Chapter 188: Meet in Mozhou
It was already evening when Le Yiyang escorted Princess Xiao Cuixin to Mozhou. More than ten Khitan soldiers led the two to the gate of Yelu Deguang's camp, and left by himself as the command of the former camp commander Yelu Ruan.
The Khitan Army has extremely strict ranks. In order to ensure the emperor's safety as much as possible, ordinary soldiers cannot enter camps in various places at will. Once they enter accidentally, the imperial guards can be killed according to the crime of rebellion.
Xiao Cuixin and Le Yiyang waited at the entrance of the camp for half an hour. It was already dark. Finally, they received Yelu Deguang's oral orders. Xuan and the others immediately went to the camp for a visit.
The two of them first followed the eight imperial guards in bronze armor and walked more than a hundred steps in the camp, and then were replaced by eight imperial guards.
After repeated changes, I changed it more than ten times, and after hundreds of tents, it took more than one incense stick to arrive at the tent of the King Camp in Yelu Deguang. The tent was surrounded by fences, and there was an imperial guard guard every five steps outside.
There were two guards waiting at the main entrance of the tent. When they saw Xiao Cuixin and Le Yiyang, they were shocked. Xiao Cuixin and Le Yiyang saw the two of them, and they also opened their eyes wide at the same time.
The two guards were Lu Wanli and He Liantian. They followed Princess Yelu Zhongying to Jin State that day, and had a relationship with Le Yiyang and Xiao Cuixin at the Farewell Tower in Kaifeng. After Shuyue, the few met again, and were thousands of miles away.
Lu Wanli took a step forward and said respectfully: "I'll pay homage to the princess." Xiao Cuixin had never seen these red tapes before, so she quickly squatted down and returned the gift. Lu Wanli said again: "Princess, the princess, the emperor has been waiting for you in the tent for a long time. Let's go in." He looked at Le Yiyang and said in a harmonious manner: "Young Master Le, I didn't expect to meet again so soon. Since you are with the princess, please ask you to register the account together."
Le Yiyang casually said, "Senior Lu, it's been a long time since he was gone." He took out the Qingyun Xuankong Sword and handed it to one of the imperial guards, and then entered the tent with Xiao Cuixin.
The large tent is dozens of feet in a radius, which can accommodate hundreds of people at the same time. Thousands of huge candles are lit inside, reflecting the entire tent like daytime.
At this time, there were only a few people in the tent, which seemed particularly empty. Yelu Deguang sat on the dragon throne and was reviewing memorials. All the memorials were written in Khitan and Chinese characters. Although the Khitan was a nomadic people, in the generation of Yelu Deguang, due to the promotion of Han culture in China, all the princes and nobles to ordinary people knew some Chinese characters.
When Yelu Deguang saw Xiao Cuixin coming, he quickly put down the memorial in his hand and moved to the center of the tent to greet him. After Xiao Cuixin approached, he saluted and said, "Xiao Cuixin pays homage to the Emperor."
Yelu Deguang was stunned and quickly woke up and said, "Good boy, you have been living in Jin State for many years and suffered a lot of grievances. In the future, the emperor will slowly compensate you."
Xiao Cuixin raised her head and saw that the person in front of her had turned pale and had a kind and kind face. She was smiling and looking at herself. Suddenly, she recalled her father Yelu Bei's voice and smile. Her heart felt sour and tears kept flowing out.
Yelu Deguang took out a handkerchief from his arms, helped her wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and comforted her: "Good boy, don't be sad. As long as the emperor is here, no one will bully you in the future." After he said that, he ordered someone to win a gold medal and hand it to Xiao Cuixin. Xiao Cuixin looked at it and saw that the four big words Yelu Deguang were written in Khitan and Chinese characters on the gold medal.
Xiao Cui thought of what his brother said in Yingzhou, and did not dare to reach out to answer it. She choked and said, "Master, I have received your kindness."
Yelu Deguang was stunned and then said gently: "Good boy, do you know how important this gold medal is. When the Khitan subjects saw the gold medal, it was like seeing me. There are only three in the world today. The other two are in the hands of the prince Yelu Jing and the princess Yelu Zhongying." Yelu Deguang felt ashamed of his niece, so he gave the gold medal to her.
Xiao Cuixin won the gold medal and said softly: "Thank you, the emperor."
Yelu Deguang laughed loudly and said, "Good boy, you have to be polite, we are a family." He asked about Le Yiyang next to her and said, complimentingly, "It is rare that Young Master Le has a sincere heart."
Yelu Deguang asked Xiao Cuixin and Le Yiyang to sit down and talk, and asked about her recent situation. When she learned that she had a deep relationship with Zhongyuan, she said, "Good boy, don't worry, you can go back in a few days."
Le Yiyang heard the implication and felt uneasy when he thought of the imminent war in Hengzhou. Yelu Deguang saw Le Yiyang's serious expression and asked deliberately: "What are Young Master Le thinking?" Le Yiyang stood up and replied: "Your Majesty, I'm thinking about how the people of Hengzhou are doing."
As soon as this said, the imperial guards in the tent were shocked. Seeing that the emperor's face turned dark, Lu Wanli secretly felt a sweat for Le Yiyang.
Yelu Deguang thought for a moment and said, "When the two countries fight, the most miserable people. If our Khitan can defeat Shatuo, we will definitely save the people and the fire." Yelu Deguang began to read the teachings of Confucius and Mencius since childhood, and at this time he spoke without any pretentiousness.
Le Yiyang took the opportunity to say, "The emperor will love the people and will receive support from the people!"
Yelu Deguang laughed a few times and signaled him to sit down.
At this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of light footsteps outside the tent, and then I remembered a crisp sound. When the woman entered the tent, Le Yiyang's heart melted.
The guards saluted to the woman and said, "Good Princess!" The man was Yelu Zhongying, the daughter of Yelu Deguang.
Yelu Zhongying smiled and said in a sweet voice: "Father, the princess sister is here, you won't tell me." Yelu Deguang smiled and said nothing.
Yelu Zhongying looked at Xiao Cuixin and Le Yiyang, and a surprised expression suddenly appeared on her face.
Xiao Cuixin quickly stood up and said softly, "Your Highness, Princess." Yelu Zhongying walked over with a smile and said, "This world is so small. Today's big tent is so similar to the brothels that day." She glanced at Le Yiyang and asked, "Young Master Le, do you think so?"
Le Yiyang nodded and said, "The princess is very right!"
Yelu Zhongying walked up to him and whispered, "Young Master Le, do you miss me?" Le Yiyang's face changed drastically after hearing this. He didn't expect that she would suddenly ask this question, and he didn't know how to answer it for a moment. When Yelu Zhongying saw him, he said, "Do I miss you every day?"
Xiao Cuixin couldn't hear clearly what she was saying, but she felt a slight pain in her chest.
Seeing this, Yelu Deguang said loudly: "Ying'er, stop making trouble. Young Master Le is accompanying your sister to Mozhou, so you can't make things difficult for him."
Yelu Zhongying had guessed it long ago, and reluctantly left Le Yiyang, found a place to sit down, but his eyes were still staring at him.
