"I have a doubt. ”

"Xiguan was defeated, the western barrier was breached, and the sixteen-character battalion died 36,000 armor on the border of the Western Regions, and one of the ten escaped back to Xiguan. ”

The war report said...... The border of the Western Regions, the handover of Xiguan, the place of battle, the mountains and fog, extremely hidden, Jiang Qingyi was ambushed by the beast tide of the Western Regions, which led to this defeat. ”

The day when the tedious matters of Beiku Sudao were completed.

The City Lord's Mansion, His Highness, His Royal Highness, Second Highness, and Qi Shu have all arrived here.

Yi Xiao frowned and said seriously: "I know there." ”

He pointed to the huge topographic map hanging on one of the walls of the City Lord's Mansion, and on the ancient parchment scroll, he circled the specific location of the defeat of 36,000 armor in the western barrier.

One horse flat river.

A plain.

Wei Lingshan was beside Yi Xiao and said softly: "When I was in Luoyang, Xuan Shangyu told me that here, the border of Xiguan is twenty miles deep, a big snowfield, the wind is strong and there are no mountains, the snow is extremely strong, and the bad luck is flowing. ”

The purple robe said...... In this terrain, there are no mountains to rely on, and birds cannot fly. ”

The county lord said the last four words with a somewhat complicated face.

Birds can't fly.

The phoenix spreads its wings and folds its wings here.

Xiao Buyi and Xiao Chongding did not speak.

"What's next...... It's just a guess on my part. ”

Yi Xiao took a deep breath.

"You should have heard that the Northern Plains Royal Court, in the previous time, had been annexed by the King of Mobei. ”

Everyone in the room nodded slightly.

His Royal Highness stretched out a finger and slowly moved on the hanging parchment scroll, moving to the Northern Plains, which was even more barren and cold than the Western Regions, beyond the Northern Wei Dynasty.

The Beiyuan Royal Court, one of the four royal courts, the Mobei Royal Court, with the support of the Northern Wei forces represented by Yan Xiaoqi, almost swallowed and swept the other three royal courts as a king.

That King of Mobei, during the period of the Eight Great Powers, was a great figure.

The reckless characters who rise between the micro and the end should not be underestimated.

"That Mobei King, I heard ......" Yi Xiao pondered the words and said slowly: "He seems to have great magical powers that can manipulate the weather and terrain in the great snowfield. ”

Qi Shu nodded after hearing this, and echoed: "Tianque's information will not be false. ”

His Royal Highness took a deep breath and said, "The reason why I want to gather everyone today and talk about this matter is because I have an ominous premonition. ”

He rubbed his eyebrows, suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and said to the few people present: "If nothing happens, the three of us brothers will soon set off and prepare to return to Lanling City, Mr. Qi Shu will also return to Lanling City to deal with some central matters, and Lanling City will send a part of Qi Liang's core pillars to assist the King of Xining and properly arrange the remaining details after arriving in Beigusu Road." ”

Yi Xiao frowned.

"Maybe it's because of some hunch, I don't think these words are unpleasant. ”

He clutched the sleeve of his lotus coat with one hand, and his fingertips kept pointing at the parchment scroll through the sleeve.

Starting from the Mobei Royal Court, he kept moving, following the movements of his fingertips, Yi Xiao kept opening his mouth and tapping his knuckles.

"The Mobei Royal Court has completed the confluence of the Northern Plains, Yan Xiaoqi is the biggest hero, the female King of Yama is said to have killed more than 1,000 people in each of the three royal courts by herself, with a killing god like her in charge, even the current Mobei Royal Court has to be intimidated by her fierceness, not to mention the behemoth standing behind Yan Xiaoqi. ”

"Yan Xiaoqi is Cao Zhixuan's dead soldier and one of the biggest chess pieces on the purple-robed chessboard. ”

"When Yan Xiaoqi supported the King of Mobei to defeat the Northern Plains, this royal court that existed in name only has actually become a chess piece on the purple-robed chessboard. ”

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas can hide demonic energy, but it can't turn an entire snowfield into mountains and rivers, and hide the body of demon beasts. ”

"The only one who can do this is the King of Mobei. ”

"If you dig deeper......

When Yi Xiao's words came to this, the meaning could no longer be clear.

Go without saying.

Everyone's faces were a little strange.

His Highness stood up abruptly and subconsciously raised his voice.

"Ren Ping is dead and dead!"

"The western barrier is broken!"

"Half of the Sixteen Character Battalion is dead! Xiguan ...... I don't know how many people died!"

"It's ridiculous...... This, what good is this for the Northern Wei Dynasty?"

Xiao Chongding's face was very ugly.

He already understood what Yi Xiao wanted to say, what he meant.

But all this, for no reason, no reason.

There is no reason for the purple robe to betray the country and collaborate with the enemy.

And the means of colluding with the demon clan, colluding, and killing the soldiers of Xiguan are too inferior and shameless.

"Whether it is Qi Liang or the Northern Wei Dynasty, they don't have an in-depth understanding of the demon clan, and no one knows what kind of magical powers the 'Classic of Mountains and Seas' has. His Royal Highness's voice was a little hurried, and he said, "If you can move mountains, if you can do all this, what is the point of these fantasies you just mentioned?"

Yi Xiao was silent.

He shook his head and said, "You're right, it doesn't make sense. ”

His Royal Highness looked at the eldest brother.

Xiao Chongding is still too naïve.

Mr. Qi Shu and Xiao Buyi's faces were fine, but they were a little weird.

The meeting in the City Lord's Mansion was very short.

After this sentence, there was silence.

Xiao Chongding was also silent.

He seemed to understand what he really meant.

When everyone understood what Yi Xiao meant.

This meeting, which was attended by only a few people, really had no meaning.

......

......

"To exist is to be reasonable. ”

"If there is the slightest possibility, you can't help but guess. What if it comes true?"

The city lord's mansion in Beigusu Province is brightly lit.

Xiao Buyi and Mr. Qi Shu hurriedly walked in the corridor.

"I was a little surprised that His Highness suddenly came up with this idea. Qi Shu lowered his eyebrows, walked to his mansion, opened a door, and invited His Royal Highness to sit in the house.

After closing the door, he stood quietly for a moment, then suddenly turned his head and asked.

"Second Highness will return to the city tomorrow?"

Xiao Buyi nodded slightly.

"A big wedding is a good thing, don't spoil your mood because of trivial things. Qi Shu said softly: "If it is possible, Qi Shu is willing to spare time to be the master of ceremonies for His Royal Highness." ”

Xiao Buyi was a little bored, and took a deep breath: "Mr. Qi Shu, you and I both understand what Yi Xiao said, what exactly does it mean, why bother trying to tear the burden off the other party's shoulders?"

"Yes. ”

There was a slight flicker in Qi Shu's eyes: "Qi Shu is clumsy, I don't know if I thought of it with His Second Highness......"

"I know what you're trying to say. Xiao Buyi covered his lips, coughed weakly several times in a row, and said, "Duzi...... It's a redemption. ”

"Ren Ping is dead and dead. ”

"The western barrier is broken. ”

"A lot of people died in Xiguan. ”

"What's in it for the Northern Wei Dynasty?"

He shook his head and repeated Xiao Chongding's words with some self-deprecation.

That's what everybody thinks.

Qi Shu took Xiao Buyi's words.

He muttered, "But this is ...... for the Northern Wei Dynasty What's the harm?"

......

......

Is it a good thing that Ren Ping lives?

Is it a good thing that the western barrier is still there?

"What the Northern Wei Dynasty wants is Jiang Qingyi, and it's just Jiang Qingyi, it's been the case from beginning to end, the Northern Wei Dynasty needs a person who can take over Li Qing's heavy responsibility, Jiang Qingyi is very suitable, because he is a person from Luoyang, and when he takes over Xiguan one day, he doesn't have to worry about this area with the most powerful combat power breaking away from Luoyang's control. ”

But Ren Pingsheng was by Jiang Qingyi's side, and Jiang Qingyi has gradually begun to become different from before. ”

"If this continues, he will become the next Li Qing. But Xiguan will never become Cao Zhixuan's Xiguan. ”

"For Qi Liang, Feng Sui is lost, and it doesn't seem so difficult to accept. ”

"So all of us...... It is a matter of course that the West Barrier is completely different from the Beacon, and it is impossible to lose this city if Xiguan wants to fight to the death and defend it. ”

"200,000 beasts are attacking the city, if Jiang Qingyi doesn't rush forward and wants to defend it, even if he sacrifices his 40,000 sixteen-character battalion, he may not be able to defend the western barrier. ”

"For Luoyang, how many people died in Xiguan is just a number. ”

"As long as you can bear it, then you can hold it, and if you can't keep it, is it really that important?"

"Ren Ping is alive and dead, Jiang Qingyi once can't see the truth, he will once take the Western Regions as his lifelong revenge, and now Feng Xiao, who has lost all his help, has only the only backing, that is, Luoyang. ”

"The man of the Cao family who helped him at a critical time can give him a chance to start over, and then support him to return to Xiguan, and finally become the second Li Qing. ”

And then ...... Hold on to Xiguan. ”

In a word.

Both were silent.

Xiao Buyi's voice was hoarse: "Very strange logic. ”

Qi Shu's face turned pale: "But...... It makes sense. ”

"He always thinks differently than ordinary people. His Royal Highness closed his eyes and thought about Yi Xiao's words, mannerisms, movements, and demeanor when he spoke.

It's like worrying about something.

There are also some words that are not spoken.

Xiao Buyi coughed a few times in a dull manner, no longer thinking about it, but looking at Qi Shu: "Father's health doesn't seem to be good recently, it's approaching the end of the year, I should go back." After Feng Sui gave up, Qi Liang could not change to all changes, and some things, inconsequential, just let him go. ”

Qi Shu didn't nod or shake his head.

"No one knows what the purple robe thinks. ”

"A few days ago, Xiguan was also sitting in the position of today's Beigusu Road, and the barrier was broken overnight. ”

He was a little annoyed: "The current situation is complicated, forgive me...... Can not see clearly. If so......"

The second half of the sentence is not spoken.

Xiao Buyi knew what he wanted to say.

It would be nice if the teacher was there.
