Chapter 165: The Eastern Crusade
"Zhuge Yun, you'd better give this king an explanation."
In the palace of the king of Xinjiang, the man on the throne was bowing his head and playing with the dagger in his hand, although his tone was very flat, but it made people tremble inexplicably.
"If you want soldiers, this king will give it, and if you want Tiehua to guard, this king will also dial it..."
Cheng Xiaoya slowly raised his head and looked at the girl below, "As a result, you now tell this king that he has escaped?" ”
The glittering dagger swirled rapidly between the man's fingers, "Have you forgotten what this king told you earlier?" ”
He smiled and said, "Or is it that the talented girl can't wait to go to the crotch of the Sword King?" ”
"Your Highness is angry."
Zhuge Yun bowed his head and said: "It is true that it is my fault to let the princess escape from the royal city, but there is a reason for it, and I ask Your Highness to allow me to report it." ”
The man stopped the spinning dagger, "Speak." ”
"The reason why I missed this time is entirely because of Yao Xiaohao..."
"Yao Xiaohao?"
Cheng Xiaoya interrupted the girl's words, and he chuckled: "Shouldn't the talented girl want to tell this king that there are more than 500 people in total, and all of them have been dragged down by an unpopular Qinglou boss." ”
"If this Qinglou boss alone defeats more than fifty Ling Wei Realm masters, including Tiehua's personal guards, will His Highness still feel that he is not in the stream?"
"Oh?"
The man's expression moved slightly, "Is there such a thing?" ”
"Yes."
Zhuge Yun said in a deep voice: "That Yao Xiaohao is a martial artist who has entered the realm of potential, and because of his help, Wang Nu and the others will escape from the Zuixiang Building." Although I taught the people to signal the lockdown in time, they still escaped through the east gate. ”
"If this king is not mistaken, the princess does not know martial arts, Cheng Qiyang is injured, and her two maids are just Ling Weijing. With just these few people, how can they escape from the east gate guarded by Wan Yan Bo? ”
"This..."
Seeing the girl's unspeakable appearance, Cheng Xiaoya frowned impatiently, "Say." ”
"According to the guards at the east gate, when Wang Nu and the others broke into the city, His Excellency the Sword King was molesting a woman who had just been taken captive by him on the city tower..."
Seeing that the man's expression changed slightly, Zhuge Yun slightly hooked the corners of her mouth, she lowered her head and continued: "Although the Sword King also went out of the city to stop it later, he still couldn't intercept them. ”
"Why?"
"Because there is Guo Yu by the side of Her Royal Highness. is also in the realm of entering the potential, even if his strength is not as good as that of the Sword King, but he can stop him for a moment. In addition, a few of them have horses, and the sword king has no horses, so they can't intercept them. ”
The girl raised her face and looked calm, "Since Guo Yu and the princess have gathered together, it should be as I speculated before, he has reached some agreement with the princess on behalf of the Northern Song Dynasty. Accidents are inevitable, and His Highness should have made plans in advance. ”
"What are you going to do, strike first and go south to cut down the Song Dynasty? Next time, next time by all means. ”
Cheng Xiaoya touched his chin with one hand and looked at Zhuge Yun standing below playfully, "Unless you see this king's good niece lying in this king."
Otherwise, don't think that this king will move his army. ”
Listening to the desire of the man on the throne to hide his niece in the slightest, Zhuge Yun suddenly felt a wave of nausea.
She forcibly held back the disgust in her heart and said: "Your Highness is laughing, it is true that you want to strike first, but the target is not the Northern Song Dynasty, but Dongwu City. ”
"What do you mean?"
Under the gaze of the man, the girl talked eloquently, "The nine cities in today's territory, except for Dongwu, where Wang Minghua is located, are all under the banner of King Xian, and the rebellions of all tribes in the territory have also been cleared, and His Highness is only one city away from unifying the northern Xinjiang. ”
"Since there is only Dongwu left in the place where His Royal Highness's troops have not reached, then in the same way, the only thing that the princess can hope for is Dongwu City."
"Not bad."
Cheng Xiaoya nodded approvingly, "You continue." ”
Zhuge Yun said slowly: "Before entering the palace, I have persuaded the Sword King to go out of the city to pursue, although there should be no mistakes with the Sword King, but there are always exceptions to everything. Since Guo Yu can escape the first time, he may not be able to escape the second time. ”
"Yes, I suggest that Your Highness immediately send troops to Dongwu. If the King of Knives can't bring back the princess, then the conquest of Dongwucheng is inevitable, if the King of Knives can bring it back and sweep away the worries of the Southern Expedition to the Song Kingdom, His Royal Highness can't keep this Wang Minghua. ”
"Reasonable."
The man smiled and clapped his hands, "Then according to your words, after Yan Bo comes back, he will transfer troops to attack the east..."
As he spoke, a burly man in armor walked in briskly from outside the hall, and the footsteps were particularly clear in the slightly empty hall.
"Your Highness."
The person who came walked to Zhuge Yun's side, immediately knelt on the ground, bowed his head and said: "The sword king who left the city without permission has returned, and his injuries are not light, and he is now healing in the city." ”
Isn't it lightly hurt?!
Hearing these four words, the girl next to the man was startled.
In this northern frontier, someone can seriously injure the Sword King?!
It's ridiculous.
What kind of strength is Wan Yanbo? At the peak of his potential, he can almost be said to be the first person under the grandmaster, how could anyone hurt him?
Thinking that someone had previously shook Lin Quan under the blessing of the immortal sound, a strange thought suddenly rose in Zhuge Yun's heart.
Could it be that Guo Yu again?
Not only Zhuge Yun, but the man on the throne also showed a look of surprise, and he immediately asked, "Did Wanyan Bo bring someone back?" You can see who hurt him. ”
"Your Highness, the Sword King is coming back by himself."
The armored man bowed his head and replied, "According to the Sword King, the person who injured him is the owner of the Zuixiang Building, Yao Xiaohao. ”
“…!!”
Zhuge Yun's eyes were even more different.
How could it be him?
When he left Zuixiang Building, he was already running out of oil, how could he help Guo Yu and others.
The girl here was surprised, Cheng Xiaoya above had already stood up from the throne, and he laughed angrily, "What a Yao Xiaohao, first hiding the princess under the nose of this king, and then again
Hurt the king's henchmen and favorite generals, can he really do whatever he wants when he has money?! Passing on the order of the king, a reward was issued in the northern Xinjiang, and those who got Yao Xiaohao were rewarded with 10,000 gold and sealed the lord of Dongwu City! ”
Hearing the man's order, Dahan was stunned for a moment, "Dongwu City Lord? ”
"Not bad."
Cheng Xiaoya waved his sleeves, "Immediately send an order to the city lords of the four cities of southern Xinjiang, Yubei, Fuling, and Baitai to bring the soldiers and horses in the city to the royal city, and this king will personally conquer Dongwu and unify the territory!" ”
"Yes!"
The big man nodded violently, then got up and hurriedly left the main hall.
"Your Highness."
Seeing that the man was about to mobilize troops and horses to go east, Zhuge Yun's eyes flashed with a hint of joy.
After Yan Bo had returned, the color embryo did not die in his hands. Although this result made her a little disappointed, as long as Cheng Xiaoya was willing to go east, everything would matter.
The soldiers of these four cities alone, including the soldiers and horses in the royal city, add up to a total of 50,000, and the soldiers in Dongwu City are only 20,000 at best, how can they resist Cheng Xiaoya's soldiers?
Even if Guo Yu is there, the miracle under Tianwei Pass will not be repeated, he is not Yang Zhiyong, and there is no grandmaster by his side.
Thinking about it, the girl clenched her fists with some excitement.
Just wait for the Dongwu to break and the northern Xinjiang to be unified, Cheng Xiaoya will wave his army to the south to knock on the pass, and then Dayong will raise troops together in Xinqi, and the Northern Song Dynasty will inevitably suffer from the enemy on three sides, and it is already a foreseeable thing to perish.
If the Northern Song Dynasty is destroyed, the result of grandfather's deduction will be in vain, in that case, Xiao Ming's brother's dream can come true!
Under the excitement, the girl's cheeks were flushed, and she was already quite beautiful, but now she looked even more attractive.
Cheng Xiaoya, who was still standing, glanced at Zhuge Yun, and the man was completely indifferent to her rare cute appearance. As for the girl's inadvertent thoughts, he just didn't see them.
"Although this trip is a miss, it is also dutiful after all, and this king will spare you this time."
Cheng Xiaoya waved his hand, "You can go down too, there will be a crusade in the east, there are a lot of things, and when the time comes, you will have to make suggestions and prepare for it." ”
"Yes."
Zhuge Yun leaned over and saluted the man, then turned to leave. She walked briskly, obviously in a very good mood.
In the middle of the night, when the girl's footsteps disappeared, only Cheng Xiaoya was left in the hall.
He sat back on his throne, the dagger still in his hand, the smile on his face fading.
In the huge palace, the man sat alone on the throne, looking a little lonely.
He put away the dagger and pulled out a strange iron plaque from his bosom.
The man stroked it gently, with extra care.
After a long time, he put the iron plate on his forehead, and the cold touch was like the gentle little hand of the woman back then.
The man slowly closed his eyes, hiding the gloom in his eyes.
"Huanhuan..."
Like choking, like sighing.
