In front of a cup of tea.

Chen Lang told Wang Junyuan that Zhizunbao used the Moonlight Box to travel back five hundred years, and Wang Yunzhang returned to the teahouse.

"What a coincidence! I was just about to send someone to look for you." Wang Yunzhang said with a smile, "Now it's easier. Come with me."

Wang Junyuan was anxious: "Stop, the story isn't over yet."

"Is the Zixia that Zhizunbao saw the Bai Jingjing from five hundred years ago?"

Wang Yunzhang was stunned: "What Supreme Treasure Bai Jingjing? What story are you telling him?"

Chen Lang laughed and said, "It was just a joke... Lord Wang, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Wang Yunzhang said, "Good news! Someone from the Liao Kingdom is here and wants to buy your beer."

Chen Lang asked, "Brother Yelu Xiong?"

"Not only Yelu Xiongge, but also the commander-in-chief of the Southern Court Military Command of the Liao Kingdom." Wang Yunzhang said.

Chen Lang was very surprised. "The Commander-in-Chief of the Southern Court? The highest military commander of the Liao Kingdom's Southern Court has come to our Great Yan territory. If this gets out... I'm afraid it will be bad."

Wang Yunzhang said, "So his visit this time is very private."

Chen Lang was still a little confused: "Just because of a beer, the highest military commander entered Dayan. How hasty is that?"

Wang Yunzhang said unhappily, "Why do you have so many questions?"

"Come with me, and we'll talk as we go."

Chen Lang asked Xiao Qi to stay in the teahouse with Wang Junyuan, and he followed Wang Yunzhang.

After getting on the carriage, Wang Yunzhang explained, "This commander-in-chief is the grandson of Empress Dowager Xiao, named Yelu Yuan, and he is about the same age as you."

"Empress Dowager Xiao loves this grandson the most, but Yelu Yuan's bloodline is impure, so he has no chance of inheriting the throne."

"And because of Empress Dowager Xiao's fondness, Yelu Yuan has been in dire straits in the Liao royal court. The princes and grandchildren who are vying for the throne all want him dead."

"In order to protect Yelu Yuan, Empress Dowager Xiao arranged for him to be assigned to the Southern Courtyard and also gave him control of the military."

"However, Yelu Yuan himself is very interested in our Han culture. He even wrote a set of imperial examination papers last year. I heard that his policy essay was better than that of last year's runner-up."

"At the same time, Yelu Yuan also maintained the Liao people's habit of liking wine. Most of the Hongyanzui that the Liao people bought from Guhonglou were presented to him."

"I heard from Brother Yelu Xiong that after drinking some beer, Yelu Yuan immediately decided to make a large purchase. Coincidentally, we're holding an Oiran Contest, so he disguised himself and came over to join in the fun, and to meet you."

Chen Lang asked cautiously, "Sir, isn't this commander afraid of being killed by our people?"

Wang Yunzhang said, "If he dies, war will inevitably break out between the two countries. Who dares to take responsibility for this?"

"Besides, why would you kill him for no reason?"

Chen Lang said, "Aren't we Great Yan and Liao Kingdom enemies for generations? Killing him will boost the morale of the people."

Wang Yunzhang squinted at Chen Lang and said, "I didn't realize you were so concerned about your country and its people."

Chen Lang said, "Don't misunderstand me, sir. I don't have such thoughts. Yelu Yuan is my important client. If he dies, who will I earn money from?"

"The students are worried that if news of Yelu Yuan's arrival reaches the ears of those radicals, they might try to assassinate him and provoke a conflict between the two countries."

Wang Yunzhang said, "You can rest assured about this. The news of Yelu Yuan coming to Dayan is top secret. In addition to the yamen runners, Lord Chang also borrowed a small team from the Dingbian Army to protect Yelu Yuan."

When Chen Lang heard the words "Dingbian Army", he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

After a moment, Chen Lang asked, "Sir, I remember you said last time that there were spies from the Red Lotus Cult within the Dingbian Army..."

Wang Yunzhang's expression froze for a moment.

Then there was a loud shout from outside: "The fire is coming!"

Wang Yunzhang lifted the curtain of the carriage and saw a raging fire in front of him.

It happens to be the area where Yelu Yuan is!

"Grass!"

Wang Yunzhang, who has always been elegant, couldn't help but swear when he saw this situation.

"I'm going to arrange for the fire, so please do as you please."

Chen Lang jumped off the carriage immediately.

Shortly after Wang Yunzhang's carriage left, Chen Lang saw the familiar figure again.

She was moving quickly through the crowd, running towards the center of the fire.

Chen Lang was sure that he would not admit his mistake, so he rushed to the fire scene without hesitation.

……

In the center of the fire, Yelu Xiongge and several guards were protecting Yelu Yuan as they ran towards the river.

However, when they were almost at the river, ripples suddenly appeared on the surface of the river, and then two dark shadows emerged from the water.

Yelu Xiongge roared, "Protect the commander-in-chief!"

Two guards stepped forward and fought with the black shadow.

The other guards protected Yelu Yuan and Yelu Xiongge and fled to the other side.

But before they had run for long, a few more people rushed out from the side.

Yelu Xiongge was furious and roared, "Who are you?"

The man didn't answer, so he picked up the knife and started to chop.

The remaining guards fought with these people.

Yelu Xiongge took Yelu Yuan and changed direction and continued running.

After running a few steps, he was stopped again.

This time, no guards could rush forward to stop them.

"Yelü Yuan, the second son of the King of Chu of Liao, and the favorite grandson of Empress Dowager Xiao."

"I originally just wanted to kill a few Liao people this time, but I didn't expect that I would catch a fat fish after one cast of the net."

Yelu Xiongge drew out a short knife, stood in front of Yelu Yuan, and asked, "Who are you?"

The other party said calmly: "After you die, I will tell you."

"Now that the commander-in-chief is dead, the Queen Mother will never let it go and will definitely send troops south!" Yelu Xiongge threatened.

The other party laughed: "I killed you just to make her send troops south."

"I was extremely disappointed when you withdrew your troops last time."

"This time, my favorite grandson died in the territory of Great Yan. Empress Dowager Xiao will not pretend again."

As soon as he finished speaking, three flaming arrows suddenly appeared in the distant sky.

This is a signal from my companion.

The killer drew his broadsword, raised one arm, and said, "Don't worry, I will send your bodies back to the Liao Kingdom so that your souls can return to their homeland."

"Just wait for death in peace."

The killer took a quick step forward, the blade heading straight for Yelu Xiongge's throat.

Yelu Xiongge subconsciously raised his hand to block, and there was a clang, and the dagger in his hand flew out.

"Your Highness, run!" Yelu Xiongge knew that he was no match for his opponent, so he simply used his body as a shield, hugged the killer, and shouted loudly, asking Yelu Yuan to run away.

However, Yelu Yuan was so frightened that he stood there unable to move an inch.

Seeing this, Yelu Xiongge sighed helplessly: "It's over!"

Just as Yelu Xiongge closed his eyes and waited for death, he suddenly felt someone grabbing his collar from behind, and then he staggered back seven or eight steps.

When I opened my eyes, I saw a man in night clothes in front of me.

Judging from her figure, she is a woman.

When the killer saw this woman, he roared in anger: "Li! Qing!"

"How dare you stop me!"
