Fang Zian and Feng Yiming ordered several bowls of noodles at the stall. In fact, they had already eaten breakfast before going out, but Fang Zian did not want to eat noodles, but saw the hard work of the father and daughter and thought of Chun Ni.

The father and daughter work hard, so I take care of their business.

The noodles tasted terrible. They were thousands of miles away from the noodles cooked by Chunni, and the taste was completely different. But Fang Zian still paid for double the noodles and praised the girl who cooked the noodles, saying that she was very skilled and would definitely make a lot of money in the future.

Silver. This was the first time that the girl heard someone praise her cooking noodles, and a smile appeared on her numb face. Fang Zian was also very happy when she saw it. Maybe the extra noodles and praises she gave could not change their current situation.

, but at least let the father and daughter feel goodwill and happiness today, that is also a sincere thought.

When Fang Zian walked into Xiao Yu's study, Xiao Yu was drinking a pot of hot tea on the corridor of the study and admiring the falling snow. It was cold this morning and there were signs of falling snow, so Xiao Yu did not go to court.

Anyway, after Wanyan Liang ascended the throne, the court meetings were basically cancelled. Wanyan Liang was very busy. There were many women in the harem. He had extremely strong energy, but all of it was used on the women in the harem. If there were important matters, Xiao Yu and others

People will go to the palace to see him. It doesn't matter if he can't go to court early.

"Fang Zian has met Prime Minister Xiao. Prime Minister Xiao is so elegant." Fang Zian stood in the corridor and bowed his hands.

Xiao Yu stood up and said with a smile: "Envoy Fang Qin, why are you here? In such weather, Envoy Fang Qin is still walking around outside. Be careful of the cold wind and snow. You people of the Song Dynasty can't stand this kind of weather."

Fang Zian sighed: "I also want to stay in the posthouse to warm myself by the fire, drink tea and enjoy the snow, but I have to come and ask to see Prime Minister Xiao."

Xiao Yu smiled and nodded and said: "Let's go into the study and talk. This snow is not interesting. It's big or small, it's not small. It lacks a little meaning. I won't reward you."

Fang Zian said yes and followed Xiao Yu into the study. The servant moved the tea to the small table near the window, and after refilling the tea cakes and hot water, Xiao Yu waved his hand and sent the servant out so that they would not disturb him.

"What? Why did Ambassador Fang Qin say he had to come to see me? Did he cause some trouble? Please sit down!" Xiao Yu smiled and extended his hand to invite me, and he slowly sat on the soft futon made of sheepskin.

Fang Zian did not sit down. He frowned and said in a deep voice: "Prime Minister Xiao, how dare we look for trouble. However, if we don't look for trouble, trouble will come to us. When I come today, I really have to come to Prime Minister Xiao.

Frankly tell me something, otherwise I will feel uneasy."

Xiao Yu said "Oh" and saw that Fang Zian's expression was serious, and the smile on his face slowly disappeared. He felt that Fang Zian's mood seemed to be very low, and he had a premonition that something big was going to happen.

"What is it? I don't know if I can help you solve it. As long as it doesn't involve major matters between the two countries, I can still help you with some minor matters." Xiao Yu actually has no hostility towards the two Song envoys Fang Zian and Shi Hao. In fact,

He still felt a sense of pity. He was someone who knew the inside story. He knew that Fang Zian and Shi Hao would most likely not return to Yanjing with their lives, so it was considered a good thing to help them when they were facing dying people.

A kind of merit and some balance in the heart.

"This matter is related to Prime Minister Xiao." Fang Zian said.

Xiao Yu looked at Fang Zian in surprise, but then he heard Fang Zian bow respectfully and said, "To be precise, Zian is here to apologize to Prime Minister Xiao."

"Where does the crime come from?" Xiao Yu was really surprised.

"Last night I was invited to a banquet by Wanyan Gun, the Prime Minister of your country." Fang Zian said solemnly.

Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows. He was not surprised by this, because he knew about it yesterday. When Wanyangun ordered people to go to the hotel to invite Fang Zian and Shi Hao to a banquet, Xiao Yu received the report.

Xiao Yu's intelligence network was much faster and more accurate than Wanyan Gun's. This was one of the reasons why Xiao Yu didn't take Wanyan Gun seriously at all, and was hostile to Wanyan Gun and even looked down upon him.

In terms of planning and layout, Wanyan Gun is his younger brother.

"Does Prime Minister Xiao know what Prime Minister Wanyan said to me last night?" Fang Zian asked.

Xiao Yu knew a lot about what happened at the banquet last night, and he was among the guests. However, Xiao Yu did not know what Wanyan Gun and Fang Zian said individually. Wanyan Gun and Fang Zian

Zian ended up talking alone, and Xiao Yu's people had already been driven out of the palace. Of course Xiao Yu wanted to know the content, but he didn't want to show it.

"Envoy Fang Qin, how could I know what Prime Minister Wanyan said to you? I don't want to know either. I'm not someone who likes to inquire about other people's secrets. You don't have to tell me."

"But, what if these words are all about Prime Minister Xiao? Doesn't Prime Minister Xiao want to hear it? Even if Prime Minister Xiao doesn't want to hear it, Zian must tell the truth frankly, otherwise I will not be able to feel at peace in my heart." Fang Zian sighed.

Xiao Yu frowned and said, "About me?"

Fang Zian nodded and said: "Yes, I thought it was just an ordinary banquet last night, but Prime Minister Wanyan finally left me here, said some words alone, and forced me to do something. I thought about it last night

One night, I decided to confess this matter to Prime Minister Xiao. Prime Minister Xiao saved our lives. If I didn't confess this matter, I would really feel uneasy. So, I came to see Prime Minister Xiao early in the morning."

Xiao Yu frowned and said nothing, waiting for Fang Zian to continue speaking.

"Prime Minister Xiao, Mr. Shi and I came to your country as envoys with no intention of getting involved in the struggles and disputes of your country's court. That is definitely not a good thing for us. However, trouble came to your door. Last night Wanyan

The Prime Minister told me something that shocked me. He said that someone in the Song Dynasty court asked him to kill Mr. Shi and I so that we would never be able to return to the Song Dynasty. He also admitted that he had left Prime Minister Xiao on that day.

The attack on the way back from the banquet in the mansion was caused by his orders, but was stopped by Prime Minister Xiao. He told me that he would order people to kill us at any time. He didn’t care about the relationship between the two countries. He said that he liked the two countries.

In this way, he can lead the army to attack the Song Dynasty and gain power. He threatened me unabashedly..."

Xiao Yu's expression changed and his brows knitted into a knot. Xiao Yu never expected that Wanyan Gun would directly tell Fang Zian that he wanted to kill the envoy of the Song Dynasty. However, this was in line with Wanyan Gun's wishes.

His style of conduct. He has always been an arrogant and arrogant person. But now, the two envoys of the Song Dynasty in Yanjing are like fish on the chopping board. They cannot escape his grasp. It is entirely possible that he will be proud of his prey.

Say these words in front of me.

"Did he really say that? It's too much. Envoy Fang Qin, don't believe him. He is talking nonsense and is deliberately trying to scare you. It's impossible." Xiao Yu said in a deep voice.

The lives and deaths of Fang Zian and Shi Hao have nothing to do with him, but Xiao Yu is not cruel enough to confirm this. Just kill someone, why bother to intimidate and threaten the victim before killing? This is inhumane.

"But I really believed what he said about having noses and eyes. But that's not what scares me the most. Mr. Shi and I are actually not afraid of death. Before we went to the Jin Kingdom as envoys, we knew that we would escape death in the Jin Kingdom. We even

I wrote my will and prepared to die. However, Prime Minister Wanyan gave us a glimmer of hope last night. He made a request to me, saying that as long as I did this for him, he would spare us.

, to ensure that we return to the Song Dynasty safely. Prime Minister Xiao, the request he made is about you. He... asked me to fabricate the banquet at your house that night, saying that you wanted to collude with us to rebel against the Kingdom of Jin

, said that the reason why you asked us to come to the banquet was because you wanted us to help you lobby the Song Dynasty, and cooperate with the inside and outside. You also said that you are from the Liao Dynasty, and you have long had the intention to fight against the Jin Dynasty and restore the Liao Dynasty, and secretly contacted the old dignitaries of the Liao Kingdom.

Collusion, waiting to cause trouble... In short, Wanyangun asked us to write down a lot of things you told us that were not true, and let us use them as witnesses to attack Prime Minister Xiao. He said... As long as I help him, he

He spared our lives..."

Xiao Yu's expression was distorted with shock. When he heard what Fang Zian said, he couldn't believe his ears. Wanyangun actually did such a thing? He forced Fang Zian to fabricate lies and falsely accuse himself of colluding with foreign enemies to rebel.

Jin? This is simply unbelievable. If it were true, wouldn’t it be crazy?

"...Prime Minister Xiao, do you know? When you know that there is no way to survive, people will be calm. What they fear most is that when there is a chance of survival, it is the greatest test for people. After all, ants can still survive. I was

I was frightened and only thought about the chance to return to the Song Dynasty alive, so I agreed to him under his coercion, wrote these words and signed them. However, after thinking about it last night, I felt that I had done it.

A stupid thing. I'm afraid I did something wrong because of the fear at the time. I have no grievances with Prime Minister Xiao, and Prime Minister Xiao saved us once. Although Prime Minister Xiao and we are not from the same country, we are both

People who have read the books of sages have some things in common. I also admire Prime Minister Xiao's demeanor. How can I coerce others into doing such a thing, to help Wanyan Gun frame Prime Minister Xiao? Although I don't

Knowing the grudge between Wanyan Gun and Prime Minister Xiao, why would I fabricate lies to attack you so frantically? But for me, doing so makes my conscience uneasy. I am also a person who reads books from sages, and the teachings of sages are engraved in my mind.

, how can I lose my principles because of the coercion of others? Then the truths I have learned from the books I have read for so many years have been read to dogs. Then what is the difference between me and those despicable people, animals and lackeys? So,

After thinking about it, I feel that I must confess this matter to Prime Minister Xiao. The mistake last night has been made. What I can do is to make up for it and tell Prime Minister Xiao the whole story so that Prime Minister Xiao can prepare in advance and avoid criticism.

This is the reason why I came to see Prime Minister Xiao today. I apologize to Prime Minister Xiao."
