In the night, the palace was silent.

However, after a while, the Jiutianjiao quietly turned back in the night, lay outside the windowsill, carefully observed for a while, and saw that there was no movement in the hall, so she left with confidence.

This time, not long after Jiu Tianjiao left, Yun Ji and An Lingsu glanced at each other, and then they flew down and fell to the ground silently.

The huge palace of diligence has been turned into a mess by the two of them.

An Lingsu looked around, his brow furrowed slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

"These Japanese people are really cunning enough. Yun Ji sighed, looked up and asked, "Susu, what are you going to do now?"

"What will be counted. An Lingsu smiled slowly, "Yun Cheng, the Japanese people have always been wolf ambitions, after they get the defense map of the northern Xinjiang, they will definitely send it to Mobei as soon as possible, and send it to the hands of those northern barbarians, and when the time comes, ...... There is lobbying from the Japanese people, and in northern Xinjiang, I am afraid that the war will start again. ”

Yun Ji hesitated slightly.

"Su Su, I never asked you before, what is the matter with that phoenix?" Yun Ji suddenly asked.

An Lingsu smiled, "It's fake, and it's true." ”

There were some things she didn't know how to explain.

Yun Ji raised his head and looked at her deeply, but he didn't ask, but just muttered, "Susu, barbarians have always regarded the phoenix as a god. That night under Qingzhou City, no matter whether the phoenix was real or fake, it always showed its face. Therefore, I was thinking, even if there are Japanese people who are in the way of it right now, the barbarians are afraid that they will not dare to raise troops to invade my Yanbei Sixteen Prefectures for a while. ”

An Lingsu shook her head.

"Yun Cheng, what you said is not unreasonable. However, don't forget the mysterious King Pingnan among the barbarians. An Lingsu said suddenly.

King Pingnan?

Yun Ji frowned slightly, and said, "Is that the king of Pingnan who has never shown his true face among the barbarians, has always shown himself in a mask, but has won the trust of the barbarian Great Khan?"

"Yes, that's him. An Lingsu nodded. "Yun Cheng, do you know that even the eight protectors of the barbarians have never seen the true face of that King of Peace. ”

And she has always been interested in that King Pingnan.

Now, I'm interested.

Yun Ji reacted instantly.

"Su Su," he was a little stunned, and couldn't help but whisper, "You doubt, that King of Pingnan...... It's the Wa people?"

"Hmm. An Lingsu did not deny it, "At first, I just thought that the mysterious King of Pingnan was very interesting, and I was even more curious about why he never showed his true face. But later, after I learned about the collusion between the barbarians and the Japanese people, I gradually understood. ”

Speaking of this, An Lingsu sighed deeply.

"That King Pingnan doesn't show his true face, naturally because he is not good at seeing people. An Lingsu said in a deep voice, "However, since he has won the trust and respect of the barbarian Great Khan, how can he be unsightly among the barbarians?

Yun Ji nodded and said thoughtfully, "So, that King Pingnan is not unsightly among the barbarians, but ...... He can't let the empire know his identity, that's why he always wears a mask and doesn't show his true face. ”

"yes, that's it. The reason why the king of Pingnan has always worn a mask is that he is not a barbarian, but an imperial person. An Lingsu nodded and turned back, "So, I guess...... The mysterious King of Pingnan is probably a member of the Wa tribe. ”

Yun Ji nodded and did not speak.

An Lingsu sighed before continuing, "Yun Cheng, you have also been in the northern frontier for several months, you should know how the great khan of the barbarians trusted and valued that king of Pingnan, right? After all, now that there are many contradictions within the empire, the Marquis of Dingbei and the emperor have torn their faces again. And such a situation can be described as a godsend for the barbarians......"

Such a God-given opportunity, even if there is a reincarnation of the divine phoenix, it is enough to stimulate some people to start a war desperately. Not to mention, there are also Japanese people fanning the flames in the middle.

A war in northern Xinjiang is inevitable!

The difference is only a matter of time.

Yun Ji also thought of this, and his heart sank even more.

In any case, he is also the crown prince of this empire, the military and civilians of northern Xinjiang, and he will also be his people in the future!

An Lingsu patted him on the shoulder and comforted, "Yuncheng, you won't blame me for making my own decisions and letting Li Yun'er and Jiu Tianjiao take that defense map, right?"

"No," Yun Ji instantly understood her plan, shook her head, and said suddenly, "Su Su, are you planning to let the Japanese people send a fake defense map over?"

"Not bad. An Lingsu nodded, "Now, since the Japanese people have set their sights on the northern frontier, if the Marquis of Dingbei is allowed to change the guard in Yanbei, it will be too late in time, and second, once the northern border is fully changed, there will definitely be a lot of movement." Such a big movement, I think it can't be hidden from the barbarians of Mobei. Therefore, it is the best way to replace that defense map now. ”

"That's a good idea. It's just ......" Yun Ji nodded, but said with a puzzled expression, "Su Su, the real defense map has been taken away by the Japanese people." Now, we want to fake, but we are afraid of ......"

An Lingsu smiled, "Yun Cheng, didn't I tell you? Moreover, when Li Yun'er opened the arming map just now, I happened to see it clearly......"

Yun Ji was slightly stunned.

"Really?" he asked, a twinkle of joy in his eyes.

An Lingsu smiled and nodded. "Now let's go with us first, and after we find out the foothold of the Japanese people in the capital, I will copy a fake defense map and send it over, and exchange the real map back without knowing it. ”

"That's very good. Yun Ji smiled, "The picture is fake, but the defense on the northern side of Xinjiang is real." Right now, the barbarians have just retreated in that way, and the Marquis of Dingbei is now afraid that he has no heart to change his defense. As long as there is no movement in the northern part of Xinjiang, no matter how cunning the Japanese people are, they can't imagine that we will steal the beams and change the pillars, right?"

That's exactly what happened. An Lingsu smiled.

"Yun Ji, let's go over and have a look first. Right now, those Japanese people have obtained the defense map of the northern frontier, and I am afraid that if we want to find a way to leave this palace, we must find the other party's foothold in the capital. ”

Yun Ji nodded.

The two of them didn't say anything all the way, and they followed behind Jiu Tianjiao and the others not far away.

But they didn't want to, but along the way, the two were secretly taken aback.

That Jiu Tianjiao did not leave the palace, but returned to the palace that the emperor had arranged for the Japanese envoys.

Right now, the Empress Dowager Zhou is a widow, and the incident has already happened in public, but why is Jiutianjiao still unwilling to leave the palace at such a critical moment?

Could it be that the Japanese people are in the palace, and there are other arrangements?

An Lingsu and Yun Ji glanced at each other, and they were both shocked in their hearts.
