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

"Yes, Your Highness." The messenger's voice was hoarse and trembled with a hint of fear. On his worn black chest and leather armor, there was a black crow pattern under the dried blood stains.

Strictly speaking, it is not your woman. My daughter who formally married her like this is your woman. General Wang Pu thought to himself. He took a sip of wine and said nothing. He recalled the woman named Murong Xue, who was a female assassin. He had been ordered by Tian Lingzi to seek governor Li Jing, but in the end he became Li Jing's woman. However, in the end, this very outstanding woman left Li Jing's side. After so many years, she didn't expect that she would appear again. Moreover, as soon as she appeared, it fell into Li Keyong's hands.

Li Jing's generals and staff are now quiet and listening to Li Keyong's messenger telling the story. Under the cool shade of the backyard of the Zhong County Government in Xiaoxian County, Xuzhou, there are only rustling sounds of light breeze blowing through the leaves.

After the Battle of Suzhou, Li Jing mobilized troops northward and surrounded the heavy city of Xuzhou. However, although Xuzhou had been trapped in all sides, it was not easy to fight. There were Huo Cun in Xuzhou, Zhang Guiba and Zhang Guimu, who fled from Suzhou to Xuzhou. Three thieves generals led 30,000 Qi troops, and Liu Zhijun, one of Shi Pu's two generals. This general under Shi Pu now commanded 10,000 troops of all the influence troops who surrendered to Xuzhou.

Li Jing had only 30,000 troops besieged in the city, but there were 40,000 people in the city. Li Jing was not superior. However, Li Jing wanted to fight quickly and decided quickly, and took Xuzhou early, and then went north early. The Military Intelligence Bureau previously received news that Hebei had undergone major changes recently.

According to the information found by the Military Intelligence Bureau, just when the Qin army and the Huai army were fighting in Huainan, Liu Yue, the commander of the Lulong army in Hebei, was suddenly assassinated in Youzhou City. When he first received this news, the Qin army was a little unbelievable. Liu Yue was the commander of the first army, so how could he be assassinated easily? Besides, he couldn't think of who would take the assassination. After all, the four towns in Hebei were joining forces with Li Keyong, Khitan and others. Who would be assassinated except the Qin army?

But things were soon confirmed, because of Liu Yue's incident, it quickly caused a chain reaction.

Liu Yue was assassinated, which first caused a struggle for the position of commander within the Lu Long army. The powerful contenders were Liu Yan, the younger brother of Liu Yue, and Liu Rengong, the commander of Dingba. Liu Yan took the lead and obtained the support of most of the military leaders, and took the lead in ascending to the position of commander Lu Long. Then Liu Yan suddenly ordered, claiming that Liu Yue was killed by Liu Rengong sent assassins and ordered Liu Rengong to be captured.

As a result, Liu Rengong did not surrender. He secretly reached a secret agreement with Wang Jingchong, the governor of Chengde Army, and successfully obtained Wang Jingchong's support and borrowed 10,000 elite troops. Then Liu Rengong fought back and bribed several officers in Youzhou City. He cooperated inside and outside to seize Youzhou City in one battle, killed Liu Yan, and seized the position of General Lu Long.

However, Liu Rengong was not happy for a long time. He had just captured Youzhou and was happy for three days. As a result, the former general of the Lulong Army, Li Quanzhong, the current commander of the Yiwu Army, came to stalk the cicada with a mantis. The oriole was behind him. In a blink of an eye, he secretly colluded with the officers in Youzhou City, and used his own way. He led his army into Youzhou City. Liu Rengong was caught off guard and was driven out of Youzhou City in a mess. Finally, he fled to Hedong and went to join Li Keyong, the governor of Yanmen.

The situation in Hebei is very delicate. The original towns joined forces to fight against Qin, but now because of Liu Yue's death, the alliance has become chaotic first. Liu Yue and Liu Yan brothers were killed one after another. Now, Longlu Youzhou Town has fallen into Li Quanzhong's hands. Li Quanzhong has controlled Yiwu Town Yi, Ding, Lulong Town You and Zhuo Four Prefectures. Lulong General Liu Rengong was forced to be eliminated and defected to Li Keyong's hands.

Now, Li Keyong, Liu Rengong and Wang Jingchong, who had previously supported Liu Rengong, are dissatisfied with Li Quanzhong's own swallowing of Lulong Town.

This series of changes was a great good thing for Li Jing. Li Jing and others were thinking before, which assassin was so kind to do such a good thing for them. Just today, a team of knights from the north came, saying that it was the messenger of Li Keyong, the prince of Yanmen, and that the assassin sent by Li Jing had fallen into his hands and waited.

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

Murong Xue, everyone remembered the name of this assassin.

Li Jing was mixed with feelings at this time. He was slightly ecstatic and recalled the beautiful assassin in Chang'an City. He was a female killer with a cold and ice-like ice and snow. He seemed to be heartless, but in fact he was passionate. The two didn't spend long time together, but in the end they had a relationship. In the end, it came suddenly and ended quickly. She finally left. Li Jing did not try to keep him, but just made an appointment to forget each other in the world.

He didn't expect that the woman who had decided to abandon everything that had passed would finally come out again.

He assassinated Liu Yue first, and then went to assassinate Li Keyong. However, he was captured in the end.

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 big game, and Murong Xue could not join forces with Li Keyong to plot against him.

He even guessed that Murong Xue's assassination of Liu Yue and Li Keyong was definitely not a task for money. Murong Xue's move was likely to help him. Although this idea was a bit narcissistic, he felt it was very likely.

"How is this possible?" Li Rang, the eleventh disciple, said: "How is it possible? Since Murong Xue is a powerful assassin, why should she assassin Liu Yue and Li Keyong? What is she thinking?"

How could it be impossible? Wang Pu sat aside and thought. Although as the father of Li Jing's third wife, he did not want to hear about his son-in-law's affairs outside and other women. The more women Li Jing has, the more his daughter will be divided. But then, he had to admit that Li Jing is indeed very attractive to women. Li Rang has never seen Murong Xue, but he has seen him. He knew what kind of female killer Murong Xue was. He wanted to kill Li Jing, but in the end she not only devoted herself to Li Jing, but also protected Li Jing in turn. It is not strange to say that this woman assassinated Liu Yue and Li Keyong for Li Jing. This is a love-in-law woman. Although Li Rang is very smart in financial management, she is obviously not smart enough.

"I would do this if I did." Gongsun Lan responded on the side. Women will always understand the hearts of women the best. "You group of men cannot understand a woman's mind, especially Li Qilang. You have never seen Murong Xue. I don't know that this is a woman who loves His Highness very much. She can block the knife for His Highness. I heard that after parting with His Highness, she went to the desert to live in seclusion. Now the Khitan has ended civil strife, defeating Tatars and Xi, and joined forces with the four towns in Hebei and Li Keyong, preparing to take advantage of the current situation of our southward movement and joining forces to deal with us. Murong Xue must have heard this news, so this silly woman returned to the world and assassinate Liu Yue and Li Keyong with her own risk. Murong Xue is an assassin, so her way of doing things is to follow her assassin. In her opinion, killing Liu Yue and other leaders of the anti-Qin alliances, the towns will inevitably be in chaos, and this is a big blessing for Your Highness."

"Facts have proved that she did this to have an immediate effect." Jing Xiang nodded and said, "After Liu Yue's death, it eventually led to civil strife in Lu Long's army, and involved the three towns of Yiwu Town, Chengde Town and Yanmen Town. The original alliance had been in name only, and a conflict between the towns was about to begin. If it weren't for this incident, the towns had 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 sculpture, without any emotion on it. "Li Keyong grabbed my woman, what kind of deal do you want to make with me?"

Li Jing turned his head and stared at the messenger. Liu Xun saw a golden light flash in his master's pupils, but he couldn't tell whether it was praise or disgust. Li Jing kept silent at the meeting, usually listening to other people's opinions before speaking, and finally speaking. Liu Xun always wanted to imitate this habit. Then at this time, Li Jing was so calm and unusual. The more calm he was, Liu Xun knew, the more uneasy he would feel.

"How much ransom is Li Keyong want?" Li Rang asked.

The visitor shook his head tiredly. "The Prince of Yanmen does not want a ransom. The Prince of Yanmen is a dignified king. How can you compare him with the kidnappers and bandits? His Royal Highness, the marshal of the world, holding hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, but he sent a woman to sneak into Yanmen to assassinate. Is there no man in the Northeast Road?"

Guo Shunli was wearing a silver-purple burqa with anger on her face: "Bold, be presumptuous!"

"Tell me your conditions directly!" Li Jing said lightly, but there was a hint of ecstasy in his eyes. When the messenger came into contact with Li Jing's gaze, he finally lowered his posture with some fear.

"The Prince of Yanmen has only one request, and exchange this beautiful female killer of His Highness the King of Qin to return to Shatuo's rebel general Gaiyu."

As soon as this sentence came out, Gai Yu's face changed and he almost cursed. He was captured when Shatuo was defeated and finally surrendered to Li Jing. He has been doing well with Li Jing in the past few years, and it should be said that he is a hundred times better than before. Now, as the Minister of Personnel in Daxingtai, he is the head of the six ministries, and he is also a participant in politics and one of the decision-making levels. He has real power and is a core minister of Li Jing. Compared to being under Li Keyong, he is not sure how many times he has benefited from it.

Besides, now that Li Keyong wants to exchange him for his return, he definitely doesn’t want to reuse him, it will definitely cost him his life.

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

Gongsun Lan looked at Li Jing and asked, "Li Keyong made this request that we obviously could not agree to. What do he want to do?"

Li Zhen said on the side: "The most urgent thing 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 moment. It was beyond his expectations and moved and warm in his heart. Now, she fell into Li Keyong's hands. No matter what, he must save her.
