Looking at Nangong Wang's departing back, Ling Hu Ming's smiling face gradually sank, the death of Koro III made his original plan to get out of the way failed, Nangong Wang, this snake, and Zhongli Cháo, the wolf, have already confronted each other, no matter how they win or lose, they will point the finger at the Linghu family next. With such a haze, Ling Hu Ming walked to the desk and wrote in a hurry――――――――
And in the Zhongli family's mansion, Zhongli Cháo, who learned that Coro III had been assassinated, was furious, like a gambler who had lost all his chips, his eyes were red, and his elegant demeanor was gone, and he shouted, ready to gather the Didu Guards Legion to kill the Nangong Mansion directly. At this time, a man in a black sè cloak, led by Yu Wenji, entered through the back door, stopped Zhongli Cháo, who was rushing out, and dragged him into the study again.
The canopy slowly lifted, and a straight face met Zhongli Cháo's eyes. It was Murong Ao, the patriarch of the Murong family. He stared at Zhongli cháo with a surprised face, clasped his hands into fists and said calmly and forcefully: "Brother Zhongli, can you listen to a word from my brother." ”
Zhongli Cháo, who gradually subsided, was a little apprehensive for a moment, all along, he and Murong Ao had a good personal relationship, but it was only a greeting on the scene, not much friendship. Especially recently, Murong Ao claimed to be sick at home, and he was busy dealing with Nangong Wang, so he basically broke off contact. What is he here for? With this kind of question, Zhongli Cháo leaned slightly and asked Murong Ao to sit down, and then said with a little confusion: "Brother Murong, please advise." ”
Slightly sad, Murong Ao said with a little sad tone: "Don't hide it from my brother, my brother knows a little about what happened in the palace tonight, if my brother dares to move troops, I am afraid that it will be in the hands of the old thief of Nangong." ”
"Oh, what do you say?" Zhongli Cháo said in a shocked voice. He knew that Murong Ao had always had a problem with Nangong Wang, and he had also revealed in front of him many times that he wanted to deal with Nangong Wang, so he was not surprised that Murong Ao called Nangong Wang an old thief.
"Crowe City. Murong Ao tapped his fingers on the case and said: "If you rashly move troops, Cro City will raise troops in the name of supporting the emperor to quell the rebellion, and besides, the old thief of Nangong has dealt with us not once or twice, according to his Xing character, I am afraid that he would have already guarded against you, he pushed the boat along the river and took the opportunity to evacuate Didu, not only can he clear the suspicion, but also can bring the soldiers and horses of Cro City back to Didu justifiably." ”
Zhongli Cháo had completely calmed down at the moment, and he pondered the meaning of Murong Ao's words, and the more he pondered it, the more he felt that it made sense.
There was a smile on his face, and Murong said arrogantly: "Brother, my Murong family is in business, what is the surname of the empire, I don't care, brother, what I care about is the interests of our Murong family." ”
Gazing at his eyebrows, Zhongli Cháo promised without thinking: "Brother Murong, don't say anything else, just rely on the friendship between the two of us, as long as you help me, I will ensure that your Murong family will be prosperous for a thousand years." ”
"Good. With the words of the elder brother, the elder brother has the bottom in my heart, and now the key is Crowe City, as long as the elder brother's people accept the position of marshal, they are still afraid that the old thief of Nangong will turn over the sky. After saying that, he stood up and whispered a few words in Zhongli Cháo's ear, and Zhongli Cháo couldn't help but nod.
In the early morning of the next day, the civil and military officials who were waiting in the side hall found that none of the first giants in this ordinary time had appeared. Just when they were panicking, talking to each other and whispering, a eunuch with a whisk in his hand came to report: His Majesty is unwell, and the early dynasty has been canceled.
If it's normal, this kind of thing is also normal. But today, it seems so weird, there are a few officials belonging to different camps, playing haha, and greeting colleagues who are usually incompatible, hoping to find out something.
However, after a circle, there was no sign of it. So, after these officials left the palace, they went to their respective masters' mansions to find out, but they didn't think about it, and they were closed one by one. The mansions of the four major families are all closed without exception, and even the guards outside the gate have changed some unfamiliar faces, and they can't even pass a word, and the sentence "Your Excellency is sick, please go back" was sent away.
The entire didu was instantly enveloped in an extremely strange and oppressive atmosphere.
At this time, Linghu Jue had already arrived in Minte City and met Xia Xia. Introducing the old man to Sia, Sia heard that the old man was Xiusi's master, so he hurriedly greeted the juniors, and after a few words of greeting, the three of them entered the main topic: "Sia, Xiusi, where did they go?" Linghu Jue said with a little confusion.
Xia glanced at the old man, saw him playing with the teacup by himself, and said in a low voice: "Recently, the fortress has been very tight, and our spies can't enter the city at all, I let Xiusi and them go, if my estimate is right, the Kotru Empire is ready to send troops." ”
Taken aback, Ling Hu said, "So fast." "The last time he had a discussion with Sia, it was expected to be much later than that.
Habitually stroking his chin, Xia Xia said thoughtfully: "I'm afraid something has changed, right? But it doesn't matter, anyway, our soldiers are now concentrated in the two cities of Mingte and Dinghai." ”
Feeling that he was a little incompetent as the commander of the division, Ling Hu smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "How many soldiers are there in our division now?"
Speaking of soldiers, there was a sense of pride on Xia Xia's face, and he looked at Ling Hujue and said word by word: "Sixty thousand." ”
Taken aback by this number, Ling Hu never said, "So many." "Before he left Red Moon City, the Falcon Reserve was only 30,000 people, but now it has doubled in just two months.
Standing up, there was sunlight pouring in from the window, bathing the whole person in the light, and there was a sense of silent deterrence when he looked at it, and he said slowly: " Since I want to do it, then do it thoroughly, I have organized some soldiers of the Falcon Reserve as the defenders of Red Moon City, and all the others have been incorporated into the Falcon Division, except for the Ghost Fox Scout Battalion, the four battalions have a total of 32,000 people, of which the Flame Cavalry Battalion has the largest number of people, 16,000 people, and the newly established Falcon Four Banners, each flag has 5,000 people, a total of 20,000, but these are basically new recruits, and the combat effectiveness is not strong. ”
"Sixty thousand. Ling Hu Jue stood up with a mutter, walked to Xia Xia's side, and said with a warm smile on the corner of his lips: "No wonder you are so confident, sixty thousand, even a legion is not so much." After speaking, he seemed to have realized something, and quietly asked: "Didn't you say the Eight Banners of Falcon last time? Why are there only four flags?" ”
Sideways face, there is a light flickering in the depths of the pupils, it is a kind of charm full of domineering and pride, looking at each other, Xia Xia said solemnly: "When the banner of the falcon is planted in Crow City, Detroit, Duolun City, and Fortress, I have calculated, it is just eight cities and eight banners." ”
Ling Hu Jue was shocked by the grand blueprint drawn by West Asia, he didn't expect that West Asia had not only counted Crow City a long time ago, but also included the three cities of Duolun. What an ambition, what a domineering. At this moment, he understood that Xia Xia's pursuit, just like his pursuit of the martial arts realm, Xia had long regarded the entire Pami Plain as his goal, and when he reached this goal, he would definitely have a more ambitious pursuit.
Let all the mountains, plains, meadows, and deserts on the continent leave traces of the falcon's iron hooves, let everyone be in awe and worship the falcon's wings, and let the blood of the falcon warriors be sprinkled all over the continent. Thinking of these things that Xia Xia had said when he was drunk, Ling Hu Jue realized at this time that it was not a drink at all, it was an oath that Xia had made to himself in his heart.
"Good boy, brother, you brother is good, so arrogant, man, real man. The old man, who had been listening to the two of them, also walked over with excitement on his face, gave a thumbs up, and said sincerely. Now he is becoming more and more unable to see through the person Ling Hujue, not counting the talent of the demon, there is still such a big power. Sixty thousand troops, four cities, whatever you put there are all princes.
In response to the old man's praise, Sia waved his hand again and again and said that he didn't dare. And Ling Hu Jue has woken up from the shock at the beginning, and analyzes in his heart what loopholes have not yet been considered. Soon, he thought of a question, so his eyebrows were deep, and his eyes were gloomy: "Sia, with Xia Er and others as internal responses, it is not a big problem for us to take Crow City, but then we will suffer from the enemy, and what I am most worried about now is the magician group of the Kotru Empire." ”
Xia had also thought about this question a long time ago, and was about to build a letter to Linghu, but before he could speak. With a flash of silver light, Si Si came out, clasped his hands around his chest, and said with a smile: "Brother Ah Jue, Brother Xia Xia, aren't you just a magician?" I'll bring some people back, hehe, but Brother Ah Jue wants to accompany me. ”
His eyes lit up, and Ling Hu Jue and Xia looked at each other and smiled, what Sisi said was indeed a good way. It looks like it's time to make a trip to the Jingling Forest. Ling Hu Jue secretly paid, he was still worried about the black dragon spear in his heart, and he didn't know if Empress Jing Ling had unlocked the seal.
As if seeing his intentions, Xia Zheng said: "Ah Jue, you just go to the Jing Spirit Forest, anyway, it will take a while to reach Crowe City." Even if the Kotru Empire sends troops tomorrow, you should be able to rush back if you hurry. ”
"Alright, brother, you can stay here for now, and do something to help my brother. Ling Hu Jue weighed it in his heart, if there was no magician, he would not be sure to defend Crow City. So the decision was made very simply. After a battle with the Electric Clan, he and the old man are already friends of life and death, and there is no previous politeness in the talking room.
Although the old man really wanted to go to Jingling Forest to have a look, he also knew Linghu Jue's intention to leave him behind. With his own half-step battle king in charge, he can leave with peace of mind. So, he smiled very dryly: "It's okay, brother, you can go with confidence, I'll leave it to my brother here." ”
With a little helplessness, Xia Xia said: "I wanted to wait for you to come, and make a military parade to strengthen morale and show off the military might, but now it seems that I can only wait for you to come back from Jingling Forest." ”
Ling Hu Jue also smiled helplessly, it had been a long time since he had sat down with his brothers to drink and chat. Looking at the sunlight outside the window, there is always a little bit of heaviness lingering in my heart.
