Traveling through time and space to become a child, supporting the family by catching fish and shrim

He Jinling frowned and said, "If we follow what you said, wouldn't it be more in the interests of our dynasty if we secretly let Yelu Zongwang go along the way?"

"If Yelu Zongwang can gather the khans of the other tribes, the Liao Kingdom will be plunged into internal strife. Our dynasty might be able to seize this opportunity to reclaim our homeland in the north."

Chen Lang nodded and said, "That's the theory, but the problem is, our mission is to send the princess to Liao Kingdom for a tour and then bring her back."

"Disrupting the succession to the Liao throne is a secondary task."

"But if the secondary mission can't be completed, the primary mission is also impossible."

At this point, Chen Lang threw a LeBron James tantrum: "So this mission is very twisted."

He Jinling bowed and said, "Sir, I have benefited a lot from your words."

Chen Lang returned the greeting and said, "Brother, you are too kind. In fact, I am so cautious only because I want to protect my family."

"If Yelu Zongwang escapes or dies on the way, my mission will be considered a failure."

"So I have to be careful."

He Jinling said, "Sir, my name is He Jinling. From now on, you can just call me by my first name."

Chen Lang said, "Okay. From now on, I'll have to trouble Brother He to work hard and keep an eye on Yelu Zongwang."

"It's my duty." He Jinling said.

Chen Lang looked up at the sky and said, "It's time to set off. We'll try to enter the Liao border by evening."

He Jinling returned to the carriage and Qu Huai'en whistled.

All personnel gathered immediately and the convoy headed towards the Liao Kingdom again.

After dark, the convoy arrived at the border checkpoint of Liao State.

He Jinling had already blocked Yelu Zongwang's mouth, tied his hands and feet, and hid him in a secret compartment in the carriage.

Chen Lang used the tried and tested method of "money to pave the way" and spent one hundred taels of silver to allow the convoy to pass the checkpoint smoothly.

Of course, the reason why he was so generous was because the money belonged to the court, not his own.

After entering the territory of Liao, they drove about ten miles and checked into an inn within the territory of Liao.

Because it is very close to Dayan, the style of this post station is almost a copy of Dayan Post Station.

Chen Lang was in a trance and thought he was still in Dayan.

After eating and drinking, Chen Lang did not rush to rest, but sat in the yard, quietly waiting for the arrival of the wedding convoy.

According to the agreement, both parties need to meet here and then set off together.

After waiting for about half an hour, a huge convoy slowly arrived.

Chen Lang stood on the stool and looked back, and was surprised to find that the wedding procession had at least ten carriages. In addition to the people sitting in the carriages, the accompanying personnel outside the carriages, whether walking or riding horses, numbered at least three hundred people.

At this moment, Chen Lang finally understood what Li Junhui meant by "state marriage".

This is quite a grand occasion.

The post station certainly couldn't accommodate so many people, so the caravan camped about two miles outside the post station.

Only the princess' carriage and more than ten personal guards arrived at the post station.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Chen Lang?" The commander of the guards stepped forward and asked with a bow.

Chen Lang said, "That's me. The room has been arranged. Princess, you can go and rest now."

"Thank you." After the guard said this, he waved behind him.

The coachman took out the horse stool and helped the princess get off the carriage.

The princess, dressed in gorgeous clothes, walked out of the carriage with the help of her maid.

Seeing Princess Yongjia's appearance, Chen Lang was not surprised at all.

When I was in Qinzhou Prefecture, I had actually guessed about 70% of it. Now I have completely dispelled that last bit of doubt.

However, when Princess Yongjia saw Chen Lang, her pretty face was full of surprise.

"It's you?"

Chen Lang smiled and said, "Didn't anyone tell you in advance?"

Princess Yongjia said, "My brother the Crown Prince told me that my father has found me a very powerful person who can..."

Chen Lang quickly made a gesture to keep quiet.

Princess Yongjia suddenly realized that this was not Dayan, but Liao.

"But no one has ever told me who it is."

"All along the way, I've been wondering what kind of person could receive such a high evaluation from the Emperor."

Chen Lang asked: "So how do you feel when you see me now?"

Princess Yongjia sighed: "It's over..."

Chen Lang said: "How come it's over?"

Princess Yongjia curled her lips and said, "You can only write some poetry. What use will it be in Shangjing?"

"Even if the people of Liao like our Central Plains culture, they can't solve my problems with poetry, right?"

Chen Lang asked, "Have you ever heard a sentence?"

Princess Yongjia asked, "What?"

"The pen and the sword pay for the spring and autumn with blood." Chen Lang said: "Poetry is sometimes the most powerful weapon."

Princess Yongjia: "Hehe..."

Chen Lang said, "By the way, how come I haven't seen the guy named Geng who protected you last time?"

Princess Yongjia said, "Oh, you mean Geng Zhong."

"He wanted to escort me, but my father didn't agree and transferred him to the south."

Chen Lang said, "I understand. I guess Your Majesty is worried that General Geng might elope with you while escorting you."

Princess Yongjia rolled her eyes and said, "Nonsense, I have no interest in him."

Seeing the two chatting more and more excitedly, the guard leader hurriedly stepped forward to interrupt and said, "Your Highness, it's getting late. You should rest."

Princess Yongjia said, "I know. You're so nagging."

"Chen Lang, come with me, I have something else to tell you."

The guard leader said, "Princess, this is inappropriate..."

Princess Yongjia said angrily, "I am the princess, I am the boss here, whatever I say is fine."

"Besides, Chen Lang is the special envoy for the bride. There's nothing wrong with this princess communicating with him."

The commander of the guards had no choice but to nod in agreement.

After the princess entered the post station, the guard leader whispered, "Master Chen, the princess is getting married soon. Please be more careful."

Chen Lang sighed: "You are more annoying than Geng Zhong."

After saying that, he caught up with Princess Yongjia and entered the room together.

However, the two of them were not alone, as they were served by two personal maids.

After laying several layers of cushions on the bed, the maid let the princess sit on it.

Princess Yongjia took off her shoes, hugged her calves with both hands, and rested her chin on her knees, looking worried. "Chen Lang, can you really bring me back from Liao?"

Chen Lang said: "Your Highness the Princess..."

"There are no outsiders here, so don't call me Your Highness." Princess Yongjia interrupted Chen Lang and said, "Just like in Qinzhou Prefecture, call me Ying'er."

Chen Lang said: "Isn't this a bit bad?"

Ying Er curled her lips and said, "Why have you become so rigid? It doesn't matter if we call each other that in private. In public, just call me princess."

Chen Lang said: "That's right."

Ying Er said, "You haven't answered my question yet. Can you really bring me back from Liao? I don't want to spend my next life eating sand on the grasslands."
