly improved, and many major streets have lanterns hung on them, so the lively night market has long exceeded that during the day.

In a private room on the second floor of Yuweizhai, Li Zhang demonstrated how to eat roast duck to Yelu Renxian, and Yelu Renxian also rolled up the dough cake as usual, then put it in his mouth and tasted it. He immediately praised it. He never thought that ducks could be so delicious.

Li Zhang was not tired of roast duck, and the night view outside was just right at this time, so he also looked at the night view outside the window while eating roast duck. This Huiweizhai was no longer the same, but a branch opened by the Bian River. Outside the window was the sparkling Bian River, and there were many boats on the surface of the river. The lanterns at the bow emitted a hazy light, making the Bian River look like a Milky Way in the sky.

Yelu Renxian also noticed Li Zhang at this time, and looked out the window along his gaze. When he saw the night view of the prosperous Tokyo City outside, he couldn't help but show a complicated look. Even when the Liao Kingdom was at its strongest, none of the five capitals could be compared with the Tokyo Bianliang of the Song Dynasty. Not to mention anything else, just one population, the five capitals of the Liao Kingdom and the five capitals and one part could only be compared with the Tokyo City.

"The place where the Song Dynasty is the most wisest place is not like the scenery on earth!" Yelu Ren looked at the scenery outside first, and finally said with some emotion. Although he had heard of the prosperity of Bianliang City before, he could only compare with the Central Beijing or Nanjing of Liao Kingdom. But now when he saw it, he realized that his imagination was too scarce.

"Although the scenery is beautiful, there are always some people who want to break such beautiful scenery for their own ambitions." Li Zhang replied softly and hard at this time. In the past, in order to maintain peace, the Song Dynasty paid annual monies to the Liao Kingdom every year. This humiliation of exchanging money for peace also entangled in the hearts of every Song people. Fortunately, he defeated the Liao Kingdom later, which made the Song people feel proud.

Hearing Li Zhang's words, Yelu Renxian also looked at him deeply, and then replied: "Nanjing in the Great Liao Dynasty was once prosperous. Although it was not as good as Bianliang City, it was also a famous city in the world. However, it is now occupied by the Great Song Dynasty for no reason. Don't forget this matter of Dingbei Hou!"

"Haha~, Yan Yun is my homeland of Han people. At that time, you Khitan took advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains to cut Yan Yun away. Moreover, they have been threatening the Central Plains with Yan Yun as a pedal for hundreds of years. Now, my Song Dynasty is just regaining my homeland!" Li Zhang laughed loudly when he heard this.

"Nonsense, my Great Liao inherited the Tang Dynasty. It was originally the orthodox Central Plains. On the contrary, your Great Song Dynasty tried to resist my Great Liao with a separatist land. If it weren't for my Great Liao's kindness, I would have destroyed you as early as the time of Chanyuan!" Yelu Renxian also glared at the sight of Li Zhang's words, and the atmosphere between the two became a little tense.

"It's nonsense. You Khitan is just a small tribe that raises horses for the Tang Dynasty. Even the Han people are not considered to be the orthodox Central Plains?" Li Zhang retorted without showing any weakness. He had seen the faces of the Liao people who claimed to be orthodox, so he was not very angry at this time.

"You..." Yelu Renxian wanted to argue, but thinking that the Song Dynasty is now strong, even if he wins the debate, it is useless. This made him sigh, "Forget it, it's useless to say more of this kind of thing. However, since the Song Dynasty intends to form an alliance, it naturally wants to live in peace with our Great Liao. I hope that you Great Song can also show some sincerity!"

"Since we want to form an alliance, our Song Dynasty will naturally show our sincerity, but what I am worried about is your Liao Kingdom. You all know the situation in the Liao Kingdom now, especially your Emperor, who only works based on your own preferences, so I am worried that this covenant may not last for too long." Li Zhang pointed out without hesitation at this time.

In fact, the purpose of this alliance with the Liao Kingdom was to jointly deal with Dangxiang, and did not resolve the conflict between the Song and Liao countries. Li Zhang did not intend to let the alliance last too long. It is estimated that Yelu Zongzhen also had the same idea. After all, with his arrogant personality, as long as his strength recovered, he would definitely tear up the alliance and avenge the Song Dynasty.

Yelu Renxian also showed a silent expression when he heard Li Zhang's words. He knew Yelu Zongzhen's character better than anyone else, and naturally he knew that Li Zhang's words were at the critical point. It can be said that the most uncertain factor between the Song and Liao countries was Yelu Zongzhen. Of course, the Song Dynasty was also unreliable. Now the two sides formed an alliance to deal with Dangxiang, but if Dangxiang was destroyed, the Song Dynasty would likely send troops to the Liao Dynasty immediately.

"Brother Renxian, do you know that now I really want to detain you in the Song Dynasty. The Liao Kingdom lacks you, an important minister. With your emperor's character, it will probably not take long before the Liao Kingdom will be in chaos!" Li Zhang suddenly approached Yelu Renxian and stared at the other party with a smile.

Yelu Renxian was also shocked at this time, and then looked at Li Zhang up and down a few times, and when he was sure that the other party was just joking, he responded faintly: "What a pity, if I could have known that Dingbei Hou could have such a great influence on the Song Dynasty, I would probably have to keep you in the Liao Dynasty no matter what."

"Hahahahaha~, it seems that we are really heroes who have similar views, but even brother Renxian's talent, I'm afraid that it will not be able to recover the general trend of the decline of the Liao Kingdom!" Li Zhang laughed after hearing this, and then said to Yelu Renxian very seriously.

"What do you want to say?" Yelu Renxian asked back a little annoyed when he heard this. He was very resistant to Li Zhang's words, but there seemed to be a voice in his heart that Li Zhang was talking about the facts. After all, as an important official of the Liao Kingdom, he was very clear about the current situation of the Liao Kingdom. He was also extremely heartbroken as he watched the Liao Kingdom weaken day by day.

"Those who know the times are heroes. I appreciate Brother Renxian's talent. If I were Brother Renxian, I would definitely choose the wise ruler and supplement him. As for who is the wise ruler, I don't need to say more, right?" Li Zhang finally explained his purpose. He really wanted to recruit this important official of the Liao Kingdom.

However, in the face of Li Zhang's recruitment, Yelu Renxian refused without hesitation, and even stood up angrily and wanted to go back. Li Zhang smiled faintly and said nothing.

In fact, Li Zhang also knew that the probability of Yelu Renxian being persuaded by him was too small, but he still wanted to give it a try. Even if he couldn't move the other party, as long as Yelu Renxian knew that the Song Dynasty had left him a way out, it might be useless now, but it might have miraculous effects at critical moments in the future.
