As soon as the other party spoke, Shi Lei hurriedly retracted his right hand on the dagger, stood up and looked at the two people who were walking slowly.

Although they spoke the official dialect of South Vietnam, they had the same accent as Zhao Dan, with the accent of the Northern Qi Kingdom.

got closer, and seeing the clothes on their bodies, Shi Lei immediately guessed their identities.

"I'm Shi Lei, I've seen ...... Shaw Monarch. ”

Shi Lei first gave Xiao Shuo an official salute, and then bowed to Li Mu.

"I don't know what this general is called?"

Looking at his age and appearance, he looks like General Li among the four great generals of the Northern Qi Dynasty.

But Shi Lei couldn't show his understanding of Northern Qi too much, so he could only pretend to be stupid.

Li Mu returned the salute and introduced himself very coldly.

"Li Mu."

"Hello General Lee."

Li Mu raised his eyelids in interest and did not reply.

It was Xiao Shuo, who looked down at the dragon robe covered with wind and dust on his body, and quipped.

"Isn't Shifu Yin worried that someone is pretending to be a lone person to sneak into Jinling to make trouble?"

This joke was a bit big, and Shi Lei couldn't help laughing.

"If the other party had such a coercion as Monarch Xiao that would be submissible from a distance, he would not have resorted to such a clumsy plan."

Xiao Shuo took a serious look at this Shi Lei, who betrayed Western Chu and defected to South Vietnam.

Not to mention anything else, this son is listening to what he says.

"Since you have guessed Lone's identity, then guess why Lone came? If you can't guess, it's not bad to enjoy the flowers and the moon here today and taste the Jinling food. ”

Xiao Shuo was anti-guest, sat on the chair where the master usually copied the case file, and gestured to Li Mu on the chair that the guest should sit on.

"General Li, don't stand, you're tired from a long journey, why don't you entertain us while Lord Shi is guessing?"

When I arrived at Xiao Shuo in Jinling, I felt as comfortable as I was at home.

Li Mu knew that this was due to the fact that His Majesty had sent several envoys to Jinling when Mo Qing was alive.

But what he couldn't understand was.

It's all here, and the autumn geese are here to kill and kill, why isn't Your Majesty in a hurry to deal with the matter of the prisoners of war in Western Chu?

Could it be as His Majesty said.

The young man in front of him couldn't guess their intentions, so he ran in vain and let the Western Chu prisoners of war make trouble.

Still is......

His Majesty deliberately wanted to take the opportunity to deplete the forces of South Vietnam?

"Why doesn't General Li sit?"

Xiao Shuo saw a complicated look flashing on Li Mu's face, worried that this honest general would let people see through his thoughts, so he quickly interrupted Li Mu's thoughts.

"The last general will sit here."

Li Mu said, flashing to the chair.

However, before his ass touched the seat of the chair, he listened to Shi Lei's slow and faint speech.

"Monarch Xiao came to Jinling this time for the Western Chu prisoners of war."

Not a tentative question, but an affirmative statement.

This made Xiao Shuo, who had just picked up the teapot and was about to pour tea and drink saliva, and looked at Shi Lei with interest.

"Why did Lord Shi say this?"

Although Shi Lei said what he said, Xiao Shuo did not directly agree.

He sent someone to send the letter of state to the boy of King's Landing, naturally he would not send another copy to Jinling, and according to the time, Shi Lei would not see the letter in the hand of the boy of King's Landing.

And if the news of Chuxian County is to be transmitted to Jinling, no matter how fast the horse is, it will take the middle of the night to convey it.

"Before leaving, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked Chief Manager Zhao to write a letter to inform Monarch Xiao, hoping that Monarch Xiao would send troops to reinforce the border pass, and beware of Western Chu raising troops to attack, it stands to reason that a large number of soldiers and soldiers in Western Chu have been invested in the northwest battlefield to fight against Da Zhen, and it is impossible to mobilize too many troops to invade the border pass, only need the Northern Qi to send tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to build a momentum, so that the border pass between Western Chu and South Vietnam can be stable, and this kind of trivial matter does not have to bother Monarch Xiao to run a trip himself."

But Xiao Shuo still came.

It can only be said that Xiao Jun's drunkard does not mean to drink.

After listening to Shi Lei's analysis, Xiao Shuo nodded appreciatively.

"Although you are only the Yin of Jinling Mansion, you are very concerned about the situation in the world."

"Your Highness will hand over Jinling to me, and I will definitely return a safe and undamaged Jinling to Your Highness."

This is why Shi Lei did not keep a low profile, but revealed Xiao Shuo's intention in the blink of an eye.

"Monarch Xiao came this time to weaken the strength of Western Chu with the help of Western Chu's attack on South Vietnam, and in addition to the large army on the battlefield in the northwest, the only people who can labor Monarch Xiao can come are those prisoners of war who are mining in Xishan."

When Shi Lei said this, his face changed for a moment.

But only for a moment.

And he went back to normal.

As early as when he learned that Mi Duo had sent the Seventh Emperor Zi Neng to Jiazhou, he had already thought about what would happen next.

Among them was the possibility that the Dows would attempt to attack South Vietnam from within, taking advantage of the prisoners of war.

Especially in combination with the methods that designed him, he knew that Mi Duo was worried that he was still alive, which would lead to some situations where the prisoners of war would not obey the king's orders but obey his arrangements, so he designed to make him angry with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and make him "sacrifice his life for righteousness".

Like at this time.

"Monarch Xiao also came to Jinling with General Li, presumably because Western Chu sent a general to South Vietnam, and Monarch Xiao came here in the dust, so it can be seen that the general has been disposed of."

Bang Bang Bang!

Xiao Shuo couldn't help but applaud Shi Lei's speculation.

"It is worthy of being the descendant who was specially praised by Junyuan girl in the letter, it is really powerful."

But this son did not betray Xi Chu.

But Fan Duo listened to what this son said at the beginning, and this time he did not have the opportunity to weaken the national strength of Western Chu.

Xiao Shuo stared at Shi Lei's face with burning eyes, and said in his heart: If it weren't for the people of the King's Landing, Gu would definitely snatch back the Northern Qi and become a national teacher.

"I heard that Lord Shi has a brotherhood with those Western Chu prisoners of war, and he wants to eradicate those prisoners of war, I don't know what Lord Shi thinks?"

Shi Lei, who was still talking and laughing just now, finally didn't hold back, and his face showed helpless sadness.

Loyalty and righteousness are difficult to achieve.

He knew that the general situation was unstoppable, Xiao Shuo was in person, and as long as the prisoners of war obeyed the king's orders, no matter what his position was, the outcome could not be changed.

"I can only hope that they can make timely predictions, stop the precipice in time, don't listen to the wind and rain, if they are in a hurry to get rid of the prisoner of war and attack Jinling, I will collect the corpses for them."

That's all Shi Lei can do.

Some wars are the result of misunderstandings between individuals.

But for many more individuals, war has no choice.

can only be pushed forward and forward by the general trend...... Until, the horse leather shroud.

Xiao Shuo verified Shi Lei's determination, smiled with satisfaction, stood up without taking a sip of water, and stretched out his hand towards Shi Lei.

“……”

Shi Lei blinked puzzledly, not understanding what Monarch Xiao meant.

"The list of generals, some are willing to surrender again, and Gu can give them a chance to survive."

Xiao Shuo smiled kindly.

But Shi Lei, who guessed his intentions, felt a little sorry for the brothers who were captured for the second time.

Sometimes, being alive is much more painful than dying in battle.

"I'm going to get ......"

As soon as Shi Lei's words were finished, a soldier guarding the city rushed into the lobby with a roar.

"Oh no, my lord! The prisoners of war in Western Chu have declared war on us! ”

Shi Lei stumbled on the ground and almost fell.

He hurriedly walked out of the lobby and stood in the empty courtyard and looked to the west.

Wolf smoke has risen from the battlements of the city walls.

There was no turning back from the bow.

He couldn't save his former brothers.

"According to Monarch Xiao's footsteps, it was only an hour to rush from Chuxian to Jinling...... These people are really anxious. ”
