"Hitting grass will naturally scare the snake, but it also depends on whether the snake is so vigilant." As he spoke, Mu Yunfeng glanced at Ming Tao and Shu Li beside him proudly, and said with a smile: "That Qi Bingwen is just a straw bag, even if we exterminate 10,000 people in the same way, he will only say that this Lin Tong is incapable and is just a fool." Therefore, we don't have to be afraid that Qi Bingwen will not pursue us at all. ”

"In that case, what are we waiting for? Kill ......" Hearing Mu Yunfeng's words, Ming Tao directly waved his hand and said to his subordinates behind.

Hearing Ming Tao's order, the soldiers who had been lying in ambush in the woods began to shoot arrows into the woods.

Lin Tong was taken aback by this sudden attack, but he quickly reacted and began to organize a counterattack. But the army stopped and became a live target. Every time Ming Tao's soldiers shot arrows, they succeeded in taking the lives of Lin Tong's soldiers.

Looking at the results of such a battle, the three of them were very excited. All three had expectant expressions on their faces.

An hour later, Ming Tao and the others cleaned up the battlefield and returned to Zhending City with all the soldiers to wait for the arrival of Qi Bingwen's army.

Qi Bingwen's character was just like what Mu Yunfeng said, and sure enough, when he saw the corpses of the 10,000 vanguard soldiers, his whole person was full of resentment. However, he did not dare to hide so many soldier losses. On horseback, he wrote a plea for sin, and asked him to send it directly to the capital.

However, after the death of two pairs of vanguards, Qi Bingwen became cautious. It's just that when he heard that Tao and Mu Yunfeng were both in Zhending City, he directly ordered the siege of the city, his plan was not as good as Ming Tao, but he would use the most earthy method to besiege the city. As long as Ming Tao's team is in Zhending City, sooner or later they will run out of food and grass, and Zhending City will naturally break itself.

Ming Yun folded the guilty plea that Qi Bingwen had just sent eight hundred miles in an urgent manner, with a playful smile on his face. However, his expression was quickly hidden by him.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have just received a message from Marshal Qi Bingwen that he is in the army of King Yan near Zhending City. Before they even really fought, their troops had already lost 20,000 horses. What do you think we should do? Putting down the recital, Ming Yun asked all the civil and military officials in the main hall.

"The ministers thought that Qi Bingwen's talent was not suitable for leading troops, so the ministers thought that another second-way marshal should be sent to lead the whole army." Walking out of the queue, Zhao Gang saluted and said.

"The minister also agrees with the opinion of the right minister." Zuo Xiang also walked out of the queue, stood side by side with Zhao Gang, and saluted.

"Since both of them think that the marshal should be re-appointed, who will be sent this time?" Ming Yun looked at the left and right prime ministers who had completely unanimous opinions, and sneered in his heart. If it was before, he would only think that the two of them were unanimous in the Great Holy Dynasty. Now he knew that a person who didn't take him as an emperor in his eyes at all, and they had already discussed that playing a double reed here was what made him the most sad.

It's just that the generals who followed the emperor's grandfather back then were already old, and it was impossible for them to lead the troops. Most of the generals of the new generation have now defected to the Four Emperor Uncles. I don't know who the final result of their discussion will be. But no matter who it was, he could only nod his head in agreement. However, he can delay some time, so that he can be prepared by the Four Emperor Uncles with more time.

"The ministers think that Hou Ye Qian Xiaoyou is a good general. Let him lead the troops to victory. Zuo Xiang said directly after Mingyun's voice just fell.

"Qian Xiaoyou? How can we let a Hou Ye come out, there are many capable people in our Great Holy Dynasty. Mingyun directly shook his head and denied. If it were someone else, he naturally couldn't object, but this Qian Xiaoyou is not an ordinary person, he not only learned art with his father since he was a child, but he was also good at kung fu. He also has a brilliant brain. Of course, these are not the main ones, the most important thing is that I heard that Yin Xinlian and her current husband live in Yanjing now, if he is really allowed to lead troops to attack the fourth uncle, I am afraid that the fourth uncle will be in danger. Therefore, Ming Yun didn't want to deny it directly.

"The wish of the Weichen family who served the emperor and the Great Holy Dynasty, now that the rebellious ministers and thieves are rampant, how can Xiaoyou enjoy peace and quiet in the capital? Therefore, please ask the emperor to decree, and the ministers will definitely arrest the rebellious ministers and thieves back to Beijing and hand them over to the emperor for disposal. Qian Xiaoyou walked out of the queue, knelt on one knee and said respectfully.

This time, he must kill Ming Tao and Mu Yunqiao all to avenge the humiliation and loss of his wife and children. At the same time, he also wants to kill Yin Xinlian's current husband and recapture Xinlian and Anping again. Thinking of these, Qian Xiaoyou was even more determined to lead the troops to the battle.

"But......" Mingyun was in a dilemma when he heard Qian Xiaoyou's words, he really didn't want Qian Xiaoyou to lead the troops, but did he have a good reason to stop Qian Xiaoyou. If he does it too clearly, I am afraid that all the officials present will suspect him.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that there is no more suitable candidate for leading troops in the entire Great Holy Dynasty than Hou Ye." Zuo Xiang walked out of the queue and saluted Mingyun.

"But...... I heard that Qian Aiqing has been neglecting her family and children for a long time because she is busy with official business, if Hou Ye leads the troops to leave again, I wonder if Hou Ye's family will agree? Unable to think of a better excuse, Myeongyoon suddenly thought of Quiet, who often appeared in the palace.

"How can the Weichen family be compared with the emperor's eternal foundation, the emperor can rest assured, Weichen will not be entrusted by the emperor, and he will definitely do his best to ensure the safety of my Great Holy Dynasty." Qian Xiaoyou said more sincerely.

"Qian Aiqing's loyalty can be learned, and I am extremely pleased that the Great Holy Dynasty has such loyal ministers." Mingyun nodded and looked at Qian Xiaoyou and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, saving soldiers is like fighting fire, please give an order to the emperor and let the Hou Ye send troops immediately." Zuo Xiang said again. If no one stops King Yan's army, I am afraid that this country will change hands, and all their calculations will be in vain. And Qian Xiaoyou is now their only hope. It's not just because he is inferior to others, but I want Ming Tao and Mu Yunqiao to lose everything more than him.

"Alright! Since everyone thinks that Qian Aiqing is suitable for leading troops, I naturally will not object, but now I don't know how many soldiers and horses Qi Bingwen still has, and now I will give Anshanhou another 200,000 troops and set off in half a month. After looking down and thinking about it, Mingyun said loudly. Half a month is already his biggest procrastination ability, and after half a month, the sky and the earth have frozen, which is naturally not suitable for marching, and it is also an obstacle for Qian Xiaoyou and others.

"Your Majesty ......" Zuo Xiang wanted to say more, but seeing that Ming Yun had made up his mind, but if they just waited for some time, they could still wait.

"I know that Zuo Xiang is worried about Sheji, but this is not the best time to send troops. I also hope that our army can be victorious, but we can't just hope for it, and we have to take care of all the luggage and food that all the soldiers have prepared for the trip. We can't let our army freeze to death and starve to death before they reach King Yan. And the armies of all stripes are still far away. If you want to transfer all of them to the capital, it can't be done in a short time, by the way, do you think it's better for us to let the soldiers support Qi Bingwen? Seeing that Zuo was the opposite, Mingyun said to everyone with a smile.

"The emperor is benevolent!" As soon as Ming Yun finished speaking, all the civil and military officials saluted at the same time.

"Since everyone has no objections, retreat!" Hearing everyone's words, Mingyun sneered and said to everyone. Mingyun didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he left the main hall. It really scared him to death just now, and it's really a terrible thing to fight wits with these old monsters.

"Your Majesty, where are we going now?" Shu Tai walked behind Mingyun and asked with a smile. He is not a fool, he can see some things clearly, and he can guess one or two about the emperor's thoughts, so he can naturally guess the reason why the emperor is unhappy. It's just that a lot of the time, he's just a minion who can only watch and can't help anything.

"Where to go? Where else can I go now? Without looking back, Ming Yun looked at the white clouds floating in the distance, and said bitterly: "The queen is going to give birth in the next few days, I will go and see the queen." Now only the queen and his soon-to-be-born child can give him a little comfort, and as for what the future holds, he himself does not know.

"Yes! Swing Renxian Palace! Shu Tai said to the two rows of palace maids and eunuchs who followed him.

Ma Yu sat quietly in the room making a small dress, which was prepared for her soon-to-be-born child, although these things did not need her own hands, but she always wanted to make something for the child by herself. She thought, this is probably mother's love! Every mother wants the best for her child.

"The emperor has arrived!" Just when Ma Yujing was carefully comparing the size of her clothes, Shu Tai's shout suddenly came from the door of Renxian Palace, which made Ma Yujing even happier.

"The concubines greet the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Just as Mingyun walked into the front hall, Ma Yujing stood up and saluted Mingyun. Although Ming Yun repeatedly asked her not to salute him, but now that there are many more women in this palace, they are all there to watch her every move as a queen, so she naturally wants to set an example.

"The queen is flat." Reaching out to help Ma Yujing, Mingyun and Ma Yujing sat on the chair next to her. Now Ma Yujing's abdomen is high and bulging, seeing such Ma Yujing makes Ming Yun happy and a little sad at the same time.

This child should have been the most noble person in the world, but because he had an incompetent and naïve father, he was about to face the danger of losing a qiē before he came to this world.

"Get out, all of you! Be on guard, you can't let anyone into this courtyard without the order of the palace and the emperor. Although Mingyun's expression was no different from before, the careful Ma Yujing still found that there was something wrong with Mingyun today.

"Yes, sissy! The slave and maid retired. The six palace maids who had been guarding the house saluted Ming Yun and Ma Yu quietly, and then left the room directly, and the last palace maid carefully closed the door when she left.

"Your Majesty, what's going on?" After all the palace maids walked away, Ma Yujing held Mingyun's 7 hands and asked.

"It's not those people, those things." patting Ma Yujing's hand, Ming Yun smiled bitterly and said, "Does Jing'er regret being my queen?"

"The concubine never regrets it, and I believe our children will not regret it either." Smiling slightly, Ma Yujing said as she stroked her abdomen with one hand.

"With you here, I don't care anymore." Hearing Ma Yujing's answer, Ming Yun smiled, with them, fame, fortune, and status are really not so important.

"Being able to follow the emperor is very happy, and the concubines and children are very happy." Gently leaning her body into Mingyun's arms, Ma Yujing said softly.

She is probably the only one in this world who knows what Ming Yun is really worried about and what he has planned, but she has no intention of dissuading her, because she can see that Ming Yun is very painful to sit on the throne, and since he doesn't like the one qiē here, she naturally doesn't like it either.
