When she got to the shore, Yelu Zhongying glanced at Le Yiyang, her red lips moved slightly, and she said softly: "I just offended Gongzi a little, and I ask you to forgive me." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" Le Yiyang was shocked, he didn't expect this exotic princess to know Chinese, and looked at her carefully, and saw that she was indeed dressed like a Khitan girl, so he said: "It is an honor in this life to be able to support Her Royal Highness the princess." Yelu Zhongying smiled slightly, took a bag of silver taels from the accompanying guards, handed it to him, and said, "These are the silver taels we crossed the river, please be sure to accept them." Le Yiyang hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Her Royal Highness the princess has misunderstood, this is not my ship, the owner of the ship has just escaped." ”

When Yelu Zhongying heard this, he said loudly: "Are we so terrible? Why do those people see us like cattle and sheep see tigers and wolves?" Le Yiyang didn't know how to answer, just looked at her stupidly. Yelu Zhong Yingge laughed a few times and said, "Let me ask you, are you afraid of us?" After hearing this, Yelu Zhongying smiled even brighter, and said in a coquettish voice: "It seems that Gongzi is a person who will not lie to me." Zhong Ying still has important things to do, so I hope we can meet again. ”

Le Yiyang smiled and nodded, watched her get into the carriage, and asked a guard in Khitan language, "Where are you going?" The guard rode on his horse and replied without looking back: "Our princess Her Royal Highness is going to Kaifeng to see your emperor Shi Chonggui." With that, he walked away.

Le Yiyang looked at the figure of everyone gradually leaving, and thought: "The war between the two countries is imminent, but the Khitan sent an envoy to Dajin at this time, it seems that the situation on the border has taken a turn for the better." As the old saying goes: a soldier is a sharp weapon. No one will start a war lightly unless it is absolutely necessary. ”

Le Yiyang turned around and found that Lai Jiyun was standing quietly on the side, pouting, with an angry look on his face, and asked puzzledly: "Come girl, did anyone make you angry?" Lai Jiyun heard the conversation between Le Yiyang and Yelu Zhongying clearly on the shore, and at this moment, seeing him as if nothing happened, he felt funny in his heart, and asked rhetorically: "Le Gongzi, are you afraid of me?" Le Yiyang said: "Come girl, what's wrong with you?" Lai Jiyun saw that he didn't answer, and deliberately turned around and ignored him.

Le Yiyang didn't know that Lai Jiyun was really angry with him, so he stepped forward and said, "Come girl, if there is nothing to do, let's hurry first." Lai Jiyun thought to himself: "That Khitan princess just left on her front foot, and you can't wait to chase after it, it's too obvious." He said coldly: "Yes, if you don't chase it quickly, they will go away later." ”

"They?" Le Yiyang said, "Come girl, do you mean those Khitan missions?" Lai Yun was stunned and said, "Then, they are going to Kaifeng Mansion." Le Yiyang replied honestly: "They have come to Beijing to meet His Majesty the Emperor, probably to settle the recent dispute between the two countries. Come and listen to Yun, wave his hand and say: "Since Gongzi is on the same road with those Khitans, there is no need for this girl to walk with you, so I will leave, hoping that Gongzi can make his wish come true." ”

Le Yiyang didn't understand that she was eating Yelu Zhongying's vinegar, and saw Ji Yun riding a horse along the river, so he also turned over and got on the horse. Lai Jiyun was angry, and swung the horse with a whip, the horse was originally the best horse in Youyun Villa, and was stimulated by her like this, and immediately galloped on the riverbank, and it didn't take long to throw Le Yiyang out more than ten miles away.

Le Yiyang pursued along the riverbank, and after an hour, he still did not see any trace of Lai Jiyun. The river meanders into several thin tributaries that wrap around its banks. Le Yiyang dismounted and walked, constantly looking around with his eyes, hoping to see the figure of Lai Jiyun somewhere.

He recalled what had just happened, and gradually understood why Ji Yun was so angry that he abandoned him. Is it because of Yelu Zhongying? Yes, it must be her. However, Lai Jiyun was born pure and handsome, and she is already a rare beautiful woman in the world, will she still be jealous of Yelu Zhongying's beauty? As she walked, Le Yiyang suddenly became verbose and shouted: "Damn, why didn't I think earlier, the girl was eating Yelu Zhongying's vinegar." ”

Since the first meeting of Youyun Villa, the two have been together for nearly a month. In the past month, Lai Jiyun has been thinking about Le Yiyang everywhere, and he is even willing to fight for him and the master of the Pingshan faction, but he himself has not noticed this subtle relationship between men and women. It wasn't until Ji Yun ran away this time that Le Yiyang finally figured it out. Le Yiyang looked at the way he came, and thought, "The girl who came didn't want to go with me was afraid that I would like Yelu Zhongying." But Yelu Zhongying is the princess of the Khitan, and the two countries are fighting between the two countries, and they don't even dare to think about this kind of thing now. ”

Le Yiyang turned over his horse and ran back the way he came, and when he arrived at the place where he had just crossed the river, he saw that the boat was still floating quietly on the river, so he concluded that Ji Yun did not go back to the direction. He turned his horse's head and headed southeast.

After three more hours, he came to an unknown mountain. There was no official road here, so Le Yiyang led the horse and walked four or five miles inside, and found a horse under a hillside. The horse was the mount of Lai Jiyun, and he was quietly eating the weeds, completely unaware of Le Yiyang's arrival. Le Yiyang tied his horse to a tree, took his luggage and went around to look for Ji Yun.

Le Yiyang found a line of footprints on the ground, followed the footprints up the hillside, and found a figure hiding in the grass. He crept over and was about to approach the man, when he suddenly turned around and stabbed his sword into his chest. Le Yiyang saw that it was Ji Yun, and shouted happily: "Come girl......" As soon as he said these words, Ji Yun signaled him not to shout loudly, then withdrew his sword and whispered: "Le Gongzi, come over and see, I have made a new discovery." ”

Le Yiyang walked over, crouched among the grass, and looked at the opposite mountain, only to see two groups of people fighting, one of them was the Khitan guard who protected Yelu Zhongying, but the other party didn't know who it was. I saw a burst of swords and sword shadows, the Khitan guards were unscathed, and the more they killed, the more energetic they became, while the other side was beaten like flowing water and falling flowers, and kept fleeing, leaving only three or four corpses. Le Yiyang thought to himself, "Could it be that they have met a bandit?"

At this time, I only heard a Khitan guard at the foot of the mountain scolding: "Shi Chonggui usually advocates governing the country in a proper way, but I didn't expect that the rivers and lakes are in chaos, and in broad daylight, he actually does evil! However, these bandits are really hateful, they are so bold that even Her Royal Highness the princess wants to rob, and I must teach them a good lesson today, so that they know that my Khitan guards are powerful. ”

The Khitan guards raised their sharp knives one by one, ready to look for those bandits again, but were stopped by Yelu Zhongying in the carriage. Due to the distance from the Khitan mission, Le Yiyang and Lai Jiyun could not hear Yelu Zhongying's conversation clearly. I saw that these Khitan guards dug a big pit and buried the three or four bandits they had just killed, and the team went on the road again.

When the Khitan mission walked away, Le Yiyang and Lai Jiyun got up from the grass. Lai Jiyun saw that Le Yiyang was reluctant to give up and chased all the way, and at this time his anger had disappeared for the most part, and asked: "Le Gongzi, what did those Khitan people say just now?" It seems that the woman on the boat has a point, they are all demons who kill people without blinking. Le Yiyang was puzzled: "It's hard to conclude now, let's go down and take a look." Lai Jiyun nodded, and the two walked slowly down the hillside.

Le Yiyang stood in front of the mound and said to Lai Jiyun: "Come girl, do you mind if I dig up the body and take a look." Lai Jiyun said: "Please, this girl has not seen dead people." Le Yiyang tossed the mound of dirt with his hand, revealing a human head with a mask on it. Lai Jiyun was very curious, walked over to uncover the bandit's mask, and found that the person was not a Han from the Central Plains. Le Yiyang looked at the head carefully, and suddenly realized: "Come girl, after thinking about it, these people are not ordinary bandits, but assassins sent by the party. ”

Lai Jiyun asked: "Le Gongzi, how do you know that they are party members?" Le Yiyang pointed to the person and said: "I grew up on the Taiyuan border, hundreds of miles west of Taiyuan, which is the territory of the party people, called the Dingyan Army. Li Yiyin, the leader of the party, was friendly with us in the Jin Kingdom, and was named the envoy of Xia Guogong for the Dingyan Army. Occasionally, the party members come to the border to do business, and they are all bald, with big ears and wide eyes. Although this person has long hair, it is still very different from us Han Chinese. Lai Jiyun said: "I see, but why did the party send someone to assassinate the Khitan princess?"

Le Yiyang said: "The party is really ill-intentioned. At present, the armies of the Khitan and the Great Jin are facing off on the border, and if the Khitan princess dies in the Jin Kingdom, we will be unable to argue, and the consequences will be unimaginable. Although the Khitan princess is protected by a large number of people, although she is a weak woman after all, the party assassins are everywhere, and the Khitan guards are invincible. Lai Jiyun asked puzzledly: "Yun'er doesn't quite understand, isn't the party very friendly with us? ”

Le Yiyang remembered the incident of Liu Zhiyuan, the king of Beiping, who was in danger a month ago, and said: "The party has always been fickle, and it depends on whoever is strong. Since the end of the Tang Dynasty, the party has always been a vassal to the emperor of the Central Plains, and now it has gone through four dynasties. The Khitan gradually rose, the Central Plains Dynasty was crumbling, and the party's disobedience was becoming more and more obvious. Lai Jiyun gasped and asked, "Young Master Le, what should we do next?" Le Yi said confidently: "Come girl, we are just going to Kaifeng Mansion, it is better to secretly follow the Khitan mission and act at the opportunity." Although Lai Jiyun didn't have a good impression of Yelu Zhongying, he felt that Leyi's threats were reasonable, so he had to agree silently.

The two buried the partisan assassin and got up and climbed over the hill to return to the place where they had tied their horses, but did not find their mount. Le Yiyang searched around carefully, only to find two bloody horse skins and some horse bones eaten by wild beasts in a bush. Lai Jiyun ran over, saw this scene, his heart was sour, he threw himself on Le Yiyang's shoulder, and cried loudly. Le Yiyang comforted: "Come girl, the matter has come to this, please mourn." In this barren mountain range, there are fierce beasts from time to time, and they are also negligent below. ”

Lai Jiyun suddenly pulled out the thousand-shaped sword, looked around, and said, "Young Master Le, you can't stay here for a long time, let's get out of the mountain as soon as possible." Le Yiyang walked over and held her hand, returned the sword to its scabbard, and said, "Come girl, now that we have no horses, we have to be companions." Lai Jiyun said: "That's fine, I don't dare to leave you willfully." ”

Le Yiyang walked a few steps, suddenly stopped, and turned back to pick up the two horses on the ground. Lai Jiyun saw that he was acting strangely, and asked curiously: "Those two horse skins are very bloody, what is the use of Gongzi wanting them." Le Yiyang said: "It is early winter, and it is gradually freezing at night, and these horse skins can be used as clothes and quilts temporarily." Lai Jiyun smiled silently, and the two of them went east to Wuli Road, and the sky darkened. Lai Jiyun swung his sword to cut down a dead tree, took out the fire from his arms and lit it, and continued to move forward with a torch.
