On the Yongliang battlefield on the front line, with corpses everywhere, Lu Gongyou once again defeated Nurhari and completely annihilated Nurhari's army in Liangzhou.

and on the battlefield where the smoke of gunpowder was ignited, Lu Gongyou stood in the snow with a complicated expression, looking at the snow melted by blood, with a lot of doubts in his heart.

Ten days ago, why did Nurhari, who should have been on the defensive, take the initiative to attack himself?

At first, Lu Gongyou thought that Nurhari had secretly mobilized the 70,000 defenders of Yongzhou to have a decisive battle with him, but after several tentative attacks, Lu Gongyou found that Nurhari hadn't even sent a single reinforcement?

He was still one of those remnants of the defeated army, but he directly rode his face and began to be fierce.

Knowing Nurhari's details, Lu Gongyou naturally let go of his hands to fight, gathered 40,000 foot soldiers, and completely annihilated Nurhari's only remaining 13,000 cavalry in Liangzhou.

But just run, Lu Gongyou has no other better way, no matter what, that Nurhari is also the ninth master of the heavenly list, he wants to go, who can stop him?

Just as he was looking down and thinking, Liu Mianyi helped Shen Xiping to walk in front of Lu Gongyou.

Seeing the two of them, Lu Gongyou shouted.

The two turned around, knelt down in front of Lu Gongyou, and shouted at the same time: "Master Hou." ”

Lu Gongyou lowered his head and swept the wounds on Shen Xiping's left arm and chest, and asked, "Are you okay?" ”

Shen Xiping grinned: "Master Hou, don't worry, they are all minor injuries, and they will recover in a few days, so as not to delay the next battle." ”

Lu Gongyou snorted and hooked his hand at Shen Xiping: "You come, I have something to tell you." ”

Shen Xiping looked at Liu Mianyi in wonder, and the latter also shook his head to indicate that he didn't know, so he got up, leaving Shen Xiping alone with Lu Gongyou.

"Shen Xiping, did you send a letter to Daxing City a few days ago?" Lu Gongyou pondered for a moment and opened his mouth to ask.

Shen Xiping nodded: "What's the matter, Master Hou?" Why do you ask this? ”

Lu Gongyou said: "That's right, in the past twenty days, none of the envoys I sent to Daxing City to deliver the letter have returned, and I suspect that something is likely to have happened to them on the way." ”

"Maybe Your Majesty left them behind, Master Hou, you are too careful."

Lu Gongyou shook his head: "No, even if Your Majesty leaves them, then they should send another sentry horse to send a reply, I think, this is the enemy deliberately cutting off our channel." ”

Shen Xiping was taken aback: "Really? ”

Lu Gongyou nodded: "So, I need your help to write down everything that happened in these days in detail and send it to Daxing City." ”

Shen Xiping pondered carefully for a while, and then nodded: "Cheng, this matter is on me." ”

Lu Gongyou patted Shen Xiping's shoulder when he heard this, and said, "Okay, I've worked hard for you, let's go down to heal first." ”

"Then Master Hou, I'll leave first."

"Well, go ahead."

Here Shen Xiping left, Lu Gongyou looked back in the direction of Daxing City, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he muttered unconsciously: "It's strange, why, I always feel that something bad is going to happen?" ”

Thinking of this, Lu Gongyou hurriedly shook his head, threw out the bad thoughts in his mind, and said with a smile: "Really, the enemy is now, I'm thinking about something." ”

···

It was just night, and the backyard of Wang Xiaolai's Foxconn store was called a lively one.

There are more than ten people in the forest, all gathered together for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and all kinds of delicacies proposed by Wang Xiaolai were served on the table, and on the wine table, everyone drank and chatted, so uncomfortable.

Except for the red fragrance that makes you dizzy when you see wine, don't you see that no matter who you are, don't you drink it upside down?

Even the two children, the little parrot and the second stunned child, slapped the wine table and shouted for wine.

After three rounds of drinking, Wang Xiaolai patted his belly and smiled, walked down drunk, and asked the hammer to take out all the artillery battles that had been prepared, he held the fire fold in his hand, looked at everyone with a smile, and introduced: "This thing, called firecrackers in my hometown, is used to drive away the New Year beasts, and this must be put in the New Year." ”

The drunken people below still asked with their tongues open, "My lord, what is the Nian Beast?" ”

Wang Xiaolai laughed: "The year beast is the year beast, what else can it be, come, don't talk nonsense, watch the adults and I will fire the cannon." ”

Zhou Yi, who was invited over, also laughed: "Stay out of the way, stay out of the way, I tried to put two with the adults in the afternoon, like thunder." ”

Wang Xiaolai snorted, the fire fold ignited the fuse, and then threw the fire fold in his hand.

Throw, throw out...

"My lord, my lord, I threw it wrong, I threw it wrong!!"

It was still a little parrot with sharp eyes, reaching out and shouting loudly in a sharp voice.

was reminded like this, Wang Xiaolai also reacted, shouted and came to a position of throwing a shot put, and then saw the cannon fly to the table in the middle of the backyard.

Zhou Yi parrot: "!! ”

The rest: "??? ”

Seeing that the artillery battle was blown up, at the critical moment, there was a sound of breaking the air outside the door, and then, a flying knife pierced the artillery battle, and with it, it flew in the air, and then everyone heard a muffled thunder above their heads, and the smell of sulfuric acid and saltpeter wafted throughout the courtyard.

"My lord, where are you throwing it?"

A group of complaints, Wang Xiaolai waved his hand awkwardly: "What, the hand is born, the hand is born, the hand is born, and it will definitely be changed next time." ”

"Come back!"

"Hey, wasn't that a pure mistake just now, by the way, who threw the knife just now?" As he spoke, Wang Xiaolai looked back, wanting to see who was helping.

It was only when the head turned around that he could see clearly who the person who threw the knife just now was.

"Camellia? How are you? ”

Yes, the person who came was Camellia, one of the leaders of the dark guard under the empress.

Camellia, who has always been silent, still maintained her usual style, walked up to Wang Xiaolai, and said, "Lord Wang, Your Majesty is invited." ”

Wang Xiaolai looked at the sky and night, it was all at this point, what was the empress still looking for herself, she didn't understand at the time, so she asked what happened to the camellia.

Camellia shook his head and said without saying a word: "I don't know this, I just know that Your Majesty invited you into the palace." ”

Hongxiang and the others all came up to ask what was wrong, and they were noisy and unclear.

In the end, it was Wang Xiaolai who waved his hand: "It's all quiet, it's quiet, maybe Your Majesty is looking for something about me, I'll come back when I go, don't spoil the artillery battles in the house, wait for me to come back." ”

With that, Wang Xiaolai turned around and went with Camellia, out of the backyard, and went in the direction of Daxing City.

Walking on the road, Wang Xiaolai looked at the quiet long street on the left and right, and wondered in his heart, and asked Camellia: "In this Chinese New Year's Eve, why is there no one on the street?" ”

Camellia does not speak.

Wang Xiaolai asked again: "Is there still a curfew today?" Isn't it supposed to be lively, what's going on? I'll have to talk to Your Majesty. ”

Camellia still didn't speak, just quickened his pace.

After the two of them entered, the palace gate was closed directly.

Wang Xiaolai also looked back and asked Camellia who was walking in front: "Usually I remember that this point has not yet reached the time to close the noon gate, what is going on today?" ”

Camellia remained silent, and in the end, Wang Xiaozi was bored, and muttered a sentence How are you like a dumb person.

All the way to Shou'an Palace, that is, the empress's bedroom, when Wang Xiao came, before entering the door, he smelled a fragrance wafting from inside.

"What's going on?" Wang Xiaolai wondered in his heart.

Follow Camellia forward, and when he arrived at the door, Camellia knocked on the open door and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Wang brought it." ”

In the room where he was talking and laughing, the empress's voice came: "Let him in." ”

Camellia turned around and made a gesture of please.

Entering the door with doubts, Wang Xiaolai saw that there were five people sitting in the room, in addition to the empress, there were also the Eight Sages King, Liu Maolin, Zhao Liwen and another Wang Xiaolai who was not very familiar, but had also seen both sides of Wen Hou Tianxing.

At this time, the five people were at the table, and the table was full of wine and food, and after seeing Wang Xiaolai, the empress also waved and smiled: "Xiao Laizi, here, come to the table, I'll send you." ”

Wang Xiaolai looked puzzled, and was curious: "This, this is a palace dinner?" ”
