When Ye Qing and others set up camp in Kedun City, they only saw Yelu Yixue, who was hiding all the way among the Song army at night.

Therefore, Ye Qing's familiarity with the road made people wonder whether Yelu Yixue sent his subordinates to Xiping Prefecture to pick up Ye Qing, otherwise, how could Ye Qing be so familiar with the region of this generation?

But obviously, neither Ye Qing nor Yelu Yixue would help him solve the doubts.

One night of rest was enough for them. Before the sun rose on the second day, and when the sky was just dawn, Ye Qing, Temujin, Su Dao, Qi Shilie's Gods Slave and Yelu Yixue began to lead more than 20,000 people to continue westward.

Even though it is already mid-May, the long road to the west in the morning is still a bit cold in the morning and the armor placed outside in the morning feels cold as if it was cold in the winter in Lin'an.

From Xingqing Prefecture all the way west, what you can appreciate is not only the beauty and exquisiteness of nature and the magical craftsmanship you can see along the way, but also makes Ye Qing feel awe-inspiring in his heart how the Han people a thousand years ago opened up this Silk Road.

What he admired even more was that even if he marched like this, he still felt the hardships and boredom along the way. He could not imagine what kind of perseverance and a pioneer spirit the people used at the beginning had to pass through the Qilian Mountains where wild animals often appeared, and could also find the edge of the vast desert. Then, most importantly, they had to believe in their own judgment, bravely move forward and go west, and explore a key path far beyond the measure of money.

Along the way, dozens or hundreds of business trips, camel caravans, etc., slowly moving along the desert wind and sand. It is bound to happen when there is a shortage of water, and it is bound to happen when you are sick. It is common to encounter thieves along the way, but what exactly is it that allows them to move forward bravely without hesitation. Was it really just for commerce? Ye Qing doubted.

But it is undeniable that the Silk Road opened up by the predecessors has been passed down by generations. Although it is now a strange term in the Song Dynasty court, for the Xia, Tatars, and Liao people, this ancient road is as indispensable as their lifeline.

The camel bells that have been resounding for thousands of years have been lingering in my ears along the way. The yellow sand desert, grassland oasis, and extremely precious water sources all prove that for thousands of years, the nations here have never lacked the courage to fight with the sky.

Hu Siwuerduo is the capital of the Liao people, and Wuerduo means palace tents, so from the name, Ye Qing can tell that the capital of Liao that will appear in front of him in the near future will probably not be related to the majestic, majestic and other high-level words.

In his opinion, when all the Central Plains rulers lost their qualifications to be masters on this vast land, the order here will eventually return to a more primitive stage, just like the Liao people who conquered other tribes and gave a silver waist card hastily. Even if you were determined to be an official of my Daliao, your people would be the people of Daliao.

Such a system and such an order are obviously not as good as the ones that were not complete in the Han Dynasty, let alone the more complicated system of the Song Dynasty, which is now.

The backwardness of the nomadic system, but in this historical period, due to the reason for growing on horseback, became a powerful existence in the era of cold weapons.

Moreover, they are also very "helpful". Not only do they always lag behind, but they will also forcibly pull some advanced civilizations and fall behind with them. For example, after the destruction of the Southern Song Dynasty in the future, the remaining culture and traditions almost cannot have a complete system to support the orthodox of the Central Plains. Just in time, the rise of Zhu Xi's theory and the development of Wang Yangming finally saved a Central Plains orthodox culture that was very different from before the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty.

But no matter what, it is better to have it than not. With the great integration of the orthodox Central Plains, he dares to integrate the strong compatibility of whatever you dare to put it in, so that no matter what kind of culture, he can eventually make you self-justify it as the orthodox Central Plains culture, or... Confucianism.

So Ye Qing came to the conclusion that the most powerful culture in this world must be Confucianism. Although it is shameless, its structural system is so powerful: come in and try it, and see if I can't merge you!

With the guidance of Yelu Yixue, an official road formed by two ruts led straight to the Gaogang in front. At this time, at the top of the Gaogang, you could faintly see the flags of the Liao people flying, and rows of cavalry, as if they were slowly growing from the horizon, were slowly appearing in the field of vision of Ye Qing and others.

"After passing the Gaogang ahead, we will arrive in our capital." Yelu Yixue's stiff Chinese language has become more skilled in the past few days than at the beginning.

Ye Qing, who came back to his senses, instantly appeared in his mind the scene of an off-road vehicle flying past the grassland. He had been for a long time, and some modern images of later generations had never flashed in his mind. But for some reason, the scene of the off-road vehicle and the speeding on the grassland suddenly appeared in his mind, as if everything seemed to have happened yesterday, or rather, he just saw the scene of another space.

"Mirage", Ye Qing defined his illusion as a mirage that only he could see.

So when he followed Yelu Yixue, welcomed by the Liao cavalry, rode his horse and whipped it up to the high ground, looking down with the excitement and guidance of the proud Yelu Yixue, he was shocked by the scene in front of him and couldn't stop talking.

Together with him, he was shocked and at a loss as he was shocked by the scene in front of him, and naturally there were Temujin, Qi Shilie's Gods slaves, Su Dao, Mo Xiaobao and others.

The farthest part of the sight is the white snow-capped mountain on the Tianshan Mountains, which seems to be within reach, but Ye Qing knew that it would probably take several days to reach the foot of the mountain.

A clear lake in front of him hangs on the green grassland like a pearl, and a thin winding river is like a jade belt. Under the sunlight, the flow of the river water reflects light from time to time.

What shocked them was not the common combination of grasslands and lakes, but the endless grasslands and scattered tents below the high hills, as well as the faintly appearing Central Plains buildings, which shocked them.

Ye Qing never thought that there could be so many tents on the grassland... so many as the night sky with the most stars, it seems that it is no exaggeration to compare it to.

A white tent is as white as clouds in the sky. It may be mixed with some tents of other colors, but it does not seem to affect the overall beauty at all, but it will look a little more colorful.

In the distance, there are snow-capped snow-capped mountains as the background, and in front of you is the plump grassland as the backdrop. The unique natural fragrance, the singing from time to time, and the horses galloping in the distance, the cattle and sheep gathered together like white clouds, complementing each other to form a harmonious and beautiful picture of a paradise.

For a moment, people couldn't help but feel reluctant to speak loudly, fearing that they would break the quiet scene below.

Ye Qing's mind felt like he was walking into a paradise at this moment. This was completely different from the dirty and messy he imagined.

"Where is the tent?" Ye Qing pointed to a vague tent, and occasionally he could tell that some golden colors came from there, so he asked curiously.

"Yes, there are the tents, the southern courtyards, and the northern palaces, as well as the temples, farmhouses, and farmlands there..." Yelu Yixue said proudly.

Every person who comes to the capital of Liao for the first time, whenever he enters the capital from this direction, he will stand on this high hill and look at the entire capital in amazement. After all, looking at the capital of the Great Liao Kingdom from here is simply too beautiful, and it is so beautiful that it cannot be expressed in words.

"Farmland?" Ye Qing was startled and thought there was something wrong with his ears.

"Yes, my capital of Daliao is a good land that is half-cultivated and half-pardled, and it is also the reason why my Emperor of Daliao chose to regard it as the capital." Yelu Yixue seemed much more talkative along the way, not to mention that he was very proud and liked to see Ye Qing and others open their mouths and startled.

As we slowly approached the Liao Kingdom Royal City from Gaogang, the beautiful and quiet scene seemed to be left on Gaogang, which made Ye Qing and others reluctant to leave. They couldn't help but look back at Gaogang. I wonder what kind of heart-wrenching scene would the Liao Kingdom Royal City at that time be when all the tents were lit up at night!

You can only see from a distance, not from close up. This is the case with everything in this world, from people to things, without exception. In short, once you get close, its beauty will gradually disappear, and what appears in front of you are some shortcomings that cannot be noticed when viewing from a distance, which will naturally break the perfection in your heart.

When you are not favored by a favorite woman, her beauty is perfect, but once you get close to everything about her, you will find that perfect women also have imperfect moments.

Ye Qing did not find perfection or not in Yelu Yue, because he had not seen the princess of the Great Liao Kingdom yet, but the magnificence of the royal city of the Great Liao Kingdom, Gaogang, which was amazed as a paradise, has now disappeared in his heart.

When you really walk into this royal city, you will find that it is actually you who beautified all the mess in the distance. It is your pursuit of perfection that makes you give up on your true search. So when cattle, sheep, horse manure is everywhere, Ye Qing had to look at Gao Gang who was left behind by them again. He always felt that Gao Gang had used beauty! Otherwise, how could there be such a big gap!

A pure and pure tent no longer exists. Instead, what catches your eyes is a black and greasy top that needs to be distinguished before it can be seen that its essence was a white tent, but a gray tent in front of you.

The roads under your feet naturally retain the original atmosphere. Even the road to the tent that is considered the flattest and widest, both sides are covered with weeds, and from time to time you can see lambs to help clarify the weeds.

Large animals such as cattle and horses are rare in the city. The gate at the city gate is more like ruins. Shops, inns, taverns, tea shops, etc. can be seen in the royal city, but what you see are shops with tents as the main body.

Occasionally, you can see some civil and brick and stone buildings, but they no longer have the style of Central Plains architecture. They look more like Khwarezmians and more western architectural styles.

The tents on Gaogang cover up everything, and after entering the royal city, you will find that there are actually many buildings. Although there are fewer than tents, there are real streets with shops, etc., and there are also many tourists from all over the country.

Although the appearance of Ye Qing and others would cause a brief panic among people, when they saw their Liao generals appear in the front, the crowds on both sides immediately became quiet. They just frowned and looked at Ye Qing and others for a few times, and then they began to work hard on the guys in their hands.

Killing cattle and sheep in the street is obviously a tradition, just like the Liao people would slaughter green cattle and aries to worship each time before the war. Therefore, from time to time, you can see a cow sank on the ground in pain, opening his eyes that are unswerving and accepting his fate, allowing humans to cut their necks, feeling the blood gradually drying out of the body, and then slowly closing his eyes, peeling off the entire skin by humans.

As if they had known their destiny for a long time, the cows staying next to them would stand quietly waiting for the execution without tying the reins. The timid flock would bleat in panic, and from time to time they wanted to break free from the rope around their necks and trample on the ground uneasy.

The entire royal city is much larger than what you see from Gaogang, and several of the main roads are quite wide, but even so, if you want to compare with Lin'an and Yangzhou, it can be said that it is not comparable at all.

Moreover, even Kaifeng, Luoyang, Jingzhao Prefecture, and even Xingqing Prefecture, the capital of Xia Kingdom, all seem to be much better than the environment here. There are poems and distances between the sky and the clouds, but more of them are the hardships of conditions and the barbaric violence of killing.

The tent of the king is much larger than each of them imagined on Gaogang, and it is not just a simple tent or a tent, but it is only a few dozen huge tents in front of you that can be called a complete tent.

Only when the emperor conquers wars and hunts, a single tent is called a king's tent.

The five thousand people led by Ye Qing and the other two were placed in tents outside the city before entering the city, and each person could only bring his own soldiers into the core area of ​​the capital of Liao. After all, the so-called inn is in the large area of ​​the king's tent, the south courtyard, the north government, etc.

"Then is Xiaowulita's mansion." Yelu Yixue took advantage of the fact that everyone else was looking at the capital of the kingdom curiously, and while leading them to turn around, he whispered in Ye Qing's ear.

"Don't he stayed in the tent?" Ye Qing asked silly. After all, after entering the Liao Dynasty's royal city, all his ideas were greatly impacted. In this inappropriate city, he still couldn't accept it for a while. This was the royal city of the Western Liao people, and it was obviously completely different from the scene seen on Gaogang.

"I don't know." When Yelu Yixue looked at the huge door, his eyes seemed to be full of hatred and murderous aura, which made Ye Qingshen afraid that this guy would be impulsive, so he rushed in and duel with Xiaowuli.

"No one knows where he lives at night. Some say he lives in his tent in the South Courtyard, and some say he actually lives in his palace, but there is no conclusive evidence." Yelu Yixue shook his head and said disdainfully: "It's just a coward, and he doesn't even dare to say where he lives."

"I don't even know your emperor?" Ye Qing asked in surprise.

Yelu Yixue's face was embarrassed, and he turned red rarely once, and said vaguely: "He doesn't know where the emperor lives."
