It's night, Haoyuan Palace.

Seeing the ancient envoy leave the hall with his head held high and angry, the ancient courtiers in the hall had ugly faces, but they didn't dare to say anything.

It wasn't until more than 100 breaths later that a civil official opened his mouth with an annoyed face.

"Your Majesty, all this is caused by the rebellion on that battleship! If it weren't for them, how could the Ancient Emperor Dynasty put forward such harsh conditions, and how could I put the Haoyuan Dynasty in a difficult situation? ”

"Originally, anyone with a discerning eye could see what the situation was, and the Ancient Emperor would not turn against us. But the matter of the warship completely put us on the fire rack, and we can't argue even if we are justified! ”

"Therefore, Your Majesty, you must order that the people on that battleship and their nine clans will all be killed, one will punish their crimes, and the other will also make an example of them, so that those who are controlled by other forces will know the fate of betraying my Haoyuan!"

The people of the Ancient Emperor Dynasty suspected that the two sudden changes were caused by the Haoyuan Dynasty, but as the ruling class of the Haoyuan Dynasty, the people in the palace knew what the truth was.

Therefore, almost all of them were full of resentment at the soldiers on their own warship that had destroyed the Aragu Cruiser, believing that those bastards had brought them a great calamity, and how could they appease their anger without killing?

On the throne, Yuan Shimao's face was also pale, but he did not immediately respond to the words of the civil official, but raised his eyes to stare at General Mo Gang.

Mo Gang glanced at the ministers in the hall expressionlessly, and then saluted respectfully towards Yuan Shimao.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the people of the Ancient Emperor Dynasty are so eager to enter the palace to protest and make trouble, and even put forward five conditions that are more stringent than the other, but it exposes their weakness and proves the authenticity of that information from the side!"

Yuan Shimao narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"Your Majesty, they are clearly buying time to dispel our vigilance!"

"Think about it, under normal circumstances, such a big event happened, so why did the people of the Ancient Emperor Dynasty have to find conclusive evidence before they could make trouble? Moreover, this kind of major event, the ancient monarch also needs a certain amount of time to discuss how to deal with it. ”

"But how long has it been since the battleship happened? How could they be so impatient? ”

"Strange things, there must be a conspiracy behind the scenes!"

"So, the minister thinks that they are clearly covering their ears and stealing the bell!"

"If they don't send people here, then my Haoyuan Dynasty will definitely strengthen its defenses and mobilize troops and horses from all sides to deal with it, even if it is worried that Huanggu may directly raise troops to counterattack."

"But now they have sent people quickly, and put forward such a harsh five conditions, obviously to dispel our vigilance, and make us think that they will not send troops to our Haoyuan Dynasty. That's what they're really for! ”

"Your Majesty! I hope you will be skilled! ”

After listening to Mo Gang's analysis, the other ministers couldn't help but look confused, because they didn't know the inside story, and they didn't know what the information Mo Gang was talking about.

Yuan Shimao's face was cold, his eyes were uncertain, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

At this time, an official with a wrinkled head suddenly retreated from the side, but after a dozen breaths, he quickly returned.

In this regard, the people in the hall did not show any discoloration, because this person was Qiao Xu, the master of the Qingyun Guard, who could go out of the palace to receive urgent information when necessary.

"Your Majesty, I just got a secret report that the Great Xia Dynasty has some kind of secret weapon that can pose a mortal threat to the Desolate Ancient Army, which is why Great Xia dares to deal with the Desolate Ancient Expeditionary Force with only two major legions!"

"As for what that secret weapon is, it's not yet known."

"In addition, the intelligence also shows that the people of the Ancient Emperor Dynasty seem to have learned of this information as well."

"Therefore, the minister guesses that the reason why the Ancient Emperor Dynasty sent someone to threaten me Haoyuan, instead of directly turning his face and starting a war, also has a lot to do with this intelligence."

"Huang Gu wants to concentrate all his efforts to solve Great Xia first, they don't want to make trouble for the time being!"

When he said the last sentence, Qiao Xu glanced at Mo Gang with an inexplicable expression.

Yuan Shimao's eyes flashed slightly, and he squinted and did not speak.

Mo Gang frowned, and said urgently: "Your Majesty! In any case, it's better to prevent than not to prevent at all! Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years! ”

"Even if it's just in case, once it really happens, it will be a situation where the sky will fall apart, and it will be too late to regret it!"

Yuan Shimao's heart was shocked, and after being silent for a while, he waved his hand.

"The general stays, and everyone else retreats."

"Yes! The ministers retired. ”

The ministers glanced at Mo Gang with different expressions, and then left one after another.

When the door of the hall was closed and Mo Gang was the only one left in the hall, Yuan Shimao got up and walked towards the ninth-level jade staircase.

"General, tell me honestly, did you instigate the battleship incident? Rest assured, I will forgive you for your innocence. ”

Mo Gang's face changed slightly, and he bowed deeply to Yuan Shimao, who was standing in front of him.

"Your Majesty! This matter has absolutely nothing to do with the minister! Swear! ”

Yuan Shimao took a deep look at Mo Gang and paced behind Mo Gang.

"There's no best, and even if there is, it's okay. You are my Haoyuan's general, my most trusted arm, and I believe that everything you do is my Haoyuan's good. ”

"Your Majesty......"

Mo Gang looked depressed and wanted to continue explaining, but was interrupted by Yuan Shimao waving his hand.

"Okay, let's not talk about it."

"You're right, everything, it's always good to be prepared, not to mention that this is still a matter of life and death for my Haoyuan."

Speaking of this, Yuan Shimao paused, and a heavy look appeared on his face.

"The Admiral thinks that if the Ancient Army really comes, we may survive to the end?"

"Absolutely!"

Mo Gang nodded without hesitation, with a firm expression.

"Your Majesty, Huanggu is currently fighting on two fronts, of which two million troops have been sent to Great Xia, and only two million are used to attack our country!"

"Although the army of the Ancient is strong, but two million, we can completely stop it! Even if they send reinforcements later, we can use space to buy time! ”

"If the war on the Aragu's side of Great Xia goes unfavorably, our pressure will be reduced a lot."

"Furthermore, it is impossible for other forces to remain indifferent, the Ancient Emperor Dynasty has invested a large number of troops in Great Xia and us, and the Cangying Emperor Dynasty, the Moro Emperor Dynasty, and even the Chunhua Holy Sect will definitely make moves."

"At that time, the greatest possibility is that the ancient army will be withdrawn! Because if they don't withdraw, they will lose their country! ”

"So, rest assured, Your Majesty, we will win in the end! My Haoyuan Dynasty will never fall! ”

Yuan Shimao nodded slowly, and his heavy face was a little lighter.

"In that case, then I will agree to your second request, let it go!"

Hearing this, Mo Gang suddenly looked shocked, and turned to stare at Yuan Shimao's back with surprise and joy.

His first request had already been agreed to by Yuan Shimao when he entered the palace during the day, and it was a strategy to secretly mobilize three elite armies to defend the imperial capital in case of accidents.

But the second request, Yuan Shimao did not agree to it before.

Because this request was a countermeasure he proposed after predicting the key attack targets of the Desolate Army, in order to carry out this one, it was necessary to mobilize most of the army.

The reason why Yuan Shimao did not agree was that he was worried that this would be too big and would cause an overreaction from the Ancient Emperor Dynasty.

Yuan Shimao turned around and looked at Mo Gang with an incredulous face and smiled.

"I'm old, but I'm not old yet. Although I still can't trust 100% of the information you say, I have to be cautious for the sake of the foundation of my Haoyuan Dynasty. ”

"If Huanggu really wants to swallow my Haoyuan, it is far from enough to solve the crisis of the imperial capital, we need to strike later!"

Mo Gang was overjoyed in his heart, and bowed deeply to Yuan Shimao with an excited face.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

"Alright, let's go and set it up. If it happens, we may not have enough time. ”

"Yes! Retire! ”

……

When the rooster crows, Cangmao Pavilion.

With the silent activities of powerful black shadows, the eyes and small armies arranged by the Haoyuan Dynasty to monitor the movements of the Desolate Ancient Army were constantly eliminated, and it was almost too late to make any noise before dying.

High in the sky, in the central room of a huge warship, Mu Haoqing was quietly waiting for something.

At this time, a young general suddenly ran over with an ugly face.

"Report! Qi Qi Mu Shuai, I just got a secret report, Haoyuan's army is moving! Especially several of our key attack targets, it seems that the main battle army of Haoyuan is rushing to! ”

Hearing this, the generals couldn't help but change their colors.

"How so? Could it be that our operational arrangements have been leaked? ”

"It can't be! There are only a few people in total who know the overall battle plan! Even we didn't know until half an hour ago! ”

"Perhaps, Haoyuan's people smelled something, and they were just in case?"

"Mu Shuai, what should I do? Do you want to continue? ”

Mu Haoqing's heart sank, and he sighed secretly.

After those two events, he realized that things might not have gone as smoothly as he had imagined.

Now, it seems, his fears have come true.

However, Mu Haoqing did not panic, but pointed to the battle map with an expressionless face.

"Mark the specific movements of the Haoyuan army."

"Yes!"

When the young general finished marking, the generals looked slightly relaxed.

"Looking at it like this, there should be no leaks of the operational arrangement. However, looking at their movements, we have already bet on our goal of 70 percent......"

"Mu Shuai, why don't you give up?"

"At this time, even if you want to give up, I'm afraid it's too late, and in some places, you've already started to do it......"

Listening to the generals' discussions, Mu Haoqing was also in a dilemma.

After thinking for a while, Mu Haoqing gritted his teeth suddenly, and his eyes became firm.

"There is no turning back from the bow! The army of the Haoyuan Dynasty has been at ease for a long time, and Ben Shuai doesn't believe how strong they can be! ”

"And as long as I can successfully take the Haoyuan Imperial Capital, even if there are problems in other aspects, the overall situation is still in me!"

"Pass the order, the plan remains the same!"

"As for the headquarters, immediately go west and take the Haoyuan Imperial Capital!"

"No!"
