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

Chapter 417

With a gentle wave of his hand, the white clouds had gone away.

A group of four horses were running on the vast grassland, with the giant eagle flying in the sky, and Xiao Min was filled with thoughts.

Just leave like that?Is this... considered an elopement?

Green mountains stand on both sides, and white clouds temporarily accompany me, tugging at my heartstrings over and over again.

She looked at Zhao Tong's strong figure in front of her and bit her lip gently. "Meeting you is destined, even the hibiscus can't cover my face even if it comes out of the water. May the sun, moon and stars defend me."

The grass is green and the willows are thick, the green peaks are filled with wine poured from the jade pot, the music is loud and clear and goes with the wind, I know how high the mountain is...

Unconsciously, after a long time, there was a faint sound of shouting from behind. Although the sound was still far away, Zhao Tao frowned slightly, knowing that the pursuers had arrived.

He was riding Chi Ji. Although Chi Ji was fast, the other three horses were ordinary horses. He could only control them under pressure and could not leave the three of them behind.

Those three horses were rough horses, not war horses. They were purchased after abandoning the carriage in the Great Song Dynasty. They could be ridden, but their speed was worrying.

Originally, Zhao Tong thought that Xiao Min would sneak out of the city on the eagle without anyone noticing. Even if the four of them only ran for half a day, if someone chased them out of the capital, they would not be able to catch up.

And even if you want to change horses, you can't buy war horses in the Liao Kingdom. War horses are military control materials and cannot be obtained by ordinary people. If you buy them, you still have to buy a rogue horse.

If Xiao Min was asked to help with the purchase, he was afraid of alerting the enemy. After all, there were Yelu Dashi's spies everywhere in the Liaoxi County Prince's Palace. With Yelu Dashi's astuteness, he would react immediately once he got the news. He could not take this risk.

But a wise man will always make a mistake. After leaving the city, Zhao Tong suddenly realized something. If Yelu Dashi went to find Xiao Min today, wouldn't it be a one-in-a-million mistake?
But it's too late to say anything at this moment, it just depends on how many people the other party chases, and then adapt accordingly.

He said on the horse: "Don't worry about the back, wait until they catch up!"

Xiao Min said: "Erlang, there is a mountain col not far to the west in front of us."

Zhao Tong was immediately overjoyed when he heard this. He was afraid that if it was an open grassland without cover, he might fall into a crisis, but if there were mountains, trees and valleys, he would not be afraid of anything.

With a loud laugh, Zhao Tun said, "Let's go, let's go and have a look!"

The three of them nodded, changed direction, and headed straight to the southwest...

Yelu Dashi was extremely anxious at the moment. In order to catch up with Zhao Tuan in a hurry, he had no time to go to the military camp to mobilize troops after leaving the prince's palace, because he needed the order of Emperor Tianzuo to mobilize troops in the capital.

If he went to the palace to ask for orders, he would have to make up some explanations. After this, Zhao Tong would have gone to nowhere.

What he brought with him at this time were his own soldiers and the lush green forest that came to the house to celebrate.

He doesn't care about his dignity now. If he fails to pick up his bride when they get married tomorrow, he will be even more embarrassed than he is now!
After telling the story with some changes, these people were dumbfounded, but they also knew that this was an opportunity to make meritorious deeds, so they all geared up and asked for orders to come and chase the person.

So Yelu Dashi hurriedly pursued him with more than 500 soldiers, one to two hundred heroes, and a total of 800 people.

Naturally, the soldiers were all war horses, and some of the heroes' horses were better than war horses. They ran wildly all the way, and finally saw a few figures in the distance.

Yelu Dashi's face was extremely gloomy. He was so ashamed and humiliated. This was such a shame and humiliation!

He, Dashi Linya, the proud son of the Great Liao Dynasty, was actually abducted by someone the day before his marriage!
It was a big joke to spread it out. With his status, if he couldn't recover the princess, then this matter would probably be written in the history books, spread for thousands of years, and made people laugh for thousands of years.

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became. He felt extremely tight in his chest. He couldn't take a breath up or down. He looked up to the sky and roared: "Zhao Tong, stay alive!"

Although the two were still far apart, his angry voice spread to the front as the grassland was empty.

Zhao Tong heard it vaguely and couldn't help but smile and said: "Dashi Linya is chasing after him personally."

Xiao Min bowed his head and said nothing, and Zhao Tong added: "This person is also weird. Since he loves the country but not the beauty, why is he so angry? I'm afraid he loves his own face more than the country."

Ouyang Bei said from the side: "After the young master returns to Tokyo, he can ask the princess to write a letter to Emperor Liao to terminate the engagement. This is justifiable."

Zhao Tong said: "That's a good statement. The engagement will naturally be terminated. I think since Thirteenth Niang has left the Liao Kingdom, Emperor Tianzuo will agree to this matter."

Yue Fei said: "That's the case."

Several people turned around to observe. The pursuers from behind were getting closer and closer. Zhao Tao squinted and took a closer look. Seeing that there seemed to be less than a thousand people, he smiled and said, "Yelü Dashi is looking down on me."

Seeing his unfazed appearance, Xiao Min worriedly said: "Erlang, don't be careless. There are many capable people and strangers around Zhongde, so don't underestimate the enemy."

Zhao Tong smiled and said: "Don't underestimate the enemy, don't underestimate the enemy."

Xiao Min knew that he had martial arts skills, but he was always worried. He added, "The sect leader of Mount Baitou is in Beijing."

"Oh?" Zhao Tong said, "Mount Baitou has already fallen into the hands of the Kingdom of Jin. Hasn't this sect leader surrendered to the women?"

Xiao Min shook her head: "After the Jin soldiers took down Mount Baitou, the suzerain led a dozen or so disciples and was defeated back to Shangjing."

Zhao Tong thought for a moment and then said, "Thirteenth Mother, where are your two personal guards?"

There were always two old men following Xiao Min before, but they didn't see them this time when they came to Beijing.

"Xuan Shi and Ming Shi are guarding my father's tomb. They are both older. They traveled around with my father when they were young. They have hidden wounds on their bodies. I can't bear them to follow me around anymore." Xiao Min said sadly.

Zhao Tong nodded: "The Eighteen Flying Cavalry of the Liaoxi County King were famous back then, and it was also mentioned in the Dali King's letter. I didn't expect that there are only two left now."

Xiao Min said: "They don't know... they don't know I'm leaving."

Zhao Tong said: "It doesn't matter. Yelu Dashi is your father's only disciple. He has obtained all the true teachings from your father. Even if he just wants to look good, he will not embarrass them."

"Oh..." Xiao Min finally relaxed in his heart: "It's a pity that my father passed away early. I didn't receive any martial arts instruction from him. I just looked at the maps he left and learned some rough skills."

Zhao Tong asked curiously: "The prince of Liaoxi County is a martial arts master. What kind of martial arts is he good at? Has Thirteenth Mother ever learned it?"

Xiao Min said: "My father has learned a lot of things, but he is best at the palm technique, but the palm technique is so powerful that only women can practice it." Zhao Tong touched his chin: "The palm technique... what kind of palm technique? Is it better than holding a weapon? Is the blade even more powerful?"

Xiao Min said: "It's called Kanglong Palm. It's extremely strong and powerful. You can't practice it unless you have strong Qi and blood, otherwise it will damage your muscles and bones and cause endless troubles."

"High Dragon Palm..." Zhao Tong narrowed his eyes. He had never heard of this martial art. He was a little curious and asked, "What is Yelu Dashi's current state?"

Xiao Min said: "I...I never care about these things. I don't know how far his martial arts has been."

Zhao Tong nodded. At this time, the grassland ahead began to undulate. He could already see mountains and hills, with trees growing up and down, and weeds spreading endlessly, making it difficult to find the road...

Yelu Dashi was chasing after him. As he was getting closer and closer, Zhao Tong's cavalry got into the weeds and disappeared, and he suddenly felt angry.

The direction he was chasing now was not due south. According to common sense, Zhao Yu couldn't go this way. If Zhao Yu wanted to return to the Song Dynasty, he had to run all the way south, or east, because there were several large mountains to the east that were completely deserted. Everyone knows that the grassland has reached its end there, and it is impossible for anyone to go deep into the west.

But if Zhao Tong really goes eastward, he will not reach the mountains, and he will be overtaken by his own troops.

The way Zhao Tong is walking must have been directed by Xiao Min. After all, Xiao Min is familiar with the terrain around Shangjing. The hills and valleys in front of him have a name, called Biye Qiu. It is uneven and overgrown with trees, so the vision is extremely poor. It is difficult to see the people in front of you inside. It is very suitable for escaping or hiding in an ambush.

But Yelu Dashi was not afraid of this. He had 800 men and more than 500 soldiers. Although they did not have hand crossbows like the Song Dynasty, they all carried bows and arrows.

The remaining Jiang Hu Cao Mang has martial arts, and one of them can at least be equal to three soldiers. Some are so strong in martial arts that they can even defeat ten, or even dozens.

There are only four people on the other side, and after Xiao Min is removed, there are only three left. How can I deal with my seven or eight hundred people?

Therefore, he was not afraid of hiding an ambush at all, but was afraid that the other party would take advantage of the complex terrain of Biye Qiu to escape.

As for his anger, it was because Xiao Min pointed out that Zhao Tan should go here. Xiao Min was his fiancée and was about to get married. Not only did he elope with Zhao Tan, he actually pointed out his escape route.

Yelu Dashi thought of this, his eyes were about to burst, he looked up to the sky and screamed in grief and anger: "Princess, why did you betray me!"

No one responded to him, the vegetation was rustling, the breeze was gentle, and there was no trace of anyone ahead.

"Lin Ya, do you want to charge in?" Sitting on the horse next to Yelu Dashi was an old man with snow-white beard and hair, and a silver band wrapped around his forehead.

Yelu Dashi glanced at the old man, clasped his fists and said, "Sect Master Laobai is here!"

The old man returned the greeting: "Lin Ya is too polite. It's easy to find people with martial arts skills in places like this. Lin Ya is the one leading his own troops at the rear."

After that, the old man waved his hand: "All heroes, please follow me, rush into the hill, capture the thief, and offer it to Lin Ya."

Those Cao Mang heard the words and obeyed. Not all of them were the old man's subordinates, but the old man's status was transcendent in the world. He was the master of the Baitou Mountain. He not only had an official status, but also had extremely high martial arts skills. He was one of the few masters in Daliao. .

The old man led one or two hundred heroes to the front, followed by Yelu Dashi and five hundred soldiers, and entered Biye Qiu in a moment.

This Biye Hill is composed of hills of different sizes. You can also run horses, but the speed cannot be too fast. There are tall weeds and some shrubs everywhere.

The old man's name is Bai Danyang, and he is the eighth sect leader of Baekdu Mountain. His specialty martial arts are the Broken Gold Sword and Daxueshan Crazy Demon Fist.

These two martial arts are special skills of Baekdu Mountain, especially the broken gold and jade sword, and non-sect masters cannot practice it.

This sword technique is extremely domineering. It cannot be used by the ordinary single-sword Yanling sword. It requires a thick-backed sword like Zhanma Dao to use it.

And this sword is also difficult to practice. Although there are not many moves, only six moves, each move requires at least three years of practice, especially the first move of horizontal splitting on the horse. Practice from morning to evening at least for half a day.

Therefore, this sword is strong and powerful, and can be used by anyone on horseback or a horse. Once it cuts into a human body, it is not just a matter of chopping to death. It can break all the bones of a person's body with just an inch of gravity.

After rushing into Cui Ye Qiu, all I could see was the color of decay. Autumn was deep at this time, and the grass and trees had turned yellow, but they did not fall.

Bai Danyang held a heavy sword in front of him. Although he couldn't see the scene in the distance clearly, there were still some traces of Zhao Tong and others running past just now. He looked at it for a moment and shouted: "This way!"

After saying that, he took the lead and swung his knife forward to strike at the long grass. Before the knife touched the grass, the grass was blown away by the strong wind and then shattered directly.

His horse was fast, and it was not an ordinary war horse when he sat down. At this moment, he neighed and rushed over, followed closely by the people behind him.

Although Zhao Tong and others could not be seen, there were traces of crushing on the grass, which naturally gave him the direction. Bai Danyang relied on his master's martial arts skills to chase forward. After passing a small hill, the number of miscellaneous trees increased, and his speed slowed down a little. Slowed down.

But just as he passed a big tree, a star suddenly lit up on the tree. The star seemed to come from outside the sky, but it instantly grew bigger, exploded from the tree, stalked the wind, and headed straight towards Baidu. Go to Danyang.

"Okay..." Before he could say the word "courage", the sword came closer, and Bai Danyang was so frightened that the hairs all over his body stood up instantly.

As a master, he has experienced countless big and small battles in his life, and has fought against many sword masters. He has seen fast swords before, but he has never seen such a fast one!

Never seen before!
This was no longer a fast sword in the ordinary sense, it was simply like a tidal wave of lightning, which was beyond his understanding of the way of the sword.

Moreover, such a fast sword was used as a sneak attack, which was so shameless!

Needless to say, those who can use such a fast sword must have reached the level of a master in martial arts. Grandmasters all cherish feathers. I have never heard of a master who would hide a sneak attack!
This is why Bai Danyang dares to take the lead. If the opponent's three martial arts are not masters, then he is not afraid of anything, nor is he afraid of sneak attacks. If the opponent has masters, he will never make a sneak attack despite protecting his reputation.

What he didn't expect was that there was actually a master among the other party, and he was a master with swords. However, this master was so shameless that he hid in the trees and attacked his house secretly!

Bai Danyang felt as sad as if he had eaten ten thousand flies. No matter what he thought at the moment, it was useless, because the sword had already arrived. He had only seen such a fast sword in his life!
Rao is the leader of the Bai Danyang faction, a master of martial arts, well-informed, and experienced in hundreds of battles, but at this moment he still deeply felt the approach of death.

Can't dodge, he suddenly found that he can't dodge this sword!
As a master, he couldn't avoid this sneak attack with a quick sword!

If he couldn't dodge, he had to block. The heavy knife in his hand was raised almost instantly and moved towards his throat to protect it.

The sword arrived, but the heavy knife only had time to block half of it, but it seemed to be enough, because the sword hit the bottom of the throat.

Just when Bai Danyang breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes suddenly widened. He felt a chill on his neck, like ice soaked in snow, and subconsciously looked down. Inserted deep into his throat!
