The last conscience of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 227 Khitan goes to Beijing
The First Emperor was great.

Liang Xin never thought about it.

Liang Xin just wants to be herself.

After a long and arduous journey of 57 days, Liang Xin finally arrived in Khitan.

This place is cold.

Compared with Bianjing City, we have only been away for two months, and it feels like leaving Bianjing City.

Yelu Hongji has died, and the Khitan is holding a state funeral in Beijing.

Liang Xin arrived, but there was no banquet.

However, the new emperor Yelu Yanxi met Liang Xin in person on the day Liang Xin arrived.

Cao Song, who was originally in Khitan going to Beijing, accompanied him.

Before going to the palace, Cao Song said to Liang Xin: "Cry a few times to gain favor."

Liang Xin did not answer and entered the palace. After completing a set of etiquette, Liang Xin said: "Your Majesty, the foreign minister came all the way. It is very lucky that the late emperor of our friendly country has not yet awakened. The late emperor of our friendly country was a hero. The foreign minister is brave and offers a gift." , and give a ride to the late emperor of our friendly country."

Yelu Yanxi didn't think much about it and just asked: "Principal Liang, please give me a gift. I feel very relieved."

According to normal circumstances, Liang Xin should take out the gift at this time.

But Liang Xin stood still.

That's it, it's quiet.

Cao Song stepped forward and whispered beside Liang Xin: "A gift, a gift."

Only then did Liang Xin react. After saluting, she said, "Your Majesty, the foreign minister's gift is not an object. The foreign minister intends to make a bet with the late emperor of a friendly country."

Yelu Yanxi thought to herself, "How can we gamble when everyone is dead?"

But he still remained polite: "How to bet?"

Liang Xin said: "The foreign minister brought 50 people here. These 50 people are the servants who accompany the foreign minister to play games every day. Choose a mountain forest, draw a picture, and then use a flying knife to select the location and cover the eyes of these 50 people. Send them to the location pointed out in the forest. The late emperor of the friendly country must also have personal guards, select 50 people, and send them to the forest in the same way."

"Wooden knives, wooden arrows, coated with white ash. In the end, only one person can walk out of the forest standing."

"If the friendly country's late emperor wins, we will transfer Xiazhou City to the jurisdiction of the Great Khitan. If the friendly country loses, we will borrow the water port for ten miles for 30 years."

“Let’s bid farewell to the late Emperor of our friendly country with his favorite bet.”

Yelu Yanxi stood up and said, "Until all the real swords and arrows are destroyed, I will lend them to you for thirty miles for 50 years."

Liang Xin took a step forward and said word by word: "We will not use all living beings as equals, but will use all means, including poison. If your Majesty agrees, please make a contract!"

"Prepare your credentials!"

The two countries made peace. In Bianjing City, Xiao Baoxian was so overwhelmed that he suddenly lost [-] years of coins.

This tone.

Yelu Yanxi couldn't swallow it.

Although he needed Liang Xin's help for something, he still had to suppress Liang Xin's arrogance.

Liang Xin is talking about games.

Yelu Yanxi wants to be replaced by a real guy.

Then, this is not a game, a life and death battle.

A relatively fair life and death fight.

Khitan people must be relatively familiar with the mountains and forests on the Khitan side, but Liang Xin is also skilled at playing this game, and each has its own advantages.

Liang Xin gave a salute, turned around and left the hall.

Back at the post house, Liang Xin came to the people who had followed him to the Khitan capital and said very bluntly: "Khitan people, if we want to lose our prestige, we have to fight a game of life and death. I can't retreat. But it's you who are going to fight for it." , you deserve this gift."

Liang Xin said, kneeling on one knee.

A crowd of people knelt down in front of Liang Xin instantly.

"kill."

Liang Xin responded with Song military salute.

"Your little ones, and I, Liang Xin, have dry mouths. We can't let them drink water, please."

"kill!"

Many of Liang Xin's tax camps were veterans of many battles.

They are not afraid at all.

That one doesn't have dozens of thieves' heads in his hand.

During the Northwest War, the tax camp was not moved.

Liang Xin said they were not needed.

In the Northwest War, the Song army killed [-] people, and the Xixia people knelt down and surrendered.

Everyone present understood that if Liang Xin had the kindness of a woman, she would not dare to confront the Khitan Emperor today, nor would she dare in the future.They are not worth risking their lives to follow.

Isn't it just a life and death fight?

Either live or die.

The people of the Song Dynasty opened wine and drank Zhuangxing wine.

Liang Xin was not sure either. He heard that the elites of the Liao Kingdom were not ordinary strong.

But I can’t be cowardly.

As for Yelu Yanxi, he personally went to the school grounds to order troops.

As soon as Liang Xin arrived in Shangjing, he made such a show. He wanted to let the people of Song Dynasty know how strong the Khitan people were in Shangjing.

Cao Song felt that his brain was not enough.

Liang Xin was even crazier than the last time he saw her.

There is only one person who, in addition to being depressed, is still depressed.

Wei was named Xihe, an envoy from Xixia.

He didn't understand that if the Song people lost, their Xiazhou was gone and belonged to the Khitans.

The Song people won, and the Khitans recognized the Song people's jurisdiction over Xiazhou and lent the Song people another twenty-mile port.

So, what about Xixia.

Xiazhou belongs to us Xixia, it is only temporarily occupied by the Song people. We are still negotiating and hope to get Xiazhou back.

More, more, more importantly, I personally came to Khitan to Beijing to ask the Khitan Emperor for help in taking back Xiazhou.

just now……

Neither Wei Mingxi nor Gloomy knew who to talk to about this matter.

At this time, during the mourning period of the Khitan people, he tried to find someone, but he could not find the important officials of the Khitan. The important officials would not see him, and the Khitan emperor would not see him.

The next day.

100 people were blindfolded in front of a mountain forest.

All the equipment is provided by oneself.

On the Song people's side, they did not use equality of all beings, but only used knives, arrows, hammers, axes, etc. Neither side used crossbows.

A huge piece of cloth hangs on a wooden board.

Liang Xin throws an arrow here and chooses the initial position of a Khitan person. A Song person and a Khitan person will lead the person into the forest at the same time.

This kind of gambling is already a life and death battle.

If anyone cheats, his disgrace will be spread throughout the world.

Among the people watching the ceremony were the leaders of the five major tribes and eight small tribes on the grassland.There were Jurchens who came to express condolences, Wanyan Aguda, and Koreans.

Wanyan Agu sat meditating on his seat and secretly observed Liang Xin.

He heard his brother Nianhan mention it many times before.

At this time, he wanted to say that his brother was wrong.

He believed in his own eyes. If there was a hero in this world, he thought he was qualified.

However, if we say that among people in this world, there is a born king.

This is the person in front of me.

At such an age, when he came to the capital of Khitan, he dared to ignore the majesty of Khitan.

I'm afraid even Emperor Song doesn't have such courage.

This is not a yamen that hides behind the elders and relies on the power of their elders to show their prestige.

Wanyan Aguda observed Liang Xin's guards again.

All of them looked lazy and couldn't stand neatly in line.

Is it weak?
Do not!
Just like this young man named Liang Xin, they are all just pretending.

Because of the eyes.

The eyes of a warrior who has fought hundreds of battles.

With this group of people alone, Wanyan Aguda believed that they could protect Liang Xin from Khitan and go to Beijing, and they would also have back-ups to protect Liang Xin from leaving Khitan and going to Beijing and back to the Song Dynasty.

On this point, Wanyan Aguda guessed wrong.

They were unable to protect Liang Xin from the Khitan and go to Beijing, let alone return to the Song Dynasty safely.

But they were confident, so they kidnapped Yelu Yanxi and then stayed in the Liao palace.
