Chapter Eighty-Eight: A Squirrel "There is a valley of abundance, flanked by towering mountains, and in this valley there are beautiful gardens cultivated by the elders of the mountains, Hassan, bin and Sabah......
And there he gave them some herb to eat, and when he had eaten it, they flew up to paradise, where there were evergreen trees that bloomed all year round, and evergreen fruits, springs of milk and honey, and virgins who were young forever.
Those who have taken medicine indulge in the pleasures of Paradise, and they think that the real world is in fact only a dream, but this dream is so peaceful, so comfortable, so enchanting, that whoever gives them a dream, they sell him their body and soul.
They obey His commands as if they were gods.
Whoever he instructed them to kill, they went to the ends of the earth to murder the victim, and even if they died under torture, no one complained, because they believed that death was only a shortcut to Elysium......"
There are many scholars among the Khitans, especially Yelu Zongzhen, who has great respect for scholars.
Therefore, in his great tent there will always be the most learned scholars by his side, to satisfy his heart, which is always full of curiosity and questions.
Yelu Hongji's face darkened slightly, he didn't believe that there really was any paradise in this world.
Even if they exist, they are just like the existence of the wine pond meat forest of King Yin, as for the gods and ancestors, they will always stay quietly in the shrine, or on the ancestral tablet, never make a sound, never manifest a spirit, just stay there silently watching the people and their descendants multiply.
The more people who profess themselves in the name of God, the more they ignore God, and this truth Yelu Hongji understood at an early age.
"Let's talk about who the murderer is after we catch him!"
Yelu Hongji ended the lengthy interview with a breeze, not wanting to be affected by the assassination.
Tomorrow, my father will worship the heavens, and it is difficult for me to prepare everything in just one day.
The dead are dead, and the values they once represented have disappeared with the loss of life.
Now, more thought needs to be given to how the living should be accommodated, especially who will take the place that the dead once occupied.
The war horse under Meng Yuanzhi's crotch is still running forward hard, but the speed is not as good as before.
Two puffs of white smoke erupted from the thick nostrils, and the horse's breathing became more and more rapid.
This is a very good war horse, and it has been running for at least a hundred and ten miles since last night.
The hot body gave Meng Yuanzhi warmth, which made Meng Yuanzhi, who felt cold due to excessive blood loss, feel very comfortable.
He knew that if he continued to run like this, his war horse would be scrapped, or even run to death.
However, he did not dare to let the war horse stop, and if he ran one more step, he would be one step away from the enemy.
The frozen river like a white ribbon could already be seen in front of it.
Chaos had forgotten the name of this river in his mind, and only remembered that he had agreed with Tie Xinyuan to meet by this river.
A melodious Qiang flute sound came from a distance, the tune was very melodious, Meng Yuanzhi tried his best to open his eyes wide, so that he could see the road ahead, at this time, the person who can play the Qiang flute, I'm afraid there is only Tie Xinyuan.
Two war horses galloped over from a distance, Meng Yuan stretched out his arms, he really wanted to hug the two people in front of him.
In the camp of Liaoguo, he was always alone, which made him feel very lonely, and just now, he was asking himself over and over again whether Tie Xinyuan would wait for him by the river.
Now, all these worries are gone, Meng Yuanzhi just wants to find a warm place to sleep for three days and three nights, and he wants to take Tie Xinyuan's hand and tell him what kind of exciting things he has done.
However, when he fell headlong into Tie Xinyuan's arms, who came to greet him, he barely opened his bloody mouth and shouted with all his strength: "Run!
” When Meng Yuanzhi woke up again, he found himself lying on a board car, the cushion wound under his body had been carefully bandaged, although it was still a little painful, it was not so unbearable, his whole body was warm, but he didn't have any strength, he opened his eyes and found Wei Chiwen sitting next to him, dozing off like a chicken pecking rice. barely bracketing his body, he saw Tie Xinyuan riding a horse and guarding his side, smiling and groaning, looking very good.
Meng Yuan fell into the grass pile, looked at the clear blue sky and asked, "How long have I been asleep?"
” Tie Xinyuan smiled: "Three days and two nights." ” "How far have we traveled in the past three days?"
"One hundred and forty miles a day, this is already the extreme, otherwise the Lele car is too bumpy, and you won't be able to stand it."
"That is, we are already five hundred miles away from Longshou Mountain?"
Tie Xinyuan said with a smile: "It's rare to see that you have the right numbers, tell me, what did you do, even if you are five hundred miles away from Longshou Mountain, you are still worried that there will be enemies chasing you."
These days, when you have a fever, your mouth always keeps urging me to run, and now I have run out with you. ” Meng Yuan opened his mouth straight, and Wei Chiwen, who was guarding beside him, immediately poured half a bowl of warm milk into his mouth, adding a lot of honey to it, and drinking it was sweet and silky in his mouth, which was very comfortable.
"Oh, I didn't do anything, after killing that Yin Zhang Cimin of Xijing Mansion, I found that there was still time, so I went to the camp of the Emperor of Liao."
Meng Yuanzhi tried his best to say the most proud thing in his life in the most peaceful tone, and then waited for Tie Xinyuan to show a look of adoration.
He found that Tie Xinyuan's eyes widened in an instant, and he glanced back in horror, and shouted at Quack: "Order everyone to speed up, run!"
” Quack quickly took out the horn and blew it, and Meng Yuanzhi felt that the Lele car under him became bumpy.
Seeing that Tie Xinyuan was about to run to the front, he said angrily: "What are you running?"
We've come a long way. ” Tie Xinyuan shuddered and said angrily: "I haven't run far enough, the more you say things in such calm words, the more scared I am, then find your personality that you like to show, and then I will immediately tell me a result that is completely beyond my imagination."
Don't tell me, you killed Emperor Liao!
If that's the case, we won't be safe even if we run to the ends of the earth. ” Meng Yuanzhi shook his head with a dark face and said, "Do you think the emperor is so easy to kill?"
Even if I am close to the emperor, it is impossible to assassinate the Liao Emperor, do you think that the golden wrestlers of the Liao Kingdom eat dry rice?
When I went out this time, I killed dozens of Liao officials, it's not a big deal, don't be alarmed. ” The expression on Tie Xinyuan's face was very exciting, and he opened his mouth for a burst of red and white and exclaimed, "How much?"

” "Dozens, I can't see who it is at night, I cut it off when I touch my head, anyway, there must be dozens of them."
Meng Yuanzhi, who was grinning at the carriage, hurriedly said.
Tie Xinyuan's order was implemented very thoroughly by those herdsmen, and Hu Laosan, the leader of the herdsmen, with more than a dozen of his minions, gritted his teeth and waved the whip to urge the herdsmen who were strung together by ropes to hurry up and urge the war horses to run quickly.
Since Meng Yuanzhi has woken up, Tie Xinyuan has no need to worry about this guy's injuries anymore, he has a high fever for two days, and the person who can brag to him when he wakes up doesn't need to pay attention to whether he will die or not.
This run was for most of the day, until the wheels of the Lele car completely collapsed and threw Meng Yuan straight to the grassland and grinned, Tie Xinyuan had to order to slow down the speed of the road, and almost all the Lele cars needed to change the wheels.
Meng Yuanzhi limped in front of Tie Xinyuan and wanted to ask a question under the support of Wei Chiwen, but saw that Tie Xinyuan's hands were still trembling slightly, and couldn't help but be angry, and comforted him: "Don't panic, the Liao people don't know that I did it, I have left Longshou Mountain alone during the day, and I sneaked in at night." ” Tie Xinyuan thumped his head and said, "The lives of twenty-six Liao State officials are not even a single hair of yours in my eyes.
What are you risking killing them for?
If you fall into it......"
Tie Xinyuan's words made Meng Yuanzhi's heart warm, and he patted his chest and said: "I, Meng Yuanzhi, can't die, don't worry." ” Tie Xinyuan shook his head and said, "You may not know how serious the injuries on your back were when you came back.
The two feathered arrows that hit you are armor-piercing cones, and if it weren't for the distance and lack of strength, you would have been shot through by those two arrows.
Even so, you're bleeding a lot, and when I picked you up, you really looked like you were dying.
I took a knife and slashed the frostbitten rotten flesh on your back, and you were unconscious, and you slept in the dark.
Even when you were given a silk thread to stitch up your wound, you only snorted twice.
Lao Meng, our lives are very valuable, don't waste them on these meaningless things.
If you kill dozens of officials in the Liao State, they will immediately have hundreds of officials waiting to fill their positions. ” Meng Yuanzhi grabbed his hair and said in annoyance: "Could it be that what Lao Tzu did at the risk was useless?"
” Tie Xinyuan threw Meng Yuanzhi a small silver kettle and said, "Why is it useless?"
If I were your chief, I would drink with you for three days and three nights, and drink a damn pleasure for your deeds.
Under the legend of the assassins, your Meng Yuanzhi's behavior should be glorious for thousands of years, and the joy cannot be increased!
” Meng Yuan straightened his white teeth, laughed and patted Tie Xinyuan's shoulder and said, "Happy, right?"
I knew you would like it. ” After speaking, he twisted the lid of the silver fox, drank the wine syrup inside, and then continued to laugh with Tie Xinyuan.
After laughing, Meng Yuan asked directly: "The piece of paper you gave me with a squirrel painted on it, I left it in the hole in the ground, and you haven't told me what the words on that piece of paper mean?"
” Tie Xinyuan smiled: "That's a Persian proverb - where am I not going to climb?"
” "What do you mean?"
"The proverbs of Hawthorne, the old man of the mountains!"
