Xiaoxiao glanced at him with a little blushing and said, "It's better to wait for you to really marry me, I'm with you, okay?" I can't let you be gossiped about by others, you are a dignified prince, not an ordinary person. ”

Lu Jinping sighed and said, "Okay, this king is going to sleep peacefully, you can kneel in peace." ”

Xiaoxiao laughed and felt a little guilty in her heart, so she snuggled into his arms and made him light, and then got up to say goodbye and leave.

The next day, the chief of the Xueling tribe escorted the soldiers to the edge of his territory, and then said goodbye to Lu Jinping and them.

After a few more days, the wind and snow became more and more severe, the snow became deeper, and it was very difficult for the horses' hooves to walk in the snow. More and more soldiers fell because of the cold and sickness.

Princess Siyun knew how to deal with this kind of hardship and cold, and when the snow was relatively shallow, she insisted that Lu Jinping come down and walk to move his muscles and bones to enhance blood circulation and avoid frostbite on his hands and feet. In fact, he didn't know that after Lu Jinping had an adventure, his body's ability to withstand cold was far more than anyone else. But he obeyed the princess and walked with her.

The two of them also had a beautiful journey along the way, Xiaoxiao observed the movements of Commander Liu of the Royal Forest Army at any time, and saw that he did not make any arrangements, so he knew that it was not time to start.

That night, Lu Jinping was talking, eating, drinking and drinking in the tent with Xiao Xiaoyunzi and Ye Qingqing to keep out the cold, and the princess only stayed in the same tent with Lu Jinping after that night, so every night, he could only call Xiaoxiao and a few of them to have a good time.

While these people were playing happily, Xiaoxiao suddenly made a silent movement, lowered her voice and said, "Someone is here, and his martial arts are good, not a guard."

Lu Jinping was not surprised, there was no need to worry about having a top master like Xiaoxiao by his side. However, this person was able to evade the inspection of the Yulin Army. It's not surprising, but it is indeed different from the same class to be able to evade the vigilance of the ten plum blossom guards.

At this moment, a voice came from outside the tent, which was low but clear: "Lord Zhong." Can an old man come in? ”

When Lu Jinping heard this, his voice was quite familiar, and he groaned slightly, and couldn't help but say happily: "It turned out to be you, come in." As he spoke, he walked quickly to the master's door, lifted the curtain and went out, and saw a woman standing tall on a moonlit night. Standing in the snow and looking at him, it was Yelu Jue, the wife of the Khitan Khan.

Yelujue walked over quickly and said, "I'm sorry to visit late at night, you won't blame me without prior notice, right?" ”

"You're a rare guest, how could it be, please come in quickly."

Yelu Jue had to follow Lu Jinping into the big tent, and saw several women looking at him vigilantly, and couldn't help but smile apologetically and said, "I'm sorry." I have an urgent matter to discuss with the prince, and I have taken the liberty of visiting to disturb you. I'm so sorry. ”

Lu Jinping said: "This is a friend of mine, you go back, don't worry I'm fine, I'll send her out later." ”

Xiaoxiao's people knew that Lu Jinping had something to say, so they got up to say goodbye, and Yun Zi stared at Yelujue several times. Seeing that she was born very beautiful, although she was a little older, but she had more mature charm, she glanced at Lu Jinping vigilantly again.

Lu Jinping smiled and winked at her, and looked outside. Signal her not to worry. Yunzi snorted softly, picked up the curtain and walked out.

Lu Jinping hurriedly gave up his seat, and after Yelujue sat down, Lu Jinping poured him a bowl of wine and put it in front of him, saying, "I don't have tea here, only wine, drink." ”

Yelujue smiled with a roll of eyes, picked up the bowl of wine and drank it all in one gulp, wiped his mouth, and grabbed a steaming piece of lamb chop in the pot and ate it.

Lu Jinping smiled, this woman is really heroic, a heroic Khitan woman, so he poured her another bowl of wine.

Yelu Jue drank three bowls in a row before putting it down, and said to Lu Jinping: "Let's talk about business first, and then drink and don't eat, - I don't know if the lord has already thought about my previous proposal?" ”

Lu Jinping was stunned for a moment and said, "What proposal?" ”

Yelu Jue glanced at him with disgust, and said: "Do my son-in-law's business, I said, my daughter is definitely worthy of you, our Khitan and Tang Dynasty marriage, let my daughter be your side princess, you haven't replied to me yet." ”

Lu Jinping said: "I have written to the emperor and the crown prince about this, but I have not yet received a reply from them, and you also know that I can't be the master of my marriage." ”

Yelu Jue smiled and said: "As far as I know, the princess is wrong, the princess can be the master, you are just looking for this excuse because you still have concerns, in order to dispel this concern, I have brought my daughter, are you interested in meeting it?" Let you know that she is definitely worthy of the title of princess on your side. ”

"That's not what it means, if it's just a marriage between the two families, with such a warm wife as my wife, I will definitely consider it carefully, but this marriage involves the relationship between the Khitan and the Tang Dynasty, so it must be treated cautiously, without the nod of the emperor and the prince, I really don't dare to agree rashly, lest there be a change in time, and I am ashamed of my wife, and it is not easy to speak."

Yelu Jue was cold and said, "What's wrong? As far as I know, you have already discussed with Tubo to marry their prince's daughter as a side princess, is it possible that the daughter of my Khitan Khan is not as good as the daughter of a prince in Tubo? If you can promise them, why can't you promise me? ”

Lu Jinping smiled and said, "Since Madam has talked about this matter, then let's talk about it." - That's right, I have already discussed the marriage with Tubo and want to marry the prince's daughter as the side princess, not only because I have a deep relationship with Yunzi, but also because Tubo has always had a good relationship with Datang. Therefore, we think that their intention to marry is sincere, and the emperor and the crown prince simply agreed. ”

"Does the prince think that our Khitan return to the Tang Dynasty has impure intentions?" Yelujue's face became even more ugly.

"Madam, if this matter is said in detail, it will be meaningless, the Khitan rebelled before, and then rebelled, there is no need to turn back these things, this time we rashly proposed marriage, we also have to take a good look at it, and want to know whether it is from the heart or something else."

Hearing that Lu Jinping picked up the past, Yelu Jue was a little embarrassed: "The previous thing was not done by my husband, and my husband inherited the position of Khan after that." After my husband became a khan, he never provoked a war with Datang, and ******** wanted to return to Datang. The Turks and the Tang Dynasty are two-faced, saying one thing and doing another, always having the intention to deceive the Tang Dynasty, attacking the border of the Tang Dynasty while receiving relatives, robbing the people, burning and killing the captive population, we Khitan have not done this. You can all marry her Turkic princess as a princess, why are you so picky about us alone? ”

Lu Jinping said: "You don't need to talk about the Turks, just talk about the affairs of both of us." In this way, I happen to have one thing that is very difficult, if Mrs. really comes from the bottom of her heart and wants me to be your Khitan son-in-law, please help me complete this task. Prove that you are sincere. ”

"Okay, what's the matter? Listen to it, I'll see if it can be done, as long as we can do it, it will be fine. ”

Lu Jinping lowered his voice and said: "Let's tell you the truth, follow me to these five hundred Imperial Forest Army, they are not my people, they are sent by my opponent, and they are ready to be unfavorable to me." So I hope you can find a way to help me get rid of them. What do you think? ”

When Yelu Jue heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and said, "You mean that the person sent by your Tang Emperor to escort you to welcome your relatives is your opponent?" How is it possible, didn't the Tang Emperor know this? ”

"I can't tell you why, I don't really know about it, but I know the result. If you really want me to be your son-in-law, you can help me, otherwise I may not live to marry your daughter. ”

"Are you serious?"

"I wouldn't joke about this kind of thing, after all, hundreds of lives are at stake. It's just that now they are my enemies, and if I don't let them die, they have to let me die. You're the only one who can save me. -- The best thing to do is to let them meet the bandits and kill them all, so that I can give an account. ”

Yelu Jue pondered for a moment and said: "If this is the case, I can help you, although I have not brought many Khitan soldiers this time, I am still sure to destroy your five hundred Royal Forest Army." However, I want you to give me a promise, if I do this, you will marry my daughter as a favorite concubine, and our two families will marry, and my Khitan can return to the Tang Dynasty. ”

Lu Jinping said: "Okay, Mrs. is beautiful and fragrant, and your daughter is not far behind." ”

Yelu Jue smiled and said, "Are you praising me or hurting me?" In any case, just agree to this matter, and you will know in the future, if you agree now, you will get a great beauty like a flower! I'm leaving, we'll do it tomorrow night, and you'd better wear a mark, so that our people won't hurt you by mistake. ”

Lu Jinping thought for a while and said, "Then let's all put on white clothes, as long as you see white clothes, don't kill them." ”

Because white clothes are reflective, they are not as good as dark clothes to absorb sunlight in winter, and they are colder, so almost no one wears white or light-colored clothes in winter, they are all dark colors, so that there is no confusion between friend and foe.

"Very good, it's decided, let's do it on the second watch. You'd better find a reason to get these people drunk, and that would save a lot of trouble. ”

"It's easy, I just have to say drink, and they're cheering."

After discussing it properly, Yelujue told her to leave, and Lu Jinping wanted to send her, but she said no. Lu Jinping came to the outside of the account, saw her quick movements, and quickly disappeared into the darkness, only then did he know that this Khan's wife turned out to be a martial arts master.

After she left, Lu Jinping immediately called Xiao Xiao and the others to the big tent to talk about it. Let Xiao Xiao quietly prepare some white coats, which can wrap her body in her body, and when she is done, send them to her tent and come out, and don't leak the news to the outside.

Xiaoxiao doesn't know what Lu Jinping wants these things for? But since there is a request, of course, we must do our best to do it. Yunzi said that he was going to pass through a market town in front of him, so he might as well rest and eat in the market town, and take advantage of this time to buy some white cloth in the market town and find a local tailor to make it.

Lu Jinping was very happy when he heard this, and said, "How do you know that there is a market town in front?" (To be continued.) )
