Chapter 32
Under the watchful eyes of all the ministers, the Empress Dowager Shulu took a jar of wine and two wine bowls from her attendants, and filled them up respectively:

"My son Dejin, today the queen mother apologizes to you in front of all the ministers, and promises that you will return to the government from now on."

"If Khan is willing to let go, he will drink my bowl of wine for apology."

She walked down the steps slowly, and handed the bowl of wine to Yelu Dejin.

"Mother."

Even though she is already an emperor, she is still her biological mother after all.

The crime of killing the king was born out of nothing, how could he have the heart to kill them all!
The young new king of Liao Dan took the wine bowl and drank it down in one gulp:

"Mother, what happened yesterday was probably a misunderstanding. From now on, my son will definitely do his best, internally and externally, and come back with a great victory in Pingzhou!"

Hearing this, the Empress Dowager Shulu sighed, and brought another bowl of wine.

"My mother almost died when she gave birth to you. Khan should help me drink this kind of strong wine."

"Mother."

Yelude felt that the crime in his heart was getting deeper. At this moment, several old officials staggered to their knees:

"The empress dowager assisted the two khans successively, unified the eight tribes of the Liao and Dan, and only then has the prosperity today—since it was a misunderstanding, please continue to assist the empress dowager!"

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone followed suit, even those who wavered did not dare not kneel down.

For a while, the words "Please continue to assist the Queen Mother" lingered in the palace, and Yelude suddenly realized that he had fallen into this bitter trick.

But the words had already been spoken, and there was no room for maneuver, Yelude gritted his back teeth and had no choice but to say "my son will leave" and fled away.

Hearing about the changes in the palace, Li Qianyin had a clear demeanor.

"Khan is affectionate and righteous, and it's not unexpected that he can be handled so well by the Queen Mother Shulu."

This time, he was invited by Lu Wenyong, the governor of Pingzhou, to discuss peace talks in Pingzhou.

Because Yelude ignored Li Qianyin's repeated entrustment, he suffered a great loss from the Queen Mother, and now he can't do it even if he doesn't trust her anymore.

"Cough" he became anxious, and coughed violently in a hurry, "You don't know, my father said that when my mother gave birth to me, she almost died and suffered a great crime. The grace of nurturing me is unforgettable. I can't bear it."

"Khan doesn't have to be so excited."

She sat on the horse and glanced at him.

The handsome and burly young new king immediately realized that she was referring to his own cough, and couldn't help but feel a little hot.

"Nowadays the world is in chaos, not to mention those in high positions, even among ordinary people, there are even those who abandon their children and daughters for a living, and there are even those cannibals who are devoid of conscience - Khan should be careful."

Her words were as cold as ice, and it was chilling to hear.

"Ben Khan thanked Miss Qianyin for reminding her that even though the mother made a mistake first, Ben Khan would not make things difficult for her. It would be good to arrange a place for her to take care of her when things are done."

"whatever."

Li Qianyin didn't want to talk to him, so she put her legs on the horse's belly and accelerated to the front.

"Oh, one more thing, Khan, don't forget—" She turned her head and looked at him, "Even if that Li Hefeng with a brilliant tongue wants to promote peace talks today, this Pingzhou will either surrender or perish."

"Khan led an army of tens of thousands to stand outside Pingzhou City. Are you trying to negotiate peace, or are you threatening?"

Li Heyan took the lead, and the thin and straight middle-aged man behind him must be Lu Wenyong, the envoy of Lulong Jiedu in Pingzhou.

"If peace talks fail, it is naturally a threat."

In the same way, before Yelude could speak, Li Qianyin took a step forward and confronted Li Heyan.

"Oh? It's you again—the ex-wife of this king," he narrowed his eyes slightly, "I've been away for a few days, how is my wife?"

Li Qianyin ignored the sarcasm in his words, and turned to Yelu Dejin:

"Khan, so this is the way of hospitality in Pingzhou, I think it's better to forget it."

"Miss Li misunderstood." Lu Wenyong, who was following behind him, took a few steps forward, "His Royal Highness Yi Wang will prepare delicious food and wine for the two of you, and hope that the soldiers of Liao Dan will wait longer outside the city."

"It's okay, they can go to Beicheng to repair." Yelu Dejin just finished speaking, and saw Lu Wenyong's face turned pale instantly, and his fists were clenched.

"This king's banquet with Khan is to continue to discuss the peace talks, and to celebrate the smooth cooperation of the previous few days. Although Khan himself screwed up, the sincerity of our cooperation is also worth celebrating. .”

During the banquet, Li Heyan sat at the top of the hall, leaning on his seat, pouring a glass of wine, looking like a dandy.

"Your Highness is right. If Pingzhou is willing to surrender and join hands with Liao Dan, we can lay the foundation of eternal invincibility—and Ben Khan will treat the people of Pingzhou well, just like Beicheng. Please let Lord Lu make a choice."

Yelude cupped his hands, with a righteous look on his face.

"Beicheng? Khan really doesn't feel pain in his back while standing up and talking. After you Liaodan entered Beicheng, you burned, killed and looted, and drove the people of my Beicheng to nowhere to escape. Now it's your own Liaodan barbarians, and you still say that you treat the people well ?”

It was Lu Wenyong's eldest son Lu Lun who spoke.

"Don't be rude."

Everyone could hear that Lu Wenyong deliberately waited until the eldest son had finished speaking before yelling out unhurriedly, and thinking that Lu Lun was highly valued by his father, they couldn't help looking at Lu Wenyong a little more inquiringly.

"Those are all brothers who fought with my father and king since childhood. They don't understand Wenli history books at all. It is indeed the fault of this Khan for doing such inferior things."

Yelude's tone is sincere.

"This must be the eldest son of Master Lu's family. Although you have no blood relationship with my sister, you should call me uncle in terms of seniority."

"Only peace talks, no surrender."

Lu Wen interrupted Yelu Dejin's reminiscence with words, with a firm tone:

"Does Khan really think that everyone in the world just wants to survive and abandon the roots of the nation?"

"Lord Lu's words are wrong. Now the world is in chaos, starvation is everywhere, and the territory of the Central Plains has been disintegrated for more than [-] years. Is it possible that Lord Lu is in a high position, just because of this so-called root, and he doesn't care about the lives of the people? "

Yelude sneered, "What's more, why didn't Pingzhou abandon the Central Plains? The emperor of the Central Plains is eyeing him. In the current situation, what is the difference between Pingzhou surrendering and not surrendering? Lord Lu, please think again."

"Snapped--"

The man in black who had been taciturn in the hall put the cup in his hand heavily on the table.

Everyone looked over in unison.

"Huh? Khan said it wonderfully, why don't you continue?"

He raised his eyes slightly, his posture cold.

After calling back all the attendants, his eyes swept over the faces of everyone in the hall:
"Khan knows, Liao Dan Faping, what is it for?"

"Naturally, it is to expand the territory and lay the foundation."

"Ha" as if he heard a big joke, Li Heyan clapped his hands and laughed, "Okay, since that's the case, I'll make a bet with Khan—if Khan can't get out of this door today, Khan can guess, What's going on out there?"

"Khan!"

At this moment, a soldier from Liao Dan rushed into the hall regardless of the guards outside the gate.

Under everyone's gaze, the man leaned into Khan's ear and hurriedly said:

"Khan, all the food and grass for the horses in our army camp were destroyed, and the army rushed back to support but was ambushed on the way."

"Even the soldiers of the northern city were surrounded and trapped in the city, firing arrows at random."

"Liao Dan, defeated."
