Pull the bow, nock the arrow, and with a whoosh, the arrow shoots out from the string, and goes straight a hundred steps away. With a soft ding sound, the copper coin hanging on a thread is shot in the middle, high.

It floated up, stirred back and forth several times, and was still trembling.

In the courtyard, several other people wearing brocade clothes, hanging quivers, and carrying iron bows all looked at each other, looked at each other, and shook their heads slowly.

The sound of tinkling sounded continuously, and the feather arrows flew out one after another. The copper coin was shot one after another, and everyone in the yard was even more eclipsed. Some of them asked themselves whether they could barely do it while they were still standing still.

, but at this moment, after being hit, the copper coins were swinging randomly in the air without any pattern, and the ugly man holding the bow was still able to hit them one by one. His archery skills were really incredible.

The sound of gentle applause came, and everyone turned around, and saw a woman all in white, accompanied by two maids, slowly coming, standing in the corridor, looking at everyone, her hands were gently

Light applause.

Wearing white clothes with a hemp rope tied around his waist, he was the only one in the Qishui County Prince's Mansion.

Miss Xiao Chuo Xiao.

And all of them, except for the ugly man in the lead, are all the bodyguards assigned to this woman by the king.

"I've seen Miss Xiao!" Everyone bowed in unison. No one dared to be rude. Even among them, several of them were authentic Khitan people, and their elders in the family were Daliao officials. But in front of this woman, they still

It's a well-behaved one.

Xiao Chuo's origin is very mysterious, and few people in the palace know her identity.

The ugly man may have known it, but his mouth was very tight.

But it is enough to know that this woman's surname is Xiao.

The king’s concubine is also named Xiao!

In Daliao, the royal family always had the surname Yelu, while the descendants always had the surname Xiao.

Judging from the current situation, unless there are any big surprises, Prince Qishui will probably sit on the throne of the emperor for sure. But now the princess is extremely ill, and her complexion is getting worse day by day.

.

Everyone was filled with regret, but they didn't know what to say other than sighing that the princess was so unlucky.

Naturally, there were several concubines in the mansion, but none of them had the surname Xiao.

Not only was the woman in front of her surnamed Xiao, but she also came in and out of the king's study and the princess's bedroom where no one was around, which already speaks volumes.

After Prince Qishui ascended the throne, he was afraid that the throne would not escape the hands of this woman.

I just didn’t know that she was the daughter of the Xiao family.

The current princess is the only daughter in the family. I have never heard of a younger sister!

The woman waved to the ugly man. The man threw his bow to the other guards and strode over. Xiao Chuo turned around, walked to the hall on one side, and sat down.

Looking at the ugly face in front of him that was full of chaos, Xiao Chuo sighed softly.

The injuries on his face are basically all new and have just scarred. The newly grown pink flesh is slightly raised and even formed into pimples in some places, making this originally heroic face look extremely hideous.

Get scared.

These wounds were not inflicted on this ugly man by others, but were inflicted by him himself with a short knife.

His name is Qin Min.

When he dropped the dagger with blood on his face, looked at the sky and cried and laughed, the old Qin Min was already dead.

He destroyed his face just because he thought he would have no face to see his ancestors after his death, so he wanted to destroy this face so that his ancestors would not be able to recognize him even if they saw him in the Jiuyou Underworld in the future.

Because he defected to the Liao Kingdom.

He was once a sworn enemy.

He didn't change his name because he wanted to remind himself that he should never forget the hatred he carried.

The dead heads of my father and uncles were hung above the city wall of Daming Mansion.

In Bianliang City, the burning flames.

On the way to escape, each brother fell to the arrows and guns of the pursuing soldiers in order to cover him.

He vowed to get all of this back.

"Ye Lujun promised me that he can form a guard of my own. You go and choose people!" Xiao Chuo looked at Qin Min and said: "Five hundred people, how long will it take for you to turn them into a real guard?"

A strong army?"

"If they have a certain foundation, I can make them into an army within half a year, but they must be able to recruit and eliminate them continuously," Qin Min said.

"Whatever is the strongest, do whatever you want!" Xiao Chuo said: "Whether they are Khitans, Hans, or Jurchens, no matter they are good citizens who keep their peace and integrity, or criminals who commit heinous crimes, there is one thing.

You can't go looking for people in the army."

"Understood!" Qin Min nodded.

"In half a year, we will go to Beijing!" Xiao Chuo stood up and said: "The only ones who can protect me will be these five hundred people. I guess there will be no peace along the way. Some people don't want me to appear in the city.

Huang Mansion, so if they are weak, they will have no choice but to die."

"We will win!" Qin Min's eyes flashed fiercely. "In half a year, I will turn these five hundred people into five hundred ferocious beasts."

Xiao Chuo was silent for a moment and said: "In the evening, please accompany me to meet someone!"

Qin Min didn't ask who he was going to see. Seeing Xiao Chuo wave his hand, he retreated silently and walked back to the school grounds.

Deep in the palace, there is a bedroom with the four doors tightly closed. Even in broad daylight, curtains are hung in the room, and several candles as thick as a child's arm are lit in the room.

On the big bed, a woman as thin as a skeleton leaned weakly on the head of the bed, looking at a man sitting in front of him with a smile on her face.

At this moment, the man was holding a soup bowl in his hand, feeding the woman medicine one spoon at a time.

After a cough, the woman involuntarily sprayed out some soup, which splashed on the man. The man was not annoyed, put down the soup bowl, took a silk handkerchief, and gently wiped the corners of the woman's mouth.

"That Miss Xiao Sanniang is really amazing and beautiful. I am far inferior to her!" Princess Xiao Xian, who was on the hospital bed, looked at the man with a smile and said with a smile: "No wonder, my lord, you are so obsessed with getting her back."

Ye Lujun smiled slightly: "You don't know, the generalissimo was furious. I heard that he smashed several sets of priceless treasures in the mansion, and even scolded me bloody. Now in the capital, I have become a

A cold-blooded villain who forgets his true love."

Xiao Xian covered her mouth and giggled: "My father is careless and confused. Anyway, I'm not dead yet, so you brought the next princess home. Can he not be angry? As for the one who went to Beijing.

Those rumors can only mean that Ye Luxi has been messed up. Such an unflattering attack may still have some power in the Song Dynasty, but can it be used in our Daliao Dynasty?"

"At least what they said is right!" Yelujun picked up the bowl again and scooped out a spoonful of the soup.

"What a waste of such a natural and earthly treasure." Xiao Xian shook her head and said, "It's just that, my lord, are you really confident that you can subdue this girl? This is a double-edged sword. It can help you achieve success, but it may also become your confidant.

Big trouble! My lord, there is one thing you must worry about: this woman hates you!"

Yelujun didn't speak, but just chuckled.

Xiao Xian nodded: "That's right. If the prince doesn't even have this kind of self-confidence, how can he become the emperor who will dominate the world through the ages!"

"Today, I have asked Xiao Chuo to form his own guard." Yelu Jun said: "In half a year, she will go to Beijing to meet the generalissimo. I have never guessed what she will do with the matter she has taken charge of.

This method is used to convince the Generalissimo, but now the Generalissimo has turned to Yeluxi. You are always smart, can you guess what method she will use?"

Xiao Xian thought for a while and nodded: "I have roughly thought of it, but I won't tell you. Your Majesty, why is it one year later? Now that Yeluxi has united with the ministers of the North Academy to prevent you from going to Beijing, is it one year?

After that, will the prince be sure that he can go to Beijing?"

"Ye Lu Xi is going to take a risk!" Ye Lu Jun said: "At first I thought Ye Lu Xi was just playing rogue and trying to delay time, but Xiao Chuo analyzed it for me, and I think it makes sense."

"What did Xiao Chuo say?"

"Yeluxi is preparing to attack Xiao Ding personally!" Yelujun said: "Didn't you say that Shangjing has sent people to recruit Xiao Ding? The prince's position is generous enough, right? But at the same time, Yeluxi is also preparing troops, money and food.

Prepare to cooperate with the Song people to launch a fatal blow against Xiao Ding. If Xiao Ding accepts Yeluxi's surrender, this contribution will naturally be unparalleled for Daliao. If Xiao Ding refuses, he will send troops from Shangjing Road to fight with

The Song people can also defeat Xiao Ding through a joint attack, and they can also seize the northwest territory."

"This is because Yelu Huan, who is close to you, was defeated by Xiao Ding on the Xijing Road and was unable to attack Xiao Ding anymore, so he wanted to take advantage of it!" Xiao Xian shook his head slightly. "Then the prince thinks that Ye Luxi's tactics

Can it be successful?"

"How can we settle the military matter with just one word?" Yelujun said with a smile: "But if he cannot mobilize the Pishi Army, then the chance of winning this battle will be reduced by three points."

"Yeluxi himself is the deputy commander of the Pishi Army, and my father is another deputy commander, so half a year later, Xiao Chuo went to Beijing to persuade my father." Xiao Xian said: "It's a pity that half a year later, I will be gone.

, or if I go there, I’m afraid it will be more useful than her, or if I write a handwritten letter, it may be of some help!”

"Is the Generalissimo a person who can be influenced by family affection?" Yelujun shook his head and said. "If you were good, it would be a different situation. It's a pity that you will always be jealous of beauty."

Seeing Ye Lujun's sadness, Xiao Xian smiled: "This is destiny, there is nothing to regret. I have been with the prince for fifteen years, which is enough."

"Whether it is the Gong Branch Army under Yelu Xi's command or the First Subordinate Army, the combat effectiveness is far behind. Besides, I have also done some tricks over the years." Yelu Jun said with a smile: "In this battle, if the Song Army is that

If the army does not provide enough strength, Yeluxi will have more chances of suffering a big loss."

"But he really suffered a big loss, and I'm afraid he will be even more vicious towards you!"

"Small tricks can't help big things!" Yelujun disagreed: "This battle is Yeluxi's last struggle. If he wins, he will only be on par with me. If he loses, he will completely withdraw from the competition."

The door opened slightly, and a man walked up to Ye Lujun silently, bowed and whispered: "Your Majesty, Miss Xiao Chuo took Qin Min out of the palace."

Yelujun nodded: "I understand."

"Does this Miss Xiao have any acquaintances in Xijin Mansion?" Xiao Xian was a little stunned.
