On the second day, dawn rose, and the maids had already gone to the room to wash their faces with water for Fu Yin as usual.

The moment the door opened, only a faint fishy smell could be heard in the air, and shortly afterward, when the maids entered, they saw a man hunched headfirst down on the bed. Where the man was lying, blood oozed from the satin quilt, and blood flowed all the way to the ground.

When the maids went up to get closer, a very bold maid immediately pushed the man away from the bed, only to see that the man was Shangjing Mansion Yin, but at this moment he became a dead man.

He died in his room, shirtless and disheveled.

"Ahh

The officials also hurried to collect the bodies of the dead.

The official and the servant found that Shangjing Mansion Yin's face was pale, his eyes kept staring out, and he looked wronged, but the dagger in his hand was telling others that he had committed suicide, and next to his body, he found a confession, in which he admitted that a series of recent murders in Shangjing were related to him and the deceased.

Fu Yin's confession has been passed to Yelu Jing's ears through the officials of the capital, Yelu Jing is not surprised by this, because everything is done by him, he just washed his own hands, he thinks that he is playing the plot perfectly, but there are still people in the court who see his intentions clearly, but no one has exposed it.

Yelu Wu originally thought that he knew Ye Lu Jing, but today's suicide confession of Shangjing Mansion Yin made him feel more and more that there was a huge catty in it, Mansion Yin definitely did not commit suicide, he knew the other party's personality, this person's biggest problem was lustful, it is said that he personally went to Tianxianglou that night to escort a prostitute. The woman returned, and several servants of the mansion vaguely saw a burst of moaning in his room. The sound of struggle, but after a night, such a tragedy actually happened, and it was Yelu who thought that Fu Yin was just a scapegoat, and was planted after his death.

It's just that Yelu Wuzhi doesn't intend to expose Yelu Jing's conspiracy, for an emperor, the imperial power is the most closely related, and the emperor will get rid of this courtier when he threatens the throne, so from this point of view, Yelu Wuzhi doesn't think that Yelu Jing has done wrong, but there are indeed too many high-ranking officials and nobles who have died, which is actually harmful to the internal stability of Da Liao, but Yelu Wuqing has been silent for a long time, and over time he doesn't bother to care about these.

As for the other ministers, they just listen to the wind and rain, and what they care about is not the truth, but peace and security.

Since the death of Dafu Yin, Shangjing City has calmed down, and everyone is relieved at this moment, they think that the storm has passed, and the coming day should be sunny.

However, the sunny day is no longer, the rain and snow weather is aggravated a lot, the cold air from Siberia in the north suddenly hit the south, it blew everywhere there are three-foot thick snowflakes, snowflakes and cold waves together, the cattle and sheep on the northern steppe have also frozen to death, the herdsmen rely on the weather to eat, and they lost their source of livelihood in an instant, they don't know what to do.

Other pastures suffered the same fate, and over time, the grassland people who could not survive began to cultivate the grass valleys.

Winter has arrived.

The northern nomads also began to invade the south, at this time in the capital city, Yelu Jing also felt that his head was big, and the capital had calmed down, and then at this time, a conflict broke out between the tribes in the north.

The war broke out again, the number of victims increased, and the entire north was also greatly damaged, and Yelujing had to send more troops to suppress it, but the effect was not obvious, but it provoked a larger rebellion.

But the winter continues.

The spies of Changchun Hall and the flying sparrows, their actions have been carried out in secret, from the northernmost and southernmost parts of the Liao Kingdom, as well as from the east and west.

Behind them were those sporadic caravans in the territory of the Liao State.

During this time, the caravans also began to disappear, and they all retreated south in order to avoid the ice and snow and conflict in the north.

……

Youdu Mansion has entered the middle of winter, and in the snowy season in the north, everything seems so pale and weak.

Outside the city, in the wasteland, Xiao Siwen and his third daughter Xiao Yanyan are hunting here, hunting in the cold and biting snow, this is the most sacred season of the Khitan people, and the winter hunt of the year has begun at this moment.

The white horse under Xiao Yanyan's crotch is a high-grade Qianli horse, with pure white and flawless hair, and Xiao Yanyan affectionately calls it "white snow".

Bai Xue is a mare, but her temperament is extremely rough, Xiao Siwen was also afraid that her daughter would be difficult to tame this fierce horse, but in the end, Xiao Siwen found that this fierce horse was also tamed by her daughter.

In the snow, the white snow carried its owner under the flying of snowflakes, and danced lightly across the northern ice fields.

The ice sheet was snow-white, and the mountains and forests in the distance became a tall barrier under the heavy snow.

There was a small black dot in the distance slowly running into the mountain forest, Xiao Yanyan relied on her sharp gaze, and suddenly saw the moving point, which seemed to hear the sound of Xiao Yanyan running towards her, and suddenly the point accelerated its pace and rushed towards the forest.

The ice and snow are flying, and the white snow is even more like white snow, and the woman in red on Bai Xue's body also looks very hot, like a cold plum blooming in the ice and snow.

Wrapped in red makeup at will, the heroic Xiao Yanyan pulled out an arrow from the quiver, she tightened the bowstring, and wore a copper finger on the index finger of her right hand, and with the crisp sound of the bowstring, the arrow moved quickly towards a small black dot in the distance.

Xiao Siwen saw that his daughter was ruthless, not like a woman at all, as if he was even more of a Khitan battlefield man, he felt a little lonely in his heart, if only Yanyan was a man, then he deflated his mouth, and said in his heart: Isn't it his daughter whether it is a man or a woman?

The arrow had already hit the target, and the little black dot was lying on the ground all at once, and it didn't move.

When Xiao Yanyan saw that the prey was shot, she immediately urged the white snow under her crotch and ran towards the small black spot.

On the snow, the snow ran wildly, and a woman in red floated in.

But when she got closer, dozens of steps, Xiao Yanyan's smug face suddenly lost color, and she suddenly found that the small black dot on the ground was a thin man, but there was an arrow stuck horizontally behind the man, and that arrow was shot by herself.

The man was lying down, with a stain of blood on the snow.

Xiao Yanyan saw that she had harmed someone, she immediately got off Bai Xue's body, and then walked to the man's side, she stretched out her right hand and poked into the man's nose, and she was secretly glad that the man still had a breath.

She shouted a few words to Xiao Siwen in the distance, Xiao Siwen noticed that his daughter's words were a little frightened, he hurriedly drove his horse, he didn't know what his daughter had found.

"yes, I shot someone!" Xiao Yanyan did something wrong, but now she looked scared, she pointed to the person lying down on the snow, and there was some fear in her words.

Xiao Siwen had already arrived here, he saw a man lying on the ground, and judging from the man's clothes and hair, this person should be a Han, he glanced at his daughter, and then said disdainfully: "This person is just a commoner of the Han family, and if he dies, he will die, and he won't live long if he looks like this." ”

Xiao Yanyan said: "yes, after all, it was his daughter who hurt him, what my daughter has to do now is to bring him back to the house for treatment, as for life and death, that's another matter." ”

Seeing that his daughter still insisted, Xiao Siwen shook his head and said, "Yanyan, he's just a Han, we don't know if he's a good guy or a bad guy, if it's a spy, wouldn't it be saving a wolf?" ”

"Wolves?" Xiao Yanyan turned to say: "Yes, it's one thing to save him, if it's a spy, wouldn't yes also take him into his own hands for the first time?" ”

Xiao Siwen saw that he couldn't talk about his daughter, he nodded and said: "Let's save it first, and then talk about the others, but this person appears here in a grand manner, it is indeed very weird, it is better to carry it back for treatment first." ”

A flute had already sounded on the empty snowfield, and in the distance, the Khitan warriors had galloped on horseback, and those were all people who had traveled with Xiao Siwen.

The people from Xiao Siwen's Mansion had already quickly sent this person on horseback, and then turned back to send him to Xiao Mansion in the city.

The snowflakes continued to fall, but fortunately, this person was blessed with a great life, and only then did he pick up a life.

After three or four days, the man had gradually regained his strength, but now this person was skinny, and he had been lying in the Xiao Mansion of the Youdu Mansion waiting to recuperate, and Xiao Yanyan also went to see the person who was shot by herself from time to time.

The man looked unattractive and honest, and Xiao Yanyan also vaguely knew from the mouth that he was a member of the Han caravan, and when the caravan retreated south, he was robbed by people from other tribes, and he only wanted it

Xiao Yanyan came in with a bowl of wound medicine, she saw that the man was opening his eyes and looking at herself who pushed the door in, she quickly brought the medicinal herbs to the head of the bed, and then said apologetically: "I'm really sorry that day, I hurt you." ”

"Thank you benefactor, if I hadn't been shot by the little lady that day, I guess I would have starved to death or froze to death."

Xiao Yanyan asked, "By the way, I don't know how you appeared outside the city?" ”

The man said: "I fled from the north, originally doing business in Liao, but the weather was cold, and I was retreating south with the caravan, but I was robbed of the goods by other tribes in the middle of the road, and then the little lady must have known about it." ”

"Hmm." Xiao Yanyan nodded

The man had closed his eyes at the moment, and he tried to remember what had happened in those days, and then drank the medicine before continuing to recuperate.

escaped from the north, if he hadn't been shot by himself that day, it is estimated that he would have frozen to death, and it was only then that he picked up a life, Xiao Yanyan shook her head and smiled bitterly

During this period of time, Xiao Siwen also knew the situation in the north, and now the situation in Youdu Mansion is not better than other places in Liao, Youdu Mansion is close to the border of Song and Liao, and in Zhuozhou and Yizhou, the situation is indeed much better than Youdu Mansion, which is in the territory of Song State, although Song State has also suffered from the snow disaster at this moment, but the government and civil arrangements are very good, they have transported grain from Jianghuai and other places in advance, and they have also dealt with it very well after the disaster.

All this made Xiao Siwen's heart a little disappointed and angry, he was watching the other party grow up little by little, but he was helpless, isn't all this because Emperor Liao is mediocre, and now Da Liao has been made a little smoky by Yelu Jing, if it goes on like this, I am afraid that sooner or later Liao will become a fish on the chopping block of the Great Song Dynasty like those small countries in the south of the Yangtze River.

Xiao Siwen has also been secretly observing the opponent of the Great Song Dynasty in the past few years, and he found that this originally inconspicuous opponent has gradually become larger, and the tail is not lost, and he does not know how this Great Liao will develop in the future.

And what puzzled him the most was that he found that after his daughter Xiao Yanyan returned to Youdu Mansion, she was chanting the name of a person all the time, and that person, according to guards A and B, had saved the lives of his daughter and maid in Kaifeng Mansion.

The surname Zhao, Mingzhao, this name? surnamed Zhao, much older than his daughter, now in Kaifeng, the surname Zhao is estimated to be the royal family of the Great Song Dynasty or the relatives of Zhao Kuangyin.

No, this name is categorically not true, but now there is a person in Kaifeng, he is Zhao Dezhao, the king of the Great Song Dynasty and Wei.

"Zhao Dezhao, it must be him." Xiao Siwen thought silently in his heart, and the five flavors were complicated.
