It was already evening when Le Yiyang escorted the county lord Xiao Cuixin to Mozhou. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 The more than a dozen Khitan soldiers led the two to the gate of Yelu Deguang's camp, and left on their own according to the instructions of the former battalion commander Yelu Ruan.

The Khitan army was extremely hierarchical. In order to ensure the emperor's safety as much as possible, ordinary soldiers were not allowed to enter the camps at will. If they accidentally enter, the guards of the Royal Forest can be killed for the crime of treason.

Xiao Cuixin and Le Yiyang waited at the gate of the camp for half an hour, the sky was already dark, and finally received the command of Yelu Deguang, and the two of them immediately went to the camp tent to see the driver.

The two of them first followed the eight guards in bronze armor and zigzagged more than a hundred steps through the camp, and then were replaced by eight other palace guards.

This was repeated over and over again, about ten times to change, hundreds of tents, and more than a pillar of incense, before arriving at the king's tent of Yelu Deguang. The tent was heavily fenced around and guarded by a royal guard every five steps.

There were two guards waiting at the main entrance of the big tent, and the two of them were surprised when they saw Xiao Cuixin and Le Yiyang. Xiao Cuixin and Le Yiyang saw the two of them, and their eyes widened at the same time.

The two guards were Lu Wanli and He Liantian. The two went to the Jin Kingdom with the princess Yelu Zhongying that day, and had a relationship with Le Yiyang and Xiao Cuixin in Kaifeng's farewell building. After the tree moon, several people met again, thousands of miles away.

Lu Wanli took a step forward and said respectfully: "My subordinates have come to see the county lord." Xiao Cuixin had never seen these red tapes, and hurriedly squatted down to return the salute. Lu Wanli said again: "County Lord, the emperor has been waiting for you in the tent for a long time, let's go in." He glanced at Le Yiyang, and said in a harmonious voice: "Le Gongzi, I didn't expect to meet again so soon." Since you have come with the lord of the county, please put it into your account. ”

Le Yiyang said casually: "Senior Lu, it's been a long time. He took out the Qingyun Xuankong Sword and handed it to one of the royal forest guards, and then entered the big tent with Xiao Cuixin.

The large tent is dozens of zhang in circumference and can accommodate hundreds of people at the same time. Thousands of huge candles were lit inside, reflecting the whole tent as if it were day.

At this time, there were only a few people present in the big tent, which was extremely empty. Jerod sat on the dragon chair and was reviewing the recital. The cantata are all written in Khitan script and Chinese characters together. Although the Khitan were nomadic people, in Yelu Deguang's generation, due to the promotion of Han culture in China, everyone from princes and nobles to ordinary people knew some Chinese characters.

When Yelu Deguang saw Xiao Cuixin coming recently, he hurriedly put down the music in his hand and moved to the center of the big tent to greet him. After Xiao Cuixin approached, she saluted and said, "Xiao Cuixin greets the emperor." ”

Yelu Deguang was stunned in his heart, but quickly came to his senses and said: "Good boy, you have been exiled in the Jin Kingdom all these years and have suffered a lot of grievances, and the imperial uncle will slowly compensate you in the future." ”

Xiao Cuixin raised her head, saw that the temples of the person in front of her had turned a little white, her face was kind and kind, and she was looking at herself with a smile, and suddenly recalled her father Yelubei's voice and smile, her heart was sour, and tears kept flowing out.

Yelu Deguang took out a handkerchief from his arms, helped her wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and comforted: "Good boy, don't be sad, as long as there is an imperial uncle, no one will bully you in the future." After he finished speaking, he ordered someone to take a gold medal and hand it to Xiao Cuixin with his own hands. Xiao Cuixin glanced at it and saw that the gold medal was written in Khitan script and Chinese characters.

Xiao Cui remembered what her brother said in Yingzhou, and didn't dare to reach out to pick it up, so she choked up and said, "Your Majesty, I have received your kindness." ”

Yelu Deguang was stunned for a moment, and then said gently: "Good boy, do you know how important this gold medal is. When the Khitan subjects saw the gold medal, it was like seeing me. There are only three pieces in the world today. The other two pieces were in the hands of the crown prince Yelu Jing and the princess Yelu Zhongying. Yelu Deguang felt ashamed of his niece, so he gave her this gold medal.

Xiao Cuixin won the gold medal at this time, and said softly: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Yelu Deguang laughed out loud and said, "Good boy, you're welcome, we are a family." He asked her about the situation of Le Yiyang next to her, and said praiseworthily: "It's rare that Le Shaoxia is sincere." ”

Yelu Deguang asked Xiao Cuixin and Le Yiyang to sit down and talk, and asked her about some recent conditions, and learned that she had a deep affection for the Central Plains, and said: "Good boy, you don't have to worry, you can go back in a few days." ”

Le Yiyang heard the meaning of the words, and thought of the imminent war in Hengzhou, and his heart was uneasy. Yelude looked at Le Yiyang's solemn expression, and deliberately asked, "What is Le Shaoxia thinking?" Le Yiyang stood up and replied: "Your Majesty, I am thinking about how the people of Hengzhou are doing. ”

As soon as these words came out, the guards in the tent were all taken aback. Lu Wanli saw that the emperor's face turned gloomy, and secretly sweated for Le Yiyang in his heart.

Yerod pondered for a moment and said, "The two countries are at war, and the people are the most miserable. If I, the Khitan, can defeat Shatuo, I will definitely save the people of Li and the fire and water. Yelu Deguang began to read the Tao of Confucius and Mencius since he was a child, and at this time he spoke without pretentiousness.

Le Yiyang took the opportunity to say: "The emperor loves the people, and he will receive the support of the people!"

Jerod laughed a few times and motioned for him to sit down.

At this time, I suddenly heard the sound of brisk footsteps outside the tent, and then I remembered a crisp voice. When the woman entered the big tent, Le Yiyang's heart suddenly melted.

The guards saluted the woman and said, "Your Royal Highness the princess is well!" The man was Yelu Zhongying, the daughter of Yelu Deguang.

Yelu Zhongying smiled and said coquettishly: "Father, the county lord's sister is here, and you won't tell me." Jerod smiled silently.

Yelu Zhongying looked at Xiao Cuixin and Le Yiyang, and a surprised expression suddenly appeared on her face.

Xiao Cuixin hurriedly got up and said softly, "Your Royal Highness the Princess." Yelu Zhongying walked over with a smile and said, "This world is really too small. How similar is this big tent today to that day in the Green Building. She glanced at Le Yiyang and asked, "Le Gongzi, did you say it?"

Le Yiyang nodded and said, "The princess is very right!"

Yelu Zhongying walked up to him and whispered, "Le Gongzi, do you miss me?" Le Yiyang's face changed greatly after hearing this, she didn't expect her to ask this question suddenly, and she didn't know how to answer for a while. Yelu Zhongying saw that he was at a loss, and said, "I miss you every day?"

Xiao Cuixin couldn't hear what she was talking about, but she faintly felt a sore pain in her chest.

Seeing this, Yelu Deguang said loudly: "Ying'er, don't mess around. Le Shaoxia is to accompany your sister to Mozhou, you can't embarrass him. ”

Yelu Zhongying had already guessed it, and reluctantly left Le Yiyang and found a place to sit down, but her eyes were still staring at him.
