Duguyun and his entourage, when they arrived in a small town, Wang Ziyan took a token and handed it to Xue Lan, who left for a while and came back, with five more horses behind her. Duguyun and the others were overjoyed, and immediately got on the horse, led by Xuelan and Wang Ziyan all the way to the south, Changbai Mountain belongs to the extreme north, and if you want to get to Shangjing, you naturally have to go all the way to the south.

The five of them hurried all the way, and there was no rest at night, and by the evening of the next day, they had arrived at the outskirts of Shangjing, ten miles. Wang Ziyan pointed ahead and said, "Brother Yun, you see, that is the capital of my Jin Kingdom, how is it compared to your Bian Jing in the Central Plains?" Dugu Yun said: "Not bad." It's really full, but compared with my Bian Jing, I'm afraid it's still a little insufficient. Wang Ziyan was disappointed for a while after hearing this. Dugu Yun saw that she was unhappy, and said: "But Bian Jing's customs and customs are not very good, the court is full of corrupt officials and faint kings, and most of your newly established Jin Kingdom cannot be compared." Wang Ziyan said happily: "Then do you like Beijing more, or do you like Bian Jing?"

Duguyun thought to herself: "It's not easy for her to answer this, as far as I am, I naturally like Bian Jingcheng in the Great Song Dynasty, which is my own capital after all." But he saw the confident look on Wang Ziyan's face, and knew that if he told the truth, Wang Ziyan would be sad, but if he wanted him to tell such a lie to deceive her to be happy, he couldn't say anything. After a moment of silence, he said: "It's getting dark, let's hurry up and try to enter the city early." As soon as he finished speaking, he took the lead in running to Beijing. Wang Ziyan had to chase after him.

After running for about three miles, the sky was already dark, and Duguyun had been running at the front. Wang Ziyan was behind Duguyun, less than a zhang. Wang Ziyan said: "Brother Yun." Wait for me. It's okay to slow down. Even if I arrive at the city later, I can also let the generals defending the city open the city gate with my identity. Dugu Yun said: "That's not 、、、" As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly saw a pair of centaurs in front of him. Duguyun hurriedly stopped. Wang Ziyan said happily: "Great, it must be that the fifth brother knows that we are coming, and sent a big pair of people to pick us up." He shouted, "Fifth brother." Is that you?" she had recovered a lot, but she had been walking for days, and her breath was a little lacking, and her voice was a little hoarse, and she didn't know if the person on the other side heard it. She was about to catch up. Duguyun hurriedly jumped up. Stop Wang Ziyan.

Wang Ziyan said: "What?" Dugu Yun said: "Wait and talk about it first, it seems that something is wrong?" Wang Ziyan said: "It's okay, this is my Dajin National Capital, anyone who dares to be rude to me, even if they are not the people sent by my fifth brother, there is no need to be afraid." Dugu Yun said: "Look, what is the difference in their dress?" Wang Ziyan looked at it, at this time, the two sides were dozens of feet apart, and they couldn't see it very clearly in the night. Said: "It's no different, they are just wearing military uniforms, what's this? In Jinguo, most of the people wear this military uniform." In order to join the battle at any time. ”

Dugu Yun said: "No, you take a closer look, their military uniforms." Is it like your Jin country's clothes? Why do I look like the clothes of the Liao people?" Wang Ziyan looked at it carefully again and exclaimed, "Not bad. It's true that this is not the costume of my Jin country, but I don't know if it's not from the Liao country?" The Jin State went to war with the Liao State, but she had never been on the battlefield, and she had never seen the clothing of the Liao army. Fortunately, Duguyun broke through the camp of the Liao army, and even saw the first warrior of the Jin country, so he knew some about the costumes of the two armies.

Wang Ziyan said: "Brother Yun, what should I do now, are they really Liao Army? This is Shangjing, the boundary of my Jin Kingdom, how did they come here?" Dugu Yun said: "I don't know, I have to take a look." Dismounted, and the two hid behind a boulder. After a while, the father and son of the Wu family and Xue Lan rushed over. Duguyun hurriedly asked the three of them to dismount. Wu Xiugu said: "Big brother, what's wrong? Why don't we leave?" Dugu Yun said: "The situation ahead is unknown, let's find out first." Wu Xiugu said: "Okay, wait for me to take a look." ”

Wu Qingyun stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "Child, you can't take this risk, it's better for Daddy to go!" As soon as the words fell, Chi Ma ran forward. I saw a commotion on the opposite side, and in a blink of an eye, a general stood on a high mountain pass, shouting loudly, but he couldn't understand what he said. Duguyun asked Wang Ziyan and said, "What are they talking about?" Sister, do you understand?" As soon as he finished speaking, the other party shot a rain of arrows, Wu Qingyun hurriedly waved his sword to block the grid, and retreated, the mount had been hit by an arrow and fell to the ground, and he was also hit by an arrow in the shoulder, hurting a little flesh and skin. Dugu Yun hurriedly snatched him behind the boulder, where sharp arrows couldn't shoot.

Wu Qingyun said: "Who are they, why do they release arrows at every turn, Wang Ziyan shook his head and said: "I don't know, what they said just now seems to be Khitan." Wu Qingyun said: "Khitan, isn't this the place of your Jin Kingdom? How could there be Khitan people, didn't you take us the wrong way and break into Daliao?" Wang Ziyan was shocked, and thought: "The road to Shangjing is not often walked, isn't it really wrong, and I actually went to the capital division of Daliao." I couldn't help but shake my head and said: "I don't know, I'm not very familiar with this road, and it's impossible to say if I took the wrong road, so what should we do now?"

Dugu Yun said: "I don't think it like, there seems to be a big pair of men and horses stationed behind this mountain, it should be the army of Da Liao, since it is the army of Da Liao, there should be no reason to be stationed five or six miles outside the city, they should be the army that came to besiege Shangjing." ”

When Wang Ziyan heard this, his face turned pale immediately, and he said in a panic: "My Jin country is besieged, so isn't my brother and them dangerous, no, I have to rush to save them." Dugu Yun said: "Don't worry, Ziyan girl, the Liao army is stationed here, and most of them haven't entered the city yet." Your brother should be safe. Now the key is that the Liao army has discovered our traces, and if they come to besiege us, it will not be good. As soon as he finished speaking, sure enough, there was already a pair of men and horses on the opposite side, about a hundred people, rushing towards where they were.

Wu Xiugu said: "They are here, what should I do?" Dugu Yun said: "There are many of them, they are invincible, everyone retreat quickly." I'm going to hold them back. At this time, it was already dark, so everyone retreated to the woods we passed by just now, and then we said. Wang Ziyan said: "But it's too dangerous for you to stay alone, so I'll stay with you!"

Dugu Yun said: "No. I stayed alone, the target is small, and it is not easy to be detected in the dark. Too many people is not good. Listen to me and go. Wu Xiugu said: "But big brother, you 、、、?" Dugu Yun shouted: "Go, go quickly." If you don't leave, everyone won't be able to go. The four of them saw that he was resolute. And was frightened by his shouting, and did not dare to say anything at the moment, so he had to get on his horse and gallop away. Duguyun hides behind the boulder, and if he doesn't pay attention in the dark night, it is extremely difficult to be discovered.

When the Liao army heard the sound of hooves, they shouted one after another, clamoring to chase after them. But in the dark night, it is not easy to chase. The Liao army is mostly mounted. Hundreds of horsemen rushed past the boulder where Duguyun was invisible. But no one found Duguyun. When everyone ran to the last person, Duguyun jumped up, kicked the man off the horse, took the horse himself, turned the horse's head, and ran to another road. In the end, the Liao soldier fell off his horse. But he didn't suffer much damage, but he ate a mouthful of mud and made him scream so angrily. When the Liao army heard his angry scolding, they turned their heads one after another. chased after Duguyun.

The leader of the Liao army thought that the enemy was cunning and must not fall for the plan, so he shouted angrily, and dropped dozens of horses to chase Wang Ziyan and others. In the dark. Although the horsepower of the Liao army was fast, it was extremely difficult to catch up. I couldn't catch up after chasing for a while, and I chased for a while. Duguyun has lost his trace, and even the sound of the horse's kicking can no longer be heard. At this time, Duguyun had already avoided the Liao army. turned his head and chased after Wang Ziyan and the others. Wait for him to chase him into the woods. It's the middle of the night. Dozens of horsemen were besieging Wang Ziyan, the four of them were surrounded, there was no way out, Duguyun arrived, just in time, he flew up and kicked the three Liao soldiers off their horses. Break through an exit. The four jumped on their horses and fled deeper into the woods.

The Liao army chased after them with knives, and Duguyun broke a branch, swept and swept down the three people. Duguyun turned his horse's head and ran into the woods. The Liao army pursued with the army. Along the way, Duguyun took advantage of the woods to stealth and knocked down dozens of people. and captured a person, Duguyun had heard this person speak Chinese on the way, so he deliberately captured him. Duguyun pointed several people to the acupoints and made them unable to move. Then take aside the man who speaks Chinese. The man's legs were already sore from fright. kept kowtowing to Duguyun and begging for mercy.

Dugu Yun said: "How can you speak Chinese?" The man said: "Back to Daxia, I have been to the Central Plains and lived for a while. Dugu Yun said: "Oh, then why did you join the Liao army again?" The man said: "A few years ago, the Liao and Song alliances, my Liao people could enter and leave the Song realm, until last year, the Song people suddenly allied with the Jin State, which made many of us Liao people unable to stay in the Song State, returned to the Liao State, and were arrested and charged the army this year." I beg the hero to spare his life, let me go, I still have a wife, children and the elderly at home to take care of!"

Dugu Yun said: "It's not impossible to spare you, I'll ask you a few words, if you tell the truth, then I'll let you go." The man said: "Hero, if you ask, as long as I know, I will definitely tell you, and I will never dare to hide half a sentence." Dugu Yun said: "Why did your Liao army appear here, this is the capital of the Jin Kingdom?"

The man said, "Yes, this is Shangjing." Since the Liao general vanguard was stabbed to death by several Han people last year, my Great Liao fought with the Jin State several times, and it was very defeated, and a few large cities were lost. Our Liao Emperor was furious, so he gathered 100,000 troops to fight back. This didn't go all the way, it hit Shangjing. Dugu Yun said: "So, there are 100,000 troops stationed outside the city?"

The man: "Exactly." Wang Ziyan hurriedly asked, "So, have you ever attacked the city?" The man said: "We have been besieging the city for a few days, but the Jin Kingdom has been closed, and so far, we have not attacked the city." However, in our Liao army, we once heard the main general General Xiao say that the emperor of the Jin State was critically ill, and it was the time for us to take the Jin State with all our might. Now it seems that what General Xiao said is true, and no one in the Jin Kingdom has fought back in the past few days. ”

Dugu Yun said: "Then do you have any definite news?" The man said: "No, but General Xiao once said that if he waited until early tomorrow morning, if he could not see the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom again, then the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom would be dead, and then my Da Liao army would attack in an all-round way and destroy the Jin State in one fell swoop." When Wang Ziyan heard this, he hurriedly said, "What?

The man said: "Yes, General Xiao gave the order like this, otherwise there would not be only dozens of us chasing you." Dugu Yun thought to himself that what he said was right, if it weren't for the fact that the army was preparing to attack the city, most of us would have escaped. I couldn't help but believe him. He asked, "After your army captured the Jin Kingdom, were you preparing to attack the Great Song Dynasty?"

The man said, "I don't know. But I heard everyone talk about it. It may be that there is, the Great Liao Emperor hated the alliance between the Song State and the Jin State. (To be continued......)
