Travel Notes of Tianlong

In the following days, Xiao Songting never mentioned the martial arts instruction to Tang Hao and the others. The camp where they lived became unusually busy."I guess their emperor will be arriving soon." It didn't happen every day. At the banquet, Tang Hao and the others gathered together for dinner today."Hahaha, I didn't see the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. I saw the Emperor of the Liao Kingdom first." The big-hearted Xue Qing didn't care about the fights or anything like that. Traveling with your family is the most fun

"My brother-in-law is a Khitan and has great martial arts skills. Maybe the emperor will give you an official title when he sees you?"Xue Qing teased Brother Xiao. Although he and Shuang Fei haven't gotten married yet, it would only be a matter of time."Then let me borrow my little sister's good words, hahahaha."Brother Xiao doesn't argue, he just wants to make this sister happy.

"But brother, I always feel that the king of the South Campus is planning a conspiracy." The wine outside the customs is extremely spicy, and Tang Hao is not used to it yet."Brother Tang, did you discover something?"Shuang Fei is very thoughtful, and she has to thank the Murong family for her training since she was a child. Like Tang Hao, she also felt that something was wrong."Well, I went out for a walk a few nights ago and found that there is a part of the camp. The soldiers in the military tent are different from others."

Tang Hao recalled what happened a few nights ago. He wanted to wander around the camp because he was bored. With his skills, it was easy to avoid being discovered by others. According to his observation, there were about 20,000 people in the entire military camp. For this reason, he also complained about the grand ostentation of the South Campus King, who brought so many people out for hunting.

After walking around almost in a circle, Tang Hao saw a strange place. It was not like other camps. There are people on patrol but it gives people a feeling of staying away,"Hey, this is the place I'm looking for."For Tang Hao, he just wanted to find some unusual places that would be rewarding, so he went there quietly.

Although it was night, some braziers were always lit in the camp for lighting, but that strange one There was no light in the tent or nearby. But when Tang Hao got closer, he smelled a strange and pungent smell. Curious, he sneaked close to the cowhide tent and slightly opened the door curtain. The scene inside made Tang Hao feel It was a bit nauseating.

The people in the tent were all taking a powdery substance, and some even used oil lamps to heat the powder, which made a crackling sound, and that's where the pungent smell came from.

Almost all the ten camps around here have such a scene, and those who took the food showed a crazy look, constantly scratching their bodies.

"whispering sound! So perverted?"Seeing these scenes, Tang Hao immediately realized that this situation was probably using some evil means to create some secret team like puppets, and usually the things created using such methods were not for any good.

Tang Hao He told the other three what he had seen during his night visit to the military camp the other day,"Master, I heard from a senior fellow in the Xingxiu Sect that this kind of secret technique is very evil!"Xue Qing has the most theoretical knowledge in this aspect of poison power,""Once you get involved with this thing, you can't get rid of it, but all aspects of your body's functions will be greatly strengthened, and your strength will become stronger as the dose increases, but this This method is no different than drinking poison to quench thirst."Xue Qing explained the key point in one sentence.

"So it seems that Xiao Songting's purpose of raising these medicine people is to complete a difficult task." Sister Shuangfei's mind was running rapidly,"It should be, and the life span of this kind of medicine people will not be very long. According to the master just now, The description may have reached the final stage. If it is not used anymore, they will explode and die soon."Although Xue Qing practices poison skills, she does not use those vicious moves to harm people. Instead, she often uses tricks that are easy to detoxify and are not fatal. It looks more like a child's prank.

"Let's just wait and see what happens." Brother Xiao thinks that there is no need to delve into it now. After all, the four of them are just outsiders. Although Xiao Songting has the intention to win over, the other party has not made any substantive actions, so under the premise that the situation is unknown, it is still just Just pretend you don't know."I agree with the elder brother, and it is said that the Emperor of Liao will arrive soon. Let's see what other situations there are between them."Tang Hao thought that since he had the opportunity to contact the top officials of the Liao Kingdom, it would be better to remain silent and wait to watch the show.

Two days later, gongs and drums were heard outside the camp. It seemed that the emperor of the Liao Kingdom had arrived, and Xiao Songting specially sent someone to invite him. Tang Hao and others went to the big account to meet Emperor Liao

"Are these the heroes Songting mentioned?"After meeting with his subordinates, Emperor Liao deliberately separated the others to meet with Tang Hao and others alone."I have met Emperor Liao," Tang Hao, who belongs to a different country, simply responded with polite etiquette, while Brother Xiao responded with Khitan etiquette to greet each other

"Hahahaha, it’s not like the court doesn’t have to be polite here. I didn’t expect to get the best treasure when I went hunting this time!"The words were a bit disgusting, but they were obviously meant to win over Brother Xiao and the others,"Your Majesty, the banquet has been prepared, do you think?"Xiao Songting, the king of the south courtyard, completely changed his attitude and became respectful at this time,"Let's have a banquet!"Emperor Yelu Zhengde of the Liao Dynasty waved his hand with extraordinary magnanimity.

During the entire banquet, although Yelu Zhengde did not mention a word about inviting Tang Hao and others to return to the Liao Kingdom, he gave them the feeling that this matter had already been decided without any discussion. come down

"Hiss... how should I put it?" Later that night, Tang Hao and Brother Xiao were feeding each other tricks to relieve their boredom,"That Liao Emperor is too self-righteous."Tang Hao, a modern man, looked at Yelu Zhengde's inexplicable confidence and couldn't bear it."The emperor must be domineering," Brother Xiao dodged Tang Hao's attack and responded with a tricky angle kick,"Oh! Brother, your leg skills are not bad either."The sudden knockdown made Tang Hao's eyes light up.

"who!"If it were the Ruan sisters, they would not approach secretly. Tang Hao noticed a different aura,"Don't panic, you two. I was sent by His Majesty, codenamed Hound."The man didn't dodge when he saw that he had been discovered. He stood up openly and said,"Your Majesty sent me to invite you two to discuss matters."I didn't expect that Yelu Zhengde would come to them privately. Tang Hao and Brother Xiao exchanged glances with each other and followed.

They followed the hound to a secluded place. Although no one could be seen around, Tang Hao also knew the secret with his excellent senses. There are several guards lurking everywhere. It is obvious who these people want to protect.

"Your Majesty, please come to my two brothers and tell me what's wrong? Brother Xiao, who is a Khitan, asked,"Songting has been very close to you recently," Yelu Zhengde said in a confused manner,"Yes, the King of Nanyuan does take good care of us.""There is nothing to deny this kind of thing, although the other party must have his own purpose.

"Have you noticed anything unusual about Songting?" Emperor Liao looked at the two brothers with sharp eyes."If anything, there is something really wrong." Tang Hao decided to pick a fight first. He felt that the two men were not familiar with each other. It's as harmonious as it seems on the surface."Mr. Feng is quick to speak, so I won't beat around the bush. Xiao Songting will rebel at some point. I hope to get your help to minimize the damage of this matter.""

The words of Emperor Liao were so shocking that Xiao and Tang looked at each other in confusion and didn't know how to answer for a while."These relatives have always wanted to replace me," Yelu Zhengde sighed,"But I am not willing to surrender without mercy. Today I invite you two I came here to ask you for a favor. I am waiting for your answer in the camp. If you don't want to wade in this muddy water, I will arrange for someone to send you away immediately. Soon there will be a river of blood here."For Emperor Liao, with the help of two super masters, he can suppress Xiao Songting's rebellion at a lower cost, but if the other party is unwilling to help, Yelu Zhengde now has no time to target two martial arts people. He must first What he did was to put on a good show and have a good fight with Xiao Songting.

"The incident happened so suddenly, I'm afraid it's a bit awkward for His Majesty to ask us to make a decision now," Tang Hao did not answer directly,"It doesn't matter, you two can think about it carefully, and I will never stop you even if you leave here. Now that our army is moving towards the capital, Xiao Songting is not so impatient yet. I believe there are still people preparing to cause trouble with him."After Yelu Zhengde said that, he turned around and left.

"Hehe, the reason why the Liao Kingdom has been dormant for several years turns out to be fighting among each other. Tang Hao, who returned to his tent, laughed. The four of them were sitting together to discuss countermeasures,"No matter who loses or wins after this battle, the Liao court will be integrated together.""

Tang Hao's analysis is correct. The current relative peace on the Song-Liao border is not because Daliao has no interest in going south, but because the powerful people in Liao have their own agendas, and no one wants to give up first.

"Brother, what do you think?"Among the people, only Brother Xiao is a Khitan, and his attitude is still the main one,"If possible, I don't want the people of the two countries to fall into war, but no matter how you look at it, these two people don't seem to be able to govern the country quietly. people."Brother Xiao, before he became the leader of the Beggar Clan, had traveled back and forth between the Liao Kingdom and the Song Dynasty to kill many generals of the Liao Army. He naturally knew that the current stability was temporary.

"The lesser of two evils," Shuang Fei said from the side what Brother Xiao was thinking,"Exactly, Fei'er said it right. At present, it seems that Xiao Songting is not suitable to be the top leader of Liao Kingdom. Brother Xiao seemed to have the answer,"How about I go around the emperor's camp again?""We can't draw conclusions so casually. Tang Hao also wanted to see what kind of person the Liao Emperor was.

"This is good, this is good," Xue Qing became excited. She always wanted to follow Tang Hao around, but was always rejected and stayed in her tent."What? Do you want to come with me to find out information again? Tang Hao looked at her and smiled slightly,"Master, shouldn't I test whether my martial arts have improved?""Xue Qing, who is always doing nothing, seems to have made up his mind to follow Tang Hao.

Although he became Xue Qing's master inexplicably, Tang Hao doesn't hate it. Firstly, the little sister looks very cute, and secondly, he has trained Xiao Xi. After guarding Jing Kui with two servants, he really wanted to see what the effect would be if the target was another NPC.

"Well, just follow me, but if you are discovered, I will not save you."Xue Qing's Qinggong is not bad, so Tang Hao is not worried that she will hold her back. This is just to stimulate her competitive spirit. Xue Qing is more suitable for a challenging training method than comforting her. That night,

Tang Hao and Xue Qing So they put on their night clothes and set off. The two of them bypassed the guards and arrived near the Liao Emperor's camp. Compared to Xiao Songting, Yelu Zhengde seemed to have no place to hide. Tang Hao didn't see anyone while sneaking here. There are some suspicious tents. The emperor's entire camp is larger than Xiao Songting's, but almost all of it is brightly lit.

This situation adds a lot of points to Yelu Zhengde. Compared with Xiao Songting's method of raising dead soldiers, it is obvious that Tang Hao appreciates the upright approach even more. After all, the Liao Emperor has already decided to break up with each other. At this time, it is safest to keep both the public display of strength and the secret cards with him.

"Master, can I get closer? Feeling excited, Xue Qing took the initiative to ask Ying to observe the Liao Emperor up close,"You can go if you want, I'll help you look after him.""Whatever she said was just a joke. Although it was not officially recognized, Xueqing was also the daughter of Emperor Dali. If anything happened to Princess Dali, it would be a big trouble. So the two took a step closer to Yelu Next to Zhengde's big tent, it's a pity that the big tent can't be cut open with a knife, so they can only eavesdrop on the conversation inside.

""Your Majesty, it would be best if those two people could help." The content of the conversation was about Xiao and Tang."Let's just pretend that they will stand by and watch. How is the ranger that was sent out earlier?" ?"It seems that Emperor Liao also made other arrangements."It is reported that they have arrived at the designated ambush location. As long as His Majesty gives an order, Xiao Songting can be caught off guard."A person can practice martial arts one-on-one or one-on-many, but things like marching and fighting cannot be solved solely by the value of force. They still need to be familiar with the art of war, long-term practical experience and agile on-the-spot adaptability.

"I'm not afraid of him in a head-on confrontation, but I can't bear to see people of the same race killing each other."Yelu Zhengde's headache is that he and the other party's men are all effective members of the Liao army. The soldiers who could have made contributions to the expansion of the Liao's territory have to kill each other instead, and no matter which side fails, they will be labeled as treason. In his name, he could not get any compensation for death in battle. This kind of internal strife was unacceptable to an ambitious emperor like him.

"I don’t know what Xiao Songting is plotting behind his back, so I have to guard against this." Emperor Liao was discussing with his trusted subordinates,"There is no news from the spies sent, which further illustrates the seriousness of the problem."The staff officer was very worried. Tang Hao and Xue Qing nodded to each other. They immediately thought of Xiao Songting's use of poison to make medicine. Once these people are made, they will not know pain or fear of death, and it will become extremely difficult for them to do so. Deal with it.

After hearing this, Tang Hao and the others didn't want to stay any longer,"Let's go back to find your sister and brother-in-law."Tang Hao grabbed Xue Qing's arm and took her"flying","Wow! Master, are you so good at Qinggong?"This is the first time Xue Qing saw Tang Hao use this level of Kung Fu,"Haha, when you have mastered the Five Poisons Mind Technique, I will teach you step by step."Tang Hao judged from Xue Qing's every breath that she had made great achievements in practicing the"Five Poison Mind Techniques", which let him know that those game NPCs should be able to teach them as long as they do not violate the taboo of mutually exclusive martial arts. Martial arts.
