Wang Liu didn't speak, and after looking at everyone's corpses, he turned his gaze into the mourning hall.

In that small coffin, lay the youngest grandson of their Wang family, and he was also the worst one in this group, and the rest of them could either have their hands and feet cut off, or they could cut their throats and chests, but he was the only one who had half of his head cut off.

He was only ten years old.

Wang Liu's eyes were deep, so black that he couldn't see the end, the thick hatred was suppressed, and it still flowed outward from his limbs, Wang Yan stood behind him and sighed inaudibly.

This little grandson is not easy to come by, and he is spoiled by the family, although he has not been arrogant in the jade city because of the family rules, but he often does not listen to the elders and plays around.

The nomads outside the city, they had warned more than once, but something still happened.

The Xiling soldiers were about to move, they had already known it, and they thought it was just a small fight, but in fact, logically speaking, if it weren't for the fact that this little grandson was not a child of the Wang family, this time it was indeed no different from the usual sneak attacks and looting.

However, Wang Liu still felt that there was a layer of haze over his head, which was the smell of conspiracy.

"Is there any news from Yicheng?" Wang Liu asked.

"I haven't heard that the court has been arguing for a long time."

"Sending troops, or not sending troops, right?"

Although he didn't want to admit it, Wang Yan still nodded: "Yes." ”

Qingqi has not stabilized the people's livelihood for a few years, and if you want to go to war at this time, it is inevitable that other countries will take advantage of it, although Xilin has been defeated and has handed over the letter of surrender to Qingqi in front of the whole world, but over the years, hatred has been invading the nerves of Xilin's people all the time.

Yucheng is garrisoned by the Wang family, and if you want to send troops in a bright and bright way, you have to have a name.

Now, the name is there.

If Emperor Qingqi does not send troops, it will make the Wang family swallow their anger, and the Wang family will serve the country and the people for generations, throwing their heads and spilling blood, but the emperor is unwilling to stand up for the Wang family, and the Wang family army is afraid that there will be dissatisfaction inside and out, and if it is not good, it will come to support the army and stand on its own and break with the Qingqi Emperor.

But if Emperor Qingqi asked the Wang family to send troops, then food, grass, men and horses, and time would all become problems, and Xilin might have established some kind of alliance with other countries at this time, and maybe he had gathered men and horses before he started, and there were too many possibilities.

The Wang family's army is not a person who has no thoughts, but they are all secretly choked to death, and the rest are either thoughtful but hidden, or they are dead to the Wang family and the Qingqi royal family, and the rest are loyal.

"In any case, integrate the soldiers and horses first." Wang Liu raised his hand, his expression was grim, whether this battle was fought or not, he had to prepare.

"Yes."

"Count the grain and grass, sharpen the weapons, and increase the patrol."

Wang Yan nodded and walked out quickly.

The first to flirt is cheap, Wang Liu knows very well that if the emperor does not agree to send troops, then he can only force everyone in the Wang family to swallow this grievance.

Qingqi is now unstable.

Above the court, there was still an argument, Bai Li Xian's face became more and more heavy, Yucheng was too far away, and the news was not clear, maybe when they were arguing, there was already a fight over there.

"That's it!" Baili Xian finally couldn't bear it anymore and roared.

Suddenly, in the hall, there was silence.

Bai Li Ye's face as if frozen by frost finally had a trace of movement, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and quietly looked at his eldest nephew, who had always been quiet.

"A group of people who have stepped into the loess with half of their bodies, they can't figure out this thing, they are noisy, what kind of system is it?!"

"The emperor is angry." The ministers were all terrified.

Baili Xian tugged at the corners of his mouth, rubbed his eyebrows with a headache, and said: "Go back and think about it, if you can't come up with a specific plan tomorrow, it will still be so noisy, one person will be hit by fifty boards, and go to the ancestral hall to kneel!" ”

After the angry retreat from the dynasty, Bai Li Xian asked Ying Rong to leave Li Xiang and Bai Li Ye and other important ministers.

In the imperial study, Bai Li Xian was a little anxious, but the introverted personality made him unable to reveal his true emotions, but his eyebrows were deeply locked, and he could still make people see his uneasiness.

Baili Ye looked at Li Xiang, and Li Xiang looked back again.

The two looked at each other, and then looked at Qi Mingyan, the secretary of the military department.

Qi Mingyan: "...... "What do you think I'm doing?!"

The remaining four were all generals who had led soldiers, two were with Baili Ye, and the other two were veterans who had to retreat to Yicheng because they were injured on the battlefield.

Among these individuals, Bai Liye and Li Xiang's attitude is unclear, but the young generals want to fight, just because they are young and have not been on the battlefield many times, and they urgently need military merits. For them, sitting under the roots of the imperial city will not be promoted, only the military exploits are really pinched in the palm of the hand.

And two veterans, one wants to fight, the other doesn't want to fight.

The one who wanted to fight, he was short-tempered when he was young, and he couldn't help it, but now Xilin Bing killed the little grandson of the Wang family, which is clearly stepping on his face, and he can't do it if he doesn't fight.

The other one who doesn't want to fight, and his worries can be understood, the treasury is not rich, and the war costs the people and money, and if other countries take advantage of the weakness, Qingqi will be in danger again.

"What does Li Xiang think?" After a long silence, Bai Li Xian suddenly called names.

"Yucheng is a long way away, and I don't know the real situation."

"What do you think?"

"In recent years, there are often ill-intentioned people in the Wang family's army, and there are two possibilities for this incident, one is that Xilin soldiers deliberately provoked, and the other is that there are villains in the Wang family's army."

Both of these situations, either way, are intriguing.

Xilin took the initiative to provoke, there must be forces of other countries behind it, and Qingqi rashly sent troops, fearing that the Wang family's troops would be damaged.

There are villains in the Wang family's army, either they are spies, or the Wang family has objections.

But they are far away in Yicheng, there is no way to know what the truth is, they are very passive, even if Baili Xian installed his own people in the Wang family army early in the morning, but after so many years, maybe that person has long lost his original loyalty.

The human heart is the most immeasurable thing.

"In this case, it is better for the emperor to send someone to Yicheng to find out what the truth is, if it is Xilin's provocation, then find a way to find out who Xilin is conspiring with, and then think about it in the long run." A young general said.

The veteran who didn't want to fight also nodded at this time: "If it is found that there is a problem in the Wang family's army, you can also take this opportunity to re-wash the Wang family's army." ”

Bai Li Xian thought silently, and looked up at Bai Li Ye, who had not spoken.

As soon as the uncle and nephew looked at each other, Bai Li Ye opened his mouth: "The people who go to Jade City have to be carefully selected by the emperor." ”

"Who does the fourth uncle think is the most suitable?"

"I shouldn't leave Yicheng." Bai Li Ye immediately took himself out, quite cheeky.

Baili Xian turned to look at Li Xiang again, Li Xiang blinked, and turned his head towards Qi Mingyan again.

Qi Mingyan: "...... "What do you always look at me for?!"

"Master Qi?" Bai Li Xian opened his mouth in confusion.

Qi Mingyan trembled: "The minister thinks ...... Why don't you let General Wu go? ”

Anyway, he won't go, whoever loves to go.

Wu Shu, the old general Wu, is the veteran who proposed not to fight, and when he was young, he was also a fierce man who could be ten with one, but in a battle, he accidentally fell off his horse, and the horse's hooves broke his leg bones, and now he is still a little lame when he walks, and he has to retreat from the front line.

Because he doesn't want to fight, he will be more objective.

And Wu Shu, who is known for his straight brain, can't lie, and is on par with Ji Tunshan.

However, it is not enough for him to go alone, and he has to send another person.

Baili Xian chose a relatively calm personality from the two young generals, and if it was really inevitable to fight at that time, then he could also help.

The two immediately went back to pack their bags and prepared to set off.

Just in case, Baili Xian also repaired the book Chidu later, prepared grain, grass and soldiers and horses, and was ready to fight at any time.

"Going to fight?" Li Tong was lying on the table with his upper body still holding half a piece of snack in his mouth, and looked at Zhu Peipei in surprise who was returning from inquiring about news on the street.

"Not necessarily, I haven't figured out whether it's a deliberate provocation or a change in the military." Zhu Peipei stuffed two pieces of snacks into his mouth, and said vaguely: "However, it is rumored on the street, maybe the Wang family wants to stand on their own." ”

Li Tong frowned slightly, she didn't believe that her mother's family would rebel, if she wanted to be self-reliant, why did she go earlier? I have to wait until so many years have passed since the new monarch ascended the throne, and he sacrificed the youngest grandson of the Wang family, that is too ruthless, right? Not so much.

"Madam, you said, will the emperor send a general to Jade City?"

Li Tong was stunned, but quickly vetoed the answer.

When Bai Li Ye came back from the border pass, it was just to not let the emperor worry, the four words "meritorious master" were very dangerous, even if they were uncles and nephews.

Now that Yucheng is hovering on the edge of danger, there are not no generals in the DPRK and China, and it is not impossible to fight, not to mention that it is just a test now, there is no need for Baili Ye to go out, even if the emperor asks him to go, Bai Li Ye may not go.

But if he doesn't go, it doesn't mean his people don't go.

Sure enough, He Yuan blended into the army heading to Jade City.

After leaving the palace, Bai Liye did not go back to the General's Mansion directly, but was dragged by Li Yinzhi to the restaurant to drink, since the marriage was set, Mrs. Li agreed to Li Yinzhi to go out, but she couldn't go to the flower building again, and she would fight once she went.

In desperation, Li Yinzhi could only retreat and go to the flower building to see the girl, so it was always okay to go to an ordinary restaurant to drink, right?

"Why don't you go to Jade City?" Li Yinzhi's drunken eyes were hazy, but his mind was actually very clear.

"Why should I go to Jade City?" Bai Li Ye took a sip of wine, his eyebrows moved slightly, this wine is good, it is very clear to drink, and it has a fruity aroma, maybe Mrs. will like it, bring some back to her to taste it in a while.

"What a rare opportunity to make meritorious contributions!"

Bai Li Ye glanced at him: "Do I need this bit of combat merit?" ”

"Yes." Li Yinzhi shook his head: "Don't you want to retreat, right?" ”

"It's a little bit." Bai Li Ye remained silent, casually picked up a peanut, chewed it a few times and swallowed it: "I've been waiting for when Qingqi can really stabilize so that I can do what I want to do." ”

"What do you want to do?"

Bai Li Ye showed a gentle smile: "Take your beloved to visit the mountains and rivers." ”
