However, Li Keyong could not counterattack Li Ye. Because there are no soldiers and horses.

Not long after Li Keyong killed Li Cunxiao, the guards had just wrapped the opponent's body in a straw mat and were about to throw it away, Kang Junli, who had gone to the Steppe Tatar Department to borrow troops, came back.

He was not followed by the thousands of Tatar troops. He came back alone.

Li Keyong met him in his study.

As soon as Kang Junli entered the door, he fell to his knees and wept bitterly.

He did come back alone, riding alone, not even the guards.

The guards have died in the steppe. Even Kang Junli himself was disheveled, covered in blood, and looked embarrassed.

After listening to Kang Junli's crying, Li Keyong froze in his chair, his eyes stunned.

Something happened in the Tatar Ministry. To be precise, the whole grassland has changed. When the Tang Dynasty was in turmoil and Li Ye sent troops to attack Hedong, the grassland was also in continuous flames, and the battles were one after another.

Every war is inseparable from a name, and that is the winner of every war, the Khitan.

To be precise, the Khitan supported by theistic religions. From a one-step tribe in the eastern grasslands to sweeping the Quartet and defeating the surrounding tribes, it only took a few years for the Khitan to sweep the four directions.

And now, the Khitan border has been pushed to the middle of the steppe, which was originally the territory of the Tatar tribe, and they are one of the most powerful tribes in the steppe, but now they have been defeated by the Khitan army.

When Kang Junli went to the Tatar Department to borrow troops, he was just in time for the Khitan army to sweep through the Tatar Department. Under the iron hooves of the Khitan elite horsemen, the land of the Tatar region for thousands of miles has become a purgatory of blood and fire. Before Kang Junli could meet the leader of the Tatar tribe, he encountered a group of Khitan elite horsemen.

So they fought with each other, and Kang Jun fought and left, and finally fled back to Sene alone.

"The Khitan cavalry is extremely elite, and the proportion of monks is surprisingly high, all of them are good at cultivation, and the guards brought by the last general are strong enough, but they can't even ...... to compete with the other party" Kang Junli knew that he had made a mistake, and knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly. But he can't be blamed for this.

Speaking of this, Kang Junli's eyes showed a look of fear, "The general who led the troops on the other side is very young, but his cultivation is not as strong as words, not to mention the strength of the real human realm." The Tatar officials who greeted the last general recognized him, and he seemed to be called ...... Yelu Abaoji!"

The room was silent, except for the sound of Kang Jun's restless heartbeat. The candle flame flickered softly, the shadows under the curtains flickered from time to time, and the dark corners of the beams seemed to hide ghosts, which could swallow the apprehensive people in the room in one gulp.

I don't know how long it took, Li Keyong stood up suddenly, but his body shook, his face turned black for a while, and suddenly a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he soared a few steps away.

"County King!" Kang Junli was shocked and hurriedly got up to help.

Li Ke broke away from Kang Junli with a handful, raised his head and shouted angrily: "Destiny, destiny!

With that, he spat out a mouthful of blood and sat down in his chair.

"King of the county!" Kang Junli couldn't bear it when he saw this, and hurriedly persuaded: "Don't worry, the king of the county, even if there is no reinforcement from the Tatar Department, we can recruit troops in the four states of Dai, Shuo, Yun, and Wei. With the thirteen Taibao here, the thief army will not be able to capture the city. In time, we will still be able to regain our strength! The king of the county, now we only need to think about the long term, and the victory or defeat is still unknown!"

It's good that Kang Junli didn't say this, but after he finished speaking, Li Keyong vomited several mouthfuls of blood.

Kang Junli was at a loss: "The king of the county ......"

Li Keyong's face was gloomy, and there was despair in his eyes: "Think about it in the long run, but you can't think about it...... The Thirteen Taibao, already dead......"

Kang Junli's face changed greatly, in the current situation, if there was no Li Cunxiao to stabilize the front line and resist the officers and soldiers, Li Keyong and others would not have the time to recruit warriors at all, let alone develop slowly. However, before Kang Junli set off, Li Cunxiao was fine, how could he say that he was dead when he died?

Who can kill Li Cunxiao? The other party is a general, and when he sits in the battle array, the immortal realm can't do anything, who can kill him?

Is it Li Ye?

If Li Ye came and killed Li Cunxiao, how could Daizhou City be so peaceful? How could there be no traces of a great war in the Assassin Mansion, and how could Li Keyong have nothing to do at all?

Kang Junli suddenly remembered that when he hurriedly returned and ran into the mansion, he saw a group of armor soldiers hurrying out of the house with a bloody corpse wrapped in straw mats. He glanced at it and saw a piece of minced meat fall out of the straw mat, seemingly a severed hand......

Kang Junli suddenly realized something, and a chill immediately rose from the soles of his feet, and a chill ran down his spine. This made him shocked, dazed, frightened, and flustered, like sitting on pins and needles, he looked at Li Keyong in disbelief, and remembered the rumors that Li Cunxiao had taken refuge in Li Ye.

He said in a harsh voice, "Could it be ...... Could it be that it was the Thirteen Taibao who was carried out just now?!"

Li Keyong was silent, because he no longer had Kang Junli's voice in his ears, and with his mental trance, he was already in a trance.

Because of his close friendship with the Tatar Ministry, in the early days of the Huangchao Rebellion, Li Keyong also borrowed troops from him when he left the Tatar Ministry, so Li Keyong firmly believed that nothing would go wrong in this case. That's why he was able to kill Li Cunxiao at this time.

Now without the support of the Tatar troops, the defeat of these remnants of them alone is simply not enough to deal with Li Ye's army. Without Li Cunxiao, he couldn't even hold on to the city.

Li Ke's current mood is probably only understood by himself.

At this moment, he may not regret killing Li Cunxiao, but he must regret killing early.

However, the wood is already in the boat, what can Li Keyong do except regret?

What is it like to cut off his arms and destroy the Great Wall, Li Keyong now knows better than anyone else.

The country is in trouble, and the family is poor and thinks of a good wife.

Li Keyong lost his soul and slumped in his chair, where is there still the majesty of a human lord, the majesty of a county king? At this point, all camouflage and hard support have lost their meaning.

"I have heard that Li Keyong, the king of Longxi County of the Tang Dynasty, is a generation of heroes, his appearance is not good, his cultivation is extraordinary, and he has the resources to dominate the world. ”

An arrogant voice suddenly came ghostly, full of ridicule, "This body is not dead, the army is not dispersed, success or failure is still unknown, but the king of the county is so lost and depressed, it is really ridiculous and generous." ”

Being ridiculed like this, Li Keyong was immediately furious, he hurriedly looked in the direction where the voice came from, and shouted: "Who is talking wildly?!"

He could easily see each other. Because the other party is already standing in the yard.

It was a seven-foot man, standing alone in the courtyard. He has an angular face, dressed in the costume of a prairie nobleman, even if he is in the enemy camp, he has a leisurely strolling temperament, full of confidence to look at the world.

Li Keyong didn't recognize the other person, he had never met this person. But this is the Daizhou Assassin's Mansion, it is his land, how can a grassland man appear here? How dare he break into the mansion in a grand manner, and still be ashamed?

Li Ke shouted in a deep voice: "Come on, take this fang!"

No one responded, and there was silence all around, like a wilderness without people.

Rick's heart sank suddenly, and he already realized that it was not good.

When the army was newly defeated, Li Keyong attached great importance to his own safety, so there were thousands of armor soldiers in the Assassin's Mansion. And the shouting order he just gave had already used the power of cultivation, and the sound was enough to spread throughout most of the Thorn History Mansion, but now no one responded.

What's going on?

There is and can only be one answer.

Rick chilled down his back.

At this time, one figure after another appeared ghostly on the courtyard walls and roofs on both sides of the courtyard, and more than a dozen people gathered in a moment. They were silent, facing different directions, and had already set up a vigilant formation.

Among these monks, some were dressed in the usual clothes of the steppe, and some were dressed in black robes.

But no matter who it is, the cultivation coercion that exudes is above the real human realm!

At least a dozen True Realm cultivators! It is not excluded that there are still people who have cultivated to a higher level!

Rick's hands and feet were cold.

Such a force, if it wants to kill him, he will move his head in the blink of an eye.

He stared at the steppe nobles standing in the courtyard.

Li Keyong didn't recognize the other party, but Kang Junli did. When the latter saw the other party, his face changed greatly, and he hurriedly said to Li Ke at this moment: "This person is the Khitan general who led the team to defeat the last general before...... Yelu Abaoji!"

The Khitan eight divisions, each of which has its own faction, were still in the era of taking turns to be the chief a few years ago. Yelu Abaoji belongs to the Diera Department, he is still very young, and his name was unknown before, so Li Keyong naturally never heard of him.

However, just like the chaotic Central Plains, who knew who Li Maozhen was a few years ago? And now, he has actually been in front of Chang'an City, and dared to ask the Son of Heaven to move Fengxiang and coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes!

Since he is a Khitan general who swept the grassland, Li Keyong stabilized his mind and did not want to lose his confidence in front of outsiders, even if he wanted to die, he had to die with dignity, so he asked in a deep voice: "Your Excellency is here, what do you want?"

Yelu Abaoji, who has not yet reached the age of establishment, was already born rich and handsome, and at this moment, listening to Li Keyong's words, he showed a sunny smile.

As he stepped into the room, he said sincerely, "Trust me, my friend, I'm here to help you. I accidentally injured your subordinates in the grassland before, and I didn't want to go, you know, the Khitans are hospitable and don't want to have one more enemy for no reason, so I've always wanted to do something to make up for it. As it happens, we've heard you're running into a bit now...... Well, a little trouble. That's why the High Priest asked me to bring someone over and help you get back on your feet. ”

He entered the room in a grand manner, relaxed and completely defenseless, as if he had entered his own hall, and naturally sat down on the chair that Li Ke had sat on before. Those who don't know still think that he and Li Keyong are best friends.

Li Ke sneered: "I'm afraid you don't know what you're about to face, so you dare to speak so loudly." Don't say that there are more than a dozen real human realms, even if they are doubled, it will not be beneficial to the overall situation!"

Yelu Abaoji shrugged his shoulders and said that he had listened to Li Ke's words, and then he said seriously and easily: "Believe me, my friend, I know better than you how your enemy is...... Well, difficult. Why else did I come in person? What you need to know now is that God is the one you should really worship compared to the Buddha who didn't really help you!"
