On the north wall of Baishui Pass, Ling Duozhi was wearing a pair of silver armor, standing beside a battlement with a solemn expression. Behind him stood two lieutenants in armor. At this time, a soldier came forward and bowed and said
: "General Lin, the young master has entered the 'Spring Garden'".
"I know," Ling Duozhi responded lightly and asked the soldier, "What's the situation over there?"
The soldier replied: "There are no less than 50,000 Khitan troops gathered over there, led by the Khitan general Yelutuo himself."
Ling Duozhi thought for a while and waved the soldier off. At this time, a lieutenant behind him stepped forward and said: "General, this meeting between the third Khitan prince and the king seems to be a big deal."
Ling Duozhi said silently: "This time things may really change in Baishui City. Yelu Zong instigated Yelu Tuo's younger brother Yelu Boqing to test Yun'er, but in the end he had people steal our Han arrows and kill that man.
Yelu Boqing, just to arouse the anger of Yelu Tuo,"
The deputy general asked: "Then why did Yelu Zongheng do this? He clearly knew that doing so would damage the alliance between the Khitan Kingdom and our Han Dynasty."
Ling Duozhi explained: "Yelütuo belongs to the lineage of the Khitan prince Yelu Changsheng. The Khitan emperor had four sons. Although the eldest son Yelv Changsheng was made the prince, before the Khitan emperor died, the four princes
It is possible for them to sit in that position. Although Prince Yelu Changsheng is not as powerful as Yelu, he is still a man of great talent and strategy. Killing Yelu Boqing can not only eliminate the powerful help of a prince, but also intensify Baishui.
Although I don’t know the purpose of Wang Dezhong’s meeting with Na Yelu Zongheng, I am certain that it has something to do with Baishui City.”
The deputy general asked again: "Then why did Yelu Boqing suddenly stop his attack in the afternoon and never attack me again? Could it be that it was also instigated by Yelu Zongheng?"
"Because Yelu Zongheng knew that it was impossible for them to kill Yun'er. I would not dare to say it elsewhere, but in this Baishui City, no one would want to kill Yun'er. To say the least, if they really
After killing Yun'er, they would also think that according to my nature, I couldn't abandon the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in Baishui City and send my army north to avenge Yun'er. I knew it was impossible to do this, but I still didn't
Thinking that Yelu Zongheng would use Yelu Boqing's life as bait, Yelutuo sent his army south to approach Baishui Pass. Meeting with Wang Dezhong was one of Yelu Zongheng's goals, but he also had a bigger purpose, otherwise
We won’t let Yelutuo go south and tie up our border troops in Baishui City.”
"My subordinates are stupid and still don't understand what their other purpose is? And why did they choose this time to carry out it?" the deputy general asked doubtfully.
??????
But at this time, Ling Tianyun, who was in the "Spring Garden", discovered that the maid walking among the people had a familiar face. This person was the Hei Niangzi whom Ling Tianyun met in the bungalow. Hei Niang also discovered that she was
Ling Tianyun and Guo Jian, who were in the hall, looked at Ling Tianyun with half-smiling faces. Ling Tianyun met the black lady's gaze and felt panic in his heart, and his face immediately turned red.
"Hmph, they are a bunch of scum who follow the trend." Guo Jian looked fearless and fought back at those who questioned him. Guo Jian showed a domineering look, like a ruffian at this time. Ling Tianyun looked at him like this, and felt good for a while.
Everyone in the hall got up angrily and made a noise.
"Huh!" I heard a soft drink coming from the private room on the upper floor of the hall. The curtain of the private room had been opened, revealing a delicate and domineering face, and a pair of sharp eyes looking at Ling Tianyun and Guo Jian.
.The gaze only passed by Ling Tianyun and stopped on Guo Jian, obviously ignoring Ling Tianyun.
"Yelu Zongheng" Ling Tianyun's heart trembled. What was revealed above the room was none other than Yelu Zongheng, the third prince of Khitan. After two years of absence, Yelu Zongheng's domineering aura became stronger, his eyes shone with a sharper light, and his temperament
There have been obvious changes.
Yelu Zongheng said angrily: "Guo Huaian, you are here to cause trouble." Seeing Yelu Zongheng speak, the hall suddenly became quiet, and the seven-color beauty performing on the stage also stopped beating.
Guo Jian raised his head to meet Yelu Zongheng's gaze and said loudly: "Whether Mr. Guo is here to cause trouble, it is not the third prince's turn to take care of it. This is in the territory of the Han Dynasty. I don't know why the third prince of Khitan is here."
Your work." His tone was fearless, as if he was tit-for-tat.
It turned out that Guo Jian's real name was Guo Huaian, Ling Tianyun thought to himself. At this time, a person flashed in Ling Tianyun's mind, Guo Huaian, the young leader of the Guiyi Army. Could it be that Guo Jian was Guo Huaian, the young leader of the Guiyi Army.
"The king is hosting a banquet here for all the famous families in Baishui City. Do you still need you, Young Master Guo, to be in charge?" Yelu Zongheng's expression returned to normal and he said calmly.
"Hehe, these are the famous families in Baishui City invited by His Excellency the Third Prince. They are all so groveling and servile. They are simply a disgrace to me, the Han people." Guo Jian glanced at everyone in the hall and said sarcastically.
"Bold, does Nephew Guo Xian also think that I have lost the face of my Han people?" At this time, a voice appeared from beside Yelu Zongheng, and a fat middle-aged man stood beside Yelu Zongheng.
, the man's face showed a kind of official authority that had been buried in the official sea for a long time, and his whole body exuded an aura of power without anger, and the man angrily scolded Guo Jian.
The identity of the man "Wang Dezhong" immediately appeared in Ling Tianyun's mind. He found that Wang Dezhong had won the trust of the Emperor Liu Yu of the Northern Han Dynasty and was now the prime minister of the Northern Han Dynasty. Looking at Wang Dezhong's appearance, Ling Tianyun felt that Wang Dezhong and Guo Huaian were obviously the same.
He didn't understand how the young master of the Guiyi Army knew the prime minister.
Guo Huaian saw Prime Minister Wang Dezhong reveal his figure, with a teasing expression on his face. He looked at Wang Dezhong and said: "So Mr. Wang is here, my nephew is polite." In his tone, he seemed surprised by Wang Dezhong's appearance, but in his expression
But he looked like he already knew it.
Yelu Zongheng's eyes shot out with sharp light, staring at Guo Huaian.
"Humph", Wang Dezhong threw down his sleeves and said in a deep voice: "You still know how to show me a courtesy. If it wasn't for that person's sake, I would have asked someone to drive you out immediately. I have something to do with the third prince here.
Let’s talk about this, I hope you can take care of yourself and don’t cause any trouble.”
Guo Huaian looked at Yelu Zongheng and Wang Dezhong with a calm expression, and said, "I wonder what important matters Mr. Wang and Prince Yelu have to discuss here. Isn't it necessary to invite almost all the famous wealthy gentry of Baishui City to come? Isn't it another matter?
Let’s put Baishui City into the arms of the Khitan people like the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun.”
"Damn it," Wang Dezhong shouted loudly as soon as he heard this: "Do you want to take care of the matter that I am discussing with the third prince?"
Ling Tianyun found that Yelu Zongheng's eyes were flashing with murderous intent, so Yelu Zongheng was afraid that he had murderous intentions towards Guo Huaian.
"Did my nephew say something wrong? Sir Wang, please look at the famous families you have invited to the banquet. They all look forward to the Baishui City being sent to the hands of the Khitans as soon as possible. A prince has come, and all of them are...
Did you come here on an appointment to please the third prince of Khitan as soon as possible?" Guo Huaian ignored Wang Dezhong's shouting and turned to look at the crowd, speaking in an passionate tone without any courtesy.
"Guo Huaian, you are looking for death." Yelu shouted loudly, his eyes no longer hiding the murderous intention towards Guo Huaian.
After everyone heard what Guo Huaian said, some people showed some expressions of shame. At this time, a middle-aged man dressed as a scribe stood up, clasped his fists to Wang Dezhong and Yelu Zong and said: "Master Wang, His Highness the Third Prince, Xiao Ke's home.
There are still some matters that have not been dealt with, so I would like to excuse myself, Xiao Ke." The man spoke in a decent tone, and then started to leave the hall. When everyone in the hall saw someone leaving, their expressions condensed, and a hint of helplessness was revealed.
After leaving, people one after another said goodbye to Wang Dezhong and Yelu Zongheng and left.
Seeing people leaving one after another, Guo Huaian picked up the jug and took a big sip of wine. He said to Ling Tianyun, "Come and take another sip. Don't waste this wine." Ling Tianyun was not afraid to pick up the jug and ask Guo Huaian, "Looks like we can wait a minute."
We're going to fight again, right?" Guo Huaian narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile: "Do you like fighting that much? But there will be a fierce battle later. Are you afraid?"
What they didn't know was that there was a third floor in the hall. There was only a small attic on this third floor. In this attic, there was an extremely beautiful woman who was watching everything with great interest. If Ling Tianyun could see that,
As for the beautiful woman, he would definitely be surprised, because the beautiful woman is the proprietress of the unknown wine shop.
The hall that was once full of people suddenly lost a lot of people. There were only about ten celebrities left in the hall. If Ling Tianyun observed them carefully, he would find that the ten people in the hall had bright eyes and hidden hidden things on their bodies.
There was a majestic aura, and it was obvious that they were no ordinary people. The clothes of the dozen or so celebrities were similar to those of the other wealthy gentry and famous people who had left, but they were like poisonous snakes lurking in the dark, waiting for the opportunity to move and hit with one strike.
Yelu Zongheng looked at the people leaving one by one, but his expression became calm at this moment. When the last person who was about to leave in the hall had already left, Yelu Zongheng stared at Guo Huaian and said ferociously: "Guo Huaian, there is heaven.
If you don't walk on this road, today you are seeking death, and I, the King, will help you."
"Haha??????" Yelu Zongheng suddenly let out a long laugh and said fiercely: "Today is the day when your Guo Huaian will die."
Suddenly a dozen celebrities jumped out of the hall like poisonous snakes lurking in the dark. Seeing this, the colorful beauties on the stage screamed and ran away in panic.
