Chapter 120: The Blame for Picking Up the Plum Guest

It is said that since Liu Xinyu passed away suddenly, the war in Youzhou has been in a tense state.

Now, Tang Xuanzong has been plagued by a bad disease for many days. Even though the doctors racked their brains to diagnose and treat him, there was not much improvement.

Just when the Manchu civil and military were worried about it, even worse news quickly spread throughout the capital.

Sure enough, Youzhou, which has always been regarded as an important border town, was captured by the Khitan army within a few months without Liu Xinyu's supervision and leadership.

Now, the Khitan army has entered Youzhou City, and then began to burn, kill, loot and do all kinds of evil in the city, and the people in the city have also fallen into dire straits.

As soon as this incident came out, Jingshi was shaken.

However, although the situation was urgent, he could not let Tang Xuanzong know, otherwise it would definitely aggravate his condition and endanger the dragon body. If Tang Xuanzong misses, it will not be as simple as losing the city and land, it will be a storm.

In view of this, the ministers headed by Zhu Jingqi discussed with Gao Lishi, put the matter aside for the time being, and waited for His Majesty's condition to improve, and then informed him.

Ke, who was far away in Youzhou, was overjoyed to learn that Tang Xuanzong was in a critical condition, so that he could not personally manage the government.

Now the Khitan army is full of grain and grass, and has seized Youzhou as a place to live, which can really be described as double happiness.

However, just as the soldiers were rejoicing at this, they were suddenly worried.

Because he knows very well in his heart that although the Khitan army at this moment is strong and strong, it has long lost the prestige of yesterday. Even if the Khitan army had the upper hand at this time, it was a fluke achievement in the chaos within the Tang Dynasty. Once Tang Xuanzong's condition improves, their fate can be imagined.

Now that the Khitan army has just won a great victory, it is inevitable that the soldiers will be proud and complacent. In this state, if you want to compete with it, it is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg when the mantis arm is a car. For the sake of the overall situation, it is suddenly necessary to find a long and safe way out for the Khitan.

Just when he was at a loss for what to do about it, he didn't expect Tang Xuanzong's condition to become more and more serious. Like this, he just took this opportunity to blackmail Datang in order to obtain more land and money.

Without further ado, thinking that the time was ripe, he suddenly sent a letter to Zhu Jingqi ten days after capturing Youzhou.

The letter is called peace talks, but in fact it is malicious blackmail in the name of peace talks.

The content of the letter is roughly as follows: It is not difficult for the Tang Dynasty to withdraw the Khitan army from Youzhou, but it will have to be exchanged for dozens of prefectures and counties on the northern border. Otherwise, the Khitan army will unite the Turkic tribes and other tribes to raise troops to survive. By that time, the war had resumed, and the lives were devastated, and it was out of control.

Seeing this, Zhu Jingqi was immediately angry and gritted his teeth. Unexpectedly, he, a small Khitan leader, would threaten the head of the Tang Emperor.

Zhu Jingqi didn't want to pay attention to this matter, but after thinking about it, if he really forced Ke to be in a hurry, and finally caused him to jump over the wall in a desperate hurry, it would be a big deal. Seeing that the situation was already extremely critical, Zhu Jingqi began to think hard about how to deal with it.

Just when he was at a loss, Jiang Xinghe suddenly came uninvited, saying that there was a way to solve Zhu Jingqi's urgent need.

Seeing this, Zhu Jingqi invited Jiang Xinghe over. Then, Jiang Xinghe told Zhu Jingqi about his plan.

Zhu Jingqi originally thought that Jiang Xinghe came here to discuss with him how to get rid of this big trouble, but he didn't expect Jiang Xinghe to let Zhu Jingqi temporarily agree to his unreasonable request.

When Zhu Jingqi heard this, he was furious and repeatedly claimed that this matter was absolutely impossible.

Seeing this, Jiang Xinghe said unhurriedly: "Taishi, don't be angry, do you think I really want to give up these precious lands to others?" This is just a delaying tactic. ”

"What's the delay? Tell me what you have to do! Zhu Jingqi turned around and couldn't wait to ask Jiang Xinghe.

It turned out that Jiang Xinghe asked Zhu Jingqi to pretend to agree to this matter first, and then stabilize it first. Later, on the grounds that this matter was very important and had to be discussed face-to-face, Ke Yu was suddenly lured to Chang'an City. After Ke Yu suddenly stepped into the capital, he designed to eradicate his secrets. As long as it can die suddenly, the Khitan army will inevitably fall into a leaderless state. At that time, wouldn't it be easy to repel the rebels?

As soon as Zhu Jingqi heard this, he praised Jiang Xinghe as the reincarnation of Zhuge Liang. If this is successful, the two of them will have peace of mind.

And Ke Tu Yu was also hesitant after receiving the reply, although he was a martial artist, he was not a reckless person with a brave and simple mind.

At this time, Ke Yu suddenly realized that this must be Zhu Jingqi's conspiracy. This trip to Chang'an must be very dangerous, and it is likely that there will be no return.

However, there is a way not to enter the tiger's den to get the tiger, as the general of the unified army, they all retreat from the battle, how can they serve the public?

They think they can kill me, but I'm not so easy to bully, so let's see who kills the deer.

Without further ado, after making everything ready, he took a few trusted entourages and set out on the road to Chang'an.

And Zhu Jingqi and Jiang Xinghe have already prepared a death trap for him, just waiting for him, the "prey", to take the bait.

The words were divided into two ends, just as the undercurrent in Chang'an City was surging with murderous opportunities, Mei Yuchen was able to be comfortable in the courtyard prepared for him by Jiang Xinghe.

The bamboo shadow in the courtyard is mottled, and the bright moon is empty. Suddenly, the breeze gradually rose, but when I saw the beautiful woman, I bent down to pick up the bamboo leaves on the ground and stroked them gently.

But he only cares about the tender green and smooth bamboo leaves, and does not check that there are still small thorns to pierce the handle. Although there was no obvious blood, it seemed to be painful.

When I heard the sound of the door cracking, I knew that the unrighteous man had awakened.

When I looked closely, it turned out to be Liu Ruotian.

said that Liu Ruotian and Li Xiangling were both ambushed by Jiang Xinghe that day, and they were so poisoned that they were unconscious.

Just when Jiang Xinghe's subordinates wanted to take Liu Ruotian away, they didn't want him to be rescued by an unknown woman in an instant, this woman was Mei Yuchen.

Afterwards, Jiang Xinghe learned that he had been rescued, and even though he expected that the incident must be related to Mei Yuchen.

However, at this time, Jiang Xinghe loved Mei Yuchen deeply, so he repeatedly tolerated him. Even if Mei Yuchen has inexplicable emotional entanglements with others in private, he can still turn a blind eye and turn a deaf ear.

Because what Jiang Xinghe wants is just Mei Yuchen's skin. As for whose heart she is, Jiang Xinghe doesn't care very much. As long as Mei Yuchen is still willing to be with him, all this is not a problem.

I saw Liu Ruotian walking in front of Mei Yuchen with a smile on his face, wanting to thank her. Unexpectedly, before Liu Ruotian could say anything, Mei Yuchen asked him to leave here immediately.

"You're awake, so let's go! My personal maid will take you out of here, please don't come to Chang'an City in the future. ”

Although Mei Yuchen never looked at Liu Ruotian from beginning to end, fortunately, his tone of voice was quite gentle, and it could be regarded as leaving Liu Ruotian with some affection.

Seeing this, Liu Ruotian naturally didn't want to leave.

In his opinion, although Mei Yuchen wanted to kill him several times, he was able to rescue him many times at the last moment. This shows that Mei Yuchen doesn't really want him to die, but still has old feelings for him, but Mei Yuchen himself doesn't want to admit it.

"Are you going to go or not? If you don't leave, I'll kill you right now!" Mei Yuchen saw that Liu Ruotian still had no intention of leaving, so he couldn't help but stand up and blast him out.

"Okay, okay, I'll go, I'll go! Can't I go! Liu Ruotian saw Mei Yuchen so ruthless, so he had to leave the courtyard sadly.

And Mei Yuchen on the side saw Liu Ruotian gradually moving away, but he didn't react much, on the contrary, he seemed to be very happy.

On the other hand, Liu Ruotian, who was kicked out, had nowhere to go for a while, so he could only wander in the market for the time being.

At this moment, it was close to the hour, and there was no trace of pedestrians on the street.

I saw Liu Ruotian, who was extremely heartbroken, walking alone on a silent and unmanned path, looking very embarrassed.

At this time, he had mixed feelings in his heart, if he said that it was too late to regret it, and if he said that he regretted it at the beginning, it would be even more useless.

Love each other but can't stay together, don't love but prefer to follow her.

At this moment, Liu Ruotian actually hated Xu Ziyan.

If it weren't for her, I wouldn't be here; If it weren't for her, I wouldn't be worse off than dead.

Just as Liu Ruotian was crying against the wall because of this, he suddenly heard the sound of laughter not far away.

Seeing this, Liu Ruotian walked quickly in the direction where the voice came from.

When he walked to the intersection, he saw a small wonton stall and appeared in front of him.

Although Liu Ruotian was already hungry at this time, he had no appetite at all.

Seeing that the steaming chaos was about to be served out by the boss, Liu Ruotian rushed over with an arrow step, and then stared directly at the wontons in the pot.

Seeing this, the stall owner thought he was hungry, so he enthusiastically stepped forward and asked, "Guest officer, what do you want to eat?" I not only have wontons, but also steamed buns, steamed buns, ......"

Unexpectedly, before the stall owner finished his introduction, Liu Ruotian made an incomprehensible crazy move.

I saw Liu Ruotian quickly bend down, and then grabbed a handful of dirt on the ground with his hands.

Before the stall owner could react, Liu Ruotian had already thrown the soil into the pot, and a good pot of wontons was so ruined.

Seeing this situation, the stall owner was shocked and scolded: "You are mentally ill, your brain is broken!" You accompany me to ravioli! I won't do business today, I'll kill you who don't know whether to live or die! ”

At this moment, Mei Jiaxing, who was still eating wontons on the side, heard that there was a lot of noise here, so he hurriedly ran over to stop it.

"Shopkeeper, shopkeeper, you are dissipated, why do you have such a big fire? I'll pay for the damage he caused you! ”

As he spoke, Mei Jiaxing was about to take the silver outside. Liu Ruotian, who was on the side, turned a blind eye to this situation and wanted to leave.

"You're the same person, so good, what kind of sand do you throw into the pot! You'll ...... later."

Mei Jiaxing was about to say something to him, but found that this person was very familiar.

"Wait! You wait! You are...... Liu Ruotian! ”

Before this, Mei Jiaxing had been looking for Liu Ruotian's traces, but he had found nothing.

Just a few days ago, Mei Jiaxing also went to the Liu family's ancient house, but was told by a neighbor that it had already been sold to others.

"Liu Ruotian, you accept your life!"

As he spoke, Mei Jiaxing rushed over with an arrow to catch Liu Ruotian. Liu Ruotian saw that the situation was not good, but he did not be in a daze again, but ran away.

What shocked Liu Ruotian was that Mei Jiaxing, who had always stopped to rest for a long time when he couldn't run far, was like a different person this time, chasing after him and seeing that he was about to catch up.

Finally, Liu Ruotian was physically weak because of an injury, and finally failed to outrun Mei Jiaxing.

After Mei Jiaxing caught up with Liu Ruotian, he did not show mercy to his subordinates, but punched and kicked him.

I only heard Mei Jiaxing say while fighting, I'll let you move, I'll let you move......

At first, Liu Ruotian knew that he was sorry for Mei Yuchen, so he also understood Mei Jiaxing's resentment.

But Mei Jiaxing saw that Liu Ruotian did not resist, and actually intensified against him. In desperation, Liu Ruotian could only choose to fight back.

I saw that Liu Ruotian subdued Mei Jiaxing without much effort, and then pressed him to the ground and said, "You still have Murong Yuping, and me!" I don't have anything! I don't have anything! I don't have anything ......."

Then, Liu Ruotian sat on the ground and cried out loud desperately.

Seeing Liu Ruotian's appearance, Mei Jiaxing's anger was almost gone.

After all, Liu Ruotian has just suffered misfortune, and now he has lost his love. If it were Mei Jiaxing, most of them would have committed suicide at this moment.

There is a way that one yard is one yard, and Liu Ruotian's account can be calculated slowly in the future. Now it is imperative to arrange a place for him to stay.

Although Mei Jiaxing hated Liu Ruotian, he knew that Mei Yuchen was not like this, so he couldn't do too much.

Now, we can only take one step at a time.
