The banquet in Changning Palace was still going on, but the posthouse next to the official office of Honglu Temple seemed deserted. In the huge posthouse, there were only a dozen people from the Dihu Mission living there, and there was another person from Jiujiu who was in charge of communicating with the mission. Pinjishi is on standby at any time.

In fact, strictly speaking, Daning's arrangement is a very disrespectful behavior. After all, the Dihu Khanate no longer claims to be a vassal to the Ning Dynasty. The two countries are equal in status. The Dihu Mission represents Dihu Khan According to the usual practice, Honglu Temple should send a temple minister or Shaoqing to receive the talks, instead of sending a small nine-rank recorder to perfuse their Dihu mission.

But now, when Daning is declaring war on Dihu, the officials of Honglu Temple can see that the emperor has no intention of making peace with the Dihu people at present, even if they have no eyesight. Messenger, isn't this going against the emperor's thoughts? Do you still want the black hat on your head?

Therefore, Honglu Temple only sent one of the most humble [-]th-rank officials in the temple to receive these Dihu envoys. The meaning is already obvious. It is to imply that these Dihu people are not welcome in Daning now. If they are sensible, He left Luoyang and returned to Mobei by himself, so as not to embarrass both sides.

But in the face of Daning's deliberate neglect, the Dihu mission did not intend to leave in the slightest. It still sent people to submit the letter of credence to Xiao Ji through the Honglu Temple every day, and begged His Majesty the Emperor Daning to read the two terms with tears. The friendship between the two countries in the past has turned hostility into friendship, and the old relationship with Di Hu has been rebuilt, and Di Hu is willing to pay tribute to Daning...

Seeing that the Dihu envoy's attitude was so sincere, Honglu Temple finally let it go. Anyway, as long as these Dihu people don't do anything in the capital, they can stay in Luoyang if they like.

But what Honglu Temple didn't know was that everything was just as Xiao Jie said. He Liantao immediately decided to send a mission to Luoyang to negotiate with Ning Chao as soon as he learned that Ning Chao had sent people to rescue Yan's and Rong's. I hope that we can get Rong and Heliantuo's mother and son back through negotiation.

But He Liantao would never pin his hopes on the extravagant hope that the Ning Dynasty Emperor would be willing to negotiate peace. When he decided to send a mission to the Central Plains, he had already thought that the Ning Dynasty Emperor might not agree to peace talks with him, so he also He had already made two-handed preparations and dispatched a large number of Khan's elite guards disguised as Hu merchants from the Western Regions to sneak into the Central Plains secretly and enter Luoyang City. When the right time was found, the two parties, Mali and Foreign, joined forces to assassinate his brother in one fell swoop. Heliantuo, thereby eliminating the last hidden danger that threatened his Khan position.

It's just that they managed to find out that Heliantuo is now hiding in the Qi Palace, and they also sent many people to monitor the Qi Palace day and night, hoping to find a suitable opportunity to assassinate Heliantuo, but no one thought that Heliantuo would kill Heliantuo every day. They didn't step outside the gate, they didn't leave King Qi at all, and they didn't have the guts to openly enter the heavily guarded Palace of King Qi to assassinate Helian Tuo, so they could only continue to squat around the Palace of Qi and wait for the opportunity.

Fortunately, before leaving, He Liantao told the envoys that the abduction of Yan family and Rong family must be related to Wu Ji, a young general who went deep into the desert. Once Wu Ji returns to Beijing, Rong family will inevitably arrive in Luoyang soon, and He Lian Tuo is also a well-known dutiful son, so he will definitely show up to pick up his mother, and that is the only chance for them to do it.

So today Emperor Ningguo personally went out of the city to meet Wu Ji and other triumphant soldiers, and they also sent many people in disguise to mix in with the onlookers to see if there was any suitable opportunity to assassinate.

But to their disappointment, they did not find Yan's figure among the triumphant soldiers, let alone Helian Tuo.

As a result, the entire Dihu mission fell into deep suspicion, and everyone was divided into two factions because of their opinions.

A group of people think that the kidnapping of Yan family and Rong family has nothing to do with Wu Ji at all. Since the Rong family was not rescued by Ning Chao, He Liantuo would naturally not show up. They have no chance of assassination at all. If you continue to waste time in Luoyang, it is better to return to Mobei Royal Court as soon as possible to return to Boli Khan, and then make a long-term plan.

The other faction insisted that what Boli Khan said was correct. The Yan family and the Rong family were robbed by Wu Ji's army. Now they are only going to Beijing to hide their eyes and ears. As long as they wait a few more days, the Rong family will arrive In Luoyang City, Helian Tuo will show up at that time, and that is their best chance to assassinate Helian Tuo.

The two factions held their own opinions and expressed their opinions, and neither could persuade the other, and they quarreled in the small post house. If it was not a big night, the recorder in charge of entertaining them and the postmen in the post house would be lazy and go to bed early Next, I'm afraid it has already alarmed other people.

"Since the Yan family is not in Luoyang, Prince Heliantuo will never show up easily. Instead of staying in Ningguo to embarrass people, we might as well return to the royal court as soon as possible to return to the Khan and make plans."

The speaker was the envoy of the Dihu Mission, named Gerqi, a Burke of the Dihu Khanate, who was sent by Boli Khan as an envoy to the Ning Dynasty because he could speak fluent Chinese. These days, they have had enough of the cold reception and blank stares of the Ning Dynasty officials, and they have long held their breath. If it weren't for the Khan's confession that the assassination of Helian Tuo had not been completed, they would have wanted to leave a long time ago.

Now that Wu Ji has led the army back to Beijing, but the Yan family and the Rong family have not shown up for a long time, Geerqi has completely lost his last bit of patience, and just wants to leave Luoyang as soon as possible and return to the royal court of Mobei to return to his life. I don't want to stay here in Luoyang City and suffer this kind of crime. After all, he is also from the noble family of Dihu, and he has always been proud and arrogant. How could he endure so many humiliations from these Han people.

Besides, from the bottom of his heart, he was not willing to kill Helian Tuo.Although Boli Khan kept claiming that Helian Tuo's collusion with the Ning Dynasty would be detrimental to the Dihu Khanate, no one had conclusive evidence to prove that Helian Tuo had colluded with the Han people.

And Helian Tuo is also the son of Yida Khan anyway, if he really kills him, it is very likely to cause dissatisfaction among some Dihu nobles and ministers, and in the end Boli Khan is likely to calm down other people's anger. Resentment and anger, pushing himself out as a scapegoat, even if he is full of mouths, he will not be able to speak clearly.

Therefore, although Gerch agreed to go to Ning Dynasty as an envoy, he was unwilling to participate in the assassination of Helen Tuo in his heart. Just water.

"No, since Khan wants us to come and assassinate Helian Tuo, if we don't complete the task, what face do we have to go back to the royal court to see Khan."

The one who disagrees with him is Manetta, the commander-in-chief who secretly sneaked into Luoyang City under the order of Heliantao. Khan wanted him to sneak into the capital to assassinate Helian Tuo, and he would never give up until he achieved his goal.

At the beginning, He Liantao sent two groups of them, one bright and one dark, to enter the capital respectively, with the original intention of hoping that they would cooperate with each other to assassinate He Liantuo.

However, the two groups of people do not belong to each other. Once they disagree, both sides will insist on their own opinions, and no one can persuade the other. This is something that Heliantao did not expect.

Seeing that Manetta was so stubborn, Geerqi sighed, and still wanted to try to persuade him: "Recently, you can also see that the Qi Palace has stepped up its guard, and it is obvious that our actions have given them Be vigilant, if we don't terminate the operation in time, sooner or later we will be wiped out by the people of Ningguo."

"Why, Geerqi, the little trouble in the Qi Palace scared you? I don't think you are worthy of being a Dihu warrior. At best, you are just like those weak and deceitful Han people, just a cowardly pair of legs It’s just sheep.” Manetta looked sullenly, looked at Gerch coldly, and his tone was full of sarcasm.

"You...you dare to humiliate me like this!"

Hearing that Manetta dared to ridicule and humiliate him like this, Gerch instantly flushed with anger, and was about to speak back, but suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside the post house, and it seemed that a large number of soldiers were running.

The expressions of the Dihu people in the inn could not help but change drastically. Could it be that their behavior of monitoring the Qi Palace was discovered by the people of Ningguo, and they are now sending troops to arrest them?
