Renzong indeed walked towards Pang Ji: "Taoshi, why haven't you entered the palace to see me these days?"

Pang Ji clasped his fists and said, "Go back to the emperor, since the emperor issued an order to ask the minister to hold a birthday party, I have been busy with this matter these two days, and I also asked the emperor to atone for his sins."

Renzong smiled and said, "What is the crime of the Grand Master?"

At this time, Empress Pang suddenly pulled Renzong and whispered something in Renzong's ear, but her eyes looked at Pang Xi who was standing behind Pang Ji. After hearing this, Renzong showed a happy look and indeed looked at Pang Xi: "Oh? Are you Pang Xi?"

Pang Xi immediately knelt down on one knee very quickly: "Little Pang Xi, I have seen the emperor, long live the emperor!"

Renzong nodded slightly: "Get up, I heard that you killed hundreds of Liao generals in the Liao Kingdom alone. Is it true?"

What Song Renzong heard was only the misinformation among the people. In such a verbal legend, not only Pang Xi was deified into a monster-like super expert, but even Chen Yuan was described as a literary talent comparable to Zhuge Kongming and his martial arts skills were comparable to Zhao Yun's civil and military genius.

Pang Xi said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, that's all folk rumors, and you can't take it seriously."

Of course Renzong didn't take it seriously, otherwise he would have summoned Pang Xi long ago. But after hearing Pang Xi say this, he laughed and went up to help Pang Xi up: "Get up."

Pang Xi took the opportunity and tried hard to straighten his body. Renzong nodded in his sight: "Okay, okay! Sure enough, so many people here are heard by the people. Now, you might as well tell me how to explain the matter so that it can also help us resolve the doubts in our hearts."

This matter was kept secret by the Liao Kingdom because it was not a glorious thing for them, so no one knew some specific situations, and the coherence of the intermediate plots was all speculations of the people who passed on the chant.

Pang Xi said hurriedly: "Yes!"

When they arrived at the living room, the ministers sat down on both sides. Renzong sat upright in the middle. Pang Xi stood in the hall and began to tell his story.

Although Pang Xi is not as eloquent as Chen Yuan, Pang Ji has long arranged this story in the most exciting way and forced Pang Xi to memorize it. In addition, he is the person involved, which makes people feel immersive.

When Pang Xi followed Chen Yuan to instigate the fight between the North and South Courts and suddenly turned to find that Yelu Zongyuan was going to kill them, everyone felt their hearts sinking violently.

Speaking of the night when several people swore to live and die together, they must fight with the Liao people until the end, Fan Zhongyan couldn't help but pat on the table and praised this as a righteous act.

At the end, there were even more ups and downs. At the last moment, everyone went from birth to death, and from death to life, which made the entire hall silent.

Until Pang Xi finished speaking, Song Renzong sighed: "Ah! Although it is not as magical as the folk chant, the thrilling danger is also sensational. Just listening to your retelling, it is already like this. If you are in the scene, it is really not easy to persevere. I really want to know what made you choose to live and die together?"

Pang Xi smiled bitterly: "There is no other choice. If we escape one by one, the person who was left behind will definitely die, and those who escape may not be able to leave Liao."

As Pang Ji expected, Song Renzong looked at Pang Xi with appreciation: "Let's do this, you have solved a big problem for me. I want to reward you well. Whatever Mr. Pang wants, just speak!"

Just as Pang Xi was about to speak, Fan Zhongyan suddenly stood up: "Your Majesty, I will report it."

Pang Ji felt nervous. Things were developing according to their plan. He had long known that Fan Zhongyan would not be able to stand still. Now that the old man is fighting back, what method will he use?

Renzong glanced at Fan Zhongyan: "Fan Aiqing, just say something."

Fan Zhongyan immediately said: "Emperor, it was a gentle minister who recommended Song Qi to serve as an envoy to Liao Kingdom. Now it seems that he is using people inappropriately and apologizes to the emperor for his crimes."

Pang Ji was stunned. He thought of all the ways to get rid of Fan Zhongyan, but he did not expect that he would take the blame for the crime.

Old Pang secretly glanced at Lu Yijian and found that Lu Yijian was also quite surprised now. Things were completely beyond their expectations.

They are not Fan Zhongyan, they are villains, and what the villain thinks is how to shirk responsibility. So they considered all retreats for Fan Zhongyan from the perspective of a villain, but they never thought that Fan Zhongyan would not retreat. Fan Zhongyan is a gentleman, and what a gentleman should do is take responsibility bravely.

When Fan Zhongyan really bravely took the responsibility, Pang Ji and Lu Yijian suddenly realized that the set of strategies they had arranged to attack opponents were resolved by Fan Zhongyan's slight move.

They were angry, but they really had nothing to say. They tried every means to defeat Xia Shu and Fan Zhongyan. Now that they have come out on their own, if they say anything at this time, they will leave Renzong the impression of taking advantage of the situation.

Renzong was very generous: "We have already said about Song Qi? Lord Fan doesn't need to say much. If you say that you are inappropriate in juren, wouldn't I be even more inappropriate in vocation?"

Fan Zhongyan still did not rise up: "Long live my remarks. When I was discussing the matter that day, I also thought that the trip to the Song Qi and Liao Kingdom was completely unworkable. However, now Chen Shimei and General Manager Pang and others could do it as merchants. It can be seen that Song Qi either did not do his best or had insufficient ability. I believe that Lord Song must have done his best, so I believe that the emperor should bear full responsibility for his improper juren! "

Xia Shuo followed him out and knelt down: "Long live the old minister. Master Fan said so well. Old minister and Lord Fan asked for punishment together, and also asked for punishment."

Pang Ji was very angry and had a lot of calculations. He only thought about how his opponent would abandon his horse and protect his car, but he did not expect that these corrupt scholars actually used the trick of abandoning his horse and protecting his car. This is the essential difference between a gentleman and a villain.

Fan Zhongyan and Xia Shuo asked for guilt, but they just threw a car on the chessboard. Pang Ji's move that could eat at will wasted and could not be used.

It’s not that Pang Ji and Lu Yijian are not smart, but from their perspective, no one will be stupid enough to be like Fan Zhongyan.

Fan Zhongyan kowtowed to Renzong again: "Emperor, the old minister thinks that Pang Xi and others have done something that is beneficial to our Song Dynasty, so they deserve to be rewarded. And the Grand Master also made an indelible contribution,"

Before he finished speaking, Renzong suddenly waved his hand: "Don't say this, I know what to do. Today is the birthday party of the Grand Tutor. I will not talk about political affairs. As for what Fan Aiqing said, I will discuss it tomorrow morning."

Pang Ji's face shook sharply for a few times. He felt at a loss and stared at Fan Zhongyan. This old man must be demoted by Renzong tomorrow, but he took the blame on his shoulders and rescued all these corrupt scholars!

My wishful thinking was dashed. Although there was no problem in entering North Korea again, if you want to attack these people's forces and restore your previous power, you still need to find another reason.

He was angry, but a smile appeared on his face: "What the emperor said, even Lord Fan, let's talk about this tomorrow. If anyone mentioned it again today, I would like to ask the emperor to punish him to drink all the good wine from me."

Renzong smiled and said, "This is the best, what kind of program can you have to entertain?"

Pang Ji smiled, clasped his hands together and patted them. A group of singing girls outside the door came in, and the wind music began to play. The servants bent over from both sides and flashed in to add wine to everyone.

Fan Zhongyan also quietly retreated aside, and everyone's emotions also became happy in the pleasant wind music and singing and dancing, getting rid of the heavy topic just now.

Only Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu looked a little unstable on their faces. They looked at each other from time to time, as if they were communicating something.

Pang Ji sat next to Renzong and respectfully raised his glass to toast Renzong: "The old minister thanked the emperor for his holy family."

Renzong raised his glass, shook and took a sip with Pang Ji, then pointed to the dancing singer under his finger and said something to Pang Niang Niang.

After drinking a glass, Pang Ji sat down and waited for the maid behind him to pour him wine.

The maid saw the opportunity and hurriedly walked over with a wine pot.

Pang Xi looked at the maid bowing her head forward, and suddenly felt a little unknown in her heart. She had never seen this woman before, and she had a very good face. What made Pang Xi feel most wrong was that she always lowered her head when she walked, as if she was afraid that others would see her clearly.

So he stood up immediately and was about to stop the woman when he suddenly heard a scream outside, followed by the sound of weapons colliding.

"There are assassins!"

The martial artist outside the door shouted loudly, which changed the faces of the officials in the entire hall. This is the Grand Tutor's Mansion, and the emperor is here today. Who is the courageous and dares to choose to assassinate today?

Besides, will they be affected by this sword and war? They were so busy that they stood up from their seats. Standing up can at least make it easier for them to move. If the assassin approaches them, it is easier to avoid them.

Pang Ji looked calm. He did a lot of bad things on weekdays, so he encountered many assassins and had long been used to such emergencies. So when everyone was a little panicked, Pang Ji sat there without moving and said in a deep voice: "Pang Xi, go out and have a look."

Pang Xi saw the maid's hand trembling, as if she was scared by the news that an assassin came in. She immediately stopped doubting and replied with a fist: "Yes."

Renzong admired Pang Ji's current performance very much and smiled slightly: "The Grand Master is really calm. Come on, let's have another drink."

Pang Ji hurriedly stood up and said, "Thank you for your praise from the emperor."

At this time, the waitress came to Pang Ji and poured Pang Ji with trembling hands. Maybe it was because of her nervousness that she even spilled out some.

Pang Ji was not surprised and picked up the wine glass.

At this time, Pang Xi had already left the door. When he looked around, he found that there were indeed two fights in front of him, even fierce. The assassin was masked with a black scarf and dressed in black, and could not see clearly his appearance.

However, in terms of body, it looked like a man and a woman. The man held a double hammer in his hand, dancing so hard that he was full of vigor. Although the martial artists of the Pang Mansion had surrounded him, no one could lean on him.

The woman next to her held a short sword in her hand. Although her martial arts skills were not as good as that of the man, she gradually came here with her flexibility.

Pang Ji looked at the masked woman holding the sword, sighed slightly, and muttered in a low voice: "It's coming again!"

As he said that, he was about to rush over and capture the two of them alive.

As soon as the footsteps moved, a strong wind blew down from the top of his head, carrying the momentum of breaking through the air! Pang Xi was shocked and hurriedly flashed to the side. A steel whip wiped Pang Xi's shoulders and fell down. He took the opportunity to squirt and hit Pang Xi's head again.

Although she was wearing an iron cloth shirt to protect her body, Pang Xi knew that the iron cloth shirt did not have much effect when facing magic weapons or martial arts masters, so she did not dare to be careless at all. She raised her body back and avoided the whip. At the same time, she shook her hands and put the iron ring on her arm.

"What are you doing with your face covering?"

Pang Xi fought with the assassin. After just a few rounds, he suddenly smiled: "Martial arts have improved a lot. If you have the fate to come again next year, you will definitely be able to kill me."
