Outside, the wind and snow were shaking, and Li Zhaoyuan was independent of the silent hall.

He suddenly found that his thoughts were very chaotic, because a sense of powerlessness that he could not break the game even after racking his brains resurfaced in his heart.

A feeling that has not been seen for a long time.

Xu Changtian's previous words made him realize the gap between himself and that imperial brother again.

It's not a gap in ability, it's a simple difference in origin.

The crown prince, a mountain that weighs on the hearts of all princes.

Even if you try your best, you will be insurmounted.

After standing for a long time, Li Zhaoyuan sighed, turned around and walked towards the table.

And at this moment,

"I didn't expect Zhao Yuan to show such an expression from you."

A slender female voice suddenly sounded to break the silence in the hall, with a hint of teasing, as if she was quite familiar with the second prince.

Li Zhaoyuan's eyes subconsciously revealed a touch of softness when he heard the sound, but when he looked sideways, he was already calm, even with a little disgust.

I saw a woman in a plain white snow suit appear at the entrance of the main hall.

Qiong's nose and red lips fell to her elbows, her shoulders were half exposed, and her white and delicate collarbones were unobstructed.

Beautiful and frozen.

The woman seemed to appear with the snow mist falling down the hall at the door.

As she walked along, a layer of hoarfrost formed on the ground on its own.

If Xu Yuan was still staying in this main hall at the moment, and seeing the characteristics of this woman's clothing, he should be able to recognize this woman as one of the three kings of the Guyuan Fox Clan.

After all, there are not many poor and generous characters in Cangyuan.

Snow Fox South Jinxi.

It's not the heroine of Cangyuan.,It's a very special BOSS.。

Although she was the three kings of the fox clan, she was not there when Gu Yuan invaded Great Yan.

For many timelines, she honestly stayed in a mountain forest inside the Great Yan and lived in seclusion.

It's a neutral boss.

Kill her, you can explode equipment and intelligence.

Don't kill, she will help you make a shot in the later stage, but only to deal with Xiangguofu.

Hearing this ridicule, any emotion appeared on Li Zhaoyuan's face:

"This king is also a human being, so naturally he will also feel frustrated."

After a moment's pause, he asked in a solemn voice:

"Nan Jinxi, why are you here?"

Snow Fox Nan Jinxi tilted his head and thought about it, his slender figure stepped forward, and he smiled in a low voice:

"Xu Yinhe and your father made such a big move in the north, it was difficult for us to think about it, some little beasts in the city told me that this mansion has your breath, so they came to see you."

The demon clan is almost invincible in terms of intelligence gathering.

The bloodline allows them to control some low-level demon beasts, and even ordinary beasts to provide them with information.

But this control can also be flawed.

There is a faint connection between the accused demon beast and the remnants of the source qi, which can be easily sensed by a strong person like Lou Ji, and then touches the melon along the vine.

Li Zhaoyuan glanced outside the hall:

"You do it. Aren't you afraid to stay in this northern lockdown forever? ”

"Zhao Yuan, is this concerned about me?"

Looking at the appearance of the other party's sword eyebrows, Nan Jinxi smiled with bent eyes:

"Don't worry, Lou Ji has already left the city to the north, as long as you don't get too close to your imperial sister, no one in this city will be able to find me."

While talking,

Dressed in thin plain clothes, she had already crossed the hundred-meter hall and came to Li Zhaoyuan.

Li Zhaoyuan's face couldn't see joy and anger, and asked thoughtfully:

"Lou Ji left?"

Nan Jinxi's fair and smooth shoulders were picked, and he smiled a little playfully:

"If the woman doesn't leave, I don't dare to come out, she seems to be sending something important."

While talking,

She folded her skirt and sat down in her chair, raising her hand to reach for the file on the desk.

It's a pity that Li Zhaoyuan, who was standing on the side of the desk, took the file in his hand first and smiled slightly:

"Are you so afraid of Lou Ji?"

"People can't beat it~"

Nan Jinxi showed a pitiful look, stretched out his hand to continue to take the other file, and said with a smile:

"If it weren't for the fact that woman had broken her foundation for some reason, she might have been sanctified by now."

Li Zhaoyuan saw the other party's actions, and directly put all the files on the table into the Sumeru ring, and his voice was slightly cold:

"Okay, if you want to spy on information, go find someone else."

Nan Jinxi's blue eyes stared at Li Zhaoyuan and said:

"Just kidding, you idiot. But I really don't understand women at all. ”

The inky pupils in Li Zhaoyuan's eyes looked down at the woman:

"Woman? Are you human? ”

Hearing this, Nan Jinxi was stunned for a moment, and then a trace of anger appeared between her beautiful eyes.

Li Zhaoyuan's ink eyes were deep and unmoved.

Look at each other, be silent.

Long

The anger in Nan Jinxi's eyes gradually disappeared, and he muttered to himself:

"I know your identity can't be connected to me, but"

"Alright."

Li Zhaoyuan interrupted and stood straight:

"Nan Jinxi, this king did save you at the beginning, but don't do this boring story of the white fox repaying your kindness."

Nan Jinxi's slender fingers slammed into force:

"Li Zhaoyuan, I gave up Shouyuan to cultivate into a human form, what do you think it is for?"

Li Zhaoyuan was unmoved, and even had a hint of impatience:

"What can you say directly, now that the war in Beifeng is urgent, if you talk nonsense, this king will start the battle."

There was silence in the temple,

The woman's weak and slender body trembled, and she whispered:

"I just came to tell you, hurry up and leave the Northern Lockdown City."

"Leave?"

Li Zhaoyuan frowned slightly, she knew that the other party appeared at the risk of being killed, and there was a high probability that she would not lie.

After a moment of thought, he spat out two words:

"Reason."

Nan Jinxi's eyes showed a hint of hesitation, but he still revealed:

"All the grain, grass and ordnance stocks of the sect in the Northern Lockdown City will be blown up soon, you should know what this means."

Seven-eight out of ten of the grain and grass in the city were destroyed.

It means that half of the defense equipment of the city cannot be replenished.

The representative and one-third of the reserve source crystals that supplied the moat array evaporated.

Thinking of this, Li Zhaoyuan immediately wanted to leave to deal with it, but was stopped by Nan Jinxi, and she said slowly:

"It's late, I know the news was a quarter of an hour ago, and you should be able to hear it in less than a cup of tea."

Li Zhaoyuan was silent for a moment, frowned, and said:

"Is it a sect?"

Nan Jinxi shook her head and signaled that she didn't know, but there was a hint of banter in her words:

"The resources in your Dayan territory are really too rich, the imperial court fights with the sect, and the sect can also fight with the sect, if this northern city is lost, even if 700,000 troops are buried in the snowfield, you will inevitably have to transfer troops to recapture it in the coming year.

"The barbarians will not give up this opportunity to escape from the snow field, the sect, the desert, and even our Gu Yuan will let go of this opportunity to consume your Great Yan Imperial Court, we will all support them, even if your Great Yan Imperial Court can take it back, it will inevitably be greatly damaged, and you will not be able to make a move against the sect again."

Silence for a few breaths,

Li Zhaoyuan suddenly asked:

"You're done?"

"Huh?"

"Let's leave after that, it's time for the king to continue with military affairs."

Snow Fox Nan Jinxi's eyes widened slightly, and his tone accelerated slightly:

"Li Zhaoyuan, didn't you understand what I said? This northern lockdown city"

"Of course I do."

Li Zhaoyuan slowly stepped forward and pulled the woman up from the chair, sat down by himself, leaned back on the chair, and said indifferently:

"But the more dangerous the situation, the more I will be able to win the support of others, and if I handle it properly, I may even be able to get the support of that royal sister."

"You're going to die." Nan Jinxi stared at Li Zhaoyuan.

Li Zhaoyuan shook his head and stopped looking at her:

"If this king fails, he can't escape a dead word."

For a while, the hall fell silent.

Li Zhaoyuan exhaled a mouthful of white mist:

"Let's go, if someone finds out, this king can only start a battle and kill you."

Nan Jinxi looked at him with a complicated expression, took a few breaths, gritted his teeth, turned around, turned into a cloud of snow and mist, and disappeared into the main hall.

And what disappeared with her was the hoarfrost that she brought with her walk.

All traces dissipated as if she had never been.

Seeing the other party leaving, Li Zhaoyuan put the copywriting files that had just been included in the Sumeru Ring on the desk one by one, but when he placed the file about the Zongmen's inventory in the Northern Closure City, he suddenly hooked the corners of his lips meaningfully

The night was getting deeper.

On a snowy night, the town of Beifeng seemed empty and lonely.

Soldiers patrolling the streets from time to time, and animal carts escorting ordnance galloping past became the only sound on the street.

The horses in the stables paced uneasily because of the continuous roar of the sky south of the city, and were huddled on their beds by the countless soldiers and civilians guarding the large array, enjoying a false sense of security in the warm and heavy bed.

And Xu Yuan is also one of them.

After saying goodbye to the second prince, he immediately went back to his room to rest.

There was no one to arrange for him, so he rested directly in his fiancée's house.

This is not in line with the Great Flame Etiquette, but you don't care about the etiquette.

Moreover, there are only three decent courtyards in the back hall, so he can't sleep in the house of the third prince, right?

The heavy quilt made Xu Yuan sleep very soundly, but unfortunately tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.

When he was about to fall asleep, Xu Yuan suddenly opened his eyes.

Xu Yuan rubbed his eyebrows and sat up, his long untied hair scattered behind him.

Endure the sleepiness in his heart, he turned over, picked up the jacket hanging on the back of the chair next to him, draped it over his body, and walked out the door.

As soon as the door opened, the cold wind and blizzard on his side slashed his cheek like a knife.

In the sky not far away, the red light of the flames was mixed with black mist, and the sound of continuous explosions came one after another.

Looking at this scene, Xu Yuan subconsciously frowned.

Without waiting for him to think about it more, a figure had already landed, and Zhou Chen came over:

"The Third Son."

Xu Yuan glanced at him and asked:

"What's going on?"

Zhou Chen glanced at the direction of the flames, and said hesitantly:

"That direction. It should be the treasury of the border army. ”

"Hiss"

The corners of Xu Yuan's eyes jumped, he was completely awake from sleep, ran the exercises, and jumped to the height of the mansion a few times.

On a snowy night with poor visibility, in addition to the fire point near the mansion, he vaguely saw several fires rising in the city.

"Those places are the warehouses of the border army?"

Zhou Chen has been following Xu Yuan's side, and when he heard this, he immediately responded:

"Yes, there is chaos within the border army, and each sect basically has its own storage for materials in the Northern Closure City."

Xu Yuan stood on a high place and looked at the breath, and shook his head slightly:

"It's been served in a pot, these sects are really appetizing"

"Good appetite indeed."

The voice that answered the phone was calm, not Zhou Chen, but Li Zhaoyuan.

He didn't know when he came to the highest attic in the mansion, looked at Xu Yuan, held a file in his hand, and said indifferently:

"It's just a pity that the third prince gave me this information about the sect's treasury before, it seems to be useless now."

As he spoke, a blue flame ignited in Li Zhaoyuan's hand, instantly devouring the dossier and turning it into ashes.

Xu Yuan frowned and stared at Li Zhaoyuan:

"Second Highness, what do you mean by this to suspect that the military warehouse here was burned by our Xiangguo Mansion?"

Li Zhaoyuan's gaze seems to be able to see through people:

"Third son, the Black Scale Guard can even find out the number of warehouses, it shouldn't be difficult to do some tricks and feet in it, and the results of the investigation of blowing up the Arc de Triomphe in Nancheng are also the frame of your Tian'an Chamber of Commerce."

“.” Xu Yuan did not say a word, nor did he defend himself.

Li Zhaoyuan smiled when he saw the other party's expression:

"But with Xu Gong's love for the third prince, how can he put you in danger, I guess there should be someone else who is obstructing it, after all, if it is really your Xiangguo Mansion that did it, why did the third prince hand over the border army storage information to this king, and why use the frame of the Tian'an Chamber of Commerce, this king speculates that someone should be an obstacle and sow discord."

The wind and snow at the top of the attic were very strong, and the long untied hair was swaying in the wind.

Xu Yuan's eyes burned with blood, and he chuckled:

"When such a big thing happens, His Royal Highness doesn't sit in command and control the fire, but has the leisure to come to me to chat?"

Li Zhaoyuan's deep ink pupils brought a hint of a smile:

"The destruction of the warehouse of the Northern Sect is actually beneficial to the imperial court, isn't it?"

"Proneficial?" Xu Yuan was thoughtful.

"Third son, this king has seen three advantages, please help me straighten the axe."

Li Zhaoyuan glanced at Xu Yuan, and then looked at Nancheng from afar, as if sighing, as if amused:

"First, the Northern Blockade City can't be defended, these things will be blown up sooner or later, and the supplies that are enough for 300,000 troops for half a year can only be lost to the barbarians."

"Second, the biggest reason for the crisis of the northern closure of the city is not the shortage of materials in the city, but the destruction of the formation and city gate of the triumphal arch in the south of the city, and the barbarians gather their totem to attack, and we need to fill it with human lives. Now that someone is willing to help us blow it up, those sect border troops in the city have no supplies, so they must ask us for help, and the imperial sister will make this group of sect border army city defense rotation resistance much less. ”

"Third, there are only three hundred miles between Houting County and the Northern Closure City, even if the high-level cultivators need to cover their breath, it only takes one day to go back and forth, and every day that the Northern Closure City is guarded, these materials will be transported away by the high-level cultivators of the sect with the Sumeru Ring, and for ten days, most of the materials will be hoarded in Houting County, and then the only people trapped in the snowfield will be the 300,000 troops of our imperial court in the area of Dali Mountain."

Xu Yuan looked at the thoughtful second prince, and suddenly grinned:

"I see, the destruction of the sect's warehouse is so beneficial to my Great Yan Imperial Court, and the meticulousness of His Second Highness's mind is really worthy of its reputation."

Li Zhaoyuan shook his head:

"The third prince praised this king falsely, and he only thought about it after thinking about it, and the person who planned this matter in advance was really thoughtful."

Saying,

Wind and snow dance,

He stared at Xu Yuan and said with a smile:

"You're right, Third Son."
