In the deserted hall, there were two middle-aged people with little difference in age, both of them facing one side, but it was easy to see the dignity and humility of one after the other.

The same serious face was covered with thick ice, and neither of them spoke, so it was difficult for the other to say something first.

Originally, Xiao Chen, who was a courtier, should have opened his mouth to admit his mistake first, but now, in the face of this situation, Xiao Chen, who has always been smart and knows how to advance and retreat, has a temperament like a child, and competes with Su Wuxi, the emperor of the Haishi Empire, he is thinking, even if the mistake will be counted on my head, you won't let me speak first, just look at the result, don't ask the original intention, you treat me like this, I don't assist you!

As soon as the thought of such a thing came to mind, the emperor in front of him turned around a little impatiently, he was thinking, okay, you Xiao Chen, you really dare not give me the stairs.

The eyebrows are low and the one is high, which looks a little domineering, Su Wu regrets that the whole body can only be called a characteristic here, without him, the appearance of this generation of emperors is really ordinary to ordinary, not as outstanding as the other heirs of the Su family.

"Brother Xiao, do you want me to open my mouth first to admit my mistake to you?"

The emperor's voice, which was as high as his eyebrows, frightened Xiao Chen, that is, there were only two people at this time, Xiao Chen also immediately shrank his neck, glanced around, and coughed embarrassedly.

Glancing at Xiao Chen angrily, Su Wuxi raised his eyes a little, he was thinking, I still want to fix you, but use you first.

With a long sigh, Xiao Chen, who was still in the temper of a child just now, came to his senses and returned to the appearance of a courtier.

"Your Majesty, it's the fault of Weichen!"

Respectfully and solemnly, but he smiled, Xiao Chen said.

In other words, it was the unforgivable mistake of others, but Xiao Chen didn't take it to heart at all, and still laughed.

What mistake did Xiao Chen make? It is not a mistake to say that he is wrong, but the fault lies in the fact that something went wrong -- the empire has been defeated!

Compared with the frequent good news before, as soon as this result reached Haishi City, Xiao Chen should have changed from a hero to a criminal, because of this sin, he didn't bear it, but Su Wu didn't hesitate to bear it.

"What did you tell me in the first place?"

Su Wuxi's voice was a little urgent, and the whole person was even a little exaggerated, and walked a few steps towards Xiao Chen.

His brows furrowed together, and Xiao Chen smiled bitterly on his face.

"Praise Nie Tianyang to heaven! Let me hand over the military power to him! I painstakingly removed all obstacles and handed over the military power to him, and he repaid me like this? If you weren't standing here now, I really doubt that you were colluding to embarrass me on purpose!"

Like a series of cannons, Su Wu was angry and reprimanded him with a head and face.

It is not terrible to lose a war, what is really terrible is the chain reaction after the defeat, the heaven and the earth are in a duel, and the real result has not yet been produced.

Su Wuxi didn't cut people in a rage because Xiao Chen could still laugh.

Of course, if you dare to laugh, you must dare to laugh.

"Your Majesty, this war has not been lost. ”

Knowing that Su Wuxi was asking for a strategy from himself in disguise, Xiao Chen secretly laughed in his heart.

Heaven and Earth Xiongguan was the site of the decisive battle, but it was not the place where the war began. Six months ago, the Heavenly Wind Empire marched eastward, and it was Li Si who led his troops to provoke the war.

The battlefield is located on the border of the Haishi Empire, the mountain. And the Heaven and Earth Xiongguan is the closest checkpoint to the hinterland of the Tianfeng Empire.

This big war, which lasted for nearly half a year and spanned two quarters, except for the beginning, almost all of the battles involving six cities took place on the land of the Heavenly Wind Empire!

This is also the reason why at the time of the decisive battle, compared to the squandering of energy, the army of Haishi will be defeated.

The supply is insufficient, which is understandable under the premise of going deep alone.

"If he came and dispatched, Li Si would not be so easy to turn back the situation, besides, the minister praised Nie Tianyang, not because he was high, but because he was indeed worthy. ”

frowned, understanding that there was a mystery in Xiao Chen's words, and Su did not hesitate to answer.

"What do you mean?"

With a mysterious smile, Xiao Chen slowly unfolded a letter and presented it to Su Wuxi.

The footer of the snow-white paper was a little yellow, and it could be seen that Xiao Chen had looked at it and folded it several times. Each line of the paper is a single number, but a whole page is listed.

"Nie Tianyang's invasion of the Heavenly Wind Country was not just to chase down the defeated army, but also to leave a back hand for His Majesty. ”

Looking at Su Wuxi's slowly widening eyes and his already somewhat shocked expression, Xiao Chen spoke at the right time and said slowly.

The cold moonlight shone into the empty hall, crawling up to Xiao Chen's upper, only a candle flame beating, and Su Wuxi's shadow was stretched wide and wide. I don't know if it's because of the candle flame, and it trembles slowly.

Su Wuxi was not stupid, stared at the paper, and gradually understood what the scattered words on it meant.

After a while, the paper was closed, and Su did not hesitate to pace in front of Xiao Chen.

"Hmm...... This Nie Tianyang, do you think I'm going to kill it?"

The general who escaped from the battle was originally an undisputed execution, but now it made Su hesitate. Love and hate, crying and laughing, this is how Su Wuxi felt after reading the paper.

Xiao Chen, who had some fine beads of sweat in his palm, loosened his body, staring at the emperor in front of him who had to speak by himself, Xiao Chen thought about it.

“...... Kill, he must be killed, even if he has merit, it is not enough to offset the great sin committed......! If Your Majesty doesn't kill him, isn't he admitting that he doesn't know how to use people and that his punishment is not strict? ”

The tone was dragged out for a long time, and it was somewhat unpopular.

From the word 'kill' that Xiao Chen spoke, Su Wuxi's face was pulled down, and when he said, 'The employment is unknown, and the punishment is not strict', Su Wuxi's face was even more gloomy and about to drip water.

It is a happy event for a courtier to understand the monarch's mind, but it is a headache to be able to touch his temper as thoroughly as Xiao Chen.

"Xiao Chen, say it again, say not to kill!"

After a word, Su didn't hesitate to feign anger and said in a cold voice.

Looking at each other, Xiao Chen stared at Su Wuxi silently for a moment, and both of them couldn't help laughing.
