"If we still want Han to crawl like a sheep at the feet of Liao, that loyal Han king Liu Ling must be eliminated! This man's mind is as cunning as a fox, but his fangs are as sharp as a wolf!"
Han Zhigu frowned and said.
Yeluji, who had been chased by Zhao Tieguai's Qianning army for a while, received an arrow on his shoulder. Fortunately, his armor was hard and thick enough. Although the armor-piercing awl tore the armor, it did not penetrate deeply into his flesh. It was only three inches. The wound caused by the sharp arrow was difficult to treat. Although I applied the herbal medicine for trauma, my shoulder was still swollen.
Yeluji only wore a pair of loose clothes and no belt. He was leaning on the large bed and covered with a thin quilt. His face was not good, very bad, and it was a kind of panic. White. Because the wound was infected, he still had some fever. The weather in June was no longer refreshing, but he was still trembling slightly even though he was covered with a quilt.
"Brother Zhigu, do you have any good ideas?"
Yeluji closed his eyes. There was a cup of his favorite Western Region wine beside the bed, but he had no desire to drink at this time. The wound was painful and itchy, as if countless ants were constantly biting it. Zhao Tieguai's arrow was powerful enough. If the guard hadn't pushed him in time, the arrow would not have been shot in the shoulder, but in the throat. But for some reason, Yeluji felt a certain hatred for Zhao Tieguai in his heart. But Guai didn't have much hatred. What he hated was Liu Ling.
He stretched out his hand and lightly touched the location of the wound. A burst of heartbreaking pain came through. Yeluji's brows immediately furrowed like a ridge. This was the first time he had been injured since he was a child, and the pain from the wound made him unbearable. , which made him feel a little inferior. The reason for his inferiority was that his younger brother Yelu Deguang was injured because he had not been practicing martial arts since he was a child. He broke his leg bone last time while riding a horse. His younger brother Yelu Deguang still ate meat and drank wine without frowning. He didn't even wrinkle. He had never been injured, so Yeluji always thought that his brother's performance at that time was a bit artificial. Now that he was injured, he realized that it was so difficult to pretend to not care at all.
Huh... I want to be the emperor. Even if the emperor is to lead a personal expedition, he will not charge at the front, let alone be chased from behind for more than ten miles. As for his younger brother Yelu Deguang, since he is not afraid of death or pain, then Just be a general. Of course, if he ascends the throne, Yelu Deguang may not even have the chance to touch the scimitar again.
"Liu Ling must be eliminated. This man is the pillar of the Han State. Without him, the Han State would not dare to pay attention to the Liao Dynasty, let alone plot against the prince. Now the armies of the Han State are obeying Liu Ling's command, and each of them will The generals of the battalion all looked up to Liu Ling. Because of the existence of this person, the Han army was united from top to bottom, like a strong fist. Wherever Liu Ling pointed, the army would attack without hesitation. To where."
Han Zhigu said: "As for the emperor of Han, he was not good at leading troops. It can even be said that he knew nothing about military matters. There was no general under Liu Ling in the Han army who could really take charge of his own affairs. If Liu Ling died, the Han Dynasty would The country's army is bound to be in chaos. They are originally a group of sheep without fighting spirit. It was Liu Ling, the alpha wolf, who disguised the sheep as a group of wolves. If the alpha wolf dies, the wolves will immediately turn into sheep again. !”
Yeluji hummed, trying to get used to the pain.
"To get rid of Liu Ling, we can only do it secretly. Although you and I can clearly see his tricks on the battlefield, we can't tell what he did wrong. We can retake Xiongzhou and Mozhou in one fell swoop, without Liu Ling's sneak attack.
It is impossible for the Zhou army to achieve such results. If it were done openly, there would be no good reason."
Yeluji thought for a while and said.
Han Zhigu said: "Well, what the prince said is right. Not only should we not do anything bad against him, but we should praise him greatly. The people we installed in Taiyuan Mansion sent back the news that Liu Ling will be here in ten days
On the wedding day, the prince might as well send him a generous gift to give him enough face and favor."
Yeluji's eyes lit up, because the thought made him happy enough, and the pain on the wound became much lighter.
"A big wedding? Well, of course I will give him a generous gift, and two more! Brother Zhigu, please arrange it. The first gift must be heavy enough. You must send capable people as envoys to attend his wedding.
, if you want to be treated grandly, you should arrange it according to the treatment of the Daliao royal family. Five thousand taels of gold and thirty thousand taels of silver. A while ago, I was given two snow fox skins as a gift, so I will also send them over. I will also send two high-quality horses.
Good horse, as for the other things, Brother Zhigu, you can watch and arrange them a little more."
Han Zhigu was surprised and said: "Isn't this gift too generous? Even if it is to show solemnity, the prince has already sent envoys and given him enough face."
Yeluji chuckled and said: "Brother Zhigu, why are you so stingy? Although the first gift is a bit heavy, it has two meanings. Besides, for the second gift, I plan to give him the sharpest scimitar.
Yeah, where’s the scimitar on my neck, haha.”
"Two meanings?"
Seeing that Yeluji was a little complacent, Han Zhigu asked again deliberately.
"Yes, it is both a congratulatory gift and a funeral."
Yelu was so happy that he subconsciously stretched out his hand to pick up the cup of Western Region wine not far away and tasted it. The wound was involved, and he immediately grinned in pain. Hiss! Yelu took a breath of air in great pain, but he was not upset.
, it seems that the pain of the wound is not unbearable at all, but has become a kind of enjoyment.
Han Zhigu said: "As for the second gift, we must find a few capable people. Liu Ling's soldiers are all veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time, and it is said that they are not weak in skill. Moreover, the emperor of Han is very fond of him.
He values them and selected many masters from the palace to protect Liu Ling. Although our warriors in Daliao are no worse than those Han people, we are afraid of arousing suspicion if there are too many people there, and it is difficult to succeed if there are too few people."
Yeluji hummed and said, "Send the Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry. With them here, it won't be difficult to kill Liu Ling among thousands of troops."
Han Zhigu said: "The Eighteen Cavalry of Yanyun are indeed warriors who can fight one against a hundred, but what they are good at is fighting on the battlefield, but they are not good at assassination. Your Majesty... is not as good?"
"Okay, okay, I knew you would take advantage of my eight guards, that's all. They didn't protect me well on the battlefield this time and Zhao Tieguai took advantage of it, so let them make atonement for their sins."
"Jianyi, come in!"
Yeluji called out the door, and then a man wearing gray and black guard uniforms opened the door and walked in. This man was of medium height and his appearance was not unusual. If he were walking on the street, he would not attract any attention at all.
people's attention.
"My subordinates pay their respects to the prince."
The man Yeluji called Jianyi lowered his head and said.
"Well, take your people to do something with Mr. Zhongshu Ling. As for what to do and how to do it, Mr. Zhongshu Ling will arrange it. You just need to obey. I only say one thing, you must remember it. If
If you fail to do this task well, the eight of you can just end it on your own and there is no need to come back to see me again!"
"I obey my orders!"
Jianyi did not ask Yeluji what specific tasks he wanted to perform, but just bowed his head and agreed. Yeluji was very satisfied with his attitude. He smiled and said: "You eight people were given to me by His Majesty. Your duty is to protect
Regarding my safety, you failed to protect me during the last battle among thousands of troops. This mission will give you a chance to redeem your dereliction of duty. If done well, I will give you what you want most.
"
Jian Yi's eyes suddenly lit up, but quickly disappeared.
"My subordinates swear allegiance to the prince to the death!"
"Very good, I am tired, you all can go down."
Yeluji said calmly.
Han Zhigu stood up to say goodbye, and Jianyi followed Han Zhigu step by step. His face returned to its usual calm expression, without any emotion, but in his inner world, it had already become turbulent. They were eight senior brothers.
What is the thing you want most? The answer lies in Jian Yi’s heart, he has been pursuing it, that is... freedom!
Taiyuan Mansion Immortal World
"Miss, there is a letter from Xingqing Mansion."
Li Yanfu stooped and took out a letter from his arms, holding it in both hands and handing it to Chen Ziyu. "Grandpa Jiu, thank you for your hard work. Please sit down and take a rest." Chen Ziyu said with a smile, and she tore open the still sealed letter.
After taking out the letter, she glanced at it for a few times and then stood up abruptly, her face turning extremely pale in an instant. Her hand holding the letter shook violently, and the letter in her hand was like a small boat unable to hold itself in the rapids.
Chen Ziyu didn't dare to continue reading, but she also hoped that there would be some miracle hidden behind the letter. She bit her lip, held the letter tremblingly, and read it word by word with wide eyes.
After reading the letter, Chen Ziyu slumped down on the chair, his face bloodless. As soon as he let go of his hand, the letter fell to the ground like a dead leaf butterfly with broken wings.
"Miss...what's wrong?"
Jia'er was startled by Chen Ziyu's appearance. She knelt down and picked up the letter from the ground. As she read, Jia'er's face became worse and worse. In the end, her mouth was opened wide because of surprise.
Put in an egg.
"Why is this happening?"
Jia'er murmured to herself.
The hunchbacked Li Yanfu smiled, very kindly, but this kindliness was reflected on his face, but it looked so ferocious and terrifying: "Miss, I know you are in trouble, just leave this matter to me. Master, please do it as well.
I gave an order, a death order. The master said that Liu Ling's wedding should be turned into a funeral." (To be continued)
