Liaoguo * Xijing Road

Roushi Terrace, the most lively wine shop in Xijing, the sheepskin is scattered with plum blossoms from the Southern Dynasty, and the shoulders and calves of women exposed from their leather jackets are dancing in the swaying firelight, solid light brown, full of unrestrained temptation. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info a man wrapped in a fox fur snuggled down in the red bush, carrying a silver knife upside down, and was singing to the beat, and the merchants who traveled with him were laughing uncontrollably, and there were even more wealthy merchants in the Northern Dynasty who couldn't hold it back, standing up and dancing.

"The Northern Dynasty lost the crown prince, and I didn't care about this Xijing Road, but let us take advantage of it, and this transaction could be used as a profit for a year or two."

The man obliquely looked at the northern merchants in the field, and laughed in a low voice: "The horse business is self-reliant, but unfortunately the northern and southern dynasties have been in the market for a long time, and we have to fish in troubled waters." ”

"Brother Tang seems to have this deep meaning, and he is dull, but he has never heard of Brother Tang's name in the industry before? If it weren't for the old man Liu of Jinyang, he really wouldn't dare to go with Brother Tang. ”

"Where, where," the man who called himself 'Tang Lu' pushed the cup and changed the lamp, "My family mostly travels in Yunnan, Guizhou and Shu, and if it weren't for the temptation of this horse market, it would be difficult to get to the north road." This time, thanks to Brother Li's guidance, I only took the numbers that my father ordered, and the rest ......."

"It's easy to say, everyone makes money! Ha ha. Li Guang heard him say this, he was already excited, if he returned to the Southern Dynasty smoothly this time, how much more would he earn?

"Su Mu'er! Why don't you see He Zhe? One of the northern merchants was a regular customer here, and when he was happy, he found a good match.

Su Mu'er flicked her skirt and said angrily: "People have already followed Master Aren, so I have to serve you without luck." ”

Tang Lu said with a smile: "It turns out that the women of the Northern Dynasty also have such a delicate state, and they have some taste!" ”

Su Mu'er heard him laugh, and saw that it was a rare handsome and golden person in the seat, so she took the opportunity to come over: "This guest, have you seen a lot of women?" ”

"It's smiling, it's just some Southern Dynasty warblers' soft red."

Su Mu'er only understood the word Southern Dynasty, and said with a smile: "I have also met some here, all of them are pretentious, cowardly, how can we be as happy as our Khitan daughter, come, son, have another drink." ”

"The green peach and green plum have their own color," Tang Lu twisted the wine on Su Mu'er's hand.

"Su Mu'er, you have served Brother Tang well, maybe you can buy a house to supply you!" Several merchants laughed on the sidelines.

Su Mu'er's eyes were full of autumn waves, and she said, "I don't dare to expect Sister He Zhe's blessing, such a big official as Master Aren." ”

"Don't say that," Tang Lu saw that his heart fluttered, and said with a smile, "The Tang people have poetry and clouds, and the Houmen is as deep as the sea, and Xiao Lang is a passerby from now on." ”

Su Mu'er was born in the **** of the Northern Dynasty, where did he know this, and he hurried to ask who this Xiao Lang was. Tang Lu saw that she was coquettish, and couldn't help but tease her to play, but he heard a man in the compartment laughing in a low voice: "Only Chaoyan doesn't understand the string song, and he pays Yayi." ”

Chaoyan is commonly known as morning glory, which is an ordinary bright color, and although Su Mu'er didn't understand the meaning of ridicule in this man's words, he was annoyed that he interrupted. Tang Lu glanced through the crack in the screen, and the man seemed to be drinking alone by the window, so he bowed and said, "Brother Tai has heard the string song, why not move to the same fun?" ”

The man didn't shirk either, and ordered the singer to remove the screen. He has a slender figure, a gray straight coat with a variegated leather jacket, a pale green silk belt at the waist, and a very ordinary merchant dress, far better than the delicate face of the singer here, has already explained his identity as a southerner, but even between Huaiyang, how many such colors can there be.

Tang Lu and the merchants were stunned. The man had already clasped his fists to Tang Lu and said, "Excuse me, it was this brother who spoke just now?" ”

"In the Lower Tanglu."

"In Xia Xiaoli, thinking about his hometown alone on a snowy night, I heard that Brother Tang is an elegant person, I hope to be able to talk about it, and I hope that Brother Tang is not disrespectful, and I hope that Brother Tang is not strange."

Tang Lu had already left Su Mu'er behind at this time, and took Xiao Li's hand to pull him into the seat: "I am worried that no one will sing peace, Brother Xiao, please take a seat." ”

The two of you say a word, I say a word, talking about poetry and anecdotes from the past and present, which is very speculative. After a while, Tang Lu stuffed a piece of silver into Li Guang's arms, and said in his ear: "You just have to be happy, Brother Xiao and I hit it off at first sight, so we should find another place to be affectionate." ”

Li Guang smiled narrowly: "Brother Tang is really a blessing. ”

Tang Lu laughed dryly, and the portable 'Xiao Li' quietly left in the lively singing and dancing.

The dark night was piled up with clouds above the torches held high by the Rouge Terrace, Xiao Li retracted his weak expression in the cold wind, and his handsome eyebrows and eyes were clear and compelling.

"You, a character who can only pick up the lamp and watch the sword, have deceived me so badly," Tang Lu said with a smile.

"If you want snow in the evening, can you drink a glass?"

"Well, let's take advantage of this place to be lively."

The two of them didn't go out of the Rouge Terrace, they asked for another upper room, and asked Tang Lu's servants to charter the next room to drink and play.

"After years of not seeing, you seem to be a little colder." "You're a little more amorous."

After a long silence, Xiao Li said, "This time, it has affected you and the teacher." ”

Tang Lu took out a fan out of nowhere and shook it: "I'm only fined for three years, I just think about it behind closed doors, and my master is far away in Luoyang, so I have nothing to do with him." Thinking that Li Ling was a different general back then, he had already implicated a lot, you are really bold! ”

"The Holy One is the King of Benevolence," Xiao Li sighed, "Yun Ping is ......"

"He's a meritorious man, you don't have to worry, just worry about yourself."

"Shuyan, Yunping doesn't know what is going on, you should put loyalty first, and there is absolutely nothing to blame."

"Of course I know," Tang Lu nodded, "what about that nobleman?" ”

"Naturally, it's with me."

Tang Lu breathed a long sigh of relief: "I finally didn't scold you in vain. ”

"Actually, Xiao Sufei pushed him over, I just followed."

"What do you mean by that?"

On that day, Yelu Hongyu and Xiao Yanran escaped from Yanmen Pass from the tunnel, and wanted to return to the camp, but Xiao Yanran revealed that Xiao Su was Xiao Youyuan's eagle dog, Yelu Hongyu couldn't help but hesitate, fortunately, both of them were dressed as businessmen, and they had a little money with them, so they found a small town to settle down and watched the changes.

Not to mention that Yanmen Pass hinders the Liao people outside the pass, and they dare not send a large army to search, although Xiao Su has set up cards everywhere and looks nervous, he only sent a small army out to inquire around.

"Although the area around Shannan is still the territory of the Southern Dynasties, Xiao Su seems to be too careful."

Xiao Yanran lowered her head and picked up the dough block, and said with a sullen smile: "People are reluctant to work hard to find the prince if they lose it." It is not like the Southern Dynasty, although it is a pity to lose a general, it will not always be a turbulent pattern. ”

Xiao Su was really making some small calculations. Alas......"

Xiao Yanran heard Yelu Hong's sudden sigh, raised her head suspiciously, and saw the four copper coins on the table.

"That's all there is left," Yelu Hongyu's expression was very embarrassed, since he was born, he had seen conquest and killing, he had seen intrigues, but he had never seen such a stretched situation.

"I have a sister who once said," Xiao Yanran couldn't help but sigh, "People should always have some ability to settle down, and those things with the emperor can't be exchanged for food at critical times, and now I know that what I said is true." ”

Yelu Hongyu was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "Can you have someone with this sister?" ”

Xiao Yanran almost didn't choke on the noodle soup, and hurriedly replied: "At the beginning of the year, I was married to Ruyi Langjun, and Brother Laoye was bothered." ”

The two men under their command sighed again at the four copper coins.

Early in the morning, a horse team left Xijing with the silk sold by the Southern Dynasty and walked to the north, and the merchant who led the team rode on his horse and looked back at his caravan with satisfaction, especially the two guys who were newly collected, one did not speak and just buried himself in work, the other was clever, and he could settle accounts, and the wages he asked for were low, which was really cost-effective.

"Gida, get the oil ready! If you get wet, you won't be able to buy it," the man in charge saw the boss looking this way, and hurriedly shouted.

The tall new fellow followed the car and tugged hard at the linoleum full of snowdrops, and shook his face with snow and dust. The other guys laughed at him, but he was still expressionless, patting the snow on his body and walking forward. Not far away, the Han man who came with him glanced in this direction, and a complicated expression flashed on his face, not knowing whether it was approval or worry.

After walking for a while, the wind and snow suddenly became heavier, and the snow piled up on the road did not reach the calves, and when encountering a larger snowdrift, it took several men to push the car over.

"You! Use some force! Not full? The steward shouted impatiently, intentionally or unintentionally, pointing a whip at a few Han people.

"Bah, Xiao Wu, don't bother with him," Wang Fugui kicked the snow under his feet and whispered to the newcomer beside him, "It seems that he is not from the south." ”

The man smiled, unconsciously, and shifted his weight to the left.

Seeing this, Ji Da suddenly came over and stood to his right, bowing his head and pushing the cart hard.

"I won't accept your favor," Xiao Wu whispered.

"But I take your kindness."

"You and I have our own plans, so why be polite, just give me back that."

The cart flipped over the snowdrift, and the horse strained and ran a few paces forward, leaving the cart behind. Yeluhong took advantage of this moment, took out a cloth bag from his arms and handed it to Xiao Yanran, Xiao Yanran took out the things inside, and quickly stuffed them into the boots.

"Stop! Stop it! The person in front shouted in Khitan.

"Something's wrong."

"You don't know, huh?" A group of people came over and pretended to be mysterious and lowered their voices and said, "Isn't there a legend that the prince has been lost?" Definitely looking this up. ”

Wang Fugui laughed and said, "Prince? Check it out to our bunch of people? your fart. ”

Sure enough, a few Liao soldiers held portraits, grabbed the guys, and compared them one by one.

"Xiao Su's soldiers," Yelu Hongyu whispered, staring at the waist cards of the soldiers.

"Do you know anyone?"

The answer was to shake his head, "It depends on your luck." ”

He smiled and said, "Look at the artist's craft." ”

Perhaps the painter was suffering from the fact that Yelu Hongyu did not have such an easily expressive characteristic as moles or scars, and the soldiers turned around and let the caravan pass.

After walking for about an hour, the road became rougher, and suddenly a group of cavalry shouted and chased after them.

"What are you doing?" The team leader muttered, "Today is really unlucky, and I don't know what day the yellow calendar is." He greeted him with a smile.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have checked it before, my caravan is a serious business, you see, ......"

The captain didn't look at him, walked straight to the tall guy he had newly recruited, and knelt down with his right hand clasped on his chest: "Your Highness, your subordinates are late for escort, please punish His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Yelu Hongyu recognized that this was the guard in Xiao Su's army, and he did recognize himself, so he had to say coldly: "Get up." ”

Everyone in the caravan was dumbfounded, and the leader rushed over and knelt on the ground and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince spares his life, the villain has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai...... Villain ......"

"Okay, this prince is just borrowing your convenience," Yelu Hongyu waved his hand and said, "You guys go, don't publicize this matter to the outside world, otherwise it will ......"

"Small enough to know, small enough to know! The prince has spoken, don't leave quickly! He got up and kicked Wang Fugui, who was still in a daze.

"Let's go," said Jeruhom, taking the reins from the cavalry.

"Please wait a little longer," said the captain of the guard, waving his hand, "and don't leave any of them behind." ”

Jian Yuhao mercilessly threw himself at the back of the caravan, and before the merchants and the men could even turn back, they had already fallen to the ground screaming, becoming a cold corpse.

"You are so bold!"

"Your Highness, this is what Lord Xiao ordered, and the villain is just following orders."

Yelu Hongyu knew that it was useless to talk to him, so he had to suppress his anger and search among the corpses with anxious eyes.

"Report, I didn't find it," the soldier who came forward to search for the body trotted to the captain's side and whispered back.

The captain glanced at Yelu Hongyu, bowed his head respectfully and said, "Please get on the horse, Your Highness." Then he whispered to the soldiers, "Take away the valuables, and make them look like robbery." ”

Yeluhun got on his horse, deliberately loosened the reins and walked slowly, and with the corner of his eye, he found that the knight beside him hung his bow in front of the saddle, and did not put it away, and he could not help but feel a chill in his heart.

Strangely, the cavalry captain did not urge, but silently followed him to the left and behind. About a mile out, about to go down the mountain, a group of boulders lined up on the road, Yelu Hongpardon jumped out of the corner of his eye, under the leg instinctively slammed the horse's belly, the horse jumped out, the ear "bang", can avoid the long knife under the split.

Turning around, a dozen glittering arrows were facing him.

"Xiao Su old thief, can't you wait to start," Yelu Hongyu suppressed the fierce heartbeat, sneered and pulled out the knife he carried with him, intending to fight to the death.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, I'm sorry," the captain raised his long knife, but suddenly turned around and slashed down the knights holding bows on the left and right, and shouted loudly, "Your Highness, go quickly!" Xiao Su's old thief wants to ......"

Two knives plunged into his body, but more people threw down their bows and arrows and drew their swords, shouting: "Protect Your Highness!" He turned his horse's head and rushed to his colleagues.

This sudden change made Yelu Hongyu stunned for a moment, and then the horse was not like a giant stonehenge, the feathered arrows were whistling past his ears, and the sound of hurried horses' hooves chased after him.

Suddenly there was a whistle from the stone formation, and a familiar gray figure waved his hand and disappeared behind the stone.

Yeluhong's heart was crossed, and he ran in that direction.

On the ground, that's ...... The horses galloped by, and there seemed to be nothing in the snow? Before he had time to think about it, there was a series of neighings, and the horses fell to the ground.

The man flew forward, snatched the knight's long knife, and slashed it mercilessly, and the snow was suddenly bright red.

Jeluhom turned around, took the knife he had thrown, and sped away the last two unyielding knights. Only then did I see that in the snow was a rope made of fine silk.

Hastily picked up a horse with no ankle injury, and the two rode to the northeast. "When did you hide here?" Yelu Hongyu couldn't help but ask.

Xiao Yanran said: "I just thought that the eyes of the few soldiers at that level just now were wrong, and when they were resting here just now, they didn't leave with something." ”

"Oh," replied Yeluhom coldly.

Circumventing the mountain and galloping along the riverbank, Xiao Yanran stopped and looked around: "It seems to get rid of them." ”

"Really?" Yelu Hongyu wiped the blood on the knife, snorted coldly, and swung the knife at Xiao Yanran.

Xiao Yanran blocked it with a knife and said in a deep voice: "What are you doing!" ”

"Are you stupid to me! The terrain here is complicated, and even if you are an immortal, it is impossible to calculate that they will attack there. These people were sent by you. ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thinks so?" Xiao Yanran smiled noncommittally.

"Do you think you can beat me with your left hand," Yelu Hongyu saw Xiao Yanran holding a knife in his left hand, raised his chin angrily, and swung the knife with all his might.

Xiao Yanran used her left hand to resist Yelu Hongyu's fierce attack, and she couldn't help but feel a little struggling, but she still said unhurriedly: "Actually, I want to kill you, just don't make a move." ”

With a bang, the long knife grazed Xiao Yanran's sideburns and was nailed into the rock crack, and Yelu Hongyu stared fiercely at the opponent who was forced to retreat from the mountain wall: "You don't kill me because you want more." ”

"Yes."

"Then shouldn't you explain what the hell just happened?"

"Since you can know that I pretended to be a guard and infiltrated your camp, why bother asking me why I know where Xiao Su is going to do it?"

Yelu Hongyu took a deep breath and pulled out the knife: "You gambled big, do you really think you can get the result you want?" ”

Xiao Yanran said with a smile: "Then it depends on whether His Highness is willing to accept my conditions." ”

On the mountain, a woman looked at the figures of the two people below the mountain, then turned and disappeared into the rocks. (To be continued.) (To be continued.) )
