"Wow!" With the sound of the pulling of the iron chain, the wooden door of the Shangjing Dungeon was opened, and the dazzling light immediately shone into this dark place. The shadow creeps|moves, as if countless ground ghosts were awakened.
A bald old man limped down carrying two wooden barrels. The prison fences on both sides soon posted many people who were so dirty that they could not even see their skin. "Fan...fan..." Khitan with various accents came, and they seemed to only know this Khitan word.
The old man remained unmoved, and scooped a spoonful of slimy in each of the outstretched tiles.
The bald old man walked to a cell and couldn't help but peek inside, because the other cells were closed with many people, and there was only one person in this room. It was a man, with disheveled hair that seemed to have been in a bun, without shaved head. He sat there in a daze and didn't stretch out his bowl.
"Eat?" The old man called.
The Han'er came back to his senses, staring blankly at the contents of the wooden barrel, still emitting a stale stench, and Han'er's throat squirmed. He sighed, stretched out a bowl weakly, and said in a skillful Khitan language: "Give some water, thank you."
After hearing this, the old man gave him a cold look and did not speak, so he scooped a spoonful of muddy water into the bowl.
At this moment, the bright hole above dimmed slightly, and several people appeared there. The old man turned around and looked over: "Who?"
The Khitan warrior guarding the door: "King Song (Yelv Xiyin), King Yue (Yelv must take photos) come here!"
The old man threw down his spoon and bent down to face it.
"Where?" At present, a big man with a hard beard asked. That man was one of Yelu Abaoji's grandsons, Yelu Xiyin. Behind him is the Yue King Yelu Bisha, his face and robe dressing are much gentler.
"Lord, come here." An official said.
A group of people walked over, and the man inside was putting down the bowl of muddy water. The official outside said again: "This person is Fan Zhongyi."
Fan Zhongyi sat on the ground for a moment, then suddenly got up, slapped on the wood with a slap, his expression agitated, his eyes red. The guard was taken aback, and quickly stood in front of the nobles, shouting: "Why are you crazy?"
Fan Zhongyi shouted in a hoarse voice: "King Song, King Yue, I have important things to confess, Yang Dagon is a traitor! Don't believe him, Khitans are not more trustworthy than Han'er..."
Yelü Xiyin pushed away the guard in front, and looked at Fan Zhongyi with a sneer. Fan Zhongyi stared again: "I want to see Duke Xiao, let me see Duke Xiao!"
Unexpectedly, Yelv Xiyin didn't pay attention to him at all, and turned to ask Yue Wang: "Why do you still keep this traitor?"
The king of Yue thought for a while and said: "It is said that such characters as Fan Zhongyi can't bear the heavy responsibility of Hedong's defeat. After being taken into prison, they were not executed in time for fear that there would be an instigator."
Yelü said in displeasedness: "Get him out, and his whole family, to show the public alive!"
The King Yue hurriedly persuaded: "The King Song had better not make such a big battle. There are many Han people living in the southern city of Beijing, all of whom are serving for Daliao..."
Fan Zhongyi suddenly fell to his knees, and said anxiously: "Lord Lord, please spare your life! Forgive my children and let me do anything, I'm still useful!"
"Dogs are not as good as that. What's the use? Dogs will not harm their master." Yelv Xiyin was angry and contemptuous.
Fan Zhongyi hurriedly said: "Please let me see Duke Xiao!"
The king of Yue also persuaded in a deep voice: "Let’s not care about this, we are still going to deal with the people on Wang’s account. I heard that Xiao Siwen has gone to Xu Guo to negotiate a peace. Once they vacate their hands, they will definitely return to Beijing to deal with it. We."
"Skin it!" Yelvxi said, "Look for someone who is skilled in skinning sheep, don't let them die too happily." After that, he left.
The king of Yue stayed for a while, and said to Fan Zhongyi: "The king of Song has broken with Wang Zhang, how can I see it?"
Fan Zhongyi desperately hit the wooden fence with his thin body, yelling and crying, his voice echoed in the dark dungeon, like a ghost crying.
……
Chanzhou City on the south bank of the Yellow River. Xiao Simwen and other Liao envoys were not immediately summoned formally. The person who received them was the official of the Ministry of Rites Lu Duoxun. Lu Duoxun must first negotiate with Xiao Simwen and others privately.
At this time, Xiao Siwen was very dissatisfied. He picked up a piece of paper, pointed to the surface of the paper and asked Ludoxen: "What does the brotherhood mean, why did the Emperor Daliao subdue to his younger brother?"
"Don't be restless, Xiaogong, don't be restless." Lu Duoxun was very calm, and he said in a calm tone: "It is clear that the country of Korea will be at a disadvantage when it comes to reconciliation. If Xu Liao and Liao do not turn their enemies into friends and are worthy of being brothers, how does the Da Xu court explain to Korea?"
Lu Duoxun’s tone gradually increased, and his expression became serious: "The two countries did not call the father, son, monarch, or uncle and nephew the gift of generation (the Liao and the Northern Han kingdoms), but the gift of brothers of the same generation. Duke Xiao and the emperors and ministers of the Liao Kingdom should put aside their old ideas and look at the current strengths and weaknesses. Who is attacking and who is struggling to support it? Liao does not claim to be a brother, so dare to continue to be a big brother?"
Siu Siwen stood up suddenly, "I dare not agree to this covenant!"
Lu Duoxun stopped his sharp gaze, and then persuaded: "Duke Xiao is better to weigh and consider before expressing his position. The Liao State just suffers a small loss from its fame, and he did not ask the Liao State to pay tribute... At this time, the Liao Kingdom still wants to take advantage of it, so what else to talk about, Xiao Gong might as well take the letter back and ask the Lord of Liao to continue to gather soldiers to fight!"
Xiao Siwen took a deep breath, as if to suppress the evil gas, and said: "Let us discuss it."
"Send off!" Ludoxon shouted decisively.
When Xiao Siwen returned to the hall, he immediately annoyed: "If this old man of the covenant agrees, wouldn't it be a sinner?"
Yang Dagon said calmly: "Lu Duoxun is right to say that the situation is like this. If Daliao doesn't suffer a loss, it seems impossible. Of course, we would rather give some goods, but the tribute is true. How is it different from recognizing the high status of the two countries?"
Xiao Siwen still doesn't let go, he fully understands what responsibility he will bear...In fact, it's a scapegoat! Negotiations are not his proposition.
The four of them didn't even care about dinner in the hotel, and they argued until midnight. Later, I was tired, and several people leaned on their chairs and remained silent.
At this moment, there was a sudden "ah" outside! Xiao Siwen and others were startled, and they all sat up straight and listened to the movement outside. The shouting continued, and there seemed to be a fight.
A person stood up and said, "Go and see what's going on."
Xiao Siwen said: "Beware of fraud."
As soon as the voice fell, there was a "bang, bang..." door clap outside. Then there was a loud bang, the door latch broke, and a sturdy taker who was holding a cherry gun staggered in, and then two more people came in.
Yang Dagon has already fucked|lifted a round stool in his hand, and shouted in Chinese: "Who is coming?"
The Takeo with the cherry gun came in backwards, turned his head and said: "There is an assassin! Let's guard the door, wait and look at the window!"
Xiao Siwen was observing the sudden incident suspiciously. With a sudden "bang", he saw the Wu Fu who had just spoken on his back, with a crossbow bolt stuck in his forehead, and his feather tail was still shaking due to fierce force, and a pool of blood Dipping out from under Natakeo's helmet. The remaining two takers hurriedly closed the door and stood ready.
Xiao Siwen stared at the corpse, and forgot to close his mouth. He originally thought it was a trick, but Xu Guowei was killed alive! Xiao Siwen realized the seriousness of the matter.
At this moment, Yang Dagon rushed up, pulled out the single knife from the waist of the corpse, turned around and threw it in front of Xiao Siwen. Then he drew a shuttle spear from the man's back and threw it to the other messenger. He took the cherry spear in his hand.
"Cracking|crack..." A short crossbow suddenly came through the window! Except for a few pieces of wood, the window was pasted with paper.
Xiao Siwen hadn't reacted, his face was hot, and a bolt of crossbow flew past his face. Xiao Siwen's expression changed, "Kang Dang" overturned the coffee table and hid behind. Upon seeing this, Yang Dagon and others also drew a scoop in the same way, and quickly overturned the coffee table.
"Hey!" An axe swung across the window, and the wooden slats and window paper were swept everywhere. Then a big man in black came out half-length.
"Drink!" Yang Dagon yelled, violently grabbing the cherry gun and stabbing. Unexpectedly, with a "ding", the cherry spear stabbed into the armor, and the man was wearing plate armor under his black robe! The metal on the neckline flashed under the light.
Yang Dagon glared his eyes, spread his legs to stand on the lower plate, and slammed it again. The man waved his axe, and it was a beat later. This time the cherry spear was inserted into the man's armor, the man screamed in pain, the axe fell, and the wooden handle of the cherry spear was broken with a "bang"!
At this moment, the remaining two guards rushed over, and the strong man waved again, "cang" on an iron-skin round wooden shield, hitting one of the guards back a few steps, and the other shook. Qi single-handedly chopped over. At this time, other black-robed assassins also crawled in from the window.
The guards stepped back to protect Xiao Simwen and the others, and angrily said to the two people over the window: "You and Da Xu soldiers killed Da Xu soldiers!"
The strong man said: "You are protecting the thief!"
The guard said: "The responsibility lies. Where do you put the official will?"
Yang Dagon has abandoned the wooden handle and resumed exercises| set up a round stool and shouted: "Go to the bedroom!" After that, he turned around with Xiao Siwen and ran. The two guards also ran back and turned around with their swords and shields to fight.
"Clang!" There was a violent metal crash at the door, sparks flashed, and then there was a roar, "Kang...ah!"
There was a "da da da..." hurried sound outside, which was the movement of many horses hooves on the brick floor. Yang Dagon said: "The cavalry is here! Hold the door for help."
This bedroom has only one rear window, which opens very high and has a small opening. There is almost only this small door in the gap, which can be held by a few people. The soldiers at the door are wearing plate armor. It is not difficult to delay a little.
Xiao Siwen ran here in a panic, and only then recovered a little bit. Yang Dagon is indeed very good at using soldiers when he is in a hurry. No matter what, Yang Dagon did save his life tonight!
