Shangjing Road, Zuzhou, was originally the place where the Yelu family lived. It was established by the Taizu of the Liao Dynasty, Yelu Abaoji, who was named after his great-grandfather, great-grandfather and father.

However, the current Zuzhou is completely different from the Zuzhou set up by Emperor Taizu. Since the construction of Zuzhou City here, it has begun to prosper. The city is two meters high, with an inner city and a hall in the northwest corner; the east is the prefecture party, official house, Lingjinyuan, etc., and there are buildings in the four corners of Hengjie Street in the southeast, and the lower is connected to the market. It is one of the Khitan political, economic and cultural centers.

Of course, this is not only a prosperous prefecture, nor is it the place where Yelu family made its fortune, but also the first Fengling town built by the Great Liao Dynasty. The Liao Dynasty imitated the rules and regulations of the Tang Dynasty and built a city wall in front of the emperor's tombs as a Fengling town that guards and worships the tombs.

The role of all this Zuzhou City is not only to commemorate the ancestors, but also to guard them. It is the spiritual destination of the Liao Dynasty and also the place where the ancestors' heroes sleep. No one is allowed to disturb them without authorization.

And that's true. Yelujia and Yelu Hongjicai chose Zuzhou as their place to settle down and plan. In Yelujia's opinion, Xiao Tali would never have thought that he would take the emperor to hide here. The most dangerous place is indeed the safest place.

Any nobles who were unpopular in Shangjing would be placed in the ancestral state, but it did not mean that their strength was not good. They just excluded them and asked them to take the strength of their families to guard the tombs for their ancestors.

Any Khitan who refuses this "glory" mission will be despised and contempt by his tribe members, and may even be deprived of the title of nobles and noble blood. This old custom has been passed down from the time of Taizu. Although it is not a law, it has a stronger binding force among the Khitans than the law.

However, the people here are willing to be suppressed? Obviously not. The glory of the nobles is not flowing in their blood, but in reality, in the rights held in their hands! It can be said that in Zuzhou, a still prosperous place, although they live a good life, the Khitan nobles here hope to get out of this cage and enjoy the treatment they deserve.

Yelujia valued this place. The nobles in Zuzhou had a certain number of personal soldiers and slaves. They were not alone, but had huge attendants and connections, and many tribesmen were even implicated.

This is also one of the reasons why Zuzhou is so prosperous.

Some people have money and soldiers, but they don’t have the right. This is the most ideal breeding ground for Yeluja and Yelu Hongji. They can secretly recruit people and win over power here. Once they grow stronger, they can cause trouble and tell the Queen Mother’s crimes to the world!

Yelu Hongji hoped to obtain the rights he deserved, so he did not hesitate to win over the down-and-out people of the Xiao family. Of course, this was Yelu Jia's suggestion. What they need now is all the power. No matter who these powers originally belonged to, they must win over as long as they are useful to them, but Yelu Hongji's identity cannot be exposed.

Therefore, Yelu Hongji had never seen anyone other than Yelujia and Yeluxiao, but was brought in a temple in Zuzhou, and he also listened to the reports of Yelujia and Yeluxiao as if he was sitting in the court.

Xiao Man was once one of the most outstanding juniors of the Xiao family. He was also the nephew of Xiao Hui and Xiao Tali, who should have risen to the top, should have been in power, and should have been prosperous and prosperous, but his experience was surprisingly similar to Yelu Hongji.

Xiao Man lived a life of luxury in Shangjing. He was so brave that he actually moved the daughter of the Beizhu tribe's tent. It was not a big deal. At most, marrying her home was a marriage move, but he humiliated the woman with an extraordinary identity in public, causing this princess-like strong woman to die.

In the end, the Xiao family could only put him under house arrest in Zuzhou and could not leave Zuzhou City without authorization. Even if it was hunting, it was not enough to save his life. However, for a Khitan, it was even more uncomfortable than killing it.

Xiao Man also expressed the most dissatisfaction with the Xiao family in Zuzhou, and often scolded his uncle. Even his aunt, as the queen mother, was often said to be a life-threatening victory...

Even the other nobles in Zuzhou City were unwilling to be involved with him, worried that he would be implicated again, but in the eyes of Yelujia and Yelu Xiao, he was indeed a suitable person to win over. Although he originally belonged to the Xiao family, his hatred for the Xiao family was not less than that of Yelujia and others.

Xiao Man was the only one who had seen Yelu Hong basics. When he saw the emperor appearing in Zuzhou, he stood there in shock. In fact, he just came to see the noble man Yelu Jia mentioned with a casual attitude. Who knew that he really met the emperor.

Xiao Man used to serve as a Linya Officer in Shangjing City, and also accompanied Yelu Hongjichun to hunt for a headfish banquet. Of course, he had seen Yelu Hongji. But when he saw this once high-ranking king in this temple under the Buddha statue, he felt that it was so unreal.

Soon he found a light flashing in the eyes of the emperor in front of him, a light of revenge. The intensity of this light can even melt everyone. Although he spoke kindly to him, his words were full of wooing each other. Xiao Man naturally used the donkey to explain the depression in his heart clearly, and accused the crimes of his uncle and aunt who was Shangjing.

Yelu Hongji was very satisfied, and Yelujia and others found no flaws. If they had no great hatred, they would never be so unrestrained.

After fully gaining their trust, Xiao Man asked his confidant to pass on what he saw and heard to his uncle who was far away in the capital. Do you really think that Xiao Man is a fool? Do you really think that Xiao Man is a fool who can be used?

Instead of risking the loss of his head to help the emperor to resurrect the empress dowager who is in power, it is better to take this opportunity to redeem his sins! In contrast, the latter has almost no risks and can leave the damn place in Zuzhou!

But he soon discovered that he had become a chess piece, like an arrow on a crossbow, and had to become a tool used by the empress dowager and his uncle. The secret envoy of Shangjing brought news that he had to get rid of Yelu Hongji, otherwise he would be implicated. The 50,000 soldiers of Shangjing were on the way to come...

This news almost drove Xiao Man crazy. He was just a little man who informed him, but unexpectedly he would become a "dagger" to assassinate the emperor...

There are many royal families in Zuzhou City now following Yelu Jia. They protected the small temple so much that they waited for Yelu Hongji to climb up and call back to the capital!

The hesitant Xiao Man waited for a news and said that there was hope. The 50,000 pishi army was to reach Changba five miles outside Zuzhou City!
