"Princess, rest assured, we will definitely cut off Jiang Tian's head this time."
Yelü Hongyan had no idea that she had originally planned to take her assassins to Longcheng.
As a result, Jiang Tian actually came to Flying Fox City, and even rode around wildly in a carriage that didn't need horses at all.
"As long as Jiang Tian lives, our Great Liao will never have peace."
Upon hearing this, Yelü Hongyan shook his head: "Take a good look at yourselves, do you even have that kind of strength?"
"Xiao Tianzuo and Xiao Tianyou led 100,000 cavalrymen and had already entered the Great Wall, but what happened? They were wiped out."
"Xiao Feng and Xiao Yuanshan were at Vulture Ridge, preparing to ambush Jiang Tian, but they couldn't even find his body."
As Yelü Hongyan finished speaking, he couldn't help but shudder.
Jiang Tian was terrifying to them.
Yelü Hongyan witnessed Xiao Tianzuo being knocked seven or eight meters away by Jiang Tian.
“Princess, if we weren’t here to kill Jiang Tian, why would we travel all this way to Flying Fox City?”
Yelü Hongyan: "Is all you see fighting and killing?"
Whoosh... a crossbow bolt flew in.
A Khitan warrior was unable to dodge in time and had his forehead pierced through.
"Those who lie low will not be killed."
"Put down your weapons, or you will be killed without mercy."
"You are surrounded."
A deep, resonant voice came from behind.
The dozen or so Khitans panicked instantly.
"Damn it, the Great Xia people, let's fight them!"
“Kill them.”
With a series of swift movements, the Khitan warriors drew their curved swords from their waists.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
One crossbow bolt after another flew through the air, easily piercing the heads of the Khitan warriors.
"Princess, kneel down."
"Let's go quickly."
"Your Highness, we will cover you."
"Those damned dogs of Great Xia are far too cunning."
"Fight to the death, never retreat."
"Let's give it our all..."
Yelü Hongyan watched as people fell one by one around her: "Stop fighting, we are not enemies. Lord Jiang Tian and I are friends."
Shen Lian led his men and rushed over, slashing his blade across Yelü Hongyan's delicate neck.
"Do you think we'll believe what you're saying? A dozen or so Khitans sneaking around here must be up to no good."
"Guards, take him to the Dragon City Prison. He must be tortured, severely tortured."
"promise……"
Yelü Hongyan originally intended to join forces with Jiang Tian to deal with Empress Xiao, but he was captured as soon as he arrived in Feihu City.
“I’m telling the truth. I’m good friends with your Lord Jiang. You can find out where Lord Jiang is in Flying Fox City just by asking.”
"What's your name...?"
"You... just take me there."
Upon hearing this, Shen Lian angrily retorted, "You want to get close to our lord and then suddenly assassinate him? You wish!"
"My lord, I cannot reveal my name, and I am not carrying any weapons."
...
Jiang Tian's residence.
Shen Lian walked in.
"My lord, there is a Khitan girl who claims to be your friend."
"Yelü Hongyan?" Jiang Tian blurted out.
"This... I don't know."
"Does the lord wish to see her?"
"There's no need. Release her, warn her not to cause trouble on my turf, and if she does it again, behead her as a warning to the public."
"promise……"
Yelü Hongyan left without saying goodbye.
Now that they've run to Flying Fox City without a purpose, Jiang Tian simply doesn't believe it.
If it weren't for the fact that they had slept together before, Jiang Tian would have killed her long ago.
"By the way, have her tell that old bitch Empress Xiao that once I take over Jizhou and Qingzhou, I'll deal with her next time. That damned old dog."
“Understood…” Chen Lian said, “My lord, our Embroidered Uniform Guard has received news that General Li Cunxiao has captured Ye City.”
"So fast?"
Ye City is the capital of Ji Province and also the largest city in Ji Province. Taking Ye City is equivalent to controlling more than half of Ji Province.
...
The residence of Yelü Hongyan.
“Our lord said he doesn’t want to see you. Also, he asked you to pass on a message to Empress Dowager Xiao: after he conquers Jizhou and Qingzhou, he will go after Empress Dowager Xiao.”
Upon hearing this, Yelü Hongyan's heart tightened. Jiang Tian must have been furious when she left without saying goodbye.
Yelü Hongyan sighed deeply: "Jiang Tian, are you really that heartless?"
"Leave Flying Fox City immediately."
"Flying Fox City does not welcome you Khitans."
Escorted by several Imperial Guards, Yelü Hongyan and the few remaining Khitan warriors were sent out of the city.
Yelü Hongyan looked at the lush green fields and the emerald green river outside the city, turning back every few steps.
Now, not only is the Great Xia Dynasty suffering from a severe drought, but most areas north of the Great Wall are also experiencing years of drought.
This lush green place captivated Yelü Hongyan, making him linger there.
Inside the city, Song Yingxing connected all the blacksmith shops together.
Thousands of artisans gathered together in the city.
Inside the blacksmith's shop, the clanging and banging of metal striking metal filled the air.
Sparks flew everywhere.
Inside the enormous furnace, molten iron gleamed with a blinding light.
The blacksmiths were all shirtless, and each one was drenched in sweat.
Jiang Tian arrived with his men in two horse-drawn carriages.
The carriage was full of watermelons, grapes, Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor), braised beef, and mutton.
Several horse-drawn carriages came to a steady stop in front of the blacksmith's shop.
Jiang Tian walked into the blacksmith shop with a smile, but no one came out to greet him.
Ling Yunzhi and Chen Feilong: "These blacksmiths are so ignorant of the rules."
"Our lord came to visit them, but they didn't even come out to greet him."
