Two days later, in the early morning, there was not much traffic at the north gate of Bianliang, and more than a dozen carriages with Jia maid wine were parked there, looking like they were waiting for someone. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Frost, what are you doing here? I'm enough. On one of the carriages, Zhao Si didn't care about the convection frost.

"Why didn't I see what you were capable of, and besides, you said my words well. If you meet a bandit in Daliao, you don't have to rely on us. Liushuang wiped the steel knife in his hand, and said to Zhao Sidao indifferently. Driftfrost also picked up the knife and gestured in the carriage.

Zhao Si watched Liushuang swing the knife indiscriminately, and regretted that he was sitting in the same car with him, thinking of this, he shrank back and hugged his burden to his chest.

"When did you say they would come, let our young master wait for so long. Zhao Si watched the frosty knife get closer and closer to him, swallowed his saliva, and hurriedly said.

When Liushuang heard this, he put the steel knife back into the sheath and said to Zhao Si with a smile: "It should be soon, the first thing people in the rivers and lakes pay attention to is trustworthiness." Don't worry, Childe is not in a hurry, so don't be nervous. ”

Zhao Si glanced at Liushuang dissatisfied, then looked at Zhao Xiaoyong's carriage behind him and shook his head.

Zhao Xiaoyong sat in the carriage and pushed the charcoal stove forward, and the smell of charcoal was really big. However, the warm wine on it was prepared for Qiao Feng. Zhao Xiaoyong sighed, he didn't want to take Zhao Si and Liushuang, but he didn't expect them to follow, and the two of them replaced the two guys who were going to Daliao.

"Forget it, this doesn't matter, they haven't been to Daliao anyway, as long as they don't participate in the action. It's just that they haven't come yet. Zhao Xiaoyong muttered. Zhao Xiaoyong was wearing the work clothes of the Longmen Inn, which he specially asked Liu Jinbao for.

After a while, Qiao Feng came to the north gate surrounded by several beggar disciples. Looking at the long line of wine carts in front of him, he smiled in surprise, and then turned to one of the carriages: "Is the junior brother here?" and waved his hand backwards at the same time, asking a few beggars to help the disciples go back.

When Zhao Xiaoyong heard this, he walked out of the carriage and said to Qiao Feng with a smile: "Senior brother is a little late, and he will have to pay a few drinks in a while." ”

"This, haha, I had a few more drinks yesterday. For the last time, I promise today is the last time. Qiao Feng smiled apologetically at Zhao Xiaoyong. Qiao Feng drank with the beggars yesterday and drank all the wine that Zhao Xiaoyong gave him, so he was a little late in the morning.

At this time, Qiao Feng saw that the beggars still hadn't left, so he turned around and said with a smile: "Go back, you just wait to hear my good news." ”

"Well, let's go back and wait to hear the good news from the helmsman, I believe that the helmsman will succeed. The beggar who took the lead laughed. The beggars looked at Qiao Feng again, turned around and left.

At this time, Zhao Xiaoyong said to Liushuang, who had just gotten out of the car: "Go, tell me to go down, and I'm ready to go." After hearing this, Liushuang bowed his hand and went to find Gao Jie, the manager of the team.

On the way to Nanjing, Gao Jie was responsible for most of the problems that arose in this convoy, and Zhao Xiaoyong did not have the right to speak on some issues. This is what Gao Jie said to Zhao Xiaoyong before leaving.

After Xiao Jiaci returned the New Year's coin, he was sent to Nanjing by Emperor Liao to serve as the privy deputy envoy of the Southern Yuan. Nanjing was the political, military and economic center of Liao in North China, which is today's Beijing and was inhabited by the Han people. It is also the largest of the five capitals in Liao, and its buildings basically follow the old city of the Tang Dynasty. The goal of Zhao Xiaoyong and his entourage is Nanjing.

After the convoy set off, Qiao Feng sat in Zhao Xiaoyong's carriage, smelled the aroma of wine in the air, and swallowed his saliva. Zhao Xiaoyong smiled, took out two bowls, and put them in front of the two.

"I won't drink it today, so as not to make a mistake. Qiao Feng stopped Zhao Xiaoyong's action of pouring wine and refused.

"There is only this pot, and there is no more after drinking it, senior brother doesn't have the amount of this pot. Zhao Xiaoyong smiled and shook the wine jug.

Qiao Feng looked at the wine glass and smiled. said: "You really caught my sore feet, I just can't bear this good wine, fill it up, and have a drink with you." ”

When Zhao Xiaoyong heard this, he smiled and filled Qiao Feng with wine, and the two of them toasted it. After that, Zhao Xiaoyong took out a human skin mask from his arms, handed it to Qiao Feng and said, "Senior brother, try it and see if it works." ”

When Shi Qinglu made a human skin mask, he also asked Zhao Xiaoyong to take Qiao Feng to Wangzhuang together. Shi Qinglu said that he had never seen Qiao Feng, and the mask he made was not the same size as his face, and it was easy to be recognized.

It's also a shame that Shi Qinglu hasn't gone to the rivers and lakes in the past few years, otherwise he knows the name of Beiqiao Feng, and he doesn't know what idea to fight Qiao Feng.

Qiao Feng put down the wine glass and took the mask curiously, he really hadn't brought this thing before. Qiao Feng put on a human skin mask and tidied up again.

"How is it? Do you still recognize me?" Qiao Feng felt that it was almost over, and raised his head to Zhao Xiaoyong.

Zhao Xiaoyong looked at it at a glance, it was not bad, it was quite similar. The mask is the face of a man in his thirties, in order not to highlight Qiao Feng's complexion, his face is a little dark, his appearance is ordinary, and he is very popular. There is also a beard, which blocks the gap between the mask and Qiao Feng's skin. It's just that Qiao Feng's expression is a little stiff, and he can't find a flaw if he doesn't take a closer look.

At this time, Zhao Xiaoyong said: "I think it's good, you can see for yourself." After finishing speaking, he took out a bronze mirror from behind and handed it to Qiao Feng.

Qiao Feng picked up the mirror, turned his face left and right, and focused on the junction between the mask and the skin. Hearing Qiao Feng nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's not bad, you can't see it if you don't take a closer look." ”

Then the two brothers began to chat, and Zhao Xiaoyong told Qiao Feng about his experience in Shaolin in the past three years. Qiao Feng told Zhao Xiaoyong about some of the things he had done in the past three years. What broke a small group of Liao soldiers and assassinated unscrupulous corrupt officials.

Zhao Xiaoyong was secretly happy when he heard it, Qiao Feng said this in front of me, it seems that he didn't treat me as an outsider. After drinking a pot of wine, Qiao Feng stretched his waist and said to Zhao Xiaoyong: "It's a little stuffy here, when you stop to rest for a while, I'll ride a horse." ”

After hearing this, Zhao Xiaoyong nodded. At the same time, he said to Qiao Feng with interest: "Senior brother, will you often go to Bianliang in the future? If you go, you have to come to me." I'd like to learn something from you. ”

"I don't know very well, it depends on whether the gang needs me to go to Bianliang, but we rarely go, there are many big officials there. Qiao Feng said as he tore off his mask, feeling uncomfortable. Qiao Feng planned to bring a mask again when he arrived in Daliao.

Zhao Xiaoyong nodded when he heard this, but did not speak.

By noon, the group began to rest. Zhao Si began to help Zhao Xiaoyong prepare a small stove, but Zhao Xiaoyong refused. When you go out, of course, you have to share the ups and downs with everyone.

Since Qiao Feng got on the horse in the afternoon, he has not come off the horse except for sleeping on the way. Since Zhao Xiaoyong took the good road of Longmen Inn, the road was unimpeded. The further north the group went, the lower the temperature and the sparsely populated it became. It is usually necessary to travel a long distance to resupply once. Zhao Xiaoyong knew that it was not far from Liao.

"It's strange, Song Liao has been fighting for many years, why is this still deserted. Zhao Xiaoyong said to Zhao Sidao suspiciously.

"It's not the big war a few years ago, it scared the people here away, and they have been running south. I heard others say that the Liao soldiers killed people when they saw them, which was very cruel, and then there was gradually no one here. Zhao Si poured Zhao Xiaoyong a cup of tea first, and then spoke.

Zhao Xiaoyong looked at his head, and at the same time opened the curtain, the scenery here is good.

After walking for another day or two, Gao Jie reminded everyone. has arrived at the border of Song and Liao, and it is possible to encounter Liao soldiers at any time, so everyone should be on guard. As long as you pass the new city in front, it is Liao's territory. At this time, Qiao Feng put on a mask in case the Liao soldiers suddenly appeared and had no time to put it on.

After the group walked for a long time, Zhao Xiaoyong heard some shaking on the ground, "Are the Liao soldiers coming?" Zhao Xiaoyong thought. Gao Jie stopped the convoy, Qiao Feng's eyes narrowed, he jumped off the horse and hid in the middle of the crowd.

After a while, a small group of Liao cavalry came outside the caravan. The leader of the cavalry led by him had no hair on his head, as if it were an artificial Mediterranean. With a bow and arrow on his back, he saw that Gao Jie was from the Song Dynasty, and he chattered to Gao Jie at the front with his toes high, while saying that the horsewhip also pointed to the wine in the car.

Gao Jie also talked to him in Liao, and as he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to the cavalry leader. He looked at the paper handed by Gao Jie, and then said something to the cavalry behind him.

Gao Jie turned back to everyone and said, "Don't move, they want to check our things, just let them take a look." ”

After Gao Jie finished speaking, the Liao soldiers entered the convoy, the jar of wine swayed, the jar of wine knocked on, but it was not opened to taste it, Zhao Xiaoyong was very strange when he saw it, and said in his heart, "This Liao soldier is so qualified, do you want to eat and take a card?"

Qiao Feng saw that a Liao soldier had arrived near him, and shrank back again. He lowered his head and didn't look at the Liao soldier. Liao Bing saw Qiao Feng shrinking in the crowd and squeezed over. Want to see what's in their midst.

At this time, Zhao Xiaoyong glanced at the flowing frost. Liushuang sighed, raised a jar of wine, and walked over in half-baked Khitan dialect.

Liushuang has been learning Khitan dialect with the interpreters in the caravan for the past few days, and after a few days, it has also had some effect. As for whether the Khitan people can understand the Khitan dialect of Liushuang, it depends on his own imagination and understanding of sign language.

I saw Liao Bing and Liushuang talking, and the two laughed from time to time. In the end, the Liao soldiers accepted the jar of wine, patted Liushuang's shoulder cordially, called the nearby Liao soldiers, and left together.

As soon as Qiao Feng saw the Liao soldiers leave, the internal force that was transported gradually returned to the dantian. Zhao Xiaoyong hadn't said anything yet, and Zhao Sixian said suspiciously: "Didn't you meet your own brother, did you? ”

"Secret. Liushuang smiled at Zhao Sidao.
