I'm the one running the game

After everyone left the Tianzhi Mountains, the wolf and the wolf did not lead the wolf pack to chase, but retreated back to the Tianzhi Mountains again.

Cui Xuan and the others were relieved, but Lu Xingshi was a little regretful.

He actually wanted the other party to launch a charge for him. At this distance, he had enough time to fire three rounds of the "Golden Crow Gun" to ensure that no wolf could successfully rush to him.

After the emergence of hot weapons, the nomadic people who were good at charging became good at singing and dancing, which shows that charging is still not as good as firearms.

After crossing the Tianzhi Mountains, there is a vast grassland. This is the territory occupied by the Dasong court from the northern barbarians. It is used as a natural pasture to raise cattle, sheep, and war horses. Most of the horses are produced in the northern frontier.

When the Dasong was just established, it was called a country full of martial virtues. If you don’t obey, you will be beaten until you obey. If you like the place, just take it.

This area in the northern frontier is also like this.

It has been three hundred years since the founding of the country. The court has gone through many generations of changes. The internal situation... Lu Xingshi is not very clear, but the Jianghu and the people are saying that there are treacherous people who deceive the emperor. The specific situation can only be known after contacting the circle of high-level officials in the court.

After everyone left, they headed non-stop to the Cuifengguan Fortress where the head of the Tiejianmen was located.

After revealing their identities, they soon met Jin Xiong, the head of the Tiejianmen. After Cui Xuan told him about the situation, Jin Xiong also sighed: "You guys, you came at the wrong time."

"Yesterday I got the news that the barbarians went south to raid the valley."

"I shouldn't have to fight against the barbarians." Lu Xingshi said. He was not a disciple of the Tiejianmen, let alone a Jianghu person. The court really couldn't control him.

Jin Xiong looked at Lu Xingshi and then nodded: "You don't need to, but you have to be careful and find a place to live in peace inside the pass."

He did not morally blackmail Lu Xingshi or oppress him with righteousness. This kind of thing is voluntary except for the corresponding obligations.

It was normal for Lu Xingshi to be unwilling.

Lu Xingshi had no sense of belonging to the Dasong Dynasty at all. As for the barbarians, they were also people, not monsters. Why should he, an outsider, get involved and cause trouble for himself?

Unless it involved himself, it was essentially murder.

If he had the ability to stop it, he would have stopped the outbreak of bloodshed, but unfortunately he didn't.

He was not sure that he could reconcile the conflict of interests between the two civilizations by himself.

Lu Xingshi did not ask for information about the rebels and the left-wingers, and it would be better to find his master and ask him when the time comes.

"Master Jin, I want to ask you about someone, the Star Picker Murong Xuan." Lu Xingshi spoke directly.

Cui Xuan was also a little surprised: "The Star Picker is your master?"

"Yes." Lu Xingshi did not deny it. This was not something shameful.

"This...I'm afraid it's a bit bad."

"The star-picking guest is at Tiange Pass, with barbarians invading in front and the King of Liao in the back."

"According to the spies, there is not much food and grass left, and we can only hold on for three days at most." Jin Xiong frowned and said.

"I remember that the King of Liao was a prince who was enfeoffed to open a palace. Why would he hinder his own frontier pass?" Lu Xingshi was puzzled.

The northern part of the Saibei is called Liaodi, and the one who was enfeoffed here is naturally the King of Liao. The throne is only inherited for one generation. After the new emperor ascends the throne, the prince will open a palace and replace the old generation.

As for the original old king, he will be recalled to Kyoto to retire, and then change a title. The title can only be inherited for three generations. After three generations, he will become a commoner. Even if you have royal blood, the royal family will not support you. You have to rely on your own ancestral property or start from scratch.

However, as a royal blood, with a family tree, many things will be much simpler.

"You may not know that it was this King of Liao who rebelled." Jin Xiong said calmly.

This scared Cui Xuan: "How is this possible? What does the King of Liao want?"

"What else can he want? Of course, the throne." Lu Xingshi complained. The King of Liao was not the crown prince. He had been given a fiefdom, so he naturally had no chance to sit on the throne.

"To be precise, he was forced to rebel."

"Since Emperor Shizong used civil officials to control the military, the power of civil officials has expanded. The King of Liao was born as a military general, so he was naturally suppressed."

"But I didn't expect that the King of Liao would directly win over the border troops in the name of clearing the court of officials, in order to change the world and break the situation of using civil officials to control the military."

"I never thought that the secret would be leaked, and then the barbarians would invade, and now I am also being roasted on the fire." Jin Xiong explained the current situation.

The King of Liao did not intend to bring foreign races into the pass. Instead, he planned to use the northern frontier as a defense line, first repel the barbarians, and then make further plans, so many people did not move.

After listening to Jin Xiong's words, Lu Xingshi looked at Jin Xiong deeply.

He noticed some problems in the other party's attitude. The Iron Sword Sect was probably a sect in the Liao King's camp. Otherwise, how could he be so safe in Cuifeng Pass?

And the entire northern frontier had already fallen into the hands of the Liao King.

Those who were held at Tiange Pass were most likely the last people to suppress the rebellion. They would either die in battle with the barbarians or surrender to the Liao King, who would then be able to send troops to rescue them immediately.

It was for this reason that the court was afraid to take further action against the Liao King. Once the Liao King gave up or led the barbarians south, the Dasong court would be in a mess.

So they arranged for the Jianghu sects to deal with the "leftists" recruited by the Liao King.

This group of ‘leftist people’, I’m afraid it’s not the famous sects in the world who have made a bet.

As for Huangjue Palace, they are also watching from the sidelines. There is no difference between the King of Liao and the Crown Prince being the emperor for Huangjue Palace. Maybe the biggest supporter of the King of Liao is Huangjue Palace.

“Thank you for telling me. I would like to ask Master Jin to help me. I want to go to Tiange Pass to find my master.” Lu Xingshi said with a bow.

Although I am trapped, I am glad that I am not dead.

“Okay, leave Cuifeng Pass and go to…” Jin Xiong pointed the way for Lu Xingshi.

“His Royal Highness the King of Liao is kind and knows military affairs. He also values ​​both civil and military affairs. If you find Senior Murong, when you can’t resist the barbarians, you can surrender to the King of Liao to save your life.”

“Senior Murong is an old man in the world and should not die on the battlefield.”

When he said this, Jin Xiong stopped acting.

Cui Xuan and others were silent. He also learned some things, such as the people who intercepted and killed them at the beginning were probably not arranged by the King of Liao, but by the court.

The purpose is to warn the leaders who are colluding with the King of Liao.

"I will tell Master." Lu Xingshi replied. He didn't really want to get involved in matters related to the court.
