Song Dynasty female artist

Chapter 550: I won’t be plotted (please vote)

Of course, if Princess Zhenning's life is threatened, can the Emperor of Liao still send troops?

Zhang Yi picked up a soy peanut and raised his ears.

I want to hear what General Di will say.

"I don't know what the Emperor of Liao would do, but if it were me, if anyone dared to threaten me with my daughter's life, I would not agree. Not only would I not agree, but I would also join forces with the Song Dynasty to destroy Xixia."

Zhang Yi was first shocked by Di Qing's remarks, and then thought about how to negotiate with him before agreeing to cooperate with the prince.

Two quarters of an hour later, we had almost eaten.

Di Qing and the guard stood up to pay the bill. The guard couldn't help but glanced in Zhang Yi's direction.

He thought to himself: This man is really calm.

After following them all afternoon and still not making any move, are you planning to take a day trip to Jingyuan and then return to Xingqing Mansion?

In this way, the guard looked at Zhang Yi with a bit of resentment.

However, Zhang Yi didn't realize it.

Still thinking about whether he was exposed, his whole body was tense, and his left hand was under the table, already holding his knife tightly.

But the guard soon looked away.

As if he had just glanced at him casually, Zhang Yi watched the guard with his peripheral vision. If he took another step towards him, he would run away immediately.

After they paid, they still walked slowly on the street.

Jingyuan is no different than Kyoto. After dinner, the people on the streets have gone home. There are not many people in the night market, and businesses are closing one after another.

After Zhang Yi paid, he followed.

Seeing that the government office was in front of them, the guards stamped their feet anxiously. After being stopped by General Di's eyes, they could only hold back.

Just at a turning point, someone finally blocked the way.

It was Zhang Yi who they "thought about day and night".

It's not easy.

I thought this grandson would have to hold it in until tomorrow.

I am very happy.

However, it is still necessary to show off. The guard drew his sword, pointed at Zhang Yi and shouted: "Who are you and what do you want to do?"

"Don't get me wrong, I'm here to see General Di."

"Are you from Xixia?"

The guard glared at Zhang Yi: "The Xixia people have just suffered a defeat. Are they coming to our general now to assassinate him? That depends on whether you have the ability."

After the guard finished speaking, he was about to stab him.

Zhang Yi quickly dodged and shouted: "General Di, I am sent by His Highness the Crown Prince, don't get me wrong."

Seeing that the plot was almost progressing, Di Qing raised his hand to ask the guards to step back.

"Are you sent by Brother Li Ningling?"

"Yes, yes, I am sent by His Highness the Crown Prince. I have some matters that I would like to discuss privately with General Di. Is that okay?"

"If you say you want to discuss it, let's discuss it. What if you want to assassinate our general!"

"I killed the general, and I can't escape."

"You, a nobody, were exchanged for our generals. You, Xixia, got a big deal. Do you think we are stupid?"

Zhang Yi was really anxious now.

He quickly took out Ning Lingge's autographed letter from his arms: "This is a letter written by His Highness the Crown Prince to General Di. You will know if I lied after reading it."

The guard picked up the letter with his sword.

First he smelled it with his nose, and after checking it carefully, he handed the letter to General Di.

Di Qing browsed quickly and looked at Zhang Yi: "Then go to the government office."

Just go.

Anyway, he came here to seek cooperation. According to their understanding, General Di was very principled and would not kill a messenger at will.

Di Qing did not take anyone to the study, but stayed in the back hall, retreating to the left and right. The guard just now was standing guard at the door.

"How may I address you?"

"My name is Zhang Yi, and I am the prince's personal bodyguard."

Di Qing smiled: "You are too modest. Personal bodyguards can't do this job. Look at my bodyguards, they know how to wield swords and guns, but they can't play tricks." Zhang Yi felt that he was being connoted.

But as smart as he is, he can't refute it.

People were praising him, so he couldn't ignore the good and the bad, so he could only say dryly: "Thank you, General Di, for the compliment."

Di Qing put the letter on the table and looked at Zhang Yi: "You said this letter was written by your prince. I have never told you about Li Ningling's handwriting. How can I believe it?"

"I have tokens."

Zhang Yi took out another jade pendant from his arms.

This jade pendant is engraved with Li Ningling's name. Looking at the roundness and smoothness of this jade pendant, I must touch it frequently.

Only then did General Di believe Zhang Yi's words.

"Your prince wants me to help him seize the throne. Isn't he afraid that the Song Dynasty will take the opportunity to penetrate into Xixia?"

"I have been entrusted by the prince. As long as General Di is willing to cooperate, once the matter is completed, I will cede the Yellow River to the Yulin District of Shaanxi Province in the east, and the ancient city of Xiaofangpan in Dunhuang, Gansu Province and the Hexi Corridor in the west. These will all belong to the Song Dynasty."

Di Qing frowned slightly.

He was still skeptical when he received a letter from infantry commander Gu Ziyuan a few days ago.

Xixia has always been brave.

In addition, Li Yuanhao only has one son, Li Ningling.

The probability of heirloom taking place is very low.

Therefore, the possibility of civil strife in Xixia is extremely low.

But now, Li Ning asked Ge Ning to not only take the initiative to seek help from him, a general from another country, but also promised to cede territory.

Although he was surprised, he admired this Gu Ziyuan.

At the beginning, when General Zeng was still in Jingyuan, he fought several battles with him, and later became a close friend. When drinking and chatting, he praised him as his apprentice. At that time, he was very interested in Gu Ziyuan.

In addition, after he passed the imperial examination in Sanyuan, he planned to help your majesty capture Xixia Xizuo, outwit Kong Chong to avenge his master, and even started a verbal battle with the Xixia scholars while still in the academy.

He was even more interested in Gu Ziyuan.

But these are always far away from him, and they sound more like a story.

It's different now. Everything that happened is related to him, and I have a more intuitive feeling about Gu Ziyuan.

Zhang Yi was extremely nervous.

Waiting carefully for Di Qing's reply.

Unexpectedly, Di Qing was in a state of wandering mind, and his attention was not on him.

"General Di, this is the greatest sincerity we can show. General Di still has to think carefully about things that are good for you and me."

Don't refuse blindly.

"I'll think about it."

After hearing this, Zhang Yi breathed a sigh of relief: "Then we will wait for General Di's confirmation. I believe it won't be too long."

"Wei Zhong, see you off!"

Wei Zhong is the guard who followed Di Qing out today.

Wei Zhong conscientiously sent Zhang Yi out of the city gate before turning back.

After all is said and done, I won't let myself stay in the city for a moment longer.

She was afraid that he would see something.

It was pitch black, what could he see! ! !
Zhang Yi stood outside the city gate, looking at the heavily guarded city gate, stroking his chin and thinking about today's events.

The more I think about it, the more it feels wrong.

He couldn't have been plotted as soon as he entered the city.

As soon as this idea came up, I was startled and broke into a cold sweat.

Immediately denied.

The time of his departure was not told to anyone, not even His Highness the Crown Prince.

A man came alone, how could others know about his coming to Jingyuan?
Unless His Royal Highness the Crown Prince informs you in advance.

But how is this possible?
