"Looting grain?" Xiao Qing'er squatted in front of the stove and baked the sole cake, and the millet porridge in the big iron pot was steaming, "It's fun." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info but where are you going to rob? How do you get it back after the robbery? Are you sure you can tell that you are robbing the Liao? ”

Jin Huang looked at the sky for a long time and stood up with a pout: "I'll go and ask the idiot to borrow a map." That, wrap me a few cakes and put more sesame seeds and chopped green onions. ”

"No need to run," Ning Anping said as he got into the tent, "I'll bring it to you." ”

Jin Huang took the rough map, looked at it carefully for a long time, and raised his head suspiciously: "Are you sure this map is reliable?" ”

"How do I know that?"

"Well," she said, standing up and clapping her hands, "if you can't get food, I'll say there's something wrong with the map." Hey, Xiao Qing'er, are you going? ”

"No, I've found something interesting."

"What's so funny, you didn't tell me? Beware that I come back and strangle you. ”

"Hehe," Xiao Qing'er smiled gloomily, humming a song and flipping the cake, as if she hadn't heard it.

So, Cook Lady A set off with a suspicious map and a stack of shoe sole cakes.

"My Great Song Dynasty is in harmony today, there is no catastrophe, and the Liao Kingdom is actually causing an incident for no reason at this time, I don't know why," Xiao Yanran frowned thoughtfully as she played with the thin bamboo tube that she didn't know where to go.

"What else does Liaoguo say?" Liu Qingtian snorted coldly, "There are people above these root temples who are considering, and we will consider how to retreat from the enemy." ”

"100,000 Liao soldiers, 200,000 silver, 300,000 silk silks, what does General Liu think?"

"Take it by force! It's outrageous! Liu Qingtian was furious.

"You know what I think?" Xiao Yanran said with a straight face, "I think he wants too little." ”

"General Xiao," Fang Deyong, who had not spoken, stood up nervously, "How can you say that?" Liao is so aggressive, do you think they are kind, is it Bela? Ouch, the saint is so anxious about this matter that he can't sleep every night, and the courtiers must know how to share the worries and fights for the saint? It's not easy to make such jokes. ”

Fang Deyong's accent is sticky and fast. Xiao Yanran's serious expression suddenly became a little crying and laughing, and Liu Qingtian also glared at him with righteous indignation, Meng Yunping had no choice but to pat him on the shoulder sympathetically. At this time, it was reported outside that Xu Hong, the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, arrived.

This person was an envoy sent by the capital to negotiate peace with the Liao State, about forty years old, with a thin body, a black and shiny beard on his chin, not smiling, and quite majestic in his actions.

"General Xiao," Xu Hong arched his hand, "I will meet with the Liao envoy and Ma Yi tomorrow, I wonder if General Xiao can be ready?" ”

Xiao Yanran saw that there was a resolute look on his face, and couldn't help but say comfort: "Lord Xu don't have to worry, the Liao people have always admired brave and heroic people, and if you are as determined as you, you will definitely live up to your mission." ”

Xu Hongluo sneered: "General Xiao knows what kind of determination Xu has? ”

Xiao Yanran smiled: "No matter what Lord Xu plans, Xiao will be the commander of the guard team tomorrow to escort Lord Ma Yi." ”

"This must not be ...... If there is a mistake......"

"Lord Xu is a person with a big hill, why bother?"

"Then Xu will wait for General Xiao at the post house tomorrow," Xu Hong was about to leave after saying goodbye, but he heard Xiao Yanran say in a low voice: "Lord Xu, Xiao took the liberty of asking, does the Holy Lord have instructions?" ”

Xu Hong paused and replied without looking back: "I have nothing to say at this time." ”

"Yan Ran!" Meng Yunping opened the curtain and came in, and said hurriedly, "You can't go!" ”

"Brother Yunping, do you think I don't know the number of diplomatic etiquette? Or are you worried that my martial arts skills are not good enough to protect Lord Xu? ”

"This matter is not funny, if Xiao Su learned that you and Xu Hongju were in his camp, what do you think he would do? Could he have missed this great opportunity? ”

"I just shot him an arrow on the city tower, he shouldn't recognize me," Xiao Yanran replied casually as she flipped through the documents on the case.

"That arrow almost killed him, he won't know you!" Meng Yunping almost roared.

Xiao Yanran glanced at Meng Yunping and said with a smile: "Who are you listening to?" ”

Meng Yunping said angrily: "Xiao Su is ashamed of his life, there are still people inside and outside Yanmen Pass who don't know? ”

"I shot him in the back of the shoulder...... By the way, what did Mr. Liu say. ”

"Jumping there and scolding you for not knowing the overall situation," Meng Yunping's tone suddenly fell.

"Take your time," Xiao Yanran said, "With you and the old man here, what is there to worry about when I go to Mayi?" ”

Meng Yunping said, "This Xiao Su is a powerful character, even when General Tian was there, he also suffered several losses from him, you must be careful." ”

"I've got my own measure."

"When did you have a sense of proportion?" Meng Yunping glared at him and sighed fiercely.

The next day, across the barren grass and snow-mottled Yanmen Mountain, it is the border of Mayi in Shuozhou, Liao. Meng Yunping couldn't rest assured after all, and accompanied him to the West Path Village in the south of Yanmen Mountain.

Looking at the thirty cavalry guards around him and Fang Deyong with a shrunken expression, Xu Hong remembered the edict given to him by the saint who was far away in Tokyo before leaving, and his heart unconsciously became desolate with the scenery in front of him.

"What kind of ambition is it to think that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was a young man and ambushed 300,000 soldiers here to wait for the Huns? And I, the Great Song Dynasty, when will I be able to build this feat, and then return to Yanran. ”

Xiao Yanran raised his head, thinking that Xu Hong was calling his name, but he immediately understood that what Xu Hong was feeling was Yanran Mountain, which marked the complete defeat of the Xiongnu by the Great Han.

Xu Hong also realized his gaffe, and coughed lightly: "The Holy Lord once told me that General Xiao is agile and flexible, and according to the danger of Yanmen Mountain, he can block millions of divisions. ”

Xiao Yanran said with a smile: "I hope that one day, Chen Bing will have 300,000 soldiers, and Da Dan Yu will be invited to fight with this." ”

As they spoke, puffs of smoke and dust suddenly rose from the north, and the piercing sound of trumpets pierced through the air, and the Liao soldiers who greeted them arrived.

Seeing this formation, the thirty cavalry guards under Xiao Yanran were all energetic and fearless. Only Fang Deyong was looking around, so nervous that he was at a loss. Xu Hong opened his mouth and reprimanded: "We are representing the great Song dynasty, your face is frightened, won't you ruin the majesty of my monarch and ministers, and show my cowardice in the Great Song Dynasty?" ”

Fang Deyong had no choice but to fight hard, followed Xu Hongma step by step, and was surrounded by Liao soldiers and came to the Mayi camp.

Xiao Su was already waiting outside the tent, his forehead was thick, his eyes were shining, he knew at a glance that he was a powerful person, and two young men dressed as guards behind him, one of them had a heroic face, although he was just standing respectfully behind Xiao Su's side, and his gestures revealed a kind of fierceness that was difficult to hide.

After the two sides paid a visit according to etiquette, Xiao Su invited Xu Hong into the tent, and the rest of the guards stayed outside the tent to wait according to the rules, but the young man followed him into the tent as a matter of course.

About two or three hours later, the sky was getting dark, and Xu Hongcai and Xiao Su walked out of the tent together. Xiao Yanran saw that although Xiao Su was still smiling, the Liao people behind him were angry, and he knew that Xu Hong would never let them take advantage, and couldn't help but say hello to this man who had no strength in his heart.

"Lord Xu," Xiao Su seemed to inadvertently glance at the guards brought by Xu Hong and said, "We have been discussing for more than two hours, and the guards you brought can stand outside the tent without moving, not even dusting off the snow, and my Xiao Su's own soldiers are afraid that they can't do it, I really admire." ”

Xu Hong was also a little surprised in his heart, but he still said flatly: "These are just soldiers temporarily transferred from Daizhou City, which makes Lord Xiao laugh, the military might of the Japanese army in the Great Song Dynasty is definitely not comparable to these people." ”

Xiao Su smiled: "Then I want to see it." ”

"If the border boundary is still entangled, Lord Xiao may have a chance, and it is not known."

"Lord Xu has a big breath," Xiao Su stroked his palm and laughed, "Xiao is waiting for good news here." ”

Xu Hong had no intention of arguing with him about winning or losing, so he turned around and said, "Let's go." Fang Deyong was overjoyed when he heard this, and couldn't help urging: "General Xiao, let's go." ”

"Wait," Xiao Su shouted, "Who did Fang Shoubei call just now?" I don't seem to hear clearly. His eyes were staring straight at Xiao Yanran's face.

Xiao Yanran knelt down on one knee and said, "Report to Lord Xiao, the guard is to call the villain." ”

"What's your name?"

"In Xia Yao Shao, it is a captain under General Liu Qingtian, Lord Fang first arrived at the border pass, and he couldn't figure out the rank of the general, so he called him a general for convenience."

"Oh, how do I hear it like a small word?"

"Lord Xiao," Fang Deyong was shocked into a cold sweat, and hurriedly laughed, "It's a southerner, Xiao and Yao are almost the same, please don't be surprised."

"Then do you know Xiao Yanran?"

"I've seen General Xiao, but I've never spoken."

"Then you go back and tell him," Xiao Su sneered, "I will thank him heavily for his generous gift." Before the words fell, the long knife on his waist choked out of the sheath and slashed directly at Xiao Yanran's head.

Everyone was shocked, Fang Deyong opened his mouth wide, and he was so frightened that he couldn't make a sound.

The white light flashed, the helmet rolled out of the snow with a clatter, the long hair was draped over her shoulders, Xiao Yanran still maintained a kneeling posture on one knee, and did not move at all.

Xu Hong took two steps forward and said angrily: "Deputy Envoy Xiao, you are deceiving people too much. ”

Xiao Su looked at the complacent "Yao Shao" and laughed: "Captain Yao is so bold, I'm out of shape, out of shape." Hurry up, get a glass of wine to suppress the shock of this Captain Yao. ”

Xiao Yanran got up and said: "It's just a head, and it's not an inch of the country, so why be surprised." ”

Xu Hong was afraid that Xiao Su would have another incident, so he hurriedly greeted the rest of the guards and left the Liao camp in anger.

Seeing them walk out of sight, the young man behind Xiao Su said coldly: "Since you know that he is Xiao Yanran, why didn't you kill him just now?" ”

"Your Highness doesn't need to worry, the two armies are fighting, don't cut the envoys, and now the face hasn't been torn off, you can't do this."

Yelu Hongyu stared at the direction they were going for a long time, then turned around and said, "Well, since that person can even betray him, it is only a matter of time before he takes Yanmen Pass." ”

The wind is blowing more and more tightly, no one speaks, only the sound of the wind is blowing in my ears, I don't know who will be in the world in the future (to be continued.) (To be continued.) )
