Yijing: You reckless people, your tricks are really deep!

Xiao Tingxue paced back and forth in He Suifeng's mansion, as if she was stepping on charcoal fire, but she couldn't stand still for a while—an hour ago, someone from the Humbang Palace suddenly came, saying that all the ministers were summoned for an urgent discussion. Sui Feng didn't even have time to think about what kind of changes had occurred, so he could only leave in a hurry, leaving Xiao Tingxue here alone in anxiety.It's a pity that when He Suifeng returned to the Central Plains, he sent all the servants in his family to the reckless army. Right now, he doesn't even have anyone to comfort and listen to Xue.

Xiao Tingxue glanced at the sun again, anxious that only so many hours had passed, and anxious that so little hours had passed.

But after a lot of anticipation, I finally heard the sound of horseshoes outside the door - He Suifeng has returned to the mansion!

Xiao Tingxue rushed out of the hall immediately, and collided with He Suifeng in a hurry.

The two didn't have time to ask whether they were in pain or not, and they didn't care about the dust all over their bodies. They only saw the precarious panic in each other's eyes.

"What happened?"

"The deserted city is over!"

The father and son said at the same time.

"What did you say?" Ting Xue didn't even dare to make a sound for breathing, for fear of mishearing what He Suifeng said.

"The deserted city was originally hit by an aftershock today, but unfortunately it triggered the big mechanism that was laid 30 years ago. I heard from Emperor Humang that half of the deserted city has fallen to the ground. The army cannot be rescued for a while. It is a good time to send troops ! Right now Dezhao Wangqing is missing, we people can't stop the emperor!"

"Government? What kind of mechanism made half of the deserted city disappear?!" Xiao Tingxue almost screamed.

"We didn't listen very carefully, but the emperor said that this mechanism was completed 30 years ago. He originally wanted to destroy all the deserted cities, and then let soldiers and horses rush out from the ground. I was caught off guard. However, this mechanism was destroyed by one person. Shao Yankang, the most reckless mechanism master in the world, is also helpless. Now the deserted city is shaking and the mechanism is shaken. By chance, half of the deserted city has been destroyed! Now that I think about it, maybe this mechanism can be saved. Mang was protected from the devastation of the earthquake, otherwise why the deserted city fell, but the adjacent Hu Mang was safe and sound? However, the civil strife has already consumed a lot of Hu Mang, and if there is such a good opportunity, Emperor Hu Mang will naturally be unable to sit still!"

"Why hasn't there been any news about this matter?!"

"This is something that has been planned for decades and carried out in secret. Before this time, the emperor must of course keep it a secret."

Xiao Tingxue clenched her hands tightly to prevent herself from continuing to be in a trembling and embarrassed state, even though she wanted to calm down, but when she said the words, even her voice seemed angry.

"Is there any other news, this agency..."

He Suifeng thought hard for a moment, and finally shook his head: "Not for the time being. The technician who arranged this mechanism at the beginning is already in his twilight years. Although he is well-known in Hu Mang, he has not seen him for many years. It is not known whether he is dead or alive right now."

"That means no one can activate the mechanism again?"

"If there is no one, why is the emperor rushing to send troops?" He Suifeng seemed to remember something, and said again: "That technician is the teacher of Princess Hu Mang!"

Xiao Tingxue's heart skipped a beat, thinking of Dezhao Wangqing whose whereabouts were unknown, her clothes were soaked in cold sweat.

"Listen to the snow? Listen to the snow!" He Suifeng called out to him.

At that time, Tingxue seemed to be in a panic, her eyes seemed to have lost their light, and she grabbed He Suifeng's wrist in a daze.

"What should I do... What should I do? Is everything I did before in vain?"

He Suifeng was frightened by him, but became much calmer. He reached out and patted him on the back, and told him in a firm voice: "Hu Mang just experienced civil strife. Even if there is a surprise strategy, the follow-up force can't support it. As long as Sucheng is not lost, there is hope of victory! Humang is not a country with a large population. You have taken their flocks, and you have controlled Weili and other high-ranking court officials. If you continue to exploit them, Humang will collapse without a fight. You Immediately find a way to let Wei Li lead the army to fight, and then send someone to travel day and night to inform Yijing of the agency's affairs, so that he can take precautions early."

"Okay... I... I'll go now..."

Xiao Tingxue was eager to catch his breath, and didn't have time to think about what He Suifeng said, so he stumbled and rushed out the door, following his plan.

Dark clouds are everywhere, and the sky and the earth are dark.

Gu Xiaowu ignored the yelling and yelling of the other officials behind her, and ran quickly through the winding corridors. Wherever her eyes passed, it seemed that the palace was full of chaos, but when she regained her composure and thought about it again, from the guards To the courtiers, who is not like this.

Those piles of memorials and papers were so weak that they could not withstand a fire, but they were so strong that they almost destroyed these magnificent palaces. Even Gu Xiaowu could only sigh, no matter how much he hated himself for not being able to move faster.

This is a pain for the rest of the officials who came after them.

Jiang Yuan's physical strength should be far inferior to that of Xingzhu and Hesheng, but when the newly appointed Minister of the Ministry of Officials heard the urgent summons from the emperor, he ran from the Ministry of Officials to the Holy Study Room, and even the attendants gave her He couldn't wait to lead the horse and lift the sedan chair, he was really frightened out of his wits by this job, everyone thought Master Gu was going to charge.

Gu Xiaowu didn't have time to explain so much, she just ran on her own, until the door of the holy study, and then slowed down, and after the attendant notified her, she ignored her still messy temple hair, raised her foot and rushed inside .

Gan Yi arrived one step earlier, and the emperor sat high in the hall, holding the teacup in one hand, with a dignified expression. Such a silent atmosphere in the room retreated into the corner again.

Then, the emperor sighed softly.

Gu Xiaowu and Gan Yi looked at each other, unable to see what kind of calculations were in each other's eyes - but the matter has come to this point, who still has the heart to calculate anything?

"I'm afraid Shang Shu still doesn't know why I told you to come here?" The emperor put down the teacup, grabbed a document at hand, and signaled the attendant beside him to pass it to Gu Xiaowu.

Gu Xiaowu guessed that there was a change in the deserted city, so she didn't hesitate, took the document and began to read it carefully - after that, only her gasping for air was left in the huge holy study.

"What kind of mechanism is this, with such supernatural powers? Minister..."

"I and the Prime Minister are also unbelievable." The emperor's voice sounded a little uncertain, and I don't know if he had never panicked or had forgotten to panic, "But before Xiao Tingxue sent the news, the imperial court did receive a letter from the deserted city." There were two aftershocks in succession, and half of the city had fallen into the ground."

"According to what he said, these are not two aftershocks, but one aftershock and one mechanism activation?"

The emperor nodded silently.

"Is this statement credible?" Gu Xiaowu looked at Gan Yi, as if asking him.

"Yijing has already rushed to the deserted city to find out the truth, but Xiao Tingxue's secret report is conclusive... I wanted to send someone to find Princess Qianze to find out, but even Princess Qianze disappeared from the world ...I am afraid that it will be difficult to prove this matter for a while."

But Gu Xiaowu said: "There is one more person, maybe you can learn the ins and outs of it from her mouth."

"Who?!" The emperor suddenly straightened his back a little, and his eyes shone brightly as if he had seen the sun that had not been seen for a long time.

"Your Majesty, do you still remember that we still imprisoned the reckless princess? That princess studied under Shao Yankang, the master of the reckless generation of mechanism. If there is such a magnificent mechanism, her teacher should not be involved in it."

The emperor nodded thoughtfully: "At this point, there is no need to hide anything. The prime minister immediately arranged to ask the princess carefully."

"Yes!"

Gan Yi and Gu Xiaowu retreated in a hurry, the two of them had to pass for a while on the road, Gu Xiaowu didn't make a fuss, and asked Gan Yi: "The prime minister thinks that what Xiao Tingxue said is true or not?"

"This matter can shake the morale of the army, and it even concerns tens of millions of people. Naturally, the truth does not want to come true..." Gan Yi stopped in her tracks, with a look of pity on her face, "But this is probably..."

"Why did you say that?" Gu Xiaowu knew that Gan Yi was not the kind of prime minister who judged things based on feeling, "Does your lord know anything else?"

"Do you know why Yijing left Huailie Villa and became an official in the court?"

"His second elder brother, Huajing..." Gu Xiaowu's expression immediately became gloomy and terrifying, "The emperor's teacher, Huajing, is extremely talented, and he is also proficient in mechanism techniques. I once asked about Huajing's whereabouts for Yijing, and then I found him Fear of disappearing in the northwest..."

The rest of the words, the two speak for themselves.

Gan Yi caged her official robe, and whispered: "The guard of the deserted city unfortunately died in that mechanism, and the commander of the army was also sent to the battlefield of the deserted city. You should quickly find the reckless princess and ask what happened. .”

Yijing's Ningwu army was rushed to the deserted city starry night by an urgent document. However, Ningwu was mainly infantry, and even if they risked their lives, they were three days late. That's why Yijing arrived at the front line When the Tonghua Cishu met, Anwu's army had already set up camp and set up a defense line between the deserted city and Sucheng, at least allowing the Ningwu army to rest for one night, which is really a timely help.

Even if the sergeant had to rest, Commander Ningwu still had to rush to the prefect's mansion without stopping. He happened to meet a tree of flowers along the way, but he learned even more desperate news.

"This Xingcheng! He obviously came to the ground, why did he go down again!" Yijing scolded angrily, urgently, and sadly, "As a member of the army, but I don't know how to take care of my life. Right now, life and death are uncertain. What is this supposed to say?!"

Huacishu quickly pointed to the darkness of the underground, and persuaded Yijing to come: "The prefect of the deserted city said that at that time, Xingcheng noticed that there was something different in the underground of the deserted city. after all."

Yijing calmed down, carefully recalling the letter that Xiao Tingxue delivered—if the prediction was correct, there should be another mechanism under the ruins.Huacishu also got the news apparently, and is now sending someone to let go of the rope and go to the ruins to find out.

"Is there any progress?"

Huacishu shook his head: "There are too many gravels. I asked someone to clean them up, but I can only see the intact bluestone walls on both sides of the road. The moss is densely covered on them. I think it has been a long time."

Yijing pondered for a while, recollecting the news from Xiao Tingyu over and over again, and then asked Huacishu: "Do you still remember that this mechanism seems to have left a way for the reckless cavalry to rush to attack?" Deserted city?"

Huacishu nodded: "I know you want to prevent problems before they happen, but we have never understood this underground mechanism, so how should we start?"

Yijing didn't answer, but turned to Qin Zuoxi and said: "I will go down and check, if the reckless attack suddenly, please ask Commander Hua to command on my behalf. If you don't follow, everyone in Ningwu, Military law!"

Qin Zuoxi immediately shook his head: "No! Commander! At present, no one knows what kind of mechanism this mechanism is. If it is enough to destroy the deserted city, wouldn't it mean that if the commander goes here, he will go deep into a dangerous situation? What should the Ningwu army do if it happens? Is good?"

The Flower Ci Tree ceremony said: "What Qin Zuoxi said makes sense."

"But it's also because this mechanism is so important, I'm thinking about finding out what's going on earlier, so as not to be caught off guard by being killed."

"Do you have a solution?" Huacishu asked back.

"This underground city, one is to seriously injure the deserted city, and the other is for the cavalry to raid. If the underground city collapses, wouldn't the cavalry be smashed to death together?"

"According to your opinion, there must be a safe place to hide underground?"

"Not only that," Yijing continued solemnly: "There should be a road that allows cavalry to pass. We just need to find this road, and there may be another turning point."

After saying that, he ignored Qin Zuoxi's dissuasion, took the rope and went underground.

However, the dungeon is already busy.

Many people also suffered from it, and Huacishu also sent some soldiers to help the prefect dig the ground to save people, but now there are only two large armies assembled on the border of the reckless, and he has to beware of the enemy's attack, he is also powerless.

Ps:

1. Combining what Xingsheng saw in the previous chapter, you will find that Xingsheng is on the road where cavalry can pass through the dungeon.

2. The underground mechanism in the deserted city was supposed to start 30 years ago, but it was stopped by a person, that person is... you know.

2. Jiangyuan still has estrus, but there is no mark, so one Jiangyuan can have multiple Xingzhu (Xingzhu is attacking, Jiangyuan is receiving);

3. Social status: Jiangyuan>Hesheng>Xingzhu, in order to ensure the purity of the royal bloodline and avoid the occurrence of being a happy father, the emperor must have children by himself, so if there is Jiangyuan with strong fertility among the emperor's children, priority will be given Be established as the heir (the status of accepting is higher than attacking);

4. If the child born to the emperor is Jiang Yuan, the whole country celebrates it;

5. Weaken the difference between men and women, emphasizing offense and shou (attack: Junren, Shou: Qingzi, so the emperor's male favorite is also called Chongjun), and parents are only used to represent male and female gender (such as: father, father, etc.);

6. The emperor is a shou (self-proclaimed: Zhen), and the harem raises a gong (servant shou). Except for the king (self-proclaimed: solitary), other gongs have no difference in status;

7. Most of the characters in this article come from the "Yunjuan Mountains and Rivers" written by me before, but there will be differences in the characters, which can be regarded as the story of the next life of the protagonist group of "Yunjuan Mountains and Rivers";
