Chapter 5: Old Things

Yelu Nanxiu's pupils shrank, and the movements of his hands also stopped, and said, "How do you know my name?" ”

Nie Yan saw Yelu Nanxiu asking, and she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and there was still hope for her to continue.

"Not only do I know your name, I also know that you have an elder brother, Yelu Beiming, who died eight years ago on the battlefield of fighting for the Twelve Cities of Songyun with the State of Chu! And you, to this day, are still investigating the cause of your brother's death! ”

Nie Yan threw out the hole cards in her hand, she didn't dare to play with Yelu Nanxiu, if Yelu Nanxiu didn't want to talk to her anymore, then this hole card would be a waste card at all!

According to the description of her father in Nie Yan's memory, Yelu Nanxiu and Yelu Beiming are brothers born to the same mother, and they have had a very good relationship since childhood. After the news of Yelu Beiming's death in Songyun spread to the Khitan, no one in the entire royal family was obsessed with whether Yelu Beiming died on the battlefield or there were other causes of death, including their father, and Yelu Khan did not investigate.

Because of the death of Yelu Beiming in that war, the Chu State did not want to really start a full-scale war with the Khitan, so peace talks began, and sixty percent of the twelve cities of Songyun were used as compensation for Yelubeiming's death.

Therefore, the Khitan no longer investigates the cause of Yelu Beiming's death, even if everyone suspects it. Only Yelu Nanxiu, who has persevered for many years, is bound to avenge his brother.

Fortunately, Yelu Nanxiu and Yelu Beiming have a deep brotherhood, and fortunately, in the Battle of Songyun that year, Nie Yan's father, as the secretary of the military department, naturally knows a lot! Otherwise, Nie Yan may not have a way to save herself today.

"What do you know?!"

When Yelu Nanxiu heard Nie Yan mention his brother's name, his eyes immediately turned red, and the woman in front of him looked confident, so that he finally had a glimmer of hope after years of tracking without clues!

"I can tell you everything I know about Jerubei Underworld, but I have the conditions."

Seeing Yelu Nanxiu's excited expression, Nie Yan knew that he would not hesitate, for Yelu Nanxiu, beauty was definitely not as important as avenging his brother!

Yelu Nanxiu did not disappoint Nie Yan, he did not bargain with Nie Yan, as long as he could know the truth about his brother's so-called "death on the battlefield", he was willing to pay any price.

"What do you want?"

Nie Yan replied, "It's very simple, let me go." ”

This could not have been easier for Jermanansius, and after a moment, Jerman Nansius said, "I promise you." ”

Nie Yan knew that Yelu Nanxiu attached great importance to this matter, and she would not do anything to turn her face and deny people, and besides, Nie Yan now had no other way than to hope that Yelu Nanxiu would keep her promise.

"At that time, Yelu Beiming was appointed as the Khitan commander and competed with Chu for the Thirteen Cities of Songyun, at that time, the Khitan had a slight upper hand under the command of Yelu Beiming, and it was only a matter of time before he took the Thirteen Cities of Songyun, but since the death of Yelu Beiming, the Khitan army was in great turmoil before the Chu State took back the situation, so the death of Yelu Beiming must be related to Chu."

Nie Yan told the old story first, so that Yelu Nanxiu could convince Nie Yan that he did know something about the events of the year.

Yelu Nanxiu said: "Yes, back then, I also thought that my brother's death was caused by a killer sent by the Chu State. But it's impossible! If the Khitan military camp could really allow enemy killers to come and go freely, wouldn't it have been taken by the Chu State a long time ago? Can the State of Chu still be willing to divide the Thirteen Cities of Songyun into six cities for us? ”

This is also what Yelu Nanxiu has always been unable to figure out, although he has doubted the Chu State more than once, but there are too many doubts.

"With the strength of the Chu State alone, it is naturally not possible, but what if there are internal ghosts in the Khitan camp?" Nie Yan said with a sneer.

"Impossible! I, the Khitans, have always been united with the outside world! Not to mention collusion with the State of Chu! ”

Yelu Nanxiu's face turned pale and he flatly denied it, obviously, he could not accept such a fact.

Nie Yan didn't care about Yelu Nanxiu, and then said: "Among the Khitan lieutenants back then, there was a man named Ta Buye? If you have such a person, you can start with him. ”

Yelu Nanxiu's face was even more ugly, he naturally knew who the tower was.

In the battle of Songyun that year, although Yelu Beiming died, but in the end he took six cities, under the reward of meritorious deeds, Ta Bu also as a deputy general, naturally made great contributions, and in the next few years, Ta Bu also had a prosperous official fortune, and was already in an important position in the Khitan.

"But why did he want to harm my brother? If it is to grab merit, he is just one of the deputy generals, even if the main general is not there, the first merit may not fall on his head. If the eldest brother doesn't die, the thirteen cities of Songyun are all my Khitan's, and the tower will also get more credit at that time! What's more, General Tabuye's loyalty to my Khitan is beyond doubt. ”

Yelu Nanxiu subconsciously defended himself, and he didn't know whether it was to prove that what Nie Yan said was wrong, or to convince himself.

"Ta Buye, loyal to the Khitan, but not necessarily loyal to your brother!"

Nie Yan's words became the last straw that crushed the camel.

What Yelu Nanxiu had been unwilling to think about was pointed out by Nie Yan.

If you are not loyal to your eldest brother, who else can you be loyal to? It can't be the father, because the father would not kill his own son! Or at the critical moment of the Battle of Songyun!

The Khitan Khan had a total of five sons, the eldest son was Yelu Beiming, who "died on the battlefield", and Yelu Nanxiu was the third son, all of whom were born by the eldest concubine. The fourth and fifth sons are still immature children and infant babies respectively, and they are not mentioned for the time being.

The only one who is the same age as Yelu Nanxiu's brother is the second prince Yelu Qing.

Yeluqing was not born from the concubine of the Khitan Khan, his biological mother was rumored to be a dancing girl on the border of the Chu State, and was fortunately valued by the Khitan Khan and gave birth to Yeluqing.

Although Yeluqing is from the Chu State, his bloodline is not pure, and in the Khitan, it is unlikely that he will be selected as the heir to the throne, but what if the capable princes are all dead?

Moreover, Tabu has also risen all the way over the years, and Yeluqing has contributed a lot. Yelu Nanxiu saw it in his eyes, but he only thought that this second brother had the hypocritical face of the Chu people, and he sold it everywhere, but he never thought that Yelu Qing had a plan.

Yelu Nanxiu has always been reluctant to accept that unity is like Khitan, and there will also be a power struggle on the side of the Chu State, but the facts are in front of him, and it is more about his eldest brother, so he can't help but think about it.

"If this matter is as you say, Yelu Nanshu will have a great reward! If you lie to me, you should know that it will not end well. ”

After Yelu Nanxiu finished speaking in a cold voice, he casually covered Nie Yan with the quilt on the couch.

Nie Yan blushed suddenly, she was so engrossed in how to get out before, she forgot that she was still unconcealed at this time.

Yelu Nanxiu quickly put on his night clothes again, seeing that this uninvited guest was about to leave, Nie Yan just put down her hanging heart, but because of Yelu Nanxiu's words, her heart was raised to her throat.

"You are just a princess of Southern Xinjiang, how can you know so much about the old things of Chu and Khitan? Why doesn't this king know that southern Xinjiang is already strong enough to penetrate the two countries to spy on the secret luck? ”
