Chapter 60: Good and Evil (V)
Wanyan Tiexiong's face changed three times in an instant. The gloomy and perverse look just now disappeared, replaced by a disgusting hypocritical and artificial smile. He said: "It turns out to be Mr. Jiaxuan. Seeing is believing. I am so lucky to meet you. Mr. Jiaxuan's talent is famous at home and abroad. Although I live in a poor place, I also yearn for the profound culture of the Central Plains. I must chew and taste Mr. Jiaxuan's poems carefully. I didn't expect to see it today. It's really a great honor, a great honor. I was in a hurry just now and offended a lot. I hope Mr. Jiaxuan can forgive my recklessness." Xin Qiji said coldly: "If it weren't for Mr. Liu's help, how could Xin have the life to forgive your recklessness?" Wanyan Tiexiong said: "I will always control my temper in the future and promise not to do it again."
Xin Qiji said: "I guess we Song people have been hit too many times by you. It's impossible to change it in a short time."
Wanyan Tiexiong's face turned from sunny to cloudy, and then from cloudy to sunny. It seemed that he took a lot of effort to suppress the anger in his heart. He said: "It seems that Jiaxuan has a deep prejudice against our people."
Xin Qiji said: "It's not prejudice, it's hatred, a deep-rooted hatred. As long as you beasts are not driven out of the border of the Song Dynasty, I, Xin Qiji, will not be able to spit out the anger in my heart."
No matter whether Wanyan Tiexiong's words were soft or hard, Xin Qiji pressed on step by step and did not give in.
This retort made Wanyan Tiexiong lose face, and Han Tuozhou could only bite the bullet and come up to smooth things over. He placed one hand on the knife tremblingly and said, "My lords, we are all here to have fun, why do we have to make things so tense and murderous? Lord Xin, General Wanyan is accompanying the Jin Dynasty's special envoy to discuss matters with our dynasty. He is a distinguished guest of our dynasty. We are all working for the friendly coexistence of the two dynasties. We are brothers, how can we be like enemies when we meet?" His words were soft but firm, as if he wanted to tell Xin Qiji not to act on impulse, so as not to give the Jin people an excuse to start fighting again.
Xin Qiji was helpless, knowing that now was not the time for a conflict, and that he had already hit Wanyan Tiexiong's arrogance, so he could only sigh.
