There is a beautiful woman in the southern country, dancing with a light green waist.
Hua Yan Jiuqiu twilight, flying clothes blowing through the clouds and rain.
As graceful as orchids and emerald greens, graceful as a floating dragon.
The more beautiful the river is, the more beautiful Wu Ji stops.
The slow state cannot be exhausted, and the complicated postures are bound to the end.
Low lotuses break through the waves, and the messy snow lingers in the wind.
When the Er falls, the veil flows, and the train is repaired in an attempt to trace the sky.
I am worried that I can't catch it, so I fly away to chase the startling giant. (Poetry by Li Qunyu, Tang Dynasty)
Liu Chengjun, the prince of the Northern Han Dynasty in Taiyuan County, entertained guests at the palace. The music was melodious and the dancers were as graceful as flying. Twenty-six-year-old Liu Chengjun wore a jade crown on his head and sat on the main seat in the palace wearing a satin robe. The sapphire in front of him
There were delicious dishes on the table, and several people in regular clothes were sitting on the tables on the left and right sides below, including Yelu Zongwu, Liu Gongwen and others.
While everyone was admiring the graceful dancing of the pretty beauties in the palace, who were as light as flying and with sleeves as long as dragons, they drank from cup to cup. When the song came to an end, everyone clapped their hands and applauded. Liu Chengjun signaled the musicians and dancers to step back.
He raised his wine glass and said to Yelu Zongwu who was sitting at the head of the right table: "Come, General Yelu, I would like to toast the general with a drink."
Yelu Zongwu smiled and raised his glass to greet him, "Thank you, Your Highness."
The two looked at each other, smiled, and drank the wine in one gulp.
Liu Chengjun put down his wine glass and looked at Liu Gongwen at the second table, saying: "It's a pity that the best opportunity was missed, which made Mr. Liu's plan fail this time."
It turned out that the Emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty wanted to go south to attack the Later Zhou Dynasty and asked for the support of the Liao Kingdom. Not long after Yelujing ascended the throne, he had just experienced civil strife and the national strength was still weak. However, he was afraid that the Zhou Dynasty would gain power, so he came to seize the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun and sent Xiao Yanbei.
They sent envoys to the Northern Han Dynasty and the Southern Tang Dynasty to discuss the matter of uniting the Northern Han Dynasty and the Southern Tang Dynasty to attack the Later Zhou Dynasty from north to south.
When Xiao Yanbei arrived in the Northern Han Dynasty with Yelv Zongwu and Liu Gongwen, the Emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty was considering taking action against the Zhejia Army in Hexi Fuzhou. The reason was that the Zhejia Army repeatedly harassed and invaded the rear, making it impossible to concentrate on attacking the rear.
Zhou used troops.
The Zhejia army was always tabooed by the Liao people, and Xiao Yanbei had no objection to using troops against it. After Liu Gongwen heard about it, he came up with a plan to use poison, using "Chaoxi Powder" and insect poison to spread the poisonous epidemic, causing the disease to spread.
The soldiers and civilians in Fuzhou were infected with the plague and lost their ability to resist. Considering the many innocent people, Xiao Yanbei did not agree with Liu Gongwen's poisonous plan. After he went to the Southern Tang Dynasty, Liu Gongwen encouraged Yelu Zongwu to use this plan.
Offer.
In his early years, Yelu Zongwu was under the jurisdiction of Xiao Yanbei, so he was naturally in awe of Xiao Yanbei. At this time, he became the commander-in-chief of the South Courtyard Guard House, breaking away from Xiao Yanbei's control. In addition, he coveted the succession to the title of King Yan and wanted to make contributions.
This time, he also shouldered the mission of forming a business alliance with the Northern Han Dynasty, so he also agreed to Liu Gongwen's plan to poison the enemy. After offering it to Liu Min, they hit it off immediately and sent a spy to poison the Zhejia army. Unexpectedly, Guo Rong unexpectedly
Being able to invite Miao Changning solved the poison of "scattered day and night".
"If it had been ten days earlier, Fuzhou would have been breached. Liu never expected that the Zhejia army would be able to find the people from Yaowang Valley." Liu Gongwen could know that it was Miao Changning who cured the poison he had administered, so he was naturally a potential
From a secret post in Fuzhou, it was reported that a man with the surname Miao came to the army to detoxify and save people.
A guest from the prince's palace on the left continued: "Businessmen value profits, and officials leave their names. But I don't know that soldiers are crafty, huh." But seeing Yelu Zongwu looking at him from the opposite side, his face looked unkind, and he hurriedly stopped and said nothing.
When Liu Chengjun saw this, he laughed: "A warrior has his own integrity. It's no wonder... If the Zhejia army in Fuzhou is not eliminated, it will always be my big man's worry."
After a pause, he added: "Xiao Dutong is a famous general of the Liao Dynasty, and the Zhe family army is brave and good at fighting... This time, I am reporting to my father, Emperor Ming, and submitting a letter requesting the Emperor of Liao Dynasty to send Xiao Dutong and my Han soldiers to attack Fuzhou Zhe."
What does General Yelu think of the family army?"
Yelu Zongwu always looked down on the soldiers of the Northern Han Dynasty. Hearing what Liu Chengjun said, he felt proud in his heart. He raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "What Your Highness the Prince said is absolutely true, and this general also means this, haha... Your Highness the Prince, everyone,
I drink this to help Xiao Du unify the Southern Tang Dynasty and make the alliance smooth."
After a while of drinking and changing glasses, Yelv Zongwu and Liu Gongwen, who were full of wine and food, were escorted out of the house by Liu Chengjun, got on the waiting carriage, and went to where they stayed. Luo Gongwen, who was hiding not far away,
After Xiaoyao saw him, he secretly followed him.
It turned out that Luo Xiaoyao said goodbye to Gao Ruoyu that day and went north to Taiyuan. He wanted to sneak into the prince's mansion and steal the Fengwu Qin. Although it was his first time to enter the world alone, he knew that the prince's mansion was an unusual place and must be heavily guarded, so he wanted to observe the prince first.
The terrain around the house can be used as a retreat in case of unexpected events.
Unexpectedly, when they came to the vicinity of the Prince's Mansion, they saw Liu Gongwen and Yelu Zongwu entering the Prince's Mansion. He couldn't help but be shocked, but thinking that Liu Gongwen was the one who harmed the Master's wife, how could Luo Xiaoyao let him go, so he crouched down.
Waiting secretly, preparing to follow Liu Gongwen and find out where he is staying.
It was already three o'clock in the morning, and there was no one on the road. Luo Xiaoyao did not dare to approach, so he could only follow the carriage from a distance. After half a stick of incense, the carriage stopped at the entrance of a courtyard, but saw Liu Gongwen and Yelv Zongwu.
After getting off the car and entering, I stepped forward and took a look. It was the Duting Post House specially designed for the envoys of the Liao Dynasty.
Luo Xiaoyao would not act rashly, and he knew that the guards of this post house were not easy to take lightly. After thinking about it, he wanted to go to the Taiyuan branch of Tongbao Pavilion to find Xu Guangzhi to discuss how to deal with it. He just walked to the street not far from the post house.
, three people suddenly jumped out of the street on the left, it was Liu Gongwen and two guards with swords.
After Liu Gongwen was assassinated by Chu Nanfeng when he broke into the guard house, he acted more cautiously. He and Yelu Zongwu left the prince's house and got on the carriage. They also peeked out from the curtains of the carriage to prevent anyone from following them, but they found that more than ten people were following him.
A man appeared and disappeared ten feet away. Feeling suspicious, he entered the post house and quickly took two guards out of the back door, hoping to capture the person following him.
When they arrived at the intersection, they met Luo Xiaoyao walking back. When he saw Luo Xiaoyao's face, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Is it you?" In shock, he shouted to the guard beside him: "Get him."
This time when Xiao Yanbei and Yelu Zongwu came to the Northern Han Dynasty, they brought a lot of guards with them. However, because the road to the Southern Tang Dynasty was far away and there was fear of something unexpected happening on the way, Xiao Yanbei asked four of them who were cultivators of spiritual mind to accompany them, leaving them behind.
The guards in the Northern Han Dynasty were all in the realm of Gui Zhen and Gu Yuan.
After Liu Gongwen saw that it was Luo Xiaoyao, he was worried that Weng Mu was nearby, but said that it was impossible to escape. Now he just hoped to capture Luo Xiaoyao as soon as possible for the purpose of kidnapping him. He and Luo Xiaoyao were in Daizhou Canyon
Having fought before, I knew it would not be easy to deal with, so out of fear I let my guards take action first.
Luo Xiaoyao, however, had no weapons in his hands and knew that with his own skills, he would not be a match for Liu Gongwen and the three of them together. When Liu Gongwen shouted, he took the initiative and struck the Gao who was about to draw his sword with a palm.
He used the right elbow of the tall guard to slap the unsheathed blade back into the sheath, and at the same time punched the guard's armpit. The speed was so fast that in the blink of an eye, although the tall guard had already returned to the realm of true perfection, Luo Xiaoyao could not help but
The attack was quick, ruthless and accurate. Although he dodged it, he was hit on the shoulder. He took a few steps back and hit the courtyard wall. However, he felt that half of his body was numb and he couldn't move for a while.
When the blow was successful, another guard beside him was already slashing towards him with a sword. Luo Xiaoyao withdrew his right foot to avoid the blade, and used the "Flowing Water Eastward" move of Wuji Palm. The guard's skill was also natural.
Not weak, after slashing the air with his sword, he counterattacked and pushed forward. Unexpectedly, Luo Xiaoyao's palm energy was so strong that his right wrist was numbed by the wind of the palm. The sword force also stagnated. Luo Xiaoyao punched out with his left fist again.
He came towards me again and hurriedly retreated to avoid it.
Liu Gongwen did not expect that in recent years, Luo Xiaoyao's martial arts had improved so much, and his fist and palm skills were not weak. When he saw Luo Xiaoyao forcing back the two guards with two or three moves, he was surprised and used the "Zhou Tianzhi" move.
Use it to point directly at the "Shenzang point" on Luo Xiaoyao's chest.
Luo Xiaoyao snorted softly, and struck with the "Sinking Stone into the Sea" with his Wuji Palm, removing the energy from Liu Gongwen's attack, and struck out several palms in succession. With two guards around him, he did not dare to be careless.
All his moves were offensive, including "fighting the wind and breaking the waves", "sailing against the current", and "overturning the clouds and rain", but they also forced Liu Gongwen to change from offense to defense.
The two of them immediately fought for seven or eight moves, and the two guards came forward with their swords raised, thinking they were waiting for an opportunity to sneak attack. Luo Xiaoyao secretly thought that something was wrong, so he shouted violently and used the "Kang Long Bu" move from Xingxiu Sword Technique.
"Yu" attacked, and his energy was like a sword, forcing Liu Gongwen in front of him to retreat. At the same time, his body flashed to the right, and he wanted to leave on the roof, but he saw Liu Gongwen flicking two black dots on his hand towards the door.
It came at a rapid speed, thinking it was a hidden weapon. I paused and then swung out with a palm, but I heard a "chi" sound. The black dots broke open and smoke was covered. However, I smelled a faint fragrance and heard Liu Gongwen shouting.
"Hold him."
Luo Xiaoyao's heart was afraid that it was poisonous, but he felt it was fine after a sudden change of energy. When he calmed down, he heard the sound of a knife piercing the air behind him on the left, and Liu Gongwen in front of him shot out several fingers again, so he had no choice but to duck to the right.
.
When the tall guard on the right saw this, he raised his sword and struck out. Luo Xiaoyao raised his left palm to meet it and struck the blade. At the same time, he stepped forward with his left foot and thrust out his right fist. The tall guard was struck by the first move.
After suffering the loss of this move, he was still frightened, but he sheathed his sword and retreated. Luo Xiaoyao took the opportunity to escape to the right.
Just as he was about to jump up, he felt a chill behind him, and a qi machine came like an arrow. He had no choice but to turn around and avoid it, only to see Liu Gong Wenming's palm strike with his palm, and the palm qi was awe-inspiring. At this time, he couldn't avoid it, so he stepped out.
Welcome him with your palm.
There was a muffled sound of "bang", but Liu Gongwen took two steps back. His energy was stagnated, and a mouthful of blood surged up. He was horrified, and he tried to hold it back. The luck of recovery turned around, but he found that his energy was unexpectedly
It was less than 70% as before. Only then did I realize that the smoke just now contained poisonous smoke that weakened my skills.
The two poison pills shot by Liu Gongwen were "divine wind powder". After half a cup of tea, the power and energy gradually faded away, and it would take twelve hours to recover. Miao Changning originally used this "divine wind powder"
It was given to Weng Mu. Unexpectedly, when Weng Mu broke into the guard house to fight with Chu Nanfeng, he accidentally dropped it, but Liu Gongwen got it.
Liu Gongwen's true biography of Miao Changning has extraordinary medical skills. After several studies, he actually discovered the medicinal ingredients of "Shenfeng Powder" and practiced several "Shenfeng Powder". If it weren't for one of the herbs, it would be extremely difficult to find.
, I’m afraid he will throw away a lot of it.
But seeing Luo Xiaoyao being knocked back by him, Liu Gongwen knew in his heart that the Divine Wind Powder was effective, so he used several fingers and pointed Qi to point at key points on Luo Xiaoyao's body. At this time, Luo Xiaoyao was using his powerful moves.
However, his skill dropped sharply and his Qi movement was not smooth. After five moves, Liu Gongwen hit the Qihu point, causing a mouthful of blood to spurt out. He took several steps back and fell to the ground.
Liu Gong Wenxin was afraid that the night would be long and he would have many dreams, so he deceived himself and tried to capture Luo Xiaoyao, but when he heard several "swish, swish" sounds, three cold lights came towards him. He hurriedly froze, used his fingering skills, and struck.
A cold light shot out, and at the same time, the right rear retreated sharply.
Seeing a man in his forties coming in a flash, he leaned over, picked up Luo Xiaoyao and jumped away. He was as fast as lightning. Liu Gongwen waved his sleeves without thinking, and six silver snakes came out of his sleeves and shot quickly.
The man who jumped into the air.
The man who rescued Luo Xiaoyao was Mo Bushan, sent by Gao Ruoyu, the princess of Jingnan County. His wealth and life were all in Gao Ruoyu's hands, so he had to follow Luo Xiaoyao all the way to Taiyuan. He had already reached the level of spiritual cultivation.
Because of his excellent Qinggong skills, Luo Xiaoyao never noticed that he was following him.
While Mo Bushan was following him secretly, he saw Luo Xiaoyao following the carriage that was leaving the house. He was very surprised, but fearing that he might have made a mistake, he had to follow him secretly.
When he saw Luo Xiaoyao being surrounded and fighting, he was praising his skill in his heart. Unexpectedly, the situation suddenly changed. After seeing Luo Xiaoyao vomiting blood and falling to the ground, he was shocked and shot a dart to stop Liu Gongwen.
At the same time, he picked up Luo Xiaoyao and fled.
In mid-air, he heard the sound of "swish, swish" behind him, and knew that a hidden weapon was coming. If he hadn't brought Luo Xiaoyao with him, he would have ignored it with his attainments in Qinggong and walked away. At this moment, he weighed more than a hundred kilograms, but there was nothing he could do.
When he was done, he had no choice but to lower his body, turn around and shoot out with his left palm.
His cultivation was not inferior to Liu Gongwen's, and he thought he could shoot down hidden weapons, but he didn't know that the ones he shot were live snakes. After they were swept to the ground, two of them were still alive. The sound of Liu Gongwen's flute attracted each other.
In the middle, it flew up from the ground and attacked. In a hurry, he could only block it with his palms, but he felt as if he was being pricked by needles on the side of his palms. Although he killed the poisonous snake, he was also attacked by the snake. Mo Bushan knew something was wrong and screamed strangely.
With a sound, he took Luo Xiaoyao and used "Ascending to Heaven", jumped onto the roof and ran away.
Liu Gongwen heard his screams and knew that he had been bitten by a snake, so he called two guards and chased him on the roof. However, he saw the figure flying away, and in an instant he was already forty or fifty feet away.
In my heart, I admired the opponent's Qinggong, but I also secretly rejoiced, but I knew that the snake venom in the opponent's body moved the Qi, and the poisonous gas acted out faster, so I thought I would be able to catch him soon.
As Mo Bu Shan fled quickly, his left hand gradually became numb, and he knew that the poisonous gas was coming. He had no choice but to resist with luck, and his body also slowed down. He had excellent light skills, and the distance between him and Liu Gongwen was already seventy feet away. However,
Because he was distracted to treat the poison, he shrunk down to more than thirty feet. He saw a large courtyard across the street in front of him with lights and trees. With a thought in his mind, he galloped down the street and headed towards the side of the courtyard.
He ran down the alley and jumped into the courtyard. He had been walking around for many years, so naturally he would not jump into the courtyard from the roof to avoid being noticed by the people chasing behind him.
Liu Gongwen saw Mo Busan jumping off the roof more than thirty feet away. When he rushed to the roof on the street, there was no trace. He felt confused, but saw a row of courtyards opposite with lanes on the left and right, so he jumped
He got off the roof and said to the two guards following him: "You two, go check in the alleys on the left and right." He stood in the middle of the street and looked around.
After a while, the two guards ran out of the alley, shook their heads at Liu Gongwen and said, "There was no trace of those two people in the alley or on the street behind the courtyard."
Liu Gongwen thought deeply that Luo Xiaoyao had been injured, and the person who came to rescue him had also been poisoned by the silver snake. No matter how much he cultivated in the spiritual realm, it would take two or three hours to get rid of the poison, but as he ran quickly,
The poison is accelerating, and the poison injury must be serious. It is expected that the poisoned person will not run away, otherwise the poison will attack the heart and it will be difficult for the gods to save him. Thinking of this, he looked up at the courtyard with "Liu Mansion" hanging in front of him, and began to think.
The tall guard followed his gaze and looked at the Liu Mansion, and whispered: "In a few breaths, if he hadn't hidden in a nearby house, he would not have been able to escape from our sight. Why don't we go to the Liu Mansion to investigate
after all?"
Liu Gongwen muttered: "Ordinary officials, unless they are relatives of the emperor, or personally gifted by the emperor, cannot call their house a mansion. And the surname is Liu... I am afraid it has something to do with the royal family, but you cannot force your way in."
The tall guard sneered: "We are the guards of the envoy of Daliao, are we still afraid of him?"
After hearing the words, Liu Gongwen thought for a while, nodded and said: "That's fine, then I'll pay the guards to go and investigate first... but don't be reckless."
The guard surnamed Qian nodded in agreement, walked towards Liu's Mansion, and jumped onto the courtyard wall. Unexpectedly, before he could stand firmly, a burst of punches came, but he was knocked down and fell. Then he heard a "bang" sound, and the door of the mansion opened.
A young man in his twenties with bright eyes walked out. He looked at Liu Gongwen and the others with a majestic expression, and said slowly: "Who are you? How dare you break into Liu's house at night."
Liu Gongwen saw that he was strong and strong, and seemed to have returned to his true state of cultivation. He frowned and cupped his hands and said: "Liu is a minister of the guard house of Daliao South Academy. Your Excellency is the Liu Mansion..." He thought that this young man was not very old.
, I don’t think he is the head of the Liu family.
The young man looked slightly surprised and raised his hand, "Liu Jiye is the master of Liu Mansion."
Liu Gongwen was stunned when he heard this, secretly thinking that he was confused, but he smiled and said: "Oh, it turns out to be Liu Wudi, Commander Liu. I have been looking up to him for so long, so long, and Liu is blind."
This Liu Jiye, whose real surname was Yang, was highly valued by the Northern Han emperor, who gave him the surname Liu, and was appointed as a security commander, stationed at the border between Daizhou and Shuozhou between Han and Liao.
Although the Han and Liao families jointly resisted the Later Zhou Dynasty, they were also wary of each other. The Liao soldiers stationed on the border believed that the Emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty was the son-emperor of the Liao Dynasty and often crossed the border to rob the cattle and property of the border residents of the Northern Han Dynasty.
Liu Jiye didn't want to make the matter bigger, so he went to the Liao soldiers' camp alone and asked for a single fight to determine the ownership of the stolen property according to the rules of the rivers and lakes. The Liao people were aggressive by nature and agreed, but they were no match for Liu Jiye, so they had to
After he returned the things he had robbed, he became known as "Liu Wudi" over time, and he was very famous on the border. Yelv Zongwu had also been defeated by him at the beginning, so Liu Gongwen also knew about his reputation.
Liu Jiye chuckled: "Liu Wudi? Haha, I don't dare to take it seriously. I wonder what Liu Gongfeng did when he came into my house late at night?"
"Two assassins from the Zhou Dynasty sneaked into Dutingyi and wanted to assassinate the envoy. Liu chased them here but disappeared. He was worried that the two would escape into the palace and hurt Mr. Liu's family, so he asked Qian Guard to sneak in to investigate.
"
Liu Jiye said "Oh" and said calmly: "Thank you, Liu, for worrying about it. If an assassin from Zhou Ting breaks in, Liu will kill him. I'm afraid that Master Xi may be chasing in the wrong direction. Why not report it to the government to capture him together?"
"
Liu Gongwen was about to answer when he saw a young man of twenty-six or seventeen years old with thick eyebrows and big eyes walking out of the house. He made a sound when he stepped on the ground, and he was actually in the realm of Mingqiao Valley.
Liu Gongwen was shocked, knowing that there was no benefit to be gained, so he cupped his hands and said: "Liu is so abrupt, I hope Mr. Liu can forgive me." After saying this, he took the two guards and left.
After Liu Jiye watched Liu Gongwen's figure disappear, he turned to the man with thick eyebrows and big eyes and said: "Uncle, these Liao people must be suspicious in their hearts. They will report it to Emperor Ming at dawn... You, Yuxun and those two
The injured martyrs must leave overnight."
It turned out that when Mo Bushan broke in, he had already been discovered by Liu Jiye and others. When Liu Jiye asked, he had to say that he was being hunted by Liao people, and Liu Jiye really hated the Liao people and took action to protect him.
The man nodded, turned around and entered the mansion. When Liu Jiye followed, he said, "Jiye, why don't you and Saihua go to Fuzhou together?"
"I have been married to Saihua for more than a year. If the emperor wanted to kill me because of the Zhe family army, he would have killed me long ago. I don't have to worry, little uncle." Liu Jiye's wife is Zhe Sai, the daughter of the governor of Fuzhou, Zhe Deke.
Hua, and this man with thick eyebrows and big eyes is Zhe Deyu's younger brother Zhe Deshou.
This time, Liu Jiye's son Liu Yanyu was celebrating his first month of life, and it was inconvenient for Zhe Deqi to come, so he sent his clan brother Zhe Deshou and his son Zhe Yuxun to come and celebrate.
Liu Jiye's father, Yang Xin, had been favored by Emperor Liu Zhiyuan of the Later Han Dynasty, and the Emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty, Liu Min, was Liu Zhiyuan's brother. Liu Jiye stayed in the Northern Han Dynasty because he wanted to repay the Liu family. Zhe De Shouxiang knew that there was no hope of persuasion.
He let out a long sigh and said: "It's late at night, how can we get out of the city?"
"Yesterday I came to congratulate General Han and my life-and-death friendship. I also know the identity of my uncle. He happened to be on duty as the inner city guard tonight..." Liu Jiye said as he took out a token from his arms, "Besides, I still have
To protect the commanding officer’s token for leaving the city…”
He turned around and handed the token to a follower beside him, and said: "Yang Zhong, hurry up and prepare a carriage to escort the two injured martyrs, together with the uncle and uncle, out of the city, out of the backyard, and to the back of Fuzhou.
, you go directly to the border castle."
**
In the prince's palace, Liu Chengjun, who had just rested, was awakened by Yelu Zongwu's request for an audience. He came to the hall and asked a little puzzled: "Why is the general so flustered in the middle of the night?"
Yelu Zongwu raised his hand and said: "This matter is so important that I have no choice but to come to disturb His Highness in the middle of the night."
Liu Chengjun said "Oh" in surprise, and then heard Yelv Zong's martial arts: "When I returned to the post house, two assassins from Zhou Ting came in to assassinate me. Fortunately, Mr. Liu found out and chased him all the way... The assassins seemed to have escaped."
Entered a palace."
Liu Chengjun raised his eyebrows: "Fuyuan? Whose mansion?"
"Liu Jiye, the palace of General Liu."
Liu Chengjun was shocked. Not only did his father Liu Min think highly of Liu Jiye, but he himself also admired Liu Jiye very much. The Northern Han Dynasty mainly served the Khitans and was quite despised by the Liao people, but it took someone like Liu Jiye who was both wise and brave.
A general came to frighten the Liao people so as not to be deceived everywhere. Hearing this, he muttered: "Oh, it's Jiye's palace... But General Yelu saw the assassin escape with his own eyes?"
Liu Gongwen, who was beside him, responded: "The two guards around Liu saw it with their own eyes." He also left a way out and did not dare to say that he saw it with his own eyes.
"It's a pity that without the emperor's order, I have no right to search Jiye's residence. Besides, in the middle of the night, the city gate is closed, so they can't escape. If I don't report to the emperor tomorrow, what do you think, General Yelu?"
Zong Wu was the envoy of Daliao at this time, and Liu Chengjun had to seek his advice.
Yelv Zongwu heard his tone and knew that it was a rebuttal. He also knew that the Emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty and the prince valued Liu Jiye. Otherwise, just because Liu Jiye married Zhe Saihua, the ten-headed Liu Jiye would have been chopped off.
