After dealing with these enemies, the Northern Army began to clean up the battlefield, Liu Nianru brought the injured Northern Army to the old military doctor for him to treat, and then went to find Duan Bailan.

Xiao Heng didn't know when he stood aside, and he witnessed this battle without suspense.

He finally understood what had come to him, that he was being used.

According to the emperor's temperament, in order to be safe, it is definitely impossible to shoot only such a few people, and some of these people who came up now are injured, Xiao Heng is more likely to think about what happened, he was used as a gun by Duan Bailan.

Xiao Heng stared at Duan Bailan viciously, Liu Nianru felt funny, and took the initiative to take the rag from Xiao Heng's mouth, she wanted to hear what Xiao Heng could say at this time.

Xiao Heng glanced at Liu Nianru, but this look did not linger on Liu Nianru for long, and instead moved to Duan Bailan, Xiao Heng sneered, "This time it was me who was careless, but don't think that you can really survive to the end." ”

Regarding Xiao Heng's remarks, Liu Nianru shrugged her shoulders, yes, this is a dead duck with a hard mouth.

"Duan Bailan, since you dare to use me as a gunman, you'd better be prepared to bear the consequences." Xiao Heng said, his vicious eyes were always on Duan Bailan.

However, Duan Bailan was stunned, and her eyes were full of clouds and light winds.

"Xiao Heng, I advise you to better stop doing those useless struggles." Duan Bailan didn't speak, but Liu Nianru spoke.

"Liu Nianru, what good can you do with him?" Xiao Heng narrowed his eyes, "If you don't use it to help me, I will definitely give you a satisfactory reward." ”

Yes, this has started to dig into his corner in front of Duan Bailan.

"What can you pay me?" Liu Nianru curled the corners of her lips and looked at Xiao Heng with a pair of smiling eyes.

Xiao Heng didn't see Liu Nianru's playful look and tone at all, and continued to speak, "As long as it is what you want, I can give it to you." ”

The smile on the corner of Liu Nianru's lips deepened, her lips opened slightly, as if she was interested, she asked Xiao Heng, "Really?" ”

Xiao Heng thought that he was going to succeed, and immediately replied to Liu Nianru, "Really! ”

Regarding the excitement in Xiao Heng's tone, Liu Nianru really didn't know what this man was thinking in his head.

"What if...... What about the throne? Liu Nianru spoke amazingly, and she came as soon as she opened her mouth.

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Heng also understood that Liu Nianru was teasing him just now.

The enthusiasm was instantly poured down by a basin of cold water on the head, his face turned from sunny to cloudy, and his eyes looked at Liu Nianru.

Liu Nianru didn't care, and continued, "Look, you can't give me what I want, why let me help you?" Don't say anything you can give me. ”

Xiao Heng's face was indignant, and he began to spit fragrantly, "You and Duan Bailan are just shameless!" The two of you...... balabala”

Liu Nianru couldn't listen anymore, closed her eyes, and stepped forward to stuff the rag back into Xiao Heng's mouth.

Well, the world was instantly cleared.

"Xiao Heng, do you know, for us, you are useless now." This time it wasn't Liu Nianru who said it, but Duan Bailan, and I don't know why he suddenly spoke.

It should be because of Xiao Heng's fragrant mouth just now, not only scolded him, but also scolded Liu Nianru.

Xiao Heng's face turned pale, after being taken down by Chen Qin that day, he tasted the pain of being tortured to extract a confession, Chen Qin didn't come to torture him again these days, he also forgot, but now, Duan Bailan's words reminded him of those experiences in the past, Xiao Heng couldn't help but shudder.

"You're useless to me, which means that I can do whatever I want to do to you now, and I don't have to worry about anything else." Duan Bailan continued to speak.

Xiao Heng glanced at Duan Bailan, this time his eyes were no longer vicious and resentful, but he was actually a little afraid.

Seeing Xiao Heng pursing her lips nervously, Duan Bailan sneered, took Liu Nianru's hand and left.

At this time, the battlefield was almost cleaned, Duan Bailan let everyone rest for a while, and then continued on their way.

……

Kyoshi, Imperial Palace.

General Liu entered the palace today to face the saint.

"Your Majesty, something is wrong." General Liu said as soon as he came, and he didn't even remember the most basic etiquette.

"What's so flustered, you're still a general, and you don't have any decency at all." The emperor frowned in displeasure, first criticized General Liu, and then asked, "Say, what's the matter?" ”

"Didn't Your Majesty send someone to encircle and suppress Duan Bailan, just in case he sent someone to follow, the result was ...... As a result, our army was completely wiped out! General Liu said that there were many of his soldiers among the people sent, which made General Liu very heartbroken.

"What?" I really don't know it, I was shocked when I said it, His Majesty the Emperor was shocked when he heard the news, and he actually failed?

However, the emperor is the emperor after all, and he quickly calmed down, and then began to think about a series of stakes and countermeasures.

What to do?

Duan Bailan was so strong, and the elite troops of more than 1,000 people all died under Duan Bailan's hands? And Duan Bailan's side didn't have too many casualties?

This strength or strategy made the emperor feel frightened, and he had an intuition that he must not let Duan Bailan return to Beijing, otherwise he would really have to sit on the throne with another person.

But......

Do you want to send someone to kill Duan Bailan again?

There was not much force in the palace, and in order to kill Duan Bailan, he had already gone out almost a third of the way, if he really had to send someone out again, the emperor needed to think about whether Duan Bailan would still have room to resist when Duan Bailan really entered the capital?

Rely on the army?

It is definitely impossible for the army to be in the Beijing Division, it will take several days just to assemble, and by that time, Duan Bailan and his party may have already arrived in the Beijing Division.

Calling the vassal king? Then this is even more unfeasible, not to mention the distance of the letter, it will take nearly half a month just for them to come over, and at that time, maybe the emperor will have already been replaced!

So...... What to do?

emperor

He frowned deeply and thought of all the ways he could, but in the end he found ...... There seems to be no way about it.

"General Liu, what do you think we should do?" The emperor finally raised his head and asked General Liu.

"Back to Your Majesty's words, the minister thinks that for the sake of today's plan, we can only take one step at a time, and we will not be able to prevent Duan Bailan from returning to Beijing......" General Liu said, he had also thought about this matter for a long time, but like the emperor, he didn't come up with any way.

"Take it one step at a time." The emperor repeated General Liu's words.
