Chapter 22: The tongue-splitting Pearl Lotus talks about the Lord of Liao, turning back and seizing Song City with one strike (2)
Three days later, the scorching sun was in the sky, scorching the earth and scorching Fu Zhaoxin's heart.
Fu Zhaoxin was sitting in the study at the moment, holding the letter sent by Yun Zixiao on the horse. The expression on his face was unclear whether he was happy or worried, "Yun Zixiao, my uncle planned to get rid of you with the help of the Liao Kingdom, but he didn't
To think that it was so self-defeating that you accomplished such a great feat, it seems that my uncle underestimated you before!"
While he was talking to himself, his eyes fell on the letter written by the queen, and he sighed heavily, "Oh, if I let Yun Zixiao return to Daming Mansion alive, how should I explain to the officials and my sister?
!”
Fu Zhaoxin stood up in deep thought, looked back at the map hanging on the wall of the study room, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Yes! The biggest victim of the Song-Liao peace talks was the Han Dynasty, why don't I send someone to pretend to be a Han soldier, in Yun
Before Zixiao returns to Daming Mansion, kill him on the way! But who should be sent..."
At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door. Hearing the sound, Fu Zhaoxin asked hurriedly and alertly: "Who is it? Why do you want to see my uncle?"
"Brother-in-law, it's me." The voice was hearty and a little uninhibited. It was Yu Wen Yanyi. Before Fu Zhaoxin could open the door, Yu Wen Yanyi had already opened the door and walked in.
Fu Zhaoxin looked at Yu Wen Yanyi, and couldn't help but think about it, thinking, "Brother, although you are both civil and military, you are a rare talent, but the limelight is too great. Now the civil and military officials of the Song Dynasty, and the common people of Li, mention the border.
Whoever doesn’t give you a thumbs up remembers me, who is the one in the north. Although my father likes you and the officials think highly of you, so what! If you don’t die, I’m afraid I, Fu Zhaoxin, will never be able to get ahead in my life!
Why don't I send you to kill Yun Zixiao? He is now the hero of the peace negotiation. Once he dies, the world will think you are narrow-minded and want to kill Zhongliang, and the Eight Kings will never spare you. If you don't kill Yun Zixiao, then
I will report this matter to Long Live, so that you can’t live without it!”
When Yu Wen Yanyi saw that Fu Zhaoxin was silent for a long time, he already guessed that it was nine out of ten. With a proud smile on his face, he deliberately asked: "Sister-in-law, what are you thinking about?"
Only then did Fu Zhaoxin come back to his senses, and smiled in confusion, fearing that Yu Wen Yanyi would notice the clues, "Hahaha, it's nothing! I'm just happy to think that the peace talks between Song and Liao were successful, and there won't be another war at the border for a while!"
Yuwen Yanyi shook his head and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Why do you need to hide it from me, sworn brother? A few days ago, the Eighth Prince came to Daming Mansion in the name of rewarding the army. Presumably, in addition to rewarding the army and visiting his cousin, he also did other things
Are you willing to do it?"
Fu Zhaoxin was startled when he heard this, and whispered warily: "I am the only one who has read the Queen's letter. How could you know about this?"
Yuwen Yanyi knocked on his temple and said with a smile: "Of course it's here!"
Fu Zhaoxin nodded, "Well, you and I are a family, so I won't hide it from you, but if you dare to leak the news, be careful what you get!"
Yuwen Yanyi said disapprovingly: "Since the day I joined the army, I have never thought about dying in peace, so why would my sworn brother scare me with a head on my neck? But please rest assured, sworn brother, no matter what kind of secret, I will keep it secret.
!”
"That's good." Fu Zhaoxin pointed to the family letter and said very solemnly: "This is the family letter that the Eight Kings brought when they rewarded the army. The family letter is sealed by the queen. He must not know the content. The book says that the official family is interested.
Let me get rid of the thief Hou Yun Zixiao as soon as possible to prevent future troubles. I sent him to negotiate peace this time just because I wanted to borrow a knife to kill people. I didn't expect that he could escape unscathed in the court of Liao Kingdom. He must be the thief Yun Yimo.
His soul is protecting his body! So we must never let him return to Daming Mansion alive!"
Yuwen Yanyi seemed to be shocked, and his face turned a little pale, "What? My sworn brother wants to kill Yun Zixiao! He is a hero of the Song Dynasty, and he is the thousand-year-old cousin of the Eight Kings. If you kill him, I'm afraid..."
Fu Zhaoxin said helplessly: "This is an order from Long Live. Who dares to resist it? Even if this move will definitely annoy the eight kings, for the sake of the official family and the great Song Dynasty, I will not hesitate to do it, my sworn brother!"
Yuwen Yanyi said worriedly: "Yun Zixiao is a man of literary and military skills. He is bold and cautious. It is not easy to kill him. This matter is of great importance. I wonder who my sworn brother wants to send? I would like to give you a warning.
, This person’s literary and military skills must be above Yun Zixiao’s, and he must be very familiar with local affairs, otherwise not only will he not be able to kill Yun Zixiao, but he will also throw stones at his feet!”
A slight sneer appeared at the corner of Fu Zhaoxin's mouth, which made people shudder. He walked up to Yu Wen Yanyi, patted him gently on the shoulder, and whispered in his ear: "Brother, isn't the most suitable candidate for you?
You?"
Yu Wen Yanyi was so frightened that his legs became weak and he almost fell to the ground, "Yi...Yi brother, do you want to kill my little brother? Although my little brother has experienced hundreds of battles and has never met an opponent in his life, the Eight Kings' golden trump card is not the same.
Vegetarian, if you are not careful..."
Fu Zhaoxin laughed and said: "Brother, I am not harming you. I am clearly giving you the opportunity to make meritorious deeds. If you can really accomplish this, the officials will never treat you badly!"
Yu Wen Yanyi shook his head vigorously again, "Sister-in-law, although the officials will not treat me badly, I still have to accept the courtesy of the officials. If I lose my life because of this, wouldn't everything be lost?
Empty talk!”
Fu Zhaoxin said: "Don't worry, I will go to Rongcheng in person in the name of picking up Yun Zixiao. If anything happens to my righteous brother, I will take full responsibility for it!" After saying that, he opened the door and walked straight away. Yuwen
Yanyi looked at Fu Zhaoxin's retreating back, gritting his steel teeth while secretly feeling happy...
The next day, Yun Zixiao and his two followers left the Liao Kingdom and returned to Daming Mansion. They were familiar with the road along the way. In two or three days, they arrived at the Kuma River at the junction of the two countries. The three of them crossed the river and traveled another hundred miles.
A mountain peak that is not too high appears in front of you.
The older attendant said: "Master Yun, Rongcheng County is not far away. After leaving the city and walking a few dozen miles, we will be back to Daming Mansion!"
The younger entourage said in admiration: "Master Yun, I see that you are usually very taciturn, but I didn't expect you to be so eloquent! If you hadn't been here, not to mention the peace talks with the Lord of Liao, we would have just disembarked from the ship.
I have to run back to Daming Mansion in despair!"
Yun Zixiao didn't seem to hear the compliments from his entourage. He was still looking at the mountain peak not far away. Although he was thoughtful, the expression on his face was still calm. Suddenly, the peaceful atmosphere was interrupted by a burst of gongs and drums.
Then the sound of people shouting and horses neighing came from the foot of the mountain, as if a large army descended from the sky, instantly breaking the silence between heaven and earth.
When the two followers heard this, their faces turned pale, and their legs trembled involuntarily. Not to mention moving forward, they were already unable to escape. They looked at Yun Zixiao nervously, and stammered: "
Yun...Master Yun, what...what is going on?"
Yun Zixiao was still calm and composed at this moment, as if everything was already under his control. He heard the two people asking him, but without answering, he pulled out the sword from his waist. At this time, there was murderous intent in his eyes.
But the sword in his hand weighed as much as a thousand pounds, and he couldn't lift it no matter what.
At this time, a group of men and horses approached from behind the mountain. Everyone in the team had bright helmets and were extremely brave. They had a murderous aura without having to draw their weapons. They were dressed in Northern Han military uniforms and carrying the flag of Northern Han Dynasty.
, but the leader was surprisingly the famous Song Dynasty general Yuwen Yanyi!
When the two attendants saw that General Yuwen was actually using the banner of the Northern Han Dynasty, they were all stunned, "Yu... General Yuwen, you... this is..."
Yu Wen Yanyi looked at the two followers who were stammering even when they spoke, and a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He actually slowly took out a white-painted birch bow from behind and skillfully put it on
Two sharp arrows.
"Whoosh!" Two sharp arrows were shot out at the same time. The sharp arrows emitted a cold light in the air, as bright as a shooting star, and as short-lived as a shooting star. As the cold light disappeared, two bloody lights appeared simultaneously. The two followers never stopped.
He stared at Yu Wen Yanyi in disbelief, and then moved his gaze to the sharp arrow that penetrated his throat. He fell to the ground in confusion, and the blood instantly dyed the ground red.
I am afraid that anyone would be surprised, puzzled, and surprised by this situation, but Yun Zixiao seemed to think that this was normal, as if everything in front of him was within his expectation. But after all, he couldn't bear to shut up.
He closed his eyes and sighed softly: "General Yuwen, they are just following along, so why bother?"
Yu Wen Yanyi slowly put away his bow and said with extreme indifference: "If you want to achieve great things, you must not have the heart of a woman. All those who may affect our plans must not be alive!" His voice was very cold and his tone was very soft, as if
Their lives were nothing but trivial matters in his eyes.
Yun Zixiao nodded slightly, not knowing whether he was persuaded by him or whether he was compromising to protect himself. After a long time, he asked: "General Yuwen, is everything in our plan?"
Yu Wen Yanyi said with a smile: "Secretary Yun's clever plan, Fu Zhaoxin's fellow was indeed fooled, and I have tricked him into Rongcheng. Everything can be done according to the plan."
Yun Zixiao said: "Okay, act according to the plan."
Yuwen Yanyi laughed loudly when he heard this, "Hahaha, I was worried that Secretary Yun wouldn't be ruthless, but I didn't expect that you and I are indeed the same people!" He said and returned the Liuyun Sword to Yun Zixiao, "Return the sword to me.
You, general, will return to Rongcheng according to the plan, and the rest is up to your friend!"
Yun Zixiao was slightly startled when he heard the words. He thought everything was within his plan, but he never understood the meaning of Yuwen Yanyi's words. When he was confused, a white horse came to him.
Immediately sitting there was a young man, wearing a white helmet and white armor, holding a spear. His facial features turned out to be Mo Feigong, whom he had met once and had a drink with in Yuhua Tower.
When Mo Feigong saw Yun Zixiao, a smile appeared on his lips as if he had reunited after a long absence, "Master Yun, how are you after not seeing him for a long time?"
When Yun Zixiao saw that it was Mo Feigong, his heart suddenly jumped up and down. He didn't know whether he should hang on or let go. Presumably, the people brought by Yu Wen Yanyi must be his confidants, and they would never leak the news. And Mo
Fei Gong has only a one-sided relationship with him. Although it is not difficult to predict his enemies and friends, it is definitely difficult to tell his heart. Therefore, if there are variables in this game, it will definitely fall on him.
Mo Feigong saw that Yun Zixiao was silent for a long time, thinking that he had forgotten about him, so he had to introduce him: "Master Yun, I am Mo Feigong, I had a chance encounter with you a few days ago, do you still remember?"
After hearing this, Yun Zixiao came back to his senses and pretended to suddenly realize: "Oh, it turns out to be brother Mo Xian, no wonder he looks so familiar. Brother Yu has been thinking about the peace talks between Song and Liao these past few days, and he has actually forgotten about you. Seriously?"
Sin, sin, sin! I wonder why my dear brother is here?"
Mo Feigong said nonchalantly: "Brother Yun, just find a secluded place and wait for a while. After the big plan is completed, we can talk again!" He said and waved the weird weapon in his hand.
In lieu of military orders, he led the army and marched quickly towards Rongcheng.
The sun was shining obliquely on Rongcheng at this moment, and the entire city tower was coated with a golden light. Fu Zhaoxin led a group of soldiers to the top of the city in high spirits, constantly looking into the distance. These soldiers all looked happy, looking forward to Yun
Zixiao returned in triumph so that he could have a celebratory drink, but what Fu Zhaoxin was waiting for was Yun Zixiao's head!
A moment later, a general suddenly appeared in the distance with a dozen soldiers in a panic. They rushed towards Rongcheng in a panic, and kept looking back behind them, like a group of stragglers who had just lost a battle.
.
Everyone on the city was at a loss when they saw this. They couldn't figure out what was going on. They were all stunned. As the team got closer and closer, the people on the city gradually saw this clearly.
From the appearance of the group, I saw that this group of skirmishers were all wearing Northern Han military uniforms and under the banner of the Northern Han Dynasty. The leader was wearing a robe and a loose robe. He turned out to be Yuwen Yanyi, the border guard of the Song Dynasty. Everyone was in an uproar when they saw this.
There was a lot of discussion immediately.
"No wonder I haven't seen General Yuwen in the past two days. It turns out he led his troops to rebel!"
"Impossible! If you really rebelled, why would you lead troops back to Rongcheng?"
"No, General Yuwen may have gone crazy!"
