    "The envoy of Privy Wang and the envoy of Liao Kingdom have arrived!" "Whoa!" A young and strong military general pulled out his sword and raised his arm, and three neat rows of armored soldiers raised their cherry guns at the same time. The military appearance was very neat.  Wang Pu walked side by side with Xiao Siwen in front, followed by Yang Gun, Lu Duoxun and others.  As the group walked to the door, they heard Xu Jun's military music being played by blows and drums.  A group of people crossed the phalanx and saw a large group of armored cavalry guarding a carriage waiting in the middle of the street.  Du Chenggui, a general of the Forbidden Army, fell off his horse, clasped his fists and said, "Du Chenggui, the commander of the inner palace of the last general, has been ordered to escort the Liao envoys back home." Wang Pu said, "General Du must not be careless." "The order is given!" Du Chenggui said.  .  A Xu Junwufu opened the wooden door on the side of the large carriage and said, "Please envoys and deputy envoys of the Liao Kingdom to get in." Without saying a word, Xiao Siwen got on the carriage.  Not long after, I heard shouting from outside: "Let's go!" Before that, more guards were added inside and outside the hotel, with countless layers of guards guarding the city. The entire Chanzhou City was defended like an iron barrel, because Emperor Xu was in Chanzhou  .  But now Xiao Siwen opened the corner of the carriage curtain, and the carriage was surrounded by iron cavalry.  " Xiao Siwen didn't feel that he had any chance of trouble in Xu State. The only thing he could do was to follow the arrangements of Xu State officials step by step. In fact, he did so.  After the cavalry crossed the pontoon bridge of the Yellow River, Xiao Siwen looked at the direction of the sun and the route of travel, and believed that the cavalry would first pass through the Hebei and Western Liaoning corridors and enter the Daliao border from the Western Liaoning area.  Along the way, we stayed at the inn when it got dark.  Almost all the main roads in the Xu Kingdom were connected by post roads and post houses. It was said that these were important bridges to ensure that the imperial court controlled the entire country.  One night when everyone stayed in the post house, another deputy envoy went to the toilet, and only Xiao Siwen and Yang Gun were left in the guest room.  Xiao Siwen then asked in a low voice: "General Yang went to Japan from Korea last time, and then escaped from the Shijian battlefield alone, and found a way to return to Daliao. I haven't asked General Yang how he did it." Yang Gun  He was stunned for a moment and then advised in a deep voice: "Mr. Xiao has not yet reached that stage. Xu State's use of actors to humiliate and frame Mr. Xiao cannot be used as evidence for the nobles to accuse Mr. Xiao in the court The lower official originally thought, Mr. Xiao  There must be a countermeasure." Xiao Siwen nodded seriously: "I do have concerns, but it is not a bad thing to think about the worst case. The only person I can really trust now is General Yang." Yang Gun sighed.  He took a breath, with a look of unhappiness on his face, "It's a narrow escape, life is worse than death But it's okay to be a lower official. No matter how difficult it is, I always think about it, that is, the hard days are only temporary, and as long as I get back  You can escape from the dire straits in Daliao" When Xiao Siwen heard this, the muscles on his cheeks twitched slightly, but he still said without hesitation, "General Yang will have the opportunity to talk more about his experience." He stopped at the inn along the way.  When the deputy envoy went to the toilet or took a bath, Xiao Siwen asked Yang Gun about his escape experience and route.  Du Chenggui, a military general of the Xu State, brought a group of Liao people to the Daling River, where people from the Liao State were already waiting to greet them.  Du Chenggui successfully handed over the Liao envoy and returned.  At this time, Yang Gun and others learned that the Wangzhang army had easily put down the rebellion of the Song and Yue kings and returned to Shangjing.  Now everyone's destination is to go to Beijing.  Everyone rode back to Beijing and arrived at the familiar capital within a few days.  The atmosphere in Shangjing was very strange. No one paid attention to Yang Gun for a while. The palace hall seemed to be busy dealing with the rebellionthe rebellion in Shangjing and the rebellion of Zhenzhen giving birth to a girl.  Yang Gun found a special person in Beicheng¡¯s tent that night: Xiao Abuti.  Abudi is Xiao Siwen's confidant. When they both worked under Xiao Siwen's account, Yang Gun knew him, but the relationship was not close.  So Abadhi was a little surprised by Yang Gun's visit tonight.  "Crack!" As the sky lit up, there was a sound of thunder in the rain. Summer is the season with the most rainfall on the grassland.  Yang Gun took off the straw hat on his head, bent down and walked into a tent.  The sound of rain hitting the tent was very close, and there was a "swishing" sound all around.  "It's about the Yang family." Abadhi looked at Yang Gun doubtfully.  Yang Gun put his hand on his chest and bowed without making a sound.  After a moment, Yang Gun straightened up, took two steps forward, and said in a deep voice: "I came today to tell General Abadi that Gao Xun and others are plotting to assassinate Duke Xiao." "Huh?" Abuti's eyes were big.  For a few minutes, I stood there still a little confused.  Yang Gun said: "Have you heard about the humiliation of Duke Xiao in the Xu Kingdom?" Abadi nodded stiffly, and then mused: "After the assassination of the late emperor (Yel¨¹jing), Gao Xun and others responded to Duke Xiao both internally and externally.  Originally one of our own, ?"At that time" Yang Gun sneered and said, "It's precisely because he used to be Xiao Gong's man that he can't wait now.  " "Why?  "Abadi asked out loud. Yang Gun said: "So that we can clear the relationship with Duke Xiao!  Duke Xiao's current situation is no different from that of a national traitor, and there is almost no risk in killing him at this time.  Duke Xiao was unable to protect himself and could not fight back, and no one in the court stood up for a national thief.  " Yang Gun suddenly stretched out his hand and patted Abadi's wet shoulder, causing Abadi to tremble unintentionally. Yang Gun came close to his ear again and whispered, "When Mr. Xiao fell, his people  What's the end?  Gao Xun's move was the only way out, so he was in a hurry.  General Abadhi thinks again.  " After saying that, Yang Gun turned around and was about to leave. Abadi said in a deep voice: "Why did General Yang tell me this?  " Yang Gun turned around and said: "General Abadi is probably the only person around Duke Xiao who can be trusted, and Duke Xiao is still kept in the dark My words can only go so far.  "It was raining heavily at night. Xiao Siwen's second daughter came to Xiao Mansion in the rain. Seeing that her daughter was soaked to the skin, Xiao Siwen hurriedly said: "Why are you going out so late? Go and change clothes quickly.  ¡± Mrs. Xiao was unwilling, and couldn¡¯t wait to cry with tears and snot, ¡°Xi Yin (her husband) did the wrong thing because he was instigated and deceived by others, especially Taizong¡¯s son King Yue (Yelu Bishe), because  He couldn't protect himself, and his strength was not enough, so he slandered Xiyin and insisted on forcing Mr. Laf to go into the water" Xiao Siwen was already upset when he heard this, and said rather impatiently: "It's just a rebellion, but we failed!  What else can a father do now?  "My daughter Lihua begged with rain: "Now the Great Khan listens to Yelu Xiezhen in everything.  My father had a close relationship with Yelu Xiezhen, so I asked my father to ask Yelv Xiezhen for help, and for the sake of the clan, let the Khan open his eyes.  " Xiao Siwen almost vomited blood when he heard this. At this time, he saw his daughter "plopping" on her knees on the ground, looking very miserable and sad: "If the father does not agree, my daughter will kneel and die here!"  " Xiao Siwen's eyebrows were almost furrowed together, but when he heard Yelu Xiezhen, his brows gradually relaxed a little, and he paced back and forth in the hall in a trance. "My father promised you to go see Yelu Xiezhen.  "Xiao Siwen suddenly said happily. "Really?  "The daughter immediately wiped away her tears. Xiao Siwen said anxiously: "As a father, I will go tonight.  " Mrs. Xiao got up from the ground and chased after Xiao Siwen. Xiao Siwen asked someone to prepare a carriage, but could not stop her daughter, so she had to go out with the carriage. They took the carriage in the rain and arrived in front of Yelv Xiezhen's house. Xiao Siwen said: "  You are soaked all over, how can you be so cool to see someone like this? Waiting here, seeing your father go to see Yelu Xiezhen with your own eyes, why are you worried?  "Mr. Xiao said: "Father must convince him.  " Xiao Siwen then asked his servant to knock on the door. In the sound of rain, a reply to report came vaguely from the door. After waiting for a long time, the corner door opened, and the person inside said: "I have invited Mr. Xiao.  " Both Xiao Siwen and his daughter showed some relief. Xiao Siwen walked in alone and was taken to a living room by the servants of the house. He saw Yelu Xiezhen sitting inside and waiting. Now Yelu Xiezhen didn't even have the etiquette to come out of the door to greet him.  Yes, but being willing to see Xiao Siwen is a great honor and a reminder of old friendship. ¡°Alas!  Mr. Xiao" Yelu Xiezhen sighed and shook his head continuously. Xiao Siwen stepped forward and bowed, and said solemnly: "Xu Guo is just for revenge!  There is no negotiation and sincerity.  Yelu Xiezhen continued to shake his head and said: "Mr. Xiao is half right. Blacksmith Guo is indeed taking revenge, but he still wants to negotiate peace."  " "How can you see it?  Since you value the alliance, how can you publicly humiliate and frame the Liao envoy?  "Xiao Siwen emphasized that those actors were making false accusations. He did not dare to threaten Yelu Xiezhen with his involvement in some conspiracies. It would be extremely unwise to make Yelu Xiezhen feel threatened at this time! Yelu Xiezhen said: "Deputy Ambassador  When he sent the alliance back to China, he did not know that Duke Xiao was humiliated. This shows that Blacksmith Guo first completed the alliance and then took revenge. The order of priority is very obvious.  In addition, I have thought about Blacksmith Guo many times. If Xu Guo and Daliao continue to fight, there will be no benefit to them at all Of course, there will be no benefit to Daliao either.  " Xiao Siwen pondered for a moment and said: "I am worried that we will fight against Xu and Goryeo in the east and west at the same time.  As long as the Liao army quells the Jurchen rebellion in the east and defeats the Goryeo army, it can completely tear up the alliance because Xu State humiliated the Daliao envoys first!  " Yelu Xiezhen immediately shook his head, looked sternly into Xiao Siwen's eyes and said: "I have long advocated the national policy of harmonious coexistence with Xu State, and I still have no intention of changing this opinion.  This strategy has nothing to do with personal gains or losses, it is for the fortune of the Liao Kingdom!  I really don¡¯t want to see the day when the Khitan people want toAbandoning the foundation established by Taizu, they fled to Mobei and became a nomadic tribe!  " Just when Xiao Siwen was about to speak, Yelu Xiezhen immediately said in a strong tone: "Although there are some unhappy things about this alliance, it has finally taken a substantial step.  Mr. Xiao, I used to respect your loyalty to the Liao Dynasty and your far-sightedness and foresight.  But now you actually care about personal gains and losses, regardless of the interests of the country. I feel very disappointed.  " Xiao Siwen was speechless when he heard this, and could barely stand on his feet. He was even more angry: Damn it! One day when your life is in danger and you are desperate, I hope you can still speak in such a selfless and thoughtful tone! As for my daughter's request  Xiao Siwen did not forget about it, nor did he mention it 8.
