Chapter 80 The Great Song Envoy
Chapter 80: The Song Dynasty Envoy
The capital of Liao Kingdom was built more than a hundred years ago. It was established here by the first emperor of Liao Kingdom Yelu Abaoji. He named the city "Imperial Capital", which is really a vulgar name.
Later, his son Emperor Taizong of Liao changed the name of this city and called it "Shangjing Linhuangfu". Since then, the Liao Kingdom has been Shangjing, and all the Liao emperors of all dynasties have established their capital here, and Youzhou Yanjing was just one of the accompanying capitals.
At this time, the capital of Liao Kingdom had a total population of more than 100,000 people, which was simply impossible to make a fool of yourself than a big city like Kaifeng. However, it was also the most premier metropolis within Liao Kingdom.
Luo Dacheng knew that the future was dangerous, so he did not dare to bring Di Liniang into the city, for fear that something would happen in Shangjing. When the Liao people locked down the city, he still had hope of escaping from the city. Taking Di Liniang with him would be too dangerous.
Therefore, he could only leave Di Liniang outside the city and paid a generous reward to a herdsman family, allowing Di Liniang to live in the herdsman's home. In order to prevent accidents, he stayed in the wild all night, sneaked into the herdsman's home to search at night, but never saw any abnormal reaction. Then he felt relieved and warned Di Liniang to be careful, riding alone and heading towards the capital of the Liao Dynasty.
Standing under the capital, looking at the tall city, Luo Dacheng secretly estimated how great the chance of attacking this city with an army would be to capture the city.
Just in terms of this city defense, it is far worse than that of Tokyo Bianliang. The city is high and thick, and the walls are far less than that of the capital of the Song Dynasty.
However, the Liao cavalry had strong combat power. As long as they went to Beijing to resist the first attack of the enemy, a king-supporting army would soon come from all over the country. It would not take long to accumulate hundreds of thousands of strong soldiers, and the battle situation would likely be reversed.
Therefore, unless the surprise attack in the shortest time attack was taken to the city, Luo Dacheng sighed secretly, but unfortunately he did not have a large army in his hands. Otherwise, he might not have been able to succeed in one strike and erase all the political and military centers of the brutal Liao Kingdom from the territory, so as to eliminate this great trouble for the Han people in the world.
At the city gate, there were many Liao soldiers guarding the city gate. They did not deliberately check the passers-by. At the city gate, countless people were bustling through the city gate, and their clothes were different. Most of them were Khitan clothing, as well as Han or other tribes.
Because it was the capital of the Emperor of the Great Liao Dynasty, the people here dressed more brightly than the people elsewhere. Obviously, their lives were better than those of the Liao people in remote areas.
Luo Dacheng rode his horse slowly into the city gate, looking at the clothes and dresses of the people of all ethnic groups around him. He finally felt a little curious.
Suddenly, he looked up and saw a Mongolian beauty coming towards him, which made him look wide in surprise.
The woman was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a beautiful appearance and a bit wild like a grassland child. She had a wild look in her eyes, and her clothes were like the Mongolian clothes that Luo Dacheng had seen in his previous era. Although they were not exactly the same, they were also very similar.
She rode on a horse, walked towards Luo Dacheng and passed by. Seeing Luo Dacheng staring at him with wide eyes and looking very rude, she couldn't help but feel a little angry and glared at him fiercely. Suddenly, she looked astonished in her eyes, and she grabbed Luo Dacheng's arm with her hand.
Luo Dacheng quickly shrank his hand and stalked his horse to one side, but the woman refused to give up. She chased after him and grabbed his left arm, shouting: "Where did your copper ring come from?"
The voice was crisp, but it was the language of the Bu people. When Luo Dacheng was on the battlefield, he occasionally learned some from the Bu people who were killed by him. Therefore, he could barely understand it.
Luo Dacheng didn't want to show his skills here. Seeing that the woman seemed to have no malice, she did not try to dodge. Hearing her say this, she lowered her head and looked at the copper ring wrapped around her index finger in her left hand. Then she realized that the woman had just come to talk to her when she saw the copper ring on her hand.
His mind flickered, and immediately guessed the origin of the woman. After pondering, he made up a set of words: "This spring, when I was in Yunzhou, I saw a few people chasing one person. I went to drive away those people. I saw that the man was seriously injured. When I was dying, I gave me this copper ring and asked me to send it to his relatives if I had the chance to meet the people of Xizhubu Trelie's tribe. Why, do you know this copper ring?"
The girl didn't answer, but just grabbed his left hand tightly, stroked the strange patterns on the copper ring with slender fingers. Crystal tears were already filled with eyes, and her face was filled with sadness, and she was almost shedding tears.
Gripping his teeth tightly, the girl said in a stern voice: "Is that person called Tuodu? He is my biological brother! Who are the people who are chasing him?"
Luo Dacheng nodded and looked back at the Liao soldiers guarding the city gate, but said nothing.
The girl knew it, her face turned pale, she glared at the Liao soldiers, her pretty face was full of grief, anger and resentment, and her bright red lips were bitten by her snow-white teeth and bleeding.
Luo Dacheng sighed, reached out and removed the thick copper ring on his hand, handed it to the girl, and sighed, "Since you are Tuodu's sister, you can take it with him, and forget about my concern."
The girl held back her tears and wanted to pay the money, but Luo Dacheng refused. She had to bow to him immediately and said in a stern voice: "If you come to Zubu in the future, you will say that you are a friend of Telibu Tudu and Meng Yilan. Zubu people will treat you well!"
After saying that, the girl beat a horse and whipped it away.
Looking at her graceful and seductive figure, Luo Dacheng sighed secretly, and the real scene of Tuo and Tuo meeting him, but he returned to his mind.
That day, when the sound of gold sounded, he had just pulled out a sharp blade from the belly of an enemy cannon fodder soldier, but was stopped by the handsome man in a faint voice and said:
"Hero, I don't blame you for killing me... I just ask you to remove the copper ring in my hand. If you have the chance in the future, if you see the Xizubtrei tribe, please give the copper ring to him, and then say that the son of Lebihu has already returned to God's soul!"
At that time, Luo Dacheng could only sigh, remove the copper ring from his hand, and put it on himself. Although the copper ring is not worth much, the pattern on it is very strange, probably something like amulets used to seek blessings.
The man was obviously a strong man captured by the Liao people from Zubu and sent to the battlefield to die. Because he rebelled against the Liao Kingdom and fought against the Liao Kingdom, countless people were arrested from Zubu and used as cannon fodder soldiers. Even Luo Dacheng killed dozens or hundreds of Zubu people on the battlefield.
I thought there would be no intersection with the Tudu tribe, but now, he saw her sister with his own eyes, but she was such a beautiful Mongolian girl. It is said that the Shubu people were the ancestors of the Mongolians. Judging from her clothing, this is probably true.
Luo Dacheng shook his head and smiled bitterly. He rode forward, marching on the road of Shangjing City, towards the inn where the Song envoy lived.
...
Because they had to send people to Liao Kingdom for envoys every year, the officials of the Song Dynasty simply bought a house in Shangjing so that the envoys could come here and have a place to live.
The years of operation have made this embassy look very much. Although it is not possible to keep guards, from the outside, it looks like an official.
Several envoys from the Song Dynasty sat in the hall and chatted when they had nothing to do that day.
These four envoys were ordered by the emperor to go to the Liao Kingdom. Shi Zhongli and Shi Yisun came to celebrate the Qianling Day, Wang Bowen and Wang Shuang came to celebrate the Shuntian Day. In fact, it was the birthday of Emperor Liao and the Queen. It was ordered by the Liao Emperor to be two festivals. Every year, the envoys of the Song Dynasty came to congratulate. This time, it was their turn to go to the Liao Kingdom. In order not to delay their birthday, they had to set off in advance, arrive in Shangjing as soon as possible, and then wait patiently for the arrival of the Qianling Day.
Next to him, there were several military officers, all of whom were accompanying attendants. One of them had a fair face and a slightly vicious look. His right hand was often huddled in his sleeve and did not take it out. He only held a teacup with his left hand. When chatting with several envoys and military officers, he was calm and calm, but he often looked depressed.
Suddenly, a noise came from the front of the door. Several envoys looked at each other and were about to send someone to see, suddenly a gust of wind surged. A person suddenly appeared in front of the hall. He pressed the hilt of the knife at his waist and glared at the white military officer. He said with hatred: "Hello Pang Ke! Even if you hide in the sky, I will chase you here and take your life!"
Pang Kexing's expression changed drastically, he jumped up immediately, knocked over the teacup in his hand, fell to the ground, made a loud clang, raised his right hand, pointed at Luo Dacheng and shouted: "So it's you, the thief, the army!"
His right hand stretched out from his sleeve and pointed tremblingly at Luo Dacheng's face. Although he habitually bent his four fingers and wanted to point him with his index finger, unfortunately, he had only the remaining roots left in the middle fingers. He used this bare residual root to point to someone, which looked ridiculous.
Although he was full of anger, Luo Dacheng couldn't help but twitch his face when he saw Pang Kexing's ridiculous appearance and said angrily: "Pang Kexing! Don't think that if you don't have two fingers, I will not recognize you. Even if you cut off your limbs, I will still recognize you!"
Pang Kexing's face turned red in an instant. He quickly withdrew his right hand and hid it in his sleeve. He was furious and embarrassed, and shouted out loud: "Come here, kill this thief's army!"
Turning back, he shouted to the envoys: "This thief is named Luo Dacheng, the thief mentioned in the emergency report the day before yesterday! He is unforgivable to assassinate the emperor and the queen mother!"
Several envoys stood up in surprise. Shi Zhongli, who was in charge, took a step forward and shouted in surprise: "You are Luo Dacheng? I didn't expect that you really fled to Shangjing, Liao Kingdom, but you were looking for General Pang to do what you did?"
The fast horse sent him to the land the day before yesterday was reported. Although he had never mentioned the embarrassment of Luo Dacheng holding Empress Dowager Liu hostage, it also pointed out that the thief had planned to assassinate the Empress Dowager and the emperor might flee to the Liao Kingdom, so that they could be careful and pay attention to the precautions. If there is any news, they should immediately return it.
Luo Dacheng snorted coldly, knowing that Empress Dowager Liu was walking with him and finding out his background, it was not surprising. As long as Di Li's family affairs were not known, the Song Dynasty court would not know about it.
He didn't want to say much to these envoys. He whispered, drew his sword in his hand, raised the tip of the knife diagonally, pointed at Pang Kexing and shouted angrily: "Pang Kexing! You are hurting my brother, today is the time for you to give me the title!"
Pang Kexing roared angrily: "Nonsense! You obviously committed a heinous crime, but you still dare to come to your door. Do you want to escape today? "
His trembling right hand pulled out the sword from his waist with force. With a loud clanging sound, the sword light was like water, pointing directly to Luo Dacheng's face. Although he lacked two fingers and was unable to grasp the hilt of the sword, it did not prevent Pang Kexing's anger from burning.
In the lobby, a pair of military generals from Yangwuzhai stared at each other with their blades and murderous aura. They instantly covered the entire hall, shocking the envoys to their faces gradually pale.
Thinking of the tragic situation of his brother before his death, Luo Dacheng felt sad and angry, and suddenly roared, his body shot forward, raised his steel knife and slashed hard at Pang Kexing's head!
Pang Kexing roared and raised his sword to meet him. His body retreated quickly, but was snatched by Luo Dacheng's extremely fast sword before the sword arrived. It was lightning-like slashed on his left shoulder. The protective energy suddenly rose and was scattered by the blazing sword. With a snap, the sharp blade slashed directly on Pang Kexing's left shoulder, and it was instantly cut into two inches, shattering the bones on the spot, and it was still slashing downwards, as if it was about to split him in half.
A short and fat figure suddenly jumped out, rushed to Luo Dacheng, and quickly slapped him. The yellow-colored energy accumulated on his palm, and it hit the blade hard, instantly hitting the blade, almost avoiding the tragic disaster of Pang Kexing being split into two halves.
When the blade was pulled out from Pangkexing's shoulder, blood shot out. From the crack, it could be seen that the broken bones were pale and were dyed red by blood.
Staring at Luo Dacheng, the Taoist Dilong said in a deep voice: "You are still far from killing my disciple!" Then he slapped Luo Dacheng's chest with a palm.
Pang Kexing screamed, covered his shoulders and retreated, and shouted loudly: "Master! I cut this thief for me and sent him to the capital. The Queen Mother will be rewarded!"
Luo Dacheng was furious and jumped back away from the Earth Dragon Taoist's earth flesh palm, then waved his sword and fought fiercely with him.
The two people in the hall were covered with qi. With the sound of fury and howling, the flesh palms and steel swords were waving all over the sky, and they rushed towards each other like lightning. When the qi rolled up and burst into full force, they all hit the four envoys of the Song Dynasty and other generals holding swords in their hands, and could only retreat step by step, not daring to approach the two people in the fierce battle.
Seeing that Pang Kexing, who had been bandaged from the left shoulder wound not far away, was retreating step by step, as if he was about to escape again, Luo Dacheng was furious and shouted suddenly. The long sword swung rapidly, turning into a cold light, rolling towards the Earth Dragon Taoist. At the edge of the blade, the sword suddenly rose and slashed the left rib of the Earth Dragon Taoist, and instantly cracked the Earth Dragon Taoist's body and blood burst out.
