Liu Yu was stunned when he heard this, he never thought that behind Yelu Shilu's arrangement for the group to celebrate overnight, there was actually this layer of calculation. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Even if he was already familiar with the book "Mirror of the Six Armies" taught by Yu Fuzi, compared to the Khitan hero in front of him, he still felt that he was far inferior.

Some people are born generals, and the art of war strategy book is only the icing on the cake for them. -- Jerusherus was one of those people.

Liu Yu grabbed a jar of wine and drank it, wanting to wake up his unenlightened brain, and said: "Khan can be prepared for danger in times of peace, which is inferior to ordinary people. However, those Tubo people should be really afraid, so they will retreat far away, and it is estimated that they will not dare to come again. ”

Yelu Shilu sighed, "Not necessarily, I have ordered the people below to count the battlefield. Tomorrow, everything will be known. ”

At this, he opened his mouth, as if he was a little drowsy.

Seeing this, Liu Yu hurriedly said goodbye.

Jerushlu stopped him and said apologetically, "I'm not old, but my body is old. The energy of the elderly is really not good, and even you are impatient. He changed his words and suddenly asked without a clue, "What do you think of this person?"

Liu Yu heard what he said, and pondered for a moment before replying: "Yelu chose this battle to lead the Khitan heavy cavalry to break the Tubo, which should be the first contribution, and in the future on the Khitan grassland, I am afraid that no one can compare." ”

Yelu Shilu pinched the wine glass on the table in front of him in his hand and kept turning it, "I hope so, he is a good boy, with a kind personality, but he has a bottom line." If he governs the grasslands, the Khitan will definitely be strong within twenty years, and no one will be able to match it at that time. It's a pity that this son is too addicted to martial arts and loves to be competitive. ”

Speaking of this, he comforted himself: "But after all, this is all when he is young, and when he is older and his temperament is slow, his heart will naturally be retracted." ”

Liu Yu listened quietly on the side, for this kind of inheritance of heirs within the Khan family, he is a Han boy from the Central Plains, and it is really inconvenient to intervene. What's more, if the Khitan is too strong, it will not be a good thing for the dynasty of the Central Plains.

He returned to the table and disguised his embarrassment with continuous drinking. After drinking crimson, he got up again to say goodbye to Jerusher.

Under the flickering candle flame, Yelu Shilu's eyes looked a little lonely, "I tried to talk to a few people about this matter, but no one dared to respond to me head-on. So it doesn't matter if you don't speak, I don't blame you. ”

The simple "few people" in his mouth are by no means simple, and they should refer to the old nobles and cronies under his command.

However, even these people did not dare to wade into the muddy waters of "Khan succession", and no one dared to step forward and say a few useful words, which undoubtedly made the old Khan feel lonely.

He struggled to get up from his seat and personally bid farewell to Liu Yu.

This kind of rare etiquette made Liu Yu a little flattered, "Khan, please stay!"

"It's okay, I'll send you. ”

At the moment when the felt curtain was about to close, Jerusherus waved his hand at him. And Liu Yu's gaze fell on the khan's pale sideburns.

He sighed in his heart: "This famous grassland hero is really old!"

Even the Khitan Khan, who is admired by everyone on the grassland, is no match for the silent knife of the years.

According to the guidance of the patrol soldiers in the battalion, he successfully found Xie Anniang's tent. When he got closer, he saw that there was still a trace of candlelight in the gap at the door of the curtain, and he knew that Xie Anniang was still not asleep.

He softly lifted the curtain and saw Xie Anniang wiping the beads of sweat that were constantly oozing from his forehead for the bronze horse in his dream under the lamp.

When Xie Anniang saw him walk in, she put her right index finger to her lips and gently shushed, signaling him not to make too much movement, so as not to wake up the copper horse.

Liu Yu nodded and asked her softly, "I asked Nogi to bring people to get the property, did you give them to them?"

Xie Anniang put the handkerchief soaked in the sweat of the copper horse back into the crockpot with hot water and rubbed it, "Well, that person came, and he only took three hundred taels of gold, and he didn't take one tael more." ”

Liu Yu smiled, "He's not greedy." ”

Xie Anniang wrung out the handkerchief vigorously and put it on the forehead of the bronze horse, "Not necessarily." If people do not seek small profits, they must have great ambitions. This person, you need to be on guard. ”

Hearing her say this, Liu Yu remembered that Nomu had previously concealed his military exploits with Garhai, "You're right, I wrote it down." ”

He spread a piece of woolen sheepskin on the ground, lay down flat, and asked Xie Anniang, who was still busy, "I haven't seen you for a few days, how is the condition of the copper horse?"

Xie Anniang sighed faintly, "It seems that I am more sober, but I am more and more reluctant to deal with me." I even had the illusion that he had recovered from his illness and was just deliberately hiding it from me. ”

When Liu Yu heard this, he jumped up from the ground and reached out to catch the wrist vein of the sleeping copper horse.

The pulse is smooth and pure, not like a crazy and sick person.

His gaze fell on the face of the bronze horse who was still closing his eyes, "I should have known that your illness had been cured, if I didn't guess wrong, on the day King Kui took Li Jing away, the two of you should have met, and he saved you!"

Seeing that the bronze horse who pretended to be asleep couldn't hide it anymore, he sat up from the couch and grinned a sneer at the corner of his mouth, "In the past few days, I have worked hard to mess up the meridians with my true qi and lead you to misdiagnosis. I didn't expect that in the end, I was negligent for a while, and let you find out. ”

His eyes were fierce, and he pointed at Xie Anniang's face and shouted: "You are to blame for everything, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have lived up to the trust of King Kui and his old man, so that my deeds were exposed!"

Xie Anniang's pale hands trembled a little, "I'...... I just thought you would get better soon, and I never thought about that!"

The bronze horse rushed down from the couch, his long knife aside. He stretched out his hand and pulled the long blade out of the sheath with a thud and aimed it at Xie Anniang's neck, "How many times have I told you, I was born a person of the court, and I died a ghost of the court." If you stand in my way, you're my enemy!"

Liu Yu pulled Xie Anniang back, and blocked himself in front of the knife of the bronze horse, "You are a manly man, what kind of ability is it to play prestige against weak women!?"

A fierce light appeared in the bronze horse's eyes, "You get out, I'm going to settle accounts with you next, don't worry!"

Liu Yu stood still, he had experienced a mountain of swords and a sea of arrows on the battlefield, how could he be afraid of a steel knife in front of him.

He looked at the beads of sweat that continued to ooze from the bronze horse's forehead, and asked, "Is it that King Kui has taught you new martial arts again?"
