D, this old guy is simply murderous when he speaks. ”

After listening to Li Xian's words, Wang Xiaolai instantly thought in his heart, who here doesn't know that Fan Lin was originally from the Qingzhou Party, and if you say this in front of the empress, isn't it just to remind the empress to be careful of Fan Lin being a traitor.

Sure enough, when the words fell, Fan Lin's face turned red: "You, you spew blood!" ”

Li Xian smiled: "Bloody mouth? May I ask Lord Fan, what are you talking about? ”

"Enough, the enemy is still noisy, and it is peaceful." Liu Maolin saw that the empress didn't speak, and knew that if he continued like this, he was afraid that he would fight directly.

"Your Majesty, the old minister feels that no matter what, the Eighth Prince will not be able to withdraw the northern border, and our side still has a chance to win." Liu Maolin could only change the subject.

Li Xian chased Liu Maolin's words: "Your Majesty, you must not, the anti-party Zhao Sui is powerful, and we can only have a chance of winning if we choose to let the Eighth Prince lead the team back to defense." ”

Liu Maolin turned his head and glared at Li Xian: "General Li is afraid that he has forgotten Sui Yang and Wuhou Lu Gongyou, you must know that Wuhou has already defeated Nurhari, at most twenty days, he can return to the court, as long as he survives these twenty days, then Zhao Sui will not be able to turn over the wind and waves no matter what." ”

Li Xian snorted: "Old Xiangguo, admit it below, that Lu Gongyou has some ability, but, there is a good saying, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, even if he is still in the court, but there are no soldiers under him, how can he be Zhao Sui's opponent, this point, Lao Xiangguo should know better than me." ”

Since ancient times, literature is important, and martial arts are light, and this saying is correct everywhere.

No, Li Xian felt that Lu Gongyou was just like that, and the reason why he had the name of Lu Invincible was just because of good luck, how much ability he could have.

I thought so, but if you let him have a showdown with Lu Gongyou, this guy will admit it.

And when Li Xian's words fell into the ears of Narcissus, the latter did not hate Li Xian.

After all, in Narcissus's heart, Lu Gongyou is invincible in the world, this is the signature and name that Lu Gongyou has played down over the years.

It's not a stinky fish and rotten shrimp that can be denied.

is as strong as the mighty king Helian is mighty, aren't they all defeated by Lu Gongyou's subordinates?

The grassland iron riders who have always been brave and ruthless, aren't they all experienced babies in Lu Gongyou's eyes?

Not to mention, the corpse of the Thirteen Rong in the Western Territory, who is proud of his death in battle and ashamed of being captured, is it still hot, you are a veteran ruffian who has mixed up by seniority, what qualifications do you have not to look at your father.

Narcissus thought so in his heart, and at the same time, he compared Wang Xiao, just such an eye is above the top, he thinks that the sky is the boss, he is the second child, doesn't he also admit that his father-in-law is the first in the world.

"General Li, okay, right and wrong, I have a conclusion in my heart, and I called you over today, not to let you quarrel in front of me."

Finally, the empress couldn't stand it anymore and spoke.

In her words, in her tone, there was inevitably a feeling of weakness that was difficult to hide.

When everyone heard this, they all hurriedly bowed their heads.

The empress raised her hand at Wang Xiaolai.

Wang Xiaolai didn't understand, the empress rolled her eyes, and said softly: "Help me up." ”

"Uh-oh."

Hurriedly helped the empress to get up, and Wang Xiaolai stood behind the empress obediently.

"Everyone has also worked hard, except for Lao Xiangguo and Fan Shangshu to stay, the rest, go back, remember, after you go back, don't talk nonsense, leak the matter, I will ask you." The empress said the back and directly changed her voice.

Li Xian and others bowed their heads: "Don't dare, don't dare." ”

"Go ahead."

When they heard this, they all turned away.

Wang Xiaolai looked at them and pointed at himself again: "Your Majesty, will I follow along?" ”

The empress glanced at him: "What do you say?" ”

"Oh, then I'll go back."

"Come back to me."

Wang Xiaolai: "···"

There were many useless people, and the empress sat directly on the ground and beckoned to everyone: "There are no outsiders here, sit down." ”

Liu Maolin and Fan Lin took a look, after all, they were not as casual as the empress, but sat on the ground with their knees bent.

Only then did they put their buttocks on their heels, and they saw Wang Xiaolai sitting cross-legged next to them, bending over, supporting his cheeks with his elbows, looking like a child listening to a book.

The two looked at each other, both of them were speechless, and they didn't think of themselves as outsiders, right?

The empress took a deep breath: "All of you present are people who have the same idea as me, I just figured it out, I have Lu Gong invincible, why not be afraid of that Zhao Sui." ”

Liu Maolin listened to it, and said in his heart, this is right.

"Your Majesty Shengming, there is Gong You, just one Zhao Sui, naturally he is not an opponent, not to mention, His Majesty has another person to help, with this person, even if he adds the grassland people, he is not Sui Yang's opponent." As he spoke, the old man set his eyes on Wang Xiaolai.

Wang Xiaolai: "··· See what I'm doing? You can't expect me to go to war, right? First of all, I'm not going. ”

The empress shook her head speechlessly: "Old Xiangguo, just a little Laizi, forget it, he is so afraid of death, and he will drag the oil bottle when he goes." ”

When the empress said this, Wang Xiaolai was not only angry, but on the contrary, he couldn't stop nodding: "That's it, Your Majesty still understands me." ”

Liu Maolin stroked his beard and said with a mysterious expression: "Your Majesty, what the old minister said is not to let Wang Shizhong lead troops to fight, but to refer to the treasure left in the Echo Valley by Wang Shizhong, how did Your Majesty forget this." ”

Sure enough, as soon as Liu Maolin said it, the empress said at the time: "Yes, how did I forget, little Laizi." ”

There is no need to remind, Wang Xiaolai naturally knew that they were talking about hot air balloons and gunpowder, but at the moment, these two big killers were far from being able to enter the battle, so he had to tell the truth: "That Your Majesty, that thing can't fight in actual combat now, I'm afraid it won't be able to help much." ”

The empress coughed twice: "It's okay, after all, it's not time to use them yet, anyway, now there is Lu Gong, you can get ready." ”

"Come on."

The empress then raised her head, looked at Fan Lin, who had been confused since she talked about Echo Valley just now, and said, "Fan Shangshu, I have one thing that I have to bother you to do. ”

Fan Lin clenched his fists: "Please advise Your Majesty." ”

The empress said: "Qingzhou is next to Sizhou, between Sizhou and the north, here, the geographical location is very important. I'm worried that Zhao Sui may attack here, so I want to trouble Fan Shangshu to go to Qingzhou in person and help me sit in Qingzhou, I don't know, what does Fan Shangshu think? ”

No matter what, Fan Lin is also a child of a family born in Qingzhou, let him manage and supervise Qingzhou, the empress felt that it was still feasible, so she decided to let Fan Lin take on this task.

At that moment, Fan Lin stood up: "Minister, I will live up to Your Majesty's trust, but." ”

The empress asked, "Just what?" ”

Fan Lin said: "The ministers are in Beijing, and they are also troubled by His Majesty to help take care of them. ”

The empress pursed her lips, looked at Fan Lin faintly, and then nodded: "Okay." ”

Fan Lin's meaning, the empress didn't know, he was showing loyalty to himself in disguise, that meaning, it couldn't be more obvious, my family stayed in Beijing, and I would never do anything sorry for Your Majesty.

The empress understands the truth.

"Besides, little Laizi, I still need you to do something."

After arranging Fan Lin, the empress said to Wang Xiaolai again.

"Your Majesty, you say."

"Zhao Suijin forced Tongguan, it's only a matter of time, but at the moment, Tongguan lacks a general to guard, so..." Before the empress finished speaking, Wang Xiaolai interrupted her: "Your Majesty, do you plan to let me go to Tongguan?" I can't do it, I don't have much experience in leading troops to fight or something, and I can't fight Zhao Sui's fox at all. ”

The empress barely cheered up, and laughed: "You just want to go, I don't dare to let you go, don't worry, I mean, you helped Ning Shiguang out of the prison anyway, or give him another fame?" You go and ask him, Tongguan guard, whether he intends to take the position. ”

Wang Xiaolai breathed a sigh of relief: "Hey, I was scared to death, I thought it was for me to go." ”

Empress: "···"

"And Lao Xiangguo." Don't continue to talk poorly with Wang Xiaolai, the empress turned her head to Liu Maolin and said.

Liu Maolin nodded and waited for the empress to follow.

"Zhao Sui broke the eastern capital and approached Tongguan, it will definitely not take long to spread to Daxing City, I believe that at this time, at the junction of Sizhou and Yuzhou, it has already been spread, how to appease the people, it depends on the old Xiangguo." Empress Dao.

Liu Maolin hugged his fists and said: "Obey the order, the old minister will live up to expectations." ”

After the three of them finished instructing, the empress sighed: "Last night, I had sent the book to Yongliang to inform Lu Gong, Lu Gong received the letter, give up the baggage and light equipment and return, day and night, at least ten days, at most fifteen days, you can rush back, which is equivalent to saying that as long as there is no mistake in these days, then the overall situation has been decided." ”
