Before Li Zhang went to the Liao Kingdom, he was ready to have a conflict with the Khitans, so he didn't care about the conflict yesterday. However, he didn't expect that Yelu Zuoya was so angry that he was unwilling to leave the next day. It seemed that he wanted to use this to put pressure on Li Zhang.

However, Li Zhang was also very bachelor, so he directly told Yelu Zuoya that if he was unwilling to take him to continue moving forward, he would go back to Xijin Mansion to find his immediate superior today. Anyway, he is an envoy, and if he cannot be sent to Zhongjing, the upper class of the Liao Kingdom will definitely blame him. The people who suffer losses will be the ones from Xijin Mansion.

Faced with Li Zhang's strength, Yelu Zuoya could only grit his teeth and swallow it. He was really afraid that Li Zhang would reply to Jinfu to sue him. After all, Li Zhang and the others were envoys, and sending them to Zhongjing was his own task. If his task was not completed and his superiors were blamed by his superiors, he would not have any good results.

In desperation, Yelu Zuoya had to set off again with Li Zhang and the others. When passing through this dilapidated Great Wall, Li Zhang, Fu Bi and others also showed a bit of sadness. On the contrary, Yelu Zuoya and others were full of pride. After all, this Great Wall was originally built by the Han people to guard against them, but now it is in their hands. It can be said that this Great Wall represents their glory and is also a shame for the Han people.

Looking at this dilapidated Great Wall, Li Zhang sighed deeply, and then said nothing, but urged the team to move forward quickly. However, he also secretly swore in his heart that he would definitely take back the place in the future. No, not only to take it back, but he would also let the Song horses trample on Liaodong and completely destroy the Liao Kingdom, the enemy!

During the next period, Li Zhang and the others continued to rush on their way. Yelu Zuoya also found something from time to time, but Li Zhang was extremely tough. One time, Yelu Zuoya actually proposed a warrior and sent a warrior under him, but his legs were directly broken by a wild dog. Since then, Yelu Zuoya has finally become much more honest.

The Spring Festival has passed, and the weather in Kaifeng must have become warmer, but it is still very cold in Liaodong. Many soldiers' hands and feet were frostbite, and even Li Zhang's hands were frostbite. Frostbite is annoying. It is difficult to recover unless the weather turns warmer. Moreover, the frostbite location is extremely itchy when it is warmer, which can torture people to death.

However, although the journey was hard, they finally entered the territory of Zhongjing Dading Prefecture. After walking forward for a few days, Zhongjing City finally appeared in front of everyone, which made Li Zhang finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Zhongjing is the capital of the Liao Kingdom, and the other four Kyotos are just accompanying the capital. However, it is worth mentioning that the Emperor of Liao Kingdom was not in Zhongjing because the Liao Kingdom was a nomadic people. In order to maintain its own tradition, the Emperor of Liao Kingdom had his own palace, which was called "Nabo" in Khitan. There is a special place to patrol every season, and Nabo is the political center of the Liao Kingdom.

However, although the Emperor of Liao was not in Zhongjing, it was the capital of Liao after all, so many political institutions were also located here. As a mission, Li Zhang and others needed to report to Zhongjing first, and then the officials of Zhongjing sent them to the Liao emperor's palace. The palace was not only the emperor and his concubines, but also important ministers and nobles were with the emperor. This also made the palace very large and could be said to be a mobile city.

Li Zhang had never seen the palace of the Emperor of Liao, and it was only the information he collected before. In fact, he was also quite curious about the palace of the Emperor of Liao. After all, in history, the emperor did not stay in the capital, but instead followed the palace, the only emperors in the Liao Dynasty were the only one dynasty.

In the afternoon of that day, Li Zhang and the others finally entered Zhongjing City. After entering the capital of Liao, Li Zhang unconsciously compared it with Tokyo Bianliang. However, Li Zhang soon curled his lips with disdain. Zhongjing City is indeed not small in scale, and the city walls are also very tall and sturdy. If you look at it from the outside, this giant city does not seem to be much worse than Tokyo Bianliang.

But when they entered the city, they immediately felt the gap. As long as there was no curfew in Bianliang in Tokyo, the roads were crowded with people, and there were shops on both sides of the streets that opened their doors to do business. Small vendors who were rushing to the scene were everywhere, and shouting came one after another. It can be said that when you enter Tokyo, the word "prosperity" would immediately pop up in your mind.

In contrast, the Liao Dynasty Zhongjing was much worse. Although there were many people on the street, there were fewer shops, which made the business here seem very underdeveloped. Especially after passing the bustling area at the city gate, when walking forward, there were many pedestrians on the street immediately. Except for some gorgeously dressed nobles and wealthy people, most of the remaining ordinary people were dressed in shabby clothes, and many were patched, which seemed to be very different from the ordinary people in Tokyo.

Looking at the sparsely populated streets even made Li Zhang feel depressed, but it was normal to think about it. The previous rebellion of Dayanlin caused a serious blow to the Liao Kingdom. Even if the rebellion has been put down now, the Liao Kingdom may not be able to recover in a short period of time. In addition, Li Zhang remembers that Yelu Longxu may not be able to support this year. When the powers of the new and old imperial alternate, there may be another turmoil in Liao. Maybe there will be a chance.

Thinking of the above, Li Zhang felt that he was in a much better mood. Then their mission was arranged to stay in the inn in Zhongjing for a while. The hateful Yelu Zuoya finally separated from them. Next, he had to wait for the Liao Kingdom to arrange people to send them to see Yelu Longxu.

The official system of the Song Dynasty was very complicated, and the Liao Kingdom was not worse than that of the Song Dynasty in this regard. The officials in the south and the officials in the north each had an administrative organization. Each organization mainly inherited the one from the Tang Dynasty, but it was affected by the Song Dynasty and had some changes. In addition, the core of the Liao Kingdom's court also had their unique mechanism. If you don't study it carefully, ordinary people would not understand it at all.

However, the above had nothing to do with Li Zhang. He just needed to wait for the Liao Kingdom to send people. During the waiting days, he asked the delegation members to make a move around Zhongjing and inquire about the news. He actually got a rumor that was not confirmed.
