Chapter 148 Confrontation (Part 2)

"Nonsense, you were stalking on the street yesterday. If we hadn't stopped you, the people of the Song Dynasty would have been hit and injured by you. At that time, countless people could have witnessed me. Now your princess has run away and she actually framed this charge on my head. It's shameless!" Li Zhang immediately retorted directly.

"Hmph, you are just a small companion, how could there be so many guards? I even captured us at the inn yesterday and did not allow us to look for the princess. It was obviously a premeditated!" Yelu Yanshou blamed him again without showing any weakness. It seemed that he did not know that Liu E was the one who ordered him to be arrested yesterday, and he almost ran into Liu E and Zhao Zhen and his son yesterday.

"What is guard? It's obvious that the guests in the restaurant can't stand your evil deeds, so they helped. If it weren't for your mission of the Liao Kingdom, you should have arrested you and threw you into prison yesterday!" Li Zhang also made a quibble. Anyway, the guards Liu E brought yesterday were all in casual clothes, and Liu E seemed to be unwilling to let people know that she was also in the restaurant yesterday, so Li Zhang dared to make such a bold argument.

"It's all nonsense, those people have evidence to advance and retreat. They are clearly well-trained soldiers. Do you think we are blind?" Yelu Yanshou was also very angry by Li Zhang at this time. If he weren't in the Chuigong Hall, he would probably have cursed Li Zhang.

"Envoy Yelu's words are bad. The people of our Song Dynasty have always been martial. If you ride horses on the streets, you will naturally anger the people of our Song Dynasty. It is not easy for you to escape without any trouble. As for your princess, she escaped by herself. What does it have to do with me, the Song Dynasty?" At this moment, Ding Wei, who had not spoken, finally expressed his opinion that although he had a bad character, he was the prime minister of the Song Dynasty after all, so he would naturally look to Li Zhang.

When Li Zhang heard Ding Wei actually spoke for him, he looked at the other party in surprise, but then he found that Ding Wei looked at Liu E behind the screen meaningfully, which made him react suddenly. Liu E brought Zhao Zhen out of the palace yesterday, so it was definitely impossible for Ding Wei to hide it. So instead of saying that he was helping him, it would be better to say that he was concealing Liu E. After all, Liu E and his mother were related to the face of the Song Dynasty, which was much more important than him.

"You... you are too bullying people in the Song Dynasty. If the princess is lost in your Song Dynasty, you have the responsibility to get the princess back. Otherwise, I can only go back and report this matter to Your Majesty!" Yelu Yanshou also said anxiously at this time. He could not say that Li Zhang and Ding Wei, so he could only use the last method. If he brought the mission to send a bride to Liao Kingdom and then add fuel to the fire, it would probably trigger a conflict between the two countries in the end.

Although Yelu Yanshou was unreasonable, his move really hit the pain of the king and ministers of the Song Dynasty. After all, the Song Dynasty was in a military weakness. Faced with the threat from the Liao Kingdom, if they did not want to make the matter big, they would have to compromise in the end and even pay a certain price to calm the matter down.

"Hmph! Right is right, wrong is wrong. It is obviously your own fault. Why did we, Dasong, take responsibility? Do you really think that Dasong is afraid that you will not be able to do it?" However, Li Di had a tough temper. At this time, not only did he not accept Yelu Yanshou's threat, but instead snorted coldly and replied with a very tough heart.

"That's nothing to talk about, say goodbye!" Yelu Yanshou was originally a very arrogant person, but now he was forced to do so by Li Di. He snorted coldly at the moment, and after that, he turned around and left the hall. Liu E didn't even say a word from beginning to end, nor did he keep Yelu Yanshou.

"Empress, although Yelu Yanshou is quite unreasonable, if he really goes back, it will be difficult to deal with the next thing!" After watching Yelu Yanshou leave the hall, Ding Wei stepped forward again.

"What's wrong with dealing with? I don't believe that the Liao Kingdom will fight with us because of this kind of thing!" Li Di said angrily again. The current emperor of Liao Kingdom was named Yelu Longxu. After his mother Empress Xiao died, Yelu Longxu had always maintained a relatively friendly relationship with the Song Dynasty, and they also had constant exchanges with each other. This is also the reason why Li Di believed that the Liao Kingdom would not go to war with the Song Dynasty because of this kind.

"Even if the war is not started, the Liao Kingdom is strong, and I am afraid that they will do some tricks in secret. What's more, the princess of the Liao Kingdom was indeed lost in our capital, so we cannot not take any responsibility!" Ding Wei seemed much more rational and his analysis was very reasonable. In fact, although Ding Wei had a bad character, no matter his enemies and friends, he praised his talents. Even a tough person as Kou Zhun had repeatedly asked Ding Wei to serve as his assistant because he was attracted by his ability.

"Okay, don't argue anymore. This is not our fault, but I can't stand by. Let me do this. Ding Xiang, you can send someone to stabilize the Liao delegation first, and at the same time send additional personnel to search the whereabouts of the Liao princess, but you must not reveal any news." At this time, Liu E behind the screen finally spoke and ordered.

"At this point, this is the only way!" Ding Wei nodded when he heard Liu E's order. Now he could only hope to find the princess of the Liao Kingdom. If he couldn't find it, he could only make the worst plan.

The matter has been discussed, and Ding Wei said goodbye and left. After all, he still needs to deal with this matter himself. However, when he left, he looked at Li Zhang. Although he didn't say anything, he smiled kindly at him. However, Li Zhang felt a tightness in his heart. He dared not accept Ding Wei's kindness, after all, this guy's unlucky days are not far away.

Li Di also took Li Zhang away with him, and Liu E did not leave Li Zhang alone, because he knew that Li Zhang was a smart person. Since he did not tell the story of her and Zhao Zhen’s presence yesterday, it means that he knew the importance of it, and he didn’t need to specifically ask Li Zhang to keep it secret.

In the next few days, several yamen including Dali Temple, Imperial City Division, Tizheng Division and other yamen began to search for suspicious people in the capital, but they only knew that the Liao delegation had lost a woman, and they did not know that this woman was the princess of the Liao Kingdom.

Li Zhang has been paying attention to this matter. After all, it was because of him, so he went out early and came back late every day. In this way, if there was any news, he could get it from Zhao Zhen earlier. However, a few days passed, and several yamen almost turned over the Tokyo city, but they still found nothing.
