Chapter 179: Khitan Envoy

In 951 AD, when Guo Wei destroyed the Later Han Dynasty and established the Later Zhou Dynasty, Liu Chong, the uncle of the Later Han Emperor Liu Chengyou, established the Northern Han Dynasty with the support of the Khitan, with the capital of Taiyuan.

Northern Han, Taiyuan Province.

Liu Chong, the emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty, was discussing the Southern Expedition with his Privy Council envoy Zhang Yuanhui and the defense commander Liu Jiye, Zhang Yuanhui said: "Your Majesty, now that the Tang State has just destroyed the Chu State, and the Central Plains is eyeing the Central Plains, as long as we send troops to attack the Zhou State now and form a confrontation situation with it, the Tang State will definitely send troops to attack and the Zhou State will die." ”

Liu Chong was still a little afraid of Guo Wei and asked, "What does Liu Qing think?" ”

Liu Jiye said in a deep voice: "The State of Zhou has just been established now, and its momentum is the highest, Guo Wei is good at using troops, so it is not appropriate to attack at this time." ”

Zhang Yuanhui said hurriedly: "If you don't fight at this time, you won't have a chance in the future!" ”

After all, Liu Chong trusted Zhang Yuanhui more, and said: "Then why don't you send an envoy to invite the Khitan to send troops together?" ”

Zhang Yuanhui was a little reluctant in his heart, but he knew that if he didn't invite the Khitan to send troops together, His Majesty would definitely not dare to use troops, so he had to agree: "That's fine." ”

At that time, the Khitan emperor's surname was Yelu, the Han name was Ruan, and the honorific title was Liao Shizong, who was the third Khitan emperor.

He was an emperor who was very tolerant of Han culture, and adopted a system of division between the north and the south, and the officials of the Northern Dynasty were only allowed to be Khitans, but the Southern Dynasty, where the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun was located, allowed Han people to be officials.

Yelu Ruan succeeded to the throne for more than three years, and in the first few years due to the instability of the imperial power, he has been unable to take care of the south.

After meeting with the envoys of the Northern Han Dynasty, he summoned his subordinate minister "Tiyin" Yeluwuzhi in his imperial study to discuss with Yeluwa, the king of the Northern Courtyard.

Liao Shizong asked: "The emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty asked me to attack the Zhou State together, what do you think?" ”

Yeluwu said: "Khan, I heard that the emperor of the Zhou State, Guo Wei, is brave and good at fighting, his soldiers are strong, and the people are attached, so it is difficult to defeat easily. ”

Yeluwa said with a smile: "I have more than 500,000 iron horsemen in Daliao, who in the world can stop it, now that the country's civil strife has subsided, it is a good time to go south." ”

Liao Shizong pondered for a long time and said: "In this way, send an envoy to the Tang State, and make an appointment to work with the emperor of the Tang State, and then everyone will divide the land equally." On the other hand, from Wu Zhi to serve as the king of the Southern Courtyard, he could appoint more Han officials, repair government affairs internally, expand armaments externally, and prepare for sending troops. ”

Now the Tang State is extremely powerful, and even the Khitans dare not ignore it.

The two of them were ordered to say yes, so a team of Khitan envoys secretly went to Jinling.

……

The days of practice always pass very quickly, and in a blink of an eye, two months have passed.

On July 18 of the eighth year of Baoda, this was a memorable day for Lu Yuan, because his Zhou Tian Qiankun mental method finally broke through the first layer and became a third-rate master.

During this time, Su Liuying came a few times and told him about some qi ng conditions outside, but for some reason, since Lan Liuyi left, Jinling City has become very calm.

Just when Lu Yuan was meditating, there was a sound of the stone door opening outside the door, Lu Yuan looked at Li Ruozhen, since she didn't open her mouth to remind, then it was either Ah Lu or Su Liuying.

Sure enough, after a while, Su Liuying's figure appeared around the corner, she always had a smile on her face recently, and walked quickly to the door of Lu Yuan's cell, she smiled: "Lu Yuan, guess what happened outside today?" ”

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "I don't know." ”

Su Liuying said with a pretentious matter: "I heard that a person named Ah He is going to challenge the Great Grandmaster Eagle King in Songshan Shaomu Mountain, aren't you a third-rate martial arts master shocked!" ”

Xuan Fei and Hua Jiluo both showed surprised looks on their faces, and Hua Jiluo smiled and said, "Miss Su, you're talking about Nestorian Sect Leader Aroben challenging the Eagle Emperor, it's really exciting, but it's a pity that we can't see it." ”

He has always had a good attitude towards the female Xi NG, but it's a pity that Su Liuying knows his identity as an adulterer, so he ignores him.

Lu Yuan frowned and said, "When is it?" ”

He vaguely felt that something was a coincidence, and he was about to flee Jinling, and he didn't want any accidents to happen.

Su Liuying said with a smile: "The fourth day of the eighth month is Li Jing's fortieth birthday. She now completely regarded herself as a person from Hui'an Mansion, and she was unceremoniously addressed by her name to the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Isn't this going for Li Jing? Lu Yuanqi said: "Is there any movement in the imperial court?" ”

Su Liuying poked her cheek with her finger and said, "No, there seem to be more soldiers on the street, and the city gate seems to be stricter." ”

Isn't that just movement? Lu Yuan was a little speechless, he was thinking about the purpose of Jingjiao's doing, and suddenly heard Li Ruozhen speak: "Lu Yuan, this is a good thing, it is more convenient to act if Qi Heng is not there." ”

Lu Yuan nodded: "That's right, let Li Jing bother about this matter." ”

After a pause, he asked again, "Hasn't King Qi been looking for you recently?" ”

Su Liuying smiled: "Yes, he seems to be avoiding me, but it's okay like this, I don't need him anyway." ”

"Are you ......?"

"I've dug through, I've dug through!" A shout full of surprise suddenly came from the cell next to Lu Yuan, interrupting his words.

After a while, Xuankong came out from under the straw and said ecstatically: "I dug through the tunnel!" ”

Xuan Fei frowned and said, "What are you shouting underground, aren't you afraid of being heard by the people above?" ”

Xuankong didn't bother to pay attention to him, and said happily: "Lord Lu, when are we leaving?" ”

Qian Wanqian said excitedly: "Why don't you leave now!" ”

Lu Yuan shook his head and behaved very calmly: "Don't be in a hurry for this moment, we will leave on the fourth day of August!" ”

Qian Wanqian scratched his head and said with a smile: "It's me who is too anxious." ”

Xuanfei asked, "Xuankong, where does the secret passage you dig lead?" ”

Xuankong glanced at him and said, "Lord Lu, do you want to tell him?" ”

Lu Yuan nodded and said, "Everyone is in trouble together, and we will also flee together when the time comes, let's say it." ”

Xuankong then said: "The heavenly prison is the closest to the north city gate, so I dug to the north of the city, and the exit is about a thousand meters outside the north gate. ”

Lu Yuan pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Ying'er, you now immediately tell Miss Cao the time of escape and the location of the secret passage, and let her make a retreat plan and a rescue plan for the Qian Mansion, no need to come here again, if there is any change, send a message to contact." ”

"I made a note of it." Su Liuying nodded and turned to leave, walked a few steps and turned around, and said with a solemn face: "Lu Yuan, you have to be careful." ”

Lu Yuan felt that this table was a little unsuitable for her, and said with a smile: "I will." ”

As soon as Su Liuying left, the flowers fell and said hurriedly: "Brother Lu, you can quickly get through our cell, and by the way, you can also ask Miss Li to poison me and Brother Xuan." ”

Qian Wanqian said coldly: "You are not our person, you will be content to save your life, why do you want to force you to poison, everyone will part ways after you go out." He still had some doubts about Hua Jiluo and Xuanfei in his heart.

Hua Jiluo ignored him, stared at Lu Yuan and said: "Brother Lu, maybe there will be a fierce battle after you go out, don't worry, you saved me this time, and in return, I will escort you to Hui'an Mansion!" ”

"I don't need your escort." Li Ruozhen spoke.

Xuan Fei was furious: "Miss Li, you are too unqualified, Brother Hua and I came in to accompany you, but you are not even willing to help us detoxify." ”

Li Ruozhen frowned, she just said that she didn't need them to escort her, and she didn't say that she wouldn't force the two of them to poison, but with her Xi NG personality, she naturally wouldn't explain.

Lu Yuan understood her better, and explained with a smile: "She didn't say that she wouldn't help you force drugs, you blame her." ”

Xuan Fei said coldly: "Lord Lu, although I have liked Miss Li, but it has not reached the point of Brother Hua, you don't have to say good things for her, after these few months of life in the secret prison, I have completely died to her." ”

Lu Yuan sighed, looked at Li Ruozhen, and found that although she looked very calm, she kept blinking, and it seemed that she was also a little touched by Xuan Fei's words.

……

Riding back to Su Mansion in a carriage, Su Liuying did not notice that she had been followed.

As he walked through a narrow street with few pedestrians, a man wearing a hood swept towards the carriage like electricity, when suddenly he felt a sound of breaking the air from his side, and forcibly deflected his body to avoid the sneak attack.

When the man landed, he saw a man in a white robe in front of the carriage, and the carriage did not notice what was happening and continued to move forward.

The man in the hood said slowly, "Who are you?" ”

The round-robed man said solemnly: "I am Jin Yuanwu, the commander of the guards of the Qi Palace, who are you?" ”
