Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi returned to Lingwu with the remnants of the defeated army.

Emperor Yu Su was furious!

But the second general is the pillar of the country, and he is not good to blame too much.

"Your Majesty, the failure to recover Luoyang this time is entirely due to the underestimation of the enemy by the ministers. Please please condemn your ministers and others!" The second general knelt down and said.

The young Emperor Yu Su exhaled a long breath: "The two Aiqing did not hesitate to risk the arrows and stones to destroy the fierce rebellion in order to protect the society, which is really a great achievement. Victory and defeat are common in soldiers, and if I blame you and others instead of rewarding them, it will seem that I do not know it."

A few words, soft and thorny, for a while the two generals did not know how to respond.

A short-bearded civil official next to him waved to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, since you have opened the golden mouth, why don't you reward the two generals just like this?"

When the two looked at it, the person who spoke was Du Shimei, the newly sealed official of the relic.

The two of them immediately felt grateful to him.

Emperor Yu Su just casually said "reward", but he didn't expect to be invisibly commanded by Du Shimei.

There are hundreds of civil and military officials standing around, and if you regret it at this time, it will be too ugly.

Now that the court is in turmoil, repentance is to chill the hearts of the ministers.

"Since I have said it, I will naturally say that I will not regret it. Come on, the two generals have worked hard, reward!"

Emperor Yu Su rewarded the two with a lot of gold and silver wealth, and the two generals thanked them.

Afternoon. Du Shimei's mansion.

"Lord Du is arguing for me in the court today, and the old man is grateful. I wanted to come with General Li, but I was afraid that others would say that we were forming a party for personal gain, so I had to come alone. General Lee also said that he will come back tomorrow to thank you."

Du Shimei smiled, "Old General Guo is very polite. It's just a trivial matter, so why worry about it. Now that my country has risen a little, it's all about the general!"

Guo Zi smiled bitterly, "I'm ashamed. Unexpectedly, Shi Xue'an would come to the rescue. He suffered a big loss in Changning before, and we all thought that he would collapse, but unexpectedly, he would make a long run to rescue Luoyang......

His words were quite uneasy.

"Young people, lucky wins, in the end, it will be difficult to escape the curse, and the old general doesn't have to care too much."

Du Shimei said slowly while adding tea to Guo Zimi.

Guo Zi sighed, nodded, picked up the teacup and blew it, and took a sip slowly. …………

Reverse Cliff State. Lu Shan.

Lu Yuan's eyebrows were tightly locked, and his eyes were like torches.

In the conference hall, everyone was silent, and the atmosphere was dull.

After a long time, Liu Qianqian's baby voice suddenly sounded, which seemed a little out of place.

"Shall we go to the Taoist Master and use the Heavenly Eye Technique to divinate the whereabouts of that thing?"

Gui Li said, "I have invited a few Taoist masters earlier. That shield is worthy of being an artifact, and it can actually cut off the search for divination and occultism on its own. No one knows where the shield is now."

Zhou Wanzhi paced slowly: "The clue that I finally found was broken like this, it's a pity."

General Monkey said, "At this juncture, how can the shield be lost? Did someone steal it?"

As soon as he said this, everyone laughed.

General Monkey immediately came to his senses, scratched his head and laughed, "Although I used to like to make small moves, we haven't picked up this old business for a long time."

There are many people here who have learned the Monkey General's snitch skills before, so everyone will laugh when they talk about it.

Lu Yuan frowned slightly and said, "When General Monkey said this, he reminded me. Maybe it's a possibility."

Guili asked, "Who would have the audacity to steal an artifact?"

Liu Qianqian immediately said, "Who else can there be? Shi Xue'an!"

Everyone immediately talked about it.

Lu Yuan said, "General Monkey just said that the artifact was stolen, and the first thing that came to my mind was also a stone thief. But I don't know how he got it."

Zhou Wanzhi said, "Did the two uncles send relevant information?"

"Not yet," Lu Yuan said

"No matter what tricks that old thief plays, we must not relax in our preparations!" ……

After several battles, the pattern has also undergone a lot of changes.

After Ning Fuhai's death, his son Ning Qingxu relied on the family funds saved by his father to withstand several waves of Yu army attacks with the help of foreign troops. Although its sphere of influence has shrunk, its core has not yet lost its dominance.

Shixuean still occupies nearly half of Suiyang. After the main force of the Yu army attacked Ning Qingxu, the offensive against Suiyang weakened, so they were able to survive.

The Dayu royal family gained a firm foothold in Ningwu in the north. After recovering Changning, they have already begun to return the capital here. Although the offensive to defeat the rebels has been suppressed, the overall situation is still improving.

Several forces were gathering strength, and no one took action easily for a while.

But the undercurrent is constantly surging behind it.

Suddenly, one day, an explosive news came from the dark pile in Luoyang:

Shi Xue'an led the army to attack Luoyang, took the city with lightning speed, and killed Ning Qingxu!!

The imperial court was both happy and worried about this news.

The good thing is that the two thieves attacked each other, and now there is only one left.

The worry is that the stone thieves are likely to take advantage of the morale boost to attack Changning near Luoyang!

Within two days, the documents asking for help had already arrived in Lushan.

Lu Yuan summoned everyone: "If we don't come to the rescue, Changning will probably change hands again. But if we go, Lushan's garrison will be weakened again. What do you think?"

Everyone discussed for a while and expressed their opinions.

After a period of discussion, Lu Yuan said, "Lushan is our foothold, and we must not lose it. Bing, we won't be out this time. However, this is not far from Changning, and we have gathered our heavy forces to the northern border of Lushan, which is close to Changning. At the same time, we have raised the preparation level to the highest level, so that in case of an emergency, the rescue will be more timely."

Everybody says it's a surefire solution.

Emperor Yu Su of the north received Lu Yuan's reply, and his face twitched, and his face was not very good-looking.

He asked his attendants to give the letter to everyone, and the ministers immediately talked about it.

Many people immediately accused Lu Yuan of not relieving the national disaster and being unjust.

Du Shimei sneered and said to those people, "Lu Immortal Master turned into an outsider, so he didn't care much about the matter of Hongchen. He helped us before, which is considered love, even if he doesn't help, it is also his duty. Ladies and gentlemen, you have made military merits but have been rewarded by the emperor, and Lu Xianshi has made great contributions to the recovery of Changning, but he does not seek fame, and he does not seek profit, and refuses any reward. Don't you think it's ridiculous that you are asking him so much now?"

One of the ministers shouted, "Lu Shan's forces are in the south of Changning, he doesn't help us, if one day he suddenly turns his face and doesn't recognize people, and attacks us in turn, then who will be responsible?"

Du Shimei said proudly: "General Liu can be said to be a gentleman with the heart of a villain. I have a relationship with Lu Xianshi, so I naturally know who he is. Why did he attack Changning?"

Another general Wang said angrily, "The shore of the land is not the king's minister. Since he, Lu Yuan, is within my great danger, he has to obey the orders of my emperor. If you disobey the order, it will be a rebellion, and you should be punished by the Nine Clans!"

"Hahahaha!" Du Shimei raised her head and laughed, "General Wang, do you think that even if we convict Immortal Master Lu of rebellion, he will obediently tie his hands and arrest him? Take 10,000 steps back and say, who can beat him in the Great Yu?"

Emperor Yu Su naturally knew how powerful Lu Yuan was, and he even heard that Lu Yuan had evaporated a city from the ground in an instant.

Hearing Du Shimei's words, I thought it was true.

A bead of sweat the size of a bean slipped down his cheek.
