Beidi is not an ordinary small country comparable, covering an area from west to east, almost stretching to occupy the entire northern border of Dasheng, and it is also the longest border defense line of Dasheng to the outside world.

After rushing to the north, Cui Jing has been leading troops to be stationed in the Guannei Road east of Yumen Pass, and in the area of Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate.

If it weren't for the fact that Guannei Road was guarded by Cui Jing, Beidi would not have chosen to attack from the west of Longyou Road and give up the great opportunity to go straight to the Central Plains.

Cui Jing wrote repeatedly at the beginning, proposing to rebuild the northern border defense, so the amount of money consumed was too large, and it took a long time to get the approval of the imperial court, and Cui Jing since he led 80,000 Xuance troops to the north, build a defensive line, camp troops, and integrate the northern troops, which can be said to be slack for a day.

However, the defense line is too long, and the money, food and materials allocated by the imperial court are also delayed from time to time, and it is impossible to build all the border defenses to be impregnable, supplemented by elite soldiers.

Cui Jing thought twice, and in order to hold the northern border as much as possible, he finally chose to give priority to placing heavy troops at the key points of the Guannai Road to hold the most important place. If there is an accident in the western Longyou Road, Beidi must pass through the relatively narrow Yumen Pass fortress before entering the pass, so that the impact of Beidi can be effectively slowed down, leaving room for coping in the pass.

Cui Jing was the first to build the border defense of Yumen Pass and ordered heavy troops to guard it.

Longyou's troops have also been reorganized and drilled, but Longyou is sparsely populated, and Beidi, who is very familiar with the topography here, suddenly led more than 10,000 iron cavalry to invade the territory, and the situation is fierce, Longyou Yizhou has tried his best to resist the delay, but in the end it is still invincible to the fierce Beidi iron cavalry.

These more than 10,000 Beidi iron riders went straight to the Yumen Pass, but they were blocked again at the pass.

At this time, there were Longyou troops chasing behind them, and Cui Jing leading troops to help in front of them-

After listening carefully to the battle situation at this time, most of the officials who were urgently called back breathed a sigh of relief, so to speak, the defense arrangement of the northern border is quite appropriate, and the Beidi Iron Cavalry should not have the threat of entering the customs for the time being.

But after a short period of relief, more uneasiness surged in everyone's hearts.

This time, Beidi only invaded the territory with less than 20,000 iron cavalry, which is not a large-scale army, but more like a way to explore the road first, or the unauthorized action of a certain tribe in Beidi......

At the moment, this battle is not to be feared, but it is only a rehearsal before the arrival of a real hurricane sandstorm......

"It's time to come." Walking on the palace road leaving the Forbidden Palace again, Mrs. Chu said: "The hatred of the family and the country should be over." ”

Zhan Mian, who was accompanying him, looked at the teacher when he heard this, and saw that on the teacher's always thin and serious face, in those eyes that didn't look at anyone or anything, there were two rare cold hatreds at this time.

National hatred is easy to understand, but family hatred ......

Zhan Mian thought for a moment, but couldn't immediately understand it, and in the teacher's words, it was clear that this "family feud" was placed before the "national hatred".

Zhan Mian was distracted, and then raised his head, only to see the thin back of the teacher in an official robe in front of him, and finally said categorically in an old and hoarse voice: "This time, I Dasheng will never have a princess who is close to me again." ”

Zhan Mian suddenly felt two points of emotion in his heart.

When Uncle Wei Yi left the palace, it was already dark.

The young Lord Zuo Xiang, holding a palace lamp in his hand, walked through the long palace road, and his mood was also shaking like a lamp shadow.

Today, in front of the saints, most of them are the Beidi war, and when it comes to the Beidi war, it is always impossible to avoid the victory of the defeat of Beidi more than ten years ago, and in that victory, there are traces of her figure in many places.

Not long ago, he asked his mother a question: [...... After His Royal Highness and his relatives Beidi, did he write to his mother again? 】

This easy-to-answer question made the mother silent for a long time, and then she said in a very soft and slow voice: "There has never been, and there has never been one. 】

Uncle Wei closed his eyes lightly, what kind of three years were that?

In a trance, Wei Shuyi had already crossed the gate of the forbidden palace, and his official sedan chair was waiting outside the gate of this heavy palace, and Changji, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately greeted him and took the palace lamp in the hands of his own Langjun.

Before getting on the sedan car, Wei Shuyi looked in the direction of the south, and after a moment, he turned his head to look north.

"Cui Ling'an ......," he said to himself, "you have to fight hard." ”

After finishing speaking, he suddenly laughed, bowed down and walked away in a sedan chair - where is the use of him to chatter, against Beidi, Cui Lingan will inevitably add a full force in addition to his full strength.

Although the officials have left, the lights in the Ganlu Hall are still bright, and the emperor has no plans to sleep.

Not long after, the new head of the palace took two black-clothed guards into the hall to salute.

The people in the hall had already retreated, and the Holy Book Emperor at the top looked at the black-clothed two, and his voice was majestic and indifferent: "Can it be done?" ”

One of the men in black stepped forward with a long black box in his hand, and bowed his head and replied: "My subordinates are fortunate not to be dishonored!" ”

The head of Sigongtai took the long box, went up the imperial steps, and carefully checked it before opening the box and serving it to the emperor.

The Holy Emperor looked at it, and saw a handful of dust lying quietly in it. It can be seen by the dust whisk handle, which is exactly the one she gave to the Heavenly Mirror in the first place.

The emperor frowned slightly and looked at the two: "Since you have not been dishonored, where is the head?" ”

Death is to see a corpse, not a dust.

"Back to Your Majesty...... The subordinates had already taken off the head of the national teacher, but ......" The man in black in front of him knelt down with his fists clenched, and said with a pause: "But it was stolen halfway!" ”

The Holy Book Emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, and his face turned silent and cold.

Invisible coercion struck from above, and the man in black changed to kowtow: "The head of the national teacher is taken down by his subordinates, and his subordinates will never dare to prevaricate and deceive His Majesty!" ”

Another man in black also knelt down: "Your Majesty, when the leader took down the head of the national teacher that day, his subordinates were also present!" Two other people also witnessed the incident, and they can prove it! ”

The head of Si Gongtai bowed slightly, nodded to the emperor slightly, he had already been verified, those people were the same, and under the separate inquiry, even in the face of some very small questions, the answers given were not different. In the process, no one had any flaws in bullying the king.

The voice of the Holy Emperor could not be heard to believe it: "In this case, who stole the head?" Where are the remainder of the corpses? ”

"After the day was completed, the subordinates and others left their heads, and then buried the corpses...... Later, the head was stolen, and his subordinates went to check where the body was buried, only to see that the rest of the body was gone. ”

So his subordinates boldly speculated that it might be the work of an old friend of the national teacher or someone in the division...... Wants to get his body back for burial. ”

Finally, he said: "Please allow your majesty to allow your subordinates to go to Shu and investigate this matter in detail!" ”

Tianjing is from Shudi, although its master is not visible in the world, but if you explore carefully, you can always find something.

In a moment, the Emperor of the Holy Book waved his hand slowly, causing the person to retreat.

She was so anxious about Beidi and the chaos everywhere that she had no more energy to devote to these minor matters.

She put her eyes on the dust for a moment, and said: "Tell the world that the master of the Heavenly Mirror has ascended to immortality, returned to the void and was born, I am grateful for his merits, and I am willing to build a Taoist temple for his immortal body, and be worshiped by the world." ”

The head of Sigongtai will respond, and retreat with the dust in his hand.

Outside the hall, the night was deep, the wind blew, and the shadows of the trees were swaying.

Yao Yi returned home from Dali Temple, and as usual, he first asked his personal servant in a low voice: "Does the girl have a letter back from home?" ”

The servant shook his head: "Master Lang, there is no ...... yet"

Yao Yi sighed.

Since last year, he tried to ask his daughter to find out the "person behind the girl", but his daughter not only rejected him in a letter, but also rarely sent back the family letter after that, but seemed to avoid suspicion with him......

"It's really that the lord forgot his father." Yao Yi muttered in a low voice.

However, even if his daughter doesn't pass on the book and comes back, he has heard about his daughter by chance, and there are people in Beijing who are passing it on......

But who would have thought that it would be his Yao Yi's daughter?

Previously, Dayun Temple sacrificed to the sky, the gods and elephants hurt people on the spot, Pei's conspiracy was exposed, and Ran Er self-destructed...... There was a lot of uproar.

Now everyone in the world thinks that Ran'er has half entered the empty door and no longer appears in front of people, but they don't know that she has already gone to the Chang family girl who almost died under the gods.

It's unpredictable.

Yao Yi sighed in his heart.

But what is more unpredictable than the world is the girl......

Even if he thinks about it now, he still feels strange, Jiuniang is weak, and his cousin is also very timid, this woman counts up three generations, and she can't make up a decent courage, how can she give birth to such a bold girl?

Could it be that the elders in front of them didn't have the courage to grow up and save money, and in the end they were all born in this girl alone?

Or perhaps...... It's with him.

Not to mention, now looking around, the characters surnamed Li tremble and count, there are really few who can take care of the overall situation like her...... Take this time to solve the crisis of Jingzhou, it is an undoubted move to protect the country.

"Really...... Enter the game with your body, and continue the world by day. Thousands of miles away, an old man sighed and put down his calculating fingers.

"You're a Taoist, aren't you?" The boatman who was rocking the oars saw the old man pinching his fingers, and talked with a smile: "I don't know where you studied?" ”

The old man smiled: "There is no teacher and no door, just a random repair." ”

The boatman disagreed, although he didn't talk about family affairs, but the old man had a bit of fairy wind on his body at a glance, and he just didn't want to reveal too much.

The boat rowed through the thin night and docked at dawn.

The old man went ashore and left, and the boatman subconsciously watched him, only to see that the old man was dressed in a gray cloth robe, and his steps were extremely brisk, and he soon disappeared on the green path.

At dawn, the sky and the earth were foggy blue, and the fisherman blinked vigorously, and then checked the dozen or so copper plates in his hand, only to confirm that the manned night crossing was not an illusion, but he still couldn't help but wonder: "It's really like meeting a fairy......

When the "fairy" walked until the morning sun rose, he folded a green lotus leaf, drank cool spring water by the spring, wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeve, let out a pleasant sigh, and then got up, walked with his hands, and floated to the south: "It's time to go to Jiangdu to make an appointment......

At this time, the Jiangdu is full of flowers and people, which is a noisy early scene in the south of the Yangtze River in early summer.

Recently, the Jiangdu Thorn Mansion has also been quite noisy.

The history of the Zhuzhou Assassin has arrived, and at this time they are gathering in the front hall to discuss matters, and urge Wang Changshi to ask: "...... Dare to ask when the envoy will return? ”

They all knew about the Anzhou matter, and they were mostly concerned about it in the urging voice at this moment, without the slightest impatience.

Cao Hongxuan of Anzhou, Huangzhou Shengbao Ming was defeated and ambushed, which brought a particularly heavy psychological shadow to the history of Shuzhou and Gwangju, if they didn't wake up in time, I was afraid that the tombs would have been built up at this time...... No, there is no grave for such a death.

In addition to the shadows, there is also a bit of unknown heat in the heart of Gwangju Thorn Shi - soon he will be able to meet the person who is really suitable to lead him to rebel, and the other party is so capable that he is quite looking forward to it.

In anticipation, the Gwangju Thorn Shi also asked: "I wonder if the Jiedu envoy has already left to return to Jiangdu?" ”

When Wang Changshi was about to speak, everyone suddenly heard a rush of footsteps outside the hall approaching, faintly mixed with the sound of many salutations.

A small official hurried to pass the word, and said with a happy face: "The festival has brought the lord back!" ”

Everyone in the hall was refreshed when they heard this, and they hurriedly tidied up their official robes and appearance, and turned to look outside the hall.

At this time, I saw a young man wearing the same official uniform, who had strode out of the hall with a happy face.

Everyone looked at it, only to see that it was Shi Yunhui, the assassin of Hezhou-this kid, not very old, and scheming!

And in such a flattering move, they ...... How can they be left behind by mere children!

All the people hurriedly followed, and they all rushed out of the hall.

This is the front yard of the Thorn Mansion, and Chang Sui Ning is a horse outside the mansion, and he comes here directly, so he only slows down the people who pass on it.

She walked separately from the army behind her, and the itinerary was not disclosed to the public, only Yao Ran, Wang Changshi and others knew that yesterday afternoon, Yao Ran personally went out of Jiangdu City to greet her.

Chang Suining rested outside the city for a whole night, and this morning it was dawning, he washed and bathed and cleaned up his description, changed into the official robe of the Jiedu envoy brought by Yao Ran, and then left for the city.

At this time, everyone saw that the girl who came under the crowd of people was tall, with light steps, and a dazzling face, and the robe of the festival envoy, which had never belonged to women, fit very well on her, and lined her with vigor and vigor, and also plated her with a supreme light called power.

"I've kept you waiting." As she approached, she bowed slightly, not pretending to be majestic, but with a little smile.

The assassins hurriedly raised their hands to salute, and the voices came and went, but the girl who walked with her hands did not stop at her feet.

They hurriedly and respectfully stepped to the sides and followed her into the hall.

Chang Suining sat down at the top of the hall, with a casual and calm posture.

Everyone stood still, most of them meeting Chang Suining for the first time, so that they could begin to declare their identities.

"Hezhou stabbed Shi Yunhui!"

"Chuzhou Thorn Shi Banrun!"

“……”

"Chuzhou Thorn History Shen Wen Shuang......"

"Luzhou Thorn Shi Liang Tanzhi!"

and those who returned to Jiangdu with Chang Suining: "Shenzhou stabbed Shi Dingsu!" ”

“……”

"—See the Temperance Envoy!"

The names of the state assassins were resigned, and they all bowed down to the people who were headed.

Good night everyone.
