Based on the current war in the north, it is reasonable for Song Huizong not to meet the Goryeo envoys alone. Goryeo and the Song Dynasty are separated by hundreds of thousands of miles, and they can only travel by water. It can be said that they cannot fight together.
go.
But being unable to help does not mean rejection. Li Qi always felt that this had nothing to do with him, and there seemed to be some opportunities hidden in it, but he couldn't tell what they were specifically.
Seeing Li Qi's silence, Pu Zhiqian hurriedly said: "Officer Yan, if you can help me, I will repay you generously in the future."
Help you? Haha, just go ahead and dream. It is a good idea to use it. The key is how to use it? Li Qi smiled slightly and said: "This is not a small favor."
Pu Zhiqian said: "Otherwise, we would not come to ask for official envoys."
Li Qi shook his head and said: "Actually, you shouldn't come to beg me. I do have a good candidate to recommend to you."
Park Zhiqian's eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "Who?"
"If the prime minister of the dynasty, Mr. Wang Xiang, is willing to help you, he will succeed nine times out of ten."
After hearing this, Pu Zhiqian's face was full of disappointment and he smiled bitterly and said: "To be honest, I had already visited the Prime Minister when I first arrived in the capital, but the Prime Minister declined with some excuse."
This is true. Now that Wang Zhichen is focused on Yan Yun, he has no time to pay attention to you. It is estimated that if he knows that you have conflicts with Jin Guo, he will never pay attention to you again in this life. Li Qi said again: "Then Li Bangyan,
Where is Mr. Li?"
Park Zhiqian shook his head.
"Gao Qiu, where is Captain Gao?"
Park Zhiqian still shook his head.
Let me think about it, who else will go among the six thieves? Li Qi thought for a while and then said: "Oh, by the way, there is also Liang Shicheng and Liang Taiwei?"
Pu Zhiqian smiled bitterly and said: "Shi Guanyan, we have visited all the places you mentioned, but we found nothing."
Damn it. It turns out that you just retreated to the next best thing and came to me for help after hitting a wall everywhere. Unfortunately, I was just complacent just now and ran to me because I dared to be unwanted by others. Fortunately, there was no loss.
Li Qiwei pondered for a moment and said: "Shang He, it's not that I don't want to help you. It's just that I think you came at the wrong time."
Pu Zhiqian said doubtfully: "I hope that the official Yan Envoy will not hesitate to teach me."
"I don't dare to give you advice." Li Qi said seriously: "Have you ever thought about why Wang Xiang and others are unwilling to help you?"
Pu Zhiqian shook his head and said: "We are also puzzled by this."
Since you pretend not to know, let me tell you for you. Li Qi said with a smile: "Now the Song Dynasty is in alliance with the Jin Kingdom to attack the Liao Dynasty, and it has reached the last moment. The emperor is bent on regaining Yanyun. It can be said that he has no distractions, and I
The whole country of the Song Dynasty also worked together, hoping to regain the country. To put it bluntly, do you think the emperor will be distracted by you at this time? Let me tell you. Fortunately, the emperor did not see you. If he did, I am afraid he would only
Worse."
Pu Zhiqian nodded slightly and said: "Guan Yanzhi's words make sense. But why do you say that seeing him is worse than not seeing him?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "It's very simple. If the emperor meets you, he will definitely reject you. By then, there will be no room for maneuver. If we don't meet, there is at least hope of talking."
Pu Zhiqian said depressedly: "Although your words are reasonable, we can't afford to wait."
Li Qi nodded and said: "That's true. To tell you the truth, I am also from the north. Those golden soldiers are like wild beasts. They kill people without blinking an eye. They pounce on women when they see them. They are extremely cruel and brave.
If you are good at fighting, one can fight against a hundred. Wherever you go, not even a blade of grass will grow, which is extremely terrifying."
The more Pu Zhiqian listened, the more frightened he became, and he said anxiously: "What should I do?"
A cunning look flashed in Li Qi's eyes, and he changed the topic and said: "But I don't think you need to be so anxious."
Pu Zhiqian said hurriedly: "How do you say this?"
Li Qi coughed slightly and said: "Now the Jin Kingdom is also eager to destroy the Liao Dynasty and has no time to do anything else, so you don't have to worry at all at this time. Taking a step back, even if the Jin Kingdom destroys the Liao Dynasty one day,
The situation will be different at that time, and the Emperor may take some time to deal with other matters. Of course, I am just talking nonsense, but it is really difficult for me to fulfill your request, and I am really sorry."
What Li Qi said was ambiguous and quite irresponsible. Pu Zhiqian was also puzzled when he heard it, and he thought to himself, maybe he meant to let me wait for Song and Jin to destroy Liao before coming to discuss it. Hmm.
, What he said makes sense. Things have not reached the point of irreversibility. Moreover, no one among the ministers, not to mention the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, is willing to meet us. It seems that this is the only way. He said with a smile:
"No, no, Envoy Guan Yan really helped me a lot. We are really grateful. I hope Envoy Guan Yan can say a few good words for us in front of the emperor of your country. I will thank you very much someday.
.”
There's no need to wait for another day, just now. It's never too early for me to accept a gift. Li Qi smiled and said against his will: "Mr. Pu He is out of town. You and I hit it off right away, so it doesn't matter if you help me a little."
Pu Zhiqian was overjoyed and said: "Yes, yes, I said the wrong thing. I will punish myself with three cups of wine. I will punish myself with three cups of wine."
The few people talked about some insignificant things again, and Li Qi excused himself and left.
After Li Qi went out, Pu Zhiqian immediately winked at the guard. The guard went out for a while, then came back in and shook his head at Pu Zhiqian.
Pei Wenqing said in Korean language: "Sir, do you think this person can be trusted?"
Pu Zhiqian sighed and said: "I don't know either. This person is very treacherous. He accepted the gifts simply, but he said some ambiguous words. However, there was one sentence he said that was not wrong. We are here before
It came at the wrong time and hit a wall everywhere.”
"Then do we still need to win over him?"
"Of course, you have all seen it just now. This man loves money as much as his life, and is greedy for small profits. Moreover, he is a famous person before the Emperor of Song Dynasty. There is no harm in us being friendly with him. You will prepare a generous gift for him later.
Go to his house."
"yes."
.
The next morning.
Li Qi Wuxia went to think about Gao Li's problem and immediately started his New Year's greeting trip. Normally, he should go to Bai Mansion first, but since his relationship with Bai Qiannuo has not been made public yet, in order to avoid unnecessary
Trouble, he chose Taishi's Mansion first, but unfortunately, Cai Jing's schedule tomorrow is full and there is no time to entertain him. There is no other way, he finally chose to go to Taiwei's Mansion first.
Ma Qiao, who was waiting outside, saw Li Qi walking out with a red box and said in surprise: "Deputy Commander, are you going to carry this little thing to the Taiwei's Mansion?"
Li Qile said cheerfully: "That's enough, that's enough. I can't lift any more." He then got on the carriage.
When he saw the gifts Xiaoyu had prepared for him yesterday, he couldn't lift them even if he used Ma Qiao's fifth limb. What made Li Qi even more angry was that Xiaoyu even put in the Korean ginseng he had stolen yesterday.
This was simply a waste of natural resources, and it was expensive and vulgar. It was unintentional and not like his style, so he might as well prepare it himself.
Riding a carriage, we arrived at Taiwei's Mansion. Since someone had already sent a notification yesterday, Gao Qiu did not go out.
Under the guidance of the court official, Li Qi came to the back hall. He saw Gao Qiu sitting in the front seat wearing a red robe, and that fellow Gao Yanei was also there, sitting on the right, eating preserves, looking like he was carefree.
"Your Majesty, Li Qi, pays homage to the Taiwei."
"No courtesy, no courtesy, sit down."
Gao Qiu smiled slightly, moved his hand to the left and said with a smile.
When Gao Yameni saw that Li Qi had only brought a box of gifts, he became curious and jumped in front of the maidservant. He jumped next to Li Qi and said, "Li Qi, what are you carrying in your hand?"
While speaking, he had already snatched the box from Li Qi's hand.
Gao Qiu said in a deep voice: "Kang'er, please don't be rude."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Li Qi said cheerfully: "This is a new cake made by Xiaguan recently. I brought it to the Taiwei to try."
"You are interested." Gao Qiu smiled slightly and said, "On the New Year's Day morning party, your Qianshan Duxue was so delicious. I still remember it."
"It's a great reward, Lieutenant."
Suddenly, Gao Yanei screamed, "Mahjong."
Gao Qiu was startled, and then said angrily: "Kang'er, you are getting more and more lawless."
Gao Yanei pursed his lips in grievance and said: "Dad, you can't blame me. It's all Li Qi's fault. Why did you say it was a cake? It turned out to be just a pair of mahjong." As he spoke, he turned the open box in his hand towards Gao Qiu.
, I saw that there were mahjong pieces about one to three centimeters long inside, but the appearance of this mahjong was smooth, crystal clear, and very beautiful.
When Gao Qiu saw it, he was stunned for a moment, with doubts flashing in his eyes.
Li Qi rolled his eyes and said, "Yanei, have you ever seen such beautiful mahjong?"
"That's not true. Are you made of jade? Wow! When did you become so generous?" Gao Yanei was shocked when he said this.
Li Qi had the urge to slap this idiot, so he suppressed the anger in his heart and explained: "Yanei, you see clearly, this is made of butter, and the red dots and green dots on it are made of syrup.
The green layer below is made of jelly. This is my latest Mahjong cake."
“Mahjong cake!”
Brother Qiu and his son said in unison.
Gao Yanei gently pressed the middle tube with his hand and exclaimed: "It's really cream. Li Qi, your cake is really interesting." He put his index finger into his mouth to add some surprise.
Said: "It's so delicious."
He took out a "second tube" without any politeness and put it into his mouth. The delicate cream, the tender jelly, and the sweet syrup were so soft and sweet that he closed his eyes with so much pleasure.
Then he put the box in front of Gao Qiu and said vaguely: "Dad, please try it quickly. This cake is really delicious."
Gao Qiu also thought the cake was novel and very cute, so he took out one and tasted it, and immediately said: "Not bad, not bad, Li Qi, your mahjong cake is really good, and the idea of making the cake into mahjong is also worth it."
Praise."
Li Qi smiled and said: "It's fine if the Lieutenant likes to eat." But he thought in his heart, hmph. Isn't it just the Lieutenant? I can treat you with a piece of cake. It seems that I will make a few more when I go back and send them to my family.
A pair is practical, saves money, and is more convenient, hahaha.
After Gao Qiu finished eating the small piece of cake in his hand, he saw Gao Yanei sitting on the chair holding the box and eating it. It looked very unsightly. He sighed softly and said, "Kang'er, take this cake down and give it to your daughters-in-law to try."
,Daddy has something to discuss with Li Qi."
Gao Yanei, this heartless guy, stood up and said, "Oh, Li Qi, you have to go play with me later."
"Definitely, definitely." Li Qi smiled and nodded, feeling envious that his daughter-in-law could add the word "we" after it.
After Gao Yanei left, Gao Qiu took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Li Qi, I heard that a group of special guests came to Zuixianju yesterday?"
Li Qi was stunned for a moment and then said: "Yes, he is the envoy of Goryeo."
"So, you have met them."
Why did he ask this? Li Qi was very confused and nodded: "I've seen it before."
Gao Qiu smiled and said, "Then you must have received a lot of benefits, right?"
Since he took the initiative to bring up this matter, he must know some inside information. If I hide it from him, it might be counterproductive. Li Qi quickly weighed it and said truthfully: "I accepted the gift, but I didn't agree to the matter."
