Five days later, the lord of Liao left the land of the spring bowl and began to march south under the escort of the leather room army.

Ostensibly, the civil strife had ended, the rebels had either surrendered or been destroyed, and Yelu Zhangnu fled to Shangjing with only a few hundred men, while the Wanyan Jurchens fled back to their own territory. If Zhou Quan is replaced, he will definitely concentrate his forces at this time, and take advantage of the unstable foothold of the Jurchens to destroy Wanyan first.

However, the choice of Yelu Yanxi, Xiao Fengxian and others was to go south first.

There is no other reason, whether Yelu Chun, the king of Wei, really rebelled, is the real confidant for Yelu Yanxi!

Zhou Quan wanted to remind him that the Jurchens were the real henchmen, but at this moment he couldn't even leave the Song State Mission.

Since their return, the Khitans have monitored the entire mission under the pretext of protecting the safety of the mission, not allowing them to go out, let alone contact with the Liao or Jurchens outside the pavilion.

And the hall is like being deaf and dumb, and I don't know anything.

Obviously, the monarchs and ministers of the Liao State did not want the Song State to completely see through the reality of the Great Liao, and they did not want the Song State envoys to have the opportunity to contact the Jurchen and other tribes.

It's just that after this chaos, the news of discord within the Khitan people will definitely be transmitted back to the Great Song Dynasty. Even if they held the mission, they wouldn't be able to stop it.

In fact, the Khitan monarchs and ministers also discussed this matter, whether to detain the Song people for more time, but the result of the discussion was that the Song people could not be given an excuse for the Northern Expedition.

Moreover, in order to avoid the chaos and robbery of the Great Song Dynasty, the implementation of the previous Yucheng Covenant needed to be faster.

As Yelu Yanxi's army moved south, there was no longer Yu Liyan to harass him along the way, which made Zhou Quan feel quiet but also a little lonely.

He actually likes the feeling of getting along with this Da Liao princess, which is more relaxed and comfortable, more like when he gets along with his friends in another life.

When they went, they were a little slow, but when they came back, both the Liao people and the Song envoys traveled day and night, and it didn't take much time for them to return to Zhongjing in the Liao Kingdom.

Originally, I thought that the lord of Liao would be able to see them after a while to deal with state affairs, but I didn't think that after staying here for less than three days, Yelu Yanxi met them.

The time of this meeting was very short, and judging from his expression, Yelu Yanxi was quite relaxed and happy, and in the interview, he happily agreed to the request of the Song envoy to return to China.

From Yelu Yanxi's mouth, the Song envoy learned that Yelu Chun did not rebel, but arrested several envoys sent by Yelu Zhangnu to instigate him to rebel, and sent them to Zhongjing for Yelu Yanxi to dispose of.

And in order to show his loyalty, Yeluchun also changed his previous position against Yongcheng and turned to support the Yucheng Covenant.

Therefore, on February 16 of the second year of Zhenghe, the Song delegation finally left Zhongjing and began its journey back to China.

When he looked back again, the city wall of Zhongjing was already just the horizon in the distance, Zhou Quan sighed slightly, turned around and urged the horse to chase the mission.

He originally thought that Yu Liyan would see him off, and he still had many arrangements to explain about the secret agreement between the two, and in addition, Zhou Quan also wanted to meet this Da Liao princess.

Soon after the Great Song Dynasty mission left Zhongjing, it was the Changxing Pavilion of Daxing Prefecture, which was also the place where the mission rested on the first day. When Zhou Quan was packing up the forage and feeding the purple horse himself, he suddenly heard a voice behind him: "Zhou Lang! ”

He turned back in surprise and joy, but saw Yelu Yu Liyan dressed as a Song girl, standing behind him.

"I thought you weren't going to see me off." Zhou Quan said with a smile.

"I told my father that I wanted to keep you as an official in Daliao, but my father didn't allow it, so I ran away when I got angry." Yelu Yu Liyan pouted.

She has always been dressed as a Khitan, and now this dress makes Zhou Quan feel familiar and a little fresh. Putting down the food dressed as hay and beans for the purple horse, Zhou Quan clapped his hands and walked side by side with Yu Liyan: "If there is a chance, we will meet again, but at that time, you, the princess, don't pretend not to know me, a little common man of the Song Kingdom......"

Trumpet!

What he got in exchange for this was, of course, a whip from Yu Liyan.

Although he didn't use all his strength, the whip still pulled out a mark on Zhou Quan's hand.

"Xiao Fengxian pleaded with his father, saying that I have made great contributions to this rebellion, and when I add a feudal yi, guess where is the fiefdom?"

This fiefdom was suggested by Zhou Quan to Yu Liyan, and it belonged to the "Rongcheng" under their control.

Zhou Quan's heart moved slightly, and he thought for a while and said, "Could it be that you are coming to Su?" ”

Coming to Su is on the Liaodong Peninsula, if it is really here, then their "Yucheng" will be convenient.

Yu Liyan smiled proudly and shook his head: "Wu Qing! ”

Zhou Quan was stunned for a moment, and then his face changed slightly, and he knew whether to be happy or opposed.

He knew very well the location of Wuqing, which was near Tianjin in later generations, and at this time the Yellow River entered the sea, which was from the south of Wuqing into the Bohai Sea!

The geographical location here is not bad, but it is located at the junction of the Liao and Song dynasties, and if you really want to do something, I am afraid that you will be detected by the border pass.

"What, don't you like it here?" Yu Liyan couldn't help but be a little unhappy when he saw Zhou Quan's appearance.

Although Wuqing is good, it is a border place, and in order to obtain this place, she has made some concessions of interests, which is what she has gained. And choosing Wuqing, her purpose is very simple, here is close to the Great Song Dynasty, so it is closer to Zhou Quan.

Zhou Quan smiled: "I like it, how can I not like it...... But it's useless to like it, the key is that you have to like it yourself, after all, it's your fiefdom. ”

With that, both of them suddenly fell silent.

Yu Liyan was a little troubled in his heart, and vaguely felt that because the two belonged to different countries, they had become separated, and they were far less close than when they were hunting and fighting together on the banks of the mixed river. She was annoyed, and she waved her whip in her hand, and for a moment she twitched at the tree beside her.

This year, the weather is very cold, although it is already February, although the green shoots have been seen on the trees on the roadside, there are still snowflakes, she pumped, the snow fell, Zhou Quan hurriedly dodged, but saw Yu Liyan standing in the snow, just don't hide.

In Yu Liyan's eyes, there was still some kind of glittering thing shaking.

"Ahem...... Princess...... Yu Liyan, let me tell you, Wuqing is a good place, your first priority there is to build a port, in the future I will send a boat, use the ship to transport the goods of the Great Song Dynasty to come here to exchange markets with you, and keep it so that we can all make a lot of money! ”

Although Zhou Quan was distressed, he could only pretend not to know.

He began to talk about his future plans, and Yu Liyan listened silently, not knowing if she had written them down.

The two talked for more than half an hour, and later, Zhou Quan's plan had been revealed, and he was also dry-mouthed, so he stopped.

It's getting late, too.

When it was time to say goodbye, Yu Liyan raised his face and looked at Zhou Quan: "Take your hand and show me!" ”

Zhou Quan was stunned: "What?" ”

"Bring it!"

Zhou Quan raised his left hand, but Yu Liyan pointed to his right hand. On the back of his right hand, there was a faint red mark, which Yu Liyan had just drawn out with a horsewhip, although it was not heavy, it would not disappear in half an hour.

"Does it hurt?" Yu Liyan asked.

Zhou Quan's heart rippled slightly: "It's okay, it's okay!" ”

"I don't like you like this the most, everything is perfunctory, it hurts, it hurts, it doesn't hurt, it's okay to have anything!"

Yu Liyan grabbed his hand and said dissatisfied.

Zhou Quan wanted to withdraw her hand, but she grabbed it tightly, she was stunned for a while, and then said softly: "Just now you asked me, will I forget you, how could I forget...... But you, a man, will you forget me? ”

"How can I forget a beautiful and noble princess like you!" Zhou Quan said suddenly.

"I don't believe it!" Yu Liyan said.

"Then you say, how do you believe it?" Zhou Quan asked.

Then he saw Yu Liyan suddenly bow his head and bite the back of his hand, until the skin on the back of his hand opened, and he screamed in pain, and Yu Liyan let go.

At the corner of Yu Liyan's mouth, there were still traces of his blood.

But the princess of Da Liao laughed brightly at this time: "So I believe that you can't forget me...... Even if you want to forget me, when you see your own hands, you will definitely think of me again! ”

After finishing speaking, Yu Liyan turned around, ran away quickly, and jumped on his jujube red horse. She immediately glanced back at Zhou Quan, smiled again, and then sang loudly.

She sang Khitan dialect, and after staying in Liao for several months, Zhou Quan can now vaguely understand what she sings.

"When the water returns to the hometown in spring, the wilderness is boundless and green, the river is deep and long, the boat will sail, don't forget each other, don't forget each other......"

Although the lyrics are plain, but the love is deep and timeless, Zhou Quan listened to the singing voice slowly drifted away, especially the sentence of "Lang Xi", gentle and gentle, for a while, I couldn't help but be stupid.

Even if Yu Liyan's figure could no longer be seen and the singing could not be heard, Zhou Quan still stood there and did not deal with the wounds on his hands.

"Ahem......" When he was staying, he suddenly heard a cough, and then, Zheng Yunzhong walked over with square steps.

"Brother Zhou Xian, why is the eldest husband without a wife, a gentle hero in the township." When Zheng Yunzhong passed by Zhou Quan's side, he said casually.

Without waiting for Zhou Quan to respond, he quickly disappeared. Zhou Quan smiled bitterly, and didn't know how to explain it, but when he turned around, he found that Tong Guan's dead eunuch appeared with an expressionless face.

"What does this mean, Captain Tong?" Finding Tong Guan staring at him, Zhou Quan asked.

"What's so good about a woman?" Tong Guan muttered, for some reason, Zhou Quan felt that there was some kind of sourness in his words.

"Of course you dead eunuch doesn't know how good a woman is......" Zhou Quan slandered in his heart, and then saw Tong Guan and a soul floating away.

The dead eunuch may have been accustomed to eavesdropping and peeping in the palace, and walked silently, and it seems that he will be more wary of him in the future, lest he see and hear something.

Zhou Quan was secretly vigilant, and when he turned back again, he was startled again.

But it was Di Jiang, with a sad face, who also looked at Zhou Quan with complicated eyes.

"Uncle Di, what do you look like?" Zhou Quan's scalp was numb.

"This, Da Lang, you can win the heart of Princess Da Liao, that is naturally a great thing, and you can be famous outside the territory, but you must not forget that there are still teachers at home waiting for you to go back." Di Jiang swallowed and vomited.

Zhou Quan was furious: "What are you talking nonsense!" ”
