"The bachelor's imagination is so unbridled..." Xiao Feng forced himself to calm down and said with a smile: "Is there anyone greater than His Highness King Zhao?"
"In this case, I can only trouble you to disarm yourself," Chen Ke said solemnly: "I guarantee your safety. If it turns out to be a false alarm later, I will apologize to His Highness!".
"No!" Xiao Feng refused without thinking, "How is this different from starting a war?"
"It's still different." Chen Ke sighed softly and said pitifully: "The hundreds of thousands of Liao troops were approaching, and the civil and military people in the city were angry and unanimously demanded that the post house be attacked to eliminate the troubles of their henchmen. If Xiao Daru has a clear conscience, he should listen
As I say, I will accept some injustice for the time being and save the lives of more than two thousand people."
"Does the bachelor know the consequences of doing this? Can the Southern Dynasty afford it?" Xiao Feng had been cautious when he entered the Song Dynasty, but finally he couldn't help but reveal Liao Jin's arrogant nature.
"Those things should be discussed later if we survive. Let's focus on the present first." Chen Ke sat back in his chair, picked up the tea cup and said, "We don't have much time. We will attack after one stick of incense."
"..." Beads of sweat broke out on Xiao Feng's forehead, and his fists as big as vinegar clenched and unclenched, and then he hissed after a long while: "Bachelor and great talent, you should know how to force me to do this."
Entering means forcing yourself!"
"What do you mean?" Chen Ke asked with a focused gaze.
"It's nothing..." Xiao Feng endured it again and again, and finally he endured it and said: "I can be a prisoner, but why can't I make Da Ru feel at ease?"
"Let His Royal Highness King Zhao come over too." Chen Ke said while sipping the fragrant tea.
"You..." Xiao Feng lowered his face and said, "I can't decide this!"
"Then go back and ask." Chen Ke said lightly: "There is still half a stick of incense..."
"Your incense burns too quickly!" Xiao Feng complained and ran away.
Chen Ke tapped his knees lightly, looked at Xiao Feng's back and thought about it. There must be a big problem with the Liao mission this time, but tonight was obviously not the time to break the casserole. So he decided not to push them too hard... Anyway, the more difficult it was, the more likely it would be.
Going deeper into the Song Dynasty, these Liao immigrants are like turtles in a urn. There is still half a month's journey from Xiongzhou to Bianjing. What secrets can't be discovered? Why rush at this moment.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Before the time for burning the incense, Xiao Feng and Yelu Yixin stood in front of Chen Ke.
This made Chen Ke even more curious, but he did not test it again, but smiled politely and said: "I heard that the two princes have not slept either. They are both suffering from insomnia late at night. How about drinking wine to the moon and having a chat?"
Yelu Yixin was most worried about being treated as a prisoner by Chen Ke. Now that he saw him giving face, he finally relaxed and said: "It is better to obey orders than to be respectful."
"please."
"please."
So we sat down at the table three times, served a few exquisite side dishes, and started having a drink.
Chen Ke toasted a glass of wine first, and Yelu Yixin couldn't wait to pick up the glass and said: "Scholar Chen, Xiao Wang assures you that we will never have any malicious intent on this trip, and we will never cause trouble. Please bear with us."
With the other hand, he handed a bag to Chen Ke and said with a smile: "Some local specialties for Mr. Ling to play with."
As soon as Chen Ke opened the bag, he was struck by the pearls. It was the size of a bag of longan, crystal clear, round and huge pearls! He couldn't help but call out softly: "Dongzhu?"
"The bachelor is indeed knowledgeable and knowledgeable." Yelu Yixin praised, but his heart felt like a knife. Each of these Jurchen tribute treasures is extremely precious. On the crown of the Emperor of Liao Dynasty, the Eastern Pearl was inlaid.
Although the Dongzhu in this bag are not as big as those on the head of Lord Liao, they are still worth tens of thousands of gold. This bag must be at least 100,000 gold!
Chen Ke knew the goods well, and he showed a greedy look in cooperation, but he pushed the bag back with his hand and said with a fake smile: "No reward for no merit, let alone such a generous gift!"
"I just want the bachelor to take care of me, and on the premise of not harming the Song Dynasty." Yelu Yi smiled hard and pushed back: "We just hope that we can complete this mission safely, just like countless times before. Then, if there is any bad behavior, our agreement will be void, how about that?"
"..." Chen Ke thought for a moment, raised his glass to touch him and said, "Okay!"
Seeing that he agreed, both Yelu Yixin and Xiao Feng breathed a sigh of relief. Sanru was eating wine and talking, his eyes glancing at the hourglass in the corner from time to time, feeling that tonight was so long!
An hour passed in the torment, and at around 4 o'clock in the morning, Mr. Lu walked in with an expression on his face that he had seen a ghost.
"Just say it directly. There is no need to hide it from the two princes." Chen Ke said slightly drunkenly.
"Alas," Lu Gong wrote: "The spies came to report that the Liao army had stopped at the border and would not move forward any further!"
"Explore again." Chen Ke ordered and said to the two Liao princes: "What kind of trick is this?"
"The bachelor also knows," Yelu Yixin said awkwardly: "My Majesty is just like this. When the mood strikes, he can ride alone into the dense forest and tie up tigers with one hand. Patrolling the border in the middle of the night is not unusual..."
"What a man like the wind..." Chen Ke chuckled and said, "Come and drink a thousand cups for your majesty's uninhibitedness!"
"Thousands!" Yelu Yixin said bitterly, with a "going" sound.
"Thousands!" Xiao Feng said in a low tone.
An hour later, when the sun was shining brightly, Lu Gongzhu reported again: "Liao Jin has withdrawn its troops..." Because the prediction failed, Deputy Envoy Da Liu seemed to be very low-key.
"It seems it was a false alarm," Chen Ke ignored him and clasped his fists at the two drunk Liao people: "I'm really sorry, please go back and rest, Your Majesty."
"It's easy to talk about." Yelu Yixin was not at all angry about being wronged and tortured all night. Instead, he said as if he had been granted amnesty, "Then let's go back and rest."
"I'll see the prince off." Chen Ke stood up and said.
"Stay, stay." Yelu Yixin and Xiao Feng supported each other and said goodbye to Chen Ke warmly. No one could tell that they had just spent a tense night... Back in the main room of the East Crossing Courtyard, the two of them let go of each other in unison, obviously They're all pretending to be drunk.
"What happened last night!" Yelu Yixin said with a yin face: "Who can mobilize the Pishi Army!"
"Who else besides the Emperor's uncle..." Xiao Feng, a straightforward man, sneered: "The effect is also immediate. If Chen Ke hadn't been here, we would have been chopped into pieces by Song Ru last night!"
"This old man is forgetful!" Yelu Yixin gritted his teeth and said: "Everyone knows that he has a treacherous heart, but it's a pity that only His Majesty doesn't know about it, and yet he is regarded as a good one and entrusted with important tasks!"
"What happened last night should have made him realize the danger of leaving the country casually," Xiao Feng sighed and said, "Let's try to persuade him again."
"Yeah." Yelu Yixin nodded, but he didn't have much hope, otherwise he wouldn't have bribed Chen Ke with a lot of money.
After entering, they passed through the layers of guards and came to the innermost courtyard. They saw a bearded man in guard uniform, punching fiercely there.
Liang Rui stood aside holding his breath, as if he didn't dare to disturb the guard. After he finished his work, Liang Rui was discovered. He took the towel from a maid with gold powder on his face, wiped his sweat and said with a smile: "You guys
What's wrong with you two? They are as jealous as rabbits."
The two were so angry that they couldn't help but secretly cursed, "You slept peacefully, but you didn't know that our hearts were broken and we were scared out of our wits, but on our faces we were extremely respectful and said: "Your Majesty, something happened last night."
The bearded man frowned when he heard this and said, "Didn't I ask you to call me for a stab check? Why did you forget it again?"
"That's not the point..." Xiao Feng said with a black line on his face: "Last night, the Pishi Army suddenly went south, all the way to the border!"
"Then what?" Bearded Beard asked nervously.
"Then he went back." Yelu Yixin whispered.
"We're back..." Bearded Beard immediately became less nervous, "That's good."
"Your Majesty..." The two of them almost went crazy and said, "How can you be so careless!"
"Ask me to investigate." The bearded man said sternly: "Actually, I have authorized the Emperor Taishu to mobilize the Pishi Army in emergencies."
"Your Majesty...how can you be so rash?" Yelu Yixin said depressedly.
"Don't worry, the Emperor's uncle is loyal, just like you," the bearded man said with a smile, "By the way, I want to visit Xiongzhou City today, please make arrangements..."
"No!" They both said in unison with dark faces: "Don't even want to go anywhere!" Thinking that they originally wanted to persuade him to turn back, but now there is no room for him to speak, they felt frustrated in their hearts.
"Do you dare to disobey me?" the bearded man said angrily.
"Cha Qi," the maid on the side said, "You are a guard now, and you must listen to the prince." Although her face was covered with thick gold powder, just hearing the voice made her realize that this must be a person.
Extremely beautiful.
"Uh..." Bearded Beard saw that he was trapped in a cocoon, and then he waved his hands angrily and said: "Everyone, get out!"
"Cha Ci." Xiao Feng looked at Yelu Yixin and said boldly: "You can't talk like this, otherwise your secret will be exposed."
"You..." The bearded man thought angrily for a while, then Jing clasped his fists and said, "You are right, you two princes, but I was wrong."
"Kill the humble minister." Yelu Yixin said quickly, but Xiao Feng grabbed him and gave him a salute with a bearded man: "A big tree blends into the forest and attracts no attention at all. For the safety of the investigation, from now on.
From now on, we will treat him as an ordinary guard."
"Yes, that's it." The bearded man nodded, seeming to be very interested in this game.
"Okay then." Yelu Yixin nodded, cupped his fists towards the maid, and was about to speak. The maid blessed him and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, my name is Xianyun."
"Uh." Hearing that she called herself Nunu, Yelu Yixin's body became half stiff. Fortunately, he was a good disguiser, so he didn't worry about being spotted. He nodded and said, "Then let's go back."
"Send off to the prince..." The man and the woman were pretending, which made Yelu Yi feel uncomfortable and unable to hide, so he had no choice but to run away.
