In the early spring below the mountain, the snow on the mountain can still cover the horse's hooves. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Yao Xitong stops and goes, stops and goes, and it doesn't seem that he knows the way. Xiao Bao'er lazily leaned on his fingers until the sunlight was a little dazzling, and then asked, "Are you looking for a path to Beiliao?"

Yao Xitong had a kind of embarrassment of being seen through his heart, but fortunately, he was thick-skinned and his acting skills were good, and he said with an epiphany: "Is the north direction Beiliao?

Northern Liao is called Northern Liao because it is in the north, and Yao Xitong is ...... Xiao Bao'er also cooperated, "I know the path, and I can show you the way, but you have to promise me two things." ”

Yao Xitong didn't dare to promise casually, so he only said: "Let's hear it." ”

"First, after going deep into Northern Liao, you must wear women's clothing. Second, I'm going to see a friend who saved my life, and I've promised to go back and play with her. ”

Xiao Baoer's conditions were a little different from Yao Xitong's imagination, and he was very puzzled about wearing women's clothes. He asked, "Why are you wearing women's clothes?"

"Don't you know that the Spring Festival of the Central Plains people is a coming-of-age day in Beiliao?"

Of course, Yao Xitong knew that this trip to Beiliao was a coming-of-age festival. Since losing the trace of Su Su, he is very worried about the two sons of the king of Northern Liao, and the righteous son is just that, if there is a problem with the concubine, the heir to the throne of Northern Liao is Xiao Bao'er.

This girl is thinking about Qingshanjun, if she is allowed to inherit the throne of Northern Liao, with her help, Qingshanjun will take the throne of the Song Lord, or the throne of Great Xia, it will be easy.

He said: "I am not very familiar with the culture of Northern Liao, and I really don't know that the Spring Festival in the Central Plains will be in the same period as the adult excerpt of Northern Liao." ”

Xiao Bao'er continued: "During the Coming-of-Age Festival, the best young men in Northern Liao will wander the depths of the grassland to hunt animals. During this special period, except for business travelers and envoys, the people of the Central Plains basically did not set foot in the border of the Northern Liao. When Great Xia and Northern Liao did not sign a peace treaty, hunting the Central Plains people was also counted as a part of the Adult Festival. We're going to find Xiaobai, who lives deep in the grassland. If the Northern Liao men accidentally see the lonely Central Plains people, you will be used by them to sacrifice the knife. ”

Xiao Bao'er's explanation gave Yao Xitong a new understanding of the barbarism of the Northern Liao, and the slaughter of the Central Plains was actually their national tradition, no wonder they were called barbarians. It is better to travel thousands of miles than to read ten thousand books, thinking that he will soon set foot in the territory of Northern Liao, he did not ask Xiao Bao'er in detail where his friend was, but only asked: "The princess actually has a friend, and she is also the daughter of a certain tribe." ”

"Sort of, I'm curious about what her husband will be like, whether she can surrender her, Xiaobai is fierce. ”

Yao Xitong smiled, things gather by like, and people by groups. Xiao Bao'er's temperament is so bad, her friend's must not be good.

"Princess, I agree to all your conditions, and please lead the way. ”

The road is at the foot, and the cliffs that seem to have no way to go, just dig up the snow and cut the gravel, and you can vaguely see a sheep's intestine path. This trail was dug in the heyday of the Liao State and was an important passage for Bactria merchants to smuggle iron tools to the Liao State.

Xiao Baoer stood aside to pull weeds and tease Doc, and Yao Xitong rolled up his sleeves to do manual work.

The moment the two stepped onto the path, a large bird croaked and flew away over their heads. The bird's call was a little oozing, and the bean eagle in Yao Xitong's sleeve pocket moved restlessly, as if it wanted to escape from this place. He stretched out his hand to soothe the bean eagle and asked, "What kind of bird flew away just now?"

"Chill Bird. ”

Yao Xitong had never heard of this kind of bird, and he was a little face-loving, so he didn't continue to ask about the habits of this bird and why the bean eagle became restless.

The cold bird was used to communicate in the Northern Liao army, and the bird trainer often kept the bean eagle and the cold in one place, and if the bean eagle flew slower, it would become the food of the cold horn. Yao Xitong didn't ask, Xiao Baoer naturally didn't say.

Yao Xitong led the horse and followed behind Xiao Bao'er, and said with great emotion, "This mountain road was dug by the Liao Kingdom, if the Liao Kingdom is still there, I am afraid that Great Xia will not have such a comfortable life at all." ”

Xiao Bao'er replied lukewarmly, "Do you think Beiliao is easy to bully?" If it weren't for ......" Suddenly she stopped talking, and only the echo of horses' hooves remained on the silent mountain road.

Yao Xitong looked at her slender waist and fell into deep thought, the person who spoke straight finally had scruples, what was the matter? Is this incident causing the king of Northern Liao to ignore the government and drink all day long?

The two walked along the mountain road for a long time, and stayed in a cave at the end of the mountain road before dark. Yao Xitong unpacked his bags on horseback and handed a set of Northern Liao dresses to Xiao Bao'er, "I asked Uncle He to buy it, you can try it." ”

The costumes of Northern Liao are mainly robes, with left sides, round necks, and narrow sleeves. The robe has a pimple-like button, and the straps are tied at the chest and droop down to the knees. Yao Xitong prepared a girl's costume for Xiao Bao'er, a bright red cross-collared left robe, embroidered with royal blue Ma Lanhua, the robe belt is the same color as Ma Lanhua, and along with the dress there is a pair of sheepskin boots engraved with Jin Laomei.

Xiao Baoer looked at the familiar and unfamiliar dress, and went back to the time when she was six years old in a trance. The king of Northern Liao did not let her wear red, and often said that red was the color of blood, and the grassland did not need this color. A few years later, she finally understood the mind of the King of Northern Liao, and that red was not the color of blood. The king of Northern Liao doesn't like red, just because she wears red and looks like the princess of Northern Liao.

Seeing that she had been holding her dress in a daze, Yao Xitong asked, "Don't you like it?" Or is it inconvenient for you to change it when I'm here?"

"I only wore red yesterday, and now it's again, I don't wear it, it's greasy!"

Yao Xitong had already prepared, and in a blink of an eye, he took out a set of white dresses, "Isn't this tired?"

"I don't want to comb my hair!" In order to better ride horses, Northern Liao women rarely wore buns, and they liked to braid their hair.

If it is spring and summer, many unknown flowers on the grassland can be inserted into the braid, and every girl seems to be decorated with the grassland, always vibrant. On the contrary, the girl in Daxia likes dead things very much, and Xiao Bao'er seems that although the hosta golden fork is beautiful, how can it be so beautiful that it lives a fresh life.

"Come here, I'll help you comb your hair, what kind of braids you like. ”

Xiao Bao'er looked at him suspiciously, "You also know a little bit about the Northern Liao hairstyle?"

"This is natural. ”

Yao Xitong has a pair of skillful hands, not only helped Xiao Bao'er comb her braids, but also removed the gold and silver threads tied with jade pendants and tied them in her hair. When she changed into her dress, Yao Xitong couldn't help but secretly praise that the first beauty of the grassland is by no means a waste of fame.

The two rested for a while, Yao Xitong wanted to explore the cave with a torch, but Xiao Baoer persuaded him to give up.

"This is a natural cave, the branch roads in it are intricate, you just follow me, tomorrow morning we can go to the territory of Beiliao." ”

Her self-confidence surprised Yao Xitong a little, how could a girl who left her homeland at the age of nine remember such a complicated route? This is one of the escape routes prepared for her by the King of Northern Liao?

Out of the cave, Yao Xitong carefully looked around, and suddenly realized that the waterfall not far from the entrance of the cave was actually the source of the Spring River. Thanks to the cold weather, the waterfall has long been frozen, otherwise the rumbling sound of falling water is enough to scare off people who want to enter Beiliao from here.

When going down the mountain, Xiao Bao'er drove the horse, Yao Xitong sat behind and hugged her waist tightly, and asked: "When will you enter the grassland?" Do you want to help me find a set of women's clothes first, I don't want to be caught by the Northern Liao man to sacrifice the knife." ”

"We went to Pudabara first, then to the grasslands. ”
