The wind in the ears, the wind in the ears, the person who can serve the emperor, even if he is a beggar, will be respected. Not to mention, he still serves in such an important place as the imperial study.

It's just that whether the two sons of the Zhu family can withstand the test of Zhao Dongting and the temptation of the DPRK and China is obviously inconclusive.

When Zhao Dongting used Ren Wei, he had a long time to test, and he obviously had this intention for the two sons of the Zhu family.

After the two Zhu family sons calmed down a little, he spoke up again and said to Zhu Zongyao: "Hall Master Zhu, I also have something to worry you about. ”

Zhu Zongyao was already grateful to Zhao Dongting, and then thanked Dade, and respectfully bowed his hand and said: "Please also ask the emperor to order." ”

"Actually, it's not a big deal."

Zhao Dongting smiled lightly: "When I went to Liuqiu on this trip, I found a good seedling who practiced martial arts, he was from Waizhangjia Village, Haikang County, and he was only five years old. I studied him, and this little fellow had perseverance, stamina, and hardship, so I promised him to find a good master for him. I don't know if you have the leisure to teach this son, Lord Zhu? ”

Zhu Zongyao did not hesitate, but said: "The emperor likes the seedlings, Zhu Zongyao is naturally willing to teach." It's just that why didn't the emperor let the predecessors of the Hall of Glory personally accept the apprentices? ”

Zhao Dongting shook his head, "It's not necessarily a good thing to have a starting point that is too high, what I mean is to let you take him and all the worshippers in the Anwei Hall to exercise together." ”

Zhu Zongyao nodded, "Then Zhu will send someone to pick him up?" ”

Zhao Dongting groaned slightly, "Send someone over, and it's not in a hurry to observe him first." When I left Haikang, I told him that he should not forget to exercise his arm strength at home, and if he really did what I said, he would take him to Haikang, and his parents and family could also take him over, and the fate between me and him would be in vain. And if he doesn't take my words to heart, then he can only say that there is a fate between him and me, so let him live a peaceful life among the people! ”

"Okay."

Zhu Zongyao agreed.

After that, Zhu Zongyao, father and son left the dormitory compound together.

Zhu Zongyao went back to Wudingtang, Zhu Hecong and Zhu Haiwang went back to Zhu's house, preparing to enter the court to make a small yellow gate.

Days passed quickly.

The commander of the Western Xia army drove straight into Chongqing Prefecture, a city of green mountains devastated by the war.

More than half of the 50,000 people of the White Horse Army were lost in Yongmu, and thousands of soldiers were scattered, and less than 20,000 people were left in the final recovery of Tongchuan, so they did not dare to make any resistance.

Retreating all the way, the Kuizhou Road, which had just been included in the bag, was controlled by the Western Xia Army. Chongqing Mansion is now the last foothold of the White Horse Army, and if you don't resist here and still retreat, you can only retreat to Shuzhong. When the time comes, Kuizhou Road will no longer have anything to do with them.

Kuizhou Road, Fuzhou City, Fuzhou.

Li Wangyuan, the new emperor of Western Xia, took more than 50,000 Western Xia soldiers and Zhu Jun here, looking at Chongqing Mansion from afar.

At this time, it was evening, Li Wangyuan and Zhongsun Qifu and other old ministers, Helian Cheng and other young generals gathered in his tent, and all of them looked bad.

The six masters of Yipintang went out of Western Xia, and now they are back, but only four of them have returned.

It doesn't matter, the important thing is that they didn't even be able to put the Great Song Guangwang Zhao? m to bring back. This undoubtedly put Dexixia in an extremely passive position.

Li Wangyuan sat behind the bookcase, looking at the four Yipintang masters with ashamed faces in front of him, his face was gloomy, "Why failed?" ”

The powerhouse in the middle of the True Martial Arts Realm is Donggu, a martial arts master who has been famous for a long time in Western Xia, and when he heard Li Wangyuan's words, he replied: "Back to the emperor, it's me who is incompetent." In the Guangwang Mansion, there is the big devil Xie Lisan, who ranks third on the list of masters of the rivers and lakes, and I will wait...... Not his opponent. ”

"Xie Lisan?"

Li Wangyuan was so shocked that he almost stood up, but fortunately, after returning to Western Xia, he tried his best to keep Lao Cheng serious, so he couldn't let his ass leave the chair.

He himself was a master of the Shangyuan Realm, and he had no hope of recovering from the country when he was in the capital of the Yuan Dynasty before, so he just concentrated on practicing martial arts, so as not to be a little involved in the news of the masters of the rivers and lakes.

Xie Lisan's name is high on the list of masters in the rivers and lakes, and it is obviously difficult for him not to know.

This guy, who is second only to the Yuan Guoshi and the Sword God Empty Son, deserves to be the Great Grandmaster of the Demon Dao.

It was impossible for Li Wangyuan not to be surprised, because such a great master of the Demon Dao really had no reason to serve the king of Guang.

Could it be Zhao? What favor did M have on him?

Knowing that Xie Lisan was here, Li Wangyuan also understood that this trip to rob Zhao? m failed, it's really no wonder that Gu Dong and a few people.

The higher the realm, the more terrifying those guys who are in the top ten of the list of rivers and lakes are.

Li Wangyuan finally managed to suppress the surprise in his heart, and turned his head to ask Zhongsun Qifu: "Teacher, what should we do next?" ”

He really didn't have any idea in his mind.

Originally planned to hijack Zhao? m changed back to his sister, and now that the hijacking has failed, it is conceivable that the Song court has undoubtedly learned the news.

The alliance between Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty should have been formed by taking advantage of the trend, but I am afraid it is impossible.

The old grandson Qifu of Longzhong also frowned slightly, and first confessed: "The old minister heard that the spies in the Chaofu were uprooted by the Song Dynasty Military Intelligence Department on Guangnan West Road, and failed to find out the truth of the Guangwang Mansion, which led to the failure of this trip to worship several people, which is the sin of the old minister to take lightly, and ask the emperor to surrender." ”

Then he said: "Now that we are startling the snake, the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty must have known our thoughts, and it is no longer necessary to go down with the snake." The old minister thought that at the moment, we could only continue to send troops to Chongqing Mansion, take the entire Kuizhou Road first, and then find other ways to welcome back Her Royal Highness Princess Xiushu from the hands of the Song Dynasty. ”

Li Wangyuan frowned, "What the Song Dynasty wants is Kuizhou Road, if they don't exchange Kuizhou, how can they be willing to put Xiushu back?" ”

Zhongsun Qifu immediately came out and knelt on the ground, "The old minister begs the emperor to put state affairs first!" This Kuizhou was exchanged for flesh and blood by the soldiers, and it must not be given to the Song Dynasty! ”

Li Wangyuan's voice was low: "But Xiushu is my own sister!" ”

All the ministers and generals in the palace knelt on the ground, "I beg the emperor to put state affairs first!" ”

For them, Li Xiushu is obviously not as important as Kuizhou Road.

Li Wangyuan's eyes changed uncertainly, and he muttered: "If I can't even take care of my relatives, how can I set an example for all the people in the future?" ”

This topic is actually a cliché in the Western Xia court.

In the past, when Zhongsun Qifu and other old ministers heard Li Wangyuan say this, they would only persuade him with good words, or simply expose him. But this time, Zhongsun Qifu's actions were extremely strong and resolute.

He stood up suddenly, "If the emperor doesn't agree, then the old minister will die in this handsome tent!" ”

After all, he actually hit the sharp corner of the bookcase next to him.

Fortunately, there was an old minister behind him who was not slow to react, and hurriedly dragged the back hem of his shirt, "Lord Zhongsun!" ”

Even this old minister was taken by Zhongsun Qifu, which shows that Zhongsun Qifu is not a joke.

The ministers in the tent looked at Li Wangyuan with blank eyes, "Your Majesty! ”

Li Wangyuan looked at Zhongsun Qifu, there was no anger in his eyes, he just sighed deeply: "You guys...... I...... Alas, so be it! ”

The ministers secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and a slight smile flowed in the depths of Zhongsun Qifu's eyes.

In the entire Western Xia, he is undoubtedly the person who knows Li Wangyuan best.

Li Wangyuan seemed to be in a state of interest, and waved his hand, "You all go down and let me be quiet." ”

All the civil ministers and military generals came out in turn.

Zhongsun Qifu looked at Li Wangyuan deeply, and finally walked out of the tent.

There are other old ministers waiting for him outside the tent, all of whom are loyal old ministers who have worked hard for Western Xia led by him over the years.

The group left the tent farther and farther, and someone sighed: "Lord Zhongsun, why are you so impulsive this time, you have just become the emperor, and you are so disobedient and persecuting the emperor, the emperor is afraid that he will be dissatisfied with you......"

Zhongsun Qifu just chuckled and shook his head silently.

Perhaps, in a short period of time, Li Wangyuan will really be dissatisfied with him. But as long as it was a little later, he believed that the emperor would only trust and rely on him more.

Is the emperor as determined in his heart as ever to exchange Kuizhou Road for Princess Li Xiushu, others can't see it, can't he still see it?

With the emperor's temperament, if he is really as resolute as before, then even if his middle grandson Qifu is really killed, it will be useless.

Moreover, if the emperor wants to change, he will not wait until the current situation of the Kuizhou Road battle is close to a clear point and not send envoys to the Great Song Dynasty.

In the emperor's heart, he actually had the idea of abandoning Princess Xiushu.

Perhaps from the moment the emperor ascended the throne, the emperor's thoughts were already different from before.

His middle grandson Qifu was just deliberately doing it to give the emperor a step. This sin of abandoning the princess is borne by his middle grandson Qifu.
