Zhao Ta and the three of them had a meal and a break from the water, and Xiaoxing stayed overnight, and entered the boundary of Hebei East Road in one day.

Now there are two roads in Hebei, and Taihang Mountain on the west road is separated from them, and the east falls into the hands of Tian Hu.

The east road was separated by the Yellow River, and the west also fell into the hands of Tian Hu.

Tian Hu guarded the hinterland of the two roads in Hebei, occupied the land of 31 counties in eight states, backed by Taihang Mountain, reached the Yellow River in front, connected to the Liao State in the north, and confronted the Great Song Dynasty in the south.

For a while, no one could do anything about it.

At this moment, the three of Zhao Ta had already changed into horses, and went north along the east bank of the Yellow River, running through Cangzhou.

There is no state capital to the north of Cangzhou, there are only two county seats, and then go forward to the Song-Liao border.

The border of the northeast section of Hebei Road is actually bounded by the Yellow River.

The Yellow River travels thousands of miles north from Henan Province, and when it reaches here, it suddenly turns at a right angle, from a direct north to an east, and then flows into the Bohai Sea.

On the opposite side of this section of the Yellow River is the Nanjing Road of the Liao State, and the capital is Xijin Province.

And stationed on Nanjing Road is the cousin of Emperor Tianzuo, the grandson of Yelu Zongzhen of Liaoxing Sect, the nephew of Yelu Hongji of Liaodao Sect, and Yeluchun of the King of Qin and Jin.

Yes, Yeluchun's title is King of Qin and Jin.

In the second year of Baoda, Emperor Tianzuo fled into Jiashan, and the ministers directly supported the Qin and Jin King Yeluchun as the emperor, called Tianxi Emperor, and descended to Tianzuo Emperor as the king of Xiangyin, and sent an envoy to Fengbiao Jin State, begging to become a vassal.

If Liao is also one of the orthodoxy of this era, then there will be one more emperor in the history of King Qin or King Jin.

He is now staying in Nanjing, and the Liao State resents the army, which was formed and recruited by him at the beginning.

Originally, according to the normal time, in the previous few years, that is, in the ninth year of Liao Tianqing, the Jin army would capture the Liao State Shangjing Linhuang Mansion, and in the second year of Baoda, the Jin army captured Zhongjing Dading Mansion.

But because of the death of Wanyan Aguda, this matter has been completely postponed, and now Shangjing is still in the hands of Liao.

However, the form is not optimistic, although Shangjing has not been lost, but some territory in the north and east of Shangjing has fallen into the hands of the Jin State, and the Jurchens have set up heavy troops in this area and launched an attack on Shangjing, the capital of Liao, only sooner or later.

Feng Shui crossed the bank of the Yellow River, and many Song troops patrolled here, Zhao Ta just glanced at it from afar, and took Yue Fei Ouyang Bei around the west.

It is impossible to pass from the normal ferry, and even if it does, there are still Liao troops waiting on the opposite side.

He planned to go around to a place where there were few people, after all, the distance of this line is not short, and the rugged places are not nothing, and the border between Song and Liao is actually not very tightly defended, and there has been no war for many years, and the defenders on both sides of the strait are very sparse and lazy.

In the evening, when they came to a small village, the three of them went into the village to buy food, and someone came to talk to them and asked if they wanted to cross the river.

After confirming the authenticity and asking the price, when the night was a little hazy, he went to the river to secretly get on the boat, and then crossed the Yellow River, came to the opposite bank, and officially set foot on the border of Liao.

Then he hurriedly stepped up, and it took a few days to finally enter Shangjing Road, and when he really arrived outside Shangjing, it was already August 15.

On the one hand, the Jin State was extremely oppressed, worried that the Jurchen spies would be mixed into the city, and on the other hand, the Khitan also learned to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, and they were afraid that something bad would happen on this day, so the investigation was still close.

Zhao Ta took out three road citation certificates from his body, as well as the identity book, all of which were forged by himself, which was more real than the real thing.

At the city gate, a piece of silver was placed under the book and handed it over, saying that it was a merchant by the Bohai Sea, who came to watch the market in the city, and the Khitan soldiers guarding the city secretly took the silver, glanced at it, and waved it away.

After entering the city, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief, only to see that the capital is very large, and the population is also very large, although it is not as prosperous as Tokyo, but it has a unique style.

The commercial houses on both sides of the street are built with blue bricks or ashlars, which are very tall, and the overall style is rough and desolate, but there are some fine points in the subtleties, and it is an imitation of the Song Dynasty system at a glance.

Zhao Ta didn't know where Xiao Min lived, so after thinking about it, he went to the shop selling furs on the side of the road to inquire, and the shopkeeper laughed when he heard this: "Honored guest, but you admire the marriage of Linya and want to watch the ceremony?" ”

Zhao Ta smiled and said: "Exactly, exactly, please tell the elder brother." ”

The shopkeeper shook his head and said tauntingly: "You don't ask where Da Shi Linya lives, but you ask the county lord's residence, I don't think it's to watch the ceremony, but to see the county lord's face, right?" ”

The corners of Zhao Ta's mouth twitched when he heard this: "It's really ashamed that the old brother saw it." ”

The shopkeeper said: "What's so ashamed of this, the county lord is a famous beauty in my upper capital, who doesn't want to take a look?" Even when I came home from the shop two years ago, I always made a detour to walk from that side. ”

Zhao Ta touched his chin and said, "The elder brother is really temperamental, and the younger brother admires it!" ”

The shopkeeper smiled: "The beauty BMW, I love the Khitan, see that you are not from my clan, where did you come from?" ”

Zhao Ta said: "The younger brothers are from Bohai, and they came to watch Shangjing City, and they heard that Lin Ya was married, and they admired the name of the county lord, so they wanted to secretly peek at one or two." ”

The shopkeeper waved his hand: "You Bohai people are all childish, my Khitan daughter can never twist and pinch to be a little daughter, you don't need to peep, you want to wait in front of the mansion from afar!" ”

Zhao Tali said: "The elder brother is right, and I also ask the elder brother to inform the county lord's mansion." ”

The shopkeeper said: "You go north to the center of the city, and then go all the way east, and you will come across Silver Lion Street, and you will see it not far after entering." ”

Zhao Ta nodded, and then went out to take Yue Fei and the two to find it, the shopkeeper shook his head behind him, and said to himself: "Young is good, alas, ......"

It took more than half an hour for the three of them to finally arrive at Silver Lion Street, but it was a street lined with noble mansions.

Although there are some commercial houses, most of them are silk and satin shops, gouache and rouge shops, jewelry stores, bookstores and other places, and there are no inns and restaurants.

Walking along the street, it didn't take long to see a tall mansion door hanging with a horizontal plaque of "Liaoxi County Wangfu".

Because the two surnames of Khitan are either Yelu or Xiao, the surname is not written in the house, only the official name, otherwise it is impossible to identify which one it is.

Zhao Ta stood not far from the door and took a look, seeing that there was some excitement at the moment, some maids and servants were in and out, moving things, and red lanterns were also hung on both sides of the mansion gate, I don't know whether to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival or to celebrate the coming big joy.

Yue Fei whispered: "Senior brother, your friend has a very big official position. ”

He looked at the plaque of the king of Liaoxi County and thought that Zhao Ta's friend was the king of Liao.

Zhao Tan narrowed his eyes and said, "The collapse of the Liao Kingdom is imminent, what is the use of the official university." ”

Along the way, he and Yue Fei deduced the future situation of the Liao State and came to the conclusion that there is a chance that the Liao will not escape the doom of destroying the country!

No matter how you look at it, with the current decay and weak military strength of the Liao State, under the powerful military suppression and undisguised ambition of the Jin State like the rising sun, it may not be spared.

What's more, there is a big Song Dynasty in the south, although the Song is also weak, but Liao is sandwiched between the two after all, I am afraid that if you don't want to die, you have to die!

This will be a great change in imperial power, the redistribution of land, the change of authority of the artifact, and the reshuffling of the world.

This will be a great change in imperial power, the redistribution of land, the change of authority of the artifact, and the reshuffling of the world.

Yue Fei said: "Senior brother said yes, but doesn't the Liao Kingdom know it?" ”

Zhao Ta shook his head: "There are sober people at any time, even if the empire is stupid, there are people who can see through the general trend before the collapse, but they can't take precautions many years in advance, and when the general trend is now, how can they escape this ruthless crushing?" ”

Yue Fei was silent, falling into thought.

Zhao Ta said: "Let's go, go to a restaurant outside this street to eat and drink, and then find an inn to live in." ”

After he finished speaking, the three of them turned around and walked out of the street, and at that moment, there was a sudden sound of eagles chirping in the sky.

The voice was sharp and piercing, and the penetrating power was so strong that it could be described as terrifying and cloud-containing.

"Why is the eagle so loud?" Yue Fei said in surprise, looked up, and saw a big bird with wings and black feathers and golden claws flying in the air.

Yue Fei immediately changed color, this eagle is so big, no, no, this is not an eagle but an eagle, but the body size is so big, even in the eagle it is extremely rare.

Zhao Ta and Ouyang Bei also looked up, Zhao Ta squinted with his hand on the pergola, and Ouyang Bei jumped with his eyebrows, this big bird looks a little familiar......

In mid-air, the eagle eagle was flying comfortably, and it was in a good mood, only to see its left paw grasping, grabbing, and grabbing.

Well, practice claw power.

Then switch to the right paw, one grab, one grab, one grab.

Well, invincible, who can compete in the sky and the world? Quack, quack, chirp, invincible! It's so cool!

The eagle eagle saw the mansion below, came back so quickly, and actually arrived home, it circled, and wanted to fly to the mansion.

Well? There are so many two-legged beasts down there, how can there be a few of them looking up at it in the sky?

What to see, haven't you seen the Condor!

The eagle eagle is a little unhappy, it is now mixing well in this city, who doesn't recognize it? How could there be a two-legged beast so unsightly, and actually looked up at it for so long!

The eagle eagle was angry, so he wanted to swoop and scare these two-legged beasts who didn't know what to do.

It did what it said, and immediately rushed downward, but it only fell halfway, and suddenly its body was stagnant in the air.

Its two round eyes were more than a circle larger than usual, the two-legged beast, how could the two-legged beast look familiar? That's, that's ......

The eagle let out a frightened cry, ten times louder than before, and its head turned upwards into the sky.

Oh my God, what does it see? It must have been mistaken about it, was it the two-legged beast? Is it the terrifying two-legged beast back then?

Is it the horrible guy who bounced it on the head, stabbed it on the neck, stroked it when it was fine, lifted it upside down and plucked its feathers?

It's him, it must be him!

The eagle eagle confirmed again in the air, and saw that the two-legged beast below was raising a hand to make a plucking motion, and the eagle was so frightened that he immediately shrank his neck and flew away.

Zhao Ta scolded on the ground: "Guy with no conscience, forget who saved your life in the first place!" ”

Ouyang Bei also said: "I really have no conscience, I also caught a hare for it to eat at that time." ”

Yue Fei wondered, "Senior brother, don't you know this big bird?" ”

Zhao Ta said angrily: "Go out and find a restaurant, sit and talk!" ”

A few people left, and the eagle went back to the mansion from another place at this time, and circled twice, the more it pondered, the more wrong it became, and its brain was a little insufficient.

In fact, such a big bird basically has some spirituality, and this eagle species is even more human, but after all, it is a bird, and some things can't be figured out.

It knew that Zhao Ta saved it at that time, but the pain of pulling out the arrow for it, and treating it as another flat-feathered bird, the discomfort of petting and petting, it can never forget.

The carved brain melon is not enough, and he doesn't know why he saw Zhao Ta, but he knows that Zhao Ta left it and its master, and then it followed its master to this big city, and never saw this two-legged beast again.

Why did these two leggs appear at this moment? No, no, it's going to go to its master and report it......

Xiao Min was sitting in the room in a daze at the moment, there was a bronze mirror in front of her, reflecting a flower-like face, but there was no trace of joy.

She doesn't know what she's thinking, Jin Bing is pressing, Da Liao is in danger, today's Mid-Autumn Festival reunion day, she will marry Lin Ya in a few days.

Her head was a mess, her heart was flustered as if she was about to lose her soul, and she thought of the person, and remembered the letter that the person had sent a few years ago, and the words of the letter were appalling, and she was half-convinced, and the man said that he had the testimony of the king of Dali in his hand, but, but, but......

But there was no news of the man, and she heard that the man had gone to quell the rebellion, to seek rebellion, and ...... Married!

This ruthless and unrighteous bad guy is really a bad person, bullying her young and ignorant, bullying her for being simple and easy to believe, and bullying her for seeing the world dangerous.

Xiao Min was thinking sadly, when suddenly the door squeaked open, and she saw the eagle eagle coming in through the bronze mirror, and then clumsily closed the door with her wings.

She suddenly wanted to cry, and when she saw the big bird, she remembered the man, which was left to her, and she didn't care about it, as well as the red horse.

The eagle suddenly chirped, seemed to be panicked, and then ran to her closer, touching her with his wings.

Xiao Min was stunned, she had never seen a big bird like this, she seemed to be in a hurry, as if she wanted to express something to her.

She reached out and gently stroked the eagle feather, and said, "Do you have something to tell me?" ”

The eagle nodded, it could understand, but it couldn't, and it only then did it occur to the eagle that it didn't know the language of the two-legged beast.

It was so anxious that it spun around on the ground, but it couldn't help it, it really couldn't express what the two-legged beast was coming.

Xiao Min saw that it was in a hurry like this, and couldn't help but stand up and said, "What happened, I've never seen you like this?" ”

The eagle let out a loud scream, then stretched out its beak and bit the hem of Xiao Min's skirt, dragging it outside, this is the only way the eagle can come up with, master, go to the street and take a look, the two-legged beast is coming.

Xiao Min was puzzled and followed it out.

The carving is already very large, and if you stand up straight on the ground, it is almost a person tall, which is why it is called the Condor by the people in the palace and even the people in the city.

However, Xiao Min's figure is also extremely tall, it is about the position under Xiao Min's ear, but Xiao Min feels that this eagle can still grow, after all, the lifespan of large eagles can be as long as more than eighty years, and this eagle is about ten years old now, and it is not yet fully adult.

A person and a bird went out, and the maids and servants on the road saluted one after another, and when they came out of the house door to the outside, they looked at the street, where were there any people, it was dumbfounded, where did the two-legged beast go?

It rushed to the place where Zhao Ta was standing just now, flapping its wings and screaming and jumping, Xiao Min walked over and said suspiciously: "Here...... Did something just happen? ”

The eagle was so anxious that it turned straight on the ground, no, no, it had to find the two-legged beast, the master seemed to have been looking for the two-legged beast, it had seen the master crying secretly, it must have something to do with the hateful two-legged beast, since it could not be found on the ground, then go to the sky to see if it could find any traces of the two-legged beast.

It leaned down suddenly, its wings were slightly propped up, Xiao Min saw this and walked over to get on the back of the eagle, and then saw that the eagle spread its wings, how long it was, and flew straight into the air with Xiao Min......
