After leaving the banquet hall, only his own tribe members, Xifeng Chang couldn't help but look at the monk beside him with a strange look: "Master, why didn't you say a word at today's banquet? You have helped save Sun Qianli several times. If you come forward to talk about the title, he might give in..."

Jie Sang Waxe paused slightly, and then said, "The little monk asked himself that he didn't have such a big face. He only saw that Taiwei Sun was no longer the one he was in Xingqing Mansion. He was in a high position and held the power, how could he make concessions on major affairs of the two countries for some of the small favors he had at the time? So even if the little monk spoke, it would be futile. What's more,..." He said another paused.

"What else did the national teacher see?"

"The Taiwei Sun still had a strong murderous intent. This was the terrifying aura that the little monk had never felt in anyone. It seemed that he would soon start a murder, and countless people would die." When he said this, the voice of the Xixia national master trembled a little.

But Xifeng Chang disagreed with these nagging statements and still only cared about the current dilemma: "But the three requests he made were more difficult than the other, but how did we report them to the court? I am afraid that the emperor would not agree to these three unreasonable requests... What should we do?"

Until he returned to the embassy not far away, Li Chengmo, a Xixia official who had been following them, whispered: "Don't worry too much. The matter has not reached an irreversible situation. After all, today's request was not proposed by the Song court, but was just a casual statement by an official at the banquet."

"Is there any difference?" Xi Feng Chang scratched his head in annoyed. Although he has now become Lu Ze, the leader of a clan, who has a certain status in the Western Xia Kingdom, and is in charge of tens of thousands of clans, he has not had enough experience after all.

However, Li Chengmo, the deputy envoy who has been in the court and has studied the Song Kingdom for a long time, was more calm and immediately said: "Although Sun Tu is now in power in the Song Kingdom, it does not mean that everything is up to him. Especially for such a major event between the two countries, it cannot be decided by a general casually. The involvement in this is too great.

"I can actually understand why he is so aggressive and has little room for us because he wants to promote this war between the two countries. He is a general, and only on the battlefield and constant war can his power continue to expand, even if it will cause countless casualties. This is why the national master just saw the murderous aura revealed by him."

As soon as this was said, Jianmang Waxe also agreed and nodded slightly. While Xifeng Chang seemed to be even more nervous: "According to what you said, wouldn't it be even more difficult for us to accomplish anything? He has already made up his mind to go to war with my country of Xia."

"But he was not up to him to decide the Song court after all. There are many officials and their emperors are also on it. I believe that these people definitely do not want to fight again, and let Sun Tu make greater contributions and seize greater power." Li Chengmo smiled and said, "These people are the help we can fight for to change the current situation."

After thinking about it carefully, Xifeng Chang finally moved: "So, I found the wrong person at the beginning? But how should we contact those officials of the Song State?"

"I'll come forward to this. But Lu Ze needs to hand over the jewelry, gold and silver granted by the court." What Li Chengmo could think of was to use money to open the way and buy a group of officials from the Song Dynasty through bribes.

Of course, Xifeng Chang could not object to this matter, so he nodded immediately: "As long as you can get this matter done, the gold, silver and jewelry that came with us can be used by you. I only need a good result!"

"Of course, Lu Ze, just wait for good news." Li Chengmo promised immediately.

So in the next few days, the deputy envoy of Xixia started working everywhere in Tokyo, always looking for various reasons to visit some famous officials in the city and are in important positions.

He visited the door in the name of the envoy of Xixia Kingdom, which made the officials unable to find out the reason for keeping him out, and could only meet him. Then, after his earnest conversation, especially after giving him an extremely generous gift, the officials who had not lived too well recently were all moved and responded to the request that they would help them in the court, mediate, make good efforts to make the two countries friendly and open border cities early.

At the beginning, the officials Li Chengmo contacted were only middle and low-level officials in the court, such as doctors and other minor officials of the fifth rank. But with his continuous efforts and gold and silver, he could even meet the six high-ranking officials at the level of the Secretariat in the six ministries. If Tong Mu and Li Gang were not too high, and they had their own concerns and refused to meet the Gentile envoys, I was afraid that he would have influenced the most important two people in the court center in a short period of time.

When Tong Mu told Sun Tu about this situation, the latter was a little surprised, and then laughed and shook his head: "I really can't see that these Xixia people have learned the kind of vertical and horizontal techniques that only we Han people have. However, these methods of relying on bribery were inferior in the end, and most of the people he was looking for were small and medium-sized officials in the court, so it would be difficult for them to do what they wanted."

When Tong Mu saw that he didn't care too much, he showed a serious look: "Don't underestimate the actions of the Xixia people too much. Things between the two countries cannot be changed because of his actions, but the situation in Beijing is hard to say.

"Aren't you always guarding against the evil intentions of some people? If they collude with the Xixia people and use this as a cover-up and make some preparations, they will be caught off guard."

"Huh?" This sentence hit Sun Tu's concerns, and immediately made his expression solemn: "It's really necessary to be careful about this. Time has passed a long time, and I guess those people are about to be unable to hold back and take a desperate action? If it is true as you said, I'm afraid they may really take advantage of the Xixia envoy to attack me."

“So what are you going to deal with it?”

"The soldiers come and the generals block the water and the soil. The Tokyo City cannot help but be rude! What's more, I have already made corresponding arrangements. They can survive if they don't move. If they really move, it will be a dead end, and no one will be an exception!" Sun Tu's eyes flashed with murderous intent. This time, he would no longer be able to show mercy and leave troubles again!

The Prime Minister Li Gang, who also had not seen the envoy of the Western Xia, was also paying attention to their every move, was talking to a confidant at this moment: "This should be our best, and perhaps the last chance. I have heard that as the government army suddenly attacked the south of the Yangtze River, all the scholars dared not cause trouble, and they would be even more unreliable. In this way, the troops who had previously been transferred out of the capital will come back soon, and then our chances will only be smaller."

"So Li Xiang planned to take the arrival of the Xia envoy to kill Sun Tu off guard?"

"That's right, today is the ninth day of the 15th, and the ministers meet the emperor, so that the envoys of Xia Kingdom will meet the emperor on that day. By then, the garrisons in the capital will inevitably be placed near the palace and around the Xixia Embassy, ​​so that our people can take the opportunity to seize those important places, such as arsenals, firearms, military camps, etc...."

After pausing for a moment, Li Gang said murderously again: "Also, you can find a way to let Xifeng Chang convince Sun Tu, and he will accompany the Western Xia envoy into the palace. In this way, there will be a chance to assassinate Sun Tu in the imperial city. As long as he dies, his troops will inevitably be without a leader and become a mess. At that time, it will be easier for us to come forward to clean up the mess. After all, Song Jiang is also one of their commanders, and his appearance is enough to shock the crowd."

"What Li Xiang said was very true, and the subordinate officials had only two concerns. First, what should this matter affect the envoys of the Western Xia, or would make them feel that there was a change in the Song Dynasty and that they would have a chance to counterattack? Second, if Song Jiang replaced it, what should we do if we were to do that? "

"If the envoys of Xixia die, at most the court will come forward to appease us. As for the reason they will be unfavorable to us, there is no need to worry. The current Xixia is different from ten years ago. They do not have the ability, nor the courage to go to war with our Song Dynasty. At most, they just agree to their requests. Compared with the stability of our Song Dynasty, this is a small matter. As for the fact that Song Jiang is worried about being a big shot, he is even more worried. He is just a small official, and he is more miserable than Sun Tu. Even if he is given a position as a Grand Marshal? After the matter is completed, he can be eliminated within a few years. What's more, I still have the biggest trick, and I might be able to solve him at that time!"

The person in front of him was slightly surprised. As Li Gang's confidant, he didn't know that he had a backup plan. This was the first time he heard about this. But soon, he calmed down again: "The official understands that we will succeed this time and kill the traitors!"

Next, with Sun Tu's intentional indulgence and the special promotion of Li Gang and others, the matter of the Western Xia envoy really went very smoothly. They quickly decided to meet with the emperor on the 15th of this month to discuss major events between the two countries. Then, when Xi Fengchang asked Sun Tu to accompany him to enter the palace as a friend, Sun Tu did not refuse at all and agreed on the spot.

Everything has gradually developed in the way and direction that Li Gang and the others imagined. As time comes to the 14th, tomorrow will make everything clear.

In the evening, on the eve of the storm, today's Tokyo City seems particularly quiet, with a population of one million, and only a very small number of people know what will happen tomorrow...
