Chapter 529: Li Gongliang gloated, and Empress Dowager Pan agitated
Cao Bin dragged the Empress Dowager Pan out of the soft sedan chair, held her in his arms and was about to run away, when he saw that She Taijun was going to save Li Gongliang, he hurriedly stretched out a hand, held her on his back and ran away.
"Juncai, an important minister of the court of Li Xianggong, does not know martial arts......"
Cao Bin rolled his eyes and didn't reply at all.
What important ministers of the court? I am also an important minister of the imperial court, and anyone can turn around without the earth, so I will let him die!
Mu Guiying was brandishing a single knife and an arrow in front of her, and when she heard Cao Bin shouting, she hurriedly turned back, but saw that Cao Bin had already waded through a cloud of smoke and dust, carrying She Taijun and Empress Dowager Pan out of the distance.
"I ...... This guy doesn't need to be persuaded by anyone! ”
Mu Guiying was a little speechless, turned her head and glanced at Li Gongliang, who was hiding behind the servant, turned around and ran.
"This guy has a real talent for running for his life."
She found herself running empty-handed, and she couldn't catch up with Cao Bin, who was carrying two people.
Although she felt a little resentful in her heart, she felt very relieved, Cao Bin was different from the Yang family, although he did not have the overall situation and public heart in his eyes, he attached great importance to the relatives around him.
Being able to take the old lady with her when she was running for her life made her extremely satisfied.
She wasn't worried about her safety, and if she hadn't dragged her down, with her martial arts, there would be no problem in escaping.
At this time, Li Gongliang was already dumbfounded.
He looked at Cao Bin and Mu Guiying, who had run away without a trace, and was a little suspicious of life, but then he was so frightened that his soul was not possessed.
Originally, he was protected by Cao Bin, the world's number one general, and he wasn't too worried, but when he saw the other party running away and throwing himself in place, tears came out, and he jumped to his feet and shouted:
"And me, take me!"
After shouting for a long time, seeing that the other party didn't pay any attention to his meaning, Li Gongliang was about to cry.
"Bastard, Cao Gou, these martial ministers are really damned......"
He was secretly scolding, the assassins had already rushed over, and the leader glanced at Li Gongliang and ignored him at all:
"Cao Bin ran away, chase after him!"
"Even if I die here today, I'm going to kill him!"
Seeing that the assassin did not stop at all and ran in front of him, Li Gongliang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and felt a little relieved in his heart:
It turned out that these assassins were all coming at Cao Bin, and they deserved it, thanks to the fact that they didn't run away with him.
Just as he was thinking about it, a servant came over cautiously and asked timidly:
"Xiang, Xiangye, what should I do now?"
Li Gongliang looked at the front of the team, and the arrow did not know the life and death of the Yongqiu County Order and the head of the Fan family, so he hurriedly stepped forward and held the head of the Fan family in his arms and shook it vigorously a few times.
Seeing that he was completely out of breath, he got up as if nothing had happened:
"Quickly carry up to your home and county, and go back to the city to transfer reinforcements to rescue Niangniang...... With Wei Guogong. ”
In fact, Cao Bin didn't run too far, and in less than half an hour, he met the Imperial City Division and the masters of the Weiguo Mansion who came first.
The two sides first fired crossbows at each other, and then Feng Yihan and other masters looked for an opportunity to rush into the group of assassins and began to kill on a large scale.
Although those assassins were also masters and had extraordinary skills, they were not the opponents of Feng Yihan and the others at all, and they were already dead and injured in a moment.
Seeing this, Cao Bin hurriedly said:
"Leave a few alive."
When the assassin leader heard this, he hurriedly made a false move, forced Feng Yihan in front of him away, and said with a smile in the half-baked official dialect of the Great Song Dynasty:
"Cao Bin, don't ask, we are all warriors of the Southern Courtyard of the Great Liao Kingdom Town, and we are here to teach your Nanban a lesson for Your Majesty."
"Even if I tell you? Do you Nanban dare to touch my big Liao tiger beard? ”
"Let you escape this time, count yourself lucky, next time you will be taken captive to Daliao and warm the bed for my majesty, haha......"
After speaking, he suddenly raised his hand, smashed his heavenly spirit with one palm, and fell to the ground with "poof", and everyone stepped forward, but saw that he had died of blood in seven orifices.
It was only at this time that Empress Dowager Pan came back to her senses from the assassination, hurriedly got down from Cao Bin, waved her hand and called the subordinates of the Imperial City Division:
"Quickly check on Wei Guogong to see if he is injured."
Hearing this, She Taijun couldn't help but roll his eyes, and said a little speechlessly:
"Don't worry, the old body is on his back, even if a stray arrow flies by, the old body is shot first."
Cao Bin hurriedly coughed and shouted:
"The old lady is a bit of a dog biting Lu Dongbin, how can there be other places to put you on the son-in-law, do you want the son-in-law to hold it?"
She Taijun gave him a cane and scolded:
"You little bastard, you're getting bigger and smaller, who are you scolding for being a dog?"
As she spoke, she glanced at the Empress Dowager Pan, lowered her voice, and said with relief:
"Knowing that you have filial piety, I mean that the Queen Mother should send someone to see if Li Xiang'an is in danger, no matter what, he is also the Minister of Zaifu."
"Lest the ministers know that their hearts are cold......
When it was critical, throwing Li Gongliang to the assassins could be said to be in a hurry, and the safety of Empress Dowager Pan was the most important.
But he was indifferent afterwards, which was a bit criticized, after all, Li Gongliang was also an important minister who often accompanied him.
Seeing that Cao Bin was not injured, Empress Dowager Pan breathed a sigh of relief, and waved her hand expressionlessly:
"Come on, go find Li Xianggong and see if he is injured."
After giving these orders, she glanced at the hideous corpse of the Liao State assassin again, her face was cold and pale, she still felt frightened, and gritted her teeth and said:
"Yelu Longxu dares to be so rude, the Liao State is too deceitful!"
"When I returned to the palace, I wrote a letter to ask the Empress Dowager Xiao to see how Emperor Liao explained?"
Cao Bin shook his head and smiled:
"I advise Niangniang to save some pen and ink, don't hurt him, writing a letter is just a waste of time."
Empress Dowager Pan was breathless, glared at Cao Bin and said angrily:
"What then? This palace was bullied by him in vain? ”
As she spoke, she seduced with some arrogance:
"Emperor Taizong left a will before his death, whoever can recover the sixteen states of Yanyun will be crowned king!"
Hearing Empress Dowager Pan mention the old things of Emperor Taizong, She Taijun was in high spirits and was about to say something, but he shook his head and said:
"Now is not the right time, and the ministers will not support the Northern Expedition."
Empress Dowager Pan was stunned for a moment, and said unhappily:
"This palace is not going to send troops to the Northern Expedition...... I want Emperor Liao to personally write a letter to apologize to the palace and promise that this will not happen again. ”
As she spoke, she looked at Cao Bin and said in an agitated tone:
"Cao Qing, can you say that you will retire the Liao envoy and intimidate the Xia envoy, and possibly persuade the Liao Emperor to apologize and promise not to send assassins again?"
Cao Bin was a little speechless, this woman really thought that she was a Liaoxia envoy who was eloquent and persuaded by eloquence alone.
So he shook his head and smiled:
"Niangniang, in fact, it doesn't mean anything to ask Yelu Longxu to apologize, it's better to call him directly and arrest him to apologize in person."
Hearing this, Empress Dowager Pan's snow-white cheeks suddenly trembled, she said that the matter of sealing the king was just to stimulate Cao Bin, but she didn't want to really fight.
Since the founding of the country, the Great Song Dynasty has lost to the Liao State too many times, and although she now has a lot of ambitions, she really doesn't have much courage to fight hard with the strong Liao State.
When Taizu and Taizong were in power, the famous generals of the Great Song Dynasty were like clouds, with millions of elite soldiers, and they were still defeated by the Khitan, not to mention now?
Therefore, when it came to the war with Liao, she was stunned from the bottom of her heart.
Just as she was about to refute, she heard Cao Bin say:
"But the old lady is also right, now is not a good time, in another three or five years, when the new law is completely mature, it will be the opportunity of the Northern Expedition."
Empress Dowager Pan breathed a sigh of relief and said a little speechlessly:
"So, you can't get Emperor Liao to apologize?"
Cao Bin smiled:
"Yes, yes, but I'm afraid that my mother won't dare to take risks......"
As he was talking, Mu Guiying finished inspecting the assassin's corpse, and also walked over and said to Empress Dowager Pan and Cao Bin:
"Niangniang, Wei Guogong, these people are indeed Liao."
"But Gui Ying thinks that these people also have the intention of covering up the crimes of some people......
