Feng Chang said: "I should also sleep, the Queen Mother is delicate, although this way is sitting in the carriage, but it is not like two years ago, slow and leisurely, this time we are marching in a hurry, there is almost no rest in the middle, her body is stiff, it is normal to be unbearable." “

Yin Xuan thought of Nie Qingwan's delicate appearance, his little brows twisted, and he asked as if talking to himself: "The Queen Mother is so smart, why don't you learn some martial arts?" There are many people in the Nie family who are excellent in martial arts, like Nie Yin, like Nie Xifeng, like Nie Buwei, the martial arts of the three of them are excellent, Nie Yin has been serving by the Queen Mother's side, why don't you teach her to learn some martial arts? “

Feng Chang smiled and said: "The Queen Mother has a smart brain, but her hands and feet are clumsy. “

Yin Xuan smiled when he heard this, his hands and feet were stupid.

Clumsy hands and feet.

Thinking of her short arms and legs, Yin Xuan's shoulders trembled lightly when she laughed alone, but why did she feel so cute.

He reached out the hand he had just touched her face and rubbed it against his own.

Obviously he didn't have her breath, but he seemed to smell her.

Yin Xuan was stunned, looked up at the moon and starry sky above his head.

Such a night. Sleeping in someone else's palace, lying on a broken bed, taking the sky as a quilt, unable to sleep, should be extremely tired, but he is relaxed.

Yin Xuan didn't speak for a while.

Feng Chang didn't speak, and hurried to sleep for a while.

At three o'clock, before dawn, day and night alternated, and the horizon emitted a few rays of ray-like light, floating on the still twilight of the steep mountains, and the small palace began to hear one after another.

After waiting for a few hours, Ren Teng finally ran over out of breath, followed by the soldiers of Fengqiu Kingdom, with seven thin men who had been beaten in their hands.

The seven men, all dressed in civilian clothes, had lost their soldiers' clothes, and it was impossible to tell for a moment whether they were the people who had fled from those countries, or whether they were the ones who really set fire to the murder that night.

Feng Chang and Yin Xuan both squinted for a while, relieving their fatigue, and the soldiers who were sitting or lying on the ground also squinted for a few hours, and at this time they were also awakened by the noise around them and the sound of Ren Teng and the soldiers coming over, and they stood up one by one with their weapons and stood solemnly.

The soldiers of the other five countries who were forced to stay up all night also stood up one after another, standing aside cautiously.

Feng Chang called someone to come over and remove the cool bed, waiting for the cool bed to be removed. Yin Xuan and Feng Chang walked towards the seven men who were pressed to the ground.

Before approaching, Yin Xuan glanced down and asked Ren Teng, "Is it the seven of them?" “

Ren Teng said: "Yes." “

Yin Xuan said: "Don't trick me, you can't afford to cheat me." “

Ren Teng trembled and nodded: "Of course, I know, I don't dare to deceive you, everyone had a list when they borrowed troops, I went back to get the list, came over and called the names, and it was these seven people who didn't respond to the name." “

Yin Xuan frowned: "I didn't see you come to the roll call." “

Feng Chang said: "When you went to see the Queen Mother, he did come." “

Yin Xuan sighed, looked at the seven people who were kneeling on the ground and were beaten, and said to Ren Teng, "It's none of your business." Let's go back. “

Ren Teng wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked tentatively, "What about the other soldiers?" “

Yin Xuan said: "It's not your soldiers, what do you care, I'll arrange these soldiers." “

Ren Teng whispered: "But I borrowed these soldiers." “

Yin Xuan sneered: "You love to be the master so much, do you want us to return the territory to you?" “

Ren Teng's frightened face turned white, and he quickly closed his mouth, not daring to say a word, turned his head and hurriedly left.

After Ren Teng left, the soldiers who were pressing seven people also hurriedly pulled out their legs and ran, as if there were evil ghosts chasing after them, and if they didn't leave, they would be killed on the spot.

Feng Chang smiled, reached out and patted Yin Xuan's shoulder, and said, "The Queen Mother confesses, don't be too bloody." “

Yin Xuan said: "I didn't let them see blood. “

Feng Chang said: "I didn't see blood on my face, but I was dripping blood in my heart." “

Yin Xuanwan glanced at him with a smile, but when he looked at the seven people kneeling there, there was no smile in his eyes, no matter whether these seven people were true or false, once they were sent up, there was no chance of survival.

Yin Xuan's sword fell, and the heads of the seven people fell to the ground on the spot, without even shouting pain or cursing, and he went to see Lord Yama in the blink of an eye.

Feng Chang sighed lightly: "I said don't be too bloody." “

Yin Xuan clasped the hilt of the sword, didn't look at the seven people, and whispered: "I'll go to see the Queen Mother, you guard first." “

Feng Chang said: "Go ahead, I'll let people put up their heads." “

Yin Xuan snorted, and walked towards the palace where Nie Qingwan slept last night.

Nie Yin had already woken up and was waiting in the hall, Yin Xuan didn't go in, and heard Ren Ji say that the Queen Mother hadn't gotten up yet, so Yin Xuan stood outside and waited, until dawn, and when it was nearly two o'clock, Nie Qingwan packed up and came out, and when she saw him, she said, "I have something to say." “

Yin Xuan walked in.

Nie Qingwan asked Ren Ji to pass the meal, and then took Yin Xuan to sit in the hall of the front hall, Nie Yin went to make a pot of tea and poured it for Nie Qingwan and Yin Xuan to drink.

Yin Xuan looked at Nie Qingwan and didn't move the cup.

He saw that the tired look of yesterday was lost between her eyebrows, and his heart was relieved.

Thinking of the way she slept last night, a smile appeared on her face.

I was about to raise my hand to take a sip of water from my cup, but as soon as my hand stretched out, I thought of the scene of touching her face last night, and the smooth and tender feeling on her face that still existed on my fingertips, and I was stunned for a while.

Nie Qingwan didn't pay attention to his subtle changes in expression and movements, she drank a few sips of water, cleared her throat, looked up at him, and asked, "Did you find out what happened last night?" “

Yin Xuan slowly curled his fingers, lowered his long eyelashes, and whispered, "Hmm." “

He told the details of Ren Teng's interrogation yesterday, and also said which five countries Ren Teng borrowed soldiers and how many soldiers he borrowed, and the person who set the fire last night was one of the soldiers of these five countries, and now he has been arrested and beheaded by him.

Nie Qingwan didn't react after hearing this, and only said, "Just don't kill the wrong person." “

Yin Xuan said: "I won't kill wrong, although Ren Teng is a little cowardly, he is a good king, he will not take the lives of his own people to atone for his crimes, those seven people are definitely the ones who set fire last night and wanted to escape." “

Nie Qingwan nodded: "That's right." “

Yin Xuan said: "I want to borrow the heads of these seven people to attract the kings of the seven kingdoms to meet. When they come, we will secretly send troops to take the territory of the seven kingdoms, if they have the heart to disrespect you, they will definitely come, but when they come, they are afraid that something will happen, they will inevitably plan a perfect plan to achieve the goal of catching turtles in the urn. “

Nie Qingwan raised her eyebrows and asked with a smile, "What if they don't come?" “

Yin Xuan said: "It will definitely come, such a good opportunity, how could they miss it, since you led the troops to occupy the Fengqiu country, aren't you conveying an irreversible attitude to these small countries?" You want to conquer their territory, you want to abolish their kings, anyway, whether you sit back and wait or send troops to meet them, the consequences are war, then it is better to sit and die than to die in battle, because there is still hope after the war, and there is no hope in waiting, even if these small countries are small, but the monarchs are not stupid and brainless people, even if there are really stupid and brainless people, they will be selected by smart people, so if they come this time, it will be the beginning of the war. “

Nie Qingwan gently turned the blue and white porcelain cup in her hand, the texture was not very good, but it was not very rough, shaped like a bowl, without ear handles, she turned it for a while, then gently put it down, looked at Yin Xuan, and said, "You want to take the initiative to lead them to war?" “

Yin Xuan said: "Well, now that our morale is high and the granary is full. “

Nie Qingwan pondered for a while, did not reply directly, but raised her head, looked at Nie Yin, and said to her, "Find this calendar, I'll take a look." “

Nie Yin didn't know what she was doing looking at the calendar at this time, but she still went to find a copy according to her words.

When the calendar was on the table, Nie Qingwan looked down.

Yin Xuan looked at her, probably guessing what she was looking for, she was looking for an opportunity in the calendar, an opportunity to win, this opportunity was excellent for the Seven Kingdoms, and it was also excellent for them.

And this opportunity is none other than the locust outbreak in the country of Toyooka every June.

Victory in a war depends on the strength of soldiers.

Everybody thinks so.

There's nothing wrong with that.

But for their current situation, the strength of the soldiers is of course very important, but the support of the people of Toyooka is also very important, and if these people of Toyogaoka rebel because of the war, the soldiers of Dayin will be overstretched.

The Queen Mother really wants to conquer these small countries, but she obviously has the heart of slaughter but she has to do everything in benevolence, you say she is evil, she is also evil, you say she is bad, she is also bad, but you say she is hypocritical, she is also hypocritical enough, war, how can there be such a thing as the best of both worlds, the advantage is taken advantage of by you, and the reputation is also taken by you. Is it possible?

Impossible.

But the Queen Mother wants to take advantage of all the good things.

She wants both territory and fame.

What excuse is she going out to soldier? The prince of Da Yin went to ask the emperor to get a sword, but was assassinated by the small countries, and the queen mother went to see the prince and was ambushed on the way back.

It's not that she wants to send troops, it's you who forced me to send troops.

Look at how justified and sufficient the reasons are, and how much they can win the hearts of the people.

And this time when she occupied Fengqiu, the people were so peaceful, because when she entered the city, she strictly ordered all the soldiers not to harm anyone, not only the unarmed people, but also those soldiers who drew their swords against them.

This act is enough to show goodwill to the entire people of Toyogaoka.

She rushed to Fengqiu yesterday tiredly, and without even having time to squint, she summoned everyone to discuss the matter of locust service, which was nothing more than for the people of Fengqiu to see.

She was telling them that she had come to help them with locust labor, not to kill them.

The people of Fengqiu are deeply affected by locusts, and when someone comes to help them solve this great insect infestation, they will only be grateful, and they will complain.

In this way, the people's hearts are restored.

And she looked at the calendar, which was nothing more than the best time to analyze the appearance of locusts, and use this opportunity to let the people of Fengqiu Kingdom defend her and the soldiers of Dayin, so that in the face of foreign invasion, they could win almost without wasting their efforts.

And if she takes his advice, then at that time, once the monarch of the Seven Kingdoms leads his troops into the city, most of the soldiers of Da Yin will disperse from Fengqiu to attack the Seven Kingdoms, so that there will be fewer soldiers in the country, and even fewer can protect her.

Therefore, she wants to use the soldiers and people of Fengqiu Kingdom to protect herself.

Sometimes Yin Xuanzhen has to admire the insidious mind of this queen mother, she is so young, why is she so weird, she still has it when she grows up?

Yin Xuan looked at the girl opposite in silence, seeing that her serious little face was engraved with the majesty of the Queen Mother, while flipping through the calendar, frowning and thinking deeply, and then thinking of the delicate and silly appearance she slept with yesterday, he couldn't help but laugh again.

If she loses the skin of the queen mother's robe, she must be a very naughty and very smart girl. When you are delicate, you can't put it down, when you are stupid, you can't help laughing, and when you do bad things...... I'd love to get someone punched.

Yin Xuan's thoughts were scattered when he thought about it, and he fantasized about a naughty, cute, naughty, sometimes delicate, sometimes silly, sometimes treacherous 'bad' girl image, and then couldn't help laughing.

Nie Qingwan was busy looking at the calendar and calculating the timer, where did she know what Yin Xuan was doing.

Although Yin Xuan smiled, he didn't make a sound, but the corners of his mouth and the tips of his eyes unfolded, even Nie Yin, and all his attention was on Nie Qingwan and the calendar in her hand, and he didn't pay attention to Yin Xuan.

Yin Xuan sat there alone, looking at the girl opposite. The brain fills up all kinds of pictures.

Before he could calculate that this year's Fengqiu locust army might break out, Ren Ji came over and asked Nie Qingwan if he would bring breakfast here to eat, Nie Qingwan didn't want to move, so he said to eat here, so Ren Ji went out again and notified the kitchen to bring breakfast over.

When it was set, Ren Ji and Nie Yin wanted to serve her, but she didn't let them go down to eat.

Ren Ji and Nie Yin didn't refuse, now they are not in Dayin, they have to face war all the time, so some rules don't have to be so much.

The two went down to eat.

Nie Qingwan and Yin Xuan sat at a table to eat.

After eating for a while, Yin Xuan asked her, "What do you do by looking at the calendar." “

He actually knew, but he still wanted to ask, he wanted to talk to her.

Nie Qingwan said: "Look at the time when locust service is likely to appear. “

Yin Xuan asked, "Do you see it?" “

Nie Qingwan frowned slightly, shook her head and said, "Not yet, but I estimate that it will be at the end of the month, but the specific time is not decided." “

Yin Xuan said: "Just know the approximate time, it doesn't have to be a specific time, do you want to use locust service to start this war?" “

Nie Qingwan said, "Hmm. “

Yin Xuan said: "After eating, we can discuss it together, put all the things such as locust service and war and sending troops together, if you want to use the people of Fengqiu Country, as well as the ministers and soldiers, it is best to call Ren Teng too." “

Nie Qingwan said, "Yes." “

Yin Xuan smiled and took out a pair of clean chopsticks. He put several chopsticks and chicken in her bowl, and when he saw her eat, he smiled and gave her a few chopsticks and dishes before eating his own.

At the end of breakfast time, Nie Qingwan announced that the other five people came to the palace to discuss matters, and when Feng Chang went, he also brought the heads of the seven people, but the heads were packed in a box, and the blood was also disposed of, and it did not flow out, so it would not stain the eyes of the Queen Mother.

What happened in the palace yesterday spread early in the morning, even if it didn't spread, Feng Chang sent Qi Yu to the city gate last night to question, and Yin Tianye also knew.

Today's shift, Yin Tianye also said it to Nie Buwei, so Nie Buwei also knew.

And Chen Wenqi and Nie Xifeng led the troops to garrison the entire Fengqiu, and they had heard about it.

After being summoned, several people looked at Nie Qingwan and asked her if she was okay.

In fact, it can be seen to the naked eye that she is fine, she is sitting there, as usual, petite and tender, but full of the majesty of the Queen Mother, which makes people dare not force her.

But although I knew that she was fine, I couldn't help but care.

After telling a few generals about the events of last night, including the matter of these seven heads, Nie Qingwan asked Yin Xuan to send someone to pass on Ren Teng.

Wait for Ren Teng to come. Nie Qingwan asked all the generals to sit down.

Ren Teng didn't dare to sit at first, but later sat tremblingly under Nie Qingwan's signal.

At first, I sat very unsteadily, but then I became steady.

He found that this little queen mother was quite big-hearted, and discussed the combat strategy with his henchmen and generals, and did not shy away from him, of course, he also understood why the little queen mother called him, because there was also a place for him in the combat strategy.

At this time, Ren Teng suddenly realized that he was not a defeated soldier under the little queen mother, nor a piece of mud under her feet, he was not a king in her heart, and he was no longer the king of Fengqiu in her eyes, but he was an indispensable car in her chessboard, and his people were those pawns, her soldiers were cannons, and the generals were handsome, and she was just a person behind the scenes, she handed over the battle to them, and also handed it over to him.

Ren Teng raised his head and looked at the girl above the side, and for a while, Ren Teng surrendered willingly.

It is not her force that surrenders, but her sea and trust.

Ren Teng lowered his eyes and listened carefully to the discussion between her, the crown prince and the other five generals, not letting go of a single detail.

In fact, the battle strategy is not complicated, first send the heads of these seven people to their respective countries, directly to the kings of their countries, in the name of these seven people arson to kill the queen mother at night, let the monarchs of these five countries come to see, the last time Nie Qingwan also used this method to wait for the monarchs of those small countries at the ceremony of Yin Xuan's canonization of the crown prince, but she didn't wait, because they didn't have a living handle in their hands at that time, but now they have, so the monarchs of these five countries will definitely come.

If they come, they will be as Yin Xuan guessed, they will not just come to the door to die dryly, they will definitely join forces, and even join other countries to besiege and kill Fengqiu, in order to achieve the goal of getting rid of the Empress Dowager and the crown prince, so Nie Qingwan emphasized Ren Teng and asked him to guard his people and use this locust campaign.

How to use locust service is very simple, lead the battlefield to the place where locust service breaks out.

As for how to lead, this should be something that the people of Fengqiu are very good at, they have been dealing with these locusts for many years, and they should also have some unique secret methods.

And when the kings of the five countries come, the five countries will be empty, and there is no need to think about it, they will definitely be empty.

It just so happened that they had six generals. Leave one person in the city, and the other five lead the troops to secretly attack, it is possible that the five countries will also be on guard, and borrow soldiers from other countries to defend the city, so this war looks simple, but it is not simple, if you want to win, you must be fully prepared.

And who to keep in the city, the six of them argued for a long time, Yin Xuan wanted to stay and personally protect Nie Qingwan. The other five generals also wanted to stay and personally protect Nie Qingwan, but Nie Qingwan named and left Feng Chang.

The five of them all turned their heads to look at Feng Chang, a little jealous.

Yin Xuan was even more congested, why didn't he let him stay? Isn't it good for him to protect her personally?

Nie Qingwan left Feng Chang because Feng Chang had a lot of experience in marching and fighting, and he didn't need to rely on a few small battles today to learn, she took Yin Xuan, Yin Tianye, Nie Xifeng, Nie Buwei, and Chen Wen to cut out, not to let them defend the city, but to let them attack, let them go to the battlefield that they really appreciated, this battle looked a little dangerous. But it's not dangerous, as long as you're a little smarter, you won't have a problem, so take this little battle to practice for them.

After making a plan, Yin Xuan sent fourteen people to send the heads of these seven people back to China, and each head had two people to escort, one was a Fengqiu soldier and the other was a Da Yin soldier.

It is possible that if you go, you will not be able to come back, so the two soldiers selected are dead soldiers and are willing to die.

Of course, after their deaths. Their families will receive the most generous subsidies.

Of course, it is also possible that they will not die.

But you can't have a fluke mentality, Yin Xuan has done the worst plan to do.

Fourteen people went, and they really didn't come back, but the letters from the kings of the five countries arrived, all of them said that they did not convey this kind of order to these soldiers, and hoped that the Queen Mother would know it, and said that they would definitely go to the Queen Mother to personally make amends and ask the Queen Mother for forgiveness, which was actually a high-sounding official language.

He said that he would make amends, but he did not specify a date.

Nie Qingwan calmly replied to the monarchs of the five countries, and said: "There is nothing in this palace, and you don't use it, I want to send people back to you to tell you that this palace can't tolerate those little ghosts who are secretly haunting, it is not your order, it is a misunderstanding, and their lives should be sacrificed to that fire, if you are uneasy and want to come to make amends, come later, you and Fengqiu are neighbors, and they are also friends, you should know that Fengqiu will have an outbreak of locusts in the near future, and people are panicking, I'm afraid that our soldiers in Da Yin will also be affected by this, and they are too busy to clone themselves, and when the time comes, this palace may not have time to take care of you, so come back in mid to late July. “

As soon as this letter reached the hands of the monarchs of the five countries, Nan Linfeng smiled, is it a trap or a trap?

The latter words are really hard to guess.

Nan Linfeng naturally knew that the locust service of Fengqiu Country was coming, and at that time, the entire Fengqiu would be in chaos, and there was really no time to deal with the war in the outside world.

Why did the Queen Mother mention such an obvious thing?

The left wing of the soldiers who secretly peeped into all the small countries and the Great Yin reported this information to his king, and then the left wing got the orders of the king of his family and went to see Nan Linfeng, and then Nan Linfeng secretly sent a letter to the kings of the other four countries, and secretly discussed the matter, and on June 23, the kings of the five countries only brought a few guards, and set off from their own country to Fengqiu to make amends to the queen mother.
