Chapter 20 Chapter Twenty
Yang Hao received the invitation, and came to Luo Kedi's mansion full of disappointment. Luo Kedi greeted him outside the door, and when he saw him, he smiled and bowed and said: "Envoy Yang, I took the liberty to invite you today. Thank you for your honor. Luo Mou is very grateful." , come, come, sir, please."
Yang Hao saw a few Khitan slaves with bare heads and braids standing beside him, so he could only pretend to meet him for the first time, smiled and said: "General Luo, you are welcome, I wonder why the general invited me today? "
Luo Kedi said: "Luo is originally from the Central Plains, and he has been away from his hometown for a long time. Now Mr. Yang came from his hometown. Luo misses his hometown and old people. He bought a special wine to have a banquet with him. He asked about the scenery of his hometown. He has no other plans. Hehe, Just don't worry, my lord."
The two entered the hall side by side and sat down, and sent the slaves out, Yang Hao frowned slightly, and said in a low voice: "Aren't you afraid of being criticized when you and I meet so grandly?"
Luo Kedi glanced at the house slave standing by the door, and said in a low voice: "Anyway, we are leaving in these two days, so we are afraid of criticism. Besides, I am from the Central Plains, so it is reasonable to invite people from my hometown to meet and drink. I'm afraid it will arouse people's suspicion instead."
Yang Hao shook his head and smiled wryly: "You have your reasons, so what's the matter with you looking for me?"
Luo Kedi said: "Dong'er has news from the palace that Empress Xiao will not go to her place tonight."
Yang Hao blushed, coughed and said: "Just for this matter, why don't you invite me to talk about it? Besides...this..., in the current situation, I'd better be more careful, so as not to miss it accidentally. It's a horse's foot. In the future, we will stay together forever, and it's not too late at this moment..."
Yang Hao's words were high-sounding, and Luo Kedi rolled his eyes when he heard it: "That's right, don't tell me about the messy things about you two. I invited you here. I really want to ask you for some private matters..."
As soon as he said this, the head manager, Niu Luke, walked in and saluted respectfully: "My lord, the banquet is ready."
Luo Kedi stood up, smiled freely and said, "Master Yang, please..."
At the banquet, Luo Kedi hesitated for a while before saying: "This...Brother Yang, you and I are friends of life and death, there is nothing we can't say to each other, I'll get straight to the point..."
Yang Hao had already guessed some points in his heart, but he pretended not to know and smiled and said: "You have opened this door for a long time, but Shan Ke hasn't seen it all the time, what's the matter?"
Luo Kedi's face was slightly embarrassed, and he said coyly: "Brother Yang, to tell you the truth, Luo has never been in love with a woman since he was so old, but now... now he really likes Lingmei..."
Yang Hao was silent. Seeing his expression, Luo Kedi hurriedly said: "Luo and Lingmei...it was indeed love at first sight. Luo hasn't married a wife so far. In terms of family background and status, I think that Lingmei and Lingmei are a good match. Originally, I I want to win Lingmei's favor, and I want Brother Yang to propose marriage in person, but it is strange to say that Lingmei still talked and laughed with me a few days ago, but these two days are full of worries, and she treats me as if she is away. Knowing what disrespectful things she did, what inappropriate words she said annoyed her, Brother Yang is her elder brother, I think she might tell you if she has something on her mind, if Brother Yang knows, I hope you will tell me..."
After saying this, Luo Kedi's face was red and his face was sweating from embarrassment.
Yang Hao smashed the mud seal of the wine jar noncommittally, poured a bowl of wine for him, and said haha: "Women's heart, sea needle, even though I am her brother, I don't necessarily understand her mind, come on, come on." , let's drink, drink first..."
Luo Kedi was impatient, picked up the bowl and drank it dry in one gulp, wiped his mouth, but couldn't taste what was poured in, so he begged: "Brother Yang, Master Yang, brother treats you well, can you not drink it?" If you don't help me at this time, brother will die. I just wonder why Lingmei suddenly treats me like a different person. This knot is in my heart, and I feel restless Nah."
Yang Hao also poured himself a bowl of wine, and saw that the color of the wine in the bowl was like amber, with a strong aroma, his eyes lit up, and he praised: "Ah, wine? Since it's here...well, I've never drank it before. What about the wine?"
He picked up the bowl, took a sip, and commented: "It is fragrant in the mouth and has an endless aftertaste. It really is a good wine. Brother Luo, you... Brother Luo, have you finished it?"
Luo Kedi said angrily, "Brother Yang, I'm talking about serious business."
Yang Hao took another sip of wine, and put down the wine bowl with a sad face.If it wasn't for his special status that hindered their relationship, Yang Hao would be very happy to have a good match like Luo Kedi for his younger sister, who has been struggling in love so far.But it is not possible now, political marriage is the most sensitive, if they get married, I am afraid it is not a good thing, but it will lead to tragedy.
Will the court of the Song Dynasty sit back and watch the high officials of the court marry a feudal clan in the northwest?Will Luo Gongming ruin his Luo family's future because of a daughter-in-law?As the saying goes, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. In this case, it is better to end it early.But he couldn't speak out to Luo Kedi because of his internal difficulties.He was also uncertain, even if Luo Kedi regarded him as a life-and-death friend, if he learned the truth and knew that he wanted to establish himself in the northwest, would he kill his relatives righteously and kill him on the horse as soon as he arrived in the Song Dynasty?
Seeing his hesitant expression, Luo Kedi knew that there must be a reason, so his mouth was dry with anxiety, and he didn't need Yang Hao to persuade him. He lifted the wine jar and poured a bowl for himself, then drank it all in one gulp, using it as cold water to moisten his throat , waiting anxiously for Yang Hao to explain.
Yang Hao hesitated again and again, Fang Shenyin said: "There is indeed a reason for this..."
Luo Kedi asked anxiously, "What's the reason?"
Yang Hao smiled wryly and said, "The problem is...you can't say..."
Luo Kedi's eyes widened, and Yang Hao said sincerely: "Brother Luo, with such a hero, Yang is very happy to be able to look after his younger sister. From Yang's point of view, if you can get married, it is The blessing of sister She. As for sister She, she has always been aloof, and there are only a handful of men who can make her look good, and Brother Luo is one of them. If you get along well, I think sister She will really like it you."
Luo Kedi scratched his head anxiously: "Brother Yang, why..."
"I've said it before, don't say it. It's because Brother Luo and I are life-and-death friends, and I can't bear to hide it from you, that's why I told you not to say it, otherwise I can't prevaricate you with any excuse."
Yang Hao took a sip of his wine and said again: "However, I won't hide it from you for too long. When we return to the Central Plains safely, I will tell you the truth. It will not exceed three months at most, okay? Within three months , I will definitely tell you the reason, if you have a way to solve this problem, have the courage to face this problem, and are still willing to pursue my sister, I will never stop you as a brother..."
His last sentence had already leaked the secret, saying that he was the culprit who caused Ding Yuluo's sudden indifference to Luo Kedi, but Luo Kedi, who was upset, couldn't taste it, he thought to himself: "Three Months? Calculating with my fingers, three months is just the time when I fled all the way back to the Central Plains, returned to Bianjing, and dealt with the court and the family. You can wait, can't you wait for three months?"
So, he nodded heavily, held the bowl with a smile and said, "So, brother Luo, can you let go of your worries now and drink to your heart's content?"
Luo Kedi glared at him angrily, lifted the wine jar, put it down again, and complained: "This wine is sweet and soft, how can it have any taste? New Luke, bring me a jar of strong wine."
Standing outside the threshold, Niu Luke saw the two drinking heavily at the table, two bowls of wine had entered General Luo's mouth in a short while, he couldn't help feeling secretly happy, he hurriedly called a confidant domestic slave, and whispered something to him, The man obeyed and went.
Looking at the man's back, Niulu cut his eyebrows and smiled: "This time, Her Royal Highness's reward is about to come."
He suddenly heard Luo Kedi's order from the room, and hurriedly agreed, and ran to the wine cellar in a hurry.
The yurt was spacious and bright, with huge red candles as thick as arms burning at the four corners. Empress Xiao sat in the middle, Shi Fang and Guo Xi sat on the left and right, and two teams of court dancers were dancing between them.Khitan's court dances are not as gorgeous as the dances of the Central Plains, but full of grassland customs.Girls from the two teams sang and danced in unison, dancing happily to the rhythm of the Jiegu. Shi Fang and Guo Xi raised their glasses with smiles on their faces, and said to Xiao Chuo: "Your Majesty treats me with generosity and appreciation, and I am deeply grateful for it. Today, I will offer you some good wine from your Majesty, wishing my imperial body a speedy recovery and my Majesty's youth forever. " Xiao Chuo raised his glass and said in a loud voice: "Since the emperor ascended the throne, due to his weak health, all the state affairs have been paid to the palace. The palace is a weak female stream. Since assisting the country, it has depended on two adults to help and wait. With the help of these two lords, I was able to keep our Khitan country stable and the tribes respectful, this glass of wine should be respected by Xiao Chuo, two lords, please." After Xiao Chuo finished speaking, he raised his glass and drank it down, and Dong'er who was standing beside him quickly filled it up for her. Xiao Chuo doesn't drink much, and usually doesn't touch his lips, but tonight, for some reason, he is in high spirits, he dries up the wine and talks and laughs happily.Seeing that the empress drank the wine in the glass, the two veterans naturally did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly drank the wine in the glass in one gulp. Xiao Chuo lowered his posture, intertwined with the two old ministers, and recounted the achievements of the two of them in their lives, without any mistakes or omissions. The two old ministers could not imagine that the young empress knew all the achievements of his own life, and couldn't help but burst into tears. A sense of confidant arises spontaneously. The guests and the host were chatting happily, and a female official quietly walked into the big tent. This female official was named Ta Buyan, and she was Xiao Chuo's personal maid who served Xiao Chuo at Xiao's house when she was not married. The favored female officer is only illiterate, so she has been unable to take on any important positions. Ta Buyan whispered a few words to Xiao Chuo, Xiao Chuo put down his wine glass, waved to Dong'er, summoned her in front of him, and said in a low voice: "They've arrived, what did I ask you to prepare?" Dong'er touched his waist, and said back: "Ma'am, things are always on Dong'er's body." Xiao Chuo nodded and said: "Very good, you and Ta Buyan immediately lead people out of the city, and ambushe them on the road, remember, no one will be left alive." Dong'er was stunned, and lost her voice: "Now?" Xiao Chuo said: "That's right, they came here overnight, and they will arrive in Shangjing in two hours, and they just happened to do it at night, so if there is any omission, it's not easy for them to figure out your identities." Dong'er thought to himself: "Too bad, I invited Brother Hao to come see me, I'm afraid I will have to force Brother Hao to guard the empty bed alone tonight." Seeing her expression, Xiao Chuo thought she was a little nervous, so he smiled and said: "You don't have to worry, just follow the hunting method I taught you and treat them as flying foxes and hares. When we arrived in Beijing, our vigilance was at its lowest, and if we didn't expect them, we would be able to wipe them all out." She pondered for a while, and said: "It's a secret, I don't want too many people in the royal family to know. How about this, let your cousin go with a few confidantes, with his martial arts and battle experience, it can be guaranteed Nothing is lost for you." She turned her head and said to the female official: "Ta Buyan, you pick some loyal and reliable female guards, and then call General Luo, so that no one else can be alarmed." Letting his confidants participate in secrets is a way to make him more loyal than rewards, and Xiao Chuo naturally understands the truth. After hearing this, Ta Buyan agreed, and as soon as she pulled Luo Dong'er, she pulled her out. They went here to ambush the envoys of Nianbage. Nianbage is a tribal alliance regime in the west of the Khitan. During the Han Dynasty, this generation was the nomadic land of the Tiele people. During the Sui Dynasty, it belonged to the Western Turks. During the Tang Dynasty, it belonged to the Beiting Dufu. When Jiedu is unable to control, this place will regain its independence. When Khitan establishes a country and becomes stronger and stronger, they will submit to Khitan as a vassal. Because the Northern Han State relied most on Khitan, the envoys of the Han State were stationed in Shangjing.When the Nianbage envoy came to Beijing last year, he had disputes with the envoys of the Northern Han Dynasty. The rough-natured Nianbage man got drunk and recklessly killed the deputy envoy of the Han Dynasty on the spot. The Northern Han Kingdom is now weak. , no one can afford to offend, under the Khitan and the mud, they have to swallow their anger, but this can be regarded as a bridge between the two sides. Due to the situation, Xiao Chuo had no choice but to surrender to Song temporarily, but she was afraid that this matter would damage the Khitan national prestige, and it would become a reason for the Khitan royals with ulterior motives to attack her, so she wanted to find someone who refused to help the North. Han's grand reason.This reason is to use the old grievances formed between the Northern Han Dynasty and the Nianbage tribe to create an attack and murder accident, so as to find a reason for Khitan to abandon the Northern Han Dynasty. For this reason, she had ordered Dong'er to obtain a token of identity from the Northern Han embassy post stationed in Beijing, which was enough to be embarrassing. When the Nianbage envoy came to Beijing, she would ambush on the road as a Northern Han person, to This is to blame the Northern Han Dynasty.At that time, Khitan will use this incident as a reason to expel the envoys of the Han Dynasty and announce the severance of diplomatic relations between the two countries. Such a severe sanction, on the one hand, can put aside the relationship between Khitan and Han, find a high-sounding reason for them to refuse aid to Han, and also use this to narrow the relationship with the Nianbage tribe.King Qing has now fled to Yinzhou, and establishing a closer relationship with the Nianbage tribe in the west of the northwest will help isolate King Qing. This plan can kill two birds with one stone. Ta Buyan was loyal to Xiao Chuo and followed her orders unswervingly, immediately dragged Dong'er away, Dong'er secretly complained, but she had no choice but could not find a chance to tell her officials.At that moment, he had no choice but to change clothes with Ta Buyan, put on soft armor inside, strong clothes on the outside, and wrapped in a cloak, then secretly called out some confidant female guards, and sneaked out of the palace. Luo Kedi had just sent Yang Hao back to the mansion, and after drinking two cups of a pot of hot tea, Ta Buyan and Dong'er arrived.Luo Kedi greeted him out of the mansion inexplicably, Ta Buyan flicked away the left and right, and announced the secret decree. Luo Kedi had no way to refuse, so he had to dress neatly, and brought a few confidant guards, followed them on horses and galloped out of the city, at the gate of the city. Join those murderous female guards and go west. As soon as Luo Kedi left, Princess Ya arrived. When she heard that Luo Kedi had left with Ta Buyan and Luo Dong'er, Princess Ya couldn't help staring. She wanted to ask more carefully, but Niu Lujiao didn't know anything. Princess Ya is in a hurry. Once Luo Kedi, who drank the medicinal wine, has the effects of the medicine..., it will be fine if the tower is not smoked. Luo Dong'er is his cousin. Once they have something unethical, the evil they have done... The more Princess Ya thought about it, the more flustered she became. She wanted to find Luo Kedi to stop the tragedy, but what Luo Kedi did tonight was too secretive. Nu Luke only saw him flying to the west city, but who knew his exact whereabouts? .Princess Ya wanted to ask the queen, but she asked about their whereabouts for no reason. If the empress asked, how would she explain it?If it was known that she was a majestic princess secretly giving aphrodisiac to a man, even with the rough and unrestrained style of the Khitan people, as a child of the royal family, she would be ashamed to face others from now on. Shocked and frightened, Princess Ya was at war with heaven and man, and wandered outside Luo Kedi's mansion, not knowing what to do. Under the order of Yelu Chukuang, the person who monitored the whereabouts of Princess Ya brought a team of palace guards belonging to Yelu Chukuang to ambush quietly in the dark. Please master come forward to smooth things over and subdue this General Luo, who would have guessed... He also couldn't figure out what this Princess Ya was doing around the porch, he didn't know what to do, and he didn't dare to show his appearance, so he had to lead others patiently, very patiently, in the grass, lurking quietly...
Dong'er has been used to poverty since she was a child, and she doesn't like to be served by others. In addition, she has a quiet temperament, and often stays and rests in the palace, so there is no one in the house, only a very dull old couple who act as the gates and sweep the courtyard. ,Clean the room. Yang Hao came out of Luo Kedi's mansion and passed Dong'er's residence on the way. When he passed by the backyard, he sneaked into Dong'er's house.It was night at this time, and here was the North City. The people living in the imperial city were all dignitaries, nobles, and high-end houses. At night, there were no pedestrians on the street, and no one paid attention to his whereabouts.With his superb skills, he naturally enters the hall and enters the room easily. Yang Hao entered the bedroom, seeing that Dong'er hadn't come back, he didn't dare to light the lamp, so he took off his outer clothes, and lay on her bed in the dark with his daughter's body fragrance in his little clothes, his eyes half closed to nourish his spirit. This wine really has an aphrodisiac effect.Yang Hao felt that his stomach was gradually burning like a fire, so he couldn't help laughing secretly.Originally, wine is the matchmaker of sex, and this red wine has a long stamina, but... it seems that the effect is too obvious. Could it be that the pure green wine of this era is so effective? Yang Hao suddenly realized that his body's reaction seemed a little too strong. It was because of his long-standing body, and he had practiced dual cultivation techniques for too long. Once he was ignited by Dong'er, but he couldn't vent his desire, so the demons in his heart Growing up, so he didn't doubt that he thought, so he sat up cross-legged, and used his will to contend with his demons. Ordinary cultivators pay attention to purifying worldly thoughts, forgetting emotions too much and strengthening the heart of Taoism.However, there is another group of cultivators who find a different way, using the desires of mortals, which would hinder their cultivation, as the stepping stones to enlightenment. With a firm heart, he finally left the world of desire and was born in the world of form. Those who have achieved great success in this kind of practice are called magic masters in Taoism, and high-grade devil kings in Buddhism. The reason for using the word magic is because they admit that they have quite advanced kung fu, but they still have a big flaw. , It can also be described as a cover door.Because although this kind of exercise is easier to cultivate, it is also the master of the Tao and the devil. The stronger the concentration, the more lustful the lust. Femininity. Yang Hao's exercises originally had this kind of side effect, so he didn't make any other doubts at all.His willpower gradually took effect, and his heavy breathing gradually became longer. Yang Hao was satisfied with his control. He crossed his hands on his lower abdomen, breathed out slowly, and practiced vigorously. How did he know that he had taken a high-grade aphrodisiac by mistake today? With his meditation power and proper venting, it was enough to suppress the demons in his heart, but he drank the wine mixed with aphrodisiac, and it was like pouring a fire on the fire. The ladle oil, before the medicinal properties take effect at this moment, it is like a fire that has not been ignited, and the air is cut off by him. If once the will loses, it will suddenly penetrate a wisp of air like a simmering stove, and then it will explode, and the consequences can be imagined But he knew it, but he didn't realize it, and said that his concentration was getting deeper and deeper, and he felt a little complacent in his heart. At this time, Luo Kedi, who was galloping all the way out of the city, was lying in ambush on Haile Ridge, six miles outside Shangjing City, lying among a group of palace female guards, but he couldn't restrain himself, and became distracted. Weeds are overgrown on the ridge, and there are some scattered tree stumps. A small stream bypasses the ridge, and the stream is gurgling.Luo Kedi lay down on the ridge, and gradually felt something strange in his body.He doesn't drink as much wine as Yang Hao, but his meditation power is also not as good as Yang Hao's. Although he is a great general, he is decisive in killing and fighting, and the mountain collapses in front of him without changing his color, but that is on the battlefield.On the battlefield of lust, he is nothing more than a young boy with a strong blood.Especially during the galloping all the way, the blood scattered all over his body, and lying there, he felt a strange and unstoppable wave of lust in his body, which made him panic. He was lying there prone, clutching a bunch of grass tightly in his hands, his body stretched like a javelin, and those female soldiers who usually wouldn't look at them seemed to be very attractive to him at this moment, and his senses seemed to be more powerful than their own. How many times sharper than usual, even their shallow breaths, low voices, and even their well-dressed bodies whose curves are hard to see under the moonlight, all touched his breath and tickled his ears, catches his eye... "It's not right, it's not right..." Luo Kedi muttered to himself. "My lord general, what's wrong?" Tuo'er Guoguo at the side crept closer and asked in a low voice. Luo Kedi turned his head and looked around, exhaled scorching breath, and said in a low voice: "This... is called Haile Ridge, right? It used to be full of locust trees? It is said that locust trees are yin in nature and often gather ghost energy. Evil..." Tuer Guoguo let out a chuckle, and said in a low voice: "My lord, in our Khitan language, Haile means elm tree, not locust tree. What kind of ghosts can gather here? The general's murderous intent is so heavy, what's the matter?" Lonely ghosts also want... whoever touches me... ah!" Tuo'er Guoguo let out a low cry, and quickly covered her mouth. She was talking close to Luo Kedi, when she suddenly noticed a hand touching her buttocks. She thought some sister was joking with her, so she slapped her hand away just now. Immediately, he realized that the owner of that big hand was actually Luo Kedi, so he couldn't help covering his mouth and widening his eyes in surprise. Luo Ke's anti-drug attack, his heart was shaking and he couldn't hold it back. When she laughed "snap", it sounded like the sound of heaven in her ears. One hand touched her buttocks unconsciously, and waited for a while. Touching the soft and elastic plump buttocks, Luo Kedi, who tasted the charm of the opposite sex for the first time, completely lost consciousness, and his hand stroked it again. Tuo'er Guoguofang's heart was beating wildly, she was surprised and delighted: "General Luo... actually... actually likes me..., but this place... Mr. General is too courageous..." Tuo'er Guoguo grabbed the salty pig's hand that was eating tofu on her buttocks, and bowed her head shyly: "You can't do it here. If the general likes Guoguo, after you go back..." As soon as she said this, she suddenly felt a cloud of scorching breath on her face, looked up in surprise, and saw Luo Kedi with his eyes wide open, jumping on her body like a wolf. Tuer Guoguo was stunned for a moment, and then heard a "squeak", his chest felt cold, and his clothes were torn, Tuer Guoguo cried out in fright, "Come on, Master Luo ...he's bewitched!" The female soldiers around widened their eyes in surprise...
It was quiet in the big tent, Shi Fang and Guo Xi slowly stood up and left their seats. As soon as they saw Xiao Chuo retreating from the left and right, they expected that the queen would have some secret matters to discuss with each other, so they couldn't help standing up nervously. Xiao Chuo left his seat slowly, two lines of tears suddenly flowed down, Shi Fang and Guo Xi were startled when they saw it, they said frantically, "Your Majesty, what... what does this mean?" Xiao Chuo suddenly cried and bowed to the ground, and said in a sobbing voice: "My lords, my father died early, and I have no brothers, and there are no cronies in the family to help. Now the emperor is weak, and it is difficult to manage the government. Dan, although Xiao Chuo has today's glory, he is a tree without roots, his family members are powerful, each has different ideas, the frontier defense is not stable, and the four sides covet him, Xiao Chuo really doesn't know what to do." Seeing her kneeling down, Shi Fang and Guo Xi were so frightened that they fell to their knees and kowtowed repeatedly. After hearing what Xiao Chuo said, the two old ministers kowtowed loudly and said excitedly: "As long as there are veterans around, I swear to protect the emperor and empress to the death, and will never allow traitors to make trouble. Although the old minister is old, he is willing to go forward for the empress, but he has an order, and the old minister will obey. The empress, please get up quickly, and don't kill the old minister. " Xiao Chuo was lifted up by them, and said with tears in his eyes: "My lords, to tell the truth, even though King Qing rebelled, he has exposed his minions after all. I can take precautions, but in the court... there is another group of people who covet the throne. , used open and dark arrows against Bengong, and used tricks. They saw that Bengong reused virtuous ministers like the two love ministers, so they said that Bengong alienated the royal family, reused different surnames, wooed the party and the masses, and used both soft and hard methods. Bengong... really can't bear it Living." Shi Fang and Guo Xi couldn't help but change their expressions. They are not the royal family, and now they are able to control the power of the Northern and Southern Houses, thanks to the queen's favor. They knew that the royal family was dissatisfied with their occupation of such a high position, but they did not expect the struggle to come. At this point, they have been in power for the past two years, and they have been loyal to the court, and they have offended many law-breaking dignitaries. If the queen can't bear to abandon them, then their situation is really worse than death. Xiao Chuo said again: "But I know that the two adults are loyal, how can I part with them? Now I intend to eliminate the traitors in the court, and the two adults are willing to advance and retreat with me?" After hearing this, Shi Fang and Guo Xi couldn't help them to think too much. Under Xiao Chuo's tearful gaze, the two old ministers couldn't help but feel a youthful spirit in their chests. They immediately put their hands on their chests and said in a deep voice: "The old minister wishes for the Supreme Longevity!" God swears, the queen has orders, and she will obey them all, and I swear to die for my empress!" Xiao Chuo wiped away his tears and said: "Okay, General Yeluxiu has always been loyal to me, and he will return to Beijing soon. It needs the help of two adults." When the two heard that Da Tiyin, who commanded a hundred thousand palace guards, was also serving for the empress, their hearts became more determined, and they said in a deep voice: "But according to the order of the empress." Empress Xiao was overjoyed, and immediately brought nine large bowls, filled them with wine, took out a saber and cut her fingers, and dripped blood one by one in the bowls. When Shi Fang and Guo Xi saw it, they knew that the empress wanted to make an alliance with them, so they both Draw a knife and saber, cut your fingers, and drip blood from bowl to bowl. Empress Xiao held up a big bowl and said in a vibrating voice: "Today, I and the two lords have made an alliance by blood. From now on, we will live and die together, and share wealth and honor!" The two old officials, Shi Fang and Guo Xi, hurriedly picked up a bowl of wine and drank it down. After drinking a bowl of strong wine, Empress Xiao's cheeks were already flushed, and she was dizzy. She held another bowl of wine and said: "After the matter is completed, I will seal the two adults as Da Yue, and the descendants will enjoy the shade forever." Woo." After finishing speaking, he drank it all in one gulp, Shi Fang and Guo Xi were overjoyed. Da Yue was originally a Khitan official position. At the beginning of Khitan’s founding, the official position was simple. Yu Yue was equivalent to the prime minister, who took over the military and political power. Later, after studying the Central Plains and establishing a detailed official system, Yu Yue became a title, only awarded to the nobles with the most meritorious service. What an honor it is to have a prominent position, above all officials and kings, and to be equal to the throne in etiquette, also known as "king side by side". Shi Fang and Guo Xi were overjoyed, saying that their wealth and safety depended on Xiao Chuo, and why would they die just for this supreme glory? Empress Xiao held the third bowl of wine, her delicate body swayed, her cheeks were flushed, and she was quite drunk, but she said in a heroic manner: "This third bowl of wine is to celebrate the success of me and the two adults in advance, and to wish our plans to succeed. , seek a hundred years of peace for my Khitan!" "Do it!" The three of them touched the wine bowls and gulped down the full bowl. He forced himself to send the two adults away on horseback, the big event Xiao Chuo wanted to plan could be expected, although he was drunk and couldn't control himself, he was full of joy and wished he couldn't tell others about his joy.The palace servants hurried forward to help Xiao Chuo. Xiao Chuo, who was so drunk, completely forgot the secret mission that Dong'er was sent to do. She leaned on a maid with drunken eyes, and vaguely ordered: "Go... go Luo On the official residence..."
The yurt was spacious and bright, with huge red candles as thick as arms burning at the four corners. Empress Xiao sat in the middle, Shi Fang and Guo Xi sat on the left and right, and two teams of court dancers were dancing between them.Khitan's court dances are not as gorgeous as the dances of the Central Plains, but full of grassland customs.Girls from the two teams sang and danced in unison, dancing happily to the rhythm of the Jiegu. Shi Fang and Guo Xi raised their glasses with smiles on their faces, and said to Xiao Chuo: "Your Majesty treats me with generosity and appreciation, and I am deeply grateful for it. Today, I will offer you some good wine from your Majesty, wishing my imperial body a speedy recovery and my Majesty's youth forever. " Xiao Chuo raised his glass and said in a loud voice: "Since the emperor ascended the throne, due to his weak health, all the state affairs have been paid to the palace. The palace is a weak female stream. Since assisting the country, it has depended on two adults to help and wait. With the help of these two lords, I was able to keep our Khitan country stable and the tribes respectful, this glass of wine should be respected by Xiao Chuo, two lords, please." After Xiao Chuo finished speaking, he raised his glass and drank it down, and Dong'er who was standing beside him quickly filled it up for her. Xiao Chuo doesn't drink much, and usually doesn't touch his lips, but tonight, for some reason, he is in high spirits, he dries up the wine and talks and laughs happily.Seeing that the empress drank the wine in the glass, the two veterans naturally did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly drank the wine in the glass in one gulp. Xiao Chuo lowered his posture, intertwined with the two old ministers, and recounted the achievements of the two of them in their lives, without any mistakes or omissions. The two old ministers could not imagine that the young empress knew all the achievements of his own life, and couldn't help but burst into tears. A sense of confidant arises spontaneously. The guests and the host were chatting happily, and a female official quietly walked into the big tent. This female official was named Ta Buyan, and she was Xiao Chuo's personal maid who served Xiao Chuo at Xiao's house when she was not married. The favored female officer is only illiterate, so she has been unable to take on any important positions. Ta Buyan whispered a few words to Xiao Chuo, Xiao Chuo put down his wine glass, waved to Dong'er, summoned her in front of him, and said in a low voice: "They've arrived, what did I ask you to prepare?" Dong'er touched his waist, and said back: "Ma'am, things are always on Dong'er's body." Xiao Chuo nodded and said: "Very good, you and Ta Buyan immediately lead people out of the city, and ambushe them on the road, remember, no one will be left alive." Dong'er was stunned, and lost her voice: "Now?" Xiao Chuo said: "That's right, they came here overnight, and they will arrive in Shangjing in two hours, and they just happened to do it at night, so if there is any omission, it's not easy for them to figure out your identities." Dong'er thought to himself: "Too bad, I invited Brother Hao to come see me, I'm afraid I will have to force Brother Hao to guard the empty bed alone tonight." Seeing her expression, Xiao Chuo thought she was a little nervous, so he smiled and said: "You don't have to worry, just follow the hunting method I taught you and treat them as flying foxes and hares. When we arrived in Beijing, our vigilance was at its lowest, and if we didn't expect them, we would be able to wipe them all out." She pondered for a while, and said: "It's a secret, I don't want too many people in the royal family to know. How about this, let your cousin go with a few confidantes, with his martial arts and battle experience, it can be guaranteed Nothing is lost for you." She turned her head and said to the female official: "Ta Buyan, you pick some loyal and reliable female guards, and then call General Luo, so that no one else can be alarmed." Letting his confidants participate in secrets is a way to make him more loyal than rewards, and Xiao Chuo naturally understands the truth. After hearing this, Ta Buyan agreed, and as soon as she pulled Luo Dong'er, she pulled her out. They went here to ambush the envoys of Nianbage. Nianbage is a tribal alliance regime in the west of the Khitan. During the Han Dynasty, this generation was the nomadic land of the Tiele people. During the Sui Dynasty, it belonged to the Western Turks. During the Tang Dynasty, it belonged to the Beiting Dufu. When Jiedu is unable to control, this place will regain its independence. When Khitan establishes a country and becomes stronger and stronger, they will submit to Khitan as a vassal. Because the Northern Han State relied most on Khitan, the envoys of the Han State were stationed in Shangjing.When the Nianbage envoy came to Beijing last year, he had disputes with the envoys of the Northern Han Dynasty. The rough-natured Nianbage man got drunk and recklessly killed the deputy envoy of the Han Dynasty on the spot. The Northern Han Kingdom is now weak. , no one can afford to offend, under the Khitan and the mud, they have to swallow their anger, but this can be regarded as a bridge between the two sides. Due to the situation, Xiao Chuo had no choice but to surrender to Song temporarily, but she was afraid that this matter would damage the Khitan national prestige, and it would become a reason for the Khitan royals with ulterior motives to attack her, so she wanted to find someone who refused to help the North. Han's grand reason.This reason is to use the old grievances formed between the Northern Han Dynasty and the Nianbage tribe to create an attack and murder accident, so as to find a reason for Khitan to abandon the Northern Han Dynasty. For this reason, she had ordered Dong'er to obtain a token of identity from the Northern Han embassy post stationed in Beijing, which was enough to be embarrassing. When the Nianbage envoy came to Beijing, she would ambush on the road as a Northern Han person, to This is to blame the Northern Han Dynasty.At that time, Khitan will use this incident as a reason to expel the envoys of the Han Dynasty and announce the severance of diplomatic relations between the two countries. Such a severe sanction, on the one hand, can put aside the relationship between Khitan and Han, find a high-sounding reason for them to refuse aid to Han, and also use this to narrow the relationship with the Nianbage tribe.King Qing has now fled to Yinzhou, and establishing a closer relationship with the Nianbage tribe in the west of the northwest will help isolate King Qing. This plan can kill two birds with one stone. Ta Buyan was loyal to Xiao Chuo and followed her orders unswervingly, immediately dragged Dong'er away, Dong'er secretly complained, but she had no choice but could not find a chance to tell her officials.At that moment, he had no choice but to change clothes with Ta Buyan, put on soft armor inside, strong clothes on the outside, and wrapped in a cloak, then secretly called out some confidant female guards, and sneaked out of the palace. Luo Kedi had just sent Yang Hao back to the mansion, and after drinking two cups of a pot of hot tea, Ta Buyan and Dong'er arrived.Luo Kedi greeted him out of the mansion inexplicably, Ta Buyan flicked away the left and right, and announced the secret decree. Luo Kedi had no way to refuse, so he had to dress neatly, and brought a few confidant guards, followed them on horses and galloped out of the city, at the gate of the city. Join those murderous female guards and go west. As soon as Luo Kedi left, Princess Ya arrived. When she heard that Luo Kedi had left with Ta Buyan and Luo Dong'er, Princess Ya couldn't help staring. She wanted to ask more carefully, but Niu Lujiao didn't know anything. Princess Ya is in a hurry. Once Luo Kedi, who drank the medicinal wine, has the effects of the medicine..., it will be fine if the tower is not smoked. Luo Dong'er is his cousin. Once they have something unethical, the evil they have done... The more Princess Ya thought about it, the more flustered she became. She wanted to find Luo Kedi to stop the tragedy, but what Luo Kedi did tonight was too secretive. Nu Luke only saw him flying to the west city, but who knew his exact whereabouts? .Princess Ya wanted to ask the queen, but she asked about their whereabouts for no reason. If the empress asked, how would she explain it?If it was known that she was a majestic princess secretly giving aphrodisiac to a man, even with the rough and unrestrained style of the Khitan people, as a child of the royal family, she would be ashamed to face others from now on. Shocked and frightened, Princess Ya was at war with heaven and man, and wandered outside Luo Kedi's mansion, not knowing what to do. Under the order of Yelu Chukuang, the person who monitored the whereabouts of Princess Ya brought a team of palace guards belonging to Yelu Chukuang to ambush quietly in the dark. Please master come forward to smooth things over and subdue this General Luo, who would have guessed... He also couldn't figure out what this Princess Ya was doing around the porch, he didn't know what to do, and he didn't dare to show his appearance, so he had to lead others patiently, very patiently, in the grass, lurking quietly...
Dong'er has been used to poverty since she was a child, and she doesn't like to be served by others. In addition, she has a quiet temperament, and often stays and rests in the palace, so there is no one in the house, only a very dull old couple who act as the gates and sweep the courtyard. ,Clean the room. Yang Hao came out of Luo Kedi's mansion and passed Dong'er's residence on the way. When he passed by the backyard, he sneaked into Dong'er's house.It was night at this time, and here was the North City. The people living in the imperial city were all dignitaries, nobles, and high-end houses. At night, there were no pedestrians on the street, and no one paid attention to his whereabouts.With his superb skills, he naturally enters the hall and enters the room easily. Yang Hao entered the bedroom, seeing that Dong'er hadn't come back, he didn't dare to light the lamp, so he took off his outer clothes, and lay on her bed in the dark with his daughter's body fragrance in his little clothes, his eyes half closed to nourish his spirit. This wine really has an aphrodisiac effect.Yang Hao felt that his stomach was gradually burning like a fire, so he couldn't help laughing secretly.Originally, wine is the matchmaker of sex, and this red wine has a long stamina, but... it seems that the effect is too obvious. Could it be that the pure green wine of this era is so effective? Yang Hao suddenly realized that his body's reaction seemed a little too strong. It was because of his long-standing body, and he had practiced dual cultivation techniques for too long. Once he was ignited by Dong'er, but he couldn't vent his desire, so the demons in his heart Growing up, so he didn't doubt that he thought, so he sat up cross-legged, and used his will to contend with his demons. Ordinary cultivators pay attention to purifying worldly thoughts, forgetting emotions too much and strengthening the heart of Taoism.However, there is another group of cultivators who find a different way, using the desires of mortals, which would hinder their cultivation, as the stepping stones to enlightenment. With a firm heart, he finally left the world of desire and was born in the world of form. Those who have achieved great success in this kind of practice are called magic masters in Taoism, and high-grade devil kings in Buddhism. The reason for using the word magic is because they admit that they have quite advanced kung fu, but they still have a big flaw. , It can also be described as a cover door.Because although this kind of exercise is easier to cultivate, it is also the master of the Tao and the devil. The stronger the concentration, the more lustful the lust. Femininity. Yang Hao's exercises originally had this kind of side effect, so he didn't make any other doubts at all.His willpower gradually took effect, and his heavy breathing gradually became longer. Yang Hao was satisfied with his control. He crossed his hands on his lower abdomen, breathed out slowly, and practiced vigorously. How did he know that he had taken a high-grade aphrodisiac by mistake today? With his meditation power and proper venting, it was enough to suppress the demons in his heart, but he drank the wine mixed with aphrodisiac, and it was like pouring a fire on the fire. The ladle oil, before the medicinal properties take effect at this moment, it is like a fire that has not been ignited, and the air is cut off by him. If once the will loses, it will suddenly penetrate a wisp of air like a simmering stove, and then it will explode, and the consequences can be imagined But he knew it, but he didn't realize it, and said that his concentration was getting deeper and deeper, and he felt a little complacent in his heart. At this time, Luo Kedi, who was galloping all the way out of the city, was lying in ambush on Haile Ridge, six miles outside Shangjing City, lying among a group of palace female guards, but he couldn't restrain himself, and became distracted. Weeds are overgrown on the ridge, and there are some scattered tree stumps. A small stream bypasses the ridge, and the stream is gurgling.Luo Kedi lay down on the ridge, and gradually felt something strange in his body.He doesn't drink as much wine as Yang Hao, but his meditation power is also not as good as Yang Hao's. Although he is a great general, he is decisive in killing and fighting, and the mountain collapses in front of him without changing his color, but that is on the battlefield.On the battlefield of lust, he is nothing more than a young boy with a strong blood.Especially during the galloping all the way, the blood scattered all over his body, and lying there, he felt a strange and unstoppable wave of lust in his body, which made him panic. He was lying there prone, clutching a bunch of grass tightly in his hands, his body stretched like a javelin, and those female soldiers who usually wouldn't look at them seemed to be very attractive to him at this moment, and his senses seemed to be more powerful than their own. How many times sharper than usual, even their shallow breaths, low voices, and even their well-dressed bodies whose curves are hard to see under the moonlight, all touched his breath and tickled his ears, catches his eye... "It's not right, it's not right..." Luo Kedi muttered to himself. "My lord general, what's wrong?" Tuo'er Guoguo at the side crept closer and asked in a low voice. Luo Kedi turned his head and looked around, exhaled scorching breath, and said in a low voice: "This... is called Haile Ridge, right? It used to be full of locust trees? It is said that locust trees are yin in nature and often gather ghost energy. Evil..." Tuer Guoguo let out a chuckle, and said in a low voice: "My lord, in our Khitan language, Haile means elm tree, not locust tree. What kind of ghosts can gather here? The general's murderous intent is so heavy, what's the matter?" Lonely ghosts also want... whoever touches me... ah!" Tuo'er Guoguo let out a low cry, and quickly covered her mouth. She was talking close to Luo Kedi, when she suddenly noticed a hand touching her buttocks. She thought some sister was joking with her, so she slapped her hand away just now. Immediately, he realized that the owner of that big hand was actually Luo Kedi, so he couldn't help covering his mouth and widening his eyes in surprise. Luo Ke's anti-drug attack, his heart was shaking and he couldn't hold it back. When she laughed "snap", it sounded like the sound of heaven in her ears. One hand touched her buttocks unconsciously, and waited for a while. Touching the soft and elastic plump buttocks, Luo Kedi, who tasted the charm of the opposite sex for the first time, completely lost consciousness, and his hand stroked it again. Tuo'er Guoguofang's heart was beating wildly, she was surprised and delighted: "General Luo... actually... actually likes me..., but this place... Mr. General is too courageous..." Tuo'er Guoguo grabbed the salty pig's hand that was eating tofu on her buttocks, and bowed her head shyly: "You can't do it here. If the general likes Guoguo, after you go back..." As soon as she said this, she suddenly felt a cloud of scorching breath on her face, looked up in surprise, and saw Luo Kedi with his eyes wide open, jumping on her body like a wolf. Tuer Guoguo was stunned for a moment, and then heard a "squeak", his chest felt cold, and his clothes were torn, Tuer Guoguo cried out in fright, "Come on, Master Luo ...he's bewitched!" The female soldiers around widened their eyes in surprise...
It was quiet in the big tent, Shi Fang and Guo Xi slowly stood up and left their seats. As soon as they saw Xiao Chuo retreating from the left and right, they expected that the queen would have some secret matters to discuss with each other, so they couldn't help standing up nervously. Xiao Chuo left his seat slowly, two lines of tears suddenly flowed down, Shi Fang and Guo Xi were startled when they saw it, they said frantically, "Your Majesty, what... what does this mean?" Xiao Chuo suddenly cried and bowed to the ground, and said in a sobbing voice: "My lords, my father died early, and I have no brothers, and there are no cronies in the family to help. Now the emperor is weak, and it is difficult to manage the government. Dan, although Xiao Chuo has today's glory, he is a tree without roots, his family members are powerful, each has different ideas, the frontier defense is not stable, and the four sides covet him, Xiao Chuo really doesn't know what to do." Seeing her kneeling down, Shi Fang and Guo Xi were so frightened that they fell to their knees and kowtowed repeatedly. After hearing what Xiao Chuo said, the two old ministers kowtowed loudly and said excitedly: "As long as there are veterans around, I swear to protect the emperor and empress to the death, and will never allow traitors to make trouble. Although the old minister is old, he is willing to go forward for the empress, but he has an order, and the old minister will obey. The empress, please get up quickly, and don't kill the old minister. " Xiao Chuo was lifted up by them, and said with tears in his eyes: "My lords, to tell the truth, even though King Qing rebelled, he has exposed his minions after all. I can take precautions, but in the court... there is another group of people who covet the throne. , used open and dark arrows against Bengong, and used tricks. They saw that Bengong reused virtuous ministers like the two love ministers, so they said that Bengong alienated the royal family, reused different surnames, wooed the party and the masses, and used both soft and hard methods. Bengong... really can't bear it Living." Shi Fang and Guo Xi couldn't help but change their expressions. They are not the royal family, and now they are able to control the power of the Northern and Southern Houses, thanks to the queen's favor. They knew that the royal family was dissatisfied with their occupation of such a high position, but they did not expect the struggle to come. At this point, they have been in power for the past two years, and they have been loyal to the court, and they have offended many law-breaking dignitaries. If the queen can't bear to abandon them, then their situation is really worse than death. Xiao Chuo said again: "But I know that the two adults are loyal, how can I part with them? Now I intend to eliminate the traitors in the court, and the two adults are willing to advance and retreat with me?" After hearing this, Shi Fang and Guo Xi couldn't help them to think too much. Under Xiao Chuo's tearful gaze, the two old ministers couldn't help but feel a youthful spirit in their chests. They immediately put their hands on their chests and said in a deep voice: "The old minister wishes for the Supreme Longevity!" God swears, the queen has orders, and she will obey them all, and I swear to die for my empress!" Xiao Chuo wiped away his tears and said: "Okay, General Yeluxiu has always been loyal to me, and he will return to Beijing soon. It needs the help of two adults." When the two heard that Da Tiyin, who commanded a hundred thousand palace guards, was also serving for the empress, their hearts became more determined, and they said in a deep voice: "But according to the order of the empress." Empress Xiao was overjoyed, and immediately brought nine large bowls, filled them with wine, took out a saber and cut her fingers, and dripped blood one by one in the bowls. When Shi Fang and Guo Xi saw it, they knew that the empress wanted to make an alliance with them, so they both Draw a knife and saber, cut your fingers, and drip blood from bowl to bowl. Empress Xiao held up a big bowl and said in a vibrating voice: "Today, I and the two lords have made an alliance by blood. From now on, we will live and die together, and share wealth and honor!" The two old officials, Shi Fang and Guo Xi, hurriedly picked up a bowl of wine and drank it down. After drinking a bowl of strong wine, Empress Xiao's cheeks were already flushed, and she was dizzy. She held another bowl of wine and said: "After the matter is completed, I will seal the two adults as Da Yue, and the descendants will enjoy the shade forever." Woo." After finishing speaking, he drank it all in one gulp, Shi Fang and Guo Xi were overjoyed. Da Yue was originally a Khitan official position. At the beginning of Khitan’s founding, the official position was simple. Yu Yue was equivalent to the prime minister, who took over the military and political power. Later, after studying the Central Plains and establishing a detailed official system, Yu Yue became a title, only awarded to the nobles with the most meritorious service. What an honor it is to have a prominent position, above all officials and kings, and to be equal to the throne in etiquette, also known as "king side by side". Shi Fang and Guo Xi were overjoyed, saying that their wealth and safety depended on Xiao Chuo, and why would they die just for this supreme glory? Empress Xiao held the third bowl of wine, her delicate body swayed, her cheeks were flushed, and she was quite drunk, but she said in a heroic manner: "This third bowl of wine is to celebrate the success of me and the two adults in advance, and to wish our plans to succeed. , seek a hundred years of peace for my Khitan!" "Do it!" The three of them touched the wine bowls and gulped down the full bowl. He forced himself to send the two adults away on horseback, the big event Xiao Chuo wanted to plan could be expected, although he was drunk and couldn't control himself, he was full of joy and wished he couldn't tell others about his joy.The palace servants hurried forward to help Xiao Chuo. Xiao Chuo, who was so drunk, completely forgot the secret mission that Dong'er was sent to do. She leaned on a maid with drunken eyes, and vaguely ordered: "Go... go Luo On the official residence..."
