Three days later, the scorching sun was in the sky, scorching the earth and Fu Zhaoxin's heart.

Fu Zhaoxin was sitting in the study at the moment, holding the letter sent by Yun Zixiao's fast horse in his hand, and the expression on his face didn't know whether he was happy or worried, "Yun Zixiao, my uncle originally planned to get rid of you by the hand of Liao, but I didn't expect it to be self-defeating and let you make such a miraculous achievement, it seems that my uncle underestimated you before!" ”

While talking to himself, he looked at the letter written by the queen, and sighed heavily, "Alas, if I let Yun Zixiao return to the Daimyo's Mansion alive, how should I explain to the official family and my sister!" ”

Fu Zhaoxin groaned and stood up, looking back at the map hanging on the wall of the study, his eyes suddenly lit up, "That's right! The biggest victim of Song Liao's peace is the Han Kingdom, why don't I send someone to disguise himself as a Han State soldier and kill Yun Zixiao on the way before he returns to the Daimyo's Mansion! But who should I send......"

At this time, there was a sudden knock at the door, and Fu Zhaoxin hurriedly asked vigilantly, "Who is it?" What's the point of looking for your uncle? ”

"Brother, it's me." This voice is hearty with a hint of uninhibitedness, it is Yuwen Yanyi. Before Fu Zhaoxin could open the door, Yuwen Yanyi had already pushed the door and walked in.

Fu Zhaoxin looked at Yuwen Yanyi, couldn't help but think sharply, and thought, "Brother Yi, although you are both civil and military, you are a rare talent, but the limelight is too prosperous. Although your father likes you, the official family is heavy, so what! If you don't die, I'm afraid that I, Fu Zhaoxin, will never have a chance to come out in my life! Why don't I send you to kill Yun Zixiao, he is now a hero of peace, as soon as he dies, the world will be narrow-minded and good at killing Zhongliang, and the eight kings will never spare you. If you don't kill Yun Zixiao, then I will report this matter to Long live, so that you can't eat and walk around! ”

Yuwen Yanyi saw that Fu Zhaoxin was silent for a long time, and he had already guessed nine times out of ten, a smug smile appeared on his face, and he deliberately asked, "Brother Yi, what are you thinking?" ”

Fu Zhaoxin came back to his senses at this time, and smiled a little at a loss, for fear that Yuwen Yanyi would notice the clues, "Hahaha, it's nothing!" I just think that the Song-Liao peace talks are successful, and there will be no more war at the border for a while, and I am happy! ”

Yuwen Yanyi shook his head, his eyebrows raised slightly, "Why should my brother hide it from me?" A few days ago, the Eight Kings came to the Daimyo Mansion in the name of the Sacrifice Army, presumably in addition to the Sacrifice Army and the cousin who visited him, there must be other nobles, right? ”

Fu Zhaoxin was stunned when he heard this, and whispered with some caution: "I am the only one who has read the queen's letter, how can you know about this?" ”

Yuwen Yanyi knocked on his temples and said with a smile: "Of course it's here!" ”

Fu Zhaoxin nodded, "Okay, you and I are a family, I won't hide it from you, but you dare to leak the news, be careful of your head!" ”

Yuwen Yanyi said disapprovingly: "Since the day I joined the army, I never thought that I would die right, so why should my brother scare me with my necklace head?" But please rest assured, no matter what kind of secret, I will keep my mouth shut! ”

"That's good." Fu Zhaoxin pointed to the family letter, and said very solemnly: "This is the family letter brought by the Eight Kings when they were in the army, and the family letter has the queen's seal, and he must not know the content of it." The book said that the official family intended for me to get rid of the thief as soon as possible, so as to prevent future troubles. I sent him to negotiate peace this time just to borrow a knife to kill people, but I didn't expect him to be able to retreat from the court of the Liao Kingdom, it must be the soul of Yun Yimo's thief! So we must not let him return to the Daimyo's Mansion alive! ”

Yuwen Yanyi seemed to be taken aback, and his face became a little pale, "What? Brother Yi wants to kill Yun Zixiao! He is a hero of the Great Song Dynasty, and he is also the cousin of the Eight Kings Chitose, if you kill him, I am afraid that ......"

Fu Zhaoxin said helplessly: "This is an order from Long Live Order, who dares to resist the order?" Even if this move is bound to annoy the Eight Kings, for the sake of the official family and the Great Song Dynasty, I will not hesitate to do so! ”

Yuwen Yanyi said worriedly: "Yun Zixiao Wen cultivates his martial arts, he is bold and careful, and it is not easy to kill him." This matter is very important, I don't know who the righteous brother wants to send? Brother Yi is here to remind you, this person's cultural cultivation and military equipment must be above Yun Zixiao, and he is very familiar with side affairs, otherwise not only will he not be able to kill Yun Zixiao, but he will also move stones and smash his feet! ”

A slight sneer appeared at the corner of Fu Zhaoxin's mouth, which made people shudder a little after seeing it. He walked up to Yuwen Yanyi, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and whispered in his ear: "Brother Yi, isn't the most suitable person to be you?" ”

Yuwen Yanyi was so frightened that her legs weakened, and she almost fell to the ground, "Righteousness...... Brother-in-law, are you trying to kill your younger brother? Although the younger brother has experienced a hundred battles and has never met an opponent in his life, the golden mace of the Eight Kings is not a vegetarian, if he is not careful, he ......"

Fu Zhaoxin laughed and said: "Brother Yi, where is it harming you for my brother, it is obvious that he gave you the opportunity to make meritorious contributions." If you can really do this, the officials will never treat you badly! ”

Yuwen Yanyi shook his head vigorously again, "Brother Yi, although the official family will not treat me badly, but I also have the life to accept the courtesy of the official family, if I lose my life because of this matter, won't everything become empty talk!" ”

Fu Zhaoxin said: "Don't worry, I will go to Rongcheng in person in the name of picking up Yun Zixiao, and I will bear it when something happens!" With that, he pushed open the door and walked straight away. Yuwen Yanyi looked at Fu Zhaoxin's distant back, clenching his steel teeth while secretly rejoicing......

The next day, Yun Zixiao left Liao with two retinues and returned to the Daimyo's Mansion, and traveled lightly along the way, arriving at the Lima River at the junction of the two countries in two or three days. The three of them crossed the river and walked forward for a hundred and ten miles, and a mountain peak that was not too high appeared in front of them.

The older entourage said: "Lord Yun, Rongcheng County is not far away, go out of the city for a few dozen miles, and we will return to the Daimyo's Mansion!" ”

The younger entourage admired and said, "Lord Yun, seeing that you are usually quiet and silent, I didn't expect you to have such a good eloquence!" If it weren't for you, don't say that we have made peace with the Liao Lord, or we would have to run back to the Daimyo's Mansion as soon as we got off the boat! ”

Yun Zixiao didn't seem to hear the praise of his entourage, his eyes were still looking at the mountain peaks not far away, although he was thoughtful, the expression on his face was still light and light. Suddenly, the peaceful atmosphere was interrupted by the sound of gongs and drums, and then the sound of people shouting and neighing horses came from the foot of the mountain, as if a large army had descended from the sky, breaking the silence between heaven and earth in an instant.

The faces of the two entourages turned white when they heard the sound, and their legs trembled involuntarily. They looked at Yun Zixiao nervously and stammered, "Yun ...... Lord Yun, this ...... How is this ...... What's going on? ”

Yun Zixiao was still calm at the moment, as if everything was already under his control. He heard the two men ask him, and instead of answering, he drew his sword from his belt. At this time, his eyes were full of murderous intent, but the sword in his hand was as heavy as a thousand catties, and he couldn't lift it no matter what.

At this moment, a hussar approached from behind the mountain. Everyone in the team has bright armor, all of them are extremely brave, and they don't need to pull out their blades to have a murderous aura that soars into the sky. They were dressed in the military uniforms of the Northern Han Dynasty and carried the banner of the Northern Han Dynasty, but the person who could be the leader was the famous Song Dynasty general Yuwen Yanyi!

The two entourages were all stunned when they saw that General Yuwen was actually waving the banner of the Northern Han Dynasty, "Yu ...... General Yuwen, what are you ...... It's ......"

Yuwen Yanyi looked at the two attendants who had become stammering even when they spoke, and the corners of his mouth hooked up into a cold smile. He slowly took out a birch bow painted with white paint from his back, and skillfully mounted two sharp arrows.

"Whoosh!" Two sharp arrows shot at the same time, and the sharp arrows emitted a cold glow in the air, as bright as a meteor, and as short-lived as a meteor. As the cold light disappeared, two blood rays collapsed in unison. The two attendants stared at Yuwen Yanyi in disbelief, and then moved their gaze to the sharp arrow that pierced their throats, and they fell to the ground in confusion, and the blood stained the ground red in an instant.

I am afraid that anyone will be surprised, puzzled, and surprised by this situation, but Yun Zixiao seems to feel that this is normal, as if everything in front of him is within his expectations. But after all, he couldn't bear to close his eyes, and sighed lightly: "General Yuwen, they just follow it, so why bother?" ”

Yuwen Yanyi slowly put away the bow, and said indifferently: "If you want to achieve great things, you can't have a woman's heart, and all those who may affect our plans can't live!" His voice was cold and soft, as if the lives of the two were nothing more than mustard in his eyes.

Yun Zixiao nodded lightly, I don't know if he was persuaded by him, or he made compromises for self-preservation. After a long time, he asked, "General Yuwen, everything is in our plan, right?" ”

Yuwen Yanyi said with a smile: "Secretary Yun's clever plan, Fu Zhaoxin's guy was really fooled, and he has been sent to Rongcheng by me, and everything can be done according to the plan." ”

Yun Zixiao said: "Okay, act according to the plan." ”

Yuwen Yanyi laughed loudly when she heard this, "Hahaha, I'm still worried that Secretary Yun won't be ruthless, but I didn't expect you and I to be really fellow believers!" He said and returned the Liuyun Sword to Yun Zixiao, "Return the sword to you, General Ben will return to Rongcheng according to the plan, and the rest depends on your friend!" ”

Yun Zixiao was slightly stunned when he heard this, he thought that everything was within his plan, but he didn't understand the meaning of Yuwen Yanyi's words anyway. When he was puzzled, a white horse had arrived in front of him, and immediately sat a young man, dressed in white armor and white armor, holding a spear.

Mo Feifeng saw Yun Zixiao, and the corners of his mouth showed a smile of reunion after a long absence, "Yun Gongzi, are you okay if you haven't seen you for many days?" ”

Yun Zixiao saw that Mo Fei was attacking, and his heart suddenly went up and down, and he didn't know whether to hang or put down. Presumably, the people brought by Yuwen Yanyi must be his cronies, and they will never leak the news. And Mo Fei's attack is only one side of the relationship with himself, although it is not unpredictable as friend or foe, but it is also difficult to put his heart into his heart, so if there are variables in this game of chess, it must fall on him.

Mo Fei was silent when he saw Yun Zixiao for a long time, but when he forgot about himself, he had to introduce: "Yun Gongzi, in Xia Mo Fei, I had a relationship with you a few days ago, do you remember?" ”

Yun Zixiao came back to his senses when he heard this, and pretended to suddenly realize: "Oh, it turned out to be Brother Mo Xian, no wonder he is so familiar." Foolish brother has been thinking about Song Liao's peace talks for the past few days, and he has forgotten about you, you are really guilty! I wonder why the virtuous brother got here? ”

Mo Feiji said disapprerovingly: "Brother Yun, you can find a secluded place and wait for a while, and after the plan is completed, it will not be too late for us to talk!" As he spoke, he waved the strange blade in his hand instead of the military order, and led the army to march towards Rongcheng quickly.

The sun was shining obliquely on Rongcheng at this moment, and the entire city tower was plated with a golden light. Fu Zhaoxin was in good spirits and led a team of soldiers to the top of the city, constantly looking into the distance. These soldiers were all happy, and they were all looking forward to Yun Zixiao's triumphant return so that they could drink a celebratory meal, but only Fu Zhaoxin was waiting for Yun Zixiao's head!

A moment later, a general suddenly appeared in the distance with a dozen soldiers in embarrassment. They rushed towards Rongcheng in a panic, and kept looking back behind them, like a group of stragglers who had just lost a battle.

Everyone in the city was at a loss when they saw this, and they couldn't figure out what was going on when they broke their heads, so they were all stunned. As this team got closer and closer, the people in the city gradually saw the appearance of this group of people, and saw that this group of stragglers were wearing the military uniforms of the Northern Han Dynasty, under the banner of the Northern Han Dynasty, and the person at the head was wearing a loose robe, which turned out to be Yuwen Yanyi, the border guard of the Great Song Dynasty. Everyone was in an uproar when they saw this, and they immediately talked about it.

"No wonder I haven't seen General Yuwen in the past two days, it turns out that he led the troops to rebel!"

"Impossible! If it's really the opposite, why do you still bring troops back to Rongcheng? ”

"It's not good, General Yuwen is afraid that he will lose his mind!"

"Aren't you all curious, who will be beaten like this by General Yuwen, who has won a hundred battles?"

While everyone was discussing, Yuwen Yanyi had already arrived at the city with the remnants of the defeated generals. Seeing this, all the soldiers raised their bows and arrows, and looked at Fu Zhaoxin in unison, waiting for him to give an order, ten thousand arrows would be fired.

Fu Zhaoxin shook his head and said solemnly: "Put down your weapons and open the city!" ”

Chengju Sun Li asked puzzledly: "General Fu, Yuwen Yanyi and they are all wearing Han military uniforms, if they open the city rashly, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right?" ”

Fu Zhaoxin said: "You know a fart! It was General Ben who asked them to disguise themselves as Han soldiers, open the door! As soon as he spoke, everyone who had been talking shut up and their eyes widened at the same time. The city tower was suddenly silent, and the atmosphere was unusually dead.

After a long time, Sun Licai asked: "General, why did you let them wear the military uniform of the Han State, if this matter reaches the ears of the officials, they must think that we will return to the Han State, this is a capital crime!" ”

Fu Zhao knocked Sun Li's head with confidence and said loudly: "Are you pig brains?" Now that the Song-Liao peace talks have been successful, the Han State must be in danger, and they are bound to intercept and kill our Great Song envoys along the way. So in order to hide people's eyes and ensure the safety of Secretary Yun, General Ben asked General Yuwen to pretend to be the Han army to pick him up at the border. ”

Everyone woke up like a dream, and their hanging hearts were put down, and they praised one after another: "General Fu is really clever, you can think of such a strategy, who would dare to say that General Fu is less strategic and less resourceful than General Yuwen!" ”

Fu Zhaoxin's face turned blue when he heard this, and there was a faint flash of murderous intent in his eyes, he was about to get angry, when he suddenly heard Yuwen Yanyi shouting from the city, "Brother Yi, open the city gate quickly, the Han army will be killed in a while!" ”

The atmosphere on the city tower became tense again, and even Fu Zhaoxin panicked, and hurriedly shouted at Sun Li: "Go and open the door, go and open the city gate!" Sun Li hurriedly ran to the gate and quickly opened the city gate.

Yuwen Yanyi saw that the city gate was opened, and he felt a sense of pride in his heart, and led his troops to gallop into Rongcheng. Fu Zhaoxin hurriedly ordered the door to be closed, and then hurriedly ran down the city. The first thing he said when he saw Yuwen Yanyi was, "Brother Yi, where is Yun Zixiao's head?" ”

"Didn't see it! Life and death are uncertain! Yuwen Yanyi gasped and dismounted, "Brother Yi, I didn't see Secretary Yun, but I met the Han army on the way, I guess most of them heard about the peace negotiation and were about to intercept Secretary Yun on the way." ”

Fu Zhaoxin was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "How many people are there in the Han army, and how far is it from here?" ”

Yuwen Yanyi said with some guilt: "The Han army originally had 30,000 people, and I led the troops to fight bravely all the way, killing more than 10,000 people, but the 5,000 men and horses under my command were almost wiped out, and I hope that Brother Yi will punish him!" ”

Fu Zhaoxin couldn't care about Yun Zixiao's life or death at this time, and he had no intention of punishing Yuwen Yanyi, so he only asked in a panic: "Who is in charge of the rest of the Han army?" ”

Yuwen Yanyi groaned slightly, and said, "It's General Yang Jing!" ”

Fu Zhaoxin was completely panicked when he heard this, and immediately turned into a stammer, "What...... What...... Be...... Poplar...... Yang Jing! Is it Yang Yanzhao, the son of Yang Ye, the general of the Han Kingdom? ”

Yuwen Yanyi nodded shyly, "That's right, besides the Yang family and his son, who is my opponent?" ”

Fu Zhao thought confidently, "Presumably, the army of the Han Kingdom is not far from here, and it will definitely be too late to abandon the city and flee. He thought about it and hurriedly said: "Brother Yi, although you can't fight Yang Yanzhao, you are still sure to defend the city, right?"

Yuwen Yanyi nodded hurriedly, "Brother Yi, don't worry, the younger brother will defend Rongcheng even if he is desperate, and he will never let the Han thieves touch my Great Song Dynasty!" ”

Fu Zhaoxin smiled with satisfaction: "That's good!" Brother I'll go back to the house first, mobilize soldiers, horses, food and grass, and then come to defend the city with my brother! ”

Yuwen Yanyi said confidently: "Although the righteous brother can rest assured, the younger brother will desperately defend the city and make the merit for his crimes!" He arched his hand towards Fu Zhaoxin, although his tone was humble, there was a pride in his expression.

Fu Zhaoxin patted him on the shoulder, "Okay, with the words of a righteous brother, you can rest assured that you are a brother!" After he finished speaking, he turned over his horse and galloped towards the Du Zhao Mansion, as if he was afraid that if he delayed a little longer, he would fall to the ground. Yuwen Yanyi saw that Fu Zhaoxin was gone, and his right hand clenched into a fist, as if everything was in the palm of his hand.

As soon as Yuwen Yanyi reached the top of the city, he saw the dust rising in the northwest, and there were countless majestic and powerful horses' hooves and the footsteps of the marching army, and the mountains and the earth trembled. The defenders at the head of the city all turned pale, and if it were not for their duty, they would have fled in all directions.

Sun Li's hand holding the sword was trembling slightly at this moment, "General Yuwen, Yang Yanzhao is here!" How can we resist it? Before his words fell, the Northern Han people and horses had already rushed to the bottom of Rongcheng.

Yuwen Yanyi said confidently: "Kaecheng!" ”

Sun Li was so shocked that he almost sat on the ground, "Open ...... Kaesong? Is General Yuwen ...... Want...... To surrender? ”

Yuwen Yanyi smiled slightly, "It's not surrendering, it's closing the door and beating dogs, catching turtles in the urn!" ”

Sun Li said worriedly: "Can ...... But in case it is self-defeating! ”

Yuwen Yanyi raised his eyebrows, "Don't you know that the military order is like a mountain!" ”

Sun Li hurriedly nodded and said, "Everything is up to General Yuwen to decide!" He shouted to the soldiers behind him, "What are you still doing in a daze, open the city quickly!" ”

The soldiers defending the city were a little hesitant, no one dared to stand up against Yuwen Yanyi, and no one dared to open the city, just stood in place, no one wanted to be this bird.

At this time, Mo Feijian pointed at the head of the city with his sword and shouted: "Song Guo's rats, I, Yang Yanzhao, am here, don't you hurry up and open the city gate!" Your general Yuwen Yanyi has been defeated by the sword of this general, do you still want to continue to resist! If you are in reality, you can go out of the city and surrender quickly, and you can stay and wait for a life, otherwise the day the city will be broken, it will be the time when you will die in Huangquan! ”

Yuwen Yanyi stood behind the female wall at this time, stamping her mouth with her hands, and her eyes were full of appreciation when she looked at Mo Feixian. Then he turned around, walked to the gate in person, slowly raised the jack gate, and the heavy gate of Rongcheng slowly opened.

When Mo Fei saw the city gate open, he laughed and said: "Hahaha, Song Guo's rats, Su'er and others are smart, this general will pay the preface to the conversation, spare you from death!" As he spoke, he swung his sword and rushed into the city first, and the soldiers behind him also poured into Rongcheng like a tide with the attack of Mo Fei.

Seeing this, Sun Li hurriedly said: "General Yuwen, did you close the city gate and shoot this group of thieves with arrows?" ”

At this moment, countless pairs of eyes were staring at Yuwen Yanyi in unison, waiting for him to give an order.

Yuwen Yanyi gently stroked her chin and groaned silently, as if she was a little hesitant.

Without waiting for Yuwen Yanyi to speak, the Northern Han people and horses had already killed the city, they were menacing, and it was obviously a lie to promise to spare their lives. Everyone didn't wait for Yuwen Yanyi's order, they all pulled out their weapons and fought with the Northern Han people, and the city was suddenly full of swords and swords, bloody rain.

Yuwen Yanyi saw that the officers and soldiers defending the city were killed in an instant, and the corpses of the martyrs were staggered all over the city tower, instead of helping, he showed a smug and sinister smile. He saw that Mo Fei's attack and Sun Lizheng were inseparable, so he slowly pulled out his long sword and walked slowly on the corpses all over the ground.

Sun Li saw Yuwen Yanyi walking towards him, thinking that he was here to help him, and breathed a sigh of relief, "General Yuwen, the surname Yang is very brave, you have to be careful!" ”

Yuwen Yanyi sneered: "It's you who should be careful!" As he spoke, a sword came out sharply, waving a gust of wind, and Sun Li's heart had been pierced by the long sword in Yuwen Yanyi's hand, and a cavity of blood suddenly splashed out.

Sun Li turned his head in disbelief, looked at Yuwen Yanyi, and asked with the last trace of strength, "General Yuwen, are you ...... Why are you killing me? ”

Yuwen Yanyi kicked Sun Li down and said coldly: "All those who may block my great cause will always have only one result - death!" ”

After listening to Yuwen Yanyi's words, Sun Li smiled unwillingly and bitterly a few times, and finally slowly closed his eyes. Seeing this, his subordinates all rushed towards Yuwen Yanyi frantically, Yuwen Yanyi pursed the corners of his mouth, the long sword moved as he wished, and the soldiers who rushed up fell to the ground and died in an instant.

The remnants of Song Bing were so frightened when they saw that Yuwen Yanyi was so ruthless, and they were even so frightened that they peed their pants on the spot. Yuwen Yanyi has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and he seems to have long been accustomed to the appearance of soldiers, he didn't even want to look at them more, and stepped on the corpse under his feet and walked straight towards the Duzhao Mansion.

Mo Fei saw that Yuwen Yanyi was leaving, and hurriedly said: "General Yuwen, what should we do with these people?" ”

Yuwen Yanyi waved his big hand nonchalantly, "Kill!" Not a single one to stay! ”

As soon as his words landed, Mo Feizhen led people to raise the butcher knife in his hand, and with the cold light of Sen Ran, the blood at the head of the city was magnificent, and in an instant, the cries and pleadings resounded throughout Rongcheng, swirling in mid-air, and did not disperse for a long time!
