Chapter 429: Farewell

As night falls, the lights come on. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the villa outside the North Fourth Ring Road of Beijing, in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, Li Shuchong and Qin Wen stood embracing.

Li Shuchong said: "I'm going to go to the Wa Kingdom in two days, you arrange the "duty" matter to Xiao Zhao and Zhiruo, and I plan to take you home." ”

Qin Wen said, "Aren't you worried about being targeted?"

Li Shuchong said: "It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, I've been away from home for too long, and I'm going abroad this time, so it's better to say goodbye to my parents in person." What's more, we have all embarked on the path of cultivating immortals and refining qi, so why not be afraid of the difficult and dangerous road ahead, but I want to be worthy of my heart. ”

Qin Wen said: "You better be cautious." We've managed to get rid of those spies and spies, and they'll be waiting for us in our hometown. Although you have reached the eighth level of Qi refining, China has always hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and it is estimated that you do not have the strength to crush everything at present. Expose yourself in advance, for fear of attracting a stronger enemy, and the last time we were attacked was a lesson from the past. ”

Li Shuchong stroked Qin Wen's long hair, his eyes were full of pity, and said: "Wenwen, I know you are also homesick, you have accompanied me to the rivers and lakes for more than half a year, and you have worked hard for you." Although our parents are still young, our grandparents and grandparents are old, and the trees want to be quiet and the wind does not stop......"

Qin Wen continued: "The son wants to raise but does not wait. Hearing you say that, I feel homesick and miss my grandmother so much...... Shu Chong, we'll go back tomorrow. ”

Li Shuchong said: "No, we will now transform into relatives at home and shuttle home immediately." ”

Qin Wen cheered: "Long live!"

......

......

Xiao Feng was taken aback: "How come all the sergeants are shouting long live!"

He looked around, but when he saw the officers and soldiers bowing down one by one, drawing their knives and holding the ground, Jeluki was standing in the middle with his hand, looking forward to it, and his expression was very proud.

Xiao Feng was stunned and said, "Brother, you ...... You are ......" Yeluji laughed and said, "If you had known that I was the current emperor of the Great Liao Kingdom, I am afraid that you would not have married me as a brother." Brother Xiao, my real name is Yelu Hongji. I will never forget the grace of your life. ”

Although Xiao Feng is open-minded and heroic, he has never seen the emperor in his life, and when he saw such pomp and circumstance today, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and said: "The villain doesn't know Your Majesty, he is offended, and he deserves death!"

Yelu Hongji hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him up, and said with a smile: "Those who don't know are not guilty, brother, you and I are brothers Jinlan, today we only talk about righteousness, and it is not too late to perform the courtesy of the monarch and ministers tomorrow." With a wave of his left hand, drums were played in the team to welcome the guests, and Yelu Hongji took Xiao Feng's hand and entered the big tent together.

The tent where the emperor of Liao lived was made of several layers of cowhide, flying painted gold, brilliant, called the leather room tent. Yelu Hongji sat in the center, ordered Xiao Feng to sit on the side, and after a while, he came in with hundreds of civil and military officials, the king of the North Court, the privy envoy of the North Court, Yu Yue, the privy envoy of the Southern Court, the general of the leather room, the little general, the commander of the horse army, the commander of the infantry army, etc., Xiao Feng did not remember this for a while.

That night, a feast was held in the tent, the Khitan people respected women, and Ah Zi also had to feast in the big tent in the leather room. Wine is like a pool, meat is like a mountain, Ah Zi looked elated, and smiled.

When the wine was drunk, more than ten Khitan warriors pounced in front of the emperor for a play, each of them naked, grabbed and fell, and fought fiercely. Xiao Feng saw that these Khitan warriors were vigorous and strong, and there was another set of martial arts between their gestures, although the changes were not as good as those of the Central Plains warriors, but they were straight into the attack, if they were used in battle formations and group fights, it seemed to be more effective than the Central Plains martial arts.

The civil and military officials of the Liao State came up one by one to toast Xiao Feng. Xiao Feng did not refuse to come, the wine was dry, and after drinking, he had drunk more than 300 glasses, still looking calm, and everyone was shocked.

Yelu Hongji has always been brave and brave, this time he was captured by Xiao Feng, and the whole country knew that he intended Xiao Feng to show superhuman ability to cover up the humiliation of his capture, but he didn't expect Xiao Feng to show his skills at the next day's martial arts competition. Yelu Hongji was overjoyed and said, "Brother, you are the first hero of my Liao Kingdom!"

Ah Zi suddenly interjected: "No, he is the second!" Yelu Hongji smiled: "Little girl, how is he the second? So who is the first hero?" Ah Zi said: "The first hero is naturally your majesty! Although my brother-in-law has great ability, he must obey you and dare not disobey, aren't you the first? She is an old man of the stars, proficient in the art of flattery, and saying this sentence is just a small test.

Yelu Hongji laughed and said, "Well said, well said. Brother Xiao, I want to make you a big official, let me think about it, what is the seal?" At this time, he had drunk eight or nine of his wine, and stretched out his finger and flicked it on his forehead a few times. Xiao Feng hurriedly said: "No, no, the villain is sloppy, and it is difficult to enjoy wealth." has always roamed all over the world, coming and going uncertainly, and he really does not want to be an official. Yelu Hongji smiled: "Okay, I'll make you a big official who only needs to drink and don't have to do things......"

......

......

During the rainy season, the East River floods.

Qin Wen's parents were having dinner in the living room, and the sound of running water in the distance could be heard clearly.

"Wenwen and her father, do you think this flood will rise again? If it rises a few feet more, our house will be flooded. ”

"I don't think it can go up. The current water level has exceeded last year's all-time high, and the houses of the Taihu Lao family have not been roofed. ”

"Alas, this flood is flooding, I don't know if my sister's house will be flooded, her house was flooded last year. ”

"I asked you to call and ask, but you didn't listen, and now her phone can't get through, and it is estimated that the telephone line and power supply line are all broken. ”

"Wasn't I busy tidying up the things on the first floor just now, in case the water rises overnight, we will live in the upstairs room, next to Wenwen's room...... You say, where will our Wenwen be now?"

"How do I know? Wenwen, Wenwen, I don't know how many times I have to repeat it all day long, are you annoyed?"

At this time, two girls of the same age as Qin Wen appeared at the door of the house and shouted shyly, "Auntie...... Uncle......"

"Xiaoyun, Xiaoxia, the water is rising everywhere, why are you here?"

"We went to the town to buy something, and the flood broke the Liangxi Bridge, and we couldn't go back today, so we ...... Going to stay here tonight. ”

"Okay, let's eat first, you two will stay in Wenwen's room at night. Alas, Wenwen, this girl ......"

......

......

Yelu Hongji didn't finish his sentence, and suddenly heard a sharp and rapid horn sound in the distance.

A group of Liao people were originally sitting on the ground, drinking and eating meat, but when they heard the sound of the horn, they suddenly roared, and stood up at the same time, with a look of panic on their faces. The sound of the trumpet came so quickly that it was more than ten miles away when it was first heard, and it was several miles away when it sounded the second time, and miles closer when it sounded the third time. Xiao Feng said in his heart: "No matter how fast the horse is in the world, the first-class light body kung fu can't be so fast. Yes, it must have been predetermined that the messenger station that delivered the emergency news of the military situation was pre-set, and as soon as the sound of the horn was heard, it was transmitted to the next station. But I heard the sound of the trumpet, and as soon as it reached the outside of the big tent in the leather room, it stopped abruptly. The officers and men in the hundreds of tents were cheering and drinking, and they were in a mess, but suddenly they were all silent.

Yelu Hongji looked calm, slowly raised the golden cup, drank the wine, and said: "There are traitors in Shangjing, let's go back and pull out the camp!"

The marching general immediately turned around and went out of the camp to give the order, but when he heard the order to "pull out the camp" became ten, ten into hundreds, and a hundred into thousands, the voice became louder and louder, but it was strict and orderly, without panic and chaos. Xiao Feng pondered: "I have been in the country for 200 years, and the country's prestige has been shaking in the world. ”

But listening to the sound of horses' hooves, the forward scouts galloped out first, followed by the left and right vanguards, the front army, the left army, and the right army, and the first team drove south and returned to Beijing.

Yelu Hongji took Xiao Feng's hand and said, "Let's take a look." The two walked out of the tent, but saw that in the dark night, some lanterns were lit on each military flag, and red, yellow, blue, and white flashed and shone in various colors, and more than 100,000 troops marched south, but they heard the neighing of horses, but they could not hear a human voice. Xiao Feng was greatly impressed, and said in his heart: "If the army is governed like this, who in the world can be an enemy? If the army succeeds, although the Jurchens are brave, they will be outnumbered after all. ”

As soon as the two of them left the tent, the guards immediately pulled out of the camp, and in a moment they were cleaned up, and their luggage and baggage were loaded onto the camel cart. The marshal of the Chinese army gave the order, and the Chinese army set off. The king of the North Courtyard, Yu Yue, Taishi, Taifu and others were waiting before and after Yelu Hongji, and everyone's faces were solemn, but they didn't say a word. Although the news of the chaos in Beijing has been reported, who is the leader of the chaos and what is the situation of the chaos. But it's not easy to understand for a while.

......

......

After dinner, I returned to my familiar room and closed the door.

"Xiaoyun" said, "Have you found anything abnormal?"

"Xiaoxia" said: "There is an abnormality. On the hillside diagonally opposite your house, there is a cultivator lurking in that building, at the level of the second layer of Qi refining. There are pinhole cameras on the door, staircase and hall on the second floor, and there are eavesdropping equipment in many corners, all of which are extremely advanced high-tech products. ”

"Xiaoyun" said: "Well, I found out about the spy on the second layer of gas refining, why didn't I find out about the camera or something?"

"Xiaoxia" said: "You are also refining qi at the fourth level, and you must carefully observe the wind and grass within a radius of 5,000 meters, it seems that your divine sense needs to be trained more." ”

"Xiaoyun" said: "I'll talk about that later, what now?"

"Xiaoxia" said: "If I hadn't encountered the opportunity to cultivate immortals, with the martial arts of the three-legged cat and the soul technique that did not enter the stream, we would all be planted in the hands of that second-level cultivator of qi refining today, which can be regarded as a self-defeating net." Why do they attach so much importance to us, there must be something strange in this, let's not startle the snake first. ”

"Xiaoyun" said: "Then what should I do? Seeing that my biological parents don't recognize each other, it's too heartless, right?"

"Xiaoxia" said: "Wenwen, don't worry, I'll figure it out." According to my analysis, the enemy will definitely directly monitor our two families, but not necessarily our relatives' houses. Why don't we persuade 'aunt' and 'uncle' to go to grandma's house together tomorrow?"

"Xiaoyun" clapped "Xiaoxia" with both hands and said: "I hate it! If you want to call them mom and dad like me, I have already handed myself over to you without reservation, don't think about it." ”

"Xiaoxia" smiled: "Okay, lady, please widen clothes, tonight we will turn the boudoir into a cave room......"

"Xiaoyun" feigned anger and said, "You want to be beautiful." Have you forgotten the customs of our country? Daughters are not allowed to have sex with their husbands when they go back to their parents' homes, because legend has it that they will bring bad luck to their parents' family......"

"Xiaoxia" said: "You are a feudal superstition, but your parents really didn't hurt you in vain." ”

"Of course. "Xiaoyun" snorted, turned around to open the door, and said loudly: "Auntie, Xiaoxia wants to read at night, and I want to sleep in the upstairs guest room with you." ”

......

......

The brigade marched south for three days.

After camping in the evening, the first detective galloped to Yelu Hongji and reported: "The king of the southern courtyard has rebelled and occupied the palace, and the princes, princesses, and family members of hundreds of officials have been arrested, from the queen mother and queen down. ”

Yelu Hongji was taken aback, and his face couldn't help but change greatly.

The important military affairs of the Liao State are handled by the north and south courts. This time, the king of the north court went out hunting with the emperor, and the king of the south court stayed in Beijing. Yelu Nerugu, the king of the Southern Courtyard, was named the king of Chu, but he was not enough, his father Yelu Chongyuan, is the current emperor's uncle, and the official title of the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, but it is not trivial.

Yelu Hongji's grandfather, Yelu Longxu, was known as the Holy Sect in Liao history. The eldest son of the Holy Sect, Zong Zhen, and the second son Chongyuan. Zong Zhen has a kind and generous personality, while Chongyuan is extremely brave and strategic. When the Holy Sect died, the last order was passed on to the eldest son Zongzhen, but the empress of the Holy Sect loved the second son and plotted to make Chongyuan emperor. For example, the Empress Dowager was extremely powerful, and at that time, Zongzhen's throne was inherently unsecure, and her life was in danger, but Chongyuan informed her brother of her mother's plan, so that the Empress Dowager's secret plan could not succeed. Zong Zhen was very grateful to this brother and made him the emperor's younger brother, which meant that he would be passed on to him in the future to reward his kindness.

Yeluzong's true Liao history is called Xingzong, but after his death, the throne was not passed to the emperor's younger brother Chongyuan, but was still passed to his son Hongji.

After Yelu Hongji took over the throne, he couldn't help it, and named Chongyuan as the emperor's uncle, showing that he was still the crown prince of the Great Liao State, and then added the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses.

At that time, Yelu Chongyuan could obviously be the emperor, but he gave it to his brother, which shows that he both valued righteousness and retreated. Yelu Hongji went out to hunt and handed over all the important military affairs in Beijing to the imperial uncle, without the slightest suspicion. At this time, the news came, the rebel was actually the king of the Southern Courtyard Yelu Nerugu, Yelu Hongji was shocked and worried, knowing that Nerugu was ruthless and extremely hot, he had rebelled, and his father had no reason to do anything about it.

The king of the North Courtyard said: "Your Majesty is forgiving, I want the imperial uncle to understand that he will not be allowed to rebel against his son, maybe he has led troops to quell the chaos at this moment." Yelu Hongji said, "I hope so." ”

After everyone had dinner, the second batch of newspapers rushed to report: "The king of the Southern Courtyard has established the emperor's uncle as the emperor, and he has issued an edict to the world." He did not dare to say the following words openly, and presented the edict of the new emperor with both hands. Hongji took a look, and saw that the edict directly denounced Yelu Hongji as a usurper and pseudo-emperor, saying that the first emperor set up Yelu Chongyuan as the emperor's younger brother, and the world knew in twenty-four years, once he died, Yelu Hongji tampered with the edict of the first emperor, stole the treasure, and the Chinese and foreign countries were angry.

In a fit of rage, Yelu Hongji threw the edict into the fire. Burned to ashes, his heart was very worried, and he thought: "This pseudo-edict is eloquent, and after the soldiers and civilians of Liao State read it, they may not be able to avoid people's hearts." Uncle Huang is the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, with a handkerchief of soldiers, and more than 800,000 soldiers and horses can be adjusted, not to mention that there are still soldiers and horses under the jurisdiction of his son King Chu's Southern Academy. I'm only driving here with more than 100,000 people, outnumbered, how can I be?"

......

......

Nothing was said all night.

Li Shuchong, who was alone in the empty boudoir, told Qin Wen with his divine sense that he would first use his divine sense to "dream" to her parents at night, and let them go to her grandmother's house to wait, as long as they didn't tell it in advance, there would definitely be a miracle. It is estimated that after dawn, "Auntie" and "Aunt" will definitely ask her to go to Grandma's house with her.

Li Shuchong also used a dream to roughly tell his parents who live in the town about his current situation, and asked them to go to his aunt's house in the county seat tomorrow to play. Of course, Li Shuchong will also go to the county seat, but the appearance and identity of "Xiaoxia" must be changed, and he will become Li Shuchong's cousin "Xiao Ming".

Qin Wen and Li Shuchong agreed that they would only tell their parents their true faces for the time being, and they would make a decision after returning from the Japanese kingdom for the rest of the situation.

......

......

The night went on and on, and many people couldn't sleep.

Xiao Feng heard that Emperor Liao was going to make him an official, so he wanted to take Ah Zi with him, and said goodbye in the night, but this time he saw that his righteous brother was in danger, and it was inconvenient to leave him.

That night, he walked outside the camp, only to hear the officers and soldiers quietly talking, all saying that his parents and wives were in Beijing, and that he had been detained by the imperial uncle, but he was afraid that his life would not be guaranteed. Some thought of their families and suddenly cried. The crying was contagious, and the rest of the officers and men in the battalion were in the same situation and began to cry one after another. Although the commander-in-chief tried his best to resist. A few people who cried very loudly were killed, but they couldn't stop it.

Yelu Hongji heard the cry that shook the sky, and knew that it was a sign of the army's discouragement, and he was even more troubled.

Early the next morning, the spies came to report that the imperial uncle and the king of Chu led more than 500,000 soldiers and horses to the north. Hong Ji pondered: "Today's affairs, there is no advance or retreat, even if the army is defeated, there is only a decisive battle." On the same day, a hundred officials were convened to deliberate. The ministers were extremely loyal to Yeluhongji and were willing to fight to the death, but they were all worried about the morale of the army.

Hong Ji passed down the order: "All the officers and soldiers will work hard to suppress the thieves, and after the appeasement, in addition to the promotion, the reward will be increased." "Put on the golden armor, personally lead the three armies, and counterattack the imperial uncle's military horses. When the officers and soldiers saw that the emperor was in front of the enemy, their courage was greatly boosted, and they shouted long live and swore allegiance to the death. More than 100,000 soldiers and horses were divided into four divisions: the front army, the left army, the right army, and the middle army.

Xiao Feng pulled his bow and spear, followed behind Hong Ji, and became his personal guard. In the room, he led a team of flying bear soldiers to protect Ah Zi and lived in the rear army.

At noon, I heard the sound of a trumpet in front of me. The Chinese general gave the order: "Dismount!" The cavalry jumped off their horses and took the reins of their horses, but only Yelu Hongji and the ministers were still on their horses.

Xiao Feng couldn't understand why the cavalry dismounted, and was quite puzzled. Yelu Hongji smiled: "Brother, you have been in the Central Plains for a long time, don't you understand the Khitan method of marching and fighting?" Xiao Feng said: "I was about to ask Your Majesty for guidance." Hong Ji smiled: "Hehe, my majesty, I don't know if I can make it to the sun go down today." You and I are brothers, so why call me Your Majesty?"

Xiao Feng heard him laugh with a bitter meaning, and said: "The two armies have not been handed over, Your Majesty does not need to worry. Hong Ji said: "In the confrontation on the plain, the most important thing is horsepower, and manpower is secondary. Xiao Feng suddenly realized and said, "Ah, yes! The cavalry dismounted to avoid fatigue of the mount. Hong Ji nodded and said, "Raise enough horsepower, charge into battle when facing the enemy, and you can move forward." The Khitans fought in the east and west, and won every battle, which is a very important secret. ”

When he said this, the dust in the distance in front of him rose loudly, raising more than ten zhang high, like a yellow cloud surging on the ground. Hongji pointed his horse whip and said: "Uncle Huang and the King of Chu have been in battle for a long time, and they are the great generals of my Liao State, why do they drive troops in a hurry and don't raise horsepower? Well, they have nothing to fear, and they are confident that they will win." Before he could finish speaking, he heard the trumpets of the left and right armies sounding at the same time. Xiao Feng looked far away and saw that there were two other military horses in the east of the enemy, and there were also two military horses in the west, which was a situation of five enemies and one army.

Yelu Hongji's face changed color, and he said to the general of the Chinese army: "Form a formation and set up a village!" The general of the Chinese army replied: "Yes!" The horse went out, passed down the order, and in a moment, a huge wooden city was formed on the grassland, with cavalry stationed in front and behind, and tens of thousands of archers were hidden behind the big wood, and the bowstrings were tightened, just waiting for the arrows.

Xiao Feng frowned, and said in his heart: "After this big battle is fought, no matter who wins or loses, my Khitan clan will have to be full of corpses." The best thing is, of course, that the righteous brother wins, and if unfortunately he loses, I should try to save the righteous brother and Ah Zi to a safe place. As for him, the emperor, it's just a matter of whether he does it or not. ”

Not long after the Liao Emperor's camp was formed, the rebel vanguard had arrived. But he didn't step forward to challenge, and he stood far away with a strong bow and a hard crossbow that couldn't shoot anywhere. But the sound of drums and horns was heard incessantly, and groups of rebels surrounded them, forming a formation in all directions. Xiao Feng looked at the general at a glance, but when he saw the enemy troops all over the field, he couldn't see the end, and thought: "Brother Yi's troops are far away, and he is outnumbered, so I am afraid that I will have to lose." It is not easy to break through and escape during the day, but I only need to support him until night, and I can try to save him. But I saw that the shadow of the big tree in the camp was reflected in the ground for a short time, and the scorching sun was in the sky, and it was not long after noon.

I could only hear a few sounds of geese, and a flock of geese flew through the sky in a row. Yelu Hongji stared at it for a long time, and said with a wry smile: "Unless you turn into a goose, it will be difficult to fly with wings." ”

The king of the North Courtyard and the general of the Chinese army looked at each other and changed color. Knowing that the emperor saw the rebel army, he was already cowardly......
