Figaro shook his head and said: "Li Dong was very careful when he did this, and he didn't leave any tail, we also learned from the mouths of some mercenaries by chance that someone was deliberately hoarding food, and later we conducted a secret investigation on the people mentioned by the mercenaries, and found that they had some dealings with Li Dong, so there was such a speculation." ”

"Then why doesn't Your Majesty know such a thing, if someone hoards food on a large scale, my father should be able to detect it. Thea wondered.

Figaro said: "It may have something to do with the way they stocked grain, in order to avoid being discovered by the Empire, the people involved in the stockpiling will send people to scatter the grain, and each person will hoard only a few hundred stones of grain in each place, and only a few dozen stones, so that it will not attract the attention of the Empire too much." ”

"Not only that, but among the imperial officials, there are many who are under the orders of Lidong, and when investigating the matter of storing grain, they are contrary to the yang and yin, and they do not report it, and Your Majesty naturally does not know what happened to the people. Nien added.

Thea nodded, secretly thinking that the power controlled by Li Dong was already so huge, of course, she didn't fully accept the words of Figaro and the others, after all, all she knew so far was hearsay.

Later, Thea asked some details about the grain from Dongtun, so she asked Figaro, Crow and others to go down to rest first, and then Thea called the master in and asked him to send someone to send the news back to the empire and put it in the hands of Pickett.

After doing this, Xiya was also about to go back to the room to rest, and at this moment, the air fluctuated slightly, and Xiao Yu's figure appeared in front of Xiya.

"Husband!" Seeing Xiao Yu's arrival, Xiya's face showed joy, like a bird throwing herself into Xiao Yu's arms.

Xiao Yu stroked Thea's back and said with a smile: "But you haven't seen you for two days, do you miss me like this?"

"I hate it!" Thea blushed and sneered, but she didn't come out of Xiao Yu's arms.

The two lingered for a while, and they were reluctant to separate.

Xiao Yu looked at Xiya and said, "I heard that you took the initiative to ask Ying to lead the troops to the front line?"

Thea nodded and said, "Well, the empire is in danger, and as an imperial princess, I have this obligation. Speaking of this, Xiya looked at Xiao Yu with some apprehension and said, "Husband, will you blame me?"

Xiao Yu said with a straight face: "How can you not blame you? You are pregnant now, how can you work so hard?"

Thea said: "Thea naturally knows, so I don't want to be a front-line general, but just a temporary prison on the battlefield, in the words of the earth, it is a flag, which plays a role in boosting morale." ”

"Even so, I think you are also an idle person, and if the battlefield changes, it will be difficult to protect

You're not going to get involved?" Xiao Yu reproached softly.

Xiya didn't refute, it was indeed as Xiao Yu said, if she encountered such a situation, she would definitely not stand idly by.

Xiao Yu looked at Xiya's appearance, shook his head and said, "I know that I can't stop your decision, after all, the current Tobia is your empire." Speaking of this, Xiao Yu muttered in a low voice: "If I had known, I wouldn't have pushed Pickett to the throne of God, and if I had chosen someone else at random, I wouldn't have had such trouble." ”

"Don't worry about the husband, how can Thea have the blessing of the husband?"

"Okay!I'll order someone to protect you, just treat it as a game!" Xiao Yu smiled helplessly.

Thea smiled slightly, her heart extremely warm.

"But I can't let my mother know about this, or I'll be scolded again. Xiao Yu said depressedly.

"It worries my mother. Thea reproached herself.

Xiao Yu glanced at Xiya and said, "I know you're still messing around like this." ”

Thea spit out her tongue embarrassedly, completely looking like a little girl, her appearance, only Xiao Yu was fortunate to see her.

After that, Xiao Yu and Xiya had a chat, and they didn't see each other for two days, and they seemed to have accumulated a lot of words in their hearts.

"By the way, husband, there's one more thing I need your help with. While talking and laughing, Thea suddenly remembered what happened to Maeve and said to Xiao Yu.

"What's the matter?" Xiao Yu asked strangely.

Thea told Xiao Yu about Maeve, Xiao Yu heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, when he rescued Crow, he knew Maeve, but at that time, Crow thought that Maeve was buried in the mouth of the monster, and Xiao Yu didn't know Maeve's face, so he didn't search, but he didn't want to be captured by the Lidong faction.

"You want me to bring Maeve back?" Xiao Yu said.

Thea said: "Well~ Looking at Crow's appearance, he already has a deep affection for Maeve, if Maeve is still alive, he can also fulfill Crow's wish, and if Maeve is dead, he can also let Crow be buried with his own hands." ”

Xiao Yu nodded and said, "Okay, then you wait for me, I'll come when I go." ”

As he spoke, Xiao Yu kissed Xiya lightly on the forehead, and then his figure disappeared.

After a tragic war, the Dong army finally reoccupied the city, but now the city is full of ruins, and there are few people left in the city, the streets have been dyed dark red with dried blood, swords, guns and sword marks are crisscrossed, and the miserable scene is chilling.

After being simply repaired, in the city lord's mansion, sit on a high seat away from Dong Niutian,

Listen to the debriefings of your subordinates.

"Tell the prince, general, that the troops and horses sent from the east and west have arrived in Dumo City. ”

"Well, let's go down!" Li Dong waved his hand to let his subordinates leave, and then turned to Niu Tianfeng and said, "General Niu, the soldiers and horses have arrived, it seems that we have to leave." ”

Niu Tianfeng said with a smile: "In the troubled times, clutch is impermanent, although you and I run to things, but the heart is the empire, and it is not a difference." ”

Li Dong said: "The general is right. ”

Niu Tianfeng smiled and said, "Even so, then I'll go and straighten out the soldiers and horses first, and prepare to rush to the Imperial Beast Pass." ”

"Won't the general wait for Princess Thea?" asked Lidong.

Niu Tianfeng said: "I have made an appointment with Princess Xiya to meet in Lin Lan City. ”

Li Dong said: "I see. ”

Farewell to the cow.

Looking at Niu Tianfeng's departing figure, Lidong's smile faded, his face was calm, and he didn't know what to think.

At this moment, the air trembled, and Xiao Yu walked out of the air and looked at Li Dong with a calm face.

When Li Dong saw Xiao Yu, his face changed slightly, and then he said respectfully with a smile: "The national teacher is coming, and he is not welcomed." ”

"No need to talk nonsense. Xiao Yu waved his hand and said with a cold face: "Where is Maeve?"

Hearing Xiao Yu mention Maeve, Li Dong was shocked, and pretended to be calm: "I don't know-"

Li Dong's words had just been exported, Xiao Yu waved his hand, and a force hit Li Dong's body, and he immediately flew away from Dong.

"I said, don't talk nonsense!" Xiao Yu's face was cold, if it weren't for the fear that killing Li Dong would make Xiya worry more about the affairs of the empire, Li Dong was already a corpse at this time.

Li Dong struggled to stand up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, lowered his head and said, "Maeve is in Dumo City, I have ordered someone to go there the night before, and take her-"

Li Dong didn't dare to say anything about sending someone to kill Maeve, he was worried that Xiao Yu would kill him mercilessly if he found out.

"Hmph!" Xiao Yu snorted heavily, stepped out, appeared in front of Li Dong in an instant, grabbed Li Dong's collar, and teleported to Dumo City with him.

In an underground secret room in Dumo City, under the dim candle flame, several corpses were scattered all over the place, deep knife marks embedded in the body, and viscous blood flowed everywhere.

"What's going on?" said several people as they rushed into the chamber and looked at the corpses in the chamber in exclamation.

Yesterday, after receiving the order to leave Dong, he sent his most powerful assistant to bring someone to deal with Maeve because he was playing with a beautiful woman, but when he arrived here after a while, he only found the body lying on the ground, and the woman who had been imprisoned and tortured by them for half a month was gone.

"Go find her, get that woman back, or you'll lose my head." The leader said angrily.
