This is an act of robbers and plundering for no reason, but the Khorezmian people have no choice but to let the so-called coalition forces of the Liao people exploit and oppress them as victors.

Even if they hated this army in their hearts, because Amu Darya and His Royal Highness Aladdin Aslan became hostages in the hands of others, all they could do was to watch the Liao coalition retreat calmly, and after plundering the three cities of Malhan, Keman, and Yifa again, they were satisfied and really embarked on the road to return.

When the ancient city of Ke was in sight, His Royal Highness the Prince of the Khorezm people was finally released, and the hundreds of Khwarazmian people who followed behind him finally received their Royal Highness the Prince for the first time, thus making this war that lasted for more than a month finally came to a successful end.

Ye Luyue didn't feel much excited because of the frontier Ye Qing and the others had a hearty victory over the Khorezm people, although that victory had greatly relieved the pressure on her and her aunt, and it also made the king of the Southern Courtyard stab in the royal city, not daring to press them domineeringly, but what she was more worried about now was the secret letter from the Song court.

Su Xin asked her to remind Ye Qing to be careful of the Xia people, and even the Jin people, and why should she be careful, Su Xin didn't even know the real reason until now, but she knew that the Xia people and even the Jin people might be unfavorable to Ye Qing, who returned to the Song court from the Xia Kingdom.

The beautiful eyes stared blankly at the secret letter in her hand, and then looked at Yelu Yixue in front of her, and muttered, "Is the relationship between them tense now?" ”

"The last general is not clear for the time being, but since Lord Ye and the others returned to Kegu City to start resting, the troops that were once scattered and reorganized by them have once again been under their command. And....... Yelu Yixue sighed, and then said: "And whether it is a Tatar or a Jin, on the way back to the royal city from the frontier, half of the troops have already been divided and returned to China. ”

The corners of Yeluyue's mouth pulled a slightly disdainful smile, and said: "Yes, they have plundered so much wealth of the Khorezm people, how can they be willing to bring it to our royal city, and then share it with us, naturally they want to take advantage of the fact that they can be unimpeded in my Great Liao, and first bring those wealth back to their own territory." As for those who stayed to and from the royal city, I'm afraid...... Or to be able to get the benefits we were promised at the beginning. ”

"But Lord Ye didn't ......." Yelu Yixue could naturally hear Yelu Yue's disdain in the Tatars and Jinren's words.

The original disdainful smile on the corner of Yeluyue's mouth turned into a happy and shy smile because of Yelu Yixue's defense for Ye Qing, she didn't understand that Ye Qing came here this time for another purpose, that is, the reason why he and his aunt Yelupu had been at a stalemate when they met for the first time.

Obviously, now Ye Qing plans to use his share of wealth plundered from the Khorezmian people as a bride price to propose to him.

"After all, it's not right, it's ......." Ye Luyue sighed with some worry in her heart, her aunt's character is difficult to understand, and she is extremely sophisticated, otherwise, it would not be possible to get so much trust from her father before her father's death, and she can rest assured that Da Liao will be handed over to her as a weak woman.

She believes that before her father died, he must have carefully considered many things and the situation, and let her aunt take charge of Da Liao on her behalf, and return the emperor to her younger brother when she became an adult.

It's just that Yeluyue didn't know whether her father believed that there were more thorns in the Xiao Hu before he died, or whether he doubted more.

Success is also Xiao He, defeat is also Xiao He, I'm afraid my father's heart was also full of contradictions and helplessness at that time, right? Or put all his hopes on his aunt, believing that no matter whether he is loyal or treacherous, his aunt can deal with it calmly.

Yelupu did everything that Yeluyue's father wanted her to do before his death, not only to support the entire Liao royal family, but also to resist the wolf ambition of the king of the Southern Courtyard, in terms of royal inheritance and the choice of her husband's family, Yelupu finally chose to sacrifice her family to complete the Liao royal family.

So Yeluyue had to worry, for the sake of the Da Liao royal family, her aunt was able to frown without frowning, and immediately chose to turn her face against her husband's family, and she, the princess of Da Liao, what reason did she have to escape from Da Liao, where the current situation was still not very good, and then marry Ye Qing?

"How many days will it take them to get to the royal city?" Yeluyue asked with a frown.

As the princess of Chengli of the Great Liao Kingdom, before the Great Liao Imperial Family was worried, there was obviously no way to marry a Song person, of course, unless this Song person was willing to enter the Liao Kingdom, it would be another matter.

Therefore, Yeluyue at this time actually knew completely that as long as Ye Qing did not enter Liao, then everything he did to himself, in the eyes of Yelupu Suwan, would only be useless, and he could only move himself, but he could not impress his aunt Yelupu Suwan, who took the continuation of the rivers and mountains of the Great Liao Kingdom as his own responsibility.

"In less than three days' journey, they will be back in the royal city." Yelu Yixue looked at Yelu Yue with a happy and sad expression for a while, and said calmly.

"Go down, I see." Yelu Yue's expression was a little lonely and said, and then Yelu Yixue nodded, then turned around and walked out of the Beifu king's tent.

For Ye Luyue, Ye Qing's approach to the royal city day by day is equivalent to the day of his showdown with his aunt is approaching for another day, and the matter between her and Ye Qing is further on the verge of collapse.

"My aunt won't agree, for the sake of the Liao royal family, my aunt can turn against her husband's family, how can she allow herself to marry a Song man at this time? What's more, as the princess of Da Liao, how can she leave what she is now

What about Da Liao leaving with Ye Qing? Ye Luyue muttered to herself sitting in the tent and muttering, on the secret letter in her hand, the words called sisters in the back, at this moment made Ye Luyue look extremely uncomfortable, and her heart hurt like a pinprick.

"I'm afraid that in this life, I, Yeluyue, will not be blessed to be sisters with you." Ye Luyue smiled self-deprecatingly, and then took out the content about herself alone, and put the content about Ye Qing back in the envelope again.

At the end of August of the first year of Shaoxi, Ye Qing once again stood on the high hill, just as when they first came to the Great Liao King City, they looked at the Great Liao King City surrounded by mountains from a high place.

Because of the snowflakes that began to float yesterday, the Great Liao King City in his eyes today is completely like two cities compared to the first time they first met.

If the first time he saw the Great Liao Wangcheng, Ye Qing was conquered by the beautiful scenery of the lake and grassland and the paradise-like royal city, then this time, the royal city covered by snow gave him a sense of holiness and purity, as if the whole world was quiet at this moment, as if they were silently washing their killing and bloody qi with their holiness and purity.

The Southern Courtyard was not even willing to do the superficial kung fu, and the Da Liao royal family was obviously very excited about Ye Qing and the others helping them fight against the Khorezmians, and sent Princess Chengli of the Northern Mansion to personally greet Ye Qing and the others at the gate of the royal city.

The snow-white fur was draped on Yeluyue's thin shoulders, and her white cheeks were as white as jade, rippling with nobility and heroism, like a blooming snow lotus, ice clear and jade. Since the beautiful eyes searched for Ye Qing's figure, the heroic and sharp beautiful eyes instantly added a layer of gentleness like water.

Behind him are two neat rows of Wangcheng defenders, at this moment the army solemnly looked at Ye Qing and other generals who returned triumphantly, and the coalition troops who would still be stationed outside the city also received the grand courtesy of the Great Liao people, and the cheers from time to time also added a trace of warmth to the cold weather in August.

Compared with the huge number of people when they set off, although Ye Qing and the others now have won a battle, whether it is the personal soldiers behind them now or the army stationed outside the city, the number of people is already more than half of what they were before the expedition.

What made Ye Luyue even more speechless was that they had already received supplies from the Liao people free of charge on the way, but the personal soldiers behind Ye Qing, Temujin, and Qishilie Zhushen Nu were still wearing thin clothes, and they had never even worn armor to keep out the cold.

So at this moment, it seems that the snowflakes are silently covering the sky, and the cheeks that are freezing on horseback are red and shivering, giving people a pitiful look.

So Ye Luyue, whose eyes were originally full of tenderness, gritted her teeth and said after the two armies finished the etiquette that the two armies should have to welcome the triumphant return army, and Ye Qing, who followed her into the city and waved to the people around her from time to time: "Are you deliberately putting on such a pitiful look?" Don't think I don't know, you guys went out for me this time, but you made a lot of money, as for being so afraid of revealing your wealth? ”

"Huh? Have it? Ye Qing looked at the ice and snow beauty in amazement, and the question mark in his head was as if he couldn't understand what this most beautiful snow lotus in Daliao was saying.

On the other side, Temujin and the begging stone martyrs couldn't suppress the smugness on their faces.

Especially under the translation of the tongue man, when they heard the people of Wangcheng who were watching look at them with distressed and admiring eyes one by one, and muttered words of gratitude from time to time, they felt even more that before entering the city, it was simply right to listen to Ye Qing's pitiful advice.

"Is there anything you don't know yourself? Don't pretend to be confused with me here! Even if you want to bargain with my aunt, but ....... Ye Luyue listened to the words that came into her ears from time to time, and the words of those people in the royal city who wanted the royal family to reward Ye Qing and the others were about to be crushed, and she said hatefully: "The more you pretend to be pitiful like this, the less my aunt will be fooled!" The people may not know what is going on, and they will sympathize and admire you, but can my aunt not know? ”

"But...... We're a fact, I didn't expect it to snow here, did I? It's only August, don't you know, if it's in my big song, what kind of weather is it in August? It was the thinnest season for red men and green women, and the fair ladies wished that they would have fewer clothes on their bodies, so as to attract the attention ......of those literati and gentlemen. Ye Qing didn't admit that they were deliberately pretending to be pitiful.

“…… Bummer! Yelu Yue turned her head angrily, of course she knew what kind of weather it was in the Great Song Dynasty at this time, and she also knew that on the West Lake at this time, those literati and fair ladies had affectionate eyes and smiled like spring, but she never believed it, how could Ye Qing not know that it was common for snow to fly in August in Daliao.

Yu Guang looked at Ye Qing, who was still complacent and proud after being scolded by himself as a scoundrel, like a Liao heroic general who had returned triumphantly, beckoning to the people on both sides of the street, and after snorting dissatisfiedly in his stomach, he said: "My aunt set up a celebration banquet for you in the king's tent today, do you know?" ”

"Isn't that how it should be? How is your aunt going to reward us for helping her defend against the Khwarazmians? Ye Qing turned around and asked.

"yes." Before Yeluyue could answer, Temujin, who had been listening to them beside him, spoke: "I brought five thousand warriors from my steppe at the beginning, but now there are less than two thousand left, and if I go back like this, I will not be able to explain to our people." ”

At the end of his speech, Temujin looked sad, as if his men had really killed 3,000 people in battle.

The begging stone spirits on the side hurriedly echoed and nodded: "My Dajin Kingdom and Princess Chengli are big."

Liao was originally a feud, but in order for my Great Huaxia clan not to be bullied by foreigners, there are less than 2,000 people left of the same 5,000 people, but ...... This is nothing, as long as the territory of my Chinese nation is not plundered by foreign races, even if it is a feud, even if it is a ...... of death. ”

"Do you believe that this princess can now immediately return the Great Khan and the general, each with three thousand and one same warriors? And this princess also promised that after they met the Great Khan and the general, they promised to recognize you! They will also give the Great Khan and the generals, each with herds of cattle, sheep, horses, camels and other items! The snowflakes were all over the world, and Ye Luyue's face was cold for a while, but her bright eyes and bright teeth, and her appearance of ice and jade were not much of a deterrent at this moment.

Temujin and the begging gods and slaves did not have the slightest embarrassment after being exposed to lies, anyway, in their opinion, they made up their own lies, and now even they believe them, as for others to believe it or not, it doesn't matter, anyway, if you don't give enough benefits, they will stay in the royal city and not go anywhere.

Now that it is about to enter September, whether it is the Jin Kingdom or the Tatars, at this moment, when the cold winter comes, there is nothing to do, except for the tribes fighting on the grassland, they have nothing to do, so there is time to spend with the Da Liao royal family.

Ye Luyue could only give Ye Qing, who was elbowing out, with a big white eye: "Are you threatening this princess?" ”

"I'm just telling you one fact, it's better for you to ...... with your aunt." Ye Qingtian said shamelessly.

"Phew, you're a robber, you're blackmail!" Yelu Yueqi almost twisted the meat on Ye Qing's waist, but fortunately, at this time, they were already close to the king's tent, and in the snowflakes not far ahead, Yelu Pu Suwan personally led half of the Da Liao courtiers to show that he was waiting for the arrival of the coalition army, so Yelu Yue was unwilling to withdraw the jade hand that he hated.

The thinly dressed, cold cheeks red, and trembling pro-army, representing the entire army of the Tatars, Jin, and Song, shook three times in front of the indifferent Yelupu Suwan, but did not exchange for a promise from Yelupu Suwan, but was disgusted by Yelupu's sincere but no real benefit nonsense: this old lady is too shrewd, and it seems that what she said is a heartfelt word of thanks, but if you listen carefully, from beginning to end, this old lady turned out to be half a word of benefit without promise, On the contrary, the thinly dressed coalition troops were frozen for a while in the snow-covered clearing before they were taken to the celebration banquet.

"That's not the way, it's different from what we imagined." Temujin finally put on a thick fur coat at this time, and he also felt a little cold, after all, the pitiful and righteous appearance just now did not bring any substantial benefits.

"Yes, this actual emperor of Da Liao is too picky, when she spoke to our soldiers just now, all I thought about was, when I Dajin and the Great Song Dynasty jointly attacked Liao, why didn't I stick to it and kill them directly, otherwise I wouldn't have left a female emperor who was so picky!" The beggar gods rubbed their red hands and said dissatisfiedly.

"In the past, it was internal and external troubles, but now that the external troubles have been solved, only internal worries remain, and they have become more confident. But then again, this Jelupu is done quickly, and it is not easy to deal with, if just because of our poor appearance, she soft-hearted promises us all kinds of benefits, then she will not be inseparable from Xiao Li's stabbing fight, and she will not be at a disadvantage. Ye Qing bit her lip and said unwillingly.

"It's not what I want." Temujin said disappointedly.

", that's not what I want." Ye Qing pouted and said, I thought that even if Yelupu would not give any substantive thanks, he would give himself a glimmer of hope with Yeluyue, right?

But this old lady is shrewd like a fox, listening to what she said just now, it seems that she still intends to continue to use Yeluyue as bait to fish for herself.

Although in front of many courtiers in Daliao, Yelupu Suwan described Ye Qing as his own person, but in essence, Ye Qing not only avoided talking about the issues that Ye Qing cared about the most, but even if he talked about it, he also took it lightly, like scratching his boots, which made Ye Qing feel even more uncomfortable.

It was also the golden hall when they first saw Yelupu quickly, and after everyone sat down, the king of the southern courtyard was in a hurry.

Yelupu, who was sitting at the top, finished quickly, and a pair of small eyes flashed sharply, and then after stabbing in the flute, he immediately changed into a noble smile, and let people sit in the flute.

Even if Ye Lu Pu greeted Ye Qing and the others in a noble and elegant palace dress today, he still couldn't cover her ugly appearance, nor could he add even a bit of brilliance to her, but it was such a woman, after she was stabbed in the flute, only she smiled the most calmly and happily.

After Xiao Yuli thanked Yelupu and sat down, his eyes slowly swept to Ye Qing, Temujin, and Qishilie gods and slaves next to Yeluyue, the princess's left hand, and slowly spoke: "The three generals can defeat the Khorezm people and help me relieve the disturbance of the war on the frontier in Daliao, and this king is here to thank the three generals." ”

The words were so, but Ye Qing and the three of them couldn't feel a trace of gratitude from Xiao Li's words.

Temujin smiled and said, "The king of the Southern Courtyard has tens of thousands of elite soldiers in Hara City but refuses to fight, so we can only help the saint to relieve his worries, although this time we also suffered heavy losses...... ”

Ye Qing looked up at the complex geometric pattern above the main hall, and sighed in his heart: Temujin, now it seems that everyone wants to scrape a layer and bring it back, how poor is the grassland, is it poorer than himself!
