"Your Majesty's kindness, we will never forget it in this life. Wherever we are useful in the future, we will repay Your Majesty wholeheartedly!"

Wu Tian waved his hand to signal them to back down.

That night, when the saint was waiting for Wu Tian to sleep, Mu Guiying came in and said to the saint in a low voice: "Fourth sister, I just saw a few figures in a daze outside the courtyard. Today, I heard the three traitors say The Blood Knife Gate comes and goes without a trace, could it be them?"

Just as he was talking, there were slight footsteps outside the door.

Although it is very light, it cannot escape the ears of the saint.

The saint was calm, and said in Mu Guiying's ear: "You are not mistaken, they are here, and they should be running for His Majesty."

"Then we..."

The saint signaled her not to speak, made a seal with her right hand, and knocked at the door.

A seal flew out of the saint's hand, broke through the door, and hit the person who was eavesdropping behind.

He flew out and fell to the yard, spitting blood.

At this moment, Yang Xiong, Shi Xiu and Hua Rong, the guards in the courtyard, led dozens of inner guards and rushed out, captured the man, and escorted him to see Wu Tian.

Wu Tian also woke up at this time and walked out of the bedroom.

"Your Majesty, a thief has been caught."

Wu Tian took a torch to shine on the man. He was bald, wearing a mud-yellow monk's robe, with a knife embroidered under the robe.

"Are you from the Blood Knife Gate of the Western Regions?"

The man looked slightly surprised, subconsciously said: "How do you know?"

"Sure enough, it's from the Blood Knife Sect. Tell me, did Brother Yeluxiu send you here to assassinate me? How many of you came here in total? Where are the rest now?"

The Blood Knife Monk clenched his lips and remained silent.

"Don't tell?" Wu Tian smiled coldly, "You think that if you don't tell me, I can't do anything about you?"

The blood knife monk remained silent.

Wu Tian frowned slightly, these people are really stubborn.

"Okay, very good. Yang Xiong, take him down and interrogate him until he is willing to speak."

Yang Xiong stepped forward to arrest someone.

The blood knife monk suddenly bit his tongue and fell to the ground dead.

"Your Majesty, this..."

Looking at the dead body on the ground, Wu Tian frowned even deeper.

This conquest of the Liao Kingdom is indeed very difficult.

"The body was dragged down and cremated."

Wu Tian dropped these words and turned back.

The next day, the army continued to set off, leaving Yanmen Pass and entering the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.

The first stop is Bazhou.

Chapter 268 Blood Sword Ancestor

The army was walking on the road, and Dai Zong came running from the front and entered Wu Tian's carriage to report.

"Your Majesty, I have already investigated the matter of the Blood Knife Sect. About a month ago, the Blood Knife Sect was recruited by Brother Yeluxiu and joined the banner of Brother Yeluxiu."

"Accept?"

Dai Zongdao: "Due to the gradual expansion of the Xuedao Sect in the Western Regions, the countries in the Western Regions are becoming more and more dissatisfied with them, especially Zangbu, the leader of the Tubo Kingdom. The sect of the Xuedao Sect is in the Xueshan Mountain, which is also the holy place of Tubo. Zangbu once sent people to follow the Xuedaomen. The head of the sect—the ancestor of the Xuedao sect negotiated and asked the ancestor's sect to move away from the snow mountain and find another place to settle in Tubo. He also promised that the Xuedao sect would get a lot of money from the Tubo kingdom every year in the future."

"The ancestor of Xuedao was unwilling to leave the snow mountain, not only rejected Zangbo's suggestion, but also killed the envoy sent by Zangbo."

"Zangbu got angry and dispatched all the horses and horses in Tubo, a total of [-] troops to attack the Xuedaomen. The Xuedaomen couldn't stay in the snow-capped mountains, so they migrated and entered the Liao Kingdom from the Silk Road. Brother Yeluxiu learned about it and recruited them. Serve for the banner. Brother Yeluxiu wants Xuedaomen to deal with us, the advantage is that after conquering us, he will lead the army to help Xuedaomen retake the Snow Mountain and destroy Tubo."

Wu Tian nodded slightly after hearing this.

"In addition, the prime minister sent Du Ping and Song Wan to escort the catapults and crossbows, which have already reached the front of the army, for the purpose of recovering the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun."

Wu Tian is happy, with these two brothers, there will be less trouble in attacking the city.

……

In Youzhou City, Brother Yeluxiu was discussing matters with Emperor Song at Shuaiying.

"Marshal Yelu, you said that you want to help me regain the country. I believe in you, but it has been almost a month since you sent troops from Liaodu. You have been staying in Youzhou City. Wutian has already killed the sixteen states of Yanyun. , Bazhou is almost unbearable."

Emperor Song shouted angrily.

Brother Yeluxiu felt resentful in his heart, but he still had a smile on his face, and said, "Your Majesty Song Emperor, don't be impatient. This commander knows that Wu Tian led the army to kill the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, and I have already made full preparations. This time he came, he was asking for his own death."

Just as he was talking, the soldiers came in and bowed their hands to brother Yeluxiu: "Marshal, the ancestor of the blood knife has returned, and he brought a chief named King Mulu."

"Invite them in."

"Yes!"

The soldiers went out, and two people came in after a while.The bald man on the left and the mud-colored monk's robe is Patriarch Xuedao, the one on the right wears a hat made of tiger bones and wears tiger skin, and the thin man is King Mulu.

"The two of you have worked hard all the way, and the commander-in-chief couldn't go out to greet you in person. I hope you don't take offense."

Brother Yeluxiu bowed his hands to Patriarch Xuedao and King Mulu.

Patriarch Xuedao and King Mulu returned the salute.

"When I learned that the Central Plains sent troops to attack the Liao Kingdom, I rushed back from Annan immediately. On the way, I met King Mulu. This King Mulu is the leader of the barbarian tribe in Annan. Although he is located in a barbaric land, he has a very powerful Taoism, as long as he rings the bell, he can drive tigers and leopards to attack the enemy as an army."

Brother Yeluxiu was overjoyed.

"Unexpectedly, King Mulu has such powerful Taoism. With him, Wu Tian will be dead this time."

"One more thing. When I went to Annan, I sent my first disciple Bao Xiang to sneak into the Central Plains to assassinate Wu Tian. Is there any news?"

Brother Yeluxiu sighed slightly, and said: "This morning, my commander got the news that Bao Xiang was captured by Wu Tian's people. In order not to insult Xuedaomen, Bao Xiang bit off his own tongue and died."

Hearing this, the blood knife patriarch gasped and remained silent.

Although he has killed countless people, Baoxiang is his eldest disciple, and he will inherit the mantle of Xuedaomen in the future.
