016 Confession
Xiao Chongtian died in battle that year, which directly led to the disastrous defeat of the Liao army. As a result, he was at a disadvantage in the negotiations with Daxia and had to compromise and agreed to Daxia's request for double tribute every year.
This incident spread back to the Liao Kingdom, and both the main war faction and the peace faction were strongly dissatisfied with Xiao Chongtian. They believed that it was because of Xiao Chongtian's underestimation of the enemy that their losses were so heavy, and he should bear full responsibility.
. But Xiao Chongtian is dead, and there are no wives or children in the family. No matter how dissatisfied these princes and nobles are, they don’t even have an object to vent their dissatisfaction. In the end, they can only seal off Xiao Chongtian’s mansion and wipe out the mansion.
The people are waiting for the troops to be reassigned to settle the matter.
As the most capable guard around Xiao Chongtian, Xiao Liu was naturally among the reassigned personnel. Because his relationship with Xiao Chongtian was too close, he naturally became the target of criticism from some people. Those people could not cause trouble for Xiao Chongtian, so they dealt with Xiao Liu
It was still very easy. Therefore, Xiao Liu also suffered a lot and suffered a lot, and was almost tortured to death by these people. Fortunately, he was rescued by Yeluertu and escaped from death.
A life was saved.
The friendship between Xiao Chongtian and Yelvertu was average, and Yelvertu did not agree with some of Xiao Chongtian's actions. However, the two of them were related after all. For moral reasons, he could not join in with those people, nor could he turn a blind eye to such things.
.So, he went to the Military and Horse Division in person and brought Xiao Chongtian's few remaining guards, headed by Xiao Liu, to his side.
Xiao Liu believed that although the regent took him in for the sake of the generalissimo, treated his injuries, and found him a new job, he would never forget this kindness. Therefore,
When Yelvertu proposed to send him to lurk in Jiapingguan City, he agreed without saying a word. Firstly, he could repay Yelvertu for his life-saving grace and kindness of knowing him, and secondly, he could wait for the opportunity to act for him.
The marshal took revenge.
"He is a man of affection and righteousness. Xiao Chongtian is truly blessed to have a brother like you in his lifetime. But...you are affectionate, but Yelvertu may not be righteous. He also has his own purpose in saving you. Let you
To bring this bunch of guys who know nothing to come to Jiaping Pass to die, and to make you shed tears of gratitude to them, Yelu's calculation was really good."
"He is not such a person. We Liao people are all upright, not as treacherous as you Xia people!"
"Upright?"
Or do you think that methods such as assassination and assassination are also legitimate means?"
Xiao Liu remained silent. He was not as eloquent as Xue Ruitian, and he had no idea what to say to silence the other party.
Shen Haolin glanced at Xiao Liu who had his head lowered, turned around and whispered to Wei Zixin who was guarding him, asking him to take Mao San'er to the door of the execution room to see if Xiao Liu was the tall, thin and black man who went to him for help.
Clothes man.
Wei Zixin agreed and left the execution room with swift strides.
"Xiao Liu!" Shen Haolin patted Xue Ruitian on the shoulder and asked him to sit on the stool next to him. "What you told us is all nonsense and worthless in my opinion. So, I'm sorry, please save me."
If we can’t save the lives of those people outside, they will have to continue to suffer.”
Hearing the sound of whips outside and the wails coming one after another again, Xiao Liu shouted at Shen Haolin, "Shen, you don't mean what you say!"
"How could that happen?" Shen Haolin sneered, "I am a person who keeps my promises, but you are not."
"That is to say, he came here secretly to be a spy, and even did the assassination, and he actually praised himself as an upright person! Tsk, tsk, tsk, are all you Liao people like you, so shameless!" Xue Ruitian moved He bought two stools and placed them not far from Xiao Liu, pulled Shen Haolin and asked him to sit down, and then said with a smile, "You have been going around in circles with us for a long time, and you just said something." , you still blame us for not keeping our words? Xiao Liu, you are not stupid, but don’t think of us as fools. We are all smart people, it is better to open the skylight and speak frankly. "
"What do you...want to know?"
"What do you think? You asked knowingly!" Xue Ruitian raised his eyebrows, "Are you delaying time with us because you are thinking that someone will come to save you?" Seeing Xiao Liu's expression change, Xue Ruitian expressed surprise. "Oh, this is really your plan. Aren't you afraid that your companion will come and go? I would like to advise you, once you enter here, even if Yelu comes in person, the result will be the same. What's more, even if he knows that you have been Even if we catch you, we won't send anyone to rescue you. From the moment you leave Linhuang Mansion, you will be an abandoned chess piece."
"You're talking nonsense!"
"Am I talking nonsense? You know better than me. You stayed in Jiaping Pass not because of Yelu's instructions, let alone for any so-called life-saving grace. You wholeheartedly wanted to avenge Xiao Chongtian. This revenge will only last one day. You won't be willing to do anything without retribution. Yelu also saw your thoughts and sent you here." Seeing Xiao Liu trying to defend something, Xue Ruitian waved his hand and stopped him, "Those high-sounding words of yours don't matter to me. This is just bullshit, it’s better to say less. For the sake of your brothers who are suffering outside, just say what you need to say!”
Shen Haolin said nothing, staring at Xiao Liu with both eyes. In fact, he didn't care if this man couldn't speak. Liao and Jin sent Xizuo to Jiaping Pass City, and they also sent people to Liao and Jin. No one is more noble than anyone else. It’s just that Cha’er was so seriously injured because of this person. If she didn’t take something out of his mouth, Cha’er’s injury would have been in vain. It’s precisely because of this, He had only kept Xiao Liu until now, otherwise, this man would have been cut to pieces by him long ago.
"Have you thought about it? If you have thought about it, tell us who your contact person is, how and where you contacted them, and the entire process of your operation."
"...I...I have never seen the true face of the leader. Every time he meets me, he always wears a mask and a black robe, tightly wrapped from head to toe. I only know that he is very tall. He is very thin and his voice is a bit eerie. Every time we meet, he comes to see me, usually in the latter half of the night and never shows up during the day."
At this time, Wei Zixin came back. He whispered in Shen Haolin's ear, "Marshal, Mao San'er said it wasn't him."
Shen Haolin nodded. He also felt that the previous descriptions of Xiao Liu and Mao San'er were different. Moreover, Xiao Liu himself also confessed that the tall and thin man in black was their leader. However, this leader was very mysterious. Basically no one has seen his true face.
"Xiao Liu." Shen Haolin looked at him, "How long have you been in Jiaping Pass?"
"in less than a year."
"Where were you and what were you doing in the past few years?"
"Recuperate." Xiao Liu swallowed, "Those people in the Military and Horse Division have always disliked the marshal. After the marshal died in the battle, our group fell into their hands. They finally had a place to vent their anger. He took all these years of grievances against the marshal and poured them out on us. When the regent rescued us, some people’s arms were broken and could no longer be reattached, and some had their legs broken.”
"Not only are you fighting ruthlessly, but you are also very ruthless with your own people!" Xue Ruitian looked at Xiao Liu, "You have all the beards and tails, you don't look like you have been seriously injured! Based on your relationship with Xiao Chongtian, they will let you go Over you?"
"I was in the Army and Horses Division, and they gave me cartilage powder for a year. Even if I have an antidote, I will never be able to go to the battlefield again. So..." Xiao Liu looked at Xue Ruitian, "I can't avenge the marshal openly and openly, I can only Use this despicable method."
"It's really hard for you." Xue Ruitian nodded, "So, let's talk about who came up with the idea of this operation? Was it you? Or was it your leader? Also, how did you know about General Shen? Whereabouts?"
"It's me. I've been in Jiapingguan City for a year. I rarely see Shen Haolin, Shen Cha brother and sister on the street. I know that they basically don't go out. So, I have no chance to do anything. What happened today was completely coincidental. , I was also shopping for New Year's goods, and I accidentally saw her, so I suddenly decided to attack her. I knew that if I missed it, I might never have such a good opportunity again."
"Why did you choose to do it in the gold shop?"
"The Chinese New Year is coming soon. Everyone will choose gold jewelry for themselves and their families. There are many people in the gold shop, which can act as a cover for us. Once the two sides start fighting, we can have no scruples, but Shen Cha will shrink back. Moreover, the Jinpu area is small, and her long whip cannot exert as much power as it does on the battlefield. As expected, she did not take out her long whip during the whole process, just to avoid hurting those people. Innocent people." Xiao Liu sighed heavily, "Unfortunately, the success failed. I didn't expect that my hand could not control a short knife, and it was shaking so badly at the critical moment."
"If Yelu knew that you had done such a big thing, he would reward you well. Unfortunately..." Shen Haolin stood up from the chair, "You don't have that blessing. Lieutenant General Wei!"
"The end is here!"
"Keep an eye on him. If anything goes wrong, you are the only one to ask!"
