In the eyes of the people, the palace should be full of gold and jade, but there are still some places in the palace of the Dayu Dynasty that are no different from the usual rooms.

And the Imperial Study is such an existence. The furnishings of the imperial study are basically the same as those of ordinary eunuchs, and a bookcase made of a whole yellow pear is placed in the middle of the imperial study.

Behind the bookcase is a chair also made of huanghuali, which seems to have a very simple structure, but the handle of the chair is carved with dragons and auspicious clouds.

The backrest of the chair is carved into a pattern of three mountains and five mountains. Behind this chair is a large screen carved out of nanmu.

This screen is written with gold lacquer: high merit and ambition, industry is wide and diligent, the first incorruptible thing, all countries Xianning, only the heavens are smart, only the holy time, only the ministers are Qinruo, only the people are righteous, the gentleman is the gentleman, the four directions are the rules, the people are philosophers, and the people are beneficial.

On the top of the screen is a huge plaque, and the gold characters on the red background of the plaque are written in large characters: Confluence Chengjian.

At this time, Emperor Shengheng was sitting on the dragon chair in the imperial study, and under the bookcase was standing Nansi Sizheng Song Shunming.

"Your Majesty, the grassland barbarians raided our dock in Bianzhou two days ago and snatched a large number of warships. Emperor Shengheng was holding a book in his hand and reading it with relish, and he didn't react at all to the situation reported by Song Shunming.

After Song Shunming finished his report, he remained on his knees and remained motionless, waiting for Emperor Shengheng's instructions.

"Put in a wolf to bite a vicious dog, and I don't know if the wolf is defeated or the dog is killed?" Emperor Shengheng put the fold in his hand back into the bookcase, and then took the pen covered with cinnabar and wrote one in small block letters at the back of the fold

The word "may".

"Your Majesty, whether the wolf is defeated or the dog is dead, it is a good thing for the master's family." Song Shunming, who was kneeling, lowered his head and said.

"It makes sense, no matter who wins or loses, I won't lose." After Emperor Shengheng closed the book, he took out another book from the corner of the bookcase, opened it and continued to review it.

"By the way, what is the reaction of those feudal towns and feudal states on both sides of the Bianshui River now?" Emperor Shengheng asked as he reviewed the folds.

"Now the feudal towns and feudal states on both sides of the Bianshui River have maintained a wait-and-see attitude, and all of them are unable to bear the burden of being born, for fear that one bad will annoy those steppe barbarians, and lead him to attack him after he goes ashore."

"These guys really can't even compare to a guard dog, and everyone else has passed by their door, but no one dares to bark." Emperor Shengheng's words seemed to be blaming these feudal towns and feudal states, but there was not the slightest dissatisfaction in his tone.

"Your Majesty, the feudal towns and feudal states on both sides of the river have already sent a large number of soldiers and horses to defend the imperial capital near the imperial capital, if they dare to draw troops to stop those steppe barbarians now." Song Shunming knew very well that Emperor Shengheng did not mean to blame these feudal towns and feudal states that did not react at all.

On the contrary, if someone dared to send troops to obstruct these steppe tribes now, he would be angry. While this may seem counterintuitive, it actually makes perfect sense.

First of all, Emperor Shengheng had already issued an edict before the invasion of the grassland tribes, asking the feudal towns and vassal kings of the world to send soldiers and horses to assist the defenders of the border fortress to block the attack of the grassland tribes.

And when the army of the grassland tribe conquered the three border counties, the army of the feudal town and the army of the feudal king were transferred to the vicinity of the imperial capital by an edict.

If there are still feudal towns or vassal states that can send other armies against the tens of thousands of steppe armies heading south, it means that they have violated the laws of the Dayu Dynasty and have more than the norm in the past.

This is not only a crime of deception, but also can be regarded as harboring evil intentions and suspicion of plotting evil. This was an extremely unstable and unexpected factor for the emperor that could cause problems at any time.

And the best way to deal with this unexpected factor is to erase it. But in the Dayu Dynasty, no one who can be a festival envoy or a vassal king is a fool.

They were also very aware of this, so the feudal towns and feudal states on both sides of the Bianshui River did not react at all.

This is why the king of Yue did not dare to send the remaining Junzi army to Anzhou to hunt down Li Yi and others after learning that his two sons had been killed, but instead took great pains to draw men from the army that went north to besiege the imperial capital.

In addition, Emperor Shengheng did not want an accident in the grassland tribe before the grassland tribe did not complete the expected goal of Emperor Shengheng.

He must now see the wolf and the dog fight thoroughly so that he can rest easy.

"How's things going in the South?" Emperor Shengheng did not inquire about the specific situation of the feudal towns and feudal states on both sides of Bianshui, he directly asked Song Shunming about the situation in the south.

"Things in the south have been arranged, and everything is ready, only the east wind is owed." Song Shunming felt that his waist began to ache because he had kneeling for too long, but he still didn't dare to move in the slightest.

He still tried to stay on his knees.

"Really? But you're sure. Emperor Shengheng was still looking down at the table at this time, and said softly.

But Song Shunming, who was kneeling, suddenly shook as if he had been struck by lightning, and his originally sore waist immediately straightened.

At the same time, beads of sweat the size of beans kept oozing from his forehead. As a person who has been serving Emperor Shengheng all the year round, he still knows Shengheng very well.

Sometimes the more angry their majesty is, the more he will try to restrain himself, and show that he doesn't care, but in fact, his heart is completely angry.

Once his next answer does not satisfy Emperor Shengheng, then his final outcome will definitely be very miserable.

So Song Shunming has been trying hard to restrain his fears, and at the same time, his brain is also running rapidly.

He kept wondering if there was something wrong with what he had just said.

"Please also ask Your Majesty for forgiveness." In just a short moment, Song Shunming roughly guessed why Emperor Shengheng was angry.

"Humph! Xiao Song, as the Si Zheng of Nansi, there are some things that you must take care of for me.

Saying that, Emperor Shengheng waved his hand without raising his head, and Song Shunming, who was kneeling on the ground, immediately kowtowed to Emperor Shengheng, then bent down and got up, and slowly withdrew from the imperial study. It wasn't until long after walking out of the imperial study that Emperor Shengheng raised his head and looked at Song Shunming, who had already gone away, and said slowly.

"Sometimes, after being a dog for a long time, some dogs always think about whether they can be human." Emperor Shengheng's voice was like a wind blowing on an iceberg for ten thousand years, making people shudder.

"Does Your Majesty need us to make a move on Song Shunming?" Suddenly, a hoarse voice came from a corner of the study.

The sound was as unbearable as two broken gongs.

"Not yet, you just need to keep a close eye on him." Emperor Shengheng shook his head and continued to correct the folds, while the figure disappeared into the imperial study.

On the second day, when the purple-red clouds on the horizon of the sky appeared, Mu Hua Li Falcon had already walked out of the cabin of the ship.

He looked a little pale today, and his lips were equally pale. I saw him staggering to the edge of the deck of the ship, and he slowly bent down and sat on the bow of the ship, quietly looking at the place where the clouds were shining.

After a night of turbulence last night, Muhua Li Falcon, who was originally in excellent health, has also been tortured by seasickness and lost his former sharpness.

Last night, when Mu Huali was lying on the wooden bed in the cabin, he felt that the whole world was shaking back and forth, and the feeling of the world spinning made him unable to sleep at all.

So he basically didn't close his eyes last night, and he had vomited so much that he almost didn't vomit his bile out during the night.

"It seems that the cavalry of the steppe branch is not suitable for galloping on the big rivers and even the sea, this is not something that can be done overnight." Mu Hua Li Falcon shook his dizzy head and muttered to himself.

Because of inhaling a lot of cold air, the original feeling of nausea and dizziness finally subsided a lot. At this time, Muhua Li Falcon had the heart to take a look at the red sun rising in the Dayu Dynasty.

The purple of the sky began to fade until it finally turned orange-red, and the mountains that had been hidden in the darkness began to slowly fade from black to a lighter dark green.

Watching the sun rise little by little, watching the whole earth recede its black coat, watching the golden morning light spread over the entire earth, Mu Hua Li Falcon has a surging passion.

The original languishing appearance has finally been swept away.

"Shaman, you wake up so early!" A voice came from behind Mu Hua Li Falcon, and Murong Tong trotted to Mu Hua Li Falcon's side with a flattering face.

"I didn't expect King Tugu to get up so early!" Muhua Li Falcon still likes Murong Tongwei very much.

"Hey, don't mention it, Lord Shaman, I was shaken by this ship several times last night, and I felt like my soul was about to fly away." Murong Tongwei sat down beside Mu Hua Li Falcon.

Mu Hua Li Falcon smiled bitterly and looked at Murong Tongwei. Although this Murong Tongwei said that he had vomited several times at night, Mu Hua Li Falcon could not see that feeling of weakness on his body.

Therefore, he couldn't help but wonder if this guy vomited because he ate too much food last night.

"By the way, Lord Shaman, have we entered the Huaishui at this time?" Murong Tong saw Mu Hua Li Falcon looking at him, and couldn't help scratching his head embarrassedly, putting on a somewhat naïve appearance.

"Yes, we have already left Bianshui and entered Huaishui at this time." Mu Huali sat cross-legged on the bow of the boat and pointed to the river in the distance.

"This Huai water is much wider than the Bianshui, and the water flow is clearer than the Huai water." Murong Tong stretched out his head slightly and looked at Huaishui for a while before speaking.

"Yes, of course, it depends on Bianshui in the north, because of the lack of precipitation in the north, the soil quality is poor, so there will be a large amount of soil and sand and gravel on both sides of the Bianshui that will be washed into the Bianshui, causing the Bianshui to look a little yellow." Seeing that there was nothing to do at this time, Mu Hua Li Falcon simply began to explain to Murong Tongwei.

"Shaman, now we follow this Huaishui all the way down the direction does not seem to be the west, I heard my father say when I was a child that the Huaishui, the Yangtze River, and the Yellow River of the Dayu Dynasty all ran from west to east." Although Murong Tongwei had already guessed the destination of Muhua Li Falcon's raid at this time, he still said tentatively.

"It seems that the old Tugu King had high hopes for you back then, but it's a pity!" Mu Hua Li Falcon said with a long sigh.

"That's right, we are not attacking the imperial capital of the Dayu Dynasty this time, our goal this time is to go south." Mu Hua Li Falcon thought for a while, but still told Murong Tongwei the destination this time.

"I heard my father say that the imperial capital of the Dayu Dynasty is where the Dayu Emperor lives, and the beauties there are like clouds and treasures like rain, if you can enter the imperial capital of the Dayu Dynasty and plunder, then it will definitely make our Tugu clan rich for decades." Mu Hua Li Falcon still said innocently.

"But there is no emperor of the Great Yu Dynasty in the south of the Great Yu Dynasty, so wouldn't we be doing useless work when we go to the south?"

"Tongwei, then you don't know that although there is no Dayu Emperor in the south of the Dayu Dynasty, the richest place in the Dayu Dynasty is the south of the Dayu Dynasty, and the south is the anointed land of the Dayu Dynasty, where there are all kinds of rich businessmen and dignitaries." Mu Hua Li Falcon suddenly felt that it was a bit silly for him to say this to Murong Tongwei, and he felt that this Murong Tongwei could not understand his plan this time.

"That's it, what do you idiot know, at this time, the feudal towns and vassal states of the Dayu Dynasty have already dispatched most of their troops to resist Baye Gule and Yujiu Luying, and their entire south is now the time when the army is the most empty, when will we not rush at this time?" Wan Qiyue, who was full of beard, couldn't help but snort coldly and said.

"If the other party immediately transfers all those armies over now, won't we be dumplings made by others." Murong Tongwei's sentence was not deliberately pretending to be stupid.

He began to think seriously when he said this, and he also knew that this was the best opportunity to plunder the southern part of the Great Yu Dynasty, but once all the reinforcements of the Great Yu Dynasty withdrew and blocked their way back, these people would completely become dogs in a cage, and the final outcome would definitely be beaten to death by people.

That's why he deliberately reminded Mu Huali Falcon. But Mu Hua Li Falcon only smiled at this, as if it was all in his calculations.

Looking at Muhua Li Falcon's confident appearance, Murong Tongwei immediately thought of this Mu Hua Li Falcon, I am afraid that he had already thought of a way out before going south.

"A herd of sheep, no matter how powerful they are, can't kill a wolf, our grassland tribe army is tens of thousands, and their ivory besieging us is simply a fool's dream." Wan Qi Yuele, who had a more violent temper, immediately said.

In this regard, Mu Hua Li Falcon and Murong Tongwei couldn't help but be slightly shocked, they didn't expect Wan Qi Yuele, who had always shown himself as a reckless man on weekdays, to say such a reasonable thing.

"You don't have to worry about the retreat, what you should worry about now is how we can get more gold and silver treasures from the cunning Dayu people next, and at the same time, you also have to consider whether you should make up for your waist."
