Yelu Yaoguang seemed to be starving. He left the wall with his back, sat up straight in front of Li Xingyun, grabbed the wine bottle, picked up the large piece of mutton and started eating.
He has led troops in battles for many years. He has never experienced any kind of harsh environment or eaten any disgusting food. Naturally, he is not really a picky eater.
He just wanted to meet Li Xingyun. He and Ao Gu could be said to be extremely important bargaining chips in Li Xingyun's hands. Naturally, Li Xingyun could not sit back and watch him die on hunger strike.
Although Yelu Yaoguang looked rough when eating, he ate extremely delicately, chewing carefully and swallowing the wine.
Li Xingyun was not in a hurry, and just watched Yelu Yaoguang eating quietly. Since Yelu Yaoguang was now willing to eat, it meant that Yelu Yaoguang's previous hunger strike was just to see him.
Besides, since Yelu Yaoguang's hands and feet are not tied, if he really wants to die, wouldn't it be easy?
After a long time, Yelu Yaoguang was full of wine and meat, wiped his greasy mouth casually on his dirty clothes, and said his first words.
"How about Khitan?"
"Your father is dead, and I am negotiating with your mother."
Li Xingyun opened the second layer of the food box and took out two more bottles of wine. He handed one to Yelu Yaoguang, and he also picked up the other and poured wine into his mouth.
Although he spoke calmly, he was actually quite shocked when he learned the news. He really didn't expect that Yuan Tiangang would actually kill Yelu Abaoji.
Although it is said that the thief must be captured first, this is how he should use a powerful weapon like Yuan Tiangang. This can significantly weaken the Khitan and reduce many unnecessary casualties.
But this is too much of an understatement!
Of course, simple assassination is not enough to disintegrate the Khitan.
The rise of the Khitans is a general trend, just like the general trend of the Central Plains that if they are divided for a long time, they will unite and unite for a long time. In every troubled time, all kinds of heroes will emerge, and the same is true for the Khitans.
Blindly assassinating will only cause two results.
Either it will fail, or it will become stronger in times of crisis.
In Li Xingyun's view, the latter was more likely, so he never thought of letting Yuan Tiangang carry out the assassination.
What he wants is to conquer the Khitans. What he wants is to make the Khitans respect him like a god and fear him like Yama.
"Ahem!"
I thought about it a lot, but I forgot that the liquor I prepared on the second level was strong liquor.
The spicy taste entered his throat, choking him and causing him to cough violently.
Yelu Yaoguang glanced at Li Xingyun, curled the corner of his mouth slightly with disdain on his face, took the wine bottle and took a big sip.
"Cough cough cough cough!"
Damn, you were so careless!
Yeluyao hunched over, put his hands on the ground and coughed violently, his face flushed.
I don't know if the wine was too strong, or if he was blushing because of his disdain for Li Xingyun, but he looked even worse than Li Xingyun.
"Hahaha!"
Seeing Yelu Yaoguang's appearance, Li Xingyun, who had recovered, burst into laughter: "The wine from the Central Plains is not so delicious!"
"Ahem, it doesn't taste good, but as long as you swallow it, you'll get drunk at most."
Yelu Yaoguang felt relieved and said.
"That's true, but I put it in your mouth so you can eat it, otherwise you wouldn't have this chance!"
Li Xingyun nodded and did not refute Yelu Yaoguang's statement, but added another sentence.
However, it is unclear whether he is talking about wine or something else.
"Really? Then I have to thank you!"
Yelu Yaoguang's face gradually recovered, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly, whether it was ridicule or disdain.
"No need to thank you. Since I can let you eat it, I can naturally let you spit it out!"
Li Xingyun shook his head gently, but did not want to continue on this topic and asked: "You don't seem to be surprised by the death of your father Khan?"
"This was part of our original plan. From the very beginning, Father Khan decided to trade his own life for the possibility of Khitan taking over the Central Plains!"
Yelu Yaoguang spoke calmly, but his eyes were a little wandering, and the focus was slightly blurred. He recalled the secret conversation he had with his father Khan to finalize the plan before leading his army south. The majestic figure of his father Khan was still in front of him.
"What's the explanation?"
When Li Xingyun heard this, he was a little confused. What does it mean to exchange Yelu Abaoji's life for the possibility of a Khitan taking over the Central Plains?
Did this mean that Yuan Tiangang's assassination was discovered in advance?
Then he tried his best, but was still killed by Yuan Tiangang?
Yelu Yaoguang's thoughts were brought back to reality by Li Xingyun's words. He glanced at Li Xingyun, moved his body back, and leaned against the wall slumped: "It's very simple, kill you and get rid of the bad guy!"
"kill me?"
Li Xingyun was stunned for a moment, and the circle of golden light in his eyes turned slightly. All the previous events flashed through his mind. With Yelu Yaoguang's reason, everything seemed to become reasonable.
Why did the Khitan let Yelu Yaoguang, the general, lead his army south to seize the Longquan treasure that was most likely to have been captured first when the Sixteenth State of Yanyun was not yet stable?
Just the spy who escaped?
Just relying on a few words from Shi Jingtang?
This is unrealistic and extremely unreasonable. This is not a decision that a person like Yelu Abaoji can make.
But if its ultimate purpose is to lure him into taking the bait and ambush him in Jinzhong, then it would be much more reasonable.
Otherwise, there would be no masters like Yelu Zhiwu secretly accompanying him.
To be honest, if it hadn't been for the timely rescue of Li Xian, a cheap brother, and Li Maozhen, he and Fengdu Ghost Cavalry would probably have died there in that battle in Jinzhong.
Thinking of this, Li Xingyun couldn't help but feel scared for a while. He came back to his senses and looked at Yelu Yaoguang: "You guys are really thinking carefully!"
Yelu Yaoguang's sharp eyes like eagle eyes stared at Li Xingyun: "It's a pity that I still missed you by one move and couldn't kill you!"
"Hmm~ It's true to say that a move is only one move away. When you think you see the overall situation clearly and launch a precise plan, you don't know that what you see may be just what someone wants you to see?"
After Li Xingyun pondered for a while, he smiled and said.
He felt that he was simply over-worrying just now. The timely appearance of Li Maozhen and Li Xian showed that his senior brother had already seen through all this. How could his senior brother let anything happen to him?
"Yes! Father Khan and I both underestimated the bad handsome man. How can an old monster who has lived for more than three hundred years be seen through by mortals like us!"
Yelu Yaoguang raised his head and looked at the ceiling of the cell. He no longer had the high spirits of the past, but was instead filled with helplessness and decadence.
After hearing this, Li Xingyun knew that there was no need to stay any longer, so he stood up and walked out of the cell.
Yelu Yaoguang has only seen Yuan Tiangang so far, but he has not noticed the existence of his senior brother. He doesn't know whether to feel pity or sadness for him...
