Start from the thief

Last year in Chang'an, he and the wolf girl broke into the palace to steal treasures to scare Li Huan. The wolf girl acted very familiar with the Taiji Palace.

Although she didn't say the reason, it at least showed that she had been there, and more than once.

The wolf girl doesn’t look very old, about the same age as me. So, who took her there when she was still young?

Currently, the only one he knew who was related to the palace was his Second Senior Sister Li Li. However, Li Li left the palace at a very young age. Whether he could remember her or not is not a matter of fact. Even if she went there, most likely she went there for revenge. There was no reason for her to bring a little girl around for sightseeing.

So who took her there?

This past event, which had been buried for who knows how long, seemed to have nothing to do with what happened today, but Zhao Yushu couldn't get rid of this thought in his mind.

If he wanted to leave now, the wolf girl probably wouldn't be able to find him, but Zhao Yushu suddenly didn't want to leave anymore.

The wolf girl is his senior sister and one of the few relatives he has in this world. The disciples of the academy help each other. The wolf girl is obviously being ambushed now. As her junior brother, it is his duty to save her.

Otherwise, there will always be an absurdly powerful tail behind you, making it difficult for you to cause any trouble.

And one of the main tasks when coming to Liao Kingdom is to find the wolf girl.

Kill two birds with one stone, a promise is a deal.

Zhao Yushu slipped out of his hiding place but did not leave immediately.

His body was now covered in Xiao Peipei's blood. If he left the government office too far, he would be immediately noticed by the wolf girl. So he flashed a few times and went straight into the government office.

It has to be said that Xiao Peipei knew how to enjoy life. Even though she couldn't live in the palace, she still managed to transform the government office into a comfortable residential area, which included a bathhouse that occupied the area of ​​a larger room.

Of course, now that everyone is dead, there is naturally no one to help her keep the water in the bathhouse at a constant temperature.

Cold water is also fine.

Zhao Yushu took off his blood-stained robe and soaked in the ice-cold pool.

The clean water would wash away the other smells on his body, and the moment he walked out of the pool again, the wolf girl would smell him again, and death would follow.

If you don't play well, this will be the last time you take a bath in your life.

Zhao Yushu yawned comfortably and closed his eyes, enjoying the hard-earned comfort.

With a splash of water, Zhao Yushu emerged from the water all wet. He had already put on his clothes in the water. The moment he jumped out of the water, he broke through the roof without hesitation and flew away. He needed to choose a suitable battlefield.

The wind was blowing very fast, and his scent was spreading very quickly. It wouldn't be long before he was bitten by the wolf girl, and the hunter and prey would start the chase game again.

Sorry, senior sister, I want to be a hunter this time.

The wind was not strong tonight, and the smell was unpleasant. The wolf girl's nose moved and her eyes narrowed into slits. The little thief appeared.

However, could the source of the smell be in the government office?

I've been fooled.

This kind of spooky feeling reminded me of someone for no reason.

Haha, the wolf girl sneered, stepped on the city wall, and jumped straight out of Liaoyang Prefecture. The warning array in the city exploded wildly, and in the night sky, the boss inside was chasing towards the north like a meteor.

Linhuang Prefecture became lively again after being quiet for half a year because the Emperor of Liao returned.

But although it was lively, people were not very happy because the Liao emperor lost the battle.

The war to attack Tang had been brewing for who knows how long, and with the advantage of time, place and people, it was still overturned. Not only did the army suffer heavy losses, but the army also lost countless food and fodder as soon as it moved. It would take at least five or six years to recover from this blow. If Tang had not had to stabilize its internal affairs first, the Liao emperor could have considered fleeing to the west.

But it's not all bad news. At least the King of Nanyuan, who had always had ulterior motives, is gone, and unfortunately his fourth son was also captured.

"Does that woman Li Tong have anything to say?"

The Emperor of Liao lay powerlessly on his tiger-skin couch and sent out envoys to exchange for his son and, hypocritically, the King of Nanyuan. Li Tong did not meet the envoys at all and Prime Minister Di was in charge of the whole process. The old fox euphemistically expressed that the bargaining chips were not enough, but he never mentioned what he wanted, forcing the Liao Kingdom to increase the stakes.

"Your Majesty, the latest news is that Tang State Prime Minister Di said that the Fourth Prince once molested the Tang Emperor. This is a great shame and humiliation. If we are not sincere, he doesn't mind letting the Fourth Prince become an actor in the future to entertain the Tang Emperor and forgive his sins."

A minister tremblingly reported the news brought back by the envoy, then lowered his head and began to take the curses from the Liao emperor.

After cursing for a whole incense stick of time, the Liao Emperor finally felt a little dry in the mouth. He sat back on the couch and took a few deep breaths: "Can he tell me what he wants this time?"

"He, he, didn't say anything, just said..."

"Did you say it or not?"

The Liao Emperor felt that his failure this time was not unfair, because of what kind of people were under his command.

"He said he was very busy and if we couldn't come up with a satisfactory solution next time, we shouldn't talk about it anymore."

The Liao Emperor widened his eyes and pointed his finger at the minister in charge of diplomacy, as if he wanted to accuse him of some crime.

"His Majesty."

The Liao Dynasty was similar to the Tang Dynasty. During court meetings, except for the emperor, even the prince was not allowed to sit, but there was one person who could.

The Imperial Master stood up from the chair one level below the Liao Emperor: "I know what he wants."

"Master, please take a seat. No need to be polite."

The Imperial Master nodded and sat down. This time all the plans for attacking Tang were planned by him. If he had not expected Li Tong to rise to the throne, the two capitals of the East and the West would have been Liao territory by now.

"He wants to go to Laizhou, Jinzhou, Kaizhou and Chenzhou."

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place burst into noise.

These prefectures are the line connecting to the Andong Protectorate outside Youzhou. If the four prefectures are ceded, the Tang Dynasty will be able to connect with the Andong Protectorate on land. Not only can supplies and personnel communicate faster, but troops can also be sent directly to force Tokyo Liaoyang Prefecture, Hezhongjing Dading Prefecture, and push the front line hundreds of miles northward, which is equivalent to putting a knife directly on the neck of Linhuang Prefecture.

"dream!"

Of course, the Liao ruler would not agree to such conditions.

"It's just a son. They can kill him if they want. They can castrate him if they want. I have plenty of sons. Tell Li Tong that I think she is not young enough to get married, so I gave those two men to her to play with!"

Of course, this sentence couldn't really be passed on, otherwise the Tang Kingdom would have attacked even at the cost of destroying their country. For the people in the Central Plains, face is much more important than life.

"I have a plan, Your Majesty, please take a look at it."

In the end, it was the imperial master who came out to maintain order.

"Master, please speak."

"I happened to have invited a distinguished guest a few days ago. She is of an extremely noble status. If she comes forward, the Fourth Prince and the King of the Southern Court will naturally be able to return."

The Liao Emperor frowned and said, "Oh, I wonder who this distinguished guest the Imperial Master mentioned is and how could he have such power?"

"Haha, I will ask her to come and see Your Majesty, and then you will know."
