"That's right, Master Su said that Chen Qi and Zheng Lun are ruthless and I have heard of it, but what is your uncle...... Uh......" Xu Fu was always a little embarrassed to scold his uncle in front of Su Xiaochen.

"I understand what General Xu means, my uncle is indeed not a kind-hearted person, but he at least understands one thing, if the people are boiled, there will only be a hundred harms and no benefits in defending the city, so he will not easily move the lives of the people like Chen Qi and Zheng Lun. Moreover, he has always wanted to use the people of the low-lying southern city as a natural barrier to block the palace in the northwest corner, and in his calculations, the people have other uses. I have now set up these eighteen kingdoms to ambush the city, so that he will feel that the people have been mixed with the enemy, and they will neither be moved nor trusted, and then force him to retreat his troops to high ground. In this way, the people of the imperial capital will be safe for the time being. ”

"I see...... Mr. Su was really far-sighted. Xu Fu pinched the wine glass, savored his words, and felt that they had a deep meaning.

Eagle Tail flicked up his sleeves and poured another cup for Su Xiaochen: "It's not that the slave and maid boast, my father was also a learned person in Beijing back then, and the slave and maid have seen many young talents since they were children. But it is indeed rare to see someone as well-informed as Master Su. Even a small, remote country in a remote place can see clearly......"

Su Xiaochen sighed: "Maybe this is a coincidence." I have heard my uncle occasionally mention these things when he has nothing to do since I was a child, and it seems that it is not very useful to memorize these knowledge, and he does not care too much. However, where there is really useless knowledge in this world, it is only because the time has not yet come to use it for a while. Speaking of which, my uncle must not have imagined that the reason why he was able to scheming was precisely because he was proficient in diplomacy, which is the impermanence of the world. ”

He stood up and walked out of the tent, looking at the loneliness of the stars in the sky, and the feeling in his heart seemed to be surging for a while, and he couldn't help but say to himself: "Uncle You, he has raised me for seventeen years after all, and there are some things that I still can't bear to do." I can't tell whether it's right or wrong to do this, Uncle You said that if you only act according to your heart, there is no obstacle in heaven and earth, and you don't have to worry about right and wrong. But why...... I'm still going to feel so bad. Uncle You, am I taking the right step or not......"

When he was preoccupied, he heard someone whispering in his ear: "Brother, are you really going to fight against your father?" ”

Sister Ye Yin.

Su Xiaochen saw her sad face and knew her thoughts.

Father and brother are on one side, and neither side can help, and once a war breaks out between men, it will not be easy to give up. To this day, Ye Yin still doesn't know that there is no blood relationship between her brother Su Xiaochen and her father, and Su Xiaochen can't bear to tell her the truth.

If she asked, he might have said it, but as long as he didn't ask, he still wanted to maintain the friendship between brother and sister in the old days, because once he said it, he didn't know if Ye Yin's gaze would be much stranger when he looked at him.

Seeing that Su Xiaochen was silent, Ye Yin became more and more worried: "Brother, you won't really have ...... Do you have that in mind? ”

That kind of mind.

Ye Yin was afraid that if she broke this layer of window paper and said the sentence of cannibalism, she would become a prophecy.

"Sister Yin, do you know what I want to do most now?"

"I don't know."

"I would most like to ask my uncle face to face what he is going to do before he stops. In his heart, you and your aunt are the people he wants to shelter. So, until I meet him, he won't have any surprises. You can rest assured. ”

"But...... That old Xu said just now, why don't you let the eagle tail go directly to stab Daddy, I'm so scared......"

"Don't be afraid, although Eagle Tail has this ability, but Qiu Yue made it very clear when she asked her to help me, she only obeys my orders and will not make her own decisions."

Su Xiaochen glanced at the tent, saw that Lao Xu and Cao Xiwen were drinking, and said in a low voice: "It's you, which makes me feel very relieved." Washios told you privately, right? Lao Cao's death......"

Ye Yin bit her lower lip and nodded.

"If Cao Xiwen knew that his father had died at the hands of his uncle, you would ...... with him"

"He said, I'm me, my dad is my dad!"

"But if you really believe this, why am I always sullen when I see you?"

Ye Yin was obviously said to be in her heart and was silent.

"Sister Yin, have you ever found fault with him?"

Ye Yin's neck turned red with a "swish", and it took a while before shaking her head.

"In this case, there are some things that I am afraid that the paper will not be able to hold the fire, if it is destined to not have a good ending, why not stop it before you can find out? You think, if he always has hatred, he will only be afraid that he will not be able to do his best to you in the future. ”

Ye Yin knew that Su Xiaochen's words were very reasonable, but these days she and Cao Xiwen have spent their ups and downs together, although she has not shown her heart, she has already put her heart on him for a moment.

She smiled miserably and said, "Brother, do you know what I'm thinking now? I was thinking, if he really knew everything, and hated me because he hated my father, even if he really wanted to kill me, the daughter of the enemy, as long as he could never regret his father's revenge, and not have to live his life with guilt, I would ...... and rejoicing. After that, he couldn't help but throw himself into Su Xiaochen's arms, and the tears were already rolling down.

Su Xiaochen stroked Ye Yin's head, and couldn't help but burst into tears, and said softly with relief: "Silly girl, how could my brother let this happen, and how could he not protect you?" When I was on the Hanjiang River, I promised my uncle that I would take good care of you for the rest of my life, and of course I would not watch you be wronged. ”

"Daddy?" Ye Yin raised her head and asked in disbelief, "Let you take care of me?" ”

"Yes......" Su Xiaochen didn't want to say too much, let alone mention that Ye Zhiqiu wanted Ye Yin to be a concubine that day, so he had to deal with it vaguely.

What's more, Ye Yin now has a heart to belong to, which is really a happy thing, so why mention it.

* * * * [520 ]* *

In just ten days, Ye Zhiqiu is no longer as calm and relaxed as before.

Obviously controlling 25,000 people all over the imperial capital, and protecting Qinghuai Villa inside and out, but there is no sense of security.

From Dengyan, Fufeng to Changyun, Xili, and then to Hun Rong, Wuzhi, the emblems of various small countries have appeared one after another.

Good at poison, hidden, good at fighting, and skillful.

It seems that all countries and ethnic groups are not here to reinforce, but to treat the imperial capital as a stage, and they have shown their most proud skills, and they are scrambling to invite the emperor of Cangwu to take credit.

While Ye Zhiqiu was surprised by Emperor Wen's diplomatic skills, he also secretly blamed himself for why he didn't expect him to have such a strange trick. After all, Emperor Wen still has a lot of pigeon harriers in his hands, and it is not difficult to send a letter to these eighteen countries.

Oh no, it's the Nineteen Nations!

What made Ye Zhiqiu panic was that there was actually a sharp blade inserted in the big locust tree in the courtyard of Qinghuai Villa last night, and the emblem on the blade was something he had never seen before!

Which side is this? Can the haunted and unguarded Qinghuai Villa be like entering a no-man's land?

Where did he think that it was when Eagle Tail was eavesdropping on the conversation between Ye Zhiqiu and Chen Zheng in the dark, and he easily inserted the rib gap short knife used by Liuxia Mist Hidden Stream there.

Eagle Tail was actually on a whim, and I didn't know if the well-informed Master of the Ministry of Rites in Master Su's mouth knew the emblem of my Liuxia Kingdom. If you really know, then you are really capable. Anyway, there are eighteen countries, and I don't care if there is one more.

The eagle tail went back to the camp to rest after inserting the short knife, she didn't expect such an insertion, but Ye Zhiqiu didn't dare to close her eyes for two nights in a row.

The enemy who knows the root is not terrible, but the one who does not know the details is terrifying!

Ye Zhiqiu tried his best to stabilize his mind, but how could he?

Since Zheng Lun suddenly encountered a fight with the soldiers of the "Hun Rong Country" on the streets east of the city, and was buried by more than 400 people in a secret tunnel, he has become a frightened bird, and he personally leads troops to patrol the city every day. Not only that, but he also hinted to Ye Zhiqiu more than once privately whether this Chen Qi had a ghost, otherwise why did Chen Qi always meet people from the Eighteen Kingdoms when he patrolled the city.

"Lord Ye, maybe the people of the Eighteen Kingdoms would have been put into the city by Chen Qi when we didn't know it!"

"It's a divisive plan! How can you be fooled? Ye Zhiqiu actually had doubts in his heart, but he tried his best to stabilize Zheng Lun, and he still didn't want to plan for the worst.

"It's just a barbarian race, where there are so many schemes, more than 400 brothers have died under my men, and he is unscathed! Lord Ye should not believe in him too much. ”

"However, if something goes wrong, won't the Dragon Scale Army fall apart?!"

This is the latest dispute between Zheng Lun and Ye Zhiqiu, and no one can convince anyone. Ye Zhiqiu would never believe that Chen Qi was a collaborator with a foreign clan because of some speculation. When Zheng Lun heard this, he insisted on secretly keeping an eye on Chen Qi, since he couldn't speculate, then the best way was to get evidence of his collaboration with the enemy.

Ye Zhiqiu was really difficult to convince him, so he could only agree to Stalk's request sullenly.

How can these words be hidden from Vultry's Tail?

After she returned to the camp, she told Su Xiaochen about the ins and outs, and then said with a smile: "If Master Su can trust me, this matter will be handed over to the slave maid, and Master Su will not be disappointed." ”

Su Xiaochen saw that she seemed to have an idea, and knew that she had always done things safely, so she nodded and said, "If you say so, I will naturally believe you, and you will go by yourself." ”

Eagle Tail got Su Xiaochen's consent, so he sneaked into the imperial capital before dawn the next day, first went to the ready-to-wear shop and went around, bought a brocade and draped it on his body, picked out a few exquisite hairpin ornaments to wear, wiped his cheeks and blushed his lips, and pretended to be a glamorous official lady.

Before the morning dawned, Chen Qi had already led his troops to the northwest of the imperial capital to patrol the city as usual. The eagle tail crouched on a high place and saw that Zheng Lun was following Chen Qi from a distance, and knew that the fish had been hooked, so he hurried to the intersection in front of Chen Qi.

That Chen Qi was riding a tall horse and was wandering around, but he heard a soft moan as soon as he passed the intersection. He looked over the pier and saw a woman sitting in the snow on the side of the road.
