"My lord, do you feel that a storm is coming? Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info" Shi Jian squinted slightly.

Gao Shangzhi nodded, but did not answer.

"This king endured humiliation and stolen his life, and worked hard for so many years in order to wait for this storm!"

"Your Highness, what we are planning is extremely difficult and dangerous, just like walking on a cliff, if you are not careful, you will be crushed to pieces, and you will never recover, so Your Highness must not be careless!"

"Don't worry, my lord, for so many years, you and I have been trembling and walking on thin ice, how can we be careless at the last moment."

"That's it......"

Shi Zhan quickly entered the palace and went straight to the Heart Cultivation Palace, because he knew that at this time, Shi Hu must be in the Heart Cultivation Palace, not in the Hongguang Pavilion.

"Master Hou, Your Majesty doesn't want to see anyone today, please go back."

"I'm sorry for you to report it, I have something important to ask to see."

"Master Hou, the slave doesn't dare to disturb Your Majesty...... Your Majesty just ordered ......"

"When I entered the palace just now, I also met Lord Liu, he can see it, but I can't?"

"The minion didn't mean that......"

"Don't worry, go and report it, if Your Majesty is to blame, just say that I asked for it, and it has nothing to do with you." Shi Zhan said with relief.

Lu An was helpless, so he could only nod and enter the Heart Cultivation Palace.

After a while, Lu An ran out and said to Shi Zhan, "Master Hou, Your Majesty is invited." ”

Shi Zhan smiled slightly, patted Lu An's shoulder, and said, "Thank you!" ”

"Master Hou!" Lu An shouted quietly.

"Huh? What's the matter? Shi Zhan asked suspiciously.

"The villain has a lot of words, Your Majesty is not in a good mood today, Master Hou must pay attention to what he says, don't anger Your Majesty." Lu An reminded.

Shi Zhan nodded, bowed to Lu An, and said politely: "Thank you for the reminder." ”

Lu An hurriedly bent down to return the salute, and watched Shi Zhan enter the Hongguang Pavilion.

Shi Zhan entered the Heart Cultivation Palace, and saw that the doors and windows of the entire Heart Cultivation Hall were covered by curtains, impermeable to light, and candles were lit all around. There are shaman runes on each pillar, which is thought to be used to ward off evil spirits. The air was filled with the smell of sandalwood, and Shi Zhan looked from afar, in the copper furnace in the middle of the Heart Cultivation Palace, sandalwood was lit, probably for the purpose of meditation.

The entire Heart Cultivation Hall was surprisingly quiet, and the atmosphere seemed to be a little weird, Shi Zhan could almost hear his heartbeat, of course, as a battle-hardened soldier, Shi Zhan would not have a trace of timidity, but he felt a little strange in his heart.

Shi Zhan looked around, didn't see Shi Hu, and was about to shout, when Shi Hu's coughing sound came from inside.

"The son of the emperor to meet his father!" Shi Zhan hurriedly knelt down and said goodbye.

Shi Hu leaned over, opened the bead curtain, and walked out slowly.

"Get up." Shi Hu raised his hand slightly.

Shi Zhan stood up and saw that Shi Hu looked tired, and his face looked extremely pale in the dim candlelight, so he replied respectfully: "Thank you, Father!" ”

"I heard you have something urgent to see me." Shi Hu sat down slowly, pulled his clothes, and said, "Say, what's the matter?" ”

"Erchen heard that the two brothers of the Murong clan have escaped from the post house."

"You're very well-informed, and that's what you're here for?"

"Back to my father's words, that's exactly the case." Shi Zhan paused, and then said: "Now this matter is known all over the city, and the patrol battalion is also searching everywhere, so Erchen also heard about this matter this morning. ”

"The group of wastes guarding the post house, I have ordered all of them to be arrested, Wen Cang guessed that someone secretly colluded with Xianbei and let go of the two Murong brothers, so I have ordered him to investigate this matter, and he has also sent someone out to hunt down, hoping to catch those two back."

"That's what Erchen is worried about!"

"What do you mean?"

"Forgive Erchen bluntly, these two Murong brothers can't be caught."

"There are only a few roads to Xianbei, hurry up and notify the county and state capitals, is it possible that these two Murong boys can still fly with wings?"

"At the beginning, Erchen proposed to put these two people under house arrest in the post house, because Murong Jun was resourceful and scheming, and he was afraid that he had the heart to plot the world. Now that he has escaped from the post house, nine times out of ten he is no longer in Yecheng, and the fish has returned to the sea, how can he be found again? ”

"Either way, maybe we can get these two bunnies back!"

"Your Majesty, if Murong Jun returns to Xianbei, then there may be another war on the northeast border, Erchen suggests that the front line of Jicheng should strengthen vigilance and prepare food for war! Repair the city wall and dig deep moats to release Xianbei from suddenly raising troops to attack. ”

Shi Hu waved his hand and said: "You are too worried, in the battle of Snow Wolf Valley last year, Xianbei lost 60,000 soldiers, and this year's spring sent to the table, I don't think they will have the heart to go south in the next few years." ”

"Father, you must not be deceived by the Xianbei people's surrender table, it is true that all the 60,000 horses of Dugu Nanxin were annihilated by the sons, but the Xianbei people have always been brave and aggressive, and the Yandi is very bitter cold to the north, and the Xianbei people have lived in such a harsh environment since childhood, and they have also achieved the extremely tenacious quality of the Xianbei people, so the Xianbei people will definitely not succumb to the Zhao State, as long as there is the slightest opportunity, the Xianbei people will make a comeback."

"Xianbei is sparsely populated, the population is thin, and the country's troops are poured out, and now there are less than 100,000 people, why be afraid?"

"Father, not long ago, the Huns just came to attack, and their intentions are obvious, and they are also greedy for this land in the Central Plains! Last year's heavy snow in the north, if the Huns eased up this year, when the autumn is high and the horses are fat, maybe they will enter the customs again, once the Huns send troops again, then Xianbei is also likely to take advantage of the fire to rob, then Zhao will be the enemy on the back! ”

Hearing this, Shi Hu couldn't help but take a breath of cool air, what Shi Zhan said was indeed very reasonable. When Emperor Taizu Shi Le raised troops to seize the territory of Liu Yuan's descendants, drove them back to Mobei, and called himself emperor in the Central Plains, the ambition of the Huns to fight back to the Central Plains for many years has not stopped for a moment, if it is not for their own geographical advantages, Zhao is afraid that it has already become a grassland for the Hun cavalry to gallop.

"What do you think? We have new hatreds and old hatreds with the Huns, and we don't share the sky with the Xianbei people, and it is impossible to make peace! Not to mention losing the face of the ancestors, the deep hatred of those decades cannot be resolved! ”

"Erchen understands that even if we want to make peace, they won't really be willing, the Huns and Xianbei people are both wolf ambitions, and it is absolutely impossible to become a dog!" Shi Zhan thought for a moment and asked, "I don't know where the leader of the Qiang tribe captured by King Qing is now?" ”

"Locked in the prison of Dali Temple, I am going to cut him down in the near future!"

"Erchen heard that the Qiang people already knew that Mudu had been arrested, and now they are sending envoys to each other with the Huns, and it is very likely that they are going to form an alliance and prepare to invade our Zhao State again. According to Erchen's opinion, he should send someone to the Qiang tribe to send Mudu back at the moment to show His Majesty's magnanimity, so as to stabilize the Qiang people, and then send someone to the Di tribe to appease them. ”

"The Qiang and Di are just two fleas, and I want to pacify them? Where is my face? Shi Hu very much disagreed with Shi Zhan's idea.

"My father is right, the Qiang people and the Di people are indeed two fleas, although they can't kill people, but they are enough to make people uncomfortable. At present, Zhao is surrounded by enemies on all sides, and one more enemy is one more threat, so it is better to appease them for the time being, at least once the Huns and Xianbei raise troops, they will not follow and coax. ”

Shi Hu gently rubbed the corners of his clothes with his fingers, and slowly stood up, walking back and forth with his hands behind his back, thinking about Shi Zhan's words.

"You have just said that the Qiang people and the Huns are sending envoys to each other, although Mudu is still alive, but he has been cut off by King Qing, in this case, how can he Qiang people guard Zhao Guoan again?" Shi Hu suddenly stopped, looked at Shi Zhan and asked.

Shi Zhan lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke: "This matter is not without opportunities, it depends on how to return the wood to the Qiang people." ”

"Tell me about it! Is there any way! Shi Hu hurriedly asked.

Shi Zhan shook his head helplessly, raised his head and said, "Rong Erchen thinks about this matter, there should be a way!" ”

"I have remembered all the things you mentioned today, go back and think about it, and write a letter to me as soon as possible!"

"The retainers obey." Shi Zhan saluted Shi Hu and said, "Then the ministers will not disturb the rest of the father, and the sons will retire first!" ”

"Wait! I have something to ask you! Shi Hu suddenly stopped Shi Zhan
