Tuoba Yu frowned and looked at his queen coldly.

Wan Ting couldn't help but tremble in her heart when she was looked at by that look, but she had to continue: "Your Majesty's insistence on attacking Yuexi was instigated by that Conland, but I have checked the origin of this Conland countless times, but none of them have been able to get a definite answer. If you think about it, there was a mysterious person in our house back then, who wore a half-mask and described as terrifying. Since he appeared, Conland was sent to His Majesty's mansion, and His Majesty was able to ascend the throne, presumably this Conland also paid a lot of effort, so he was regarded as a meritorious minister by His Majesty, and I have nothing to say about this, but I have been vaguely guessing that the other party was sent to His Majesty by Yuexi. ”

Tuoba Yu's eyes became more and more gloomy, but he sneered in his mouth: "This is strange, do you mean that the Yuexi people have planted spies around me?" You don't think about it, if Conland was really sent by Yuexi, why did he instigate me to attack his homeland? ”

Wan Ting couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, after following you for so many years, I am no longer the county lord who knew nothing at the beginning. Conland may be from Yuexi, but the domestic forces in Yuexi are complicated, I don't know what kind of identity that mysterious person is, but Conland must not be at ease. I think...... His Majesty may have made some kind of deal with some high-ranking person in the western part of the country in exchange for some kind of benefit. I just want to ask, is this weight so heavy that it makes His Majesty ignore it? ”

"Bold!" Tuoba Yu reprimanded sharply.

Wan Ting was taken aback, and subconsciously her legs were weak, and she almost fell to her knees, but she gritted her teeth and persevered, refusing to reveal her inner anxiety.

Tuoba Yu looked at her coldly: "I have already said that you don't need to worry about these things, be your queen well!" Don't say a word about what you shouldn't say, don't touch anything you shouldn't do! So saying, he lifted the tent and strode out.

Wan Ting chased out of the tent and said sadly: "Your Majesty xià ......"

However, at this time, the other party had never heard of it at all, and ordered someone to lead a horse, he was dressed in a dragon robe, the cloud sleeves were rolled, and the sun shone on his body, like a radiant light, and the beauty was indescribable. He jumped on his horse and glanced at Wan Ting condescendingly. At this time, Tuoba Yu was high-spirited, and it also contained a kind of supreme majesty and luxury, concealing the sense of imperial dignity that could bend the waist of the country and bow down to the people. Wan Ting didn't dare to say anything more for a while, lowered her head, Tuoba Yu didn't look at her again, rode her horse and flew away, and quickly left the military account.

Tuoba Yu stepped up the tall building step by step, staring coldly at the north, and he could see the city in the west from a distance, when a blue-robed scribe walked up to his side.

Tuoba Yu didn't have to look back, he already smiled slightly: "Conland, do you know what the queen said in my ear just now?" ”

Conland lowered his head: "Weichen doesn't know. ”

Tuoba Yu sneered: "She said that you are a spy sent by Yuexi, intending to get some benefits from me. After a pause, he continued, "But what she said is right, what does Empress Pei want, why did she sell domestic intelligence to me and instigate this war?" ”

Conland sighed softly and said, "Your Majesty, this is an agreement between Niangniang and you a long time ago, she supported you to ascend to the throne, and this war is another gift she gave you." ”

Tuoba Yu sneered and said: "Don't take me as a fool, it is not a good thing for the country or the people to start a war, not to mention that my throne has not yet been secured, and the outcome of this war is not yet predictable." ”

Conland was not in a hurry: "Your Majesty is not in a hurry, you are wise and martial, conform to the will of heaven, have a reputation far and wide, and have a strong army of millions in the calendar, and the court is also an outstanding good general, while Yue Xi is the opposite." The emperor is violent, the military ministers are centrifuged, and the prince is vying for the throne, and this is the best time for His Majesty to start a war. What's more, there are too many people who give advice, and things are not easy to succeed, and those courtiers don't understand His Majesty, so His Majesty will make up his own mind, and there is no need to consult the courtiers extensively. Those people are just short-sighted people, and if Your Majesty lets the courtiers go, what day will he be able to gain more benefits? ”

Tuoba Yu raised his eyebrows, looked at the other party with a smile, and said: "Listening to what you say, it seems that every word is thinking about me, but I will not forget that you are from Yuexi after all." ”

Conland said calmly: "Yes, Weichen was born in Yuexi, but in Weichen's opinion, the entire Yuexi is not as good as the queen's will." As long as the majesty and the qiē obey the construction of the Wei Chen, you will be able to get the qiē that your majesty wants, including the ten Yuexi cities, and the person who has always been full of hatred in your heart. ”

Tuoba Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, and his smile was calm: "Do you know my thoughts? ”

Conland lowered his head: "Don't get me wrong, Wei Chen just conveyed Niangniang's meaning truthfully, she said that Her Majesty is her best ally, and she will naturally fulfill her promise to you." But I hope you will always keep this in mind and don't give up on your original intention because of the advice of those who are ignorant. ”

Hearing this, Tuoba Yu sighed faintly, looked into the distance, and said in a rather emotional tone: "Emperor Yuexi must not have thought that his pillow man would betray the country's intelligence for his own selfish interests, so that the war was lost one after another. No matter how many troops he sends or how many generals he sends, the outcome is the same. I'd love to know the monarch of the Great Zhou...... And what do you promise him? ”

Conland smiled: "The relationship between Da Zhou and Yuexi is even worse, and they will rush up desperately without any conditions." What's more, the previous matter of repairing the canal and seizing the river channel suffered a lot of losses, and now that he has just woken up, he knows that the person who built the canal for them is a spy sent by Yuexi, of course he will be annoyed and angry. ”

In this way, Empress Pei is demolishing the emperor's platform behind his back. A gust of wind blew, blowing Tuoba Yu's clothes flying, he looked at the soldiers who were waiting under the city, suddenly full of pride, and laughed loudly: "Okay, since this gamble has been opened, I have absolutely no intention of retreating, you can rest assured!" He didn't know who he was talking to, and the voice swept in the wind for a while, and then suddenly dissipated.

And Conland also showed a faint smile and said no more.

In Yuexi City, which was far away from the Great Calendar, Yuan Lie heard that Tuoba Yu sent troops to cut off the river, and couldn't help but say coldly: "General, I have always admired your countless strong generals, but this time you have disappointed me too much!" Originally, the strength of the Yuexi Dali was quite equal, as long as we didn't mess up our own battles, we would definitely not fail lightly, but you even lost the waterway to transport grain and grass. Now that Dali has this waterway, he can rely on water transportation to transport a steady stream of food from other countries for the army! As a result, our grain and grass will be forced to be transported by land, and there will be no way to catch up with each other in time. ”

Wang Gong had some embarrassment on his face, and Wang Qiong hurriedly spoke for his father: "Your Highness, that Tuoba Jade is to support money and food with the strength of a country, compared to us, we are in a weak position, it is better to lead the troops to retreat to Huazhou for the time being, as long as the time comes, we can still think of ways to recapture this city." ”

Yuan Lie sneered, looked at the general Wang Gong and said, "Are the opinions of the general and the general Zhendong also the same?" ”

Although the general Wang Gong is the commander-in-chief, the identity of King Xu Yuanlie is special, and His Majesty has entrusted him with all the military power, even if it is the general Wang Gong and the Zhendong general Wang Qiong, there is no way to refute his opinion. Fortunately, Wang Gong did not agree with what Wang Qiong said just now, and he said loudly: "Your Highness, the battle has come to this, and the only way to hold on is to hold on!" We don't have a good time here, and so is Tuobayu! His million-strong army is overwhelming, and his every move is easy to be discovered, so he can't advance or retreat. Now it's up to us who is more patient, and the first step we see is to find a way to cut off their food and make it mess with itself! ”

Hearing this, Yuan Lie smiled and said: "Sure enough, it is a great general, and he speaks insightfully, but the other party has already controlled the waterway, and it is not so easy to seize their grain transportation channel." ”

Wang Gong couldn't help but shake his head, he had tried his best, but unfortunately no matter what decision he made, the result was leaked. He vaguely sensed that there seemed to be spies in the army, but who were the so many generals? Why is he defending so tightly, but the other party is still pervasive, who is making trouble behind his back! Thinking of this, he said in a low voice: "Your Highness, for the sake of today...... Our actions must be kept confidential and must not be leaked. ”

Yuan Lie's eyes became deep, and his handsome face shone with dazzling brilliance in the candlelight: "The general is talking about spies in the army?" ”

Wang Gong glanced at the door of the military account, and said lightly: "This is not sure about this, but if there is no spy, why should all our plans and actions for sending troops be known by the other party one step ahead, but I have thoroughly investigated all the generals and soldiers, and I have not found anything unusual, which shows that the other party is very well hidden." For a while, we had no choice but to keep the plan a secret. ”

Yuan Lie played with the paperweight on the table in his hand, and said with a smile: "This is just a way to treat the symptoms but not the root cause, since the other party likes to listen to the corner of the wall so much, let's give him a gift!" ”

Hearing what Yuan Lie said, Wang Gong and Wang Qiong glanced at each other and seemed to be a little puzzled.

Yuan Lie said: "The most important thing in the army is news. The other party can learn about our actions every time, which shows that the status is not low, and it must be among the generals who participated in the deliberations, but each of them has followed the general for many years, even if the general wants to be suspicious, but he can't bear it. As far as I am concerned, they are all strangers, and rest assured, General, that I will do my best to get rid of this spy, whoever he may be! ”

Wang Gong sighed and said, "In this way, it will be handed over to His Royal Highness King Xu at the disposal of Qiē!" ”

That night, King Xu's men secretly charged the tents of more than a dozen partial generals, and all those who tried to resist were killed, regardless of whether they were spies or not. Such a move caused an uproar in the army for a while, and many people gathered outside Wang Gong's military tent to demand that he immediately deal with the matter and release the imprisoned generals. However, Wang Gong's tent was quiet, he fully supported Wang Yuanlie's approach, ignored Yiqi, and refused to see anyone at all. There were unconvinced generals who went to Yuan Lie to make trouble, but Yuan Lie did not save face for them like Wang Gong, and anyone who had objections was slaughtered with a knife.

This simple and crude method made everyone shudder. After three days, as soon as Qiē subsided, no one dared to go to Yuan Lie's account to make trouble, let alone say a word for his detained colleagues.

At this time, the spies in Yuexi received a secret military report, and the Great Calendar loaded the required grain and grass on the ship and went down the waterway from both sides of the Yongzhou Canal and the Suoshui Canal. That night, Wang Qiong, the general of Zhendong, ordered the sergeants to prepare and prepare for the boat to intercept the other party's grain and grass, but he was stopped by Yuan Lie before he could move.

Yuan Lie said coldly: "General Wang, don't set off tonight!" ”

Wang Qiong was stunned for a moment and said: "Today, the moon is bright and the stars are scarce, taking advantage of the convenience of the moonlight, you can find ways to cut off the other party's grain and grass, take it by surprise, and kill the other party by surprise, why can't you go?" ”

Yuan Lie smiled: "The purpose of the general's visit was originally to cut off his food route, but Tuoba Yu's elite soldiers are strong and prepared, and maybe they have set up an ambush waiting for us, so it is really difficult to succeed in such a direct attack." I heard that Tuoba Yu had connected grain boats along the riverbank, and as long as these ships were burned, the purpose of destroying grain and grass could be achieved. It's a pity that although the moonlight is good today, there is no wind on the river, if there is no west wind to help, we want to use fire to attack the method is useless, we can only rely on the soldiers to fight to the death, so what's the use? ”

Wang Qiong was stunned, then looked at the other party and said, "West wind? ”

Yuan Lie looked directly at the other party: "Yes, West Wind, you can't put it up without the fire of General West Wind." ”

Wang Qiong sighed: "It's me who is anxious." In the past, Zijin was by my side to remind me, but this time she was not there...... Fortunately, His Royal Highness King Xu is thoughtful, otherwise it would be in vain, but now there is no one in the army who calculates yin and yang and is well versed in astronomical calculations. ”

Yuan Lie said with a smile: "Although Miss Wang is proficient in astronomy and geography, yin and yang arithmetic, she doesn't have to be in the march to fight. In my opinion, we can choose some smart people in the army, let them stand by the river and observe the direction of the wind, and once the wind is changed, we will set off immediately. It may seem stupid, but it doesn't work. ”

Suddenly, a voice sounded: "In case the wind turns soon after it rises, or if the west wind simply stops, our ship cannot move or retreat halfway, and the attack is not to give up, what should we do when the time comes?" What's more, I've been observing that the wind is blowing too much from the south recently, and it's too difficult to wait for the westerly wind, and if we miss the best time, our strategy won't work. Wang Ji had already lifted the curtain and came in at this moment, looking worried.

Yuan Lie glanced at him and said, "It's not difficult, why don't you rush to Dadu for eight hundred miles and ask Miss Wang when she will be able to send troops?" Just let her do the math! Wang Ji couldn't help but be a little annoyed when he heard this, but after all, he had practiced Buddhism for many years and knew how to advance and retreat, so he could only whisper: "His Royal Highness King Xu, I am also thinking about the army, and I have no other intentions, don't misunderstand." ”

Yuan Lie waved his hand and said: "I know that what Wang Gongzi said is not wrong, but marching and fighting is about an opportunity, and we also need the help of heaven. ”

After Yuan Lie said this, the father and son of the Wang family looked at each other helplessly, they had never seen such a war. Heaven? Who knows who God is for! Something unexpected happened, the next evening dark clouds covered the sunset, the sky darkened early, and there was really a west wind slowly drifting along the river, and the people who had been arranging to observe the direction of the wind on the edge of the river were overjoyed, and ran directly into the tent and reported to them: "Your Highness, two generals, the west wind is coming, the west wind is really coming!" ”

Wang Ji has also been observing the changes in the weather, he walked out of the tent, looked at the sky and said, "But looking at this situation, it seems that it is going to rain." ”

Wang Ji was also very worried: "Your Highness, if the rainstorm pours, our plan to burn the ship will be in vain." ”

Yuan Lie was unmoved, his eyes were very firm: "Our fireboat can be set on fire when it comes close, and the surface of Tuoba Yu's ship is used to be smeared with tung oil, which is very good to ignite, and we can succeed before it rains." Wang Gongzi, this time I personally took the soldiers to go, would you like to go with me? ”

Wang Ji was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, no!" Your status is precious, and you must not rush there, so I will take someone with you on this matter. ”

Yuan Lie smiled and shook his head, "Since I promised His Majesty to personally handle this matter, I can't entrust such an important matter to others. It's not that I don't believe in Wang Gongzi's ability, it's just that this matter is too dangerous. As a general, I should take the lead in order to boost morale, otherwise everyone will think that King Xu is just a showman, don't you say? ”

When Wang Ji heard this, he looked at his father and didn't say anything.

That night, Yuan Yeol brought with him twenty fireboats loaded with artillery, reeds, dry firewood, and other fire-starters, but in order to avoid getting wet, he specially ordered someone to cover the fireboats with a layer of tung oilcloth. Wang Ji expected it to be good, it was indeed a torrential rain that night, and the water was as dense as a curtain, Wang Ji stood in the cabin and was worried, he knew that if the rainstorm did not stop, he would have to lose the soup if he had a fire attack today. He hesitated, looked at Yuan Lie, who was looking up at the rainstorm, and said, "Your Highness, do you think we have another plan?" ”

Yuan Lie stared at the dark blue sky with a deep gaze: "Prince Wang, all we can do is wait. ”

Wang Ji said anxiously in his heart: "Your Highness, after a long time, our ship will be easily discovered by the Great Calendar, so let's give up and go back." ”

Giving up now is tantamount to falling short, Yuan Lie shook his head: "No, wait another half an hour!" With that, he ordered all the boats to hide in the reeds next to them, and secretly observed the weather. As the rain continued to fall, the good-tempered Wang Ji was about to explode. He has followed his grandfather and father for so many years, and he has never seen Yuan Yeol's risky style of play. One is not good, all of these lives will rest here! He couldn't wait to grab Yuan Lie's neck and shake this pretentious guy awake with all his might, fighting is not child's play, it's not that you want the west wind to have the west wind, why are you so confident! But he couldn't, because the other party was a member of the royal family with a noble status, and he was also a strong man whose martial arts were far superior to his own, so he could only stand at the bow of the ship and stare at the sky anxiously.

Maybe it was Yuan Lie's Heavenly Dao that really played a role, and after half an hour, the rain gradually eased, but the wind did not stop, and the whirring sound could be heard almost in the cabin. It was supposed that a strong westerly wind blew away the dark clouds of the rain, and the rain became smaller and smaller, and gradually disappeared.

Wang Ji watched this qiē happen in surprise, Yuan Lie walked out of the cabin and said coldly, "You can do it." ”

Twenty fireships set sail quietly, sailing smoothly, and saw that they had arrived at the place where the Great Calendar hid grain, and it was already late at night, and the guards in charge of guarding the Great Calendar had originally set up heavy defenses, but when they saw that the night was peaceful, and it was a torrential rain, in order to avoid the wind and rain, they only let some people stay behind, and they were relieved to sleep boldly in the cabin.

When the fireboat arrived ten meters from the grain ship, Yuan Lie ordered the soldiers on the ship to set fire with rockets and iron hooks, and then rushed all the twenty fireboats to the other party's ship, and those fireships were all inflammable things such as sulfur, smoke, mines, artillery, reeds, and dry firewood. At this time, everyone, including Yuan Lie and Wang Ji, had already jumped into the river and swam to the shore.

Zhang Yao, the general who guarded the ship in the Great Calendar, heard the fire and hurriedly put on his clothes and came out to see. I only saw the whirring wind, the fire of the grain boat by the river spread, like a fire dragon with teeth and claws. He was angry for a moment, put on his armor, mounted his horse, and led the men to see what was going on. It's a pity that as soon as I rushed to the shore, I saw a team of people blocking the road in the firelight. When the face of the first person looked particularly handsome under the firelight, but he was drenched, with a sinister eye and a cold smile, it was Xu Wang Yuanlie.

Zhang Yao hurriedly pulled out his long sword and headed towards Yuan Lie, but in less than three rounds, Yuan Lie pierced his throat with a sword and fell to the ground, crying for his life. And the guards who followed behind Yuan Lie were also like wolves and tigers, and quickly rushed into the opponent's team. The soldiers who had just woken up saw that the Lord was about to be killed, and seeing the fierceness of the comers, they hurriedly ordered to retreat, and those soldiers who did not have time to escape were quickly killed.

Yuan Lie snatched Zhang Yao's war horse without shame, and ordered the soldiers to set fire, burning all the military supplies here in Dalitun, and in the firelight, Yuan Lie ordered people to retreat to the river in an orderly and fast manner. Wang Ji was already looking forward to seeing through it, and when he saw that he had returned safely, he breathed a sigh of relief, and ordered them to board the small boat that had been prepared and hung behind the fireboat.

Overnight, the grain, grass and baggage of the Great Calendar were reduced to ashes, and hundreds of grain boats and ships were also burned, and it was impossible to transport grain and grass from land and water as before. After Tuoba Yu heard the news, he was very angry for a while. Gao Hua, the lieutenant general in charge of the guards, ordered to be pushed out and beheaded. But it was useless to kill, and now that his best method of obtaining grain and grass had been destroyed, it was impossible for the hundred grain ships to be built overnight, let alone to be collected from the country at once. He could not bear the anger in his heart for a while, and at this time the courtiers who came with him were also anxious, and they were angry that they wanted to stop the war with the book to the west.

Wan Ting couldn't help but speak: "Your Majesty, have you seen it?" The courtiers and soldiers are thinking about returning day and night, and if we delay it like this, I am afraid that something will happen, and now we can't advance or retreat here, what a dangerous thing! If something happens to the rear, what will you do then? ”

Before Wan Ting's words were finished, she heard Conland step forward and say: "Niangniang, fighting is not child's play, you are a person from the harem, and the former emperor has already had a cloud harem and is not allowed to interfere in politics, have you forgotten?" ”

Wan Ting gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, you Conland, what is your identity?" Why do you want to bewitch him so much by His Majesty's side? ”

Hearing that there was a fight here, the courtiers looked at each other.

Tuoba Yu said sharply: "Get out of here!" ”

The courtiers were taken aback, looked at each other, did not dare to say more, and retreated one after another, leaving only Empress Huanting and the cold-faced Conland. Tuoba Yu only felt extremely depressed in his heart, and the fire in his heart was burning more and more, and when he saw Wan Ting asking to withdraw from the army, he couldn't help but feel angry again: "You also get out!" ”

Wan Ting was stunned, looking at the emperor's eyes full of tears, but she was helpless, after all, she couldn't help but glared at Conland angrily, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, don't think I don't know anything, there is another important reason why you started this war, that is, for that Li Weiyang!" ”

Hearing this, Tuoba Yu froze completely, but the muscles on the other party's face unconsciously trembled made Wan Ting more sure that what she said was right. She plucked up her courage and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Li Weiyang is just a mere woman, if Your Majesty likes it, thousands of women in Dali will be picked by you, why do you want to miss her?" In her heart, she had already abandoned her majesty, so why should she suffer for her like this? Even if Empress Pei gives you that Li Weiyang as agreed? Her mind is not on Her Majesty at all! Chong Guan is angry and blushing, what a stupid thing to do! ”

Tuoba Yu stared at her suddenly, his eyes as if he was about to burst into flames. Looked at by that terrible look, Wan Ting was almost so frightened that she took a step back, only to hear the other party's grinding teeth-like voice sound: "If Li Weiyang is planted in my hands, I will break her body into ten thousand pieces!" ”

Hearing this, Wan Ting glared at him in disbelief: "You...... Why do you bother! ”

"Get out!" Tuoba Yu said sharply.

Wan Ting was shocked by the fierce momentum, and didn't dare to say more, when she walked to the tent, she suddenly heard Tuoba Yu say: "In the herald army, whoever dares to say anything about retiring will be killed!" ”

Wan Ting couldn't help but turn around again, tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty, there is no food in the army, it is difficult to support, if everyone is making a fuss about leaving, can Your Majesty kill everyone?" Kill it or not, no one will dare to plan for His Majesty again! ”

Before Tuoba Yu could attack again, she had already left. Tuoba Yu looked at her back coldly, turned to Conland and said, "Didn't your news say that there has been no change in the army recently, why is there this sneak attack?" ”

Conland sighed and said: "Now that the coach has changed, his methods are several times more ruthless than that Wang Gong." I just got the news that he has brought all of us in the army under control, so the news can't be delivered, so it will be delayed. ”

Tuoba Yu sneered and said, "How powerful I am when I am Queen Pei, it turns out that it is nothing more than that!" ”

Conland was not angry, and said with a slight smile: "Your Majesty, the art of war has clouds and needs to be fickle in battle." For today's plan, we need to focus on the enemy, seize the opponent's weakness and attack violently, so that it is tired to deal with, so that the way to win! We can abandon the city they are defending and attack Yaozhou in the southeast, on the one hand, we can get more grain and grass and support, and on the other hand, the geographical location of Yaozhou is very important. King Xu will definitely return to the army to rescue, and the siege of us at this moment can naturally be lifted, and then think of some ways to let King Xu's name of cowardice spread back to Dadu, and then force the emperor to change generals, are we still afraid that the big thing is unexpected? As for the grain and grass, the queen will definitely think of it. ”

Tuoba Yu looked at Conland and suddenly laughed.

Conland saw that the other party was smiling weirdly, but he didn't know what he was laughing at, so he couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, who are you?" ”

Tuoba Yu laughed uncontrollably, and after all, he just sighed lightly: "You are from Yuexi, but now you are giving advice to me in my tent, isn't it ridiculous?" I'm afraid that Emperor Yuexi doesn't know that his empress is the culprit, I really want to know what Empress Pei wants to do? What good can she do if she gives me these cities? ”

Before he finished his sentence, his face gradually became strange.

At this time, the news that the grain and grass in the Great Calendar were burned was transmitted back to Dadu, and Li Weiyang was feeding the pigeons in front of the court. When Zhao Yue reported the news to her, she smiled slightly and said: "Yuan Lie is really bold, if the west wind can't stand it, or if it starts and suddenly stops, he won't lose a lot, and if you want Shuwei, you don't have to rush for a while." ”

Hearing her say this, Zhao Yue smiled and said: "Miss don't worry, the so-called mastery of yin and yang gossip is not a difficult thing, it's not that there are no such people around the master, it's just that they didn't need it in the past." ”

Li Weiyang knew that Yuan Lie's subordinates had collected a lot of strange people, and he was sure that the west wind would definitely rise, so he would make such a strategy, but he was still a little risky. She thought about it, but shook her head: "I really don't understand, why hasn't Tuoba Yu retreated yet, is there any reason why he is so persistent?" ”

When Zhao Yue heard this, she glanced at Li Weiyang, but her expression was very strange.

Li Weiyang looked at her hesitation, and said with a smile: "If you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly." ”

Zhao Yue lowered her head, took out a letter from her arms, and personally handed the letter to Li Weiyang and said, "This letter was sent back by the master, and I want to present it to Miss in person." ”

Li Weiyang smiled: "Why are you spitting, show me." As she spoke, she unfolded the letter and read it in ten lines.

Zhao Yue saw Li Weiyang's expression change slightly, and couldn't help but say, "Miss, this letter ...... What did the master of the letter say? ”

Li Weiyang's expression changed several times, and finally sighed lightly: "This letter was not written by your master, it was written by the county lord of Huanting, oh, now she is not the county lord, she is Her Royal Highness the Queen of the Great Calendar." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yue was completely stunned: "Empress? Tuoba Yu's wife? Why did she write to you, Miss? ”

Li Weiyang shook the letter paper in his hand and said: "She has no way to stop Tuoba Yu, she is writing to me at the moment, the crux of the problem is still on Empress Pei's body, let me pay more attention!" ”

Zhao Yue was even more shocked, Wan Ting was Tuoba Yu's wife and the queen of the Great Calendar, why did she remind Li Weiyang to be more careful?

Seeing her doubts, Li Weiyang couldn't help but smile and said: "The dispute between the two countries is not so easy to solve. Wan Ting didn't want to see the war spread, she wanted to calm the war as much as possible, so she wanted me to start with Empress Pei. ”

Wan Ting wants the war to stop? Zhao Yue couldn't help but speculate: "Miss, what do you mean...... Empress Pei instigated Tuoba Yu to start this war, and the side of the Great Zhou ......"

Li Weiyang nodded lightly and said, "It's the same when I think about it." ”

No matter how calm she is, she will break the gong, Zhao Yue's eyes widened and said, "She's crazy!" The queen of a dignified country, why should she sell her intelligence and help other countries? What's in it for her? ”

Li Weiyang said with a smile: "Empress Pei is not a normal person in the first place, and we can't use normal people's thinking to speculate about her." According to Wan Ting, Empress Pei agreed to exchange ten cities and a secret condition for Tuoba Yu, on the side of the Great Zhou monarch...... There is no definite news yet. Even Wan Ting didn't know what agreement had been reached between Empress Pei and Da Zhou. If the battle on the front line is lost, what good can it do to Empress Pei? This person is really hard to guess. ”

The pastry in Li Weiyang's hand fell unintentionally, and those peace-loving pigeons changed their habits in the past and competed for each other.

Zhao Yue said: "Miss, the fifth young master wants to invite you to the secret room." ”

Li Weiyang nodded, spilled the pastry casually, and said softly: "Let's go and see Yingchu first." ”

In the secret room, Director Guo looked at Ying Chu and said, "Lord Win, have you ever been sober after being locked up for a few days?" ”

Ying Chu didn't even raise his head, just quietly thinking about his own thoughts, and didn't even look at Director Guo, obviously not interested in what he said.

Director Guo smiled faintly and instructed the person next to him: "Take the gift I gave to Lord Win." ”

The guard next to him immediately handed over a cup with a little powder in it. Li Weiyang frowned slightly, only to see Director Guo smiling proudly: "Can Lord Win know this thing?" ”

Without waiting for Ying Chu to react, Director Guo gently sprinkled the powder in this cup on the ground.

Ying Chu's pupils suddenly shrank, and his body immediately reacted to the powder. "Why do you have five poisons in your hands!" Ying Chu opened his mouth to say the first sentence, but his voice was hoarse like a beast's question, hiding a sense of fear that was difficult to hide.

Director Guo couldn't help laughing: "Isn't this a gift from Empress Pei at the beginning?" Now I give it to Lord Win as a reciprocation, why don't you know it? ”

Li Weiyang looked at Director Guo with a slightly surprised expression. Wang Zijin's eyes widened even more, and she suddenly remembered that the fifth son of the Guo family had been very decadent for a period of time, and it seemed that it had something to do with the five poisons. But how did Director Guo get rid of the influence of the Five Poisons and stand here? Doesn't it mean that no one can get rid of the addiction of the five poisons and can only die in agony in the end......

At this time, Director Guo's peach blossom eyes had already narrowed, and his originally handsome face was like a jade-faced Shura, with a three-point threat, and a murderous aura faintly appeared in the depths of his eyes. But then, he smiled again, this time slightly, as if he had thought of something interesting, and as if he was looking at some interesting person. His tone was filled with irrepressible mockery: "I really sympathize with you, knowing that the other party doesn't take you seriously at all, and you would rather die than betray her!" ”

Ying Chu's body twitched, and he couldn't bear to look at the powder, and his voice was slightly hoarse: "I don't know what you're talking about." ”

Director Guo smiled faintly: "You really don't know, a fool like you who has lost his eyes to love, what else can he see besides Pei Hou, who is a dog at all?" In the eyes of others, she is a slut who kills people without blinking, but in your eyes she is rare in the world, and she is the only one you want to protect. She's always on your guard. Even if you have been with her for many years, saddle up and behind, and be loyal, but in order to cut off the news that is not good for her, she will abandon you like an outcast! ”

When Ying Chu heard this, he gritted his teeth and said nothing, with an uncooperative attitude.

Director Guo's mood seemed to be quite good, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and there was a slight malice in his tone: "I already know that the other party has drugged you, but I have been pretending to be ignorant and trying my best to cover it up in front of us. ”

Guo Dao raised his feet, his royal blue boots stepped on the powder, and let it twist into mud under his feet, and his smile gradually became more cold: "Five poisons, what a nice name, but it is the best tool to control a person, once you eat too much, you will become addicted, if Empress Pei has the slightest trust in you, she will not use this drug to control you." ”

Ying Chu seemed to have finally endured to the limit, and said coldly: "Don't talk nonsense!" ”

Li Weiyang keenly found that Ying Chu's pupils were three points wider than just now, and his expression became more hideous, and the muscles at the corners of his mouth twitched faintly, it was conceivable that Director Guo's words did stimulate him, although the iron chain tied his hands and feet so that he could not leave, but Li Weiyang clearly saw that his wrists had been ground out of blood.

Director Guo knew that the other party had taken the bait, so he waited for him to give a fatal blow, and couldn't help laughing: "Poor, you are really pitiful!" Obviously driven like a dog, but you still have to pay for her, if an infatuated lover like you dies, will she shed a tear for you? No, it won't! She'll only be glad she's got rid of a useless piece of waste! ”

Ying Chu stood up suddenly, struggled frantically, and approached directly in front of Guo Dao, but when he was only about an inch away from the tip of Guo Dao's nose, the iron chain had already reached the extreme, strangling him tightly. made him unable to take a step forward, which made Ying Chu appear more and more angry, and the half of the bewitching handsome face was extremely terrifying: "Don't slander her, I will never believe your words to sow discord!" ”

Director Guo sneered, looking at Ying Chu's gaze as if he was looking at a waste, a chess piece that had been discarded, he said in a cold voice: "Only a delirious person like you would believe Empress Pei, the obvious facts can't be seen clearly, so let's die." ”

Ying Chu seemed to want to pinch Director Guo's neck, but unfortunately he couldn't do it. Because the anger that he endured finally broke through his limit, he suddenly curled up in a ball, and his expression, which was extremely fierce just now, became crazy, and the whole person curled up and scuffled on the ground, desperately fighting with a certain soul in his body, but despite this, he did not touch the powder on the ground. He seemed to hate that kind of thing......

Director Guo took a step closer and said with a slight smile: "Ying Chu, the five poisons are scattered once every five days, and each attack will be extremely painful, making your life worse than death, so I think you must feel like you have never lived in the world now." And the person who pushed you into this hell is Queen Pei, whom you have always loved, and now you are still so affectionate to her, would you rather die than betray her? ”

Hearing what Director Guo said, Ying Chu suddenly raised his eyes, staring at Director Guo with blood-red eyes, his expression was extremely hideous.

Wang Zijin was taken aback by that terrifying look, and subconsciously took a step back, but seeing Director Guo working so hard to stimulate Ying Chu, she vaguely felt that the other party was about to succeed. So she stepped forward and forcibly suppressed the fear in her heart and said, "Lord Win, do you know that Empress Pei already has a new favorite around her?" ”

Ying Chu's eyes turned to Wang Zijin in an instant, and his body spasmed more and more.

Wang Zijin was looked at by those cold eyes, and forced himself to speak calmly: "I'm not talking about it, now there is a handsome young man named Changde by Empress Pei's side, serving her every day." This Changde was born very beautiful, he was a chamberlain who had just entered the palace, and he had always been by Empress Pei's side, very well-behaved and clever, and he was very pleasing to her. He has already taken the place of Lord Win, even if you return to Empress Pei, she will not look at you again now. ”

Director Guo and Wang Zijin sang together, forcing Ying Chu to submit step by step, Li Weiyang looked at Ying Chu coldly, but his expression was ordinary and he didn't say much.

Ying Chu struggled and seemed to want to say something, but the strong hatred burst out in an instant, making everyone present feel his despair.

At this moment, Director Guo suddenly stepped forward and said sharply: "Not good! He's going to bite his tongue, stop him! ”
