There are two ways to go from Laizhou to Huining. One is to take Jinzhou, Baishan Heishui all the way up to Huining.
The other is to take the grassland, go straight up from Xingzhongfu, and then cross the grassland eastward to Huining.
Walking through the Baishan and Black Waters of Jinzhou is dangerous at this time, because all the land from Liaodong to the north is occupied by the Jin Kingdom. This road is long and constantly checked. Even if Zhao Tong now has the road guide opened by the Jin Kingdom, he does not want to take this road.
The road guide for the Kingdom of Jin was naturally sent by Yelu Dashi's spies in Huining Mansion. It is not uncommon for you to have me among you and you among me. Huining's spies had not even established the Jurchen country yet. It was already buried.
This is also the reason why Wanyan Xiyin has to carefully investigate outsiders. It is now difficult to find the former spies. Some spies have even married and had children in the Jin Kingdom, and even some have lived for several generations. It's possible, so we can only strictly investigate the current situation.
Going north to the grassland, Yelu Dashi escorted them all the way. Only after they bypassed Linhuang Mansion did Yelu Dashi plan to return.
Getting off the horse, he gave Zhao Tong a deep salute: "Please do everything to me, sir. My virtues will be engraved in my heart, and I will never forget them!"
Needless to say, be cautious all the way, be cautious all the way, that is all too false. If Wanyan Agu is killed, the first person to benefit is the Liao Kingdom, not the Song Dynasty. If Wanyan Agu cannot be beaten to death, and Zhao Yu cannot come back, the same people will benefit. Liao.
Because at this time, the Liao Kingdom could declare to the outside world that it was the Song Dynasty that assassinated the Jin Emperor, and Zhao Yu was no longer around. Naturally, Yelu Dashi could say whatever he wanted, and he would just reap the benefits.
After taking a deep look at the Yelu Dashi on the horse, Zhao Tao turned the horse's head and whipped his whip. The horse neighed and ran towards the east along the grassland.
Xiao Min turned around and looked at Yelu Dashi. Yelu Dashi forced a smile. Xiao Min bit her lip, turned around and rode away.
Seeing the horses in front of him gradually disappearing on the prairie, Yelu Dashi's face turned as dark as water. He clenched his fists and looked up at the sky.
The white clouds were fluttering in the sky, and you followed me, changing various shapes from time to time. Suddenly, he let out a long roar, which penetrated the gold and cracked the stone. The roar was full of sorrow and indignation.
Yes, he had no choice. As Zhao Tong said bluntly in his letter, Daliao could not last more than a few years under the attack of the Jin army. The destruction of the country was only a matter of time. There was no good strategy that could completely save the country. He could not think of a complete way to save the country. He also didn't believe that others could come up with it at will.
It's not that Yelu Dashi is arrogant, but that the world has been corrupted to the point of being irredeemable. The so-called powerlessness to recover is probably the case.
Assassinating Wanyan Aguda is the only one that is useful among all the strategies that can be thought of at the moment. It is the only way to try to break the situation. Other than that, there is no other good strategy.
Not to mention saving the country, but at least it can extend Daliao's life for a few more years, right? What if there are any changes in the past few years?
For people like him and Zhao Tong, their plans are no longer limited to one time and one place. Otherwise, why would Zhao Tong come all the way to find him, Yelu Dashi, Bailongyu Suit, and do such shocking things?
Don't you still have to make a plan in that unknown future and take the first step?
Yelu Dashi slowly looked back and looked at the two old guards who were originally following Xiao Min. The two old men looked very ugly and said nothing.
Yelu Dashi closed his eyes silently. Xiao Min and Xiao Ta don't smoke. Is it any difference who goes to Hui Ning? Is there really a difference?
Maybe, maybe not...
There are only two people close to him. Regardless of their identities, one is the only daughter of his mentor, and the other is his childhood sweetheart. No matter who gets into trouble, he will lose half of his life. Life is worse than death!
If he randomly found a third person to go to Huining, he believed that Zhao Tong would definitely run away overnight. If he wanted to assassinate Wanyan Aguda, he would probably attack him first.
The world is safe and sound, and I will live up to my family and my country, and I will not let you down!
Yelu Dashi sighed silently and looked at the two old men again. These two old men were the personal guards of their mentor when he was still alive, and they were the most trustworthy people.
The Eighteen Horsemen who traveled across western Liaoning back then were galloping like tigers and wolves, but now, there are only two left...
He felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart, filled with countless indignation, and even his breath gradually became unstable.
Suddenly, the corner of his mouth trembled, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he was teetering on the horse.
"Lin Ya!" The two old men were shocked and hurriedly came to help him.
Yelu Dashi stretched out his hand to grab the reins of the horse. His face was pale and he tried to stabilize his body. He slowly waved his other hand and said, "It's okay. Let's go and have a look at the master's grave. I haven't seen him for a long time..."
Zhao Tao rode a black horse and galloped forward for a long time before he slowed down a bit.
The horse is a good horse. Although it is not as good as the Zhaoye Jade Lion, it is still a good horse.
He had long since changed out of his original robes and put on a suit of Liao clothes. Even the bun on his head was pulled up into a common style in Liao areas, and there was no trace of Han people at all.
Behind him, Huang Gu and Ouyang Bei were dressed similarly. Zhao Tong smiled and said, "If I go back to the Song Dynasty, I'm afraid I'll have to wear a hat for a long time, otherwise I might be taken away as a Liao spy."
Ouyang Beidao: "Sir, this hair is pretty good. If it were the traditional Khitan hairstyle, I'm afraid it wouldn't grow out in a year and a half."
Zhao Tong thought for a while: "I wonder what the hair bun of the Bohai Kingdom looked like back then, and what kind of hairstyle Guo Yaoshi, the commander of the resentful army of the Bohai survivors, had."
Huang Gu said: "Sir, are there really descendants of the royal family in Bohai Kingdom?"
Zhao Tong said: "Of course there are some, but most of them are in Korea. They should be missing here."
Ouyang Beidao: "Then Wanyan Xiyin will understand these things?"
Zhao Tong smiled and said: "It has been nearly two hundred years. Before his daughter founded the Jin Kingdom, there were not even a few books in the village. Do you really think that he is omnipotent and omniscient? But this person has a lot of research on the culture of the Central Plains. It’s true, especially for Confucians. It is said that they usually wear Han clothes in the village, follow Han rules and act like Han family.”
Ouyang Bei wanted to say something more, but Xiao Min followed behind.
I saw that the young lady was wearing a green dress, and even the ribbons in her hair were all blue.
This was the first time Zhao Tong saw her wearing women's clothing. He left the room a long time before departure. Yan Yan couldn't wear any color with her skin color, so she ended up wearing Tsing Yi.
As for her appearance and face, she made some slight adjustments. It seems that the dark and pretty temperament is a little weaker, which is a little better than ordinary people, but the youthfulness is not reduced, and she looks energetic.
Zhao Tong frowned: "Black Thirteenth Mother, can't you hurry up!"
The young lady was furious when she heard this: "Don't call me that name!"
There was a slight smile on Zhao Tong's lips. He was the one who gave the name. At that time, he whispered to Yelu Dashi, and then he came up with the name and asked Yelu Dashi to write it quietly on the road guide.
It's not that he deliberately made things difficult for his little mother, but because of her temperament, he was afraid of giving her a fancy name. How could that be possible? When going to Huining, everything should be kept low-key, especially the name.
If there is a beauty in Tantai and a beautiful city in Nalan, this is not bad, but something is wrong at first glance!
Zhao Tong smiled and said: "Then we won't call her by this name. From now on we will just call her Thirteen Niang."
Due to her skin color, Xiao Min couldn't tell whether her face looked good or not. She just raised her thin eyebrows and looked at her wrists from time to time without saying anything. She couldn't see it on her face, but the color of her hands also changed. It can be seen from time to time.
Zhao Tong looked into the distance, where there seemed to be a small river flowing, and said, "Go to the river to rest for a while and discuss things."
No one had any objections. They rode their horses to the river and sat on the grass beside the Qingqing River. After drinking water and eating dry food, Zhao Tong looked at the three of them.
"This trip to Huining is a matter of life and death. I will say some things for the last time. After tonight and tomorrow, we will step into the golden land. From now on, we can't say it, speak it, hear it, or even think about it!"
Zhao Tong looked solemn and said slowly.
The three of them all nodded, and when it came to business matters, they were all very serious, and no one interrupted.
Zhao Tong continued: "I am Yuan Yi. You have also remembered the complicated things such as my identity. From now on, you can only call me Young Master. Thirteenth Niang can also call me Second Brother or Husband. But you must not call officials and husbands."
The young lady frowned. "Brother Xiangxiang" was how Khitan women called their husbands, while "husband husband" was modeled after the Tang Dynasty. Many people in the Liao Kingdom also called him the same name.
Zhao Tong looked at Huang Gu: "Gao Dugu, after the surname Bohai, is there anything you have forgotten?"
Huang Gu thought for a while and shook his head: "No."
Zhao Tong said to Ouyang Bei again: "Yang Buji, have you forgotten anything?"
Ouyang Bei also shook his head.
Finally, Zhao Tao's eyes fell on Xiao Min. He knew a little about Xiao Min's temperament. If Xiao Ta did not come, he would really be in a dilemma. Because he was not familiar with it, he could not work out some details, and sometimes the details It may determine success or failure, which is why his words inspired Xiao Min to take the initiative.
As for Yelu Dashi, so what if he could see it, wouldn't he also have no objection? Obviously either they think anyone can come, or they think Xiao Min is actually more suitable than Xiao Ta, who doesn’t smoke!
Yelu Dashi is the way to develop a hero. He may still be a hero now, but he may not have a long-term love for his children in the future.
In Zhao Tong's heart, Xiao Min is the most suitable for this role. If Xiao Ta Buyan is as intelligent and enlightened as he said, it would be bad to be calm and steady. If his nature is like this, no matter how smart he is, some things will not look like him when he pretends to be. The more he wants to act The more perfect you are, the more craftsmanship you have.
As for the young lady, does the young lady need to act?
Zhao Tong looked at Xiao Min, with a solemn expression and said slowly: "Black Thirteenth Niang, Yuan Yi's wife, Yuan Yi usually calls Thirteenth Niang, and when he is in a good mood, he calls Thirteenth Sister."
Xiao Min nodded, and Zhao Tong added: "The Thirteenth Mother calls Yuan Yi husband, husband. When she is in a good mood, she will call her second brother, and when she is in a bad mood, she will call her..."
Zhao Tie paused at this point, and Xiao Min said: "I remember, when I'm in a bad mood, I will get angry, make noise, act like a girl, and call Yuan Yi..."
At this point, she couldn't help but froze, looked at Zhao Tao, blinked her eyes, and a look of sullenness appeared on her face: "Yuanjiro, what do you mean? You asked me to act these... these unladylike words and deeds, what do you mean? ?”
Zhao Tong clapped his hands and said: "Wonderful, Thirteen Niang's performance is so good, just like the original, there doesn't seem to be any fraud. It is indeed a hundred times better than Xiao Ta Bu Yan Lai!"
The little girl didn't know what he meant at this moment, so she twisted her face, feeling secretly resentful in her heart.
Zhao Tong added: "If everything goes well, Wanyan Xiyin will definitely observe secretly after we pass. It will be awkward to be in the same room..."
The young lady clenched the corner of her clothes hard. She was angry at Xiao Ta for not smoking, and hurriedly invited Ying to come. She had not thought about it at all, but now that she thought about it, she was already riding a tiger.
But this is a major military and national matter, how can you just go back on your word? Thinking about the current situation in Daliao, Lin Ya's usually frowning eyebrows made the girl's hand holding the corner of her clothes even harder.
Zhao Tong added: "In order to avoid embarrassment when the time comes, and your words and deeds will reveal your flaws and lead to a fatal disaster, let's practice this matter tonight. Thirteenth Mother can sleep in the same tent with me tonight."
Girl: "Ah?!"
