Looking at the tall city wall in front of him, Xiao Dui said: "This is Shengzhou City! It's worth it!"

Li Ning whispered: "Shengzhou is the most prosperous place within thousands of miles of the surrounding area. When you get inside, be careful. Before leaving, the master repeatedly told us that we should not be known to others to hide this time, so as not to mislead things."

Xiao Dui said: "I know that I just don't talk to others. When I arrive in such a big city, I always have to go shopping and see how prosperous it is. Besides, we are merchants, so we should always buy some goods."

Li Ning shook his head, really didn't know what to say about this little master. This time he came to Shengzhou, he was responsible for his great relationship, but he only wanted to eat, drink, play, and even did business, but he didn't take the main business to heart.

When we arrived near the cargo yard, the merchants stored the goods and lived in familiar guest rooms. Li Ning made arrangements and said to Xiao Dui: "I just said that we will go to see the scenery of Shengzhou, and others will not be suspicious. Taking this opportunity, we will quickly go to the Shengzhou official office, fight to Mr. Han, and then talk about the matter. If we do this, we can also have some fun in Shengzhou."

Xiao Dui was a little resistant and did not want to see Han Qi. I heard that this Gun Han had been the Privy Councilor of the Song Dynasty and destroyed Dangxiang. He was not a good person. I don’t know what letter my father wrote to him, so he insisted on handing over it himself.

After twisting for a while, he couldn't resist Li Ning's repeated urging, so Xiao Dui had to leave the inn with him.

Han Qi and Fu Bi shared the Mansion. Li Ning and Xiao Dui asked for the way together and came straight to the scene. When they arrived at the door of the mansion, they saw the guard at the door. Xiao Dui said, "How to report to you? You can't lie in front of the guard."

Li Ning had no choice but to go forward and said to the guards: "Two officials, we are merchants from Khitan. We have important matters to see our husbands. Please report it to me, I am grateful."

The guard looked at the two of them and said coldly: "Why can anyone see your husband? Who are you?"

Li Ning said: "We are businessmen in Khitan. If we have important matters, we should talk about them with our husband. This matter is extremely important. Please ask the official to report it. If it is delayed, I am afraid-"

The guard heard this and sneered: "You businessmen, dozens of chunks of money are a huge matter. They all come to ask the boss for the boss. How many national affairs are there for the boss? How can you see you every day? Leave here quickly, otherwise you will be arrested in prison!"

Seeing that it was not the head, Xiao Dui hurried forward and quietly pulled Li Ning's sleeve: "Zhiyuan, we should go back first and find an opportunity to come again."

While there was a noise here, Zhao Zi came in from outside, looked at Li Ning and Xiao Dui, and said, "What are you doing? Why are you noisy here? Is it a place to make trouble in front of the government?"

When Li Ning saw Zhao Zi's official uniform, he knew that he was a high-ranking official of the Song Dynasty, so he hurriedly bowed: "I have met the Taiwei. We are merchants from the Khitan. If you have important matters, you will see the Master of the Master. These guards stopped him and refused to enter. Please ask the Taiwei to be polite."

Zhao Zi looked at the two of them up and down, and didn't look like a traitor. He was soft-hearted for a moment and said to the guards: "Tell them all. By the way, which husband do you want to meet? Is husband rich, or husband Han?"

Li Ning hurriedly said, "Go back to the Grand Marshal, I want to see Grand Duke Han."

The guard looked at the two of them, followed Zhao Zi's instructions, and hurried into the mansion to inform Han Qi.

Han Qi was discussing matters with Fu Bi. When he heard that it was Zhao Zi's instructions to come in, he ordered Li Ning and Xiao Dui to bring in.

After entering the official hall, Li Ning saw two officials, and thought it was Han and Fu, and hurriedly bowed.

Han Qi said: "The guard said you have something important to see me, what's the matter?"

Li Ning bowed carefully and said, "My master said he wanted to meet Mr. Han Qi, and I dare to ask--"

Han Qi nodded: "It's me. On that side, it's Fu Bi, the governor of Hequ Road."

Li Ning breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly signaled to Xiao Dui on the side, and quickly handed the letter to Han Qi.

Xiao Dui was standing there in a daze, and Li Ning signaled that he took out a letter from his underwear and went forward and said, "My father ordered that Mr. Han personally release this letter. We both came here because of this."

Han Qi took the letter in his hand, looked at it, opened the seal. After a rough look, he hurriedly closed it, looked at the two of them, and said in a deep voice: "Who are you? Who asked you to come?"

Li Ning said: "Below is Li Ning, the butler of Xiao Mansion. This one is the second son of King Xiao, Xiao Dui. He is ordered by the king to send a letter to the minister."

Han Qi nodded: "So that's it. I was slow just now. You guys go down and rest first. If there is anything, I will know you."

After saying that, he ordered the guards on the side to take Li Ning and Xiao Dui down to rest.

Li Ning hurriedly said, "Mr., we are pretending to be businessmen and have already booked a hotel outside. If we don't go back in time, we will be afraid of arousing suspicion from our companions. Before coming, the owner repeatedly told us that the matter was confidential and that we should not be seen through. It is better for us to go back to the hotel and wait. If you have any business, just send someone to the hotel to inform us."

Han Qi thought for a while and nodded, "That's good. You won't have anything to do in Shengzhou City. - By the way, I sent someone to do business with you. Let's take a look at the scenery of Shengzhou with you these days."

Li Ning knew that Han Qi was sending someone to protect him, but he was afraid of accidents and dared not refuse, so he bowed to thank him.

Han Qi sent someone to go out with Li Ning and Xiao Dui. It was not until the two of them walked far away that they said to Fu Bi on the side: "Master, do you know who wrote this letter? It was really a pillow when someone was sleeping!"

Fu Bi said: "Can it be written by Yelu Chongyuan? He has been ineffective in war recently, and many people have defected under his command. He is in trouble with internal and external affairs. It is reasonable to surrender to this dynasty. Isn't my husband coming here for Xijing Road? Chongyuan is willing to surrender, of course, a great thing."

Han Qi said: "It was not written by Chongyuan, but this person is also an amazing person. The letter was written by Xiao Ge from Chongyuan. The two people who came to deliver the letter were Xiao Ge's housekeeper and the other was his second son."

Fu Bi said: "Oh, I don't want it but Xiao Ge wrote it. He is the most important official under Chongyuan. He is mostly in his hands, and his military and political power is not comparable to others. Now the situation in Chongyuan is unfavorable. Does Xiao Ge want to find a way out for himself?"

Han Qi nodded: "That's true. He said in the letter that he was willing to contribute to the wealth of the rest of his life with Xijing Road."

While talking, Han Qi read the letter carefully and handed it to Fu Bi.

Fu Bi took the letter and read it, "This Xiao Ge is generous. He said that as long as the court accepts it, he will bring the entire Xijing Road to offer. But then again, can he be the master of Xijing Road? Yelu Hongji has reached the natural success, and half of Xijing Road is gone, so what will he offer!"

Han Qi smiled and said, "I asked for the price all over the sky and paid it back on the ground. Xiao Ge is asking for the price. In fact, we also know that I am afraid that Xiao Ge can make the decision and cannot offer it to Xijing Road. The most important thing is that we know that Xiao Ge intends to surrender to the court, which is enough. The Shufu wants us to seize it, which is originally Shuozhou. With Xiao Ge as his internal support, this state is still easy."

Fu Bi nodded: "Yes, Xiao Ge is the first important official under Chongyuan, and it is not difficult to have a city in Shuozhou. However, looking at Xiao Ge's tone in the letter, he was afraid that he would not be worthy of his identity."
