Tianlong Sword Guanghan

78. Chapter 77

While eating snacks, AhZi said intermittently: "After we separated last year, my brother-in-law and I rushed all the way to the palace. Who knew that we both hurried and took a step too late. We didn't know about Murong until we arrived at the palace. The old thief has already come."

Li Xiaoyao refilled her another cup of tea, and said, "We already know that, sister, do you know that Murong Bo persuaded Uncle Xiao?"

Ah Zi shook her head and said: "I don't know about this. When my brother-in-law and I arrived at the palace, the old man had already set off for the capital. My brother-in-law wanted to catch up, but who would have thought that the soldiers sent to meet my sister would return and escort her to the north. An eminent monk met an ambush on the road, although the four masters were skilled in martial arts and repelled the enemy, the brother-in-law was really worried, so he went back to pick up his sister."

Xuan Ku said: "Amitabha, Feng'er traveled day and night to protect him, but the whole journey was uneventful afterwards. Thinking about it now, I'm afraid it was a trick to divert the tiger away from the mountain."

AhZi knew that this was Xiao Feng's master, so naturally she didn't dare to offend, she said respectfully: "Master Xuan Ku is right, when brother-in-law picks up sister and returns to the palace, the old man is already far away, we can't catch up.

After the masters returned, for five days in a row, there were people spying on the palace at night. My brother-in-law attacked several times. The enemy was very obedient and just watched from a distance.Now, we are even more afraid to separate from our sister. "

Li Xiaoyao said: "Sure enough, the eldest brother is under the trap of rats, and he must take his sister-in-law along with him."

AhZi took another bite of the fruit, nodded repeatedly, and said, "Exactly. Later, my brother-in-law had to take my sister to go to Beijing together. My sister couldn't bear the hardships of running around, so we walked very slowly." When we arrived in Beijing, we received news that the old man had reached an agreement with His Majesty the Emperor, and the Northern and Southern Courts would join forces to attack the Song Dynasty together."

She lowered her head and said, "It's a pity that it's a done deal at this time. My brother-in-law entered the palace several times and argued with the emperor and the old man several times, but they all broke up." She said angrily, "It's all my fault. I'm not good at riding. If you can be faster, maybe you will stop the old man."

Li Xiaoyao said: "Sister, Murong Bo is at the heart of this matter, he must have come up with an irresistible reason, that's why old man Xiao acted like this."

At the side, Elder Xi was very impatient, he said: "Now the fire is imminent, and it doesn't matter how Murong Bo persuaded Mr. Xiao, let's rescue him first."

Li Xiaoyao said to Ah Zi: "Sister, how dare the Emperor of Liao Kingdom turn against elder brother? Isn't he afraid that Uncle Xiao will turn against him?"

Ah Zi lowered her head and said in a muffled voice: "I don't know what the emperor of Liao Kingdom thinks, but this is a good thing done by the old thief Murong. He poisoned his brother-in-law with the 'sorrowful crisp breeze', but he didn't know what he said The rhetoric made sense, old man, we were locked up in the palace, and I escaped in the name of taking care of my sister while my sister was having a baby."

Li Xiaoyao didn't wait for Ah Zi to continue, so he hurriedly interrupted: "Is this 'sorrowful crisp breeze' brought out by Murong Bo?" relieved.Said: "Fortunately, Xixia has never participated in this matter. It is really the blessing of the ancestors!"

Li Xiaoyao looked at Azi curiously, and asked, "Sister, but I don't know if my sister-in-law gave birth to a boy or a girl?" Azi finally had a smile at this moment, and she said with a gentle face: "My sister gave birth to a boy or a girl?" For dragon and phoenix twins, the girl is an older sister, with eyebrows and eyes very much like an older sister, and the boy is a younger brother, so he is as strong as his brother-in-law."

Li Xiaoyao also smiled when he heard this, and quickly said to Boss Wu: "Old Wu, remember to send me some interesting treasures that were enshrined in the Vulture Palace. I want to give them gifts!" Boss Wu quickly agreed, He ran out in a hurry again.

Li Xiaoyao asked Eunuch Yu to show the topographic map of the Liao Kingdom's imperial palace, and asked Ah Zi to circle the location where Xiao Feng's family was trapped, and said to Eunuch Yu, "Old Yu, we are all reckless, what should we do now? Make up an idea, first say yes, I will definitely save my elder brother." All the elders of the beggar gang heard this and responded one after another.

Eunuch Yu wondered: "Shangjing of the Liao Kingdom is thousands of miles away, and it has penetrated into the enemy's country. If our family sends troops and horses, I'm afraid..." Li Xiaoyao reached out to stop Eunuch Yu, and said, "Old Yu, don't be joking. The Song Dynasty really has such soldiers and horses, and the Youyun Sixteen Prefectures have long been surnamed Zhao. We'd better go by ourselves."

Yu Gonggong said: "Okay, then I would like to ask all the martial arts heroes who are imprisoned, let's go to the dragon pool and tiger den together."

Li Xiaoyao wondered: "Old Yu, aren't you here to supervise the army? How can you go with us?"

Eunuch Yu raised his head and chest, and said loudly: "Our family is ordered by the emperor to guard the Yanmen Pass, so as to restrain the soldiers and not allow a single soldier to cross the border into Liao. The common people of the Li people. Now Yanmenguan city is high and deep, and the guards just need to stick to it to be safe. It doesn't matter if I am here or not.

The one who is going to Liao with you now is not the eunuch who supervises the army at Yanmen Pass, but a good friend of Brother Li. He can go to mountains of swords and seas of fire with his best friends, and fight the enemy side by side.How happy life is to have this joy! "After he said these words, his heart was full, and he was so happy that he couldn't express it. He raised his head and laughed loudly.

Although everyone listened to his shrill laughter, although it was extremely harsh, the heroic tone in his tone was not inferior to that of a stalwart husband.Li Xiaoyao laughed loudly, grabbed his shoulders, gave a thumbs up, and said, "Old Yu, a good man."

Eunuch Yu explained to the general guard of Yanmen Gate, and then left the city gate together with Li Xiaoyao and others.Unexpectedly, Tong Guan also followed up secretly, and Eunuch Yu said angrily: "Going to Beijing now, you are close to death, why are you still following me? It is right to save your life and repay the emperor's favor!"

Tong Guan smiled slightly, and said softly: "Godfather, it's lonely on the road to Huangquan, there is always someone serving tea and water in front of you." Eunuch Yu took a deep look at him, the corners of his eyes were moist, and said in a trembling voice: "Okay, you You're a good boy, we, the old and the young, and the disabled, let's live and die together."

that night.Then they left Yanmen Pass and went out all the way day and night, avoiding the main road and taking the small road.Go to Liao Kingdom Shangjing.The more people walked north, they saw that there were many soldiers and horses gathered along the way, countless camps, continuous, with more than a thousand soldiers stationed in the big ones, and hundreds of soldiers and horses in the small ones.Yu Gonggong was very worried when he saw it.

After walking like this for more than ten days, there were also traces of Liao cavalry on the small road. The people had no choice but to hide the horses in the dense forest, and assigned a few people to guard them. , all the way north.

Fortunately, all of them are martial arts masters. After walking through the mountains for several days, they finally saw the city wall of Shangjing.Everyone hid in the mountains that night, looking at the dark city wall in the distance, resting quietly and recharging their energy.

Li Xiaoyao pulled Eunuch Yu and the members of the Shaolin Beggar Clan to sit together behind a rock, looking at the capital city in the distance, Elder Wu smacked his lips and said, "His grandma, old Wu, I can make a big fuss in the Shang capital of the Liao country in my life." One match is enough to honor the ancestors." All the elders of the Beggar Clan nodded their heads one after another, and looked at the capital city, showing eager expressions.

Li Xiaoyao and Yu Gonggong frowned and remained silent for a long time. They both sighed together and said together: "Difficult, difficult, difficult." After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled.Elder Wu was confused and asked, "Brother Li, what kind of charades are you playing?"

Abbot Xuanci said: "Benefactor Li, for the benefactor, it's just a matter of resolving the first difficulty, it just takes more time. The second and third difficulties are really as difficult as reaching the sky."

Elder Wu's eyes widened, and he said to Elder Xi: "Brother Xi, did I have to drive for days and lose energy, did I miss a passage just now? Why can't they understand what they said at all?"

Elder Xi said unhappily: "A few of them add up to five hundred minds, I don't bother to listen. Old Wu, your wisdom is limited, I advise you better not to listen and not to think." After finishing speaking, he fit himself on the ground Lie down, close your eyes, and fall asleep immediately.

Elder Wu refused to let go, grabbed Abbot Xuanci's sleeve, and said: "Abbot Xuanci, please explain clearly." Xuanci couldn't resist him, so he said softly: "Old monk and benefactor Li, in the place of benefactor There are three difficulties. The first thing is how we will enter the city with hundreds of people."

Li Xiaoyao said: "This is the old den of the Khitan people. Hundreds of us from the Central Plains ran into the city in one go. It is too conspicuous. It is possible to enter the city through the four gates in batches, but it will take some time."

After hearing this, Elder Wu lowered his head and thought for a while, without any clue, he raised his head and asked, "What about the second difficulty?" Eunuch Yu said, "Naturally, the imperial palace of the Liao Kingdom is heavily guarded. It's easy, but how to get Xiao Shizi's family out is another difficulty."

Elder Wu said: "What's so difficult about this? As long as you get rid of... Xiao Daxia's poison, how can he be trapped in the world?" Li Xiaoyao said with a headache: "I brought a little 'sorrowful breeze' this time." And the antidote, but the amount is too small, if you want to use 'Sorrowful Breeze' to clear the way, it will not work. Besides, my sister-in-law and two babies are not as capable as my elder brother."

Elder Wu shook his head and said, "Then what is the third difficult thing?"

With a sullen face, Li Xiaoyao said slowly: "If all goes well, we rescued the eldest brother's family, but after leaving the city, we are now two-legged, with women and children, how can we get rid of the enemy's fine horses? It's the third hardest."

After hearing this, everyone thought hard, but they couldn't figure it out.Elder Xu suddenly said: "This old man has a stinking method, which can solve the first difficulty for the big guy."

Li Xiaoyao was overjoyed, and quickly asked: "I don't know how to plan?" Elder Xu said: "We are beggars, and we are used to drilling dog holes, but you don't know that this city wall also has dog holes."

As soon as he said this, all the elders of the Beggar Clan suddenly realized, and Elder Wu even slapped his thigh and said, "Oh, why didn't I think of it?" Seeing strange eyes from everyone, he said, "Every city will There are several culverts that discharge sludge and feces, and such culverts usually have narrow openings, so it is naturally difficult for a large army to pass through, but it is safe for a few people with strong martial arts." After finishing speaking, he looked at Li Fu Minyi, behind Xiaoyao, showed hesitation, and said, "It's just that most of this underground drain has sewage up to the waist, and the smell is unbearable."

Fu Minyi frowned and pondered, and was about to speak, when Li Xiaoyao stopped her with her hand, and said, "It's okay, Sister Fu brought the sisters of Jiutian Jiubu, and entered the city empty-handed from the four city gates without weapons. You are all women, and the enemy will not be too vigilant .As for the weapons, just follow us along this culvert, we just need to discuss where to meet in the city."

Eunuch Yu said: "Okay, the first difficult task is done. But the other two difficult matters are very difficult. We have to think carefully about how to rescue Mrs. Xiao and her child."

Everyone thought hard for half the night, without a clue, Elder Wu said carelessly: "His grandma, I've lost my mind thinking about it. If you want me to say, let's go to the city first, it's really not possible, save Xiao... the hero Afterwards, if we didn’t do it, we continued to tie up the emperor of the Liao Kingdom, and exchanged a big emperor for three young women and children. I still don’t believe that the Khitan people don’t do this kind of business.”

As soon as he said this, everyone in the room was used to being lawless. People like Li Xiaoyao, who acted recklessly, had their eyes glowing. Even the elderly like Elder Xu, Abbot Xuanci, etc., didn't think there was anything wrong with it. , Silently thinking about acting like this, what chance should one's side have to win and so on.

After a while, Li Xiaoyao slapped the boulder with his palm, and said, "His grandma, as the saying goes: 'Support the bold to death, and starve the timid to death.' In my opinion, that's all. Let's enter the city. Check it out. If it will take time for the Liao Kingdom to send troops, then we will take care of it slowly, and if it is urgent, then we will not be polite!" He stretched out his hand, and took off the luggage that he had been carrying all the time from the horse's back Throwing it on the ground, the mouth of the bag was not tied properly, so when it fell like this, several things fell out.

The elders of the Beggars' Clan were the most impatient, and quickly stretched their heads to look, but there was a short stick, a rope, half a brick, and a sack on the ground.
