Song Yu, the magistrate of Ningyang County, turned pale: "What on earth is going on? Why do so many people from Maitreya Buddhism suddenly appear?"
"Where is Master Cao, where is Master Han?"
The master next to him wiped his sweat and said, "Master Cao and Master Han have gone out with their troops to suppress the bandits. Now there are more than a thousand officers and soldiers left in Ningyang County. If we are suddenly attacked by a sneak attack, we will be doomed." "
Song Yu jumped angrily: "Damn Cao Kui and Han Bing, these two took away most of the troops and left such a large county to us. They obviously want us to die."
The master said nervously: "Sir, what should we do now?"
Song Yu took out an envelope from his arms: "Send someone to send it to General Long quickly. Tell him that Ningyang County is being ambushed and ask him to send troops to help."
Han Bing walked over from outside covered in blood, sat down opposite Song Yu, and said with a sad expression: "Cao Kui is dead."
Song Yu was startled: "Isn't it fine? Why did he die suddenly?"
"We encountered an attack by Maitreya Buddhism. Master Cao was defeated and was cut off his horse. Of the 10,000 soldiers and horses we brought over, only a thousand came back."
"What?"
Song Yu suddenly couldn't sit still: "What can I do? What can I do?"
Han Bing said, "The only solution for now is to ask Lord Long Yu to send troops, or we can go directly to Qingshui County."
Song Yu thought about it and said, "Qingshui County is now in a difficult position to protect itself. We can only ask Lord Long Yu."
Just as he was talking, a military general came in a hurry: "Sir, General Long Yu is here."
The two people suddenly became excited and hurriedly welcomed him out. However, when they saw that Long Yu only brought a thousand soldiers and horses, they couldn't help but said nervously: "Sir, is this too little?"
Long Yu smiled lightly and said: "It's just Maitreya Buddhism. To us, it's just a mob. We killed not only 10,000 but also 8,000 Maitreya Buddhism along the way."
Song Yu looked excited: "Really?"
Long Yu said with a smile: "If you don't believe it, you can go out and find out."
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Long Yu was not lying.
The three of them walked into the hall, and Song Yu whispered: "General, if this Maitreya Buddha makes trouble, it will not do us any good."
Han Bing nodded: "Yes, all our strength has been used to suppress Maitreya Buddhism. What if something happens?"
Long Yu smiled faintly: "I have my own way of dealing with Maitreya Buddhism, but you can't be idle. I have a very important thing for you."
When the two heard this, they immediately became energetic: "What's going on?"
Long Yu's eyes flashed with a faint light: "Intercept the Empress's special envoy!"
Song Yu and Han Bing were shocked, and said with frightened eyes: "This, this is not appropriate."
"What's inappropriate? Maitreya Buddhism is making waves now. Who can guarantee that they won't attack the vehicle of the Empress's special envoy?"
"Besides, the Wolf Guards are now clearing out Maitreya Buddha's people, so naturally they won't pay too much attention to where the Empress's special envoy is."
"As soon as the special envoy dies, His Majesty will be furious and will definitely hold the border officials accountable. The eldest princess will be the first to bear the brunt. As soon as the eldest princess leaves the border gate, we will take advantage of the situation and attack the border gate."
Song Yu and Han Bing looked at each other and couldn't help but swallowed: "Sir, are we really going to rebel?"
Long Yu's eyes flashed with coldness: "What, are you scared?"
Song Yu knelt on the ground: "General Long, my family hasn't had time to settle it yet. What if..."
Long Yu snorted coldly, and suddenly grasped Song Yu's neck with his palms, "Hesitating, what's the use of you!"
Seeing Song Yu being killed instantly, Han Bing was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground, "General, spare your life!"
Long Yu looked at Han Bing coldly: "Han Bing, I will confess my identity to you now. My biological father is the Ninth Prince!"
Han Bing was stunned and looked at Long Yu in shock: "You, are you the son of the Ninth Prince?"
Long Yu took out something: "Do you know what this thing is?"
Han Bing looked at the dragon jade pendant in Long Yu's hand and was so scared that he couldn't speak.
"This is the jade pendant that the late emperor left to my father. It's called the Qinglong Jade Pendant. Now you know it."
Han Bing hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Young prince, I have a humble position..."
Long Yu said: "The empress killed the late emperor and forced my father to give up the throne. This is extremely unfilial!"
"Now, it is a good opportunity for us. As long as we act together, my father will definitely take action on the other side of the imperial capital. When the time comes, we will open the border and attract the troops of Great Xia to enter. The world will be at our fingertips! "
"Han Bing, I now order you to kill the Empress's special envoy!"
Han Bing trembled all over, looked at the dead Song Yu, and said hurriedly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will comply with my humble duty."
...
Cui Biao made arrangements for everything and went to see Cui Ying'er.
"Cui Biao, why are you here again?"
Seeing Cui Ying'er's cold expression, Cui Biao said with a smile: "Cui Ying'er is a member of the Cui family after all. You can't look cold."
"If you fart, let it go!" Cui Ying'er looked at Cui Biao coldly.
Cui Biao smiled and said, "I don't know if you have anything to do tonight. I would like to treat you to a meal."
"I'm afraid it's the Hongmen Banquet!"
Cui Ying'er turned around and walked inside: "There are many beggars outside. If you really have the money, go and treat them."
Cui Biao hurriedly stepped forward: "Cui Ying'er, I'll call you cousin anyway. Besides, I really have something to do with you tonight."
"If you have anything to say, just say it here."
Cui Biao frowned: "Cui Yinger, I have decided not to cooperate with Maitreya Buddhism. I want to cooperate with Liu Yijin."
"Huh?" Cui Ying'er glanced at Cui Biao: "Who you cooperate with is your business and has nothing to do with me."
Seeing Cui Ying'er's unsatisfactory look, Cui Biao's eyes flashed with a cold light, and then he smiled and said: "Cousin, I am going to apologize to you for this dinner tonight, and I also want to talk to you about Cui Ying'er. The future development of Jia Laozhai."
"Besides, do you dare to say that you have no responsibility for the death of my second uncle? I am now the deputy village leader, and your father agrees with both public and private matters. Even if you have any objections to me, you can't erase the differences between us. It’s a relationship.”
Cui Ying'er frowned: "There's so much nonsense, tell me, where is it?"
Cui Biao smiled lightly: "Guiyan Tower."
After Cui Biao left, Cui Ying'er walked into the main hall. Liu Yijin was sitting against a pillar, writing and drawing on the ground, all of which were incomprehensible symbols. Xiang Ling on the side opened her eyes wide with confusion on her face.
Cui Ying'er walked over and looked at what Liu Yijin had drawn, and couldn't help but be stunned: "What is this?"
Liu Yijin smiled and said: Potatoes, sweet potatoes. "
"What's this?"
Liu Yijin said: "Potatoes and sweet potatoes are crops, just like wheat. The yield of these things is higher than that of wheat."
"Next to here are planes, ships, and artillery."
Cui Ying'er didn't understand, so she waved her hand: "Okay, I'll give you a hard time tonight. I'm going to tie you up here and let you go when we get back."
Liu Yijin said: "Maybe you won't see me when you come back, or you may see my body."
Cui Ying'er's eyes were burning.
"Why do you think Cui Biao suddenly invited you to a banquet?"
"Of course it's about the Cui family."
Liu Yijin looked at Cui Ying'er who looked matter-of-fact and sneered: "Are you a pig-brained person? You don't even know how to think about it?"
"Who are you calling a pig?"
Cui Ying'er's sword was directly across Liu Yijin's neck: "Try scolding me again!"
Liu Yijin smiled and swung the long sword away with his fingers: "You are really a dog biting Lu Dongbin."
Seeing that Cui Ying'er was about to run away, Liu Yijin said: "I have already told you that Cui Biao cannot be trusted. If you still don't believe it, tonight's banquet will definitely be a Hongmen Banquet!"
"You mean Miss can't go?"
Liu Yijin shook his head and said, "No, I want to go."
At this time, even Cui Ying'er couldn't help but wonder: "What exactly do you want to say?"
"Although the Hongmen Banquet is not good, if you don't go, how will you know what Cui Biao is doing?"
Cui Ying'er looked at Liu Yijin coldly: "Can you believe what your officials say?"
"Cui Yinger, I have told you many times that it was not me who judged you to be Maitreya Buddhists, but Long Yu. As for the relationship between you and Long Yu, I don't know."
"If you are right, why should I kidnap you!"
Liu Yijin sighed: "You are Green Forest people. The reason why Maitreya Buddhism wants you to join is just to make you cannon fodder. When your value is used up, Maitreya Buddhism will abandon you all!"
"Didn't you say that Cui Biao is determined to follow Maitreya Buddhism?"
Xiang Ling on the side said: "Yes, I heard in the village that Cui Biao has been in contact with Maitreya Buddhism, and now Qingshui County is under martial law again. He is such a cautious person and chose to come at this time, maybe for Meet my eldest lady."
"Martial law?" Liu Yijin was stunned. "When did it happen?"
Cui Ying'er said calmly: "On the second day after you disappeared."
Liu Yijin's mind suddenly became more alive, and all the doubts he had in the past two days were solved.
No wonder Cui Yinger asked him to stay here, no wonder Cui Biao chose this time to enter the city.
"Cui Ying'er, Cui Biao is not here to find you this time, but to meet Maitreya Buddha."
Cui Ying'er was stunned, "What do you mean?"
"All the mysteries lie in Cui Biao. If we make a bold guess, your assassination of Long Yu was so rigorous that someone could have discovered it in advance. Then there is only one possibility: someone leaked your traces!"
"So, you must go to tonight's banquet."
Cui Ying'er paced back and forth in the room, but her eyes stayed on Liu Yijin, "Then tonight, you can follow him."
Liu Yijin was stunned: "Me? Is it appropriate for me to go?"
"Not appropriate, but just put on makeup."
Seeing Liu Yijin's troubled face, Cui Ying'er said coldly: "Liu Yijin, although there is a misunderstanding between us, my second uncle's death has something to do with you. If you are sensible, just cooperate obediently." , otherwise, it wouldn’t be difficult to kill one more of you.”
