It was precisely because she figured out the reason why Yeli Heishi was not in the army that Shu E felt even more unbelievable.

If he wanted to hide the traces of Yeli Heishi and make a cover for him to go to Liao to report to the Liao Lord, it couldn't be simpler for Li Yuanhao.

But—

Why does Li Yuanhao want to use himself as a disguise?

Yeli Heishi violated military discipline, was beaten with a military stick, and was imprisoned, the reason for all this was because he injured Shu'e, a Han man, and this person suddenly attacked Li Yuanhao at that time.

Shu E couldn't help but be surprised, although she repeatedly persuaded herself not to look at it, she still couldn't help but glance at Li Yuanhao with doubt, as if she was exploring, as if asking, but her pretty face still couldn't help but blush.

Li Yuanhao's eyes met Shu E's gaze, as if he had seen through her thoughts, smiled at Shu E, and said, "Yes, it's Yeli Heishi." ”

Shu E was embarrassed in her heart, and hurriedly looked away.

I saw that the look on Lu Ping's face changed from anger to sadness, but there was never a trace of hatred towards Shu E. After a long time, Lu Ping sighed softly and said sadly: "Master Cao, forgive me for not having the ability to tell your intentions, but what I promised you, I must help you do it in the end." ”

Shu E was very sad in her heart, but she didn't know how to defend herself, or she just didn't want to defend herself. Shu E knew that she had deceived Lu Ping after all, so that she had many misunderstandings. But there must be a conclusion in the end, Princess Xingping was going to marry Li Yuanhao. At this moment, all the justifications are meaningless, and it is just in vain to make Lu Ping sad again.

"Li Yuanhao, let Gongzi Cao go." Lu Ping took her eyes off Shu E and said to Li Yuanhao.

Shu E's heart moved suddenly, Lu Ping, after all, as the princess of Da Liao, asked Li Yuanhao to let herself go. Shu E only felt a faint pain in her heart, and she couldn't imagine that she could go back after all, but it was at the cost of Lu Ping losing trust in herself.

"Did Princess Xingping promise to return to Liao?" Li Yuanhao smiled at Lu Ping.

"What!" Lu Ping's eyebrows were like frost: "If I don't promise to go back to Liao, won't the general let him go?" ”

Shu E was also surprised in her heart, thinking that since Lu Ping would reveal her identity in front of Li Yuanhao, she was naturally ready to return to Liao, but after listening to Lu Ping's words, Shu E suddenly thought that Lu Ping had decided to run away, and I am afraid it would not be so easy to turn back.

Sure enough, Shu E heard Lu Ping say again: "I ran away before you went to greet your relatives, presumably you should also know the reason for this." ”

Li Yuanhao's face was slightly gloomy, and he said: "The first lord of the Liao State, Emperor Wenwu Daxiaoxuan [Note: that is, Liao Shengzong] personally promised to marry, and the princess left the country less than two months after the death of the first lord. If I hadn't happened to meet the princess, how would I have waited until I arrived in Liao Kingdom and met your brother in the future? The princess left without permission, but left her father and brother somewhere, did the princess really ignore Liaoxia's marriage covenant as child's play? ”

Lu Pingden said angrily: "It's not that I treat the agreement between the two countries of Liaoxia as child's play, but that the two countries of Liaoxia have made an agreement like this, but they put me in the middle for me to practice!" Your father hastily came to Liao to propose marriage, and my father and the emperor hastily agreed, but no one ever asked me. ”

Shu E listened to Lu Ping's words, although she also felt like a confidant in her heart, she couldn't help but laugh, the Song people are the most important etiquette, and the marriage of children is always the order of the parents, how can they ask the wishes of their children.

"So the princess simply ran away, ignoring the covenant between the two countries." Li Yuanhao said in a deep voice.

Lu Ping's face was slightly red, as if he had been told that he had broken his heart, but he said loudly: "Li Yuanhao, let me tell you, the alliance between the two countries is a matter of two countries, and it was set by your father and my father, not with me, and I have never agreed to anyone, so you don't have to tell me." Besides, my father, the emperor, was a little indulgent to me when he was alive, and he never insisted on disobeying me, and now that my brother is on the throne, he will not force me. It's just that at that time, the whole country was worried about my father's illness......"

When Lu Ping said this, his eyes were red, as if he remembered that his father was seriously ill and died, but then he clenched his fists and said: "Later, it was my brother who ascended the throne and was entangled in all kinds of affairs, so I never made it clear to my brother. ”

Lu Ping said with a smile and continued: "Since you must tell me what is going on, then it's okay, I will go to Liao with your army and explain it to my brother in person with you." You don't have to bother to send someone to Nanjing City to report the news, how about it? ”

Lu Ping was suddenly happy and angry, laughing and angry, and even said that Li Yuanhao had no way at all, sighed softly, and a helpless smile appeared on Fang Cai's calm face.

"The princess insists on refusing to marry, and my Xia Kingdom naturally doesn't dare to be strong, but forgive me for asking the princess." Li Yuanhao had a faint smile on his face, and his deep eyes had a look of bamboo in his chest, and he said: "The princess went to Liao with me to meet the lord of Liao, I don't know how the princess will explain?" ”

The expression on Lu Ping's face changed from smug to melancholy, from smiling to sad, but with a little anger, he said, "I want you to meddle in your affairs!" ”

"When Lord Liao asked the princess, did the princess answer the same way?" Li Yuanhao said with a smile: "The princess refuses to marry me, but she must have a place for life, even if the Liao lord dotes on the princess and wishes to fulfill the princess's wishes, the princess must also show the Liao lord that it is." ”

Lu Ping glared at Li Yuanhao, but her eyes passed over Shu E's face, and she only heard her say sadly: "What else do I want, I will stay in Nanjing City forever for the rest of my life, and I will never marry." ”

Shu E's face flushed hotly when she saw Lu Ping's eyes, and she really didn't know how to explain to Lu Ping in front of Li Yuanhao.

Shu E was embarrassed, and suddenly heard someone outside the door whispering: "What's the matter?" But it turned out to be Wei Mu's voice.

Shu E was stunned and glanced back at the place where the voice came from, and said to Li Yuanhao: "It's the general's wife." I don't know why she went and came back. ”

Li Yuanhao nodded silently, and did not answer, only listened to the voice of another person outside the tent and said: "Back to the crown princess, the villain has something to tell the prince." ”

Wei Mushi said in a low voice: "The prince has something important at the moment, so he can't be disturbed. ”

But I heard the man say: "Then bother the princess to report, and her subordinates have an urgent military situation to report." ”

The three people in the tent were silent for a while, but they heard that there was silence outside for a while, and they didn't know if Wei Mushi had agreed to the soldier's words.

Wei Mushi seemed to be silent for a moment, suddenly lifted the soft curtain of the tent, came in and said to Shu E and Lu Ping, "You two, please come with me." ”
