The wind and clouds are in the building, and the soil is full of paste.

When Jing Ke assassinated the King of Qin, he brought two gifts, one was the head of Fan Yuzhi, and the other was the "Map of Du Kang", which refers to Zhuozhou, the anointed land of Yan during the Warring States Period, and now it is also the production area of tribute rice in Daliao. Zhuozhou is flat and low-lying, separated by a good township between Youzhou, and a new city separated by Dingzhou on the other side.

In the Later Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Shizong Chai Rong was wise and martial, led the army to attack Liao by land and water, and recovered the three prefectures of Ying, Mo, and Ning, as well as the three passes of Yijin Pass, Waqiao Pass, and Sikou Pass in more than a month; when recovering Waqiao Pass, the soldiers were already approaching Zhuozhou, but it was a pity that Chai Rong was seriously ill and fell short. Therefore, it caused an accident, that is, the Zhao family, the son of heaven in the Great Song Dynasty, although it has been established for two hundred years, but the ancestral homeland is always in the hands of the Liao State, and there is no way to return to his hometown.

Although Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, was born in Luoyang Jiama Camp, he was born in Zhuozhou Zhao, and his great-grandfather Zhao Ting also did the history of Zhuozhou Thorn, and the ancestral home of the Northern Song Dynasty emperor was in Zhuozhou. For this alone, the emperor of the Zhao family didn't know how many times he was ridiculed by the people of Da Liao and the two countries, and he must have felt a little uneasy to sleep.

The city of Zhuozhou is crowded with people, a prosperous scene, as a big city closest to the Great Song Dynasty, it looks quite prosperous, and the goods on the street are very complete, porcelain, silk, spices, tea, etc., almost everything. Unlike Youzhou, most of the streets of Zhuozhou are full of Han Chinese, and if you remove the Liao flag and those Liao troops in military uniforms, it will be like a city of the Great Song Dynasty;

Yang Zhi didn't wear a mask, it was a civet cat to help Yang Zhi and Li Wanhua in disguise, and they looked like they were in their thirties, running towards their forties; even people who had seen Yang Zhi might not be able to recognize them at a glance, let alone recognize them based on an inaccurate drawing. Yang Zhi and Li Wanhua held hands, walked aimlessly for a while, visited a few shops, found a small stall outside the store, and asked for a bowl of fragrant and spicy mutton soup.

They were dressed in ordinary clothes, there was no need to go to the store to drink, Yang Zhi's injuries were not completely healed, and they were not allowed to drink. After drinking the mutton soup, the two still held hands and walked back to the inn where they lived, according to Yang Zhi's arrangement, the two dressed up as a couple who went to relatives, and the civet pretended to be a merchant, and lived in two inns across the street. It's been five days, Yang Zhi's injuries have healed by six or seven percent, and now they spend every day idlely like this, Yang Zhi and Li Wanhua's hearts are actually a little hopeful, and it would be good if they continued like this.

A sound of horses' hooves came from behind him, Yang Zhi turned his head to glance, a group of Liao cavalry galloped behind him, there were about forty or fifty people, swords and arrows on their bodies, and the two officers led by them were muttering in a low voice: "Master Sigong was really killed by Yang Zhi, that is a big deal, I heard that the prince Yeluchun was angry, Yanyun Hall couldn't eat this time and left." ”

"Who knows? It sounds weird, how could Yang Zhi kill such a fairy-like character as Master Sigong. ”

The two officers spoke in Khitan language, not far from Yang Zhi and Li Wanhua, although they walked farther and farther away when they spoke, but Yang Zhi heard it very clearly, and his heart was suddenly surprised, Master Sigong escaped from his own hands, whether he was seriously injured and died in the end, or was plotted by others, this has to be inquired clearly. Thinking of Ye Luchun's lack of bottom line, Yang Zhi suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

Turning the corner of the street, the civet sat on a mule cart, nodded slightly to Yang Zhi, the civet cat was also disguised, and the original appearance was very different, if it wasn't for the face-to-face seeing the civet's handwriting, Yang Zhi would hesitate for a minute even if he saw it on the road; Yang Zhi walked over with a smile, looked at the medicinal materials on the mule cart, and whispered: "Is the master of the temple dead?"

The attitude of the civet was very calm, took a handful of party ginseng and handed it to Yang Zhi, and said softly: "I heard from the people in the rivers and lakes in Yanfeng Tower that Master Sigong was speechless when he saw the cavalry of the Liao army, but he just wrote the word Yang Zhi on the ground, and he died before he finished writing the word Zhi, congratulations, since then you have become one of the top masters in martial arts." ”

"This is the rhythm of wanting me to die, my knife is in the middle of the two ribs of Master Sigong, if I die, Sigong should die if he can't run far. Yang Zhifan looked at the codonopsis and said with a wry smile: "It's not that you don't know, if you didn't fly over and scared away the master of Sigong, I would have died in his hands if I didn't get it, at most it would be a lose-lose situation." ”

At that time, Yang Zhi's strength had been exhausted, and after Master Sigong fled, Yang Zhi fainted as soon as he relaxed, and when he woke up after more than an hour, Yang Zhi had been placed on the mule cart by the civet. Otherwise, why would the three of them stay in Zhuozhou, and they would have to separate to cover up their identities, that is, they were afraid that Master Sigong and Ye Luchun's men would chase after them, but now it is good, the person chasing is dead, and Yang Zhi can't say clearly.

Li Wanhua picked up two plantain plants and asked Yang Zhi, "What should I do now?"

Yang Zhi groaned and said: "It's better to go according to the original plan, no matter how powerful Ye Luchun is, he can't let all the counties in this area close the city for inspection, since the news has spread to Zhuozhou, let's be careful." But when you go back, change to an inn and move next door to us, each other."

"Well, that's it, I'll keep an eye on the people who come by. Yang Zhi and Li Wanhua paid for the codonopsis and plantain, and returned to the inn together, and the place where they lived was called the Fuhai Inn, and the inn where the civet was across the street was called Yannan Inn. Yang Zhi and the two lived in a single room on the second floor, poured a pot of boiling water from the stove, Yang Zhi took it in his hand, went up the wooden stairs, and walked back to his room.

Yang Zhi put the teapot on the wooden table, Li Wanhua closed the door and asked Yang Zhi, "Will Ye Luchun draw a shadow to arrest you?"

Yang Zhi shook his head with a smile and said: "Ye Lu Chun can't be this master, even if he is angry now, can he explain to others why Master Sigong left Youzhou? I don't have this ability, Yan Yundian is now in a hurry, and I will definitely dispute over this issue, as long as the people sent by Ye Lu Chun secretly can't find us, and we will go to the Great Song Dynasty in two days, there will be nothing to do." ”

"Then are you going to come back?" Li Wanhua and Yang Zhi each sat on one side of the table, Li Wanhua couldn't help but ask, Yang Zhi smiled and said, "Do you want me to accompany you to Xiaoyao Island?" Forget it, I don't know if my master is a disciple of Xiaoyao Island. ”
