This was the morning of the second day after they first met Lu Ping, and after Tanglin and Shu E came out of the inn in the stone building, Lu Ping caught up with them again.

Along the way, Shu E thought about a lot of details, many details after meeting Lu Ping, and when the confusion and doubts gradually became clear, Lu Ping's words made Shu E slowly release the fog around Lu Ping, and gradually saw her identity clearly.

That sentence was an oath by Lu Ping.

Lu Ping said: "I swear to the god of fire and the god of heaven that I will escort Brother Tanglin and Gongzi Cao to walk smoothly on the land of Li Deming, the king of Great Xia, and protect the integrity of the two of them. If you break this oath, you will teach me to be punished by the god of fire and freeze to death at the bottom of the snowy mountains. ”

Those who recognize Li Deming's identity as the king of Daxia are either party members or Khitans of the Liao State.

Because the one who gave the identity of Li Deming, the leader of the Xia people, the king of Great Xia, was the Liao State. And the title given to Li Deming by the Great Song Dynasty is just a king of Pingxi.

But if it is really a party member, Li Deming and Li Yuanhao father and son have always been worshiped as gods, Li Deming and Li Yuanhao father and son are their kings and their princes.

Therefore, at that time, Shu E was sure in her heart that this Lu Ping was from the northern Liao country.

Moreover, it is a person who can call the name of Li Deming, the king of Xia, a person who is gorgeously dressed and has an amazing appearance, a person with a noble bearing and extraordinary manners, and a person who comes from the north on a horse.

That day, Shu'e was also in the moment of the calcium carbide firelight, thinking of Liaoguo, thinking of Yelu, thinking of Princess Xingping, and thinking of Lu Ping. All these things came together to make Shu E have doubts about Lu Ping's identity.

Shu E then re-examined Lu Ping's clothing, that style, although there is a bit of Han clothing, but it has not taken off the customs of the Khitans, Song and Liao are adjacent to each other, and the costumes of the people of the two countries are interconnected, which is a reasonable thing. However, the heavy color of Lu Ping's clothes, as well as the black on the piping and waist, are clearly the colors advocated by the Khitan aristocracy.

And as we get along, this suspicion is also being confirmed little by little.

Shu E couldn't see Li Yuanhao's look beside her, but the looks of Wei Mushi and Lu Ping on the other side were all in her eyes.

Wei Mushi had an unbelievable look of surprise, as well as a mixture of anger and sadness, but Lu Ping quickly calmed down after a short period of surprise, and there seemed to be no expression on his face, but he said lightly to Shu E: "It turned out that Tanglin told you." ”

Shu E was afraid that Li Yuanhao would hear something related to Tanglin again, knowing that he thought of it himself, Li Yuanhao would definitely be suspicious of himself, but he still shook his head and said, "No." ”

Lu Ping glanced at Shu E deeply, with a lot of resentment on her face, and said, "It turns out that you have already guessed it." ”

Shu E nodded again.

Wei Mu Shanqing's face was full of strange looks, and if he didn't believe Shu E's words, he clearly heard Lu Ping acquiesce in the matter, and clearly saw that after Li Yuanhao glanced at Lu Ping, his eyes swept over that Cao Gongzi again, and then he looked to the side with his hands, as if he had already known the way.

Lu Ping's expression was a little angry, and she struggled hard to get close to Shu E, and said loudly: "You already know the Dao, you know the Dao, then why are you still following me!" You want to get me back, don't you! ”

Shu E was puzzled by Lu Ping's words for a while, and said casually: "I follow you, obviously you follow me." ”

Lu Ping was furious, shook off the hand of Wei Mushi, who was stunned, and stepped forward and said, "You ......" But as soon as the words came out, it seemed that something choked his throat, and he choked with his breath, and he couldn't say a word, but his face was crimson, and his big eyes were instantly overflowing with tears, but at the moment when the tears were about to burst out, Lu Ping gritted his teeth and didn't let the tears flow down after all.

When Shu E saw Lu Ping like this, she regretted in her heart that she shouldn't have spoken casually, and wanted to dissuade her with good words, but there were many irrelevant people standing next to her. Shu E saw Wei Mu's depressed expression, and he couldn't listen to his words anymore, so he turned to Li Yuanhao and said, "General, this ......"

Li Yuanhao understood, and said to several close attendants of the Wei Mu clan behind him: "Send the crown princess to my camp to rest." ”

Four women stepped forward and helped Wei Mushi, who was stunned. Wei Mushi was shocked: "What are you doing? ”

One of the attendants whispered, "The prince has ordered us to send you to his camp to rest." ”

Wei Mushi looked up at Lu Ping, looked at Shu E, and his eyes fell on Li Yuanhao's face, and said slowly: "If Miss Lu is the princess of Da Liao, the identity of this Cao Gongzi is very suspicious, if she is not the princess of Da Liao, why should the two of them collude in advance to tell such a big lie." They always come with the intention of being unfavorable to my Great Xia. After speaking, he walked to Li Yuanhao's side, increased his forehead with his hand, bowed to Li Yuanhao, and said: "The prince is wise, and he will definitely be able to distinguish right from wrong, but this Han man is cunning, I hope His Royal Highness will not be bullied." ”

Li Yuanhao nodded, stretched out his hand to signal Wei Mushi to get up, and then said to Po Chaoding: "You also go down, and tomorrow you will escort the princess back." ”

Wei Mushi stood up, stretched out his hand to look at the arrow held in his right hand, smiled sadly, and whispered to Li Yuanhao: "You marry ten more women, a hundred women, after all, I am the only concubine of yours." You marry ten more women, a hundred women, and after all, you are still my crown prince. ”

When Shu E was both moved and embarrassed by Wei Mushi's words, she suddenly saw Wei Mushi turn around, holding the arrow high in her hand and said to Lu Ping: "If you have the intention of framing the prince, you must not forget that there is still me Wei Mu Shanqing in the world." After speaking, he turned around, and his back was straight hidden by the curtain of the tent.

Eight attendants surrounded Wei Mu's and walked forward, quite overly following behind. After walking for a while, Wei Mushi suddenly stopped, and said without looking back: "Deputy General Pochao, you go back to the camp by yourself, you don't have to send it again." Tomorrow morning, you will pick me up at the prince's tent. ”

quite overdetermined to bow and salute, but with a hesitant look on his face, he refused to leave.

Wei Mushi sneered, looked back at quite Chaoding and said, "My carriage and horses are guarded by the prince's personal soldiers, are you blind?" The fate of my sixty attendants is in your hands, don't you feel at ease? Wei Mushi said these two sentences coldly, but he didn't turn to move forward, but just stared at it with a lot of determination.

After a slight pause, he saluted Wei Mu's and walked briskly towards another tent.

Wei Mushi didn't seem to be concerned about the departure of the rather undetermined at all, and his eyes had moved to the camp tent at some point, and he didn't say a word, just looked at it in a daze.

Suddenly, one of the attendants shouted, "Crown Princess! ”
