The news that the envoys from the south had arrived in Yuan'an Town alarmed the whole world. Su Hebalu went out of the tent to greet them, and called Liang Xuanchen and Su Mingyue out to meet the envoys, so that the envoys could bring the letter back and bring money and goods. Redemption.

Li Mingtang looked at Liang Xuanchen with mixed feelings, while Su Mingyue looked at Li Mingtang with mixed feelings.

Of course, they can act excited, but they can only pretend not to know each other. After chatting a few words, Liang Xuanchen proposed to have a private talk with Li Mingtang. Although Suhebalu agreed, he ordered his cronies to follow him Monitor from the sidelines.

Several people moved to Liang Xuanchen's tent to talk, Lianxiang was also very excited when she saw Li Mingtang, she hugged the girl in her arms and waved to Li Mingtang, "This is an uncle from my hometown, he came to take us home."

After Su Mingyue entered the tent, he began to speak to Li Mingtang in Wu Nong's soft language. Su Hebaru's confidant who could speak Chinese was a little dumbfounded. He could speak Chinese, yes, and he could even speak the official dialect of the capital. , but what Su Mingyue said was not all the official dialect of the capital, and it seemed to him that it was very difficult for him to listen to the detours.

Sure enough, Su Mingyue invited Li Mingtang to talk in the inner tent, but Suhebaru's cronies didn't understand, and several people entered the inner tent in front of him.He was about to go forward when Lianxiang stopped him and said with a smile: "Brother Almu, are you cold? I'll get the charcoal brazier, you can sit here, there is no passage in the inner tent for them to escape. You can rest assured. My master will naturally have a lot to say when he meets the people from his hometown, so let them get together."

Han Yunnong suddenly wobbled over and hugged Almu's legs. She raised her head, staring at the big Mongolian man in front of her with a pair of gurgling black eyes, and then showed an innocent smile, which instantly melted the man in the iron mask heart.

The three people who entered the inner tent sat down together, Su Mingyue poured hot milk tea for Li Mingtang, and said, "There's nothing to entertain, this is all I have, I wonder if you're used to it?"

Li Mingtang looked at the oily and strong-smelling milk tea, but didn't move.

Su Mingyue picked it up by herself and drank it in small sips: "I know Master Li has a feud with Third Master Liang, you won't take this opportunity to be unfavorable to Third Master, will you?"

Li Mingtang said: "Where did you think of me, if I have a feud with Mr. Liang, we will go back to the pass to settle accounts. Besides, I came here this time not only to save Mr. Liang, but also to take you Bring back."

Su Mingyue said again: "Thank you, Master Li. Then do you know how my husband, Dong Yiming and Dong Liuye have been doing recently? At that time, the Songcheng army went east to block the Jurchen, and I have lost her news since then. How is the fight going, is she okay?"

For the time being, Li Mingtang will not mention the fact that Liang Guanjing changed from male to female, and not only gave birth to the second son, but also recognized the eldest son. Although the emperor has not registered the crown prince yet, it has long been rumored among the people that the prince who has been living outside has returned to the palace. If these Speaking irrelevant words, Su Mingyue didn't know what to think, so he whispered: "She's fine, she's here this time."

Su Mingyue was startled, "Where is she?"

"It's not convenient for her to show up now. Anyway, you pack your things and wait for her to pick you up."

When Su Mingyue heard this, hot tears dripped from her eyes. She drank tea to cover it up, and the tears melted into the tea.

Liang Xuanchen said from the side: "How many troops did you bring over this time?"

Li Mingtang said: "Master Chang has enough soldiers for us to carry out a surprise attack, but the main force is still lying in ambush dozens of miles south of Yuan'an, if it is exposed, all previous efforts may be wasted."

Liang Xuanchen said: "He's here? What about others?"

Li Mingtang hesitated for a while and didn't say it directly, he just smiled and said: "Am I stupid? He came to rescue his lover, so I insisted on following."

Liang Xuanchen said: "Are you looking for an opportunity to attack me? Anyway, I am blind. I have few chances to ambush you. It is easy for you to kill me."

Li Mingtang said: "I used to be afraid that you would find him to seek revenge, but now I understand that you really don't hate him for poisoning and blinding you, and you are in love with each other, what else can I do?"

Liang Xuanchen said: "Who said I hit it off with him?"

Li Mingtang's eyes widened, "Huh? He also said that in the Spring Festival that day you..."

Liang Xuanchen sneered, "That's nothing, you don't have to take it to heart, I will persuade him to live with you, I told him, we are not suitable, I told him earlier, it was his wishful thinking."

Li Mingtang regained his energy in an instant, and said pretendingly: "Don't speak too bluntly, so as not to make him sad, he has put in a lot of effort this time, and he came to Beidi to rescue you, but you haven't been rescued yet." Well, don’t let him listen to what you say.” After finishing speaking, his face sank, “You are not coaxing me, I’m afraid I will get in the way and refuse to cooperate.”

"If you want to get in the way, can he spare you?" Liang Xuanchen was confident in himself, "You, even if you are controlled by him to death, you still have a bit of backbone? When I go back, I have to let him obey you." , if he doesn't follow, anyway, I don't plan to see him again in the future. My brain hurts when I see him. "

Seeing that they were talking nonsense, Su Mingyue simply hated iron and steel, "Can we talk about business?"

Li Mingtang wiped his face, with a righteous expression on his face: "Speaking of business, our people are outside Yuan'an Town, dressed up as Tatars from the west to sneak attack, and now we want to lure Suhebalu over to take advantage of his unpreparedness." Then..." He made a cutting motion. "Once he died, Na Risong took his place, and he could pretend to avenge the Great Khan and chase him dozens of miles away, so that he could take over all the people under Suhe Baru. Na Risong and you Be good, for the sake of helping him seize power, I will always let you go back. I am afraid that he will think you are a talent and be reluctant to let you go."

"No matter how talented I am, I can't use it. I'm a Han." Liang Xuanchen pondered, "It seems that Chang Qinghe knows what I mean in the letter, but now he is helping Na Ri Song get rid of Su Hebalu, and Na Ri Song will become a climate in the future. , I’m afraid it’s a future trouble for our northern border. Then what we did today is a little sinful.”

Li Mingtang said: "Now we can only take one step at a time."

Su Mingyue said: "Third brother is worried that Nari Song will become a future trouble in the northern border, but I am worried that Na Ri Song will treat you as an opponent. In order to avoid future trouble, he may have murderous intentions against you today."

"I will be careful." Liang Xuanchen nodded, and turned to Li Mingtang: "Do you have a detailed plan, do you need me to do anything?"

Li Mingtang said: "Now we have to try to lure Suhebalu to the ambush point, which is quite troublesome. It's cold, why would he go out of the city for no reason?"

Su Mingyue thought for a while, "You just said that Dong Yiming is also here, but you found out earlier that she is actually..."

Li Mingtang nodded: "That day in the Spring Festival, the Queen and Uncle Guo met, I saw it with my own eyes."

Su Mingyue said: "I came up with an idea to lure Suhebalu out of Yuan'an Town."

The two men looked at her together.

"But we need to work together to put on a big show."

Liang Xuanchen said: "What's your idea, let's talk about it quickly."

Outside, Almu tried to drive away Han Yunnong who was entangled in his legs, and shouted: "Go, go!"

Han Yunnong was not afraid of him, stretched out his hand to pull his beard, and "giggled" coquettishly.

Lianxiang said: "Isn't our Nong Nong very attractive? I have never seen a child over one year old who is so smart and cute."

Almu said: "I only have three sons, no daughters."

Lianxiang said: "Then do you like your daughter? Tell your woman to have another one."

While talking, the three people in the house came out, Su Mingyue was still wiping away tears, and kept begging his hometown to send someone to send a ransom quickly so that they could go home.

The envoys stayed for two or three days and then set off to go back. Winter was coming, and they had to set off before then, otherwise it would be very difficult to leave due to the freezing weather.

How did they know that the mission group set off in the morning, turned back halfway in the evening, and came to Sukhbaru again.

Li Mingtang was startled and said that something strange happened on the way, he didn't dare to continue walking, and he wanted to stay here for a while longer.Sukhbaru was afraid that they would stay here and that the dozens of people would spend a lot of money on food and drink, so he inquired about what strange things happened to the envoys on the way.Li Mingtang first pretended to be mysterious and said that he did not dare to publicize it, but finally he was forced to explain the reason. He said that on the way back, the north wind suddenly stopped, the sun was shining brightly, and a huge mirage appeared in front of him.

Sukhbaru said: "Impossible, it is winter now, and the mirage only exists in summer."

Li Mingtang patted his thigh, "Let me just say, there is a vision in the sky. This is not an ordinary mirage. Dozens of us have seen it. If you don't believe me, ask."

An entourage of the envoy next to him also nodded repeatedly, "I have never seen such a mirage in my life. It is not a river, a lake, or a sea, but a beautiful woman."

Sukhbaru also found it incredible.

Li Mingtang said: "I'm afraid I've encountered a fox demon. There is a saying in my hometown that if you encounter a fox demon, your life will be hooked. I'm afraid that I won't be able to go home, so I'll come to you for the time being." Avoid here."

Suhebalu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "The fox demon from your hometown still chased me to Sarechuan?"

Li Mingtang just said: "If you don't believe me, go and have a look."

Naturally, Suhebalu refused to go in person, so he ordered several guards to go and have a look at the place Li Mingtang said.The guards went to have a look, and said that there was indeed a lonely woman standing on the hill on a horse. They got close, and she was neither afraid to run away, nor approached for help, but kept a certain distance from them.When they caught up, she rode away and ran away again, unable to catch up.

The news that this beautiful woman, or the so-called fox demon appeared in the southeast of Yuan'an Town spread like wildfire. No matter how hard you chase, you can't catch up, and you always keep a certain distance from people.It is very strange to be able to see her beautiful appearance but not be able to get close to her.

It was the night when Liang Xuanchen exclaimed in the tent. Soon after, Suhebalu heard the report from the guards, saying that he had suddenly regained his eyesight and recognized his face when he saw people. He also said that Suhebalu's tent was not golden. .He said that he had a dream at night, dreaming of a beautiful woman who obviously looked like a Han Chinese, but was walking on the grassland wearing a red wedding gown of a Mongolian bride and a beaded crown on her head.He also went up to talk to her, she said that she is a fairy from heaven and earth, who will come to the world to be a queen, if anyone marries her, he will be able to rule the Central Plains in the future, become the emperor, and rule from Hara and Lincheng to the South China Sea of vast land.After he woke up, his eyes came back to life. Suhe Baru didn't believe it, so he put on his clothes and went to see Liang Xuanchen himself.

Liang Xuanchen said regretfully, just now he was able to see clearly, but suddenly his eyes went dark and he went blind, and he told Suhebalu about the scene in his dream.

The guard beside Suhebalu said: The woman they saw was dressed like this, she looked like a Han Chinese, but she was wearing a Mongolian bride's wedding dress, she was very beautiful, extremely beautiful, she had never seen such a beauty.Suhebalu was very itchy when he heard the news, although his wife was very angry when she heard the news, because Suhebalu was obviously very excited about marrying a fairy and then becoming the emperor of the Central Plains.Think about it, from the Hari and Lincheng established by Genghis Khan to the vast land of the South China Sea.I heard that the city was set on fire by the founding emperor of the Southern Dynasty, and the fire burned for dozens of days, almost destroying the entire grassland.

The next day Suhebalu decided to bring his guards to see it for himself, and he chose it at noon, because Li Mingtang said that foxes are most likely to cause trouble in the middle of the night.Whether it's a fairy or a fox, in short Suhebalu decided to take a look.

Li Mingtang, Su Mingyue, Lianxiang and others carried their children and watched the team leave Yuan'an Town. Although Liang Xuanchen couldn't see it, he seemed to see it, showing a knowing smile.

Li Mingtang shook his head and sighed, "Miss Su, I admire you. Hey... You said that we followed the empress all the way here and stayed with her every day, why couldn't we come up with such a plan?"

Su Mingyue and Lianxiang looked back at him together, everyone agreed, only Liang Xuanchen cleared his throat uncomfortably, thinking he was ashamed.
