Chapter 567: The vigil is undercurrent
Someone started, how could the rest of the people not understand the reason, Cai Boyu meant to let them take out the money and invest in Xijin Mansion, Cai Boyu was just a lobbyist for the official family!
Cai Boyu looked at everyone and said all kinds of opinions one by one, and was speechless in surprise, sure enough, as the official said, these businessmen can play a considerable role in the construction of Xijin Mansion, and even play a greater role than the imperial court, originally he didn't believe it, but now Cai Boyu believes it, and secretly mutters to himself: The official family is honest and does not deceive me!
…………
In the dark night, on the edge of the city wall under the shadows, this place is completely different from the bustle of Xijin Mansion, a man in a typical Han short-shirt costume squatted under the corner of the wall, only a bean-like oil lamp flickered in the wind, like a ghost fire, which made people feel creepy......
A cold wind blew, the black shadow tightened the cotton clothes on his body, and tried hard to cover the oil lamp with his hand so that it would not go out in the wind, this was his only heating tool and his signal to contact others, he had been waiting here for a long time, standing up and squatting for a while, surrounded by a peculiar smell of urine under the roots of the wall, which made a person of noble birth unable to bear it.
But at this time, he had no choice, all the places were patrolled by the forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty, especially at night when the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty had to keep vigil with the people, the Song people were naturally well guarded, only under the high city wall was the safest place, the forbidden army on the city wall would not pay attention to the feet, and the forbidden army in the city would not pay attention to the seemingly heavily guarded city wall, this is what the Han people often say to wait for the dark!
Yelu Tufting raised his head slightly, the palace that originally belonged to Da Liao is now occupied by a Han Son of Heaven, Son of Heaven? Fart! Auspicious sign? Joke! Who can say that the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty was the Son of Heaven? Is it because of the so-called auspiciousness? Who knows if the news from the Great Song Dynasty is true or false? Even the Great Song merchant Jia who was bought by the clan swore and patted his chest to promise that he didn't believe it!
The cheers from the direction of the palace came like waves, but this sound was unusually harsh in Yelu's ears, clenching his fists tightly, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty also deserves to live in the palace built by Da Liao! This is simply an insult to the Liao people! The flames of anger burned in his heart, and his whole body became hot.
As the appointed time drew closer and closer, Yelu's heart began to grow colder, didn't anyone believe his words? No way!
Click...... The sound of a branch breaking, and Yelu Tuft scurried like a rabbit to the low fence and whispered, "Who?!" ”
"Is it tufting? I am the eldest son of the Awuti family, Xinran! The black shadow said his name defenselessly, which made Yelu Tuft breathe a sigh of relief but was annoyed in his heart, and walked over briskly to light the oil lamp again and put it on the tall tree branch, "Who told you to say your name?" Say it with one mouth, what if it's not me, but the Song people? Isn't it putting your family in danger?! ”
Xinran nodded and said, "Got it...... Eldest brother! He looked around and saw that only one of them, Jeru, and asked worriedly, "Is there anyone else?" It's not just us, is it? It's just the two of us...... No matter how brave you and I are, we can't do it! ”
Yelu Tuft gritted his teeth and said: "No, I don't believe it's just the two of us, after all, this matter is very important, if they don't support me, I can't do anything, sooner or later, the Song people will wipe out our Khitans one day!" ”
Xinran said suspiciously: "But I see that the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty doesn't seem to have killed all my Khitans!" Not to mention that it is all killed, even one who has been wronged has not done anything, since the Song army entered the city, it has not done anything to us! As long as you are registered in the Great Song Dynasty, you will be fine......"
Jeruft sneered, "Have you ever seen a herdsman slaughtering a newborn lamb?" We are the group of lambs raised in captivity by the Great Song Dynasty, and when we are covered in meat, even the wool and meat will be cleaned up by the Song people! ”
Although Yelu's words are alarmist, they seem to be really like this in the ears of the Khitan people, and the appalling remarks often make people unconsciously accept, Xinran frowned and thought for a long time and said: "If it is really as you said, the intentions of the Song people are really sinister, and I don't know if others can see it......"
As if in response to his words, black shadows appeared in the darkness one after another, and they were all dressed in Han Chinese costumes and covered their hair with hats, so that they would never be noticed in the crowd.
Yelu Tuft's demagogic words have been supported by most people, after all, they are losers, and not everyone can easily let go of the glory and loftiness of the past, and some people have unrealistic fantasies and plan to fight to the death, if they can succeed, even if they die, they can be born for a good family and children.
They believed that the emperor would definitely give them a decent identity and give their family a decent place!
People are selfish animals, and at this time they think more about their own future, and the future of Da Liao ...... I'm sorry, I don't have time, people don't kill for themselves, and Jelu Tufting takes advantage of this.
The Khitan people are aggressive and hot-blooded, and they are born with a spirit of resistance buried in their bodies, and their personalities are naturally impulsive, and they soon become a group of screaming aggressive beasts after being instigated by others.
There is no Khitan family that does not have weapons, all kinds of short knives and short swords are distributed, and short bows and arrows are no longer a problem, this is a good thing for assassination, as long as you can get close to the Great Song Emperor, you will definitely take his life!
Xijin Mansion is still so lively, the Khitan people quickly blended into the crowd, all kinds of short-handled blades were hidden, only waiting for the Great Song Emperor to appear at noon, and Yelu Tufting was no longer among these people, he tangled another group of people to come to a dry well not very far from the palace, this is the key to tonight's plan and the backhand, those Khitan warriors are designed to cover the ears and eyes of the Song people, including the Xinran who grew up with him since childhood, at least there must be a reliable person to command them.
Zhang Jian, the prime minister of Zuo, has been able to come to the news, and gave a secret way to enter the palace of Xijin Mansion, and the rest is to take the life of the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty.
The dry well is very deep and deep, but when it reaches the bottom of the well, there is no imaginary smell of decay, but it is quite dry, this is the secret passage for the Liao people to enter and exit the palace, because of the unstable political situation, the Liao Dynasty often usurped the throne in the early stage of the founding of the country, and the Liao Emperor will naturally leave a hand for himself, and this secret passage is obviously one of the back hands.
When Yelu Tufting and his soldiers arrived at the bottom of the well, Xinran and others also successfully blended into the crowd, but it was a pity that the officials of the Great Song Dynasty did not go down the city tower, but stood on the wall of the palace and watched the people below.
