Chapter 40 Li Bingchang
Generally speaking, the two parties in the court are all fighting each other, and that is what I oppose. However, when Li Qing was expressionless and did not speak, Ouyang Bian quietly looked at Li Bingchang, who was like clay sculptures and wood sculptures on it, and he became calculating in his heart.
It seems that the power of the Later Party has an advantage within the Xixia state, and this advantage is quite large, so even the Imperial Party dare not speak.
This time was not a birthday party, it was just an ordinary reception. The process was to present a gift to the national letter and then chat with each other casually. This was probably the case. On the contrary, Liang Yi's provocation at the beginning was a bit out of place, but it was just a matter of the subject.
After the reception, Ouyang Bian and Su Shi went out by themselves. The guards brought by Ouyang Bian had been waiting outside the palace. As soon as Ouyang Bian came out, he was picked up on a carriage and left.
Someone outside the palace gate stamped his feet and said, "This Ouyang Bian is too cautious, so he doesn't give him any chance to get close!"
Ouyang Bian got on the carriage, quietly observed out of the curtain, and then chuckled softly.
As soon as he came out, he felt someone stalking him, but this stalking may not be really malicious, but Ouyang Bian did not want to cause too much trouble.
He probably has a clear idea of the matter in Xixia. Although he is interested in harmony, he does not want to take risks with himself.
——Just have the help of these things!
Surrounded by the guards, Ouyang Bian returned to the hotel safely, got out of the car and stepped into the hotel.
"Woom!"
There is a dog named Ah Huang in the hotel. It is not harmonious with Ouyang Bian. When he saw Ouyang Bian, he barked and warned him on the first occasion. Ouyang Bian did not know anything like a dog, but he just kicked it a few times, but the stupid dog still remembered his grudges, so he called Ouyang Bian again.
Ouyang Bian frowned and resisted the urge to kill the stupid dog. He ate dog meat hot pot tonight and entered the hotel study room, intending to take a good rest.
——This kind of social event is quite tiring.
As soon as Ouyang Bian entered the study, he heard Ah Huang screaming outside, and then someone shouted for alert. There was a sound of horse hooves outside, and someone quickly guarded the door.
Ouyang Bian asked through the door: "What's going on?"
The guard said: "Someone shot an arrow into the yard. There was a letter on the arrow. Someone might have sent it. However, the dog was so lucky that he was shot to death in one go."
Ouyang Bian: “…”
Luck is pretty bad.
"Oh, I'm not lucky. I peeled Ah Huang and removed her bones. Let's have a delicious meal tonight. It's a complete meeting."
Ouyang Bian was quite regretful and swallowed the tears at the corner of his mouth.
Guard: "...it's...Shi Shin has been tested and there is no poison. Do you want to see it?"
"Take it."
Ouyang Bian opened the door and the guard brought the letter in. Ouyang Bian looked out and saw that Ah Huang had been dragged down. Fireworks had already risen in the kitchen. After a while, skin and bones were peeled off.
Ouyang Bian sighed and opened the letter.
"Your Excellency Ouyang, I will tell you about the important matters. If you are interested in knowing, please go to Chengtian Temple tonight."
The letter is very short and not even named. I guess it is a trick that is not well-known.
Ouyang Bian sneered and handed it to the guard: "It's burned."
The guard nodded: "Shishuosi, will you go tonight? If you want to go, I will arrange security."
Ouyang Bian sneered: "I don't dare to appear openly. Who can you be? It's better not to see me."
Ouyang Bian has rich experience. He either came to assassinate himself or asked for help from such things. In fact, there is nothing good to see, and it will only add trouble to himself.
Moreover, there is obviously a better way to meet, but if you choose this most dangerous method, this person may have something wrong.
Ouyang Bian looked at the invitations piled on the desk, which were all invitations from many nobles. Ouyang Bian, the new Yongxing Army Road Strategic Envoy, was different from the previous Strategic Envoy. The previous Strategic Envoy was to fight, and this Strategic Envoy might be to give money.
Everyone knows that Qingzhou Industrial Park and Lingzhou Free Trade Zone are all done by this master, and the princes and ministers of Xixia all know that Ouyang Bian may be the richest person in the world.
Now, it controls the domestic animal husbandry and medicine enterprises in Xixia, and is all Ouyang Bian's industries.
The one who bought livestock was Shenggan fresh food, the one who bought fur was Henry leather, and the one who bought medicinal materials was Yunkui Pharmaceutical. This is not the most terrifying, the one who terrifying is the Modern Animal Husbandry Group. This group has now swept through many pastures in Xixia, and there are the modern Animal Husbandry Group behind many pastures.
These nobles are all clear-eyed people, so how can they not be clear?
So they invited Ouyang Bian to the banquet, just to see if they could get some benefits from Ouyang Bian.
...
somewhere.
"Have you met Ouyang Bian?"
"I saw it, but he was very vigilant and could not get close to it at all. There were many people at the gate of the palace. I was afraid that someone would pay attention, so I dare not get close to it."
"Well, then I'll send him a letter?"
"I've given it. The hotel has a tight defense and I can't get close to it. I can only shoot it in with a bow and arrow."
"Idiot, aren't you afraid of cumming?"
"No, it's not that coincidental. You have also fought. It's not that easy to shoot someone. If you can be shot like this, you're not going to be a pity."
"...Okay, then why are you so embarrassed?"
"Well... I'm just sending a letter. For some reason, a large group of people in the hotel went out to search for it. I was so scared that I had to jump into the ditches to hide. Although it was a bit embarrassing, I was fortunately not caught."
"...If this happens, do you think he will come?"
“…it should be.”
"...It's your fault, they're all going to chase you. Do you think Ouyang Bian would be so stupid to attend the meeting?"
"Maybe you can give it a try?"
"Try you, your majesty, you will die if you ask."
...
"Okay, what should I do now?"
"What else can I do? A formal invitation, fool!"
...
The next day, someone came to invite him. This time, the eunuch from the palace arrived, and it was an invitation from Li Bingchang.
No matter how unsatisfied Li Bingchang was, he was still the monarch of Xixia in public, and Ouyang Bian could not refuse.
The second time I met Li Bingchang, Li Bingchang became much more vivid, unlike the clay sculptures that were like yesterday.
"The foreign minister Ouyang Bian has met His Majesty."
Ouyang Bian saluted with his hands crossed.
Li Bingchang quickly stood up, looking up to him: "The Grand Secretary is polite. I have been celebrating the Grand Secretary for a long time. Today I finally got what I want. Compared with the rumors, the Grand Secretary has a better style. He looks like a great man. He really thought that the Grand Secretary is weak. I didn't expect that he is so Angzang. This is the real scholar!"
