On the morning of the next day, Xiao Temo and Liu Liufu, the principal and deputy envoys of the Liao Kingdom, indeed sent someone to offer to continue negotiations...
Su Jin sent someone back with a message: There will be no official business today. If the Liao envoy feels bored, he can take a stroll in Bianliang City to see the scenery of the Song Dynasty and appreciate the prosperity of the country; but he must change into Han clothes.
, to avoid being attacked by the hidden Western thieves and assassins in the city. Your life is at stake, so don't be careless.
Xiao Te finally cursed angrily: "Appreciate your mother's legs! I didn't come to Bianliang for sightseeing and enjoying the scenery."
The Liao soldier who sent the message timidly asked: "My lord, are you just sending the message to Su Jin like this?"
Xiao Temo flew up and kicked him, and cursed: "You're kidding me, right? Believe it or not, I've chopped off your legs. Get out!"
The Liao soldier hurriedly crawled away, thinking to himself: Damn it, how could you ever ask others to negotiate and they will ignore you? If you lose the face of Daliao, you will take it out on us; you will lose all your butts.
, I was forced to take away all the money I had brought with me to play with girls from Song Dynasty. I’m so fucking ashamed.
Xiao Temo walked around and sighed. In the blink of an eye, Liu Liufu was holding a cup of tea and drinking it happily. He was so angry that he glared and cursed: "You should think of a way to ask you to be my deputy."
, you don’t do a damn thing.”
Liu Liufu was awkwardly holding the teacup and drinking, either not drinking or not, and said depressedly: "Master Envoy, you are so furious that it is not a solution. I am thinking about countermeasures. After being scolded by you, I don't dare to speak.
.”
"Don't pretend to be pitiful. This matter is not only related to me. You are also a grasshopper on this rope. If you have any ideas, please tell me immediately."
Liu Liufu put down the tea cup and said: "The official thinks this matter is very simple. Isn't Su Jin unwilling to talk about it? This just shows that our guess yesterday is correct. On the one hand, he is delaying time, and on the other hand, he is confident."
; Think about it, there are heavy troops on the border. Even if he is not in a hurry, how can the Emperor of the Song Dynasty not be in a hurry? This can only be explained by the fact that everyone in the Song Dynasty court is using this procrastination tactic."
"It's useless to say all this? Can't I guess what that guy is thinking? What should I do if I say something useful?"
"Well... if he doesn't come, why don't we have legs? Let's go to his house to block him, catch his people, and tell him face to face, can he still drive us away?"
"Yes, without further ado, let's set off right now." Xiao Te finally started to leave.
Liu Liufu said hurriedly: "Don't be in a hurry, my lord, I'm afraid it won't be good if you go out rashly. Although the boy is lazy, he must do the reminder; it is said that the remnants of the Western thieves are still trying to assassinate us, can we
Be careful."
Xiao Temo said angrily: "We have sent out a hundred and ten people, what can the assassins do to me? You are just a coward, let alone whether there are assassins, even if there are, so what? I am a vegetarian with the mace?"
"
Liu Liufu hurriedly said: "Be cautious in everything. The assassins will not attack head-on. If they hide on the eaves and fire hidden arrows, can you guarantee that they will detect it in time? What if the assassins put some powerful poison on the arrows?
, he could kill us without hurting his vitals, wouldn’t we have died unjustly? It doesn’t matter whether you or I die, the imperial court must have thought that the Song Dynasty had killed us, and would have sent troops to come, wouldn’t it?
Are the new firearms given to the Song Dynasty used as targets? Then it will be difficult for you and me to die in peace."
"It seems to make sense. What do you think we should do?"
"Your Majesty thinks we still have to go out, but we also have a trick. You take off your official uniform, put it on Erhu, who looks exactly like you, and ask him to take your car out; if there is any
As an assassin, he will definitely stay near the hotel and watch. When he sees your car driving out, he will definitely follow you and wait for an opportunity to strike. When these people are lured away, you and I, the little hats in green clothes, will sneak out from the side door, wouldn't it mean that the ghosts are not aware of it? "
"What a good idea. I didn't expect you to have some tricks up your sleeve. Isn't this called luring the tiger away from the mountain?"
"A plan to hide from the sky and cross the sea can also be called a plan to build a plank road to cross Chencang secretly." Liu Liufu shook his head and said.
"Bah, I said that if you tell the tiger to leave the mountain, you will move the tiger to leave the mountain. Don't go against me everywhere. Be careful and I will give you a big mouth."
Liu Liufu had no choice but to follow this rough guy on his errands, which made him suffer as much anger as he could in his life. However, over the past month or so, he had developed the virtue of being submissive and never fighting back when hit or scolded.
The two of them acted according to their plan, and after Xiao Erhu sat in his car and left in a swaggering manner, figuring that Zixuwu's assassin who was nowhere to be followed him, the two of them secretly opened the side door and slipped out of the hotel.
, he hailed a carriage and drove straight to Su Jin's residence in the south of De Sheng Bridge.
But what I didn't expect was that after knocking on the door for a long time, only a young maid in green stuck her head out to ask. After the two explained their purpose, the maid apologized and said: "Two gentlemen, it's unlucky for you two to come here.
The famous actor Song Xiaoxiao is on stage today to perform, and the young master has invited a friend to go to the theater."
Xiao Te stamped his feet angrily, but this bastard boy was leisurely and at ease. He ignored business and ran to listen to the show.
Liu Liufu winked hurriedly, asking Xiao Temo not to impulsively scold his mother. He stepped forward and saluted, "May I ask, young lady, where did your young master go to listen to the opera?"
Xiao Sui'er waved her hand and said: "My young master didn't say where he was going to listen to the play. He only said that Song Xiaoxiao would perform his voice, but he didn't say where he would live. The master is not at home, and it is difficult for the slave to have guests. Please excuse me."
After saying that, he closed the door and bolted it with a bang, almost smashing Liu Liufu's nose.
"Sir, what should I do?" Liu Liufu asked, touching the bridge of his sore nose.
"Look, I have to find him no matter what today. At least I know Song Xiaoxiao's name. Since he is so famous, there must be a lot of people who know him. If we ask all the way, we can find him."
The two of them decided on their plan and turned to leave.
In the crack of the door, the little maid in green peeped at them with big eyes. When she saw them leaving, she turned around and entered the house, muttering to herself: "Young Master's calculations are really accurate. He knew they were coming. That Liao man
There is so much hair on my body. Yesterday I could only see my face. Today I am wearing such narrow clothes that most of my arms and trousers are exposed. They are all covered with black hair. It’s really scary!”
Xiao Temo and Liu Liufu walked out of the alley and onto the street, asking people along the street.
"Brother, do you know where Song Xiaoxiao will be singing today?"
"I don't know, don't block the way. I haven't sold half of the basket of leeks yet."
"..."
"Brother, do you know Song Xiaoxiao, the singer?"
"Song Xiaoxiao? Actor, I listened to Mei Lanqiu's music. That boy pretended to be a woman and looked so pitiful. It really hurts me! It makes my heart itch to see it. You two seem to be in the same camp? Hey, don't leave.
, let’s talk, this big brother has so much hair on his body, he’s really powerful.”
"Get away!"
"Tch, you don't have to be so fierce if you don't like to talk? Look at the black hair on your face, you were caught in the mountains."
"Bao your mother." Xiao Temo raised his fist and struck, Liu Liufu quickly hugged him and dragged him away.
The two of them fought repeatedly, and no one knew what Song Xiaoxiao was doing. They asked all the way from Desheng Qiaotou to Daxiangguo Temple for several streets. Their mouths were so dry that they were burning, and the soles of their feet were hurting.
He didn't even ask why.
Xiao Te couldn't stop cursing, and his words became more and more irritable. He pulled someone and asked stiffly: "Do you know Song Xiaoxiao? Don't talk, just nod or shake your head."
"Neuropathy!"
I was scolded countless times along the way, and suddenly it was like the long-drought seedlings encountering the rain from the sky, or like someone bringing hot and fragrant pork rib soup on a cold winter night in the street.
At the door of the swinging shop, Xiao Temo heard the most beautiful and touching words of the day.
"Song Xiaoxiao? We know her. She's so familiar." The woman who spoke was a woman with painted eyebrows. Her cheekbones were protruding, her face looked like it had been drilled into a pocket, and her mouth was full of the smell of garlic.
Xiao Temo grabbed the woman's hand in surprise, ignoring the smell of garlic, and shouted: "Do you really know her? Where is she?"
"It's right upstairs, sir! Oh, don't squeeze my hand, my bones will be broken by you."
"Oh, I'm sorry. I was too excited. I hope you can forgive me! Is it Song Xiaoxiao who can sing? Is he here?"
"Hehe, of course she can sing. She can sing whatever the guest likes to hear, such as 'Han Chan's Lament to Chang Ting Wan' and 'Xianyun Makes Clueful Flying Stars to Pass on Hate'. If you don't like to hear these, why don't you sing?"
There are other more interesting ones, such as 'Acacia Five Geng Tune' and 'A Straight Purple Bamboo Miao Miao'..."
Xiao Temo said with great joy: "Is she going to give her voice here today?"
"Hee hee, the uncle is really elegant when he speaks, and he... still... dedicates himself. Isn't that what he means? Hee hee! Today, right here on this floor, don't talk about it. I will take you up to see her. Just a question.
, have you brought any money?”
"Money? Oh, I need to buy a ticket."
"Hehe...isn't it just 'buying a piao'? The guest officer looks majestic, but his words are really elegant. Come on, follow me upstairs."
Xiao Temo let out a long sigh of relief and followed the wiggling fat butt inside.
Liu Liufu hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Big...that...brother! It doesn't seem right."
"What's wrong? Come on, we found it easily. This guy must be inside."
Liu Liufu raised his head and looked at the lintel. The three big characters on the big red signboard read "Red Sleeve Moves". This did not look like a serious singing garden, but more like...
Seeing Xiao Temo striding in, Liu Liufu had no choice but to follow him.
