"Behind the barbarians, there is actually the Heavenly Witch Clan!"

Lu Zihong's expression was solemn.

Bai Siwei's confession mentioned that not long ago, when the killer of the Bloody Cloak Building was on a mission on the Yeqi Grassland, he met the Tianwu people who were supposed to live on the Tianwu Grassland north of the Yeqi Grassland.

And the high-level barbarians of the Yeqi Grassland were respectful to the Tianwu people, like subordinates.

And after that, the killer saw several barbarian tribes gathering iron horses to the south, and it seemed that they were going south.

This also caused the killer not to even dare to continue to complete the task, and hurriedly fled back to the Youlan Sect and reported the news to Bai Siwei.

Bai Siwei originally didn't believe it, but when he questioned Yan Fufeng, who was one of the henchmen of the Bloody Mansion Lord's entourage, Yan Fufeng was silent, which made Bai Siwei sure that the one standing behind the barbarian was the Tianwu Clan.

As for the information about the Tianwu Clan, Lu Zihong had seen a little bit in the royal collection of the Northern Qin Kingdom before.

Although it is not detailed, it is also mentioned that the strength of the Tianwu clan is strong and not under ordinary dynasties.

Even they fought in the Tianwu Grassland and the dynasties of Wuzhou and Jianzhou all the year round, and they won more and lost less!

This shows the strength of the Heavenly Witch Clan.

However, according to the records of the royal collection, the Tianwu clan did not look down on the barren Beizhou at all, and only wanted to seize a piece of resource-rich land in Wuzhou and Jianzhou to make their clan stronger, so they would fight against Wuzhou and the Jianzhou dynasty all year round.

But now, how could the Tianwu Clan, who had always looked down on Beizhou, suddenly stand behind the barbarians of the Yeqi Grassland and invade Beizhou?

"Ding, it has been detected that the host has learned the information that the Heavenly Witch Clan is heading south, and has completed the hidden mission: the first time I heard the hostility of the Heavenly Witch."

"Ding, congratulations to the host for getting the hidden quest reward: a special treasure chest."

Just when Lu Zihong was curious, the prompt sound of the system suddenly sounded.

This made Lu Zihong stunned.

He has already completed the hidden task just by knowing the news of the Heavenly Witch Clan's back from the barbarians?

Should I say that I was lucky, or should I say that the strength of the Wu Clan is strong this day, and the hidden mission can be triggered by a slight touch?

Lu Zihong frowned, if it was the former, it would be fine, but if it was the latter, then this time it would be a big trouble.

After all, the Northern Qin Kingdom has to face the super power of the Northern Prefecture with the Blood Cloak Building, and now if you add this Tianwu Clan, which is no less than any dynasty, the pressure is not ordinary!

After a little muttering, Lu Zihong did not immediately open the special treasure chest, but said to the Jinyi Guard: "Call Xu Gong to see me." ”

Xu Gong is a thousand households in Jinyi, and he has the strength of the mid-stage peak of the Innate Xuan Statue Realm.

After Yu Kezhi was sent to the Jiaoyan Dynasty, Xu Gong was in charge of the Jinyi Guard by Lu Zihong's side.

Soon, Xu Gong got the news and rushed to the study to meet Lu Zihong.

Lu Zihong looked at Xu Gong and asked, "Is there any news that Jinyi Wei has sent back to the Yeqi grassland?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, it has been five days since the last news from the spies on the Yelan Prairie, and I have asked many people to contact them in the past five days, but I have not received any reply." Xu Gong lowered his head and replied, "A few days ago, I sent more spies into the Yeqi Grassland, but there is no news yet. ”

Lu Zihong's face was ugly when he heard this.

Jin Yiwei has its own rules, except for the kind of spies who are hidden in the dark, the rest of the spies who go out on a mission must return every once in a while.

If there is no news for a long time, something must be wrong.

After passing through the Jinyi Guard Cultivation Improvement Card used by Lu Zihong before, the strength of the Jinyi Guard soldiers has improved well, and with the strength of those small barbarian tribes close to the Northern Qin Kingdom, it is difficult to keep them.

Now that they have an accident, most of them have something to do with the Tianwu clan mentioned by Bai Siwei.

And this also proves from the side that the Tianwu Clan has completely intervened in the war between the barbarians and the Northern Qin Kingdom.

The biggest reason why they killed the Jinyi Guard spies was that they were unwilling to let the Northern Qin Kingdom know the traces of their barbarian iron cavalry, so as to achieve the purpose of the iron cavalry raiding the border.

And it is very likely that the Barbarian Iron Cavalry is not far from the northern border!

Thinking of this, Lu Zihong looked at Xu Gong and asked, "How far is Zhao Yun's army from Yuntong Pass?" ”

Yuntong Pass, the northern border pass is a heavy city.

It is the only place for the large-scale army and merchants of the Northern Qin Kingdom to pass through the Yeqi Grassland, and it is also the border city with the strongest defense in the Northern Qin Kingdom.

Previously, most of the troops of Lu Yanwu's Northern Legion were stationed here, and relied on the fortified city and the large protective array above to defeat the large-scale invasion of the barbarian iron cavalry on the Yeqi grassland many times.

This city is very important to the Northern Qin Kingdom!

"Back to Your Majesty, General Zhao Yun came to the news a day ago that the Eastern Territory Army led by him is still a day and a half away from Yuntong Pass." Xu Gong replied.

"In other words, now the army under his command is only half a day's journey away from Yuntong Pass."

Lu Zihong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

As long as Zhao Yun arrives at Yuntong Pass, relying on the city wall and the large array of city guards and Zhao Yun's military array, as long as it is not a warrior above the middle stage of the Tianwu Clan's Dan Realm, it is enough to ensure that Yuntong Pass is not lost.

Thinking of this, Lu Zihong immediately ordered: "Send an order to all the Jinyi guards inside and outside the northern territory, so that they can find out the movements of the barbarian iron cavalry at all costs, and at the same time send an order to Zhao Yun to tell him the news that the barbarian iron cavalry has gone south, and let him lead the army to Yuntong Pass as quickly as possible." ”

"Yes!"

Xu Gong immediately received the order.

After Lu Zihong hesitated for a moment, he immediately took out the secret letter on the desk and wrote it.

He had to give three orders.

The first order was to pass an order to Jia Xu, asking him to temporarily hand over the government affairs in his hand to Meng Pingjin, the secretary of the ministry, while he himself went to Yuntong Pass.

Because Lu Zihong knew very well that if the Tianwu Clan was really instructing the barbarian iron cavalry to invade Beizhou as Bai Siwei said, then the Northern Qin Kingdom would bear the brunt.

In the northern border of the Northern Qin Kingdom, except for Yuntong Pass, several other passes are not the only way for the barbarian iron cavalry to go south.

Therefore, if you want to resist the barbarians, or the Tianwu clan behind the barbarians, you must have Yuntong Pass as a defensive foundation!

Therefore, Lu Zihong is very urgent to need Jia Xu, a poisoner, to give advice.

As for government affairs, there are Jinyi guards staring at those courtiers in the court, and those people can't make too many waves in a short period of time, and they don't dare to do anything secretly, so it is also feasible to hand it over to Meng Pingjin for the time being.

But only temporarily.

Because the four parts of the Northern Qin Kingdom have not yet been completely pacified, some families and officials who were already watching are panicking after Lu Yanwu's defeat.

At this time, if they are aware of the barbarian invasion, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not take the opportunity to make some moves in the shadows.

The family in the world is one, and they have a great relationship with the courtiers, and Meng Ping, as an important minister in the court, whether he wants to or not, also has a complicated relationship with these officials.

Under such circumstances, it was impossible for Lu Zihong to completely hand over the internal affairs of the Northern Qin Kingdom to Meng Pingjin.

So, there was Lu Zihong's second order.
