Under Duan Zhongping's frank explanation, some of Weiming Yeguang finally believed that this wealthy businessman from the Song Dynasty was really a friend of the Xixia people.
"Then I dare to ask Mr. Duan, do you know where the envoy led by my deputy envoy to Xixia is now?"
"I actually asked someone to inquire about this matter, and they are still there in Xiuwu County, Huaizhou, on Hebei West Road.
I heard that it was precisely because you left without permission from the Dutong Army that the local officials were furious and put the envoy under house arrest. "
This news immediately made Taina Yeguang's face darken. He originally thought that he would be able to get reinforcements, but in the end, he was still trapped in Xiuwu County where he quietly left.
Duan Zhongping looked at the change in Taina Yeguang's expression and decided to take the initiative to tell another piece of news in order to increase his favorability.
"I have heard some rumors before about the Liao Kingdom's mission to the Song Dynasty. It is said that the Liao Kingdom intends to make the decision for the Xixia Kingdom.
This is why we sent envoys here in the hope that the Song Dynasty can call off the war with Xixia, shake hands and make peace, and also return the Xixia city and fortress that we have occupied over the past few years, as well as the people and prisoners of war..."
"Is the Liao envoy really here?"
Weina Yeguang couldn't help but look happy, and grabbed Duan Zhongping's arm and said urgently.
"I would like to ask Mr. Duan if you can help someone pass the news to the Liao envoy."
Weina Yeguang's words made Duan Zhongping look troubled and explained to him.
"It's not that I don't want to help, but the envoys from the Liao Kingdom have already left Bianliang, Tokyo for several days."
"???" Weina Yeguang looked at Duan Zhongping in confusion, and after a long time he shook his head in disbelief.
"Impossible, I don't believe it. The Liao Kingdom has promised my lord to make decisions for Xixia."
"This envoy has not yet met with Envoy Nariao, how could he leave Tokyo?"
"Don't be anxious, Commander-in-Chief, just listen to what I have to say..."
Duan Zhongping patiently explained to Nawei Mingyeguang that after the Liao Formation envoys arrived in Bianliang, Tokyo.
The letters of credence submitted to the Song Dynasty court did not involve the affairs of Xixia at all.
But they only negotiated with the Song Dynasty about currency import and the book trade.
Moreover, the Song Dynasty had already reached a contract with the Liao Kingdom, and the Liao envoy Xiao Fengxian naturally retired with success.
This kind of news made Xixia, who had been enclosed in the post house these days, as if he was deaf and blind, dumbfounded.
"This, how could this become like this? The Liao Kingdom has clearly promised my lord to stand for Xixia.
How could they be so despicable, go back on their word, and take their Liao Kingdom's trust and promise for nothing? "
In front of me, the Xixia envoy was extremely corrupt. He was furious and cursed for a long time.
Duan Zhongping was horrified to see it, but the two "personal followers" standing at the door exchanged silent glances and continued to maintain a calm posture.
#####
"How could they be like this? Then wouldn't my trip have been in vain?"
Weina Yeguang, who was so angry that he wanted to draw a knife and stab someone, finally controlled his temper, and his eyes fell back on the wealthy businessman of Song Dynasty again.
Regardless of whether what he said is true or false, since he can activate his money ability, bribe the guards and enter this inn.
Then maybe, I will have the opportunity to quietly leave the inn and go to Tokyo to find out the news in person.
In this way, the authenticity can be known at a glance.
After thinking about this, Weiming Yeguang turned his head and showed a pleasant smile towards Duan Zhongping...
#####
"This... the commander-in-chief, it's not that I don't want to help, it's that I have already tried my best and spent a lot of money to convince General Xu.
If the capital army wants to let me get you out of this post house, General Xu will not dare to agree no matter how much money he spends. "
"After all, you are the envoy of the Xixia Kingdom. If something goes wrong in Tokyo, General Xu will lose his head, not to mention he will be an old man, and his wealth and life will be..."
Seeing Duan Zhongping in front of him shaking his head like a drum, Weiming Yeguang narrowed his eyes and looked at the wealthy businessman from Song Dynasty with twinkling eyes.
After a long while, the tall man Yeguang showed a very kind smile, but at this moment, he was not wearing a hat, and the green bald head exposed complemented the oil lamp.
"Then I dare to ask Mr. Duan, why did you put so much effort into entering this post house just to meet me?"
"Of course not. I heard that the Dutong Army was under house arrest here, and I once thought about working for the Dutong Army."
"However, the Song Dynasty and Xixia are still hostile. Even if the old man dissipates all his wealth, I am afraid it will be difficult to solve the problem of the capital and army being under house arrest here."
"I think I have been friends with Fei Tingdu Commandery for many years. His colleagues are under house arrest in the Song Dynasty. Naturally, I can't just sit idly by and ignore it..."
"...Firstly, come to visit and see if the Dutong Army and your men are well. Secondly, if the Dutong Army has any news that it wants to convey to the outside world..."
Looking at this treacherous and slippery wealthy businessman from the Song Dynasty, Taina Yeguang calmed down and naturally understood what this guy was up to.
Obviously he wanted to spend a small amount of money to do big things, so he bribed the leader of the Song army who was guarding the post house to show his favor.
If you borrow his hand to ask for help, it would be equivalent to owing this person a favor.
If he goes to Xixia to do business again in the future, how can he not take care of him?
The problem is that although I understand his purpose, I can only use him.
However, Weiming Yeguang really didn't trust the authenticity of what this treacherous and cunning businessman from the Song Dynasty said.
"Old Zhang Duan, if you have no way to get me out of the post house, then it shouldn't be difficult to take my men out, right?"
"Ah, this..." Duan Zhongping's eyelids twitched and he thought about it for a long time before speaking.
"Capital Commander, it is not difficult for me to bring your men out, as long as the money and silk are in place..."
"However, I still have to let the old man do some planning. After all, these people are not so easy to get rid of."
Seeing Duan Zhongping's distressed expression, Weiming Yeguang still didn't understand that this guy was clearly selling out.
"If Mr. Duan can help me, Wei Ming Yeguang, I will definitely remember it in my heart. If I can return to Xia safely, I will definitely report to the Lord of Daxia.
In the future, Duan's trading company would like to enter Xia trade. I dare not say anything else, but at least it can ensure a smooth journey for Duan's Trading Company in Daxia..."
Before Weiming Yeguang finished speaking, he saw the undisguised joy on Duan Zhongping's face, haha...
Sure enough, these profiteers would not dare to do any business as long as they could make money.
