Knowing that He Nuanliang was already anxious at this time, he didn't bother anymore, just stood quietly aside, quietly waiting for He Nuanliang to think about a result.

After thinking for a while, He Nuanliang coughed lightly and said, "Since there is already some connection between the East Palace and Xuanwu Village, why don't we find an opportunity to sow discord and break their connection like this, what do you think?" ”

He Nuanliang's eyes turned to Gu Zhiheng. And after Gu Zhiheng received He Nuanliang's eyes, he couldn't help lowering his head and thinking for a while. When he thought about it to the end, Gu Zhiheng couldn't help but feel that what He Nuanliang said was really reasonable, so he nodded a few times and said, "Then do what Liang'er said." It's just that how to start this in order to sow discord between Xuanwuzhuang and Donggong without any flaws? ”

"Now, we have to wait for the time."

He Nuanliang's eyes crossed a glimmer of light, and he said with determination. And Gu Zhiheng looked at He Nuanliang's inevitable appearance, and naturally had some confidence in He Nuanliang, so he nodded and said with a smile: "This king believes in you." ”

So the two left the palace and returned to King Wu's mansion. In the days that followed, the two of them were naturally waiting for a suitable opportunity, which was enough for the two to effortlessly sow discord between Lin Qingyuan and Shen Huo, so that they could take advantage of the situation.

I thought that such a God-given opportunity would have to wait for a while anyway, but I didn't expect that after waiting for a few days, Gu Zhiheng and He Nuanliang ushered in this opportunity.

This should have been an ordinary early dynasty. Before today's dynasty, everyone's thoughts were like this, even the emperor, or Shen Huo, Gu Zhiheng and the others were no exception.

However, the court, which should have been calm and like a quiet lake, caused an uproar because of a news reported by the spies.

There weren't many affairs in the early dynasty today, so the emperor only dealt with it for a while, and he basically dealt with everything. The emperor couldn't help but raise his head, his majestic eyes swept towards everyone below, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, do you still have matters to report?" ”

Seeing that everyone was shaking their heads, the emperor wanted to announce his retirement from the dynasty. At this moment, a figure came from outside the palace in the distance. The figure galloped all the way to the court, kneeling in the main hall, and then barely stopped.

The sudden change made everyone a little stunned. All of a sudden, everyone's eyes were focused on this person. I saw that this figure was not good-looking, and there was no memorable appearance on his body. The only thing that was a little different was the sweat on his head that came from running, and the anxious look on his face that could not be concealed.

These two things, which make the man who is not very outstanding in appearance, seem to be a little embarrassed, making people laugh when they see it. However, when the emperor looked at this person's condition, he frowned and couldn't laugh.

There is no other reason. The spies of the border, who have always been the least conspicuous of ordinary faces, are best suited to perform the duties of spies. If the appearance attracts the attention of the enemy, it is easy for people to notice.

Therefore, the spies arranged by the emperor are all characters like this man, who cannot be found in the crowd. And the emperor in front of him also knows that he is the best among the spies. How could such a person return to the capital? Could it be that there is a problem at the border?

Thinking of this, the emperor's face immediately wrinkled, and he couldn't take it lightly. The emperor frowned and looked at the man and asked, "You came back this time, but what went wrong at the border?" ”

"Exactly." The emperor had only been thinking for a while, and the spy also took the opportunity to relieve his breath, spit out deeply, and didn't care about wiping the sweat that was about to drip from his head, so he only said: "There has been a big change at the border." ”

As he spoke, the spy seemed to think of something and still had palpitations, and breathed deeply, unable to hide the panic on his face.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. All the ministers, you look at me, I look at you, and they all see a look of shock in each other's eyes. Even Shen Huo, who was always calm, couldn't help but raise his head, and the look of surprise in his eyes couldn't be hidden.

- How much has happened at the border that this person has such a panicked and anxious look on his face, and how can he not hide it?

For a while, everyone's eyes, even the emperor's eyes, were focused on this little man. This spy may have never received so much attention in his life, he was already very nervous, but now he is even more nervous, the sweat part of his back has dried out, forming a thick white stain on the black clothes; He was still sweating constantly, and his clothes were getting wet a little bit.

And more drops of sweat dripped from the head and fell to the ground, making a continuous sound, "plop", "plop", which was enough to show the tension in the spout's heart.

The spy swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then he barely suppressed the nervousness in his heart, took a few deep breaths, and told the information of these days. And as the spies spoke, everyone's eyes couldn't help but turn to the tense border.

"Your Majesty. Do you still remember the Chu and Qi states that fought with our Great Zhou and were already defeated? The spy didn't know what he remembered, so he asked the emperor first.

The emperor was a little inexplicable by the spy's question, frowned, thought for a while, and then replied with some uncertainty: "I naturally remember." It's just that these two countries have already become defeated countries, and then become vassals of the Great Zhou? ”

Said here. The emperor was already obviously a little impatient: "Needless to say, the foreshadowing on the side can just talk about the key points." ”

Hearing what the emperor said, the spies didn't dare to play any tricks anymore, so they could only answer honestly: "Since the two countries have become vassal states, the vitality of the Qi country has been greatly damaged, and it has been completely submissive, and it is difficult to become any climate: but this Chu country is not ordinary." ”

Speaking of this, the spy seemed to have thought of something that made him extremely frightened, swallowed his saliva repeatedly, and then continued: "These days, the King of Chu doesn't know where to find a capable person to assist him. ”

"So what?" When the emperor heard this, he was full of disapproval, "Is this kind of news enough to scare you like this?" In that case, I don't think you'd better be a spy at the border, just be a turtle with a shrunken head. ”

The emperor's ridicule swept away the dull atmosphere above the Chao Court, and the ministers couldn't help laughing, and the happy atmosphere spread throughout the hall, obviously they didn't believe that a mere Chu State could become a big climate.

Among them, only Shen Huo frowned alone, as if he had thought of something, and the worry in his eyes could not be concealed.

Wrong. Shen Huo thought worriedly, just a Chu country, it would not be enough to scare this person who had been tempered in the border land like this. Among them, there must be something strange beside it.

Although thinking like this, looking at the current atmosphere, Shen Huo couldn't rashly expose what he wanted in his heart, so he could only stand aside worriedly, waiting for the spies to report further.

And the spies were among them, listening to everyone's ridicule, and their faces were already red, presumably because everyone didn't think about the news they had worked so hard to send, and secretly felt angry.

But even if he was angry, the spy was helpless, just because all the nobles present were nobles, even if the spy was ruthless, he could only pretend to be stable on his face, and honestly waited for everyone to laugh enough before he spoke.

When the laughter of the crowd subsided, the spy continued: "If it is said that this is only one strange man, it is not afraid. But this angry man seems to be particularly familiar with the art of military training, and these days, the strength of the Chu State has increased greatly. ”

This sentence made everyone laugh. Everyone looked at each other and looked at each other a few times, and they all saw a little horror and disbelief in their eyes.

Looking at everyone like this, the spy felt a little comforted, and then said, "Not only that. The state of Chu has now greatly increased its troops, and has taken the opportunity to annex the surrounding small countries, and has achieved unparalleled strength, at this time...... is raising troops to attack the Great Zhou. ”

This last sentence completely made everyone unable to calm down anymore. This sentence is like a small pebble, which is not very conspicuous at first glance, but after being thrown into the calm lake, it causes an uproar. For a time, the stone broke the earth.

Among them, the performance of the emperor is the most unbelievable. I thought that Chu State was just a small vassal country, and it would not become a climate anyway, but I didn't expect Chu State to be able to cause such a big wave.

The emperor frowned and looked at the spy: "Can you guarantee that what you said is true?" If half of the sentence is not true, Hugh blames me for asking you. ”

"Your Majesty, what the little one said is naturally true." Faced with the emperor's ugly face, the spy didn't dare to say anything, so he could only tell the truth: "Don't hide it, at present, the army of Chu has already attacked Jingzhou." ”

This Jingzhou is a major fortress in the border pass, easy to defend and difficult to attack. If the Chu army has already broken through here, it is equivalent to the opening of the Great Zhou Gate, and then the actions of the Chu State will naturally be very easy.

When the emperor heard this, his heart tightened. looked at the spy and asked, "What is the current battle situation, Jingzhou can be broken by the Chu army?" ”

"Not yet. After all, the terrain of Jingzhou can be regarded as a natural danger, even if the Chu army is now powerful, it is not a place that can be captured in a short time and a half. ”

The spy's words made everyone's hearts feel relieved. However, in the next sentence, everyone's hearts became nervous for a while: "Even like this, Jingzhou can't stand it anymore, Jingzhou Taishou is struggling with the Chu army and negotiating." ”
