CH.17 The Second Envoy, Codenamed "His Person"
The soldiers had done as they were told, and Zhao Liangsi stepped on the Shenxing horse and whipped eastward. When he arrived at the ferry, he saw Zhao Yi walking down from the boat, and said, "The thing is done?"
Zhao Yi bowed first, but was stopped by Zhao Liangsi waving his hand, and then approached Zhao Liangsi's side and whispered: "Wanyan Aguda has agreed." This is the national letter. Zhao Yi took out a scroll written in Chinese and Jurchen characters from his bosom, and the existence of the two jade seals really proved the success of this alliance.
Zhao Liangsi said in his heart: "This Wanyan Pifu is really cunning and cunning, the first few envoys, each time before the envoy, they agreed to meet the alliance, and after they went, they made things difficult in every possible way, and they had a plan." Now the emperor allowed the "Xikun Sword Sutra" as a quid pro quo, and sure enough, the horseman immediately agreed to form an alliance. ”
"My lord, I-"
"Your mission has been completed, so go back to your place and recuperate. ”
Zhao Yi boarded a carriage and slowly marched west with the army. Zhao Liangsi watched the carriage and horses go away, and with a whistle, a two-story passenger boat rowed over the sea. Before the boat reached the shore, it suddenly turned around and was already heading north. Zhao Liangsi stepped on the sea and floated on the boat.
The boat was small, but it was fast, like a shark, rowing through the endless sea. After four hours, the boat reached the shore, and another group of Jurchen soldiers was waiting in front of the shore.
Zhao Liangsi lifted the curtain of the ship, got off the boat, and asked the soldiers in Jurchen language, "Lord Wanyan has not arrived yet?"
The Jurchen soldier said, "Please wait a moment. ”
As soon as the words fell, the soldiers dodged one after another, and a man in a felt hat and armor came from behind. Zhao Liangsi hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Wanyan Tejin, your official frame is also a little bigger." ”
After calling Yan Tejin, the person said with a smile: "Brother Zhao, don't come to be harmed! There is a way to say goodbye to Shibei for three days, when you look at it, the true language level of the brother's daughter is really improving by leaps and bounds, and it still has the taste of going to Beijing." ”
Zhao Liangsi laughed, stepped forward to hold Wan Yan's hand, and used his sword qi to force the veins and blood to collide with his fingers, and the aftermath would linger along the other party's fingers.
Wanyan Taijin did not change his color, and his breathing was just normal, and Zhao Liangsi felt a strong sword flow and magnetic field coming from the other party's fingers. "The cultivation of this broken felt hat has also stepped into the sixth stage," Zhao Liangsi thought, still showing a smile on his face.
After the two tested each other, they had an understanding before they got to the point.
Zhao Liangsi looked cautious and said, "How is 'his person' recently?"
"Still no news. Wan Yan Yan shook her head and said.
"Swords and sword scores...... Is that also the case, no news?"
"Nope. What's there in the Liao Kingdom lately?"
Zhao Liangsi shook his head and said, "Ten teams of two envoys sent out one after another have all gone home. I am afraid that Xiao Fengxian's old thief has been fully prepared. However, the spy came to report that the Liao cavalry has been moving frequently recently, and most of them are rushing to the eastern front, so you should plan early. ”
Wanyan Tejin frowned, as if she had something on her mind, and then said, "The wolf lord ordered me to take you to see 'his person'." ”
The two also boarded Maxima and went straight north. They were followed by Wan Yan's two subordinates, both of whom were masters of the fifth stage, Fan Shiwei. The four of them neighed four times, and the hooves couldn't stop clattering forward.
Twilight arrived in Shangjing, but Wanyan led Zhao Liangsi to change the path to the west and gradually approached the Liao Kingdom. Zhao Liangsi was puzzled, and speculated for a while before thinking: "Wanyan Agu is really ruthless in beating this horseman, and no matter how the spies, informants and killers of the Liao Kingdom explore, they can't know where this place is." The so-called far away in the sky, close in front of you, the edge of the sky is easy to think of and find, and everyone in front of you will ignore it, so it is not so easy to think of and find. ”
When they reached the edge of a grassland, the two Jurchen men were already standing still. Zhao Liangsi followed Wan Yan and continued to urge the horse forward.
In front of a mountain, Wanyan Tejin had already dismounted, and Zhao Liangsi also dismounted.
Wan Yan smiled: "Lord Zhao's cultivation is really good. This place is almost cold, I still feel a little cold in my leather jacket, my son actually walked this part of the road to protect the body, admiration and admiration. ”
When he said this, he used Chinese, and the official pronunciation was pure, without any Jurchen accent, and even Zhao Liangsi was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Your land is really full of talents." He didn't use the word "country", obviously, he couldn't use the word "country" to indulge the arrogance of the nuzhen.
Wan Yan nodded and motioned for him to follow. Walking to a cave where two boulders were piled up, Wanyan stopped. He walked back and forth a few star positions, and when Zhao Liangsi looked at it, he walked in the order of the three odds, which belonged to the law of Qimen. After Yan finished walking, two boulders suddenly opened, and a passage bent into it. When Yan looked back, Zhao Liangsi pretended to be puzzled and said: "What about going in directly, why do you go through so many twists and turns, and what is the reason for this mechanism?"
There was a hint of surprise and suspicion in Wan Yan's eyes, and then the two of them stopped talking, lit a torch from the entrance of the cave, and coiled inside.
I twisted and wound around a few holes, and drilled from hole to hole, and then stopped in front of a large stone gate. Zhao Liangsi thought to himself, this grandson must be walking me to play, I'm afraid I know the way, but the road in this cave is really long.
Wanyan put his hand on the stone door, knocked up, slapped in the middle, and buckled down. After three sounds, there were also three sounds behind the door, and after Yan coughed, the stone door opened immediately.
All of a sudden, the lights came on. Inside the door, I saw a group of Jurchen soldiers standing, and huge torches were burning in the room. Looking at the scene, it seems that everything is complete, pots and pans, it is not bad.
"Your Excellency. The soldier bowed to Wan Yan and said.
Wan Yan nodded and called three times: "A, B, C." Then the three Jurchen soldiers marked "A, B, C" in Chinese in front of them walked forward. The three of them each took out a brass key and bowed slightly to Wan Yan.
"Very well, samurai hard work. ”
After Yan finished speaking, he led Zhao Liangsi to walk deeper into the cave. Coming to an iron door, Wan Yan unlocked it with a key. After entering the door, he walked another thirty steps, turned a corner, and there was an iron gate in front of him. Wan Yan used the remaining two keys to open the lock.
A man with a disheveled head and a full beard was bound hand and foot by four chains of gold and steel. The candle-lit room was cold, and this man was still wearing a white shirt. Zhao Liangsi's hands and feet had begun to be cold, and the person in front of him seemed to be sleeping deeply. This kind of cultivation is really frightening.
"You see, it's still like this. Wan Yan said to Zhao Liangsi.
"Does he know Jurchen literature?" Zhao Liangsi suddenly asked.
Wan Yan said: "No. Every time we say something, he is as ignorant as a chicken and a dog. We have a translator who is proficient in Khitan to interrogate with him. ”
Through the candle flame, Zhao Liangsi saw that there were blood marks everywhere on his white shirt, and these blood marks were not very deep, shallow and faint as a bump. Ordinary punishment can no longer hurt a cultivator with this physique, Zhao Liangsi understands that the Jurchens must have used an unusual punishment, but even so, it is only a few downstrokes on the body of the person in front of him, and it seems that he is helpless against his flesh.
