Chapter 669 Li Yihuan comes to the rescue
When Emperor Liao Zuo saw that everyone had left, he turned around and went to a bedroom in the backyard of the palace.
The whole room was still filled with the smell of desire.
There were many strange and bizarre things in the bedroom, including a reclining chair, hanging ribbons, and even the tiger bench and shackles used in the prison to interrogate prisoners.
"My darlings, I'm here!" Emperor Zuo of Liao looked obscene and lewd, and shouted impatiently inside.
Following his call, more than a dozen naked beautiful ladies came out one after another.
Emperor Tianzuo was overjoyed and went among the women, like a bunch of flowers, grabbing one with the left and pinching one with the right. His wanton laughter echoed in the hall.
Yelu Lingxiao hurried back to his mansion, and his two sons who had been waiting at home immediately came to greet him.
The eldest son, Yelu Chufeng, hurriedly asked, "Father, why did His Majesty summon you?"
Yelu Lingxiao walked to the main seat and sat down, recounting what had happened today.
The second son, Yelu Chuyun, said angrily, "I've said it before, the emperor is unreliable. First he dismissed my father from office, and now he wants to come because he needs him. He only promised to reinstate my father. Who cares?"
Yelu Chufeng agreed with this and said, "Father, Yelu Xiong and Yelu Hong are not good people. You have completely offended them today. They will definitely make a big move next time. We must be on guard!"
Yelu Lingxiao nodded and said seriously, "Don't worry about this. I know what I'm doing."
"The hunting competition in three days will be a perfect opportunity. Your Majesty will take action against Yelu Xiong and Yelu Hong at that time. What we need to do is to seize the opportunity to annex their armies. As long as we have the army, no one will dare to disrespect us."
Yelu Chuyun said with some worry, "I'm afraid that if Your Majesty doesn't kill them, it could cause the Liao Dynasty to split apart and go into civil war. If that happens, the consequences will be disastrous!"
Yelu Lingxiao smiled confidently and said, "Don't worry about that. His Majesty has entrusted me with the task of rounding up those who are plotting regicide and treason."
"This time we must prove their guilt. Given your Majesty's cowardly and violent character, he will definitely kill them. Then we will be able to control their army."
"I have worked so hard for so many years, how can I allow myself to be manipulated by the emperor?"
As he spoke, he glanced at his two sons and whispered, "Feng'er, secretly send more people to closely monitor Yelu Xiong and Yelu Hong's every move and collect evidence of their crimes."
"Yun'er, from now on, keep a close eye on their families and clansmen. Three days later, if the emperor takes action, capture their families and clansmen and seize the opportunity to annex their army."
"Yes!" the two brothers answered in unison.
As the sun was setting, Yelu Lingxiao's convoy left the Xiao family mansion.
In the Xiao family mansion, Xiao Kangla glanced at Xiao Fengxian and said thoughtfully, "Second brother, our brother-in-law is very ambitious!"
Xiao Fengxian smiled faintly and said, "Brother, no matter what, we are a family. His Majesty's actions were indeed inappropriate. He did not take our Xiao family seriously at all, nor did he give my niece, the Queen, any face."
"So, our brother-in-law has a lot of resentment in his heart, which is also human nature."
"But then again, if Ling Xiao doesn't fight for it, it's our fault for misjudging him. Now that he wants to fight for it, we, as his brothers, must support him. Otherwise, it will be difficult for our sister to get through!"
Xiao Kangla nodded and said in a deep voice, "Okay, I'll send someone to the palace later and ask my daughter, the queen, to persuade His Majesty."
Xiao Fengxian took this very seriously. He stood up and said, "Brother, I have to get ready too!"
Yelu Lingxiao sat on his tall horse, thinking carefully about the conversation he had just had with the Xiao brothers, and muttered to himself, "I hope these two brothers won't let me down!"
Suddenly, a whistle broke the silence of the sky, and then countless men in black appeared on the eaves on both sides.
Before Yelu Lingxiao's guards could react, a rain of arrows came towards them from the sky. The guards around him were shot down one after another, and screams were heard.
"Protect the adults!" someone shouted.
A group of infantry and cavalry hurriedly gathered towards Yelu Lingxiao.
At this moment, countless masked men in black rushed out from the alleys on both sides, rushed into the guards, raised their swords and killed everyone.
The incident happened suddenly. Although Yelu Lingxiao's guards fought desperately, they could not withstand the sudden assassination of the man in black. In a blink of an eye, the guard team was scattered.
At this moment, Yelu Lingxiao was in a critical situation, but he did not dare to move forward rashly.
Several men in black quickly rushed to Yelu Lingxiao's horse. Yelu Lingxiao drew his sword and chopped down the leading man in black.
The men in black behind him immediately squatted down and swung their swords to cut off the horses' legs.
The tall horse let out a mournful cry and fell forward, instantly throwing Yelu Lingxiao out.
Then the men in black rushed up and tried to take Yelu Lingxiao's life.
The guards were very anxious when they saw this, but they had no way to escape.
Just as Yelu Lingxiao was about to die, several sharp arrows suddenly flew over and shot down the men in black who were surrounding and trying to kill Yelu Lingxiao.
Yelu Lingxiao was shocked. He looked in the direction the arrow came from and saw that the person standing not far away was Li Yihuan. Only then did he feel relieved.
The archers of the men in black also discovered Li Yihuan and turned around to shoot at him. Unexpectedly, this man was agile and immediately jumped off the eaves, and all the arrows shot at him hit the roof tiles.
With the cover of the house, Li Yihuan dodged the shooting of the archers on the roof while shooting the archers on the roof. Screams were heard, and men in black were seen falling from the roof one by one.
A few who were still alive jumped off the roof to escape.
In less than half a cup of tea, all the twenty or so black-clad archers on the roof were eliminated by Li Yihuan.
Li Yihuan climbed onto the roof and continued shooting at the men in black on the ground from a high vantage point. His sharp arrows turned into meteors and never missed their targets. Countless men in black were shot to the ground.
The situation suddenly reversed, and the guards began to fight back, killing the men in black and forcing them to flee in panic.
Those men in black who did not escape were either killed or captured.
Yelu Lingxiao put the scimitar back into the scabbard and performed a Liao people's chest-pressing salute to Li Yihuan on the roof.
Li Yihuan jumped down from the roof, came to Yelu Lingxiao, and whispered, "This is not the place to talk. Someone will be coming soon. Clean up the battlefield quickly, especially those arrows. They can't fall into the hands of others."
Yelu Lingxiao nodded slightly, quickly called his personal guards over, and whispered a few instructions to them.
At this time, hurried footsteps were heard at the end of the street, and a group of city defense soldiers appeared and were rushing towards this side.
Yelu Lingxiao ignored the city defense soldiers and led Li Yihuan towards the mansion.
