Li Fengyun laughed and said: "In this case, it is better for the Liao State to return to the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, and the two families will stop their troops from now on, okay?"

Xiao Qirui shook his head and replied: "Without the greasy land of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, although Da Liao is big, how many people can it support? Moreover, there are many disasters on the grassland, even if I Da Liao withdraws from the customs, I can't say which day I will enter the customs and rob it." Moreover, if the Central Plains prosper, what can the grasslands use to resist the threat from the Central Plains? War is always inevitable, and since this is the case, it is better to take advantage of it now. ”

Li Fengyun let out a long sigh and said, "If the Central Plains and the grassland were integrated, there would not be so many endless wars. ”

Xiao Qirui said coldly: "If there really is a day, we Liao people, I am afraid that you will not be able to eat even the bones, and there will be no Khitan people in the world!"

The two were silent for a while, and Xiao Qirui said: "At least, if Da Liao is dominated by the Empress Dowager, your Central Plains will still be safe." The Empress Dowager did not have much interest in the Central Plains. ”

"I hope so!" Li Fengyun replied, but he was no longer interested in discussing the Central Plains and the grasslands with Xiao Qirui, because they were born enemies, and this seemed to be a difficult problem to solve.

Li Fengyun didn't speak, but Xiao Qirui talked to him: "Li Fengyun, this seat is still worried about the safety of the Empress Dowager." We have an idea that we need you to help us. ”

Li Fengyun raised his head and asked, "What idea?"

Xiao Qirui lowered his voice and said, "It's better for you to sneak into the palace and protect the Empress Dowager closely." If there is any accident, you will keep the Empress Dowager out of the palace, as long as Yeluming doesn't make a move, who can stop you?"

Li Fengyun's face was full of surprise, and he asked, "Xiao Guoshi, is this the idea you came up with? Do you think a big living person like me can be hidden in the palace?"

Xiao Qirui waved his hand and explained: "The palace of Daliao is not as heavily guarded as the palace of the Central Plains. There is someone in the palace to answer, and it is not difficult for you to pretend to be a guard and hide in the palace. ”

Li Fengyunqi said: "Are there more than 30 first-class masters and more than 200 second-rate masters in the palace?"

Xiao Qirui said with a smile: "Although there are many masters in the palace, they are all stationed on the periphery of the palace, and there is only one first-class master guarding the empress dowager, whose name is Tuoba Lu, who is the elder of Chilian Cliff, and there are seven second-rate masters. As long as you restrain your breath and pretend to be an ordinary guard, it shouldn't be a problem to hide from them. ”

"Tuoba Rule?" Li Fengyun opened his mouth wide, a little dumbfounded, could it be that he really had a fate with Tuoba Rule, when he rescued Yelu Honggu in Chilian Cliff, it was he who used a fake poison to coerce Tuoba Law to take him to the top of Chilian Cliff, and now he wants to save Shu Luping, and he actually met him again. I don't know how I got out of the Jelu Honggu incident in the first place.

"What, do you know him?" Xiao Qirui was a little strange.

"I've met a few times!" Li Fengyun replied, "If it's really this person who is in charge of guarding the Empress Dowager Shulu, it's not that there is no chance to rescue the Empress Dowager Shulu." In this way, I really want to go to the palace. ”

The scale of the Great Liao Imperial Palace is not as large as that of the Central Plains Imperial Palace, and the security is not very strict, but the city walls are tall and thick, and if there is no one to help, it is not easy to sneak into the palace without being noticed. Even with Li Fengyun's ability, this is the case. However, Xiao Qirui had already made arrangements, and with the help of Xiao Qirui's arrangement, Li Fengyun blended into the palace openly and smoothly.

Shu Luping, the empress dowager of the Liao State, was placed under house arrest in Jingyuan Palace, and there were more than 100 guards guarding Jingyuan Palace, led by a Liao general named Yelutuo, who had good martial arts and was second-rate in the middle of the period. In addition, it is a team of martial arts masters led by Tuoba Lu, there are seven people in total, except for Tuoba Lu, the other six are second-rate masters. In fact, this team of masters from the Red Lian Cliff is the real caretaker.

After entering the palace, Li Fengyun lurked in the pre-arranged place until after dark, according to the topographical map of the palace obtained in advance, Li Fengyun went straight to Jingyuan Palace.

With Li Fengyun's current martial arts, the Liao State guards patrolling the palace, of course, it was difficult to find his whereabouts, and after avoiding the guards outside Jingyuan Palace, Li Fengyun quietly jumped into a courtyard. According to the information given by Ju Xiao Qirui in advance, Tuoba Lu should live in this courtyard. There were six second-rate masters living with him, and Tuoba Lu lived in the middle room.

At this time, it was pitch black in the small courtyard, and Li Fengyun swept to Xiao Qirui's door and listened carefully for a moment. There was no sound in the house, and it was obvious that Xiao Qirui was not in the house.

Li Fengyun quietly pushed open the door and squeezed into the house sideways. The house was pitch black, but Li Fengyun could still see the general situation inside the house.

The room is divided into two rooms, the outer room is used for reception, only a table, a few chairs and some daily furnishings. About two feet, it can accommodate more than a dozen people. The inner room is just over a zhang, with only a bed, a cabinet, a round table, a few round stools and a screen.

Li Fengyun sat down under the round stool, closed his eyes and recuperated, just waiting for Tuoba Lu to come back.

About half an hour passed, and the courtyard door outside the house was pushed open with a "creak", and a chaotic footstep reached Li Fengyun's ears. Li Fengyun came to his senses and paid attention to the situation outside the house. Four people came in from outside the courtyard, and the first one said, "Let's all go and rest! I have to go on duty tomorrow, don't be careless!" Listening to the voice, it was the old acquaintance Tuoba Law.

"With Elder Tuoba here, what are you worried about, which one dares to provoke?" said one flatteringly.

Tuoba Law was very useful, and said with a smile: "It's better to pay attention, after all, the one who lives in the palace has a lot of people who beat his idea." In the past few days, some rumors have come out, and no one may have taken risks. ”

Another person said, "Elder Tuoba, did Your Majesty really have murderous thoughts against that person?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Tuoba Lu shouted in a low voice, "That's a royal matter, what should we think about?" Everyone just need to remember that they are loyal to Your Majesty and the Yelu Sect Master, and don't be too troublesome!

Also, Little Liuzi, I can warn you, don't go eye-to-eye with those palace maids, you don't have to be outside the palace here, if you really want to make something, the sect leader will be held accountable, and I can't protect you. ”

"What could it be?" the man who had just spoken laughed dryly, "I'm just looking, how dare I really move that mind?"

After a little talking, they dispersed, and went back to their own rooms.

After a while, Tuoba Lu pushed open the door of the house, stepped into the house, shook the fire, lit the candle, and was about to turn around and enter the inner room, when he suddenly heard someone whisper: "Elder Tuoba has been separated from the Chilian Cliff for several months, can you be okay?"
