Chapter 76: A phoenix with hair fallen is not as good as a chicken

It was my first time as a spy. Even though I was unwilling to give up and a little scared, I still felt a little stimulating.

After thinking about it for a while, Chen Yuan made up his mind and waited until Yanjing to see the situation before talking. If the stimulus is unacceptable, he would just find a way to leave.

It was now true that Lu Yijian was answered.

Lu Yijian took out another jade pendant.

On the surface, this jade pendant is no different from the jade pendant worn by ordinary people on their necks. Only those works of the Song Dynasty that penetrated deep into the Liao Kingdom can see the difference.

Lu Yijian handed the jade pendant to Chen Yuan: "Please keep this. Any detailed work of my Song Dynasty in the Liao Kingdom will be like me coming in person when I see this jade pendant."

Chen Yuan took the jade pendant and looked at it. He knew that Lu Yijian had been in charge of working in the foreign country for seven or eight years. He thought to himself, did he win this one and make a detailed gold medal in the Song Dynasty? Although he didn't want to be an official, it seemed to be a very satisfying thing to play the Song Dynasty's Linglingqi temporarily.

Just as he was about to ask, Lu Yijian continued, "But, I no longer preside over their affairs. Xia Shu must have given a new contact information. This jade pendant may not be able to help you."

He almost threw Chen Yuanlei down with a word. He looked up at Lu Yijian. After a long time of trouble, the old man was fooling himself with an outdated thing.

But it was a piece of jade at least. Even if it was useless, it could be used as a two-month silver when you got the pawnshop. Chen Yuan reached out and put the jade pendant in his arms: "Don't worry, Prime Minister, I will do my best."

Lu Yijian and Pang Ji were both satisfied, and the two of them expressed their agreed plans: "This time, you will contact the Liao people as a merchant. Don't worry, we have arranged everything. Because Wen Yanbo's border trade investigation was very tight, the Liao people's salt has been very nervous for a while. I think if you are a salt seller, you will definitely be able to eat it."

Pang Ji, who was standing beside him, said: "Your identity is the number one master under Fu Xiaotian. After going to Liao Kingdom, Pang Xi will take you to see Xiao Suli. He is the younger brother of Xiao Talis, the queen of the Liao Gang. Pang Xi will take you to find him, and he will not doubt it."

Chen Yuan nodded: "Yes, the villain knows. But who is Fu Xiaotian?"

Pang Ji smiled: "A salt smuggling."

Chen Yuan was a little worried: "Prime Minister, Grand Tutor, since Fu Xiaotian is a salt smuggling person, he will definitely go to Liao Kingdom often. If he meets each other, isn't this a mistake?"

Pang Xi, who was standing on the side, said, "Don't worry, just say it's his master. If I accompany you, no one will doubt you. As for him, no one will see him again."

Chen Yuan heard the meaning of this, and he also knew that if he refused now, no one might see him again in the future.

Immediately said, "Okay, then I'll prepare a few hundred bags of salt tomorrow. Don't worry, Prime Minister, I will set off as soon as possible."

Pang Ji sneered: "Hundreds of bags of salt? Don't be petty. If you want them to look down on you, you will need at least a few hundred cars to fill the face of Master Fu Xiaotian."

Lu Yijian put down the teacup: "You don't need to worry about the salt problem. We have prepared everything for you. When you finish your wedding of the new top scorer, you'll set off right away."

Chen Yuan nodded: "Yes, the villain knows, but there is one thing that the villain wants to trouble the Prime Minister."

Lu Yijian asked, "What's the matter?"

Chen Yuan looked at Pang Ji: "The third one of the three heroes in Mobei who worked in the Grand Tutor's Mansion a few days ago is now locked up in Kaifeng Mansion. The villain hopes that the prime minister will help and ask the villain to pick him up, and there are many helpers on the way."

When attending Yan Chafan's wedding, Chen Yuan was already like a pretty pompous boss. Although the people who came were all dignitaries, the carriages pulled by his two horses would not look too chill. The person who drove the carriage was Han Qi. The carriage stopped in front of Liu Hong's house. Han Qi immediately jumped off the shaft and lifted the curtain.

Amuda, who was following along the side, jumped off the horse and stood around the carriage to see the situation around him. His expression was similar to that of the bodyguards of noble officials.

There are pergolas on both sides of the gate to welcome guests, and there are servants in each shed who are busy registering guests who come to congratulate.

"The new top student and old friend, Chen Shimei, the shopkeeper Chen, wishes the newcomer a happy marriage for a hundred years!"

It was indeed a bit generous to take out a hundred taels of silver. But Chen Yuan could now take out the money, especially after accepting the task of going to Liao Kingdom, Lu Yijian and Pang Ji repeatedly told him to support the scene of a businessman no matter where he was.

Liu Hong's house is a standard Song Dynasty folk building with a low wall outside. After passing the living room, there is a high wall to divide the entire house into two floors.

The inner building forms are more diverse than the outer layer and have a compact layout. Each group of buildings forms its own courtyard, surrounded by courtyard walls, which are used for family living.

The outer layer is much simpler, mainly spacious, and is mainly used to receive guests.

The wedding home was obviously set up in the living room on the outer floor. When Chen Yuan walked into the gate of Liu Hong's house, a servant hurriedly came up. After some politeness, he led Chen Yuan into the table and sat down.

Grand Master Pang also came. He had no friendship with Yan Chasan and did not want to sit with these righteous people. The reason why he came to attend the wedding was because the emperor sent him as the plenipotentiary representative to send a gift to Yan Chasan.

Although he could not participate in the government affairs, Renzong was still qualified to assign him to attend a wedding banquet.

The fallen phoenix is ​​not as good as a chicken. This sentence is now fully reflected in Pang Ji's body. The situation of being surrounded by people on weekdays is completely gone. Even those who flattery just say hello politely, and then sit next to Fan Zhongyan and Ouyang Xiu, who are now in full bloom.

After Chen Yuan came in, he first greeted Ouyang Xiu. Ouyang Xiu did not neglect him and stood up and returned a bow.

Then Chen Yuan came to Pang Ji and bowed properly: "The villain gave a greeting to the Grand Master."

Pang Ji smiled slightly, and pointed to a seat next to him: "There is an empty seat here, sit here."

Chen Yuan was not polite and sat down slowly: "Taoshi, there are many adults here that I am not familiar with. If you say something wrong tonight, please ask Taishi to correct me."

Pang Ji looked at the adults sitting next to Fan Zhongyan and others in a despicable manner, and raised his voice slightly: "Shimei, do you know that the position around me has always been the first-rank officials who rushed to sit?"

Chen Yuan didn't say anything. Pang Ji looked at the man dressed in a military general opposite and said bluntly: "Did you see that majestic general? He was my husband's disciple. If he hadn't, he would still be looking at the armory. Ren Fu, aren't he going to have a drink with me today?"

Ren Fu's face turned blue and white, and in the end there was no other way, so he picked up the teacup and walked towards Pang Ji: "The kindness of the Grand Master's support is unforgettable. This banquet has not come. I will first give the Grand Master a bowl of water, and it is hard to express my gratitude."

Pang Ji snorted coldly: "No need, I haven't drunk tea."
