The appearance of the Xuan Snake was just a small episode, as long as the other party did not come again, Ji Xiao naturally would not chase and beat this unfathomable demon king.

And for Liangguo, there is a big disaster in front of him.

Because the general of the Tuyuan Kingdom, the snakehead, led 100,000 iron horsemen, broke through the border pass in the north, and directly killed the king of the Liang Kingdom. It turned out that he supported the four princes of Tuyuan to compete for the throne of the Great Khan, but the four princes failed, and the snakehead was afraid that he would be liquidated afterwards, so he simply didn't do anything, led 100,000 iron horsemen, stepped through the border pass of Liangguo, and wanted to occupy Liangguo and establish himself as king.

Over the years, whenever the Tuyuan Kingdom attacked the Liang Kingdom, it was a plunder. The snakehead moved really this time, and where the border army in the north was the opponent, it was directly broken through the defense line. Those military leaders who were still thinking about blackmailing the new monarch of the Liang Kingdom were also killed by the iron cavalry of the Tuyuan Kingdom in the chaotic army.

They rode south, marching like the wind, without carrying any baggage, and they were all supplied on the spot along the road, so when the wolf smoke rose, the iron cavalry of Tu Yuan Kingdom was killed soon after.

If it weren't for the new monarch of Liangguo returning to the city soon, I was afraid that he would be stranded outside the city.

Fortunately, the royal capital was strong, and the iron cavalry of Tuyuan Kingdom did not bring baggage, and naturally did not bring siege equipment, so it was only a large army to surround the royal capital.

By the time the new monarch convened the ministers to discuss countermeasures, people inside and outside the palace were already panicking.

The important ministers in the court can't say why, and the most mainstream view is to cut the land and seek peace.

But they found that although His Majesty was facing such a big matter, he was still calmer than them, and gradually the hearts of the important ministers of the court also settled down.

The new monarch said: "If you seek peace by war, you can make peace, and if you seek peace with peace, you are a lamb to be slaughtered." Even if we want to reconcile with the tigers and wolves outside, we must teach them to be afraid, otherwise blindly being weak will only make them gain an inch. ”

His voice spread throughout the court.

These courtiers have to admire His Majesty's wisdom at this time, if they were replaced by the old monarch, they would never have thought of this layer.

But there was still a dignified old courtier who asked, "What if you anger the Tuyuan people outside?"

Xinjun smiled faintly and said, "If the situation really reaches a very dangerous time, the widow and the country will live and die together. ”

He glanced at the ministers in the palace, and he had an extraordinary heroic spirit.

He changed his words and said: "But the two armies are fighting, and there should be envoys to and fro, which of you is willing to be a messenger to explore the reality of the Tuyuan people?"

The ministers looked at each other, and after a while, one person came out of the crowd and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers are willing to go." ”

Xinjun looked at it and saw that it was his brother-in-law Huo Qing.

Xinjun smiled: "Okay, Huo Qing, I will order you to be the messenger to see what those tiger wolves look like." ”

Huo Qing immediately knelt down to receive the order.

Then the court discussed for a while, and the ministers withdrew.

Huo Qing knew that this trip was unpredictable, and he was about to go back to confess, but he was introduced into the monarch's imperial study by a small eunuch.

He walked into the study, and the monarch was looking at the book, and when he saw him come in, he put the book down and said, "You go to the military camp of the Tuyuan people, what do you need?"

Huo Qing said: "Weichen can bring two house slaves, no matter how much it is, it will have no effect." ”

Xinjun said: "Do you know that I don't want you to sue for peace, but to assassinate the leader of their Tuyuan people." ”

Huo Qing said: "Your Majesty has an order, and Weichen will go to the soup to fight the fire, and he will not give up, but with my meager martial arts, I am afraid that it will be difficult to succeed in assassination." ”

Xinjun took out a box and said slowly: "Do you remember that the Emperor Taishang offended the national teacher for a royal Taoist last year?" ”

Huo Qing hesitated: "Weichen remembers. ”

This matter can be said to be the key to the new monarch's smooth accession to the throne, and inside and outside the court, as the new monarch's regime is stable, no one gradually mentions this matter again.

Xinjun said: "The national teacher killed the king man, but did not take away the things on his body, and the widow found a few things from the king man, the box contained three red beads, there were originally four in total, but the widow had used one of them. Do you know that every red bead in it, after it is used, it will have the power of thunder and thunder. As long as you go to the tent of the leader of the Tuyuan people, use the red beads, and let them be buried in a thunderbolt. ”

Huo Qingxi said: "If it is really so powerful, Weichen will live up to His Majesty's trust." ”

Xinjun smiled and said, "Don't worry, the widow will also go with you." ”

Huo Qing exclaimed: "Your Majesty can't. ”

Xinjun said: "The widow is not greedy for life and afraid of death, and I have learned a new body method, called Tiyun Zong, this method is very magical, after we use the beads, relying on Tiyun Zong, there is still a chance to escape." Tonight, you will practice Tiyun Vertical with me, and tomorrow you will go out to the enemy camp, and you will have a better chance of survival. ”

Huo Qing said: "Your Majesty, if you are worried about me, you don't have to be like this, Weichen will definitely sacrifice his life and forget his death to complete this important task." ”

Xinjun said: "Of course I know that you will do your best, but the country is also a widow, how can a widow watch you throw your head and spill your blood alone, remember when I was the prince, we went out on a trip and were surrounded by a group of bandits, and the widow did not abandon you to escape alone, and it will not be today." ”

He held Huo Qing's hand tightly.

Huo Qing's heart was excited, and he only felt that His Majesty would immediately call him to die, and he would not frown.

Xinjun knew that assassinating the leader of the Tuyuan people was the only chance to win, otherwise the royal capital would be defeated sooner or later. After all, the gap in military strength cannot be bridged by boosting morale.

These Tuyuan people are like wolves and tigers, once they break through the royal capital, they will turn the entire royal capital into a Shura hell.

For the sake of the people of the country, he can only fight to the death, behead his enemies, and make the Tuyuan people themselves chaotic.

If he didn't have the red beads he received from the king's man, he wouldn't be sure that he would be able to do this, and if he didn't have Tiyunzong, he wouldn't have any chance of surviving if he did it.

It is precisely because of seeing the treasures on the royal people that Xinjun has a more intuitive understanding of people like national teachers. They are the ones who can turn things around on their own.

For that kind of power, Xinjun also wants to master. The reason why he is looking for a national teacher is precisely this.

Compared with the old monarch, the new monarch's horizons are really broad. When you see the power of a monk, you will not be afraid of ordinary people, but full of curiosity and exploration.

Tiyun has both breathing methods, and after they practiced all night, they were still in good spirits.

Xinjun disguised himself and went to the Tuyuan people's barracks with Huo Qing.

Whenever two countries are at war, they will not avoid seeing each other's envoys, because war is bound to have demands. After searching their bodies and finding no weapons, the general of the Tuyuan people, Wu Feng, met Huo Qing and them in the commander's tent.

As soon as the new monarch was sure that the identity of the snakehead was true, he unceremoniously threw the red beads out, and a thunderbolt explosion nearly razed the tent to the ground.

Ji Xiao looked at the mountain and said to the girl beside him: "This monarch is very bold. ”
