When he arrived on the shore, Yelu Zhongying looked at Le Yiyang, her red lips moved slightly, and said softly: "I offended the young master just now, so please forgive me." Le Yiyang was shocked. Unexpectedly, this foreign princess could actually speak Chinese. She looked at her carefully and saw that she was dressed like a Khitan girl. So she said: "It is a honor to be able to hold a boat for Your Highness the Princess in this life." Yelu Zhongying smiled slightly, took a bag of silver from the guards who accompanied him and handed it to him, saying: "These are silver for us to cross the river, please be sure to accept it." Le Yiyang hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Your Highness the Princess misunderstood. This is not my ship. The owner of the ship has just escaped."

After hearing this, Yelu Zhongying said loudly, "Are we so scary? Why do those people meet us like cows, sheep, tigers, and wolfs?" Le Yiyang didn't know how to answer, but just looked at her foolishly. Yelu Zhongying smiled a few times and said, "I ask you, are you afraid of us?" Le Yiyang said, "I'm going to go back to the princess's words, I'm not afraid of you, but the guards behind you." After hearing this, Yelu Zhongying smiled brighter and said in a sweet voice: "It seems that the young master is a person who will not lie to me. Zhong Ying still has important things to do, so I'll leave you here, and I hope we can meet again."

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

Le Yiyang looked at the figures of everyone leaving and thought to himself: "The war between the two countries is imminent, but the Khitan sent people to Dajin at this time. It seems that the situation on the border still has a turning point. The old saying goes: War is a powerful weapon. No one will easily launch a war unless it is absolutely necessary."

Le Yiyang turned around and found that Lai Ji Yun was standing quietly on the side, pouting his mouth, looking angry, and asked in confusion: "Miss Lai, who made you angry?" Lai Ji Yun heard the conversation between Le Yiyang and Yelu Zhongying clearly on the shore. Seeing him as if nothing had happened, he felt funny in his heart and asked back, "Mr. Le, are you afraid of me?" Le Yiyang said: "Miss Lai, what's wrong with you?" Lai Ji Yun saw that he didn't answer, deliberately turned around and ignored him.

Le Yiyang didn't know if Lai Ji Yun was really angry with him, so he walked up and said, "Miss Lai, if nothing happens, let's go first." Lai Ji Yun thought to himself, "The Khitan princess just left, and you can't wait to chase after him. It's too obvious." He said coldly, "Yes, if you don't chase after him quickly, they will go away later."

"They?" Le Yiyang said, "Miss, are you referring to those Khitan missions?" Lai Qiyun was stunned and said, "Then, they are going to Kaifeng Prefecture." Le Yiyang replied honestly, "They went to Beijing to meet His Majesty the Emperor this time, probably to resolve the recent dispute between the two countries." After hearing this, he waved his hand and said, "Since the young master is on the same journey with those Khitans, I don't need to walk with you. I will say goodbye, hoping that the young master will come true."

Le Yiyang didn't understand that she was eating Yelu Zhongying's jealousy, so she saw Lai Jiyun riding a horse along the river, so she also turned over to the horse. Lai Jiyun felt angry and waved the horse with a whip. The horse was originally a top-notch horse in Youyun Villa. When she was stimulated by this, she immediately ran on the river bank. Not long after, she threw Le Yiyang out more than ten miles away.

Le Yiyang followed the river bank and after an hour, he still did not see Lai Jiyun. The river was winding and divided into several thin tributaries, surrounding the river bank. Le Yiyang got off the horse and walked, constantly looking around with his eyes, hoping to see Lai Jiyun somewhere.

He recalled what had just happened and gradually understood why Lai Ji Yun was so angry that he left him. Could it be because of Yelu Zhongying? Yes, it must be her. However, Lai Ji Yun was born pure and handsome, and was one of the rare beautiful women in the world. Will she still be jealous of Yelu Zhongying's beauty? As she walked, Le Yiyang suddenly became whispered all over and shouted: "Damn it, why didn't I think earlier that Lai was eating Yelu Zhongying's jealousy."

Since the first meeting in 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 is even willing to fight with Pingshan Sect masters for him, but he himself has not been able to notice the subtle feelings between men and women. It was not until this time Lai Jiyun left that Le Yiyang finally figured it out. Le Yiyang looked at the way he came and thought to himself: "Miss Lai doesn't want to walk with me because she is afraid that I will fall in love with Yelu Zhongying. But Yelu Zhongying is a princess of the Khitan, and the two countries are at odds. This kind of thing is not even dared to think about it now."

Le Yiyang turned over and ran back towards the original road. 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 surface, so he decided that Ji Yun had not gone back. He turned his horse's head and drove southeast.

After walking for another three hours, he arrived at an unknown mountain. There was no official road here. Le Yiyang led his horse and walked four or five miles inside. He found a horse under a hillside. The horse was Lai Ji Yun's mount, eating wild grass quietly, and did not notice Le Yiyang's arrival at all. Le Yiyang tied his horse to the tree, took his luggage and went around to find Lai Ji Yun.

Le Yiyang found a line of footprints on the ground, and followed the footprints to the hillside and found a figure hiding in the grass. He leaned quietly over and was about to approach the man, but the man suddenly turned around and stabbed a sword to his chest. Le Yiyang saw that it was Lai Ji Yun and shouted happily: "Miss Lai..." As soon as he said these words, Lai Ji Yun signaled him not to shout loudly, then took the sword back, and whispered: "Young Master Le, come and see, I have made a new discovery."

Le Yiyang walked over and lay among the grass. Looking down at the opposite mountain, two people were fighting. One of them was the Khitan guards who protected Yelu Zhongying, but the other side didn't know who they were. A burst of swords and swords were unscathed, and the Khitan guards became more and more active as they killed. The other side was beaten like flowing water and falling flowers, and fleeing constantly, leaving only three or four corpses. Le Yiyang thought to himself: "Did they meet bandits?"

At this time, a Khitan guard at the foot of the mountain cursed: "Shi Chonggui always advocated the right way to govern the country, but he didn't expect that the world was in chaos, and he actually did evil in broad daylight! It's really outrageous." Another person echoed: "How can Jin State compare with my Khitan? Shi Chonggui is just the grandson of our Majesty. But these bandits are really hateful and are bold and arrogant. Even His Royal Highness wants to rob. Today, we must teach them a lesson to let them know how powerful my Khitan guard is."

The Khitan guards all raised their sharp swords in their hands and prepared to look for the bandits again, but they were stopped by Yelu Zhongying in the carriage. Because they were too far away from the Khitan mission, Le Yiyang and Lai Jiyun could not hear the conversation between Yelu Zhongying. They saw that these Khitan guards dug a big pit and buried the three or four bandits they had just killed, and the large group of troops set off on their way again.

When the Khitan delegation walked away, Le Yiyang and Lai Jiyun got up from the grass. Seeing Le Yiyang chasing him all the way, most of his anger had disappeared, and he asked, "Young Master Le, what were the Khitans talking just now?" Le Yiyang translated what the Khitans said. After hearing this, Lai Jiyun said angrily: "It's really a thief who shouted to catch the thief. It was obvious that they killed people. It seems that the woman on the boat said something reasonable. They are all demons who kill people without blinking." Le Yiyang said in confusion: "It's hard to make a conclusion now, let's go down and take a look." Lai Jiyun nodded, and the two walked slowly along the hillside.

Le Yiyang stood in front of the mound and said to Lai Ji Yun, "Miss Lai, do you mind if I dig out the body and take a look." Lai Ji Yun said, "Please, I have seen dead people." Le Yiyang threw away the mound with his hand, revealing a human head, with a mask on the other end. Lai Ji Yun was very curious and walked over to uncover the mask of the bandit, and found that the man was not a Han from the Central Plains. Le Yiyang looked at the head carefully and suddenly realized, "Miss Lai, I figured it out, these people are not ordinary bandits, but assassins sent by Dangxiang."

Lai Jiyun asked, "Mr. Le, how do you know they are Dangxiang people?" Le Yiyang pointed to the man and said, "I grew up on the Taiyuan border. Hundreds of miles west of Taiyuan are the territory of the Dangxiang people, called Dingnan Army. Dangxiang leader Li Yiyin, the leader of the Dingnan Army, was close friends with our Jin State and was appointed Duke Xia Guo, the governor of Dingnan Army. Dangxiang people occasionally came to the border to do business, and they were all bald and big ears and wide eyes. Although this man had long hair, it was still very different from us Han people." Lai Jiyun said, "So that's the case, but why did Dangxiang send people to assassinate the Khitan Princess?"

Le Yiyang said: "Dangxiang is really unpredictable. At present, the army of Khitan and Jin are confronting each other on the border. If the Khitan princess dies in Jin State, we will be unable to argue with all kinds of people, and the consequences are unimaginable. Although the Khitan princess is protected by a large group of people, she is a weak woman after all, and Dangxiang assassins are everywhere, and the Khitan guards are unable to defend themselves." Lai Ji Yun asked in confusion: "Yun'er doesn't understand, isn't Dangxiang very friendly to us? How could they make trouble at this critical moment?"

Le Yiyang remembered the incident when Liu Zhiyuan, the King of Peking, was in danger a month ago, and said, "Dangxiang has always been inconsistent, and he will depend on whoever is strong. Since the end of the Tang Dynasty, Dangxiang has always been vain to the emperor of the Central Plains, and now it has gone through four dynasties. The Khitan gradually rises, and the Central Plains dynasty is shaking, and Dangxiang's intention to be unofficial is becoming increasingly obvious." Lai Jiyun took a breath and asked, "Young Master Le, what should we do next?" Le Yiyang said confidently: "Miss Lai, we are going to Kaifeng Prefecture. It is better to secretly follow the Khitan delegation and act according to the opportunity." Although Lai Jiyun had no good feelings for Yelu Zhongying, he felt that Le Yi's threat was reasonable, so he had to agree silently.

The two buried the Dangxiang Assassin, got up and climbed over the hillside, and returned to the place where they were tying their horses before, but did not find their mount. Le Yiyang carefully searched around and found two bloody horse skins and some leftover horse bones in a grass. Lai Ji Yun ran over, and saw this scene, his heart felt sad, and he threw himself on Le Yi Yang's shoulder and burst into tears. Le Yiyang comforted and said, "Miss Lai, things have come to this point, so please feel sorry for me. There are beasts in this wilderness, and I am neglected."

Lai Ji Yun suddenly pulled out the thousand-shaped sword, looked around, and said, "Young Master Le, you can't stay here for a long time, we will come out of the mountain as soon as possible." Le Yiyang walked over and held her hand, sent the sword back into the scabbard, and said, "Miss Lai, now we have no horses, so we have to go with you." Lai Ji Yun said, "It's good that this is good, I dare not leave you will no longer be willful."

Le Yiyang walked a few steps, suddenly stopped, turned around and picked up the two horses on the ground. Seeing that he was acting strangely, Ji Yun asked curiously: "The two horse skins are very bloody, what is the use of the young master?" Le Yiyang said: "It's early winter now, and it's gradually turning cold at night. These horse skins can be used as clothes and quilts for a while." Lai Ji Yun smiled and said nothing. The two walked eastward for five miles, and the sky became dark. Lai Ji Yun waved his sword to cut off a dead tree, took out a fire from his arms and lit it, and held the torch to continue moving forward.
