"Boom~" With a thunderous sound of horses' hooves, Zhao Yan only saw a puff of smoke and dust rising from the north, and after a while, he saw a team of thousands of Khitan cavalry rushing out of the dust, for a young Khitan general, when he saw the Great Song Mission on Zhao Yan's side, he immediately stepped forward and said: "The front is the Song State Mission?" ”

"Haha, I didn't expect Brother Jun to come out to greet him in person, which really made Zhao feel honored!" Before the other people in the mission could speak, I saw Zhao Ji walk out first and smile at the young general, it seemed that he actually knew the other party.

When the young Khitan general saw Zhao Ji, his eyes also lit up, and he immediately threw off his saddle and immediately stepped forward and saluted: "I have long heard that this mission is led by Brother Zhao Ji himself, so I asked my father for this welcome errand, just to be able to get together with Brother Zhong Cheng as soon as possible. ”

Zhao Yan also jumped off the horse at this time, and stepped forward very enthusiastically to greet this young Khitan general, looking at their affectionate appearance, as if they were close friends who had been separated for many days, and even Zhao Yan had some malicious guesses, since his eldest brother has not yet married, should there be any problems in sexual orientation, right?

"The king of the county, this young Khitan named Yelu Jun, is the eldest son of the Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji, who was just made the crown prince last year, and also sent an envoy to the Great Song Dynasty to participate in the enthronement ceremony of His Majesty, it is said that he and His Royal Highness King Yingwang hit it off at first sight, and the personal relationship between the two is quite good." At this time, Su Shi quietly introduced in Zhao Yan's ear.

Hearing that the young man opposite who was about the same age as himself turned out to be the prince of Liao, Zhao Yan couldn't help but look at the other party in surprise. I saw that this Yelu Jun was of medium stature and handsome facial features, if he changed into a Song costume, he could definitely be regarded as a beautiful young man, which was relatively rare among the Khitans.

After Zhao Ji and Yelujun exchanged a few words, he suddenly remembered Zhao Yan behind him, and immediately pulled Yelujun to Zhao Yan and introduced: "Brother Yelu, please see, this is Zhao Yan, the younger brother, who was invited by Lingzun to come to Liaoguo, the two of you are of the same age, you must be more close in the future!" ”

"Zhao Yan greets His Royal Highness the Prince!" Although everyone is a prince. It's about the same age. But Yelujun is the crown prince, and his status is higher than Zhao Yan, so he can only salute the other party first.

"Haha, Brother Yan, you don't have to be too polite. At that time, Emperor Shengzong and Emperor Zhenzong made an alliance. And to be called brothers. Our descendants in future generations are naturally brothers, and I am a few months older than you, so Brother Yan, you can just call me Brother Yelu! Yelujun helped Zhao Yan up very affectionately. After the Tanyuan Alliance that year, Liao Shengzong and Song Zhenzong became brothers, so when the Zhao royal family and the Yelu royal family met, they were also based on age and generation.

"Haha, since Brother Yelu said so, then the little brother might as well be respectful!" Zhao Yan also said very freely, although he didn't have a good impression of Liao, but now he is a person with a true temperament, and his enthusiasm for himself and Zhao Ji is also from the heart, which makes people really not feel bad in their hearts.

Seeing Zhao Yan so free and easy, Ye Lujun was also very happy, especially he had seen Zhao Yan's paintings before, and he was also very good at that kind of peculiar painting skills, and immediately raised a lot of questions about the painting road, which Zhao Yan also answered one by one, without the slightest meaning of self-cherishment, which made Ye Lujun's good impression of Zhao Yan greatly increased, and even said that he had met a good brother this time.

However, just when Zhao Yan and Yelujun were talking happily, they suddenly heard someone behind Yelujun speak: "Don't patronize yourself and chat, why don't you introduce us to you?" ”

Hearing such an impudent voice, Zhao Yan and Zhao Yan were both stunned, and followed the voice to look behind Ye Lujun, but it turned out that it was a young man with an arrogant expression, who looked to be in his twenties, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, but this kind of smile appeared on his face, but it always made people feel very uncomfortable, as if they were laughing at others all the time.

When the young Yelujun heard the voice behind him, his originally happy face suddenly stiffened, but he quickly recovered, turned around and showed a gentle smile and said to the arrogant young man: "The little nephew reunited with his old friend just now, but it was a bit rude, King Chu doesn't need to be surprised!" ”

Yelu Jun said, introduced Zhao Ji and Zhao Yan to this arrogant young man, and then pointed to the other party and introduced Zhao Yan and them: "This is my cousin Yelu Nelugu, titled King of Chu, who accompanied me to meet the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty this time. ”

"It turned out to be His Royal Highness the King of Chu, this king had heard of the prestige of the imperial uncle when he was in the Great Song Dynasty, but unfortunately he had never had the opportunity to visit, but I didn't expect to be able to meet His Royal Highness the King of Chu now, it is really an honor!" When Zhao Ji heard the other party's name, he immediately smiled and said.

Zhao Yan was also refreshed when he heard the name Yelu Nerugu, and looked at the other party seriously at the moment, this guy's father is Yelu Chongyuan, and the biggest reason why Yelu Chongyuan rebelled in history was that he was favored by Yelu Nerugu, but he didn't expect that he had just arrived in Liao and met this key person.

However, what Zhao Ji and Zhao Yan didn't expect was that Yelu Nelugu looked Zhao Ji up and down a few times at this time, and then showed a mocking smile and said: "It turns out that the prince of the Great Song Dynasty looks like this, and he doesn't have any three heads and six arms, so this king still thinks there is something outstanding?" ”

"You ......" For this Yelu Nerugu's rudeness, Zhao Ji and Yelu Jun were both angry, and they just wanted to open their mouths to refute, but at this time, Zhao Yan said with a smile, "Our princes of the Great Song Dynasty naturally have one nose and two eyes, but presumably the sons of His Royal Highness the King of Chu are all three-headed and six-armed, and all of them are as long as King Kong in the temple, right?" ”

"Haha, of course the son of this king is extraordinary...... Yelu Nerugu immediately laughed when he heard Zhao Yan's words, but soon stopped again, because he felt that something was wrong, and the words Zhao Yan said didn't seem to be praising him, but he couldn't find anything wrong for a while?

In contrast, Zhao Ji and Yelu Jun both laughed together, and the meaning of Zhao Yan's words was naturally not to praise Yelu Nerugu, but to scold his sons for being monsters, but Zhao Ji quickly deliberately reprimanded Zhao Yan with a straight face: "Third brother, don't mess around, His Royal Highness the King of Chu is heroic and extraordinary, and his heirs are naturally a generation of heroes, so don't retire quickly!" ”

Yelu Nerugu finally understood at this time, and he just wanted to be angry, but at this time, Yelu Jun interrupted forcefully: "It's not early now, and there is still a long distance from the next resting place, let's hurry up and get on the road!" ”

Although Yelu Nerugu was arrogant, Yelu Jun was the crown prince of Da Liao after all, and the identities of Zhao Ji and Zhao Yan were not something he could slander lightly, so although he was annoyed, he didn't dare to say anything more, so he had to snort heavily, and then returned to the team of Liao.

Next, the Liao team was outside, and the Great Song mission, including the Great Song mission, began to advance to the north again, and Yelujun liked to stay with Zhao Ji and Zhao Yan, so in the end, the three of them got into the carriage together and chatted. As a result, Yelu Nerugu outside saw this, and whispered to himself in Zhao Yan's carriage: "The prince who doesn't even want to ride a horse, what qualifications does he have to rule my Da Liao in the future?" ”

Zhao Yan in the carriage chatted with Yelu Jun for a few words, and then deliberately showed a worried expression and said: "Brother Yelu, His Royal Highness the King of Chu just now doesn't seem to be friendly to our Great Song Dynasty's mission, and I heard that his father has a lot of power, we came to Liao this time, shouldn't we encounter the difficulties of their father and son, right?" ”

Hearing Zhao Yan mention Yelu Chongyuan and Yelu Nerugu father and son, he couldn't help but snort coldly at the moment: "Brother Yan don't have to worry, the current emperor of Daliao is my father, not their Yelu Chongyuan father and son, it's just that his father was deceived by their father and son, so he handed over part of the government to them to deal with, but now there are still loyal ministers such as Zhang Xiaojie and Yelu Yixin in the court, so their father and son can't afford to make any big waves!" ”

"I hope so!" Zhao Yan was still a little uneasy when he heard this, but he was secretly happy in his heart, judging from Yelu Jun's attitude, he was also very dissatisfied with Yelu Chongyuan's father and son, one side was the prince of Liao, and the other was the powerful minister of Liao, these two forces were in a hostile position, which was a big unexpected gain.

Yelujun didn't seem to be very willing to mention Yelu Chongyuan's father and son, and soon turned the topic to the painting road, Zhao Yan had to smile and explain his painting skills to him, speaking of which Yelujun is a Khitan, but may be influenced by his father and mother, he has been very interested in poetry, calligraphy and painting since he was a child, and he is also quite talented in this area, and Zhao Yan talked about painting and turned out to be Taoist, which reminded Zhao Yan of the scene when he was pestered by Li Gonglin to ask for advice. Yelujun is not only erudite but also sincere, and can be regarded as a very good friend.

After a day's journey, when it was getting late, Yelujun took Zhao Yan and them to a camp tent that had been set up a long time ago, which should be regarded as a palace, and it was also specially prepared to welcome Zhao Yan and them. When Zhao Yan and the others arrived, the Khitan girl who stayed here had already prepared hot water, and Zhao Yan and they were not polite, they took a hot bath under the service of the Khitan girl, and finally washed away the fatigue of the day, and Yelujun also prepared a banquet for the reception, just waiting for them to go to the banquet.

However, just when Zhao Yan had just finished taking a shower and was about to change into new clothes to go to the banquet, Zhao Yan suddenly came to his camp tent, let everyone out, and ordered a few henchmen to guard outside the door, so he asked with a stern face: "Third brother, what do you think of Yelujun?" (To be continued......)

ps: I'm sorry, I forgot to set up the automatic cloth today, so I was an hour late
