Outside Yanjing City, the moon is dark and the wind is high, and the north wind is howling. Xuanqi took more than ten people to stay in a village store.

"How many masters are they sharpening or staying in the hotel?" The waiter warmly welcomed them to sit down.

"Ten upper rooms. Cook us some hot soup, boil more hot water for bathing, and feed our horses some good food. Pang Tao said.

"Guest officer, the small shop is running on a small budget, can you prepay for the room?" The waiter smiled.

"Yes, give him the money." Xuanqi Road.

Pang Tao took out the silver ingot and put it in the waiter's hand, and the waiter touched the bottom of the ingots and engraved the word Chu, and said with a smile: "Yes!" A few masters upstairs please, and the villain will immediately deliver the meal to the room! ”

In the dimly lit room, Xuanqi wanted to write a letter to his mother who was far away in Bianliang. The hand that had held the reins for a long time in the cold wind gradually itched and warmed, and I couldn't hold the pen for a while.

Pang Tao complained while making the bed: "Obviously, the Khitan is ready to surrender to us, and there is no one to answer and guide us along the way......"

"Maybe they are still hesitating, and they will know what the situation is when they enter the city tomorrow." Xuanqi Road.

That night, Yeluda knelt outside the city gate to greet the procession of the Mongol envoys into Yanjing City. The messenger whipped his horse and walked straight into the city gate.

In the inner hall, warriors in Mongolian attire surrounded the inner hall in full armor, staring at Yeroda with fierce eyes.

The envoy headed by the envoy looked at the table full of delicacies, and did not leave a single one.

Yeluda added wine to the golden wine cup in front of Tokhtar, and said, "Please take a sip of wine to warm your body." ”

Tokhtar looked at Yeluda expressionlessly and said, "The Great Khan ordered me to take over Yanjing City. Jeroda, are you convicted?"

Yeluda was so shocked that he immediately knelt down and arched his hand: "The minister doesn't know what kind of crime he is? Please make it clear. ”

The deputy envoy Batu, who couldn't bear it, said angrily: "Okay, you Yeluda, my Great Khan helped you avenge the destruction of the country by the Jin people, and you don't even think about kindness!" actually colluded with the Southern Dynasty Chu Ting to rebel!"

"I ...... I...... There is no ......" Jeroda was already frightened.

"The people of the Southern Dynasty are now resting in an inn outside the city." After Tokhtar finished speaking, he waved his hand slightly, and Batu immediately pressed Yeroda to the ground.

Yeluda was still struggling to defend himself, "Lord Qin, I have been wronged!"

"When I left Ulaanbaatar, the Great Khan told me that there would be no tolerance for those who betrayed him." Qin envoy Totok said coldly.

Batu's hand fell with his knife, and his head fell to the ground.

The next day, the sky was clear, Xuanqi and Pang Tao rode horses and galloped to Youzhou City. In the distance, the Youzhou city tower on the plain showed a sharp corner, like a drop of ink on the vast white snow. With the horses chirping, they crossed the quiet forest in an instant, like a sea of flowers blooming with thousands of pear blossoms.

"When I first arrived, I only felt that the north wind was bleak here, and I didn't want to have such a magnificent scenery." Xuanqi exclaimed.

"Lord Wang, when Youyan recovers, our name will be engraved in history!" Pang Tao said excitedly, and then he shouted: "Erlang! Yo hoo! ”

"Yo-hoo!" The son behind him shouted.

There was another whistling of horses' hooves, and the sharp point in the distance became a wall of walls. Behind the walls of the city are mountains undulating, like the arms of the earth embracing the sky.

After entering Yanjing City, the city was still deserted, there were no small merchants and vendors on both sides of the street, and there were no watchmen, so it was so quiet that it made people hairy. From a distance, there was a Khitan warrior in full armor and luxuriously dressed standing on the upper floor of the inner city, which looked like a statue in the morning light, revealing a strange atmosphere. The inner walls are pitted with holes, which seem to be the traces of new arrows.

Xuanqi and Pang Tao glanced at each other and couldn't help but hold the sword. All they could hear was the sound of whistles and arrows, and tens of thousands of arrows rained down from the high towers in the air towards them. The Khitan warriors who followed Yelujing were in a mess all of a sudden, and the inner intellectuals led by Xuanqi were also in chaos, and the hidden Mongolian soldiers appeared one after another, riding horses, waving long knives and rushing out of the inner city gate. Most of the insiders were killed and injured in an instant, and after being hit by the arrow, they fell in a pool of blood and convulsed and did not move.

Pang Tao's body was extremely fast, and the sword spun in the air, and the two Mongolian soldiers fell to the ground. As soon as he rolled over and jumped behind the cart, a volley of arrows shot behind him, and then more arrows rained down on him, pressing him to the point where he couldn't lift his head. Suddenly, a man burst out of the stab and parried the scimitar coming at him with his sword.

When Pang Tao looked up, he saw Xuanqi with blood on his face, and a door panel on his back, which was full of arrows shot at him.

"King Jun, ...... you" Xuanqi saw Pang Tao staring at his face, wiped his hand, looked down and saw the blood, and said, "It's okay!" It's theirs. ”

Suddenly, Xuanqi's face changed, and he fell down before. Pang Tao hurriedly helped him with his hand, and four Mongolian soldiers rushed from behind Xuanqi and killed him with bright spears. Pang Tao swung his sword, and the three soldiers fell to the ground in response, but one of them still rushed to the front and slashed with his sword. Xuanqi lowered his head, the bayonet brushed against his back, he grabbed the head of the gun with his left hand, turned around and kicked the Mongolian soldier's knee. The Mongol soldier fell to the ground with a scream, and Xuanqi reversed the blade of his sword, and the sword plunged straight into the enemy's chest.

"Lord Wang, let's kill it!" Pang Tao said.

Xuanqi looked at the fallen insider behind him, burst into tears, and said bitterly: "They came all the way with me, but now they are dying here in vain!"

Pang Tao hurriedly grabbed him and said, "If you don't leave, you really can't run away!" You must not have an accident!"

Suddenly, a behemoth smashed towards them, and Pang Tao flashed to the side with Xuanqi in his arms. It turned out that the "statue" on the castle tower fell down heavily. When I looked closer, it was a man tied to a stake, his head rolled far away, and his face was blurred with flesh and blood. A gold medal flew out of his body and landed at Xuan Qi's feet, was picked up by Xuan Nan and put it in his arms.

In the panic, Pang Tao whistled, and a white horse galloped in the rain of bullets, Pang Tao put Xuanqi on the horse, and killed the three Mongolian soldiers who rushed towards them, and stabbed the horse's buttocks with a dagger. When Pang Tao saw the king of the county galloping out of the city gate that was about to close on a white horse, he couldn't help but smile.

Xuanqi fled all the way to his life, and the rain of arrows behind him stopped after falling for a while, and then he didn't see the pursuers for a long time, so he gradually stopped his desperate footsteps, and found that Pang Tao was not behind him, and couldn't help but burst into tears. Pang Tao didn't go out of the city, if he hadn't desperately closed the city gate, he would have ...... long ago

At night, he came across a deserted pavilion to settle into. Xuanqi didn't dare to make a fire, so he could only sit in a straw pile with trembling and wrapped in a blood-stained fur coat, looking at the sky and the moon from the broken eaves. Raise your head to look at the bright moon and bow your head to think of your hometown. When he first set foot here with the emperor's order, the complacent young man dreamed of expanding his territory and becoming famous. Now all I have in my mind is Bianliang's mother......

I want to go back alive, and my mother can't live without me.

He said in his heart: The Mongols seem to have known their plan for a long time, and they are the first to lay a net in Yanjing City and wait. The pursuers must still be searching for themselves. If you don't think about it, you will be caught immediately, unless you return to the territory of Dachu immediately, but there are still hundreds of miles away from Hejian Town.

Just as he was rushing with worry, the sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer. In an instant, the torches around became more and more dense, and eventually the grass pavilion was encircled.

"Shoot the arrows!" Batu ordered.

Xuanqi closed his eyes and waited for death.

"Stop!" Another calm male voice pierced the ears.

"His Royal Highness the King of Leshui County, don't resist anymore, there are still five passes from the border. Even if you escape today, will you be able to break into five more military towns by yourself! Totoh shouted in proficient Chinese.

Xuan Qi said in his heart: They are right. Those who have escaped today will not escape tomorrow. Suddenly there was grief and fearlessness in my heart.

"Come with me to the Great Khan, and the Great Khan will not hurt your life!" Detachment.

These words woke up Xuanqi, if they wanted to take their lives, they could shoot themselves with arrows now, but they didn't do it. Could it be that he wants to catch the alive and negotiate with Da Chu? If so, even if I can't do my filial piety in front of my mother, I can't fall into their hands!

The sharp sword was unsheathed and slammed across the neck. I heard a snort, a sharp pain in my wrist, and the sword in my hand fell to the ground. Xuanqi was about to endure the severe pain and pick it up, but he had already been kicked to the ground by several strong Mongolian soldiers, and the sword in his hand was thrown farther away, and then he was tied up by Wuhuada.

Xuan Qi scolded angrily while struggling: "The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun are originally my Great Chu territory, and you stole it with dirty means. If you can treat the people of Yanyun well, and now that Yanyun is famine everywhere, not only are you not sympathetic to the people's feelings, but you also expropriate and extort violently. My Majesty can't bear the misery of thousands of people. You guys! If you have what you can do, kill me!"

"Your Highness's life is more precious than the whole family surnamed Yelu, you can watch it carefully." With that, Tokhtar waved his hand again. Several soldiers stuffed a large ball of cloth in Xuanqi's mouth, then mounted him on his horse, and then trapped him firmly in the saddle.
