It was getting dark, and everyone was eating around the fire, along with the pheasants and hares that had just been hunted down. I took out a jar of Shao Daozi from the carriage. I bought this wine and put it in the space when I was in Youzhou. I originally wanted to take it with me as a gift. It was a good occasion to drink it. Abu was very happy when he saw the wine. Most Liao and Jurchens liked this kind of strong liquor.

They worship the strong. They only took me with them because I gave them a lot of money, and they didn't have a good impression of me. Ever since they saw my prowess, they became enthusiastic towards me, and they would also give me the fattest piece of roasted prey. They may have had other ideas before, such as robbing my gold when they arrived in their tribe, but they no longer have it now. They saw me killing more than a dozen people without blinking, and they knew my strength. Now they also understood why I was the only one who dared to go back to the tribe with them.

While eating and drinking, Aji asked me, why did you ask those four people? Do you know them? I didn’t know how to answer, so I could only deal with it and say, I don’t know the person, but when I saw so many people chasing four people, I wanted to help. I didn’t think much about it at the time. Now that I sit down, I I think I was a little impulsive. Aji said, Xiaobei, you are a good person and a good-natured person. You are in line with the temperament of our Jurchens.

I could only smile and didn't know what to say, but I said to Maoqiu in my heart, why, why did you ask me to save that person? Maoqiu said that the person's name was Xiao Tali, the second queen of Xingzong of Liao Dynasty, and the mother of Yelu Hongji, Daozong of Liao Dynasty. She was a talented woman who was good at singing, dancing, riding, and shooting. She was deeply loved by Xingzong of Liao. Now she is a noble concubine. She accompanied Liao Xingzong on hunting this time. Out of jealousy, the queen found someone from her own family to assassinate her. If she died now, there would be no Yelu Hongji in the future. This time she did not die, and the queen also showed her flaws, which made Liao Xingzong demote the queen to a noble concubine and promote Xiao Tali to the queen.

It turns out that this is what it is, an unexpected mission. Maoqiu said that someone was supposed to save her originally, but the person who was supposed to save her didn't show up, so you had to come. Maybe it was destined.

But I didn’t get the soul that traveled through time, so there is no repair value to get. Maoqiu said, yes, Master, there is no repair value this time. How could this happen? Who changed history? Where is the person who should have come out to save people? Maoqiu said, I don’t know. There is no choice but to leave it like this.

This night I slept in the wild, the surroundings were very quiet, and the occasional buzzing of insects made it easier to fall asleep.

When I got up the next day, I saw that everyone was getting ready to set off. I also hitched up my carriage. As for breakfast, I could just eat it while walking on the carriage. Anyway, there was a lot of cooked food in my space. I saw that the Jurchens all ate dry biscuits and dried meat, which saved a lot of time. The Liao and Jurchens did not have the habit of drinking hot water as the Han people did. They were used to eating cold food. I'm not used to it. I feel uncomfortable without drinking tea these days. It seems that I will slowly get used to drinking milk tea.

When everyone was walking forward, before noon, we heard a horse team advancing towards us in the distance. The Jurchens' hearts were lifted. Aji asked everyone to move forward quickly. I looked back. Tell Aji, you go first and I will stay at the end to see what is going on. If there is danger, I can help you block it for a while. You go first. If I don't catch up, don't worry. Go back to your tribe first, and I will find you. Of course Aji refused to listen to what I said. If something happens, we can all work together. More people can help. I said, you go first, I can't run alone, how can a group of you run away with so much goods, besides, the people in the tribe are still waiting for you to go back, you will only drag me down here. Aji thought about it and it was right. How come I, an outsider, are not as important as my relatives in the tribe?...

Aji agreed, and then called his companions to move forward quickly. And I stopped in the carriage and waited there. As for why I am so righteous, it's because Maoqiu just told me that the people chasing me are Xiao Dali's people. Yesterday, she returned to the hunting palace of Liao Xingzong and told Liao Xingzong about her encounter with the assassin and the person who rescued her. Liao Xingzong was furious and asked people to investigate the matter, and also sent people to recover the benefactor who saved his beloved in order to repay him. There is also the person who should have appeared to save Xiao Dali, the bodyguard around Xingzong, but this bodyguard was occupied by someone from the future. That person in the present knows that as long as Yelu Hongji is not born, a lot can be changed. The fate of people, so he decided not to save Xiao Dali, but just hid and watched. Unexpectedly, someone showed up and rescued Xiao Dali.

What I have to do now is to find the guard and collect the soul from the future. Otherwise, he will always do something to change the history.

I held the knife in my hand as if on alert, waiting for someone to come closer. The person who came over was wearing the clothes of a palace guard of the Liao Kingdom, and there were feathers on the back of his hat. It seemed that his official position was not low.

He stopped the horse, smiled at me and said, did you save four people who were being hunted yesterday? I nodded and said yes, what do you do, what do you want from me? He told the original story and said that the emperor asked you to see him.

I said, so that's how it is, can you please wait a moment? I want to tell my companions, and then I will go back with you. The man was quite polite to me, and knew that the movement behind them had frightened my companions. So tell me, we can wait for you here, but please hurry up and don't make His Majesty wait in a hurry.

I agreed, then put the carriage in its original position, mounted the red horse and chased Aji and the others. They had a lot of goods, so even if they ran, they didn't go very far. I caught up with them after a while. I talked to Aji about the current situation. His Majesty the Liao Kingdom wants to see me, and I must go. You should go back to the tribe first. I remember the location of the tribe you told me, and I will go find you. Aji heard that it was not a dangerous thing, so he agreed. He also said that he would wait for me in the tribe and told me to go.

I said goodbye to Aji and rushed back. I saw that the guard was still waiting for me, looking a little anxious. When he saw me coming, he said to me, let my people drive the carriage back to the palace for you. You and I can ride horses to see His Majesty. This will be faster. I have nothing to disagree with. There is nothing on the carriage anyway. Important stuff.
