Yerod sat on the back of the horse with a blank face, and watched coldly as the Khitan soldiers he brought surrounded the trading company on the three floors inside and three layers outside, he did not dismount, the height brought to him by the war horse allowed him to look down on all beings, he liked this feeling, it would make him feel that everything was an ant, and he was the king who ruled over all things.

He himself is the king of the younger generation of Khitans.

"The arrow is wound, and the knife is unsheathed. But if there are those who resist, shoot and kill! When Yerod Guang gave the military order, there was a smug smile on the corner of his mouth. There was no movement in the trading house, everything seemed quiet and abnormal, Yelu Deguang did not rush to order the sergeant to rush in, he was not lacking in patience when dealing with the prey that was destined to not escape, on the contrary, he enjoyed the feeling of this game of prey, "Li Jing, come out, your trading company has been seized!" ”

He glanced up at the plaque of the trading company, and the four big characters of the Li family trading company were extremely clear under the light of torches as bright as day. He sneered in his heart, thinking of the dynasty in the Central Plains, the surname, and the four words in front of him seemed to have become the four big characters of the Li family in his eyes.

Yelu Deguang couldn't help but think of the Khitan army's large-scale attack on Youyun City, always because the Tang Dynasty's reinforcements were always not pleased, and he remembered Li Jing's possible identity as a Tang Dynasty spy, and he had a bad feeling of being played by the prey in his heart.

"Bring the bow!" Yerod let out a low snort, took a big bow from the guard's hand, pulled out an arrow from the quiver, pulled the bowstring, aimed at the four big characters on the plaque, laughed cruelly, let go of his finger, and the iron arrow went straight to the plaque!

He's going to smash that plaque, he's going to smash the country ruled by that surname! There is no need for a reason, just because he only wanted to do it, then he did it! Who can help him?

The iron arrow was like a bolt of lightning, cutting a straight line in the air, heading straight for the first "Li" word!

How fast is the arrow off the string?

But someone is faster than him!

A dark shadow leaped out of the door almost as Jerod's fingers loosened, and he jumped to his feet. When a person is in the air, he reaches out and grabs it, and the iron arrow, which is as invincible as its master, is firmly grasped by him!

This is a man with an ordinary face but extraordinary vicissitudes, except for a pair of eyes like eagles, and he carries six knives on his back.

Ding Hei threw the iron arrow on the ground, glanced at the angry Yelu Deguang, and stood at the door with his arms crossed, not bothering to say a word.

Although he didn't speak, his meaning was clear: I'm standing here, no matter how many arrows you shoot, don't think you can destroy the plaque in the slightest!

Yerod Guang was annoyed and angry, and he whispered, "Look for death!" Raising his hand, he gave an order to the Khitan sergeant behind him, "Destroy him for this king!" ”

Countless sharp arrows were aimed at Ding Hei, who was standing alone, and the next moment the iron arrows in their hands could make the other party be pierced by ten thousand arrows, but Ding Hei stood there motionless, not even putting on a defensive posture, as if he was not facing a rain of murderous arrows, but a gentle breeze.

"Yelu Deguang, you dare to kill my envoy of the Tang Dynasty, does the Khitan want to start a war with the Tang Dynasty?!"

A calm voice came from inside the door, there was no angry tone, no high-decibel sound, only to ensure that everyone could be heard clearly, but the coldness and murderous intent in it were even stronger than this night!

Li Congjing, who was dressed in a scarlet military general's robe, walked out of the courtyard with his hands in his hands, eleven golden jade belts around his waist, and a pair of unicorns on his chest with teeth and claws, as if he was about to fly out of the robe, he stood at the gate of the courtyard, the clouds were light and the wind was light but majestic.

At the moment he appeared, two rows of honor guards poured out from his side, arrived outside the courtyard gate, and stood face to face with the Khitan sergeant. The honor guard was too big, and there were a lot of flags, so there were many people holding cards, and they rushed out, not avoiding the swords of the Khitan sergeants, and posing in a position according to the specifications, and the officials at the front were already nose-to-nose with the Khitan sergeants!

Behind Li Congjing, a large group of civil and military officials either stood with their hands in their hands, or stopped with their swords, and one by one their eyes crossed the corner of their mouths twitching Yelu Deguang, and looked up at the sky.

A middle-aged civil official who was also wearing a scarlet official robe walked up to Li Congjing, stood side by side with him, looked at Yelu Deguang and smiled faintly: "This is Abaoji and Yelu Deguang?" The posture of ordinary people! ”

"Li Jing, what are you doing?!" Yerod was stunned for a long time and then said angrily, he is not a fool, he recognized something when he saw the other party's battle.

Li Congjing stretched out his hand to his side, and an official respectfully handed him a simple paperwork. He looked at Yelu Deguang indifferently, and said in a tone that Yelu Deguang couldn't understand: "Feng Dao, the squire of the Tang Rite Department, Li Congjing, the defense envoy of the northern Tang Dynasty, led eighteen civil and military officials, and a guard of honor to envoy the Khitan!" "Hand over the paperwork," the credentials are here. Yerod light, do you take it, or don't you take it? ”

When he heard Li Congjing's three words, Yelu Deguang was stunned for a while, and then his face was like a black stone, "You ......"

Yelu Deguang had long expected that Li Jing was not a simple businessman, but he never thought that Li Jing was Li Congjing! He is not Ming'an, what kind of person is Li Congjing, how can he not know?

"Li Congjing? Good, good, good! Yelu Deguang desperately controlled his emotions and stared at Li Congjing, "So, the night attack of the Tang Army in Hulukou was your internal response?" Traveling all the way from Youzhou to the West Building, you are all playing this king! Merchant, haha, what a merchant! Li Congjing, you hide so deeply! ”

Li Congjing smiled slightly. After discussing with Mo Li that day, he ordered the envoys who were slowing down behind him to speed up, and there was no fanfare along the way, and Feng Dao and the others were only worthy of arriving today, and the reason why they acted so unruly was to face the current situation. He said tepidly: "This is all thanks to the prince's hospitality, otherwise how could I have come to the West Tower smoothly?" The prince's kindness is remembered in the heart. ”

"You ......" Yelu Deguang was so angry that he almost vomited blood, "Li Congjing, you are playing this king like this, do you really think that this king will not dare to kill you?" ”

Li Congjing didn't care, "Killing the envoy means the next war book, if the Khitan wants to fight a decisive battle with the Tang Dynasty, why should the Tang Dynasty be afraid?!" He smiled, "But, Jerod Light, do you dare?" ”

Jerod couldn't control his feelings, but he didn't lose his mind, and he said cruelly: "Envoy? No one saw the envoys here, all the king saw was a group of merchants hiding Khitan repeat offenders! You say, if you kill such a few businessmen, will Datang start a war with the Khitan? ”

Li Congjing raised his eyebrows, "In that case, then why don't you do it yet?" ”

"Do you really think this king wouldn't dare?" Yelu Deguang was angry, asked sharply, and waved his hand, "In Khitan, there is nothing that I, Yelu Deguang, want to do but dare not do!" ”

Li Congjing and Feng Dao both sneered, and Feng Dao shook his head even more, as if he didn't want to talk to Yelu Deguang. Li Congjing had a good heart, gave Yelude a face, and said: "Then today, in front of me Li Congjing, your undefeated golden body is probably going to be broken." Yelu Deguang, the national book is here, and Li Congjing's head is also here, which one do you want to take? ”

Yelude's face was cloudy, he seemed to be hesitating and tangled, in Li Congjing's eyes, his whole person didn't seem to be very good, and there was a painful breath all over his body.

Finally, Yelu Deguang roared, "In the Khitan, I, Yelu Deguang, is the unrivaled king!" Come on, chop them up for this king! ”

Li Congjing was stunned, and he didn't seem to expect Yelu Deguang to be so ruthless, and scolded me fuck, and was about to pull Feng Dao back.

In fact, this can't be blamed on Yelu Deguang, it is indeed Li Congjing who gave Yelu Deguang too much blow. How much trouble the battle of Hulukou caused to Yelu Deguang is not something that can be said in a word, the key is that for so long, Yelu Deguang put down his body to make friends, which is also an unprecedented thing, it is nothing more than trying to dig out Li Congjing's identity, but in the end he failed to do so.

In the end, Yelu Deguang expected that Li Congjing was a spy, but how could he have thought that this businessman Li Jing was his fierce rival who was determined to be defeated in a battle? Before he went to the battlefield, Yelu Deguang was played by Li Congjing, like a monkey, how could the arrogant Yelu Deguang accept it?

Regardless of these, Li Congjing's scheming and courage also made Yelu Deguang extremely jealous, so he decided to simply kill him, even if there would be a lot of trouble.

"Stop, Prince!" At this time, a horse rushed from the street, and it turned out to be a person dressed as a palace eunuch, he still held a simple document in his hand, and ran to Yelu Deguang and Li Congjing after dismounting, and barely stabilized his mind, "The emperor's edict: the marshal collects the troops, the Tang envoys move into the post house for a while, and the court will summon them tomorrow!" ”

Li Congjing and the others turned from danger to safety, and when they looked at Yelu Deguang's gaze, they were even more playful. Touching Li Congjing's gaze, Yelu Deguang roared angrily: "There are no Tang envoys here, how could the emperor give such an order?" Wait for me to take down this group of profiteers, and then go back to the emperor to get his life! ”

"Marshal, by no means! The emperor has a message! The eunuch hurriedly ran to Yelu Deguang, and whispered to him with a complicated face: "The emperor asked the servants to tell the marshal that Li Congjing had just delivered the credentials to the palace, identified their identities, and publicly disclosed their identities in the West Building. Now, everyone in the world knows that Li Congjing and others are envoys of the Tang Dynasty! ”

"What?!" Yelu Deguang looked at the "national letter" in Li Congjing's hand with a disgusted expression.

The eunuch sighed and continued: "The emperor ordered the marshal to enter the palace quickly after collecting the troops, there is a major military situation!" ”

"What military intelligence?"

"The Gubeikou garrison reported urgently, and 30,000 Tang troops suddenly appeared at the border a few days ago! Its roaming activity is frequent, and there are signs of great war! This shows that it is Li Congjing's backhand, if we are not good for them, the 30,000 Tang army may attack the grassland at any time! The eunuch said bitterly, he should be of a very high status, so that he can know these things.

"How dare Tang Jun?!" Jerod was furious.

The eunuch's eyes were strange, and he had to be honest: "They really dare!" Another military report: Recently, several small and medium-sized tribes in southern Xinjiang, including the Hebu Department, were attacked by the cavalry of the Tang Army, the tribes were destroyed, and the adult men in the tribes were all killed, and none of them were spared! And these Tang troops threatened that they were sending troops to Jizhou for the former Japanese marshal to ask for an explanation! ”

Jerod nearly fell off his horse. He pointed at Li Congjing, gritted his teeth and said tremblingly: "Li Congjing, you ......"

Li Congjing smiled, "I'm fine, thank you prince for your condolences." ”
