Here, Xiao Wenxuan handed over the secret letter to the messenger and asked him to hand it over to the emperor in person. The messenger nodded, he knew the weight of the letter, and naturally there would be no negligence.

Xiao Wenxuan nodded reassuringly, and watched him ride away on a fast horse.

A steep mountain pass, two black-clothed people hidden in the branches, the lush branches cover the figures of the two people, if others don't look carefully, they can't imagine that there are cats here.

"It's coming!" A man who looked at the wind said calmly. He spoke in a low tone, as if everything was expected.

"Leave it to me!" His companion was more excited, and raised his bow and arrow at the beating head.

The messenger delivering the letter was assassinated on the way, and the body was abandoned under the cliff. And Xiao Wenxuan didn't know anything, he thought that the emperor had read the secret letter and had a plan.

The soldiers guarding the frontier woke up from their dreams in horror when they heard the sound of drums outside the camp. They got up and found that the people of the Western Regions had rushed in with spears and broadswords, and they were burning, killing, and plundering, and doing all kinds of evil.

In the blink of an eye, the originally quiet night was woken up by the sound of fighting, cries for help, and crying, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood, and everyone looked at the corpses on the ground in fear, trembling.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Western Regions are at war!" A messenger hurried into the palace, and the eight-hundred-mile urgent letter was held high by him. Before he had time to wipe the sweat and blood from his forehead, he panted and shouted to the emperor's bedroom.

The emperor got up in a hurry and ran out before he had time to put on his shoes.

When the messenger saw the emperor, a relieved smile appeared on his face. But because of his lack of physical strength, he staggered and fell, and Father-in-law Zhang on the side hurriedly supported him.

"Your Majesty, the frontier is in an emergency! The Western Regions attacked our army at night, and the frontier soldiers were annihilated! The man finished the last sentence with all his might, and closed his eyes forever.

The emperor is heartbroken, these soldiers are all good. He watched his people being bullied like this, and at the same time, he was distressed and even more jealous and hateful towards the Western Regions.

Back then, my father signed an agreement with the Western Regions to engage in friendly exchanges and joint business, but I didn't expect them to be so ambitious that they would betray their promises and attack our dynasty so quickly.

"Spread my will, the Western Regions are treacherous, and I declare war!" After thinking for two minutes, the emperor announced with a gloomy face that a large-scale war with the Western Regions had begun.

Father-in-law Zhang didn't dare to delay, and immediately went to announce the decree.

The emperor stopped him again.

"You go to the Houfu now, and inform Tang Muchen to come and see me immediately!"

Father-in-law Zhang looked at the still gloomy sky outside the sky, and was a little embarrassed. At this time, just after the third watch, I'm afraid that Tang Houye is still asleep.

"Go!" The emperor saw his hesitation and yelled. When 100,000 people are in a hurry, where can they sleep peacefully? How many soldiers on the front line are fighting bloodily, he as the imperial court

Gonggong Zhang didn't dare to delay for half a minute any longer, and trotted all the way to Houfu to deliver the decree.

The sudden attack in the Western Regions caught everyone off guard, and they originally thought that everyone would find their own agricultural economy, help each other in business, and jointly create a scene of national peace and security. Unexpectedly, he actually stabbed a knife in the back, trying to take down the Celestial Empire in one fell swoop.

The emperor is worried, now that he is really using troops, there are not many good generals available in his hands, and if he can't be fully prepared to fight, I'm afraid the consequences will be unimaginable.

He sighed and sat helplessly in the dragon chair. As a king, he can't even protect his own people, and he is really ashamed of his ancestors and ancestors.

At this moment, the door opened. The queen walked in with a yellow coat and gently put it on him.

"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry too much, I believe Tang Muchen will come to solve the problem." The queen sat beside him, softly comforting.

The emperor raised his head and took her hand silently. He also believed that Tang Muchen would have a way, but he had to use silver taels to fight, and now that the treasury was vacant, he really didn't know what to do. In recent years, he has vigorously developed the economy, hoping that the whole country will be rich and the people will be strong, but he never thought that he would be betrayed by his former allies.

Grandpa Zhang's visit woke up everyone in the Houfu, and anyone with a discerning eye knew that something big must have happened to someone in the palace at this time, otherwise they wouldn't have bothered at night.

Zhu Ling naturally knew the severity, and trotted all the way to call Tang Muchen.

Hearing Zhu Ling's shout, Su Xiaojin also woke up, and asked Tang Muchen uneasily if something had happened. Tang Muchen replied while getting dressed, I'm afraid that the Western Regions won't be able to keep it!

Su Xiaojin nodded clearly, in this way, the battle of the country must be fought. It's just that it's too close to Qin Wenya and them, will they be affected if they don't go?

"You go to sleep first, and I'll go back when I go." Tang Muchen patted her on the shoulder, signaling that she didn't have to worry too much. The so-called soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and when the sky falls, she will have her own support, so she doesn't have to be afraid.

Having said that, Su Xiaojin didn't feel sleepy. She asked Gu Yu to wait for her to get up, and she wanted to hurry up to find Tang Lingyun and ask him to think of a way quickly. The country is in a time of crisis, and everyone should be ready to sacrifice their lives for the country.

When Su Xiaojin arrived, Tang Lingyun had already gotten up. As if the mother and son had a clear heart, he always felt that something was happening, so he got up early in the morning and began to read military books.

"Mother!" When he saw Su Xiaojin, he was very surprised.

"Lingyun, the Western Regions are at war with us!" Su Xiaojin grabbed his hand and made a long story short.

Tang Lingyun nodded, not too surprised. Seeing the doubt in his mother's eyes, he replied calmly.

Half a month ago, he accidentally found that the import of medicinal materials from the Western Regions in the capital has decreased a lot, at first he thought that the output of the Western Regions was too low this year, but later he inquired and learned that the Western Regions refused to sell to the Central Plains this year, saying that the price of the Central Plains was too low.

"Mother, the quality of medicinal materials in the Western Regions is good, and the price has always been not low, how can you say such a thing? At that time, Erchen began to pay attention, and secretly arranged for his subordinates to buy a large number of medicinal materials to stop bleeding and reduce inflammation in case of emergency. ”

Tang Lingyun told the matter as it was, and Su Xiaojin nodded again and again after listening to it. This guy is free and smart, and he knows how to draw inferences. Although I taught him some simple medical theories, I didn't tell him the inference that he could see the whole body at a glance.

She sighed, he just found that there were fewer medicinal materials, and he could deduce the wolf ambition of the Western Regions, which was really impressive.

"Mother rest assured, the child will enter the palace to see how the emperor arranges, if he needs to go on behalf of his father, the child will not shirk." Tang Lingyun thought that his mother was worried about his father's comfort, and immediately comforted him.

Su Xiaojin shook her head, she didn't come with this intention. It's just that the country has not been at war for a long time, and in recent years has been encouraging farming, presumably the treasury must be empty. If this is the case, I am afraid that the country will be completely finished.

This was also something Tang Lingyun never expected. He nodded, Jiang was still old and spicy, and his mother was more thoughtful than himself.
