Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Demeanor of a King
Yelu Ruan was thinking about it when he suddenly heard someone walking towards him. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info He opened his eyes suddenly, and found that although the person who came was wearing the armor of a Khitan soldier, between his eyebrows was the appearance of a Han person. He hurriedly stood up and asked aloud, "Who are you, and why are you in the king's tent?"
There were heavy soldiers guarding the outside of the golden-domed tent, and this person could easily come in, which really impressed Yelu Ruan. The man did not answer, but pointed to the top of the tent, and saw that a hole about a foot long had been revealed on it. Yelu Ruan was about to shout out to the soldiers outside the tent, but the man had already flown up to him, pinched his sleeve tightly, and whispered, "Don't bluff, or I will be rude to you." ”
Yelu Ruan was also a person who had seen the world, and knew that the person who came was not good, so he took a deep breath and asked indifferently: "Who is Your Excellency? This king has never known you in his life, and there is nothing offensive about it, why did you enter the camp to assassinate me? Who sent you?"
The man smiled slightly: "The prince is worthy of being the dragon among people, and he can still be calm and calm at this time, which is really admirable!"
The person who spoke was none other than Yu Hengzi, who had just lurked on top of the big tent. When he saw that the generals had left, he quietly cut through the coarse cloth on the top of the tent while Yelu Ruan was napping, and floated down from above. Who knew that Yelu Ruan was not sleeping, and when he heard the sound of hurried footsteps, he immediately opened his eyes.
Yelu Ruan thought to himself: "Although this person is a Han Chinese, but his accent doesn't look like a person from the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, could it be that he is a gap sent by the Jin State?" Ye Lu Ruan couldn't move his whole body, and only said: "Since Your Excellency refuses to tell your real name, you must be determined to get along with me." This king is not your opponent, you have to kill or chop, listen to it. But before he died, this king had a few words to say to you. ”
Yu Hengzi looked at him with slanted eyes and said, "If you have something to say, just say it, don't delay time." ”
Yelu Ruan said unhurriedly: "Your Excellency, the people who ordered to attack your Jin Kingdom are now enjoying themselves in the camp ten miles away. You Han people have a saying, there is a wrong, there is a debtor, you don't go to assassinate the initiator, but come to take the life of the king, what kind of hero is it! If the Jin Kingdom is all simple-minded warriors like you, how can you not die at the hands of my Khitan? ”
Yu Hengzi didn't want to kill Yelu Ruan, he just wanted to take him away and force the Khitan to retreat. But at this time, after hearing his words, I was a little hesitant in my heart. Yelu Ruan was just one of the commanders of the Khitan army, and even without him, the Khitan could still continue the southern expedition. Moreover, Yelu Deguang was already suspicious of Yelu Ruan, worried that he would threaten his throne. If you take Yelu Ruan away at this time, wouldn't it be in the hands of Yelu Deguang, but help him, so it's not cost-effective.
Yelu Ruan saw that Yu Hengzi was silent, and said: "Your Excellency is a person who understands righteousness. This king is only doing what he is commanded, and his sin is not unto death!"
Yu Hengzi let go of his hand and said slowly, "You have a point. Since Jerod Light is near, I will visit him another day. Remember, don't tell anyone about this, or I'll take your head at any time. After saying that, with a wave of his arm, the big knife instantly shot out and flew towards the wooden pillar in the tent, only to hear a loud "click", and the pillar with the big bowl mouth was broken into two. The big knife turned around in the tent and returned to Yu Hengzi's hand.
Yelu Ruan was stunned in his heart, and said in a straight voice: "What Your Excellency said, this king must keep in mind. ”
Yu Hengzi sneered and said: "I will do what I say I will do, and I will do what I say! Yelu Ruan arched his hand and said: "It turned out to be a knight of Shu Kingdom, and this king is fortunate!"
Yu Hengzi was taken aback, remembering that he had just blurted out that he had inadvertently revealed his identity, so he said: "Lord Wang, there are still things to do next, and I will consult you another day." After saying that, he took off his armor, erected half of the wooden stake on the floor, and put it on the ground with all his might, and his body flew straight towards the top of the big tent, quickly disappearing from sight.
Yelu Ruan saw Yu Hengzi's true face and saw him coming and going freely in his military camp, and his heart was suddenly ashamed. He turned his head and carefully looked at the half of the stake, and found that the roots had been deeply embedded in the ground, and he couldn't help but sigh: "This person's martial arts are so strong, if he can be used by me, how good it would be." He repeated the words "Seven Swords of Western Shu" and thought to himself: "Could it be that there are seven of them? Shu is thousands of miles away from Yingzhou, why did they appear here? Could it really be to assassinate the emperor?" Yelu Ruan's heart jumped violently when he thought of this, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
At this moment, a trumpet sounded from outside the tent. The soldiers in the tents near the Golden Dome got up and gathered in the open space outside the tent. Yelu Ruan didn't know what was going on in the camp, so he picked up the long sword on the platform and rushed out of the tent. When the soldiers saw the commander come out, they all looked at him suspiciously.
Yelu Ruan asked loudly, "What's going on outside?" The soldiers didn't answer, you look at me, I look at you, confused. Yelu Ruan was about to get angry, when he suddenly saw a trumpet on the ground not far away, and his heart suddenly understood.
Yu Hengzi left the Golden Dome Tent, and then returned to the tent that passed in front, untied the Khitan soldiers, and then deliberately blew the horn to lure all the soldiers outside the Golden Dome Tent, and he took advantage of the chaos to escape. Kaiyangzi and Shaoguangzi were not far away at this time, and after the two heard the horn, they thought that the eldest brother had been discovered, and they both rushed to the Jinding tent, but they met Yuhengzi on the road, and the three of them left together.
When they arrived at the lookout on the edge of the barracks, Yu Hengzi stopped, flew up to unlock the acupoints of those soldiers, and then quickly went up the mountain with the two.
Kaiyangzi and Shaoguangzi were very puzzled by his behavior, and Yu Hengzi said: "I promised these people earlier that I would unlock the acupoints for them when I came back from my errands. Honesty is the foundation of being a human being, and how can I let them break the standards in my heart. ”
Kaiyangzi said with a smile: "Big brother, aren't you afraid that they will blow the horn and let the Khitan soldiers chase us?" Yu Hengzi said: "Everything is foreseen, and if you don't prepare, you will be wasted." I've already thought of a countermeasure. Their trumpets were now outside the tent of the former battalion commander. ”
Kaiyangzi and Shaoguangzi looked at each other and smiled, admiring the eldest brother's strategy. The three of them exchanged pleasantries all the way, and soon reached the top of the mountain to meet the others.
When Tianquanzi and the others saw the three elder brothers coming back, they immediately got up and asked, "Big brother, how are you doing?" Yu Hengzi said: "Things are going well, and I heard a lot of news." We'll go to Sky Lodge now, and I'll tell you what's going on in the camp on the way. ”
The group flew on their horses and drove their horses eastward.
