"Yes, I also want to know Lu Dao, where did the emperor come into contact with this mysterious power, or who could harm him in such a way." Wan Dong groaned.

"The reason for all this, I'm afraid only the emperor knows the Tao. I'm afraid that there are too many secrets involved, and the emperor refuses to say it. Xu Wenchuan said.

"In this world, who can really keep a secret except the dead? What I'm afraid of is that even the emperor himself doesn't know what this mysterious power of the Dao will appear in his body. ”

"Wouldn't it? Is this possible? Xu Wenchuan asked with surprise.

Wan Dong smiled: "What's impossible about this? Even Grandpa Sun and I couldn't understand what this mysterious power that existed in the emperor's body was, let alone the emperor himself. ”

Xu Wenchuan thought about it carefully, and suddenly felt that Wan Dong's suspicion was not unreasonable. Just imagine, if the emperor really knows the Tao, who harmed him, and after he recovers, how can he not take revenge?

"It seems that even your grandfather Sun doesn't know that the life vitality of Emperor Lu Dao has suffered a great loss, and there is only one year of longevity left. Otherwise, he would not have announced so excitedly in front of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs that the emperor's illness had been cured. ”

"I don't know what to do! After all, the loss of life vitality is not something that can be detected by the means of mortal doctors. ”

"But why don't you tell him?" Xu Wenchuan asked.

Wan Dong smiled and said, "What is there to say?" Having said that, it will only make Grandpa Sun more troubled. ”

After hearing this, Xu Wenchuan nodded slightly. With his understanding of Sun Daobai, if he really knew this, he would definitely rack his brains and try his best to treat the emperor. But even Wan Dong has no way, what can he come up with? In the end, as Wan Dong said, it just added to his troubles in vain.

"Yaoting, maybe you're right, this is the number of fate, and it can't be changed by the strength of our mortals. But Yaoting, although the emperor has been wary of our Xu family, and he is far less trusting than before, but the glory of our Xu family today is all given by him. In this life, people can't help but know how to be grateful. If you think of a way in the future, you still have to try to save the emperor. ”

This Xu Wenchuan, just said in front that this is a fate, and mortals can't change it, but in the back, he hopes that Wandong can find a way to save Bai Zhenshan. It's hard to say that in Xu Wenchuan's eyes, Wan Dong is no longer a mortal?

Wan Dong nodded with a wry smile and said, "If you don't save you when you die, it's not the style of our Xu family, of course your grandson won't let grandpa shame you." If there is really a way in the future, the grandson should do his best! ”

"Good! It is worthy of my Xu Wenchuan's grandson! Xu Wenchuan was so happy that he drank a full cup of it.

Putting the wine glass down, Xu Wenchuan said with a somewhat bitter expression, "But what has bothered me in recent days is not the emperor's attitude towards our Xu family, but the emperor's attitude towards the Tiezhan Dynasty." ”

"Oh?" Wan Dong's brows immediately furrowed, compared to how long Bai Zhenshan could live, Bai Zhenshan's strategy against the Iron War Dynasty was more interesting to Wan Dong. Because, Bai Zhenshan's attitude will, to a large extent, determine the fate of hundreds of millions of people in Tiandu Kingdom.

With the power of the Tiandu Kingdom alone, it is absolutely impossible to compete with the Iron War Dynasty. Only by uniting with the Qingyun Empire can there be vitality, and Wan Dong has already seen this clearly.

"Looking at the emperor's meaning, he intends to adopt a policy of appeasement and compromise against the Tiezhan Dynasty......"

"Huh? How can that work! This is raising tigers for trouble! ”

is really afraid of something, for Wan Dong, this is tantamount to a bolt from the blue. Without the Qingyun Empire as a support, the fall of the capital that day may only be a matter of time. Thinking that his relatives in his hometown were about to be ravaged by the Tiezhan Dynasty, how could Wan Dong be excited, how could he not be angry?

"That's true, but the emperor has his reasons for doing this. In the past few years, the government has been controlled by Qiu Wanli, and under his perverse actions, the national strength has greatly declined, far less than before, and all kinds of problems and contradictions have emerged one after another, and there are many like cows. In such a situation, it is undoubtedly not a wise move to start a war against the strong Iron War Dynasty. The emperor thought that the top priority at the moment should be to recuperate, and as for the Tiezhan Dynasty, when the national strength is restored, it will be slowly planned. ”

"Slowly? Hum! I'm afraid this is whimsical! By the time the Qingyun Empire's national strength was restored, the Tiezhan Dynasty had already risen in full swing and was unstoppable. At that time, what else can you do except obediently bow down to others? Picture a fart! ”

The more Wan Dong spoke, the more excited he became, and when he arrived, even the swear words burst out.

"Grandpa, this is what the emperor means, what about the meaning of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs?"

"About two-thirds of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty agreed with the emperor's intentions, and He Zhen was the most resolute. I, Hu Jingqi, as well as your master Wu Daozi and some other ministers, advocate giving the Tiezhan Dynasty a little color. If we blindly compromise and retreat, the Tiezhan Dynasty will definitely lack people's hearts and have to make inch, and at that time, even if we want to restore our national strength, it is just imagination! ”

"That's it! If we want to restore our national strength, we must first have a stable and stable environment! But a stable and stable environment cannot be obtained by compromise and concession. As the emperor, doesn't he even understand this simple and easy-to-understand truth? And He Zhen's gang are all straw bales at all, but they are just blindly flattering! ”

"Yes! The ambitions of the Iron War Dynasty are getting bigger and bigger! Yaoting, do you know the way, the day before yesterday, there was information that Wan Haoxiong had been defending Jinge City for several months, and finally a few days ago, he was broken by Xuan Feng. ”

"What did you say!?" Xu Wenchuan's words were like a muffled thunder, which exploded in Wan Dong's ears, and he was dizzy and his mind was blank.

"Yaoting, what's wrong with you?" Wan Dong's abnormal performance surprised Xu Wenchuan and Ning Shan.

Wan Dong didn't care about explaining at this time, and asked anxiously in his voice, "Grandpa, are you telling the truth?" Is Jingo City really breached? That...... What happened to General Marriott? ”

Although Xu Wenchuan didn't understand why Wan Dong was so excited, he still replied truthfully, "Jinge City has indeed been breached, but General Wan Haoxiong is in danger, leading most of the army and some of the people of Jinge City to withdraw from Jinge City safely, and now retreat to Qingfeng City." ”

"In other words, General Marriott is safe?" Wan Dong let out a long breath and asked.

Xu Wenchuan couldn't help laughing and said, "Yaoting, you seem to be very concerned about this General Wan." ”

Wan Dong hurriedly said, "General Wan is a famous general who shocks the entire Dongxuan Continent, and I admire him very much. ”

Xu Wenchuan nodded and said, "What you said is good!" Marriott is indeed not an ordinary person, and even I admire him a lot. General Wan was safe and sound, but the people who did not withdraw from Jinge City suffered a lot. After Xuan Feng led the army into Jinge City, he actually ordered the city to be slaughtered for three days, and the people in Jinge City suffered heavy casualties. A prosperous border city has become a hell on earth in one day! ”

"Bastard! This brute! Xu Wenchuan himself didn't know what to say, and the words he said were like an invisible knife stabbing at Wan Dong's heart. The irrepressible anger spread like a raging fire wrapped in a raging wind. A hardwood dining table turned into fly ash under Wan Dong's palm, along with the dishes and tea sets on the table. Ning Shan was taken aback.

Realizing his gaffe, Wan Dong looked at Ning Shan apologetically and said, "Mother, I'm sorry, I ...... just now"

Ning Shan shook her head and said with a smile, "My son is full of justice, as a mother, I am very happy!" ”

Xu Wenchuan snorted and said, "Yaoting, don't say it's you, even when I first heard the news, I was extremely angry!" Xuanfeng is too vicious. Count the cities that they have breached, and there will be no one that will not be slaughtered with blood. In the entire Dongxuan Continent, the innocent people who died at his hands are more than millions? ”

"If this person doesn't die, how can heaven exist!?" Wan Dong gritted his teeth and let out a roar, his hatred for Xuanfeng was not inferior to that of Li Baiyi at all.

"Grandpa, Jin Gecheng doesn't dare to say that it is impregnable, under the defense of General Wan, it is also impregnable. How did this Xuanfeng break through Jinge City? The anger in his heart calmed down a little, and Wan Dong opened his mouth to ask Xu Wenchuan.

Xu Wenchuan sighed and said, "This strongest fortress is often broken through from the inside. The reason why Jinge City was breached was because of a traitor from the Tiandu Kingdom. ”

"Traitor!?" Wan Dong's eyes widened suddenly.

"Not bad! This traitor is none other than Duan Xuan, the city lord of Jinge City! This person, secretly colluded with Xuanfeng, opened the gate of Jinge City at night, and let Xuanfeng's army enter the city, which caused Jinge City to be defeated! ”

"Duan Xuan!?"

Wan Dong is no stranger to this person, and he has had several encounters. This person has a simple appearance, but he didn't expect that this person would become a traitor to the Tiandu Kingdom.

"After this Xuan surrendered to Xuanfeng, it is said that it was reused. Xuanfeng attaches great importance to it, and now the official is high-ranking and jue-sen, as if he has become the upstart of the Tiezhan Dynasty. ”

"If this man falls into my hands one day, I will let him die a good death!" Thinking that the hundreds of people in Jinge City suffered a catastrophe because of this person, Wan Dong gritted his teeth with hatred.

Xu Wenchuan also didn't take it to heart because Wan Dong was just a momentary indignation, nodded and said, "A traitor like this is indeed punished by everyone!" ”

"Grandpa, the Tiandu Kingdom is the gateway to our Qingyun Empire, if it falls into the hands of the Tiezhan Dynasty, they will be able to attack as much as they want, retreat as they want, and come and go freely, which will be very disadvantageous to us! I still think that the Qingyun Empire must show its posture and form an alliance with the Tiandu Kingdom, and must not sit idly by and watch the Tiandu Kingdom fall into the hands of the Iron War Dynasty! ”

"I think so too! But looking at the emperor's meaning, it seems that he has already made a decision, but I am afraid that he will not be able to return to heaven. Xu Wenchuan sighed and said with a worried face.
