"What are you thinking?" Meng Yining rode a white horse and looked at Gu Zi'an, his eyes seemed to have looked at his hometown through the heavy clouds.

"I have a bad premonition." He shook his head.

"What hunch?" Meng Yining heard every word he said completely, but he didn't know what it meant. She rolled her eyes and immediately thought: "You say, Zhao Erze's soldiers and horses?" Or is it what Zhao Chai is doing now in the sun to welcome you back to China...... Get ready? ”

As soon as these words came out, Gu Zi'an's expression was solemn: "You also noticed that something was wrong." ”

Gu Zi'an muttered: "Zhao Erze led 10,000 soldiers and horses to leave Yangshang, where are they going?" If it is to set up an ambush around the sun, it is too early. Moreover, they will not be enemies of Great Xia, which General Gai represents. And...... They didn't know that we were going to Lingfeng Mountain first and then to Yangshang, not to mention that we were already ready for war. I haven't seen you for eight years, and I can't think of myself as a fool who has thrown myself into the net......"

Meng Yining laughed out loud when he heard him make fun of himself like this. She thought about it carefully, but found something unreasonable: "Now there are three choices in front of Queen Zhao. The first is to send 20,000 troops to annihilate our 8,000 people, but they will be enemies of King Xia; However, they can also choose to kill you only, let General Gai go, and leave a way back for themselves. Anyway, as soon as you die, he can become the king of Beiyang, and the second way, Queen Zhao let her son Gu Chongwu take the lead in claiming the king, and from then on she can justifiably crusade against you, but the king must also take into account the public opinion laid down by Zhang Ji before leaving. If he doesn't want to provoke Da Xia, and he wants to kill you without worry, there is also a dangerous path......" She lowered her eyes and thought for a moment.

"It can't be, what we planted before is going to come true, right? It's just not Yan Rong...... It's a backyard fire! She wasn't sure. The Zhao family seems to be bound to get the throne, and they don't hesitate to do anything about how many corpses they have under their feet. Thinking about it this way, if they united with Queen Zhao for the throne of Beiyang, it was really possible to put Gu Chongwu on the throne. It's just that in this way, King Xia and Jing Chi are in danger.

Gu Zi'an looked back in Chengping's direction, "If Jing Zheng ascends to the throne, our situation will be even worse. ”

If Jing Zheng wants to rebel, 10,000 soldiers and horses are not only the sincerity of Beiyang for him, but also enough to surprise the capital. In addition, the remaining soldiers and horses in Jing Zheng's hands have not been recovered...... Thinking of this, Meng Yining shuddered. "No matter what, we have to make a lot of preparations, and it's better to keep an eye on it than to catch a blind eye."

Le Yi saw the sneaky chat between the two people in front of him, and stepped forward, "What are you talking about, the gods are mysterious." ”

Zhi Duoxing is so excited, but like a child, sitting on Le Yi's shoulder, shaking his head, looking at the two of them with dark and bright eyes.

Meng Yining looked back at Hongxi, the little insect walking hand in hand, and his younger brother Hongyue, cleared his throat, and asked in a low voice, "What do you think of Hongyue?" ”

"It's very good, clever and smart, if you choose a day to cultivate, you are a talent." Le Yi was puzzled.

"I'm still young, I'm only eight years old......" Gu Zi'an said.

"What are you two playing dumb riddles?" Le Yi muttered with a sour taste in his heart.

He looked into the distance, but he didn't know that there seemed to be a raging fire burning in Meng Yining's eyes. In the sunset, her back is so small, but she is upright. Chengping, where they don't want to go back, it's very likely that she will rush back with iron horses and silver guns. Unlike eight years ago, she walked through the tall gate with her head held high.

——————

In the dead of night, the cold moon is like frost.

Jing Zheng was wearing a sable coat, standing in the Zhou Mansion with vermilion walls and green tiles, with a fierce look on his face, how could he have suffered such a grievance now? Although Jing Zheng has never been a son, he has been deeply loved by his grandfather and father Wang Jingcheng since he was a child. He is handsome, straight, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a strong physique, and extraordinary strength. When he grew older, he also learned a lot of books of scripture and history, especially good at riding horses and archery. On top of the horse, he can carry two bows and arrows, and shoot left and right.

After becoming an adult, he was canonized as King Lian, with a thousand households, and the scenery was unique for a while. Later, he was appointed as a mighty general to lead troops to garrison the frontier for two years, and the Daxia frontier was also safe. Originally, the position of the son of the world was like a bag to get something, but who knew that Jingchi, who was weak and weak, was cheapened halfway. Jing Zheng thought in his heart, and became more and more angry: "What does my father mean, is it possible that I am not as good as the weak King Rui?" ”

"Don't worry, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years." Zhou Binzhao, the father of his mother's concubine, sat on the side, brushing his beard.

When Jing Zheng heard his slow voice, he was angry, and frowned: "What is it like now?" I didn't want to go to the frontier at the beginning, but you said that was the time to prove yourself, and when you came back, maybe the position of the prince was mine? I endured humiliation for a few years, but how did I get back here but it was in the hands of someone else. My father is suspicious of me now, and he will definitely take back my military power in the future! Why should I be an idle prince! ”

Jing Zheng roared, without any grace. Zhou Bin held the teacup and trembled slightly, and then said, "Your Majesty has thought too much. Suddenly, his eyes turned to reveal a hint of gloom: "Your mother told me yesterday that His Majesty has not seen her for ten days. And yesterday he summoned me and mentioned that he would go home to the old man and let Xian and so on. In this way, for the Zhou family and your Majesty have decided to give up ......," Zhou Bin sighed sullenly. But in the place where Jing Zheng couldn't see, he showed a sly smile.

"I can't swallow that! Father is simply confused! Jing Zheng walked around Zhou Binzhao's room with his hands behind his back, and his heart was confused for a while, and his face was self-deprecating. For a long time, he was the only one who pressed others, when would he let others kick their noses in the face?

"You could have done something to make Great Xia the overlord of the Central Plains, the eight kingdoms will come to the court, and the people will be happy...... It's just that now, it's all a luxury. King Rui is soft, this country has no place in his hands......" Zhou Bin said with emotion, and there were tears in his eyes. A look of hating iron but not steel, slapping his thigh, and because he was too anxious, it caused a cough. The pattern of the clouds and moon on the shoulders exudes a little cold light.

Jing Zheng's face was not good-looking, but his eyes were still full of hope: "If you can talk to your father, maybe you can change your mind." ”

Zhou Binzhao was silent, but he looked at the change in the expression on Jing Zheng's face. He held the letter from Beiyang in his hand, which seemed to be a relief in the snow for them, and seemed to be pushed into the abyss of no return. From the time when he deliberately brought the little girl Zhou Wan to Jing Cheng, who had not yet ascended the throne, he was eager to see the day when he could watch his family ascend to the throne of Great Xia. Over the years, the Zhou family has pulled up cronies, formed a party, and comforted the old ministers just for that throne, so that all the achievements have been wasted.

When he knew that Jing Cheng was going to choose King Rui Jingchi as his son, he almost spurted out a mouthful of blood.

This month, the wind and clouds have changed abruptly, and he can't figure out King Xia's thoughts.

But ......, he looked down at the letter in his hand again!
