Chapter 1 Flying Disaster
In the scorching summer, the scorching sun is in the sky.
Suddenly, the wind was fierce, and pieces of black clouds rolled from the north to Yiwulu Mountain, covering the sky and the sun, and the day suddenly turned into night, lightning and thunder, heavy rain mixed with hail tilted down, a lightning bolt pierced the sky, a fireball hit a boulder on Wanghai Peak, "boom", the boulder exploded into several pieces, the sound of the sky and the earth cracking echoed in the mountain, and the listeners were all shocked.
In the Xuanzheng Hall of the Liao State in Beijing, the ministers exchanged heads and ears, discussing one after another, and their faces were flustered.
Emperor Tianzuo stretched his waist and staggered to the throne. On this day, Emperor Zuo was in his thirties, hunting all day long, often dealing with political affairs with his temperament, black and white reversed, and he did not know right from wrong.
Emperor Tianzuo saw that the ministers were in a mess and shouted, "What's wrong with you today? Noisy! ”
The ministers quieted down, and Si Tianjian, who was in charge of the celestial phenomena, stepped forward with a frightened face and said: "Your Majesty, three days ago, there was a sudden rainstorm on Wulu Mountain, and lightning struck a boulder on Wanghai Peak, causing a landslide, damaging hundreds of houses, leaving thousands of people homeless, and rumors spreading. ”
Emperor Tianzuo said impatiently: "Just this matter, you still have to panic!" Don't you often tell me that where there is a natural disaster, you can open a warehouse and release grain, and then catch a few corrupt officials by the way, so that the people can be angry and the world is peaceful? ”
Si Tianjian said: "Your Majesty, do you know that there are two sentences engraved in the cracked boulder: the black dragon broke the tower and rushed to the sky, jumping to the top of the mountain with straight feet. ”
Emperor Tianzuo asked, "What do these two sentences mean?" ”
Si Tianjian trembled and said: "This black dragon alludes to the Bohai people, Taizu Ping Bohai came to Fuyu Mansion, saw the Yellow Dragon and the Black Dragon fighting in the sky, Taizu shot down the black dragon with an arrow, changed the Fuyu Mansion to the Yellow Dragon Mansion, and built the Yellow Dragon Tower to suppress the black dragon; The straight word is a real word, alluding to the Jurchens, and Taizu destroyed the Bohai Sea and changed the Jurchen tribe to the female straight clan. These two sentences imply that the Bohai people and the Jurchens are going to rebel, and in addition, the ministers have been observing the sky at night recently, and there are several white qi breaking through the sky above the northeast, which is a bad omen. ”
Emperor Tianzuo was unhappy when he heard this, slapped the throne, and shouted: "Now that the world is peaceful, you are a bunch of nonsense, come and pull him down and cut him down!" ”
Si Tianjian was so frightened that he knelt down and quickly kowtowed, and said, "The emperor spares his life, and forgive the minister." ”
Yelu Longxiang, the king of Qishui County, said: "Your Majesty, this is the will of heaven, don't blame Si Tianjian, the minister is willing to serve as a pacification envoy on the Northeast Road to investigate the people's situation." ”
This Yelu Longxiang has an upright temperament, is dedicated to serving the country, and has just returned from the Northwest Road to quell the rebellion.
Prime Minister Xiao Fengxian heard Yelu Longxiang's words, and his heart was shocked, this northeast road was under the control of his younger brother Xiao Baoxian, where could others intervene, and said: "Your Majesty, this is not the will of heaven, the boulder is erected by the human emperor, it must be that he did not become the emperor and hated Emperor Taizong, so it is not surprising that he hid the poem in the stone and cursed Taizong for a dynasty." ”
Yelu Longxiang has always been dissatisfied with the Xiao brothers' control of the government, and argued: "Xiao Fengxian, don't slander the first king, although the human emperor did not become the emperor, he still loves his motherland deeply, I think these two sentences are to remind our descendants to beware of the rebellion of the Bohai and Jurchen clans, and there is no curse." ”
Xiao Fengxian smiled coldly and said: "Yelu Longxiang, my younger brother Xiao Baoxian has already reported that the people of Bohai and Jurchen live and work in peace and contentment, and no one wants to rebel, I think you are proud of your achievements, and you want to take the opportunity to control the Northeast Road and dominate the government." ”
Yelu Longxiang was so scheming as Xiao Fengxian, he was so angry that his beard stood up, and said: "Xiao Fengxian, you are spewing blood, I was born and died on the battlefield, for the country and the people, and I have no selfishness. You have to take responsibility for the rebellion of the border before you revoked Tuntian Anbian and caused the border rebellion! ”
The ministers didn't dare to offend Xiao Fengxian, didn't dare to squeak, and sweated for Yelu Longxiang.
Xiao Fengxian said: "Tuntian Anbian, the people are working hard and losing money, and everyone can see whether they get in or out." ”
Xiao Fengxian has the grace of nurturing Emperor Tianzuo, and Emperor Tianzuo is naturally obedient, and he is also suspicious of military generals.
Emperor Tianzuo said: "A small rebellion is not enough to worry about, my great Liao is powerful and shocking, and the Quartet surrenders, don't fight!" ”
Yelu Longxiang saw that Emperor Tianzuo favored Xiao Fengxian, and he was angry in his heart, and said: "Your Majesty, Xiao Fengxian said that the ministers are proud of their achievements and dominate the government. ”
Emperor Tianzuo said: "That's okay, save the two of you from arguing around." ”
Emperor Tianzuo clapped his hands, and a group of dancing girls came to the palace to sing and dance, and the palace maids served wine and food to the ministers.
Yelu Longxiang was depressed in his heart, how could he have the heart to watch singing, dancing and drinking wine, he glared at Xiao Fengxian angrily, suddenly stood up, took the wine glass and went straight to Xiao Fengxian, his younger brother Yelu Longyun, the king of Jin, was afraid that he would make trouble and follow closely.
Yelu Longxiang pointed at Xiao Fengxian and said: "Xiao Fengxian, don't be complacent, if you do whatever you want and mislead the country and the people, I won't spare you!" ”
Xiao Fengxian sneered: "Yelu Longxiang, don't resent others if you resign, I am wholeheartedly for the emperor's sake, and there is no fault, you don't need to accuse me!" ”
Yelu Longxiang snorted, drank the wine in the cup, and turned to leave.
Xiao Feng returned to the mansion first, slapped the table, and scolded: "This Yelu Longxiang didn't know who he was after a few victories, and he dared to fight against me!" ”
The housekeeper Ji Cemin said: "Master, why don't you get rid of Yelu Longxiang to prevent future troubles." ”
Xiao Fengxian's eyes showed a fierce light, and he gestured with his hand, and said, "Kill the two brothers together!" ”
In the evening, Yelu Longxiang and Yelu Longyun sat in the courtyard and drank tea.
Yelu Longyun asked, "Big brother, what do you think?" Why don't you resign? ”
Yelu Longxiang replied: "This Xiao Fengxian is cunning and cunning, and his tongue is like a spring, and he actually bites me back, saying that I want to dominate the government, and I am also angry for a while, but I didn't expect the little emperor to be dizzy and agree, so it's okay, resign and relax at home." ”
Yelu Longyun said: "Xiao Fengxian is only used in the court, excluding dissidents, there are few people who can lead the army to fight, and you will be used when there is a war." ”
Yelu Longxiang said: "The little emperor said that he would dismiss me as an official, and if he wants to use me again, he has to carry a sedan chair eight times." ”
Yelu Longxiang took a sip of tea and said, "Tomorrow my sister will leave for the Great Food Country, and I will go to the backyard to see her." ”
Yelu Longyun was drinking tea alone in the courtyard, when suddenly, a black shadow flickered, and two people jumped down from the wall, a man and a woman, masked with black veil, the man's black curly hair, and the woman's yellow hair.
Yelu Longyun immediately stood up and asked, "Who are you?" Why did you break into my house? ”
The masked man asked, "Are you Yelu Longxiang?"
Jerodron replied, "I am his brother Jerodun." ”
The masked man said, "Okay, let you die and understand, we have been entrusted with the lives of both of you!" ”
After speaking, the masked man drew his sword and jumped over and slashed, the sword with a fire cloud pattern, shining red, dazzling.
Yelu Longyun picked up a wooden stick and fought with him, and after a few rounds, he knew that this man was a strong martial artist.
Yelu Longyun shouted, "Someone! There are assassins! ”
The butler Yelu Zhongde rushed into the courtyard with five guards, and the masked woman stopped the six with her palms at her beck.
The masked man slashed Yelu Longyun's wooden stick with a sword, Yelu Longyun hurriedly hid behind the stone table, and the masked man kicked over the stone table and slashed at Yelu Longyun's head with his sword.
Hearing only the sound of "ah", the masked man's body trembled, and he had been hit by an arrow in his right chest.
Yelu Longxiang bent his bow and arrows and shouted, "Jelu Zhongde, you all get out of the way." ”
The six people stepped back, and an arrow shot at the masked woman, who dodged sideways, jumped in front of Yelu Longxiang, and slapped Yelu Longxiang in the chest, Yelu Longxiang took a few steps backwards, and spat blood from his mouth.
The masked woman jumped up to the masked man again and asked, "Brother, how are you?" ”
The six of them surrounded the two of them, only to see the masked woman shake her hand, and a puff of white smoke rose from the feet of the two of them, and after the white smoke passed, the two disappeared.
Yelu Longyun helped Yelu Longxiang to sit down on a chair in the room, and Yelu Longxiang said: "I'm fine, it's just that it shook me, just rest for a few days." ”
Yelu Longyun said: "Big brother, these two assassins have strange martial arts, I think they are Hu people from the Western Regions. ”
Yelu Longxiang nodded and asked, "How can there be Hu people from the Western Regions who want to kill us?" ”
Jerodron replied, "They are entrusted by men. ”
Yelu Longxiang said: "Entrusted by someone? Could it be that Xiao Fengxian instructed them? ”
Yelu Longyun said: "Unlikely, we have not reached the point of life and death between us. ”
Yelu Longxiang said: "Be careful recently, you send someone to investigate who is behind the scenes, tomorrow you send your sister, and I will go back to the hidden valley of Wulu Mountain Road to live in seclusion." ”
While the two were talking, Yahuan Xiaolan ran in in a panic and shouted, "Master, it's not good, the little young master stone is gone!" ”
Yelulong buzzed and asked, "What's going on?" ”
Xiaolan replied: "A few of us took the little young master to play hide and seek in the backyard, and suddenly broke into two masked people and injured us, and in the blink of an eye, the masked man was gone, and the little young master was gone." ”
Yelu Longyun ran to the backyard and saw several maids standing in the courtyard with a frightened expression. He ran out of the backyard gate, and there were only a few pedestrians on the street, and when he saw people, he asked, and the passers-by shook their heads.
Impatiently, Yelu returned to the backyard and asked, "Did you see the masked man snatching the stone?" ”
A few maids shook their heads and said, "The two masked men moved too fast, and they didn't see clearly when it was dark, anyway, the little young master was gone." ”
Yelu Longyun is at a loss, frowning, his son is a piece of meat in his heart!
Suddenly, a basket by the wall came to Jerodron, and when the basket was overturned, a stone came out from under the basket, and cried out, "Here I am, and you will not find me again." ”
Yelu Longyun picked up the stone and said, "You scared Dad, who thought you had been captured by the bad guys." ”
The stone cried out, "I saw two men running towards me, so I went under the basket so that they could not find me." ”
Yelu Longyun kissed the little stone on the cheek and said, "Son, you are too smart. ”
In the middle of the night, Yelu Longyun passed by his sister Yelu Longyan's room, saw that the light was still on, and doubted, he walked to the door, heard his sister crying quietly, and a man's voice, he heard that this man was the housekeeper Yelu Zhongde, he knew that his sister and Yelu Zhongde were both you and I had intentions, but Emperor Tianzuo ordered his sister to marry the emperor of the Western Regions Great Food Country, and he couldn't help it as an elder brother, he didn't bother the two, and turned to leave.
Yelu Zhongde was unwilling to lose his beloved like this, so he came to Yelu Longyan's room in the middle of the night.
When Yelu Longyan saw Yelu Zhongde, she shed tears and said, "Zhongde, don't blame me, I can't disobey the order. ”
Yelu Zhongde said: "Long Yan, if you still like me, run away with me, tonight is the last chance." ”
Yelu Longyan said: "No, if I escape, the emperor will condemn my two elder brothers, and it will affect the people of the family." “
Jerod said, "I like you, I can't lose you, I can't care so much!" ”
Yelu Longyan cried: "Zhongde, forget me, just because I never appeared!" She turned and walked over, wiping away tears.
Jerod said, "I can't do it, I can't fool myself, I'm going to die of misery!" ”
He took Yelu Longyan into his arms, kissed her on the cheek hard, and said, "You are mine, you are mine." ”
Yelu Longyan's heart softened, her body softened, and Yelu Zhongde hugged her into the bed tent, and the two were endlessly entangled.
