At this time, more than a dozen horsemen rushed from a distance, and the three horsemen behind had faces, but the war horses were much taller than the other steppe cavalry. Bo Shenghuo Erbo's face was slightly pale, and he watched the three horsemen gallop to the front, and one of them turned over the saddle and dismounted, and saluted: "Messenger Yelu Shuxue, to the northwest of the Great Liao Kingdom to ask for an envoy, Bo Shenghuo Khan greeted." He took out a yellow-skinned notebook from the saddle's baggage, respectfully handed it to him, and said, "This is the will of His Majesty the Emperor to the northwest." ”

Bo Sheng was not arrogant, but he did not dismount at this moment, but sat high in the saddle, motioned to the guards to take over the will, and unfolded it gently, his brows suddenly tightened, and he looked at Yelushu thoughtfully. Seeing this, Uruk hurriedly asked, "Great Khan, what's the matter?" Without waiting for Bo Sheng to answer, he turned his head and stared at Yelu Shuxue viciously. Although the nomadic tribes in the north and south of the desert were nominally subject to the Liao State, this bond was extremely loose. Now Uruk is only on the orders of Bo Shenghuo, even if he starts a war with the Liao State tomorrow, he is unequivocal.

Jerushxue also held his breath, and he stood on the ground, unceremoniously staring at Uruk on his horse.

After a while, Bo Sheng sighed and said to Uruk: "The Khitan Emperor said that Datong Mansion has already given the Murbo people as a territory, and it is still counted. His Majesty had sent Urgon and Tachi with their men first. He turned his head, looked at Yelushu coldly, and said in a hazy voice: "The envoy of annoyance told Your Majesty that since the Great Liao Kingdom has kept its promise, we Murbo people will not break their promises. ”

Yelushu Xue Daxi: "Thank you Great Khan!" He said in his heart, sure enough, the tiger poison does not eat children. I heard that Bo Shenghuo was overindulged in lust in the past, and several young sons were killed by the Xia people, and now he only has one son, Xiao Tachi, so he naturally doesn't want him to be lost under Yunzhou City.

"Great Khan!" Uruk reminded, instinctively feeling that this Jerushxue was like a fox. Bo Shenghuo interrupted him, looked into the distance, and said in a deep voice: "Although the Khitan people may not have any good intentions, but for us, this is also an opportunity. It seems that Yelu Dashi is going south, and we can't let go of this opportunity. ”

............

The sea breeze blew into the cabin with a hint of warmth, and Chen Kang's guest room was next to the captain's room. There were two sergeants guarding outside, and he didn't bother to get out of the cabin, so he simply found a map and a fine ruler on the ship, and marked the movements of the Liao and Song armies in the near future, and if he was Yelu Dashi, how would he deal with the current situation. Thinking about coming and going, they all feel that the current situation in Liao is not optimistic. The 100,000 troops of the Song Dynasty approached Yunzhou, and it would be better if the Xia State responded to the battle. However, the Protectorate retreated under the pressure of Guanzhong. The Anton Military Division did not want to fight this battle in the first place. The idea of the generals, captains, Shangzhu and protectors who led Guanzhong was that it was better not to fight with Song Guoxiao. Either you will fight to destroy the country and completely swallow up the Kanto, or you will do business honestly and maintain the prosperity of the market.

The Xia army retreated, and before Xijing could take a breath before Yelu Bijie could take a breath, Yang Yanqing approached the city and forced the Liao army to withdraw from Yunzhou. The elite soldiers of the Hedong camp were at the head of the Song State, and it was not easy to come to the Liao army. In addition, the Song army divided its troops to receive other Shanhou states with great fanfare, and the Xijing Xingying only defended the Xia State, and did not attack Guanzhong. In the past few days, the Protector Mansion has also seen it clearly, and is happy to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. On the other hand, the Liao State, although it swept away the Jin State's henchmen, hundreds of thousands of troops fought for several months, and it has become the end of a strong crossbow. The Liao army rushed from Huanglong Mansion and Liaoyang Mansion to Datong Mansion, more than 2,000 miles, and those who could rush to rescue Yunzhou in time were probably only tens of thousands of elites. In addition, Nanjing Dao had to guard against the Song State Hebei camp, and the troops were also stretched.

Yunzhou has become the center of the Liao and Song Dynasty disputes, Chen Kang leaned over the map and measured the distance with a ruler, estimating the time it would take for the Liao army to arrive in Yunzhou, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, so calculated, the Liao State is very likely to not be able to keep the Xijing Road, Yelu Dashi led the Song Dynasty to reject Liao, and the result was to blame.

At this moment, Miss Han came to visit, Chen Kang immediately put down his ruler and stood up with surprise on his face. Seeing Han Ningshuang standing at the door wearing a big coat, he hurriedly said, "It's windy outside, come in and sit." After saying that, he let her in, and looked for tea and water all over the house, and poured the tea with all his hands, because he was excited, and spilled a lot.

Han Ningshuang's eyes were slightly red, and she looked at Chen Kang doing these things with a complicated expression, and was silent and did not speak. Chen Kang put away the tea set, sat down, and said with a smile: "There are no good things on the boat, the dragon and phoenix group is still from last year, you take care of it." "Although the people of Xia like to fry green tea, Han Ningshuang has lived in the Song Dynasty for several years and is quite familiar with the tea ceremony. When Chen Kang first saw her show this art, he was shocked, so he always had Song Guo's tribute dragon and phoenix group tea by his side, just to entertain Han Ningshuang.

I saw the boiling water gurgling into the rabbit cup, the tea met, and the soup flowers suddenly resembled elegant ink and suddenly resembled wild cursive. Chen Kang was able to achieve this point in the tea ceremony without a trace of thought, which was not much better than those sons of Bianliang who lingered in Yaji all day long, this person's talent was really not allowed to be a brother, but as the second son, he was not as strict as the prince Chen Chong, and acted casually. With the slight stirring of the tea whisk, the tea powder flows with the waves, and the soup veins and veins transform into various patterns, delicate and picturesque, and then disappear after a while, leaving only the tea fragrance of the house, which makes people feel the impermanence of the gathering and dispersion of life karma.

Han Ningshuang said in a low voice, "I'm here to say goodbye to you." ”

This is a bit strange, because it is usually the person who leaves to say goodbye, not the person who sent it. Chen Kang's face changed slightly, the tea whisk in his hand trembled slightly, he lowered his head, the tea fragrance was white mist, and he couldn't see people's eyes clearly. He smiled reluctantly: "When the Ming Dynasty sets sail, it's not too late to say anything else." Come. As he spoke, he pushed a cup of fragrant tea in front of Han Ningshuang.

Han Ningshuang took the teacup with both hands, and still said: "Kang has an old custom, whenever a new king succeeds to the throne, if he is not married, he will specially pick out a few days, and the most beautiful and moving women in the country are all selected by the new king, and the selected one will be given a golden peach and become the princess." After His Royal Highness returns to Kangju City, if he has not been a favorite person, he may wish to follow this law and choose a good match in the country. Her voice was slow and clear, and Chen Kang listened to it as cold as if he was in an ice cellar, and he asked, "Ning Shuang, are you really so ruthless?" The Han family doesn't even have a man, so it's so important to revive the Han army? Don't you marry for the rest of your life? ”

Han Ningshuang shook her head and said in a low voice: "There are some things that you don't understand. ”

With that, she stood up and hurried away as if she were running away from something. She walked with her head down in a distraught, not wanting to bump into someone before she took a few steps, and almost fell, but was held on the shoulder, Han Ningshuang was annoyed in her heart, and was about to push him away, but when she looked up, she saw Zhao Xingde looking at her worriedly, her eyes suddenly turned a little red, and she said bitterly: "Why are you again?" ”

"I'm here to find Captain Li, there is something to do." Zhao Xingde explained. He looked left and right, it was windy at night, and very few people came to the deck, and he met Han Ningshuang here by chance, as if he had made an appointment in advance. Zhao Xingde was a little embarrassed, and he didn't know what to say, so he looked at Han Ningshuang like this, and saw that her eyes were slightly red, as if she had been wronged, and turned in the direction of the sea, her shoulders trembling slightly. Zhao Xingde unconsciously followed, standing beside Han Ningshuang. Neither of them spoke, a lack of moon in the sky was like a moth eyebrow, under the clear light, the sea in the distance was dark and dreary, only the tide rose and fell, bringing up a line of white waves.

After being silent for a long time, Han Ningshuang said in a low voice: "You have been moved, haven't you?" She turned her face to look at Zhao Xingde, her eyes were extremely clear, as if she could see through a person's soul. Zhao Xingde hesitated for a moment, nodded, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry." A wave of shame welled up in his heart, and he didn't dare to look at those eyes like smoke. At this moment, Han Ningshuang suddenly stepped forward, wrapped her arms around his neck, and stood on tiptoe. Zhao Xingde only felt that the cherry lips were delicate, and he suddenly fell into the trap of gentleness. Both felt each other's pounding heartbeats.

Han Ningshuang raised her head, her face vaguely stained with tears. She whispered, "Don't forget me." With a slight force on his arms, he broke free from Zhao Xingde's arms, walked forward quickly, and soon ran out of this dark deck. The bow of the ship was shrouded in the halo of lanterns, and Han Ningshuang called the sergeant and put down the hanging basket. The small boat of the Han army has been waiting under the gunboat, and after picking up Han Ningshuang, the two sailors rowed hard, and the boat silently spread out a circle of ripples, and slowly sailed towards the dark shore......
