"Then I have to stay here." Duan Ling said hurriedly, "in case he leaves again."
"Take him with you?" Wu Du said again, "I will carry him back."
"It's too conspicuous." Duan Ling whispered, "It will definitely be questioned by passing soldiers!"
"You'll just have to find an excuse then." Wu Du whispered, "It's just that an old man was saved on the way."
"This is you." Duan Ling touched Wu Du's night clothes and said, "If you carry an old man, the patrol department won't believe it. If you are besieged then, you will be in a hurry."
Qian Qi was already eighty-three years old, and even Duan Ling never imagined that he could live so long. When he was in Runan, he was already over the age of 10. Every day, he was carrying wontons to sell along the street, and it was eight years in the blink of an eye. And miraculously survived.
"Then I'll go and return quickly," Wu Du said.
As the sun rose, the Liao army's investigation became more and more rigorous. They went door-to-door to search to see if any Yuan army was still roaming the city.
"Come on, you can go." Duan Ling said, and walked to the medicine hall again, looking in the window, the old man was still sitting in the hall, holding a bowl in his hand, wondering what he was thinking.
Wu Du jumped onto the roof and left without saying a word. If you go quickly, you will be able to return quickly.
Duan Ling gradually calmed down, thinking of the Duan family, the Duan family is so big, did not even a single person survive? Why did the long-term hire look for Qi Gong instead of Mrs. Duan? Or is it that they have moved their families to avoid the war, and their whereabouts can no longer be traced
Several groups of Liao troops patrolling outside passed by. To prevent anyone from peering into the alley from the street, Duan Ling found him standing alone in a daze, but it was suspicious, so he slowly walked out of the alley and went to the street.
This street has not yet been affected by the war, and the breakfast shops on the two roads are still open, and they have prepared frying pans to sell breakfast.
Duan Ling walked across the street, bought two steamed buns for Qian Qi, put them in his pocket, looked left and right, when he was about to cross the street, he suddenly saw a person.
The man was leading Ben Xiao, standing in the middle of the street, dressed in the dust. Duan Ling thought he was confused, but it was Lang Junxia.
The two stood face to face, and Duan Ling's mind went blank in an instant.
"Finally found you." Lang Junxia said.
This was the third shock he had received in just twelve hours. One after another, every thing surprised him to the point of being speechless. However, he had no chance to think carefully, and did it decisively. Decided - run away!
Lang Junxia took a few steps up, and then caught up.
Duan Ling's only thought was to run! He couldn't be caught by Lang Junxia, and he couldn't let him know the whereabouts of Qian Qi! We must buy time for Wu Independence immediately!
Fortunately, Lang Junxia didn't know what he was doing on the street, but just rushed towards him. This movement has attracted the attention of the people on both sides of the road. Duan Ling rushed to a crowded place and instantly shouted: "Help!"
Not far from the street, the Liao army turned around suddenly, Duan Ling tried his best to run towards the Liao army, Lang Junxia accelerated and flew, like a white falcon swooping, and the distance was nearly ten feet closer in an instant. !
Duan Ling rushed to the approaching horse, and when he looked back, Lang Junxia was actually much faster than him, and quietly bullied him behind him.
Immediately afterwards, Duan Ling rolled on the spot and rolled over from under the belly of the horse. Lang Junxia jumped up, stepped on the horse's head, turned his body and shook the Qingfeng sword away, raised his hand, the sword fell, and blood was flying all over the sky!
Duan Ling got up and could no longer look at it. Wherever there were many people rushing towards it, the Liao army around him gathered and roared, riding on the horse and charging at Lang Junxia. Duan Ling had already run behind the horse and was caught.
Lang Junxia was separated by dozens of Liao troops, and seeing that he could not catch Duan Ling, he immediately turned around and got into the alley and disappeared.
Duan Ling knew that he had just walked to the gate of hell for a while. He couldn't help gasping for breath, but he was caught by the Liao army. Duan Ling struggled and Wu Du was not there. Now he can't be alone, otherwise Lang Junxia will definitely come again. He was impatient, and loudly said in Liao language: "Take me to see Zongzhen! I was the one who rescued him last night!"
Duan Ling knew that Yelu Zongzhen would be suspicious when he went back last night. As long as he mentioned looking for him, then as long as he said this, he would definitely be able to see him!
Sure enough, the Liao army fell silent one after another, and the captain and the guards whispered and left with Duan Ling.
Duan Ling secretly prayed that Lang Junxia must not discover the existence of Qian Qi, and Wu Du and Changliu-jun should go back quickly, otherwise, it is really just resignation...
However, why is Ben Xiao at Lang Junxia's place? !
Duan Ling suddenly thought of a very terrifying thought. Could it be that Changpin was killed? !
The city guard house was heavily guarded, and Duan Ling was brought into the courtyard. The soldiers told him to wait and report first. Duan Ling has become a frightened bird, and he can't stop looking at the surrounding defense situation, thinking that Lang Junxia can break through this layer of defense and chase in. The soldiers in the house are all true guards of Yelu Zong, and they should be able to stop the assassins, otherwise, when the four assassins make a move, wouldn't they kill whoever they want
After a short while, Yelu Zongzhen was shirtless, wearing only a pair of trousers, and let out an extremely excited and meaningless cry, rushed towards Duan Ling and threw him to the ground.
Yelu Zong really laughed, but Duan Ling's face was pale, and his heart was finally safe.
Yelu Zongzhen pressed Duan Ling to the ground and looked into his eyes with tears in them.
"It's really you." Yelu Zongzhen changed to Chinese and said, "I knew I didn't have a dream, Duan Ling, you're back."
At that moment, all kinds of tastes flooded into Duan Ling's heart, and he laughed.
Yelu Zongzhen stood up, took Duan Ling's hand, and dragged him up. Duan Ling asked, "Does your head still hurt?"
"Minor injury." Yelu Zongzhen said, "It's not worth mentioning."
He held Duan Ling's hand tightly and took him into the hall. There was a stove in the hall. Duan Ling wanted Yelu Zongzhen to send someone to look inside the medicine hall. If Qian Qi was sent away, he would give it to Wu Du. Report a letter, but I am afraid that people will leave the city guard mansion and cause Lang Junxia's suspicion.
I was even more afraid that if Wu Du and Lord Changliu were in the same place and let Wu Du enter the city to guard the mansion, it made it clear that Lord Changliu knew that he knew Emperor Liao, and there was no way to explain it.
After thinking about it, Duan Ling had to say: "Zong Zhen, don't be busy asking questions, you have someone bring this thing to the Anrong Pharmacy Hall outside the Northwest Gate, and find a man dressed in party uniforms, with a hat on his hat. A brown goose feather, show him this and bring him here."
Duan Ling handed the bracelet Wu Du gave him to Zong Zhen, Zong Zhen ordered his men to do it, motioned Duan Ling to sit down, with a smile in his eyes.
"I guessed right." Yelu Zongzhen said, "I wrote a letter to your uncle."
"How...how did you know?" Duan Ling realized that he was in danger.
Yelu Zongzhen said again: "Fei Hongde received your letter and brought it to me to read in person. I have read the article you made, the article is yours, and the words are also yours. Last time you called me 'Your Majesty' , now that you call me 'Zongzhen' has confirmed my guess."
Duan Ling: "..."
Yelu Zongzhen ordered the people on the left and right to retreat, and Duan Ling hurriedly said: "Let them strengthen the guard and patrol, someone wants to kill me."
Yelu Zongzhen's face changed, and he explained a few words. The answer was yes. After a while, the doors and windows sounded, and they closed, followed by the sound of footsteps. There was a person guarding each window.
There was a sound when the roof tiles were stepped on. Duan Ling looked up and saw that there were three guards on the roof.
"Don't be afraid." Yelu Zongzhen said, "These are my own troops, all of them are highly skilled in martial arts, even Helian's thirteen guards are not too much."
Duan Ling nodded and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Do you owe me an explanation?" Yelu Zongzhen looked at Duan Ling.
Duan Ling smiled wearily, and looked at Yelu Zongzhen again. In just two years, they had grown up. Although Yelu Zongzhen's changes were not as obvious as Badu's, there was a dash of courage in his eyebrows. It was more obvious and more mature than before.
"Did you plant that peach in the imperial garden?" Duan Ling asked.
"I'll take you to see it another day." Yelu Zongzhen said, "This year the results have come true."
Duan Ling smiled, but Yelu Zongzhen just kept his smile, except for the moment when the two reunited, Yelu Zongzhen did not show any more joy and anger.
"Something to eat?" Yelu Zongzhen said, without urging Duan Ling to explain.
"Come on." Duan Ling sighed, wondering if the soldiers who went to Wu Du had returned.
Yelu Zongzhen ordered it to go down. Someone came in and poured milk tea for Duan Ling and served a large piece of lamb chops. Duan Ling was hungry all night, and then he devoured it. Yelu Zongzhen took out a knife, cut the meat for him, and asked, "Are you drinking?"
Duan Ling shook his head, his mouth was full of food, but his heart was blocked. At the end, he swallowed the food and said, "I'm so tired."
Yelu Zongzhen looked at Duan Ling quietly, Duan Ling filled his stomach and knew that there was no need to hide it from Yelu Zongzhen. With his cleverness, he must have guessed the cause and effect.
"That year my father returned to the south." Duan Ling said to Yelu Zongzhen, "entrust me to Shangjing."
Duan Ling opened his head and told Yelu Zongzhen in detail what happened in the past, until he said that when he returned to Xichuan, someone knocked on the door outside.
"Your Majesty, the person you are looking for has been brought."
The soldier pushed open the door and Wu Du walked in, his expression changed. Duan Ling thought that it was very good, and hurriedly signaled Wu Du not to be impulsive.
Wu Du looked at Yelu Zongzhen, silently, walked to the side and sat down.
"Is he the one who saved you?" Yelu Zongzhen asked.
"Yes." Duan Ling said, then got up, walked to Wu Du and sat down.
"I can't follow you." Duan Ling said, "Even if my position is taken by Cai Yan, I have to go back to the Central Plains. This is the only way I can go."
"You are Nan Chen's heir." Yelu Zongzhen was not surprised after listening to the cause and effect, but smiled, "It should be done."
"Tell me about you." Duan Ling said, "Why did you come here?"
Yeluzong really thought about it and said: "Han Weiyong wants to kill me, this is a game he arranged, he deceived me, but I think this is also God's will, without him, I can't see you. In the next moment of life and death, you will always be by my side, which should be our fate."
Duan Ling: "..."
