"Minister, thank you, Lord Longen!"

“......”

This decree has a great origin...

After the black-robed official announced the decree, Hong Potian did not hesitate to shout thanks, stood up and bowed slightly from the official's hand, and respectfully accepted the decree.

After handing over the holy decree, the black-robed official clasped his fists and said: "Congratulations to the Governor, congratulations to the Governor, congratulations to the Governor, and he has been named the King of Shenwu." ”

Hong Potian casually looked at the holy decree he received, and after confirming that it was correct, he rolled it up and held it in his hand. Although he was crowned king by the imperial court, his expression was still very calm, and he couldn't see much joy. The black-robed official congratulated, and he only smiled in response: "Your Majesty has given me such a generous knight, and I really deserve to break the sky." ”

"Nothing to be ashamed of. ”

The black-robed official arched his hand and smiled: "Your Majesty has a saying, most of the capital has been guarding Xinjiang for 20 years, and he is the first hero of the Tang Dynasty to protect the country. As he spoke, the tone of his words changed slightly, and the black-robed official asked carefully: "I don't know if the military god is an old man, is he in good health?"

"It's the same..."

Hong Potian smiled bitterly, not knowing if he could be silent for a moment, and there seemed to be a trace of concern in his eyes. After a moment of silence, he clasped his fists with both hands and pretended to apologize and said, "Lord Yu came thousands of miles away to announce the edict, and I am grateful for it. He has ordered people to prepare hot water jackets, wine and delicacies at the border camp, and when they leave the palace, someone will lead them there. It's just that Potian has been infected with wind recently, so it is not suitable to go out, and I am afraid that I will have to accompany him later. ”

"Uh..."

Something strange...

The seemingly powerful Governor of the Black Python Army, speaking politely and politely, is completely different from the style of the generals he met before, even if he is humble, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is comfortable. It's just that the black-robed official's holy decree was announced, and on behalf of the Son of Heaven, he gave a prince with a different surname above tens of thousands of people, and he didn't think about it, and after a few words, Hong Potian was going to issue an order to expel guests, which was very rude.

It's hard to figure out whether he doesn't care about the servant in front of him, or if he is really unwell and needs to rest, or something else...

The black-robed official secretly considered Hong Potian's words, but in the end he didn't come up with a reason. I had to bow my hand, and said: "The metropolitan governor is the pillar of the country, but you have to take care of it." Please wait for the subordinate official to say hello to the old man of the military god, and the subordinate official will not bother anymore. It's just that His Majesty ordered the officials to bring some Central Plains specialties, and Lao Dudu arranged for the two army masters to check them one by one. ”

"Hmm. ”

Hong Potian responded, stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation towards the temple door. Although the black-robed official was puzzled, he didn't say anything, and after a little salute, he turned around and slowly exited the hall...

Looking at the departing figure, Hong Potian's calm and cold eyes suddenly flashed sharp, like two sharp ice spikes. It's like a lurking python, holding its head and spitting snake letters.

"Congratulations to the Governor. ”

"Congratulations to the Governor. ”

When the black-robed official walked away from the main hall, behind the screen in the right ear hall of the hall, the two of them quietly walked out...

One person is tall and thin, with a face like a crown of jade, wearing a scarf on his head, wearing a crane, holding a goose feather black feather fan, delicate and elegant. One person is tall and strong, eight feet long, ten girths around the waist, full of beards, wearing black python armor, and he is very brave when he looks at it.

The two walked out, and they both saluted Hong Potian to congratulate him.

Hong Potian disagreed, and retracted his cold gaze: "What joy is there?"

The beautiful Confucian shook the black feather fan lightly and said with a smile: "No one has been crowned king in the Tang Dynasty for 20 years, and the governor of the capital is a special exception. Since then, the male Jiao has turned into a dragon, above the common people, in charge of the territory of Dongzhou, and inherited the glory of generations. How can you not like it?"

Hong Potian remained silent, and asked the black python general in a blink of an eye: "Then Hong Chu, what are you happy about?"

"Haha!"

The black python general known as Hong Chu stood on his beard, laughed loudly, and said in a bold voice: "Haha, didn't the military advisor say it a few years ago? Our big black python has become a trend, and he is not afraid of any male lord in the world! What is lacking is the name of dominating the world, so he can only be trapped in this northern pass and wait for the wind and rain to come." And now that the name of the hegemon is here, the governor has been named the king of Shenwu, and our Hong family is the royal family, in charge of the territory of Dongzhou, and can defend the north when we retreat, and we can kill the world when we enter! How can you not like it?"

"Heh..."

Hong Potian smiled noncommittally, but he smiled tastelessly. He casually threw the holy decree in his hand to the cabinet next to him, and then slowly sat down on the handsome desk in the center of the main hall.

Seeing this, the Qingxiu Confucian seemed to guess what the governor was worried about: "The governor has something on his mind?"

"Yes, there are. ”

"You're worried that this throne won't sit well, right?"

"Exactly. ”

Hong Potian did not evade and admitted it directly.

He spread out the military strategy map placed on the platform, took a cursory look at it, and said: "The territory of Dongzhou has always been jointly led by the three major clans of Hong, Xia, and Wu, and it is divided into the northern, southern, and eastern regions. Although since the First World War 20 years ago, that person escaped into the north, coupled with the encirclement and suppression 12 years ago, the Nanxia River Valley no longer exists. But, there is still a dance clan in the east of Dongzhou..."As he spoke, Hong Potian raised his head and turned his eyes to look at the beautiful Confucian, and then asked slowly: "You say, how can I be stable?"

"What the Governor said was true. ”

said yes, but the smile of the beautiful Confucian didn't seem to mean it at all. He smiled and walked a few steps forward to the handsome platform, then held the feather fan upside down, and used the handle of the fan to point at the Dongzhou Dance Clan on the military strategy map, then to the central area of the Southern Regions, and finally to the northernmost part of the map. Fang Cai asked vaguely: "It's just that the Metropolitan Governor doesn't seem to understand the holy will, right?"

Seeing the point of view of the beautiful Confucian, Hong Potian seems to have a clear meaning, but he is not surprised. The same vague said, "An Junxin, drive the python to swallow the fox, Dingdongzhou, right?"

The beautiful Confucian shook his head with a smile: "No, no." ”

"The emperor's mind is also the way of weighing. Now that the python has become a dragon, if the dragon swallows the fox again, it will really soar into the sky and turn into a dragon. How can a person who occupies the throne be so powerful? The Metropolitan Governor must not forget that in addition to the fox, there is also a fierce tiger in front of us. ”

Hong Potian didn't think much about it, and then said slowly: "Drive the python to swallow the fox, the tiger will swallow the python, and the three will be defeated, he wants to take the opportunity to cut my military power in the north." ”

"That's right. The Qingxiu Confucian nodded calmly: "That's right." ”

"Humph!"

The black python general named Hong Chu had an epiphany as he spoke, and snorted angrily: "Then he just wants our old Hong family to be a fool!" The black python general walked in two steps, came to the front of the general's platform, picked up a brush casually, and stabbed it vigorously in the center of the military strategy map!

"Hmph! According to me, since he is unkind, then don't blame our old Hong family for being unjust! Isn't he the governor of Dadu and you the king of Shenwu? I think this is good, let's go along with him, take the big black python back to his hometown in Dongzhou, and then gather the children of all ethnic groups to find a peaceful day, cross the White Bone Mountain Range, and directly enter his Chang'an, Kyoto! I think he will dare to do it!"

"Smack!"

The black python general said angrily, Hong Potian slapped away his big hand pressed on the military strategy map with hatred, and reprimanded with a black face, "How many times have I told you, you can't be rash for the general." Use your brains more, even if we are in Chang'an, do you think we can enter the city?"

"Hmph, why not?"

It seems that the relationship between this general surnamed Hong and Hong Potian is extraordinary, and he actually dares to angrily confront his top boss in front of him: "We have tens of millions of pythons, who can stop them in the whole world? Are you still afraid that he will not succeed in the mediocre soldiers of Tiance Mansion and Cangyun Castle? Even if he has hundreds of millions of troops, we can destroy him in half a month, so why be afraid!"

Hating iron does not make steel, it is angry and helpless.

Hong Potian lightly pulled out the brush that stabbed into the desk, and said helplessly: "Those mediocre soldiers are certainly not afraid. But, what about the Tower of Babel, and what about the Four Holy Army?"

"Well, this..."

The general surnamed Hong was immediately speechless when asked.

yes, what about the Tower of Babel and the Four Holy Army?

He was so angry that he forgot the two most powerful names hidden in the deepest part of the Son of Heaven's feet.

Back then, the great strategist of Beimang poured all his strength into the whole clan and a supreme killing god who almost wanted to kill all the saints in the world, but he was blocked outside Chang'an City by a tower of Babel, and he couldn't take half a step. And although the current Black Python Army is the first strong force in the Tang Dynasty, it is not afraid of any male lord in the world, but if it is compared with the killing god in the heyday of the year, there is still a considerable gap. Even he can't conquer Chang'an City in Kyoto, how can a black python be able to conquer it?

"Metropolitan Governor, this time you may be wrong to blame Hong Chu. ”

"Oh?"

Just when the general surnamed Hong was ashamed of his recklessness, the beautiful Confucian suddenly helped with a word for no reason.

Hong Potian frowned slightly, although he didn't understand why the Confucian would help Hong Chu speak, he knew that the Confucian in front of him would never tell a lie.

"Why did the military advisor say that?"

The goose feather black feather fan shook up, and the beautiful Confucian replied with a smile: "Although Xu Chu is reckless, today's strategy is very clever." ”

Hong Potian raised his head and looked at the Qingxiu Confucian suspiciously: "Please also ask the military advisor to speak clearly." ”

"Cryptic and unclear. ”

Qingxiu Confucian said: "The fact that the Black Python Army can't capture Kyoto doesn't mean that no one can break through Kyoto. Since His Majesty wants to sit and watch the tiger fight, why doesn't the Metropolitan Governor play a dragon and tiger battle according to his wishes?"

"What do you mean?"

"The northern python chased the eastern fox and released the tiger into the Central Plains. The python chases the fox, chases without harming. When the tiger enters the Central Plains, it will kill the Quartet. Governor, you say, 'Who is the winner?'
