When Ji Ayue came to report to the captain of the guard, the captain was stunned, "What did you say?" Aru didn't just run away? Mrs. Wei Guo is still unconscious? Could it be that Aru didn't just poison Mrs. Wei Guo and escaped? Didn't you say that they were brothers and sisters since childhood, and they had a good relationship? ”

Ji Ayue faced the captain's questioning, and was so anxious that she didn't know how to explain, "It's not that Aru not only poisoned my princess, but it was the relapse of my princess's old poison, and Alu not only disappeared suddenly." ”

"What's the connection?" The lieutenant scratched his head and couldn't think of it, "Let's report it quickly!" ”

By the time the news had not been answered, Lou Zijin had already returned from the Uighur tribe.

No one knows how he spent these ten days, and the three horses he was going to ride were too tired to stand.

Fortunately, from Huaizhou to Yizhou, there are vast grasslands and endless deserts, so there are no official posts to check Lou Zijin's identity, so he can easily find the leader of the Uighur tribe.

When the tribal leader saw Lou Zijin, he thought he was here to seek revenge, so he was so frightened that he asked the guards to fight him.

Although Lou Zijin can't walk flexibly on his legs, his arms are free to move. He was on a horse, and no one knew about his leg injury.

When Lou Zijin won all the guards, but asked the leader for the "Tianshan Snow Lotus", the tribal leader hurriedly offered the Snow Lotus if he was amnestied. Lou Zijin asked for three fast horses, some dry food, and a kettle, and then ran back to Huailing at a gallop.

Lou Zijin was even eating and drinking on horseback, he didn't stop in the middle of the night, and he took a nap on horseback, which made him completely out of shape in the past ten days.

Lou Zijin almost fell off his horse, he held a wooden box containing "Tianshan Snow Lotus" in his hand, and instructed Ji Ayue: "Go back, feed this medicine decoction water to Ye Pei!" ”

Lou Zijin's hands were covered with mud, and his red and swollen palms were stretched out by the reins with two deep marks. But the snow lotus he took out was as white as snow and as dazzling as a star.

Ji Ayue held this holy medicine with trembling hands, feeling that Ye Pei was finally saved.

Ye Pei has a good physical foundation, and he has the internal strength and mental method that is connected to the guidance of the monk, and the poisonous hair has only dragged on for so long. Rao is like this, this time it is also a traumatic injury.

A pair of medicine entrances, Ye Pei did not react, Ji Ayue cried, and Lou Zijin also blurred his eyes.

Has all his toil been in vain?

Could it be that God really wants to punish him like this?

"Eternal heaven, let me bear all my sins alone! Please don't punish anyone around me! ”

Lou Zijin began to think about his life, what he had done before, and his future life.

"If I let my sister wake up, I am willing to listen to her re-acting, I am willing to give up all grievances and hatreds, I am willing!"

Lou Zijin stayed by Ye Pei's side for two more days.

I don't know if it was his pious prayers that worked, or if it was the miraculous medicinal effect of the Tianshan Snow Lotus. Ye Pei actually opened his eyes in the early morning of the third day.

Lou Zijin blurred his eyes with excitement, and his hand holding Ye Pei trembled slightly, "Senior sister, Pei'er ......"

After that, the two of them didn't know who was healing whom, Lou Zijin had to help the weak Ye Pei while holding on to crutches, and Ye Pei, who was so weak that he was trembling, insisted on acupuncture for Lou Zijin.

The two of them drank the medicine as wine, toasted and bumped the bowl together, and Lou Zijin roasted taro for Ye Pei like when he was a child. They counted the stars and laughed together.

Lou Zijin opened his heart and talked about his mother Xiao Huyin.

She is the first beauty of Daliao, the eldest daughter of the patriarch of the Hou clan, everyone thinks that she must be the future queen candidate, even she herself is sure of it, what kind of pride and confidence she is!

She did not hesitate to marry her uncle, who was more than a decade older than herself, because he was the closest person to the throne.

Liao Jingzong had no heirs, only his younger brother Taiping Wang was his closest and most trusted person, and all the courtiers thought that the emperor of the next generation of Great Liao must belong to Taiping Wang Gong Sage, so Hu Yin married him.

But she was buried by a political conspiracy that Hu Ran did not expect, a plot devised by her father with her favorite and most naïve and mischievous little sister, Xiao Yanyan.

They elected Ming Yan to the throne and became the Great Liao Emperor, Xiao Yanyan became the empress, and the Taiping King was exiled to the North as a traitor.

What kind of disobedience and hatred Xiao Huran felt in his heart!

After the death of the Taiping King, she returned to Shangjing, where she had been absent for a long time, and she hid her ambitions and desires to rebuild an old friendship with her sister.

At that time, Xiao Yanyan had already become the regent queen mother, the most famous queen mother in the history of the Great Liao. And Xiao Huyin was also named the imperial concubine and had supreme rights.

But Xiao Huyin is not satisfied with this, she wants to be the queen, she wants to be the king!

She went to the northland of Kedun Town to defend the city, where she established her own country, and met the young and handsome Manu tart Lan Apo. Despite everyone's opposition, she married this manu, who was more than ten years younger than herself, and bore him a pair of children.

In the end, Xiao Huyin rebelled with Tart Lan Ah Bo and established the Northern Kingdom, and she finally became the queen!

However, the rebellion was soon suppressed by the Empress Dowager Chengtian.

Tart Lan Ah Bo died on the spot, and Xiao Hulin was also taken to Huaizhou to die of poisonous wine.

Alu was not only rescued by Lu Chang and sent to the Song Kingdom, but every time he thought of the tragic death of his parents, his heart was full of infinite hatred.

Alu not only assumed the pseudonym of Lou Zijin, but also followed Bashan to learn martial arts. He wants to learn the most brilliant martial arts, and all his thoughts are on hatred.

When the opportunity came, he resolutely returned to Liao, pulled up the banner of "King of the North", and led the rebels to encroach on the land of Liao, preparing to regain the imperial power in one fell swoop.

"I realized now that there are many possibilities in life, and there are more meaningful things."

Ye Pei smiled indifferently, "A leaf is blind, and you can't see Mount Tai." ”

Lou Zijin nodded, his expression was flat and serene, not depressed.

"I've avenged my mother, but I just failed, and I'm not sorry for her. In the future, I want to carry forward her wishes. Everyone else mistook her and thought she was an insatiable traitor. But I know that she is not, she wants others to see her strength, she wants to defend one side, protect the people of one side, and use her strength to be recognized by others. ”

Ye Pei thought of Liu E, capable people are never willing to be subordinate. But if you go too far, you will be pulled into the abyss from which you will never recover.

Half a year later, Lou Zijin was finally able to stand up and walk again. It's just that it's a lot worse to perform light skills, but he still has a tiger and a tiger when he dances his fire-tipped gun, and he has become a good man again.

During this period, Lou Zijin wrote a plea and handed over the talisman of the country's A. Luduo. Although all of them have been hanged, this talisman represents the complete subjugation of Aru's more than just rebel forces.

Ye Pei's body has almost recovered and is ready to return.

The two of them don't have that kind of affection, life is impermanent, they have experienced too many things, and their separation can no longer make them sad and sad like ordinary people.

And their relationship has long gone beyond love, more like family affection.

The two agreed to start their own new lives, to do what they want to do, and to live for themselves!

In the fourth year of Jingfu, he prevented the king from surrendering to Western Xia and harassed and caused trouble on the western border of Liao.

Aru not only invited the Northwest to fight, but was named the Northwest Road Envoy. He went all the way to the west, and in one fell swoop, he took over the blockade.

Aru was not only named King of Xirong because of his outstanding military achievements, but also guarded the city of Kedun. He finally took over his mother's banner and made great contributions to the Liao State.

He did not inherit his father's amorous personality and remained unmarried until the end of his life.

------

Ye Pei lived in Huailing for half a year, not only did he have no impact on Alu, who was the prince, but it was a huge scandal for Ye Pei, who was the concubine of Nanping Wangfu and the wife of Weiguo.

When Ye Pei returned to Nanjing, Yeluqing's birthday girl personally picked up the wind for her.

During the banquet, the birthday girl said some of the elders' care, and even promised Ye Pei that Xiao Shinan had passed away for a long time, if Ye Pei wanted to remarry, she, as a mother-in-law, would never stop her.

The development of Khitan folk customs, it is natural for a widow to remarry, and it is a minority to mourn for her husband. There is also a "harvest" marriage in which the sister-in-law marries the younger brother after the death of the elder brother, and even the royal family is no exception.

However, it is not uncommon to marry again, and it is another thing to cohabit with other men in the name of Mrs. Guo. Or the sister of the Empress Dowager Fatian at that time, Mrs. Qin Guo was rumored to be an "ugly private door".

Ye Pei didn't care, any rumors would fade away for a long time. It is true that she has a relationship with Lou Zijin, but if she is asked to marry, she will not. She still has a lot of things she wants to do but doesn't do.

Ye Pei coped with his mother-in-law Yelu Qing's birthday, and as soon as he returned to his yard, his stepson Xiao Jingrong came to visit.

Xiao Jingrong has the straightforward personality of a Khitan man, and the rumors he heard at these times have been bothering him, but he doesn't dare to really write a letter to ask, or urge Ye Pei to return.

finally waited for Ye Pei to return home, Xiao Jingrong naturally wanted to come and ask for a letter. In fact, he is very simple, he wants Ye Pei to continue to help him and assist him, but he doesn't want to delay Ye Pei's youth.

Xiao Jingrong bluntly asked his stepmother: "Mother, you have worked so hard for the child, and now you have all the soldiers and horses of the Nancheng battalion, is it really for the child and for the sake of Daliao?" ”

Ye Pei looked at the young man in front of him, who was only eleven or twelve years old, his eyes were bright and thorough, just like his senior brother Lou Zijin back then.

She somehow remembered that when Lou Zijin was the same age as him, he was also so enthusiastic and heartbroken. Now, however, her brother has been tormented by political battles and has become a different person.

Ye Pei choked up a little when he thought of this.

"Jing Rong, I married your father back then, because I had the same ideals and the same state of mind as him, and I admired him as a real man, a real man who stood up to the sky.

We agreed to create a prosperous world together, so that the people of the world will no longer suffer from war. Even after his early death, my ambition never changed, and that's why I still married him without hesitation. Whether it is the people of the Great Song Dynasty or the people of the Great Liao, it is my responsibility, and I want to fight for this will! ”

"You and Prince Aru are so close, will he become the second Han Derang?"

The story of Han Derang and Xiao Yanyan, who in Liao does not know?

Xiao Yanyan was the empress of Yeluxian of Liaojingzong, and was later named Empress Wise and Empress Dowager of Chengtian. She was born in a descendant clan and is the daughter of Xiao Siwen, the prime minister of Beifu, and the aunt of Xiao Shinan and the mother of Yeluqing's birthday daughter. Xiao Yanyan had a marriage contract with Han Derang before she got married.

Han Derang, Khitan name Xingning Yaoge, his grandfather is Han Zhigu, the Zhongshu Ling, and his father is Han Kuanghei, who stayed in Nanjing and was named the king of Yan.

Xiao Yanyan and Han Derang were childhood sweethearts and loved each other, but for political reasons, the prince Yeluxian, who was jointly elected by the two clans, ascended the throne as the emperor, and a holy decree allowed Xiao Yanyan to enter the palace as a concubine.

However, Jingzong did not live long, Qianheng was four years, and Yeluxian, who was only thirty-five years old, died of illness while hunting in Yunzhou, and Xiao Yanyan was only twenty-nine years old at that time. In this way, Xiao Yanyan assisted her son Yelu Longxu to succeed to the throne and was called Liao Shengzong.

After Xiao Yanyan became the empress dowager of Da Liao, she ordered Han Derang to become the regent, and she even asked Yelu Longxu to worship Han Derang as her "father". Xiao Yanyan and Han De let the two of them "go out and have the same account", and there are even rumors that the queen mother will marry.

Regardless of the truth of such rumors, the relationship between two people who trust each other and rely on each other is unbreakable. The achievements they made have made future generations enjoy the benefits, so that the status of Daliao among neighboring countries once became extremely high.

The reigns of Xiao Yanyan and Han Derang created a prosperous era for the Great Liao. The Empress Dowager Chengtian went south twice to personally conquer and personally visited the front line of the Song-Liao War and signed the "Yuanyuan Alliance" for a hundred years of peace. Xifeng Xixia, Beizhen Jurchen, Bohai, Uighur and other countries.

Stabilize the political situation internally, encourage sinology, and promote production, ending the history of the continuous rotation of the throne of the Liao State for decades. During the regent of the Empress Dowager Chengtian, the Liao State reached the largest territory and the most stable political situation in the history of the Liao Dynasty.

However, Xiao Jingrong asked this, obviously asking his stepmother if he would marry Aru again, and took away his rights.

Ye Pei sighed, as straightforward as the Khitans.

"I did like my senior brother in my early years, but at that time he was Lou Zijin, not Alu. At that time, how I wished I could marry him, I loved him so simple and tranquil, I wanted to live with him in seclusion in a place called Qifeng Mountain in the Western Shu of the Southern Dynasty.

However, the truth is not as expected, he doesn't like me, I thought he liked Ding Yuehua, and eloped with her. Who knew that he escaped and returned to Liao, for his political ambitions, for revenge, he hid so deeply, I never thought that things would develop like this.

Later, I returned to Bianliang City and wanted to marry my childhood sweetheart Zhao Yingying, who is now Zhao Zhen, the son of Song Dynasty, and I think I share the same political ideals with him. However, the world is unpredictable, and the courtiers of the Song Dynasty are afraid that I will become the second Empress Dowager of Zhang Xian, and oppose Zhao Zhen marrying me.

Later, the Liao State provoked a war, and I went to the Liao State as a military general, and met your father again on the battlefield. His big heart accepted me and made me look forward to love again. I almost felt like I was a happy person at that time.

But the good times didn't last long, he was killed by King Langya and the Empress Dowager Fatian, I hope to avenge him, and I hope that his death will not have a negative impact on the Song-Liao Alliance. I still married, I swore that even if I was a widow for the rest of my life, I would marry her, I don't want to see the Song and Liao disputes again, whether it is the Song Dynasty or the Liao State, they can't afford to fight again and again.

I had no children, and my only brother died. Now that only you and Yiyi are my relatives, what is the use of me asking for this right? A hundred years later, it's just a joke.

Da Liao can't stand the toss, and I don't want the political situation to keep changing, because that won't benefit anyone. Behind me is the entire Great Song Dynasty, in front of me is the entire Great Liao, and I am concerned about the future of the two countries. I hope that they can always maintain peace, friendly trade, seek common ground while reserving differences, and there will be no more wars!

What I want is not love, not power, not even fame, but something bigger and more ambitious, so that misfortune will not continue, so that everyone in the world can be happy! ”

Xiao Jingrong listened to Ye Pei's heartfelt words, he was extremely excited, bowed down, and shouted: "Mother, it's the son's son who blames you!" ”

Since then, no one in the house has ever asked anything like this.
