Hearing this, Mengniang and Shang Yunqian glanced at each other, their eyebrows furrowed, "What's the matter?" ”

"Except for Yunguo, Liguo, Aoba and Bianliang, the remaining nine countries have spontaneously formed an alliance, and now, they are marching into Huaxia ......on a large scale."

"What did you say?"

Before Lin Long could reply, he saw that Xiao Tong was also holding a carrier pigeon in his hand, and at this moment, he was running towards her in a hurry.

At a glance, Shang Yunqian already recognized that it was Tsing Yiwei's exclusive carrier pigeon!

Shang Yunqian rushed over with a single arrow step, and directly opened the paper, the content was only a few words, it seemed that Qin Muhan should have written it in a hurry.

He said that the Huaxia border was in an emergency, and he had to rush back to the palace, and he could not come to see her and the child for the time being.

He said that his body has fully recovered, so there is no need to worry about it, so Shang Yunqian should also take care of himself and his children, and there is no need to worry about him.

He also said, "Shallow, I miss you, and our children." ”

"What's the matter, kid, what did Mu Han say?"

Shang Yunqian put the letter away carefully, "Qin Muhan has returned to the palace, and the news that Lin Long got back is true." ”

"That ......"

"Lin Long, Xiaotong, you have personally gone to Jinxiufang to keep an eye on it in the past few days, and I want to know the most accurate news about the border pass."

"Yes."

Huaxia Palace.

The crowd was shocked by this sudden event.

Nine countries attacked China at the same time, which was something that had never happened before.

Not only Baixin panicked, but even the civil and military officials panicked instantly.

In a peaceful and prosperous world, it is easy for people to be lazy.

The Chinese army is strong, with a total of more than one million people.

But over the years, the comfortable environment has made them all lazy.

If we compare it with those countries that have long been plotting against the wrong and secretly training their troops, even if they have a large population, they are afraid that it will take a long time......

"Your Majesty, the other party is coming violently, and in only half a day, three cities have fallen on the northern border of our country."

At this moment, in the center of the main hall, everyone looked nervous, and when they heard the general's reply, the air pressure in the entire hall dropped by a few degrees.

In only half a day, there are three cities......

This is the news that has been sent back urgently for 800 miles, and now more than half a month has passed, and I am afraid that there are already countless cities that have fallen now.

There are many people in China, and there are more than 700 large and small cities.

But Rao is like this, at this rate, within half a year, Huaxia will ......

The consequences were too terrible for everyone to think about.

Beigong Xu, who was seated, had a gloomy face.

Hands clasped together.

Liu Xi and Mei Guifei did not come back at the specified time, and it seemed that they were already unlucky.

Bad things, one after another.

Before the matter on this side was clarified, I received news of the outbreak of fighting at the border pass.

This hasn't calmed down yet.

I heard the news of the Nine-Nation Alliance again.

He had already sent people to the emperors of these countries as quickly as possible to ask for an alliance.

Sadly, they are also on the sidelines.

That is, it will not help Huaxia, and it will not be allied with other countries.

If other countries win, they don't want to get a piece of the pie......

As soon as he thought of this, Beigong Xu was extremely angry in his heart.

"Bang." There was a loud sound from above.

The emperor's anger is not something that ordinary people can bear.

The ministers hurriedly lowered their heads, not daring to say anything more.

"What about General Zhenbei? What's going on? ”

"The general still led his soldiers to resist desperately, but the other side was numerous, and they could only retreat again and again......"

"Who's going to help?"

Before the emperor's words fell, another collection of newspapers came from outside.

"Report, two cities on the northwest border have fallen, ask for support."

Beigong Xu pursed his lips with both hands, and the whole person stood up from the throne.

"What did you say?"

"The two cities in the northwest have fallen, please, ask for support ......"

"Report, a large number of intruders have been found in the southwest region and are approaching the southwest border of our country......"

It was just a moment later, and the successive battle reports kept ringing.

Beigong Xu's eyes flashed with a ghostly light.

Looking at the ministers who were panicked, they were slightly angry, but they could only force themselves to calm down as soon as possible.

"Silence."

The eunuch beside him screamed with great vision, and the originally bustling hall instantly became quiet.

Beigong Xu sat down again, not angry.

The aura of the superior is natural, and he looks unhurried, as if the person who smashed things out of control before was not him at all.

"What's the panic?"

"......" The ministers lowered their heads and did not dare to answer at all.

"What if they have a nine-nation alliance? It's just some small people who scare you Chinese ministers like this? ”

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Beigong Xu's eyes swept coldly and asked the soldier who was kneeling in the middle and waiting for a reply.

"Have you ever found out, how many people are on the other side?"

Suddenly named, Xiao Bing was sincerely afraid, "According to preliminary estimates, the total number of the other party should be around three million." ”

Million...... And it's still a preliminary estimate, that is, maybe more than that.

If it weren't for the fact that these are relatively small countries, the number would have multiplied several times.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the second big country left the country, and the third big country, Yun Guo, did not make a move.

Otherwise......

China is in danger.

Rao is like this, one million against three million, Huaxia wants to win, but it is also a fool's dream.

Unless, sending a very deterrent and capable general may be able to turn things around.

"Who's going to help?"

Beigong Xu's gaze swept from the main hall, and soon, several generals stepped forward.

Not all of them are bad.

Defending the country is what everyone should do.

Of course, among the people who stepped forward, not everyone had the world in mind, and there were a few who were for military power.

However, it doesn't matter why they want to come forward.

Beigong Xu was quite satisfied when he saw the generals standing in the main hall.

Soon, one after another, orders were issued.

"Those who receive the order will take the lead to go through the relevant procedures, order troops as soon as possible, and set off on time tomorrow to rush to the border to support."

"Yes."

More than a dozen voices were sonorous and powerful.

The generals retreated quickly, and watching them go out, the ministers seemed to be relieved.

One by one, they stepped forward to comfort.

"Your Majesty, all the generals will definitely be able to win and protect my Chinese territory."

Who doesn't know how to say nice words, one person speaks, and the others follow one after another, and the sycophants are more powerful than the other.

If it was usual, Beigong Xu would definitely listen to it for a while.

But today......

He was really not in that mood.

gave the eunuch on one side a look, and the newly appointed eunuch immediately shouted, "Retreat." ”

Beigong Xu returned to the imperial study, and there were no outsiders, and the worry in his heart became bigger and bigger.

Quickly let someone go and notify a few confidant ministers to come over.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he began to order, "You should quickly go to the countries that have not yet agreed to the alliance, and inform them of the stakes." ”

"Your Majesty, they have made it very clear that they will never interfere."

Beigong Xu's face was gloomy, "Then you tell them that if our Huaxia is finished, those alliances will never give up, and they will be the next to suffer."

Beigong Xu really couldn't figure out what went wrong.

Among the thirteen countries, they used to contain each other, but they have always respected China.

This time, those small countries will unite to deal with Huaxia.

Now, even Liguo and Yunguo are standing by and watching.

"Hmph."

Beigong Xu slapped on the chair, looking angry, as if he could kill someone.

"The emperor is angry."

"I don't know how to lift."

The eunuch only thought slightly, and he already understood the meaning of his words, "The emperor must not spoil his body for the sake of those irrelevant people." ”

Beigong Xu took the tea he handed him and took a sip.

"I didn't expect them to be so ignorant."

"The slave heard that the emperor of Yun Country is a little-known little prince, and the reason why he became the emperor is entirely because the former emperor of Yun Country has a thin heir, the prince rebelled, and the old emperor also died young because of his poor health, and he was the only one left in the entire royal family, so he picked up the bargain."

When Beigong heard this, his expression paused slightly, "Are you sure?" ”

"The slave also heard that the prince had been unfavored before, and before he became the emperor, he had been locked up in the cold palace by the old emperor for more than ten years......"

Beigong put down the teacup with a bang, "Yunguo was really defeated, and he actually let a person who didn't understand anything be the emperor." ”

"Not really."

"What about leaving the country?"

"Not long after leaving the country, the dynasty was changed, and the emperor also sent Lord Qincha to congratulate you."

"There's such a thing."

"Compared with Yunguo, the emperor before leaving the country only had one prince, Yue Chang'an, and it is rumored that this Yue Chang'an is quick-witted, kind, and a good Ming monarch......"

Before he finished speaking, Beigong Xu sneered lightly, "Those who achieve great things must be ruthless, kind, and indecisive, what can be done?" ”

The little eunuch stood on the side, smiling, not daring to answer.

Beigong Xu was silent for a long time, and the dark light in his eyes kept flickering.

"Let someone invite Lord Shangshu into the palace, I have something to tell him to do."

Shangshu Mansion.

Situ Ao has been panicking lately.

In fact, since he saw Qin Muhan in Huaxia and knew that he was the Seventh Prince of Huaxia, he had been very uneasy in his heart.

Fortunately, Qin Muhan didn't mention the previous incident, and they were fine.

But once upon a time, it was a time bomb.

It seems like it will explode at any moment.

Qin Muhan is the seventh prince, and now that he is in the limelight, if he wants to deal with himself, it is easy.

Fortunately, Situ Xue likes Qin Muhan, and Qin Muhan doesn't seem to reject it.

After knowing this, Situ Ao instantly thought of a way.

If so, Situ Xue can marry Qin Muhan......

Then, what he feared would not have happened.

After several admonitions, the emperor finally issued an order to let Situ Xue marry Qin Muhan as a concubine.

The worry in his heart was much less.

Now, he and the emperor are in-laws.

Qin Muhan has also become his son-in-law, and what he is worried about should not happen.

He was overjoyed, but he didn't wait for them to return three days later.

Just wait until his daughter's wedding day is snubbed and the news that the seventh prince is seriously ill.

Then, let alone return to the door in three days.

Now that a few months have passed, Qin Muhan and Situ Xue have never appeared.

Situ Xue has sent word messages several times, saying that Qin Muhan is generally not in good health, and as a concubine, she wants to serve her husband.

There is nothing wrong with that.

But years of experience and his understanding of Qin Muhan back then told him that things should not be so simple.

For this reason, he sent many people to the Seven Princes to inquire about the news.

Every time it was in vain.

The guards of the Seven Princes' Mansion were shrewd and sharp, but whenever anyone approached, they would quickly spot it.

Several times the masters he sent were almost exposed.

Helplessly, this matter can only be put on hold for the time being.

And his heart, from that time on, has never been settled.

In recent days, the feeling of uneasiness has become more and more obvious.

At this moment, he was standing in the study, Ben still had a lot of things to deal with.

But I can't put my mind on it at all.

He always felt as if something was going to happen today.

His idea was soon confirmed.

"My lord, someone has come to the palace."

Situ Ao's expression was stunned, thinking of what happened in the hall during the day today, he had some vague guesses.

Could the emperor be thinking about it......

The thought that it might be that might make his face look very ugly.

It was already late when I arrived at the palace.

Beigong Xu did not sleep.

The study was brightly lit, as if it was waiting for him to arrive.

After the eunuch reported, he followed in.

Looking at the emperor who was still dealing with the twists, Situ Ao didn't dare to open his mouth to disturb, and waited quietly on the side.

This was the third time he had such close contact with Beigong Xu.

The first time was when he made his first goodwill visit to China.

The second time was after his whereabouts were revealed and he fled from the cloud kingdom in a hurry.

The first time they met, this man changed his mind and life, and even made him a home here.

The second time they met, this man completely changed his fate, making him from the prime minister of another country to the secretary of the first country in China.

This time......

Situ Ao's body bowed slightly, perhaps because he had bent over for too long, and his whole body trembled slightly.

The night is getting deeper and deeper.

The nights in winter are very cold.

He came in a hurry, he wore little, and by this time, he was already frozen.

He is old, and even if he persists, he finally reaches the limit.

The brain was drowsy, and the person in front of him gradually became a ghost. Beigong Xu's figure has changed from one, to two, three, four......

Soon, he couldn't control his whole body and smashed forward.

Fortunately, the little eunuch was quick and grabbed him, so he didn't fall.

Beigong Xu seemed to react at this time and remembered that there were still people in the imperial study, and his expression changed slightly, "Why is Aiqing here?" ”

Situ Ao: "......"

Didn't you call it?

Seeing this, Beigong Xu patted his head, "Look at me, I'm dizzy." I remembered that I asked Aiqing to come in, when did Aiqing arrive? ”

Situ Ao: "......"

He said hello when he arrived, so for half a day, the emperor only treated him as air?

"Aiqing looks very bad, come and pass on the imperial doctor."

It took a long time to get to the point, and Situ Ao wanted to die.

"Older people should take good care of their bodies, how can Aiqing wear such a little to enter the palace?"

Situ Ao: "......"

Didn't the person who went to summon him say that Beigong Xu had 100,000 urgent things to find him and let him enter the palace quickly?

"Fortunately, Fang Cai didn't smash it, otherwise if this matter spreads, Lao Shangshu fell down due to overwork in my imperial study, I'm afraid that the people will have opinions on me."

Obviously he cared, but when he said it from Beigong Xu's mouth, Situ Ao only felt that it was full of threats.

After resting for a while, the corpse Ao Ye finally took a breath and got up quickly, "It's Wei Chen who went out in a hurry and forgot to prepare, how can this kind of thing be blamed on the emperor." ”

"Aiqing, don't be so excited, I don't mean to blame you, sit down."

So, Situ Ao could only sit back obediently.

"Aiqing has been in Huaxia for so long, and I haven't been able to have a good chat with you, but now, you are used to it."

It was just a simple sentence, but Situ Ao almost fell off the stool.

He staggered to his feet, got up, and knelt down before the emperor.

"Habit, habit, this is my home, where would I not get used to it?"

"I just casually asked, why is Aiqing so excited? 、”

Situ Ao: What is this like a casual question?

Sure enough, being a spy is not good, and even if the task has been completed, there is still a gap in the emperor's heart.

If you're not careful, you'll die.

Seeing that Situ Ao's face was wrong, Beigong Xu also had a cold face.

"Could it be that I'm right?"

The cold voice was not mixed with any emotion, Situ Ao was shocked, immediately came back to his senses, stood up abruptly and knelt down again, "Emperor Mingjian, Weichen is loyal to Huaxia, since the day he met the emperor, he has already regarded Huaxia as his own home, and he has no two hearts. ”

Beigong smiled suddenly, "I just said casually, Aiqing doesn't have to be so afraid." ”

Situ Ao: "......"

"Aiqing is not in good health, the ground is cold, get up quickly."

Situ Ao turned a deaf ear, "Weichen, Weichen should still kneel." ”

He is an old bone, and he gets up and kneels down a few times like this, which is much more than kneeling and tossing all the time.

"So Aiqing likes this?" Beigong Xu raised his eyebrows slightly, and without waiting for Situ Ao to reply, he said to himself, "That's it, since you like it, just kneel." ”

Situ Ao's heart is complicated.

I scolded in my heart for a while, but I didn't dare to get up.

Beigong Xu didn't speak, and Situ Ao didn't dare to speak.

Until......

"Your Majesty, the imperial doctor has arrived."

"Bring it in."

"Quickly show Master Situ what's wrong."

The imperial doctor stepped forward respectfully, and after carefully examining Situ Ao, he said, "Your Majesty, it's rheumatism." ”

Beigong frowned, thinking that this old thing guessed his intention to deliberately pretend to be sick, but he didn't expect that he was really sick.

So......

"Sit down."

Situ Ao only knelt for a while before his whole body was numb, and his feet were completely weak, painful and itchy.

At this moment, seeing that Beigong Xu sat down again, he didn't dare to argue, so he let the eunuch help him sit down.

"The emperor doesn't have to worry, it's just some old problems, just take a rest."

"Aiqing is an important minister in my court, and I have spent a lot of effort for me over the years, and I should care about you." As he spoke, the emperor turned his head to look at the imperial doctor again, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"What the hell is going on?"

"Lord Situ is old, and with some old problems left over from his body in the early years, he will suffer from rheumatism in winter."

"It could be cured."

"It can only be alleviated, not cured."

"Then, what is the solution, I see, Aiqing is dying of pain."

“……”

"Pain relief as soon as possible."

"Yes."

Seeing that the emperor actually wanted him to heal in the imperial study, Situ Ao was very frightened.

"Your Majesty, this can't be helped, there is medicine in the old minister's house, and when he goes back, it will not be too late for the old minister to take medicine again."

"You and I are not separated from each other."

Seeing this, Situ Ao didn't dare to say anything else, so he could only watch as the imperial doctor rolled up his trouser leg and applied medicine in the imperial study.

The process of applying the medicine was a little long, and Beigong Xu sat back down to deal with the things in hand.

Outside, only the imperial doctor and Situ Ao were left.

The imperial doctor's technique was really excellent, and not long after the painkiller was used, the biting pain gradually disappeared.

Situ Ao had completely forgotten that this was the palace, and after feeling no pain, he directly stood up and walked two steps.

There was still satisfaction on his face.

"You prepare a new copy of this medicine for me, and the official will take it back and use it."

As soon as the words fell, something suddenly sounded, and his face changed suddenly.

However, before she could speak, Beigong Xu's voice had already come from the imperial study.

"Aiqing's envoy evokes me, but it's very handy."

As he spoke, Beigong Xu had already walked out slowly, with a look of neither joy nor sadness.

But it's getting more and more unsettling.

"Your Majesty, the old minister ......"

"It's just an imperial doctor, Aiqing will call it, it's not a big deal."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, ......"

"How does Aiqing feel about her body?"

"But is there anything else uncomfortable?"

"If there is, you might as well say it together and let the imperial doctor check it for you."

"In this way, I can rest assured."

Where did Situ Ao dare to say anything, and immediately opened his mouth to refuse.

"Wechen is fine, and there is no other discomfort."

"Really?"

"It's true!"

"Since Lord Situ is in good health, I do have some things to arrange for Lord Situ."

Situ Xuan's whole body shook slightly.

Only then did he realize that unconsciously, he had already fallen into the cage woven by Beigong Xu.

scolded himself half to death in his heart, but there was no dissatisfaction on his face.

"The minister will do his best, and then die."

"It's not a big deal, Aiqing doesn't have to be so righteous and awe-inspiring."

"No matter what the emperor says, the minister should be like this."

"Haha." Beigong Xu was very satisfied with his reaction, "Then it's hard to love Qing." ”

"It is the honor of the minister to be able to do things for the emperor, and it is not hard."

As soon as the conversation changed, Beigong Xu finally said the purpose.

"You must have heard everything in the hall today?"

"Yes."

"Right now, the other nine countries are attacking our Huaxia together, and the number of troops is three times that of our Huaxia, if we don't take measures, we will definitely lose ugly."

"What does the emperor mean?"

"I remember that you told me that the current emperor of Yunguo was just a little doll, and he was kind to you back then, and even almost became your son-in-law?"

Cold sweat broke out on Situ Ao's forehead.

These words were said in order to please Beigong Xu back then, whether they were true or false, only he knew whether they were true or false.

How can a man who can endure for more than ten years really be a straw bag.

It's just now......

He must not let Beigong Xu find out that he is lying.

I could only bite the bullet and say, "Yes." ”

"The envoy I sent over before ran into a wall at this little doll, and he didn't want to send troops to help, since he has something to do with Aiqing, it shouldn't be difficult to hand over this matter to Aiqing?"
