Late Tang

(It will be Christmas Day soon, and I wish everyone a happy marriage. But it’s good to do happy things during sex, but you have to be restrained! Here, I also thank you for the new year, and I will continue to support you in the Year of the Horse Dear students of Muzi, thank you!)

He dreamed that he entered the Golden Luan Hall of the Daming Palace, sat on the Golden Dragon Chair, and looked down at the courtiers.

Above the Golden Palace, the courtiers of His Majesty Dan Chi are nothing but servile people. The arrogant nobles and domineering feudal commanders bow down before him.The princes of the feudal town knelt at his feet, kissed his boots, and expressed their allegiance, and the proud nobles and civil servants recited beautiful lines to flatter him.

He answered them all with a smile.

At this moment, that nasty farmer got out from nowhere, pointed at him, and laughed loudly.And the princes and nobles who flattered him in every possible way just now also laughed, and even the hateful eunuchs at the side of the hall covered their faces with their sleeves and laughed lightly.

Li Keyong suddenly realized that he was not wearing any clothes, and he was tied to the dragon chair!

Frightened and angry, he tried to break free, looking for his own sword, and stabbing those who mocked him to death one by one.As a result, the more he struggled, the tighter he was bound. What bound him was thorns and vines, with spikes growing on it. When struggling, the spikes pierced his tough skin, and blood flowed down his body.He wanted to stand up, but his legs were pinned to the ground by the two five claws of the golden dragon, and he couldn't move away. The more he struggled, the more painful he was.The Golden Dragon Chair mercilessly swallowed him until he became bloody and weak...

And that damn Li Jing has been cheering and shouting below him, laughing at him to his heart's content.And behind him, more and more people he hated appeared.Zheng Congxun with a gray beard, Yu Jian with a Weituo on his back, Xin Xun with a big sword on his back, Shi Jingcun from the Anqing tribe, Mihaiwan from the Sagar tribe, Helianduo, Bai Yicheng from the Helian tribe, and Qibi tribe Qi Bizhang, Guo Chongtao, Liu Rengong who betrayed him, Li Quanzhong, Li Keju and many other enemies of his family all followed behind Li Jing, cheering and mocking.

When someone lightly touched his shoulder and woke him up immediately, the mocking laughter of Li Jing and those people still echoed in his ears.Li Ke screamed loudly, his master and concubine, Cao Shi, was so frightened that his complexion turned pale, and he was almost out of his wits.

There were other people in the room, Li Ke realized immediately with vigilance.There are shadows in front of the bed, the tall man is wearing a long cloak, and the reflection of the armor is faint.

How could anyone dare to break into my bedroom in armor?What happened, where are the guards?

The light in the bedroom was dim, but he had already seen several armored warriors standing in front of the bed.He calmed himself down, and immediately turned over and got up, "Who is here?"

A warrior in armor walked up to the bed, holding a lantern in his hand.

"Sizhao?" The visitor was a little short in stature, somewhat similar to Li Sizhao.

"My lord." The whisper did not belong to Li Sizhao, "Madam ordered me to come and report." He was about the same size as Li Sizhao, but although Li Sizhao was short, he was very strong.But he was small and thin, especially his sharp chin, which made him realize that it was another adopted son Li Cunxin who came.Li Keyong gradually calmed down, and began to sit on the bed, listening to Li Cunxin's slightly hoarse voice reporting news about crossbows, poisonous arrows, and a beautiful Han woman he had snatched.The more he listened, the more confused he became. He felt that he hadn't woken up from his dream and was still in a dream.

I must still be dreaming, when I wake up, that damned Li Jing will immediately send news from my eyes, including these absurd news.

He lowered his head and looked at his body impatiently. Although he was half naked, he was still wearing pants.His hands were covered with calluses, but there was no wound at all.Touching the body again, the naked skin was exposed to the chill of dawn, and there were goosebumps, but there were no scratches or punctures, let alone thorns, or wounds.His feet are also intact and not penetrated.

Dream, it was just a nightmare.

I was a little too happy last night, I drank too much, and the Wuliangye produced in Dengzhou was still so violent.

But I have been so smooth and happy recently, why would I have such a dream?He became brothers with different surnames with Wang Chongrong of Hezhong, King Jingchong of Chengde, and Yelupu Guzhi of Khitan, and his father also became brothers with Yang Fugong, an official in the court.

Why was it that damned Li Jing who had the last laugh?

Cao shi walked to the bed in shock, and handed him a cup of steaming horse milk tea.Li Ke took a sip. After a night of drunkenness, what he needed more was not horse milk tea but kumiss. As for him, he spit it out again.

Chenfeng patted the window lattice, making a creaking sound, and Li Keyong was completely awake.

Li Cunxin was wearing a black cloak and a shiny Dengzhou armor, standing in front of the bed with his sword pressed, behind him were his other sons, Li Sien and Li Siben.Further outside, Li Keyong saw a large number of guards at the door of the bedroom.In the pale morning light, the black armor on the soldiers of his dental soldiers Black Crow Army faintly reflected light.

They are the enemy!

Is what Li Cunxin just said true?Li Keyong couldn't believe it, how could this be true?

He stood up abruptly, and Cao quickly took a mink robe and put it on for him.

"My father has the most elite guards guarding him day and night, and I sent all the Iron Forest Army to guard him!" Li Keyong shouted, his voice a little muddy and hoarse.

"My lord, the Tielin Army was originally one of the four elites of Shatuo, but in the last battle of Youzhou, the Tielin Army was taken away by the Guo thief, and finally surrendered without death. Now the Tielin Army rebuilt by newly selected soldiers It’s not bad, but it’s a new army after all. Although the guards are loyal to their duties, they are inexperienced.” Li Cunxin said aside, “Besides, the killer is a dead soldier who came here with the intention of dying. The brother brought her back as a prisoner, and endured until now, and finally waited for the opportunity to contact the boss, and then suddenly attacked, it is really impossible to guard against."

"Kang Junli!" Anger filled his chest, like a sudden sandstorm, "Kang Junli is the new Tielin military envoy, I will let him protect Father with all his strength!"

"General Kang fulfilled his duties, he was the first to discover the killer, and personally beheaded the female killer." Li Cunxin replied.

But Li Cunxin helped explain this time, but the more he helped, the more angry Li Keyong was.How could he be satisfied with such an explanation? Kang Junli was one of the seven generals in Yunzhong when Yunzhou rebelled against the Tang Dynasty, the veteran of the Shatuo Army, and his confidant.Over the years, Shatuo has gone through countless battles. The old brothers died and surrendered, and there are not many left. Kang Junli is someone he has always trusted.

After his father returned to Shatuo, Li Keyong specially asked Kang Junli to serve as the military envoy of Xinjian Tielin, commanding [-] elite soldiers, and directly obeying his father's orders to guard his father and the city defense of Yanmen.But now it seems that Kang Junli is just another Gai Yu, another Guo Chongtao, he has failed him and Shatuo.

"Where is Kang Junli now?" He gritted his teeth.

Li Cunxin has been observing Li Keyong's expression. Seeing his expression, he couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart, and hurriedly said: "General Kang is investigating tonight's responsibility. I heard that he has executed more than a hundred people who were on duty tonight. Guards and several school lieutenants, and now they are going to track down the Dacaogu auxiliary army who brought back this female killer earlier."

When he said this, his tone deliberately paused several times, as if there was something in his words.

Sure enough, Li Keyong, who was on the verge of anger, heard Li Cunxin's several pauses, and was immediately led by him to think about other aspects.Kang Junli guarded Li Guochang, but in the end he died at the hands of a female assassin under heavy protection.After the incident, Kang Junli immediately beheaded the female assassin with his own hands, without even taking her alive for interrogation.Then, not only did he not come to report and explain what happened, but he immediately executed all the officers and soldiers who were on duty tonight, and now he went to kill the person who brought back the assassin that day.

Isn't this a bit of a cover-up, perhaps, Kang Junli participated in it, and now he is killing people?

Although Kang Junli is a veteran, after the betrayals of Gai Yu and Guo Chongtao, whom he trusted so much at the beginning, he really dare not trust others now.Especially tonight he had such a nightmare again, Li Jing laughed at him like that in the dream.

Could this be a sign that Meng suggested to him that Kang Junli had secretly fallen for Li Jing like Guo Chongtao?

Thinking of this possibility, Li Keyong was restless. Although the Tielin army in Kang Junli's hands was no longer the elite, it had more troops than before, with 1 horses in hand, and controlled the Yanmen city defense.This is a critical position, and there must be no half mistakes.

Once the seeds of suspicion are planted, they will germinate and grow.

Li Cunxin checked his face, and immediately stepped forward and whispered: "When something like this happens, will you immediately send the Black Crow Army and Yier Army to take over the defenses of Yanmen? Also, should you immediately send General Kang to come back and explain what happened?"

Li Keyong stared at Li Cunxin, his eyes met, and the two of them made eye contact. Li Cunxin nodded to Li Cunxin, with a hint of the meaning of leaving everything to me.Li Ke used to ponder, then nodded heavily, and turned to leave.

When we left the Prince Jin's Mansion, the east had already turned pale, but there were still a few big stars shining in the sky.

A superstar has fallen, Li Ke thought to himself, first his uncle Li Youjin died at the hands of the assassin sent by Li Jing, and he was also injured that time.Now that his father died at the hands of a female assassin, only his uncle Li Jinzhong, who led [-] soldiers to the grassland, was left in his generation. I hope nothing will happen to him.

The road of the Shatuo people has never been smooth, but Li Keyong firmly believes that he will be able to take over the Shatuo people from his father and lead them further. (To be continued.)
