"Situ Aiqing, hurry up!" Yu Shaoxi waved his hand and said with a smile. 【Reading.com】

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Situ Xiaofeng stood up, straightened up, stood in the middle of the hall and looked around, feeling like he stood out from the crowd and looked at the ministers, and accepted the admiring glances from the ministers around him with peace of mind.

And Situ Wuji next to him was also proud, and from time to time he glanced at the old man Lin on the opposite side a few times, and anyone could see the deep meaning in his eyes, he was saying to Lin Tianqing: Look! Your unlucky grandson was sent to assist the Ximu Empire, and so far there is no news, or my grandson is a little more powerful, and he can easily complete the task!

Feeling Situ Wuji's provocative gaze, Old Man Lin was not moved at all, and still stood there with an expressionless expression.

"I've received good news. This time, thanks to Situ Aiqing leading the troops to kill the enemy bravely on the front line, we can keep the Lilac City of Great Xia from being taken away by the grassland tribes, Situ Aiqing is the heart of the country, I am deeply grateful!" Yu Shaoxi praised Situ Xiaofeng with sincerity, and then ordered: "Come on! I want to reward Situ Xiaofeng with 100 taels of gold and 100 horses of silk to reward him for his hard work!"

"Your Majesty's reward, Wechen is ashamed to take it!" Situ Xiaofeng hurriedly saluted Yu Shaoxi, and said with a flattering face: "The reason why Wechen was able to make miraculous achievements this time is completely thanks to Your Majesty's blessing! If it weren't for Your Majesty giving Wechen the strongest soldiers and the best war horses, so that Wechen could be invincible on the battlefield, I'm afraid Wechen would have the ability to turn the clouds and rain, and he wouldn't be able to drive the grassland tribes out of Lilac City." Therefore, it should be Weichen who is grateful to His Majesty for his cultivation!"

"Hahaha! Situ Aiqing is too humble. Yu Shaoxi laughed a few times, and that happy expression showed that Situ Xiaofeng's sycophant was on the spot, "I have to say that although they are both famous families, compared to some people who can only play tricks, Situ Aiqing is indeed very outstanding." ”

After finishing speaking, Yu Shaoxi's gaze also glanced in the direction of Old Man Lin a few times.

It is also said that it has been a few months since the New Year's dispatch of troops, although Lin Yu's mission is only to send troops to aid the Ximu Empire, and he does not need to fight the grassland tribes, but he has not heard from him so far, which is very surprising.

At that time, before setting out on the expedition, Lin Yu boasted in front of Yu Shaoxi, saying that as long as he gave him 150,000 troops, he could not only easily take back Lilac City, but also defend the Ximu Empire.

Now it's okay, Situ Xiaofeng has already beaten the grassland tribe away, but you Lin Yu haven't moved at all, and you don't even know whether you are dead or alive, this is too nonsense, right?

In the past, Lin Yu used to say in front of Yu Shaoxi all day long that this person was rebelling and that person was making trouble, but now he ran into the Ximu Empire with an army of 100,000 and disappeared without a trace.

Yu Shaoxi even thought about whether Lin Yu took the army and went to Yinyue? After all, Yinyue was tired of being with Lin Yu all day long when she was in the imperial capital, and she also admitted that she had feelings for Lin Yu, maybe the two fell in love for a long time, and Lin Yu fled with his troops?

However, after thinking about it, he denied his thoughts, after all, Old Man Lin is still in the imperial capital! According to Lin Yu's personality of protecting the family, if he really wants to defect to the Ximu Empire, he must have taken the entire Lin family to migrate.

Old Man Lin was a little unbreathed at this time, he didn't care so much when he noticed Situ Wuji's eyes, but now even His Majesty the Emperor cast a questioning look, which made him feel very uneasy in his heart.

In the past few months, Old Man Lin has not lived a solid life, almost every day is worried, every time someone comes to the house to send a letter or a stranger visits, it will make him nervous, for fear that they are here to report the news of Lin Yu's death or disappearance.

After all, Xiao Yu is already the most promising one among the existing descendants of the Lin family, although he usually looks a little scoundrel, but Old Man Lin also knows that it is just Lin Yu's disguise.

When it comes to the interests of the family, at every critical moment, he can always stand up and turn things in crisis into the most beneficial situation for the Lin family.

If he could, Old Man Lin was even willing to labor his own old bones and go on the expedition instead of Lin Yu. As long as you can keep the last bit of incense for the Lin family, why not go to the battlefield yourself? But unfortunately, things in the world are always not as people wish.

"Your Majesty, the steppe tribe has sent an envoy over and is asking for an audience outside the palace! Situ Xiaofeng was not stupid, as soon as he heard it, he understood what Yu Shaoxi said, and he couldn't help but be very proud, and was about to say a few words of sarcasm to Lin Yu, but he heard Cai's duck voice coming again, and interrupted his words to his mouth.

"Grassland tribe, what are they doing here?" Yu Shaoxi was a little unable to come back to his senses, how could the grassland tribe send an envoy over at this time? Could it be that he wanted to release their captives? But he didn't hear Situ Xiaofeng mention that there were prisoners? Looking at Situ Xiaofeng again, he was also at a loss.

Although he was very confused in his heart, it was not good for people to wait outside like this, Yu Shaoxi waved his hand and motioned for Gong Cai to announce the envoy to enter the palace.

It didn't take long for a man dressed in prairie clothes to stride in and walk straight to the temple. Situ Xiaofeng had no choice but to stand on the side and give up his position.

"Honorable Emperor Daxia, hello!" Since the grassland tribe did not have the rule of three bows and nine bows, the envoy just knelt down on one knee, saluted Yu Shaoxi, and then said: "I am named Turut, and I took the liberty to come here today on the orders of King Kuleiboto to conduct peace talks with His Majesty Yu Shaoxi." ”

"Hmph!" Yu Shaoxi snorted coldly, put on the prestige of the Son of Heaven, the curvature of the corners of his mouth was gently raised, and he said with a smile: "Peace talks? This war was originally provoked by your steppe tribes, and now you can't capture Lilac City, and you want to come to me to ask for peace? Does your steppe king think that fighting is a child's play, a child's wine, so he wants to fight and make peace?"

It's not that Yu Shaoxi deliberately wants to put on a show, but he is really unhappy. He felt that the people of the grassland tribe must have been scared by Situ Xiaofeng, and after evacuating and escaping from Lilac City, he was worried that he would send troops to continue to attack the territory of the grassland tribe, so he would send an envoy to negotiate peace.
