After that, a few days passed peacefully.

And the reason why Feng Xiao and Qiong Haolong have not started to act for a long time is also to wait for the enemy to create an atmosphere.

As long as there is still the enemy's fine work within the Xiaoqiong Kingdom, then as long as he waits like this, the other party will sooner or later make Cai Xu's next move.

On the other hand, all Feng Xiao needs to do is wait.

Finally, as the news of the battle situation on the front line came back to Wangcheng, Qiong Haolong and Su Mo could be regarded as having waited for the past few days.

On top of several points secretly arranged by the Xiaoqiong Kingdom, the enemy army launched a large-scale offensive against the royal army.

This also led to the defeat of the army of the Xiaoqiong Kingdom, followed by a series of consecutive defeats, and then had to withdraw from the land that had just been recaptured.

When the news reached the royal city, the Xiaoqiong Kingdom had lost hundreds of miles of land again.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, now we can finally get started. ”

After the news had spread, Feng Xiao looked at Qiong Haolong and said like this.

And Qiong Haolong nodded slightly, life and death are inevitable in the matter of the national war, and losses are inevitable, even if Qiong Haolong is sad, he has to seize this opportunity as soon as possible.

Subsequently, the two did not hesitate and soon came to the court.

At this time, because of these news, some officials with high status have also gathered in the court.

"Hao'er, what do you think of Wang Jun's defeat this time?"

As soon as he saw Qiong Haolong, Qiong Zhuchen immediately asked, but there was more or less deep emotion in his eyes.

Then Qiong Haolong replied: "Father, it has been more than a month since the start of this war, and from the beginning to the present, our army will fall into a situation of consecutive defeats whenever it loses a game, and even every plan seems to have been predicted by the enemy, and almost all of them have been perfectly cracked. Therefore, according to the opinion of the sons, there are enemies in our army. ”

Naturally, his answer was also a very obvious thing, and of course, it was also something that Qiong Zhuchen and the ministers present knew very well.

However, Qiong Zhuchen still had to ask him like this.

At the same time, when Qiong Haolong's words fell, Feng Xiao obviously noticed that a few people around him were showing imperceptible smiles.

However, for these smiles, Feng Xiao was not more dignified, but a lot more relaxed.

"Hao'er, the existence of the enemy is already a clear fact, but the enemy is in the shadows, what clues do you have?" Qiong Haolong had led troops to the front line before, so maybe he could grasp things that the ministers here didn't know.

Therefore, with such a possibility, Qiong Zhuchen asked Qiong Haolong like this.

In this regard, Qiong Haolong didn't know much, and after all, he could only report it truthfully: "Back to my father, I don't know more about this matter." ”

Among the people present, only Qiong Zhuchen and Qiong Haolong were not suspected.

First, there is no need for Qiong Zhuchen to help others rob his own country, it doesn't make any sense.

Second, Qiong Haolong, as the crown prince, is also the prince of the country in the future, so there is no need to find trouble for himself.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has his own opinion on this matter, please ask the king for permission. ”

And just after Qiong Haolong answered Qiong Zhuchen, an old-faced minister on the other side stood up.

"Quasi-play. ”

Naturally, whether his advice is helpful or not, it is at least necessary to understand it.

Then, the minister spoke: "Back to the king, according to the old ministers, the Zhongtian Kingdom and the Haojin Kingdom attacked my Xiaoqiong with such fanfare, and even the battle was so uniform, it must have been fully prepared. In this way, the other party's detailed work may have also penetrated deep into our kingdom, and perhaps it should be thoroughly investigated, starting with the ministers who do not even have a detailed place of origin. ”

"Ma Aiqing's suggestion, I also think it's appropriate, maybe you can really try it. ”

Qiong Zhuchen nodded slightly, maybe this is indeed a method.

Then, after a moment of thought, Qiong Zhuchen's gaze fell on Qiong Haolong: "Then, according to this method, it will be left to ......."

However, before he could finish his words, one of them immediately stood up.

"Your Majesty. ”

The man was not very old, but he was also about middle-aged, and his hair was a little gray.

However, as far as his calm appearance is concerned, he does not lose the appearance of a long-standing officialdom.

"What's the matter with Li Aiqing, play. ”

"Ministers have been officials for more than ten years, but they are also dedicated to the country. But according to what Master Ma said, the minister is not satisfied, although it is said that the minister was displaced because of family reasons when he was young, but the minister's contribution to Xiaoqiong over the years should also be seen by the king. If you act according to the methods of Lord Ma, let alone for the time being, if you kill many loyal ministers because of this, then wouldn't it be a great loss to the kingdom?"

The minister surnamed Li opened his mouth like this, and his words were full of emotion, as if he was genuine.

However, what he said was not unreasonable, and perhaps the minister's approach to Ma, although effective, was inevitably counterproductive.

After extending these words, Qiong Zhuchen also thought for a while before he spoke: "What Li Aiqing said is also reasonable, but if this is the case, since the enemy country has already planned it, how to thoroughly investigate it is another matter. According to Li Aiqing's meaning, what should I do?"

It is true that Qiong Zhuchen does not want to investigate thoroughly in person, but that he is in the position of the lord of the country and stands at the peak of the entire Xiaoqiong Kingdom.

And such an existence, no matter how high or low the status of the ministers of the Xiaoqiong Kingdom, is eager to turn into villain sycophants, in such an environment, even if Qiong Zhuchen's heart is high, it is impossible to stay all night on everyone's true side.

At the same time, if he wants to investigate thoroughly, it will be even more troublesome.

Relatively speaking, leaving trust to the ministers is also the only way.

"In the opinion of the minister, what Master Ma said is also reasonable in the final analysis, and if you don't accidentally hurt the loyal person, then there is only one way to investigate thoroughly, and it is necessary for the minister of unknown origin to investigate, and the other point is that the person who does not act must also be investigated. ”

Master Li said, and his words were also full of confidence.

But in doing so, the scope of thorough investigation will be drastically reduced.

And such a result still can't be found out thoroughly.

"But in this case, how can the strength of the thorough investigation be grasped?" and Qiong Zhuchen also understood this.

Without thinking, as if he had already thought about it, Master Li immediately replied: "Your Majesty, it is a very difficult thing to thoroughly investigate and meticulously work, and it is impossible to uproot it. So, you can only take it one step at a time. ”

Feng Xiao didn't say a word on the side, and she didn't show any dumping attitude.

It's just that the corners of his mouth are also curled invisibly.

"Then according to Lord Li's meaning, should I also check?"

A moment later, before Qiong Zhuchen could speak, Feng Xiao opened his mouth first.

And that Lord Li was stunned for a moment, and then said: "In this matter, there is no distinction between high and low official positions, if you want to investigate thoroughly, no one can escape the officials of the Manchu Dynasty, if you want to do it, Lord Feng will naturally have to investigate." ”

Between the words, his aura always maintained a cautious appearance.

And from the perspective of others, his state seems to be jealous of this powerful appearance.

But at the same time, only Feng Xiao could see that he had the feeling of pretending to be in this cautious appearance.

At this point, Master Li was just stunned, and he didn't wait for Feng Xiao or others to continue to say anything, and immediately spoke one after another.

"But having said that, in the final analysis, it is inevitable that Lord Feng's suspicion is also one of the greatest. Regarding this point, the old minister crossed the moment and wanted to ask Lord Feng what he had done in addition to staying in the imperial womb in the past few days?"

Master Li's words came to this point, especially when it came to the last question to Feng Xiao, it was obviously a little gloomy.

It seems that his gaze is also full of pertinence.

In the past few days, Feng Xiao has not spent much time in the palace, and every day Mo Yue is only a period of time after the morning court, and basically does not stay too long after noon, so he returns to the inn to cultivate.

However, in this matter, now that there are so many state affairs, and all the ministers are extremely busy, I am afraid that no one will always care whether Feng Xiao stays in the palace or not.

But if this is done, the only possibility is to target Fengxiao in a targeted or planned way.

And when Master Li asked this question, it became a problem.

"Do I have to report to you one by one?"

Feng Xiao said, and there was still a bit of coldness between the words.

However, Master Li didn't seem to give up: "It's not that the minister wants to know, but this matter is related to Xiaoqiong." After all, Lord Feng's status is already higher than that of his ministers, and with such a status, it is easy to spy on the military of the kingdom. ”

"Feng Aiqing. ”

And at this point, Qiong Zhuchen also spoke, "What Li Aiqing said also has some truth, why don't you just say it?"

Qiong Zhuchen didn't know anything about Qiong Haolong's state of Feng Xiao, and even Qiong Zhuchen only knew about Feng Xiao.

In his eyes, Feng Xiao is really just a prince.

Therefore, it is not unreasonable for him to suspect Feng Xiao at this moment.

"Your Majesty, the minister has nothing to say about this. ”

In the past few days, apart from staying in the palace, Feng Xiao really has no way to prove that he is really cultivating.

And even if there is, Feng Xiao will not say it immediately.

Because, the development of things to this point is also part of the strategy between Feng Xiao and Qiong Haolong.
