Chapter 4 False accusations

After two days, everything was calm as usual, but Lin Xi's heart often ached. In his words, there was always a feeling that something was going to happen.

"General, someone from the court has arrived." On this day, Liu Feng hurriedly came to report, as if he was facing a great enemy.

"What? Who sent it? ”

"It's Liu Xi."

"I said that I have always had a heartache these days, and it turned out that the evil star was coming."

Liu Xi in the mouth of the two is the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty.

Liu Xi has a bad relationship with Lin Xi and his teacher Cao Bin, but the grievances between Liu Xi and Cao Bin, as a junior, Lin Xi actually doesn't know much, and listens more to the teacher Cao Bin:

In the war against Liao, Liu Xi made peace and had a very bad relationship with Cao Bin of the main battle faction, but Liu Xi's father was corrupt and bribed, but he was still exposed by Cao Bin, so he was convicted and killed.

This time, Liu Xi completely became mortal enemies with Cao Bin, fighting openly and secretly, and the court was on the same footing.

As for Lin Xi, because he was Cao Bin's student, Liu Xi also hated Lin Xi very much. The fuse that led to the confrontation between the two was that when Lin Xi followed Cao Bin back to the border for a pilgrimage, Lin Xi scolded Liu Xi for being a traitor on the street in Bianjing City, which completely offended Liu Xi, and in the end Cao Bin forcibly saved Lin Xi.

When he came to the border camp, Cao Bin was not in the camp, and Lin Xi didn't know where the teacher had gone.

Lin Xi already had a faint premonition.

"Liu Feng, you stay outside the camp."

When he entered the tent, a palace guard was sitting upright, without a trace of fluctuation, but his right hand secretly held the hilt of the sword, ready to strike at any time.

"You are Lin Xi?"

"Exactly."

"Someone! Take! Unexpectedly, these people didn't say a word, and the four of them rushed into the tent and pressed Lin Xi to the ground.

"What are you doing here?"

Lin Xi was shocked and tried to break free, but he didn't even carry a sword, and now that the four knives were on his neck, he could only resign himself to fate.

"Lin Xi colluded with the Liao State and conspired to cause chaos, and today he will be ordered to take him down!"

"I don't know if I colluded with Liao, but there is evidence?"

"Of course...... Can someone attest, come in! ”

The person who came in was Lin Xi's lieutenant, Li Kun.

Lin Xi's pupils dilated, and he couldn't hide his shock, "Li Kun? It's you? ”

"My lord, I can testify, a few days ago, Lin Xi privately saw Yelu Guanyin, the eldest princess of Liao, in the military tent of the camp, more than a dozen masters of the Green Wolf Courtyard were guarding outside, I eavesdropped behind the tent, Lin Xi said in the tent that he would remove the sentry of Shamen Pass on the day of the cold dew, and let Yelu Guanyin lead the army to sneak into the Song Realm from Shamen Pass!"

Lin Xi's anger surged, and he struggled violently but was pressed to the ground again, "You! You framed me! ”

Li Kun was hit hard by the violent Lin Xi, took a few breaths, and then said: "Lin Xi also left more than 20 masters of the Blue Wolf Courtyard in the back camp cell, just to cooperate with Yelu Guanyin!" ”

Lin Xi gasped, suddenly burst into flames, and fell headlong.

At the last moment of fainting, Lin Xi tried hard to open his eyes, but he could only hear the voice echoing in his ears: "Escorted to the prison, tomorrow when the forbidden army arrives, immediately escorted to the capital to wait for the autumn decision!" ”

"I didn't expect that I would die like this......"

When Lin Xi was faint, he was confused, and the past was like a passing cloud, and scenes flashed in front of him......

"Father, mother, I'm afraid the child is coming to you......"

"Teacher, you must pay attention to safety......"

"Liu Feng, you are my cronie... They won't let your ...... go."

"Jeruh prolongs life... Go back to Liao, don't go back to the Song realm... Uh-ah...... "The tingling sensation of drilling the heart spread throughout the body, all illusions vanished, and the mind suddenly felt a trace of clarity.

When he woke up again, Lin Xi had been thrown into the dark prison, his body was already covered with scars, and he could guess without thinking about it that it must be Liu Xigong's personal vendetta and taking this opportunity to torture himself.

"What to do... What should I do......" Liu Feng was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, he watched Lin Xi being taken to prison outside the camp, but there was nothing he could do.

At this time, Yan Shou, who came in a hurry, asked, "General Liu, why did you come back alone, what about Lin Xi?" ”

Liu Feng's eyes lit up, and he looked at Yelu Yanshou, he seemed to have thought of a way.

"Something happened, Lin Xi was framed, and Liu Xi, the prime minister of the DPRK, sent someone to say that he had a private meeting with Yelu Guanyin, collaborated with the enemy and treason, and another deputy general, Li Kun, was a traitor. I can only come to you now to discuss how to get him out, I must think of a way, tomorrow he will be escorted to the capital, and it will be too late by then!" ”

"General Liu, do you want to tell me and let me take him to Daliao?"

"Yes. Liu Xi has the most power among the prime ministers in the court, staying in the Great Song Dynasty is tantamount to waiting for death, I can only ask you to take him to Daliao to hide first, and then have the opportunity to help him clear up his grievances! ”

"Good! Go now! ”

"No, wait until the dead of night. Then release those people from the Green Wolf Courtyard, and we'll go together. It's close to the border, but be extra careful. You are waiting outside, and the matter of rescuing him will be handed over to me, the prison director is familiar with me and Lin Xi, and I will talk to him. ”

"And what if he doesn't let him go?"

"That can only trouble you to rob the prison."

"Okay, let's go!"

In the evening, a team of several dozen people quietly touched the outside of the border camp.

Liu Feng motioned for everyone to stop: "You wait here first, I'll go in and see the warden, it's best not to do it if there is no armed conflict." ”

"You take this." Yelu Yanshou took out a small bamboo tube from his clothes, "Once you are surrounded inside, pull this and throw it to the sky, and we will try to rescue you in the shortest possible time." ”

"Well... It's up to you. ”

Liu Feng jumped into the camp by taking advantage of the low hill on the side of the camp and quietly came to the outside of the dungeon.

"Who are you? What are you doing here? The soldier looked nervous.

Liu Feng took out his official credentials and said politely: "Trouble brother, give this thing to the warden." ”

"This ...... Well, you wait here, I'll tell you back. ”

After a short while, the soldier ran out, "Warden, please come in and talk." ”

Liu Feng followed the soldier into a relatively tidy room, where the warden was inside.

"Come on in. What are you here to do? If you are seen, you will be in trouble! ”

"I'm here to save General Lin."

"This ...... It's not that you don't know that the person who arrested him is Liu Xi, with his power and character of retribution, once Lin Xi is rescued, he will definitely chase and kill him all over the world, if you rescue Lin Xi, where do you let him hide. ”

"I already have a way, and I ask my brother to release General Lin."

"Well, you come with me to see him and make it clear to his face."

Liu Feng nodded, "Okay." ”

Liu Feng followed the warden to the depths of the prison, and the deeper he went, the stronger the smell of blood became.

"This is the place where the felons are interrogated, and those under Liu Xi tortured Lin Xi all afternoon today, and they don't know ...... What the hell happened to him. ”

Hearing this, Liu Feng unconsciously quickened his pace, and secretly gasped.

When the cell door was opened, the scene in front of him really shocked Liu Feng. Lin Xizheng was lying on the ground weakly, his front, hands, feet, and back were all scars, and some of them were even rotten in the skin, as if they had been pulled out of something like a wattle.

"General! I...... It's our incompetent, harmless generals who have suffered this great calamity......"

"Okay, I don't blame you...... I'm still far from death... Hehe......"

The warden hurriedly urged: "Hurry up and get down to business, too late will change." ”

"Oh yes, General, I'm here to get you out!"

"Help me? Where to? ”

"Yelu Yanshou, and the dozen or so warriors of the Green Wolf Courtyard are not far from the camp, I will take the general out of the camp, and they will bring the general to the Liao State, as long as the general can get out of the border, it will be safe!"

"No...... I have been wronged, and if I can tell the truth to my teacher or His Majesty, I may be able to spare my life. But if I flee to Liao, then I can't tell ...... with a long mouth."

"General! If you enter Beijing, you will be taken to the prison by Liu Xi and then beheaded, how can you have a chance to tell the truth! General, you must survive, or the name of the thief will never be cleared! ”

"Alas...... Hopefully, you're right......" Lin Xi nodded after all and stopped talking.

"General, I'll take you out now!"

"Wait, I've got a solution." The warden suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "I'll go find a cart and a piece of cloth, and then the general will disguise yourself as a dead corpse and lie on the cart, so it should be easier to get through." ”

"Okay."

The warden left the prison and told the two soldiers to find a car and a piece of cloth, falsely claiming that someone in the prison had committed suicide and needed to be transported out of the camp and thrown away.

"Come on, come out." The three of them disguised themselves, and Liu Feng pushed the cart towards the camp gate.

"Stop! Who? What to do out of camp? ”

"Oh, I'm the warden of the prison, and a prisoner just committed suicide in the prison, no, push him out and throw him away."

"Oh...... Lift the cloth and I'll take a look. ”

The warden had to slowly lift the cloth, and the hearts of the three of them all jumped to their throats, and Lin Xi didn't dare to move, for fear of revealing the stuffing.

As soon as he opened it, the soldier smelled the strong smell of blood on Lin Xi's body, covered his nose and looked at the "dead body" lying on the car, and hurriedly waved his hand.

"Okay, okay, cover it, go back quickly, let it go!"

Liu Feng didn't dare to take a breath, and pushed Lin Xi out of the camp, until he turned into a forest, and the soldiers couldn't see it, so he lifted the cloth on Lin Xi's body.

Yelu Yanshou waited in the forest, and when he saw the three of them coming, he quickly ran out.

"This ......" Yanshou gasped when he saw Lin Xi, "Why does this hurt so much...... What happened to you? It's okay......"

Liu Feng hurriedly said: "Lin Xi is not dead, this is not the place to speak, take him away quickly - follow this road all the way to the northwest is Shamen Pass," Liu Feng took out a sign from his body, "The sentinel guards of Shamen Pass are all arranged by me, you just need to show them my token, they will let you out of the pass, out of Shamen Pass and go north to the Liao Realm, you will be safe after the buffer zone." ”

Yanshou took the token, "Okay, you have to take care too." ”

"Be sure to protect him - get out!"

When the three of them dispersed, Liu Feng's tense nerves relaxed slightly.

Back in the camp, Liu Feng walked straight into his tent, and the tension of the whole night made him completely unnoticed, and there was not a single soldier in the camp.

It was pitch black in the tent, and Liu Feng subconsciously groped for the candlestick. Unexpectedly, he was greeted by several knives around his neck, shining with cold light.

As soon as the candle flame lit, it turned out to be Li Kun.

"It's so lateβ€”what are you doing?"

"Hmph." Liu Feng snorted coldly.

"If you don't say it, I also know that you colluded with the Liao people to save Lin Xi!"

"I really didn't expect that there would be a traitor like you by my side!"

"Alright, let's choke a few words. Say! Where do you decide where to leave? ”

Liu Feng still didn't say a word.

"Good...... You don't want to give you a chance to live, bet on it! ”

"General, which way are we chasing?"

"Send 300 people to the east to Yanshan to pursue, and then send 300 people to the northwest to chase Shamen Pass, quick!"

"Yes!"
