After the wedding, the envoys returned to the vassal kingdom one after another.

A group of people in Loulan did not stay for long, avoiding suspicion, and walked faster than anyone else. Before leaving, he gave Luo Licheng a look, which was meaningful.

Don't live, the hot wheel vomits.

Xia Zhixue was paralyzed on the collapse, with ice cubes filled with wooden basins beside her, and the white mist floated up, but it couldn't relieve the heat.

Ouyang Huaiyu came back from fetching water and looked at Xia Zhixue's appearance.

"It's hot?" He put down the basin and walked to help Xia Zhixue up, "Lying down all day is not good for your health." ”

"It's hot, and it's a little uncomfortable."

Xia Zhixue stretched out her hand to probe her body temperature, some hot hands were burning hot, not much different from the temperature outside.

The uncomfortable sentence made Ouyang Huaiyu purse his lips.

"I'll go get you a doctor, I think you're suffering from heat stroke." As he spoke, he put a towel dipped in water on Xia Zhixue's forehead, which was cold and refreshing.

Xia Zhixue's face turned red, she reached out and pinched the corner of the towel, a little cool but infinitely warm.

The doctor was found by Ouyang Huaiyu and gave her a preliminary diagnosis, it was heat stroke and some fever, and she had to stay in bed to recuperate.

For a few days, Ouyang Huaiyu's eyes were as gentle as being able to turn boiling water, and his movements were also gentle.

The border pass is gradually not as stable as before.

The barbarians from the north attacked on horseback.

Each of them wore armor woven from rattan soaked in water, and his head was covered with animal leather, which was also extremely strong and tough after drying in the scorching sun.

The weapons are not advanced compared to the country, and the bows and arrows made of tree branches seem to be rough, but when paired with arrows with sharp arrows, they appear sharp, and a hundred steps through the poplar can take off a head with one arrow.

The barbarians' attack was small, but it was ruthless.

One by one, the barbarians who went to the battlefield seemed to be dying, and when they saw the soldiers in the place, they drew the arrows behind them.

There was one who had seven or eight cuts on his body, and he didn't care about the blood, and one threw himself down and knocked a soldier to the ground, and the two jumped into the moat together.

Things like this are not uncommon, their purpose is simple, they can kill one by one.

The barbarian attack had become a major concern for the emperor.

The barbarians of the north, as their name suggests, have no brute force and no brains. The clan's gangs are more than enough to keep them busy, not to mention the rest.

Annoyed with thinking about it, the emperor called Ouyang Huaiyu over, and he knew that Nineteen had always been very smart.

"Are the barbarians attacking?"

Ouyang Huaiyu frowned after listening to the emperor's words.

The barbarian's action this time was big enough, as if he wanted to move seriously.

"Yes, I've been bothered by this for a long time." The emperor pinched his eyebrows, "It stands to reason that barbarians would not have such careful thinking, but this time they really did it, maybe I was careless." ”

In the past few years, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the prosperous scene of wealth and prosperity gradually blindfolded the emperor's eyes, and unconsciously, the crisis quietly came.

"What part of their offense is going on now?" Ouyang Huaiyu asked, thinking about all the possibilities of this matter.

Some unorganized stragglers will not have the idea of rebelling against the central government, unless they are lured by others or deceived by some rhetoric.

Barbarians are pure and deceitful, and nine times out of ten.

The emperor opened a letter, handed it to Ouyang Huaiyu, and said, "At present, it is only in the stage of harassing the border line, and the action is not big but it is already a certain threat. "Parkway

Ouyang Huaiyu took a cursory glance.

It was a report from the frontier general, asking the imperial court to increase the number of troops.

The barbarians' offensive is becoming more and more fierce day by day, from the initial temptation to the current unreserved, there are not many people, but the strength is great.

The soldiers guarding the frontier were not forced to crush by the barbarians more than once, and the original high morale gradually became very low.

Most of the manpower has also been lost, and it can still make do with the barbarians, but it is not as good as the previous one.

But the barbarians don't have the slightest concern of this kind, they have a steady stream of manpower, and they will make up for the dead ones.

After such a battle, not to mention anything else, the result is already predictable.

"What are you going to do about this matter, brother?" Ouyang Huaiyu folded the music together, and there was little embarrassment on his face.

The emperor shook his head: "I don't know, the war on the frontier is really tight, according to this momentum, those cities will definitely be breached, no matter how you act, it is necessary to assign a general to go." ”

The more the morale of the army is broken, the more it needs someone to stabilize the morale of the army, otherwise the army will be defeated before a battle has started.

"Yes." Ouyang Huaiyu nodded, and didn't discuss this issue much, "Which feudal state is guarding the frontier?" ”

The vassal state was semi-subordinate to the vassal state, and the vassal state was obliged to protect its own interests, and the vassal state was also required to respect the independence of the vassal state.

Such a relationship has been maintained for hundreds of years, from the ancestors to the present, but now it has gone wrong.

"Loulan and Qiuzi are together." After thinking for a while, the emperor said the names of the two vassal states.

"If it's really ......," the smile on the corner of Ouyang Huaiyu's mouth was cold.

Loulan is the mastermind of the rebellion, Gui Zi is next to the mastermind, some things are known first, and those who agree must be the earliest.

If his guess is correct, Guizi also has the intention of rebellion.

There are too many forces involved in the rebellion from beginning to end, and it is not appropriate to startle the snake and swallow the anger.

The emperor's temper was a little dry, and he categorically couldn't let him know.

Ouyang Huaiyu subconsciously prepared to conceal it.

"Have you sent someone to communicate and contact the two countries?" Ouyang Huaiyu just asked vaguely.

"There is a connection, and they also symbolically send some troops. Judging from the information sent from the front, most of the troops they dispatched were young, especially young, and it was a rare occurrence that there were one or two in a team. There was some solemnity in the emperor's words.

The perfunctory attitude of Loulan and Qiuzi can still be seen by anyone, not to mention the number of troops, the quality alone can make people angry for a while.

"The envoy who went to Loulan didn't even see the emperor of Loulan this time, and he was greeted by only a regent, what is Wanyan Sina, he is an eye."

The emperor paused and added that there were too many doubts in a meeting with Emperor Loulan.

Ouyang Huaiyu remembered that when he went to Loulan that time, a mysterious person spoke to a Loulan person, and he was called the regent.

It was a coincidence.

Or that mysterious person is Luo Licheng, his rebellion plan has been in the eye for a long time, and it has not been revealed to the world until now.

In that case, where is the real emperor of Loulan?

Doubts surfaced one by one, and Ouyang Huaiyu's heart received a subversive impact.

Intrigues and events emerged from his mind, and gradually became a net under the control of his mind, and he could not linger in his mind.

Loulan is a different picture.

The spacious streets are full of people hawking, and there is an endless stream of customers from all over the world, as if in peacetime, undisturbed by frontier wars.
