The spy envoy did not immediately answer Monton's angry question, but glanced at the guards in the tent. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Monton understood what the other party meant, and thought that Beijiang might have a request for this person, so he had no choice but to wave back the people around him: "Can Your Excellency say it now?"

The spy envoy sighed: "My lord, instead of caring about my identity and origin, you should listen to what I have to say! I believe that after I finish speaking, with the foresight of my lord, I will definitely not refuse my request, and at that time, my identity will naturally not be a secret!"

Monton snorted coldly, the other party's words had already admitted that his identity was unusual, but he couldn't understand why the other party was so sure that he would agree, and said coldly at the moment: "Your Excellency, please speak!"

The spy envoy smiled and said, "Have you ever thought that from last summer to the end of the year, the protracted war that swept the entire empire was not only a battle for imperial power, but also a war to cut the feudal domain that changed the structure of the empire's power. ”

Monton said, "Go on!".

The envoy said: "Before the war, the empire had three major feudal towns in the southeast, southwest, and northern Xinjiang, with nearly one million troops, occupying half of the provinces, and many of them were rich land. The Central Army, which was directly controlled by the Bright Imperial Family, lost its elite after the Battle of Yinshan, and after ten years of cultivation and recuperation, although it recovered, it was still large but not strong.

It can be said that if it weren't for the loyalty of the governor of Northern Xinjiang for generations, the royal family would have been a puppet. This is unbearable for any emperor of great talent.

Prince Wen Ye Chong is such a natural emperor, for him, cutting the feudal domain is as important as imperial power!

After more than half a year of civil war, the situation has been completely reversed. Among the three major feudal towns, the southeast has been removed, and the southwest is about to be destroyed.

However, what is left in the northern frontier? 200,000 elite troops in the northern region are stranded in the hinterland of the empire, and the elite troops left in the wolf city and the northwest are less than 100,000, and most of the rest are new troops who have not been baptized by war, and such a force is simply not enough to refuse any demand from the imperial capital.

What's worse is that the former heroes of Northern Xinjiang left one after another, the Governor, Lieutenant General Buge, and the Wolf Cavalry Battalion...... They were all the souls and mainstays of Northern Xinjiang, but they were defeated one after another in the war!

If you, Lord Monton, also give up on yourself, who else will protect the glory of the northern frontier?

In the next three months, the war on the entire continent will gradually cease, and Prince Wen Ye Chong will never let go of the golden opportunity to integrate the northern frontier.

In terms of name, he can use the marriage relationship between Northern Xinjiang and the royal family to intervene in the affairs of Northern Xinjiang. Militarily, he will definitely ask your lord to reorganize the Northern Xinjiang army - I heard that the lord of Chiba has proposed to elect an adult to take over the post of governor of northern Xinjiang, and this matter will be announced to the world on the day Ye Zhong ascends the throne - my lord should know very well what this means!

So, there's not much time left for adults and Northern Xinjiang!"

Monton's face was pale, and the other party could indeed see it very clearly, and in some respects it could be called far-sighted, even more than himself.

Of course, he understood that the appointment of the governor of northern Xinjiang was an out-and-out conspiracy:

If he accepts, he will become a puppet of the royal family, and cooperate with the royal family to disintegrate the northern frontier step by step and bring it into the absolute rule of the royal family.

If he refuses, the destruction of the wolf rider will make him ruined, and the northern army will be in turmoil, and even fall into division, and then he will also be controlled by the royal family.

Before today, he still had some kind of illusion that the royal family would not be in such a hurry. But after the public threat from the chamberlain sent by Chiba began, he had to reweigh the urgency of the matter.

Monton's first thought was to tell Guo Wu about the destruction of the wolf riders and the conspiracy of the royal family, and when the war was over, he would use his life to end the mistakes he had made.

As for what the future holds, for example, how does Guo Wu choose? Whether he can hold the northern frontier or not? It is not something he can control! The only thing he can do is not to let that mistake become an excuse for the royal family, that's all!

Monton let out a long sigh: "Since Your Excellency has seen it so thoroughly, you should know that I am already a waste. If the glory of Northern Xinjiang is destined to cease to exist, I hope it will be after I close my eyes!"

The envoy smiled and said, "Your Excellency is too pessimistic, haven't you thought that in addition to you, there is also an imperial minister from Northern Xinjiang who also doesn't want to see the glory of Northern Xinjiang disappear?"

Meng Dun was stunned for a moment, and muttered, "You mean Ah Heng...... Uh, that is, Duke Li Wuheng! It's a pity that Ah Heng, like Guo Wu, is still too young. If they are given another three or five years to grow, they may not be able to take charge of Northern Xinjiang!"

The envoy said: "Although Duke Li Wuheng is young, he is sincere to the northern Xinjiang. Now, he has mastered an elite force......"

Monton squinted his eyes and said, "Your Excellency admires Ah Heng so much, it seems that he is also one of you!

The envoy avoided answering and asked rhetorically, "In my lord's opinion, is there a difference between the Ice Plain Army and the Northern Frontier Army in the Northern Frontier?"

Monton pondered for a moment, and the entire Ice Plains Legion, from the commander to the commander of the hundred-man army, all the officers of the Northern Xinjiang Department, did not make much difference in their loyalty to the Northern Frontier! Everything that happened in the Northwest Battlefield also proved this.

He nodded: "Aside from combat effectiveness, compared to Northern Xinjiang, the Ice Plain Legion has nothing to fault with!"

The envoy was slightly dissatisfied and said: "Your Excellency should have a long-term vision, given time, the Ice Legion may not be able to become an elite army!"

Monton smiled and shook his head: "The patchwork army is okay to fight a good battle, reap benefits, and scare and scare people, and on the frontal battlefield, a 10,000-strong brigade of 10,000 people in northern Xinjiang can completely annihilate 50,000 of them!"

The envoy's face froze obviously, and he laughed dryly: "Your Excellency, you naturally use your soldiers like a god, but the combat power of the Ice Legion is not as bad as you said, right...... In this battle of Tamu City, I heard that the Ice Plains Legion made a lot of contributions......"

Meng Dun raised his forehead and smiled bitterly: "The meritorious service is not small, with 30,000 elite cavalry against the fleeing vampire army, this kind of unprepared battle can actually make the vampire army calmly retreat to Tamu City." Your Excellency knows that if such a thing is placed in the northern frontier, the leading generals will definitely be swept to the end.

Of course, I also understand that the soldiers at the bottom of the Icefield Legion, which are gathered together on gold, don't have much fighting spirit and loyalty...... It's also embarrassing for Ah Heng, he has such a bad relationship with the future Emperor His Majesty, and he hasn't been abandoned by those soldiers until now, he is really ......!"

The messenger was a little curious, "What is it?"

Meng Dun coughed a few times and said: "Ahem, it's really a lucky enough wronged boss, in order to keep this little military strength, how much money has Ah Heng been cheated of!"

As if he had been infected, the envoy coughed again and again: "How can we improve the combat effectiveness of the Ice Plain Legion among adults?"

From solving the dilemma in the northern frontier to improving the combat power of the Ice Plain Legion, Monton didn't seem to hear the strangeness of the other party's problem at all, and he considered: "The biggest problem of the Icefield Legion is the lack of military spirit, and such an army does not have the determination to fight to the death in the face of adversity. ”

When he said this, he suddenly paused and said meaningfully: "Have you heard the slogan of the Northern Xinjiang Army?"

The messenger immediately said: "Fight for the light, fight for your comrades!"

Monton smiled slightly: "That's right! If you want to become a strong army, you must first figure out what you are fighting for? The Icefield Legion is indeed very rich, but even if it is fighting for money, it must be snatched from the enemy, otherwise such an army is not as good as those mountain bandits who do not enter the stream!"

The envoy was silent for a moment, then suddenly stared at Monton and said, "Lord Monton, let's be honest, the reason why we invited you to join is that we hope you can help the Icefield Legion become an elite army!"

Monton sneered: "However, not long ago, Your Excellency was still persuading me not to give up on myself, and to live to protect the glory of Northern Xinjiang?

The envoy smiled, "Lord Monton, this is not actually a conflict. Didn't you also admit that the loyalty of the Icefield Army and the Northern Frontier Army is no different from that of the Northern Frontier?

I believe that adults should understand what it means to have an iron-blooded army that does not care about the opinions of the royal family, but is full of loyalty to the northern frontier?

As long as you agree to my request, the glory of the Northern Frontier will continue, and you will no longer have to worry about the threat of the royal family!"

He smiled, and suddenly walked up to the messenger, "I can grant your request, but I also have a request!"

The messenger said, "My lord, but it doesn't hurt to say it!"

Meng Dun said: "No, I will only say this request to your Duke Li Wuheng in person!"

The envoy was silent for a moment, and suddenly smiled helplessly: "Sure enough, I can't hide it from you, Lord Monton!" He wiped his face, revealing a handsome face.

Mengton's eyes lit up, and sure enough, it was Ah Heng, who had not been seen for many days!

Monton sneered: "The wings are stiff, do you want to jump out of the northern frontier to stand on your own?

Ah Heng smiled helplessly and did not refute.

Monton said: "Say, what other calculations are there, let's talk about it together!"

Ah Heng leaned in front of Monton and whispered for a moment.

Mengton's expression became more and more solemn, and he said with difficulty: "This is a conspiracy ......!"

Ah Heng said in a deep voice: "It is also the only way to hold the northern frontier!"

Monton said coldly, "Why did you choose me and tell me this?"

Ah Heng said: "Because adults, like me, will be people who are alive outside of everyone's sight. Only in this way can we do more and truly protect the northern frontier!"

Ah Heng took out a cyan vial and handed it to Meng Dun.

Monton frowned, "What is this?"

Ah Heng smiled slightly: "A bottle of poison that can bring people back from the dead! If you want to continue to protect the northern frontier, you can only make everyone forget you!"

In fact, we know very well that the real sinner who was destroyed by the wolf ride was the man sitting on the dragon chair in the imperial capital city! Even if the adults want to atone for their sins, they must first endure and live, even if for you, it is more difficult to live than to die......

Meng Dun's expression was gloomy, but he didn't take the poison handed over by Ah Heng: "No need, I believe you will do better than me! Even if I really die, I will arrange everything for you." ”

Ah Heng sighed in his heart, but said with a smile on his face: "My lord, you should know better than anyone else that sometimes there are some things that you can't help yourself, so you don't have to worry about it...... Once you are gone, will I go astray and do evil deeds that will harm the northern frontier? After all, those who support me are not good!"

Monton snorted coldly and said, "If that's the case, I won't let you go!"

Ah Heng smiled: "Why bother to be a ghost, isn't it better for adults to keep an eye on me when they are alive?"

Mengton glared at Ah Heng, snatched the bottle, and said angrily: "Okay, you kid can get out!"

Ah Heng smiled, turned back into the appearance of a messenger, and flashed out of the tent.

Monton sighed: "Since you have a tempting heart, it seems that you are also suspicious of the past!
