Very few people know what happened on the night of Emperor Ningguo's sixtieth birthday.

But three days later, the officials of the DPRK and China who had not been able to attend the birthday banquet felt a different atmosphere.

The emperor has not presided over the court meeting again in the past three years, but in the past three days, the emperor has personally presided over the court meeting every day.

The contents of the court meeting also became meaningful.

It has nothing to do with the rumored cutting of the feudal domain, but the emperor ordered the household department to mobilize a huge amount of grain and grass from Xilancheng in Hexi Prefecture, on the grounds that there may be heavy snow in Hexi Prefecture this winter!

When did Qin Tianjian become so powerful?

It can be calculated that there will be heavy snow in Hexi Prefecture this year!

In addition, a well-informed minister got a message -

Gou Zhong left Kyoto on the third day after the emperor's birthday, and he left in a hurry.

And one more big thing.

The long-rumored matter of establishing a crown princess, the emperor seems to have forgotten, he did not make an order!

And His Royal Highness the Prince, who was extremely busy in the past, seems to have been idle, and he has not appeared in the court in the past three days.

What's going on?

In a blink of an eye, it is the end of the year, that is, the twenty-eighth day of the thirty-ninth year of Jianxing, and the New Year is coming, and the court should rest tomorrow.

But the emperor held a court meeting again.

At this court meeting, the emperor appointed Xia Li as the general of Zhenbei.

From now on, form the Zhenbei Army!

Is this the Xia State Mansion reused by the emperor again?

On the sixth day of the first month of the 40th year of Jianxing, two months have passed since the Battle of Wuyaguan.

After all, the news of Wuyiguan could not be hidden, and it came to Kyoto with those merchants.

Dongxu City fell into an unbelievable panic for a while.

Immediately afterwards, news came that Gou Zhong led 100,000 Divine Eagle Army thousands of miles to attack Hexi Prefecture, because the Divine Guard Army of Ning State had actually entered the hinterland of Wu State!

Isn't this Ning Guo crazy?

By the way, Li Chen'an, who was about to be forgotten by the Wu people, was the regent of Ningguo, and he couldn't get out of the forgetfulness platform in the Sword Washing Tower......

Could it be that the Ning people want to rescue their regent?

It must be so!

Otherwise, this Ning army did not have any supplies, nor did it have any support from the rear, and it was obviously determined to die.

It's just that I'm afraid it won't be able to reach Sword Mountain at all!

On the twentieth day of the first month of the fortieth year of Jianxing, it has been ten days since the end of the rest.

The officials in the court were walking on thin ice one by one, and the news of the Condor Army and the Ning Army also came from the cardinal's room-

The first battle between the Condor Army and the Divine Guard took place outside Xilan City, Hexi Prefecture.

But the Divine Guard didn't fall in love with the war!

After Yuan Su, the commander of the Divine Guard, sent 10,000 soldiers to the palace, he left the battlefield with 40,000 soldiers without hesitation and entered the Xilan Mountain Range, which was more than thirty miles east of Xilan City!

Gou Zhong wiped out the 10,000 Divine Guards, but paid the price of 20,000!

This was a result that was difficult for the Wu people to accept.

Because the Condor Army is the most powerful army in Wu State!

Fighting 10,000 lone troops with 100,000 should have won a complete victory, but they paid double the battle damage!

This forced many ministers in the court, including Emperor Wu, to re-examine this lone army.

Gou Zhong led the remaining 80,000 Condor Army to chase into the Xilan Mountain Range, but the Xilan Mountain Range stretched for more than 100 miles, and there was no battle report back for the time being.

The second day of February in the 40th year of Jianxing.

The dragon raised its head.

On this day, Xia Li, the general of Zhenbei, set off to Xiayuan Prefecture with the 50,000 newly recruited recruits of the military department, because the Ning army did not leave anyone to garrison Zhaohua City!

The Red Flame Army is still guarding the Boundless Pass, of course, the Boundless Pass has been repaired, but the Red Flame Army has not entered Xiayuan Prefecture to take over the Divine Guard Army to guard Zhaohua City.

This is something that is difficult for everyone to understand.

On this day, news came from the Divine Guard Army again-

The Divine Guard Army divided into three routes in Xilan Mountain, and went all the way to Xiho Prefecture, where the Condor Army was stationed!

All the way through the Nishiarashi Mountain Range, we came to Kyoto Tohsu Castle!

The other way was more bizarre, and they headed southeast...... Where is this going?

"Sword Mountain!"

Emperor Wu looked at the huge map hanging in the imperial study, and his finger fell on the mountains of Sword Mountain.

"The Divine Guard has come all the way, and they will never fight, except for seeking supplies and going to sweep the villages and towns passing by, they have not attacked any cities!"

Emperor Wu's fingers were fiercely on the mountain of the Sword Washing Tower, and he turned his head to look at Mo Wuchen.

"They actually have only one purpose, which is to wash the sword building!"

"The other two roads are just to disperse Gouzhong's troops, and their marching route accurately avoids the range of the border armies guarding everywhere......"

Emperor Wu turned around and walked to the tea table, with a puzzled look on his face:

"Could it be that they really want to bulldoze Sword Mountain with these 10,000 people?"

"Did they bring fireworks?"

Mo Wuchen shook his head firmly: "Back to the emperor, they definitely don't!" ”

"With this kind of knife?"

Emperor Wu picked up a sword of the Divine Guard Army leaning against the wall again, "Underestimate Ning Guo, this knife is extremely sharp and extremely tough, no wonder Gou Zhong will suffer a big loss." ”

"The cardinal must closely monitor the movements of this Ning army, and ...... Send some people to the Sword Mountain to take a closer look! ”

Don't forget the dust and bow: "Old minister, obey the order!" ”

"Well, go ahead!"

Mo Wuchen bowed and retreated, and Emperor Wu looked at Mo Wuchen's back and narrowed his eyes.

After a while, he turned to look at the map again, and said to Zhang Jingzhong behind him: "Three things!" ”

Zhang Jingzhong bowed: "Please ask the emperor to order!" ”

"First, there have been contacts between Lao Si and Mo Wuchen over the years!"

"Second, where is Zha Xiwei, who has he been in contact with, and has he ever been to the Garden!"

"Third...... Please Chu Tianji go to Xingyun Pavilion tonight, I have something to say to him! ”

"The old slave obeys!"

Emperor Wu slowly turned to look at Zhang Jingzhong again, "You say...... Xi Wei ran to Wu Kingdom, and the Divine Guard Army also came...... This Li Chen'an, he is so important to Ning Guo? ”

Zhang Jingzhong sighed for three breaths: "Your Majesty, the old slave thinks there should be something else hidden here. ”

"Tell me about it!"

"If Li Chen'an is really so important to Ning Guo, the old slave will definitely not let Li Chen'an go to the Forgetting Table!"

"Although Zhongli Ruoshui is the third lady of Zhongli Mansion...... After all, she is just a woman, giving up Zhongli Ruoshui, Li Chenan is still the regent of Ningguo, and he is in charge of Ningguo, which is the best thing for Xi Wei and Zhongli Mansion! ”

But Li Chen'an incarnated as Li Xiaofeng, and came to Wu Country with Zhongli Ruoshui, and entered the Forgetfulness Stage...... If they didn't know it at first, the old slave would never believe it. ”

Emperor Wu frowned, "What do you mean...... They deliberately let Li Chenan take Zhongli Ruoshui into the Forgetfulness Stage? ”

"Then now they don't hesitate to let the 50,000 people of the Divine Guard Army die, but they also want to go to the Forgetfulness Terrace...... What is this statement? ”

Zhang Jingzhong bowed down and replied: "There are only two things that the old slave can think of. ”

"First, I'm afraid they hope that Li Chen'an can really practice the Second Zhou Heavenly Technique to deal with the upcoming Shushan Sword Debate!"

"Second...... Your Majesty, Zhongli Mansion once had a female sword in his hand! ”

"With this sword, someone can enter the Forgetfulness Platform at any time!"

"The cardinal said that the female sword was missing...... This means that Li Chen'an's life is in danger at any time inside, and they are trying their best to go to Sword Mountain now, could it be to prevent someone from going inside to kill Li Chen'an? ”

Emperor Wu suddenly suddenly, "Reasonable!" ”

"Who could have taken the Fuji Sword from Zhongli Mansion's hand?"

"But...... If Li Chenan was really killed in the Forgetfulness Stage, this would be a good thing! ”

After a pause, Emperor Wu came to the door and looked at the sunset outside the door.

"You go and tell Xue Zhaoyi, ...... tonight I'm going to her palace of pleasure. ”
