Reborn to marry the treacherous prince, cultivate immortality and slay gods

"Something's wrong."

Li Heyan and Yelu Dejin looked at each other, Yelu Dejin immediately understood, put his thumb and index finger on the corner of his lips, and blew a short whistle.

Not far away, another black hawk that had been guiding them flew down from the air and landed obediently on his broad shoulders.

Yelude tied a very thin red rope to the black eagle's leg, and then raised his arm, the black eagle immediately understood and flew towards the east of Linhuang.

"There is movement in the city, everyone be careful."

This Khan of Liao Dan has the observation ability like an eagle. Although the distance is far away and the city is completely dark, he can still see the occasional silhouettes of people.

If you listen carefully, you can still hear faint cries for help and the sound of footsteps belonging to officers and soldiers.

"At this time in Linhuang, it's suspicious that everyone closes their doors and doesn't come out. What's more, even the city defense will not go to the streets to arrest people at this time."

Thinking that the sufferers were most likely innocent people, Yelude tightened his heart.

"Unless it's not Liaodan officers and soldiers."

On the top of the mountain, Li Qianyin turned her head and looked towards the south where Pingzhou and Yechao bordered. All she could see was the junction of heaven and earth, where black clouds were pressing down on the surroundings, and the sun could not be seen.

"Master Qi, how many troops did the Empress Dowager Shulu bring?"

"I didn't say the exact number, but I only know that the Empress Dowager Shulu is quite confident about this trip, and she is going to take Yingping Erzhou in one fell swoop, so she brought most of her soldiers and handed over the rest to a general surnamed Zhao in Linhuang City. "

Li Qianyin replied.

"Zhao Siwen? Sure enough."

Yeludejin looked at Li Heyan with some surprise, his expression was unclear.

"This General Zhao was favored by my father in the early years, and he was indeed a loyal minister. But after his father passed away, he was the number one in the court who opposed his mother."

"Oh? Then he doesn't belong to your school?"

Li Qianyin raised her eyebrows.

"No, to be precise, it's my father's faction, or brother Wang's."

Yelude would like to explain, "The prince who was appointed by my father when the king was in power was originally my brother, but my brother was soft-hearted and only knew how to write, so the queen mother directly forced him into a corner and fled to the Central Plains. She was originally I want to make my younger brother the new king, but because I can't convince everyone, I can only retreat and turn my second son, who is obedient to her and has made great achievements in battle, to be the king."

"My mother broke her own wrist and was buried for her father. After this incident, the old ministers in the court who led the opposition, led by General Zhao, gradually stopped talking about it."

"It's just that although the queen mother is ruthless and decisive, she is only killing and decisive, not a person who studies the affairs of the government. Could it be that she really thinks that General Zhao is willing to stand by her wholeheartedly?"

Today's situation is chaotic and complicated, and everyone has their own ghosts.

When this King Yi made a bet with him in private, Zeng Chengcheng assured him that if the Empress Dowager Shulu led an army to crusade, it would be Zhao Siwen who stayed in Linhuang to guard the city.

Ask him where he guessed, but he keeps silent.

Even the two Central Plains people who are standing beside him now seem to be allies, but they are actually very cunning, and they cannot be trusted completely.

Thinking of this, Yelude's doubts deepened.

"I think, maybe Khan is worrying too much."

Li Heyan made a sound, interrupting his thinking.

"If this General Zhao who guards the city is really Zhao Siwen, as far as I know, he was also from the Central Plains before?"

"Yes, His Royal Highness Yi Wang knows?"

"I have heard that this person is the former governor of Pingzhou. Later, he was rescued by your father, and he took the entire Pingzhou to surrender to Liaodan. , How likely is he to defect?"

Yelude was taken aback for a moment, but even so.
"Since King Liao Dan is kind to him, if he goes to the capital and is attacked, he will definitely resist with all his strength, so it is better to keep him in Linhuang—the reason why I assured you that day is also to guess expediency. It's the safest."

"But how did you know that Zhao Siwen would convince me with just one letter?"

"Khan is really pure-hearted, no wonder such a big man still can't beat your mother."

Li Qianyin curled her lips, rolled a few strands of hair around her ears, and said "tsk" twice.

"Don't Khan know? Five dynasties and ten states, vassals and towns were separated, and princes rose everywhere. In addition to those who wanted to rule the roost in troubled times, there were also those who cared about the people. The Empress Dowager Shulu has been unwilling to delegate power, ignoring the life and death of the people, conscription and tax payment— — General Zhao is not submitting to you, he is willing to submit to the people.”

The young Liao Dan Khan lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "His Royal Highness Yi Wang has a clever plan. If His Highness really wins this bet, then I, Liao Dan, will definitely give it with both hands as promised."

"It's just that, with this half-opened city gate, I don't know whether to invite you into the urn, or to sing an empty city plan?"

In the middle of the night, the slight cries for help in the city before were heard closer but disappeared at all.

"Do you have any dog ​​holes in your walls?"

"How do I know, I am a dignified Khan, how can I have any reason to drill into a dog's hole?"

Outside the city, Yelu Dejin stood up straight and raised his voice.

"I'm still the first prince of the Ye Dynasty." Li Heyan covered his mouth all of a sudden, "Can you keep your voice down!"

"To shut up."

Li Qianyin gave the two men behind her a sharp look, "If you can't sneak in, then go through the main entrance."

"Anyway, we've been discovered."

The three of them suddenly looked up, and saw countless soldiers standing beside the city wall, all pointing at them with their bows and arrows raised.

"Han people?"

Yelude looked at the middle-aged general who appeared on the city wall with a vigilant expression.

"Master Khan——Master Khan returns to his home, why is he still hesitant to sneak in."

The man laughed loudly, "This general is guarding the city for the Khan. If the Khan wants to enter the city, just tell them to do so."

Before they could answer, the man on the city wall waved his hand, turned around and ordered without looking back:

"Open the city gate and welcome the Khan into the city."

The half-covered city gate opened wide at the sound, facing the moonlight, looking through the two people guarding her, Li Qianyin finally saw the face of the middle-aged general standing in the middle of the city gate.

he is
As her heart sank suddenly, she felt a burst of anger rushing straight to Baihui, as if thousands of knives were being twisted in her internal organs, and her heart was broken for a while.

She clenched her fists tightly, her body trembled violently, her eyes were spinning with rage, and she turned black.

At this moment, as if realizing that she was wrong, Li Heyan stretched out his right hand backwards and held her clenched fist in his palm.

Feeling the coolness from her fingertips, Li Qianyin steadied her body, but the sword on the hilt was already showing a cold light.

"Hey, this is our Highness King Yi. When the first emperor passed away, His Highness was not around to serve him. So it turned out that he had gone out to collude with foreign enemies."

The man tilted his head and turned his gaze to the girl behind the two young men.

"This girl looks familiar, you are—"

He frowned in thought, and his triangular eyes drooped slightly revealing treachery and success.

Caught off guard, a ray of purple light rushed over.

Li Qianyin held the sword behind her back and placed it horizontally in front of her body. She dodged extremely quickly and pressed the sharp blade against his throat.

"clang--"
