The Song Dynasty has been deliberate for 16 years, only to know that it is the Water Margin

The three of Zhao Tun and others ate the wind and rested the water, Xiaoxing stayed overnight, and within a day entered the boundary of Hebei East Road.

Today, the two roads in Hebei and the west road are separated by Taihang Mountain, and the east falls into the hands of Tian Hu.

The east road was separated by the Yellow River, and the west also fell into the hands of Tian Hu.

Tian Hu guards the hinterland of Hebei Province and occupies 31 counties in eight states. It is backed by the Taihang Mountains, reaches the Yellow River in the front, borders the Liao Kingdom in the north, and confronts the Song Dynasty in the south.

For a time, no one could do anything about it.

The three of Zhao Tun had put on horses at this moment, and went northward along the east bank of the Yellow River, and ran across Cangzhou.

There is no state capital in the north of Cangzhou, only two counties, and then it will reach the border of Song and Liao.

The border of the northeast section of Hebei Road is actually bounded by the Yellow River.

The Yellow River starts from Henan Province and travels thousands of miles northward. When it reaches here, it suddenly turns a right angle, changes from going north directly to going east, and then flows into the Bohai Sea.

On the opposite side of this section of the Yellow River is Nanjing Road in the Liao Kingdom, and the capital is Xijinfu.

The one stationed on Nanjing Road was Emperor Tianzuo's cousin, the grandson of Liao Xingzong Yeluzongzhen, the nephew of Liao Daozong Yelu Hongji, and Yeluchun who was granted the title of King of Qin and Jin.

Yes, Yeluchun's title is Qin Jinwang.

In the second year of Baoda, Emperor Tianzuo fled to Jiashan, and the officials directly supported the Qin and Jin king Yeluchun as emperor, named Emperor Tianxi, and descended to Emperor Tianzuo as King of Xiangyin, and sent envoys to Biaojin Kingdom , begging to be a vassal.

If the Liao Dynasty can be regarded as one of the orthodox kings of this era, then there will be one more emperor of Qin or Jin in history.

He is now staying behind in Nanjing, and the Liao Kingdom resents the army, which was first formed and recruited by him.

Originally, according to the normal time, in the first few years, that is, in the ninth year of Liao Tianqing, the Jin army would capture Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing, Liao Kingdom, and in the second year of Baoda, the Jin army would capture Dading Mansion in Zhongjing.

But because of Wanyan Aguda's death, this matter has been completely postponed, and now Shangjing is still in the hands of the Liao Kingdom.

However, the situation is not optimistic. Although Shangjing has not been lost, some sites in the north and east of Shangjing have already fallen into the hands of the Kingdom of Jin.

At Fengshuidu on the bank of the Yellow River, many Song troops were patrolling here. Zhao Tang just took a look at it from a distance, and then took Yue Fei and Ouyang Bei to the west.

It is impossible to cross the normal ferry, even if it passes, there are still Liao troops waiting on the opposite side.

He planned to go around to a place with few people. After all, the distance along this line is not short, and there are many rugged places. Moreover, the border between Song and Liao is actually not very well-defended. There has been no war for many years. Very sparse, and very lazy.

In the evening, they came to a small village. The three of them went into the village to buy food, and someone came to strike up a conversation and asked if they wanted to cross the river.

After confirming the authenticity and asking for a good price, when it was getting dark, he went to the river and boarded the boat secretly, then crossed the Yellow River, came to the other side, and officially set foot on the border of the Liao Kingdom.

Then he hurried on, and after a few days, he finally entered Shangjing Road, and it was already August [-]th when he actually arrived outside the city of Shangjing.

Shangjing is heavily guarded at this time. On the one hand, the Jin Kingdom is extremely oppressive, and they are worried that Jurchen spies will sneak into the city. still close.

Zhao Tong took out three guides and identity documents from his body, all of which were faked by himself, more real than real.

At the gate of the city, put a piece of silver under the book guide and handed it up, saying that it was a merchant from the Bohai Sea, who came to watch the city's market, the Khitan soldiers guarding the city secretly took the silver, glanced at it, and waved to let it go.

After entering the city, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief, only to see that the capital city is huge and has a large population. Although it is not as prosperous as Tokyo, it has a special charm.

The buildings and commercial houses on both sides of the street are all built with blue bricks or square stones. They are very tall, and the overall style is rough and desolate.

Zhao Tang didn't know where Xiao Min lived, so after thinking about it, he went to a fur shop on the side of the road to inquire. The shopkeeper in that shop laughed loudly when he heard the news: "My dear guest, you are interested in Lin Ya's wedding, and want to watch the ceremony?"

Zhao Tong smiled and said: "Exactly, exactly, please let me know."

The shopkeeper shook his head and said mockingly: "You didn't ask Dashi Linya's residence, but asked the princess's residence. I don't think you are watching the ceremony, but you want to see the princess's face?"

Zhao Tong's mouth twitched when he heard this: "I'm really ashamed that my brother saw it."

The shopkeeper said: "Why should I be ashamed? The princess is a famous beauty I went to Beijing. Who wouldn't want to take a look? Even when I came home from the shop two years ago, I always made a detour to go there."

Zhao Tong stroked his chin and said, "Brother is indeed a good-natured man, I admire you!"

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Beautiful BMW is my Khitan's favorite. Seeing that you are not from my clan, where did you come from?"

Zhao Tong said: "My younger brothers are from Bohai, they came to watch the Shangjing market, heard that Lin Ya got married, and admired the name of the princess, so I wanted to take a sneak peek."

The shopkeeper waved his hand: "You Bohai people are petty, my Khitan daughter never twitches like a little girl, there is no need to peep, just wait in front of the house if you want to!"

Zhao Tongli said: "My brother taught you the right thing, please tell me about the princess' mansion."

The shopkeeper said: "Go north to the center of the city, and then go eastward until you meet Silver Lion Street, and you can see it not far away."

Zhao Tun nodded, then went out and took Yue Fei and the two to look for it. The shopkeeper shook his head behind and said to himself: "It's good to be young, alas..."

It took about half an hour, and the three of them finally arrived at Silver Lion Street, but it turned out to be a street lined with noble mansions.

Although there are some businesses, most of them are silk shops, rouge shops, jewelry shops, bookstores and other places, and there are no inns or restaurants.

Walking down the street, it didn't take long before I saw a horizontal plaque of "Liaoxi County King's Mansion" hanging on the gate of a tall mansion.

Because the Khitan's two surnames are either Yelu or Xiao, so the family name is not written on the house, only the official name, otherwise it is impossible to identify which one it is.

Zhao Tong stood not far from the door and looked around, seeing that it was a bit lively at the moment, some maids and servants came in and out, carrying things, and red lanterns were hung on both sides of the gate of the house, I don't know if it was to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, or to celebrate the coming overjoyed.

Yue Fei whispered: "Brother, your friend has a great official position."

He looked at the plaque of the King of Liaoxi County, and thought that Zhao Tama's friend was the King of Liao.

Zhao Tong squinted his eyes and said, "The Liao Kingdom is about to fall apart, so what's the use of the official university?"

Along the way, he and Yue Fei deduced the future situation of the Liao Kingdom, and came to the conclusion that the Liao Dynasty would not escape the doom of destroying the country in all likelihood!

No matter how you look at it, with the current decay and weak military strength of the Liao Kingdom, it may be difficult to escape from the suppression of the powerful military power and undisguised ambition of the Jin Kingdom like the rising sun.

What's more, there is also a big Song in the south who is eyeing a tiger. Although Song is also weak, Liao is sandwiched between the two after all. I am afraid that he will die if he doesn't want to!

This will be a great change of imperial power, redistribution of land, change of handle of artifacts, and reshuffle of the world.Yue Fei said: "What brother said is true, but doesn't the Liao Kingdom know it?"

Zhao Tong shook his head: "There are people who are sober at any time, even the most bewildered empire, there are people who can see through the general situation before it is destroyed, but you can't plan ahead many years in advance, how can you escape this ruthless crush when the general situation is at hand? "

Yue Fei was silent, lost in thought.

Zhao Tong said: "Let's go, find a restaurant outside this street to eat and drink, and then find an inn to stay first."

After he finished speaking, the three of them turned and walked out into the street. At this moment, an eagle's cry suddenly came from the sky.

The sound was sharp and ear-piercing, and its penetrating power was so strong that it could be described as frightening the sky and suppressing the clouds.

"Why is the eagle screaming so loudly?" Yue Fei asked in amazement, looking up, he saw a big bird with black feathers and golden claws flying over the midair to cover the clouds.

Yue Fei immediately changed his color, this eagle is so big, no, this is not an eagle but a vulture, but such a big one is extremely rare even among vultures.

Zhao Tun and Ouyang Bei also looked up, Zhao Tun squinted his eyes while he was building a pergola, Ouyang Bei twitched his eyebrows, this big bird looked familiar...

In mid-air, the big eagle was flying comfortably, it was in a good mood, I saw its left paw grabbing, grabbing, grabbing again.

Well, practice your claw strength.

Then change to the right paw, grab, grab, and grab.

Well, invincible, who can compete in the sky and the world?Quack, quack, chirp, invincible!So cool!

When the big eagle saw the mansion below, it came back so quickly, it actually arrived home, it circled, and wanted to fly into the mansion.

Um?There are so many two-legged beasts below, why do some of them look up to the sky to see it?
What are you looking at? Have you never seen a divine sculpture?
The big eagle is a little unhappy. It is doing well in the city now. Who doesn't recognize it?Why are there two-legged beasts so ignorant that they actually looked up at it for so long!
The big eagle was annoyed, so he wanted to swoop down to frighten these two-legged beasts who didn't know what to do.

It did what it said, and rushed down immediately, but it only fell halfway, and suddenly its body was stagnant in the air.

Its two round eyes stared wider than usual. That two-legged beast, why does that two-legged beast look familiar?That's, that's...

The big eagle uttered a terrified cry, ten times louder than before, with its head up, straight into the sky.

God, what did it see?It must have misread it, was it the Twoleg?Is it the extremely terrifying two-legged beast back then?

Is it the horrible guy who flicked its head, squeezed its neck, licked it for nothing, and lifted it upside down to pluck its hair?

It's him, it must be him!
The big eagle checked again at a high altitude, and saw that the two-legged beast below was raising one hand to make a hair-plucking movement. The big eagle shrank its neck in fright and flew away into the distance.

Zhao Tong scolded on the ground: "You have no conscience, forget who saved your life back then!"

Ouyang Bei also said: "Sure enough, I have no conscience. It's a pity that I caught a hare and gave it to eat."

Yue Fei wondered, "Could it be that senior brother knows this big bird?"

Zhao Tong said angrily: "Go out and find a restaurant, sit and talk!"

After several people left, the big eagle circled back to the sky above the mansion from another place, and circled twice. The more it pondered, the more wrong it became.

In fact, such a large bird basically has some spirituality, and this vulture is even more human, but it is a bird after all, and there are some things that I can't figure out.

It does know that when Zhao Tong rescued it, it suffered the pain of pulling out the arrow, and the pain of stroking it as if it were another flat-feathered bird. It will never forget it.

Carved brains are not enough, I don't know why he saw Zhao Tun, but he knew that Zhao Tun left it and its master, and then it followed the master to this big city, and never saw this two-legged beast again.

Why did these two-legged beasts appear at this moment?No, no, it's going to find its owner and report this matter...

Xiao Min is sitting in the room in a daze at the moment, there is a bronze mirror in front of her, reflecting a flowery face, but there is no trace of joy.

She didn't know what her family was thinking, Jin soldiers were overwhelming, Daliao was in danger, today was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and she was going to marry Lin Ya in a few days.

Her head was in a mess, panicked as if she was going to lose her mind, and she remembered that person again, and remembered the letter that person sent a few years ago. The words in that letter were simply shocking. She was dubious. Testimony, but, but...

But there was no more news about that person. She heard that he went to put down the rebellion, went to hunt down the rebels, and... got married again!

This ruthless villain is really a villain. He deceived her to be young and ignorant, deceived her to be innocent and trustworthy, and deceived her to see that the world is dangerous.

Xiao Min was thinking sadly, when suddenly the door opened with a "squeak", and she saw the big carving come in from the bronze mirror, and then closed the door clumsily with her wings.

She suddenly wanted to cry, and when she saw the big bird, she thought of the man even more. This was left to her by the man, and she didn't care about it after leaving it, and the red horse.

The big eagle suddenly screamed "quack, croak, croak, croak, croak, croak, croak, croak, croak, croak, croak, croak, croak, croak, croak, croak, croak, croak, croak, croak, croak, croak, croak, croak, croak, croak, croak, croak, croak, croak, croak, croak, croak, croak, croak, croak, croak, croak, croak, croak, croak".

Xiao Min was stunned, she had never seen Da Niao like this, she seemed to be in a hurry, as if she wanted to express something to her.

She stretched out her hand and stroked Diao Yu gently, and said, "Do you have something to tell me?"

The big eagle nodded, it could understand, but it couldn't speak, only then did the eagle realize that it doesn't know the language of two-legged beasts.

It was so anxious that it spun around on the ground. It had no choice but to express the fact that the two-legged beast had come.

Xiao Min saw that it was in such a hurry, she couldn't help standing up and said: "What happened, I have never seen you like this before?"

The eagle screamed loudly, then stretched out its beak to bite Xiao Min's skirt, and dragged it outside. This was the only way the eagle could think of. Master, let's go to the street and have a look, that two-legged beast is here. .

Xiao Min was puzzled, and followed it outside.

The eagle is already very big in size, if it stands upright on the ground, it is almost as tall as a person, which is why it is called the divine eagle by the people in the mansion and even the people who know it in the city.

However, Xiao Min's figure is also extremely tall, it probably reaches the position below Xiao Min's ear, but Xiao Min thinks that this eagle can still grow, after all, the lifespan of a large eagle can be as long as 80 years, and this eagle is only about ten years old now. Not quite an adult yet.

One person and one bird walked out, the maids and servants saluted one after another on the way, and when they walked out of the mansion gate, the eagle looked at the street, there was no one else, it was dumbfounded, where did the two-legged beast go?
It rushed to the position where Zhao Tun was standing just now, flapping its wings, screaming and jumping, Xiao Min walked over and asked in doubt: "Here... did something happen just now?"

The eagle turned on the ground in a hurry, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, it must find the Two-legged beast. It seems that the owner has been looking for the Two-legged beast. If not, then go to the sky to see if you can find any traces of Twolegs.

It suddenly bent down, with its wings raised slightly, Xiao Min walked over to the eagle's back, and then saw the big eagle spread its wings, which were more than ten feet long, and flew straight into the air with Xiao Min...
