Xiao Yu loosened the hilt of his sword and looked at Wanyan Gun's twitching corpse with a solemn expression. He knew in his heart that with this sword blow, he not only avenged his brother, but also announced the official beginning of his own rebellion. From this moment on,

There is no longer any room for maneuver, so we can only keep our heads down and rush forward.

"Prime Minister Xiao has avenged your brother, and your brother can rest in peace." Fang Zian said solemnly at the side.

Xiao Yu turned his head and looked at Xiao Zuo's body, stretched out his hand to cover Xiao Zuoyuan's open eyes, and with a gentle touch, Xiao Zuo's eyes closed. Before that, Fang Zian had tried to close Xiao Zuo's eyes.

He closed it, but he just couldn't do it. Xiao Yu also tried to do this before, but failed. But now he closed it with just a touch. It can be seen that after death, there may really be a soul in the dark, and there is no resentment.

If it is destroyed, you will not be able to rest in peace. If your hatred is repaid, you will be at peace.

"Master Fang, thank you for bringing out the body of my brother, and thank you for capturing Wan Yangun, the thief. I am deeply grateful. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have known about the death of my brother. Please accept me.

Bye." At this time, Xiao Yu recovered and thanked Fang Zian and others.

Fang Zian waved his hand and said: "It's nothing, it's just a little effort. I was also shocked when I heard the news that your brother was killed. I was almost killed tonight, and Wanyan Gun was already prepared. Prime Minister Xiao, I hope you will

I understand that your big event must start immediately. Wanyangun's actions make it easy for us to conclude that Wanyanliang and Wanyangun are actually preparing to preemptively strike. Now that Wanyangun is dead, the news will soon be revealed.

Everyone knows that there will be waves soon. Prime Minister Xiao, you don’t have much time, you have to make a decision as soon as possible.”

Xiao Yu nodded slowly and said: "Of course I understand. I will launch it immediately. If I don't succeed this time, I will be a benevolent person. There is no other way out. Fortunately, I have already planned it and I can launch it immediately. Today I have to help.

Determined to win."

Fang Zian nodded and said: "Since Prime Minister Xiao knows what he knows, I won't say any more. We have fulfilled our promise, and I hope Prime Minister Xiao can also fulfill his promise. I think we will leave Yanjing tonight. Regarding the disputes within your Jin Kingdom, I

I don’t want to get involved, I can only wish Prime Minister Xiao an immediate success, and I can’t help with anything else.”

Xiao Yu nodded and said: "That's natural. I am not a person who breaks his word. You have been kind to my Xiao family today, and I will not embarrass you. Although you are from the Song Dynasty, I am from the Liao Dynasty, and I have two countries, the Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty."

This is a country of brothers, we all follow Confucianism and Taoism, and we are one family. In the future when I successfully restore Liao, you and I will still need to coexist hand in hand and live in peace. We will meet one day in the future. I will send someone to escort you out of the city.

, I hope you can return home safely. I still have a lot of things to do, so I won’t see you off.”

Fang Zian raised his hands and nodded: "Prime Minister Xiao is admirable. In this way, Fang Zian, on behalf of Mr. Shi and my Song Dynasty envoy, left here. Well... Prime Minister Xiao is sure not to let your family members come with me.

Leaving the city for temporary refuge? I have no other intention, I just hope that I can help Prime Minister Xiao relieve his worries and finally help Prime Minister Xiao."

Xiao Yu waved his hand and said: "No need, I am absolutely sure of this big event. My family will be fine."

Fang Zian didn't want to say anything, but he couldn't help but ask: "Is Prime Minister Xiao so confident? Prime Minister Xiao has all the soldiers and horses in the city under his control?"

Xiao Yu said in a deep voice: "I might as well tell you clearly that the defense forces in the city are so powerful.

The three armies of Wu Shence are all my people. There are more than 50,000 soldiers and horses in Yanjing City, and I control 30,000. The 5,000 city defense troops are also my people. As long as the city gate is blocked, I will have the advantage in the city. Furthermore, I

There are also strong reinforcements. There are 100,000 troops stationed outside the city, 30,000 of which are under the command of the Northwest Recruitment Envoy. Today I have spent half a day convincing the Northwest Recruitment Envoy that Xiao Huaizhong, the deputy privy envoy, will be used by me. I will order you later.

When we open the north gate, Xiao Huaizhong will lead the 30,000 northwest troops into the city. In this way, the number of troops and horses in my city will be three times that of Wan Yanliang. How can Wan Yanliang fight with me? Great things will happen."

Fang Zian silently recited Xiao Huaizhong's name several times and muttered: "Prime Minister Xiao, please forgive me for saying a few more words. You already have the advantage in the city's soldiers and horses. Thirty thousand soldiers and horses plus five thousand city defense troops are facing the opponent's 20,000 people. In fact,

It's enough. In this case, there is no need for the troops outside the city to intervene. You only need to launch a thunderous force, capture the palace, capture Wan Yanliang, declare his crime, and kill him. Then Jurchen

All the nobles and royal families can be arrested, and a new emperor can be restored to the Liao Dynasty. After that, the facts are settled, and those who are not loyal can be eradicated. There is no need to let in the soldiers and horses outside the city. Especially this person named Xiao Huaizhong, Prime Minister Xiao is sure that he

Is he loyal to you? From what you said, it seems that you persuaded him to help you just today. In other words, Prime Minister Xiao is actually not sure whether he is? If he is not sure, he will become a catfish in the fish pond. The situation

Instead, it becomes chaotic and increases variables."

Xiao Yu frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "Xiao Huaizhong is also from the Xi tribe, and he and I are of the same clan. Although he doesn't have much contact with me, and he is very cautious, he is still a decent person. I have done it with him before.

Yan Gun had some disputes, but Xiao Huaizhong still said something for me in front of Wan Yanliang. This time he came from Xijing to Yanjing to meet me. Although he refused to express his position at first today, he was eventually

I was moved by my great righteousness. I promised him to serve as the Privy Councilor of the Southern Privy Council and the commander-in-chief of the soldiers and horses in the border town. He was very happy. I have always been very accurate in judging people, and I still trust Xiao Huaizhong. Besides, even if

The soldiers and horses in Yanjing City have the upper hand, and Wan Yanliang's power is still there. To ensure nothing is lost, I must quickly control the situation. If the stalemate persists and the news leaks out, the soldiers and horses outside the city will attack the city, which will be troublesome.

"

Fang Zian muttered: "Prime Minister Xiao, to do great things, you must eliminate all interfering factors. If there are too many variables, changes will inevitably occur. This is called Murphy's Law. Well, you don't know what Murphy's Law is. I'm afraid I'm too talkative. I

The reason why I say these few words is actually because I hope you can succeed. This is entirely out of personal emotions and not for any purpose. I hope you can understand. This Xiao Huaizhong... I don't understand either. I listen to your words.

, it seems that you don’t know much about him. I believe you when you say that he was moved by your righteousness. But you also said that he was very happy to be granted the position of Privy Councilor of Nanan Privy Council, which I don’t understand. His current position is

He is the Deputy Privy Envoy of the Kingdom of Jin and the Northwest Recruitment Envoy. His power and status are no less than the position you promised. Why should he be happy? In short, reducing variables is the key to achieving a great event. In this major event,

The last thing you need is an untrustworthy force that can influence the situation. Having said that, Prime Minister Xiao, you can make your own decision. Time is tight, and I will not waste Prime Minister Xiao's time. I will go back to the mission station to clean up, Prime Minister Xiao.

Tell me where I can leave the city."

Xiao Yu nodded and said: "Okay, you go back and clean up. I will ask my brother-in-law Yelu Bili to escort you out of the city. The four city gates

They are all guarded by my city defense troops, you decide where to leave the city."

Fang Zian said: "Let's go to the west gate. After leaving the city, we will go to the west mountain to hide our whereabouts."

Xiao Yu said: "Yes, but I must tell you that the Shenyou Army, the brave army outside the city in the west, is led by Wan Yanliang. I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to escape. I can only send you out of the city, and I will no longer have time to take care of you. , you wish yourselves good luck."

Fang Zian cupped his hands and said: "Understood, let's go to the west gate. Even if we go out of other city gates, we can't escape. We can only give it a try. At least I know what we are facing. Prime Minister Xiao, you are asking for your blessings." Come on, let’s say goodbye to each other!”

Fang Zian walked out of the hall, and Feng Yiming and Shen Ling'er left quickly. Xiao Yu stood at the door and watched Fang Zian and others disappear into the darkness, then turned around and looked at Xiao Zuo's body lying on the table. , the eye circles were red again. But soon, he calmed down his emotions and his eyes became sharp.

"Xiao Zhaozhe, notify everyone immediately and mobilize troops to prepare for action. Tell Yelulang to guard the four gates strictly. From now on, no one is allowed to enter or exit the city gates unless ordered by me. Inform Xiao Tu, the commander-in-chief of Shenwei Shenwu Shence and Xiao Xi Yelu The two of them came to the Prime Minister's Mansion to receive the order. After that, you go out of the city in person to see Xiao Huaizhong and ask him to lead the army into the city and help me." Xiao Yu shouted in a deep voice.

Xiao Zhaozhen bowed and responded: "As you command!"

Xiao Zhaozhe strode out of the hall and left with the order. Xiao Yu stood at the door of the hall with his hands behind his hands, looking at the dark sky in a daze. After a moment, he whispered to himself: "When tomorrow dawns, let's just say it will be a sunny day. "

…

Fang Zian and the others hurried back to their residence. The residences were not far from the Prime Minister's Mansion, so they arrived quickly. As soon as they entered the door, they saw a large number of fire fighters gathering in the yard. Zhao Gang and Lei Hu were shouting orders to assemble the team.

Seeing Fang Zian and Feng Yiming coming back, they came forward in surprise. Lei Hu said loudly: "Sir, you are back. We thought something had happened, and we were gathering our brothers to save you."

Zhao Gang also said: "Yes, we are all anxious to death. Mr. Shi was so anxious that he ordered us to gather for rescue. Sir, did you succeed? Did you kill Wanyan Gun?"

Fang Zian wanted to scold Zhao Gang and Lei Hu for disobeying his orders and preparing to act rashly, but when he heard that it was Shi Hao's order, he took back his scolding words.

"Wanyan Gun has been killed. Xiao Yu will start a rebellion tonight, and the city will be in chaos soon. Xiao Yu has promised to send us out of the city. Zhao Gang Leihu listened to the order and immediately rectified the carriages and horses and brought more food and water. , and leave the city in half an hour. From now on, no questions are allowed, and you should move quickly. If you neglect and delay, military law will be engaged. I will go see Mr. Shi, and you should prepare quickly."

After Fang Zian said that, he took Shen Ling'er and went straight to the back house to see Shi Hao.

Zhao Gang and Lei Hu were shocked. Seeing Feng Yiming standing in the yard, they hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Brother Feng, did you really kill Wanyan Gun? How did you do it? Are we leaving now?"

Feng Yiming said coldly: "Two generals, don't you listen to Master Fang? Why are you asking here and there? Why haven't you packed up your carriages and horses, loaded up grain and goods, and left? What are you waiting for? There will be chaos in the city, and there will be chaos. , we won’t be able to get out.”
