Han Shuo stood outside the battalion commander and walked in a standard soldier's rank, and his voice was like a bell.

"Minister, Han Shuo, I specially came to meet His Royal Highness the War King!"

Han Shuo was followed by a group of soldiers, and they also saluted together.

"Meet His Highness the War King!"

It's huge, I don't know. I thought they were here to make trouble.

Inside the tent, Xiao Yiyan spoke lightly, "Come in." ”

Xiao Jingyi was so anxious that he jumped to his feet.

"Fifth Emperor Brother, why did you let him in! That guy ......"

Before he finished his words, Han Shuo had already come in.

Seeing Xiao Yiyan on the throne, Han Shuo saluted again, "War King." ”

Xiao Jingyi moved to Xiao Yiyan's side and looked at him vigilantly.

is only in his twenties, less than thirty, but he looks like he is in his forties.

Old-fashioned, tall and strong, looking fierce and vicious, as expensive as a black face.

The beard is raza, and I don't know how many years it hasn't been shaved.

Xiao Jingyi cast a gaze for help at Xiao Yiyan.

Fifth Emperor Brother, do you see it, I'm not exaggerating at all.

Just like that, are you willing to let me go with him?

After Han Shuo took his seat, he feasted and drank a lot.

The bold and vulgar style made Xiao Jingyi even more unbearable.

"General Han, I won't tell you anything, this prince is not interested in marching and fighting, and he is even more unaccustomed to the ghost place in Xuancheng.

"So, this prince will go to ...... with his father"

"Seventh prince, I won't tell you anything, this general is most annoyed by a shy recruit like you, and he is a prince, and he will be wiped out by the nine clans if he takes his life......"

"Presumptuous!Who do you say are the girls!!" Xiao Jingyi suddenly became angry, eager to splash wine on his face.

What the hell?

He's obviously a man!

Damn, I'm blind!

Besides, this guy wants to kill people?

Han Shuo was used to being free and casual, but he was respectful to the emperor and Xiao Yiyan.

is just a Xiao Jingyi, he doesn't bother to please at all.

"You thin arms and thin legs, at first glance, you are not a soldier, save it, hurry up and tell your father that you don't want to go to Xuancheng. ”

With that, he grabbed a piece of meat in his hand, tilted his head, and tore it with his sharp teeth.

Looking at his beast-like posture, Xiao Jingyi dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak.

is so edible, if it weren't for the Fifth Emperor Brother here, this guy might not even let him go.

"Han Shuo, this prince is inseparable from you!"

Han Shuo chewed heavily, raised his head, and glanced at Xiao Jingyi.

At this glance, Xiao Jingyi was so frightened that he hurriedly stood beside Xiao Yiyan again.

Yo ho! How dare you stare at him!

"Get out. Xiao Yiyan squinted at Xiao Jingyi, and his tone was extremely flat.

Although Xiao Jingyi didn't know what the Fifth Emperor Brother had to talk about with Han Shuo, he still left obediently.

Inside the tent, Han Shuo stopped eating and his eyes became serious.

"Lord, the minister heard that the envoys of the southern kingdom have been staying in Beiyan for a few months, and the emperor is seriously ill and will not recover, and if it continues like this, I am afraid that there will be variables in the southern country. ”

Xiao Yiyan's eyes were slightly cold, "The variable in the south lies in Hua Jiuque. If others are in Beiyan, they don't have to worry about anything else. ”

Han Shuo wiped his hands, his voice coarse.

"A large number of assassins from the southern kingdom infiltrated Northern Yan in order to take the life of Hua Jiuque. This is the biggest variable.

"On the day the minister returned to the city, Hua Jiuque suffered an assassination, which shows that his situation in Beiyan is very dangerous. ”

Xiao Yiyan picked up the wine glass and covered up the upward curvature of the corners of his mouth in a drinking posture.

The group of assassins mentioned by Han Shuo were undoubtedly Swing News.

He was still stupidly worried about others, and it is estimated that he still didn't know that the target of Qiu Qianxun's assassination was not Hua Jiuque, but him, General Weiyuan.

Han Shuo seriously proposed, "The minister believes that we should protect the three princes of the southern kingdom and promote peace talks with the southern kingdom, so as not to have too many dreams at night." ”

"Well, protection. Xiao Yiyan smiled secretly.

Especially when I saw Han Shuo's serious appearance.

There is still work to protect others.

Does he think he's safe now?

"Protecting Hua Jiuque, is that what the emperor meant? Xiao Yiyan regained his normal color and asked calmly.

Han Shuo nodded heavily, "Yes." The emperor ordered his ministers to transfer the troops stationed outside the city into the city. ”

He didn't think about it so much, and he knew everything about Xiao Yiyan.

Xiao Yiyan's chin pressed slightly, and asked, "What about the palace, there is no need to send additional troops?"

"The minister brought 10,000 troops, half of which were used to protect the three princes of the southern kingdom, and the other half was responsible for secretly guarding the masters in the palace. ”

Han Shuo didn't understand the emperor's true intentions, and expressed his thoughts with deep understanding.

"The minister thinks that there are many guards in the palace and the guards are heavily guarded, and there is no need to send additional manpower at all, since it is to protect the three princes of the southern kingdom, then all the troops should be arranged in the post house. ”

"Well, that's good. Xiao Yiyan was noncommittal, with a smile in his eyes.

It turned out that Han Shuo really didn't understand the emperor's intentions.

Protecting Hua Jiuque is just a reason to let 10,000 troops enter the city.

What he really wanted Han Shuo to do was to guard the palace.

This is simple.

I really don't know how he used to arrange his troops.

If you really want to arrange 10,000 troops to the post house, not to mention whether you can pretend to be able to pretend or not, it is estimated that the South Congress thinks that they will take care of Hua Jiuque and imprison it.

"Lord Wang, the minister came here this time, and there is one more thing to ask. Han Shuo took a sip of wine and moistened his throat.

Say. ”

"The minister led an army of 100,000 to garrison Xuancheng, and the expenses in all aspects were very large. But what is the reason why the military salaries assigned to us by the imperial court have not risen but have been lowered?"

Thinking that the soldiers under his hands were not hungry, Han Shuo was aggrieved.

Xiao Yiyan's pupils were deep, and he raised his eyelids lightly, "Grain and grass allocation, you should go to Duzhishangshu Temple." ”

"Du Zhishangshu muttered a little, he couldn't understand what they said at all, they said that the accounts were fine, and the military rations had always been right, but in fact, it was less in our hands. The minister was also very puzzled, and also reported the matter to the emperor.

"The minister also knows that it is common for the middle level to withhold. But the minister has already checked, but there is still no clue.

And the minister learned that not only Xuancheng, but also several other military camps had a similar situation.

"The minister's military adviser roughly estimates that when they are added together, there are 500,000 taels of silver every year, and it is as if it has flown away, and there is no way to find it. These 500,000 taels are enough to feed a military camp. The minister believes that this matter is very important. ”

500,000 taels, if it is really swallowed by one person, it is indeed not a trivial matter.

Xiao Yiyan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he fell into deep thought.

Meanwhile.

Palace.

Jinxin reminded while grooming the queen.

"Niangniang, Han Shuo and the King of War have been talking for a long time, and they must have a plan. ”

The queen's expression was solemn, and her face turned ruthless when she thought of the road ahead.

"Han Shuo is stationed in Xuancheng, forgive him for not being able to set off much of a storm. But even if it's a small piece of meat, Hongu can't let it fall into someone else's mouth.

"You go and prepare some generous gifts in a while, send them to Han Shuo in the name of King Duan, and probe his tone. ”

"Yes, sis. Jin Xinfu bowed and retreated to the side.

"Mother, the slave has something to say. According to the spy, His Royal Highness the King of War has a very close relationship with Ye Jinzhi of the Marquis of Anyuan's Mansion, Ye Jinzhi often goes to the War King's Mansion, and today, he also drinks with the King of War in the barracks......"

The queen's voice was slightly cold, "Marquis Anyuan's mansion, Ye Jinzhi." The palace forgot that there is such a number one person. ”

It seems that Xiao Yiyan is preparing to move closer to the Marquis of Anyuan's mansion.

"Marquis Anyuan's old thing has always been one of the biggest troubles in the palace, since it can't be used by the palace, get rid of him as soon as possible. ”

"Yes. Then the slave and maid commanded it. ”
