That day, Tong Guan and Xin Xingzong escaped from the thief's den who intended to poison him, and hurried desperately in the dark, and at dawn, the two found that they had lost their way among the mountains, and they had been going around in the deep mountains and old forests for more than ten days, and they had also encountered the footprints of fierce beasts, and had to take a detour. The fruit and millet stolen from the old farmer's house had already been eaten, because he was not accustomed to raw food, he almost collapsed in the first two days, and then he could not eat enough, and he could not pull it, so he barely fed on mountain spring water and wild fruits, and went all the way over the mountains and mountains, and finally came to the edge of the old forest of the mountain range, and saw in the distance a mountain basin with farmland and cooking smoke.

"Child, there is a village ahead!" Xin Xingzong pointed to the houses of different heights in the basin, and almost burst into tears.

"Let's go, go over and have a look." Tong Guan limped with Xin Xingzong towards the village with a crutch made of thick branches. This time he made up his mind that he would never reveal his identity, even if others scolded the child thief in front of him, he would stomp his feet and scold twice, and then spit on a mouthful, as long as there was a stutter.

The peasants working in the fields straightened up and watched them silently.

"Hey—" Xin Xingzong waved his hands happily, and barely squeezed a smile to greet the villagers. But after a few moments, his face stiffened, and his legs trembled.

With the sound of horses' hooves, several horses rushed out of the village, all bearded and bearded, and wore leather robes on the left.

"Khitans!" Xin Xingzong thought desperately that he had been walking in the mountains for more than ten days, and he had inadvertently broken into the territory of the Liao State.

Five Khitans rode on horses, condescending, and slowly walked around Tong Guan and Xin Xingzong, looking at these two uninvited guests vigilantly. They were talking to each other in Khitan language. These Khitan people can actually understand and speak Chinese, but they are only willing to speak Khitan to each other. A moment later, one by one, the bows and arrows were aimed at the two of them. At this time, the surrounding serfs did not dare to watch, and honestly bent down to work.

The horses kept snorting heavily, and they were staggered by five bows and arrows, Tong Guan was almost terrified, and shouted loudly: "Don't kill me, I am Tong Guan deployed in the Hebei camp of the Great Song Dynasty!" ”

Hearing Tong Guan's shout, the leader of the Khitan people was overjoyed and shouted, and the other few people were already preparing to shoot the two Southern Dynasties with bows, but they couldn't control the momentum at the moment, so they could only put the arrows away, only to hear a few snaps, and four or five long arrows grazed Tong Guan and Xin Xingzong's clothes and shot into the ground under their feet. Tong Guan was almost shocked to death, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, only to feel two trembling streams, his back was soaked with cold sweat, and his crotch was also soaked, and the sound of ticking.

At the beginning, Tong Guan violently moved the Hebei camp from the Daimyo's Mansion to Hejian, which really made the Khitans in the border military state commotion for a while. These Khitan people thought about it, and even if they were pretending to be a character, they escorted the two of them to Gaoyang Pass.

Yelu Dashi looked coldly at the two people tied up in the hall, he couldn't believe that the Song State Tong Shuai, who had once supervised an army of 100,000, was tied up in such a dejected manner.

Several rude Khitan officers were staring at each other, as if they were about to swallow their lives. Tong Guan didn't feel depressed, and the original idea of supporting the scene for this dynasty suddenly dissipated, and only said to the Liao State official who seemed to be more gentle: "This official is indeed the Great Song Dynasty Hebei camp deployed Tong Guan, and mistakenly entered your country, I hope that the adults will see the agreement between the two countries to return the fugitive, and return the official gift to the court, and the official will be grateful!" ”

"Oh?" Yelu Dashi's eyes flashed slightly, "You are indeed Tong Guan, I heard that you are very talented." ”

Tong Guan's old face was slightly red, but he didn't expect that his reputation for being able had spread to the Liao Kingdom. At this moment, a scroll of papers was thrown in front of him.

"This insulting document of my Da Liao monarch and minister, you instructed your subordinates to write it, and it is full of literary feelings, and it is really worthy of the walking father-in-law in the imperial study." Yelu Dashi said lightly, "At that time, I said to Marshal Xiao, catch this evil man, either divide the body of the five horses, or light the sky lantern." Adult, what do you say? ”

"This, my lord," Tong Guan's face turned pale, "This is none of the business." It is clearly Zhao Xingde's Confucian student, no, it was Wang Yan who framed the official, and before this military book was sent, the official didn't look at it. ”

"Oh?" Yelu Dashi played with the taste, "At that time, I saw a big seal with Tong Guan, since you haven't read the military book, it means that you are not Tong Guan, but a fake." He has already seen the clues from Tong Guan's unique voice and sparse beard, but if his identity is confirmed, he must hand Tong Guan over to Xiao Dabu to deal with, maybe kill him with a knife. And leaving Tong Guan is a chip and chess piece in his hand.

"Me, am I impostoring?" Tong Guan couldn't help but be a little confused, I don't know why this minister of Liao State said this, his mind was extremely fast, and he immediately thought that this person might be trying to help him get out of trouble, and immediately said loudly: "Lord Mingjian, Xia Guan is indeed Tong Guan who is pretending to be for his life." ”

Unexpectedly, this great Song Dynasty Hebei camp was deployed, and he was dressed so quickly that he didn't even recognize his identity, Yelu Dashi couldn't help but laugh secretly, and muttered: "At the moment when the Liao and Song Dynasty are fighting, if it is a nameless junior, it will be cut with a knife." But," he paused, staring at Tong Guan and said slowly, "If it's useful to this official, you can keep it, anyway, it's just to consume some food." Tell me, what can you do? ”

"I," Tong Guan's eyes rolled slightly, he knew that when this speech came out, he was afraid that it would be difficult to get out, and he was muttering undecided, when he suddenly heard the senior official of the Liao State above say angrily: "Since it is useless, drag it down and cut it." The three or four Khitan officers around roared together in response, and stepped forward to drag Tong Guan and Xin Xingzong out of the tent.

Tong Guan suddenly shouted: "Useful, useful." He knew that as soon as he got out of this Chinese military tent, it was Huangquan Road, and he yelled and struggled desperately.

Yelu Dashi's face softened slightly, raised his hand to let a few Khitan officers pause, and shouted in a deep voice: "I listen, say, what's the use of you?" ”

Tong Guan's face was pale, and he didn't care about anything else at this time, and said in a loud voice: "The lower officials are familiar with the situation of the armies and warehouses in Hebei, and the conduct and temperament of all the generals and officers are clear to the lower officials. ”

Yelu Dashi frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "I'll just send a scout horse and a detailed investigation of this." Then he waved his hand and asked his men to drag him out.

Tong Guan hurriedly said: "Not only Hebei, but also the domestic situation in the Great Song Dynasty, the movements of the ministers of the DPRK and China, the deployment of troops, and the amount of taxes paid in various places, the officials are all clear. ”

Yelu Dashi smiled slightly: "I have also sent an envoy to Bianjing, and I also know a thing or two about these situations, do you only have such a little use?" ”

Step by step, at this time, Tong Guan couldn't turn back, and said with a heart: "This official has a wide range of friends in the Great Song Dynasty, many officials are the only ones who look forward to me, and many others also have handles in the hands of this official, if the adult can use it, the official is willing to serve the adult." ”

"Hahaha," Yelu Dashi laughed loudly, waved his hand and ordered his subordinates to loosen the ties for Tong Guan, and brought him a scimitar.

Seeing that Tong Guan was holding a steel knife and was not clear, Yelu Dashi said leisurely: "You Southern Dynasty people's so-called name petition, Master Tong won't understand, right?" His eyes looked at Xin Xingzong, Xin Xingzong was suddenly frightened, looked at Tong Guan pitifully, and pleaded: "Master Tong, for the sake of the subordinate officials who are born and killed to protect you......"

Yelu Dashi seemed to take care of himself and said, "Only the dead can keep the secret." ”

When Tong Guan heard this, his heart shrank, and he said in a deep voice: "Xingzong, I know that you still have a family in Bianjing, today I am forced to do so, and you have no queen, your family, the court will have a pension." ”

He carried the bright scimitar and slowly walked to Xin Xingzong, who was tied up with five flowers, Xin Xingzong desperately twisted around on the ground to dodge, and shouted loudly, "Lord Tong spare your life." Finally, he caught up with him one step at a time, wiped a knife on his neck, and the blood fluttered, splashing all over his body. Seeing that Xin Xingzong had already lost his breath, he turned around and smiled at Yelu Dashi: "Fortunately, I don't disgrace my life." ”

Yelu Dashi saw that he was extremely cowardly at the beginning, but he was so decisive in killing others, and he couldn't help but be slightly surprised, and secretly said that this person was able to soar in the Song Dynasty, and it was not fortunate that he couldn't underestimate him, don't raise snakes, but be bitten by snakes. After a moment of silence, he waved his hand and asked the soldiers to find a room to guard, strictly prohibiting others from approaching, and letting Tong Guan go down to rest.

The general in the middle of the tent, Yelu Tiege, doubted: "My lord, although this Tong Guan is in a high position and power in the Southern Dynasty, he is known as a traitor, why did he spare his life?" It's better to kill it with a knife. ”

Yelu Dashi smiled slightly: "The traitorous minister of the Southern Dynasty may be my Khitan capable minister." ”

Yelu Tiege said indignantly: "Poisonous snakes will bite people wherever they are. ”

"It was in the Southern Dynasty, and he was still a person." Yelu Dashi shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Daliao is the country of our Khitans, he is just a slave and a lackey, you can reach out and pinch him to death, this poisonous snake in a cage will only bite our enemies." ”

After saying that, he turned around to look at the huge topographic map of mountains and rivers, in the south of the Liao Kingdom, the Great Song Dynasty was vast, and there were endless slaves and wealth everywhere. Bianjing is like a pearl overflowing with treasure, placed in the center of the Great Song Dynasty. Thinking of the bustling crowds he saw when he went to Bianjing, he felt a little fascinated by Yelu Dashi, who said that he admired Chinese culture.
