Chapter 12 The Great Husband Seeks His Life and Country There must be a reason for murder

(10,000 words.) I don't want to write it, and I hope you can read it. οΌ‰

Yelubei looked at the Central Plains man in front of him, who was younger than him, and he couldn't say that he had too much dignified expression. There are countless young and promising people in this world, but there are very few people who are really eloquent and strategic, and the talent is not the wine and meat on the table, how can you catch one? Not to mention that the other party is just a businessman.

Businessmen, who value profits and have little affection, have fallen into the eyes of money all their lives, how much talent can they have? And every heroic who has achieved extraordinary achievements, which one does not have a broad mind and feelings like the blue sky and grassland? Those who can't fit the world in their hearts are destined to not be able to seek the world. A businessman who only has money in his sight may be able to rival the country, but in this era of Jin Ge Iron Horse, he is destined to become a vassal of the powerful.

"What is the matter with the gentleman coming to the widow? The widow has no business to do with the gentleman, and if the gentleman comes for profit, I am afraid he will be disappointed. Yelubei said that he knew that the other party had something to do with Yelu Deguang, which was the reason why he was willing to let the other party sit down, but since he could let the other party sit down at the previous moment and say a few words to the other party, he could also let the other party leave his seat at the next moment because of disagreement.

Li Congjing smiled politely, "I am a businessman, and there is a profitable place, so I came to disturb it rashly, and it is naturally for profit." It's just that the lower ones are not seeking profit in front of His Highness, but making profits. He took out a small brocade box, placed it on the table, and pushed it in front of Yelubei, "This is a sea pearl from Cochin." I heard that this thing grows in the deep sea, and only people who are familiar with water since childhood can find this thing in the sea, which cannot be said to be rare in the world, but it is also quite rare. His Highness may not know that less than 10 percent of adult men who go to sea every year in search of pearls can find it, and only 30 percent of them make it back from the sea alive. ”

Yelubei drank to himself, only glanced at the brocade box and looked away, looking excited.

"Although he is a businessman, he has always liked to make friends with heroes and heroes in the world. Su Wen His Royal Highness is extraordinary, is the backbone of the Khitan Kingdom, has long been acquainted, but has never had the opportunity, today's chance encounter, thanks to His Royal Highness's not abandoned, can drink at the same table with His Royal Highness, fortunately! Li Congjing opened the brocade box for Yelubei, revealing a huge pearl inside, and in an instant, the whole room seemed to be illuminated by bright light, and the fairy aura was extraordinary.

A look of surprise flashed in Yelubei's eyes, obviously shocked by the quality of this pearl, and after that moment, his eyes returned to calm, and Li Congjing didn't see the slightest greed in it, which surprised him.

Yelubei said lightly: "There is indeed no shortage of people in the Khitan Kingdom who like rare things in the Central Plains, if you put this bead in front of others, it may become your strength." But in front of the widow, this is no different from an ordinary stone, but it is just more eye-catching. After speaking, he impatiently gave an eviction order, "If the gentleman has nothing else to do, then leave." ”

Li Congjing did not feel discouraged, and took back the brocade box without leaving it, but said leisurely: "There are few people in the world who are not precious and rare things, and such people often have great ambitions, and there are many people who can swallow the Eight Desolations, it seems that His Royal Highness is such a person." ”

Yelubei's eyes sharpened, and then he sneered again: "A businessman also dares to speak up about the world? ”

"Your Highness is ridiculous!" Li Congjing said, "Heroes don't ask where they come from, heroes are also born involuntarily, the world is impermanent, and they know that carp can't jump over the dragon gate, and pheasants can't feather into phoenixes?" Today, when the wind and clouds meet, the sky is impermanent, and the honor and disgrace are humiliated for a while, what is the way? Just like my Central Plains, when King Jin succeeded to the throne in the past, the Liang Dynasty was so powerful and the Tang Dynasty was so weak, but once the world changed color, it only took ten years. ”

There was a look of vigilance in Yelubei's eyes, but he still said: "Sir's words, when I first heard this, I was deafening, and when I thought about it, it was just ordinary words, and it was all over the street. ”

"Words are not unconventional, but seek to express their hearts directly, I heard that the Khitan warriors are all straightforward, isn't it so?" Li Congjing said with a smile.

Yelubei frowned and looked at Li Congjing seriously, "What do you want to do when you come to the widow today and say these words to the widow?" Without waiting for Li Congjing to speak, he added: "Since you know that the Khitan warriors are straightforward, don't beat around the bush and go around the bush in front of the widow." Otherwise, within three sentences, the widow will never let you enter this room again! ”

Li Congjing was not arrogant or impatient, and slowly said three sentences, "First, there is no malice towards His Royal Highness under the command, not only no malice, but also goodwill; Second, I believe that His Royal Highness also has a spectrum in his heart, and he is not just a businessman; Third, does Your Highness think that after three or five years, Your Highness will still be the Your Highness today? ”

The wine glass that had reached Yelubei's lips was lowered, and Li Congjing's words revealed too much hidden information that he needed to think about. Li Congjing's words are still not very straightforward, but if some words are really said, they will involve deeper things, and there will be no room for maneuver at that time, whether it is Li Congjing or Yelubei, they will face a zero-sum choice at that time, which is a level that the two of them cannot go deep into when they first see each other no matter what. And Li Congjing has actually expressed enough sincerity.

Yelubei stared at Li Congjing, his eyes were like a tiger wolf, and he said word for word: "Do you believe it or not, now the widow can take you down and take off your head?!" ”

Speaking of which, Li Congjing no longer deliberately pretended, he needed to change a conversation strategy, so he sneered: "If you have a low status, it's not a pity to die." However, death is not the most unacceptable thing in the world, and for some people, there are more terrible things than death! The two words he didn't say were power, "Since I dare to come today, I have already put this life in the hands of His Highness, His Highness wants it, but he takes it." It's just that there is only one head in the bottom, which is no better than this pearl, which is unique in this place, and there is no semicolon in the Central Plains. Your Highness took it today, but when you think about it in the future, you will never be able to touch it again! ”

"You're threatening the widow?!"

"No matter how idle I am, I have no interest in threatening a crown prince."

Yelubei squinted slightly, leaned back slightly, and snorted coldly: "Do you want the widow to seek a country with you?" Or is it a country of widows?! You are too delusional, but the widow is a Khitan! ”

Li Congjing didn't save face for Yelubei at all, and sneered at each other: "Your Highness is wrong! This Khitan country is not your country yet. Not now, and not in the future! In that case, how can you talk about your kingdom? With a sneer, he continued: "Besides, Your Highness has to think clearly, the prince of the Khitan Kingdom is not alone!" ”

Yelube's expression changed violently, and his eyes were extremely complicated. In the middle of the ring, he approached Li Congjing and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?!" ”

……

After Ming An took the letter and newspaper handed by Li Siping and read it, his face became more serious and ugly than Li Siping. He put down the letter calmly, his heart felt like a big stone had been pressed down, and he stood up heavily, no longer in the mood to care about the game of chess. He paced back and forth in the room with his hands in his hands.

Li Congjing...... This Li Congjing, isn't it just a guy who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it, it's completely because he has a heroic father, so Meng Yin sat in the position of the envoy of the Youzhou Festival? In this case, why would such an incompetent person arrest almost all the people we sent to Youzhou to inquire about the news? After Ming An's remarks of the contents of the letter, he was first shocked by himself, and he was a little annoyed and angry, "We sent out so many people, how could he capture all of our people?" How is this possible! It is General Li Cunxian who has been in Youzhou for so many years, and this has never happened! Could it be that the people who went south this time were all rice buckets, none of them were disguised, shouting that they were spies all over the streets? ”

Li Siping smiled bitterly and shook his head, "The people who went south this time are all elites, and they are well disguised, and the minister has also specially explained in advance, I thought it would be foolproof......

Ming An took a deep breath for a while, barely convincing himself to calm down, "What's going on?" ”

Li Siping had to face the facts, he said: "Maybe we underestimated this Li Congjing from the beginning......"

"That's impossible!" Ming An waved his hand, "Even if he has real skills, how can a guy who has not yet reached the crown have instincts?" There is a role like a sentry in every country, and it is impossible to capture them all, which is something that is almost impossible for manpower to do! "In the end, it's like I'm angry. What he's angry about, maybe he doesn't even know it himself. Perhaps, all human anger stems from hatred of one's own incompetence?

"But the facts are in front of us." Li Siping spread his hands, "We actually know very little about this Li Congjing. However, since he can replace Li Cunxuan and serve as the envoy of the Lulong Festival in Youzhou, if the Tang Emperor Li Cunxuan has not been burned out of his brain, it is impossible to use a person who has no ability! The question is ......"

"What is it?"

Li Siping sighed, "Now it seems that the problem is that he seems to be too capable!" ”

Ming An's face changed for a while, he suddenly thought of a possibility, so he sat back in front of the chessboard, lowered his voice and said to Li Siping: "Is there a possibility, Li Congjing's appointment as the envoy of the Lu Long Festival is itself the result of the internal struggle in the Tang Dynasty." Mr. should know that the internal interests of such a big country must be very complicated, if Li Congjing himself was sent to Youzhou because of internal struggles, then ......"

"Then it seems that Li Congjing's departure from Youzhou is to promote and reuse, and the ability to capture our spies is his ability, but if there is another meaning behind this, you might as well imagine that our spies are Li Congjing's opponents, and they have spent a lot of money to capture them for a long time, and what they actually want to capture is the Khitan spies, because in that case, it is impossible to say that the Khitan will send troops to retaliate against Youzhou, then Li Congjing is very likely to die from the plan to kill people with a knife!" Li Siping reasoned and analyzed, and finally the more he talked, the more frightened he became!

Ming An was obviously also shocked, and he lost his voice: "Originally, we were counting on Lu Longjun to rescue Bohai when necessary, if Li Congjing himself is difficult to protect, then what should we do?" ”

There was a moment of silence in the room.

After a long while, Li Siping said resolutely: "If this is the case, we must help Li Congjing!" ”

Ming An nodded, "At least, you can't let him die so early!" We're still waiting for him to rescue you and me! ”

"But how do you get started?"

"Let's find a way to contact Li Congjing in Youzhou first!"

Speaking of this, both of them looked extremely heavy, and they both lost the nature of continuing to play.

The current situation seems to be extremely unfavorable!

……

Somewhere in the northern grassland, a few hundred miles away from Hulukou, there is a Khitan tribe with hundreds of warriors, numbering about a thousand. Compared with those large tribes with tens of thousands of people and hundreds of thousands of people on the grassland, this tribe obviously seems to be out of the flow, but compared with more tribes that only live in a hundred people, the Hebu is undoubtedly much more powerful.

Yelu Abaoji officially proclaimed himself emperor, and after the establishment of the Khitan State, several cities of considerable scale arose on the vast grassland, and those cities were undoubtedly the center of one party's rule, gathering a large number of people, and governing the grassland tribes on the vast land, but that was only a part. For many Khitans, they are still scattered on the steppe, living in tribal units handed down from their ancestors. The Congregation is one such tribe.

Today is a sunny day.

The old chief of the tribe leaned against his tent, basking in the sun leisurely, he had a vicissitudes of life, and a long scar on his forehead, which was the mark left by him when he followed Abaoji to fight against Youyun when he was young. And now, he is old, and he can no longer follow the god in his heart, Abaoji, to fight around, and can only bask in the sun outside the tent and remember the past eventful years.

"When I first followed the emperor to Jizhou, I cut off the heads of three Tang soldiers and robbed a Han woman. Tsk, the women of the Han family are delicate, and they are born to be good-looking, slippery, but not comparable to our grassland people. It's just a pity that this woman later called my commander at the time to take a fancy to her and took it away. For this, I also ran to the emperor to complain, and our great and wise emperor gave me three women as compensation, but I was very happy. Squatting beside him, his grandson, who is already a teenager, recounts the past.

He continued: "Since then, every time the emperor summons an army to the south, I will definitely follow him, and in ten years of war, I have commanded my troops to kill hundreds of Tang troops, and also robbed countless Han people to present to the emperor to repay his kindness back then. Therefore, as long as you follow our great emperor, there will be countless glory and wealth, just like I can be the chief of the Ministry of Harmony, that is also the emperor's own order! ”

His grandson's eyes were bright when he heard this, and he was eager to try, and couldn't help but ask, "When will the emperor go south again?" At that time, I will also follow the emperor to kill the Tang army and rob the women of the Tang Dynasty! ”

The old man who was in line with the dry hand looked at the grassland, where there were patches of cattle and sheep, white and vast, it was the most beautiful scenery on the grassland, and these riches were all obtained by him with his great military exploits, with the heads of the Tang army and the people. At this time, although he is old, he still wants to go to the south once and grab some more Han characters to come back, after all, the tribe is not too rich now, and there are still many things missing.

He touched his grandson's head and said with a smile: "Come on, the emperor has never let his people down." You've grown up too, it's time to try your hand at the sword and bow with the Tang Army, and it's time to loot some women and come back......"

Before he could finish his words, a black line suddenly appeared in his blurred vision.

The tribesmen, who were grazing cattle not far away, were running back to the tribe at this time, either on horseback or with a step. He Zhili was startled, and in his field of vision, the black line expanded and thickened, and it didn't take long for it to become a black tide!

Black robe and black armor.

It wasn't the tide, it was the cavalry that converged into the tide!

The dull sound of horses' hooves is like the back waves of a great river pushing the front waves, gradually ringing, getting louder and heavier.

The tribesmen of the Fit tribe shouted frantically and ran back, like sheep being driven.

"What's that?" The grandson who fit the persistence stood beside him, looked ahead and asked blankly.

He trembled all over, and he could barely believe his eyes, so that his eyes were full of fear deep to the bone marrow. He has fought all his life, but he has never heard of it, and he has never thought that that army would actually set foot on the grassland! How dare they set foot on the grassland?!

That's right, that's the cavalry of the Don Army!

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!" In front of the Tang Army, which was rumbling like thunder and surging like a tide, he ran back frantically with his persistence, and could no longer care about answering his grandson's question, "The army is assembled, the army is assembled!" Get ready to meet the enemy! He shouted these words almost reflexively, and only after the words came out did he realize that something was wrong, the huge cavalry on the opposite side was not something that their small tribe could compete with, so he quickly changed his words: "Run, run!" After the adult man gets on the horse and breaks! ”

Panic and screams instantly resounded throughout the tribe, everyone was in a mess, and many more were dazed and completely overwhelmed.

They had lived here for so many years that they had forgotten that the war had never been far away from them. And they would never have thought that in the land of the grassland, there would be a Tang army!

When most of the people in the fit department reacted, the adult men got on the horses with knives one after another, and the women and children fled in panic, everything was already too late!

The cavalry of the Tang Army soon rushed to the tribe, and the young general in white robe and white armor at the head of the group held high the lance and shouted to kill, and thousands of cavalry rushed to all corners of this chaotic tribe in an instant like a flood that swept through the village!

"Block them, block them!" The fit force had already stepped onto the war horse, and he held a saber in his hand, desperately beckoning to the fit man around him.

Hundreds of men from the Convergence Division, as they usually hunt and go on expeditions, screaming and waving their sabers to meet the Tang army in front of them, they thought they still had the strength to fight.

But today, the appearance of the Tang Army not only means that the offense and defense are changed, but also the long knife of slaughter, which has changed hands! They rushed up, like the wind and sand hitting the iron plate, and were knocked back in an instant, and their screams instantly became miserable!

In line with her perseverance and effort, she greeted the white-robed general, and slashed down with her saber, just like she did countless times when she faced the Tang army and killed the Tang army! But this time, before his knife fell, his chest was pierced by a lance, and his body was taken away from the horse, and then thrown to the ground by the Don general!

Thousands of cavalry of the Tang Army attacked the Khitan horse team and the tribes behind the horse team, and the long lance stabbed out, immediately bringing a rain of blood. The Khitan cavalry in front of them, who were invincible in the previous conquest and in the Youyun generation, were like papier-mΓ’chΓ© tigers in front of them, and they would shatter when they poked! They easily dispersed the cavalry team assembled by the Junction Department, sent them to hell one by one, and then they slaughtered all over the tribe, swords in hand, ruthlessly and ruthlessly harvesting the lives of the Khitans!

The whole camp was soon filled with corpses, and the grass was stained red with blood. The Khitans fled for their lives all over the mountains, but they were no faster than the hooves of the horses ridden by Tang, and they were all killed on the road.

For the Tang army, this was the first time they had entered the grassland since the Huangchao Rebellion. This is war, but also revenge! Each of them looked grim and ruthless, and they were using their actions to announce to the grassland people that the once powerful Tang Empire was now back!

This is a one-sided massacre, and from the appearance of the Don army here, the beginning of the war means the end.

The Khitan Fit Department has since been erased from the map!

In less than an hour, the battle ended, and the cavalry of the Don Army began to gather.

The white-robed general dismounted at this moment, stretched out the map, and gathered with several young generals to whisper something, and among them, there was a man who looked like a scribe. At the end, the white-robed general asked, "Mr. Wei, do you have anything else to add?" ”

Wei Dao stood up, his hands in his sleeves, and glanced up at the grassland sky, "Let's decide." ”

Guo Wei nodded, put away the map, and said: "This time, the commander ordered the gentleman to go out to the grassland, the purpose is to train the grassland tribes, so that the gentlemen are familiar with and use the skills of the grassland people's conquest, so that they know themselves and their opponents." Now it seems that the implementation of this strategy is more difficult than imagined, but it is not impossible to complete, a few days later, the tactical literacy of the gentleman to run has been significantly improved, the Khitan cavalry does not need to be burdened, because of the food to the enemy, the war strategy of thousands of miles has been roughly clear, even if the Khitan cavalry sends troops in the future, we will not be helpless. ”

"The commander's intention is not to defend, but to attack! This is to rule the body of others with the way of others, the military commander is really a military genius, the Central Plains cavalry went deep into the grassland, and used the tactics of the grassland cavalry to fight with it, such tactics won the essence of Wei Huo's tactics back then. Wei Dao sighed, "This time, after the successful sneak attack on Yelu Deguang at Hulukou, I thought that the Khitan tribes on the grassland would be vigilant, but we obviously overestimated the vigilance of these tribes. The tribes on the grassland have been comfortable for too long, and they have not been attacked by the Central Plains cavalry for a hundred years, so that they have forgotten that the Central Plains cavalry can also crisscross the desert for thousands of miles! ”

Guo Wei's eyes were full of energy, and then he was a little worried, "The military marshal entered the West Building alone, that is the Khitan hinterland, it is a dangerous situation in a dangerous situation, and there is no big force around him that can be mobilized as a contingency, and the last general is really worried about the military marshal." ”

"Yes, the military commander is bold and not afraid of risks. But those of us who are subordinates can't help but be worried about the military commander! The safety of the military commander is related to the overall situation of the entire Youyun, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is related to the overall situation of the entire grassland and the Khitan. The commander can't make a mistake! Wei Dao thought of the guy who was much younger than him, and in just one year, the image of the other party in his mind was tall day after day. He always thought that he had seen the other party clearly, but every time it didn't take long, he would powerlessly find that the other party was really much deeper than he imagined, full of indescribable mystery, so that sometimes he couldn't help but ask himself: Is there really a person in this world who is born to know?

"After passing the order, the army will change into the clothes of the Khitans, and it will be particularly important to hide the identity in the next battle. The cattle and sheep in the tribe can be slaughtered, and those who can be brought with them are brought with them......" Guo Wei turned around and ordered the army behind him.

At this time, from the direction they came, they rushed to and slew, all dressed as Khitans. But Guo Wei and Wei Dao still recognized each other's identities at the first time: the sharp soldier of the Military Intelligence Department.

After the sharp soldier of the Military Intelligence Department dismounted, he handed over a handsome order from Li Congjing, and after Guo Wei and Wei Dao read it, they were surprised in their eyes. Subsequently, they simultaneously set their sights on the West.

……

Yelubei watched Li Congjing's back disappear at the door, and his mood was complicated.

Li Congjing still didn't tell Yelubei his true identity in the end, and there are some things that are said and not spoken, the difference is really big. Even at this moment, Yelubei had already guessed the identity of the other party, and when he intended to tempt, the other party did not deny it. But from beginning to end, the other party did not admit it. Jerubi was not a foolish man, and he knew what he was doing.

If today's meeting between him and the other party is exposed in the future, he can also say that he does not know the true identity of the other party, and only thinks that the other party is a businessman, so as to escape a lot of criminal responsibility. At the same time, the other party did not explain his identity, but he was also giving him time to think about it, so that he could think clearly and see if he should have a deeper contact with him.

A step deeper contact is to seek the country.

In fact, the meeting between Yelubei and Li Congjing today seems to be an accident, but it is not accidental. In the past few days, the people around Yelubei have already been arranged by the other party to contact him, and handed him a mouthful, testing whether he is willing to sit down and talk. If it weren't for Yelubei's approval, what was the possibility that the two sides would be able to meet in this wine shop, and Li Congjing would be able to bypass the guards outside his door and appear in front of him directly?

It's just that after the real contact, Yelubei still can't make up his mind for a while, and he is still hesitating. There are some things that he knows that the other party is right, and some things he clearly knows are necessary to make a living, and how the future depends on the game between the two sides, not that after he Yelubei ascends to that position, he must be with Datang, or bow down to the other party, when the time comes, Khitan will still be Khitan, and Datang will still be Datang.

But Jerube was still undecided.

With this ambivalence in mind, Jerubi returned to the palace. What he didn't expect was that someone was already waiting for him here.

"Min'er, why are you here?"

The girl, whose real name is Yelumin, hooked her hands behind her back and looked at Yelubei with a smile, "What, I can't come to see you if I'm fine?" How did you act as a big brother, and the girl was not happy when she came, heh, what kind of expression did you have? ”

Yelubei put aside his happiness and showed a smile that he thought was kind, "How can I be unhappy that you came, you haven't been here for a long time, the little girl who used to stick to me all day long, now when she grows up, she won't be rare for me as a big brother!" ”

"It's so sour, it's more sour than the people of the Central Plains!" Yelubei wrinkled his nose, came over and hugged Yelubei's arm, and said coquettishly: "You still say that I am, it is obvious that you are busy with business all day long, and you don't play with me every time you come!" It's all your fault, it's all your fault! ”

"Okay, okay, it's all my fault, then tell me, what do you want to play today?" Jerube waved his hand generously.

"I want to ...... Drink! Jerhelmin said.

Yelu was stunned, then his eyes darkened, touched her head lovingly, and sighed, "Don't you still want to marry?" ”

"That place, who wants to marry it!" It's good that Yelubei didn't mention this stubble, but when he mentioned Yelumin, he was instantly aroused by sadness, and he shook Yelubei away, tears overflowed his eyes, and he pointed at him and shouted: "You stinky men, in your eyes, you only have the country and the world, only the power, and you don't have any family affection at all!" Father is like this, you are like this, you are all stinky men! ”

"Min'er, I'm ......"

"Don't call me Min'er, there is no Min'er in your eyes, only Yelu Min, only the princess of the Khitan Kingdom! You all lied to me, you all said you would be by my side for the rest of your life! But now? My father wants to marry me off as a tool for marriage to stabilize his country, but you, the dignified prince, don't dare to say a word for your sister-in-law for the sake of your crown prince, for fear of annoying your father, so you have been avoiding me for this! Am I that annoying? The pain of many days made Yelu Min's emotions suddenly out of control, and tears blurred her originally pretty cheeks, "Since you hate me so much, then I'll leave!" I'm leaving, I don't want to see you again! ”

After speaking, he touched a handful of tears and ran out without looking back.

"Min'er......" Yelubei stood in place, but he didn't have the courage to chase him out, so he could only let out a heavy sigh. For a long time, he laughed at himself, helpless and desolate.

Min'er, I'm just a precarious prince, and my father doesn't listen to my words......

When Jeremiah ran out, she repelled the guards who she thought were clearly following her to protect her, but were actually watching her, and ran alone through the streets, wiping tears as she ran.

After a long time, she was tired of running and crying, stopped, and squatted down on a street corner where there was no one in the city. She buried her head deep under her knees, unwilling to look at the world that made her sad.

She didn't want to go home, the splendid mansion was just a cold cage for her.

She was like a wounded little beast, licking and licking her wounds alone in a no-man's corner. A street in front of her was a brightly lit street, but for her, it was a world away. She doesn't belong to those prosperity, and those prosperity doesn't belong to her, they may have brought joy to each other in the past, and now, they are strangers.

I don't know how long it was, Yelu Min raised her face embarrassed by tears, she took one last look at the world, and for a moment, she felt that this street, which had made her so familiar now, had betrayed her! No, it's the world that has betrayed her and abandoned her!

She glanced behind her, where there was an artificial river running through the city.

She smiled suddenly.

Maybe that's where she ends up in life.

She walked over with her feet raised.

Step by step, she approached her destiny, and she also left her past and present step by step.

When she stood by the river, she looked at the cold river and suddenly thought, at this time, why didn't anyone hold her and give her a hug?

She closed her eyes, ready to take a light leap.

"Min...... That's, Min Girl! There was a soft call from behind him.

Ye Lu Min turned his head unexpectedly, and then he saw the Central Plains man with a gentle smile. What's his name?

Li ...... Li Jing? Yelu Min couldn't describe his mood at the moment, was it joy, surprise, or helplessness? But before she could figure it out, she was raising her feet and wanted to take a step forward, but she underestimated the slippery bluestone slab by the river, and also overestimated her already tired body, she didn't even have time to say anything, her body fell backwards, "Hey, hey, ah......"

Li Congjing looked at the scene in front of him in surprise, clearly saw the other party falling into the river, was stunned, and then scolded me fuck, and immediately followed and jumped into the river.

"Save ...... Help me...... Yes...... Ah, save ......"

When Li Congjing fished Yelumin out of the river, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, if it was known that the Khitan princess had drowned in front of him, he would not be able to tell even if he had a hundred mouths. Glancing at the other party's appearance, Li Congjing's nose itched, and almost a nosebleed spurted out!

In early autumn, it was slightly cool, Yelumin's clothes were wet and clinging to her, and the not thick fabric perfectly outlined the outline of her body.

I really didn't expect that this girl was not very old, but she was quite expected...... The grassland people grew up drinking mare's milk, and they really ate where to make up for it.

"This, Miss Min, will I send you back?" Li Congjing asked tentatively.

Jeremiah shook his head desperately, like a rattle, and almost forgot to speak.

Li Congjing was a little embarrassed, "Look, it's getting late, and it's not suitable for ...... on the street."

Only then did Yelu Min raise his blank eyes, glanced at the sky, and muttered, "Yes, I don't know when the sky will be dark!" ”

A black line emerged from Li Congjing's forehead: It's already dark, right? If he hadn't been familiar with Khitan customs on the street, he would have returned to the trading house a long time ago. Of course, he didn't know what happened to Yelumin, but he couldn't help but be a little suspicious, didn't this princess be poured into her brain by the river and be stupid? It's a bit tricky. Thinking of this, he looked at Yelu Min's eyes a little strangely.

Ye Lumin was frightened by Li Congjing's meaningful eyes, instinctively shrunk his delicate body, and his eyes were flustered, "You, what do you want to do?" ”

Li Congjing knew that the other party had misunderstood him, so he had to explain: "Look, it's getting late, and it's not a matter for you and me to be alone here, and you are easy to catch a cold when you get wet, do you want to find a place...... Fix it? ”

Ye Lu Min didn't think about it, and nodded desperately, "Okay, I'll go to your trading company to solve it!" ”

"Hmm." Li Congjing also felt that the trading company was a good choice, which was better than opening a room in an inn. However, when Li Congjing stood up, the problem came again, he walked a few steps, only to find that Yelu Min was still sitting on the ground, and he didn't move at all.

Li Congjing asked curiously, "Why don't you move?" ”

"I, I can't move!" Yelu Min said with a sad face.

Li Congjing was a little weak, he looked at the pedestrians coming and going on the street, and felt even more embarrassed, "Then what should I do?" ”

"What else can I do? You carry me away! Ye Lumin said as a matter of course, seeing that Li Congjing was still hesitating, his face was a little strange, and he tilted his head, "You won't be too weak to carry me, right?" You Central Plains people don't seem to be good! ”

"It's not okay to carry you, it's too ugly!" Li Congjing said, "It's okay to hug, it's okay to do it anymore!" After saying that, a princess picked up the princess, ignored the strange eyes of the pedestrians on the street, spread her feet and began to run wildly.

Ding Hei silently followed behind them, intentionally or unintentionally widening some distance, and his face was a little unnatural. You know, Jerhelmin is still dripping with water.

"Wow, you're running so fast!" In the dim light, Yelumin screamed in surprise from the crowd, "Wow, it's amazing!" ”

"Can I do it?"

"Okay, it's so good, it can't be done anymore!"

"Then shut up, don't you see so many people looking at us?"

"Oh......"

……

The Imperial Palace of the West Building City, the Imperial Study.

Yelu Abaoji was still reading the recital, he was older, so he buried his head very low, only in this way could he see more clearly. He seemed to have an endless number of movements, and he was always so busy that one wondered if his old bones could be eaten.

"These old chiefs are really not like words, they have been writing for so long, and they still can't figure out the format, and they don't even understand the title! What is even more intolerable is that there are still people writing music on parchment! Abaoji raised a roll of sheepskin in his hand, unable to hide his anger, "Tell me, do these people really don't know how to write a cantata, or do they deliberately embarrass me?" ”

Yerod pondered and said: "Some old chiefs are indeed not very suitable for the strict system of the empire today, they are used to living a casual life on the grassland, and some long-standing habits are difficult to let go of for a while, although there are not many such people, and the power is not large, but after all, it is a trouble, and it will play a bad role as an example." ”

"That's a good point. Since these old bones can't adapt to the new stuff, they don't have to stay in that position anymore! There is no shortage of enterprising young people in every tribe, and young people know better than these old bones what the imperial order is! I'll leave this matter to you, and I'll give you half a year, and I'll make it all clear! Abaoji looked at Sensen.

"Yes, Father."

Abaoji's voice softened a little, and he asked again, "How is the matter of Li Jing handled?" ”

Yelu Deguang did not hide it, and said honestly: "I still haven't found it out, they are hiding very deeply." Moreover, the manpower we sent to Youyun was strictly blocked by the Tang Army, and the roads that were unobstructed before were now covered with Tang Army's eyeliner, and many people were folded in it. ”

"And how are you going to continue this?" Abaoji's eyes were sharp.

"I came to see my father today to tell my father about it." Yelude said lightly, his momentum gradually climbed, and he slowly gained a domineering spirit, "Since we have already suspected him, and we have been suspicious for so long, according to Erchen, there is no need to check it anymore, just do it." What are we going to do in the Khitan Kingdom, and what strong evidence do we need? Skepticism is enough! Since he arouses our suspicions, then they deserve to die! It's just a caravan, there's no reason to hesitate! ”

"You've finally figured this out, it's good, you didn't disappoint me!" Abaoji praised, "Not only the Khitan, but anywhere in the world, as long as it is something you and my father and son want to do, why do you need evidence, why do you need a reason?" As long as we have an idea, it is already enough evidence and reason! ”

Then he asked, "When are you going to do it?" ”

"Erchen immediately mobilized manpower, immediately seized the trading company, and arrested Li Jing for interrogation!"
