"In Zhu Ceguo, the son of the King of Xialu, I also ask His Royal Highness the King of Northern Yan to send troops to rescue us for the sake of us all the people of Great Xia, and thank you with my father below." It turns out that this person with a serious expression is called Zhu Ceguo, but what is puzzling is that he is obviously here to ask for help, why does he really look bitter and hateful, isn't it born to be incompatible with Bai Qianming?

Lord Qi, who was at the top, showed a somewhat disdainful expression when he heard Zhu Ceguo's words, how wide is the sphere of influence of King Lu Zhu Ji, how could it be that a small country with no way, plus it was always respectful to Daxia in the past, so before the trip, the emperor instructed himself in advance, and it was just a show.

Although Bai Chenming understands that the same people of Daxia should reach out to help, but the current situation does not allow him to launch a large-scale transfer of troops, although the grassland people have temporarily reached a reconciliation with their own side, but there are no longer a few groups like the green wolf clan on the grassland, if you relax your vigilance because of the marriage between your brother-in-law and the princess of the grassland, then you may have to regret it, and in addition to what the step-brother told him about what Nangong Jinyu did yesterday, the Nanyue Mansion is definitely not as simple as you think, At the very least, Beiyan, where he is, must be a potential target for them to clean up, and in this case, I am afraid that he is really more than capable of enough. 、

After Zhu Ceguo finished speaking, the whole house fell into an eerie silence, Mu Qingfeng wanted to help, but here is the eldest brother who has the final say, and he can't overstep his responsibilities; Zhan Yu, as the prince of Lingwang, doesn't care about such a thing, and with his straw bag virtue, sending troops to fight may not help; As for Nangong Jinyu, who is not lacking in ability and scheming, of course he will not agree to be so happy, he is only interested in whether this matter will benefit him, at present, sending troops to the Eastern Continent is just a waste of money and labor, so Nangong Jinyu rarely did not speak, just closed his eyes and recuperated.

"Shizi, you have also seen, the recent situation in our Daxia is very bad, not to mention that Daliang Prefecture has suffered a drought that has not been encountered in a hundred years, and there is almost no harvest, and the imperial court has just finished the disaster relief and a military rebellion broke out, it can be said that the current Nanyue Wangfu can't get a grain of grain out of a single soldier; As for Beiyan, you have also seen that we have to talk to the grassland for the sake of a short period of peace, and the death of the old prince has greatly affected the border defense in the north of our Great Xia; As for King Ling's side, do you know that you must always guard against some people's disobedience......" What Lord Qi said is indeed the truth, but it is not as exaggerated as he said, it is obvious that the imperial court intends to stand by this time. "Of course, they are all the people of Great Xia, and there is no reason for the court not to save them, as long as you can move the four kings, if they want to send troops, the court will not stop them, so ......"

"Enough! A bunch of scumbags! Before Master Qi finished speaking, he was rudely interrupted by Zhu Ceguo, it seems that he has already encountered this situation, so he will be dissatisfied.

"When I came, I told my father that the entire court is a group of villains who are greedy for life and afraid of death, our request for help this time is destined to be a failure, but I didn't expect my father to insist that there are still some hot-blooded people in Daxia who will lend a hand, hum, now it seems that it is just a group of incompetent rats, I will leave for home, it is better to die on the way to the charge than to die in bed like a coward! You will slowly watch the Japanese kingdom become our henchmen! Zhu Ceguo obviously didn't plan to talk anymore, so he got up directly and wanted to leave.

"Presumptuous!" Unexpectedly, it was Lord Qi who was a civil official who was furious, "Prince Lu, please pay attention to your words and deeds, you must know which one of you here is not the pillar of our Great Xia, how can you be full of nonsense?" Not to mention anything else, you went to the court to ask for help, but the emperor sent me to take you for thousands of miles non-stop, and you forgot all this?! ”

"Thanks to Lord Qi's reminder, I really forgot this, it was originally a trivial matter of dispatching troops, but I didn't expect the imperial court to use the pretext that the soldiers and horses were not allowed to move without permission, and it took me a lot of time to come to this northern Xinjiang, and when I inquired here, I found out that it was a marriage with the grassland people, and I knew for the first time when I grew up so big, it turned out that our entire Dongzhen was not as good as a barbarian woman, and I didn't know which blind person would do such a foolish thing! Such a person is a little white-faced person in our Dongzhen, who eats soft rice! ”

Zhu Ceguo's words made Mu Qingfeng and Xue Lian'er miserable, this Zhu Ceguo must have been angry and didn't figure out what happened, but Xue Lian'er's face was very ugly, whether she was called a barbarian woman or Mu Qingfeng was called a little white face, if it wasn't for Mu Qingfeng holding her hand tightly, maybe she would have broken out on the spot.

"You...... What nonsense are you talking about, why did the court deliberately delay, the sons of the four kings are here, they are not the representatives of the four kings, are you?! Seeing that Lord Qi was a little inward-looking, Mu Qingfeng knew that the imperial court was indeed not well-intentioned.

"Farewell!" Zhu Ceguo didn't bother to talk nonsense with Lord Qi, and stood up directly and walked to the door, the sound that almost broke the door frame showed how atmospheric he was.

Of course, this meeting broke up unhappily, and the reputation of war was frustrated here, and there was no intention of continuing to stay; Nangong Jinyu didn't know what bad idea he had, maybe he would ambush the grassland, so he also left under the pretext of leaving, but he looked at Mu Qingfeng's eyes full of hatred, presumably he had already learned about Liu Liangchen from Mr. Zhan.

As for the official Lord Qi, he had long shouted how tired he was and needed to take a good rest, suggesting that Bai Qiming should hurry up and prepare good wine, good food and beautiful girls, so as to comfort and comfort the soul in his hands.

Bai Chenming smiled helplessly, these Beijing officials have long seen what virtues they have, they have accompanied their father to meet the envoy when they were young, but they didn't expect that almost ten years have passed, they are still the same, eating and taking cards, and they have intensified.

Just when Bai Chenming and Mu Qingfeng thought that the matter was over, they didn't expect a maid to come to their side and say, "Lord, Your Royal Highness, the princess has invited you to discuss the garden." "Bai Chenming has not been married yet, and the princess here is naturally an old princess.

Hearing that their mother was invited, the two did not dare to delay, and hurried to the back garden, because the old princess had already recognized Xue Lian'er, the daughter-in-law, so she also went together.

When they arrived in the back garden, they found that the old princess was already sitting there waiting for them, perhaps because the two sons were a little puzzled, the old princess liked Xue Lian'er even more, and directly beckoned her to come to her side and sit down and ask for warmth, which made Mu Qingfeng and Bai Qianming stand awkwardly for a while.

After the greetings, the old princess said to the two sons who were in a daze: "Why, I can't move when I see my mother?" Find a place to do it yourself, is it possible that there is still a mother to serve the two of you? The old princess joked about this, although she was joking, but the old princess was still very satisfied with these two sons, and any one of them was a dragon among people.

"Okay, I'm not kidding you, I heard that King Lu of Dongzhen sent someone to petition?" Although the old princess is not in charge, important matters must be reported to her.

"That's right, concubine," Bai Chenming said, "I didn't expect that King Lu of Dongzhen was actually overwhelmed by a small country, according to the prince Zhu Ceguo, now the seaside town of Daxia is already a struggling livelihood, and this time I came to petition us on behalf of the imperial court." ”

"The court keeps prevaricating? There is no intention of sending troops? The old princess's cold words made Bai Chenming and Mu Qingfeng a little surprised, this mother's news is too well-informed, she has just disbanded for a long time.

"You don't have to be surprised, this news was not told to me, I guessed it myself, I knew that if something happened to Dongzhen, the imperial court would definitely ignore it, and even fall into the ground!" After the old princess finished speaking, Bai Chenming said that the mouths of the two of them were so open that they could almost put an egg, did their mother know what was going on?

"Don't guess. I have known this for a long time that this is the result, you are still young, some things are not very clear, you all know what has happened on the grassland for more than ten years, it is our Northern Expedition of Great Xia. The old princess said slowly.

Hearing what happened more than ten years ago, Xue Lian's heart couldn't help but be a little excited, it was that battle that made her lose her father, so that her young self was put in the position of Golden Sword Khan by the elders.

Of course, the old princess knew Xue Lian'er's inner feelings, and grabbed her tightly with both hands, but her mouth didn't stop: "You only know that the previous emperor died on the way back to Xinjiang, so he let his younger brother, the current emperor, ascend the throne, in fact, there is another secret in it, but this matter is too secret, not many people know it, and the four of them know it, but I and Princess Jiang Yunying were also in the army at that time, so I knew this secret." ”

"At that time, the emperor was so weak that he almost lost his breath, but although he was a little overjoyed. He likes to fight, but he knows that if he dies like this, maybe Daxia will fall apart because of the throne, but at that time, his prince was too young to be the master of the country at all, so he wanted to pass the throne to his younger brother. None of the participants expressed their opinions, except for Zhu Jie, the king of Dongzhen Lu, who said that he and the emperor's younger brother were close friends, but because he was a good friend, he knew that he had no talent to govern the country at all, at best, he was just a conservative talent, so he proposed to let them assist the prince until he admitted it, the emperor at that time was afraid of losing power, after all, the four kings were all famous, and he was afraid that his youngest son would not be able to control the scene, and finally chose to give the throne to his younger brother. The current emperor knew the content of this conversation, so he became more and more resentful of Zhu Wei, the king of Lu, who spoke out to stop him, and the relationship between the two will be like walking on thin ice in the future. How do you know that the little prince actually died of a violent illness in the palace later, no one knows the reason, Zhu Yu was angry and actually said that the emperor poisoned his nephew in order to consolidate his position, so the two completely tore their faces. The secret that the old princess said directly made Mu Qingfeng and the others drop their jaws.

"So the court is very willing to see this happen?" Bai Qiming asked.
