The relationship between Dayu and Hua Chao has been attacked like never before.

"Report!"

Before Rao Yuanzhi could start to talk about his strategy, he heard a singing report, and a guard with a knife knelt down in front of the hall, bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, there are many official offices that have been attacked by unknown people, and the other party has attacked many official offices by throwing hot oil bags, and many guards have been injured. ”

"What?" Xuanyuan Yi's heart suddenly tightened, his hand clenched the armrest of the dragon chair, and asked, "Have you caught the culprit?" ”

"I haven't caught it! Because the offender set himself on fire on the spot on the street, chanting the slogan of long live the flower dynasty before he died! ”

The ministers screamed and set themselves on fire on the spot? It's horrible!

"Your Majesty, doesn't this mean that it is a conspiracy of the Hua Dynasty? If it is just to frame the relationship between the Flower Dynasty and our country, who will set himself on fire? An old official immediately said in a trembling voice.

Xuanyuan Yi's heart sank, even the officials thought so, but it is conceivable that the people outside also thought so!

If even the body is burned, the soul will be burned and will not be able to enter samsara.

How terrible is the act of self-immolation in the eyes of the people! No one would believe that someone else would do such a thing for the sake of a conspiracy!

And with this incident, Rao Yuanzhi also felt that the method he wanted to mention just now was too pale, he originally asked Xuanyuan Yi to go to the sacrificial rooftop, in the name of the emperor, to clarify those rumors to the people, as long as the Son of Heaven opened his mouth, the rumors would be suppressed somewhat. But now that there is a self-immolation incident, it is not a simple clarification that can be solved.

Time. Everyone was silent and only felt that there was darkness in front of them, so did Dayu really mess up?

In this case, Xuanyuan Yi could only order people to quickly carry the charred corpse away and put it in a certain Yizhuang first, and send someone to guard it strictly.

"The order will be sent to the magistrates, and the people will be sent to register the Hua Chao people of Dayu, so that they will not be able to stay for the time being, if they are only passing merchants or travelers. The government should arrange for them to be fed and lodging. And take protective measures not to let the people of Dayu hurt people. ”

"The emperor is wise."

After retreating, Xuanyuan Yi looked heavy and prepared to go to the Imperial Garden to relax and empty his mind to see if he could come up with a way to crack it.

Lu Yinglan hurriedly looked for it. Stopped him: "Your Majesty." What's wrong with the snow? Is Xiao Han really missing? ”

Xuanyuan Yi rubbed his eyebrows. Said: "I received the news that Xuekong was killed, but I don't know who sent the letter, so I can't be sure yet." Xiao Han is not necessarily missing. He's only been gone for two days, maybe he didn't send back news, but there is no need to believe that. ”

"That's it, I'll go to the flower dynasty with your father, and we'll be fine here."

Xuanyuan Yi said: "Concubine, don't join in the fun, don't you think I have enough things to do now?" ”

It's really a shame that she can think of it, and she even wants to run to Huachao, and if two more people are missing, his head will die of pain.

"Your father said that now that people are panicking, you have to be calm, calm in order to come up with a solution."

"I know, how is my father now?" Min Yu had come up with a cure before, and the Emperor Taishang had to soak in the potion all day, so he couldn't come out.

Lu Yinglan said: "He said that it seems to have some effect, but it will take a few days to soak." ”

You still have to soak for a few days, and you still say that you want to go to the Flower Dynasty? I'm worried that my niece will be stupid. Xuanyuan Yi shook his head.

At this time, Min Yu hurriedly ran over and said, "Your Majesty, Emperor Taishang's ministers rushed to the Hua Dynasty." ”

"Why is that?"

"Emperor Taishang remembered that Song Xinyue's faction was good at using drugs and poisons, and most of them were crooked, and he was afraid that the general and his wife would fall into the way, and let Weichen do his best in the past." Min Yu said, his eyes shining with a slight excitement. He is dedicated to medicine, and naturally hopes to receive novel symptoms, access to a broader field of knowledge, and even incurable diseases that he can concentrate on overcoming. Of course, war is not good, but since war is inevitable, he certainly hopes to find the direction he can work best in it.

Xuanyuan Yi frowned and said, "The body of the Emperor Taishang? ”

"The emperor can rest assured, the minister can guarantee that this time the medicine will definitely cure the stubborn disease of the emperor, the minister has prepared the medicine for the next two months, two months later, the emperor's body is definitely good, just need to recuperate well, this is the imperial doctors of the hospital."

"Min Yu, you must know that the Hua Dynasty is about to go to war, and when the war is in chaos, no one can absolutely guarantee your personal safety."

"Your Majesty, the minister knows."

"Okay, you should be needed over there, in that case, you go home and get ready to go, I will send a few guards to follow you."

Folk rumors abounded, most of which were unfavorable to the Hua Dynasty and Dayu, and the people's hearts were panicked and the army's morale was shaken.

Hua Yuanjin received the information, and he couldn't sleep all night, this time, they really fell into an extremely difficult situation, and they couldn't even see the light in front of them.

And if they can't cope with it, the result will be the ruin of the country and the family, which is too tragic for them to bear.

Ruolan took a cloak and walked over and gently draped it on for him.

"Your Highness, is there still no news from the snowy sky?" Ruolan also had deep worry in her tone, she and Rao Xuekong had already been friends, so they were naturally worried about her.

Hua Yuanjin shook his head and said, "The elite team formed by Xuekong has arrived in Heli, and when it arrived at the place where Xuekong sent Xuanyuan to leave, they have been searching for two days and two nights, but they have not found anything. ”

"Don't you even have any traces of a fight?"

"Nope. There is a dense forest there, and the local people regard it as a forest of gods and ghosts, and no one dares to enter it, and we all suspect that Xuekong has entered the forest of gods and ghosts. ”

"Then send someone in to find it."

"No one dares to go in, although the elite team was brought out by the snow, but they were also selected by the people of my flower dynasty, and they heard their names in that forest of gods and ghosts since they were children, and they were afraid of it, so they didn't dare to go in."

"How can you not dare to go in?" Ruolan was angry: "So what are people afraid of? It's just a forest, is there really a god or a ghost? ”

"It is rumored that no one who has entered the dense forest can come out, and at night, there will be a faint sound of ghosts crying in the dense forest, and there was once a merchant's horse running in, but after a while it neighed and galloped out, and as he ran, the flesh and blood on his body fell off, and when he ran in front of them, there was only a skeleton left! Those merchants were so frightened that they couldn't wake up. There were also children who came and went to run in and never came out, but the child's parents kept hearing the child's voice clearly in the forest outside the forest."

Ruolan was horrified when she heard it, and couldn't help but ask, "What sound?" ”

"The child kept crying and screaming, don't eat me, don't eat me, don't eat my hands, don't eat my feet!"

Ruolan couldn't help but burrow into his arms, and said in a trembling voice: "That forest, is it really a god and ghost?" But do gods and ghosts eat people? Could it be a man-eating monster? ”

"Nobody knows, because no one dares to go in anymore. That forest is not very far from the official road, but a few decades ago, a monk who had attained the Tao did the Fa on the side of the forest, saying that the things inside would never leave the forest for half a step, so as long as they did not enter the forest, the people were not afraid, and the official road was still passable. I was afraid that the snow sky didn't know about the forest, so I went in. ”

This thing is terrible, that forest is terrible. Ruolan didn't dare to say why those soldiers didn't go in.

In fact, if it is in modern times, I am afraid that some people who like to hunt for adventures will want to go in when they hear this, after all, for modern people, the theory of gods, ghosts, demons and monsters may not be believed. But for the ancient people, they had never even heard of the word science, they were superstitious, they believed in gods and ghosts, and many unexplained things would make them afraid or in awe, and they were naturally afraid of such forests.

It's like self-immolation, and they also think of souls, hell, and reincarnation.

Hua Yuanjin hugged her tightly and sighed: "Ruolan, wait until the day after tomorrow, if there is no news of Xuekong, I will personally go into the forest to find her." ”

Ruolan was startled and grabbed his arm tightly: "Your Highness, you, you, you want to go in?" ”

Hua Yuanjin nodded: "Xuekong is my sister, and also, she is for the Hua Dynasty, and it is because of my request that she stay in the Hua Dynasty as a general, if she is not a general, she should not encounter such a thing, it is reasonable that I Hua Chao owes her, and no one else dares to go into the forest to find her, how can I not go?" ”

Flowers towards the border.

Qingling's face was full of stubble, looking haggard, and he was looking at the sand table that Rao Xuekong had put out before him in the command hall.

"Haven't the Eastern and Western armies moved yet?" He asked Hua Ming opposite.

Hua Ming didn't know what he was thinking, Qingling asked twice and didn't hear it.

"Hua Ming!" General Hanada, who lifted the curtain and strode in, slapped him on the shoulder and said angrily: "What are you doing? ”

Hua Ming was startled and said, "What? ”

"Didn't you listen to Deputy General Qingling?"

Qingling waved his hand to say that it didn't matter, and asked again. Hua Ming said: "There is no movement. ”

"What are they waiting for?" Hanada also felt a little incomprehensible.

Soon, they knew what each other was waiting for.

Hearing the rumors that Da Yu and Hua Chao were getting more and more crazy, as well as the self-immolation incident, as well as the shaking of the morale of the military and the people, the three of them were shocked.

"How so?"

"So, Dayu's army hasn't set off yet?" General Hanada grasped this at once, and his thick brows furrowed, "They are just waiting for this!" Wait for these rumors to be in full play! It's not good, you have to prepare for the war quickly! When we receive this news, the East and West armies thirty miles away should also receive it, and they will attack soon! ”

"An army of one million, we only have 480,000 here, plus 20,000 defenders, a total of 500,000, a difference of double, how to fight?" The lieutenant who came to deliver the message next to him immediately shouted. (To be continued......)
