Mu Ying looked at the short line of words on the note.

Dumbfounding.

I thought it would be okay if you could draw me a cake.

Putting away the note, Mu Houye let out a long sigh, he didn't have any hope for reinforcements.

After all, Yingtian is too far away from Yunnan to reach the whip.

In this era, this is the case with border wars, often because the border has been fought for several months before the army in the capital has been drawn over.

Because whether it is preparing an army, collecting food and grass, or trekking, each of them takes a long time.

The most bitter thing is the border people, who have to go through months and years of war, and they are displaced and cannot live in peace.

Mu Ying turned her head to look at the black and gold eagle standing on her arm, with an unconcealable love in her eyes, and raised her hand to stroke the eagle's wings.

He naturally recognized this eagle, which was the exclusive letter eagle of His Royal Highness Taisun.

When I saw it for the first time, I was shocked by the Sky Eagle, and at that time, Mu Ying asked His Royal Highness the Taisun for one, but was ruthlessly refused.

Ordinary flying eagles can fly 4,000 miles a day at extreme speed, but most of them will rest or eat and drink halfway, and they can fly 3,000 miles a day.

But this black and gold eagle can sleep day and night, eat or drink, fly nearly 10,000 miles at extreme speed, and its eagle eyes are as sharp as a battle-hardened general, and ordinary people dare not look at it.

For those who march and fight, this black and gold eagle is simply a treasure.

The battlefield is changing rapidly, especially in this era of inconvenient information transmission, sometimes your news is faster than the enemy, even a stick of incense will completely affect the success or failure of the entire battle.

As soon as Mu Ying's arm was raised, the black gold eagle soared into the sky, and after a long sky roar, it flew away into the distance.

"Father."

At this time, Mu Ying's eldest son, Mu Chun, came to his side.

The five sons of the Mu family, in addition to the four sons and five sons who are too young, the first three sons Mu Chun, Mu Cheng, and Mu Ang, are all battle-hardened generals, especially Mu Chun, who has been with Mu Ying since he was a child.

In the original historical trajectory, Mu Chun took over Yunnan after the death of Mu Ying Hongwu in the 25th year, and then died of illness in the 31st year of Hongwu, that is, this year, and his brother Mu Cheng succeeded Mu Fu.

However, with the appearance of Master Zhu, many people's lives have changed, even his father Mu Ying is alive and well, and Mu Chun is naturally alive and well.

"What's wrong?"

Mu Ying glanced at Mu Chun, and saw that her eldest son's face was wrong, and her brows furrowed slightly.

"Luchuan secretly reported that since a few days ago, a large number of war elephants in Luchuan have moved along Mubang, Mengyang, Laos and other places."

War elephants.

Mu Ying's eyes flashed with cold light.

Ten years ago, the lord of Luchuan, Si Lunfa, made a rebellion, and after breaking through Jingdong Mansion, he poured the strength of the whole country and sent 300,000 troops to attack Dingbian Mansion in Yunnan, wanting to defeat Mu Ying, the spokesman of the Ming Dynasty in Yunnan, in order to make the Quartet Tusi submit to him.

At that time, the war was tight, and Mu Ying had no way to wait for the army to meet, so he could only lead 30,000 iron cavalry to meet Silunfa first, which was a big break in history.

Then he joined forces with Geng Bingwen, who came later, and crushed Silunfa with an army of 200,000, won a great victory, and pacified Luchuan.

In this battle, the most noteworthy point is that when Si Lunfa consciously lost to Mu Ying, he dispatched his trump card war elephant, which he thought was a magic weapon to win, but the result was an extremely ugly loss.

In front of Mu Houye, who made good use of firearms and invented the three-stage strike hundreds of years earlier than the West, this elephant herd was not enough to see at all.

"Borrowing war elephants, what does this Hu Yiyuan want to do?"

Hu Yiyuan, formerly known as Li Jichen, later changed his name to Hu Jichen, and changed his name to Hu Yiyuan after ascending the throne, which is the Hu family who usurped the Chen dynasty of Annam and changed the name of Annan to Dayu.

War elephants are useless to the Ming army, which has been verified by the Silun method ten years ago, what is the significance of Hu Yiyuan borrowing elephants from Luchuan?

Could it be that he is a fool?

Hu Yiyuan can usurp power and seize the throne, and his brain must be shrewd.

"In the name of Ben Hou, I sent a letter to Si Lun Fa, stating that if he dares to meddle in the affairs of the thieves again, or instigate other Tusi to oppose our army, it will be the time when his Si clan will be wiped out."

Mu Ying's tone was extremely cold.

He is not joking, ten years ago when the defeat of Luchuan, he wrote to Lao Zhu, simply did not do two endlessly, and completely wiped out the Luchuan Si clan, but at that time, Lao Zhu considered the Si clan to have a deep reputation in the surrounding Tusi, if the Si clan was destroyed, I am afraid that other Tusi will change.

In addition, this region of Yunnan is different from the Central Plains, and it has been a barbarian for a long time in ancient times.

It is the best policy to raze and control the party, which saved the life of the Si clan.

But at present, after more than ten years of governance in Yunnan, the situation in Yunnan is not the same as in the past, with Mu Ying's prestige in Yunnan, he has absolute confidence that even if Luchuan is destroyed, other toasts will not be able to make waves.

"The child is commanded!"

Mu Chun clenched his fists and was about to turn away.

And at this moment, a horn suddenly sounded outside the city.

I saw the camp of the Hu family's Yu army outside the city, and the Yu army in the camp rushed out one after another and began to prepare for the siege.

Mu Ying glanced at the sky, this meeting was just past the ugly time, and it was just when people were sleepy and tired.

If you don't sleep at this point, this Hu Yuancheng has a bag in his brain?

At least have breakfast!

After Hu Yiyuan usurped the throne, he only served as Emperor Dayu for a few months, and he took the initiative to abdicate as Emperor Taishang, and was succeeded by his second son Hu Hancang, but the power was still in his own hands.

As for his second son, Hu Yuancheng, he is the head of Zuo Xiangguo, King Wei, and the commander of the troops this time.

"Father, the Hu army is about to attack the city."

Mu Chun's brows furrowed, although Kaihua Mansion is a border city, it is a small city, and the city walls are not solid.

"Order all armies to be strictly guarded, and they are not allowed to leave the city without an order from this place."

"Violators, behead."

"Another three thousand elite riders are selected, and Ben Hou is useful."

Mu Ying's expression was calm, and her tone was not wavering.

Defending the city, this is not Mu Ying's battlefield style.

…………………

At this time.

In the Ying Heavenly Mansion, Song Zhong was rushing in the imperial city.

The imperial city is a place where the heavenly family is noble, and he can't step on a horse, so he can only rely on two legs to rush to Taisun's mansion.

"Song Zhong."

Just when Song Zhong was running quickly through the gate of the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry, he heard a voice, and subconsciously stopped and stared, only to see an elegant figure independent under the dark night and moonlight.

It was Master Zhu who was practicing the Great Shifting Technique, and by the way, he came to the Ministry of Engineering to inspect the progress of Dading.

Master Zhu is very satisfied with the overtime of the employees of the Ministry of Industry, and looking at their progress, the Dading he wants will soon be able to be poured.

Song Zhong was overjoyed when he saw that it was Zhu Xiongying, and he didn't have time to think about why His Royal Highness Taisun didn't sleep in the middle of the night and appeared in a place like the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty is critically ill!"

Song Zhong walked quickly to Zhu Xiongying's side and said in a low voice.

The emperor's critical illness is a top-secret matter.

If he doesn't pay attention to spreading it, the heads of his entire Song Zhong clan will not be enough to cut off.

"Lone knows."

Zhu Xiongying bowed slightly.

"Please hurry, Your Highness..."

He just wanted to say, 'Enter the palace quickly', but when he looked up, he found that Zhu Xiongying was gone.

Song Zhong stood in place, and the whole person was stunned.

What about people?!

The position where His Royal Highness the Taisun stands is the gate of the Ministry of Works, and the red walls on both sides of the gate are high.

At this moment, a group of night guards walked by.

"Have you ever seen anyone?"

Song Zhong hurriedly intercepted it and asked out loud.

When this team of guards saw the red flying fish suit worn by Song Zhong, they knew that Song Zhong's status was noble, so they naturally did not dare to slack off, and they all hugged their fists and saluted, and they all shook their heads and said that they did not see anyone.

Hiss...

Song Zhong suddenly gasped.

Chills in the back.

Didn't you see a ghost?

Or maybe you're in a hurry and hallucinating?

Song Zhong is now entangled in whether he was hallucinating because he was too anxious just now?

So do you want to continue to go to the Taisun Mansion to find His Royal Highness, or go back to the palace?

Just when Song Zhong was entangled.

Qianqing Palace, Warm Pavilion.

The old eunuch was standing beside Lao Zhu's couch, anxiously looking at a group of imperial doctors who were kneeling beside the bed to treat Lao Zhu.

"You quacks!"

Seeing that these imperial doctors were all sweating on their foreheads and did not dare to come out, the old eunuch guessed what the result was, and scolded angrily.

"Why has Commander Song been here for so long, and why hasn't His Royal Highness the Taisun arrived..."

The old eunuch muttered to himself anxiously.

"I'm here, you're lonely."

The voice rang out.

The old eunuch suddenly felt a chill on his back, turned his head in shock, and when he saw that it was Zhu Xiongying, he hurriedly bowed and saluted, thinking to himself how His Royal Highness Taisun was like a ghost, and he came out silently.

It was even more surprising how His Royal Highness Taisun was so fast, the palace was a long way from Taisun's Mansion.

Those imperial doctors also knelt down to pay homage.

"All out."

Zhu Xiongying glanced at the old Zhu on the sickbed, his face was gloomy, and his breath was weak.

"Yes."

The old eunuch bowed back, and did not forget to kick at the imperial doctors, who also followed one after another, and they all breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

Zhu Xiongying waved his hand, and a chair automatically came to the side of the bed.

sat down, Zhu Xiongying glanced at the rice paper that was torn to pieces on the ground, but had not been cleared by the palace people, and naturally knew what was written on it.

I can't help but sigh, ten thousand orders for the assets of the gods.

An essay, sprinkled with thousands of words, portrayed the image of the six kings as glorious and lofty, and he, the grandson of the dynasty, became a treacherous demon who bewitched the emperor and deceived the prince, and Zhu Xiongying, who saw it, wanted to do it himself.

No wonder Lao Zhu was angry after reading it.

Lao Zhu has been ruthless to everyone in his life, and he didn't blink his eyelids when he destroyed the whole clan, but he was only lenient and graceful to his sons.

The officials of the Hongwu Dynasty can be beheaded if they are greedy for sixty taels of silver, but the vassal king is tyrannical in the domain, and he is wrong, at most he is reprimanded by Lao Zhu, and the more serious it is nothing more than to summon Yingtian to reflect for a few months.

This is a typical self who has lived too many hard days and does not want his children and grandchildren to suffer anymore.

It's a pity that his sons don't understand Lao Zhu's hard work, and they are all blinded and blindfolded by power.

Not to mention whether it is because of their own soul wearing, under the influence of the butterfly effect, the seven kings of the northern realm, including King Qin, have changed to varying degrees, and the loyal ministers of King Xian are a fart in their eyes, and they think about rebellion all day long.

Even in the original history, none of Lao Zhu's sons made Lao Zhu worry-free, and most of them were tyrannical losers.

Zhu Xiongying looked at Lao Zhu, whose face was dark, and couldn't help sighing.

The current Lao Zhu is at the end of the crossbow, and he has to endure the great torture of illness.

Reaching out to Lao Zhu's mouth, Zhu Xiongying took out the last Soul Resurrection Pill in the ring and sent it into Lao Zhu's mouth, the pill melted in his mouth, and the effect was extremely fast, and he could see that Lao Zhu's face slowly calmed down, and his face was also slightly bloody.

'Vitality. ’

'Old Zhu, what is your vitality? ’

Zhu Xiongying didn't think about the Seven Turns Divine Yang Pill to be refined in this round of cultivation, after all, it would take so long and so many medicinal materials, and even the pill that would be integrated into the power of incense in the world.

Even in the past ten years, Zhu Xiongying had never seen any kind of pill that required such high refining requirements.

And looking at the introduction of the efficacy of the Seven Turns Shenyang Pill, even if a person is dead, it can be saved.

But his intuition told Zhu Xiongying that this Seven Turns Divine Yang Pill was not Lao Zhu's wisp of vitality.

Or rather, not the core point.

If you can't find that core, even if you practice the Seven Turns Divine Yang Pill, I'm afraid it will be useless to Lao Zhu.

Because Lao Zhu's biggest problem is the fate, once the fateful character is condemned to death, all other operations are in vain.

…………………

Late at night, Liu Rixin's mansion.

The coquettish concubine was lightly dressed in tulle, reclining on the bed, boredly playing with the ribbon around her waist, and from time to time glanced at Liu Rixin who was sitting in front of the eucalyptus.

The little old man was playing with his turtle shell in front of the eucalyptus, this was already his two hundredth divination today, and there was only one thing about divination, the emperor's vitality.

Liu Rixin's brows were furrowed very tightly, he was desperate this time, but the wisp of vitality in the dark seemed to be close at hand, but it was impossible to fathom.

"Do you really want to use that trick?"

Liu Rixin took a deep breath and made a choice in his heart.

He learned the art of divination from his teacher since he was a child, and on the day he left the school, the master taught him a secret technique of pressing the bottom of the box, and warned him not to use this trick unless it was a last resort.

Small kiosk

Everything in heaven and earth has days in the dark.

Once this secret technique is used, the longevity will be sharply reduced by ten years.

Although Liu Rixin didn't know if the master's words were bluffing him, after all, Shouyuan itself is very metaphysical.

'I should have lived to ninety-nine, and now I am only seventy-three, even if I live ten years!' ’

The old man silently calculated.

Just as he was about to do it, he suddenly thought again.

What if I don't live to be ninety-nine, if it's seventy-nine, then I won't have to braided my hair soon after I finish using the secret technique.

No way.

You have to get back to basics first.

Liu Rixin looked at the charming and seventeen-year-old concubine on the bed, and his heart suddenly became hot.

Pulling out the eucalyptus table drawer, Liu Rixin prepared a health pill for His Royal Highness the Grand Sun.

Suddenly, his face changed.

He found that he was missing one of the health pills he had carefully stored.

This was given by His Royal Highness the Taisun, so Liu Rixin remembered the number very clearly, obviously there were four left, and now there are only three left.

Liu Rixin had a chuckle in his heart, suddenly thought of something, and then turned the turtle shell and made a hexagram at a very fast speed.

This hexagram is to calculate the color for yourself.

"Master, sleep, people are so sleepy, they can't hold on~"

The concubine's coquettish voice came.

And when the divination ended, Liu Rixin, who had already obtained the hexagram, was trembling with his hands.

According to his hexagram, the concubine and the little king next door dug wells 2.5 times more than him.

Old man Liu wanted to cry very much.

is old, and finally used his pension ruthlessly, spending a hundred taels of silver to take a concubine to exercise his muscles, and he was even cuckolded!

Is there such a bully for the elderly?!
