Hong Tao went to the river to catch fish, the Yellow River big carp. At this time, the Yellow River is much richer than that of later generations, without any additives, small medicines, spices, just knead the rice grains into a ball and hang it on the hook, less than a few minutes, more than a quarter of an hour, there will be a big carp with red fins and tails on the hook, and if you are lucky, you can also catch the golden carp of Huang Cancan.

The taste is definitely not as delicious as sea fish, because there are many spines, and it has a bit of earthy smell when eaten raw. But it's better than nothing, it's impossible to eat fresh sea fish, as long as the craftsmanship is good, you can still clean the fish bones, and then marinate them with vinegar, white wine and minced ginger for a while, and the earthy smell will fade.

"In summer, there is a Naoer next to the bowl, and there are a lot of fish in it, which are about the same size as the one caught by the prince." The two Liao officials didn't pay attention to it, so they squatted beside Hong Tao and watched, and also commented on the fish they caught, but the title was a little awkward.

But Hong Tao couldn't correct it, according to the Tang etiquette, it was a very elegant word for scholars and doctors to call each other a certain zhang, and it was also very popular in the Song Dynasty.

"Naoer...... Isn't this Mongolian? "A founding marquis of the Great Song Dynasty sat on the trestle, and next to him was the king of Lanling County of Liao and the privy deputy envoy of the Southern Yuan.

"Mongolia?"

"Oh yes, it's supposed to be called Tartar, right? It just so happens that I would like to ask the two adults, what is the situation of the Tatars now? ”

What to talk about, don't talk about Song and Liao, you have to find an unrelated topic. This is also a hurry, Hong Tao suddenly remembered Genghis Khan, who was frozen on the Mongolian Plateau, or his father and grandfather.

Compared with the Khitans, Jurchens, Dangxiang, Tibetans, and Uighurs, the Tatars seem to be more terrifying.

The Song people's understanding of the Tatars is almost blank, and not many people know this name. But there are Tatar tribes in the Liao State itself, and they should know something about the situation.

"Tatars? On our side, they are called the Divination Blockers, who live near Zhenzhou, and the Founding Marquis knows them? This pole was a little far, Xiao Wuna looked confused, and a little vigilant.

"I don't know, this official caught a few Tatars from the desert when he was guarding Liangzhou...... The diviners, they say, are from the Liao Kingdom. The official wondered how your people went to Liangzhou. "Nonsense doesn't come with your mouth open, it's very reliable and can't be verified, believe it or not.

"The divination people must have gotten lost their way south before entering the Xia Kingdom...... Oh, it's within your country. I haven't been to Zhenzhou, so I don't know much about the local area. Speaking of Liangzhou, there is a question I would like to ask the founding marquis to solve the puzzle, how the thousands of new troops can still be completely annihilated in the face of the combined attack of the two military divisions. I fought with the Tanguts, and I was defeated, and I am ashamed of myself. ”

Xiao Wuna may not have really been to Zhenzhou, where the people live in the Obscuration, or maybe he doesn't want to talk about this topic, so he took it and asked him about his interest.

"Hey, you're really not at a loss...... If you want to know how I defeated the Western Xia people, it's very simple, this official knows fairy spells, and can call the wind and rain. At worst, thunder will fall, and at worst, landslides and earth cracks, and tens of thousands of Western Xia soldiers will not be enough to worry about. ”

This way of talking is very boring, and neither of the two sides has the slightest basic trust, which is better than the ability to speak neatly and make up nonsense. Hong Tao is very good at this, and he loves to talk and talk, but he doesn't like to waste time for no reason, and there is a cost to talking.

"How can there be such a spell in the world, could it be that the gods descended to earth! The Han people of the Southern Dynasties are treacherous, if you don't want to answer, you can do it, why are you stupid to deceive the two of us! Xiao Wuna obviously understood this, but the privy deputy of the Southern Court, who had not squeaked all this time, was not very happy.

"Ha, the Han people of the Southern Dynasty are cunning? This is really a thief shouting to catch a thief, reversing black and white. No matter how treacherous the official is, he also shows his true face, this Lord Terry is difficult to distinguish between male and female, is it true that the Khitans of the Northern Dynasty are very real? ”

The other party's rebuttal is reasonable, where are there immortals in the world, it is pure nonsense, and there is indeed a suspicion of foolishness. But this is a common practice in officialdom, and questions that you don't want to answer are usually made up with obvious nonsense to remind the other party not to ask again.

But this privy deputy envoy of the Southern Court of Liao State was actually anxious, and it could only explain one thing, he was not an official at all. Or that he is not him at all, but she, a woman disguised as a man!

Hong Tao had long seen that there was something wrong with this person's identity, her hair was real and her beard was fake; The skin of the face and hands is not too delicate, but the eyelashes are too long; There is a robe covering every move like a man, but as soon as he gets on the horse, his thighs and waist and hips are exposed.

With Hong Tao's eyes that have seen the world ***** and have no code in his heart, he immediately determined that this was a young woman. Originally, I didn't plan to expose it, but this woman really couldn't arouse her interest.

She has rough skin, a bronze complexion, a decent appearance, and a tall figure, but the woman with hair is too advanced, Hong Tao thinks that he can't appreciate this beauty, so he has no interest in teasing.

But she has no self-knowledge, and she dares to refute herself with integrity issues, so don't save any face. It's best to squeeze her out of a hurry, and the two sides will break up unhappily, not only saving a meal, but also not having to answer so many questions that they don't want to answer.

"I've always dressed like this when I go out in this palace, listen, I'm Yelu Teri, the youngest daughter of Emperor Yelu Hongji of Daliao, are you afraid!" Hong Tao's accusation did not make the other party speechless, but became more reasonable, and took a step forward, holding his head high and showing a look of contempt.

"My lord, if you deal with it, you will be able to deal with it." The first to react to this sentence was the Wasp, because the colt got up and stood behind him when the other party's identity was revealed, with obvious intentions, for fear that the other party would burst out and hurt people.

"This official already has the eldest princess and two concubines, and it is better to have a little distance between men and women." Hard? It's not suitable, how does Hong Tao think of Xiao Wuna, how he thinks he can't beat him, plus a woman dressed as a man, the wasp may not be foolproof to deal with.

Didn't you say in martial arts that there are several kinds of people in the rivers and lakes who are the most difficult to deal with, including monks and women. It is better to believe that there is something and not to believe it, and it is better to be careful.

"Since Her Royal Highness the princess has arrived, it is better to go to the pavilion to rest. The personnel here are chaotic, and I am afraid that there will be a difference. Come on, escort the two adults back to the pavilion ......" In the end, Hong Tao didn't dare to stand up from behind the wasp, but only slightly exposed half of his body and gave an eviction order.

The other party is the princess of Liao, as for why she came with the mission and dressed in disguise, who knows. It's easy to do with this identity, and you can talk about farts and eat hair.

"This palace doesn't quite understand, why is the dignified founding marquis of the Song Dynasty, the general who exterminated the two major military divisions of Western Xia, Gansu and Baima so afraid of a woman? The Han people of the Southern Dynasties are as untrustworthy as you, and they don't invite the good horse dishes and horse wine? ”

It's a pity that the other party doesn't eat this set, and he doesn't even have the intention of leaving, and he uses words to squeeze it, a Han man from the Southern Dynasties, and the wasp gritted his teeth, and from time to time he tilted back with the corners of his eyes, hoping that Lord Shuai Si would not continue to be embarrassed.

"Compared with state affairs, personal honor and disgrace are not enough. Contacting foreign envoys in private is not in line with the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, and the two of them should not embarrass their own officials, offend and offend. Wasp, be sure to send the two guests safely to the inn and tell the adults to know! ”

People who love to say what they say, and those who are thicker than Hong Tao's skin have never succeeded. After throwing off the nonsense, he threw the fishing rod on the trestle, turned around and left. Don't plan to follow, a team of special forces is already behind your own adults, don't think about it without getting an order.

"Tart no, this person is really Wang Xu?"

"It's true, it's just that it's wrong with the rumors. Whether the Tangut people lied or Wang Shu deliberately concealed it needs to be seen. ”

At this point, the meal was not served, and the two Liao envoys got on their horses and were surrounded by wasps and special forces and returned to the city, chatting in Khitan language as they walked. It was Yelutri who asked, and looking at Xiao Wuna's attitude of replying, this person is indeed like a princess of Liao.

"A Southern Dynasty horse who is afraid of even women, can do this position must rely on the benefit of nepotism. The Gansu Military Division doesn't know that the Military Division of Baimaqiang Town and the Northwest Road Recruitment Division have fought several times without falling behind, how can that soft egg deal with it, the rumors are wrong! ”

Yelutri is indeed a princess of Liao, not just looking for a princess of the prince's family, such as the third daughter of the emperor of Liao. Her first impression of Hong Tao was negative, and it would be more appropriate to simply say that she looked down on her.
