Chapter 635: Fish Feast... (Served in the third update)
In this case, I can give it a try... a fish feast, right?
I happen to be participating too, and when the time comes, I'll see if I can add some eye drops.
No matter what, it would be great if it could intensify the conflict between the Liao Kingdom and the Nvzhi tribe to the greatest extent.
Only in this way could the Song Dynasty be able to concentrate on dealing with Xixia without any distractions, even when the Liao Kingdom was completely restrained by the Nuzhi.
No matter what, even if he acts coquettishly and cutely to his master and uses all kinds of martial arts, he must convince his master to take over the important task of attacking Xixia.
Think of the 50,000 elite Forbidden Army soldiers that your father, Lieutenant Gao Qiu, trained with great pains and sacrifices for him, as well as Lu Qian's team who are now diligently practicing their flying thunder cannon skills.
The previous technology of climbing the immortal boat has been updated for several generations now. The safety factor has been greatly increased. After attacking Xixia in the future, it can naturally be used to detect and destroy the enemy.
Moreover, Master Zhao Ji would often sit and play, as if he wanted to become an immortal one day by cultivating in heaven.
Gao Zhang was very upset about this. He tried to persuade him twice, but he always thought that it was not safe to go to heaven. What if he fell?
You could already see the fat fish flying around in the net, and at this moment, Yelu Yanxi, the Emperor of the Liao Dynasty, picked up a big hook connected with a rope and threw it into the fishing net.
At this moment, all the ministers, guests and friends came to the place where the banquet was held and took their seats.
Today Gao Zhang has led Wolong Fengxiao and Yao Pingzhong to come here to participate in the fish feast.
But at this moment, the onlookers who had been waiting with bated breath for this moment began to congratulate loudly.
Well, putting this matter aside, think about the Imperial City Department, who are working hard to collect information about Xixia.
At this moment, the leaders of the female straight tribes around him were also cheering loudly to congratulate the Emperor of Liao.
It’s not perfect at all. It seems that if you’re not ice fishing, you’re just not lucky. In the first two years of fish feasts, all we caught were catfish, sturgeons or fathead fish weighing dozens of kilograms.
After such a hook went down, the strongman on the side began to pay close attention to the water, and then slowly pulled the rope.
He was the only one who looked coldly at the Emperor of Liao who was walking proudly towards the crowd.
The waiter on the side quickly picked up a net bag and waded into the river. Soon, the hook was finally lifted.
"You're not talking nonsense. After so long, even if Emperor Liao catches hundreds of catties of fish, I'm afraid not even one person can get a mouthful of fish soup, okay..."
"It's been so long, this can be called fishing, it's obviously netting fish, okay..."
In addition, through the relationship with Xiao Fengxian over the years, the relationship between Xixia and Liao has changed from a sweet relationship at the beginning to the current hostile situation.
Today is the day when the first fish feast begins. At this moment, two boats are setting up nets, heading this way from bottom to top.
Taking this as a good omen, a banquet was held, and the leaders of the nearby tribes thousands of miles away were summoned to attend the banquet. Most of the Nvzhi tribe gathered here, so naturally they were also the main participants in this fish banquet.
The look in his eyes was like that of a hungry lone wolf looking at a fat prey.
In the past, it was all about ice fishing, but this year due to a massive flood, the Emperor of the Liao Kingdom did not arrive in Changchun Prefecture until April.
Not to mention fish, don't even try to catch a loach.
"You two, can you please pay attention to the impact?" Gao Zhang glared at this guy angrily. Even though he was surrounded by Liao people and could not understand the Central Plains Mandarin, what would he do if he was overheard by someone interested?
As soon as Gao Zhang finished speaking, he saw that Yelu Yanxi, who had been standing by and watching the powerful man pull the hook, had stepped forward.
At this moment, everyone was extremely quiet. After all, this was fishing, and the nearly ten thousand people watching were all chattering, singing and dancing.
This foolish king of the Liao Kingdom, except for hunting, playing and playing with women, completely put aside the country's political affairs, regardless of good or bad, this kind of people can actually become the king of a country.

Fortunately, except for the fish hooked by Emperor Liao, all the fish in that net were considered first fish.
As the dishes came one after another, Yelu Yanxi began to raise his glasses frequently, and all the ministers and leaders of the tribes also responded.
Cai Laoliu on the side was rubbing his belly at the moment, looking expectantly at Yelu Yanxi who was fishing by the river in the distance, while whispering.
But Master just doesn't believe in this evil, Gao Zhang can persuade him.
Gao Zhang tried his fingers carefully, but he really couldn't figure out which direction Xixia could survive.
As a result, there was only a two-foot-long, shiny silver fish hanging on top, and it soon fell into the net bag.
What's more, this is no one else, but the Emperor of Daliao, who is fishing. We can't let him just sit here and fish as a background while others are eating, drinking and having fun.
Therefore, if you want to have a fish feast, you have to let Yelu Yanxi catch the fish first.
It's a good thing that the emperor of the Liao Kingdom is a fool like you. Otherwise, we, the female straight tribes, might not have a chance to stand up and become the masters.

The fish feast was originally just a way for the northern nomads to replenish their food after spending the long winter and exercise their muscles at the same time.
Naturally, Yelu Yanxi was too embarrassed to shout again. After all, it was a little too small. It was a fish at least, but fortunately it was not a tortoise, a water snake or other non-fish creatures.
Tong Zhisheng nodded in agreement, glanced around, and whispered.
Generally speaking, in February or March, the Emperor of Liao would catch the first fish in the river in Changchun Prefecture.
Seeing the little fish tumbling around in the net bag, Wanyan Agu almost twisted the corner of his mouth.
After they were all scooped up, they were quickly slaughtered and cooked.
Coupled with the need to summon the leaders of various tribes, this delay has been delayed until now.
There is also the Duan Trading Co., Ltd. that has a hand in Xixia, and has been using what Xixia needs to tightly control the cotton planting industry of more than one million acres.
Yelu Yanxi's face darkened when she saw such a small fish catch.
Otherwise, this year should not be called the Fish Feast, but should be called the Turtle Feast or the Snake Feast.
Of course, Wang Fu, who was originally a traitor to the Song Dynasty, must be working hard to get into the upper echelons of Xixia.
As the cooked fish were served one after another, there was a lot of fun with big fish, meat and wine.
Even Gao Zhang enjoyed eating it with his mouth full of oil. This is definitely similar to the feeling of Northeastern stew in later generations, which is very oily.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Yelu Yanxi, whose face was red from drinking, announced that the tribal leaders would take turns to sing and dance at the banquet.
After hearing this order, Gao Zhang's eyes suddenly lit up and he glanced in that direction involuntarily, just in time to see Wanyan Aguda, who was still chatting and laughing with other straight female tribe leaders around him, his face darkened...
