"Duan Chengtian, Duan Chengtian, where is Duan Chengtian? Ask him to come see me!"
Back at the camp, Li Xingyun was looking for Duan Chengtian, filled with evil spirits.
He wanted to know what happened to those people on King Yu's ancient city wall tonight. They were obviously not a small number. Why did Yelu Yaoguang wantonly arrest people and he didn't receive any news?
What on earth does Duan Chengtian do with a bunch of bad guys?
Fengdu, who returned to the camp shortly after, was a little confused about what happened to His Highness in the ancient city of King Yu that caused His usually kind-hearted Highness to be so rude, but he did not dare to get into trouble at this juncture. Let’s talk about it after the whole day comes.
All the way back to his main camp, Li Xingyun sat on the top position with a golden sword, his whole body was filled with evil spirits, and the temperature around him dropped at least several degrees. If he approached him rashly, he would be unprepared. It will inevitably give you a shiver.
His handsome face was full of anger, and his eyes, surrounded by a circle of golden light, were extremely cold. He did not look at anyone in the tent, but just stared quietly at the entrance of the tent in front of him.
I don't know if it was due to his identity or Li Xingyun's already terrifying aura, but an inexplicable power permeated the entire camp.
Li Xingyun sat there without saying a word. The tent with a large number of people suddenly became silent, and even the slightest breathing seemed extremely heavy.
The people in the camp looked at me and I looked at you. They were really out of breath and didn't dare to breathe. They also didn't expect that His Highness, who usually had no airs, would become so angry when he got angry.
When footsteps were heard outside the camp, all the generals in the camp cast hopeful glances at the door of the camp, as if as long as those footsteps appeared inside the camp, their long suffering would be relieved.
But in fact, not much time has passed, but the people in the camp just feel that the days are like years, and they are counting their breaths, including Fengdu.
Duan Chengtian opened the door curtain and walked into the tent. Feeling the extremely oppressive atmosphere in the tent, his heart suddenly thumped and he felt something bad.
He didn't have time to think too much, and he didn't care about his shoulder that was bleeding all the time. He bent his knees, knelt on the ground with a "Peng" sound, bowed his head and said, "The bad guy is so fast that he can reach the sky, please see your highness!"
"When did Yelu Yaoguang arrest people on a large scale? Why didn't you report such a big thing? There were such big flaws in the intelligence of a single army. What do you do for food?"
Li Xingyun stared at Duan Chengtian coldly and asked sternly.
To him, Yelu Yaoguang was just a whetstone prepared for him by his senior brother to promote his growth.
Letting Yelu Yaoguang go north with the Longquan treasure and confronting him along the way was just for the purpose of training troops.
He could accept the loss of the Fengdu Ghost Riders along the way, and even the occasional common people involved along the way. These were troubled times after all, and this was a war after all. How could people not die?
But if it was because of his mistakes or the mistakes of his people, thousands of innocent people were involved, and piles of corpses were burned to the ground.
He, Li Xingyun, can't accept it!
This is the source of his anger!
Feeling the terrifying pressure sweeping over Li Xingyun, Duan Chengtian felt that the air around him was stagnant, as if he was under water, and it was very difficult to breathe.
Kneeling on the ground, Duan Chengtian suddenly felt like he was facing the commander directly.
No, no, not the handsome man!
It was the dragon-robed figure that he had seen from a distance when he was young. He could not feel the feeling of hundreds of officials prostrate on the ground.
Now, he really felt it.
"Huh~"
Taking a deep breath, Duan Chengtian said word by word: "Your Highness, the Khitan army to which Yelu Yaoguang belongs has not arrested people on a large scale!"
"Haha, then tell me, what are the thousands of people trembling in fear that the Khitan barbarians fell on the wall of King Yu's ancient city tonight? Could it be that they Khitan people are pretending to be?"
Li Xingyun sneered, raised his finger and pointed in the direction of King Yu's ancient city, and asked loudly.
"They are refugees. This evening, Yelu Yaoguang just arrived in Xia County and received a large number of refugees!"
Duan Chengtian replied quickly, fearing that his answer would be delayed and his Highness would be cut off by him who was angry.
Although His Highness has never had a precedent of beheading someone in anger, Duan Chengtian, who has heard many legends about being with the emperor like a tiger, is still a little afraid that he will become such a precedent.
"Refugees? Where do these refugees come from?"
A flash of doubt flashed in Li Xingyun's cold eyes. The Khitan army violently attacked the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun. There were indeed many refugees from the north going south.
But Taiyuan is still standing there, even though Taiyuan is threatened by the eyeing Khitans and dare not accept the refugees. There are so many prefectures and counties below Taiyuan. How can the refugees leave the near and seek the far away, crossing hundreds or thousands of miles to come to Xia County? Where to come from?
"Your Highness, when Yelu Yaoguang went south earlier, he drove them to Xia County in advance under the guise of plundering grain and grass."
Duan Chengtian let the sweat droplets on his forehead slide over the corners of his eyes, making them itch slightly, but he said an extremely shocking news.
To be honest, when he heard the news before, he felt a little unbelievable. If this is the case, it means that Yelu Yaoguang started his layout when he went south. The reason why he chose The purpose of taking this route to Xia County is to receive this group of refugees.
When Li Xingyun heard this, he was slightly stunned. The anger on his face dissipated and he fell into deep thought.
Messages flashed through his mind, and he quickly remembered the message he had received when his seriously injured junior sister and Xue'er were resisting Feng Xiang. It was about Yelu Yaoguang's looting along the way when he went south, but the message was not marked at the time. It was important news and was only reported as daily news. In addition, he was anxious at the time and did not take it to heart, so he ignored it.
"Then when Yelu Yaoguang took in the refugees, why didn't you report them in time?"
Gradually understanding the whole story, Li Xingyun's tone has become much calmer, and he cannot blame others for things that he himself did not notice.
"The Khitan masters took action, and all the twenty-four bad guys who were monitoring the movements of Yelu Yaoguang's Khitan army were killed. If his subordinates hadn't gone to investigate in person, His Highness would not be able to know the reason at this moment!"
As Li Xingyun's tone softened, the pressure Duan Chengtian felt was also reduced a lot. He just breathed a sigh of relief, but when he mentioned the twenty-four bad guys who died, he couldn't help but look sad.
After listening to Duan Chengtian's words and noticing the injury on Duan Chengtian's shoulder, Li Xingyun suddenly realized.
It wasn't that Duan Chengtian's intelligence work wasn't good enough, but that he, as the top decision-maker, still underestimated Yelu Yaoguang.
Yelu Yaoguang is an extremely terrifying opponent!
It’s not without reason that senior brother chose him to be his whetstone!
