Wu Dalin and Qi Feng didn't know why, Qi Feng asked cautiously, "Master Hou, what's wrong?" ”

Qi Ning handed the letterhead to Qi Feng, Qi Feng also glanced at it, changed color in shock, and said in a lost voice: "This ..... It's true? Hou Ye, Northern Han Dynasty..... The Emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty died? ”

Wu Dalin couldn't help but take the letterhead from Qi Feng's hand, glanced at it, frowned, and said, "Beitang Huan is dead?" Master Hou, this ......! ”

Qi Ning took two steps back, sat on the chair, and said with a solemn expression: "There is no payment on it, Team Leader Wu, you go and see if you can find the Dongqi official who delivered the letter, this person secretly sent us a message, and it is definitely not human." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Wu Dalin handed the letterhead back to Qi Feng and led the order to go out, Qi Feng approached, and said with a solemn expression: "Master Hou, is what this said true or false?" Beitang Huan died, Luoyang was in chaos, there was a mutiny, and the matter had just happened, why did someone send us news in time, and how did he know so quickly. ”

Qi Ning leaned back in his chair and said, "There will be no fake, I have always wondered why many things have been so strange in the past two days, it turns out that the crux of the problem is here." ”

"I see." Qi Feng suddenly realized: "Beitang Yu and Beitang Feng fled suddenly, not because they were afraid of being implicated in the assassination incident, but because they got the news that there was a change in the Northern Han Dynasty. ”

Qi Ning nodded and said: "Yes, I've been wondering, this time I courted, the Northern Han Dynasty has a big advantage, and with some strength, Princess Tianxiang will definitely go to the Han Kingdom, such a good situation, Beitang Yu suddenly disappeared with the Beitang wind, it is really incredible." He sneered and said, "There was a fire in the backyard, of course Beitangyu didn't have the heart to stay and talk about this." ”

Qi Feng said in a low voice: "Master Hou, in this way, they fled from Eastern Qi and rushed back to the Northern Han?" ”

Qi Ning groaned slightly, and then said: "The letterhead said that there was a mutiny in Luoyang, and the matter was definitely not as simple as Beitang Huan's death. "I thought in my heart that when Longtai sent an envoy to Eastern Qi, the emperor of Chu was also in danger, and now the situation of Beitangfeng is quite similar to Longtai's beginning, but it is very different.

Although Longtai was not in Chu at that time, he was the crown prince of Chu, and the whole world knew about it, so as long as Longtai rushed back to Chu, he was the legitimate heir, and Longtai only had one brother, and no other brothers fought with him, but Beitangfeng's situation was obviously much more severe than Longtai's at that time.

Beitang Huan set up two princes in a row in the early years, but they all died, he was obviously taboo about this, so he has never set up a prince since then, although he intends to let Beitang Feng inherit the throne, but Beitang Feng does not have the title of prince after all, so Beitang Huan died suddenly, and Beitang Feng may not be able to sit on the throne as he wishes.

Qi Feng said softly: "Master Hou, the Northern Han Mutiny is naturally not simple, and after Beitang Feng goes back, it is not certain whether he can inherit the throne." ”

Qi Ning smiled indifferently and said: "Not necessarily, he still has several brothers, who are close to the water, and now they are all in the country, how can these people miss this opportunity, it is not bad that Beitang Feng can survive this time." ”

But seeing that Wu Dalin came back soon, he said: "Master Hou, I have already inquired, after the Dongqi official handed over the letter to the soldiers, he will leave immediately, unless all the Dongqi people in the post house are gathered now, one can identify, or can be found, but it is so aggressive, I am afraid that it will .......!" ”

Qi Ning smiled: "Actually, I didn't think I could really find it." If that man really wanted us to know, he could never have given the letter to a soldier, who didn't want anyone to know who he was. A little puzzled: "If I guessed correctly, the monarch of Eastern Qi must have known the news, but he deliberately concealed it and did not tell me, why did a small official of Eastern Qi want to pass the news to us?" ”

Qi Feng said: "It's strange that the man secretly communicated with us, but he didn't want to get a reward from us. ”

Suddenly, Qi Ning clapped his hands and said, "I understand." ”

Wu Dalin and Qi Feng were stunned, and Qi Ning smiled: "Don't forget, in this Eastern Qi territory, not only our Chu State delegation is from the Chu State. We're here, so we can count on having a helper. ”

Qi Feng was reminded by Qi Ning like this, and instantly understood, and said, "Yes...... Shenhou Mansion! ”

Qi Ning raised his hand to signal Qi Feng to speak quietly, and chuckled: "As far as I know, among the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper in the Shenhou Mansion, there is a school captain who is lurking in Eastern Qi, and there is naturally a group of people under him. Beitang Huan died suddenly, and it was impossible for Beihan to leak this news to the outside world easily,"

Wu Dalin also nodded slightly: "What Hou Ye said is extremely true, the Northern Han Dynasty doesn't want people's hearts to be in turmoil, so naturally they want to hide the news of death, and now Luoyang is in chaos, and it is impossible for ordinary people to know what is going on, unless it is ...... The Shenhou Mansion planted in the eyes of the Northern Han Dynasty knew the news, and immediately flew the pigeon to pass the book to the Eastern Qi side, and the people of the Shenhou Mansion in the Eastern Qi side knew the news, so they immediately notified the Hou Ye, but they were lurking in the Eastern Qi Dynasty, and it was not easy to expose their whereabouts, so it was like this. ”

Qi Ning knew that Wu Dalin's analysis was close to the truth, and thought that the Shenhou Mansion was very cooperative in doing things this time, and thought that after all, he was in Eastern Qi, and the people of the Shenhou Mansion naturally knew that they were seeking benefits for the Chu State, and if they informed themselves of this news in time, they could also make themselves advance and retreat freely.

"Qi Feng, you prepare, set off overnight, take a few people to dress up together, and rush back to Chu State immediately." Qi Ning got up and said, "There is paper and pen here, I want to write an excerpt." ”

Wu Dalin immediately went to find a pen and paper, and Qi Feng followed Qi Ningshen and asked, "Master Hou, are you asking me to send the excerpt back to Beijing?" ”

Qi Ning bowed his head and said: "The Northern Han Dynasty has changed greatly, and it is impossible for the Eastern Qi people to send Princess Tianxiang to the Northern Han Dynasty anymore, they can only marry our Chu State, and there will be no change in this matter." In three days, we will be on our way, so you must hurry up as fast as you can, and report the matter here to the emperor as quickly as possible. ”

He walked to the round table in the middle of the room and sat down, knocking on the table with one finger, such a big thing came too suddenly, Qi Ning knew that the sudden death of Beitang Huan would inevitably lead to drastic changes in the situation in the world, at this time, whether it was Chu State or Eastern Qi, it was impossible to sit safely, and they would definitely take action.

The monarch of Eastern Qi set up a banquet and invited himself into the palace, not only offered to let Princess Tianxiang go to Chu as soon as possible, but also bluntly asked Qi Ning to persuade Longtai to send troops.

The monarch of the Eastern Qi Kingdom naturally got the news first, and the Chu State arranged the people of the Shenhou Mansion in Luoyang, and the Qi State was of course no exception.

The drastic changes in the Northern Han Dynasty and the internal chaos are naturally a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and of course the Eastern Qi wants to take advantage of this time to bite the Northern Han Dynasty, at least to take Maling Mountain as its own.

But Dongqi obviously still has some lack of confidence, so he wants to pull the Chu State together, and the two lines of soldiers and horses come out together.

Even if the Northern Han can free up its hands in the chaos, in the face of the Qi and Chu coalition forces, the first thing to deal with must be the Chu State rather than the Qi State, once the war starts, it will only be the Chu State that will bear the heavy forces of the Han Army, and the pressure on the Qi State will naturally not be too great.

Maling Mountain is a strategic place that the Eastern Qi has been watching for a long time, and it is impossible to ask for, if the Northern Han Dynasty is peaceful, although the Eastern Qi has the heart to take the Maling Mountain, but it does not have the courage, this time it is not easy to find an opportunity, naturally will not miss it.

Qi Ning sneered in his heart, knowing that the intention of Eastern Qi was nothing more than to use the State of Chu as a cover to swallow some strategic places as much as possible, Maling Mountain was only the lowest target, if possible, as the prince said, but also to carve up more land in the Northern Han with the State of Chu as much as possible.

If everything is according to the assumption of the Eastern Qi people, they occupy Maling Mountain and hold the strategic point of the Northern Han to enter the Qi State, then the pressure on military defense will be greatly reduced, and the main confrontation after the war can only be Han and Chu, no matter what the final result of this battle is Chu and Han, it can only cause further weakening of the strength of the two countries.

Qinhuai War for several years, Qi Ning himself saw the displacement of the people on both sides of the Huai River, Chu because of the Qinhuai Campaign, the treasury is also quite weak, the situation on the Northern Han side will naturally not be much better, if there is another war, a quick battle is not enough, once it evolves into a protracted war, then Chu and Han will be further weakened, while Eastern Qi will expand its power and enhance its national strength because of this war.

Qi Ning saw through the minds of the Eastern Qi people, but he knew in his heart that the Chu State and the Han State had always wanted to annex each other and dominate the world.

He thought for a while, Wu Dalin had already taken the pen and paper, and Qi Ning was about to pick up the pen to write, when he suddenly thought that this was the first time he had written an excerpt, he knew simplified Chinese characters, and he was really not familiar with the ancient characters that are popular today, so he coughed and asked, "Can you two write?" ”

Wu Dalin and Qi Feng were a little embarrassed, both of them were born in martial arts, although they knew a few words, but if they really wanted to write something, they couldn't do it, Qi Ning shook his head, he could only take it, took the pen and wrote the fold, sealed it and handed it to Qi Feng, and said: "It's already late at night, but you still have to work hard, get out of the city immediately." ”

Qi Feng said: "Master Hou, the city gate is closed at this time. ”

"It's okay, you just say that it is an envoy of the Chu State, and you have to send it back in a hurry." Qi Ning said: "The people of Eastern Qi wish we could inform the emperor that the marriage has been completed as soon as possible, and they will not stop it." You'll ....... when you go back! Wei Yi groaned, knowing that Qi Feng's identity was too low to enter the palace, he thought for a while and said: "After I go back, go directly to the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites, and hand over the music to Yuan Laoshangshu, and Yuan Laoshangshu will present it to the emperor." ”

Qi Feng put the letter in his arms and put it away, and said, "My subordinates understand, Master Hou, my subordinates are leaving, you have to take care of yourself." ”

Qi Ning patted Qi Feng on the shoulder and said with a smile: "It's hard work, I'll reward you when I go back." ”

Qi Feng saluted, knowing that the matter was very important, and he did not delay, turned around and left, and waited for Qi Feng to leave, Qi Ning said: "After the emperor knows that the princess is going to pass, he will naturally handle it immediately with the Ministry of Rites." When we go back this time, we don't have to be too anxious in the territory of Dongqi to make some time over there. When I go to the territory of my Chu State, the imperial court will definitely arrange the route and send people to greet me. ”

Wu Dalin arched his hand and said, "Everything is in accordance with the orders of Master Hou." ”
