Tuoba Tao sat down beside Invite Yu, "Say, what do you want." I'm used to exchanging one with you, and if you don't speak, I'm still not sure. ”

Tan Yuyu shook his head: "I don't want anything in this palace." Need. Please Your Majesty release the Prime Minister of the main palace. ”

"This won't work." Tuoba Tao refused without hesitation, "I can tell you directly, if you escape, I will definitely kill Qin Zhongzhi." Although he is a man of some talent, and it is indeed a pity to die, I don't care about tying your legs with his life. ”

Invite Yu sighed, as if she had already guessed this ending, she turned to say: "Then can you ask Your Majesty to personally pass a message to the right minister for the palace, and say that the palace is fine." ”

Tuoba Tao looked at Tan Invite Yu suspiciously, "That's it?" ”

Invite Yu nodded, "That's it." Hongu has never been able to see the right minister, so he must be worried about the situation on our side. Please Your Majesty personally pass it on your behalf. ”

Tuoba Tao frowned, and let the emperor run errands to pass the word, this kind of thing is probably only Tan Zhaoyu can do. However, it is not too much of a loss to pass the word once in exchange for the news of the underground palace of Tongwan City.

Tuoba Tao thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay." I happen to be fine today. I'll be a messenger for you. ”

Tan Invite Yu watched Tuoba Tao leave, then lay on the bed, looked at the jade tent hanging on the Luo Sha tent and muttered, "Dead fox, don't let me down......"

As soon as Tuoba Tao left the dormitory, the door and the flap behind the cage sounded at the same time.

Tan Zhaoyu immediately shouted to the door with all his might: "Mo Yao, you are guarding outside." No one is allowed to come in without my command! ”

—Dividing Line—

Tuoba Tao really personally brought Tan Zhaoyu's words to Qin Zhongzhi. In fact, he didn't dislike Qin Zhongzhi, and even glanced at Qin Zhongzhi from the bottom of his heart.

After relaying Tan Yuyu's words, Tuoba Tao looked at Qin Zhongzhi's reaction curiously.

Tuoba Tao is not stupid, he naturally knows that it is impossible for Tan Invite Yu to let him personally pass the word for no reason. But he really couldn't understand the meaning of these words.

Seeing that Qin Zhongzhi shook his head and smiled helplessly when he heard this.

Tan Invite Yu's meaning is very clear, let Qin Zhongzhi save himself.

Qin Zhongzhi didn't know whether to be happy about Tan Yuyu's trust in him, or moved by Yan Yu, even in this case, he didn't plan to leave him and go by himself; Or maybe it's sad that her own girl even lets the rescued figure out how to save people.

Qin Zhongzhi smiled and said to Tuoba Tao: "Your Majesty has sent a message to the foreign ministers. Knowing that the girl was well, the minister was relieved. Since Your Majesty is here, it is better to sit down and drink a cup of tea. It can also be regarded as Qin congratulating His Majesty with tea instead of wine, and he became the ruler of Wancheng. ”

The eyebrows on the left side of Tuoba Tao were slightly raised, "You monarchs and ministers have a tacit understanding, and they all say the same thing as me when you open your mouth." ”

Qin Zhongzhi smiled and said, "The foreign minister has been by the girl's side for a long time, and the so-called close to Zhu Zhechi is also somewhat influenced by the girl's words. ”

Tuoba Tao didn't know what he was thinking, and snorted a little dissatisfied, "I hope she can learn more from Qin Xiang, and don't always poke people's hearts as soon as she opens her mouth." Like her, she will definitely suffer in the harem in the future. ”

Qin Zhongzhi endured it so that he didn't laugh out loud, it seemed that His Majesty had touched the nail again at the girl's place. And what he has to do is to hammer this nail a little deeper, so that Tuoba Tao can't pull it out anyway.

Qin Zhongzhi politely invited Tuoba Tao to sit down. Gracefully making tea for the two of them, he asked as if chatting, "I don't know how the war is going on in Chang'an?" Now that all the ten thousand are collected, as long as Chang'an is captured, the Xia Dynasty will no longer be in danger to defend. ”

Tuoba Tao didn't seem to want to say much about the war, but said perfunctorily: "Xi Jin is also a veteran of the DPRK and China." I believe that with him, I won't let Helian Ding's rampant fight for long. ”

Qin Zhongzhi heard Tuobatao's evasion of this matter, and he didn't dwell on it, so he changed the topic and said: "Although the girl is the lord of the country, she hasn't stayed in the Qiuchi country for a few days since the day she was sealed. If you suffer from the minister, you are afraid that you will be entrusted by the girl, and you have to ask about everything, and even the cost of the daily candle, the minister must know in his heart. This time I entered the summer palace with His Majesty, and along the way, the foreign minister couldn't help but convert all the expenses he saw into silver, and the amount of money he got was really breathtaking......"

Tuoba Tao didn't know why Qin Zhongzhi suddenly brought up these trivial things, if it weren't for Tan Zhaoyu's face, he wouldn't have been able to listen to it a long time ago.

Qin Zhongzhi probably saw the impatience shown by Tuoba Tao, so he didn't say anything more, and said with confidence: "The foreign minister dared to guess, but Your Majesty didn't get enough grain and grass for the army to go south in Tongwan City?" ”

As soon as Qin Zhongzhi's words fell, Tuoba Tao's fingers, which were originally tapping on the table, froze.

Last year, the snowstorm in the north of Great Wei caused a shortage of grain and grass throughout Great Wei. The Xianbei nobles also used this as an excuse to oppose the conquest of Great Xia.

However, in the end, the summer attack was carried out because Tuoba Tao believed that after capturing the rich city of Tongwan, there would definitely be enough grain and grass for the army to move further south.

It's just that Qin Zhongzhi is right. Tuoba Tao could never have imagined that there would be a king who would spend all the wealth of the whole country on building luxurious palaces, supporting harmful cults, and living a luxurious life of wine ponds and meat forests.

The Xia Dynasty built the strongest city walls and secret passages at any cost, but what they could give their soldiers to eat was not even a few grains of thin soup with rice. Could it be that Helian Chang thought that as long as there was a city wall, no soldiers could keep his glory and wealth?

Whether Tuoba Tao understood it or not, the fact was that there were mountains of treasures in the summer palace, but there was not enough food and grass for an army to eat.

Tuoba Tao also thought about exchanging treasures for grain and grass, but the 100,000 army needed was by no means a small amount, and now that winter was about to fall, there was not much surplus food in the hands of the civilians, and even if it was to levy grain, it would not even be a drop in the bucket.

"Qin Xiang came to this conclusion just by settling accounts?" Tuoba Tao slowly sat up straight, looking at Qin Zhongzhi with sharp eyes.

Qin Zhongzhi's fox eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, making it impossible to see his true emotions at this time, "Looking at a leaf and knowing autumn, this is what the foreign minister takes care of every day, and it is naturally easier to see through than others." ”

"Qin Xiang has this talent, it's a pity to die." Tuobatao's gaze gradually became cold, as if he would personally understand Qin Zhongzhi's life at any time.

Obviously being held on the neck by an invisible sharp knife, Qin Zhongzhi still smiled greasyly, "Your Majesty Emperor Wei is going to kill the foreign ministers?" After the death of the minister, I wonder how you plan to explain to the girl? ”

Tuoba Tao sat in the circle chair with a golden sword, and his tone was a little heavy, "She just told me that there are secret passages under this Tongwan City, but I didn't expect that when I came to speak for her, I found that Prime Minister Qin Cheng was dead. It is very likely that she was calculated by her Zoroastrian people. ”
