Yelu Yan assigned Jinwu, Bater, and others to Li Xianyun, all of whom he trusted immensely.
Before departing, Yelu Yan extended his long arm and tightly embraced Li Xianyun in front of the assembly, his face filled with grief and reluctance.
With red eyes, Li Xianyun urged, "Husband, I must go."
Yelu Yan reluctantly let her go and helped Li Xianyun onto his mount, the renowned steed—the Chestnut Flame Horse.
While in Shangjing, Yelu Yan would sometimes take Li Xianyun to the racecourse to ride horses.
Li Xianyun would sometimes clamor to ride Yelu Yan's mount.
His Fiery Flame Horse was wild and difficult to tame, and Yelu Yan, fearing she might fall, did not agree.
But unable to resist Li Xianyun's relentless persuasion, topped with her coquettish complaints, he had to agree.
When Li Xianyun rode his mount, Yelu Yan became very anxious, riding beside her to protect her, fearing she might fall.
Unexpectedly, Li Xianyun rode very well.
