. There was a broken sword on the table, and there were several notches in the blade, and the broken parts were tightly together, but the broken mark could not be concealed. On the table, it was still a good sword, but it could no longer be picked up. Qingshuang has been broken, Yang Hao has gone, the Qingshuang Sword at this time is like the heart of its former owner, the heart is broken, how can it heal the scars.

Folded Ziyu sat at the table, dressed in a dark robe, with a plain belt tied around his waist, quietly listening to the murmuring outside the window, and remained silent for a long time. Suddenly, the open window knocked lightly a few times, and when he looked up, he saw Zhang Shisan standing quietly under the eaves, and behind him was a rain curtain hanging from the eaves like a beaded curtain.

"Miss, the Yedan envoy entered the palace and admitted that he was the murderer of Yang Zuo's envoy."

Zhen Ziyu didn't move, and there was no look of surprise on his face, but his eyes flashed slightly, and it seemed that his fluttering thoughts had returned to his body.

Zhang 13 said again: "Jiao Sicheng, the envoy of the Song Kingdom, was furious and wanted to enter the palace to see the lord of the country, but was stopped by Huangfu Jixun. In order to fear that the envoys of the two countries would fight, Huangfu Jixun had transferred a large number of officers and soldiers to surround the embassy of the envoys of the Song State. Li Yu, the lord of the Tang Dynasty, claimed to expel the Khitan envoys, ordered Yeluwen to leave the country within a time limit, and wrote to the Song court to plead guilty. ”

A sneering smile appeared at the corner of Zhen Ziyu's mouth: "The Song people can't kill Yeluwen, Li Yu doesn't dare to kill Yeluwen, I'll come." ”

Zhang Shisan looked at her in surprise: "Miss, I'm ...... There were only two of us ......"

Excerpt Ziyu said lightly: "The time, the place, and the people, as long as they are used well, one person can kill 10,000 people." ”

Zhang 13 said uneasily: "Miss's daughter's body, she easily goes to danger, and her subordinates dare not agree." It will take a few days for the Khitan envoys to leave, and the subordinates should gather our scattered details as soon as possible, although the manpower is still insufficient, at least it is more graspable. ”

Zhe Ziyu bent her waist and stood up, her gaze crossed Zhang Shisan's shoulder, looked at the gloomy sky through the blurred rain curtain behind him, and said for a long time: "He is watching me from the sky......"

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ night is blurry, and the annoying rain has been falling for a day, and there is no intention of stopping.

Yeluwen left the palace in a hearty mood, boarded his own car, and hurried back to the pavilion under the escort of thirty-six iron guards.

Recently, his luck is really good, the matter of the lord of Jiangnan has been successfully resolved, touching the covenant that has been signed in his arms, Yeluwen smiled proudly, now he just has to wait patiently for the news of Shangjing, in order to make a stop, what should he do in the past two days, every time he kills someone, his ** is very strong, thinking of Yang Hao, who had humiliated him, was burned into a ball of charcoal, he was especially excited. But Ding Chengye's thigh injury is not light, why should he be recuperated for a few days, hmm...... It seems that you can find a few Jiangnan people and taste the taste of this Jiangnan woman.

Yeluwen opened the curtain of the sedan car with a smile, the rain was still falling, and the weather was damp and tired. This is a deep alley, is the only way to return to the pavilion, the road is a bluestone road, one end of the alley is high, the other end is low, the rain pours down along the bluestone road, wet the ground shiny.

On both sides of the road is a high courtyard wall, a small tile horse head wall of blue bricks, the courtyard occasionally reveals the simple and elegant cornices and corners, these two sides live in large households, the twilight is deep, and it rains for another day, there are no pedestrians on the street, it is very quiet. Only the lanterns hung by large families fluttered gently in the rain.

Yeluwen summoned a confidant and told him to go to the famous Qinglou brothel in Jinling to recruit a few beautiful Jiangnan beauties to the pavilion for him to be happy, but before the order was finished, the carriage suddenly stopped, Yeluwen frowned, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The driver in front of him said in a deep voice: "My lord, there is someone blocking the road ahead. ”

"Oh?" Yeluwen raised his eyebrows, pressed his waist knife, and walked out of the car, and the guard in weak clothes sitting next to the coachman immediately opened an oil-paper umbrella and raised it to his head.

Ye Luwen stood in the car and looked ahead, the long alley was coming to an end, and there was a person standing at the end of the alley, only one person, graceful and graceful, with a slender body, and a strong outfit could not hide her graceful curves.

Yeluwen smiled, his luck was really good, just thought of a woman, and here came a woman, and it was a young and beautiful woman with a moving figure.

It wasn't that he couldn't see that the woman had bad intentions, but ...... The long straight alley, with high walls on both sides, is uncovered, and there is no one in front of him, just this one woman, a woman, what can he do? Kill him in bed?

He didn't mind being killed by a woman in his bed, killing him to death.

Thirty-six guards had approached his chariot, their swords clenched, and they listened to Jeruvin's orders.

"I want to live, don't hurt her in the slightest!" Ye Luwen gave an order, and then returned to the car and sat down, of course, the sedan curtain was still high, he wanted to watch his subordinates capture this woman, see her in a strong suit, Ye Luwen only hoped that this woman's skills would not be too bad, so that it would have a taste.

As for her identity and intention, maybe she can tell her to confess while calling the bed on the warm and clean big bed. Jeruvan thought and laughed wickedly.

He suddenly noticed that the girl was laughing, too, and she smiled as the four guards drew their swords and approached her, like four wolves approaching a lamb. The cold beauty smiled, even more charming than the woman who was used to laughing, this smile was like a cloud opening to the moon, Ye Luwen's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he couldn't help leaning forward, trying to see that charming smile more clearly.

Then, he smelled that the smell of the air was a little strange, and before he could smell how strange the smell was, he saw the incomparable little beauty wearing a black suit, tying a white ribbon, and a delicate figure, throwing the torch in her hand forward, the movement was very light, very pretty, and then there was a "peng" sound, and Yeluwen's eyes became a sea of fire.

"Ahh Yes! Ah...... "All the guards were surrounded by a sea of fire in an instant, the whole ground was on fire, the entire long alley was on fire, the high flames were like red lotuses, steaming up, and in a moment all the people in the fire became fire people."

"How so, how so?" Yeluwen was stunned and inexplicable, and before he could urge, the coachman had shaken the reins of his horse in panic, trying to drive the frightened and screaming horses out of the fire, but a loud roar broke through the air, and the coachman was also a master of riding and archery, and he knew very well that such a strong sound was not shot from a bow, it was a crossbow, a repeater, a crossbow with ten arrows.

The coachman subconsciously leaned down, but found that the crossbow was not a man at all, but a horse, and the horse neighed and screamed, and the coachman and one of the guards on the carriage fell to the ground, and were immediately caught in the flames.

The terrible ghost-like screams rang out, and Yeluwen sat in the car, and was not burned by the fire for a while, but there was already a sea of fire all around, and the sedan curtain was burning, and he couldn't stay any longer, Yeluwen roared, tore off the leather cushion spread on the seat to protect his head and face, and jumped to the ground.

It was impossible for him to run back along the long alley, the fire was raging, the whole ground was dripping with oil, the alley was high at one end and low at the other, and before he ran to the end, he would have to be buried in the flames, knowing that there was a black-clothed girl in front of him, and at least one crossbowman hiding in the dark, but he couldn't care about it now.

Yeluwen ran forward quickly, and suddenly bumped into a guard who was on fire and screaming wildly, Yeluwen knocked the burning guard out, and the mat on fire in his hand also fell to the ground, Yeluwen ran forward as hard as he could, his eyebrows, beard and hair were burned by the flames, and his legs were already on fire, and he couldn't care about it at all. He can't die here, he can't die in the hands of a woman, he wants to be the emperor, he will become the greatest emperor in the history of the Khitan, he will sweep the Central Plains and dominate the world, he is destined to return, how can he die? How is it possible to die like this?

The muscles burned and blistered, and he couldn't open his eyes, Yeluwen finally ran out of the fire, and when he felt a cold moment in front of him, he knew that he had escaped from the fire, and when his eyes opened, he saw that the long-haired black-clothed girl was holding a few thin ropes in her hands, which should be made of hardware, because some ropes were extended into the fire, but they were not burned.

She looked at Yeluwen who escaped from the fire like a burning man, and smiled suddenly, smiling so beautifully, but Yeluwen was like a ghost, only to see her hand raised, suddenly pulled hard, and pulled a silk thread in her hand like a fishing net, Yeluwen looked along the silk thread, only to see that several silk threads exposed outside the fire were extended to the walls on both sides, and then he found that there was a mouth jar on the wall, and it was not clear in the night, and then the flame was bright and clear.

As soon as the rope was pulled, the jar fell to the ground, and with a bang, the fire oil overflowed, and the flames burned the sky even more turbulently. At the same time as the flames burst, Yeluwen's chest shook, and two eight-inch-long iron crossbows shot him in the chest. The crossbow was extremely powerful, and the iron crossbow shot through his body, flying into the sea of fire with a cloud of blood mist, bringing Yeluwen's burly body backwards, and being forced back by the wave of fire.

He stared at the girl in black unwillingly, her scalp was burning, her face was covered with blood blisters, she looked like a ghost, he supported the ground with a knife, took a sharp breath of air, and screamed and threw herself at the girl in black clothes, "Poof! Burst! Two more iron crossbows pierced his body, and Yeluwen showed a smile that was more ugly than crying, with the blood blisters on his face, as hideous as a ghost.

Yeluwen slowly fell, the fire spreading, his feet were engulfed in tongues of fire, and his body twitched again and again, but he no longer had the strength to move, and the sparkle in his eyes was gradually dimming. Four iron crossbows pierced through the intestines, and the arrow feathers had already stirred up the internal organs, and the Da Luo Immortal could not save his life, and the girl had never touched him from beginning to end.

A man slipped down from the tree in front of him, ran to the front, and threw his crossbow into the flames, and the girl turned her back and commanded faintly, "Throw him back and burn him to charcoal!" ”

The man stepped forward, Yeluwen was still staring at the girl, she had turned around, Yeluwen never saw her face clearly, her body turned, her face was half sideways, it was really "the mountains are high and the moon is small, and the water is falling out", compared to many Central Plains beauties, her facial features are more exquisite, the contours are more distinct, and the lines are clearer, and then, Yeluwen only sees her back.

Under the delicate and small ears of ingots hang two black gems, and the gems have a pair of strange veins, like two snake eyes, shining in the firelight. The beautiful neck is as elegant as a swan, the milk-white skin is like a beautiful jade carving, and the black snake eyes are shining with a strange light, she is really beautiful, and the beauty is shocking...... A big foot obscured his obsessive vision, and the big foot didn't care that he was a noble royal lord, and kicked him in the face, and the sound of his nose bone breaking was heard clearly, and he was kicked against the smooth bluestone ground and slipped into the fire. The fire was raging all around, infinite light, he had fallen into the dark land forever, and there was no breath left, and the fire devoured his body, and also swallowed the covenant in his arms......※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ "Lord of the country, Lord of the country......"

Ye Yu panted and ran into the Qingliang Palace, Li Yu's mood is not cool at all, although he signed an alliance with Yeluwen, and mustered up the courage to try to fight with the Song State for survival and hegemony, but he was always apprehensive in his heart, and he was not even interested in his favorite poems and chess.

Li Yu was distraught, and was about to summon the little master of the Daoist monk of Jiming Temple to enter the palace overnight to calculate the future of good luck and evil for him, when he saw Ye Yu running in panting. Li Yu was now very afraid that something would happen, so he immediately jumped up in fear and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Ye Yu gasped for breath, pointed outside and said, "Yay...... Yes...... The envoy of Yelu was killed on the way back to the pavilion, and the long alley turned into a sea of fire, and thirty-six guards, a coachman, and two healthy horses were all buried in the fire, and they were all burned to charcoal......

"Bang!" Li Yu fell back into the chair with a thud like a half-sack, and then bounced up like a ball, roaring loudly: "What is that bastard doing in Huangfu Jixun? Didn't Lone tell him to watch the envoys of the Song Kingdom closely and not let them take revenge, how could it be...... How could such an incident come about? Lonely will cure his sins, and Lonely will destroy all his doors! ”

Li Yu said angry words in the nest, but Ye Yu's face was full of sweat, and he said in a trembling voice: "Lord of the country, what should I do now?" The envoys of the Song State and the Khitan envoys all died in my Tang Kingdom, and we ...... What should we do? ”

"What does it have to do with Lonely?"

Li Yu waved his hand and said incoherently: "The Khitan envoy killed the envoy of the Song State, and the envoy of the Song State retaliated against the Khitan envoy, treating them like guests, they want to kill and kill, what does it have to do with Lone?" ”

He took a quick turn in the hall twice, and knew that this kind of scoundrel could not cope with the interrogation of the Khitan and Song Kingdom, so he stomped his foot and shouted: "Go and summon Xu Xuan and Chen Qiao." ”

"Yes!" Ye Yu grinded, just discerned the direction, and before he could leave, Li Yu suddenly shouted again: "Spread the decree, tell Huangfu Jixun to be kind to the Song envoy, don't ...... Don't restrain them too much and anger them. ”

Today he signed an alliance with Yeluwen, and his heart was already biased towards the Khitan, but now that Yeluwen died, Li Yu was intimidated by the Song people's cruel revenge methods, and the balance in his heart gradually fell to the side of the Song people, and the little courage he had just mustered disappeared, and he was afraid of angering the Song people.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ Yang Hao was assassinated tragically in the fireboat, and then the attitude of the Tang ** team changed greatly, Jiao Sicheng was angry and angry, and went to Huangfu Jixun to protest, Huangfu Jixun was full of laughter, scolding and not annoyed, and beating was not angry, anyway, they were not allowed to leave the pavilion, and the Tang soldiers surrounded the courtyard of the Song people, and they were very strictly restrained and placed under house arrest.

Jiao Sicheng had no choice but to return to the pavilion, pondering the change in the attitude of the Tang Kingdom, and felt that there must be a reason, so he asked the commander Zhang Tongzhou to discuss countermeasures, and the two discussed for a long time, but they couldn't come up with a proposal.

Zhang Tongzhou, as a military attache of the mission, lost the life of his ambassador, knowing that he had a heavy responsibility, he was full of panic and inexplicable, but he couldn't stop sighing: "Yang Zuo's envoy died tragically, we did nothing, and lost the face of the Song State. ”

Jiao Sicheng said with a gloomy face: "It's okay for us to be punished, looking at the Tang people's formation today, I'm afraid that Li Yu is also afraid of the arrogance of the Khitan people." The Khitan people are getting hotter and hotter, and the more unfavorable they are to us. Fear...... I waited for this time to envoy Tang Guo to achieve nothing, and this time I went back, it would be light to lose my official position and resign......"

Zhang Tongzhou sighed: "If you lose your official position, you will lose your official position, now Tang Sheng is afraid that we will seek revenge against the Khitans, and take care of us like criminals." It's okay for this official, you don't know, the soldiers under the command of this official are the guards in front of the official family in Kaifeng City, and they are empty and arrogant. When I arrived in the Tang Kingdom, there was the support of the left envoy, and it was still a show of martial arts, and it was impossible to be a lifetime, and now I was looked at by other prisoners, and these soldiers were not angry with seven or eight of them, and even with me, the chief officer had a nose that was not a nose and an eye, alas, this official was also a well-known man, and it was a shame to poke me in the backbone like this! ”

The more Jiao Sicheng listened, the more irritated he became, he stood up and paced hurriedly, thinking hard about the predicament in front of him, when he suddenly noticed some unusual movement outside, and walked to the window to take a look, only to see those Tang soldiers with their knives out of their sheaths and bows out of the courtyard like a tide, and couldn't help but say in surprise: "What's wrong?" ”

Zhang Tongzhou jumped up and looked at the courtyard and said, "I'll go find out." ”

Zhang Tongzhou went out for less than a pillar of incense, so he rushed back in a hurry and said excitedly: "Lord Sicheng, Yeluwen is dead, hahaha, Yeluwen is dead." ”

Jiao Sicheng looked at him in disbelief and said in surprise: "Yeluwen is dead? How can it be? ”

Zhang Tongzhou smiled and said: "Who dares to joke about this kind of thing, it was Huangfu Jixun himself." Hey, this person is really a genius who sees the wind and rudder, when he sees this official, he is very polite to me, although he doesn't dare to say that we sent someone to kill Yeluwen, but he believes that Yeluwen died in our hands, looking at his flattering and scared look, this official really wants to laugh three times in front of him. ”

Jiao Sicheng hurriedly said: "Lord Zhang, how did Yeluwen die, you can tell me clearly." ”

Zhang Tongzhou said what he had heard from Huangfu Jixun, and Jiao Sicheng believed it, and he said in disbelief: "Who killed Yeluwen?" What is the purpose? ”

Zhang Tongzhou said with a smile: "It doesn't matter who killed him, if this person dies, it will be a happy thing." ”

At this time, the soldiers in the courtyard of the Song envoy had learned the news one after another, and the cheers began to spread one after another, Jiao Sicheng stood at the window, looking at the soldiers running happily in the courtyard with his eyebrows locked, and saw a commotion in the Khitan Pavilion on the opposite side, and many Tang soldiers rushed over, as if they wanted to suppress the riot.

Jiao Sicheng looked at it for a long time, his eyes flickered, becoming more and more gloomy, he suddenly turned around and said to the elated Zhang Tongzhou: "Yeluwen's death is certainly very happy, but ...... What help can you and the general, and the old man and me? ”

Zhang Tongzhou was stunned and said, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Jiao Sicheng said with a calm face: "Yang Zuo's envoy is still dead, and you and I are still unable to escape the punishment of the imperial court." Yeluwen's death, although the word of the public has been counted on you and me, even if we deny it, but can we hide it from the people of the world and the more than 100 soldiers in the courtyard? They are all people who walk in front of the official family, who dares to prevaricate the official family when you and I go back? ”

Zhang Tongzhou's eyes flashed slightly, and he hurriedly asked: "My lord must have made up his mind, and the lower officials are willing to hear the details." ”

Jiao Sicheng smiled deeply, and said slowly: "Do you know, is there a story about Ban Chao?" ”

Zhang Tongzhou rolled his eyes and asked, "Who is Ban Chao?" ”

Jiao Sicheng was stunned and said: "Ban Chao is a famous envoy in the Han Dynasty, once he led thirty-six subordinates to envoy Shanshan, King Shanshan first greeted him with cold and warmth, and was respectful, and then suddenly changed his attitude, slack and cold. Ban Chao noticed something was wrong, and learned that the Xiongnu envoys had arrived, the Xiongnu and the Han had always been enemies, and the king of Shanshan wanted to lean towards the Xiongnu, so he was indifferent to the Han envoys, and even gradually became murderous. Ban Chao then made a few people set fire, a few people beat the drum to confuse the enemy, the rest of the ambush on both sides of the Hun door, take advantage of the night surprise attack, annihilation of the Hun messenger, Shanshan King was shocked, no longer dare to waver, had to die to the Han Dynasty. ”

Zhang Tongzhou suddenly suddenly shouted: "Lord Sicheng wants to follow Banchao and attack the Khitan mission? ”

Jiao Sicheng smiled deeply and was silent, Zhang Tongzhou thought for a while, and hesitated: "Lord Sicheng, our situation today is different from the past Ban Chao, follow Ban Chao's example...... Is it appropriate, will it be ...... Messing things out of hand? ”

Jiao Sicheng smiled: "Now it's out of control, Yeluwen's death, no matter how you explain it, the Khitans and the Tang people will definitely count it on you and me." Now you have also seen that as soon as Yeluwen died, Li Yu was more respectful to us, the Khitan envoys were all dead, what kind of great sin was it to kill all his guards? As for the official family, stretching out the head and shrinking the head is also a knife, we can only fight it! ”

Zhang Tongzhou pondered for a long time, bit the root of his teeth, and said with a fierce look in his eyes: "It's done!" ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ Jeruvan is dead!

When he heard the news, Ding Chengye couldn't believe his ears, Yeluwen was dead, where should he go? Even if there is news from the Khitan side, what if King Qing successfully usurps the throne? They are all alive and well, but King Qing's beloved son Yeluwen died in the Southern Tang Dynasty, if they return to the Khitan, they will not be greeted by high-ranking officials Houlu, but only sharp steel knives.

Ding Chengye limped up, collected some pearls and jade that Tang Guo gave to Yeluwen and hid them on his body, thinking about how to escape. Khitan he never dared to go back, and he hadn't met the Lu life that Yan Jiu confessed to when he was dying, and he had long lost hope in his heart. The ambitions of the past are worn out little by little, and he does not want to be as beautiful as the second child of the Ding family in the past, but only hopes to live a peaceful life without worrying about food and clothing.

The warriors in the pavilion heard that Yeluwen died tragically, and they went to find the Song people with red eyes one by one, but they were driven back by the emperor Jixun, these warriors were leaderless, and after they came back, they just drank and scolded, and the wine jar was thrown all over the courtyard, and when they were drunk, some people shouted and fought, and the elegant and beautiful concierge house was not a disaster.

Ding Chengye watched coldly, neither came forward to stop it, nor did he take this opportunity to escape. He can't escape now, his leg injury hasn't healed yet, his sister is still following him, he fled to the Khitan sister can find him, and when he goes out at this time, isn't he going to give her a sword?

Tossing and turning, sleepless in the middle of the night, Ding Chengye remembered from the beginning, it seemed that all bad luck started from Yan Jiu bewitching him to compete for the position of the head of the Ding family, he couldn't help but stroke the sword sores on his thighs, gritted his teeth and scolded bitterly, if Yan Jiu could appear in front of him alive now, Ding Chengye would definitely not hesitate to strangle him again, so as to eliminate the hatred in his heart.

In the middle of the night, Ding Chengye just had a trace of drowsiness, and suddenly heard a noise, Ding Chengye was like a frightened bird, immediately jumped up, jumped to the window on one leg and looked out, and saw that the corner of the Song Pavilion was on fire, and the Tang army, which was responsible for maintaining law and order on both sides, had concentrated there.

Ding Chengye was puzzled, could it be that the Khitan warriors in the pavilion took advantage of the night to sneak attack the Song people? As soon as Ding Chengye thought of this, he saw a gap revealed by the mobilization of the Tang army, and a sentry of men and horses came out of the courtyard of the Song people, one by one holding a torch and a sharp blade in the other, rushing towards his courtyard like flying.

Ding Chengye opened his mouth, finally woke up, and immediately went back to put on his coat, but he didn't sleep until midnight, his clothes were neatly dressed, he hurriedly put on his coat, put on his boots, and limped out of the door, the whole courtyard was full of murderous sounds, the guards of the Song State Forbidden Army were used to being uncles in the past, when did they receive such a bird spirit, tonight there were Jiao Sicheng and Zhang Commander support, and they played a high-sounding name, these forbidden army guards raised their eyebrows, rushed into the Khitan courtyard, and killed people when they touched the courtyard.

The Khitan people are good at drinking, and no one dares to drink more because of Yeluwen's constraints, and tonight they borrowed wine to drown their sorrows, but no one stopped them, and many people were drunk. They just wanted to break into the Song Pavilion to kill people and vent their anger, who would have thought that the Song people were more ruthless than them, the general and the thirty-six personal guards were all burned to charcoal, they didn't give up, they even took advantage of the night to kill, and put on a fierce posture full of destruction.

Caught off guard, many Khitan warriors were beheaded in their sleep, and those who got up in Cangcuo were disheveled, with difficult weapons, and those who were panicked were not the enemies of the Song people. A few days ago, the Song people were humiliated by the Khitans under the command of Zhang, and if it weren't for Yang Hao to stand up for them, this face would have been lost. Tonight is not only to avenge Yang Zuo's envoy, but also to vent his anger, the forbidden army warriors are killed, roaring and shouting to search house by house, slaughtering and poking like killing pigs and sheep.

Huangfu Jixun didn't want to have another accident now, as soon as he saw the fire in the Song Army Pavilion Station, he was scared to jump up, led the soldiers to fight the fire, and ran to the Song Dynasty Pavilion Station, and saw a pile of tables, chairs and benches piled up in the courtyard to chop wood, the fire was burning, followed by the sound of fighting in the Khitan Pavilion and the steps shook the sky, Huangfu Jixun knew that he was fooled, and led the men and horses to turn back immediately.

As soon as he arrived in front of the Khitan Pavilion, he saw Jiao Sicheng wearing an official robe, an official hat, a silverfish bag hanging on his belt, holding a sparse feather duster in one hand, and a golden axe in the other.

Before Huangfu Jixun could speak, Jiao Sicheng had already shouted angrily: "The Khitan people killed me, and this official will pay for his blood debt today." Jiao is holding the Song Dynasty Jieyue in his hand, if Tang still regards himself as a vassal of the Song State, he will obediently retreat to the side, if General Huangfu insists on standing up for the Khitans, then step on Jiao's corpse and kill it! ”

When Huangfu Jixun heard this, he immediately repeated the old tune and expressed neutrality.

Ding Chengye saw the opportunity early, escaped from the bedroom and hid all the way, touched into the dining room, saw the Song warriors with steel knives and spears in their hands to search house by house, but they were not left, and looked around in a hurry, and suddenly saw an oil-stained robe hanging behind the door, hurriedly snatched it and put it on his body, and then broke the bun, smeared a few ashes on the bun and face, and curled up to the corner.

When the Song warriors searched the dining room, Ding Chengye screamed, and begged in a trembling voice: "Uncle Bing spares his life, it's not the villain's business, the villain is just a little guy cooking on the fire in the stove room, the villain is a Han, not a Khitan dog." ”

"Huh?" The bearded warrior of the forbidden army raised his torch and looked at him twice, Ding Chengye has rarely appeared in front of people since he arrived in the Tang Kingdom, the colonel of the forbidden army really had no impression of him, seeing that he did not look like a Khitan, and spoke fluent Chinese, he said: "The Khitan dogs are going to be killed by grandpa, you still burn bird rice, get out." ”

Ding Chengye bowed and said: "The killing sound outside shook the sky, and the villain was so bluffed that his legs were weak, and he really didn't dare to move." ”

The little colonel laughed, kicked him and scolded: "Unproductive waste, then you will squat in the corner, and when grandpa kills all the Khitan dogs, you will not be too late to leave, hahaha......"

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ Li Yu summoned Chen Qiao, Xu Xuan and others to talk all night, Li Yu was frightened by the Song people's methods, and his will was shaken again, but Chen Qiao persuaded him: "The lord of the country does not need to worry, according to the opinion of the ministers, Yeluwen's death is more beneficial to us, although the covenant in Yeluwen's hands is broken, but we still have a copy in our hands." The Khitans sent him to sign an alliance with us, with the intention of benefiting the other country, and not to be abolished by people. They died a Yeluwen, and the Khitan court could naturally choose another person to be the lord of that country.

And we can wait and see what happens, and advance and retreat more casually. If they succeed in usurping the throne, the Song army really goes on a northern expedition, and the elite folds in Saibei, we might as well cooperate with it, although the Khitans boast that Haikou wants to seek the Central Plains, but according to the minister's opinion, the Song generals are like clouds, and the elite armor is good? The Khitan people want to seek the Central Plains, but it is just two tigers fighting, they are deadlocked, and my Tang State plays a pivotal role in it, which is a good opportunity for the rise of my Tang Kingdom, and I must not let it go. If they can't help but win the Song army, or if the usurpation fails, the alliance is only in the hands of the lord, and my Tang State is still a vassal of the Song State, who knows that we have intended to swear an alliance with the Khitan? ”

Li Yu nodded frequently when he heard this, and he was thinking about the pros and cons, when the inner servants suddenly ran in, panting and said: "The lord of the country, the lord of the country, Jiao Haitao, the deputy envoy of the Song State, asks to see him." ”

"Alone!" Li Yu blushed his face and said, "In the middle of the night, do you still want to meet him?" What is this place when Lonely? Huangfu Jixun is also a bastard, he let the Khitan and the Song envoys choose between the protocol house, but only to do nothing, at this time he actually let him out, if this deputy envoy of the Song State was killed by the Khitan people again, and there were accidents again and again, how could there be a lonely face? ”

The chamberlain whispered a few words softly in his ear, Li Yu was stunned for a moment, and then his cheeks were red as blood, he roared angrily, grabbed the jade ruler on the case and threw it on the ground, the jade ruler fell on the gold brick and smashed it, Li Yu trembled all over his body and shouted: "Robbers, they are all robbers, they regard my Tang Pavilion as a battlefield, open fire to fight, fight and kill, is there still Tang Guo in their eyes, and there is Lone, the lord of Jiangnan?" ”

Xu Xuan and Chen Qiao looked at each other, and the attendant knew that Li Yu was angry, and said in fear: "Yes, yes, the slave asked him to go back and come back tomorrow." ”

"Wait!" Li Yu's chest rose and fell, and he endured anger for a long time before he waved his hand gloomily: "Please...... The Song envoy is waiting in the Beichen Palace! ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ "Little master, there is a big thing that is difficult to solve, now there are northerners, people from the north can be friends and enemies, both are tigers and wolves, lonely and uncertain, the little master Buddhism is profound, peek into the will of heaven, can you point to the maze?" ”

Early in the morning, after the end of the dynasty in a hurry, Li Yu rushed to the Jiming Temple, looking for an opportunity to take away the treasure mirror master and a group of monks, and asked the wall in a hesitant manner.

When Bisu heard it, how could this thing, like me, speak ambiguously and vaguely, he didn't do it as a good emperor, and he didn't want to pretend to be a god?

Bi Su hurriedly turned his thoughts in his heart, smiled leisurely, and pretended to be profound: "The lord of the country has heard that it is difficult to save the fire from far water, and distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. ”

"It is difficult to save a fire from far water, and distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors."

Li Yu silently recited it twice, and if he realized, he hesitated: "This ...... Lone understands the meaning of the monk's enlightenment, but this close neighbor is not a good person, in Lone's opinion, it is more difficult than that distant relative, Lone intends to climb that distant relative, I don't know if it is feasible? ”

Bi Su scolded in his heart: "You have already made up your mind, and you still came to ask me what I am doing, do you entertain your thief grandfather?" ”

His face remained silent, and he said slowly: "Although the tiger in the distant mountains is fierce, the wolf in close proximity is even more difficult. If the lord of the country is willing to seek the near and far, there will be a great disaster, the little monk monk does not speak, the lord of the country can think carefully, within ten days, you will see the details. ”

Li Yu heard what he said with a nose and eyes, and couldn't help but be moved: "You can see it in ten days?" ”

Bisu proclaimed a Buddha horn, looked at the nose, looked at the nose, looked at the heart, and said no more.

Seeing this, Li Yu had no choice but to say: "Thank you for the designation of the little master, the lonely will wait for ten days, and look at the style." ”

Bi Su smiled secretly in his heart: "Just look at your style, now the wind is tight, the adults are hiding, in a few days the limelight has passed, I will coax the little master, and go to Shaohua Mountain with my adult to enjoy the blessings, the master of virtue is accurate or not, and it has nothing to do with this bald donkey." ”

Sent Li Yu away, Bisu flicked on the bald head, and easily entered the Hall of Merit, as soon as he entered the hall, he saw a monk pulling and pulling with a slender plain-clothed woman in the smoke of cigarettes. ”

The monk turned his head to see that it was Bisu, and hurriedly said: "Chengkong has seen the abbot's uncle, uncle, Chengkong doesn't dare to break the precepts." This woman wants to set up a tablet for her family to enjoy incense in my Jiming Temple's merit hall, but we have to pay a thousand yuan for sesame oil in our Jiming Temple's merit hall, and the sesame oil money donated by this woman is not enough, how dare the little monk agree, so the dispute began. ”

Bisu looked at the girl, tall and tall, willow eyebrows and almond eyes, nose like greasy, with a bit of softness in her heroic spirit, she was wearing a plain white clothes like snow, although it was not sackcloth, but it seemed to be carrying filial piety.

The woman is pretty, a filial piety, even if there is only a five-point woman wearing a filial piety clothes, there is also a very delicate dress, not to mention that this woman is already graceful, handsome facial features, when she saw the wall, her voice immediately softened, he seemed to bow to the girl, and asked: "I don't know who the female donor wants to make meritorious tablets?" ”

Hearing that this young monk is actually the abbot of Jiming Temple, the handsome girl is also surprised, to listen to the wall Su asked, but can't help but evoke her own sadness, her eyes are red, and she replied: "Master Abbot, the girl wants to set up a tablet for her brother." My brother was killed in a tragic state. Brother was kind to people before his death, but suffered this disaster for no reason, the believer was grief-stricken, heard that Jiming Temple is the first temple in the south of the Yangtze River, the incense is prosperous, the believer wants to set up a merit tablet for the brother here, pray for the brother to be blessed, so that the brother can be reborn in bliss. It's just that I'm shy in my pocket, and I do everything I have, but I only have more than 800 yuan, and I hope that the abbot master will be merciful and leave a place for my brother in this hall of merit. ”

Bisu listened, looked into her hand, and saw that she was holding a handful of gold, silver, pearls and jade, all kinds of variegated property, obviously she had poured everything she had, and couldn't help but curse in her heart: "It's really dark, it's just a small wooden sign erected on this merit platform, and you have to collect 1,000 taels of white flowers and silver from others, why don't you grab it?" ”

Bisu took out a pearl from the belongings held by the white-clothed girl and said, "Amitabha, life and death are impermanent, let's mourn and change on the benefactor's day." The poor monk took pity on you with sincerity, accepted your bead, and allowed you to set up a plaque for Brother Ling in the Hall of Merit. ”

Monk Chengkong shouted on the side: "Uncle Abbot......"

"Shut up! Don't you want to take the female donor to write the tablet, do you want to beg for a fight? ”

Monk Chengkong replied stupidly, and led the girl in white to go.

The tablet was written, offered to the merit platform, lit three pillars of incense and inserted it into the incense burner, the girl in white knelt on the futon, bowed three times, prayed silently for a moment, and couldn't help but burst into tears again: "Second brother, the door of the house is dilapidated, the characters are two wrong, I was looking forward to the day when you and my brothers and sisters can release their past suspicions and rebuild their homes, but I didn't expect ......"

She choked up and said: "Second brother, he fled again, the second brother has a spirit in the sky, please bless my sister to find this disobedient person who killed her father and brother, and clean up the portal." When the big event is over, my sister will come to pick up the second brother and go home, and the second brother ......"

She wept and worshipped to the ground, and worshiped for a long time, and then went away with tears in her eyes.

Bisu walked around outside, and when he couldn't see the white-clothed girl, he called Chengkong and said angrily: "You are so bold, this abbot has already accepted the beads of the girl and promised to set up a spiritual seat for her brother on the merit platform, why did you drive people away?" ”

Chengkong shouted when he heard it: "Wronged, Uncle Abbot, that girl has already set up a tablet, and she has left after crying and sacrificing, and the abbot has agreed, how dare the master and nephew drive her away, abbot, you see, the tablet of the girl's brother is here, oh, the ink has not dried yet." ”

Bisu Zhanyan smiled: "It's good that I didn't bomb people away, that girl is pitiful." His gaze swept over the tablet, his body shook suddenly, and he looked at it again, and rushed up with an arrow, and copied the tablet in his hand.

"The spirit of the deceased brother Yang Hao, sister, Ding's jade falls."

Ding Yuluo and Bisu had a relationship in Qingshui Town back then, but the two had never dealt with each other head-on, and they had changed a lot from each other, so they didn't know each other. Bisu saw the spirit card, gasped for air, grabbed the tablet and ran out, and the monk Chengkong asked blankly: "Uncle Abbot, where did you take the tablet?" ”

Bi Su said: "My lord is alive and well, set up a tablet here, and don't curse people to death." ”

He didn't look back, raised the tablet in his hand and said: "Uncle Shi think about it carefully, the sesame oil money is donated less, and thousands of people in our temple are eating, and when Uncle Shi catches up with her, he will ask for some ......more."

As he spoke, he kept running out of the Hall of Merit, Cheng Kong pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "It's really you, the master of the Mandarin Duck Temple, and the abbot uncle who teaches the Merry Teachings, are merciful, I'm sorry!" ”

Bisu ran out of the Hall of Merit, searched all the way out of the Jiming Temple, stood outside the mountain gate and looked around, pilgrims came and went, the river was endless, but where could I still find a handsome girl in white......※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ Tang State Protocol House regained its calm, like being caught in the bellows, the angry Huangfu Jixun also took people away with relief. The Khitan envoys were slaughtered in pieces, and now it is impossible to fight anymore, what is the purpose of stationing an army in the protocol courtyard?

Li Yu had the intention of provoking the dispute between the envoys of the two countries, but he never wanted the important people on either side to have a mistake, but the development of the situation was no longer under his control, when he had the intention to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight on his own territory, it was inevitable that he would involve himself in it, and now how to give an explanation to the Song State and the Khitan, and be able to keep himself out of the matter, it really made Li Yu very sad.

At this time, the Song envoys were quiet, Jiao Sicheng had provoked the Khitan envoys and killed Yang Hao, and when he and Zhang Tongzhou suffered a serious provocation in the prestige of the Song Kingdom, how did they follow Ban Chao's example, and the experience of fighting the Khitan envoys was rendered with a wonderful pen and then sent a fast horse to report to Bianliang, as for whether it was merit or fault, he was like a gambler waiting for the opening of the market, and could only wait for the decision of the Zhao official family.

The corpses of Yang Hao and others, as well as the corpses of the soldiers killed in the night attack on the Khitan embassy, were placed in coffins in the courtyard in the corner of the post house, and the old officials of the two pavilions were guarded there.

Late at night, the two old officials, Wen Shao and Zhang Desheng, hobbled around with lanterns, and then yawned and walked to their residence.

Wen Zhen sighed: "Alas, no matter how famous and authoritative the reputation is during his lifetime, after death, it is just a coffin place, what is there to fight for, look at these individuals, the death is really miserable, why bother, like us, the wife is peaceful, the life of the lady and the child, isn't it good?" ”

"Hey, everyone has their own ambitions. It's true that death is a coffin, but can it be the same when you are alive? I heard that Yang Zuo made those two ladies as beautiful as fairies, otherwise Yang Zuo made us Jiangnan, why did he quietly bring the two ladies here? I can't do without it, the result is ...... Alas! ”

The two of them sighed, Zhang Desheng carried a lantern, and walked in front with a smile: "Old Wen, like us, if you say it's good, it's not about fame and fortune, in fact, we don't have that opportunity, if there are high-ranking officials and beautiful flowers, don't you want to move?" Do you still remember the Qin weak Lan Qin girl sent by Han Xianggong when the Tao Gu Tao University of the Zhou Dynasty sent us to the south of the Yangtze River a few years ago? That's called a handsome, just look at it and make people panic, we are all so old, and we are all moved when we see that little lady, you say that Tao University Scholar can not be fooled? Oh, old Wen, where have you been? ”

Zhang Desheng turned his head suddenly, and found that Wen Shao was gone, and couldn't help but stop in surprise, and looked around to see him, Zhang Desheng was just about to shout, and suddenly someone patted him on the shoulder, Zhang Desheng sighed, and scolded with a smile: "The people who are half cut into the ground, and they still engage in this kind of trick, scaring my old Zhang?" ”

As soon as he turned around, he was shocked to see an unfamiliar face appear in front of him. The man in front of him stood in the night, his facial features were victorious, and as soon as he turned around, his attention was attracted by the man's eyes, which were dark and bright, as deep as two whirlpools, absorbing his mind and making him have no time to care.

"What's your name?"

The voice was very soft, but there was an irresistible meaning, Zhang Desheng subconsciously replied: "The old decay Zhang Desheng is the old official in this post house." ”

"Very good, take me and show me the coffin of Yang Hao, the envoy of the Song Kingdom."

Zhang Desheng was like an evil spirit, his eyes were straight, and he replied blankly: "Yes!" Then he turned and walked obediently to the hall where the coffin was placed.

After the doors and windows of the hall were closed, several torches were lit in the room, except for Zhang Desheng and Wen Shao, who were standing there like a chicken, holding a lantern in their hands, and four people, all four of them were masked, a tall and thin man, and his eyes were unusually bright. A stout fat man, with extremely vigorous demeanor and movements, he was clearly the leader of the four, standing there with his hands firmly in his hands. The other two were of medium stature, neither fat nor thin, but they didn't see anything different.

Zhang Desheng pointed out Yang Hao's coffin, and with a wave of his hand, two masked men of medium stature walked over quickly, and the crowbar in his hand pried up the coffin. The coffin creaked, and it looked extremely terrifying in this hall full of coffins and swaying firelight, but except for the two old officials in the hall who had lost their minds, the other four people were not idle, and they were not afraid.

The coffin was pried open, and the two of them were not in a hurry, bent down to check the whole body first, reported the actual height they had calculated, fat and thin, and said: "Although this person has been burned and curled up and his flesh and blood damaged, the actual length and thinness estimated by his subordinates are very different from the person that Gongzi said. ”

One of them stretched out his hand and took out a rope from his bosom, leaned down into the coffin, and did not know where the body was trapped, but the other end was attached to himself, and he straightened his waist and took the body up.

The other man immediately took out a silver needle with a swift hand, first pricked the throat and then the chest, examined them one by one, and said, "The deceased is not poisoned. ”

The man who lassoed the corpse carefully examined the corpse's unrecognizable facial features, tongue, and sword sores on the abdomen, and was very skillful and sophisticated. The body was almost charred, and the flesh and skin were tightened and charred, but the two of them looked at it with relish as if they had words written on it.

"There was no soot in the mouth or nose of the corpse, the elbow of the left arm was burned, the left arm was curled up, the knee bones of both legs were burned, the legs were curled up, the elbow bone of the right arm was intact, and the right arm was loose and not curled up. The deceased should have died before the fire. ”

A man calmly uttered the above analysis after careful searching, and his voice faintly echoed in the hollow, cold hall.

The other man raised his head from the abdomen of the corpse, and while pulling off the holster in his hand, he said: "The abdomen is indeed a sword wound, but there are two different wounds. First, from the point of view of the wound, the strength of the sword and the sword are insufficient, and the wound is straight, Gongzi once said that this person was fighting at the bow of the boat when the sword was swords, how could the opponent gently take out the sword? The wound was so small and so straight that it seemed to have placed a person flat on the ground and then inserted a sword in the abdomen. Second, the wound entanglement scars are caused by fire, the wound site is actually smooth, no rolling, the blood of the living person surges, and the wound will roll outward after the skin is lacerated, and the person is ...... when the sword is struck. He should have been a dead man. ”

The fat man let out a long breath, and the masked towel was slightly raised. He raised his hand, pinched his chin thoughtfully, and the sleeves slipped off, revealing a tattoo on his arm, the tattoo was a picture of a landscape, and there were five small characters next to it'Lieyue Wudianqing', he muttered to himself: "This is interesting, I only left once, and he took a large amount of money to say what kind of running boat business, but his business partner was stuffed in Bianliang Maodong, and he had no intention of raising Zhang Luo." Now that he is 'dead' so strangely, what the hell does he want to do? ”

After pondering for a moment, he laughed strangely and said, "Cover the coffin untouched!" ”

"Yes!"

The man of medium stature carefully restored the corpse and went to lift the coffin lid on the ground, while the tall and thin man with strange eyes paced in front of Zhang Desheng and Wen Zhen on the spot, his fingers opened and closed in a strange posture, and said dreamily: "You have inspected the courtyard, nothing has happened, go back to your residence and sleep in peace......

The fat man turned around, walked out of the court with his hands in his hands, and commanded lightly: "Use all our strength in the Tang Kingdom, even if you dig three feet into the ground, we must dig out this 'dead' Lord Yang for me!" ”
