Nangong Cong lifted his robe and knelt down in front of Zhao Chen with a humiliated expression. "The eldest prince, it was the palace that was reckless before, and please don't blame the eldest prince and the monarch of the Eastern Jin Dynasty!" His face flushed, and he felt humiliated to the extreme.

As soon as Nangong Cong's words fell, a secret weapon suddenly flew towards Emperor Showa with lightning speed.

Emperor Showa was shocked, and subconsciously dodged sideways, but the speed of the hidden weapon was too fast, and even if he dodged in time, his arm was still scratched.

"There are assassins, protect the emperor!" Li Anli shouted, and the forbidden troops guarding both sides stepped forward to surround Emperor Showa.

Nangong Chengcheng glanced at Nangong Cong, and Nangong Cong stood up from the ground.

Li Anli roared with full anger, which startled the officials present.

Lin Mumu glanced in the direction where Emperor Showa was.

"Lord Lin, there are assassins, there are assassins coming!" Wang Ru pulled Lin Mumu and shouted with a frightened face.

"What are you afraid of, it's not us that the assassins want to kill." As soon as Lin Mumu's words fell, he felt a murderous aura coming towards him.

Her pupils shrank sharply and pushed Wang Ru away beside her, but she avoided it sideways.

As soon as she dodged, an arrow feather stabbed at the place where she had just stood.

"Lord Lin!" Wang Ru was so frightened that her eyes widened, and she looked at Lin Mumu with horror in her eyes.

"You go find a sheltered place to hide."

"There are assassins, come on, there are assassins!"

More and more arrows flew towards the officials, and for a while, the entire hall was in chaos.

Lin Mumu was trying to find a safe place to hide, when he saw that Nangong Allure and Nangong Cong had already fled from the front of the palace and ran in the direction of the harem.

The people arranged by Zhao Hanjun took Nangong Chengcheng and Nangong Cong all the way to the cold palace outside the harem.

"What kind of place is this, why is there no one here?" Nangong Chengcheng looked around, and a pair of brows were twisted.

"This is the Cold Palace, and there is a dog hole out of the side palace wall of the Cold Palace, from where we can escape."

"What, you let the main hall drill a dog hole!?" Nangong Cong raised his brows when he heard this.

Nangong Allure knew that now was not the time to care about these. "Since you can get out, why don't you go quickly!"

Zhao Hanjun's people took Nangong Allure and they drilled out of the dog hole, and there were already people waiting outside.

On the other side, Emperor Showa, who was surrounded by the forbidden army, looked at the arrow feathers that kept flying, and his face gradually sank.

"What about the Crescent Moon Princess and the Six Princes of the Western Chu Kingdom, they don't send anyone to protect the safety of the Crescent Moon Princess and the Six Princes!" Emperor Showa shouted.

"Yes."

The forbidden army who received the order quickly went to find someone, but after looking around, there were still Nangong Allure and Nangong Cong.

"Your Majesty, Princess Xinyue and the Six Princes are gone."

Emperor Showa's eyes narrowed. "The envoy of Western Chu sent assassins to assassinate me, and if the assassination fails, he will flee, and immediately let people block the palace gate and the city gate to arrest the prisoners, if there is any resistance, there will be no forgiveness!"

"Yes."

An hour later, the Assassins hiding in the shadows were captured by the forbidden army, and all of them admitted that they were Assassins sent by the Western Chu Kingdom.

After the imperial physician bandaged Emperor Showa's wounds, Emperor Showa returned to the main hall and sat down.

Emperor Showa looked at the officials under him with a calm face.

"The Western Chu Kingdom is simply bold, and even dares to send assassins to assassinate me, I can't swallow this breath, if I don't let the Western Chu know how powerful my Eastern Jin Dynasty is, they really think that the Eastern Jin Dynasty is a soft persimmon that can be manipulated by them!"

"The emperor is right, the Eastern Jin Dynasty has become stronger and stronger over the years, expanding its territory and becoming the hegemon on the Fengyun Continent!" A military general stood up with an impassioned face to respond to Emperor Showa's words.

"Isn't it, what is that Xichu, daring to openly assassinate the emperor is simply not taking our Eastern Jin Dynasty in his eyes!"

As long as the people present are not stupid, they can hear that Emperor Showa wants to send troops to Western Chu, and for the generals, this is an excellent opportunity for meritorious service, and they naturally don't want to let it go.

"Your Majesty, this matter has indeed been overdone by Western Chu, and I ask the emperor to allow the old minister to go to Western Chu to reason with the monarch of Western Chu." Prime Minister Wu stood up at this time, not out of necessity, he did not want to see the war happen.

"Theory, what does Master Wu want to theorize with them? After the theory, they kowtow and apologize without pain, and we can spare them? As soon as Prime Minister Wu Cheng finished speaking, a minister stood up and retorted.

Prime Minister Wu frowned. "When the two countries go to war, it is the people who suffer in the end, and please ask the emperor to think twice."

A dark color flashed in Emperor Showa's eyes. "What does Prime Minister Wu mean is that he was bullied by Xichu on my head, but I didn't do anything? Wouldn't this spread to make other countries laugh at me as a wreck!? ”

"Your Majesty, this matter was done by Western Chu, and Western Chu must give an explanation to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the old minister just feels that it is best not to go to war unless it is absolutely necessary."

"In recent years, the treasury of the Eastern Jin Dynasty has been full, and we are still afraid that we will not be able to fight with them?"

"But isn't it, what are you afraid of, Prime Minister Wu, when the emperor attacks Western Chu, the Eastern Jin Dynasty will usher in an unprecedented prosperity! Don't you want to see it? ”

Gradually, the call for the Eastern Jin Dynasty to send troops to Western Chu became higher and higher, and Emperor Showa's originally tense complexion gradually relaxed.

And those ministers who were originally a little wavering noticed the change in Emperor Showa's expression, and they also chanted along with those ministers who agreed to fight.

Slowly, the voices against the war were silenced.

Prime Minister Wu glanced at Emperor Showa and sighed heavily.

"Okay, the matter of sending troops to Xichu is on the agenda as soon as possible, and I want to take Xichu in one fell swoop!"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

On the other side, Nangong Allure and Nangong Cong left the palace very smoothly out of Xijing City.

It went so smoothly that the two of them couldn't believe it was real. 187

"Princess, everyone is ready, and you can set off back to Xichu now."

Nangong Allure frowned and glanced back at the gate of Xijing City.

"I always felt that something was wrong."

"What's wrong?" Nangong Cong didn't want to stay here for a moment, he couldn't wait to give birth to wings and fly back to Xichu.

Nangong Chengcheng shook his head. "I don't know, no matter what, let's go back to Xichu first."

"Hmm."

……

After the assassin in the palace was caught, Lin Mumu and the others returned to their respective posts.

Back at the women's medical office, Wang Ru, who was undecided, drank a big bowl of soothing soup before relieving herself.

"It's scary to see an assassin in the palace today."

"Don't be afraid, it's not us who the assassins want to kill, just find a safe place to hide."

"It's really thanks to Lord Lin in the palace, otherwise that arrow would have shot at me."

"Thank you, we've been colleagues for so long, and I can still see death or not?"

Wang Ru poured a cup of tea and took a sip, and the cold tea made her whole body cold.

"I just heard that Cai Yuan was chatting with the deputy Yuan Zheng and said that those assassins were from Western Chu, and the emperor was furious when he found out, and he was already preparing to send troops to Western Chu."

Lin Mumu's movements on his hands paused. "The emperor wants to send troops to attack Xichu?"

Wang Ru nodded. "That's what Cai Yuanzheng said."

I don't know why, Lin Mumu had a bad premonition in her heart.

That night, Emperor Showa summoned Zhao Xuanling, who was training in the military camp, into the palace.

"Your Majesty, the king has arrived."

Emperor Showa put down the map in his hand and looked up.

"Let him in."

"Yes."

Suddenly, Zhao Xuanling, who was dressed in a dark red suit, strode in.

"See the Emperor."

Emperor Showa had a straight face. "Zhao Xuanling, do you still have the emperor in your eyes?! How bold you are to disobey my will so blatantly! ”

Zhao Xuanling's face remained unchanged and he only lowered his eyes and said, "But the emperor will punish you." ”

Emperor Showa's eyes narrowed. "You have the same virtue as Lin Mumu, why do you think I won't kill you, so you dare to act so nonsense?"

"The minister just wants to marry the person who should be married, and ask the emperor to fulfill it."

This time, Emperor Showa was not as excited as before, but said in a deep voice: "Lao Jiu, you don't know about Lin Mumu's situation, if you really marry her, wouldn't it be a joke for people to see our royal family?" ”

Zhao Xuanling's face did not change and said: "Who dares to look at the royal jokes? ”

This made Emperor Showa choked, who would dare to see the royal jokes, yes, who would dare!?

"If you really like her so much, why don't you marry her?"

Zhao Xuanling looked at Emperor Showa. "My brother wants to marry her."

Emperor Showa walked back and forth twice with his hands in his hands, and suddenly changed the topic.

"Do you know about the assassination of the assassins of Xichu entering the palace today?"

"When the minister entered the palace, I just heard that the emperor is in serious trouble?"

"It's just that I was bruised by an arrow, it's no big deal, Xi Chu did such a thing is not to take me and the Eastern Jin Dynasty in his eyes, how can I swallow this breath."

"What is the emperor's plan?"

Emperor Showa suddenly raised his eyes to look at him. "I'm going to let you lead your troops to Xichu."

"The emperor wants to attack Xichu?"

"That's right, I heard that Xichu is now engaged in internal strife, and we will definitely be able to kill them without leaving a piece of armor if we take the opportunity to attack them, but ...... I looked at the soldiers and horses in the other camps, and felt that I still couldn't compare with the army in your hand, so you mobilized 200,000 soldiers and horses from the Iron Horse Han City to go to Western Chu,"

A dark glint flashed in Zhao Xuanling's eyes. "Your Majesty, the 300,000 soldiers and horses in the hands of the minister are guarding the southwest pass of the Iron Horse Han City, and the emperor knows that it is a place where the Rong people gather, if a large number of soldiers and horses are transferred, the minister is worried that the Rong people will take advantage of the weakness."

Emperor Showa didn't care. "Isn't the Najon tribe just a plate of scattered sand now, leaving an army of 100,000 to guard over there is completely enough."

Zhao Xuanling frowned. "The Rong soldiers are strong and strong, although they are not united enough, but now it is late autumn, every year as soon as it is near winter, they will wait for the opportunity to move, if they know that the army guarding the town is less than 200,000, they will definitely attack the southwest pass, and the minister thinks that the army guarding the southwest pass cannot be moved."

Hearing this, Emperor Showa's expression darkened. "Then are you going to tell me where the soldiers and horses are more suitable to attack Western Chu than the army of Southwest Pass? Iron Horse Hancheng is the closest to Western Chu, mobilizing soldiers and horses from there can not only save time and effort, but also leave a lot of grain and grass, no matter how you look at it, it is very suitable, you don't have to shirk it, I have made up my mind, I ordered you to go back immediately to pack your bags and immediately go to Iron Horse Hancheng to gather troops and horses to attack Western Chu. ”

After speaking, Emperor Showa glanced at Zhao Xuanling with an uncertain expression. "If you don't want to, then hand over the talisman, and I'll send someone else."

"The minister commands."

Seeing that Zhao Xuanling agreed, Emperor Showa's face softened. "You are not young this year, and if you still want to marry Lin Mumu when you return from your victory, I will not object again."

Zhao Xuanling's face remained unchanged. "Thank you, Your Majesty."
