In the quiet study room, Wan Qimo was looking at the military map spread out on the table. He knew that Long Nu had returned to the court and now only General Shi was leading the army. He knew General Shi very well. He was too conceited.
People don't like to listen to advice in everything, and they can't accept advice and go their own way. This is his fatal weakness. Although they lost 100,000 soldiers this time, he is still very confident in capturing Qisa.
Emperor Zong was wary of people. After learning his identity, he took the lead in sending troops. Unexpectedly, he had been preparing for this day for more than ten years. How could they win by taking it by surprise?
"National Preceptor, secret letter." The personal guard delivered a letter and then withdrew.
Wan Qimo took out the letter inside, glanced at it a few times, and then smiled clearly, his face full of determination. He knew that he would not die that easily, and he was his Wan Qimo's son. But continue reading.
, and slowly frowned.
After reading it, slowly place it on the lit candle until the entire letter turns to ashes.
He walked back to the desk, raised his hands and looked at the map on it.
Is he sure he wants this?
Just for one woman, is it worth it?!
Qingwang Mansion.
Wan Qiqing, who was writing with his head down, suddenly raised his head and looked out the window, calling out in a low voice, "Sha Wu,"
"yes,"
Outside the door, a man in black wearing a bamboo hat walked in immediately and saluted him respectfully.
Put down the pen and stare quietly, "How is the check going?"
"My subordinates have found out that King Qi is the son of Wan Qimo. The Emperor and King Zhao have known about it for a long time." Sha Wu didn't waste any time, went straight to the point, and told him the key points directly.
Hearing Sha Wu's words, Wan Qiqing just raised his eyes without reacting too much. He had already suspected this issue when he was investigating Uncle Mo Emperor. Seeing that his father loved his seventh brother so much, this could only be
It's just a guess. However, when the father happily agreed to let him go to the battlefield, killed Qing'er, and then asked his sixth brother to frame him, if you put everything together, this result is the only one that is reasonable.
And Lao Liu has known this secret for a long time. In this way, the father's attitude toward the sixth brother...
The eagle's eyes narrowed, revealing the coldness after seeing the facts.
"Sha Wu," at the same time, he also doubted another thing, "Is he really dead?" Even if he saw the body of his seventh brother and verified his identity, for some reason, he always felt that he would not be like this.
Die easily. Are you really desperate and deliberately seeking death?
"Dead." Sha Wu's bamboo hat was held down very low, and he could only utter these two words that were harsh and without warmth.
"Well, what about the others?" It seemed that he was too suspicious.
"King Yan did not return to the court, but rushed directly from Yanbei Kingdom to Minglan Mountain to meet General Shi."
Wan Qiqing nodded, "It's like his style." His fifth brother was the one who paid the least attention to his powerful status among the brothers. Apart from fighting on the battlefield, nothing seemed to arouse his interest. This is also
Why, he is the only reason not to be plotted against.
"So, isn't it true that there are no strong generals guarding the border near Yanbei?" Wan Qiqing frowned unconsciously.
Yanbei Kingdom is a country that has grown rapidly in recent years. It was originally just a small tribe, but unknowingly, it developed into a large country that can compete with Qisa. It is said that this is entirely due to the ruler of Yanbei Kingdom.
——Xingxu. This mysterious king has many rumors about him so far, but no one has seen his true face in Lushan. He has twenty-eight stars who can be called first-class masters. They each perform their own duties and are responsible for each other.
Deal with things big and small.
More than half of the army of Yanbei Kingdom are bandits and bandits, but such a group of rabble has been trained into strong soldiers and generals. They are all masters who went to the battlefield and fought without their lives. So far,
Neither country has dared to take action against them yet.
Because they are located in the grassland, their livestock industries such as cattle and sheep are relatively developed. The horses they raise are fat and strong. Nearly three-quarters of the war horses in Qisa and Tiandu were purchased from the Yanbei Kingdom. This is
It has brought them unique economic channels, and the profits from selling war horses every year are very considerable.
As early as when they rose to greatness, Emperor Zong was afraid that these bandit-born people would not change their nature of attacking, so he ordered King Yan to guard the border. However, Yanbei Kingdom never showed any signs of invasion, and the two countries have been at peace with each other for a long time.
Nothing happened. It was precisely because of this that Emperor Zong was able to bring back Flame King so happily.
Now, I am afraid that they will take this opportunity to stir up trouble. The Zong Emperor's agency is planning, but it is difficult to change the authoritarian nature. I am afraid that Long Nu's contribution is too great and the public voice is too loud, so she will stay at the border even if it is empty.
Jiangcheng.
"Shawu," Wan Qiqing turned around and ordered, "go find out the details of Xingxiu."
He raised his bamboo hat slightly, then lowered his head and said, "Yes."
In the blink of an eye, there was no one behind him.
Such a mysterious person always hides in the dark. He can create miracles in Yanbei Kingdom in just a few years. If he becomes an enemy, the consequences may be disastrous.

Staying in Yanxia Juli, so close to Nianxi Palace, even if it only lasts for a day, she will always think of him, and her heartache will suffocate every time. Ah Shang saw this and called other saints in white to discuss and decide.
Take Mai Mai out of the palace for a walk to relax your mind.
Knowing their good intentions, Mai Mai responded with a smile, "Well, it's time to go see Qing'er." How could she forget Qing'er, this poor brother. Her heart had long been split in two and lost to
These two people.
The group of more than a dozen people attracted attention wherever they went. Mai Mai suggested that it would be better to change into casual clothes. But Ashang smiled and said, "Miss, the people in Jiangcheng may not know what the emperor looks like, but they don't know you, miss."
.Your portrait is just as good as the Bodhisattva's tribute."
Mai Mai blinked her eyes in disbelief, "Is it that exaggerated?" She was sure that she had done nothing for the people, and she really deserved this kind of treatment.
"Why not! You praying for rain, repelling the enemy army, is not an earth-shattering event!"
Mai Mai was amused by Ah Shang's exaggeration, "Ah Shang, your little mouth really has the potential to bring life to the dead." Fortunately, she was by her side, otherwise, she really didn't know how to get through missing her.
their days.
In this case, Mai Mai simply went out of the palace as he was. Behind him were sixteen saints in white clothes. After leaving the palace, the attention he received was by no means less than the sensation of paying homage to the Bodhisattva's face.
"Look, it's the Dragon Girl!"
"Dragon Girl, it's Dragon Girl!"
The news of the Dragon Girl's appearance spread from one to ten, until the main street of Jiangcheng was surrounded by water. People were holding children, helping old people, and dragging their wives. In short, everyone was dragging their families with them.
Come over. Looking at this posture, it seems that looking at the Dragon Girl is like seeing a living Bodhisattva.
Mai Mai was a little flattered by this kind of love. The only thing she could do was to smile and respond kindly to everyone who greeted her. In a daze, she slowly felt what it felt like to be a modern star. However, she still felt a little uncomfortable.
From beginning to end, she didn't think she had anything worthy of being respected.
Finally, he squeezed out the crowd and walked into Faxuan Temple. Taking out the incense candles he brought, Maimai walked to the temple and bowed down with a lonely expression. Wan Qiqing placed Qing'er's tablet here for many years, so that it can
Blessed by the Buddha, he can also receive the incense of thousands of people.
"Qing'er, sister is here to see you." She smiled bitterly and lowered her eyes, "It's great that you have found your parents...my sister is still alone, but it doesn't matter. After she avenges you, she will also go
I'm looking for you." Mai Mai raised her head and looked at the small tablet next to the Buddha statue. "Sister, there are still many things to do. I don't know if this is the right thing to do. I just know that I have to do it. Maybe this way I can feel at ease.
I'm going to find you." Regardless of whether Qing'er understood it or not, she wanted to tell him.
Ah Shang outside the Buddhist temple looked at Mai Mai's appearance and stepped aside sadly. She saw the young lady's pain in her eyes, but she could do nothing about it. Hey, who can blame the master for not letting him talk! I really don't know.
How long will it continue to be tortured?
Maybe he was too immersed in what he was talking about. Mai Mai, who was still talking to himself, didn't realize that there was someone standing next to him.
"Qing'er, do you know? My sister fought for the first time. She was so scared at the time, but she still persisted. I originally wanted to get the handsome seal and then avenge you step by step, but unfortunately that old fox used a ridiculous excuse.
It interrupted the plan, but don’t worry, my sister still has a way, I don’t believe she can’t punish him! Qing’er, there’s more...”
Only then did she realize that there was a man standing not far away. He was wearing a black gown and looked tall and tall. His hair was tied back casually, his face was a little dark, and his cheeks and chin were covered with beards.
Most of his face was covered. Except for his beautiful pair of bright eyes, no other features could be seen. At this moment, he was worshiping the Buddha with his hands clasped together, and it seemed that he didn't care at all about Mai Mai on the side.
Mai Mai just glanced at it and hurriedly stopped talking. It was only because he was careless and didn't notice anyone next to him. But why didn't Ashang and the others notify him? Maybe he was too focused on talking and didn't even remind him.
hear.
No longer unfounded, Mai Mai stood up slowly. When she turned around, she glanced at the man unconsciously. Coincidentally, he was also looking at her.
The moment their eyes met, there was a throbbing feeling of déjà vu, like a spring breeze blowing through the lake of my heart, causing ripples that lingered for a long time.
His feet were slightly sluggish, and he glanced at him again in confusion. At this time, he had already lowered his head and continued to pray for something.
I can't tell where this feeling comes from, it's so familiar.
She smiled self-deprecatingly and turned around to leave the Buddhist temple. She knew only a few people in Qisa. She didn't see such a number one friend. How could she be an old acquaintance?
"Miss, you came out so soon?" Ah Shang looked at Mai Mai, a little surprised, and then looked inside a few more times.
"It's been almost an hour, is it still fast?" Having just looked at his brother, Mai Mai felt a little heavy and ignored Ashang's strange behavior.
"Oh." Ah Shang responded, took another look inside, and then helped Mai Mai out the door.
