Li Yunsheng looked at Wei Xiang.

"Tell Ling Zuo and order Jin Wuwei to close the city gate and arrest the remnants of the Wei Guo spies."

Wei Xiang nodded and turned his head to leave silently.

It's just that the little taro stayed.

Immediately after Wei Xiang, Shangguan Xuanran and Guo rushed to the chase, followed by more than a dozen forbidden soldiers and secret agents of the Chu State.

"Your Majesty."

The empress's voice was a little cold.

"In the capital of the city, there are several secret agents of the country.

Guo Chai, how did you do it? ”

At the door, Guo chased and said.

"The minister is derelict in his duties, please ask Your Majesty to condemn you."

"The owner of Yuelai Restaurant is a remnant of the anti-party of the country, and I will give you a chance to make meritorious contributions.

All the remnants of the patriotic spies of the Jingshi were cleared in one fell swoop. ”

"Obey."

The sixth child stood in the courtyard, a little at a loss, and this time he couldn't run at all.

Shangguan glanced at the scene in the courtyard.

"Your Majesty, the minister should escort you back to the palace first."

The empress wanted Li Yunsheng to send her back, but she turned her head and glanced at Li Yunsheng.

There was a big hole in the chest of the robe, and she gave up this thought.

"Go back to the palace."

"Congratulations to Your Majesty."

As soon as the empress walked to the door, she suddenly reacted.

The talisman that he bought for a thousand taels of silver tickets was deceived by Li Yunsheng!

She immediately turned her head to look at Li Yunsheng, ready to ask for it.

Where will Li Yunsheng give her a chance.

"Congratulations to send Your Majesty back to the palace!"

Hum!

Jiang Qingying snorted coldly, brushed his sleeves and left.

After the empress left, Guo Chai walked quickly in front of Li Yunsheng.

"Li Xiang, you're not injured, are you?"

"I'm fine, how did Shangguan Xuanran find this?"

"Xiaguan just got the news that the Thirteen Princes of the Patriotic Kingdom sent someone to infiltrate the Jingshi.

I heard that Your Majesty and you are enjoying the lanterns, so I immediately led people to come to protect them.

I just happened to meet someone from Jingzhao Mansion, and I found this place.

Shangguan Xuanran met halfway, so he came with him at the same time. ”

Li Yunsheng didn't continue to ask any more, but he knew that Guo Chai had lied about this question.

He pointed to the beard and the sixth.

"These two people are handed over to you, find out the thirteen princes for me as soon as possible."

"Yes."

Guo chased after him, and several secret agents of the Chu State quickly entered the courtyard and escorted the bearded man and the sixth child away at the same time.

However, he did not leave immediately.

"Xiangye, Northern Qi has sent back reliable news.

The Northern Qi army has recently made abnormal movements, and it is very likely that it will go south to invade our Great Chu. ”

Li Yunsheng looked at the north, and Northern Qi saw that Da Chu had just eaten Weiguo, and he was greedy.

"I know, tomorrow I will play Your Majesty."

……

On the way home.

Li Yunsheng said curiously.

"How did you and Sister Wei Xiang know that I was in that yard?"

Little Taro threw a candy into his mouth.

"Sister Wei Xiang said that there is a master near that courtyard."

"A master?"

Li Yunsheng's mind is full of thoughts, Wei Guo died of one product, and there is still one more?

But if it's someone who defends the country, why don't you take action?

On the side, Xiao Taro continued excitedly.

"Guess who we saw?"

"Who do you see that man?"

"I don't see it clearly."

"Harm!"

Little Taro explained.

"We saw the man's back, an old man with white hair."

She gestured with her hands.

"That old man disappeared with a snort, faster than the big sister."

Li Yunsheng fell into deep thought, and the white-haired old man ......

Seeing the lanterns on the side of the road, the little taro pulled the corner of his clothes.

"Childe, can you buy me one?"

Li Yunsheng came back to his senses and looked in the direction pointed by Xiao Taro, which was a lantern in the shape of a white snake.

To tell the truth, he has had a shadow of snakes since he was a child.

"Isn't that rabbit pretty?"

Little Taro looked at it with a blank eye.

"I like that little white snake."

When the two of them walked to the door of the house with lanterns, Wei Xiang had just returned.

Li Yunsheng couldn't wait to know who that first-class master was.

"Little Taro said, you just saw a first-class master in that small courtyard?"

Wei Xiang knew what he wanted to ask.

"I don't see who it is."

At this time, Liu Quan came out.

"Xiangye, General Lu Fangtian from the north sent you a letter."

in the hall.

Li Yunsheng opened the letter and read it carefully.

The content of the letter is similar to what Guo Chai said, there is an abnormal movement in Northern Qi, and Lu Fangtian hopes that the imperial court will allocate funds and grain, so as to deal with it in advance.

He closed his eyes, and his mind was conjured up of the cities and towns on the border.

The reason why Northern Qi was able to continue to invade the border of Great Chu was mainly because the natural barrier of Great Chu had been lost before.

The Yanyun Mountains and the Taihua Mountains are an important line of defense to block the southward movement of the Northern Qi Iron Cavalry.

If Northern Qi wants to invade the Great Chu Plain, it has to climb the mountain, and there is no way for this person to climb the mountain and the horse.

And the thirteen states of Yanbei, which connect the two mountain ranges, all have important passes to resist the Northern Qi.

In this way, the superiority of the Northern Qi's own cavalry would be seriously weakened.

But the problem is that the thirteen states of Yanbei were ceded to the Northern Qi in the previous dynasty, resulting in the northern border being in a passive state.

Beyond the thirteen states of Yanbei, it is a horse Pingchuan.

The cavalry of the Northern Qi came and went like the wind, and the Great Chu border was often invaded.

After a generation of hard work, Emperor Xian and Father Li made the army in the north of Great Chu strong.

As a result, although there are constant frictions in the north, there have been no large-scale wars in recent years.

It's a pity that they died one after another before they could recover the thirteen states of Yanbei.

This is also the reason why he wants to get rid of the country at all costs.

If you want to recover the thirteen states of Yanbei, you must first solve this threat behind you.

Wei Guo stabbed him in the back, such a thing has not happened before.

It's just that Beiqi started earlier than he expected.

He hadn't gone to trouble Northern Qi yet, and the other party was ready to make a move.

In fact, it is also understandable that Da Chu annexed the Wei Kingdom.

At this time, the people's hearts are unstable and the army's morale is uncertain, and it is the best time.

If you wait until Great Chu completely stabilizes the country, it will be even more difficult for Northern Qi to go south.

……

Northern Qi, Imperial Palace.

"Your Majesty, the government has ordered your lordship to meet you."

Northern Qi Emperor Yelu Yuan immediately said.

"Let him in."

A moment later, the government ordered Yelu Jinlou to enter the main hall.

"See Your Majesty."

Ye Luyuan raised his head and asked.

"What's the matter?"

Yelu Jinlou looked left and right, but did not speak immediately.

"Why, do you have to retreat left and right to say?"

"Your Majesty, this matter is very important."

Hearing this, Ye Luyuan waved his hand, and the maids in the hall bowed down and retreated.

"What's the matter, tell me."

Yelu Jinlou stepped forward and said in a low voice.

"A letter from Lu Fangtian of the State of Chu, willing to serve my Northern Qi."

"Oh?" Ye Luyuan's face showed a hint of joy, "I didn't expect you to really move him." ”

"There are many factions of soldiers in the north of the Chu State, and Lu Fangtian is naturally unwilling to be excluded all the time.

As long as you promise heavy profits, you will definitely be tempted. ”

"Good!" Yelu Yuan got up, "With him as the internal response, this time, I want to step on the capital of Chu State." ”
