The author has something to say: Happy New Year everyone!May all your wishes come true!

Yang Shun jumped off the horse, and Qin Xue got off the horse too.

"It's okay." Yang Shun looked at her worriedly.

"I'm fine." Qin Xue ran towards the fallen sergeant, probed his breath with her fingertips, then looked at Yang Shun and shook her head.

Thousands of people behind have pointed their spears at the nearby dense forest, all of them looked tense. Those who were disturbed by Yeluquan recently were panicked.Looking at everyone's nervous faces, Qin Xue knew that Yeluquan's desired effect had been achieved.

"It's not an arrow used in the army." Zog pulled out the thin arrow that hit the sergeant from his body and handed it to Yang Shun.

Yang Shun looked carefully, his face was surprised, his eyes were on Qin Xue, and he didn't speak.

"This arrow." Qin Xue smiled lightly, trying her best to conceal the excitement and astonishment in her heart, and said softly: "Like the things from Xingguzhuang, the gray crane hairs used for the arrow tails are all carefully selected with the longest and hardest crane tails. That one." Qin Xue gripped the thin arrow tightly and looked into the forest.

"It shouldn't be far away, I'll send someone to look for it." Yang Shunfang wanted to raise his hand, but was stopped by Qin Xue, "No need, everyone in Xunguzhuang is a master of archery, if they really want to kill me, they will do it just now."

"But you." Yang Shun was about to reveal her identity, looked at the person behind him and Qin Xue in front of him, finally endured, paused, and asked, "Aren't you the son of the chief guard of Xunguzhuang?"

Qin Xue didn't answer, but asked another question, "How long has it been since you went to Zhuangzi?"

Yang Shun lowered his eyes for a while and replied, "It's been two years."

Qin Xue slowly raised the thin arrow and put it in front of her eyes, "Dirty things have entered the village."

"'Dirty things'?" Yang Shun also looked at Xijian, seeming to understand her words, nodded and said: "No wonder Bailiyu said that the owner of Qin Zhuang was always in good health, so why did he get sick for no reason? It was plotted against."

Qin Xue held the thin arrow in her hand and stared at the forest in the distance, "Yang Shun, when the war is over, I will go back to Zhuangzi."

"Okay, I'll go back with you."

Qin Xue looked at him, smiled and nodded.The two got back on their horses and walked towards Lin Zhuang. The journey went smoothly, Qin Xue was a little unsteady, thinking about the scene just now, why did Xun Gu Zhuang send someone to kill her?Could it be that the villains inside knew she was still alive and wanted to silence her?However, the arrow was clearly missed, and it seemed that he intended to spare her life?Why?Qin Xue really couldn't figure it out.

The gate of Linzhuang city opened slowly, and a fat man in official uniform greeted him out of the gate.

"Your official, Fan Da, is meeting with General Yang." He led the master behind him to bow and salute together.

"Please get up from Zhizhou." Yang Shun jumped off his horse and led the army into the city. Linzhuang City was affected by the war, and every household looked decadent.Qin Xue followed Yang Shun and Fan Da, looking at the surrounding scene, and then at Fan Da with a tired face, thinking that they must be worried all day long, for fear that Yeluquan would attack again someday.

Fan Da was originally the magistrate of Yongze County. When the Liao army raided Cangmu, he was spotted by this astute man when they reached the Gobi. However, his words were light and his words had to be reported by the magistrate to the imperial city. The pedantic magistrate Jing Cong only knew how to accept it. Giving a gift, and thus missed a major event, resulting in the collapse of Yongze City.Under Fan Da's command, the people in the city escaped successfully, leaving an empty city for the Liao army.

Qin Xue stepped forward and saluted respectfully, "Qin Feng has heard about Zhizhou's affairs for a long time. Now that the warehouse is under the care of Zhizhou, the emperor can rest assured."

Fan Da looked at the military armor on Qin Feng's body, and bowed lightly, "Vice Lieutenant praises, Fan Da dare not be."

"Qin Feng's praise, Zhizhou can take it. Compared with Jing Cong's muddled things, Zhizhou is the one who can do great things." Yang Shun nodded to Fan Da, and walked into the market with the crowd. There were still businessmen standing here. The street vendors were selling some small objects. Seeing these, Yang Shun sighed: "Father wants everyone to be 'not surprised when things happen'. It seems that Fan Da has the most thorough understanding."

"Old Linggong's order, Fan Da will definitely abide by it." Fan Da saluted respectfully, and followed Yang Shun to inspect the defense of the city.

At the Yang family's barracks, Yang Xun stepped in front of the kneeling soldier, "Have you looked carefully?"

"Back to the military division, I can see clearly that Meng Zhe is in the army." Xiao Bing affirmed.

"Don't tell Deputy Qin about this matter, do you understand?" Yang Xun ordered seriously.

"Yes, please remember." Xiao Bing withdrew from the tent, leaving Yang Xun to pace alone, and said to himself, "Yeluquan, you know that Meng Zhe has revenge against her brother, why do you want to kill her brother?" Use Mengzhe to lure her? Are you really planning to attack her?"

In Daliao territory, Yelu Longxu accompanied Empress Dowager Xiao for a walk in the garden.

"Quan'er sent news from the front line, saying that everything is going well, and that he will definitely step on Da Song." Empress Dowager Xiao walked across the stone bridge, looked at Yelu Longxu who was silent behind her, and said slowly: "You Don't worry, any place that Quan'er takes will be yours."

Yelu Longxu stopped slowly, staring sideways at the pool under the bridge slightly, his own swaying reflection in the shimmering light. After a long time, he was unwilling to say: "The mother does not allow children to participate in the battle, as long as I sit in the spring and get it through hard work." The 'fisherman's profit', it can be seen that I am a useless emperor."

"Worthless?" Empress Dowager Xiao sneered, looked at the servants and servants following behind, and they hurriedly bowed and retreated.Empress Dowager Xiao approached Yelu Longxu, and said softly, "You think Quan'er is a brave hero, and you are inferior to him in everything, don't you?"

Yelu Longxu punched the stone railing with a trace of blood on the bones of his hand, but he still clenched his fist tightly, and the atmosphere was difficult to calm down.

"He is so powerful, but he is just a general, and you think he is not as good as him in everything, but you are the emperor of Daliao. Who do you think is more powerful?" Empress Dowager Xiao startled the people in front of her, making him stand up in surprise.

Empress Dowager Xiao snorted coldly, "As the saying goes, 'Win the king and lose the bandit', now you are the king, but Quan'er is not. It is enough to see that you are better than him."

"But, all this is given by the queen mother."

"Really?" Empress Dowager Xiao glanced at him lightly, took his hand off the stone railing, turned around and continued walking forward, Yelu Longxu followed closely, "Do you know how your father's throne was obtained?" of?"

"It's the emperor's uncle abdicating the throne for the virtuous." Yelu Longxu recalled what he heard.

"You really think so?" Empress Dowager Xiao sneered, "I'm afraid everyone knows in their hearts that 'abdicating the throne to the virtuous' is just a nice way of saying it. How could anyone be willing to give up that position."

"The queen mother said?" Yelu Longxu seemed to have thought of it.

"That's right, your father snatched it from your younger brother." The Empress Dowager Xiao stopped, turned her back to Yelu Longxu, and raised her head slightly to recall the past, "Your uncle is generous and kind to others. Good emperor. It's just that being an emperor is not enough. Without your father's skill and scheming, he can't expand our territory of Liao. Your father thought of Liao and forced him from his position."

Empress Dowager Xiao turned around slowly and looked at Yelu Longxu: "The reason why your father can do this is because his younger brother is afraid of him, and he is afraid of him from the bottom of his heart, so it is much easier to force the palace to sit in Zen. Now , Quan'er is just like your father's status back then, but he dared not do such a thing, do you know why?"

"Because of the queen mother?" Yelu Longxu asked softly, a little confused.

Empress Dowager Xiao shook her head lightly, and chuckled, "You still haven't figured it out. The reason why Quan Er didn't move was not because of her mother, but because of you."

"Me?" Yelu Longxu was even more confused, and there was a layer of unknown ripples in his heart.

"Quan'er is afraid of you." Empress Dowager Xiao said slowly: "I can see that although he looks rebellious in front of you, he has been afraid of you as an elder brother since he was a child. He will not do any of the things you ordered? Although you will deliberately delay for a while, you will do everything and never resist. Have you discovered this?"

Yelu Longxu lowered his eyes and thought, as if he had just reacted, he asked in confusion: "Why is he afraid of me? I am inferior to him in everything?"

"Because your father chose you to be the emperor of Daliao." Empress Dowager Xiao analyzed: "Quan'er respects your father and always respects his choices. That day I learned that your father passed the throne to you." , although he is not reconciled, he is influenced by your father in his heart, thinking that your talents are far superior to his, so he is more afraid of you."

Empress Dowager Xiao looked at Yelu Longxu seriously, and reminded: "So, from today on, you must make the fear in his heart grow stronger and never disappear, so that you can become the real king of Daliao."

Yelu Longxu turned around slowly, stared at the rockery in front of him, and clenched his fists, "My child understands." He said firmly, the look in his eyes was a little different from before, it seemed a little more fearless and resolute, very similar to At certain moments, Yeluquan was even far better than his look.

The letter from the army reached Linzhuang, and Yang Xun ordered Qin Xue to lead the army to assist Fan Da in defending the city. Yang Shun rushed back to the barracks immediately, but this order did not arouse the suspicion of the two.Yang Shun told Qin Xue to be careful, and was ordered to rush back to the army.In Linzhuang City, Qin Xue lived in the government office of the prefect, and Fan Da tidied up the courtyard for her.Qin Xue invited Fan Da to the courtyard, sat under the gazebo and invited him to sit with him. Xu Mo was by Qin Xue's side and had already become her deputy.

"I don't know what Qin Fuwei invited me to do?" Fan Da sat opposite Qin Xue.

"How long has Zhizhou been the county magistrate in Yongze City?" Qin Xue signaled Xu Mo to bring him some tea.

Fanda bowed his hands, "It's been five years."

"So you know Yongze well?"

Fanda nodded, "Close your eyes and watch it."

"Okay." Qin Xue stood up and clapped her hands. The maid took the pen and ink and put it in front of Fan Da. Qin Xue pointed to the white paper and said, "Please Zhizhou, please show me the Yongze Tower and the topography of the city."

"Yes." Fan Da picked up the pen and began to draw. He remembered the whole appearance of Yongze deeply, writing like flowing water without any pause.Qin Xue watched his expression carefully, but didn't see what he drew.Suddenly, a bright light flashed in Qin Xue's eyes, stopped Fan Da who was painting, and asked: "I just know why Zhou is frowning? Where is the painting?"

Fan Da put down his pen, cupped his hands and said, "There is a holy place in Yongze City, where all the Buddhist believers in Cangmu will rush to worship. This official is not someone who worships Buddha and practices Zen. Although he has lived in Yongze for five years, I have been to that place less than five times, so it is really difficult to draw the topography of the temple."

"Where is this temple built?" Qin Xue stared at a hill in the painting.

"Yunshan, the name of this temple is 'Jufu Temple'."

Qin Xue turned around slowly, with a smile on her lips, and said to Xu Mo beside her, "Go and find some monks, younger ones."

"Yes." Xu Mo bowed his hands and hurriedly backed away.

Qin Xue looked at Fan Da, "The former state governor Jing Cong voted for Daliao?"

"Yes." Fan Da got up slowly, quite emotionally, "The day the Liao army captured Yongze, he defected."

"Good vote." Qin Xue whispered, beckoning Fan Da to come closer to her, and whispered a few words in Fan Da's ear, Fan Da nodded understandingly, and exclaimed: "Deputy Qin is witty, I admire you. "

In the evening of the second day, Yeluquan stood on the sand table and studied the terrain of Cangmu. He put a small red flag in his hand on the top of the Linzhuang tower, and picked up a blue flag. Just about to put it down, Nan Gul broke in suddenly, knelt down and said: "Master, Yongze has fallen."

Yeluquan paused, looked at the person in front of him, "Lost?"

"Yes." Nan Gul gritted his teeth, hesitated for a while, and said with fists: "Qin Xue led the troops to attack."

Yeluquan looked pale, turned the blue flag around, and stuck it on the top of Yongze Castle on the sand table.

Nan Gul raised his head slightly, and seeing his indifferent face, he didn't quite understand, but he didn't dare to ask. After a long time, Yeluquan asked, "Is she injured?"

"When she invaded, the city was already in chaos, and the flying stones and sand in the tower were too late to splash, so I think it's not a big problem." Nan Gul was not sure, so he could only speculate.

"Go and find out, I don't listen to things I'm not sure about." Yeluquan's reaction made Nan Gul very puzzled. He slowly got up and replied, "Yes." He walked out of the tent with his head down and frowning.

When he walked out, Yeluquan said loudly, "Come here."

The guard outside the door ran in to listen to the order.

"Bring Meng Zhe to see me." Yeluquan ordered in a cold voice, and the expression in his eyes suddenly turned cold.
