Chapter 403 is leaving
In Li Zhang's tent, Yelu Zhirang looked at the letter written to him by his sister Yan Niang, and the expression on his face was also happy and sad. When he saw the end, he couldn't stop crying. Li Zhang next to him was also moved in his heart. He could see that Yelu Zhirang's feelings were all from the heart. Unexpectedly, his relationship with Yan Niang was really deep. No wonder Yan Niang didn't want to contact her parents, but she just contacted this younger brother.
After finally waiting for Yelu Zhirang to stop crying after reading the letter, he realized that Li Zhang was still looking at him. He smiled embarrassedly and said, "Let the Zhongjun laugh. Thanks to the Zhongjun's care for his sister in recent years, please accept my greeting!"
Yelu Zhirang asked Li Zhang for a big tribute, but Li Zhang hurriedly helped him up and said, "You don't have to thank me, Yan Niang is also destined to be with me, and she has helped me a lot in recent years!"
At this time, Yelu Zhirang slowly calmed down and asked a lot about Yan Niang. Li Zhang also answered one by one. At the end, Yelu Zhirang wanted to wipe his tears, but it was getting too late at this time, so he finally got up and said goodbye. After all, he had to go back to report to Yelu Zongzhen.
After seeing Yelu Zhirang off, Li Zhang breathed a sigh of relief. Although Yelu Zhirang couldn't help much, as long as he could cover it up, he should be able to deal with this matter. Of course, Brother Xiao's gift must be delivered in time. After all, there is no need to offend the people of the Liao royal family at this time.
"Guardian, what did you say to this person? He was still angry just now. Why did he get angry after going in with you?" At this moment, Fu Bi suddenly walked over and asked Li Zhang curiously. In addition, he found that Yelu Zhi made his eyes red, as if he had just cried. Could it be that he was beaten to tears by theGuardian?
"Haha, don't think too much. Prepare the gifts given to Queen Xiao and send the gift list tomorrow so that our task will be almost completed!" Li Zhang did not explain, but smiled and ordered Fu Bi. They came here this time to visit the sick Yelu Longxu, and give some gifts, and there would be nothing else for them.
"Will we not wait a moment? If Emperor Liao really dies of illness, can we get the news as soon as possible?" Fu Bi asked unwillingly when he heard this. Although he was a Jinshi, he was suppressed by Fan Zhongyan's affairs before and his life was not satisfactory. Although this mission was a chore, if the news of Yelu Longxu's death could be transmitted back as soon as possible, he could also accumulate some reputation for him.
Li Zhang looked around at this time, then pulled Fu Bi to the room and said again: "I also hope Yelu Longxu died soon. There are many conflicts in Liao, especially the disagreement between Prince Liao's biological mother and Queen Xiao. There have been several conflicts before. If Yelu Longxu suddenly died, no one could suppress the conflict between the two. There will definitely be a big show at that time, but I am worried that the Liao Kingdom will not let us stay to watch the show."
"Duwei, what do you mean is that Liao will let us leave as soon as possible?" Fu Bi also heard what Li Zhang said, and frowned and asked. He also knew the conflict between Xiao Nojin and Xiao Bossa Ge. It was precisely because of this reason that he wanted to stay for a while. So that after Yelu Longxu passed away, they could also find out more information and monitor the movements of the Liao court at any time.
"Yes, Yelu Longxu's health is extremely bad. He almost died several times before, but he survived again. He probably knew that there were too many crises in Liao, so he wanted to hold on for a while. During this period, he should try his best to make some arrangements. If I were him, he would definitely drive our delegation away to avoid interfering in their internal struggles." Li Zhang analyzed very seriously at this time.
"That's true. If I were Emperor Liao, I would probably not be willing to have external forces intervene at this time. Now that our mission has been completed, he may find an excuse to send us away directly." Fu Bi nodded thoughtfully after hearing this.
Li Zhang's guess was indeed fulfilled soon. The day after he met Yelu Zhirang, the other party came again, but this time he was ordered by the Crown Prince Yelu Zongzhen to spread them. According to the information disclosed in advance by Yelu Zhirang, he should have sent them back to the Song Dynasty.
Yelu Zongzhen summoned Li Zhang again in the big tent that he gave the banquet last time, but no one else was with him this time. Moreover, compared to before, Yelu Zongzhen's face was full of fatigue. According to the news that Li Zhang got from Zhao Anren, Yelu Zongzhen had been guarding Yelu Longxu's bedside during this period, probably because he was afraid that Yelu Longxu would not be able to hold on.
"Envoy Li Zhong, my father asked me to inform you. He was very grateful to the Empress Dowager Song and the Emperor for their concern, so he prepared a lot of gifts this time, and there is also a letter, please take them back together!" Yelu Zongzhen seemed not in the mood to say too much to Li Zhang, and immediately announced directly when he saw him.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will definitely bring the letters back for Your Majesty, but I don't know if Your Majesty's health is fine?" Li Zhang nodded first, and then asked knowingly that when Yelu Zongzhen saw them, he always had a lofty attitude, which made Li Zhang very uncomfortable, so he deliberately made trouble for the other party.
"My father is in good health. You should prepare for your return sooner. I will arrange someone to escort you away later!" Sure enough, Li Zhang's words also hit the pain in Yelu Zongzhen's heart. He said again impatiently, and after he said that he wanted Li Zhang to leave.
But at this moment, Yelu Zhirang, who was accompanying Li Zhang, hesitated for a moment, then stood up and said to Yelu Zongzhen: "Your Highness, your subordinates are willing to escort the Song delegation away!"
"Zhiruo, you are going?" Yelu Zongzhen did not expect Yelu Zhirang to recommend himself. He was stunned for a moment and asked. Yelu Zhirang has been his companion since he was a child, and later served as a waiter in his own account, so he also knew very well about Yelu Zhirang's personality. If he remembered correctly, this was the first time Yelu Zhirang took the initiative to hold a position.
