Chapter 324: Gone with the Wind

…

Yunxi.

Qingzhongzhai.

Upon learning that Yelu Yanxi had taken people to Baishuiluo for hunting again, Yelu Yanxi's queen Xiao Duolilan could not help but shed tears of extreme disappointment, and Yelu Yanxi's first concubine Xiao Guige could not help but sigh!

Yelu Yanxi had only one queen and three princesses in his life, namely: Queen Xiao Duolilan, Concubine Xiao Shigu, Concubine Xiao Sese and Concubine Xiao Guige.

In addition, Yelu Yanxi had some concubines, but their status could not be compared with Yelu Yanxi's one queen and three concubines. The children they gave birth to were illegitimate, not legitimate, and under normal circumstances, they were not eligible to inherit the throne.

Xiao Shigu died of grief because of her son's premature death in her early years.

Xiao Sese was sentenced to death by Yelu Yanxi two years ago.

Now, Yelu Yanxi's concubines are only Xiao Duolilan and Xiao Guige.

What outsiders don't know is that Xiao Duolilan, Xiao Guige and Xiao Fengxian, the biggest traitor of the Liao Dynasty, are three siblings.

Everyone knows that Xiao Fengxian is loved and trusted by Yelu Yanxi, but they don't know that there is actually a reason behind this.

Xiao Fengxian married his only two sisters to Yelu Yanxi, and his second sister Xiao Duolilan was the legitimate queen of the Liao Empire!

Moreover, Xiao Duolilan was beautiful and virtuous, not jealous, and was a very famous virtuous queen of the Liao Empire.

It's a pity that Xiao Duolilan was weak and had never given birth.

Later, in order to get the position of queen, Xiao Duolilan and Xiao Fengxian took their sister Xiao Guige into the palace and became Yelu Yanxi's first concubine.

Xiao Guige is as beautiful and virtuous as Xiao Duolilan, and is not jealous. What's more rare is that she is also very kind and generous. She is the most typical person with a beautiful heart and a kind heart.

Yelu Yanxi particularly favored Xiao Guige. It can even be said that since Xiao Guige entered the palace, Yelu Yanxi has never favored anyone else.

This can be easily seen from the fact that Xiao Guige took care of all the five youngest children of Yelu Yanxi.

It was precisely because Xiao Duolilan and Xiao Guige were so good that Yelu Yanxi particularly valued Xiao Fengxian, who offered them to him.

This favoritism even reached the point of blindness later.

As a result, Xiao Fengxian not only brought disaster to the country and the people, framed loyal officials, but also offered slander to kill Xiao Sese and her son Yelu Aoluwo, and even caused the demise of the Liao Empire.

If you look at it this way, it is not an exaggeration to say that Xiao Duolilan and Xiao Guige, especially the latter, are beauty and disaster.

In fact, it is not that there is no such voice.

But Xiao Duolilan and Xiao Guige have such a good reputation. They have never done anything bad, so people really can't bear to blame them.

More importantly, as Yelu Yanxi's sons became stupid, died, and were born out of wedlock, Yelu Ding, born to Xiao Guige, has become the most suitable heir to the Liao Kingdom.

——Yelü Chun passed the throne of the Northern Liao back to Yelu Ding.

In other words, Xiao Guige and his mother have now become the new hope of the Liao people.

This undoubtedly makes Xiao Guige's status among the Liao people increasingly high.

However, Xiao Duolilan and Xiao Guige felt that the Great Liao Empire had come to this point because of their brother Xiao Fengxian, and they were also responsible. If they also supported Xiao Sese's son to be the prince, instead of having the idea of ​​letting their own son be the prince, the Liao Kingdom might not be what it is now.

Therefore, Xiao Duolilan and Xiao Guige hoped that Yelu Yanxi could cheer up and lead the Liao people to restore the country, so as not to make them the sinners of history.

Unexpectedly, Yelu Yanxi was so disappointing that he led his troops to fight against the Yuan army and even secretly went hunting.

Xiao Duolilan fell ill due to her wandering and anger at the Liao Empire for not making progress despite the situation.

Xiao Guige was also very sad!

After crying, Xiao Duolilan said to Xiao Guige weakly: "I'm afraid I can't make it. After I die, you have to be strong and help His Majesty take care of the harem so that His Majesty doesn't worry about these trivial matters."

Xiao Guige, who was not a strong woman, was very uneasy after hearing what Xiao Duolilan said. She said with red and swollen eyes: "Sister, don't say discouraging words. You are only 37 years old, still very young. You are in good health on weekdays. You can ride a horse and shoot arrows. You just caught a cold today. You will be fine."

Xiao Duolilan sighed. She was really tired of running around like this and had no place to live.

Xiao Duolilan waved to Xiao Guige: "Go and see them and comfort them."

After hearing this, Xiao Guige left Xiao Duolilan's tent, sorted out her bad mood, suppressed her worries about the future, and then came to a particularly large tent in the middle.

At this time, there were two or three hundred women sitting in this big tent.

Among these women, there were six daughters of Yelu Yanxi, concubines of Yelu Yanxi, concubines of several sons of Yelu Yanxi, and some were daughters of the royal family and clan of other Liao countries.

These women have one thing in common, that is, most of them are very beautiful, true exotic beauties, beautiful as a country, and it is not in vain that they have been transformed by the excellent genes of countless generations of beauties for more than two hundred years.

Seeing Xiao Guige coming in, the concubine of Liao Taishu Huluwa, relying on her seniority, asked with red eyes: "My queen, did your majesty go hunting again? Today, your majesty is leading the army to fight a decisive battle with the Han people. It is related to the survival of our Liao Dynasty. It can no longer be regarded as a joke!"

When the concubine Huluwa said this, all the women in the tent began to cry.

Since Liao Taizu Yelu Abaoji became the Khan of Khitan and established the country "Khitan", it has been more than 200 years.

In the past two hundred years, the nobles of Liao Dynasty have been highly integrated with the Han people, and the degree of sinicization is very high. Therefore, many nobles of Liao Dynasty, especially the noble women of Liao Dynasty, no longer like the life on horseback. They prefer to live a life of food and clothing in the comfortable palace.

- Of course, if they occasionally go out to ride cavalry, relax, hunt, and adjust their boring lives, they are willing, but they are really tired of fleeing every day, and even living in the mountains like savages every day.

Moreover, they used to be noble ladies who were high above and respected wherever they went. The humble Jurchens dared not even look at them; but now they have become toys for the Jurchens to rob, and they live in fear every day, fearing that a group of Jurchens will rush in the next moment, carry them away, and then abuse them in every way.

Enough!

They are really tired of such a life!

Therefore, they all hope that Yelu Yanxi will not continue to be stupid, and quickly cheer up, lead the Liao people to fight back, recover the lost land, and let them live their original rich and stable life again. They don't want to be a beauty in troubled times anymore!

But Yelu Yanxi is a hopeless case. The Liao Kingdom is like this, and he is still in the mood to go hunting!

How can this not make these women who have expectations of Yelu Yanxi collapse collectively?

Yelu Yuliyan is as strong-willed as her mother Xiao Sese. She said with red eyes: "Please ask Empress Yuan to persuade my father not to do this again. We have already staked everything, so we must not slack off. We women and children are also willing to go to the battlefield. Whether it is the Jurchens or the Han people, we will fight them. If we die, we will die in Shangjing. Don't run around like rats!"

As soon as Yelu Yuliyan said this, someone immediately echoed: "Yes, don't run away, we will fight back, I would rather die in battle!"

All the women echoed.

The King's concubine Neri couldn't help but say: "The army is challenging the Han people at the pass, but Your Majesty is not on the battlefield but going hunting. What if the Han people or the Jurchens attack..."

As soon as the King's concubine Neri finished speaking, the light cavalry led by Lin Chong, Yang Zhi, Guan Sheng and Qin Ming suddenly descended from the sky and rushed into Qingzhong Village.

Yelu Yanxi's people were not in Qingzhong Village, so more than 10,000 Liao people were leaderless. Some of them advocated fighting, some advocated defense, and some advocated escape. The key point was that no one could convince anyone for a while.

As a result, Qingzhong Village was wiped out by the Yuan army.

Yelu Yanxi's two sons, the Prince of Qin and the Prince of Xu, all of Yelu Yanxi's concubines, all of his daughters, all of his daughters-in-law, all of the daughters of the Liao royal family and clan, many of the Liao royal family and clan, Yelu Yanxi's thousands of horses that could travel 350 miles a day, more than 500 bags of the best treasures accumulated by the Liao Empire for more than 200 years, tens of thousands of felt carts, baggage, and more than 20,000 good horses from the north, in short, everything Yelu Yanxi had was seized by the Yuan army. The first battle since the founding of the Yuan Empire was a great victory and a full load.

Yelu Yanxi, who survived the hunting in other places, returned to Qingzhongzhai with hundreds of people and found that his sons, wives and daughters were gone, and the horses, treasures, baggage, everything was gone.

This time, even if Yelu Yanxi wanted to run to the Zhao Song Dynasty to be a younger brother, or to Xixia to be an uncle, it was impossible.

Not only that, even the imperial seal of the Liao Empire was brought back by Lin Chong and presented to Jiang Hongfei.

This seemed to indicate that the Liao Empire was completely on the verge of extinction.

Yelu Yanxi was furious and immediately gathered his 70,000 to 80,000 troops to Yunxi to seek revenge on Jiang Hongfei...
