Everyone held their breath and stared, and they were a little stunned when they saw this amazing skill. Li Qingchou threw the wine jug back into Hu Lang's hand, and the blade of the sword rehooked the three-legged wine venerable, and placed it in front of the soldiers with a click.

"After drinking this wine, would you like to show me a few tricks?" Li Qingchou asked, "In the past, the three moves were defeated, but now there should always be improvement." ”

As she spoke, she stepped forward, as if she would wait by the side if the appointment could not be reached.

Qi Yunfeng was sweating profusely - if Li Qingchou approached within seven steps of the Third Highness, let alone the sword and axe hand, even if the room was full of people together, it might not be as fast as her sword. What's more, Xue Yuxiao himself has martial arts, and he is a white-clothed general who forced back thousands of troops...... She hurriedly waved her hand, asking several people to quickly admit defeat and return to the table.

Several people looked at each other and said, "Such a banquet, I don't dare to use force." Immediately retreated.

There are only two left, Xue Yuxiao and Tuoba Ying.

Seeing that the situation had changed, Qi Yunfeng turned his head and ordered: "Summons the song and dance." ”

"Yes."

A short time later, a group of young Maiko of the Hu people wearing bells on their ankles walked in to cheer up the feast. Xue Yuxiao glanced at it and suddenly said, "These little Langjun have been trained very well by you. ”

Tuoba Ying thought she had an intention: "I can send you, as long as today's deliberation can be completed, how about the twelve little langs, what about dedicating it to you?" ”

Xue Yuxiao said: "Offering men is a symbol of condescension, does the Xia Kingdom want to be a minister to Daqi?" ”

Tuoba Ying's face changed suddenly, he snorted coldly, and whispered through gritted teeth: "Xue Yuxiao, don't be too ignorant." ”

"I'm just too knowledgeable, so I'll come here in person." Xue Yuxiao had a very good attitude, "If you can get Yandu without losing your soldiers, who would be willing to go to great lengths to conquer the city?" It's just that the wolf lord said that the conditions were too harsh and couldn't satisfy me. ”

"You praise them, do they please you?" Tuoba Ying sneered, "After becoming the lord of the country, did you become a womanizer?" ”

Xue Yuxiao laughed and said, "I praise them, I mean that the Third Highness is well-educated, so that the dancing little lang can be equipped with murderous intentions, place the dagger in his sleeve, and be ready to draw the assassination ...... at any time."

Her voice was low, falling into the ears of Tuoba Baby.

"Usually Maiko, the eyes that come from them are just seductive and flattering. And the people of the Third Highness do not seek favor from you at all, not to their own lord, but to watch my every move closely. Xue Yuxiao said softly, "Isn't this a good 'training'?" ”

Her palm landed lightly on Tuoba's shoulder.

Dusting so lightly seemed to dust off her shoulders. However, when it fell on Tuoba Baby, it was like smashing her intelligence and soul fiercely, making people's minds dizzy and scalp numb.

Her fingers were white, and she knew that she was already trying to see the dagger, and she was about to smash the cup, when suddenly a cold and hard object pressed against her waist, and the sharp meaning did not need to turn back at all, and she could feel the cold air in it.

Xue Yuxiao was not in a hurry, reached out and took out the cup from between Tuoba Baby, put it back on the table steadily, and took the vegetables by himself, his left hand seemed to be holding her back, but the golden knife slipped out of his sleeve and pressed against her vest.

"You-"

"Wolf Lord." Xue Yuxiao smiled and said, "This dance is very good, do you know how to dance with a sword, why don't you dance for me." ”

This is exactly what I said. Qi Yunfeng on the side didn't know the situation, and hurriedly signaled Tuoba Ying to agree to come down so that he could stab.

Tuoba Infant has words of suffering, only to feel that the other party is like his own evil star enemy. She closed her eyes and squeezed out a sentence: "Foolish son, you don't know how to dance with a sword, if you want to see it, how about I let you soldiers dance with a sword?" ”

Xue Yuxiao said: "Oh, the woman dancing the sword, the murderous aura is too heavy, how can you watch it at such a peace banquet?" ”

Tuoba Ying had a dagger on her back, and when she heard her say the word "peace", she felt an urge to kill.

Xue Yuxiao turned to ask: "Why don't we talk about the details of the covenant - I can endure it for ten days at the latest, and I must be stationed in Yanjing within ten days before I can agree." What does the Third Highness think? ”

Tuoba Ying opened her mouth to say "no", but was drawn a circle behind her by the blade, she paused, clenched her palms into fists, and said in a low voice: "...... If you kill me, you won't be able to get out of this Ruihuang Palace! ”

Xue Yuxiao said: "Your Highness is too worried, General Li has ten thousand people who are not brave, and she is willing to sacrifice her life to protect her, are you sure that I really can't get out?" ”

Tuoba Ying said: "No matter how powerful she is, she is invincible with two fists and four hands, and if it is really to the end of the road, you will all become the souls of our army's swords." ”

Xue Yuxiao nodded in agreement and said, "Are the Third Highnesses willing to give up this life and exchange it with me?" …… However, it may not be just you and me, the palace is all your confidant ministers, as you said, the four major military supervisors are all on the table, although I can't kill all the military horses in the city, but the dozens of people on this table, to kill, for my two generals and personal guards, it is not a difficult matter. ”

There is naturally an element of exaggeration in this.

Tuoba Ying was sweating, endured it again, and said for a while: "Ten days is too fast, I can't respond." ”

Xue Yuxiao raised his eyebrows and said, "Then it seems that we can't reach a consensus." ”

The two talked in a low voice, and their attitude seemed very peaceful to outsiders. Even Qi Yunfeng and the others below couldn't help but be suspicious, and said in their hearts that the Third Highness wouldn't really be persuaded by her, right? Why didn't you drop the cup or order the assassins, could it be true that you wanted to return Yandu?

Now the city is spreading the word about this matter, and everyone knows that this banquet was held for the sake of the two sides, and if you don't start today, this reputation will be difficult to clear!

Hu Lang, who was dancing in the hall, jumped closer and closer, his eyes were firmly fixed on Xue Yuxiao, his hidden blade was in the palm of his hand, and when the khan gave an order, he could rush forward and exchange his life. But the lord of the kingdom did not say a word.

Someone couldn't hold it back, and tentatively stepped forward and broke through the safe distance. Just as the Maiko spun in front of the desk, Takuba Infant clearly felt the dagger behind his back cut through his coat.

She jerked her head up and glared at Hu Lang. The Assassin was about to make a move, but was glared at by the Khan. The pace under his feet immediately converged, he lost his balance for a moment, fell to his knees, took advantage of the lying posture to cover, completely pulled out the dagger and held it in his hand, and pleaded with his head in the guilt: "Great Khan forgive your sins!" Seeing General Xue's heroic appearance in front of him, the slave was afraid, so he fell to the ground on his knees. ”

The surrounding music stopped for a moment.

This was the Assassins' last and closest chance to happen.

Tuoba Ying hesitated for a moment. She even had the idea of "it's better to fight and die without regrets". At the same time, Xue Yuxiao suddenly whispered in her ear: "What he said is true?" ”

Tuoba replied: "What do you think? ”

Xue Yuxiao hugged the shoulders of the Third Highness, and continued to reach out to pour wine for her, making a sincere gesture and hospitality: "I think that he is afraid of me in front of you, which is really to reduce his ambition and kill his own prestige, I will kill you for you, so as to set the record straight." ”

Taking advantage of her drunkenness, she slammed down Tuoba Baby's shoulders and got up, and drew a sword from the sheath hanging from the wall behind her—

"Xue Yuxiao!" Tuoba Ying was finally furious, got up, looked at him, and saw that the Holy Phoenix Sword that had been hanging in the Fengbei Palace for many years was pulled out by her, revealing a bright blade.

Xue Yuxiao stroked the hilt of the sword and sighed: "The sword of Emperor Gaozu of the previous dynasty who killed Hu Lu was covered with dust for many years. Even if the Xia Kingdom has occupied Shuozhou for so many years, it still hasn't been able to get the ...... it really wants."

Tuoba Ying asked, "Do you know what we want?!" ”

"Third Highness, haven't you had enough days of looting for a living?" She looked at it fixedly, "Can the days of war be raised until the sky is old and last for a hundred years?" ”

The strings in Tuoba Baby's heart were plucked violently.

"I'll give you a real way out." Xue Yuxiao said, "Submit to me, and you can get peace!" ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone stood up with their swords in their hands. Xue Yuxiao held the table with a sword and said with a smile: "I'm drunk, Your Highness don't take the joke seriously." ”

She stepped off the table, lowered her hand and used the Holy Phoenix Sword to pick Hu Lang's shoulder and shirt, and in his subconscious retreat, she suddenly raised her foot and kicked his wrist, kicking the dagger dozens of steps away. Everyone was shocked, staring at her closely, in case the revelation of the deed would cause the two sides to meet each other at once.

Seeing this, Xue Yuxiao raised his head and chuckled, casually walked in front of everyone at the banquet, and said, "The wine is very good, thank you for your hospitality." With that, he went straight to the door of the Ruihuang Palace.

The two generals then got up and followed with their guards. only left the people of Xia Kingdom staring at her back.

Suddenly, Qi Yunfeng stepped forward and said to Tuoba Baby: "Sweat and confusion! Why didn't Fang Cai do it, but let her power overwhelm us and others! ”

Tuoba Baby's face sank like water, and he untied his robe and unfolded it violently to everyone. Only then did everyone see that the back of the shirt had been pierced, and a word was coldly and neatly drawn on it—

Kill.

The crowd held their breath and their thoughts wavered, forming a terrible silence.

Tuoba Ying glanced at this handwriting, sorted out and precipitated her thoughts, after half a stick of incense, the sweat in her palms was finally blown cold by the wind, she lowered her head and exhaled a breath, and suddenly remembered that the people in the city already knew about the banquet discussed by the two sides, and she could not be let go and make the world misunderstand! She immediately raised her head and ordered, "Chase!" Before her military horse convoy left Shuozhou, catch up with Xue Yuxiao to capture and rob and kill, regardless of life or death! ”

Yellow dust and white sun (3)

Chapter 100

Xue Yuxiao stepped out of the hall with the Holy Phoenix Sword before he walked out of the Fengbei Palace, and his drunken state immediately disappeared.

She didn't take the car she was carrying when she came, and the attendant brought the snow and waited for a long time, she took out a scabbard containing the Holy Phoenix Sword from the hands of her guards, turned over on her horse, and said to the left and right: "Order everyone, immediately hurry out of Shuozhou, and anyone who obstructs does not need to ask the reason, and kill him." ”

"Yes!"

The pro-army trusted His Majesty's command ability to the extreme, and without asking the reason, immediately set off for the border between Shuozhou and Xinzhou. Although these two places are called "states", they are actually only one county, far less than the land of Qing and Youzhou.

Everyone rushed out, and the Hu army defending the city of Shuozhou did not get the order and did not dare to stop it. It wasn't until I saw the riverside that had frozen in winter that the sound of boiling smoke and dust was heard behind me.

Xue Yuxiao looked back at the prime minister, and saw that Xia Guozhong was running and chasing after him, and an envoy shouted in Chinese: "The lord of the country stays!" Your Majesty stays! ”

It seems too late to call Your Majesty at this moment.

Xue Yuxiao smiled lightly, glanced at the ice in front of him, looked to the east, and saw the imperial camp in the vast wilderness waiting at the handover place. This is what she had ordered before she set out - to order the soldiers and horses to wait here, and now the time is right.

She grabbed the reins, and the horse immediately stopped. The wind in heaven and earth was silent, and between the cold winds, her snow-white robe embroidered with a golden phoenix floated, her black hair moved slightly, and the ribbon fluttered.

"The general stops." Xue Yuxiao raised his eyebrows and reminded, "If you get closer, you will inevitably have to kill." ”

The pursuers paused and saw the black men and horses not far from the river behind her. The flag was raised, and everyone was eyeing it.

The leader of the generals was suspicious and turned his head to look at Qi Yunfeng in the queue. Qi Yunfeng had discussed with her a meal, and she knew Xue Yuxiao's temperament quite well, she probably guessed that the other party had already expected that there was fraud, so she made all the preparations, as long as she could get out of the North Palace, there would naturally be soldiers and horses waiting to respond.

Qi Yunfeng drove forward, blocked in front of everyone, and put on a smiling face: "Why is Your Majesty like this?" The banquet has not been dispersed, how can you go first. ”

Xue Yuxiao sighed and said to her, "Don't the envoys understand? Hu Lang under the tent of the Third Highness danced, but he held a sharp knife in his hand, clearly intending to assassinate me, Xia Guo did several harms, and there was no desire for peaceful discussion, and then put on such a face to disguise, it would only make the people of the world laugh. ”

Qi Yunfeng said: "That is not my lord's intention. ”

Xue Yuxiao said: "In this case, please invite the Third Highness to Xinzhou for a banquet, and I will invite her back, how about it?" ”

Qi Yunfeng was frightened and did not dare to agree.

Xue Yuxiao smiled when he saw this, and counted a few words almost kindly: "This is the sincerity and courage of His Highness to treat me?" Although I am an enemy of Xianbei, I am benevolent and righteous, and this matter will spread throughout the northern tribes, and it will not be me who will be blamed by everyone. The envoy is still provincial and provincial, let's see you on the battlefield! ”

She turned around and was about to leave, but the clouds behind her hurriedly shouted, "Your Majesty stays-"

Before the words fell, the bow and horse battalion had already set up bows and arrows, and the arrows were brilliant and cold, which was terrifying. Even if Qi Yunfeng is unwilling, he can only retreat, and he does not dare to touch the tiger's whiskers.

Not long after, Xue Yuxiao's figure had already gone straight out of Shuozhou, covered by smoke and dust, and he could no longer be seen.

When Tuoba Ying learned the news that he couldn't keep her, he was heartbroken and depressed. The next day, Xue Yuxiao immediately conveyed the news to the northern ministries, and the ins and outs were extremely clear, whether it was the time, place, or the content of the proceedings, the people of a city testified to it, and it could not be denied.

Originally, after Tuoba Ying ascended the throne and became king, several tribes had been effectively loyal, and when they heard the news, they immediately felt cold and fearful, and deeply reprimanded them for being ruthless. On another three days, Xue Yuxiao ordered someone to write an essay to crusade against Tuoba Ying in order to attack Shuozhou.

This essay is very brilliant, it is a brainstorming, and it was formed by the conspirators of many civil servants in the barracks. First of all, he said that Tuoba Ying "poisoned his sister, swallowed his mother and drove his sister, disregarded his blood relatives, and killed the good ministers of Mingyi", and mentioned that she was defeated in the past and expelled Dugu and did nothing, that is, "Decadent Xuzhou, trapped in Gaoping, lost both ability and ability, and had no room for people"...... Finally, he mentioned this feast and accused her of "disregarding faith and righteousness and failing to bear the grace of God." "The ambition of the wolf is known to passers-by".

As soon as the document was issued, it was immediately spread to Shuozhou, and the people discussed it a lot.

Tuoba Ying received the inscription and the battle post, regardless of the obstruction, unfolded it to take a look, and after reading such a long abusive accusation, he vomited a mouthful of blood on the spot, and was so angry that he couldn't afford to get sick.

Xue Yuxiao was unwilling to disturb the New Year festival of the Han people in Shuozhou, so he endured it for a few days, waited until the fifteenth day of the first month of the second year of Taishi, and on the sixteenth day, immediately sent troops to Shuozhou and came to the city.

On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Tuoba Ying was wrapped in a quilt on the Hu bed and drinking medicine. She has lost some weight, and the woman who was once as fierce and terrible as a tiger and leopard was tortured by Xue Yuxiao's repeated actions to be mentally weakened and had nightmares.

The young man Hu Lang was serving the illness of the lord of the country, and he knelt on the ground and raised the medicine cup above his head. Tuoba Baby picked up the medicine bowl and drank it with his eyes closed.

"Great Khan!" Outside the hall, there was a sudden sound of exclamation, and a staff member entered the salute and said urgently, "Great Khan, the Qi army is coming to the city, and they are beating drums to attack each other!" ”

In Tuoba Ying's mind, a flame that had been burning for a long time and almost collapsed her whole person was blazing to the extreme at this moment. She opened her eyes suddenly, and with intense anger and spirit, she withstood the disease.

Tuoba Ying got up and put on his armor, took out a pair of mandarin ducks that had not seen blood for a long time, and said coldly: "Good, good, good!" ”

She was together, and many of the advisors who hurried outside the temple immediately advised her that this was not a good time to fight, both morally and morally, in terms of strength and preparation. Moreover, among the defenders stationed in Shuozhou, there are a considerable number of Han people who have returned to Shun, just after the festival, people's hearts are fluctuating, and they are facing the army of the Eastern Qi homeland, which will inevitably be shaken and scattered.

Tuoba Ying pushed everyone away violently, and as soon as she was a military general, she immediately pushed a weak scribe into the snow.
