Do you have the strength to force me to join the Liangshan bandits?

Chapter 698 Dongxian Attendant: No Time to Explain, Your Majesty! [4 Updates, Requesting Monthly Tickets]

Yanjing, the Imperial Palace.

"father in law!"

Yelü Hui was dozing on the dragon bed when Cai Fu walked in and knelt down in front of the dragon bed with a "plop," startling Yelü Hui.

Yelü Hui got up, looking completely bewildered, and asked Cai Fu, "Son-in-law, what's going on...?"

"Father-in-law, your son-in-law knows he was wrong!"

With tears in his eyes, Cai Fu said, "My father-in-law has already done me an immense favor by marrying his daughter to me!"

"How could I be so ungrateful as to ask my father-in-law for three states? I'm utterly disrespectful!"

Yelü Hui: "Ah, this..."

Cai Fu said sincerely:

"Father-in-law, your son-in-law has decided to return the three states to you!"
"No, I have decided to annex the capital of Qi into the Liao Dynasty!"
"From this day forward, I am willing to be a great general under my father-in-law, to conquer the Song Dynasty, to fight against the Jin Dynasty, and to unify the world!"

"Good! Good! Good!"

Yelü Hui laughed heartily, got out of bed, and hugged Cai Fu:
"This is my beloved son-in-law!"

"Your Majesty, wake up!"

Just then, the voice of the Left Chancellor Youxi Bojin suddenly rang out from the side.

"I'm perfectly sober now!"

Yelü Hui was very unhappy: "It's a good thing that the prince consort is willing to turn over a new leaf..."

"Your Majesty, wake up! Wake up! Wake up!"

The voices of Right Chancellor and Grand Tutor Chu Jian, Vice Minister Ouyang, and Vice Minister Dongxian rang out simultaneously.

"Everyone shut up!"

Yelü Hui slapped his thigh in anger, then suddenly opened his eyes to find himself surrounded by heads staring at him!

Youxi Bojin, Chu Jian, Ouyang Shilang, and Dongxian Shilang are all present, but Cai Fu is not.

It was all a dream...

Yelü Hui felt a pang of loss. If it were true, how wonderful it would be for the family to be reunited!
"Your Majesty, the Jin army has invaded!"

Seeing that Yelü Hui was still in a daze, Youxi Bojin urged him anxiously:

"Let's run away!"

"what?"

Yelü Hui could hardly believe his ears:

"The Jin army has invaded? How did they invade?"

"There's no time to explain, Your Majesty!"

Dongxian, the Vice Minister, gave Ouyang, a wink, and the two brothers grabbed Yelü Hui from either side.
"Let's run for our lives!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Chu Jian earnestly advised, "Wuyan is currently blocking the Jin army; let's leave now!"

Yelü Hui reached for his dragon robe again: "At least let me wear one..."

"That's too late!"

Youxi Bojin and Chu Jian joined Dongxian and Ouyang Shilang in taking Yelü Hui away.

It was December, and December in Yanjing was very cold.

Yelü Hui didn't even have time to put on his pants before he was dragged out by four high-ranking court officials in such a nonchalant manner.

Dozens of guards and eunuchs accompanied and protected them. When they arrived outside the palace, Yelü Hui was involuntarily pushed onto a horse.

Once on horseback, Yelü Hui was almost in tears: "No, you won't even give me a saddle?"
But at this moment he had already seen it: flames soared into the sky in Yanjing City, shouts of battle rose everywhere, and the earth-shattering scene was deafening!

So Yelü Hui stopped being picky, hurriedly grabbed the horse's neck, and rode out of the city.

But when they reached the city gate, someone suddenly shouted:
"'Black Whirlwind' Li Kui is on the ground, but the emperor is right there, where is his elbow!"

"You go first!"

Ouyang, who was skilled in martial arts, led a dozen guards to meet the burly, dark-skinned man.

Seeing that the burly, dark-skinned man had no arms, Vice Minister Ouyang looked down on him and swung his sword to slash at his face!

Unexpectedly, the burly man kicked out and struck him in the chest first, sending Ouyang flying!

"Boom—" Like a cannonball fired from a gun, Vice Minister Ouyang crashed heavily into the city wall, leaving a large crater in his chest!
Youxi Bojin, Chu Jian, and Dongxian Shilang protected Yelü Hui as they escaped, but they got separated in the darkness.

"The Prime Minister? The Grand Tutor?"

As Yelü Hui ran, he sensed something was wrong. Looking around, he realized that Youxi Bojin and Chu Jian were gone.

Fortunately, Dongxian Shilang was following behind him, so Yelü Hui felt relieved and asked Dongxian Shilang:

"Where have the Prime Minister and the Grand Tutor gone?"

Dongxian Shilang comforted him, saying, "You got separated!"

"But Your Majesty need not worry, we will reunite by dawn!"

Yelü Hui thought about it and agreed. Then Dongxian Shilang said, "Your Majesty, it's too cold!"

"You're wearing too little; you'll catch a cold. Let's stop for a moment. I'll put your coat on you!"

You finally remembered?
Yelü Hui was freezing, his nose was running, but he still pretended to be coy and reluctant:
"This isn't a good idea, you're not wearing much..."

Dongxian Shilang had already stopped his horse. The two dismounted, and Dongxian Shilang took off his outer garment.

"No! I really don't want to!"

Yelü Hui took it and refused while putting it on:
"I'm a man from the north, why would I be so afraid of the cold?"

"Yes! Yes!"

As Dongxian Shilang spoke, he drew his sword and, taking advantage of Yelü Hui's back being turned as he dressed, stabbed him:

"Pfft!"

Yelü Hui instinctively tried to struggle, but Dongxian Shilang wrapped his left arm around his neck from behind!

Holding the knife in his right hand, he repeatedly moved it in and out:

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft..."

……

The next day, Jin Wuzhu's army arrived.

"Your Highness, this humble general has already captured Yanjing overnight!"

Song Jiang proudly boasted to Jin Wuzhu about his achievements:
"We captured alive a group of civil and military officials, including the Left Chancellor of Liao, Youxi Bojin, and the Right Chancellor and Grand Tutor, Chu Jian!"

"it is good!"

Jin Wuzhu was very satisfied and then asked, "Where is Yelü Hui, the wolf lord of Liao?"

Song Jiang: "They've escaped..."

"Although there are some imperfections, you have made a great contribution, and I must reward you handsomely!"

Jin Wuzhu patted Song Jiang on the shoulder, about to offer a few words of encouragement, when suddenly Dongxian Shilang rode back on horseback:

"Your Highness, I have brought the head of the Wolf King of Liao!"

"what?"

Song Jiang could hardly believe his eyes, but Dongxian Shilang really did bring Yelü Hui's head.

Jin Wuzhu was very satisfied after verifying the information and immediately fulfilled his promise, appointing Dongxian Shilang as the King of Liao and entrusting him with the defense of Yanjing!
As for Song Jiang, Jin Wuzhu also bestowed honors upon him, promoting him from Junior Marshal to Marshal.

The number of soldiers under his command was increased from 5,000 to 10,000.

Another junior marshal, You Kerong, along with his five thousand men, were assigned to Song Jiang.

You Kerong was not a Jurchen. He was born in Jiangnan, but later joined the army and went to the front lines. However, he defected to the Jurchen state.

Therefore, You Kerong was also a traitor to Song Jiang, and naturally he was close to Song Jiang, so Song Jiang was happy to take in his troops.

So Song Jiang remained the vanguard, leading 10,000 men to conquer cities and expand the territory of the Jin Kingdom.

With Yelü Hui dead, the Liao Dynasty was leaderless and in disarray.

With Song Jiang, the vanguard who was destined to defeat the Liao Kingdom, and Dongxian Shilang, the guide, Jin Wuzhu indeed swept through the Liao Kingdom with thunderous force.

On this day, the Jin army captured Yizhou.

Yizhou was located on the border between the Song and Liao dynasties, which is the present-day Baoding in Hebei.

Wanyan Wuzhu, having been invincible in the Liao Kingdom, had become arrogant and, taking advantage of Cai Fu's absence from the Central Plains, began to plot against him.
"Song Xianfeng, look, it's only a thousand miles from Yizhou to Kaifeng Prefecture in the Song Kingdom!"

"If our army marches south from here, we will break through Tokyo just as you broke through Yanjing!"
"If we kill the Southern Barbarian Emperor, wouldn't the beautiful world of the Central Plains be ours?"
