"Is your father finally going to die? It's just a pity that it didn't die at my hands. This was the first thing Li You heard after seeing Xia Yunsheng.

He also knew the grievances and hatred between his aunt and his father, but he didn't expect his aunt to still hate his father so much in his heart. He knelt in front of Xia Yunshang and begged, "Auntie, please save your father!" ”

Xia Yunshang shook his head coldly: "It's late, he has been poisoned, and there is no help." Presumably, this is all the ghost of Concubine Yu and Duan Ziyan. ”

"Duan Ziyan?" Li You was shocked, "You mean the Yan family's housewife?" ”

"Naturally, it's her. Concubine Yu is just a person installed by the Yan family. You'er, although I hate your father very much, I truly treat you as my own son. Xia Yunshang helped Li You up.

"As soon as your father dies, Jingtang will inevitably be in chaos, the Murong family or the king is not to be afraid, you have to be careful of the Yan family, remember to keep an eye on the Yan family, once the Yan family has any trouble, don't be soft-hearted. Rong'er's pain was also given by the Yan family, don't forget! ”

Xia Yunshang took out another iron black seed, which looked very ordinary, and there were no patterns. However, her expression was very solemn: "Put this away, and be sure to give it to Zhirong." Neither the palace nor your palace is a safe place. ”

"Auntie, this is" Li You wondered why Xia Yunsheng's expression was so strict, this box must be unusual.

"If you still believe your aunt, do as I say. Now that the Yan family can't take care of the northern border, it is the best time to send things in. ”

Li You took the box, "Auntie, since the palace is no longer safe. If you go back with me, at least I can protect you. Although there are secret guards here, it is still too dangerous. If you are discovered, the Jade Concubine will not let you go. ”

"She's something!" Xia Yunsheng looked contemptuous and disdainful, "I can't go." There is one more of my enemies who must die at my hands, and I will wait for her to come. ”

Li You knew that she was referring to Duan Ziyan, but if she really had a ruthless character like Duan Ziyan, where would she have any chance of winning? "Auntie!"

"You'er, I've made up my mind. The grievances of the previous generation have affected you and Rong'er, and I am very sad and guilty. Even if I can't kill her, I'm going to see her. ”

Xia Yunshang remembered the scene when her beloved died in her arms that night, and remembered that when she and Duan Ziyan called each other sisters, she also took a cup of tea that Duan Ziyan poured herself. That woman as beautiful as Manzhu Sawa is the most ruthless person in Xia Yunsheng's life.

Even if he doesn't have the ability to kill Duan Ziyan. Then if Duan Ziyan goes to hell in the future. She's going to go with her, too. destroyed her soul, so that she could not be reborn. This is Xia Yunsheng's will, and no one can change it.

As the weather gradually improved, some tribes on the Dongyue grassland began to be restless, and Cao Zhen would give them some gold and grain in previous years, so there was no invasion. Since Zhirong seized the Golden City, Dongyue has become more and more dissatisfied, so he has invaded the border towns in the east of Ming City from time to time. The local people had to move into the city.

However, this is not the way after all, after all, Mingcheng has limited places, and more and more people are escaping. It was also difficult to tell if there were spies mixed in, so Zhirong couldn't bear it anymore, the Shen family army had been able to fight with all its might, and she started a new round of conscription. Shen Jiajun reached 60,000 troops in a few days.

She first sent 10,000 veterans of the Shen family army to the border to expel the men and horses of those tribes, and organized the training of recruits in the city. Fortunately, Jin Zixuan was by his side to help, and it went very smoothly.

Since Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhirong and Jin Zixuan have been close friends. Combat partners are interdependent. She attaches great importance to the livelihood of the people and the opening of the people's wisdom, and Jin Zixuan helps her manage and train the army. The two cooperated very tacitly, so that some people in the city thought that they were husband and wife.

After all, Zhirong did not learn military affairs from an early age. So during this time, whenever she had time, she would discuss some famous wars with Jin Zixuan in the past dynasties, she listened carefully to his analysis, and carefully studied the problems of the sand table battle that Jin Zixuan gave her.

She didn't do this because she didn't embroider anymore, but because she wanted to protect the people she wanted to protect. can really fight, some of the previous wars were helped by Jin Zixuan, and many were by luck. Just like when she captured Mingzhou, if she didn't have those beasts, she might not have been so smooth.

However, the god of luck may not always favor you, if you don't have real combat strength, sooner or later there will be big problems, so Zhirong almost studied day and night. Jin Zixuan was helpless, he knew what she was thinking, and he also wanted to say that I was here for every qiē, and there was no need for you to work hard. However, it has not been said after all.

Zhirong has his own pride and clear goals, whether as a person who loves her or a bosom friend, he should not restrict her thoughts and freedom.

Jin Zixuan also told her about the letter, but Zhirong was grateful and looked at Nanfang like ashes: "Even if he didn't write it, he still chose someone else, the news of his marriage to the princess of Tianzebu has come out, and this time it can't be faked." ”

However, just when Zhirong cleared the small tribes on the border, news came from the west, and there were also people who caused turmoil there, and Jin Zixuan, as the king of the north, had to go back in person to quell the chaos. So the two will be separated again.

On this day, Zhirong sent him ten miles outside the city, Jin Zixuan smiled and said: "If you say no matter what, you will arrive at the general state capital, that kid Wenyu has always wanted to meet us, and he must be very welcome to us." ”

Zhirong glanced at him, and at this time he still had the heart to joke. "You must be careful, you must remember to write me a letter packet safely."

"It turns out that you care about me so much, I can't bear to leave." Jin Zixuan stepped forward with a smile and joked.

"I'm worried about food. Otherwise, if the west is lost, there will be no hope for food in the east! I'm all relying on you, the king of the north. Zhirong gently pushed him away, and said secretly in his heart: In front of so many people, this bastard boy has begun to be indecent again.

Jin Zixuan looked up to the sky and sighed: "It seems that I am not as good as those grains in Commander Bai's heart, don't worry, I will definitely snatch them back for you." What's more, whoever dares to touch my Jin Zixuan's things, then he must be impatient. ”

"I believe in you." Zhirong no longer joked with him, but was unusually strict: "No matter what." Your own life is the most important thing! ”

"You are the same, the Dongyue Grassland Royal Court will definitely not give up. Cao Zhen is still there, he must want to take the city back. We must be ruthless in dealing with Dongyue. Otherwise, you will suffer a big loss. ”

Jin Zixuan felt that he had a thousand words to say. But time waits for no one, he must hurry back to the west, and the two can only separate after caring for each other.

Shen Qing looked at the two intently and sighed, "Why don't you be together?" ”

Sheng Hongyu chuckled: "Then you have to like each other." As he spoke, he glanced at Shen Heng.

Shen Heng didn't hear it, Sheng Hongyu had long been thinking about him, he knew, but recently Shen Qing somehow seemed to be different from him before. He didn't hate Shen Qing, and even liked it, but he still wondered if it was love.

After sending Jin Zixuan away, Zhirong began to arrange a strategy for attacking Dongyue, and according to the Great Elder, the treasure of the Shen family was also in Dongyue. Zhirong felt that the ancestors of the Shen family were really powerful, and they had hidden themselves in the grasslands of other people's homes.

However, several discussions did not result in a good strategy. Zhirong didn't think about tea and dinner day and night. I looked at the map of East Vietnam all day long, but to no avail.

"Lord, I have caught a spy." When Zhirong was deducing the sand table, Jin Shi came in to pray. Behind her was a woman who was covered in dirt and mess at the bottom of the mountain.

If you usually look at her, you will think that she is a beggar, but when Zhirong looks at her, she sees that some kind of crystal light is brighter than the stars in the night sky, and the hatred hidden in the depths of her eyes is deeper than that of Hantan. She is definitely not an ordinary woman.

"What's your name?" Zhirong's cold eyes stared at her tightly.

The woman's sharp eyes looked Zhirong up and down: "You are Bai Zhirong?" She thought that the legendary Grimace Commander would be a ruthless character, but she didn't expect it to be a weak woman. She felt a deep sense of loss.

And this look was captured by Zhirong, "You are disappointed in me? Who the hell are you? "It's not easy to tell Sù Zhirong directly about this woman's identity.

"Suyala, the princess of the wild fox tribe of the Dongyue steppe." As he spoke, he tore off one of his sleeves, revealing a red birthmark: "This is the birthmark that only the royal family of my Firefox tribe will inherit." No one can fake it! I am the only princess of the Firefox tribe. ”

"Lord, as far as my subordinates know, only those in the Firefox tribe who have a birthmark can inherit the throne, and she should be the next heir of the Firefox tribe." Jin Shi spoke excitedly, but saw Zhirong coming over in a daze, carefully observing Su Yala's birthmark.

"Are you the only one in your royal family who has such a birthmark?"

Suyara raised her head proudly: "Naturally." ”

Zhirong blinked. Maybe I was wrong. "What are you doing in the city as a princess?"

Asked about this, Su Yala gritted her teeth and said, "It's not because of the Dongyue Royal Court. They had long seen that our tribe was unpleasant and wanted to get rid of us, but now that Cao Zhen had lost the Golden City, he instigated the Great King to send some tribes that were not in harmony with the royal court to attack Mingzhou City. You think those are small border tribes, they are only a few people. ”

"Since you have told me this, then you Firefox tribe must not have obeyed the orders of the royal court. Go ahead. What exactly is your purpose? "Zhirong is playing with the sand table of the Dongyue Grassland, but her thinking is unusually calm." Jin Shi released the princess and untied her. Go and call Shen Qing and Shen Heng to come. ”

Suara was not polite after she was freed. went straight to the pastries on Zhirong's table, picked them up and ate them, looking like that, it was obvious that he hadn't eaten a full meal for a few days.

Zhirong poured a cup of tea and handed it to her, she was suspicious, and then took it and drank it all.

Zhirong laughed and said, "You're not afraid that I will poison you?" "This prairie princess has a hearty temperament.

"When I come to you, I will believe you."

Suyara poured another glass of water for herself. "My father was killed by the royal court! There were traitors within the Firefox tribe, and I fought all the way with my henchmen to break out of the encirclement of the royal court. But the people of the Firefox tribe are still under the control of the royal court, and the people around them are dead one by one, so I have no choice but to think that maybe you can save me. ”

Although Suyara did not shed tears, she clenched her fists and touched the green tendons that burst out of her head, and you could see that the fire of hatred in her heart was burning.

"However, you were disappointed when you saw me. You see that I am weak and can't resist the Dongyue royal court, right? Zhirong said what Su Yala thought in one sentence, and now there is no need to beat around the bush.

"Yes, I see you're disappointed." Su Yala was also blunt, but she changed her words: "However, you are impressing me now, dare to leave me alone in the main hall, you are very bold, you must know that my martial arts are not comparable to some grassland warriors on the grassland." ”

"Maybe we can really work together, if you really believe in me. I will help you recapture the Firefox tribe and destroy the royal court of Dongyue. Zhirong said these words solemnly.

Su Yala looked at her suspiciously, and said in her heart that this woman looks weak, but how can she give people a noble temperament, and there is an inexplicable power, an overwhelming power.

"What do you want?" Suyara knew that there was nothing in the world that was given away for nothing.

Zhirong stretched out his hand to knock down the banner of the Grassland Royal Court on the sand table, "It's very simple, I want the Dongyue Grassland to become my training ground in the north!" It was easy to say, but Suyara felt incredible.

When her father was young, he also wanted to win the royal court, but he failed, and the woman in front of him actually said that he wanted the whole of Dongyue. Is she too naïve or does she really have that power.

"You can't have a chance of winning, even if you have a lot of soldiers, but you need the support of all the tribes of the grassland, now only the fire fox and the old man are fighting against the royal court, and the other three tribes don't dare at all."

"Why?" Zhirong is strange, the grassland people are already warlike, why don't they dare to resist the royal court?

Suyala's eyes flashed, "They have a divine crossbow, which can fire a lot of thick crossbow arrows in a row, and it only takes a few fires to wipe out some small tribes. ”

"Then we're going to have to work together even more!" Zhirong finally put aside a few days of sorrow and raised a happy smile. The treasure of the Shen family army turned out to be the divine crossbow! The Prairie Royal Court has borrowed it for so many years, and it's time to return it.

"Su Yala, you shouldn't have entered the city alone this time, if you can capture the commander of Mingzhou City and bring it back, how will the royal court reward you?"

Su Yala was shocked, and said without concealment: "The royal court will make me the new king of the Firefox tribe." She suddenly stood up and said extremely angrily: "But I have a grudge against the royal court to kill my father, I won't do that!" ”

Zhirong gestured for her to sit down, "Don't get excited, it's not true, you think I'm going to let you be captured?" Saying that, the door of the main hall opened, and outside were Shen Qing and Shen Heng with the guards, and the important thing was that they were also helping a group of men who were also in rags.

Su Yala was dumbfounded, these were her most elite soldiers, and then looked back at Zhirong, sitting there leisurely, untouchable. She breathed deeply.

"I understand, I am willing to cooperate with Commander Bai, I don't care about the throne of the Firefox tribe, I only need to slash the enemy, and I also hope that Commander Bai can treat the people of the Firefox tribe well!"

Zhirong nodded and smiled: "Then let's discuss the deployment." (To be continued......)
