Chapter 003: The tower does not smoke and sets up the Fuliu Pavilion
Under the repeated instigation of Xiao Yu and Han Xun, several people present finally married Jinlan with the same meaning.
After burning incense and swearing to make an alliance with blood, the six people sat down according to their age, from childhood to age: Li Shi of Nanke Bangyan, Han Xun of Nanke Tanhua, Yelu Dashi, champion of Nanke, Xiao Gan of Nanke, Yelu Buddha of Beikebangyan, and Xiao Pleiades of Beike Tanhua.
After sitting down, Xiao Yu said: "The third brother and the fourth brother won the top prize, if it was placed in previous years, it would have been a great joy, but in this department, I am afraid it will become a fatal disaster." ”
Everyone was puzzled and anxiously asked the reason, so Xiao Yu told everyone the beginning and end of Empress Xuanyi's dream of Emperor Tianzuo.
The eldest brother Li Shi frowned and said: "His Majesty the Emperor has a deep relationship with his grandmother since he was a child, and the first thing he did when he ascended the throne was to rehabilitate Zhaoxue for Empress Xuanyi's unjust case. ”
"What the eldest brother said is extremely true!" Xiao Yu continued: "Since the six of you and I have become brothers, we should share blessings and difficulties. My father is in a high position and has won the favor of His Majesty, so for the sake of today, I can only ask him to speak well in front of the saint, or to ensure that the two elder brothers are safe. ”
Dashi said bitterly in his heart: "People say that officialdom is like a battlefield, Xiao Yu and Han Xun must have followed Xiao Fengxian's idea, first by nominating the top three to worship with us, and then by using the dream to threaten each other, so that the organs are exhausted, and the grace and power are combined, it is nothing more than to ask me and Xiao Gan and others to submit to the door of the Northern Privy Council, and from then on I will be willing to obey the dispatch of this minister."
Now, even if I realize it later, what can I do? My net worth is only between Xiao Fengxian's words, and if I want to survive, I can only send people under the fence.
Today's game is completely lost, and in the future, similar things will inevitably happen again, I must be more careful! ”
Maybe he also saw through Xiao Xiang's tricks, and without waiting for Dashi to express his position, Xiao Gan, the champion of Nanke, got up and sighed: "That's the case, please ask the sixth brother to thank Xiao Xiang for saving his life on my behalf, if the prime minister is driven in the future, I Xiao Gan will have nothing to say!" ”
"Okay, what do you say, Brother Dashi?" Xiao Yu was so happy that he got up and asked Yelu Dashi.
"Everything is arranged by the sixth brother!"
Xiao Yu nodded, and then everyone dispersed after drinking a few glasses, only waiting for the sunset to pay homage to Xiao Fengxian's deity.
Ma Kuo, who had left Dengke Building, felt like he had been splashed with hot oil, and he regretted that he had offended Yelu Dashi on a spur of the moment, and he was even more worried that it would make the Great Song Dynasty's vision of recovering Yanyun come to naught.
Hesitating, the hustle and bustle of Linhuang Mansion in Beijing gradually drifted away.
At dusk, a snowfield is reflected in the fiery sunset, and on the red snow, the Baiyin Golo River meanders by, like a blue streamer falling in the rouge at will, which is both harmonious and abrupt.
On the bank of the gravel river, a hundred branches of cold plum are ready to bloom, surrounded by a navy blue single-eaves hexagonal pavilion. There is nothing special about this pavilion, it is nothing more than a long pavilion built to bid farewell to relatives and friends, which can be seen almost everywhere in the Great Song Dynasty, but a touch of fat powder wafting from time to time in the pavilion makes Ma Kuo feel relaxed and happy.
"Could it be that this pavilion is made of agarwood?" Ma Kuo was curious, strode to the hexagonal pavilion, and saw a plaque hanging on the pavilion, on which only three gilded characters were written - Liuyu Pavilion.
Looking closely at the pavilion, there was a red-robed woman standing behind the pillars, who was looking up and down at this handsome little general with strange eyes.
"Ahh No...... I don't know that Miss is here alone, please forgive me for being clumsy, and if there is a collision, please forgive Miss! ”
Seeing Ma Kuo's panic, the red-robed woman couldn't help but sneer, and her ice muscles and jade bones were even more delicate.
"A dignified man, riding on the battlefield, going into battle to kill the enemy, especially not afraid, why did you stutter when you saw me?"
"This ......"
Ma Kuo was speechless for a while, in his opinion, a woman alone in the wilderness, in the face of a strange man can still talk freely, this woman is either mentally problematic or morally flawed, it is inevitable to spread unnecessary trouble, and it is the wisest choice to get out immediately.
"There are still important things to do, so retire first!"
With that, Ma Kuo turned around and wanted to leave.
"Bold Song people, in my Great Liao Emperor, I bullied my brother, how can I let you get out of the way!"
The woman threw down a sentence, and then pulled out a soft sword from her waist and plunged directly into the heart of Ma Kuo, the speed was as fast as a silver snake hunting, and like a wolf pounced on food.
Ma Kuo felt the chill behind him, turned around quickly, and dodged the sword edge with a drunken move, and then ran straight to the woman's throat with a red blow.
This woman's martial arts are extraordinary, seeing that Ma Kuo's counterattack is coming, she only flicked her wrist and hit the soft sword on her chest, and the blade was facing Ma Kuo's wrist.
Seeing this, Ma Kuo hurriedly withdrew his hand, leaned over, and swept the hall straight to the woman's lower plate.
The woman didn't panic, she jumped into the air and rose up, the red robe shining in the sunset, and after a glamorous wipe in mid-air, she landed steadily away from the horse.
Seeing that the woman's swordsmanship was proficient and her body was light, Ma Kuo couldn't help but secretly marvel at himself, and only then did he take a closer look at this sudden opponent.
The woman is more than seven feet tall, slim and elegant, with a beautiful body, a soap purple skirt lined under the red robe, red sandalwood pointed boots, a willow thin waist, and a gold silk embroidered brocade belt tied on it, which is more graceful in the heroic spirit.
Looking at the face again, the red lips and jade face, the nose is wide and the ears are broad, and under the thick eyebrows, two autumn waves shoot towards Ma Kuo, and there are wisps of murderous aura mixed in the amazement.
"It's worthy of the Great Song Dynasty martial arts, and he really has some ability, but that's all."
As soon as the woman spoke, she took out a whistle from her waist and blew it, and in an instant, dozens of white-clothed swordsmen appeared out of thin air on the snowfield, encircling the horse in the center.
Ma Kuo exclaimed in his heart: "Dressed in white and hiding in the snow, this is a long time ago planned to ambush me, but I can only hate my carelessness, and I have been calculated to such an extent!" Now, I have to fight to the death! ”
Thinking of this, the little general quickly rushed forward, took the nearest person like lightning, and directly knocked it over with a single move, snatched the iron scimitar and fought the wolves again.
Seeing this, a group of white-clothed swordsmen attacked Ma Kuo in turn with wheel tactics, and fled immediately after the knife, not entangled, not in love with war, they obviously planned carefully, and wanted to take advantage of the advantage in numbers to drag Ma Kuo to exhaustion.
Half an hour later, Ma Kuo was out of breath, and looked around the snowfield, only three or five swordsmen fell to the ground.
"It's not okay to fight like this, shoot people first and shoot horses, and capture thieves first capture kings!"
The little general turned his heart sideways, and took the opportunity to shoot straight at the woman in red.
"I expected you to be like this!" The woman took two steps back, waved her hand slightly, and four more men in white jumped out of the snow in front of her, holding the four corners of the felt net, and impartially covering the horse in it.
Ma Kuo struggled for a while and couldn't get out of the predicament, so he simply stopped working in vain, and he said to the woman in red: "I am not as good as a person in my skills, if I want to kill, I have to listen to the respect, I just ask the girl to let me die to understand!" ”
The woman sneered: "You humiliate your brother in public, and you are innocent!" ”
"The son outside the Dengke Building?"
"Exactly!" The woman continued: "Xiao Fengxian, the prime minister of Beifu, has two sons and a daughter, and the one you bullied is the eldest son of the Xiao family, whose name is Xiao Yu. The second son, Xiao Yu, is the concubine of the dynasty. And I am the daughter of the Xiao family - Xiao Ta does not smoke. ”
