At this time, Li Anyi, Xiao Shuyi, Lu Ningning, Chen Xi and several others gathered in the hall of a certain mansion, around a table that was larger than usual, and a map was placed on the table.

They were discussing which road to choose was more suitable and smooth to reach Ping'an County, after all, it had been said before that there was a Yongfeng County between Ping'an County and Anyi County, and Yongfeng County was entrenched in the Taiping Heavenly Army at this time.

Although Li Anyi and Xiao Shuyi thought that the combat effectiveness of the Pingyang Army and the Armor-Breaking Army was much higher than that of the so-called Taiping Heavenly Army, in the end, the Taiping Heavenly Army had more than five times the number of them, and the siege of the city was often much more than the loss of troops defending the city, so it was naturally impossible for them to have the plan to capture Yongfeng County first, and then go to Ping'an County.

Of course, not everyone has to go to Ping'an County, at least some soldiers must be left in this Anyi County, and they must wait until the imperial court sends people to re-establish order in Anyi County, otherwise Anyi County, which has finally improved a little, will be chaotic again.

"General, there is something very urgent to report!"

At this moment, an anxious voice interrupted the discussion.

Looking in the direction of the voice, it was the female senior officer of the Pingyang Army named Xiao Lu, at this time, she looked anxious.

"What's the matter?" , Xiao Shuyi asked.

"General, there is a secret report from the scouts in front, saying that the black-hearted tiger is going to lead 40,000 Taiping Heavenly Army to attack Anyi County." , The little green female officer said, with a little worry and anxiety between her eyebrows.

What!

As soon as these words came out, everyone was taken aback.

At the same time, there were more or less doubts in my heart, and I couldn't understand why the Taiping Heavenly Army suddenly came to Anyi County so aggressively.

You must know that Anyi County is just a small county town, and it has been washed by major floods, unlike Ping'an County, which has more grain, so it can be said that the current Anyi County basically has nothing, and it is not worth it at all.

In the end, it was Xiao Shuyi who reacted first, and ordered several orders at the first time.

"No matter what the purpose of those thieves of the Taiping Heavenly Army is, we must do these things well. First, let the soldiers outside retreat back to Anyi County, and let all the soldiers be vigilant; Second, send all the scouts to check nearby, and once you find the traces of the Taiping Heavenly Army, you must come to report it as soon as possible; Third, strengthen the city wall of Anyi County......"

"Yes! Checkmate! ", the little green female officer said respectfully.

Then, she retreated with a solemn face, but the worry and anxiety in it were gone, and Xiao Shuyi's series of arrangements made her inexplicably feel at ease.

Xiao Shuyi looked at everyone in the hall and said solemnly: "Everyone, I'm afraid we will face a sudden tough battle next, and the original plan will be changed. ”

Everyone present also nodded solemnly.

……

The capital, the palace, the palace of health.

"Yi'er, you must remember your father's words, you can't be strong, you must remember to protect yourself when you encounter danger, tomorrow Jinwu will set off for Lingzhou, you must hold on......"

Emperor Qi's eyes looked in the direction of Lingzhou, and there was a faint hint of worry.

"Your Majesty......"

At this moment, a soft voice rang in his ears.

Emperor Qi retracted his gaze, looked at the old eunuch Hai Gonggong, frowned slightly, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Gonggong Hai said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the Lord of Nihuang County asks to see you." ”

The Nihuang County Lord refers to the daughter of King Jing, that is, Xiao Yao, who has stayed in the capital and has not returned to Huai'an Mansion.

"Yao'er?"

A trace of confusion flashed in Emperor Qi's eyes, and then he said to Gonggong Hai, "Call her in." ”

So, after a while, Xiao Yao appeared in front of Emperor Qi's eyes.

"Your Majesty!" , Xiao Yao saluted Emperor Qi.

"Yao'er doesn't need to be polite." , Qi Huang smiled and looked at the niece in front of him, who was about the same age as his precious daughter.

He still loves Xiao Yao, a niece who is as wise as a demon, so he named her a Nihuang county lord, if it weren't for the etiquette, he would have wanted to give her the title of princess.

Then, Emperor Qi smiled and asked, "Yao'er, is there something wrong with coming to me?" ”

"Your Majesty, can you let the others retreat for the time being", Xiao Yao's eyes looked at the little eunuch and the little palace in the body cultivation hall.

Emperor Qi flashed a trace of confusion and curiosity, but in the end, he still made everyone except the old eunuch Hai Gonggong retreat.

Seeing this, Xiao Yao was not the kind of person who could talk nonsense, so he said directly: "Regarding the matter of Jin Wu's former guard going to Lingzhou tomorrow. ”

Emperor Qi was stunned, completely unaware of why, his brows subconsciously furrowed, and asked, "Yao'er, what do you mean by this?" Is there anything wrong? ”

"Your Majesty, it's best for the Jinwu guards to go to Lingzhou after the disaster ceremony, because there is a high chance that someone will do something to Your Majesty during the disaster ceremony", Xiao Yao said, her expression was very flat, as if she was talking about an insignificant little thing.

Hearing this, the old eunuch Hai Gonggong behind Emperor Qi took the lead in showing a nervous and vigilant look, and there was a dangerous light in his eyes, he valued the safety of Emperor Qi the most, more than his own life, if anyone dared to be unfavorable to Emperor Qi, he would not forgive.

However, Emperor Qi couldn't help but show a stunned look, and then laughed and said: "Yao'er, you are too worried, I am the emperor of Great Qi, who has the courage to do this in this big world is not good for me, besides, this is the capital, the capital of Great Qi, and there are still heavy guards of the Praetorian Guard at the disaster ceremony, so there will be nothing wrong." ”

Xiao Yao's expression remained unchanged, and she continued to say in a flat tone: "Your Majesty, what if the Praetorian Guards want to be unfavorable to Your Majesty?" ”

Emperor Qi was stunned again, then smiled dumbly and said, "Yao'er, if you think about this kind of thing, you know that this is impossible. ”

Xiao Shuyi said: "Once the guards of Jinwu leave the capital, only the Praetorian Guards are left in the capital, and everyone in the capital knows that the Wang family and King Xian wear the same pants, and the Wang family has many people in high positions in the Praetorian Guard, especially its young master Wang Rui, who must have been secretly attracting a lot of people, such a good opportunity is in front of him, and King Xian will not give up." ”

Emperor Qi was slightly silent for a while before he said, "I am his father after all, and I believe he will not do this." ”

Xiao Yao said: "King Xian is not Xiao Daolong, let alone Xiao Daoqi, he has an unparalleled dedication to that position, I believe that Your Majesty is also aware of this, ancient and modern exchanges, for that position, the son kills the father, the father kills the son, the brother kills the brother, and the brother kills the brother is not a few, the Xian King may not be so crazy, but it is still very possible to do some crazy things for that position." ”

Emperor Qi fell into silence again, this time for a much longer period of time.

"Yao'er, this is just your personal speculation."
