Half an hour later, a majestic palace wall gradually appeared in view. This is the first time Ji Fengtian has come to the palace, looking at the golden tiles of the vermilion wall in front of him, Ji Fengtian exclaimed: "The eaves are stacked, the vermilion wall is golden tiles, the atmosphere is very good, it is much better than our general's mansion." ”

"Don't you want me to tell Your Majesty to let you enter the palace?" Ji Lingyun said in a narrow manner.

Ji Fengtian suddenly felt that a chill came from Xiao Ding Ding. In his heart, he thought that except for Dongfang Ming and his son in the palace, the rest except for the women were ...... Eunuch. Ji Fengtian is not an emperor, not a prince, and there is only one possibility to enter the palace--- cut off Xiao Dingding.

"Well, forget it, the child just wants to be by his father's side. Ji Fengtian said hurriedly.

The carriage was very fast, and soon appeared at the gate of the palace,

"I've seen General Ji. Seeing the carriage of the Ji family, the guards bowed down and saluted Ji Lingyun.

"Don't be polite, I have something important to discuss with Your Majesty, you go and report it. Ji Lingyun walked out of the carriage and said.

"General Hui, Your Majesty has explained before, if General Ji enters the palace, there is no need to report, Your Majesty is now waiting for you in the imperial study. The guard replied respectfully.

"Oh?" Turning his head to look at Ji Fengtian, the father and son walked towards the imperial study together.

Along the way, Ji Fengtian kept looking at the surrounding environment, red walls and golden tiles, carved beams and paintings, majestic, this is Ji Fengtian's evaluation of the palace. Walking up the stairs, Ji Fengtian and Ji Lingyun finally came to the imperial study.

The imperial study is not the same as what Ji Fengtian knows, and it is similar to the front hall of the Ji family, the only difference is that there is a table in front of the main seat.

At this time, there were two people sitting in the imperial study, and in front of the table was naturally Dongfang Ming, and sitting below was Zhuge Yun, the prime minister of the dynasty.

"I've seen Your Majesty. Ji Lingyun took Ji Fengtian and bowed.

"Just now Prime Minister Zhuge said that you would come, and it has only been a long time since you came. Dongfang Ming said with a smile.

"Ji Lao Er, do you also think that the orcs have other intentions to retreat this time?" Zhuge Yun also said at this time.

"Zhuge San, don't talk about me anymore, with what I know about you, you should have thought of something. Ji Lingyun sat down and said.

"I didn't think of anything, I just thought the orcs had another purpose in retreating this time. Zhuge Yun said.

"I don't have any ideas, but I think of something. Ji Lingyun replied.

Ji Lingyun's voice, Dongfang Ming and Zhuge Yun's eyes all fell on Ji Fengtian.

"Back to Your Majesty, in fact, I don't have any special thoughts, I just think things are very strange. According to normal thinking, it is now a harsh winter, and the place where the orcs live is still north of the northern part of our country, which is even colder than our country, and food is even more scarce. Especially now, some of the food stored in the warm season should be consumed, and the amount of food stored in the food store is now greatly reduced. The first goal of the orcs now is to save food, and the second is to send out orc detachments to plunder food. Located in a mountain stream, the Arctic City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the orcs will not waste their forces on the difficult Arctic City. I don't know if Your Majesty now has a map of the north, as well as a map of the distribution of troops. Ji Fengtian said.

"Someone, bring the sand table. Dongfang Ming Dasheng commanded.

Soon, several guards carried the sand table into the imperial study. Ji Fengtian moved over a stool, stepped on it, shot his eyes to the sand table, and observed it carefully for a while, his brows gradually furrowed.

"Oh no, if I'm not mistaken, the orcs want to cross the Frosty Mountains, enter the belly of our country, and directly seize food resources. Ji Fengtian lost his voice.

"How is this possible, although there are not many demon beasts in the Frost Mountain Range, the mountain walls are steep, and most places are covered with solid ice, and the snow does not disperse all year round, making it difficult to climb. It is impossible for orcs to pass through the natural barrier of the Frosty Mountains. Dongfang Ming denied the way.

"I remember hearing my father say that in the past ten years, although the impact of orcs on us has been fierce, the number of orcs has not increased much. Moreover, there are many fewer orcs attacking Extreme Cold City than more than ten years ago. Ji Fengtian slowed down and continued.

"Although the orcs are in the extremely cold wasteland, their physical fitness cannot be ignored, they are powerful, fierce, and not afraid of death, and some orcs even live in symbiosis with demon beasts. If during the years of fighting us, the orcs who did not participate in the attack on the Arctic City went to break through the Frosty Mountains and dig a tunnel from the belly of the mountain directly to our territory. After more than ten years of hard work, maybe we ordinary humans can't do it, but orcs can. These are my guesses, but I think we'd better be cautious, just in case. ”

Ji Fengtian's voice gradually became heavy, Dongfang Ming and Zhuge Yun's faces gradually turned pale, even Ji Lingyun, who had slaughtered 100,000 soldiers on the battlefield, frowned.

"Does Fengtian's nephew have any good suggestions?" Dongfang Ming glanced at Ji Lingyun with a solemn expression, and found that Ji Lingyun was also frowning, just knowing the news like himself, and asked Ji Fengtian.

"Now, the first thing we need to do is to send soldiers to carefully inspect the towns near the Frosty Mountains in the north, and arrange for the lords of the nearby cities to send some soldiers to defend the cities and retreat the residents near the Frosty Mountains to the major cities. Closely patrol the area around the Frosty Mountains, and if you spot an orc, report it immediately, hopefully in time. ”

"What if the orcs have already entered my realm?" asked Zhuge Qingming.

"If a large number of orcs appear in our country, let the major cities quickly shrink back into the city, all the food that can be taken away will be taken away, and all the food that cannot be taken away will be burned. Ji Fengtian slowly said his thoughts.

"Someone!"

"Your Majesty!" a man who looked like a guard commander walked in.

"Herald Black Rock City, Ice Moon City, Huijin City... Wait for the ten major city lords to send city guards to gather the residents of the villages and towns near the Frost Mountain Range in the city. The whole city is on guard, and the sentry posts are not to be interrupted day and night, and if you find the traces of the orcs, you will report it immediately! This news is top secret, and no one is allowed to leak it, and if you find a large influx of orcs, you will destroy all the food that you cannot take away in time. Dongfang Ming said quickly.

"The news is urgent, there must be no slackness, those who violate the order will be punished ~ nine ~ clans!" Dongfang Ming said again.

"Your Majesty!" Ji Fengtian said again, and Dongfang Ming turned his eyes to look at Ji Feng.

"We should inform Arctic City again, if an orc forcibly rushes into Arctic City from the other side, open our north gate, and join forces with the orcs outside, then it will not be a small force, but all the orcs will come to attack. ”

Ji Fengtian spoke slowly, and at the same time threw out a heavy *.

Dongfang Ming's three bodies trembled suddenly, and their faces were full of fear.

After Dongfang Ming came out one after another, the three of them gradually breathed a sigh of relief, the Extreme Cold City was more than two months away from the Emperor, and the Flying Eagle of the Great Yue Dynasty took more than half a month to reach the news, plus the orcs retreated in batches before, and it was almost more than twenty days since the news was transmitted back from the Extremely Cold City. A month, hopefully this month will come in time.

"I once read in a book that the intelligence of the orcs is low, and no one is subordinate to each other, and they are all tough against us, and they have never used tactics. And now, the orcs know to open the tunnel and go straight to the hinterland of our country, if what is said in the ancient books is true, then it is very likely that there is a prestige leader among the orcs who can suppress all the orcs. Ji Fengtian said again.

Dongfang Ming's expressions that had just eased became solemn again.

"There's no point in thinking about it now, and when this is over, we will bulldoze the hills near the Frosty Mountains and fill up the valleys to create a flat area with an unobstructed view, so that the orcs can be spotted at any time. After saying these words, Ji Fengtian saw that the faces of the three of them improved slightly.

"Your Majesty. ”

"Wait a minute, let me breathe a sigh of relief. Then the sound of the three of them inhaling deeply was heard from inside the room.

"Feng Tianxian's nephew, say it. Then the three of them looked at Ji Fengtian again.

"Eh, that, is there any osmanthus cake that my father brought back from the palace last time?" Ji Fengtian asked with some embarrassment.

Quiet, a needle drop in the house can be heard in an instant. Then, there was the sound of the three of them getting angry, and it was obvious that the three of them were also nervous.

"Hahaha, yes! Someone, order the imperial dining room to make some osmanthus cakes and send them up. The two Aiqing didn't eat either, together. After the matter on their minds was resolved, the mood of the three of them was significantly better.

After a while, several palace maids came up with a plate of snacks, and several people gathered around the only desk in the study, Ji Fengtian didn't care that this was the palace, stepped on the stool, grabbed a piece of osmanthus cake in one hand and sent it to his mouth.

"Feng Tianxian's nephew, whatever you want to eat in the future, come to the palace, and I will order the people in the imperial dining room to cook it for you. As he spoke, Dongfang Ming took off a token from his body and handed it to Ji Fengtian.

"This is my reward for you, do you want to come to the court with your father in the future?"

Ji Fengtian held the token with both hands and looked at it carefully, the token was covered in gold, the middle was rectangular, a dragon was wrapped around the token, hovering upward, the top dragon head looked down, looking mighty and domineering, the front was written with the words "Ru I come in person", and the back was the word "Ling".

Although Ji Fengtian didn't know how useful this token was, from the expression of longing in Zhuge Yun's eyes, Ji Fengtian knew that it was a good thing.

Stuffing the token into his arms, Ji Fengtian said to Dongfang Ming: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness, but I am too young, and if I follow my father to the early dynasty, it will affect the views of the ministers on Your Majesty." ”

The time for the meal passed quickly, Ji Lingyun said goodbye from Dongfang Ming, and the three of them walked towards the palace together.

"Ji Lao Er, Feng Tianxian's nephew is really a genius, how close the juniors of our two families are. Zhuge Yun smiled a little obscenely, without the slightest image of being a courtier.

"You mean, that little slug in your house?" Ji Lingyun asked curiously.

"What is a little slug, it's your nephew or not. Zhuge Yun said with a black line on his face.

"Father, it is said that little slugs grow up to be very smart. Ji Fengtian said matter-of-factly.

"En~ It's still Feng Tianxian's nephew, I love to hear what he said. However, can you not call it a little slug?" Zhuge Yun said speechlessly.

"What's that little rabbit in your house called?" Ji Lingyun suddenly asked.

"My little rabbit cub is called Zhuge ... Ji Lao Er, do you want to fight?" Sensing Ji Lingyun's name for his son, Zhuge Yun didn't care about his image, he rolled up his sleeves and wanted to fight Ji Lao Er.

Just as Zhuge Yun was about to pounce, Ji Lingyun's face became a little gloomy. Following Ji Lingyun's gaze, he saw Liu Xiang walking up the steps.

"Hmph!" At this moment, Liu Xiang also saw the two, but he didn't pay attention to the two.

"Liu Xiang doesn't look like he's going to find His Majesty?" looked at Liu Xiang's distant back, Ji Fengtian said.

"I guess I went to find his sister Liu Guifei. Zhuge Yun said coldly.

"En?" Ji Fengtian looked at Zhuge Yun curiously, this usually good old man image will not be waiting to see a person today.
