On the way, Le Yiyang chatted about saying goodbye to Chu Yusheng. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Ji Yun said with a smile: "Chu Yusheng, that old man is deliberately teasing you, you still think he is kind!" Le Yiyang was full of doubts and asked: "Come girl, I don't understand." Please also make it clear. Lai Jiyun said: "Chu Yusheng first praised you, saying that you have good qualifications, and then let you participate in the martial arts conference, where are you embarrassed to refuse?" Le Yiyang thought about it carefully, it was true, but he thought that participating in the martial arts conference was what he said in person last night, and everyone present had witnessed it, and it could not be said that Chu Yusheng deliberately set up a trap for him to transfer in.

Seeing all his thoughts, Lai Jiyun said, "Don't worry about Young Master Le, there is still a year to go, and you can practice martial arts well." ”

Le Yiyang thought of Chu Yusheng's words of "modesty, knowledge, and etiquette", and couldn't help but be stunned, knowing that he had penetrated his identity, and said worriedly: "Come girl, I'm just a scholar, where can I do any martial arts? Practicing martial arts is a long-term process, even if I start studying now, what can I learn in a year and a half? However, a gentleman's word is difficult for a horse to chase." Come girl, even if the martial arts conference is to go up the sword mountain and down to the sea of fire, I must go. ”

Lai Jiyun saw that his expression was gloomy, so he comforted him and said, "Young Master Le, Yun'er doesn't see it that way. It is true that it takes time to accumulate martial arts, but more importantly, talent. Some people can practice peerless martial arts in three or five years, and some people only know some superficial kung fu in their lifetime. Le Yi raised his head and agreed: "What the girl said is true. There is no endless road, why should I worry about the sky here. Let's take a step and see. Lai Jiyun said with a smile: "It is best that Le Gongzi can think like this." This place is barren and wild, and I am afraid that there will be wild beasts, so we still hurry up. Le Yi said: "Okay, it's important to hurry." With that, the two rode their horses and drove quickly through the woods.

After two hours, the sun has risen to the sky, and now it is winter, the warm sun shines on the body, and the whole person looks extraordinarily energetic. After traveling more than ten miles, Le Yiyang and Lai Jiyun finally left the Silent Night Mountain Realm.

Leaving Jingye Mountain, heading east for five miles, you will see a small river winding by. The river comes from the northwest, the river is less than 20 zhang wide, and the banks are covered with thatch as tall as a person. After crossing this river, go more than 100 miles to the southeast, and you will arrive at the city of Weizhou. It was close to noon, and the river was sparsely populated. The two walked along the riverbank for several miles before they vaguely saw an open-top boat drifting with the waves on the aquatic grass near the shore.

Le Yiyang and Lai Jiyun stepped forward and found a young man napping on the side of the boat. Lai Jiyun went up and patted him on the shoulder, and asked, "Hey, are you still sailing now?" The young man was slapped by her like this, and immediately woke up, he rubbed his eyes with his hands, and replied listlessly: "Sister, if you want to cross the river, I will drive the boat." But a trip costs five pennies of silver. ”

Lai Jiyun said with a smile: "Okay, then you can get up and start the boat." Then he reached out and took the money. Clinker Le Yiyang had already handed over the silver and said, "Little brother, I'm sorry to disturb you at noon." When the young man saw that the person was so polite, he suddenly came to his senses, and said loudly: "Brother and sister, get on the boat quickly, and I will send you over." ”

Le Yiyang and Lai Jiyun were about to get on the boat, when they suddenly heard a noisy voice behind them. The two of them turned around and were taken aback, only to see more than a dozen people dressed as villagers running towards them in panic. Lai Jiyun saw that they were menacing, and subconsciously touched the thousand-shaped sword on his waist.

When they reached the shore, they all scrambled to get into the boat, and told them to hurry up. Seeing this, the young man was puzzled, put the oar on the edge of the boat, waved his hand and beckoned: "Don't worry, there are still vacant seats on the boat." ”

This group of people could not listen, and even people and luggage were crowded into the boat. Le Yiyang and Lai Jiyun glanced at each other, and asked her to get on the boat first, and she was the last to go up. When the boy saw that everyone was ready, he swung his oars and slowly glided across the calm river.

Le Yiyang carefully observed these villagers, and found that they looked panicked, and kept looking in the direction they came, so he asked curiously: "Uncles and aunts, what happened, everyone is in such a hurry to get on the boat?" One of them replied: "Childe doesn't know, there are many people who have just come from the north, these people are wearing strange clothes, riding big horses, holding sharp knives, and followed by a carriage. I once heard the old people in the village say that they are Khitans, and ten years ago they killed people in Weizhou. ”

At this moment, a young woman with a child in her arms cried out loudly: "Now that these wicked men are here again, we can only flee quickly! Pity the child in my arms, who is only more than seven months old, and she must run for her life with us." The Khitans kill people without blinking, and they don't even spare children. If they catch me, how can I explain to her father, who is on an errand in the capital. After saying that, tears rained down, and after hearing this, a boatload of people were very sad, and several middle-aged women went over to comfort her, saying: "Fortunately, we ran fast, and those Khitans didn't catch up with us." The woman sobbed and said, "Escape, escape, when will we not have to worry about the Khitans calling hundreds of miles away from the border like today." When the middle-aged women heard this, they were speechless, looked at each other, and sat back in their original positions.

As soon as the boat reached the middle of the river, it heard someone on the other side shouting to stop the boat. Lai Jiyun looked back and saw a middle-aged man waving at her over there, and behind him was a large cloud of dust raised by horses. Le Yiyang turned his head and forgot to glance at it, turned to the villagers and said, "Uncles and aunts, are you talking about those people on the shore?" These villagers saw those Khitans from a distance, and then nodded again and again, and became frightened and anxious, and hurriedly told the young man not to stop the boat, and urged him to row towards the opposite shore quickly.

When the Khitans reached the shore, they stood in a row, and kept looking at the other side. These men wore tight brown clothing, wore long, sharp knives around their waists, and wore hair ornaments on their heads that were very different from those of the Han Chinese. They searched around, and found that there was nothing to use as a means of crossing the river, except the small boat floating on the river, so they were so angry that they stamped their feet on the shore.

After a while, a carriage drawn by two white horses slowly approached, and the carriage stopped behind the group. Those Khitans hurriedly moved in both directions. A young girl in a white dress slowly stepped out of the carriage, followed by two strange-looking middle-aged men. One of them had an inch or so on each side of his forehead, and the other had a slightly more prominent nose and mouth than normal. The woman walked to the shore, and the Khitans knelt down and saluted her. The woman bowed slightly, motioned for them to get up, and walked straight to the river, her eyes looking at the boat in the river.

Le Yiyang glanced at the girl on the shore on the boat, and felt that she was surprisingly beautiful. Lai Jiyun touched her arm with his hand, and whispered: "Le Gongzi, what do you guess those Khitan people will do?" Le Yi raised his eyes, still looking at the woman, and said softly: "Come girl, where can you guess what those people are thinking." But they didn't cross the river, and the woman didn't seem to be in a hurry. It's really strange!" After hearing this, Ji Yun said with a smile: "You don't deserve to cross the river, who told them to kill so many people in the Central Plains back then." ”

That group of Khitans was originally the inner guard of the Khitan Palace, and this time they escorted the princess Yelu Zhongying to the Jin Kingdom at the behest of Emperor Yelu Deguang. Behind Yelu Zhongying are the guards in the palace, one is surnamed Lu Wanli, and the other is surnamed He. As soon as the Khitan delegation arrived in Weizhou, the villagers mistakenly thought that the Khitan army had attacked, so they packed their luggage and fled to the south overnight.

The guards were annoyed when they saw the boat getting farther and farther from shore, and one of them knelt down and said, "My subordinates are incompetent enough to let the boat escape from front of me, and ask Her Highness the Princess to atone for your sins." Yelu Zhongying smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, and did not blame anyone, but stepped forward to help him up. The guard was flattered and hurriedly took two steps back, not daring to make eye contact with Yelu Zhongying again.

Yelu Zhongying looked at the boat, shook her head helplessly, and when the boat was about to reach the opposite bank, she waved her hand and said to the two behind her: "Uncle Lu, Uncle He, please go over and ask the rowing boy to come back." ”

Lu Wanli and Crane made a promise, flew into the river, stepped on the water with both feet, and walked as if on the ground. Le Yiyang looked at the past from a distance on the boat, and couldn't help but marvel at the excellent light skills of the two of them.

As soon as the boat had landed, and before it could be established, the villagers fled in all directions in fear. The rowing boy didn't care about receiving the silver taels from the river at this moment, and immediately threw away the oars and ran out to the shore.

Lai Jiyun jumped ashore, turned around and saw that Le Yiyang was still on the boat, and hurriedly reminded: "Le Gongzi, why haven't you come ashore yet." Those two Khitans are strong in martial arts, and we are not their opponents, so it's better to avoid them at the moment. ”

Le Yiyang nodded and said, "Come girl, I'll come up ......" Before the words were finished, Lu Wanli and He Liantian were already less than three feet away from the boat. Lai Jiyun took a deep breath and said, "Watch out for your back!" hurriedly went forward to pull Le Yiyang, but he was still a step too late, and the two of them had already jumped in front of Le Yiyang, blocking his way to the shore. Lu Wanli said politely in Chinese: "Her Royal Highness Princess Yelu Zhongying of our country is on the other side, please use this boat to ferry them." Le Yiyang looked at the solemn expressions of the two, and felt a shudder in his heart.

Lai Jiyun was about to draw his sword and step forward to fight with the two, but Le Yiyang shook his head and signaled her not to take this risk for herself. Lai Jiyun stood on the shore, watching Le Yiyang rowing towards the opposite shore, so anxious that he kept walking around on the shore, thinking of a way to rescue him.

When the boat docked, the group of Khitan guards were already waiting impatiently, and stepped forward and scolded in Khitan language: "Stinky boy, what did you run just now, we won't eat you again." You asked Her Royal Highness the Princess to wait for a long time, and see how we punish you. ”

Yelu Zhongying snorted softly, and they stopped gnawing. Le Yiyang raised his head and looked at the shore, and his heart fluttered. This Khitan princess is only fifteen or sixteen years old, although she is a Hu person, she compares many Han girls. Her face is as delicate as a peach blossom, her eyes are as clear as pearls, her eyebrows are as slender as the first moon, and her hair is as beautiful as green silk. "If the shoulders are cut, if the waist is restrained", the white skirt is just below the feet, a red ribbon is tied around the waist, and a piece of jade and a short sword inlaid with gems are worn on the left and right sides.

Surrounded by many guards, Yelu Zhongying stepped onto the boat, and stood silently on the side of the boat, looking at the waves remembered by the oars. Le Yiyang stole her back while bowing down and rowing, thinking: "There is such a beautiful woman in the world, is she a fairy in the sky." ”
