Although Gao Qi was locked up, there were many people in the government and the opposition who interceded for Gao Qi, and because Gu Xiwu secretly arranged it, although there were many speculations about Gao Qi's fate outside, he himself did not suffer at all, he just cooperated with the acting.

When Shen Mengxian heard about this, he thought that his plan had succeeded, and he had already separated Mo Xuanyin and Gao Qijunchen. He was so proud that he immediately asked people to start arranging the next step and sent an invitation to Mo Xuanyin.

"The birthday of the monarch of Lanling is imminent, send someone to send an invitation, inviting me to wait?" Mo Xuanyin looked at the gilded post in his hand and threw it on the table disdainfully.

In addition to inviting him, Shen Mengxian also received news that Gu Ronghe had also received an invitation.

The minister who came to discuss hurriedly bent down to ask for instructions, and said hesitantly: "This monarch of Lanling has always had ill intentions towards our country, and this time he invited you to go in the name of celebrating his birthday, I'm afraid it will be a Hongmen banquet!" ”

Of course, Mo Xuanyin knew that Shen Mengxian had a problem, but the dignified monarch of Lanling State invited him to celebrate his birthday. If you refuse...... On the contrary, Lanlingguo grabbed the handle, and said that Yunnan was disrespectful.

At this moment, the minister saw Mo Xuanyin's concern, and took the initiative to ask Ying and said: "The minister is willing to be the envoy, even if he dies in Lanling Kingdom, it will not damage the foundation of my Yunnan." ”

Seeing that the courtiers were so loyal, Mo Xuanyin sighed heavily. He was reluctant to go in person, even though the invitation said he wanted to be there in person. If the minister was asked to die in his place, he would not be able to give an order.

Hearing only a soft sound, the old minister was already kneeling on the cold floor tiles, and said: "The situation between Lanling Kingdom and our country is very tense, if there is no important person as a messenger, I am afraid that it will be difficult to calm everyone's remarks, and then the Lanling Kingdom monarch will say that we have neglected him." ”

The quiet needle drop in the imperial study can be heard, and the eunuchs waiting next to him look at their noses and noses, and they dare not make a sound. I don't know how long it took, Mo Xuanyin's voice sounded, and the courtiers made three kneeling and nine bows, and retreated with the mentality of going to death.

When Gu Ronghe learned that Mo Xuanyin had sent an envoy, he was already on his way to Lanling Country in person.

He wrote a letter and asked people to hand it over to Gu Xiwu, which said that he had investigated Shen Mengxian's various moves to win over South Vietnam some time ago.

When Gu Xiwu received the letter, he learned that Gu Ronghe had gone to Lanling Kingdom in person, and he couldn't wait to send someone to stop him immediately. However, the person who came to deliver the message had already expected Gu Xiwu's performance, and immediately conveyed Gu Ronghe's words.

"I know that this trip is dangerous, but if I don't enter the tiger's den, I will get the tiger. Xiwu, you go and persuade Mo Xuanyin well, and remind him that the weapons of Lanling Kingdom are exceptionally excellent after being transformed by craftsmen...... I was very relieved to learn that he did not go to Lanling Kingdom in person. ”

Gu Xiwu sighed, knowing that his brother had made up his mind, and it would be difficult to turn back. Not to mention that at this time, Gu Ronghe was already on the way to Lanling Kingdom, and it might not be too late to send someone to recover it.

When Gu Xiwu went to find Mo Xuanyin, he happened to hear Mo Xuanyin instructing the attendants beside him. Without Gao Qi listening to orders beside him, Mo Xuanyin still had a few twists when he issued the order.

The minister he sent to Lanling was surnamed Zhou, and this time he asked people to settle Lord Zhou's family and relatives. The court knew well about Lord Zhou's envoy, and they all felt that this envoy had gone and never returned.

After the attendant received the order, Gu Xiwu walked out from behind the screen, came to Mo Xuanyin's side and looked down at the design drawings on the table.

These design drawings were sent by Luoquan, and Mo Xuanyinjiao asked people to find reliable skilled craftsmen in the country to split the design drawings into objects and hand them over to study. After all, this matter is very cautious, and the weapons studied on the drawings are even more aimed at the treasure of the Lanling Kingdom.

Even the components, the ingenious structure of the design on the drawings amazed the craftsmen, and they sighed at the ingenuity.

"These are the things that can suppress the Lanling Kingdom?" Gu Xinwu took a drawing in front of him and looked at it carefully, and asked softly.

Mo Xuanyin sighed, thinking of Lord Zhou who was going to Lanling Kingdom as an envoy at this time, the sooner these weapons were researched, the more sure he would be of dealing with Lanling Kingdom. Although Lanling has elite soldiers and strong generals, the trained army is not as good as Yunnan as a whole, and the leading generals are even worse than the strategy.

If it weren't for the benefits of the weapons of the Lanling soldiers, how could Mo Xuanyin tolerate it a few times, and the surrounding countries would not let Shen Mengxian show off his might.

"The production of the weapons has been distributed, and the craftsmen say that they can produce samples in three days, but it will take some more time to produce them on a large scale to the level of being ready for battle."

As for the delay, he naturally went to attend Shen Mengxian's birthday.

Gu Rong and Mo Xuanyin both guessed that Shen Mengxian would make trouble on the day of the birthday banquet, after all, there was no better time than the birthday banquet recently. At that time, hundreds of officials of the Lanling Kingdom gathered, and even the generals stationed in the military camps in other places were ordered to go back to participate in Shen Mengxian's birthday banquet, and it was very convenient to coordinate the war.

Gu Xiwu also thought of this, and she couldn't help but sigh when she counted the days: "This time is too hasty, and besides that, the messenger ......"

Speaking of this, Gu Xiwu suddenly paused, and she noticed that Mo Xuanyin's face had become gloomy. Of course, this anger was not aimed at him, but at Shen Mengxian, who was calculating Yunnan thousands of miles away.

"I'm afraid that the reason for the war will be on the messenger, and Lord Zhou will go and never return, and it is not a joke circulating in the court."

Mo Xuanyin thought of what he had just ordered, and couldn't help but call another close attendant, and asked people to increase the reward of the Zhou family by thirty percent.

"He took the initiative to ask Ying to envoy to Lanling Kingdom, thinking that he had already predicted his fate at that time, and the loyal and good generals lost another one."

After saying this, Mo Xuanyin sat beside a few cases in a dull mood and looked at the drawings, hoping that these weapons could be made and distributed to the soldiers as soon as possible.

Gu Xiwu knew that this matter was in a hurry, no matter how skillful the craftsman was, it would always take time to research and produce. She couldn't help, so she could only sit aside, which could be regarded as silent comfort.

However, he said that Gu Ronghe arrived in the territory of Lanling Kingdom, and the minister in charge of receiving them brought him to the post house.

When Gu Ronghe entered the door, he seemed to inadvertently ask the messenger sent by Mo Xuanyin. The minister greeted him with a smile, but when he heard this question, his expression changed slightly, and his words became perfunctory.

Gu Ronghe suddenly felt that something was wrong, and he gave a look to the people around him, making people pay attention to Shen Mengxian's movements.

The envoy sent by Mo Xuanyin lived in a separate post house, and they had already met Shen Mengxian two days earlier than Gu Ronghe. This Lanling national army seems to be very easy to get along with, and the rumors are quite untrue.

Just when the middle and lower classes of the mission were relaxing, and even took the money to the streets and alleys of Lanling Kingdom to purchase special products, the envoy stayed in the house in a dull mood, always feeling that the wind and rain were coming.

Time passed day by day, and soon it was Shen Mengxian's birthday.

The official in charge of the reception came early to inform the people to put on their dresses and go to the palace to meet them. The royal palace of Lanling Kingdom was majestic, and the envoy inquired about it, and learned from the leader that it had been expanded after Shen Mengxian ascended the throne.

This is a great deal of enjoyment, but the envoy has deep experience and can see the ambition of the Lanling monarch from the construction of the palace. Just by looking at the regulation and style of the building, we can get a glimpse of Shen Mengxian's intention to expand the territory.

At this time, thousands of miles away, Mo Xuanyin was inspecting the newly created weapons in the warehouse.

The craftsman followed alongside, pointing to something from time to time to explain.

The craftsman wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "The two thousand new weapons that have been created in this storehouse are also being prepared...... Look at this armor, it is a modified Bright Light Armor, which is the best defense against stray arrows on the battlefield. ”

As soon as Mo Xuanyin stretched out his hand to the side, someone immediately sent a cold and shining blade. He used three points of strength to hit Mingguang Kai, this armor was cleverly unloaded, and the armor made a "bang, bang, bang" sound, and there was no scratch on it.

It wasn't until seven points of strength were used that the armor showed signs of damage.

This is also very rare, Mo Xuanyin nodded with satisfaction, and then ordered: "Let people prepare rich rewards for these craftsmen, but the production of weapons still can't be stopped, and the armor must be built more." ”

The craftsman next to him jumped in his heart, and suddenly had a bad premonition, and he asked in a low voice, "Is this going to war?" But as soon as the words came out, he realized that he had lost his words, and quickly slapped himself, and then bowed his head and was silent.

Mo Xuanyin didn't answer, turned around and returned to the palace.

At the same time, at the birthday banquet of Shen Mengxian of Lanling Kingdom, the envoys of various countries and the ministers of Lanling Kingdom stood up one after another, raised their glasses and said loudly: "I wish the monarch of Lanling Kingdom ......"

Before the birthday speech was finished, someone next to Lord Zhou suddenly took out a short blade, stepped on the table and flew towards Shen Mengxian who was standing on the high platform.

Gu Ronghe, who was sitting opposite, frowned, he didn't expect to see the assassination scene today.

However, Shen Mengxian didn't panic for a moment, and took a step back as if he had expected it, and a waiter with strong martial arts immediately stepped forward to block the assassin. This assassin was also very perfunctory, he was kicked to the ground with three fists and two feet, and the dagger in his hand also fell to the ground and was taken away by the forbidden army.

Shen Mengxian patted the non-existent dust on his sleeve, turned his head to look at the envoy and others sent by Mo Xuanyin, and said, "I kindly sent someone to invite Yunnan, and it was just perfunctory to send a courtier as a messenger, and I even planned an assassination at the birthday banquet!" ”

Lord Zhou was dumbfounded, shouting absurdity in his heart. But when everyone saw that he was able to stand in place by himself, it had already taken all his strength.

He didn't arrange for an assassin at all, and this assassin ...... The performance is so exaggerated, most of it is directed and acted by Shen Mengxian.

Just when Lord Zhou was about to explain, Shen Mengxian gave an order, and someone immediately dragged everyone in the mission down. Just when the mood of the minister of Lanling was high, Shen Mengxian announced that he would send troops to Yunnan.
