The hillside was not far apart, and the three of them came to the bottom of the slope, and saw that there were several bonfires on it, and the three gold-rank guards of the inner court were drinking around the fire, and not far from the fire was a large cowhide tent, and there were two gold-rank guards stationed at the door of the big tent.

These court worshippers are often high-spirited and domineering in the army, so they are not treated well in the army. They also believed that their status was superior to others, and they did not want to be in the company of the generals in the army, so they set up a big tent on the hillside alone, which was an opportunity to get rid of them.

Li Yuangong looked at a few gold-rank guards outside the tent, and thought that it would not be difficult to kill these people, but he couldn't make a sound, if he alarmed the Liao soldiers under the slope, it would be troublesome.

"Brother, three by the fire will be handed over to you, two at the door will be handed over to me, and my brother and sister will watch the wind. Qin Fei and Duo'er nodded and said yes.

The three of them got closer to the slope again, Li Yuangong and Qin Fei both drew their blades, and pulled themselves out like ghosts, without a sound in the dark night, they pounced on several golden guards like two eagle falcons, and in an instant, only a few soft sounds were heard, and they had already solved their opponents and put their swords into their sheaths.

Li Yuangong lifted the curtain of the tent and came to the tent, with Qin Fei and Duo'er following behind. Next to a wooden bar in the tent, the two of them were sitting opposite each other drinking, and the curtain sounded, but the two of them didn't care, they just thought they were gold-level guards outside. The person who turned his back to the curtain said, "Old Hao, are you finished drinking?" There are still a few jars of good Xixia wine in the small tent next to you, go get it yourself." ”

The three of them did not speak, but walked behind the man and stood still, and the man who was drinking on the other side looked up sharply and asked, "Who are you, and how did you get into the big tent?"

Li Yuangong laughed: "It's cold, Xiazhou Li and two little friends came here to beg for a bowl of wine." ”

As soon as he was about to get up with his back to the three of them, Qin Fei's Mo Evil Sword was already attached to his neck, and the cold sword aura made him feel chills in his heart, and he immediately sat on the stool, straightened his waist and did not dare to move. Li Yuangong looked at the person opposite and asked, "What's your name?" The man looked at the three people in front of him and didn't dare not answer: "I am the inner court to worship Tong Ruixiang." ”

"Oh, then this is Fu Ancai?" was enshrined by Qin Fei pressing his neck with a sword, and wanted to nod but didn't dare, so he could only look at it, indicating that it was.

Li Yuangong hooked a round stool next to him over the table with his feet, sat down with a golden knife, and shouted to Tong Ruixiang: "Wine!" Tong Ruixiang hurriedly stood up, holding the wine jar and pouring wine for Li Yuangong, his hands and feet trembled, and a piece was spilled on the table.

"Who was the one who visited the Xiazhou Marshal's Mansion last night?" asked Li Yuangong majestically.

"It's two gold-rank guards, one was killed by you, and the other is now drinking outside. ”

When Li Yuangong heard this, the gold-rank guards who were drinking outside the heart had all returned to the underworld.

"Where is Helian Tengbao's house now, and who is the current commander of the Liao army?"

"The Grand Commander has left this place in the afternoon on another business, but I don't know where he went. The army was originally the old prince Yelu Youchong in command, but when the army was raised, the old prince did not accompany the army because of illness, and now the five armies are fighting separately and are not subordinate to each other. The two of us are called the prison army, but in fact they are ostracized by the army, so they have to drink here every day. ”

Li Yuangong nodded, the Liao army was so chaotic that it could not be defeated. This time to send troops to Western Xia, a division out of the nameless, and then the army has entered the cold winter is not suitable for war, so the Liao court is also opposed, but Emperor Qinzong obeyed Helian Tengbao's words, and insisted on sending troops to Western Xia, in fact, from the people to the army, everyone is tired of war.

At this point, Li Yuangong already had a plan in his heart, and just one "drag" trick could make these nearly one million teachers return in vain.

Li Yuangong looked inside the tent and saw that there was a pile of thick ropes with cow tendons near the corner, so he went to drag the general, stretched out his hand and pointed at Tong Ruixiang and Fu Ancai's dumb points, tied them up with thick ropes of cow tendons, and dragged them out of the tent.

There was a flagpole next to the bonfire outside the tent, on which was the flag of the prison army, and Li Yuangong carried the two and flew on the flagpole. Hung the two on the top of the flagpole, cut down the prison flag with another sword, and said to the two: "If you two have a big life, someone will find out tomorrow morning, and they will put you two down. ”

Li Yuangong jumped off the flagpole, his heart was happy, and he started a light exercise with Qin Fei and Duo'er, and returned to Xiazhou City.

Since then, for more than ten days, the Liao army did not come to attack the city, but the Western Xia did not go out of the city to fight, and the two sides were deadlocked in Xiazhou City. Day after day, the weather is getting colder and colder, the north is bitter cold, and it is the deep winter season, a snow down, is a few feet deep, the Liao people do not say that the battle, even the tent does not dare to come out, all day long in the tent to light a fire to keep warm.

The Western Xia soldiers were better than the Liao soldiers, at least they roasted the fire in the house, and they didn't have to suffer from the cold. Li Yuangong has been idle recently, and he often gathers generals in the tent to drink and feast, even Yunfeng is a female general, so he doesn't participate, Qin Fei is not good at drinking, and he only enjoys the snow scene with Duo'er all over the city.

There was nothing to do on this day, Erniang went to the military camp to inspect, and Qin Fei and Duo'er came to Deyong Temple in the north of the city. This temple is located in the north corner of the city, which has been built for hundreds of years, and after the heavy snowfall, the whole temple is dressed in silver, adding a bit of solemnity.

Due to the war, only a few elderly monks remained in the temple, and the other temples thought that they had already left the city to escape the disaster of war and moved elsewhere. Several people stepped on the bluestone steps and came to the temple. Seeing that there was still incense everywhere, several old monks were sweeping the floor and shoveling snow, and when they saw Qin Fei and others coming in, an old monk greeted him and praised the Buddha and said: "Amitabha, on such a snowy day, all the donors are still traveling on their own, and they are really elegant people." ”

Qin Fei bowed: "The master is polite." We and other ordinary people just have nothing to do, walk around and take a look, the master is busy by himself, don't worry, I can just wait. ”

The old monk clasped his hands together, "In this case, all the donors can do their best." ”

Shen'er and Mo'er, naughty in nature, turned around the halls in the temple after a while, and ran to the bell tower behind the hall to see the ancient bell and the two rows of bells hanging on the tall wooden frame next to it.

Duo'er is pious-minded, and the Buddha statues in each temple are carefully watched and respectfully worshipped. Qin Fei accompanied Duo'er and took a closer look at the halls.

Although the Western Xia is also dedicated to Buddhism, it is slightly different from the Central Plains, and there are many strong and rough Qiang men and women carved on the walls of each hall, which is very exotic. Gradually walking to the apse, Duo'er went to the hall to worship the Buddha, Qin Fei saw an ancient well in the courtyard, a tall stone tablet next to the well, which seemed to be engraved with pictures, so he walked over to watch.

One side of the stele is a zigzag ancient Xixia script, but Qin Fei is not recognized, and the other side is a music and dance picture, the dancer is enchanting and symmetrical, naked and barefoot, wearing a scarf, and seeing charm in the boldness. Some of them are draped with silk belts, or trousers, or short skirts, and their arms, necks, and feet are decorated with jewels, armbands, and bracelets, and they dance left and right, looking very strong and unforgettable.

At this time, Duo'er had already come out of the hall, and when she saw Qin Fei looking at the stele carefully, she also came over to take a closer look. After looking at it for a while, Duo'er said to Qin Fei: "Brother Qin, the mountain behind this group of dancers, I seem to have seen it somewhere." ”

Qin Fei originally just looked at the dancers, but he didn't look carefully at the other patterns on the stele, but when he saw Duo'er say it, he looked carefully, and there was really a mountain peak behind this group of dancers. The dancers seem to be dancing at the foot of a mountain or in a valley.

The peaks were no different, only a few strokes. It's just that one side of the mountain is a gentle slope, and the other side is like a knife chopping an axe, straight down to the foot of the mountain, which does look weird.

"I remember, among the treasure fragments stolen back by Uncle Datou from Western Xia, there is such a mountain, which is very impressive because it goes straight up and down. Doll said.

"Could it be that there really is such a mountain in the world?" Qin Fei also doubted himself, just an old monk not far from him was shoveling snow, so Qin Fei rushed over and raised his hand to salute: "The master is invited, there is an inquiry about the next matter, I wonder if the master has leisure?"

The old monk hurriedly folded his salute and said: "Amitabha, don't be polite, don't be polite, if you have something to say, it's okay to speak." ”

Qin Fei led the old monk to the stele, pointed to the peak of the stele and asked, "Master, dare to ask if this is really this mountain, or is it just an allusion engraved on the stele." ”

The old monk looked at the stele and replied: "This is the Baodao Peak on Boping Bayan Mountain, the stone tablet is incomplete, but this peak alone is indeed the Baodao Peak." Boping Bayan Mountain is the ancestral land of the Dangxiang Qiang people, and the dancers carved by the stone tablet are all Dangxiang Qiang people, so this peak should be the Baodao Peak undoubtedly. ”

Qin Fei and Duo'er glanced at each other, and their hearts were full of joy. Qin Fei bowed down and said to the old monk: "Thank you master for your guidance, I should have looked at this stone tablet for some years, but I didn't expect that the stone tablet engraved on it really has this mountain." ”
