"Master Zongxin, is this the young hero who fought against you yesterday?" Yelu Ruan admired: "Such a profound martial art, I was so scared that I almost urinated." Listen to the Shenwu King, the martial arts you use are the Quartet Rulai Divine Skill that steps towards the sun, right? ”

Zhao Kuangyin said politely: "Back to Your Majesty, this is true, and the magic skills used in the next four directions are indeed like the Quartet." ”

"Okay, good, sure enough, the hero is a teenager. I didn't expect that the Quartet Rulai Divine Skill was really not as powerful as the Jiuyang Burning Heaven Technique. Yelu Ruan is also very happy about this matter, at least it proves that the martial arts that are now the number one in the world are actually not as powerful as the Jiuyang Burning Heaven Technique, but Bu Xiangyang's life is special, and he has a high immunity to the Jiuyang Burning Heaven Technique, so Yelu Zhen is in second place.

This sentence made Zhao Kuangyin not know what to say, if it was someone else, Zhao Kuangyin might go back, but the other party was the Khitan Emperor, and it was already very face-saving for a Han man to chat with him, if he talked nonsense here, he was very likely to be dragged out and cut.

Yelu Ruan continued: "But then again, Master Zongxin is a Buddhist monk, and you should use the Quartet Nyorai Divine Skill. As for Zhao Kuangyin should use the Jiuyang Burning Heaven Technique, if it is on the other side, the few people believe that the person who wins is still Master Zongxin, which has nothing to do with martial arts. In fact, there is no strongest martial arts in the world, only the strongest people. Bu Xiangyang is the first in the world today, even if he doesn't use the Quartet's magic skills, he is also the first in the world. ”

"Your Majesty. "Zongxin actually likes Yelu Ruan very much, because he is very smart and very open-minded. It's not like the average emperor is so discouraged. Yelu Ruan is really a good emperor, far stronger than Yelu Jing. Yelu Zhen was like a mirror in his heart about this, but in order to let his son ascend the throne and become emperor, he didn't care about the overall situation of the Khitan at all.

Even if it is Yeluzhen, he will inevitably have selfish intentions. At this time, Yeluzhen only knew that Yeluruan was a good emperor, but he was very convinced that the Yelujing he taught would definitely be better, so he thought that it was for the development of the Khitan and the people of the Khitan.

"Nautical mile. ”

"The minister is here. ”

"Order the three armies, immediately set off for the desert, and prepare enough wine and food tonight to pick up the wind for this little hero surnamed Zhao. Yelu Ruan said excitedly: "Brother Zhao, it's normal to lose to Master Zongxin, but you are definitely the best among the younger generation, and there are still people with little eyesight." The widow still has a lot to talk about with Brother Zhao, but now he has to deal with other things, and he will talk about it at dinner. ”

Zhao Kuangyin was really flattered, and he almost didn't know what to say when he returned the stupid gift. At this time, Zong Xin's face was very ugly, and he couldn't imagine that Yelu Ruan was so great...... I really didn't read it wrong, Yelu Ruan is a good emperor, a rare good emperor.

Everyone saw that Zong Xin's face suddenly changed, and everyone was concerned about it. Since it was Jeluzhen, it felt very strange. The Khitan Emperor invited a master of the Central Plains to a banquet, and this matter was actually quite common, but why was Zong Xin's face so ugly? I don't understand why.

As the saying goes, bodhisattvas are afraid of causes, and mortals are afraid of effects. For a monk like Zongxin, he is not worried about the outcome, because the result was predicted. But Zongxin is afraid of the cause of everything, can this matter become the cause of anything?

After everyone dispersed, Yeluzhen did not leave, but stayed by Zong Xin and Zhao Kuangyin's side, and accompanied them to the vicinity of the carriage.

"Does King Shenwu have any other orders?"

Yelu Zhen said: "Master Zongxin, you don't know how to hide your heart, everything is written on your face." Zhao Kuangyin, you are right, Zongxin is this habit. ”

"That's~ This is almost Zongxin's only shortcoming, and he can't hide it on his face. When I heard that the Khitan Emperor was going to invite me to dinner, my face immediately became so ugly. That's why I've always called Zongxin a shameless monk. Zhao Kuangyin said: "King Shenwu, do you want to know why Zong Xin's face suddenly changed, right?" ”

Yeluzhen nodded and didn't speak, as far as his understanding of Zongxin was concerned, this matter was anything but ordinary, because Yeluzhen had never seen Zongxin's ugly face so far.

Zong Xin said: "I don't like to lie, Yelu Ruan knows that he will die for a lifetime, but he is concerned about the Khitan, so he wants to buy an insurance." Later, you will know that Yelu Ruan may want to leave a way for the Khitan to survive. ”

"Leave a way for the Khitan to survive?" Yeluzhen was surprised: "What does this mean? Does it mean that he wants to kill you?"

Zong Xin waved his hand and said, "Of course not, Yelu Ruan will not kill us, but will try his best to protect us." You'll find out when it's time for dinner. King Shenmu......"

"Huh?"

"If there is anything I shouldn't say, but...... Everything in the world has developed step by step, which seems to be accidental but is actually inevitable. No matter how hard a person tries, he can't change the will of God, so you must not be too upset, and everything is at the mercy of God. You must know that the foundation of the country is still the people, and you must live for the people. ”

Yeluzhen didn't understand, but he felt that Zongxin was very serious when he said this. And he said that the foundation of the country is the people, but it is not wrong, anyway, what Zongxin said is still very reasonable, whether he understands it now or not, he will write it down first.

The army camp of 5,000 men was set up and immediately marched into the desert. Never before had such a vast team rushed directly into this Death Desert, even Feng Hui watched carefully from the city wall, wondering if the five thousand people would get lost after entering the desert.

It is not uncommon to see people lost in the desert, but the number of these lost people is very small, so there is no way to disorient and it is impossible to look after each other. An army of five thousand men should be fine...... But it is also difficult to say that the number of people who have been swallowed by this desert so far is by no means less than 5,000.

At this time, Feng Hui showed a very strange smile.

"I'm afraid that the Khitan army is more than auspicious this time, they are too confident in themselves, and they actually walked directly into the desert, thinking that when Yeluzhen led the army into the desert, they didn't get lost, and finally entered the Fire God Temple to save their lives. Father-in-law, didn't you tell them that there are often strong winds and sands in the desert this season? As long as the wind and sand are together, let alone a force of 5,000 people, even 50,000 people will be choked to death, or they will be buried alive by the wild sand. "The person who spoke was Yang Chonggui, Feng Hui's righteous son. He is more loyal and has a strong sense of justice, and he feels that these 5,000 people will die in the desert.

"Brother Yi, if all the important people of the Khitan die in this desert, we can take advantage of the situation and seize the Khitan Jiangshan Sheji. Yang Jiye said excitedly: "When the time comes, my father will face the south and worship the north and sit on the throne, I will be the prince, and you will not say that you are also a prince, is there anything wrong with this?"

"Second brother, don't have this kind of spring and autumn dream again, as the saying goes, people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, in terms of Khitan strength, Fengzhou City may not have a chance to fight with the Khitan if it expands tenfold, don't provoke the Khitan, now Fengzhou City can survive, and you have to rely on the Khitan to raise your noble hand. ”

"I don't have big ambitions. Feng Jiye said: "It's no wonder, for you, even if my father becomes the emperor, you don't have any benefit, of course you want to enjoy the glory and wealth here in peace." I'm different, I'm ambitious, and one day I'll go east to attack the Khitan and expand my territory. ”

Feng Hui said: "Jiye, what your righteous brother said is right, with the strength of our Fengzhou City, we will never be able to compete with the Khitan. Even if you lead troops to fight, you should first attack the Northern Han Dynasty to lay the foundation, and then find a way to compete with all forces, don't think about becoming a big fat man in one bite, there is no such good thing in the world. ”

The mentality of the three people is completely different, Yang Chonggui is the type who tends to be peaceful and develops with peace of mind. Feng Hui was moderate, on the one hand, he developed the economy well, and on the other hand, he developed the military, wanting to seize the nearby small city as a foundation, step by step, and finally ascended the throne as emperor. Feng Jiye is a radical, and he directly attacked the Khitan Shangjing, as long as he captures Shangjing, he will be the emperor.

In Feng Hui's opinion, the idea of his own son Feng Jiye was too excited and couldn't work at all, so he didn't think about it at all. Even if he captures Shangjing, he is not the emperor, not to mention that with the 20,000 troops at the bottom of the box in Fengzhou City, if he does not go to Shangjing at all, he will be robbed and killed on the way, and there will be no one left.

As for the idea of the adopted son Yang Chonggui, it is too stable, people always have to have some pursuits, although it is good to keep a family business like him, but Fengzhou is not a long-term solution, and it must be expanded.

"These are the last words, and now you are at my command. Feng Hui said: "Don't light the beacon fire in Fengzhou City for the time being, let the Khitan dog die in the desert." But if we can come out alive and do our best to treat us, it will be good for us to pass on our reputation. If you can save some important people, it is better, and the favor will be rewarded, the best thing is to let the Khitan not attack Fengzhou, save their lives first and then try to develop, this is the right way. ”

"Yes. ”

Looking at the Khitan army slowly entering the desert, Feng Hui was very happy in his heart. I can't imagine that this group of desperate guys really want to enter this Death Desert to find some Fire God Temple, if Master Zongxin is really towards Guo Wei's side, then this plan is too good.

Zong Xin deliberately poisoned Shouwang Yelujing, and Yeluzhen would naturally do his best to save him. No one would have thought that Zongxin would have such a strange poison, and it would logically be linked to the Fire God Temple, although there are still many things that are not clear, but there must be a way to cure Yelu Jing in the Fire God Temple.

In Yeluzhen's opinion, the one who will poison King Shou is, of course, Yelu Anduan or Yeluruan, and this force will entangle each other and will never let anyone go easily, so that all the important people in the Khitan followed Yeluzhen into this desert of death. And if these people all die in the desert, the Liao State will completely collapse, and at that time, there will be no need for Guo Wei to attack, and the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun will directly return to Guo Wei's jurisdiction, which is simply a tiger with wings for Guo Wei.
