On the side of Kaifeng Mansion, the two sides were planning their own things, and at the same time, the Zhao family compound in Beiping Mansion was already at night at the moment, and most of the masters and subordinates of the Zhao Mansion were also resting, only the backyard study was still lit with faint lights.

The night sky is gloomy as if to drip water, which just sets off the mood of Zhao Ritian, the Duke of Jin at this time, obviously planning a good thing, suddenly came a variable, making Zhao Ritian feel a little gloomy, on the desk in the study, the spiritual lamp continues to emit bright light, the huge study, by the two lamps Zhao Tong, although the Lingke Chamber of Commerce did not go out of Jinling City to sell, but the useful things will naturally be bought by the people in Jinling and sent home for family use.

"Mr. Yuan, what do you think of the things over there in Kaifeng?" Zhao Ritian's fingers tapped rhythmically on the table, and after thinking for a while, he asked Yuan Liqiu beside him.

"Grandpa Guo, I don't think Grandpa Guo needs to worry so much, even if the emperor really has any secret weapon, but it can't make up for the gap in numbers, the second prince has about 1,500 people on his side, which is enough to complete the deployment of Grandpa Guo." Yuan Liqiu said, he is one of Zhao Ritian's staff, and together with Yan Zhongdao, he is Zhao Ritian's right-hand man, and he is very trusted by Zhao Ritian.

"But I always have a bad premonition in my heart, I scrapped so much of the things I got last time, and no one can see the reason for it now, this is a variable." Zhao Ritian said worriedly, the rifle components that he made such a big move in Jinling City last time and paid a great price for no one could understand what it was, only that this was probably Zhou Zhengxiong's so-called secret weapon.

"Grandpa Guo doesn't have to worry, Zhongdao is a stable person, and he will arrange it properly." Yuan Liqiu said.

"Mr. Yan, I'm not worried, I'm worried about Bo Tao, this kid has always been very out of tune." Zhao Ritian said that Zhao Botao smiled gently, even if Zhao Botao was unbearable, it was his precious son.

"Although the second son seems to be unruly, he is actually very wise, and Grandpa Guo doesn't need to worry." Yuan Liqiu praised Zhao Botao without a trace.

"Hehe, I hope so." Hearing others praise his son, he is naturally happy, the eldest son Zhao Bohan didn't say that he was very satisfied, the second son Zhao Botao, there are fewer people who praise him.

The two were chatting when they heard a knock on the door from the guards outside.

Zhao Ritian frowned and said, "What's the matter?" ”

"Grandpa Qiguo, that lord came to visit, saying that it was at the request of Grandpa Guo." The guards respectfully reported.

Only then did Zhao Ritian remember, and made an appointment with the great offering of the Beihu Royal Court to talk about things, and said with a stretched brow: "You go and invite that adult to the study to talk about it." ”

"Yes." The guards obeyed.

"Sir, you can stay and meet this great worshipper." Zhao Ritian smiled faintly, this great worshipper he knew, it was Mu Qingfang, the junior sister of the old guy who was sitting in Shanhaiguan.

Yuan Liqiu also smiled, of course he also knew, Mu Qingfang would go to the Beihu Royal Court to do a big offering, they made a lot of contributions, they planned to encourage Zhou Zhengyun and Zhou Zhengxiong to compete for the throne back then, although it was not successful, but it made Da Zhou lose a ninth-level spirit master, which was not a good thing for Zhao Ritian and others.

Not long after, I saw a woman walk in, her figure was as beautiful as a twenty-nine-year-old girl, her face was covered with a layer of black veil, so she couldn't see her face clearly, but her beautiful eyes were smart, and she could guess that she was pretty, probably because of good maintenance, although the actual age should be not small, but it looked similar to a woman in her thirties.

"Zhao Guogong, why did you call me over?" Mu Qingfang said, her voice was cold, but it was pleasant to the ear.

"Hehe, the big offering has worked hard, during this time, because Ling is enshrined in Shanhaiguan, many things are inconvenient to do, I don't know how you Beihu is prepared?" Zhao Ritian said with a restrained smile, he didn't dare to hold it up for a ninth-level spirit master.

"That's it? Won't you send someone to ask, what is your intention for letting me come all the way here? Mu Qingfang frowned slightly, and said coldly with some displeasure.

"Ah, Mu worship misunderstanding, in addition to this, let me tell you about my plan, a few days ago I have sent someone to Kaifeng, Henan, where it has been raining heavily for several days, and the Yellow River has signs of bursting, I want people to destroy the embankment, when the Yellow River floods, a catastrophe occurs, you can weaken the power of the imperial court, we can also get some benefits from it, at that time, as long as the Beihu side cooperates with several border cities to buckle the border and contain the imperial court's military strength, I can wave my army to the south, capture Yingtianfu, destroy the Zhou family temple and seize the world." Zhao Ritian told his plan.

Mu Qingfang's brows furrowed even deeper, although she intended to use her strength to ruin Zhou Zhengxiong's world, but she was a woman after all, she could be ruthless and unscrupulous for the enemy, but for innocent people, she still had a trace of compassion, but in the current situation, even if she didn't agree to do so, it would be useless.

"Our royal court is still unable to spare our hands here, in addition to those troubles in the west, the tribes within the royal court are also a little ready to move, and now the elite army of the Great Khan is pinned down by more than half of the west, and there is no spare strength to cooperate with Zhao Guogong." Although Mu Qingfang didn't like Zhao Ritian's tricks, but now that the two sides are in a cooperative relationship, she had to explain it simply. E-book house

"So...... Then let's start with the plan we just mentioned, and if necessary, we can give your country some help within our means. "Zhao Ritian said, of course, help is said casually, the battle on the grassland is much more fierce than within the Great Zhou, if the royal court is weak, it will definitely be the competition of other big tribes, so Zhao Ritian does not doubt him, and Beihu will not need his help, people don't think much of him, thinking that he eats things inside and outside.

"That's it, don't call me over again if there is nothing important in the future, just send someone to make it clear." Mu Qingfang coldly dropped a sentence and left.

Seeing Mu Qingfang leaving, Zhao Ritian's face became gloomy again, and he said faintly: "It seems that I can't count on Beihu for the time being, Mr. Yuan, now I can only implement the previous arrangements first, as for the army, it seems that we can't rush for a while, but it is necessary to strengthen drills, the emperor is training, we can't fall behind." ”

Yuan Liqiu also nodded yes, chatted for a while and then dispersed.

On the other side, Mu Qingfang went out of the Zhao Mansion and did not go back directly to the Beihu Royal Court, but transferred to Shanhaiguan, she planned to meet her senior brother Ling Yuefeng, since she went to Beihu, she hadn't seen her for many years, even if Ling Yuefeng had been here for a long time, but Mu Qingfang had been helping Beihu fight against Xiyi, and this time she returned to the royal court, and was invited by Zhao Ritian.

"Come in, come in, haven't seen you for years, it's always good?" Ling Yuefeng was reading a book in his own study, but suddenly felt a familiar atmosphere, so he thought of Mu Qingfang, so he asked her to come in.

"Senior brother's cultivation has improved a lot." Mu Qingfang walked in and said with a smile, she would only smile a little when she saw the only person in the world who was her closest to her, no matter what position Ling Yuefeng and her belonged to, they couldn't change the brother-sister relationship.

"Hey, junior sister, why are you so bothered, you ...... back then" Ling Yuefeng sighed and said, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Mu Qingfang.

"Senior brother, don't mention the events of the year again, Zhou Zhengxiong killed his brother, this is an indisputable fact, Qingfang, as a surviving person, wants to avenge her husband." Mu Qingfang, who was still smiling just now, instantly turned cold, and when she came to talk to her senior brother today, she didn't want to mention the things of the past.

"What happened back then...... Alas, I won't say it, in that case, whatever trick Beihu makes, I'll follow. Ling Yuefeng said helplessly, this section is difficult to solve.

"Senior brother, Beihu may not have any tricks now, but the Zhao family is restless, you still have to be more careful, oh, by the way, especially let your precious apprentice be careful." Mu Qingfang said with a smile.

At the mention of Ling Yu, Ling Yuefeng sighed in his heart, and left for a few months, although he could often receive letters sent by the emperor, and he could also learn some things about Ling Yu, but at this time, when he heard Mu Qingfang mention it, he had a bad premonition in his heart, but now he was helpless, and he couldn't reach it.

"I wonder if my sister can tell me what's going on?" Ling Yuefeng asked quietly.

"Senior brother, it seems that you don't know everything, where did you go back then? But we are enemies now, just now because of our brother and sister love to give you a little hint, don't get an inch. Mu Qingfang smiled, this was the day she had laughed the most in so many years, and after speaking, Ling Yuefeng said goodbye and floated away.

"Senior sister......" Ling Yuefeng wanted to call her back, but seeing that she didn't stop at all, he could only shake his head helplessly, and then ordered his subordinates to rush to Yingtianfu to send a letter to Ling Yu to inquire overnight, but he didn't know that Ling Yu would not be able to receive it, because he was no longer in Jinling City.

Ling Yuefeng's brothers and sisters parted unhappily, Ling Yu had a good night's rest, and after dawn on the second day, Lin Ou sent someone over, saying that he was going to take Ling Yu to inspect the river embankment, and he did a good job of etiquette in all aspects, but Ling Yu didn't know that among these entourages, there were Zhao Botao's spies.

Soon, Ling Yu led two hundred people to set off, and Xingyuan stayed behind to guard fifty sergeants, this time Ling Yu brought almost three hundred people, in addition to the soldiers of the first company, the others were some craftsmen, spirit masters, medical officers and the entourage of the Qin Cha, the craftsmen naturally came here to build the earthen wall rune spirit guide, after all, the preparation time was too short, it was too late to make it in Jinling, so he had to bring it out, this will Ling Yu go out to inspect the river embankment, and the craftsmen made the earth wall rune spirit guide in the camp.

The weather is still cloudy and rainy, although it is not very big, but the road is still relatively muddy and difficult to walk, after a few hours, a group of people came to the Yellow River embankment near Kaifeng, where there are already sergeants of the Kaifeng Mansion garrison troops stationed, Kaifeng Mansion also organized some people to strengthen the embankment, everything looks normal, things are done in accordance with the will of the imperial court, there is no slack at all.

"Governor Lin, what's the situation doing now?" Standing on the river embankment, Ling Yu asked Lin Ou, who was following beside him.

"Lord Qincha, as you can see, the lower officials have sent sergeants to garrison in accordance with His Majesty's will, and have also arranged for the people to strengthen the river embankment, and it is now close to August, and it is estimated that in some time, there will be no problem in surviving this rainy season." Lin Ou replied businessmanlikely, without the slightest nutrition.

Ling Yu glanced at Lin Ou deeply and said: "That's good, this official was ordered to control the river embankment this time, and he brought some appliances over, but it is not ready yet, and now Governor Lin still needs to implement it seriously according to the original appearance, and when the equipment is ready, he will arrange people to help install it." ”

"Okay, the subordinate obeys." Lin Ou respectfully agreed, since he knew that Ling Yu knew the etiquette of the Qin Mission, Lin Ou paid more attention to these and did it well.
