"My woman is in his hands?" Li Jing repeated, his eyes cold.

"Yes, Your Highness." The messenger's voice was hoarse and trembling with a hint of fear. On his worn-out black breastplate, there was a black crow motif beneath the dried blood stains.

Strictly speaking, it is not your woman, my daughter is officially married like this is your woman, the general Wang Pu thought to himself. He took a sip of wine and said nothing, thinking back to this woman named Murong Xue, who was a female assassin who had been ordered by Tian Lingzi to assassinate Shi Li Jing, but in the end, she became Li Jing's woman instead. However, the most dusty woman still left Li Jing's side. After so many years, I didn't expect her to appear again. Moreover, as soon as it appeared, it fell into the hands of Li Keyong.

Li Jing's current generals and staff members have quieted down, listening to Li Keyong's messenger tell what happened. Under the cool shade of the trees in the backyard of Ya in Chengzhong County, Xiaoxian County, Xuzhou, there is only the rustle of the leaves in the light wind.

After the Battle of Suzhou, Li Jing moved his troops north non-stop and surrounded the important city of Xuzhou. However, although Xuzhou has been encircled on all sides, it is not easy to fight. There is Huo Cun in Xuzhou City, as well as Zhang Guiba and Zhang Guimu, two brothers who fled into Xuzhou from Suzhou. The three grass thief generals led 30,000 Qi troops, and Liu Zhijun, one of the two generals under Shi Pu, who is now in command of 10,000 horses of all the probation troops attached to Xuzhou City.

Li Jing only had 30,000 horses in the besieged city, but there were 40,000 people in the city, and Li Jing did not have an advantage. However, Li Jing wanted a quick solution. Take Xuzhou as soon as possible. Then go north as soon as possible. Previously the military intelligence received the message. Hebei has undergone great changes recently.

According to the information obtained by the Military Intelligence Bureau, when the Qin army and the Huai army were fighting in Huainan before, Liu Yue, the commander of the Lu Long Army in Hebei, was suddenly assassinated in Youzhou City. Originally, when he first received this news, Qin Jun was still a little unconvinced. Liu Yue is the commander of the First Army, how could he be easily assassinated. Besides, I couldn't think of who would assassinate him. After all, the four towns of Hebei are joining forces with Li Keyong, Khitan and others. Except for Qin Jun, who will assassinate Liu Yue?

But soon the matter was confirmed, because of Liu Yue's incident, it quickly caused a chain reaction.

Liu Yue's assassination first caused a scramble for the position of commander within Lu Longjun. The strong contenders are mainly Liu Yue's brother Liu Yan and Liu Rengong, the commander of Dingba. Liu Yan struck first, won the support of most of the military leaders, and ascended to the position of Lu Long first. Then Liu Yan suddenly gave an order, claiming that Liu Yue had been killed by Liu Rengong's assassins, and ordered Liu Rengong to be arrested.

As a result, Liu Rengong was not restrained. He secretly reached a secret agreement with Wang Jingchong, the envoy of the Chengde Army, and successfully obtained Wang Jingchong's support. and borrowed 10,000 elite soldiers. Then Liu Rengong counterattacked, and bribed several officers in Youzhou City, and the inside and outside should cooperate, and captured Youzhou City in a battle, killed Liu Yan, and seized the position of Marshal Lu Long.

It's just that Liu Rengong didn't be happy for long, he just captured Youzhou, and he was happy for three days, but the former general of the Lu Long Army, the current commander of the Yiwu Army, Li Quanzhong, came to a praying mantis to catch cicadas, and the yellow finch was behind, and in a blink of an eye, he secretly colluded with the officers in Youzhou City, and came to a way to give back to him. led the army into Youzhou City, Liu Rengong was caught off guard, was driven out of Youzhou City in embarrassment, and fled to Hedong after the most Lu, and went to Yanmen Jiedu to make Li Keyong.

At present, the situation in Hebei is very delicate, and the original towns have joined forces to oppose Qin, but now because of Liu Yue's death, this alliance has become chaotic on its own. Liu Yue and Liu Yan brothers were killed successively, and now Longlu Youzhou Town fell into the hands of Li Quanzhong, Li Quanzhong controlled Yiwu Town, Ding, Lulong Town, Zhuo Prefecture. Lu Long's general Liu Rengong was forced out of the game and defected to Li Keyong's men.

Now Li Keyong and Liu Rengong, as well as Wang Jingchong, who previously supported Liu Rengong, are all dissatisfied with Li Quanzhong's swallowing of Lulongzhen alone.

This series of changes is a great thing for Li Jing. Li Jing and the others were still wondering which assassin was so kind and helped them do such a good deed. Just today, a group of knights from the north arrived, saying that it was a messenger from Li Ke, the king of Yanmen County, and that the assassins sent by Li Jing had fallen into his hands.

After some detailed explanation, all the civil and military people present basically understood what was going on.

Murong Xue, for a moment everyone remembered the name of this stunning female assassin.

Li Jing had mixed feelings in his heart at this time, and he was slightly distracted, recalling the beautiful assassin in Chang'an City at the beginning. It was a female killer with a cold and icy appearance. It seems to be ruthless, but it is actually amorous. The two didn't get along for a long time, but they had a relationship after the end. The last came suddenly, and the end was fast, she finally left, and Li Jing didn't do much to keep it, but just made an appointment and forgot about it in the rivers and lakes.

He didn't expect that the woman who had decided to leave everything in the past behind would actually come out of the mountain again.

first assassinated Liu Yue, and after succeeding, he went to assassinate Li Keyong. However, the last one was captured.

Li Keyong thought that Murong Xue was sent by him, but Li Jing knew that he and Murong Xue had been separated for several years. He also believed that this was not a game, and it was impossible for Murong Xue to join forces with Li Ke to calculate him.

He had even guessed that Murong Xue's assassination of Liu Yue and Li Keyong was definitely not a task taken over for money. Murong Xue made a move, most likely to help herself. Although this idea was a little too narcissistic, he thought it was very possible.

"How is this possible?" The eleventh disciple Li Rang groaned, "How is it possible? Since Murong Xue is a powerful killer assassin, why did she assassinate Liu Yue and Li Keyong? What the hell was she thinking? ”

How could it not be possible? Wang Pu sat on the side and thought to himself. Although as the father of Mrs. Li Jingsan, he didn't want to hear about his son-in-law and other women outside. The more women Li Jing has, the more spoils her daughter will be spoiled. But then, he had to admit that Li Jing was indeed very attractive to women. Li Rang hadn't seen Murong Xue, but he did. He knew what kind of female killer Murong Xue was, she was going to kill Li Jing at the beginning, but she was not only dedicated to Li Jing in the end. also protected Li Jing in turn. Now it is said that this woman is for Li Jing. Assassinate Liu Yue and Li Keyong. It's not surprising. This is an infatuated woman, although Li Rang is very shrewd in financial management, but he is obviously not smart enough in this regard.

"I would do the same." Gongsun Lan responded on the side, women always know women's hearts best. "You guys can't understand a woman's mind, especially Li Qilang, you haven't seen Murong Xue, I don't know if this is a woman who loves Her Highness very much, and she can block the sword for Her Highness. I heard that after separating from His Royal Highness that year. went away to the desert and lived in seclusion. Now that the Khitan has ended the civil strife, defeated the Tatars and Xi successively, and joined forces with the four towns of Hebei and Li Keyong, they are ready to take advantage of the current unstable situation in our southward movement to join forces against us. Murong Xue must have heard the news, so this stupid woman re-emerged and went to assassinate Liu Yue and Li Keyong at risk. Murong Xue was an assassin, so her way of doing things was to follow her as an assassin. In her opinion, kill Liu Yue and other leaders of the anti-Qin alliances. Then the towns will inevitably be in chaos, and this is a big deal for His Highness. ”

"It turns out. And it did have an immediate effect. Jing Xiang nodded and said, "Liu Yue's death eventually led to the civil strife of Lu Longjun, and the three towns of Yiwu Town, Chengde Town, and Yanmen Town were also involved. The original alliance has died in name only, and a conflict between the towns is on the horizon. If it weren't for this incident, the towns would have already launched an attack on us. ”

Li Jing summoned Li Keyong's messenger in again, "What is Li Keyong's request?" "His face was like a stone carving, and he didn't show any emotion on it." What deal does Rick want to make with me with the woman who is holding me? ”

Li Jing turned his head to stare at the messenger, and Liu Xun saw a golden light flash in his master's pupils, but he couldn't tell whether it was approval or disgust. Li Jing remained silent at meetings, usually listening to others' opinions before speaking, and speaking only later. Liu Xun has always wanted to emulate this habit, and then at this time, Li Jing, such a calm is also very unusual, the more calm he is on the surface, Liu Xun is clear, then the more uncalm he must be in his heart.

"How much ransom does Li Keyong want?" Li asked a question.

The visitor shook his head tiredly. "The king of Yanmen doesn't want a ransom, the king of the county is the king of the court, how can you compare him with the kidnappers and bandits? However, His Royal Highness the King of Qin, the marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, held hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, but he sent a female streamer to sneak into Yanmen to assassinate. Could it be that there is no man in the Northeast Road? ”

Guo Shunli was wearing a silver and purple burqa, and his face showed anger: "Bold, presumptuous!" ”

"Just say your terms!" Li Jing said lightly, but there was a touch of history in his eyes, and the messenger finally lowered his posture with some fear when he came into contact with Li Jing's gaze.

"There is only one request from the King of Yanmen, to use this beautiful female killer of His Royal Highness the King of Qin in exchange for the Shatuo rebel general Gaiyu."

As soon as this sentence came out, Gai Yu, who was sitting in the hall, changed his face and almost scolded. He was captured at the time of Shatuo's defeat, and surrendered to Li Jing later. In the past few years, following Li Jing, it can be regarded as a good mix, it should be said that it is a hundred times better than the original mix. Now he is the official of Daxingtai, the head of the six heavenly officials, and he is also involved in politics and belongs to one of the decision-making levels. The real power is in his hands, Li Jing's core ministers. Compared to when he was under Li Keyong, I don't know how many times Lu Dao was used.

Besides, now that Li Keyong wants to exchange him for going back, he definitely doesn't want to reuse him, it definitely kills him.

Li Jing waved his hand at the messenger, and immediately a guard stepped forward to take the guard away.

Gongsun Lan looked at Li Jing and asked, "Li Keyong made this request that we obviously couldn't agree to, what does he want to do?" ”

Li Zhen said on the side: "The top priority now is not what Li Keyong wants to do, but what should we do next?" ”

Li Jing's mind was full of Murong Xue's shadow at this time, this woman actually did this, which was really unexpected to him, and it also moved his heart warmly. Now, she has fallen into the hands of Li Keyong, and no matter what, he must get her back.

At this time, Li Jing interrupted the people who were arguing, and Huo Ran got up, "My woman is now in Li Ke's hand!" He repeated, his voice piercing through the noise of the crowd, like a flood of bells. Gongsun stayed, Gai Yu and Jingxiang also stayed, and the others retreated. (To be continued......)
