Xiao Feng was on guard when he suddenly heard the sound of a gong, as if a porcelain cup had been broken in a quiet secret room. Everyone was so startled by this sound that their hearts skipped a beat. Before everyone could react, dozens of sharp arrows attacked everyone like wasps that had escaped from their nest, and several people were shot through on the spot.

Jin Tieshan reacted quickly and shouted: "Fish Scale Formation!" Everyone immediately gathered into a large circle, protecting Nanxian's cart and a few lightly wounded people in the middle.

Two more rounds of arrow rain followed. Due to preparation, these attacks did not have much effect.

Xiao Feng jumped out of the car window when the first round of arrows hit, and also saved two convoy members who couldn't dodge. Although Jin Tieshan was surprised by Xiao Feng's agility, he didn't bother to inquire about these details at this time. .

As the arrow rain subsided, many figures appeared one after another in the mountain stream.

Xiao Feng picked up a fallen arrow cluster and recognized the extraordinary origin of the arrow just after looking at it: it turned out to be the wolf tooth arrow commonly used by the Liao army! Xiao Feng did not know how many battles he fought with the Liao Kingdom during those years in the Beggar Clan. He knew that the Liao Army was well-armed and even better than the Song Army. Now, the origin of the other party was clearly revealed.

Jin Tieshan also looked unhappy. Although he was a top-notch expert, there were only a few dozen people on his side. On the cliffs on both sides and in front of the valley, there were hundreds of people standing at least, and dozens of strong bows were already drawn. Open, ready for another round of attacks at any time.

Although Jin Tieshan already knew the origin of the other party, he did not clarify it. Instead, he pretended to be calm and asked: "I wonder who is blocking the road? If you are here for money, I am willing to pay for the toll. Please, brothers on the road. Get out of the way.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a wild laughter sounded in the valley: "Hahahaha, Jin Tieshan, are you really good at telling jokes and paying for travel? Okay, just leave the people in the big car behind. For the sake of many years of acquaintance, , the rest of you can go back the way you came, I promise to restrain you guys and not hurt you at all!"

"Ren Xian? You actually took refuge in the King of Chu? Your Majesty is so kind to you, why did you take refuge in Yelu Chongyuan!"

Jin Tieshan's expression turned completely cold when he saw the visitor. The man was in his early forties, wearing a scribe's scarf, with a fair complexion, and a carefully groomed mustache. He looked like a complete scribe.

The middle-aged scribe who was called Renxian by Jin Tieshan laughed after hearing Jin Tieshan's words: "Your Majesty? Are you treating me badly? A tyrant who can even kill his only biological son and his first wife, everyone in the Liao Dynasty has long been I am disgusted with this foolish king. I serve His Highness the King of Chu so that my century-old foundation of Daliao will not be ruined in the hands of this tyrant! Don’t think that I don’t know what you want to do when you go to the Western Regions this time. Isn’t it just that you want to hang out on the Kunlun Mountains? Did he establish contact with the Demon Sect? He also sent Princess Nanxian? This foolish king was also ill and sought medical treatment."

Xiao Feng heard words such as "Your Majesty", "King Chu" and "Princess", and then he realized that the people traveling with him these days were actually the clan of Daliao. From this, it seemed that a war was brewing within the Liao Kingdom. Earth-shattering turmoil.

It turns out that Xingzong, the previous emperor of the Liao Kingdom, and Yelu Chongyuan, the current king of the southern court of the Liao Kingdom, were brothers from the same mother.

When Xingzong of Liao came to the throne, his mother, Queen Mother Fatian, manipulated the government affairs. In order to satisfy her desire for power, she conspired to depose Xingzong and replace him with Chongyuan while Xingzong of Liao was hunting. Chongyuan discovered his mother's conspiracy, so he Secretly told Xingzong the news. Xingzong was able to prepare and defeated Queen Mother Fatian's conspiracy in one fell swoop.

Xingzong was grateful for his younger brother's kindness. One time when the two brothers were drinking, he made a promise to Chongyuan that after a hundred years, Chongyuan would inherit the throne. However, after Xingzong died, the throne of Liao Kingdom was finally passed to his son Yelu Hongji. Yelu Hongji then named Yelu Chongyuan the emperor's uncle, and promised that the throne would be inherited by the emperor's uncle.

Just imagine that the throne that Xingzong Jinkou personally promised did not go to Chongyuan. Now that Chongyuan is old, he has to wait for his nephew's throne to pass to his hands. Isn't it the most ridiculous thing in the world?

Therefore, within the Liao Kingdom, the conflict between the Emperor's uncle and His Majesty was almost a semi-open secret among the Liao royal family. Unfortunately, on the one hand, the emperor was indeed in the wrong, and the division was unknown, and on the other hand, the King of Chu was in charge of the South Courtyard and held most of the military power of the Liao Kingdom. This resulted in a deadlock.

Over the years, the King of Chu secretly recruited talents and brought a group of martial arts masters under his command. The Emperor of Daliao just pretended not to know and let him go. He only cared about hunting all day long, and the government became increasingly corrupt.

Jin Tieshan said angrily: "You are a bastard who has no king and no father. As a member of the clan, you actually dare to speak rudely to His Majesty!"

Yelvren smiled first and said: "Jin Tieshan, although your surname is Han, you are also from our Daliao nation. Why do you keep talking about the Han people's fictitious benevolence, justice and morality? If these are useful, the Battle of Chanyuan a hundred years ago, The Song Dynasty will not let our Daliao iron cavalry come to the city and pay tribute every year. For hundreds of years since the founding of the Liao Dynasty, the descendants and the royal family have jointly governed the country. Now Yelu Hongji kills even the queen without permission, which has long lost the hearts of the people. . Today you are already a turtle in a urn. Considering the many years of acquaintance, how about you put down your weapons and hand over Princess Nanxian to us?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the car curtain behind him slowly opened, and Nanxian walked out slowly wearing a military uniform. Facing such a dangerous situation, she only had a calm expression on her face, without any hint of panic.

Yelvren saw Nanxian show up first and chuckled: "I have been hiding in the car for so long and finally show up, my eldest niece."

Nanxian bowed slightly as a salute: "Uncle Zong has set up such a large formation to wait here, how can I not show up?"

In the autumn wind in the north of the Great Wall, Nanxian was wearing silver and white armor, and his black-and-red cloak behind him sounded like a flag. One of her bare hands is clasped on a beautifully decorated scimitar, and her whole body is like a Valkyrie appearing on the battlefield.

Nan Xian looked at his tribe, with a calm expression: "I'd like to trouble you all to leave your homes and careers and go to this area with Nan Xian. What happened today all happened because of Nan Xian and has nothing to do with you. Nan Xian should take one person as a hostage. , keep everyone safe."

Nanxian spoke softly, and all the tribesmen showed unbearable looks on their faces. Thinking of Nanxian's lenient treatment of others, and his loyalty to the emperor, everyone gradually calmed down, and no one moved a step.

Yelvren saw that this trick didn't work, and his face darkened: after all, although the opponent's number was small, their individual skills were better than his own. If he really used it, it would be bad if someone took advantage of it and ran away.

Yelvren said first: "In that case, you might as well make a bet with me. If you win, I will get out of the way and let you leave. How about that?"
