The main hall of the Xixia Palace, where business meetings were held in the past, was brightly lit tonight, the breeze was blowing, and the air was filled with the alluring aroma of meat.
Chao Yong, Li Jun and other naval leaders were sitting around on the high platform of the palace, with a bonfire lit in front of them. Several young and beautiful palace women were roasting mutton and camel meat for everyone. Compared with the two, horse meat was really nothing.
tasty.
At the bottom of the steps, several concubines in the palace were wearing colorful clothes as thin as cicada wings and dancing in Danxiang dances. Although Li Yuanhao tried his best to maintain the national things, the exquisite things of the Han people were still pursued tirelessly by the Danxiang nobles. After Li Yuanhao's death
, the palace is filled with things from the Central Plains.
Singing and dancing in the palace were in full swing, but fighting continued in many places in the city.
Many party nobles were not willing to have their weapons confiscated, so they took their guards and servants to fight with Li Kui's tribe. After Jiao Ting saw that several soldiers were unfortunately chopped down, he grabbed Li Kui and refused to let him use brute force.
Use fire thunder.
One by one, fire thunder was thrown into the courtyard where the wealthy family was guarding. The sound of explosions boomed in the night sky, and the number of people who resisted gradually decreased.
The dignitaries who were escorted to the palace stood on both sides of the hall. Although the women dancing in the middle were all royal concubines that they could only fantasize about in the past, at this time, they had no intention of watching this beautiful dance.
Ruan Xiaowu was a little dazzled by what he saw, and sighed: "I heard the old man, Mr. Zhong, said that Xixia women are strong and strong and can fight in battle. I thought that all the Dangxiang women were like Sister-in-law Gu, but I didn't expect them."
There are so many beauties."
Li Jun smiled and said, "Fifth brother, are you thinking about being romantic again?"
Chao Yong smiled and said: "There was an emperor from the grassland who destroyed countless countries. He liked to collect beauties from all over the world. Do you think how he died?"
Li Jun smiled and said: "The prince said it so clearly, he must have been killed by a woman, right?"
Chao Yong smiled and said: "There are several theories. Some say that he was hit by a poisonous arrow when attacking a country. Some say that the war horse stepped on this caltrop and fell to death. There are also some saying that he was bitten by a woman while making love with that country.
He killed that thing and died of pain. After his death, his descendants conquered this country and then completely destroyed it, and everything that recorded this national culture was destroyed."
Li Jundao: "When you put it this way, it is really possible that he died of a woman."
Ruan Xiaoqi squeezed Ruan Xiaowu and said with a smile: "Fifth brother, do you want to be a eunuch?"
Ruan Xiaowu smiled and said: "They don't want to live anymore. Dare they attack us?"
Chao Yong shook his head and said: "If we are the same nation, then it's okay. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. To the Dangxiang tribe, we are their enemies who will destroy the country. There is no guarantee that we will not do anything extreme. You
If you are not afraid, you can choose the women in the palace."
"If you conquer this country, you will have to conquer their women. Then I won't be polite."
Ruan Xiaowu said, walked down the hall, looked left and right, then turned back and said, "Can I pick two?"
Chao Yong smiled and said: "Whatever."
"Thank you, Prince. I'm going. You guys can eat."
Ruan Xiaowu thanked him, then took the two concubines and walked out.
Ruan's three male siblings are from the same mother, but their temperaments are completely different. Ruan Xiaoer is steady, Ruan Xiaowu is romantic, and Ruan Xiaoqi is playful.
The two concubines were dragged away by Ruan Xiaowu in public, their faces turned red, but they did not resist.
Li Renai, who was standing below, saw his father's concubine being dragged away. He couldn't help but pointed at Chao Yong and cursed: "With a cruel and unkind prince like you in Daliang, the country's demise will not be far away."
Yelu Nanxian hurriedly grabbed Li Renai.
Chao Yong looked at the man with whip marks standing next to him and said, "Don't you know how to use a riding crop?"
The three men who were rescued from Qingtongxia also understood what Chao Yong meant. Thinking of the grievances they had suffered over the years, they also waved their riding whips fiercely.
"Pa"
As soon as the whip went down, there was a blood mark on Li Renai's face. The weak Li Renai could not withstand the whip of the man who worked hard every day, and he was immediately knocked to the ground.
The two people who were slower to start took advantage of it.
Yelu Nanxian saw that the three men were still chasing him, so he hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop the three men, and said to Chao Yong who was sitting on the throne: "My son is wrong. The prime minister can hold a boat in his belly, so the prince will spare him."
Chao Yong saw Li Renai twitching on the ground after being knocked down, and nodded: "Okay, the party members are very weak, so don't beat them to death."
Li Jun and others couldn't help laughing when they heard this.
The party nobles standing in the main hall couldn't help but blush when they heard this. In the past, they were the ones who laughed at the weakness of the Han people, and they had been laughed at by the Han people in this way.
Chao Yong saw that many of the Dangxiang people below the main hall looked aggrieved and said with a smile: "If anyone wants to prove the bravery of Dangxiang people, just stand up. As long as I can survive half an hour under the whips of the three of them, I will recognize Dangxiang."
People are still somewhat bloody."
When the three Han people heard this, they couldn't help but look at the party nobles in the palace with hatred.
When the party nobles saw the three people with whip marks on their faces, they were naturally familiar with it. Many of the tyrannical party nobles had such Han slaves in their homes. Seeing the hostile looks in their eyes, they knew that in less than half an hour, the three of them would be killed.
They will be beaten to death.
Chao Yong waited for a while and saw that no one in the hall came forward. He said disappointedly: "No wonder the Dangxiang people are going to perish."
Then he said to Immortal Yelu Nan: "I heard that you are the princess of Liao Kingdom. We have already watched the party dance. Please ask the Queen Mother of Xixia to dance the Khitan dance for us."
When Yelu Nanxian heard this, she couldn't help but stiffen. She was both the princess of Liao and the queen mother of Xixia. If she danced for the prince of Liang, she would undoubtedly lose the dignity of the two countries.
Li Renai, who was convulsing, also struggled and said, "Queen Mother, I don't want it."
Chao Yong smiled and said: "It turns out that the leader of the Xixia Kingdom is pretending to be dead, so give him some of the suffering you have suffered."
The three Han men immediately raised their whips and whipped them at Li Renai without hesitation.
Seeing his son rolling around after being whipped, Yelu Nanxian hurriedly said: "If you are willing to jump, please forgive him, Prince."
Chao Yong paused, then nodded and said: "Okay, stop."
The three of them were very happy to see the Xixia king rolling under their whip. When they heard Chao Yong's words, they stopped without feeling satisfied.
Yelu Nanxian walked gracefully into the hall and began to dance gracefully.
Compared with the graceful young concubine in the back, Yelu Nanxian, who is in her thirties, has a different kind of charm. Her plump figure shows the charm of a mature woman.
However, the reserve of her status made her movements a little stiff, and she lost a lot of beauty.
Chao Yong smiled at Li Jun and others: "What do you think of the Queen Mother of Xixia's dance?"
Ruan Xiaoqi shook his head and said: "It's not as good as those little girls dancing."
Li Jun smiled and said: "It's true that you can't dance well, but it's because of your high status. Look at those people of your highness."
Everyone looked around, and sure enough they saw that the people standing there were secretly watching, and many of them had greedy gleams in their eyes.
Chao Yong smiled and said: "That's how people are, the less they can get, the better. This camel meat is good. Let's go and have a rest after everyone has eaten and drank. The raid on the Xingqing Navy Navy is the first one. You can do it if you are not afraid of becoming a eunuch.
Pick two people at random in the palace and take them back with you when you return to Tokyo."
Li Jun smiled and said: "We just took a boat trip, how can we deserve the first credit?"
Chao Yong smiled and said: "Without you driving the boat, we would not have been able to reach Xingqing Mansion so quickly. Without the Zhang Shun brothers to blow up the city wall, it would not have been easy for the army to enter Xingqing Mansion."
Li Jun nodded and said: "I didn't expect that two thousand kilograms of gunpowder would be so powerful. Even Zhang Shun brothers, who are so watery, couldn't escape."
Chao Yong said: "Let the Gunpowder Bureau do some experiments later to estimate the power of the gunpowder, so as not to injure one of our own people."
Everyone chatted for a while, Chao Yong saw that many people were already standing in the hall, and Yelu Nanxian, who was dancing in the middle, was already sweating on his forehead, so he asked Yelu Nanxian to stop.
"Are there any descendants of Zhang Yuan in the hall?"
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at the two elegant Han men standing in front of them.
The two of them also knew what their ancestors had done, and they couldn't help but feel a little numb, but they also knew that they couldn't hide it, so they had to bow to each other.
Chao Yong saw that Zhang Yuan really had descendants, and immediately shouted: "Come here, capture them, send an order to Li Kui's troops, kill them all, and not one of them can escape. Wu Liu and you three will execute the execution and beat them to death. If not,
If Zhang Yuan helps Li Yuanhao, maybe Xixia won't do so much harm. They are responsible for your suffering."
Li Jun watched the soldiers pull the two of them down and wondered: "Who is Zhang Yuan?"
Chao Yong only knew this person when he and Zhong Shidao learned about Xixia's past.
"This thief was originally from Huayin. He tried repeatedly and failed. He wanted to find a job at the border of the Song Dynasty, but was not appreciated by others. This guy felt that his talent was not appreciated, so he fled to Xingqing Mansion and surrendered to Li Yuanhao. If only to prove himself
He was just a man of talent and knowledge, but he actually became Li Yuanhao's mastermind and made suggestions for Li Yuanhao to destroy the Song Dynasty. Although he did not succeed, he also caused a lot of suffering to the people of Shaanxi."
When Ruan Xiaoqi heard this, he couldn't help but slapped his thigh and cursed: "These traitors deserve to be chopped alive. They actually lead Xixia people to harm their own people. I see there are many such traitors in this palace, kill them all."
Clean."
The Han people in the palace originally thought that they had a better chance of survival than the Dangxiang people, but they never expected that they would be the first to suffer.
"General, please spare your life, we have no choice but to do so."
In an instant, more than half of the people below were kneeling down. There were already a lot of Han people in Xixia. The Xixia campaign relied on party members from various tribes, but it was the Han people who managed the country, developed commerce, and handicrafts. The party nobles did not reject the Han people. In their view, the party members did not reject the Han people.
Come on, the Han people are just running the country for them and making money for them. Whoever holds the knife is the master.
Chao Yong shook his head and said: "There is nothing wrong with being captured and surrendering. We cannot expect that everyone will not be afraid of death. Those who just surrender to the enemy and then lead the enemy to harm their own compatriots are unpardonable crimes."
Ruan Xiaoqi wanted to speak, but Ruan Xiaoer next to him picked up a meat skewer, stuffed it into Xiaoqi's mouth, and said, "This is delicious."
Chao Yong smiled and said: "Everyone, get up. Those who are willing to submit to me should stand on the left side, and those who are not willing to submit to me should stand on the right side."
Upon hearing this, all the Han people immediately stood up and stood on the left side. (To be continued)
