Northern Qi, the coast of the East China Sea, before the Southern Dynasty army commander's tent.

Xue Qirui, who followed King Wuling into the Northern Qi Dynasty, and was also the liaison of the dark chess, stood silently in front of the tent in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

At this time, the deputy marshal of the army, Jing'an General Hong Yuan walked over slowly, and said to the commander: "Does the prince have a military order today?" ”

Xue Qirui shook his head: "I haven't heard of it yet." ”

Hong Yuan nodded, glanced deeply at the handsome tent, walked to Xue Qirui's side and asked in a low voice, "Lord Xue is holding a dark chess, is there any news from China?" ”

Xue Qirui glanced at him in surprise and said, "What kind of news does the general want?" ”

Hong Yuan shook his head and said: "Lord Xue, don't think too much, it's the last general who heard that there seems to be a change in the country, you know, the last general's brother is the Admiral of the Nine Gates, if something really happens, he may bear the brunt." ”

Xue Qirui suddenly said: "General, don't worry, as long as the prince does not return to the dynasty for a day, they will not dare to really do it for a day, otherwise even if they succeed in the coup, these hundreds of thousands of troops will be enough to crush them into powder." ”

Hong Yuan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this: "The prince is really not an ordinary person, knowing that those guys are making small moves behind his back, he can still sit firmly on the Diaoyu Tai, and there is no movement at all." ”

Xue Qirui glanced at the handsome tent and sighed, "Who said it wasn't? The saint wants to raise a butcher's knife, but if he changes someone, he is afraid that he will already be an ant on a hot pot, but he can't see that the prince is worried, as if everything is under control. ”

Hearing him say this, Hong Yuan suddenly became interested, and stabbed Xue Qirui with his elbow and said, "Alas, you said that the prince led hundreds of thousands of troops to this deep mountain, and he didn't drive it for several months, what is it for?" ”

Both of them are confidants of King Wuling, and their relationship is usually very good, so Hong Yuan's question is not abrupt.

But Xue Qirui sighed, spread his hands and said, "I also want to know, you ask me, who am I going to ask?" ”

Hong Yuan's bull's eyes were stunned, and he said in astonishment: "You are holding a dark chess, and you don't even know it?" ”

Xue Qirui looked left and right, and when he saw that there was no one else, he lowered his voice and said: "The prince didn't let the dark chess interfere in this matter, and I don't know why, but I heard that the prince sends people into the mountain every day, and I don't know what he is looking for." ”

"Looking for something?"

Hong Yuan frowned: "Hundreds of thousands of people can be used to find something?" ”

Xue Qirui shrugged: "Who knows?" I heard that a lot of people died, but a few days ago someone carried a large box of unknown things into the handsome tent, and the prince has been studying since then, and it seems that there is no result yet. ”

"Oh, I see......"

Hong Yuan nodded suddenly, but after thinking about it, he asked with some concern: "What the prince is looking for must be extraordinary, but our situation is very good this time, whether it is the Northern Qi or the Northern Wei Dynasty, is that thing more important than dominating the world?" ”

Xue Qirui sighed: "Who knows, who can guess the prince's thoughts?" But don't forget the prince's origin......"

As he spoke, Xue Qirui glanced at him meaningfully.

Hong Yuan was stunned for a moment, and exclaimed: "The prince is from Guigumen, what do you mean ......?"

Xue Qirui nodded and said: "Guigu has always been mysterious, and the techniques learned are even more related to gods and ghosts, I heard that Guiguzi's senior brother Lao Tianshi is only one step away from the Heavenly Dao, so I can't say that this step is here!" ”

"What?!"

Hong Yuan exclaimed in surprise, and hurriedly covered his mouth, saying in disbelief: "You mean that what the prince is looking for is something that can make people feather and ascend to immortals?!" ”

"Becoming an immortal and becoming a god, soaring in the day, as long as things related to the prince are always so magical, this was originally just my guess, but even if it is true, there is nothing to be surprised about."

Xue Qirui said lightly.

Hong Yuan nodded, indeed, the three words King Wuling themselves are synonymous with magic, even if someone tells him that the prince is actually an immortal, he will not be the slightest surprised.

As the two were talking, a light cough suddenly came from inside the tent, and the two of them were shocked, and quickly ended the conversation, opened the curtain and walked in.

Among the handsome tents, a boy about ten years old with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes stood quietly, and when the two saw his appearance, they hurriedly bowed respectfully and said, "Xia Guan has seen Tong Xian." ”

A shy look rose on the boy's face, and he hurriedly said: "The two adults don't need to be polite, I'm just a boy who speaks for the prince, and I don't deserve the courtesy of the two adults." ”

Having said that, this boy is the closest person to Wuling, how dare the two of them slack off.

Hong Yuan arched his hand at the boy and said, "The fairy is hard, I don't know if the prince has a military order?" ”

The boy came back to his senses, nodded and nodded: "Oh, yes, I came out of the customs today to pass the word for the prince." ”

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the two suddenly became cautious, their hands clenched into fists, and their heads were lowered, ready to listen to the prince's military orders.

"Ahem......"

The boy cleared his throat and said, "The prince said, things are almost done, you have done a good job, and the people who should have jumped out of the family have also jumped out, now we should go." ”

"Let's go? Where are we going? ”

Hong Yuan is a rough man, and as soon as he heard that he was leaving, he immediately subconsciously asked.

"Hong Yuan!"

When Xue Qirui heard this, he hurriedly glanced at him, and said coldly: "You should also inquire about the prince's affairs?" ”

Hong Yuan was startled, then he came back to his senses, and hurriedly bowed his head and confessed.

"Tong Xian forgive me, he is a rough man, it was an unintentional move, please don't be surprised."

Xue Qirui hurriedly bowed his hand to the boy and pleaded for Hong Yuan.

The boy waved his hand to indicate that it was okay, and said with a smile: "Lord Xue is too cautious, the prince has already spoken first, you are all people he absolutely trusts, you don't have to be cautious everywhere." ”

Xue Qirui shook his head and said: "The prince's trust in us is a grace to us, and it is our duty to be respectful to the prince, and we must not rely on the grace of the prince and forget our duty." ”

Hearing this, the boy nodded and said with a smile: "Lord Xue will always know how to advance and retreat so much, no wonder the prince is so important to you." ”

Xue Qirui hurriedly bowed and said: "Where, where, thank you for the prince's love, the lower officials must do their best, and then die." ”

The boy didn't say anything more, just smiled at him, and turned around behind the screen.

Seeing the boy leave, Xue Qirui finally straightened up and let out a long sigh of relief.

Hong Yuan also straightened up, and said fearfully: "You see that I get carried away when I am excited, so I thank Master Xue for rounding the field for me." ”

Xue Qirui looked at him and shook his head: "You, how deep is the prince's mind, how many times have I told you, the more he trusts you, the more vigilant you will be, otherwise if the prince thinks he believes in the wrong person......"

"I understand, I understand, I'll pay attention next time!"

Hong Yuan was afraid for a while in his heart, and said curtly.

In this way, the two of them walked out of the tent thinking about their own thoughts, and after walking a few steps, Hong Yuan still couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart, and asked Xue Qirui in a low voice: "Lord Xue, where do you think the army will go next?" ”

Xue Qirui shook his head: "I don't know about this, but if you think about it carefully, there are only two places you can go." ”

"Oh, which two places?"

Hong Yuan asked curiously.

Xue Qirui replied: "The first place is naturally to return to China to clean up those who make small moves, but looking at the appearance of the prince, it seems that he didn't take them to heart at all, and the possibility of going back is not very likely." ”

"What about the second place?"

Hong Yuan asked again.

Xue Qirui turned his head, glanced at the shuai tent again, and then said in a deep voice: "Another place is all the way to the north, since the Han Dynasty, the world has been divided for too long, it's time to dominate the world." ”
