Chapter Ninety-Seven: Harmony and Happiness, Brotherhood for More Than Ten Years (1)
Where is this?
Yelu Chongyuan opened his eyes and found himself lying in a strange place. He looked at the felt tent where he was lying.
This is a felt tent commonly used by Khitan herdsmen, with white curtains and high spires, which is very simple and simple.
There is no goddess and no fairy palace, is it all an illusion that I just appeared?
Yelu Chongyuan moved his body, and he could still move, and there was no special pain. He touched it with his hand, and he felt warm with a leather quilt on his body and an animal skin mattress under him.
Seeing that Yelu Chongyuan opened his eyes, a middle-aged man got up and walked to his side.
"Are you awake?"
Yelu Chongyuan sat up, rubbed his head, and asked, "Where is this?" ”
"In the mountains and forests of the Seven Golden Mountains."
"You saved me?" Yelu Chongyuan's tone was a little disappointed.
The middle-aged man smiled and nodded.
"He's awake?" A young woman, dressed in the costume of a traditional Khitan woman, leaned over and asked.
Yelu Chongyuan's eyes lit up, and he was so excited that he blurted out: "Goddess! You saved me! ”
Ye Pei smiled and nodded, and Zhou Xun looked helpless.
Yelu Chongyuan realized his gaffe, blinked his eyes and asked, "Who are you?" ”
The man said: "Her name is Ye Pei, my name is Zhou Xun, and she is from the 'Zhou family's juggling class'." We came from Nanjing Xijin Mansion and wanted to go to Zhongjing City to perform. Who knew that you were chased and attacked by wolves on the mountain road, so they shot and killed several wolves and saved you. ”
Zhou Xun looked up at Ye Pei, and asked Yelu Chongyuan again, "What's your name?" How could a young man be alone in the mountains? ”
"I am ......"
As she spoke, another woman entered the felt tent with a brass basin, followed by another man in his early thirties, dressed as a hunter, and carrying a dead deer on his back.
Yelu Chongyuan faced the benefactor and wanted to tell the truth, but when he saw that the people in the felt tent were talkative, he was afraid that he would be caught and brought back to blackmail the queen mother or the lord, so he turned his heart and said:
"I am a servant of the King of Qin's mansion, and I followed my king out on a safari, and my king shot a doe, and a horned stag rushed out to hurt him. I blocked it for my master, and my horse was frightened and ran away into the mountains and got lost. Later, when you unfortunately encounter wolves, you will know what happened next. ”
Yelu Chongyuan had never told a lie, and now he was alone for fear of being harmed, so he blushed and lowered his head.
Zhou Xun looked at the simple young man in front of him and smiled happily, if it was someone else, how could it be so easy to deceive?
Yelu Chongyuan didn't recognize the identities of Ye Pei and the others, and Zhou Xun felt funny. That is, he is a simple teenager, not to mention himself, how can a person as noble as Ye Pei be a woman in a juggling class?
Yelu Chongyuan felt guilty in his heart, and he couldn't imagine that the benefactor who saved him would come to deceive him, and he couldn't imagine that he would have to screen the authenticity of others, so he didn't ask more.
Ye Pei married to the Liao State, using the name of Zhao Ling, the eldest princess of the Song Kingdom, not to mention Yelu Chongyuan, the carefree king who is far away from the government, even Yelu Zongzhen, Xiao Yunjin and others don't know.
Zhou Xun asked, "What's your name?" ”
Yelu Chongyuan said casually: "My name is Mu Duhan. ”
Zhou Xun said: "Okay, Mu Duhan, tomorrow we will send you back to Zhongjing Dading Mansion." ”
"Great!" Yelu Chongyuan showed a look of joy.
By this time it was already late at night. Zhou Xun asked Lin Bihan to bring food and water to Yelu Chongyuan, and watched him devour a meal before ordering Huang Jian and the others to sleep with him.
Early the next morning, Yelu Chongyuan entered the city with Zhou Xun, Ye Pei and others.
There were two dozen members in the group, including two women. They put away their felt tents and packed up three tents and two carts. Yelu Chongyuan looked at these jugglers, and felt that they were simple and kind, and completely lost their guard.
When they arrived at the gate of Zhongjing Dading Mansion, Zhou Xun and others were strictly censored.
"None of the people from Waifu who have cleared the customs can enter!" Guarding the door was Hai Fangdong, the first-class captain of the guard camp.
"Stand still! It's not from Dadingfu, is it? A gatekeeper shouted at Zhou Xun's convoy.
Zhou Xun jumped out of the car, ran to the soldier with a smile and said, "Official, we are a juggling team from Nanjing Xijin Mansion, please let us go into the city to beg for food." ”
At that time, juggling was no different from asking for food, and setting up a stall in the market was often hungry and full, and the social status was also the lowest.
When the soldier saw Zhou Xun like that, he became even more angry, raised his hand and whipped Zhou Xun's body, and scolded: "Where did you come from something that doesn't have long eyes, when is this, and you still have to come to Dading Mansion to make trouble?" Who has the leisure to watch juggling now? Hurry up and beg for a living elsewhere! ”
Seeing Zhou Xun being beaten, the warm-hearted Yelu Chongyuan jumped out of the carriage, walked in front of Hai Fangdong and shouted: "Hai Fangdong! ”
Hai Fangdong was stunned, who dared to call him by his name in broad daylight? It's crooked!
Even the officers and soldiers who inspected were stunned, how could their boss be angry with a juggling boy? As soon as the whip in his hand was raised, he raised his hand to Yelu Chongyuan and it was a whip.
"Damn, where did the kid come from has no rules like this!"
Hai Fangdong looked up and was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized who the person in front of him was. He was quick-eyed, rushed to Yelu Chongyuan, took the whip for him, and slapped the officer and soldier when he returned his hand, "You bastard Wang Baqiu!" Who are you going to hit! ”
The officer and soldier were completely dizzy by the slap, covered their faces, and did not ask the reason for a long time.
Haifang Donghan walked in front of Yelu Chongyuan, and just wanted to call him "King", but was blocked by Yelu Chongyuan, signaling him not to make a sound.
It turned out that the officers and soldiers guarding the gate didn't know Yelu Chongyuan, so could the captain of the guard camp not know him?
Yelu Chongyuan instructed: "I found this juggling team to perform, don't check it." Don't reveal my identity! ”
"Understood, understood!"
Hai Fangdong immediately ordered the officers and soldiers to let him go.
Seeing a young man dressed as a Khitan herdsman calling his boss back and forth, the beaten officers and soldiers were completely stunned and quickly let them go.
Sent Yelu Chongyuan back to King Qin's mansion, Yelu Chongyuan entered through the back door and did not come out again. There was a man who looked like a butler and ran out with five gold ingots and ten taels of gold to thank him. Zhou Xun didn't refuse, and accepted it directly.
If it's really a juggling team, how can you not see the dignity of Yelu Chongyuan's identity? Zhou Xun took the gold, smiled and drove the carriage away.
Of course, if Ye Pei and Zhou Xun want to enter the city, no matter how strict the investigation is, it is still possible to make a few fake customs clearance documents. However, it was not easy for more than 20 people, with weapons, to enter the city blatantly. With Yelu Chongyuan's help this time, I had a chance to get close to him and evaded the search, so why not?
When Yelu Chongyuan returned to the palace of the King of Qin, he learned that the guards and soldiers who went on the safari with him and the people who stayed in the camp had suffered misfortune.
When they saw Yelu Chongyuan's sweaty and bloody BMW frightened and ran away, they all rode their horses to chase after them. Who knew that as soon as he crossed a mountain beam, he was blocked by the rebel Aru guerrillas.
Although the troops of the king of the north did not have the strength to face the Da Liao Zhengpai army at this time, it was more than enough to eliminate twenty or thirty guards. In the end, none of those who guarded the soldiers and the people who stayed in the camp returned to Zhongjing City alive.
Thanks to Yelu Chongyuan's speed, he didn't know what was happening behind him, and he really wanted to thank Changshengtian for his favor.
Coincidentally, Ye Pei, Zhou Xun and others were about to pretend to be people from the juggling class and go back to Zhongjing, when they happened to meet Yelu Chongyuan walking alone through the pine forest. They have always wanted to get close to Yelu Chongyuan, this time it was really effortless, and they didn't follow him for more than an hour, Ye Pei and they waited for the opportunity to give Yelu Chongyuan a life-saving grace.
Mu Duhan and Hu Er Dahe heard that Yelu Chongyuan had returned, and ran to find Yelu Chongyuan in tears.
"King, I thought you were dead!" Mu Duhan hugged Yelu Chongyuan, snot and tears.
Yelu Chongyuan shook him off in disgust, "You're dead!" ”
"What's going on, my lord? We waited for you until dark, and then sent people to search near the Tuhe River, but we didn't see you or the people in the camp, so we were so scared that we didn't dare to go back. He said with a frown.
Mu Duhan grabbed the topic and said: "Yes, we didn't dare to enter the city, and we set up a tent outside the Tuhe Palace and slept for the night. There was no news of you until the morning, and even the people you took away seemed to have evaporated from the world. There is no way, we went home to ask Daddy for help, and sent someone from the Guard Division to look for you, and we are here, we are here......"
Mu Duhan choked up a little as he spoke, and then said, "I just found the body of your guard's personal soldier in the Pine Forest Mountain, the seventh peak of the Seven Gold Mountain. We all thought you, alas, we knew that the matter was too big, and we had already reported it to the Queen Mother. ”
Yelu Chongyuan also knew that the paper couldn't contain the fire in this matter, but he didn't expect that all his followers would be killed.
"I thought that these fools didn't find me, it turned out that they were all ...... by the rebels" Alas, the dead are the greatest, and Yelu Chongyuan didn't dare to curse them in his heart anymore.
But after thinking about it, I was saved by Immortal Heaven, and I was a little proud. He is really a blessed person, or he will send a goddess to help him.
Mu Duhan saw that Yelu Chongyuan's face was cloudy for a while and sunny for a while, so he asked, "King, how did you escape the pursuit of the rebels?" ”
Yelu Chongyuan said proudly: "I am naturally favored by the Immortal Heaven, and when the rebels chased me, the Immortal Heaven sent the goddess to rescue me and take me to the Heavenly Immortal Palace as a guest. ”
Mu Duhan was fascinated when he heard it, but he looked disdainful.
When the three of them were talking and laughing, the housekeeper and Dijin informed Yelu Chongyuan and said, "The king, someone has come to the palace, and he said to let the king enter the palace quickly." ”
When Yelu Chongyuan heard this, his head drooped down and he immediately lost his spirit.
"Well, can you pretend to be sick?"
Suddenly, he smiled and said, "If you pretend to be sick, the Queen Mother will come directly to the palace." ”
Yelu Chongyuan sighed and entered the palace.
