While talking, a tall man came up at the top of the stairs, and the two of them stopped talking when they saw him looking at each other, burying their heads low, until the person went straight to the third floor, the two raised their heads, and the thin man pouted and raised his eyebrows and said, "People are now the top celebrities", and the sour taste in his tone came out.

The person who came was none other than Pei Jing, one of the right-hand men of Shao Xianzhi, a big celebrity in Chujing recently. Shao Xianzhi's person appeared in the court of Da Chu as if he fell from the sky, and the emperor entrusted him with a heavy task, but no one knew where this person came from, did not know what identity this person was, and did not know how to gain the emperor's trust, but in just five days, the second grade of the official appointment has become a fact, and everyone has to stammer flattery, and now Prime Minister Liu is not there, the general mansion of the Chu family, the palace of Anwangfu, is suddenly missing two famous families, the court is suddenly deserted, and the eldest son and second son of Prime Minister Liu are also sent to other places by the emperor, gradually moving away from the political center of the imperial court. The sudden appearance of such a person, most people firmly believe that this is the new backer. Some people say that this Shao Xianzhi was the ghost-faced man before the emperor, and he turned to the stage from behind the mask, so he was trusted by the emperor, and some people say that Shao Xianzhi was the personal guard of Chu Beige before, and he turned to the emperor to become a high-ranking official, but anyway, people are now celebrities, and the cronies around him are also rising with the tide, and one of them is Pei Jing.

Coincidentally, this Pei Jing was originally in Dali Temple, and the thin man and the big-eyed man obeyed the orders of Shaoqing of Dali Temple, the day after King Anjun fled to Chujing, a tall man appeared in front of Pei Jing, it was Shao Xianzhi, he didn't say anything, only asked: "Are you willing to follow me?" "Such a good thing, Pei Jing is naturally a hundred willing, plus he is sleek and clever on weekdays, and soon he will be known as Shao Xianzhi's right-hand man together with Qin Shengying, and this Qin Shengying is the same as Shao Xianzhi, a person who suddenly appeared, no one knows the identity, no one knows the origin.

"You say, what kind of shit luck did this Pei Jing step on, everyone was originally on an errand in Dali Temple, how could he turn a pheasant into a phoenix?" The thin man held up the wine glass and looked at the wine inside, as if he was asking someone or talking to himself.

The big-eyed man thought for a while, lowered his voice and whispered: "You say, could it be because of King Anjun's matter, I heard that when King Anjun left, Pei Jing also made a great contribution."

Hearing him say this, the thin man also came to his senses and said: "I heard that Shao Xianzhi is the leader of the ghost-faced people around the emperor, I don't know if the two have anything to do with each other?" ”

Shaking their heads, the two of them drank all the wine in their glasses, looked down at the platform downstairs, and the dancing girl came out, and her swaying posture made people think about it.

And upstairs at this moment, in an inconspicuous room, several people in uniform are cautiously discussing something.

"100,000 troops have been sent to the border of the Yangtze River, if the problem on Nanzhao's side is solved as soon as possible, then Na Chu Beige and others can be annihilated in one fell swoop," Pei Jing said respectfully.

The man didn't have any expression, he didn't turn his head with his back, he was quiet for a while, and said lightly: "The matter of Nanzhao is not something we can decide, let's listen to the emperor's orders."

"Yes"

"There have been a lot of rumors in the city recently, you can watch and deal with it, and deal with the affairs in the camp for me, and be ready to send troops at any time."

Pei Jing glanced up and asked tentatively, "What if Nanzhao's side doesn't talk properly?" ”

"Whether there is Nanzhao or not, it has nothing to do with us in essence, for Da Chu, having Nanzhao is the icing on the cake, but for us, without the assistance of Nanzhao is our first day", deep eyes, there are flashes of sparkling.

"...... over there of King Xuan's son"

"A waste, don't pay too much attention to it, but the person who is King Xuan, be extra careful"

"That's the prince of Xuanwang After all, he is the son-in-law of Mingguang, the general of Nanzhao Protectorate, how many ......"

"If it weren't for this relationship, we're afraid we wouldn't even have the day to come out" The man glanced at Pei Jing, and said: "I, Shao Xianzhi, can have today, I really don't know whether to thank Prince An or thank Prince Xuan."

Pei Jing echoed: "General Shao is resourceful, and it is not surprising that he can have today's achievements."

When he came out of Shao Xianzhi's room, Pei Jing glanced at the two people who were drinking in the private room on the second floor, chuckled with disdain on his face, and then walked downstairs quickly.

In the Great Chu Palace on the other side, Chu Enze's hand holding the secret letter trembled slightly, and after looking at it for a while, he slapped it heavily on the table, and said to Gonggong Li: "Go and call Shao Xianzhi to me."

Shao Xianzhi came quickly, and in less than half a cup of tea, the person was already standing in front of him, Chu Enze threw the secret letter in his hand and said, "Look at it, this is from Nanzhao."

Shao Xianzhi took the secret letter, looked at it for a while, looked up at Chu Enze with some embarrassment, and said, "Nanzhao is a little too self-righteous to prescribe such conditions."

"Hmph, if it weren't for the close proximity of Muyang and Nanzhao, you and I would care about them for me?" Chu Enze's tone was a little disdainful, but he also felt a hint of anger.

Shao Xianzhi lowered his head, saw that the emperor no longer spoke, and whispered: "Your Majesty, Muyang is only a mere 800,000 army, even if there is no help from other countries, we will only win and not lose in a full-strength battle."

"All the troops?" Chu Enze asked rhetorically, chuckled lightly and said, "There is Beirong eyeing it above, how credible is the alliance on the Western Xia side?" On the surface, it looks like we're on the safe side, but in reality we're not on the back."

Shao Xianzhi nodded and said, "Your Majesty, since we are united with Nanzhao, why don't we go and talk to Beirong?" ”

The emperor did not answer, and was silent for a while and said: "Go and transfer another 50,000 troops to the Yangtze River, and you remember to add 1,000 ghost face troops to me, and the existing ghost face army will send 500 people to the Yangtze River together."

"Yes" Shao Xianzhi responded, the emperor waved his hand and let him go out, looking at Shao Xianzhi's back, the emperor was inexplicably familiar, these people with masks, after a long time, the back seems to be easier to identify, and these people with masks, it may be that the mask has been worn for a long time, and even the expression is not rich, but the emperor did not see the curvature of the fleeting corners of Shao Xianzhi's mouth who turned out.

This summer in Chu Jing is still very hot, not a drop of rain has fallen for several months, and the twists and turns that have been passed up one after another are also reports of the disaster, Chu Enze looked at them one by one, his brows furrowed more and more.
