CHAPTER XVIII

Eastern Capital.

Xiao Qi was lying on the throne naked, looking at the kneeling man with cold eyes, "Did you find what I wanted?" ”

"Huh... Your Highness, we were about to get it, but ......"

"But what?" Xiao Qi's eyes at this moment are no longer ordinary people's appearance, if the courtiers who have experienced the rebellion of the Shi clan many years ago will find that this is a precursor to Xiao Qi's imminent transformation into a dragon, and in an instant, the air pressure in the entire hall is breathless.

"Your Highness spares your life! It's all that Sima Kang, if it weren't for him, how would his subordinates dare not take that object back. The man on his knees trembled and said, he knew the character of this highness too well, and he would not hesitate to get rid of you if you were useless.

"Sima Kang? Is that the East China Sea Patrol Envoy? ”

"That's right, it's him, our business in the East China Sea has been disturbed by him many times before, this time he doesn't know where the news came from, he actually transferred that thing to the mansion in advance, and then sent a monk from the Nine Realms to take care of it, and his subordinates were afraid of delaying His Highness's plan, so he gave up the action and rushed back to the capital to report to His Highness."

After hearing this, Xiao Qi put his arm around the woman beside him and said in a slightly playful tone, "Xin'er, your Sima family is really talented." ”

"Xiao Qi! You promised me that I wouldn't hurt my family. Although Sima Xin was in Xiao Qi's arms, the ruthlessness in his eyes couldn't be concealed.

"Hahahaha, that's of course......" Xiao Qi picked up Sima Xin and gently placed her on the throne, and suddenly, Xiao Qi suddenly turned his head and opened his mouth towards the person in the audience..... With a look of disgust, he said, "Hey, this waste is not only ineffective..... Is that right? My beloved concubine. ”

Sima Xin looked at the half-cut corpse that fell to the ground gushing with blood, Xiao Qi's smile seemed so weird and terrifying at this time, she felt that the blood in her body seemed to be coagulated, and after hearing Xiao Qi's words, she nodded like a marionette.

"I knew it." Xiao Qi clapped happily after seeing Sima Xin nodding, but his next sentence was, "After finishing speaking, Xiao Qi beckoned the guards to clean up the garbage in the hall, and ordered the maid to send Sima Xin back to the apse.

"See Your Highness."

"Lu Yong, I need you to go to the east to help this king get an object."

"Yes." There was not the slightest emotional fluctuation in the man's tone, as if he was as cold as a dead man.

"Let's go down."

"Yes."

......

Kitama.

If the eastern capital is prosperous, then the northern palace is barren, compared to the city wall of the eastern capital, the northern imperial is ten meters higher, the moat outside the city is twenty meters wide, there are man-eating monsters at the bottom of the river, the stone bridge leading to the city will only be put down when necessary, the armor on the city wall are wearing masks like ghosts, and there is nothing in their eyes except for indifference.

A house in the city.

"Sanwazi, I'm back."

"Yes, Daddy, if there is nothing to do in the city today, the captain will let me come back earlier."

Then an old woman came out of the house, and when she saw her son coming back, she hurriedly stepped forward and patted the dust on her son's body, and said with concern, "Three babies, hurry up and take off your armor, it's weird, grandma made you your favorite dish." ”

"Grandma, I can smell your food two corners away."

"You eat first, and I'll sit ......down for a while," the old man began.

The old woman wanted to say something, hesitated for a while but didn't say anything, the man called Sanwazi knew what his father was waiting for, he was waiting for the eldest brother, their family or the entire Beiyu people have been in the army for generations, the eldest father of the three children, Daddy, the eldest brother, the second brother including himself is from a military background, the eldest brother served in the army in Ningguo in the early years, and then Ningguo was destroyed and from the Liang army, and in the second year of the Great Cause, Liang pacified the northeastern tribes when he went out with the army, but he never came back, Since then, my father has been sitting alone at home every sunset, just to wait for my eldest brother to return home one day.

......

Northern Imperial Castle.

"Great Prince, this is the tenth time that the Northeast tribe has been in turmoil this year, what do these guys want to do?"

"Yes~ They are not in turmoil for money, not for food, what can they do for?"

"If you want me to say, just kill it, these guys don't keep it all day long."

Completely different from the eastern capital, the palace hall of the northern palace does not have those gorgeous decorations, it can be said that it is no different from the big tent in the army, and the people in the palace are still martial artists in addition to the martial arts.

"Shut up!" One of the people standing next to the throne opened his mouth and roared, and the entire hall instantly fell silent after an order.

Seeing that the generals were quiet, the people on the throne slowly got up, stared at the map in the center of the hall and said, "They should be hiding something." ”

"Your Highness is saying that the turmoil of these tribes is just a faΓ§ade?" The man next to the throne also had a solemn face when he heard this, he knew that this highness would never say something that he was not sure of, so what could make these tribes work so hard?

"That's right, Meng Zhang told me a few days ago that he met people from the north in the Northeast, and they were looking for a cemetery called Mulong's family, I don't think there will be any connection between the two...... "The eldest prince Xiao Jian got acquainted with Meng Zhang, who traveled the world when he was young, and the two of them became confidants when they came and went, and then Xiao Jian asked himself to guard the North Palace, some people said that he was for fame and fortune Xiao Jian did not deny it, after all, there can be a few people in the world who are not for fame and fortune, but he is also really for himself, for Daliang, Guarding the northern border for ten years for the world, as the prince, he not only strategized, but also treated the soldiers without distinction between high and low status, and regardless of their background, they were all promoted by military merits, and it was precisely because of this that Xiao Jian was the only commander in the eyes of the northern emperor and the soldiers in the north.

"Since it's the news of the Blue Dragon Envoy, then it must not be wrong, so what should we do next?"

"Wang He, you lead the army into the northeast first, and monitor the tribes in the name of catching traitors, no matter what means you use, you have to find the cemetery of the Mulong clan, and no one is allowed to enter and leave the tribe until you find the tomb." Xiao Jian learned from Meng Zhang's mouth that the strength of those northerners looking for the Mulong clan is not low, but there is an organization dedicated to monitoring these high-level monks in Daliang in the north, and once they leave the north, someone will report it, and this time instead of reporting it, they also quietly entered the northeast, during this period, there must be a cat, Xiao Jian combined with the fact that Xiang Ke made such a big move in Daliang some time ago, and was finally killed by an unknown person, and the rebellion of the northeast tribes has become more and more serious in recent years, There are several things that make it hard not to connect them.

"Wang He commanded."

"The rest of the generals are on standby, ready to attack at any time."

"Yes!"

......

When the generals left the palace of the royal court, only Wang He and Xiao Jian were left in the palace, Wang He saw Xiao Jian's tightly knit brows and knew that this time the matter was definitely very tricky, so he came to Xiao Jian's side and patted him on the shoulder, "Ah Jian, the matter is man-made, there is no need to be too anxious." ”

"Alas~ Ah Hao, what I'm worried about is that my younger brother is afraid that this time he will also be implicated."

When Wang He and Xiao Jian were in the army, they were only superiors and subordinates, and in fact, the two had known each other since childhood, Wang He's father was Wang Yanshu of the Zhongdu Wang family, and the nurse of Emperor Xiao Jing of Liang was Wang Yanshu's mother, and the Wang family and the Xiao family were friends since two hundred years ago. As for the forbidden army tiger talisman, he had already handed over to Emperor Liang, and he did not make friends with the ministers of the court and the central government to be a rich man obediently, at most, he was fishing in the suburbs of Beijing. Since Wang Yanshu has no reward, Emperor Liang will Wang Yanshu's son Wang He to the palace as Xiao Jian's companion, only seven years old Wang He has been expensive to the third general (General Liang has a total of nine products, except for the general of the false position of the general is the highest), and later Wang He accompanied Xiao Jian to the south to fight in the north, and he was also one of the few people who were willing to accompany Xiao Jian to the north.

"Qi?"

"That's right, how can I not know Qi's thoughts, but brotherly rivalry will only lead to turmoil in the world, and the lessons of the previous dynasty are not enough? I won't fight him, but that doesn't mean I won't defend against him, and if he really loses his mind and wants to harm the world, I will definitely get rid of him. ”

Wang He knew that in Xiao Jian's heart, the people and the world were the most important, and he was also willing to be loyal to Xiao Jian because of the difference between Xiao Jian and other princes, "Ah Jian, you still have to write to Your Majesty this time......

"I know, this time I'm going to enter Beijing in person."

"What?!" Wang He shouted excitedly, "You have to know how many people are eyeing each other, this world is far from being as stable as imagined." ”

"I know that it is precisely because of this that I have to enter Beijing in person, so as to attract some rats hiding in the shadows, if they don't come out, at least it can mean that the situation is not so serious, they are still afraid, I have made up my mind, no need to persuade again." Xiao Jian then took out a tiger talisman from his arms, "This is the tiger talisman of the 200,000 army of the Northern Imperial Palace, if I have any accidents, these brothers will be handed over to you, and at that time you will find a new master for the northern border army, as for the affairs of the northeast, I have let the secret guard go, and you will stay in my mansion for a while." ”

"Yes!" Wang He knew that it was useless to say more, Xiao Jian handed over such an important matter to himself, how could he behave as a daughter.

"This world ...... We must hold on. ”
