Du Chongwei has been galloping in the officialdom for ten years, and he has long been as calm as water, and in the face of Tuoba Jiyu's radical method, he said calmly: "Tuoba Jiyu, you don't need to worry about it at this time." If the Khitan mission www.biquge.info put forward excessive demands, the Great Jin Emperor would definitely not agree. It's not early, the old man has to rush back to Kaifeng to participate in the early dynasty, don't say goodbye!"

Tuoba Jiyu saluted again. Du Chongwei was just about to get into the carriage, and then turned around and admonished: "Tuoba Jiyu, what happened fourteen years ago, the old man never wants to hear anyone mention it again. Tuoba Jiyu nodded again and again, and said: "Don't worry, Lord Taiwei, only God knows, the earth knows, you know, and I know, and there will never be a third living person who knows." Du Chongwei was relieved to get into the carriage and leave with peace of mind.

When Du Chongwei walked away, Tuoba Jiyu suddenly pulled out a big knife and swung it forward, cutting off a big tree five or six zhang away. Du Chongwei put away the big knife, pointed at the direction of his Du Chongwei's departure, and said fiercely: "Du Chongwei, let's see." One day, I will make you kneel beside me and beg for mercy. ”

There was a rumbling sound as the tree fell to the ground. In a short time, dozens of party warriors came out of the woods. One of them walked up to Tuoba Jiyu and said, "General, why didn't you kill that old man just now?" Tuoba Jiyu sneered: "How easy is it to kill him?" The man said: "There are so many of us, he only has one person, and it is easy to kill him." After hearing this, Tuoba Jiyu said in a straight voice: "Nonsense! Where do you think this is? This place is only 400 miles away from Kaifeng Mansion, the capital of the Jin Kingdom. Besides, Du Chongwei is an old fox, you think he will come to this barren mountain and wilderness alone to die. ”

Tuoba Jiyu is right. Just a quarter of an hour after the two of them met Du Chongwei, on the other side of the woods, three hundred Royal Forest Army were standing in formation, and more than fifty archers had already drawn their strong bows. If Du Chongwei hadn't felt that Tuoba Jiyu and his warriors would have used it in the future, he would have ordered his subordinates to release arrows to pierce Tuoba Jiyu's heart with ten thousand arrows. Even if Tuoba Jiyu has superior martial arts, it is difficult to escape the net laid by Du Chongwei.

Those party warriors shuddered when they heard this, and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads. The north wind blew, and everyone shivered with cold. Tuoba Jiyu said: "Everyone must remember that without my instructions, you must not act rashly. The warriors hurriedly knelt down and said, "From now on, you will all listen to the orders of the general!"

Tuoba Jiyu motioned for everyone to get up, looked at a warrior who had just come out of Xiazhou, stretched his brows, and asked loudly, "What happened to the Dingyan Army recently?" The man stood up and replied respectfully: "General Qiqi, Xia Guogong is going to hold a crown ceremony for the prince next month. Now Xiazhou is making a big deal about this matter. I heard that the Jin Kingdom, the Tibetans, the Uighurs, and the Khitan would all send people to congratulate them. After hearing this, Tuoba Jiyu fell into deep thought, let the cold wind blow the long hair on his head, and after a long time, he said to himself: "Xiazhou? I haven't been back for many years." I don't know if my mother is in good health?"

The man had been standing beside Tuoba Jiyu until he heard him speak, and then he said cautiously: "The old lady is still in good health, and Xia Guogong often goes to visit. After hearing this, Tuoba Jiyu knelt down in the northwest direction and said sadly: "Mother, the child is incompetent, and he has not achieved anything so far. ”

The samurai were also very sad when they heard this.

The man waited until Tuoba Jiyu got up, and asked cautiously: "General, there is still one thing in your subordinates, I don't know if I should talk about it?" Tuoba Jiyu looked at the man and saw that he was sincere, so he nodded and said, "It's okay for you to say." The man said: "A few days ago, Youzhou General Duguding attempted to assassinate Liu Zhiyuan, the envoy of the East Jiedu of the Great Jin River, and the matter was exposed. ”

Tuoba Jiyu listened to it, and said with a smile: "This may just be Li Yiyin's trick, which is for Liu Zhiyuan to see." But it's a wonderful thing, and you can send some more people to find out. If Dugu can't think about it and leaves the party in a fit of anger, that's the best. ”

The man followed Tuoba Jiyu's words and said, "If Dugu is willing to follow the general, we will be like a tiger with wings. Tuoba Jiyu's face did not change, and said: "I hope he can figure it out as soon as possible." ”

One person stood up and said loudly: "General, there is something unknown to my subordinates. You and Xia Guogong are the grandsons of the same grandfather, and Xia Guogong has no biological brothers, why doesn't he let you stay in the Dingyan Army to take care of the old lady? ”

Tuoba Jiyu hung his head and said in a low voice: "This matter is a long story. Li Yiyin just wants to keep his glory and wealth, where would he think of the thousands of achievements of our party. Today's Duguding is the me of the year. After hearing this, the samurai probably understood the reason, and stopped asking.

Tuoba Jiyu raised his head, turned to look at the mountains and forests behind him, and said, "You should take good care of the families of the deceased, and give each of them a hundred taels of gold at home." They died for the cause of the party, and they died without regrets, and their souls will definitely go to heaven. ”

They gathered a large number of dead branches, lit a bonfire, and then all of them faced the bonfire, closed their eyes, and recited ancient incantations that only the party members could understand, and overtook the three or four samurai who died in the hundred days.

After those party warriors finished reciting the incantation, they all asked in a big voice: "General, what should we do now?" Tuoba Jiyu said calmly: "Continue to chase and kill Yelu Zhongying, and you must not let her leave the Jin Kingdom alive." Everyone said "no". Tuoba Jiyu instructed again: "Everyone will act separately tonight, so as not to attract the attention of the Jin Kingdom, and we will meet again in Kaifeng Mansion." ”

Those party warriors took the order, and in a team of two or three, they quickly dispersed in all directions. Tuoba Jiyu was the last to leave the woods.

Le Yiyang saw all this clearly in the wooden house, and thought to himself: "Poor Khitan princess, only fifteen or sixteen years old, has become a thorn in the side of this group of party warriors, and she must be eliminated as soon as possible. I must not let their plot succeed. ”

I remembered the conversation between Tuoba Jiyu and Du Chongwei before. Le Yiyang is usually familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, and is well versed in the truth of "benevolence, righteousness, propriety and wisdom", and thinks: "That Du Chongwei is not a righteous gentleman. He instructed Tuoba Jiyu to kill a general in the Tang Dynasty, and only then did he have the status of "one person under ten thousand people" today. No wonder the two can be in cahoots...... "At this time, how did Le Yiyang know that the general who was killed by Du Chongwei was his biological father.

When the party members were far away, the woods returned to peace. The hour was about the hour. Le Yiyang gently closed the wooden window, tiptoed to the bed, took off his clothes and covered Lai Jiyun, and then returned to the door, sat on the stone bench obliquely, holding the burden he carried with him in his hand, and fell asleep against the door frame.

Lai Jiyun turned around slightly, and said "Le Gongzi" in his sleep, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The next morning, the sun shone into the room from the panes of the cabin, and the floor was reflected in the shadows. One of the rays of sunlight shone through the crack in the door and hit Le Yiyang's face. Le Yiyang felt a burst of red light in front of him, slowly opened his eyes, and found that he was wearing the clothes he had given to Ji Yunkai last night. Le Yiyang stood up and looked around the house, but he didn't see Ji Yun's figure, so he took his luggage, took the Qingyun Xuankong Sword, and stepped out of the house quickly.

Lai Jiyun was practicing his sword in the woods outside the house. Le Yiyang quietly stood aside, admiring her beautiful figure at this time. Although Ji Yun's thousand-shaped sword technique has only been learned three or four percent, he can still use it freely. I saw that her right hand kept waving, and there was almost no trace of the sword in her hand. Le Yiyang was looking at his mind, and suddenly saw Ji Yun floating towards him, and a long sword suddenly appeared from behind her, and the tip of the sword was aimed at his chest.

Lai Jiyun withdrew the thousand-shaped sword with his backhand, and said with a smile: "Le Gongzi, are you awake?" Le Yiyang was stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted, and said: "Come girl, get up so early to practice swords, no wonder your martial arts are so good." Lai Jiyun said: "As the saying goes, practice three dogs in summer, practice three nines in winter, we who practice martial arts, the more difficult the conditions, the more we must persevere." What's more, the weather is now the best time to practice martial arts. Le Yiyang nodded and said: "Although I don't know martial arts, I want to practice martial arts and study, and those who study are all studying hard for ten years, and they don't dare to be lazy for a moment." ”

Lai Jiyun suddenly became interested and asked, "Young Master Le, you have read so many books, when did you teach me?" Le Yiyang said modestly: "I am only shallow in my studies, I am afraid that I will delay the girl." Lai Jiyun pouted and said in a coquettish voice: "Yun'er has been very interested in poetry since she was a child, but she has never had time to read it carefully. When I met my son these days, I rekindled hope in my heart. ”

Le Yiyang thought to herself: "Since she is quite interested in books, why should I spoil her interest, it is better to agree to her." So he said, "Since the girl has proposed it, I am willing to try it in the future." Lai Jiyun turned from sadness to joy, and said softly: "It's so decided, you are not allowed to regret it." Le Yiyang smiled and said: "A gentleman's word, a whip." But it won't be until after I go to the capital. ”

Lai Jiyun waved his hand and said calmly: "Don't worry, it's good for Childe to remember that there is such a thing." Suddenly, he said, "Last night, when I was in a daze, I seemed to hear someone talking outside the house. Le Gongzi, do you hear?" "Most people who practice martial arts have such skills, even when they are asleep, they still maintain their vigilance against the things around them.

Le Yiyang told her in a nutshell about the meeting between Tuoba Jiyu and Du Chongwei last night. After listening to this, Lai Jiyun said indignantly: "One is a party nobleman, and the other is a great Jin Tai Lieutenant, who went on a date in the jungle late at night, and it was for this matter. Le Gongzi, in your opinion, will Du Chongwei help Tuoba Jiyu?" Le Yiyang said: "Listening to Du Chongwei's tone, it seems that he does not approve of Tuoba Jiyu's action this time. Lai Jiyun sighed and said, "I didn't think that Yelu Zhongying's fate was so bad, I don't know if she can escape this catastrophe." ”

Le Yiyang said: "Yelu Zhongying has many masters around her, and it is not easy for Tuoba Jiyu to openly assassinate her. As the saying goes, open guns are easy to block, but hidden arrows are difficult to prevent. Now Tuoba Jiyu is hiding in the shadows, not knowing when he will strike again. That's what worries me the most. Lai Jiyun said: "In this way, we have to set off quickly, otherwise that Khitan princess will be worried about her life, isn't it?" Le Yiyang nodded and said: "Come girl, that's exactly the case." ”
