The emperor raised his head from the fold and asked Suo Meng, "Is there any news of Xiao Lingwei?" ”

Suo Meng replied respectfully: "Not yet." ”

The emperor's face turned dark, and he held a breath in his heart, wanting to attack, but instead suppressed it and asked about the Chinese New Year's Eve sacrifice.

"How's the preparation for the sacrificial ceremony?"

"Everything has been prepared, but Lord He asked His Majesty whether the eldest prince would accompany you or the fourth prince to accompany you that day, and you haven't given permission yet, so Lord He doesn't dare to make a claim."

Who accompanied His Majesty to the sacrificial ceremony on that day was of great significance, and according to the ancestral system, it should be the crown prince who accompanied the emperor to participate. But now that the crown prince has not been canonized, he can only choose one of the two princes and the fourth prince, in a sense, this also represents the emperor's inner thoughts, and the officials can feel a wind direction.

The emperor pondered for a moment and said, "Let the eldest prince attend." ”

Suo Meng's eyes flickered.

At this moment, a guard appeared at the door of the temple panting, and shouted, "Your Majesty... Below, there is an emergency military situation. ”

The emperor's face changed.

Gonggong Hai hurriedly took the fold from the little eunuch and handed it to the emperor.

After reading it, the emperor's face sank, and he ordered: "Gather the officials of the three provinces and six ministries to immediately go to the Heart Cultivation Hall to discuss matters." ”

......

The Turks attacked on a large scale, the Yumen Pass was lost, the soldiers defending the city were annihilated, the people in the city were massacred, and the whole city was destroyed. The news came from the front and caused a sensation throughout the capital.

As soon as the palace changed hands, bad news came from the border, and people had to think about it, but they just thought about it in their hearts, and they didn't dare to put it into their mouths. As long as they think of what happened to Princess Yongjia, the people of the capital dare not talk about it casually.

The emperor soon issued a holy decree, ordering the city near Yumen Pass to be strictly defended, and ordering General Yao, the general of Suzhou, to mobilize troops and recapture Yumen Pass.

"It's really strange, in previous years, the Turks would not choose this time to invade the border, this is almost the New Year's Festival, Yumen Pass is icy and snowy, and even a ghost doesn't dare to go out. On such a cold day, those Turkic soldiers still have the courage to attack us in the south? ”

Xiao Linghui thought about it and felt that this matter was unusual.

Lan Hai sighed: "Poor people in Yumen Pass, none of them survived, the Turks are really hateful." ”

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, Lan Hai picked off the branch on the side and twisted it vigorously.

Xiao Ling glanced at her slightly, and muttered: "Maybe the weather is too cold this winter, and the Turkic cattle and sheep are freezing to death, so they came to Dayuan to plunder food." ”

"You're right, hey, the little girl is really smart, in a word." Tiantian cast an appreciative glance at Xiao Lingwei.

Zhong Mu asked, "How do you know that Miss is right?" ”

Tiantian glanced up at the sky: "I just received news that the Turks have died thousands of cattle and sheep this winter, and the tribesmen have no food and can't survive, so they can only go outside to rob them." ”

"Even if that's the case, it can't kill all the people in Yumen Pass." Lan Hai snorted.

"That is, there must be something hateful about the wretched." Cheng Rui echoed.

Xiao Lingwei suddenly stood up and announced, "I know where to go next, let's go and take the Jade Gate Pass back." ”

Tiantian was stunned for a moment, "You... Are you really planning to take the city? ”

Xiao Ling turned her head slightly to look at him: "Didn't you say it, let me rob a city?" Don't approve of this now? ”

An embarrassed look flashed on Tianday's face, and he clenched his fist with his hand and pretended to cough twice: "Ahem... That's right, girl... Actually, that day... It's just casual talk, I didn't expect you to take it seriously, haha. ”

"Actually, I respect you very much, after all, you taught me martial arts, and I will think seriously about what you say."

Xiao Ling's sudden sincerity and honesty made Tianday's dry smile come to an abrupt end.

“... Well, we still have to discuss it. Tiantian coughed lightly twice, and analyzed Xiao Ling's micro: "Girl, listen to me." Now, we only know that the Turks occupied Yumen Pass, and we don't know how many troops they have. But at present, it seems that there are tens of thousands of troops.

"Then, if you look at us again, and with my bad old man, we're only seven.

"Yes, I am strong in martial arts, and I will never be able to defeat one against a hundred, but after all, there are too many of them, and we can't beat them.

"Forget it, let's go somewhere else."

At this time, Xiao Linghui also stood on the side of Tiantian: "Weiwei, the old man is right, the injuries on our bodies haven't healed yet, so we won't join in the fun." ”

Lan Hai was afraid that Xiao Ling would be stubborn and make another mistake, so he also joined the queue of persuasion: "Miss, you just listen to the young master, take care of your injuries first, the toxins in your body have not been cleared yet." Besides, when I went to Yumen Pass at this time, many roads were blocked by heavy snow, and I couldn't get through. ”

"Yes, yes, the snow is closed, and we can't get by." Xiao Linghui nodded violently.

Xiao Ling said lightly: "Then wait until that step." With that, he turned around and left.

That step?

Which step?

Leaving everyone looking at each other, they didn't know what Xiao Lingwei was planning.

"Miss, miss."

Shen You hurriedly walked in, looked around the courtyard, and didn't see Xiao Lingwei, so he asked Lan Hai, "Miss?" ”

"In the room." Lan Hai replied.

Xiao Linghui asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Shen You said: "I just saw Lan Mei outside..."

"What? Lan Mei? Lan Hai was so shocked that the fan in his hand fell to the ground, "Isn't Lan Mei already dead?" I saw with my own eyes that the Four Princes had ejaculated through her body. ”

Xiao Lingwei ran out of the room and stared at Shen You: "Where did you see Lan Mei, is she alive or dead now?" ”

You said a word, and finally it was Shen You's turn to speak, Shen You took a breath, suppressed the doubt in his heart, and said calmly: "When I went out to buy medicine just now, when I passed a carriage on the street, I heard Lan Mei's voice coming from inside.

"At that time, I thought I had misheard, and when I was about to come back, the carriage stopped at the shop next to it, and when the curtain opened, I saw that the person inside was Lan Mei.

"She's still alive, she just looks weak."

Hearing this, Xiao Lingwei cried with joy: "She's still alive, she's still alive, it's great..."

Tiantian glanced at her, his expression was silent,

Xiao Lingwei hurriedly asked, "Where is she now, I'll go find her." ”

Shen You's face changed slightly, and he said, "Miss, don't be impulsive, I think those people look like people from Long Wujun, but they are very polite to Lan Mei." ”

Xiao Linghui pondered for a moment and said, "This may be a trap, the Eight Achievements are the emperor's desire to lure you out." ”

When everyone heard this, the joy just now was swept away.

"Then I'll have to check it out, too." Xiao Lingwei's attitude was very firm, since she knew that Lan Mei was still alive, she had to rescue Lan Mei.

"Miss, don't be impulsive, let's find out the situation first." Lan Hai stood up and said, "I'll go now." ”

After speaking, he greeted Shen You: "You take me there." ”
