- In February of the fourth year of Song Jiayou, the eyes of the whole world once again converged on Bianjing City. After a lapse of two years, another talent selection ceremony was held as scheduled. This is a special addition of the official Zhao Zhen to fulfill his promise. And the chief examiner has no suspense, and Ouyang Xiu, who killed Taixue last time, served as the ......

Of course, life has to go on, and Bianjing City is still prosperous. After a winter, the Hulong River, the Bianhe River, the Cai River, the Wuzhang River, and the Jinshui River all woke up and became green waves, teasing the reflection of the willows on both sides. On the river, thousands of sails are competing, hundreds of boats are competing for the current, carrying goods and travelers from all over the world, heading to the wharves of the capital.

Among them, there is a fleet of five flat-bottomed boats, quietly sailing to the Bianhe wharf.

On the deck of the first boat, there was a long man in a blue brocade robe, a black cloak on his shoulders, and a jasper jade hanging from his waist, which was Chen Ke and Chen Zhongfang, who had been away from Beijing for two years. He looked at the familiar and unfamiliar banks of the Bianhe River, but saw that in front of the two- and three-story wooden buildings on both sides, there were colorful Huanmen colorful buildings.

Downstairs in Huanmencai, there is still such a busy traffic and crowds, shouting, singing, talking, shouting, noisy. Riding donkeys, carrying burdens, and hurrying, the hats they wear include fairy peach scarves, width scarves, group scarves, road scarves, shawls, Tang scarves, etc., which are full of flowers and dizzying.

This unparalleled Bianjing City, even the air is full of prosperity...... Chen Ke closed his eyes and took a deep breath, the kind of satisfaction and relaxation actually felt like a wanderer returning home.

Hell yes. Lao Tzu has only lived in Bianjing City for a year, is it good? He couldn't help but laugh at himself that he was too obsessed with the prosperity that was unique in this world.

Actually, it couldn't be more normal. Because. In this world thousands of years ago, only this Bianjing City can bring a familiar feeling to a soul from a thousand years later...... This is the hometown of dreams.

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

The fleet slowly docked at the Bianhe wharf, and when the cable was tied tightly and the pedal was lowered, Zhou Dingkun, who stayed in the capital, boarded the boat, bowed deeply to Chen Ke, and said respectfully: "The carriage has been prepared, and the affairs here can be handed over to the people below." ”

Chen Ke nodded and strode off the boat. Boarding the long-awaited black carriage. As for Liu Yue'e and his thirty-six Japanese maids, in order to avoid people's eyes, they disembarked before entering the city.

After settling down in the carriage, Zhou Dingkun first presented a small rosewood box. Chen Ke took it and opened it. On the red suede lining, there is a gemstone ring embedded in it. The gemstone is large and has a mysterious black light, and this is a priceless black diamond...... Because it is unique in the world, almost no one knows it.

This ring is the certificate of control over all the properties in Chen Ke's name, and he has been kept by the financial officer Zhou Dingkun in the past few years when he has been in Bianjing, and he has taken care of his business. Now that Chen Ke is back, he naturally wants to return the things to their original owners.

Just one look. He closed the box and asked, "Is everything alright?" ”

"This ......" Zhou Dingkun looked embarrassed, and held back for a while before saying, "Your Excellency will know when you go back." ”

"I'm going to know now." Chen Ke frowned.

"During the period of your disappearance," Zhou Dingkun sighed, "something bad happened. ”

"As soon as I arrived in Dengzhou, I had already reported to the imperial court." Chen Ke said in a deep voice.

"The imperial court is nothing ......," Zhou Dingkun sighed again, "And that incident happened a month ago, and there was no news of adults at that time." ”

"Say!" Chen Ke said coldly.

"Li Quan, Brother Li......" Zhou Dingkun mustered up his courage and said in a low voice: "Let's go." ”

"Where?" Chen Ke frowned.

"Returned to the West......" Zhou Dingkun said with a gloomy face.

"What's going on?" Chen Ke felt a chill down his spine.

"In the first month of this year, the Liao envoy who came to congratulate him asked everyone to appear by name. Everyone in Du has stopped singing, which is well known in the capital. But they're messing around. rushed to the Tianyin Water Pavilion to find her. Zhou Dingkun said in a low voice: "Master Li got the news and rushed over first, and the two sides had a fierce quarrel outside the door, and then drew their knives against each other. But they were Liao envoys, and Lord Li didn't dare to hurt them. The Liao people were not polite and stabbed Master Li in the thigh. Lord Li's men fought with them. At this time, the soldiers of Kaifeng Mansion also arrived, separating the two sides. ”…,

"Master Li lost too much blood, and Imperial Doctor Wang didn't save him......" Zhou Dingkun saw that Chen Ke's face was already blue, and he hesitated and didn't know whether to go on. After a while, he continued: "The people are excited, but the identity of the murderer is a Liao envoy, and Kaifeng Mansion does not dare to be arbitrary, so he reported to the court, but the above asked him to secretly release people." ”

"That's it?" Chen Kedeng's eyes were red when he boarded, and he looked like he was going to eat people. The pride and arrogance that he had easily built up in Dali and Japan shattered piece by piece in an instant.

"The matter is not over yet, the day before yesterday was the day when the envoys left Beijing. The man hid in the mission and swaggered out of the city. But somehow the news leaked and was stopped at the gate of the city by the people. Zhou Dingkun continued: "The Liao envoys have nothing to fear, gather together, and wait for Kaifeng Mansion to come to the rescue. At this time, Rokuro appeared and wanted to sign a life-and-death duel with the murderer. ”

"Rokuro?" Chen Ke's palms were sweating for a while, and in his heart, Liulang was always the little brother who dragged his nose. only to realize that he was already a seventeen-year-old boy......

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

Listening to Zhou Dingkun's description, Chen Ke returned to the day before yesterday, under the Anyuan Gate of Bianjing.

The people of Bianjing, who were excited, blocked the unruly Liao delegation inside the door. Although the Liao envoys are not many, the sense of superiority they have formed on the battlefield over the years makes them not afraid of these unarmed people at all. What's more, the officers and soldiers of Kaifeng Mansion should also come, right? When the time comes, their own people will be dispersed......

Just when the two sides were at a stalemate, and the officials in the distance couldn't hold it back and appeared to maintain order. A tall young man in white came out of the crowd and offered to fight the murderer to the death. And promised to let them go if they lost.

"How can you make sure they listen to you?" The deputy envoy of the Liao State looked at this young man, although he was very tall, he was clearly only seventeen or eighteen years old. And his subordinates are proficient in all kinds of fighting methods, and they are all top masters in the most elite leather room army in Daliao!

"I'll promise!" A man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist stepped forward, it was Yang Huaiyu in civilian clothes.

"And me!" A short bearded, white face as jade Cao Ping came out, the Liao envoy came, he was the receptionist, and the other party also knew the identity of his imperial relatives.

Seeing that for such a long time, no one from Kaifeng Mansion came. The Liao envoy probably couldn't do well in this matter, so he might as well respond to his scene, so he looked at his subordinates, and saw that he had already been scolded so much that he was bleeding his pupils, as if he was going to tear the Song people apart.

"Okay," he nodded, "bare hands or white blades?" ”

"Whatever." Chen Jichang took off his black robe, revealing his short clothes inside, but his hands were empty.

The murderer couldn't hold it back, and came out of the crowd, and the two sides decided to live and die under the witness of everyone. On the street where everyone got out of the way, they stood opposite each other.

The Liao envoy clamored loudly to cheer for his side, but was immediately overpowered by the voice of the Song people, until it was not heard at all. Fuck, do you know what it means to play away?

Cao Ping and Yang Huaiyu stared closely at the field, ready to rescue people if there was any accident.

I saw Chen Jichang standing for a long time, slowly raising his hand and hooking it with his index finger.

No matter how stupid the Liao man was, he knew that this was a provocation, he screamed, rushed forward, put his hands around Chen Jichang's waist, and suddenly stumbled under his feet...... This is the Khitan wrestling method, which later became also known as Mongolian-style wrestling.

Chen Jichang has been learning martial arts from his three brothers since he was a child, and with his amazing talent, he has long been familiar with various fighting techniques. As soon as the other party's hands were on his waist, his body was already leaning forward and hitting him with one shoulder. When the opponent raised his foot to stumble, his shoulder had hit the opponent's chest hard, and at this time, the opponent's foot was suspended in the air, and the supporting leg could not withstand the impact force, and fell to the ground......

The Khitan reacted quickly, and as soon as his hand hit the ground, he bounced up. Before he could stand firmly, he saw a black shadow flash, and he was hit by another elbow in the chest. The pain made his eyes darken, and it seemed as if his sternum had been broken. …,

"What's his trick?" Cao Ping has seen this practice of martial arts for the young master, it is really fancy, how can he suddenly use such a concise killing move.

"It's Tang Shou." After all, the Yang family is a general, and Yang Huaiyu has more knowledge than Cao Ping in this regard: "It is an extremely ferocious fighting technique, and every time it shoots, it pays attention to using all its strength, and the Khitan people are just starting to be careless, and they want to test the depth of Liulang." But he didn't take precautions, and as soon as he made a move, he used all his strength, and he was caught off guard for a while, and before he slowed down, he took a second ......"

During the conversation between the two, they saw Liulang holding the Khitan man's head with both hands and pressing down suddenly, and at the same time flew up and pushed up on his knees. If you do it now, your face will definitely bloom.

But the Liao man had experienced a hundred battles, and his muscles and bones were cast in copper, so he was able to stabilize his mind in severe pain, and he pulled out the short blade in his sleeve and stabbed it towards Liulang's lower abdomen, forcing him to close his legs to protect himself.

Rokuro didn't avoid it, and put one knee on the bridge of the other's nose. The sharp blade of the Khitan also pierced him in the lower abdomen.

I only heard the sound of the bell, and at the same time, a deafening howl sounded, and the nose bones of the Liao people were shattered, and their faces were covered with blood! No matter how strong his ability to resist attacks is, he can't help it. The power of resistance was completely lost.

Liulang was unmoved, and put one knee on his chin again, and the Liao's mandible shattered and fell to the ground like a rag bag, but Chen Jichang held his neck with both hands again.

"Enough!" The Liao envoy saw that if he continued to fight, he would have to be beaten to death, so he quickly shouted to stop. The guards around him also drew their swords and stepped forward to grab people.

"Blood! Debt! Blood! Repay! Chen Liulang gritted his teeth word by word, and when he drank the word 'compensation', his hands suddenly twisted, and he heard a creepy click, and the Liao man was forced to break his neck! ――
