The words were divided into two ends, Ji Fang drove towards Beiyin early in the morning from the capital of the Nine Hidden Emperors, and there was only one coachman with him.

Beiyin is an empire controlled by the Zhu family, occupying most of the rich areas of the Central Plains, with simple folk customs, dislike war, and extremely comfortable life.

It took more than a month to travel from Jiudu to the border, and it took nearly two months to cross the Long River from the border to the imperial capital of Beiyin.

In front of the city tower, Ji Fang sat outside the carriage, looking at the huge city gate in front of him, with a slight smile on his face, he was wearing a luxurious blue brocade robe, holding a six-foot scepter with ruby and gold edge, which was the standard configuration of foreign envoys.

Entering the city, the flow of people is endless, accompanied by the first city in Beiyin, prosperous to the extreme, compared to the nine capitals are still excessive, it is now winter, although there is no snow, but also a little cold.

Ji Fang did not stay in the city, and went straight to accompany the imperial city.

When he arrived at the gate of the palace, Ji Fang got out of the carriage, glanced at the guards at the door, walked forward, and asked quite politely, "Please go in and pass the word, the ambassador of the Nine Shadows Dynasty is here to see, this is the customs clearance document." ”

After speaking, Ji Fang took out a hardcover manual and handed it to the guard.

The guard took the clearance paperwork, looked Ji Fang up and down a few times, saw that he looked average, dressed appropriately, holding a scepter, looked at the manual again, and replied lukewarmly, "You are waiting here." ”

Ji Fang nodded slightly, the guard ran in, about an hour later, the guard came out, only to see him run to the front and handed the manual to Ji Fangdao, "Your Excellency, the emperor has an order, it's getting late today, you can come and see you tomorrow morning." ”

"Thank you." Ji Fang took the manual and said it, then turned to leave.

With the reply, Ji Yi was relieved, now his main task is to persuade Bei Yin to give up supporting Da Luo, as long as there is no interference from Bei Yin, he believes that the emperor wants to take Da Luo's country, and it is already eight or nine ten.

found an inn at random, and Ji Fang changed into civilian clothes and went out.

The favorite place of literati and ink writers is the Flower Street Bookstore, and Ji Fang is of course no exception, similar to the Book Street of Jiuyou, where most of the learned and elegant people of the Yin Empire gather, and he randomly chose a more luxurious restaurant, and Ji Fang walked in.

"Yo, please inside, what do you want to eat?" The shopkeeper is still so enthusiastic.

The hotel was full of guests, and Ji Fang randomly chose a vacant seat by the window and sat down, ordered a few side dishes and a bottle of water and wine, and waited quietly.

"Hey, have you heard? Da Luo and Jiuyou fought. Sure enough, this is also the hottest place for gossip and discussion, and I saw a table not far away, and several people talked loudly.

"This Emperor of Jiuyou has been recruiting troops since the middle of the year, and anyone can guess that this is going to be a war, but who would have thought that the first thing Jiuyou would fight is the Great Luo Kingdom."

"If you want me to say, this Jiuyou is a little self-conscious, the little emperor just ascended the throne for less than a year, and began to wage war, claiming to lead an army of fifteen million, westward into Daluo, intending to annex, ridiculous."

"Fifteen million? That's not a small amount. When everyone heard this, they were amazed.

"Hey, what do you know, this fifteen million seems like a lot, but have you ever wondered how many military horses there are in Da Luo?" Seeing that everyone was surprised, the man said disdainfully, "Da Luo's standing army is about 30 million, and among the 15 million in Jiuyou, there are more than 10 million temporary establishments. ”

"Speaking of which, isn't this Nine Shadows looking for death?" Everyone nodded in amazement.

"yes"

Ji Fang was eating side dishes, while listening to everyone's discussions, for their family's words, noncommittal, did not pay attention, but they were right about one thing, the emperor Liu Xuan's army, but there are about 10 million temporary troops, and this 10 million temporary army, in Ji Fang's view, is just an abandoned son, the only role is to consume the regular army of Daluo, the east of the Tonghai River has more than 10 million regular troops, if Liu Yi is talented, I believe that as long as there is no accident, It is enough to exchange this 10 million for half of Da Luo.

And the remaining millions of elites are the main force attacking the Daluo Palace.

As long as this army of more than 10 million people occupies all the forces east of the Tonghai River, you can have a long-term tug-of-war with Da Luo, smash Huanglong, and destroy Da Luo is just around the corner.

After thinking about it, now that April and May have passed, the emperor's army should be about to arrive at Jufeng City.

After eating, Ji Fang walked around the street, and after being bored, he returned to the inn.

Early the next morning, Ji Fang drove the carriage towards the palace, and when he arrived at the palace gate, the guard had already met Ji Fang, showed the customs clearance papers, and one of the guards took him towards the palace.

The Hall of Light, the place of the Yin Empire's court, at this time, above the court, hundreds of officials gathered, and the man in the dragon robe who was sitting on the throne of the palace, who was obese, but did not look old, was the emperor of the Northern Yin Empire - Zhu Ming.

"Invite everyone here today, presumably all Aiqing already knows, the Nine Shadows Foreign Envoy just arrived here yesterday, do you have anything to say?" On the throne, Zhu Ming's voice was thick, his breath was very rough, and he looked at the ministers and asked indifferently.

As soon as the ministers heard this, they immediately turned their heads and whispered, and it didn't take long for one of them to stand up, "Your Majesty, now Jiuyou is at war with Da Luo, Jiuyou sent a messenger at this time, it is nothing more than to let the emperor sit idly by, in the opinion of Wei Chen, Da Luo and the Yin Empire have a marriage suitable, it is for the lips and teeth, if Da Luo does not ask for my Da Yin, if you ask for help from us, you must not save it." ”

When everyone heard this, they all nodded, this Jiuyou is at war with Da Luo, and the purpose of this envoy is obvious, that is, to make him Da Yin not interfere, so as to ensure that there is no worries.

Zhu Ming's eyes narrowed, he glanced at the official and said, "Is it appropriate to marry?" The princess who married from Da Luo did not leave me an heir, she has been dead for three years, where is there any suitable marriage, if I don't save it, do you mean I am ungrateful? ”

The official's body trembled, and he quickly knelt down and said, "Weichen doesn't dare." ”

Zhu Ming snorted, and let him go.

At this time, a military attache stood up and said, "Since Jiuyou and Da Luo are at war, there must be an internal emptiness, if you send troops to Jiuyou at this time, then Jiuyou Jiangshan is not at your fingertips." ”

"What is there to occupy in a poor country where they can't even afford to eat." Another official replied disdainfully, and he stood up and said, "Your Majesty, according to Weichen's opinion, why don't you invite that foreign envoy in now and see what he says, now that the emperor has the advantage, you can take advantage of this to see what benefits Jiuyou can give." ”

"What Aiqing said is extremely true." Zhu Ming nodded with satisfaction, this is what he wants to hear, "Xuan's foreign envoy is here to see." ”

"Xuan, the foreign envoy is here!" In the Hall of Light, the father-in-law's loud voice sounded, and the ministers retreated to both sides, looking at the door, Ji Fang's hand was holding a scepter, and he walked in slowly
