The city of Daning in eastern Shandong is still quiet.
A general stood behind the battlement of the city wall. He was wearing armor, pressing the hilt of the knife with his left hand, and squinting his eyes and looking into the distance.
His name is Li Tai, a military general of Daning. He also has a private identity: he was ordered by the court to be responsible for secretly surveillance of King Ning.
Everything Li Tai saw in his eyes was so calm, but his heart was not calm.
It is precisely because there is no movement in Daning City that it seems so unusual... If King Ning Zhu Quan had followed the imperial edict, he should mobilize troops and pack up his east and west to go to Liaodong. How could he think nothing had happened?
Li Taike couldn't act like nothing, and King Yàn had already rebelled in Peking!Sooner or later something happens to Daning!
At this moment, a general walked up to the city wall and clasped his fists and said: General, there is someone under the city who claims to be from the general's family and he has to see the general.
What kind of person?Li Tai asked casually.
The general tilted his head and took a breath of hiss. He was wearing a long robe, a bit like a literati, but not very similar, and had a southern accent... his face looked like a woman.
Li Tai was about to bring it up when he suddenly thought of something and said: I'll go down to see you.
Li Tai walked down the city gate, crossed the corridor and walked outside the city gate, and indeed saw a person waiting there.The man did have a look of a female appearance, but Li Tai didn't know him.
Seeing that there was only one person coming, wearing a commoner, Li Tai gently raised his hand and waved it back.The general who followed him backed in.
You are... Li Tai said.
The person who came to the scene said: It doesn’t matter who I am, it’s just a bad job.Are you General Li Tai and Li?Seeing Li Tai nodding without hesitation, the man asked again: Can you please read the seal?
Li Tai frowned, took out a round waisted sign and put it in front of the man.
The man took out a bamboo tube from his arms for a long time, took out a bamboo tube, and handed it over with both hands.
Li Tai reached out to take it, just as he was about to open the bamboo tube.
The man said: Slowly!
Li Tai immediately stopped and looked up at him in confusion.
The man said again: This is not a place to see things, nor is it a place to speak.It's better for the general to watch again later.I didn’t dare to enter the city. After an hour, what’s the point of Shili Pavilion in the east?
After the man said that, he did not allow Li Tai to answer, so he clasped his fists and said: Goodbye.
What is this thing?Li Tai put it in his arms, walked to the government office in the city, found a room to go in, and then opened it to see it.
If you don’t look at it, you will be shocked when you see it!When Li Tai saw it, there was a yellow silk embroidered with auspicious dragons inside, and two columns of characters were written on the imperial pen: You can judge the urgent and act expediently.
His hands were trembling, and he hid in his arms, closed all the doors and windows, and then took them out and observed them carefully.
That’s right, Li Tai has seen the current emperor’s imperial criticism. After a closer look, he was sure that he was written by the emperor!
This is a secret edict, I have never seen a secret edict!Li Tai thought to himself.It is extremely difficult to even see the emperor's general of his level, let alone give him a secret order.
After checking, he immediately hid himself carefully inside his underwear, and his chest was dongdongdong... and it sounded straight.
After finally surviving half an hour, Li Tai took two confidant soldiers and rode out of the city and rushed eastward.
The group of three people was very silent on the road and rushed to Shiliting.
Li Tai looked at it and saw that there was no one in Shili Pavilion. He looked around and found that there was a person standing next to the small hill not far away, with only one man and one horse, which was the person he had seen before.
Li Tai then slapped his horse. When he was dozens of steps away, he raised his hand to stop his personal soldiers and rode alone.
Li Tai turned over and dismounted, bent his waist, and clasped his fists and said: What do you call him sir?
As soon as he finished speaking, suddenly there was a bang... two strings sounded.
Li Tai was shocked. When he looked back, he saw an arrow burst out from the throat of a personal soldier, and all the flesh and blood were brought out. The two personal soldiers fell from the horse's back together.
Ah!Li Tai reached out to touch the knife, and suddenly with a clang, he saw Venus all over the sky and fainted.
...When Li Tai woke up slowly, he opened his eyes and felt that the light around him was dim. It was already evening, but he didn't know where he was.
He struggled a little, and found that his hands and feet were tied, and there was a ball of smelly cloth blocking his mouth.
What's going on?
At this time, the sound of digging soil came not far away, and then said: Damn, tell me not to use arrows. What should I do if the people from Shili Pavilion are coming and going, and blood is found?
Another voice said: Don’t be too verbally verbally!Hurry up and dig the pit to bury the body and the servant, and share the money and go back to work to bed!
The voice just now said: Brother, don’t be afraid, then Li Tai is very stupid, he can’t even see fake things, it’s too easy to trust people.
Is I going to be buried alive?Li Tai was full of doubts and fear, and felt that he was about to die in an unknown way.
Who are these people?
Li Tai thought that the arrow cluster was accurate during the day, and that it could be shot directly through the neck with heavy armor-piercing arrows... Only those heavy arrow clusters are used in the army, and I am afraid that only the divine arms and hands in the army can have the arrow technique!
Li Tai pretended that he hadn't woken up, observed with his eyes empty and racked his brains to think of ways.
He suddenly found a small wooden box next to the fire. It was a box containing money in the treasury. How could the government’s things and Li Tai, a general, not recognize?
He looked carefully for a while, and with the shaking fire, although the seal on the box was torn, he could vaguely see that it was the seal of the Daning Treasury!
Damn it!Why do people in Daning kill me?
Li Tai thought to himself that he was a person who had already planted in Daning in the capital to monitor King Ning.But King Ning doesn't seem to know... it's hard to say!
Although his identity is secret, he can't help but walk by the river without getting wet his shoes. It is probably discovered by King Ning.
And the secret edicts I saw during the day were only as noble as King Ning. How could the emperor give secret edicts at will?
Besides, he is a general from Daning City, and almost no one knows his true identity. Who would kill him?Why kill him?
Just then, Li Tai found a goose feather knife thrown under the tree next to him.He moved over there carefully...
I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly a scream in the night: People are running away!
Li Tai had skillfully turned over the horse, kicked the horse in the belly, and ran away!
After a while, there was a bang bang bang bang... three strings sounded.
Li Tai bent down and lay on the horse's back and ran away with rushing.
……
On a slightly flat piece of land in the mountains, there is a village with a hundred people living in it.
At night, the village became dark, with only a few scattered and faint light like beans.It was an ordinary and peaceful night.
But suddenly, the dog barked everywhere, and the horse's hooves sounded.Torchs were lit in the night, and the houses were lit.The village was no longer dark, and fires were everywhere.
Bang bang bang... The sound of strings sounded in the night sky, and rockets flew around.The village soon became noisy, and many villagers ran out and ran around in a daze.
The cavalry whizzed everywhere in the village, and military flags with the words Yàn were everywhere, and there were countless people and horses coming.
A large number of villagers escaped from the village and ran up the mountain in panic. The children cried and the adults cried in a mess.
At this moment, a man shouted in the crowd: King Yàn's men are coming to Daning City!The Yàn army was short of food and robbed everywhere. Don’t run south, you will be killed!
What to do Ah... Someone in the crowd cried.
The man just shouted: I am from Hegou Village. I was robbed at night, and all the people in the village are almost killed!At this time, we can't go to Daning City, so we have to run east quickly!
The Yàn army was so angry that they didn't even let go of the dogs in the village. The child was picked on a gun and roasted and eaten. If he didn't run away, he would die...
Everyone was shocked and frightened, and at a loss. Under the shouts of the man, they followed him to run for his life.Everyone didn't care about anything, so they ran away first to save their lives.
……
Li Tai ran for a long time, but he had long disappeared.He held the torch and looked back and then felt relieved.
The road just now extended east and west, and Li Tai ran east.At this time, he thought about it and returned to Daning to die!I didn't bring anything on my body, only a horse and a few things.
For the current plan, I had to continue going east, pass Yizhou, and go to Guangning to find the King of Liao.Li Tai had already received the news that the King of Liao had received the order and was about to return to Beijing by sea.
It was almost dawn that he saw a large group of people in the south.Li Tai quickly dismounted, tied the horse, put out the torches, and carefully walked into the dead trees on the side of the road to hide.
After waiting for a while, it turned out to be a group of people with family members.Some of them only wore underwear and were very embarrassed.
Li Tai breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the road, grabbed a person and asked: Where are you from and why are you doing?
The man said: The soldiers are here, kill people, roast the kids and eat...
At this time, a man gasped and said: Brother, aren’t you just a soldier?
Li Tai looked down at his messy military uniform and shook his head and said: I am a soldier from Daning.
The man said: Didn’t Daning’s soldiers surrender?The soldiers are here!After saying that, the man just ran east.
Li Tai calmed down and stopped another woman and shouted: Bold, do you dare to pretend to be a fool to deceive me!If you don’t tell the truth, don’t blame me for being ruthless under the knife!
The woman softened and knelt on the ground and cried: Jun Ye!We are from Gaoba Village in the south of Daning. We were robbed by the soldiers and had no money and property... We did not bully Ah!
Li Tai left the woman and caught a few random questions. These people were indeed common people, including all the elderly, weak, women, children, and young and strong, with accents from Daning.
There is also an old man who is literate and says that there are Yàn military flags everywhere!
Li Tai then left the fugitives, walked back to pick up the horse, and continued to walk east.
He was tired and hungry along the way, and he didn't dare to enter the city after passing Yizhou. He put on clothes of the people and walked eastwards. Fortunately, there was a water bag on the horse's back, so he could keep getting water.
Li Tai hid all the way to Guangning.Fortunately, the seal on his body was still there, so he went into the city to meet the King of Liao.
When the King of Liao heard that it was a military general from Daning, he also received it.When Li Tai saw King Liao, he knelt down on the ground and said: King Ning has rebelled!King Ning rebelled!
The Liao King was shocked and said: I just received news from Daning yesterday. Isn’t Ning still holding on?
He turned against it!Li Tai said excitedly, "What I saw with my own eyes is not wrong!"King Ning had already put the Yàn army into Daning, and he deceived the king!
The King of Liao immediately sent people to the west to inquire about the situation.
A day later, there was a report. The scout who inquired about the news said that there were many people in Yizhou who fled from Daning.The King of Liao was very anxious and rushed to board the boat.
A general stood behind the battlement of the city wall. He was wearing armor, pressing the hilt of the knife with his left hand, and squinting his eyes and looking into the distance.
