Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

"Wow!" With the pulling sound of the iron chain, the wooden door of the Shangjing Dungeon was opened, and the dazzling light immediately shone into this dark place. The shadow creeps inside, as if countless earth ghosts were awakened.

A bald old man limped down carrying two wooden barrels. The prison fences on both sides soon posted many people who were so dirty that they could not even see their skin. "Fan...fan..." Khitan with various accents came, and they seemed to only know this Khitan word.

The old man remained unmoved, and scooped a spoonful of slimy in each of the outstretched tiles.

The bald old man walked to a cell and couldn't help but peek inside, because the other cells were closed with many people, and there was only one person in this room. It was a man, with disheveled hair that seemed to have been in a bun, without shaved head. He sat there in a daze and didn't stretch out his bowl.

"Eat?" The old man called out.

The Han'er came back to his senses, staring blankly at the contents of the wooden barrel, still emitting a stale stench, and Han'er's throat squirmed. He sighed, stretched out a bowl weakly, and said in a skilled Khitan language: "Give me some water, thank you."

After hearing this, the old man gave him a cold look and didn't speak, so he scooped a spoonful of muddy water into the bowl.

At this moment, the bright hole above dimmed slightly, and several people appeared there. The old man turned around and looked over: "Who?"

The Khitan warrior guarding the door said: "King Song (Yelv Xiyin), King Yue (Yelv must take photos) come here!"

After listening, the old man dropped his spoon and bent down to face it.

"Where is it?" asked a big guy with a beard so hard that he was one of Yelu Abaoji's grandsons, Yelu Xiyin. Behind him is the Yue King Yelu Bisha, his face and robe dressing are much gentler.

"Lord, come here." An official said.

A group of people walked over, and the Han'er inside was putting down the bowl of muddy water. The official outside said again: "This person is Fan Zhongyi."

Fan Zhongyi sat on the ground for a moment, then suddenly got up, slapped on the wood, his expression was agitated, and his eyes were red. The guard was taken aback, and quickly stood in front of the nobles, shouting: "What are you crazy?"

Fan Zhongyi shouted in a hoarse voice: "King Song, King Yue, I have important things to confess, Yang Dagon is a traitor! Don't believe him, the Khitans are not more trustworthy than Han'er..."

Yelv Xiyin pushed away the guard in front, and looked at Fan Zhongyi with a sneer. Fan Zhongyi stared again: "I want to see Duke Xiao, let me see Duke Xiao!"

Unexpectedly, Yelv Xiyin ignored him at all and turned to ask King Yue: "Why do you still keep this traitor?"

The King Yue thought for a while and said: "It is said that such characters as Fan Zhongyi cannot bear the heavy responsibility of Hedong's defeat. After being taken into prison, they were not executed in time for fear that there would be an instigator."

Yelu Xi said in displeasedness: "Get him out, and his whole family, and deprive the public alive!"

The King Yue hurriedly persuaded: "The King Song had better not make such a big battle. There are many Han people living in the southern city of Shangjing, all serving for Daliao..."

Fan Zhongyi also knelt down suddenly, and said anxiously, "Lord, please spare your life! Forgive my children and let me do anything, I'm still useful!"

"Dogs are not as good, what's the use? Dogs at least won't harm the master." Yelv Xiyin was angry and contemptuous.

Fan Zhongyi hurriedly said, "Please let me see Duke Xiao!"

The King Yue also persuaded in a deep voice: "Let's not care about this for now, we are still prepared to deal with the people on the Wang account side. I heard that Xiao Siwen has gone to Xu Guo to negotiate a peace. Once they vacate their hands, they will definitely return to Beijing to deal with us."

"Stripped it!" Yelvxi said secretly, "Look for someone who is familiar with skinning sheep, don't let them die too happily." After that, he left.

King Yue stayed for a while and said to Fan Zhongyi: "Wang Song has broken with Wang Zhang, how can I see it?"

Fan Zhongyi desperately hit the wooden fence with his thin body, yelling and crying, his voice echoing in the dark dungeon, like a ghost crying.

...

Chanzhou City on the south bank of the Yellow River. Xiao Simwen and other Liao envoys were not immediately summoned formally. The person who received them was the official of the Ministry of Rites Lu Duoxun. Lu Duoxun must first negotiate with Xiao Simwen and others privately.

At this time, Xiao Siwen was very dissatisfied. He picked up a piece of paper and pointed to the surface of the paper and asked Lu Duoxun: "What does the brotherhood mean? Why did the Daliao Emperor want to be his brother?"

"Don't be irritable, Xiaogong, don't be irritable." Lu Duoxun was very calm, and he said in a calm tone: "It is clear that the state of Korea will be at a disadvantage when it is closed at this time. The two countries do not turn their enemies into friends, and are worthy of each other as brothers. How does the Da Xu court explain the country of Korea?"

Lu Duoxun’s tone gradually increased, and his expression became serious: "The two countries did not call father, son, monarch and minister, or uncle and nephew the rites of generation (the Liao and Northern Han dynasties), but the rites of brothers of the same generation. Xiao Gong Both the monarchs and ministers of the Liao Kingdom should put aside their old ideas and look at the current strengths and weaknesses. Who is attacking and who is struggling to support it? Liao does not claim to be a brother, dare to continue to be a big brother?"

Xiao Siwen stood up suddenly, "I dare not agree to this covenant!"

Lu Duoxun stopped his sharp gaze, and then persuaded: "Duke Xiao is better to weigh and consider before expressing his position. The Liao State only suffers a small loss in the name, and probably did not ask the Liao State to pay tribute... this time The Liao Kingdom still wants to take advantage of it, so what else to talk about, Xiao Gong might as well take the letter back and tell the Lord of the Liao Kingdom to continue to gather troops to fight!"

Xiao Siwen took a deep breath, as if to suppress the bad breath, and said, "Let us discuss it."

"Send guests off!" Ludoson shouted decisively.

When Xiao Siwen returned to the hall, he immediately annoyed: "If this old man of the covenant agrees, wouldn't it be a sinner?"

Yang Dagon said calmly: "Lu Duoxun is right to say that in such a situation, if Daliao does not suffer a loss, it seems impossible. Of course, we would rather give away some goods, but the actual tribute is not the same as admitting. What is the difference between the high status of the country?"

Xiao Siwen still doesn't let go, he fully understands what responsibility he will bear...In fact, it is a scapegoat! Negotiations are not his proposition.

The four of them didn't even care about dinner in the hotel, and they argued until midnight. Later, I was tired, and several people leaned on their chairs and remained silent.

At this moment, suddenly there was an "ah" outside! Xiao Siwen and others were startled, and they all sat up straight and listened to the movement outside. The shouting continued, and there seemed to be a fight.

A person stood up and said, "Go and see what's going on."

Xiao Siwen said: "Beware of fraud."

As soon as the voice fell, there was a bang on the door outside. Then there was a loud bang, the door latch broke, and a sturdy taker who was holding a cherry gun staggered in, and then two more people came in.

Yang Dagon had already lifted up a waist stool in his hand, and cried out in Chinese: "Who is here?"

The Wufu holding the cherry gun came in backwards, turned his head and said: "There is an assassin! Let's guard the door, wait and look at the window!"

Xiao Siwen was observing the sudden incident suspiciously. With a "bang", he saw the Wufu who had just spoken on his back, with a crossbow bolt stuck in his forehead, and the tail of the feather was still shaking due to the force, and a pool of blood was coming from the Wufu. Dipping out under his helmet. The remaining two takers hurriedly closed the door and stood ready.

Xiao Siwen stared at the corpse and forgot to close his mouth. He originally thought it was a trick, but Xu Guowei was killed alive! Xiao Siwen realized the seriousness of the matter.

At this moment, Yang Dagon rushed forward, pulled out the single knife from the waist of the corpse, turned his head and threw it in front of Xiao Siwen. Then he drew a shuttle spear from the man's back and threw it to the other messenger. He took the cherry spear in his hand.

"Cracky_crack..." The short crossbow suddenly came through the window! Except for a few pieces of wood, the window was pasted with paper.

Before Xiao Siwen could react, his face was hot, and a crossbow swept his face and flew over. Xiao Siwen's expression changed, "Kang Dang" overturned the coffee table and hid behind. Upon seeing this, Yang Dagon and others also drew a scoop in the same way, and quickly overturned the coffee table.

"Hey!" An axe swung across the window, and the wooden strips and window paper were swept everywhere. Then a big man in black came out half-length.

"Drink!" Yang Dagon yelled, violently grabbing the cherry gun and stabbing. Unexpectedly, with a "ding", the cherry spear stabbed into the armor, and the man was wearing plate armor under his black robe! The metal on the neckline flashed under the light.

Yang Dagon stared in anger, spread his legs to stand on the lower plate, and slammed it again. The man waved his axe, a beat later, this time the sakura spear was inserted into the armor of the big man, the man screamed, the axe fell, and the sakura spear's wooden handle was broken with a "bang"!

At this time, the remaining two guards rushed over. The strong man waved again, "cang" on an iron-skin round wooden shield, hitting one of the guards back several steps, and the other with a single knife and slashed. Past. At this time, other black-robed assassins also crawled in from the window.

The guards stepped back to protect Xiao Siwen and others~www.readwn.com~ angrily said at the two people over the window: "You waited for the soldiers of Da Xu, and killed Da Xu soldiers!"

The strong man said: "You are actually protecting the thief!"

The guard said: "The responsibility lies. Where do you put the official will?"

Yang Dagon had abandoned the wooden handle and resumed exercises _ set up a round stool and shouted: "Go to the bedroom!" After that, he turned around and ran with Xiao Siwen. The two guards also ran back and turned around with their swords and shields to fight.

"Clang!" There was a violent metal crash at the door, sparks flashed, and then there was another roar, "Kang Dang...ah!"

There was a rapid sound of "Da Da Da..." outside, which was the movement of many horse hooves on the brick floor. Yang Dagon said: "The cavalry is here! Hold the door for help."

This bedroom has only one rear window, which opens very high and has a small opening. There is almost only this small door in the gap, which can be held by a few people. The soldiers at the door are wearing plate armor. It is not difficult to delay a little.

Xiao Siwen ran here in a panic, and only then recovered a little. Yang Dagon was indeed very good at using soldiers when he was in a hurry. No matter what, Yang Dagon did save his life tonight!
