"Tie these two people up and take them on the road tomorrow morning. Let's just use them as entertainment on the road."
Liu Ling ordered.
These two Kievan Rus are suspicious, very suspicious. They say they are here to meet the Emperor of China, but how do they look like envoys? They look more like down-and-out guys who are being hunted. They have no clothes on them for who knows how many days.
It had been changed, and it gave off an unpleasant smell. The hair of these two people had not been washed for at least a month, and it looked like it was stuck together. This Romanov looked like nothing, but the one named Ivan
The man has a rather noble temperament, which is extremely inconsistent with the dirty clothes on his body.
Liu Ling said to Romanov: "Comrade Romanov, you are welcome to come to China. First, I will ask you to spend the night in a stable. Tomorrow we will talk about the Communist International."
It's a pity that neither Romanov nor Liu Ling's subordinates understand Liu Ling's words.
But Romanov understood the word stable, and he struggled and said: "My noble nobles, is this the way you Han people treat guests? If you come to our country, you will receive the warmest welcome.
Welcome. There is the strongest wine and the hottest girl, but you want to lock us in the stable. This is very rude behavior!"
Liu Ling waved her hand and said, "Sorry, you are not my guest."
Romanov was pulled up and dragged out by the guards. He shouted eagerly: "You can lock me in the stable, but you must not lock Ivan in the stable, otherwise you will be cursed!"
Liu Ling smiled, looked at the silent Ivan, then turned to Romanov and said: "This is your right, you can try your best to curse me."
After saying that, Liu Ling waved his hand, and the guards immediately dragged Romanov out. Ivan, on the other hand, walked out with his head held high. Liu Ling squinted his eyes and looked at Ivan's back, and he had a thought in his heart.
A vague guess.
He sat down and looked at the Yuelai Inn owner and several waiters who were kneeling on the ground.
"Tell me what your position is, Incense Master? Hall Master?"
The boss's body trembled suddenly, and there was unconcealable panic in his eyes.
"My lord...I don't understand what you are saying."
Liu Ling smiled and said: "I can't believe that in just a few years, the strength of your White Lotus Sect has penetrated into the territory of the Khitan people. I have underestimated you and the woman named Luan Ying."
He waved his hand and said: "Get up, I don't have any ill intentions. You saintess helped me in Kaifeng a while ago, and the previous grudges have long been a thing of the past. As long as you don't commit the habit of rebelling, I won't
I have a hard time with you. You saved one of my men regarding Kaifeng, so I owe Luan Ying a favor."
The boss was even more surprised. He stood up slowly. Perhaps because of nervousness, his body was shaking quite violently. Liu Ling gave him a cold look and said: "Don't pretend in front of me, you are just pretending."
It's fake. If you think you can control me, you might as well try. But you only have one chance. If you don't succeed, all your people will die."
He sighed and said, "I feel a little regretful now. If I hadn't let Luan Ying go, you wouldn't be able to develop to this scale now."
The boss took back the hand that was touching his lower back, took a deep breath and said, "My lord and the saint are really old friends?"
Liu Ling thought for a while and said: "She wanted to kill me at first because I killed the Holy Master of your White Lotus Sect, who was her master. She came to kill me, but I let her go. Do you think this counts as an old friend?
?”
The boss was startled and put his hands on his lower back again, always ready to violently hurt someone.
Liu Ling sighed: "I don't know the current affairs and I think I'm a fool. I really don't know who sent you to the north. Why did they choose a fool like you?"
The boss's hand shook for a moment, and finally hung down weakly. Liu Ling said calmly: "If I wanted to kill you, do you think you can still stand here? Hang a white lotus on the wall, even if the north belongs to the Khitans.
Territory, haven't you ever thought about being seen out? Oh...I forgot, even if someone sees out, it doesn't matter. In Kaifeng...Luan Ying seems to be the guest of the little emperor Xianyuan. I heard that the little emperor Xianyuan
Still want to worship her as your teacher? So you are not a cult now, so you don’t need to hide it from others."
After hearing what Liu Ling said, the boss suddenly stepped back and whispered in surprise: "Are you Liu Ling, the King of Han Dynasty?!"
Liu Ling sighed and said, "It's really stupid."
"Now... you saints and virgins are still in Kaifeng?"
The boss slumped down like a balloon that had been sucked out of air. He felt a strong sense of powerlessness in his heart after knowing the identity of the black-robed man in front of him. Since he is the King of Han, no matter how many people like him there are, they will not be able to hurt him in the slightest.
Could it be that the King of Han would be without an extremely skilled person next to him? What's more, he had seen the way Liu Ling subdued those two old men just now. He thought he was a military dignitary, but who knew he would turn out to be the world-famous King of Han.
"While still in Kaifeng, I thanked the prince for his concern for the Virgin Mary."
The boss said.
Liu Ling hummed and said, "Tell Luan Ying for me. I will go to Kaifeng sooner or later, but I will bring Xiong soldiers to fight there. She is preaching in Kaifeng. For the sake of safety, she should leave temporarily. Wait until later.
After Kaifeng is calmed down, she can go back at any time. There is only one thing...to preach, and she cannot have other thoughts to avoid disaster."
The boss bowed and said: "The common people will understand the prince's words verbatim."
Liu Ling sighed and said: "It's not easy for two women. If they want to live in seclusion and escape from the world, I can choose a place for her. The world is in chaos, even if they don't have any thoughts in their hearts, there is no guarantee that you, the White Lotus Sect, will
I have no idea. No matter what, there will always be a lot of helplessness when fighting with swords. If something really messy happens and countless people are killed and injured, isn't it her fault?"
The boss opened his mouth, but didn't say anything in the end.
Liu Ling waved her hand and said: "The Yuelai Inn is closed, too. In less than half a month, there will be a raging war here. It will be safer if you go back earlier. She saved one of my men's lives, and I will return her a favor. You guys.
Pack your things and go, this inn is not a place worth remembering."
Liu Ling glanced at Zhao Da. Zhao Da nodded and ordered the guards to take out some silver and give it to the boss. The money was enough to buy three such inns. In the troubled times of the world, silver was a hard currency. As for the five baht minted by Dazhou
The purchasing power of money has now reached a pitiful low.
The boss glanced at Liu Ling, took the money, threw it to the ground, and left without looking back. Liu Ling asked the guards to go to the kitchen to cook, and then walked upstairs. He had not yet walked up to the second floor.
Floor, the boss suddenly hurried back to the lobby.
"Your Majesty... Although I don't know where your Majesty is going, the common people think it's better to tell your Majesty something in advance. You need to be careful if you go south and pass by Bazhou Prince, because the Khitans in Bazhou were beaten away by him.
Well, a group of horse thieves took over the Bazhou government office and robbed passing merchants. They killed hundreds of people without blinking an eye."
Liu Ling nodded and said, "Thank you very much."
The owner of Yuelai Inn saluted Liu Ling again, then turned and left.
Liu Ling murmured: "A horse thief? I don't know if he is Yang Yishan's disciple or grandson."
He turned around and asked Zhao Dada: "Yang Yishan is still serving under Luo Xu?"
Zhao Dadao: "Now he has been promoted to general."
Liu Ling hummed and continued to walk upstairs. Choosing a room at random, Liu Ling opened the door and took a look. He found that the inn was indeed very fresh and clean. Although the furnishings in the room were simple, they were clean.
It was spotless. There were two brand new quilts on the bed, embroidered with unknown blooming flowers.
"Kill him."
After Liu Ling stood at the door and looked at the furnishings in the room, he turned around and said three words to Zhao Da calmly.
Zhao Da was stunned for a moment, then bowed and said: "I obey your orders."
After dinner, Minhui heated up hot water and helped Liu Ling wash her feet. She had just washed herself, and her wet hair was still on her cheeks. Looking at the beauty under the lamp, Minhui felt an indescribable feeling at this moment.
Charming. She has been moistened by rain and dew these days, and she is becoming more and more charming.
Liu Ling stretched out her hand to straighten the messy strands of hair in front of Minhui's forehead and said, "Hui'er is getting more and more beautiful. No wonder that Nuofu can't walk when he sees you."
Minhui was startled and said: "My lord, please forgive me. Huier will cover her face when going out from now on so that no one can see her."
Liu Ling was amused by her appearance and smiled: "Silly girl, I'm not blaming you for anything. My Huier is so beautiful, wouldn't it be a waste of natural resources to cover her face?"
Minhui quietly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Liu Ling was really not angry. She was a conservative woman. If any man other than Liu Ling looked at her twice, she would feel that she was sorry for the prince. This is a deep-rooted thought, and for a while,
Time is difficult to change.
After traveling for a day, she was still a little tired. After washing, Liu Ling took Minhui and lay on the bed to rest.
Minhui lay on Liu Ling's chest, thought for a while and asked: "Your Majesty... is that saint girl from the White Lotus Sect beautiful?"
Liu Ling thought for a while and said: "In terms of appearance, she is not as good as Hui'er. But her kung fu is very good and she is very powerful at killing people. But my Hui'er has good hands and a benevolent heart. Her skills in saving people are better than killing people."
His technique must be powerful."
Speaking of killing, Minhui suddenly remembered those three words in the prince's calm but eerie tone when he stood at the door.
"My lord, there are horse thieves in Bazhou. Why did you kill the man named Yang Yishan?"
Liu Ling smiled and said: "Compared to the White Lotus Sect, this Yang Yishan is the one who is addicted to rebellion. He is the boss of Hebei Green Forest Road, and he is always involved in horse thieves. Those horse thieves occupy
How could we intercept and kill merchants coming and going in a big city like Bazhou? That boss didn't tell the truth. He actually wanted to remind me that Bazhou City is very dangerous."
Liu Ling did not explain clearly to Minhui because he always did not want Minhui to know too much when it came to murder.
When he went north, there were a thousand troops stationed in Bazhou. But the boss said that Bazhou was now occupied by horse thieves. This was to remind Liu Ling that all the soldiers he left behind had been killed. And killed them all.
Those soldiers who occupied Bazhou City were horse thieves. A thousand well-trained Han soldiers were killed silently and no one escaped. Why? Because Yang Yishan is now the general of the Han army.
Yang Yishan was addicted to rebellion. I don't know how he, a young general, got the news about Liu Ling's return south incognito, and then prepared to intercept and kill Liu Ling in Bazhou.
Only that pervert could do such a stupid thing.
That night, a group of 5,000 elite soldiers set out from the Youzhou camp and crossed the Sanggan River overnight. When Liu Ling and others packed up their equipment and horses and set out on the road, the 5,000 elite soldiers had already started killing people in Bazhou City.
That night, Yang Yishan, the general manager of Hebei Green Forest Road, was assassinated by Khitan assassins and died without a complete body. (To be continued)
