Seeing that the follow-up troops of the Khitan were getting closer and closer, although Yu Qing couldn't move or speak, his mind was normal, so he could only secretly control his qi and practice the nameless and simple heart trick.

At this critical moment, a young general guarding the pass shouted: "Yu Shaoxia must be injured, I'll save him." After speaking, he slid down the rope and ran towards Yu Qing quickly, but when he ran to Yu Qing's side, the Khitan soldiers were only more than a hundred steps away from them. When the defenders of the city saw the Khitan soldiers and horses attacking, they immediately released arrows, and they condescended and successfully stopped the attack of the Khitan soldiers, winning precious time for the young general to rescue Yu Qing. As soon as he hugged Yu Qing on his back, he ran on his back, and came to the gate, Yu Qing put it in the hanging basket, and he also got on the hanging basket, and the soldiers on the closed side pulled the rope together, and pulled them to the city wall after dividing them by two. When everyone saw the escape, they all shouted long live.

The terrain of Yanmen Pass is dangerous, it can be said that it is a one-man pass, ten thousand people are not open, the soldiers guarding the pass are condescending, and the Khitan soldiers want to forcibly break through the pass, how easy is it to talk about? Yelu Deguang was not a stupid donkey without self-knowledge, so he had to order to clean up the battlefield, and after catching some Tuyuhun people who were injured but not dead, he returned to Beijing in despair.

Besides, after the guards rescued Yu Qing, they saw that he was hanging colors in many places and couldn't speak, thinking that he was seriously injured, so they handed him over to the Jin army of the palace who returned to the pass and the 500 soldiers who stayed to answer. The soldiers didn't know what to do, so they had to make a stretcher and carry him back to Taiyuan.

Along the way, Yu Qing breathed and breathed, controlled the qi and walked the acupoints, some power had been condensed in his body, his fingers could already move, and after arriving in Taiyuan, he resumed to speak, but he still couldn't walk.

When Zhao Kuangyan heard that Yu Qing was injured, he ran to see it in a hurry, and when he saw Yu Qing sleeping on the bed with injuries all over his body, tears flowed out of his eyes, and he pounced on him and said, "Brother Yu, what's wrong with you?" ”

Yu Qing reluctantly smiled and said, "It's okay, you can't die, just rest for a few days!" ”

Yu Qing didn't even know that after returning to the Yuan Infant Period, it would take eight eight or sixty-four days to recover, and he thought that he would be able to speak in the next few days when he returned to Taiyuan, so it shouldn't be too far from recovery.

Zhao Kuangyan wiped his tears and said, "It's better to do this, otherwise, what should you do if you tell me?" ”

At this time, Liu Zhiyuan also received a report that Yu Qing had returned, and immediately came to visit, and along the way, the sergeants had already told him about Yu Qing's heroic deeds of fighting the Khitan cavalry at Yanmen Pass. Liu Zhiyuan was happy and worried when he heard it, happy that he didn't see the wrong person, Yu Qing was really a good material, and he was worried that he didn't know how his injury was.

When Liu Zhiyuan came to Yu Qing's bedroom, saw Yu Qing's appearance, and heard the news that Yu Qing was paralyzed, he felt sad for a while, went up to the bedside and held Yu Qing's hand and said: "Brother Yu, you have suffered, good brother, don't worry, I will definitely cure you!" ”

Yu Qing still didn't speak very smoothly, and said intermittently: "It's okay, thank you Lord Liu for remembering." ”

After more than ten days, under the careful care of Zhao Kuangyan and the treatment of the doctor Liu Zhiyuan, Yu Qing's external injuries have basically healed, he practices pranayama every day, and can already sit up by himself, Liu Zhiyuan also often comes to see him, and everything seems to be developing in a good direction.

Yelu Deguang suffered a loss in Yanmen Pass, and after returning to Shangjing, he couldn't help but be furious, he ordered the captured Tuyuhun people to be tortured severely, and was even more furious after knowing the news that the Tuyuhun Chuan National Treasure Ding had entered the Central Plains. He has long coveted the tripod of Tuyuhun, and sent people to rob it many times, but the people of Tuyuhun don't know where to hide the tripod, and the people he sent returned in vain every time, but he didn't expect this treasure tripod to go to the Central Plains. He scolded: "Fuck, Bai Chengfu, this old dog, give Lao Tzu this trick? Count him ruthless! ”

Seeing this, Zhao Yanshou stepped forward and bowed: "Your Majesty, since Baoding has arrived in the Central Plains, then the Later Jin Emperor Shi Jingjiao respects you as his father emperor, why don't you send a messenger to Tokyo, let you, the emperor, obediently hand over Baoding, he keeps saying that he wants to honor you, this is a good opportunity to test his loyalty and filial piety, if he hands over Baoding, he will offend the Tuyuhun people, if he doesn't hand it over, we can also use this as an excuse to go south and win the Central Plains, isn't this a good thing to kill two birds with one stone?" ”

Yelu Deguang slapped his thigh and said, "Oops! Sure enough, it's a clever plan, Zhao Aiqing woke up the dreamer with a word, and this time I will reward you greatly. ”

Zhao Yanshou said: "Reward, that's not necessary, just don't forget your majesty's promise to me!" ”

Yelu Deguang was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he laughed and said, "No, how could the master forget?" ”

So, Yelu Deguang sent an envoy Qiao Rong to Tokyo, the capital of the Later Jin Dynasty, and came to ask the Later Jin Emperor Shi Jingjiao about Tuyuhun Zhiding.

This Qiao Rong was originally a general of the Later Tang Dynasty, and after following the Khitan portrait of Zhao Yanshou's father and son, he was appreciated by Yelu Deguang because he was more "loyal" in serving Yelu Deguang, and was appointed as the Khitan envoy. This Qiao Rong was as obedient and pious as a wagging tail and begging dog in front of the Khitans, but after arriving in the Jin Dynasty, he showed off his might and made a fortune. He said to Shi Jingjiao domineeringly: "You can be convicted!" ”

Shi Jingjiao saw that he was so rude as a little general, his lungs were about to explode, but because he was a messenger sent by his father, Emperor Yelu Deguang, he didn't dare to offend, so he could only swallow his anger and replied: "My father is above, and the emperor is terrified, I really don't know what crime I have committed?" ”

Qiao Rong said: "Clever words! This envoy came to ask Tuyuhun Zhiding on the order of his father's emperor, and the little Jin Dynasty also dared to touch the bag of his father's emperor Yelu? You must immediately hand over Baoding and pay tribute to my wise and martial father, the emperor, otherwise, Long Yan will be furious, the heavenly army will go south, and the Jin Dynasty will ambush millions of corpses and bleed thousands of miles, don't blame me for not thinking about the love of father and son in the Khitan Great Liao Kingdom! ”

Shi Jingjiao scolded in his heart: "The dog who has forgotten his ancestors, you are also from the Central Plains!" ”

In fact, he Shi Jingjiao is not this kind of person, why did he know today? But he didn't dare to say it, so he could only grovel and say: "Emperor Er really doesn't know about Tuyuhun Ding, if it is indeed as the Holy Envoy said, Emperor Er must ask Liu Zhiyuan to hand over Baoding." ”

Qiao Rong said: "This is the best! Then in the name of his father, the emperor blackmailed Shi Jingjiao for a while before swaggering away.

Shi Jingjiao didn't dare to offend the Khitan, and immediately sent the great eunuch Zhang Gonggong to Taiyuan to ask Liu Zhiyuan about Tuyuhun Zhiding, but Liu Zhiyuan didn't buy it, and said: "This Tuyuhun Dingding is the heirloom of Tuyuhun, and he has no right to dispose of it." At first glance, it seems to make some sense, but in fact, he didn't listen to Shi Jingjiao's orders at all and refused to hand over the Tuyuhun Dingding to the Khitan.

Shi Jingjiao was in a dilemma, on the one hand, he was supporting himself to take the throne and eyeing the Khitan lord Yelu Deguang, and on the other hand, he was the local prince Liu Zhiyuan, who supported the army and respected himself and dominated one side.

Seeing that his condition was getting worse and worse, Shi Jingjiao knew that his limit was approaching, so he summoned Prime Minister Feng Dao.

Feng Dao came to Shi Jingjiao's bedroom and saw that he was dying, and the great eunuch Zhang Gonggong was holding the young prince Shi Chongrui in his arms.

Jing Tang didn't say a word, and glanced at Gonggong Zhang.

Gonggong Zhang stepped forward and carried Shi Chongrui in front of Feng Dao and handed it to him.

Feng Dao hugged Shi Chongrui and knelt in front of Shi Jingjiao's couch, Shi Jingzhen nodded, and a tear fell from the corner of his eye.

Feng Dao burst into tears and cried: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the old minister will definitely assist the young master, you can rest assured!" ”

Shi Jingjiao smiled slightly, and coughed violently again. The great eunuch Zhang Gonggong sent Feng Dao out of the bedroom.

Within a few days, Shi Jingjiao was dying.
