Chapter 520 Big Brother and Second Brother Come to Meet
Suddenly half a month passed, and Li Jiang, dressed as a Taoist priest, entered Nanjing of the Liao Kingdom from the Xianxi Gate.
The Nanjing of the Liao Kingdom was either Jinling or Beijing in later generations. After the Khitan took over the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, it changed the name of the country to Liao, and the capital was located at the former site of Youzhou City in the Tang Dynasty. Because it was the capital, it was called Yanjing, or Youzhou.
All.
This is the place where the pain of the two Song Dynasties is forever, a place that comes and goes again and again but cannot be desired.
The Liao Kingdom conquered Yanyun, and a large number of local Han people integrated into it, and were called Northern Han people. Moreover, after the Liao Kingdom's political power was stabilized, they had to think about money and pursue spiritual satisfaction when they were full and warm, so the middle and upper classes of the Liao Kingdom were very respectful.
It is common to admire the culture of the Central Plains, recite poems and write poems, and talk about Confucianism and metaphysics.
Li Jiang, a fake Taoist priest, benefited from this and easily passed through the guards and sneaked into Yanjing.
When he entered the city, he saw that the streets of Yanjing were wide and clean, and the streets were bustling with people. Most of the buildings were of the Central Plains style. Most of the people coming and going were Han Chinese, and most of the people he heard spoke Chinese.
Suddenly, Li Jiang seemed to feel that he was in the Ming Dynasty's Beijing city again.
The Liao Kingdom did not change much in Yanjing, and there are still the Tang Dynasty markets here. However, the curfew imposed by the Liao Dynasty and the Song Dynasty was abolished, so most of the walls of the workshops were smashed, and many doorways were opened for people to enter and exit.
From a distance, it looks like an old man with missing front teeth.
Li Jiang spent most of the day sightseeing, and his footprints were all over the city, houses, and temples.
When night fell, he happened to walk to the Grand Prince's Mansion in the South Campus in the southwest of Yanjing.
When the Emperor of Liao was not in the Imperial Palace of Yanjing, this was the highest military official institution in the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun, Datong Prefecture on the Xijing Road, and Dading Prefecture on the Zhongjing Road. In fact, the emperors of the Liao Kingdom rarely came here because they all preferred to
Hunting, longing for green grassland, more often when living in Beijing.
Li Jiang pretended to be a tourist and walked around the Grand Prince's Mansion in the South Campus from a distance, and he immediately had a plan in mind to go in.
I don't know if the guards in the south courtyard all know that their king has great martial arts skills, so they are lax and careless. The soldiers patrolling back and forth are talking and laughing, but the guards at the main entrance are a little taller and more dignified.
This kind of guarding situation is useless not only for Li Jiang, but also for ordinary warriors with good Qinggong.
The sound of "bang bang" the second watch was heard one after another in the city. Li Jiang found a deserted place and easily jumped into the Grand Prince's Mansion in the South Campus.
The front yard of the Grand Prince's Mansion in the south courtyard is the official office and part of the living area.
Needless to say, the government office is for office work, and the living area is occupied by the second most important figure in the south of Liao Kingdom, the Privy Councilor of the South Courtyard.
The Privy Envoy of Nanyuan was the product of the Liao Kingdom learning from the experience of the Song Dynasty, implementing the system of large and small ministers, and interfering with different opinions.
Li Jiang was not here for assassination today, so he skipped him and sneaked directly into the backyard.
The shape of the backyard is much more advanced, after all, it is a prince second only to the emperor.
The palace complex inside is splendid with golden walls, and the pavilions and pavilions are perfect.
Li Jiang jumped up to a rockery and overlooked it.
After looking around the various palaces, he locked his eyes on a brightly lit place, then gathered his breath and flew away.
After arriving at the target location, he fell to the ground like a leaf gently without making a sound.
There were obviously more guards here than outside. Li Jiang did not enter rashly, but the cat listened attentively under the steps.
Ignoring the dozens of people standing guard and patrolling outside, he heard a special breathing sound coming from inside the hall.
This breathing sound was steady and long, with the same rhythm. He was obviously a person with superb internal skills. Judging from the situation here, he must be Xiao Feng.
Now that he had found the right person, Li Jiang took action.
He wasn't prepared to push through.
Li Jiang no longer despises the low-level pretentiousness method of showing off one's power first and leaving a deep impression before recognizing someone. What he cares about now is to achieve his goal with the minimum loss.
Avoiding the guards, he slipped out of the window closest to the person and tapped the pane with his fingers, making several "puff" sounds.
The breath of the people in the hall suddenly suffocated, and then became a little short, and then footsteps sounded, walking to the window.
"Which hero came to visit Xiao at night?" came a deep voice.
Li Jiang also replied in a low voice: "Master Qiao Feng?"
"Qiao Feng?" the person in the room murmured again. After a short moment of silence, he whispered again: "There is no Qiao Feng, only Xiao Feng. Please come back, my friend!"
After Xiao Feng finished speaking, he did not turn around. He still stood by the window, thinking that he was still very concerned about the original news.
Li Jiang grinned silently and said: "Xiao Feng is fine too, it seems you have found the right person. Brother, I am being polite!"
There was silence again, but this time it was very short, about three seconds. The window opened with a creak, revealing a tall figure.
The light suddenly shot out, causing Li Jiang's pupils to shrink slightly.
Xiao Feng said: "My friend calls me big brother?"
Li Jiang bowed deeply and replied: "I was entrusted by my fourth brother Duan Yu to find my eldest brother."
Hearing the visitor talking about Duan Yu, Xiao Feng quickly remembered who it was. He met a handsome young man while drinking at Songhe Tower outside Wuxi City that day. Later, because of his drinking capacity and similar temperament, he married Jinlan.
But why did the second brother become the fourth brother, and this guy called me eldest brother again?
Xiao Feng Zhang Er Jingang was confused, so he took a step sideways to open the window and said: "Second brother's friends are Xiao's friends. Please come in and talk."
Li Jiang clasped his fists, tapped his feet lightly, and floated in.
His unrestrained posture is actually very dangerous, because Xiao Feng is standing by the window. If Xiao Feng has malicious intentions and hits him when he passes by, he will really be in a hurry.
But Li Jiang believed in Xiao Feng. He was a kind, righteous, and aboveboard man! He would not take advantage of others' danger, and would also give others a chance to speak.
For this reason, Li Jiang also showed his sincerity by not jumping very far away from Xiao Feng. Instead, he dropped down after passing the window and turned his back one meter to admire the furnishings in the palace.
The brightest light is a large case facing south, with many books and scrolls piled on it. Behind the case is a large chair that can accommodate three people, with a white tiger skin covering the middle.
At this time, there was another "squeaking" sound behind Li Jiang, and then footsteps came, and Xiao Feng moved to the back of the big case.
Before he spoke, Li Jiang looked at him carefully.
Xiao Feng should be in his thirties now, but he has grown a beard and has white spots on his temples, making him look much older. He has a high hairline, a broad forehead, and thick eyebrows and big eyes.
High nose and wide mouth.
His face shape is a typical official face of this era, a square face with Chinese characters.
On the whole, he looks quite weathered, but he has a very good temperament. He stands there in the mountains, looking at him with a clear demeanor.
Xiao Feng accepted Li Jiang's gaze calmly, and at the same time he was also sizing up this Taoist who was about the same height as himself.
With a handsome face, jet-black hair, sharp eyes, a straight nose, and a long beard under his chin, one cannot tell how old he is.
His breathing is long and short, his temples are smooth and clean, and his body is slender with no muscle knots.
If he saw him outside the palace, Xiao Feng would definitely think that he was just an ordinary Taoist. However, Xiao Feng was now very sure that this Taoist's martial arts were so unfathomable that he even touched the window of the palace without being able to detect any clues.
After the two of them looked at each other, they looked at each other and smiled. Xiao Feng extended his hand to the chair next to the case and said, "Please sit down!"
