230 Cut off the generals and cut the flags, and all the armies will make changes
Meng Xiuyuan turned around and looked around, and saw that the person who came was burly and weathered, it was Xiao Feng whom he had not seen for a long time.
But before he could answer, Yelu Hongji on the bed was already awakened:
"Here comes an assassin..."
Yelu Hongji was quick-thinking. As soon as he opened his eyes in his sleep, he saw two strangers suddenly appeared in the tent. He knew that something was not good. Without any hesitation, he shouted and touched the sword under his pillow, intending to turn over and chop it open.
Camp behind the tent and flee as close as possible.
Unexpectedly, he was clearly trying to summon his breath and wanted to drink loudly, but when he spoke, his voice was as soft as a mosquito. Only Meng Xiuyuan and Xiao Feng in the tent could hear his voice.
His hand holding the sword also lacked any strength, and he reluctantly climbed up from the bed. Just as he was about to move, his legs gave out and he fell back onto the bed.
"You...what did you do to me?!"
Although Yelu Hongji was the emperor of the Liao Kingdom and experienced many great storms in his life, he had never seen anything so weird. At the same time, he was suddenly broken into the camp by an assassin late at night. He only said that his life was hanging by a thread, and he couldn't help but feel a little panic in his voice.
.
When Meng Xiuyuan heard the sound, he only glanced at Yelu Hongji lightly, but ignored him first and turned to Xiao Feng, cupping his hands and saying:
"Brother Xiao, you are fine..."
Seeing that Meng Xiuyuan was still facing him with such respect, Xiao Feng couldn't help but be startled for a moment. After a while, he let out a sigh and sighed:
"Brother Meng, I haven't seen you for a few months, and your kung fu has become much better.
Now, even I can't see through you."
Xiao Feng could tell that Yelu Hongji was in a strange state at this time because his meridians and acupuncture points were sealed. Moreover, the acupoint sealing technique was extremely clever. It only blocked most of its meridians with true energy, but it was not completely sealed, so that it could still function.
He moved a little and made some noise, but he was too weak to raise his voice to attract the guards, nor could he move away.
He believed that such acupuncture skills would be difficult for him to do in a hurry.
What's more important is that since Xiao Feng entered the camp, his eyes have been fixed on Meng Xiuyuan without any deviation, but even so, he still failed to realize when Meng Xiuyuan took action.
By superimposing the two factors, Xiao Feng could see that Brother Meng's kung fu in front of him was obviously much improved compared to that of Shaolin Temple, and was far beyond what he could compare with.
When Meng Xiuyuan heard this, he was not polite to Xiao Feng, nodded, and then asked bluntly:
"Brother Xiao, you said you wouldn't let me hurt the Emperor of Liao, why?"
Meng Xiuyuan looked solemn when business was mentioned. Although he knew that Xiao Feng would never help the Liao Kingdom to attack the Song Dynasty, he still wanted to hear the reasons from his own mouth.
Xiao Feng glanced at Yelu Hongji who was lying on the couch, and used his inner strength to send a message to Meng Xiuyuan:
"Brother Meng, if you kill the Liao Emperor today, you can indeed make the Liao army retreat temporarily.
But within a year and a half, the Liao Kingdom would have a new emperor, who would covet the territory of the Song Kingdom and start another war.
Not to mention that by then the Liao Kingdom will have learned from this experience, and if you make more preparations in advance, will you be able to successfully assassinate again?
Let’s just say that in this process, I don’t know how many innocent people in the Liao Kingdom suffered misfortunes in the struggle for power among the nobles.
Brother Meng, I am a Khitan and grew up in the Song Dynasty.
I don’t want to see the suffering of the people of Liao and Song dynasties..."
Having said this, Xiao Feng paused for a moment, looked directly at Meng Xiuyuan with a pair of tiger eyes, and then said calmly:
"You are a native of the Song Dynasty, and you are devoted to the Song Dynasty. It is understandable.
In addition, your skill at this moment is obviously beyond my ability.
If you think what I said is wrong, you can kill me first and then the Liao Emperor.
Each has its own country and each has its own people. Even if I die today, I will not blame you."
Meng Xiuyuan frowned slightly when he heard this. But after thinking about it for a moment, he felt that what Brother Xiao said was truly true.
With Xiao Feng's background, this thought in his heart is indeed correct.
After a long while, Meng Xiuyuan nodded abruptly and said to Xiao Feng:
"Brother Xiao, how do you want to solve this matter?"
Xiao Feng was very happy when he saw Meng Xiuyuan relenting. He immediately wanted to explain to Meng Xiuyuan again. But before he could speak, he was interrupted by Yelu Hongji who was standing beside him:
"If you two want to kill me, why don't you do it quickly?
In front of me, you still act sneakily, what's your plan?!"
Yelu Hongji didn't know how to transmit sounds through internal force. He saw Meng Xiuyuan and Xiao Feng standing opposite each other, their lips moving slightly. They were obviously having a conversation, but no sound was heard. He couldn't help but feel irritated, feeling that these two people were playing with the prey they had obtained, as if they were being humiliated.
Own.
Xiao Feng glanced at Meng Xiuyuan and saw that his expression was indifferent and showed no expression. He immediately understood its meaning and walked straight to Yelu Hongji's bed, bowing and holding his hands.
"I only ask your Majesty to promise me one thing, and I will leave immediately without disturbing you again."
When Yelu Hongji heard Xiao Feng speak so politely, he couldn't help but feel very surprised. He subconsciously looked at Xiao Feng up and down, and saw that he was tall and majestic. He immediately had a flash of inspiration in his mind and asked:
"Are you a Khitan?"
Xiao Feng nodded when he heard the sound and didn't answer silently.
Yelu Hongji felt very complicated after hearing this. He subconsciously wanted to rebuke Xiao Feng as a "rebellious minister" and a "shameless traitor", but he was afraid of angering the two people in front of him, so he took back his words before he could say anything, and turned to face
Said with a smile:
"You can tell me that no matter whether it is gold, silver, wealth, official titles or beauties, they are nothing to me.
Whatever you two ask for, I will grant you."
Xiao Feng said:
"Your Majesty is already a prisoner of the two of us. According to the rules of our Khitan people, your Majesty must redeem himself with gifts.
I don't want anything else but a promise from His Majesty Chrysostom.
Your Majesty, please agree to withdraw your troops immediately. For the rest of your life, your Majesty will not allow any Liao army to cross the Song-Liao border."
When Yelu Hongji heard this, he frowned slightly and could no longer keep the smile on his face. After a moment, he said in a deep voice:
"This is a very important moment, what if I don't agree?
Are you going to kill me?"
Xiao Feng nodded without hesitation and said solemnly:
"If Your Majesty feels that the land of Song is more important than your own life, then I will have to do it."
Yelu Hongji could not help but feel the chills on his body when he heard the murderous aura in Xiao Feng's voice. Thinking about his current situation, if the two of them were to kill him, there would be no chance of survival.
As the Emperor of the Liao Dynasty, Yelu Hongji naturally cherished his life. After a slight hesitation, he finally nodded towards Xiao Feng.
Seeing this scene, before Xiao Feng could speak again, he heard Meng Xiuyuan behind him asking first:
"Brother Xiao, once we leave tonight, what should Yelu Hongji do if he regrets breaking the contract?"
Yelu Hongji snorted softly when he heard the words and said:
"We, the Khitan people, keep our word and keep our word. How can we go back on our word?!"
Xiao Feng shook his head, ignored Yelu Hongji, and explained to Meng Xiuyuan seriously:
"Brother Meng, there is no need to worry, I have already made a plan.
What His Majesty said is true. The people of Liao State generally keep their word and keep their promises.
All he had to do was let the Liao emperor sound the gongs and drums, summon his troops, and then swear an oath in front of tens of thousands of Liao troops to never invade the Song Dynasty again.
In this way, if he goes back on his word in the future, not only will the whole country of Liao look down on him, but other nobles and generals of Liao will also be able to use this as a reason to call on their subordinates to rebel.
By that time, let alone going south to attack the Song Dynasty, I am afraid that his position as emperor will not be secure."
Meng Xiuyuan heard this and asked Xiao Feng:
"Brother Xiao, don't tell me whether what you are talking about is definitely feasible.
It’s just that Yelu Hongji has gathered tens of thousands of troops to surround us. I’m afraid it’s hard for us to escape, right?”
Xiao Feng seemed to have guessed that Meng Xiuyuan would ask such a question, and immediately answered:
"If Brother Meng can trust me, please leave this Liao army camp first.
Just leave me here alone and watch your Majesty.
Although my kung fu is not as good as yours, but within three feet, if he does anything strange, I am sure that I will kill him..."
Meng Xiuyuan was stunned when he heard this. He looked at Xiao Feng carefully and saw that his face was determined. He had obviously made up his mind to stay and risk the danger alone.
Seeing this scene, Meng Xiuyuan sighed in his heart and suddenly shook his head:
"There's no need for this. Brother Xiao, I already understand what you mean. Let's go first..."
With that said, Meng Xiuyuan walked towards Yelu Hongji who was on the bed, patted him on the shoulder, and then said to him calmly:
"You'd better remember what happened tonight, don't forget your promise, withdraw your troops immediately, and never invade the Song Dynasty again for the rest of your life.
If not, even if you are hiding among thousands of troops, I will come and take your life."
After speaking, Meng Xiuyuan immediately did not let Xiao Feng say anything, and pulled him and disappeared outside the camp like a gust of wind.
…
When Meng Xiuyuan and Xiao Feng left the Liao army camp, it was still dark at night. They took advantage of the faint moonlight behind the thin clouds and flew along the mountain road.
During the trip, Meng Xiuyuan and Xiao Feng didn't talk much, but there was no barrier between them. The two of them tacitly agreed not to mention the past, but only talked about the recent situation.
It turned out that Xiao Feng had been operating in the Liao army's camp in the past few days, destroying the Liao army's weapons and supplies while searching for the location of Yelu Hongji.
The Liao army camp was heavily guarded. Although he was extremely skilled in martial arts, he still needed to be careful when facing tens of thousands of troops. Compared with Meng Xiuyuan's light martial arts, which came and went like a ghost, his efficiency was naturally much lower.
It was not until tonight that he and Meng Xiuyuan happened to find Yelu Hongji's location.
After saying this, Xiao Feng was silent for a long time and suddenly asked the doubts in his heart.
"Brother Meng, aren't you afraid that the Liao Emperor will regret it if you act like this?"
Meng Xiuyuan shook his head when he heard this and explained to Xiao Feng:
"If Yelu Hongji is a man who keeps his word and cares about his own life, then he will not break his promise no matter what.
And if he really wanted to invade the Song Dynasty, no matter how many soldiers he swore in front of, he would try his best to change public opinion and confuse people's hearts, so that the Liao army would willingly go south again.
Now that we're gone, he's no longer a threat and it's time to show his true nature.
The result will be known after daybreak."
Xiao Feng saw that Meng Xiuyuan looked determined, but he couldn't refute any more and could only nodded silently.
After several turns on the mountain road, Meng Xiuyuan took Xiao Feng to the agreed place to meet Wang Yuyan.
Wang Yuyan and Xiao Feng didn't know each other well, so they didn't chat much. They only exchanged a few polite words. Xiao Feng sat under a tree nearby, closed his eyes and rested, waiting for the results tomorrow morning.
Wang Yuyan was curious, so she and Meng Xiuyuan went to a secluded place and asked him about what happened in the Liao army camp that night.
After Meng Xiuyuan briefly narrated what happened, Wang Yuyan immediately realized that there was something wrong:
"Mr. Meng, in my opinion, you never thought of sparing the Liao Emperor's life from the very beginning..."
Meng Xiuyuan was a little surprised when he heard this, and secretly thought that this girl really had a smart mind and guessed his thoughts clearly, so she couldn't help but nodded:
"Yes, I don't believe any of his oaths, and I don't dare to bet on whether the Liao people care about credibility so much.
Killing him to shock future generations is a safer way."
Wang Yuyan then asked:
"Then Master, why don't you do something tonight?
I'm afraid it will be much more difficult to kill the Liao Emperor in the future, right?
Are you doing this tortuously just to accommodate Master Xiao and make him feel better?"
This time Meng Xiuyuan shook his head and said with a smile:
"No, Brother Xiao has nothing to do with this matter. I never thought of letting Yelu Hongji die so silently.
If I sneak into the camp to kill him tonight, then I will be just an assassin and not powerful enough to intimidate him.
Those who later became emperors of the Liao Kingdom may not necessarily be afraid of this and dare not go south..."
Meng Xiuyuan hadn't finished what he said, but Wang Yuyan had already guessed it. Her beautiful eyes widened immediately, she looked at Meng Xiuyuan and asked with some worry:
"Mr. Meng, are you really so sure? The military formation is dangerous, but it is different from fighting in the rivers and lakes..."
Meng Xiuyuan did not answer when he heard this, but just advised Wang Yuyan to take a rest and wait until daybreak to find out.
…
In this way, the three of them rested in the forest for two hours. As the sky grew brighter, they suddenly heard a rumble and a thunderous sound coming from the distance. It was obviously the sound of the hoofbeats of the brigade.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The three of them exchanged glances upon hearing the sound, and immediately ran to the top of the mountain. When they climbed to the top and looked down, they saw that a large number of Liao troops were heading towards Yanmen Pass.
.
At a glance, there are flags flying in the east, west, north and west, and there are countless people and horses, which seems to be boundless.
"This Emperor of Daliao really doesn't keep his promise?!"
When Xiao Feng saw this scene, his eyes turned red and he clenched his fists tightly.
Originally, if he hadn't stopped him, Meng Xiuyuan would have been able to kill Yelu Hongji last night.
Instead, he asked him to stop him, saying that he wanted to make an agreement that he would not invade the Song Dynasty from the south during his lifetime.
Who would have thought that Yelu Hongji would show his true nature in just two hours and still send troops to attack.
If Yanmen Pass is broken because of this, it will be Xiao Feng's responsibility.
Xiao Feng raised his eyes and looked south, and there seemed to be a fantasy in front of him: Thousands of Liao soldiers broke through Yanmen Pass and rushed towards the hinterland of the Central Plains. Houses were on fire, flames soared into the sky. Countless men, women, old and young were rolling and moaning under the hooves of horses. Feathers and arrows covered the sky. Song soldiers and Liao soldiers
The soldiers killed each other and fell off their horses one after another. Blood flowed like a river, and bones were everywhere...
Thinking about this, Xiao Feng suddenly trembled. After a while, he took a deep breath and said to Meng Xiuyuan:
"Brother Meng, I was wrong.
What are your plans, but please tell me.
Even if I risk my life today, Xiao Feng, I still have to make up for my mistakes!"
Meng Xiuyuan shook his head and said to Xiao Feng:
"Brother Xiao, there is no need to do this. Please protect Miss Wang here.
Since I made an agreement with Yelu Hongji last night, I will certainly have a way to fulfill it..."
While he was talking, Meng Xiuyuan had already fallen down from the hillside and headed straight towards the Liao army.
Before he could rush into the Liao army's formation, he had already mobilized his internal strength and said loudly:
"Yelü Hongji, since you don't keep your word, today is the day you die."
With Meng Xiuyuan's current skill, this shout immediately spread throughout the entire canyon in front of Yanmen Pass. Whether it was the Song army guarding Yanmen Pass or the tens of thousands of Liao troops, everyone felt as if there was thunder in their ears.
There are only two chapters left of Tianlong, so don’t worry.
