After staying in Xiongzhou for one day, Li Qi and others set off on the second day.
Tong Guan already knew what he wanted to know, and he hoped that Li Qi and the others would leave early and settle the matter soon.
From the expression on Tong Guan's face, Li Qi knew that Zhao Liangsi must have told Tong Guan the lowest price for their negotiation last night, but this was nothing surprising to him. What he was most curious about was Zhao Liangsi's price yesterday.
Did you stay out all night?
Outside the city of Xiongzhou, Tong Guan pulled Li Qi aside and said, "Li Qi, you and I hit it off right away. When you return in triumph someday, we will have another three hundred drinks in Xiongzhou."
Drink your sister, drinking too much tea will make you feel uncomfortable. Li Qi cursed secretly in his heart, but he said cheerfully: "Definitely, definitely, I hope I can borrow the Taiwei's good words to make this trip a success.
"
Tong Guan chuckled and said, "With your help, Tong believes that we will be able to negotiate a deal this time."
Ri. Aren't you trying to put pressure on me by changing your tactics? Li Qi chuckled and said, "It's a compliment, Lieutenant Commander, it's a reward."
Tong Guan patted his shoulder very kindly and said with a smile: "Well, I won't delay your journey. I hope you have a safe journey."
"Thank you. Farewell."

After one day of traveling, Li Qi and the others finally entered the Yanyun territory. When they set foot on this land, everyone was filled with emotions. Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, they had always wanted to regain this homeland. Taizu and Taizong spent their entire lives but failed.
It could not be completed, and all the emperors of the Song Dynasty also took this as their own responsibility, but they all achieved little. Although the Liao Kingdom is now destroyed, this land still has no connection with the Song Dynasty. This is really God's will.
Just entering the border controlled by the Kingdom of Jin, I saw a large group of girls with big pigtails standing on the opposite side from a distance. Oh no, they should be a group of big men.
After listening to Zhao Kai's words, Li Qi realized that this group of people were officials who specially welcomed foreign envoys, and they were called accompanying envoys.
It's a coincidence that the leader of the escort is also Li Qi's business partner, none other than He Shi Liebohe.
Although the Jin Kingdom was founded not long ago, it also began to imitate the practices of the Song and Liao Dynasties. The welcoming ceremony was also quite complicated, and it took half an hour to complete.
After the ceremony, Heshi Liebohe first bowed to Zhao Kai and Zhao Liangsi. His expression was still very arrogant, but he did have the capital to be arrogant, especially in front of the people of Song Dynasty. Then he laughed and said to Li Qi
: "Envoy Guan Yan, I didn't expect us to meet so soon." (Translation omitted here.)
You are a bitch, you are more arrogant in your own territory. Li Qi cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Old friend, you are fine."
The two of them did not say much, and after exchanging a few pleasantries, Heshi Liebohe led the envoys of the Song Dynasty towards Yanjing.
Since He Shi Liebo He and others were riding horses, Zhao Kai thought that he could not let them look down on him, so he also rode forward. He was quite confident in his riding skills. But this made Li Qi suffer.
The prince had already ridden a horse, so naturally he and Zhao Liangsi had to follow suit.
Fortunately, he had practiced a lot during the journey, and now he no longer needed to be held by anyone. He could even trot for a while, but that was all.
Ever since we entered Yanyun territory, the atmosphere was completely different from that of Xiongzhou. It was heavily guarded. From time to time, we could see a group of sentinels passing by. All of them had superb riding skills. Except for the pervert Ma Qiao, he didn't take it seriously. The rest of them were
He was surprised, especially Zhao Kai, who still had no sense of pride in his heart. He secretly thought, this Jin army is really strong in men and horses, and cannot be compared with our Song army.
Heshi Liebohe seemed to have something to say to Li Qi, and seeing Li Qi's poor riding skills, he always fell behind, so he had to slow down and keep pace with him, and hehe said: "Guan Yanshi, I see you seem to have just
Have you learned to ride a horse recently?"
Li Qi was not shy and sighed: "Mr. He Shilie, you should know how busy I am usually. I have to take care of business and handle official duties, but I don't even have time to travel, so I can only
Choose a carriage. Alas, I have become unfamiliar with it for a long time."
"That's it. Haha, those who can do more work."
Heshi Liebohe nodded half-knowingly.
"Where, where."
Suddenly I heard a puff from the side.
Li Qi turned around and saw Ma Qiao looking at him with a red face. He said angrily: "Ma Qiao, do you have any objections?"
Ma Qiao shook his head vigorously and said, "No."
Heshi Liebohe didn't pay that much attention and said, "By the way, did you receive the message I asked someone to send last time?"
Li Qi was stunned, shook his head and said: "No. I wonder when you sent it?"
Heshi Liebohe was also stunned for a moment and said: "That's it this time."
Li Qi apologized: "I'm really sorry. I was not in the capital at that time. I wonder what Mr. He Shilie has to say?"
"I don't dare to accept the order, I don't dare to accept it." Heshi Liebohe shook his head, and then smiled and said: "I didn't know that you would come. If I had known so, I wouldn't have wasted this time. I originally wanted to
I'm telling you, my side is ready, but since this area is relatively chaotic, I hope you can consider transporting Tian Xia Wushuang to Shangjing by water."
"By water?"
Li Qi raised his brows and seemed to have thought of something, but he couldn't explain the details. He said: "There is no problem in taking the water route, but I'm not very clear about the route."
Heshi Liebohe said with a hint of surprise: "You don't even know this. The previous sales and transactions between our two countries have always been by sea. You haven't heard of others, right? You can just go back to Beijing and ask.
.Oh, when you go back, I will give you another map and tell you which pier to send it to."
Ri. I really don’t know about this. Li Qi chuckled, “That’s really troublesome for you.”
"Where, where. Let's talk about it in detail then." He Shilie laughed loudly and said: "To be honest, after I returned to China that time, I reported your words to His Majesty, and His Majesty also recognized it very much.
Your opinion."
"Really?" Li Qi said casually, "The emperor of your country is truly a wise king through the ages."
"Of course."
Day. I'm just talking casually, but you still take it seriously. Li Qi is very worried about He Shi Liebohe's level of education.
.
In less than two days, the Song Dynasty delegation arrived at a small county outside Yanjing City. However, at this time, this small county had just experienced the baptism of war, and there were ruins, ruins and rubble everywhere.
Everywhere you can see some Jin soldiers tying several or even a dozen men and pigs together with a hemp rope as thick as a baby's wrist, mounting horses and dragging them away, and whipping them with whips from time to time. It is true that humans and pigs are treated equally.
The women were put in prison cars and transported to the city of Yanjing. Everyone had endless despair in their eyes. What was even more chilling was that most of these people were Han Chinese. When they saw the Song Dynasty envoys, they shouted for help in Chinese.
.
The Song Dynasty envoys all lowered their heads and felt that their faces were dull.
When those Han people saw that the Song Dynasty envoys turned a blind eye to them, their eyes were full of anger and sorrow.
When Zhao Kai saw this scene, he felt a heartbreaking pain in his heart, and the veins on the back of his hand were exposed. The riding crop made a rattling sound when he held it tightly. This was the first time for him, who was used to living in a pampered life, to see such a cruel reality. For a moment,
Simply unacceptable.
I'm afraid this is just the tip of the iceberg. Li Qi squinted his eyes, smiled half-heartedly at He Shilie and said: "Mr. He Shilie, the matter of Yanyun's handover is still under negotiation, so you just put the human and animal
It seems against the rules to transport them all away."
Heshi Liebohe chuckled and said, "This matter is not my business. It's useless for you to tell me."
After Zhao Kai heard this, his brows furrowed and he glared at He Shilie Bohe with undisguised anger.
Heshi Liebohe looked at Zhao Kai with a smile on his face, without the slightest apology, as if to say, so what if it's against the rules. What can you do to me?
This made Zhao Kai very angry, but he could only get sulky and choose to escape. He couldn't help but speed up. He hoped to leave here as soon as possible.
Just as everyone was preparing to enter the city, a small group of people suddenly rushed towards this direction.
The leader whispered a few words in He Shi Liebohe's ear. The latter looked surprised at first. Then he nodded slightly, then turned to Zhao Kai and others and said: "Dear guests, I'm really not sorry. Now
Something happened in the city, so I would like to ask you to stay at the inn outside the city for a few days."
I have to say that this distinguished guest's shout is indeed a bit ironic.
This is really a poor excuse. After Zhao Kai and others heard this, they were all very angry. Now that the entire Yanyun has fallen into the hands of your Jin country, and Aguda is in the city, how could something happen? It was clearly done deliberately.
Of.
Zhao Liangsi stood up quickly to smooth things over and said, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."
"Please forgive me, please forgive me."
There was no other way, so the team turned around again. After walking for about an hour, Heshi Liebohe took them to a medium-sized post house. A total of 500 people came from the Song Dynasty envoy. This post house could only accommodate a few people.
There are about a hundred people left, in other words, there are still 400 people who have to set up tents and live outside.
People under the eaves have to bow their heads.
Zhao Kai, Li Qi, and Zhao Liangsi could only squeeze into a small courtyard, so that more people could live in it.
Heshi Liebohe didn't have any explanation for this. After settling them down, he went back to resume his duties.
Li Qi tidied up the house and walked out of the house, ready to talk to Zhao Kai. Unexpectedly, when he walked to the door, he heard a noise coming from inside. It was initially estimated that at least three cups had been smashed to pieces.
Your Highness, this is just the beginning, how can you lose your composure? He sighed and walked towards the front yard again. Only halfway there, he heard a banging sound coming from the front, as if it was...
Someone was fighting, so I quickly picked up the pace.
When they came to the front yard, they saw Yue Fei and Ma Qiao, shirtless, sparring. It was more of a catharsis than a sparring. Neither of them used too many fancy moves. They punched hard and seemed to treat each other as if they were the same.
golden man.
One of them had seen the most unjust thing, and the other was dedicated to serving the country. The scene just now hurt their hearts.
In fact, not only the two of them, but the entire post house was in a very depressing atmosphere.
Li Qi did not stop them. He sat on the steps, holding his chin, and looked at them thoughtfully.
After a while, I suddenly heard a sigh from behind, "It seems that this golden man wants to take revenge on us."
Li Qi turned around and saw that it was Zhao Liangsi. He was shocked and asked, "What did Doctor Zhao say?"
Zhao Liangsi shook his head and said: "Actually, there are more than one posthouses near Yanjing. The largest one can accommodate five hundred people, but they placed us in such a small posthouse. Moreover, I have never been treated like this before.
Waiting for treatment, it seems that what you said last time completely angered them."
Li Qi said in fear: "No way, I didn't expect this Jin man to be so narrow-minded, then they wouldn't kill me." After saying this, he made a gesture of wiping his neck.
Zhao Liangsi rolled his eyes and said: "The two countries are at war, but they still don't kill the envoys. What's more, we are invited to be envoys to their Kingdom of Jin, so you can rest assured."
Li Qi snorted: "It's been like this, how can I rest assured? I really don't know whether the emperor is right or wrong in sending me this time."
Zhao Liangsi sighed and said: "Li Qi, you have to pay attention to your wording in this negotiation. It is better to say as little as possible. After all, this is not our territory."
Li Qi curled his lips and said: "I won't stop talking. I won't even open my mouth. If I lose my face, I can get it back someday. If I lose my life, there will be no chance to come back again.
"
Zhao Liangsi rolled his eyes at him and said, "They will definitely make trouble when you come here this time around what you said last time. What if you don't say anything?"
Li Qi said sarcastically: "It depends on your mood."
At this moment, a large group of people suddenly came in outside.
"Why are they here?" Zhao Liangsi asked in surprise.
Li Qi wondered: "Who are they?"
Zhao Liangsi whispered: "The two leaders are the second prince Wanyan Zongwang and the fourth prince Wanyan Zongbi."
Wanyan Zongbi? Isn’t it the Golden Wu Technique?
Li Qi's face tightened and he couldn't help but glance at Xiang Yue Fei. I'll go. Unexpectedly, these enemies from the past life met in advance. (To be continued...)
