Chapter 228: Resist the Decree!
How did she come?
And it came so timely that he saved himself from the mace of Yelu Gaoba with an arrow.
At this moment, Shi Wei's mood didn't know whether he was happy or worried, how complicated it was.
Yelu Siyun galloped to the horse, Shi Wei stood on the carriage, and the eyes of the two passed through the battle group, looking at each other.
In Yelu Siyun's eyes, there were both joy and resentment.
What she liked was that she arrived in time to save Shi Wei.
What complained was naturally Shi Wei's farewell.
With such tender eyes, Shi Wei couldn't help but feel apologetic, if it wasn't for the situation, he would say goodbye to her.
It's just that Shi Wei didn't have a chance to explain the situation in front of him, so he had to shake his head at her helplessly.
Yelu Siyun glanced at the bloody battle group, took out something from his arms, held it high and shouted: "The Empress Dowager Yi aims for this, whoever dares to do anything with the Song State delegation will cut off his head!" ”
Yelu Siyun mobilized the strength of his whole body, and this roar overshadowed all the shouts of killing, and the hundreds of soldiers of the Song and Liao armies present were all heard.
Those Liao soldiers were suddenly terrified, and under the shock, they instinctively stopped and retreated, not daring to fight with the Song soldiers again.
The shouting of killing gradually stopped, and the three hundred Liao soldiers retreated one after another, and a fierce battle gave Yelu Siyun a retreat.
It's just that Yelu Gaoba didn't listen to it at all, and still fought with Yang Yanqi and refused to stop.
And Yang Yanqi also hated that he almost killed Shi Wei just now, but the other party didn't stop, and she refused to give up.
Yelu Siyun's eyebrows sank, and the horse passed through the human county, and the scimitar in his hand was unsheathed.
As soon as the cold light flashed, she heard a sharp "bang", and she rode through it, separating the two who were fighting fiercely.
Yelu Gaoba was shocked and took a step back, brandished his sword and rode his horse, wanting to fight again.
Yelu Siyun pulled his horse in front of Yang Yanqi and shouted at him: "Yelu Gaoba, you are so bold, do you even dare to disobey the will of the Queen Mother!" ”
When he was reprimanded, Yelu Siyun shook the yellow scroll, and the holy decree covered with the seal stopped him in front of him.
Yelu Gaoba, who was originally angry, turned off the flame.
If he slaughtered Shi Wei before Yelu Siyun, and the righteousness of avenging the king was put on his head, of course the queen mother could not be heavily blamed on him.
But now, with the edict written in black and white in front of him, if he dares to act rashly, it will be a blatant provocation to the authority of the Empress Dowager.
The provocation to the empress dowager is a provocation to the new emperor, a provocation to the edict of the first emperor, and a provocation to the entire Great Liao State.
At that time, even Jeruxiuge would not dare to intercede for him.
Yelu Gaoba is rude, but his heart is like a mirror, so he naturally does not have the courage to continue to resist the order.
In desperation, Yelu Gaoba had no choice but to collect the weapon, and said stupidly: "I don't dare to disobey the queen mother's decree, I just want this person to kill the first emperor, so I want to avenge the first emperor." ”
When he collects his weapon, it means that he has softened.
Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief, but Yang Yanqi was still indignant.
Yelu Siyun received the decree and said loudly: "The first emperor died of illness, and it has nothing to do with this Song envoy Shi Wei, this is what the Empress Dowager clearly said in the edict to the subjects of the world, Yelu Gaoba, you are doing this, are you suspecting that the Empress Dowager deliberately harbored the murderer of the first emperor?" ”
This is a very serious question, Yelugao is clumsy, and he immediately looks shocked by the question, and he doesn't know how to respond.
Yelu Siyun didn't want to say more to him, so he snorted coldly and said: "Since you know that you are wrong, I believe that the Queen Mother will not investigate it deeply, so why don't you withdraw with your men and horses quickly." ”
Yelu Gaoba's revenge was fruitless, but he was taught a lesson in front of everyone, and his face was disgraced.
He was on fire in his heart, but he didn't dare to attack, so he just retreated north with his subordinates in a sullen manner.
Before leaving, Yelu Gaoba glared at Shi Wei and said hatefully: "Shi Wei, I will send you a human head today, you give me a little care, one day we will meet again." ”
His threatening words seemed to imply that the Liao State would invade the Great Song Dynasty sooner or later, and he would definitely take Shi Wei's head again.
Shi Wei was almost killed by him, and he was already angry in his heart, but now when he dared to speak wildly and openly threaten himself, he was immediately angry.
At that moment, Shi Wei did not show weakness, and sneered: "General Yelu, don't worry, you don't need to come to me, it won't be long before I come to visit." ”
Shi Wei replied with the same threatening words, suggesting that soon after, the Great Song Dynasty would march north.
Yelu Gao didn't take advantage of it, it was boring, so he snorted coldly and rode away.
The main generals were all softened, and the rest of the Liao soldiers dared to be arrogant, they all collected their weapons, and followed Yelu Gaoba with a disgraced face.
These ferocious Khitan cavalrymen, when they passed by Yelu Siyun, all lowered their generals, not daring to look at her.
In this battle, the Song army also died a lot of brothers, and seeing the Liao people leaving like this, the soldiers all had hatred, but they did not dare to act rashly without Shi Wei's order.
In a moment, there was not a single Khitan cavalry left.
Shi Wei ordered his subordinates to clean up the battlefield, carry the wounded soldiers into the car, and put away the bodies of the dead in battle.
Shi Wei himself came to Yelu Siyun and arched his hand: "Thank you for the rescue, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have died under Yelu Gaoba's mace." ”
Yelu Siyun gave him a blank look, "Why don't you say goodbye?" ”
Shi Wei was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "The situation in Youzhou is complicated, and I can't help but leave in a hurry, if I take a step late, I'm afraid I'm afraid I'll lose my head at this moment." ”
Yelu Siyun sighed lightly, and also understood Shi Wei's difficulty.
"How did the county lord know that Yelu Gaoba would hunt me down?" Shi Wei asked.
Yelu Siyun said: "The first emperor is newly mourned, and many of the princes and ministers in Nanjing are dissatisfied with the queen mother's coming to listen to the government, and want to give the queen mother a problem by provoking a conflict with the Song State, but unfortunately they underestimate the queen mother. ”
Shi Wei was in a trance at this time, thinking that he still didn't know enough about the politics of Liao.
He originally wanted the change of the throne of the Liao State, but those ministers were afraid that the Great Song Dynasty would take the opportunity to invade the north, so they did not dare to touch him.
Now listening to Yelu Siyun's words, only some people are afraid of the Great Song Dynasty, and many people wish they could start a war with the Great Song Dynasty, so as to take the opportunity to gain more political benefits.
For example, if a hawkish military general like Yelu Hugo broke out, once the two countries went to war, Xiao Xuan would inevitably rely on these people to resist the Song army, so he had to compromise with them in some aspects.
"No wonder." Shi Wei muttered.
Yelu Siyun looked at his thoughtful appearance, and suddenly realized that the man in front of him was still an envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, and it was inappropriate for him to reveal the internal strife in his country so easily.
She glared and said, "What I just told you, do you plan to take it back and tell your emperor?" ”
"As a Song minister, my duty lies, and I hope the county lord will forgive me."
Shi Wei could deceive her, but Shi Wei didn't, he chose to be honest.
Yelu Siyun had a grudge, but because of his honesty, he could no longer blame him.
She looked at the handsome face, her eyes were full of water, and she sighed faintly: "I thought that your envoy this time would make you and me reconcile from now on, and we would no longer have to be enemies, but I didn't expect it to become like this." ”
Shi Wei also sighed, "Since ancient times, there are no two heavens and no two people, even if this negotiation is successful, our two countries will not become friends." ”
The Yanyun issue is not properly discussed, the internal instability of the Liao State, and the good opportunity given by God to the Great Song Dynasty, how can Zhao Kuangyin give it up.
The Great Song Dynasty's Northern Expedition to Youyun was no longer a secret at this time, and Shi Wei couldn't change this fact, so the surname Suo was more calm.
Yelu Siyun couldn't quite understand his crepe Chinese, but she could feel the difference from Shi Wei's tone.
She was silent, and there was a faint sadness in her beautiful face.
Shi Wei stretched out his hand. caressed her face and said with a faint smile: "This kind of general trend in the world is beyond you and me to change, instead of worrying about these things, why not look away, as long as you can live happily every day." ”
Shi Wei's surname is free and easy, and he can afford to let go of everything, so he uses this attitude to explain Yelu Siyun.
In the end, she is just a daughter's family, unlike men, who are too concerned about this entanglement of interests between countries.
As soon as Shi Wei enlightened her like this, her mood improved a lot.
At this time, Yang Yanqi came on a horse and said with a smile: "Siyun, thanks to you this time, if Yuanzhi has three long and two short, I really don't know what to do." ”
"Thank me for what to do, it should be me to thank you, if there is no protection, he is afraid that he will die many times ago." Yelu Siyun also laughed.
The two of them put Shi Wei aside and held each other's hands and talked and laughed.
Shi Wei was depressed when he watched from the side, and said in his heart that not long ago, you were still incompatible rivals in love, and after only experiencing the spring in the house, you became a bosom sister who talked about everything, and this psychological change is really unpredictable.
"Women, women, are not normal animals after all......"
When Shi Wei sighed, Xiong Qingye came over to report that the dead and wounded soldiers had been packed up and could set off on the road at any time.
Shi Wei glanced at the north, worried that if Yelu Gaoba did not give up, something might happen again, and he didn't dare to stay here for a long time, so as not to cause extraneous branches.
Although Yelu Siyun was reluctant, he had to say: "It's not too early, you should leave for China as soon as possible, so as not to have any more accidents." ”
Yang Yanqi took her hand with a reluctant expression, "Then we'll go, you go back first, be careful alone." ”
Yelu Siyun nodded, smiling reluctantly, but there was already a glint in his eyes.
Another farewell.
Shi Wei looked at the reluctant face, recalled the scenes of the previous separations, and the reluctance in his heart also arose.
"Shi Wei, I ......"
When Yelu Siyun was about to speak, Shi Wei suddenly stepped forward and kissed her deeply in full view of everyone.
After that kiss, he rolled over and got on his horse and shouted, "Go!" ”
He turned his horse's head and rode towards the Great Song Dynasty, never looking back.
