Outside the palace of King Wen, in the Duan family's mansion, the high-level members of the Dali relics gathered together, the patriarch Duan Li, the minister of the Ministry of Industry Duan Shaojie, the clan elder Duan Zun, the commander of the Dazhou City Defense Army Duan Zhengxia and others were all sitting inside.

"How's the preparation?" Duan Li looked at the few people in the room and asked.

Duan Shaojie smiled slightly and replied, "Wen Yuancai has already promised that he will help us compete for the command at the court meeting in a few days." ”

With a sigh, Duan Li said slowly: "Since Wen Yuancai agreed, he can take advantage of the situation to find a way to persuade Guo Fengjie, he and Wen Yuancai have always had a harmonious relationship, if we can convince the two of them, there are already three of the six ministers standing with us, and if we win over some of the department heads, the competition for the position of the commander can be roughly finalized." ”

Everyone in the hall smiled slightly, Duan Zun held on to his crutches, and said in a deep voice: "Don't be careless, even if we unite Guo Wen and the two, if Song Kai and Xu Xuanrong join forces, they will be able to compete with us." ”

"I'm not worried about this," Duan Shaojie smiled and explained, "Even if they want to compete, the question is, who can they recommend? I can't see which of the people under them are qualified enough to compete with us, could it be that the two of them will personally participate in the competition? What about the ministers of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War?"

"Besides," Duan Shaojie smiled a little evilly, "that Xu Xuanrong seems to be on good terms with King Wen, the two of them are dry firewood, how could the prince be willing to throw her to Chongqing." ”

Duan Zun shook his head: "I still have to guard against it, these people in the Wen Party have always been weird and cunning, who knows if they have hidden any backhand." ”

Duan Li smiled and said indifferently: "In short, Shaojie, you continue to find a way to contact Guo Fengjie here, and if you can, you can explore Zou Buyi's tone by the way, and in addition, prepare a banquet tomorrow night and invite Xu Xuanrong to the banquet." ”

*——*——*——*

"Lord Wang, are we really not going to compete for the commander of Chongqing?"

In Han Derang's newly purchased mansion in Chengdu Mansion, several important ministers of Western Liao surrounded Han Derang, full of anxiety, but the latter's face was relaxed, and he was writing on paper with a wolf in his hand.

After the last stroke was finished, Han Derang threw away the pen and looked at his character with a smile, on which was the word "let", with sharp strokes, revealing a strong battlefield atmosphere.

"What are we going to fight?" Raising his head, Han Derang looked at everyone with a smile, "We have just arrived, and our relationship with the high-level of Wenbang is not as high as that of the White Wolf Society, what should we do to fight for this Chongqing commander? Or will this king personally go into battle? Who will sit in the position of deputy minister of war?"

Waving his hand, Han Derang said lightly: "I have been trapped in the Western Regions for many years, the territory is narrow, there are not many people with experience in managing the land along the way, and there is only one king who has come to Wenbang, even if you try your best to grab it, which of you can take care of Chongqing Road?"

"Then give it to people like this?" one person was a little unwilling, gritted his teeth and said, "If we can occupy such a heavy military land, even if we can reverse this great ...... in the future"

The tiger's eyes were sharply glared, and Han Derang's eyes swept coldly towards the man, and the body of the scribe suddenly trembled.

"This kind of thought, before we can defeat King Wen, Xi Shi, and the Five Spirits Fanyi Sword Formation, it is best never to have it," Han Derang glanced at everyone and said coldly, "Do you think it was still the time of Western Liao? Now we are millions of Liao people, and there is only one Seven Realms of this king, rebelling against Wenbang? We are sandwiched between the Great Song Dynasty and Wenbang, how long do you think we can live?"

Seeing that everyone was silent, Han Derang smiled leisurely: "However, who would know that we don't want to fight?"

The others didn't understand what he meant, they were all a little confused, Han Derang didn't explain much, and said with a smile: "Send someone to tell Bai Qiuyu that my Western Liao departments are willing to help him compete for the command of Chongqing Road, but as a price, we want at least four state pastors!"

*——*——*——*

A few days ago, Li Yilin, who received the military order, led the Beast God Army to set off to return to the garrison in Luzhou, but Sichuan and Chongqing are mountainous, even if the wolf rider under his command rushed back from Chongqing Mansion non-stop, it took more than ten days.

As soon as he returned to Luzhou, Li Yilin hesitated a little, and then ordered several battalion generals to lead the team back to the barracks alone, and he changed his horse and returned to his general's mansion first.

Looking at the gate of the General's Mansion as calm as ever, Li Yilin sighed in his heart, it has been nearly a year and a half since he left, and he doesn't know how that woman is doing, whether she is still so gentle and gentle, and whether she has ever remembered herself.

Standing at the gate, Li Yilin sighed alone for a moment, and suddenly noticed that the guards at the door looked a little strange, and immediately frowned: "What's wrong?"

The guard hurriedly clenched his fists and replied, "General, a few people dressed in Xiliao have just visited, and Madame has brought them into the backyard. ”

"People dressed up in Xiliao?" Li Yilin was slightly stunned and frowned, "Do you have an explanation of the origin?"

"No, they just said they wanted to see Madame, and Madame took them in when she found out. The guard bowed his head and replied.

Yelu Caifeng is the princess of Western Liao, and now a large number of Liao people have moved into Sichuan and Chongqing, and it is normal for someone to visit, but for some reason, Li Yilin always has a little indescribable taste in his heart, thought about it, snorted coldly, and strode into the general's mansion.

Knowing from a servant that Yelu Caifeng had taken someone to the study, Li Yilin walked over quickly, and before he got close, he had already seen several Liao people with swords standing at the door of the study, as if they were on guard.

"What person?" Seeing Li Yilin hurrying over, a Liao man raised his knife and shouted coldly.

"Who am I?" Li Yilin laughed angrily and said coldly, "Ask me who I am in my home, who gave you the courage?"

Seeing the movement here, the guards of the General's Mansion not far away all gathered quickly and stood around Li Yilin to confront those Liao people.

Just when the two sides were about to fight, they heard a creak, the door slowly opened from the inside, and a burly middle-aged man walked out of it, looked at the situation outside, and his thick eyebrows were wrinkled, but when he saw Li Yilin, the man's face suddenly relaxed, laughed and walked up quickly, and Lang smiled: "This is the master of the horse, right?"

"Who are you?" Li Yilin waved his hand to signal the guard in front of him to get out of the way, and looked at the man fearlessly.

The man smiled, as if he didn't care about Li Yilin's hostile gaze, and replied with a smile: "This king, Han Derang, the regent of Western Liao, was invited by your prince not long ago to serve as the deputy minister of the Ministry of War. ”

Li Yilin frowned slightly when he heard this, although he was far away in Chongqing Mansion, he had also heard of Han Derang's existence to some extent, and his tone was slightly softened at the moment, and he hugged his fists and said: "Regent." ”

Han Derang said with a smile: "Xiliao is dead, in the future, you and I will be regarded as officials of the same dynasty, and the title of regent will not need to be said in the future." ”

Li Yilin was silent for a moment, and said with his head bowed: "Lord Han." ”

Han Derang laughed: "This time, millions of people in my Western Liao moved into Dawen, and it can be regarded as completely tied to Dawen. ”

Although Li Yilin used to be a dick, but he has been commanding troops and fighting for many years, and his mind has long matured, and when he heard this, he immediately frowned and said: "How to settle the Liao people is the responsibility of the household department, I am just a town general, how can I have the right to speak?"

"This is a bad word," shaking his head, Han Derang smiled and said, "If it is other town generals, it may not work, but with the relationship between the concubine and the prince, a little suggestion will carry more weight than me." ”

Frowning, Li Yilin suddenly looked inside the house, and saw that Yelu Caifeng had never appeared, and suddenly frowned: "Where is Caifeng?"

Seeing that he suddenly avoided the topic, Han Derang's eyes were slightly cold, and then he regained his warmth: "Princess, she ......"

"Get out of the way!" Li Yilin's heart felt more and more bad, and he suddenly snorted coldly, and rushed to the house quickly, Han Derang hesitated slightly, helplessly let the way of the road, and let the other party rush into the house quickly.

As soon as he walked into the study, Li Yilin had already seen Yelu Caifeng putting on the veil in a panic, although the beauty had already put on the veil in the blink of an eye, Li Yilin still saw a clear palm print on the other party's face at that moment.

was obviously extremely repulsed by the woman in front of him, but when he saw the palm prints on her face, Li Yilin's face suddenly turned red, strode in front of her, grabbed her shoulder, and then carefully reached out and took off her veil, revealing a pretty face that was slightly swollen because of a slap.

Yelu Caifeng, who had never enjoyed such gentle treatment, forgot the pain for a moment and looked at him in a daze.

Staring at those eyes as beautiful as the moon, Li Yilin couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke the palm print on her face.

Withdrawing his hand like an electric shock, Li Yilin calmed his face and said softly: "Does it hurt?"

"It's okay, it's okay......" A little unable to withstand the other party's burning gaze, Yelu Caifeng subconsciously lowered his head.

Looking at the delicate woman in front of him, Li Yilin took a deep breath, turned his head to look at Han Derang and the others who had just walked in, and said coldly: "Who beat it?"

Glancing at Yelu Caifeng, Han Derang had just a little smile on his face, and then heard Li Yilin shout angrily: "Who beat it?"

"Lao Tzu hit, what's wrong?" a strong man stepped forward and said angrily, "You are my Xiliao royal family but you don't want to help my people, Lao Tzu can't look at it and slap her, what's wrong?"

Li Yilin's eyes swept him coldly, and suddenly with a flick of his wrist, a halo glowing with gold and silver brilliance flashed out of thin air, accompanied by the wolf howl that exploded the heavens and the earth, and smashed towards the strong man.

The strong man spat, the muscles of his whole body suddenly tensed, and he was about to make a move, when he felt a strong qi swept from the side, and it quietly locked his whole life in place.

Looking at Han Derang beside him in shock, the strong man didn't have time to speak, and the war knife that had just been chopped out had been shaken away by the aura, and then the aura struck up, completely blowing through his entire chest.

Killing the strong man with one blow, Li Yilin raised his hand to recall his halo, and looked at Han Derang with a clear eye: "Get out!"

Han Derang smiled slightly, glanced at the beast god ring that was gradually converging the light, and frowned: "The horse ......"

"I said, get out!" Li Yilin said coldly.

Rao is Han De made the city deeper, and was scolded twice in a row by a junior, and he also felt that his face was dull, he snorted angrily, walked out of the study with his sleeves, and left here with the people of Xiliao.

After Han Derang and the others left, Li Yilin silently put away the beast god ring, turned around and looked at Yelu Caifeng, who was watching Han Derang and the others leave in a daze, and found that he couldn't help but turn his face away.

Li Yilin, who was originally full of anger, saw her action, suddenly smiled lightly, reached out and pressed her shoulder, and waited for the beauty to look surprised, and then said slowly: "You are the golden princess, my Li Yilin's woman, remember, whoever dares to bully in the future, just tell me, and I will help you solve it!"

His mouth opened, and Yelu Caifeng hesitated: "But the regent ...... him"

Shaking his head, Li Yilin said solemnly: "Don't worry about him, this is the Dawen city-state, he is now the deputy minister of the Ministry of War, and your husband's backer is much stronger than him." ”

Yelu Caifeng looked at him in a daze, suddenly seemed to think of something, his eyes were a little shy, and he lowered his head and nodded.

*——*——*——*

"This Han people simply don't know the height of the sky!"

"That is to say, and the princess Caifeng, who is timid and afraid, the empress will marry her in vain!"

After leaving the General's Mansion, everyone in Xiliao scolded angrily, but Han Derang raised his head and laughed silently.

"My lord, why are you still so happy to watch?" one of the attendants asked curiously, a little puzzled when he saw this.

Han Derang smiled slightly, turned around and asked, "Didn't you find out before, isn't this concubine very fond of the princess?"

The attendant nodded stunnedly: "Yes, this ...... What's going on here?"

"What's more, it's easier to be provoked than being bullied by your own woman? And after this incident, do you think that the master of the horse will still be as indifferent to Yelu Caifeng as before?"

Seeing that everyone was showing thoughtful expressions, Han Derang smiled faintly: "If we want him to help us, there has never been only such a way as direct union, and the wind on the pillow is more effective than most of the strategies in the world." ”

*——*——*——*

"These days, all kinds of news are rampant in the streets and alleys of Chengdu Mansion!"

In the flower garden in the backyard of Xu Xuanrong's house, Yao Ruoyu was lying on a special beach chair and laughing slowly.

Xu Xuanrong sat cross-legged on the lawn, running the "Chaos Sutra" to absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, with the fact that she has now comprehended part of the foundation of the origin of the Heavenly Dao, when absorbing the spiritual energy, there is no need to deliberately distinguish the attributes, and directly absorb all of them, which is similar to Yao Ruoyu's Ending Heavenly Dao.

Nine weeks later, Xu Xuanrong slowly put away his spiritual power, opened his eyes to look at him, and said with a smile: "Let's hear it." ”

"It's nothing, it's just how Duan Li won the hearts of the people when he was in Dazhou, how he loved the people like a son, and how well Huang Kuankuan governed the local area in Shunzhou. ”

Halfway through speaking, Yao Ruoyu suddenly sat up and said with a smile: "Do you feel familiar?"

"Isn't that what we used to promote you back then?" Xu Xuanrong pursed his lips slightly and chuckled, "I thought they would improve over the years, but I didn't expect it to be the same routine back then." ”

"But the effect is still good," Yao Ruoyu said, "at least many people think that both of them are good officials of the first class, and on weekdays, the market is arguing about who is more suitable to be the commander." ”

"It's a pity, it's all useless. Xu Xuanrong laughed.

"yes, it's all useless. Thinking of seeing that person in the Tianji room that day, Yao Ruoyu smiled lightly.

Perhaps everyone in the world thinks that there is no one under them who can serve as a commander, but the world is impermanent, who would have thought that he had already determined the candidate?

Pursing his lips, Yao Ruoyu didn't continue the topic, but asked with a smile: "Listen to Kai Kai, you handed over the intelligence network of the Lily Sect to him two days ago?"

Xu Xuanrong pursed his lips and smiled: "Yes, they came with Han Derang and his party, and after they came to Chengdu Mansion, they found me, saying that they wanted me to succeed as the sect leader and help the Lily Sect become the only religion in Wenbang." ”

"Why didn't you agree?" Yao Ruo said with a foolish smile.

Giving him a blank look, Xu Xuanrong said angrily: "Have you been promoted from the Lily Holy Maiden to the Lily Sect Master?"

Blinking his eyes, Yao Ruoyu smiled and said, "Sounds cool!"

"Cool you ball of yarn!" Xu Xuanrong pouted, "Those elders chattered around me for a long time, saying that it was not easy for the master to train me or something, what the hell, when the master took me as an apprentice, those old men blew their beards and stared at me one by one, and now they have come to pay it off?

Yao Ruoyu smiled, don't look at Xu Xuanrong's calm and calm appearance on weekdays, in fact, his real personality is similar to Li Huan, he is very bad, he didn't chop up those old guys, he was already worried about his master's affection.

However, thinking of Xu Xuanrong's master, Yao Ruoyu frowned, he already knew from Han Derang that it was this Lily Sect leader who betrayed Western Liao and handed over the information of Western Liao's defense to Mongolia in the first place.

Since Western Liao was annexed by the Jin State, this person has disappeared, has not appeared to this day, and does not know where he went.

It's just that inexplicably, Yao Ruoyu has a premonition in his heart that the other party seems to be lurking under the chaotic tide of China, secretly planning something.
