Chapter 335: The Contest of the Parties
Although the Qiang Kingdom, which had lost Mumo's seat, did not show any abnormality, Feng Ling, who had been hiding herself in the deep palace, still noticed a trace of abnormality. It's like an alert antelope feeling an ambush from a predator on the grassland.
Ever since she learned that Feng Qian had given up Yunyan and returned from Linbo Kingdom, Feng Ling let go of her hanging heart. Although Mu Mo had doubts about Feng Ling at first, because of the situation in the Qiang Kingdom, he temporarily took his mind away from investigating Feng Ling Tower. Now that Mu Mo has left the Qiang Kingdom, this is Feng Ling's best chance to get out.
Xiao'er found Feng Ling, who had exposed herself to the enemy's nose, and persuaded Feng Ling to leave the palace of the Qiang State as soon as possible, but Feng Ling refused.
"If I disappear now for no reason, they will definitely suspect me, don't forget that the whole capital now knows what I look like."
"But master, it's too dangerous for you to do this."
Feng Ling, who was sitting in the dark with her back to the light, smiled softly: "As long as Qian'er is fine, how is it now?" ”
"I have entered the secret room, and according to my master's orders, I am now asleep."
Feng Ling nodded and said, "Okay, you will be responsible for watching Qian'er in the future, if there is nothing recently, you won't have to look for me." ”
"But......" Xiao'er still wanted to work hard, but she still kept her mouth shut when she saw Feng Ling's resolute back.
When Xiao'er left, Feng Ling also sent her a task, which was to spread the news of Mu Mo's departure from the Qiang Kingdom to the Haoyue Kingdom.
With the grievances and grievances between the Haoyue Kingdom and the Qiang Kingdom, she was able to buy enough time to stay in the palace during Mu Mo's absence to figure out the issues she hadn't yet understood.
Sun Yu first heard about the recent situation of the Qiang Kingdom from the mouth of a scrivener one morning, and the scrivener also overheard it from the mouth of a traveling merchant in the Haoyue Kingdom. The traveling merchant happened to have returned from the Qiang Kingdom, and he had recently wanted to find an adult to settle a relationship with him in the Haoyue Kingdom, so he happened to hear about it at the adult's house.
"Your Majesty, now that the Qiang Kingdom is a leaderless group, we can take this opportunity to attack the Qiang Kingdom, and we can attack the Wuzhou that is close to the Haoyue Kingdom. Now that Haoyue Country is catching up with the year of great drought, our Haoyue Country is due to the lack of autumn production due to the great drought, if we continue according to the current situation, I am afraid that nearly thirty percent of the people in the city will starve to death in the spring of the next year. ”
The one who put forward this opinion was a military general, because he had experienced life and death from the battlefield to his current position, so he could understand the suffering of the people very well. The original intention of attacking the Qiang State was also very simple - to seize Wuzhou, which was rich in materials in the Qiang State.
"No, no! Now that the treasury is empty, it is not the time to raise troops to fight, General Meng also said that this year is the year of the great drought of our Haoyue country, if we attack the Qiang country at this time, do you know how much materials will be consumed at that time, and this battle we Haoyue country has no certainty of victory, if the Haoyue country is defeated by then, let alone next year, a large number of people will starve to death this winter! ”
Sun Yu frowned and looked at the two people who were arguing at the moment, and finally couldn't help but interrupt: "Okay, we can't be sure whether this matter is true or not, let's send someone to Qiang State to verify this matter first!" As for this year's severe drought, the local governments and government offices must do a good job of drought prevention and remedial measures, and if there is already a famine among the local people, they should first open warehouses and release grain. The specific measures will be decided after I have discussed with the Prime Minister. ”
For Sun Yu, he couldn't afford to raise an army, not because he had to think about the drought, but because he had to worry about Hu's side. If Hu Guo makes a move at that time, then Haoyue Country will really be in crisis.
"Your Majesty, how are you going to deal with this matter?"
"Let's take a step at a time, isn't there a fight on the side of Linbo yet."
The prime minister saw that Sun Yu didn't have any plans now, so he hesitated to say his thoughts: "Your Majesty, if the current Hu country has the morale to unify the world, and Zhao Mingsheng is the crown prince of the Hu country, if the Haoyue Kingdom wants to face such an enemy in the future, I am afraid that it will be more than lucky." In terms of geographical location, although Hu and Haoyue are far apart, if Hu takes Linbo and then Qiang under the attack of Qiang this time, then Haoyue can only survive in the cracks. ”
The Prime Minister is a person with a long-term vision, and he has long seen the situation that Zhao Mingsheng may cause next time, so in his opinion, whether to fight or not to fight in Haoyue is no longer something he can choose, but something that he has to do.
Faced with such a situation, Sun Yu clenched his fists unwillingly. At the beginning, he knew that Zhao Mingsheng could not be an enemy, because he was too smart, and he was so smart that Sun Yu was afraid.
There was a thud, and a clenched fist slammed into the table. Looking up again, his eyes were already stained with blood. Sun Yu looked at the Prime Minister opposite and said coldly: "This is just an expectation under the normal situation, but don't forget that there is something called accident in this world." ”
Since that experience of being frightened by the elusive man in black in the dormitory, Sun Yu has become a little different. Ping Qing, who has been following Sun Yu, can't say what the difference is, but he can feel that something has indeed changed.
In fact, in addition to providing Sun Yu with the news of Yunyan and Zhao Mingsheng that time, Sun Yu saw the man in black in the dormitory again in the past month. This time, Sun Yu was not as scared as last time. Because the man in black was sitting on the table in the room, and he chatted with Sun Yu for a long time after he woke up. Because after making sure that there was a real person in front of him, not some ghost, Sun Yu was relieved, not good.
"Do you want to be the lord of the world? I can help you! ”
Sun Yu still echoed in that cold voice, he remembered that when the man in black left, he heard her say that she could help him unify the world, so there was no problem in dealing with this crisis, right?
"You go down first, Rong Zhen will think again!"
Feng Ling has been paying attention to the situation in Linbo Country these days when she has been staying in the palace, although now that Yundaoxu has left the Qiang Country and the inquiry about Feng Ling Lou has not continued, Feng Ling always feels that it is not an accident that Yunyan can go to Linbo Country this time.
Because she had to manage the affairs of Feng Ling Tower before, Feng Ling had never been to Linbo Country. If the Linbo Kingdom really hid any other secrets, then Feng Ling couldn't let the Hu Kingdom take the Linbo Kingdom so easily.
"Master, what do you have to tell me to come here?"
Ling Xi respectfully knelt on one knee in front of Feng Ling, Feng Ling turned her head to look at the woman in front of her, and her eyes became a lot softer. She walked up to Ling Xi and lifted her up from the ground.
"You don't have to be polite, you don't have to bow like this when you see me in the future!"
"Thank you, master!"
"The reason why I called you here is because the original plan was definitely changed, did he suspect you when you went to Zhao Mingsheng's side this time?"
"At first, it was, but now he should have dispelled some of his doubts."
Ling Xi 1510 told him what he had done and learned from Zhao Mingsheng's men during this period of time.
Feng Ling couldn't help but laugh after hearing this, "I didn't expect him to be so guarded, so according to the current situation, even if you stay by his side, you won't get much useful information, right?" ”
"That's true, so what is the master going to do?"
"Well, how about changing you to the side of the Cloud Ruins, if he sees you, he will have some other feelings, maybe he will bring you into the Dao Ruins Sect at that time, and then I will be able to wipe them out!"
Ling Xi couldn't help but raise her head when Feng Ling said this, and she suddenly couldn't help but shudder when she saw the fierceness that flashed in Feng Ling's eyes.
"The subordinates feel that it is the most important thing to get hands on the Linbo Kingdom now, because these days, the subordinates have secretly observed that the Linbo Kingdom seems to contain some ulterior secrets."
"Oh? Do you feel the same way? ”
Compared with the gentleness at the beginning, Feng Ling at this time completely revealed the courage of the superior and the invisible pressure on people. Ling Xi couldn't help but lower his head, but this action didn't last long, and his chin was gently lifted by Feng Ling with his fingers.
Being stared at by Feng Ling at close range, Ling Xi was so nervous that she could only clench her fists tightly, she didn't know that she was silent and scared out of beads of sweat.
"Hehe~ Then do as you say, it's just up to you how to snatch the Linbo Kingdom!"
"Yes!"
"Prince~ There seems to be a voice outside the prince, it seems that someone is walking towards this side."
"People? How can there be people in this place, go out and dispose of people, and can't let others know that I have seen His Majesty the Qiang Kingdom. ”
Podos stood by the window of the cabin with a calm face and looked at everything outside, he was now returning from the tent camp of the Qiang country, and the place where he rested at night was a deep mountain in the country of Linbo, according to the dense vegetation here, it was impossible for people to live here, so the people who would still appear here at this time could only be ......
"Ah~ let go of me, let go of me!" There was a helpless cry for help from the woods, and the voice was soft and soft, reaching Podos's ears from the woods not far away.
"The prince is a girl, but she is not a citizen of our country of Linbo."
"Dispose of it!"
"This ......"
The guard hesitated a little, he looked at Bordos with some uncertainty in his eyes and continued: "Prince, why don't you take a look?" ”
If there is anything that allowed the woman outside to escape death, it can only be attributed to her stunning countenance. Because the people of Linbo are much rougher than most of the people outside, they rarely see this kind of little bird and gentle girl. And the guards mainly saw that she was not a threat, so they didn't do it on the spot.
Ling Xi, who was held hostage by the two soldiers, looked at Bordos with tears in his eyes, and just one glance moved the heart of the originally ruthless man.
"What's your name?"
"Nozomi."
