When the princess of Yue Kingdom learned that Xiao Hengde had brought back a female prisoner, she was on the way to welcome the triumph of the Khitan army.

Originally, she was going to go out with the army, but the Queen Mother ordered that all the soldiers should not bring their families with them, because this campaign was not the same as before, it must be an unusually tragic and cruel war, and the outcome was unpredictable, so some people must be left to strictly guard Beijing in case of accidents.

When she set out on the expedition, the queen mother handed over the responsibility of guarding the imperial capital to the imperial concubine, and if she did not win in the front, she would be martyred. She asked the imperial concubine to continue to lead the Khitans to a decisive battle against the Song people, and asked her to find a way to preserve the royal bloodline no matter what happened.

Before leaving, she repeatedly told the three sisters of the princess to assist the imperial concubine in governing the government, guarding the royal capital, and taking care of her young brother.

The princess of Yue asked to go with the army, but was reprimanded by the queen mother, and Xiao Hengde resolutely refused to let her follow him, as if she was a big burden.

He said with a sneer: "You can't even ride a horse, how can you go into battle to kill the enemy?" ”

The princess of Yue Guo argued: "Who doesn't know how to ride a horse? ”

Xiao Hengde pursed his lips and said, "You also call it horse riding?" As soon as the horse runs, it lies on the horse's back, hugging the horse's neck tightly, and does not dare to move. ”

The princess of Yue Guo's face turned red and said, "Who can ride a horse in the first place?" If you're used to riding, won't you? ”

The Queen Mother said: "Don't fight, all women will stay on this expedition and will not be allowed to go out with the army." ”

The army is gone, more than two months, the princess of Yue Guo has not received news from Xiao Hengde, although from time to time there is good news, but from the messenger can hardly ask for any information about the horse, once, the messenger told her that he has not seen the horse in the army for a long time. Princess Yueguo's heart suddenly hung in the air, blocking her throat and eyes, making her unable to breathe.

Princess Wu persuaded her with good words and comforted her for a long time before she slowly calmed down. What my sister said is that Xiao Hengde is clever and has good martial arts, so he should be fine. Moreover, the messenger just didn't see him, and there were so many people in the procession, how could he see them all?

However, in a war, who can guarantee that he will be able to retreat with his whole body, the sword has no eyes. The princess of Yue Guo tortured herself like this almost every day.

Until one day, the news of the Khitan victory came: the Khitan army repelled the three-way attack of the Song people and completely defeated the Song army. When the news came, Shangjing was boiling, and the imperial concubine would lead the remaining civil and military ministers, princes and princesses, and imperial relatives to greet the triumph of the army.

The princess of Yue was so excited that she couldn't sleep all night, and the next day, a messenger came, and the princess of Yue pulled the messenger to inquire about Xiao Hengde's news.

The messenger said: "The horse has made a great contribution this time, if he hadn't gone to the Song camp to make the Song army generals lose peace, we would not have easily defeated the Song army, let alone caught Yang Wuving." ”

Princess Yue almost didn't hear what he said, only asked, "Then where is he now?" ”

The messenger said, "The little ones don't know." ”

The princess of Yue Guo said, "You didn't see him in the army? ”

The Courier shook his head.

The princess of Yue grabbed the messenger's arm and shook it vigorously, and asked, "Is something wrong with him?" Tell me if something happened to him? ”

The messenger looked at the distorted face and desperate eyes of the princess of Yueguo, and was very frightened, and wanted to break free, but was helplessly caught by the princess of Yueguo, so he had to say: "Master Ma is fine, it must be fine." ”

Only then did the princess of Yue Guo let go, and the messenger hurriedly said goodbye and left.

It didn't take long for the princess of Yue Kingdom to get the news of Xiao Hengde's return on the way to welcome the triumph of the army. The princess of Yue Guo took a long breath, and finally let go of her hanging heart. She was as happy as a foal, playfully playing with people and running around the field.

One day later, someone said, "The reason why Master Horse came back late is because he captured a prisoner of war." ”

The princess of Yue Guo became more and more happy, and praised her husband for how great she was, and her wit was naturally needless to say, but more importantly, she was brave and went deep into the enemy territory to capture a prisoner and come back. "Needless to say, it must be a big official, a marshal and a general or something."

That's what Princess Yue guessed, she was convinced that it must be the case, he was proud of Xiao Hengde, and really hoped that Xiao Hengde would ride a fast horse and fly to his side.

One day later, I will see him, and the triumphant army will go to Pandaoling tomorrow. The people who greeted the army built a dome on both sides of the road, a hard village, and also set up the imperial palace of Emperor Jingzong. Just wait for the arrival of the army.

Xiao Pai's detention arrived on this day, and the Queen Mother sent him to come one step earlier to see how the imperial camp was built, whether there was anything missing, and in addition, did the foreign envoys arrive? Be sure to let them come as little as they can, and if they don't come, immediately prepare horses and invite them over.

The princess of Yue asked about Xiao Hengde's capture of the prisoners, and Xiao Pai was detained for a long time before saying, "Where is the marshal and general, it is a woman." ”

"A woman?" The princess of Yue Guo shouted.

Xiao Pai did not speak.

Princess Wu Guo smiled: "I was a female captive for a long time. ”

The princess of Yue said, "Why did he capture a female captive? Didn't he say that he ran to the Song army camp to capture the prisoners? How is it female? ”

Xiao Pai said: "It is indeed a woman, in order to arrest her back, Hengde almost lost his life." ”

The princess of Yue Kingdom immediately gritted her teeth and said: "What a broom star, she almost hurt Hengde, see that I saw her, and I didn't break her body into ten thousand pieces." ”

Xiao Pai's mouth moved, and he swallowed his words.

The princess of Yue Guo said, "Where is that woman now?" ”

Xiao Pai said: "In the women's camp. ”

The princess of Yue Guo said, "That's good, I'll kill her tomorrow." ”

However, the princess of Yue Guo could not wait for a moment, and after a while, she sent someone to the female prisoner camp to kill the female prisoner.

Early the next morning, the men who had been sent came back and said that they had not killed the captive.

The princess of Yue Guo was busy asking why?

He replied: "The female captives have been protected. ”

The princess of Yue Guo said: "Protected? Who protects her? ”

"I heard that it was the master of the horse who protected her."

The princess of Yue Kingdom seemed to be pricked by something, but quickly said: "Nonsense, how can a horse protect a captive?" ”

"It's true that the horse master protected the female captive, and the guards didn't let me see her."

"Is that reasonable, someone else must have taken a fancy to the captive and forbade you to see her, accusing the horse of protecting her." The princess of Yue Guo said eagerly.

"It's true that the master of the horse protects her, and I heard that the master of the horse also killed someone for her."

The princess of Yue Guo buzzed in her head, her eyes turned black for a while, and her hand immediately grabbed the pillar of the vault, stabilized her mind, and said, "Why did the horse kill people?" ”

"There were two Khitan soldiers who wanted to bully the female captive, and when the horse master saw it, he killed the two Khitan soldiers."

In the evening, the princess of Yue Guo found Xiao Pai and asked, "How does that female prisoner look?" ”

Xiao Pai said without thinking: "Beautiful, very beautiful." ”

The princess of Yue Guo said, "No wonder. ”

Xiao Pai felt that he had said the wrong thing, and he was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.

Princess Wu said: "A female captive, what is my sister asking her for?" ”

Princess Yue said: "She is not a captive, she is the heart of others." ”

Princess Wu said: "Whose heart is it? ”

The princess of Yue Kingdom gritted her teeth and said, "Xiao Hengde." ”

Princess Wu Guo hurriedly said: "No, how could Xiao Hengde fall in love with a captive." ”

The princess of Yue Guo shouted: "She is not a captive, she was picked up by Xiao Hengde at the risk of his life." ”

Princess Wu said, "Isn't that female captive in a prisoner camp?" If Xiao Hengde was a person in his heart, how could he let her live in a prisoner camp? ”

Xiao Paiji hurriedly echoed: "Yes, if Hengde had taken a fancy to her, he would not have let her live in the prisoner camp." ”

The princess of Yue said: "I also heard that for this woman, Xiao Hengde also killed two Khitan soldiers, is there such a thing?" ”

Xiao Pai said: "There is indeed such a thing, the woman was imprisoned in the prisoner camp, the two Khitan soldiers saw the color and wanted to do wrong, Hengde is impartial law enforcement, strict military discipline, kill them, this matter was also praised by Marshal Yelu Xianzhen." ”

The princess of Yue Guo said: "No matter what, the female captive can't stay, and tomorrow when I see the emperor and the queen mother, they will want them to execute her." ”

Xiao Pai said: "Princess, let that girl go, she saved Hengde's life." ”

The princess of Yue Guo said: "She saved Hengde? How was it saved? ”

Xiao Pai said: "I have saved her a few times, she is Hengde's benefactor." ”

Princess Yue Guo said: "How many times have you been saved, such a coincidence?" Don't lie to me, how can you save people a few times? What benefactor? Lovers are pretty much the same. ”

Xiao Pai said: "Hengde was indeed rescued by her a few times. ”

The more the princess of Yue Guo didn't believe it, and said: "This can only say that they have known each other for a long time and have been mixed together for a long time, no wonder his heart is not here, it turns out that he is tied up by the fox spirit." ”

The more Xiao Pai said it, the more chaotic it became, and the more she explained, the more the princess of Yue Kingdom didn't believe it. Xiao Pai had no choice but to return to the camp overnight and find Xiao Hengde. Xiao Hengde sweated all over, not knowing what to do.

Xiao Pai said: "You better go to the marshal to discuss first, he must have a good idea." ”

Xiao Hengde immediately found Yelu and asked him what to do?

Jerod said, "You shouldn't have brought her back to the camp in the first place, so why didn't you send her home?" ”

Xiao Hengde said: "She has no home anymore, everyone in her family has been killed, the house has been burned, and she really has nowhere to go." ”

Yelu sighed and said, "Fortunately, I didn't let her live with you at that time, otherwise, the Heavenly King Lao Tzu would not have been able to save her." ”

Xiao Hengde said: "So the marshal can still save Gao Shixian? ”

Yelu said, "The only way now is to give her to the Queen Mother." ”

Xiao Hengde said: "No, you can't send her to the palace." ”

Yelu slanted and said: "If you want Gao Shixian to live, you must send her to the palace, only in this way will the princess of Yue Guo rest assured." ”

Xiao Hengde's face twitched, he looked at Yelu in despair, and said, "There is no other way?" Marshal. ”

Jerod shook his head.

Xiao Pai said: "I think the marshal's method is very good, only in this way can I dispel the princess's doubts." ”

Xiao Hengde said bitterly: "If this is the case, we will never be together again." ”

Xiao Pai said: "I advise you to dispel this idea as soon as possible, as long as you don't want to die, you will be together." ”

Xiao Hengde suddenly shouted: "As long as I am with Shixian, I am not afraid of death." ”

Xiao Pai said: "Since you want to die, why don't you die with her at the foot of Wutai Mountain, why do you want to save her back?" ”

Xiao Hengde stopped talking, and looked at Yelu beggingly.

Yelu slanted and said: "I'll send Gao Shixian to the Queen Mother first, get through the princess pass, and then think of a way, it's important to save your life, as long as you can survive, you will have a chance, right?" ”

Xiao Hengde had no choice but to nod in agreement.
