At the same time that Li Xingyun released Yelu Yaoguang, the generals stationed in Shuozhou and Huanzhou, Yelu Zhanlie and Yelu Diqi, also received orders from Yelu Bei.
Yelu Yaoguang and Queen Yingtian must not be allowed to meet!
"You have also seen what His Highness King Dongdan meant. I received news that Li Xingyun released Yelu Yaoguang at Yanmen Pass."
Yelu Lie's eyes flashed fiercely as he looked at Yelu's enemy.
"Well, I'm going to intercept Yelu Yaoguang!"
Yelu Diqi nodded, grinned, and squeezed out a cruel smile on his fleshy face.
"Then I will intercept and kill those people who are migrating south. In this way, even if you miss, Li Xingyun will definitely not let Yelu Yaoguang go!"
Gently brushing his braided beard, Yelu Zhanlie finalized the matter.
"I won't fail!"
Yelu Diqi shouted in a deep voice, then turned and left.
Soon after, Yelu Zhanlie and Yelu Dici took separate actions. One pointed the finger at the people moving south, and the other pointed the finger at Yelv Yaoguang who was moving north.
But the two parties who were facing this danger were not aware of the danger at all.
The roads from Shuozhou and Huanzhou to Daizhou were filled with people in a hurry.
They may be anxious, but their faces are more filled with joy and hope that they will soon be out of the clutches of the devil.
They may have left their hometowns when they went south, but compared to their hometown, which was already full of ferocious Khitan barbarians, the Central Plains in the south was more kind to them.
Ever since they knew that Tang Prince Li Xingyun was willing to exchange a captured Khitan prince for them, the common people, they were all grateful and excited.
At night, under the bleak cold wind, tents were set up one after another, and bonfires were lit on both sides of the road.
However, not all people who moved south had tents or firewood to light bonfires.
A woman and two children, a boy and a girl, were at a loss in a small open space, shivering in the cold wind.
"Mom, I'm cold!"
The little girl huddled in the woman's arms, still shivering from the cold.
"Mom, I'm not cold!"
The little boy in the woman's arms was breathing hot air, his face was red from the cold, and his body was also shivering from the cold.
However, he didn't want to worry his mother, so he suppressed saying things that went against his conscience.
However, how could a woman holding two children in her arms not know how cold the children were?
The coldness on the child's body was transmitted to her body bit by bit, and together with the bleak cold wind, it eroded her unkind body. She was colder than anyone else.
But there was no other way. For the sake of her children, she had to grit her teeth and endure it.
He took the two children to a tent, protected the two children between himself and the tent, and gave the two children maximum warmth. Then he took out a small dry biscuit and divided it into two. Half of it was given to his two children respectively.
"Be good, eat something and you won't feel cold anymore!"
The woman was actually so cold that she wanted to shiver, but she tried her best to control her coldness and tried to keep her voice gentle, but still a little stiff.
The two children were indeed hungry, so they started to eat the dry biscuits.
Watching her two children eating dry biscuits, the woman's eyes were full of bitterness and relief, but her throat moved unconsciously, making a small swallowing sound.
Obviously, she was also hungry, hungrier than the two children!
But she had to endure it, because there was only so much dry food. If she ate more, her two children would eat less.
Suddenly, the little boy who was eating dry biscuits stopped.
"What's wrong with Hong'er? Are you swallowing? Come drink some water!"
The woman quickly found a kettle and let the little boy drink water.
The little boy did not drink the water, but quietly handed the dry biscuit in his hand to the woman: "Mom, you eat too!"
The little girl was younger than the boy and didn't understand this, but followed her brother's example and handed the dry biscuits to the woman.
The woman looked at her children blankly, her eyes could not help but feel sore, her eyes gradually became moist, and her vision was a little blurry.
She wanted to cry, but she had to be strong in front of her children.
He reached out to wipe the tears from the corner of his eyes on his sleeve, gently nibbled some crumbs from the dry biscuits in his children's hands, and said with a suppressed cry: "Good boy, good boy, eat it!"
After saying that, he hugged the two children tighter and took two bites of dry biscuits. Inexplicably, they no longer felt cold.
Feeling the movement of people in the tent, he hugged the two children who were eating dry biscuits in his arms a little tighter. He took out all the clothes in the bag and put them on the two children, or draped them on the children. hands to shield them from the cold wind as much as possible.
She wasn't someone who couldn't let go of her figure or face, but the tents and campfires were crowded with people.
Faced with the cold weather, everyone was hugging each other for warmth. She, an unrelated person, couldn't squeeze in. No one would enjoy less warmth and endure more cold for her and her children.
This world is like this, it has never been better!
Others praised Tang Prince Li Xingyun for being so benevolent and righteous, so powerful, and for his great ideal of reviving the prosperous Tang Dynasty. But she didn't think so. She felt that if that prince was really benevolent and righteous, really powerful, and really great, he would be a great person. We should send troops to take back Shuozhou, Huanzhou, and Yingzhou, instead of letting people like them leave their homes and move south!
They say they are benevolent and righteous, they say they are powerful, they say they are great, but in the final analysis they just don't dare to fight the Khitans and are ready to give up on the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.
Cursing in my heart, those meat eaters are always like this, benevolent and righteous on the surface, but mean on the inside.
The inexplicable warmth that surged in her body was gradually covered by the cold, but the woman felt her eyes heavy and a little tired.
Subconsciously, she hugged the baby in her arms tighter. She didn't want to sleep, but her body seemed to be no longer under her control...
"Sister-in-law? Sister-in-law? Wake up, wake up!"
Suddenly, she seemed to hear someone calling her.
Was it a man's voice calling her? She had some doubts.
"Sister-in-law, wake up, don't you want your children?"
The voice sounded again, and in her blurred vision, two dolls appeared in front of her, and the words "Mother" gradually became clear in her ears.
The woman woke up suddenly and saw the two children beside her, holding them in her arms in fear.
She almost left her child!
If she left, how could her two children survive on this freezing road?
For a while, fear surged up in my heart, and I hugged the two children tightly in my arms. The two children obediently remained silent and allowed their mother to hold them.
After a while, the woman took stock of her surroundings.
She and the children seemed to be in a tent...
