After a night of hustle and bustle, at dawn, there was finally a result.

Huan Wu sat on the couch and wore a thin brocade robe. didn't sleep all night, and Huan Wu's spirit was not too good.

"Lord, Qi Qi has fled the palace after stealing the Meridian Yue, and the Divine Guards are chasing after him."

Fang Yuting half-knelt in front of Huan Wu and said. Huan Wu knew that these alien races would make a move sooner or later, but he didn't expect them to move so quickly.

"Meridian? It seems that the rift within the demon clan is already quite large! ”

Huan Wu touched his beard and smiled. Although the ritual was stolen, the stakes were high. But on the other hand, it's good news.

There are thirteen states in the world, and Huan Wu is in charge of the seven states of the Central Plains. Although the long border in the north is guarded by Liangzhou Zhu Zi, Yan Guo Jingyun and He Huanwu, he is the sole leader, and he needs to maintain a certain military strength on the border every year.

Fortunately, at this moment, the barbarian clan is weak, and the demon clan is even more mired in civil strife, which can reduce a lot of pressure.

"When the palace was in turmoil, what about those so-called Great Zhou loyal ministers in the divine capital?"

"They're all safe. Over the years, they have been rectified by the lord several times, and they are all honest now! ”

Huan Wu nodded: "The rest of the people don't have to worry, I'm most worried about the two old guys, Su Zhe and Chang Yu." ”

For these two people, what Huan Wu's words revealed was fear. However, they are former ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty and are highly respected. It is more in the interests of Huan Wu to cooperate with them than confrontation.

After all, Huan Wu needs to use them to achieve the effect of calming people's hearts. They are needed more to control the court more smoothly.

"None of the people we sent to spy on them have noticed any major moves in them lately. However, Meng Qing has been very close to Chang Yu in the past few days. ”

"Meng Qing?" Huan Wu pondered slightly, "Don't worry about Meng Qing's affairs for the time being, you lead the Divine Guard, and you must take back the ritual weapon from Qi Qi's hands." ”

"What about Qiqi?"

"Live or die. There is no need for us to clean up the opponents for the prince of the demon clan. ”

"I understand."

Fang Yuting bowed his head in response, and his figure disappeared into this room in an instant.

After a sleepless night, Huan Wu was about to take a nap, but a voice sounded outside.

"Lord, Lord Zhao Ye asks to see you."

"Let him in!"

Zhao Ye walked in with a note, his body was like the wind, and his beard was floating.

Zhao Ye has always been steady, and he usually pays attention to his demeanor, and Huan Wu really hasn't seen him like this.

"Lord, about the matter of Xuan Zhu, Shu has already answered."

Zhao Ye bowed, and his appearance was still the same. Even in the eyes of outsiders, Zhao Ye at this time is completely the standard appearance of a good courtier with self-denial and dedication.

It's just that the more people who know him, the more they know that once Zhao Ye starts to be serious, it means that things are big.

Huan Wu remembered that the last time Zhao Ye looked like this, it was when Chen Shi of Xuzhou led an army of 80,000 to attack Yanzhou, and captured fifteen big cities in a row, almost hitting the outskirts of Shendu.

That big battle almost cost Huan Wu's life. But in the end, Huan Wu still won.

Huan Wu's face sank, and he asked, "What did Yang Xian Xiao'er say?" ”

"Yang Xian agreed to the lord's request, saying that for the sake of the Great Zhou and the people of the world, he was willing to negotiate with the lord."

"Isn't that great?"

Huan Wu took the song from Zhao Ye's hand, and after reading the content on it, his face was stagnant, and he didn't even notice that the thin brocade of the shawl on his body slipped off.

Changfu Annex.

A hearty laugh came from the house, Meng Qing was outside, and in his memory, he had never seen his uncle laugh so happily.

Meng Qing pushed open the next door and walked in. Chang Yu was still smiling, and when he saw him, he beckoned.

"Zongshi is here, sit!"

"Uncle, what makes you so happy?"

Meng Qing knelt beside Chang Yu and asked.

"Zong Shi can know, what about Xuan Zhu?"

"I heard that Shu has already responded, but I don't know what it is."

Chang Yu smiled and said, "Huan Wu was deceived by Yang Xian and those eight sects, and he was furious. So he used the matter of Xuan Zhu to find out the situation, but in fact, he wanted to further put pressure on Yang Xian and the eight sects, and show an attitude in front of the world. If Yang Xian agrees, then he will definitely suffer a lot of trouble. If Yang Xian does not agree, then Huan Wu can say that it is not that he is unwilling to make sacrifices for the common people in the world and give up national hatred and family hatred, but that he Yang Xian has no measure, has a small belly, and is unwilling to cooperate with him. ”

Meng Qing nodded, he knew this matter very well, he was present at the time, and he also knew that Huan Wu had made a lot of tricky requests, and he had to ask Yang Xian to agree before he could give Xuan Zhu Zhu.

"How did Yang Xian react?"

Meng Qing asked, but Chang Yu couldn't help laughing, seeing Meng Qing a little strange.

Yang Xian not only agreed to all of Huanwu's requests, but also sent an envoy to discuss this important matter with Huan Wu concerning the people of the Great Zhou. But the messenger he sent was Yang Chun! ”

"What?"

Knowing this, Meng Qing's face couldn't calm down for a long time, and his heart was even more terrified.

Speaking of this, the smile on Chang Yu's face has not disappeared.

Huan Wu thought that he had planned properly, but Yang Xian was a strange soldier. In this way, Yang Xian is equivalent to taking the Huan Wu army in front of the world. If Huan Wu does not agree, then he will lose the support of the people, and everything he said before will be empty talk. If he agreed, I was really a little curious, did Huan Wu have the courage to let Yang Chun enter this divine capital city? Huan Wu is lifting a stone and shooting himself in the foot! ”

"Uncle, if Yang Chun comes, I'm afraid that this god will be turned upside down, but it's still far away. The palace was stolen last night......."

Chang Yu's face changed, he waved his hand, and said softly.

"I know what you're trying to ask, Qiqi's business, it's none of my business, and I haven't offered him any help."

"That's strange, even if Qi Qi has a cultivation comparable to that of a great grandmaster, but after all, he is a demon, how can he know the specific defenses in the palace and steal the ritual weapon? If it weren't for the divine guards deploying in the palace, he would almost have retreated. ”

"I'm a little strange about it, but maybe it has something to do with the secret he told me. Now Huan Jue sits in the palace, carefully investigating the inside and outside. The god guards are outside, chasing and killing Qiqi. If this matter is really related to Su Zhe, then there must be some excitement to watch. ”

"But if Qi Qi is caught by the Divine Guard, will my uncle be implicated?"

Meng Qing hesitated, but still said it. Although he didn't know the specific situation, he could also surmise that Chang Yu had made a lot of deals with the demon clan.

Chang Yu shook his head, laughing at Meng Qing was still too immature.

"Not to mention whether the god guard can catch Qiqi, but what if he catches it. Without evidence, how can you be trusted by just relying on the words of a demon? ”
