After receiving the letter of state issued by Northern Qi, the Emperor Qingguo's attitude became resolute.

General Duan did not go to the border in person, and Major General Duan wanted to go but was also stopped.

Just when the emperor was still sulking because of the national letter, Qing Shui suddenly came to report that the intelligence line of the Northern Qi State had been opened.

"Your Majesty, I don't know why, the intelligence line suddenly opened, and now the news is being widely received. However, there has been no news from the Northern Qi Palace. Your Majesty, do you think this matter is very strange? ”

There is no need for Qing Shui to say, the emperor naturally knows. How could the intelligence line, which had not been opened for so many years before, become so easy all of a sudden, unless someone deliberately released the news. But if it's really a deliberate message, then this move is too obvious, like,

"A trap."

The emperor said to himself, and Qing Shui looked at the emperor incomprehensibly.

"If sometimes you feel like things are getting easier, then it's probably a trap you're experiencing."

Qing Shui seemed to understand this, but Qing Shui then asked,

"So what could this trap be? For what? ”

The emperor can't answer this question, because he is also asking this question. He wanted to ask himself, he wanted to ask others, he wanted to ask the person who had set this trap. Why, exactly, who.

The emperor fell into deep thought, and Qing Shui also lowered his head and did not speak. Qing Shui blamed himself for the case in his heart, he couldn't help the emperor, and he brought his troubles to the emperor. He knew that his ability was very insufficient, and compared to his elder brother Qing Shui, he was much inferior in both martial arts and intelligence. But eleven years ago, Qing Shui had already died at that time in order to protect the emperor, and his last breath before dying was to get rid of the emperor and must keep Qing Shui by his side to protect Qing Shui.

Qing Shui's deep sense of guilt and inferiority complex The emperor knows it, and if it was normal, he would persuade Qing Shui a little. But today, the emperor has been in deep thought, and he was somewhat carried away by anger, and the United States and Europe noticed the changes in Qingshui. In the end, he just waved his hand and told Qing Shui to leave.

From that night on, the emperor slept in the imperial study. He never went back to the dormitory and the palace of any concubine.

Since then, the Northern Qi Kingdom has also not sent any news. But three or four days later, the general Lin who was mentioned in the national letter had already arrived in front of the emperor.

The emperor's elite army, after fighting in the north, went all the way south to the border of Qingguo. The first day of arrival at the border. General Lin, the general of this elite army, handed over the matter of settling down and resting to his subordinates, and quietly dressed himself and quietly entered Qingguo with a few casual subordinates.

Several of them moved very quickly, but they were not in a hurry, and they stopped and stopped all the way. When General Duan received the news and sent his men and horses, this General Lin had already arrived at the root of the imperial city of Qingguo.

"Your Excellency. Where should we go? Let's dress up like this, there shouldn't be a way to directly meet the emperor of Qingguo. ”

Vice General Lin smiled,

"Naturally, I can't see it, but we are dressed like this just to save time for convenience, and we don't mean to."

"What should we do, my lord?"

They've been here for a day and are a little familiar with the environment. General Lin didn't speak, just walked by himself, and the people behind him naturally followed. After a while, General Lin stopped.

"We'll need to get someone to help."

The right place where they stopped was where the officials went to work. Baiguantang.

"My lord, this is the place, we can't get in."

General Lin's men had just said such a sentence, and then the guards who were standing in front of the gate of the Baiguantang shouted to them,

"Alas, those people over there, what are you doing, don't go away quickly!"

General Lin's subordinates were so angry that they were about to pull out their swords. Only then did the guards see that these people were holding swords in their hands, and hurriedly called a group of guards.

General Lin glanced at a few people reproachfully. The men immediately put their swords back on their waists. But the guards were already cautiously approaching them.

"Tell me what a few of you do, a few of you are big soldiers who can only fight and can't use their brains."

General Lin said this at this time, but the pair of guards had already surrounded several people. One of the guards, who looked like the leader, stepped forward,

"I don't know where they came from. What to do sometimes. It's just that this is a place where Qingguo officials deal with official business, and I ask a few people not to get in the way, and leave here as soon as possible. ”

The team leader looked a few people up and down as he said this.

General Lin smiled, stepped forward, saluted the guards, and then said to the leader,

"Misunderstandings and misunderstandings are misunderstandings. A few of us didn't have the heart to get in the way, but we did have something to do, and we didn't know the way, so we came here, hoping that the official would help us. ”

One of the guards standing next to the leader laughed,

"It's really funny, there are more people who want to do things every day, and there are more people who don't know the way, so there are still a few of you. Will the official help you? The official is also something you can see? ”

When the guard said this, the guards who were guarding them all laughed.

A few people around General Lin were not popular, and put their hands on the sword again. They squinted a little at General Lin, and when they saw that General Lin didn't say anything, they quietly pulled their swords out of their scabbards.

General Lin was not angry when he heard this, but he knew the temper of the several big-headed soldiers behind him. He had already seen several people quietly draw their swords, and thought that it was better to end this matter quickly. General Lin put his hand in his sleeve and wanted to take out the official document and national credentials to prove his identity, and he quickly met the emperor to prove his identity.

The leader of the escort was someone who had really been on the battlefield, and he felt a different atmosphere from the few people in front of him. After careful observation, I found that these people had calluses on their hands, and new scars could even be seen on their necks and arms, so they felt that they should not be simple people. The particular speaker is more unfathomable than the others.

So when General Lin put his hand into his sleeve, he panicked and unexpectedly took out his sword at General Lin.

General Lin was taking something from his sleeve when the leader's sword suddenly attacked, and the speed was extremely fast. In the words of ordinary people, this sword must not be able to dodge, or it must be blocked with an arm, and I don't want General Lin to dodge it lightly.

The team leader panicked, but more panicked things were still to come.

The few people behind General Lin saw that the other party had already made a move, so they also drew their swords. After the confrontation between the two sides, that is, in the blink of an eye, all the guards fell, and only the leader was still standing. The rest of the guards also rushed to help when something happened, but dozens of people couldn't reach these four or five people at all. Soon, there were many wounded people and even corpses lying in front of the Baiguantang. There is no way, several people are people who have just experienced the battlefield, and they are extremely ruthless.

General Lin did not stop or speak, watching quietly, or dodging. There is no mercy for the fallen person, and there is even a trace of disgust in his eyes. (To be continued.) )
