The pill that Zhou An wants to refine, the alchemy process is not very complicated, that is, it takes a long time, and there can be no mistake in the heat, he only has one chance, and if he fails once, he will have no chance!

In the inner hall, there is only Zhou An.

After Zhou Anxian prepared all the other medicinal materials, he finally opened a very large jade box on the table on the side of the inner hall, which was carved from a whole piece of jade, enough to fit a human head.

Opening the big jade box, Zhou An saw the treasure inside-seven-colored vermilion fruit!

This looks a lot like a tree, a very small tree, there are seven fruits on the tree, the seven fruits are different colors, all glow with different colors of fluorescence, they represent yin and yang and the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, a total of seven attributes!

This is a heavenly treasure that will explode and die even if it is taken directly by Tiangang Realm, and the energy contained in each fruit is unimaginable!

It is precisely because the energy contained in it is so terrifying that the elixir refined from it has the effect of defying the sky!

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the creation of heaven and earth, and it is not an exaggeration to reverse yin and yang.

Zhou An took out a handkerchief from his arms, wrapped the white jade fruit on the Zhuguo tree with a handkerchief first, and then slowly and carefully plucked it...... The seven-colored vermilion fruit cannot be directly touched with the hand, such as picking it like this.

The fruit, which is as white as jade, represents the yang attribute.

This one is enough, and the other six, Zhou An also knows the refining method, and can refine all kinds of incredible pills, but ...... However, there was a lack of other auxiliary medicinal materials, so he only knew the method, but he couldn't refine it.

******

Late at night, the Qianyuan Hall was still brightly lit.

The empress had already gone to bed, but because she had received a secret report, she had to get up. After she came to the Qianyuan Palace, she issued an order to summon Gao Hong, Su Chengguo, Yuan Shengshi, Li Guangshan and others.

Li Guangshan was the last to arrive, and when he hurriedly entered the Qianyuan Palace, everyone else had already arrived.

"See the Holy One!"

"Li Shangshu doesn't need to be polite."

"Shengshang, I don't know if I call the old minister ......late at night," Li Guangshan asked, he also glanced at Gao Hong and the others, who had been called in the middle of the night, and he had already realized the seriousness of the problem.

The empress listened to Li Guangshan's question and directly handed the secret letter to Li Guangshan.

Li Guangshan read the secret letter, and his face changed.

This secret report came from outside Qianjing City, and it was the news from the spies who had been monitoring the Sichuan River Army.

Since half a year ago, Wu Xukuan transferred the Chuanhe army to the outside of Qianjing City, and until today, the 100,000 Chuanhe army has not left.

After quelling the rebellion of the Baijiang Army, the Baijiang Army was also outside Qianjing City, and did not leave, and the 100,000 Baijiang Army was confronting the 100,000 Chuanhe Army.

Of course, this confrontation was carried out in secret.

Naturally, there would be no conflict between the two legions on the surface, and although the positions they were stationed were only a few dozen miles apart, they had never intersected in any way...... Originally, there was an intersection, because they were all Wu Xukuan's soldiers, but the Baijiang army was "rebelled" by Li Guangshan, so there could be no intersection.

There is really going to be an intersection, that is, a big war between the two armies!

And now, when the empress received the news, the Chuanhe Army stationed in Gaoyang County left Gaoyang County at night when it was just dark today, and was approaching the capital!

Calculating the time, if the Chuanhe army marched all night, it would probably arrive at the Qianjing City at noon tomorrow! Because it is too close to Qianjing City, and it takes time for the empress to deliver the news.

Therefore, even if the empress made the fastest decision and ordered the Baijiang army to chase the Sichuan River army.

Then, when the Sichuan River Army arrives at Qianjing City at noon tomorrow, it will take at least three or four hours for the Baijiang Army to catch up with the Sichuan River Army.

Although it is still uncertain what the purpose of the sudden movement of the Sichuan River Army was, and the possibility of directly entering Qianjing is very low, no matter what the purpose of Wu Xukuan's step is to make this arrangement, it can be called a critical situation.

The devil knows what Wu Xukuan is thinking.

Today's early dynasty Wu Xukuan is not just as simple as losing face, his close confidant Qi Jingtai was killed, and Yang Deyong also betrayed him, which has an impact on Wu Xukuan, not to mention how fatal, is not too much.

The bad impact of Yang Deyong's betrayal and the loss of control of the household department have made Wu Xukuan realize that he has little time left.

Such an incident happened in the early dynasty, and in the evening the Chuanhe army left Gaoyang County.

It can be inferred that Wu Xukuan should have sent someone to convey his orders to the Chuanhe army shortly after he left the early dynasty.

As for what exactly the content of the order was, it is not known.

But I feel that Wu Xukuan is also forced to be anxious!

"Holy Lord, the old minister thinks ...... Although the Chuanhe army came to Qianjing, but it was by no means to enter the city, even if Wu Xukuan could directly let the Chuanhe army enter the city, he would not do so, the palace was guarded by 20,000 Tiance troops, and there were 3,000 Shence troops in Da Nei...... It is impossible for Wu Xukuan not to think of this! Li Guangshan said.

The Empress nodded.

"The old man has a point." Gao Hong and others also said.

There is one thing that everyone understands, that is, if Wu Xukuan starts to rebel by force, the primary target is the empress, and everything is based on the premise of winning the empress, and now compared with the troops, Wu Xukuan has no advantage.

Therefore, he will definitely not be like a reckless man, directly mobilizing all his forces to attack the palace.

That's a good idea, you can't win the empress at all!

And no matter how the Chuanhe Army moved, it was contained by the Baijiang Army.

Wu Xukuan will definitely play some intrigues and tricks to create an opportunity to win the empress, so what is the purpose of his sudden mobilization of the Sichuan River Army is very important.

"Then Li Shangshu thinks that Wu Xukuan's move is ......," the empress asked again.

"Holy Lord, the old minister thinks that Wu Xukuan may want to put pressure on the Holy Lord, he knows that you are worried that there will be chaos in the capital, and chaos in the capital will cause chaos in the world...... At the same time, this is also preparing for his next move, he first transferred the Chuanhe army to the city......"

"The old marshal is reasonable, but the last general thinks that there is another possibility, the Chuanhe army was originally Wu Xukuan's strongest force to threaten the saint, but now it is pinned down by the Baijiang army, Wu Xukuan mobilized the Chuanhe army, led the Baijiang army to the capital, and secretly set up an ambush on the road, it is not impossible to ......"

Li Guangshan and Gao Hong spoke one after another.

Negotiate.

But in the end, I didn't come up with a reason.

Because it's all speculation.

The possibilities really become more and more the more you think about them.

I didn't know Wu Xukuan's purpose, so I could only take one step at a time, and first ordered the Baijiang Army to be mobilized to also come to the capital.

"By the way, I don't know why Zhou An and Zhou's father-in-law didn't come......" The discussion was about to end, and Li Guangshan remembered to ask.

With such a big stake, Zhou An didn't come, which is very strange.

Zhou An fell out of favor? Not trusted?

That's impossible!
