When Sima Hongyan claimed to be a "little person", Shi Jinyan and Ban Lingruo couldn't help but show a smile on their faces, but they couldn't help but let others see it. Xiao Hongying didn't hide it in the slightest, and laughed out loud directly.

Sima Hongyan pretended not to see it and said: "Later, I thought about it for a while, I think Dongning must have planted a lot of spies in Yanling, and even I suspect that even the inner courtyard of the palace, my side, and my sisters' side have been arranged by them. ”

Everyone didn't understand what Sima Hongyan meant, but no one asked, and they all listened quietly to her as she continued.

Sima Hongyan said: "The matter of the Hongyan Women's Army is actually already known to Dongning!" Saying that, he said to Shi Jinyan: "Do you remember the man in black who spied on us that night? ”

Shi Jinyan was slightly startled and said, "Could it be that Dongning sent it?" ”

Sima Hongyan nodded and said, "That's right!" I have already personally acknowledged this with Lan Aoxin. In other words, during the period when Dongning people participated in the Five Nations Competition in Yanling, relevant information had begun to be transmitted to Dongning uninterruptedly. This also shows that the purpose of Dongning to participate in the Five Nations Competition is not entirely for this competition, but also a more important goal is to find out the reality of Yanling's national strength. ”

Nanfeng Guying said: "In that case, the people of Dongning are really not simple, with the invitation of Yanling in the Five Nations Competition, they can touch the information of Yanling in such a short time!" Then their spy strength is extraordinary! ”

Sima Hongyan said: "No! I think that the Dongning spies who were ambushed in Yanling may have been planted in Yanling a long time ago, and the lurking time must not be short. It's just that Dongning and Yanling are thousands of miles apart, and the news is inconvenient to transmit, plus these spies are usually careful to hide their identities, so there are many news that cannot be delivered to Dongning in the first time. However, the Five Nations Competition is a good opportunity for Dongning people to enter Yanling in a bright and bright manner, so that they have the opportunity to contact the spies, and the news will be passed back together. ”

Guo Zidi said at this time: "I don't understand, is Dongning just planting secret agents in Yanling?" In addition to Yanling, they are also close to the two countries of Beiling and Nanyi, I'm afraid these two countries will not be spared, right? ”

Sima Hongyan said: "There must be, but it won't be as great as the power against Yan Ling!" Seeing that Guo Zidi was a little unconvinced, Sima Hongyan said: "If Dongning plans to seize the world, it will definitely start with Yanling first." ”

Guo Zidi said: "This is not necessarily, if it were me, I would start with Beiling first." If you talk about national strength and military strength, Beiling is still the weakest and has the greatest chance of winning. ”

Sima Hongyan said: "No, if you take the lead in sending troops against Beiling, Dongning will definitely not be able to defeat it." ”

Nanfeng Lonely Shadow listened with great interest, and interjected, "Why?" ”

Sima Hongyan glanced at him and said, "The situation in this world has not changed for hundreds of years, and the relationship between the five countries has always been in an unclear situation. And Yanling is located in the four countries, and the resources are also the most abundant countries, if it weren't for Yanling's strong war, I'm afraid Yanling would have become history a long time ago, and it was divided by the other four countries, right? ”

Ban Lingruo said: "My sister is right, there have often been wars in the Sifang border pass of Yanling over the years, and it is because of the constant interference of the four countries that the development of Yanling has been hindered and the national strength has declined." Otherwise, we wouldn't have organized this five-nation competition. ”

Sima Hongyan said: "Imagine if the four countries really honestly give Yanling a chance for ten years of peaceful development, with Yanling's rich materials and population development, then what other country can compete with Yanling in ten years?" I'm afraid that even if the other four countries don't want to make trouble at that time, Yanling will have to clean them up. ”

Nanfeng Lonely Shadow said: "Girl, you still haven't answered my question?" ”

Sima Hongyan smiled and said: "First of all, Beiling is located in a bitter cold land, and it is not beneficial to Dongning to take it down, on the contrary, it is completely meaningless to send another army to control it." Besides, if the army is sent to Beiling, then Yanling will naturally be able to understand Dongning's purpose, how can he sit idly by? Troops will inevitably be sent to support Beiling. Similarly, Nanyi also has this explanation, so it is most reasonable to attack Yanling. ”

Guo Zidi said: "Since that's the case, isn't Dongning afraid that Beiling and Nanyi will send troops to help us when the time comes?" ”

Sima Hongyan said: "Guo Gongzi, why do you say there is a war between the five countries?" Who will fight a battle without good? It not only loses troops and consumes money and food, and the emperor is not stupid, and he will never do anything that wastes national strength in vain. Dongning, Beiling, and Nanyi have no interests in each other, but they are all eyeing Yanling. I guess that once Dongning launches a war against Yanling, it must first unite Nanyi and Beiling, as long as Dongning does it to let Nanyi contain Xiyue, let Beiling sit by, and then divide the resources obtained by the three families equally, then do you say that Nanyi and Beiling will not be moved? ”

Nanfeng Lone Shadow said: "That's right! Wars are naturally fought in order to seize more resources and wealth in order to satisfy greater greed and desire. Dongning is close to the sea, the south is different from the forest, the north is bitter and cold, and the west is more barbaric, only Yanling is the largest piece of fat meat, and the most valuable to grab. ”

Sima Hongyan responded: "Yes, in terms of military and wealth, Yanling is the most blessed among the five countries, who doesn't want to take the richest place in the world as their own, so if you have more money and expose it, you will definitely attract thieves, and this truth will not change at any time!" ”

Shi Jinyan said: "Over the years, Dongning has vigorously developed the military, and our Yanling has been effectively contained, thinking that they are worried that Yanling has reached the limit of patience. ”

Sima Hongyan said: "Let's go back to the matter of arresting me, the purpose of my proposal to build a women's army was to protect Yanling in another way, and I also publicly proposed this idea above the court at the beginning, so it is not surprising that other countries know about it." If the construction of the women's army matures and starts to play a role, it will inevitably have a certain impact on other countries, and may even destroy their long-term plans, so it is inevitable to stop me in time and learn the secrets of the women's army from me. ”

Gu Junxi listened to it for a long time without speaking, and then couldn't help asking, "What is the role of your female army?" Why did it cause such a big reaction from Dongning? Why are they so jealous of a team of women? ”

Without waiting for Sima Hongyan to speak, Nanfeng Guying patted Gu Junxi's shoulder and smiled: "Gu Gongzi, I'm afraid we shouldn't ask this question!" The less you know about the things that involve the imperial court, the better. ”

Reminded by Nanfeng Lonely Shadow, Gu Junxi immediately understood that he had lost his words, and hurriedly apologized: "The leader of the Nanfeng Alliance is right, I have talked too much, forgive my sins!" Forgiveness! ”

Sima Hongyan smiled thanksgivingly at Nanfeng Guying and said, "This matter is not that I deliberately concealed it, but because I promised the emperor not to disclose it to the public, so please understand." ”

Nanfeng Guying smiled: "Now I understand why Dongning kidnapped the girl, it turns out that they are afraid of you, afraid that you will let their plans for so many years be in vain." After all, they have endured it for so many years because they are afraid of General Sima, and Miss Sima has amazing behavior, there has always been a tiger father and no dog girl, in case the girl's female army can really destroy the plans of various countries for several years, I am afraid that I will also attack you, girl! To say something that offends the girl, if you can't be used by me, then I'd rather get rid of you! ”

Sima Hongyan smiled: "That's right! ”

Hearing the words of Nanfeng Lonely Shadow, Yan Hong, who was sitting in the corner on the side, suddenly had a glint in his eyes.

Sima Hongyan and the others didn't notice Yan Hong's abnormality, Sima Hongyan said to everyone at this time: "Since I've said this, then tell me how you found me, I'm very curious." Dongning's deployment can be regarded as a careful anomaly, so you can find traces, if you don't tell me today, I guess I won't be able to sleep well! ”

Everyone was amused by Sima Hongyan's words, and Nanfeng Lone Shadow said: "I'm afraid it's better for Miss Xiao to talk about this matter first!" ”

Unexpectedly, Nanfeng Lone Shadow actually called Xiao Hongying's name, Sima Hongyan looked at Xiao Hongying beside him curiously, with a look of surprise.

Being watched by everyone at the same time, Xiao Hongying was a little embarrassed, she laughed dryly twice, and said with some twist: "Actually, it's nothing!" ”
