Chapter 33 Drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle
"Brother, what kind of reputation do you say Li Heyang has made, you have to come here to intercept people."
The man in black held the bone flute and blew it shortly, with a look of reluctance.
"As far as I know, there have already been two large groups of people from the Jiji Pavilion who have arrived in Beicheng and Liaodan Wang's Account respectively, ready to take them down in one fell swoop—have your people arrived?"
The man in white beside him "snapped" and unfolded his bone fan, standing on the yellow sand, his clothes flying all over the place, looking like a fairy at a glance.
"It's on the way," Fan Wuyi raised a wanton smile, "and it's still running." ”
This man in white is the man next to Li Heyang a few days ago.
Hearing this, he smiled helplessly and shook his head, closed his eyes to feel the direction of the wind, and hung up.
"How?"
Fan Wuyi poked his head over, his expression confused.
"If you are on the top, you will rush up on the bottom. And the wind, coming from the west, the guest wins, and the host is unfavorable. ”
"I see...... Fan Wuyi looked like he was unfathomable, "- what do you mean?" ”
At this moment, thousands of troops and horses that had turned back from outside Pingzhou City rushed towards the two people who were blocking the way with dust.
The man in white still smiled meaningfully, patted Fan Wuyi's shoulder, and ran to the side to watch the play.
"Huh? You......! ”
Fan Wuyi, who was still smiling hippie just now, was furious in the blink of an eye, he half-crouched down, gritted his teeth and roared and punched the ground.
In an instant, a black light exploded, turning into a vertical cone along the cracked ground, and instantly "booming" in front of the Liaodan army.
"The men of Liaodan, charge into battle with me!"
The leader of Liaodan raised his scimitar, flicked his long whip, and rushed over first.
At this moment, hundreds of corpses crawled out of the cracks in the ground and pounced on their horses!
"Xie Bi'an!! I haven't seen you for three years, and you're still so cunning and hateful!! ”
"Well, that's good."
Xie Bi'an shook his fan and half-lay on a branch that couldn't even be touched by dust in the distance:
"It means—it's done."
......
Pingzhou, Beicheng.
"Fall the gates, light the fire!"
On the city wall dozens of feet high, a girl dressed in black stood upright, her long hair was tied up high, and she raised her longbow to aim at the Liaodan generals led by the city, killing her with one blow.
"My senior brother said that since Liao Dan dares to set fire to my city gate, then let them know what it means to play with fire and self-immolation."
"Boss," a person dressed as a person in the Pavilion's side of the girl muttered in a low voice, "This fire seems to have been set by Miss Li." ”
Jiang Tianluo put away his longbow, glared at the person beside him, and then slapped the bow arm on the other party's calf lightly and heavily:
"My sister-in-law taught me martial arts, which is the most kind, if you slander again, be careful of my aunt and grandmother, I cut out your tongue."
"Brother Li's so-called generals of the Lead-in Pavilion turned out to be like this, what kind of system did they become."
Arrows rained down and fires lit up in the city, and there were still people chatting with her about family life.
Jiang Tianluo stood the longbow on the ground, put his hand on the bow, and looked back at the comer.
"Ah, it turned out to be Miss Jiang."
As soon as the other party saw her face, his ears were a little red, and he saluted her gently and elegantly, changing his arrogant appearance just now.
"Is that you? Gu Qingrang? ”
She frowned, looking impatient, "Senior brother asked you to take someone to steal their royal account, what are you doing here with me?" ”
"Miss Jiang, don't worry, such a trivial matter will be completed early next morning, and I have come to meet the girl."
"Heh, you're pretty fast."
Jiang Tianluo turned around, looked down at the Liaodan soldiers who were surrounded in the city, and ordered to stop them.
"Huh? I'm not happy, girl, don't talk nonsense. ”
Gu Qingrang's ears turned even redder, and then changed the topic, "Since these people entered the city, they have been burning, killing and looting, Brother Li explained that he wants to slaughter them all, why didn't the girl do it?" ”
"The evildoers are all the generals who are the leaders, and the ordinary soldiers are just following the orders to fight for the country, and the positions are different, how can it be right or wrong? Why should I kill them? ”
"I didn't expect that the number one killer of the Pulling Machine Pavilion also has a soft-hearted side, and he is narrow-minded."
"Aren't you too?" She looked at the man in Tsing Yi who had never been stained with any blood even in the corpses all over the field, and pointed to a group of Liaodan prisoners who had been brought back to Pingzhou City in the distance, "Gu Gongzi is not a killer. ”
"With you by my brother's side, his path must be easier."
......
There was wolf smoke outside the gate, but there was silence in the Pingzhou banquet.
"Khan, all the horses and grain in our camp have been destroyed, and the army rushed back to support but was ambushed on the way."
"Even the soldiers of the northern city were surrounded, trapped in the city, and arrows were fired in a chaotic manner."
"Liao Dan, defeated."
The Liao Dan soldier's hands trembled and almost collapsed.
"Li Heyang, you!"
The murderous intent intensified in Jerod's eyes.
"The two countries are at war, and you secretly carry out sneak attacks, how can you be so treacherous and cunning?"
"Don't panic, this king just said that he wants to make a bet with the Khan - if this king wins, the Khan will go back, and use the contract as proof that Liaodan will not invade Pingzhou again for twenty years."
"If the Khan wins—then Pingzhou will be yours."
Jerod clenched his fists, and it was evident that he no longer wanted to listen to the word of the king.
Seeing that he was silent, Li Hebiao continued to add fuel to the fire:
"This gamble is set by this king, and this king can play how he wants."
He took another sip of wine and continued:
"But—it's normal for the Khan not to believe in this king, but didn't the Khan himself say it just now? In today's situation, what is the difference between Khan's gambling and not betting? ”
"His Royal Highness King Yi, is it really that I have no one in Liaodan?"
Jerod slammed his fist on the table, and the glass shook and spilled on the ground.
"There are more than a million brave people in Liaodan, but now the Khan's own soldiers are all in my hands, and the Empress Dowager Shulu is in charge of the military power, so let's gamble - bet on whether the Empress Dowager Shulu can save you?"
"Or is she willing to actually get you out?"
As soon as these words came out, all the words of Jerod were choked.
He really didn't have faith.
"Ben Khan sincerely talks with His Royal Highness King Yi, why does His Highness want to force me to a desperate situation."
He instantly lost his previous arrogance as a strong man, and his voice trembled faintly.
"If the khan is still credulous as ever and adheres to the so-called path of justice, he must not be too far from death."
Li Qianyin, who had been silent, spoke slowly, her voice indifferent.
"Li Qianyin! So you're ...... too But you take my Liaodan soldiers to burn the northern city...... Cough...... In order to achieve the goal, even the people will not let go, and the two of you are really hard at heart in this game of chess. ”
He was so angry that he coughed violently.
"This king knows a little about medicine, and it is better for the khan to drink less cold wine."
Seeing him like this, Li Hebiao frowned.
"Ahem...... Your Highness, this wine is not as good as the one in my king's account, and then again, that wine was given to my mother by your emperor of the Central Plains. ”
"Khan doesn't need to be sarcastic, the 'people' in the city are all Pingzhou death row prisoners, and they were meant to be beheaded," Speaking of this, Li Heyang looked at Li Qianyin with some doubts, "Except for the city lord, it is our people, I don't know why Miss Li beheaded him?" ”
"I don't know the identity of the city lord of Beicheng, and that person is absurd and unscrupulous, and he is a beast, His Highness should also look at his character."
Hearing this, Li Heyang was even more puzzled: "Qianyin, you are mistaken, that person is a broken sleeve." ”
Li Qianyin was shocked, and suddenly thought of something, and instantly felt a cold all over her body.
"How is this possible......"
She hurriedly turned her head to the people around her and asked:
"Where's Chu Yuening? Where is she? ”
