Grievances and Hatreds (11)
Although the Khitan people reject the Han people, they have to rely on the Han people here, and after all these years of running-in, the hostility has long melted a lot, but strangers like Mu Qiubai are vigilant. The Prime Minister's Mansion uses a plaque of Chinese characters, and there are already forty guards waiting outside the door, two of them standing in front of the door, mink felt hats, and they are experts in martial arts. Zhang Shaoying thought that he would say hello, but he didn't know that the two of them showed their hands and did not speak. The group walked to the mansion and saw that the mansion was grand and magnificent, Zhang Shaoying had never seen such a magnificent house, and he was amazed for a while.
Entering the main hall, Yelu Nugua, the prime minister of the Southern Courtyard and the head of the Zhongshu Sect, was already waiting, including Xiao Darin, the orthodox army of the Nanjing Metropolitan Military Division. There were seven people standing behind him, all of whom were masters of the Hundred Battles Debate Dao who had been defeated by Mu Qiubai. In recent years, the status of the Privy Council of the North and the South has gradually been higher than that of the Prime Minister of the North and South Governments, and the Privy Council of the North and South is the highest power of the Han Dynasty to control the military and government. The two Privy Councils coexisted in name, but in practice the Northern Privy Council was superior to the Southern Privy Council. The two royal courts in the north and south have jurisdiction over the six courtyards and five courtyards of the stabbing department, and the Xuanwei Yuan and other systems are all controlled by the Northern Privy Council, and the prime ministers of the north and south mansions are controlled by the Yelu royal family and the Xiao family. Xiao Dalin's Nanjing Unified Army was the first to defend Nanjing, and the second was to attack and raid the Song army. The entire Yanyun region has a dark intelligence system similar to that of the Song Dynasty, and there are even detailed works of spying on military intelligence, and there are also assassins who assassinate the opposing army's commanders, all of which are controlled by the military commander of the capital.
Mu Qiubai has been walking around the land of Yanyun all year round, and the masters of the Hundred Battles Theory only know the names of the rankings except for the top ten, and they don't know anything else. Many northern officials had sent people to track down and assassinate, and the soldiers were killed, not to mention, and they didn't know how to claim their lives, and there was probably no more terrible person than Mu Qiubai in the Yanyun region. Yelu Nugua asked, "Why did Your Excellency come?" Mu Qiubai said, "A talisman that can walk in the north and south military camps." Yelu Nugua returned the salute and asked, "Why is this so?" Mu Qiubai said: "I just look, I don't move you a single soldier." Xiao Darin said: "Your Excellency regards Yanyun as nothing, right?" Mu Qiubai said: "Give or not give you your own choice." Xiao Darin said: "Are you threatening?" Mu Qiubai said: "Maybe." Xiao Dalin said: "You are ranked tenth here, and I am ranked seventeenth here, what do you think?" Mu Qiubai said: "One game is the winner?" Xiao Dalin said: "Should you fight?" Mu Qiubai glanced at Ji Lingshuang, Ji Lingshuang walked to Zhang Shaoying's side, and asked: "There is not much difference between the tenth and the seventeenth, do you want me to go?" Zhang Shaoying didn't know why he came here, and sighed: "What are we doing?" Ji Lingshuang said: "Take the order talisman and go to the barracks to have a look." Zhang Shaoying was still about to ask again, Ji Lingshuang said, "Would you like me to go?" Zhang Shaoying shook his head.
Ji Lingshuang was very happy, turned around and said, "Please." When the group came to the outside of the hall, Zhang Shaoying didn't stop it, he knew a lot of things and he couldn't stop it. Ranked seventeenth, this person's name is Gao Zheng, who was hired by the Khitan lord to recruit Gao Shi for a lot of money, and he was added to the rank and knighted, and the princess of the Yelu clan was rewarded, and he was under Xiao Darin's account.
Gao Zhengdao: "You know my weaknesses and strengths. Ji Lingshuang shook his head and said, "I won't attack your weaknesses." Gao Zheng said: "I am now challenging you. Ji Lingshuang said: "I accept it." Gao Zheng took a deep breath and stared at Ji Lingshuang, his eyes suddenly deepened. Ji Lingshuang stabilized her mind and gathered her energy. Gao Zheng does not use weapons, and all masters who belong to the Hundred Battles Theory are no strangers to the Qi Blade. There is only one rule in a hundred battles, and to defeat every opponent in a fair way. There are no borders, no grievances, only fighting. This is the paradise that martial arts practitioners dream of, and it is also the only belief they have in life, and every master who belongs to the Hundred Battles Theory is silently abiding by it.
Gao Zheng suddenly shouted, the qi blade condensed out, and dodged towards Ji Lingshuang. Ji Lingshuang adjusted her internal force and also flashed out. This fight is dazzling and energetic. They are the most common moves, but they are the deadliest. No matter what weapon, what tricks, from the first to the skilled, pure, profound, supreme, and then back to the basics. This is a long journey, which has been tempered by the people who practice martial arts day and night, and all the masters who belong to the path of a hundred battles have walked such a long and boring and arduous road. Especially for top masters like Ji Lingshuang and Gao Zheng, every battle is the best enjoyment in the world for them. The most exquisite moves, the pinnacle of attitude, the fastest speed, the right time, the right place, the right people, every place has become the key to winning or losing. Ji Lingshuang is tall and thin, with a sassy posture, and the combination of rigidity and softness is positive. Gao Zheng is burly, wearing a long shirt and Hanfu with large sleeves flying, and his posture is elegant, which makes people stunning. Zhang Shaoying couldn't see the moves of the two, but this kind of battle made him fascinated. Whether it is Lin Mengyi, Liu Yan or Ji Lingshuang, they all like such men, Zhang Shaoying also likes such men, and he has been doing this.
Ji Lingshuang's skill is obviously higher than Gao Zheng, although it was suppressed at the beginning, Ji Lingshuang has already pressed it, and he can feel the strength from ten zhang away. After seven moves, the two of them spread out, both gasping deeply. After a moment, Gao Zheng said: "You have distracting thoughts in your heart. Ji Lingshuang said: "Yes" Gao Zheng said: "Emotions can only make you fall deeper and deeper, and if you have concern, you can't be pure-minded, and I can defeat you in three months." Ji Lingshuang said: "Yes." Gao Zheng asked, "What do you value him?" Ji Lingshuang said: "His heart." Gao Zheng said: "It seems that you are just a woman after all." Ji Lingshuang smiled slightly and asked, "Have I never been a woman?" Gao Zheng said: "There are only grievances between you and me, except for a hundred battles, I hope you will not die under my hands." Ji Lingshuang said: "There is a sentence you must not have heard?" Gao Zhengdao: "The power of love?" Ji Lingshuang said: "Compared with cold cultivation love, it is more desirable." Gao Zhengdao: "Your faith has been shaken, and you will die quickly." Ji Lingshuang said: "A hundred battles are only divided into winning and losing, not life and death. Gao Zheng said: "Grievances are enough to divide life and death." Ji Lingshuang said: "What I decide will not be easily changed. Gao Zheng said: "I lost, no one here can beat you today." But in the near future, you will die very quickly. Ji Lingshuang said: "Then should I kill you for a grudge?" Gao Zheng said: "This is your business." Ji Lingshuang said: "I don't want to turn my face yet, my husband has never seen the world, what do you think?" Gao Zheng said: "This is your strength." But there's one thing you don't forget. Ji Lingshuang said: "I want to hear it in detail." Gao Zhengdao: "There are many masters in addition to the Hundred Battles, and if you are too arrogant, you can only die faster." Ji Lingshuang said: "Then let's compare and see who dies faster." Gao Zheng said: "Okay." With that, he stepped back.
Xiao Darin took the order flag and handed it to Zhang Shaoying, and said, "You can walk freely in the barracks." With that, he asked Jerunugua, and the group went into the house. Concubine Hua snatched the Lingqi over and muttered, "Let's do more, and we will come to see it often in the future." Zhang Shaoying was puzzled: "Let's just go to the barracks to have a look?" Hua Fei said: "What else? Do you want to deal with thousands of troops and horses by yourself?" Zhang Shaoying said: "What is there to look at in the barracks." Hua Fei said: "You just need to remember one thing." Zhang Shaoying said: "Please advise." Hua Fei said: "No matter what you see, you'd better not do it." If you do it, it's up to you. Zhang Shaoying was vaguely uneasy. Walking on the street, Concubine Hua and her party ushered in countless eager eyes. If it weren't for the existence of Mu Qiubai and these men, maybe they would have been a different ending.
More than 60 years have passed, and the people of Yanyun Han have experienced unbearable pain both physically and mentally. From the initial resistance to the anticipation of the Song Dynasty's conquest, every time the Song Dynasty attacked Yanyun, many Han generals led their troops to meet and tried their best to cooperate. However, the failures again and again made the Yanyun Han people see no hope, and they also saw the ability of the Song Dynasty. In order to be able to control Yanyun safely, the Khitan people also began to formulate the laws of the Han people and deepen the in-laws between the two clans. Today, Yelu Longxu, the lord of Liao, has not yet been in power, and the government has been controlled by his mother, Xiao Xuan, a descendant of the Xiao family. This is known as the Empress Dowager Chengtian is very talented, decisive, and Yelu Longxu still loves Han culture, the mother and son coincide, and there is a Han Han Derang next to the mother and son Han Derang is very capable of governing the country.
Although the Han people in the Yanyun area are ranked second to the Khitan, there is less bullying and killing, and there is a complete law that allows the people to live and work in peace and contentment. Whether it is the Khitan or the Han people, they are all flesh and blood, and after more than 60 years of running-in, the famous clan and the integrity are dissipating. And the Han people of the Central Plains also despised it and called it Hulu. There is a noodle restaurant not far away, and the noodles are served with beef soup, which is strong and smooth, and this is the ninth time Mu Qiubai has been here. Mu Qiubai and the others just ate noodles quietly and didn't say a word. After eating, he was given a gold ingot, and the shopkeeper accepted it, thanked him repeatedly, and sent it out the door. Zhang Shaoying doesn't understand, Mu Qiubai has always been murderous in his eyes, and he is a bad person who specializes in doing bad things. But these days' interactions, whether it is Hua Feichen Zhong or Long Yin Mu Qiubai, he can't understand it, he doesn't know what they are doing or what they are thinking. Whenever he saw Mu Qiubai's thin back, he didn't know what kind of eyes to look at this person, he couldn't say it, and maybe there were only four words like different.
Nanjing is the capital of the Liao Dynasty, but the Han people are accustomed to call it Yanjing, with a radius of 36 miles and eight gates, there are Andong Gate in the east, Yingchun Gate, Qing Jin Gate in the west, Xianxi Gate, Danfeng Gate in the south, Kaiyang Gate, Tongtian in the north, Resonance Gate. The message of the Liao people was very fast, and as soon as they walked out of the Yingchun Gate, there were Han soldiers and horses waiting for them. The Liao State set up three provinces and six ministries in the Yanyun area according to the Han system, namely Zhongshu Province, Menxia Province, Shangshu Province, Six Officials Department, Household Department, Rite Department, Military Department, Criminal Department, and Ministry of Industry. With the Zhongshu Sect under the Tongping Zhangshi, the Governor of the Political Affairs is the principal and deputy prime minister, as an additional official position, called the South Official.
