Late at night.

Bianjing.

Taiwei Mansion.

The night was dark and the wind was high, and dark clouds covered the bright moon in the sky.

The housekeeper Ding Xi walked into the study quickly, and after closing the study door lightly, he turned around and respectfully said to Ding Nie, who was holding a military book behind the desk and reading it carefully:

"Master, there is news from the Yumen Gate."

Smack!

The scroll was put down, Ding Xi glanced at it, and quickly retracted his gaze when he saw Wu Zhouchuan, the secret history of the harem, he also has this book, the most popular erotic book on the market recently.

He was still wondering why the old man, who had always claimed to be a rough man, would stay in the study for so long, but he didn't expect to be reading the erotic love story, and now he understood.

But this is all the master's private matter, and he is not qualified to gossip, so he honestly pretends not to see it.

……

Putting down the notebook in his hand, Ding Nie noticed Ding Xi's gaze but didn't care, he knew that Ding Xi knew what to say and what not to say.

When even asked, "What's the news?" ”

Ding Xi immediately carefully took out a letter from his bosom and said while presenting it: "There is news from Yumen Pass, three days ago, the Xiongnu 100,000 troops borrowed from Yumen Pass to the Tatar steppe, according to their marching speed, they can reach Yunzhou County in three or five days at most, and now it has been three days since then, presumably the Xiongnu side should also go to Dingyang City."

After the Xiongnu crossed the border, Ding Changchun's side immediately blocked the news, Yumen Pass was allowed to enter but not to leave, and it was just unsealed today, so it should be able to conceal the whereabouts of the Xiongnu to the greatest extent. ”

Ding Nie nodded slightly, and asked while opening the letter in his hand: "Has the news of Zhao Ming's yellow-mouthed child been revealed to the Xiongnu?" ”

Ding Xi immediately said: "It has been revealed through the dark line, such a good bargaining chip, I believe that the Huns will never let it go over there, maybe in the near future, you will be able to hear the news that the crown prince Zhao Ming was captured!" ”

Ding Xi originally thought that his master would be very happy after hearing it, but what he didn't expect was that Ding Nie was very calm about the news.

After nodding slightly, he ordered: "Think of a channel that has nothing to do with us, and reveal this matter to the Imperial City Division." ”

"Huh?"

Ding Xi was stunned at the time, and after a while, he stammered: "Master, why did you want to disclose this news to the Imperial City Division?" Won't this let the emperor know?

Won't the emperor send someone to save the crown prince? ”

Ding Nie glanced at him, picked up the scroll in his hand again and read it carefully, but said in a calm tone:

"I just want him to send someone to save him, this is the prince, it is his Zhao Duan's hope, according to the current situation, it is too late to send troops, how can he send the worshippers in the palace?"

"That's not bad, but it's not good for you, sir, right?"

Ding Xi still didn't understand.

But Ding Nie only shook his head slightly and didn't answer him again, but only ordered again: "Reveal the news to the Imperial City Division." ”

Seeing that his master was like this, Ding Xi couldn't say anything anymore, even if he was full of questions, he could only put it in his heart, nodded respectfully and said, "The little one understands!" ”

After the housekeeper left the study, Ding Nie quietly looked at the script in his hand for a while, and when he saw that the monk in the script smiled at Emperor Wu of Hou Zhou and said that the matter had been done, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile.

……

Palace.

"Your Majesty!"

Late at night, Zhao Duan had just fallen asleep, and suddenly heard a call, and when he heard it carefully, Cao Shuang's heart immediately chuckled.

Generally, when he is resting, if there is nothing important, Cao Shuang will never disturb himself at such a time.

Now that Cao Shuang is here, this means that something has happened, or something has happened!

Even if Zhao Duandang hurriedly got up and changed his clothes, Cao Shuang also came in at this time.

"What's going on?"

While being served and dressed by the palace maids, Zhao Duan asked with his eyebrows.

However, Cao Shuang didn't say anything, just looked at the palace maids who were dressing Zhao Duan with his eyes.

As soon as Zhao Duan saw his expression, he immediately understood, I was afraid that what Cao Shuang was going to say next would be inconvenient for others to know, so he said loudly: "Go out, don't leave any of them!" ”

"No!"

The palace maids promised to leave, and soon only Cao Shuang and Zhao Duan's master and servant were left in the palace, and Zhao Duan asked while buttoning his clothes:

"Now you can talk about it, what happened to wake you up in the middle of the night?"

At this time, Cao Shuang was not hiding it, and immediately told the matter.

"Emperor, it's not good! Just now, the Imperial City Division came to report that the old prince of Zhenxi was missing when he rushed into the secret realm of Jianmen alone to chase down the remnants of Jianmen when he led his troops to crusade against the Shushan Sword Sect!

One day after the old prince's disappearance, the Tianwu army turned over the entire sword peak several times, but did not find any trace of the old prince, so he had to immediately use the flying eagle to transmit the news back.

So far, there is no good news, it should be that the old prince has not been found yet! ”

"What! Uncle Wang is missing? ”

This news really shocked Zhao Duan.

Even if Cao Shuang told him the news that the Tianwu Army was completely annihilated, he wouldn't be more shocked than this!

Uncle Wang, who is that?

Since 20 years ago, he has been recognized as the strongest in the world!

The cultivation of a great martial arts master is unrivaled in the world, whether it is once leading the army to chase the north on the Xiongnu grassland, or leading the troops to suppress the Jianghu sect one by one, these things are like a piece of cake for Uncle Wang.

Zhao Duan didn't dare to be careful no matter what, this invincible man like the god of war would suddenly disappear!

Who in the world can trap him?

Can anyone kill him?

However, Cao Shuang's affirmative answer made his heart sink to the bottom.

"Emperor, the old slave couldn't believe it at first, so he repeatedly confirmed the accuracy of this news more than ten times, but the fact is that the old prince is indeed missing.

The 100,000 Heavenly Martial Army can be said to have used the method of searching inch by inch, turning the entire sword peak of the Shuzhong Sword Gate upside down, and they have not been able to find the slightest trace of the old prince!

Even the secret realm of the Sword Gate disappeared without a trace, and if it weren't for a few commanders on the Tianwu Army's side, they would have thought that they had encountered gods and ghosts.

A few commanders sent letters asking what the Tianwu Army was going to do next.

Lord, look at ......"

Zhao Duan listened to these words with his hands behind his back and his eyebrows, walked back and forth in the dormitory for a while, and finally ordered:

"No matter what method they use, even if they hollow out the entire Sword Peak, and if they collapse, they will find Uncle Wang's traces!

Didn't I see it when I was there before? What kind of gunpowder does the sixth brother have, you send someone to Yunzhou County to get me a batch back, if the Tianwu Army really can't find any trace of Uncle Wang, they will blow up the entire Sword Peak for me!

I don't believe it! A big living person can disappear into thin air! ”

Zhao Duan's emotions are very excited, it is really Zhao Chongguo is too important for today's Great Song Dynasty, don't look at the old man doing nothing day by day, but as long as he is there, the domestic careerists will not dare to jump!

Whether it is personal strength or the ability to lead troops, Zhao Chongguo is the top of the Great Song Dynasty, as long as he lives for a day, everyone can only honestly prostrate at the feet of the royal family, this is the Dinghai Divine Needle of the royal family!

Now the Dinghaishen needle is lost! Zhao Duan didn't dare to think that if this news got out, what kind of uproar would it cause in the entire Great Song Dynasty!
