Time flies by like a white horse. select
The world is like a white cloud and a gray dog.
February fourteenth.
The sky is clear and cloudless.
Juyang City, which had been silent for more than ten days, was finally noisy again.
One after another, some extremely luxurious or antique carriages poured into Juyang City in an endless stream.
It's nearly noon.
All the inns and restaurants in Juyang City that show some quality are already overcrowded. select
There were more than ten times more pedestrians on the streets than usual.
In the past, food stalls that would only appear after the Youshi period started filling the streets early.
Countless salesmen carrying all kinds of strange and weird goods were constantly shuttling among the crowds.
"Your Majesty."
"This is what my prince deliberately reserved for you."
Outside the A-shaped courtyard of Xianju Pavilion.
Yang Xian'an, wearing the official robe of Prince Yan's palace, smiled softly and pushed open the courtyard door. select
And among the several people behind him.
The leader was surprisingly none other than Xu Xilin, the eldest son of the Liao King.
"Your Majesty, please."
Yang Xian'an turned sideways and extended his hand in greeting.
"Lin, thank you His Highness King Yan for your kindness."
"Thank you, Yang's official, for guiding me all the way."
Xu Xilin suppressed the awkward feeling in his heart. select
Then he faced the direction of Prince Yan's Mansion and bowed his hands deeply in thanksgiving.
"Your Majesty, you're welcome."
"If nothing happens, Yang won't bother you too much."
Yang Xian'an smiled and then left.
"Go and see Yang's subordinate officer."
Xu Xilin greeted expressionlessly.
Not long after. select
Yang Xianan's figure completely disappeared in front of the courtyard.
"Your Majesty, Yang Xian'an has left."
The servants of the Prince of Liao returned home from outside.
There seemed to be some hesitation in speaking.
"Speak up if you have something to say."
Xu Xilin glanced at the servant beside him, and then stared at the other courtyard in front of him with a complicated expression.
I especially remember that the last time Xu Yi accepted the concubine, she lived in this villa. select
The memory of last time was obviously not very good.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Youngster just saw it with your own eyes."
"The chief official of Prince Yan's Palace, Chief Lu, personally escorted the Prince of Dai to the outside of the other courtyard."
After hearing this, the servants of the Liao Prince's Palace quickly reported the incident.
"Chief Lu?"
"Xu Jingqi?" Choose
Xu Xilin murmured a few words in a low voice, pondered for a few breaths and then said, "Prepare some food and wine."
"After Lu Wensu leaves, please go to the hospital for a brief explanation."
Upon hearing this, the servants of the Liao Palace quickly responded: "Yes."
The words are over.
Xu Xilin suppressed his anxiety.
He walked in the door with an expressionless face.
Not long after. select
In the dining hall of Xianju Pavilion.
Xu Xilin sat on the Taishi chair with an expressionless expression.
His eyes were looking at the wine cup in front of him without focus.
In his mind, he kept thinking about Xu Yi's intentions and how to deal with Xu Jingqi later.
A few days ago.
Xu Yi revised a letter.
Invite him to Juyang City on February 15th. select
Observe the military competition between the entire army of King Yan's camp.
After receiving the letter, he rushed to the Cunxin Hall of the Liao Prince's Mansion without hesitation.
He discussed this matter with his father Xu Yan, King of Liao.
However, no matter how hard the father and son racked their brains to think and discuss.
But in the end, there was still no clue.
If Xu Yi wants to use this to promote material power.
In order to achieve the purpose of knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger. select
Soon after, King Yan's army went to Mobei, which was undoubtedly more appropriate than a full-army competition.
.
It is also more capable of promoting force and knocking mountains and shaking tigers.
It is said that Xu Yi wanted to take this opportunity to ease relations with Liao.
How many people in the world would choose the excuse of a military competition to ease relations?
Even if Xu Yi used the excuse of marrying his concubine or his wife.
It's far more appropriate than the reason for the military competition.
Think about it. select
The father and son could only assume that this invitation meant that "Xu Yi wanted to take this opportunity to sow discord between Liao and Dai, thereby turning the two kings of Liao and Dai into enemies."
Think about it carefully.
The only thing Xu Yike could use to sow discord between the two places was that Xu Xilin secretly sent someone to assassinate Xu Jingqi last time.
But if this matter is told secretly.
Let’s not mention whether the acting king Xu Qi will believe it or not.
Even if he believed it, at most he would send someone to confront him privately.
At that time, the King of Liao only needs to kill him and refuse to admit it to solve the problem. select
You can even sue Xu Yi for stirring up discord.
In the final analysis, there are no permanent enemies in the world, and there are no permanent enemies.
No one wants to become an enemy with someone of similar strength to themselves.
Unless Xu Yi makes it public that Xu Xilin secretly sent people to assassinate Xu Jingqi.
But this way.
Let’s not mention Liao and Dai for the moment.
Xu Yi will definitely be accused of being unfaithful and charged with "extortion". select
And this is also the fundamental reason why Xu Yan, the king of Liao, so happily agreed to give Xu Yi thousands of horses, thousands of armors and other things.
Think about it.
The King of Liao and his son were as puzzled as Monk Zhang Er was at a loss to understand.
Just when Xu Xilin was thinking hard.
A servant of the Prince of Liao suddenly walked outside the dining hall of the other courtyard.
"Your Majesty."
"The Prince of Dai has arrived outside the courtyard."
The servants of the Prince of Liao reported it.
"good."
When Xu Xilin heard this, he instantly came back to his senses from his chaotic thoughts.
He shook his head slightly as if he wanted to get rid of the messy thoughts in his mind.
After more than ten breaths.
Xu Xilin completely calmed his mind and immediately stood up from the Grand Master's chair.
Go straight to the dining hall. select
...
...
Inside the A-shaped courtyard of Xianju Pavilion.
Xu Xilin and Xu Jingqi met again after more than two months.
"Qi, I have met my brother."
Xu Jingqi bowed his hands in front of him with a normal expression.
"Brother Qi, you're welcome."
"You and I, brothers, haven't seen each other for months."
"Prepare some wine for my brother today."
"You and I, brothers, just don't get drunk today."
Xu Xilin laughed enthusiastically.
"Brother, you are kindly invited."
"My brother should accompany you until you are happy."
Xu Jingqi smiled softly and greeted after hearing this. select
"Please, brother."
"Brother please."
Xu Xilin and Xu Jingqi exchanged a few words.
Finally, they all sat down in the dining hall of the other courtyard.
"Bah bang."
Xu Xilin slapped him lightly.
A group of beautiful waiters came from outside in an instant, holding exquisite dishes in their hands. select
"Long time no see."
"How about you and I have a drink together?"
After all the beautiful waiters disappeared completely in the dining hall of the other courtyard, Xu Xilin picked up the wine cup and invited them.
"My brother is capable of everything."
"Brother please."
Xu Jingqi answered with the wine cup in hand.
It only takes two or three quarters of an hour. select
Xu Xilin and Xu Jingqi, who share the same concerns but have to exchange false greetings, are already drunk.
Full of food.
at the same time.
The exquisite delicacies that had not been touched with chopsticks had been removed from the dining table.
In its place is a tea set full of antique fragrance.
"Brother Qi is here at the invitation of His Highness King Yan."
Xu Xilin poured two cups of tea and said casually.
"Exactly." Choose
"Is it the same for my brother?"
Xu Jingqi's heart trembled, and she secretly said that she finally got to the point.
Then he opened his mouth and answered with no nutritious words.
Don't look at Xu Yan and Xu Xilin, the father and son, who are as puzzled as monk Zhang Er.
Compared with him, Xu Qi and Xu Jingqi, father and son, did not give in too much.
"Please, brother, do you know what His Highness Prince Yan intends to do with this invitation?"
Xu Xilin pushed the lamp to pray, and then got straight to the point. select
"I don't know."
"Brother, do you know?"
Xu Jingqi silently took the tea cup and looked at Xu Xilin with an extremely serious expression.
"As a brother, I don't know."
"It's precisely because I don't know that I feel uneasy in my heart."
"Please pray that I don't know something."
"Years ago, at the wedding of His Highness King Yan."
"My brother was drunk one day and made a deal with His Highness King Yan."
"Now that I think about it carefully, ugh~!"
At the end of the speech, Xu Xilin's face looked like he was about to cry without tears.
As for the business being done.
Xu Xilin would not say anything no matter what.
Xu Jing was left to pray for "heart-to-heart understanding".
"Alas~!"
"Why not, my brother?"
"It's strange that my brother is too soft-hearted."
"After hearing the last wishes of the four soldiers, my heart became extremely panicked."
Xu Jingqi sighed deeply, with helplessness written all over his face.
...
...
After a while. select
Xu Xilin personally sent Xu Jingqi to the door of the other courtyard.
After Xu Jingqi's figure completely disappeared from sight.
The false smile on Xu Xilin's face disappeared instantly.
This is a banquet.
To say there is nothing to gain is not entirely true.
At least he has given a "certain" explanation about the matter of thousands of war horses and thousands of armors.
And the same is true for Xu Jingqi. select
Unfortunately.
I still have no clue about Xu Yi's invitation.
"It seems we can only wait for tomorrow."
Xu Xilin murmured in a low voice, then turned around and returned to the hospital with an expressionless face.
at the same time.
To the east of Juyang City is the residence of Prince Yan.
Xu Yi is sitting in the study of the side hall of Chengyun Hall holding a wolf-hair pen. select
An expression of indifference is slowly sketched on the yellowed rice paper.
With the slight movement of the pen in his hand.
A city that is full of majesty and grandeur is gradually becoming more and more perfect.
I do not know how long it has been.
Maybe an hour or two.
Maybe it's just a quarter of an hour or two.
In the study room of the side hall of Chengyun Hall. select
Xu Yi drew the last line on the yellowed rice paper slowly and quickly.
Then he put down his langhao pen, stood up and stretched his muscles slightly, waiting for the ink to dry.
As for the majestic and majestic city in his paintings.
Rather than saying it is a city, it is better to say that it is a military town with iron walls.
Not long after.
The ink dries thoroughly.
Xu Yi took the picture into his arms, as if he had a great worry. select
The whole body is relaxed.
God knows how many books he read and how many craftsmen he secretly visited for the military town he wrote about.
It finally became that
The map of the female Qi in her arms.
Just when Xu Yi was distracted.
Suddenly, a very familiar sound of footsteps came from outside the study in the side hall of Chengyun Hall.
After more than ten breaths, familiar footsteps stopped outside the study room in the side hall.
"Dong dong dong."
"Sixth Master."
Yang Xianan stood outside the study room in the side hall of Chengyun Hall and gently knocked on the door.
"Enter."
"yes."
After getting Xu Yi's permission.
Yang Xian'an gently pushed open the door and stepped in.
"Sixth Master." Choose
"sit."
"yes."
After Yang Xian settled down in the guest seat.
Xu Yi asked without hesitation: "Have Xu Jingqi and Xu Xilin met?"
Xu Xilin and Xu Jingqi were sent by Yang Xianan and Lu Wensu respectively.
And the Xianju Pavilion is the property of the Zhu family.
Naturally, the whereabouts of Xu Xilin and Xu Jingqi are under Xu Yi's control. select
"Go back to Mr. Liu."
"Xu Xilin invites Xu Jing to pray and drink together."
"It will end soon."
Yang Xian'an heard the words and answered truthfully.
"Can I come to Juyang City during the Xie Gong Festival?"
Xu Yi nodded noncommittally and then asked.
That Thanksgiving Day is no one else’s. select
Surprisingly, he is the head of the Xie family in Yuyang County, a branch of the Xie family in Chen County.
Not long ago, he threatened to move his family away from Yandi.
After Xu Yi recruited a group of people and defeated a group of people.
Nowadays, the Yuyang Xie family is basically defeated.
The head of the family's Xie Gong Festival is naturally no longer as grand and eloquent as in the past.
"Go back to Mr. Liu."
"Xie Gongjie has not arrived at Juyang City yet."
Yang Xian'an responded.
"After entering the city on Thanksgiving Day."
"Place it in the B-shaped courtyard of Xianju Pavilion."
Xu Yi nodded noncommittally, and then gave instructions.
As for the issue of not keeping the appointment during the Thanksgiving Day.
Xu Yi never had the slightest worry.
I even wish I couldn't come to thank you for the public holiday. select
"yes."
Yang Xian'an didn't know what he meant, but he still responded quickly.
"Sixth Master."
"Visitors from Zhuojun, Guangyang, Youbeiping, Zhongshan, Hejian and other places should pay more attention."
Yang Xian'an paused for a moment, then asked.
I don't know if it's because of the military competition.
It was still due to the disaster in Yandi not long ago. select
The only people who poured into Juyang City this time were the princes of Dai and Liao who were invited by Xu Yi.
As well as the aristocratic families and powerful squires from the seventeen cities in the two counties of Yan and Di.
There were also many businessmen from all over the country who came uninvited.
Most of them come from the Dai and Liao places.
As well as Zhuojun, Guangyang, Youbeiping, Zhongshan, Hejian and other places.
In the study room of the side hall of Chengyun Hall.
After hearing what Yang Xianan said. select
Xu Yi shook his head noncommittally.
Then he replied: "There is no need for this. As long as it does not violate the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, let them go."
"But if it violates the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, just make Commander Sun feel safe and bold to take the person."
Yang Xian'an's expression straightened when he heard this, then he stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Yes."
The words are over.
Seeing that Xu Yi had nothing else to do, Yang Xianan immediately resigned and left.
After Yang Xianan's figure completely disappeared from the study in the side hall of Chengyun Hall. select
Xu Yi stood up from the imperial chair and walked slowly to the window sill on one side of the study.
Then he gently pushed open the window sill, letting in the warm sunshine and breeze into the study.
"Dai, Liao, Zhuojun, Guangyang, Youbeiping, Zhongshan, and Hejian."
"What a feast for the gluttonous people."
Xu Yi stood by the window sill on one side of the study room, looking deeply at the blue sky in the distance.
The corners of his mouth were raised slightly, outlining an unintelligible smile.
The smile seemed sarcastic and cold at the same time. select
If anyone sees this, it will send a chill down their spine.
In the first month of Yandi there was thunder, strong winds, and heavy rains.
In addition, several counties in Yuyang County were suddenly hit by heavy snowfall that was rare in a century.
Anyone with a discerning eye can easily see that there will definitely be a great famine in Yan this year.
Therefore.
Merchants from aristocratic families in Dai and Liao had already rushed to the seventeen cities in the two counties of Yan.
Zhuo County, Guangyang County, Youbeiping County, Zhongshan County, Hejian County and other counties are not too far apart. select
The merchants from the aristocratic families inside came to smell the fishy smell one after another.
I want to take advantage of this disaster in Yan to have a good meal.
However.
Whether it is merchants from aristocratic families in Dai or Liao.
Or the merchants from aristocratic families in Zhuojun, Guangyang, Youbeiping, Zhongshan, Hejian and other places.
Little did I know.
Just when they were about to turn into gluttons and open their big mouths to have a good meal. select
A bigger "Taotie" with a better appetite has been waiting in secret for a long time.
This Yandi disaster is certainly a rare gluttonous feast.
but.
Who is a glutton, who is a feast.
Before everything is settled.
Not yet known.
