Chapter 22: Stealing Jade

"Princess Ya."

As soon as he saw Yeluya, Luo Ke crossed his hand and saluted, and the number of courtesies was perfect, but his demeanor became cold: "Princess Ya, this is a friend below." ”

"Friends?"

Yeluya sneered, and the woman in front of her was dressed in plain white clothes, as elegant and white as a pear flower. Slender figure, slender waist and a hand, beautiful facial features, clear eyes, heroic and gentle, that kind of taste is something that I don't have anyway, I am jealous and hateful in my heart, jealous and hateful when I am on the ground, and I say unscrupulously: "Friend? I think it's your look. ”

Ding Yuluo couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this, anger swelled in his chest, Luo Kedi's face sank, and he said coldly: "Princess, please respect your identity." ”

Seeing the difference between his attitude towards the woman in white and towards herself, Yeluya felt bitter in her heart, and said with a red face: "Identity? It seems that General Luo should respect his identity, can anyone come and go freely in this place? ”

Luo Kedi smiled: "Your Highness, this is the imperial city, but not the inner city." The magnates, officials and gentry are all satisfied. Miss Ding is my friend of Luo, and the palace guards have commanded the envoy to take their friends to visit the imperial city, so she still has this qualification, right? If the princess thinks that Luo has exceeded her authority, she can report to the emperor and Niangniang, although the princess has a noble status, she has no right to interfere with the behavior of my court officials, Princess Ya, do you say yes? ”

"You...... Hello ......"

Yeruiah trembled with anger, and tears welled up uncontrollably. She didn't want to lose face in front of Ding Yuluo, her rival in love, so she turned around and brushed her sleeves away. This move had already fallen in the eyes of a caring person not far away, and when she saw Yeluya leaving, the person's eyes rolled and quickly cut off her future.

Ding Yuluo said uneasily: "Brother Luo, because I offended the princess because I caused you, I am afraid that it will be inconvenient for you......"

"It's nothing, we're going to leave soon, I'm afraid of where she's coming from." Luo Kedi smiled and said, "Besides, I saw Miss Yuluo as soon as I saw it...... Belch...... As such, you are Brother Yang's sister-in-law, you should be loved and cared for, how can you be bullied. ”

Ding Yuluo stretched out his slender jade hand, suppressed a pear blossom that covered his eyes, looked at Princess Ya's distant back, and complained: "Why don't you say that I am your sister?" Wouldn't that be a lot of trouble? ”

Luo Kedi blurted out: "How can I recognize you as a sister." ”

"Huh?" Ding Yuluo raised his eyebrows in surprise and said funny: "Expedient measure, General, where have you read all your military books?" ”

Luo Ke said curtly: "This ......, your reason, because you know my relationship with Dong'er, can be used as an excuse." Dong'er and I were taken to Khitan by them, how could it be that a girl heard about us from the Central Plains and traveled all the way to defect? Once it is said, it will arouse suspicion, this reason cannot stand up to scrutiny in front of Princess Ya, she wants to be suspicious, let her go, I don't mind......"

Ding Yuluo glared at him angrily when he heard this: "My lord, you don't mind, but I mind, okay?" ”

There was a visible flush in Luo Kedi's beard, and he smiled dryly: "This ...... I wonder when Miss Yuluo won't mind? ”

Ding Yuluo stretched out his hand and pointed at it, and said with a narrow smile: "Wait for the sea to change into a mulberry field, and wait for the sky to be old, hmm...... Maybe this girl won't mind anymore. ”

Luo Kedi breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile on his face: "It's good that the girl has promised me time." The sky is wasted and the earth is old, the vicissitudes of life, and the enemy of Roque has to wait for ......"

Ding Yuluo's eyes squinted, and Ying Ying glanced at him: "This guy ...... Is it really the Luo army master who is decisive in the mouth of the second brother, and the Luo Ke enemy who led three hundred dead soldiers to block thousands of horsemen? Look at his mouth as if he was flying and spoke, but it was more beautiful than those sons and brothers who were used to chanting the wind and the moon."

Seeing her tears, Luo Kedi became uneasy, and said, "Miss Yuluo, Luo...... It's too Meng Lang, if you offend the girl, Shang Wanghaihan ......"

Ding Yuluo's heart was clear, her cheeks were a little hot, she avoided Luo Kedi's gaze, and said in a casual voice: "You didn't offend me, since you are so patient, then ...... You just wait patiently......" said the flowers and willows, and walked quickly.

Luo Kedi slapped his head hard, and said in annoyance: "Xiaoliu said that her daughter's family likes to talk back, and she said that she didn't offend, so I really offended her." Alas, why are you so clumsy, since I was a child, I only know how to dance with guns and sticks, how can I know how to make girls happy, I knew that there would be today, I should have learned some Fengyue skills with my third brother......"

While feeling sorry for himself, he chased Ding Yu down.

As soon as Princess Ya left Luo Ke's sight, tears rolled down like pearls that had fallen off the line. At this time, a person suddenly appeared in front of her, Princess Ya couldn't dodge, and saw that the person was her cousin, the eldest son of King Yelu Sanming, and one of the eight commanders of the palace, Yelu Chumad, and hurriedly lowered her eyes slightly, afraid that he would laugh at herself.

"Oh, which one of these people ate bear heart and leopard gall and bullied my Ya'er?"

After all, the tears on her face did not avoid Yelu Chumad's eyes, Yeluya stopped slightly, and choked up: "General Chumad." ”

"Hey, just call my cousin, what's not going to be a general, Ya'er, what's wrong? Who bullied you? Yelu Sanming approached with a smile, glanced at Luo Kedi, who was walking away from him, and said with a crossbow mouth: "Is it for that Southern Barbarian?" ”

"Cousin, General Luo is a minister in the same hall as you, and he is a colleague, so I am afraid it is inappropriate to be so commensurate......"

"Tut-tut, still protecting him at this time? Ya'er, my cousin really doesn't know what to say about you. ”

Yelu Chu laughed wildly and said, "I know, that Nanban ...... Commander Luo, who is fluent in literature and ink, and fine martial arts, although he has a big beard and is messy, his eyebrows and eyes are actually very handsome, if he is shaved, he must be a little white face that his daughter's family likes. Now, he is favored and trusted by today, and his future is bright. It's only been a long time, and he has already been the commander of the capital, and he will have the opportunity to go out to fight a few battles and come back with a few great achievements in the future, so he still has it? Speaking of which, it's a reluctant match with our family......"

Yeluya's cheeks were hot, and she said angrily: "Brother Party, don't talk nonsense, there is nothing between Ya'er and General Luo." ”

Yelu Chu smiled wildly and said, "Ya'er, in front of your eldest brother, what do you need to hide?" Who in the palace can't see General Luo's intentions? ”

He smacked his lips and said, "But...... Looking at this situation, General Luo seems to have no intention of being our Khitan horse. ”

Yeluya's face suddenly darkened, and Yelu Sanming smiled: "But...... If Ya'er really wants to marry Commander Luo, there may not be no way, cousin will teach you a way to make you wishful......"

Yeluya's eyes lit up, and she blurted out, "Cousin, what can you do?" ”

Yelu Chu said wildly: "But...... This one...... Fa'er ......"

Yeluya wiped her tears, grabbed him by the sleeve and stomped her feet, "Oh, cousin, you can say it quickly." ”

Yelu Chu looked around sneakily, and whispered to Yeluya, Yeluya's face turned red when she heard it, and she said angrily: "What kind of bad idea is this, cousin?" How can a princess of a country ...... How can you do this? ”

Yelu Chu rolled his eyes wildly and said disapprerovingly: "If you don't get off the sleeve, how can you catch the eagle in the sky?" If you don't get a clamp, how can you catch the ferocious steppe wolf? No matter what method you use, you always have to put the bait first. I see that Commander Luo has been fascinated by the girl in white, and the opportunity is fleeting, if you hesitate any longer, the prey in hand will fly away. As long as you can get the man you like, what does it matter if you use some means, Ya'er, don't make a mistake for yourself......"

Yelu Chu smiled slightly, and walked past Shi Shiran, who was thoughtful Yeluya: "If you think clearly, you will come to your cousin......"

Yelu Chu was proud, and after walking not far away, he saw his father standing in front of him, which startled him, and quickly stopped: "Father, you ...... Isn't it the feast, it's over? ”

Yelu Sanming hummed with a calm face and asked, "What do you say to Princess Ya?" ”

Yelu Chu grinned wildly and said what he had just said, Yelu Sanming frowned and said, "Why did you give her such an idea, and she didn't do her job all day long." ”

Yelu Chu hurriedly defended: "Father, why doesn't the son miss the right karma, isn't this for the sake of the father's great cause?" ”

Yelu Sanming's beard curled, and he said angrily: "This kind of thing has a fart relationship with Dad's great cause, you ...... Not...... I see......"

Yelu Sanming's eyes flickered, and he suddenly realized. Yelu Chu showed a vulture look in his crazy eyes: "Father, now King Qing is pulling the flag and rebelling outside, which is just for my use, and the opportunity is rare, but the mother is soft and hard, and now she vigorously promotes Luo Kedi, Tong Yu, and Wang Tieniu, and it is clear that she is not at ease with the palace guards, and wants to install her own people in." If we use means to control these three people, you say...... Will it be the straw that breaks the camel's back? ”

Yelu Sanming stroked his beard and groaned slightly, and said, "You're not too stupid. However, your move can only be used as idle chess, and you can't have too much hope that it can come in handy. Intrigue is just a trail and nothing to be feared. If you want to make the strong submit, you must have the power that can make her bow her head, and strong strength is the guarantee of victory. ”

The corners of his mouth twitched, and he sneered: "Today's banquet to entertain an envoy of the Song Kingdom, is it necessary to have the prime minister of the Northern Mansion and the privy envoy of the Southern Yuan to attend together?" She's just trying to put pressure on your dad with the support these two adults have given her. You go and do your job, if Princess Ya is not moved, you will not be able to cause trouble again. Tonight, Dad will go to see Xiao Zhanfei, the old fox, if he can win the full support of the Xiao family, then ...... What else does the mother have to fear? ”

At the ※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ banquet, the two heavyweights of the Northern Mansion Prime Minister Banfang and the Southern Court Privy Envoy Guo Xi advised them to drink diligently, and they had to discuss a few words about what they said in the national letter.

Mu Fang was persuaded diligently, but the words he said were as strong as wine: "Lord Yang, the emperor's letter of your country has also been read. At the beginning of the establishment of the Han State, it was a vassal to our Khitan, paying tribute every year, coming to the court every year, and claiming to be a Khitan vassal country. Now that your country intends to attack the Han Kingdom, if I stand by and watch from the Khitans, what will the central departments of the country think? What do you think of the Quadripartite Domain? If you change places and change your Lord Yang, will you agree to such an unreasonable request? ”

Yang Hao coughed, and said with a straight face: "My lord's words are wrong, if the Yi tribe of your country breaks away from the Khitan, declares itself a vassal to my Song State, pays tribute every year, and comes to the dynasty every year, then when the queen raises troops to fight, will our Song State also have to send troops to help?" ”

Guo Xi, the privy envoy of the Southern Court, said: "Where did Lord Yang start with this? The eight Khitan departments are one, and if the B Department really breaks away from me and goes to your country as a vassal, it will be a treasonous move, and it will be justified to raise troops to fight against you......"

Yang Hao arched his hand and said: "What Master Guo said is reasonable, my Song Kingdom and the Han Kingdom were originally one, but although they were divided into two, they were both Han people in the world......

When Xiao Xuan heard this, Yan Ran interjected: "The Liu clan of the Han Kingdom, the people of the Naisha Tuo clan, when did they become Han people, why don't I know?" ”

Yang Hao's face turned red, and he scolded in his heart: "You said that you Shatuo people are fashionable and have a Han surname, so that I often forget your original origin." ”

But his face was impassive, and he said unashamedly: "Today's Khitan is a fusion of the Xiongnu and Xianbei. Will the queen be so clear about the Khitan eight parts now? It is an indisputable fact that the Han Kingdom and the Song Kingdom were both Han lands, and they were originally one country. Now that my Emperor of the Song Kingdom wants to bridge the land, the reason of heaven and the will of the people, what is wrong?

Today's Han Kingdom is stormy, crumbling, and a piece of mud that can't be painted on the wall, why should the queen be an enemy of my Song Kingdom for such a Han Kingdom? The queen is the supreme of a country, and she is strategic, so she should be able to see the pros and cons clearly. Whether to aid the Han or not, it doesn't matter to the Khitan, if the Khitan wants to be proud of the countries, as long as the Khitan eight tribes unite as one, advance and retreat together, who dares to insult? Now that King Qing is outside, demagoguery is the biggest disaster for the imperial court. If the queen can agree to ignore the affairs of the Han Kingdom, then I will repay the favor and give the greatest support and help to your country in the matter of counterinsurgency. ”

Dong'er watched her husband talk in front of the queen on the side, her attitude was calm, and her eyes couldn't help but show admiration and joy, poor Xiao's bottom line had already been known to Yang Hao through Dong'er's mouth, seeing that Yang Hao didn't give an inch and refused to make more promises, how did the two ministers know that their hole cards had already been opened and looked at, and they thought that Zhao Kuangyin had taken into account the possibility of Khitan sending troops this time, and Mu Fang and Guo Xi sighed secretly, and gave each other a helpless glance: "It seems that from the mouth of the Song Dynasty, there is no more benefit." ”

Xiao Xuan saw that the two important ministers also returned with a feather, so he never mentioned this matter again, and the guest and host only talked about the customs of the two countries, talked and laughed, and then asked Luo Dong'er to send Yang Hao out of the inner city.

When he arrived at the edge of the inner city, Yang Hao turned around and saluted: "Luo Shangguan stays." ”

Luo Dong'er stopped and gave a shallow salute: "Lord Yang walks slowly." Then, lowering his voice, he whispered, "Tonight, you can go to me." ”

Yang Hao was overjoyed, and alertly swept away several female soldiers in red who were standing not far behind Dong'er, and whispered with joy on his eyebrows: "Lady, are you free tonight?" God is pitiful, I see my mother, and my husband is still an empty bed at night......"

Luo Dong'er's face was slightly dizzy, and she said lightly: "What are you talking about, Fourth Brother Luo, they will all go and discuss things together." ”

When Yang Hao heard this, he was stunned: "Oh ......" raised his voice and said: "Thank you for your hospitality, I am very grateful." Please ask Luo Shangguan to reply to Niangniang and thank you again. ”

Luo Dong'er saw that he was depressed, his expression was dazed, and his heart couldn't help but soften, and while pretending to say goodbye again, he whispered with hot cheeks: "But ...... Treat...... Wait for the fourth brother to leave......"

Yang Hao suddenly came to his senses again when he heard this, and hurriedly laughed loudly: "Be polite and polite, stay and stay," and then turned around and went with his head held high like a big cocktail with a flower crown.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ Luo Dong'er's residence, the idle people have already branched out, Yang Hao, Luo Kedi, Scimitar Xiaoliu, and Tie Niu were very excited when they met at first glance, and the brothers hugged each other and cried and screamed, gossiping, and each kept asking, Luo Dong'er looked at it with a smile on the side, and gently wiped away the tears on his cheeks from time to time.

After a long time, several people calmed down, sat down around a table, and discussed how to escape.

Luo Ke said: "These days, we don't want to escape back all the time, and we have also tried our best to get the map of the return to the south, from the current situation, if we forcibly escape, it is not easy, this road is full of dangers, there are heavy troops, we just need to leave Beijing, the news will be reported first, rambling that there are only a few of us, even if it is with us an army, it is not easy to rush through the pass." The Khitan has always had the largest number of troops stationed in the direction of the Song Kingdom, and King Qing fled westward because their center of gravity was not there, so they had to have room to breathe. ”

Yang Hao nodded and said: "Along the way, I have carefully observed, if a few of us can pass five levels and kill six generals, and kill back to the Song Kingdom, it is indeed a fantasy......

"Brother Hao, what is the Arabian Nights?"

"Don't interrupt, I'm ...... Oh, Dong'er, when I have the chance, I'll tell you separately and carefully. ”

Luo Kedi hugged each other with an ambiguous look, and the scimitar Xiaoliu smiled with a pockmarked face, and said narrowly: "Big brother, it's okay tonight." ”

When he said this, Dong'er immediately blushed, but glanced at Yang Hao happily and sweetly, and was silent. Yang Hao's face was also hot, and he coughed and said, "Talk about business, talk about business." Forcing it through the level will not work. Then there is only smuggling, and my plan is to use my status as an envoy of Song Guoqin to smuggle Dong'er away. At that time, I didn't know that you were in the Khitan, and if the Khitan court didn't know about my relationship with Dong'er, they suddenly lost someone, and they might not be suspicious of me. As an envoy, they have no right to inspect my chariot guard, and it is easy for me to take her away. But now it's a little difficult, if all four of you disappear at once, I'm afraid that the tigress of Empress Xiao will go crazy, even if it is Zhao Guan's house in this car, she will have to search it. ”

Dong'er sat silently on the side, flickering a pair of big eyes and listening to them quietly, then suddenly interjected: "Brother Hao, what if...... How about we explain it directly to the mother? Mother is very good to me, maybe...... She will be an adult beauty. ”

Luo Kedi sighed and said: "If, Dong'er, you are just a maid in the palace, and I, Xiaoliu and Tietou are all slaves in your house, then it is indeed possible for Empress Xiao to sell this good child and hand you and me over to Brother Yang." But who are you now? Rokunomiya Shangguan. Who are we? The palace guards are all in command and command.

When I was desperate to be this official, I originally wanted to hold on to more capital to escape, but now it has become a burden, and Empress Xiao will hand over a female official and three generals? Once this matter spreads, the person who the queen reuses is actually ......, can she tolerate it? If we refuse to pledge our allegiance to her, then her only option is to be ruthless and get rid of us all. ”

Dong'er was silent when she heard this, she knew that although Empress Xiao was like a sister to her, she ...... If her presence becomes an obstacle to her rule, she may not kill herself. She is like a gentle cat, her claws are hidden, and when she needs to, she will turn into a tiger, she and herself are two completely different people.

Tie Niu suddenly slapped the table and said viciously: "Don't do it, don't stop it, let's kidnap the queen, grandma's, kidnapping this messenger, let her do it, don't you allow us to do it?" We kidnapped her, took the queen hostage, and fled all the way back to the Song Kingdom, who would dare to stop her? ”

"I dare!" Luo Kedi glared at him: "Don't use your brain." Plundering the Khitan Queen, we fled back, and the Khitan army was desperate to catch up, a big war between the two countries was inevitable, even if she was put back, it could not be quelled. What's more, what is the situation of the Khitan now? Empress Xiao is on the throne, she is an emperor-like existence, once she falls into our hands, how many powerful people will look forward to her death, we will give Empress Xiao a funeral, and don't even think about leaving the capital. ”

When Tie Niu heard this, he sat back and didn't speak.

Xiao Liu said worriedly: "Soft can't be, hard can't be, can we stay here for the rest of our lives?" ”

He looked at the crowd and suddenly said, "Actually...... If the eldest brother also comes, it will not be bad to stay here for the rest of his life. But as a big brother, it is impossible to stay here. Fourth Brother Luo's parents are both in Song Kingdom, and they must rush back, but this way to leave is ......"

Yang Hao pondered for a long time and said slowly: "I think, only my original plan is still reliable, but I still need to make some changes." It's better to set off first, leaving four guards to lurk in Shangjing. The four of you then fled, hiding for the time being. In the northern land of Khitan, most of them are nomadic tribes, and they also come and go from merchants near Beijing, so it is not difficult to find a place to hide for the time being.

My four guards pretended to be you and left on another path, now the situation in Beijing is treacherous, you as her most important person suddenly disappeared, Xiao Hou may not have guessed that you have fled for a while, her first reaction must be that someone is going to attack her, and she will definitely respond, and when she frees her hand to find your whereabouts, it has been a while.

After that, when the news of my four guards swaggering south reaches her ears, she will send someone to follow her up. My cronies and guards are all proficient in Khitan, and after the task is completed, they can dress up as ordinary shepherds and escape to the people, and they will not be found again. In this way, her clues are also broken. ”

Luo Kedi intercepted: "This method will not work, she will not be suspicious of you, and she will not not search you." ”

Yang Hao smiled slightly: "Yes, it's just that what we've been thinking about is how to escape back to the south, how to escape back to the south together, why not change our thinking?" You did not flee south at all, and my four guards did not come to look for me after completing their mission, but returned, and agreed with you to meet in a place, and the eight of them went to the northwest together, and you went back from there, and no matter how she checked me, there would be no problem. As you march westward along the steppe, there are no passes, and the population is sparse, and the hope of escape will be greatly increased. Just ......"

He looked at Dong'er and said in a low voice: "It's just that I can't take you away in person after all, I really can't rest assured of you." ”

"Brother Hao, I'm fine." Dong'er's cheeks were crimson, and she clenched her fists and said: "In the past two years, Dong'er has practiced riding and archery diligently, and with a horse in hand, he will not be easily caught, Brother Hao doesn't have to worry about me." ”

Yang Hao said: "Well, the reason why I decided this way is that I think that the possibility of such success is really not good, such a shameful loss of his confidants, even if Empress Xiao is angry, he will not arrest people with fanfare, not to mention, when he is so isolated, the most relied on people around him have defected, Empress Xiao will definitely go crazy, and it is difficult to say whether the thoughts can be so clear and thorough." ”

Dong'er couldn't help but say again: "What do you mean by being crazy? ”

Luo Kedi took the case and said: "That's it, whether it can be done or not, it's just a matter of doing your best to obey the destiny of heaven." As for what it means to be crazy......"

He glanced at the two of them, and said with a smile: "After a while, let him tell you separately and carefully." ”

Saying this, Luo Dong'er's face turned red again, like a pomegranate blossom.

Sent away Luo Kedi, Scimitar Xiaoliu and Tie Niu, the two stood under the corridor, Luo Dong'er secretly glanced at him, bowed his head shyly, twisted the corners of his clothes shyly, and lost his generous appearance in front of people.

Yang Hao took her hand and sighed lightly: "It's really not easy, my own lady, I have to go through so many twists and turns to get close to you, I think it's like stealing people." ”

Dong'er slapped him lightly, and said coquettishly: "What is stealing, it's so ugly." ”

Yang Hao said with a smile: "Stealing incense and stealing jade, in fact, it tastes good." Do you feel it? ”

Dong'er's heart was like a drum, her face was red, and she replied shyly: "People's ...... People don't know, but if the officials say it's good, that's good. ”

"This is my good lady." Yang Hao smiled, suddenly bent over, and hugged her Heng'er, Dong'er sighed, and quickly wrapped his neck: "Brother Hao, what are you doing?" ”

"Carry my lady into the cave room." Yang Hao stepped into the door with a smile, gently closed the door with his feet, Dong'er lay in his arms, looked at him stupidly, suddenly exhaled, and snuggled his red face into his arms.

Bypassing the screen and looking at the bedroom, Yang Hao couldn't help but be stunned. On the table, a pair of red candles as thick as a child's arm are burned, the curtains on the embroidered bed are hanging low, a pot of fine wine is lying on the table, the fragrance of beasts is curling, and the room is warm. For tonight, Dong'er has obviously made careful preparations for a long time.

Yang Hao couldn't help but sigh lightly: "Lady, tonight is the most decent cave room for you and me." ”

"Fool!" The lovely man in his arms laughed, hugged his jade arms tighter, and said in a nickname: "People have already given you all your body, where can you still get a cave room?" ”

"If your wife wants to use what she stole from her, why wouldn't she be as happy as a cave house?"

Dong'er opened his eyes gently, his soft little hands gently stroked his cheeks, nose, and lips, and said apologetically: "Brother Hao, if the officials like to steal, then Dong'er will steal it for you, and steal it for you for the rest of your life......"

Yang Hao listened to the love words, his heart was rippling, but at this time, the curious baby remembered a question again, and asked again: "By the way, Brother Hao, what is crazy?" ”

Yang Hao replied with heavy breathing: "After a while, you will know what madness is......"
