every spring [comprehensive]

Wanyan Aguda laughed loudly and said: "Brother Xiao, you value love and righteousness. You are willing to share happiness with us, and we are also willing to share our difficulties with you. Whenever you encounter any difficulties, I, Wanyan Aguda and our Jurchen The Horde will advance and retreat with you!"

Except for the Song Dynasty, the ethnic groups living in the north all like hunting due to the environment, so they can train to be strong and strong.The emperor of the Daliao Kingdom personally hunts for several months every year, surrounded by princes and ministers, just like a grand festival, and those who can go hunting with the emperor are often nobles who are very favored, such as the emperor Canonized a few years ago, Princess Li Guifei of Goryeo.

When Shili returned to his master and returned to his command, Yelu Hongji was drinking in Concubine Li's big tent.

Xiao Feng's sworn brother was none other than Yelu Hongji, the emperor of Daliao Kingdom at that time.The name he said to Xiao Feng was missing one word from his real name, the difference was only one word, but the identity was very different.

As soon as Yelu Hongji heard that the person who gave Xiao Feng the gift had returned, he ordered him to come in, and asked: "How is it? Did my Brother Xiao take the gift? Is he all right?"

Shili replied: "To my lord, Xiao Daxia saw that the gift was too expensive at first, so he refused to accept it. Later, he heard the villain tell about the king's sincere love, and finally he accepted it apprehensively. Xiao Daxia asked me to convey it. His gratitude, he misses the king very much. He is fine now, and his friends in Song Dynasty also went to see him, and he is with Xiao Daxia. Although the Jurchen people have asked your majesty about your identity, the villain has not. Say, lest Xiao Yingxiong panic too much."

Yelu Hongji laughed loudly and said, "Okay, you've done a good job, that little money is so precious, there's nothing to worry about! Brother Xiao, I'm too reserved."

Everyone in Daliao knew that Yelu Hongji was captured by Xiao Feng and released by him, even if Xiao Feng and him did not become brothers in the end, he still had to send some money to show his gratitude.In this way, both parties have given enough face, and of course everyone is happy.

Yelu Hongji was very interested today, and asked more about Xiao Feng's situation, "You said that his friend from the Song Kingdom came to see him, could it be that he is as brave as him?"

Shi Li replied: "That's not true, but a beautiful girl who can overwhelm the country and the city."

Yelu Hongji smiled and said: "So that's the case, she must be my brother Xiao's confidante."

In Concubine Li's big tent, there were not only Concubine Li, but also two other low-ranking concubines playing the piano and drinking with them. Seeing that Yelu Hongji was in such a good mood today, he took the opportunity to flatter Concubine Li and said, "What's wrong with you under the sun?" Apart from our Concubine Li Gui, who else dares to be called the most beautiful woman in the world?"

Yelu Hongji doted on Concubine Li very much, and said, "That's right!" He looked at Shi Li, and found that his expression was different, he didn't seem to agree, Shi Li didn't know how to answer for a moment, obviously he was a little embarrassed .

Yelu Hongji wondered: "Why, is that girl even more beautiful than our Concubine Li?" Although Yelu Hongji has many beauties in the harem, this Concubine Li is really rare and beautiful, the only one he has seen in his life, so he loves her more , this may be the privilege of beauty.

Shi Li said: "The empress and that young lady Wang each have their own merits, and each flower catches their own eyes, and the villain can't tell the difference."

Concubine Li Gui has always been proud of her unparalleled beauty. Shi Li avoided answering questions directly because she obviously felt that she was not as good-looking as others, so she gave a light bark and said, "Your Majesty, I really want to see what this girl looks like." So, you might as well pass her on. Captain Shili has no knowledge, so don’t mistake wild flowers for peonies. Your Majesty has said that concubines are famous flowers in the city. If you compare them with wild flowers and weeds, wouldn’t it be good for your concubines? Wronged?"

Yelu Hongji was in a bit of a dilemma. He had always loved this concubine to the point of being able to respond to every request, but he was not really a fatuous and lustful king, so he said: "My beloved concubine, don't make a big fuss. It would be a bit of a bully to pass on someone who is not a citizen of our Daliao." If it is passed on, it will also damage his reputation.

Concubine Li Gui can back down on other matters, but this is related to her appearance and her dignity.The war between the two countries was started because of her. Now some people say that she lost to others in appearance. Doesn't that mean that the war between the two countries was meaningless!

Concubine Li Gui said, "Your Majesty, don't you often talk about how brave and skilled the hero Xiao is? Please come here and let the officials see this brave and skilled hero. Secondly, no matter how great this hero is, he is also a Khitan, a citizen of Daliao, if he knows that his brother-in-law is the current emperor, wouldn't he be more grateful and respectful to His Majesty?"

Yelu Hongji thought about it for a while, and felt that what she said was very reasonable, revealing his true identity in front of Xiao Feng would be beneficial and harmless to him, so why not do it?Immediately ordered Shi Li again: "Go pick up Xiao Yingxiong and Miss Wang, just say I am welcome."

Wu Yazi heard that Duan Zhengchun and Duan Zhengming in Dali had only one male, and that Duan Yu was going to take over the throne of Dali in the future. He felt that he was bookish and lacked the appearance of an emperor, so he needed to be trained more.Firstly, Duan Yu had worshiped the jade statue of his wife Qi Yufeng as his teacher before, and Wu Yazi regarded him as his apprentice; secondly, because he is Wang Yuyan's older brother, Wu Yazi loved Wu Yazi, so he had long regarded him as his own The younger generation, Wu Yazi took Duan Yu to the deep mountains to hunt bears and fight tigers, often for a few days.

It was midsummer, when water and grass were luxuriant, and when birds and beasts in the mountains and forests multiplied, so it was suitable for hunting.Wang Yuyan also went out for a walk with the Jurchen tribe on a horse. She saw the bunny and deer jumping in the mountains and forests, which was very interesting, and the people beside them would always gain something by bending their bows and arrows.Xiao Feng even hunted a stag, which won everyone's applause.

Xiao Feng rode his horse over and said: "Why did you come out to hunt without seeing you showing off your hands?"

Wang Yuyan smiled and said, "I'm not good at this. If I use a stone or something close by, I may be able to hit the prey, but I've never tried it with a bow and arrow from a distance."

Xiao Feng laughed heartily, Wang Yuyan asked strangely: "What are you laughing at?"

Xiao Feng said with a smile: "Unexpectedly, there are things in the world that can be difficult for our both civil and military Miss Wang."

Wang Yuyan pretended to be angry and said: "What kind of civil and military skills, why did you come to ridicule me for no reason today! Naturally, there are many things in this world that can be difficult for me."

Xiao Feng said with a smile: "No wonder you don't even have a bow and arrow on your back. How difficult is it to ride a horse and hunt? Come, brother Xiao will teach you!"

As he spoke, he took off his own bow and a bag of feathered arrows, and handed them to Wang Yuyan.Teach her how to draw a longbow and tell her the secret of archery.While talking, Xiao Feng demonstrated it himself, saying: "Hold the bow with your left hand, put the arrow in your right hand, remember to lower your left arm when raising the bow, turn your elbow inward, push the bow with your left hand, and use the force of your left shoulder to push your right shoulder. Draw the bow... After you take aim, continue to put more force on your right shoulder, and at the same time, spread the three fingers that are holding the string quickly, and the arrow will be shot. As soon as the words fell, Xiao Feng's feathered arrows flew out at the same time, hitting a leaf in the middle.

Xiao Feng asked: "Do you understand?" Wang Yuyan nodded and said: "I probably understand, I'll give it a try." After she finished speaking, she imitated Xiao Feng's posture to bend the bow and set the arrow, and Xiao Feng came over to adjust it for her. posture, Wang Yuyan shot an arrow, right on the tree trunk in the distance.

Xiao Feng said approvingly: "It's already very good. It's the first time you're shooting an arrow on a horse. It's pretty good that you didn't miss the target." Speaking of this, his smile gradually faded until it disappeared.

Wang Yuyan said: "What's wrong, is my performance too bad?"

Xiao Feng said with a complex expression: "The year I learned archery was first taught by Chief Wang himself when I first joined the Beggar Clan. Remembering his earnest teachings at that time are still in front of my eyes, the old man may have expected this day at that time. I am riding a horse, not in the Central Plains, but galloping in this northern land."

Xiao Feng sighed: "Things are different now, even if Gang Leader Wang and the others are my father-killing enemies, he clearly knows that I am not from the Song Dynasty and still teaches him so carefully, I, Xiao Feng, have fallen into this state today, and I don't know what to hate who."

Wang Yuyan said: "Boss Wang and the others raised you and taught you out of guilt for your parents and out of good intentions. However, they did harm to you by training you to be a great hero."

Xiao Feng frowned, and said: "Oh? How do you say this?"

Wang Yuyan said: "If you follow along, Uncle Qiao and Aunt Qiao can just be a farmer or a hunter in peace, and you can spend your life in the countryside of the Song Dynasty in peace. But you joined the beggar gang, and they took you Trained to be a hero, taught you to serve the country and the people, and participated in many major military affairs against foreigners, so that you have long regarded the Khitan Xixia and other countries that bullied our Han people as enemies, but you didn't realize until the truth came out. I am Hu Yao, whom I once regarded as my mortal enemy, and I must not be able to deal with it, isn't this too cruel for you?"

Xiao Feng suppressed his riotous mood with forbearance, carefully comprehended what she said, and after a while, he said: "Miss Wang really knows my heart very well!"

That's why Xiao Feng would rather live with these Jurchens, in fact he is avoiding himself, no matter if he appears in Song State or Khitan, he must make a choice he doesn't want to make.Falling into a dilemma again, he himself will make people look different inside and out.

Wang Yuyan sighed, and said, "Brother Xiao, you can either indulge yourself in the mountains and rivers for the rest of your life, or...you should be a person who can dominate and avoid putting yourself in a dilemma."

As the hunting team went further north, they had left the forest and entered the grassland. The smell of green grass lingered on the tip of their noses, and the gift of nature could not help but make people feel refreshed.The grassland stretched as far as the eye could see, and from a distance, they could see a procession approaching them. Although people could be seen, the distance between them was at least six or seven miles, and it would be a quarter of an hour before the two sides met.The Jurchens thought they had encountered some kind of enemy before, so they were all on guard.

The leader of that party got off his horse and said, "Uncle Xiao!"

Only then did Xiao Feng recognize that this person was the captain Shi Li who brought him gifts before, "Why did Captain Shi Li go and come back again? Could it be my brother Yelu, what's the matter?"

Shi Li said: "Master has missed Uncle Xiao very much since we parted, and would like to ask Uncle Xiao and Miss Wang to meet."

Wang Yuyan said: "Brother Xiao and your master are married to Jinlan, if you want to invite him as a guest, why do you want to bring me along?"

Xiao Feng said: "Brother must have heard that you came to see me, so he thought of inviting you along."

At this time, Shi Li said with some guilt: "It's all bad for the villain. When the villain replied, the master was with one of his wives, and it was the lady who wanted to see the girl."

Xiao Feng looked at Wang Yuyan at this moment, and said: "I don't know what Miss Wang wants? Would you like to go with me to meet elder brother? If you don't want to, then I will naturally stay here to accompany you."

They came here for him, if Wang Yuyan didn't want to see more people from other races, he could understand.

Wang Yuyan murmured, "Okay, I'll accompany Brother Xiao for a walk."

They told the Jurchens that Wu Yazi and Duan Yu would catch up after they came back.Shi Li also left two people in his team, waiting to lead the way for the laggards, and set off first with Xiao Feng and Wang Yuyan.

Traveling westward in the prairie for a few days, I saw countless tents erected in front of me from a distance, and there were banners and festivals. It seemed like a barracks or a tribe living together. When I got closer, I heard the sound of horns. , following the dust, the two horse teams dispersed, one galloping north and the other galloping south.

When those people saw them approaching, they separated a group of soldiers and horses to meet them from the camp, and the others continued to practice listening to the sound of the horn.

Xiao Feng was slightly startled, and thought: "No, it's the Khitan cavalry!"

Shi Li said: "We have arrived at the guard camp, the master should not be far ahead." While speaking, a troop of cavalry had already arrived in front of him, Shi Li said: "Quickly go and report that Uncle Xiao from Changbai Mountain is coming!"

The two leading cavalrymen bowed to receive the order and galloped away, and the rest of the people followed in the guard behind them. Obviously, the status of the sergeant is not trivial here.

When Yeluji sent a large amount of gold, silver, cattle and sheep, Xiao Feng knew that he must be a great nobleman of Khitan, seeing this kind of momentum, he guessed that this brother-in-law was probably some general or high-ranking official of the Liao Kingdom.

Yelu Hongji's big tent is not here yet, this place is just a guard camp, they followed the guide all the way north, riding back and forth in the grassland, there was an endless stream, all of them were wearing bright armor.On the road, cavalry troops wearing various brocade robes and iron armors came to welcome and pay respects to Uncle Xiao, and merged into their ranks. As the ranks behind them grew bigger, Xiao Feng became more and more shocked.

Wang Yuyan said: "Brother Xiao, since you are here, please be safe. Since you and your righteous brother are congenial, you will be sworn brothers. No matter what his status is, you are just a virtuous brother who came to pay a visit to big brother today."

Xiao Feng said: "That's right, we are here to pay a visit to a good friend, no matter how old the other party is, I shouldn't show my timidity."

Wang Yuyan smiled and said, "I don't think you're timid, but reserved."

Xiao Feng was indeed a bit cautious at first, but after hearing what she said, he also relaxed his tense muscles, and said to her softly: "Brother Xiao, I was born in a rough place, and I am a rough guy, and all the people I have acquainted with, there is no one who is as good as this." Big battle."

What Xiao Feng didn't expect was that a bigger battle was still behind, turning around a hillside, banners were flying in front of him, a prairie was densely packed with tents everywhere, tens of thousands of cavalry and infantry surrounded a large open space in the middle.The officers and soldiers of the teams escorting Xiao Feng took out their horns and blew them loudly.

Hearing the sound of the horn in the camp, the corresponding drum beat loudly, the large group of cavalry split into two sides to meet each other, a bloody horse lined up the cavalry, and the person sitting immediately was Xiao Feng's Sworn brother!He came up to greet him, and said in his mouth: "Good brother, I want to kill my brother!"

Xiao Feng experienced so many days to meet Yeluji, and couldn't help being excited, "Brother!" The two got off their horses and hugged each other.The voices of the soldiers and generals chanting long live came overwhelmingly!All the people around drew their knives and fell to their knees.

Although Xiao Feng had already made mental preparations, he still couldn't believe it. He looked at Yeluji, "Brother, are you?"

Yelu Hongji laughed loudly, and said proudly: "Brother, if I let you know that I am the current emperor of Daliao, would you still worship me?"

Although Xiao Feng is heroic, under such circumstances, seeing the Khitan emperor, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He is a Khitan citizen and should salute their Daliao emperor, so he also knelt down on one knee and said : "Grassman Xiao Feng sees Your Majesty!"

Yelu Hongji quickly helped him up, and said: "You and I, brothers, don't see each other, today we only talk about brotherly love, and tomorrow we will talk about the etiquette of monarchs and ministers!"

Among the people kneeling on the ground, Wang Yuyan, who had been standing all the time, was naturally very conspicuous. Yelu Hongji, who was used to seeing all kinds of beauties, couldn't help but brighten his eyes when he saw her for the first time, and said, "This is Miss Wang." Bar."

Wang Yuyan made a salute to Yelu Hongji: "Little girl, see His Majesty the Emperor of Daliao."

Yelu Hongji sized her up and said: "Girl, you are free! She really is a beautiful country, no wonder the gentleman couldn't answer Concubine Li that day! My brother Xiao is really blessed!"

Wang Yuyan was startled, Xiao Feng's face turned red, and he said hastily: "Brother, don't misunderstand, Miss Wang is my good friend, a life-and-death friend, and besides, Miss Wang is also my second brother's sweetheart, Xiao dare not disagree think."

Yelu Hongji laughed and said: "As the so-called fair and graceful lady, a gentleman is good, so don't be embarrassed."

Xiao Feng wanted to argue again, but Yelu Hongji had already taken the lead and led them into the big tent.

Although Wang Yuyan has always been gentle and never saw her get angry, but at this time Xiao Feng didn't know why, he was afraid to look at Wang Yuyan.

The tent where the emperor lived was made of several layers of cowhide, and it was called the leather tent.After entering the big tent, he arranged for Xiao Feng and Wang Yuyan to sit down, and Yelu Hongji said: "When I swore to my righteous brother, I missed a word about my real name, my real name is actually Yelu Hongji , In that situation at that time, it was inconvenient to reveal your identity, I hope you don't mind, brother-in-law."

Yelu Hongji intended to show off the majesty of His Majesty the Emperor of the Daliao Kingdom, and asked the generals and ministers who came out to accompany him to hunt this time to come in one by one to meet Xiao Feng.In the evening, there was a big banquet, and a grand banquet was held in the big tent where he lived.

All the civil and military officials came up one by one to toast Xiao Feng one by one. There were too many of them, Xiao Feng couldn't remember their names one by one, but the toasted wine was always coming, and when he drank more than [-] cups, he still remained expressionless. .

Xiao Feng's drinking capacity is really unprecedented, people can't help admiring it!The Khitan people talk about heroes, one is about martial arts, and the other is about drinking.No matter how good Xiao Feng's martial arts are, he has won the respect of everyone for his incredible capacity for drinking.

Yelu Hongji was even more impressed, saying that Xiao Feng is a true hero worthy of the name.

Khitan people respect women, several concubines of Yelu Hongji are also in the big tent, they have special seats, Wang Yuyan felt that there was a bunch of eyes staring at her, she followed the gaze and found that the other party was sitting in Yelu Hong The beauty on the left side of Ji is graceful and luxurious, and her appearance is extremely outstanding. She must be the famous Concubine Li.

The big tent is extravagant, and the performances are wonderful. Dance and wrestling show the strength and beauty of Khitan men and women.

Concubine Li Gui whispered a few words to Yelu Hongji, Yelu Hongji was in a good mood, readily agreed, Concubine Li Gui got up and left the table.After a while, the sound of the music in the arena changed. It was different from the majestic and heroic tone of the Khitan country, but more exotic. Concubine Li came out in a beautiful colorful dress.

This noble concubine Li is a famous beauty in Korea and also in Daliao, and she has always had a proud personality.When the envoys from the Xixia Kingdom came, Yelu Hongji wanted to let Concubine Li perform, but she refused in public. She did not expect to ask for a dance this time.

Concubine Li's graceful figure follows the rhythm of the music, imitating the posture of a peacock. She sometimes drinks from the spring, plays with water, chases and plays, and sometimes spreads her wings. She is a noble peacock, unfolding her beautiful feathers, showing her graceful appearance in front of people.She has a beautiful figure, and this performance is really beautiful, making people dizzying.At the end of the song, everyone applauded.

Emperor Yelu Hongji was even more proud. Having such a talented and beautiful woman can show the power of his Daliao Kingdom. Yelu Hongji said: "Concubine Li Gui is very good at acting. If you want any reward, just ask for it." !"

Concubine Li looked at Wang Yuyan, Wang Yuyan said badly in her heart, this noble concubine seemed to be targeting her a little bit, if she came up with some bad ideas, she couldn't deal with it, at worst she walked away, but leaving Xiao Feng here, facing His emperor's brother-in-law was embarrassed.

Concubine Li Gui, who only heard it, raised her voice: "This friend of Hero Xiao is said to be from the State of Song. I heard that Jiangnan in the State of Song is a beautiful land, and all the women are talented and good at singing and dancing. As the saying goes, a hundred stories are not as good as one." See, please let this Miss Wang let us see and see."

How could Yelu Hongji not know his concubine's jealousy towards Wang Yuyan's appearance, "This..." He didn't want to entertain Xiao Feng and Wang Yuyan out of good intentions, but made them unhappy, "What do Miss Wang and Brother Xiao want?"

Xiao Feng looked at Wang Yuyan and said: "Although Miss Wang is my friend, I can't make a decision for her. Whether she is willing to show off her talent or not is naturally up to Miss Wang herself."

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on her, Wang Yuyan said neither humble nor overbearing: "The dance of the noble concubine of your country just now is so beautiful, it opened my eyes. I'm really not very good at singing and dancing. I'll play a song for the king. Bar."

Seeing that she was willing to perform, Yelu Hongji immediately said: "Okay, it's my honor to hear Miss Wang's song. Come here, get the Jiao Weiqin!"

After the qin arrived, Wang Yuyan tested the tone and was pleasantly surprised: "It really is the Jiaowei qin. Your Majesty is rich in the entire Daliao. I never expected to have such a guqin in my collection."

Xiao Feng started to practice martial arts since he was a child, he didn't know anything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so he had never heard of this piano before, so he asked: "Is there anything famous about this piano?"

Wang Yuyan explained: "The 'Jiaowei' piano was made by Cai Yong in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Cai Yong once rescued a section of sycamore wood that had not been burned out in the fire and had an abnormal sound. You can see that there are still burnt marks on the tail of the piano."

Yelu Hongji was very proud, and said: "Even Jiao Weiqin may not have thought that it has been in the Daliao Palace, but it will be able to wait for a beautiful woman from the southern country to play it."

Concubine Li Gui didn't want to see Wang Yuyan get complimented by the king before she started performing, and said, "Miss Wang, please start!"

Wang Yuyan looked around and said, "Your Majesty, please open the leather tent, otherwise I will have to perform on the grass outside."

Although Yelu Hongji didn't know that she was just performing a tune, why did she have such an empty space, he still happily ordered people to turn over the cowhide around the big tent, and later even the top of the tent was also taken off, and everyone seemed to be in the same room. Camping outside on the grass is average.The night is low and the stars are flickering, and there is an endless galaxy above the head.

In this big camp, apart from the dignitaries who were lucky enough to be able to accompany the emperor at the side of the banquet, there are more personal soldiers and sergeants from the northern courtyard. Originally, there were occasional shouts from the sergeants outside, but now the king's chief tent When it was uncovered, the sergeants inside and outside the camp did not dare to make any noise.

Wang Yuyan sat down on the piano stand in the center of the big tent, and played the piano under the eyes of many people inside and outside the tent. The sound of her piano was like an echo in the empty valley, portraying a faint and serene artistic conception. Occasionally imitating one or two crisp birdsong, it is fascinating.

Most of the princes of Khitan are rough men, although they think the sound of the piano is nice, but they are not very artistic people, they think it is not as good as Concubine Li's dancing.

Concubine Li Gui saw a look of sarcasm, and thought to herself: Why don't you just play the piano, what's so different about it, this girl even worked so hard to lift the king's tent, the most annoying thing is that the king still let it go Watch her and see how she justifies herself for a while!

Xiao Feng looked at Wang Yuyan with a surprised expression.Her piano sound is not just a simple piano sound!He actually felt that there was a faint sense of true energy in the sound of the piano.Xiao Feng once heard that there is a long-lost sound wave skill in Jianghu, but he has never seen it before. Do you want to see it today!

As her tune became more and more intense, there seemed to be the fragrance of birds and flowers in the sound of the piano, and everyone seemed to hear the singing of birds and smell the fragrance of flowers.In the sound of the piano, the birds chirped from a certain corner from time to time, and the echo came leisurely from the other side of the valley!The remoteness of the valley and the crispness of birdsong gradually make people feel like they are in it.

Someone whispered: "Why do I seem to hear a bird chirping!"

"Hush! I heard that too."

But it was night, and it was so dark that everyone couldn't see clearly even if there were birds in the sky.But after a while, everyone really noticed that birds landed one after another, in the original big tent, some on the table, some on the carpet, and some on Wang Yuyan's piano stand On top of that, some are flying around her in mid-air!

The fallen bird listened attentively to the sound of the zither, and from time to time responded with a sound or two.At this time, everyone was stunned, but they all kept quiet as one, and didn't even dare to make any movements, so as not to scare them away.

Although usually there are birds that are not afraid of people, but this time these birds are obviously coming to her music, there are sparrows, orioles, chickadees, larks, magpies, and a bunch of others that no one can name. birds.

Wang Yuyan's clear and lingering qin sound is still playing, and more and more birds are coming in one after another. Her qin sound is mixed with countless birdsong, intermittently singing, or answering each other, or singing in unison. , as if she could communicate with the birds through the music.

The shock of this scene to everyone present was unprecedented, Xiao Feng watched Wang Yuyan's hand gesture without blinking his eyes, he doesn't know how to play the piano, so naturally he didn't understand how she did such an unimaginable thing.If it is said that the sound wave function can confuse people's hearts and make people confused, he would believe it.But her piano sound can control birds, and at the same time control so many different types of birds. After all, humans and birds are not of the same race. Isn't it more difficult?

Amidst the wonderful music, some birds hovered in the sky, and some landed and rested. The lights in the big tent were brightly lit, and everyone could see all kinds of bird feathers flying and spreading their wings.As Wang Yuyan's piano sound became more and more mellow, the birds no longer echoed it.It turned out that Wang Yuyan's piano sound was coming to an end, and as she finished the last note, the birds stopped circling, and the fallen ones also got up and flew away, until the birds had gone clean.Everyone in the big tent has not recovered yet.

Concubine Li's face turned pale: "What kind of sorcery is this? Is it true that a hundred birds are facing the phoenix?" Then no matter how beautiful and vivid the peacock dance she just danced just now, it is also making wedding clothes for others. No matter how elegant and noble the peacock is, how can it be Compared with the phoenix of the king of birds!Could this seemingly innocuous Miss Wang embarrass her here?

Yelu Hongji regained his composure, took the lead in applauding, and said excitedly: "Miss Wang's song really surprised us!"

Following his words, the crowd became noisy and cheered for her, and the tribal guards who believed in birds as totems walked up to her and knelt down devoutly on one knee, respecting her like a god, Wang Yuyan quickly turned sideways to avoid it, I don't want to be bowed down by people.

When the excited people finally calmed down, Yelu Hongji asked: "Could it be that this is really a hundred birds chasing a phoenix? Please ask Miss Wang to clarify our doubts."

Wang Yuyan said, "Your Majesty, everyone is serious. This is just a song called "Birds in the Empty Mountains". In Song Dynasty, many women could play and beat them."

"what?"

"what?"

Yelu Hongji asked: "Can they attract so many birds like Miss Wang?"

Wang Yuyan smiled and said, "It's not that easy, but come to think of it, I, an ordinary person, can do it, and there are others who can do it."

Xiao Feng didn't expose her, so her words can also deceive the Khitan people who have never been to the Great Song Dynasty. He has lived in the Great Song Dynasty for so many years, why has he never seen another person with such amazing skills, I'm afraid he will be poor It is very difficult to see the second one in my life.

This night's banquet is destined to be unforgettable for many people.

Xiao Feng said thoughtfully: "It's just too eye-catching."

Wang Yuyan said: "So what, I can't live in Daliao country for a long time, no matter how attractive I am, as long as I go back to Dal Song, they won't find me."

At the end of the dinner, Yelu Hongji said that they met at the right time, and there will be a good show tomorrow. It turns out that tomorrow is the Khitan warrior's martial arts day.There are vacancies in the commanders of several troops. The rule of the Khitan army has always been that the higher the force, the higher the status, so the new commander will be determined by the contest.

Xiao Feng has always been very interested in martial arts competitions, he also wanted to see the martial arts of the Khitan people, he said: "After seeing tomorrow's martial arts competition, let's leave."

Wang Yuyan said, "Okay."

On the second day of the martial arts performance day, the whole army was extremely excited, and everyone was gearing up to show off their martial arts.

When Xiao Feng saw this kind of martial arts competition, he couldn't help but be elated. He saw Khitan warriors, although they were not as skilled in martial arts as in the Central Plains martial arts, they were very brave, and they had some fighting skills.If everyone in the army is like this, then this army must be invincible and unstoppable.

Yelu Hongji said: "Brother, you have great martial arts skills, why don't you let my courtiers and generals see your martial arts skills, I will confer you whatever military ranks you earn with your own martial arts skills, a good man is the one who makes meritorious deeds At that time, he should serve in the army!"

Xiao Feng said: "Little brother was born reckless, and he is very stupid, how can he be a general or a high official, besides, I am used to being free and easy, being an official is really not suitable for me."

Yelu Hongji saw that this was not his humble words, he pondered for a while and said: "In this case, I will make you a high-ranking official who does not need to do anything. If you are my brother, I will always reward you with glory." Wealthy."

Xiao Feng wanted to say something else, suddenly the sound of horns came from a distance, completely different from the ones he passed by the Khitan military camp before, the sound was urgent and short, but the frequency was very fast, from far and near, a sound came from the camp. Among them, everyone looked in the direction of the sound of the horn, and the sergeants who were fighting fiercely stopped one after another.

Yelu Hongji and all the princes and ministers could not help but stand still when they heard the sound of the horn, and after a moment of recovery, all the faces showed solemn expressions.For a while, there was no sound in the huge martial arts arena.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Feng knew that the meaning of the sound of the horn must be very important.

Yelu Hongji said calmly: "It seems that today's martial arts performance can only end here. After the rebellion is put down, we will reward the meritorious deeds! There are riots in the capital, and all the soldiers follow me to organize the army and leave the camp!"

"Yes!"

As soon as he gave the order, everyone responded, and everyone started to move out of the camp in an orderly manner, without any confusion or crowding.

Xiao Feng still didn't understand why, Yelu Hongji explained: "The sound of the horn is an urgent report of someone committing a riot! There is a big incident in the capital, I have to hurry back."

Originally Xiao Feng and Wang Yuyan planned to leave today, but unexpectedly there was a sudden change.Xiao Feng looked at Wang Yuyan, and saw that she was nodding slightly to him.

Xiao Feng already understood her thoughts, that is, whether to go or stay can be decided by him alone.Xiao Feng felt grateful, he said to Yelu Hongji: "Brother, we will go with you, we will leave after you are safe."

According to Xiao Feng's character, if Yelu Hongji had always been prosperous, he would definitely leave after this reunion, but if he knew he was in trouble, he would not choose to abandon him at this time.

After the army pulled out of the camp, they hurried back all the way, and before they had gone far, the rebels had already greeted them.It turned out that it was the father and son of the Great King of the South Court who made the disturbance!After hearing the news, Yelu Hongji's heart turned cold.This imperial uncle is Yelu Hongji's uncle. Back then, the previous emperor appointed his younger brother as the crown prince, but in the end he passed the throne to his son Yelu Hongji.

Over the years, Yelu Hongji has relied heavily on the father and son of the emperor's uncle, and even made the son of the emperor's uncle the king of Chu, in charge of the military power in the South Courtyard.All important military and political affairs of the Daliao Kingdom were divided between the North and the South.This time the King of the North Court went hunting with him, but he didn't expect the King of the South Court to make trouble in Beijing!In the capital, no one can hold them back!

Once the two sides met head-on, Yelu Hongji personally commanded the battle, and the morale of the imperial camp was greatly boosted. The rebel soldiers saw that the emperor personally supervised the battle in yellow robes and gold armor. Hongji's convenience is a big win.

The rebel army called for gold to retreat, but the king of Chu suddenly put the empress dowager, empress and concubines who were captured in the palace in front of the battle, clamoring for Yelu Hongji to surrender!Seeing his mother's wife and children falling into the enemy's hands, Yelu Hongji felt great grief and shouted: "Mother, I will definitely capture this traitor alive and vent my anger on you!"

The old empress dowager and the empress empress were very stubborn, and the empress dowager even shouted: "Your Majesty, don't succumb to the rebels just because of us women and children, and don't even care about the land and society of Daliao!"
