Xu He smiled bitterly, "Gongzi doesn't know, although the Emperor of Western Xia trusts his subordinates, he has always been extremely jealous of military power. ”

"Especially for the Helian family, it is even more precautionary, the 300,000 soldiers and horses under it, of which the 100,000 loyal to the subordinates are now transferred to the border of Liangzhou to be deployed, and the remaining 200,000 are in the Zhenyuan Pass that guards the border between Liangzhou and Xingzhou. ”

"The two places seem to be not far apart, and they belong to the same army, but once the subordinates show the slightest objection, the 200,000 soldiers and horses will immediately turn against each other, turn their subordinates away, or even encircle and exterminate them. ”

He didn't send this information back to Swallow Dock, firstly, because he was afraid of the suspicion of the palace and the high-level officials, and secondly, he was afraid of people's eyes, he knew that there must be a lot of chess pieces like him in the Crystal Palace, but there were almost no who could lead hundreds of thousands of troops like him.

"I see. Murong Fu couldn't help but sigh slightly, and after a little thought, he understood that the thing that the superior loved and feared the most was nothing more than military power, and it was normal for the Western Xia Emperor to take such precautions.

After thinking about it, he asked again, "You just said that there are many difficulties, what else is there?"

Xu He nodded, his face was slightly solemn, "When the subordinates returned, they found that the city defense team had also changed their guards, and they were all fresh faces, if the subordinates were not mistaken, this should be the elite of the forbidden army, in addition, the Western Xia Emperor also held at least one secret force in his hands." ”

"Those princes and nobles also have some troops in their hands more or less, if they add up, there are at least 30,000 elite troops lurking around this royal city, if you want to forcibly take the royal city, your subordinates must prepare at least 300,000 troops, and if your subordinates move here, Li Yanzong, who is defending Mongolia in the north, can feel it in a short time. ”

"Li Yanzong's department?" Murong Fu was stunned for a moment, a little familiar with the name, "How many soldiers and horses are there?"

"The establishment is 150,000, but as far as his subordinates know, most of Li Yanzong's troops are the children of princes and nobles, and there are a lot of empty salaries, and they are only 100,000 when they are full, but they are also a force to be reckoned with. Xu He said what he knew in one breath.

Murong Fu frowned slightly, he felt that he had already looked up to the Western Xia Kingdom high enough, but he didn't expect that there would be so many troops, and with this military strength alone, it could almost be compared with the weakest Jin Kingdom in the Central Plains.

Of course, don't look at the current internal affairs of the Jin State into a pot of porridge, quite a situation of declining, but in terms of military strength, it is not weak, which stems from the war with Mongolia for many years, which has not been interrupted.

"Childe?" Xu He looked at Murong Fu cautiously, for fear that he would blame himself for his incompetence.

Murong Fu could naturally see his thoughts, and after a change of thought, he smiled and said, "You can't be blamed for this, take your time, we can afford to wait." ”

"Thank you Gongzi for your understanding," Xu He said politely, "My subordinates came back this time by order, bringing two thousand guards, and now one thousand and five are stationed outside the city, and five hundred are in the mansion, all of them are loyal dead soldiers, and if Gongzi needs it, he can call it at any time." ”

Murong Fu was noncommittal on his face, and he was really a little disappointed in his heart, to be honest, these five hundred guards were of little use, and it was easy to expose Xu He's identity, and the gains outweighed the losses.

As soon as the conversation changed, he asked about the past few days, "By the way, the Western Xia Emperor had a close relationship with the Mongolian mission during this time, did he make any big moves?"

After Xu He heard this, a trace of embarrassment flashed on his face, "Childe, my subordinates also just entered the city last night, and they entered the palace this morning to meet the emperor to report on their work, but they didn't find anything abnormal, as for the Mongolian mission, they have always been in contact." ”

"In fact, Gongzi should know that the Emperor of Western Xia was originally a wall-to-wall grass, not only the Mongolian mission, but also the Great Song Dynasty, Dajin, and Daliao, all of which had dealings, only the Qing Dynasty was far away, and the relationship was relatively dull. ”

Hearing this, a trace of disappointment flashed in Murong Fu's eyes, he wanted to ask the Western Xia Emperor if he had decided to form an alliance with Mongolia, but he didn't expect that Xu He had just come back, and he didn't know what the situation was.

In addition to being disappointed, he gradually realized that the intelligence on the Western Xia side was still too weak, and he used to think that it would be enough for Xu He to pretend to be Helian Tieshu, but now it seems that this may not be the case.

Of course, this is not that the Crystal Palace saves manpower, but that Li Qiushui is in charge of the Xixia Palace, and ordinary eyeliner cannot be inserted at all.

"Well, you should first manage your army well, and strive to keep 300,000 soldiers and horses firmly in your hands. Murong Fu pondered for a while and said helplessly.

"I will live up to my son's orders, at most three years, my subordinates will be able to turn these 300,000 soldiers and horses into the soldiers and horses of the Murong family. Xu He immediately patted his chest and promised, showing his loyalty without a trace.

Murong Fu patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and said meaningfully, "Do a good job, the prince and the general, rather have a kind." ”

"Yes!" Xu He replied solemnly.

"I'll go first. Murong Fu got up and said goodbye.

"Childe," Xu He's face showed a look of panic, and he hurriedly got up to stop him, "It's rare that Childe is here, and his subordinates are also half masters, how can he not entertain Childe well!"

Murong Fu waved his hand, "No, someone has been calculating me recently, if I stay for a long time, it will inevitably go wrong, your identity is not easy to come by, and there is no room for loss." ”

Xu He was furious, "Who dares to calculate the son!"

"Don't say it. Murong Fu shook his head casually and immediately walked towards the outside of the hall.

Xu He was about to send him, but he stopped him, so he had to bow deeply to his back.

Out of the Great General's Mansion, Murong Fu walked straight towards the palace.

It's just that when he came to the gate of the palace, he was in trouble again, and now in broad daylight, his light skills were greatly reduced, and it was impossible to sneak in silently.

After wandering for a while, he was about to give up, when his eyes suddenly lit up, and he shouted, "Huanhuan, why are you here?"

But I saw a little girl carved in pink, wearing a white exquisite palace dress, walking out of the palace gate, it was Huanhuan, one of Li Qiushui's two little maids.

When Huanhuan saw Murong Fu, he was obviously stunned for a moment, his good-looking eyebrows frowned slightly, and then let go, his delicate little face was as plain as water.

"Girl, I happened to be looking for you. Murong Fu stepped forward, stopped in front of Huanhuan, and said with a smile.

"What's the matter?" Huan Huan asked.

"I want to go to Qinghua Palace again, and I want you to lead the way. ”

"Without the will of the mother, it is difficult to obey the fate. Huanhuan refused without hesitation, and then turned sideways to bypass Murong Fu.

Unexpectedly, Murong Fu laughed evilly, grabbed her little hand, and walked towards the palace gate without saying a word.

"You ......" Huanhuan was also stunned for a while, and did not resist.

Walking to the palace gate, the guards saw Murong Fu pulling Huanhuan intimately, except for surprise and surprise, they didn't stop him.

In fact, they really didn't dare to stop it, who in the entire palace didn't know that this little girl was the personal palace maid of the Queen Mother, not to mention offended, even if she was slightly disrespectful, she would be beaten badly.

"Hey, what are you doing, let me go. Huanhuan also understood that Murong Fu was using himself as a peer token.

She screamed loudly, but her little hands did not struggle, perhaps subconsciously felt that Murong Fu's martial arts were too high, and it was useless to struggle.

In fact, she didn't know that Murong Fu had lost all her skills, otherwise she was afraid that she would have to teach him a good lesson, in order to avenge the revenge of the two little sisters being bullied by him last time.

The road to Qinghua Palace, Murong Fu naturally remembered, not long ago, he had already come to Qinghua Palace.

"Okay, thank you this time. Murong Fu said to Little Lori with a smile.

"Hmph!" Huan Huan snorted coquettishly and rubbed his little hand that was dragged a little painfully.

"Haha," Murong Fu smiled, thinking that it would be another trouble to leave the palace later, his mind turned around, and he said, "Don't worry, I won't let you do it in vain, if you are willing to wait for me here, I will surprise you." ”

"What surprise?" After all, it is a child's nature, and a wisp of expectation immediately flashed in Xiao Lori's eyes, and she blurted out.

"Your little Wuxiang Gong has only practiced a little bit of the surface. Murong Fu nodded meaningfully.

Huanhuan Xiao Lori was stunned, "Do you know Xiao Wuxianggong?"

"Of course, you don't want to think about what I have to do with your queen mother. Murong Fu immediately moved Li Qiushui out, but as soon as the words came out, it seemed a little ambiguous, and he added, "If you wait for me here, I can teach you a little more." ”

Xiao Lori glanced at Murong Fu seriously, obviously a little moved, but finally shook her head, "Without Niangniang's permission, it's useless for you to teach." ”

Murong Fu was stunned, he didn't expect this girl to be so loyal to Li Qiushui, his mind turned sharply, he smiled evilly, "You brought me in just now, if you don't take me out, if something happens at that time, aren't you afraid of the Queen Mother's punishment?"

Xiao Lori's face was slightly suffocated, this was also what she was worried about, she hesitated, and finally said coldly, "Hmph, then you hurry up." ”

"Soon. Murong Fu said, turned around and entered Qinghua Palace.

The passage was unimpeded, and after a while, Murong Fu came to the attic where the prince of the Great Song Dynasty lived, and came here naturally for Wu Wei.

The small courtyard behind the attic was in ruins, and a dozen servants were tidying up.

"Hey, what are you doing here?" Just as Murong Fu was about to let people pass the word, two people came out of the door, one of them was handsome and had a very white complexion, it was Gonggong Wu.

As for the other person, he was delicate, arrogant, pale, and vain, and he was the prince of the Great Song Dynasty.

Before Murong Fu could answer, Zhao Fu preemptively said, "It's you! ”

As soon as he shouted, several figures in the pavilion swept away, and in the blink of an eye, seven or eight people had surrounded Murong Fu, and the aura on his body was not weak, at least above the first-class.

"Hmph, there is nowhere to find the iron shoes, it takes no effort to get it, I didn't expect you to be so bold, you actually sent it to the door yourself, and I won't give you some color to see today, this is too ...... Childe's name is written upside down. Zhao Fu said a little crazy.

"Really?" Murong Fu looked indifferent and said lightly, "Zhao Gongzi's words should not be too full, otherwise they will not be able to cash in, and people will lose a lot." ”

"Heh," Zhao Fu sneered, "It's really unbelievable." ”
