Chapter 258 Xu Shan asks for orders

When he saw the face of the woman taking a bath, Zhao Yan immediately felt like a basin of cold water was poured from head to toe, because he didn't expect that the woman taking a bath opposite was the wife of Jilibo. Compared with other Jurchen women, this lazy behavior was very consistent with the aesthetic view of the Han people, but Zhao Yan did not want to be a boot brother with Su Shi.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yan immediately quietly retreated to avoid being discovered by laziness and causing misunderstandings. However, Zhao Yan also knew that, with the customs of the Jurchens, if they were laziness and discovered by laziness, they might take the initiative to go forward and have a romantic relationship with him. However, just as Zhao Yan took a few steps back, the laziness suddenly saw the laziness holding water in both hands and flowing down from his head, and at the same time, half-sided, making the two balls on his chest look taller and more straight, almost making Zhao Yan bleed on his mouth and nose.

However, in the end, Zhao Yan resisted the temptation and turned her head and left here step by step. After returning to the place where she was bathing, she secretly looked at Yelu Si and found that she was still washing clothes quietly. This made Zhao Yan suddenly feel guilty, as if she had an attempt to have an affair with her wife on her back.

"She is not my wife, how could she feel this strange feeling?" Zhao Yan said to herself with some self-deprecating self-deprecating, then shook her head and started taking a shower. Speaking of which, since she left the palace in a hot air balloon, she only washed it while fishing last time. In addition, the weather was hot, so it would be strange if there was no smell on her body.

After Zhao Yan finished washing, Yelu Sina had not washed it yet. The main reason was that the cloth cut from the hot air balloon was too big and it was very difficult to wash. When Zhao Yan put on her clothes and came to Yelu Si's back, she happened to see her tucking her skirt on her belt, rolling up her trouser legs and revealing a pair of white calves standing in the stream, washing the cloth very hard.

Maybe it was because he saw the lazy bathing look too tempting, which made Zhao Yan unable to help glance at the other person's chest and buttocks when he saw Yelu Si. The woman has always been extremely sensitive to other people's gazes. Before Zhao Yan could have any evil thoughts, Yelu Si suddenly stood up straight and turned his head to look. When he found out that it was Zhao Yan, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Why are you so slow? Am I waiting for you to help me wash clothes?"

"Cough~. My body was a little dirty, so it took some time!" Zhao Yan said with some guilt, and at the same time, the evil thought that had just appeared in his heart immediately shrank back in fear. Even when he thought of Cao Ying and Xue Ning at home, he even cursed himself as a beast in his heart!

After Zhao Yan finished speaking, he immediately stepped forward to help. The two quickly washed the cloth and returned to their residence together. It was almost noon. The boy was preparing lunch. Originally, the people from Wanyan tribe only had two meals a day, but Zhao Yan and the others were very uncomfortable, so they had to cook one meal every day at noon. Anyway, Zhou Tong and the others caught a lot of prey, so they didn't have to worry about not having food at all.

However, what Zhao Yan didn't expect was that just as the bones had just finished lunch, the sacred man brought his wife to the tent where they lived. This made Zhao Yan feel guilty and a little strange, because the sacred man usually goes out to hunt early and will not come back until the evening. Why did he come back so early today?

"Prince, tomorrow is the day when our tribe goes out for trading. Do you think you should send someone out with us?" I saw Xi Libo bowing to Zhao Yan with a smile. Although he was asking for Zhao Yan's opinions, he actually wanted to express another meaning.

"Haha, naturally, Zhou Tong and the others caught a lot of prey, and some of the furs were worth a few dollars, so they could be used for some daily necessities." Zhao Yan immediately agreed when he heard this. He naturally knew that Xi Libo wanted to send someone out and then contact his own people with the Song Dynasty. On the one hand, he could confirm his identity with Xi Libo, and on the other hand, he could also pass on the news of his Wanyan tribe to the Song Dynasty to facilitate the next contact.

"Haha, this is the best. Speaking of which, the situation of our Wanyan tribe is too bad, but it has caused the prince to be wronged. If we can form an alliance in the future, my Wanyan tribe will definitely not forget the prince's kindness!" Seeing Zhao Yan, Xiaolibo immediately understood what he meant, and he was also very happy at the moment. In fact, since Zhou Tong and the other two found Zhao Yan, he no longer doubted Zhao Yan's identity. However, other people in the tribe were still stubbornly asking for evidence, so he wanted Zhao Yan to send someone to contact people from the Song Dynasty.

Next, Zhao Yan asked about the details of Wanyan's outing transactions. Xiaolibo did not hide it. According to his account, Wanyan's outing only once every three months, loading the fur and other goods harvested from the tribe onto the car, and then transporting them to a market specially set up for the Jurchens in Huanglong Mansion for transactions.

It is worth mentioning that Wanyan's tribe holds a mountain road called Haidong Qingying Road, referred to as Yinglu. This road is not the forest that Zhao Yan and the others walked before, but a real road. Although the road conditions are very poor, it can be barely opened to traffic. It is just that this road is much farther to Huanglong Mansion. Before, the saint-libo and others took a shortcut to get to Huanglong Mansion as soon as possible, so they happened to meet Zhao Yan and the others. Usually, Wanyan's tribe communicated with the outside world through Yinglu.

In addition, other Jurchen tribes also need to go to Huanglong Mansion to trade through Eagle Road, but every time they pass by Eagle Road, they have to pay part of the goods to Wanyan tribe, which is equivalent to taxes. In Zhao Yan's opinion, the conditions of the Wanyan tribe are quite difficult, but for other Jurchen tribes, the Wanyan tribe is already considered a very wealthy tribe.

Every transaction in Wanyan's department is a major event in the tribe, and the leader is usually led by the team himself. In addition to the transaction, the most important thing is to confirm Zhao Yan's identity and secretly contact the people who were looking for Zhao Yan in the Song Dynasty. Therefore, Iowa naturally did not dare to neglect. Not only did he lead the team himself, but he also brought several other brothers, leaving only the Dabanya impeacher to protect the camp, and also monitored Zhao Yan and the others not to escape.

By the afternoon, Zhou Tong, Su Shi and others who were hunting were finally back. Today they had a good harvest. They actually hit a wild boar, an adult stag, and a few rabbits. This made the bone very happy. They trot over to help Zhou Tong and the others get prey, then fetch water to start peeling and cleaning. After washing, they should be cut into pieces and thrown into a large pot to cook, otherwise it will soon break in this weather.

The cooking was handed over to the two women Gutou and Yelu Si. Zhao Yan called Su Shi and Zhou Tong to the tent, and then told the story of the Siolibo going out for a deal tomorrow. Finally, he said: "Now we need to send someone to Huanglong Mansion with Wanyan's tribe, and then contact the people looking for us there. Who do you think is more appropriate to send?"

"Let me go, the princess of Xialibo will definitely not let the prince leave Wanyan's tribe. The identity of the princess of Zheng State cannot be revealed, and he is also a woman. In this way, only I, the deputy envoy, will attract the attention of those of us more easily!" As soon as Zhao Yan finished speaking, Su Shi immediately stood up and said.

Zhao Yan also agreed with Su Shi's initiative to ask for his appointment, but at this time, the guard Xu Shan, who had been silent, stood up and said, "Prince, I think it's better for me to go!"

"Oh, why?" Zhao Yan said in surprise. Xu Shan was the person around Huang Wude before. In terms of force, he was the lowest among Zhou Tong and the other two. He looked very ordinary. In addition, he didn't like to talk, so even Zhao Yan often ignored this person, but he didn't expect that the other party would speak at this time.

"Your hot air balloon was blown to the east of Huanglong Mansion by the wind, but King Ying and Duke Huang did not know, so we are not sure that there would be people they sent to find in Huanglong Mansion. In addition, the situation in Liao Kingdom is now turbulent, and I am afraid that there will be no number of people to find us. As for Huang Gong, the manpower that Duke can use in Liao Kingdom is extremely limited, so even if Deputy Envoy Su went to Huanglong Mansion, he might not be able to meet those who were looking for us."

When he said this, Xu Shan paused for a moment and then said: "In addition, although the disappearance of the prince is a big deal, for the sake of the safety of the prince, I guess that King Ying and Mr. Huang may block the news of the Liao Kingdom and then send people to search for it secretly. After all, if the identity of the prince is leaked, it may bring danger to the prince. Therefore, the Liao officials in Huanglong Mansion may not know about the disappearance of the prince..."

Before Xu Shan finished speaking, Zhao Yan understood what he meant. He nodded and praised: "I understand that you are the person around Lao Huang, and you are very familiar with the situation in Liao Kingdom. I believe that there should be your people in Huanglong Mansion. If you send you there, even if you can't meet someone looking for us, you can pass on my message to Lao Huang through your people."

"The prince Yingming, this is exactly what his subordinates mean!" Xu Shan bowed to Zhao Yan again, and then added, "In addition, the prince's affairs in Wanyan's tribe should not be known to too many people, and only our people can keep them as confidential as possible."

Although Su Shi has not been an official for a long time, he has also contacted many people from the Imperial City Division when he was in the military weapon supervision. Naturally, he knew what kind of organization the Imperial City Division was. Now that he heard that Xu Shan was actually from the Imperial City Division, he was surprised and nodded in agreement and said, "Prince, Xu Shan makes sense, he is indeed more suitable than me."

"Okay, then I'll ask Xu Shan for a trip. When I see Lao Huang in the future, I will personally ask you for me!" Zhao Yan finally made a decision at this time, and did not forget to give Xu Shan a promise, which also made the other party look happy.

The next morning, Xialibo left Wanyan's tribe with the team he had prepared yesterday, and Xu Shan also took the prey he had caught in the past few days with him. However, what Zhao Yan and Xu Shan didn't know was that the lucky pussus was also rushing from Shangjing to Huanglong Mansion. (To be continued...)
