Traveling through time and space to become a child, supporting the family by catching fish and shrim

The General's Mansion.

Xiao Huaiyi was drinking, and he was drunk by his beauty.

This wine has become a favorite of the royal family and nobles of the Liao Dynasty. If any royal family member does not have a few kilograms of it in stock, they will be laughed at if they tell others about it.

This is also the reason why Yelu Xiu'ge was so concerned about the Hongyanzui business, and it was also the reason why Yelu Xiu'ge was extremely angry after the Hongyanzui business was assigned to his younger brother Xiao Qi by Empress Dowager Xiao.

The Liao people were addicted to alcohol, and the profits from intoxicating beautiful women were really too great.

Xiao Huaiyi rarely used his privileges to seek benefits for himself, but after drinking Hongyanzui, he rarely used his power and got himself ten kilograms of Hongyanzui to keep at home.

He usually doesn't like to drink, but tonight is an exception. He has already drunk almost two kilograms of the strongest ten kilograms of Hongyanzui.

Seeing this, Xiao Huaiyi's wife said worriedly, "My dear, I heard that this wine is very strong and drinking too much will harm your health."

Xiao Huaiyi put down his wine glass and said, "Madam is right. I won't drink anymore. Take it away."

The lady ordered someone to take away the wine jug and whispered, "My husband, the Fourth Prince is marrying the Princess of the Southern Dynasty. What gift should we prepare?"

Xiao Huaiyi said calmly: "We probably don't have time to attend the wedding banquet, so naturally there is no need to prepare gifts."

"If you're going to prepare, it's the luggage that's going to leave."

The lady was startled and said, "Husband, we are going to..."

Just as Xiao Huaiyi was about to speak, a burly young man came walking towards him quickly.

The lady recognized the other person's identity as Xiao Huaiyi's personal guard, but it was the second watch at night, so even if he was a personal guard, he could not enter without permission.

Thinking about what my husband just said, a strong sense of foreboding came over me.

"Husband, you didn't really do that, did you?"

Xiao Huaiyi's eyebrows were furrowed, and he said indifferently: "Dad told me before he died that I must rescue my uncle."

"He's in Dayan, there's nothing I can do."

"But now that he's back in Shangjing and still alive, I naturally have to save him."

"Brother Yelu Xiu wants to trade my uncle's life with me. He's dreaming!"

The lady sighed softly, said no more, and quietly retreated back to the main house.

"General, there are many more spies from the Feihu Division outside the palace."

The personal guard knelt on one knee and said with a bow.

This personal guard was picked up from the battlefield by Xiao Huaiyi when he was suppressing the Jurchens. At that time, he was just a child in his early teens, but he dared to fight the Jurchens with weapons.

Xiao Huaiyi admired his bravery, so he kept him by his side to train him, and also gave him his own surname, Zhan.

"Let's wait and see." Xiao Huaiyi said indifferently, without any emotion in his eyes.

Xiao Zhan took the order and left.

Another hour passed like this, and Xiao Zhan returned to the lobby again, but this time he was not alone, he was carrying someone on his back.

When Xiao Huaiyi saw this person, he stood up suddenly.

"uncle!"

"What about the rest?"

Xiao Zhan carefully placed Yelu Zongwang on the chair and said, "General, this was sent by someone claiming to be a special envoy from the Southern Dynasty."

"He said our people...were all killed by Yelu Xiu Ge."

Xiao Huaiyi quickly walked up to Yelu Zongwang, shook his hand, and said, "Uncle, how do you feel?"

Yelu Zongwang smiled, and the wrinkles on his old face blossomed like chrysanthemums. He said, "Xiaoyi, it's great to see you."

"The one outside is called Chen Lang. You have to send him back to the Honglu Temple, but you can't let the people from the Feihu Division find him."

Xiao Huaiyi ordered Xiao Zhan to send Yelu Zongwang to the side room in the backyard to rest, while he went to the front yard to meet Chen Lang.

Chen Lang slumped on the ground, his face pale and blood oozing from the corners of his mouth, looking extremely embarrassed.

Xiao Huaiyi stepped forward quickly, took out a small porcelain bottle from his waist, poured out a pill and handed it to Chen Lang: "This is a pill specially made by the military doctor. It is very effective in treating internal injuries."

Chen Lang picked it up and put it in his mouth.

Xiao Huaiyi raised his eyebrows: "Aren't you afraid that what I give you is poison?"

Chen Lang smiled and said, "A great general of the Liao Kingdom wouldn't resort to such despicable means to murder his benefactor."

Xiao Huaiyi sneered and said, "You saved my uncle, I thank you."

"I will also fulfill my promise and send you back to the Honglu Temple."

"Then we'll be even and owe each other nothing."

"There is no such thing as a benefactor or an unbenefactor."

Chen Lang shrugged and said self-deprecatingly, "It seems my idea of demanding repayment for a favor won't work."

Xiao Huaiyi said, "You are from Yan, and I am from Liao. Our two families are enemies for generations, so how can there be any gratitude?"

Chen Lang gave a thumbs up: "That makes sense!"

"Then please trouble General Xiao to send me back."

"I'm very tired and want to sleep."

At this time, Xiao Zhan also came out, and Xiao Huaiyi gave him the task.

After seeing Chen Lang off, Xiao Huaiyi quickly came to the side room again. He had a lot of questions to ask Yelu Zongwang.

But Yelu Zongwang had suffered a lot in Feihu Division, and the escape along the way had consumed his remaining energy. Now that he was in a safe place, he just wanted to sleep.

After Xiao Huaiyi asked a few questions, Yelu Zongwang started snoring.

"A scholar killed four Flying Fox spies?" Xiao Huaiyi rubbed his brow and said, "Uncle, are you getting senile or did I mishear?"

……

"A bunch of trash!"

Upon learning that Yelu Zongwang had been kidnapped, Yelu Xiuge became unusually furious and whipped his subordinate who was kneeling in front of him with a horsewhip.

All of these subordinates were beaten to pieces, but no one dared to make a sound.

"After all this effort and planning, Yelu Zongwang actually escaped?"

"Every day they brag to me about how great they are."

"Is this your achievement? Yelu Zongwang, a living person, was kidnapped just like that!"

"How are you going to explain this to me?"

Before he finished speaking, Aliqi came over quickly and said, "Sir, I have found something."

Yelu Xiuge roared, "Speak!"

"I have examined the bodies of those people and found that the deaths of three of them were very strange."

"There was a lot of venom residue on their faces, which means they were sprayed with venom before they died."

Yelu Xiuge's face slowly darkened and he said, "How is this possible?"

Aliqi said: "Sir, there is a possibility."

"what?"

"Chen Lang, the envoy sent by the Southern Dynasty, showed something when he first entered the palace. He called it a spray and said it was used to replenish water."

"And Xiao Qi's son, Xiao Lei, was once sprayed with this thing, causing him to go into horny heat in the street, and then had his leg broken by Yin Ping."

"As long as Chen Lang replaces the aphrodisiac in the bottle with poison, he can kill people without anyone noticing."

Yelu Xiuge's face turned pale and he said, "Call the people who are monitoring the Honglu Temple to me."
