Such a tough assassin, unless a professional assassin commits suicide, how can an ordinary person do it?
Yang Yanqi opened the assassin's mouth fiercely, hoping to let the blood flow out of the mouth so as not to fill his throat and cause the assassin to suffocate to death.
Shi Wei looked at him coldly, looking indifferent.
"What are you still staring at? Why don't you help me quickly? If this assassin dies, how can we find out who was behind it!" Yang Yanqi shouted anxiously.
Shi Wei sneered, waved his hands and said, "Let him die. I already know who instigated it."
Yang Yanqi was startled, wondering why he could determine who the murderer was without asking.
But she also knew that Shi Wei was smart, so since he was so confident, she had already made up his mind.
At that moment, Yang Yanqi ignored the assassin and let him be filled with his own blood. After a few twitches, he died.
"Don't you already know who is behind the scenes? Who is it?" Yang Yanqi urged.
When Shi Wei was about to speak, someone came from outside to report that it was Yeluxiu, an important minister of the Liao Kingdom, who had heard that Shi Wei had been assassinated and came to visit him.
Shi Wei raised the corner of his mouth, "The news is so good, please invite him over."
Not a moment later, heavy footsteps were heard, and Brother Yelvxiu came with a group of Liao people.
Brother Yeluxiu is dressed in military uniform, with a strong back and a strong waist, holding a scimitar in his hand.
The Liao warriors behind him were all fully armed and heavily armored, and they all looked fierce.
Shi Wei saw this scene. I wonder if your mother-in-law is here to visit me. People who don¡¯t know better think that you are here to confiscate your family, exterminate your clan, and raise an army to investigate.
"We were not well protected and the stone envoy was frightened." Brother Yelvxiu strode forward and slightly cupped his hands.
Shi Wei also cupped his hands and smiled and said: "This official is blessed with great fortune, and not a single hair was damaged. General Lao Yelu is worried."
Brother Yelvxiu glanced at the messy house and said, "I don't know if the assassin is alive. If so, please hand it over to us. I will interrogate him strictly and find out the mastermind behind it."
"What a pity. Those assassins were too vulnerable, and they were all killed by my men." Shi Wei sighed.
While Shi Wei was speaking, his eyes were constantly observing Brother Yelvxiu.
When he mentioned that all the assassins had been killed, Brother Yeluxiu had a cold look on his face. There was an obvious flash of a different look.
A look of secret joy.
That look disappeared in a flash, and Brother Yelvxiu immediately showed regret and sighed: "It's such a pity that you didn't leave anyone alive. I'm afraid it's hard to investigate this person who died without any evidence."
Shi Wei said disapprovingly: "Forget it if we can't find out. Anyway, it doesn't matter if we know who the real murderer is. I am protected by the elites of the Song Dynasty. Even if they send ten times more people, they will never come back."
He is extremely confident. It was more like showing off to Brother Yelvxiu.
Brother Yelvxiu frowned and sneered: "It seems that Shi Shi has a master under his command. I don't know what kind of person he is."
Shi Wei waved his hand and called the Yang brothers and sisters over.
He pointed at the two people and introduced: "These two are the children of the old general Yang Ye of Hedong. The lower officials are protected by the generals of the Yang family, so how can they be afraid of a few assassins?"
Shi Wei pointed out that the Yang family praised the Yang family very highly in front of the Liao people, and the Yang brothers and sisters all looked proud.
"But when Brother Yeluxiu heard Yang Ye's name, he said disdainfully: "Who am I? It turns out that I am a surrendered general of the Han Kingdom. Although Yang Ye is not a loyal and martyr, he does have some martial arts skills."
He is openly mocking the Yang family.
Before Yang Yanzhao could react, Yang Yanqi was already angry, and her beautiful eyebrows were glaring, ready to explode.
But Shi Wei glanced at her and signaled her not to be provoked casually.
Yang Yanqi gritted his teeth. Hidden for now.
Shi Wei then smiled and said: "Hedong and the Song Dynasty are both countries of the Han people. General Yang surrendered to the Song Dynasty as a Han. He sacrificed small righteousness for the great righteousness. He is actually a model for us Han people. I am also a high official to the old general. Absolute reverence.¡±
Shi Wei¡¯s eloquent words helped the Yang family regain their face. The Yang brothers and sisters felt comfortable listening to it, and their faces became a little better.
When it comes to eloquence, Brother Yelvxiu is naturally no match for Shi Wei. When Shi Wei counterattacked like this, he didn't know what to say.
After being silent for a moment with a straight face, Brother Yelvxiu cupped his hands and said, "With such masters protecting Shi Shi, there is no problem with his safety. Then I won't disturb Shi Shi's rest and take my leave."
Brother Yelvxiu did not wait for Shi Wei to return the favor, and strode away with his group of warriors.
Looking at Brother Yelvxiu's background, Yang Yanqi curled his lips and hummed: "He's quite impressive, and he dares to say that our Yang family is not good enough. Who is he? If it wasn't for your sake, I would teach him a lesson." ¡±
"Don't worry, sooner or later you will have a chance to fight him." Shi Wei said with a smile.
Shi Wei¡¯s words had a different meaning. He vaguely felt that the Liao Kingdom would not let go of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun in the end. In that case, the Song Dynasty would have to use force to take them back.
In that case, as a veteran general Yang Ye who is very familiar with the Liao Kingdom, he will definitely serve as a pioneer in the war against Liao.
And Brother Yelvxiu is an important general of the Liao Kingdom. By that time, a fight between the two of them will probably be inevitable.
"It's a pity that Shi Wei couldn't say it clearly. After all, his mission at the moment is to try his best to promote a peaceful solution to the Yanyun problem. Talking about starting a war from his mouth as an envoy will definitely not be beneficial to the purpose of this trip.
Yang Yanqi didn¡¯t know what he meant. She was thinking about what happened before and asked again: ¡°You just now knew who was behind the scenes, and you haven¡¯t said it yet.¡±
"Why do you need to ask? You are so smart, don't you want to understand?" Shi Wei raised his eyebrows and pointed in the direction where Brother Yeluxiu left.
"You mean - the man behind the scenes is this old Khitan dog?" Yang Yanqi suddenly said in shock.
Shi Wei glanced sideways at his surroundings and whispered: "It's enough to know, why bother to say it."
Hearing what he said, Yang Yanqi further confirmed her guess.
In fact, before the last assassin committed suicide, Shi Wei had already guessed the so-called behind-the-scenes instigator. To be precise, it should be the "group" of behind-the-scenes instigators.
The building was heavily guarded by Liao troops on all sides, and the building was patrolled by its own troops. However, those assassins were able to bypass such a tight defense and kill directly to the room where they collapsed. This is unreasonable in itself. Things.
It would be fine if those assassins were as powerful as Yang Yanqi in martial arts, but judging from their skills, they could only be regarded as elite soldiers at best.
There is only one reason why such a group of assassins with limited abilities can pass through the defense lines without anyone noticing and sneak into the building to assassinate themselves.
That is this group of assassins, basically sent by the Liao Kingdom.
Only in this way can they successfully pass through the outer Liao defense line, and with the help of the eyes and ears installed by the Liao people inside the building, they can successfully approach Shi Wei.
And just after the assassination happened, brother Yelvxiu came in a hurry, faster than the speed of light.
This shows that Brother Yelvxiu was well prepared for this assassination. He heard that the assassination failed and was afraid that the assassin would be captured alive, so he revealed the truth, so he rushed over to take away the victim alive.
The reason why Brother Yeluxiu assassinated him, Shi Wei, was simply to use this drastic method to anger the Song Dynasty, so that the Emperor of the Song Dynasty was so angry that he voluntarily gave up his plan to redeem the Sixteen States of Yanyun and instead used force to fight for it.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ??? Going?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? In form?with?the hawkish ministers behind him, that will play into the hands of Brother Yelvxiu.
Shi Wei has reason to believe that in addition to the assassination, the massive demonstration outside during the day was probably planned by the hawks.
Their purpose, in addition to angering the Song Dynasty, was to use the so-called public opinion to put pressure on the doves in the court, forcing them to fear public opinion and give up the idea of ??betraying the Sixteen States of Yanyun.
The body in the room was carried away, the blood stains on the wall were cleaned, and Shi Wei entered the house again.
Yang Yanqi then followed in and said in a deep voice: "Since we know the real culprit, why not report this to Emperor Liao and see what he does with the old dog."
Shi Wei shook his head and smiled: "Don't say that we don't have any evidence. Even if we did, Brother Yeluxiu would only claim that it was framed. He is the uncle of the Lord of Liao. How could the Lord of Liao punish him because of this. "
As he said that, he sat down and drank tea leisurely.
"How long has it been and you are still in the mood to drink tea?" Yang Yanqi looked anxious.
Shi Wei said calmly: "Why are you panicking? Old General Yang has never taught you how to deal with panic and remain unchanged when encountering difficulties."
While educating Yang Yanqi, he sipped a few sips of tea and praised that a land like the Liao Kingdom in the north could have such fine tea.
Shi Wei's leisurely and contented look made Yang Yanqi more and more unhappy. She sat down and pouted: "What do you think we should do? The Liao people are coming to kill us. We still have to"Can't you swallow your anger? "
It seems that Yang Yanqi was stimulated by Brother Yeluxiu's ridicule of his father just now. As if he had been given a shot of blood, he tried every possible means to make some noise.
"If you can't bear to swallow your anger, do you want me to lead you to fight out, rush into the palace and chop off the head of Emperor Liao?" Shi Wei asked back.
Yang Yanqi's murderous aura was easily blocked by Shi Wei.
Her mood calmed down a little, and she thought that Shi Wei was right. At present, her troops only had more than 300 men, but she was in Youzhou City, which was garrisoned by thousands of troops. She had succeeded in taking action quickly, but in the end The result is only to seek death.
She bit her red lips and snorted coldly: "Even if we don't kill him and turn the world upside down, we can't sit back and accept his humiliation. I think we should use the laziness of the Liao people as an excuse to pack up and go back to the Song Dynasty immediately."
"A woman is a woman, with long hair and short knowledge." Shi Wei shook his head and sighed.
When Yang Yanqi heard this sarcasm, she became very angry. Her two watery eyes glared, pretending to be angry.
Shi Wei followed but sneered: "They put on such a big show just to make us angry. If we really pack up and leave in a fit of anger, wouldn't we be playing into what they want?" (To be continued) rq
