Chapter 167: The Tree Vine Maze
Yelu Ruan sat beside Xiao Cuixin, looked at her quietly, and then glanced at Cha Muhe behind him, and his thoughts flew back to that night fifteen years ago. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
At that time, Yelu Bei suffered from the suspicion of Yelu Deguang, who was the Khitan emperor, and his mother Shu Luping and younger brother Yelu Lihu were biased towards Yelu Deguang. Yelubei sat on pins and needles every day, fearing that he would lose his life sooner or later, so he took the risk of fleeing to the Later Tang Dynasty.
Around Yelube's palace, a team of soldiers was stationed to monitor him, and the leading general was Chamuha's father. Yelubei has always been kind to people, and Chamuhe's father was deeply touched, and he always turned a blind eye to Yelubei's behavior. Over time, the two became good brothers.
Chamuha's father was very sympathetic to Yelubei's plight and believed that the position of emperor should belong to him. Whenever Jerubel heard this, he signaled him not to talk about it freely. There was a servant in Yelubei's house who brought tea and poured water, which was the eyeliner of Yelu Deguang, and he saw the two together every day, speculating that they were plotting to take the throne, so he hurriedly entered the palace to report to Yelu Deguang.
When Jerubi noticed that the man had disappeared out of thin air, his heart immediately became alert, and he thought that if he did not escape, he would inevitably die. He woke up his sleeping wife and daughter, and asked him to go to Yelu Ruan's room, packed his belongings, and called Chamuhe's father into the mansion and urged him to go with him to the Later Tang Dynasty.
Chamuhe's father couldn't rest assured of his wife and son, and finally decided to stay.
Yelu Ruan also did not want to leave the palace in Shangjing, and said: "Father, as a Khitan prince, the child will only lead troops into the enemy's territory, and will never flee from the Khitan. ”
Jerebe had no choice but to leave with his wife and daughter, who had just completed the moon. Yelu Ruan chased out the door, looked at his parents reluctantly, and gently stroked his little sister's face, thinking in his heart: "Today, our brother and sister are separated, and I don't know when we will meet again." ”
Fearing that the emperor's guards would come to intercept him, Chamuhe's father hurriedly led his troops to stop in front of the palace and let Yelubei leave safely in a carriage.
On the second day, Yelu Deguang summoned Yelu Bei to attack and wanted to question him in front of his ministers.
Chamuhe's father lightly told what happened last night. When Yelu Deguang heard this, he was furious, and sent Chamuhe's father to the prison, and asked the guards to immediately search Yelubei's house.
When the guards came back in a huff, Yelude's mind was completely clouded, and then he remembered to let the Khitan soldiers in Yingzhou intercept him. Yelubei used a lot of money at the border pass, bought off the soldiers who collected the customs, and successfully entered Hengzhou in the territory of the Later Tang Dynasty.
Later, everything came to light, and all those who participated in Jerube's escape were put to death. Yelu Deguang has always loved talents, and Chamuhe's father was extremely brave, and he could have been exempted from capital crimes. But this matter is very important, and the Queen Mother Shu Luping personally inquired about it.
Shu Luping and Yelu Abaoji are married husband and wife, and the two are loving and loving to their three sons. After Yelu Abaoji's death, Shu Luping put his mind on his son. She personally ordered that Jerod Light should not be allowed to do fratricidal acts.
Now that Yelubei has left the Khitan, Shu Luping is thousands of miles away from him, and he is naturally quite angry in his heart. Yelu Ruan is the grandson of Shu Lu Ping's lineage, and she did not add up the blades, but still let Yelu Deguang attack him and crown him as the king of Dongdan. Chamuhe's father didn't have such good luck. Shu Luping blamed all his son's departure on his head, and before he could be interrogated, he asked Yerod to order him to be executed.
When Chamuhe later learned about this, he always had a grudge against Shu Luping, and at the same time regretted his father, thinking that he should follow Yelu Bei to Hou Tang.
Yelu Ruan was thinking about it when he suddenly felt something touch the soles of his feet. He looked to the ground and saw a branch coming out of the ground.
Chamuhe also found the branch, and hurriedly took out a big knife and cut it in two with one sword. The branch seemed to have an aura, but after a while, more than a dozen branches grew around it, and there were vines several feet long wrapped around it. Cha Muhe was stunned in his heart, and hurriedly raised his knife to protect Yelu Ruan. Yelu Ruan felt that this matter was quite strange, he didn't wait to think about it, he bowed down and picked up Xiao Cuixin, and moved in the direction he came.
The branches grew very quickly, but after a while, several people were surrounded. Chamuhe waved his knife and cut off several tree vines, but saw that the tree vines rose again. He slashed with a knife on the one hand, and shouted at Xiao Yejin on the other: "Brother Xiao, don't be in a daze, come and help, otherwise we will all be hanged by the vines later." ”
Yelu Ruan's heart was in a mess, and he asked loudly: "Yejin, can you come up with a way to deal with it?" Xiao Yejin shook his head and said, "Lord Wang, I have grown so big, this is the first time I have encountered this kind of thing. With that, he swung his knife and cut off several vines.
The branches gathered the four of them together, and the vines continued to stick out inside. Chamuhe took a deep breath, put his hand into the vine wall, gritted his teeth and pulled outward, and the vine wall was immediately opened a small hole in the foot.
Yelu Ruan was overjoyed and said, "Muhe, if you use a little more strength, we will be able to go out." ”
Chamuhe didn't speak, and cold sweat kept flowing down his forehead. Seeing this, Xiao Yejin asked, "Brother Cha, what's wrong with you?" Cha Muhe said with difficulty: "Brother Xiao, my hand sneaked into the vine and couldn't pull it out. ”
Xiao Yejin was taken aback, and when he looked closer, he saw that Cha Muhe's hands were tightly wrapped around Shu Teng. He had an idea, and hurriedly used his knife to draw a circle around the vine wall. The vines had lost their support and all slipped to the ground.
Chamuhe hurriedly retracted his hand, and with the help of the faint moonlight, he found that he had several deep strangulation marks on his wrists. He was horrified in his heart, thinking that if Xiao Yejin made a little late, his hands would probably be wasted.
Seeing this scene, Yelu Ruan thought that he might not be able to get out of this strange circle, so he woke up the little sister he was holding. Xiao Cuixin slowly opened her eyes and found that Yelu Ruan was holding herself, and said in a panic, "What are you doing?" ”
Yelu Ruan let go of his hand, let Xiao Cuixin stand still, and explained: "Little sister, my brother found that you were trapped in this tree and vine formation, so he came in with the two brothers Cha and Xiao to take you out. ”
Xiao Cuixin glanced around, and immediately understood that Yelu Ruan was not lying, but still said deliberately: "I won't worry if I can get out, or if I can't get out." You are a daughter, a dignified Khitan prince, of course you have to think about yourself. ”
Yelu Ruan felt very uncomfortable after hearing this, and said, "Little sister, are you still complaining about the fact that I didn't go to Houtang with you back then?"
Xiao Cuixin turned her face to the side and said coldly: "Whether I said anything wrong or not, you should know it in your own heart." (To be continued.) )
