"What?" Qi An, who was sitting on the recliner in the center of the hall, his eyes widened suddenly, and he slapped his armrest, as if he was about to jump up from the chair, and shouted to the guards kneeling on the ground.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... The people of the Western Regions in Xijingli...... Suddenly launched an attack on me at dawn, there were hundreds of them, and our manpower had already been injured by more than a dozen brothers. The guard said to him.

When Qi An heard this, a cold sweat broke out on his head, his eyes looked around at a loss, his arms trembled involuntarily, and he muttered, "How can it be...... How could it be so big...... How could the people of the Western Regions rebel?"

The guard raised his head, looked at Qi An and asked, "His Royal Highness the Prince, do you want to report this matter to the authorities?"

"Fuck your mother's ass!" Qi An roared at him, so frightened that the guard hurriedly lowered his head, he slapped the armrest hard, and said, "What is the report? I am the sky! Who can be above me except the emperor!"

The guard fell to his knees and said yes in a resigned manner.

Qi An leaned back on the recliner, took a deep breath, and squeezed the armrests tightly, his fat chest rising and falling violently.

"Bastard...... Find me something to do at this time......" He gritted his teeth and said, then raised his head and said to the guards, "Call all the Praetorian Guards for me, transport the armaments over, and complete the equipment for me, all the people in the Western Regions in Xijing will be reduced to slaves for me, and those who resist will be punished on the spot!"

"Yes!" replied the guard, getting up and hurriing away.

Qi An's anger did not subside, and he still clenched his fists viciously.

After the guards left, a woman with still charm walked out from behind the curtain next to the hall, came to Qi An's side, and said softly: "Your Highness is angry, the trouble in the Xijing market is not a matter of one or two days, why is Your Highness so angry?"

Qi An turned his head to look at her and said, "Nurse, you don't know, since this person from the Western Regions came to my Qi country, he has been preparing to move, trying to threaten the status of my Great Qi. These dirty low-level scum quenched have long had the intention of killing me. If it weren't for the emperor's kindness, he would have been suppressed a long time ago. If they don't make a move, won't they be trampled under the feet of the people of the Western Regions?"

When the woman heard this, her face turned a little pale, and she approached him and said, "Your Highness just thinks that these little people will not be so angry with Your Highness, in case they are caught by the New Party......"

"So. Qi An stood up with great difficulty and said, "I must completely slap them to death before the Western Regions make a momentum, if I have military power, how dare anyone make a mistake on my territory!"

After that, he straightened his waist, put his hands behind his back, and said, "Qi Yu, this ghost thing, said that he wanted to help me get that Chu woman in his hands." As long as he catches that Chu woman, I don't have to bother so much at all, I just go to the emperor and say that the new party has an affair with Chu, and the emperor will definitely listen to me, after all, that Chu woman is in my hands. ”

The woman helped Qi An and asked, "Can ...... How can it be proved that the person he caught by the head of the Qi sect must be from the Chu State?"

Qi An looked at her and said, "If it's an ordinary Chu person, it's of no value. But Qi Yu said, that woman of the Chu State is the person next to the King of Chu, whether she can provide us with valuable things such as the remnants of the Chu State, it doesn't matter, do you remember the demon refining pot that we searched from the Chu Palace after the death of Chu?"

The woman frowned, thought for a while, and asked, "That demon refining pot...... But the artifact that the emperor ordered people to guard strictly?"

Qi An smiled, the anger finally came down, and there was a little smugness between his eyebrows, and he said: "That's right, this demon refining pot was passed by the royal family of Chu State with the bloodline secret technique, and only those who have experienced the bloodline secret technique can reactivate it." When the royal family of Chu was at its peak, they once collected all the ten major artifacts in the world, and cast all of them with bloodline secret techniques. Today, only seven artifacts are guarded by the seven great powers, and the remaining three are missing. But it doesn't matter, as long as the demon refining pot can communicate with that Chu woman, then, above the imperial court, I only need a piece of impeachment, and the entire new party will no longer have a foothold!"

Seeing this, the woman saluted him and said, "I wish Your Highness all the best in your work." ”

The vast desert.

At this moment, the sun was shining, and the hot ground seemed to be on fire. Several lonely figures were riding horses in the direction of Chang'an City.

They walked up a high hill and looked down to see the ingenuity of the Creator. The entire Gobi Desert is like an oil painting rendered at will, with elegant and magnificent curves drawn one by one, and the colorful terrain is undulating and endless.

Two figures in wide black robes rode horses and walked in front, vigilantly observing the movements around them, Han Luyao and Shen Mengxi rode their horses and walked in the middle, and behind the wounded Qi Yu Palace, the five people each had a ghost in their hearts, and slowly walked forward on the deserted Gobi Desert.

Han Luyao's face was still as cold as ever, she changed into a veil that shaded the sun, and the fragmented skirts on her body were simply tied, revealing her slender legs and holding the horse's belly.

Qi Yu behind her leaned on his horse a little tiredly, and the wound on his chest was still oozing blood after being bandaged. He rode his horse forward, while adjusting his own internal force, even if he simply saved his life, but Han Luyao's blow still pierced his atrium, and the meridians may be permanently damaged, at least the internal force will be greatly damaged, and the worst will be the meridians blocked, and he may always carry this injury in the future.

Qi Yu opened his eyes, looked at the backs of the two women in front of him, and silently thought about the next plan given to him by the master.

According to his master's arrangement, the next thing only needs Han Luyao to cooperate obediently, and he doesn't need to worry too much. But he originally wanted to subdue Han Luyao, and he was defeated by Han Luyao many years ago, so he was unwilling, so he wanted to put her to death. I didn't think that he was careless for a while, but was hurt by her. But fortunately, the ending was like this, he made up the words that tens of thousands of horses were chasing and killing Han Luyao, and he didn't expect that she would worry about her identity being revealed, and was willing to cooperate with him to return to Chang'an. If he doesn't, he will die today.

The master had already told him not to make trouble until he had to, but he was still a little careless, Han Luyao's true level was not recorded in the world's list, but it was definitely above him.

Thinking like this, he couldn't help but feel a little more resentful and indignant when he looked at Han Luyao.

Cooperation with the remnants of Chu is something he is very reluctant to do, as the vanguard general of the anti-Chu Qi army back then, he has always had a deep grudge against Chu State, not to mention that his former love Xu Yan died under the hooves of the Chu army, although there is part of the reason for Prince Qi'an, but this still ignited his monstrous hatred for Chu State.

After the first battle of Huyaguan, he could not escape the shadow of that war until now, and since then, he has never smiled in front of his subordinates, and he is called the iron-masked general. Later, when the Chu army declined and the Qi army counterattacked, he was resolute in tactics and tactics, bold and ruthless, rushed into the iron cavalry of ten thousand horses alone, cut off the head of the Chu general, three in and three out, and led a single light cavalry to kill the trump card of the Chu army led by Li Qiuhan. Together with Zhao Long of Zhao and Qin Ziying of Qin, he is collectively known as the Three Xiongs.

After retiring to the court, he took off his official uniform and sneaked into the city of Chang'an. In the tea, rice, oil, salt, and fireworks in the world, he witnessed and experienced the suffering of the world. The picture of Chang'an's bureaucratic corruption, preying on the common people, and oppressing the poor people is vividly in my mind, while the court is fighting openly and secretly, and the old and new parties are intriguing day and night regardless of the safety of the bottom. Only then did he realize in a trance that after driving the people of Chu away, the country was still full of holes, and there were more important things waiting for him to do.

Killing people is done by martial arts, and saving the country is located in Liangchen.

He fought for this country for several years, but he did not save the people of this country from the roots, which made him more and more unwilling, even more than the hatred of Chu.

He wants to take power once again, save the people from fire and water, and help the building to fall. However, he is not familiar with government affairs, has no power and no power, he must obey the arrangement of his master, who has retired from the position of prime minister, and take advantage of the emperor's serious illness and the change of power to defeat the rising new party.

And the plan that the master gave him was a rare opportunity. Qi'an, who has always coveted military power, is exactly what they need. Although he understood that Qi An had always had a plot to spy on him, and was worried that his military exploits would affect his status, after secretly driving him down from the court, he still regarded him as a thorn in his side. But at this moment, in the face of the new party, the goal of the two of them is still the same.

According to the master's decision, he only needs to bring Han Luyao back to Chang'an and verify her identity in front of everyone, then, she is a very fierce sword, which will definitely set off everyone's panic. At that time, if Qi An came to use her to accuse the New Party, he could turn the entire court upside down and change the clouds.

He carefully and repeatedly deliberated on the whole plan, trying to be foolproof.

Just as Qi Yu was thinking about it, Han Luyao in front of him turned his head, looked at him coldly, and said, "Is it good-looking?"

Qi Yu was stunned for a moment, only to realize that his eyes had been staring at her bare white legs obsessively, and he and Han Luyao glanced at each other, their eyes full of murderous intent.

Han Luyao didn't seem to notice his eyes at all, and said lightly: "Your swordsmanship is good, you can attract sword spirits." ”

Qi Yu listened to her words, a little confused, feeling like a naked mockery, so he said coldly: "Do you remember the sword spirit I used in Li Qiuhan's camp a few years ago?"

Han Luyao turned his head and said lightly: "I don't remember." I heard that the swordsmanship of the Great Prince of Qi has also been included in the world list?"

"It's a fluke to be on the list, but it's not enough to worry about it. Qi Yu said. He didn't want to say anything more to Han Luyao, so he glanced to the side and didn't look at her.

"Then do you know that the Great Moon Country Leaf is not left, and in the list of swordsmen in the world, how many are they ranked in?" Han Luyao suddenly asked.

Qi Yu didn't understand the meaning of her words, and replied with a frown: "As far as I know, Ye Buliu's swordsmanship is unique, although he rarely makes a move in front of the world, but those people from the Hanlin Academy still rank him seventh, far exceeding the strength of most swordsmen in the rivers and lakes. Why do you ask this?"

Han Luyao replied lightly: "It's nothing." ”

Shen Mengxi, who was beside Han Luyao, listened to the conversation between the two and roughly guessed that Han Luyao had never been ranked in the world, and he wanted to use Ye Buliu's strength to estimate her level among the world. She stole a worried glance at her, as the identities of the two of them gradually became known to more people, those troubles would follow, and the disputes with the major rivers and lakes would inevitably increase in the future.
