Chapter 481: Breaking Through the Encirclement
The two sides are one hundred and ten paces apart, and within the range of the bow and arrow, Yang Xianmao has a scale vest to protect his body, and there are so-called hostages in his hands, so there is no need to panic. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
He shouted, "Call your commanders, I have something to say." β
Soon, a Liao general wearing armor walked out of the crowd, holding a big axe in his hand, and said in a gloomy voice: "General Yeluwali, you have no way to escape, what else do you have to say? Why don't you kneel down and surrender quickly!"
Yang Xianmao sneered and said, "You first step forward and see who I am holding in my hand." β
Yelu Wali stepped forward and walked a little further, only more than ten steps away, and finally saw the hostage Xiao Gan in Yang Xianmao's hand clearly, and couldn't help but be shocked, and said urgently: "General Xiao Gan?
Xiao Gan smiled bitterly and said, "Vali, you must not act rashly. Me and Commo, along with one of my own soldiers, fell into their hands. β
Yelu Wali nodded, pointed at Yang Xianmao with the mountain axe in his hand and said, "If you know each other, quickly release General Xiao Gan, I can save you from death." Otherwise, even if you can pass my level, don't expect to go ahead, even if you reach the extreme arctic cold land, you don't expect to be able to get the elixir of immortality and the water of the Styx under the ice layer of thousands of feet. If you hurt General Xiao Gan, the queen will never let you go, and she will hunt you down to the ends of the earth until she chops you into pulp!"
"Alright, don't talk about these big things here, if you don't want him to die, get your people out of the way. As for whether you can get the Immortal Pill, then you don't have to worry about it. β
Xiao Gan said in a loud voice: "General Vali, hurry up and tell your people to get out of the way." β
Yelu Wali nodded, Xiao Gan is the son of the prime minister, if there is something wrong under him, he can't explain it. Therefore, take a few steps back, raise the axe, and say in a loud voice: "Bow and arrow down, separate left and right, let them pass,"
Yang Xianmao turned around and said loudly to the people behind him: "Hurry up and get on the sleigh cart and come over, they get out of the way, hurry!"
The people behind had already heard what they said earlier, and had already re-set up the sleigh and drove quickly to Yang Xianmao.
Yang Xianmao grabbed Xiao Gan into his sleigh cart, and then galloped all the way, passing through the defense line of the Liao archers, and galloping north.
After running out of the way for a while, Yang Xianmao let go of Xiao Gan.
Xiao Gan stretched out his hand and motioned for Yang Xianmao to re-tie him. Yang Xianmao smiled and said: "No need, I believe you won't attack us, and thank you for helping us get through this just now, otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable." β
Indeed, if the thousands of archers of the Liao army released their arrows together, they were in the dark again, and they were only afraid that they would suffer a big loss like the last time. This Xiao Gan offered to be a hostage to force Yelu Wali to get out of the way, especially in the previous fierce battle with the white bear, everyone was desperately trying to deal with the white bear, at this time, if Xiao Gan said that he wanted to kill them, it was the best opportunity, he could use the attack of the white bear, take advantage of the chaos to kill their people, and then take the opportunity to escape, but Xiao Gan did not do this, it seems that what he said before, he is willing to help Yang Xianmao reach the extreme arctic cold land through the Liao army blockade, and repay Yang Xianmao for saving his life, what he said is true. Therefore, Yang Xianmao was simply more generous, anyway, there were bitter pills that could be controlled, so he no longer tied him up, but he was not given the antidote to the bitter pills.
Yang Xianmao asked him to sit on another sleigh and follow her, so that he could monitor her at any time. Kang Mo and the soldier who were still behind also untied their ropes, but let them drag them back and be monitored by Feng Qiuyu and Huang Ding in the back.
Xiao Gan was a little grateful that Yang Xianmao didn't tie him up again, and said, "Thank you Lord Yang for your trust in me, I won't live up to your trust." On the way, you have to pass through the defense line of the Liao army, and you can still pass through it like this. My father was the prime minister, and they didn't dare to mess around. β
Yang Xianmao nodded and said, "If that's the case, then it's great, I really don't want to hurt people's lives more." Neither the people who killed you, nor our people who were killed, do not want it. β
Xiao Gan asked Yang Xianmao: "How did the black dagger in your hand come from? As far as I know, there are only three handles in the world, in the hands of Yelu Xiyin and his two sons. That thing was obtained by Yelu Xiyin after fighting his life, and he regarded it as a treasure, and he usually didn't even give it to others if he wanted to see it. How did you get it. β
Yang Xianmao said: "You tell me first, how is Yelu Xiyin now?"
After he surrendered that day, he was placed under house arrest in Zuzhou, but the emperor had the virtue of a good life, he was the emperor's uncle, and his wife was the queen's own sister, so he did not kill him. So the delicious food and drink are served. However, with such a major event as rebellion, he doesn't want to make a comeback in his life. β
Yang Xianmao said, "What about the black dagger in his hand?"
"After he was captured, the dagger was taken and presented to the queen. I heard that Empress Xiao gave the dagger to Han Derang, the envoy of Jiedu. β
Of course, Yang Xianmao knew about Han Derang, the last time he followed Song Taizong to the north to conquer Youzhou, and the army attacked Youzhou. The defender defending Youzhou is none other than Handla. Although there were not many soldiers in the city, Han Derang still stubbornly led the army to hold the city, blocked the strong attack of the Song army, and took advantage of the situation to counterattack after Yelu Xiuge and other reinforcements arrived, defeating the Song army. Even Song Taizong was hit by two arrows in the leg. Therefore, Yang Xianmao was very impressed by Han Derang. The so-called sword was given to the martyrs, and the queen saw it accurately, and gave this black dagger with iron like clay to Han Derang, a fierce general.
However, there are many fierce generals in the Liao army, such as Yelu Xiuge, Yelu Xianzhen, etc., these people's Wen Taowu strategy is not under Han Derang, why did the queen want to reward Han Derang with this very precious black dagger?
This mystery was exposed by Xiao Gan, he was grateful for Yang Xianmao's trust, anyway, he told all the important information, so why not tell some inside stories in exchange for Yang Xianmao's further trust. So he said: "Lord Yang may not know the true identity of this Han Derang, and he doesn't know why the queen wants to give this dagger to Han Derang, right?"
Yang Xianmao shook his head, he was indeed a little curious, this Xiao Gan also saw through his mind at once.
Xiao Gan said mysteriously: "This Han Derang's father is called Han Kuangsi, and he is the emperor's favorite minister. Before the emperor succeeded to the throne, they had a good relationship. Han Kuangsi is now staying in Beijing, with excellent medical skills, and is very favored by the emperor and queen. The two families had close contacts, and the empress was actually engaged to Han Derang before marrying the emperor, and many people knew about it. Because the emperor took a fancy to the queen, summoned her to the palace, and finally became the queen. So the two of them didn't make it out in the end. Do you understand now why the empress gave this dagger to Han Derang? It is likely that she got the acquiescence of the emperor, and the emperor robbed Han Derang's fiancΓ©e, and he felt a little sorry in his heart. And the emperor is very dependent on the Han family to help govern the world, so ah, hehehe. β
Yang Xianmao sighed, it turned out that this Han Derang and Queen Xiao Yanyan had a marriage contract, they were a couple, but they were broken up by the emperor, but this queen is really bold enough. actually gave such a baby dagger to his former lover, and he was not afraid that the emperor would be jealous and angry. It can be seen that the people of the Liao Dynasty did act differently from the people of the Great Song Dynasty.
Yang Xianmao said: "This Han Derang should also accompany the queen to this extremely arctic cold place, right?"
"Yes, he is the Queen's personal bodyguard, leading the Guards to protect the Queen to the Arctic Cold. - Okay, I've told you everything I can say, and you haven't told me where this dagger came from?"
"When Yelu Xiyin's youngest son came to the Song Dynasty, I saved his life, and he gave me this dagger. β
Yang Xianmao still didn't tell the truth, he made up a story casually. There is a real basis for this story, that is, this dagger is from the second son of Yelu Xiyin, so the credibility is still relatively high.
Xiao Gan also believed what Yang Xianmao said. He pondered for a moment and asked Yang Xianmao, "Why do you say those white bears have such thick skin? I have the impression that although the white bear's skin is tougher than that of ordinary bears, it has not reached the level of invulnerability at all, what is going on?"
Yang Xianmao shook his head and said, "I also wonder in my heart. If it weren't for the dagger in my hand, I would still be in trouble today. Why the white bear can't even hurt them with a sword, it's really incomprehensible. However, this ice field is very strange and incomprehensible. β
Xiao Gan said: "Yes, there are a lot of strange things on this ice field. Twice on the way, we went back to the barracks we had abandoned. The first time the barracks were empty, there was nothing, but the second time I found that the barracks were full of blood, and it seemed as if it had just flowed out of the veins, and it had not yet frozen, which was really weird to the extreme. Moreover, our sled dogs and our two hundred or so soldiers were all eaten in an instant, without knowing what animal they were. Is there really a terrifying monster on this ice field?"
"There are definitely monsters in the world, and in the rivers of our Song Dynasty, there was once a huge crocodile, which is said to come from the flood era. The leather is exceptionally tough and invulnerable. We also met the giant Roc bird, which once swallowed me in the stomach and finally got away with it. So there are really no wonders in this world, and it is not impossible for monsters to appear on the ice field. β
"If it's a monster, why can't I see it? Can this monster fly?" I thought so at the time, but there were no strange animals in the sky. Only huge human handprints were found in the snow. I really don't understand what this monster looks like to be so capable. β
"Anyway, I hope the monsters don't come to trouble us again. β
However, it seems that fate is playing a joke on Yang Xianmao, and his good intentions have not been able to bring good results. Soon, the strange demon found them again.
When the day came, they camped for the night and rested, sat around and cooked beef and mutton cakes, and after eating, they went to their tents to rest.
Before going to bed, it should be convenient, Yang Xianmao walked downwind, ready to take more than a hundred steps and then take a small solution.
At this time, the Ghochang Uighur caught up with him, chattering and gesturing as he spoke. Yang Xianmao guessed his general meaning, he wanted to go with Yang Xianmao to be convenient and have a companion. Yang Xianmao nodded in agreement, and the two walked side by side towards the darkness. After walking a hundred and ten steps, looking back at the looming tent, the two of them stopped, each turning slightly sideways.
Yang Xianmao finished and said in a loud voice, "Are you alright?" but did not hear the Gaochang Uighur speak.
