In the imperial palace, the second prince walked to the door of Lingxiao Pavilion from His Royal Highness Xia Yunhai and knelt on one knee.

"Son-in-law Xia Yunhai, I am ordered to meet my father"

Xia Hanhuang's voice came from inside the Lingxiao Pavilion: "Come in!"

"Squeak!" Xia Yunhai pushed open the door and walked in, and the palace maid behind closed the door.

In the main hall, Xia Hanhuang sat at the table and looked at the game of chess in front of him, and was puzzled, and when he saw Xia Yunhai coming over, he just motioned for him to sit opposite.

"Yunhai, how do you see this chess move next?"

Xia Yunhai sat opposite, then looked at the chessboard and smiled: "This look is the emperor's chess moves, the moves are calm but the moves are deadly." ”

"The emperor often said that you are the closest to him in chess, so do you think this game can be solved?" Xia Hanhuang looked at Xia Yunhai and asked.

Xia Yunhai started and fell: "Remove a black seed, add a white seed, it is balance, and it can only be a draw, if it is broken, you can only lose both!"

"Haha, sure enough, there is the style of an emperor's chess master" Xia Hanhuang smiled happily, just like his father saw the proud appearance of his excellent son.

Then Xia Hanhuang took a sip of tea and muttered, "How does Yunhai think it is balanced?

"If the foundation is insufficient, then if you don't fight, don't advance, don't retreat, you will lose!" Xia Yunhai replied truthfully, and he also understood what his father meant.

"So, if you enter, how should you enter, and how should you fight?" Xia Hanhuang looked at Xia Yunhai and asked seriously

Xia Yunhai hesitated for a moment, and then let out a long breath, "Small advance, small dispute, is balance"

"Yunhai, do you know what your queen mother said to your father when she was playing in the imperial garden some time ago?"

Xia Hanhuang stood up, then looked out the window, no longer as an emperor, but in a father's tone, and said, "Your queen mother said, family and everything is prosperous!"

"Although we are the royal family of the Xia clan, there is one truth in the whole world, just like your mother said, family and everything can be prosperous!"

"Erchen understands that although the father is at ease," Xia Yunhai said on one knee.

Emperor Xia Han nodded, then helped Xia Yunhai up and patted him on the shoulder, "My queen mother has also designated many concubines for me, but my father and emperor don't count them, only your mother and your brothers and sisters are the ones I love the most."

"The four of you, your eldest brother is the most proficient in the way of the court and can take care of the overall situation, and you are the most stable, smartest and most capable, Feng'er is the youngest childish one and the most gentle, and Xi'er girl is the most caring!"

Saying that, Xia Hanhuang glanced at Xia Yunhai, "How long has it been since I held a family banquet?

"Father, the son knows it" Xia Yunhai nodded.

Xia Hanhuang turned around and sat on a chair, he picked up a notebook and smiled, "Family affairs are over, it's time to talk about state affairs."

"The Jiuyang Empire is now becoming more and more unscrupulous, and a military report came from the military aircraft department, saying that Jiuyang quietly killed a hundred-person team of the empire on the tenth day of the first month, and a trade horse team"

Xia Yunhai nodded on the side, and then said, "Then Erchen's news can also be confirmed."

"What's your news?" Xia Hanhuang looked at Xia Yunhai and asked.

"According to the news that Erchen got that Jiuyang avoided Jiangnan, and wantonly stationed troops to transport grain on the corresponding land border of Wanzhou on the left side of Jiangnan, and most of the war horses on the grassland this year were also transported to Jiuyang through the cargo roads of various states, which is not a good sign!"

After Xia Yunhai finished speaking, he thought about it and continued to speak, "And if Jiuyang intends to avoid the Xiao family in Jiangnan, then Wanzhou on the left and Jizhou on the right are indeed Jiuyang's first choice to attack Tianlan, after all, the forces of the two states are not too strong!"

After hearing this, Xia Hanhuang took a sip of tea and nodded

"But Xiao Changfeng won't give them a chance, with Jiangnan as the center, the surrounding states and Zhennan Wangfu can give support in the fastest time, Jiuyang wants to attack Tianlan is not so easy!"

"I'm worried that if Jiuyang is determined to attack with the whole country's troops, how long can the Xiao family in the south of the Yangtze River resist, if the troops are dispatched from various states, then Guiyun will take the opportunity to cross the Beihai, and the soldiers and horses of all states will go to resist Jiuyang, and Ji Mingyue in Beihai will not be able to stop Guiyun with only 50,000 sailors!"

After hearing this, Xia Yunhai also couldn't help frowning, "Father is worried that Jiuyang and Guiyun will join forces?"

"It's not that it's not impossible, the Mo family army went to the northwest to defend the gate of the Central Plains, if the two countries join forces to attack the belly and back to the enemy, the Mo family army will not be able to come back in a short time, and it is impossible to take care of the left and right with the troops in Tianlan alone!" Xia Hanhuang said worriedly.

Then he looked at Xia Yunhai and smiled, "Mo Family's army, do you understand the significance of this army to our Xia clan now?"

"In fact, the Mo family army can not defend the northwest, the northwest is broken, and it is the three major empires of the Central Plains that are trampled by the barbarian horseshoe, not just me Tianlan, but if there is no Mo family army, then the Central Plains will not be able to hold at all, and once the Tianguan is broken and crosses the northwest, the first thing is that my Tianlan will be invaded by war, so this is a must-defend, who let me Tianlan occupy two-thirds of the land in the Central Plains!"

Saying that, Xia Hanhuang smiled helplessly, "Maybe many people won't understand, I don't deny that I think the Mo family army will threaten me Tianlan in the Central Plains, but if I don't put the Mo family army in the northwest, then what should happen to the Central Plains country?

"Father, the son understands!" Xia Yunhai nodded thoughtfully.

Emperor Xia Han glanced at him, then was silent for a moment, and then said: "Yunhai, in addition to the five major legions established by the first emperor, our Xia clan royal family should also have some other troops that belong to our own lineage, and like the five major legions, they are only in our own hands!"

"I will issue a holy decree to allow you to recruit troops in various places, limited to 50,000, and give you the name of this army: leave the summoning army, only follow the call of the king, and protect my Xia royal family......"

Xia Yunhai was stunned for a moment, and then knelt on the ground violently: "Thank you, Emperor Longen!"

"Go and prepare, tomorrow I will send Master Gao to pass on your holy decree, and then I will announce to the ministers in the early court, what you need will talk to the six departments and the military aircraft!"

Xia Hanhuang smiled after speaking, and then he waved his hand, "Let's go down first!"

"Erchen retire!!" Xia Yunhai bowed to Emperor Xia Han, then turned around and left Lingxiao Pavilion.

Looking at the back of Xia Yunhai leaving, Emperor Xia Han muttered, "I hope this can create the balance you said, Emperor!!"

............

In the Yuzhou City Assassin's Mansion in Yuzhou City, an old man about fifty years old was pacing back and forth in the main hall, his brows tightly locked, as if he was worried about something.

The old man is this Yuzhou Thorn Master Wei Ning, Wei Ning looked at the token in his hand that was sent by the Liu family in Jiyang City, and he felt that the sky was spinning in his head, what is this token? He can not know Mo Ling, he can not know that this is the imitation of Mo Ling, there is only one Mo Ling in the world, but he must know the pattern and symbol of the fire unicorn.

In addition to the royal family using the dragon as the emblem, there is also a family that dares to use the unicorn side by side with the dragon as the family emblem? There is the banner of the army that dares to use the unicorn as the military emblem?

"You said that this token was given to your family master by a young man?" Wei Ning said as he looked at the person who came to deliver the message from the Liu family.

The messenger of the Liu family knelt on the ground and nodded violently, "The little one doesn't dare to deceive Lord Thorn Shi"

"Do you know what the young man's name is?" Wei Ning asked reluctantly.

The messenger of the Liu family didn't dare to hesitate at all and said, "I've heard it, his name is Mo Fan."

"Poof!!" Wei Ning sat down on the chair, holding the letter he had just read in his hand and Mo Ling's forehead was sweating.

"Xu Zitong, this official can't save you, I hope you don't go too far!"

After speaking, Wei Ning immediately stood up and shouted, "Come on, gather troops, and go to Jiyang"

"My lord, are we going to fight when we gather our troops to Jiyang?" asked the guard outside the door.

Wei Ning gasped for breath and then patted his chest, "Get out of your mother's battle, Lao Tzu is going to meet someone"

"Meet someone??" The guard outside the door was also stunned, because he heard the word "greeting" used by Lord Thorn Shi.

In charge of the assassin history of the land of a state, who in this court is qualified to let the assassin of a state meet him? And in that small Jiyang City, could it be that a big man came to Weifu for a private visit? The guards thought so.

As if sensing the guard's thoughts, Wei Ning quickly walked out and didn't dare to delay any longer, leaving only a fluttering sentence that shocked the messenger and several guards

"Go to Jiyang City and meet His Royal Highness the Prince of the Mo Family in the Northwest!!"

............

Jiyang City, one of the three major families, is the residence of the royal family.

Today's Wang family mansion is very lively, and a large number of Wang family guards are gathering in a hurry.

Wang Peng, the head of the Wang family, is a burly man, and Jiyang City knows that Wang Peng has a bold personality and likes to make friends from all over the world, and the Lin family and the Liu family are world friends, so the three major families in Jiyang will never fight and coexist peacefully!

"Father, Uncle Lin and Uncle Liu have all sent people, saying that they are ready tonight!" Wang Peng's son said to him.

Wang Peng nodded, "Father knows"

Wang Peng's son is a teenager, about sixteen or seventeen years old, he is very handsome from Wang Peng, but the heroic spirit between the eyebrows is still very similar to his father, and his son Wang Pei also joined the army early, because he was born with a strength, and is good at making an extremely large ring knife, after the recommendation of the city lord's mansion, he became the captain of a team under the command of the Xiao family army of the Jiangnan Palace, and he also went to the battlefield at a young age and fought some small battles with Jiuyang!

"Father, if the three major families join forces to exert pressure, this Xu Zitong will also have to weigh it."

Wang Pei said something on the side, and then he looked at the guards in the courtyard and turned to his father and said, "Don't be too tough, otherwise you won't be able to get over your face, after all, you are too guarded!"

"Father understands, let's go" Wang Peng nodded, and then walked out of the mansion!

............

It's dark in Jiyang City, tonight's Jiyang is unusual, a large number of officers and soldiers are wandering on the streets, and the guards of the three major families are all pouring into the Liu family, and people with a heart also notice that this Jiyang is probably going to change the sky!

In the hall of the Liu family, Liu Jiangtao, Lin Wei, Wang Peng.

The heads of the three families have already arrived, and these three people are frowning, they are making a choice, if they really fight against the Taishou Mansion with the strength of the three families, then they will fight against the court, but they will be wiped out in a snap of their fingers.

But what Xu Feng did, the scum things, and the wedding banquet between Xu Feng and Lin Yun tomorrow, these are all reasons why they can't bear it anymore!

"Brother Liu, are we waiting for the people from the Taishou Mansion to come?" Lin Wei looked at Liu Jiangtao and said.

Liu Jiangtao nodded, and then said, "Let Yun'er stay in my Liu family, and we will definitely not hand over people after the people from the Taishou Mansion come tomorrow."

"If it really doesn't work, then it's fucking the opposite!" Wang Peng interjected on the side.

"Alas, it can only be like this, but you can't do anything unless you have to, I think Lord Taishou will give our three families a face" Liu Jiangtao was helpless and had to agree.

"The head of the house, the head of the house!!" a Liu family guard ran in and shouted, "Oh no, no!!"

"What's wrong?" asked Liu Jiangtao, glancing at him.

The guard gasped and said, "Xu Feng, Xu Feng is dead!"

"What?" Liu Jiangtao stood up as soon as he spoke, and Wang Peng and Lin Wei on the side also stood up in shock.

Liu Jiangtao strode over and picked up the guard, "Something to do with Childe?"

"Our people saw Gongzi go to the Taishou Mansion with his friends, and Gongzi led away many guards, and then his friends entered the Taishou Mansion, and then Xu Feng died!" the guards told Liu Jiangtao what they knew.

"Poof!!" Liu Jiangtao let go of his hand, and the guard fell to the ground, and Liu Jiangtao staggered back a few steps!

"It's over, it's over!"

Liu Jiangtao's eyes were red, and then he clenched his fists, "This time it's really, I have to do it back!"

"Brother Liu, it's the other way around, so that this Jiyang City will no longer be bullied by the Taishou Mansion!!" Wang Peng clenched his fists and shouted.

Lin Wei also shouted on the side, "Jing Ling's friend killed well, Xu Feng should die, and those lackeys of Xu Mansion should also die!"

"Alas!!" Liu Jiangtao sighed deeply, and then looked out the door with firm eyes, as if he had made a decision in his heart.

............

"A Sword Shines Cold"

"Whoosh!!" The sword light was raging, and the long sword in Liu Jingling's hand reaped the lives of these pursuers in the Taishou Mansion.

These people, none of them have not oppressed the people in Jiyang City, they are all domestic slaves of the Taishou Mansion and lackeys of the Xu family.

"Come on, since it's already started, I'm not afraid of any consequences!"

Liu Jingling's sword qi surrounded him and said, "Tonight, let's kill happily!"

"If it weren't for you lackeys, where would Xu Feng have the ability to bully the people, and where would he have the ability to bully people to break up me and Yun'er!!"

"Sword slaughter enemies"

"Whoosh!!" "Whoosh!!"

A sword light crossed the silent street, and the blood-stained son was no longer willing to back down, he wanted to seek justice for the people of Jiyang, and he also wanted to let these lackeys of Xufu, who had been high in the battle, be bullied by the sword......

......

On the other end, under the dark night, Mo Fan confronted the three of them with the Cold Moon Knife in his hand.

Who said that there are no masters in the Nuo Taishou Mansion, the three people in front of him are one and two are at the peak of the spirit, which is not a master to bully......

"Jianghu people, right? The rivers and lakes who are happy to enmity and revenge are not easy to mix, so they have to mix with these things in the court!"

Mo Fan looked at the three of them and sneered, "Shouldn't you be in the rivers and lakes?"

"Anyway, your death is approaching, so it doesn't hurt for you to use your tongue," the person from the Guiyi Realm led by the three said coldly.

Mo Fan smiled, and the cold aura that he held in his hand was like nothing.

Then Mo Fan grinned and said, "There are really a lot of people who want to kill me, don't I live to this point?"

"I just happened to be at a bottleneck, so you should be a stepping stone......"

"Whoosh!!" Mo Fan rushed up with the cold moon in his hand and shouted, "Tonight, he will be turned upside down!!"
