: Drawing fire from the bottom of the cauldron

"Brother, what do you think this guy Li Hexi is doing? He insists that we come here to intercept him."

The man in black held a bone flute and blew a short sound with a look of reluctance on his face.

"As far as I know, two large groups of people from Qianji Pavilion have arrived in Beicheng and King Liaodan's account respectively, preparing to capture them in one fell swoop - have your people arrived?"

The man in white clothes next to him unfolded his bone fan with a "pop" sound. He stood on the ground covered with yellow sand, his clothes and sleeves flying, and at a glance he looked like a fairy.

"On the way," Fan Wujiu raised a wanton smile, "and he still has to run."

This man in white is the man who was next to Li Hecheng a few days ago.

Hearing this, he smiled helplessly and shook his head. He closed his eyes, felt the direction of the wind, and divined.

"how?"

Fan Wujiu stretched his head, his expression confused.

"If you go up with the lower stem, the lower one will rush up. And if it's against the wind, coming from the west, the guest will win, but the host will be unfavorable."

"I see." Fan Wujiu imitated his incomprehensible look, "——What do you mean?"

At this moment, thousands of troops and horses, which had turned back from outside Pingzhou City, rolled up the dust and rushed towards the two people who were blocking the road.

The man in white still had that meaningful smile, patted Fan Wu Jiu's shoulder, and ran away to watch the show.

"Huh? You!"

Fan Wujiu, who had been smiling playfully just now, became furious in the blink of an eye. He squatted down, gritted his teeth and punched the ground with a roar.

In an instant, a black light exploded and turned into a standing cone along the cracked ground seam, spreading in an instant in front of the Liao and Dan army with a "rumbling" sound.

"Men of Liao Dan, charge into battle with me!"

The leader of Liao Dan raised his machete high, flicked his whip, and charged forward first.

At this moment, hundreds of corpses crawled out from the cracks in the ground and rushed toward their horses!

"Xie Bi'an!! I haven't seen you for three years, but you are still so cunning and hateful!!!"

"Well, good job."

Xie Bi'an shook his fan and lay half on a branch in the distance where even the dust could not touch it:

"It means - it's done."

Pingzhou, Beicheng.

"Lost the city gate and light the fire!"

On the city wall dozens of feet high, a young girl in black clothes stood upright, her long hair tied high, she raised her long bow and aimed at the Liao Dan general who was leading the city, killing him with one blow.

"My senior brother said that since Liao Dan dares to set fire to my city gate, let them know what it means to play with fire and burn yourself."

"Boss," a person dressed as a Qianji Pavilion next to the girl muttered in a low voice, "it seems that Miss Li started this fire."

Jiang Tianluo put away the long bow, glared at the person next to him, then turned around and hit the opponent's calf with the bow arm moderately:

"My sister-in-law taught me martial arts. She is the kindest person. If you continue to slander me, be careful, auntie, I will cut out your tongue."

"Brother Li's so-called general of Qianji Pavilion turns out to be like this. What a shame."

Arrows were raining down in the city, and fires were everywhere. There were actually people chatting with her about their daily life.

Jiang Tianluo put the long bow on the ground, put his hand on the bow, and looked back at the person coming.

"Ah, it turns out to be Miss Jiang."

When the other party saw her face, his ears turned red, and he saluted her gently and elegantly, changing his arrogant look just now.

"Is it you? Gu Qingrang?"

She frowned, with an impatient look on her face, "Senior brother asked you to lead people to steal their king's account, why are you coming to me?"

"Don't worry, Miss Jiang. I've already completed such a small matter. I'm here to meet you."

"Heh, you're pretty fast then."

Jiang Tianluo turned around, lowered his head and looked down at the soldiers of Liaodan who were surrounded by thousands of swords in the city, and ordered to stop them.

"Huh? I'm not happy, girl, don't talk nonsense."

Gu Qingrang's ears turned redder, and then he changed the subject, "Since these people entered the city, they have been burning, killing and looting continuously. Brother Li said that he would kill them all, why didn't the girl do it?"

"The perpetrators are all generals at the head. Ordinary soldiers are just following orders to fight for the country. They have different positions. How can it be right or wrong? Why should I insist on putting them to death?"

"I didn't expect that the number one killer of Qianji Pavilion would actually have a soft-hearted side. I'm just being narrow-minded."

"Aren't you the same?" She looked at the man in green who had never been stained with any blood even though there were corpses everywhere, and pointed at a group of Liao and Dan prisoners of war who were brought back to Pingzhou City in the distance, "Young Master Gu, too.

Not a murderer."

"With you helping my senior brother, I think his journey will be easier."

There was smoke everywhere outside the pass, but there was silence at the Pingzhou banquet.

"Khan, all the horses and food in our camp were destroyed. The army rushed back to support us but was ambushed on the road."

"Even the soldiers of the North City were surrounded and trapped in the city, and arrows were fired."

"Liao Dan, defeated."

The Liaodan soldiers' hands were trembling and they almost collapsed.

"Li Hexi, you!"

Yelu Dejin's eyes became more and more murderous.

"The two countries are at war, and you secretly carry out sneak attacks. How can you be so cunning and cunning?"

"Khan, there is no need to panic. I just said that I would make a bet with the Khan - if I win, the Khan will go back and use the contract as proof that Liao and Dan will not invade Pingzhou again for twenty years."

"If Khan wins - then Pingzhou will be yours."

Yelu Dejin clenched his fists. Obviously, he no longer wanted to listen to a word of King Yi's words.

Seeing that he was silent, Li Hecheng continued to add fuel to the fire:

"This bet is decided by me. I can play it however I want."

He took another sip of wine and continued:

"But - it's normal for Khan not to believe me, but didn't Khan himself say it just now? In the current situation, what's the difference in the outcome if Khan gambles or not?"

"Your Highness, King Yi, do you really think that there is no one in Liao Dan?"

Yelu Dejin punched the table, causing the wine glass to shake and scatter on the floor.

"There are more than a million brave men in Liao and Dan, but now all the Khan's soldiers are in my hands, and Queen Mother Shulu is in charge of the military. Why don't we bet on whether Queen Mother Shulu can rescue you?"

"Or is she willing to really rescue you?"

As soon as these words came out, all Yelu Dejin's words were blocked in his mouth.

He really has no confidence.

"I sincerely wish to negotiate peace with His Highness King Yi. Why does Your Highness force me to a desperate situation?"

He instantly lost his previous arrogance as a strong man, and his voice trembled faintly.

"When thieves are in power, there will be no unity. If Khan remains as gullible as ever and insists on the so-called righteous way, death is not too far away."

Li Qianyin, who had been silent all this time, slowly spoke with an indifferent voice.

"Li Qianyin! It turns out you are the same. You took my Liao Dan soldiers to burn Beicheng. To achieve your goal, you didn't even let the common people go. The two of you played this game with really vicious intentions."

He was out of breath and coughed violently.

"I know a little bit about medical skills, but it would be better for Khan to drink less cold wine."

Seeing his appearance, Li Hecheng frowned.

"Ahem. Your Highness's wine is not as good as the one in my king's account. After all, that wine was given to my mother by your Emperor of the Central Plains."

"Khan, there is no need to be sarcastic. The "people" in the city are all Pingzhou's death row prisoners, and they are meant to be executed." At this point, Li Hexiang looked at Li Qianyin with some confusion, "Except for the city lord, who is one of our people, I don't know.

Why did Miss Li behead him?"

"I don't know the identity of the lord of Beicheng, and that person is dissolute and immoral, and he behaves like an animal. Your Highness's servants should also check their character."

After hearing this, Li Hexi became even more puzzled: "Qianyin, you are mistaken, that person is a cut sleeve."

Li Qianyin was shocked, suddenly thought of something, and instantly felt a chill running through her bones.

"How is this possible?"

She hurriedly turned to the people around her and asked:

"Where is Chu Yuening? Where is she?"
