It was getting late, Duan Ling remembered the agreement with Cai Yan, Yelu Zongzhen sent someone to send a letter, and asked Cai Yan to come over for a drink. The street outside Qionghuayuan was closed, and Duan Ling felt that something was wrong when he got out of the car.
When Yelu Dashi introduced Li Jianhong in the Xunchun Dynasty, Yelu Dashi was mostly defensive, and now he brought the emperor here, but he still lacked consideration. Duan Ling followed Yelu Zongzhen while thinking, and when he passed the corridor, he met Xunchun unexpectedly.
Xunchun Chao Yelu Zongzhen nodded slightly and said, "Young Master."
The two had never met, and Yelu Zongzhen also concealed his identity, but Duan Ling knew that Xunchun would definitely have a good heart. Qionghuayuan arranged a room for Han Jieli, Yelu Zongzhen took the seat, Yelu Dashi took the seat, and Duan Ling was outside. Sitting and waiting for the summons, taking the towel, and taking the dishes, avoiding hearing their conversation, Yelu Zongzhen didn't call Duan Ling in, but just chatted with Han Jieli.
Ding Zhi came over with wine and vegetables and looked at Duan Ling.
"I'll try it first." Duan Ling said.
Ding Zhi fixed his eyes on Duan Ling, then smiled, and took a small plate of dishes in person and handed them to Duan Ling with slender hands.
Knowing this, Duan Ling had already issued a warning to them not to act rashly. Qionghuayuan will not directly put arsenic | frost in the wine and vegetables, but it is not sure whether it will use any chronic medicine. If you really have the heart, it is really hard to guard against.
The guards outside tried the dishes first, and when they brought them in, Shi Ji Ling tried them again. Fang took it in with his own hands. After the food and wine were served, Yelu Dashi and the others inside were not very loud and could not hear anything. Duan Ling thought it was really troublesome, Han Jieli followed Yelu Zongzhen all the time, never leaving him, so he had no time to discuss with Yelu Dashi, and he had to find a way to get him out of it.
At this moment, he suddenly understood the intention of Yelu Zongzhen to come with him. Not long after, he ordered someone to add a pot of wine, Duan Ling took the wine and went in with it, Yelu Zongzhen did not avoid him, and said to himself: "...If the war lasts for a long time, maybe Zhao Kui will close the jade bi. That way was also adjusted down to cooperate with Li Jianhong..."
Duan Ling stepped on the front of the robe, stumbled on the robe, and half a pot of wine spilled out, spilling half of Han Jieli's body.
Han Jieli: "..."
Duan Ling immediately put down the jug and wiped it off for Han Jieli, but Han Jieli's self-restraint was very good, his anger disappeared in a flash, and he frowned: "Duan Ling, I will punish you three cups."
"Damn it." Duan Ling said with a smile.
Yelu Zongzhen was talking to Yelu Dashi, without looking at Han Jieli, and casually instructed: "Look at Qionghua Courtyard to see if there are temporarily changed clothes, borrow a set to wear first."
"It's always on hand on weekdays." Han Jieli said, "I have it in the car, I'll go get it with my partner."
Duan Ling hurriedly called someone over, made a gesture of "please this way", and took Han Jieli down to change his clothes. The side hall was brightly lit, Duan Ling took the clothes and waited on Han Jieli.
The two of them didn't say a word during the whole process. The side hall was eerily silent, except for the sound of sorting clothes. When Han Jieli finished changing clothes and left the side hall, Fang said the only thing.
"At first I thought that your family didn't look like a business." Han Jieli said, "but it looks like a business."
Duan Ling broke out in a cold sweat, knowing that Han Jieli had seen through his intentions and ridiculed him for being a rare commodity. As soon as he entered the game, he bet on Yelu Zongzhen. This is the brain of a businessman, and it is also the courage of a businessman.
Duan Ling said with a smile, "Young Master Han is joking. The closest person on weekdays is Cai Yan."
Duan Ling also noticed that Cai Yan didn't come, Yelu Zong really said that he would send someone to pass him on, but in fact he didn't, presumably because Cai Yan and Han Jieli had close contacts and didn't want to listen to the corner. When Duan Ling said this, Han Jieli became suspicious, not knowing how to respond for a while. He was clearly taken away, so that Yelu Zongzhen and Yelu Dashi had a chance to talk alone, but secretly said to stand in their Han family's team, what does this mean? Han Jieli was a little confused, but he couldn't see through Duan Ling.
Duan Ling thought that he would never tire of deceit, so let you be confused. Anyway, I am not in your future, so you can go wherever you want.
"This way, please." Duan Ling said.
As soon as Duan Ling's voice arrived, Yelu Dashi and Yelu Zongzhen were ready. When they returned to the hall, Zongzhen said, "You just said it yourself, and you will punish yourself for three cups."
So Duan Ling punished himself for three cups, Yelu Zongzhen looked at him with a smile, and his eyes were quite rewarding.
"As soon as I saw Duan Ling's face, I didn't know why, but I felt that I had a special fate." Yelu Zongzhen said to Han Jieli, "I like him very much."
"Why don't you thank Your Majesty?" Han Jieli said.
Duan Ling was about to go forward and bow down, but Yelu Zongzhen waved his hands and said, "We Liao people don't like this kind of thing, go out and use it, you don't have to wait."
Duan Ling knew that what Yelu Zong should have said had already been said, so he backed out and closed the door. The remaining three people were in the room and walked along the corridor to the side hall. The flute sounded melodiously, and if there was nothing there, it was the song "Meet You Happy" again. Duan Ling couldn't help but think of the time when he came over with his father that day.
He followed the sound of the flute and saw a small building with one or two floors in the pine and bamboo forest, which was where Lang Junxia lived when he took him to Beijing on the first day.
Xunchun sat on a stone chair, dressed in a red dress and played the flute leisurely, while Duan Ling watched. The flute had called him, and only they would know. After a while, the sound of the flute gradually subsided, and it finally ended in nothingness.
The bright moon is in the sky, illuminating the earth on earth.
Duan Ling handed the letter between his fingers, and a maid came over and took it.
I wanted to explain a few things about going to Beijing in the letter, but I expected that with my father's resourcefulness, even if I didn't say it, I could guess.
"The first time I saw you on that winter night, you were still asleep." Xunchun said, "Six years ago, I guessed a little, but I couldn't see it. The second time I saw you, it was in the car. You came up. , called 'Mrs.'"
Duan Ling didn't speak, quietly watching Xunchun.
Xunchun sighed and said, "This aura really looks more and more like the Third Prince."
Duan Ling's voice was already the voice of a man. In the past year and a half, he had grown a lot more. He looked at Xunchun and said, "If you come here like this and put the blame on Yelu Dashi, the North Courtyard will The Han family will be in power. Han Weiyong is in charge of the battle. As soon as the Liao Kingdom sends troops, the south is in danger. Madam, remember not to act rashly and think before you act."
After Duan Ling finished speaking, he bowed respectfully to Xunchun, Xunchun hurriedly got up and returned the salute, Duan Ling didn't speak, and just left.
In the hall, we staggered and drank wine for a while. In the middle of the night, they each came out and got into the car. Yelu Dashi left first, leaving Han Jieli and Yelu Zongzhen.
"I will send you." Yelu Zongzhen said to Duan Ling, and then ordered Han Jieli: "Han Qing go back first."
The carriage was driving on the long street in the middle of the night, and Yelu Zongzhen was a little drunk.
"What tree is this?"
When Duan Ling got off the car, Yelu Zongzhen accidentally caught a glimpse of a branch sticking out of the courtyard wall.
"Report to Your Majesty, Peach Tree," Duan Ling replied.
"In the eyes of you Han people, everything is beautiful." Yelu Zongzhen's mouth was slightly tilted, and he said, "Peach's Yaoyao is shining brightly."
Duan Ling smiled, and Yelu Zongzhen ordered again, "Go back."
Duan Ling bowed and got out of the car. Yelu Zong really didn’t say anything this way. Instead, this silence seemed to be a tacit understanding. When he returned home, Duan Ling sighed and the only feeling was: very tired.
The unspoken and unspoken information rolled into a vortex that came too fast for him to think about. He suspected that Yelu Zongzhen didn't have much hope in the first place, and it was not until he took Han Jieli out of the hall that he decided on the future direction of Liao and Chen.
As he thought, he entered the house, and when he walked to the yard, he suddenly heard a very soft and very soft sound outside.
If it was in the past, he might have only regarded it as the sound of a cat stepping on it, but this light sound aroused his alertness - it was the sound of an assassin stepping on a tile and leaping with strength. It will make this light sound.
"Who?" Duan Ling said solemnly.
The sound disappeared, perhaps due to intuition, Duan Ling immediately took the sword from the courtyard, went out of the long street again, and chased Yelu Zongzhen's carriage away!
assassin! He caught a glimpse of a dark shadow, followed by a few soft sounds. The driver was shot with an arrow in the neck, and then was killed by a sword. The assassin stabbed the car with a sword. Yelu Zongzhen had already jumped out of the car window, and the assassin chased forward. With a flick of the long sword, Yelu Zongzhen's sword was instantly swept away!
Without any hesitation, Duan Ling jumped onto the stone lion, rolled over the wall, and fell into the courtyard by the street.
Yelu Zongzhen turned around and ran, and then the assassin's next sword stabbed Yelu Zongzhen's back.
Suddenly, the roadside courtyard door opened, and another sword swept out from the door, which happened to be aimed at the assassin's sword. The assassin was pointed a little bit off the path of the sword, and brushed past Yelu Zongzhen's neck. Duan Ling took out the sword with one hand. The other hand grabbed Yelu Zongzhen's arm and dragged it, and the two immediately switched positions.
In a flash of lightning, Duan Ling and the masked assassin exchanged their lives for their lives.
Duan Ling pointed a sword at his throat, and the masked man suddenly withdrew his sword and changed his palms. Duan Ling used all his strength to strike out with his palms sideways, but the masked man would retreat without touching the ground and lead him. With all the strength of the move, Duan Ling lost his balance and fell to the ground.
"Who!" A lot of people suddenly rushed out, protecting Duan Ling and Yelu Zongzhen in the middle.
The masked man no longer reluctant to fight, flew over the wall, and disappeared into the night.
"Duan Ling!" Yelu Zongzhen stepped forward and pulled Duan Ling up. Duan Ling staggered and turned to look around.
"Who is that?" Duan Ling said, "I heard a noise outside the door, so I chased after him to have a look."
Yelu Zong really shook his head, fearing that there was still an ambush nearby, and said to the four guards in night clothes, "Who are you?"
A circle of guards knelt down, and one of them said, "North Courtyard. After I just came out of Qionghua Courtyard, someone from the Han family has been following His Majesty, spying on His Majesty's direction. In order to stop the follower of the Han Family, our subordinates were blocked. It is one step later, sin deserves ten thousand death."
Yelu Zongzhen said: "Go back and tell you, Your Majesty, to clean up this place."
After speaking, Yelu Zongzhen whispered to Duan Ling: "Don't tell anyone."
Duan Ling nodded, Yelu Zongzhen nodded, signaled Duan Ling to rest assured and left.
