The news that Lin Feng won the championship of the Imperial Martial Arts, was named the champion Marquis, worshiped the hussar general, and led 300,000 troops to the northwest to quell the war, spread quickly throughout the empire.

Among the Wangcheng family, there was an uproar.

Because of Dugu's ruthless death, Dugu was furious. In order to avenge his beloved son, he had already ordered all the forces attached to the Dugu family to do their best to make trouble for Lin Feng and them along the way.

Gongsun Meteor was also angry because of his defeat at the hands of Lin Feng. In addition, there is an insurmountable gap between him and his biological father, Gongsun Rulong. and the squeeze and rejection of his brother Gongsun Kang, in anger, he directly led thousands of henchmen to the war-torn northwest region to seek development, in a vain attempt to realize his ambitions.

Gongsun Rulong and the second prince Dongfang Hong were also very busy at this time.

Gongsun Rulong didn't understand the matter of letting Lin Feng lead the army to the expedition, frowned slightly, and asked: "Second prince, this Lin Feng is not a thing in the pool, and now let him lead the army alone, wouldn't it be a dragon into the sea and a tiger back to the mountain?" ”

Dongfang Hong smiled coldly and responded: "General Gongsun's words are wrong, even if this Lin Feng has the ability to reach the sky, there are only 300,000 troops under his command. He had just entered the royal city, and his foundation was unstable, and he only had the land of the wind city. As long as we surround Windy City and cut off his food and grass supply, it is equivalent to choking his throat, and he will not be disobedient. ”

"Besides, the Seven Kings of the Northwest rebelled, holding the untouchables hostage, and the rebels under their command numbered five million. He Lin Feng is only 300,000, this expedition, but the sheep into the tiger's mouth, what are we afraid of? ”

Hearing Dongfang Hong's words, Gongsun Rulong couldn't help but suddenly realize, and laughed continuously: "The second prince is far-sighted and far-sighted, and with the help of the rebels, he will get rid of the big trouble. Such a plan to kill two birds with one stone, and the implementation is seamless, which is really admired by subordinates. ”

Hearing Gongsun Rulong's compliment, Dongfang Hong's expression was even more proud, and he smiled coldly, and said: "Lin Feng is just a proud untouchable, and he can't jump for a few days. What I'm worried about now is that Ye Wentian, that old fox, is much more tricky than Lin Feng. ”

"Now that my father is terminally ill, the imperial doctor has already said that he will definitely not survive to the end of this autumn. I'm worried that when the time comes, Ip Mantian and Lin Feng will secretly collude together to sabotage the king's affairs. ”

Gongsun Rulong pondered for a moment and responded: "Second prince don't worry, according to the spies we arranged in the Ye family, Lin Feng had already completely broken with Ye Wentian half a month ago. ”

Hearing this, Dongfang Hong's heart couldn't help but be shocked, and he asked urgently: "Oh, what do you mean by this?" ”

Gongsun Rulong smiled coldly: "The second prince doesn't know, Lin Feng sneaked into the room of the county lord of Xueqing at night, and wanted to do something wrong, but was discovered by Ye Yunyong and clashed. ”

Hearing this, Dongfang Hong's expression was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed out loud and said, "It's so good, God really helps me!" ”

Gongsun Rulong raised his eyebrows and glanced at Dongfang Hong, and said respectfully: "Second prince, it is said that this Ye Wentian wants to marry his concubine Ye Xueqing to the prince of the Sunset Empire, and wants to gain the support of the Sunset Empire through such a marriage. ”

Dongfang Hong's gloomy-like eyes flashed with a touch of cold anger, and said: "I already know this, Ye Wentian, the old fox, is becoming more and more presumptuous!" ”

Gongsun Rulong smiled coldly and said, "Don't be angry, the second prince, since you Ye Wentian want to marry your daughter, we will let him marry." ”

Hearing Gongsun Rulong's suggestion, Dongfang Hong's heart couldn't help but be shocked, and he shouted in a condensed voice: "General Gongsun, what do you mean by this, aren't you afraid that Ye Wentian will get the support of the Sunset Empire and let you fall into a place of no return?" ”

Gongsun Rulong shook his head with a smile and said, "This Sunset Empire has dreamed of annexing our six northeastern counties, and we can use this as a bargaining chip in exchange for the Sunset Empire's support." The city of six counties and a woman, the royal family of the Sunset Empire, will definitely be able to know which is more important. ”

Dongfang Hong pondered for a moment, and asked in a condensed voice: "General Gongsun, are you trying to let this king betray the unscrupulous descendants of the ancestors?" ”

Gongsun Rulong shook his head and said, "No, this is a strategy to retreat." ”

"Oh, what do you mean by that?" Dongfang Hong frowned and asked.

Gongsun Rulong replied with a smile: "Cessing the six counties in the northeast to the Sunset Empire is a strong man's broken wrist." But if we don't get the support of the Sunset Empire, once Ye Guogong gains power and helps the eldest prince to ascend the throne, we will die without a place to be buried. ”

"And as far as I know, this Lin Feng has always admired the county lord Ye Xueqing, so that the Sunset Empire, Lin Feng, and Ye Guogong can divide their forces into this unreasonable quagmire because of a woman. We are taking advantage of this opportunity to make a great difference. ”

Hearing Gongsun Rulong's words, Dongfang Hong's expression immediately showed a hint of joy, and he clapped his hands and praised: "This plan is very good, General Gongsun, this matter will be handed over to you." ”

"Yes, second prince, my subordinates will do it!" Gongsun Rulong answered, and quickly retreated.

When he walked to the main hall, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise a smug sneer. Dongfang Hong wants to sit on the throne of the emperor of the empire, and his grandson Rulong naturally wants to sit on it......

Just when Dongfang Hong and Gongsun Rulong were discussing how to calculate Lin Feng and Ye Guogong and seek a great cause, Ye Guogong's mansion was also boiling.

Still as before, Ye Man Tianduan sat on the first seat, looking down at the Ye family's relatives and henchmen.

"Now that the entire empire is in turmoil, Lin Feng led an army of 300,000 to quell the rebellion, what do you think about this?"

Ye Yunyong was the first to break the death-like silence, glared at Ye Yunluo angrily, and shouted coldly: "Hmph, it's not all caused by someone on purpose, otherwise, how could he Lin Feng win the championship of the Imperial Martial Arts and obtain the qualification to lead the army this time?" ”

Ye Yunluo naturally understood the meaning of Ye Yunyong's words, and retorted not to be outdone: "If I hadn't made a move at that time, Lin Feng would indeed not have this qualification, but at that time, who among us can be the opponent of Gongsun Meteor?" ”

Ye Yunyong snorted coldly and responded, "I don't believe that a few of us join forces, and we can't defeat a Gongsun Meteor?" ”

Ye Yunba has never had a good impression of his cousin. In addition, he himself has a fiery temper, so he immediately raised his throat and shouted: "His grandson Meteor is a real martial king, even if a few of us join forces, he is still not his opponent." ”

Ye Hu also echoed: "What the fourth prince said is reasonable, and at that time, Chenyang, Shui Yang, Zhao Zilan, and Xue Yong were still able to fight, even if we were able to defeat Gongsun Meteor, we would make wedding dresses for others in vain." ”

"Hmph, how can our Ye family have people like you who will only grow the morale of others and destroy their own prestige." Although Ye Yunyong also knew that what they said was reasonable, he was still not to be outdone.

Seeing the chaos below, Ye Wentian's anger immediately surged up, and he shouted in a condensed voice: "Okay, what are you arguing about, stop it all for me!" ”

Seeing that Ye Wentian was angry, Ye Yunyong, Ye Yunba and others all instinctively closed their mouths, so as not to anger him.

Seeing this, Ye Shan hurriedly changed the topic and said: "Now in the nine counties in the northwest, there are eight counties in rebellion, Tanglin County has one million soldiers, and there are 300,000 elite iron horsemen in Longyang County, plus the soldiers of the other six counties, as well as the exiles and thieves who have been coerced, the total number is not less than five million, just with the 300,000 army under Lin Feng, if you want to quell the rebellion, it is undoubtedly a sheep's mouth." According to the opinion of his subordinates, within a month, Lin Feng will undoubtedly be defeated. ”

Ye Wentian nodded lightly and responded: "What Ye Shan said is reasonable, and it coincides with me. Now that the king is likely to die in the west, the second prince Dongfang Hong and Gongsun Rulong will definitely refuse to sit still, and I am afraid that there will be big moves in the near future. ”

Ye Shan replied respectfully: "As far as my subordinates know, the people of this Gongsun family have been secretly in contact with the royal family of the Sunset Empire, and we should marry the lord of Xueqing County as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night." ”

Before Ye Shan's words fell, Ye Hai, who had been silent, hurriedly stood up and said, "Guogong, my subordinates think this move is inappropriate. The wolf ambition of the Sunset Empire will definitely take advantage of this matter to occupy my mountains and rivers. ”

"Let him occupy it, anyway, the territory of our Ye family is not bordering the Sunset Empire." Ye Yunyong retorted angrily.

Hearing Ye Yunyong's bastard words, Ye Yunluo's anger immediately surged up, and he shouted angrily: "No matter what, those are the mountains and rivers of our Qingfeng Empire, how can they be sent into the mouths of others in vain?" ”

Ye Yunyong snorted disdainfully, and responded: "That's better than offending the Sunset Empire and letting the entire family fall into a place of no return, right?" Could it be that in your eyes, the lives of those untouchables from the poor family are heavier than our entire Ye family? ”

"Ye Yunyong, you ......" Ye Yunluo was so angry by Ye Yunyong's bastard words that he didn't know how to refute, so he had to look angrily.

When Ye Wentian saw that they were arguing again, he immediately shouted angrily again: "Okay, if there is anything to quarrel about, stop me." ”

"As for the marriage with the Sunset Empire, I have made up my mind. And Xue Qing has also reached the age of marriage, so she can choose a good day and an auspicious day to do this thing. ”

"Hayama, you will go to the Sunset Empire today, and convey my meaning to the royal family of the Sunset Empire, so that they can also prepare. Since I, Ye Wentian, want to marry my daughter, I want to marry in style. ”

Ye Shan bowed respectfully and responded: "Yes, Guogong, my subordinates will do it." ”

At this moment, a maid came running in a little panic, and directly knelt on the ground with a thud, and said: "Qiyu Guogong, the county lord has refused to eat for several days, and he refuses to take even the medicine prescribed by the doctor. ”

Hearing this, Ye Guogong was shocked, and he didn't care about the majesty of Guogong, so he suddenly stood up and walked quickly towards Ye Xueqing's boudoir......
