There is a kind of scholar

Chapter 736 Yacheng, Hunxie King
After Nalan Yan left, Yan Dashan and Guan Ping returned not long after, and they had packed their luggage.

Su Xian ordered them to integrate the troops heading north to Liao.

In addition to the more than 30 Butterfly Valley masters, there are also the soldiers of the Hou Mansion who stayed here, as well as some internal guard killers, a total of more than [-] people.

Yan Dashan and Guan Ping took the order and left.

After a while, Tang Shujing came. She pushed the door open and said loudly: "Brother-in-law, I'm ready."

Su Xian raised an eyebrow and looked, and saw that there was indeed a small bundle hanging on her shoulder. From the look of it, she seemed to be going with her.

"You don't need to go on the Liao Kingdom trip. It's too dangerous. You should follow Master and the others back to the capital of God." Su Xian waved his hand.

"It's okay if I don't go, but you can't go either." Tang Shujing tightened the small baggage on her shoulders.

"Don't make trouble." Su Xian was looking at a map, confirming the route to the north, and waved his hand impatiently, as if to shoo away flies.

"I'm going!"

Tang Shujing raised her beautiful eyebrows and leaned over the map. She looked up at Su Xian and said, "I'm going to watch you and won't allow you to mess with people in Liao."

Su Xian sighed softly and said with a smile:
"You saw just now that Princess Ruyi of the Liao Kingdom is so ugly, like a beggar. Do you think my brother-in-law's taste is that bad?"

"In short, there are no beauties in the Liao Kingdom! Don't worry, Ansheng can return to the capital of the gods to ensure that my wife and your sister are safe, so that they don't have to worry..."

"..."

Just as he was talking, the door was pushed open from the outside with a creak, followed by the sound of footsteps entering the house.

Everyone turned to look, and then they were stunned.

The person who entered the house was Nalan Yan.

After taking a bath, she no longer looked like a beggar. She looked quite pretty if you looked closely.

Although her skin is not as fair and delicate as that of a woman from the Central Plains, it is better than that of a healthy one, and her muscular body is as tight and powerful as a female leopard, which is particularly eye-catching.

Su Xian and Tang Shujing looked away at the same time and looked at each other. Tang Shujing coughed and said, "Is this what you call 'no beauties in the Liao Kingdom'?"

"..."

After half an hour.

Su Xian and his party finally set off.

Yan Dashan, Yang Zhilan, Guan Ping, Tang Shujing and Nalanyan, as well as Butterfly Valley experts, soldiers of the Marquis Mansion, internal guard killers, etc., totaling more than two hundred people.

Tang Shujing finally got her wish and joined the team going north.

They pretended to be four independent caravans, and after bidding farewell to Li Qingniu, they headed north along the rugged mountain road.

It is worth mentioning that Zhou Wei also wanted to go to Liao Kingdom with him, but he was scolded by Li Qingniu and finally gave up.

Because the situation between Liang and Liao is already very critical, and Nalanjie has not yet found the last treasure map, Su Xian and his party need to rush to Liao as soon as possible.

Therefore, Su Xian decided not to return to Youzhou yet!
Instead, he went north through Shu, took advantage of the "Longyou Road" to Lanzhou, Liangzhou and other places, continued northward over the mountains, and finally secretly sneaked into the hinterland of the Liao Kingdom.

Along the way, especially after going deep into the hinterland of the Liao Kingdom, the journey was smooth because there was a "road leader" like Nalan Yan in the team...

finally reached!
Yacheng of Liao State is already in sight.

That was the scheduled meeting place with Nalanjie.

After they set out from Yuzhou, Shu State, they traveled thousands of miles and endured many hardships before finally reaching their destination.

This trip took a full ten days!

A whole ten days!
Looking back on these ten days, the situation in the world can be described as changing.

Especially on the border between Liang and Liao, the Liao Kingdom continued to increase its troops, and Liang was also making intensive preparations. The situation became increasingly tense, and the clouds of an unprecedented war hung over the two countries.

When Su Xian and others took advantage of Liangzhou to go north, they had heard about it——

There were local frictions between the two armies in the "Beiting Protector's Mansion" in the west, Lingzhou in Guannai Road in the east, and Shuozhou in Hedong Road in the east. They were testing each other's preparedness and suffered some casualties.

As for places such as Youzhou in Hebei Province further away, the situation is unknown, but it won't be much better if you think about it.

The current situation in today's world can be described as a storm that is about to come.

……

Liao.

stronghold.

In front of the city gate, merchants disguised as Su Xian and others are queuing up to enter the city.

The so-called "Yacheng" is actually the capital of the Liao Kingdom. The Liao Emperor and his royal family members, as well as the ministers of the Liao Kingdom, also live here. It is the center of the Liao Kingdom's court.

The name of Yacheng evolved from "Yazhang". The predecessor of the Liao Kingdom was a grassland tribe. Tribal leaders generally lived in luxurious tents. This was the earliest Yazhang.

As the tribe grew stronger and more prosperous, until the establishment of the Liao Kingdom, the Yazhang where the leader lived naturally became the Yacheng where the Liao Emperor lived...

The queue to enter the city was long.

Because the Liao army inspections at the city gate were very strict and scoldings were heard from time to time, this was a special period after all, so Su Xian and others could be said to be "following suit."

"There are only the last five days left for the Liao army to go south and invade the border. I hope we can dig out the treasure within five days and minimize the war."

Su Xian muttered secretly.

Then, he looked beyond the long queue in front and stared at the not very tall city wall of Yacheng. His eyes gradually became cold and stern, he secretly clenched his fists and said in a cold voice:

"King Nan Tu, and Nalan Xiong, you two evil father and son, I really want to send Zhi Lan to kill you as soon as we enter the city!"

"..."

Having said that, Su Xian was always rational. Even if Yang Zhilan could easily take off the heads of Nalan Xiong and his son, she could not do that.

Because it will scare the snake.

Moreover, the "Destroying Liang" faction occupies the majority in the Liao Kingdom. Whether they are relatives of the emperor or ordinary people, there are more than one million people in total. It is impossible to kill so many people at the same time, right?

Giving the Liao Kingdom a "change of days" is the safest way at the moment.

Let the "pro-Liang" faction take power and ascend to the throne of Liao Emperor, and then slowly reverse the Liao people's concept of "destroying Liang"...

As the team entering the city moved slowly, it was finally Su Xian's turn.

"Princess, are you sure we can enter the city safely?" Su Xian turned his head and looked at Nalan Yan beside him, feeling a little unsure.

Nalan Yan replied confidently:

"Don't worry. Although I, the princess, cannot reveal my identity, His Majesty has already decreed that all tribes doing business must not be blocked anywhere, but must be allowed unconditionally! We are dressed as tribesmen doing business, so there will be no problem."

"That's good." Su Xian nodded.

"..."

Finally approaching the city gate, Su Xian and others walked in front, followed by a carriage driven by a master of Butterfly Valley, which was loaded with "goods" produced by a certain tribe.

"Stop, what are you doing?"

More than a dozen city guards came forward, wearing armor and holding weapons in their hands, which were scimitars. The leader was a general, who looked at Su Xian and his party up and down.

Nalan Yan stepped forward, confidently stating their "identities", and then asked the general guarding the city to let them go.

Su Xian waited leisurely behind, thinking that Nalanyan was the princess of Liao Kingdom after all and grew up here, so there should be no problem for her to take action.

However, the general guarding the city glared and shouted loudly:

"You can't enter the city, just go back to where you came from!"

"What?"

Nalanyan's expression changed, and the princess was about to lose her temper on the spot, but she held it back at the last moment.

Su Xian and others were also stunned. What's going on?
Seeing that Su Xian and others were indifferent, the general guarding the city impatiently rebuked:

"Why are you still blocking the road? Didn't you see so many people behind you? Get out of here, or we will arrest you all and treat you like spies!"

"You..." Nalan Yan took a deep breath and tried to be calm: "His Majesty has already decreed that no tribe can be stopped from doing business. You should let it go immediately!"

"Hey? You dare to talk back? Come here, arrest them all." The general who defended the city waved his arm, and dozens of soldiers holding scimitars gathered around them. Su Xian and others were in a worrying situation.

"..."

Nalan Yan, Nalan Yan, you are still the princess of Liao Kingdom, but now it seems that you are really not good at it... Su Xian shook his head and cast a look at Yan Dashan beside him.

Yan Dashan understood, and while walking towards the city-defending general, he took out a huge gold nugget from his clothes, handed it over in a vague way, and said with a smile:
"General, don't be angry. This child is used to being arrogant at home and has never seen much of the world. General, please ignore the villain's faults and don't be like her!"

"Good to say."

The general guarding the city glanced around and saw that no one was paying attention. Lightning took the huge gold nugget and put it in his bag. Although his face relaxed, he did not order the soldiers to retreat, but smiled and said:

"It's really hard for brothers to be exposed to the wind and sun in this cold weather. It would be nice if we could have a bowl of hot mutton soup."

"..."

Beside, Nalan Yan's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Through bribery, Yan Dashan was able to get more money than her, a noble princess of the Liao Kingdom. Most importantly, Yan Dashan also said that she was...a child who was used to being pampered at home? !

This is unbearable.

However, Yang Zhilan suddenly stepped forward and pulled her back with iron-like hands, she couldn't resist... This made her wake up, she didn't dare to speak nonsense, but her face was still dark.

Yan Dashan had a look of pain on his face, but he still took out a larger gold ingot from his clothes and handed it over quietly.

The general who defended the city was very satisfied. After pocketing the ingot of gold, he smiled heartily and said, "I think you are all honest businessmen. Please step aside and let us go."

"Yes." The soldiers who besieged Su Xian and others retreated like a tide, and the crisis was relieved.

"..."

Next, without any surprise, Su Xian and his party successfully entered the city.

After entering the city, Su Xian looked around at the scenery inside Yacheng.

The road under the feet is paved with bluestone, which is fairly regular. The buildings on both sides of the street are almost the same as those in the Central Plains, except that there are many nomadic characteristics.

However, the planning of the houses is relatively chaotic. In some places, tents are even set up. There are many people walking on the road. Most of the clothes are simply processed from cattle and sheep fur.

In addition, as they went deeper, they also discovered that a herd of sheep, a herd of cattle, or a herd of horses passed by on the crowded streets from time to time, which seemed to suggest that humans and animals lived together.

Therefore, you must be careful on the road, because if you don't pay attention, you will get hit, step on a lump...that thing.

"Where is the meeting place? Prince Hunxie's Mansion? Isn't it too ostentatious for us to go directly to the Prince's Mansion?" Su Xian looked sideways at Nalan Yan.

"Do not."

Nalan Yan's face was still dark, she shook her head and said: "Prince Nantu and his son have never given up monitoring us. The meeting place is not in the palace, but in another secret place."

"That's okay... there won't be any problems next, right? Is the young prince ready?" Su Xian asked again.

"Don't worry, after we just entered the city, I sent someone to notify my brother. He should be waiting at the meeting place."

Su Xian looked at her face as black as the bottom of a pot and frowned:
"But I always feel that... something unexpected will happen next."

"What do you mean? I have lived in Yacheng since I was a child. Could it be that I can't even arrange this little thing?" Nalan Yan was angry, as if she had been stepped on.

"We just entered the city. All I know is that without the two ingots of gold from Dashan, we wouldn't be able to enter the city." Su Xian glanced sideways with a sarcastic smile.

"You..." Nalan Yan was speechless about to argue. After giving Su Xian a hard look, she simply closed her mouth tightly and led the way sulkingly.

"..."

Everyone continued walking for a while.

Suddenly, Nalan Yan stopped in front of an ordinary house.

Su Xian thought that the meeting place should be here.

"come in."

As expected, Nalanyan pushed the door open and invited Su Xian and others to come in while looking around.

For the sake of convenience, Su Xian only brought Yang Zhilan, Yan Dashan, Guan Ping, and several carefully selected Butterfly Valley masters, a total of less than ten people.

Of course, Tang Shujing is also among them. After all, she is my sister-in-law, so it is better to keep her with me for protection.

The remaining more than [-] people were divided into several teams and looked for inns to stay nearby. They were all very close to each other so that they could respond at any time.

After Su Xian and others entered this ordinary residence, they immediately looked around. Yan Dashan and others were alert and kept Su Xian and Tang Shujing in the middle.

boom!
Nalanyan closed the door and led the way:
"My brother and father are in the front living room, please come with me."

"Is King Hunxie here too?"

Su Xian was surprised, Yu Yandashan and others looked at each other and followed him.

It doesn't matter that King Hunxie is here. After all, he will be the one who ascends to the throne after everything is done. It would be better to get to know this person as soon as possible.

Su Xian had heard someone say before that King Hunxie belonged to the "reluctant pro-Liang faction" in the Liao Kingdom. He was an experienced man and had a changeable style of conduct. When dealing with such a person, you must be careful.

Soon after entering the living room, Su Xian took a quick look and saw a rough-looking old man sitting in the main seat.

This person has dreadlocks, bright eyes, slightly gray hair, and a slightly stout body. His appearance is very similar to that of the Nalan brothers and sisters.

This should be the legendary Hunxie King!
Beside King Hunxie's chair, a handsome white-faced scholar stood there, seven feet tall, wearing a Confucian shirt and holding a folding fan. He seemed to be knowledgeable about books and etiquette, and was gentle and elegant.

This is Nalan Festival, Prince Hunxie.

Nalanyan's face was finally no longer dark, and she was no longer nervous as she had been along the way. She was like a child who had returned home, and introduced the two parties very casually.

"Su Xian, a native of Yingzhou, Daliang, pays homage to King Hunxie of the Liao Kingdom!" Su Xian stepped forward to pay homage.

"Are you Su Xian?"

King Hunxie looked Su Xian up and down with a satisfied smile. He glanced sideways at Nalan Yan, and the smile on his face became even more satisfied. He stretched out his hand to support her and said:

"No need to be polite, please get up. Your name is well known in Daliao! But I didn't expect that the person who single-handedly disrupted Daliao would be so young and talented, which is really good!"

　Thanks to "nice Ma Xiansen" for the reward, and thank you all for your voting support!
