Yelu Dashi sneered, and it was unclear whether he was mocking himself or the person in front of him.

At this point, Hu Hongxiu turned to Yelu Dashi and bowed calmly again: "Dashi Lin Ya... my government wants to use the river as the boundary and grant the six counties and four districts of Hexi in Western Xia to Liao. The two families will divide Western Xia equally, so that Dashi Lin Ya can look back at his homeland. What do you think?!"

Yelu Dashi's heart was pounding, but he sneered again. He seemed to think that it was a bit unworthy of him to threaten a senior official of the Song Dynasty who dared to cross the 2,000-mile blockade of Xixia with only ten people. He considered the pros and cons in his heart, and stroked his chin perfunctorily: "You just said you had a gift for me?"

"have."

As Hu Hongxiu spoke, he took off the helmet of a Han knight beside him in front of Yelu Yudu's stunned gaze, and handed it to Xiao Worila, who was also a little confused.

But then, this important official of the Song Dynasty, who did not look like an important official of the Song Dynasty at all, said just one sentence, and all the Khitan people present changed their expressions:

"This is the helmet that Wanyan Loushi wore when he died at the foot of Yao Mountain! My emperor heard that this man had a close relationship with Dashilin Ya, so he asked me to bring it to you... It's just the right gift for Dashilin Ya and all the Khitan warriors."

Xiao Worila, who had been keeping a stern face, also lost his composure. His helmet, which smelled of sweat, fell to the ground and rolled several times in the magnificent palace of Gaochang before it stopped.

"Minister Hu." After a long while, Yelu Dashi broke the silence. "I also heard some words from the Tangut merchants... Some people said that in the battle of Yaoshan, it was your emperor who shot Wanyan Loushi to death with an arrow?"

"No, it was Qu Duan, the commander of the Imperial Camp Cavalry, who shot Lou Shi under the armpit with an arrow, Han Shizhong, the commander of the Imperial Camp Left Army, who shot Lou Shi on the head of his horse with an arrow, and Li Shifu, the deputy commander of the Imperial Camp Cavalry, who was hit by another arrow. Then Hou Dan, the commander of the Imperial Camp Central Army, rushed forward with an axe, first chopped off his arm, then chopped off his head!" Hu Hongxiu answered seriously. "As for my emperor, although he had drawn his bow and wanted to shoot early, he failed. If it weren't for Commander Qu's arrow, he would have almost died on the spot... However, these are all old stories. My emperor has a few words for me to pass on to Dashi Lin Ya..."

"No hurry." Yelu Dashi suddenly stood up and turned to look at Bilege, the Uighur king of Xizhou. "I would like to borrow flowers to offer to Buddha and ask for a glass of fine grape wine for Minister Hu."

Ps: Thanks to my book friend Xiahou Ningyuan for the support...I am very grateful.
