"The reason why the emperor doesn't let go of the fish mystery is just because of face, but although the emperor can rest assured that the thief is a trustworthy person, we just want to take the fish mystery back to the Western Regions, and we will never involve Middle-earth again, and today's incident will not be mentioned to anyone. The woman's voice was pleasant and crisp, making people feel like they had to surrender to her, but she regarded Lin Nan as too simple, how could the dignified Emperor Sui be so at the mercy of others?

"Nangong Yuxing, do you really think I can't kill you?" Lin Nan's face changed suddenly, and his eyes showed murderous intent, but all this Nangong Yuxing seemed to be unconscious, and only replied lightly: "There are too many people in this world who want to kill me, and one more emperor Nangong is not too much." ”

After hearing this, Lin Nan looked at him and said, "Nangong Yuxing, you are too arrogant! I am the lord of the world, how can I be at your mercy!"

"Heh, since the emperor said so, then Nangong can only take Miss Jieluo back to the Western Regions. Nangong Yuxing drank a glass of wine and stood up from the cabin, while Lin Nan quickly made a move, and reached forward with his left palm to grab Nangong Yuxing's chest, but he really underestimated Nangong Yuxing, although he was defenseless, but the dignified thief was definitely not something he could deal with with in one move.

The two of them moved their hands in the cabin, although there were many people on Nangong Yuxing's side, but the woman next to him didn't know whether she didn't know martial arts, or she didn't want to make a move, anyway, she was just watching from the sidelines, but she didn't join the battle group. But even so, Lin Nan and Nangong Yuxing still seemed a little powerless to fight, after all, his body's current kung fu was still a little worse than Nangong Yuxing.

The two of them fought from the cabin to the outside of the cabin, from the previous empty-handed to the sword fan to fight each other, Nangong Yuxing is worthy of being Nangong Yuying, a small folding fan can also make the clouds flow smoothly, without a flaw.

However, Lin Nan's swordsmanship is also very strong, at least in the current situation, Nangong Yuxing does not have much upper hand, but what will happen if it goes on like this, only God knows.

Just when the two were fighting, a lone lamp appeared on the lake in the distance, and it seemed that there was a small boat under the lone lamp, but who was standing on the boat couldn't see it clearly.

"Why did he come, who called him here?" Several women in Nangong Yuxing looked at each other, as if they were very disgusted or jealous of the people who came, and although Nangong Yuxing didn't show anything, the fan method was suddenly a little disordered, and it seemed that they also paid attention to the people who came.

Lin Nan saw all this in his eyes, it doesn't matter who the person is, what matters is what the person is here to do, the bell needs to be tied to the bell, and what kind of person he is can only be answered by himself.

Seeing that the boat had moved closer, Nangong Yuxing took a step back, set aside Lin Nan's long sword and hummed, "No flowers." What are you going to do!"

"Amitabha, the thief has done something that should not be done, and Wuhua naturally has to take care of it. When he said this, he had unconsciously appeared beside Nangong Yuxing, but he didn't expect this person to be a disciple of Buddhism, and he looked very young and handsome, but his light skill really shocked Lin Nan, and Nangong Yuxing was obviously used to it, so he only snorted coldly and asked, "What do you mean, what did I do that I shouldn't have done?"

"Have you forgotten what the thief has done? "This monk is even more arrogant than Nangong Yuxing, it seems that he didn't take Nangong Yuxing in his eyes, as for why he wanted to help Lin Nan, this is really unknown.

"Wuhua, why do you always have to meddle with our affairs, don't you think you're annoying?" The woman behind Nangong Yuxing said to the monk in unison, but the monk didn't realize it, just looked at Nangong Yuxing and said, "How about the thief let the saint go, how about lying down in Persia with Wuhua?" He didn't have a pleading tone when he said this, but it seemed to be an order.

"Hmph!" Nangong Yuxing turned around angrily. Skimming the folding fan into the lake, and then said coldly: "Half a year later, Nangong will come to the palace again, hoping that the emperor can give Nangong a satisfactory answer." The words fell, the person had entered the cabin, and then a woman helped Jieluo out of the inner cabin, Jieluo was obviously a little frightened, but after she saw Lin Nan, a hanging heart finally let go again, because she knew that Lin Nan would never let herself be hurt.

"Loel. Although the stomach was full of puzzlement, but the goal was achieved, this is the most important thing, and Jieluo didn't know the inside story of this, and thought that Lin Nan saved herself, so she cried even more aggrieved in Lin Nan's arms.

"Who is that monk, and why is Nangong Yuxing so afraid of him?" No one can answer this question, so they can only wait for the answer in the future.

Back in the palace, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Lin Nan didn't blame anyone, let alone punish anyone, just lightly said a little about what happened, and everyone was a little puzzled when they heard what was going on. However, if you don't understand it, it all comes down to the fact that Luo's turmoil has subsided, which is the most important thing.

The spring rain in Luoyang is always late, when the southern lands are already in the spring and the rain is continuous, the breath of spring is still dodging and refusing here.

However, compared with the dry and cold northwest and Liaodong further north, Luoyang's climate is still much more suitable, at least the wind and sand are not rampant here, and with the huge water belt of the Grand Canal, although the warm and humid monsoon is weak, it can always play some role, so that Luoyang has a little more warm and humid atmosphere than the dry inland areas.

At this time, Lin Nan was writing a letter, a very strange letter, the content of the letter was very ambiguous, and it felt plausible to read, and he also used a brush to smear many words on it, making the letter read more incoherent.

"Your Majesty, what kind of letter is this, what do you think?" Yuan Bao'er stared blankly at the letter on the table, tilting her head and asking inexplicably.

Lin Nan smiled abruptly, pinched her little face and said, "You don't understand what I said, this is what I use to fool people." ”

"Fooling people?" Yuan Bao'er's big eyes turned straight ahead, she didn't know what Lin Nan was talking about, she naturally hadn't heard the word fooling people.

Lin Nan grabbed her, and then ordered the competent person to send the letter out, and the recipient was naturally obsessed with Sili.

"Jia Xu's plan to wipe the book, I will also learn, see that you are not dead this time. Lin Nan smiled secretly in his heart, and at this time, Wei Zheng suddenly ran in in a hurry, still holding a book in his hand.

"Urgent report at the border gate, Your Majesty, something is wrong!" Wei Zheng's face was ugly, and at a glance, he knew that something earth-shattering must have happened.

"What's going on, show it to me. Lin Nan came down to the palace to take over the chapter, it doesn't matter what it looks like, it's really shocking.

It turned out that the Turkic Luo sent his younger brother Jieli to lead 150,000 troops to march into the Khitan, but when the army was halfway through, Jieli secretly led 5,000 light cavalry to Xiaoguan, and the men and horses defending Xiaoguan were caught off guard and did not resist Jieli's onslaught, and Xiaoguan was lost.

Lin Nan hurriedly went to look at the map, and when he saw the place of Xiao Guan, he clicked a few times, and suddenly shouted one by one: "It's a disaster!" Lin Nan stood there, looking at the big map on the wall and thinking carefully, there was a more detailed topographic map on the desk, and he had been thinking about it for a long time based on these two maps.

The enemy's intentions have been basically determined, and all the 150,000 troops have been stationed in Xiaoguan, which directly cut off the connection between Tongzhou and the Khitan.

Xiaoguan is a very inconspicuous place, and it can be said that it is not very useful, but now it is occupied by the Turks, it is a word, they can not only destroy the Khitan now, but even raise a large army to seize Tongzhou, which Lin Nan does not want to see.

However, there is a problem that Lin Nan did not find, that is, the Turkic attack this time is advantageous, but there are also disadvantages, Xiaoguan is a small place, not able to accommodate 150,000 people, their supply is a big problem, but from the Turks to this side and the distance is far away, it is really not cost-effective.

Li Jing saw this problem, Zhuge Zhi saw it, and Lin Nan naturally saw it.

"Jieli will not sit still, the best way now is to send troops to destroy the Khitan, with the current strength of the Khitan, I am afraid it will be difficult to support it for a few days. Lin Nan watched everyone speak, and several civil and military officers nodded, but there was no practical way.

Lin Nan snorted and said: "Dingxiang's men and horses have been restrained, but my Great Sui is not only only those hundreds of thousands of horses? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, we can't tolerate it any longer, what is the small Turkic state!" Hou Junji was the first to agree, of course, the weight of his agreement was not heavy, and except for him, the other ministers were all pondering, and did not make a decision immediately.

After waiting for a long time, Zhuge Zhi spoke: "Your Majesty, I think this battle can be fought, and it can be won." ”

"Oh?" Lin Nan's eyes lit up, and he looked at him and said, "Tell me what you think." ”

Zhuge Zhi pointed to the map and said: "Xiaoguan is not the main place, although he can stop us from fighting the Khitan, but I don't think Chu Luo will be so petty, a small Khitan doesn't need them to move the people so much, I think he must be going to attack in two ways, surround Dingxiang, and eat the heavy army group of General Li." ”

"Well, go on. ”

In this case, if the emperor mentions another brigade of troops to surround Xiao Pass, within a few months, the Turks will be in chaos, and then a war can be decided. ”

After hearing this, Lin Nan nodded and said, "Well, what I think is nothing more than I can do, this matter will be done quickly, and it will change later." Just as everyone was discussing, an attendant suddenly leaned in next to Lin Nan, stroked his ear and said, "Your Majesty, the Khitan princess Nalan Xue is waiting outside the palace to ask to see you." ”

"Oh, why is she here?" Lin Nan raised his eyebrows, and then instructed the ministers: "Zhuge Zhi, you immediately mobilize the people and horses of all the counties on the outskirts of Beijing to gather in Luoyang, and I will take the stage tomorrow to teach the teacher, and the Northern Expedition to the Turks, as for the rest of you, go down with him." ”

"Yes. Zhuge Zhi agreed, and withdrew from the hall with the ministers, Lin Nan smiled slightly, and just sat down, he saw a peerless beauty walking in from the outside, wearing a snow-white narrow-sleeved round-neck knee-length coat that was extremely holy, wearing a fox fur cloak, purple and gold boots under his feet, wearing a round phoenix crown on his head, a pearl pendant hanging around the crown, and a shallow exposed cicada sideburns as thin as wings, and a white jade exquisite phoenix gold earrings between the ears, and the spirit bead necklace on the neck was triangular and shining, similar to the color of Bixueyun's shoulders. A pair of slender jade hands wearing a white light mesh manzao hand cage, the sparkling phosphorescent on the Linlang belt, the two green Dai eyebrows are marked with spiritual embroidery, the bright eyes are looking forward to it, the red lips are slightly closed, and a flawless face is slightly red because of the heat experienced by Shicai in the valley. She slowly leaned into Lin Nan with the lotus step, and she could smell a rich and fragrant aroma in the entire tent, this fragrance did not come from some kind of external incense powder, but a natural body fragrance, since ancient times, it seems that only Xi Shi is a beautiful woman who exudes fragrance all over her body, but Nalan Xue's body fragrance seems to be superior.

"You're still so beautiful, I can't even think of myself. "There was no one in the hall, so Lin Nan didn't speak so restrainedly.

Nalan Xue liked him even more, and said with a shallow smile: "I haven't been with the emperor for a few days, I don't know if the emperor is okay?" Lin Nan laughed, stared at her and said, "Do you say I'm good?" Of course it's not good, I can't see how you get better." ”

"Really?" Nalan Xue smiled again, she would only show such a charming smile in front of Lin Nan, this was a gift, but only for Lin Nan alone.

"Your Majesty, I am here again as an envoy this time, but I am just a messenger, not a negotiation. Nalan Xue said as she took out a leather roll from her cuff, Lin Nan reached out and took it, and looked at it carefully, it turned out that the above words were Yuanzhi suggesting that he send troops to the Northern Expedition, which was in line with his own thoughts, but Yuanzhi probably wanted to use Lin Nan to contain Jieli.

"Your father Khan has given me another problem. Lin Nan was embarrassed, Nalan Xue saw it, turned around lightly and said with a faint smile: "The emperor is not honest and doesn't tell the truth, this is obviously your idea, but how can you be embarrassed?"

"Uh" The woman's cleverness is indeed terrible, Lin Nan only found out that it was too late at this time, but Nalan Xue was not angry, but leaned over gently, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Xue'er prays for you in the Khitan ****, I hope you are safe and happy, have you felt all this?"

"Of course, I **** will think of you, I don't know if you have a good time in Khitan, do you also feel this lovesickness?" The two said this, looking at each other, not looking at each other, but speechless warmth. At least Nalan Xue herself knows that the only man she loves in her life is Lin Nan, because he is given to him by God, and he is the only man who can have his own.

Lin Nan gently took her into his arms and said softly: "I am going to personally conquer Xiaoguan Jieli tomorrow, do you want to wait for my good news here, or go back to Khitan?"

Talking about separation as soon as they met, Nalan Xue was naturally a little unhappy, she rarely had a coquettish time, but that was not because she wouldn't, but because no one was willing to accept it.

"I want to follow the emperor and not go anywhere. Nalan Xue bit her lip and said, Lin Nan who looked like a little woman was really excited, and she could still refuse,

Lin Nan smiled and said, "Okay, okay, then you can follow me." ”

"Your Majesty, Emperor. Nalan Xue learned the appearance of a woman in the Central Plains, and even gave a hibiscus ceremony, which made Lin Nan even more pity.

In the west inner garden, the flag is displayed, and a huge banner with the word "Sui" stands on the newly built worship platform.

The ministers dressed in full costume stood in shifts under the stage, Wei Zheng stood in the first place among the Wenchens, and Hou Junji was dressed in golden helmets and gold armor, and stood in the first place in the military generals class with a solemn expression.

A burst of drums sounded, Lin Nan walked to the teaching platform surrounded by all the guards, and the celebrant was already loudly announcing at this time: "The auspicious time has arrived, the Son of Heaven will teach the teacher!"

Lin Nan stepped onto the stage, and the eunuch followed behind with a large seal and seal wrapped in golden satin in his hand, Lin Nan slowly climbed to the top of the stage, and then knelt down to worship the sky facing south.

After the sacrifice, Lin Nan stood up and took the big seal in his hand, and said solemnly: "All the civil and military forces obey the order, go out with me to the Northern Expedition, do not exterminate the Turks, and swear not to return to the division!"

Listening to Lin Nan's impassioned words, the crowd also felt a little enthusiastic, and the Praetorian Guards lined up in the West Inner Garden shouted in unison: "Long live...... Hooray......!!"

Under the banner of the wind on the worship platform, Lin Nan kept waving to the soldiers, and the strong sunlight shone so strongly that he could barely open his eyes.

On April 13, the eighth year of the Great Cause, Lin Nanqin led an army of 500,000, known as 1.2 million, and set off from Luoyang, passing through Wuguan and approaching Xiaoguan.

Wei Zheng naturally stayed as a prisoner, with him is Sa Wuji, as before, the two have the intention of monitoring each other, while receiving the secret report of the Northern Expedition from Luoyang Lin Nanbai, Chu Luo also received the news of a letter sent by Lin Nan secretly hidden by Zhi Si Li, which made him sleep ugly, you know, Zhi Si Li commanded the most elite 100,000 iron cavalry of the Turks, if he really rebelled against Sui, the consequences would be unimaginable.

As the saying goes, use people without suspicion, suspect people don't need to, he has now begun to suspect Zhi Si Li, and naturally check him, so he immediately brought his henchman Ashina Simo to lead five hundred flying wolves to the Zhi Si Li to stop the account, Zhi Si Li is Zhuge Liang of the grassland, how could he not know his intentions here, so he hurriedly greeted him. After all, Chu Luo is also a smart person, so he didn't turn his face immediately, but just chuckled and said: "I heard that the emperor of the Sui Dynasty sent a letter to the general, and Chu Luo wants to see how the emperor of the Sui Dynasty humiliates us, I don't know if the general can appreciate his face."
