Compete for the Song Dynasty

Bao Zheng really felt that Wang Pang's mansion was too small, and since Wang Pang began to accept appointments, Wang Pang often honored Bao Zheng.No matter where he came back from, he would go to the mansion first to pay a visit, Bao Zheng was very pleased.Now Bao Zheng doesn't know how to take good care of Wang's side, and it's not a big deal for Bao Zheng to buy a bigger house for his son.

Wang Pang was very moved, it wasn't about buying a house, now Wang Pang is not short of money, what moved him was that Bao Zheng treated him like his own.Bao Zheng chatted with Wang Pang for a long time, and he reminded Wang Pang of everything that Bao Zheng could think of about some cultural affairs of the Liao Kingdom.

Bao Zheng told Wang Pang: Although there were five capitals in the Liao Dynasty, the emperor and his court officials did not settle in the capital, but still migrated in four seasons.The emperor's travels were in the bowl, and the felt tent Oruduo (Chinese translation of palace tent, imperial tent, tooth tent, and palace) where the emperor lived, as the political center and central decision-making place of the Liao Dynasty, had to be heavily guarded, so "no The walls, ditches, and palaces are solid", but "felt carts are used as camps, and hard fortresses are used as palaces."Therefore, the imperial court guards of the Liao Dynasty were different from the palace guards of the Central Plains Dynasty, but "migrated to and fro, and used soldiers as camps and guards", and "if you don't camp every day, you are not guarding".

Wang Pang understood that his foster father reminded himself that since the people of Liao Dynasty were not stable, there might be civil wars at any time, so they should be vigilant at any time and anywhere.

The father and son chatted until it was getting late, Bao Zheng got up and went back to the mansion, and Wang Pang personally sent it to the gate of the mansion.Also known as Zhe Kejun and Zhang Ping escorting foster father Bao Zheng, looked at their backs before turning back home. [

When Wang Pang returned to the inner house, he saw that the clothes and salutes had been packed and placed on the table.Seeing that the salute is not like the two people I imagined, I have discussed it with Yuexia in the past few days. Yuexia men's clothing is next to the king, why is there only one person's luggage?Looking back, Yuexia was sitting on the edge of the bed with her head bowed and her face blushing.

He came to the bed and sat down hugging Yuexia and asked, "Is it uncomfortable? Why are there only so few things?"

Yuexia was hesitating, she finally persuaded Wang Bang to take her there, but now she had to change her mind: "No, I, I don't want to go."

Wang Pang laughed out loud, it's fine if Yuexia doesn't go, he teased Yuexia and said, "Didn't you always want to talk about going to Liao Kingdom?"

Yuexia shyly said: "Go again if you have a chance, we can go as a family of four." After speaking, he lowered his head even deeper, and the moonlight reflected by the candlelight became redder and shyer.

Wang listened to a family of four, and wondered who else Yuexia was talking about besides the two of them: "Why four?"

"Husband, Tong Xiao, I still have..." She said and pointed to her stomach.

Wang Pang understood now that he was going to be a father. No wonder Yuexia changed his mind and didn’t want to go to Liao Kingdom. The people in the front yard are all going to the new house, and our family of four lives peacefully in this Meyer Mansion."

Yue Xia looked at her husband with a smile, outsiders thought he was capable and ambitious, but Wang Pang seemed to be very down-to-earth, and he didn't want to be vain: "Husband will bring Rou'er here later, and I'll just be a Companion." She blushed as she said that, after all, what Yuexia thought was that she was pregnant, and she couldn't have intercourse in the future, worrying that Wang Pang would be bored.

Wang Pang knew that Yuexia really cared for him. Although Yuexia didn't have the jade to see and feel people's hearts, Yuexia was also the person who understood himself best.

Yuexia's wish is very simple, as long as her husband does not brave the wind and snow, and does not run around in the wind and rain.She is content when she is happy and peaceful.Thinking of the simple and happy relationship of the family in the future, and the prosperity of the small life, the two of them chatted about the future, and the two felt a little happiness.

Early in the morning, a horse convoy from Bianjing City took the Royal Road in the northern suburbs of the city and headed towards Fengqiu Gate.The leader is a young man in a red robe riding a white horse.Behind him are three mighty men.Behind them, a dozen cavalry escorted several carriages carrying congratulatory gifts.

People on the street stopped to look at the team, and some said, "Isn't that Wang Shilang? Where is he going?"

"Haven't you watched "Cloud Picking"? The crown prince appointed Wang Shilang as an envoy to the Liao Kingdom."

Someone in the crowd said: "Hey, look at Wang Shilang, he is already a fourth-rank official at a young age, and he can go anywhere."

He Libo listened to the people's discussion, he was grateful to Wang Pang, if it wasn't for his own business, Wang Pang might not have accepted the job: "Brother, I understand what you mean, the Liao Kingdom is indeed as stated in my letter from my family."

Wang Pang has just told He Libo briefly what Lord Bao said. Going to Liao Kingdom as an envoy is a good thing in the eyes of ordinary people, but now there is a bloody storm brewing in Liao Kingdom. A coup d'état is a dangerous thing.

Take what Wang Pang knows, at least 2011 journalists were killed in 39 countries in the world in 106. Of course, I am not a reporter, but it is difficult to guarantee personal safety in wars and conflicts, especially when it comes to the policies of those in power towards allies and neighboring countries superior.In case that Yelu Zhongyuan is a warlike person and is unwilling to abide by the Tanyuan alliance, the risk factor of being an envoy is quite high.

Wang Pang didn't want to say this to He Libo, for fear that he would be disturbed if he heard it, and He Libo didn't know what a reporter was: "Brother He, don't worry, the letter you received from home at least shows that your brother's situation is not too bad. We are going to Liao Kingdom this time, and the representative is the Great Song Kingdom." Wang Pang didn't say the following words, the chaos in your Liao Kingdom is your Liao Kingdom's business, he tried his best to draw He Libo into the perspective of the Song Dynasty, but what did he think? After all, Libo is from the Liao Kingdom, so he held back. [

They passed through prefectures and counties along the way, and there were no local officials to greet them in person. The royal items could not be mistaken, and the king was a Beijing official and had already been famous. Any local official could not wait to curry favor.

On the contrary, Wang Pang has long been tired of this kind of reception, if there is no such congratulatory gift, he doesn't want to alarm the state capital.They stop and go along the way, passing through Huazhou, Mingzhou, Zhaozhou, and Qizhou.The further north he went, the more excited Wang Pang was, and the more he wanted to hurry up.He Libo and the others were on their way to Wang Pang, but they didn't know that Wang Pang had long wanted to see what the land of his previous life looked like in the Song Dynasty.

Forty to fifty kilometers away from Baozhou is Langya Yuexiu. This mountain is full of strange peaks, towering and steep, shaped like a wolf's tooth, the main peak is lotus petals, the west and north sides are steep and steep, and the east and south sides are slightly lower. , each with a narrow path leading to the main peak.From a high altitude, one can see that thousands of peaks and mountains are like waves in the sea, with ups and downs.Looking closer to the west side, the stone forest stands tall and natural, the big and small lotus peaks are like hibiscus emerging from the water, blooming proudly, and the clouds and mists in the Qixia Gorge are mysterious and unpredictable.

Crossing this mountain is Baozhou, and passing Baozhou is the territory of Liao Kingdom. Standing next to the king on the mountain, He Libo is very excited.He Libo is because he has not returned to his hometown for a long time, and Wang Bang is because the land of Yanjing is where he lived in his previous life.He remembered that when he visited Zhang Zai, Zhang Zai told him the legend about traveling through ancient times and crossing modern stones.

Since my ancient stone is here, and Zhang Zai said that not many people know about it, and because of this legend, Yanjing has become a battleground for military strategists. Who would not want to have a stone that can travel through the past and the present? Power, freedom to control your past and present lives.This seems to be much better than looking for the elixir of immortality.

He Libo pointed to the north and said, "Brother, after crossing this mountain, we will almost reach the border."

Wang Pang knew a long time ago, he knew more than He Libo, not to mention the border between Song and Liao, just the Langya Mountain at the foot left many legends for later generations.Wang Pang chanted loudly, "The majestic Yanshan Mountain is high, and the water is cold and easy. Five heroes, the mighty Langya Mountain."

Not only He Libo, but even Zhe Kejun and Zhang Ping who were following behind couldn't help shouting loudly!Wang Pang laughed secretly, this is "Song of the Five Heroes of Langya Mountain", they must have never heard of it.

After drinking, He Li Bo asked naively: "Brother, this poem is really good, but there is one thing I don't understand?" He looked back at Zhe Kejun and Zhang Ping and said: "There are four of us, where are we? The five strong men who came?"

Wang Pang laughed loudly, and before he finished laughing, he heard a loud shout from the bushes: "The fifth one is here! Is this official Wang Shilang?"

There are bandits here?No, if there were bandits, they wouldn't claim to be the fifth strong man, let alone ask Wang Shilang.The voice was loud enough, several people led Ma Xunsheng to look, and a person came out from the forest in the west.The man who came was riding a black war horse, and the man on the horse was wearing a fanyang felt hat; he was wearing a white satin shirt with a longitudinal sash; Cloth boots; carrying a simple knife behind his back.

Wang Bang saw that the person who came here was not very old, that is, he was about 20 years old, with a build of seven feet five or six;

He Libo cupped his hands and asked: "We are following Wang Shilang to Liao Dynasty by the emperor's order. When did this little brother stop the way?"

The people who came got off their horses and cupped their hands and said, "My servant, Han Derong, is a guard under Liu Zhifu of Daizhou. He was ordered by Liu Zhifu to deliver a letter to Wang Shilang."

This appearance is not bad, Wang Pang looked at Han Derong and felt that he was a talent, He Libo went forward to fetch the letter and handed it to Wang Pang, it turned out that the magistrate of this generation of state was Liu Yongnian, the former Danzhou regiment trainer.This Han Derong was given to Wang Pang by Liu Yongnian. Wang Pang read the letter and said with a smile: "It is Liu Zhifu's proposal, so you can go with us. This is my sworn brother He Li Bo He, brother. The ones follow my friends Zhe Kejun and Zhang Ping, you get to know them."

Zhe Kejun and Zhang Ping were very grateful for Wang Pang's introduction. After several people bowed their hands and saluted each other, Han Derong said: "Wang Shilang, I have another letter, which I want to hand over to you personally." One will come.

Wang Pang took the letter, tore off the wax seal and looked at it. After reading it, he took out the fire pocket and blew on it. The pocket lit up, Wang Pang burned the letter casually, and told several people to continue on the road, heading towards Baozhou.
