This night, in the Bianliang Palace, the little emperor tossed and turned all night on the dragon couch, although he was excited, he also forced himself to sleep.

I just hope that in my sleep, I will have the opportunity to see the true face of the gods.

However, what he didn't know was that the "immortal" he was thinking about had already left Bianliang City at this moment, taking advantage of the night to go all the way north.

After all, everything Meng Xiuyuan can do has already been done.

He not only spent his efforts to cut the marrow for Zhao Xu's Yi Jing, regulate the qi and veins, and make his old diseases completely dispelled, but also left a stream of true qi in his body for future needs.

This Northern Soul True Qi, which is fused with the Qi of the Clear Spirit, is quite good in both quality and quantity. If it is placed on ordinary people in the rivers and lakes, it is enough to help them achieve excellent martial arts, and there are few opponents in the rivers and lakes.

Emperor Zhao Xu is not skilled in martial arts, so he can't use this true qi, but he can also rely on this true qi to live a healthy and worry-free life.

What's more, because Meng Xiuyuan's true qi was contaminated with the breath of "reckless Zhu Clam", when it was imported into Zhao Xu's body at this time, it also gained a lot of benefits.

I dare not say that all poisons are invasive, but at least the vast majority of chronic poisons will not have an effect on them, and even if they are really poisonous, they will automatically detoxify slowly under the true air rotation.

Under such circumstances, even if Zhao Xu offends too many ministers in the future in his reforms, so that someone wants to assassinate him, I am afraid it will not be easy to succeed.

Coupled with the "Wu Mu Testament", "Liaoyuan Marksmanship" and "Health Tips", Meng Xiuyuan felt that as long as this little emperor did not forget his original intention and governed the country seriously in the future, he would definitely be able to avoid the occurrence of the "shame of Jingkang" in the future.

At this point, Meng Xiuyuan had no reason to stay.

Although Tokyo Bianliang is prosperous and charming, it is not worth Meng Xiuyuan's delay and nostalgia.

The Liao Song Dynasty had already started a war, and he didn't know what the situation was at the border pass, so he was a little relieved if he didn't go to see it with his own eyes earlier.

Under the moonlight, Meng Xiuyuan turned into a green shadow, floating faintly from the endless plain, silently.

……

It is worth mentioning that at this time, the Liao and Song Dynasty had been fighting for more than a month, and the war had started in full swing.

Meng Xiuyuan wanted to influence the battle situation with his own strength, so he could only run towards the head of the enemy.

Therefore, when Meng Xiuyuan infiltrated the Great Song Palace, he also deliberately went to find the battle report documents sent back from the front line, so that he could understand the development of the war and have some clue about the next action.

This time to attack the Song Dynasty in the south, the Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji had a lot of plans, and as soon as the war began, the troops were divided into three ways and attacked together, without giving the Great Song Dynasty a chance to breathe.

Among them, the first two heavy troops were all from Nanjing, Liao, all the way south, through the sixteen states of Yanyun, intending to use their own cavalry superiority to drive straight into the North China Plain and attack the hinterland of the Central Plains.

Fortunately, the Song army also had heavy troops there, relying on the "Yusai" and "Gusai" built in peacetime, although it was a little embarrassed for a while, it still held the battle line and did not ask the Liao people to break through.

The so-called elm plug refers to the defense line built with elm forests, and the so-called gu plug refers to the defense line built by the river.

Although Song Liao has been peaceful for a long time because of the "Tanyuan Alliance", Yu Liao has always been on guard. In addition, there are no Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, and there is no barrier in the north, so under the vigilance of the Song State, it is heavily guarded in this North China Plain, which makes it difficult for the Liao State to succeed for a while.

The Liao State had also anticipated such a scene, so about half a month ago, it suddenly divided an army of tens of thousands of people, marched all the way to the west, and then attacked from Shanxi, intending to break through in a roundabout way.

And judging from the battle reports sent back in the past two days, tens of thousands of horses on this road were actually led by Yelu Hongji, the emperor of Liao. Obviously, this Yelu Hongji has already made up his mind to do something on this western front.

Under Yelu Hongji's personal expedition, the Liao army on the western road was like a bamboo, and according to a recent battle report, his troops had approached the Yanmen Pass.

The terrain of the land of the Three Jin Dynasty is rugged, not very suitable for cavalry, and there are many passes, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the Song State did not expect the Liao State to attack this road, so only a few thousand soldiers were left here to defend.

In the face of the attack of tens of thousands of troops of the Liao State, although the Song army occupied a favorable position, its strength was still too weak.

Obviously, if there is no timely support for this Yanmen Pass, I am afraid it will be in danger.

Knowing these news, although Meng Xiuyuan didn't know how this little emperor Zhao Xu would deal with it, he had already made some decisions.

……

Yanmen Pass is in the Yanmen dangerous road thirty miles north of Daizhou, and it is 1,500 miles away from Bianliang.

Meng Xiuyuan was in a hurry, and it only took less than two days.

By the time he arrived near the gate, it was already dusk. Looking down from the top of the mountain, I could see that the soldiers were all gray-faced, and many of them had already hung colors, obviously the war was not going well, and they had just suffered defeat.

Fortunately, the city pass has not been broken, and the Liao army has not yet attacked.

Yanmen Pass is an important town in the north of the Great Song Dynasty, more than 40 passes in Shanxi, with Yanmen being the most powerful key, dozens of miles outside the pass, it is the boundary of Liao.

If this pass is broken, the land of the Great Song Dynasty and the Three Jin Dynasty will not be guaranteed. After the Liao army passed the customs, it went directly south, and it could go straight to Luoyang, and the Central Plains was also in danger.

Meng Xiuyuan didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly continued to go north.

The danger of the terrain of Yanmen Pass can be reflected in the name. It is said that the wild goose travels south and returns to the north, and it is difficult to fly over the peak, and it must pass between the two peaks, so it is called "Yanmen".

However, such rocky cliffs and rugged mountain roads are like a small mound to Meng Xiuyuan. He made a detour from Gaoling in the western part of the country, and simply passed through the Song army outpost and entered the north of Yanmen Pass.

With tens of thousands of troops, the Liao State attacked a pass guarded by only a few thousand Song troops, which can be said to be inevitable.

Therefore, the camp of the Liao army was clearly set up a few miles outside Yanmen Pass, just for the convenience of attacking the city, but it was not afraid that the Song army would go out of the city to counterattack.

Meng Xiuyuan stood on top of the mountain, looking at the Liao military camp clearly visible, and couldn't help but smile slightly, only to say that there was a lot less trouble, and immediately went straight away.

However, just as he was about to walk out of the woods after descending the mountains, his eyes suddenly froze and he became alert.

Because he suddenly heard a faint breathing sound in his ears, its momentum was long and far away, and it was obvious that he had a very high level of internal kung fu in his body.

Meng Xiuyuan didn't know that there was such a master in Liaoguo, so he immediately searched for his voice and left, preparing to meet the comer for a while. No, when he got closer and heard more clearly, he felt that the breath was very familiar.

After turning a mountain bend, Meng Xiuyuan saw the appearance of the man clearly, and couldn't help but be very surprised in his heart, and opened his mouth to speak with internal force:

"Miss Wang, what are you doing here?"

Meng Xiuyuan's skills were already extraordinary at this time, so Wang Yuyan didn't notice that he was close at all, and suddenly heard a voice in her ears, and couldn't help but be startled, and after a while, she came back to her senses and turned to see Meng Xiuyuan:

"Master Meng, you're finally here...... This is not the place to speak, you come with me first. ”

While speaking, Wang Yuyan immediately stepped on "Lingbo Microstep", her figure flickered, and she took Meng Xiuyuan around a few bends between the mountains, and finally came to a relatively hidden mountain nest before slowly stopping.

"Miss Wang, how many days have you been here at Yanmen Pass?"

Meng Xiu saw that Wang Yuyan was quite familiar with the terrain around here, so he couldn't help asking.

"It's been four or five days...... If you don't come again, I won't be able to hold on. ”

Wang Yuyan glanced at Meng Xiuyuan with a smile and said complainingly in a joking tone.

Meng Xiuyuan was stunned when he heard this, and then looked at Wang Yuyan carefully, but saw that this girl who was as clean and dustless as a fairy on weekdays was quite windy and dusty at this time, obviously not having a comfortable time in the past few days.

Thinking about it, Song Liao went to war, and this Yanmen Pass was a time when the situation was tense. It is obviously not easy for Wang Yuyan to hide here as a girl.

"Then, why did you come ......here, Miss Wang?"

The more Meng Xiuyuan thought about it, the more confused he became, and immediately asked.

"Grandma called me here. You know, she doesn't like to owe people a family ......."

Immediately, Wang Yuyan briefly explained the reason to Meng Xiuyuan.

It turned out that it was the last time Xixia said goodbye, and after Grandma Tong returned to the Vulture Palace, she thought something was wrong, only to feel that she had been saved by Meng Xiuyuan again, and she felt very uncomfortable.

Therefore, for several months, the Vulture Palace has been sending people to look for Meng Xiuyuan's traces in the rivers and lakes. I just hope that after finding him, I will invite him back to the Vulture Palace.

Unexpectedly, Meng Xiuyuan seemed to have evaporated from the world in the past few months, and he had disappeared completely, but the war between the Liao and Song dynasties suddenly broke out, and the form suddenly became tense.

After Grandma Tong learned the news, she immediately had an idea.

"Grandma said, a benevolent and chivalrous person like Meng Gongzi, who serves the country and the people, if he knew that the Song State was invaded by the Liao State, he would definitely not ignore it.

I think I am cultivating in a blessed place, and I don't know what is going on in the outside world.

Therefore, she sent me to secretly hinder the Liao army from capturing Yanmen Pass.

In this way, it can be regarded as doing something on behalf of Meng Gongzi, and slightly repaying you for saving your life......"

Wang Yuyan looked at Meng Xiuyuan and spoke eloquently.

Meng Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then smiled at Wang Yuyan and asked:

Miss Wang's words were obviously polite.

Senior sister, she can't say anything 'benevolent and chivalrous, for the country and the people'.

I think what she said should be that my little junior brother is 'nosy'. ”

Wang Yuyan chuckled when she heard this, and it seemed that she was guessed by Meng Xiuyuan.

After a while, Meng Xiuyuan suddenly bowed his hand slightly to Wang Yuyan and said:

"In this way, Yanmen Pass has not been broken by the Liao army for a few days, and it is also due to Miss Wang......

Seeing this, Wang Yuyan hurriedly waved her hand and said to Meng Xiu:

"Meng Gongzi is serious, I just sneak into the Liao army camp every night to do some damage, which is not a credit.

Moreover, in the past two days, the guards in the Liao army camp have become more and more tight, and it is difficult for me to make any achievements.

The last time I infiltrated last night, I was almost spotted. Fortunately, with the help of a masked master, it was not exposed, so that he was besieged in the camp of the Liao army......"

"Masked master?" Meng Xiuyuan was a little surprised when he heard this.

"Well, I've been sneaking into the Liao army camp for the past few nights and found someone doing the same thing as me.

And that man acted decisively, but he was much more efficient than me.

A lot of the grain, grass and equipment of the Liao army were destroyed by him.

I've only seen that man from afar, and I see that he is burly and strong, and his martial arts are excellent, and he is obviously not an ordinary person.

However, he deliberately concealed his martial arts skills, and I can't be sure of his identity......"

Wang Yuyan relied on her memory and slowly explained to Meng Xiuyuan.

Meng Xiuyuan's heart moved when he heard this, and he only said that it was who this "masked master" in Wang Yuyan's words was, and it was easy to guess.

Wang Yuyan Bingxue was smart and deliberately explained the matter in such detail, but she was reluctant to mention Xiao Feng's name directly, obviously knowing the grievances and entanglements between Meng Xiuyuan and Xiao Feng in the Shaolin Temple.

Shaking his head with a smile, Meng Xiu glanced at this thoughtful girl from afar, and arched his hand again:

"Thank you, Miss Wang, for the reminder.

This 'masked master' is willing to hinder the Liao State from attacking the Song Dynasty in the south, and he is a great hero for the country and the people.

Whoever he is, if he wants to afterwards, I want to invite him to a pot of wine......"

While the two were talking, the sun had set in the western mountains, and the sky was getting dark.

Meng Xiuyuan only said that it was time to do the right thing, and immediately said goodbye to Wang Yuyan and prepared to go to the Liao army camp.

No, Wang Yuyan actually stopped him and said:

"Master Meng, let's go together.

I have been in the camp of the Liao army for a few days, and I am relatively familiar with it after all.

Besides, my grandmother has repeatedly told me that if I see you this time, I must invite you back to the Vulture Palace.

I'm afraid that if I don't follow you at this moment, I won't be able to find you anymore when the soldiers and horses are in chaos. ”

"No need, Miss Wang. I'll come back to you as soon as I'm done. ”

Meng Xiuyuan patted Wang Yuyan's shoulder as he spoke, and then without further words, he turned around and floated away.

Wang Yuyan saw that Meng Xiu's feet were far away from the ground, and his figure was more than ten zhang away in an instant, and she couldn't help but be shocked in her heart, and secretly said that this Meng Gongzi hadn't seen him for several months, and his light skills were actually stronger than in Western Xia.

At this time, she also understood why Meng Xiuyuan was reluctant to take her to the Liao army camp. With her kung fu at this time, although she has rarely met opponents in this world, she can be placed next to Meng Xiuyuan, and she is still suspected of dragging her feet from time to time.

……

As Wang Yuyan said, the Liao army camp is indeed very well guarded at the moment, with three steps and one post, and five steps and one sentry.

However, in the night, Meng Xiuyuan used his true skills and wanted to infiltrate, but these Liao soldiers who did not have mastery of martial arts could not find his trace at all.

The only thing that bothered Meng Xiuyuan was that the layout in this Liao army camp was very exquisite, and each tent looked exactly the same from the outside, and it was impossible to see where Yelu Hongji, who was the emperor, lived.

Helpless, Meng Xiuyuan could only start from the core area and investigate little by little, in order to find clues in the military camp of tens of thousands of people and find out the emperor of the Liao Kingdom.

In this way, until midnight, Meng Xiuyuan finally gained something.

He found a tent with a large furnishings, which was markedly different from the tents of the senior officers he had seen before.

sneaked in quietly, but saw that on the top of the bookcase, there were many battle reports, some of which had been corrected, and some of which had not yet been moved.

Looking further in, under the dim light, I saw a big man sleeping on the bed, full of gills and beard, and his face was mighty.

Seeing this situation, Meng Xiu had already roughly identified the identity of this person in his heart, and immediately wanted to call him up to confirm it.

No, he just walked to the bed, and his ears moved, but he heard a master outside the tent behind him rushing in.

"Brother Meng, don't hurt him first......"
