A knife in love

Chapter 2284
After hearing Li Qiufeng's words, Murong Danyan became very anxious.She knew that if the soldiers and horses in the city came out, Li Qiufeng and Qi Jiu alone would definitely not be able to stop them.Even if the two can kill hundreds of enemies, they will inevitably be killed by the enemy in the end.With the martial arts of Li Qiufeng and Qi Jiu, it is not difficult to escape.But in order to allow himself, Wang Xiaoyu, and Feng Wei to escape, the two must fight to the death.As for what Li Qiufeng said to join him after killing the enemy army, it was just to comfort himself.

Thinking of this, Murong Danyan pulled out his long sword with his right hand, and said in his mouth: "Mr. Qi, Sister Xiaoyu, and Mr. Feng go first. Brother Li and I are here to resist the enemy."

Seeing that Murong Danyan refused to leave first, Li Qiufeng was anxious, and was about to persuade her not to be stubborn, but Murong Danyan hurriedly said: "Brother Li, you and I were besieged by countless soldiers in Jingxin Temple before, and we know these things in the illusion. The means of a sergeant. Although Mr. Qi is highly skilled in martial arts, he has never fought against these ghostly sergeants, so he is easily confused by Yelubei. Wouldn't it be a big mistake to kill each other? So let Mr. Qi protect Sister Xiaoyu and go first, and Brother Li and I will defend against the enemy here!"

After Murong Danyan finished speaking, Li Qiufeng was taken aback, thinking that Miss Murong's words were very reasonable.But if I want to stay and resist the enemy, I already have the will to die.It is absolutely impossible for Murong Danyan to die with him.Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng was about to speak, when Wang Xiaoyu said loudly: "Hero Li, we have said before that we must live and die together, why do you have to bear it alone when it comes to life and death? My martial arts are not as good as you You and Sister Murong, but you can't run away when you meet the enemy. If you want to die here today, everyone should die together. Why do you have to run away again, and you still can't escape Yelubei's murderous hands in the end?!"

After Wang Xiaoyu finished speaking, Qi Jiu and Feng Wei nodded in agreement, and they both wanted to stay and fight the enemy with Li Qiufeng.Seeing that everyone was so stubborn, Li Qiufeng didn't know how to persuade them to be good.At this moment, the two heavy city gates were opened.Li Qiufeng was anxious and was about to scold Murong Danyan loudly when five or six horses came out from behind the city gate.

Seeing this situation, Li Qiufeng felt chills, thinking that the enemy cavalry had rushed out, even if Murong Danyan and others were willing to escape at this time, it was too late.Thinking of this, he was extremely depressed, many past events flashed before his eyes, and his body trembled slightly.

It's just that after the five or six horses left the city gate, the knights on the horses walked slowly, and there were no cavalry behind them.Li Qiufeng was taken aback, thinking to himself, could it be that the five or six people who rode out of the city on horseback were all powerful generals?Otherwise, why didn't Yelubei order the army out of the city to besiege, and only sent five or six people to challenge us?
Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng looked intently, and saw five people riding out of the city on horseback, all of them wearing bright red brocade robes.The leader was wearing a high black crown, and his demeanor was very majestic.The four people behind them also looked solemn, and the mounts under their legs were all tall horses, which were not ordinary horses at a glance.

Seeing that these five people did not look like martial arts masters, but rather high officials in the court, Li Qiufeng was startled and wondered what Yelubei was planning.Wang Xiaoyu couldn't help but said to Murong Danyan: "These five guys are dressed in gorgeous clothes, they look like actors on the stage. Could it be that Yelubei, an old thief, likes that Li Cunxu, who likes to sing and watch operas?"

Seeing the five men in brocade robes riding closer and closer, Li Qiufeng hurriedly lowered his voice and said to the people around him: "I don't know what Yelubei is planning, we must be careful not to be fooled by the enemy, otherwise But it’s too late to regret.”

As soon as Li Qiufeng finished speaking, the five men in brocade robes had already reached a distance of three feet in front of everyone, and all of them restrained their mounts.The leading man in Jinpao was about 50 years old, with a solemn look on his face.I saw him sitting on the horse, holding a scroll in both hands, glanced at everyone, then slowly opened the scroll, and said loudly: "Under the door, a visitor from afar goes to Liao, and he should give a banquet to reward merits, and he will be allowed to enter the palace. Manna July [-]th, [-]th year. North of Dalin Yayuan, Linya Xiaorong, Xuan."

After the man in Jinpao finished speaking, he folded the scroll respectfully and put it in front of him, glanced at Li Qiufeng and the others, and said, "Please be honored guests."

After Li Qiufeng and the others heard the Jinpao people finished speaking, although they could hear the intention of inviting everyone to enter the city, they were confused, how dare they follow these five Jinpao people into the city easily?Because of this, everyone's face was cloudy and uncertain, their feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, and no one was willing to take half a step.Wang Xiaoyu tilted his head and looked at the five brocade robed men, lowered his voice and said to Li Qiufeng and the others: "Looking at the appearance of these five guys, it seems that they are reading an imperial decree to us. But isn't it the eunuch who announced the decree? The eunuch said, "Follow the heavens, the emperor said." This guy has a beard, so he is not a eunuch, and he just opened his mouth to talk about the door. What is Dulinya Xiaorong in the north of Dalin Yayuan? Strange , it's really strange."

Li Qiufeng had worked in Fusi, Jinyiwei South Town for five years, so he was naturally very familiar with the emperor's imperial edicts.When Qi Jiujiu was in the Dengzhou Guards, he also saw the eunuchs read the imperial edict several times.After listening to Wang Xiaoyu, the two had the same question in their hearts.Murong Danyan had never heard the imperial decree read, nor had she seen the eunuch read the imperial edict like Wang Xiaoyu did in the play, so after hearing Wang Xiaoyu finished speaking, she looked surprised, not knowing what Wang Xiaoyu said. What does it mean.

Feng Wei turned his head to look at Wang Xiaoyu, and said in his mouth: "What he just read is indeed the imperial edict. Menxia refers to Menxia Province. During the Tang Dynasty, the Zhongshu Order of Menxia Province was the same as the prime minister. When the emperor issued the imperial edict , to hand over the imperial decree to Menxia Province to undertake, so the imperial decree begins with the word "menxia". Although the Tang Dynasty died later, whether it was the Song Dynasty or the Khitan, when the imperial decree was written, it still inherited the Tang Dynasty. The format of the imperial decree. The Dalin Yayuan is under the jurisdiction of the King of the North Yuanyuan of the Liao Kingdom, which is roughly equivalent to the Ministry of Rites of the Song Dynasty, and is in charge of documents and edicts. In the north, Dulinya is an official position under the Dalin Yayuan, and it is the same as the Zuo Shilang of the Rites of the Song Dynasty. The official who came to proclaim the decree under the order of Yelubei is called Xiao Rong, and his official position is Beimian Dulinya."

After hearing what Feng Wei said, Li Qiufeng and the others understood.Wang Xiaoyu was puzzled, and couldn't help asking in a low voice: "Old Mr. Feng, how do you know that this person surnamed Xiao came here to announce the decree under the orders of Yelubei? Maybe he is an official under Yeluruan."

Feng Wei shook his head and said in his mouth: "Xiao Rong just read out the imperial decree, mentioning the 11th day of the seventh month of the seventh year of Ganlu. Back then, Yelubei was taken away from the throne by his younger brother, so he was naturally not reconciled. After he returned to his fief Dongdan Kingdom, he He named himself Ganlu, and became the emperor in Dongdan country. The imperial decree was dated with Ganlu, and it was naturally issued by Yelubei. However, although Yelvbei, an unlucky ghost, stayed in Dongdan country, his wife and younger brother He did not let him go, and planned to send a large army to destroy Dongdan. Yelubei knew that he was invincible, so he had to flee south in a hurry. Therefore, the reign of Ganlu only lasted [-] years. It's mostly because the Khitan people regard the number seven as their veneration, so they wrote this date indiscriminately."
