Chapter 2: The Treasure of the Holy Sect (I)
Luo Tianchu recounted what had just happened, and only skimmed over the private matter with Yeluqi and did not mention it. After hearing this, everyone couldn't cry or laugh, Li Xiao blamed himself: "It's because my intelligence is not done well, I didn't find out the relationship between Yeluying and Yeluxi, and it was delayed for a long time, so please punish the lord of the castle." Luo Tianchu said: "It's not your fault, all decisions are made by me, and the responsibility lies with me." Zhu Yushi said: "What does the prince want to discuss with us at night?" Zhao Hengshan smiled: "Then it goes without saying, of course, he gave us the treasure." Luo Tianchu said: "Well, it's very likely." Li Xiaodao: "There is one thing that we may have overlooked. Luo Tianchu said: "What's the matter?" Li Xiao said: "If there is really a large number of treasures, how should we transport them away?" Everyone was stunned and had no idea for a while. Zhao Hengshan said: "Hire a dozen mule carts to pull it back." Li Xiaodao: "This is the territory of the Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Wushu lives under the same roof with us, isn't it so blatant to look for death?"
They discussed it for an hour, but they couldn't come up with a proper solution. Unconsciously, when it got dark, footsteps sounded in the corridor, and I only heard Gu Yu say: "Are you all here? The people followed her first to the main courtyard of Yeluying, and then from the hidden alley to Yeluqi's hut. Yelu's father and daughter obviously never left, Yelu's shoes were stained with dried mud, and there were five more people in the room, among whom only recognized Shimo Guchuan.
After everyone saluted, Yelu Ying began to introduce one by one, the oldest old man in coarse cloth and gray clothes was named Xiao Dong, his temples were bulging, his bony hands seemed to contain great strength, his knuckles were thick and long, the green tendons on the back of his hands rose up like earthworms, his palms were covered with calluses, and his two narrow eyes were shining, and he was a master of both internal and external cultivation at a glance. To his right was a horse-faced man dressed in sackcloth, named Xiao Nan, his younger brother, who was nine feet tall but thinner than his brother, like a hemp pole that could be blown away by the wind at any time. The swarthy and stout man standing against the wall was named Li Hu, his two arms were extraordinarily thick, his muscles were intertwined, and he held a man-high mixed iron flat pole in his hand. The last one is a middle-aged woman, named Xiao Mo, her appearance and clothes are very ordinary, but her hands are white and slender, her nails are smooth and neat, and she is better maintained than the ladies of rich and noble families.
After the introduction, Luo Tianchu and the others saw that these four people had first-class players, but they didn't know why their relationship was here. I only heard Ye Luying explain: "They are all the most elite warriors in my Great Liao Kingdom, and they are also the henchmen of this king. When needed, they will return to the king to obey the dispatch, and they will be absolutely loyal, and the king will not activate them until the critical moment. ”
Luo Tianchu said: "I didn't expect the prince to have this strange army." Jerod replied, "They are other people's husbands, wives, and children." The king did not want to disturb their lives. Xiao Dong said: "I have been incognito for many years just to leave a useful body to fight against the Jin Kingdom, and it is a great luck for the old man to wait for this day before closing his eyes." For the sake of Da Liao, he went to the soup and died. The rest of the people also whispered: "For the sake of Da Liao, I will die in the soup!" Luo Tianchu was surprised to find that Shimo Guchuan did not participate in the oath, but Gu Yu looked solemn, and read every word categorically. Yeluying smiled and said: "Actually, Gu Yu is also one of the 'Five Dead Soldiers', which is the 'maid' that the old man just said. Luo Tianchu was surprised: "It turns out that the Gu Yu girl also has martial arts, but she is gone." Gu Yu smiled: "How dare you take on the responsibility of protecting Miss without two moments, right, mother." The middle-aged woman named Xiao Mo smiled slightly, and said a word in Khitan language, and Gu Yu looked even more proud. Luo Tianchu knew that she was mostly praising her daughter, and then she found out that Gu Yu also had a pair of hands as exquisite as white jade, obviously the mother and daughter were both masters of hidden weapons.
Yeluying turned his words to the main topic, and said in a deep voice: "This king will never allow Qi'er to marry that beast who has completed Yan Wushu, tomorrow the old man will reject him in person, there are five dead soldiers and you present, this king wants to see how he dares to take the old man." Luo Tianchu said: "Could it be that the prince wants to deal with Yan Wushu?" Yelu won and said: "If he is interested, it will be fine, if he is still like today, no one in his eyes, and he will be disrespectful, this king will slaughter them all!" Shi Mo Guchuan said excitedly: "Although the subordinates and brothers are not high in martial arts, none of them are greedy for life and afraid of death, and they obey the prince's orders at any time." Yelu won: "If you make a move, you will deal with the twelve guards brought by Yan Wushu, and don't fight those masters." Shi Mo Guchuan said: "Yes!" Yelu Ying sighed: "I only hate that the sky does not favor me Da Liao, and there has never been a Zhongxing hero for decades." No one inherits the treasure of the Holy Sect, and this king has now decided to give all the treasures to the lord of Luobao to help you fight against the Jin Kingdom and avenge my Great Liao. Luo Tianchu was full of flowers, and immediately said: "The prince can rest assured, he is inseparable from the golden man under the oath, and the treasure is all used on the blade." Yeluying said lightly: "Don't be busy being happy first, you have to agree to the three conditions of this king, otherwise you will be treated as if this king did not say it." ”
Luo Tianchu thought that it was reasonable to mention a few conditions with such a generous gift, so he said, "Lord Wang, please speak." Yelu said: "First, all of us must go back to Chang'an with you, and we must also be given official positions, not empty positions." Luo Tianchu said: "I promise." Yeluying continued: "If you can overthrow the Jin Kingdom one day, you will return the homeland of the Liao Kingdom to us." At that time, my Liao State was willing to be your vassal state, pay tribute every year, and never invade from generation to generation. Luo Tianchu said with a smile: "The prince really looks down on me, let's not talk about whether the villain has that ability, even if he does, the homeland of the Liao State can be very tight, how to pay it back." Yelu said: "This king only hopes to revive the Liao Kingdom, and has no more luxury." Linzi is the birthplace of my Great Liao, and it is good to return it to us with a radius of 8,000 miles. Luo Tianchu was amused, thinking that if the Jin people knew that we were dividing their land, they would definitely laugh off their big teeth, and they didn't take it seriously at the moment, so they agreed. Yelu Ying said: "The last condition is that you must marry Qi'er as the main family, and if you ascend the throne in the future, you will also crown Qi'er as the queen." If you agree to this condition, the treasure is yours. ”
Luo Tianchu was taken aback, this condition was too embarrassing for him, although he and Ye Luqi had a husband and wife, but he had never considered marriage, and besides, everyone in the whole pass knew that his fiancée was Ling Xue'er, how could he marry another woman? Ye Luqi's cheeks were slightly red, but his eyes were full of expectation. Seeing that he was silent, Yelu Ying was displeased and said: "This king is a descendant of the royal family of the Liao Kingdom, and Qi'er is the lord of the county, is he not worthy of you?"
Luo Tianchu's brain turned quickly, weighing the pros and cons between them. The treasures of the Liao State are undoubtedly like a tiger with wings, not only to solve the urgent need, but also to recruit troops and store grain, and to purchase ordnance and war horses. If he canceled his marriage contract with Xue'er, it would only chill the old people of the Blood Knife Castle, and these people are the capital to compete for the world, not the treasure, how can they have the best of both worlds? Jeruqi's expression darkened, and she turned her head away from him. Yelu Ying also sank his face and said: "Why, don't you want the treasure?" Luo Tianchu said: "The county lord is the pearl of the prince's palm, if I marry her now, I am afraid that the prince will regret it in the future." Yelu said: "What do you say?" Luo Tianchu said: "Jin, Song, Western Xia, Tubo, Dali, Dongting, among all the forces, I have the least capital of the Blood Sword Castle, and only a corner of the country, sandwiched between the two powerful countries of Jin and Song. Now Wanyan Muhan led an army of 100,000 to attack Tongguan, and the victory or defeat was unpredictable. Even if the Jin army is repulsed, if you want to gain a foothold outside the pass, you may still be defeated at any time. If there really is that day, the prince doesn't want the county lord to become a widow instead of becoming a queen. (To be continued.) )
