From the chats of some court ladies and eunuchs, I know that Yelu Hongji has already completed the court meeting and is summoning Yelu Yixin, the privy envoy of Zhibei Yuan, in the imperial study room. Song Qingshu thought about hearing what the two of them had to say, so he went to the imperial study room rush to.
Although he has never been to the Royal Study Room of the Liao Kingdom, he has been in and out of the imperial palaces of the Qing Dynasty, the Jin Kingdom, and the Southern Song Dynasty too many times. I am afraid that no one in this world knows the layout of the imperial palace better than him. He roughly guessed the direction of the Royal Study Room and rushed over. We found the right place quickly.
Although the guards in the palace are strict, Song Qingshu now wears the clothes of the servants in the palace, which is deceptive to a certain extent. Relying on the lightness of appearing and disappearing, occasionally when it is unavoidable, he will hypnotize the guards blocking the way with the soul-shifting method, and finally Successfully sneaked into the edge of the imperial study.
Suddenly there was the crisp sound of the teacup falling to the ground, followed by an angry growl: "I sent him the most elite cavalry in the Gongfen army, but in the end, Yeluqi, Xiao Ban and these rebellious officials The thief ran away with his family and his mouth, which really made the whole world laugh at me."
Song Qingshu knew that Yelu Hongji was probably the one who spoke, and judging from the meaning of his words, he should be quite dissatisfied with Xiao Feng. When I fled with Yeluqi and others before, I didn't know that Xiao Feng was chasing them, but later, as the information became more and more, I naturally understood who was chasing them.
"King Xiao has tried his best, but he didn't expect those enemies to be so cunning." Then Yelu Yixin's voice sounded from the room again.
Although it was consoling on the surface, Song Qingshu knew that saying this while Yelu Hongji was furious would not only serve no consoling effect but would add fuel to the fire.
Sure enough, upon hearing his words, Yelu Hongji roared even louder: "I know better than you what level Xiao Feng is on the battlefield. He used to be able to win every battle against strong enemies, but now he can't catch up with some old and weak women and children. Do you believe it?"
Song Qingshu sighed secretly, the voice was really loud, maybe he was worried that the guards outside would hear the leak, so the guards around the imperial study room were all driven away, which made it so easy for him to find an opportunity to eavesdrop here .
"Perhaps King Xiao has some difficulties." Yelu Yixin said hesitantly.
"Difficulties?" Yelu Hongji snorted coldly, "Isn't it because he felt that Yeluqi and Xiao Banhe were wronged, and he went to the palace to intercede for them before, but he didn't dare to say anything after seeing the evidence? , most likely because I still have some dissatisfaction in my heart, that's why I'm obedient and obedient!"
Then I heard Yelu Yixin say: "Actually, if you want to know whether King Xiao is loyal to the king or whether he is obedient to the emperor or vicious, there is a simple way to judge."
"Oh? What's the solution?" Not to mention Yelu Hongji, even Song Qingshu outside couldn't help being curious.
Yelu Yixin said unhurriedly: "According to the latest information, Yeluqi, Xiao Ban and the two tribes fled to the Golden Snake Camp. The acceptance of our traitors by the Golden Snake Camp is an extremely serious provocative act. The emperor can use this From the beginning, I ordered King Xiao to lead an army to attack the Golden Snake Camp, forcing the opponent to hand over Yeluqi and Xiao Banhe."
Song Qingshu was shocked when he heard it, he didn't expect to hear the news about the Golden Snake Camp, and it was such bad news. Even though Yeluqi and Xiao Banhe had expected to suffer revenge from the Liao Kingdom when they took over Yeluqi and Xiao Banhe, at that time he and Zhao Min analyzed that now that Liao has internal and external troubles, at most they will fight with each other, and most likely they will not really develop into The degree of military confrontation.
What's more, the Golden Snake Camp is completely worthwhile in a real fight. After all, the Golden Snake Camp has been recuperating for so long now, and it has no worries about the alliance with the Qing and Song Dynasties. benevolent.
Yelu Hongji obviously wanted to go with him. Hearing this, he frowned and said: "There is no conflict between us and the Golden Snake Camp. In addition, the Qing and Jin countries outside are eyeing each other. If we start a war with the Golden Snake Camp at this time, I'm afraid..."
Yelu Yixin said with a smile: "Your Majesty is worrying too much. Of course, it is not really a war with the Golden Snake Camp, but to test King Xiao's reaction. If he directly agrees, it proves that he is still loyal to His Majesty; but if he It's another push and push..." He didn't finish what he said next, but the meaning was already obvious.
"Wei Wang's plan is very good." Yelu Hongji was overjoyed immediately, and Song Qingshu outside the room was full of complaints. No wonder Yelu Hongji was a famous foolish king in history. This kind of discernment is no one else. After all, even he can see the attack. Can't Xiao Feng, who is a dragon and a phoenix among the people, see the shortcomings of the Golden Snake Camp? It would be a ghost if he agreed to attack the Golden Snake Camp.
While making complaints, Song Qingshu suddenly sensed someone approaching, and hurriedly hid his figure. It turned out that a servant came forward to report: "Report to the emperor, the king of the South Court came to ask for an audience."
"Say Cao Cao and Cao Cao will be here," Yelu Hongji laughed, "Hurry up and tell him to come in." At this moment, Yelu Yixin said, "Your Majesty, it is inconvenient for me to be here, so I will take my leave."
Who knew that Yelu Hongji waved his hand nonchalantly: "No need." After a pause, he also felt that it was inappropriate for Yelu Yixin to stand here to test Xiao Feng, so he waved his hand to make him hide behind the screen.
Song Qingshu shook his head secretly, with Xiao Feng's martial arts, how can he not feel that there is one more person in the room? What is the use of hiding behind a screen.
But soon there was a look of surprise on his face, because he was keenly aware that Yelu Yixin's aura was dropping in a geometric progression. If he hadn't known in advance that he was hiding behind the screen, maybe even he would have ignored it. one person.
"Yelu Yixin is actually a hidden master?" Song Qingshu was naturally surprised, and he could see that Yelu Yixin's martial arts were not ordinary.
At this time Xiao Feng had already entered the imperial study, and told the emperor all the details of chasing Yeluqi, Xiao Banhe and his clansmen before, and at the same time expressed guilt and self-blame for not completing the task.
If he had heard his words an hour earlier, Yelu Hongji might still be angry, but now he has something more to care about, so he casually comforted him a few words before throwing out the questions he had prepared for a long time.
Hearing that he was going to lead troops to attack the Golden Snake Camp, Xiao Feng jumped up from his chair instantly in shock: "Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible! The Golden Snake Camp annexed the Jianghuai area before, and now its power has greatly increased. There are hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers under its command. It can be defeated so easily, not to mention the leader of the Golden Snake Battalion, Song Qingshu, has used his troops like a god, and has created miracles in recent years... "
Yelu Hongji snorted coldly and interrupted directly: "Don't allow others to destroy your prestige. No matter how powerful the surname Song is, it can't be done by a person from the rivers and lakes. Most of those deeds are based on false rumors and cannot be taken as true."
Xiao Feng knew that people who had never met Song Qingshu would mistakenly think his abilities were fake, but only those who had seen him would know how terrifying he was, but Xiao Feng also knew that there was no way to make the emperor understand with a few words, so he had to change his rhetoric: "Not long ago The Southern Song Dynasty sent envoys to invite us to attack the Kingdom of Jin together with the Golden Snake Battalion. The Kingdom of Jin is our life-and-death enemy of Daliao. How can we lose the big because of small things at this time..."
Song Qingshu outside the window sighed secretly, Brother Xiao was really upright, he jumped into the trap set up for him, although what he said was very reasonable, but his prejudice had already been established, how could he listen to it
