Nine Xia Kingdom, Summer Capital, Imperial Palace

Emperor Xia took the battle report in his hand, closed his eyes and sighed softly, and then opened his eyes to look at the ministers who were relying on him.

The crown prince, who was sitting at the head of Emperor Xia, stood up respectfully and saluted Emperor Xia: "Father, what did the battle report say. ”

"See for yourself. Emperor Xia handed the battle report in his hand to his eldest son Xia Yin, and said in a deep voice: "After you finish reading it, pass it on, let everyone read it." ”

The prince respectfully took the battle report and read it carefully, and after reading the battle report carefully, the prince's face was already pale, and he passed the battle report in his hand without saying a word.

Shen Shixing, Wang Lei, Ye Ruhui, Liu Guo...... Waiting for the ministers to pass it on, the young man standing at the end was a little impatient, and he waited for the report of the battle to reach his subordinates.

This young master is the youngest son of Emperor Xia, the little prince Xia Ziyin.

Since the war on the two fronts, the war situation can still attack and defend each other at the beginning, but half a year later, the decline of fighting against two countries with the strength of one country has slowly appeared, the national strength has been lost, the soldiers have died in battle, and now Jiuxia can only defend to the death.

After holding on for so long, what should have come will still come!

As soon as the little prince Xia Ziyin took the battle report from the last minister, he saw that it was written: "There is a shortage of food in the west, a stalemate is stubborn, and the north is in danger, so send reinforcements quickly." ”

"Grain and grass, reinforcements ......!" Xia Ziyin took the battle report hard, his muscles bulged, he suddenly rushed to the center of the hall without hesitation, knelt down on one knee, and said loudly: "The situation in the north is in danger, the sons ask for war, the sons are willing to lead an army by themselves, gallop to the north, drive the invaders of the northern cold country out of the north for his father, rescue General Liu and General Shui, and hope that his father will approve it!"

Emperor Xia looked at his youngest son with satisfaction, but shook his head and sighed: "The northern aid is important, there must not be any carelessness, and at this moment, there are no soldiers to send in the Xia capital except for the Praetorian Guard and the Great Inner Guard Battalion...... It's commendable, but I still need to think again. ”

Xia Ziyin said loudly and urgently: "Father, this matter can't wait! The two old generals have been guarding for three months, and they are in danger!"

"Let's stand down, everybody. Emperor Xia closed his eyes and said slowly: "General Shen, Elder Liu Ge, Elder Ye Ge, and General Wang, the four of you will follow me to the study later." ”

"Yes. The people in the main hall retreated like a tide, and Emperor Xia got up and came to the study with the four ministers.

"Sit down. Emperor Xia came to the main seat and sat down, "What do you think about the help?"

Liu Guo took a step forward and said, "Emperor Xia, reinforcements must be sent, the key is to send that reinforcement?"

"The summer capital is already empty, only the Praetorian Guard and the guard battalion are left, these two departments are only two or three thousand people, even if they are all sent out, I don't think they can change the situation of the battle!" Liu Guo thought for a while and then said:

"The only way we can do it now is to rely on the sect's assistance. ”

"Sect?" Emperor Xia muttered slightly, "But the Gu Family and the Dragon Sect have already sent many elite disciples, and now this situation is still necessary for them to continue to reinforce......?"

Liu said: "Have you forgotten Emperor Xia? We don't have another sect in Xiadu, that is, Hongfa Temple, they are still waiting, but in such a critical situation, maybe we can ask them for assistance." ”

"I've thought about it too. Emperor Xia said in a deep voice: "They are a thousand-year-old cultivation sect, they don't care about worldly disputes, do they have too much contact with my Jiuxia royal family, and rashly make a request, I'm afraid ...... , alas......"

"Yes. Ye Ruhui sighed: "The two masters of Hongfa Temple, Huiguang and Huiming, have been in retreat since they were assassinated by Long Gubei, and now the incense and fire rituals in the outer courtyard are presided over by the disciples below, this matter is really not easy to do?"

"Long Gu!" Emperor Xia's eyes suddenly lit up, and he suddenly asked, "Do you remember how long it has been since Wu Mu set out to conquer the Western Regions?"

Shen Shixing hurriedly said: "It's been more than ten months. ”

"More than October!" Xia Huang's eyes flashed, and his face was cloudy, "It's not too much away from a year." ”

"Emperor Xia, but you have an idea?" Shen Shixing hurriedly asked:

Emperor Xia smiled slightly, "It's been ten months, I suddenly remembered a person, prepare a carriage, Lord Shen will accompany me to meet him tonight, maybe this matter of galloping will fall on him in the end." ”

Shen Shixing said respectfully: "Yes." ”

Everyone in the study looked at each other, how could they not think that there was anyone else in the Xia capital who was worthy of Emperor Xia leaving the palace to visit overnight?

And this man has something to do with the great event of the Northland!520

......

Sitting in the carriage, during the national war, Liu Guo and Ye Ruhui were not worried about Emperor Xia going out of the palace to see people, so they also went with them.

Liu Guo was the first to ask, "Who is the person that Emperor Xia visited overnight, and why is it so mysterious?"

Emperor Xia smiled slightly, "When you go to the Great Marshal's Mansion, you will know." ”

"The Marshal's Mansion?" the three of them looked at each other in surprise.

The marshal Gu Wumu, his wife Long Nishang, and the champion Hou led a group of generals to the western battlefield for more than ten months, and the elite of the marshal's mansion was exhausted.

Who else in this marshal's mansion is worthy of Emperor Xia's personal visit overnight?

The only one who sits in the Great Marshal's Mansion is Gu Tianbei, the fourth elder of the Gu family, but that is the strong man of the Yuanzun, who is restricted by the covenant of the Hundred Alliances, and is not allowed to participate in the dynastic dispute?

What's the use of looking for him?

There was nothing to say all the way, with suspicion, the carriage came to the gate of the Grand Marshal's Mansion, and the guards of the Grand Marshal's Mansion at the door saw Shen Shixing and the two elders surrounding Emperor Xia to the Grand Marshal's Mansion, so they naturally did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly stepped forward to give a salute.

"Take me to meet the four elders of the Gu family. Da Yu wrapped his body, and Emperor Xia said calmly.

"Yes. The guards led the way into the Great Marshal's Mansion, and everyone walked towards this extremely remote cultivation secret room in the Mansion.

Shen Shixing, Ye Ruhui and Liu Guo were all confused, Emperor Xia was really looking for the four elders of the Gu family, but what was the use of looking for him?

Could it be that letting His Holiness lead his troops to aid the Northern Lands didn't give the Hundred Alliances a pretext for the powerhouses to intervene?

I really don't know what medicine is sold in Xia Huang's gourd?

Soon, the guards led the four of them to a hidden cultivation secret room, and saw Gu Tianbei, who was still lying on the recliner just now, slowly sitting up, looking at the four people who came with a bright eye.

"Alas....... After seeing the person clearly, Gu Tianbei suddenly sighed and stood up.

"Emperor Xia actually came in person. ”

"I've seen the four elders. Emperor Xia respectfully reported his fist, "The war is urgent, I have to come." ”

After staring at Emperor Xia for a long time, Gu Tianbei waved his hand to let the leading guards leave.

When the guards walked away, Gu Tianbei sighed lightly, and finally took out an inscription key from his arms, "Emperor Xia, the person you are looking for is in it, but you can only enter it alone today, and today's matter, I want everyone present to swear by the demons in their hearts, don't leak half a cent out, otherwise ......"

Gu Tian's eyes showed a fierce light, "Otherwise, I will risk violating the covenant of the Hundred Alliances and kill you." ”

Hearing this, Liu Guo, Ye Ruhui and Shen Shixing gasped at the same time, the person who Emperor Xia was going to see was not the four elders of the Gu family, this Yuan Zun was just guarding the door for this person!

Oh my God, who is in this secret room? Can a Yuan Zun risk being chased by the Northern Hundred Alliances to threaten the Nine Xia Emperors!

It's ......! It's incredible!

"Okay, Fourth Elder. There was no angry look, this matter seemed to have been expected by Emperor Xia for a long time, he nodded solemnly, "Although everyone is someone I trust, but in order to reassure the four elders, please swear to the heart demon with me, this matter must not be leaked out of half of it, and everyone in this secret room should not speculate." ”

After the four of them swore by the demons in their hearts, Gu Tianbei's solemn face eased, and he handed the key in his hand to Emperor Xia, and said: "He is in the secret room, you go in, the period of one year has not yet arrived, and Jiuxia is in such a situation, but I have to let you in." “

"Thank you, Fourth Elder. Emperor Xia took the key, turned his head to look at Shen Shixing, Liu Guo and Ye Ruhui who had worried expressions, and smiled faintly, "You guys stay here, there is no danger to this person inside, and I haven't seen him for a long time, so don't worry about me." ”

After speaking, Emperor Xia walked past Gu Tianbei with the inscription key, Gu Tianbei put his hands behind his back, looked up at the north, and sighed lightly: "After Beining, it is Beichuan." ”

Insert the inscription key into the inscription stone lock of the secret room, inject the true yuan, the door of the stone room slowly opened, and Emperor Xia stepped into the stone room.
