- Some people may look down on Dali City because it is located in the west and is remote and isolated, but in fact, in this era, it can be ranked 14th in the list of world cities. And before it, the vast majority were cities of the Song Dynasty. Therefore, although its prosperity cannot be compared with Bianjing City, it is far above most cities in the world.

At least Europe in this era is incomparable......

Although Dali's night is not as prosperous and crowded as Bianjing City, there are many young men wearing white linings, velvet collar coats, and short waistbands, holding lanterns in one hand and holding their beloved girls in the other, strolling on the streets where starlight and flowers meet, and talking about love sweetly.

In the distance, I don't know who pulled the dragon's head and sang the sultry ballad:

'Little sister, we are a pair of two rivers.

We are a pair of fish from two rivers, meeting at the confluence.

Bees want to pick candy, goldfish want to taste the taste of seawater.

The water wants to fish and the fish wants to water, just waiting for a meeting......

The song was sent to the streets and alleys of Dali City by the pleasant breeze at the turn of spring and summer, and also to the ears of the two people in the carriage.

'Is there an assassination in such a beautiful place?' Song Duanping didn't say anything, but he hoped in his heart that the tranquility of this paradise could be maintained for a long time.

'Whoosh ......' suddenly heard the sound of bowstrings and breaking the air from all directions, breaking his full literary tone.

Several short arrows pierced through the windows of the carriage and were firmly nailed to the inner wall of the carriage.

"There are assassins!" Outside the carriage, shouts, blades, and screams rang out: "Protect your lord!" ”

"Kill!" More than 100 Assassins dressed in black. Blades were drawn from all directions, and many were also well-armed with crossbows.

The guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion were in the outermost layer, and under the first wave of bows and arrows, they were killed and wounded, and at this moment, they were even more under the influence of the assassins, and the crazy white blades were combined.

The martial arts of those Assassins were surprisingly prohibitive. Moreover, he is not afraid of death, and his moves are deadly, and those who are in the middle are not spared.

"Be careful. They have blood on their blades! The Xiangfu guard saw the abnormality and reminded his companion in a loud voice.

Because he was attending a banquet in the city, Chen Ke only brought a few dozen guards. Coupled with dozens of Xiangfu guards, the number is not as large as the other party, and the opponent's martial arts are strong, extremely fierce, and the blades are poisonous, and in a blink of an eye, the Xiangfu guards were slashed to death.

Fortunately, at this time, the guards of the Imperial City Division also calmed down from the panic and joined the battle group under the leadership of Monk Xuanyu and Wang Shao.

Xuanyu's kung fu has grown again, and a stainless steel Zen staff makes it superb. Dancing like water, one person can defeat four or five people.

Wang Shao didn't expect that this little monk, who visits monks everywhere on weekdays, has such a high level of martial arts. couldn't help but be competitive, and shook the long sword in his hand. forced back the two people in front of him and said, "Xiao Yu'er, let's compare!" ”

"Than what?"

"Look who kills more."

"Amitabha." Xuanyu pronounced a Buddha horn in his mouth, and smashed a head with a stick.

Only then did Wang Shao discover that the little monk seemed to be loyal, but in fact he was treacherous. Hurry up with your sword and rush forward to the right. Each sword stabs at the opponent's vital point.

Under the leadership of these two masters, the guards were full of morale, and they did not rout like the Dali guards, and they were able to resist the opponent's attack.

On the carriage, Chen Ke and Song Duanping planned to go down to help in the battle, but when they saw that the guards had stabilized their positions, they were not in a hurry to go down...... This black light is blinding, and they are not the top masters of Xuanyu and Wang Shao's 'thousands of flowers, not a single leaf is touched', in case they hang some color, it will not be cost-effective to die of poison.

It's still in the carriage, waiting for reinforcements from Dali...... This place is not far from the palace, and the Imperial Forest Army should have heard it, and it is estimated that they will rush over in the blink of an eye. …,

But Dali's Imperial Forest Army was delayed, but the guards of the Great Song Dynasty arrived first.

In the middle of the battle, footsteps came in the distance, torches were bright, and the shouts of the guards could be heard: "Hugh is leaving, assassin!" ”

Seeing that the situation was not good, the assassins hurriedly retreated like a tide, and when they did not have time to be wrapped in dumplings, they did not hesitate to take their blades and stab themselves in the body......

Seeing that the overall situation outside had been decided, Chen Ke breathed a sigh of relief, frowned again, and said, "Let's do it, be on time." ”

"Why don't you do it yourself......"

"I have no interest in self-harm."

"Then you're welcome......"

'Poof......'

"Oh, your uncle's ......"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At this time, the Imperial Forest Army of Dali finally arrived, and the guards of the brigade surrounded the carriage inside and outside, and the alarm was completely lifted.

Seeing the corpses strewn all over the street, the commander of Dali was frightened, nodded and apologized, and asked if he could hurt you.

Li Quan kicked him in anger and scolded: "If our adults hurt a single hair, we will have to demolish your Bird Palace in Dali!" After that, he leaned over to the car and asked, "Are you okay?" As he spoke, he opened the car door, and was stunned - he saw Chen Ke being hit by an arrow in the ribs, leaning on Song Duanping's arms, half of his body already stained red with blood.

"Your Excellency has been hit by an arrow." Song Duanping snorted in a low voice, his face was like a pig railway: "Come back to the hotel!" ”

In the Dali Palace, Duan Silian had just fallen asleep when he was called up by his own chief guard.

Duan Silian's sleep quality was extremely poor, he was a little sleepy just now, and he was quarreled again, so he was naturally upset, and said angrily: "Why are you so panicked? ”

"Your Majesty, something is wrong, the Great Song Dynasty Mission was assassinated, and the deputy envoy was hit by a poisoned arrow, and his life is in danger!"

This report was more refreshing than anything else, making Duan Silian jump up from the bed, and without caring about putting on his shoes, he lifted the bead curtain and said, "You say it again?" ”

The chief of the guard recounted the details.

"How is the Song envoy now?" Duan Silian was frightened, if the Song envoy died in Dali, the Great Song would definitely be furious.

"There is less bad luck. The assassin's murder weapons were quenched with the poison of blood sealing the throat. ”

"Ah......" Duan Silian's face turned even paler: "Quickly send the imperial doctor to the Li Hotel." In addition, the gates of the city shall be closed, and they shall not be opened without my orders. At the same time, the whole city of Dasuo. The murderer must be found out! ”

After the three decrees, the city of Dali became a mess, and the Imperial Forest Army set fire overnight, knocking on doors from house to house to search for the assassins' whereabouts.

How many people didn't sleep this night......

Duan Silian, the emperor of Dali, paced barefoot in the dormitory for a long time. Then he called the generals of his family, issued several secret decrees, and ordered people to change their clothes. Leave the palace to visit the hotel.

Before him, the Gao family had already arrived first. Because the assassination happened on the way back from the Gao family's banquet. Gao Zhisheng's father and son visited the hotel overnight, but were blocked by angry guards. It's easy to say, but it's still closed.

"Father, let's go back." Gao Shengtai turned around helplessly.

"Alas......" Gao Zhisheng seemed to be several years old, sighed and got into the carriage with the support of his son.

"Who is so bold?" Gao Shengtai followed the car, sat down opposite his father, and said softly: "How dare you frame us? ”

"I don't know," Gao Zhisheng sighed, "Did you catch the assassin?" ”

"They are all dead, and there is no living mouth." Gao Shengtai said: "But look at the weapon." They are all scimitars commonly used by the Nong people. ”

"No way, unless they're tired of living." Gao Zhisheng shook his head.

"Who could that be?" Gao Shengtai said: "Yang family? ”

"The Yang family is also unlikely, although Yang Yunxian is a little lacking in heart, but there is no need for him to send someone to assassinate the Song envoy in order to destroy the hope of the Duan family's canonization." Gao Zhisheng frowned and said, "If you introduce the Song army into Dali." How else could he rebel? ”…,

"And who else? Could it be Duan Silian? ”

"He doesn't have the guts." Gao Zhisheng shook his head and said, "What's more, Song Envoy died in Dali, how can he ask for canonization?" ”

"That's really no one," Gao Shengtai said helplessly: "Where did this group of people come from!" ”

"If you can't guess, don't guess, let's deal with the present." Gao Zhisheng listened to the sound of chaos in the city, sighed and said, "Tomorrow, I will personally go to Temo Dao and ask the Nong clan to hand over Nong Zhigao." ”

"That's all it can be......" Gao Shengtai also sighed. The most important thing now is not to give the Song army an excuse to invade eastern Yunnan.

While the father and son were talking, the guards outside reported that the emperor had also arrived.

Gao Shengtai lifted the curtain and saw Duan Silian's jade being carried into the hotel. Just now they were blocked out of the door, but Duan Silian went in, this difference made the faces of the Gao family's father and son extremely ugly.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next morning, Jing Yin reported the news of the attack on the Song envoy yesterday. Many officials who were kept in the dark only then knew what the whole city of Dasuo was for last night.

Of course, more people have known for a long time, and at the moment they are watching the development of the situation with apprehension.

"This is the biggest crisis in Dali, the widow announced ......" Although Duan Silian had a pair of dark circles under his eyes, his face was completely different from the past, his gaze swept over the ministers, and finally fell on Yang and Gao, and said in a deep voice: "From now on, the capital will enter a state of alert, the city gate will be closed, and the assassins will be searched!" No one shall go out of the city without the command of the widow. ”

"Can't even the old man and Xiangguo?" Yang Yunxian's face was ugly. Seeing that it was about to be launched, but such a situation occurred, the old guy naturally became angry. Now that he heard Duan Silian say this, he couldn't help but have a seizure.

"It's not that the widow wants to restrict the Taishi," Duan Silian habitually explained with a smile: "This is for the Song envoys to see, they must catch the murderer, and we can only calm their anger by doing our best to the best sincerity." ”

"Hmph......" Duan Silian scooped the Song envoy to suppress him, Yang Yunxian really had no choice, he was already suspicious, if he hadn't been clamoring to leave Beijing, how could the people of the Song Dynasty not suspect him?

"In addition," Duan Silian got up and said in a deep voice: "I want to send an envoy to explain this matter to the Great Song Dynasty......
