One hundred and fifty-five, breaking the oath
Yao Xitong analyzes Xiao Baoer and also analyzes himself. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoSpeaking of stupidity, why isn't he?
I thought I had a lot of secrets and saw through many people, but I was deceived by Wuya, and I didn't find out that Wuya had ambitions and intentions that were not inferior to men.
Of course, he didn't see Xiao Bao'er's intelligence, and he always regarded her as a stupid princess, and the real fool was himself after a long time.
The king of Northern Liao sat on the firewood, and Wanyan Yu and a cadre of ministers knelt beside the firewood.
They advised the king of Northern Liao not to self-immolate?
Wrong, they are asking the king of Northern Liao, if he dies, who will inherit the throne of Northern Liao.
The king of Northern Liao said an ancient tradition - the nine-part system, whoever can get all five jade pendants is the king of Northern Liao.
This law is both fair and in line with the fierce folk customs of Northern Liao, and almost no one objected to it.
After Yan Yu asked again, who is the jade pendant in the hands of the King of Northern Liao?
The king of Northern Liao was silent, raised his eyes to look at Yao Xitong in the distance, and seemed to want to say that the jade pendant should be kept by his daughter's husband.
Wu Ya saw the eyes of the King of Northern Liao, and said to Yao Xitong with a smile on the corner of her mouth: "I really love my daughter, and I am full of kindness to you." ”
Yao Xitong didn't speak, as long as he knew the past between the princess of Northern Liao and Xiao Bao'er, he should know that the king of Northern Liao was far from loving his daughter so much.
Wan Yanyu also saw that the king of Northern Liao wanted to hand over the jade pendant to Yao Xitong, and he would not let this happen. The five jade pendants are not only a symbol of the royal family, but also can also be used to dispatch troops.
The king of Northern Liao had an army of 250,000 in his hands, and each jade pendant could mobilize 50,000 soldiers and horses. Yao Xitong already has a piece in his hand, how can he let him get a second piece!
Wan Yan Yu gave a look to the courtiers beside him, and one of them stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the matter of the jade pendant still needs to be discussed in the long run." ”
The king of Northern Liao did not look at all like a man who was about to be burned to death, and he asked, "How many days do you plan to light this firewood?" ”
Wan Yanyu rarely seized this kind of opportunity, how could he let it go! He said: "Father, it is better to implement the nine-part system now, and let the few ministers present discuss who it is more appropriate to give this piece to." ”
Only three of the four tribal chiefs had arrived, and one was an elderly man with his heir.
Yao Xitong was also invited to participate as the princess's husband, and Wu Ya had just taken a step forward with him, when the king of Northern Liao on the firewood pile snorted coldly and asked, "Who are you?" ”
Wu Ya took out the set that fooled Yan Yu and replied loudly that she was Yao Xitong's staff.
The King of Northern Liao looked at her and asked again in a very disdainful tone, "Tanhualang needs a woman as a staff member?" The Uzbeks still don't have enough trouble? ”
Wu Ya pretended to be a man for more than ten years and had never been recognized, she thought that the people of Northern Liao were very easy to deceive, and she just tasted the sweetness and was about to show her skills, but unexpectedly, the king of Northern Liao beat her back to her original form in two words. The woman, the Wu tribe, the secret she hid was instantly exposed to everyone's eyes.
Yao Xitong lifted his feet and left, striving to use this rare freedom to leave something for Xiao Bao'er. He was sure that Wu Ya would not dare to chase, this was Northern Liao, and he was in a hurry to provoke the wolf master on the firewood, and he could order the two to be killed together at any time.
Yao Xitong was the last to enter the chamber, and everyone was waiting for him.
The person at the head is Wan Yanyu, and on both sides sit Wu Zu, Nan Tuotuo, the son of the head of the Yecuo department, the head of the Yesun department, and the head of the Batu department, and even him, a total of seven people. It didn't match the number of people in the nine-part system, and he wanted to know why he couldn't see the source of Yelu Sect when something so big happened.
Wan Yan Yu was the first to speak, went straight to the point, first asked who should keep the jade pendant of the king of Northern Liao, and recommended that it would be better to put the jade pendant in his hands.
Wu Zu asked everyone to raise their hands to vote, and if everyone thought that Yan Yu's proposal was good, the jade pendant of the King of Northern Liao would be handed over to him for safekeeping.
The head of the Yecuo tribe and the son of the head of the Batu department have already raised their hands. As long as one more person raises his hand, the jade pendant of the king of Northern Liao will fall into the hands of Wan Yan Yu, and Yao Xitong is very anxious about this.
Recently, he carefully studied the division of military power in Northern Liao, and he understood what the five jade pendants represented.
The king of Northern Liao commanded 250,000 troops, divided them into five parts, and was commanded by the holder of the five jade pendants.
The five armies are: the Guardians of the Royal City, the Prairie Warriors, the Guardians of the Dead, and the Messengers of the Gods. Among them, there are 100,000 grassland warriors, 50,000 troops on the border, and 50,000 wandering in the grassland to settle tribal disputes.
The jade pendant that commanded the guardian of the royal city was in the hands of the king of Northern Liao.
The jade pendant with the grassland warriors in the hands of Yelu Zongyuan and Wan Yan Yu respectively, Yelu Zongyuan managed the internal disputes of the grassland, and Wan Yan Yu was responsible for resolving border conflicts.
The jade pendant held by Xiao Bao'er is responsible for commanding the undead guards, and this group of people is to put it bluntly, they are tomb keepers, living in the depths of the grassland, and specializing in guarding the tombs of the previous kings of Northern Liao.
The jade pendant of the Wu Ancestor can gather the messengers of the gods, these people believe in the Wu Ancestors, and they are scattered among the tribes as veterinarians or witch doctors.
In addition to the 250,000 soldiers and horses in the hands of the king of Northern Liao, the rest of the soldiers and horses were all recruited. As long as there is a war, each tribe must gather at least 20,000 or more soldiers and horses to the king of Northern Liao. The four tribes, with more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, were all cavalry.
Wan Yanyu held a jade pendant in his hand and managed the 50,000 garrisons stationed on the border of Liaoxia and western Liaoning. If the jade pendant in the hands of the king of Northern Liao was obtained by him, it meant that the imperial city and border of Northern Liao were in his hands, which was very disadvantageous to Xiao Bao'er.
Yao Xitong suddenly grabbed Nan Tuotuo, who wanted to raise his hand, and whispered to him, "I know the entrance to the White Sacred Domain, where you can find the Ice Wolf. ”
He had sworn to Xiao Bao'er not to say anything about the entrance to the White Sacred Domain, and seeing that Yan Yu was going to succeed, he could only break his oath.
Nantuo looked at Yao Xitong suspiciously, and asked, "Do you want to exchange this secret for me to raise my hand for you?" ”
Yao Xitong is not an idiot, if he asks for a jade pendant, it is estimated that no one will raise his hand. You can also choose Wu Zu, but this situation today is not safe......
The king of Northern Liao was still sitting outside on the firewood pile, and he had everything to say. No one knows what will happen when the fire is lit, and the best thing to do now is to let the jade pendant remain on the throne and wait for someone who can take it.
In addition to the nine-part system, there is an even older tradition in the Liao State called the Nine Warriors.
At the beginning of the establishment of the Liao State, there was a war all the time, and the Liao king, including various subordinates, could die in the war at any time. If the king of Liao is killed in battle, and the head of the army is also killed in battle, and no heir is left, who should lead the army to attack or defend against the enemy?
The Nine Warriors are the rules that arise in this situation. Anyone who has the courage to kill the warriors chosen by the nine tribes with his bare hands is the rightful heir to the throne.
This rule sounds strange now, but it was very motivating for the army in that environment. Anyone can be king, every battle is for themselves, no wonder the Liao army can flatten all the opposition forces on the grassland in a short time and become the hegemon.
Since Northern Liao followed the old system of the Liao State, Wan Yanyu agreed to the nine-part system, so he naturally had to agree with the nine warriors, otherwise he would be a person with ulterior motives.
Yao Xitong looked at Nan Tuotuo and said, "I propose that the disposal method of this jade pendant should be the old system of the Nine Warriors, and those who can get it can get it, what do you think?" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
Wan Yanyu didn't even know what the Nine Warriors were, and the rest of the people had heard some of them, and they had long forgotten their specific rules. Hundreds of years have passed, and no one would have expected that the things written in this ancient book would be mentioned by a foreigner.
The head of the Yesun tribe was more than seventy years old, twisted his beard and said, "Let's do it, it's good!" ”
Wu Zu nodded, and also agreed with Yao Xitong's statement.
Nan Tuotuo had been hesitating, thinking that following Wan Yan Yu would also kill the ice wolf, he agreed.
Four of the seven people had already nodded, and Wan Yanyu didn't even know what the Nine Warriors were. In this case, he couldn't think of anything more than agree.
When the news spread outside, the king of Northern Liao, who was sitting on the firewood, said: It's good. He threw himself under his scythe, only to see the flames soaring into the sky, instantly enveloping it in flames.
When Yao Xitong and the others rushed outside, the sky had already darkened, and the brilliant flames were dancing happily in the square, and there was no one in the fire at all.
The huge pyre burned for most of the night, and seeing the flames extinguished little by little, Wan Yanyu and the others did not have the courage to take a step closer. The fire was arranged by him, if he did not burn the king of Northern Liao, it only means that there is a problem with the manpower he appointed, the king of Northern Liao is not completely ignorant of political affairs, this wolf lord is just waiting for the opportunity to catch it all.
Wan Yanyu's comrades had similar ideas, and their original intention was only to get rid of Wu Zu and further weaken the power of the King of Northern Liao. Yesterday's events were so sudden, no one would have thought that the King of Northern Liao would exchange himself for Wu Zu.
Yao Xitong looked at the fire in a daze.
Wuya sneered, "From ignition to extinguishing, I'm sure no one came out." Unless the king of Northern Liao can escape to the ground, if not, Northern Liao can start preparing for the funeral. ”
Because of Xiao Baoer, Yao Xitong has always had a strange emotion for the King of Northern Liao. Seeing that Wu Ya didn't even let go of the dead, he angrily squeezed out a sentence from his chest, "Why do you do this? ”
"I really regard the King of Northern Liao as the old Taishan! actually reluctantly suppressed the mother Gu and held back such a sentence. It's a pity that Yelubaoer doesn't know all this, only that you have forced her father to death. ”
"Northern Liao will soon be in chaos, I should take you to Liangdi to find Mrs. Liang to ask for merit. If possible, let them lend Uncle He to you, and believe that the nine warriors of Northern Liao will not be able to defeat Uncle He......"
Watching Xiao Bao'er suffer, Yao Xitong couldn't help but fall into memories, and unconsciously thought of Wu Ya. It's strange to say, as long as he thinks of this person, the half-dead Gu worm in his body seems to be active again.
No, he can't think about Wu Ya, he desperately controls his thoughts, and the Gu worms in his body don't let him get his wish. As soon as the two competed, the person who was bound to lose undoubtedly actually won the Gu worm by half a point, and the price was a mouthful of hot blood sprayed on Xiao Baoer's face.
Xiao Bao'er knew that Yao Xitong was helping to cover up the filth coming at her, and suddenly heard her coughing violently and spurting blood, she said, "Are you worried that I am not miserable enough, take the initiative to add some blood to help me dress up?" ”
"Xiaoxiao is so humorous, it's a pity that I have amnesia." Seeing that he could still talk, Xiao Baoer returned to the appearance of an old monk.
Before the prisoner car arrived in Chuncheng, Gao Han's people were already blocking the road to Chuncheng, saying that they were ordered to hand over the prisoners.
Tao Tao took out various documents to prove that they were just passing through Spring City, and the prisoners had to be sent to Dadu to be handled by Xia Zi.
Gao Han's people couldn't make up their minds, and said that they would send someone back to Spring City to ask the meaning of the prince, and let them stay in this person for a few days.
Coming-of-age Day is about to start, Xiao Baoer doesn't have time to stay, and the people in the Black and White Pavilion don't want to make extraneous branches. Without a gluttonous signal, the fox hidden in the shadows killed the person sent by Gao Han, and threw the body in the back kitchen.
Jairus, who was supposed to follow the team, left the team and went to the back kitchen.
When he came back, there were fewer killers in charge of escorting the prisoner car, and the few people sent by Gao Han were "alive" again.
Su Su said dissatisfiedly, "You are lying, didn't you say that it would take more than a month to concoct a human skin mask?" One night's work is what you call the rest of the month? ”
Jairus ignored Su Su and put on a look of not knowing him at all.
Su Su sat in a daze in the prisoner car in frustration, and threw the dried flowers hidden in his arms on the ground while he was not paying attention. Then she saw that she was crushed into the dirt by the wheels, as if she could forget the unhappiness in her heart.
Xiao Bao'er saw everything in her eyes and whispered, "Pity! ”
Su Su is so smart, why do you have to stubbornly think that women must follow men to have their own sky. She wronged herself to the dust and didn't get Xuan Ze's love, she turned around and treated Jair, obviously she had been touched, but she lived in the past and didn't want to think about the future.
Yao Xitong asked, "Who are you talking about?" Aren't all women like that? When they are pursued, they have a high profile, and once the suitor gives up, they feel regretful, and they wish that the suitor would always follow behind. ”
"What if you're a suitor? How long can it be maintained? ”
Yao Xitong was asked, if he was asked to chase Xiao Bao'er, it is estimated that there is no saying that he can't catch up. But such an answer will definitely make Xiao Bao'er unhappy, he said: "My method of chasing people is relatively new, I will steal her most important things, and then let her run after me!" ”
According to the routine, Xiao Baoer should ask, what will you steal, how do you know what is the most important thing for a woman. He replied proudly, he would steal his heart, and the woman's heart was stolen, so she naturally wanted to run with him!
Xiao Bao'er is not a person who follows the routine, she frowned and thought for a while, and said: "The women of Great Xia value chastity the most, you are the behavior of a flower thief." Except for the woman, it is estimated that the woman's whole family will run after you. ”
Yao Xitong was speechless, and he didn't know how Xiao Bao'er's head grew, so he didn't associate stealing hearts and stealing chastity at all.
"Isn't the most important thing in man the heart?"
"You're so bored, you can steal your heart, what's the difference between pursuing success and pursuing success?" Getting together again, Xiao Baoer was obviously not as easy to deceive as before, and the topic returned to the beginning.
Yao Xitong had no choice but to say honestly, "I like whoever will definitely be able to catch up." ”
"Why?"
"I am a man of both appearance and intelligence."
Xiao Bao'er snorted coldly, obviously not believing.
Yao Xitong had no choice but to say, "Stalking." ”
"That's pretty much it, you're at that level."
