Conghuo City is ten miles south of Fanyang City. The group bypassed Fanyang City, avoided the official road and went south along the path along the shore of Luoshui. Both sides of Luoshui were covered with reeds. At this time, the reeds had not yet produced reed flowers, but were just a piece of long green grass. But they were able to hide their tracks. Four horses were walking through the reeds. The sun was setting in the west, and the sky and the earth were dim. Suddenly, a whistle was heard, and a dozen people jumped out from the reeds and surrounded everyone.
Dugu Wen smiled and said, "Hey, I also met Jie Dao."
But the leader said: "Amei, why is it you?"
Li Zhuer said coldly behind Princess Jingle: "Isn't this a wife for you, brother?" Her words were cold, and Princess Jingle's mood was even colder at this moment. In front of her were the Khitan Khan and the Governor of Songmo. , Chongshun King Li Huaixiu.
Li Huaixiu crossed his hands to Princess Jingle and said, "Huaixiu pays homage to the princess." Seeing that Princess Jingle didn't speak or move, he asked Li Zhuer, "What's wrong with the princess?"
Li Zhuer said: "I tapped the acupuncture point."
Li Huaixiu said: "Zhu'er, why did you kidnap the princess here?"
Li Zhuer glanced at Lu Panhuan in front of Jiang Shuo and said, "Your wife was having a secret affair with others, and we caught her."
Jiang Shuo thought of Li Huaixiu's impulsive and irritable character, and secretly became more cautious, fearing that he would kill the two of them. Unexpectedly, Li Huaixiu said to Li Zhuer, "First unblock the acupuncture points of the princess and this young master."
Li Zhuer was surprised at why Huaixiu was so calm today. However, Princess Jingle did not know martial arts, and Li Zhuer was not afraid of her counterattack. He unblocked her acupuncture points with a flick of her hand, and Jiang Shuo also unblocked Lu Panhuan's acupuncture points. Princess Jingle's acupuncture points had been closed for a long time. Although her acupuncture points were released, her body was still exhausted. However, she remained true to her character as a fierce woman. She glared at Li Huaixiu and said: "Shameless Hu'er, you actually sent a demon boy to use evil magic to arrest me. Today I will not marry you even if I die, so just kill me and Ipanro!"
Li Huaixiu glanced at Princess Jingle, then turned to Lu Panhuan and said, "It turns out to be Pan Lang of Fan Yang Lu family. What do you say? Would you rather live or die?"
Lu Panhuan originally said that he would definitely die today, but he didn't expect that Li Huaixiu actually said that he was still alive. He got off his horse and knelt down and said: "I wish to live, I wish to live. The sweat has drawn a path, and Lu will follow it."
Jiang Shuo couldn't help frowning after hearing this, and thought to himself: "Looking at the similarities between Pan Lang's features and Lu Yuxuan's, Brother Lu ordered He Shuo, what a hero, why is this younger brother so incompetent?"
Li Huaixiu said: "I know that I am not worthy of Princess Jingle. I should have made it possible for you, but this marriage was given by the sage of the Tang Emperor and cannot be changed."
Lu Panhuan said hurriedly: "Khan, you have misunderstood. The princess and I have nothing to do with each other. You and the princess are a perfect match..."
Princess Jingle scolded him and said: "Pan Lang, do you think you can survive by trying to please him? What happened today is just a matter of death. It is better to share a hole with you than to share a bed with this Khitan dog!"
But Lu Panhuan didn't want to die. He was originally a romantic young man who nestled against the red and green trees, sleeping in flowers and sleeping in willows. Seeing that Jingle was beautiful and the princess who had been betrothed would marry Khitan sooner or later, he wanted to get a ready advantage, so he did this. They had talked about a lot of obscene things in their vows, but they never thought that they would live and die together with this unruly princess. Besides, he was still full of ambitions and dreamed of An Lushan promising to be the master of Fanyang Lu family, so how could he die? He hurriedly said: "Princess, you have misunderstood. I have always admired Khan, how could I do something against human ethics with you?"
Princess Jingle choked and said: "You..."
Li Huaixiu said: "So my sister has misunderstood? You have nothing to do with the princess?"
Lu Panhuan waved his hands repeatedly and said: "No She, No She, I have nothing to do with the princess." After hearing this, everyone shook their heads secretly, and Princess Jingle also said angrily: "Pan Lang, I thought you were an upright man. It seems I was wrong."
Lu Panhuan just wanted to survive at this moment and said: "Yes, the Khan is the indomitable hero. Why should the princess ask for help from others when she has such a hero as her mate?"
Princess Jingle couldn't help but burst into tears when she heard this. She got off her horse and bowed to Li Huaixiu and said: "King Chongshun, I mistakenly believed in this villain. Since he doesn't want to die, just kill me with one knife."
Li Huaixiu said: "The princess is not afraid of death, but is she still afraid of getting married to Huaixiu?"
Princess Jingle raised her head and said with tears in her eyes: "Are you still willing to marry me now?"
Li Huaixiu stretched out his hand to lift her up and said: "To be honest, An Lushan pretended to be out of the city for hunting, but in fact he mobilized a large army to prepare for another expedition against the Khitans. I will return to Songmo soon to lead the people to fight against the An thieves. Princess, if you follow me back to the north The land, I'm afraid, is also in danger."
Princess Jingle burst into tears and said with a smile: "You also said that I am not afraid of death, are you afraid of An Lushan? Besides, I am the princess of the clan, and I don't dare to show off to An Lushan even when I am standing at the top of Songmo City. I shoot an arrow."
Lu Panhuan also said flatteringly: "Yes, yes, I don't want to pester the princess. Why didn't Thief An send me to trip you up so that you and the Khan can't get up and go to Songmo? How can he do it?"
Li Huaixiu heard this and grabbed Lu Panhuan's shoulders and said, "Are you serious about this?"
The strength of Li Huaixiu's hand was astonishing. Lu Panhuan felt pain in his bones when he grabbed him. He took a deep breath and said with all his strength, "I'm absolutely telling you, Khan, please spare my life."
Li Huaixiu let go of his hand, clenched his fist and said angrily: "An thief is so cunning and deceitful, he is really hateful!"
Princess Jingle stepped forward and kicked Lu Panhuan over, saying, "I was so blind that I almost fell into your trick!"
Lu Panhuan allowed Princess Jingle to kick him in the chest, rolled on the dirt, and said, "I hope Princess, Khan will forgive me if I am not the first offender."
Princess Jingle said angrily: "You are like a mangy dog, why should I spare you?"
However, Li Zhuer said coldly on the horse: "Lu Panhuan is from Fan Yang's Lu family and cannot be killed easily."
Princess Jingle was about to scold Li Zhuer, but she was quite afraid of Li Zhuer and did not dare to say anything. Li Huaixiu also said: "There is no evidence for what Mr. Lu said. Now my Khitan's first priority is to fight against the thieves. It is not appropriate to offend local nobles, Mr. Lu, please go back home."
Lu Panhuan couldn't believe it when he was suddenly pardoned. He turned around and looked at Li Zhuer, Jiang Shuo and others. Although everyone showed contempt on their faces, they did not stop them. Only then did he know that it was true. He was overjoyed to be alive after death. Zisheng didn't even say thank you, turned around, kicked deep and shallow in the mud, and headed towards Fan Yangcheng.
Li Zhuer asked Huaixiu, "How did you know we would be here?"
Li Huaixiu said: "I didn't know, we just met here by chance. An Lushan quietly went north today and sent people to surround the palace. But he didn't know that we had already dug a tunnel leading to the outside of the city. After getting the secret report, we followed We landed on the tunnel and left the city.”
Li Zhuer said: "I didn't expect you to have a spy beside An Thief?"
Li Huaixiu said: "You are not the only Khitan around An Thief. There is a Khitan general named Sun Xiaozhe under his command. His mother had an affair with An Lushan and they had to get close. This is the information he passed on."
Li Zhuer said: "In that case, why didn't you go north instead of south?"
Li Huaixiu said: "The An thieves rely entirely on Conghuo City to supply their food and grass. We originally planned to go to Conghuo City to burn his food and grass before heading north."
Dugu asked Nianxu: "My father-in-law once entered Longhuo City. There are indeed several large grain cellars. Xiang'er and his family were locked in an empty grain cellar. But Longhuo City is guarded by Yin Ziqi. What do you guys want?" It would be as difficult as climbing to the sky to burn food and grass."
Li Huaixiu didn't recognize Dugu Wen, so Princess Jingle introduced him from the side: "This is my grandpa Dugu Wen of the Dugu family, and the little girl next to me is my younger sister Dugu Xiang."
Li Huaixiu crossed his hands and said, "Senior Dugu, what do you think we should do?"
Dugu asked: "We happen to be going to the city to rescue people, why don't I help you burn all the food and grass."
Li Huaixiu looked at the skinny old man and couldn't help but murmur in his heart. Dugu Wen saw the doubts in his heart and said, "You don't believe it?" He saw his figure flicker, and there was something in his hand, but it was the dagger under Li Huaixiu's side. Khitan warriors all carry two weapons, a long sword and a short dagger. Each dagger is a personal item and has different decorations. Li Huaixiu knew at a glance that it was his own dagger. Dugu Wen weighed the dagger in his hand and said, "Look Be careful." Li Huaixiu made preparations this time but still felt his eyes blurred. He returned the dagger to its sheath with a hiss under his right side. Just as he lowered his head to check, he felt a slight movement under his left side, and the long knife from his waist was pulled away. Looking up again, Dugu Wen was still standing there, but there was a long black knife in his hand.
Li Huaixiu's long sword was a two-handed sword made of meteorite iron. It was quite heavy, but when Dugu Wen carried it in his hand, it seemed as if it was nothing. Only then did Li Huaixiu realize that he had met a master from outside the world. He turned over and prostrated himself and said, "My father-in-law's martial arts skills are amazing. Huaixiu bows to me. I have offended you with my many words just now. Please forgive me."
Dugu Wen laughed and threw it casually, and flew towards Li Huaixiu. All the Khitan warriors panicked, but saw the long sword return to its sheath with a clang. It was only more accurate than Li Huaixiu himself. The most important hero of the Khitan people, Dugu Wenlu With one hand, all the Khitan warriors bowed down and knelt down to kowtow.
Li Zhuer said: "Huaixiu, do you know that Yi Li Jin and Nie Li of Dadie Lie Mansion were also captured and brought to Cage Fire City?"
Li Huaixiu was shocked and said: "No wonder An Thief chose this time to attack. The Khitan troops all depend on Dayi Li Jin's dispatch. We must rescue him quickly."
However, Li Zhuer said coldly and without emotion: "You should immediately go back to Songmo and go to Conghuo City to save people. Huaixiu, can your kung fu be better than that of Su Zhi and Senior Dugu? How can they save them?" If you don’t come out, it’s useless to have more than a dozen of you. You still have to put the overall situation first and go back to the Khan tent to gather the tribesmen to resist the thieves. We will go to Conghuo City to rescue people and set fires. After the incident is completed, we will go to Songmo to meet you. .”
Li Huaixiu felt good and crossed his hands and said: "Thank you so much for Zhu'er, Su Zhi and Senior Dugu!" He turned around and asked Princess Jingle: "Are you going with me?"
Under the setting sun, Jingle saw Huaixiu's angular face and his heroic spirit in his words. He felt a little happy and said, "Of course I will go north with my husband, but my father..."
Dugu Wen laughed loudly and said, "It doesn't matter. I will explain to you that you were originally granted marriage by the saint to the King of Chongshun. Now you have to obey the authority in a hurry. I don't think there is anything wrong with it."
