It was windy and snowing outside, and Kedun's camp was brightly lit. Five thousand Turkic cavalry and one thousand cavalry under Luo Yi were waiting in full force, confronting tens of thousands of Khitan cavalry on the opposite side. The atmosphere was tense and the situation was about to break out.

In Kedun's den, the leaders of the eight Khitan tribes headed by the alliance leader Duro, as well as some nobles, were detained here, which is also the direct reason for the confrontation between the two sides.

At this time, Ke Dun looked cold and sat on the main seat with a stern look. The female Khitan assassin who was captured alive was dead because of his severe injury, and his cold body was lying there.

The Khitan female assassin was briefly interrogated before her death. Although she could not find out anything, judging from the language she used, the Khitan female assassin was actually not a Khitan, but a Goguryeo. Judging from her appearance characteristics, this point also confirms this. That is to say, this assassination against Ke Dun was related to Goguryeo, so the nature of the matter became even more serious!

Duluo, the leader of the Eight Khitan Alliance, said with a serious expression: "Dear Ke Dun, Duluo dares to swear to the sky. These assassins have nothing to do with us. Please be aware of the silence of the empress Ke Dun."

Salargentutun sneered, "You have prepared the singing and dancing. The assassin hides among the Khitan women who are performing the dance. He dares to say that it has nothing to do with you. I think it is because you colluded with the Goguryeo people to try to assassinate Kedun, and you should be beheaded immediately and show them to the public!"

The chiefs and nobles of the eight Khitan tribes were so scared that their faces looked like earth. They knelt on the ground and shouted for justice. Princess Yicheng still had a cold look and nodded to Luo Yi. The latter turned around and came out of the den, and soon led a team of Sui soldiers in. These Sui soldiers were holding a wooden box in their hands and placed them all in front of the Khitan nobles.

Duluo, Ge Luolu and others couldn't help but look at each other. At this time, the Sui soldiers had already opened the wooden boxes, and the inside was filled with heads, which were the heads of the Khitan cavalry that had been chasing Gongsun Yingxiu's group of Khitan cavalry.

The Khitan chiefs and nobles present were shocked, and the chief Motus of the Duhuo tribe was even more scared and trembled.

Ke Dun said coldly: "If you have any of these heads, come out and claim them yourself."

Everyone looked at Motu, the chief of the Duhuo tribe, who stood up tremblingly: "Hui Kedun, these are all people from my Duhuo tribe. I don't know where I violated the Great Sui tribe and were actually killed by the Great Sui soldiers!"

Luo Yi sneered: "These people plundered and hunted down Gongsun's convoy in my Great Sui Liucheng County, and were killed on the spot by us. Since you admit that you are from your tribe, that's the best. But Empress Dun, I thought that the Duhuo tribe colluded with Goguryeo people to assassinate you very much, so I should arrest everyone in the Duhuo tribe immediately to find out the truth."

Ke Dun nodded and said, "It should be true. Duluo, you are the leader of the Eight Khitan Alliance and have always been loyal to the Sui Dynasty and the Turks. The Ai family believes that you are innocent, and even most of the people present are innocent, but there must be people with ill-belief. The Ai family will not blame any loyal minister or let any traitor go, so as long as you are innocent, you don't have to worry."

It is obvious that Princess Yicheng did not want to resist the major attack, which triggered a full-scale conflict. Although the Khitans were very weak, the Khitans were still superior in their troops. If they really fought, they would definitely suffer a loss.

Speaking of which, the reason why Duluo, Geluo and others "fall" Ke Dun before was only because of the secret instructions of the Turkish Shibi Khan. If they really wanted to assassinate Ke Dun, they didn't have the courage to do so. After all, the Great Sui Dynasty has gathered heavy troops on the western front line of Liao, not far from the Khitan. If they angered Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, they might not attack Goguryeo and directly rushed north to destroy the Khitan.

So now Ke Dun was down the ladder, and Duro immediately climbed down the ladder, saying that he would do his best to find out the truth. The chiefs and nobles of other tribes also expressed their support. Only Motu, the chief of the Duhuo tribe, fell softly and cried and said, "My Queen, Motu, is unjust, Motu has not sent anyone to intercept Gongsun, and he dare not assassinate you."

At this moment, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves outside. Everyone in the tent changed their faces. They thought that the two sides facing each other had started fighting, but strangely, there was no sound of shouting and fighting. Moreover, the sound of horse hooves gradually disappeared from near to far away.

Just when everyone was puzzled, a Turkic soldier came in to report: "Reported to Kedun, the troops of the Duhuo tribe suddenly retreated in the snow."

Motu, the chief of the Duhuo tribe, was stunned for a moment, and then cursed: "Sulle, you bastard killed me!"

Sule was Motuo's younger brother and had great prestige in the Duhuo tribe, so there was no one else who could take the Duhuo tribe away at this time. It was obvious that Sule must be related to assassination, otherwise he would not have been afraid of leaving his chief brother and fleeing with his tribe members.

"Ke Dun, the garrison where the Duhuo tribe grazed borders Goguryeo. Sule must have surrendered to Goguryeo. His subordinates asked to lead two thousand cavalry to chase him and capture him." Sha Meilu said in a murderous manner.

Princess Yicheng nodded and said, "Go quickly, I dare to resist, and kill me!"

Shameilu immediately ordered two thousand Turkic cavalry and chased the escaped Duhuo tribe in the snow.

Since the traitor had been found out, Princess Yicheng used Huairou to appease the leaders and nobles of the other seven Khitan tribes and released them on the spot. Even Motu, the chief of the Duhuo tribe, was temporarily placed under house arrest and promised that as long as it was confirmed later that Motuo did not participate in the assassination, he would let him go and let him continue to serve as the chief of the Duhuo tribe.

Princess Yicheng's actions not only successfully resolved the tense conflict between the two sides, but also won the favor of chiefs and nobles of various tribes. From this point of view, this woman was indeed very skilled in establishing a firm foothold in the Turks and winning a high prestige.

Let’s talk about Gao Bufan and Yu Guluo hiding from the wind and snow in the cave, and returned to the camp the next afternoon. The latter went to Ke Dun to report his life, while Gao Bufan returned to his tent.

Cui Hu and Gao Shixiong were worried all night, but when they saw Gao Bufan come back, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Boss Changqing, you haven't returned for a day and a night, so you're worried about us!" Gao Shiheng said.

"No, my second brother and I went up the mountain for a night, and we thought you were just burping!" Gao Shixiong said.

"The dog can't spit out ivory!" Gao Bufan was both angry and a little moved, because Gao Shiheng's eyes were covered with bloodshot, and it was obvious that he had not slept all night.

"Changqing and General Yu have caught up with those two killers? They haven't returned for a day and a night, but what accident happened?" Cui Hu asked with concern.

Gao Bufan nodded and said, "I caught up with you, but the owner of Jinghua Shuiyue Tower suddenly came out, and Senior Jae Xiaheyu almost lost his life."

Cui Hu's expression changed drastically and she blurted out: "Mirror Flower Water Moon Tower?"

Gao Bufan nodded and said, "Brother Cui also knows the Mirror Flower Water Moon Tower?"

Cui Hu said with a serious expression: "The Flower in the Mirror, the Moon in the Water, the Killer Group of Mirror Flower Shuiyue Tower has become famous all over the world in the early years, and even the emperor dared to assassinate it. How could I not know? It is said that the master of Mirror Flower Shuiyue Tower's martial arts are superb. It is a blessing in disgrace to Changqing's ability to escape under his hands."

Gao Bufan shrugged and said, "The man was wearing a golden ghost mask. Senior Yu was not sure that he was the owner of the Jinghua Shuiyue Tower. This person's martial arts skills are of course extremely high, but I think it is not as scary as the legendary one."

Cui Hu nodded after hearing this, "It is said that this poster of Mirror Flower Shuiyue is very mysterious. No one knows his true identity. Maybe you meet not the real master."

"By the way, didn't you capture a female assassin alive? Did you question anything?" Gao Bufan asked.

Cui Hu smiled bitterly and said, "I am qualified to participate in the interrogation, but according to Governor Luo, the female assassin was actually a Goguryeo. In this way, the assassin was actually planned by the Goguryeo. The killer of the Mirror Flower Shuiyue Tower was also invited by the Goguryeo, with the purpose of destroying the relationship between the Khitan and the Great Sui Dynasty."

Gao Bufan nodded after hearing this, "It is possible, but the Goguryeo people can invite the killer of the Mirror Flower Water Moon Tower?"

Cui Huqi said: "Why can't it? As long as the Guard can afford the price, anyone who can kill Jinghua Shuiyuelou, including the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty."

Gao Shixiong said, "It's so lawless, oh by the way, everyone came last night, hehe, it seems that everyone in Gongsun is very concerned about Boss Changqing."

Gao Bufan felt aroused in his heart and asked casually: "When did she come?"

"I just got into the dark not long ago. Later, my second brother and I were worried that we could not go down the mountain and searched. This morning, Gongsun everyone asked the maid to come and ask with a sword." Gao Shixiong replied.

Cui Hu joked: "It seems that Gongsun is really concerned about Changqing. Since Changqing is back, he should come to report his safety."

Gao Bufan felt something strange when he heard this. At this moment, Luo Yi walked over in the snow, his face was pale, and his whole body was tightly wrapped, obviously due to internal injuries.

"I've seen Governor Luo!" Gao Bufan said with his fists.

Luo Yi smiled and said caringly: "Brother Gao is back safely, it's a pleasure to congratulate me. I heard that you met the owner of the Jinghua Shuiyue Tower. How about you? How are you hurt?"

Gao Bufan smiled and said, "I was hit by a palm and suffered some internal injuries, and it was not serious."

Luo Yi raised his thumbs up and said, "I didn't expect that Brother Gao was so skillful in his martial arts. He could jump around with his palm and even had the strength to counterattack and injured the other party. When General Yu talked about the scene at that time in front of Ke Dun just now, he couldn't help but feel sweating."

Gao Bufan smiled faintly and said, "It's just a lucky person!"
