No way, could it be that after his nephew heard about Lu Siqiao's beauty, he wanted to interfere with her?
If this is the case, then compared to his identity and status, he really can't compete with the future Emperor of Liao.
Even with Lu Siqiao, if she had to choose, she would choose the crown prince of Liao instead of herself, the former prince who was about to lose power.
At this moment, Yelu Angkor had several thoughts in his mind, but he didn't know that he was wrong.
Lu Siqiao was very beautiful, and she captivated the country. But compared to Yelu Hongji, who was keen on power, he was not willing to turn against his imperial uncle for a woman.
Although it is true that he is the future emperor of the Liao Kingdom, isn't this something in the future?
If something goes too far now, it will inevitably attract criticism, which will have a great impact on whether he can successfully inherit the throne.
It is not a cost-effective thing to risk your own future for a woman.
But Yelu Hongji still came, and it was indeed about Lu Siqiao's affairs. The difference was that although he also came to disturb the good affairs of the Fourth Emperor's Uncle, he did so for the safety of the Liao Kingdom.
"Uncle Four Emperors, I am afraid that my nephew is going to snatch someone from your hands. This woman cannot be moved. It is better to let her go first. Just continue to lock her in the post house. As for what to do next, I still have to leave it to Your Majesty.
Come and leave."
After sizing up Lu Siqiao, Yelu Hongji spoke and said something that Yelu Angkor couldn't understand.
He thought that the other party was here to rob someone, but now it seemed that was not the case. He couldn't help but feel that
He asked curiously, "What on earth is going on?"
Zhang Jian, who had been following Yelu Hongji, finally had a chance to speak. He walked up the first half of the road and said, "We have just received news that this woman has a very close relationship with Marquis Wuji of the Song Dynasty. The other party has also passed on the news.
, whoever touches this woman, Wu Jihou will start a war with our Liao Kingdom, and he will still fight to the death, so..."
So what? Zhang Jian didn’t say anything more, but Yelu Angkor understood.
That is, the Liao Kingdom does not want to go to war with Bujihou, so Lu Siqiao's safety must be guaranteed. At least until the truth of the matter is found out, this woman cannot move.
"Buji Marquis, Su Shi? Could it be that we in Daliao, a rich country with abundant talents, would really be threatened by a marquis?" Yelu Angkor said very unhappily.
"Of course I'm not afraid of his threat, but there is no need to cause unwarranted trouble if you do something without investigating it clearly. She is just a woman, and the world is so big. What kind of thing can't be found? What do you think? Tiyin
Sir. Of course, if Lord Tiyin can guarantee that he will lead the troops to destroy Marquis Wuji, then it will be up to you to decide how to deal with this woman."
Zhang Jian replied with a smile.
The other party went on an envoy to Zhou Jun with him and promised himself that after capturing Lu Siqiao, he would ensure that he would return to his position as the third envoy. But when they returned to Shangjing, they did not mention this matter at all.
matter.
For this reason, Zhang Jian once came to the door with a greeting card, but he was blocked outside without even being able to enter the door.
This naturally made Zhang Jian very unhappy. Now that he had a chance to take revenge, he
That's right.
When he heard that he was asked to lead the troops to fight with Su Shi, Yelu Angkor immediately withered. What a joke, the Liao Kingdom sent out troops several times, and I don't know how many generals were replaced. One of them took advantage of Su Shi.
?
Those veterans who have been in the army for many years are not good. He is just an old prince with a good background and no knowledge. How can he beat Su Shi?
The Liao Kingdom was not like the Song Kingdom. They would be afraid and suppressed if they had more powerful generals. Once they had powerful generals, they would let them help expand their territory.
Therefore, the generals who can lead troops in Liao are all real people. But even if they are not Su Shi's opponents, why should I?
I really didn't expect that Lu Siqiao turned out to be Su Shi's woman.
Thinking of this, Yelu Angkor became a little discouraged. If he had known this, what would he have done so hard for?
Yelu Angkor stopped talking, and Yelu Hongji spoke on his behalf, saying to Lu Siqiao, who was tied tightly: "Miss Lu, what happened before is a misunderstanding. Don't worry, you will be in the post house next.
No one will come looking for trouble for you."
He just said this symbolically, without even looking at the corpses of the Liao soldiers and Qiao Yuntian who fell on the ground. Yelu Hongji said to the other Liao soldiers: "Everyone, listen to my order."
, exit the post house, and I will send people to maintain the safety here from now on."
In one sentence, Yelu Hongji took over the protection of the post house. It is conceivable that she is safe for the time being until she decides how to deal with Lu Siqiao's problem.
Of course, there is no need to think about escaping, even if the future emperor of Liao is targeted
If he could still escape, wouldn't he be slapped in front of all the Liao people? Yelu Hongji couldn't afford to lose this face.
After hearing this, all the Liao soldiers retreated, and even the corpses of the Liao soldiers who died in the battle were taken out. Only Zhang Jian was ordered to stay here. Apparently he was ordered by Yelu Hongji to come and clean up the whole place.
of.
"Everyone is dead, but Miss Lu still has to put her own body first. How about I send someone to deliver a good coffin right away?"
Zhang Jian looked at Lu Siqiao, who was untied and fell on Qiao Yuntian's body on the ground, and asked with concern.
"Thank you very much." Lu Siqiao finally replied. She didn't want her master to be buried in the wilderness after his death, so she had no choice but to accept Zhang Jian's kindness.
"You're welcome. This is what we should do. To be honest, I didn't know the relationship between the girl and Bukit Marquis before, so I acted a little recklessly. It was our fault. Now that Bukit Marquis has passed the message, then
Next, please take care of yourself, Miss Lu. Even if you don’t think about yourself, you must also think about the 20,000 Zhou army under your command. By the way, the Zhou army has now attacked the northern border of the Song Dynasty and occupied Wen’an City.
From 20,000 people, it has expanded to the current 50,000 people, and its strength has greatly increased. Those people are still looking forward to the return of you, the young master."
The reason why Zhang Jian stayed was to persuade Lu Siqiao to think better of herself and never commit suicide.
Otherwise, if the news is true, the Liao Kingdom may really provoke a powerful enemy, which would be more of a loss than a gain.
"I know, I won't seek death." Lu
Siqiao said without raising her head.
The master is dead, she wants to live on and find a way to avenge her master.
After hearing this, Zhang Jian felt relieved and said, "Miss Lu is a very open-minded person, so this is the best. Then except that you can't leave here, you can ask for anything you need, and we will try our best to satisfy you."
After a few more words of comfort, Zhang Jian left the post house and went straight to the Yanzhao Palace.
When he saw Yelu Hongji, he asked, "Have you been comforted?"
"Comfort her. She is a sensible person. It seems that she hates Brother Yelu Angkor very much and will not die until she takes revenge."
"Yes." Yelu Hongji nodded to express his understanding, then remembered the rumor and said, "By the way, where did this rumor come from? Have you ever found out clearly?"
Speaking of this issue, Zhang Jian said with a look of self-blame, "I have checked and found out that it was first reported by some little beggars. I arrested a few people and asked them about it. It was also reported by a man wearing a bamboo hat.
I learned from the man that the other party gave the little beggars some money, and they helped spread the word. As for who did this, I still need time to find out."
"This matter needs to be investigated, but it is not the most important thing. What is important is whether the news is true or false. Haha, it is interesting to think about it. Wu Jihou, the most adept at fighting in the Song Dynasty, is actually closely related to the remnants of the Zhou Dynasty from the previous dynasty.
What do you think the Emperor of Song would do if he knew about this?"
Listening to Yelu Hongji's question, Zhang Jian also smiled, "I think the Emperor of Song Dynasty would be very angry. But if he really killed Su Shi, this person would not be so angry."
I have an extremely secret and important trade route in my hands. No one will attack Su Shi until this trade route is found. Besides, I learned from the spies in Bianliang City that Su Shi is now dead.
Bing Wuquan is just an idle person who is supporting the Marquis. This shows that the Emperor of Song Dynasty is already guarding against him. Even if this incident happens, he can't do anything to him. At most..."
"What's the most?" Seeing that Zhang Jian seemed silent, Yelu Hongji asked aloud.
"The most I can do is fine you some money. This Su Shi is very rich. Now the Huaxia Bank he built is the largest bank in the Song Dynasty. The emperor of the Song Dynasty will take advantage of this person if he is short of money. The next punishment must be
Asking for more money will solve the problem. This will actually help the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. So what I mean is that the relationship between Lu Siqiao and Su Shi should not be spread out yet, otherwise it will only benefit others."
"Well, that makes sense. Let's do this for now. Anyway, the hostages are in our hands, and we can completely stop them." Yelu Hongji smiled. Having Su Shi's handle in his hands can at least guarantee that this person will not be killed.
He can easily use troops against the Liao people. If you look at it this way, you will be considered to have made a profit no matter what.
"The king of Yanzhao is wise." Zhang Jian also meant the same thing, and immediately started to flatter him.
"Haha." What came back was Yelu Hongji laughing.
...
Shangjingcheng, Meifu.
After receiving Su Shi's support, Mei Yang spent a lot of money and now he has a firm foothold in Shangjing City. He also bought a small official position and met many Liao officials. But
In order to find out some things that are not too confidential.
He also overheard Lu Siqiao's incident, which can be regarded as a great contribution. On the intercom, Su Shi personally praised Mei Yang and said that he would reward him with a million yuan. The person who gave the money had already moved to the capital.
