5days ago traverse Novels 2
The envoy of the King and the envoy of the Liao Kingdom arrived!

Swish!A young and strong general drew his sword and raised his arms. Three neatly-equipped soldiers raised their cherry guns together, and his military appearance was very clean.

Wang Pu walked side by side with Xiao Siwen in front, followed by Yang Gun, Lu Duoxun and others.The group walked to the door and heard the sound of Xu Jun's military music playing.

The group of people crossed the phalanx and saw a large group of iron cavalry wearing strong and sharp legs protecting a carriage and waiting in the middle of the street.

The Imperial Army General Du Chenggui flipped off the horse's back and said with his fists: Du Chenggui, the commander of the inner palace, escorted the envoy of the Liao Kingdom back to his country under the order.

Wang Pu said: General Du must not be careless.

Get order!Du Chenggui said.

A Xu Junwu opened the wooden door on the side of the carriage and said: Ask the envoys and deputy envoys of the Liao Kingdom to get on the carriage.

Xiao Siwen didn't say a word and got on the carriage with his head held high.Not long after, I heard a shout outside: Let’s set off!

Before this, there were added garrisons inside and outside the hall, and countless layers of guards were guarding, and the entire Chengzhou City was even more defensive as an iron barrel because Emperor Xu was in Chengzhou.

Now Xiao Siwen picks up a corner of the carriage, and the carriage is surrounded by iron cavalry.

Xiao Siwen didn't feel that he had any chance to make trouble in Xu State. The only thing he could do was follow the arrangements of the officials of Xu State, and in fact he did.

After the troops crossed the Yellow River floating bridge, Xiao Siwen watched the direction of the sun and the route of his journey, and believed that the horse team would first pass through the Hebei and western Liaoning corridors and enter the Great Liao border from the western Liaoning area.

I stayed in the inn along the way when it was dark.Almost all the main roads in Xu State are connected by post roads and post houses. It is said that this is an important bridge to ensure the imperial court's control of the entire country.

One night, everyone stayed in the inn, and another deputy envoy went to the toilet, leaving only Xiao Siwen and Yang Gun in the guest room.

Xiao Siwen asked in a low voice: General Yang went to Japan from Goryeo last time, and then ran away alone from the Ishimi battlefield, and found a way to return to the Great Liao.I haven't asked General Yang how he did it.

Yang Gun was stunned and advised in a deep voice: Mr. Xiao is not that step yet.Xu Guo used actors to humiliate and accused Mr. Xiao, which could not be a credential for the nobles of the tribes to accuse Mr. Xiao in the court... The officials originally thought that Mr. Xiao must have a solution.

Xiao Siwen nodded seriously and said: I do have some conspiracy, but it is not a bad thing to think about the worst plan for more people.Now the only person I can believe in is General Yang.

Yang Gun sighed, with an unbearable look on his face. It was like a life of death, life was worse than death... But it was okay for the officials to be in charge. No matter how difficult it was, they always thought about it. It was the hard days that were only temporary. As long as they returned to the Liao Dynasty, they could escape from the dire straits...

When Xiao Siwen heard this, the muscles on his cheeks twitched slightly, but hesitated without hesitation that General Yang had the opportunity to talk more about his experience.

...At the way, he rested at the inn, and when the other deputy envoy went to the toilet and took a bath, Xiao Siwen asked Yang Gun about his experience and route of escape.

Xu's military general Du Chenggui brought a group of Liao people to Daling River, and Liao people were already there to welcome him.Du Chenggui successfully handed over the envoys of the Liao Kingdom and then returned.

Only then did Yang Gun and others learn that the royal army had easily quelled the rebellion of King Song and King Yue and returned to Shangjing.Now everyone's destination is Shangjing.

Everyone rode back to Shangjing and arrived at the familiar capital within a few days.

The breath of Shangjing was very strange. For a moment, no one paid attention to Yang Gun. The palace seemed to be busy dealing with the rebellion... the rebellion of Shangjing and the rebellion of the rebellion of the young master.

Yang Gun found a special tent in the north city in the evening of that day: Xiao Abudi.

Abudi is Xiao Siwen's confidant. When he was planning a matter with Xiao Siwen, Yang Gun knew him, but his relationship was not very close.So Abudi was a little surprised by Yang Gun's visit tonight.

Ka!As the sky brightens, a thunder sounds from the rain. Summer is the season with the most rainfall on the grassland.

Yang Gun took off the straw hat from his head and bent over and walked into a tent.

The sound of rain hitting the tent was very close, and there was a rustling sound around it.

The Yang Mansion Affairs.Abudi looked at Yang Gun in confusion.

Yang Gun bowed with his hands pressed his chest without making a sound.

After a while, Yang Gun straightened his waist and took two steps forward, and said in a deep voice: I came today to tell General Abudi that Gao Xun and others were plotting to assassinate Mr. Xiao.

Ah?Abudi's eyes were a little bigger, and he was a little confused when he stood there.

Yang Gun said: Have you heard of Mr. Xiao being humiliated in Xu State?

Abudi nodded stiffly, and then pondered: After the assassination of the late emperor (Yelu Jing), Gao Xun and others echoed Xiao inside and outside, and they were their own people. At this time...

Yang Gun sneered: It is because he was once a man from Duke Xiao that he can't wait now.

Why?Abudi blurted out.

Yang Gun said: It’s good to make a clear relationship with Mr. Xiao!Mr. Xiao’s current situation is no different from that of a traitor, and killing him at this time is almost risky.Mr. Xiao himself was unable to protect himself and could not fight back, and no one in the court stood up for a traitor.

Yang Gun suddenly reached out and patted Abudi's wet shoulders, causing Abudi to tremble inattentively.

Yang Gun approached his ear again and whispered, "Mr. Xiao fell down, what will happen to his man?"Gao Xun's move is the only way out, so he is very anxious.General Abudi thinks about it again.

After saying that, Yang Gun turned around and wanted to leave.Abudi said in a deep voice: Why did General Yang tell me this?

Yang Gun turned around and said: General Abudi is probably the only person around Mr. Xiao who can trust him, and Mr. Xiao is still in the dark... I can only say that.

...It was raining heavily at night.Xiao Siwen's second daughter rushed to Xiao's house in the rain.

Seeing that his daughter was soaked all over, Xiao Siwen hurriedly said: Why are you still going out so late? Go and change your clothes.

Xiao was unwilling and couldn't wait to cry and cry. Xiyin (her husband) was encouraged and deceived and did something wrong, especially Taizong's son, King Yue (photo taken by Yelu Bi). Because he was unable to protect himself and his strength was not enough, he slandered Xiyin and insisted on pulling his husband into the water...

When Xiao Siwen heard this, he was very upset and said impatiently: Just rebellion, but he was defeated!What else can I do to be a father now?

My daughter, Lihua, begged in the rain: Now the great sweat listens to Yelu Xizhen's everything.My father had a close relationship with Yelu Xizhen and asked his father to ask Yelu Xizhen for the sake of the royal family, so he let the Khan open his mouth.

Xiao Siwen almost vomited blood when he heard this.

At this time, I saw my daughter kneeling on the ground again, looking very sad and sad: If the father does not agree, the daughter will kneel to death here!

Xiao Siwen's eyebrows were almost frowning, but when he heard Yelu Xizhen, his eyebrows gradually stretched out a little, and he was pacing back and forth in the hall in a daze.

For your father, I promise you to see Yelu Xizhen.Xiao Siwen suddenly said happily.

real?The daughter immediately wiped her tears.

Xiao Siwen said anxiously: I will go tonight for my father.

Xiao clapped up from the ground and followed Xiao Siwen and chased him out.Xiao Siwen asked someone to prepare a carriage, but couldn't stop her daughter, so she had to go out in the same car.

They came to Yelu Xizhen's mansion in the rain in the carriage. Xiao Siwen said: You are soaked all over. How can you behave like this? Waiting here. Seeing your father go to Yelu Xizhen with your own eyes, what else is there to worry about?

Xiao said: Father must convince him.

Xiao Siwen then asked his servant to come forward and knock on the door. As the rain sounded, an answer to be reported came from the door.

After waiting for a long time, the corner door opened and the person inside said: Please invite Mr. Xiao.

Xiao Siwen and his daughter both showed some relief.

Xiao Siwen entered the door alone and was taken to a living room by the slave in the mansion, and saw Yelu Xizhen sitting inside and waiting.

Now Yelu Xizhen has no etiquette to come out to welcome him, but he is willing to see Xiao Siwen, which is very considerate and remembers the old friendship.

well!Mr. Xiao... Yelu Xizhen sighed and shook his head continuously.

Xiao Siwen stepped forward and bowed, saying in a deep voice: Xu Guo is just for revenge!Nothing to say and sincerity.

Yelu Xizhen continued to shake his head and said: Mr. Xiao is half right. Blacksmith Guo is indeed retaliating for this move, but he still wants to negotiate peace.

How can I see it?Since we value the alliance, how could we humiliate and accus the Liao envoy in public?Xiao Siwen emphasized that those actors were false accusations.

He did not dare to threaten Yelu Xizhen with some conspiracies. It was extremely unwise to make Yelu Xizhen feel threatened at this time!

Yelu Xizhen said: When the deputy envoy sent the alliance to his country, he did not know that Mr. Xiao was humiliated; this shows that the blacksmith Guo first completed the alliance and then took revenge, and the severity was very obvious.In addition, I have thought about it many times for the Blacksmith Guo, and the Kingdom of Xu and the Liao Dynasty continued to fight, but they had no benefits at all... Of course, the Liao Dynasty was not good either.

Xiao Siwen pondered for a moment and said: The worrying man is fighting against Xu Guo and Goryeo on both sides of the east and west.As long as the Liao army pacified the Jurchen rebellion in the east and defeated the Goryeo army, they could completely tear up the alliance... Because Xu Guo humiliated the envoys of the Liao Dynasty first!

Yelu Xizhen immediately shook his head, stared at Xiao Siwen's eyes seriously and said: I have long advocated the national policy of coexisting harmoniously with Xu State, and I still have no intention to change this proposition.This is a strategy that has nothing to do with personal gains and losses, and is planning for the fate of the Great Liao Kingdom!I really don’t want to see one day that the Khitans would abandon the foundation established by Taizu and flow into the north of the desert, becoming a nomadic tribe!

Xiao Siwen was about to speak, but Yelu Xizhen immediately said in a tough tone: Although there are some unhappy things in this alliance, it has finally taken a substantial step.Mr. Xiao, I used to respect your loyalty to the Liao Dynasty, and have a long-term and far-reaching vision.But now I feel very disappointed that you are completely disregarding the pros and cons of the country for your personal gains and losses.

Xiao Siwen could no longer speak when he heard this and could hardly stand under his feet.

He was even more angry: Your mother!

One day when your life is hard to save and you have no way out, I hope you can still speak in such a selfless and far-sighted tone!

As for what his daughter asked for, Xiao Siwen did not forget it or mention a word.
