Xiao Cuixin shouted in Khitan dialect: "Wait, do you know who I am?" As soon as the words fell, he took out the gold medal given to him by Yelu Deguang from his waist. When those Khitan soldiers saw the gold medal, they were taken aback and hurriedly put down their bows and arrows.

The Khitan general thought that the soldiers were bewitched, and stepped forward and shouted: "What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and release the arrows!" The soldiers were still indifferent. Xiao Cuixin raised the token and said, "I am the emperor's niece, the sister of the former battalion commander Yelu Ruan. Who of you dares to act rashly!" The gold medal in Xiao Cuixin's hand is only available to the crown prince Yelu Jing and the princess Yelu Zhongying. There are more than 100 county lords in the Khitan, and Yelu Deguang only gave Xiao Cuixin a gold medal, which shows her high status in the royal family.

The Khitan general and Xiao Cuixin were close at hand, and at this time, they looked at it and found that the gold medal in her hand was real, and then their feet were so frightened that they quickly bowed down and said: "I don't know that the county lord is coming, and his subordinates are not far away." Fang Cai's words are so offensive, and I hope that the county lord will atone for his sins!" Those Khitan soldiers listened to the words of the commander, and they all knelt down and said, "Please also ask the county lord to be gracious!"

Xiao Cuixin put the gold medal away, and then said, "Fortunately, you recognize this gold medal, otherwise I, the county lord, would have died in your hands." Okay, you guys can get even!" After the Khitan general got up, he trembled and said: "Thank you to the county lord for not being guilty in the past, and his subordinates will definitely serve the county lord!" Xiao Cui made a face and said deliberately: "Don't thank me first." The lord of this county can let you go, but it is difficult to guarantee that the emperor will not punish you! If you want to calm things down, you have to promise me three things. ”

At this time, the Khitan general's heart was like a huge wave rolling, and he said cautiously: "County Lord, what are the three things? Xiao Cuixin saw that this person had already taken the bait, so she said softly: "Listen up." First, bury the bodies of the victims as soon as possible, second, be sure to give preferential treatment to Shi Zhonggui and his party, and third, never expose the whereabouts of the county lord. The Khitan general nodded again and again, and when the county lord finished speaking, he immediately arranged for someone to do it.

Le Yiyang walked over and asked curiously, "Sister Xiao, what did you say to the Khitan general to make him bow down so much." Xiao Cui told Le Yiyang truthfully, then made a grimace and said, "Brother Yang, I was originally a Khitan, but I helped you Jin people. If my uncle and brother had known, they would have to blame me again. After speaking, he smiled happily, forgot his identity as the county lord, and became an innocent girl again.

After burying the body, the Khitan soldiers set off. Guo Rong looked at the disappearing figure, and said to himself: "Your Majesty, Guo Rong didn't do a good job and couldn't save you." Say goodbye today, I don't know when we will see each other. ”

Le Yiyang walked behind him and comforted: "Lord Guo, life and death are fateful, don't force it." Xiao Mei has already instructed the Khitan general that the emperor will not suffer any more accidents. Guo Rong sighed and said, "I hope so." ”

Guo Rong turned to look at Xiao Cuixin, and said after a while: "Miss Xiao, I didn't expect you to be the Khitan County Lord. Thanks to the rescue today, Guo is grateful!" Xiao Cuixin bowed slightly, and said embarrassedly: "Lord Guo is serious. If you want to thank Brother Yang, thank you. If he hadn't come to your aid, I wouldn't have come with me. Guo Rong nodded and said, "Miss Xiao is reasonable. ”

While listening to the conversation between the two, Le Yiyang looked around and asked in surprise: "Why didn't you see Brother Mei and his wife?" Guo Rong's heart was sour, and he raised his head and said: "Young Master Le, I can't hide it, the accompanying royal forest guards, plus Mei Jiutong and his wife, except for me, were all martyred. He pointed to the cliff and said: "Mei Jiutong and his wife, as well as Du Chi Gongzi, have all fallen to the bottom of the cliff, and I am afraid that there are no bones left!"

Le Yiyang's mind was blank, and he could barely stand still. Xiao Cuixin heard the words "no bones remained", and immediately fainted. Seeing this, Le Yiyang hurriedly took a deep breath, grabbed her waist with his hand, and helped her up.

After half a pillar of incense, Xiao Cuixin woke up. She opened her eyes, and asked in the first sentence: "Brother Yang, Sister Zhai, are they really dead?" Le Yiyang comforted: "Sister Xiao, don't worry first, as long as you don't see the corpse, Brother Mei and the others will have a glimmer of life." Xiao Cuixin slowly got up, walked to the edge of the mountain road, looked at the deep cliff, shook her head and said, "Such a high cliff, how can the physical body be spared?" But she still had a trace of luck, and she had to go down to find it herself.

Le Yiyang understands the pain in his fiancée's heart, after all, she and Zhai Jingyue have been together day and night for more than ten years, and the two have long been like sisters.

Guo Rong had an arrow wound in his body, and after a fierce battle, he was now exhausted, so he said: "Le Gongzi, Miss Xiao, I'm sorry, Guo is not in good health, and it is inconvenient to go together, please forgive me." Le Yiyang said: "Lord Guo is outside." You have been seriously injured and you should take good care of your wounds. This is a wilderness, so it is better to stay in a humble house for a few days. The humble house is next door to Brother Mei's house, and you can reach it soon when you drop back. ”

Guo Rong remembered the scene at Mei Jiutong's house that day, and stopped again and again and said: "Master Mei has been killed by me, what kind of face does Guo have to heal again." Then he walked into the woods and pulled out a horse.

Seeing that he was still weak, Le Yiyang said with concern: "Lord Guo, your arrow wound is very serious, and you can't travel long distances. Guo Rong made up his mind and said: "The Central Plains has been occupied by the Khitan, and I, Guo Rong, can't stay." Today, only Hedong still has a place in the Jin Kingdom, and it just so happens that my father served in the army of the king of Beiping. I'll go to Taiyuan Mansion in Hedong. "Guo Rong's adoptive father's name is Guo Wei, and he is the confidant general of Liu Zhiyuan, the envoy of Hedong Jiedu. Guo Rong went this time precisely to persuade Liu Zhiyuan to send troops to restore the Jin Kingdom.

Le Yiyang saw that he was going to Taiyuan to seek refuge with his relatives, so he no longer stopped him, and remembered his friend Linghu Cheng in his heart, so he said: "Lord Guo, there is something to entrust you below, please fulfill it." After speaking, he reached into his arms and touched it for a while, but he didn't find anything, and he couldn't help frowning. Guo Rong waited for a moment on the horse and asked, "Le Gongzi, what are you looking for?" Le Yiyang shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "My friend Linghucheng is in the Taiyuan Army, I originally wanted you to bring him a letter for me, but the written letter was gone." ”

Guo Rong said: "Don't worry, I have written down his name, if you happen to meet him this time, I will definitely convey your thoughts about him." Le Yiyang arched his hand and said, "This will trouble Lord Guo!" Guo Rong nodded, said "There will be a period later", and waved the horsewhip to drive away.
