Mu Tianwolf never expected that the Son of Heaven Longxing would suddenly come to Qinli Zhai, shouldn't he be feasting on hundreds of officials at this moment......

The shepherd wolf was a little apprehensive in his heart, he wasn't sure if Long Xing was suspicious of his three or two intrusions into Qinli Zhai, but he didn't have time to let him think too much, the shepherd wolf hurriedly bowed down and saluted: "The last general Shepherd Wolf will see Your Majesty!" ”

Thirteen also ran over and said, "Father, why are you here?" Look at the snowman I built with Brother Sky Wolf! ”

Long Xing held Thirteen's hand and said to Mu Tianwolf: "Haha, General Mu doesn't need to be polite, I originally had something to tell you, but I heard that as soon as you left the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace, you were pulled by Thirteen to Qinli Zhai, and I happened to have not been here for a long time, so I also came to take a look." This little guy, what is the little hand grasping, the ice is like a stone! ”

The shepherd wolf hurriedly said: "Your Majesty forgives the sin, the last general does not know the severity and trespasses on Qinli Zhai!" ”

Long Xing waved his hand and said, "It's okay, anyway, the two of you haven't been here once or twice, and you still have to say anything about trespassing." I knew that if it weren't for the little guy Thirteen playing tricks on the back, General Mu wouldn't have acted like this. As he spoke, Long Xing pinched Thirteen's nose.

Thirteen hurriedly said: "Father, then why did you block this courtyard?" If you don't block it, I wouldn't be in the mood to run this way all the time, giggle......" Thirteen smirked stupidly, as if he had done something worth showing off.

Long Xing patted Thirteen's little head and said with a smile: "You are still too young, and you won't understand some things when you say them." Now there are no pears in this courtyard, what are you doing here? ”

Thirteen also slapped his head, jumped up and shouted, "Ah! If it hadn't been for my father's reminder, I would have almost forgotten! I remembered that the old man said that he had buried treasure in this courtyard, and I came here with Brother Sky Wolf to dig up the treasure! It's a pity that we lost our minds when we came and forgot to take a shovel! ”

Long Xing probably regained this daughter because he was lost, and now he is particularly spoiled, and said to Zheng Jun behind him: "Find a shovel and accompany the thirteen to dig for treasures, I have something to say to General Mu." ”

Thirteen said, "Father, didn't you say you brought a snowman's hat?" Where? Long Xing handed Thirteen a piece of Jinpa, and said, "You can fold a hat yourself, play in the courtyard, and when General Zheng comes, let him accompany you to dig up treasures." ”

After speaking, Long Xing led the shepherd wolf to a house in the courtyard, Long Xing had the key in his hand, so he naturally opened the door easily......

After entering the room, Long Xing did not speak, but looked around at all the furnishings in the room, tables and chairs, calligraphy and paintings, beds, and stoves......

The shepherd wolf also fell into a different state of mind, everything in the house is probably the scene of Concubine Li's life in the past, is this the trace of his mother left in the world...... Why did he appear in the prison, and who designed to transfer himself......

Long Xing and Shepherd Wolf had their own thoughts, and they didn't speak for a long time, until Long Xing couldn't help but start to sigh, "I thought I could lock up the old feelings, lock the past, and lock the old people, but in the end, I only locked the sorrow and condensed into a knot ......in my heart."

The shepherd wolf didn't want to see the emperor show his true feelings in front of him, the so-called companion is like a tiger, maybe one day because of this matter, he will get himself into trouble...... Therefore, the shepherd wolf still did not speak, and Quan did not hear anything......

Long Xing sighed and said: "General Mu, Ge Shuhan wants to send troops in advance and start the Northern Expedition, I heard him say that he can have this inspiration, or is he inspired by you and Liu Suifeng, I want to know what you think about this?" ”

The shepherd wolf could only tell the truth and said, "Your Majesty, from the current point of view, the advantages of the cold winter battle outweigh the disadvantages. But in the long run, it will do more harm than good. ”

Long Xing said: "Oh? What do you mean by General Mu's words? ”

The shepherd wolf said: "The cold winter battle will undoubtedly greatly increase the non-combat deaths of soldiers on both sides, and the food and grass will also be a big trouble. If the grain planted during spring ploughing in the next year is requisitioned, I am afraid that it will also cause famine in some parts of the northern part of the empire, and make the banditry caused by the turmoil in the north even worse. Therefore, in the long run, it is not advisable to fight in the cold winter. ”

After listening to this, Long Xing said: "Then from the current point of view, what does it mean that the benefits outweigh the disadvantages?" ”

Shepherd Sky Wolf said: "These troubles faced by the empire also appeared in the Yan Kingdom, and the Yan Kingdom was even more scarce in terms of materials than ours, especially in terms of grain and grass. Coupled with the bitter cold of Yandi, the moats of many cities have been covered with thick ice, and the soldiers of the empire can walk on the ground! Yan Guo's soldiers are longer than iron horses, and shorter than defending the city, without the buffer of the moat, Yan Guo wants to defend the city, it is even more difficult. ”

After hearing this, Long Xing said, "Then according to General Mu's opinion, should I agree with Ge Shuhan, or should I reject him?" ”

At this moment, the shepherd wolf began to feel embarrassed......

If it was the former shepherd wolf, he would definitely not say a word, and would open his mouth to persuade the emperor to send troops immediately, and he would be caught off guard by Yan Guo! After all, even if the cold winter is fought, the deaths of the soldiers on both sides will increase several times, but the soldiers of the Tianlong Kingdom are several times more than the Yan Kingdom, the Tianlong Kingdom can afford to die, but the Yan Kingdom cannot afford to die!

In the past, the shepherd wolf never thought about the mortality rate of these ordinary soldiers, nor did he think about the famine, riots, and bandits that the war might bring......

But now, the shepherd wolf will unconsciously think of these things, and these things will actually influence his choice. But on the other hand, the Sky Shepherd Wolf was eager to fight a quick battle and destroy the Yan Kingdom as soon as possible, not only for himself, but also for the sake of the upcoming necromantic creatures......

In the end, the shepherd wolf did not convince himself to make a choice, so he could only say: "Your Majesty, the task of the last general is to eliminate bandits, ensure the stability of the empire, and the unimpeded flow of food and grass for the army. ”

Long Xing didn't give up, "Ge Shuhan said that you and Liu Suifeng came up with this idea, so I will come to you, and General Mu won't be sloppy with me anymore." ”

Seeing that this was impossible to hide, the shepherd wolf asked, "Dare to ask Your Majesty if you have ever asked General Liu, what is his opinion?" ”

Long Xing said: "When you were summoned by the Queen Mother, I had already asked Liu Suifeng, and he said that I should rule the world with benevolence, serve the world with virtue, put the people first, and put the society second......"

The shepherd wolf already understood that Long Xing wanted to send troops to the Northern Expedition in advance, otherwise after listening to Liu Suifeng's words, Long Xing would have rejected Ge Shuhan.

But the shepherd wolf was puzzled, why did Long Xing rush the Northern Expedition? It stands to reason that with the national strength of the Heavenly Dragon Kingdom, there is no need to take this risk, the Yan Kingdom is like a turtle in an urn, as long as it is slowly drawn, it will naturally be easily won......

Could it be that the dragon star has also learned about the necromantic creatures?

Mu Tian Wolf said: "Your Majesty, the last general thinks that the Northern Expedition should be sent immediately, Yan Guo will definitely not expect the empire to start a war at this moment, we can take advantage of its unpreparedness and take Zhongshan County in one fell swoop!" Once Zhongshan County is taken, the Yan Kingdom will be opened, and the empire can advance from Dai County, Fanyang County, and Bohai County in three ways to attack Yijing City! The fall of the Yan Kingdom is just around the corner! ”

Long Xing said: "Haha, what General Mu said is also the thought in the hearts of me and General Che Cai, but most of the officials in the court are inclined to Liu Suifeng's view, thinking that killing too much will make the people hungry and displaced, shaking the foundation of the empire." I have to think about the opinions of the hundred officials......"

Shepherd Wolf said: "Although Your Majesty is subject to the hundred officials, but the general of the chariot and the king of war do not need it, and the commanders of the Northern Expedition are the two of them." ”

After listening to the words of the Shepherd Wolf, Long Xing said with a smile: "Hahahaha, interesting, why didn't I think that I would be outside, and the king's order would be affected!" Ahem...... General Mu, your thinking is very dangerous, I hope you have an idea, but don't go on like this! ”

Long Xing walked out of the room after speaking, and the Sky Wolf had no choice but to follow, "The last general doesn't dare." ”

Although Long Xing didn't say anything, he said in his heart: Is there anything you don't dare to do? But this kid is becoming more and more like a lonely minister, and he doesn't care about the officials and scholars......

The shepherd wolf also had his own thoughts in his heart: when Beiyan and Nanchen are destroyed, the Monarch's Decree will be like nonsense to me......

The shepherd wolf didn't want to be this general at all, he just wanted to solve the trouble caused by the necromantic creatures as soon as possible, and then take the county lord and his friends to find a place to live in seclusion.

When Long Xing and the Heavenly Wolf Junchen came to the courtyard, Thirteen was digging with a small shovel, but after digging for a long time, they didn't see a big hole...... After all, the soil is frozen, and the little strength of the thirteenth can only lift a little cortex for the frozen soil......

Long Xing said: "Xiaoru, have you found the treasure?" Thirteen Dao: "Father, this soil is so hard that you can't dig ......"

After hearing this, Long Xing laughed, "Silly girl, then wait for the spring to warm up, and the soil in the courtyard thaws before digging it, the treasure can't run away." Thirteen immediately threw away the shovel in his hand and said, "Father is right, and this courtyard is so big, I don't know where the old man buried the treasure!" Father, have you seen an old man lately? ”

When the thirteenth princess returned to the capital from Bohai County, the prince's palace drama had come to an end, and Hua Nian had already been arrested and imprisoned.

The thirteenth princess suddenly asked about Hua Nian now, and Long Xing didn't know how to answer, so he could only say: "The old man is too old, go home to retire." Let other eunuchs play with you in the future. ”

Only the shepherd wolf knew in his heart that Hua Nian was dead, but the news had not yet reached the ears of the Son of Heaven......

Thirteen Dao: "This old man, he used to be always chattering, saying that he was a crippled person, and he had no one to support when he was old, even if he died one day, he couldn't go to the ancestral grave or something, why did someone suddenly provide for him?" ”

Long Xing said: "Don't worry, someone will take care of him." Didn't you get a hat for your snowman? How did you put a mask around him? ”

Thirteen said: "The hat folded out by Jinpa is so ugly, it's better to cover his face, and look like Brother Sky Wolf!" Father, do you think this snowman is very powerful now? ”

What can Long Xing say? "Well, Xiaoru is so smart, she can think of this method! Don't say it, at first glance, this snowman really looks a bit like General Mu! Let's go, we should go back, maybe the hundred officials are still waiting for me. ”

After speaking, Long Xing led Thirteen to the outside of the courtyard, and the shepherd wolf looked at this Qinli Zhai, and the snowman in the courtyard should be himself...... Zheng Jun came out last and locked the courtyard door again.

The shepherd wolf also followed the Son of Heaven to the side hall, and the banquet in the side hall continued, but the hundred officials hadn't seen the emperor for a long time......

Long Xing appeared again, and he also took the shepherd wolf, which made hundreds of officials speculate, all speculating whether the Son of Heaven had discussed something with the shepherd wolf, and some of them were secretly muttering, "Wasn't the shepherd wolf called away by the queen mother?" How to be with the emperor......"

Until the Son of Heaven announced that the border military situation was urgent, the general of the cavalry, Ge Shuhan, led his troops north on the same day to reinforce the king of war and stabilize the battle situation! Ge Shuhan came out and said: "The last general, Ge Shuhan, the order!" ”

Only then did the hundred officials know that the Son of Heaven still wanted to start the Northern Expedition in this harsh winter......

However, many of the officials turned their strange eyes to the Sky Wolf......
