Seeing Yelu Hongji beaming with joy, Yelu Dashi immediately knelt down and reported to Yelu Hongji:
"I report to your Majesty that the reason why I am able to survive is because of your blessings to the world, Your Majesty. I, Yelu Dashi, will do his best to be loyal to the Liao Dynasty and the Emperor."
After Yelu Dashi finished speaking, Yelu Hongji's face was filled with joy and he walked back to the palace as fast as flying.
Later, Yelu Dashi, who was only thirteen years old, became King Pingxi of the Daliao Dynasty. He immediately opened a palace in Shangjing City and set up a mourning hall for his adoptive father Xiao Feng.
In the following period, he followed his adoptive father Xiao Feng's instructions before his death. He studied hard, studied hard, and became extremely proficient in Taizu's Changquan and Dragon Claw Hands.
Of course, he was also very grateful for the kindness of his savior Xiao Wuna and His Royal Highness Prince Yelu Yanxi. In his spare time, he went to visit the mansion and helped Xiao Wuna and Yelu Yanxi.
Although the Liao Dynasty had a vast territory and rich resources, Shangjing City was located in the north, and the sunshine from the Central Plains did not shine on Shangjing City in the north of the Great Wall.
However, the cold wind on the grassland blew from time to time. Therefore, after autumn comes, it is exactly what Yelu Dashi said: "Suddenly a spring breeze comes overnight, and thousands of pear blossoms bloom. They scatter into the bead curtains and wet the curtains, and the fox fur is not warm and the brocade quilt is thin."
The Pingxi Prince's Mansion in Nuoda has no servants or servants, and Yelu Dashi, who is used to the bustle, has no one to keep him company. After practicing several sets of dragon claw hands, Yelu Dashi went to wander the streets alone with nothing to do.
However, although this is the city of Shangjing where he was born, it is different from the city of Nanjing where he grew up. There are no towers and pavilions like Nanjing City, nor the vast streets of Nanjing City, nor the actors and actresses of Nanjing City.
From a distance, there are only rows of Khitan tents and herds of cattle and sheep. From time to time, the cry of cattle and sheep can be heard, and from time to time, groups of grassland eagles fly.
In the windy and snowy midwinter, the streets of Shangjing outside the Liao Dynasty's imperial palace were deserted. Yelu Dashi had nowhere to go, so he had to return to his humble Pingxi Palace to practice martial arts and read books.
For more than half a year, first my father, who worked for Xiao Feng, the king of the Southern Academy, passed away, and then my mother passed away. Fortunately, Xiao Feng, the king of the South Academy, cherished his subordinates, so they were later adopted by Xiao Feng.
He finally became Xiao Feng's adopted son, but in less than a day, he lost his relatives again and lost his respected adopted father.
Now, his only relative in the world, the sworn sister Xiao Pu Xiannu, has gone missing after going to Nanjing as a slave. Although he is the Pingxi King of the Liao Dynasty, he has no title, and even his daily expenses have to rely on Xiao Wu. Let the old man help me.
Therefore, the Pingxi Palace that the emperor rewarded was nothing more than a Khitan nomadic tent that was slightly larger than an ordinary commoner's home. Yelu Dashi lay on the cold bed, looking out at the snowy tents, and fell asleep peacefully after a while.
However, in the dead of night, in the eerily quiet capital of Daliao, a strange noise suddenly came from the capital. After a while, the sound of the Daliao cavalry's armor and iron horses covered up the sound of the imperial edict's heavy snow.
Yelu Dashi looked out and saw thousands of Daliao soldiers carrying torches, searching for the rebels one by one.
It had nothing to do with him, so he hung up. After Yelu Dashi yawned, he was about to go back to sleep.
Suddenly, a middle-aged man broke into the door and instantly fell at the feet of Yelu Dashi. Yelu Dashi, who was half frightened to death, yelled and backed away.
At this moment, the middle-aged man suddenly said:
"Yelü Dashi is me. I am Yelu Yanxi."
"Ah ah ah, His Royal Highness, why are you here late at night? The imperial army is searching everywhere. Did something happen?"
After Yelu Dashi finished speaking, the pale Yelu Yanxi said tremblingly:
"Something bad happened. My father passed away. My uncle Yeluqi blocked the palace and wanted to kill me and seize the throne. Yelu Dashi, you have to help me, otherwise Yeluqi's conspiracy will succeed."
"This happened. I never expected that the seemingly benevolent King Yeluqi of Jin would do such a treasonous and unethical thing. However, I, Yelu Dashi, am now very weak. How can I help His Highness Taisun return to the palace to take charge of the overall situation?"
"Alas, there is still Xiao Wuna, a veteran of three dynasties, sitting in the palace, and the civil and military affairs of the entire dynasty are not completely controlled by Yelu Qi. Therefore, as long as I, Yelu Yanxi, do not die for a day, my uncle Yelu Qi will not be able to succeed to the throne."
"Besides, my trusted subordinates Zhang Lin, Xiao Fengxian, Yelu Zhangnu, Xiao Haili, etc., still have three thousand warriors available. As long as I can return to the palace, I can successfully inherit the throne."
"It's just that now Yeluqi has blocked the palace, and the ministers of the court are not allowed to enter or exit. Yeluqi wants to kill me outside the palace. Therefore, the most important thing for us now is to stay alive. As long as we stay alive, we can turn the tide."
After Yelu Yanxi finished speaking, Yelu Dashi glanced outside and saw that the guards who were constantly searching were getting closer and closer to him. Yelu Yanxi also began to worry. After looking around, he wanted to escape.
Yelu Dashi grabbed him and said slowly:
"Your Highness, the snow is falling heavily and it is all white. As long as you go out, you will leave footprints, which is equivalent to telling the rebels where you are fleeing to. Therefore, you cannot leave."
After Yelu Dashi finished speaking, Yelu Yanxi thought it made sense, so he trembled with anxiety. Yelu Dashi was also walking back and forth in his simple tent in Pingxi Prince's Mansion, constantly thinking of ways.
The snow is falling harder and harder, and the rebels are getting closer. At the critical moment, Yelu Dashi pulled Yelu Yanxi and flew out, falling into the river outside the tent.
The bodies of the two smashed the ice on the river. What a coincidence. It was such a coincidence at this time. Unexpectedly, the river has dried up long ago, and there is only a small amount of river water under the ice on the river surface.
Under the ice was an airtight river valley. Although the two men were beaten to pieces, even if the rebels dug three feet into the ground, they could not find them hiding here.
Surprisingly, hundreds of fish were swimming in the small amount of river water. After Yelu Yanxi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, Yelu Dashi understood the idea and caught a few big fish under the ice. Set up fire to cook fish.
Half a day later, Yelu Dashi delivered the roasted delicious food to Yelu Yanxi and said:
"Your Highness Taisun, you must be starving. I can only cook this simple fish feast, so you can make do with it."
After Yelu Yanxi took the fish feast handed over by Yelu Dashi, she smelled it with her nose and said with a smile on her face:
"It smells so good. It smells so good. I grew up in the palace, and this is the first time I know that the fish swimming in the river can be eaten like this."
After Yelu Yanxi finished speaking, he divided the roasted head fish feast into two halves, and the two of them ate it deliciously. Yelu Yanxi, who had never tasted such folk delicacies, was hesitant and had endless aftertaste.
After licking the residue in his hands clean, he said to Yelu Dashi with satisfaction:
"Brother Dashi, now that I am in prison, you could have killed me and dedicated me to Yeluqi to be his minister. But you didn't, which shows that you are sincere. It seems that when I was with my father, I It is right to protect you before the emperor."
"To His Highness Taisun, my adoptive father Bei Qiao Feng said that a great chivalrous man should be extremely loyal and righteous for the country and the people. Therefore, I, Yelv Dashi, have no choice but to sacrifice my life for His Highness Taisun."
After Yelu Dashi finished speaking, Yelu Yanxi patted his shoulder and said solemnly:
"Brother Dashi, if we can get out of this predicament, eradicate the rebels, and help the country. Every year in the early spring from now on, I will summon the Khitan nobles of the Liao Dynasty and the leaders of various ministries to hold a fish feast in a land with abundant water and grass, and pray for me in Daliao. The dynasty, the country, and the people are safe."
After Yelu Yanxi finished speaking, he hugged Yelu Dashi tightly.
