On the way, Le Yiyang talked about saying goodbye to Chu Yusheng. Lai Jiyun smiled and said, "That old man Chu Yusheng deliberately teased you. Do you think he is kind-hearted!" Le Yiyang asked with a puzzled face and said, "Miss Lai, I don't understand. Please tell me clearly." Lai Jiyun said, "Chu Yusheng first praised you, saying that you have good qualifications, and then asking you to attend the martial arts conference. How can you refuse?" Le Yiyang thought carefully, it was true, but he thought that attending the martial arts conference was what he said in person last night, and everyone present had witnessed it. It cannot be said that Chu Yusheng deliberately set up a trap to let him go in.

Seeing all his thoughts, he spoke, "Young Master Le, don't worry. You still have one year left, so you can practice martial arts well."

Le Yiyang thought of the four words "humility, politeness" that Chu Yusheng said, and was stunned. He knew that he had penetrated his identity and said worriedly: "Miss Lai, I am just a scholar, how can I know any martial arts? Practicing martial arts is a long-term process. Even if I start studying now, what can I learn in a year or two? However, a gentleman's word is as good as a horse. Lai, even if I go to the martial arts conference, I will definitely go to the martial arts conference."

Seeing that his expression was dark, Lai Ji Yun comforted him and said, "Young Master Le, Yun'er doesn't think so. It is true that practicing martial arts requires time to accumulate, but what is more important is talent. Some people can practice peerless martial arts in three or five years, while some people are only good at knowing some superficial skills for their whole life." Le Yiyang nodded and agreed, "What Lai Girl said is true. There is no way out of nowhere, so why should I worry about the sky here? Let's take a step and then look." Lai Ji Yun smiled and said, "It's best if Mr. Le thinks like this. There are wild beasts in the wilderness here, so we should hurry up." Le Yiyang said, "Okay, it's important to go on the road." After that, the two rode their horses and drove quickly in the woods.

After two hours, the sun had risen to the sky. Now it was winter. The warm sunshine shone on her body, and she looked particularly energetic. After walking for more than ten miles, Le Yiyang and Lai Jiyun finally left the Jingye Mountain Realm.

Leaving Jingye Mountain and walking five miles eastward, you will see a winding river. The river comes from the northwest, with less than twenty feet wide, and the banks are covered with thatched grass of all people. After crossing this river, traveling more than a hundred miles southeastward, you will reach Weizhou City. It is almost noon, and the river is sparsely populated. The two walked along the river for several miles before vaguely seeing a convertible boat drifting with the waves on the water plants near the shore.

Le Yiyang and Lai Jiyun walked forward and found a young man who was dozing on the side of the boat. Lai Jiyun went up and patted his shoulder and asked, "Hey! Are you still driving the boat now?" The young man woke up immediately after being slapped by her like this. He rubbed his eyes with his hands and replied listlessly, "Sister, you want to cross the river, I will drive the boat. But it takes five cents to go."

Lai Ji Yun smiled and said, "Okay, then you get up and drive the boat." After that, he reached out to get the silver. Clinker Le Yiyang had already handed over the silver and said, "Little brother, I'm sorry, I'll bother you at noon." Seeing that the person coming was so polite, the young man suddenly felt energetic and said loudly: "Brother, sister, get on the boat, I'll send you there now."

Le Yiyang and Lai Jiyun were about to get on the boat when they suddenly heard the noise behind them. The two turned around and were shocked. They saw more than a dozen people dressed in villagers running towards them in panic. Lai Jiyun saw them coming in a fierce manner, subconsciously touched the Thousand Shaped Sword on their waists.

These people arrived at the shore and rushed to the boat and told them to start the boat as soon as possible. Seeing this, the young man was confused and put the oars on the edge of the boat, waved his hands and said, "Don't worry, everyone, there are still spaces on the boat."

There was no way to hear this group of people. They squeezed into the boat with their luggage. Le Yiyang and Lai Jiyun looked at each other and asked her to get on the boat first, and then he finally got on. Seeing that everyone had done, the young man waved the oars and slowly glided towards the other side of the calm river.

Le Yiyang carefully observed these villagers and found that they looked panicked and kept looking in the direction they came. So he asked curiously: "Uncles and aunts, what happened? Are you so anxious to get on the boat?" One of them replied: "Young master doesn't know that there were many people coming from the north just now. These people were wearing strange clothes, riding horses, holding sharp knives, and a carriage followed by. I heard the old man in the village say that they were Khitans and killed people in our Weizhou ten years ago."

At this time, a young woman holding a child cried loudly, "Now these evil people are here again, we can only escape quickly! Poor the child in my arms, she is only seven months old, and she is going to run with us constantly. The Khitans kill people without blinking, and even the children are not spared. If they are caught, how can I explain to her father who works far away in the capital?" After that, she burst into tears. After hearing this, the boat was very sad. Several middle-aged women went to comfort her and said, "Fortunately we ran fast, and those Khitans did not catch up with us." The woman sobbed and said, "Escape, when will we not have to be like today, and we have to worry about the Khitans coming to call hundreds of miles away from the border." After hearing this, the middle-aged women were speechless, looked at each other, and sat back to their original positions.

As soon as the boat reached the middle of the river, he heard someone shouting to stop the boat on the other side. Lai Ji Yun looked back and saw a middle-aged man waving to her. Behind him was a large piece of dust raised by horses. Le Yiyang turned around and forgot about it, turned around and said to the villagers, "Uncles and aunts, are you talking about the people on the shore?" These villagers saw the Khitans from afar. At this time, they nodded repeatedly, became frightened and anxious. They hurriedly reminded the young man not to stop the boat and urged him to row towards the other side as soon as possible.

The Khitans arrived at the shore, stood in a row, and kept looking at the other side. The people were wearing brown tight clothes, long sharp knives around their waists, and their hair accessories on their heads were completely different from those of the Han people. They looked around and found that there was no other tool for crossing the river except the small boat floating on the river surface, so they were so angry that they stamped their feet on the shore.

After a while, a carriage led by two white horses slowly drove up, and the carriage stopped behind everyone. The Khitans quickly moved to both sides. A girl in a white dress slowly walked off the carriage, followed by two strange-looking middle-aged men. One of them had edges of about an inch on both sides of their foreheads, and the other had a slightly protruding nose and mouth than ordinary people. The woman walked to the shore, and the Khitans knelt down to salute her. The woman nodded slightly, signaled them to get up, and then walked straight to the riverside, looking at the boat in the river.

Le Yiyang looked at the girl on the shore on the boat, and felt that she was surprisingly beautiful. Lai Ji Yun touched her arm with his hand and whispered, "Young Master Le, guess what those Khitans would do?" Le Yiyang stared at the woman and said softly, "Miss Lai, where can I guess what those people are thinking in my heart. But they didn't cross the river without the boat, so the woman didn't seem to be in a hurry!" Lai Ji Yun smiled and said, "I deserve to be able to cross the river. Who told them to kill so many people in the Central Plains back then?"

The Khitans were originally the great guards of the Khitan Palace. This time, they escorted the princess Yelu Zhongying to the Jin State under the will of Emperor Yelu Deguang. The two behind Yelu Zhongying were the guards in the palace, one of whom was named Lu Wanli, and the other one was named He Liantian. As soon as the Khitan delegation and his group arrived in Weizhou, the villagers mistakenly thought it was the Khitan army who fought, so they packed their luggage overnight and fled to the south.

Seeing that the boat was getting farther and farther away from the shore, everyone was angry. One of them knelt down and said, "I was incompetent, so I let the boat escape from my eyes. Please ask Your Highness the Princess to atone for his sins." Yelu Zhongying smiled slightly, and did not blame anyone, but walked forward to help him up. The guard was flattered and hurriedly took two steps back, not daring to look at Yelu Zhongying directly.

Yelu Zhongying looked at the boat and shook her head helplessly. When the boat was about to reach the other side, she waved to the two people behind her and said, "Uncle Lu, Uncle He, please come and invite the boating boy back."

Lu Wanli and He Liantiannuo let out a sound, jumped into the river, stepped on the water with both feet, and walked as if they were on the ground. Le Yiyang looked over from afar on the boat, and couldn't help but be amazed at the excellent light skills of the two.

As soon as the boat landed, before he could stand firm, the villagers were frightened and fled everywhere. The young man who was rowing at the boat did not care about collecting the silver from the river, and immediately threw away the oars and ran towards the shore.

Lai Ji Yun jumped to the shore, turned around and saw Le Yiyang still on the boat, and hurriedly reminded: "Young Master Le, why haven't you come ashore yet? Those two Khitans are very skilled in martial arts, we are not their opponents, so it's better to avoid it now."

Le Yiyang nodded and said, "Miss, I'll come up now..." Before he finished speaking, Lu Wanli and He Liantian were less than three meters away from the boat. Lai Jiyun took a deep breath and said, "Be careful behind you!" He hurried forward, but he was still one step late. The two had already jumped in front of Le Yiyang and blocked his way ashore. Lu Wanli said politely in Chinese: "His Royal Highness Yelu Zhongying in our country is on the other side, please use this boat to bring them over." Le Yiyang looked at the solemn expressions of the two, and felt a chill in his heart.

Lai Jiyun was about to draw his sword and fight with the two. Le Yiyang shook his head and told her not to take this risk for him. Lai Jiyun stood on the shore and watched Le Yiyang rowing toward the other shore. He was so anxious that he kept walking on the shore, thinking about ways to rescue him.

When the boat landed, the group of Khitan guards were already impatient and walked up to him and cursed in Khitan saying: "Boy, what did you run away just now? We won't eat you. Let Your Highness wait for a long time to see how we punish you later."

Yelu Zhongying hummed softly, and they stopped gnawing. Le Yiyang raised his head and looked up to the shore, and his heart was pounding. The Khitan princess was only fifteen or sixteen years old. Although he was a Hu, she compared many Han girls. Her face was as delicate as peach blossoms, her eyes as bright as pearls, her eyebrows as slender as the first moon, and her hair as beautiful as black hair. "Shoulders are cut into pieces, their waists are like constraints", her white skirt just exceeded her feet, a red ribbon was tied around her waist, and there were a piece of green jade and a short sword inlaid with gems on both sides.
