In the palace of Longxingzhou of the Dalu Dynasty, sandalwood filled the entire room.

In the brazier in the room, charcoal burns vigorously. An iron kettle is erected on the basin. The boiling water is churning and churning, the water vapor is permeated, and the dryness of winter is suddenly dissipated.

The deacon and eunuch trotted over with broken steps, not daring to make a sound of footsteps. Although the steps are fast, every step is careful.

Carrying the kettle, he refilled the hot tea for the two who were playing against each other.

The man in the golden python robe was pale, obviously cultivating for the fee, and he had not yet recovered.

The emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, after all, it used to be a Divine Cultivator of the Upper Five Realms. Fearless of boiling water, take a sip from a teacup.

"Tea is a magical thing, every time you pass through the water, it has a different taste. This is the fourth course, which is very different from the first two. ”

In fact, his words are equivalent to farting in the eyes of ordinary people, and the taste of ordinary tea will become faint after passing through water. The best tea to drink is the second course of water, and the first one cannot be drunk and thrown away.

By the time I got to the fourth course, it was almost bland and tasteless.

The tea leaves in the palace are worth one or two gold, and of course, the four dishes are still full of tea fragrance.

Emperor Lu Dingyingqian said: "The national teacher doesn't want to taste it?"

The old man in black worships the tiger, and his mind is on the chess game in front of him. Holding the sunspot in his hand, he was very satisfied after settling down.

Victory in this game is in sight, even if it is playing chess with the emperor, it is still not polite to win.

He took a sip from his teacup: "It's really good." ”

Emperor Lu Dingying's mind is not here, and he does not have the emperor's frame when he talks to the national teacher Chonghu.

asked: "My birthday is approaching, and the prince has a good plan for choosing a national teacher." ”

Chonghu was very casual: "Your Majesty already has the answer in his heart, and asking Weichen is just a formality." ”

"It's not a secret, it's an internal affair of the royal family, and as a foreign minister, you shouldn't be involved. Since His Majesty asked, Weichen dared to say a word. ”

"Your Majesty only has two sons, and His Royal Highness Lu Jun and Lu Jie each have their own defects. In comparison, His Royal Highness Lu Jun is better. ”

"Your Majesty has been dragging the crown prince for nothing, just waiting for His Royal Highness Lu Jun's appearance to recover. ”

"Now that His Royal Highness Lu Jie has been drained of his limbs, His Majesty has just a reason to appoint His Royal Highness Lu Jun as the crown prince. ”

Lu Dingying seemed to be entangled: "But Jun'er's face ......"

The emperor didn't say anything, and Chonghu knew what he meant. said with a smile: "Your Majesty, rest assured, within three years, His Royal Highness Lu Jun will definitely look the same as before." ”

Lu Dingying stopped looking at the chess game directly, and praised: "It's good, it's good." ”

Cornering the corner, he finally pulled the topic to the issues he cared about.

Lu Dingying asked tentatively: "National teacher, then my cultivation ......?"

Among smart people, there is no need to say things clearly. Chonghu said bluntly: "After this dark tide, Your Majesty's cultivation can be gradually restored. ”

Lu Dingying asked: "Oh, I heard that this dark tide is not small, and Long Xingzhou's luck is passive. ”

Chonghu was silent, apparently acquiescing.

Lu Dingying continued to ask: "How did the national teacher know that the Trapped Dragon Continent and the Barbarian Continent would definitely win this time, and wouldn't the Trapped Demon Cave win the two continents in one fell swoop?"

The stone in Chonghu's words was shocking: "No, it is easy for the Trapped Demon Cave to break through the two continents." They were stoic, not afraid of the monks of the two continents. ”

He pretended to be mysterious, he paused, and after arousing Lu Dingying's full appetite, he said slowly: "What the Trapped Demon Cave is afraid of is the prohibition between the two continents, launching the dark tide again and again, absorbing the souls of the two continents, and blackening the creatures of the two continents. ”

"In the end, the goal is nothing more than to weaken the luck of the two continents. ”

"And the prohibition between the two continents relies on the energy that comes from the luck of the two continents. ”

"The Trapped Demon Cave is equivalent to drawing wages from the bottom of the cauldron, step by step to the death of the two continents. ”

As the emperor of a great dynasty, Lu Dingying cannot praise the national teacher's knowledge.

Full of joy: "With the assistance of the national teacher, my Dalu Dynasty is just around the corner." ”

"What the national teacher said is the secret news of the two continents, dare to ask where the national teacher learned about it, can you ensure that the news is accurate?"

Chonghu smiled faintly, hugged his fists and said: "Please don't ask, Your Majesty, there are some things that Weichen doesn't dare to say, and he can't say it." ”

Lu Dingying was quite obedient and immediately kept silent. At this time, I remembered that there was still a chess game, and when I looked down, I saw that three chess pieces had died in the three corners of the south, north, and east.

This game will undoubtedly be lost, but there is no atmosphere in the slightest. said with interest: "The national teacher's bureau contains doorways, can you explain them one by one?"

Chonghu did not hesitate, and raised his hand to point at the sunspot that was about to be swallowed in the south corner of the chessboard.

"This is the country of books and waters, and it is the next move of the Great Lu Dynasty. ”

Lu Dingying asked: "Oh, the use of the internal friction between the rivers and lakes of the Shushui Kingdom and the imperial court was destroyed by Chuanjian Villa and Xingzhen and others, and the national teacher has other means?"

Chonghu smiled calmly: "Your Majesty can rest assured, eating a piece of chess piece is not something that can be completed by a certain piece, but surrounded step by step." ”

"Just like this chess game, the chess pieces of the book water country have not really surfaced. Also in less than three years, I only need to send 30,000 troops to take the country of Shushui in one fell swoop. ”

Chonghu didn't say anything in more detail, and Lu Dingying didn't ask much. He has absolute trust in this national teacher.

Pointing to the north corner of the chessboard, he asked, "This is Beiliang?"

The national teacher nodded and explained: "Beiliang may be slow, or it may be fast." Everything is unknown, and now Weichen is not sure. ”

Lu Dingying agreed: "Slow is because of the rise of the Northern Wilderness, and fast depends on the actions of the Northern Frontier." ”

For this, the two hit it off. Chonghu then pointed to the eastern corner.

"This is the Great Sui Dynasty, the number one enemy of my Great Lu Dynasty, the most difficult bone to gnaw down. ”

"This game is the slowest, you have to have enough patience and they wear it down. Your Majesty doesn't need to be in a hurry, it's just a matter of time, sooner or later it will be the meat of my Dalu Dynasty. ”

You say a word to me, a chessboard, and the two of them delineate the general direction of Longxingzhou.

Lu Dingying was excited and asked two questions: "Why don't you understand the west? Behind us, can they settle the Sword Sect? What if the Sword Sect intervenes?"

Chonghu explained: "There are a few small countries in the west, but it is the vassal king Lu Dinglu who is the biggest concern. ”

"He's waiting for us to attack other countries and our strength is depleted. ”

"Fortunately, he waited for the opportunity to help us guard the western gate of the Great Lu Dynasty. ”

"It's just a town in Xicheng, and when our surroundings are almost settled, it's not too late to deal with him. ”

Lu Dingying was still not at ease: "Won't Lu Dinglu take the opportunity to rise up when we start a war with the Great Sui?"

Chonghu showed a gloomy smile: "Before starting a war with the Great Sui, you must first destroy the vassal king Lu Dinglu. As for his Zhenxi City, it doesn't cost a single soldier. ”

"Your Majesty will understand the specific matters. Please also rest assured that your Majesty can leave all the power to the minister. ”

Lu Dingying smiled brightly: "What about the last Sword Sect?"

Chonghu pointed to the south outside the chessboard and sighed: "After the battle of the Trapped Demon Cave, the strength of the Sword Sect has been greatly reduced. With the little strength left, it's time to start preparing for Wanghai Cliff. “

"The interior of Longxingzhou will be a piece of free land. As long as there is not too much bloody storm, the Sword Sect is powerless to intervene. ”

Lu Dingying reminded: "There is also a Cailuan Academy?"

Chonghu was quite unimpressed: "Cailuan Academy is closer to Wanghai Cliff, Your Majesty can rest assured." ”

is also a dynasty, and the Northern Xinjiang Dynasty at this moment has also taken action.

In the golden tent, on a huge sand table, it covers all of Beiliang and most of Northern Xinjiang.

In the center is a man dressed in a golden fox fur, and the other dozen or so are all wearing cotton robes.

The fox fur man is full of heroism in middle age, and most of the rest are old men with gray hair and beards.

The old men pointed to the counties bordering Beiliang and Northern Xinjiang, and the spittle stars were scattered and arguing.

It is said that it is easy to start with Yucheng County, which is the weakest. After joining the army, you can drive straight into the hinterland of Beiliang.

It is also said that attacking from Qiuluo County, which has the longest border line, is suitable for launching a large-scale charge, and can give full play to the strength of the northern Xinjiang army.

It is also said that Tiesigu County, which has a warm relationship with northern Xinjiang, will attack, and perhaps the county will surrender without a fight.

It is also said that when attacking from Goujun, which has repeatedly violated the Northern Xinjiang Dynasty, they are a group of bandits. There is no combat power in the loose sand.

Zhengtong County, Caoyi County and Lianghan County, which are not up to strength, also have old guys pointing fingers and not planning to let go.

These old guys include the first assistant of the Northern Xinjiang Dynasty, the prime minister, and the first rank of the first rank of the six Shangshu Khan.

There are also the chiefs of the top five tribes in Northern Xinjiang, all of whom are bigwigs who can affect the direction of the Northern Xinjiang Dynasty by stomping their feet.

These high-ranking officials of the temple are polite on weekdays, and they look humble when they meet each other.

Now arguing about it, there is nothing left of the so-called Svending. The quarrel is red-faced, and all kinds of meat words such as father, mother, and wife are used.

There were also two old men who were trembling when they walked, rolled up their sleeves and pinched them together.

The only thing that remained fairly consistent was that there was one remaining Wangye County bordering northern Xinjiang, which collectively chose to turn a blind eye.

There was a commotion in the big tent, and the man in the golden fox fur clasped his hands and watched coldly.

A eunuch tiptoed over to the man and whispered in his ear: "Your Majesty, do you want to let these adults be quiet first?"

Seeing that the fox man shook his head slowly, the eunuch didn't say much, and left the man's side backwards.

However, these ministers have no self-knowledge at all, and the more noisy they are, the more fierce they become. The hands-on fight has changed from one pair to two, and the others still want to continue to join.

The emperor of the Northern Xinjiang Dynasty, Nuerlie, shook his head slightly: "It's still the national teacher who is smart, and he expected today's situation." Slip away in advance, and leave me alone to suffer here. ”

He was particularly dissatisfied, and said to himself: "Hmph, damn the national teacher, the three hundred Beiliang beauties promised to you will be halved." ”

Hearing the emperor speak, these ministers realized the gaffe. After stopping, they bowed their heads and were silent, and they were a little unsteady standing tremblingly.

Nurri said calmly: "Have you quarreled enough?

Most of the emperors are uncertain, and when the thunder is furious, they may open the net. When you are calm like this, you really have a murderous intention, that is, it is not easy for the king of heaven to come.

A group of ministers fell to their knees, what His Majesty is gracious, the old minister is guilty, the old minister should die, and so on and there is a bunch of mess.

Nurlie was slowly solemn, and his tone became cold: "Since the quarrel is too much, give me a satisfactory answer." ”

If you want to live longer by the emperor's side, you must first learn to figure out the holy will. Now Nurlie is cloudy and uncertain, and none of the old ministers in the group dare to touch his brow.

I didn't dare to get up on my knees, and no one could give an answer. For fear that if you accidentally say the wrong thing, you will incur a catastrophe of death.

Nurri watched the play and asked, "Since you don't have an answer, let me tell you." ”

All the ministers are cunning and cunning, and they immediately understood the emperor's intentions. It turned out that he had already made up his mind where to start, and he waited for these old ministers to make mistakes, and then made a final decision on his own.

If you want to understand, you will understand, and no one dares to refute it.

Nurri pointed to a place that no one had mentioned: "That's it. ”

All the ministers were moved, and they did not dare to say much because of the emperor's prestige. Not to mention how depressed I am, some people even ponder death.

Nurri had foreseen it and pointed to the pillar inside the tent: "Those who want to kill themselves, I am ready for you." ”

The ministers were dumbfounded.

Nuerlie continued: "It is necessary to fight the strongest force in Beiliang, and the entire Beiliang is cold. Seeing the army of my Northern Xinjiang Dynasty, I was frightened before the war began. ”
