Early this morning, several small hills were erected on the slopes outside the city, namely the clothed mounds of General Mai, Deputy General Yu and Yang Kun.

Mai Xiaoke was already crying at the moment, and the three of them clenched their fists tightly.

Wang Sheng said: "Will we also end up with no bones left one day?"

Pan Zi also said: "Brother Sheng, don't think about it so much, haven't we survived so many battles?"

Both of them looked at Xianze, he was silent, looking at the three dirt slopes, he felt that people's lives were just coming and going, all returning to dust?

Is it like General Mai, who still fights on the battlefield at the end of his life, or like Yang Kun, who dies without even remembering his name?

He didn't know, looking at Mai Xiaoke's heartbroken appearance, he realized that only by surviving was the greatest responsibility for his relatives, but the war had expanded to the point where it could not be stopped, what could he do?

There is no impermeable wall in the world, and the news of Yongsheng's defeat spread all over the battlefield in an instant.

Ye Xianze first took a look at Yunxiao Pass, and went to the armory, grain depot and river direction to take a look, I have to say that this pass is worthy of being called "the first pass in the world".

Even if the enemy army breaks through, as long as it can't hold out, it can still hold out for five or six years.

Although there are not many people in the gate now, it is enough to deal with King Sesi.

King Sisi looked at the Cloud Pass and said slowly: "Is it the 'first pass in the world'? Who can break this pass?"

Everyone looks at me, I look at him, and no one dares to speak.

King Sisi shook his head and said, "Hmph, a bunch of waste, what do you want. ”

Yu Huasheng said: "This ...... Lord Wang, it's really not that his subordinates are incompetent, but this pass is built between the two mountains, and the city gate is rare in the world in terms of thickness and length. ”

"Enough, I don't want to hear you explain, don't use excuses to cover up your incompetence. ”

Everyone was speechless and didn't dare to say a word.

At this moment, Prince Feng Yonghui, who was in Rhine City, had also received the news.

Feng Yonghui said: "Mr. Yuntai, the situation is chaotic now, what should we do?"

Chaoyuntai sneered: "I'm going to give them a big gift." ”

"Oh, what do you mean by Mr. Yuntai?"

"Prince Yongsheng was defeated, King Sexi stopped at Yunxiao Pass, Leiyun was subject to my senior brother, and Li Chuang's side was not optimistic. ”

"If it is not broken, it will not stand, if the Yunxiao Pass is broken, it will be unhindered all the way, and then the ironclad country will be destroyed, which will be the opportunity for His Highness. ”

"King Sesi won't keep you, you are an obstacle, but we want to help King Sesi, not only to make him owe us, but also to know that wealth is in danger. ”

"But if he turns his face, won't we? ”

"If the empire is stable, there will definitely be no place for you and me, it is better to give it a go, of course, we don't help in vain, everything is paid. ”

"Your Highness, what is the most important thing in this era?" asked Chao Yuntai rhetorically.

"Money?population?"

"Territory, as long as you have territory, you have population and money, and the Rhine City is too small to be conducive to our expansion at all. ”

"Now that he is unknown, the second prince of the country, as a country, cannot rebel, leaving people to speak, he can only muddy the water and profit from the chaos. ”

"It's better to send King Sesi personal favors, when he breaks through the Yunxiao Pass, Prince Yongsheng will definitely die, and then His Royal Highness will be the successor to the throne, and when he breaks through the ironclad country and kills the king, he immediately attacks Jingzhou City to contact the old department. ”

Feng Yonghui laughed and said: "Good, good, good, worthy of Mr. Yuntai, it has come to this point, when the big thing is completed, Mr. will be under one person and above ten thousand." ”

"However, there is one more thing that must be guarded against. ”

"Oh, what's going on in the world that worries Mr. Yuntai?"

"There are many, just like my senior brother, he is the opponent we should watch out for the most, I have never won against him when I went up the mountain, although people outside say that I am good at scheming, in fact, only I know the horror of Shangguan Mingchen. ”

"Oh, the senior brother Mr. Yuntai said is Shangguan Mingchen, the head of the Eight Masters of Iron Armor?"

"It's him, it's him we should guard against the most, and the purpose of my coming down this time is also because of him, I want to prove that I'm better than him. ”

"Mr. Yuntai, I don't know something, each of you has your own strengths, why do you have to compete for a high or low?"

"Your Highness, there is one thing in a person's life that can make everyone flock to it, and that is "fame".

"For me, winning or losing doesn't matter, but I just don't recognize that people are always stepping on my head, and they are the people I hate the most. ”

"Mr. Yuntai, there is no need to be like this, let's talk about how to break through this Cloud Pass?"

"Attacking the city is the bottom, attacking the heart is the top, the guard of this Yunxiao Pass, Changji, is a man who values profit over righteousness, as long as we buy him, everything is not a problem, but the change of things cannot be captured. ”

"But for me, others calculate opportunities, and I create opportunities. ”

"This plan, for the time being, I can't say it, I want to meet King Sisi in person, of course, in the capacity of His Royal Highness, and I want him to pay the corresponding bargaining chips, just Jingzhou, presumably he will not be so stingy. ”

"So, then I'll escort Mr. Sisi to King Sesi's barracks?"

"No need, just a fast horse, a waiter, from here to Yunxiao Pass three days away. ”

In the ironclad king city, the news of the defeat has been transmitted back to the royal city, the government and the opposition are shaken, this news is a major blow to them, and now there are no soldiers to send, the guards are not many, and they have to guard against the invasion of other countries.

The king walked around the palace in a rage, and no one dared to approach him.

Then a graceful and noble man came to her, and though she was not young, but her countenance was so well preserved, that she looked like she was in her early twenties, and he came and said, "Why is the king so sorrowful?"

"Queen, you're here, eh, don't mention it, this indisputable thing, lost the battle, and now others are eyeing us at the door of the house!"

"Don't worry, the king doesn't worry, Yunxiao Pass is known as 'the first pass in the world', and it is not easy to break through. ”

"I have a strange feeling when I pick it recently. ”

"When you say that, I think of King Seci as if she had changed since she came. ”

"Presumably she was frightened by the assassins, and now she is living in seclusion, which is normal. ”

The king was furious and said, "My darling children are all traitors. ”

"Your Majesty, I'll go see Cai Cai later, and I'm guiding her well. ”

"Okay, remember to enlighten her well and tell me when you come back. ”

Ye Lin is in the palace, she is very unfamiliar with everything, she does not dare to show up easily, she tries to say and do as little as possible, the previous method of releasing carrier pigeons is too dangerous, and now she is waiting for someone to contact her.

Moreover, nowadays, the form within the royal city is no longer enough to influence this war.

Ye Lin, who was thinking about the problem, was pulled back to reality by a loud sound.

Ye Lin hurriedly stood up and asked Andao: "It turned out that the queen mother arrived, and Cai Cai was disappointed." ”

"Cai Cai, you don't have to be like this, sit, Keling's child, our mother and daughter haven't seen each other for a few days. ”

The queen hugged her, and she trembled, but she felt relieved, knowing that there was no danger in this embrace.

The queen sensed her daughter's abnormality, stroked her and said, "Cai Cai, don't be afraid, the queen mother is here, no one can bully you." ”

The panic and anxiety of the days had been completely replaced by this moment, but the queen now whispered, "Who are you?"

Hearing this, she was like an electric shock, she was overwhelmed, she didn't know how to answer, why she was exposed, and a sense of fear came over her.

At this time, the queen gently stroked her and laughed softly: "Don't be afraid, child, the queen mother is joking with you." ”

"Is it really a joke?" a wave of unease spread through her heart, and the queen still smiled softly, and continued to reassure her.
