"How did the female assassin get here?"

"The last time the army attacked Yizhou and retreated, the auxiliary soldiers from Dacaogu came back from the village outside Yizhou City. It is said that the woman was disguised as a peasant woman at that time, so no one suspected that she was an assassin. And later brought it to Yanmen Afterwards, I was in the workshop first, and later saw that she was honest, agile, and young, so I pulled her to the palace to take charge of the laundry, and found no problems." Li Si'en replied.

"Then why did she appear in my father's tent?"

"I heard that when the old man came to the palace and left, he suddenly met the woman, and then the old man fell in love with him, so he talked to the steward of the palace, and took her back. Who would have imagined that the woman was actually an assassin. .”

No, it's not possible.

Li Ke thought with some disbelief that his father was not a lecherous man. On the contrary, his father was a mighty man outside, but at home, he was a good man who cared for his mother and even feared his wife.Besides, since the assassin was working in his own house, it was impossible for his father to take him away directly from his house.

He was a little puzzled, but he suddenly understood that the assassin's target must have been himself.In the end, he was suddenly taken away by his father in the end, and his father blocked the knife for him.

The female killer last time was sent by Li Jing, who injured him and killed Li Youjin.This time the killer came for him again, and ended up killing his father.Needless to say, this assassin must also be sent by Li Jing.

Li Jing, this shameless guy, he obviously has enough food and good soldiers, but why can't he send troops to compete with me in an upright manner, but always use such indecent methods?

Li Jing is not a hero!Li Ke said with hatred in his heart.

This is a challenge, and he must find a way to retaliate.

Li Jing wanted to assassinate him, and then there would definitely be internal support from Yanmen, who would cooperate with him from the inside and outside, and take advantage of the chaos to attack Yanmen Town directly, trying to destroy the Shatuo tribe in one fell swoop.This reminded him of the battle of Daibei, where he was fighting to the death with the imperial court towns, but Li Jing held a heavy army, but always kept his head hidden and showed his tail. He chose to strike at the most critical time, with the least loss and the greatest contribution.

let him come!Li Ke shouted in his heart, I will crush him.

In the final analysis, Li Jing is not so terrible. Although Li Keyong was defeated at the beginning, he did not admit that he was defeated by Li Jing, but by Zhuzhen.

No one can scare him, he is Li Keyong, the flying tiger, and King Shatuo, the one-eyed dragon!

The rising sun made the roofs of Yanmen City bright crimson, but the street walls below were still in darkness.

The outer city of Yanmen City was still quiet, but the inner city was already boiling. Squads of black-robed Shatuo troops had quickly taken control of the place. The top and bottom of the Iron Forest Army were disarmed and put in custody for orders.

Li Guochang is dead, and the old patriarch of the Shatuo people is dead!Died in a quiet dawn, at the hands of a lurking female assassin.The majestic old man Shatuo, but in the end his old eyes were dim, and he mistakenly regarded an enemy killer as a Han female slave who could pull the gun at any time!

A group of Black Crows in black robes and armor took over Li Guochang's house.

"No one is allowed to enter or leave without my permission." Li Ke said coldly.

Li Guochang's mansion was quiet, Li Keyong held back his tears, Li Kexiu, Li Kerou, Li Kezhang and other brothers had already arrived one step ahead of him, and his wife Liu Yunniang was in charge of the mansion.

When he arrived, Liu Yuniang immediately came forward to greet him and mourned him in a low voice.At this moment, Li Keyong felt his chest was full of anger, almost exploding. He wished to overthrow this mansion immediately. God damn Li Jing, this damn Kang Junli.

"Come on, tell Li Cunxin immediately, let him execute Kang Junli immediately, and take his head."

Liu Yunniang stepped forward in surprise, took his hand and said anxiously: "Although General Kang has neglected his duties, he is the senior general of Shatuo. Why is your husband so heavy?"

"Kang Junli colluded with Li Jing, murdered his father, and intended to assassinate me. He even planned to cooperate with Li Jing and surrender the city. How could I keep him?" Li Keyong said coldly.

"How is this possible?" Liu Yuniang asked in shock.

Li Ke said in a cold voice: "How is that impossible? At the beginning, I believed so much in Gai Yu and Guo Chongtao. One was my number one adviser, and the other was once appointed as my deputy commander. But in the end, they all turned their backs on me."

"But, we just caught the assassin's accomplices, and the interrogation revealed that they were not sent by Li Jing, but were sent by Li Quanzhong. Moreover, they have nothing to do with General Kang," Liu Yuniang said.

After the incident happened, Kang Junli began to punish the sergeant on duty, and Liu Yunniang also sent people to investigate immediately. As a result, her people quickly found out the same group of people who were entered into Yanmen as the assassin, and found that one of them had escaped, but Yan Yan The gates were closed, and she was quickly searched.After some interrogation, the result was obtained.Both of them were dead soldiers under Li Quanzhong, and their purpose was to enter Yanmen and assassinate Li Keyong.As a result, after Li Keyong was assassinated last time, his surroundings were tightly guarded, and he couldn't find a chance.But yesterday Li Guochang took the assassin away not because he was really lustful, but because he saw something suspicious, and when he brought it back, he wanted to use his tricks to lure out some news.Unexpectedly, he underestimated the assassin, but was discovered by her. As a result, the gutter capsized and died at the hands of the assassin.

"Are you sure?" Li Ke was shocked.

"It has been fully confirmed and a lot of evidence has been found. They are indeed Li Quanzhong's deadly assassins."

Oops, Li Keyong exclaimed.He had hinted to Li Cunxin to kill Kang Junli before, but I'm afraid it's too late now.He hurriedly sent someone to send an order to Li Cunxin, but soon, the messenger brought Li Cunxin back, and Li Cunxin reported to him that Kang Junli was secretly colluding with Li Jing. He committed suicide by drinking poisoned wine.

"Kang Junli colluded with Li Jing? Where's the evidence?" Mrs. Liu didn't believe it, so she asked Li Cunxin.

"Before Kang Junli died, he burned all the secret letters in collusion with Li Jing." Li Cun said.

Li Keyong heaved a long sigh, he knew that Kang Junli's betrayal was mostly false, it was just Li Cunxin's refusal.However, Li Cunxin cannot be blamed for this matter, after all, he was the one who ordered the action, and Li Cunxin was just executing it.Although he regretted it in his heart, his life could not be revived, and it was impossible for him to admit that it was his mistake, otherwise he would be disappointed.I can only bite Kang Junli's betrayal.

Li Siyuan was dressed in white linen and stood in front of Li Guochang's bedroom door with a solemn expression.

"My father is still in the bedroom?"

"We have just scrubbed the body for the boss, and have changed our clothes." Li Siyuan said as he opened the door.

Li Keyong entered the bedroom, but couldn't recognize the deceased for a while.His hair was still his father's, but he felt so small and old when he was lying on the bed at this moment. The once tall Patriarch Shatuo was curled up in a ball, dry and wrinkled.

"My lord was shot in the chest by an arrow, the arrow was poisonous, and he died immediately."

Li Siyuan introduced later that it was a special crossbow, only half the size of a writing brush, hidden in the assassin's sleeve.When Li Guochang brought her back, the guards didn't find out how she was hiding on her body.The crossbow needle was fed with deadly poison, and he died instantly, and there might be no rescue at all.

Shatuo's most valiant warrior ever ended up like this.

"Are you stupid? Why are you still in a daze?" Li Ke roared, clenching his hands into fists, "My father is a Shatuo warrior, the patriarch of the previous generation, the king of Yanmen County in the Tang Dynasty, and Shatuo How can one of the greatest warriors and leaders in the history of the clan just lie down like this? Let the bells in the whole city ring, and invite all the monks and Taoists in Yanmen, and let them do things together and do a full job Seventy-seven forty-nine days, and in addition, capture another 49 captive slaves for me, and let them be buried with the late king!" He loudly ordered, "Immediately ask the supervisor, Mr. Chen Jingsi, to come and send this mourning message to The emperor of Chengdu is here, report to the emperor and tell the whole world."

"Where are Li Siyuan, Li Sizhao, and Li Cunzhang!" Li Keyong roared, almost roaring.

The three generals immediately knelt down and listened, "The child is here!"

Li Ke exuded a chill like ice with one eye, "Immediately send an order, the whole army mourns, and wears sackcloth and filial piety for my father. I now order the three of you to immediately assemble your own troops and horses, and send troops to Yizhou in three days to discuss Kill Li Quanzhong and avenge my father."

"Kexiu!" Li Keyong turned to look at his brother Li Kexiu again, "I want you to go to Chengde Town immediately and tell Wang Jingchong that I need him to send troops to help me defeat Li Quanzhong. he."

Liu looked at her angry husband and wanted to speak out several times, but in the end she didn't say anything.Once the Shatuo people's anger is ignited, they will never stop dying!

The blood debt can only be repaid with blood, blood for blood, tooth for tooth.

Even if they knew that it was inappropriate to launch troops against Li Quanzhong at this time, it had not been long since the last defeat, and Yanmen had just sent 2 troops to the grassland.At this time to fight Li Quanzhong again, Sha Tuo is not ready yet.

But even so, this battle must be fought. .

The mourners will win!

The Shatuo people have always been despised by the Han Chinese as barbarians, but the Shatuo people also value revenge the most.

Now, the old patriarch of the Shatuo people was killed in his bedroom, and that man was just a defeated general.If this enmity is not avenged, then the Shatuo people will talk about the elites in the world.

Those who dare to offend Shatuo will be punished no matter how strong they are!

"What if Wang Jingchong refuses to send troops?" Liu reminded in a low voice, it's not impossible.

Li Ke clenched his fists tightly, and his one eye shone with a stunning light.

"This is the time to test our relationship with the Chengde Town Alliance. If he does not send troops, Wang Jingchong will not be my friend, but an enemy of Shatuo. Even if Wang Jingchong does not send troops this time, we Shatuo will not be afraid. We and Li Jing have to have this battle sooner or later, it is better to fight sooner than later! If we want to fight, we will fight him and turn the world upside down!"

Liu Yunniang held Li Keyong's hand and said softly, "Regardless of success or failure, I will always follow you!" (To be continued.)
