The status of the Great Heavenly Master is prominent, in fact, the so-called Great Heavenly Master is an honorific title for him, from the princes and nobles, down to the dawn of the common people, all know that there is a mysterious old man beside the king, no official and half-position, but he is deeply respected by the king, so that later, people have forgotten his real name, leaving only the title of the Great Heavenly Master.

The eldest prince has a ghost in his heart, and there is nothing to hide under the eyes of the Great Heavenly Master, this matter is placed in the past, the king will definitely intervene, but now he knows that his time is short, twelve hours a day, at least eight hours of sleep, even when he is awake, he is also sluggish, if it is not for the Great Heavenly Master to take care of him, he doesn't know what it will become.

The Great Heavenly Master was still talking, but there was no sound in the court, and when he raised his hand, he fell asleep again.

Shaking his head helplessly, he tiptoed over the threshold, covered him with a quilt, and then went out of the room without a sound.

"Be careful, no one is allowed to enter or leave the dormitory, and those who violate the prohibition will be killed!" The grim words drifted through the air, and the guards who hid in the shadows had to brace their spirits, not sparing even a single bug.

And the Great Heavenly Master who disappeared without a trace didn't know where he went.

——

The eastern battalion of the royal city, this battalion is the place where the marshal of Vallan handed over the military power, the marshal can leave in style, but after the generals and soldiers under his command come back, they need to transcribe and stamp each person's military industry to show his authority, these military workers are recorded by the accompanying officers when they march to fight, so now it is just a formality.

Even if it was so simple, from noon to dusk, until the lights came on in the streets, the camp was empty, and they would not return again until they had a month-long vacation.

And there is an ice castle, but people come and go from here from time to time, and the official position on the body is not small, but because the location is relatively remote, and the current soldiers are in a hurry to go back and reunite with their families, no one will pay attention to the situation here.

With an oil lamp in the palm of your hand, there is a light again in the dim room, which is the cheapest and easiest item to keep in the barbarians, so an oil lamp is a must-have in every household.

As soon as a person walked out, there was a man dressed as a soldier outside the house, and he hurried to this side, and when he saw an acquaintance at the door, he nodded politely and greeted him, and then the man went into the house.

The hardest part of the ice field was the long night, the day was fine, a little sunshine could provide heat, and in the evening, when the sky turned dark and the cold wind was howling, no one wanted to suffer outside.

If it weren't for the special circumstances, these soldiers would have actually gone back, but it was only because of the special order of the eldest prince that they had waited until now.

The people who went out, with a relieved face, can finally go home and hug their wives and children, and lie on the warm kang to sleep.

After the soldier entered the house, he took off his long hat to cover his ears, and then leaned over to the fire, and asked while shivering: "Father-in-law Wei, so solemnly asked us to talk one by one, and I don't know what it is, the wife and children at home are still waiting for me to come home for dinner." ”

The implication is that if you have something, hurry up and say it, I'm in a hurry to go back, and the tone is really not good.

Father-in-law Wei, no one else, is the dog-headed military division next to the eldest prince, after separating from the eldest prince, he rushed to the army non-stop, fortunately he came in time, if it was a moment later, it is estimated that he should have left, then he would only come in vain.

Gonggong Wei had a warm smile on his face, even if he heard the sound of the soldiers, he didn't say anything on the surface.

He took out the tongs from the fireplace, removed the hot teapot from the stove, and then wiped the dirty fingers from the corner of his shirt, and said, "I'm really sorry to trouble the general so late, the slave family is here to compensate you." ”

The soldier waved his hand impatiently and said, "Let's get straight to the point, I'm really in a hurry, or wait for me to come to visit in person tomorrow and give you a compensation, do you think it's okay?"

Father-in-law Wei, who seemed to have a kind face, still said unhurriedly: "The slave family rushed over at the behest of the eldest prince, if it really delays the general's time, then the slave family will go back to the eldest prince first." ”

This is a naked threat, the threat in the words is self-evident, the eldest prince has been moved out, how can he withstand it now, so his expression became panicked, and said: "It turned out that the eldest prince meant, I was abrupt, did the eldest prince have any orders to me, I will never give up, saddle the horse for the eldest prince!"

Lick the dog!

As soon as the eldest prince moved out, his attitude changed immediately, they didn't care about this eunuch, but they didn't dare not care about the eldest prince, especially since a few of them were the cronies cultivated by the eldest prince in the army, which was tantamount to selling themselves to him, so the boss had an order, and they couldn't obey.

The cold attitude immediately became enthusiastic, and then said: "Oh, Gonggong Wei is still running around for the eldest prince so late, it's really ......"

Gonggong Wei stretched out his right hand, interrupted his compliments, and then said: "Don't talk nonsense, let's get straight to the point, aren't you in a hurry to go home, I don't want people to slander me in private." ”

The soldier laughed and laughed, and Gonggong Wei ridiculed each other, not because he had an opinion on his attitude just now, the eunuch was stingy, he smiled on his face, but he labeled him in his heart.

"No, no. ”

"I hope so," Father-in-law Wei glanced at him, then returned to the topic, and said, "My king began to summon Warland, and I heard the eldest prince say that he may remember his hard work and achievements, and this time he will be exempted from the punishment of defeat this time, and the scapegoat may be found among the few of you......"

As soon as these words came out, the soldier's face changed in shock, his heart trembled, and a feeling like falling into an ice cellar swept through his body.

His voice trembled a little, and he said, "The eldest prince shouldn't think the same way, right?"

Gonggong Wei was overjoyed in his heart, and sure enough, this excuse was bluffed, and he knew it by looking at their pale faces.

Seeing that the goal was achieved, Gonggong Wei sighed and said: "You have all shown loyalty to the eldest prince, you know how the eldest prince treated you in the past, but this time the eldest prince is very hopeful for you, he specially told you to protect Chade before, but you let him be killed by a little-known little character in your eyes, think about it yourself, let the eldest prince deal with himself." ”

The soldiers were already frightened, listening to Gonggong Wei's words, they all turned into bitter gourd faces, and said: "It was Bart's kid who was unexpected, how could we have thought that he was so bold, at that time we had already argued with reason, but the commander did not deal with us, and we were also more than capable of doing it, it was not that we deliberately did not do things and shirked our responsibilities!"

The soldier pleaded bitterly and said, "The eldest prince can't abandon us!"

First, knock a big stick to knock him out, and then, you can give a sweet date, collect and put it away, and hold it freely.

Gonggong Wei's face softened slightly, and when he saw that the fire was coming, he said: "Don't worry, since the eldest prince is willing to ask me to come over in person, it is to solicit a glimmer of life for you, and as for what you can't grasp, it's up to you." ”

"Father-in-law Xie Wei, father-in-law Xie Wei!" said the soldier.

Gonggong Wei stopped his words, and then said: "The center of the whirlpool of this matter is the person Vallan, he is deeply respected by my king, this time you want to bring him out as a scapegoat, it is simply wishful thinking, I don't know who gave you a bad idea, this is digging a pit for yourself, jumping into it yourself." ”

Of course, these words were made up by Gonggong Wei himself, but he lied without even blinking his eyelids, and his ability to open his eyes and tell nonsense has long been perfected.

The effect is achieved, Father-in-law Wei can't help but be smug, and he is impressed by his smart little brain, and then he has to push all the dangers on these people, so that he is not afraid of them temporarily backing the water, so he has to obediently follow the eldest prince to do things.

It turned out to be so dangerous, as soon as Gonggong Wei said this, the soldier immediately understood the danger he was in, but how could he be willing to be this scapegoat, he had been crushed to death by Vallan in the army, and he was so angry that he felt really bad when he had no gas to come out.

"I beg Gonggong Wei for advice!" the soldier stood up, clenched his fists, and said solemnly.

The old god of Gonggong Wei is there, and he has a certain number in his heart, and this not salty and indifferent appearance falls in the eyes of the soldiers, but he is a furrow in his chest, and he is a bamboo in his chest, so he is worried about the heart of the earth, and he is inevitably a little calm.

Gonggong Wei raised a finger and said, "First, why did the eldest prince send me, an idler, to come forward instead of sending someone else, because the stakes are important and there is a slight difference, you who have offended the old man, all of you are waiting to lose your head." ”

"Second, the eldest prince is on the holy side, and there are many inconveniences in moving, so you need to save yourself this time, and the eldest prince will help you on the side, if it goes well, you will save the day, if you are lucky enough to knock down the one in front of you, you also have a chance to move up the position under your buttocks. ”

Hearing this, the soldiers felt a lot more at ease, and if this is the case, then they must fight to the death.

"Come here with your ears," Gonggong Wei said, and the soldier leaned his ear over according to his words, and then muttered an explanation, the soldier's eyes became brighter and brighter, and his expression became excited.

He exclaimed, "This trick is too vicious, isn't it......?" On the contrary, but it is a great crime to punish the nine clans, are we too ruthless? ”

"To fight a snake is to hit seven inches, and to cut the grass is to be eradicated, and not only to get rid of Walland, that Bart can't make him feel better, but he has to keep his mouth alive, and the eldest prince has to deal with him himself. ”

Gonggong Wei told again: "You can remember clearly, long face for the eldest prince, and when the eldest prince inherits the throne, there will be no one who should be rewarded!"

"Prince Xie!"

After the two talked, Father-in-law Wei issued an eviction order and returned to his nest, he was not going to go back tonight, and it would be dark in a few hours, and it was not good to be blinded by the wind and snow, and then he went into the nest, lying on the kang, leisurely sipping hot tea, humming a little song, as if he had succeeded.

——

Warland and Barth, who had been given the holy order, hurried to the palace, but by chance the snow was so heavy that they had no choice but to dismount and go on foot.

The snow is getting heavier and heavier, the road is blocked, and it is no longer suitable for travel, so the two had to find an inn on the side of the road, the inn is also learned from the human race, Wangcheng as the economic and cultural exchange center of the barbarians, there are not a few people who come to the royal city from other tribes every day, so the inn came into being, giving those clansmen who came from afar, and it was a great convenience.

Moreover, the cost of the inn was extremely cheap, and the average family could afford to live in it, so Walland saw one on the side of the road, and led Bart into the house.

"Two inside, please!" the door ran to greet the two warmly, and then looked up, and saw that it was the famous General Vallan in front of him, and he was so excited that he couldn't walk for a while.

"General, you...... Inside, please!"

Vallan stroked his beard, and when he saw Xiao Er's embarrassed expression, he couldn't help laughing twice, and then said with relief: "You don't have to be nervous, just do as usual, so I won't feel comfortable." ”

"Okay, okay. Xiao Er nodded repeatedly, and then led the two to the counter, at this moment, the shopkeeper was drowsy, and he didn't notice the two people in front of him.

"The shopkeeper, the shopkeeper, the guest is here. Xiao Er reminded softly.

"Ah, ha~~~" The shopkeeper opened his sleepy eyes, swept over the faces of the two, and suddenly opened his mouth wide, looking incredulous.

Bart only thought that this shopkeeper was the same as this little er, and he was a little excited to see Valland, so he didn't care, and said: "We want two rooms, try to be as comfortable as possible, please hurry, it's snowing heavily outside, we want to go into the house to warm up." ”

The shopkeeper came back to his senses, his expression returned to normal, and then he took out the room card and clicked it three times on the table, and the room card was drawn twice in the shopkeeper's hand, as if showing off his skills, and then handed it over diligently.

"Take the guests to the second and third compartments of the Tianzi room. ”

"Okay, you two come with me, slow down, slip carefully. ”

Bart took the card and followed Valland upstairs without a glance.
