On the other side, Baling Pass, which is less than two hundred miles away, is in the general's mansion.

Looking at the handwritten letter from Emperor Qian, the eldest princess Xia Qingwu frowned, and then threw it directly into the brazier.

"Humph! Don't let me make a move, do you? ”

She said coldly.

It didn't take long to see Pei Tianlin also walk in.

Seeing that Xia Qingwu's face was very unhappy, he seemed to have guessed something.

"General Xia, it seems that Emperor Qian did not act as you wished according to your plan?"

"Yes, you're right, she refused."

Xia Qingwu didn't hide it, and sneered: "She asked me to continue to guard here, and if the danger in Shiye City continues to expand, let me send troops to suppress it!" ”

"On the surface, this is to let me continue to consolidate the peace of the frontier, but in fact, I just don't want to interfere!"

"What does General Xia mean that Emperor Qian has already guessed your mind?"

Pei Tianlin said with some surprise.

If this is the case, then Emperor Qian's intelligence is even more powerful than he imagined!

It can be said that I don't know where I am higher than Emperor Wu!

Hearing this, Xia Qingwu shook her head.

"Unlikely, everything I did made sense."

"Moreover, judging from the news from the palace, the ministers also suggested that I send troops to suppress Shiye City, so it is impossible for Your Majesty to suspect that I am going to rebel! It won't be so sudden! ”

In this regard, Xia Qingwu is quite confident!

She thinks she's ambitious, but she's hiding it well!

At least for now, Emperor Qiandi will never notice it!

"Then in that case, isn't there anyone in Stone City?"

Pei Tianlin was a little puzzled.

Xia Qingwu's smile became even more chilly.

"On the contrary, this time I went to Stone Town to suppress the rebellion, but it was someone we all knew!"

This is very clear!

Pei Tianlin didn't think much about it, and immediately reacted!

"Lin Yiqiu!"

He almost gritted his teeth and spit out word by word!

Xia Qingwu nodded and said, "Although it sounds incredible, Your Majesty, he did it. ”

"Let a eunuch lead the troops to quell the rebellion, which is also unique in the history of our country! Oh, that's interesting! ”

"This Lin Yiqiu, the means are indeed not simple! Escape from me! Can you still make Your Majesty so trusted! Very human can do it! ”

Although he hasn't really met Lin Yiqiu yet, Xia Qingwu has already regarded him as the most difficult opponent!

Pei Tianlin is even more so!

"General Xia, I said a long time ago that this dead eunuch is not so easy to deal with!"

"If we can't be careful, sooner or later we will suffer a big loss at his hands!"

He kindly reminded.

After all, with the lessons of the past, this Lin Yiqiu's martial arts, including intelligence, are all first-class!

Although Xia Qingwu attaches importance to Lin Yiqiu, she doesn't think that the other party will really hinder his ambitions!

She now has a large army at her disposal, and the situation is still going in the direction she expected! You're in control!

A moment later, a soldier walked into the house.

"Tell the General! Generalissimo Zhao of Northern Qi has arrived! ”

"Humph! It's finally here! Where is it now? ”

Xia Qingwu asked with a sneer.

The soldier bowed his head and continued to respond.

"I've already entered the customs, and I probably have time to come here with three incense sticks, general, are you going to invite him in?"

"Please, of course!"

Xia Qingwu laughed even more wantonly!

In her plan, Zhao Yuanhui, the marshal of the Northern Qi Dynasty, is an indispensable and important part!

About half an hour later, Baling Pass entrance.

A burly man in silver armor entered the gate accompanied by a group of guards.

And after a while, I saw that a soldier had already greeted him and took him to Xia Qingwu's mansion.

Xia Qingwu in the mansion gave Pei Tianlin a look.

The latter naturally understood, and immediately arched his hand: "Then I won't bother much, and retire first!" ”

After speaking, Pei Tianlin had already left.

And not long after he walked on his front foot, Zhao Yuanhui had already entered the mansion!

Seeing him come in, Xia Qingwu suddenly changed his expression, and hurriedly said politely: "General Zhao!" I've finally got you here! ”

She personally left as a greeting!

Zhao Yuanhui also showed a respectful gesture and said with a smile: "General Xia, don't come to harm, the last time we fought was three years ago!" ”

"General Zhao, those are all things in the past, there is no need to mention them again, this time I invited General Zhao to come, there are important things to discuss!"

Xia Qingwu pretended to be deep, and then waved his hand.

The other soldiers around naturally understood what they meant, and immediately closed the door and retreated.

At this time, Xia Qingwu poured the tea and handed it to Zhao Yuanhui.

"General Zhao, I think you should also understand what I mean, I have already told you in the secret letter before!"

Taking a sip of tea, Zhao Yuanhui frowned slightly.

To be honest, he still can't believe that the secret letter was written by Xia Qingwu himself.

After waiting for a long time, he said in a deep voice: "General Xia, do you really want to make a big plan?" ”

Acting as a great scheme is a euphemism, which literally translates to rebellion!

Xia Qingwu nodded.

"Now is the right time, and the plan will be successful! The turmoil I planned in Stone City was the first step! ”

"You also talked about this in your heart, but you didn't elaborate, General Xia, it's not a big plan, you really planned it?"

Zhao Yuanhui asked again.

Xia Qingwu smiled: "Naturally, if General Zhao doesn't believe it, I can give you a general explanation now!" ”

"Of course, this matter still needs General Zhao's help! After the deed is completed, I will not treat you Emperor of Northern Qi badly! I will keep my word! ”

"Then please ask General Xia to explain well, I'll listen to you!"

Zhao Yuanhui hurriedly stepped forward and pricked up his ears.

Xia Qingwu also approached him, and took a sip of tea before saying, "Specifically, it's just to find a reason to send troops!" ”

"Looking for a reason to send troops?"

Zhao Yuanhui was stunned!

"That's right! The riots in Stone City are for this purpose! ”

Xia Qingwu smiled slyly at the corner of her mouth.

"I caused a riot in Shiye City so that the emperor could send me to suppress it, so that I could have a legitimate reason to enter the hinterland with a large army!"

"Once the army enters, then the capital will have no gateway, and it will be at your fingertips!"

"When is General Naxia going to leave?"

Zhao Yuanhui asked Daoao.

Xia Qingwu shook her head after listening.

"It's a pity that Your Majesty doesn't allow me to act without permission, so if I resist the decree, I'm afraid I'll expose my intentions too early!"

"So what to do? Isn't that a waste of effort? ”

Zhao Yuanhui was really puzzled.

He thought that Xia Qingwu was ready to leave Shiye City!

But at this time, Xia Qingwu's eyes became even hotter, and she stared at Zhao Yuanhui!

"Next, I naturally need the help of you, the generalissimo!"

"Me?"

Zhao Yuanhui was confused.

Xia Qingwu's smile became cold!

"If it's a foreign enemy invading Stone City! Do you think I'm going to be able to send troops? ”
