Nanfei

The old prince rushed into the palace with a face full of anger, and when he came to the emperor with a snot, he told Chen Pan and Jiang Erlao that they didn't take the royal family seriously, scolded the royal family for no reason, and threatened him with harsh words before leaving. The cry was earth-shattering.

Qi Zhan was impatient to deal with these corpses. The prince who had nothing to worry about, even though he was unwilling in his heart, he didn't show it on his face. He said a few words of comfort and sent him back to the palace.

The old prince was so angry that he forgot about the matter of entering the palace and denouncing the concubine Nan's inferiority, and was sent back to the palace in a daze.

King Nanshao came out from behind the screen and sneered, "It's really a joke for such a cowardly person who cries like a woman and still keeps Wang Jue."

Qi Zhan smiled tiredly: "The national conditions of each country are different. Even if they do nothing, where they were born, sometimes they have to spend some time to deal with it. I don't ask these people to do something, I just want them to be able to rest on the merits of their ancestors. Go up and keep yourself safe."

After all, it is a matter of another country. King Nanshao doesn't like to talk too much, but he doesn't agree with it in his words.

King Nanshao skimmed off the froth on the tea, raised the corners of his lips and said, "On the way to Tianqi, I received a secret report that the Tatars in the west are very uneasy recently, and they seem to be planning to approach the Central Plains."

Qi Zhan glanced at him with deep meaning. He has not cared about world affairs for a hundred years, and he can even know the intelligence of other countries. It is true that he does not care about world affairs, but it is just a lie on the surface.

The Tatars are nomadic people, they do not do production, they live on nomadic herding, and they live on the western grasslands of the Apocalypse Dynasty.

In previous years, they would commit crimes in the autumn when the grass grows and fertilizes. On weekdays, they just go to the border area to hunt for grass and valleys. People, food, livestock, and daily necessities, as long as they can be robbed, they will not let go. Every time I come to Da Caogu, it's like locusts crossing the border.

However, these two or three thoughts seem to be particularly peaceful, and they have not been to the border to fight Caogu a few times.

The spies who went to the grassland in the past three years changed several batches, and the news they brought back was similar each time. In the past two years, the Tatars seized the king and there was civil strife, and the past year was recuperating.

According to the law of the invasion of troops in previous years, the Tatars should invade in autumn, because at that time, the grain and grass are abundant, and the livestock are the most fat and strong.

Recently, there have been frequent changes.

The time to visit Apocalypse is advancing.

According to inquired news, the soldiers of the two sides may clash in the scorching summer.

Qi Zhan glanced thoughtfully at King Nanshao, who was sipping tea leisurely, and asked, "Does King Nanshao know why the Tatars chose to aggressively attack the border in summer when they knew it would be unfavorable to them this time?"

King Nanshao slowly put down the teacup in his hand, squinted his eyes and sneered, and said irrelevantly: "After the Dragon Boat Festival, the five poisons will come out."

Qi Zhan was stunned for a moment, and the King of Nanshao took the time to say: "Wuhi May is really the most prosperous season for snakes, centipedes, scorpions, lizards, and toads. Using poisonous insects to make Gu and adding secret recipes can improve soldiers in a short period of time. Invincible, ignorant, even if the head is bleeding and the body is separated, as long as the Gu is present, the soldiers can still fight the enemy."

Qi Zhan's brows were furrowed. The situation was so serious. His doubts in his heart deepened now, and his voice was cold: "There is May every year. With such a secret medicine in hand, why don't you send troops?"

If there is a rash of hand-to-hand combat without knowing it, there will be countless casualties, and what a miserable scene of ruins will become on the border.

King Nanshao sneered and asked back: "So easy to cultivate Yin damage poisonous Gu?"

"No one spends tens of thousands of herbs in more than ten years, this Gu can only be regarded as a semi-finished product, the effect will be greatly reduced, and it is easy to backfire."

A sharp look flashed in King Nanshao's eyes, and he smiled darkly: "Most likely he heard about the visit from Nanshao Kingdom, so he had to break the original plan and send troops ahead of time."

Qi Zhan was startled, and asked urgently, "When was the plan supposed to be completed?"

The King of Nanshao said in a deep voice: "It will take three to five years at most, and more than one year at the earliest. I am [-]% sure that the army will be sent in the summer of next year."

Qi Zhan's expression froze: "Thank you King Nanshao for informing the details in advance, extending a helping hand, and giving the other party enough time to prepare. I'm afraid that when the two soldiers fight, our army will be in danger."

King Nanshao said with a smile: "The main purpose of coming to your country is to fulfill Xiaojin's wish and solve the traitor's matter along the way. It's just a matter of little effort."

King Nanshao said with a sinister smile, in this way, people from Nanshao will definitely go to the border to strangle the rebels, and at that time the two brothers will naturally separate.

Qi Zhan thought to himself, Yu'er has the heart to fight on the battlefield and the ability to command troops, so he can lead his troops to meet the enemy Tatars. Nan Shao has a national division, and will definitely help him with all his strength. In this way, there is no need to go too far Worried about Yu'er's safety.

Originally planning to send Yu'er to lead the troops to the Qing pirates in the East China Sea, now they can only choose someone else to go there.

The two looked at each other and smiled, with a lot of thoughts in their hearts, and they both thought that they had achieved what they wanted.

But they didn't expect that the two people's thoughts were very different.

Recently, the court has not been peaceful. First, the old prince was in court with Pan and Jiang. The old prince has been in a high position for many years, and he is pampered. Seeing the two people still looking at him from the corner of their eyes, he rolled up his sleeves and faced him for two days in a fit of anger. Straight forward, Elder Pan and Jiang were planning to speak to His Majesty about letting Concubine Nan become an official in the imperial court. From the corner of their eyes, a figure flew over, subconsciously holding up and blocking with their hands, half of their strength was not used. The matter is already high, the old prince who has no martial arts bangs, and has a face and an intimate contact with the earth.

The pot exploded directly in the hall.

The two old generals were stunned, full of confusion: "I didn't use up all my strength to eat, so why can't I help it?"

The old prince's beard trembled wildly, his old face was as red as a steamed old shrimp, his eyes were red, his face was red, white, and purple, with various changes, so wonderful: "Zizi is arrogant, Wufu is arrogant and bloodthirsty, there is no king Fa, if things go on like this, disasters will surely arise.”

The old prince is not careless, he is hard to beat with four hands, not to mention he is so old, he can't help but beat him up, so he dragged the matter to the chaos of the country by the warriors, and made things worse.

But I didn't know that I had stabbed a hornet's nest with a single word. There are not a few military generals in the hall. Although there are not as many civil servants, they should not be underestimated.

The literati gathered around to watch the excitement of the powerful and the warriors, and the peace among the royal family was muddy.

All of a sudden, the generals became excited. We didn’t see you dignitaries jump out during the bloody battle on the battlefield. When the country is at peace, should we hide our bows and hide our bows, let us go home one by one and take off our armor, but let you guys do nothing There is no merit, relying on casting a good tire, enjoying the wealth and honor in the world.

Besides, those old men with stretched necks and sour scholars who couldn't hold back the excitement in their eyes were not much better. When they were killed in battle, they fled faster than rabbits, and retreated to the king's city. When the war was over, they couldn't wait to suppress the generals.

Among the military generals, there are also some with brains, who instantly thought of fueling the flames of war, throwing them on the Suan Confucian who was watching from the sidelines, and dragging all the princes, nobles, literati and military generals into the water.

Qiao Zaizhao mixed in the crowd and yawned lightly. Instead of arguing here, it would be better to go home and sleep.

The person next to him looked at him casually, glared at him and scolded: "Are you on the side of the reckless man?"

Qiao Zizhao's eyes were instantly filled with indignation: "Of course not."

The man smiled very satisfied, rolled up his sleeves, and did not forget to kick the person who flew over from nowhere.

No matter who you are, call first.

Qiao Zizhao sneaked up to Yao Chuanqi's side and sighed inwardly, this place really couldn't be safer.

Yao Chuanqi's exquisite face was like a jade carving, with his arms folded across his chest, his eyes were fixed like lightning on the civil servants who wanted to pounce but did not dare to pounce.

Among them, the cursing sounded intermittently in the ear.

Qi Zhan got up late to discuss the war with King Nanshao the day before, and when he arrived at the main hall, his eyes were full of horror.

Qi Zhan's face darkened, no need to say anything, someone couldn't help crying, and told the matter out of breath.

Thanks to someone else's addition, otherwise I would not have said it thoroughly, I almost died from crying, and I was choked up when I spoke, so I couldn't speak clearly.

Qi Zhan sneered, and commented pertinently: "It's nonsense for a warrior to harm the country."

The civil servants and the royal family were full of dissatisfaction, and Qi Zhanlin said in a voice: "Wen can govern the country and military can stabilize the country. One is indispensable. Could it be that you think that in the peaceful and prosperous age, all the generals will be driven back home, and the knives will not be sharp if they are not sharpened for a long time. The training is not elite, and when there is a war at the border, what are we going to use to resist foreign enemies? Could it be that we are preparing to let famous talents and scholars go to the border to grind their mouths against the enemy, could it be that we are exchanging the royal relatives for a peaceful life.”

Seeing that His Majesty ignored what he said, the old prince praised the brave and aggressive martial artist. His heart felt like he had overturned the seasoning sauce. The taste of sour, sweet, bitter, hot and astringent exploded on the tip of his tongue, and he retorted with his neck stuck: " Your Majesty, the seas and rivers are clean and the seas are clean, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the trend of military arrogance is unacceptable, which is of no benefit to the society and no benefit to the people."

Qi Zhan looked at the spitting old prince with a sneer, flicked his wide sleeves, his belt was in the wind, and walked down Dan Majesty slowly, with a cold tone: "Military? Bloodthirsty, am I a tyrant who puts the people in danger?" ?”

The old prince was sweating coldly on his forehead, and his face was pale.

Qi Zhan looked at him coldly, the old prince's legs trembled, his heart was flustered for a moment, and he regretted his blurted words.

Qi Zhan said one word at a time: "The Tatars invade our country. At this time, all civil and military officials, soldiers and civilians are united and working together to defend against the enemy."

A cold light gradually appeared in Qi Zhan's eyes, making people afraid to look directly at him.

Qi Zhan glanced slowly over the crowd, turned around and walked up to Dan Bi, with a slow but forceful tone: "Anyone who offends my apocalypse will be punished no matter how far away he is."

Elders Pan and Jiang went home in a daze. They couldn't believe that His Majesty asked them to divide their troops to the south and west.

This day seems to be still in a dream.
