Chapter 9: Slaying the Enemy
"Lord Wang, the spy we sent out to infiltrate Liao has sent a secret report." A masked man in black hurriedly ran into the main hall and knelt in front of Zhao Shu, his words unable to hide his excitement and joy.
After Zhao Shu heard this, his originally frowning brows stretched slightly: "Read." β
"Three days later, the Liao army will have a secret meeting in Lanzhou, this is a military secret, please send someone to defend."
"Okay, then the king will go there himself." Zhao Shu got up from his seat and walked out of the hall.
ββOutside the gate of Lanzhou
"Finally arrived in Lanzhou, let's go to the city to eat something!" Blue Smoke suggested.
Xuankong shook his head helplessly and said, "You know how to eat, have you remembered the kung fu I taught you on the road?" If you have nothing to do, you have to practice more, as a teacher...... Hey, hey, forget it, it's useless. β
Lan Yan smiled and patted Xuankong's shoulder and said, "Okay, go into the city and invite you to drink!" β
"That's good, that's okay! Oh no! Excellent! β
Cao Wei on the side smiled and said nothing, after getting along for half a month, he felt that Lan Yan and Xuankong were both extremely bold people, and they were good friends worth making.
"Stop! Please show a warrant to enter the city. When they arrived at the city gate, a soldier stopped Lan Yan and the others.
"A warrant to enter the city? Why do you want this? Blue Smoke was puzzled.
The soldier replied with an expressionless face: "The prefect has ordered that those who enter the city will be strictly investigated in the next few days. You can't enter the city without a warrant for progress. β
"But we don't have this thing......" Blue Smoke whispered to Xuankong.
Xuankong pursed his lips and motioned for Lan Yan to glance at Cao Wei: "Your brother Wei has it." β
Cao Wei smiled and nodded, stepped forward, and handed over his token. As soon as the surrounding soldiers saw that it was Cao Wei, they lined up one after another and respectfully invited the three of them into the city.
"So powerful?!" Lan Yan couldn't help but sigh, "Brother Wei is so magnificent......"
Cao Wei smiled embarrassedly and said, "Let's go into the city." β
After entering Lanzhou City, the three of them found a restaurant and planned to have a good meal. After the dishes were served, Lan Yan stared at the lively street outside, so he sneaked out into the street on the pretext of going to the toilet. Unlike Gyeongju, the streets are significantly wider and the restaurants are more beautifully decorated. Unconsciously, Lan Yan walked to a restaurant with a plaque of "Cuixiang Pavilion", and she looked at it for a long time in a daze, only to find out that this was a green building. An old bustard, dressed very brightly, walked out, saw the blue smoke at a glance, and thought: This girl looks really bad, if you can come to my Cuixiang Pavilion, you can make a good profit. So, the old bustard walked up to Lan Yan with a twist, and asked with a smile: "Yo, this girl, do you want to sit in my restaurant?" β
Lan Yan looked surprised, and thought to herself: I am obviously dressed in women's clothes, what is she asking me to do in this place where men are messing around? Could it be that I've recently tanned, and it's so masculine that people mistakenly think I'm not my daughter's family? No, she just called a girl? What is this bustard doing?
Seeing that Lan Yan didn't speak, the old bustard thought that he was too straightforward and scared the girl, so he said more tactfully: "Hehe, I saw that the girl was very kind, so I wanted to invite you into the restaurant for a drink, and I didn't mean anything else...... Oh, you can call me Aunt Ju......"
Oh, I see, this stinky girl wants to pull me in to be a Qinglou woman.
Lan Yan sneered and looked at Aunt Ju's appearance, and sighed secretly in her heart: stupid like this, how can you open such a big store?
Just as Lan Yan was about to turn around and leave, a familiar figure passed by her, Lan Yan stopped, looked back with wide eyes, his hand gradually clenched into a fist, his expression began to become serious, and the light from his eyes seemed to be able to burn people to death.
Li Difu ...... It's him!
When Aunt Ju saw the guests coming, she put the blue smoke aside and greeted her with a flattering smile: "This guest officer, what do you want?" β
Li Difu smiled gloomily and showed his token, Aunt Ju's face changed, and her voice began to tremble a little, but she still pretended to smile calmly and said, "Please ...... here" The two walked into the door one after the other.
Blue Smoke took all of this into his eyes, and Qinglou hid, perhaps there was a secret meeting. Thinking of this, Lan Yan followed without hesitation. Seeing Li Difu walk into a very hidden small room, Lan Yan confirmed his guess even more.
"I won't break you into pieces today." Lan Yan's fist clenched even tighter, his pupils began to slowly turn red, and the bloodshot on the jade jue on his chest became very obvious.
At this time, Aunt Ju came over, and when she saw Lan Yan walking in by herself, she was secretly happy, and before she could speak, Lan Yan immediately interrupted her: "Aunt Ju, do you still accept girls here?" β
Aunt Ju's eyes lit up suddenly, and she nodded vigorously: "Collect it, you want to come to us?" β
"Yes, I'm the best at dancing, you let me dance, make sure you make a lot of money, how about it?" Lan Yan said with a smile.
"Okay, what do you call the girl?" Aunt Ju asked excitedly.
Lan Yan thought for a moment and replied, "Husband." β
"Fleur?? Oh hehe, yes, come with me. β
"Everyone," Aunt Ju came to the stage with a spring face, and said, "Today, I want to present a singing and dancing gift to all the sons and gentlemen here, and I promise that you will open your eyes and invite our Fudai girl!" β
Lan Yan is wearing a blood-colored Luo skirt, with a golden silk hairpin on her hair, the Luo skirt wraps her excellent figure, and she is even more beautiful with makeup, her skin is like clotted fat, her face is like a peach blossom, and a pair of eyes that can arouse the waves of the world. danced, sometimes like a fairy who does not eat the fireworks of the world, and sometimes as glamorous and charming as a charm.
The sons and gentlemen under the seat naturally couldn't sit still, and sprinkled flower petals on the stage vigorously, and when the petals were not enough, they began to scatter silver tickets, and this dance really shocked the audience. Even Li Difu and the others, who were talking secretly in the room, walked out of the door to find out, Li Difu touched his chin with a wicked smile, and asked the attendant next to him: "What is the name of this woman?" The attendant replied, "My lord, this girl's name is Fluffy." β
Li Difu suddenly felt a little chill in his back: "Fu Dai? Husband...... ...... Death"
At this time, Lan Yan, who was dancing on the stage, saw Li Difu standing on the second floor, so he smiled slightly, threw out a red ribbon in his hand, tied it to the pillar on the top of the building, and then took off into the air, spinning, and flying, like a blood-colored flame bird, like a martial arts and dancing. Li Difu was immediately amazed, just when everyone was intoxicated, blue smoke suddenly flew out of the sleeve of a very thin poisonous needle, pierced the center of Li Difu's eyebrows, he began to move his hands and feet uncontrollably, and then fell to the ground foaming at the mouth, and after talking nonsense in a crazy way, he picked up the big knife that fell to the ground and slashed at everyone.
At this time, the singing and dancing stopped suddenly, everyone retreated in horror, and some bold sons rushed forward, wanting to capture Li Difu. The Liao people who were talking secretly couldn't sit still, so they picked up their knives and went forward. At this time, I don't know who shouted: "These are Liao soldiers, don't let them go!" β
Suddenly, the red-eyed people of the Great Song Dynasty slashed towards the Liao soldiers as if they were desperate, and some of the people whose wives were killed because of the Liao soldiers going south were even more brave, which made the Liao soldiers scattered in Lanzhou appear one after another and gathered in Cuixiang Pavilion.
"I said why do you want to hold a secret meeting here in Lanzhou, sure enough, there is an ambush!" Lan Yan sneered and looked at everything in front of him.
"Let's evacuate this place first, otherwise Li Difu, the Liao dog, will run away......" A man in a plain blue robe suddenly stepped forward and said, and then pulled the blue smoke out of this place of right and wrong.
Lan Yan ran outside the door, shook off the man's hand, and just wanted to go down with a knife, but at that time he saw the face of the person who came: "Zhao Shu? β
"It's me," Zhao Shu smiled lightly, "Lan Yan, I haven't seen you for a while, and your martial arts have improved so much?" β
At this time, Lan Yan caught a glimpse of Li Difu hurriedly getting into the carriage out of the city under the cover of his attendants, so he said to Zhao Shu: "I have something to do first, and there will be a ...... later."
"Wait......" Zhao Shu took Lan Yan's hand and handed her a rein, "Ride a horse, let's go together." β
Lan Yan was stunned, then nodded, turned over and got on the horse, and chased after Zhao Shu.
When I chased to the city gate, I found that almost all the guards at the west city gate (that is, the Song-Liao border) had been replaced by Liao soldiers. Li Difu covered his chest with his hands, his lips were slightly purple, the poison in it seemed to have subsided a little, it was estimated that he had taken the antidote in time, he sneered and stepped out of the carriage, and shouted at Zhao Shu: "Lord Zhao! You made a mistake, I didn't expect that the person guarding the city gate already belongs to my Daliao, right? Hahaha, today I see that you are difficult to fly! Take the beauties around you and go down to the Yellow Spring together! β
Zhao Shu replied very calmly: "Li Difu, you are inevitably too eager to invite credit, right?" β
Li Difu looked up to the sky and laughed: "If I catch you, I can be promoted to several levels of officials in a row, why don't you ask for credit?" Hahaha...... If you are willing to get off your horse and kneel on the ground and beg for my forgiveness, I can let you go back to Daliao with me alive, how about it? β
Lan Yan looked at Zhao Shu who was not shocked, and immediately understood that he had installed people, but it was estimated that he was still on the way here, so he had to delay time. But does she really need to stall?
Lan Yan lowered his head and asked Zhao Shu, "When will your people come?" β
Zhao Shu replied: "It's soon, wait a little longer." β
After listening to his words, Lan Yan showed a creepy smile: "Don't wait......"
Zhao Shu was taken aback: "What? β
The blue smoke flashed to Li Difu at an alarming speed, grabbed him by the collar, and before the soldiers around him could react, they had already been drained of their hearts and lungs by the blue smoke. Looking at the soldiers in the front row who fell in a pool of blood, the soldiers in the back couldn't help but tremble slightly and slowly retreated. Li Difu was even more frightened, and begged for mercy vigorously: "The woman spares her life, the woman spares her life, and the little one is with you...... No grievances, no hatred, you ...... Don't hurt me......"
"No grievances?" Lan Yan repeated with a smile, but there was no smile in his eyes, "Hahahahaha, my adoptive father and adoptive mother, and many villagers died in your hands, no injustice or hatred?" β
Li Difu was so frightened that her legs were weak, but she just couldn't remember, Lan Yan's pupils had turned blood-red, and her slender hands had turned into blood-dripping claws.
Everyone present was so frightened that they knelt down and begged for mercy. Lan Yan smiled coldly, now she is a blood corpse demon, it is impossible to have the slightest pity, she looked at this large area of Liao soldiers, remembered what they did in their hometown, the hatred in her heart exploded, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, all the way to the past, the soldiers had to break the cauldron and sink the boat, with the heart of death rushed forward, however, most of the soldiers who rushed to kill were either burned to death by the demon fire, or were ground into minced meat by the blue smoke, and within half a pillar of incense, the Liao soldiers present were all wiped out. By the time Zhao Shu's troops arrived, there was already a river of blood flowing here, and there was not a single intact corpse.
"I said, don't wait." Lan Yan smiled at Zhao Shu, and the blood red in his eyes was slowly fading.
Zhao Shu looked at Lan Yan and only felt that her smile was extremely dazzling.
