Chapter 248: The Prime Minister's Entrustment
Xu Ning couldn't have imagined that his cheap father didn't have any accidents, but because of what he heard from the strange boy, he came to the national capital Yicheng and came to Emperor Wei.
Xu Zhan would never have thought that as a general of Weining, he had guarded the frontier for the country for decades, although he had also noticed signs of the demon clan's movements before, but what he really confirmed was inspired by a little guy who was only 12 years old.
Su Wen looked back at Xu Zhan's solemn and cold face, his heart sank slightly, if it weren't for Lu Sanjiao's half-saint Wen in his body, Su Wen would even suspect that this was a killing game set up by Emperor Wei.
As if he had noticed the strangeness of Su Wen's expression, Hua Yifu smiled lightly and said: "I didn't expect that Su Zhenguo was very young and had a keen mind, but speaking of which, in fact, His Majesty and Su Zhenguo are also in the same family." ”
Su Wen was stunned for a moment, then understood what Hua Yifu meant, and finally turned his gaze back, and said with a smile: "The Prime Minister is right. ”
Hua Yifu led Su Wen and walked away, and the two looked from a distance, like grandparents and grandchildren participating in the garden flower party, aimlessly wandering around the deep palace path, appreciating the flowers and knowing the warm fragrance.
After a long time, Su Wen finally couldn't help but ask: "I heard that General Xu rarely leaves the border pass, and even his wife and children often pass through the door without entering, but I don't know what General Xu is doing today?"
Hua Yifu smiled lightly: "Su Zhenguo said that he admired General Xu for a long time, but now it seems that it is not a lie." ”
Su Wen nodded, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Cheng doesn't dare to bully the king." ”
When Hua Yifu heard this, a trace of deep meaning flashed in his eyes. Then he suddenly spoke: "The jade gate has changed. ”
"What!" Su Wen's face tightened, and his heart was horrified.
Of the three major border passes of the country, Yumen Pass is the most important one. Because it is not only the border pass of the country, but also the border pass of the entire human race, outside the Yumen Pass, bounded by the surging river, and then to the east, it is the settlement of the demon clan!
Su Wen's eyes widened, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. Shocked, he said, "Could it be that the demon clan is coming?"
Hua Yifu shook his head and said with a smile: "If it is really a large-scale invasion by the demon clan, how can you and I wander around here?"
Su Wen let out a long sigh of relief. Suspiciously, "What the hell is going on?"
Hua Yifu blinked, and said meaningfully: "In two months, it will be the time for my Terran Holy Land to open, so the demon clan will always make some noise." ”
Su Wen frowned. It seems that he is not satisfied with this answer of Hua Yifu. But alas, the Prime Minister seems reluctant to reveal more.
"Later, His Majesty should summon you alone, if Su Zhenguo still has any questions, you might as well ask Your Majesty directly, wouldn't it be better?"
Su Wen pursed his lips unconsciously, and no longer continued the topic, but instead said: "The student has something I want to ask the Prime Minister, and I hope that the Lord will solve his doubts." ”
"But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”
"I want to ask. What is your opinion on the situation in the Ten Kingdoms of the Terrans today, and is there really a civil war between the Terrans?"
Su Wen's question was very sudden and a little abrupt. But it was the doubt that he had been pressing in his heart since he returned from being lost in the swamp.
Regarding this matter, Su Wen had many people to ask, such as Bai Jianqiu and Lu Sanjiao, or the eldest lady Mu Xi, or even the tea saint Lu Yu, but at this moment, he suddenly realized that perhaps Hua Yifu was the one who saw it most thoroughly.
Because he is the prime minister of the country, if it comes to the general trend of the government and the human race, who is more suitable than him?
Hua Yifu did not disappoint Su Wen, he didn't even think for a moment, and then said: "Your second question is very simple, as long as the demon clan continues to choose to lie dormant and does not raise troops for the Northern Expedition, then the civil war of the human race is absolutely inevitable. ”
"Oh?" Although Su Wen guessed Hua Yifu's answer, he didn't expect the other party to answer so decisively.
"How so?"
Hua Yifu raised his head and looked at the sky in the southeast, and sighed lightly: "Because the Tianlan Empire has produced an amazing and brilliant emperor through the ages, comparable to the Demon Emperor. ”
Su Wen blurted out: "Emperor Tianlan, Ji Nantian." ”
Hua Yifu nodded, and continued: "This person is too ambitious, good at using military strategy, and his literary rank is also a half-saint, he is the first person among the hundred years of emperors of the human race, and the Tianlan Empire is prosperous under its governance, if it were not for the fact that he is also coveted by the demon clan in the east, I am afraid that a civil war would have started a long time ago." ”
Su Wen took these words to heart, and then asked again, "What about Wuguo?"
Hua Yifu seemed a little surprised by Su Wen's question, and there was a hint of approval in his eyes, and he said: "It seems that Su Zhenguo knows the situation of our Terran Race, yes, Wuguo is indeed the most critical move for the outbreak of the Terran Civil War." ”
After a pause, Hua Yifu then explained: "Once upon a time, the Martial Kingdom was the foundation of our human race, and it was so strong, but since the Sword Saint Duanyue fell to Beigu Mountain twenty years ago, its momentum has declined sharply, and the only person who has not fallen into the well is the Tianlan Emperor. ”
Su Wen's heart trembled, he didn't expect that there was such a secret in this, so, and finally explained why Wushuang Academy chose to join forces with Tianlan Academy to hunt when he was lost in the swamp.
Su Wen took a deep breath, and then asked the most crucial question: "Since this is the case, then once the Terran civil war breaks out, then how will I defend the country?"
Hearing this, Hua Yifu's face couldn't help but show a trace of bitterness, and he sighed heavily.
"yes, how do you deal with yourself?"
From the perspective of human territory, the place where Wei Guo is located is very delicate, there are two powerful countries in the southeast, the Tianlan Empire and the Wu Kingdom, and the Yan State in the north, which has been eyeing the tiger, and although the Qing State in the west is friendly with the Wei State on the surface, no one knows what kind of thoughts he actually has.
I still remember that when Xu Huanzhi forcibly broke into Shenmu Mountain before, Qingguo Flower Saint Wang Hao also participated in it, and almost plunged Hongming Academy into a catastrophe, so Qingguo's attitude towards defending the country is very subtle.
Although the Tang State has a close relationship with the Wei Guo, it has always been far away, and if a full-scale war really breaks out, I am afraid that it will still be difficult to save the fire from afar.
In addition, although Jinguo and Jiguo seem to have no quarrel with the world, no one can ignore that in these two countries, there are powerful sages like the Book Saint Wang Xizhi and the Word Saint Su Shi, respectively, who can almost single-handedly change the situation of the human race's war!
From Hua Yifu's sigh, Su Wen heard a lot of things, such as helplessness, such as hesitation, such as pessimism.
It seems that even the prime minister has decided that once a civil war breaks out, the defense of the country is the one who is most likely to be destroyed.
After a pause, Hua Yifu turned his head to look at Su Wen, a hint of hope flashed in his eyes, and said solemnly: "Therefore, the future and destiny of the country is not in the hands of us old men, but in your hands, for the sake of this fertile land, please also ask Su Zhenguo and the eldest lady to become as strong as possible!"
Su Wen was stunned for a moment, then bowed down and bowed, and said in a deep voice: "Don't dare to disappoint the king!"
