Xuan Jizi said: "What Yu Shangshu said is true. Now we, Daliang and Xixia, both prosper and suffer."
"Long Chengen and Xixia are fighting. We should provide support. Pindao estimates that Xixia's envoys are coming too."
"But there is a question. Do we, Daliang, really want to go all out to fight Dongyi?"
"If the war in Xixia lasts for a long time, will we in Daliang continue to fight against the Eastern Zhou Dynasty until the Eastern Zhou Dynasty is defeated?"
Li Chengdao listened to Xuan Jizi's words and sat on the dragon chair without speaking.
He actually didn't want to go to war with the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, because Nanliang was actually in trouble internally and externally.
Several wars with the Eastern Zhou Dynasty ended in failure.
Long Chen caused trouble again last time, and the north side of Jinling City has not been repaired yet.
Three of his generals have died, and there are not many available men left.
Hu Feiyang and Qiu Kuohai are veterans and can still be used.
The newly promoted Xue Ze, Tong Yuan and Liu Feibai were not useful enough.
Last time three of them besieged Caishi City, Di Luoxi blocked three of them by herself and paid a heavy price.
The Hero Platform is still recruiting people. Even if these people are good at cultivation, leading troops to fight is another matter and requires experience.
The most important issue is the supply of troops. So many people have died, and if we continue to recruit troops, I am afraid there will be turmoil in the country.
The troops from the south were transferred to the north to defend against the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. The Southern Barbarians were about to make a move. The governor of Annan County had already sent two reports, requesting the imperial court to send troops to guard against it.
"Fish Fu Country."
Li Chengdao glanced at Yu Fuguo, who had been silent.
Yu Fuguo immediately bowed and said, "Back to the emperor, I don't know much about war."
"But I think that if we don't send troops at this time, when Long Chengen destroys Xixia, we will be unable to support the beam alone..."
Li Chengdao was silent, looking at the pen holder on the table in trance.
This penholder was given by Long Ye, and Li Chengdao did not throw it away, but kept it.
Outside the door, a young official stood at the door and said: "Liao Qing, the young minister of Honglu Temple, wants to see you."
Everyone looked towards the door.
Honglu Temple is responsible for diplomatic affairs. Liao Qing's arrival means that Xixia's envoy has arrived.
Li Chengdao said coldly: "Come in."
Liao Qing came in and said: "Liao Qing, a humble minister, pays his respects to the emperor."
Li Chengdao asked coldly: "Have people from Xixia arrived?"
Liao Qing paid homage: "Your Majesty is wise, the Xixia envoy is here, asking to see your Majesty."
Li Chengdao pondered for a moment and said: "There is no need to see me. Tell him that I will immediately send troops to attack the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and coordinate with the Western Xia Dynasty."
Liao Qing immediately bowed and said: "Wei Chen accepts the order, Wei Chen resigns!"
Liao Qing exited the imperial study, and Li Chengdao said decisively: "If we don't send troops at this time, there will be endless troubles. If we wait for Long Chengen to destroy Xixia, we will regret it."
"Yu Shangshu, sent an order to the front line to send troops to attack Linjiang City and Caishi City!"
Yu Ziming, the Minister of the Ministry of War, paid homage and said: "Wei ministers accept the decree!"
Li Chengdao said to Yu Fuguo: "Spread out the Imperial City Division and help the Ministry of War to have a good killing."
Yu Fuguo immediately bowed and said, "I accept the decree!"
Yu Ziming exited the imperial study and immediately sent orders to the front line to attack Linjiang City and Caishi City.
....
Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Xifeng City.
Six female generals rode to the east gate of Xifeng City. They were none other than Zhang Qian.
After coming out of Prince Wu's Mansion, the six of them ran all the way and finally arrived at Xifeng City.
The captain guarding the city gate immediately stopped the six people and yelled: "What are you doing!"
There is a war going on at Jade Buddha Pass. Zhang Qian and the other six are not dressed like ordinary people. They are also carrying weapons. Such people must be interrogated.
Zhang Qian took out her belt card and said: "Prince Wu's Cavalry Commander Zhang Qian!"
Seeing Prince Wu's waist badge, the soldiers immediately saluted and let him go: "General, please!"
Zhang Qian and the others hurriedly entered the east gate, walked through the bustling streets, went straight to the west gate, and headed towards the Jade Buddha Pass.
The war at Jade Buddha Pass blocked the trade routes to the west, and many business travelers rested in the city, making the city even more prosperous.
The clatter of horse hoofs disappeared in the distance. On the attic on the roadside, a woman with a high nose, dark eye sockets, brown eyes, and fair skin was wearing an apricot long-sleeved cardigan, a dark blue embroidered horse-faced skirt, and a comb. Wearing a high bun, a light blush on her face, and a golden hairpin in her hair, she looked graceful and wealthy.
This person is Yan Shuangyu, the master of the Jade Buddha Tower in Xifeng City.
Xifeng City is located at the junction of the Eastern Zhou, Xixia and Nanliang kingdoms. It is a very important place with many business trips.
Shen Wanjin asked Yan Shuangyu to be in charge of the Jade Buddha Tower, which was considered a high priority.
A woman in her fifties stood behind her, looking at the six Zhang Qians riding past, and said in a low voice: "Master, Long Chengen's family has arrived."
This person is Li Sanniang, the steward of the Jade Buddha Tower.
When Yan Shuangyu was in Buzhuang, he had a steward named Yu Wenji.
When they arrived at the Jade Buddha Building, Yan Shuangyu appointed a steward again, while Yu Wenji stayed in Buzhuang to take care of the business of the dyeing shop.
Yan Shuangyu said: "I heard that Shi Le's army is gathering, Shi Le has also arrived in Yangcheng, and there is a big battle in Zhenguo Temple."
Li Sanniang said: "I heard that the original poster agreed to help Long Chengen, are we going to take action this time too?"
Yan Shuangyu shook her head and said, "I don't know. We will act according to the instructions and ignore the rest."
As an assassin, discipline is extremely strict.
Whatever is done is what it is, and nothing should be exceeded.
Once he disobeys his orders, the Guanfeng Messenger will immediately hunt him down.
Li Sanniang said: "It stands to reason that when Zhang Qian and the others arrive, the landlord's order should also arrive."
As soon as he finished speaking, a woman pushed the door open and came in, holding a bamboo tube in her hand and bowing: "Master, this is a letter from Jujin Hall."
Yan Shuangyu immediately took the bamboo tube, the woman left the room, and Li Sanniang also took a few steps back to avoid it.
Yan Shuangyu opened the bamboo tube and unfolded the paper. After reading the contents of the letter, Yan Shuangyu was stunned for a moment.
She thought she had read it wrong, so she read it again, and then received the secret letter with a look of embarrassment on her face.
Li Sanniang saw that Yan Shuangyu looked wrong and asked: "Master, what's wrong? The mission is difficult?"
Yan Shuangyu hesitated to speak, but finally said it.
"The host asked me to...seduce Long Chengen."
Li Sanniang was stunned and asked in surprise: "Seducing Long Chengen? Why?"
Yan Shuangyu shook her head slightly, her heartbeat speeding up unconsciously, her face turned red, and the expression on her face became a little unnatural.
"I thought the poster would let me cooperate with Long Chengen in the assassination, but I didn't expect..."
In fact, some time ago, Shen Wanjin gave Yan Shuangyu instructions to prepare for an assassination, and the target was Yuncheng's general.
Yan Shuangyu originally thought that Shen Wanjin would ask her to organize the assassination, but she didn't expect that she would end up seducing Long Chen.
She was responsible for seduction, and the assassination task must have been given to Xixia's daughter Gan Xin.
Yan Shuangyu suddenly felt a sick feeling in her heart.
This is not seduction, this is selling oneself.
Shen Wanjin saw that the Longchen battle was fought well, and it was very possible to destroy Xixia.
When Xixia is destroyed, Long Chen's power will reach a new height.
Shen Wanjin wanted to curry favor with this big tree, but he became a sacrifice.
Long Chen is lustful, beautiful, and has a perfect body. What a perfect sacrifice.
As an assassin, Yan Shuangyu is prepared to die at any time.
But she never thought that one day she would use her body to seduce.
In Wanjin Tower, there is a group of women who have been specially trained to use seduction techniques to get close to their targets.
These women don't care about men and women or their own bodies.
But Yan Shuangyu and Xiu Niang are exceptions, neither of them are willing.
Yan Shuangyu and Xiu Niang both had business talents and relied solely on their abilities to earn a living. Unexpectedly, they still had to sell their bodies.
Li Sanniang knew Yan Shuangyu's temperament and comforted her helplessly: "Hall Master...Actually, I heard that Long Chengen is not a bad person. He is the princess's future consort, so it's not a waste to be with him."
Li Sanniang could only comfort her like this, she really couldn't think of any better words to say.
Yan Shuangyu sneered and said: "Yes, the man the two princesses like is so good. No one can compare to him in terms of his civility, Taoism and martial arts."
"But I..."
Li Sanniang knew what Yan Shuangyu meant.
She could take the initiative to approach Long Chen and go to Wushan Yunyu with him, but she couldn't accept being sold out.
This was a hurdle in her heart that she couldn't get over.
"Lord, this is the order from the host."
Li Sanniang sighed helplessly.
Yan Shuangyu picked up the secret letter and read it again. The three words "Wealth Luck" on her head were extremely eye-catching.
The order to attract wealth is the highest order of Wanjin Tower and no one is allowed to disobey it.
These three words are usually used only in dead ends.
For example, if you want to assassinate someone, your action will inevitably lead to failure, and the assassin will definitely die.
At this time, in order to prevent the assassin from retreating, Wanjinlou will use the "Wealth Order" to force the assassin to execute it.
If it is not carried out, the Guanfeng messenger will chase you thousands of miles and kill you without a burial place.
