Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 686 Death

The Kaihuang Hall in the west building of the Khitan Palace.

Yelu Bishe was sitting on the dragon chair, stroking the chair that represented supreme power reluctantly, and the figure of his father Yelu De Guang Yingwu appeared in his mind. Thousands of words finally turned into a sigh.

"Father, the child has tried his best!"

"My boy is far better than his elder brother, but the opponent is too strong, and my boy doesn't feel any resentment when he loses."

A hurried voice came from outside the hall, but it was a panicked eunuch's servant, holding a golden wine bottle in his hand, he looked around when he entered the hall, but he didn't see Yelv Bishe, who was at the top.

Seeing the appearance of the person coming, Yelubi knew it well, and did not get angry, but said: "Go out, there are many treasures in the palace, you are not blessed to take them. Even if you take them, you will only provoke Murder."

Only then did the servant realize that there was a figure at the top of the main hall, and when he looked closely at the faint candlelight, he was instantly terrified, knelt down on the ground, and shouted incoherently: "Your Majesty...Your Majesty, my slave deserves to die, my slave deserves to die! "

He kowtowed and made a thumping sound, and all kinds of treasures in the palace in his arms fell to the ground.

Yelu Bishe waved his hand and said, "Go!"

The servant was so frightened that he turned around and left.

Yelv Bishe stopped him and said, "Wait!"

The servant shuddered and turned his head in panic, but his body was ready to run away.

"Take away all these things on the ground!" Yelv Bishe pointed to the utensils stolen by the servant, thought for a while, then took a jade tablet from his waist, threw it over, and said, "I'll give it to you, right?" Keep it as a souvenir."

The servant frantically took over the flying jade token, glanced timidly at the top Yelubishe, thought for a while, and summoned up courage to say, "Your Majesty, won't you run away?"

Yelv Bishe laughed at himself and said, "Run? This is my home, where can I go?"

The servant paused for a moment, thinking of Yelujing, who would kill them when he moved in the past, Yelv Bishe had never killed a palace servant indiscriminately during these years when he came to the throne, and said: "I know there is a place to hide, and I can take it with me." Your Majesty, go."

Yelu Bishe said: "You go, I don't want to run away."

Seeing that Yelv Bishe had made up his mind, and the shouts of killing were getting closer, the servant didn't dare to wait any longer, so he hurriedly picked up the utensils on the ground and ran away in a hurry.

Not long after the servant left, Yelu Bishe heard hurried footsteps outside the hall.

I also vaguely heard someone say: "Yelu Bishe is here in Kaihuang Palace..."

The voice of the other party was flattering, "The Kaihuang Palace is the largest palace in the West Building. It is the place where the Khitan Emperor was enthroned, the crown prince and the queen were conferred, and many imperial artifacts brought from the Central Plains are placed here."

The West Tower is Khitan's collective name for the west part of the imperial palace. Because the foundation of the imperial city is relatively high and it is located on the west side, it was originally called the Mingwang Tower, or West Tower for short, just like the imperial palace in Bianjing in the Central Plains is abbreviated as Da Nei.

Yelu Bishe heard the other party's voice, with a sneer on his face, it was Han Deshu, the earliest Khitanized Han in Erhan Yikang.He is the son of Han Yanhui, a heroic official of Khitan. His father, Yelu Deguang, kindly called him "the treasure of the country", and he was named Taiwei at the age of 20.

But now...

Yelu Bishe didn't wait for the other party to enter, but strode down the hall, drew out the scimitar from his waist, and came outside Kaihuang Hall.

Shu Yuan led Han Deshu to the Kaihuang Hall quickly.

In this surprise attack on Khitan Miyagi, Luo Youdu personally appointed Shu Yuan as the vanguard.

Shu Yuan, the three generals of the Southern Tang Dynasty who merged into Luo Youdu's command together with Lin Renzhao and Guo Tingwei, even though he has achieved success and fame now, still does not forget his original intention.

Shu Yuan's martial arts are not as good as those of Guo Tingwei and Kang Zaiyu, not to mention fierce generals such as Gao Huaide, Lin Renzhao, and Yang Ye, but when it comes to fighting tough battles, Shu Yuan and his Heiyun Army are worthy of anyone , relying on the spirit of going forward indomitably, sacrificing life and forgetting death.

In his words, people live their whole lives for "fame and fortune". Rather than dying of old age and sickness, it is better to die vigorously on the road of making contributions and leading the battle.

Different from Kang Zaiyu's emphasis on righteousness and despise life, Shu Yuan is strong and gentle. He has the courage to die, but he is more alert to grasp the opportunity.

In the Battle of Huainan, led by him, Guo Rong suffered a lot from the counterattack horn.

As long as he is given a chance to make meritorious deeds, Shu Yuan will be like a stealing cat, no matter what means he uses, he will accomplish it beautifully.

It was the same this time. After Shu Yuan dug the tunnel into the palace, he didn't go straight to where Yelv Bishe was. Instead, he personally led a team to raid the relatively weakly defended east building according to the situation while causing chaos. A passage connecting the outside of the city was opened.To prevent the Khitans from taking advantage of the weakness of the slow supply of soldiers in the tunnel, block the entrance of the tunnel first.

This method missed the best chance to capture Yelu Bishe, but it guaranteed the error tolerance rate of this night attack.

When Shu Yuanbu was creating chaos, he accidentally captured Han Deshu.

In order to save his life and his family, Han Deshu sold Yelv Bishe completely.

Shu Yuan was still the first to find the location of Yelv Bishe.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty!"

As soon as he arrived outside Kaihuang Hall, Han Deshu saw Yelu Bishe in a uniform and holding a scimitar in his hand.

Shu Yuan looked at Yelv Bishe in front of him. In his eyes, what stood opposite him was not a person, but a moving merit bag, and the eyeballs of his excited eyes protruded from their sockets.

Yelu Bishe said casually: "In the palace, most of the emperor's utensils from the Central Plains were brought by my father. I thought about destroying them with a fire. When I thought about it carefully, I was happy, but It would not be beautiful to anger Emperor Luo and hurt our innocent people in Khitan. I exchange these things for the safety of our Khitan people, and I hope the general will convey my wishes to Emperor Nanchao."

Shu Yuan raised his head and said: "Your Majesty has underestimated my Majesty too much. The safety of the Khitan people is due to the benevolence of my Majesty. What has it to do with you? If you really have something to say, why don't you go and talk to your Majesty face to face!"

As soon as he waved his hand, six soldiers immediately stepped forward to arrest him.

A flash of anger flashed in Yelu Bishe's eyes, and then he shouted with fighting spirit in his eyes: "Daliao has only kings who died in battle, and no emperor who has not surrendered!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he swung his knife and slashed at six soldiers.

His movements were swift and fierce, and his sword skills were surprisingly sharp.

Six soldiers forced him to retreat all by himself, and three of them were injured.

If it wasn't for the strong armor of soldiers, their lives would be in danger.

Shu Yuan frowned slightly, seeing Yelu Bishe's strength, and shouted: "Stand back, let me do it!"

He didn't want to hurt Yelv Bishe, let go of the mobile credit book for nothing, and he didn't want his soldiers to be injured for nothing, so he drew his two swords and walked towards Yelu Bishe step by step.

Yelu Bishe faced the difficulties without fear, and the scimitar in his hand drew an arc in the air, slashing at Shu Yuan.

Shu Yuan's original combat style was to fight for his life, but he had to stop fighting Yelv Bishe.

Yelv Bishe is fighting for his life with moves, and he doesn't care about defense at all.

If Shu Yuan really wanted to kill Yelu Bishe, he could easily kill him with a single blow, but this forced him to retreat a few steps instead.

Yelubi took three moves to force Shu Yuan to retreat, and ran directly to Han Deshu.

Han Deshu had no strength to restrain the chicken, and when he saw this situation suddenly, his soul was frightened, his hands and feet were cold, and before he could cry out in alarm, Yelu Bishe stabbed him in the chest.

Yelu Bishe's eyes flashed with joy, after killing Han Deshu, he continued to kill Shu Yuan without hesitation.

Seeing that Yelv Bishe killed Han Deshu in front of him, Shu Yuan also showed anger in his eyes, and slashed at Yelv Bishe's chest.

Yelu Bishe didn't defend himself at all, and hit him with one blow.

It's just that Shu Yuan used the back of the knife.

Yelubi took this blow, but instead of retreating to gather strength, he grabbed Shu Yuan's wrist with one hand, stabbed Shu Yuan's neck with a smirk, and was content to be able to take away a traitor and an enemy general before he died.

Shu Yuan was frightened, and the knife in his left hand instinctively pierced Yelu Bishe's chest.

Shu Yuan's weapon is double swords...

Yelu Bishe fell to the ground helplessly, thinking that if he had spent more time practicing martial arts these years, he might have made money today.

Consciousness dissipates in regret...
-
The entire Daliao imperial city was in chaos.

In addition to the Khitan royal family, there are many family members of important officials in the imperial city.

After they heard the turmoil, they ran aimlessly in panic, avoiding the military disaster everywhere.

Jing Jizhang, carrying the jade token rewarded by Yelu Bishe, appeared furtively at the blind corner on the right side of the Kaihuang Hall. Seeing no one around, he came to a dry well at the corner and removed the cover with all his strength.

Mingwang Building was originally the most luxurious building in the Khitan Imperial City, and the name of the West Building also came from Mingwang Building.

But in the seventh year when Yelu Abaoji proclaimed himself emperor, a rebellion broke out in Khitan. Lage, Shensugu and others ransacked the West Tower and burned the Mingwang Tower.Yelu Abaoji quickly quelled the rebellion, and in Jiazishuo in October of the following winter, he built the imperial palace on the foundation of King Ming's building.

The Kaihuang Hall is much smaller than the Mingwang Tower, and the wells that were originally allocated to the Mingwang Tower were abandoned because of this, and a new well was dug for the Kaihuang Hall.

Khitan craftsmen planted pines and cypresses nearby to cover up the emptiness, and the old well was hidden among the pines and cypresses.

More than [-] years have passed, and the old well has been neglected for a long time, and few people know about it.

Jing Jizhang was responsible for taking care of the vegetation in the palace, so he became a person that few people knew.

He threw all the gold cups and other utensils in his arms into the well.

Unexpectedly, there were two painful exclamations from the bottom of the well.

Jing Jizhang was so frightened that his hair stood on end, he whispered, "Who?"

There was a moment of silence down the well, and then a gentle voice came: "In Yelu Debin, there is still room down the well. If the people above want to avoid disaster, come down quickly."

Jing Jizhang felt relieved when he heard this.

Yelu Debin is the grandson of Khitan Yuyue Yeluwuzhi.

The quality of Yelu's house was respected by the Khitan people, and Yelu Debin was famous in Khitan at a young age, known for his gentleness, kindness, courtesy and thrift, Yelu Debin and Yelu Xiuge became the two gentlemen of Khitan.

Just as Jing Jizhang was about to go down the well, he felt something was wrong. He yelled in Khitan, but the other party answered in Chinese.

Although in Khitan, Khitan language and Chinese are parallel, but Khitan people talk to each other, how can one speak Khitan and the other respond in Chinese?
Jing Jizhang thought about it and threw the dim lantern in his hand into the well.

Under the light of the lantern, Jing Jizhang's soul was scattered: three people were crowded in the well, and there was Yelu Debin, who was obviously Zhao Kuangyi, the emperor's favorite minister.

Zhao Kuangyi's palms were sweating.

He never thought of advancing and retreating with Yelu Bishe at all, but apart from Khitan, he couldn't find any existence in this world that could confront Luo Youdu in the Central Plains, so he could only give him his last hope.But with the fall of Khitan North City, Zhao Kuangyi knew that there was nothing he could do, so he planned to escape.But Yelu Bishe was grateful for Zhao Kuangyi's life-saving grace, and when Beicheng fell, he specially sent people to approach the imperial city.

Zhao Kuangyi was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, but he had no choice but to become a shackle.

While Zhao Kuangyi was thinking about how to break the situation, he was also trying to find a way out for himself.He used the defense as an excuse to look at the structural diagram of the Khitan Imperial City, looking for a place to hide.

So he discovered the dry well in the pine forest, and he personally inspected the environment.

Tonight when the Central Plains invaded the imperial city, Zhao Kuangyi knew that Khitan's situation was over, so he prepared food and water and took his brother and nephew to hide in the dry well.

Never thought that someone would think of something with him.

Faced with the questioning from above, Zhao Kuangyi had no choice. He knew that he had a very bad impression on many Khitan people, and even offended many people. They are undoubtedly the fish on the chopping board.

So Zhao Kuangyi used the name of Yelu Debin to use Yelu Debin's influence and reputation to overcome this difficulty.

It's not that he doesn't want to use Khitan to deal with it, it's just that even though he has learned Khitan, the strange accent mixed with the Central Plains accent cannot be changed in a short time.

Zhao Kuangyi could only take the risk of dealing with it in Chinese.

I don't want to miss the stuffing...

"Dear brother, I don't mean any malice, I just don't want to be distracted."

Zhao Kuangyi was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and the palm of his hand holding the dagger hidden in his sleeve was also covered with sweat.

There was a trace of hatred in Jing Jizhang's eyes, he was just a small person in the Khitan Palace, an existence that was bullied by others.

As the saying goes, the world is as black as crows, and the intrigues of all walks of life in the Khitan Palace are no less than those in the Central Plains.

Jing Jizhang also had a certain amount of scheming experience, this dry well is not big, and it can barely accommodate four people, but Zhao Kuangyi himself is fat and strong like a pig, and Zhao Kuangmei also has the true Zhao family's biography, big shoulders and round waist, and they accounted for three and a half people. There is no seat, and there is no place to stay when I go down alone.

In this situation, I still ask myself to go down, and nine times out of ten I am uneasy and kind.

At this time, footsteps came from a distance. Jing Jizhang had been in the palace for many years, and it was not that he didn't know the second hiding place, but the property he had stolen had already been thrown into the well.Now that the palace is in chaos, it is dangerous to go out to find other hiding places.

After thinking about it, Jing Jizhang suddenly saw an abandoned bluestone brick not far away, and he said, "I'm going to another place, so I won't be crowded with you."

As he said that, he pretended to run away, picked up fifty kilograms of bluestone bricks with difficulty, and threw them down towards the mouth of the well...

One piece was not enough, so he went back and forth to find three bluestone bricks and threw them into the well! ! !
