Han Derang was indifferent to the crisis in front of him, and let Yelu Gao's eight big words be unleashed, and his twenty attendants were all standing behind him, all expressionless, it seemed that these were Han Derang's die-hard subordinates.

Xiao Xuan, the Empress Dowager of Liao, listened to Yelu Gaoba's generous speech, her eyes were calm, and she didn't say a word.

I don't know what's going on, Yelu Gao Ba spoke with great confidence and anger at first, but as he spoke, his heart gradually became weaker, and his voice weakened, and finally he was silent-

Xiao Sui asked, "Yelu Gaoba, is there anything else you want to say?" ”

Yelu Gao said: "The minister's loyalty has been confessed to the Queen Mother, please let the Queen Mother know." ”

"Well, Jere, what about you?"

"The minister is only the king of the Southern Courtyard, and what the king of the Southern Courtyard says is what the minister wants to say."

Not the same as Yelu Gaoba, Yelu Question is also a little frightened, but at this time, he only has the courage to say this, and at the same time he is quite angry in his heart, and he said: "Han Derang will die today, and the Empress Dowager Chengtian must no longer interfere in court politics from now on, and she must be placed under house arrest, and then find an opportunity to get rid of it, lest she want to avenge Han Derang, hum, in this border city of the Song Kingdom, I have a thousand loyal and brave generals, Xiao Sui and Han Derang are already the turtles in the urn, and my Yelu Title is also the prince of Liao, I am afraid of where she will come!" ”

Yelu Liuge, the uncle of Yelu Gaoba, stood behind Yelu Gaoba and Yelu with a solemn expression.

Xiao Sui asked: "Brother Yeluliu, presumably you are also the same as Gao Ba and the question, are you on the side of Qingjun?" ”

Jeruliugo replied, "Yes." ”

Xiao Xuan rode on a black-maned and white-hoofed horse with a straight waist, and then turned around and asked Han Derang, who was ten steps away: "Prime Minister, they want to clear the king's side, what do you say." ”

Han Derang knows Xiao Xuan's iron fist, she will never give in, thinking back then, Xiao Siwen, the father of Xiao Xuan, the king of the North Courtyard, admired Han culture, and loved Han Derang very much, and wanted to marry his daughter Xiao Xuan to Han Derang, Xiao Xuan and Han Derang had traveled on horseback many times, Xiao Sui was very affectionate to Han Derang, but Han Derang didn't like Xiao Xuan with a tough personality very much, Han Derang liked Xiao Xuan's sister Xiao Xuan, despite this, Han Derang and Xiao Sui have been emotionally entangled for 20 years, Five years ago, Xiao Sui married Han Derang with the respect of the Queen Mother, and even Han De made himself unable to tell whether this energetic, decisive, but beautiful and amorous woman really loved him, maybe he just took a fancy to his talents, and asked him to use it for her desperately. ”

Xiao Xuan seemed to be very satisfied with Han Derang's simple answer, smiled slightly, and said to Yelu Gaoba and the others: "Since you want to clear the monarch's side, at present, Han Derang is not the only Hanchen in the court, how will they deal with it?" ”

Yelu Gaoba saw that Xiao Yu had a posture of submission, so he said forcefully: "Regardless of the fourth rank or below, the Han ministers above the fourth rank will be demoted and appointed, and those who have a close relationship with the minister Han Derang will still be asked." ”

Xiao Sui asked: "In this way, aren't the hundreds of thousands of Han people in the sixteen states of Youyan panicking?" ”

Yelu Gao Ba said loudly: "Da Liao is the Da Liao of my Khitan, why bother what those Han people think, those Han people dare to resist the adversity, so they will kill them with cool methods, and the rest of the people will naturally be subdued." ”

Xiao Xuan nodded, and seemed to be very satisfied with Yelu Gaoba's answer, his eyes turned, and he looked at Zhou Xuan, who was holding hands with Yang Xiaofeng, and said, "This is Zhou Xuan, the first grade of the Tang Kingdom, and the scholar of Jixian Palace, Zhou Xuan?" ”

Zhou Xuan let go of Yang Xiaofeng's hand, took a step forward, bowed and saluted: "Tang Zhou Xuan has seen the Empress Dowager Chengtian. ”

Xiao Xuan smiled at the corner of his mouth, his eyes turned on Zhou Xuan and Yang Xiaofeng's faces, and he turned back to ask Yelu Gaoba: "Gao Ba, you have also seen this Zhou Guogong when you went to Song Guo this time?" ”

Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Lord Yelu, I didn't expect us to meet here again." ”

Yelu Gaoba snorted and ignored Zhou Xuanli.

Xiao Sui asked: "Gao Ba, the Duke of Zhou is an important minister of the Tang State, and he is a concubine, how are you going to deal with him?" ”

Yelu Gaoba saw that Xiao Xuan consulted him everywhere, and he had a sense of power, glanced at Zhou Xuan, and said: "The matter here is not for outsiders, anyway, no one else knows, these Tang people are all executed, and then planted on the heads of the Song people, Tang Guoguo died in the Song State, the two countries will be like fire and water from now on, my Da Liao just profited from it, why not?" ”

There are more than ten people under Zhou Xuan, and he knows that he is a strong enemy at a glance, Yelu Gao Bayuan doesn't have to say the plot in his heart so clearly and fiercely, he does this because he secretly hopes that Zhou Xuan will rebel and kill Xiao Xuan and Han Derang in one go, or fight to defeat both, he can take the opportunity to kill both Zhou Xuan and Xiao Xuan, and there is an excuse to return to Beijing.

Xiao Xuan glanced at Zhou Xuan, Zhou Xuan was still calm, and there was still a faint smile on his face.

"Nope." Xiao Sui shook his head and said: "Distant and close attack, my enemies of Da Liao are the Song State and the Western Xia, I can't make enemies with the increasingly powerful Tang State, Zhou Guogong died here, it is difficult to hide the mouth, sooner or later the Tang people will know that it was the Liao people who did it, at that time, the Tang and Song Dynasty combined forces, it is very unfavorable to my Da Liao, as long as Zhou Xuan agrees to leave this sheep Xiaofeng, I think I can let Zhou Xuan leave, why is Gao Ba Yi?" ”

Yelu Gaoba has no revenge against Zhou Xuan, a Tang man who can't be beaten by eight poles, it doesn't matter if he kills or not, at this time, he might as well follow what Xiao Xuan said, so as not to anger her too much, and when he wins Han Derang, Xiao Xuan is a woman after all, what can he do, and as soon as Zhou Xuan left, Han Derang was missing a big arm to help, and immediately nodded and said: "The minister obeys the order, as long as Zhou Xuan leaves Yang Xiaofeng, he can leave by himself." ”

Hundreds of pairs of eyes inside and outside the manor stared at Zhou Xuan together, seeing how he chose?

Zhou Xuan remained silent, just looking at Xiao Xuan and Han Derang's expressions.

Xiao Sui smiled, and Han Derang looked indifferent.

Seeing that Zhou Xuan didn't speak, Yang Xiaofeng held Zhou Xuan's hand and said softly: "Son, go back first, as long as Feng'er doesn't die, he will definitely return to Jinling." ”

Zhou Xuan said: "How can I leave you!" ”

Yang Xiaofeng said: "Childe can get out first, and then try to save me." ”

Zhou Xuan said loudly: "I won't go, I want to go together, please ask the Empress Dowager Chengtian for permission." ”

Xiao Xuan said: "Zhou Guogong, Yang Xiaofeng is the daughter of Han Derang, how can I let you take it away, if you don't leave, you will be involved in the coup d'état of my Liao State, aren't you afraid of death?" ”

Zhou Xuan smiled and said: "I'm an outsider, you don't have to deal with me in a hurry, you come first, I'll watch, to see if the prime minister is more intelligent or the king of the Southern Courtyard is more domineering?" ”

Xiao Xuan and Han Derang were stunned when they heard this, and looked at each other.

Yelu Gao said angrily: "This is our Liao people's internal affairs, what kind of excitement do you Tang people see, if you don't leave, you will be killed now." ”

Zhou Xuan's eyes narrowed: "Yelu Gaoba, do what you should do first, don't mess with me, otherwise you will regret it." ”

Yelu Gaoba was furious, and was about to have a seizure, when his uncle Yelu Liuge behind him whispered something, it was nothing more than to deal with Han Derang, don't care about this Zhou Xuan first, Yelu Gaoba glared at Zhou Xuan fiercely, and thought: "Boy, I'll deal with you later." He ignored Zhou Xuan and said to Xiao Xuan: "Queen Mother, please come to the minister's side, lest the traitor, thief, and the minister jump off the wall in a hurry and harm the Queen Mother." ”

The entourage behind Xiao Xuan surrounded Xiao Xuan for three layers, protecting him like an iron bucket.

Xiao Xuan and Han Derang exchanged a glance in a flash that was difficult for outsiders to detect, and Han Derang said: "The minister never dares to hurt the queen mother, the queen mother wants to treat the crime of the minister, the minister does not dare to resist, the minister just wants to return to Liaojing with the crime, how to deal with the minister, let the emperor and the secretary of the public trial——"

"Dreaming!" Yelu Gaoba shouted: "Han Derang, you are innocent of death, do you still want to delay time?" Those who know the times, tie your hands and leave you all dead, otherwise—"

Han Derang ignored Yelu Gaoba and continued: "The minister is here, General Mu Fang is worried about the safety of the minister, so he brought five thousand iron horsemen, and is ready to receive the minister at any time in the Zhengding area, Mu Fang is loyal to my Emperor and the Queen Mother of Da Liao, but he will never let go of the rebellious ministers and thieves!" ”

Yelu Gaoba and Yelu were shocked when they heard this, Mu Fang was a fierce general of the Liao State, entrusted by the first emperor, and assisted the young new monarch Yelu Longxu with Han Derang, and Mu Fang had a very personal relationship with Han Derang, and Yelu Gaoba has always been not on good terms.

Xiao Sui slowly approached Yelu Gaoba, and asked in a loud voice: "Yelu Gaoba, Yelu question, are you still loyal to my Da Liao?" ”

Jerod and the two said in unison: "Loyalty." ”

Xiao Xuan's horsewhip was raised high, his eyes swept over the Yelu Gaoba and Yelu generals who were surrounding the village, and asked, "Are you loyal to my Da Liao?" ”

These generals and slaves naturally responded: "Loyalty." ”

More than 1,000 people agreed together, which was really a mountain and valley, and the momentum was amazing.

Xiao Xuan's horsewhip fell slowly, thousands of people were quiet, the empty mountains inside and outside the manor were silent, and only the cicadas from far and near came and went.

Xiao Xuan suddenly shouted: "Since you show your loyalty, you will eradicate the evil hoe and rape, when will you wait?" ”

Yelu Gaoba was stunned, and did not know how to answer, at this moment, he felt the wind in the back of his head, and lowered his body sharply, pulled the reins, and prepared to jump out of the horse, but it was too late, and a machete slashed down his right shoulder, diagonally to his right chest, and the force was so fierce that it cut straight into the heart—

Jerod got off his horse, and his blood gushed wildly, and he convulsed twice, and died.

At the same time, there was a knife to the Yelu question, the Yelu theme bow horse skillful, martial arts, a stirrup hidden, avoided, the crotch mount has run out to the side for several feet, there is his family will surround it.

Yelu sat back on the saddle bridge, frightened, and then saw that the one who beheaded Yelu Gaoba with a knife turned out to be Yelu Gaoba's uncle Yelu Liuge!

Yelu was furious and shouted, "Brother Liu, you actually killed your nephew!" ”

Yelu Liuge said coldly: "Could it be that I let Gao Bahu do something wrong and finally be wiped out?" On horseback, he saluted Xiao Xuan: "Your Majesty the Queen Mother, the minister respectfully obeys the decree of Yi and has been cut into the eighth high." ”

Xiao Sui nodded approvingly: "Very good, Brother Yeluliu, you are now the king of the Southern Courtyard, make persistent efforts, get rid of the traitor Yelu Title, and make new contributions." ”

Yeluliuge couldn't suppress the ecstasy in his heart, and said loudly: "The minister's decree." "Raise the sword and leap on the horse, and take the head of the Jelu question.
