There was a shout in the Wei Imperial Palace, and the ministers speculated about the alliance, and everyone had different opinions. There was silence in the main hall, either Emperor Wei was shocked by King Nancheng, or Emperor Wei was weighing the pros and cons and making the final struggle.

King Nancheng waited a little impatiently, smiled contemptuously, and was about to put away the alliance book: "Your Majesty is afraid that you have overestimated yourself, and this king's energy is limited, so then..." ”

"Wait a minute," Emperor Wei had already broken his psychological defense, "the twelve secret techniques are not all in my hands. Please also ask King Nancheng to give him some more time. ”

"How many do you have?" King Nancheng didn't look back, and asked while rolling up his sleeves, thinking that Wei Guo was delaying time to discuss countermeasures.

"I have eight techniques, and the remaining four techniques are not in the palace because they have nothing to do with state affairs, but are scattered all over the place." Emperor Wei seemed to be telling the truth.

"Since it is the Twelve Tantric Techniques, it must be presented in its entirety to look like an alliance, Your Majesty, what do you say?" King Nan Cheng turned his head slightly, leaving only the silhouette, and under the reflection of the light, he looked even more cunning and wolf.

"These eight techniques, I can hand them over to King Nancheng right now to show my sincerity. Give me five days, and I will give it in its entirety. Emperor Wei was very sincere, and took out eight mahogany boxes from the secret box in the side cabinet and said: "Each secret technique is a mahogany box, which contains the method of casting spells, as well as the materials required for spellcasting. ”

King Nancheng took the eight mahogany boxes and handed the letter of alliance to Emperor Wei: "Your Majesty, in five days, this king will come to the door again." ”

King Nancheng bowed and slowly retreated.

【Nanming, Jingwangfu】

"Lord Ling, it's not good, it's not good." A little maid ran in the courtyard, ignoring her manners, trying her best but still swallowing slowly.

"Stop!" Ling Xiao scolded, rushed to the maidservant's side and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

As the commander-in-chief of the Jingwang Mansion, although Ling Xiao has an unruly face, it is really difficult to endure the unorthodox words and deeds of others.

"The county lord and the county lord are gone...... This is a note left in the county lord's house. The little maid panicked and took out the note in her hand and handed it to Ling Xiao.

I didn't have time to say more, Ling Xiao opened it and took a look, and it wrote: I can't find a few piano skills, so I am willing to go to Wei to find good skills.

"Oops." Ling Xiao muttered to herself.

"My lord, what should I do, my lord!" The little maid clenched her fingers eagerly, and she was about to cry.

"Just remember, don't make a noise." Ling Xiao instructed cautiously. With a lunge he galloped to the stable, picked up a fast horse and galloped away.

Now the only way to rush to the palace immediately is to wait at the door for King Jing and Emperor Ming to finish, and then ask King Jing to decide. Along the way, he was thinking that the county lord had gone to Weiguo, and now he was in the negotiation period between Nanming and the Weiguo Alliance, and the situation was very complicated, how should this be good.

Running to the palace gate, he happened to meet King Jing out of the palace, and King Jing, who was about to get into the carriage, saw Ling Xiao here, his brows tightened, and said, "What's wrong?" ”

If it weren't for the accident in the mansion on weekdays, Ling Xiao would definitely take care of everything in the mansion. Ling Xiao dismounted, knelt down on one knee and said, "The county lord has gone to Weiguo." Here's the note. ”

How could King Jing stand such news, he was stunned for a while, one arm trembled, and pressed on Ling Xiao's shoulder: "Did you send someone to find it?" ”

"It's already sent. The prince doesn't have to worry too much. Ling Xiao didn't know how to comfort King Jing, nor did she know the current political situation, which made King Jing even more worried.

"You know... You know..."King Jing patted his head and turned around in a hurry: "Do you know that we are now in a bad situation with Wei Kingdom?" ”

"My subordinates don't know." Ling Xiao saw that King Jing was so eager, and Nan Ming must be doing something about the alliance.

"In the past, we were really good friends with Weiguo. Just last month, Wei proposed an alliance, and since then, there has been no news of an alliance. King Jing motioned for Ling Xiao to get up, supported himself, and got into the carriage together.

"No news? Is the prince saying that His Majesty will not respond? Ling Xiao was also puzzled.

King Jing nodded helplessly: "Hey, since that day, Daxing Ling has kept silent about this matter, and no matter who asks, he will treat it as if he didn't hear it." And the Fifth Highness King Nancheng also said that he was not sick and refused to see people, saying that there was a divine doctor in the diagnosis and treatment, and even the imperial doctor was not seen. There are still some rumors outside, saying that King Nancheng is secretly spending time in the mansion. ”

"So, it's weird. However, the subordinates have a guess. "Ling Xiao has always been the king of Jing's bag, and he was only giving advice and turning danger into a disaster when it was life and death.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it." The jolting of the carriage would not allow the coachman to hear their conversation, and here, even if Ling Xiao said something disrespectful to His Majesty, King Jing would not take it to heart.

"The subordinates thought that King Nancheng was not in the mansion at all. I'm afraid that the Great Order is only being ordered to stall for time. Ling Xiao analyzed carefully, "King Nancheng has always been concerned about the affairs of the court and politics, how could he not go to the court for ten days in a row. What's more, King Nancheng is not interested in women, wine, cultivating immortals, etc., how can he attract any divine doctors to enter the mansion, let alone spend all day drinking in the mansion. ”

"Well, this king used to think so, but... So where will he go? King Jing guessed in his heart that it was Weiguo, but he didn't dare to confirm it.

"Wei Guo. It can only be Weiguo. Since it was King Nancheng and not Daxing, it must be a secret alliance, fearing that it would alarm the Qi State. Ling Xiao said this, as if the mystery had been solved.

"Since it is an alliance, even if it is a secret alliance, Ju'er is safe. Hey, this king's old breath almost didn't mention it. Send more men to her. King Jing closed his eyes and leaned back in the carriage, breathing a sigh of relief.

"No." Ling Xiao replied, he hoped that his guesses were true.

【Weiguo, Inn】

He Ju has been away with Ruoxin and Xiao Qi for five days, and unknowingly arrived at Weiyang City, the border city of Weiguo.

"County Lord, we have arrived in Weiyang City, what are your plans next?" Xiao Qi didn't know where the county master went to find the Stringless Technique.

Ruo Xin saw that He Ju didn't respond, so he hurriedly replied: "Weiyang City is only the border of Weiguo, I think we have to go to the Imperial City of Weiguo to find the Stringless Technique." After all, something as valuable as the Twelve Tantras can't be placed on the border. ”

"County Lord, what do you think?" Xiao Qi saw that He Ju was still in his thoughts, so he asked again.

He Jushi was undecided, and now he came back to his senses: "Let's go to the Imperial City of Weiguo first, and we can inquire as we go." ”

"There are also a lot of Ming Shixuan's forces in Weiguo, I think maybe they will help." Xiao Qi raised his ears and whispered to He Ju.

"What are you talking about? Are you afraid that I won't be able to do it? Ruoxin saw them talking silently, and her mouth pursed.

"The county lord is saying, in a while, you might as well try the special pastries of Weiguo!" Xiao Qi's greatest pleasure should be to tease Ruoxin.

At sunset, the afterglow is everywhere, and the three girls and teenagers dress up, wander the streets, and taste delicious food.

【Nanming, Imperial Study】

In the scorching summer, the sea breeze in Nanming is hot, and the ice box is only available in the palace at this time. Emperor Ming pinched an ice grape and slowly put it in his mouth, I am afraid that there is nothing more comfortable than this in the sultry summer: "Such a summer ice product, I can't enjoy it alone, and it is time to pass the big order." ”

"No." The guards beside him immediately went to give the order.

Before the ice had completely melted, Daxing ordered him to come to the imperial study: "Wechen knocks on Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Ming picked up a plate with one hand, took a bunch of grapes with the other and put it on, and walked to the side of Daxingling: "Come, Daxingling also uses some." ”

"It's... Your Majesty. Daxing Ling grabbed a grape and put it in his mouth, the cold taste was a lot more soothing.

"After much thought, I decided to refuse the invitation of the Wei State to form an alliance." Emperor Ming continued: "The Great Order can draft a letter of rejection tomorrow, remember to publicize it. ”

Da Xingling looked at Emperor Ming in front of him, as if he didn't know this person, such a major decision seemed to be said casually, this was a decision made earlier, and I don't know why it has been delayed to this day. Even though Daxing Ling was unwilling, he still replied: "Obey Your Majesty's order." ”

Emperor Ming ate the grapes, his face was full of smiles, and while shaking his head, he strode out, while Daxing Ling was still kneeling on the ground, unable to recover for a long time.

King Nancheng, the fifth prince of Nanming, who is accepting the alliance in Wei State, still knows nothing about this matter, and he doesn't know that tomorrow's drama will set off a few huge waves. True or false, only Emperor Ming himself knows.
