When he heard Zhao Yan's proposal to go to the ship to discuss, Posaishu, who was envoy of Wanyan's tribe, was also very happy and tried his best to persuade Silibo and others to board the ship. After all, he had been to Tokyo in person and knew that the Song Dynasty did want to form an alliance with them, and a large amount of supplies were transported on the ship. Therefore, if Silibo and others could board the ship now, it could also show their Wanyan's tribe's sincerity for this alliance.

Xilibo was also very moved and had to nodify at the moment. After all, he was very curious about the sea ships in the Song Dynasty. Even so big, it was the first time he saw such a big ship. But at this moment, the impeacher who came with Xilibo said, "We Jurchens have always lived on land only. I'm afraid we will feel a little uncomfortable when we get on the boat, so it's better to hold a banquet on this beach, and you can also eat and chat!"

"That's right, I felt dizzy when I saw the water, so it would be better to stay on the shore!" Sagai, who was standing beside the impeacher, also shouted. This time, all the people who came here were important figures of the Wanyan tribe. In addition to the brothers of the Islibo, many of the second generations of the Wanyan tribe, such as Aguda, the eldest son of the Islibo, also came together. As for Wu Qimai, perhaps because he was too young, he could only stay in the tribe.

When the impeacher father and son said this, he couldn't resist the elder brother's face, so he could only smile with an apology to Zhao Yan and said: "Your Highness, the eldest brother and the others are right. We Jurchens are indeed not familiar with water. We will inevitably be uncomfortable when we go to the boat, so we ask the prince to atone for our sins!"

Seeing that the people of Xilibo and others were unwilling to get on the boat, Zhao Yan deliberately snorted with the impeacher. Then he said coldly to Xilibo: "Since that's the case, I won't force you anymore. Now my elder brother comes here in person just to sign an alliance with Wanyan's tribe. As for how to operate this matter, the leader of Wanyan will discuss with my elder brother!"

After Zhao Yan said that, he took Yelu Si to the side, while Zhao Xu kept observing the conversation between Zhao Yan and Xi Libo and others carefully. At this time, he seemed to have seen something, but he did not express anything in particular, but still smiled and chatted with Xi Libo for a few words. Finally, he looked up at the sun that had just turned west and said, "Captain Wanyan. It's getting late today, and I met my third brother again for a long time, so I have a lot to say, so why don't we not talk about alliances for the time being. How about we talk about this tomorrow after we have a night off?"

Just now, Zhao Xu had discovered from the conversation between Zhao Yan and Iowa Libo, Iowa and others. The impeacher seemed not friendly to his younger brother, and even the other party seemed not willing to form an alliance with the Song Dynasty. Instead, Iowa Libo was very concerned about the alliance. Since this was the case, Zhao Xu planned to delay it, put on the airs of the Song Dynasty, so that the people of Wanyan tribe understood that the Song Dynasty did not have to form an alliance with them, and also let Iowa Libo express his opinion, and it would be best to punish the impeacher and vent his anger on Zhao Yan.

After Zhao Xu finished speaking, he ignored the Imperiali Bo and took Zhao Yan and others onto the boat. Seeing that Zhao Yan and the others were leaving, Imperiali Bo wanted to stop him but did not dare to stop him. The father and son of the impeacher showed a smug smile because they did not agree to form an alliance with the Song Dynasty, but the Potassus showed an anxious look. He ran around for the alliance and spent a lot of time and energy. He was about to succeed, but in the end, he angered the brothers of the Zhao Xu because of the rudeness of the father and son of the impeacher. If the alliance was not possible due to this reason, he would not be willing to do so. Thinking of this, his eyes at the father and son of the impeacher were also a little resentful.

Zhao Yan saw the changes in expressions of the brothers of Xilibo. After boarding the boat with Zhao Xu, Zhao Yan smiled and said, "Brother is really amazing. In just a few words, there has been a gap between the brothers of Xilibo!"

"Haha, I'm just taking advantage of the snob." Zhao Xu still didn't care about the matter of the brothers of Islibo. In his opinion, the Wanyan tribe was a group of savages, but the Song Dynasty needed them to cause trouble behind the Liao Kingdom, so he chatted with Islibo for a few more words. If the Song Dynasty did not need these savages, he would probably not even look at them.

Next, Zhao Xu asked about Zhao Yan's experience during this period. Although he had met Su Shi before and learned some news about Zhao Yan from him, Su Shi wanted to conceal Yelu Si's affairs, so he did not explain some things clearly, or lie directly, so Zhao Xu naturally had to ask clearly now.

Zhao Yan did not hide anything from Zhao Xu, and told everything. Of course, some secret matters were not mentioned, such as he accidentally saw the wife of Siori Bo taking a bath. However, he focused on the customs and habits of the Wanyan tribe and the bravery of the Jurchens, especially the war between the Wanyan tribe and the Changbai Mountain tribe, and the Jurchen tribe that died in the battle until the last soldier, but no one was willing to surrender.

Zhao Xu was only interested in Zhao Yan's experience at first, but when he heard the bravery and fierceness of the Jurchens, he couldn't help but show a surprised expression. He didn't expect that those savage Jurchens were so brave and good at fighting. If all the soldiers of the Song Dynasty could do this, why worry about the immortality of Xixia and Liao Kingdom?

Just as Zhao Yan was talking to Zhao Xu, the boat finally came under the sea boat, and then Zhao Yan and the others followed the ladder to the deck. Although Zhao Xu had a lot to say to Zhao Yan, he saw that Zhao Yan was still wearing animal skin, black and thin like a savage, and the same was true for Yelu Si and others, so Zhao Xu immediately asked someone to prepare hot water to let Zhao Yan and the others take a shower and change their clothes.

Speaking of the conditions on the sea boat, it is very luxurious to wash your face when sailing on the sea. However, since you have already reached the shore, the water can be replenished at any time. Moreover, as the prince of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Xu also made some preparations on the boat he was riding, and all the bathtubs were available, but the conditions were still a bit simple, but no matter how simple it was, it was countless times better than the living conditions of Wanyan tribe.

When she was in Wanyan's temple, she could take a bath in the stream in summer, but not in winter. At most, she would burn some hot water to wipe her body, and she would risk a cold. Since Yelu Si became pregnant, she never dared to do this again. Nowadays, the few people haven't taken a bath for more than a month, and Zhao Yan can sometimes smell the smell on her body.

It is precisely because of this that Zhao Yan did not be polite to Zhao Xu, and immediately pulled Yelu Si into the cabin to take a shower and change clothes. As for Zhou Tong and Gutou, there were people who arranged it. It took more than an hour for Zhao Yan to clean her body, especially when she used the long-lost soap, which made her body exuded a faint fragrance, which made Zhao Yan feel even more relaxed and happy.

After changing into the cotton coat that Zhao Xu asked his maid to send, Zhao Yan left the cabin. Yelu Si in the compartment was still under the maid's service, but this was normal. Yelu Si was a little obsessed with cleanliness. It was already very rare to insist on not scrubbing the child in his belly for a month. Now that he has this opportunity, he naturally needs to clean it up well.

Zhao Yan left the room, and Zhao Xu had prepared wine and food to greet them in a large cabin on the top of the sea ship. Zhou Tong, Gu Tianjie and others had already sat down, just waiting for him and Yelu Si.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhao Yan introduced Gu Tianjie and his daughter to Zhao Xu. Zhao Xu had long discovered that although Gu Tianjie was inconvenient, his words and deeds were not like ordinary people. When he heard that the other party was a scholar of the Liao Kingdom who was in love with the Song Dynasty, he was forced to fall into the Wanyan tribe because he was forced by the Liao nobles. This made Zhao Xu respect Gu Tianjie very much. He stood up and toasted the other party with a glass of wine. Gu Tianjie was very calm about this, and he smiled and drank the wine that Zhao Xu was so respectful.

After a while, Yelu Si finally arrived, so the reception banquet officially began. Zhao Xu first stood up to toast everyone, especially Zhou Tong and the other three guards. Without their protection, Zhao Yan would probably find it difficult to come back safely. Although Zhou Tong and the other two dared not say that they were afraid, an excited look flashed across their faces. After all, it was a very rare thing to be praised by Zhao Xu.

Next, Zhao Xu focused on Gu Tianjie, mainly asking him about the attitude of the scholars of Liao Kingdom towards the Song Dynasty. In fact, they had conducted investigations in Liao Kingdom about this matter, but they were definitely not as good as Gu Tianjie. However, Zhao Xu soon discovered that Gu Tianjie not only knew all aspects of Liao Kingdom very well, but also had his own unique insights on some things. His ideas also made Zhao Xu very much agree. The more they talked, the more they became more and more speculative, and even felt that they met too late.

Zhao Yan did not join in the conversation between Zhao Xu and Gu Tianjie, and he had no time at all, because he had been attracted by the dishes at the reception banquet. During the past six months of Wanyan's residence, although there was meat every day, the cooking method was really rough, especially after winter, he couldn't even see a leaf of vegetables all day long. Besides meat, he had been eating it. Zhao Yan had long wanted to vomit. Now he saw some vegetarian dishes in the dishes. Although most of them were made of cabbage, Zhao Yan still couldn't help but eat it. It was the first time he discovered that vegetables were so delicious.

In fact, not only Zhao Yan, Zhou Tong, He Li and others were also shopping for food, but they all picked vegetarian dishes first. Even Yelu Si, who paid the most attention to his manners, was the same. As for the girl Bone, she even picked up the plate and slapped it into her mouth. Gu Tianjie, who was talking to Zhao Xu, was very helpless to see this. Although Bone is his daughter, he grew up in a place like Wanyan tribe since he was a child. He thought he could only stay in Wanyan tribe for the rest of his life, so he didn't teach Bone any etiquette at all. Fortunately, Zhao Xu didn't care much about this.

After eating and drinking, Zhao Yan sent Yelu Si back to rest, and then was called away by Zhao Xu because the other party wanted to discuss the alliance with Wanyan's tribe. (To be continued...)
