Chapter 151: Assassination of Deguang

When the soldiers saw Liang Hairong returning safely, they immediately surrounded him and asked, "Young Master is back, have you ever encountered any trouble?" Liang Hairong said, "Liu Yanzuo did not notice it." Those people said, "That's good. The young master's outstanding light skills are incomparable to ordinary people, so naturally there will be no problem."

Liang Hairong smiled and said, "Dear brothers, you have been too rewarded. This time Hairong went to the governor's mansion and found that Liu Yanzuo and Zhao Yanshou were conspiring in the mansion. He thought that the matter of recovering the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun still needs to be discussed."

The soldiers said one after another: "These two treacherous ministers and thieves first betrayed the Tang Dynasty, but now they are against our Jin State, which is really despicable. Since the two thieves are all here, why don't we attack and kill them?"

Liang Hairong shook his head and said, "You must not. Yingzhou Governor's Mansion has many guards. It's not easy to get rid of them just by us? Please remember that my father sent us here to find out the news. Don't reveal clues and destroy my father's plan."

The soldiers said ashamedly: "Young Master is thoughtful, but we have missed the important matters of the garrison."

Liang Hairong smiled and said, "Don't blame yourself, brothers." He paused for a while and said, "Now that the governor's mansion has been there, we have to go to the Khitan camp next, where there are heavy troops to guard it. Brothers should be more careful."

Everyone received the order and went to the camp of the Khitan army. They were not familiar with the terrain and missed the front camp of the Khitan and happened to arrive at the temporary garrison of the Khitan Emperor.

Liang Hairong overheard the dialogue between the king and the ministers between Yelu Deguang and Lu Wanli, and realized that the Khitan emperor was interested in withdrawing his troops. He was extremely surprised at this time and wanted to return to Jizhou immediately and report this important information to his father, asking him to persuade Du Chongwei to wait for the Khitan army to withdraw back to the capital before sending troops to recover the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun.

However, man's calculations are not as good as God's calculations. Yelu Deguang just decided to withdraw his troops and return to Shangjing, and Zhao Yanshou returned to the Khitan camp and told Yelu Deguang about his conspiracy with Liu Yanzuo. After hearing this, Yelu Deguang was very happy and immediately changed his mind. He also praised the Han Privy Councilor.

In order to please his master, Zhao Yanshou offered another suggestion, and asked the Khitan army to deliberately retreat to the place where Yingzhou and Mozhou were connected to lure Jin soldiers into Yingzhou and annihilated them in one fell swoop.

Liang Hairong was extremely angry about this and thought to himself: "Capture the king first. If you can kill Yelu Deguang, the Khitan will be in chaos. If you can even break me into pieces, you will be willing to do anything."

Liang Hairong had already put his life and death aside at this time, and he had made up his mind. He quickly flew into the tent and rushed to Yelu Deguang. Yelu Deguang did not expect anyone to come to assassinate him, and in a hurry, he overturned the desk before him to resist. Liang Hairong waved his sword and split the desk into several pieces.

Although Zhao Yanshou was a Privy Councilor, he did not know martial arts. Seeing this, he was shocked and hurriedly shouted: "Come here, someone will assassinate the emperor." The Khitan soldiers outside the tent heard the fighting sounds inside the house, shouted for help while rushing into the tent with their knives.

Liang Hairong knew that there was not much time, so he lifted Zhao Yanshou out of the tent with one palm, just knocking over the soldier who rushed to the front. When Liang Hairong turned around and looked again, Yelu Deguang had disappeared without a trace. A Khitan guard surrounded him, holding two giant maces in his hand. This person was He Liantian.

Lu Wanli went to each battalion to transmit imperial edicts. Hu Pingqiu and Xi Shuishen were leading the imperial guards to patrol around the king's camp. At this time, only He Liantian was not far outside the tent. He heard Zhao Yanshou's shouting in the tent and knew that something was wrong, so he immediately rushed to investigate.

Seeing this man’s strange appearance, Liang Hairong asked loudly: “Where have you hidden Yelu Deguang? Call him out quickly.”

Although He Liantian was a Khitan, he had been with Lu Wanli for a long time and knew a little about Chinese. At this time, he heard Liang Hairong's words. Instead of answering, he asked the people and said, "Who are you? Come quickly to name me, He will not kill the nameless junior."

Liang Hairong was willing to tell the truth, and before he could answer, he waved his sword to stab the other party. He Liantian saw that this man had a unique move. Thinking that he could create the forbidden land, his martial arts and courage should not be underestimated, so he came out with both maces, grabbed the long sword suddenly, then took the air with his feet and kicked Liang Hairong's chest and abdomen.

Liang Hairong didn't have time to withdraw the sword in his hand, then let go of his right hand, raised his palm to block the attacking feet, and realized that the other party had enough internal strength, so he spread his wings and took a few steps back and said, "Your martial arts are extraordinary, it seems that I can't escape the disaster."

He Liantian took the long sword, looked carefully, and said loudly: "Your weapon is in my hands. If you can tell who sent you to assassinate, He may leave you a complete body."

Liang Hairong was about to fight to the death when he suddenly heard the sound of swords and swords around the camp. When the Jin soldiers lurking in the camp saw that Liang Hairong was trapped, they hurried to rescue them and then met with the Khitan soldiers.

Since Liang Hairong and others were exposed, if they were entangled with Khitan soldiers again, they would only increase casualties. Liang Hairong looked around the tent and did not find Yelu Deguang's figure, so he had to evacuate regretfully. He held the log in the tent with one hand, climbed up to the top of the tent with a whoosh, and disappeared without a trace.

He Liantian watched the other party escape, but did not rush out to chase him. He turned around and walked behind a barrier in the tent, invited Yelu Deguang, who was silent, and bowed and replied, "Your Majesty, I have failed to capture the assassin. I deserve to die. Please punish me!"

Yelu Deguang was still in shock and waved his hand and said, "Love, fortunately you can come in time, otherwise my life will be difficult to save." He listened for a while and asked again, "Do you know who is coming?"

He Liantian remembered the constant intrigue of the Khitan royal family. He didn't know who was sent by the person, so he said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the identity of the assassin has not been found yet, so I dare not infer it casually."

Yelu Deguang nodded and said thoughtfully: "No matter who the assassin is, be sure to eliminate the roots and must not let them leave Yingzhou." After He Liantian received the order, he asked a thousand households to lead the cavalry to chase him.

Liang Hairong and others fought hard outside Yelu Deguang's camp, shouting for several miles. After about one stick of incense, they finally killed the Khitan soldiers. Liang Hairong counted the names of the people around him and found that most of the people had lost, only seven or eight people. At this time, the Khitan cavalry came chasing him, and Liang Hairong and others had to flee in a hurry again.
