Chapter 219 Celebration Banquet (please subscribe!)

Now that Yelu Hongji has made a promise to retreat and never invade Song Dynasty again.

Then Lu Yan naturally has no need to stay in Xijing.

He left Xijing and returned to Yanmen Pass, and then saw the defenders of Yanmen Pass processing the corpses outside Yanmen Pass and cleaning the battlefield.

When the defenders saw Lu Yan's figure, they naturally cheered enthusiastically.

Now everyone in Yanmen Pass regards Lu Yan as a great hero.

It is believed that Lu Yan killed Chu Xiangyu and forced the Khitan army back.

For this, Lu Yan didn't say anything like "lucky" in a very hypocritical way.

If everyone is willing to cheer, let everyone be happy for a while.

There is really no need to spoil everyone's interest just to pretend to be modest.

When Lu Yan entered the city, another war had just ended.

And the target of this war is Chu Xiangyu's old ministry.

Chu Xiangyu sneaked into Yanmen Pass in part of the old batches, and had already figured out the situation inside Yanmen Pass.

That's why they were able to burn down the granaries before the Khitan army began to attack the city, thus damaging the morale and morale of the Yanmen Pass defenders.

In addition, they have been secretly planning to snatch the city gate for a long time.

Fortunately, after seeing the fire in the granary, Yang Ye immediately mobilized heavy troops to guard the gate of the city.

Otherwise, it was really possible that these old troops of Chu Xiangyu had successfully captured the city gate and let the Khitan army in.

If this kind of thing really happened, I am afraid that even if Lu Yan killed Chu Xiangyu, he would not be able to force back the Khitan army that was already winning.

So it doesn't matter if it's Yang Ye.

The other people in the rivers and lakes in the city are also good.

They all hated Chu Xiangyu's old department.

These people not only almost made Yanmen Pass fall.

It almost made the whole Jianghu take the blame for them and was spurned by the world.

It is simply the scum of the Song Dynasty and the disgrace of the Han people!

Facing these traitors who are even more hateful than the Khitan people, everyone's attitude is surprisingly consistent, that is to kill!

"You gang of thieves, you're going to be arrested without a fight!"

"Scum and scum, surrendering now will give you a great pleasure!"

"It's a shame that there are people like you in the Jianghu of the Song Dynasty!"

"Just set the fire here and burn them alive!"

The crowd was filled with righteous indignation and roared loudly, clamoring to use the most severe method to punish these villains!

In the house.

When Chu Xiangyu's old department heard the shouts outside, everyone's expressions were extremely sad and indignant.

Everyone has aspirations.

They never thought they did anything wrong.

If it must be said that they were wrong, it would be better to say that they failed.

King and loser.

Now that you've lost, there's no point in saying anything.

"Everyone, when the king died in battle, we have already lost. The matter has come to an end. Instead of dying at the hands of those people outside, we might as well kill ourselves!"

"That's right! Let's all die together, go underground and continue to follow the king!"

"Come on, Tie Lao San, come and give me a ride!"

When the people in the rivers and lakes outside heard the voice coming from the house, their expressions were a little subtle.

If Chu Xiangyu's old department really used suicide to fulfill the so-called "loyalty" in their hearts, then they would really look up to these people.

Even if they have different positions, we need to admit that they are a group of "good" people!

Soon, there was no movement in the house.

Everyone was wary of a possible attack and slowly walked into the house.

In the house, dozens of corpses were lying together, and the expressions on everyone's faces were extremely calm.

"Really committed suicide."

"It can be regarded as a group of men!"

"Bury them with Chu Xiangyu, and it will be considered a fulfillment for them!"

Everyone discussed in low voices, and quickly started to clean up the house.

On the other side, shortly after Lu Yan entered Yanmen Pass, he met Yang Ye.

At this time, Yang Ye was in charge of the restoration work of Yanmen Pass.

Although it is said that the Khitan army has retreated, no one knows whether the opponent will make a comeback.

Therefore, buying all the time to repair the city wall and consolidate the city defense is Yang Ye's top priority now.

Seeing Lu Yan's return, Yang Ye immediately asked with concern, "Mr. Lu, how is the situation?"

Lu Yan smiled slightly and replied: "Emperor Yelu Hongji of Liao Dynasty has made a promise that they will immediately withdraw their troops and never invade Song Dynasty again during his lifetime."

"Good! That's great!"

Yang Ye immediately showed excitement on his face when he heard the words.

In this way, the border can have a peaceful life for at least ten years.

This is definitely a great thing for the people living in the border!

Seeing that Yang Ye was so happy, Lu Yan asked with a smile, "Didn't General Yang still think about taking back Yanyun Sixteen States?"

"Why are you so happy when you hear the news that Khitan will no longer invade?"

The smile on Yang Ye's face was restrained when he heard this, and he sighed and said: "If our Song Dynasty is united and united, it will be a matter of time before the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun are recovered."

"It's a pity that the traitors and sycophants in the court are in power, and they only know how to fight for power."

"The news that Yanmen Pass is about to be attacked has been spread for so long, and the battle has been fought for so many days, but I haven't even seen the shadow of the reinforcements."

"Mr. Lu, tell me, how will the Yanyun Sixteen States be recovered?"

Speaking of this, Yang Ye showed a bitter look on his face.

Recovering the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, this is the long-cherished wish of the emperors and generals of the Song Dynasty.

However, with the passage of time, the recovery of the Sixteen States of Yanyun seems to have become an unrealistic dream.

Even the most basic slogans are rarely chanted nowadays.

Under such circumstances, even if they manage to regain the Sixteen States of Yanyun, they will lose them sooner or later!

Either throw it to Khitan, or throw it to Xixia, or even the Jinren!
For this, Yang Ye was very helpless.

It was also because of this that he felt that it was an excellent thing for Lu Yan to strive for the stability of the border for at least ten years.

Can't really ask for more.

Lu Yan stretched out his hand and patted Yang Ye's shoulder, and sighed, "Emperor Song is stupid, and Cai Jing and Fu Zongshu are treacherous and evil people. It's really not easy for you people."

Yang Ye smiled wryly.

Lu Yan could speak unscrupulously about the emperor's insensitivity, but he absolutely could not.

"I have ordered people to deliver food, grass and fine wine to the Daizhou military camp. Now they should be coming back soon. I also invite Mr. Lu to go to the military camp with me to participate in the celebration banquet."

"Mrs. Lu and the others have already gone there first."

Lu Yan nodded and said, "Okay."

When Lu Yan and Yang Ye came to the barracks.

The barracks is already busy, and the chefs are working hard to cook delicious dishes with limited ingredients.

The defenders and people from the rivers and lakes gathered together, talking and laughing loudly, bragging about their wonderful operations on the battlefield.

There are also some people who have already started to drink heavily. Although they don't have alcohol and meat, they drink very happily.

For example, Zhui Ming, this guy is obviously injured, but he still doesn't forget to drink.

One person occupies several jars, and no one will give them what they want.

Yang Ye looked at the crowd and said loudly: "Everyone, please be quiet and listen to me!"

As Yang Ye roared, everyone turned their heads to look at Yang Ye and Lu Yan who was standing beside Yang Ye.

Facing everyone's gaze, Yang Ye said loudly: "Brothers, just now Mr. Lu went to Xijing."

"You heard me right, Mr. Lu went to Xijing alone, and he met Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji!"

When everyone heard Yang Ye's words, there was a touch of surprise on their faces.

No one thought that Lu Yan would go to Xijing alone.

What did he do in Xijing?

Coincidentally, the same question emerged in everyone's mind.

Yang Ye continued: "Mr. Lu used his own power to force Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji to retreat. From then on, as long as Yelu Hongji is in power for one day, Khitan will never invade our Great Song Dynasty again!"

When everyone heard Yang Ye's words, their faces were full of surprise, and they cheered loudly.

As long as Yelu Hongji is in power, Khitan will never invade Song Dynasty again.

Judging from Yelu Hongji's age, he can continue to be emperor for at least ten more years.

That is to say, there are more than ten years of peace at the border of the Great Song Dynasty!

Although everyone knows that the agreement can be torn up at any time.

I also know that Yelu Hongji may not live for more than ten years.

But this does not prevent everyone from cheering and cheering for Lu Yan at this moment!

Because at this moment, they are the winners!
……

On the banquet table.

Lu Yan ate ordinary food, but felt that this taste was more rare than the most expensive dishes in Songhe Tower.

Because what he tastes when eating is not only the taste of the food itself, but also the taste of victory, the taste of joy up and down Yanmen Pass.

Xie Zhuoyan sat beside Lu Yan, looking at Lu Yan with a subtle look on his face.

"I found that no matter where you go, there is always an ability to be the focus, to be a big hero."

When I was in Daming.

Lu Yan has done many grand events that no one else dared to dream of.

Kill the new king.

Defeat a martial arts master.

Together with Zhang Zhenren, he will destroy Tianzun and save the Daming country.

And the much-anticipated, heart-pounding decisive battle at the top of the Forbidden City!
in the Song Dynasty.

Xingzilin and Juxian Village are not considered highlights.

The first battle in the north of Wuxi City completely became famous all over the world.

Then came the big reveal of Shaolin Temple.

Then came the battle to defend Yanmen Pass.

Lu Yan's journey along the way can be said to encounter various crises and troubles all the time.

But it solves crises and troubles all the time.

Sometimes Xie Zhuoyan thought that people like Lu Yan might be born to be the protagonist.

Hearing Xie Zhuoyan's words, Lu Yan smiled slightly, and said, "I think the brightest moment in my life was when I stood on the top of the Forbidden City with you."

"My life is only as good as it is because you have been sharing it with me."

Hearing Lu Yan's words, Xie Zhuoyan's face turned crimson.

In this crimson, there is shyness, but more sweetness.

Lu Yan seldom said touching words of love, but once in a while, they could be memorable for a long time.

Speaking of which, she would often recall the scene of standing on the top of the Forbidden City with Lu Yan.

At that moment, she not only shared Lu Yan's wonderful life.

She knew even more clearly that it was Lu Yan who was announcing her identity to the world - Mrs. Lu.

Just when Xie Zhuoyan was about to say something.

Su Mengzhen walked over with a glass of wine.

He raised his glass to Lu Yan and said, "Brother Lu, I would like to toast you, thank you for saving your life."

When he was frozen by Chu Xiangyu, he thought he was going to die.

But Lu Yan saved his life.

Let him survive successfully.

This kindness must be kept in mind.

Lu Yan picked up his wine glass, stood up, and said, "Brother Su, you are being polite. If you hadn't helped me entangle Chu Xiangyu, I might not have been able to kill Chu Xiangyu."

"When I save you, it's more like saving myself. It's a matter of course."

Said Lu Yan and drank it down.

Su Mengzhen also drank with his head on his back.

At this time, Hongxiu Shennen also came over, and she offered tea instead of wine, and also respected Lu Yan.

Seeing this scene not far away, Yang Ye also walked over and toasted Lu Yan.

All of a sudden, everyone in the audience stood up and wanted to clink glasses with Lu Yan for a drink.

Lu Yan was overwhelmed, but he was too embarrassed to refuse, so he could only have a drink.

Fortunately, the cup wasn't too big, so it wasn't a big problem to drink it like this, except that I felt a little overwhelmed.

It is worth mentioning that.

After experiencing the failure of drinking with Xiao Feng, Lu Yan has been working hard on drinking in the past two years.

Now it is finally a small achievement.

Not to mention being able to drink past Xiao Feng and Zhui Ming.

It's not a big problem for a person to drink three or five jars.

"Come on, drink!"

Lu Yan clinked glasses with everyone cheerfully, laughing heartily.

After half an hour.

Lu Yan was drunk, waved his hands, and said helplessly: "I can't do it, I really can't drink it anymore, I really can't do it!"

After saying that, Lu Yan put down his wine glass and fell into Xie Zhuoyan's arms.

From the looks of it, I have to continue to practice this amount of alcohol!
……

night.

Lu Yan was in a drowsy sleep, so it was convenient to get up and get out of bed.

Dimly, he saw Xie Zhuoyan sitting in front of the candlelight, busy with his head down, as if he was embroidering something.

"What are you doing when you're not sleeping?"

Lu Yan walked over curiously.

When Xie Zhuoyan heard Lu Yan's movement, she immediately XZed the thing in her hand in a panic.

But Lu Yan still saw clearly what it was.

A fiery red dress.

Or in other words, a wedding dress.

In an instant, Lu Yan seemed to understand something, and his expression became a little subtle.

"I……"

Xie Zhuoyan wanted to explain something.

But I don't know where to start.

Lu Yan squatted down in front of Xie Zhuoyan, and reached out to hold Xie Zhuoyan's hands.

"Are you embroidering a wedding dress for yourself?"

When Lu Yan exposed the secret, Xie Zhuoyan couldn't help but blushed slightly, and said in a low voice, "If our daughters from Shenjian Villa want to get married, they have to embroider a wedding dress by themselves."

"I have practiced swordsmanship and martial arts since I was a child, but I have never learned from female reds."

"So it's a bit slow when embroidering."

Hearing this, Lu Yan spread Xie Zhuoyan's hands.

He looked at the place on Xie Zhuoyan's finger that was punctured by the needle, and for some reason, he suddenly felt distressed.

Funny to say.

In the past, Xie Zhuoyan was repeatedly injured in battles, sometimes even facing life-threatening.

He also felt distressed, but not as much as now.

Thinking about it carefully, maybe Xie Zhuoyan at this time is more like a charming woman than a partner fighting side by side.

"How is the embroidery?"

Xie Zhuoyan replied after hearing the words: "It's still far away."

Now that this secret has been discovered, Xie Zhuoyan did not hide it, but showed her wedding dress generously.

Sure enough, it was still some way away from completion.

Lu Yan smiled slightly, and said, "Take your time, don't worry, when we return to Qixia Town and live in Qixia Town, I will definitely marry you as a matchmaker and give you a title."

Xie Zhuoyan nodded with a smile, and agreed, "I believe in you."

"You wait."

Lu Yan suddenly got up and walked outside.

Xie Zhuoyan asked curiously, "Where are you going?"

Lu Yan looked back at Xie Zhuoyan, and replied, "The blacksmith shop."

……

In the blacksmith shop, Lu Yan's unfinished fourth fine steel arrow was still placed on the forging table.

He drew out his peerless sword, and cut off a small section from the fourth fine steel arrow.

Xie Zhuoyan, who was following behind, couldn't help being curious when he saw Lu Yan's actions.

What is this for?
Lu Yan carefully hollowed out the inside of this small piece of fine steel arrow with the tip of the peerless sword, and then began to polish it.

It didn't take long before he got a ring made of refined iron.

Lu Yan polished the ring smooth and bright, and then carved two characters on it.

Yan Yan.

Lu Yan turned around and looked at Xie Zhuoyan, raised the ring in his hand, and said, "In my hometown, this kind of thing is called a ring, you may have heard of it."

"It symbolizes steadfast love."

"I engraved our two names on it, which means I want to be with you forever."

Xie Zhuoyan looked at the ring in Lu Yan's hand.

Although this ring is only polished with ordinary refined iron.

But now in her eyes, this is the most precious treasure in the world.

She stretched out her right hand with a smile and said, "Will you put it on for me?"

Lu Yan smiled and said, "Yes, but before that, we still need to go through a process."

process?

Just when Xie Zhuoyan was curious, Lu Yan suddenly knelt on the ground on one knee.

He looked at Xie Zhuoyan and said excitedly: "Miss Xie, are you willing to marry me and be my wife?"

Facing Lu Yan's marriage proposal, Xie Zhuoyan was extremely pleasantly surprised.

She really didn't expect that the process Lu Yan mentioned would be such a strange way of proposing!
In the past, she had never seen a man express his love for a woman like this!

"I am willing!"

Without any hesitation, Xie Zhuoyan agreed.

At the same time she stretched out her right hand.

Lu Yan put the ring on Xie Zhuoyan's ring finger and said, "I put the ring on your ring finger, and from now on, it will no longer be nameless."

Said Lu Yan stood up, bent down and hugged Xie Zhuoyan horizontally.

Xie Zhuoyan was still immersed in the joy of being proposed, but was suddenly picked up by Lu Yan, and subconsciously hugged Lu Yan's neck.

"What are you doing?"

A strange smile suddenly appeared on Lu Yan's face, and he said in a low voice, "It's time for the bridal chamber rehearsal."

Hearing Lu Yan's words, Xie Zhuoyan understood, and the hands around Lu Yan's neck couldn't help but tighten a little.
