The emperor seemed to understand Nuoya's thoughts, and said with a wry smile: "I have warned Qing Xiu and his mother several times, but I didn't expect that in exchange for it, I will intensify my grudge against Qing Xun, and even use unscrupulous means. I didn't expect that he would have bad intentions and secretly do such a rebellious wrong thing!

You may think that I am ruthless and that I am biased. I admit that Qingchen is gifted and intelligent, and he is a rare talent for governing the world, and I look at him differently and have a lot of favoritism. But what I need to consider more is that my Great Chu country will last forever and will last forever.

Among the three children, only Qingchen can take on this important task. Where there is competition, there must be sacrifice, this is an eternal common sense. As a generation of emperors, the only thing I can do is to help Qingchen smooth out the difficulties and obstacles on the way forward in my lifetime, watch him ascend the throne as emperor, and stabilize his power. And as a father, I can also do my best to protect Da Chu from the suffering of war and chaos, save the lives of the two of them, and leave them a wealth in the world. ”

"It's all our own speculation, after all, there is no real evidence yet." Baili Jiu saw that the emperor's heart was gloomy, his face was old and gloomy, he couldn't bear it in his heart, and whispered comfort.

"When I have real evidence, I'm afraid it's too late." The emperor sighed, and his tone was full of bitterness.

Noah was puzzled, but didn't dare to ask.

"Xiao Jiu, you should also think that since they secretly created more than 20,000 weapons behind their backs. Then he must already have so many soldiers and horses, if not more. ”

One word woke up the person in the dream, Baili Jiu is a transparent person, and as soon as his heart was clear, he immediately became enlightened, understood what the emperor meant, and secretly hated himself for being short-sighted and unable to look at the overall situation. For a long time, he and Noya have been stubbornly entangled in who the person behind the pavilion master is, looking for conclusive evidence of the crime, and avenging Noah's family, but they have forgotten such an important thing, just like logging, they have been busy sweating for a long time, and they are just concentrating on cutting down the side details, putting the cart before the horse.

Since he is already suspicious of the third prince, and there is a chance that there is no evidence, is it important whether there is evidence? And more importantly, how to crush his plot! That's the fundamental! Thinking like this, Baili Jiu was covered in cold sweat. If more than 20,000 soldiers and horses really rioted, and then there were his people who should cooperate with each other inside and outside, and there was no need to conquer the city all the way, it would really be a big disaster for the people of Dachu!

"It's the sons and daughters who are superficial, abandon the basics, blindly chase the details, and ignore the fundamentals." Baili Jiu said ashamedly.

"It's not that you're superficial, Xiao Jiu, it's that you and Noah are pure-minded and don't have such ambitions." The emperor smiled lightly and glanced at Noah: "A few days ago, you were wronged at the gate of the city again. ”

Bailijiu was originally a little suspicious of Chu Qingchen's intentions, and after hearing the emperor's words, he became more and more convinced, he did deliberately cause his anger that day, and the two of them turned against each other in public, but what was the intention?

Noya said bluntly: "I don't understand what the emperor means. ”

The emperor put back a smile on his face, and his expression was a little lonely: "Even if he captures the Qing Xiu party, if he doesn't get rid of the anti-army, he will be in a big trouble in the end, after all, he is not the only one who covets my throne." What's more, I want to give Qing Xiu one last chance, to find the location of his soldiers and horses before he decides to rebel, and stop him from doing stupid things. As long as he doesn't have time to raise troops and do such a rebellious thing, I can save his life. ”

Tiger poison does not eat children, pity the hearts of parents all over the world, and it turns out that the emperor is no exception.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean, do you want me and Ah Jiu to explore the location of the three princes' soldiers and horses?" Noya Bingxue was smart, and immediately drew inferences from one case to another, and understood the emperor's thoughts.

The emperor nodded solemnly: "It is also my intention to seize Xiao Jiu's military power." Recently, you and Xiao Jiu have been sharp, and they have seized the weapons in Hanshan with lightning speed, and eliminated the Killer Pavilion in one fell swoop. caught him off guard, and recently he finally couldn't hold his breath and was a little ready to move. ”

"I'm afraid of what he will do, my capital is solid, are you still afraid of him with only 20,000 soldiers and horses?" Noah wondered, could something that could be solved by force be used with such a lot of effort?

The emperor smiled indifferently: "How do you know that he only has 20,000 soldiers and horses?" Moreover, after more than ten years of layout, there are many moths in the court, so you are not afraid that the guards of the capital will mix up his spies? What's more, how many lives have been ruined with the smoke of the beacon, this is something that I have to worry about as a generation of emperors. ”

Noya smiled embarrassedly: "The woman's opinion, the woman's opinion, the emperor didn't say it." ”

The emperor looked at her with a touch of appreciation between his eyebrows: "The tiger father has no dogs, but you are a woman who has inherited the heroic demeanor of the head of the Murong family, which is rare." This is also the blessing of the Baili family, and even my Dachu. ”

Noya was praised, and it was rare to show a little bit of a little daughter's posture: "The emperor praised it falsely." ”

The emperor shook his head: "I see all the skills of you and Xiao Jiu, but not to mention the strong martial arts and clear mind, Xiao Jiu is the descendant of Baili Mansion, and he is the only one in my Great Chu who can conquer the three armies without the Tiger Fu and with the prestige of Baili Mansion." And with you Murong Nuo Sasuke, whether Qing Xiu's soldiers and horses are hidden in the city or in the mountains, I believe that with the two of you, they will definitely live up to my expectations. It's none other than the two of you. ”

It's easy to say, as soon as the upper lip touches the lower lip, there is no clue now, the three princes are all over the world, and no matter where the two of them go, they are equivalent to a sword hanging over their heads, maybe if they are not careful, they will lose their lives. Sure enough, the first bird can't be deserved, and he blames himself for being sharp and taking care of too many idle things during this time.

Noya said with a sad face: "Now I have no clue, he has raised troops for so many days, and there are no flaws, where do we investigate?" ”

"Combined with the clues of the past, I believe that with your ingenuity, there will always be discoveries." The emperor rubbed his eyebrows tiredly: "If not, it's just that we have a false alarm, that's the best." ”

Baili Jiu pondered for a moment and said: "At that time, Huang Dexing and You Zhifu were suspicious, and they had the time and conditions to transport the cast weapons out of the mountain, but they were sealed in Handan Mountain in a hurry, and they took the risk of planning to store the weapons in the mausoleum of the Murong family, which is a bit suspicious.

We once guessed that at that time, the mountain road built in Hanshan led to the north and south, and went south to Henan County. If you go north through Baoding Mansion, you can reach the capital, but they did not go north, indicating that the rebel army is not north of Handan, and it is more likely to go south.

Moreover, the Killer Pavilion is located in Henan County, and the three princesses are from Jiangnan, is it possible that a large number of his soldiers and horses are hidden in the south of Henan, Jiangnan or Huguang? One day, waving troops to the north, Henan County has few garrisons, and there is a killer pavilion as an internal response, so there is no need to worry. And Handan City is the only way to enter Beijing, and replenishing weapons and equipment in this place can go straight to the capital. So in order to avoid any mistakes in the transportation process and expose the matter, the other party simply left the weapon in Handan City? ”

The emperor nodded approvingly: "If it's about brains, a few of them are not as fast as you, and in the future, the rivers and mountains of Dachu will have you and Qingchen, and I won't have to worry about it." ”

The emperor's sweet jujube is really sweet, so sweet that he can't help it if he doesn't want to give him his life. As the saying goes, under the nest, Ann has finished eggs, Nuoya understands this truth, if the three princes really rebel, Baili Mansion must be duty-bound, either the fish dies, or the net is broken. So Noya and Bailijiu must take on this responsibility.

"Then do we need to leave for Jiangnan immediately?" Noah asked.

The emperor shook his head: "Although Xiao Jiu has been removed from his military power, he will not relax his vigilance against you, so he can't act rashly and arouse his vigilance." What's more, now that I don't have a clue, and going south recklessly is tantamount to messing around, like looking for a needle in a haystack. You wait a few more days, as long as there is a clue, I will naturally give you an excuse to go to Jiangnan. And even if you have any clues about his collusion with the Killer Pavilion in Qing Xiu, don't continue to investigate him for the time being, don't push him too hard and make a desperate bet. ”

However, Ah Jiu now has no tiger talisman, and he is single-handed, even if he is aware of the location of the rebels, he can't do anything about it. You can't go back to the capital and ask for the dispatch of troops, right? Not to mention that the whip is out of reach, it is still unknown whether they will be able to escape from other people's territory at that time. ”

Noah slandered in his heart, before we give you our lives, we must first ensure that our lives are our own.

"The Tiger Talisman can't be given to you for the time being, which will make the other party take it lightly, not to mention, once you enter the thief's territory, the Tiger Talisman may not be useful. When the clues of the anti-army are verified, I will naturally give you the same tokens that can be transferred as appropriate. I'm just worried that Xiao Jiu will be dismissed by Qingchen for no reason, and I feel aggrieved, so I arranged to meet in advance and say hello to you. ”

Baili Jiu smiled nonchalantly: "The emperor also looked at me too carefully." ”

The emperor glanced at Noya and joked: "As long as it's about Noah, you don't seem to have a big heart, like a needle's eye." It's no wonder that a woman like Noya is not ordinary. ”

"Since the emperor knows Xiao Jiu's thoughts and likes Noya, then Xiao Jiu just asked you for a canonization decree today to give Noya a name, right? Wouldn't it be a pity if such a woman didn't marry back to our family quickly? ”

Noya couldn't help but be stunned, she didn't expect Baili Jiu to make such a canonization request for herself at such a serious time.

The emperor glanced at Nuoya, then at Bailijiu, shook his head and said, "Now is not the time." ”

"I'm going to ask for a canonization decree, and if I don't announce it for the time being, it's good to eat a reassuring pill." Baili Jiu said with a hippie smile, and one hand sneaked over and held Noya's hand tightly, as if he was really afraid that she would fly. And the palms of the hands are warm and slightly damp, and there is a little nervousness.

"You can't believe me?"

The emperor squinted, unable to see joy or anger, and the atmosphere was slightly frozen for a while.
