"Grandmother, that's too serious. I am the emperor, blessed by heaven. No one can compare to me. Ning Rongzhang will never achieve anything great..."

The Queen Mother nodded in satisfaction. She heard that Liu Huachao was stabbed to death by Ning Huaixuan himself. After the events of Prince Wu and Prince Changyou, the Emperor finally stopped looking at things as the love affairs between men and women. The Queen Mother was somewhat satisfied.

He turned around and said, "Xuan'er, you have to remember that only when you have supreme power can you do what you want..."

Ning Huaixuan bowed his head and said, "Grandmother is not feeling well. I will go and make arrangements first."

He Wei has been very busy these days. He has re-contacted his confidants in the Imperial Guards and even dug out those confidants who have been buried for many years. If he succeeds, he will gain fame and fortune, but if he fails, he will be wiped out.

"General, now in this palace, all the brothers want to follow you!" The deputy general came over and looked at He Wei whom he had not seen for a long time.

The latter laughed and spat fiercely on the ground, "I am also following your Majesty. As long as your Majesty is still the same Majesty, you can just tell your brothers to rest assured that we will all share the happiness."

"Hey, thank you, Brother He!"

After He Wei cleaned up the palace, the entire palace was relatively safe, but people outside had no idea what was going on in the palace.

After the carrier pigeon sent the letter, Ning Rongzhang opened the letter and finally replied, just asking people to wait patiently.

Qi Ze, the Dali Temple Minister, stared at the letter, quite puzzled, and said to himself, "Is he planning to let the emperor cause trouble? Is he going to ignore it? Is he waiting for the emperor to make a comeback and then execute him?"

Who knows what this guy is thinking.

Ning Huaixuan contacted He Wei and others in the palace, which suddenly made many people sent by the emperor in the court restless.

They wrote letters to Ning Huaixuan to express their loyalty, saying that they were just pretending to be submissive to King Changyou, but their loyalty to His Majesty was evident to all!

Ning Huaixuan looked at the letter full of nonsense and threw it to the ground casually, "A loyal heart is known to heaven and earth. In this case, you have to provide one of the people, money, and food..."

The eunuch who had been delivering meals to Ning Huaixuan became the eunuch who served the emperor. Then he heard Ning Huaixuan say, "Pass on my order. I will remember the contributions of all those who submitted memorials tonight and ask them to contribute manpower, money, and food. Without these, everything else is just empty talk."

The eunuch responded quickly and took the basket of memorials away. Silence returned to the hall, and then a series of graceful women walked in from outside the hall.

The eunuch said, "Your Majesty, this is a dancer that the Queen Mother carefully selected from the palace. The Queen Mother also said that Your Majesty still has no children. In order to stabilize the hearts of the ministers, Your Majesty needs to give birth to children for the royal family as soon as possible..."

Ning Huaixuan smiled and said, "I understand the Royal Grandmother's painstaking efforts. You all can leave now."

The eunuch bowed his head and said, "Yes."

The eunuchs in the palace retreated one by one, and then the dancers danced one by one, flying towards people like butterflies, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

"Your Majesty has worked hard today. Let us sisters take care of your Majesty tonight..."

Ning Huaixuan didn't say anything. He closed his eyes and enjoyed the service of this woman.

And then all night long, none of the dancers who were sent in left.

North

In the barracks

As the night deepens and the dew gets heavier, the north has gradually entered the chilly autumn season. The grass on the grassland is turning yellow, and the horses have nothing to eat, so they can only use their mouths to turn over the soil and chew dry grass roots.

The Luanzhou troops launched several small-scale battles in succession, but fortunately they were all repelled.

The Luanzhou army suffered repeated defeats, but they did not know why. Whenever they fought with the Dali Dynasty, they always felt that there were other armies assisting the Dali Dynasty.

Even their military deployment was leaked.

It's not that no one suspected that there was a spy in the Luanzhou tribe, but after a thorough investigation, no suspects were found. After all, only a few generals in the Luanzhou tribe knew about such confidential matters.

"Report - Great Protector, everyone who entered the mountain has disappeared."

Wu Yanhe frowned and said, "Missing again?!" He slammed his fist on the table, his dark eyes full of unwillingness, "It seems that there are still experts in the Dali Dynasty that we don't know about..."

Tie Huiyan asked, "Protector, do you want to continue investigating?"

Wu Yanhe said, "Of course, I want to see what tricks the Dali Dynasty is playing..."

"However, in my opinion, there is really no need for us to confront the Dali Dynasty head-on. The spies in the capital have sent a letter saying that the imprisoned emperor has become active again. I believe that their food and grass supply will be cut off soon. At that time, they will have to retreat..."

"That makes sense. It is said that the regent was a ruthless person, but he was unable to suppress the emperor. It seems that it is just a rumor."

There was another round of laughter from the crowd. Wu Yanhe had fought with Ning Rongzhang several times before. This man was quite scheming and unfathomable, and had the cunningness of the people from the Central Plains ingrained in his bones. If, due to a moment of carelessness, the palace in the rear became a mess and his own food supply was cut off, wouldn't that be laughable?

"Great Protector, what are you still worried about? The regent is just a figurehead. If we don't kill him, he won't make it to Kyoto alive. When the time comes, we will be at the gates of the city and we can take as many cities and slaves as we want. How can the cowardly emperor refuse to give them to us?"

Wu Yanhe tilted his head, "We haven't fought Dali many times before, not to mention the regent who controls the court. In short, we must not take it lightly."

After discussing the dispatch of troops, a letter from the Great Khan arrived outside the tent.

After reading the letter, Tie Huiyan said, "According to the Great Khan's intention, it would be better for us to win the battle as soon as possible. Autumn is coming and we don't have much food left. If we lose this battle, it is very likely that our Luanzhou tribe will not be able to survive the winter."

Eating has always been a big problem for them.

"That's true. We need to fight this battle quickly, otherwise the credit will be snatched away by the three kings again," one person said indignantly.

Wu Yanhe pressed his forehead and refused to be disturbed by them. The more he was at a loss for words, the more he had to see through the enemy's thoughts in order to defeat them with one move.

However, the group of people who often helped the Dali Dynasty at that time were very suspicious. "Tie Huiyan, send someone to see if the Manrong tribe has any second thoughts?"

Tie Huiyan was surprised for a moment, then returned to normal and said, "Yes."

The Manrong are determined to rely on the Luanzhou tribe for survival, and the Great Khan will definitely find a suitable opportunity to annex the Manrong.

He grew stronger step by step, and then became the only king on the grassland.

If Manrong dared to have any dissenting thoughts, Wu Yanhe frowned, and that Manrong would surely die miserably.
