Chapter 493 Chapter Seven: The Head of Akiko

Ba Fenghan said: "Brother Lie speaks Chinese better than me. I don't know if you have lived in Middle Earth for a long time?" The four of them were sitting on an earthen platform near the river in a shop specializing in sheepskin trading on Hualin Street, sitting around a table and drinking wine facing the river. According to Lie Xia, this shop was opened by Huihe people, and because of this relationship, they are especially cared for by the tribe.But the three of them felt that the Uighur shopkeeper named Kele Daming treated him with a submissive demeanor, unlike the general relationship of the same clan.

The three of them felt that Lie Xia was unpredictable. Although he spoke high-sounding and treated them politely and respectfully, they always felt that he had ulterior motives, not just as simple as it appeared on the surface. So Ba Fenghan opened the conversation and immediately questioned him subtly.Lie Xia was filling wine for the three of them, and said with a smile: "Yumeng has never been to Middle-earth, but he admires the culture of Middle-earth very much, so he tries his best to learn Chinese, so that when he goes to Middle-earth in the future, he will not speak a word." barriers and barriers.”

Xu Ziling gazed at the beautiful scenery of thousands of miles of fertile fields on the other side of the Songhua River. Among the dense forests, a few herdsmen wearing bright caps in the distance drove a large herd of cattle and sheep slowly away; on the river flowing northwest, fishermen on rafts pulled out their nets ,—everything is full of the breath of life, and I can't help but feel a little worried, whether the increasingly dangerous struggle among the tribes outside the Great Wall will destroy the peace and harmony in front of me one day. Lie Xia said again: "Keldaming will ask people to prepare several different kinds of mud-baked fresh fish and put them on the table for the three of you to taste."

The street is still noisy, horses and sheep neighing, but the platform seems to be far away from the hustle and bustle, making people feel the tranquility of the Songhua River.Their horses were placed in the back yard connected to the earth platform, and they were resting and grazing peacefully within their sight. Clinking glasses and drinking, Kou Zhong said: "We met Brother Lie here, I wonder if it is another misunderstanding." Earlier, Lie Xia joked to Princess Wei Shili, the big family, don't misunderstand that it was a coincidence, so Kou Zhong said this. Lie Xia laughed and said: "Of course it's not a misunderstanding, because Yumeng came here after hearing the news, and I'm here to wait for the three masters."

The three of them didn't expect him to be so frank, and they were stunned. Ba Fenghan frowned and said, "Brother Lie's knowledge is amazing. I don't know why you guessed that we will come to Hualin?" Lie Xia said indifferently: "From Yanyuan to Longquan, the Hualin is the only way to go. The style of the big brothers, of course, will not avoid the detours, right?" Xu Ziling withdrew his gaze from staring at Kishihara, and cast his eyes on Lie Xia. This person seemed to be born with a kind of evil temperament, and this happened to constitute his unique charm.

Kou Zhong's eyes shot a sharp light, he looked him up with a godly look and said: "Brother Lie refuses to confess the purpose of coming here to find us, we will leave immediately." Lie Xia smiled and said: "Young commander is serious! The reason why Yumeng came here to drink and taste fish with the three big brothers is to warn the three that the most powerful figures in Khitan, Mohe and Shiwei decided not to To take care of your close relationship with Tuli, not only to prevent you from sending Wucaishi to Longquan, but also to kill you at all costs. The most poisonous woman's heart, you have fallen into the poison of that beautiful bitch."

Ba Feng snorted coldly: "Brother Lie is not related to us, why is he not afraid to risk offending the three forces to warn us?" Lie Xia said lightly: "Because I am not afraid of them at all, but I admire the three from the bottom of my heart." Kou Zhong smiled and said: "Brother Lie is indeed very bold, but I don't know who they are, can you tell me?" Lie Xia said happily: "Of course Khitan is a great chieftain headed by A Baojia, and Mohe is Heishui Mohe, who is as powerful as Baiziting, and Shiwei is Shenmohuan and Mu. Ling and his wife are evil thieves. In order not to offend Tuli, they will each send out their top experts to get rid of you cleanly. Therefore, if the three lie in ambush, they will definitely encounter Lei Xia Wanjun's attack; If you take it lightly, you may suffer a big loss."

Ba Fenghan said in a deep voice: "Belgunatai brothers of Mengwu Shiwei are not among them?" Lie Xia shook his head and said: "Belgunatai and Bugunatai are two brothers with world-class martial arts. They fight alone for no reason. How can they bother to join forces with others to deceive others, so don't worry about them participating in such tricks." Xu Ziling said indifferently: "Brother Lie's news is beyond common sense. How can you prove that brother Lie is not a master sent by the three-party coalition?" Ba Fenghan and Kou Zhong had the same suspicion.The two pairs of eyes were sharp, and they were ready to kill this person with all their strength if they didn't agree with each other, so as to avoid endless troubles. Therefore, people's martial arts and intelligence can make people feel fear and scruples.

Lie Xia suddenly stretched out her hand and opened the skirt, revealing a broad and strong chest. A strange graphic tattoo with red and yellow as the main pattern appeared impressively. At first glance, it looked like the head of a strange beast, and at the same time, it looked like a portrait with a blue face and fangs. Ba Fenghan was slightly stunned and said, "Da Ming Zunjiao?" Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling exchanged glances, the Da Ming Zunjiao tattoo on Lie Xia's chest is obviously different from the tattoo on the Wolf Bandit. Could it be that the Wolf Bandit has nothing to do with the Daming Zunjiao?

Lie Xia said seriously: "Yumeng is Miaokong Mingzi who is the head of the five bright sons under the seat of the great venerable and good mother. You should now understand why Yumeng is so well-informed, let alone afraid of anyone?" Kou Zhong scratched his head and said, "Brother Lie, isn't we an enemy and not a friend?" Lie Xia asked in surprise, "When did the enmity between us end?" Xu Ziling stared at him and said, "Isn't the coquettish lady from Shanhaiguan one of yours?" Lie Xia laughed dumbly and said: "It turns out there was a misunderstanding. Mrs. Sao used to be my teacher, but she later defected and fled to the Central Plains. The good mother Nian Zai had served her for many years, so she decided not to pursue it and spare her life."

Kou Zhong smiled and said: "Before she died, she was still reading the scriptures of your Daming Zunjiao, it seems that the apostasy was not complete." Lie Si said happily: "Ming Zun bless, she was able to find her way back with a little spiritual light before she died. After death, she should be able to turn from darkness to light, and enter the blessed land of eternal light." He pushed it all the way, and the three of them couldn't do anything about him. Ba Fenghan said in a deep voice: "The reason why the Bodhisattva was expelled from Huihe has nothing to do with your religion?" Lie Xia smiled bitterly and said: "This is even more of a misunderstanding. Yumeng himself is a Uyghur, so of course he hopes that there will be a hero like Bodhisattva to revitalize Uyghur, so that we can rise with the tide of the country and spread the teachings. The real reason why Bodhisattva was driven away is Xie Li put pressure on Shi Jian, but Shi Jian pushed the responsibility on us, it is indeed wronged." Xu Ziling said: "Brother Lie has said so many things, but he still hasn't said why your religion wants to help us." Lie Xia smiled and said: "We hope that the three of you can deliver the five stones to Bai Ziting." Ba Fenghan suddenly said: "Brother Lie is standing on the side of worshiping Ziting." Lie Xia looked up to the sky with a smile: "No, no. In fact, we and Meiyan are both uneasy and kind, because when Wu Caishi is delivered to Bai Ziting, he will become a spiritually unified monarch. Fuyu also wanted to avoid him, and even surrendered to Baiziting under the pressure of the other six tribes of Mohe. But luck and misfortune, these five quarry stones have no effect on foreign tribes at all, and will only cause outsiders to join forces with Tuli. He didn't hesitate to snatch the five stones away. Bai Ziting also understands this truth, and will never be grateful to you for giving him the five stones. It's a pity that he won't accept this gift, let alone accept it. Right? " The three of them looked at each other, how could they expect such a complicated situation to be involved in obtaining a Wucai stone. No wonder Tuli gave up chasing Xieli immediately after knowing that they were going to send Wucaishi to Baiziting. Lie Xia continued: "The person we want to target is not Ziting but the 'crazy monk' Funanda. Since he worshiped Ziting and worshiped this person as the national teacher, he immediately banned religion and even ruthlessly killed the people I taught. Solely revering the Tianzhu cult. That’s why Daming Zun designated the Bohai Kingdom as a kingdom of darkness, and only by eliminating demons and demons can light prevail over darkness.” Ba Fenghan sighed: "Thank you brother Lie for telling me frankly, now we have to think about whether to give Wu Caishi to Baiziting or not." Lie Xia said: "This is of course decided by the three of you. If the five stones fall into the hands of Bai Ziting or others, it will not be of any benefit to Bai Ziting. But Yumeng wants to remind the three of you that Cui Wang actually belonged to Bai Ziting. People, are enemies and not friends with the three." The three of them felt dejected. Since its appearance, Lie Xia has always been in the lead, completely controlling the initiative. Kou Zhong took a deep breath and said, "You know our business." Lie Xia said: "Who doesn't have his own eyeliner in Shanhaiguan? If it weren't for robbery and fraud, how could the Baizi Pavilion, which is surrounded by strong neighbors, grow in power and build Longquan into a small Chang'an? If the three are willing to cooperate with me, it will be foolish." Bao everyone can not only get back 80,000 sheepskins, but also kill Cui Wang to save the world." After a pause, he continued: "A small five-quarry stone suddenly reversed the entire situation in the prairie. Although Jieli supported Baiziting to establish a country to lead Abaojia and Tuli, he did not want to see Baiziting. The unification of Mohe has become a strong enemy in the future, so Shen Mohuan secretly participated in the stone seizure operation. The funniest thing is that Xie Li worked so hard to invite Shang Xiufang, the number one talented woman in the Central Plains, to attend the founding ceremony for Bai Ziting, who is obsessed with Chinese culture. The performance has now evolved into only singing the song of her country's subjugation, and she is in vain to fool the admirers of this talented woman." Kou Zhong lost his voice: "What?" He couldn't help remembering to say goodbye to Shang Xiufang in Chang'an, because Dazhi and Shang Xiufang had a secret conversation behind closed doors, tired him waiting for the whole hour, and finally left impatiently, so it was because of this. When Xu Ziling saw Lie Xia mentioning Shang Xiufang, his eyes immediately shot out a look of longing for intoxication, so he asked on behalf of Kou Zhong: "Why is Shang Xiufang willing to travel so far?" Lie Xia shook her head and said: "The talented woman has always been fascinated by the skills of the tribes outside the Great Wall. Since Jie Li promised to fulfill her wish, she certainly would not miss this opportunity. I wish I could fly to her with wings on my back and see her Immortal appearance, listen to immortal voice, if you can kiss Xiangze, what a pity to die." The three of them stared blankly at him, speechless.He thought to himself that this might be the version of the amorous young man outside the Great Wall, but it is much more terrifying. Facing this unfathomable Uighur expert, Kou Zhong knew that what he said was true.It is all because she remembered that when she had a banquet with Shang Xiufang in Luoyang in the past, when she was full of praise for the innovative and lively dance music outside the Great Wall, and because she remembered Linglongjiao, she thought of the country of Kucha, which is famous for its music and dance. Opportunity must go there to see.At this moment, even the direction of Kucha is still unknown. Lie Xia suddenly recovered, and said calmly: "The split between Tuli and Xieli has caused drastic changes in the situation in the Northeast. Except for Mohe, brothers A Baojia and Belgunatei both have the heart to unify Khitan and Shiwei. Who can take advantage of this opportunity?" If you rise up, you can expand outward, and keep the inside and fight against the outside, so no one wants to see the neighboring countries become stronger. Isn’t this a competition to fight for the unification, and it hasn’t been so lively for a long time.” Ba Fenghan said: "Bai Ziting has become the target of public criticism, the situation is quite bad." Lie Xia shook his head and said: "Bai Ziting is actually the most visionary and talented leader in Northeast China. He pretends to build Little Chang'an because he admires the culture of the Central Plains, but in essence he is fighting against neighboring countries, replacing the plains with defending the city. Field battle. The Khitan Ping attacked Longquan three times, all of which failed. He was able to defend and then attack. What's more, Bai Ziting has the full support of the King of Korea, otherwise why would the neighboring countries join forces to attack him." Kou Zhong suppressed the annoyance caused by Shang Xiufang in his heart, and said: "Brother Lie's proposal of cooperation, we have to think about it." Lie Xia smiled and said: "Of course. The three of you, please rest here. If you have any requirements, you can tell Kele Daming. However, it is not appropriate to think about it for a long time. You must take the initiative and act first to be strong, and take advantage of the enemy's alliance. Destroy them one by one. The biggest function of Yumeng is that he has a wide eye, and he knows the enemy's situation like the palm of his hand." Kou Zhong couldn't help but asked, "Have Shang Cainv arrived in Little Chang'an?" Lie Xia's eyes lit up again and said: "It's still on the way. She is escorted by Da Zhiqin and led a master to visit the Turpan countries in the Western Regions, especially the Kucha Jihan culture, the prairie culture, Persia and Tianzhu. It is a collection of cultures. Its music and dance are unparalleled in the world, and it is a must-visit place for talented women." Although he said it casually, he has already seen that Lie Xia has a good sense and insight, which is different from the common customs. Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling never thought that they would meet such a person outside the Great Wall, and he was the head of the Five Mingzis taught by Daming Zunjiao. Ba Fenghan said: "What kind of person is Mrs. Meiyan? How did Wu Caishi fall into her hands?" Lie Xia said distressedly: "We still don't know how she is alone and what her purpose is. Wu Caishi was originally stored in A Baojia's tooth tent, but it was stolen five years ago and disappeared. In the hands of Meiyan. When she was handed over to the three elder brothers in public in Tongwan, it attracted everyone's attention and caused an uproar." Xu Ziling made up his mind not to cooperate with this person, so he took the opportunity to ask: "Brother Lie doesn't know her, why do you gnash your teeth when you talk about her?" Lie Xia smiled bitterly and said: "To be honest, Yu Meng has always been interested in women. Although he can't say that he is invincible, he can always gain something. But when I met her, I was teased repeatedly, which made me angry. Three Please don't misunderstand me, I never use force on women, what is obtained by force is not interesting at all. Ha! It's getting farther and farther away!" Ba Fenghan raised his glass and said: "Frankly speaking, until now Ba has not figured out whether Brother Lie is an enemy or a friend, but no matter what, let's respect Brother Lie first, because if he is an enemy, it will be a rare opportunity to let go." Lie Xia raised his glass and laughed loudly: "Brother Ba speaks quickly, I feel happy today, let's have a drink, tonight will never be an ordinary night, so I wish the three big brothers a successful start and a powerful shock on the prairie." Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling raised their glasses with pride. Before the cups were touched, the sound of footsteps suddenly sounded, and a large number of soldiers appeared in the backyard, rushing towards the earthen platform. The four of them clinked glasses without looking at each other. Dozens of Khitan warriors poured out from the gate of the backyard like a tide, each occupying a favorable position, forming a semi-circular formation, everyone drew their bows and set up arrows, and aimed at the three of them from a distance of two feet. Ba Fenghan dropped the wine glass to the ground with one hand, making a shattering sound, wiped the wine stains from the corner of his mouth with the other hand, and said with a dumb smile, "Why wait until tonight, this evening is already very interesting." Xu Ziling ignored the threat of the fifty strong bows and arrows, and looked at the red sun descending to the horizon, but his mind fell on the five stones in his pocket. Is this treasure to be given or not? If Bai Ziting had something to do with wolf robbers, of course his death would not be a pity.It's just that if you harm civilians, you can't bear it. Kou Zhong looked at the enemy line with murderous intent in his eyes, slowly put down his wine glass, and shouted: "Who is here?" The Khitan warrior moved aside, Brother Ku stepped down to the front of the formation surrounded by more than a dozen masters, his eyes shot out deep hatred, and he said fiercely: "Kou Zhong, have you ever thought about today?" Kou Zhong laughed loudly and said, "This is exactly what my younger brother wants to tell you." Lie Xia turned around and smiled at Brother Ku, "Prince, please look behind you before making a move." Kuge's expression changed and he went to the back reef, more than a dozen Huihe people appeared on the roof of the backyard, the leader was Kele Daming, holding a strong bend, all aimed at Kuge. When they broke into the shop just now, all the people in the shop scattered like birds and beasts, how did they expect to suddenly become a serious threat to them condescending. Lie Xia calmly said: "How does the prince compare with Jieli's 40,000 golden wolf army? Why don't you sit down and eat roasted fish together? The so-called enemies should be resolved rather than tied!" Brother Ku's face became as ugly as it was.
