Time rewinds to the day before Sun Mingyuan scolded angrily.

Du Pingfei was in the palace looking at the letter presented by his subordinates.

The words were black and white, and the words were heavy, but she seemed particularly uneasy.

It wasn't until Du Chengyuan shouted several times that she suddenly came back to her senses, her rose dancôme-coated nails tightly pinched the tissue paper, and asked absentmindedly, "What did you just say?" ”

Du Chengyuan couldn't help but take a look at it, and repeated what he had just said, "Niangniang, our people have already found the traces of the eldest princess and the second prince of the Northern Netherworld, do you think you need to do it?" ”

Du Pingfei glanced at him lightly, and asked instead of answering: "In your opinion, how should this matter be handled?" ”

Du Chengyuan looked at her in amazement, but subconsciously lowered his head when he touched such a cold and self-contained gaze.

He is no stranger to such questions.

Since he really stepped into this officialdom and had the opportunity to participate in the affairs of the imperial court, he was also summoned by Du Pingfei from time to time. At the beginning, he insisted on exchanging the monstrous wealth in his hands for the glory of the Huan Hai, which did not seem to be very cost-effective, but in fact he gained a lot.

The unwillingness to be deliberately suppressed due to the rebellion of the Du family has gradually disappeared into the deceit of Tianjing with this change of identity. At this moment, the ambition finally has the opportunity to display, and there is no need to deliberately hide the ability, which is not unpleasant.

All of this he felt was worth it!

Unconsciously, his thoughts drifted away, until he accidentally bumped into those deep eyes, he immediately sobered up, gathered his mind, and said respectfully: "Niangniang, Weichen thinks that this matter should be considered in the long run. ”

"Go on." Du Pingfei leaned sideways, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

In the mist, her eyes also seemed to be stained with mist, hazy, and she couldn't see it really.

Although Du Chengyuan was afraid of her thoughts in his heart, he was too eager to show his skills, and he didn't do anything modest, but calmly analyzed: "Weichen thinks that now that the war on the northern border has not ended, there is no conclusion on where the relationship between the two countries will go in the end. Just in case, it is only advisable to be cautious when dealing with the eldest princess of the North Underworld and others. ”

Du Pingfei's head drooped slightly, and after a long time, he said: "As far as this palace knows, good news has been reported to Tianjing on the northern border, why is it inconclusive in your mouth?" ”

Du Chengyuan smiled calmly, with a bit of businessman's cunning in his expression, "Niangniang is very wise, why do you want to take the school so much?" However, since you asked in person today, Weichen might as well analyze it. Yes, there was indeed good news at the border, but Wei Chen remembered that the person who submitted the good news was not Commander Xie Da, but one of his subordinates. Moreover, it does not mention the plan of the class master to return to the dynasty, which shows that things may change. ”

At the beginning, when Xie Fenghua left the army, the itinerary was in a hurry, and there was no time to present the war to the sky. So, Dou Changke was forced to ghostwrite and write down the good news, which turned out to be the source of Du Chengyuan's analysis at this moment.

This person is really meticulous.

Du Pingfei had a trace of appreciation in his eyes, but he said quietly: "But don't you think that if you can capture the Ming Xiang sister and brother alive, wouldn't it be more able to deter the Northern Ming and end the war in the north as soon as possible?" ”

"The mother has a point. But what if you can't capture those people alive? Du Chengyuan thought of this, and his brows tightened.

In his opinion, this battle broke out very suddenly, and I am afraid that even Du Pingfei never thought that it would be such a situation. If he could really capture that pair of sisters and brothers alive, with Du Pingfei's means, he would have eliminated the other party a long time ago, how could he discuss cause and effect with him here?

There are all kinds of signs that it is not as easy as imagined to hold those people.

This is also the dilemma encountered by Du Pingfei.

But she has been immersed in the palace for many years, and she has long been accustomed to being indistinguishable from joy and anger, and when she heard such a rhetorical question at this moment, she did not pursue his rudeness, and as soon as her voice changed, she asked: "Don't talk about this." This palace remembers that you also have a lot of talented people under you, so you must also know the whereabouts of tomorrow Xiang and others, right? ”

"That's nature." Du Chengyuan's eyebrows revealed a touch of arrogance, "Wei Chen learned that the group of people in the Northern Darkness is rushing to the northern border, if Niangniang wants to stumble on their footsteps without much effort, she can use the power of Commander Xie." ”

Du Pingfei was noncommittal.

She hasn't forgotten that Dou Changke is still facing a big problem.

Not long ago, the Imperial Court sent back his urgent report, claiming that the war on the northern border had changed, and earnestly asking the Imperial Court to send reinforcements. Because it is through the secret letter channel of the imperial court, not many people in the court know about it. And although she lives in the deep palace, she relies on Xiao Yao, who has a very strong ability, and naturally learned the content of the secret letter.

Since Dou Changke can become a fierce general under Xie Fenghua, he must also have his ability, and he knows more clearly the truth that emergency reports are not in vain. Now that such news is suddenly presented, I am afraid that the war situation is really not optimistic.

Although she was also curious about why there was no news of Xie Fenghua, with the current situation, Dou Changke was already too busy to take care of himself, so Du Chengyuan's proposal to capture the Ming Xiang sisters and brothers was naturally not feasible.

She told the news, and in Du Chengyuan's surprised eyes, she continued: "I'll leave this matter to you." Regardless of whether he can be captured alive or not in the end, he is bound to make a momentum. ”

Hearing this, Du Chengyuan was quite puzzled.

But Du Pingfei didn't want to explain too much.

The reason why it is necessary to make a momentum is simply to confirm some conjectures. These days, Concubine Tang Xian is staying in the Heart Cultivation Palace, just like she has changed her evil and returned to the right, and it is difficult for even her to see her.

She faintly felt uneasy, but the other party's behavior was too leaky, and she couldn't see any clues for a while.

But this doesn't mean that she can't do anything about Concubine Tang Xian.

If the enemy does not move, he forces them to move.

She wants to see who can have the last laugh in this battle.

"Niangniang, now that Commander Dou is asking for reinforcements, who do you think will arrange this matter inside and outside the court?" Du Chengyuan went through it in his mind, and said with some uncertainty, "When it comes to military affairs, there are very few people who can use it." The most suitable candidate should be Dingyuanhou. But this year, the snow disaster in the northwest is serious, and he has left Tianjing for this reason. Other generals ......"

"Why think about it so much? Isn't there a ready-made candidate? Du Pingfei had obviously thought about the relationship, and there was a playful smile on the corner of his mouth.

Du Chengyuan looked at her suspiciously, "Please forgive Weichen for being stupid." I don't know which adult the mother is talking about? ”

"King Beiheng!" Du Pingfei said word by word, "This matter can only be handled by King Beiheng, and it can only be handled by him." Do you understand what Hongu means? ”

Du Chengyuan's whole body was shocked, as if he didn't know her, his eyes were full of strangeness and fear.

At this moment, he only felt that it was difficult to breathe, and he unconsciously stepped back. After a long time, he found his voice and said in disbelief: "Niangniang, do you know what you are talking about? ”

Du Pingfei squinted at him, his eyes were like swords, "What?" Do things in this palace, do you still need to point fingers? ”

Du Chengyuan immediately confessed, "Wechen doesn't dare, but that involves a major incident of military aircraft......"

"If it weren't for the military plane, you thought the palace would leave this opportunity to him?" Du Pingfei smiled contemptuously, thinking of this plan, his whole face became vivid, but the next words made people even more frightened, "You say, if the King of Beiheng made a stupid mistake in the military aircraft incident, who in this Manchu Dynasty can protect him?" ”

Du Chengyuan shook his head busily, looking at her was like looking at a madman.

He didn't know if anyone could save it, only that if this matter was known, the hat of "sinner through the ages" would not escape.

Xu saw his retreat, and Du Pingfei said with a threat: "Du Chengyuan, don't you like to play very much?" Now, Hongu is giving you the opportunity to play a big one! ”

"Niangniang......" Du Chengyuan smiled bitterly, and was about to refuse, but he heard her continue, "That's it, you have been in the court for a while, and you must have secretly made friends with a lot of people, right?" It's also time to get started. ”

Du Chengyuan persuaded him several times, but Du Pingfei was determined to ask King Beiheng to get involved, and he could only obey orders.

So, after some heated discussions, the person in charge of reinforcements was decided.

That person is the King of Beiheng!

Sun Mingyuan felt uneasy, and hurriedly wrote to inform Yuan Minzhou, who was far away in the northwest.

And when Yuan Minzhou learned the news, if it wasn't for Changying's desperate hug, he would almost ride his horse back.
