Chapter 143: Meet again in the grassland

Shi Wei turned around and smiled and said, "I want to do anything to you, can't you still see it?"

"But why are you just now..." Yang Yanqi was embarrassed to finish her words.

What she was referring to was of course Shi Wei could clearly get her body, but in the end he let her go.

Shi Wei shrugged and said lightly: "I can do it anytime if I want to occupy your body, but I, Shi Wei, are not the kind of person who is not good-for-nothing. I want you to take the initiative to devote yourself to me."

Yang Yanqi was shy again, and in addition to that, her face showed disdain.

She snorted coldly and said, "If you have a surname Shi Wei, don't have that kind of indecent thought. Even if I, Yang Yanqi, die, I will never take the initiative to commit myself to a villain like you."

Shi Wei's eyes rolled a few times and said, "Let's do this, if Miss Yang has the courage, we might as well not make a bet."

"What bet?" Yang Yanqi suddenly became suspicious.

"We will bet on your fate of the Northern Han Dynasty."

Yang Yanqi frowned slightly, and her face was full of suspicion.

Shi Wei said slowly, "If the Northern Han still exists within a year, then let Miss Yang return home. If the Northern Han Dynasty is destroyed by my Song Dynasty a year later, Miss Yang will take the initiative to sacrifice herself to me. I don't know if this bet, Miss Yang will dare to fight."

Shi Wei's bet was not a nonsense.

Because before, Shi Wei had already found a slight gamble from Zhao Kuangyin that the founding ancestor of the Song Dynasty wanted to use the remaining power of the Southern Tang Dynasty to wipe out the Northern Han entrenched on the Taihang Mountains in one fell swoop, and then he would exert his efforts to deal with the Liao Kingdom.

Therefore, Shi Wei guessed that the Song court's use of troops against the Northern Han was imminent.

That's why Shi Wei dared to make this bet with her.

When Yang Yanqi heard Shi Wei's words, she was surprised, but her face felt a little disapproving.

The Northern Han Dynasty was not as small as the Southern Tang Dynasty. Although its country was small, it was supported by the powerful Liao Kingdom.

Over the past decades, from Later Zhou to the Song Dynasty, the Northern Han Dynasty still stood firm after many wars. Of course, Yang Yanqi did not believe that her country would be destroyed in just one year.

After pondering for a moment, Yang Yanqi said boldly: "Okay, if you have this courage, I, Yang Bamei, will make this bet with you."

Brother, I have a "plug" hidden in my mind. I dare to make bets with me. Hum, let's see how you fulfill your bet.

"Miss Yang is indeed brave. Then let's make a covenant here. See you again a year later."

Shi Weihao responded, and the two of them swear to the high-fives.

After making the bet, Shi Wei said again: "Miss Yang, our bet has also been established. I wonder if you plan to smash things in the future?"

Yang Yanqi snorted coldly: "Don't worry, I can still bear it for a year. I still have to eat and drink well, take good care of my health, and wait to go back to my hometown."

Shi Wei's plan also had the intention to comfort him. Seeing that Yang Yanqi was caught, he was relieved.

He smiled and said, "Miss Yang is really confident. Let's wait and see whoever loses and who wins by then."

After making a bet, Shi Wei turned around and left.

When he left the big iron gate, Pan Zisu was still waiting outside.

When Pan Zisu saw Shi Wei, a bit of strangeness appeared on her face.

When she saw Yang Yanqi in the yard, she no longer threw things like crazy, but instead started drinking tea casually, her expression became more and more surprised.

"Yuanzhi, what method did you use? Why did Miss Yang stop making trouble all of a sudden?" Pan Zisu asked curiously.

"The secrets of heaven cannot be revealed." Shi Wei smiled and pretended to be mysterious.

Pan Zisu paused and suddenly asked again: "Yuanzhi, who is Miss Yang? Why did you not respond to her... that way, she didn't respond."

Pan Zisu's words were concealed, and her cheeks were also slightly flushed. Obviously, what she was referring to was the fact that Shi Wei had just teared Yang Yanqi's clothes off.

"Where?" Shi Wei pretended to be confused and pretended to be confused.

"It's... it's just that you tear her clothes." Pan Zisu asked with a red face.

"So you are talking about that." Shi Weizuo suddenly realized and said casually: "Miss Yang's body was itchy just now, so I just scratched her."

Shi Wei made up a rather absurd reason, and Pan Zisu was stunned and didn't know how to respond.

Shi Wei took advantage of Pan Zisu's hesitation and quickly yawned and left with an excuse as if he was sleepy.

Pan Zisu looked at the distant back, then looked at Yang Yanqi who was drinking tea in the yard, frowned, and murmured: "It turns out that you are flirting with the flowers again..."

…………………………………………………………

After the movement of the capital was settled, the court, which was originally tense, quickly returned to its superficial calm.

Before winter came, spring came. After spring began, the emperor and the court moved back to Tokyo Bianliang.

As Shi Wei expected, shortly after he moved to Bianjing, Zhao Kuangyin ordered a large amount of food and grass to be transferred from Jiangnan to conquer and destroy the Northern Han separatist regime, which was soon put on the agenda.

After years of attack, the total population of the Northern Han Dynasty is less than 100,000, and the land where it is occupied is only a few states near the capital Taiyuan. It seems a bit conservative to describe it as a persistent stagnation.

Such a weak country has survived to this day simply because it relies on the protection of the Liao Kingdom.

The Liao Kingdom was definitely a hurdle that the Song Dynasty wanted to destroy the Northern Han Dynasty.

After entering Xia, Zhao Kuangyin formally appointed Shi Wei as an envoy and sent an envoy to the Liao Kingdom.

Shi Wei's mission was very simple. He notified the Liao Kingdom that the Song Dynasty would destroy the Han Dynasty and warned the Liao Kingdom not to act rashly, otherwise he would bear the consequences at his own risk.

In Shi Wei's impression, the Song Dynasty was always bullied by the Liao Kingdom, but now he was ordered to go and warn and threaten the Khitans. This mission made Shi Wei feel a strong sense of glory for being a citizen of the Song Dynasty.

Shi Wei liked this job. After receiving the order, he went north from Bianjing to Liao via Xiong Qingye and other imperial guards.

Facts have proved that this mission was not what Shi Wei expected, but a powerful mission to Lingling.

The pain of that journey alone caused Shi Wei to suffer a lot.

The Liao Kingdom imitated the Central Plains and had five capitals, among which the above capitals were the capitals and the remaining four capitals were the accompanying capitals.

However, the political core of the Liao Kingdom was not in the capital, but in Nabo.

The so-called Nabo means the palace.

The Khitans were nomadic peoples and had always been unreliable. Carriages and horses were their families, and the emperor had to patrol and hunt for the four seasons. Therefore, all major decisions were made at any time in Nabo.

Now it is Xia, and the Liao emperor's tent has been transferred to Heishan. This place is located in the northwest of Balin Right Banner, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, thousands of miles away from Bianjing.

Moreover, the Liao Dynasty's economy was not as developed as the Song Dynasty, and it also relied on its own, so the construction of roads and other transportation facilities was even more backward.

After passing through Youzhou area, Shi Wei had to turn to horseback riding and crossed mountains and ridges to enter the grassland. After more than half a month of hard work, he arrived in Heishan.

At dusk, after climbing over a grass hill, Shi Wei finally saw the Liao people's tent.

From a distance, you can see a mountain standing tall with a magnificent atmosphere. A big river rushes to the south, rushing from the mountain.

Under the hillside, flags were waving, and a large grassland was covered with tents everywhere. Thousands of cavalry and infantry surrounded a large open space in the middle. In the center of the open space, a large group of golden tents stood. Obviously, it was where the Liao emperor was.

Judging from this momentum, Shi Wei's heart couldn't help but feel shocked.

"The Liao Kingdom is in a period of rising national strength, and its troops are strong. In the future, the Song Dynasty wants to win easily, but it is probably not easy."

When Shi Wei was moved, he saw several cavalry rushing from the tent group, as if they were coming to greet them.

When he came to get closer, Shi Wei's eyes lit up because he recognized the female knight first, which was Yelu Siyun, the princess of Liao Kingdom.

Shi Wei couldn't help but remember the unexpected kiss that Yelu Siyun left to him when he parted in Bianjing.

Seeing you again now, I feel like yesterday's illusion.

"Sir Shi, we're meeting again, how are you?"

Yelu Siyun, who was riding his horse, smiled and greeted him loudly. His bright smile was as dazzling as the sunset on the grassland.

Shi Wei came back from his trance and bowed and smiled, "It turns out it's Princess Yelu, and the officials are polite."

Princess Yelu smiled and looked particularly happy. She rode her horse over, took the reins of Shi Wei's mount and went down to the grass hill.

"Sir Shi, you are coming from all the way. You must be tired. I will take you to rest."

As she said that, she whipped the horse quickly and speeded up. The horse under her crotch neighed and ran down along the steep trend of the grass slope.

Shi Wei was a little panicked now.

You should know that he has always liked to ride a car, and he was forced to ride a horse, so his riding skills were as tight as he was. He went down the slope so fast that he could not sit still in a moment.

The strong wind passed by his ears. Shi Wei was so nervous that he could only shout: "I said, Princess, can we slow down? The lower-ranking official is a little dizzy."

Shi Wei was in a hurry and said, "Horse fainting" casually.

Yelu Siyun laughed and said contemptuously: "Why are you men in Central Plains so timid and can even dizzy even if you ride a horse? You really laugh to death."

Yelu Siyun just said casually and had no real contempt, but Shi Wei sounded harsh.

As an envoy of the Song Dynasty, his every move represents the prestige of the Song Dynasty. How can he laugh at a Khitan woman now?

Shi Wei shouted, "Who says we Central Plains men are afraid of riding horses!"

As he said that, he grabbed the reins and squeezed the horse's belly with all his might, and he accelerated to pass by Yelu Siyun.

He was trying to compete with this Hu girl.

The moment he passed by Yelu Siyun, Shi Wei turned around and gave her a proud smile.

Yelu Siyun didn't expect that he had such courage and couldn't help but look surprised.

Just as Shi Wei turned around, he was not afraid that the horse under his crotch would step into a grass pit, and with a neigh, he would suddenly fall out.

Shi Wei was unprepared and threw his body forward.

Yelu Siyun was shocked and didn't even think too much. She looked out like a swallow and hugged Shi Wei.

The two fell from mid-air and rolled down the grass slope toward each other.
