Fang Zian thought deeply: "Then Xiao Yu and we really have no friendship. Since we are strangers, but he came to rescue us, there must be something fishy. Father-in-law, do you still remember Xiao Yu's conversation with the group of people who attacked us? I have a feeling

It feels like Xiao Yu knows the identity of the attackers, and he seems to know who sent them."

Shi Hao frowned and thought about it for a moment, then nodded slowly and said, "What you said really made me feel this way. Those people seemed to know Xiao Yu. As soon as Xiao Yu appeared, they stopped attacking and said that the target was

We, not Xiao Yu, asked him not to meddle in his own business. Xiao Yu said, let them go back and report the people behind them, saying that we are his guests tonight, and he will not allow others to kill us tonight. This way

The dialogue really seemed like a dialogue in which both parties knew each other’s details.”

Fang Zian nodded heavily and said: "My father-in-law remembers it very clearly and what he said is correct. This conversation is obviously a conversation in which both parties know each other. Xiao Yu obviously knows the identities of the attackers. Xiao Yu doesn't want us either.

We knew who they were, so we let those people take away all the dead and wounded in the end, just because they didn’t want us to learn clues and identities from the dead and wounded. This further shows that Xiao Yu was not sincere in saving us.

But out of some consideration. I think this consideration must be for himself, not for us."

Shi Hao frowned and said: "What is the reason for this? I really can't understand it. This is unreasonable. In any case, the person who wants to kill us must be Qin Hui's helper or backer in the Jin Kingdom. Even if Xiao Yu doesn't

By participating in this matter, you won’t be helping outsiders like us. Why would he do this?”

Fang Zian thought deeply: "Unless if we die in an attack tonight, it will be an unfavorable result for Xiao Yu. Let me think about it... Didn't Xiao Yu say that tonight?

We are the guests he invited to the banquet. If we are attacked and die tonight...it seems that he has something to do with it. Yes...yes...it must be like this, it must be like this."

Fang Zian suddenly reached out and patted the armrest of the chair, with a look of surprise on his face.

Shi Hao stood up and asked, "What did you think of?"

Fang Zian said in a deep voice: "Father-in-law, do you think that our status is the envoys of the Song Dynasty? If we die, it will definitely cause great disputes between the Song and Jin countries, right? Because of this, the old thief Qin Hui is

They will let his masters from the Jin Kingdom conduct a secret attack instead of openly killing us. We avoided the ambush on the road, and after arriving in Yanjing, they can't attack us openly. That's why they launched tonight's sneak attack.

Xiao Yu's invitation to dinner tonight probably means no harm. Excluding the possibility that he is acting on his own, there must be someone else who wants to take this opportunity to kill us. If we die in this attack tonight, others will mistakenly think that

We were set up by Xiao Yu, so Xiao Yu can’t escape the blame, isn’t that true?”

Shi Hao frowned and said, "What exactly do you want to say?"

Fang Zian smiled bitterly and said: "Father-in-law, haven't I made it clear enough? The attacker chose to ambush us tonight because he wanted Xiao Yu to bear the responsibility for our killing. Xiao Yu obviously understood this,

He refused to be framed, so he came out to save us tonight. This is the reason why he saved us, it must be like this, otherwise there is no explanation at all."

Shi Hao said in surprise: "You mean, there are also disputes within the Jin Kingdom? The people who attacked us want to blame Xiao Yu?"

Fang Zian nodded and said: "That's exactly what I mean. Father-in-law, don't our Song Dynasty courts also have their own factions, and they are constantly attacking and crushing each other? Not only in this dynasty, but in the past dynasties, there are almost no monolithic parties, fighting for power and profit, and the same party and the other party.

It’s not a rare thing. Doesn’t this kind of thing happen in the Jin Kingdom? Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many cruel purges in the Jin Kingdom. Didn’t you tell me some things about the Jin Kingdom on the way? Then Xiao Yu helped Wanyan

Liang usurped the throne and committed regicide, and also participated in the purge of the clans of the descendants of Emperor Taizu of the Jin Kingdom. Wan Yanliang became very popular in front of him. How could he have no political enemies? I never believe it. People like Xiao Yu have blood on their hands. In the Jin Dynasty,

The Ministry must have many enemies. He is now the right prime minister, one person below ten thousand people, but he must also be the enemy and object of hatred of many people. Some people took advantage of the opportunity of killing us to make him a scapegoat.

Letting him take the blame would be an excellent opportunity to throw dirty water on him. Once we die, how can I, the Song Dynasty, rest? If the Jin people don’t want to start a war, they have to find someone to take responsibility. Xiao Yu can’t refuse.

He is to blame. His political opponents will use this to criticize him fiercely. If he doesn’t fall, he will shed his skin, right? So Xiao Yu took the initiative to protect us and thwarted the attack. Although we did benefit, in the final analysis

, but he was thinking about himself. He made it clear that we are their honored guests tonight, and he wants to protect us. The implication is that the attackers should go back and tell his political opponents that he knows their tricks.

, letting his political opponents understand that they would not succeed tonight. That's why the attackers retreated. Xiao Yu must have been well prepared. There must be a large number of soldiers and horses hiding near the intersection of the attack, and those attackers were afraid that they were also prepared.

Well aware."

After hearing what Fang Zian said, Shi Hao stood up slowly and said in a deep voice: "Zian, your analysis is very reasonable. Maybe it is, otherwise Xiao Yu's behavior cannot be explained. You are right. According to

I know that Xiao Yu did make many enemies. Xiao Yu was favored by Wan Yanliang and was also Wan Yanliang's confidant, but Wan Yanliang did not completely trust him. Wan Yanliang was cruel and suspicious, and he was extremely cruel.

He was brutal. After usurping the throne, he became even more ferocious. He killed many of his heroes. In addition to Xiao Yu, the people who helped him usurp the throne include Bingde, Tang Kuobian, Wu Dai and others. However, they were all killed.

Wanyan Liang suspected and executed him, but only Xiao Yu gained Wanyan Liang's trust and became the right prime minister. However, Wan Yanliang was not completely at ease with Xiao Yu, so he appointed his younger brother Wanyan Gun as the left prime minister to take charge of the affairs of the three provinces.

It was considered to be an act of surveillance and restraint on Xiao Yu. The conflict between Wanyan Gun and Xiao Yu was well known to everyone. They both wanted to monopolize the power of the prime minister, and they made trouble."

Hearing this, Fang Zian said in a deep voice: "It turns out there are so many inside stories. Father-in-law, why didn't you tell me earlier? When you said this, my son-in-law thought that things had become much clearer. Since Wanyan Gun and Xiao Yu are political enemies

, I think what happened tonight is probably related to Wanyangun, Xiao Yu’s political enemy. Xiao Yu did not arrest the assassin who attacked, probably because the identity of the person behind the attack could not be disclosed, and he did not want to make things worse.

Clean up. Wanyangun is Wanyanliang's younger brother. I'm afraid he doesn't want to offend Wanyangun. That's why he stopped the attack and refused to let Wanyangun take the opportunity to throw dirty water. At the same time, he let the attacker go without any further action.

Investigate, so as not to deepen the conflict with Wanyan Gun. Further inference, if the attack tonight

The soldiers and horses that attacked were sent by Wanyan Gun, but the old thief Qin Hui and Wanyan Gun must be connected, and Wanyan Gun also helped the old thief Qin Hui with the sword that killed us."

Shi Hao nodded and said: "What you said is not unreasonable. If the guess is true, Wanyan Gun is probably the person behind the scenes who wants to kill us. Zian, that will be really difficult. Then Wanyan Gun is completely

Yan Liang's younger brother is both the prince and the left prime minister, and he also holds military power. Our situation is worrying."

Fang Zian smiled and said: "Father-in-law, this is our opportunity. I am worried about where to start, but now I know so many situations. Knowing so many inside stories, isn't it our opportunity? Wanyan Gun wants to kill us.

, Xiao Yu may not think so. And they are political enemies, so there is a lot to be done here."

Shi Haodao: "What do you want to do? Then Xiao Yu is from the Jin Kingdom anyway. You also said that he helped us out of his own benefit. How could he be willing to help us again in the future?"

Fang Zian said: "I know this is difficult, but this is obviously a breakthrough. I must try with all my strength. Let's take advantage of the contradiction between them. Maybe our arrival can stir up a storm within the Kingdom of Jin."

Shi Hao looked at Fang Zian blankly for a while, then sighed: "It's difficult, it's difficult. If you're not careful, we may die faster."

Fang Zian said: "We are already in a dead place with no chance of survival, so why should we worry about it? In order to accomplish great things, we can only risk everything."

Shi Hao nodded slowly and said: "Okay, just go ahead and do it, I will support you. Even if it doesn't succeed, I won't blame you. Just give it a try and risk your life to survive. Zian, I believe in you."

…

For several days in a row, Shi Hao and Fang Zian received banquet invitations from many princes and nobles in the Kingdom of Jin. However, in view of the lessons learned that night, Shi Hao and Fang Zian naturally did not dare to agree easily, and only used various reasons to shirk. With Xiao Yuna

What happened after Wan's invitation, maybe every invited banquet is a test of life and death, Fang Zian doesn't want to give them a chance.

The princes and nobles of the Jin Kingdom were very dissatisfied with the disrespect of the two envoys from the Song Dynasty. In fact, they did not invite Shi Hao and Fang Zian because they were famous admirers, but just out of a curiosity and comparison. Life itself is

Wealth is boring, and banquets with singing, dancing, wine, meat, and beautiful women are very boring. Two envoys from the Song Dynasty came, which was just a break from the monotonous life. Moreover, being able to drink and feast with the envoys of the Song Dynasty was also a symbol of conversation and status.

When comparing with each other, you can also show it off.

Just like after the Bianliang was conquered, the two abducted emperors of the Song Dynasty were invited to banquets by various nobles, generals and ministers for a period of time. It was not a sign of respect and preferential treatment, but a kind of monkey-like onlookers.

The sense of superiority is also the basis for comparison. At that time, whoever failed to have a drink and clink glasses with the two captured emperors of the Song Dynasty was simply a failure. Whoever did not have one or two in his house

The emperor's concubines and concubines of the Song Dynasty would be looked down upon by others if they had not tasted the taste of women in the palace of the Song Dynasty.

Deep down, the Jurchens actually had low self-esteem. Deep down, they knew that the people of the Song Dynasty were more advanced and civilized than them. But it was this deep self-esteem that manifested itself in an almost perverted appearance.
