Chapter 27 Chapter 27 Finished
Yeshi is located in the west of Baibao City and Jintang City, close to Hengshan Mountain and facing Baiyu Mountain in the north.Every time the Xia people attacked Yanzhou, they would go out from Helanyuan in Baiyu Mountain, pass through Yeshi, or divide their troops to the north to fetch Tumen, or go straight east to attack the security army of the Song Dynasty.
If White Leopard City and Jintang City are the sharp blades for the Xia people to attack the Song Dynasty, then Ye City is undoubtedly the handle of the sharp blades.
Because of the White Leopard City and Jintang City in the front, Ye City has been operating for many years, and it is extremely stable and prosperous.In terms of the scale of the transaction, it has already far surpassed the market in the border areas of the Song Dynasty.Therefore, after the war between Xixia and Song Dynasty, although the market business was cut off, the prosperity here is still there, attracting merchants from all over the world.
The busiest street in Ye City is called Ye Luo.
Those who can manage here can be said to be licking blood all day long, and they are very sturdy.Yuan Hao was fond of martial arts, and he couldn't help those who traded here to use martial arts. Therefore, people who died on this long street were as common as fallen leaves.
The sound of horseshoes was as urgent as a shower, breaking through the bustling Yeluo Street. At the end of the long street, a group of cavalry suddenly galloped out. Although there were only a dozen of them, the galloping momentum of the horses was like a thousand troops.
Seeing this, the businessmen on both sides of the long street stood silently on both sides, not daring to do business. Judging by their expressions, even if they saw ghosts during the day, they would not be so terrified.
It wasn't a ghost that came, but Yeshi Tuanlian Baowangluo.
Everyone knows that Baowangluo is not happy recently. In the past few months, the three Gubai bears were killed at the same time.
All the troubles are because of one person, that person is called Di Qing!
Bao Wangluo was not afraid of Di Qing, he just wanted to find Di Qing, have a hearty fight, and relieve his grievances.However, as a Yeshi regiment trainer, he couldn't leave lightly, he could only vent his anger on others.
Bao Wangluo followed behind a dozen of his subordinates, each of them dragged a Song man behind their horses.Those people were dragged all the way, exhausted from running, and some of them stumbled and fell down.Once you fall down, there is no possibility of getting up again.
The common people have long been accustomed to it.
Whenever party members lose a battle or get angry, they will play this trick, which is called "killing ghosts and calling back souls".According to legend, this method can sharpen courage and bless the next battle.
When Baowangluo reached the middle of the long street, he reined in his horse abruptly. A dozen or so of his subordinates also reined in their horses together. A few Song people were still running hard. When the horse stopped, they were thrown out and fell heavily. On Qingshi Street, most of them were smashed to pieces.
But among those Song people, there was still one person who struggled to stand up and wanted to run for his life.Don't want to fly an arrow, pierced his vest, and nailed him to the dirt wall.
A smear of bright red blood flowed down the earthen wall, which was shocking.Bao Wangluo held a bow and arrow, his eyes were red, and he didn't look like he had killed enough.With a sharp look, people on both sides of the long street lowered their heads.With a sinister smile on the corner of Bao Wangluo's mouth, he shouted: "Whoever tells me where Di Qing is, I will reward him with a hundred taels of silver. Whoever dares to help Di Qing, I will kill him!"
No one answered.Bao Wangluo was still waiting to roar, when a fast horse galloped across the long street, judging from its outfit, it was Xia Bing's attire.The man shouted: "Master Tuan Lian, the prince wants you to go to Tonghua Tower immediately."
There is only one prince here, and that is Wang Yeli Yuqi, one of the nine kings of the Dragon Division!
There are nine kings of the Dragon Department and eight Xeons.The sky is boundless, and the mountains guard the frontier!
Among the five armies of the Xia Army, the iron kites in the cavalry and the Shanye Army in Hengshan are the sharpest.Wang Yeli of Tiandu had been guarding Hengshan for many years, even if Yuan Hao saw him, he would give some face. No matter how arrogant Baowangluo was, he would not dare to be negligent when he heard that Ye Liyu was begging. "Okay, I'll go right away." Tonghualou is the largest restaurant in Yeshi, and Baowangluo secretly thought that Ye Liyu begged him to go there, probably to discuss the attack on Dashun City.
The horse has arrived in front of Baowangluo.
Bao Wangluo suddenly had heart palpitations, sensed something was wrong, and sternly shouted: "Who are you?" He suddenly discovered that the soldier was just dressed like an ordinary Xia soldier in Ye Shi, not Ye Li Yuqi's personal soldier.
If it wasn't for Ye Li Yuqi's personal soldiers, how could he be sent out to summon him?
The knight on the horse said in a low voice: "This is... the badge of the prince..." He spoke intermittently, and when he stretched out his hand, there was a token on his palm, which was shining golden.
Bao Wangluo looked intently, unable to understand what it was.
Suddenly, a cold light shot out from the man's cuff and went straight to Baowangluo's throat!
Everyone shouted, they didn't want the knight to be an assassin.Changing his elbow and armpit, Baowangluo tried his best to dodge to the left amidst the strange cry.The assassin hit with the hidden weapon in a hurry, but Bao Wangluo avoided the sure-kill blow with his agility.
But just after the assassin's hidden weapon was released, he had already risen into the air, swung his arm violently, and cut Baowangluo's throat with just the shiny golden token in his hand.
Bao Wangluo fell off his horse, staring at the assassin's face like a dead fish.Until now, he still didn't understand why the man wanted to kill him.Bao Wangluo only saw the ashes-like face of his opponent.
The man turned over in the air and had already mounted Baowangluo's horse, shouting loudly: "The murderer——Di Qing!"
Everyone on Changjie heard the word "Di Qing" and exclaimed in horror.
The man shouted loudly, galloped forward, and rode Juechen.Only then did Baowangluo's guards come to their senses, and they drove their horses to give chase. Unexpectedly, two people rushed out from the left and right sides of the long street in front of them, and they bumped into the giant horizontal tree.
The mouth of the giant wooden bowl is several feet long and thick, and when it is turned across, it has blocked the long street.
Amidst the wild roar, the horse neighed miserably, and its limbs were broken by the giant tree.The guards couldn't dodge in time and fell off their horses one after another.
One of the guards was quite skilled, and before he could stand up, he saw a big fist hitting him. There was a loud "bang", and amidst the screams of the guard, he was punched and flew out.
The guard was in the air, spurting blood wildly, and only saw one person with blood on his fist and a smile on his mouth, and said softly: "I...is Di Qing!"
Fallen Leaf Street was in chaos, and when the guard passed out, he still couldn't figure out why Di Qing appeared again?
The four people holding the giant tree killed several people in a row, stopped the pursuit, and dodged into the nearby shops one after another, but disappeared.At this time, the warning horns blared on the long street, and there was chaos everywhere.
When Tuoba Moke walked out of the mansion quickly, he heard the horn beeping, and he didn't know what happened.He was originally the supervisor of the Jianing Military Division, and was ordered to come to Yeshi from Yuzhou across Hengshan, ready to attack Dashun City at any time.
Yeli Yuqi had just sent an order, ordering him to rush to Tonghua Tower.
Tuoba Moke heard the prince's call, he didn't dare to be negligent, he ordered his men to prepare chariots and horses, when he arrived outside the mansion, the twelve warriors around him were already ready for orders, with solemn expressions.
The twelve warriors poked there like javelins, cold and calm.
Tuoba Moke was very satisfied, knowing that wherever these twelve warriors went, they were all qualified to lead the army.With the guards of these people, he can rest easy.Anyone who wants to defeat these warriors and rush in front of him will have to pay a painful price. What's more, even if someone rushes past the defense of those warriors, they will not be able to stop Tuoba Moke's giant axe.
Tuoba Moke, as the supervisor of the army, was invincible in bravery, with a giant axe, he did not know how many people died.
In the distance, the trombone sounded non-stop, as if an enemy was coming, when Tuoba Moke reached the horse, he frowned, thinking that Baowangluo was sitting here, if something happened, why didn't he come to find out Will you?
Tuoba Moke didn't think much about it, thinking that this is Yeshi, even if there were enemies, there would not be too many people; even if there were enemies, Baowangluo would definitely be able to handle it.Tuoba Moke got on his horse and, surrounded by twelve warriors, walked along Qingshi Long Street in the direction of Tonghua Building.
The horse neighed softly, and when Tuoba Moke was thinking about the intention of the Heavenly Capital King, he felt the breeze rippling.Looking up, I saw that the trees were quite green.
It turns out that spring has arrived.
Tuoba Moke didn't wait to think about it, he saw a fallen leaf suddenly falling from a tall tree, covering the sun, and flying towards him.Tuoba Moke was startled, and then realized that it was not a fallen leaf, but a person!
A man in gray.
The man was dressed in the same color as a dead tree, and had been climbing on the tree. If he didn't pay attention, he would think it was a dead branch.The man passed Tuoba Moke's guard in a blink of an eye, and had already reached the top of Tuoba Moke's head.
Tuoba Moke was shocked and shouted: "Catch him."
The twelve warriors shouted again and again, rushing towards Tuoba Moke one after another.But the man descended from the sky, bypassing the guards, and the twelve warriors were out of reach for a while.
Seeing that the man had reached the top of his head, Tuoba Moke yelled angrily, and swung his ax to strike.The giant ax was extremely heavy, weighing fifty to sixty catties. When the ax fell down, even a stone could be chopped in half by him.
But it is difficult to cut off the water with a knife, and it is difficult to overcome softness with a giant axe.The person in the air was like a leaf, just swayed away from the giant axe.Raising his hand, a large net suddenly opened, unexpectedly covering Tuoba Moke in the net.
Tuoba Moke has experienced many battles, but he has never experienced this kind of trick.Amidst the shouts, those who had been restrained by the big net could not move.At this time, a cold light flashed, a short blade passed through the net, and stuck in Tuoba Moke's chest.
Tuoba Moke bulged his eyes and hissed angrily, "Who are you?"
The man kicked Tuoba Moke off, stood on the horseback, and said coldly: "I am Di Qing!"
Before he finished speaking, the man flipped his wrist, and a rope flew out and hung on the wall.With the help of the rope, he stood up vertically and climbed onto the high wall.The rope in his hand flew again, entangled with the branches, and rose lightly, swinging far away.
The twelve warriors were stunned, not believing that such skills existed in the world.
Tuoba Moke's death, the twelve warriors cannot be exempted from responsibility, thinking of this, all the warriors bit their bullets and chased after him.Just after crossing the street, I saw a dozen people rushing towards the corner of the alley.All of them held short guns and stabbed them sharply.
Those twelve warriors were caught off guard, half of them were pinned down, and the rest of them shouted and retreated one after another.Those people with short guns did not chase after them, their figures flickered, and they had already hidden in the alley and disappeared.
I don't know how long it took until a brave man had the courage to look, and there were no traces of people in the alley.On the white wall in the alley, there are a few bright red blood characters painted on it - murderer, Di Qing!
Killer Di Qing!Di Qing came to Yeshi!
The news was transmitted like the wind, and it sounded like thunder. It only took half a day, and it had already spread throughout the entire Ye City.
Di Qing was so powerful in the northwest, he made a big disturbance in the Xingqing Mansion, and even killed Yumen Pass, but the Xia people had nothing to do with him.
Di Qingxie attacked the White Leopard City, killed the three bears, and slashed the sword in front of the Jintang City. No one dared to go out of the city to fight.
Di Qing defended Dashun City, fought five battles for several months, beheaded seven generals, and defeated the enemy coming from Yeshi.
During these days, Di Qing's name has long been spread throughout the Northwest, and it is in full swing.
The great victory of Xia Jun Sanchuankou seems to be unable to hide the brilliance of Di Qing.
The name Di Qing, in the hearts of Xixia people, has become more and more heavy and mysterious.Everyone has heard of Di Qing, but very few have seen Di Qing.Some people say that he is like a tree facing the wind, some say that he has a blue face and fangs, some say that he is about ten feet tall... Everyone's version is very different.
And there are as many as three or four versions of Di Qing that have been passed on to Ye Li Yuqi.
It was dusk, Yeli Yuqi was in Tonghua Tower.
Ye Li Yuqi did send an order for Yeshi's generals to come, but an hour after the order was sent, only three of the seven summoned arrived.
If you don't listen to the order of the King of Heavenly Capital, there is only one consequence, and that is death!
But the four people who didn't listen to the order obviously didn't have to be afraid, and after another hour, they were carried in sideways, and the four people were dead.
There was panic and disbelief in everyone's eyes, of course they didn't believe that someone would kill them in Yeshi.
Among the corpses were Yeshi Tuanlian Baowangluo, Jianing Army Commander Tuoba Moke, and the other two, who were dressed luxuriously and were obviously important people in Yeshi.
Ye Li Yuqi sat in a high position, looked at the four corpses indifferently and asked, "Coach, can you find out who the murderer is?" The face is like Tiandu Mountain, with peaks and valleys, which is very strange.
But no one dared to laugh at him, no one even dared to look at him.Everyone knows that Ye Li Yuqi is cruel by nature, and since Ye Li Wangrong's death, he has become even more gloomy and cold.If even half a word offends Ye Liyu beggar, maybe he will be murdered.
It was a vassal on the left that Ye Liyu begged.The feudal man had a sturdy figure and a sallow complexion. Hearing the words, he said in a condescending way: "The lowly position is under investigation. The murderer... seems to be Di Qing."
"Looks like?" Yeli Yuqi smiled, and asked lightly, "You seem to be dying too?"
It was already cold, but the coach kept sweating and said in a trembling voice: "The murderer is Di Qing!"
Ye Liyu sighed and said: "I heard that these four people died almost at the same time, some in the east of Yeshi, and some in the west. Di Qing is so powerful that he can kill people everywhere?"
The coach wiped his sweat and said, "Then it's not Di Qing."
Ye Liyu sneered and laughed: "Am I asking you to catch a thief? Or asking you to guess riddles? You are tired, it's time for you to rest. Su Shi... dragged the coach out and chopped it down!" When the voice fell, one person Cong Yeli Yuqi flashed out from behind and grabbed the coach envoy.
Standing out, the face of the man was as sharp as a knife, and the black clothes on his body were cut perfectly, making his body as straight as a spear.Everyone recognizes that this person is Yeli Yuqi's close bodyguard Su Chiangang.
The coach was considered burly, but he didn't know whether it was because of fear, or because he couldn't resist at all, but was caught by Su Chiang like he was grabbing a chick.
When the coach was dragged out, he screamed: "My lord, I have been wronged by my humble position. I just ask you to give me another chance."
Ye Liyu begged without saying a word, no one dared to speak out, for fear of getting into trouble.
After a while, Su Chiang brought a tray into the corridor: "My lord, please check." There was a bloody human head on the tray, which was the head of the trainer.
Everyone thought that they were still a fresh person just now, and in a blink of an eye there was only a head left, and they couldn't help feeling sick in their stomachs.But in front of Ye Li Yuqi, how dare they vomit?
Ye Liyuqi looked at the head, and suddenly pointed to a person not far away: "What official position do you have now?"
The person accused said with a trembling voice: "The lowly position is the military guard." The position of the coach envoy is below the military envoy, and the guard is lower than the coach envoy.
Ye Li Yuqi said indifferently: "You are Ye Shi's coach now, responsible for arresting criminals. Go."
The guard was both surprised and happy, happy that he was promoted inexplicably, and surprised that if he couldn't find the murderer, would he end up in the same end as the coach just now.But at this moment there was no choice, the servant rushed downstairs, shouted at the men, and began to hunt down the murderer with all his strength in Yeshi.
Ye Liyuqi raised his glass and said, "Come... drink."
There were only three people sitting next to him, all of them looked ashen, and they all raised their wine glasses and said, "Thank you, my lord."
Ye Liyu begged after drinking a glass of wine, and asked, "Pochao Inspector, what's the news from the Qun Mu Si?" Xia Guo Qun Mu Si is mainly responsible for the supply of horses, and Po Chao Chao Shi is in the Qun Mu Si and is currently in charge of war horses. deployment thing.
Pochao Inspector was short in stature and dark in complexion. Hearing this, he stood up and said, "My lord, after sunset, two thousand war horses will be sent to Yeshi."
Ye Liyuqi nodded, and asked, "Du Ya, how is the distribution of the troops going?" Xia Guodu Ya Ya and the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty had similar responsibilities, and the master was in charge of gathering troops.
Du Ya's expression was as cold as ice, and he said in a deep voice: "The military order has been passed on, and tomorrow we can gather more than ten thousand soldiers and horses."
All the people of Xixia are soldiers, and the local troops are sent out under the command of the local tribal leaders.The soldiers of a tribe are called Yiliu.When the military order is issued, all tribes must respond, and if they do not follow, they will be punished severely.
In this way, the burden on the Xia people was far lighter than that of the Song court, and the speed of entanglement in troops was far faster than that of the Song army.
Ye Liyu begged and Duya replied neatly, nodded in satisfaction and said, "You guys have worked hard."
The two said in unison: "The humble job is where the duty lies."
Ye Liyuqi said indifferently: "But some people can't even do their duty well." He squinted at the third person who started, and asked softly, "The envoy of the feudal clan has been transported, the horses have been transported, and the people have gathered. Are you ready to win?"
Fan Luo Envoy was surprised and said: "My lord, right now Di Qing is in Luan Ye City, do we really want to send troops to attack Dashun City?"After Yuan Hao established the country, he set up twelve supervising army divisions in various key places in the Xia territory, guarded by the capital commanding army.Under the commanding army of the capital, there was also an envoy of the feudal clan, and Du Yaya was in charge of commanding and gathering all the troops and horses for the Xia people to send troops as soon as possible.
In the Battle of Sanchuankou that year, Yuan Hao was able to quickly gather 150,000 cavalry to invade the Song Dynasty, thanks to this troop deployment strategy.
This vassal envoy, whose real name is Tuoba Shouxian, is already the supreme commander near Yeshi.
Ye Liyu begged, "Do you know why Di Qing made trouble in Yeshi?"
Tuoba Shouxian shook his head and said, "I don't know."
Ye Li Yuqi sneered and said: "Fan Zhongyan built Dashun City, and he has already stabbed the knife to the Xia territory. The northwestern frontier defense of the Song Dynasty is messy, and it is difficult to gather an army, so Dashun City is guarded by only one or two thousand people at most. Fan Zhongyan knows me. It is absolutely unbearable to have such a city standing in front of us, and he also knows that I will definitely send troops in large numbers. He understands that Dashun City is difficult to defend, so he asked Di Qing to come over to make trouble. Their purpose is to not want us to send troops. In this case, we just want to send troops!"
Tuoba Shouxian was startled and admired: "My lord has an extraordinary mind, I think Fan Zhongyan is far inferior to him. I'm an official...although I'm not sure of winning, but I will never disappoint my lord's high hopes."
Ye Li Yuqi snorted coldly, stared at the wine glass and murmured silently, thinking to himself, "Brother was killed for rebellion, Wu Zu has been very indifferent to me recently, I am afraid he has doubts about me. This time I will lead troops to attack the big brother." Shuncheng must succeed, otherwise..." Otherwise, he dared not think about it.
Ye Liyuqi was silent, and everyone dared not speak too much.
The night is coming, the wine is cold and the wind is cold.
At the beginning of the day when the lights came on, looking from the Tonghua Tower, one could only see the long street lit up like stars, but under the starlight, there was a deathly silence.
There are many murders in Ye City today, even the merchants who want to buy and sell have already returned to their houses and closed their doors.
Since Tuoba Shouxian came to Tonghua Tower, he didn't dare to breathe too much. He only drank a few glasses of cold wine, cold and hungry, and said cautiously: "My lord, it's late at night. They are responsible for arresting Di Qing." The lord has worked hard all day, so he should rest earlier. What if..." Seeing Ye Li Yuqi's unkind expression, he finally dared not speak any more.
Ye Li Yuqi squinted his eyes, "What if?"
Tuoba Shouxian boldly said: "In case Di Qing comes to assassinate, the prince is rich and expensive, how can he not be careful?"
"Bold!" Su Qiang shouted: "How can the prince be afraid of Di Qing? The prince is here to let the people in Yeshi see that Di Qing is just a coward."
Tuoba Shouxian was dissatisfied in his heart, thinking that you are just the guard next to the prince, how can you yell at me?It can be seen that Ye Liyuqi didn't say a word, Tuoba Shouxian felt hairy and said with a smile: "Your official understands. It turns out that the prince is here, just waiting for Di Qing to come! If he doesn't come, he is just a coward. , if he comes, can he still escape the palm of the prince?"
The more he thought about it, the more he was right, and he even admired himself a little.
Yeli Yuqi suddenly said, "I'm hungry."
Tuoba Shouxian was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't know how to answer for a long time.Ye Liyu begged: "You are so smart, don't you know that you have to eat when you are hungry?"
Tuoba Shouxian finally came to his senses, and hurriedly shouted: "Hurry up and serve the food, the prince is hungry." Before he finished speaking, there were footsteps on the stairs, and Tuoba Shouxian thought, "Why are the dishes served so quickly? ? " Su's face changed slightly, and he had already flashed in front of Ye Li Yuqi, with a wary look on his face.Someone went upstairs without a report!
Hearing people's footsteps, walking slowly, definitely not guards, how dare the guards be so negligent?But if it wasn't for the guards, could it be an assassin who came in?
But if it was an assassin, how could he leave so calmly?
Su Chi couldn't figure it out, he pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword, his eyes showed murderous intent.No matter who the visitor is, he will protect the King of Tiandu as the most important thing!
When everyone saw that Su was nervous, they couldn't help but change their colors in shock, and stood up one after another.
Only Ye Li Yuqi's expression remained unchanged, and he said slowly: "Back off."
Su was stunned for a moment, but he didn't dare to go against the will of the Heavenly Capital King, and stepped aside, still with all his strength, staring at him.
At the stairway, one person finally appeared.
The man was neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin, and his clothes were simple to the point of shabby.It was cold spring, but the man was only wearing a long gown.His face was rosy, and the corners of his mouth were half-smile.The most strange thing is that his face is very young, but his eyes are very vicissitudes.This man was standing there, but no one could tell his age.
Su Chian let go of the hand holding the sword, and took half a step back, with a look of fright in his eyes.Just now he murdered and took the head without blinking his eyelids. It can be seen that seeing this peaceful person, for some reason, his hands trembled a little.
The peaceful man squinted at Su Shi, with a smile still on the corner of his mouth, turned to look at Ye Liyu and said: "I'm here."
Ye Liyuqi held the wine glass, frowned and said, "What are you doing here?"
The man smiled and said, "Let me tell you a few things."
Ye Li met Qi Chongshan's face, which began to change and flow, as if covered by clouds, making people unable to see his intentions.
The man was still smiling, and was quietly waiting for Ye Liyuqi to reply.
Ye Liyuqi's eyes were full of vigilance, and he said, "Please sit down." He finally said "please" in this Tonghua building, but judging from his expression, he felt that it was a matter of course, this person deserves him to use the word please.
The man didn't give in, he sat down with a smile and said, "If you have wine but no food, you can't be considered a good host."
Ye Liyuqi slapped the table and shouted: "What about the food, why haven't they come yet?"
The food and wine came up like flowing water, but no one moved their chopsticks.The man glanced at the food and drink, then suddenly turned his head and said to Su: "Why are you afraid of me?"
Su Chiang's face was pale, and he forced a smile and said: "King Prajna was joking, I'm not afraid of you, I just respect you."
The man smiled and said nothing more.Governor Po Chao and Du Ya were shocked, they didn't expect this peaceful and smiling person to be one of the nine kings of the Dragon Division.
The person who came was the Prajna King!
There are nine kings of the Dragon Department and eight Xeons.Prajna enlightenment, wisdom is unparalleled!
Prajna in Sanskrit means wisdom.
Of course, everyone has heard the name of King Prajna, but few people have seen King Prajna.This person had seldom been active in the borderlands. I heard that King Prajna has been haunting the Fan Academy. Why did he come to Yeshi this time?
It's no wonder Yeli Yuqi also said please.
Seeing that the Prajna King was silent, Su Che seemed relieved.
Yeli Yuqi knew that among the nine kings of the Dragon Department recently, King Bodhi was killed by Di Qing, King Yeli committed suicide, and King Longye died in the battle at Sanchuankou.In the past, the two brothers Ye Li were the closest to Yuan Hao. Since Ye Li Wangrong's death, Ye Li Yuqi knew that Yuan Hao could no longer be intimate with the Ye Li family.
Right now, the one walking closest to Yuan Hao is this Prajna King.
Every time Yeli Yuqi thought of this, he felt uncomfortable. Seeing the Prajna King as if sitting in meditation, Yeli Yuqi finally couldn't help asking: "You said you came here, what do you want to tell me?"
Prajna King smiled unabated, "Di Qing made a big fuss in Yeshi and killed several of our leaders. Of course, the King of Tiandu was furious and wanted to sit on the sidelines and wait to see if Di Qing had the guts to kill you. The king's majesty is still undiminished, which is gratifying! Hey."
Ye Liyuqi's face sank like water, "In your opinion, would Di Qing dare to come?"
Prajna King smiled and said: "He seems to have never dared to do anything. According to our speculation later, the assassin who jumped from the beam of the Tianhe Temple was Di Qing. You think he even dared to assassinate Di Shitian. There are still people in this world Something he dare not do?"
This was an ordinary sentence, Ye Li Yuqi heard the words, his eyes narrowed, pondering the deep meaning.At the beginning of the Tianhe Palace rebellion, the leader was Yeli Yuqi's elder brother, and King Prajna brought up the old story again, so why did he come here?
Ye Liyuqi's mind was spinning, but he could still calmly say: "If he dares to come, when will he arrive?"
Prajna King squinted his eyes, suddenly looked at the waiter who brought the food, and said word by word: "Now!"
Yeli Yuqi's face has changed.
The murderous aura of Tonghua Building suddenly rose.
Everyone was attracted by the conversation between the two princes, and they all understood that King Prajna came here not to gossip, but no one would have imagined that there would be people who would dare to make a move in front of the two kings of the Dragon Department.
It was the guy who served the food who shot.
The guy brought a tray with a gleaming silver lid on it, and he didn't know whether it was steamed fish or steamed chicken.The King of Tiandu wanted to serve the dishes, so the boss of Tonghua Building was of course serving them non-stop. Some dishes were served as they were without being touched at all.
Of course, the dishes that the prince eats should not be cold, so it seems normal for some staff to change the dishes quietly.
But it was this normal guy who suddenly lifted the lid of the tray and took out the short knife.The light of the knife was shining, and it had overwhelmed the candlelight on the four walls.
That guy must be Di Qing!
Everyone thinks so, only Di Qing has the courage to sneak in here, only Di Qing dares to shine at this moment.Everyone thinks that what Di Qing wants to kill is Tiandu Wang Yeli Yuqi...
But in a blink of an eye, everyone was shocked, the assassin made a move and stabbed Prajna King in the throat.
The short sword dances alone, the sword will run rampant!
What the assassin wanted to kill was Prajna King!
Yeli Yuqi's face changed color with the brilliance of the knife, and there was also a hint of panic in his eyes.He should be glad that that person didn't kill him, and why was he frightened?
Prajna King's smile was still there, and suddenly there was a wine glass in his throat.The wine glass was originally on the table, and as soon as he reached out, he took it and blocked it against his throat.
The short knife stabbed the wine glass, with a ding sound, the wine glass shattered, and the knife paused slightly.The shattered tiles shot out suddenly without waiting for the fall, and went straight to the assassin's throat.The assassin's attack was sudden, but Prajna King's counterattack was even sharper.
In an instant, the assassin was in trouble.If he retreated, he would be surrounded on all sides, and the guards upstairs would rush over at the moment the assassin made his move.If he enters, he will touch the tile first.Porcelain pieces are like knives, with sharp whistles.
The assassin suddenly fell back and kicked the table.The table case rose suddenly, not only blocking the tiles, but also smashing the head of Prajna King.The bowls, chopsticks and porcelain plates on the table flew together, roaring out, no less than a flying knife.
Ye Li Yuqi's figure jumped, and he was already in the air.He was in the air, only heard the sound of "Bo", and saw the short knife flying through the table, and it was still King Prajna's throat.
When the assassin kicked the table, the short knife flew out of his hand, pierced the table, and still wanted to kill Prajna King.
Prajna King's smile froze, and he suddenly turned upside down.The short knife almost brushed his face and stabbed the beams of the restaurant.The blade was so cold and severe that it made him feel cold all over his body.
Upstairs rabbit ups and downs, everything is just in an instant.
When Ye Liyuqi saw King Prajna dodge the knife, he breathed out and shouted: "Grab him." He had already caught a glimpse of the assassin rushing out, and was about to run downstairs.He turned around in the air and flew away.
If you miss a single blow, you should retreat with your whole body, the assassin decisively left without staying.
Pochao Inspector was guarding the direction where the assassin was fleeing, he drew his sword and shouted: "Where..." Before he said "go", the single sword was already in the hands of the assassin.The light of the knife flashed, and Quichao fell to the ground, the light of the knife flashed again, and flew away, slashing at Ye Li Yuqi in mid-air.
When Ye Li meets Qi Yilin, he dodges to avoid it.Without waiting to chase, I heard a loud "boom" from the restaurant, flames were everywhere, and thick smoke billowed.Everyone was startled and noticed that the Tonghua Building was on the verge of falling and began to shake.
There was another loud noise, debris flew across, and the Tonghua Building collapsed.
Everyone yelled and yelled, no longer caring about catching the assassin, and jumped downstairs one after another.That Duya and several guards couldn't escape in time, and amidst the screams, they were actually buried in the building.
When Ye Liyuqi landed outside the building, the corners of his eyes were twitching, and the tip of his nose was already sweating.
The assassination came and went suddenly, the dust and smoke billowed, and the guards guarding outside the building surrounded one after another.For a while, the torches were like a forest, illuminating the outside of the building as if it were daytime.
Everyone was terrified, and seeing that the prince was fine, they breathed a sigh of relief.A person rushed over and asked, "Is the lord all right?" That person was also Ye Li Yuqi's personal bodyguard, and he only wanted to please Ye Li Yuqi, but he didn't want Ye Li Yuqi to suddenly pull out his waist knife.
The man was stunned, and he didn't wait to say anything, only to see the light of the knife in front of him, and he had already fallen down.Before he died, the man didn't understand why he offended the prince.
There is blood in the single sword, and there is no moon in the sky.The night is dark and windy.
After Ye Li encountered begging and beheaded a person, the fear in his eyes grew stronger.Everyone could see the panic in his eyes, the assassin has gone, why is he frightened?
Everyone was terrified, and one person smiled and said: "The move is quick, the knife is a good knife, but it is not as good as Wu Mie knife given by Wuzu."
There is only one person who can still laugh at this time, and that is the ordinary and harmonious Prajna King.King Prajna holds a knife in his hand, the light of the knife is immortal, and it shines brightly in the open fire in the dark night.
The knife is a precious knife, and it is also a knife used by assassins.
Prajna King was still laughing, as if the assassin was not going to kill him, but someone else.Here's where he shouldn't be smiling, but he seems to be laughing the most.
Ye Liyuqi's eyelids twitched a little, staring at the knife in Prajna King's hand, he fell silent.
The Prajna King said slowly: "Anarud, the original intention is indestructible. Anarud is also a disciple of Sakyamuni. This person is originally a cousin of Sakyamuni. After the Buddha, he guarded the night for the Buddha. Blind, but he is respected by Shi Zun, and he has cultivated his eyesight."
At this time, he suddenly mentioned a Buddhist allusion, which made others feel a little strange.Ye Li Yuqi's face gradually calmed down, and he only looked at the knife in his hand. The blood on the knife had already dripped, and the color of the knife was dim. This is just a sharp knife, not a good knife.
A good knife kills without blood...
"The king of Tiandu has been guarding Hengshan for many years. He is conscientious and conscientious. In terms of hard work, he is comparable to Anaru. It is because Wuzu gave the king of Tiandu Wu Mie a treasured sword to show his approval. This sword cuts iron like mud. It was also given by Wuzu. The capital king has always treated him like a treasure, and others cannot easily see..."
King Prajna spoke slowly, and everyone listened strangely. They couldn't understand why King Prajna didn't care about assassins, but only a precious sword.Prajna King was still smiling, but the smile was somewhat chilly in early spring in the dark night, "I'm very surprised, how could such a precious Wu Mie Dao be in the hands of an assassin?"
Everyone's expressions changed, and when they looked at the saber in Prajna King's hand, their expressions were different.
It turned out that the assassin was holding Wu Mie Dao!
The assassin took Ye Li Yuqi's Wu Mie Knife to the Tonghua Tower, but it was the Prajna King who was about to kill. The deep meaning in this is horrifying.
King Banruo continued: "Since the death of King Yeli, King Tiandu seems to have seldom returned to Xingqing Mansion. After seeing it, I can't help but wonder, would the king of Tiandu be dissatisfied with Wuzu's death of his brother, and want to contact Song Ren to rebel?"
Yeli Yuqi didn't even speak a word.When everyone saw this, they all felt awe-inspiring, and thought to themselves that the king of Tiandu was vicious and short-tempered, and now he is so silent, could it be that he really sent the assassin?
Prajna King smiled and said: "It stands to reason that there are many murderous intentions in Ye City today, and Di Qing's next goal is very simple, which is to assassinate the King of Tiandu, and completely cut off the idea of Xia Jun sending troops to attack Dashun City. But the strange thing is...he wants to kill The person in question is not the Heavenly Capital King, but me!"
Ye Li Yuqi said: "He may not be Di Qing, even if he attacks me, he may not be able to kill me."
King Prajna asked: "I'm just a little confused. I came here under the order of the soldiers. Before that, only the prince knew the news. Why did the assassin deal with me? Could it be that...someone knew that I was not good for him, so Arrange people to get rid of me in advance. The Tonghua Tower collapsed just now, preventing us from chasing the assassins. How could this be possible without careful planning? Afterwards, someone can blame Di Qing for everything?"
Everyone understood what King Prajna meant. Tonghua Building was destroyed for no reason. I am afraid that only Yeli Yuqi has the ability.
Words are like blades, wind blows fire and worries, outside Tonghua Building, it is so quiet that breathing can be heard...
Everyone was looking at Yeli Yuqi, waiting for his instruction.
After all, this is still the world of wild interests and beggars, and there are not a few people who follow him. As long as he gives orders, no matter how wise King Prajna is, he may be cloned by Chaos Blade.
Ye Li Yuqi just looked at the knife in his hand, his clothes trembled, and he didn't know if it was the wind or his heart...
Although Ye City is prosperous, it also has wasteland.Just as the sun shines brightly, it can also cast shadows.A few miles away from Yeluo Street, there is an abandoned garden, which was once extremely prosperous, but since the owner of the family was killed for offending Baowangluo, the garden has become a ghost garden.
The cold wind blows, whimpering like a ghost.People often die in Yeluo Street, and many people say that the souls of the dead gather in the abandoned garden, so no one dares to enter the garden even during the day.
In the middle of the night, the cold wind howled in the abandoned garden, and the dead leaves flew around, like countless ghosts carnival all night.
Under a big tree in the garden, stood a black shadow.In the cold wind with withered leaves, he remained still.Even if thousands of ghosts are carnival, that shadow is lonely.
Carnival is the loneliness of a group of people, but isn't loneliness also a carnival of one person?
Although the shadow was lonely, those eyes were bright and hot...
A few meows suddenly came from outside the garden, which was very sad.According to rumors, cats are also psychic beasts, and they can even see ghosts.The cat screamed, could it be because it saw a ghost?
The shadow just slapped his palm when he heard the cat meowing.
A black shadow floated up the high wall, flashing like a ghost.The black shadow under the tree was still motionless, just staring coldly at the person who came.
The black shadow slid down the high wall, looking around uncontrollably.
The man under the tree said: "There is no one else here except me."
The person who came up said with a smile: "It is said that Di Qing is as bold as the sky, seeing him today, he really deserves his reputation."
The man under the tree was Di Qing.Di Qing's eyes sparkled, staring at the man in front of him.The night was dark and windy, and the man was wearing a blindfold, making it difficult to see his face clearly.
Di Qing could only see the man's straight body like a spear, and his clothes were well cut.
The man coughed lightly, "Today's work was very successful."
Di Qing said "Oh", and replied: "Don't worry, what Zhong Shiheng promised you will definitely be done. How is Yeli Yuqi now?"
那人舒了口气，低声道：“般若王中计了，他开始怀疑起野利遇乞。这次野利遇乞纵有十张嘴，只怕也解释不清。再说前段时间，因野利旺荣叛逆，兀卒亦对野利遇乞有了戒心，恐怕也不会听他的解释。眼下般若王逼野利遇乞回返兴庆府，向兀卒交代一切。只要他离去，就是你们攻打横山的机会。”
那人语气中隐约有了分得意，但听他所言，显然与狄青并非一伙。
狄青点点头，眼神有了分古怪，突然沉声道：“你很好……我们攻打横山、再战宥州一事……”
那人并没有察觉到狄青的异样，急声道：“野利遇乞走了，我肯定也要跟随他离开。攻打横山的事情，和我无关。我来这里，只是要告诉你，这是我为你们做的最后一件事，你们莫要忘记自己的承诺。”
狄青长吸一口气，目光陡然变得如针尖般犀利，“你不用跟随他走了。”
那人一惊，失声道：“你要做什么？难道说……你们言而无信？”
“你不用跟随天都王走了，因为你哪里都不用去了！”一个声音从远处飘来。
那人遽然而惊，长枪般的身躯剧烈颤抖起来。
黑暗中走出一人，面带笑容，如闲庭信步般走到狄青身前不远处，止步道：“这位……就是赫赫有名的狄青狄将军吗？”
狄青瞳孔爆缩，还能沉静道：“般若王？”
来人正是龙部九王之一的般若王。
般若王点点头，微笑道：“狄青，我早听说过你的名字。一直想见你一面，可要见你，不是那么容易的事情。”
狄青目光从般若王移到蒙面人的身上，见蒙面人如风中落叶般的抖，缓缓道：“你现在不是见到了？”他表面平静，可早听出废园四周有细密的脚步声传来。
脚步声虽轻，但逃不过他的耳朵，在般若王现身的那一刻，最少已有百来人包围了废园。
狄青伊始觉得是细作出卖了他，可见到那细作的举止，就知道不是。显然……般若王并没有中计，中计的是他狄青。
“见你一面，真花了我不少功夫……”般若王还在笑，可目光如针，盯死了狄青的举动。
狄青已见过般若王的武功，知道平手交战，自己不见得胜不了他。但他眼下四面为敌，已失地势，更何况……般若王若没有上当，天都王当然也来了。
他以一己之力，如何能抗得住龙部两王、加上百来高手的围剿？
最要命的是，他的五士均已化整为零的撤离叶市，他是留在这里的最后一个人。他本来已决定，无论事成与否，他都必须要走。
他用无灭刀偷袭般若王，本是一计，嫁祸给野利遇乞的一计。种世衡收买细作偷了野利遇乞的无灭刀，他若能用无灭刀杀了般若王，野利遇乞百口莫辩。就算不能得手，般若王如何能放过野利遇乞？他能顺利逃走，得益于霹雳。李丁等人在狄青一发动进攻的时候，就动用了霹雳，毁了通化楼。
计划很是周详，但可惜的是，般若王比狄青想象中要聪明的多。
般若王见狄青不语，又道：“最近你们的消息得到的太快，我们数次攻击大顺城，都被你提前得到了消息，我们就有怀疑了，怀疑我们党项人中有了内奸！”他若有意若无意地看了眼蒙面人，蒙面人额头已有汗，般若王续道：“你这次一出手，就杀了叶市领军最要紧的四人，阻挠我们出兵攻击大顺城，当然是提前知道消息了。我一到这里，你就转而杀我，你心机很巧……”
不等般若王说下去，狄青已道：“你来叶市，不是为了野利遇乞，而是为了我，你早知道我会对叶市下手，对不对？”
般若王抚掌微笑道：“不错。”
狄青冷冷道：“你想杀我，但一直抓不住我。因此你故作中计，你当然知道，你们中已有了细作！你只要做戏逼天都王回兴庆府，那细作肯定会向我请功说明情况。通化楼倒塌，我虽逃了，但你并不急于抓我。你只要盯着细作，知道他必定会引你前来，因此你们就可以将计就计的围杀我，对不对？”
一人拍掌道：“聪明，狄青，你果然是个聪明的人。”那人走了过来，一步一个脚印，步步如山，来人正是天都王野利遇乞。
蒙面人更是哆嗦的厉害，恨不得化成一片枯叶飘去。
野利遇乞根本不望蒙面人，因为他的大敌是狄青，一百个蒙面人，也抵不过一个狄青。更何况，他早就知道蒙面人是谁！
“几日前，有人偷走了我的宝刀，我一直在想，他到底什么目的？现在事情简单了，原来你们要用宝刀诬陷我。幸运的是……这件事我已经提前告诉了兀卒。狄青，你很聪明，你知道就算蓄力一击，也不见得杀得了我，因此在知道般若王到来时，转而攻击他。你想让般若王以为，我有反心，你想挑拨我们自相残杀。”
狄青冷风伫立，半晌才道：“你现在不想杀般若王，不意味着以后不想。”
野利遇乞脸色微变，般若王已笑道：“狄青，你到现在，还不放弃挑拨之心吗？方才你猜的很多都对，只说错了一句话。”
“是哪句？”狄青问道。
般若王道：“你以为我们想杀你，那是大错大错。”
狄青嘲讽道：“你们不想杀我，布置百来人到这里捉鬼吗？”
般若王道：“我们不想杀你，可也不想放了你。你是我们需要认真对付的敌人。”他笑容仍在，语气真诚道：“兀卒已觉得，你是大夏最可怕的威胁。你很可能成为曹玮之后，对夏国最有威胁的一个宋将。但你受制于那些庸才，不能尽展所能，戴着镣铐作战，何其痛苦？”
狄青沉默无言，心中叹息。
般若王留意着狄青的表情，眼中发光道：“兀卒雄才伟略，任人唯能，志在一统天下，成王图霸业。狄青，你若投奔兀卒，我以人头担保，你可直升龙部九王之位，掌控党项千军万马，一展生平抱负，何其痛快？你眼下虽有范仲淹赏识，但宋廷已朽，范仲淹自身难保。范仲淹若倒，你还能再找个范仲淹吗？”
狄青轻叹口气道：“大宋只有一个范仲淹。”
般若王哈哈一笑，“说得好。你若明白这点，就应该过来帮手兀卒……不然……纵然武功盖世，还是和郭遵一样的下场。”
狄青听到郭遵的名字，霍然抬头，眼中已有怒火一样的颜色。
般若王自悔失言，暗想听说郭遵和狄青关系极好，自己本想举例，如今倒有些弄巧成拙。不等再说，狄青已一字字道：“大宋只有一个范仲淹，但大宋也只有一个狄青！”
般若王笑容已很淡，他听出了狄青的意思，缓缓道：“这里好手如云，夜叉部好手多半在此。你要想清楚，我们虽不想杀你，可绝不会放你回去！”
狄青微微一笑，“我何必回去？”
他言毕，已拔刀。
春风冷、相思浓，刀光起，斩不断风中情思，却斩得下大好的头颅。刀声清越，刀声如歌，单刀孤独，在凄凉的夜色中唱起如火的歌……
