Chapter 242: The Emperor Gives Marriage
The girl suddenly committed suicide, completely unexpectedly. His heart was pounding. Le Yiyang wanted to use his luck to help, but when he saw that the girl's face had turned pale, and the blood on her body had almost flowed out, she was stupidly fixed there. The woman still had a breath to live, and said weakly: "If the prince dares to leave quickly, the Liao soldiers will come soon!"
Le Yiyang didn't care whether the Liao soldiers came back or not, but said sadly: "Why should the girl be like this? Is chastity more important than life?" The girl said dismally: "The son is not a daughter, of course he doesn't understand my pain. Le Yiyang couldn't help but be dumbfounded after hearing this, he looked around, and saw the Liao soldiers lying on the ground, none of them managed to escape, and said abruptly: "Girl, you have been wronged along the way." These Liao soldiers are all buried under my sword, you can go on the road with peace of mind!"
The girl smiled slightly, her face was slightly soothed, and finally she remained motionless.
After the woman died, Le Yiyang was at a loss. After a long time, he came to his senses, and thought that the dead had been buried in the earth, so he dug a grave in the grass by the roadside with stones, picked up the girl gently, and then walked slowly to the tomb, and buried her alive.
The sun is shining in the suburbs of Kaifeng at the end of spring, and the wind blows through the flowers and plants, exuding bursts of fragrance. The road was littered with corpses, and the smell of blood permeated the air everywhere after the wind blew. Wild dogs have arrived at some point, and are recklessly biting at the dead.
Not long after, a pair of cavalry came galloping from the direction of the city. When those Liao soldiers saw the corpses on the ground, their faces were shocked, and they hurriedly opened their bows and shot arrows to drive those wild dogs away. The cavalry turned over and dismounted, muttered and discussed, put the dead soldiers on their horses, burned the corpses of the people with fire, and turned around and went back to Kaifeng City to report the news.
Seeing that those people were about to go away, Le Yiyang didn't have time to think, so he jumped out of the grass and captured a Liao soldier who was walking behind. Although the man didn't know where he came from, he vaguely felt that it was related to the death of his companion, and he was so shocked that he didn't dare to come out.
I thought that this person would shout for help, but when I saw that he was silent, I was relieved. He put the Qingyun sword across the man's chest and asked in a low voice, "You have already occupied the Central Plains, why do you treat the people of the Jin Kingdom like this?" The man seemed to understand this sentence, and said in Chinese, which was not fluent: "Chivalry, please spare your life." This is General Xiao Han's order, and the little ones can only follow it. If you disobey the military order, the lives of the little ones will also be in danger. ”
Le Yiyang has heard of Xiao Han. The Liao soldiers went south to attack Jin, and it was this Xiao Han who was the striker. It was only later, in order to avenge his younger brother Xiao Bu, that he wantonly burned and looted along the way, which delayed the march and allowed Yelu Ruan to take the lead and attack Kaifeng, the capital of the Jin Kingdom.
As soon as the man finished speaking, Le Yiyang said: "Can Yelu Ruan participate in the fight against the grass valley?" The soldier was full of doubts, not knowing what the other party had to do with Yelu Ruan, and replied cautiously: "The emperor has asked the prince to lead the army of the former battalion back to the north, and now only General Xiao Han is stationed in Kaifeng. The prince was not able to come to the scene to cheer for the soldiers!" The Liao soldier said this, and he actually showed a look of regret.
Yelu Ruan is Xiao Cuixin's own brother, if he leads his troops to slaughter the people, Le Yiyang will definitely not stand idly by. At this time, hearing that Yelu Ruan had moved away from the Central Plains, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Did you Xiao County Lord go back with Yelu Ruan?"
The man was stunned for a moment, looked at the other party in surprise, and said after a while: "Who are you?" Le Yiyang moved the Qingyun Sword forward slightly, and said in a positive voice: "Just answer my question, don't ask so much! Are you Xiao County Lord in Kaifeng or not?" The Liao soldier shrugged his shoulders and said: "Chivalry, please calm your anger! If martial arts are banned today, chivalrous warriors dare to risk their lives and come to Kaifeng alone, which shows that you are not an ordinary person." To tell the truth, Lord Xiao should have been with the prince. But when he came to Kaifeng that day, the prince had already left the city for half a month, so naturally he couldn't catch up. The emperor left her to live in the Warm Fang Palace. ”
When Le Yiyang heard the words "Warm Fang Palace", he faintly felt that something was wrong with it. Xiao Cuixin is just a county lord, and it stands to reason that she should live outside the palace.
The man couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw the worried look in the other party's eyes. He knew a lot about the situation in the palace, and in order to survive, he had to tell everything he knew.
That day, Xiao Cuixin arrived in Kaifeng, and happened to meet Lu Zhicheng who was looking around. Lu Zhicheng has long been greedy for her beauty, and wants to realize his ambitions with the help of the Liao people, so he presented a complete heirloom gold silk to the Liao lord. Yelu Deguang was overjoyed and immediately praised Lu Zhicheng. Lu Zhicheng does not seek fame and fortune, but only wants to marry the county lord Xiao Cuixin. Yelu Deguang looked embarrassed at first, but thinking that the terrain of the treasure hiding place was steep and guarded by peerless masters, if he didn't follow Lu Zhicheng, these countless treasures would not be his own, and finally agreed to his request.
When the news reached Xiao Cui's heart, she almost fainted on the spot. Although Xiao Cuixin grew up in a green building, she is still a dusty girl and will never turn her back on her beloved.
Yelu Deguang sent a message to inform Yelu Ruan, and on the other hand, he personally went to the Nuanfang Temple to persuade him. He loved this niece on the surface, but when he thought of the treasure of the Silent Valley, he immediately revealed his true form, but he still said hypocritically: "Good boy, Lu Zhicheng is a rare genius in the world, and you can rest assured that you are with her." Don't think about it anymore. If it weren't for his lack of martial arts, how could he have died in the canyon?"
Xiao Cuixin heard him mention his sweetheart, tears kept flowing out, and he deliberately said: "Uncle Huang has ordered the world to ban martial arts, no matter how good Lu Gongzi's martial arts are, how can they be useful?" Yelu Deguang shook his head and said loudly: "The world's forbidden martial arts are used to subdue the Han people." Lu Zhicheng has contributed to Da Liao, if he is not appeased, there will be a few people who are willing to be loyal to Da Liao. Xin'er, as the county lord, you should share your worries for the emperor's uncle. I have already sent someone to inform Yelu Ruan, and I am sure that your brother will agree to such an arrangement. ”
After Yelu Deguang finished speaking, he asked Lu Zhicheng to leave the dowry, and then waved away. Yelu Ruan was far away in Shangjing, and even if he was dissatisfied, he did not dare to disobey the emperor's will. Yelu Deguang thought carefully all the way, and his heart was quite proud.
By this time it was nearly dusk, the sun was fading, and as usual, the mountains outside the Warm Fang Hall had become green. In the corner of the sea of clouds, there were also bursts of glow. Slowly, the glow spreads out, burning the sky into a sea of fire. Xiao Cui's heart was almost desperate, she looked at this scene, stared at it for a moment, and then said to herself: "Xiaguang, you are so gorgeous, you know that my heart is like ashes." ”
