Dugu Duan seemed to see Xiao Lian's worries, and said with a smile: "Don't worry! I'm just going to meet my father-in-law, and he will definitely agree to our family affairs!"

Xiao Lian leaned on Dugu Duan's arms, quietly looked at his handsome and evil face, nodded slightly, and decided in her heart that if her father wanted to kill him, it would be a big deal to die with him.

"Drive!"

Dugu snorted softly, and the brown and yellow horse's hooves tossed and left.

Bazhou is one of the sixteen states of Yanyun, which belongs to the border pass of Daliao, and further on is the Song land. In the past, the Liao and Song dynasties fought for many years, and whenever there was a war, Bazhou bore the brunt. In recent years, although there have been constant frictions, the two countries of Liao and Song have signed a peace negotiation alliance because of the 'Lanyuan Alliance', and the two sides have exercised restraint and there has been no major war.

The feet of the brown and yellow horses are extremely fast, but in half a day, the city wall of Bazhou has already faintly appeared. Yelu Hongji was afraid that he would not be able to catch up with Jelu Sage when it was too late, so he specially selected a few thousands of horses to be assigned to the heralds, but now it is cheaper and Duguduan.

At dusk, Dugu Duan finally arrived in Bazhou City, because the herald who reported the news had been truncated by Dugu Duan, so although the soldiers guarding the city saw that the girl was very beautiful, they didn't know that her identity could scare people to death.

When he entered the city, Dugu did not stop, and went straight to the south gate, but he wanted to leave the city. Xiao Lian was surprised, didn't Dugu have to wait for his father in Bazhou?

Soon out of Bazhou City, Xiao Lian couldn't help but ask, "Aren't we waiting for our father in Bazhou anymore?"

Dugu touched Xiao Lian's smooth hair and sighed: "Of course I have to wait, but I am waiting for myself." ”

Xiao Lian was stunned for a moment, vaguely understood the meaning of Duguduan, and her face was pale. Said anxiously: "What are you going to do?"

Dugu Duan looked at Xiao Lian gently, and said with a smile: "Of course, I will send you to Song Kingdom." Otherwise how would I be reassured. ”

"I'm not leaving!"

Xiao Lianmei stared at Dugu Duan tightly, and said word by word: "I want to die together!"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Dugu Duan's heart was moved beyond measure. Seeing Xiao Lian's determined look, she said with a smile: "Don't worry, you forgot that I have a 'Kunlun Mirror', and when I see my father-in-law, I will go to you." ”

Xiao Lian was speechless, although she understood the meaning of Duguduan, she still couldn't believe it, after all, the 'Kunlun Mirror' and other earth-shattering artifacts were really incomprehensible to ordinary people.

"Don't think about it, just be obedient!"

Dugu Duan touched Xiao Lian's smooth and round little face. Riding a horse and whipping, he rushed to the Song Kingdom at great speed, wearing stars and moons all the way, and finally arrived at the 'Waqiao Pass' in the early morning.

This pass is located in the southwest of Xiongxian County, Hebei Province, the north of Baiyangdian Lake in Hebei Province, the south of Juma River, according to the lower reaches of the ancient nine rivers, the rivers and lakes are connected, and the waterway transportation is convenient. From 'Waqiao Pass' to the west. It can go to Baoding, an important town in Hebei, and enter the sea along the Daqing River in the lower reaches of the Juma River in the east, connect Youzhou, a military town in northern Hebei in the north, and connect the important towns in central Hebei in the south. The status is important.

Due to the low-lying terrain around "Waqiaoguan", there are saline-alkali ground of rivers and lakes everywhere, and the residents are sparse. It is easy to be taken advantage of by the enemy, and it is dangerous here. Good for defense. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Khitan in the northeast had become increasingly powerful. The Khitan repeatedly committed crimes in the south. So there are wars from time to time. In the fifth dynasty, the Khitan expanded fiercely, and the Waqiao Pass was even more war-torious. In the second year of Tongguang in the Later Tang Dynasty, the Khitan brazenly invaded the south, invaded Waqiao Pass, and did not return to the army. Later, Shi Jingjiao begged soldiers in the Khitan, destroyed the Later Tang Dynasty, established the Later Jin Dynasty, ceded the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun to the Khitan, and Waqiao Pass was owned by the Khitan.

Later Zhou Shizong was heroic and martial, and had the ambition to level the day, and used troops against the Khitan. In the sixth year of Xiande, Sejong personally led the army to attack Liao, and recovered the three passes of Ying, Mo Erzhou and "Waqiao" in the sixteen states of Yanyun, so the "three passes" began to be the border in the south. Until the establishment of the Northern Song Dynasty, the national strength was not strong, and it did not take a step forward on the national border in this area, only took a defensive position, and the three passes such as Waqiao became the northern frontier of the Northern Song Dynasty.

And the guard of this Waqiao Pass in the past was Yang Yanzhao, the top famous general of the Northern Song Dynasty, that is, Yang Liulang.

Liulang guarded Waqiao Pass for 16 years, and in the face of the offensive of the powerful cavalry of the Liao State, he repeatedly won surprises, won more with less, and defended the stability of the border pass.

The Liao people believe that the sixth of the Big Dipper, the north of Youyan, is their nemesis, and the Liao people regard Yang Yanzhao as the general star in the sky, so they call Yang Liulang. He has been fighting with Yang Ye since he was a child, and the Northern Expedition of Yongxi for three years shocked the border court.

In the early morning, a brown and yellow horse in the distance went straight to the 'Waqiao Pass', and soon walked to the front of the gate, at this time the gate was just opened, the pedestrians were scarce, only some border merchants, and the soldiers guarding the city stood listlessly aside.

The Liao and Song dynasties have been quiet for many years, and the Song State has gradually relaxed its vigilance, singing and dancing every day, as the saying goes, the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, these soldiers can no longer be compared with when Yang Liulang guarded the border pass.

However, this also made Dugu less troublesome, he traveled all the way, covering his hair with a felt hat, he just didn't want to cause trouble, after all, he had to send Xiao Lian to Song Land safely, so that he could no longer have worries, whether it was going up the mountain to fight the tiger, or going down to the sea to catch the dragon, he was fearless.

After passing the Waqiao Pass, after traveling more than ten miles to Xiongxian County, Dugu breathed a sigh of relief, and finally arrived at the boundary of the Song Kingdom, he and Xiao Lian got off the horse and found a restaurant, and began to have breakfast.

After eating, Dugu Duan asked Xiao Lian to wait for him, and then came to a blacksmith shop alone, and asked the store to build him an iron pestle, which the store should have readily agreed, but the iron pestle that Dugu Duan wanted to build was too amazing, and it was one zhang long, which exceeded the height of an adult man.

If this is not amazing, what is even more amazing is that Dugu Duan actually wants to be solid, if such a child's wrist-thick iron chisel is solid, it will cost dozens of catties, even if someone can pick it up, it will definitely not move.

However, seeing the gold leaf in Dugu Duan's hand, the store still agreed, and no matter what Dugu Duan was going to do, it was just an iron chisel anyway, even if it was scary and scary, but it was still an iron chisel, and he immediately made every effort to build it for him according to what Dugu Duan said.

Dugu broke out of the blacksmith shop, and went to the tailor shop again, wanting to customize a flag, but encountered obstacles, no matter how much money Dugu took out, the store did not dare to do it, after all, the flag is not something that can be done casually, it is going to lose his head.

Dugu was helpless, so he had to take some measures, when the store saw the handprint on the table, and finally understood that if he did it, he would lose his head in the future, and if he didn't do it, he would lose his head now, under this difficult choice, the store still chose the former.

Dugu left satisfied, and didn't look at the bitter gourd face of the store behind him, and finally came to the ready-to-wear shop, wanting to change into a black robe, but no one expected it, so he had no choice but to return to the tailor shop and customize a black robe.

After finishing the work, he joined Xiao Lian and rode a brown and yellow horse to carry her further into the Song Land.

Xiao Lian was stunned, she didn't understand what Dugu Duan wanted to do, but Dugu Duan looked serious and didn't want to say more, and Xiao Lian didn't dare to ask more.

The two were silent, and arrived in Mozhou in the middle of the night, when the city gate was already closed, although he could sneak into Mozhou City with Xiao Lian, but the brown and yellow horses could not be brought in.

Dugu still needs this fast horse tomorrow, so he had to rest with Xiao Lian for one night in a deserted outskirts.

At this time, there was silence all around, and Dugu looked up at the bright moon in the sky, silent, as if thinking about something.

Xiao Lian lay quietly in Dugu Duan's arms, and murmured, "Brother Duan, if my father doesn't agree to our family affairs, what do you want to do?"

Dugu was stunned for a moment, hugged Xiao Lian in his arms, a hint of color flashed in his eyes, and said with a smile: "He will definitely agree." ”

Xiao Lian suddenly raised her head, gritted her teeth, stared at Dugu Duan for a long time, seemed to have made up her mind, and said softly: "Brother Duan, don't go to see your father, you take me away! We will never come back, okay?" When she said 'okay', Xiao Lian had already used a pleading tone, although she didn't know what Dugu Duan wanted to do, but she didn't want to see her husband and her father arguing, which of the two people lost, it was not something she could accept.

Xiao Lian had already made up her mind to elope with Dugu, the world is big, there will always be a hiding place for the two, and she will never return to Liao at that time, and her father will not be able to find her, so naturally there will be no trouble.

It's just that she can't see her mother anymore, and when she thinks of this, Xiao Lian's bright eyes dim again. (To be continued......)
