Chapter 221 0221 Assassination in the open
Zuo Xin didn't want to blame at this time, his mind was all about whether to withdraw the troops or not. After reading the letter, Empress Dowager Lan stared at Zuo Xin's anxious appearance, muttered for a long time, and said, "Withdraw." ”
"Withdrawn?" Zuo Xin got a definite answer, but he wavered again.
"But it's not," Empress Dowager Lan sneered, "Zhizi Mo Ruomu, the mourning family knows that you are planning to withdraw when they look at you like that." The mourning family said to withdraw, isn't it just what you want? ”
When Zuo Xin heard this, his ears were hot, and he said: "Erchen just thinks that he has made so many efforts before, and even sacrificed Mei'er, just to maintain the peace of Dongxia and Xiqiang, in exchange for time to recuperate. But now, in order to withdraw the troops, this matter is against his will, and the war breaks out, isn't it just the right opportunity for Nighthawk to take advantage of it, so that he can make a profit and succeed more easily? ”
"Well," Empress Dowager Lan smiled slightly, "there is some truth to this. Since the emperor has thought it through, there is no need to come to ask the mourning family, you have been in power for a few years, you should learn to make your own decisions! ”
Empress Dowager Lan stared at Zuo Xin, in fact, there were times when even she couldn't figure out the temperament of this biological son. Sometimes, Zuo Xin was so cowardly that everyone wanted to kick him; But sometimes, Zuo Xin is resolute and violent and terrifying, which makes people's hearts chill.
Perhaps, cowardly people have been oppressed for a long time in ordinary times, and the pent-up anger will explode particularly vividly. For example, on the issue of dealing with the remnants of Beiyi, he has two diametrically opposite attitudes to Xiqiang, and is at the two extremes of the scale.
"Since this is the case, the minister will order the withdrawal of troops." Zuo Xin said respectfully.
"Yes, but are you really going to let him go?" A hint of fierceness flashed in Empress Dowager Lan's eyes, "Will his presence reassure you?" ”
"Of course not!" Zuo Xin said frankly, "The withdrawal of troops is just for Ma Teng to see." After withdrawing the troops, I will secretly send the Ouchi master to lie dormant in the Tianmu Mountain, waiting for an opportunity to move. I don't believe that Nighthawk can hide in the vast mountains of heaven and never come out for a lifetime. If he had that ambition, he would definitely have to get out of the vast mountains, and it would be impossible for him to hide for the rest of his life. As soon as he comes out, the Ouchi master can kill him. ”
Empress Dowager Lan nodded: "This is a good way." It's just that I heard that the Nighthawk's martial arts are superb, and the selection of this master needs to be cautious. Alas, if the nighthawk is not removed for a day, the mourning family will not be able to sit in peace for a day. ”
Zuo Xin said solemnly: "Don't worry, the people I sent will not disappoint the queen." If the nighthawk is not removed for a day, I will not be able to sleep and eat! ”
So, a few days later, after the holy decree was issued, Luo Yi asked the class teacher to return to the court. Before leaving, Nighthawk sneaked into Langhuan Cave to meet Luo Yi when the moon was dark and the wind was high, and they talked about some things secretly.
When Luo Yi led his troops to evacuate, 100,000 soldiers and horses were walking down the Tianmang Mountain one after another. The birds and beasts of the entire Tianmao Mountain also jumped up and down because of such a large migration, and they were extremely uneasy.
Suddenly, a dragon quickly burst out of a thick fog with lightning speed, churning over the vast mountain, one time into the clouds, and the other deep into the sea of fog. The golden scales glittered, brightening the gray sky.
"Ah, dragon! Look, there's a dragon there! ”
"Oh my God, what a dragon!"
"Really, it's a dragon! Here, how can there be a dragon? ”
……
There were incredulous exclamations of admiration from the army......
