Liao Kingdom, Linhuang Mansion, Regent's Mansion

"Report to the prince, Mr. Wanyan Xi is asking for a meeting."

The attendant walked into Yelu Ertu's study, knelt on one knee, looked up slightly at the man wearing a black cotton robe, and standing in front of the map with his hands behind his back, thinking seriously.

"Wanyan Xi?" The man standing in front of the map slowly turned around and slowly walked to the back of the desk and sat down, "What are he going to do?"

"I said I thank the prince for helping me."

"Looking at this, I'm a kind-hearted person!" Yelu Ertu nodded, "Let him come in!"

"yes!"

The attendant responded and turned around and went out. Not long after, he led a young man in a goose yellow brocade robe and walked in.

"The foreign minister Wanyanxi pays homage to the Regent!" The young man saluted Yelu Ertu according to the etiquette of the Liao Kingdom, "Thank you for your help."

"Get up quickly and meet in private, there is no need to be too polite." Yelu Ertu raised his hand and signaled the servant to bring a thick cushion to Wanyan Xi and ask Wanyan Xi to sit down. "Why are the nephew going to thank him in a little while? This seems to be very different between us?"

"The prince and the foreign minister have never met before, so they can believe what the foreign minister said and lend a helping hand to the foreign minister. The prince's noble character makes the foreign minister admire him." Wanyan Xi knelt on the cushion, took the teacup handed to him by the servant, and thanked the servant, "The foreign minister is now in a difficult situation. Not only does the prince not dislike it, but also helps with righteousness. In the future, the foreign minister must thank him again."

"My nephew, I'm so serious! I can only help you with this, and the rest is up to you. I wish you a smooth trip here."

"Thank you, Prince!"

Although Yelu Ertu had a smile on his face, he was shaking his head secretly in his heart. Wanyan Xi had been exiled for many years and had become much smoother. The arrogance in the bones of the Jin people was also clean. Compared with Wanyan Zongcheng, one in the sky and the other underground. Although Wanyan Zongcheng was not in tune with the person, he was also a hard bone and would not bow to others easily, especially the Liao people. The young man in front of him ignored the righteousness of his family and country just to avenge his father and brother. Even if he ascended the throne in the future, it would not be a good thing for the people of the Jin Kingdom.

"Prince!" The servant just now walked in again, "Young Master Nan and Young Master Zhifeng are here."

"Oh, what's wrong today? Are you making an appointment? Everyone has come to my king to meet." Hearing Yelu Nan and Qi Zhifeng coming, the smile on Yelu Ertu's face became vivid, much more vivid, and became more real. He stood up, walked around the desk and walked to the door of the study room. Looking at the two handsome young men walking hand in hand, he raised his voice slightly and said, "The snow is so heavy today. If you two don't stay in the mansion to pack your bags, how could you come to me? Are you here to say goodbye to me?"

"My nephew has seen Uncle Wang!" Yelu Nan, who was in the blue robe, and Qi Zhifeng, who was in the big red robe, saluted to Yelu Ertu. After saluting, Qi Zhifeng smiled, "This trip to Xia Kingdom will take two months to go back and forth. I can't see Uncle Wang for so long. I feel very disappointed. I will disturb Uncle Wang before leaving Linhuang Mansion. I hope Uncle Wang will not be annoyed!"

"Oh, I'm here to see me?" Yelu Ertu leaned over to look at Qi Zhifeng and slapped him on the shoulder. "Boy, do you think uncle will believe this kind of high-sounding words? You two are afraid that it's not uncle and me, but the chef in the uncle's house?"

"Look, it was exposed in an instant." Qi Zhifeng looked at Yelu Nan beside him with aggrieved expression on his face, and said hummingly, "This is all Brother Nan's bad idea. If Uncle Wang wants to punish him, he will be punished."

"Yes, it's all my brother's fault and it has nothing to do with Brother Feng." Yelu Nan pinched Qi Zhifeng's face, swept away the snowflakes falling on his shoulders, and smiled at Yelu Ertu, "I am really worried about Uncle Wang. Uncle Wang doesn't care about anything when he gets busy. We also want to explain to the people in the mansion to keep a good eye on Uncle Wang, eat at the right time, and go to bed on time. If we come back from Xia Kingdom and Uncle Wang becomes thinner, we will punish them."

"Brother Nan is right, I need to punish you!" Qi Zhifeng added, "and I am thinking about the whole roasted lamb in Uncle Wang's mansion. Before I left, I will take a few more delicious foods. Uncle Wang, won't he dislike us, right?"

"It's the truth to come and eat and drink, right?" Yelu Ertu reached out to sweep the snowflakes on their bodies, "It's cold outside, come in and talk!"

"Thank you Uncle Wang!" Qi Zhifeng looked up and saw Wanyan Xi standing behind Yelu Ertu and saluting them. He raised his eyebrows slightly, "Oh, isn't this Mr. Wanyan? Why are you here to come to Uncle Wang today? Are you here to say goodbye to Uncle Wang?"

After saying that, without waiting for Wanyan Xi to answer, Qi Zhifeng took Yelu Nan's arm and followed Yelu Ertu into the house. Yelu Nan didn't even raise his eyelids and crossed straight past him, as if he didn't see this person.

"If you have something to do, the foreign minister will not disturb you. The foreign minister will take his leave!"

"Then I won't keep you anymore, go slowly!"

Seeing Wanyan Xi leave the study, the servant removed all the cushions and teacups he had sat on, and replaced the two young masters with new ones.

"What are he doing? Uncle Wang did not allow him to follow our mission to meet the Jin envoy, and gave him the identity of a deputy envoy?" Qi Zhifeng held the hand stove and looked at Yelu Ertu in confusion, "Is it... he still thinking about asking us to send troops to help him attack the Jin Dynasty?"

"He is here to thank me. Thank you for helping me and helped him in a critical moment."

"Fake false!" Yelu Nan sneered and handed over his and Qi Zhifeng's cloak to his servants. "The world often says that the Xia people are cunning. In fact, when it comes to cunning, there is a difference in appearance. If the Jin people recognize the second place, no one dares to be the first. The Xia people respect the promise and will do whatever they promise, no matter how difficult it is, and they will not repent easily. It is a matter of hand. However, the Jin people are different. The contract made by white and black can be said to be turned against each other and have no idea what integrity is. On the surface, respectful and grateful, they are waiting to stab someone behind their backs. They have done a lot of such things."

"Brother Nan is right. In my opinion, Wanyan Xi is such a person. Uncle Wang should not be confused by his appearance."

"Oh, I haven't seen each other for a few days, and Xiaofeng has grown up, and he will always behave like this. Don't worry, Wanyan Xi's Taoism is still shallow. He chose to settle accounts with Wanyan Zongcheng at this time, which is the best way to do it." Yelu Ertu ordered his servants to go to the kitchen and say, "The disaster in the Jin Dynasty is serious, and the people are living in poverty. If he is really willing, he should not instruct Wanyan and Wen and Wanyan Zongcheng to fight against each other. The people's hearts are more important than the support of any noble. Unfortunately... looking at him, he should still have the intention of borrowing troops." Yelu Ertu looked at Qi Zhifeng, "Your father strongly opposed it, saying it was a thankless thing. In the end, he might end up with a situation where people are not inside and outside."

"Uncle Wang, it's not possible, but it's certain. Who are the Wanyan family? Don't you know? Ingratitude, they are the best way to destroy bridges across the river!" Qi Zhifeng curled his lips, "From the geographical point of view, Xia Kingdom is closer to Jin Kingdom. Why didn't Mr. Wanyan go to Jiaping Pass to ask Shen Shuai for help, and had to travel thousands of miles to Linhuang Mansion? Besides, Wanyan Zongcheng and Wanyan Ping have caused trouble for Shen Shuai in recent years. If anyone hates their father and daughter to the core, it should be Chen Haolin? If Wanyan Xi asked him for his head, he wouldn't be rejected by Chen Haolin, right?"

"He didn't ask Shen Shuai because of his petty intentions. He was afraid that the Shen family army would take the opportunity to occupy Yiqing Mansion, and he was afraid that he would lead the wolf into the house. In the end, the bamboo basket was empty." Yelu Nan put a piece of milk into Qi Zhifeng's tea cup, and also put a piece for himself, stirred it with a small spoon, and said, "But he doesn't think about it. Isn't it the same result for lending me Liao army? Are we stupider than Xia people?" Yelu Nan handed the milk tea he prepared to his mouth and took a sip. "Uncle Wang, this time we are not just eating and drinking, but we have something to tell Uncle Wang."

"Oh? What's the matter?"

"Sister Wang heard from there that two months ago, Xiao Liu took the initiative and assassinated General Chen Cha in broad daylight. He was arrested by the Shen family army and was executed publicly today."

"Xiao Liu is just a brainless person. He always wants to avenge Xiao Chongtian. He didn't think about whether Xiao Chongtian would be willing to find someone to avenge him? If I remember correctly, then Xiao Chongtian's thoughts on General Chen were not simple!" Yelu Ertu sneered, "I sent Xiao Liu there and expected that it would be today, but I didn't expect that he was so brave. How is General Chen's condition? Is he seriously injured?"

"What's the specific situation? Sister Wang didn't explain in detail, but it's been two months, so it should be fine, right?" Yelu Nan sighed, put down the teacup, and looked at Yelu Ertu, "My nephew has always wanted to ask Uncle Wang, Uncle Wang is talking to General Chen..."

"Why do you like to think in a wrong way at such a young age?" Yelu Ertu waved his hand, "Although we and Xia Kingdom are hostile, they will not be forever hostile. If we encounter a common enemy, there are opportunities to join forces. Therefore, you young people should also establish a good relationship and communicate more. Don't think about you hit me and I hit you, right?"

"Is Uncle Wang's words sincere?" Qi Zhifeng laughed out loud, "We communicate with the Shen family army? Aren't we just a sheep entering the tiger's mouth?"

"Hey, we can be evenly matched with them. The word "Go to the Tiger's Mouth" is inappropriate."

Qi Zhifeng raised his eyebrows, and did not answer Yelu Ertu's words. Following Yelu Nan's previous words, "There is another more important thing. Not long after Xiao Liu was arrested, the Shen family army confiscated a pharmacy shop. Sister Wang said that it was opened by a spy from the Jin Kingdom. This time the spy from the Jin Kingdom was also executed, but the notice only wrote a detailed work on the execution of the Liao Kingdom."

"Let's take the blame for the Golden Man?" Yelu Ertu raised his eyebrows, "Who came up with the idea?"

"I don't know." Yelu Nan and Qi Zhifeng shook their heads at the same time, "It has been more than two months since Shen Cha was stabbed in Jiapingguan City. The news from Sister Wang is limited, and we don't know many inside stories and details. However, the Shen family army came here specially. The reason for copying the medicine shop was that they took advantage of General Chen's serious injury to lay something in her medicine and fell on us. Although the truth was found in time, the news that the Liao people assassinated in front and poisoned in the future had spread in the city, and they could only make mistakes."

"The person who revealed the news also said that Xiao Liu and the others could not die, but if the Jin people come like this, they will die even if they don't die. Otherwise, it will be difficult to calm the public's anger." Qi Zhifeng grabbed a handful of dried fruits and chewed them slowly, "Shuai Chen specifically told us what does it mean?"

"I want to tell us that the Jin people are unkind and unrighteous. They must keep a certain distance from them. They must not be too close, otherwise they will be injured." Yelu Ertu shook his head, "This kid Chen Haolin is much more energetic than his. After General Chen was assassinated, he held the handles of the Liao and Jin countries in his hand in case of emergency." Yelu Ertu looked at Yelu Nan and Qi Zhifeng, "You can hide dragons and tigers in Jiaping Pass. You must not act rashly when you go. This time, don't spend the night in the city as usual. After seeing Shen Shuai, leave quickly."

"Didn't Uncle Wang just say that he wants to communicate more with them?"

"That's what you're going to do in the future, not now."

"Yes, my nephew understands!"

"Don't go to see your sister Wang, and don't try to contact her." Yelu Ertu sighed, "Now Jiaping Pass City is under strict security, and the eyes of the spies from the Shen family's army are everywhere. If you are not careful, your sister Wang's hard work for so many years will be in vain. Maybe you will have to throw your life there."

"Yes!" Yelu Nan nodded, "Even if he saw it, he would pretend that he didn't know him."

"That's right, and..." Yelu Ertu said with a stern face, "Look at Xiao Fengqi for me, every move he makes must be within your sight. He is not allowed to speak nonsense or do something wrong. Otherwise, you have the right to deal with him on the spot!"

"Yes, my nephew understands!"
