"This is also your one-sided statement, so how can I believe it?" Ma Zheng retorted.

The two of them looked at each other, as if sparks were rubbing in the air. Suddenly, Nianhan laughed: "You are right. When two hunters meet in the woods, no one can trust anyone. But that doesn't matter. Drink a few times together and hunt a few times, you will know who is a good person and who is a bad person!" He made a gesture behind him, and the attendant behind him placed more than ten swords and arrows on the ground, and said with a smile: "All these are yours, so I'll give them all to you!"

"Thank you, Yilai Bo!" Ma Zheng sang a fat look to Nian Han, picked up his sword and hung it on his waist. Nian Han pretended to be careless and asked, "These military weapons are well-made. I wonder if all the soldiers in your army can use them?"

Before Ma Zheng could answer, Zhishan, who was standing aside, smiled and said, "My devil is a very wise man. Ma Dujian was originally a military officer in the Western Army, and these military weapons were originally used in the army!"

"So that's it!" A hint of surprise flashed across Nianhan's gaze. He picked up a sword on the ground and drew the sword out of the sheath. The sharp blade showed a faint blue meaning in the sunlight, which made people feel a chill on their backs. He swung skillfully and slashed twice, and suddenly asked: "I heard from the captured Liao general that the most powerful soldiers in the world are the 'Xia sword' made by the Xixia people. They are sharp and incompetent, and killing people is like mowing grass. I wonder how different this sword is from?"

"There are so many rumors in the world that are exaggerated!" Zhishan smiled and said, "Although the 'Xia Renjian' is good, how can it be better than the weapons made by the Bianjing army craftsmen of the Song Dynasty? I believe that I have seen my Song Dynasty goods. Which one is not far superior to the Liao people or the Xia people? Even these swords, bows and arrows, can the Liao army's equipment be compared?"

Nianhan returned the sword to the sheath, picked up another bow, looked at the eyes of an expert, pulled the bow full, and showed appreciation in his eyes. He reluctantly put down the bow and smiled: "The craftsmen of your country are indeed wonderful, even these bows are all passed down to our descendants. But I don't know why your country's military armor is so sharp, why can't you defeat the Liao Kingdom alone and sign a contract with our army to join forces?"

Zhishan couldn't help but make a sound in his heart when he heard this. He just boasted that the purpose of the Song people's sharp weapons was to scare the Jin people so that they would not covet the Song people. However, he did not expect that Nianhan was indeed cunning and was not scared. He was thinking about how to answer, and Ma Zheng, who was beside him, replied in a deep voice: "Liao is a great country in the world. Even though my Song Dynasty is strong, I cannot destroy the country alone. Isn't this the same for your country? Otherwise, I can just turn us back directly, so why bother with me here?"

"What the envoy said is very true!" Nianhan rarely showed a dilemma. Although the Jin people won consecutive battles at that time, after all, the Liao country had been established for more than a hundred years, and its power was mixed, and the centipede insects died without being stiff. With the power of the Jin people, it was really hard to defeat the country alone. Later, the Liao country collapsed, and the Jin people were brave and good at fighting, but there were also the Liao people's ruler Emperor Tianzuo, who was the ruler of the Liao people, took rebellious actions, causing the ruling group to collapse. Later, Yelu Dashi escaped

Later, he was able to fight west with the remaining power of the Liao Kingdom in the northwest, and established a Western Liao Dynasty in Central Asia for nearly a hundred years. This shows that the Liao Kingdom was not without power or talent at that time, but the lack of a reliable leader led to the destruction of the country. But at that time, Nianhan didn't know, after all, no one knew whether Emperor Tianzuo would suddenly repent and work hard to govern. At that time, with the power of the Jurchens, they could be killed in one battle.

The three of them touched each other for a long time in the room and all understood. Nian Han smiled and said, "Since that's the case, I won't hide it from the two of you anymore. Our king agreed to join forces with your country to attack the Khitan together. However, the envoys must leave a few people as their responsibilities, so our country can send a few people as envoys to your country to discuss the details of how to join forces. What do you think?"

Ma Zheng was overjoyed when he heard this. The hard work on the sea was finally in vain. Leaving a few people as hostages was also the only thing he could do. He was thinking about who should be kept as a hostage. Zhishan, who was standing beside him, smiled and said, "It's great. If you have no objection to me, why don't you let me stay?"

"If the Zen master is willing to stay, that is the best!" Nianhan had already seen that Zhishan was smart and capable, and he would give him words and should be an important figure in the mission. As the leader of the mission, Ma Zheng must not be able to stay. It is good to stay Zhishan. He nodded immediately to agree, but he did not know that Zhishan was actually a "no-staff". Seeing this, Ma Zheng had to nod to agree. So he and Nianhan agreed that he would lead the Bohai people Li Shanqing, the Jurchen people Xiao Sanduo, Boda, to carry the letter of the country and the gifts of Beizhu, Shengjin, mink, ginseng, pine nuts and other gifts across the sea to Song, while Zhishan and five other soldiers were left as hostages.

Before leaving, Ma Zheng said to Zhishan: "Zen Master, this time you are just a guest, but you were left as a hostage. I am really sorry."

Zhishan smiled and said, "If it is beneficial to the country, what's the harm in taking my life? Besides, I just stayed for a few months. The Jin people alliance is quite urgent and I will definitely not treat me badly. Don't worry. But I have a letter, and I will ask you to go back and serve it for me." At this point, Zhishan took out a letter from his arms and handed it over.

Ma Zheng took the letter, put it in his arms solemnly, and asked, "Who is the recipient?"

"I met a man in Xuejiazhuang, Anyang, Xiangzhou. His surname was Zhou Ping. He was the second son of the owner Xue Zhangren. He was a rare strange man in the world. I gave this letter to him. Please send it to him."

"Please rest assured by Zen Master!" Ma Zheng smiled and said, "I will definitely send the letter to Zhou Ping."

Tokyo Bianliang.

Perhaps because of the arrival of the Jin envoy, Zhou Ping and Xue Liangyu had no news of joining the Liao Kingdom after they arrived at Han Xiaozhou's mansion in Bianjing. They just stayed idle in the mansion every day. Xue Liangyu, who was not aware of the inside story, would complain in the first few days, but soon, this young man from the village was fascinated by the unique charm of Tokyo, the most civilized and prosperous metropolis at that time. Unlike the simple and boring life that most people in the world lived, Tokyo people spent their days in neighborhoods, temple fairs, paving their lives, and theaters. They had a lot of leisure time all year round. Every day, Xue Liangyu, a foreigner, can find fresh and interesting things, such as Tianhanqiao Street, Linbian Street, Maxing Street, Panlou Street, Jieshi, Taohua Cave, and Tanxiang Street; Daxiangguo Temple, juggling, storytelling, movies, and corners next to the "thorn pot";

Li He'er fried chestnuts, Wang Daoren fried honey, Sun Haoshou steamed buns, Song Sisao fish soup, Cao Po meat cakes, Xue family sheep rice, Zhang family cheese food. Xue Liangyu couldn't believe that there was such a city in this world; so many people lived such a completely different life. Compared to Tokyo people, he had lived such a boring and boring life before! He was like a young bird who had just crawled out of the eggshell, shocked by the colorful world outside the eggshell. After he recovered from this dullness, he began to chatter and tell his only companion. But what made him angry was that Zhou Ping's attitude was so calm. While waxing his bowstrings, he nodded from time to time, and said with a hint, it was like he heard "leafs fell" and "wheat was ripe" and other common things in his hometown.

"Aping, you didn't go to see Li Bao's corner with me today. He is Tokyo, no, he is the number one hero in the world! I heard that he used to be an imperial guard in front of the palace, and his ability is so good!" As usual, Xue Liangyu, who had come back from wandering around after dinner, boasted about his experiences today at Zhou Ping. Seeing that he was so excited, Zhou Ping picked up the teapot and poured him a glass of water, and smiled and said, "Why, it's even better than our Silang?"

"How can I get to him!" Xue Liangyu, whose face was flushed, jumped up from the bed: "That strength and skill are indeed worthy of being a hero of the Palace Front Office and a hero of the Guards! I heard that when he was in the Palace Front Office, no one among the three yamen could resist him for three rounds, so he got the nickname "Xiao Guansuo". How powerful it was!" At this point, Xue Liangyu showed a longing expression on his face.

"Then why didn't he stay in front of the palace? With his ability, he could at least be a useful person, right?"

"Didn't you offend that Gao Qiu!" Xue Liangyu sneered: "The palace coach Gao Qiu also likes this thing. He has repeatedly signaled him that he can promote him as a coach as long as he gets three points in a corner, but he doesn't care. One day, Gao Qiu got drunk and must fight him in front of many powerful people. He was unwilling tolerant and fell down. From then on, Gao Qiu hated him to the core, and he couldn't tolerate himself in the imperial guards, so he simply went to the art field to perform." Not long after this young man arrived in Tokyo, even his likes and dislikes were infected by this city, and became the same.

"Haha!" Zhou Ping laughed, put the waxed bowstring on the bow, pulled it twice, then took it off again, wrapped it in oil paper, so as not to get wet. Xue Liangyu, who was beside him, couldn't help but say angrily: "Why are you like this? Can you believe what I said? If you don't believe it, go with me to see it!" After that, he wanted to reach out and pull Zhou Ping.

Zhou Ping smiled and moved away from his companion's hand and said, "I can't believe you, but I ask you, you've gone out to stroll every day these days, but I'm afraid you've put down all the bow and horse affairs?"
