Chapter 6 Chapter 6 Bound

Sharp arrows came flying like rain. Fortunately, Zhe Ziyu and the others came from the north. At this moment, the north wind was strong, which affected the range of the arrows. , not much lethality. The leader of the dozen or so Jurchen warriors was named Naru. When he saw that the situation was not good, he immediately shouted: "Go!" As he spoke, he drove the dog, and the sled made an arc and came back.The other two sleds also followed suit and hurriedly fled the way they came. The people galloping here were the men of Huyan Aobo and Li Jiyun. They pretended to attack Yanzhou, and they originally wanted to attract the Xixia army stationed in various places to leave the station to come to help, and then jumped out of the encirclement and walked away.

However, in the eyes of the generals of Xixia, they are a stepping stone for military exploits and promotion. Since Yang Hao took over the Xixia city, a large amount of technology and experience from the Central Plains have been introduced in the city defense, which is no longer the same as in the past. It is not a three-day or two-day effort to be able to attack.With this in mind, the various soldiers and horses who came to help did not rush to Yanzhou immediately, but pre-studied the direction where they might escape, and consciously intercepted their escape route. As a result, when Huyan Aobo guessed that all the reinforcements had already left the station and was about to rush to Yanzhou, he repeated the old trick of cutting and stepping on the village and left the camp at night, but he found several escape routes they had planned in advance There are figures of the activities of the Xixia Army all over the place.If they rushed over immediately without hesitation, they might not be able to escape, but Huyan Aobo was a little hesitant. He was worried that he was in an ambush, so he sent scouts to make a feint attack, waiting for him to figure out the enemy in front of him. With his true strength, the other Xixia armies rushed over like a pack of wolves that had seen a rabbit.

Huyan Aobo missed the opportunity, so that he was restrained at every step. He led the army to block east and west, and rushed south and north, killing here and there. Not only could he not move to the Qilian Mountains in the south, but was forced to the north, and he ran into Zheziyu a group of people. Huyan Aobo's men were surrounded by heavy siege, enemies were everywhere, and there was no friendly army along the way, so there was no need to identify the identities of Zhe Ziyu and the others. "Walk!" The three snow sledges turned around and turned around, and Naru stood on the sledges, drawing an arrow and bow, turned around and shot.The dog was running fast, and the sled was bumping, but he was able to stand firmly on the snow sledge, and he could even draw a bow and shoot an arrow. His skills were amazing.

"Sa!" One shot of three arrows, the arrows are like shooting stars, followed by a single arrow, one arrow after another like a string of arrows, just look at his wrist lightly lifted, a feathered arrow landed in his hand, and then the arrow was shot out, this one-handed archery Compared with the dozen or so of Li Guangcen's men who could seal off the entire mountain pass with a single quick arrow, the master archers who suppressed the Khitan soldiers and horses were not far behind. Those skilled archers can not only shoot straight arrows, but also shoot five arrows with one arrow, but 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, charging like a tiger.Although he is arrogant and arrogant, he is very popular among his subordinates. In addition to confiding in his own people, he will always charge forward in every bloody battle. This is also the reason.The speed of the sled was faster than that of a galloping horse. With this sudden jump, the distance between the two sides had already opened up. At this time, he was still far away from the sled in front of him. , couldn't hurt him, so he wasn't afraid at all, and didn't even make a blocking movement. Unexpectedly, Nalu flew towards him with an arrow, and its momentum did not diminish at all. Huyan Aobo was taken aback, cleaned up his arrogance, and hurriedly leaned up to avoid the arrow, just as he sat up, another arrow shot The tail came after him, and hit him right in the heart with a "poof".Huyan Aobo let out a cry of pain, he never thought that he underestimated the enemy for a moment and was injured by this unknown pawn.

At this moment, the third arrow came again, Huyan Aobo raised his saber sharply without hesitation, and knocked the arrow flying with a "Dang", the speed and force of the arrow were so terrifying that Huyan Aobo's mouth went numb from the shock. Can't help but feel horrified.Who is the person in front of him who has such amazing archery skills. It turned out that Nalu was born with supernatural powers and was able to pull running bulls. The range of the powerful bow he used was no less than that of the first-grade bows equipped by the Xixia Army. He had just shot three arrows to block the enemy. Suddenly he saw a big man in the enemy group screaming The imposing manner was uncommon, it was expected to be the leader, he immediately greeted him with three arrows, intending to take his life, but Huyan Aobo miscalculated the strength of this person's arms, and unexpectedly got hit by the arrow.

Huyan Aobo's men and horses were rushing all the way, and when they met someone, they would instinctively shoot arrows to kill them, but the snow sledge of Nalu and his party always ran in front of them. If they fled in a diagonal stab in the other direction, they would have no time to chase them. , but Naru didn't know the intentions of these enemies, and escaping obliquely would easily shorten the distance with the enemies, so how dare he take the risk. Now that Huyan Aobo was in danger, his soldiers were furious, and immediately chased after Nalu and others, vowing to drive them all to death.

For a while, Zhezi Yu Nalu and others fled in front, Huyan's arrogant troops chased after him, and the Xixia army chased after him far away, and a race started on the vast snowfield. "They came after me, Fifth Young Master, you go to another sled, and I will lead them away." After circling for nearly an hour, the dogs pulling the sled were exhausted and out of breath, and the pursuers behind were also exhausted, unable to charge any more, and the Xixia army had been thrown far away, unless they followed the horseshoes. Otherwise, it would be impossible to catch up with them.At this moment, it was almost dusk, and a red sun as huge as a wheel in the sky was about to sink into the horizon. By then, the Xixia army would lose their traces, but Zhe Ziyu and Nalu's sled could not last until then.

Naru also saw clearly after this round of maneuvers. Those people were chasing after him at first, apparently he had hurt their important person. Just now, he chased all the way down, and his two pots of arrows were shot completely, and almost nothing was left. Fa, the number of people who died by his hands is unknown, even if their leader was not hurt, those people would not let him go, he was entrusted by the young patriarch, but he could not let this great benefactor of the clan be endangered. "Can you stop? As soon as the sled stops, they will catch up." In front of the enemy, Zhe Ziyu's expression is still calm, and Princess Yongqing's face is pale, but she has experienced a lot, although sharp arrows shuttle around from time to time , but never screamed in terror.

"I'll throw you over." Seeing the critical situation, Naru greeted another snow sledge and quickly exchanged a few words.As the sled ran, they drew closer. "Send her there first!" Zhe Ziyu pointed at Princess Yongqing. Nalu didn't say much, he abandoned his bow and arrow and picked up Princess Yongqing. He threw it away, and a big man caught Princess Yongqing and put him on the sled. Nalu turned back. Going to hug Zhe Ziyu again, Zhe Ziyu screamed: "Be careful!" As he said that, he dodged to avoid him, and slashed behind him with a sword. It turned out that the two sledges were about to change hands halfway, and the speed slowed down a little. The pursuers behind noticed something was wrong, and immediately fired arrows at them. The arrow was as fast as lightning, and it had already pierced through the air. It hit Nalu's back shoulder with a "poof".

This delay brought the pursuers closer, and seeing that he couldn't leave, Zhe Ziyu immediately shouted: "Let's go separately!" Seeing this situation, the Jurchen warrior over there knew that it would be difficult to take her over, so he gritted his teeth and shook the rein, and left. The two sleds went their separate ways, but the third sled made an arc and turned back to Hu Yanao Bo's men rushed forward, determined to buy them time to escape with their own efforts. The two sleds carrying Zhe Ziyu and Princess Yongqing went their separate ways, but the pursuers still only spotted the car in which Nalu was. The self-sacrificing sled was like a small rock and was quickly destroyed. The turbulent tide of enemies overwhelmed them, and they bought time for Nalu and Zhe Ziyu, but Nalu was hit by an arrow, and no one was able to control the dogs. It slid over and bumped heavily, and Nalu, Zhe Ziyu, and another soldier standing on the crow's tail were thrown into the air and fell heavily onto the snow. The dogs fled away dragging the empty sled, and when they got up from the snow pit in a dazed fall, the enemy's cavalry had already chased them. "Ah!" Naru yelled in despair, pulled out his saber with a "clang" sound, and rushed forward. "Drink!" There was a sound of fluttering clothes, but it was Li Jijun who jumped off the horse and looked down on him. The long knife in his hand greeted Nalu like a ponytail with a sharp sound of wind. At the same time, several people rushed towards him. another samurai. "Dang!" There was a loud sound, and Nalu, who had already been hit by an arrow on his shoulder, couldn't use his full strength. Li Jiyun was also a man of amazing brute force. When the knife collided, Nalu's knife was immediately raised high, and his knife was fine. Not good, the blade was raised, and before it could be slashed down with force, it broke from it.Naru was also fierce, he leaped forward and stabbed Li Jiyun's thigh with the knife in his hand. With a scream, Li Jiyun raised his other leg and kicked Nalu in the chest, kicking him into the air, and the steel knife in his hand flew up like a halo, cutting across his neck with a "swipe", blood spattered, A big head has risen into the sky. The sky has completely darkened, and there is only a slant of sun in the sky, and the blood is floating in the air, like a gloomy sunset glow. Li Jiyun staggered a step, leaned on the ground with a knife, and watched the hat fall into the snow, revealing the pretty face of his daughter Zhe Ziyu sneered and said, "A woman? The guards around me also have such skills. They are extraordinary people. Say, who are you?"
"Zhu Yun, are you back?" Yang Hao read several memorials submitted by Zhong Fang, listened to his opinions on how to deal with it, and told him how smooth it was, so Zhong Fang withdrew.Yang Hao immediately went to the side hall with a happy face to see Zhu Yun who had rushed back from Ganzhou. Zhu Yun was nervously thinking about how to speak and how to act when she saw Yang Hao. When Yang Hao spoke, she was startled, and forgot everything she had thought of. When she saw Yang Hao smiling, she immediately blushed, At a loss, he squeaked and said: "Ah... yes! Dudu Zhang has been in Ganzhou, Aguli has abdicated and accepted the post of commander conferred by the imperial court again. I... I am a fake spy... naturally... With the consummation of merit and virtue, he stepped down smoothly." Yang Hao laughed loudly: "Okay, the sentence of consummation of merit and virtue is good, this time you kill Su Erman, you will make another contribution for me, you like to drink, how about you, set up a table of wine, and I will clean up the dust for you .” Yang Hao is very happy, not only because of Zhu Yun's return, but also because the integration of Xingzhou is progressing smoothly. The original worry is a bit too much. The source is in the hands of the imperial court, and the remaining dignitaries of various tribes are completely unable to compete with Yang Hao, while the interests of ordinary people have not been affected, and there is no resistance, so Yang Hao reformed the tribes according to his long-planned new political foundation As a result, Xingzhou, bathed in blood and fire, is like a phoenix reborn from nirvana, showing a new atmosphere.Such a happy event, isn't it worth making a fuss about? However, Ding Chengzong, Zhongfang, and Yang Jiye are not good drinking buddies. These three people only drink for entertainment. After being drunk, she is even more naive. Drinking with her is really fun. When Zhu Yun heard it, her pretty face that was already red turned even redder, thinking that Yang Hao was deliberately teasing her ugly appearance of being drunk twice.She shyly said for a while, "Although Zhu Yun is a member of the court, she is a woman after all. If... if the king gives a banquet, drinks in the palace, and spreads it... it will inevitably damage the reputation of the king." Yang Hao said with a smile: "What good reputation do I have? Someone in Ganzhou said that Aguli was Su Erman's accomplice, and I coveted her beauty, so I got her off the hook. King Zhou You, who had fun with the feudal lords and beauties in the Fenghuo opera, loved beauties but not the country; some people in Xingzhou said that I planned to frame and kill the leaders of Tuoba Baibu, cruel and bloodthirsty, faint and cruel; Said, I annexed the Zhe family army, squeezed out Zhe Yuxun, and repaid my kindness with revenge, ruthless and unjust. Hehe, the world's slander is gathered in one body, what reputation is there?" Zhu Yun relaxed, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "It turns out that the king knows it all. Why are you weird? This crime is not the king's own fault." The charming and playful white eyes are lost, and the femininity is really getting more and more full. Yang Hao waved his hands and said with a smile: "Hehe, they have no ability to oppose me, so they have to say some nasty words to have fun. I'll take advantage of it, so I can't help letting them talk about it. Don't mention this, don't mention this, let's find someone A place to drink, I know a good place, you must like it." Zhu Yun wondered: "Where?" Yang Hao smiled and said, "I found a place by accident, wait for me for a while." After Yang Hao finished speaking, he left in a hurry.
Yang Hao was wearing a squirrel fur with a lapel collar and a squirrel fur hat of the same color.Today's Xingzhou is a royal city, and it can be regarded as the foot of the emperor. There are many dignitaries, nobles, officials and gentry. This kind of dress is not particularly conspicuous, but it does not lose its status. Zhu Yun is wearing a ferret fur, covered with a squirrel cape, Zhaojun warm cover covering the forehead, wearing buckskin boots, standing in a jade stand, and the autumn water is clear. Good, what a beautiful couple. This is a small 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 seem to be old and untouched.This was originally a relatively prosperous street in Xingzhou. After Yang Hao established Xingzhou as the capital and re-planned the large-scale construction projects, the street where this old alley is located suddenly became a relatively deserted and backward place, and there were fewer pedestrians all of a sudden. Entering the old alley, there is a fourth family with a dilapidated wine streamer, and Yang Hao leads Zhu Yun calmly.This is a restaurant. There is a wooden pillar at the entrance, and seven or eight dogs of various colors, black, white, yellow, and white, are tied to it.When he saw someone coming, he roared ferociously and was full of wildness. Even a female killer like Zhu Yun was a little startled when he heard it, and subconsciously touched the weapon in his sleeve. Zhu Yun stared at the dogs that pulled the ropes straight and kept growling and jumping, and muttered, "Why does the owner of this shop keep so many dogs, and they are all so fierce? Do customers dare to come?" Yang Hao said with a smile: "Look at the door, what is this place?" Zhu Yun looked at the door and saw the gray and old sign: "Tugou Zhai", and couldn't help laughing: "So it's a dog meat restaurant..." Hearing the barking of the dog, a short, fat middle-aged man in an oil-stained twisted apron came out, and when he saw Yang Hao, he smiled and said: "Oh, Mr. Yang, you are here again today, hurry up, come inside Please." As soon as the middle-aged man came out, all the dogs tied to the stakes and roaring ferociously lay down on the ground, and they didn't even make a sound. Zhu Yun took a look in surprise, and Yang Hao said: "When I saw it for the first time , I was also a little surprised. I found out later that this shopkeeper Yue has opened a dog meat restaurant all his life. Since he was a child, he has killed 8,000 if not 10,000 dogs. When these dogs smelled him, their bones became weak and they dared not move, even if some other wild beasts saw him, they would immediately run away." Zhu Yun thought to herself that she was also a first-class killer. Those dogs saw that she was as fierce as before, but they would be afraid of this fat man who opened the shop. Could it be that his murderous intent is heavier than mine?Zhu Yun looked at the master chef with a fat head and a thick neck, and said unconvinced: "I see that he smiles in a friendly manner, why can't he see that he is so fierce?" Yang Hao said with a smile: "The sense of smell of animals is a hundred times more sensitive than that of humans. They can sense some sounds and smells that we can't hear. The shopkeeper Yue is called Yue Jinhua. He only opens the shop every day when the sun is still high. It closes when the mountain falls, only kills three dogs a day, and never leaves them. That craftsmanship... people often say that the dog meat is rolled three times, and the gods smell it. You can’t stand still. You will eat the dog meat cooked by the shopkeeper Yue Only then did I know what fragrant meat is.” After hearing this, shopkeeper Yue puffed out his chest and belly, triumphantly. Yang Hao subdued himself in the city and discovered this place by accident. After that, he often pretended to come here to have a good meal to satisfy his appetite.The five-bedroom wife in the family is either a lady or a well-known family. Dog meat is not eaten. This is the first time that a female relative is brought here.After being praised by Yang Hao, shopkeeper Yue said with a smile: "Young Master Yang, the craftsmanship handed down from his ancestors is just such a small thing that I can't sell. This lady is a respectable lady, right? Oh, you look so handsome, like a painting Only you, my son, are worthy of such a beautiful lady." Zhu Yun was ashamed and happy when she heard it, she quickly glanced at Yang Hao, pretending she didn't hear it, but didn't argue.Yang Hao handed over a bunch of money to shopkeeper Yue, and said with a smile: "Stop flattering, it's still the same room, keep it with me, shall we?" Yang Hao was generous, and booked a small room by himself. There were too many people to sit in, so shopkeeper Yue showed his generosity and made the small room a private room for Yang Hao. After receiving the money, shopkeeper Yue smiled. He glanced at it and said repeatedly: "Of course, of course, if there is no room to sit, we can set up a table in the yard for guests to come out to eat. It is a private room for young masters, and no one else is allowed to enter the small ones. Please, please..." As soon as I entered the room, there was a crowd of people, people were full of voices, people who were guessing and persuading drinks, and everyone drank with eyes and ears. Yang Hao's wives really didn't get used to this kind of market atmosphere, but Zhu Yun was not used to such an environment. Get used to it.The higher Yang Hao's status is, the less free he becomes. Occasionally, he sneaks here to relax. After entering the small private room, the curtains were lowered, and the noise from the next door eased a bit. The two of them took off their boots and got on the kang, sat down cross-legged, and set a few light side dishes a few corners lower, and then the dishes, bowls, dishes, large and small utensils were served. Come up, there are cold and hot, steamed and boiled, but the main ingredients are dog meat, in the middle is a charcoal hot pot, steaming, boiling water tumbling, take a bite of dog meat, dip a bite of sauce into your mouth, Zhu Yun's eyes couldn't help but straighten: "It's really... really delicious, so delicious, it's as if... the tongue has melted!" Yang Hao lifted the tin jug from the hot water bowl, and poured wine for her with a smile: "Accompanied by a sip of hot old wine, you will be really happy like a fairy." "It's a rare good opportunity, and there is no one else here. I... must not drink alcohol today. I must stay absolutely sober and confess my feelings to him... I will confess my feelings to him! I... I will take a few sips, Zhuang Courage..." Zhu Yun picked up the bowl and took a sip of the wine, her eyes lit up immediately: "Good wine!" A bowl of old wine brewed by the Yue family, immediately drank it to the brim... "I want to see the king, there is a very urgent matter!" Outside the palace, Princess Yongqing and a few Jurchen warriors anxiously explained, but the guards at the gate didn't listen at all: "It's just a joke, just come here and say that you have an urgent matter, and your majesty has to see it? Go, go, go, If you continue to make noise, you will be punished for disturbing the palace gate, and you will be sent to prison!" "I really have something important to do!" Princess Yongqing was so anxious that she was about to cry. At this time, a light car slowly approached the palace gate from the royal road, and the palace gate opened wide immediately. The guard who spoke to Yongqing was in a hurry, and hurriedly drove her away: "Hurry up, the empress has returned to the palace, and Fengjia was shocked, but it is the crime of beheading." "Your Majesty?" Princess Yongqing was pushed away, she tiptoed to look at the palace gate, and saw that the car had arrived at the gate of the palace, the curtain of the car was rolled, and there was a beautiful woman sitting in the car, and there were two pink makeups on the left and right. Yuzhuo's little baby is still playing and playing around. Once Princess Yongqing saw the appearance of the stunning beauty, she couldn't help being shocked: "Why is she? How could she be the Princess of Xixia!"
