Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 418 Unspoken

The current relationship between Liao and Daxia should belong to the newly-married period, which is the time when honey is mixed with oil, you and me, and sticky.

Perhaps because of asking for others, Yeluertu's style of doing things suddenly changed, and he always wanted to put the best in front of the Daxia Mission, so this time, he also gave Shen Cha the seats for the banquet. He and Jin Jing chose the most prestigious seat with the best view and the least disturbed seat.

Compared with Daxia's palace, the Liao Palace is quite small, half of the Daxia's palace would be good, except for the inconvenient harem, the front can be used for banquets, and only the main hall barely meets the standard.

Shen Cha and Jin Jing's group got off their horses at the gate of the palace. Riding horses was not allowed in the palace, and they could not bring too many followers. All civil and military ministers and visiting envoys who attended the banquet left their followers outside the palace.

Shen Cha took a quick glance and found that they had arrived relatively early. There was a mat shed on the right side of the palace to entertain the attendants, and there were only three or two scattered people inside. Most of them hadn't come yet. .

The distance between the main entrance of the palace and the main hall is not too far, and there is only one road leading to the main hall, so there is no possibility of getting lost.Along the way, there were guards with swords lighting the palace lanterns to illuminate the guests. Although the sky was getting dark, they could clearly see the general situation of the entire palace.

Yeluertu... No, it should be that the Liao kings in front of him didn't bother to renovate the palace, nor did they take good care of the so-called garden. Although it doesn't look dilapidated, it still has a vicissitudes of life. sense of pathos.

Walking to the entrance of the main hall, Yelu Heyi bid farewell to Shen Cha and Jin Jing, he was going to find Yelunan at the back, and the little servant at the entrance of the main hall was in charge of leading the way and leading the guests to the seats that had been arranged.

The lights outside were brightly lit, and the inside of the main hall was also bright as day, with forearm-thick palace candles, and there was one every few steps, so bright that even the pockmarks on the opponent's face could be seen clearly.

The hall is divided into left and right rows. The seats on the left are reserved for the nobles and important ministers of the Liao Kingdom attending the banquet, while the seats on the right are reserved for the envoys.

The little servant respectfully brought them to the first table on the right side of the throne. Coincidentally, their neighbor was Duan Yuxuan who had just dealt with them.

"General Shen, Military Adviser Jin, good evening!" Different from the daytime, Duan Yuxuan was wearing a light blue tunic robe. When he saw Shen Cha and Jin Jing, he slowly got up from his seat and greeted Shen Cha and Jin Jing. Jing saluted, "It turns out that we are sitting at the next table, it seems that we are very destined."

"Second Young Master is also welcome!" Shen Cha and Jin Jing replied at the same time, after sitting down, Jin Jing looked at Duan Yuxuan, "Second Young Master came quite early."

"It's better to come early than to come by chance. Anyway, staying in the post house is very boring. It's better to visit the palace." After Shen Cha and Jin Jing sat down, Duan Yuxuan sat down again, "Both I probably don’t know, but we are under the same roof as the Tubo Mission. It’s not that I speak ill of people behind their backs, they are really... eh, rude and savage, not worth mentioning.” The little servant who stopped, "Do you... have anything else to do?"

"It's like this." This is the first time that the servant is in charge of receiving envoys from other countries. In addition, the two from Xia Guolai have a bad reputation, and the elegant young man of the Duan family doesn't seem to be easy to get along with. It made him a little nervous and a little scared, worried that if he didn't pay attention, he would anger them, and disaster might happen.Hearing Duan Yuxuan's question, he swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva, and said cautiously, "Three adults, please rest for a while, Mr. Qi is already on his way, and he will be there soon."

"Young Master Qi?" Jin Jing raised her eyebrows and quickly realized it, and said with a light smile, "King Liao has a heart, thank you!"

"Should, should!" The little servant bowed and saluted, "Young one has to meet other envoys, so I will take my leave."

Seeing the little maid running quickly towards the entrance of the hall with an escaped look on her face, Jin Jing touched her face again, turned around to look at the female officer who was kneeling behind her and pouring tea for them, and asked, "How long is it?" Does it have to be that scary? How come one or two of them seem to be seeing a ghost when they see me?"

The two female officials were only twelve or thirteen years old, and they were also stunned when they heard Jin Jing's question, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"The military division really doesn't know, why are they afraid of you?" Duan Yuxuan held a teacup and smiled faintly, "The two... especially General Shen, have too much evil spirit on their bodies. These boys have never seen the big world. Or those who have never seen blood will naturally be afraid.”

"Hearing this way, what Second Young Master Duan said is quite reasonable." Jin Jing turned her head to look at Shen Cha who was drinking tea silently, "It turns out that you were implicated."

"I'm really sorry." Shen Cha raised his eyebrows, not caring at all, "According to what Second Young Master said, you are not afraid of us, is it because you have seen the world or blood?"

"Isn't this kind of thing commonplace for people like us?" Duan Yuxuan's smile suddenly turned cold, and he put down the teacup in his hand, "I said before, what kind of person is my uncle? I know, I also know that his mouth is full of compassion, but his hands are stained with the blood of countless people. Anyone who offends him, even his own son, will be removed very cleanly. In order to make an example to others, he will do it every time Let us clan children watch with our own eyes, or even kill that stumbling block with our own hands."

"King Duan really does things..." After thinking for a long time, Jin Jing finally found a suitable word, "Unique."

"Oh, this word is very appropriate, and it is indeed unique. Therefore, there are not a few people in the Duan family's clan who hate him and that guy. Seeing their bad luck and waiting for them to step down is the long-cherished wish of many people in this life." Duan Yu Xuan leaned over and asked in a low voice, "How is it? How are you two thinking about what I said during the day?" Seeing Jin Jing's defensive face, he waved his hand, "Don't worry, I will go to the same question as well." Those who asked Mr. Qi, if we want to succeed, Liao and Xia are the goals we strive for."

Shen Cha glanced at Duan Yuxuan out of the corner of her eye, took the stove handed over by Mei Zhu, half-closed her eyes and said nothing, Jin Jing was always in charge of such matters, she just had to sit and listen it is good.However, Duan Yuxuan's question also confirmed their previous guess, Lian Hou... really wanted to kick Duan Wang and his illegitimate son who was on top of his heart.

Thinking of this, a sneer flashed across Shen Cha's face, Marquis Lian...or someone in the Duan family's clan had such thoughts, King Duan probably couldn't have imagined it.He has always placed his doubts on his legitimate sons, concubine sons, and even capable nephews, and fought with them like a raging fire, but he never thought that what he did before the mantis catching the cicada, and the oriole behind him, everything he did before was all the same. Making wedding clothes for others.

"Second Young Master, I don't know if I should ask a question or not." Jin Jing didn't answer Duan Yuxuan's words, "You... no, it should be Marquis Lian. Why did you agree to go to Liao as an envoy? Why did you agree to replace him? Is King Duan a lobbyist? You should have thought before you came that the attempted assassination alone would not make King Liao and the entire Yelu clan look good, let alone bury so many eyeliners in the Liao territory. "

"Military Master, I have considered what you said before coming here, but the purpose of my father's asking me to come is not to seek peace." Duan Yuxuan raised his eyebrows, "The worse my uncle's reputation outside, so Aren't we more profitable? I know that if we fail to make peace, after returning, he will hold the handle of our Marquis Mansion, and he can do whatever he wants. However, that is just his wishful thinking, and he wants to get rid of us. The foundation of the family in the court is not my big talk, with his ability, it is not so easy."

"The Marquis Lian's ability to keep a low profile is admirable." Jin Jing and Shen Cha glanced at each other, "Second Young Master, this matter is of great importance, it's not for the two of us to draw conclusions casually, we..."

"Understood!" Duan Yuxuan patted Jin Jing's arm, "I just told the two of my father's intentions, please tell the Emperor Daxia, the decision is naturally made by His Majesty the Emperor, we just need to wait quietly for the result Just fine."

"The second son is a smart man."

Jin Jing picked up the teacup, and paid respects to Duan Yuxuan, the two showed a tacit smile at the same time, and drank the tea at the same time.

Shen Cha looked on coldly and didn't get involved, but gave Duan Yuxuan a faint smile when he looked over.
