Xiang Minzhong and Wang Zeng were doubtful about Kou Ji's words.
The two of them have already made a decision. Regardless of whether Kou Ji's plan succeeds or not, they will find a way to cancel the marriage between the two countries to protect Kou Ji's life.
Although the two are not blood relatives of Kou Ji, they have long regarded Kou Ji as a close junior. When Kou Ji is in danger, the two of them must protect him.
The three of them stayed in Xiang Minzhong's tent until midnight.
It was so quiet in the camp that you could hear a pin drop.
Compared with the roar of machinery in later generations, which is heard day and night, the nights in ancient times were surprisingly quiet.
It was as if the sounds between heaven and earth disappeared in an instant.
That kind of quiet night without any sound makes people's thoughts calm down, and then they are immersed in sweet sleep.
Gradually...
The chirping of birds, the roar of wild beasts, the sound of the wind blowing the leaves...
They broke the silent night, but added a different color to the silent night.
Kou Ji likes this kind of night very much, so does Xiang Minzhong, and so does Wang Zeng.
Wang once wanted to compose an impromptu poem, but when he saw Kou Ji, Xiang Minzhong was closing his eyes and listening to the cries of birds and animals, and the soft sound of the wind blowing leaves. He decisively closed his mouth and accompanied the two of them.
Listen to the sounds of everything.
"Boom~"
A muffled sound like an explosion broke the tranquility of the night.
Kou Ji suddenly opened his eyes, and faced Xiang Minzhong and Wang Zeng who also opened their eyes: "Let's go..."
Xiang Minzhong and Wang Zeng looked at each other at the same time, stared at Kou Ji, and slowly shook their heads.
Wang Zeng said: "The Liao Emperor has not dispatched yet, so it is not appropriate for us to dispatch."
Xiang Minzhong took the opportunity to remind: "No matter what big thing you do, you can't panic or be anxious. The more you panic and the more anxious you are, the more likely you are to make mistakes."
Hearing this, Kou Ji thought about it and felt that what Xiang Minzhong and Wang Zeng said was reasonable, so he nodded slowly.
They were just foreign envoys, not Liao ministers. They rushed to the scene of the incident before Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu took action, and it was easy for Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu to spot the flaw.
The three of them had not been in the camp for long when they heard a report from the guards, saying that Emperor Yelu Longxu of the Liao Dynasty was leading a group of Pishi troops after leaving the inner camp.
The three of them left the camp together.
The guards waiting at the entrance of the camp quickly appeared in front of the three people and protected them around them.
The swords and guns in their hands have been unsheathed, and they are staring at the surroundings warily.
Xiang Minzhong raised his hand, glanced at the place where the sound came from, and told the guards: "Don't panic, come with us and take a look."
Xiang Minzhong, Kou Ji, and Wang Zeng, supported by the guards, walked towards the place where the sound came from.
The Liao people in the camp and the leaders of the small tribes had been awakened. They all appeared outside the camp carrying torches.
Seeing Xiang Minzhong and Kou Ji walking towards the outer camp, they thought about it, got dressed and ran out of the camp.
After Xiang Minzhong and the other three arrived at the outer camp, they met the soldiers of the Pishi Army. They mobilized collectively and drove the warriors and girls from the various tribes living in the outer camp to one place.
The warriors of various small tribes were full of resentment against the Liao Kingdom's unreasonable practices.
But facing the huge number of Pishi Army soldiers, they dared not speak out in anger.
The officers and soldiers of the Pishi Army drove the warriors from each tribe to a small forest outside the camp, and then slowly stopped.
In front of the grove, there are many large tree roots piled up.
These big tree roots were left behind by warriors from various small tribes when they helped the Liao Emperor, Liao nobles, and Liao troops build camps.
When they cut down trees, they cut down the trees and dug out the roots to prevent the tree stumps from remaining on the ground and becoming an obstacle for the cavalry.
Under one of the piles of big tree roots, two figures were lying.
Around them, some gold and silver items were scattered randomly.
One of the figures was Yelu Angkor, who was fighting to the death with Kou Jiyue outside the grove.
The other figure was Yelu Shiwu who got into Koji's tent in the middle of the night.
Their clothes were a little scattered.
Yelu Angkor's wrapping cloth was stretched out by a full foot and was thrown to the ground casually.
The clothes on the lower body of Yelu Fifteen were missing.
After careful observation, you can see that her clothes were pressed under a large tree root.
"The situation is not good..."
After Xiang Minzhong witnessed the situation of Yelu Angkor and Yelu Fifteen, he whispered.
The situation he said was not good, and he was not referring to the two men's ragged clothes.
It is the tragic situation of Yelu Angkor.
Not only did Yelv Angkor lose his protective covering, he also had a huge tree root pressed down on him.
The roots of the tree pierced his chest and belly, and penetrated deeply into his flesh.
Blood flowed from the wounds on his chest and belly, soaking the grass beneath him.
There is no need to investigate to conclude that Yelu Angkor is completely dead.
If he can still survive under such circumstances, it is not a miracle, but a miracle.
There were not many fatal injuries on Yelv Shifif's body, but there was a bloody mark on his forehead from a tree root.
She was probably not dead, but fell into a coma.
Emperor Yelu Longxu of the Liao Dynasty sat astride his horse and stared at the scene in front of him, his face so gloomy that he could bleed.
"Pa~"
Emperor Yelu Longxu of the Liao Dynasty flicked his riding whip, and the horse began to move slowly.
Emperor Yelu Longxu of the Liao Dynasty pulled the horse's reins and let the horse step slowly past the warriors of the besieged tribes.
He stared at the warriors of each small tribe and asked coldly, "Who did it?"
Among the warriors from various tribes, some kept shrinking back under the questioning of Emperor Yelu Longxu of Liao, while others stared at Emperor Yelu Longxu of Liao with indignation.
"Hand over the murderer and I will keep you alive!"
The Jurchen tribe stared at Emperor Yelu Longxu of the Liao Dynasty, gritted his teeth and said: "Kill your Majesty if you want. Why use such methods of frame-up and frame-up?"
"shut up!"
When the leader of the Jurchen tribe saw his son provoking the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu, he quickly scolded him, and then knelt down humbly in front of the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu to apologize, "Your Majesty, I don't know the etiquette and I have offended you. Please forgive me.
crime."
The leader of the Jurchen tribe turned around and glanced at Yelu Angkor, Yelu Fifteen, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, please be careful. I am afraid that the prince and princess will become like this. I am afraid it has nothing to do with my Jurchen tribe."
"It was obvious that the two of them were enjoying themselves together and were planning to take the opportunity to elope, but they accidentally knocked down a tree stump and ended up like this. Why does Emperor Liao blame us?"
A warrior from a small tribe with a straight temper shouted these words loudly.
For a moment, Emperor Yelu Longxu's face turned gloomy. He stared at the warrior of the small tribe and asked, "Who are you?"
"Boerbu Boyanji..."
The warriors of the small tribe reported themselves to their families in a stiff manner.
However, before he finished speaking, Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu said coldly: "Behead!"
Immediately, soldiers from the Pishi Army came out and chopped off the heads of the warriors from the small tribe with one knife.
The warriors of various small tribes stared at Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu and almost bit their silver teeth into pieces.
But faced with the strong suppression of Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu, they could only keep silent.
"The Liao Emperor is really so majestic!"
Under the strong suppression of Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu, the only people who dared to touch the brow of Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu were the envoys of the Song Dynasty.
Wang Zeng appeared in front of everyone under the spotlight and said with a cold smile: "Brother and sister are incompatible with each other, which is unacceptable in nature. It is entirely their own fault that the two of them ended up where they are today."
For such a shameless woman, the Emperor of Liao actually wanted to marry her into an official family of the Song Dynasty.
By doing this, the Emperor of Liao was bullying the officials of the Song Dynasty and the tens of millions of subjects of the Song Dynasty."
After Wang Zeng finished speaking, Xiang Minzhong slowly stepped out of the queue and said coldly: "Emperor Liao, we need an explanation. I, the Song Dynasty, need an explanation."
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu gritted his teeth and said: "This matter has not yet been clarified, so it may not be the fault of you Song people."
Wang Zeng said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone: "The pure will be pure by themselves, and the turbid will be turbid by themselves. The Emperor of Liao can just check it. But you need to give me the explanation of the Song Dynasty."
Xiang Minzhong looked at Yelu Angkor and Yelu Fifteen, shook his head and said: "The prince and princess of your country are actually like this. According to my wishes, the marriage between the two countries is over.
Our Great Song Dynasty Palace is a clean place, and we cannot tolerate people who are having sex with brothers and sisters."
Emperor Yelu Longxu of the Liao Dynasty was assassinated by Xiang Min, and Wang Zeng was so angry that he said angrily: "If I find out that this matter was caused by you Song people, I will definitely take your heads."
Wang Zeng glanced at the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu and sneered: "If the Liao Emperor doesn't give me an explanation for the Song Dynasty, then we will fight each other."
After leaving these words, Wang Zeng shook off his sleeves, turned around and saw Kou Ji still stunned, and shouted loudly: "What are you looking at? What's the point of brother and sister having sex?
I was sleeping well, but I was woken up for no reason and saw such a disgusting thing.
Dirty eyes.
Help me go back and wash my eyes."
Emperor Yelu Longxu of the Liao Dynasty was so angry that he was shaking with anger at the words of Wang Zeng and Xiang Minzhong, but he could not order the killing of these two old men. He could only reprimand the people around him: "Check for me! Check for me.
It’s crystal clear! If I want to know who is behind this, I will peel off his skin and cramp him!”
Xiang Minzhong and the other three did not pay attention to the anger of Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu.
The three of them shook their sleeves and left the place together.
While on the road.
Kou Ji praised Wang Zeng: "I didn't expect you to be so mean when you curse."
Wang Zeng glared at Kou Ji and said nothing.
After returning to Xiang Minzhong's tent.
Wang Zengcai said: "You didn't leave any beginning or end, right?"
His face didn't look as cold as before, but only looked anxious.
Kou Ji whispered: "There was originally some trouble, and I also thought of a countermeasure to deal with it, but I didn't expect that Yelu Angkor was already dead. After he died, I lost everything."
When Wang Zeng heard this, his expression on his face did not ease much. He stared at Kou Ji and said seriously: "How did you bring Yelu Angkor and Yelu Fifteen together?"
Xiang Minzhong said in a deep voice: "I just made an observation and found that Yelu Angkor is dead, but there is breath on Yelu Fifteen."
Xiang Minzhong stared at Kou Jida and said: "If Yelv Angkor had not died, even if the Liao Emperor wanted to investigate the matter, he would not get to the bottom of it. But once Yelv Angkor died, the Liao Emperor would definitely investigate the matter to the end.
Any clues will most likely be caught by Emperor Liao, so you have to think carefully whether there are any clues left behind, and don’t let Emperor Liao dig them up on your head."
Kou Ji carefully recalled his plan and said: "Don't worry, everyone, except for the traces of my appointment with Yelu Angkor, there are no other tricks left.
Now that Yelu Angkor is dead, no one knows that I made an appointment with him to go to the outer camp."
Xiang Minzhong and Wang Zeng looked at each other and nodded slowly.
Xiang Minzhong asked doubtfully: "Didn't you make the date on Yelu fifteen?"
Kou Ji grinned and shook his head.
Yelu Fifteen, he really wasn’t the one who made the appointment.
He just secretly asked Zhang Yuan to keep an eye on Yelu Shishi, and found out that every three days, Yelu Shishi would go to the grove in the outer camp to meet his biological parents, and he set up a trap according to this time.
.
Yelu Fifteen will soon marry away to the Song Dynasty, and may never be able to see his biological parents again for the rest of his life.
So it is reasonable for her to secretly meet her biological parents while she can still see them.
But she didn't expect that her visit to relatives would be discovered by Kou Ji, and instead he used this to plot against her.
This is also the reason why when he asked Yelu Angkor to go to the outer camp to fight for life and death, he did not mention today or tomorrow, but made sure to make the appointment until the day after tomorrow.
Wang Zeng thought for a moment and asked, "Then how did you put the two of them together?"
Kou Ji laughed in a low voice and said: "Every three days, Yelu Shishi will send away the people around him, secretly leave the inner camp in the evening, and then quietly return to the camp after nightfall.
I just had people attack her on her way back.
Then he dragged her to the woods during the second watch and tore up her clothes.
After the third watch of Yelu Angkor arrived, I saw Yelu Fifteen with messy clothes, so I must have gone up to watch nervously.
When his heart is set on Yelu Shiwu, he will find someone to attack him from the side.
Then put the two of them together."
Xiang Minzhong frowned and said: "Even so, there are still flaws. How can you guarantee that your people will leave before Emperor Liao arrives?"
Kou Ji smiled softly and took out a gourd from his pocket. The mouth of the gourd was sealed with half a fuse on it. The fuse was wrapped around a piece of incense stick.
"Just because of that..."
Kou Ji held the gourd in his hand and laughed in a low voice: "This thing is not very powerful, but it can just help my people escape. After it is lit, it will explode after a quarter of an hour. In this moment, my people can escape."
time."
Wang Zeng was slightly startled and said hesitantly: "Gunpowder?"
Kou Ji nodded and said: "Not too much gunpowder, mixed with some other things. After it explodes, the smell will not be too great, and the gourd will be burned to ashes. When the wind blows, it will leave almost no trace."
Xiang Minzhong shook his head and said solemnly: "It will still leave traces."
Kou Ji smiled and said: "There are no traces... because my man was smart enough. He chose the place where the big tree roots were piled to light this thing. When the big tree roots were shaken and rolled down, all traces were basically covered up.
Others would just think it was caused by the big tree roots not being piled firmly enough and slipping, and there would never be any trace of man-made damage."
