In the Imperial Palace of Qianguo, Shangguan Wan wore a dragon robe, standing gracefully and luxuriously on the city wall, overlooking the fire of the post house, with an indifferent expression.

Behind him, Prime Minister Gu Bai bowed his head and said nothing, accompanying the empress, enjoying the red night scene set off by the firelight.

"Prime Minister, where is Bai Qi?" Ahead, Shangguan Wan asked lightly.

Gu Bai bowed and said, "Your Majesty, after Bai Qi left Fengming City, he rode his horse back to Qianguo in the starry night, and according to the distance, it is estimated that he is still on the road to Jinzhou at this time. ”

Shangguan Wan chuckled, shook her head and said, "Originally, I thought that Ling Hu Chu and the three of them could make some trouble in my Fengming City, but it's a pity that I still think highly of them." ”

Gu Bai smiled slightly and said: "Yes, if Bai Qi is dead, Your Majesty doesn't have to cooperate with Bai Qi, without Bai Qi, the Wei State is a plate of scattered sand, even if Cao Chi has some ability, it will definitely be difficult to deter the ambition of the six kings on the border of Wei for a while, and at that time, Your Majesty will be able to win with one blow if he waves his troops against Wei State." ”

"The three kings did it in Fengming City, originally to catch Bai Qi off guard, but this Bai Qi is one of the six famous generals in the world, and his means and temperament are all first-class, and their thoughts are probably seen clearly by Bai Qi a long time ago."

Shangguan Wan said coldly: "So, I still have to cooperate with Bai Qi?" ”

Gu Bai thought for a moment and said, "You don't necessarily have to cooperate, but at least you have to be ready to cooperate." ”

Shangguan Wan nodded, and suddenly said, "What do you think of Xiao Chen." ”

Gu Bai thought for a while and said, "Is that the new King of Yong'an, Xiao Chen?" ”

Shangguan Wan said: "This time, Bai Qi asked me to send troops to the Wei State, but the first thing to pass is Xiao Chen's Yong'an, I still remember that when I was in Yong'an, I broke a lot of soldiers and horses. ”

Gu Bai said in a condensed voice: "Didn't Bai Qi say that Xiao Chen would not obstruct my Qianguo army?" ”

Shangguan Wan chuckled and said: "I also met Xiao Chen today, but judging from his performance, he does look like a useless man, but don't forget, his father is Xiao Ding, the hero who will not retreat from the fight to the death, and has saved forever in the turbulent tide many times, even if Xiao Chen doesn't want to defend, I estimate that the black armor army under him will not necessarily agree." ”

"In short, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and I still have to prepare with one more hand."

Gu Bai laughed when he heard this: "If Your Majesty is worried about this matter, then there is no need, as far as the minister knows, that Xiao Chen's subordinates are only five thousand black armor, and this time there seems to be a guard named Qunying Pavilion." ”

"But just these people, if they are really obsessed at that time, under the hundreds of thousands of iron horsemen of my Qian Kingdom, he has a small pill city, what resistance will he have?"

Shangguan Wan turned his head and glanced at Gu Bai and said, "Is the Prime Minister too optimistic, do you remember that Xiao Chen was still followed by a sword immortal Ye Han who retreated from a thousand armies?" ”

"Shhh Gu Bai took a deep breath of cold air and said, "Is it the Ye Han who made Ye Zhichu give birth to a demon?" ”

After a pause, Gu Bai said again: "Your Majesty, but that time to withdraw from the army, wasn't it the result of the negotiation between Your Majesty and Prime Minister Wei Yu, isn't it a bit too alarmist to exaggerate a martial artist like this?" ”

Shangguan Wan said with a look of reminiscence on her face: "That retreat did have a battle situation, but among these factors, didn't there happen to be a point that could not be attacked for a long time. ”

"Prime Minister, don't underestimate these warriors."

As if remembering something, Shangguan Wan suddenly said: "By the way, speaking of the right minister, he has been mysterious these days, what has he done?" ”

Gu Bai smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, you have always known that I disagree with the right minister, what did he do, Weichen really doesn't know." ”

As he was talking, a eunuch walked quickly to Shangguan Wan and bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Wei Yu, the right minister, asks to see you." ”

Shangguan Wan smiled slightly and said, "No, say that Cao Cao Cao has arrived, announce it." ”

Hearing that Wei Yu was coming, Gu Bai's face suddenly changed slightly, and he slowly stood on Shangguan Wan's left side.

Among the four kingdoms in the world, Qianguo is the only one that follows the ancient system and has set up a left and right prime minister. Of course, in the first two emperors of the Qianguo, Huang Yulin and Huang Tianhua, the system of left and right prime ministers was also abolished for a time.

It wasn't until Shangguan Wan became emperor that this system was reactivated, and Gu Bai of the main and one faction was used as the left minister, and Wei Yu from the main battle faction was the right minister. The two prime ministers cooperated with each other to assist Shangguan Wan in handling the government, but in the eyes of outsiders, it naturally also meant to contain each other.

It's just that what Shangguan Wan and Gu Bai didn't expect was that this time, in addition to Wei Yu, there was also a man in black who followed Wei Yu to Shangguan Wan.

The man in black has no other features, except that the top of the hat is embroidered with a dark gold "A" character!

If Xiao Chen was here, he would naturally be able to recognize it at a glance, this was the armor guard who had set up an ambush in Yangnan and wanted to kill him.

Seeing the man in black, Shangguan Wan's eyes shrank and said, "Prime Minister Wei Yu, he is ......"

Wei Yu's old face squeezed out a mysterious smile, and bowed his hand and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister has not been in the court for the past few days, in fact, he has gone to invite this person." ”

Gu Bai on the side snorted coldly and said, "So it's mysterious." ”

In the face of Gu Bai's ridicule, Wei Yu just smiled indifferently and continued: "Prime Minister Gu Bai doesn't know, there are countless gangs and forces in this river and lake, and the one in front of you, if you tell his origin, it is estimated that the entire rivers and lakes will be shocked. ”

Gu Bai sneered and said, "So, is Prime Minister Wei Yu planning to invite this master in the rivers and lakes to govern the internal affairs of our Qianguo?" ”

Ignoring Gu Bai, who was looking for fault, Wei Yu turned his head to Shangguan Wan and bowed again: "Your Majesty, as early as after Ye Zhichu's defeat in Tiger Roaring City, Lao Chen knew that Xiao Chen had a martial arts powerhouse beside him, and this kind of person, with the so-called conspiracy and tricks, is extremely difficult to deal with, for this reason, Lao Chen deliberately took a trip to Yangnan and contacted this Jialiu person, Lao Chen thought, if he needs it in the future, His Majesty may be able to use him." ”

Nodding slightly, Shangguan Wan looked at Jia Liudao and said, "I take the liberty of asking, can you deal with the swordsman next to Xiao Chen?" ”

Jialiu shook his head and said, "I can't deal with it." ”

Shangguan Wan's face couldn't help showing a look of disappointment, and Jia Liu suddenly said: "But above me, there are Jia 5, Jia 4, and Jia 3...... To deal with that person, Jia Er thought it was enough. ”

Shangguan Wan's face changed suddenly, and she looked at Wei Yu with great joy and said, "Lord Right Minister, you have really never disappointed me." ”

Wei Yu smiled indifferently and said, "It is the duty of the old minister to share the worries of His Majesty. ”

After a pause, Wei Yu suddenly raised his head and looked at Shangguan Wan and said: "It's just Your Majesty, the old minister inquired carefully, the people around Xiao Chen are a group of heroes from the rivers and lakes that Xiao Ding had snare before, in order to be foolproof, the old minister thinks that in addition to Jiawei's side, we should also invite someone." ”

Shangguan Wan raised her eyebrows and said, "Who?" ”

Wei Yu smiled faintly: "Grandmaster realm, blood slaughter ......"
