"It's kind of interesting, the one who didn't die after a nail...... Is there really such a person? Could it be the Inheritor of the Heavenly Destiny of Great Xia?" Miyamoto said. 絀

"But Great Xia should not have a person who inherits the mandate of heaven, because of this heavenly rule."

"Although Great Xia has the Heavenly Rule of not seeing immortals, it does not mean that there will not be a Heavenly Mandate Bearer, and now that we are attacking Great Xia, the people of Great Xia will definitely want to kill us all, this may be the Heavenly Destiny." The turtle girl said in a deep voice.

"It doesn't matter, no matter what you don't see an immortal, it doesn't hurt to walk in the world as a swordsman, just to hone your sword heart." After Miyamoto Ichizo finished speaking, he turned around and walked out with his lean body in tow.

At the same time, a subordinate general hurriedly rushed in: "General, they have withdrawn from Qingyang City!"

"What?" The bee suspects something is wrong with his ears.

"Our people have already entered, Qingyang City is empty, and there is no one left!"

Crazy Bee's heartbeat began to speed up, he thought that if the Lake City group failed, there would be no further progress in the battle in a short period of time, but he didn't expect the other party to take the initiative to retreat from Qingyang City, who was behind them to help them? 絀

But it can also be a trap.

"Send a team and search all parts of the city." Wild Bee ordered.

"The lieutenant has already sent someone, and there is no one! The granaries in the city are empty! There were no horses, and a large number of footprints were found at the west gate, and it was determined that all the people in the city were heading in the direction of Lake City!"

"So, we've got a place to stay!" The muscles bulged all over the bee, and he opened his arms and laughed wildly, "Destiny is on my side! Order the whole army to enter the city at once!"

……

……

This is not urgent, but also absolutely has nothing to do with comfort, the entire Qingyang City army with a large number of wounded and innocent people, finally arrived in Hucheng a few days later, in just one day, the number of people in Hucheng increased to an extremely exaggerated number, and with the arrival of the Qingyang City soldiers and civilians, not only the pressure of law and order, but also the panic and fear of the front line being breached. 絀

Fortunately, Lake City is a special capital, and after enduring the long torture and suppression of the Taishou family, the people of Lake City have long learned to live under heavy pressure.

And their worship and trust in Su Lin made them let down their guard and accept this group of exiles with pity and care.

However, on the other hand, the morale of the army was extremely low, and the morale of the army was dissipated to an unbelievable level, rumors spread in the army, and rumors invaded the people, and suddenly everyone in Hucheng was panicked, as if the cruel thieves could rush out of Qingyang City at any time and attack this hub of soldiers.

In the few days since he arrived in Lake City, Su Lin listened to Mo Qiurong's complaints every day, although the other party's words were still respectful and humble, but his tone had already changed from the initial expectation to a strong question.

And those who questioned Su Lin's behavior were not only Mo Qiurong, but also Mo Liangsheng and Lu Zhuyu, who heard the news.

Once a piece of news is terrified by everyone, then the news will be spread by everyone in the shortest possible time, and the same is true at this moment.

Su Lin had already thought of Zhu Minben, who was sitting on top of the temple, with a furious expression when he heard that Qingyang City had fallen. 絀

Mo Qiurong's initiative to cede the city has a far-reaching impact that is difficult to estimate, and for those ministers who have betrayed the country, this move is a bad move that will make them lose their bargaining chips.

Rather than seeing the Dongying army in a state of collapse, they would rather the war continue forever, so that they could always make profits from it and carry power for themselves.

For the emperor, there will be an indelible trust gap between the imperial court and the border generals, and this terrible chain of suspicion will destroy the unity of the monarch and the ministers, and the emperor will have to pay more attention to his own people.

And most importantly, the people's hearts, if the people of Great Xia know that this is a humiliating move to retreat without a fight, it is inevitable to be disappointed in the imperial court and the front-line soldiers.

They were forced to frugate, endure famine and exile, and squeeze their blood out of themselves to feed their armies against the thieves, and when such efforts were exchanged for cowardly and unreasonable concessions, their confidence would be evaporated.

these

These are very serious problems, Su Lin thought of them from the beginning, but although he didn't know how to govern the country, these things could still be handled, but they required some complicated preparation and negotiation.

"When the news reaches the capital, Your Majesty will definitely condemn you, what will we do then?" 絀

Mo Qiurong didn't know when he came to Su Lin's side, his expression was quite solemn.

He has thought a lot in the past few days, and it will definitely not work if he wants to find some excuses for the destruction of the city, the geographical location of Qingyang City is special, and the distance between it and the nearest sheep pass is not more than 100 miles.

He reported that Qingyang City could not defeat the Dongying army and was occupied, His Majesty must not believe it, and there are still some hostile parties in the court who are also monks, and they must have noticed that Zhang Hufen and Liu Tong were killed by monks, and it is impossible for him to be fooled around.

Su Lin's step can be said to have exhausted the prestige that his father had accumulated in the court, if he had a choice, he would never choose to give up the city, but the reality is that he has no choice at all, and he is not qualified to refuse at all.

Younger brother Mo asked "Zhuyu in front", even the ten thousand enemies who were still invincible under the heavenly rules like Chu Beiling were slaughtered by Su Lin, even if he held the tiger talisman in his hand, what qualifications did he have to fight with this monster?

In any case, the wood is already in the boat, and I am afraid that this time it will be difficult to escape the serious crime.

Of course, he will definitely not sit still, but what to do next, Mo Qiurong has no clue, he can only count on this Tianzun Holy Son to really have a plan. 絀

"What then? What else can I do? The Emperor is a mortal, can you tell him clearly?" Su Lin glanced at Mo Qiurong, "He won't treat you with a capital crime, let the people of the Mo Party help you speak, and I will also let the Imperial Doctor help you speak, so let's get through this time first."

"What the hell are you going to do?"

"A few days ago, I asked Nan Zhixian to leave a human puppet near Qingyang City, as a spy, not long ago, he had already seen the Dongying Army carving spell formations on the walls of Qingyang City, which proves that they should have verified that the Heavenly Strip of Qingyang City has become invalid."

"Is this because Qingyang City is no longer considered the territory of Great Xia?"

"Probably yes. Before that, I've listed a few prerequisites for the tenanine to work.

The first possibility: there are no immortals in Daxia, and this geographical scope is only the scope of the Tianti in effect, which happens to coincide with the geographical scope of the Daxia Kingdom, in fact, even if the country changes dynasties and changes from the Daxia Kingdom to the Great Liang Kingdom, the Tiantiao is still in effect.

Obviously, this possibility can already be ruled out. 絀

The second possibility: the determination of the effective scope depends on the cognition of all the people of the Great Xia Kingdom, that is, the vast majority of the people believe that Qingyang City belongs to Great Xia, then the Heavenly Rule will take effect.

But now that Qingyang City has not been lost for a long time, it has only spread a few passes at most, and the imperial court does not know, and the people in other remote areas do not know, they all think that this place should still belong to Great Xia, but the Heavenly Rule is still invalid.

What's more, there are not many people who know Qingyang City, what the common people care about is firewood, rice, oil and salt, old mothers, wives and children, it is enough to know the capital around the village, and what are the names of the cities on the most border are meaningless to them.

So, this second option may not be right either.

Then the result is the third one: the determination of the scope of effect depends on the people who live in the land, they think that the land still belongs to them, and they consider themselves to be the people of the Great Xia Kingdom, then ...... The rules will come into effect."

Mo Qiurong nodded, this very well-reasoned detailed analysis made him feel a lot more at ease, which proved that Su Lin actually thought a lot, and the attitude he showed to do things as soon as he patted his head was just an appearance.

"And then?" 絀

"Ask your father later, then Zhu Xiansi will ask me again, and your father will also ask me again, I can't get around these two people, I must say it, but I don't want to say it again, I'm here to defeat Dongying, and not to teach you to use your brain."

Su Lin glanced at Mo Qiurong dissatisfied, turned around and left.

Mo Qiurong opened his mouth in embarrassment, extremely shocked, he has been familiar with the art of war since he was a child, and he has been trained on the battlefield for more than 20 years

Su Lin said as if he didn't understand anything, which made Mo Qiurong feel humiliated.

"General Mo, just get used to it, that's how he is...... I can't be a man." Nan Zhixian didn't know when, and slowly walked down from the city wall.

"I've seen Master Nan." Mo Qiurong politely hugged his fists.

Nan Zhixian smiled and waved his hand, and took out a piece of paper from his arms: "General Mo, please go and collect some of these medicinal herbs, especially the few medicinal herbs I marked out, which are particularly important."

Mo Qiurong's smile suddenly stiffened, he took the medicine list, read it again, although he couldn't understand the names of most of the medicinal materials, but he also recognized several of the familiar medicinal materials, such as hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, ambergris syrup, and shark wings are extremely rare, even the Tai Hospital in the palace has not many reserves. 絀

"Master Nan, what is this?" Mo Qiurong felt that his head was big.

He can't do it.

"Su Lin wants to use it, I'm sorry for you." Nan Zhixian smiled very politely, then arched his hand and swaggered away.
