This was as it should be, since Pucha Huzhan's nephew married the eldest daughter of the Crown Prince.

He also noticed that the bandit troops besieging the eldest prince quickly became organized after receiving support from the scattered troops in the camp. They dispersed from the northwest corner of the eldest prince's camp, but began to focus on setting fire from the southeast, trying to end everything with fire.

Seeing the fire about to start, Elubu knew that the king would come out soon, and he would probably have to make the final decision.

Frankly speaking, up to this moment, Erlubu still wanted to save the eldest prince, of course, on the premise that he would not bring disaster upon himself. Therefore, after a little hesitation, this Jurchen veteran and battlefield escapee suddenly turned his head and looked at the leader of his personal guards:

"You can go there with two or three people."

"What can two or three people do?" The leader of the guards was puzzled.

"There must be Khitans, the key is to see if there are any Jurchens among them?" Erlubu explained seriously. "No matter what the result is, don't tell anyone. I'm just curious and want peace of mind... Go quickly and come back quickly."

The leader of the guards nodded, and immediately hurried away with a few smart soldiers, disappearing into the night.

What surprised Elubu was that just as he was waiting for the king's summons again and was slowly getting down from the roof, his own guard leader came back... and then nodded slightly in front of the young eunuch who came to summon him from a distance.

Even if Elubu was slow-witted, he knew that there must be Jurchens among them, and they were most likely acquaintances of his own guards, otherwise they would not have come back so soon.

Although he had guessed it, the veteran Jurchen general still felt a chill on his scalp after confirming it.

"Reply to Your Majesty."

Turning back to the courtyard, the numbness on his scalp had not yet subsided, and Erlubu could only force himself to recover. "Just as your majesty guessed, the Khitan bandits used fire attack. The summer weather is warm, and there is a constant breeze... They also took the initiative to open a hole in the river, which is like a three-sided encirclement and one-left... Your Highness the King of Liao is really in danger."

Hela, who was standing on the threshold, was struck by lightning. His body swayed for a moment before he held on to the door frame and stood firm. Then he immediately looked at Wanyan Xiyin's back with some expectation.

But Xi Yin still didn't move.

He looked at Elubu again, but Elubu just lowered his head.

I went to look for Qin Hui again, but the light and shadows in the courtyard were intertwined, and I couldn't find Qin Hui for a while.

Finally, he went to find Wulin Da Zanmo. Wulin Da Zanmo finally met the king's gaze, but he shook his head slightly.

Seeing this, Hela felt helpless, frightened and sad. Tears immediately streamed down his face and he could only cover his face and go back to his room.

Almost everyone in the courtyard, starting with Xi Yin who had a blank expression, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

But soon, a shrill female voice suddenly sounded from the room:

"Your Majesty, what is wrong with you? You were played around by others in Yanjing, and now you can only cry in front of me? As the king of a country, how can you be so cowardly even on the run?"

Everyone was concerned about the young Queen Pei Man. They also knew that the young queen was only fifteen years old. If she were the king, with her intelligence and experience, she would understand something in her mind. The young queen was just saying childish things.

But for some reason, even though they knew that those were the little queen's childish words, everyone in the courtyard couldn't help but be slightly moved, and then listened attentively.

Soon, the king's slightly choked voice was heard:

"You don't understand... This is not a matter of dignity for the king. I know that Xi Yin Xiang has good intentions, and I also know that the current situation is that I am at the mercy of others. It will be better for everyone if my uncle dies... I just remember the kindness of my uncle in raising me... and the kindness of Master Han in teaching me... and the kindness of my fourth uncle in supporting me... Master Han was too late to save me, and my fourth uncle was too late to save me... Now the last closest uncle can't even be saved! I am not ashamed to be a king, but ashamed to be a nephew!"

Everyone in the courtyard felt compassionate at the same time.

"If you are ashamed, why don't you save them?!" The little queen's shrill voice sounded again. "The country is in this state, what else is there to worry about?!"

"Xi Yin Xianggong won't let me divide my forces..."

"You are the grandson of Taizu, and you are skilled in archery and horse riding. If Lord Xi Yin does not allow the generals below to rescue you, can he stop you from leading the army in person? Didn't you put on armor from the beginning tonight? Are you just pretending?!"

Almost everyone in the yard looked at the half-open door at the same time, causing a sensation. Even Xi Yin was slightly startled.

But soon, Wanyan Xiyin returned to his previous appearance - calm, natural, as if nothing had happened.

Almost at the same time, Queen Pei Man's voice sounded again:

"Last time in Yanjing, I was frightened and hid behind you, and I felt ashamed... If you really care about the King of Liao's kindness in raising him, you should ride your horse and lead the remaining Hezhameng'an to rescue him! By then, not only will we rescue the King of Liao, but even the soldiers in the camp will be inspired by you and gather together!"

Xi Yin had already recovered, Qin Hui looked pale, and Elubu was sweating profusely. However, Wulinda Zanmo could not help but take a step forward, as if he was ready to persuade him.

Almost immediately, Empress Pei Man urged again in the room:

"I just heard clearly that the King of Liao was almost burned to death. He also had eye disease. It would be difficult for him to escape in such a fire and at night... If you dare to go, I will go with you... If we can save him, we will save him. If we can't, we will come back. Even if the enemy is powerful, my husband and I are good horsemen and can escape on horseback... At worst, we can just go downstream along the Huangshui River..."

Before he finished speaking, Hela, wearing armor and holding a sword, suddenly opened the door and appeared in the yard again. He took a deep breath, forced himself to stop crying, then glanced around and said through gritted teeth:
