For Yelu Shenxuan, a military defeat was easy to accept, and he could barely accept losing to Li Chen, but his status in the Liao Kingdom was shaken, which directly affected his foundation and was absolutely intolerable.
Unfortunately, there is not much time left in the Yelu Wilderness. At this juncture, the most important thing for Yelu Shenxuan to do is to return to the Wolf Court immediately. Not to mention the danger of staying at Crescent Pass, and he might not wait until the spring.
It may not be support from the Liao Kingdom, but abandonment.
After understanding Yelu Shenxuan's concerns, Xiao Tiannan immediately said: "Prince, I am willing to accompany the prince back and protect him along the way, even if he dies!"
Yelu Shenxuan sighed softly, held Xiao Tiannan's hands, and said emotionally: "Now only Tiannan is left with me in the 600,000-strong army. I don't know anyone else when I'm in a coma. You had countless opportunities to dedicate me to Qin, but you didn't
You did this, but you risked your life and led me out of the heavy siege. How could I not understand this? Your loyalty to me can be seen by the sun and the moon, and I can also see it."
"Tian Nan, I said that although you and I are kings and ministers, we are also good friends. Today, I have experienced ups and downs, and I have seen through the world and people's hearts. Only then did I understand that your sincerity towards me has no impurities. I will make a promise to you today.
, In the future, as long as I, Yelu Shenxuan, live, I will live with you, Xiao Tiannan, and I will not be able to give you an equal status with me. However, no one in the Liao Kingdom dares to be disrespectful to you. To be disrespectful to you is to be disrespectful to me.
Disrespectful!”
Yelu Shenxuan's words made Xiao Tiannan so moved that his lips trembled.
Given Yelu Shenxuan's character and status, these words were definitely not intended to comfort him, and Yelu Shenxuan had no need to comfort him. All of this was sincere and extremely rare.
Xiao Tiannan looked at Yelu Shenxuan with tears in his eyes. What was equal to the emotion in his heart was guilt. He opened his mouth several times. The little conscience left in his heart made him almost confess his identity to Yelu Shenxuan.
, but the desire to survive and reason forcefully suppressed his impulse.
In the end, what Xiao Tiannan said was: "Being able to be trusted and favored by the Crown Prince is a blessing that I, Xiao Tiannan, have earned over several lifetimes. In fact, all of this... is what I should do..."
"What should be done? A minister will die for the king. Everyone will say this, but how many can really do it? Only you, Tiannan, did it, so this loyalty and true love are particularly valuable, no matter what I do to you
Whatever you promise, you are worth it!"
The monarch and his ministers held hands and looked at each other with tears in their eyes in the ice and snow. Xiao Tiannan was so moved that he said in a trembling voice: "Prince!"
Yelu Shenxuan was also very emotional. He held Xiao Tiannan's hand, looked into his eyes, and replied: "Tiannan!"
When the two of them were about to hug each other and cry, a sudden sound of a branch snapping startled them.
Yelu Shenxuan jumped around and turned around, only to see that only the snow had crushed a dead branch. Although he breathed a sigh of relief, he also reminded the two of them that this was by no means a place to stay for a long time.
"Without any further delay, let's go quickly and get back to Yueyang Pass as soon as possible and then leave the customs and return to Liao."
Yelu Shenxuan said to Xiao Tiannan.
Xiao Tiannan nodded, suddenly squatted down with his back to Yelu Shenxuan, and said, "Prince, you have just woken up from a coma and are still weak. Let me carry you for a while."
Yelu Shenxuan was even more moved and said: "How can you, a weak scholar, bear my weight? Why don't you come together?"
"Prince!"
