Back at the inn, it was already dark.

Lin Bihan was sitting in Ye Pei's room in a daze, and when she saw Ye Pei returning, she snorted angrily and said: "Princess, you actually deceived the slave maid, you really shouldn't marry into the Liao Kingdom, if you really have three longs and two shorts, the slave and maid can't live alone...... Lin Bihan said, crying aggrievedly.

Ye Pei saw each other and persuaded: "Oh, sister, didn't I come back intact?" Sister, don't be angry, let's go back to Nanjing City today. ”

"I don't believe you, you go out, take your life, even if you pay off your debt to King Xiao!" Lin Bihan pushed away Ye Pei's kind hand and whimpered.

"Oops." Who knew that Lin Bihan actually pushed Ye Pei to his head, and Ye Pei sat on the ground and showed an innocent look.

Lin Bihan thought that she was deliberately selling cute treasures, so she turned her head and ignored it: "Don't pretend to be innocent, I really can't control you!" ”

Ye Pei sat on the ground for a while before saying, "Bihan, I really can't get up, it may be that I have been frozen for a long time in the Langya Palace, and my hands and feet are numb, good sister, you can pull me quickly." ”

Lin Bihan was also startled when she saw that Ye Pei didn't look like she was joking, and hurriedly reached out to hug Ye Pei, "How long has the princess been here?" Why did you become numb like this? ”

She helped Ye Pei sit on the bed, brought the charcoal brazier over to roast Ye Pei's hands, rubbed her hands for her, and asked, "Is this better?" The princess doesn't know how to move? If it's too long, I'm afraid I'll get frostbite. ”

Lin Bihan rubbed his hands for Ye Pei, Ye Pei really felt a lot better, but the muscles on his face twitched uncontrollably a few times, and Ye Pei put his whole body close to the charcoal brazier.

"Well, that's a lot better." Ye Pei recalled: "In Daizhou City that year, I had a lot of chilblains, or after returning to the palace, sister, you soaked my hands and applied medicine for me little by little according to the prescription of the imperial doctor, and I was cured!" ”

talked about the old things that the two of them had with each other a few years ago, which made the two young girls cry.

"Princess, my good princess......"

"Sister, my good sister......"

The two of them hugged their heads and cried for a while.

Zhou Xun walked into the house, and was stunned when he saw Ye Pei and Lin Bihan's state, and asked, "Princess, what's wrong?" ”

Lin Bihan said angrily: "The princess went to Langya Wangfu again, and she almost lost her life, you see that she is now almost out of strength to stand on her own." ”

Ye Pei said: "Okay, let's not talk about Bihan." ”

The two of them shed their grief, and Ye Pei asked Zhou Xundao, "What's the matter?" ”

Zhou Xun said: "Princess, Huang Jianfeige, the commander of the guards outside the city, has sent a letter. ”

It turned out that when Ye Pei returned to Beijing from the Song Liao front, he promoted Huang Jian to his side as the commander of the escort army, and together with the 5,000 people who broke out of Daizhou City, they all married into the Liao State Xijin Mansion.

Now that Ye Pei has come to Zhongjing City to meet the Queen Mother, and selected five hundred warriors to follow, he naturally needs a trustworthy person to lead. Therefore, Ye Pei has always asked Huang Jian to follow the command and stationed outside the Dading Mansion.

Ye Pei unfolded the note handed over by Zhou Xun and took a look, his brows furrowed even tighter.

Zhou Xun leaned in and asked, "Princess, but what happened?" ”

Ye Pei nodded: "The army of the king of the north has reached the north bank of the Laoha River. ”

Lin Bihan became nervous, "Princess, will the rebels besiege Zhongjing Dading Mansion?" ”

Zhou Xun said: "Princess, while Dading Mansion has not been closed, let's leave quickly." "Indeed! The king of the north still has some means. Last night I was in the Langya Palace, Yelu Yenu caught a spy of the king of the north, it is estimated that the king of the north is planning to besiege the Dading Mansion in Zhongjing, and will soon join forces to attack the capital. ”

Lin Bihan hurriedly said: "Then let's go quickly." ”

Ye Pei asked Zhou Xun, "Have you packed up everything?" ”

Zhou Xun nodded, "It's all packed, and you can leave at any time." ”

"Okay, let's go now."

------

As soon as Princess Nanping's car left the post house, someone immediately told King Langya. When they reached the south gate, Uguru, the general of the Guards Division who was in charge of guarding the capital, appeared in front of the car of the princess of Nanping.

Ye Pei came to Dading Mansion to face Saint Shane'en, and the guards he brought were all staying outside the city, and there were only dozens of attendants around him. At this time, there were more than 100 officers and soldiers patrolling the city in Uguru.

Sitting on his horse with no one in his eyes, Uguru asked, "Who is in the car?" ”

Zhou Xun replied forward: "General of the Guard Division, this is the car of the princess of Nanping. The princess was ordered to be married, and after the marriage, Kyoto thanked the Lord and the Queen Mother. Now that the ceremony is over, it is natural to return to Nanjing Xijin Mansion. ”

Wuguru is just a petty official who patrols the city of Liupin, and he should have dismounted to make way for Princess Nanping. But he has King Langya as his backer, and his eyes are empty.

Instead of dismounting, Uguru said extremely arrogantly: "King Langya has an order that everyone entering and leaving the city must be carefully examined and must not be disobeyed!" Now that the situation is special, please take care of the princess! As he spoke, with a wave of his hand, he surrounded Ye Pei's car.

Zhou Xun argued: "This is the princess of the king of Nanping, who dares to be rude?" ”

Uguru said: "The rebels outside the city have arrived at the Laoha River, if there are rebels, you and I can't afford it!" ”

"Princess Nanping is a princess married to Song Yuan, with a noble status, how can she have anything to do with the rebels!"

Wuguru sneered: "The Song people are cunning, you must not be guarded, come here, search for me!" ”

Zhou Xun said: "What if you don't find the person the general said?" ”

"If you don't have it, it's better."

"Will the general let him go?"

"That's nature."

Zhou Xun got out of the way and said, "Then please take care of the general." There were thirty-four of our retinues except for the princess, of whom eighteen were maidservants and sixteen were attendants. ”

Uguru didn't expect Zhou Xun to be so calm, and strode to the Luanfeng car, and wanted to lift the curtain.

Zhou Xun followed up and said, "I, the princess of the Song Kingdom, Yurong, how can you watch it at will?" ”

Uguru deceived Zhou Xun for not knowing martial arts, and flashed to the left like a mouse, bypassing Zhou Xun, and lifted the curtain of the car.

But how can there be the shadow of the princess of the Song Kingdom and the princess of Nanping in the carriage, but this is an empty car!

"You!" Uguru pointed his finger around and said angrily.

Zhou Xun smiled slightly, "I warned the general a long time ago that my princess will naturally not hide rebels and the like. ”

Before Uguru could say something, a lieutenant ran behind him and whispered a few words in his ear. Uguru's face turned pale, gave way to a road, and said to Zhou Xun: "Please drive the princess's car out of the city." ”

Seeing this, Zhou Xun ordered his attendants to set off, and he took the lead out of Changyi Gate.

Anyway, why is Ye Pei not in the car? Why did Uguru insist on checking the car of Princess Nanping leaving Beijing? All this was naturally the idea of Yelu Yeunu, the king of Langya.

Uguru naturally knew that Ye Pei's car would not be mixed with rebels, but why did he forcibly search it?

In the post house, Zhou Xun had already replaced all the servants with his henchmen, and King Langya sent people to the post house several times to inquire about Ye Pei's news, but he did not succeed.

Yelu Yenu attracted Ye Pei to Shangjing to poison him, but he didn't really see the corpse, and his heart was really uneasy. As soon as he heard that Ye Pei was leaving Dading Mansion this time, he naturally couldn't miss the last opportunity to find out, so he immediately sent Uguru to intercept him at the city gate.

And what about Ye Pei? At this time, he and Lin Bihan dressed up as two ordinary women, and left Zhongjing City from the Tongtian Gate in the north.

Ye Pei had already thought that King Langya Yelu Nu would not let go of herself easily, so she asked Zhou Xun to lead the honor guard to attract the attention of King Langya, while she and Lin Bihan secretly escaped.

And they had already informed Huang Jian to lead the guards of the Song Kingdom to meet outside the city, and if there was really a conflict with the defenders patrolling the city, Huang Jian would immediately lead his troops into the city. At this time, the Liao State did not dare to openly break with the Great Song Dynasty, and Ye Pei was also sure that King Langya would not dare to really meet her with swords.

Of course, King Langya didn't really put Ye Pei in his eyes, the enemy in his eyes was the rebels of the king of the north, and what he wanted was the army in the hands of Xiao Xiaoxian, the king of Chu, and the imperial power in the hands of the queen mother Xiao Yunjin.

Yelu Yenu just wanted to make sure if Ye Pei was really dead, he couldn't let her go back to the mountain, if Ye Pei was really dead, he could temporarily ignore the military strength of Nanjing City and deal with the rebels in front of him first.

But Wuguru didn't see Ye Pei today, but he was disturbed by the rebel internal response that suddenly appeared at Yingchun Gate. It doesn't matter if he loses a Ye Pei, if the gate of the capital is lost, then his sin will only be "come to see him".

"Immediately block the four cities, I'm going to tell King Langya now!" Uguru roared angrily, ignoring Zhou Xun and the others, and ran towards the city on a flying dust.

------

Speaking of Ye Pei, she and Lin Bihan walked out of the Tongtian Gate, and they met a temple head-on. When I looked closely, it was the big Liao Pagoda that I saw from afar when I entered Beijing.

The Liao State was a nomadic people who originally believed in shamanism.

In order to suppress the situation of other tribes taking advantage of the shamanic power to divide their own territories, Yeluxian of Liaojingzong vigorously promoted Buddhism and built Buddhist temples in many places in Liao. Even several of his own children are named after the Buddha, such as Manjushri (Yelu Longxu), Puxian Nu (Yelu Longqing) and so on.

There are pagodas built in the five Kyotos of Liaoguo, and the Dading Mansion in Zhongjing is also built by moving the capital during the Jingzong period, and the Dingdu built this big Liao pagoda at the same time, and it is also the highest and magnificent pagoda in the five capitals of Liao.

This big Liao pagoda is an octagonal thirteen-storey brick dense eaves type pagoda, built on the Sumeru seat with a height of two zhang, and the total height reaches more than 30 zhang.

The stupa is not a separate building, but a monastery with three courtyards in front and back. The Buddhist temple is much inferior to the pagoda, so the people of Zhongjing only call the Great Liao Pagoda, and no one calls it the Great Liao Pagoda Temple.

At this time, the weather was cold, and there were rebels harassing outside the Laoha River, and there were almost no pilgrims who came to Mobai, so the whole temple seemed a little depressed.

Ye Pei said: "Since you have the fate to come to the Da Liao Pagoda Temple, let's go in and burn the pillar incense." ”

At this time, Ye Pei stood in front of the pagoda, and felt that the pagoda was towering into the sky and could not be forced to look.

Kneeling in front of the Buddhist shrine, Ye Pei seemed to be a believer in Chengyu. Every time he knelt down, Ye Pei felt peace and tranquility in his heart. Everything is vain, you can do nothing, if you can always accompany the ancient Buddha of the green lantern like this, how good it would be.
