Lin Jue didn't speak with a cold face.

The northwest is far away from Kyoto, and she has no way of knowing what the situation in the Hayashi Mansion is now, and whether the blame for Vika has been solved, but as long as she has a day, the world will never be peaceful.

"I think the county lord seems to have misunderstood what he meant just now." , The contract man looked at Lin Jue who was puffing up, and a faint smile appeared on his lips, "What I mean below is that the northwest has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times, and war is inevitable." Since the county lord already knows that General Nangong is not in the northwest, for safety reasons, it is better to return to Kyoto as soon as possible. ”

"Is Kyoto safe?"

Lin Jue glanced at him angrily, he didn't have a backache when he stood and talked.

"With Vika here, I'm afraid it's more dangerous than here, right?"

"What are you talking about, so happy?"

Ling Mo walked over.

The stamina of the wine had already risen, and those military attachés gradually began to fall asleep, although the snoring was a little noisy, but Ling Mo was able to get rid of the annoying toast at least temporarily.

"I'm persuading the county lord to return to Beijing early."

The contractor said with a smile.

"This place in the northwest is not really able to relax."

Lin Jue admitted that what he said made some sense, but it was reasonable, she still couldn't leave the Northwest City now, Nangong Yi's whereabouts hadn't been figured out, and she hadn't even figured out why he had disappeared, in this case, how could she leave?

"I didn't expect the third prince to think about others......"

Ling Mo cast a meaningful glance at him.

"It's not for her." The contractor immediately denied Ling Mo's point of view, "I just think. The Tartars have not yet been completely cleaned up, and one day they may sneak up on each other and engage the other side in battle. Leaving a female streamer here will inevitably get in the way. ”

"What's in my way?!"

Lin Jue instantly exploded. The little affection for the contractor that had just been established disappeared in an instant.

At this moment, a drunken military attache came over with a wine glass, and when he saw Ling Mo, he pounced directly, grabbed his shoulders and said, "Your Highness, look." Our men in the northwest are all characters who are not afraid of heaven and earth, and Tartar is a thing, as long as we want. It's going to beat them up to the ground! ”

It seems that Ji Li's rhetoric has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is estimated that the soldiers of the entire Northwest City are fluttering that they only need to use a little force to fight with the Tartars. You can win big.

There's nothing wrong with being confident. But if you are too blindly confident, it will become a little sick.

"Ridiculous! You're all nested in the city, and of course you'll find it easy to fight the Tartars! ”

Liu Man, who had been silent, finally couldn't help but speak, since Nangong Yi disappeared, Ji Li's old fox transferred all his own native soldiers back from the front line under various pretexts, and now those who are outside are all soldiers of the Guanbei battalion, and it turns out that none of the native soldiers in the northwest need to fight the enemy on the front line. Of course, I felt relaxed.

Seeing that someone refuted, the military attache looked up in some surprise. But after finding out that it was Liu Man, there was a disdainful expression on his face, and he sneered, "Isn't your Guanbei camp known as invincible in the world?" Since we are invincible in the world, we can't rob you of your credit. I can entrust you with the task of defending, that is to look up to you! ”

"Thank you so much for being able to afford it!"

Liu Man took two steps forward and glared at him.

"What? Liu Jingluo: Does this have an opinion on us? ”

The military attache did not back down at all with the strength of the wine. Faintly seems to want to do something to him.

The two of them didn't let anyone, and the atmosphere was a little stiff for a while.

Seeing this, Ling Mo quietly pulled Liu Man away and said softly, "Forget it, what's there to fight with a drunk person." ”

"It's just too deceitful!"

Liu was angry.

"Humph! I'm just bullying you, what? Do you still want to go to His Majesty's place to join us? ”

The military attache squinted at him, a smug look on his face.

Everyone present knew that because of the difficult conditions on the frontier, generally speaking, in order to stabilize the hearts of those soldiers guarding the frontier, even if there were ministers involved, as long as it did not involve the issue of imperial power, the emperor would not order punishment lightly.

And the words of this military attache also represent the thoughts of the vast number of border soldiers, they can act recklessly, as long as they do not violate the emperor's bottom line, they can do anything.

"Okay, okay, everyone's drunk, each of them is going to calm down, they are all their own people, what kind of system is it to quarrel like this?"

Ling Mo quietly stretched out his hand and pulled the stalemate two apart.

However, before he could exert much force, the military attache himself put down his glass and staggered out. Most of the reasons that can make a drunk person put down their glass are because there are physical problems that need to be addressed.

Thinking that this Deputy General Li was probably in a hurry to go out to relieve his hands, Ling Mo suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hey, what the world's first hero, I think it's the world's first bear! Isn't it just a few Tartars who scare themselves all day long?! ”

The military attache cursed and muttered to himself as he staggered out.

"With such a high self-esteem, something will happen sooner or later!" Ling Mo looked at his back and said in a cold voice with some concern.

The soldiers are the most jealous of arrogance and conceit, but the soldiers in the northwest city, from the top to the military attaché, are all arrogant and fatal, and it is difficult to avoid accidents in the long run.

"Shouldn't Your Highness be pleased?" , but the contractor on the side quipped, "It's better to think very highly of yourself than to be arrogant, right?" ”

Ling Mo glanced at him angrily, and asked in a light tone, "How can you see it?" ”

"Actually, if you really want to talk about it, you can only blame yourself." As he spoke, the contractor poured himself a glass of goat's milk wine, brought the wine glass to his face, took a leisurely sip, and then raised his head and continued, "His Majesty the Emperor has sent the most brave and warlike Guanbei battalion to come to the rescue, so what do they have to worry about, anyway, they have a share in the victory, and you Guanbei battalion will be counted as you in the defeat battle, with such a good thing of killing two birds with one stone, a fool will go to the front line to kill the enemy desperately!?" ”

"My father is also a good ...... for the great cause"

"Since there are already so many defenders in the northwest, plus the allies of our Rakshasa country, so many people are gathered, can't they be worth a few Tartars?"

As he spoke, the contract man glanced at Ling Mo meaningfully, and his heterochromatic eyes shone with an inescapable light, as if he had seen through it.

Looking at him, Lin Jue suddenly felt a little worried, if this person was allowed to become the next monarch of the Rakshasa Kingdom, it would be a great cause...... But there is one more fierce opponent.

"Didn't His Royal Highness the Sixth Highness think that when the troops in the northwest were already so sufficient, why did His Majesty the Emperor suddenly let General Nangong lead the Guanbei Battalion all the way here with great fanfare? You know, as soon as General Nangong leaves, the imperial city will be empty......"

As he spoke, the contractor continued to drink the goat's milk wine leisurely, and then observed the ever-changing expression on Ling Mo's face with great interest.

Everyone knows that half of Daye's military power is in the hands of Nangong Yi, and Nangong Yi's military power is divided into three parts. The Qijia Army in the southeast sea, the Miao Army on the southwest border, and the Guanbei Battalion near Kyoto, among them, the largest share, the strongest troops, and the most complete weapons are the Guanbei Battalion stationed on the outskirts of Kyoto.

As soon as the Kanbei camp left, the only troops in Kyoto were left with the Five Cities Terracotta Division and some Praetorian Guards, these people were okay to maintain law and order normally, but if they really encountered someone plotting against them, if they had any wrong thoughts, they couldn't resist it at all.

However, why did Emperor Zhaoyang do this?

There's no reason for him to put himself in such a dangerous situation, right?

The only reason is—

The person who proposed to let Nangong Yi lead the troops to the northwest was not Emperor Zhaoyang himself, but someone who blew the wind in his ears and made him make this decision!

Thinking of this, Lin Jue raised his head suddenly, and sure enough, he saw that Ling Mo's face also showed a frightened look.

Now there are only two people who can blow the wind in the ears of Emperor Zhaoyang, Hongyuan and Concubine Yin. And the two celebrities in front of the emperor are both from the four princes! If it is calculated in this way, then Nangong Yi ......

Nangong Yi's disappearance is mostly related to the four princes!

After straightening it out, the seemingly ordinary things before were all connected, first mentioning to Emperor Zhaoyang to let Nangong Yi go to the northwest, and then setting up an ambush in the northwest to make Nangong Yi disappear......

Nangong Yi left, and the six princes were ordered to go to the northwest to reward the soldiers, and there was only one powerless fifth prince left in Kyoto, and the troops were insufficient, and Emperor Zhaoyang's side was also vacant. And at this time, no matter what the four princes wanted to do, no one could stop them.

No, he may be more desperate and think more long-term.

Perhaps, the Tartars will suddenly launch an attack on the great cause, and it will have nothing to do with these four princes.

"Did you think of it?"

The contractor continued to be light and breezy.

"Sixth Highness, if there is nothing to do, it is better to go back to Beijing earlier, right? It's not been a good day lately, and if you go back late, you might be in the middle of a heavy rain. ”

"What about Nangong Yi?"

Lin Jue was flustered in his heart, and he couldn't take care of it.

The battle for imperial power has nothing to do with her, she only cares about Nangong Yi.

"I don't know."

For the first time, the contract's eyes showed uncertain feelings.

At the beginning, he thought that Nangong Yi had really left the northwest to carry out the emperor's secret order, but later found out that this was not the case at all. Then he thought that Nangong Yi's disappearance was the hand of Empress Yang, but it turned out that it was not the case.

Excluding other factors, now that I think about it, the most likely person to do it is the four princes, but Nangong Yi is not only strong in martial arts, but also suspicious by nature, ordinary people don't even have a chance to get close, how did the four princes who were far away in Kyoto do it?

"Really?"

Lin Jue glanced at the contract husband deeply, and didn't fully believe what he said, did he really not know, or was he involved in this matter at all?

At this moment, a person suddenly rushed in from outside, panicked, as if he had seen a ghost. (To be continued.) )
