Xue Hongmei was hit in the back, let out a scream, and barely fell off Cui Baoying. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info She stretched out her hand and hit the Shenting acupoint in the back of Cui Baoying's head, Cui Baoying screamed, and her speed suddenly increased a lot, carrying Xue Hongmei away. In a moment, both of them had disappeared into the night.

Liu Yu sighed deeply, his palm just now was enough to shock the meridians of Xue Hongmei's body. If this person does not rest for five or six years, it will be difficult for him to come back to the rivers and lakes. He thought to himself, "At that time, the hatred in her heart may have disappeared, and her temperament will no longer be as perverse as it is today!"

He flew up to the dome of the Khan King's tent, only to see that there was no one on the top of the tent, thinking that Tang Feng had already taken the opportunity to flee when he saw Xue Hongmei defeated.

At midnight, he and Yelu Daliu and others planned the funeral of Yelu Shilu the next day, and returned to Xie Anniang's tent alone, only to see her embroidering in the candlelight.

When Xie Anniang saw him coming back, she raised her head and smiled: "Why didn't you take me to tonight's feast?"

Liu Yu sat on the edge of his couch, supported his chin with his hand, and quietly looked at Xie Anniang's embroidery, "You've seen too much bloodshed, I don't want you to see it again." ”

Xie Anniang lowered her head and smiled, "Actually, it's nothing, it's been more than ten years since the Xie family was beheaded by the imperial court, not only have I forgotten the smell of blood, but I have also begun to forget my father's appearance a little." ”

Liu Yu could hear the pain in her laughter, he walked over lightly, staring at the pattern under her needlework, "What are you embroidering?"

Xie Anniang stopped the needle and thread in her hand and showed him the work, "This is a new dress sewn for you, and when you return to the Central Plains, you will have to wear the clothes of the Central Plains." Look at this eagle pattern, do you like it?"

Liu Yu nodded, wanting to speak, but felt that his throat and eyes were choked, and after a long time, he spoke, "I like it!"

He couldn't help but look at her face more, only to feel that she was as delicate as jade in the candlelight, and then quickly withdrew his gaze, not daring to look again.

After all, in his heart, the softest position had already been occupied by the brutal Li Jing.

"How do you know I want to go back to the Central Plains?" he asked.

"We've been living together for three years, and I don't understand what you're thinking. Xie Anniang lowered her head and continued to embroider.

"Now the big thing has been decided, tomorrow's Khan's funeral, or you can go for me!" Liu Yu tried to ask her.

"Why, you don't want to go? Actually, I don't want to go either. Xie Anniang raised her head.

"It's not good for me to go, and others will think that I have the heart to sweat. Liu Yu sighed.

"Then if you don't go, someone has to preside over the funeral, right? Xie Anniang began to think about him.

"The new khan will be tomorrow, and I have already arranged it. Liu Yu replied.

"Who is it?" Xie Anniang couldn't help but feel a trace of curiosity in her heart.

For the woman in front of him, Liu Yu didn't want to hide the slightest, so he came out of the tray, "Yi Dun, the widow of the Sticky Bead Khan, he will become one of the many Khitan Khans on duty in the future." Sun Meihe has already brought him back, and this child is now quite tall, up to my waist. I'm going to let him inherit Yelu Shilu's surname and change his name to Abaoji!"

"Khan takes turns, you want to please everyone, and at the same time appease your conscience, but it's hard to do that. Xie Anniang pointed out sharply.

Liu Yu lowered his head, "It's just that everyone is doing their best to obey the destiny of heaven, not to mention pleasing everyone, let them all be khans, and then they will know the suffering." Yi Dun is a good child, he has the blood of the Yao Ran clan, and he is also very smart. If Jerusherus had been alive, he would have liked him. It was fitting that he should inherit the surname of Jerusher. Jerushlus has done so much for this grassland, and it should not be forgotten casually. I have already made a rule with Yelu Daliu and the others, and the position of the Khan in the future will only be held for three years at a time. When Yelu Abaoji grows up as the Yili Jin of the Khitan Diera Division, one day it will be his turn to take the position of Khan, and at that time, people will think of Yelu Shilu. ”

Xie Anniang endured for a long time without speaking, and then said: "I don't want others to remember Yelu Shilu, you know that he hurt me." ”

"I'm sorry, I'm confused, I shouldn't have told you this!" Liu Yu said busily.

"It's nothing. Xie Anniang smiled slightly, "I'll go to tomorrow's funeral for you, and I'll tell you the news when I come back." ”

"Good!"

The next day, an atmosphere of sadness permeated the entire camp, with mournful cries coming from the direction of the makeshift earthen platform. To Liu Yu's ears, some of these cries are real and some are false. The cry is mixed with the chanting of the shaman, and like the cry, some are real and some are false.

It wasn't until dusk that the grassland fell silent again. Everyone must have already begun to prepare for the charcoal ceremony to welcome the birth of the first shift khan.

Liu Yu hid in Xie Anniang's tent and peeled chestnuts without stopping all day. When Xie Anniang returned, a hill-like chestnut had been piled up in front of him.

"How's the funeral going?" he asked, looking up.

"It's all done as you want, Jerush's funeral chariot is already on the road, and Jeroderius has sent five hundred soldiers to guard it. Mrs. Xiao kept crying, and she didn't know if it was for herself or for Yelu Shilu. Until the funeral car left, she still cried behind the car. Xie Anniang sat down on the edge of the couch with a tired face.

"Maybe it's because she doesn't want to go back to her hometown, because that place reminds her of too many things. Liu Yu said lightly.

"It must have something to do with the fact that you have been relieved of her military power, right? I heard that the poor woman had just returned to her tent last night and learned that all her men had been transferred, and she seemed to have scolded you all night. Xie Anniang said with a smile.

"Even you think she's pitiful. Liu Yu said quietly.

"Yes, even an honest person like you lied to her, can she not be sad?" Xie Anniang brought a copper basin and helped Liu Yu fill the case with a pile of chestnuts, "When did you become so fond of eating chestnuts? Why don't I know?"

Liu Yu lowered his head, "It's the first sweat to peel." He didn't seem to want to dwell on the topic, and instead asked, "Why don't you participate in tonight's burnt wood ceremony, I heard that the first shift khan will be elected?"

Xie Anniang gave him a blank look, "If you want to know who the new khan is, I'll just ask you." Although you don't leave the house, everyone knows that now the decrees of the eight Khitan departments are all from your mouth, if you don't open your mouth, no one outside will dare to jump even a little. ”

Liu Yu smiled slightly, unwilling to hide it from her anymore, "The first shift khan may be Yili Jin of the Yue Wu tribe, this person has always been loyal to Yelu Shilu, and his ambition is also small, so he will not invade the Central Plains. ”

"That's not necessarily, except for weirdos like you, anyone who has military power will have ambitions. Xie Anniang put away the chestnuts and put the copper basin aside.

"I have given all the military power to Bao Huji and Long Tai, and they are in charge of the left and right armies. At the same time, the number of the Khan's personal guards was increased to 2,000 to reward Jerodanius for his merits. Even if the new khan had an idea, with these three people here, he would have nothing to do. Liu Yu replied.

"Sure enough, I said you wouldn't let someone be a khan so casually. This first shift khan is really pitiful, and he is restrained everywhere. Xie Anniang had an expected expression.

Author's note: In 908 A.D., Yelu Abaoji pacified the Khitan tribes at a burnt wood ceremony, becoming the first lifelong Khan of the Khitan in decades. Perhaps because of his background, he had no prejudice against the Han people, and appointed Han Yanhui, a Han person, to formulate laws, reform customs, create Khitan culture, and develop agriculture and commerce. In 916 A.D., the ministers and the vassal states were called the Great Sage Daming God Lietian Emperor, who reigned for 20 years, that is, the emperor for 11 years, and was known as the Taizu of the Liao Dynasty.
