Li Congjing didn't wait too long in the gatehouse, and someone in the mansion soon came to lead him and Li Yanrao in, and after going around and around through countless pavilions and pavilions, the two were taken to the small building where Yelu Min was leaning against the window and looking at the moon before.

Li Yanrao was "stopped" in the lobby, and the house naturally had good wine and meat to entertain, and Li Congjing was led upstairs. When climbing the building, Li Congjing had a strange feeling, as if he was going through a climb and was about to reach a place that could overlook the Khitan and even the entire grassland.

The attic was brightly lit and warm like spring, and the screens and curtains were a little tired, and the delicately dressed Yelu Min stood in the brightest place of the lights, and her gorgeous clothes made her look like a peacock with the screen open. With just one glance, Li Congjing felt a graceful and noble spirit and a deliberate burial edge from the other party - that is the temperament that she will develop after giving orders to people for a long time after being the prime minister of the Khitan Northern Courtyard for several years.

"His Royal Highness King Qin."

"Prime Minister."

The two saluted each other, and Yelu Min beckoned Li Congjing to sit down, and at the same time motioned to the person who led Li Congjing to retreat, and every move was like a cloud and a flowing water without a trace. Returning to the main seat, Yelu Min sat in his robe, solemn but not losing his beauty, and said: "The King of Qin traveled thousands of miles to the north, and he worked hard all the way. ”

Yelu Min has long been familiar with the ability to deal with people, and she has not known how many important people she has met over the years, but her words and deeds are impeccable, not only elegant but also kind.

It's just that at this time, only she knows that her heart is not as impeccable as she appears, and her slightly trembling fingers and slightly flustered heartbeat are indelible proofs. Ye Lu Min naturally found out about this, so she hated herself a little, hating herself for being so uncompetitive at this time.

As if he was angry with himself, Yelu Min asked himself to be mellow as jade in every sentence and action in the future, without half a flaw.

"There is Prime Minister Lao's concern, but the hard work is not enough, and after years of fighting, these are also used to it." Li Congjing felt that Ye Lumin in front of him was awkward, the other party was obviously polite and courteous, even if Feng Dao came, he couldn't pick out half of it, but Li Congjing just felt uncomfortable.

Coupled with the politeness and alienation between Yelumin's words, Li Congjing couldn't pay attention to what was in the other party's heart, so he could only stand still and wait and see what happened.

Yelu Min listened to Li Congjing's words, but his heart was angry, and his eyes almost fell on Li Congjing, and he said in his heart: Do you still know that I miss you? I don't think you mean anything when you look like this!

"I heard that King Qin had just quelled the Liangchuan Rebellion, how could he suddenly come to the West Tower at this time? Besides, Xilou did not receive a message that the King of Qin would send an envoy to the Khitan" Yelu Min glanced at Li Congjing vigorously, wanting to see how you answered.

"In the fourth year of Tongguang, the Tang Dynasty and the Khitan had an agreement that the grassland would not be allowed to see soldiers from now on. This time, the Tang Dynasty heard that the Khitan Emperor wanted to use troops against Heichezi Murowei, so the Lone King came to investigate. Li Congjing saw that Yelumin had a completely businesslike attitude, and he was somewhat unhappy in his heart, and his words were inevitably stiff.

Ye Lu Min said in his heart, you really never cared about me, you came to the West Building completely because of state affairs, I really went to your mother! As soon as he thought of this, Yelu Min's posture became more and more dignified, his temperament became more and more unpleasant, and his tone became more and more unfriendly, "King Qin wants to know whether the Khitan is using troops against Heichezi Murowei, he should ask the emperor, I am afraid that I have come to the wrong place when I come to the cold house." ”

Li Congjing frowned slightly, and said in his heart, even if you don't miss the old love, you can't do this, where did the gentle woman go when you were in Youzhou? Sure enough, once a person has power, he will be changed by power, and he will become impersonal and unrecognizable?

"Inside and outside the Khitan, who doesn't know, the prime minister of the Northern Courtyard is above 10,000 people under the Khitan, and his dignity is unspeakable, but the Khitan emperor has state affairs, and every time he inquires, he will obey you." Li Congjing said in his heart, aren't you corrupted by power, then I will praise you a few words to satisfy your vanity, "If the Khitan really wants to go west to conquer Heichezi Murowei, before meeting the Khitan Emperor, it is always necessary to meet the prime minister first."

When Li Congjing said the previous sentence, Yelumin's eyes were already slightly narrowed, like a cat tickled by someone, and he felt very comfortable, but when he heard the latter sentence, Yelumin couldn't wait to jump up, pointed at Li Congjing's nose and scolded: You really came to see me just for state affairs, and the old lady is no longer serving!

Ye Lumin, who was devastated in her heart, strengthened her psychological defense line layer by layer, and she persuaded herself to abandon those careful thoughts, and only face the negative thief in front of her as the prime minister of the Khitan Northern Courtyard, "King Qin is here to meet, what are your plans, you might as well say it directly." She glanced out the window, "Especially at times like these." Presumably, the matter must be extremely important and urgent, so King Qin should not detour, you and I will be honest with each other, and it is better to be direct. ”

Li Congjing said in his heart that women are really ruthless, I think when I first arrived in Youzhou, you were still like a sparrow around me all day long, and now your wings are really hard, you dare to be so unpretentious to me, Lao Tzu really hurts you in vain!

"Yelubei led the army to the west, aren't you afraid that Yelude will cause trouble on the eastern front?" Li Congjing thought about it, Tao Yao came here some time ago, but she was treated quite friendly, she didn't talk about Yelu Min becoming ruthless, what is going on with Ye Lu Min today? Why are you so cold to me?

"His Royal Highness King Qin calls me by the emperor's name, what is the purpose?" Yelu Min's face was calm, and his voice was cold.

Li Congjing was furious in his heart, and almost got up with the case, but he finally held back, on the surface it was still light and light, but his voice was very cold, "Since the battle of the West Building in the fourth year of Tongguang, the Khitan has called the Tang Dynasty a minister, and the king calls the name of the courtier, what's wrong?" ”

Yelu Min was stunned, and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, which made people puzzled. However, this confusion was fleeting, and she immediately said in a deep voice: "It is true that the Khitan is a vassal to the Tang Dynasty, but not every Khitan is a courtier of any Tang people, and I hope His Royal Highness will be clearer." ”

The corners of Li Congjing's mouth moved, and finally held back his anger, but he had already put the previous doubts out of his heart, no matter how Yelu Min treated Taoyao, but at the moment, her attitude was clear.

Li Congjing didn't go to have a verbal dispute with Yelu Min, he took a sip of tea, calmed down, and then said calmly: "Yelu Bei's expedition to the west, Yelu Deguang will take the opportunity to start an incident, with Yelu Deguang's military talent, he will definitely make his men and horses, at the most critical time of the war on the western front of Yelu Bei, troops under the West Tower." At that time, Yelu Bei will not be able to return to help, and it will not be too difficult for Yelu Deguang to capture the West Tower."

"Xilou is not an empty city, there are not only elite garrisons here, but also countless private soldiers of powerful people, how can Yelu Deguang say that he will capture the city when he captures it?" Yelu Min didn't wait for Li Congjing to finish speaking, and began to refute, "Besides, what kind of combat power the black car is in the room, the Khitan has long been clear, this time the emperor's westward expedition will definitely be smooth sailing, and then triumphant." Although the slave is not talented, he also thinks that there is no difficulty in ensuring that the West Building will not be lost to the emperor's return! ”

Li Congjing had expected that Yelu Min would have this remark, "What if the Tatar Ministry participates in the war and helps Heiche Zi Murwei?" ”

Yelumin was taken aback, "You have already contacted the Tatar Ministry?" "If the Tartars enter the war, the possibility of defeat is still unlikely, but the war will drag on, which creates a lot of time for Jerod Light.

And if Yelu Deguang arranges a chess piece next to Yelubei and does something unseemly, the consequences are only unimaginable.

With the merits and prestige that Yelu Deguang has accumulated in the eastern realm over the past few years, he has won the allegiance of many people, and Yelu Min believes that such a method is not impossible for Yelu Deguang.

And those who were Yelu Deguang's faction in the past, and later were suppressed and excluded after Yelu Bei took the throne, as well as some unwilling forces in the country, will be very willing to help Yelu Deguang "return of the king", hoping that the dragon and the phoenix will soar from now on!

It's just that in a moment, Yelu Min's face changed several times, and she almost jumped in front of Li Congjing, "You united with the Tatar Ministry to help Heichezi Murowei and block the emperor's army of the Western Expedition, and you know that Yelu Deguang will be in the West Tower at that time, what do you want to do?!" ”

Li Congjing stood up and said indifferently: "To this day, Yelubei has disappointed Datang, and Datang doesn't want him to be the Khitan emperor anymore. So Datang decided to change his face and sit in that position. This man is Jerod Light. ”

"You want to help Jerod take the throne? You're crazy! Jerhelmin shouted, and then she immediately lowered her voice again, "What do you get by doing this?" What's in it for Datang? ”

"Brothers fighting each other, raising a civil war, will naturally consume a lot of national strength, this is what Datang wants. From beginning to end, Datang didn't want a behemoth on the grassland, let alone an empire! Li Congjing looked at Yelu Min, "You should know that Yelu Deguang will do something sooner or later, but now it's just the right time." From the moment Jerod did not succeed in preventing Jerod's light from revival, he lost. ”

"Crazy, crazy!" Yelu Min's facial features were all distorted together, "Yelu Deguang is the Khitan Emperor, will he be more worthy of the Tang Dynasty than Yelu Bei?" Don't you know that Yeludeguang's ambitions are much greater and more difficult to control than Yelube?! ”

"Yelu Bei and Yelu Deguang are not the Khitan emperors that the Tang Dynasty wants." Li Congjing shook his head, his eyes were like electricity, "Datang doesn't need an emperor on the grassland, there can only be one emperor in the world, and that is the Tang Emperor." As for who will do it for the Khitan chieftains, I can tell you. ”

"Who?" Jerhelmin was already a little dazed.

"You!" Li Congjing said solemnly.

"Me?" Yelu Min was stunned.

"That's you!" Li Congjing affirmed.

Yelu Min laughed, laughing wildly, until she almost went crazy, during which she did not forget to point at Li Congjing's nose and mock, "Let me be the Khitan chief?" His Royal Highness King Qin, you can figure it out! ”

"Why not?" Li Congjing frowned and looked at the crazy Yelu Min, "You have been in Youzhou for a few years, in charge of the affairs of Tuntian, I have seen it at that time, you have the heart to love the people and help the world, you want to go back to the Khitan a few times ago, I am afraid you also have the idea of doing something for the Khitan people, right?" In this case, you should know that neither Yelu Bei nor Yelu Deguang can make the Khitan people live a good life, only you have the heart and ability! ”

After speaking, Li Congjing looked at Ye Lu Min and waited for her to answer.

Yelu Min stopped laughing, but she stared at the ground with a desk in a daze, and after a long time, she raised her head and asked Li Congjing: "So when Yelude Guang's soldiers come to the city, I want to open the city gate and lead the magnates to welcome the new emperor?" ”

Li Congjing nodded.

Yelu Min smiled, the smile could not be described, poignant, mocking, lonely, unwilling, absurd? None are enough to describe.

Then she straightened her robe and stood less than ten steps in front of Li Congjing.

With those deep pool-like eyes, she looked straight at the heroic man in front of her, and said in a tone that she had never said before: "Kill me!" ”

Li Congjing didn't expect that what he got in the end would be such an answer, he was a little overwhelmed for a while, and he was stunned.

Yelu Min's meaning is very clear, she will not betray Yelu Bei, let alone turn to be loyal to Yelu Deguang, she rejected Li Congjing's proposal today.

And the price of rejection is death. Because she has clearly known the plan of Li Congjing and Yelu Deguang, if she is alive, it means that Yelu Bei will know about this plan.

Time seemed to have stopped flowing, and I don't know how long it took, when Li Congjing slowly spoke, he found that his throat was extremely dry, which made it difficult to pronounce, "What else to say?" ”

The smile that she had before reappeared on Yelumin's face, a little more sad under the dim candlelight, like the beauty of falling flowers in the world, her gaze fell on Li Congjing's face, like a slender finger gently sliding over the other side, "You don't know the concubine, the concubine doesn't know the king, if there is an afterlife, come to know each other again." ”

Li Congjing was silent, and then stretched out his hand and broke Yelumin's neck.

Then he looked up and smiled like a ghost.
