Chapter 242: Liao Shengzong

Sure enough, at the critical moment, it was the little emperor of Liao, Liao Shengzong Yelu Longxu, who opened his bow and released arrows to save him.

A group of palace tent troops with golden feathers on their hats and helmets roared over, instantly surrounding and suppressing the Liao soldiers kneeling on the ground, and clearing a passage for the Liao Holy Sect. Yelu Longxu handed over the golden-skinned iron-tire bow to the guards, and then rode slowly and calmly came to Zhao Liang. His face was cold, but his tone was very gentle: "Lin'an Hou, I just frightened you, I apologize to you on behalf of the Liao army." ”

The emperor apologized personally, is this worth it? Not to mention that Zhao Liang himself was taken aback, the surrounding Khitan soldiers and horses were also taken aback, and they all looked at the Liao Shengzong on horseback at a loss.

I only heard Liao Shengzong continue: "The Han people have always thought that my Great Liao is a wild land, vulgar and uneducated, and does not understand etiquette. As everyone knows, we have been in the north for decades, and we also advocate the weathering of the Central Plains, and we are always studying hard everywhere. What to learn? Learning to write, to read, to learn the law, to govern the country, to learn agriculture and industry, as long as it is civilized, we are willing to learn. And this also includes the rules of learning rules, the rules of going up and down, and prohibiting them. ”

His words were not only like talking to himself, but also like saying to Zhao Liang, and more like saying to his subordinates.

The Khitan warrior who was led just now was swept by his gaze, and suddenly shuddered, and hurriedly lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty taught you that the villain is guilty." As he spoke, he suddenly raised the scimitar in his hand and was about to wipe his neck on the spot. As if he had already guessed that the other party would be like this, Liao Shengzong said lightly: "Stop." ”

These two words were not loud, but they were like thunder, and the Liao soldier stopped his movements.

I only heard Liao Shengzong continue: "I can understand that you are avenging the Lord, but it is also unforgivable to rush into the guards and attack the envoys. However, as I just said, rules are rules, and your sins will not go to death, so go to the War Supervisor to receive punishment. ”

When the soldiers heard this, they hurriedly thanked them in unison, and then stood up one after another and left slowly in a neat line.

After the soldiers were gone, Liao Shengzong turned over and dismounted, walked to Zhao Liang, and said with a smile: "Lin'an Hou, let you be wronged, hurry up and bandage it." ”

Zhao Liang looked at the wound on his shoulder, then at the three companions covered in blood, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, if you come a little later, I'm afraid you will ......."

Liao Shengzong raised his hand to stop Zhao Liang's words: "The matter has come to this, please don't worry about it anymore." I won't tell you that you and I have fought bloody battles for many years, and the enmity we have forged is like mountains and seas, and if our generals fall into the hands of your army, I am afraid there will be no good fruit to eat. You should feel lucky, after all, King Xiao Tart-rin is our Khitan god of war. ”

Zhao Liang was speechless by what he said, so he had to nod stupidly, and said in a slower tone: "I want to thank Your Majesty for coming to the rescue in time." ”

"Xie doesn't have to," Liao Shengzong smiled slightly when he heard this: "Let's deal with the injury as soon as possible." After that, I still want to have a good chat with Lin'anhou. ”

In the small tent, Liao Shengzong and Zhao Liang sat on the ground, tasting the goat's milk on the table and chatting easily.

The two chatted for a while, only to hear Liao Shengzong say: "Lin'an Hou, I have something I want to ask, and I hope you can tell me the truth." ”

"Your Majesty has something to say, please speak." Zhao Liang arched his hand.

Liao Shengzong signaled Zhao Liang not to be so polite, and then asked, "Why did you be kind enough to report the rebels that day?"

, and why would they lie that the emperor of the Song Dynasty intended to negotiate peace? ”

Zhao Liang was slightly stunned when he heard this, scratched his head and said, "Didn't I say it that night, our emperor is indeed ......"

"No, you're lying." Yelu Longxu smiled: "I have a knack for telling the truth or lying when I was a child. That night, I smelled a lie from you. ”

No way! So godly? Could he also read minds? Zhao Liang was startled, and hurriedly used his spiritual sense to probe the other party's reality and reality. He found that the Liao Holy Sect did not have any techniques similar to the Dafa of Peeping Hearts, but the logical system in his heart was extremely complete. It is precisely by relying on this logic that the little emperor accurately deduced the truth of Zhao Liang's entire words.

I, Nima, it turns out that this little emperor is a master of reasoning. Zhao Liang was relieved, and at the same time couldn't help but secretly admire. In the face of this special situation, he felt that he had to be careful to make up nonsense, otherwise the slightest flaw would be caught again by Yelu Longxu.

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Liang decided to take advantage of the several answer options already in Liao Shengzong's heart, and followed the other party's train of thought and said nonsense: "You are right, I must have lied. However, there is also truth in it. ”

"Oh? I would like to hear about it. ”

"Uh...... Let's start with the news. I'm really worried that Yelujin guy will succeed," Zhao Liang said while probing the other party's bottom: "Although our Great Song Dynasty soldiers have a large number of generals, and the number and scale are more than double that of your army, due to the long-term use of civil and military systems, the combat power of the army is not strong. If it is really replaced by the main battle faction of the Liao State, and the two sides start a fight to the death, although we may not lose, we will always have to pay a heavy price. That's why I decided to come and report the news, not only to let the Lord and faction fight the main battle faction, but also to see if I could exchange the information for Commander Mu. ”

Liao Shengzong didn't know that Zhao Liang was actually telling his own thoughts, so he couldn't help but nodded: "Well, I think the same way, so what about the other question?" What do you think about the armistice peace talks. ”

"This is completely figuring out the Sacred Heart," Zhao Liang continued to pick the thoughts in the heart of the Liao Holy Sect and said: "My Majesty is a peace-loving person, if it weren't for your efforts to go south, he would never have thought of making a big fight." Although I have a good relationship with the Great Song Dynasty's main battle faction, the emperor's thoughts are more important to me in comparison, do you say? ”

"Well, that's reasonable," Liao Shengzong agreed, "As far as I know, the Great Song Emperor is indeed gentle, generous, and benevolent, and by no means a reckless and warlike man. I think he's tired of this war. ”

He paused and said with a smile: "So, in order to save your life, you guys brought out the signboard of the Great Song Emperor?" ”

Zhao Liang smiled embarrassedly: "Hehehe, I really can't hide anything from you." ”

Liao Shengzong nodded with a little satisfaction: "Actually, I should thank you." If it weren't for Lin'anhou's urgency and wisdom, and put forward a move to negotiate peace, I'm afraid our side would not have been able to make up its mind. In that case, I don't know how many Khitan soldiers will die on the battlefield. ”

Zhao Liang knew that the other party's words were sincere, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "History is always so wonderful, in the same period, the emperors on both sides are benevolent monarchs, so that there can be an alliance that benefits a hundred years." ”

"What is the Abyss Alliance?" Yelu Longxu asked curiously.

Zhao Liang was slightly startled, knowing that his spiritual sense was used too violently just now, causing his mind to be dizzy for a while

accidentally said that he was gone, so he hurriedly returned to the circle: "Ah, what, isn't Lanzhou also called Lanyuan County, if we can make an alliance here, it should be called the Lanyuan Alliance." ”

"Oh, I see. The Alliance of the Abyss, well, the name, elegant! Liao Shengzong smiled happily: "Lin'an Hou seems to be very confident in the peace between the two sides, and he even has a name." ”

Zhao Liang waved his hand again and again when he heard this: "No, no, Your Majesty, I am indeed very confident that the two sides will reach an alliance, but this name is definitely not given by me, it must not be remembered as me, it has nothing to do with me!" ”

Rao is Liao Shengzong is extremely smart, but he can't deduce why Zhao Liang is so nervous. He thought about it for a while, didn't dwell too much about it, and said instead: "Lin'anhou, are you an old acquaintance with Mr. Shangguan?" ”

Zhao Liang didn't expect the other party to suddenly ask this question, and he didn't have time to use his mind reading technique, so he replied truthfully: "Eh, yes, the old opponent." ”

Liao Shengzong showed an expression of "as expected" and said, "Then it's no wonder. I just said, that night he accused you of lying and lying about it, but it can still be said that it was for my great liao and he spoke up. But what about today......"

"Today's events?" Zhao Liang reacted: "Could it be that he arranged the attack on us today?" ”

"It's not that he arranged it directly," Liao Shengzong shook his head, "But this matter does have a lot to do with him. Originally, only the ministers of the court knew about your stay here. But this morning, he inadvertently revealed the news to the people in the Southern Courtyard. Knowing that the enemy who killed the lord was in the camp, you said that you are Xiao Tzurin's old department, can you bear it? ”

"Holy! It turned out to be this bastard who made a fool of himself! Zhao Liang slapped the table angrily: "Shangguan Xueming is really ghostly, and the thief's heart is not dead!" ”

Liao Shengzong was obviously not interested in the grievances between them, and continued: "Ever since Shangguan Xueming was named the Zuoban of the Third Class Academy by his mother because of his great achievements in making siege and killing weapons, I have been sending people to keep an eye on him. I didn't expect to get a secret report today, saying that Shangguan and Xiao Tzurin's wolf tooth guard met by chance in the early morning, and mentioned Lin'an Hou in passing. At that time, I felt bad, and immediately led the guards to come. Fortunately, it was timely and did not cause a catastrophe. ”

Zhao Liangqi said: "He deliberately framed me, I can understand it, but there were still many Khitan generals in the king's tent at that time, didn't there be any subordinates or friends of the king of the Southern Courtyard among them?" Why didn't these people tell the Wolf Tooth Guard? ”

"This is also to blame for my negligence," Liao Shengzong sighed, "After the ministers dispersed that night, I specially told the generals and ministers related to Xiao Tzu Rin, asking them to keep your affairs secret for the time being from the perspective of the overall situation of the country. But you were so careful that you missed your old rival, which was unexpected. ”

Zhao Liang nodded in understanding: "Your Majesty, you have bothered, I am really grateful." But after this incident, I don't think anyone will come to us again. In addition, I am also very sorry for the death of King Xiao's father and son......"

Liao Shengzong waved his hand: "Alas, Lin'an Hou doesn't need to say much. I have said that when the two armies are at war, life and death are inevitable, and I think Xiao Tzu Rin has already realized this. After all, it is to sacrifice his life for the country on the battlefield, and it is not an insult to the reputation of the king of the Southern Courtyard. Alas, I hope that we will reach peace talks as soon as possible and that there will be no more bloodshed. ”

Zhao Liang couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and was about to open his mouth to answer, when suddenly, the small black box that had been hidden in his arms actually came from a slight vibration.
