"Come on, serve the wine!"

This is Zhuang Yan's big tent, and he will naturally be the east.

Zhuang Yan has nearly 60,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and almost all the troops that can be looted in the entire Xunbai Province have been brought, as the largest prince and king, he seems to have other plans.

Su Changying, Liu Xiyu and others sat down one after another, looking at each other one by one, not knowing what Zhuang Yan was doing when he called everyone to come.

"Singing and dancing, it's time to begin. Zhuang Yan said lightly.

In the barracks, a slender woman wearing a black cloak walked in, under the light of the candlelight, the beautiful faces were very moving, it was unimaginable that there were dozens of high-quality beauties hidden in the march, but it seemed that these beauties were just the forbidden belly raised by Zhuang Yan.

The dancers raised their hands to untie the cloaks on their chests, and when the cloaks hit the ground, everyone's eyes lit up, these dancers wore only close-fitting silk dresses, outlining their graceful postures very charmingly, and their postures swayed gently, which was extremely beautiful.

"Everyone, how are you the beauties of my Xunbai Province?" Zhuang Yan asked suddenly.

Su Changying was stunned and said with a smile: "Very good, Xunbai Province is really good at mountains and rivers, so it can be so beautiful." ”

Zhuang Yan picked up the wine glass and laughed: "Come, let's drink a full glass first!"

No one dared not give Zhuang Yan's face, and everyone raised their glasses.

After three rounds of drinking, Zhuang Yan waved his hand, and suddenly the dancing girls sat down, almost every prince was a dancing queen next to him, Zhuang Yan squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "There is wine today and drunk today, please don't live up to the good times, hahaha......"

Liu Xiyu, the Taishou of Bailing City, frowned and said, "Lord Zhuang Yan, I don't know what it was about calling us here this time?"

Zhuang Yan said: "It's not a big deal, it's just to invite all the adults to come to the banquet, what's the matter, does Liu Taishou think that I, Zhuang Yan, am thoughtful......?"

Liu Xiyu clenched his fists: "No, please don't worry too much about Lord Zhuang Yan." ”

"No, I do have a thought!" Zhuang Yan suddenly said in a stern voice, and all the princes immediately looked over.

Zhuang Yan seemed to be a little drunk, stood up tremblingly, held the wine glass in his hand, and said: "We are all ministers of the empire, and we have worked hard for the sake of King Qin, and all the troops raised by the adults present today are above 10,000 people, and we are living in our respective cities, seizing the city from the enemy, killing the enemy generals, but so far there has been no reward, and why should Wei Qiu, Xu Jiantao and others be added to the rank and meritorious service? Why?" It's just that they are the descendants of Lin Muyu, the king of Qin, and I, Zhuang Yan, am not worth it for everyone here!"

Su Changying was silent.

Liu Xiyu put down the wine glass, his face showed a look of disgrief, and said: "That's right, they look down on our origins, thinking that we are just local heroes, the words of Zetian Hall have never been in our hands, and Her Royal Highness the Empress is only reused by people like Yong Yifan, Su Yu, Lin Muyu, Feng Jixing, etc., she is nepotistic, and foreign vassals like us will never have a chance." ”

"That's right!"

A strong man stood up, it was a county guard of Tianshu Province, named Zhou Heng, who had raised more than 20,000 troops, his face was red at this time, and he said angrily: "We also want to serve the empire, but why are we under people everywhere!"

Zhuang Yan smiled faintly and said: "That's right, that's the truth, if we each hand over the military power in our hands, then I'm afraid it will soon become fish on the chopping board, to be slaughtered by others, my lords, we can't help but think about our future and future!"

Su Changying squinted her eyes and asked with a smile, "So...... What does Master Zhuang Yan think?"

Zhuang Yan laughed, threw the wine glass to the ground, and said: "The world should be governed by the people of the world, why should one person have the final say?"

Everyone was shocked, Zhuang Yan's words were no different from rebellion.

Liu Xiyu frowned and said, "Lord Zhuang Yan, please be careful...... Her Royal Highness the Empress is benevolent to the world, and has never done anything negative to the common people, if you say this kind of thing, if it is heard by the three kings or the lord of Xijun, I am afraid that you will not be able to eat and walk around. ”

"What, Lord Liu is afraid?" Zhuang Yan smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and pointed to the door, and said: "The door is there, if Lord Liu is afraid, please do it, my Zhuang Yan will not leave cowardly people under his account." ”

Liu Xiyu gritted his teeth, and when he came in, he saw that there were many guards outside the tent, if he really went out, I am afraid that he would not have a chance to return to his big tent, Zhuang Yan is ruthless, but there is nothing that he can't do.

"I'm not afraid, I'm just worried. Liu Xi said.

"Don't worry. ”

Zhuang Yan said: "As long as our princes from all walks of life hug each other, what can they do?"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

Everyone agreed.

Su Changying said, "What does Lord Zhuang Yan want to do?"

Zhuang Yan said: "Didn't Her Royal Highness the Empress want twenty percent of our troops? Then give it to him, after you return to the camp, you will extract the old, weak, sick and disabled in your own army, and hand them over to the Imperial Military Department, these old and weak were originally used to make up the number, and it doesn't matter if you give them it, in addition, please gather your garrison and surround the princes' army of my Xunbai Province, so as not to be broken by each one." ”

"Well, that makes sense!"

Zhuang Yan squinted his eyes and said, "In addition, we will also play together." ”

"Oh, what's going on?" Su Changying was stunned.

"Cutting power, for the stability of the empire, it is necessary to cut power. ”

"Whose power is it to be cut?"

"Three kings, four dukes, five marquis!"

“......”

Everyone was silent, the three kings, the four dukes, and the five marquis were all ministers of the empire, except for Yaoyuan, the Marquis of Jinghai, who had been killed in battle, and Luo Xin, the duke of the Northern Kingdom, the rest of them were all meritorious, and it was probably not easy to cut their power.

Zhuang Yan seemed to see everyone's doubts, so he smiled and said: "I know, your lordships think this matter is difficult, but in fact, it is not that difficult, we just need to petition, and decide to ask Her Royal Highness the Empress to go down, we only need to put on a posture, only by cutting the power of the three kings, will all of us have a bright future, isn't it?"

"Yes!"

Everyone nodded in unison.

Liu Xiyu frowned and said: "If we rashly play like this, I'm afraid it will be no different from rebellion, after all, Her Royal Highness the Empress is a god realm cultivator, plus Lin Muyu, Feng Jixing and others, how can we, mortals, face their might?"

"Therefore, we need someone who can make Her Royal Highness the Empress feel jealous, and at the same time, someone who can control Lin Muyu and the wind. Zhou Heng smiled slightly.

"Oh?"

Zhuang Yan was stunned: "Is there such a person in the world? Lord Zhou Heng, who is it?"

"If I bring this man out, I'm sure I'll be able to save the day. ”

"Who the hell is it?"

"Light Rong is selling it down, hahaha, wait and see. ”

Zhou Heng was complacent and said: "My Tianshu Province is rich in materials, and the hidden dragon and crouching tiger will definitely open your eyes!"

......

Seven days later, the Imperial War Department was stationed in the barracks.

Early in the morning, a column of cavalry shuttled into the camp, it was Lin Muyu and Feng Jixing who brought a group of guards to select new soldiers, this is Qin Yin's promise to them, allowing the gentian battalion and the forbidden army to give priority to enriching the troops, and the twenty percent of the troops contributed by the princes outside the city are already 130,000 people, which should be enough.

However, when Lin Muyu and Feng Jixing entered the school field, their faces turned blue.

The school grounds were lined with recruits, but they were not neatly dressed, almost all of them were veterans, and many of them were even disabled and could not even hold an iron spear.

"What's going on?" Wei Qiu frowned: "Their average age can be my father!"

Feng Jixing sneered: "I know, where are these princes so kind to hand over their elite troops, they are just dealing with it, they should have slashed them with a knife in the Zetian Palace." ”

"If you cut them, Xiao Yin, the empress, will not be able to do well. Lin Muyu pouted.

"Then what do you say now?" Feng Jixing was a little impatient.

"It seems that the princes have begun to form an alliance with each other, they began to move the camp a few days ago, and now all of them are in the south of Lanyan City, a full six or seven hundred thousand horses, and the military rations that supply them every day are not a small number, if this continues, I am afraid that Lanyan City will be eaten up by them in less than half a year!"

"Ah Yu, what should we do?" Feng Jixing asked, "You can't always be so passive and helpless, right?"

"We don't have troops in our hands now, and we can't use force against them, after all, they are all people of the empire, and once we use force, I'm afraid we will lose people's hearts. Lin Muyu groaned: "In this way, think of a way, capture the thief and capture the king first, find an opportunity to slaughter all the princes and kings, and their armies will naturally belong to us." ”

"What kind of chances?"

"Banquet, Brother Feng, you can set up a banquet in your mansion to entertain the princes and kings. ”

Feng Jixing glanced at him: "You kid entertain me, where did I come from the mansion, after returning to Lanyan City, I have been eating and drinking in the forbidden army camp, you don't know, but it's better to have a banquet in your mansion." ”

Lin Muyu glared at him: "Do I have a mansion? Have you forgotten that I have also been eating and drinking at Xiao Yin's place for seven or eight days?"

"What then?"

"Let Fan Gong invite, the Shenhou Mansion is still a big place......"

"Whether it's okay or not, let's go and discuss it with Fan Gong. ”

"Hmm!"

Yong Yifan, who was drinking morning tea, suddenly sneezed.

"What's the matter, Daddy?" asked the retort.

Yi Yifan rubbed his nose and said, "I always feel that something bad is coming." ”

"Oh, what could it be?"

The voice of the guard came from outside the door: "Duke Fan, His Royal Highness King Qin, His Royal Highness King Xin, and Duke Wei Guo are here!"

"Sure enough, something bad is coming!"

Yong Yifan squinted and smiled: "There must be nothing good about these people coming." ”

Retort: "......"

......

Ten minutes later, after listening to Lin Muyu's words, Yi Yifan was already dead.

"Fan Gong, please also make a generous and righteous decision!"

Lin Muyu said: "Brother Feng and I don't have a decent place to live in Lanyan City, your Shenhou Mansion is so spacious, and with your prestige banquet, I'm not afraid that the princes won't come!"

Yong Yifan took a deep breath: "When will there be a banquet?"

"Three days later. ”

"That'...... Okay......" Yi Fan glanced up at Lin Muyu and Feng Jixing, and said, "Does His Highness Yin know about this matter?"

"I don't know. ”

"You two dare to do it, too. ”

"Fan Gong is praised!"
