Liu Liufu saw the clue, Xiao Temo changed his previous domineering style, and actually spoke in a roundabout way, of course he knew the reason, it was nothing more than taking people's soft hands and eating people's mouths, and he still owed the other party a lot of debts, and at this moment he was sitting here unashamedly talking about national affairs with others, of course, it seemed a little embarrassing.

However, Liu Liufu didn't have so many concerns, although Xiao Temo was the main envoy and his own official, but in fact, in the Liao State, there was no subordinate relationship between them at all; It's just because Liu Liufu is a Han in the Liao State, and his position in the Great Liao State under the rule of the Khitan people is somewhat weak.

Although the Liao State unanimously claims that the Han people are not discriminated against, and many Han people have entered the high-level centers to hold important positions, it is nonsense to say that all are completely equal. Just a few decades ago, the status of the Han people was still inferior, and in recent years, there were frequent exchanges and trade with the Song Dynasty, which has only improved, but it is far from the point where the nation is one family, and there are few important positions in the power of the feudal province to lead the army, which is evident.

The reason why Liu Liufu was polite to Xiao Temo was because of the weakness of being a Han in his heart, but this mission to the Song Dynasty was a major event in Liu Liufu's life.

Xiao Temo has a way back, because he is a Khitan tribesman, and because he is a servant of Yelu Zongyuan, the generalissimo of the Great Liao Soldiers and Horses, with these two backers, Xiao Temo can save his life even if he messes up his errand; And he has nothing, if it weren't for the support of Zhang Jian, the prime minister who is also a Han person, and gave him this opportunity, he would never want to go to another country as a seven-grade Hanlin bachelor in his life.

Xiao Temo was speechless, Liu Liufu couldn't be silent, even if the deputy envoy of Su on the other side was a difficult guy, he seemed to have insight into the bottom line of Liao's action in his words, but in fact, the bottom line has always been relative, once he is in a hurry, someone will desperately propose to attack the Song Dynasty.

"Two adults, what you said is right, my Lord Xiao does mean this, but Lord Xiao is a heroic and righteous person, and he is unwilling to directly hurt the affection between the two countries; Fortunately, Deputy Envoy Su was very clever and understood the meaning, which saved a lot of tongues. Liu Liufu said.

Su Jin smiled and said: "I'm afraid Deputy Envoy Liu didn't understand what I meant, the reason why I can understand the meaning of Chief Envoy Xiao's words is not because I am very smart and good at figuring out the meaning of others' words; What annoys me the most is figuring out what others mean, wouldn't it be better to have something to say straightforwardly? It's just because of your country's unjust act this time that I, the Song Dynasty, have already reached a consensus, and I know that someone will take advantage of the troubled waters to fish and get a piece of the pie. ”

"Deputy Envoy Su's words are different, what is fishing in troubled waters? In the letter from my Emperor Daliao to His Majesty the Emperor of your country, it is clear that the four requirements put forward are all reasonable, and they are not only available now, but have been planned for a long time, but they just coincide with the current situation, which seems to be a little out of place. ”

Su Jin laughed and said, "Don't you think this kind of disguise is suspicious of 'there are no three hundred taels of silver here'?" If I don't come to talk about it sooner rather than later, when I was suffering from famine inside the Great Song Dynasty and being harassed by thieves from the West, I set up troops at the border and put forward four unreasonable demands, which is not a 'coincidence', but a deliberate act; if you even quibble about this, how can we continue to talk about it? Are you taking my Da Song up and down for a fool? ”

Liu Liufu's face turned red, glanced at Xiao Temo, and arched his hand: "It's okay, since it comes to this, we don't have to beat around the bush; I have put forward four requirements in the letter of the Great Liao Emperor, so let's talk about these four requirements? Isn't my main errand now to negotiate this? No one wants to be in vain, but that depends on the outcome of our negotiations. ”

Su Jin turned his head to Fu Bi and said, "Brother Fu, they want to talk about those four conditions, what do you say?" ”

Fu Bi didn't know what Su Jin meant, so he couldn't express his position, so he thought about it for a while and said vaguely: "Brother Xian's idea is that he has to talk about it after all." ”

Su Jin nodded and said to Xiao Temo: "What does Lord Xiao think?" ”

Xiao Temole's Liu Liufu came forward, he really didn't want to open his mouth much, since the other party's mastermind was standing behind the scenes, he might as well let Liu Liufu toss, toss well, the credit is indispensable, the toss is not good, the blame is all this kid, and it also saves the embarrassment of bargaining with Su Jin head-on.

"Vice President Liu's intention is the intention of the envoy."

Su Jin smiled and said in his heart: You are shrinking very deep now, and you were frustrated in a confrontation in the morning, and you immediately began to be a shrinking turtle Taoguang to raise your head, and I really can't underestimate you too much.

"Is there a time limit for the two envoys to come this time?" Su Jin suddenly asked about something else.

"My Emperor Liao has limited the period of one month, and it has been used up for ten days since I came, which means that I must return to Shangjing to resume my life around 20 next month." Liu Liufu said.

"In other words, in addition to the ten days on the way back, the two of you can stay in Bianliang for ten days, right?"

"Exactly, at most ten days, no matter if the talks are not successful, we will have to return to China, and we may see each other again Maybe it will be an old friend reunion, or maybe ......"

"Maybe it's a battlefield meeting, right?" Su Jin smiled: "You don't have to scare me with these words, what are we talking about like this?" I, the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, directly promised you, what do you want you and me to do? ”

"That's the case, I'm telling the truth, Deputy Envoy Su don't misestimate the situation, the strength of my Great Liao State is indeed a little reluctant, but I might as well tell you that at the same time that I and Lord Xiao's envoy came to Bianliang, the other envoy was on the way to Xingqing Mansion, what to do, I don't think I need to explain much, as smart as Deputy Envoy Su knows well."

Su Jin smiled and said, "I understand, I completely understand." But since there are still ten days, let's not be in a hurry to negotiate, today we have a little unpleasant, the two of you must not be in a good mood, let's go back to rest after the banquet, recuperate your spirits, tomorrow the Japanese arrange the venue, find an elegant and quiet place to sit down and chat slowly, isn't it better than in this noisy restaurant? ”

Xiao Temo and Liu Liufu didn't have much of an opinion, today is the first meeting between the negotiators of the two sides, and after they go back, they will discuss and study the other party's style of doing things and the city government, so that they can be used during the negotiation.

The two sides chatted a few words, the wine banquet ended hastily, Su Jin and Fu Bi sent the two Liao envoys into the carriage, and after seeing them leave, they smiled at Fu Bi and said: "Brother Fu, today is really exciting, these two guys want to make a fortune, but we made a lot of money." ”

Fu Bi smiled: "But isn't it? Brother Fool was very nervous at the time, and somehow he won, Brother Xian is really not simple, how did you do it? I thought that only the four companions under you were sure to win, but I didn't expect that there were also dragons and crouching tigers among the guards. ”

Su Jin laughed and said, "Counting on those guards? I lost my pants early. Don't you see that I ordered someone to fetch the money, and two of the four who brought it were gone? ”

Fu Bi shook his head and said, "This is really no idea." ”

Su Jin smiled and said, "That's because the dynasty took the opportunity to take the silver to call Miss Yan's two strong martial arts guards to drop the bag; In this way, there are six good players in the ten-person team, and we will win sixty percent, what am I afraid of him? ”

Fu Bi suddenly realized: "I see, I still wonder how you seem to have no fear, it turns out that you have already dropped the bag of the person on the field." ”

Su Jin said: "I'm not fearless, to be honest, the ten tigers of the Xiao family are all good hands, and my heart is also in my throat, but things are forced to that point, I can only fight to the death, as long as I retreat, the things behind will be difficult to do." ”

Fu Bi nodded and said: "That's true, Xiao Temo's arrogance is much lower, I'm afraid he has no money to pay off his gambling debts." Also, when they lost, why didn't you ask them to shout in the market openly and give in? ”

Su Jin said: "That thing can't be done, it's like a knife hanging on the head, we can remind them from time to time, but this knife can't fall, once it falls, there will be no threat, they will be unscrupulous, it's better to hang on their heads and disgust them." ”

Fu Bi smiled and said, "It's really yours, it's really true." ”

Su Jin waved his hand and said: "Let's go and see Ma Han's injury, this kid has risked his life today, this matter is over, several people under my command must be given an official position, this matter falls on you, if you can't do it well, brother, I won't finish with you." ”

Fu Bi said: "Do you need to say this? After this matter was done, the emperor did not give me the title of official, so I resigned and returned to my hometown to farm. ”

Su Jin said: "Don't talk about those useless things, let's talk about it when you get in the car, there are still a lot of things to do in the afternoon, I want to sum it up with the rich brother." ”

Fu Bi was stunned and said, "Aren't you going back to rest?" What's going on? The arrangement of the negotiation venue has been prepared for a long time, and you and I do not have to worry about it. ”

Su Jin smiled in a low voice, leaned into Fu Bi's ear and said, "Do you really want to talk to them tomorrow?" Let them dream, who has time to talk to them? Tomorrow, let's take them to see the prosperity of our Great Song Capital, and by the way, let them have long eyes, don't they boast that they are unparalleled in the world for millions of iron horses? Tomorrow, let's put on a good show for them to scare their guts. ”

Fu Bi didn't know why, and was anxious to ask, Su Jin grabbed his arm, pulled him into the car, and waved the horsewhip with a crisp sound, and went away in a puff.
