The Song Dynasty has been deliberate for 16 years, only to know that it is the Water Margin

Chapter 416 The eagle flies south

On August [-], the Yelu Dashi Mansion was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations in red and green, and preparations for the marriage began.

Zhao Tong and the others stood outside the door and looked at it for a long time, and found that there were quite a lot of people coming and going in his house.

Some of them did not look like officials of the Liao Dynasty at first glance. They were dressed in strange clothes and holding strange-shaped weapons, which looked like green forests and grass.

Unlike the Song Dynasty, the Liao Kingdom could carry weapons in the city, and people could travel freely without hindrance. However, it was rare to see such blatant friendships.

Yue Fei wondered: "This person is too ostentatious, isn't he afraid that Emperor Liao will blame him for acting like this?"

Zhao Tong thought for a while and said, "I don't know about others, but the two sects in Baitoushan and Hubaoting were granted the title by Yelu Hongji, and the sect leaders have official status. If they are from these two sects, it would be reasonable."

Ouyang Bei looked at it for a while and said: "Master, I'm afraid it's not the same. My subordinates have observed that some people don't know each other. It doesn't look like they are just from those two places."

Zhao Tong thought: "Yelü Dashi has many friends. No matter where he comes from, people should be celebrating his marriage. Even Emperor Tianzuo can't say anything. After all, the princess is getting married, and Thirteen Niang is the lazy goddaughter of Queen Xiao Duoli. I still have to protect my face, so I just turn a blind eye."

The two said yes, looked at it for a while, and turned to leave. Zhao Yu said as he walked: "It seems that we need to hurry back to the south. More and more people are coming to the capital. In order to prevent any accidents in the marriage, Yelu Dashi will definitely spread the news inside and outside the city. The eyeliners and checks are getting tighter, and it may be difficult to escape when they fall."

Ouyang Beidao: "The princess' side..."

Zhao Tong said: "I'll go over to discuss it again, the matter can no longer be delayed."

In the evening, he went to the Prince's Mansion of Liaoxi County again. Xiao Min was talking to Da Diao in the room. Da Diao tilted his head to listen. Although he heard roughly, he couldn't speak and could only sip and agree.

When the eagle saw Zhao Taer coming, it lowered its head and burrowed under the bed. However, it forgot that it was now too big to be accommodated under the bed. As a result, it only got in half of its body, but it was focused on its head and not its bottom.

Zhao Tong pulled it out, and he immediately spread his wings and flapped, stretched out a big paw, and kept opening and closing it hard, scratching, scratching.

Zhao Tong frowned, and with lightning speed, he pinched the eagle's claws and lifted the big eagle upside down, and then said: "Let me see if there are any scars from your previous arrow wound!"

The big eagle was not willing to let him look at it. It felt like life was worse than death. He struggled desperately, but Zhao Tong's hands were like iron hoops, and he hummed: "Keep moving and I'll crush your bird's neck."

He picked out a few black feathers, looked at them for a moment, and then said: "It's okay, okay, but although there are no scars, I don't know if there are any disabilities."

Then he threw the eagle towards the door: "Take two steps, take two steps and see."

The big eagle didn't want to, so he opened the door of his own room and ran away.

Xiao Min said from the side: "Yuan Erlang, why are you bullying Xiaoxia?"

Zhao Tong wondered: "What Xiaoxia?"

Xiao Min said: "The name I gave it can't be carved all the time.

Zhao Tong smiled and said: "So that's it. I'm checking its root bones. This is a strange species of eagle. I want to see if the original injury is the root cause of the disease. If there is any, I can go back to Tokyo so I can have a look at it."

Xiao Min blinked: "Quan, I believe you, you...what are you going to do?"

Zhao Tong said: "Today is seventeen, are you ready to leave?"

When Xiao Min heard this, she didn't dare to look at him, she looked out of the window and said, "I have too many things to pack, I can't bear to part with them."

Zhao Tong thought that this was indeed the case. After all, Xiao Min grew up in Shangjing. He must have had many old things since he was a child. This time he went south to the Song Dynasty with him. He might not be able to return in the future, so he thought about taking many things with him.

He said: "You can pick the important ones and load them into a cart, and leave the rest for now. It's not like you won't come back later."

Xiao Min said: "Will you come back?"

Zhao Tong squinted his eyes: "Of course I'm going to come back, not to mention that you left this time just to avoid marriage, so it's impossible for Emperor Tianzuo to take back the mansion."

Xiao Min said: "But, but..."

Zhao Tong smiled and said: "When the time comes, you can ride on the eagle and walk from the sky without anyone noticing. As for the car, I will just drive it away."

Xiao Min said: "Yuan Erlang, I still think it's wrong, the frame is slow, if you are found out, how can you get away?"

Zhao Tong thinks about it too, after all, he is not afraid of ten thousand, but just in case, if there is a mistake, even if he can leave the house, he cannot take a carful of things with him.

He said: "What Thirteenth Mother said makes sense, then just bring some items that you can carry with you. You leave them to me and I will take them out of the house first."

Xiao Min said: "I'll take a look. If I only take the important ones, it's not too much."

Zhao Tang looked outside: "It's late today, let's clean it up tomorrow, it's not much, it won't take much time."

Xiao Min Qiqi said: "Yuan Erlang, if you really leave, will the mansion be untouched as you said?"

Zhao Tong said: "Emperor Tianzuo is here, so no one dares to move."

Xiao Min wondered: "How come your Majesty is not here?"

Zhao Tong remained silent. Xiao Min looked at his expression and said, "I'm afraid of being virtuous..."

Zhao Tong shook his head: "Yelü Dashi has two intentions. Emperor Liao will not believe him completely. The residence is a trivial matter, so Thirteenth Niang need not worry."

When the Jin soldiers came to attack, Emperor Tianzuo was defeated and fled to Jiashan. Yelu Dashi and Xiao Qian, not sure about his life or death, supported Yelv Chun as emperor in Nanjing and were not loyal to Emperor Tianzuo.

Xiao Min said "Oh". She didn't quite understand what Zhao Tong said, but since Zhao Tong said it was okay, she believed it was okay.

Zhao Tong added: "If anything happens in the future, I will get this mansion back for you."

Xiao Min didn't know what other changes would happen. He nodded ignorantly and heard Zhao Tong say: "It's midnight, go to bed."

Xiao Min was stunned when he heard this. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Zhao Tong walking to the bed, getting up and lying down, just like the previous two nights.

"Hey, why is there an extra pillow?" Zhao Tong laughed.

Xiao Min immediately lowered her head in shame. She didn't dare to speak or step forward. She just stood in the middle of the ground.

Zhao Tong said: "Thirteenth Mother, come here quickly. Your feet were cold when I touched them yesterday. It should be due to blockage of the Governor's Vein. I'll push your uterus to pass the bleeding. It will be cured once it's cured."

Xiao Min was unwilling and whispered: "I don't want it!"

Zhao Tong smiled and suddenly raised his hand. Silver light flashed and a red thread flew out. It turned out to be a sun-turning needle.

He struck the candlestick with a needle, extinguishing the candle in an instant, and the room became dark. "Ah..." Xiao Min said in shock: "Yuan Erlang, why did you turn off the lights?"

Zhao Tong said: "Who sleeps without turning off the lamp? You forgot that when Huining had no money, you urged me to put out the lamp early in order to save lamp oil."

Xiao Min blushed immediately, then walked to the couch coquettishly, then took off her embroidered shoes and got on the couch, staying far away from Zhao Tong, holding a pillow and leaning against the wall.

Zhao Tong said: "I will push the meridians for Thirteenth Niang."

Xiao Min immediately became vigilant: "I don't want it, you're just sleeping with me..."

Before she could finish her words, Zhao Tong came closer with a pillow at some point. Just when she was about to call out, her small mouth was already blocked.

"Well..." She was about to push Zhao Tong, but unexpectedly the other party's hand stretched out. She suddenly softened and her head felt dizzy. It took a moment to calm down. At this time, her wrist was weak, so she went to lift her leg. Unexpectedly, Zhao Tong had already caught the pair of slender and white ones, and the person also came to the side.

"Thirteenth Mother, don't move, I'll treat you!"

"no, do not want……"

Xiao Min couldn't break free at this moment. Zhao Tong's hands seemed to have magic power. In just a moment, Xiao Min felt warm all over his body, his energy and blood seemed to be burning slightly, and there was no chill at all.

She didn't know when she fell asleep, but when she opened her eyes, it was already bright and Zhao Tong had left long ago, leaving a note asking her to pack her things quickly...

Zhao Tong returned to the inn and discussed with Yue Fei and Ouyang Bei about leaving for Beijing. Since the eagle can carry people, everything becomes easier.

He would take out the things Xiao Min wanted to bring first, and then let the two of them take them outside the city. He would then ride away on his red horse. This horse was one of the eight horses and was Wanyan Baohua's mount. He could not leave it to Yelu. Dashi.

Later in the evening, Xiao Min had packed up neatly, with a total of two packages and a small box.

Zhao Tao took advantage of the darkness and rushed back to the inn, but the red horse could not be taken away, so he could only wait until the daytime tomorrow.

Early on the morning of August [-]th, Zhao Tong changed into his handyman clothes at the Liaoxi County Prince's Mansion, and then Xiao Min took him out, saying that he was going to the racecourse for a horse ride.

Although the guards at the door didn't recognize him, Xiao Min sent him personally, so no one doubted him.

Zhao Tong led the horse out. At this time, Yue Fei and Yue Fei had already left the city. He did not return to the inn, but hurried to the south gate.

We encountered some obstacles at the city gate. After all, the Liao people knew horses and were shocked to see this horse as a natural treasure. The interrogation was very strict. Fortunately, Zhao Tong had already prepared and took out the register of the county and prince's house where Xiao Min was coming. , there were horse cards again, and then we left the city.

Then he ran all the way to the place he had agreed with Yue Fei and others, waiting for Xiao Min to come out.

Xiao Min was a little panicked in the house at the moment. She first wore black clothes and then changed her embroidered shoes into boots. But she still felt it was inappropriate, so she combed her hair again, dressed up in men's clothing, and carried the Yuzang dagger close to her body. Then he came to the courtyard in a dodgy way.

The big eagle has been waiting there for a long time. Although it doesn't understand why its owner wants to go with that hateful two-legged beast, it can only obey the order. It doesn't want the two people to leave it alone. After all, it is not easy to find a long-term meal ticket. .

Looking around, no one was paying attention. Xiao Min got on the back of the eagle, then lowered himself as low as possible. The color of his clothes mixed with the color of the eagle's feathers. Then the eagle flapped its wings and flew into the sky...

About a quarter of an hour later, a voice came from outside the courtyard: "Princess, are you in there?"

No one responded in the small courtyard, and the voice outside called a few more times, with a somewhat puzzled tone: "I'm in!"

The courtyard door was originally plugged in from the inside, but with a "crack" sound, the wooden bolt broke through, and Yelu Dashi walked in.

He was still dressed in an old, washed-out white robe, striding forward, with a look of joy and doubt.

There is no rule in the Khitan that they cannot meet each other before getting married. He is here to give Xiao Min something. They are all precious and rare objects. He bought them from the Liao-Song border market, thinking that Xiao Min will like them.

Although the two of them had a very unpleasant quarrel a few years ago because of the incident where he sent troops to surround and kill Zhao Tong. After all, Xiao Min was also with Zhao Tong at that time. When the soldiers fired arrows and attacked, they were all indiscriminate, including Xiao Min. .

But later he repeatedly explained that he didn't know they were together at all, and only thought that Xiao Min and the other party had separated and returned to Beijing long ago, so he gave that order.

As for whether Xiao Min believed it or not, he didn't care. After all, there was no proof for this kind of thing. As long as he didn't admit it, no one could say that he wanted to kill Xiao Min intentionally. What's more, the assassination of Wanyan Aguda was a confidential matter, and there was no such thing. Who knows, Xiao Min will not publicize this matter, he believes that time can dilute everything.

He is of royal blood and a descendant of Yelu Abaoji. Although he is far away from the current Liao Emperor, he has always regarded the prosperity of Liao as his own responsibility.

But now... Daliao is in ruins on all sides and is on the verge of collapse. He is extremely heartbroken. In order to repeat the glory of the empire, he can sacrifice everything, including his parents, wife, and even himself.

Yelu Dashi wondered why no one answered. After all, the courtyard door was locked, which meant there was someone inside.

He came to the house and knocked a few times: "Princess, I'm here, are you in there?"

Still no one spoke, Yelu Dashi frowned, opened the door with a creak, and then walked in, but still saw no one.

His face darkened, and he went back to the inner room. He saw that the room was very clean, but Xiao Min was not there. But if Xiao Min was not there, how could the courtyard door be broken in from the inside?
Yelu Dashi glanced around and saw the skirt and embroidered shoes thrown on the ground. He couldn't help but be startled. Then he went to the dressing table of the bronze mirror and saw the hairpins placed on it, and there were still hair residues, which were obviously from the head. Before I could take it off and clean it up, my pupils couldn't help but shrink.

He hurriedly took a few steps to the courtyard, kicked open the monastery where Diao usually lived, and when he saw that it was so empty inside, he secretly cried out.

It looked like Xiao Min had changed her clothes and gone out, but she was getting married tomorrow and it was too late to prepare various things today, so how could she go out?

Yelu Dashi thought for a moment and felt that something was wrong. He hurriedly called people to ask, but no one could tell the reason.

After thinking for a while, he went straight to the stable, and when he got closer, he saw that Chiji was not in the stable, and his heart sank even more.

This horse was brought back from the Kingdom of Jin by Xiao Min. She has always loved it like a treasure and never let others touch it. But now it has disappeared!
Yelu Dashi called the people in the house to inquire again, and learned that in the morning, a strange handyman led the horse out. Unknown to everyone, it was Xiao Min who sent it to the house in person. He hurriedly asked the servant about his physical condition. After hearing this, His face changed drastically, his fists were clenched tightly, and his joints made a "crackling" sound.

"Zhao Tan, you bullied me too much!" Yelu Dashi roared up to the sky, his voice shaking the clouds. At this moment, he didn't know that it was Zhao Tan who had arrived and abducted Xiao Min.

"Zhao Zi, you are despicable and shameless. If I don't kill you, I swear you will not be a human being!" He rushed out of the house in a few steps, then mounted his horse and hurried to mobilize troops. According to the opening time of the city, Zhao Zi must not have gone too far at this moment. , he figured that if he went out of the city to pursue him, it would still be possible to catch up with this shameless man.

At this time, Zhao Tong was waiting for Xiao Min outside the city. Xiao Min got off the big eagle. Zhao Tong said: "Thirteenth Mother, hurry up and get on your horse. I missed something, so I'd better get out of here quickly."

Xiao Min asked suspiciously, "What is missing?"

Zhao Tong smiled bitterly: "If Yelu Dashi went to look for you and saw no one, and then saw that neither the eagle nor the red horse was there, he would have expected me to come and would have sent heavy troops to chase him."

Xiao Min said: "Zhongde... may not come to me today."

Zhao Tong shook his head: "Just in case, it's better to leave quickly!"

Xiao Min nodded, and a group of four riders headed straight towards Juechen in the south of the grassland...
