In the blink of an eye, three months have passed, Xiao Qirui has not broken his promise, and he really transported a large amount of silver taels, grain and grass, cattle and sheep and other things through various channels, and collected six million taels.

In the past three months, various news shows that Xiao Qirui did not deceive Li Fengyun, Liu Chong did secretly ally with Yelu Ruan and took refuge in the Liao State, and the Liao State was indeed gathering troops and horses on a large scale to prepare for another southern expedition.

Taking advantage of these three months, Li Fengyun also arranged the affairs of Dingzhou properly, and secretly informed Guo Wei of the news.

Guo Wei was obviously very shocked, and specially sent Guo Rong to Dingzhou to pass the decree, canonizing Li Fengyun as the king of Qi, worshiping as the Taibao, the general of the Shangzhu Kingdom, and a bounty of ten thousand gold, plus nine tins, fake axes, and white knotweed, can open the government and build a mansion, and the glory can be said to be the ultimate of the people.

Of course, all this is just Guo Wei's entrapment of Li Fengyun, if the Liao State really goes down to the Central Plains from the southeast of the river, it will be a battle of life and death, and Guo Wei wants to exchange these for Li Fengyun's support for him. Even if Li Fengyun wouldn't send troops to help him, he couldn't stab him in the back.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Guo Rong and Li Fengyun had a secret discussion for a night, and Li Fengyun told Guo Rong that he was going to assassinate Yelu Ruan to solve the crisis in the Central Plains. And made an oath with Guo Rong that the two would not invade each other, and Guo Wei would support Li Fengyun's armor and grain worth one million taels of silver. Guo Wei had just ascended to the throne, and the Central Plains had been repeatedly war-torn and the treasury was empty, and rats were running around, and there was really no extra silver taels. got a million taels of armor and grass, for Li Fengyun, it's better than nothing!

made another profit, Li Fengyun was happy in his heart and sent Guo Rong away.

For Guo Rong, if Li Fengyun can successfully assassinate Yelu Ruan, then this crisis will be dissolved, and Liu Chong's strength alone will not be able to help his Guo family. As for one million taels of grain and grass, it is simply insignificant compared to a major war that shakes the country's foundation.

After receiving the silver materials from Qi Xiao Qirui, Li Fengyun did not break his promise, and immediately went north, passed through the mountains and mountains, and came to the north again, and came to Guihua Prefecture, where the place he agreed with Xiao Qirui was here. Of course, according to Xiao Qirui's request, he traveled in secret, so he didn't bring the Xiaolian Treasure Sword and the Phantom Treasure Knife, and claimed that it was a retreat to the outside world, so as not to attract Yelu Ruan's attention.

Naturalized Prefecture, formerly known as Wuzhou, is one of the sixteen Yanyun Prefectures, located in the north of Shanbei, the north of Xinzhou, and the west of Confucianism. At this time, the Naturalization City was heavily guarded, and the Han people were strictly interrogated, and if they answered a sentence incorrectly, they would be treated as a fine work, tied up by the soldiers who rushed up, and severely tortured.

It's no wonder that Yelu Ruan has gathered a heavy army in Xianggu Mountain Huoshendian outside the Naturalization City, and it is said that more than 100,000 soldiers and horses have been gathered, and a large amount of grain and grass has been gathered in the Naturalization City, and he may send troops to the south to conquer the Central Plains at any time, how can the Naturalization City not be nervous?

There is a stone fort thirty miles south of the naturalization city, called Guojiabao, there are about 300 families in the fort, most of them are surnamed Guo, the castle owner is a martial arts master, Xiao Qirui stayed in the castle owner's house with a master and waited for Li Fengyun's arrival.

"Li Fengyun, you really didn't break your promise!" Seeing Li Fengyun coming on time, Xiao Qirui nodded and led Li Fengyun to a secret room, and entered the secret room at the same time as Li Fengyun, as well as an old acquaintance of Li Fengyun, Li Tianyao.

Li Tianyao was dressed in a snow suit, and his hair was tied up with a finely carved Lantian jade, which looked particularly graceful, but his eyes showed an indescribable anger from time to time, which made people very uncomfortable.

From seeing Li Fengyun to walking into the secret room, Li Tianyao did not greet Li Fengyun, but just snorted coldly, kept his head high, and did not glance at Li Fengyun from the corner of his eye, obviously hiding a deep hostility.

is the so-called "hatred of killing his father, hatred of taking his wife, not sharing the sky", Li Shouzhen was defeated and died, naturally Li Fengyun is not to blame, but because of Du Ruyue, Li Tianyao feels uncomfortable no matter how he looks at Li Fengyun.

Although he didn't like Du Ruyue, and even despised Du Ruyue very much, thinking that that woman was not worthy of him Li Tianyao, but it was the same thing to not want it himself, that actually ran away from marriage repeatedly for a scoundrel from a pariah background, which made Li Tianyao feel that he was seriously insulted.

Du Ruyue was the only disciple of his aunt Yonggu Palace Master, and he couldn't settle accounts with that cheap maid because of his feelings, so this account was naturally recorded on Li Fengyun's body. Who is he, what kind of person is Li Fengyun? If he Li Tianyao is willing to say a few words to Li Fengyun, Li Fengyun should be happy and know how to be grateful. Even if he cut off the head of that pariah, Li Fengyun should feel honored.

However, that untouchable, that hateful pariah, not only did he honestly kneel down and beg for mercy, but he actually dared to threaten him, insult him, and slap his face, which Li Tianyao absolutely could not tolerate.

Such a shame can only be washed away with Li Fengyun's blood. Between him and Li Fengyun, there is no room for maneuver.

Li Tianyao ignored Li Fengyun, and of course Li Fengyun would not ignore Li Tianyao. In Li Fengyun's opinion, the story between him and Du Ruyue has passed, although he still thinks of her from time to time, but there is only a strong regret left. Therefore, he has long lost his previous hatred for Li Tianyao, and in his eyes, Li Tianyao is just a passerby with an evil heart and full of evil.

"Xiao Guoshi, it's time to tell Li about your plan!" Li Fengyun said, "It's not a simple matter to assassinate Yelu Ruan, you and I are suspicious of each other, it's not a good start." ”

Xiao Qirui nodded and said, "Li Fengyun, since this seat has invited you to come, I naturally trust you." Don't worry, this seat will tell you about the plan to assassinate Yelu Ruan. So that you and Tianyao know their respective responsibilities. ”

"Master, assassinating Yelu Ruan, it is enough for the master and the disciple grandson, why do you need this irrelevant person to get involved? Could it be that the master suspect that the apprentice grandson's ability is not as good as him?" Li Tian said suddenly.

"Tianyao, you don't have to think too much, the so-called one more person has more strength, Li Fengyun's martial arts are not under you, with his help, the probability of assassinating Yelu Ruan is much higher. You must know that there is only one chance to assassinate Yelu Ruan, if you miss, not only will it be difficult to find such an opportunity in the future, but even the shadow arranged by the Queen Mother at a great cost will probably be sacrificed, and the loss is unimaginable. Xiao Qirui persuaded, "Tianyao, I know that there are some personal grievances between you and Li Fengyun, but this is not the time to care about personal grievances, and I hope that you and Li Fengyun can cooperate sincerely." Li Fengyun, what do you think?"

Li Fengyun laughed and said, "I have no opinion, but your good apprentice seems to have a big opinion." If your good apprentice Sun thinks that he can assassinate Yelu Ruan alone, Xiao Guoshi temporarily decided to ask Li to quit, and Li will never object. ”

Xiao Qirui secretly scolded in his heart, he paid such a big price to find Li Fengyun, if Li Fengyun was allowed to withdraw under this pretext, wouldn't he lose his wife and lose his army?
