Start with ten times the talent of Zhang Sanfeng

Chapter 229
That night, in the Bianliang Imperial Palace, the little emperor tossed and turned on the dragon couch all night, although he was excited, he forced himself to fall asleep.

I only hope that in my sleep, I will have the chance to see the true face of the gods.

However, what he didn't know was that the "immortal" he was thinking of had already left Bianliang City at this moment, and was heading northward in the dark.

After all, what Meng Xiuyuan could do, he had already done.

Not only did he expend energy to cut marrow, regulate qi and unblock meridians for Zhao Xu's meridians, so that his old diseases were completely cured, but he also left a stream of true qi in his body for future contingencies.

This Beiming Zhenqi fused with Qingling Qi is quite good in terms of quality and quantity.If it is placed on ordinary Jianghu people, it is enough to help them achieve excellent martial arts, and there are few opponents in Jianghu.

The little emperor Zhao Xu didn't know martial arts, so he couldn't use this true energy, but he could rely on this true energy to be healthy and worry-free for the rest of his life.

What's more, since Meng Xiuyuan's zhenqi was contaminated with the aura of "Manggu Zhuzhu", when it was injected into Zhao Xu's body at this time, it also gained a lot of benefits.

I dare not say that all poisons are invulnerable, but at least the vast majority of chronic poisons will not have an effect on it, and even if it is really poisonous, the poison will be automatically and slowly detoxified under the flow of true energy.

Under such circumstances, even if Zhao Xu offended so many ministers in his reforms in the future that someone wanted to assassinate him, it might not be easy for him to succeed.

In addition to the "Wu Mu's Suicide Note", "Liaoyuan Spear Technique" and "Health Preservation Formula", Meng Xiuyuan felt that as long as the little emperor would not forget his original intention and govern the country seriously, he would surely be able to avoid the "Shame of Jingkang" from happening.

So far, Meng Xiuyuan has no reason to stay anymore.

Although Bianliang in Tokyo is prosperous and charming, it is not worth Meng Xiuyuan's time and nostalgia.

The Liao and Song Dynasties had already started a war, and he didn't know what was going on at the border. He didn't feel relieved if he didn't go to see it with his own eyes earlier.

Under the moonlight, Meng Xiuyuan turned into a blue shadow, drifting quietly across the endless plain.

……

It is worth mentioning that at this time, the Liao and Song Dynasties have been at war for more than a month, and the war has started in full swing.

Meng Xiuyuan wanted to influence the battle situation by himself, so he could only run towards the enemy's leader.

Therefore, when Meng Xiuyuan sneaked into the Great Song Palace, he went out of his way to find the battle report documents sent back from the front line, so that he had some understanding of the development of the war and had some clues about the next actions.

This time when they went south to attack the Song Dynasty, Emperor Yelu Hongji of the Liao Dynasty had a big plan. When the battle started, he divided his troops into three groups and attacked together, without giving the Song Dynasty a chance to breathe.

Among them, the first two groups of heavy troops all went directly south from Nanjing, Liao, and passed through the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun.

Fortunately, the Song army also had heavy troops there. Relying on the "Yusai" and "Gusai" they usually built, although they were a little embarrassed for a while, they still held the front line and did not let the Liao people break through.

The so-called Yusai refers to the defense line built with elm forests, while the so-called Gusai refers to the defense line built with rivers.

Although Song and Liao have been peaceful for a long time because of the "Tanyuan Alliance", they have always been on guard in Liao.In addition, the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun were missing, and there was no barrier in the north. Therefore, under the vigilance of Song State, the North China Plain was tightly guarded, which made it difficult for Liao State to succeed.

The Liao Kingdom had also anticipated such a scene long ago, so about half a month ago, it suddenly separated another army of tens of thousands of people, marched all the way west, and turned to attack from Shanxi, intending to break through in a roundabout way.

Moreover, judging from the battle reports sent back in the past two days, the tens of thousands of horses on this road were actually led by Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji himself.Apparently Yelu Hongji had already made up his mind to do something on the western front.

Under Yelu Hongji's personal conquest, the Liao army on the west road was in full swing. According to the latest battle report, his troops had already approached Yanmen Pass.

The land of the Jin Dynasty is rugged, not suitable for cavalry, and there are many passes, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack. The Song Dynasty did not expect the Liao Dynasty to attack this road, so only a few thousand soldiers were left here to defend.

Facing the attack of tens of thousands of troops from the Liao Kingdom, the Song Army was too weak even though it had a favorable geographical position.

Obviously, if there is no timely support for this Yanmen Pass, I am afraid it will be in jeopardy.

After hearing the news, although Meng Xiuyuan didn't know how the little Emperor Zhao Xu would respond, he had already made some decisions.

……

Yanmenguan is located on Yanmen Dangerous Road [-] miles north of Daizhou, [-] miles away from Bianliang.

Under Meng Xiuyuan's single-minded rush, it only took less than two days.

It was dusk when he rushed to the vicinity of Guannei.Looking down from the top of the mountain, one can see the disgraced faces of the soldiers, and many of them are already wounded. It is obvious that the battle is not going well and they have just suffered a defeat.

Fortunately, the city gate has not been broken, and the Liao army has not yet entered.

Yanmen Pass is an important town in the northern part of the Great Song Dynasty. There are more than [-] passes in Shanxi, and Yanmen Pass is the most powerful and solid key. Once you leave the pass, tens of miles away, you will be the border of Liao Kingdom.

If this barrier is breached, the lands of the Song Dynasty and the Three Jin Dynasties will be lost.If the Liao army went south directly after passing the customs, they could go straight to Luoyang, and the Central Plains was also in jeopardy.

Meng Xiuyuan didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly continued heading north.

The dangerous topography of Yanmen Pass can be reflected in the name.It is said that geese travel south and return north, and it is difficult to fly over the peak, and they have to pass between the two peaks, so it is called "Yanmen".

However, such rocky cliffs and rugged mountain roads seemed like a small mound to Meng Xiuyuan.He took a detour from Gaoling in Guanxi, passed through the Song army guard post briefly, and entered the north of Yanmen Pass.

The Liao State used tens of thousands of soldiers to attack a pass guarded by only a few thousand Song troops, which is inevitable.

Therefore, the camp of the Liao army was clearly set up a few miles outside the Yanmen Pass, just for the convenience of attacking the city, but not afraid of the Song army going out of the city to fight back.

Standing on the mountain, Meng Xiuyuan saw the Liao army camp clearly visible, he couldn't help smiling, he thought it saved a lot of trouble, so he went straight away.

However, just as he descended the mountain and was about to walk out of the woods, his eyes suddenly focused and he became alert.

Because he suddenly heard a faint breathing sound in his ears, the sound was long and far away, obviously he had a very high internal martial arts.

Meng Xiuyuan didn't know that there were such masters in Liao Kingdom, so he immediately went looking for the sound, and was going to meet with the comer for a while.I don't want to, but when he gets a little closer and hears it more clearly, I feel that his breath is very familiar.

After turning around a bend in the mountain, Meng Xiuyuan saw the man's appearance clearly, he couldn't help being very surprised, and said with his internal force:
"Miss Wang, what are you doing here?"

At this time, Meng Xiuyuan's skills were already extraordinary, so Wang Yuyan didn't realize that he was approaching at all, and suddenly heard a voice in her ear, she couldn't help but startled, after a while, she came back to her senses, turned around and saw Meng Xiuyuan:

"Young Master Meng, you are finally here... This is not a place to talk, you follow me first."

While speaking, Wang Yuyan immediately stepped on "Lingbo Weibu", her figure flickered, and she led Meng Xiuyuan around the mountains for a few turns, and finally stopped in a relatively hidden mountain nest.

"Miss Wang, how long have you been here at Yanmen Pass?"

Seeing that Wang Yuyan was quite familiar with the surrounding terrain, Meng Xiuyuan couldn't help asking.

"It's been four or five days... If you don't come, Mr. Meng, I can't hold on anymore."

Wang Yuyan glanced at Meng Xiuyuan with a smile, and complained in a joking tone.

Meng Xiuyuan was taken aback when he heard the words, and now he looked at Wang Yuyan carefully, but saw that this girl who was usually as clean as a fairy, now had a bit of wind, frost and dust on her body, obviously the past few days had not been comfortable.

Think about it too, Song and Liao are at war, and the situation at Yanmen Pass is tense.It is obviously not easy for a girl like Wang Yuyan to hide here.

"Then, Miss Wang, why did you come here..."

The more Meng Xiuyuan thought about it, the more confused he became, and asked immediately.

"Grandma asked me to come here. You know, she doesn't like to owe people favors..."

Immediately, Wang Yuyan briefly explained the reason to Meng Xiuyuan.

It turned out that the last time Xixia was farewell, after Child Elder returned to Vulture Palace, she felt that something was wrong, she just felt that she was saved by Meng Xiuyuan again, and she felt very uncomfortable.

Therefore, for several months, Vulture Palace has been sending people to search for Meng Xiuyuan's traces in all directions.They only hope that after they can find him, they will invite him back to Vulture Palace.

Unexpectedly, Meng Xiuyuan seemed to have evaporated in the past few months and disappeared without a trace. On the contrary, the war between Liao and Song Dynasty broke out suddenly, and the situation suddenly became tense.

After Child Elder heard the news, Dang even had an idea.

"Grandma said, if you are a benevolent and chivalrous person like Mr. Meng who is for the country and the people, if you know that the Song Kingdom was invaded by the Liao Kingdom, you will definitely not ignore it.

Presumably, he was cultivating in a blessed place, and he didn't know the outside world.

Therefore, she sent me to secretly prevent the Liao army from capturing Yanmen Pass.

This can be regarded as doing a job on behalf of you, Young Master Meng, and slightly repaying your life-saving grace..."

Wang Yuyan looked at Meng Xiuyuan and spoke eloquently.

Meng Xiuyuan was slightly taken aback when he heard the sound, then smiled and asked Wang Yuyan:

"Miss Wang was obviously being polite in her words.

Elder Sister, she can't say anything about 'benevolence and chivalry, for the country and the people'.

I think what she said, it should be that my little junior brother is 'nosy'. "

Wang Yuyan smiled lightly at the sound, it seemed that Meng Xiuyuan had guessed it right.

After a while, Meng Xiuyuan suddenly cupped his hands slightly towards Wang Yuyan, and said:

"In other words, Yanmen Pass has not been breached by the Liao army for a few days, and it is because of you, Miss Wang..."

Seeing this, Wang Yuyan quickly waved her hands, and said to Meng Xiuyuan:
"Young Master Meng is serious, I just sneaked into the Liao army camp every night to do some damage, and I don't deserve any credit.

Moreover, in the past two days, the guards in the Liao army camp have become more and more tight, and it has been difficult for me to make any achievements.

Last night, when I sneaked in for the last time, I was almost spotted by someone.Fortunately, there was a masked expert to help, so it was not exposed, so that he was besieged in the Liao army camp..."

"Mask master?" Meng Xiuyuan was a little surprised when he heard this.

"Well, I have sneaked into the Liao army camp for several nights and found someone doing the same thing as me.

Moreover, that person acted resolutely, but he was much more efficient than me in doing things.

Many of the grain, grass and equipment of the Liao army were destroyed by him.

I've only seen that person from a distance, he is tall and strong, with excellent martial arts, obviously he is not an ordinary person.

But he intentionally concealed his martial arts skills, I can't confirm his identity..."

Relying on memory, Wang Yuyan slowly explained to Meng Xiuyuan.

Meng Xiuyuan's heart skipped a beat when he heard the words, he thought it was easy to guess who the "masked master" was in Wang Yuyan's words.

Wang Yuyan was clever, deliberately explained the matter in such detail, but did not want to directly mention Xiao Feng's name, obviously she knew about the entanglements between Meng Xiuyuan and Xiao Feng in Shaolin Temple.

Smiling and shaking his head, Meng Xiuyuan glanced at the thoughtful girl, then cupped his hands again and said:

"Thank you for the reminder, Miss Wang.

This 'masked master' is willing to take action to prevent the Liao Kingdom from going south to attack the Song Dynasty, so he is a great hero for the country and the people.

No matter who he is, as long as he is willing afterwards, I want to invite him to drink a pot of wine together..."

While the two were talking, the sun had already set and the sky was getting dark.

Meng Xiuyuan thought it was time to get down to business, and immediately bid farewell to Wang Yuyan, preparing to leave for the Liao army camp.

Unexpectedly, Wang Yuyan actually stopped him, and said:

"Young Master Meng, let's go together.

I have been operating in the Liao army camp for several days, after all, I am relatively familiar with it.

Furthermore, grandma has repeatedly told me that if I see you this time, I must invite you back to the Vulture Palace.

I'm afraid that if I don't follow you at this moment, when the soldiers and horses are in chaos, I won't be able to find you anymore. "

"No need, Miss Wang. I'll come back to you as soon as I'm done."

Meng Xiuyuan patted Wang Yuyan's shoulder lightly while speaking, then turned around and drifted away without further words.

Wang Yuyan saw that Meng Xiu's feet didn't touch the ground, and his figure was more than ten feet away in an instant, she couldn't help being shocked, and secretly thought that this young master Meng hadn't seen him for several months, and his lightness kung fu was much stronger than when he was in Xixia.

At this time, she also understood why Meng Xiuyuan didn't want to take her to the Liao army camp.With her skill at this time, although she has rarely met an opponent in this world, she is still suspected of holding back when placed beside Meng Xiuyuan.

……

As Wang Yuyan said, the Liao army camp is indeed very heavily guarded at the moment, with one post at three steps and one sentry at five steps.

However, in the darkness of night, Meng Xiuyuan tried his best to sneak in, but these soldiers of the Liao army who did not have superb martial arts could not find his trace at all.

The only thing that troubled Meng Xiuyuan was that the layout of the Liao army camp was very particular, each tent looked exactly the same from the outside, and it was impossible to tell where the emperor Yelu Hongji lived.

Helpless, Meng Xiuyuan could only start to investigate bit by bit from the core area, hoping to find clues in the tens of thousands of military camps and find out the emperor of the Liao Kingdom.

In this way, until three minutes into the night, Meng Xiuyuan finally gained something.

He found a tent, which was furnished in a grand manner, obviously very different from the tents of the senior officers he had seen before.

Sneaking in quietly, I saw many battle report memorials placed on the desk, some of which have been corrected, and some have not been moved yet.

Looking inside again, under the dim lights, there was a big man sleeping on the bed, full of gills and beard, with a mighty appearance.

Seeing this situation, Meng Xiuyuan had roughly confirmed the identity of this person in his heart, so he wanted to call him up to confirm.

No, he just walked towards the bed, when he moved his ears, he heard a master sneaking in from outside the tent behind him.

"Brother Meng, don't hurt him yet..."
