Taiping Inn

Yao Mu Huhan asked, "What's your name from the Central Plains?"

Li Xuandu wanted to answer: "The surname is Qin, and his name is Xuan Ce", but then he thought about it, afraid that Yaomu would suddenly sweat and then understand it as "Qin's double name Xuan Ce", so he had to answer concisely: "My name is Qin Xuan Ce."

Yao Mu Huhan obviously heard of the Qin family's name, narrowed his eyes and said, "Are you from the Qin family? I heard that there is a beautiful girl in the Qin family. What is your relationship with her?"

Li Xuan said without hesitation: "That's my cousin."

Yao Mu Huhan sighed: "I heard rumors recently that the beautiful girl is about to get married, is it true that she married a big man from the East China Sea?"

If Liaodong can know the news about Lao Khan, then it is reasonable for the Golden Centre to know the news about Liaodong. Li Xuan was not surprised and said, "It's true."

Yao Mu suddenly sighed, "I wonder if I can see with my own eyes what the East China Sea looks like when I am alive? I also heard that there is a large island on the sea called Fenglinzhou. I wonder if I can set foot in Fenglinzhou when I am alive?"

Before, when Yao Mu Hu Khan mentioned Qin Su, Li Xuan could not say how angry he was. He just thought that this future Khan was a person who loved beauty. Now, after hearing what he said, he realized that this person was actually a person with great ambition. . You should know that from the Jin Tent to the East China Sea, the entire Wei Dynasty is separated by the middle. If this person wants to see the East China Sea and to climb to Fenglin Prefecture, he must penetrate the entire Wei Dynasty.

Li Xuan didn't say anything.

Yao Mu Huhan made a gesture to Wushu: "Send a bowl of wine to the guests who come from afar."

Wushu stood up and left.

Li Xuan didn't refuse. His dislike of drinking does not mean that he is not good at drinking, and he has "full leakage" and is not afraid of medicinal and wood sweating suddenly and doing anything in the wine.

After a while, Wu Shu turned around, held two stacked large green jade bowls in his left hand and a wine jar in his right hand.

Li Xuan glanced at the big bowl, afraid it could be worth the capacity of a small wine pot.

Wu Shu poured two bowls of wine and handed them to Li Xuandu and Yao Mu Hu respectively.

Yao Mu Kukang raised the wine bowl: "I know you people in the Central Plains are not accustomed to the horse milk wine from our golden tent, so this bowl of wine is a spirit from Jinzhou."

Li Xuan smiled, raised the large green jade bowl and drank it all, and then turned the bottom of the bowl down to show that there was no left.

"Good man." Yao Mu Han praised and drank it all in one go, but his posture was much bolder than Li Xuan, and a lot of wine spilled on his chest and beard.

Yao Mu suddenly sweated and wiped the wine stains with his sleeves, saying, "After drinking, you are friends, friends should be sincere."

Li Xuan knew that the seemingly reckless and generous Yao Mu Huhan was about to get to the point. After he looked at Yue Li beside him casually, he nodded and said, "This is natural."

After drinking a bowl of wine, Yao Mu had already woken up completely. He no longer squinted his eyes, stared at Li Xuandu, and said slowly: "Since you have come to the royal court to meet the old man with the secret order of Zhao Zheng, the governor of Liaodong. Khan, then can you tell me how Zhao Zheng should reply to Lao Khan?”

Li Xuan was not in a hurry to answer. He had already learned the two conditions offered by Lao Khan from Yueli Farewell. He also knew that Zhao Zheng had rejected them all, but he, a fake envoy, could have pretended to agree to part of Zhao Zheng's promise, and so on. Get the trust from the person who is in the gold tent. After pretending to be pondered for a while, Li Xuandu said, "Old Khan's first condition is to cede the land and surrender. This is something that he cannot agree. Whoever promises is the eternal sinner of the Central Plains. The master of the ministry cannot bear this crime. .”

Yao Mu suddenly laughed and said, "You Central Plains people have a saying that you ask for a price to pay back the money. If you don't offer an unacceptable condition, how can you show the sincerity of another condition? Since Zhao Zheng has sent you to meet the old man. Khan, I think he agreed to the second condition, that is, to form a brotherly alliance."

Li Xuandu said: "Mr. Master Wutang means that the second condition can be negotiated slowly."

There are many differences between them, but Yao Mu Huhan did not really ask for peace. He just didn't want to have an accident at this critical moment to disrupt his plan. As for the peace talks, it's better to agree directly, slowly It’s okay to negotiate, as long as the relationship between the two sides can be eased and no longer a war breaks out in a short period of time, that is enough.

After hearing Li Xuandu say this, Yao Mu suddenly sweated without any suspicion, and the smile on his face became stronger and stronger: "Very good, this is a big deal, so naturally we need to discuss it in detail."

After saying that, he looked at Yue and parted: "Old Yue, you have made merits. I want to reward you. Tell me, what do you want?"

Yue Libi lowered her head, making people unable to see the expression on her face clearly, and she said, "I dare not take credit for it."

Li Xuandu also looked at Yueli Farewell. Now only the two of them know the truth. Without the Central Plains messenger, everything is a scam. If the matter is revealed, the fate of Yueli Farewell can be imagined. So now even if Li Xuan has taken back the sword energy from Yue Libye's body, Yue Libye will not expose Li Xuandu's identity. The two are already on the same boat. However, Yue Libi is also a person with great heart. He was not panicked at all. He said "I dare not take credit" at this time, which seems to be humble, but in fact it is a big truth. She failed to negotiate peace and led the wolf into the house. Where did she get the credit? The crime is almost the same.

Yao Mu suddenly sweated without any suspicion and said with a smile: "Lao Yue, although you are a few years older than me, we grew up together. You are becoming more and more like people from the Central Plains, all of which are hypocritical and insincere."

Yue Li Farewell and started to look at him: "The people of the Central Plains have a saying, "There is red when it is close to the red, and the people of the ink are black when it is close to the ink. I have dealt with the people of the Central Plains for a lot, so I naturally get infected with their habits."

Yaomahu Khan said to Wushu beside him: "Wushu, since Lao Yue is unwilling to speak, I will make the decision for her. Go to the storehouse and get the wooden box that Yan Shi gave me."

Wushu nodded and got up and left.

After entering the royal court, Li Xuandu seldom spoke. He had been watching these dignitaries in the royal court with a cold eye, and then inferred the situation of the royal court through the words and deeds of these dignitaries. It is said that listening to both sides will make you wise, and believing in one side will make you dark. Li Xuandu did not want to listen to only Yue Libie's one-sided words, so as not to be calculated by Yue Libie.

But he could not be passive all the time, and he had to take the initiative occasionally. So when Yaomuhu Khan was in a good mood, Li Xuandu suddenly asked: "May I ask Yaomuhu Khan, when can I see Lao Khan?"

As soon as this was said, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became cold.

The smile on Yaomuhu Khan's face had disappeared, and there was no intimacy just now, and his eyes were cold.

Li Xuandu was not surprised, let alone afraid. He had seen this kind of behavior of the rich and powerful many times. When they needed it, they would treat them with respect and respect, and even give away their wives and children. But once they were touched on the sore spot, they would turn their faces and not recognize them at all. In the final analysis, these high and mighty rich and powerful were just pretending, and they never regarded those "lowly people" as equals in their hearts.

Yue Libie looked worried, seemingly worried that Yaomu Huhan would be angry, but in fact she was afraid that Li Xuandu would be angry. She had seen how powerful Li Xuandu was. At such a close distance, Li Xuandu wanted to take Yaomu Huhan's life, which was really easy.

Yaomuhu Khan stared at Li Xuandu and asked with some anger: "Do you think this king can't make the decision?"

Li Xuandu deliberately showed some fear and answered carefully: "I dare not, but the order of the Ministry is for me to meet the Khan of the Golden Horde. If I don't even see the old Khan, I'm afraid I will be punished by the Ministry after returning to Liaodong. I hope Yaomuhu Khan will understand."

Yaomuhu Khan was silent for a moment, and suddenly smiled again: "You are right, the old Khan is the master of the Golden Horde. Such a big thing must be reported to the old Khan. However, the old Khan has been unwell recently and it is inconvenient to see guests, so this matter will be handled by this king for the time being."

What Yaomuhu Khan said was roughly the same as Li Xuandu's guess. He didn't want to completely anger Yaomuhu Khan, so he stopped talking.

Seeing that Li Xuandu did not disobey him, Yaomuhu Khan took the initiative to step forward a few steps, holding Li Xuandu's arm, expressing his close intention, and laughed heartily at the same time.

Li Xuandu was unmoved in his heart, but pretended to be flattered.

Yaomuhu Khan felt that this Central Plains envoy was still very useful, so he had to comfort her: "Don't worry, Eqige loves Ehe the most. On the day of Ehe's birthday, Eqige will definitely show up, and I will introduce you to Eqige."

In the Golden Tent language, Eqige means father and Ehe means mother. Yaomuhu Khan did not call the old Khan and Yanshi, but deliberately said so, which showed the old Khan's love for him.

Li Xuandu naturally nodded and agreed, and achieved his goal of attending the birthday banquet of the little Yanshi.
