Midnight.

In Xiangguo's mansion, when the last person with a wine burp left in the car, the lively banquet finally dispersed.

Dongfang traveled back to the room, and there was no longer any chatter and laughter at the banquet, and a trace of exhaustion flashed in his cloudy eyes.

Anyway, he is also an old man over seventy. Although he was as ambitious as he was when he was younger, the years did not forgive anyone. The most ruthless thing in the world is time, and the never-ending time is slowly eroding his body. Whenever he sees the rising sun of a new day, he asks himself: Am I really old?

People say that the old man has something to rely on, but what can he rely on? Thinking of his only son, he sighed softly and shook his head in disappointment.

"Sangkoku-sama seems to have something on his mind."

A delicate and sweet voice broke his thoughts. Dongfang Yuanxing's eyes lit up, and he smiled softly, and said, "The holy woman is here, why don't you say hello in advance?" ”

With the lamp in his hand, there was a woman dressed in black sitting in the room.

The Holy Maiden of the Shenwu Sect.

The man in black chuckled, his eyes bent into two crescent moons, and said, "Knowing that the adult is celebrating his birthday today, why should the slave family come to say hello." ”

Dongfang Yuanxing said: "The old man understands the good intentions of the saint. But today, the important members of the court gathered, and the saint's arrival this time was a little abrupt. ”

The man in black didn't seem to understand the meaning of the reproach in his words, and said, "The slave family doesn't want to, but there are a few things that you don't say tonight, and if you receive the news tomorrow, you will definitely blame the slave family again." ”

Dongfang traveled far away: "What do you want to tell the Holy Maiden in person?" ”

"The four ghosts of the Western Regions have come to Bianjing." The man in black stood up and said, "Originally, the night crying ghost among the five ghosts in the Western Regions died at the hands of the Flying Heavenly Gate, so his four elder brothers came to take revenge. ”

Dongfang Yuanxing's face was not wavering, and he said, "At this time, will they have an impact on our plans?" Holy Maiden, although the four ghosts are a great help to the Divine Martial Sect, if it hinders the overall situation, it should be abandoned when it is abandoned. ”

"There will definitely be an impact, but the slave family thinks it's a good thing that they came this time." Humane in black.

Dongfang Yuanxing said: "How do you say this? ”

"In order to express my sincerity in cooperating with you, I have gathered 150,000 troops to attack the border city, and Datang is still in the dark, thinking that there are only 50,000 soldiers and horses to disturb the border." The man in black said, "We moved suddenly, and we have an absolute advantage in troops, the Datang border army will definitely not be able to hold it, and it will be a matter of time before we send reinforcements." But this morning and evening, the difference is huge. If the Tang Emperor hastily assembles an army, it will inevitably lead to internal emptiness, which will be greatly beneficial to the great plan of the adults. “

Dongfang Yuanxing was silent and waited for the following.

The man in black said with a smile: "It's ridiculous that the four ghosts only know that the Xia Kingdom disturbs the border, and I heard that the Tang Emperor sent a general to lead an army of 50,000 to support, thinking that if he seized the tiger talisman and dragged down the pace of the Tang Dynasty reinforcements, it would be a great contribution to the Xia Kingdom." In the name of this, it is really a good strategy to kill two birds with one stone to return to the Holy Sect to show off its might, and then take the opportunity to move down the slaves who killed their brothers in the Tang Dynasty. ”

Dongfang Yuanxing said: "It's a pity that they underestimated the means of the Holy Maiden. “

"These small methods of the slave family are in front of Lord Xiangguo, but they are the axe of the class." The man in black smiled modestly, and continued: "The slave family gave them a roster of Feitianmen, and the four ghosts killed six people in a row tonight, and they also captured the only son of General Peng Yuanzheng by the way, wanting to blackmail him into handing over the tiger talisman. “

"Ridiculous!" Dongfang Yuanxing said, "Extraordinary things should be done in extraordinary ways, even if there is no tiger talisman, it is imperative to help the border, and the idea of the four ghosts is too naïve." “

Dongfang Yuanxing was coping with it on his lips, but he was thinking about it quickly in his heart. The four ghosts are haunting Bianjing, which can be regarded as adding another fire to the nervous Datang at the moment. If he hadn't made good use of this opportunity, he would have been famous for so many years in vain.

"They are naïve, but they are very beneficial to us." The man in black smiled and said, "Lord Xiangguo might as well think about it, if you are the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, seeing that Xia Guo is trying so hard to obstruct the dispatch of troops, will you suspect that there is a major move at the border pass?" Will it speed up the pace of sending reinforcements? “

Dongfang Xing sighed and said, "But even if you send troops now, it's too late." ”

"Not bad." The man in black said with a smile, "The 150,000-strong army has formed a siege, and the old general Zhan Lingyun is destined to bury his bones in a foreign land, which is great news for the adults and the slave family." If Zhan Wushuang's mediocre talent takes over, then the Datang border pass will not be afraid. ”

A person from the Xia Kingdom actually proudly analyzed the overall plan of Xiangguo, who was prominent in the Tang Dynasty, which was impossible in the eyes of others. And now, Dongfang Yuanxing listened very carefully, and there was no displeasure.

"The four ghosts are making wedding dresses for the saint!" Oriental Walk.

"It's to make us a wedding dress." The man in black corrected, a sneer on his face: "These four guys are clever enough to think that the slaves can't see their plot, it's really stupid. If you want to deal with the slave family, you must prepare for the worst, but unfortunately the four ghosts obviously don't understand this truth. “

Dongfang Yuanxing said with a smile: "That's why they will be played with by you between applause, and they are still counting the silver for the saint when they are sold." ”

"Makes the adults laugh." The man in black shook his head and smiled, "Lord Xiangguo, can the slave family take the liberty of asking you a question?" ”

Dongfang Yuanxing smiled: "The holy maiden, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

The man in black said: "How can I say it, your lord, you are also a Tang person, and you are also a Xiangguo above 10,000 people under one person." Tens of thousands of horses have been eaten by us, and some loyal souls are buried in the border, so you don't feel distressed at all, my lord? “

Dongfang Yuanxing smiled slightly and said: "The old man said a big word, with the old man's status today, what he does is like a game, the world is a plate, and everyone is a son." As long as you can win in exchange, no piece can be discarded. “

The world is a plate, everyone is a son, what a big spirit! The man in black nodded silently, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.

"Throughout the ages, from the success or failure of wars to the change of dynasties, in the final analysis, they were all piled up with human lives. People who die for the sake of righteousness actually don't understand what the 'righteousness' they uphold is. "'Great righteousness' is an excuse for the ruler to let people die for profit, but the world is often willing to indulge in such lies, even at the cost of losing their lives." Over time, the meaning of the existence of soldiers becomes sacrifice, and history only depends on whether their sacrifice is worthwhile. “

Dongfang Yuanxing paused slightly, looked at the man in black with a smile, and said, "Dying for the old man is the value of their existence!" “

The man in black sighed all his life, a country has such a hero as traveling to the East, and he doesn't know whether it is a blessing or a curse. She raised her head, looked at the inky night, and secretly sighed that the sky of the Tang Dynasty was about to change.
