At that time, the wine was flowing freely, and the atmosphere at the table was lively with toasts and exchanges of drinks.
A soldier wearing special leather armor made by the Northern Rong came into the tent, bowed, and hurriedly went to Yelü Yan's side, whispering a few words in his ear.
Not long after, Yelü Yan nodded, waved the soldier away, looked around at Li Molin and the others, and said with a smile: "The general sent by Sheng Kingdom has arrived. He is Xie Yao, the second son of Xie Sheng, the Minister of Justice. Xie Yao is a spoiled brat, but there is a strategist of Xie Sheng with him named Wei Xun. This strategist is a bit troublesome."
Li Molin looked up at Yu Ke, who nodded and turned to Yelü Yan, saying indifferently, "I had heard of Wei Xun when I was in Yingyang City. He is indeed quite capable, but unfortunately, although Wei Xun is close to his master Xie Sheng, he has long been at odds with Xie Sheng's second son, Xie Yao."
"Oh?" Yelü Yan was delighted and asked in return, "Really?"
“That’s right.” Yu Ke smiled strangely and said, “King Yelü may not know that the palace is the place where news spreads the fastest. The eunuchs who follow Emperor Rui can always find out some secrets and spread the news firsthand. When I was Emperor Rui’s bodyguard, I heard a lot of all kinds of secrets.”
"Really?" Liuli found it interesting. She temporarily turned her attention away from the delicious food on the table and looked at Yu Ke with a smile. She said, "I love hearing secrets, Yu Ke. Tell me about them."
Li Molin turned to look at Liuli and said in a low voice, "Alright, Liuli, if you want to hear the secret, let Yu Ke tell you when he has time. Now, let's talk about important matters."
Liuli pouted and glared at him unhappily. She brought her face close to Ahua at the corner of the table and whispered, "Hmph, that annoying bastard Li Molin."
"Meow." At that moment, Ahua had just finished eating and was curled up in the corner of the table, looking around curiously. Hearing Liuli's words, she leaned close to Liuli's face and gently kissed Liuli's little face to comfort her.
Although Liuli's voice was low, Li Molin had excellent hearing and listened carefully. He turned his head and gave Liuli an unpleasant look, but in the end, he could only shake his head helplessly.
Lang Yuan poured himself a drink, seemingly oblivious to the conversation inside the tent, completely absorbed in his own world. Ji Jue was similar to Liu Li, focusing most of his attention on the delicious food on the table, only occasionally overhearing a conversation between Yelü Yan, Li Molin, and Yu Ke, but even then, he only understood bits and pieces.
At this moment, Yelü Yan leaned forward and asked, "Young Master Yu, what should we do now?"
Yu Ke lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment before saying, "I only know that Wei Xun and Xie Yao are not on good terms, but I don't know the reason. King Yelü, you might as well wait a few days until our spies in the pass send back definite news, then I can offer you a plan."
"Well..." Yelü Yan hesitated for a while, then nodded and said, "Alright then... Come on, let's not worry about that now, let's drink!"
Yelü Yan hesitated for a while because he was already a little restless. Since he led his troops to Huyue Pass, he had suffered a defeat and been captured. Several months had passed from early spring to midsummer, and the Northern Rong army's food supplies were already running low.
