On the third day, Zhu Xiaofeng finally sent someone to find me to enter the palace, but the person he sent surprised me a little - it was Huang Yifei.

It turned out that Huang Yifei was always relieved that Zhu Xiaofeng was not at ease, and not long after I left, he left a complete set of four groups of bound guards to protect Shi Cundao, and he rushed to the capital with the rest of the people, but he got a report halfway through, saying that Zhu Xiaofeng had turned the crisis into safety, and they were a little relieved, and they slowed down their speed, and arrived in Beijing yesterday.

When the first time he arrived at the Shuai Mansion, there was no one in his eyes, of course, at best, it can also be called high-spirited, and now Huang Yifei's hometown is only alone, I saw that he was always a little depressed, and comforted him: "Brother Huang, don't always take the brothers' affairs to heart, this time fortunately, nothing went wrong with the emperor, how can the Shenwei be the emperor's favorite troops, there will always be a day when it will be rebuilt." ”

Huang Yifei sighed heavily and said, "How easy is it to rebuild? Bound Shenwei not only has to be one of the elites in a thousand, but also has to go through a long period of training and running-in, and it is not that 4 people can be successfully formed into a group, sometimes after a year or two of experiments, it is found that these 4 people can not match, everything has to start all over again, its hardships can be known, and today's Bound Shenwei is in name only. In the end, he said hatefully, "In short, the Gu family's father and son are really hateful, but it's a pity that I can't kill them with my own hands!" ”

I had no choice but to come up with an idea: "Then Gu Yi can't stand the toss when he is old, but Gu Debiao is still young, even if you beat him up and get angry, the emperor won't blame you, right?" "There are also my personal grievances in this, to be honest, I was very annoyed when I saw that Gu Debiao.

Huang Yifei said: "The father and son of the Gu family are closely guarded in the supervision yuan, and it is difficult for others to see them, and all the interrogations are carried out by the emperor himself. ”

I was surprised: "Don't you have the right to interrogate either?" ”

Huang Yifei shook his head and said: "The emperor is very attentive to these two people, as if he has obtained some important information from them. ”

I said, "Sooner or later, when they repay their debts, Brother Huang doesn't need to worry." ”

Huang Yifei smiled bitterly: "Don't talk about this, the emperor said that there is something important to discuss with you, let's go." ”

The two of us rode into the imperial city, and Gonggong Li was waiting outside the council hall, and when he saw me, he smiled and said, "Lord Shi, the emperor has been waiting for you in the bamboo tower for a long time." ”

"Lord Shi, are you calling me?"

"Who else but you? This is what the emperor personally promised, so the slave should congratulate you in advance. ”

I smiled and said, "Although the emperor said so, since you haven't fulfilled it, it's not appropriate for you to call it so, right?" ”

Gonggong Li was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile on his face: "The young general has learned a lesson recently, so after the title is officially decided, the slave will be rewarded." ”

With the identity of Gonggong Li, others can't find a way to bribe, and he is naturally not asking you for silver, the main purpose is actually to set almost, I smiled: "Hey, then it doesn't need to be said, I can't take it without it." ”

"The slave thanked me first." He led me and Huang Yifei into the bamboo forest, Huang Yifei waited downstairs as usual, I went upstairs and entered the bamboo pavilion alone, Zhu Xiaofeng was standing in front of the window with his back to me, and when he heard the footsteps, he turned around and said, "Brother Xian, sit down." His eyes were bloodshot, apparently from overwork in the past few days, but his expression was quite excited, and he seemed to have a full stomach full of questions to discuss.

I picked up the teapot and poured myself a cup: "Is it urgent for the emperor to come to me?" ”

Zhu Xiaofeng sat opposite me and said, "Wrong, this matter is in a hurry." ”

“…… What's that? ”

"Let's tell me about the front line, you've fought the Haggis many times, what do you know about them?"

"I don't know what you're asking?"

"Just say what about their soldiers?"

I said, "The Hagis are known for their bravery and aggressiveness. ”

Zhu Xiaofeng nodded and said, "From the perspective of personal quality, is it stronger than the people of our Honglie Empire?" ”

"That's not true, it's just that the surname is ruthless, and the sense of honor and discipline is very strong."

"Oh? From what point can you tell? ”

I thought for a moment and said: "Take the battle between me and the Bound Guards as an example, there were 50,000 soldiers in Hegis at that time, and their main general bluntly said that he would send them to death, these soldiers actually did not have the slightest fear, if it wasn't for their generals who changed their minds later, these people would rush forward knowing that they would die, and there would be no hesitation, which is terrifying!" ”

Zhu Xiaofeng frowned and said, "Are you saying that our soldiers can't do this?" ”

I said, "Yes, but not so calmly, at least there will be resentment, but there was no emotional change in the soldiers of Haggis from beginning to end." ”

Zhu Xiaofeng said: "So our people are still not as strong as the Heggis people?" ”

I scratched my head and said: "No, how to say it, it's not that our Hong Liejun hasn't won against Hejis, and they are brave and willing to live and die, but their emotions will be ** and low, there will be joy and fear, compared to Hejis, I think our people are more like people." ”

Suddenly there was a humane outside the window: "Amitabha, General Xiao Shi's words are to the point - our people are more like people!" With the voice, the ink models walked in, and I hurriedly stood up.

Shui Mo waved his hand at me and said with a smile: "Lao Wei is a step late, please ask the emperor and General Xiao Shi to forgive me." It turned out that Zhu Xiaofeng also invited ink for this meeting.

Zhu Xiaofeng personally moved a chair for the ink and asked, "What does the master say about this?" ”

Shui Mo said: "The reason why people are called people is because people are happy, frustrated, excited, and afraid, and the Hegis Army can only be called the walking dead, and behind their fierceness and cruelty, there must also be their fatal weakness!" ”

Zhu Xiaofeng said happily: "What weakness? ”

Shui Mo said indifferently: "I don't know for the time being, the old man only knows that only a complete, flesh-and-blood person can be called powerful, and no matter how ferocious the beast is, it can only be brave for a while, and in the end it will either be domesticated by people or die under the trap bow and arrow." ”

Zhu Xiaofeng listened to the ink and seemed to be fighting with him, and his face was full of doubts. I was a little cheerful and said: "Yes, the Hegis are more like beasts, they will be fierce when they encounter weakness, but if you are more fierce than them, they will flee like beasts - once the Hegis army is ruthlessly defeated, it is beyond the reach of our Honglie army." ”

Zhu Xiaofeng laughed: "So Hegis is not invincible." ”

I said, "Hagis was defeated on the border, losing 700,000 people in one fell swoop, and I will say a bastard, even if our Honglie army is defeated, it will never be defeated so badly." ”

Zhu Xiaofeng's eyes lit up and said, "Why, is it because of people's desires?" ”

I said, "No, behind us is Shinshu, you can enter the city." ”

Zhu Xiaofeng: "......"

I sneered: "Of course, it's okay to say what the people want, in fact, I mainly want to say that our Honglie occupies the right place and people, and Hejiyan can be undefeated?" ”

Zhu Xiaofeng said unrelentingly: "What about that day? By the way, the Haggis can see at night, is this true? ”

I said, "It's true, but they don't seem to be taking much advantage of it at the moment." ”

Zhu Xiaofeng continued to ask: "What about their generals?" ”

I was relieved, it turned out that Zhu Xiaofeng came to me to ask these questions, I thought for a while and said: "Among the three coaches of Hejis, I have dealt with Tailang the most, and I can only use the eight words 'conscientious and cunning' to evaluate this person, and he can see that my sword spirit is not effective; Wu Sizhong has nothing to say, his command style is decent, and the most noteworthy thing is Qin Yiwu." ”

Zhu Xiaofeng said: "The intelligence said that he was Ma Jiyue's childhood playmate, and he was only reused because he was invited by the escort, and he was an embroidered pillow." ”

I sighed and said: "Don't forget who gave the previous information - it's all nonsense, I don't know if he is Ma Jiyue's teenage playmate, but it is by no means an embroidered pillow, this person is eclectic, sometimes fierce and sometimes cunning, never talks about superficial skills, never suffers immediate losses, and can bend and stretch, and is the most confusing commander for me." ”

Zhu Xiaofeng clenched his fists and said, "Gu took advantage of this old thief to deceive me so hard. ”

I said, "But I don't think this guy is very old." ”

"Why?"

"This man behaves in a strange way, like a little fox."

Zhu Xiaofeng smiled and said: "The little fox met your grandfather's old fox, and the results of the battle remain to be verified." You've been to Haggis, do you have a general idea of their overall strength? ”

I said, "I have only made a cursory observation, and I can only say that the total strength of Haggis is still above three million. ”

Zhu Xiaofeng raised his forehead and said: "Well, we are not inferior in terms of wisdom and bravery, but we are too far behind in terms of numbers." ”

I said, "There are many people and they eat a lot, and as soon as the Hagis front is opened, they are anxious to fight us, according to the analysis of my grandfather and the generals, they must have a problem with food and grass, and these three million people have no food and grass, and can only run aground like cars without gas." ”

Zhu Xiaofeng and Ink said together: "A car without gas? ”

I gave myself a mouthful: "Oh, it means that it can't be used, it's useless, it's useless." ”

Zhu Xiaofeng didn't delve into it, he changed the topic and said, "What do you think of this alliance with the daughter country?" ”

I blurted out, "It's a good thing, without the daughter country, there would be no previous big victory." ”

"Oh, then what are the characteristics of the soldiers and generals of the daughter country?"

Speaking of this, I was a little excited and said: "The quality of the individual soldiers of the Feifeng Army is very strong, and the overall cooperation and discipline are very good. ”

Zhu Xiaofeng said: "How about the soldiers of Bihejis and my Honglie? ”

I said, "It's obviously a little higher, it's a little bit less." ”

Zhu Xiaofeng said: "The war report said that they lost 40,000 horses in the border battle? ”

I said sadly: "Yes, the daughter country can be said to have done its best to fight against Hagis, which shows that their empress is very sincere. ”

"What kind of person is Zhao Fanghua?"

"The general doesn't know martial arts, but he can be called wise and brave, and his prestige in the army is very high."

Zhu Xiaofeng held the teacup in his hand for a long time and was silent, and said coldly: "Then in your opinion, our Honglie Empire and the Feifeng Army of the Daughter Country are going head-to-head, who has a better chance of winning?" ”

I was taken aback and said, "Your Majesty, this kind of joke can't be made casually!" ”

Zhu Xiaofeng waved his hand and said, "I'm just asking, there are only two big countries in the Federation Continent, and it's normal to weigh and compare with each other." Zhu Xiaofeng then asked, "You have a lot of contact with Su Jing, so how high is her martial arts compared to you?" ”

At this time, I suddenly had a very bad feeling, and said casually: "Su Jing's martial arts are unparalleled in the world, and I will never be able to win against her with her moves." ”

Zhu Xiaofeng glanced at the ink with a smile and said, "Master, how do you feel when you hear this kind of thing?" ”

Shui Mo knew that this was Zhu Xiaofeng complaining about himself, and he said lightly: "The old man has no sword energy, everything is empty talk. ”

Zhu Xiaofeng frowned and said, "This little girl is really so powerful?" Wasn't she seriously injured? ”

I looked at the sky and said, "It's not a serious injury, and it will be healed after a few days." ”

Zhu Xiaofeng got up and said, "Okay, I still have some things to deal with, the master and the virtuous brother are at their own convenience, I will go first." The two of us sent him out of the door, and we looked at each other, both confused.

Shui Mo asked me, "Is General Xiao Shi's sword qi still like that?" ”

I smiled bitterly: "There were traces to follow before, but now there is no law at all, and the day before yesterday I happened to save the emperor, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable." ”

Shui Mo nodded and said: "Lao Qu has been thinking about how to deal with it since General Shi left Beijing last time, it seems that your situation is the only one in Lao Qu's life, which is really rare." ”

My heart was hot, this old monk was worried about this matter when he said goodbye to my barren mountain, these words were really thinking about it, but it seemed that the results were very small, I was busy saying: "Let the master bother." ”

Shui Mo said: "General Xiao Shi doesn't have to be too disappointed, Lao Wei finally reluctantly came up with a far-fetched method according to your situation, and in the future, when you encounter an emergency, you may be able to give it a try." ”

I was surprised and delighted, "You have a solution?" ”

Shui Mo said: "This method is still ineffective, Lao Wei has no sword energy, everything can only be imagined out of thin air, maybe this method will not work from the beginning." ”

I was itchy and said, "Whatever it is, let's try it first, what is the solution?" ”

Shui Mo said: "The problem with General Xiao Shi is that his sword qi is not effective, not that he has no sword qi, in fact, with the strength of your sword qi, no one in the world can match it, but it can only be exerted when they merge into the dantian." ”

"Yes, that's right!"

"This is like a superpower with millions of troops, although the military is strong, but they are all divided into various places to become princes, if the enemy comes to attack, if you happen to be holding a princes' conference, it is naturally invincible, but most of the time, your princes do not listen to the transfer, which has caused you to be so passive everywhere although you have the sword energy of the world."

I clapped my hands and said, "You've described it so well. ”

Shui Mo said: "So there is only one way to solve this problem. ”

"What is it?"

"You yourself become the strongest prince!"

I was stunned and said, "What do you mean?" ”

Shui Mo said slowly: "Your sword qi is all over the body, just like a million male soldiers wandering aimlessly, in the past, if you wanted to command them, you had to gather them in the dantian first, but my method is to let you drift with them, where the soldiers are, where will they be, you yourself are the princes, of course you don't need to wait for them to assemble." ”

I was confused and excited: "So how do you do that?" ”

Ink said: "In fact, to put it simply, it is a different way, so that the eight veins of the Qi meridians of your whole body can be separated from the dantian to establish communication with the sword qi, at that time, the sword qi in the hand will use the sword qi in the hand, and the sword qi will use the sword qi on the foot in the foot, from then on, you use the sword qi from the outside out, and it is no longer from the inside out." ”

I was shocked and said, "Is there such a way?" ”

Shui Mo said: "It's that this method is quite difficult to practice, and there seem to be several big hidden dangers, and Lao Wei is still looking for a way to crack it, so I can't teach you for the time being." ”

My excitement suddenly came to naught, first of all, the old monk also said, whether this method works or not, I have always been respectful of difficult things, if I had a little talent, Su Jing would not have been so difficult when he taught me martial arts, and finally, there are unknown hidden dangers - don't end up making "If you want to practice this skill, you must first go from the palace", right? But after all, this is a hardship of ink painting, and I reluctantly said, "Thank you, Master." ”

Shui Mo smiled and said, "General Xiao Shi, don't worry, Lao Wei will try his best to get this matter done before you leave." ”

"Why do you still call me General Xiao Shi, didn't you just say okay last time, just call me Di Zai."

"Hehe, okay, then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, the old man will have to trespass in the future."

"Don't say that, you're actually like my master."

Shui Mo's face suddenly said solemnly: "But I don't dare!" ”

"Okay, I'm afraid of you, I'll call you master in the future." I really wanted to set this close, but the old monk seemed to have something unspeakable and refused to agree. I said, "Master, what does the emperor think when he sees that the emperor has asked a bunch of nonsense when he brought us here?" "Zhu Xiaofeng was busy meeting me and Shui Mo, I thought there was something big, but I turned over and over again to say something that could be understood in the military newspaper.

Shui Mo smiled a little reluctantly and said: "Di Zai, your sword qi is nowhere to be found, you must know that the emperor's mind is even more unpredictable." ”

……

When I was leaving, Huang Yifei said to me: "The emperor asked me to pass the word on his behalf, and he asked you not to rush back to the front line in the next few days, as if there was something important to discuss with you." "I answered the call and rode back to Shifu on an oolong horse.

I didn't expect to wait for a week, Zhu Xiaofeng never summoned me again, fortunately, the news from the front line continued to come from the imperial court, Hegis did not move, and the four major divisions did nothing new, I was most worried that I was afraid that the mothers would be in a hurry, but it was inconvenient to exchange letters with my daughter alone.

Shi Dong was so busy that he arrived home for the first time that night, I had a brief meal with him, and Shi Dong asked me after the meal: "Di Zai, the emperor has been saying that he wants to discuss things with you, why have these words not moved?" ”

I said, "I wonder what is more important than the front?" ”

Shi Dong said: "In the past few days, the emperor has been secretly interrogating Gu Yi's father and son, and it seems that he has made a major gain. ”

"Oh?" I asked, "Have you achieved any results in besieging the Taishifu?" ”

Shi Dong said: "It's true, we arrested a few of Heggis's spies, and the emperor personally interrogated them, and the emperor seems to be using this line to negotiate something with Hejis." ”

I joked: "The emperor doesn't want to use Gu Yi's father and son to ask for a large ransom from Hejis, right?" ”

Shi Dong said: "Of course it won't be that simple, once Gu Yi's father and son are exposed, they will lose their use value, use them to blackmail Hejis, Ma Jiyue may not be willing to pay a high price, besides, Gu Yu has made our Honglie Empire suffer heavy losses, and the emperor will definitely not let people go." ”

While I was talking, someone outside reported that Huang Yifei had arrived, and I was busy inviting him in, Huang Yifei greeted Shi Fei and said to me: "Young General, the emperor is anxious to see you." ”

I looked at the moonlight outside and wondered, "Now?" ”

"Yes."

"Then let's go."

When I arrived outside the door, I was just about to ask someone to prepare a horse, Huang Yifei said: "The emperor specially asked someone to prepare a sedan chair, let's take that one." ”

I laughed and said, "One of us is in command of a large internal commander and a former left general, what kind of sedan chair do we sit?" ”

Huang Yifei smiled and said: "The emperor always does things unexpectedly, there must be some deep meaning." ”

I won't say more, and Huang Yifei got on the sedan chair separately, and entered the palace at night, this time it was still by the bamboo forest, Gonggong Li waited under the bamboo building, and saw me get off the sedan chair and said with a smile: "The young general will first invite the bamboo tower to have tea, and the emperor will be there immediately." ”

I nodded and raised my feet to go up to the bamboo building, and inadvertently looked down condescendingly, only to see that the bamboo forest was brightly lit, and the newly appointed Praetorian Guards were shuttling and patrolling nearby, and even the guards brought by Huang Yifei were also in it, Zhu Xiaofeng was stabbed once by a human being, probably because he was afraid, I turned around and sat down in the bamboo building. The little eunuch walked in with a tray, and there was a cup of clear tea on the tray, and the little eunuch said: "This is the high-grade tea paid by the country, and ordinary people can't drink it, so please use it slowly." With that, he closed the door and withdrew.

I sat there, Zhu Xiaofeng was waiting left and not coming, and I didn't come to the right, I was bored, I smelled the fragrance of the tea, so I took it up and took a sip, and then drank it all, I just put down the teacup and heard the sound of footsteps on the bamboo floor, I thought it was Zhu Xiaofeng coming, but when I went out to see that it was the little eunuch who sent the tea and ran downstairs. After waiting for a while, Zhu Xiaofeng finally appeared, he glanced at me, and said, "Brother Xian, have you been bored these days?" ”

I smiled and said, "Boredom is sometimes a good thing, and when the war is over, I'd rather be so bored forever - what did the emperor ask me for?" ”

Zhu Xiaofeng's face was excited, and he suddenly slapped the table and said, "I thought of what kind of king I should crown you!" ”

I laughed, "That's it?" Then what kind of king is the emperor going to crown me? ”

Zhu Xiaofeng stared at my eyes and said slowly: "Daughter King! ”

"Huh?" I was taken aback and said, "What does the emperor mean?" ”

Zhu Xiaofeng sat across the table from me and said loudly: "I have decided, attack the daughter country first, and when the country is broken, you will naturally be the king of the daughter country!" ”

I stood up and said, "Your Majesty, you're not joking, are you?" ”

"Do you think I'm joking?"

"And what about Haggis?"

"I want to unite with Hegis and work together to capture the daughter country, and I and Gu Yi have been discussing this matter in the past few days!"

At this moment, I only felt a mess in my mind, and I couldn't help but clench my fists and say: "This is absolutely not good, I don't agree!" ”

Zhu Xiaofeng's eyes burned and said, "Why don't you agree?" ”

I gritted my teeth and said, "Let's not talk about whether Hegis can be trusted, my daughter Guosheng sent troops to help us, isn't it unconscionable for you to do this?" ”

Zhu Xiaofeng said coldly: "No poison is not a husband, how can a person who has become a great business since ancient times care about small sections?" ”

I exclaimed, "But this is not a subsection! ”

Zhu Xiaofeng snorted and said, "Don't tell me anything trivial, but I know why you refuse to fight your daughter's country." ”

"Why?"

Zhu Xiaofeng said word by word: "Because you are not Shi Dizai at all, am I right, Dragon Sword God?" ”……
