The cold wind blew, the white snow and red plums flew all over the sky, and a man and a woman each held a broken sword and confronted each other in front of the Liuyu Pavilion.

The tower does not smoke and arrows, and suddenly makes a move to "throw stones to ask for directions", but because the length of the sword is halved, it cannot touch Ma Kuo's forehead at all.

General Ma did not dodge because of this, but quickly turned sideways, let the imaginary sword blade, and counterattacked with a move of "returning to the roots".

Ta Buyan took a step back, waited for Ma Kuan to drop his hand, and responded with "every three autumns".

Ma Kuo rolled on the spot, issuing a "sworn oath" to check and balance.

The tower does not smoke: Lao Yan flies separately

Ma Kuo: The willows are bright

The tower does not smoke: look through the autumn water

Ma Kuo: The copper kettle is leaking

The tower does not smoke: the face is thin

Ma Kuo: Raise your eyebrows

Tower does not smoke: the end of the road

Ma Kuo: Although he died, he had no regrets

……

In the eyes of others, this duel in the falling snow and flying flowers is more beautiful than the dance of the hook in the market.

Ta Buyan's eyes were moist, his hand broke the sword and trembled, and he made another move, "Looking forward to the return of the king".

Ma Kuo also said "rest until death", then put away his sword and hugged his fist, turned over on his horse after giving a deep salute, led the Great Song Dynasty delegation, and went south.

Under the Liuyu Pavilion, Ta Buyan looked at the figure of Ma Kuo leaving from afar, and was speechless for a long time, until the wind and snow obscured his vision.

After sending Miss Xiao back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Yelu Dashi hurried to the Imperial City and came to the outside of the Qinxin Palace, only to see that Xiao Yu had already quelled the rebellion, and at this time the bodies of the twenty-six assassins were being examined one by one.

"Is it all here? Is there a living mouth left? Dashi walked up to Xiao Yu and asked.

Xiao Yu sighed: "I caught a living one, but this guy didn't make a move, and he had to bite his tongue and kill himself, so I had to stuff his clothes (socks) in his mouth and lock him in the deacon's room." ”

Dashi nodded, and then told Xiao Yu about the attack outside the city.

"How so? Has my sister ever been injured?" Xiao Yu panicked when he heard the news.

"Don't worry, young lady, it's okay!"

"What does it mean to be fine? Or is it hurt? ”

"I'm afraid it's hurt in my heart!"

After Dashi finished speaking, he didn't pay any attention to Xiao Yue, who was confused, and went into the palace to face the king.

"Aiqing is flat! Bestow the seat. Emperor Tianzuo on the dragon couch was sleepy-eyed, and let Dashi sit next to Xiao Fengxian: "Has the bandit leader ever been captured?"

Dashi got up and reported the ins and outs of the Jinfeng Gate.

Xiao Fengxian frowned and said: "Fortunately, Dashi is keen, if the Song Dynasty mission dies outside the Jinfeng Gate, I am afraid that it will be difficult for my Da Liao to explain to the Song Court, and if the two countries are hurt by the love and righteousness, and then raise the sword soldiers, I am afraid that it will be another catastrophe." ”

"That's what Xiao Xiang said!" Dashi said: "The thief is ruthless and harbors evil intentions, and he will definitely trap my Daliao in the flames of war, and someone will come up with advice after that." ”

"Report!" At this time, Xiao Yu entered the hall and said: "Your Majesty, the identity of the assassin has been ascertained, and the twenty-eight people are all the children of Yelu Yixin and Zhang Xiaojie, and they belong to Tianlong Temple, Confucius Temple, Suwei Camp, Palace Tent Army and other places. ”

Emperor Tianzuo was furious when he heard this, and smashed the tea bowl in his hand: "Yelu Yixin and Zhang Xiaojie are not gone, even if they punish the ten clans, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in their hearts, and the decree will open the coffin and kill the corpses of these two people, and all the relatives of the assassins will be killed, and the abbots of Tianlong Temple and Suwei Camp will be unfavorable under their careful and stable control, dereliction of duty, forty canes, and a fine of three years!" ”

"Your Majesty!" When Xiao Fengxian heard this, he hurriedly knelt down and begged: "There is a traitor to the party in the Su Wei camp, and the dog is hard to escape the blame, but please remember that his time in office is still short, and he has made meritorious contributions to quelling the rebellion, so he will be exempted from punishment!" ”

Emperor Tianzuo raised his head, looked at Xiao Yu who was trembling at the bottom of the stairs and said: "Tonight, the widow is safe, thanks to Xiao Shenyin's desperate escort, let's take the credit, if there is a recidivism, the punishment will be doubled!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Longen!" Xiao Yu and Xiao Fengxian thanked each other when they heard this.

"Get up!" Emperor Tianzuo said: "Tonight's incident, I am very angry, I am limited to three days to capture the bandit leader, find out the mastermind behind the scenes, and report it!" Step aside! ”

"Yes!"

After leaving the Qinxin Palace, Xiao Yu hurriedly came to Dashi's side, bowed down and saluted: "Your Majesty solves the case within a time limit, my little brother and I are like sitting on pins and needles, where to go, please teach me brother!" ”

Dashi said: "The key to this case is that living mouth, no matter what, he must be made to confess, can you find out the identity of this person?" ”

Xiao Yu said: "This person's surname is Xiao, his name is Hu Lira, his father is the overseer of the Southern Courtyard, he was sent to Anguo Temple by his father when he was a teenager, and after the Yelu Yixin case, his father was implicated and beheaded, because he lived a long time in Shaving, so he was not convicted. ”

"Does this person have any relatives alive?"

Xiao Yu frowned and replied: "Two years ago, His Majesty ordered the killing of Yelu Yixin and Zhang Xiaojie's ten clans, the so-called ten clans, in addition to the nine clans of relatives, there is also a clan of disciples under the family, and the father of Hu Lira is among them.

Although the other relatives of Urira were not convicted of capital crimes, they could not escape the fate of exile from the army, and as for whether there were still people alive, I have no way of knowing whether the younger brother was still alive. ”

"Good!" Dashi seemed to have an idea: "Sixth brother, you and I are divided into two ways, and we will definitely be able to pry open this person's mouth!" ”

In the deacon's room of the guard camp, the sound of the leather whip did not stop all night, and Xiao Lili, who had already opened his skin, still did not say a word, and Xiao Yu was so angry that he was angry.

"Dog thief! As a monk, you vainly open the precept of killing, this is unrighteousness, and you are vainly trying to kill the king while flowing Khitan blood, this is disloyalty, your sins, although nine deaths are not enough to cover the emergency, I advise you to speak as soon as possible, when he meets the Buddha in person, he will not throw you into the Infernal Hell! ”

Xiao Lili twisted his head, not even looking at Xiao Yu.

"Hit! Call me! Xiao Yu was so angry that he continued to order torture to extract confessions.

At dawn, Yelu Dashi pushed open the door of the deacon's room and walked in, looking at the dying Urira and couldn't help sighing: "If there is no concern, why is it so tough?" ”

The prisoner's body trembled, and he barely raised his head, looking at Dashi thoughtfully.

Seeing this scene, Da Shi gave Xiao Yu a look, and the eldest prince of the Xiangfu immediately understood: "Da Shi, I'll leave it to you here, my brothers and I will go to eat first!" ”

Seeing everyone leave the room, Dashi, who had already investigated the assassin's relatives clearly, stepped forward slowly, took out the foot clothes from Xiao Lila's mouth, and said, "Sister Ling is in Western Xia, she can't eat or clothe, is this the result you want?" ”

"Nonsense! The girl really promised me that she would send someone to take care of her! Dahan said weakly.

"So, it was the Jurchens who instructed you to assassinate the king? I'm going to send someone to Wu Yashu to ask for the guilt! ”

"No...... No! Dahan knew that once this happened, his sister's life would be in danger.

Dashi sneered: "You are still a smart person, so let's do it, I will try to welcome Ling Mei back to Shangjing and place her in my mansion, although I can't be rich and rich, at least I won't suffer from displacement again?" ”

"How do I know if you're lying to me?"

"In the lower Yelu Dashi, the eighth grandson of Taizu, the champion of the current Kebei Branch, and the official Lin Ya, what I said is true with the promises made to you by those ill-intentioned people? You have to make trade-offs! ”

Xiao Lira was silent for a moment, and then sighed and said, "If you lie to yourself, I will turn into a terrible ghost and break your body into ten thousand pieces!" ”
