Although His Majesty the Emperor's eyes were warm, he didn't seem to be able to say anything.

"Then Weichen thanked Your Majesty."

After Xue Junwu bowed and thanked him, he was sitting opposite His Majesty, and the couch under him was extremely soft, but it seemed to be a thorn in Xue Junwu.

Xue Junwei accompanied His Majesty to breakfast, which was different from Anyang's extravagance and exquisiteness, His Majesty the Emperor only ate some simple porridge and side dishes in the morning, which was not very luxurious.

"That's right,"

Halfway through the meal, Luo Yexuan suddenly asked: "Recently, Xirong's cavalry has frequently invaded our borders, and Captain Sikong has praised you to me, saying that you are quite talented in foreign military affairs, what do you think should be done to deal with Xirong?" ”

Naturally, it was to befriend the Western Regions Federation, and the two sides reached an alliance to jointly send troops to annex the ancient kingdom of Xirong, and then redivide their respective territories.

But Xue Jun was worried like a mirror in his heart, although the Western Regions Federation was weaker than the Entropy Country, it was a genuine group of wolves, and joining forces with them to destroy the Xirong Ancient Kingdom was tantamount to seeking skin with the tiger.

Although the ancient kingdom of Xirong is destroyed, the land of the great entropy will be expanded by at least 400 miles, but for the long-term plan of the entropy country, it is only this benefit and all kinds of harm.

What's more, His Majesty didn't want to have a bad relationship with Xirong, otherwise it would be impossible to not accept Xirong's previous proposal of peace and also not explicitly refuse.

But what does Your Majesty mean by asking?

Xue Jun was worried about the many frictions between the Entropy State and foreign countries in the past ten years, although the Xirong cavalry frequently invaded the Entropy Realm, but it was not yet the time for the two sides to make a big move, but His Majesty has been trying to find a way to fill the treasury recently.

This is undoubtedly about to go to war again, but with His Majesty's thoughts, which country does he plan to send troops to?

The most likely is the Ming State, after all, the two countries are feuding, and it is justified to send troops to fight, but outside the East China Sea, the Ming State not only sits on the four islands of the Heavenly King, but also has the surrounding Ming Islands forming horns against each other to resist the incoming enemy.

If you send troops to Mingguo, it is indispensable for a large army to go on a long-distance expedition, and now the entropy country is unstable internally, and there are a group of wolves waiting for an opportunity outside, it is definitely not a good time to send troops to Mingguo.

Since it is not the Ming State, there are only Xirong, Beihuan, and Eastern Liao left.

Xirong, as a buffer zone between the Entropy State and the Western Regions Federation, is naturally untouchable at present.

Although the Dongliao fish are fed, fur is clothed, horses chase water and grass, and people rely on cheese, but the national strength is growing stronger day by day, not only looking at the Ming country across the sea, but also fighting with Beihuan often for the grassland and the fire, but it is a target of troops, but the name is not justified.

Xue Jun weighed carefully for a long time, so he said his answer: "Xirong borders us and the Xirong Federation, if you deal with Xirong and ally the Western Regions, it is the best policy for both sides to jointly send troops to carve up the party." ”

"Well, that's a good idea."

Luo Yexuan's eyes were not too surprised, he put down the chopsticks in his hand: "You go on, how to form an alliance, and how to divide it." ”

"No alignment, no partition."

Xue Jun's face showed a look of embarrassment: "The Xirong cavalry is fierce, and it is a very hard bone for the Western Regions Federation and us, if you eat it strongly, it is inevitable that you will lose your teeth." ”

"So you think it's better not to fight."

Luo Yexuan leaned behind him, and a touch of disappointment flashed in his eyes: "Also, you were born in a merchant family, so you still don't do well if you don't have perfect preparations." ”

The implication of these words is that Xue Jun is worried and timid.

Xue Junwu could naturally hear it, but he didn't acquiesce, but opened his mouth and said: "It's true that you can't fight a battle without all preparations to deal with Xirong, so Weichen has another suggestion..."

"Tell me about it." Luo Yexuan raised his hand casually, and his eyes seemed to have lost their original warmth.

"Your Majesty can let Xijon take the initiative to make friends with us, so that Xirong's cavalry will not dare to attack."

"How do you get them to take the initiative? Do you think this is two children fighting? ”

"We can send troops to destroy Beihuan first."

Xue Jun's worried gaze suddenly became fierce, even mixed with a trace of ruthlessness: "When the Northern Huan is destroyed, there will be many fertile grasslands vacated between Xirong and Eastern Liao, with the personality of their nomadic country, they will inevitably fight for those grasslands, and whoever wins and who loses at that time will be a good thing for us." ”

“... ...”

Luo Yexuan was silent, raised his head again and looked at Xue Junwu quietly, this kid has some talent, he can even think of going with him, the reason why he is so eager to raise military funds is precisely to choose a time to launch a war of annihilation against Beihuan.

And as long as the war of annihilation is set off, the countries other than the entropy country will definitely sit and watch this war, and if the entropy army slaughters the country and occupies the land, it will inevitably be attacked by the countries, and if the entropy army only slaughters the country of Beihuan, the fertile grassland of nearly 900 miles will definitely be fought over by the surrounding countries, and Xirong and Dongliao, which border the entropy country, will naturally participate.

At that time, the three borders of the Entropy State can breathe a sigh of relief for the time being, and he can also personally lead the heavy troops to destroy the Ming State, and he has avenged the revenge of the year.

"I'll consider your suggestion."

After a long time, Luo Yexuan showed a kind smile on his face: "It's not too early, I'm going to go to the court, you should investigate whatever case you want." ”

Hearing this, Xue Junwu hurriedly got up and saluted His Majesty again: "That Weichen has retired." It's just the case of Chang Longbo..."

"You don't have to worry about that case."

Luo Yexuan swept his face and put away the letter properly: "I will hand it over to the Nine Infant Protectors, and I can't tell anyone about the things in the letter, otherwise I will punish you, and Anyang will not be able to protect you and the entire Xue family." ”

"Wechen obeys the holy will."

After Xue Junwu finished speaking, he immediately turned around and left, and he was also slightly relieved in his heart.

It's just right that Chang Longbo's case is not handed over to him, the Nanyun Wangfu fire and the tea flower corpse case are enough to bother him, if there is another one, how will he investigate the matter of Gongsun Huang Guifei at that time.

Xue Jun, who left the palace, was not idle, he first went to the crime department, took all the files related to the two cases and brought them back to Princess Anyang's mansion, and then secretly came to the Scarlet Manor with Scarlet Cloud.

Xue Junwei stood alone in front of the gate of the red jade palace that he came to that day, very curious.

After so many days, I can finally know what Emperor Gongsun has left in the secret treasure of the scarlet secret.

After about a stick of incense, Scarlet Cloud opened the door from the red jade palace and walked out: "Come in with me, I have all orders." ”

Xue Jun replied lightly and followed into the Ruby Palace with curiosity.

After entering, the interior of this palace was almost the same as Xue Junwei had guessed before, there was nothing, only the ordinary floor tiles were laid, and other than that, there was nothing in the palace.

This is the simplest trap that makes the intruder seem unremarkable, but in fact there is a murderous motive hidden under every floor tile.

However, it was extremely safe for the people inside the Scarlet Jue to enter, and Xue Junwu followed the stone bricks that Scarlet Cloud had stepped on to the deepest part of the palace.

I saw him press his palm on one of the floor tiles, and then the other palm on the other floor tiles.

With a click, a floor tile in front of Scarlet Cloud slowly rose, and there was a hidden box hidden inside, only to see him turn the dark box again, and the secret door to the underground slowly appeared.

Xue Junwu was surprised to see it from behind, if it was him, he would probably open the dark box, but his instinctive reaction would also open open what was in the dark box, so it was estimated that he would only fall into many traps.

Under this secret door, there is a very long and wide secret passage, and many chambers are built next to the secret passage, which should be the so-called secret vault.

Xue Junwu followed Scarlet Cloud down two secret doors, walked through three layers of secret passages, and only then stopped in front of a room door engraved with the word 33 on it.

"This is the vault that your key can open."

Scarlet Cloud crouched down, one hand rubbing something under the left side of the door, and as the movement of his hand stopped, he pressed his palm hard where he could press.

There was a sound of a mechanism activating, and a dark groove slowly rose from the position in front of the door.

"Pour all the yin and yang tokens into it." Scarlet Cloud spoke.

Xue Junwu did as he said, took out the porcelain bottle from his sleeve, and slowly poured the golden dog blood into it.

After a while, the small gold flakes in the dog's blood seemed to have been absorbed, leaving only the bright red color flowing slowly in the dark groove.

When the color of the dog's blood was completely purified, the door of the chamber slowly rose with a thud, revealing another short dark passage inside, and not far away, a second door could be seen, and there was a dragon-shaped groove carved on the door.

"This is the last door, and I need your jade pendant."

Scarlet Cloud brought Xue Junwu to the door of the second room: "I'm also curious about what is inside, after all, my aunt is the imperial concubine, and I think it must be some valuable treasures or palace secrets that no one knows." ”

"You think the same thing I do."

Xue Jun said worriedly, slowly putting the jade pendant into the groove, only to hear another sound of the mechanism starting.

The door of the second room slowly opened, revealing a large hall, and after the door of the room was completely opened, the curiosity that Xue Junwu and Scarlet Cloud couldn't hide on their faces completely disappeared.

There was nothing, it was even more empty than the ruby palace above, and there was not even a single expensive calligraphy and painting of celebrities hanging on the surrounding walls.

"It's really surprising......"After being stunned for a long time, Xue Junwu slowly spoke.

"It's possible that my mother put the contents away."

Scarlet Cloud frowned lightly, recalling her mother's importance to this matter: "When you first came in wearing that jade pendant, my mother asked me to ask you the bottom, maybe at that time?" ”

"How did your mother get in when the steps to get in here are so tedious and you need special objects?" Xue Jun asked worriedly.

Scarlet Cloud shrugged: "Because she is the head of the Scarlet Jue family, we can't even know how to enter the secret of Scarlet Jue's own family, right?" ”

"Heh, it's really good to be the head of the family."

Xue Jun was worried about yin and yang, and walked into the vault alone, wanting to look carefully, after all, it took so much effort to come over, and he couldn't leave after a glance.
