In November of the second year of Shaoxi, the grassland was covered with snow and boundless, and the whole world seemed to become a white world full of holiness overnight.

At the foot of Sari Heikun Mountain, the original holy and smooth snow, a messy mark that seems to be trampled by the horse's hooves in sight, is slowly being covered by the heavy snow at this moment, and from time to time you can still see scarlet everywhere, like blooming plum blossoms, scattered disorderly on the holy snow, making the whole holy world a little more enchanting.

Continuing to move forward along this messy horseshoe mark that was gradually buried by the wind and snow, in the holy expanse of snowflakes flying, some scenes that were completely inconsistent with this extraordinarily pure ice and snow world gradually appeared.

One by one, the war horses fell messily in the snow, violently undulating the abdomen and neck that had been torn open, and the snow-white snow around them instantly melted into a dignified dark brown due to the temperature of blood, and then slowly was slowly sealed in the snowflakes by the cold temperature.

The messy horseshoe marks became more and more messy, and even not far from the war horses that fell in the snowflakes, corpses in various postures began to appear, and the corners of the mouth, neck, back, or abdomen were bloody, just like the war horses, in the pure white and holy ice and snow world, stained with layers of killing.

The severed arm was crooked in the snow, and the twisted palm was already covered with a layer of snow, and the arrows were scattered all around, and the stump arm of the short knife was everywhere.

From time to time, you can still see the "corpse" that has not finished breathing, crawling and squirming in the snow, and then it is as if the whole body is pressed by the weight of a thin layer of snowflakes on the body, and in the difficult and rapid snoring of the white mist on the tip of the nose, it gradually remains motionless, and finally the war horses and the corpses are covered by wind and snow.

There were only fifty or sixty guards left around Qu Qu Lu, and Mu Huali and the Mongolian cavalry behind him still had thousands of people.

But the chasing soldier Mu Huali behind him not only has a strong army, but also behind them, he can also hear the barking of dogs.

The snow makes the mountain road more and more rugged, and the war horse slips from time to time because of the snow under his feet, either the horse's legs are instantly twisted, or they are stuck in the stone cracks under the snow, no matter how hard they try, they can't let the war horse get out.

As the mountain road in front of them became more and more rugged, the horses of fifty or sixty people became fewer and fewer, and even the guards behind them, because of the heavy snow, there were already several people left behind, and when Qu Qu Lulu looked back helplessly behind them, the long messy mark that had just stepped out, and in the vast sky full of snow, several screams sounded, which suddenly made Qu Qu Lu's heart become more and more desperate.

Whether it was him or the guards behind him who heard the screams and turned back, they all knew very well in their hearts that the screams just now must be the last screams of the guards who had just fallen behind, and now they were directly killed after being chased by Mu Huali, and this ...... That is to say, the distance between Mu Huali and them has been shortened and shortened.

"Great Khan ......." A guard behind him wiped a handful of snow from his face, his expression was more desperate than Qu Zhulu's heart, and then he stretched out his arm sadly and pointed ahead.

Qu Julu hurriedly turned around, only to see that it should have been a white expanse in front of him, and I don't know when, suddenly a black cavalry appeared, killing and cold, just like the wind and snow in this mountain, cutting towards his desperate heart.

"What should I do?" The other guard was also panting, looking at Qu Zhulu in despair and asked.

In the snowy mountains, after a fierce battle an hour ago, and after escaping such a long way, they are already sleepy and tired, even if they are just standing in the snow at this moment, their legs are involuntarily a little weak and weak.

What's more, Mu Huali didn't need to speed up to chase them at all, as long as he continued to move forward before the heavy snow drowned the traces left by them, then he had no way to get rid of them at all.

In the heavy snow, just when Qu Chulu swallowed his saliva with difficulty, grabbed a handful of snow and rubbed his frozen numb cheeks, the sound of arrows breaking through the air sounded in his ears, and several guards around him snorted and fell softly in the snow.

"I surrender ......." Qu Zhulu looked at the four or five guards who fell in an instant in horror, hurriedly threw away the waist knife that was still in his hand, and shouted loudly regardless of the wind and snow.

Mu Huali, who was not far away, finally showed a smile on his face, and rode his horse slowly approaching Qu Qu and the others in the wind and snow, until he saw Qu Qu Lu's face clearly, and the dozens of guards behind him, Qu Qu Lu frowned involuntarily, and then his eyes swept over Qu Qu Lu and swept over the faces of the dozens of guards behind him.

"Where is Jeruzhilugu?" Mu Huali asked in a deep voice.

Hearing Mu Huali's question, Qu Zhulu's heart was relieved, and he instantly understood why Mu Huali and they were chasing and killing him so closely, it turned out to be for Yelu Zhilugu.

"He didn't come with me." Qu Qu replied frankly.

Yelu Zhilugu has always liked hunting, and Qu Zhulu has been able to not be excluded in the Liao country, and he is also deeply valued by Yelu Zhilugu, because he has always been in front of Yelu Zhilugu to his favor, and from time to time he will suggest that he go out hunting, and then deliberately arrange all kinds of prey to be shot by Yelu Zhilugu, and he and others praise him as the great Liao prince with good martial arts.

Therefore, for the Liao people or other grasslands, hunting after the arrival of winter, especially on snowy days, is a very enjoyable thing, but this time, Yelu Zhilugu, who was originally going to hunt with him, stayed in the royal city because of Yelu Yue, the princess of Beifu, so he became his own leader to hunt some better wolf skins and other good winter furs for Yelu Zhilugu.

"Why didn't he hunt with them?" Mu Huali rode his war horse high, and his cold gaze swept over every guard of Qu Zhulu.

He had followed Temujin to the Liao Kingdom, so he naturally recognized Yelu Zhilugu, the crown prince of the Liao Kingdom, but every guard who swept his eyes did not even look a little similar to Yelu Zhilugu.

Mu Huali was obviously not reconciled, and the great opportunity that he finally found slipped away from his eyes in vain, after all, if he could catch the crown prince of Liao today, once the Great Khan unified the grassland, it would be much easier to conquer Liao.

And just when he asked Qu Zhulu why Yelu Zhilugu didn't hunt with them, Yelu Zhilugu at this time was in the Liao King City and asked Yelu Yue the same question.

Hunting on the vast grassland is by no means as simple as going early and returning late, but every time Yelu Zhilugu hunts, he will bring a large number of guards, even including palace maids, eunuchs, etc., just like a patrol, as little as half a month, and as long as a month.

Therefore, for Yelu Zhilugu, being able to take a large number of guards, beauties, and eunuchs to hunt on a snowy day, and go for half a month or as long as a month, is definitely a very enjoyable thing for him, and it is far more free than nesting in the Liao King City.

Naturally, this kind of hunting will never be limited to the area around Liaowang City, so every time Yelu Zhilugu hunts, it is close to the Naiban tribe on the grassland where Qu Zhulu was located, and from time to time they will cross the Sari Heikun into the grassland that was originally the Naiban tribe, and hunt some wolves or other animals that will also haunt snow days under the nose of the Mongols.

"Because I don't trust Qu Qu Yu." Yelu Yue looked up at Yelu Zhilugu, who was dissatisfied, and sighed slightly: "Now that I have grown up, it's time to take care of it, the ...... of the Great Liao Kingdom." ”

"Isn't this still with my aunt? What's more, Xiao Huli, the king of the Southern Courtyard, doesn't want to see me, my stay in the royal city will only hinder their eyes, and not going out to hunt on a snowy day is simply a good time. It was as if he could hear the sound of snowflakes falling outside the tent, and he was calling him.

But he also knew that the dream of hunting under the first heavy snow of winter had been shattered, and if it was a few days in the morning, maybe he would have hurried and be able to catch up with Qu Qu Lu, and now, he could only wait for Qu Qu Lu to come back and see what novelties he had hunted.

"After all, the Great Liao Kingdom will be handed over, and the Southern Court will not see it, precisely because it is afraid of succeeding to the throne. Now that he is an adult, as long as he inherits the throne of my Great Liao, Xiao Lithorn will no longer be as presumptuous as he is now. At that time, as long as a little means are used to entrap the various tribes, the threat of Xiao Weili's thorn will naturally be weakened, and at that time, as long as one more king of the Southern Courtyard is selected, ....... Yelu Yue was a little helpless in her heart, looking at Yelu Zhilugu's disapproving appearance, she knew that at this moment, his mind had already flown into the snowy white world outside, and it was not on the affairs of the Great Liao State at all.

"It's good to have Zhangbei Mansion now, I'm not afraid

I just don't want to see him. What's more, I went out hunting to practice my riding skills more, and for my future expedition to the east. "Yelu Zhilugu's reason, in Yelu Pu's speed, every time it is very useful, but here in Yelu Yue, it is always just an excuse for hunting.

In the world of Yelu Zhilugu, there is nothing he likes more than hunting, especially every time he hunts, as long as he shoots his prey with an arrow, the sense of accomplishment and conquest that instantly rises in his heart.

Of course, these are not the things that make him the most proud and yearning, and the most rewarding thing is naturally that in addition to hunting, his subordinates, beauties, etc. cast admiration for him, so that he has a feeling of looking down on the world and being the only one in the wind and snow, which is far more interesting than fighting with the South Courtyard in Liaowang City.

The feeling of wandering in the boundless snowy world, free, unfettered, and most importantly, being able to realize how powerful you are, not at all like the careful intrigue and rat trapping of the North Mansion and the South Courtyard, one by one the timid ones are like the prey in the snow, and they never dare to compete in the open.

Yelu Yue sighed helplessly, and just when she wanted to speak, the palace maid took Yelu Yixue mixed with wind and snow and walked into the king tent of Beifu, which made the originally warm king tent, and the temperature seemed to drop by a few degrees in an instant, and she suddenly felt the coldness of winter.

"Let's go down first, remember not to go out of the royal city, now Qu Zhulu has been out of the royal city for more than half a month, just want to go out to look for him, and it is difficult to find him outside under this heavy snow." Yelu Yue told the dejected Yelu Zhilu Ancient Road.

"Got it, I won't be able to catch up this time, and the next time it snows heavily, don't stop me, okay?" Yelu Zhilugu, who was about to walk out of the king's tent, listened to Yelu Yue's gentle tone, and a glimmer of hope instantly rose in his heart.

Yelu Yue nodded silently, and then watched Yelu Zhilugu go out, only then looked in the direction of departure and sighed.

The palace maid took Yelu Yixue and walked into the inner tent from the outer account at this time, extremely capable and without delay: "Your Royal Highness Princess, Lord Song Tingye wrote a letter to you. ”

"Handwritten letters?" Yeluyue's eyes lit up instantly, and the majesty of Yelu Zhilu, who had just faced Yelu Zhilugu, turned into the joy and expectation of the youngest daughter's family in an instant.

After taking the letter handed over by Yelu Yixue, looking at the familiar handwriting on it, Yeluyue's heart instantly warmed up a lot, and her mood suddenly became excited: "Did he say anything else?" ”

"Nope. In addition to this handwritten letter, it is the ...... that some businessmen have brought to you. Yelu Yixue said respectfully.

"Put those things in place first, and I'll take care of them myself later, and no one is allowed to approach them until then." Ye Luyue carefully opened the envelope, for her, even if it was an envelope with only a few words, as long as it was Ye Qing's own handwriting, then it would not be lighter than the content inside.

"Yes, the last general will send more men." Yelu Yixue got up and saluted and said, and when he turned to leave halfway, Yelu Yue's words came from behind him again: "I've been keeping an eye on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince these days, don't let him go out hunting again, I don't know what I'm doing in the South Courtyard, and it always gives me a feeling of unsteadiness." ”

As Yelu Yixue was ordered to walk out of the king's tent, in the entire warm tent, only Yelu Yue and the letter lying quietly on the desk in front of him were left, waiting for Princess Da Liao, whose heart was pounding, to reveal the secret.

Different from every handwritten letter in the past, the content of this letter, for the thoughts and love words that Yeluyue wants to see the most, is only a few strokes, and the next whole article is to help Yeluyue analyze the crisis of the Great Liao Kingdom now, and the threat of Mongolia to them.

Especially when Yeluyue saw that Temujin was likely to give up his revenge on the Jin people after dominating the grassland, ignoring the existence of the Xia State, and thus launching an attack on the Liao State, she was also unconsciously a little disapproving, she didn't believe very much that Temujin would suddenly look at them when he had just unified the grassland and the grudge with the Jin State was still very deep.

And Ye Qing seemed to have guessed that Ye Luyue would pout disapprovingly when she saw this, and as soon as the words changed, she directly warned the princess of Da Liao not to pout, and then the princess of Liao, who read the letter, showed a happy smile at the letter in her hand, and said softly: No.
