In the hall, on the chair of the gold-carved lacquer dragon, sat the pale, thin as firewood, old dragon clock, and the Nanye Emperor who looked like he was about to die.

An extremely bewitching-looking concubine served beside Emperor Nanye, with a Hunan skirt swaying to the ground, a bun combed on her head, fluffy and high temples, and a row of phoenix pearls and emeralds obliquely inserted.

The concubine held a jade plate in her hand, and her slender fingers picked out the grapes on the plate one by one, peeled them and fed them into the mouth of Emperor Nanye.

The golden toad furnaces on both sides continued to emit white smoke, and the entire hall was filled with a strong smell of elixir.

The concubine's body of pearl and jade was extremely dazzling, and Ye Xiu recognized this woman at a glance as Shen Guifei, who was now the most favored by the emperor.

Although Shen Guifei was deeply favored by Emperor Nanye, she failed to give birth to a prince, and only had a daughter, who was named Princess Liuxiang because she had a fragrance without fat powder since she was a child.

Shen Guifei and the Shen family are on the side of the prince, so the queen has never embarrassed Shen Guifei in the palace.

In front of the Nanye Emperor stood a courtier, Shen Changqing, a general guarding the southeastern border of the Nanye Kingdom.

Shen Changqing said in advance: "Your Majesty, Ye Xiao has been in the northwest for so many years, and the territory of our Nanye has not expanded an inch, and it is in vain that he is the most elite wolf smoke iron horse in our Nanye country. ”

Shen Guifei stuffed a grape into Emperor Nanye's mouth, and said kindly: "It's all the reputation left by the Duke of Zhenguo to the Ye family, then Ye Xiao must have no ability, and the good things that his son Ye Xiu did, Your Majesty has also heard about it, the son is like this, how can he be a father." ”

Emperor Nanye's eyelids were half-open, his voice was soft, and he said weakly: "Ye Xiao, I have made a lot of contributions in my early years, although I have no merit in these years, there is no fault, and there is not much in the northwest territory, but it is not less. ”

Shen Changqing stepped forward and continued: "Your Majesty, the last general can go to the northwest to replace Ye Xiao, and he will definitely be able to expand his territory in a few months. ”

Emperor Nan Ye yawned and said, "You are gone, who will guard the southeast?" ”

"Shen Shi, the nephew of the last general, is familiar with the art of war, and with the assistance of the deputy general in the army, he can guard the southeast."

Emperor Nan Ye opened his eyes and looked at Shen Changqing: "But how did I hear that your nephew Shen Shi is a good gambler and has been soaking in the gambling stone shop all year round?" ”

Shen Changqing hurriedly squeezed his eyebrows at Shen Guifei, Shen Guifei's eyes were like silk, he rubbed his shoulders for Emperor Nanye, and said: "Your Majesty, isn't it just a matter of talking on paper if you die studying all day long, the stones are all dug in the soil, Shen Shi He relied on the stones from all over the country to understand the terrain of Nanye Xinjiang, so as to figure out how to arrange the troops." ”

The words of a few people, Ye Xiao heard clearly before entering the hall, as soon as he entered the hall, he felt the tiger talisman from his body and said: "The people of the Tooth Dance Country are fierce, the people are brave and good at fighting, the last general does not know how many elite soldiers have been sacrificed, and the Tooth Dance has been defeated and retreated, and now the Tooth Dance has taken the initiative to marry the most beautiful princess in the country with Yaoguo, in order to ask for military aid, if Yaoguo sends troops, the last general wants to see how General Shen expands his territory in a few months." ”

After speaking, Ye Xiao neatly placed the talisman on the table in front of Emperor Nan Ye.

When Shen Changqing heard Ye Xiao's words, his expression instantly froze.

He didn't know about the fact that Tooth Dance Country went to Yaoguo to ask for help, otherwise he would never have mentioned this matter at this time.

Shen Changqing was stunned for a moment before he said: "The last general thought about it again, the officers and men in the army have been following General Ye for so many years, and when the generals are changed at the first time, I am afraid that they will be uncomfortable and affect the morale of the army, so this matter cannot be rushed." ”

Ye Xiao sneered: "I know that General Shen, you don't dare to take it!" ”

When Shen Changqing heard Ye Xiao's words, he didn't blush at all.
