Li Sizhao hummed an untuned little song and walked through the camp gate. He was wearing a steel plate armor, with a silk cloak covering his face. His short figure and ferocious iron armor had a kind of disorderly harmony. When he saw Li Keyong sitting by the stove, his steps stopped and became motionless. "Sir!" he said in surprise, almost screaming, mixed with an incredible tone, and perhaps there was a slight sense of joy or fear.

"So you are still me? I thought you had forgotten me long ago."

"It's great to see you so healthy and strong." Li Sizhao's heartbeat was accelerating, and Li Keyong suddenly appeared in his tent. This was not a dream, but it was even more absurd than dreams. "But I admit, I never thought I would see you here at all. Where are you at this time? There have been rumors outside that you have already..."

"Rumored that I died in Weizhou long ago? Was it?" Li Keyong came when Li Sizhao went to Zheng Cong-chi's central army camp to attend the military meeting. Li Cunzhang had already won a group of people. He entered Li Sizhao's tent as if he had entered a no-man. Li Sizhao's arrogance was loyal and tried to stop Li Cunzhang from coming in with him. As a result, with Li Keyong waved his hand, they all fell in his own pool of blood at the door. "I also hope to find a secret communication between you and Li Jing here, see what you said to Li Jing, and he promised to reward you with what kind of kindness, but he did not find a piece of paper."

He firmly believed that Li Sizhao had betrayed him and reached an ulterior motive with Li Jing, and he betrayed himself for his current title and official position. Therefore, as soon as he came in, he searched through Li Sizhao's tent, but found nothing. This disappointed him. He hoped to find the evidence. In this way, he would not hesitate to execute the adopted son who betrayed him directly. But he found nothing, which confused him. Could it be that he was wrongly blamed him?

"Your handsome tent is very simple. When I came, I thought you must live in a golden tent, and there were even many beauties in the tent!"

"The adults reminded me that drinking is easy to make things happen, but since then, I have never drunk it. As for women, this is the military. As the commander, how can women hide in the commander's tent?"

"I thought you had changed."

"I am me, I was like this before, but I am still like this now. Sir, are you angry at me? Are you angry for giving Yizhou to Li Jing?"

"Shouldn't I be angry? For Yizhou, I sent troops twice, lost twice, and the last time, even I died in the ambush by Li Jing."

"Give up Yizhou not to win Li Jing's favor, nor to seek refuge with him. King Jin, you should know the situation at that time. We were trapped in Yizhou almost at the end of our lives, and we continued to stick to it. It would only cause tens of thousands of good men in Shatu to death." He sighed, "There are lands that have lost people, and both people and lands are lost. People who have lost lands, and both people and lands are saved."

Li Ke rubbed the scar on his face angrily, "I remember this sentence was said by Li Jing. It seems that you respect Li Jing very much, and even remember his words so clearly. Next, are you planning to worship Li Jing as your adopted father? Si Zhao, oh, no. Li Jing does not accept adopted sons, maybe you can be his fourteenth disciple. Or, you have to tell me that you are actually Li Jing's fourteenth disciple?" He smiled, "I trust you a lot, but how do you repay me? Before I die, you gave Yizhou to Li Jing. Tell me, are you really going to compete with Li Siyuan for the position of King Shatuo?"

"No, sir. I have never thought of this. Even Miao Jilie would be very happy if he knew that sir was still alive and would immediately return the military power to sir."

"Do I believe you for this?" Li Siyuan was his most trusted adopted son, but during his disappearance, he reached an agreement with his enemy Li Jing and gave his children to Li Jing. Even during this period, Li Keyong heard a secret rumor that Li Siyuan had been secretly admiring his wife Liu, and some even said that they had an affair. This rumor made Li Keyong very angry. It turned out that he would never believe such rumors. However, Li Keyong, who had just returned from Yanjing, was a little suspicious of this. Less than half a year after he was "dead", Liu was already with Li Jing and was pregnant, which shows that Liu was not as loyal as he had imagined before. Even if Liu and Li Siyuan did not have a real inconsistency, they were really close to each other. At least, Li Siyuan might really have a love for Liu.

Liu is his wife, and Li Sizhao is his adopted son. When he thinks about the possible things they may have, he feels disgusted and angry. Li Siyuan even covets his wife, what else can't do?

"Sir, you should believe us. After you disappear, there will be no leader in the group of dragons. If Siyuan had not been appointed to the crisis and was about to turn the tide, the Shatuo clan might not be able to protect it, and it is even more impossible for him to control the lands of Daibei now."

Damn guy, Li Keyong thought, "I seem to remember that Li Siyuan is now the Prince of Yanmen, the governor of Yanmen, and the commander of Shatuo. Why didn't he directly call Shatuo King?"

"Indeed, I also accepted the titles of Datong Army Jiedu, Datong County Prince, and Shatuo Grand Governor. But this does not mean anything. We are loyal to the Lord and accept these things entirely for the entire Shatuo clan."

"It's a pity that I'm not dead. I think now, your titles of prince, military commander, and commander can no longer be retained. Would you be reluctant to leave?"

"Ah, of course." Li Sizhao immediately said solemnly, "It was just to save the situation and he had to reach an agreement with Li Jing. That was just a temporary solution. Now that the adults have returned, Shatuo will naturally be led by you. As long as you are here, we don't have to be afraid of Li Jing anymore. As long as you can continue to follow the adults, such as the title of Prince, the position of governor, and the title of Grand Commander, all this is irrelevant. Shatuo needs you, in fact, Shatuo is facing a split at the moment, but I am weak and have no prestige to prevent these. It's good that you come back. As long as you show up, whether it's the soldiers of Yanmen or the soldiers of Yizhou, they will gather in your command again. Revitalize us Shatuo."

The two Shatu forces represented by Li Sizhao and Li Siyuan are now brewing an internal strife. Li Keyong has known it for a long time. Whether it is Li Siyuan or Li Sizhao, they are still too young and have too shallow qualifications. The domineering Shatuo generals all want to make the contribution of Dai Li Xinshatuo King. Anyway, if they succeed, they will be promoted and made a fortune. If they fail, the victorious side will not dare to do anything to them. Instead, they will be promoted and made a fortune to appease them. Since they are promoted and made a fortune no matter what, only Li Siyuan and Li Sizhao need to take risks. Why are they not enthusiastic? This is the same thing. The soldiers of the vassal states of the Tang Dynasty like this, and they often support the generals to rebel against the Jieshen, and even the generals support the Jieshen and rebel against the imperial court. This is also very familiar to Shatuo people now.

"I understand that although I have to use it, the soldiers below may not completely obey you." He couldn't help but chuckled, "Now you should understand. It's not that easy to be King Shatu."

"We are both too young, whether it is me or Siyuan." Li Sizhao nodded and admitted. "If you don't show up, Shatuo may be divided from now on. Fortunately, lord is still alive."

Liu Yunniang used to sleep with him, but now there are rumors of her and Li Siyuan's relationship. She was captured by Li Jing and became Li Jing's woman in less than half a year, pregnant with his child. This woman was once the person he loved and trusted the most, but she betrayed herself so easily. Even she couldn't believe her. Can he still trust Li Sizhao and Li Siyuan?

"What the wolf pack needs is a wolf king to command them, not two little wolf cubs. If it takes a few more years, you may be qualified, but now you are still too young." Li Keyong sneered coldly.

"You will always be our wolf king, and this will never change."

"Yes, I am the wolf king. You shouldn't have exposed your ambition to be the wolf king so early." Li Keyong said sharply.

"I am willing to prove my loyalty to the adults with practical actions." Li Sizhao pressed his hand on his chest and said excitedly: "From now on, all the command power will be handed over to the adults."

"I don't need you to give it to me again." Li Keyong sneered again. In his opinion, this statement was just a pretending gesture after Li Sizhao knew that the situation was irreversible, and wanted to deceive him into asking for his trust. Unfortunately, he would not trust anyone easily. "I have taken it back to me."

"Sir, my loyalty to you is understandable!" Li Sizhao said loudly, with a sense of sadness in his tone. He was loyal to Shatuo and loyal to King Jin, but in the end he was full of doubts and speculation. After Li Keyong disappeared, some subordinates advised him to make his own use of this, and even let him compete with Li Siyuan for the throne of Shatuo. But he refused because he was not a person who was keen on power. But he did not expect that he was so loyal to King Jin, but the King Jin did not believe him at all.

"I'm not here to listen to you to show your loyalty. How much does it cost per pound?" Li Keyong sneered, unmoved at all.

"Sir, can I pour tea for you?" Li Sizhao picked up the teapot.

"No need." Li Keyong folded his hands together, "I'm here to give you a chance to confess. Tell me that you betrayed my trust!"

"No, I am loyal to the adults and have never betrayed the adults."

Even if you persist so much, will I believe it? Li Keyong shook his head. No matter what Li Sizhao said, he would not believe it anymore.

Li Keyun shook his head in disappointment and stood up.

"grown ups!"

"There is only one chance, I have given you. But you have missed it, which is a pity. Si Zhao, you used to be a good child and a brave general. Originally, you had the opportunity to become a general in one side and stand alone. Now, I will leave you a bit of decency. In a while, Cunzhang will give you a pot of wine, your favorite Wuliangye, you used to be."

"It's a poisonous bar!" Li Sizhao said with a tragic smile.
