Gamal, Tubutu, and Luo Luji, located in the northeast, were the last wave of Taiji to be executed, and before them, there were still twenty Taiji who were secretly executed by Taoist masters and Zhuge Gong. It's winter, heavy snow is closing the road, and the other tribes haven't heard from it yet.

On the first day of the lunar month, the royal court.

Xiao Yu stood under the corridor, outside the corridor was a square patio, he held a Zhuge Gong secret letter that had just been brought back by Daoist Elder Sun Yun in his hand, his brows were slightly furrowed, and his mood was like this winter sky.

"King Yan Chi?" Xiao Yu looked up at the sky, there was a wind flying through the snow particles under the gray sky, and the snow had stopped last night, and the snow had accumulated a thin layer in the patio.

Yan Chi Wang Wan Yan De, the father of Wan Yan Hong, one of the five kings of Hou Jian, Xiao Zheng, the regent of Hou Jian, lost power and was forced to flee Hou Jian, and he also had a share of the credit of this person.

Xiao Yu lowered his head, and the snow under his feet hung another layer of hoarfrost last night.

Worse.

"The eldest prince. Someone said behind Xiao Yu's back.

Xiao Yu turned around, and he was an old man who was a head and a half shorter than Xiao Yu, wearing a purple robe, and a layer of hoarfrost hanging from his beard.

Xiao Yu stretched out his hand to pat the snow particles off the old man's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Old Zi, how is the harvest?"

Zi Shuiyang put his hands in his sleeves, indifferent to Xiao Yu's movements, and said expressionlessly: "I met a swordsman on the road, and his methods were very good, and he was entangled all the way, and no one could help anyone." Later, someone from Houjian's side answered, although Yan Hong's entourage was killed by me, but I still let that kid run back to Houjian. ”

After coming out of the Witch Sect Ancestral Court, Xiao Yu got the help of two celestial guests, and he was not ambiguous, and immediately asked Zi Shuiyang to personally kill Wan Yan Hong, but he didn't expect that Wan Yan Hong's hole cards were quite a lot, and he could escape from Zi Shuiyang's hands, as for the swordsman Zi Shuiyang said, I am afraid that it is Shangguan Xianchen's fourth sword slave.

After Zi Shuiyang finished talking about the results of his trip, he had been observing Xiao Yu's reaction to see if Xiao Yu was annoyed or regretful, but unfortunately he only saw a smiling face that was always calm.

Xiao Yu hummed lightly, and then said, "Elder Zi has worked hard this trip, go and rest." ”

Zi Shuiyang nodded, turned around, and walked out of the patio silently.

Xiao Yu sighed in his heart.

The master of heaven and man, how can it be so easy to use, it is not necessary to be offered as a bodhisattva.

Xiao Yu snorted coldly, and the letter paper in his hand turned into ashes. Turned and walked out of the cloister and walked towards the main hall of the front yard.

In the main hall, Lin Yinping sat on the main seat on the right side, casually skimming the tea foam with the lid of the cup, Shen Dongzan sat in the first position on the left side, his face was a little gloomy, "Your Highness, there are some things I have to say, now Xu Lin is eyeing the tiger, in the words of the Central Plains, it is the autumn of critical survival, some people can be careful not to move, I heard that someone proposed to let the princess and the concubine go to the eastern capital to apologize? ”

Lin Yinping put down the tea bowl in his hand and smiled, "Shen Lao is too worried, Yinping knows the stakes, and the land of tigers and wolves in the Eastern Capital is still avoided, how can he thank him for any false crime." ”

Shen Dongzan's eyes narrowed, "That's fine, I'm so relieved." Huang Hanji has personally investigated this matter, Your Highness rest assured, I want to see who dares to play such a trick gun underneath. ”

At this time, Xiao Yu walked into the main hall from the side door, and when he heard this, he laughed at himself: "It is difficult to prevent thieves, it has been like this since ancient times." ”

What Shen Dongzan said was expected by Xiao Yu, but the main battle and the main peace were not separated, Xiao Yu did not oppose the main peace, but now the situation has been ridden to the neck, and he has to let Xiao Yu go to the eastern capital to kneel and take the head to sue for peace, which is just that he Xiao Yu can't get along with him.

Shin Dongzan stood up from his seat, "Horse." ”

Xiao Yu sat on the main seat on the left side, raised his hand and pressed it towards Shen Dongzan.

Shen Dongzan did not sit down immediately, but waited for Xiao Yu to sit down completely before sitting down again.

Lin Yinping handed over a letterhead that was still sealed with fire paint.

Xiao Yu took it and opened it with his hands.

What the secret letter wrote made Xiao Yu's pupils shrink suddenly.

Qin Quan, the king of Jin, led 50,000 troops of the Son of Heaven, and Zhili Prefecture, Hanoi Prefecture, Xiliang Prefecture, Shaanzhou, and Xihe Prefecture, each of the five prefectures dispatched troops and horses, with a total of 200,000 troops to the central capital. Coupled with the 230,000 iron cavalry of Zhongdu itself, and the strength of the major camps on the Xihe Plain, the strength of Zhongdu has reached an unprecedented 500,000.

Obviously, nearly forty years of imperial career made Emperor Zheng very courageous, and he even mobilized the power of the Great Zheng Banguo to capture the grassland in one fell swoop. If you can conquer the grassland, not to mention anything else, you can only achieve what the proprietor has not achieved, expand the territory, and make a name for eternity, which emperor can refuse?

The last splendor.

Emperor Zheng wants to use the last bit of strength of Da Zheng, a dying man, to realize his eternal dream of being an emperor.

Of course, how Emperor Zheng died, this is not Xiao Yu's concern, what he cares about is that in the current situation, Emperor Zheng seems to be going to send troops to the grassland in the cold winter?

"I really don't plan to leave a little time for Xiao, even if it's a time to be a prince. Xiao Yu sneered and handed the secret letter in his hand to Shen Dongzan, who was the next leader.

Shen Dongzan just glanced at it generally, and he was already shocked, and said in shock: "500,000? Emperor Dazheng is crazy? As long as the grassland cannot be defeated within half a year, the logistics grain and grass alone will be dragged down by the central capital." ”

Xiao Yu stroked his forehead and sighed: "The key is that we can last for the second half of the year? Even if we hold out for the second half of the year, how many people will be left? How much land? Qin Gong, an old madman, is not afraid of letting the fishermen over there benefit from Houjian? Or is it really getting older and more confused?"

Shen Dongzan pondered for a long time and spit out four words, "What a great joy." ”

Xiao Yu picked up the tea on the table that had become slightly cold and took a sip, "When I was a child, I studied with my grandfather, and my grandfather said that this world is a huge cage, and we are all people locked in cages, whether it is the emperor or the beggar on the side of the road, what rules must be followed, these rules are not set by anyone, they are accumulated by generations of people, even if it is the emperor, you can't act arbitrarily." But now it seems that Emperor Zheng has been the king for forty years, and these rules are about to be unable to tie him up. ”

Listening to these Confucian arguments, Lin Yinping just turned his head and smiled.

Shen Dongzan heard something about it, and his right hand, which originally wanted to serve tea, stopped in mid-air, then slowly withdrew his hand, and turned his head to look at Xiao Yu with a little surprise.

Xiao Yu stretched out his hand and stared at the wrench that Lin Yinping chose for him on his thumb, the quality was not very good, but it was verdant, looking at it was a bright color, and said slowly: "Some people say that rules are born to be broken, and they are very atmospheric, but I don't like it." After all, there are no rules, there is no circle, the rules can be changed, but they must not be broken. ”

Xiao Yu said lightly, Shen Dongzan didn't think deeply about the previous rules at first, but when he heard this, he chewed out the meaning, and he felt a chill down his spine, didn't Xiao Yu plan to retreat to Rehai, but to have a head-to-head battle with Emperor Zheng's 500,000 army?

Xiao Yu finally pulled out his gaze from the wrench and said with a smile: "Xiao is not talented, and he is willing to teach Emperor Zheng a lesson and teach him the rules." ”
