Xiao Siwen sat in the lobby of Yingzhou headquarters, pondered for a long time, and said, "There must be something strange!"

Fan Zhongyi said: "The officials dared to speculate that the Xu court set a trap for Yang Ye, just as he treated Luo Yanhuan. But this trap had just begun, but Yang Ye was more alert than Luo Yanhuan and returned to his own territory in Hedong in advance..."

Yang Gun asked bluntly: "What trap?"

Fan Zhongyi spread his hands and said, "Now we don't know anything, I'm just suppose there is a trap."

Yang Gun asked again: "Guo Blacksmith has great trust in Yang Ye, so Yang Ye still led Hedong troops as a general in the Eastern Han Dynasty (Northern Han Dynasty). In this case, why did Guo Blacksmith set up a trap for Yang Ye?"

Fan Zhongyi said: "If the poison in Guo Blacksmith's body has entered the five internal organs, what if he knows that there is not much time? Can Yang Ye recognize Guo Blacksmith and Guo Blacksmith's son?"

Yang Gun could not argue, but refused to admit defeat: "The speculation of Fan's affairs has no evidence."

At this time, Xiao Siwen slapped his chair and said, "It's time to go back to Beijing."

Yang Gun said: "Duke Xiao, let's give up the situation in western Liaoning?"

Xiao Siwen was suddenly a little displeased and said earnestly: "Your vision is still a little smaller. Whether in western Liaoning or Hedong, there is only one enemy of the Great Liao: Xu Guo."

After saying that, he exhaled, stood up from the chair, and said, "I have to send someone to Hedong to meet Yang Ye and see what's going on."

Yelu Xizhen asked: "Who is Xiao Gong thinking suitable?"

Xiao Siwen's eyes swept across Yang Gun and Fan Zhongyi's faces. Yang Gun's expression suddenly changed, very ugly, and the lobby suddenly fell silent. Unexpectedly, Xiao Siwen pointed at Fan Zhongyi and said, "Go to Fan Mansion."

"Duke Xiao." Fan Zhongyi hurriedly said, "Our detailed work in Xu State is always under the control of the subordinates. If the officials are unpredictable..."

Xiao Siwen said: "Avoid light and make serious. This kind of thing must be qualified by those trusted by me. If the Fan Mansion is to be recognized by the nobles of various tribes as Khitan, I am also thinking of a way to convince the public, right?"

"Yes, the lower official obeys the order." Fan Zhongyi said helplessly with his fists.

Xiao Siwen said: "If you are ready, you don't have to go to Beijing with us."

...Fan Zhongyi left the lobby of the headquarters and returned to his residence to pack up his things. The place where he lived in Yingzhou was now in chaos, just like his mood at this moment.

Last time, Xiao Siwen sent someone to contact the general Li Chuyun of Xu, but was directly chopped down. It has only been two or three months since this matter has happened. Can Fan Zhongyi not worry about his own fate?

He walked back and forth in front of the window, raised his head and looked up at the scene outside the window, took a deep breath and fell into deep thought.

Did Yang Ye in Hedong have a quarrel with the Xu court? It is related to Fan Zhongyi's life and death? If the guess is wrong, Fan Zhongyi will definitely be caught when he is sent to the door as an envoy of the Great Liao Dynasty!

The key is that Daliao is not sure what Yang Ye’s behavior means now.

But Xiao Siwen didn't have to be sure before he could react. He would want to try it whenever he had the chance; it was like sending someone to talk to Li Chuyun last time. Anyway, it was a business that was not enough to disagree with Xu's monarch and ministers.

Fan Zhongyi felt that the one who knows Xiao Siwen’s mind best was probably himself... What Xiao Siwen wanted to see the most was the collapse of Xu's domestic chaos. In this way, it would not only eliminate the external pressure of the Liao Dynasty, but also have the opportunity to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun! After Xiao Siwen became the Privy Councilor of the Northern Court, he had actually become the ruling leader of the Liao Dynasty. This was his ruling ambition!

When he lost the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, Xiao Siwen finally threw the blame to the "Brave Lord" Yelu Jing, but he himself could not escape the relationship. If Xiao Siwen could recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun during his time in charge of the country, the prestige and status of Yelu Xian's power circle in that dynasty would be the greatest stability, and Xiao Siwen himself could become a famous minister who has been famous throughout history.

...Fan Zhongyi packed his luggage and mood, and finally took his followers and a few horses to his itinerary, because he had no choice.

Half a month later, under the guidance of the Tatar guide, Fan Zhongyi and others approached Yunzhou's jurisdiction (now near Datong).

Yunzhou was originally an important border town in the southern border of the Great Liao Dynasty, but after the Battle of Youzhou, the late Emperor Yelu Jing of the Liao Kingdom was assassinated and civil strife in Shangjing, and people everywhere were panicked. The Khitan Guard of Yunzhou gave up the city when he was threatened by Xuzhou and was then controlled by Xu State.

Fan Zhongyi stood at the foot of the continuous Great Wall and looked up at the old building with mottled walls. He felt very strange. He was originally a Han Chinese, but now he looked at this wall without any feeling of closeness and comfort, because the Han Chinese inside the wall were no longer his backing, and he did not accept him, and only the Khitans were.

The Great Wall was disrepair for many years, and no soldiers were stationed. Xu State had been fighting for years, and after recapturing Yunzhou, there seemed to be no room for repair of the old Great Wall, and he was even less able to draw troops to garrison. However, the main reason was probably that Xu State implemented the offensive and pioneering national policy at this time, and the defensive power was limited.

Fan Zhongyi easily found a collapsed gap and easily crossed the Great Wall.

As soon as they came down from the hillside of the ruins of the Great Wall, they suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves. Fan Zhongyi hurriedly looked at it, and saw three riders riding horses. When he looked left and right, two more riders rushed up a hillside on the right wing.

The follower turned around and ran away in fear, climbing up the hillside in panic along the way. Suddenly, Fan Zhongyi was also a little panicked and couldn't help but take two steps back.

"Dadadada..." Amid the rapid sound of horse hooves, Fan Zhongyi felt that his chest was suffocating. As soon as he came down from the mountain, he felt nervous and suddenly heard his heavy breathing sound like a bellows.

But I soon saw the helmet worn by the rider. The semi-circular helmet had a short and narrow brim and red tassels tied on it. It was dressed by Han'er cavalry... At least they were soldiers, and they were already part of Yunzhou territory within the Great Wall, and soldiers must be the troops of Xu Guohe East Army.

"Pai!" Two powerful string sounds in the wind. Before Fan Zhongyi could react, he felt a strong wind passing by his face, and the arrow pierced into the soil not far away, and the arrow tail wings were still trembling rapidly from left to right.

Fan Zhongyi widened his eyes, was stunned for a moment, and quickly turned around and shouted, "Don't shoot arrows! You are my own!"

Xu Jun scouted the cavalry and rushed towards him and aimed the two people on the slope with arrows. The two followers had to beg for mercy and come down by themselves.

A knight raised his bow and pointed at Fan Zhongyi: "Where did the person come from? What do you want to do?"

Fan Zhongyi said: "Caomin is Zhu Mofu, a Han craftsman who went to Beijing. We were looted by the Khitans. Caomin was entrusted by the tribe and wanted to see General Yang!"

After hearing this, the knight was skeptical and immediately said, "Take it back to Yunzhou!"

Several people were tied up with ropes, and their horses were also taken away. They followed the team of cavalry to Yunzhou on foot. After arriving in Yunzhou, they were thrown into a dilapidated and low house. No one was inquired for two days, and only some rice and white water were sent.

Two days later, a general came and asked some questions.

Fan Zhongyi insisted that there was something important to meet Yang Ye. The general left without much inquiring.

The next day, several soldiers opened the door and threw their luggage to Fan Zhongyi and others, but the horses disappeared. Fan Zhongyi checked a little and found that the things in the package had been searched for very messy, and the copper coins inside disappeared.

They set off again and walked south with the horse-riding soldiers. A few days later, they arrived at Yanmen Pass. Fan Zhongyi arrived here for the first time, but there were three big Chinese characters engraved above the gate: Yanmen Pass.

The road was very difficult to walk. The group passed by a town in the earthen wall and arrived at another city: Daizhou.

After entering the city, three waves of people came to discuss. Later, a civil servant came and said to the young general who escorted Fan Zhongyi: "The general is busy with official duties, so take them to the office next to the military mansion and settle for the time being, and wait for General Yang to summon him when he has time."

Fan Zhongyi was hungry and thirsty at this time, exhausted and had not taken a shower for many days, and was very embarrassed like a prisoner. He didn't say a word, just looked, just listened and didn't speak.

So the civil servant took them to walk in the city for a while. When passing a yamen, he saw a noisy at the gate. Fan Zhongyi's little eyes quietly glanced at the words on the gate from his messy hair: Hedong Army Front Camp Military Mansion.

Several people wearing official uniforms and black shiny at the gate were shouting, and a group of soldiers stopped them with cherry guns. In the noisy, someone heard someone saying, "Call Yang Dashui! Why don't we go out?"

Someone behind the soldiers said, "You will discuss matters in the lobby first, be at ease, and the commander will talk to you later."

At this moment, the civil servant of Fan Zhongyi's side said, "Let's go, let's go!"

Everyone hurriedly walked along the street and saw a large group of soldiers wearing strong and holding sharp edges coming towards them, all of whom were trotting forward in a row, looking hurried.

Fan Zhongyi came all the way and felt that although this Daizhou was a border city, it looked too decay now. He saw ten people along the way, all of whom were soldiers! Whether the people or soldiers, they were all in a hurry as if something urgent had happened.

Fan Zhongyi immediately judged in his heart: Something must have happened in Daizhou!

Finally arrived at the place, Fan Zhongyi said, "Tang Zun, we are not spies, we are Han people."

The official was called the Lord of the Tang Dynasty and immediately felt very helpful and spoke a lot more politely: "I know, please wait a moment, please wait."

Fan Zhongyi took the opportunity to look confused again: "What's going on the street?"

Guan'er said: "It is reported that the Liao people took advantage of the matter in Daxu and raised an army to go south to threaten Hedong. It's okay, the general guarding Hedong is as stable as a rock!"

"Oh..." Fan Zhongyi looked suddenly.

Fan Zhongyi is an official of the Privy Council of the Great Liao Dynasty. He was next to Xiao Siwen before leaving the Great Liao Dynasty. When will the Great Liao attack Hedong?

He quietly entered the gate of a villa. Unexpectedly, before he could walk in, a young general suddenly came and said in a deep voice beside the civil servant: "The General said that these people should not be kept here, and brought them with me in the future."

When Fan Zhongyi heard this, he felt that he would not wait for Daizhou for too long. Yang Ye already knew his existence and sounded very important.

"You are leaving with this general, I will make a deal." The official said just now.
Chapter completed!
