Zhao Yan, who was changing clothes, heard Zhao Xu ask about his opinion of Yelu Jun, and then smiled and said, "Isn't this question obvious? Although Yelu Jun is talented and treats people very sincerely, although this kind of person is suitable for being friends, it is not suitable for being an emperor. However, if he can ascend the throne in the future, it will be a good thing for me, the Song Dynasty!"

What Zhao Yan never expected was that after hearing his answer, Zhao Xu smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect that you, third brother, were also deceived by Yelu Jun. If you really thought Yelu Jun was what you thought, you would be very wrong. I even bet that if you use Yelu Chongyuan and his son to test him today, he must have seen your intention long ago!"

"Uh?" Zhao Yan was stunned when he heard this, then turned around and asked Zhao Xu, "Brother, do you mean that although Yelu Jun acts like a harmless scholar, he is actually a very cunning person?"

"I don't know whether there is any cunning or not, but Yelu Jun is definitely not as simple as it seems. It is said that Yelu Jun has been good at riding and shooting since he was a child. He could shoot wild deer at the age of seven. However, since he was twelve, he has never shown his riding and shooting in front of others. Instead, he gradually became famous for his talent. [23[w]x Last year, Huang Wude got a definite news that Yelu Jun had a half-brother. Although he was not a legitimate child, he performed well and was very popular with Yelu Hongji. However, just two years ago, the illegitimate prince died inexplicably, and it is likely to be related to Yelu Jun."

When he said this, Zhao Xu paused and then said: "In addition, when Yelu Jun went to the Song Dynasty last year and passed through some important military cities, he would stay for a few more days than usual. Although there was no definite evidence, Huang Wude suspected that he was investigating the terrain and military strength of those important military cities."

"Hiss~" Zhao Yan couldn't help but gasp when she heard this, and recalled the situation with Yelu Jun today in her mind. However, no matter what he thought, only Yelu Jun's harmless smile was left in her mind. It really made people unable to believe that it was just his disguise. But if you think about Yelu Jun being able to become the prince of Liao, you naturally would not be a simple person.

When Zhao Xu saw Zhao Yan's shocked look, he immediately reminded him again: "For Yelu Jun, third brother, you can just have a clear idea of ​​what to do in the future. Do not show distant appearance, but don't do any more temptations like today, otherwise Yelu Jun will only underestimate us."

"Thank you, brother, for reminding me. I know what to do in the future!" Zhao Yan also said seriously when he heard this. At the same time, he also looked at Zhao Xu with some admiration. Although Yelu Jun was hiding deeply, Zhao Xu could see that this person was not simple. From this we can see that Zhao Xu was definitely not simple either. It was just that their brothers were together. Zhao Xu always showed his true nature and did not have to show his mask everywhere like Yelu Jun.

"Haha, third brother, just understand. Let's go out quickly. Yelu Jun is still waiting for us to attend the banquet!" Zhao Xu saw Zhao Yan's serious look, and said with a smile. Although he was a little impatient in his daily work, he had eyes that could not only see through Yelu Jun's character, but Zhao Xu could also see that although the third brother in front of him had done a lot of things for the court during this period, he was not in the court. It was just because of a responsibility that he did those things. This was also the main reason why Zhao Xu was particularly at ease with Zhao Yan.

At that time, Zhao Yan and Zhao Xu got out of the tent together. At this time, the sky was completely dark. Dozens of fires had risen in the open space in the middle of the palace. There were all the roasted sheep on the fire. The people in the group had changed their clothes and sat around the fire. There were beautiful Khitan girls serving them, waiting for Zhao Xu and the others to come out and the banquet was held.

"Haha, Brother Zhao Xu, you are finally here. Come and sit with me. We will not return until we get drunk today!" As soon as Zhao Yan and the others came out, they saw Yelu Jun sitting next to a fire in the middle, holding the wine glass in their hands and laughing.

Looking at Yelu Jun with a bold face beside the fire, Zhao Yan was also a little dazed for a moment. If it weren't for Zhao Xu's reminder, he would never have thought that the other party had another side that he knew, especially thinking of Yelu Jun's brother who died inexplicably made Zhao Yan feel a little cold. Fortunately, the throne inheritance of the Song Dynasty has always been relatively peaceful, and there would be basically no competition between himself and Zhao Xu. Otherwise, if he was as cruel as the Liao Kingdom, I'm afraid Zhao Yan wouldn't even know how he died.

At that moment, Zhao Xu took Zhao Yan to sit next to the fire where Yelu Jun was, and then chatted and laughed with the other party like before. Zhao Yan looked at Zhao Xu's appearance, and had to admit in his heart that Zhao Xu was born to be a politician and his acting skills were absolutely first-class. Zhao Yan asked himself that he would never be able to do this.

The Khitans are nomadic peoples. Although they claim to have inherited the inheritance of the Tang Dynasty, they still retain the habits of the nomadic people. For example, the welcome banquet prepared by Yelu Jun was actually a barbecue conference. The mutton on the fire was the main dish. The waiter cut off the mutton in large pieces with a silver knife and sent it to the hands of the people attending the banquet. Then everyone drank and ate the meat in big mouthfuls. Zhao Yan didn't like drinking, but he liked the barbecue mutton very much, especially the sauce sent by the waiter, which was said to be secretly made by the Daliao Palace. After dipping the roasted mutton in this delicious sauce, the taste was absolutely amazing. Su Shi next to him was eating and eating, and he lost his interest in talking about poetry with Yelu Jun.

Like all nomadic peoples, shortly after the banquet began, some Khitan girls began to sing and dance around the fire, and some Khitan warriors who were self-reliant began to wrestle and perform. As a result, not only attracted the Khitans, but even the Song people in the delegation also began to watch the fun, either dancing with the girls or watching the fight between Khitan warriors. The cheers were not absolutely heard, and Zhao Yan and Zhao Xu did not stop this. After all, this banquet was originally intended to welcome them, and it is normal to indulge them now.

However, this harmonious scene did not last long. Soon, a beast-like roar came from the wrestling field, which attracted the eyes of Zhao Yan, Yelu Jun and others. As a result, a tall Khitan warrior like a giant was fighting with another warrior. With a roar, he actually raised the other party, then threw his arms out of the circle, which immediately attracted the admiration of countless people around him.

Just seeing the tall Khitan warrior on the field, Yelu Jun frowned because he recognized the warrior, and the other party's name was Bohai, who was a very famous warrior in the Liao Kingdom. Not only was he tall, but he had amazing divine power and had never had an opponent in the fight. Of course, if only this was the case, Yelu Jun would not care, but this Bohai was the guard beside Yelu Nerugu, and was extremely trusted by Yelu Nerugu.

"Hahahaha~" Bohai A threw out his opponent and immediately hit his chest with his fists like a gorilla, making a wild laugh, but then he suddenly showed a cruel expression and shouted to the onlooker Song people, "Do you Song people dare to come up to compete with me? If not, then you will all go back. I, Bohai A, don't need cowards to watch!"

Hearing Bohai's provocative words, Zhao Yan, Zhao Xu and others changed their faces, and Yelu Jun wanted to stand up and scold him, but unexpectedly, someone in the onlooker of the Song Dynasty immediately became extremely annoyed. One of the Song people with a big beard jumped onto the venue and pointed at Bohai's aside and roared: "Don't bully you, a certain family will come to you later!"

The bearded general Zhao Yan who jumped onto the field also knew him. If he remembered correctly, the other party seemed to be named Chen Ding, the head of the guard beside Zhao Xu. When Zhao Xu was sick, he fainted suddenly. It was Chen Ding who carried him to Zhao Yan's prince's mansion, which made Zhao Xu save his life. Since that day, Chen Ding has become Zhao Xu's confidant.

Seeing that it was Chen Ding on the field, Zhao Xu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and whispered: "Chen Ding is very brave and powerful. He has once killed hundreds of Xixia soldiers, and is born with amazing divine power. He should have hope of winning this Bohai when he comes to the field."

However, just as Zhao Xu finished speaking, Bohai A immediately roared and rushed towards Chen Ding. Chen Ding was not willing to be outdone, and roared to meet him. Then the two of them collided hard, and their four arms were twisted together like two ropes. However, as soon as they came into contact, Chen Ding realized something was wrong. He was born with his own divine power, but he did not expect that the big man on the opposite side was even more amazing. Even if he tried his best, he could not push the other party at all.

Bohai Ah also found that the other party was not as powerful as himself. He immediately sneered and roared like a beast again. With his arms competing, he actually threw Chen Ding out at once. He also deliberately threw Chen Ding to the place where the Song people gathered, but as a result, many people suddenly fell down, and several people screamed and were slightly injured.

Seeing the Song people's embarrassing appearance, Bohaia immediately burst into laughter. Some Khitans also laughed at the incompetence of the Song people, which made the people in the Song people glaring at each other. Zhao Xu and Zhao Yan who were watching from a distance also had gloomy faces. Yelu Jun next to him looked at Yelu Nelugu next to him, and found that the other party was looking at him with a proud look, which made Yelu Jun snort coldly, but it was hard to say anything. After all, the Khitans advocated force, and this kind of struggle was fair. The winner was naturally qualified to laugh at the weak.

But at this moment, another person from the Great Song Dynasty mission came out and came to Bohai A and said in a deep voice: "Big man, I'll compete with you!" (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
