Shangguan Li's heart sank.

Even though she had already controlled her expression for the first time, Wen Tu still caught her flickering waver.

"The king of Zhenbei should be thinking of quickly cutting through the chaos to solve the crisis in the north, and directly strangling the crisis in the other three realms in the cradle."

He said slowly.

"He does have the ability to do it, but the premise of success is that the southern and western realms have not made any moves yet, right?"

Shangguan Li understood what he meant almost instantly.

"Could it be that the wandering Zhu in the west and the alien race in the south have ...... No way. ”

She calmed down in an instant, and her face was cold and hard.

"It's still possible for Youzhu in the west, but there are many alien races outside the southern border, and they check and balance each other, even if they are really allied, how can the stragglers who have just gotten together break through the defense line in the south?"

Although she said so, she felt an ominous premonition envelop her heart like a lingering haze.

If you don't have a complete certainty, Wen Tu won't just say it.

Sure enough, Wen Tu chin slightly.

"Indeed, although the southern border is the weakest border land in the Great Zhou, the accumulation of thousands of years, no matter how bad it is, the barbarian race with a history of no more than a hundred years can easily break through."

Shangguan Li stared at him, waiting for him to say that "but".

"But what if the generals of the south don't want to hold the border?"

Shangguan Li's pupils shrank fiercely.

The shallow smile on Wen Tu's face also disappeared, his expression was faint, and his voice did not fluctuate in the slightest.

"Well, that's the last reminder. How, princess, are you going to kill me? ”

Shangguan Li half-lowered his eyebrows and was silent for a moment before raising his head.

"Are you telling me this because you think you're already winning? Or do you think I have nothing to do with you? ”

"Neither."

Wen Tu wasn't kidding.

"It's been many years, and things have been a lot more interesting since you and Xuanyuan Ye started to appear in my field of vision. This represents my gratitude. ”

Shangguan Li: "......"

"It's raining heavily in the afternoon, and if the princess isn't going to do anything to me, she'd better go back early."

After saying this, Wen Tu sat down again, picked up his fishing rod, and exposed his back to Shangguan Li with a big grin, as if he was not worried about her at all.

The originally cloudless sky did not know where a cloud drifted in.

It seems to be in response to the words of the warm coating.

Shangguan Li blinked her eyes slightly, and a large shadow cast by her eyelashes flashed, blocking all the emotions in her eyes.

"Senior, I don't know who wins or loses in the end."

With that, she tore off the veil from her face, turned around and strode away.

After she left, Wen Tu, who was originally motionless, suddenly sighed.

"The temper of not admitting defeat is also very similar to ......"

Shangguan Li soon left the palace and returned to the Jingtang.

Tianquan and Shaking Light are already waiting for her here.

Since Xuanyuan Ye threw the two of them to Shangguan Li, the two simply moved all their things over and lived directly in Jingtang, so that they could protect Shangguan Li at any time and listen to her dispatch.

She didn't hide anything from these two people, and repeated what Wen Tu said on the shore of the lake in the middle of the mountain.

Although he was a little interested in the gossip between the former envoy of the Scarlet Qing Dynasty and the former eldest lady Qi Yi, Tianquan immediately found the point.

"What does Wen Tu mean, the southern realm will change? Is it reliable? ”

"Eight or nine is not far from ten, he has no reason to lie to us at this time."

Shangguan Li poured herself a cup of cold water, and she didn't have the heart to make tea at this time.

"But even if the commander of the southern border rebels, most of the southern border are naval armies, and their combat ability on land is not high, and the aliens outside the southern border are even more scattered and brave, and they can't bounce for much time. As long as the state army comes forward, they can hold their footsteps and trap them in the Yangzhou area. ”

Tianquan frowned and analyzed.

"When the situation in the north eases a little, as long as you send a thousand-strong Zhenbei army to the south at will, you can immediately clear the southern border. What is the point of Wen Tu making this move now? ”

Shangguan Li pinched the bridge of his nose and suppressed a small flame in his heart called "the spring breeze blows and grows" called worry.

"Have you forgotten the sleepless bones?"

Tianquan was stunned for a moment, and then his face changed suddenly.

"Before, we all thought that the focus of this barbarian invasion was in the north, and we even considered that the north was a feint, but in fact, the main battlefield was Youzhu, who secretly received support from Biluolie, so we also deployed enough troops in the west."

Shangguan Li's voice was very calm, but there was a trace of anxiety hidden under the calm voice like ice, which could not be smoothed out no matter what.

She looked up slowly.

"But what if the main battlefield is in the South?"

Tianquan muttered.

"If the north and west borders are just to drag the prince down......"

"You're right."

Shangguan Li took over.

"The point is not whether Bi Luolie and You Zhu really want to hold off Xuanyuan Ye, but that they really have this ability."

It's not because they're much stronger than before, but now Xuanyuan Night only has ten days.

If the matter of the sleepless bones is not known, Bi Luo Lie and You Zhu already know.

They will drag Regulus to the north at any cost.

Even if they are not the opponents of the Zhenbei Army combined, if they don't pour out the strength of the whole clan in order to win, just to leave Xuanyuan Ye in the north.

Even if Xuanyuan Ye was really a god, it was impossible to escape this quagmire that had been piled up with tens of thousands of human lives.

"All the roads leading to the north must be full of ambushes now, right?"

Shangguan Li's voice was extremely cold.

"Wen Tu has accumulated over the years, although I don't know how much power he has, but the person who can cut off the connection between the northern border and the capital under Xuanyuan Ye's nose from a distance of thousands of miles will not be weak in any case."

Even if they knew about this conspiracy in advance now, the thousand-mile distance between the capital and the northern border must have been in danger everywhere.

It's a bureau.

A combination of the power of the two countries of Luo Lie and You Zhu, as well as the bureau that Wen Tu has worked hard for ten years.

In order to break the pillars of the Great Zhou, Xuanyuan Night's Bureau.

"I'll go."

Shake Light, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, though he may not have understood the conspiracy. But it was a matter of the prince's safety, and he understood this.

"No, you can't do it alone."

Tianquan immediately said.

"I ......"

"You two can't!"

Shangguan Li frowned and interrupted them.

"Have you forgotten that the antidote is not in our hands?"

"If the emperor knows the situation, there is no reason not to give us the antidote."

Shangguan Li shook his head.

"Why do you think I didn't move Wen Tu and came back alone?"

The two of them were silent, they really didn't expect it.

"Wen Tu's strength is far stronger than you and I imagined."
