Yelu Qi looked up at Li Ye, drank another bowl of wine, and said with a wry smile: "I know I can't convince you. I just came here to have a drink with you."

"I know!" Li Ye looked at him quietly, as if he admired a resentful woman looking at the door.

"Starting from tomorrow, we are enemies. How should I treat you?" Yeluqi looked at the imperial advisor who had just turned sixteen in front of him and couldn't help but sigh again and again.

As God's will brings about, two people who could have been friends end up facing each other through life and death.

Li Ye looked at him and grinned: "Don't worry, I'm afraid of death and won't charge into battle."

Yelu Qi was stunned. He didn't expect that Li Ye would respond to him like this. He couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Actually, I'm also very afraid of death. I'll try not to confront you head-on."

"I think so too. If you can't move your hands, it's best not to move them. Let's just talk and have a glass of wine!" Li Ye looked at him and laughed.

Yeluqi nodded and said with a wry smile: "That's good. No matter who wins or loses, we must live well."

Li Ye couldn't help but feel touched when he heard the words, and reached out to hold his hand that continued to pour wine: "We all need to live well!"

"We all need to live well!" Yeluqi nodded vigorously.

...

The two people in the tent were cherishing each other, but the eldest prince and Yang Kaiyi on the tower were anxious.

"Isn't this Imperial Master acting recklessly? There is no reason for a general to go and drink with the enemy." Yang Kaiyi paced around anxiously.

Nalanyu looked at the anxious two people and comforted him with a smile: "I heard from the Imperial Preceptor that the person coming across the street is named Yeluqi. Last year, the Imperial Preceptor invited him to drink a pot of tea in front of Xichun City. He is

I’m here to return a favor!”

"Is this the son of Yelu Chucai from the Royal Court of Yelu?" the eldest prince looked at Nalan Yu and asked.

Nalan Yu nodded.

"Why did these two guys start a relationship and become friends?" The eldest prince looked down in disbelief.

"He didn't let me go with him at that time. It was Mu Mu who went with him. You have to ask her to know about this." Nalan Yu looked down at the two people outside the moat and laughed.

"This...is this driver too courageous? How could it be possible for me to drink tea and chat with the opponent's general?" Li Kaiyi said while rubbing his hands.

Even Wei Qingyu, who was standing behind the eldest prince, covered her mouth. Such secrets were something they could only know in the imperial city. Even the general marshal of the dynasty in front of them didn't know about it.

"Isn't this Imperial Master a bit too aggressive?" Yang Kaiyi murmured.

"Wait a little longer and see what news the Imperial Master can bring back." The eldest prince said in a deep voice.

...

"The war will begin after tomorrow. I hope you can leave Nanyun City and not go to war. After all, this time the Khans of the four major tribes have personally joined the expedition." Yeluqi looked at Li Ye with red eyes and said seriously.

Li Ye stood up after hearing this and thanked him.

"Brother, please don't worry, we are taking care of our bodies." Li Ye really felt Yeluqi's true feelings this time.

Yeluqi shook his head and sighed: "Starting tomorrow, you will know that the prairie cavalry are not so easy to mess with."

When Li Ye heard this, he felt unhappy. He looked at him and replied sternly: "Brother Yelu, I have something to tell you. I hope you can tell your sister and King Yelu Khan."

"How do you say that?" Yeluqi was stunned.

"If we fight back, I hope you can take your sister back to Xichun. After all, I don't want to collect my brother's body in front of Nanyun City!" Li Ye said coldly without any emotion.

"Can you defeat us? Where do you get the confidence? You know..." Yeluqi, who almost spilled the beans, stopped his voice.

"Whether you believe it or not, I, Li Ye, never do anything I'm not sure about. You've already experienced this."

Li Ye knew he couldn't tell him anything, so he could only emphasize again and again that naturally he couldn't tell him his trump card.

Both of them are playing dumb,

Both of them are worried about each other.

Yeluqi thought to himself, do you know our trump card?

Li Yexin said, do you understand how many mass graves I dug in these ten miles of wasteland?

The two stayed for an hour and drank a jar of kumiss. Li Ye waved his hand and said, "I'm drunk, so I won't send you back!"

Yeluqi looked at Li Ye who was staggering out of the tent, shook his head, and shouted: "If we are still alive after this battle, you will be my brother Yeluqi!"

Li Ye waved his hand to him and replied vaguely: "You have been my brother, Li Ye, for a long time. Otherwise, I would not let you go in Xichun City!"

Looking at Li Ye walking onto the trestle, Yeluqi felt dizzy and slumped down on the soft chair.

"You have been my brother, Li Ye, for a long time. Otherwise, I would not let you go in Xichun City!"

These words were like thunder, hitting his head heavily.

He finally understood why Li Ye chose to leave quietly despite being able to injure countless enemies under Xichun City.

So, have you considered me a brother for a long time?

Yeluqi, who was slumped on the soft chair, laughed wildly regardless of his appearance.

...

Li Ye staggered across the moat. As soon as he entered the city gate, he was hugged by the eldest prince. He reached out and held his wrist. He pondered for a long time before saying to Nalan Yu: "It's okay. I just drank too much."

Already."

Nalan Yu looked at the eldest prince and said, "I will take him back to his residence to rest. The generalissimo will come back in a few hours to have a detailed discussion with the imperial master."

The eldest prince nodded. "Go back and make him a bowl of hangover soup. I think he will drink a lot."

Wei Qingyu stood behind the eldest prince, frowning and said, "I'll go find the carriage."

Yang Kaiyi shook his head and said with a smile: "These two guys are interesting. The battle is about to begin, but the two of them set up a table in front of the battle to drink and talk. In a few years, they will become legends!"

The eldest prince sighed. When he came in, the imperial master told me that we couldn't fight today. Let's go to the tower and have a look.

Yang Kaiyi was stunned and followed him towards the city wall.

After climbing up the tower, the two of them looked up and saw that the tents by the moat had been dispersed, and the place where they had just discussed wine was empty, as if no one had ever been there.

Tens of thousands of prairie cavalry outside the city have also dispersed. Outside Nanyun City, which is flat and flat, it is eerily quiet, and even the birds don't know where they have flown.

"It's really weird, sending tens of thousands of troops just to drink a bottle of wine with the Imperial Master outside the city?" Yang Kaiyi said with a bitter smile.

"Maybe they just want to show off their cavalry?" the eldest prince said with a faint smile.

...

At nightfall, Li Ye finally woke up from his dizziness. He tilted his head and saw Mu Mu staring at him, holding a handful of melon seeds in her hand. The ground was covered with melon seed shells.

"Mumu, what time is it?" Li Ye reached out to lift the quilt and got up from the bed.

"It has just passed the Youshi time. The eldest prince and City Master Yang have been waiting for you in the living room for a long time." Mu Mu replied unhurriedly.

"Come with me to have a look." Li Ye put on his shoes and opened the door.

Mu Mu followed behind and gently tugged at the corner of his clothes: "Last time you went to see him alone, and this time again, can you call me next time? My parents asked me to protect you."

Mu Mu was very angry. When she got the news, Nalan Yu and Wei Qingyu had already sent the drunk Li Ye back, and she was so angry that she stamped her feet.

"Today was an accident. I didn't know they would come suddenly." Li Ye smiled bitterly, thinking that his drinking capacity was still not good enough.

"I won't do this next time. How about I go back and explain to my parents? And my husband and my wife? And my sister?" Mu Mu followed behind and kept nagging.

"Okay, I'll listen to you from now on, okay?" Li Ye shook his head and walked forward.

"That's pretty much it. You should have been like this a long time ago!" Mu Mu nodded and smiled.

While talking, the two of them entered the living room. The eldest prince and Yang Kaiyi had already had wine and food delivered to them, and they were about to start.

"You guys are here just in time, let's sit down and have a drink together." The eldest prince looked at Li Ye and Mu Mu and said with a smile.

Mu Mu sat next to Li Ye, opposite the eldest prince, and reached out to serve Li Ye a bowl of rice: "Let's eat tonight, don't drink."

Seeing Mu Mu's domineering look, Li Ye was a little moved.

"How is the situation today? Will they take action tomorrow?" Yang Kaiyi looked at Li Ye and asked in a deep voice.

Li Ye shook his head and said, "He didn't say it clearly, but I felt something was wrong."

"How do you say it?" Yang Kaiyi asked in a deep voice.

Li Ye raised his head, glanced at him, and replied quietly: "Listen to his tone, the grassland tribes are well prepared this time, and they are definitely not just attacking the city out of whim, just like I plotted against them last time.

."

Looking at the confused eyes of the two people, Li Ye continued: "Just like me last time, I will not fight an uncertain battle. They are the same this time. He even persuaded me to leave Nanyun City."

"Is it so scary?" The eldest prince frowned.

We are not afraid of the enemy's cruelty, but we are afraid that we know nothing about the enemy's methods and will be beaten to death.

Looking at the gloomy sky outside the house, Li Ye said coldly: "From tomorrow on, I will move to the tower. We will never leave the city to meet the enemy until we understand their intentions!"

"That's right! Never leave the city. The moat has been processed according to your requirements, and we are just waiting for them to attack!" The eldest prince also said coldly.

"We won't leave the city to see what tricks they can play!" Yang Kaiyi said with a smile.

"I also want to live upstairs with my brother!" Mu Mu looked at Li Ye and said firmly.

Li Ye glanced at her, looked at the eldest prince and said: "This time is no better than last time. Everyone must obey the order. What we have to face is the cunning King Khan on the grassland."
