"Xiping Palace? Haven't you heard that it has something to do with the thief? ”

Ji Yi, who had drunk a few more glasses of wine, was just at a loss when he heard the "Xiping Palace" that Liu Yun seemed to have inadvertently asked.

"It's related to the Western Thief," Liu Yun looked at Ji Yi and said in a low voice, "Wasn't the Western Thief your King of Xiping in the past, and he was the envoy of the Difficult Army?" ”

"The envoys of the Western Thieves are all in Duting Xiyi," Ji Yi took another sip of Wanglou jade brew and said with a smile, "It has been repaired since November, and it has long been impossible to live there." ”

The lot of Duting West Station is not as good as Duting Station, it is in the west chamber of the city outside Kaifeng Mansion, it was built after the Qingli Meeting, it is newer than Duting Station, and now Duting Station has not been overhauled for many years, and there is no reason to repair Duting West Station.

And Duting Xiyi is used to entertain the Western Xia, Hui, Tubo and other multinational missions, and now the Western Xia mission does not come, it does not mean that the missions of other countries do not come, why is it closed for repair? Could it be that Duting Xiyi is going to be transformed into Xiping Palace?

"I heard that a Western Xia delegation has arrived in Kaifeng Mansion?" Liu Yun continued to inquire.

"I haven't heard of it." Ji Yi shook his head and said, "Isn't there still a war in the west?" How can there be an exchange of missions? ”

"Isn't that famous Ah Bury in Kaifeng Mansion?"

"Wei Ming was buried," Ji Yi said with a smile, "and is now locked up in the Yushitai Prison." ”

Yushitai Prison is used to detain courtiers who commit crimes pending trial, and the conditions are relatively superior, and it is also preferential treatment to detain Wei Ming Ah Bury and Mei Le Du. But no matter how preferential the Yushitai Prison is, you probably can't ask for leave to go shopping, right?

The two Liao envoys glanced at each other: This is the ...... It's weird!

It's just that the Song people caught Mei Le Du in Tiandu Mountain, he is the supervisor of the Tiandu Mountain Prison Army, although the official is not small, but it has not reached the commander level, and it is possible for one to be accidentally arrested.

But the name of Ah Bury is the commander of the Western Xia Sixth Road! How can such a big general be dispatched once, without thousands of elite guards by his side? How could it be possible to let the Song army, which was attacking with two or three thousand light horses, be captured alive? Is that the useless Song Army or the Tielin Army of Da Liao? Even if the Great Liao Iron Army wants to catch a block, it won't take a lot of effort...... Haven't caught it really yet!

And even if Wei Ming's guards can't defeat the Song army, won't they still protect Wei Ming's Bury to run? If you can't run away, won't you wipe your neck and commit suicide? Why is it so embarrassing to be a prisoner of the Song people? And he is also a captive who can bring his little wife to the royal building to eat and drink!

If this thing is not strange, what is strange?

No, you must go to Duting Xiyi to find out!

made up their minds, the two Liao envoys didn't have the heart to drink and go shopping, and immediately went back to Dutingyi with Ji Yi, changed into Confucian clothes, and then got rid of Ji Yi and the Song Dynasty officials in Dutingyi - the Song Dynasty is also an old feudal dynasty for more than a hundred years, and it has long been not a cutting-edge in everything, so the guards of Dutingyi have always been lax - climbed over the wall and went out of Dutingyi, and then went all the way west to Dutingxiyi.

Duting Xiyi is really being repaired, scaffolding is erected in many places, but no one is constructing, after all, today is New Year's Eve, and most of the craftsmen have a big holiday. The gate of Duting Xiyi was closed, and there were still a few listless soldiers guarding in front of the door, and there was no military discipline, and they were still talking about it while guarding, and they didn't pay attention to Xiao Haogu and Liu Yun, two Confucian students.

Xiao Haogu and Liu Yun slipped into the corner and listened.

"That Hui girl is so white, that figure, that posture, and the ink lady of Christie's are no different......"

"Hey, hey, pay attention, that girl is different from Mo Niangzi, Mo Niangzi is an Oiran, she is an official family! That party Xiang Qiang was given the surname of the country, and it seems that he also named the deputy envoy of the military festival of Lao Shizi......"

Party Xiang Qiang? Giving the country a surname?

Needless to say, it must be the goods buried by Wei Ming.

And also sealed the deputy envoy of the military festival? Among the military officials of the Song Dynasty, there was no rank of deputy envoy...... No, this deputy envoy of the Temperance of the Difficult Army is not a rank official, but a rank official!

嵬名運運運...... Maybe it's Zhao Qianshun's kid who should be the envoy of the military festival, and the deputy envoy of the festival! Western Xia is about to become the Great Song Dynasty's Dingyan Army again!

It's bad now, the sky of Daliao is about to fall!

The territory of Western Xia can be followed by the territory of the Divination people, and the border is very long, it is impossible to block it, and then iron tools will continue to flow into the Divination.

In addition, once the Western Xia became the Dingyan army of the Great Song Dynasty, the 200,000 utility soldiers of the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty could be transferred to Hedong and Hebei immediately......

"Liu Linya, can you climb over this wall?"

Xiao Haogu still kept an eye on it, so he wanted to let the athletic Liu Yun and Liu Linya sneak over the wall into Duting Xiyi to investigate.

"No, there are a lot of people here...... Liu Yun looked around and said to Xiao Hao, "Observe, let's walk around Duting Xiyi to find a place where there are few people." ”

"Okay."

Xiao Haogu nodded, and followed Liu Yun to circle along the corner of the Duting West Station. Although the area where Duting Xiyi is located is not as lively as the inner city, it is also quite prosperous, and it is now the New Year's Eve, and the streets are full of people, so it is not easy to find a place where no one is around.

But fortunately, the sky did not die, and the two of them actually found a side door that was hidden, and an elderly soldier probably came out of the door, and snorted and ate a bowl of soft sheep noodles on a noodle stall on the street.

The two Liao envoys were really daring, and they actually took advantage of this opportunity to push open the side door and get in. Inside the door is a hall that has just been renovated halfway, and there is a plaque hanging on the door of the hall, which reads "Guiyi Hall", and the words are very well written, and at first glance it is from a famous family (Cai Jing wrote).

Xiao Haogu instructed Liu Yundao: "I'll take care of the wind, you go in and have a look." ”

"Holo." Liu Yun answered, and quickly ran to the door of Guiyi Hall, and found that the door here was also hidden, and it opened as soon as he pushed it. Inside the door was an empty hall, no one, the walls had just been whitewashed, and there was a mural on the north-facing wall that had just begun to draw lines, and I didn't know what to paint? There is also a wooden shelf, on which hangs an unfolded picture scroll, which should be a pink book, but with its back to Liu Yun.

Liu Yun hurriedly ran up, detoured to the front of the easel, and then looked at the dim light, and suddenly his face changed greatly.

The person on the painting turned out to be the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang of Western Xia!

Liu Yun once sent an envoy to Western Xia and met the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang many times, so he recognized at a glance that the woman on the picture was the current Empress Dowager of Western Xia.

It seems that the mural to be painted here should be "Mrs. Liang led the crowd to righteousness anyway" or something......

This Empress Dowager Xiao Liang was most likely cornered by the Song army, and she asked for help from the Liao State but couldn't get help, so she betrayed the idea of betraying the Liao and surrendering to the Song Dynasty!

Thinking of this, Liu Yun gritted his teeth, took off the scroll hanging on the easel, and then ran out as if flying.

"How?"

Xiao Haogu was also a little stunned when he saw Liu Yun stealing a painting.

What's going on?

Why do you still bring stealing things? What a shame it is to say it, a big Liaolin tooth, ran away from Fengfu to be a thief...... If this is caught by the Song people, how can the face of the Liao State remain?

"Run, Run......"

Liu Yun looked flustered, he was from the four major families of Yanyun, and he was a Jinshi, when did he steal something? Without this experience, it is natural to panic, and the first reaction after stealing something is, of course, to run away.

You can't let the Song people catch it!

Xiao Haogu saw him run away, he had no choice but to run with him, he was an accomplice!

As soon as the two of them slipped through the side door they had just entered, they went out. The two of them ran for a while, and found that there was no one chasing behind them, so they breathed a sigh of relief and stopped.

"What's going on? Liu Linya, why did you steal a painting? ”

"Steal? How is it stealing? Steal...... It's plagiarism! While correcting Xiao Haogu's erroneous statement, Liu Yun pulled him to the corner of the wall, and then unfolded the scroll in his hand, "Look at it, look at what is this?" ”

Xiao Haogu knew a little about calligraphy and painting, and he also knew that Yanyun Liu's family had collected a lot of calligraphy and paintings, so he first went to look at the place where he saw the money, and there were really words on it: Hanlin Painting Academy Ministers use German copying.

"Is it a facsimile?" Xiao Haogu said with some disappointment, "It's still the ...... copied by the painter of the Hanlin Painting Academy."

The facsimile is not worth much, you Liu Dalinya want to steal a good one......

"Facsimile?" Liu Yun was stunned for a moment, "Observe, look at the people on the painting!" Do you know the person in the painting? ”

Looking at people? Who?

Xiao Haogu looked at it at this time, and said in a lost voice: "It's the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang!" How is she? How could her portrait be in the Song Kingdom? ”

"That's her!" Liu Yun stomped his feet and said, "It must be that she wants to surrender to the Song Kingdom, so she asked someone to draw a photo and send it to Kaifeng Mansion to let the faint monarch and traitorous ministers of the Song Dynasty recognize her familiar face."

That famous Ah Bury must be her secret envoy! ”

"What should I do?" Xiao Haogu asked.

"I have to send someone to show this painting to the emperor quickly!"

"Yes, yes, yes...... It must be fast! ”

……

Ji Yi was walking quickly in Zhang Dan's Prime Minister's Mansion, and he could now go straight to the Prime Minister's Mansion without being announced!

This is the treatment that only Zhangdun's children and henchmen have!

However, Ji Yi only had the treatment of a confidant for the time being, because he did have confidential matters and had to report to Zhang Dian in person. And this confidential task is to arrange for the two envoys of the Liao State to get the "Photo Picture of the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang" copied by Du Yongde. And it has to be done seamlessly!

He had only received the order from Zhang Dian a few days earlier, and it was very short and demanding, and it might not be possible to complete it if he was replaced by the Imperial City Division. However, he remembered that he was a senior official, but he completed the task very satisfactorily.

Just an hour ago, the four members of the Khitan mission rode out of the city and galloped north.

Needless to say, the "Photo Picture of the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang" was being taken by them to the big tent of Yelu Hongji...... What a discordant plan! Ji Yi pondered as he walked: He and Wu Dalang can probably make a great achievement!
