As the son of a Confucian saint, Su Mu needed to rely on this identity and the name of a Confucian saint on the one hand to obtain cultivation resources and ensure his own safety.

On the other hand, I have to worry about my father coming back at any time and draining his soul.

Even more scheming, if my father really dies, other countries will not let him go, a Confucian species, and hunt him down all over the world.

All in all, it seems to be a death.

Of course, Su Mu also knew in his heart that it was basically impossible for the Confucian saint to die in the territory of the demon clan.

The fierce man who can overthrow the two saints and defeat the demon emperor wants to go, and no one can stop him.

Even if he really drew his brain to fight hundreds of millions of demon clans alone in the territory of the demon race, the momentum was bound to be earth-shattering, and it was impossible for the countries of the human race not to notice it at all.

But one thing can be confirmed, the Confucian saint must be in some trouble now, and he can't return to Yanguo for the time being.

It is precisely because other countries have seized on this that they are becoming more and more restless, and want to obtain new benefits to make themselves stronger.

"If the Confucian Sage doesn't come back, then within five years, the Yan Kingdom will inevitably face a new war."

Su Mu made his own inference in his heart.

So no matter what, only getting stronger is the king, and the only way to break the game.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a sense of guilt in his heart.

"Su Mu, Su Mu, how can you be so depraved!"

"Now that time is so tight for you, why do you come to enjoy Bige and chat with your sister and drink tea, what is the difference between this and wasting your life?"

"If you can't even restrain this little desire, then how can you talk about becoming stronger? How can we talk about cultivating and becoming immortals? ”

"Can't go on like this anymore!"

Su Mu blamed himself in his heart, and felt heartache and deep self-reflection for his time-wasting behavior.

After thinking about it, Su Mu put away his thoughts and prepared to say goodbye to the White Lotus Fairy, and then returned to the palace to continue his cultivation.

But as soon as he turned around, he saw that the White Lotus Fairy had changed into the tulle worn by the dancing girls in the hall at some point, and her delicate body was looming.

"Su Lang, what are you still doing in a daze~"

The White Lotus Fairy lay on the bed on her side, looked at Su Mu with affectionate eyes, and slightly hooked her green and jade fingers to him, lightly opening her lips and being very soft.

Seeing such a situation, Su Mu felt that even if he hesitated for a moment, it was an insult to his male identity.

"Coming, coming......"

Su Mu closed the window and trotted to the bed.

……

The Imperial Palace, the Morning Dew Hall.

Located behind the Imperial Study, the Chaolu Hall was a place for the emperor to rest and read books after his daily handling of government affairs.

If any of the ministers asked to see them, they would also wait in the Chaolu Palace, and the emperor would summon them to the imperial study, or they could come directly to the Chaolu Hall to meet the ministers.

At this time, in the Chaolu Palace, Shangshu's left and right servants Cheng Hongwen and Cheng Hongwu were already waiting here.

After receiving the edict from Emperor Yan, they immediately put down their affairs and rushed to the Chaolu Palace.

And after a while, Shang Shuling Sun Yi also arrived

Sun Yi is old, he is an old minister of the Three Dynasties, and although he is now seventy-six years old, he still has a childish face and looks very energetic.

At his age, he should have returned home early, but because his prestige was too high, if he retired, there would be no one in the court to receive the post of Shangshu Ling, so he was repeatedly retained by Emperor Yan.

However, even if he received Shang Shuling's position, Sun Yi did not care about government affairs, and his big and small affairs were basically handled by his protégé, that is, the two servants and servants.

Unless it's a big deal, he doesn't ask.

But today even he was invited.

"Master Sun."

Seeing Sun Yi walking into the Chaolu Palace, Cheng Hongwen and Cheng Hongwu went up to salute him.

Sun Yi bowed slightly, and smiled at his two students: "You two are conscientious, and you are still in the palace at such a late hour." ”

Now that it was dark, he came directly after receiving the news, and the two Cheng Hongwen brothers arrived earlier than him, indicating that they had been in the palace all along.

Cheng Hongwen said respectfully: "The student is stupid, lest he live up to His Majesty's trust and the teachings of Master Sun, so he does not dare to slack off, but only to make up for his clumsiness with diligence." ”

Compared with his brother's old-fashionedness, Cheng Hongwu was much more generous, and said with a smile: "In fact, if it weren't for the delicious dinner in the palace, the students would not want to stay up so late." ”

Hearing the words of his two students, Sun Yi laughed, and was in a very good mood.

In addition to promoting the Confucian saint with his wisdom like a torch in his life, the most proud thing in his life is to teach the two students in front of him.

The three masters and apprentices are officials in the same dynasty, the teacher is Shang Shuling, and the students are the left and right servants, which is really unprecedented.

After some greetings, Sun Yi looked at the position belonging to Emperor Yan above, and then asked, "Do you know what happened when Your Majesty suddenly issued an urgent edict?" ”

Although he is a scholar, he is not in power.

Every day from 9 to 5, the affairs of Shangshu Province are left to the two students to do, and they are happy to be idle.

So today, Emperor Yan suddenly ordered him to enter the palace, and he actually didn't know what was going on.

"I don't know what the students are doing, but they only know that there is an urgent report from the border that leads directly to the imperial study."

"Your Majesty not only summoned us and others, but Lin Zhongshu and Han Shizhong are also on their way here."

After listening to Cheng Hongwu's explanation, Sun Yi was slightly shocked.

The top officials of the three provinces have been summoned, what is the big thing happening?

While they were talking, another man arrived at the temple of Chaolu.

They are Han Rui, a servant of the door, and Lin He, a Chinese scholar, who are also important ministers in the court.

After the two came over, they also went up to say hello to Sun Yi first, in front of the elders of the three dynasties, they were all juniors.

After everyone gathered, Emperor Yan was late, and his face was gloomy and he walked into the Chaolu Palace.

As soon as everyone wanted to salute, Emperor Yan waved his hand directly and said: "Today, Zhaoqing and others are on the agenda, no need to be polite, let's all sit down." ”

Hearing this, the ministers glanced at each other and looked at each other.

Emperor Yan has a deep bearing, and he has always been moody, but now he is so angry, it is really rare, it can be seen that the mood should be extremely bad.

What is it that makes His Majesty so angry?

Everyone had different thoughts and sat down, but they were still thinking about how to break the deadlock.

Emperor Yan sat down and took a sip of tea, calmed down a little, and his eyes swept over the faces of the ministers.

"Since all of you Aiqing have arrived, I won't sell the guanzi and start the discussion directly."

The ministers pricked up their ears one after another, and then they heard Emperor Yan say in a deep voice: "There is news from the western border that a large number of soldiers have been deployed on the border of our Great Yan in the near future, and the army has been training day and night. ”

"Ten days ago, the patrol team of the border army encountered a scout team that had left the country and sneaked into my Dayan, and a battle broke out between the two sides, and almost all the hundreds of people in the patrol team were wiped out, and only one soldier escaped, and the matter was reported."

Hearing this news, all the ministers were shocked!

Liguo and Yanguo have always been at odds, and in the early years, a great war broke out between the two countries, but in the end they were turned the tide by Confucianism.

Now that twenty years have passed, he actually set up troops on the border of Yanguo again, and sent a scout team to enter the country to investigate, and even killed hundreds of border soldiers, which is completely a provocation to Yanguo!

"How unreasonable!"

Zhongshu Ling Lin He's eyes were full of anger, and he said with a pale face: "Your Majesty, leaving the country is so rebellious, it can already be regarded as an invasion of my Great Yan!" ”

"This matter must not be left alone, and a tough counterattack must be given!"

Scouts are released before the big war to survey the enemy's virtual reality and scouts, and their strength is also extraordinary.

This is different from the spy, the scout belongs to the army, put the scout into the territory of another country, and kill hundreds of patrols, this is the signal to go to war!

"That's what went wrong."

Emperor Yan sighed, "I also want to put pressure on the country to leave the country on this matter, but there is no evidence. ”

"The patrol was slaughtered by the scout team, and the survivor who escaped died of his injuries after the news was returned."

"That scout team has the existence of middle and third-grade powerhouses, so the hands are extremely clean and neat, and they didn't kill anyone or even dispose of the corpses cleanly, leaving no handles."

When the ministers heard this, they all fell silent.

Even if they knew that it was the other party's scout team that killed hundreds of their soldiers, there was no evidence now.

There is no human or physical evidence, who knows whether this matter is true or false, and if you leave the country, you can bite back and bite Yan Guo is fabricating the facts.

Cheng Hongwen pondered for a moment, and then continued: "Your Majesty, I think that the key to the problem is not whether there is evidence, but what attitude I give to Da Yan. ”

"Sending scouts to enter the country, and a large number of soldiers at the border, this is obviously testing my truth."

"If we can't respond forcefully in this matter, we are exposing our shortcomings."

Cheng Hongwen immediately said the key.

The Confucian saint is not in the Yan country all the year round, so let the country start to move, and now he is tempting.

So it doesn't matter if you don't admit it, it doesn't matter if you have evidence or not, but Yanguo must be tough and retort!

"But in this case, it is very likely that there will be a war with leaving the country, which is not in line with my current development strategy."

"My Great Yan is now in a period of vigorous development, if I start a war rashly, the accumulation of the previous twenty years will be ruined, and we can't afford to fight now."

"There should be another way to solve it."

Han Rui, a servant of the door, frowned, and did not agree with Cheng Hongwen's words, he was considering the overall situation.

No war can be started at will, and Liguo is now eager to fight, but Yan Guo can't follow it.

I'm so well developed, what kind of battle are I fighting with a group of vulgar soldiers like you?

Cheng Hongwen glanced at Han Rui and said expressionlessly: "Didn't Han Shizhong forget the words of the Confucian Sage?" Fight with one punch to avoid a hundred punches. ”

"If we are so weak to deal with it so weakly, it will make them think that I am cowardly, and they will only gain an inch!"

Han Rui's face sank suddenly: "Of course what the Confucian Sage said is true, but now the Confucian Sage is not in my Great Yan!" If there is no saint in charge, why should you go to war with the country? ”

After this sentence fell, Cheng Hongwen stopped talking.

Han Rui is right at this point, Yan Guo currently has no confidence and a war to leave the country, because there is no Confucian saint.

It is an indisputable fact that without the presence of Confucian saints, it is impossible to stop the departure from the country.

There was silence in the hall.
