Seeing Xiao Yanyan coming out of the inner tent, Yelu Abaoji frowned slightly, and said vigilantly: "Yanyan, what did you hear just now?" ”

The corners of Xiao Yanyan's mouth raised slightly, and said: "Little sister really didn't misunderstand my brother, my brother is really a person with great ambitions!" ”

"Did you hear it all?" Yelu Abaoji looked nervous, and hurriedly advised: "Little sister, don't go out and talk nonsense about what you just heard, if you let Temujin know, with his heart, he will definitely destroy our entire clan!" ”

"Brother, don't worry, my little sister knows what to say and what not to say! It's just—"

Xiao Yanyan smiled weirdly, deliberately prolonged her voice and said, "Little sister hopes that my brother will promise my little sister one thing!" ”

"What's the matter?"

"Xiaomei just heard my brother say that he was going south, and I heard that the Central Plains people are outstanding people, and Xiaomei has long wanted to see and learn. Brother will take his little sister with him when he goes south this time! ”

"No, no!"

Listening to Xiao Yanyan's conditions, Yelu Abaoji shook his head and flatly refused: "The Central Plains is not better than the outside of the Sai, where the princes are fighting. It's a mess, it's too dangerous for a girl to be in your house. ”

Xiao Yanyan hugged Yelu Abaoji's arm and said coquettishly: "My brother is resourceful, with my brother by my sister's side, how can my little sister be in danger?" Take me, brother! ”

Yelu Abaoji still said resolutely: "No, I'm not going south this time to enjoy the mountains and rivers, how can I take you to a girl's house?" ”

Seeing Yelu Abaoji's resolute attitude, Xiao Yanyan frowned slightly, the corners of her mouth hooked slightly, and said with a smile: "My brother refuses to take my little sister south, and that little sister can't force my brother." It's just that in this way, the little sister will be depressed, and when the mood is depressed, the little sister may not be able to hide the secret! ”

"You..."

Yelu Abaoji glared at Xiao Yanyan with a little anger, Xiao Yanyan was not afraid, and looked at Yelu Abaoji with a smile and a pair of big eyes.

After a long time, Yelu Abaoji sighed helplessly: "Okay, I'll take you with me this time when I go south, but you have to listen to me along the way, and you are not allowed to go out alone!" ”

"Little sister, thank you, brother!"

Xiao Yanyan shook Yelu Abaoji's arm a few more times, and said with a smile: "Brother, don't be angry, the little sister may be able to help the elder brother along the way!" ”

Yelu Abaoji smiled bitterly: "I hope so!" ”

Half an hour later, Yelu Abaoji, Yelu Xianzhen, and Xiao Yanyan led more than 20 elite armor soldiers to pretend to be a caravan, and went all the way south against the north wind of the call sign.

On the Jiangdu side, Yang Gao ordered the Jinyi Guards to command Zhan Zhao and Qianhu Ouyang Chun to select dozens of shrewd and capable Jinyi Guards to escort several physicians led by Li Shizhen and Zuo San's regular attendant Fang Xuanling to Hebei. Princess Yicheng is the daughter of the Great Sui clan, a dignified princess, Yang Gao naturally had to send a heavyweight courtier to greet her.

A group of dozens of people dressed up in disguise, led by a few Turkic messengers, left Jiangdu, crossed the Yangtze River, and passed through the land of Qingxu. Along the way, they ate and slept non-stop, and rushed to Gaocheng County, Bohai County, where Princess Yicheng was located, fourteen days later.

Gaocheng County is only a small county seat, and it is not a major transportation artery, and it is rare for a caravan of more than fifty people to pass by on weekdays.

After Fang Xuanling heard this, in order to avoid being too ostentatious and causing extraneous branches, he ordered the Jinyi Guards to command Zhanzhao to lead most of the Jinyi Guards to temporarily live in a ruined temple outside the city, and he took a few doctors led by Li Shizhen to visit Princess Yicheng in the city under the escort of Ouyang Chun and four or five Jinyi Guards.

As soon as he walked into the inn, Fang Xuanling saw more than a dozen Turkic strong men with scumbags and fierce faces standing outside a side room, staring at the traveling merchants and drinkers coming and going with a grim face, staring at many ordinary people for a while.

Seeing this scene, Fang Xuanling was not calm for a while, and asked the Turkic messenger who led the way with a gloomy face: "These days, you are guarding Princess Yicheng like this?" ”

The messenger who led the way said puzzledly: "Of course, Kedun has a noble status and a noble status, so naturally we must protect it carefully. ”

"What do you call careful protection?"

Fang Xuanling's eyes widened, and he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and scolded in a low voice, "Have you forgotten your own identity? This is Hebei, full of rebellious ministers and thieves who are plotting to rebel, are you acting so flamboyantly to attract all the rebels to the detriment of Princess Yicheng? ”

"So what are we going to do?"

As soon as Fang Xuanling said this, the Turkic messenger realized what mistake he had made and stammered and asked.

Fang Xuanling immediately decided: "Without further ado, take the princess out of the city immediately, find a remote place to settle down, and after a few doctors cure the princess's stubborn illness, they will immediately set off for Jiangdu." ”

The Turkic messenger shook his head helplessly: "Lord Fang, I'm afraid this move won't work. Ke Dun was already seriously ill, and there were only a few Lang Zhong in Gaocheng County who knew the fur because of the war, and they couldn't see the cause of Ke Dun's indiscriminate prescription of medicine, which caused Ke Dun's condition to deteriorate again and again, not to mention going out of the city, and even going to the ground became a problem. ”

Fang Xuanling sighed when he heard this, waved his hand and said, "That's it, take me to see the princess first!" ”

In the wing room, the Turkic princess Ashina Liyun, dressed in a white dress, waited quietly beside Princess Yicheng's sickbed, carefully feeding the medicinal soup into her mouth. And Ashina Zhimo, the son of Jieli Khan, is only three years old this year, and he doesn't know anything about the world at all, so he only cares about playing and playing alone.

Fang Xuanling walked into the wing room under the guidance of the Turkic messenger, knelt down on one knee and saluted Princess Yicheng on the sickbed: "Weichen left scattered to ride Fang Xuanling, knock to see Her Royal Highness the princess!" ”

Princess Yicheng, who was seriously ill, heard Fang Xuanling's voice and immediately got up to sit up, but her body was weak and she couldn't do it after struggling for a long time.

Seeing this, the Turkic princess Ashina Liyun on the side hurriedly supported Princess Yicheng, quickly brought a few soft mattresses behind her, and then slowly helped her up.

Princess Yicheng reluctantly sat up with the help of Ashina Liyun, leaned against the soft mattress, looked at Fang Xuanling who was kneeling in front of her, barely squeezed out a smile on her pale face, waved her hand and said, "Lord Fang doesn't have to be polite, please get up quickly!" ”

"Your Royal Highness Princess Xie!"

Fang Xuanling hurriedly got up, seeing that Princess Yicheng's face was pale, and she covered her chest with her hands and coughed from time to time, she did look seriously ill. He immediately arched his hand and said: "Your Royal Highness Princess, Your Majesty learned that the princess was suffering from a serious disease, and specially selected several doctors with excellent medical skills from the Imperial Doctor's Department to go north with the ministers, and are now waiting outside the door." ”

Princess Yicheng nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Lord Fang has a heart, please invite those imperial doctors to come in!" ”
