Chapter 61: Yipintang

Shi Fan and Xiao Feng went to Xixia Yipintang side by side, Xiao Feng's eyes were red all the way, Elder Song's impassioned expression at that time was still vivid, but now he has died under the hands of the master of Xixia Yipintang, and hundreds of brothers who once drank in big bowls have returned to the underworld, how can Xiao Feng bear it!

Xiao Feng said in a deep voice: "Second brother, I am here to avenge my brother, there are many masters in Yipintang, why do you want to follow this trip to the troubled waters......"

Shi Fan said with a smile: "Since the eldest brother is going, how can I stand by and watch, let alone Yipintang, even if it is the Longtan Tiger's Den, I will not retreat half a step!" Shi Fan didn't care about the danger of this trip, since he practiced martial arts, what kind of master had he not encountered? There have been many dangers, and they have all come over stiffly, how can they retreat at this moment? Not to mention the nearly twenty years spent in Qiao's family, Xiao Feng and him are really closer than brothers.

Xixia Yipintang is indeed not to be underestimated, not only there are heroes like Helian Tieshu, but also masters like Duan Yanqing, and even Li Qiushui, one of the three elders in the Xixia Palace, with the strength of Shi Fan and Xiao Feng, it can indeed be called a game of nine deaths and a lifetime! Shi Fan knew that this would inevitably be a bloody battle to the end, and even with his own and Xiao Feng's martial arts, it might be dangerous, but how could Shi Fan be afraid?

In just five days, the two of them had already rushed to the territory of Western Xia. This Western Xia can now be called a strong soldier, especially the military strength of the Northern Song Dynasty, Li Qiushui secretly pressed the formation, and there was a Yipintang led by Helian Tieshu to deter, whether it was the Khitan or the Song Dynasty, they did not dare to brush the tiger's whiskers!

The two dressed up in disguise, pretending to be merchants who had come to the Western Xia, and infiltrated the capital of the Western Xia, Xingqing Mansion! Xingqing Mansion was the capital of the Western Xia. The city is rectangular, more than 18 miles in circumference. The moat is ten feet wide, with two gates in the north and south. East and West, one on each side. The road is square-shaped, the street is wider, and there are more than 20 neighborhoods such as Chongyi; The royal handicraft workshops are concentrated in the Miyagi Palace Hall; Religious sites include Chengtian Temple, Gaotai Temple, Jietan Temple, Buddha Temple, etc. The royal palaces and gardens in the city occupy a large area, and there is a certain scale of the palace castle, while the general residents are densely distributed in dozens of neighborhoods, all of which are low earthen houses or earthen houses.

The convenience of Xingqing Mansion as the capital of the Western Xia Dynasty is obvious. From the perspective of military geography, the original base areas of Western Xia, the area of Yin and Xia, the southeast was the territory of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the northeast was the powerful Liao State. Not only is the outward development greatly restricted, but also the surrounding area is close to the Song and Liao border defense towns, which is militarily vulnerable to threats, and the Xingqing Prefecture area, the water and grass are abundant, and the land is rich and grainy, and the Song and Liao forces cannot effectively control here. From the perspective of traffic geographical location, Xingqing Mansion "controls Heshuo in the north and Qingliang in the south." According to the upper reaches of the road, the key points in the west", its geographical situation is much superior to that of the silver and Xia areas. From the perspective of the economic environment, agriculture and animal husbandry in the surrounding areas of Xingqing Province are relatively developed. The relatively stable irrigation agriculture in the Yellow River basin can ensure the military and civilian food supply in the city. In addition to the original Tang Lai, Hanyuan ancient canal and other irrigation benefits, Yuan Haoshi also built the "Haowang Canal" on the alluvial plain at the eastern foot of Helan Mountain, which is more than 200 miles long, so that the agricultural and animal husbandry production in the suburbs of Xingqing Mansion has been further developed. It became one of the grain bases and important pastures in Western Xia.

The two walked into this Xingqing Mansion and saw that its prosperity was no less than that of the Central Plains City. It's just that it's not as good as Bianliang, but it has shown a moment of prosperity. Walk into the restaurant. The two of them went straight to the upper room, and then ordered some good food and meat in the room, and after feasting, they began to settle into pranayama.

At night, Xingqing Mansion, as the foot of the Western Xia Emperor, opened the curfew early, and the streets were dark, only the mansions of high-ranking officials and nobles were still brightly lit. Shi Fan and Xiao Feng changed into night clothes, and then went to the Yipintang station with their masks.

As an important place for martial arts masters in Western Xia, Yipintang is extremely heavily guarded, which can be called three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, and there are many patrols patrolling around. Shi Fan had "Ling Bo Weibu" and easily escaped the soldiers and infiltrated Yipintang, while Xiao Feng relied on his extremely profound skills and jumped into Yipintang while the patrol soldiers were exchanging without making a sound.

At the beginning of the change, the lights in Yipintang were still brilliant, and the voices were boiling. I saw that in the main hall, a banquet was being held. Among them, there was a middle-aged man with a majestic face, dressed in armor, and toasting from time to time. Sitting on his left hand side is Duan Yanqing, the head of the four evildoers in the world, and Duan Yanqing, who looks strange and ugly at this moment, is also frequently raising his glass. On Helian Tieshu's right, there was a slender young man sitting with a dignified appearance, but he didn't know who he was, and he was able to compete with Duan Yanqing!

In ancient times, the right side was respected, and the right hand side of the chief meant that his status in the crowd was only under Helian Tieshu, the general of the expedition to the east, so it can be seen that he must not be a mortal!

Xiao Feng glanced at Shi Fan, who slowly shook his head, indicating that he didn't know the young man either. Shi Fan thought hard, and there was a shadow in his heart, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

I only heard Helian Tieshu laugh and said: "Hahahaha, this time the beggar gang has been severely defeated, it has really greatly increased the prestige of our Xixia Yipintang, the Song people are weak, I thought I could meet Qiao Feng, but I didn't expect him to avoid it! Hmph, it seems that it is just a waste of fame......

Duan Yanqing, who knew a lot about the martial arts of the Central Plains, said in his belly: "The general must not underestimate Qiao Feng, oh, no, it should be Xiao Feng! He is actually a Khitan and has been expelled from the beggar gang...... Xiao Feng is famous all over the world, it must not be a person with no name, the general thinks about what Xiao Feng has done in the beggar gang over the years, even the old man has to say a word!"

When Helian Tieshu heard this, his eyes flashed, and he nodded and said: "What Mr. Duan said is also reasonable! However, the general did not expect that Xiao Feng, who had killed so many Khitans, was actually a Khitan himself! Hmph, killing the heroes of his own clan for the Han people, but when it arrived, he still did not tolerate the beggar gang! However, the beggar gang actually expelled Xiao Feng just for this reason, which shows that his rivers are declining day by day, and they are not as good as before...... Without Xiao Feng's beggar gang, it will be like the lamb we cut a few days ago, hahahaha......"

The young man on the right hand put down the wine glass in his hand and said lightly: "What the general said is extremely true!

Xiao Feng's eyes flashed when he heard this, but Shi Fan secretly wondered in his heart, "Who is this young man? Why is he so clear about the things in the apricot forest that day? According to Helian Tieshu, it is obvious that he didn't know about the matter in the apricot forest of Brother Xiao before, Duan Yanqing must have learned about the eldest brother's departure from the beggar gang through his own channels! But that young man actually knew that the beggar gang had rebelled, it was really strange......" Shi Fan was surprised in his heart, but his face did not show anything, he held his breath and concentrated, and his whole body was constricted, as if it did not exist......

In the hall, Yue Laosan and Zhong Wanqiu were drinking wine, Zhong Wanqiu left the Valley of Ten Thousand Tribulations and came to this Western Xia, relying on Duan Yanqing's heavy down, and he also mixed well. Now that Duan Yanqing is in the team, only Yue Laosan is left, so he also attaches great importance to Zhong Wanqiu, so Zhong Wanqiu is more chic and comfortable than before......

Helian Tieshu was drunk, and couldn't help but say to himself: "Hehe, this time we have won a big victory in the battle with the beggar gang! It not only tested the meaning of the temple of the Song Dynasty, but also severely damaged the beggar gang, and it was really a full return! The fly in the ointment was that the old man was desperately entangled with Mr. Duan, otherwise he would definitely annihilate the beggar gang in that forest! That old man's martial arts are not weak, Mr. Duan, do you know his name?"

When Duan Yanqing heard this, he said in a low voice: "It is said that he is one of the four elders of the Beggar Gang, and his status is only under the old immortal white-haired old man and the two elders of law enforcement and inheritance, but he is a big fish!"

"Hahahaha......"

Everyone laughed in unison, Xiao Feng's eyes were splitting when he heard it outside, and he couldn't help but shout under the agitation of his heart: "You all deserve to die!" and said a trick "Kang Long has regrets" and went straight through the gate and entered......

Everyone in the hall was celebrating, and they couldn't help but be furious when they were caught off guard, Duan Yanqing couldn't help but pull out his crutches when he saw Hurricane coming straight towards Helian Tieshu, and suddenly two finger winds stopped at the True Qi Crazy Dragon! Helian Tieshu's face was pale and he wanted to suffocate. The young man's long sword on the right hand came out of its sheath, and suddenly ten thousand sword lights were cast into a wall of sword light in front of Helian Tieshu! )
