-------------------------------------------------- ----------------

In July of the fourth year of Xianping, the king of Danliumei Kingdom (also known as "Dengliumei Kingdom" and "Single Horse Order") sent envoys Dajima, deputy envoy Dala, judge Pini and other nine people to the The Song Dynasty paid tribute and presented gifts such as wood incense, Hu Huanglian, comfrey, red felt, calico, hematoxylin, and ivory.

Song Zhenzong summoned nine envoys in the Chongde Hall, gave back crowns, belts and clothing, and wrote to the Lord Duoyuji.This is the first time that Danliumei Kingdom went to the Song Dynasty as an envoy.

Zhenzong gave some tributes to Defang, and Defang brought them back to the palace, "Ma'am, these are the tributes from the Lord of Danliumei Kingdom. They are hard to see in the Central Plains. I wonder if Madam likes them?"

Concubine Di looked at it casually, "very good"

Seeing Concubine Di's absent-minded look, Defang knew that there must be something. Defang decided not to wait any longer, so after dinner, when Concubine Di went to take a bath, Defang stood back in the study and summoned her eldest son Weixu to ask directly. "Xu'er, what are you and your queen mother hiding from your father?"

After listening to this, Wei Xu said, "Father, the child and the queen mother have nothing to hide from the father."

"Say it again." Defang looked at Weixu

Wei Xu glanced at De Fang, then quickly lowered his head, "My child, it's all right..."

"Shut up! How dare you lie in front of your father!" Defang was furious

Wei Xu knelt down, "I know my mistake!"

"Since you know you're wrong, tell the truth."

"The child can't tell!"

"What!" De Fang stood up and looked at Wei Xu, "How dare you talk to your father like this!"

"Father, please calm down! My child... I really can't say it." Wei Xu fell to the ground

Defang was very angry, opened the door and called Jiajun, "Immediately tie Weixu to the lonely king!"

Song Jiajun was taken aback, "My lord, do you want the last general to tie up His Highness?"

"Yes! Immediately!" Defang ordered

Jia Jun looked at Weixu who was kneeling on the ground, and had no choice but to go forward and tie him up. Defang said, "Take him to the dining room, and let Zhou Shixiong, Gongliang Shiguan, Chongming, Shang En, and Nangong Wen sit in the dining room." Wait, the lonely king is going to arrest someone tonight."

"Father! Please don't go!"

"Shut up! Gag him and take him out!"

In the evening, Defang took a false sleep, Concubine Di got up and went out again, Concubine Defang followed behind, Concubine Di led the two into the small room next to the dining room, and then returned to the bedroom, Concubine Defang avoided Di Concubine and came with a torch At the door of the room, I opened the door and saw a man and a woman inside the room, dressed in shabby clothes, and the man was wearing a sword. Seeing De Fang enter the door, he immediately jumped up and asked, "Who are you?"

Defang looked at the man and woman and asked, "Who are you? Why are you in the palace."

When the man heard that Defang didn't know who they were, he felt something was wrong, and immediately pulled out his sword. Defang took a few steps back, and the three of them left the hut. The man pointed at Defang with his sword, "You want to arrest us?"

Defang glared at the man, "That's right! You'd better tell who you are, or you two will die here!"

"The two of us can't die!" As he spoke, he stabbed at De Fang with his sword, De Fang stepped back, Jia Jun flashed out from behind, and blocked the man's sword, and the two of them fought for dozens of rounds. The man's martial arts is not weak, but I don't know if it is because of physical reasons, the sword in his hand suddenly fell, Jia Jun immediately put the knife on his neck, the man gasped and said, "You can't kill me!"
