The Song Dynasty has been deliberate for 16 years, only to know that it is the Water Margin

After having dinner at the restaurant, Zhao and the other three found an inn to rest, and did not go out to the street until evening.

There was a lot of excitement in the capital city at the moment. Khitan civilians were not interested in making offerings to the moon and worshiping the moon, but the nobles were all rushing to imitate it.

Although the Mid-Autumn Festival is an official festival officially designated by the Song Dynasty, this festival has existed since ancient times. Not to mention the Qin and Han Dynasties, in Taizong Ji of the Tang Dynasty, it is recorded that August [-]th is the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The Liao Dynasty was known as the orthodox country, and its politics and economy were inherited from the Li and Tang Dynasties, so it had to celebrate this festival. However, the nobles had complete ceremonies, recited poems and lyrics, and lamented that reunion was not easy, but the people only regarded it as an excuse to get drunk and rest.

In the streets and alleys, there were drunken Khitan people everywhere, the taverns and restaurants were overcrowded, and the sound of shouting and shouting could be heard endlessly.

The three of them found a restaurant and entered it. The decoration of this restaurant was gorgeous and elegant, and it looked expensive at first glance.

There are not as many customers in the building as there are in the ordinary wine shops and restaurants outside. After all, the current situation is not peaceful, and the business routes are affected, which has led to a shortage of money and food among the people of Liao. It is good for the people to go to an ordinary shop to eat once, but this kind of large restaurant is not. It is absolutely impossible to afford it.

After ordering a few dishes, the three of them sat by the window and started eating and drinking. While eating, they looked at the lively scene downstairs. At this time, lights were lit in many places in the capital city, especially on the street corners. There were trees not far away. Wax burns on the ground.

The so-called wood wax is actually specially treated dry wood strips, which can make the burning time longer. After being lit, it is placed outside for lighting, but the smoke is very high.

There is also a stage on the other side of the street, which is free for the common people to watch. There are many people around the front and back of the stage, but the noise from below overwhelms the stage, all drunkards are shouting and playing. I couldn't even hear what song was being sung on the stage.

There are also full moon cakes in Shangjing, which are also learned from the Song Dynasty, but the fillings are not so particular, and some are directly wrapped with mutton and baked, which is not delicious.

After eating, they strolled around for a while, and then the three of them returned to the inn. When it was later, the sounds on the street gradually became quieter, the noise slowly disappeared, and Zhao Tong quietly walked out of the house.

He did not call Yue Fei and Ouyang Bei, but came to the wall of the small courtyard of the inn alone. He looked around and saw that no one was there. Then he jumped to the top of the wall with a quick stride, and then jumped to the ridge of the room...

In the palace of the Prince of Liaoxi County, Xiao Min was sitting at a small round table by the window. There were pastries, preserved fruits and other things placed on it. There was also a copper incense burner. The sandalwood in it had been burned out, leaving no trace of fragrance.

No candles were lit in the room, and the frosty moonlight poured in from the windows, making the room as bright as a whirlwind.

Xiao Min stood up, walked to the couch with her slender feet as bare as snow, and then sat down silently.

The big eagle carried her around the mansion before, and she didn't know what the bird was looking for, but in the end she didn't find it.

Not long afterward, someone from Lin Ya's mansion invited her to the banquet, but she politely refused, although Khitan did not have the rules of not being able to meet before marriage, but she just didn't want to go, and she didn't want to go anywhere.

She didn't eat at night either, the palace gave her small mooncakes, she didn't taste any of them, but gave them to the big eagle, who carved one bite and ate it all.

The sculpture was now so big that it no longer lived in the room and could not fit under the bed, so a monastery was built outside where it lived.

Xiao Min was thinking about it, and suddenly she felt a little cold. It was already late autumn, and the capital was on the northern grassland. The day was better at this time, but the night was empty and cold.

She grabbed the quilt and hugged it into her arms, leaned on the couch, hid her two slender ankles in the quilt, only revealing a touch of snow-white calf.

She was getting married in a few days, but she didn't seem to feel anything about it. She was just as numb as usual, without any joy, anger or joy in her heart.

Things from her childhood, her mother, her playmates, those warm and carefree days kept flashing through her mind.

She was a person without scheming, and never thought about the world's dangers and obstacles until she went to the Song Dynasty when she was 17 years old.

Saw that person...

I don’t know how long it took, but Xiao Min started to feel a little tired. She felt drowsy, hugged the quilt even tighter, and fell asleep without even realizing it...

Zhao Tong came out of the inn and entered the Liaoxi County Prince's Mansion not long after.

He was already a master at this moment, and he had the ability to change his body like a god, so no one even noticed his infiltration.

After continuously exploring many houses, he finally came to a courtyard and leaned against the window like a blue smoke.

He carefully tore the window paper and looked in through the moonlight. He squinted his eyes and showed a smile on his lips.

When he came to the door, he used a special technique to open the door latch, and then walked in quietly.

On the couch, Xiao Min was holding the quilt, half leaning against the wall, sleeping.

Her cheeks were as crystal clear as jade in the moonlight, and her long eyelashes were set off by her slender eyebrows, which were as cold and beautiful as the distant mountains.

Zhao Tong came closer and stretched out his hand to lift her hair. Perhaps the movement was too big, but Xiao Min opened his eyes in confusion.

Seeing Zhao Tun immediately, she was stunned, and then said to herself: "Are you dreaming again?"

Zhao Tong smiled and said nothing. Xiao Min suddenly sat up, then rushed forward and hugged Zhao Tong.

"Let it be a dream, I hope it will last longer this time." Xiao Min murmured, burying her face into Zhao Tong's chest and holding his waist tightly with both hands.

Zhao Tong thought for a while, then stretched out his hands to hold her shoulders. Xiao Min whispered: "Yuan Erlang, have you really forgotten Thirteenth Mother?"

Zhao Tong caressed her back lightly, without saying a word, Xiao Min's body trembled, and she looked up: "Erlang, you... this time is so real, more real than all previous dreams."

Zhao Tong looked down at her, leaned down slightly, and tapped her forehead gently.

Xiao Min's eyes were a little blurry, and he looked up at Zhao Tong, his face slightly rosy.

"Erlang..."

Zhao Tong lowered himself again and blocked Xiao Qiao Tan's mouth. Xiao Min hugged Zhao Tong even tighter, pressing her whole body against her.

"Uh, uh..." Her face turned red, and she felt as if her whole body was about to melt, but the next moment she suddenly opened her eyes wide and began to struggle hard.

Pushing Zhao Tong away suddenly, Xiao Min took two steps back and looked forward in panic.

"Yuanjiro, you..."

Zhao Tong looked at her with a smile, but still said nothing.

"Isn't this a dream?" Xiao Min's face turned pale instantly, "Isn't this... a dream?"

She looked Zhao Tong up and down, her body trembled, and she suddenly turned around and pulled out the Yuzang dagger from under the pillow.

Zhao Tong touched his chin: "Thirteenth Mother, this is not a dream!"

"You..." Xiao Min's face was extremely cold, and he stabbed forward with the dagger: "Yuan Erlang, you liar, bastard, and bad guy!"

Zhao Tong turned to one side to avoid the dagger, then grabbed the white wrist, squeezed it gently, and the dagger fell to the ground with a clang.

"Yuan Erlang, I, I'm going to kill you!" Xiao Min raised his leg and kicked Zhao Tao again.

Zhao Tang stretched out his hand to grab the straight leg, pushed her slightly on the shoulder, and pushed her onto the couch.

Then he said: "Thirteenth Mother, what are you doing?"

Xiao Min got up on the couch, stared at him blankly, then hugged his knees with his hands, buried his head in his knees and started crying.

Zhao Tong sighed and was about to speak again when suddenly there was a banging sound on the door from outside.He frowned and listened, then walked over and pulled the door latch, and saw the big eagle at the door with its wings spread out as if to attack.

Diao has a keen sense of hearing, and when he sensed a sound in the abode in front of the courtyard, he thought that someone was harming his master, so he ran over. At this moment, he suddenly saw that it was Zhao Tun who opened the door, and he was immediately dumbfounded.

Zhao Tun snorted softly, and the big eagle immediately called out "Jiu Jiu", then turned around and ran, plunged into the front of the house, and refused to come out again.

Zhao Tong turned around, closed the door, bolted the door, and came to the couch again: "Thirteenth Mother, don't cry."

Xiao Min looked up at him after hearing this, tears hanging on her cheeks, but her expression was cold: "What are you doing here?"

Zhao Tong smiled: "I haven't seen you for a few years, doesn't Thirteen Niang miss me?"

Xiao Min couldn't help but feel embarrassed when she thought of what she had just done in her dream. She was thin-skinned and always kept her emotions hidden, but just now she was exposed in front of Zhao Tong. She couldn't bear it now.

He picked up the pillow and hit it at Zhao Tong, then shrank into the couch and said, "I don't miss you. I have forgotten who you are. You leave. If you don't leave, I'll call someone."

Zhao Tong took the pillow and smiled, with a look of reminiscence on his face, and said: "I remember when we were in Huining, Thirteenth Mother, you also liked to hit me with a pillow. Although there was something important at that time, Tianyuan The scenery and mountains and rivers are charming, but it’s a peaceful time.”

Xiao Min didn't speak or look at him, she pulled the quilt to hide her body inside.

Zhao Tong added: "I remember it was a small pillow, but it's a pity that I didn't bring it back."

"I remember that there was a tall poplar tree in the yard. I made a wooden table under the tree and a few small stones that Thirteenth Mother found to make small stools. It was hot at that time. Just eat and chat in the courtyard.”

"And the vegetables in the garden were planted by us together, but it's a pity that we didn't eat them all, and it was wasted."

"I still remember that every night, we slept on the same bed and looked at each other. From time to time, Jian Yinniang would come over and eavesdrop outside the window..."

Zhao Tong said as he sat on the edge of the couch and began to take off his boots.

Listening to his words, Xiao Min also fell into the memory, her heart softened, she was about to say something, but seeing Zhao Tun's movements, she suddenly said in surprise: "Yuan Erlang, what are you doing?"

Zhao Tong laughed and said, "I'm going to relive the old dream of Huining with Thirteen Niangs."

"No, no..." Xiao Min panicked, "You can't do this, I, I'm getting married!"

Zhao Tong glanced at her: "Who will you marry?"

Xiao Min said: "Of course it's Lin Ya!"

Zhao Tong chuckled, got on the bed directly, and then narrowed his eyes and said, "Yelü Dashi, don't you know that Thirteen Niang and I slept together in Huining?"

"He, he never asked..." Xiao Min said in panic, "It was an expedient measure to assassinate Wanyan Aguda, I..."

Zhao Tun shook his head and said, "Thirteen Niang, come with me."

"Where are you going?" Xiao Min looked at him and hugged the quilt tighter.

"Go to Tokyo!" Zhao Tong said.

These words rang in Xiao Min's ears like thunder, and she was stunned. Going to Tokyo?

"Yes, go to Tokyo." Zhao Tong nodded: "Thirteenth Mother, you are my woman. If you don't go to Tokyo with me, where else can you go?"

"I'm not..." Xiao Min wanted to object loudly, but her voice became smaller and smaller: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm not, I'm getting married soon, you, you'd better leave as soon as possible... "

Zhao Tong looked at her wrapped up in quilt and smiled: "Why are we getting married? You are mine, how can you get married to someone else!"

"I have a fiancé!" Xiao Min summoned up the courage to say, "That year, I told you when I went to Tokyo with the mission to set up a ring!"

Zhao Tong touched his chin when he heard this: "Didn't Yelu Dashi deliberately bring you close to me that time?"

"What did you say?" Xiao Min was shocked.

Seeing her bewildered look, Zhao Tang thought for a while to change the topic and said, "Don't talk about this, Shisan Niang, please prepare and leave Shangjing with me before August [-]th."

"I...I won't leave!" Xiao Min suddenly felt very angry and aggrieved. Why do you do what you say?I prefer not.

Zhao Tong watched her tears begin to well up in her eyes again, and said: "Come with me to the Song Dynasty. What I said in my letter last time was not false at all. You will know when the time comes. Now leave Liao with me." Country."

Xiao Min was silent. She actually wanted to ask Yuan Erlang a lot of things, but she didn't know where to start. At this moment, her heart was pounding. Suddenly, she didn't even have the courage to look up at him.

She was leaning against the wall in the couch, still holding her knees with her hands, the quilt under her legs slipped off inadvertently, revealing her slender ankles.

Zhao Tong looked away, stared at it for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "It's so beautiful."

"What's so beautiful?" Xiao Min lowered his head to look, and suddenly screamed, his face immediately burning up.

She wanted to retract under the quilt, but unexpectedly, Zhao Tong suddenly stretched out his hand and caught her, then said with a smile: "What are you doing, Thirteenth Mother?"

"I, I asked Yuan Erlang what you want to do!" Xiao Min struggled hard, and two red clouds flew up from his cold face: "Let me go, you bastard."

Zhao Tong laughed loudly, how could he let go, and said: "Thirteenth Mother, I won't leave tonight."

Xiao Min was shocked when she heard this: "You, what are you going to do if you don't leave?"

Zhao Tong said: "It's not like we haven't slept together before. I think Thirteenth Niang, your bed is nice, much better than the one in the inn. I won't go back to the inn tonight."

Xiao Min was angry and ashamed: "Yuan Erlang, you are a scoundrel, a scoundrel, and a shameless person."

Zhao Tong gently held her ankle, shook his head nonchalantly and said, "Thirteenth Mother, you didn't just know this today."

"I...let me go." Xiao Min gritted her teeth, feeling powerless.

Zhao Tong let go and then looked at the bed: "Although the kang here is not as big as Jin Guoning's, it is enough to sleep two people."

"You, Yuan Erlang, go back to the inn quickly." Xiao Min said shyly, but her voice became lower and lower.

Zhao Tong moved his body to the side of the couch. Xiao Min thought he was going down, and felt slightly relieved. Unexpectedly, Zhao Tong stretched out his hand and took off the silver hook hanging the curtain, and the couch suddenly became dark.

"Ah!" Xiao Min exclaimed.

"Sleep, sleep..." Zhao Tong's lazy voice came: "Same as in Huining, I sleep here, you sleep over there, no one is allowed to cross the boundary."

"Yuanjiro, you scoundrel..."

Xiao Min wanted to say something more, but she heard Zhao Tong's breathing became evener, as if he had fallen asleep...
