When Ye Qing and the others camped in Kedun City, they saw Yelu Yixue who had been hiding in the Song army all the way at night.

Therefore, Ye Qing's familiarity with the road can't help but make people a little suspicious, whether Yelu Yixue sent his subordinates to Xiping Mansion to pick up Ye Qing, otherwise, how could Ye Qing be so familiar with the region of this generation.

But obviously, the questions in Su Dao's mind, whether it was Ye Qing or Yelu Yixue, would not help him solve his doubts.

A night's rest was enough for them, and on the second day, before the sun rose, and when the sky was just getting bright, Ye Qing, Temujin, Su Dao, Qishilie Zhushen Nu and Yelu Yixue began to lead more than 20,000 people to continue westward.

Even though it was the middle of May, the city of Kedun in the morning was still a long westbound route, and it was still a little cold in the morning and evening, especially the armor placed outside in the early morning, and the cold feeling to the touch was similar to the cold winter in Lin'an.

From Xingqing Mansion all the way to the west, in addition to the beauty and delicacy of nature and the magic that can be seen along the way, what makes Ye Qing feel awe-inspiring in his heart is how the Han people opened up this Silk Road a thousand years ago.

What makes him even more admirable is that even if he marches like this, he still feels the hardship and boredom along the way, and he really can't imagine what kind of perseverance and pioneer spirit the people used at the beginning, not only to pass through the Qilian Mountain, which is often infested with wild beasts, but also to be able to find the edge of the endless desert, and then most importantly, to trust their own judgment, go straight to the west, and open up a road that is far from being measured by money.

Along the way, from time to time in my mind, dozens or hundreds of business travelers, camel teams, etc., slowly moving along the desert wind and sand, there must be when there is a shortage of water, there must be when you are sick, and it is common to be unclear about the direction and encounter thieves along the way, but what is it that allows them to move forward without hesitation, is it really just for business? Ye Qing was skeptical.

However, it is undeniable that the Silk Road, which was exonerated by the predecessors, has been continued from generation to generation, and although it is now an unfamiliar term in the Song Dynasty, for the Xia, Tatars, and Liao people, this ancient road is as indispensable as their lifeline.

The camel bell that has sounded for thousands of years, this road has been lingering in the ears, the yellow sand desert, the grassland oasis, the extremely precious water source, all prove that for thousands of years, the people here have never lacked the courage to fight with the sky.

Hu Si cut his ears, the capital of the Liao people, and the ears are the meaning of the palace tent, so from the name, Ye Qing can tell that the capital of the Liao Kingdom that will appear in front of him in the near future may not have anything to do with majestic, majestic and other lofty words.

In his opinion, when all the rulers of the Central Plains lose their qualifications as masters in this vast land, the order here will eventually return to a more primitive stage, just like the Liao people after conquering other tribes, hastily give a silver waist card, even if it is determined that you are my Da Liao officials, your people are the people of Da Liao.

Such a system, such an order, is obviously not comparable to the incomplete system of the Han Dynasty, let alone the Tang Dynasty, or the more complicated system of the Great Song Dynasty today.

The nomadic system is backward, but in this historical period, because of the growth on horseback, it has become a powerful existence in the era of cold weapons.

And they are also very "helpful", not only have they been in a backward position, but they will also forcibly drag some advanced civilizations and fall behind with them, such as the future Southern Song Dynasty After the destruction, the residual culture and tradition, almost unable to have a complete system to support the orthodoxy of the Central Plains, and it just so happens that the rise of Zhu Xi's doctrine, and later the development of Wang Yangming, finally preserved one, and before the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty, the orthodox culture of the Central Plains was very different.

But no matter what, something is better than nothing. Coupled with the great integration of the Central Plains Orthodoxy, what you dare to put in it, he dares to integrate into it, so that no matter what kind of culture, in the end he can give you a self-justification as the Central Plains Orthodox culture, or ...... Confucianism.

So Ye Qing came to a conclusion, the most powerful culture in the world has to be Confucianism, although he is shameless, but his structural system is so powerful: You come in and try it, see if I fuse you or die!

With Yelu Yixue's guidance, an official road formed by two ruts led straight to the high post in front, and at this time, at the top of the high post, it was faintly possible to see the Liao people's flags flying, and rows of cavalry, as if slowly growing out of the horizon, were slowly appearing in the field of vision of Ye Qing and others at this moment.

"After passing the high post ahead, we will reach our capital." Yelu Yixue's stiff Chinese has become more proficient than at the beginning in the past few days.

Ye Qing, who came back to his senses, instantly appeared in his mind was the scene of an off-road vehicle speeding on the grassland, he had been for a long time, and some modern pictures of the afterlife had not flashed in his mind, but today for some reason, the scene of the off-road vehicle speeding on the grassland suddenly appeared in his mind, as if everything seemed to have happened yesterday, or rather, he had just seen a scene in another space.

"Mirage", Ye Qing was in a trance, defining his hallucinations as a mirage that only he could see.

Therefore, when he followed Yelu Yixue and was welcomed by the Liao cavalry, he rode his horse and whipped onto the high post, and under the guidance of Yelu Yixue, who was excited and proud, he looked down, and was instantly shocked by the scene in front of him.

Along with him, he was shocked by the scene in front of him, and naturally there were Temujin, Qishilie Zhushen Nu, Su Dao, Mo Xiaobao and others.

The farthest point of sight is the white snow-capped mountains on the Tianshan Mountain Range, which seems to be within reach, but Ye Qing knows that if he wants to reach the foot of the mountain, he may need to travel for several days.

In front of them, a pool of clear lake water hangs like a pearl on the turquoise grassland, and a thin winding river is like a jade belt, under the sunshine, the flow of the river water reflects the light from time to time to their side.

What shocked them was not the common combination of grassland and lake, but the endless grassland and dotted tents under the high hill, as well as some buildings from the Central Plains that faintly appeared, which were the reason for their shock.

Ye Qing never thought that there could be more tents on the grassland...... So much so that the night sky with the most stars seems to be an overstatement.

The white tents are as white and pure as the clouds in the sky, and there may be some tents of other colors, but they do not seem to affect the overall beauty at all, but will look more colorful.

In the distance is the snow-capped mountains as the background, in front of the fat grassland as the backing, the unique natural fragrance, and the singing from time to time, as well as the galloping horses in the distance, like white clouds gathered together cattle and sheep, reflect each other into a painting, forming a harmonious and beautiful picture of paradise.

For a moment, people were involuntarily reluctant to speak loudly, for fear of breaking the quiet picture below.

In Ye Qing's mind, at this time, there was a feeling as if he had walked into a paradise, which was completely different from the dirty mess he imagined.

"Where's the king's tent?" Ye Qing pointed to a vague and vague tent, and could occasionally distinguish that some golden colors were coming from there, so he asked curiously.

"Yes, there is the king's tent over there, the south courtyard and the north mansion are separated, and there are temples there, farmhouses, farmland, ......." Yelu Yixue said proudly.

Every person who comes to the capital of Liao for the first time, but who enters the capital from this direction, will stand on this high post and look at the entire capital in amazement, after all, looking at the capital of the Great Liao Kingdom from here, it is simply too beautiful, it is so beautiful that it cannot be expressed in words.

"Farmland?" Ye Qing was startled, thinking that there was something wrong with his ears.

"Yes, my Great Liao Capital is a good land that is half cultivated and half pastoral, and it is also the reason why my Great Liao Emperor chose to use this as the capital." Yelu Yixue was much more talkative than he was along the way, not to mention, he was very proud, and he also liked to see Ye Qing and the others open their mouths in surprise.

As they slowly approached the Liao King City from the high post, such a beautiful and quiet picture, as if they had been left on the high post, made Ye Qing and the others a little reluctant, and couldn't help but look back at the high post, I don't know what kind of heart-warming picture the Liao King City would be at night once all the tents were lit up!

You can only look at it from a distance, not at close range, everything in this world is like this, from people to things without exception, in short, once you get close, its beauty will gradually disappear, so that what appears in front of you is some shortcomings that cannot be detected when you look at it from a distance, and naturally it will break the perfection in your heart.

When you don't get the favor of a woman you like, her beauty is perfect, but once you get close to everything about her, you will find that perfect women are also imperfect.

Ye Qing didn't find perfection in Yelu Yue's body, because he hadn't seen the princess of the Great Liao Kingdom for the time being, but the royal city of the Great Liao Kingdom, the magnificence of the amazed paradise on the high hill, had now disappeared in his heart.

When you really walk into this royal city, you will find that it is actually you who beautify all the clutter in the distance, and it is your pursuit of perfection that makes you give up the search for truth, so when the cows, sheep and horses are everywhere, Ye Qing has to look at the Gao Gang who was left behind by them again, and always feels that Gao Gang has a special beauty! Otherwise, how could there be such a big gap!

The white and pure tent no longer exists, and instead of it, there are black and greasy tents, which need to be distinguished to see that its essence used to be a white tent, but the gray tent in front of you.

The road beneath his feet naturally retains its primitive atmosphere, and even the road to the king's tent, which is considered the smoothest and widest, is also overgrown with weeds on both sides, and from time to time you can see the lambs helping to clear the weeds.

Large animals such as cattle and horses are rare in the city, and the city gate at the city gate is more like a ruined wall, shops, inns, taverns, tea shops, etc. can be seen in the royal city, but what you see are all shops with tents as the main body.

Occasionally, you can see some civil and masonry buildings, but there is no longer the style of Central Plains architecture, and it looks more like Khorezm people, and some architectural styles in the west.

The tents on the high hill cover everything, and after you really enter the royal city, you will find that in fact, there are not many buildings, although there are fewer than tents, but the real shops are lined with streets, etc., and business travelers from all over the world and tourists from all over the world also abound.

The appearance of Ye Qing and the others would cause people to panic for a short time, but when they saw their Da Liao generals appear at the forefront, the crowds on both sides immediately quieted down, just frowned and looked at Ye Qing and the others a few times, and then began to busy the men in their hands.

It is obviously a tradition to slaughter cattle and sheep on the street, just like the Liao people will slaughter green cattle and white sheep to worship before each battle, so from time to time you can see that a cow fell to the ground in pain, with godless and resigned eyes, allowing humans to cut their necks, feeling the blood gradually dry up from the body, and then slowly close their eyes, and were skinned off by humans.

As if they already knew their fate, the cows standing quietly waiting for the execution, even if they were not tied to the reins, while the more timid sheep would bleat in panic, trying to break free from the rope around their necks from time to time, and trampling the ground uneasily.

The whole Wangcheng is much larger than the scale seen from the high post, and several of the main roads are quite wide, but even so, if you want to compare with Lin'an and Yangzhou, it can be said that there is no comparison at all.

And it is with Kaifeng, Luoyang, Jingzhao Mansion, even Xingqing Mansion, the capital of the Xia Kingdom, it looks much better than the environment here, there are poems and distances between the sky and the clouds, but more is the harsh conditions and the brutal violence of killing.

The king's tent was much larger than each of them imagined, and it was not just a simple tent that was the king's tent, but the addition of nearly dozens of huge tents in front of them to be called a complete king's tent.

Only when the emperor was on war and hunting, would a single tent be called a king's tent.

The five thousand people led by each of Ye Qing and the four of them had been placed in tents outside the city before entering the city, and each person could only enter the core area of the Liao capital with his own soldiers at most, after all, the so-called post house was also in the large area of the king's tent, the southern courtyard, the northern mansion and so on.

"Over there is the mansion of the thorns." Yelu Yixue took advantage of the fact that everyone else was curiously looking at the kung fu of the kingdom capital, and whispered in Ye Qing's ear when he led them to turn a corner.

"He doesn't live in a tent?" Ye Qing asked stupidly, after all, after entering the Liao King City, all his concepts have been greatly impacted, in this nondescript city, he still can't accept it for a while, this is the King City of the Western Liao people, and it is obviously completely different from the scene seen on the high post.

"I don't know." When Yelu Yixue looked at the huge doorway, his eyes seemed to be filled with hatred and murderous aura, which made Ye Qing deeply afraid of this thing's impulse, so he rushed in single-handedly to fight a duel with Xiao Yixue.

"No one knows where he lived at night, some say he lived in his king's tent in the south courtyard, others say he actually lived in his palace, but there is no conclusive evidence." Yelu Yixue shook his head and said disdainfully: "It's just a coward, I don't even dare to say where I live." ”

"Even your emperor doesn't know?" Ye Qing asked with some surprise.

Yelu Yixue's face was embarrassed for a while, and he turned red for a rare time, and said vaguely: "He doesn't know where the emperor lives." ”

“…… I....... Ye Qing's eyes rolled, and then he remembered that now Yelupu Suwan doesn't seem to have a Zen position for Yelu Zhilugu, so as a daughter-in-law, Yelupu Suwan, after joining hands with his brother-in-law to kill his husband, is naturally afraid that his father-in-law will avenge his eldest son, and this residence is naturally highly top-secret.
