There are two major surnames in the Northern Liao Dynasty: Yelu and Helian. People with the surname Helian are not necessarily from the royal family, but Helianyu, who can serve as a guard general, has a sharper vision than many royal families.
But he couldn't figure out Tu Chang's true strength.
Therefore, he had explained in advance that the main purpose of this operation was to kill Li Xuan.
To rescue the princess, without this constraint, Tu Shang would be able to surround and kill this person alive with thousands of men, even if his cultivation level was earth-shattering.
So the two drinkers were feinting.
Everything is to cover the actions of the female shopkeeper Jiushan.
He has calculated everything.
But he didn't expect Tu Shang to finish off the two drinkers in just a few moves.
Didn't give them a chance.
Jiushan's final attack was terrifying, but Tu Shang was just a light punch.
Jiushan was lying next to the stove, bleeding from all his orifices.
She struggled a few times, but couldn't get up.
"Who are you?" Jiushan tried his best to raise his head and spoke, but blood poured out of his mouth.
Tu Shang ate a piece of mutton, "Farmer."
Jiushan smiled bitterly, and then waves of blood gushed out from her nostrils. She coughed dryly and said, "You are really a farmer?"
"Yes." Tu Chang glanced at her, "If you try to force yourself to breathe again, I guarantee that you will die miserably."
The old thief asked: "Why?"
Tu Shang said: "She has no life left. If she waits quietly for death, her life will slowly recede, and she will die naturally and calmly. Forcibly raising her breath, the breath will stimulate her life, and her soul will stir. When it dissipates later, it will be especially
Pain.”
Yang Xuan thought of the story he saw in the scroll.
Those who are masters of the inner cultivator will be in extra pain if they can't let go before they die.
After several struggles, Jiushan gave up.
She lay down calmly and nodded slightly to He Lianyu, "I'm sorry."
He Lianyu's face turned livid, "Have a good trip."
Jiushan closed his eyes, opened them again, and asked: "You shouldn't be an unknown person with your level of cultivation. Please give me some advice..."
Tu Shang shook his head, "If I were twenty years younger, I would be happy to tell you my name. Nowadays, any false reputation is just a passing thing to me. Man! It is easy to pursue anything, just to seek a false reputation.
No, the more you ask, the more confused you become; the more you ask, the more confused you become."
"Fame and wealth are eyesores," the old thief echoed, but he is a man of fame and wealth.
He Lianyu came in and sat on the side.
No one served wine.
He picked up the fat man's wine flask and poured himself a drink.
"Let the princess go. I swear on the souls of my ancestors that I will let you go back to the northern border."
Yang Xuan smiled and said, "A man's mouth is so coaxing. Which woman said this?"
It seems to be Yi Niang... The old thief thought for a while.
"I hold the princess as a hostage in my hands, do you think your oath can be compared with hers? Are you stupid, or am I stupid?" Yang Xuan raised his glass, "Princess, please."
Changling raised his glass and said softly: "I've shown you a joke."
"Who does the princess mean?"
"Everyone is."
From Chen Qiu to today's ambush, it was all a joke.
He Lianyu raised his head and drank the wine from the flask, then stood up and went out.
"If the princess loses a hair, I swear, I will definitely chase you into the Nine Nether Hells."
Yang Xuan looked at Changling, "I'm afraid there's more than one missing."
Changling seems to be smiling but not smiling.
"You and I both know what the ins and outs of this matter are." Yang Xuan tapped his finger on the table, "The Bei Liao Rangers found a spy and took the risk to raid the Deng family, hoping to use Deng Yan to bring the princess back...
Think about it, the former Minister of Household Affairs of the Tang Dynasty appeared in the crowd welcoming the princess, but he was a prisoner. How big a sensation would this cause?"
Yang Xuan's fingers moved slowly on the table, as if he were walking on two legs.
"By the way, it can also humiliate Northern Xinjiang and Datang."
Changling looked up at him, "From a planning point of view, this raid is excellent. But from a result point of view, in the context of Daliao not preparing a large-scale attack on northern Xinjiang, this raid seems redundant."
Provoking Northern Xinjiang and Datang will only make Northern Xinjiang more alert and stronger.
There is something interesting about this woman!
Yang Xuan moved his fingers slowly on the desk, "Then, let's go back and let the grudges be settled?"
Changling smiled and slowly put his hand on the desk. He imitated him and used two slender fingers on the desk, moving slowly as if walking.
"He Lianyu's surprise attack was sharp, and he thought he was done. Unexpectedly, Huang Que was behind him, but you kidnapped me. I was thinking that you who have such means and strength should not be unknown. So, why didn't I
Have you ever heard of Li Xuan?"
Four fingers are approaching.
"No one knows my name." Yang Xuan smiled and said, "No one knows my achievements."
The sound of horse hooves came.
The three knights are all chamberlains.
"Princess!"
As soon as Changling's fingers touched Yang Xuan's, he heard the sound and sighed, "The storm in Ningxing was too big and it swept here."
Yang Xuan thought that this was not the case... The Chen family was caught by the emperor and decisively transformed into a dog licker, so they went to Changling. In order to build momentum for Changling's trip, He Lianyu raided northern Xinjiang.
Capture Deng Yan.
Everything in the world has a cause and a result.
Yang Xuan looked up at the sky.
"I always feel that there is a pair of eyes there, looking at the world indifferently."
The chamberlain came in.
"Avoid!" He glanced at Yang Xuan.
Yang Xuan decisively stood up and walked out.
Tu Shang didn't move.
The chamberlain said: "Princess, Your Majesty..."
After a while, the chamberlain was about to leave and said, "Princess, please go back early."
Changling said: "I was kidnapped."
Waiter: "..."
Where are the robbers?
He looked slowly.
The old thief looked slick, and Deng Yan looked arrogant. Neither of them looked like good players.
Tu Shang sat there in a daze, looking like an old farmer who had just returned from the fields.
"who?"
"I."
Yang Xuan came over.
The waiter took a deep breath and said, "How brave!"
"Both each other." Yang Xuan sat down.
"Go back!" Changling shook his head, indicating that it was okay.
The chamberlain went out and whispered to He Lianyu: "If anything happens to the princess, you know the consequences."
He Lianyu originally wanted to control this matter within a certain range and then eliminate the negative impact. But now it seems that it is too late.
God's calculation is not as good as man's calculation.
Yang Xuan stood up and said, "Let's go!"
As soon as I went out, I saw two cavalry coming.
The two dismounted and walked to Chen Qiu's side.
"The Chen family took refuge in Lin Ya, and His Majesty was furious. He found an excuse to put Erlangjun and his family in jail. This affected our family and most of our property was confiscated..."
Chen Qiu's body was shaken.
"What did Lin Ya say?"
"Your Majesty asked the Eagle Guard to pry open Erlangjun's mouth and bite our family. Lin Ya was unable to help. Little Langjun, not long after the villain came out, they were surrounded outside the house. Langjun asked the little man to
I was told that the princess is the only savior of our family..."
Yang Xuan and Changling walked towards the carriage.
The servant gritted his teeth and said: "How noble the princess is, but now she associates with such traitors, He Lianyu, Your Majesty cannot spare you!"
He Lianyu looked at Chen Qiu who was in despair, "If the prince-in-law hadn't caused trouble with the princess, the thief wouldn't have found a chance to kidnap the princess."
"Chen Qiu?" The chamberlain glanced at Chen Qiu, "He's like a wild dog."
These words.
That’s not right!
He Lianyu whispered: "But there have been changes?"
He was the emperor's man, but the chamberlain only responded vaguely, "Those traitors thought they had a plan, and they were dealt with by Your Majesty."
Yang Xuan and Changling got on the carriage.
Then he headed south.
The fourth day.
This place is only a hundred miles away from the border.
In the afternoon, they set up tents.
Changling also came to help.
Tu Shang and the old thief were cooking, while Deng Yan was in a daze.
"Princess."
Changling turned around and raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
Chen Qiu came over at some point.
"Aren't you afraid of being detained?" Changling said sarcastically.
Yang Xuan stepped back.
The old thief came over and said, "Lang Jun, we can go."
This place is more than a hundred miles away from the border, and there are only a few of them. They took advantage of the night to quietly escape far away, and when the Northern Liao people reacted, they were out of reach.
"Why do you think I've been traveling so slowly these past few days?"
"It's not because I'm with the princess... I made a mistake."
"Changling is testing me, and I am testing her. She wants to test my identity, and I want to test how the internal fighting in Beiliao is going."
"The gentleman feeds the tiger with his own body, which makes the villain very moved."
"You don't know how to flatter me, so you don't have to flatter me."
"If you don't take pictures of villains, you will feel panic in your heart."
"Bei Liao is a powerful enemy of the Tang Dynasty. Northern Xinjiang faces Bei Liao directly, and the same is true for Chenzhou. How can we judge their actions without understanding the internal situation of Bei Liao?"
The old thief took out the booklet, put some saliva in his mouth with his fingers, opened it to a blank page, and started recording.
"The so-called knowing yourself and the enemy means you will be victorious in every battle. Moreover, I want to know more about how Helian Summit will deal with the Chen family. This will give me a glimpse into the behavior of the Northern Liao emperor, which will be of great use."
From the way a person behaves, you can roughly judge the person's personality and three views, and then deduce his views on something and how to deal with it.
This is a strategic asset.
Therefore, Yang Xuan wished that this road could not be longer.
He waited for a long time and finally waited for Ning Xing's chamberlain and Chen's family.
"This big drama is about to begin."
The old thief glanced at Chen Qiu, "Why did this man turn into a dog again?"
"I want to know too."
Yang Xuan felt that this would be one of the important gains from his trip.
The sound of horse hooves comes from the north.
"Red cloak..." The old thief turned around and narrowed his eyes, "Mr. Lang, it's the Eagle Guard!"
Dozens of knights in red cloaks came surrounded by a woman.
Nearby, a woman raised her hand.
Dozens of riders reined in their horses.
Dismount neatly.
The woman stretched out her hand to unzip the strap in front of her neck, her cloak slid down, and an eagle guard behind her caught it.
Her waist-length hair swayed gently.
The woman took off her hat and looked indifferently ahead.
Everyone salutes.
"I've met Commander Helian!"
He Lianhong nodded slightly and opened her thin lips slightly, "Has Changling ever been bullied?"
The chamberlain approached and said, "Wei Zeng."
He Lianhong glanced at He Lianyu, "Incompetent!"
Facing the commander of the Eagle Guard, He Lianyu was also quite respectful and said, "The lower officials are incompetent."
"Say." He Lianhong slowly looked at Yang Xuan and others.
His eyes turned, but he missed Chen Qiu, who was smiling apologetically in front of Changling.
"When the official learned that the princess was coming, he launched a surprise attack and captured Deng Yan, the former Minister of Household Affairs of the Tang Dynasty. Then those people sneaked into the Liao Dynasty and kidnapped the princess and the consort on the way."
"Where are the people accompanying Changling?"
"The official is here."
The Imperial Guard general stepped forward.
He Lianhong glanced at him, "Incompetent is not enough to describe a fool like you, take it down!"
Just when the general of the Forbidden Army was about to explain that it was Princess Changling who took the initiative to approach those people, an Eagle Guard stepped forward and put a rope around his neck.
One pull!
The next words were all stuck in his throat.
"That old man is interesting." He Lianhong stared at Tu Shang.
He Lianyu smiled bitterly, "If he hadn't been here, I would have succeeded in the surprise attack."
"If the thief is not sure, how can he stay?" He Lianhong said coldly: "It's good to march and kill you, but you are just like a child with such devious methods. Fortunately, Changling is safe, otherwise a hundred deaths will not be able to redeem it.
crime."
"yes."
Changling sent Chen Qiu away coldly.
"Changling."
"Aunt Hong!"
Changling wanted to come over, took two steps, stopped and looked at Yang Xuan.
I'm still a hostage!
Helian Hong didn't move, and looked at her with his hands behind his back, "I'm here, don't worry!"
An overwhelming sense of confidence that leaves no doubt.
"Who?" Yang Xuan asked.
Changling whispered: "Commander of the Eagle Guard."
"The Helian Hong who killed her man on their wedding night?"
"Yes, I like her so much!"
"Tell her it will be delivered the day after tomorrow."
"Don't tell."
"Why?"
"I told you, Aunt Hong will prevent you from leaving Daliao."
"hehe!"
Yang Xuan smiled.
He Lianhong came over.
Tu Shang, who was sitting by the fire making rice, said without turning around, "It's almost done."
He Lianhong was five steps away from Changling and stopped when he heard the words, "It's interesting."
Yang Xuan raised his hand and said, "Is the commander-in-chief here just for the princess?"
He Lianhong glanced at him and said, "You are not a secret agent of the mirror, nor are you a scout."
grass!
This woman's eyes are so poisonous.
Yang Xuan smiled, "Who do you think I am, Commander-in-Chief?"
"It doesn't matter who you are. Changling is fine, and you are fine. If Changling is not okay, I will make you regret being born in this world."
This is a threat from the Northern Liao Eagle Guard Commander.
Even if he sneaks into the Tang Dynasty to assassinate people, Yingwei will make his commander's words come true.
In full view of everyone, Yang Xuan spoke.
"Hey! It's time to eat."
Changling turned around and walked over.
The two of them walked to the fire, Tu Shang distributed the food, the old thief helped, and Deng Yan did nothing.
The food was finally distributed to Deng Yan, and the portion was not large.
"Too little."
Tu Shang looked at him and said, "You have eaten too much Minzhi Mingan. It's time to vomit some of it out."
"Haha!" After witnessing Tu Chang's methods, Deng Yan did not dare to beep with him, so he could only express his dissatisfaction with Tu Chang.
After dinner.
Yang Xuan said again in full view of everyone: "Princess, it's time to rest."
The two entered the tent.
Tu Shang moved his tent to the side.
So close.
"My ears are not good."
There is some ambiguity in this statement.
He Lianhong sneered, "Pitch my tent here."
Chen Qiu knew that these two days would determine Chen's fate. Whether Chen could stand up again depended on whether he could coax the princess back.
But what can be done?
He thought about it.
Went to find followers.
"The best cloth, washed clean."
The follower didn't understand, but did as he was told.
