Immersive Travel in Film and Television

After the two brothers recognized each other, Shen Liang introduced Xiao Ai to Yelu Juncai, "Second brother, this is my wife, your sister-in-law Xiao Ai!"

"Sister-in-law?" Yelu Juncai didn't want to acknowledge her, but seeing Shen Liang specifically introducing her, he called out reluctantly. "Hello, sister-in-law!"

"Hello." Xiao Ai could see the contempt in his eyes. She smiled and nodded to him and stopped talking.

She will treat others the same way they treat her, and she won't flatter them just because they are Shen Liang's brother.

Shen Liang saw the contempt in Yelu Juncai's eyes and said seriously: "Second brother, please be more respectful to Xiao Ai! I am able to survive this time thanks to Xiao Ai. If it weren't for her, I'm afraid my body would be cold!"

Upon hearing this, Yelu Juncai straightened his attitude, performed the Liao etiquette to Xiao Ai, and said respectfully: "Sister-in-law! Thank you for always staying by my brother's side and never leaving him!"

"You don't need to thank me. Husbands and wives should never leave each other." Xiao Ai was speechless after saying this. They were strangers who met for the first time. "I'll go over there. You two brothers can talk slowly!"

After saying that, Xiao Ai walked away to give the two brothers some time alone.

Seeing that his brother's attitude had improved a lot, Shen Liang stopped making things difficult for him and started to inquire about the peace talks.

Yelu Juncai naturally did not hide anything from his own elder brother. Regarding this peace talk, the Liao side was mostly focused on war. Because their father, Yelu Liangcai, "died" in the Song Dynasty, they had no plans for peace talks.

"But since Big Brother is back, come with me to see Father!"

"No, 'Yelü Liangcai' is dead, and the dead cannot be resurrected. Do you know what I mean?"

Shen Liang looked at Yelu Juncai meaningfully. You know, it was his death that prevented the war between the Song Dynasty and Goryeo. If he were alive, Goryeo would probably turn its guns on the Liao Dynasty and fight against it.

"This..." Yelu Juncai also thought of this and hesitated for a moment.

"Okay, don't think too much. I came to see you just to hope that you can try your best to promote peace talks with the Song Dynasty. Today, the national strength of the Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty is generally strong, and the number of troops is almost the same. If they fight, it will only benefit the surrounding countries like Xixia.

When you go back, you should persuade your father to think twice and not reject the goodwill of the Song Dynasty because of my affairs! I have lived in the Song Dynasty for so many years, and I really don’t want to see the lives of the people of the two countries suffer. "

Shen Liang spoke seriously.

Yelu Juncai hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother, I will tell father, but where are you going if you don't go back? We must know your whereabouts so that we can feel at ease!"

Shen Liang looked at Xiao Ai not far away with eyes full of doting.

"I plan to settle down with your sister-in-law on the border between Song and Liao. I'll tell you when we're settled!"

"Okay, then it's settled!"

Yelu Juncai and Shen Liang bumped fists and agreed to meet again next time.

Then he rode his horse out of the woods. He wanted to go back and tell his father the good news that his eldest brother was still alive.

Shen Liang walked over to Xiao Ai and squatted down, saying softly, "Come up, I'll carry you back!"

Xiao Ai smiled, threw away the branch she had picked up, and gently lay on his back.

"Is everything settled?"

"Well, I've already told my second brother. I hope my father can actively promote peace."

Shen Liang strolled in the moonlight and carried Xiao Ai back to the inn.

Yelu Chuxiong was very excited when he learned from Yelu Juncai that his eldest son was not dead, and he thought carefully about his son's proposal for a long time.

In fact, the national strength of the Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty is indeed comparable as Shen Liang said, so they can fight or not fight.

Since Shen Liang hopes that the two sides can live in peace, he should consider it carefully.

Of course, this is also because he is the head coach of the peace talks and has the power. If someone else came to the peace talks, he would be powerless and could only give advice at most.

With Shen Liang's instigation, the peace talks between the Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty ended without any major problems.

During the peace talks, the money was stolen and almost caused the failure of the peace talks. At that time, the Liao Dynasty mobilized a thousand soldiers and horses to demonstrate at the border on the grounds that the Song Dynasty had no sincerity.

Fortunately, Pang Tong, the son of Grand Tutor Pang, led 72 cavalrymen to defeat a thousand Liao vanguards.

This made Yelu Chuxiong realize that the Song Dynasty was indeed as powerful as the Liao Dynasty. If a war really broke out, some countries would definitely benefit.

After this incident, the Liao Dynasty gave the Song Dynasty seven days to investigate the peace talks with Jin. After finding out the truth, the peace talks could continue, otherwise there would be no choice but to fight.

After all, the dignity of the country cannot be insulted at will.

When Shen Liang learned that the peace money had been stolen, he quietly went to Shuangxi Town, where the incident occurred, to investigate. Eventually, he discovered several people who had conspired to steal the peace money, one of whom was actually the Liao envoy to the peace talks.

Once the truth came out, the Liao Dynasty had no face to hold the Song Dynasty accountable.

The peace talks ended smoothly without any major incidents.

The Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty have reached peace and there will be no more war in the short term.

After the peace talks ended, Yelu Chuxiong and Yelu Juncai disguised themselves as Song people and came to Shen Liang's home where he had settled down.

They came here to see Shen Liang, who had escaped death, and Xiao Ai, their daughter-in-law whom they had never met.

Yelu Chuxiong did not force Shen Liang to return to the Liao Dynasty. He only told him to ask Yelu Juncai for help if he had any problems. He also left them a considerable sum of money before leaving.

This money can be regarded as Yelu Chuxiong's way of making up for his debt to Shen Liang. His eldest son was sent to the Song Dynasty as an undercover agent when he was young, and later "died" because of this incident. Yelu Liang never had the opportunity to appear in public again.

Of the two sons who stayed with him, Yelu Jun was a general of the Liao Dynasty, and Yelu Wen was the Southern Court King of the Liao Dynasty. Only the eldest son lived in hiding in the Song Dynasty.

Therefore, before leaving, Yelu Chuxiong left Shen Liang more money than he could spend in his lifetime as compensation.

Shen Liang was not interested in the money. He handed it all over to Xiao Ai and then changed his background and identity to enter the yamen.

After investigating and negotiating the gold issue, Shen Liang felt that life in the yamen was suitable for him, and he also liked this kind of life very much.

Xiao Ai unconditionally supported his choice. She used the money left by Yelu Chuxiong to buy a restaurant opposite the government office. This not only increased revenue and reduced expenditure, but also made it convenient for Shen Liang to eat every day.

The lives of the two gradually got back on track, and happy events followed.

Xiao Ai was found to be two months pregnant after the restaurant opened.

When Shen Liang found out, he was so happy that he couldn't stop thinking of a name for his unborn child all night long, but he still hadn't decided on one until the child was born.

Later, Yelu Chuxiong learned from Yelu Juncai that their child was born, and sent someone to deliver the child's name.

Yelu Yan, also known as Shen Yan.

When Shen Yan was one year old, Yelu Chuxiong and Yelu Juncai were too busy to celebrate Shen Yan's birthday, so they sent Yelu Wencai to deliver a one-year-old gift.

After Yelu Wencai came to celebrate his nephew's birthday, he took the opportunity to go to the flourishing literary culture of Jiangnan, where he met his destiny, Xiao Fengzheng.

He was alone when he came to the Song Dynasty, and when he returned, he brought his beloved back to the Liao Dynasty.

Shen Liang and Xiao Ai were both happy to see this happen. Having a princess from the Song Dynasty would be beneficial to the future of the Song Dynasty.
