The sharp arrows came flying like rain. Fortunately, Zhe Ziyu and others came from the north. The north wind was strong at the moment, which affected the range of the arrows. When they got close, the sharp arrows had fallen into pieces and were fluttering.
, not much lethality.
The leader of these dozen Jurchen warriors was named Nalu. When he saw that the situation was not good, he immediately shouted: "Let's go!" As he said that, he drove the dog, and the sled drew an arc and came back. The other two vehicles
The sled also moved accordingly and hurriedly fled towards the way it came.
Those galloping in were the troops of Huyan Aobo and Li Jiyun. They were pretending to attack Yanzhou. They originally wanted to attract the Xixia troops stationed in various places to leave their stations and come for reinforcements, and then jump out of the encirclement and fly away.
However, in the eyes of the Xixia generals, they were all a stepping stone for military exploits and promotion. Since Yang Hao took over the Xixia city, a large number of technologies and experiences from the Central Plains were introduced in urban defense. Compared with the past, they were no longer the same.
It would not take three or two days to capture the enemy. With this idea in mind, the soldiers and horses who came to rescue did not rush to Yanzhou immediately. Instead, they pre-judged the direction in which they might escape and intercepted them consciously.
their escape route.
At this time, when Huyan Aobo estimated that all the reinforcements had left their base and were about to rush to Yanzhou, they repeated the same trick they had done before cutting the stronghold and abandoned the camp at night. However, they discovered that they had several escape routes planned in advance.
There were Xixia troops on the streets. If they did not hesitate and rushed over immediately, they might not be able to escape. However, Huyan Aobo was hesitant. He was worried about being ambushed, so he sent out scouts and conducted feint attacks at the same time.
, when he figured out the true strength of the enemy in front of him, the other Xixia troops had already swarmed over like a pack of wolves seeing a rabbit.
Huyan Aobo missed the opportunity and was restrained at every step. He led his army to block the east and west, rush south and north, and fight back and forth. Not only was he unable to move to the Qilian Mountains in the south, he was forced to the north. As a result, he ran into Zhe Ziyu.
A group of people.
Huyan Aobo's men and horses were trapped in a tight siege, with enemies on all sides and no friendly troops, so there was no need to identify Zhe Ziyu and others. They rushed all the way, killing people when they were in the way, and killing Buddhas when they were in the way. There was really no taboo.
"Walk!"
The three snow sledges turned around and turned away. Naru stood on the sledges, drew an arrow, set up his bow and turned around to shoot. The dogs were running fast and the sleds were bumping, but he was able to stand firmly on the snow sledges.
He can also shoot a bow and arrow, which is quite an impressive skill.
"Sa!"
One shot of three arrows, like meteors, followed by a single shot of arrows, one arrow after another, like a volley of arrows. He just raised his wrist slightly, and a feather arrow fell into his hand, and then he quietly shot out the arrow. This hand-held archery skill
Compared with the dozen or so of Li Guangcen's men that day who could block the entire mountain pass with a single quick arrow and suppress the Khitan soldiers and horses, the sharp archers did not hesitate to give in.
Not only can those magic archers fire a flurry of arrows, but they can also shoot five arrows at a time. However, those people are standing firmly on the ground, while Naru is standing on a speeding sled, so it is more difficult.
Huyan Aobo took the lead and charged as wildly as a tiger. Although he was arrogant and arrogant, he was very popular with his subordinates. In addition to being confidant to his own people, he would always charge ahead in bloody battles. This was also the reason. The speed of the sled was faster than that of the gallop.
The horse, with this rapid jump, the two sides have opened a distance. At this time, he is still far away from the sleds in front. Even if the wind speed is taken into account, those arrows shot in front of him will have difficulty piercing Lu Yi and cannot hurt him, so he
Not afraid at all, he didn't even make a move to block.
Unexpectedly, an arrow from Nalu flew towards him, and its momentum was not reduced at all. Huyan Aobo was shocked. He cleared his arrogant heart and hurriedly leaned up to avoid the arrow. Just as he sat up, another arrow hit him.
They chased after him, and hit him in the heart with a "pop" sound. Huyan Aobo screamed in pain, never expecting that he had underestimated the enemy for a moment and was actually injured in the hands of this unknown soldier.
At this time, the third arrow arrived again. Without thinking, Huyan Aobo raised his sword sharply and knocked the arrow away with a "dang" sound. The speed and power of the arrow were so terrifying that it made Huyan Aobo's mouth numb.
I couldn't help but feel horrified. Who was the person in front of me? He actually had such miraculous archery skills.
It turned out that Naru was born with supernatural power and could pull a bull. The range of the strong bow he used was not inferior to the first-class bow equipped by the Xixia army. He had just fired three arrows to stop the enemy when he suddenly saw a big man in the enemy group, roaring in all directions.
His aura was extraordinary, and he expected to be his leader. He immediately greeted him with an arrow and three beads, with the intention of taking his life. However, Huyan Aobo misjudged the man's arm strength and was hit by the arrow.
Huyan Aobo's men and horses were originally rushing all the way, and when they met someone, they instinctively fired arrows to kill them. However, the snow sledges of Nalu and his party were always running in front of them. If they changed directions and fled diagonally, they would have no time to chase them.
, but Naru didn't know the intentions of these enemies, and escaping diagonally could easily shorten the distance with the enemies, so how could he dare to take risks.
Now that Huyan Aobo was in danger, his soldiers were furious and immediately chased Nalu and others with shouts and vowed to drive them all away.
For a time, Zhezi Yu Nalu and others fled in front, Huyan Aobo's men and horses chased behind, and the Xixia army chased behind them in the distance, and they started a race on the vast snowy field.
"They are coming for me, Fifth Young Master, you go to the other sled and I will lead them away."
After fighting for nearly an hour, the dogs pulling the sled were exhausted and out of breath. The pursuers behind were also weak and could no longer charge. The Xixia army had been thrown far away, unless they followed the horse's hoofs.
Otherwise, there is no chance of catching up with them. It was almost dusk now, and a huge red sun as big as a wheel was about to sink into the horizon. By then, the Xixia army would definitely lose their traces, but Ziyu and Nalu's snow
But Liao could no longer hold on until that time.
Naru also saw clearly this round of dealings. Those people were chasing after them at first, and he had obviously injured their important person. Just after chasing him all the way, he shot all the two pots of arrows, and almost all of them were empty.
Fa, an unknown number of people have died in his hands. Even if their leader is not injured, those people will not let him go. He has the entrustment of the young clan leader, but he cannot let this great benefactor of his clan be endangered.
"Can we stop? As soon as the sled stopped, they caught up." In the face of the enemy, Zhe Ziyu looked calm. Princess Yongqing's face turned pale, but she had a lot of experience, even though sharp arrows were flying around her from time to time.
, but I never screamed in fear.
"I'll throw you over."
Seeing that the situation was critical, Naru called out to another snow sledge and exchanged a few words quickly. As the sled ran, they approached.
"Send her there first!" Zhe Ziyu pointed at Princess Yongqing and said.
Naru didn't say much. He gave up his bow and arrow and picked up Princess Yongqing. He threw her away, and a big man caught Princess Yongqing and put her on the sled. Naru turned back.
When he went to hug Zhe Ziyu again, Zhe Ziyu screamed: "Be careful!" He dodged him and struck behind him with a sword.
It turned out that the two sleds were about to change hands halfway, and the speed slowed down a little. The pursuers behind noticed something was wrong, and immediately fired arrows. Zhe Ziyu struck with an arrow, only to feel a shadow in front of his eyes flash, and it hit the air.
The arrow was as fast as lightning and had already broken through the air. With a pop, it hit Naru's back shoulder. Naru grunted and almost fell down due to the force of the arrow.
This delay caused the pursuers to get closer. Seeing that he could not leave, Zhe Ziyu immediately shouted: "Let's go separately!"
Seeing this, the Jurchen warriors over there knew that it would be difficult to pick her up, so they gritted their teeth and shook the reins before leaving. The two sleds went their separate ways, but the third sled made an arc and turned back to Hu Yanao.
Bo's men rushed towards them, determined to buy them time to escape on their own.
The two sleds carrying Zhe Ziyu and Princess Yongqing went their separate ways. The pursuers still only focused on the car Naru was in. The self-sacrificial sled was like a small reef and was quickly destroyed.
The enemy was overwhelmed by the surging tide, and they bought a glimmer of time for Nalu and Zhe Ziyu. However, Nalu was hit by an arrow, and no one could control the dogs. The dogs ran wildly, and the sled sled from a rock half-hidden in the snow.
The skis slid through the skis and bumped heavily. Naru, Zhe Ziyu and another soldier standing at the tail of the skid were suddenly thrown into the air and fell heavily to the snow.
The dogs dragged the empty sled and fled. When they got up from the snow pit after falling to pieces, the enemy's cavalry had already caught up with them.
"Ah!" Nalu shouted desperately, pulled out his saber with a "choking" sound, and pounced forward.
"Drink!" There was a sound of clothes fluttering in the wind, but it was Li Jiyun who jumped off his horse and stood down from a high position. With the sharp sound of the wind, the long knife in his hand rushed towards Nalu like a train. At the same time, several more people rushed towards him.
Another warrior.
"Dang!" There was a sound, and Naru, who had been hit by an arrow on his shoulder, could not use his full strength. Li Jiyun was also a person with amazing brute strength. When the swords collided, Naru's sword was immediately raised high by the impact. The quality of his sword
Unfortunately, the blade was raised, and before it could be slashed down with any force, it was broken from the middle. Naru was also fierce, and he rushed forward, cut off his hand, and stabbed Li Jiyun's thigh with the knife.
Li Jiyun screamed, raised his other leg and kicked Nalu in the chest, kicking him into the air. The steel knife in his hand flew up like a halo, and slashed through his neck with a "swipe", and blood spattered.
A good head has risen into the sky.
The sky has completely darkened, and there is only a ray of setting sun in the sky. The blood is rising in the air, like a sad sunset. Li Jiyun staggers a step, leans on the ground with a knife, and watches the hat fall into the snow, revealing his pretty daughter's face.
Zhe Ziyu said with a ferocious smile: "It's actually a woman? The guards around me also have such skills. They are considered extraordinary people. Who are you?"
"Zhuyun, are you back?"
Yang Hao read several memorials presented by Zhong Fang, listened to his opinions on how to deal with them, and gave him some instructions before Zhong Fang withdrew. Yang Hao immediately went to the side hall with a cheerful face and came to see Zhu who had rushed back from Ganzhou.
rhyme.
Zhuyun was nervously thinking about what to say and how to act when she met Yang Hao. When Yang Hao spoke, she was startled and forgot everything she had thought about. When she saw Yang Hao smiling, she immediately blushed.
He was at a loss and said in a squeaky voice: "Ah..., yes! Governor Zhang has taken charge of Ganzhou. Aguli abdicated and re-accepted the position of commander bestowed by the imperial court. I... my fake special agent will naturally... naturally...
His merits have been fulfilled and he has successfully stepped down."
Yang Hao laughed loudly: "Okay, this sentence of merit is perfect. You have done another service for me by killing Suman this time. You want to drink. How about we have a banquet and I will help you wash away the dust."
.”
Yang Hao was very happy, not only because Zhu Yun had returned, but also because the integration in Xingzhou was going smoothly. His original worries were a little too much. Due to the strictness of the army, the death of the leader, and the coming of severe winter, food supplies were scarce.
The source was in the hands of the imperial court, and the remaining dignitaries of each tribe were completely unable to compete with Yang Hao. However, the interests of ordinary people were not affected at all, and there was no resistance. Therefore, Yang Hao reformed the tribes according to his long-planned new political basis.
With the results achieved, Xingzhou was like a phoenix reborn from nirvana in the bath of blood and fire, showing a new atmosphere. Isn't such a happy event worth making a fuss over?
However, Ding Chengzong, Zhong Fang, and Yang Jiye are not good drinking buddies. These three people drink occasionally, just for socializing. Once they chat, they only talk about national affairs, which is a bit boring. Bamboo rhyme is not only beautiful and delicious,
She is even more naive when she is drunk. Drinking with her makes her really happy.
When Zhu Yun heard this, her pretty face that was already red suddenly turned redder. She thought Yang Hao was deliberately teasing her for being drunk twice. She felt shy for a moment and said in an authentic tone: "Although Zhu Yun is a member of the imperial court,
, but she is a woman after all, if...if she is given a banquet by the king and drinks wine in the palace, if word spreads...it will inevitably damage the reputation of the king."
Yang Hao smiled and said: "What reputation do I have? Some people over there in Ganzhou said that Aguli was an accomplice of Sullman. It was me who coveted her beauty, so I exonerated her. It can be said that her beauty makes her stupid. It is comparable to
King You of Zhou, who enjoyed beauties and beauties, loved beauties but not the country. Some people in Xingzhou said that I planned to trap and kill the leaders of hundreds of Tuoba tribes.
He said, "I annexed the Zhe family's army, squeezed out the Zhe Yuxun, repaid kindness with enmity, and was ruthless and unjust. Haha, if all the slanders in the world are gathered into one body, what reputation can I have?"
Zhuyun relaxed, pursed her lips and smiled and said: "It turns out that the king knows it. Why don't you blame others? The king did not ask for this crime."
With that charming and playful look in her eyes, her femininity is really becoming more and more abundant.
Yang Hao waved his hand and said with a smile: "Haha, they have no ability to rebel against me, so they have to say some unpleasant things to cheer themselves up. I have taken advantage of it, so I have to let people talk happily. Don't mention this, don't mention this, let's find someone
A place to go for a drink, I know a good place that you will definitely like."
Zhu Yun asked curiously: "Where?"
Yang Hao chuckled and said, "I found a place by accident. Please wait for me for a while." After Yang Hao finished speaking, he walked away in a hurry.
Yang Hao is wearing a chinchilla skin fur lapel and a chinchilla skin hat of the same color. He has a graceful demeanor and a jade tree facing the wind. At first glance, he looks like a young master from a wealthy family. Today's Xingzhou is a royal city, and it can be regarded as the foot of the emperor.
, nobles, nobles, officials and gentry can be found everywhere. This kind of dress is not particularly conspicuous, but it does not lose the identity.
Zhu Yun is wearing a ferret fur and a chinchilla cloak. Zhaojun is covering his forehead with a warm jacket. He is wearing deerskin boots. The jade stands in a pavilion. The autumn water is clear. The two of them are half a step apart from each other. They are a couple of gods.
Good, what a beautiful couple.
This is an alley in Xingzhou. Xingzhou has recently undergone major construction projects, and many streets and alleys have been greatly improved. However, the plants, trees, bricks and tiles here look like they are old and have not been touched. This place was originally
A relatively prosperous street in Xingzhou. Yang Hao made Xingzhou the capital. After the re-planning and extensive construction work, the street where this old alley was located suddenly became a relatively deserted and backward place, with fewer pedestrians.
Entering the old alley, there was a shabby wine flag hanging on the fourth house. Yang Hao led the bamboo rhyme to Shiran. This was a restaurant. There was a wooden pillar at the door, with black and white flags tied to it.
There were seven or eight yellow-colored dogs of various colors. When they saw people coming, they roared fiercely and were full of wildness. Even a female killer like Zhu Yun was a little frightened when she heard this, and she subconsciously touched the weapon in her sleeve.
Zhuyun stared at the dogs that were pulling the ropes straight, roaring and jumping, and muttered: "How come this shop owner has so many dogs, and they are all so fierce, do the customers still dare to come?"
Yang Hao smiled and said, "Look at the door and see where this is."
Zhu Yun looked at the door and saw the old gray and black sign: "Dog Slaughter House", and couldn't help but laugh: "It turns out to be a dog meat restaurant..."
Hearing the dog barking, a short, fat, middle-aged man wearing a wrinkled and oil-stained twist apron came out. When he saw Yang Hao, he smiled and said: "Oh, Mr. Yang, you are here to enjoy the glory again today, come on, come on, come on, inside
please."
As soon as the middle-aged man came out, all the dogs tied to the wooden posts and growling fiercely lay on the ground, and there was no sound at all. Zhu Yun glanced at it in surprise, and Yang Hao said: "When I saw it for the first time,
, I was also a little surprised. Later I found out that the shopkeeper Yue had been running a dog meat restaurant all his life. Growing up, he had killed as many as 8,000 dogs, if not 10,000. The more dogs he killed, the more murderous aura he naturally had in his body. Not only
When these dogs smelled his scent, their bones and muscles became weak and they dared not move. Even if some other wild animals saw him, they would immediately run away."
Zhuyun thought to herself that she was a first-class killer. When those dogs saw that she was as fierce as ever, they were afraid of the fat man who opened the shop. Could it be that his murderous intent was worse than mine? Zhuyun looked at this fat man with a fat head and a thick neck.
The master master said unconvinced: "I see that he smiles in a friendly manner, why can't I see that he is so fierce?"
Yang Hao smiled and said: "Animals' sense of smell is a hundred times more sensitive than humans. They can feel some sounds and smells that we can't hear. The name of this shopkeeper is Yue Jinhua. He only opens the shop at three o'clock every day, and the sun is still there.
It closes when the sun sets, and only kills three dogs a day, and there are never any left. Such skills... People often say that dog meat rolls three times, and the gods cannot stand after smelling it. You are about to eat the dog meat cooked by Shopkeeper Yue.
, only then did you know what fragrant meat is.”
After hearing this, Shopkeeper Yue puffed up his chest and belly, feeling proud.
Yang Hao went to the city incognito and accidentally discovered this place. From then on, he often came here to feast in casual clothes to satisfy his appetite. The five-bedroom wife in the family was either a lady or came from a noble family. Dog meat was not allowed to be eaten. This was the first time that he brought his female relatives here.
After being praised by Yang Hao, Shopkeeper Yue said with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Yang. The craftsmanship passed down from our ancestors is only so much that I can't use. Is this lady a distinguished lady? Ouch, she looks really handsome. The painting is beautiful."
Only ordinary people, including you, the young master, are worthy of such a beautiful lady."
Zhuyun was embarrassed and happy after hearing this. She glanced at Yang Hao quickly, saying that she didn't hear anything but didn't argue. Yang Hao handed a bunch of money to Shopkeeper Yue and said with a smile: "Stop flattering me, it's still the same room."
, will you stay with me?"
Yang Hao was generous and rented a small room for himself. There were too many people to sit in. Shopkeeper Yue showed his generosity and made the small room a private room for Yang Hao. He took the money and shopkeeper Yue smiled.
He rolled his eyes and said repeatedly: "Of course, of course, if there is no room to sit in the room, we can set up a table in the courtyard and let the guests come out to eat. It is a private room exclusively for the young master. No one else is allowed in for the younger ones. Please, please..."
As soon as they entered the house, it was really packed with people, people were playing guessing games, and everyone was drunk. Yang Hao's wives were really not used to such a market atmosphere, but Zhu Yun was not used to such an environment.
It's a given. The higher Yang Hao's status, the less freedom he has. Occasionally sneaking here to relax is not only to relive the ordinary days in the past, but also to relax physically and mentally, not to mention there are delicious food to enjoy.
After entering the small private room, the curtain was lowered, and the noise next door became lighter. The two of them took off their boots and got on the kang, sitting cross-legged. A few light side dishes were arranged at a few corners, and then the dishes, dishes, and utensils of all sizes were brought out.
When it comes, there are cold ones, hot ones, steamed ones and boiled ones, but the main ingredient is dog meat. In the middle is a charcoal hot pot, steaming hot, boiling water rolling, take a bite of dog meat, dip it in the sauce and put it in your mouth.
Zhuyun's eyes couldn't help but stare: "It's really... really delicious, so delicious, it seems... like your tongue has melted!"
Yang Hao picked up the tin wine pot from the hot water bowl, poured wine for her with a smile and said: "If you add a sip of hot old wine, you will be as happy as a god."
"This is a rare good opportunity. There is no one else here. I... must not drink today. I have to stay absolutely sober and confess my feelings to him... soberly. I... I will just drink a few sips less, Zhuang
Take courage..."
Zhu Yun picked up the bowl, took a sip of wine, and her eyes suddenly lit up: "Good wine!"
A bowl of old wine brewed by the Yue family, and I immediately drank it without leaving any trace...
"I want to see your Majesty, there are urgent matters!"
Outside the palace, Princess Yongqing and a few Jurchen warriors explained anxiously, but the palace guard guarding the door didn't listen at all: "What a joke, just a cat or a dog comes and says that he has urgent matters, and the king has to meet him? Go, go, go,
If you make noise again, I will charge you with disturbing the palace gate and put you in jail!"
"I really have something important!" Princess Yongqing was so anxious that she almost cried. At this time, a light car slowly came from the imperial road towards the palace gate. Immediately, the palace gate opened wide, and the guards stood in order and were talking to each other.
The guard who spoke to Yongqing became anxious and hurriedly drove her away: "Hurry up, the empress has returned to the palace. If you startle Feng Jia, it is a crime of beheading."
"Empress?" Princess Yongqing was pushed away. She stood on tiptoes and looked towards the palace gate. She saw a car driving to the palace gate. The curtains of the car were rolled up. There was a beauty sitting in the car, and there were two pink makeup girls on the left and right.
Yuzhuo's little baby is still playing and playing.
As soon as Princess Yongqing saw the appearance of the stunning beauty, she couldn't help but be shocked: "Why is it her? How can she be the Princess of Xixia!"
