Chapter 170: Killing the King
Since I saw Yelujun that day, more than a month has passed, and no one has come to visit Xiao Feng again. In this regard, Xiao Feng did not care. Although he was in prison, it may have been ordered by Yelujun, and the jailer was polite and thoughtful to him, and there was never a shortage of wine. And after all, he is a martial arts practitioner with an excellent foundation, and he only drinks and exercises every day, and despite the lack of medical treatment, he has slowly survived.
Seeing that his internal strength was gradually recovering and the injuries on his shoulders were no longer serious, Xiao Feng would not sit still, so he began to observe the movements of the officers and soldiers in charge of guarding him in the cell. Within a few days, Xiao Feng saw the clues. It turned out that when Xiao Feng was first imprisoned, the Liao lord Yelu Hongji sent 100 officers and soldiers to guard him day and night, lest he escape. At the beginning, these 100 officers and men were still conscientious. Unexpectedly, more than a month has passed, and the palace has always ignored Xiao Feng, and these officers and soldiers in charge of guarding have gradually slackened. Although it is not unguarded, the number of people in charge of guarding it is gradually decreasing. Xiao Feng thought to himself that he would be able to breathe for a few more days, and if he couldn't say it, he could fight it together, and he became more and more attentive to his practice.
At the same time, Jiang Changyun, the leader of the beggar gang, and dozens of good players in the gang rushed to Shangjing with Duan Yu and Xuzhu, looking for an opportunity to rescue Xiao Feng.
Late that night, Xiao Fengfang was full of wine and closed his eyes to breathe, and there was a sudden low knock on the door outside the cell. An officer and soldier in charge of guarding Xiao Feng went to open the door, and when he entered, he saw three men dressed as palace guards standing outside the door with baskets.
The palace guards are close ministers of the Son of Heaven, and they are naturally one level higher than ordinary officers and soldiers. When the officer and soldier saw this, they hurriedly knelt down to give a salute and asked, "I have already delivered a meal today, why did my lord come?" ”
I saw that the leader took out a waist card of the East Palace, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty has a will, and Xiao Feng will be killed tomorrow." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is benevolent and righteous, and he specially ordered the official to send a meal with a severed head, so that he can be a full ghost! ”
As he spoke, the officer and soldier had already checked the basket of wine and food as usual, and when they were sure that there was nothing suspicious, they took a step away and bowed down and said with a smile: "Xiao Feng is inside, my lord, please!" "According to the rules, anyone who enters the cell is to be searched. It's just that how can this ordinary officer and soldier dare to search for the guards around His Royal Highness the Prince?
Soon, the four of them came to the door of the cell together. Seeing that Xiao Feng's pipa bones on both sides were pierced, and his body was covered with nine iron chains, the three guards were unconsciously slightly stunned. After a while, the guard Fang Fang who was the leader coughed lightly and said loudly: "Xiao Feng, your time has come, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered me to send one!" ”
Xiao Feng slowly opened his eyes, and as soon as he raised his eyes, he saw that the three East Palace guards were looking at him with an earnest expression. Although the person at the head had a beard glued to his beard and blackened his face, Xiao Feng also recognized this person at a glance as his sworn brother Duan Yu. "You ......"
As soon as he said two words, several officers and soldiers in the cell shouted in panic: "Viper! Where did the viper come from? "I saw that in the cracks of the doors and panes of the cell, countless poisonous snakes poured in, stuck out their tongues, and meandered in, and there was chaos in the cell. Seeing this, Xiao Feng only smiled slightly, just because he had recognized that the two people standing behind Duan Yu were the current beggar gang leader Jiang Changyun and the beggar gang elder Wu Changfeng. And manipulating poisonous snakes has always been the housekeeping skill of the beggars' disciples.
In the midst of the chaos, one of the officers and soldiers suddenly shouted: "Go and report the news!" Before the words fell, Jiang Changyun had already slapped him on his body, and he vomited blood and died immediately.
Xiao Feng could only hear the shouts for help and couldn't stop ringing, and after a while, the twenty or thirty officers and soldiers in the cell were killed cleanly.
I saw Duan Yu take out a broken blade from his waist and slash it with his hand, and those iron bars as thick as children's arms were broken into two in an instant. He walked into the cell and made a few "clicks", which broke several chains that locked Xiao Feng's hands and feet. But he saw that there were still two iron hooks piercing Xiao Feng's pipa bones, and the other end of the iron hook was firmly nailed to the wall, so he didn't dare to do anything.
"Big brother, how can they treat you like this?" By the faint light of the candle, Duan Yu quickly noticed that Xiao Feng's shoulders were stained with blood on both sides. He was so sad that he couldn't help but hug Xiao Feng and cry loudly.
Xiao Feng didn't care, but he patted Duan Yu's shoulder with a smile, and asked softly: "Third brother, have you ever brought gold sore medicine?" ”
"With, with! Big brother, you ......"
Duan Yufang replied, and Xiao Feng pulled out the two iron hooks inch by inch from the shoulders on both sides!
"Big brother!"
"Joe's Gang Master!"
Duan Yu and the other three screamed in unison, hurriedly stretched out their fingers to point at the acupoint on his shoulder, and applied gold sore medicine to his shoulder.
Xiao Feng didn't even move his eyebrows, and only asked, "It's heavily guarded outside, how to go?" As he spoke, a big hole suddenly fell into the ground at Xiao Feng's feet.
Duan Yu hurriedly pointed to the cave and whispered, "Go from the tunnel!" But it turned out that Duan Yu had a drill expert Hua Hegong by his side, and he used more than ten days of hard work to build a tunnel that led to Xiao Feng's iron cage.
Xiao Feng was immediately overjoyed when he saw it, and was about to leave, when there was another voice outside: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!" ”
Hearing this, Duan Yu and the others changed color at the same time. Their original plan was to escape through the tunnels and set fire to the cell to cover their tracks. When the Khitans found out that Xiao Feng was not buried in the fire, but escaped through the tunnel, they had also driven out of Yanmen Pass and were safe. However, the prince of Liao Kingdom suddenly arrived, and he must have found out that Xiao Feng was missing quickly, and this plan would not work.
Duan Yu was at a loss for lack of experience, but Jiang Changyun made a decision immediately, and immediately said: "I'll go and capture the prince!" "With the prince of Da Liao in hand, Yelu Hongji has to throw a mouse bogey no matter how angry he is.
I saw Jiang Changyun casually take a single knife in his hand, and with a kick of his legs, he swept out like a gale. I only heard another shouting and killing sound outside the door, and after a while, Jiang Changyun grabbed Yelujun and strode in, and said with a smug smile: "Brother Qiao, this bird prince doesn't know what's going on, so he dared to go out with four guards!" Do you see if it's true or not? As he spoke, he threw Yelujun at Xiao Feng's feet.
Yelu Jun was powerless, and was thrown to the sky by Jiang Changyun. After a while, he slowly got up and said bitterly: "It turns out that my uncle has already found a way out...... Good! That's fine! Escaping one is a ......"
Xiao Feng and Yelujun have a deep relationship, and they were already surprised when they heard Yelujun's sad words. looked at him again, and after a long time, Yelujun was already very haggard. Xiao Feng looked strange and couldn't help asking, "His Royal Highness the Prince, what happened?" ”
Ye Lujun has rarely seen someone who cares about him sincerely in the past month, and his eyes are slightly red. I saw him slowly shake his head and choked up: "It's okay, uncle doesn't have to worry!" I had planned to secretly let my uncle go on this trip, but now ...... Uncle, let's go! ”
When Ye Lujun said this, how could Xiao Feng rest assured, and hurriedly asked: "If I escape, how will the prince explain to His Majesty?" ”
"He is the only son of me, what can he do with me if he doesn't confess?" Yelu Jun has always been very respectful to Yelu Hongji, but this time Xiao Feng mentioned Yelu Hongji again, but he didn't care.
Xiao Feng was still waiting to ask again, and Wu Changfeng was already anxious: "Gang Master Qiao, this place is dangerous, let's go first!" ”
Xiao Feng frowned, and suddenly pointed at Yelu Jun and said, "Take him with you!" ”
With Xiao Feng's words, Duan Yu and the others quickly fled through the tunnel with Yelu Jun, and Jiang Changyun was responsible for the aftermath, moved the corpse into the cell and lit a fire. Although the light of the fire can attract pursuers, it can also disguise the tunnel in the cell.
A group of five people climbed out of the tunnel for more than 100 zhang and climbed out of the hole next to a dirt slope on the outskirts of Shangjing. Outside the entrance of the cave, in addition to the Dali national masters brought by Duan Yu, there were dozens of beggar disciples and Xuzhu outside the cave. Seeing Xiao Feng escaped, everyone cheered. Before Xiao Feng could say hello one by one, many beggar disciples were already shouting: "Gang Master Qiao, this Khitan Emperor is not a thing!" Qiao Gang Leader should go back to the beggar gang with us and have a good time! ”
Jiang Changyun is now the leader of the Beggar Gang, but he was not annoyed when he heard that the disciples of the Beggar Gang still called Xiao Feng "the leader of the gang", he just looked at Xiao Feng and smiled: "Yes! Brother Qiao, you can go back to the beggar gang with us! You're still here to help! ”
With Jiang Changyun's sentence, all the beggar disciples looked at Xiao Feng with a worried face.
"The kindness of the brothers to Qiao, Qiao knows!" Unexpectedly, Xiao Feng set his eyes on Yelu Jun behind him, "But Xiao's business in Daliao is not over yet!" ”
Xiao Feng soon understood the reason for Yelujun's change of attitude towards Yeluhongji. Only the next morning, news came from the palace that Yelu Hongji had given the queen Xiao Guanyin to death and sent her body back to Xiao's house. Xiao Feng was stunned when he suddenly learned the news, but Ye Lujun beside him was already crying loudly.
"What the hell is going on?" Xiao Feng gritted his teeth and asked, although he minded Xiao Guanyin for several calculations, he always remembered the love of his aunt and nephew, and did not want to see Xiao Guanyin die so tragically.
The beggar gang rescued Xiao Feng and originally planned to leave Shangjing last night, but because of Yelujun, he temporarily settled in a remote farmhouse. Although the beggar gang hated Yelu Hongji, they could see that they were still polite to Yelu Jun in front of Xiao Feng. Hearing Xiao Feng's question, Yelu Jun choked up for a while before he said with shame and hatred: "Not long ago, Yelu Yixin entered the "Ten Fragrance Words" to his father and accused the queen mother of fornicating with others, and the father sent the queen mother to prison and tortured ...... without asking."
Xiao Guanyin and Yelu Hongji have an only son, although Yelu Hongji has already empathized with Mu Guifei over the years, but Xiao Guanyin is still thinking about her husband, how can he have an affair with someone? I saw Xiao Feng's teeth clenching the ground and gurgling, and he slammed his fist over the table next to him, and roared loudly: "This faint king!" ”
This time, Yelu Jun was no longer willing to defend Yelu Hongji, so he only buried his head and cried bitterly.
Xiao Feng stayed for a while and finally realized that he had not been cared about for more than a month, just because everyone's eyes turned to Queen Xiao Guanyin. In other words, if it weren't for Xiao Guanyin's accident, I am afraid that he would have been tortured to death by Yelu Hongji now. Thinking of this, Xiao Feng couldn't help but sigh faintly, and asked in a low voice, "What are the prince's plans in the future?" ”
Yelu Jun couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, and said mockingly: "Prince? What prince in this world would have an adulterous mother? The father sent the body of the queen mother back to the Xiao family, which was a decisive intention. Lonely disappeared overnight and no one knows, what kind of prince is he? …… He has a very close relationship with Mu Guifei, and he can't say that he will be able to add a good brother to Gu next year! I saw Yelujun stunned for a while, and suddenly held Xiao Feng's hand and said earnestly. Uncle, while your father hasn't discovered your whereabouts, go quickly! Go back to the Central Plains, you have so many good brothers, from now on incognito, never go back to Daliao again! ”
Xiao Fengshi couldn't let go of Ye Lujun, and immediately asked, "What about you?" ”
"Lonely can't go!" Yelujun was obviously stunned for a moment, but soon came back to his senses and said decisively. "Even if you die, you will die like a prince!"
Since they met last night, Yelu Jun has persuaded Xiao Feng to leave several times. Such a friendly attitude towards Xiao Feng obviously also earned Jiang Changyun a little friendship. At this time, he sat with him and listened to what the uncle and nephew said so much, and couldn't help muttering: "If you die, you are a dead man, what kind of prince is you?" This Prince Liao is not as strong as Princess Lingyun in the script! ”
After many years, this new version of "The Complete Biography of Yue Yue" is also popular in Daliao, and Yelujun has naturally read it. Therefore, as soon as Jiang Changyun's two sentences came out, he and Xiao Feng were shocked at the same time. The two of them slowly raised their heads, looked at each other, and saw the same murderous intent as themselves in each other's eyes!
That night, Yelujun asked to see Yeluhongji again.
Although Yelu Hongji ruthlessly killed his wife who gave him a cuckold, after all, there is only Yelu Jun, the only seedling, and he always has to make him understand the hardships of being a father. Therefore, Yelu Hongji quickly left Mu Guifei and summoned Yelu Jun in his palace.
Yelu Jun did not get up after giving the salute, but said earnestly: "The mother of the son of the emperor has lived up to the kindness of his father, and the son is no longer worthy of being the prince, so I beg my father to abolish the son of the minister!" ”
Yelu Hongji only has this son, although he is often worried that the prince will grow up and have the heart to seize power, but he really never thought of abolishing the prince. "Don't worry, Yale, you are my only child, you don't have to affect our father-son relationship for a slut!" Yalu Hu is Yelu Jun's milk name, and Yelu Hongji has not called him that for many years since the crown prince came of age.
Yelujun also seemed to be touched by this "Yale Confession", and immediately cried loudly: "If the mother does such a thing, the child really has no shame to see his father again!" Last night, Erchen went out of the palace to hunt and relax, thinking that it was better to die than to die, so there was no need to be so painful...... But when I think about it, my father only has one son, if I die, wouldn't it be a great unfilial piety for the godfather emperor to send a white-haired person to a black-haired person? Father......
Yelu Hongji has a temperament, and his ears are soft, and he was aroused by Yelu Jun's words, and he strode down the steps, and the father and son hugged their heads and cried.
After crying for a while, Ye Lujun finally took the lead in collecting his tears, and said ashamedly: "The son is not filial, and he makes his father sad, so I won't dare to do this in the future!" Speaking of which, he said shyly. My father used to think that his son was too weak, but this morning his son hunted a deer in the forest and brought it to his father! ”
In ancient times, the deer symbolized the authority of a country. Yelu Jun specially brought a deer to Yelu Hongji, which was naturally intended to reconcile with Yelu Hongji. Yelu Hongji obviously understood this truth, and did not ask if this was hunted by Yelu Jun himself, but only smiled and said: "Okay! Submit it quickly! ”
A short time later, a tall man dressed as a guard strode in with a deer on a gold platter.
Yeluhongji likes to hunt, and he is very happy to see that this deer is quite large. Without waiting for Yelu Jun to speak, he walked over on his own and prepared to take a closer look. After only taking two steps, the man dressed as a guard suddenly raised his head and looked straight at Yelu Hongji. The two looked at each other, and Yelu Hongji was immediately startled, and shouted loudly: "Xiao ......"
The man dressed as a guard was Xiao Feng!
Seeing this, Xiao Feng's heart suddenly became extremely clear at this moment, and he thought of a lot of past events. When he first returned to Daliao to save the driver, Yelu Hongji insisted on worshipping him, and he also treated him as a brother of the opposite sex sincerely. However, the two are not people on the same path after all. Whenever he saw Yelu Hongji, he was either hunting or drinking and feasting, and he never paid any attention to state affairs, and was at the mercy of Yelu Yixin's slanderous and flattering traitors. Xiao Feng repeatedly admonished, but in the end, he only ended up being ostracized and feared. He thought of the poor herdsmen on the grasslands, who huddled together with their flocks to keep warm in the snow, but even then they could only watch their possessions freeze and starve to death. The herdsmen's tearful faces gradually transformed into Yeluhongji's, shiny and drunk. Why should you provide for one of the people under heaven? Is it just because he is the emperor? Xiao Feng exhaled softly, lifted his palm and hit Yelu Hongji's heart hard. I only heard a loud "bang", and Yelu Hongji's whole person rose into the air, fell heavily on the throne in front of the palace, and died of anger immediately!
Yelu Hongji was suddenly assassinated, and all the maids in the palace couldn't help but shout at the same time. After a while, Yeluhongji's guard captain's room also rushed in with dozens of palace guards.
Yelujun and Xiao Feng were not frightened, only to see Yelujun walk up two steps quickly, stand in front of Yeluhongji's corpse and say loudly: "The first emperor has died, and I am the new emperor of Daliao!" Whoever dares to disobey will be killed! ”
When the room saw that it was Yelu Jun and Xiao Feng who assassinated Yelu Hongji, they were already six gods and no masters, but Xiao Feng didn't even look at the room, just knelt down and said, "Long live, long live!" ”
Xiao Feng took the lead in expressing his position, and the room thought that he was by no means Xiao Feng's opponent, and he knelt down with a long sigh, saying long live. As soon as the room knelt, all the guards knelt down. This group spread to a group, and soon the hall sounded like a tsunami of "long live".
