Sikong Jin paused slightly, then shrugged and found a seat by the window.

"Judging from your accent and what you just said, young man, you seem to be from Tiansheng?"

Just as she sat down, a deep, cold voice suddenly reached her ears. Lady Sikong, who was about to pour tea, abruptly stopped, feeling a chill wash over her. The handsome man from before had already sat down opposite her, his sharp, razor-sharp eyes fixed on her.

It wasn't a friendly look!

This person is absolutely skilled!

Sikong Jin was taken aback, his eyes darting around quickly. A look of surprise crossed his face as he turned to look at the woman being carried out of the street outside the window. Then, somewhat embarrassed, he smiled and said, "Oh dear, I'm so sorry. I misunderstood you, brother. I was just saying, how could someone as handsome and dashing as you, with your naturally commanding presence, possibly be worthy of that kind of woman? Brother, come, have a cup of tea..."

As he spoke, he poured tea for Xifenglie.

Xi Fenglie's cold expression remained unchanged as he glanced at her coldly again. "You certainly know how to talk. What are you doing here all the way from Tian Sheng?"

Upon hearing this, Lord Sikong sighed, "Alas, it's a long story! I did indeed come from Tiansheng, intending to do some small business here. Who knew that I'd only found out after entering the city that some damned commander of Dayong, what was his name again? That bastard Sikong set fire to the city! Bah! He caused me heavy losses... I've always hated people who recklessly provoke wars. Those kinds of people should be impotent, to suffer the greatest misfortune of being a man..."

Lord Sikong launched into a tirade against Sikong Jin, beating her mercilessly as if she were the very culprit who had murdered her entire family!

Xi Fenglie watched with a cold face as Lord Sikong cursed with righteous indignation. The dark light in his eyes suddenly turned sharp and piercing. He looked Sikong Jin up and down several times, but after looking for a long time, he could only see Sikong Jin's impulsive and rude outburst, cursing herself until her spittle flew everywhere.

Just now he seemed like a polite and refined young nobleman, but now he looks no different from those country bumpkins who suddenly become rich overnight.

Xi Fenglie's face immediately darkened. Sikong Jin had been speaking for a long time, then paused, took a sip of tea (his mouth was dry), and continued, "This Sikong Jin is simply inhuman. I heard he's plundered several cities near Tata City, burning, killing, and looting everywhere. Oh, and I also heard that most of the looted gold and silver went into his pocket. And those women that were stolen—that bastard actually ordered his soldiers to send the most beautiful women to his tent, and every time those beautiful women went in upright and came out horizontally..."

The more Sikong Jin spoke, the uglier Xi Fenglie's expression became. However, this was only the beginning. What followed made Xi Fenglie even more eager to strangle her on the spot—

"Huh? Why aren't you saying anything, brother? Do you think it's particularly cruel? Do you think that Sikong Jin is not human, but a beast in human skin?" Sikong Jin stroked his chin, glanced at Xifeng Lie strangely out of the corner of his eye, suddenly touched his nose, and sighed, "Actually, I've always found it strange. The Great Liao has always governed with benevolence, yet Sikong Jin has made such a fuss, targeting the government of the Great Liao, openly provoking them, and the Great Liao has actually remained so calm. It's truly astonishing!"

"Sigh, if this happened in our Tiansheng, our emperor would have already sent a large army to deal with him. He wouldn't be hiding like a coward. By the way, I also heard that your Liao emperor recently sent a large army over. That Prince Xifeng led 400,000 Eagle Warriors all the way to Tata City, but he didn't even see a single trace of Sikong Jin. It's really laughable. He even sent people everywhere to search for his whereabouts. Haha, do they all think he's an idiot? You can look for him, but can't he hide? However, if it were me, I would use the most direct method to force him to come out on his own..."

Lord Sikong spoke eloquently to Xifeng Lie with a mysterious air, as if he were an invincible general on the battlefield, giving his subordinates the most accurate analysis of the battle situation.

"any solution?"

Xi Fenglie clenched his fist tightly on his lap, fearing that he might lose control and rush forward to end the life of the person in front of him with a single sword strike.

The entire Great Liao Eagle Army knew that the name 'Sikong Jin' was the Achilles' heel of their Crown Prince. This person had dared to reopen Xifeng Lie's wounds, which was simply reckless. If it weren't for Xifeng Lie's strong self-control, the person on the other side would probably have been crushed to pieces!

Gore, who had just arrived at the side, thought to himself, but he remained calm and listened. He had originally intended to go over and report to His Highness on the military arrangements in the city, but he hadn't expected to see the young man talking incessantly to His Highness, cursing Sikong Jin to no end.

"Simple, just send troops to attack the northwestern border of Dayong. Anyway, this area has just experienced a famine, the people are exhausted, and the defenses are weak. This is a golden opportunity, isn't it? Oh, the food and wine are here. Come, brother, let's eat and chat. I feel like we've known each other for a long time. May I ask how I should address you, brother?"

Upon hearing Sikong Jin's words, a cold glint flashed across Xifeng Lie's eyes. Noticing the gaze directed at him by Gore, he turned his head slightly, glanced at Gore, and saw a glint of light also in Gore's eyes. Gore gave Xifeng Lie a cold smile, then quietly beckoned a finger to a black-clad soldier behind him. The black-clad soldier immediately nodded in understanding and quickly stepped forward, passing by Lord Sikong.

'Bah! '

Just as Sikong Jin was about to pour wine for Xifeng Lie, someone suddenly walked up from behind and bumped into her hard, causing her to tumble over. The stool she was sitting on tilted, and she fell to the ground, her clothes spilling out of her sleeves.

"Oh, brother, I'm so sorry, I left in such a hurry. Are you alright?"

The soldier in black hurriedly made an apologetic gesture to help Sikong Jin up, but Lord Sikong quickly gathered his scattered belongings into his sleeves with astonishing speed, all the while cursing, "Damn it, how do you walk? Can't you see where you're going?!"
