The dragon army is also in the southeast, once they are given time, after digesting the previous city, no one will continue to send troops to the north.

Under the ensuing internal and external troubles, Yelu Hongji felt that he was also very big.

Fortunately, Liao is not without talents, for example, Zhang Jian put forward his own suggestion, that is, to hold peace talks with Su Shi first and stabilize the current situation. Then look for an opportunity to ask for help from other countries, and it is best to find reinforcements, even if there are no reinforcements, you can borrow food to solve the problem.

Last year, Su Shi's cheap grain entered the Liao State, and they took the opportunity to expand a lot of troops. In terms of troops, they still have more than two million now, and they are not afraid of the dragon army when they really fight, and now as long as they are given time to breathe a sigh of relief, there is no problem in holding the Liao State, and it is not impossible to regain the lost territory if they get it right.

After Zhang Jian's recital was seen by Yelu Hongji, he also saw hope.

He first found Yelu Chongyuan and Xiao Hui and proposed to negotiate peace with Su Shi, and soon got the support of these two.

The three of them had all cooperated with Su Shi in business before, and they all made a lot of money. This time Liao and the Dragon Army went to war, and their business cooperation naturally stopped, and now if the peace talks can be successful, the business cooperation may continue, which is naturally what they expect in their hearts.

With the support of the two, Yelu Hongji presided over the government, although there were still some important ministers who opposed the peace talks, believing that they should not bow to a dragon empire that they did not recognize, and that it had not even been a year since the official establishment of the country.

But after Yelu Chongyuan, Xiao Hui and others stood up in support, this voice was forcibly suppressed.

Yelu Hongji made a decision when the dynasty made peace talks with Su Shi, and sent Wen Xing, the secretary of Honglu Temple, to the Dragon Empire.

At the court meeting, a resolution was also made to unite Zhao Song and Manmeng, and Zhang Jian, the envoy of the three divisions, was the main envoy and sent to the two places. But in fact, Zhang Jian was not seen at the court meeting, and this person had already left Shangjing one step ahead of others to carry out his own mission.

Before, Zhang Jian suspected that there were Su Shi's people at the top of the Liao Kingdom, otherwise, why was there something here, and how could the Dragon Empire know so quickly. In order to prevent him from being stopped by someone who cares when he asks for help, he leaves one step ahead of time after applying to Yeluhongji.

At the end of the meeting, Yeluren first regained the position of general commander, if possible, the Liao State did not want to start a war with the Dragon Army, but the necessary preparations still had to be done, just put hope on peace talks, which is not something that a smart regime would do.

The loss of Liaoyang City in Tokyo made Liaoxingzong angry, allowing Yelu Hongji to be in charge of the government in advance, and history underwent a great change at this time.

......

Zhao Song, Nandi, Jiangning Mansion.

To the south, in an inconspicuous courtyard in the town of Hushu, a man is carrying a decoction to the side room.

Pushing the door in, a loud coughing sound was quickly heard inside.

"Thank you, Holy Lord, why are you sitting up again, lie down quickly." Seeing the patient get up and sit down, Lian Tiexin, who was holding the Chinese medicine, took a few steps and stepped forward.

"It's comfortable to sit." When Xie Chuanyun saw that the person who came was Lian Tiexin, there was a little smile on his face.

But then there was a wry smile, he never thought that when his life was about to die, it was not the high-ranking people in the sect who stayed by his side, nor his righteous sons and daughters, nor even people in the sect, but the thugs of the opponent's secret spy department.

By the way, it seems that this person also betrayed the secret spy department, and he did things for the person named Su Shi.

A holy master who was hunted down and killed by his own sect, a traitor to the secret spy department, the two finally walked together, I have to say that it is quite incomprehensible, and I can't laugh or cry.

Gao Fuhai joined forces with the Secret Spy Division, and Lian Tiexin made it happen. To say that this Gao Fuhai is also angry, with the support of the imperial court, he secretly started several times and solved many high-level members of the secret spy department, until Su Shi learned the truth and put the news into the rivers and lakes, and his identity was exposed.

That is, exposed

, Gao Fuhai was also ruthless enough, and directly led people to rush to the White Lotus Sect and raided Xie Chuanyun.

Without any preparation, and just as Xie Fuyun was in retreat to heal his injuries, Gao Fuhai's sudden appearance caught them off guard.

After the healing was interrupted, the Holy Lord Xie Chuanyun spat out a mouthful of blood and slaughtered under the protection of more than a dozen loyal sect members.

With the support of the secret spy department, Gao Fuhai had a lot of money in his hands and hired a lot of good hands, and under their pursuit, the good players in the sect around Xie Chuanyun died one after another. By the third day of the hunt, there were only two people left with him.

More than a dozen masters of super-first-class strength surrounded them, and when they saw that Xie Chuanyun was about to be besieged to death, the masked Lian Tiexin suddenly appeared.

He was once tortured by Su Shi, and later spent a lot of effort to heal his body, and as soon as Lian Tiexin, who had connected his muscles and bones, appeared, he forcibly killed a bloody path, and then under the desperate death of the remaining two sect members, he created an opportunity for him to take away Xie Chuanyun, who was seriously injured.

followed the two of them all the way to escape, until they came to Hushu Town, Xie Chuanyun's body couldn't withstand the trek, so Lian Tiexin rented a courtyard here and placed him here.

Lian Tiexin knew the relationship between Xie Chuanyun and Ye Lengchan, and he wanted to send this person to the territory of the Dragon Empire, so that he would be tantamount to making a great contribution. But it's a pity that the current Xie Chuanyun obviously can't stand the toss and is already terminally ill. In addition, from here to the land of the Dragon Empire, thousands of miles away, the identities of the two of them are not visible, and it is basically impossible to go smoothly, and in the end he had to give up this idea.

Now when he saw that Xie Fanyun was still coughing violently when he sat up, and there was blood at the corner of his mouth, he knew that he was afraid that the person in front of him would not live long.

"Ahem, thank you for a while, hehe, I also know, who entrusted you here, but it's a pity that I put the old bones, I'm afraid I can't hold on and I won't be able to see my daughter." Xie Fanyun said while coughing.

Although he has a disease that cannot be cured, as the White Lotus Holy Lord for so many years, Xie Chuanyun's mind is not bad, he is still a smart person, and many things are clear when he thinks about it.

"Thank you, Holy Lord, don't be so pessimistic, as long as you go to the Dragon Empire, there are many famous doctors and holy hands, and they have been picked up by them when their tendons have been broken, and the Holy Lord's illness is nothing in their eyes."

"That's different." Xie Chuanyun shook his head, "You are suffering from a skin disease, but I am sick from the bottom of my lungs, and there is no cure. Okay, I'm going to have to trouble you to get me pen and paper."

Xie Chuanyun asked for paper and pencils, and even Tiexin didn't dare to slack off, so he went out to look for it, and it didn't take long to get it back. followed Xie Chuanyun to support his sick body and wrote a letter to his righteous daughter Ye Lengchan, which can be regarded as his last letter.

More than an hour after the letter was signed with the word Xie Chuanyun, Xie Chuanyun fell on the wooden bed and closed his eyes forever.

Xie Chuanyun finally died, and Lian Tiexin carefully put the letter into his arms, which was related to whether he could establish himself in the Dragon Empire in the future. When Su Shi left, he left him behind and let him be responsible for protecting Xie Chuanyun, now that the main master is dead, it is time for him to leave Zhao Song.

Spent money to find a good coffin and buried Xie Chuanyun, but for safety, he did not erect a monument, but after remembering this location in his heart, Lian Tiexin left here and went straight to the north.

......

Jinzhou.

This city, which had just been captured by the Dragon Army, has now become a border city between the Dragon Empire and the Liao Kingdom, and a large number of Dragon troops are stationed here.

The military discipline of the dragon army is very good, after entering the city, except for some powerful people and gentry who were punished, the other people are safe and sound, when they see that the dragon army really did not commit any offense against the people, they are also bolder, all the shops are reopened, and the lively side of this place is restored.

When Miao Xiu appeared in the city with a caravan, he saw a scene where it was still prosperous.

Especially before the newly opened grain store in the city, bags of grain were placed outside the store, and today's grain price was written on the wooden sign on the side, and the price was so low that Miao Xiu once thought that he was wrong.

On the order of Song Renzong, he came to the Dragon Empire to buy mountain ginseng. After the matter was reported to the Liao State, they agreed to it.

As far as the Liao State is concerned, they don't want to see anything happen to Song Renzong now, and they also point out that in the war against the Dragon Empire, Zhao Song can help. And if it is now the civil strife in Zhao and Song, it will definitely not be a good thing for them.

The Liao State agreed to let go, and Miao Xiu came smoothly with the caravan, and also passed by many important Liao towns on the way. But everywhere I passed, I saw more of the victims of the Liao Kingdom begging along the streets, and the food shortage has affected more people over time.

I have seen the food shortage, and now when I enter Jinzhou City, when I see that the food price here is so cheap, how can Miao Xiu not be surprised, will not be surprised?

"Miao Gongzi, please come here, Concubine Xi is very happy to learn that you are coming, she has informed us and others, and she will definitely entertain you well." Long Xingyun greeted him in person, and said with a thick smile on his face.

"Well said, well said." Miao Xiu also smiled and nodded. Or his niece has face, look at Long Xingyun's foot, hundreds of sergeants are accompanying him, and all of them are burly, and they are the elite at a glance.

With the protection of these people, there will be no hidden dangers in safety on the way to the Dragon Empire. It's not like it's not at all like when crossing the Liao Border, a group of mountain bandits will rush out from time to time, and the people he brought originally had thousands of people, but along the way, now only five hundred people are left.
