5days ago traverse Novels 2
Hurry up!With the sound of iron chains pulling, the wooden door of the Shangjing dungeon was opened, and the dazzling light immediately shone into this dark place.

The shadows inside squirmed, as if countless earth ghosts were awakened.

A bald old man limped down with two wooden barrels.

There were many people so dirty that they could not even see their skin on the prison fences on both sides.

Fried...Fan... When Khitan language with various accents came, they seemed to know only this Khitan word.

The old man was unmoved and scooped a spoonful of sticky things into each sticky tile bowl.

The bald old man walked to a cell and couldn't help but stretched his head inside to look in, because there were many people in other cells, and there was only one person in this cell.

It was a Han man, his hair was messy and he seemed to have a bun and had not shaved his brain.

He sat there in a daze, without stretching out the bowl.

Eat Ah?The old man called out.

The Han man came to his senses and stared at the things in the wooden barrel in a daze, which emitted a stale stench. The Han man's throat squirmed.

He sighed, stretched out a bowl weakly, and said in skillful Khitan words: Give some water, thank you.

After hearing this, the old man looked at him coldly, and without saying a word, he scooped a spoonful of turbid water and poured it into the bowl.

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

The Khitan warrior guarding the door said: King Song (Yelu Xiyin) and King Yue (Yelu Bi) are here!

After hearing this, the old man threw down the spoon and bent down to face the other side.

Where?A big man with a very hard beard asked, "That man was Yelu Xiyin, one of Yelu Abaoji's grandsons.

Walking behind him was King Yelu Bishe of Yue, whose face and robe were much gentler.

The prince comes here.An official said.

The group walked over and the Han people inside were putting down the bowl of turbid water.The official outside said again: This person is Fan Zhongyi.

Fan Zhongyi sat on the ground for a moment and suddenly got up, grabbed the wood with a slap, and his eyes were red.

The guard was startled and quickly blocked the nobles and shouted: Why are you crazy?

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

Yelu Xiyin pushed away the guard in front and looked at Fan Zhongyi with a sneer.Fan Zhongyi glared again and said: I want to see Mr. Xiao, let me see Mr. Xiao!

Unexpectedly, Yelu Xiyin ignored him and turned to ask King Yue: Why are you still keeping this traitor?

King Yue thought for a while and said: It is said that people like Fan Zhongyi cannot bear the heavy responsibility of the defeat in Hedong. After being imprisoned, they did not execute the execution in time, for fear that there would be envoys.

Yelu Xiyin said unhappily: Get him out and his whole family will be stripped alive and shown to the public!

The King of Yue hurriedly advised: It is best for King Song to not have such a big battle. There are many Han people living in the southern city of Shangjing, all of whom serve the Liao Dynasty...

Fan Zhongyi also suddenly knelt on the ground and said anxiously: Please spare your life, Your Majesty!Leave my children alone and let me do whatever I want, I still have some use!

What's the use if you're not as good as a dog?At least the dog will not harm the master.Yelu Xiyin was both angry and contemptuous.

Fan Zhongyi hurriedly said: Please let me see Mr. Xiao!

The King of Yue also advised in a deep voice: We don’t have to take this matter into consideration for now, but we should prepare to deal with the people on the other side of the king’s tent.I heard that Xiao Siwen has gone to Xu Guo to negotiate peace. Once they free up their hands, they will definitely return to Beijing to deal with us.

Peeled!Yelu Xiyin said, look for skilled hands to peel sheepskins and don’t let them die too much.After saying that, he left.

King Yue stayed for a while and said to Fan Zhongyi: How can you tell that King Song has broken up with the king's tent?

Fan Zhongyi tried his best to hit the wooden fence with his thin body, shouting and crying bitterly, his voice echoing in the dark dungeon, as if he was crying and howling.

……

The city of Chanzhou on the south bank of the Yellow River.Xiao Siwen and other Liao envoys were not officially summoned immediately, and the person who received them was Lu Duosun, an official of the Ministry of Rites.Lu Duosun wanted to negotiate the conditions privately with Xiao Siwen and others.

At this time, Xiao Siwen was very dissatisfied. He picked up a piece of paper and pointed to the paper and asked Lu Duosun: What does a brotherly country mean? Why did the Emperor of the Great Liao resign as his younger brother?

Don’t be impatient if you are a little at ease, don’t be impatient if you are a little at ease.Lu Duosun was very calm and said in a gentle tone: Da Xu's withdrawal of troops at this time would obviously put Goryeo in an unfavorable position.If the two countries of Liao do not turn enemies into friends and call each other brothers, how can the Daxu court explain to the Goryeo Kingdom?

Lu Duosun's tone gradually became heavier, and his expression became serious: the two countries did not call the rituals of father, son, monarch and minister, or uncle and nephew (formerly Liao and Northern Han countries), but were the rituals of brothers of peers.Both Duke Xiao and the monarchs and ministers of the Liao Kingdom should put aside their old ideas and see where they are now strong and weak. Who is attacking and who is working hard to support them?Liao Kingdom doesn’t call it a brother, so how can it continue to be the eldest brother?

Xiao Siwen suddenly stood up. I dare not agree to this agreement!

Lu Duosun stopped his sharp eyes and advised: Mr. Xiao should think more about it before he can express his opinion.The Liao Kingdom just suffered a small loss on the false reputation, and Daxu did not ask the Liao Kingdom to pay tribute... At this time, the Liao Kingdom still wanted to take advantage of all the advantages, so what else can I talk about? Mr. Xiao might as well bring the letter back and ask the Liao Kingdom Lord to continue gathering troops to fight!

Xiao Siwen took a deep breath, as if he had suppressed his anger and said: Let us discuss it.

see a visitor out!Ludoson shouted decisively.

Xiao Siwen and others returned to the inn, and he immediately said annoyed: If I agree to this covenant, wouldn’t it be a sinner?

Yang Gun said calmly: Lu Duoxun has something right. The situation is like this. It seems unreasonable if the Liao Dynasty does not suffer any loss at all.Of course we would rather give some money, but the reality of tribute is different from recognizing the status of the two countries?

Xiao Siwen still didn't let go. He fully understood what responsibility he would take... It was actually a shady blame!Peacekeeping is not his claim.

The four of them didn't even bother to eat dinner in the restaurant and argued until midnight.Later, I was tired and several people leaned on the chair and remained silent.

Just then, suddenly there was a sound outside!Xiao Siwen and others were startled and sat upright and listened to the movements outside.The shouts continued to come, as if there were still fighting.

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

Xiao Siwen said: Beware of fraud.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of bang bang bang bang... knocking the door outside.

Then there was a loud bang, the door latch broke, and a martial artist wearing a strong and holding a cherry gun staggered in, and then two more people came in.

Yang Gun had already picked up a round stool and held it in his hand, and shouted in Chinese: Who is coming?

The warrior holding the cherry gun stepped back and turned around and said: There is an assassin!Let's guard the door, and you'll wait and look at the window!

Xiao Siwen was observing the sudden incident in confusion. Suddenly, with a bang, he saw the martial artist who was just talking and fell to the ground with a crossbow on his forehead. The feather tail was still shaking due to the fierce force, and a pool of blood soaked out from under the martial artist's helmet.

The remaining two martial artists hurriedly closed the door and were ready for battle.

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

At this time, Yang Gun rushed forward, pulled out the single knife from the waist of the body, and turned around and threw it in front of Xiao Siwen.Then he pulled out a shuttle gun from the man's back and threw it to another messenger, and he held the cherry gun in his hand.

Crackly... The short crossbow arrow suddenly came in through the window!Except for a few pieces of wood, the window was covered with paper.

Before Xiao Siwen could react, his face became hot and a crossbow arrow flew over his face.

Xiao Siwen's face changed, and he overturned the coffee table with a clang and hid behind.

Seeing this, Yang Gun and others followed suit and quickly overturned the tea table.

Bang!Axe swung over the window, and the wooden strips and window paper were swept and flew everywhere.Then a big man in black crawled out half of his body.

drink!Yang Gun screamed, suddenly grabbed the cherry gun and stabbed it.

Unexpectedly, with a ding-down sound, 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 Gun glared angrily, spread his legs and stood down, and stabbed him again with a sudden shot.

The man swung his axe and was beaten a little late. This time the cherry gun was inserted into the man's armor. The man screamed in pain and smashed the axe, breaking the wooden handle of the cherry gun with a bang!

At this time, the remaining two guards rushed over, and the strong man waved again, slashed on an iron wooden shield, and beat a guard to take several steps back, and the other guard slashed at him with a single knife.

At this time, other black-robed assassins also climbed in through the window.

The guards retreated to protect Xiao Siwen and others, and said angrily to the two people on the other side of the window: You and Da Xu's soldiers actually killed Da Xu's soldiers!

The strong man said: You are actually protecting the bandits!

The guard said: Where is the responsibility.Where did you place the official decree?

Yang Gun had abandoned the wooden handle, and then picked up a round stool with his waist and shouted: Go to the bedroom!After saying that, he turned around and ran with Xiao Siwen and others.The two guards also turned around and turned around to fight with swords and shields.

clang!There was a violent metal collision at the door, a spark flashed, and then another loud roar, clang...Ah!

There was a thrill outside... a rapid sound, which was the movement of many horse hooves stepping on the brick floor.Yang Gun said: The cavalry is here!Keep guarding the door and wait for help.

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

Xiao Siwen ran here and was still in shock, and then he came back to his senses. Yang Gun was indeed very good at using troops when he was in a hurry.No matter what, Yang Gun did save his life tonight!
