These days, Zhan Li walks in the mountains every day, is leisurely, tastes tea and sees flowers, and sure enough, the tranquility of this Buddhist realm can wash away the impetuousness and utilitarianism of people, and suddenly wants to live in seclusion here, living a life like idle clouds and wild cranes. But everything can't always be as people wish, and as soon as the day dawns, Yun appeared at the door of Zhanli.

"What's wrong"? Yu Li was surprised when he saw Yun, if there was no big event, how could Yun have appeared here so early, I'm afraid it was last night.

"High Priest, there is a courier from the border, saying that the country wants to provoke a war, and His Royal Highness Qihou asked him to come and invite you back to the city", Yun said concisely, and handed a letter to Yu Li.

Yan Li took the letter and immediately unfolded it, and after reading it, he instructed Yun to help pack up, turned around and went to the next room, saw that Meng Niang was the only one there, and asked Yan Ziyue and Nangong Yu had gone to the top of the mountain to collect dewdrops. After thinking about it for a while, thinking that the situation in the DPRK and China was unclear at this time, I might not have time to take care of Yan Ziyue too much when I went back this time, so it was better to leave her here for the time being, and I would be at ease, and I would go back to my room to write a letter.

"Meng Niang, this trust Xuanjing Master will be handed over to Master Wuliang, in addition, if Xiao Yue'er asks, just say that I have something to do to go back to the city, and I will send someone to pick her up in the future", Zhan Li explained seriously.

Yun packed his bags and came to find him: "High priest, it's all right."

"Hmm", Yu Li responded, said a few more words to Meng Niang, and went down the mountain with Yun.

At noon, Yan Ziyue came back and didn't see Yu Li, she felt strange, she would wait for herself at the gate of the courtyard every day, what happened today, she didn't think about it so much, she smelled the food when she entered the courtyard, and the two trotted into the small kitchen in the courtyard.

"Aunt Meng, we're back", Yan Ziyue and Nangong shouted.

"I'm back, wash my hands and get ready to eat", Meng Niang glanced back at the two children in front of the stove and said.

After a while, a table of sumptuous vegetarian meals was put on the table, red, yellow, green and purple, and they were hungry when they looked at it, and the two couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and eat.

Meng Niang came up with the soup, took off her apron and sat down at the table, looking at the two children eating with relish, not to mention how happy she was.

"Aunt Meng, where is my father-in-law"?

"The high priest has an important return to Fengdu in advance", Meng Niang served a bowl of soup for each of the two children.

"What's so urgent, don't wait for me to come back."

"You child, the high priest is busy with state affairs, how can he delay."

"But, you should always say goodbye to me", Yan Ziyue took a bite, and said with some pretended anger: "Maybe you left me on purpose, hum... When I see him again, I have to teach him a lesson."

"You... The people are small and big, the high priest said, he will send someone to pick us up in the coming day", Meng Niang put vegetables into the bowls of the two children.

"Ahem..."Nangong Yuxiao's face turned red, Meng Niang hurriedly handed him a glass of boiled water for him to drink, and while helping him pat his back to smooth his breath, he said: "Eat slowly, be careful and choke again."

Yan Ziyue glanced at Nangong Yu and said, "I won't rob you, what are you anxious about?"

Nangong pardoned and said: "I was choked by your words, do you really dare to teach the great sacrifice a lesson, bragging."

Yan Ziyue was poked in the sore spot by Nangong Amnesty, and for not completing the task until now, there are some pimples in her inner world, and now Nangong Pardon's words really angered Yan Ziyue, not because of Nangong Amnesty, but because of her own incompetence, so she lowered her head and stopped talking, and chewed and swallowed slowly silently.

Nangong pardoned Yan Ziyue's silence, and her mood was also low, knowing that what she said just now made her unhappy, and she regretted that she didn't choose what she said, but she didn't know how to coax her, so she had to put vegetables in her bowl one by one, look at her from time to time, pay close attention to her reaction, and see that she was not repulsed, so she felt better.

Meng Niang looked at the two children, the two had no guesses, and they got along, maybe they could get married in the future, and the smile on her face deepened.

When he left Fengdu City, he asked Yun to go back to the Great Si Ming Palace first, and he went directly to the palace to see Bai Qi.

In the palace of the palace, Bai Qi saw that Yan Li was coming back, so he quickly got up to greet him, pulled Yan Li to sit down, and asked people to serve tea.

"High Priest, just in time," Bai Qi said, pulling a copy of the report from the bookcase and handing it to Yan Li.

Yan Li put down the tea bowl in his hand, opened it and looked at it, his brows furrowed slightly: "If this matter is serious, I'm afraid there will be changes, how does Qihou plan"?

"I... I haven't thought about it yet", Bai Qi had a somewhat embarrassed expression.

"Is there a reliable person to check the situation"? Deserted.

"Hmm... I've already sent General Fan, but I haven't heard back for the time being," Bai Qi said with some apprehension.

After looking at Bai Qi's reaction, he knew that the person who went should have replied a long time ago, but there was no news that he might be in danger, and he thought for a while: "Is Qihou considering sending another person there?"

Bai Qi was stunned for a moment, it wasn't that he didn't expect it, but it was not appropriate to make a public announcement before this matter was approved, and there was no suitable candidate for a while, so he looked at Yan Li and said: "Is there a candidate for the Great Sacrifice?"

"City Defense Deputy General Sun Yi, how"?

"Sun Yan, he... In this way, wouldn't General Hou Nangong be far away from it?"

"Do you think General Nangong will not know about this"?

When Bai Qi heard this, he suddenly woke up: 'Yes, border affairs, how can it escape his Nangong Yuan's eyes', and after thinking about it, he said: "Come here, summon the general Hou into the palace."

Bai Qi turned his head to look at Yan Li, and saw that he was smiling and drinking tea, without any nervousness, so he said, "Do you know anything?"

Yan Li raised his eyes and looked at Bai Qi, and said with a smile: "I think General Nangong should have received the letter a long time ago, maybe someone has been sent to check, think that it should be this deputy general Sun Qi who was sent."

"Seriously"? , Bai Qi felt a little incredible.

"He'll be here in a while, and you'll know when you ask", mentioning Nangong Yuan, Yu Li thought of Nangong pardon, and Nangong Yuan came in a while, how to tell him.

Bai Qi listened and felt that it was not impossible, thinking that most of the generals who came over there were brought out by Yan Moyu and Nangong Yuan, not to mention that the two of them actually held the military power, if there was really any change, I am afraid that the two of them would also send a copy to the two of them at the same time.

After a pillar of incense, the general Hou Nangong Yuan only entered the palace, and the Imperial Strategy Hall was stunned when he saw Yan Li, and then it became clear when he thought about it.

"Qihou, high priest, don't come unharmed"?

"Some days are gone, is General Nangong good"? Half-joking.

"General Hou must already know about the border, right?" Bai Qi was not ambiguous, and asked Nangong Yuan directly.

Nangong Yuan wanted to pretend not to know, but after taking a look at Yu Li, he saw the clue in his eyes, so he nodded and said: "The minister also knows, and sent the deputy general Sun Yi to visit, and he has sent someone to send back the letter before entering the palace."

Bai Qi was startled at first when he heard this, and then he looked at Yan Li, the meaning in his eyes couldn't be clearer, and then looked at Nangong Yuan and said, "How is the situation, is it true?"

"It's true", Nangong Yuan replied categorically: "That Xiaoyao Country led an army of 30,000 and attacked Donglong City at night, the main prison of Donglong City has been killed, and Donglong City has fallen into the hands of Xiaoyao Kingdom."

"Who is the commander of the Loose Country this time"? Zhan Li categorically didn't expect that Xiaoyao Kingdom had actually taken East Dragon City, so he got up and asked.

"An Lu", Nangong Yuan obviously had a trace of coolness on his face when he said it.

Yan Li learned from Yan Moyu that this person was a famous general in the free country, a ruthless character, and he was addicted to killing, and now he was in his prime, and he was afraid that it would become even worse, and the East Dragon City would fall into his hands, and the people would suffer.

"Then why did the free country send troops, is it really because of a group of military prostitutes?" When Bai Qi saw the worried look on his face, he also knew that this person named An Lu was not a simple character.

Nangong Yuan sank his voice and said: "Because the city lord of Donglong City, Fang Prison, opened the city trade without authorization, in recent years, many specialties of the free country have flowed into the city, and they have been touted, and there is no market, and many rich businessmen in the city can't resist the temptation of interests, and collude with the city lord Fang Prison to open the city gate to buy and sell each other. At the beginning, the Xiaoyao people took the first advantage and obtained a lot of benefits, in exchange for a large number of cotton, cloth, tea, salt and other daily necessities, and then the rich merchants in the city united, raised the price of daily materials, and suppressed the market price of the specialties of the Xiaoyao country, and bribed the city lord Fang Prison to conduct a strict investigation of the merchants of the Xiaoyao country, which angered many merchants of the Xiaoyao country, and then it intensified, causing the resentment in the city to boil, many merchants of the Xiaoyao country were looted and even lost their lives after entering the city, a month ago there seemed to be a Xiaoyao country magnates killed in Donglong City, After unsuccessful negotiations with the city lord and the culprit within a limited time, the city lord tried to hide from the world and did not dare to report it, which led to this war."

After hearing this, Bai Qi patted the book case, gritted his teeth and said: "Damn, Fang Prison is simply bold, damn it."

Seeing Bai Qi's anger, he couldn't say anything for a while, looked at Nangong Yuan, shook his head slightly, and signaled to wait for Qi Hou to calm down for a while.

After a cup of tea, Bai Qi calmed down some of his anger, and then walked over and said, "The top priority is how to solve this matter"?

"The siege of the Anlu of the Xiaoyao Kingdom is the instruction of the Emperor Xiaoji of the Xiaoyao Kingdom"? Bai Qi looked at Nangong Yuan, expecting to get the answer he wanted.

"Yes...", Nangong Yuan nodded, only to see that Bai Qi's face was getting worse and worse.

"So who is the powerful man of the murdered free country"? Zhan Li asked.

"It is said that he is Teng Yixun, the uncle of Xiaoyao Kingdom, and the eldest brother of Teng Guifei, the favorite concubine of the Emperor of Xiaoyao."

When he saw Nangong Yuan talking about his uncle Teng Yixun, his face was full of disdain, which showed that this person was not a good person.

"Can General Nangong know what the situation is in Donglong City now?"

"High priest, this is what I want to know now, I have arranged for someone to sneak into the city to find out the news, and there will be news in the near future."

"Hmm...", Zhan Li imagined the situation in East Dragon City, and his heart was even more worried.
