"Father, now that we know Cai Xuan's true identity, what should we do?"

The lord of the country paced back and forth a few times, and said angrily: "Since I know that he is a spy, if I let him go easily, won't it seem that my Fire Phoenix Kingdom is too weak?" I must behead him to show the public, and by the way, warn those spies of other countries hiding in Phoenix City, let them not act rashly, otherwise they really think that my Fire Phoenix Kingdom is easy to bully!"

For this point, Feng Shanyue is also in favor, Qu Chi Guo first unilaterally restricted the horse trade, and then sent spies to investigate, which is indeed a bit excessive. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info involves the issue of national prestige, and we must not give an inch.

The next day, the lord of the country directly announced the charges against Cai Xuan and Xu Dayin in the court, and sentenced them to be beheaded after three days.

Feng Shanyue thought that this matter could come to an end, but on the third day, an envoy from Quchi Kingdom came to deliver the credentials.

"Damn! bastard!" the lord of the country rarely burst into foul language, he threw the national letter sent by Qu Chiguo to the ground, and slapped the table in anger.

Manager Xiao was taken aback, and was about to step forward to pick up the national letter, but the lord of the country said, "Don't pick it up, go and call the high priest, Yu Shuai and Feng Jiu to me." ”

"Yes. ”

After a while, the three of them hurried to the Shangde Palace.

"Come, you all come to see this national letter sent by Qu Chi Kingdom, it's unreasonable, it's just too deceitful!" said the lord of the country and became excited again.

The three of them read the letter of state and finally understood why the lord of the country was angry. It turned out that the lord of Quchi sent a messenger to send a letter of state, asking the Fire Phoenix Kingdom to return Cai Xuan, otherwise not only would he never provide horses to the Fire Phoenix Country in the future, but the two countries would also meet each other.

"What is the origin of this Cai Xuan? Is it really just a spy?" Yu Shuai frowned, the tone of the lord of the Quchi country was so tough, as if Cai Xuan's life and death were related to the survival of the Quchi country.

"He's supposed to be a spy, and after that kind of interrogation, he shouldn't have any reservations. ”

The high priest thought for a moment, "Then this letter of state is more like a problem for us, if we release Cai Xuan according to the requirements of Quchi Kingdom, then the Fire Phoenix Kingdom will not be able to speak between the various countries in the future." If he didn't, he would have a reason to cut off the supply of horses and send troops to attack the Fire Phoenix Kingdom. ”

"Actually, he didn't give me a choice at all!" said in a deep voice, "He knows that it is impossible for me to release Cai Xuan according to his request." This letter of state is just a formality, and I guess he has long wanted to swallow the Fire Phoenix Kingdom. ”

Yu Shuai nodded, "According to the current situation, it is indeed as the king said. The borders of the three kingdoms of Mafang, Huofeng, and Quchi intersect. The Kingdom of Malaysia and the Kingdom of the Fire Phoenix have always been in a state of confrontation, with occasional skirmishes. Quchi Province, on the other hand, has always remained neutral. But judging from Xu Dayin's confession, in fact, Qu Chi Guo has been secretly plotting to encroach on the Fire Phoenix Kingdom. Because of his trickery in terms of war horses, the cavalry of our Fire Phoenix Country has always had little combat effectiveness, and with the addition of the chariot team and infantry team, they can barely confront the Ma Fang Kingdom. If at this time, Quchi Country sends troops......"

"Two to one, aren't we going to lose?" Feng Shanyue is a loser no matter how you calculate it.

Yu Shuai saluted to the lord of the country and said: "Please rest assured! Our soldiers of the Fire Phoenix Kingdom are all bloody phoenixes, and they will never retreat half a point in the face of the enemy, and they will definitely fight to the death with those who invade our land." ”

The Lord of the Kingdom nodded, "I believe in you, and I also believe in the soldiers of the Fire Phoenix Kingdom. However, let them resist the iron hooves of the two big countries with their flesh and blood, as the lord of the country, how can I bear it! I hate only that Xu Quan, if it weren't for him, we would have bred our own horses a long time ago, how could we fall into such a dilemma?"

Everyone was thinking about countermeasures, and at this time, Manager Xiao came to report that Yuheng had returned from the border.

"Let him come in quickly!"

"Yes!"

After Yu Heng came in, he was very surprised to see that his father, the high priest, and Feng Shanyue were all present, but he still saluted the lord first, "Your Majesty, the villain is back!"

"How's it going?"

"Your Excellency, there is nothing abnormal in the place where it is handed over to the country of Malaysia, and the other party's army has been stationed at the border, far away from our army, and it is temporarily calm. However, when passing by the border with Quchi Country, the villain discovers a strange thing. ”

"What's the matter?"

"The villain walked along the Yilan River, and there is a section of the river that happens to be the border between us and the Quchi Kingdom. When I was resting by the river, I noticed that the people on the other side of the river were a little strange. ”

"What's the weird way?"

"Although they are dressed like ordinary people, the appearance of holding farm tools is like holding a halberd, which is very awkward. Moreover, almost all the people in the village were young people, and I hid by the river for most of the day and observed, but I did not see any old people, women, or children. ”

"This is not normal! A normal village should have both men, women, and children, even if it is a border village, there are fewer people, and there will not even be an old man or child, right?"

The villain had planned to swim across the Yilan River at night and go to the other side to find out, but who knew that the river was always crowded with people, as if he was standing guard. So the villain speculated that there were no ordinary people in that village at all, but an army stationed there. ”

Yu Shuai frowned, "In this way, Qu Chi Guo has already been ready to move. They have already placed troops on the border, ready to attack at any time. ”

"That's why I said that Qu Chi sent this letter just to find a reason for them to send troops!" said the lord angrily.

Yu Heng didn't know what was going on, and looked at Feng Shanyue blankly. Feng Shanyue whispered about the events of the past few days, and Yuheng understood.

"Your Majesty, according to what the villain can see, this Cai Xuan can't let go. Even if they meet Qu Chiguo's requirements this time, they have already become thieves, and they will definitely not give up easily, and they will always find another opportunity to provoke. Instead of this, it's better to fight them to the death!"

The lord nodded, "Yushuai, what do you think?"

"Naturally, the minister is also in favor of confronting the other party to the end. However, the minister is also worried about one thing, if we start a war with Quchi Kingdom, then the troops will naturally have to be divided into a part, if the Ma Fang Kingdom takes this opportunity to attack in a big way, we will be a little difficult to fight against two big countries at the same time!"

This is also the reason why the lord has been trying to maintain good relations with the country of Quike, that is, he does not want to get into such a situation of starting a war with two neighboring countries at the same time. But the situation in front of him seemed to be unbearable.

"Fuyao, what are the odds of victory if we start a war with two neighboring countries at the same time?

"Yes!"

The high priest immediately had a tortoise shell taken from the witch house, placed on the fire, and began to pray. After a long time, cracks gradually appeared in the tortoise shell, and when the cracks were completely confirmed, the high priest took the tortoise shell from the fire, washed it in water, and then took it out and carefully identified it.

The lord looked at him with concern, "How is it?"

"Congratulations, this hexagram is auspicious!"
