Chapter 115: The princess arrives
Jermane grunted out and shouted, "JerΓΌshubao! Aren't you going to kill me? Come out and speak! β
The soldiers on the opposite side really got out of the way, and a horse ran out "tick-tock", and immediately the figure of a knight had appeared in the eyes of everyone, Chen Yuan let out a long breath, and was about to shout when the knight suddenly let out a woman's shout: "Brother Jiu, is it you?" β
Chen Yuan was stunned for a moment, and Yelu Ne grunted and hurriedly pressed Pang Xi who was already preparing to leap beside him: "Don't panic! Own! β
This sentence made the tension in the entire team disappear in an instant.
Chen Yuan only realized at this time that although it was early winter, the clothes on his body were all wet. The composure and courage just now were gone, and he sat on the ground with his butt and didn't want to get up again at all.
A group of men and horses in front of them approached, and everyone found that their armor was distinct, and the knights on the horse looked sturdy, and it could be seen from their equipment and weapons that these were definitely regular soldiers of the Liao State.
A female general at the head of the team, holding a spear one foot long, wearing a cyan hood, could not see her appearance clearly.
Hu Jing hurriedly helped Chen Yuan up: "Brother Chen, are you okay?" β
Chen Yuan shook his head, wanted to stand up, but couldn't stand up steadily, he waved his hand, wanting to tell Hu Jing that he was fine, but his chest was like something blocked, and he couldn't say a word.
"He's fine, give him some water to drink." It was the female knight who spoke, and after Hu Jing heard this, she immediately took the water bag and put it on Chen Yuan's mouth, and after a few mouthfuls, the feeling of blockage in her chest disappeared immediately. After Chen Yuan adjusted his breathing, he finally felt comfortable.
"Brother Jiu, are you injured?" The female knight was very concerned about Jermane's injury.
JerΓΌne grunted her head to show that she was fine, "How did you know I was here?" β
The female knight looked at his face, and finally smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, my father asked me to pick you up, and he knew that Yeluren was going to be unfavorable to you first, so he asked me to come with the guards and horses." On the way, I met a caravan, and they told me that you fled along the river with some people, so I chased after the river, and fortunately I caught up. β
She said this, took off the hood on her head, her black hair fell down like a waterfall, and the torch shone on her face, Chen Yuan saw a charming melon seed face, sixteen or seventeen years old, those two eyes were big, flashing with a spirit surname, and her expression was generous, showing the bold beauty of a northern woman.
JerΓΌne grunted and said, "Here are some of my friends who met on the road. If it weren't for their help, I would have died a long time ago. β
Speaking of this, he also turned his head and introduced to Chen Yuan: "Brother Chen, this is my imperial sister and the princess of Liao today." β
Chen Yuan jumped up from the ground with a hula, ran up in a few steps, and stretched out his hands excitedly: "Oh? Princess? Fortunately, I will be glad to meet you! β
Chen Yuan had just approached the princess, when suddenly two spears came from the side, blocking his way, and the two guys with big shoulders and round waists stared at him viciously, and that expression clearly meant that if Chen Yuan took another step forward, they would immediately start killing people.
Chen Yuan was awakened by these two spears, and then remembered that his greeting etiquette seemed to be a little ahead of his time, and he coughed at the moment, put away the look of a wolf seeing a sheep on his face, and bent over ninety degrees: "Villain Chen Shimei, I've seen a princess!" β
Obviously, Chen Yuan's actions just now had made this princess despise him very much, so the princess ignored him and walked straight to Yelu Nie Gulu: "Brother Jiu, I received news from the military camp the day before yesterday, saying that your Wen Tong conspired with the Song army to kill 3,000 soldiers and horses under Xiao Yuanqiu, but is there such a thing?" β
Yelune grunted, "Yes, if I don't do this, I'm dead by now." β
The princess's voice was a little uneasy: "That's the case, I'm afraid it's a little troublesome to go back." β
Jerion chuckled: "It's better to have some trouble going back than not going back." Rest assured, I have a solution. β
The princess nodded: "When I came, Yeluren had already forced his father to make Hongji the crown prince. β
Yelu Ne said coldly: "Don't worry, by the way, they want to make Hongji the crown prince, what did the imperial uncle say?" What did Hong-gi himself say? β
The princess shook her head: "My father doesn't agree, Hong Ji can't." After Hongji heard that those people were going to make him the crown prince, he hid in the palace in fear for several months and did not dare to come out. β
Yelu sighed: "He is just too cowardly, I really didn't expect that the emperor's uncle I was mighty, and Hong Ji was so unmanly." β
The princess laughed: "If my brother is manly, how can my father let you sit on the country?" β
This sentence said that Yelu Pur's heart went, and he couldn't find a way to answer for a while, but the princess said generously: "Brother Jiu, we are all our own people, we grew up together since childhood, you have always taken good care of me and Hong Ji, I believe that you will not treat us badly when you become the emperor in the future." β
Yelu Gollum immediately nodded: "Uncle Huang trusts me so much, and Sister Huang also fully supports me, if I forget this, what face will exist between heaven and earth?" Don't worry, after I become the emperor, you can say whatever you want! β
The princess looked a little dazed: "Brother Jiu, you can take care of Hongji." I might be leaving. β
JerΓΌne looked at her with a grunt, "Oh? How so? β
The corners of the princess's mouth flashed with a sad smile: "The party people sent an envoy to negotiate with my father, and in order to buy time for the reform of the Great Liao, and also to let the Great Song Dynasty and the party members fight, he has promised to marry me to Li Yuanhao." When the negotiations are over, I will go to Xixia with the party members, and I may never see Brother Jiu in my life. β
Suddenly the purring eyes of Jerone became extremely terrifying, and she stared at the princess's face for a long time before she regained her normal color.
Chen Yuan couldn't help but feel sorry when he heard this, in his imagination, people like Li Yuanhao who relied on martial arts to conquer the country, most of them were arrogant, and when he thought that the beautiful princess in front of him was actually going to be crushed under him by that beast-like man, he suddenly felt a little worthless.
A beautiful woman like this should be pressed by herself to be appropriate!
"Ahem!" A deliberate coughing sound came from behind him, and Chen Yuan looked back and saw that Hu Jing's face was already unkind.
Chen Yuan ignored her, in Chen Yuan's mind, even if a big tree had more shade, how could he give up the entire forest for her?
Besides, if you are allowed to look at Di Qing, you are not allowed to see the princess?
"Ahem!" The voice was a little louder, Chen Yuan thought about it, it was better to go back and comfort him. So he turned around and ran to Hu Jing: "What? What's uncomfortable? β
Hu Jing's face was as ugly as Chen Yuandang said in Wentong's barracks: "I thought you really couldn't stand up, why did you run faster than me when you took off your hood?" β
Chen Yuan sneered and said, "Say hello, after all, this is the minimum politeness." β
Hu Jing sneered: "Why didn't I see Pang Xi to be polite with them?" β
Chen Yuan deliberately pretended to be a little angry: "Don't make trouble unreasonably, okay?" I'm the shopkeeper, I'm not going to let Pang Xi go? Okay, she is a princess, and she is about to marry that Li Yuanhao, I just have any ideas, I can just look at it twice, don't be angry. β
Hu Jing thought about it, and her heart suddenly calmed down.
Over there, Yelu Gollum quietly pointed at Chen Yuan and said to the princess: "This person is very intelligent, if he can be used by me, he will not worry about big things." The royal sister was polite to him on the way. β
The princess looked at Chen Yuan, and also whispered: "Brother Jiu took a fancy to him, so he ordered him to help you." β
Jerion grunted, "How can it be so easy? Let me tell you the imperial sister, anyone who comes to seek an official is a mediocre talent. And some really useful people, they don't care whether they are officials or not, so we have to find a way to find them. β
The princess chuckled: "No wonder my father values the royal brother so much, and the younger sister has been taught." β
Speaking of this, Yelu Purr suddenly amplified his voice and said, "Brother Chen, why did you run over?" We have some things to discuss with you. β
Chen Yuan patted Hu Jing's hand: "I'll go over for a while, don't make any more trouble, do you hear?" β
Hu Jing nodded unwillingly.
Chen Yuan ran towards Yelu Neghu: "I thought you were going to say something confidential, so I'll avoid it for now." β
Yelu Ne smiled lightly: "Brother Chen, it's okay to listen, this is a well-known thing in Daliao, and it won't cause you trouble." β
If you want to say that you are not curious, it is fake, and knowing more about Liao is very helpful for whether you can complete this mission, maybe if you make good use of a piece of information, things will become very simple.
Yelu Ne said: "My Da Liao has now entered a critical moment, the imperial uncle strives to learn from the Song Dynasty, improve our government and economy, this is a wise move, only Yelu Ren first those decadent generations, still under the banner of inheriting the ancestral legacy, I hope we continue to live the previous life." β
Chen Yuan immediately said: "The changes in the past dynasties have all opened the way with blood, and the struggle between those who want to change the law and those who are conservative is bound to be cruel. β
Yelu Ne nodded and said, "Well, Brother Chen is right, when I go back this time, Uncle Huang is ready to have a showdown with those people, I think as Brother Chen said, there are always people who want to drain the blood." β
The princess glanced at Chen Yuan at this time, and then said: "Actually, a month ago, my father had already hinted that he had issued an intermarriage decree to allow Khitans and Han people to marry, and the children belonged to the Khitan people after marriage. However, Yeluren disobeyed them before they resisted his father's commands. β
From their conversation, Chen Yuan knew a very important thing, the court battle of the Liao State was not inferior to that of the Song Dynasty, but more intense. Because their emperor has been involved.
The envoys of the party have arrived in Yanjing, have they arrived in Song Qi?
This Chen Yuan didn't know, and neither did the princess. At least when she left, the envoys of the Song Dynasty had not yet arrived.
From this point, it can be seen that in terms of intelligence work, those righteous gentlemen led by Xia Zhu are far from doing as well as a villain like Lu Yijian.
In fact, diplomacy is also a battlefield, and in this contest, the Song Dynasty has already lost at the starting line.
And can he complete the task assigned by Lu Yijian?
Chen Yuan didn't know, he was just very clear now, there was still a large group of horse thieves tracking his whereabouts, and it was a question of whether he could get to Yan Kyoto alive.
Of course, the appearance of the princess with these elites of the Liao Kingdom gave them some chips in their hands. You can continue to play this game.
Yelu Gurgle looked at Chen Yuan and asked, "Brother Chen, what do you think of our emperor's reform?" β
This is to follow the practice of Emperor Wei Wendi, and it is indeed a more suitable way for ethnic minorities to invade the Han people. What's more, those Song people who resisted more resolutely have been almost killed by the Liao.
Chen Yuan nodded and said, "It is indeed very wise, if it succeeds, the situation in the Liao Kingdom will change immediately." It's just that, the ninth prince, we are still facing a very dangerous situation, whether you can go back to complete your business, whether I can do my business, I really can't say, I think, we should think about how to deal with the difficulties in front of us. β
Yelu Gollum agreed: "Well, what Brother Chen said is, Imperial Sister, you and Brother Chen will work closely together in the future, and now we can only tide over the difficulties by working together." β
The princess's eyes looked at Chen Yuan for the first time, and Chen Yuan found that her eyes were very charming, with a trace of firmness, a trace of strength, and a woman's softness. In that soft low, Chen Yuan read a little sadness again.
