Now, the people sent by Dugu Yin to Nanban have never brought the news back, but even so, he has no intention of relaxing his vigilance at all, but has become more and more rigorous and serious, and it is bound to understand these situations thoroughly.

Moreover, Dugu Yin knows very well that Hui Shangyi's power is strong, and he has experienced so many things and is still able to have enough weight in the Shengguo court, which also shows that Hui Shangyi is indeed an existence that should not be underestimated.

If you relax your vigilance, I am afraid that it will backfire and let yourself fall into the trap of Hui Shangyi, and there is no possibility of survival, or even be unloaded by Hui Shangyi.

Dugu Yin sat on the soft couch, raised his eyes and glanced at the robed man in front of him who was saluting respectfully, and said unhurriedly, "Yu Zhuoqi, General Ben previously ordered you to send someone to secretly stare at Xiao Li and Hui Shangyi, how is it going now?" ”

Yu Zhuoqi bowed slightly, 1510 of the situation, "The subordinates did secretly send people to follow Hui Shangyi, Xiao Li and others, but since Xiao Li died in prison inexplicably, until now, the people sent out by the subordinates have not found anything abnormal, as if Xiao Li is really no longer there." ”

At this time, Yu Zhuoqi couldn't help frowning.

This incident is indeed unpredictable for Yu Zhuoqi, he can't guess the reason, and it is rare to feel a headache for this matter.

Although Dugu Yin did not know the situation in Nanban, according to the current situation, he couldn't wait to start preparing for the war with the Sheng Kingdom.

Dugu Yin, who was sitting upright, heard this, just raised his hand and touched his chin, and after thinking calmly for a moment, he opened his mouth unhurriedly and ordered, "Yu Zhuoqi, you will continue to send people to secretly stare at the traces of Hui Shangyi and the others." ”

In any case, Hui Shangyi could not let go of Xiao Li's death so easily, Dugu Yin felt that Hui Shangyi was very likely to investigate secretly, if not, there was only one thing that could be explained - Xiao Li was not dead at all.

After getting Duguyin's order, Yu Zhuoqi nodded directly and responded, "Subordinates obey orders." ”

The war in Shengguo is critical, and in order to avoid any mistakes, Duguyin has always been personally in battle.

And the two soldiers and ministers around him, Yu Zhuoqi and Zong Jiangman, are also well-known for their loyalty and ability, I'm afraid there will be no one who doesn't know about it.

Moreover, Dugu Yin himself is a brave and fearless lord, and most of all beings in the world have understood this Dugu Yin's vicious mind.

"General, do you want to go alone to participate in the war with the Shengguo?"

At this time, Yu Zhuoqi paused for a moment, secretly observing Dugu Yin.

Yu Zhuoqi and Zong Jiangman are indeed Dugu Yin's right-hand men, if the two of them are missing in the war, it will be a little difficult for Dugu Yin to win.

But even so, Dugu Yin replied without the slightest hesitation, "Yu Zhuoqi, have you forgotten Xiao Wanyin?" ”

Dugu Yin has always trusted Yu Zhuoqi, after all, if there is no Yu Zhuoqi, I am afraid he will not always stand in today's position, so for the questions raised by Yu Zhuoqi, Dugu Yin has nothing to hide.

"Xiao Wanyin? The subordinates did have some impressions of this woman. ”

After that, Yu Zhuoqi thought about it for a while, and Xiao Wanyin's appearance seemed to have appeared in front of her, she was indeed born very well, but she was extremely thoughtful, but she was afraid that if she had too much contact with her, she would be firmly controlled by this person.

As soon as Yu Zhuoqi's words fell, he heard Hui Shangyi say to himself, "Earlier, she prepared a defense map for me on the border of the Sheng Kingdom, and with this defense map, the soldiers of the Sheng Kingdom naturally could not be the opponents of this general." ”

In the extremely poor land on the border of the Sheng Kingdom, the Wu clan and Hui Yuzhong worked hard day and night to guard the city gate.

But he never thought that Dugu Yin would suddenly come to attack the city gate with many soldiers.

The Wu clan and his party were not fully prepared, and it was inevitable that they had suffered a lot, and the soldiers under their hands suffered heavy losses.

After three days of continuous fighting, the Huijia army ended in defeat.

The Wu clan has always had a tacit understanding with the women's army, if they still follow their side to face the enemy together, let alone tens of thousands of elite soldiers, I am afraid that there will be double the enemy army, and the Wu clan will not have any fearful thoughts.

When the war was critical, the Huijia army was defeated one after another, and the morale of the army was inevitably frustrated.

In order to avoid continuing to lose the battle, the Wu clan could only retreat from the border with Hui Yuzhong and the Hui family army and return to the capital to clarify the battle situation.

On the court, the emperor sat on the dragon chair and watched coldly, while the Wu family and Hui Yuzhong knelt in the main hall as criminal ministers, and the surrounding officials secretly discussed a lot, for fear of making the emperor unhappy, and deliberately lowered their voices.

The words of these people were not real, Wu only felt that the wind was complicated, she frowned tightly, did not control the words of those people anymore, and remained silent with a calm face.

"Hui Aiqing, Wu Aiqing, I heard that this border battle was a fiasco, I don't know if there is anything you want to explain?"

In any case, Wu and Hui Yuzhong are both important ministers in the court, and they have always been the protectors of the family and the country for many years, even if there is no merit, there is hard work.

No matter how ruthless and unrighteous the emperor is, it is absolutely impossible to blame the two of them for their crimes.

If this is the case, I am afraid that it will hurt the hearts of more courtiers in the court.

Hui Yuzhong was about to open her mouth to make some generous and powerful words, but she didn't want to, she was preempted by the Wu family, she lowered her eyes and respectfully clenched her fists, "Your Majesty, this time it is indeed the fault of Weichen, and I ask the emperor to punish you." ”

Who in the court doesn't know that the Wu family used to trust the most was the Women's Army.

But since the Women's Army was forced to disband, the Wu clan has become increasingly depressed.

The Women's Army has been with the Wu clan for so long, and it has long been equivalent to the right hand of the Wu clan, which not only unloaded her backbone strength, but also lost and retreated in the battle with Dugu Yin, which is also something that everyone expected.

Hearing this, the emperor didn't talk about it, but it was the courtiers in the court who spoke.

He was old, moved his steps, walked slowly to the middle of the hall, saluted respectfully to the emperor on the dragon chair, and then said slowly, "Your Majesty, according to Weichen, in the past, the brave and warlike General Wu and General Hui were beaten by a Dugu Yin to the extreme, I am afraid that there is something hidden in this, you might as well let these two generals talk to all of us, what is the reason for this, which will lead to the defeat and retreat of the battle." ”

Although the squire of the Ministry of Rites did not mean to target the Wu clan and Hui Yuzhong from beginning to end, and his words were sincere, how could someone who could mix in the court be so simple?

The implication of his words was to make the emperor think that the Wu clan and Hui Yuzhong deliberately wanted to defeat the battle, after all, the Wu clan had a lot of military achievements, and their strength should not be so unsightly.

Clear-eyed people know that the most direct reason for the defeat of the Wu clan is the Women's Army.

The Women's Army was originally disbanded under the emperor's disguised persecution, if the Wu family rashly mentioned the Women's Army, not only would they not get any benefits, but they might even be punished by the emperor, but if they didn't say the cause and effect, I was afraid that this person would forcibly give the Wu family and Hui Yuzhong the name of disloyalty.

Originally, when the Hui family was dominant in the court, many people wanted to have something to do with the Hui family, in order to be able to enter the emperor's eyes, but now that the Hui family is in trouble, no one has ever been willing to stand up and help, but they really responded to that sentence.

The tiger fell in Pingyang and was bullied by dogs.

The sixth prince stood in the dark and sneered, completely despying the Wu family and Hui Yuzhong.

Just when this stalemate was stalemate, the emperor waved his hand lightly, signaling the Wu family and Hui Yuzhong to get up, and then he continued slowly, "Wu Aiqing and Hui Aiqing have been busy for the imperial court for many years, and they have been meticulous for many years. ”

Such a relaxed sentence erased all the credit of the Wu family and Hui Yuzhong's repeated victories over the years, but instead became the emperor's benevolent house, and he didn't care about them.

Wu clenched his fists tightly, but his face remained calm and composed.

"For the sake of so many years of hard work, you might as well make the Hui family a marquis family, and you can pass on the title from generation to generation."

After that, the emperor didn't give them another chance to talk, but just waved his hand to signal his retreat.

Back to the Hui family, Hui Yuzhong immediately fainted angrily, he worked for the court for most of his life, but he was so humiliated by the emperor, in front of all the courtiers in the court, he was given such a hereditary title.

Seeing this, the Wu family didn't care about anything at all, and went to call the maid to find the imperial doctor in a panic.

Looking at Hui Yuzhong who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed and still frowning, Wu couldn't help but sigh lightly, she also wanted to save face for Hui Yuzhong, but according to the current situation, I was afraid that the emperor would never reuse them again.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, the hereditary official title is a very fortunate and honorable thing, but for Hui Yuzhong, who was born as a military general, he hopes to win a good reputation through his years of hard work.

It's not that you rely on this name for a lifetime and do nothing.

The imperial doctor came to see Hui Yuzhong, only to find out that Hui Yuzhong had a stroke because of grief in his heart.

"General Wu, General Hui, he is ...... He's having a stroke of anger. ”

The imperial doctor shook his head helplessly, although he understood the situation of the Wu clan and Hui Yuzhong, he couldn't be too enthusiastic, lest this matter reach the ears of the six princes, and eventually affect more innocent people.

Thinking of this, the imperial doctor only prescribed a few prescriptions to Hui Yuzhong and left in a hurry.
