At the gate of the palace in Eternal Life City, Xue Ming's carriage drove straight into the palace gate, and no one stopped him.

Because that was the prince of the prison country appointed by Emperor Yuan himself, when Emperor Yuan was away, he was like Emperor Yuan.

But the man behind him is not.

Yu Nan and Xue Ming's personal guards were stopped by the cowardly Xue Wei, but coincidentally, the one who was on duty at the palace gate today was still the general Shi Jin who had stopped Xue Zhen and Cui Pheasant.

"These are all His Highness's guards, is there any problem with entering the palace?" Liu Yi looked at Shi Jin.

Shi Jin was about to speak, when Xue Ming's carriage stopped, lifted the side curtain, and revealed a gloomy face.

Shi Jin's body shrank, and he didn't dare to speak, and a rough voice sounded, "The palace is forbidden, how can idlers be allowed to enter." ”

Following the prestige, a short, stocky man who looked like a general was walking quickly, walking with extraordinary momentum.

Shi Jinru was granted amnesty, "General." ”

The subordinate officials of the second prince, including Liu Yi and others, also clasped their fists and saluted, "I've seen Lord Wen Chi." ”

Wen Chi walked to the carriage and saluted with his fists, "Second prince, those who have no official body are not allowed to enter the palace unless they are edicted, this is the rule." ”

Xue Ming stepped out of the carriage, looked at Wen Chi and smiled: "I am ordered to supervise the country, does my summoning count?"

Wen Chi was neither humble nor arrogant, "Has Your Highness figured it out?"

"Government affairs are needed, and I believe that my father will not blame me when he returns to Beijing. Xue Ming smiled slightly.

Wen Chi waved his hand at the sergeants who were in the way, and the sergeants immediately moved out of the way.

"Thank you. ”

Xue Ming sat back in the carriage, glanced at Wen Chi deeply, lowered the curtain, and the carriage drove straight into the palace.

Waiting for Xue Ming to walk away, Shi Jin leaned over, "Chief of the Central Guard, what is the number of these two princes?"

Wen Chi shook his head, "To be on the safe side, you go and notify the Immortal Hall and send more people." ”

Shi Jin's heart sank, and he hurried to the Hall of Eternal Life.

Wen Chi frowned and pondered for a while, but still felt that something was wrong, gritted his teeth, grabbed another cronie sergeant, and took out a token from his arms, "You quickly go to the camp outside the city and invite Lord Li Hua to come over." ”

Soon after Xue Lu entered the palace, an edict from the prison was issued, ordering hundreds of officials in the city to enter the palace to discuss matters.

Because this day was neither a small court meeting nor a gray meeting, it took a long time for the personnel to be notified.

When the cars of the hundreds of officials came to the palace and stopped, and the big and small officials rushed in, Li Hua also happened to arrive at the palace gate at the invitation of Wen Chi. According to the rules, there must be a general in the camp outside the city, but now that Hu Yanbo is outside, Wen Chi actually came to invite him into the city regardless of the rules, which made Li Hua a little nervous.

He hurriedly found Wen Chi and asked in a low voice, "What's the situation?"

Wen Chi said the scene just now, "The second prince himself is a cultivator of the Knowing Destiny Realm, and he rarely brings guards for the first time, but today he actually brought a team of guards, I think it's strange." ”

But I don't have enough brains to figure it out that much. These were the words that Wen Chi did not say.

Li Hua pulled Wen Chi and hurriedly entered the duty room of the palace ban, waved off the guards, and looked serious, "Although it is not in accordance with the rules, in fact, if you don't come to me, I will come to you." ”

Wen Chi couldn't help but care

"What's wrong?"

Li Hua sighed, "I haven't received a letter from Hu Yanbo for three days. ”

According to the old rules within the cowardly Xue Wei, any one or two of the left, center, and right guards traveling with Emperor Yuan must communicate with the left-behind camp, usually with the frequency of each camp, so that in case of accidents, the left-behind camp can make the most correct judgment.

Moreover, the letter must be stamped with the seal of the Yuan Emperor to prevent suspicion of exaggeration.

But at the same time, the contradiction is that as long as the person of the royal family surnamed Xue succeeds in obtaining the throne, Xue Wei will never avenge the old emperor, but will only remain neutral, and after the dust settles, he will be loyal to the new Yuan Emperor.

Therefore, there is also an easy-to-understand saying that Xue Wei is indeed extremely loyal to Emperor Yuan, but not to people, but to that chair.

Many people in the Southern Dynasties simply can't understand such a design, so what is the emperor's private soldier and what is it called a direct guard!

But it is with this design that the cowardly Xue Wei has lasted for hundreds of years, and his strength has never declined, and Emperor Yuan has always trusted him.

In this regard, it can only be said that one side of the water and soil, one side of the customs.

Wen Chi's eyes widened like a cow, "Something happened?"

"I don't know. Maybe it has something to do with the second prince's move. Li Hua said in a deep voice.

"What about us?"

"Wait and see, Emperor Yuan's order has not come, let's stick to our duties, if it is...... If something really happens to Your Majesty, let's follow the rules and listen to the new Majesty. ”

Wen Chi stretched out his big hand and rubbed his face vigorously, this fucking thing really happened to me!

"Lao Li, my brain, hey, it's up to you!"

-------------------

In the Hall of Eternal Life, a chair was placed diagonally below Xue Lu's throne, and Xue Ming, dressed in a traditional royal black gold robe, sat on the chair and looked at the crowd that was gradually filling up below.

He looked at Liu Yi who was waiting on the side, "Have you all arrived?"

Liu Yi said in a low voice: "King Yong and the father and son of the Yuan family have not yet come. ”

"King Yong, don't worry. Xue Ming tapped his fingers lightly on his knee, "It's a little strange that the old fox of the Yuan family didn't come." ”

"Your Highness, the ministers have all arrived, I don't know what Your Highness commands. ”

The right prime minister, Han Bai, stood at the front of the team and spoke loudly, interrupting Xue Ming's thoughts.

Xue Ming's heart swelled up with some displeasure slightly, and his face was as usual, "I think everyone knows that my father led the army to fight successively, straight into the hinterland of Daduan, and the momentum is like a rainbow. Early this morning, I received a new military intelligence report. ”

The noisy hall was instantly quiet and could be heard, which was a thing worthy of everyone's curiosity.

Military intelligence news, those who do not have the strength cannot inquire about it, and many people with strength dare not inquire about it, and an accusation of disobedience is enough to make many people frightened.

Moreover, the army moves at any time, and carrier pigeons and the like are not easy to use, and can only be transmitted through people and horses, so military intelligence has always been the first to circulate in those channels that are tacitly approved.

Xue Ming's voice could be heard clearly in the main hall, "We are defeated, more than ten thousand grasses."

Yuan Erlang died in Daduan, his father was ill, and the rest of the army had begun to turn around at this moment. ”

A small pebble can stir up the ripples of the pond, and such a thunder suddenly blew up the ministers in the palace.

Gradually, someone began to speak in a whisper, and slowly, the voice grew louder and louder.

The Hall of Eternal Life rarely ushered in a crowd of people.

Even the prime ministers on the left and right couldn't help but look at each other and make eye contact.

"Quiet. Xue Ming's voice was still soft.

The voice did not subside, but seemed to be a little louder.

Xue Ming took Zhenyuan and snorted softly, "Quiet!"

The Hall of Eternal Life was really obediently quiet for a moment, and the ministers then remembered that this second prince, who was now in power, also had an identity on the Xiaotian List, a cultivator of the Knowing Destiny Realm.

Xue Ming stood up slowly, and said loudly: "Before my father's imperial expedition, I was ordered to supervise the country, Xue Ming was not talented, but fortunately, thanks to the joint efforts of the princes, he barely failed in his mission." Now that I have returned to the division after the defeat of the army, in order to prevent the big end of the secret spy and the small chaos, I intend to join the palace with the princes in the palace forbidden, and at the same time the city of eternal life is under martial law until my father and the emperor turn around. ”

"What do you mean?"

"I hear that means we're going to be in this palace for a few days?"

"It seems to be!"

"How's that going to work?"

Inevitably, there was a lot of discussion in the hall again.

Xue Ming's expression was calm, and he pretended not to be aware of these words that fell into his ears word for word.

"Your Highness, if all the ministers stay in the palace, how will the government affairs be handled? And there are so many people, I am afraid it will be inconvenient!"

The right prime minister, Han Bai, was old and serious, and spoke out to persuade him.

Xue Ming smiled slightly, "Prime Minister Right is right, so I thought about it on the way here, there are many side halls in the front hall, which can be used as temporary offices of various departments, and all documents can be transmitted by the palace guards." As for the residence, I have a grassland and a world for my home, and I have ordered someone to prepare a tent. ”

Han Bai wanted to say more, Xue Ming's smile was cold, "Doing extraordinary things at an extraordinary time, could it be that the right prime minister still has other ideas?"

Han Bai hurriedly stopped his mouth, just afraid that if he said one more word, there would be a big disaster.

But not everyone had the same acumen as him, and a military official from the Great Prince's faction said in a loud voice: "Your Highness, you are only in charge of the country, what qualifications do you have to ban the ministers and block the city!"

Xue Ming glared angrily and said coldly: "In this extraordinary period, the ministers are sitting in the palace ban, beware of small chaos, and maintain the stability of the court situation, what is the problem?

"I ...... I ......"

"What are you! I see that you clearly have other plans, and you deserve to be punished for your crimes!"

Xue Ming stretched out his hand and grabbed it, and Zhen Yuan turned into a big hand and instantly pulled the military official in front of him, not allowing him to say anything, and slapped it with one palm, slapping his head to pieces.

The red and white liquid slowly flowed on the ground, and Xue Ming said coldly: "When my father returns to the palace, I will ask him for guilt." But at this time, I hope that you will work together with me to stabilize the overall situation!"

He shook his hand, "If there is someone who harbors evil intentions, this is the end!"

The left prime minister and the right prime minister glanced at each other again, and said first: "The minister obeys the order!"

The Huang Zi ministers in the back had no choice but to follow, and the echoing voice resounded through the hall, "The ministers obey the order." ”

After the ministers dispersed, under the arrangement of the prime ministers on the left and right, they went to the side hall, Xue Ming let out a long breath and sat down on the chair.

Yu Nan quietly walked out from behind a pillar and bowed to him, "Congratulations, Your Highness, you have taken the first step." ”

Liu Yi glanced at him hatefully, but fortunately he couldn't hold back and didn't speak.

Xue Ming looked into the distance, "I hope that the soldiers of Libing Mountain will come quickly, and the Liu family will also come quickly." ”

Yu Nan reminded: "The Yuan family and King Yong's side also have to send someone to urge." ”

Xue Ming nodded, clenched his fists, his eyes narrowed, success or failure, in one fell swoop.

Among the four people who appeared in Xue Ming's study earlier, Master Bao and the old man were each leading several fast horses and galloping towards their respective destinations.

------------------------------

When you go all the way to the south, you can see that the mountains are getting greener, the water is getting deeper, the wind is warm and the days are long, and the pride is full of pride;

All the way to the north, you can only see the mountain turning from green to gray, the ground gradually more withered grass, floating leaves, and desolate.

The only good thing is that the close Da Mink Temple next to Emperor Yuan He appeared, confirming that His Majesty was just sick, and at the same time, under Wu Ti's best efforts, the remaining huge team did not have chaos, and was still able to stabilize its position, and slowly retreated, leaving no opportunity for the Daduan troops chasing behind him.

Huang Daxing and Du Ruoyan, who wanted to make a good fortune in battle, hated it so much, but they couldn't.

As for the tens of thousands of people in their hands, the other party is not in a mess, and they really don't dare to rush forward.

Fortunately, Beiyuan was determined to retreat, and he did not do more looting and slaughtering in the place, otherwise Du Ruoyan and Huang Daxing would be in a dilemma.

Beiyuan ran all the way, and the two followed behind the ass all the way to regain the lost ground, and finally reached the border of Anzhou.

That night, there was another very small meeting, which was quietly held in Wu Ti's military tent.

The five or six people present held the most important military power of this army, and more importantly, they all knew the real situation at the moment.

Wu Ti glanced around, and said in a deep voice: "The next thing is Yinyang Pass, I still mean that, we must leave enough people in Yinyang Pass to guard the door." ”

The great nobles of the steppe who had once collapsed on the shore of Beidu in embarrassment and weakness were now back surrounded by the soldiers and horses under their command, and they became wise and majestic again, listening to Wu Ti's words, they were silent.

Ma Qi looked at Wu Ti, "Lord Wu Ti, what is the top priority now?"

Wu Ti sighed, "But when the big event is decided, it will be impossible for Yinyang Pass to take it back!"

Someone immediately retorted: "That is not ours, why do you have to take it back, how many years have passed, haven't you also spent guarding Xiongzhou?"

An old man snorted lightly, "The future, let's talk about the future, at this moment, there is less weight to speak with, and it is your business to relieve the country's worries."

, anyway, the old man won't divide the troops!"

He looked at Wu Ti's expressionless face, "The old man gave you five hundred soldiers and horses, and you will be benevolent!"

After speaking, he flicked his sleeves and got up to leave.

The rest of the people also stood up, each sent three or five hundred soldiers and horses, arched their hands towards Wu Ti, and left in embarrassment.

In the end, Ma Qi stood up, "Lord Wu Ti, you are loyal to the country, but you can't do anything, forget it." No one will blame you. ”

Wu Ti wanted to say more, Ma Qi arched his hand, "Lord Wu Ti, rest early." ”

Looking at the empty embroidered pier, Wu Ti sighed, "It's a pity that my Xianbei Iron Rider is not there!"

Gonggong He quietly appeared in the tent with a cold expression, "Now that you have no soldiers and no soldiers, how can you do what you promised me?"

Wu Ti clenched his fists, "Don't worry, I dare to say that it will be done naturally." On this grassland, except for Helian Qingshan and Yuan Tao, I am not afraid of anyone!"

"Yuan Tao?" said Gonggong He suspiciously.

Wu Ti looked at Grandpa He, "If he and I choose the side, then everything will be worry-free." ”

"What about the Yang Pass?"

"Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven. ”

Early the next morning, the wind blew and the sand rose, and the mighty army pulled out the camp again and walked towards Yanyang Pass.

When Huang Daxing and Du Ruoyan happily followed, intending to make a big deal for nothing, the city gate was quickly closed, and a rain of arrows was shot from the city, knocking all the fastest Daduan sergeants to the ground.

At the head of the city, there was a figure standing proudly, it was Wu Ti!

He looked coldly at Huang Daxing and Du Ruoyan under the city, when he was in Zhulu Town, it was these two people who personally commanded the battle, which triggered the current series of events.

"Two generals, just send the guests outside the gate. ”

Huang Daxing and Du Ruoyan glanced at each other, helpless, yes, this time there is a fight, who is not good to keep in Beiyuan, but he left the most capable Xianbei Iron Cavalry Co-master!

Du Ruoyan said loudly: "This gate is ours. ”

Wu Ti replied coldly: "Then you can get it!"

He turned around and looked at the only two thousand defenders in the city, and the three thousand old and weak soldiers who were given alms by those steppe nobles, with a resolute expression, fortunately, there were enough military rations and equipment to defend the city.

Behind him, in the direction of Daduan, huge smoke and shouts of killing rose.
