This Northern Song Dynasty is a bit weird

Chapter 251 The Emperor's Heart Is Always Cold

In the Khitan Palace, the lord Yelu Hongji walked up and down in the imperial study room, his face full of solemnity and hesitation.

Just now he heard from his servants that Master Lu from the Song Kingdom wanted to see him.

Of course, he had heard of Lu Sen, and he had been investigated specifically, and he even hated him a little.

Because Xiao Shen has the power he has now, it is also because the 'Iron Coupon of the Way of Heaven' that Lu Sen accidentally discarded fell into Xiao Shen's hands.

Then he still hasn't taken it back.

Yelu Hongji didn't really believe in the saying that he couldn't take it back. After all, he was a half-immortal, so it should be very simple to take back his things without anyone noticing.

That is to say... the Iron Coupon of the Way of Heaven fell into Xiao Shen's hands, and it is possible that the other party did it intentionally.

Why do you do this?

Yelu Hongji had imagined many possibilities, but he felt that the most correct answer should be that the other party wanted Khitan to fight domestically, which would benefit Song.

Although it was unreasonable to come to this conclusion, his intuition told him that this was the most likely possibility.

Do you want to see Lu Sen?
Yelu Hongji thought for a long time, and he felt that if Lu Sen really wanted Khitan to fight internally, he probably wanted to help him. After all, if he was killed by Xiao Shen too quickly, he would not be able to achieve the goal of internal friction.

Logically, he shouldn't have gone.

But when he thought that Xiao Shen had already hoarded [-] troops in Zhongjing, and the distance to Beijing was less than two hundred miles, he felt his forehead swell.

If the front line couldn't stand it any longer, then Linhuang City would have to face the disaster. .

It seems that we still have to go.

"Is this the so-called oppression, the so-called conspiracy?" Yelu Hongji gritted his teeth in anger, but he couldn't do anything.

In the end, he had no choice but to say: "Take a thousand imperial guards and drive to Xiao Mansion outside the city."

The imperial palace is not too far away from Xiao's residence, and it will arrive soon.

He got down from the dragon chariot, and there was already Xiao Mansion in front of him, but the heavy snow fell all over the sky, which limited his vision, and the house in front was faintly visible in sight.

"Take someone to find the way ahead." Yelu Hongji pointed to the front.

The two father-in-laws immediately bent down and led the people forward.

Not long after, the two of them turned back again, and one of them said cautiously: "Your Majesty, Empress Xiao and Master Lu are already waiting for you in the courtyard of the Xiao residence."

"Is there anyone else?"

"There are only three of them." The father-in-law's expression became very strange: "But there is something magical, and the villain doesn't know how to describe it."

"Really Lu is a person with great supernatural powers, so it's not surprising that supernatural powers appear."

Yelu Hongji took a deep breath. This time, whether it is a sheep that goes into a tiger's mouth or a fire that takes millet, it all depends on Lu Zhenren's mood?

But thinking of the Xiao family's military disaster that was right in front of him, Yelu Hongji couldn't help gritting his teeth and walked forward.

He entered Xiao's mansion, walked more than ten meters against the heavy snow, vaguely saw a bright light passing through the snow, he was stunned for a while, and walked a few more steps, his eyes suddenly brightened.

A square garden surrounded by a golden wooden fence, where flowers are blooming and butterflies are flying.

The snowstorm all over the sky was blocked out.

In the middle, there are three people sitting, one of them is the person next to him, Empress Xiao Guanyin.

There is also a young man, and a beautiful young woman full of aura.

The young woman was sitting next to the young man, and the relationship between the two seemed very intimate.

Before entering Xiao's mansion, Yelu Hongji imagined many situations, such as the trapped fairy formation, the ghostly shadows, the brilliant fairy lights, the vastness of the land, and so on.

But he never expected that the situation in front of him would be so simple.

It is a small world, a small world that is not disturbed by the world.

But it is also a simple thing, in fact, the more powerful it is.

For example, Yelu Hongji has a square black town stone in his hand, which is not conspicuous at all, but it is the most precious of all his town stones.

It is made of meteorite iron from outside the sky.

In order to polish it into a square shape, the hands of at least fifteen craftsmen were abolished.

He saw Xiao Guanyin talking enthusiastically with the young woman he didn't know, and he was smiling happily.

The young man sat and slowly sipped the tea.

At this time, Xiao Guanyin saw Yelu Hongji from the corner of her eye, she got up quickly, and showed the latter a blessing.

The other two looked over.

Lu Sen smiled and made a please gesture.

The situation is imminent, and we cannot back down any longer.Yelu Hongji took a deep breath and walked forward.

There was a wooden door right in front of him, and after it was gently opened, Yelu Hongji walked in.

Once inside, he felt extremely warm, the whistling wind was whistling outside, but there was not even a trace of cold wind inside, and there was even a butterfly circling around in front of him.

As an emperor, Yelu Hongji also had self-respect, he really wanted to pretend he didn't care, but this was the first time he had experienced such a situation, he couldn't help being dazed for a while.

Xiao Guanyin was on the side, seeing Yelu Hongji lost his mind, she smiled knowingly.

Just over an hour ago, she also looked like this.

It is rumored that the real Zhonglu has the art of cave, which can separate the world and form a world of his own.

But that was just a simple explanation without any real feeling.

In their view, it should be similar to lighting a charcoal stove in a room, warm as spring.

But I didn't expect...it's really spring here.

"Your Majesty, please sit down first." Xiao Rongrong quietly observed from the side.

When Yelu Hongji came to his senses, he nodded slightly, and then sat across from Lu Sen.

After Yelu Hongji took his seat, Xiao Rongrong also sat down.

Lu Sen has been looking at Yelu Hongji.

The current Yelu Hongji is still a young man, he has been on the throne for less than four years, and he is just in his youth.

And different from other Khitan people, Yelu Hongji's face, even demeanor, is very similar to that of the Central Plains people.

If he didn't know the identity of the other party, Lu Sen would even suspect that the man in front of him was a son from a noble family in the Central Plains.

In fact, this is not surprising.

When Yelu Hongji was born, he received education from the Han family.

His teachers were all Han Chinese, who read Han classics and wrote Chinese characters.

From a cultural point of view, he is a member of the Han family and a competitor in the Han family.

This is also the reason why many scholars went to Khitan to become officials, at most they were ridiculed, but not despised.

Seeing him sit down, Lu Sen clasped his fists and said, "It's the second time we meet, Lord of Khitan."

"I have indeed seen you. You appeared in Xiao's residence last year." Yelu Hongji turned his head to look at Xiao Guanyin who was beside him, and then said, "Of course Rong Rong said that you have great supernatural powers and that you are an immortal. I didn't believe it too much. .”

As the emperor, Yelu Hongji naturally wouldn't believe in these gods so casually, and he was not from the Zhao family!
"I was looking for someone at the time, and there was something urgent afterwards, so I didn't meet and chat with the king."

Lu Sen smiled and explained the reason why he flew away immediately after he appeared from the illusion of the whale.

Of course, this is just an excuse, everyone understands.

Of course Yelu Hongji also understood, he didn't pay too much attention to this matter, but asked: "My servant said, Master Lu wants to see me?"

"Indeed." Lu Sen said with a smile: "The king should have heard about Xiao Shen."

Hearing this name, Yelu Hongji felt his blood pressure rise.With great difficulty, he suppressed his anger and asked, "I heard that Master Lu gave him a magical object, the Iron Coupon of the Way of Heaven!"

"I didn't give it to him, he picked it up himself." Lu Sen waved his hand and smiled lightly.

Of course, this matter cannot be admitted, and it is true that Lu Sen did not send it. He just asked people to 'carry' the Iron Coupon of Heaven's Way to Khitan territory. Lu Sen really has no control over who gets it.

"Isn't Master Lu planning to take it back?" Yelu Hongji couldn't help frowning and said, "This thing has turned our Khitan country upside down."

The fact that Xiao Shen has the Iron Coupon of Heaven in his hands, the whole world knows, he took down Zhongjing, this matter is even more shocking to the world, so there is no need to cover up this matter.

Lu Sen smiled and said, "It can't be recycled."

"Why?"

"The Iron Coupon of Heaven's Way is a sacred item, I just hold it, but I don't know who its real owner is. Only those who can activate its use can be regarded as its owner. The affairs of the Khitan Kingdom have nothing to do with me , If you really want to rob the Heavenly Dao Iron Coupon, you will only be lucky, and I dare not do this. And if the king really wants to blame, he should also blame the thief who stole things from my cave."

Lu Sen explained with a smile, with an innocent expression on his face.

Yelu Hongji was so angry that he wanted to kill someone, but he had to put on a calm appearance on the surface.

He knows that during negotiations, whoever gets angry first will be the first to fall into the disadvantaged.

After standing still for a few breaths, he suppressed his emotions, and then pretended to be calm and said: "No matter what, the matter of my Khitan is inseparable from Master Lu."

Lu Sen looked at Yelu Hongji's face full of hobgoblins, and said with a smile: "If you insist, there is indeed an indirect reason. After all, my Lu family didn't put away my things properly, and someone stole them for no reason." go."

"Then Master Lu came here this time to compensate my Khitan Kingdom?"

"Indeed." Lu Sen said with a smile, "I heard that Xiao Shen has already captured Zhongjing."

Yelu Hongji raised his thick eyebrows, he suppressed his anger and smiled and said, "That's true, Master Lu is really well-informed."

"Xiao Shen can be so brave because of the luck given to him by the Iron Coupon of Heaven." Lu Sen said with a smile: "But it is very difficult to weaken his luck."

Yelu Hongji couldn't help asking: "Then how can Daoist Lu help me? Besides, Xiao Shen's child still has a magic weapon in his hand. It seems to be called Wangzhi Waterfall. It's really a weird name. I don't understand its meaning. I don't know what it means. I wonder if Master Lu has heard of this magical weapon?"

It is indeed an ugly name. Why "Diyun" is translated into "Waterfall of the King" is also an unsolved mystery for Lu Sen.

From Yelu Hongji's words, he already suspected that the magic soldiers were all sent by Lu Sen.

His suspicion and intuition were correct, but Lu Sen couldn't admit it either.

"I've never heard of such a strange magical weapon as the King's Waterfall." Lu Sen smiled and said, "That day, the Dao Iron Ticket activated only a trace of Xiao Shen's dragon veins. After all, he is not a real dragon. of the territory."

Yelu Hongji leaned forward slightly: "What does Master Lu mean, the magical weapon in his hand also has the same effect?"

"I don't know if it's the same effect, but at least it's helpful to activate my own dragon energy." Lu Sen said with a smile: "If you want to beat Xiao Shen back to Xijing, you must first contain the dragon energy in his hand." Take the magic soldier."

Yelu Hongji knew that the main event was coming, he asked: "Can Master Lu have a solution?"

"I don't have such powerful magical weapons, but I do have some treasures." Lu Sen took out a wooden armor from the system backpack and put it on the table: "This is the treasure I want to give to the king."

Wooden armor?And only the upper body, without arm armor and helmet.

Yelu Hongji asked: "How to use this divine object?"

At this moment, Bilian stood up, and said to Xiao Rongrong who was beside her, "Sister Rongrong, put on this wooden armor, and then stand aside."

Xiao Rongrong looked at the 'ugly' wooden armor, and then turned his gaze to Yelu Hongji.

Yelu Hongji nodded and said, "Put it on."

Xiao Rongrong grabbed the wooden armor and put it on her body, then obediently followed aside.

Lord Yelu watched carefully.

At this time, Bilian flipped her palm, a dagger came out of her cuff, and went straight to Xiao Rongrong's forehead.

Xiao Rongrong yelled out in fright, and closed her eyes at the same time, thinking that my life is over!

But there was only a crisp sound of 'ding', and there was a slight itching on the forehead, as if being touched by something, other than that, I didn't feel any pain on my body.

The dagger was flicked to the side, and fell to the ground in a rapid circle.

Yelu Hongji stood up abruptly, his eyes wide open.

He saw very clearly just now that the dagger had already stabbed Xiao Rongrong between the eyebrows, but it was bounced aside.

Does Xiao Rongrong practice body protection skills?
This is of course impossible, there is only one answer, and the wooden armor she was wearing played a role.

Lu Sen blew on the floating leaves of the teacup, then took a sip, and said, "As long as you have this wooden armor on your body, no matter where you attack your body, you will not receive any damage until the spiritual energy attached to the wooden armor is exhausted."

"The whole body, any place that is not covered by the armor, is it like this?"

Lu Sen nodded.

Yelu Hongji stood up abruptly, he walked aside, pulled out the dagger on the ground, walked up to Xiao Rongrong, with a cold face, he stabbed at Xiao Rongrong's jade neck without hesitation.

Xiao Rongrong suddenly screamed again in fright.

After a ding, the dagger in Yelu Hongji's hand stopped on the skin of Xiao Rongrong's side neck, obviously only half a point forward, Xiao Rongrong was about to be injured, but the weapon in Yelu Hongji's hand was weak.

"real!"

Yelu Hongji's face was ecstatic, then he raised his dagger and stabbed Xiao Rongrong continuously.

Face, eyes, neck, thighs and more!
It was completely unprotected by the wooden armor, and he wanted to stab it.

And Xiao Rongrong was so frightened that he screamed and kept running and dodging in the garden. Although he knew in his heart that with the wooden armor on his body, he would not be injured, but people would still be afraid when they saw a sharp weapon stabbing towards them.

Just like that, Yelu Hongji chased after Xiao Rongrong vigorously, stabbing back and forth with the dagger.

But Xiao Rongrong kept running, and after a while, she stopped and let Yelu Hongji's dagger touch her body.

It's just that there were tears in her eyes.

And Zhao Bilian's expression also became weird.

She really wanted to say that Yelu Hongji was really inferior to a beast, and he treated his wife like this, but thinking that she had tried Xiao Rongrong just now, she could only let out a long sigh.

After swiping at least thirty knives, Yelu Hongji felt a little tired. He turned his head and asked pantingly, "How many such wooden armors does Master Lu have?"
