Wang Yanzhang was a little bit incredulous and asked, "Are you planning to follow the example of Emperor Gaozu of Han and turn your guns around and attack us when our army turns back?"

"Ah……"

Li Changping sneered: "Sir, I'm serious. Since I can say it, I will definitely do it. You can withdraw your troops and return to the camp. No one dares to stop you here."

"Your Highness..."

But at this moment, Fanyintian took a few quick steps, with some dissatisfaction in his words.

But just as he was about to continue speaking, he felt as if he was being stared at by an ancient wild beast, and waves of numbness came over his head.

When I looked up, I was met with Li Changping's unfriendly face.

"What? Do you have any objections?"

"No...no!"

With Zhu Youwen's bleeding head on the top of the city as a contrast, he also personally experienced the terror of this young man.

Fanyintian didn't dare to say anything more and silently retreated with the pipa in his arms.

"Withdraw the troops and return to the city! General Wang, please do as you please!"

After saying his last words, Li Changping turned around and walked towards Fengxiang without any reluctance.

Although the Four Holy Ladies and the Qi army were unwilling, they retreated cautiously after seeing Li Maozhen nod slightly on the top of the city wall.

Only after he saw the gates of Fengxiang closed with his own eyes did Wang Yanzhang breathe a sigh of relief as if he had survived a disaster.

"call……"

Then, he shook his head with a complicated expression.

"A loyal minister will not serve two masters, and a virtuous woman will not marry two husbands. Although he is cruel and inhumane, he is still my master. It's a pity... You shouldn't have been born so late."

----

The roof of Fengxiang City Tower.

Two figures, one black and one white, had a panoramic view of everything that was happening outside the city.

Seeing the two armies withdraw their troops, Hei Wuchang laughed sinisterly: "Xuan Ling, our chance to make a contribution has come."

"Meritorious service?"

"That's right. Your Majesty is a man of talent. For Wang Yanzhang, he is willing to give up the victory in front of him. As long as we help him to subdue this man, it will be a great achievement."

"us?"

Bai Wuchang pointed at himself and said with some uncertainty: "Can you help him subdue Wang Yanzhang?"

"Of course it's impossible under normal circumstances, but little sister, have you forgotten who we are? We know everything about the Wuchang of Xuanming Sect and Daliang State, including Wang Yanzhang's family..."

Perhaps he thought of something, Hei Wuchang looked at the figure slowly disappearing outside the city, and the smile on his face became even more sinister.

"Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot be achieved at the same time, so let him make a choice..."

"you want……"

Hearing this, Bai Wuchang was so frightened that he quickly covered Hei Wuchang's mouth and said, "Brother, will His Majesty agree to do this?"

"We won't tell His Majesty..."

I don’t know what he was thinking about, but Hei Wuchang became even more excited.

As he spoke, he kept licking the red spider lily mark on Bai Wuchang's face with his tongue.

"The Bad Guys handled the evil deeds for the Li Tang royal family, and the Xuanming Cult helped the Zhu father and son to carry out assassinations. There are also the Huanyingfang and Tongwenguan, and these people all helped the Kings Qi and Jin to do dirty things behind the scenes."

"As long as we get this done, we will be His Majesty's black gloves from now on. We only need to deal with the dirty and evil things that His Majesty is not convenient to deal with. His Majesty will always rely on us."

Hei Wuchang's words made Bai Wuchang's eyes light up: "So, in the future, when we fight for supremacy in the world, we will be more useful than those civil and military ministers?"

"That's right, but we have to figure out what to do next. Guess what His Majesty wants from the words and we'll get it for him."

"So what do we do now?"

"Little sister, dress up and go to Bianzhou to bring Wang Yanzhang's family to Fengxiang. As for the rest, you don't have to worry about it."

You two say something, and I say something.

During the discussion, he couldn't help but let out a few sinister and seductive smiles.

The laughter, like the cry of a night owl, made the soldiers guarding the city wall feel creepy.

I looked up but didn't notice anything unusual, so I could only attribute it to hallucinations.

Chapter 54 Liu Yi

"Your Majesty, the Qi army has withdrawn..."

Kneel before Long Zhan.

The thin and petite Zhong Xiaokui felt relieved for some reason. It was as if a heavy stone in her heart had fallen to the ground.

Following Zhu Youzhen all the way, even though she was used to seeing scenes of devastation, she still felt a little bit sorry.

Fortunately, the Qi army withdrew...

Otherwise, one shot would leave corpses everywhere, and even the Liang army would not be spared.

"what?"

Unlike Zhong Xiaokui, Zhu Youzhen, who was lying on the throne, no longer cared about enjoying himself at this moment, and he held onto the railing with an angry look on his face and looked towards the battlefield.

"Damn it, damn it!"

"Who told Wang Yanzhang to withdraw his troops? Let him continue to fight and lure out the Qi army. Who cares if he is Emperor Zhu Youwen? My invincible general can flatten Fengxiang with one cannon!"

"Your Majesty, the death of the Ghost King has dealt a heavy blow to the morale of our army. How about we take a break and fight again tomorrow?"

This time, it was no longer Zhong Xiaokui who spoke.

But it was a beautiful woman sitting on the dragon throne.

But after hearing these words, Zhu Youwen, who should have become even angrier, put away all his anger and turned around with an eager look on his face.

"Yes, yes, just listen to Shi Yao and let Wang Yanzhang take eighty military sticks himself! If you can't take Fengxiang tomorrow, bring your head to me."

"Yes!"

Zhong Xiaokui agreed and retreated quietly.

----

Prince Qi's Palace.

Although it has not been long since he came back here, Li Changping feels very different.

Last time, he relied on his identity as a bad guy and the reputation he had made in Qingcheng Mountain.

But this time, he was treated like a guest of honor.

Sitting in the backyard on equal footing with Li Maozhen.

Even the maid who served her was more respectful and more skillful than last time.

And judging from the scars on their hands, they are all people who practice martial arts for many years.

If nothing unexpected happens, he was exiled here from Huanyinfang.

After taking a sip of tea, Li Maozhen said, "The man you brought here has already woken up. Judging from his clothes and accent, he seems to be a Khitan?"

Li Changping also picked up a bowl of tea and brought it to his mouth, smiling and saying, "Yes, and he is not a simple Khitan. He is the leader of the Mobei tribes, Yelu Abaoji!"

"Yelü Abaoji?"

Hearing this name, Li Maozhen was slightly surprised.

"Why is he here? And he said his name is Liu Yi."

"When he was wandering outside, he always had an extra layer of insurance to feel more at ease. His brother Yelu Lage was jealous of his position, so he started a rebellion and hunted him down here."

Li Changping explained slowly.

At this point, he raised his eyebrows again: "I think your Fengxiang is not very safe... How can the people from Mobei burn, kill and loot here at will?"

Perhaps this sentence touched Li Maozhen's sore spot.

She lowered her head silently, frowned and sighed: "Central Plains is now in flames everywhere. I can't even manage this city, so how can I have the experience to manage Mobei..."

"So, I brought Yelu Abaoji as bait."

As he spoke, Li Changping's eyes shone with an incomparable brilliance.

When he saw Li Maozhen's puzzled look, he put the teacup in the middle of the stone table.

Then he dipped his fingers in a little tea and roughly drew a map of the Central Plains on the table.

"The Central Plains has not yet been settled, so Mobei cannot be settled even more!"

After finishing the painting, Li Changping pointed to the territory outside the Central Plains, his eyes filled with cold murderous intent.

"To prevent him from developing evil ambitions, I will make him bleed like a river, and for at least five years, he will not be able to move south again."

Even though it's just a few short sentences.

But the information revealed in it made Li Maozhen shocked.

She stood up instantly: "What are you going to do?"

"Yelü Abaoji fought bravely in Mobei and enjoyed great prestige. His wife Shuliduo was scheming. The two of them complemented each other and secured their position as the King of Mobei."

As he spoke, Li Changping drew two circles in the central area of ​​Mobei.

"Yelü Lage was dissatisfied with his position as the King of Mobei and intended to seize power and usurp the throne, but he was chased and killed into the Central Plains."

"Although Shuliduo has scheming minds, he lacks prestige and urgently needs to find Abaoji."

Li Changping laughed.

"That is to say, the bait for these two fish is in our hands. We only need to guide them a little bit to make them kill each other..."

It was just a few words, but after hearing them, Li Maozhen felt a chill run through his bones.

At this moment, I feel that the sun in the sky can no longer give people warmth, and even the flowers in the garden have lost their former fragrance.

"Whether he is Liu Yi or Yelu Abaoji, I have met him before. He is honest and simple-minded. He doesn't seem to be a man with any ambitions."

"Ah……"

After listening to Li Maozhen's explanation, Li Changping's face was full of sarcasm.

"No ambition? He will become the lord of Mobei? King Qi, do you believe it yourself? Do you know why he calls himself Liu Yi?"

"This is ignorance."

"Because he compared himself to Liu Bang, he compared his wife Shuliduo to Xiao He and gave him the surname Xiao! King Qi might as well think about it, who are Liu Bang and Xiao He? A person from Mobei, changing his surname to a Han surname, isn't this preparing to rule the Central Plains?"

As he spoke, a fierce look flashed in Li Changping's eyes.

"Central Plains is now in turmoil and the people are living in misery. If we unify Mobei now, wouldn't we return to the chaotic times of the late Sui Dynasty when the Turks ruled? I want to bring chaos to Mobei as well."

Hearing this, Li Maozhen seemed to have figured something out, and his voice softened: "What are you going to do?"

"here!"

Li Changping tapped the table with his hand and continued, "Sixty miles from Qi State, there is a valley surrounded by mountains on three sides, shaped like the mouth of a gourd. We put A Baoji in it. Send the message in two ways."

"One says Liu Yi was kidnapped here by Yelu Lage, and another says Shuliduo has rescued her husband and is resting here."

"In this case, both sides will gather their troops, one will fight desperately to rescue, and the other will do its best to kill! When the time comes, King Qi will wait for them to finish fighting, and then just block the valley to injure Mobei and make them have no intention of setting foot in the Central Plains again."

Although they were plain words, Li Maozhen was frightened when he heard them.

After Yelu Abaoji's death, Shuliduo lost her value. What awaited her was a new husband, and it was most likely Yelu Lage.

But if Yelu Abaoji survived, the first people he would settle accounts with after returning would definitely be those who started the rebellion.

One side wants him to live, the other side wants him to die.

Using him as bait, the two forces must really fight with all their might, without any way out.

They will even mobilize all their connections to persuade other tribes to help.
