Tang Meng and Duan Jingqi were both shocked, and they both raised their heads to look at Duan Jingyi, who was looking as usual on the opposite side, and thought that there was something wrong with their ears, but it turned out that they heard correctly, Duan Jingyi was planning to help Bing Yiguo in secret.

"But...... Why? ”

Duan Jingyi glanced outside, making sure that there was no one else before he secretly spoke, "You may understand what Father and Emperor mean?" After seeing the two people behind him nodding, he relaxed slightly, after all, as long as they could understand Emperor Duan's intentions, it would prove that these two people were not blindly impulsive and brainless to help Bing Yi, but still had reason.

After confirming this, Duan Jingyi continued to speak, "Actually, it just so happened that a dark guard came back from Bing Dao today, and the snow insect plague is indeed a problem. ”

Duan Jingyi's words startled the two of them a lot, "Then didn't you just say that there is no news in front of your father?" Why should he hide this from his father? ”

Duan Jingyi said quietly, "There is nothing to hide about this matter itself, but the problem is that it was my secret guard who came back to deliver the letter, and because the snow insects in the Ice Kingdom were really powerful, the secret guard was injured, and the people sent out by the imperial court were no longer able to come back." ”

"There's no way back...... You mean! Tang Meng's eyes widened suddenly, and his heart was shocked, it turned out that the power of the snow insect was really so great, Ba Jian and Bi Jiamu didn't say the slightest exaggeration, they didn't even say half of the power of the snow worm.

Because at this time, the three people in the house all deeply understood what kind of elite existence the team sent out by Emperor Duan was, after all, it would be difficult to sneak into the ice in the current bad weather, let alone discern the direction in the heavy snow, look for food and not be discovered by the locals, because once this kind of action is discovered by the Bing people, it is very likely to cause misunderstanding and trigger the war between the two countries.

Or if they are discovered, they are willing to die and never tell their true origins, and these people are categorically not qualified to accept such a task unless they are the best.

But now even such an elite group of people can't come back, which shows the severity of the local disaster situation, Tang Meng is anxious, "How is the dark guard who came back?" Do you need me to heal him? ”

Duan Jingyi shook his head, "For the time being, he has been sent back to the dark guard camp for medical treatment, fortunately, his injury is not deep and will not endanger his life, but according to the situation when he comes back, people have to make more plans, once the snow worms are raging, it will be a silent killing." ”

Duan Jingqi clenched his fists and stepped forward, his eyes full of grief and indignation, "I know what my father meant, he wants to wait until all the Bing people are wiped out before sending someone to deal with the insect plague, and then we can recover the Ice Empire without much effort, with such an expansion, even if we can't tame that land for a while, it will be famous in front of other small countries and become an unshakable overlord, but ...... Ice is not a man's life? They are already trying to make peace, why should we die without help! ”

Tang Meng looked at Duan Jingyi, his eyes were dark, and he was thoughtful, "Jingyi, do you have any other concerns?" Why did you agree to join us in saving the ice? ”

Sure enough, Tang Meng guessed correctly, Duan Jingyi turned his head to look at her, and said in a deep voice, "Jingqi guessed correctly, my father did mean this, but my father underestimated the power of snow insects, now the Bing people are still alive, they have experience in this matter, and they are more familiar with the terrain and snow than us, if we help, we only need to dispense medicine and send supplies, and then if they have any feedback, we will adjust in time to help them get through this disaster as soon as possible, if it is ......"

"If all the people of Bing are killed and wounded, then we will definitely send troops to control the insects after we recover the ice and insects, and at that time we will have no experience in the snow region, and not only will there be a large number of casualties due to the snow insects, but even the ice and snow in the sky will become the mortal enemy of our army," Tang Meng frowned and continued, after speaking, she glanced at Duan Jingyi, "Actually, helping Bing now is helping ourselves, because if we can't control the snow insects at that time, They don't have such a food source as Bing Daoren, and they will definitely turn to the border of our country! ”

Duan Jingyi nodded slightly, Tang Meng's cleverness really came from the big thing, Duan Jingyi continued to speak, "Actually, I have another layer of selfishness in doing this, and that is Jingqi." ”

Duan Jingqi was taken aback, "Me? ”

"Now Bing is the most prestigious and capable of competing with us in the surrounding countries, so my father will agree to their request for peace, and therefore Duan Jingxun will compete for the place of peace in that day, because whoever marries Bi Jiamu can have another layer of backing, and this backer is another kind of power that is different from the power of imperial power, in other words, even my father is not sure that he will take Bing Yi in a peaceful and prosperous era, so this has become a weapon that everyone in the world knows but anyone is helpless against you."

Tang Meng suddenly realized, "If once Bing is destroyed, not only will you not have such a tough weapon, but Bi Jiamu is the daughter of the dead country, and you will be covered with dust on your face, now how much everyone covets this marriage and how much they envy you, and how much you will fall into the well when that day comes." ”

Duan Jingyi's gaze became invisible, "And at that time, Bi Jiamu will definitely feel resentful when he sees that his mother country and relatives are all suffering because of our inaction, Jingqi and her get along every day, and they can't prevent it." ”

Although Duan Jingqi is known as the prince, Emperor Duan did not let him get involved in the court politics too deeply because of his promise to Su Zhi, and the position he gave was also an errand that was easy to produce results and wealth, so for so many years, it was not so much that Duan Jingqi, the prince, was diligent in his work, but that this position was really lucky, and he was already shocked after hearing these words.

What Duan Jing was afraid of was not what happened to him at that time, but what Duan Jingyi and Tang Meng's words were not groundless, but what would really happen.

"Brother......" Duan Jingqi only felt that his throat was hoarse, and he couldn't squeeze out half a word otherwise, Duan Jingyi patted him on the shoulder and said, "So now we have to help Bing Qi Kingdom survive this disaster in secret, for the sake of the people in the border city, for the sake of Jingqi, we all have the responsibility to minimize the casualties." ”

"Then what if after we help the Ice Kingdom through the crisis, they don't appreciate it and are ready to go to war and attack our borders?"

Duan Jingyi looked at Tang Meng, who had a serious face beside him, and suddenly his face became much gentler, he raised his big palm and touched her head, "That's why the Lord of the Ice Kingdom will send his most beloved little daughter over to kiss her, parents naturally hope that their distressed children can find a good home, and they all hope to be regarded as treasures by the other half, just like I do to you." ”
