To The Land of Nevernight

In ancient times when there were no hot weapons, fierce tigers and wolves were real scourges.The physical functions of human beings are very different from those of animals. For example, a tiger can have a ton of strength when slapped, and its reaction speed is three or four times that of humans.Mortals fighting tigers are mostly novels and ghosts, and there is almost no possibility of them coming true.

But Tang Shen said so, Li Jingde actually admitted it.The third prince Yeluhan laughed, and didn't take their words to heart at all.He said: "You Song people like to brag like this? The best man in my Daliao, dare not compete with the eye-catching white-fronted worm. Song people are really good at talking, this prince looks down on you!"

Tang Shen was about to speak, but Li Jingde already understood what he meant, stepped forward and said, "That's because you Liao people are not good men!"

Yeluhan raised his brows furiously: "Little Song official, dare to shout?"

On the side, Han'er Si Yeluqin frowned displeasedly.

But Yeluhan had already waved his hand and asked his most capable guard to go up and teach Li Jingde a lesson. "Zhi Gulu, you go and teach this arrogant Song man a lesson."

"Yes!"

As soon as the words fell, a burly man from the Liao Dynasty walked out from behind Yeluhan, and strutted in front of Li Jingde.Li Jingde showed a satisfied smile: "I've been waiting for you for a long time." The two first glanced at each other, and then shouted together. The Liao guard stepped on the ground with both feet, and the ground trembled. He grabbed Li Jingde with both hands and grabbed Li Jingde's belt.

After Zhi Gulu grabbed Li Jingde, he lost his breath and wanted to lift him up.But when he tried his best to lift Li Jingde, he found that Li Jingde didn't move at all, his legs were firmly planted on the ground like old pine.

Straight Guru has a bad heart, no good, this is still a practitioner.

Li Jingde smiled boldly: "It's my turn!"

Li Jingde didn't resort to the fighting methods of the Song people, but imitated Gulu's way, grabbing his belt with both hands.Li Jingde's eyes widened and he shouted angrily. The strong muscles of his arms exerted force together, and the muscles of his waist tensed. With a sudden force, he forcibly lifted the straight Guru up.

Tang Shen didn't understand Zhigulu's curse in Liao language, but Li Jingde, who often fought with the Liao army, understood.Li Jingde's face changed, he threw Zhi Gulu to the ground, Zhi Gulu got up and punched him, Li Jingde sideways to avoid it, and swept his right leg.The two fought together.

In the courtyard of the post house, the two fought fiercely.

Li Jingde's fierce fist hit Zhigulu's stomach, Zhigulu fell back a few steps and sat down on the ground.With a sweet taste in his throat, he opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood.Seeing this, the third prince Yeluhan was immediately furious, he stood up, scolded Zhigulu as a useless piece of trash in Liao language, and then sent his subordinates up.

Yeluqin immediately said in Liao dialect: "Your Highness, don't get angry with these Song officials. This sixth-rank official is not a real civil official at first glance, he must be a military officer. We came to Song Dynasty this time as envoys and did not I didn’t bring the real general of our Liao Kingdom.”

Yeluhan said: "Then he beat up His Highness's person, so let's forget it?"

Yeluqin: "Your Highness, don't fall for the tricks of the Song people. We want to see Emperor Song, not to fight with these petty officials."

Yeluhan's eyes were still red with anger, he saw Li Jingde standing in the middle of the courtyard, and raised his chin at him arrogantly.Immediately, Yeluhan was furious, and he said: "Lord Yeluqin said that I, Song, from Liao came here as an envoy, and I didn't bring the real Haoerlang from Liao with me, then you are wrong. Your Highness is the real No. A warrior, the stone bow general named by the father himself!"

Yeluqin cursed in his heart: How can there be such an idiot as you!

But he said on his mouth: "What is your highness's status? You will compete with that Song official in the end. Where does he have the qualifications!"

Yeluhan: "You don't need to say any more."

How could Yeluqin really let him fight Li Jingde, he was about to stop it again, but saw a Liao officer with a beard coming from the backyard.Seeing Yeluqin, the bearded man snorted disdainfully, and glanced sideways at him, not bothering to look any further.

As soon as the bearded man appeared on the stage, the atmosphere in the inn suddenly changed.

The envoys of the Liao Kingdom were even more arrogant. Obviously their guards were beaten by Li Jingde just now, and they were still a little shameless.Now seeing the bearded officer Liao coming, everyone regained confidence.

The bearded Liao officer walked up to Yeluhan and said in Liao dialect, "Your Highness, Yeluqin is right. What kind of person is he from the Song Dynasty? Why should you go down and compete with him?"

Yeluhan: "But..."

"Your Highness."

Yeluhan gritted his teeth: "I listen to Master Taibao."

After the envoys of the Liao Kingdom discussed it in private, the bearded Liao official turned around and looked at Li Jingde.His eyes lingered on Li Jingde for a long time, and finally moved away to look at Tang Shen. "Are you the official from Song who is in charge of receiving us?"

Tang Shen was alarmed, he stepped forward and saluted politely: "Your Majesty, Tang Shen, may I ask you, is the Prince Taibao Yeluyin?"

Yeluyin snorted out of his nose, as a sign of agreement.

Tang Shendao: "All the envoys from the Liao Kingdom came to our Song Dynasty for the first time, and I will welcome you well. You just arrived yesterday, and you are still packing your bags today. The journey is exhausting, so the officials will not bother you. Today, I am here with you. Greetings to all the envoys, when I come tomorrow, I will take you to visit my Shengjing City and see the scenery of the Great Song Dynasty."

Yeluyin smiled and said, "If you want to see each other, there will be plenty of time to see you later."

Hearing this, many people still didn't understand what it meant, but Tang Shen's complexion changed, this time, even Li Jingde's complexion changed.No wonder other things, if Yeluyin said something else, Li Jingde might still not understand.But Li Jingde heard this sentence said many times by the Liao people on the Northwest battlefield.

When our iron cavalry from the Liao Kingdom breaks through the soil of the Song Dynasty and arrives at Shengjing, we will see all the scenery of your Great Song Dynasty full of mountains and rivers!

Liao people actually regard Shengjing City as their own back garden, it's really deceiving!

Li Jingde clenched his fingers tightly, Tang Shen looked at Yeluyin, he smiled slightly, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "There is an old saying in my Song Dynasty, that one leaf can't see Mount Tai. If Master Yeluyin doesn't remove this leaf himself, how can he see the majestic Mount Tai? See my prosperous Dasong Heshan."

Yeluyin snorted and ignored Tang Shen.

Everyone turned around and left the posthouse together. When they were leaving, Liao Guan wanted to provoke Tang Shen and the others, but Li Jingde glared at him angrily.

Except for the third prince Yeluhan, Zhigulu was the strongest warrior among the Liao people present.But under Li Jingde's command, he couldn't even last a single move.If this Song official warrior went to the Liao Kingdom, he might become the number one warrior of the Liao Kingdom personally appointed by the Liao Emperor.

On the first day when the Liao people came to Beijing, Tang Shen used Li Jingde to greatly dampen the spirit of the Liao people and make the Liao people temporarily calm down.

After they left, Yeluyin gave Yeluqin a squinting look, and said, "Master Han'ersi, just take care of your own affairs, the third prince is someone you can order. Can you stop him from doing anything? "

Yeluqin looked down at the ground with gloomy eyes, and said honestly: "I see, thank you, Master Taibao, for reminding me."

Yeluyin didn't even look at him, and left with Yeluhan.

When only the two of them were left, Yeluyin said to Yeluhan with a sullen face: "Third prince, I am waiting for this time to come to the Song Dynasty. Others don't know why, but you still don't know? Before leaving, the Grand Master gave an order, We need to find out the reality of the Song people, how they have stayed in Youzhou for so long, and where did they get the supplies and military supplies! Is it really related to the official road built by the Song people two years ago, or is there something else? Mystery."

Yeluhan defended himself and said, "Master Taibao, how can I, Daliao Erlang, suffer such humiliation?"

"Then you won't do what the Grand Master ordered!"

When "Master Grand Master" was mentioned, Yeluhan dared not speak any more.He lowered his head, and said in a weak voice, "I'm all listening to Master Taibao."

After Tang Shen left, he didn't go home, but went straight to the Ministry of Rites.

Meng Lang, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, is not working in the Palace of Qinzheng today, but in the Ministry of Rites.After seeing Meng Lang, Tang Shen told all about what happened today.But he concealed Li Jingde's identity, and only said that he brought a guard of the Song Dynasty to defeat the Liao people.

After Meng Lang heard this, he said, "Yeluyin is the Prince Taibao and the official from the north. The court of the Liao people is divided into the north and the south. The officials in the north are in charge of the central government, and the officials in the south are in charge of contacting the Han people. Listen to what you said, It seems that Yeluyin really looked down on Nanmian officials and Yeluqin as the rumors said. But they have always had conflicts between the northern and southern courts." After a pause, Meng Lang smiled and said, "Master Tang is really a pillar of the country. Liao people come here every time I, Song Dynasty, always show off my power and make a show of my power. Today is probably the first time I have suffered a disadvantage."

Tang Shen cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Meng has been overrated, and the lower officials are terrified."

"There's no need to be alarmed. I'm afraid that when others mention Mr. Tang today, they will still say that he is Mr. Wang's senior brother. When Mr. Wang is mentioned tomorrow, he will become Mr. Tang's senior brother." Tang Shen felt relieved, and wondered if there would be a day when Wang Zifeng wanted to blow his rainbow fart?As soon as Meng Lang gave Tianzao, he gave him a big stick: "Tomorrow, I will continue to hand over this job to Mr. Tang."

Sure enough, there is no rainbow fart for nothing in the world.

Tang Shen sighed, knowing that he would not be able to escape, he took his order and left.

Meng Lang exploited Tang Shen, thinking that Tang Shen could only complete his errand by exploiting Wang Zifeng.But they didn't know that after Tang Shen walked out of the Ministry of Rites, he silently came to the Hall of Qinzheng, saluted Li Jingde who was eating melons in the courtyard, and said, "General Li is so brave, I admire him very much. If there is no general here today, I will be bullied by those Liao people when I wait for Song people."

Li Jingde threw the melon rind and clapped his hands: "Those Liao people are all reckless men with little strength, I'm afraid he will do something."

Tang Shen thought, you are not much better than them.

"Tomorrow, will the general come again?"

"Naturally, why not come!"

Tang Shen held back his smile, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty is waiting for the general in the Palace of Qinzheng."

Even though Li Jingde was standing in front of him, if anything happened, he, the second rank marshal, would take care of it.But Tang Shen couldn't really just throw both hands away and become a hands-off shopkeeper.Back home, he thought about how to deal with those Liao people tomorrow.At this moment Don Juan knocked on the door and entered.

Tang Juan held an account book and handed it to Tang Shen, which was the Tang family's general account book for this quarter.

Tang Shen read it quickly.

Tang Juan said: "Brother, after sending out those orders according to what you said, the business of our Zhenbao Pavilion has improved by [-]%! How did you come up with such a good idea? Shopkeeper Lu sighed to me today."

Tang Juan squeezed his throat, imitating the appearance and voice of shopkeeper Lu, and said old-fashionedly: "If the little boss doesn't go to be an official and concentrates on doing business, my Tang family's business will have spread throughout the Song Dynasty!"
