Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"I don't know. He seemed to be worried about something when he pulled the bow and arrow, because I saw that his arm was a little unstable."

"Is he hurt?"

"No, he kept saying that he wanted me to leave quickly, otherwise it would be too late."

"It's really weird..." Concubine Di said, "Your Highness must be protected by the heavens, so that he can turn evil into good luck."

"Well, it should be so." Defang cupped his hands, "God really loves this king."

"My lord, but why did he tell you about his old friend?"

"I just can't figure this out, old man? What old man?"

Concubine Di was also thinking, "My lord, does he mean that Song and Liao are always fighting each other, so he told you that he is an [old friend]?"

"Ma'am is right, maybe... But... I always feel that... there is something else..."

"What can be the matter, the prince is overthinking."

Defang shook her head, "Ma'am, when I knew that the other party was Brother Yeluxiu, to be honest, I was very uneasy, but after returning to the capital, I remembered his appearance again, it seemed...it seemed a bit familiar."

"My lord, have you really met him?"

"Impossible. When I was guarding the pass, I only saw Liao general Chu Da who killed Tian Gu and was captured. I have never seen any of the other generals of the Liao army."

"Then why do you look familiar?"

Defang shook her head, "Brother Yeluxiu is only wearing a fur hat, I can see his face very clearly, it looks familiar..."

"My lord," Concubine Di said, "I know why."

"Oh why?"

"Because Liao people all look alike."

Defang froze for a moment, then smiled and said, "Madam is right! It must be so! I don't have any doubts about Madam's explanation, hehehe"

"My lord," Concubine Di hugged Defang, "This time it's Brother Yeluxiu leading the attack again, you must be careful."

"Madam, don't worry, I won't act recklessly this time. Food protection is the top priority. The plan of the Liao army will fail if the supply is achieved. Then they will fall into a passive position. General Li and the others will definitely take Yeluxiu's [-] troops Completely defeat and drive out Song Tu."

"My lord, there are many brave generals in Zhenzhou and Dingzhou who passed by this time. Although you are a lord and have the emperor's order to lead the army, you have to listen to them."

"Yes, obey!" Defang arched her hands towards Concubine Di, and Concubine Di was angry and funny, "My lord, why are you still making trouble?"

"Ma'am" Defang hugged Concubine Di and leaned against the head of the bed, "Don't worry too much, I promise to come back safely."

"My lord, I still remember the first time you went to the border at the order of His Majesty. That time I was really worried, because it was located at the border, and it was to settle disputes, and there was no army accompanying me. It would be too late if something happened. At that time, the first emperor passed away only half a year ago, and you, my lord, are going to leave Beijing before you have even fulfilled your filial piety. My concubine is really afraid that something will happen to you..."

"I also remember that we didn't sleep the night before, we just cuddled together without saying a word, Madam's tears" Defang pointed to her chest "wet all the clothes here." Defang kissed Di The forehead of the concubine "Ma'am, we have experienced so many things in these years, and our hearts have become very strong. No matter before or in the future, no matter how hard it is, how difficult it is, we will bear it. I only hope that the children will be safe." When they grow up, they can watch them get married and have children, so a lifetime is enough."
