(I finally finished writing it before 12 o'clock, I'm sorry, everyone, please bear with me!)

When the body of the Sticky Khan burned out, Chihu ordered his ashes to be collected in the altar and buried in a pit on the spot. Then he ordered dozens of people to mount their horses and run back and forth on the grave. In a few moments, the pile of dirt on the head of the Sticky Khan's grave was trampled tightly and levelly.

Unlike the customs of the Central Plains, the tombs of the Khitans did not need protruding parts, and they wanted to be one with the steppe after their deaths, from ordinary people to khans.

When the snow melts and the spring breeze blows in the next year, a large patch of grass will grow here. No one would know that there was a Khitan khan sleeping underneath the ground.

Then the soldiers of each tent came forward in turn to mourn for the first khan, but until most of the hour had passed, most of the soldiers still failed to complete the necessary rituals. Chi Hu frowned at the goose feathers and snow fluttering in the sky, and he ordered all his soldiers to bow down in the snow at the same time and salute the first khan. A dignified funeral ended hastily.

Li Jing stepped forward and made two gestures in front of the grave, she glanced back at Liu Yu, and he was the only one who did not move at all from beginning to end. She secretly pulled down the corner of his sleeve and whispered, "You should kneel down for the first khan, so that you can win the hearts of a large number of people from the Haruka clan." ”

Liu Yu was silent, got on his horse directly, and walked out of the big array. Li Jing saw that something was wrong with him, so she hurriedly rode a BMW and chased after him, saying, "Hey, I said, why don't you listen to me, this is a great opportunity to win back people's hearts." If Brother Liu is here, I'm sure that even if she is kowtowing to the first khan a hundred times, she will be willing. ”

Liu Yu didn't look back, and said: "This sticky bead khan has sent troops south to plunder several times, causing the people of the Central Plains to live in misery, and it is impossible for me to worship him." The reason why I buried him was because I didn't want Jerushlu to see our jokes, and secondly because he was the elder brother of my sixth master, and that's it!"

Li Jing said: "Although you say so, I always feel that there is something wrong with you. Liu Yu sighed, leaned into her ear, and told her about the fact that everyone by the firewood first avoided the smell of corpses, and then came up to roast the fire.

Li Jing laughed out loud after hearing this, and said, "What is the important thing for me, you are using the practice of a saint to ask others, you must know that 'do unto others what you do not want to be done to yourself'." ”

Liu Yu shook his head and said, "I don't think it's anything difficult to do!" Li Jing said: "But most people don't think the same as you think, they prefer to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages." The soldiers liked you because you could drink with them and lead them to victory. ”

Liu Yu raised his head and sighed, "Okay! Maybe there are too many things I don't understand." The two rode on horseback and walked for a long time in the snowy array, and as they walked, they returned to their original places. Chi Hu led the army and followed, and nearly 20,000 people were trapped in the snowy array, unable to get out.

Li Jing hurriedly said: "Who destroyed the mark I made?" Liu Yuyao pointed to a red dot in the snow in the distance and said, "It should have been done by that person, it looks like Brother Liu." Li Jing hated: "She wants to freeze us all here!"

According to the memories of the past, Liu Yu went to find the method of the formation that Tongma had told him. However, those mounds and stone monuments have been buried under the vast white snow at this moment, where can they still be seen?

The army of the Yao Ran clan was trapped in the large array for half a day, and the soldiers were so cold that they stomped their feet in the snow, and under the mixture of cold and hunger, the army gradually complained. Li Jing smashed Liu Yu's arm and complained: "Look! It's so easy to save people's hearts, this is almost gone, you have to enter this damn array!"

Liu Yu bit his lip and said, "It's all my fault, I'll find the way by myself!" He rode his horse away, and Li Jing hurriedly said: "I'll go with you." The two of them rode through the snow for about a stick of incense, and then returned to the same place.

Li Jing said with annoyance: "If there is a chance for me to catch that Brother Liu again, I must break her body into ten thousand pieces!" As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Yu rode out again, and she couldn't help complaining: "What a fool!" Although she said this, she also chased after her.

Liu Yu took a different path this time, trying to find a way out among the scattered mountains and rocks. As he was walking, he suddenly heard someone shouting to him in Khitan not far away: "Stop, you can't go there!" He looked back and saw an old Khitan man in his sixties riding a horse on the top of a rock. The old man was a burly man, and a thick beard covered his chest.

He hurriedly grabbed the reins of the horse, but the horse was new to him, and he was not very obedient, and still stubbornly ran forward a few steps. Hearing a boom, the snow under the horse's hooves collapsed, he felt his body light, and in shock, he hurriedly put his feet on the stirrups in unison, and his body flew backwards from the horse's back.

He landed firmly on the snow with his feet on the ground, watched his horse fall into the snow hole, and thought, "If it weren't for this old Khitan man reminding me, I'm afraid I would have suffered this time." ”

He walked up to the old Khitan man, bowed to him deeply, and said, "Thank you for saving your life!" The old man laughed, stretched out his hand to him, invited him to ride with him, and asked, "Child, why are you lost here, and are there any other people with you?"

Liu Yu hurriedly replied, "Yes, there are a lot of people, can you take us out with us?" The old man replied, "Yes, let's try." ”

At this time, Li Jing chased after her, and when she saw the old man riding the same horse with Liu Yu, she couldn't help but widen her eyes in surprise. The old man also saw her, and said with a smile: "Little girl, why are you here?" It turned out that this old man was the only messenger sent by Du Bobu that Li Jing had mentioned to Liu Yu.

Li Jing smiled and said, "I didn't expect to meet you here, uncle, we are really fate!" The old man touched his thick beard and said with a smile: "You ghost girl is very flattering, why don't you run away with me after drinking?"

Li Jing blushed and said, "After all, people are girls, and they will be shy if they drink too much." Anyway, when she heard the old man say that she could take her people out into battle, she was overjoyed.

The three of them returned along the same path and found Chi Hu and the others, and Liu Yu changed a horse again. Under the leadership of the old man, the group finally bent left and right in the vast wind and snow. After walking about three incense sticks, everyone saw that the grassland in front of them was a vast area, spreading straight into the distance, and they knew that they had walked out of the strange Baoyue Mountain array. The old Khitan man exhaled a breath of white air in the cold wind, and immediately stood alone in the cold wind, and did not talk to others. Li Jing secretly muttered to Liu Yu: "It's really strange, he has lived on the shore of the North Sea all year round, how can he understand this formation?"

Liu Yu said: "There are many strange people in the world, what is so strange about this old man being able to solve this formation?" Li Jing said: "I don't believe it, I will definitely ask him if I have the opportunity!"

The old Khitan waited until everyone was out of trouble, then looked back on the horse and said goodbye to everyone, and said: "Old man Sorentay, say goodbye to everyone here, and look forward to seeing each other again at the upcoming martial arts competition." Li Jing was shocked when she heard this: "It turns out that he is here for this matter." ”

Hearing this, Chi Hulu and the others hurriedly dismounted and gave a long bow to the Saurente. Saurontai raised his hand, signaled that everyone should not be formal, and disappeared alone into the snow.

After that, the army of the Yao Clan, under the leadership of the Red Gang Gangster, braved the wind and snow to go west. The snow is quite deep, even if the horses step on the snow, it is also shallow and deep. Along the way, all the soldiers complained about Liu Yu because of the big array of Huyue Mountain.

After Liu Yu heard this, he was silent. Li Jing sighed: "Look, you just led them to win a battle, and they treated you like this. Anyway, in the end, you find people and take them out of the big array, what a bunch of white-eyed wolves. ”

Liu Yu replied: "I thought about it just now, what you said earlier is right, I can't ask too much of them. As Emperor Taizong said, water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat, and I can't always hope that they will carry my boat. ”

Li Jing laughed and said, "Yo, I really can't see it, when will you drop your book bag?" Liu Yu scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Actually, I will say this." ”

When it was getting dark, the army marched to the bottom of a mountain. Chihu ordered the army to camp at the foot of the mountain, where the mountains were used as a barrier, and the wind and snow were lighter than elsewhere. Otherwise, the tent will be stuck in the snow and will be blown away by the wind and snow in the middle of the night.

While the soldiers slaughtered cattle and sheep, they melted large chunks of ice and snow into iron pots and boiled them. When the smell of meat overflowed, everyone couldn't help but be hungry, and stepped forward one by one to eat the meat with their hands.

At this moment, there was a sound of horses' hooves outside the camp gate, and Chi was so frightened that he hurriedly called hundreds of soldiers to go out with him to see what was going on. Seeing this, Liu Yu and Li Jing also put down the leg of mutton in their hands and walked out.

Standing at the gate of the camp, everyone faintly saw a group of people galloping on the snow under the starlight, and it seemed that there were about forty riders. At the sound of an order, all the soldiers drew their sabers and prepared to fight.

The group stopped about twenty paces away from Chihu and the others, and the leader took off his felt hat with a resolute face, it was Yao Yuantai. Although the moonlight was hazy at the moment, Liu Yu could still see that his face was pale.

Yao Yantai said in a deep voice: "Heh, did you disown me so quickly?" Chi Hu was so frightened that he quickly turned over and dismounted, knelt in the snow with all the soldiers, and said in a trembling voice: "It is really a capital crime for my subordinates to fail to recognize the third prince! These days, we have been waiting for you to come back. ”

Yao Yantai snorted from his throat and said, "Get up! You led your troops to win the battle against Yelu Shilu, and you are a meritorious man, and I will not punish you for this." It turned out that he had already known about the previous big victory along the way.

Li Jing was a little dissatisfied after hearing his words, she leaned close to Liu Yu's ear and said: "That battle was obviously won by you, why is the credit now returned to Chihu?" Liu Yu said: "It's good to win, the idea is all thought of together, I just take the lead." ”

Li Jing poked his head with his finger and scolded softly: "What an elm head! In my opinion, Yao Yuantai is jealous of your merits." ”

Yao Yuantai led the generals and rode past Liu Yu, but he did not stop talking to him, but rushed into the barracks in a hurry, as if to find a treasure that he had lost for a long time.

At this time, the soldiers of all the tents had learned of the return of the commander, and they came out of their tents to greet them, and they knelt in the snow in rows. Yao Yuantai waved at everyone, didn't say much, and went straight into the main tent.

In the team behind him, there were several people who were not the generals of the Yao Yuan clan, and these people were the first time Liu Yu had seen them. He counted eight people, including an old man and seven young men. These people are all carrying swords, and they look like they are not small.

Since Yao Yuantai took back the main tent, Chi Hu settled the rest of the dozens of people, but he had no place to live at night, so he wanted to find someone else to sleep with for the night. Liu Yu said, "Will you come to live in my tent?" Chi Hu asked suspiciously, "Then where do you live, are you with me?" ”

Liu Yu said: "It's okay, I have my own way." He lifted the curtain and stepped into the snow, wanting to relax, but found Li Jing standing outside the tent. Li Jing stepped forward and grabbed him, dragged him into his tent, and whispered: "You have to pay attention to protecting yourself, Yao Yuantai is not good this time." ”

Liu Yu said: "He is my sixth master, I am doing things for him wholeheartedly, and he will not harm me." Li Jing shook her head and said, "According to me, none of your eight masters are sincere to you. Of course, Yao Yuan Tai likes you as an apprentice, but he takes the position of Khan more seriously.

"Now that you have won a big battle with Yelu Shilu and taken away all the military hearts that belong to him, how can he not hate you? If you make you a Khitan Khan, what is the difference between it and Yelu Shilu being called Khan? ”

Liu Yu said: "But I haven't thought about this, I have no interest in this Laoshzi Khitan Khan throne! Not to mention that now these soldiers have a lot of complaints against me, and I am still a Han Chinese." ”

Brother Liu sighed: "There are some things that you can't do by yourself, it's not that you don't want to do it, others won't doubt you anymore." Liu Yu said: "If this is the case, I will leave the camp tonight." ”

Li Jing grabbed him and said, "Don't! This is the safe place." In front of everyone's eyes, Yao Yuantai didn't dare to kill you. If you dare to leave alone, you can't be sure what will happen. ”

Liu Yu's eyes widened when he heard this, and he exclaimed, "How could my Sixth Master kill me? He is not that kind of person!"

Li Jing said: "If it was in the past, he would never do this." But things are different now, and he sees you as a strong opponent for the throne. Did you notice the eight people he brought back?"

Liu Yu nodded and said, "See, those people seem to be from the Central Plains Martial Arts." Li Jing smiled: "Finally, you are not blind, if you dare to go out of the camp alone, those eight people will definitely follow quietly and kill you." ”

Liu Yu said: "It's just death, what else can I do?" Li Jing pushed him down on the couch and shouted: "Hurry up and sleep, don't have so many questions! I can't believe that you can win the battle with your elm head!"

Liu Yu hurriedly said: "This can't be done, this is your tent." You are a girl, you can't let me ruin your reputation. Li Jing pressed him back and scolded lightly: "I want to be beautiful, I want to take advantage of me, you little kid is still early." I'm here to protect you!"

She pulled out her twin knives, quietly guarded behind the tent door, and said, "You hurry up and sleep, tomorrow's affairs are estimated to be your endurance." ”

This night passed extremely long in Liu Yuju, and until the fourth watch, he still had his eyes open. He saw that Li Jing had already fallen asleep at the mouth of the tent with two knives, so he tiptoed forward and carried her to the couch. And he made a bunk under the collapse, and after a while, he became tired, and finally fell asleep in chaos.

In the early morning of the second day, as Li Jing expected, Yao Yuantai sent someone to break into the tent early in the morning to summon Liu Yu to the main tent to discuss matters. Li Jing was woken up, she opened her eyes, and found that she was sleeping on the couch, which was a little inexplicable. However, before she came back to her senses, Liu Yu had already gone out of the tent with the soldier.

When Liu Yu stepped into the main tent, he found that Yao Yuantai's eyelids were a little puffy, and he obviously hadn't slept all night. Haruka Tai's tired expression was accompanied by a hint of imperceptible excitement. However, when he saw Liu Yu, this vague excitement immediately turned into fierceness. (To be continued.) )
