There was a sudden silence in Xingyun Pavilion.

This is the emperor's favorite clean place!

No one here dares to make a loud noise, let alone break in!

This is also the place where the emperor's 60th birthday banquet is invited to important ministers tonight!

Zhang Jingchu is the old man next to the emperor, he is the chief eunuch in the palace of Wu State!

He was in a high position and was deeply trusted by the emperor.

He has seen a lot of ups and downs in his life, and at his age, he should never have such a reckless act at this moment!

If it was an ordinary trivial matter, he would definitely wait until the emperor's birthday banquet passed, and even wait until one day when the emperor was in a very good mood.

But now, he actually broke in!

That must be a big deal!

But Wu Guo has been peaceful for a long time, how can there be a big thing?

Of all the people present, only three people understood.

Xia Mochou frowned, he was also surprised, and he didn't see anything unusual at all.

Xia Liu heard his father talk about the boundless matter in the house, he originally thought that his father was guilty of hysteria, after all, such a big thing, how could there be no news in the cardinal room?

At this moment, when he looked at Zhang Jingchu's panicked appearance, he suddenly sighed in his heart, what his father said was probably true!

The other is General Gou Zhong!

He was still extremely nervously looking forward to the big event of the emperor Chrysostom deciding on the crown princess!

As long as his daughter becomes the crown princess, then the son loses the matter of Wujiguan...... The emperor and the crown prince will definitely be furious, but for the sake of the royal family, the son's life must be worry-free.

As long as the son is not beheaded, after two or three years, it will not be difficult for the son to make a comeback.

Although the son's matter is also a big deal, in comparison, the matter of the daughter becoming the crown princess is the real big deal for the Gou Mansion!

The hardest part now is the level in front of you!

There is no end to it, and the cardinal knows it as soon as possible.

But Mo Wuchen didn't tell the prince or the emperor about this matter as soon as possible, but told him Gou Zhong!

It was late at night five days ago.

No one knew that he drank three pots of tea with Mo Wuchen in the cardinal's room!

That's a big stack.

Don't forget that you can use this news to sell it for a good price!

Mo Wuchen promised to hide the news until the fifteenth day of the lunar month before sending the news to the emperor.

But now it is the tenth day of the lunar month, and there are still five days to go...... Could it be that I am thinking wrong?

Gou Zhong's face was cloudy and uncertain, and he also looked at Zhang Jingchu.

Zhang Jingchu regretted it the moment he broke in!

Reckless!

At this age, I didn't calm down, how is this good?

He stood at the door for three breaths, and these three breaths made his face return to normal.

He walked over, came to the front of Emperor Wu, and bowed: "Your Majesty, the slave is old, and when he first entered the door, he fell somersault and hit the door and shocked the emperor...... Damn the minions! ”

Emperor Wu's eyebrows furrowed.

This old eunuch is a middle-level master in a realm, and he has always acted calmly, how can he be vain under his feet?

It is impossible to be so nervous to break through this door!

Apparently something big is happening.

But what else can Wu do big?

Emperor Wu sighed for a long time, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

He picked up the teacup again and took a sip of tea, "What kind of wind and rain have I never seen in my life?" ”

"These are all my humerus ministers, and even if something big happens, I still need to discuss it with them."

"Say!"

"What's going on?"

Zhang Jingchu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "This ...... Your Majesty, do you want to invite the emperor to the study? ”

Emperor Wu sighed in his heart, "Just say it here!" ”

The crown prince Wu Qian was also very nervous at this time.

Of course, he didn't know about Xiayuanzhou, and his nervousness came from the relationship between him and Concubine Shu!

Concubine Shu is his father's concubine!

I have to call him a concubine when I see him on weekdays!

If this is exposed, it is the sin of the harem of fornication!

The father and emperor will definitely be furious, executing Concubine Shu is a trivial matter, deposing the East Palace, imprisoning himself or even exile, this is a big deal!

It's been more than a year since this happened, and I've always been cautious, even the cardinal is hard to detect, what is the problem?

Could it be that Yan'er betrayed herself?

Just when Wu Qian was uneasy.

Just when everyone was holding their breath and looking at Zhang Jingchu nervously.

Zhang Jingchu bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, there is no end...... Something went wrong with Boundless. ”

Gou Zhong's heart suddenly tightened, but Wu Qian's heart suddenly relaxed, and it took a moment to raise it again.

Emperor Wu was still holding the teacup, he sighed and took another sip, Zhang Jingchu's words fell lightly, but he knew that the endless pass must have been lost.

"Oh......"

He put down the teacup and slowly got up and stood up.

He walked a few steps in front of the teatable with his hands behind his back, turned around, looked at Zhang Jingchu, and asked again:

"If the Ning army wants to capture the Boundless Pass, the losses will be huge."

"I remember the Red Flame Army...... That's about 80,000 people. ”

"There are 80,000 defenders in Wuyaguan, it seems that the hook is still careless...... Isn't there still 70,000 elites in the Seven Cities? ”

"If you lead this 70,000 army to attack the Boundless Pass, how can the Red Flame Army still be able to hold it?"

Zhang Jingchu lowered his head slightly, "This ...... Your Majesty, the Red Flame Army is a sacred object called fireworks! ”

Emperor Wu was stunned, "When Xia Li was guarding the Boundless Pass, the Red Flame Army also attacked it with fireworks, didn't it mean that fireworks could not be thrown on the wall?" ”

"Back to the emperor, the Red Flame Army died down for half a year, and in this half a year, they created a thing called a catapult...... This thing can throw fireworks over a long distance! ”

"Catapults? What is it? ”

"Back to the emperor, it is said that it was invented by Li Chen'an, and it is a giant weapon thrown from a long distance."

"Li Chen'an? Throwing ...... from a distance So, the casualties of the Red Flame Army were small? ”

"Back to the emperor, the Red Flame Army was almost unharmed, and General Gou, after losing the Boundless Pass, also led the 70,000 cavalry of the Seven Cities Walled City to recapture the Boundless Pass, but it was ......"

Emperor Wu's face turned dark, "Just what?" ”

"It's just that General Gou has been defeated again!"

"The Red Flame Army is so powerful?"

"Back to the emperor, it's not that the Red Flame Army is powerful, it's the fireworks and catapults that are powerful!"

Emperor Wu had never seen fireworks, nor had he seen catapults, but he had already heard of the power of fireworks.

But I heard that I heard it, and now this thing has shown such a powerful power, which makes Emperor Wu have to re-examine how to deal with Ningguo's fireworks.

He didn't think about it at the moment, what was on his mind was:

“…… Shimohara Prefecture ......"

Emperor Wu was suddenly taken aback, since Gou Kuo was defeated again, if the Red Flame Army moved south, there would be no troops to defend the vast Xiayuan Prefecture!

The Ning army will drive straight into Zhaohua City!

His voice suddenly increased by three points, and his speech speed was also three points faster: "The soldiers of the Seven Cities are all gone?" Did the Red Flame Army occupy Xiayuan Prefecture? What happened to Zhaohua City? ”

Zhang Jingchu swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "Back to the emperor, the Red Flame Army has not entered Xiayuan Prefecture, and they are still guarding the endless pass. ”

"Oh......"

Emperor Wu breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that the purpose of the Red Flame Army is to recapture the Boundless Pass, and it does not have the ability to invade Xiayuan Prefecture again.

This is the weak national strength of Ningguo!

Thinking about it, Wen Zhuyu was unwilling to really let Ning Guo anger Wu Guo.

"Where is it now?"

"Back to the emperor, General Gou is stationed in Zhaohua City!"

Emperor Wu sighed for three breaths and looked at Old Duke Xia, he was about to speak, but unexpectedly, a shout suddenly came from outside:

"Father-in-law Zhang, the slave wants to see Father-in-law Zhang...... Shimohara Prefecture 100,000 fire and war report ......! ”
