Chapter Ninety-Seven: Re-entry into Snow Country
Chapter Ninety-Seven: Re-entry into Snow Country
"The Shan Kingdom has behaved very well this time, no matter what the reason behind them is, at least their crown prince is already in our hands."
Tuoba Hong held the dragon chair in his hand, and looked at the civil and military officials in the court with a pair of discerning eyes.
The hall was silent, and the officials knew that Tuoba Hong's mood in the past few days was like the weather in a snow country, with white hair and wind, and he didn't know when to rest. No one wants to touch this bad luck.
Seeing that the civil and military officials all bowed slightly and did not dare to speak, Tuoba Hong continued.
"This Tang Kingdom, it doesn't seem to be very honest recently, since the 50,000 people defeated our 3,000 Black Flame Army, it seems to be a little carried away, Su Xiang, there is no news from the Tang Kingdom?"
Su Mu stood up very cooperatively, "Qi my king, Tang Guo should be scared. Three thousand people killed more than 10,000 of them, and the commander of the Black Flame Army Wu also led his troops to retreat, how heroic is this? What a powerful battle? The old minister estimated that Tang Guo was discussing how to send the lonely revenge back at this time. ”
Tuoba Hong nodded with satisfaction, "What Su Xiang said is very true, this matter will be put on hold for a few days and wait and see." ”
The officials all knew in their hearts that this was obviously a play directed and acted by Tuoba Hong and Su Mu, not only to preserve the majesty of the Snow Country, but also to calm the suspicions of the ministers.
After talking about the preparations for war and the appointment and dismissal of officials, everyone in the court was relieved and could finally go home. A few of them were in a particularly good mood, not only because they had dispersed, but more importantly, they smelled a hint of sweetness, and the snow country seemed to be in danger of falling apart now! Although it is still as strong as a chime, there are a few ants gnawing on it, and there is already a trace of cracks.
Yu Zhanhai and Wang Huaigu talked and laughed all the way, and slowly walked out of the palace with several high-ranking officials from various ministries who were very close.
One of them did not leave, he walked into the deep palace in reverse.
"Su Xiang has worked hard, today is really thanks to you!"
Tuoba Hong looked at the dense fold in his hand, and the green tendons on his face flared up.
After hearing this, Su Mu hurriedly gave a salute.
"This is all what the old minister should do, such a big thing, I didn't let some students come forward, and now they need to hide. My king, did Tang Guo deliberately let go of loneliness? ”
Tuoba Hong slammed the fold on the table, couldn't sit still any longer, and spun around in the room.
"I'm not completely sure, I don't dare to let go of the lonely hatred easily, it's also not good for them."
Snow Country knows almost all the things about Lonely Hatred, which the spies in Tang Kingdom have worked hard to find out. But there is one thing Tuoba Hong doesn't know, that is, Li Tiancheng's relationship with Lonely Qiu is really good! It's so good that it's like a confidant.
"It's almost impossible to rob the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, not to mention that there are only a dozen people, and the old minister still feels that there is fraud in it!"
Su Mu's feelings have always been very accurate, and similarly, Tuoba Hong also thinks that his judgment is very strong.
"These dozen or so people are newcomers who have just been transferred to the Criminal Department, some of them are only on their first day of work, they are all young people, and they have a great future in front of them, and almost all of them have some relationship with the senior officials of the Tang State, so the Criminal Department does not have the slightest suspicion about them, and this is also the interview passed by the Criminal Department in person. The future of more than a dozen people has been ruined like this, and it is estimated that Li Tiancheng of the Tang Kingdom will not exchange so many future talents for loneliness! ”
Tuoba Hong has always respected Su Mu, and today I don't know why, it's very serious.
"My king, this is exactly what I suspect, these dozen or so people are not high in status now, but they can easily enter the criminal department, and the relationship network is extremely strong, if all this is a little unlikely that the remnants of the lonely hatred are designed, there is only one person who can do all this, that is, Li Tiancheng, the lord of the Tang Kingdom."
Su Muyu said that he did not change his opinion because the lord was in a bad mood.
Takubahiro stopped and let out a long sigh. He knew that it was difficult to make a correct judgment in his current mood, but he also believed that after so many years of storms and waves, he still had the ability to analyze things at least.
"This matter will be known in the future, Su Xiang, the most important thing in the snow country now is three things, one is the transfer and appointment and dismissal of officials after the dismissal, the second is to reorganize the Black Flame Cavalry, and the third is the most important thing, prepare to do it for the family and the Wang family!"
A cold glint shot out of Tuoba Hong's eyes, "As for this lonely hatred, while increasing the scope, we need to be stronger." The stronger the more, the more enemies there will be, there are too many people in the world to deal with my Tuoba family, not a little lonely hatred! ”
"My king is really a hero, and the old minister is fortunate to be able to assist the holy lord, which is really the luckiest thing in life!"
Su Mu originally had some differences with Tuoba Hong on the issue of loneliness and hatred, but when he saw that his insights in analyzing the current situation were incisive and unique, he immediately changed his attitude. In fact, these two people have no selfish intentions, they are completely thinking about problems at the level of the country, and whether they agree or disagree does not affect the relationship between the two at all, which is the best way for a monarch and a minister.
"Su Xiang is also working too hard, let's go back and rest early in a while, take care of your body, and deal with national affairs with me!"
The two of them talked less about the prince, and then they each stepped back on the couch by moonlight.
Inside the Shayan Pass.
"Marshal, Snow Country has quit!"
Song Zhiping was very happy, he usually didn't smile, but today he piled a thick layer of folds on his face.
Snow Country has also quit troops before, but the meaning of this time is very different, because Tang Kingdom has not yet agreed to any conditions in Snow Country to usher in peace, which has a lot to do with the defenders of Shayan Pass, and it is also directly related to the elimination of the Black Flame Army, and Song Zhiping participated in the whole incident.
"Zhiping, everyone has worked hard during this time, the matter of the strike should be true, tell the sergeants to restore the wartime level to the normal level, and the city gate will be opened tomorrow."
Rong Qing's face could not hide the smile, peace is not easy, and peace in exchange for military strength is even more difficult.
Chu Ye kept wanting to speak behind Rong Dashuai, but he didn't say it.
Liu Xing, a personal soldier separated from Chu Ye, spoke first: "Big handsome, Chu Ye seems to have something to tell you!" ”
Rong Qing glanced back at Chu Ye, and said in his heart, what is this kid going to do, and he actually wants Liu Xing to speak for him.
"Chu Ye, don't you have anything to say?"
Chu Ye took two steps in front of Rong Qing, kneeling on one knee, "Dashuai, I want to find Xia Bing, I agreed with the divine doctor to pick up Xia Bing back within a month, it has been more than twenty days now, I can't leave due to the war has not been settled before, and today the Snow Country has withdrawn the army, I don't know if I can take her back?" ”
Since Dean Chen Zhongtian came to Shayan Pass, Chu Ye has been studying and making progress frantically every day, learning the way of the military family from Marshal Rong, learning the cultivation of martial artists with Chen Zhongtian, and participating in the daily trivial affairs of the military in order to better integrate into the strong division of Shayan Pass. Chu Ye is both smart and hardworking, and with the guidance of two famous teachers, soon, Chen Zhongtian and Rong Qing will be overjoyed, according to this rate of progress, in less than a year, not only is it expected to tear the five shackles, but also become a rare soldier in the Tang Kingdom!
Rong Qing was a little embarrassed, "Xiao Ye, Xia Bing must be brought back, but although the Snow Country has withdrawn its troops, you are still on Yan Yuwei's black list!" If you go to the Snow Country alone, Xia Bing has only recovered from his serious injuries for more than 20 days, and he will never be as powerful as he was at the beginning, how can the two of you come back safely together? ”
Rong Qing wanted to send someone to escort Chu Ye, but it was easier to be exposed when there were more people, so it was better for Chu Ye to go alone. Of course, it would be great if Dean Chen was willing to go, but he couldn't say it.
"Dashuai, you seem to have forgotten that I can make others unable to find me!"
What Chu Ye said was naturally innate qi.
"Chu Ye, do you know that there are people outside the world, there are heavens outside the sky, you can't always rely on external objects, if there is anything wrong with foreign objects, we won't even have time to save you!"
Rong Qing's analysis is very reasonable, people can't always rely on others, Chu Ye realized that his dependence on innate qi is a little too heavy now.
"Rong Dashuai, can I come in?"
The person who spoke was none other than Chen Zhongtian.
Rong Qing immediately got up and came out, "Dean Chen, it's not the military meeting now, you can come and go as you please!" ”
Chen Zhongtian's status is nothing even if he forcibly breaks into a military meeting, but he has great respect for the soldiers, especially the soldiers at Shayan Pass, especially to Marshal Rong.
"Xia Bing is my disciple of the Academy, I must take him back. This time she was also injured for the country, how could such a talent live in an enemy country for a long time! ”
"It's so better, there's Dean Lao Chen! If it weren't for military affairs, I would have gone with them! ”
What Rong Qing said was from the bottom of his heart, not for anything else, just for his righteous son Chu Ye, and he didn't blink when he went to Dao Mountain.
Liu Xing seemed to be happier than Rong Dashuai, he knew that with Chen Zhongtian by his side, even if he swaggered into the Snow Country, no one would be able to stop the current two. He has a very good relationship with Chu Ye, he is of the same age, he has a similar temperament, he thought that he was a genius enough, seeing Chu Ye's progress speed in the past few days, he felt that he was a person, and Chu Ye was not a person at all. If it is said that Chen Zhongtian ate a small stove for Chu Ye, and the martial artist cultivation has too many external blessings, then from the perspective of dealing with the military affairs in Shayan Pass, Chu Ye was a blank sheet of paper when he first came, and now, a colorful picture scroll has been drawn on this white paper!
"Rong Dashuai doesn't have to be polite, Chu Ye and Xia Bing are both my closed disciples, the disciple has something to do, and he must go out as a teacher!"
After a few more greetings, Chu Ye and Chen Zhongtian said goodbye to everyone, quietly went out from Nancheng, and disappeared into a forest.
"Boy, I don't know how many secrets you have?"
Chen Zhongtian and Chu Ye are now in the innate qi, and Chen Zhongtian, who is about to break the eight shackles, actually doesn't know what kind of qi this is, how can it be so powerful. He looked at the eyes of the small animals in the forest, and then at Chu Ye's somewhat complicated expressions, and sighed that he was still too little knowledgeable.
"I'm sorry Master, I haven't had much time to talk to you about this innate qi, I told you before, but you don't seem surprised, I thought you knew!"
Chu Ye had mentioned this matter to Chen Zhongtian, but who would have thought that the innate qi could really be earlier than heaven and earth?
"Hey, I thought it was just a name, what kind of treasure did you get from the Snow Country, it turned out to be as its name suggests, the innate qi of the earth!"
Chu Ye only mentioned the innate qi, and did not mention the creator.
"Master, this Qi and I are good friends, she is a little timid, and she has time to let you meet."
Chen Zhongtian just had some experience of adapting to Chu Ye, and he was confused, who was she? Can we still meet? What's the situation? Forget it, don't bother to care, let's get down to business first.
"Okay, let's talk about this matter later, let's go find Xia Bing!"
The territory of the Snow Country was very lively, there were more pedestrians on the street, and Chu Ye once again felt the happiness brought by peace. There is no difference between the mountains of Snow Country and the mountains of Shayanguan, and some of them are even connected in wisps, with the same qi and branches, but why do you have to rob other people's things?
Fourteen-year-old Chu Ye watched and thought as he and Chen Zhongtian rushed north in their innate qi.
A day later, the two came to the stone formation under Chu Yebu.
The stones were still very well planted in the ground and were not forced to break.
"Master, you're about to enter the mountain, and you can reach that hut if you don't turn a corner in this direction!"
Chu Ye pointed to the depths of the dense forest.
The two of them looked up, a dense Yanshan jungle, the jungle was too mysterious, as if there was a beautiful treasure in it, but the treasure was buried too deep, and there were fierce beasts guarding it, and they didn't know how to get it.
Chu Ye didn't know that he really wanted to get a treasure that would accompany him for life!
