Dongji Imperial Capital, Jingguang, Fangbo Mansion, late at night.

When a group of soldiers in phoenix feather armor saw the man, they all bent down and bowed their heads and got out of the way. The man held a scroll of the latest information in his hand, and his face was flustered. In this world, there are few things that make him feel so flustered, the last time was the Battle of Jingwei Pass, the invasion of the Xiji Eight Pillars, and this time......

The moonlight poured lightly on the glazed tiles, and the black figure quietly moved in the moonlight after the man left, like a ghost, perched on the roof of Fang Bo's mansion, quietly observing all the wind and grass in the mansion.

Even the well-trained Phoenix Feather Armor didn't notice that there was a sneaky figure on the roof at this moment, able to escape the ears of Ning Haochen and many Phoenix Feathers, this person's skills were at least the level of the peak of the ninth order!

At this time, Liang Yi had not yet gone to bed, and was painstakingly studying the most jerky and difficult "divine calculation" among the three "heavenly books" left by Emperor Jiwu in the study.

These three books, known as the "Book of Heaven", were written by Mu Jing, the emperor of the Ji Dynasty, and recorded Mu Jing's heart and virtues in governing the country and peace in the world in this life. The three books are titled "Divine Calculation", "Ghost Scheme", and "Human Game".

"Divine Calculation" tells the story of arranging troops.

"Ghost Scheme" is about the intriguing.

"Human Game" is about insight into human nature.

These three books were specially given to him by Xuanyi Wujian not long ago. Liang Yi didn't know where this old guy got these three books, but Liang Yi understood that this was Xuanyi Wujian courting him. Xuanyi Wujian knew that Liang Yi was an admirer of Emperor Mujing of Jiwu, so he did what he liked. Although Liang Yi has now accepted Xuanyi's innocent things, it does not mean that his intrigue with Xuanyi Wujian in the imperial capital is over.

It can only be said that the struggle between the two ushered in an armistice.

However, these are only temporary.

The ancients often said that one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers. This imperial capital has always been deep, but it can only accommodate a dragon. If there was no Xuanyi who sacrificed his life to protect the former prince, that is, the current son of heaven, the fire of the Tianhuo Tribulation would have turned the entire future of Dongji into a scorched corpse, and he Liang Yi would not have a chance, like now, he can make a cup of tea called "Tie Shiyin", and savor the masterpieces of Emperor Jiwu under the candlelight of the autumn wind and moon shadow.

For Xuanyi Innocent, Liang Yi loves and hates.

He admired this Xuanyi for being able to endure for so many years. Bearing the grief of the demise of the Xuan Kingdom, even if he was castrated by Emperor Ji and reduced from a proton to a palace person, he was still willing to wear linen and filial piety for the Ji Dynasty. At first, Liang Yi didn't understand, until this old eunuch was brought back by Jing Xuan and the Son of Heaven, until the new imperial capital was established, and until the Battle of Jingwei Pass was imminent, Liang Yi found that he had met an opponent.

However, at this time, Liang Yi will soon have more headaches to deal with than Xuanyi Wuji. Xuanyi's timely "show of goodwill" is equivalent to letting him go. And Liang Yi, with the help of this rare moment of respite, was able to lay out the layout for the next story.

In the Fang Bo Mansion late at night, the Phoenix Yu Army, which was on patrol all night, guarded Liang Yi's safety at all times. They walked without any sound, which is the unique effect of the "Phoenix Feather" of Qiguo's escort army, "sound absorption". It is precisely because of this that Qiguo, as the end of the Seven Kingdoms of Dongji, has not dared to provoke anyone for many years. Compared with the killer of Mexico, Qiguo's "Phoenix Feather" is more feared.

Legend has it that when Nangong Liuli, the former lord of Qiguo, succeeded to the throne, more than a dozen vassal countries around him rebelled because they heard that they liked men, and they felt insulted and rebellious. So Nangong Liuli took 40,000 "Phoenix Feathers" overnight to rebel against these more than ten rebels.

After the Ji Dynasty was divided into two Ji countries, there were eight powerful countries in the West and seven in the East Ji, and there were still many small vassal states between countries, and their scale was only at the county and village level.

Nangong Liuli, with these "phoenix feathers", killed more than a dozen small princes who rebelled against him in their sleep one by one overnight, and the world was shocked for a while.

It is often said that when the sword of the phoenix feather is unsheathed, everything is silent. But no one ever saw them draw their swords, perhaps because the people who saw them draw their swords were dead.

After Liang Yi took over the position of the lord of the country from Nangong Liuli, he rarely let these phoenix feathers go to the battlefield, and more often let them take on the duties of guarding and personal guards.

Some people say that Liang Yi is overkill.

In this regard, Liang Yi smiled and said nothing.

......

In the Fang Bo Mansion late at night, Ning Haochen held the latest information from Xiji in his hand, and his expression was in a hurry. According to usual, he would definitely ask Huang Yu Armor to report first, and then meet Liang Yi after obtaining approval, but due to the urgency of the situation, Ning Haochen couldn't take care of it so much.

Fortunately, Liang Yi had already said hello to the soldiers of the Phoenix Feather Armor, if he met Ning Haochen one day and forcibly broke into Fang Bo's Mansion, he would not need to be blocked and let him go directly, otherwise Ning Haochen at this moment would definitely have been taken down by the Phoenix Feathers and escorted to Liang Yi.

When Ning Haochen pushed open the door of Liang Yi's study, Liang Yi was writing down the experience he had just realized after reading the "Divine Calculation". But because of Ning Haochen's push of the door, Liang Yi's thoughts were all confused.

Liang Yi didn't get angry because of this, he indifferently put down the pen in his hand and looked at Ning Haochen, who was sweating profusely: "What kind of wind is blowing our Mr. Ning sweating profusely, and he broke in directly without even knocking on the door?"

Ning Haochen: "Lord, something is wrong!"

Liang Yi was puzzled: "Say." ”

Ning Haochen: "Xiji Thousand Thunder Country invaded. ”

Liang Yi: "Aren't they still assembling north of Jingwei Pass, how to invade, and when to invade? Could it be that they all have wings and suddenly fly over the Juelong Mountain Range and Jingwei Pass?"

Ning Haochen: "The spies came to report that Lei Che, the lord of the Thousand Thunder Country, was personally on the expedition, with 70,000 war bears, 30,000 armor warriors, and hundreds of secret magicians supported by the Heavenly Martial Kingdom, and was trying to open up the Juelong Mountain Range. ”

Liang Yi: "This Lei Che has always been ambitious and heavy-minded. It is really admirable to want to get the practice of penetrating the Juelong Mountain Range. But no matter how powerful he is, it is impossible for him to get through the Juelong Mountain Range so quickly, did the spies say when they started digging?"

Ning Haochen: "I didn't mention it, but my subordinates speculated that it should be shortly after the end of Jingwei Pass! ”

Liang Yi: "That's still too fast. The rock wall of this Juelong Mountain is not something that ordinary swords can break through, and it has only been a long time since the battle of Jingwei Pass, and it has not been two years. Lei Che really wants to dig it up, if there is no special hoe, more than 10,000 tenth-order peak martial artists, there are not more than ten or twenty years, how can they dig and wear?"

Ning Haochen: "The Heavenly Martial Kingdom has forged lava slashers for the soldiers of the Thousand Thunder Kingdom, put lava claws on their armor-piercing war bears, and with the accompanying mystician, most of them have been dug up so far." ”

"Why is such important information only being told to Gu now?" Liang Yi listened, and got up to slap the table. This is the first time that Ning Haochen has been so angry since he saw Liang Yi enter Beijing, "Ning Haochen, don't you want to do it?"

Ning Haochen knelt down on one knee: "Subordinates should be damned!"

Liang Yi saw Ning Haochen kneeling on the ground, turned around and tried to calm his emotions, and after a long time, he asked, "How long do they have to break through this Absolute Dragon Mountain Range?"

Ning Haochen: "In half a month at the earliest, the army of 100,000 Xiji Thousand Thunder Kingdom will appear on our Dongji territory." ”

Liang Yi: "Fifteen days later, 100,000 troops, this time Lei Che is making a bloody investment, what is he going to do, I haven't seen him so desperate in the first battle of Jingweiguan, what made him suddenly become Xiji's humerus?"

Ning Haochen: "Could it be related to Yun Fan's return?"

When Liang Yi turned around, he saw that the cuffs of Ning Haochen's clothes were soaked with sweat, and he couldn't bear it, so he said, "You get up first." ”

The wind in the middle of the night was cold and biting, and the moonlight shone through the window and door of Liang Yi's study, sprinkled in the persistent eyes of the young man in front of him. Ning Haochen waved his hand and thanked him: "No." ”

Liang Yi: "You go on, I want to hear why you think this matter is related to Yun Fan." ”

Ning Haochen: "Now that Yun Fan has returned, bringing back the Chiyan warriors and the remnants of the Sabu Division, he is jealous of the princes of the world, after the Jingwei Pass Alliance, the Mo Kingdom and the Shu Kingdom are at war, and the Dongji countries are either taking advantage of the fire to rob, or watching the fire from the other side, presumably Lei Che has already known about this matter, so Lei Che's intention this time should not be to go straight to the Shu Kingdom." ”

Liang Yi: "During the war between Mexico and the Su Kingdom, do you say that Gu is helping the Shu Kingdom or helping the Mo Kingdom? Or is he taking advantage of the fire to rob, or is he watching the fire from the other side?"

Ning Haochen: "The lord of the country is using his own way to help the country to quell this war that should not happen, although it backfired. ”

Liang Yi: "I want to hear what the world is talking about." ”

Ning Haochen didn't speak.

Since the end of the First Battle of Jingweiguan and Liang Yi was named Uncle Fang, he has never stepped out of the Mansion of Uncle Fang in the imperial capital. Important information was usually told to him by Ning Haochen.

Before tonight, Liang Yi didn't think about what the people of the world would think of him on the issue of the war between the Shu Kingdom and the Mexican State. He wanted to know, because it was a matter of people's hearts, but Ning Haochen was silent.

The night wind stirred Liang Yi's front hair, and he didn't speak.

Ning Haochen's silence made Liang Yi fall into deep thought again.

After a long time, this thoughtful man walked around Ning Haochen with his hands, as if he was torturing a criminal who had committed a heinous crime: "Let's talk about Xiji's problem first, you continue to say that Lei Che's intention is not to come to Shuguo, but it is related to Yun Fan. ”

Ning Haochen: "In Lei Che's opinion, the lord of the country chose to watch the fire from the other side and take advantage of the fire to rob at the same time. Although the lord of the country sent troops to help, because of the time problem, he failed to make the lord feel the importance of the lord of the country, so Lei Che expected that at this time, the country should gradually gap with the countries of Dongji. ”

Liang Yi: "The heart of Yun Ji, the lord of the country, is in Dongji. ”

Ning Haochen: "But Yun Fan's heart is in the country. ”

Liang Yi: "With Yun Fan's character of revenge, when the time is ripe, there will be a war between the country of Shu and Mexico." ”

Between the words, Liang Yi seemed to have thought of something, so he hurriedly came to the desk, took out a detailed map of the cities of the Ji Dynasty, and locked his eyes near Jibei and Jingwei Pass.

Liang Yi hesitated for a moment: "Ning Haochen, come here." ”

Ning Haochen listened, so he hurriedly stood side by side with Liang Yi.

Flickering candles, white moonlight, restless thoughts.

When Ning Haochen's gaze followed Liang Yi's fingertips to lock on the territory of Jingwei Pass and Jibei, Ning Haochen understood Liang Yi's worries: "The lord of the country is worried, Lei Che is planning to take down the three cities of the Mexican Kingdom and occupy the Su Kingdom?"

Liang Yi: "According to your inference, there is no more instigation of hatred than the three cities of Jibei at this moment, if Lei Che takes these three cities as a gift and returns them to the country, then the country of Dongji will be the country of Xiji." The entire north of Jibei will be included in the territory of Xiji. ”

Ning Haochen: "After that, let the Shu Kingdom guard the entrance of Xiji through the Juelong Mountain Range, and make the Shu Kingdom the gatekeeper of the Xiji Dynasty on the territory of Dongji?"

Liang Yi suddenly sneered, and his fingertips fell on the location of Jingwei Pass at the intersection of Dongji and Xiji on the map. His gaze became more and more elusive in the night, in the moonlight.

Ning Haochen looked at Liang Yi in surprise, Liang Yi patted him on the shoulder, turned around and looked into the pool outside the window: "Lei Che may want to use the Su Kingdom in the past, but it is not yet known whether the Shu Kingdom will be at his mercy. ”

Ning Haochen suddenly realized: "In other words, Lei Che took the three cities of Jibei, most likely to block the route of the countries to support Jingwei Pass, so that Jingwei Pass is isolated?"

Liang Yi: "Xiji, several other vassal states, is there anything unusual during this time?"

Ning Haochen: "Except for Tianwu, the rest of the countries are recuperating. ”

Liang Yi: "What is Tianwu Guo doing?" ”

Ning Haochen: "Train armor soldiers and forge swords." ”

Liang Yi frowned: "It turns out that in the battle of Jingwei Pass, the reason why Tianwu Kingdom and Qianlei Kingdom did not use all their strength was to wait for this opportunity, Lei Che and Yun Shu, the two old foxes, were really hidden deep enough." ”

Ning Haochen turned around and sat side by side with Liang Yi, but Liang Yi slowly walked to the pool outside the study at this time and sat on the ground. The deep gaze gradually softens when it touches the koi in this pool.

Ning Haochen: "In other words, this time Lei Che and Tianwu Guo plan to take Jingwei Pass as their ultimate goal?"

Liang Yi: "There is only one Mingyue City left in the current Shuguo, if Lei Che is the main attack on Mingyue City, those Chiyan warriors and barbarians hiding in Mingyue City are not vegetarians, even if it is an army of 100,000, it is impossible to take the last city of this Shuguo without paying a great price." ”

Ning Haochen: "Therefore, Lei Che must first take down the three cities of Dianxing, Yaoguang, and Liuyun, and then try to win over the Su Kingdom to achieve a bloodless blade, and then use the Shu Kingdom as a springboard to take down the entire Dongji!"

Liang Yi: "Actually, whether Lei Che will win over the country is a later story, provided that the three cities of Jibei must be defeated first." ”

Ning Haochen: "My subordinates will arrange it!"

Liang Yi was puzzled: "What arrangement?"

Ning Haochen: "Mobilize Huang Yu to support the Mexican country." ”

Liang Yi smiled: "Ning Haochen, what's wrong with you tonight, why are you always talking this kind of nonsense, you weren't like this in the past? If you send troops to support the Mexican country now, wouldn't it be the same as telling the world about the past between the Mexican country and the Su country, and I Qiguo is on the side of the Mexican country, isn't this sending the Su country into the arms of Xiji in disguise?"

Ning Haochen: "The lord of the country means that we stand by and watch?"

Liang Yi: "This invasion of the Xiji Thousand Thunder Kingdom sounds menacing and powerful, but in fact it cannot be compared with the previous battle of Jingwei Pass. The invasion of the Thousand Thunder Kingdom is not only Dongji, but also the territory of the Shu Kingdom in the north of Ji, but because of the old past between the Mo Kingdom and the Shu Kingdom, we can't interfere so hastily. ”

Ning Haochen: "Then you can't sit still, right?"

Liang Yi: "Lei Che's abacus is most likely not Jibei, but Jingwei Pass, and if you keep Jingwei Pass, the world will be peaceful." If there is a change in Jibei, it will be handed over to the Shu Kingdom to deal with by themselves, the Yun clan is the head of the thirteen major meritorious countries of the Ji Dynasty, although this Yun Fan is not a member of the Yun clan, but now he is still sitting on the throne, and he is the last bloodline of the Yun clan. ”

Ning Haochen: "The lord of the country is so relieved to dream of the lord of the country?"

Liang Yi: "Yun Ji, the lord of the country, cares about his family and country, loves and hates clearly, and the Yun family is full of loyalty, which is obvious to all." She didn't want her country to be ruined in her hands, so she recalled Yun Fan and thought about it in the clan. Treason and collaboration with the enemy is a big crime, and she can't afford it. ”

Ning Haochen: "That's the plan for today......"

Liang Yi seemed to be smiling, and answered the question: "Xia Guo and Mo Guo, have there been any recent movements?"

Ning Haochen: "The army of the Xia Kingdom is currently stationed at the intersection of Mingyue City and the Gulong Pass and the north of the Juelong Mountain Range, and there is no exact movement yet!"

Liang Yi: "How long does it take to set off from the imperial capital to the Juelong Mountain Range?" ”

Ning Haochen: "Light armor and light riding, the sun and the moon are combined, and it will take half a month at the earliest." ”

Liang Yi: "What about Mingyue City?"

Ning Haochen: "Seven days and six nights." ”

Liang Yi: "What have been the recent movements of the four countries of Yan, Luo, Han, and Shu, as well as their surrounding vassals?"

Ning Haochen: "The Yan Kingdom has recently been searching for traces of the Black Heaven Sect in the whole country and has increased the review of past business travel, the Luo Kingdom has taken the opportunity to increase its trade with Tianqiong City, and the Han Kingdom has followed the Xia Kingdom and often trains troops at the border. ”

Liang Yi: "What has Su Yi been doing lately?"

After Liang Yi left, Su Yi waited for Liang Yi to take the responsibility of the lord of the country, and it has been almost two years now, and he is Liang Yi's right-hand man with Ning Haochen.

Ning Haochen: "Mr. Su seems to have already noticed the movement on Xiji's side, so he has already rectified the armament problem that our Qiguo has not been able to solve for a long time, and just wait for the lord of the country to give an order, he can turn into a sharp sword and unsheath." ”

Liang Yi: "It's hard for him, by the way, have we solved the few people who were taken down by the secret agents of the Su Kingdom and the Mo Kingdom?" ”

Ning Haochen: "It's being done." ”

Liang Yi: "It's been almost a month. ”

Ning Haochen: "The Wangcheng Forbidden Army on this side of the Suguo has just changed its commander, and the new officials have taken office with three fires, and the first thing is to increase the guarding of important prisoners, and the ice prison of the Suguo at this time is as solid as gold......"

Liang Yi patted Ning Haochen on the shoulder: "Now, the war with Xiji is imminent, as soon as possible, don't wait for people to find out that it is our people, then it is impossible to say." If the state of Shu really wants to defect, it will not be a good thing for Dongji,"

Ning Haochen waved his hand: "My subordinate has entrusted a friend to handle this matter, and I believe that this matter will be solved soon." ”

Liang Yi: "Friend, who is the master?"

Ning Haochen: "A Xia State spy." ”

Liang Yi looked at Ning Haochen in surprise: "Mr. Ning, the road is quite wide, are you borrowing a knife to kill people?"

Ning Haochen: "It's just a matter of helping each other." ”

Liang Yi smiled deeply: "Now it is not known whether this Xiji Thousand Thunder Country will win over the Su Kingdom, and in the face of the invasion of the Thousand Thunder Country, it is also unknown whether the Xia State army stationed in the territory of the Shu Kingdom will take action, but is it now that the Mo Kingdom is aware of this threat to their interests?"

Ning Haochen: "It should be aware, but with the speed of the Marquis of the Mo Kingdom, if the support for the three cities of Jibei is completed, I am afraid it will be too late, and regardless of this for the time being, Jingwei Pass is located at the intersection of the Su Kingdom and the Mo Kingdom, once the Xiji Thousand Thunder Kingdom and the Mo Kingdom go to war, Jingwei Pass will lose the fastest and most effective support!"

Liang Yi: "The three cities of Jibei are also very close to our Qiguo. ”

Ning Haochen: "Jingwei Pass is also very close to our Qiguo. ”

Liang Yi: "Let Mr. Su send troops to reinforce Jingwei Pass." The sooner the better, don't wait. ”

Ning Haochen: "No." ”

Liang Yi: "Among so many uncertain factors, the only thing that can be determined is that Jingwei Pass is the ultimate goal of Xiji, but we still have to be prepared for both." Later, I will write a letter, and you will copy it to the countries of Dongji, declaring the interests and harms. ”

Ning Haochen: "Do you want it too?"

Liang Yi: "The state of Shu is still the vassal state of Dongji, of course, are you drunk and always talking nonsense?"

Ning Haochen: "The subordinates are guilty. ”

Liang Yi: "Change the bad problem that you stop sin at every turn." ”

Between the words, Liang Yi's gaze gradually deepened: "Jibei's family affairs let Shuguo take care of it himself, no matter what happens next, hold Jingwei Pass at all costs." ”

"Rak-"

At this time, the black figure that had been roosting on the roof inadvertently stepped on a piece of rubble, attracting the attention of Liang Yi and Ning Haochen who were talking. Liang Yi stood with his hands in his hands, and Ning Haochen immediately locked the position of the black shadow, only to see a cold light shoot out from Ning Haochen's cuffs, and a miserable scream sounded on the roof of Fang Bo's mansion.

The black shadow rolled down the eaves in front of Liang Yi and Ning Haochen, and several Phoenix Feather Armor broke into the koi pond where Liang Yi and Ning Haochen were standing side by side at this time.

Liang Yi clapped his hands and applauded, and all the phoenix feather armor knelt down to admit his mistake: "It's too late to save the driver, please ask the lord of the country to forgive me!"

Liang Yi: "It's okay to be alone, you're okay." That's it, this person can avoid Ning Haochen's ears and avoid the eyes of the Phoenix Feather Armor, at least at the level of the peak of the ninth order. Ning Haochen, amazing, the martial artist at the peak of the ninth order can't escape a single sword death in front of you, and you still want you to stay alive, so you directly kill this person. ”

Ning Haochen: "The content of my conversation with the lord of the country tonight is confidential, and no third party can know about it. ”

Between the words, Liang Yi personally squatted in front of the man in black, took off his mask, and then turned to ask Ning Haochen: "Do you know this person?"

Ning Haochen: "Give me time, I will be able to find out." ”

Liang Yi smiled: "What is most lacking now is time. ”

Liang Yi glanced at the phoenix feather armor and said, "Since you don't know who this person is, then it's better to go to the head of the Xiji Thousand Thunder Kingdom." You all go down first, and by the way, dispose of this corpse, Ning Haochen, you go back to the study with Gu, and Gu will draft a document to crusade against Xiji. ”

Ning Haochen shook his hands and spoke in unison with everyone.

"No!"

Liang Yi waved his sleeves and closed the dead black shadow's eyes wide, then got up and left with his hands in his hands, Ning Haochen followed closely behind. The phoenix feather armor carried away the corpse of the deceased.

When the moonlight faded, the night was dark, and the koi fish in the pond came out one after another, and it seemed that there would be a light rain in the imperial capital tomorrow, Liang Yi took a deep breath, and it seemed that he would not be able to sleep peacefully tonight.
