There is still a sentence left unsaid. The matter is so big and everyone is not a fool. Looking back, who knows that the people from the two factions were sent by His Majesty?
If Your Majesty rescues me, then the sneak attack will be confirmed, and Nanzhou will demand an explanation from the three major factions!
If Your Majesty does not save, or cannot save, it will be a huge loss.
This is a blatant slap in His Majesty’s face!
He didn't say anything, but Shang Jianxiong also reacted, his expression twitched, and he said sternly: "I will never let this thief go!"
Ga Miaoshui advised from the side: "Your Majesty, you can issue an order to Nanzhou and ask for people in the name of interrogation, unless Nanzhou wants to openly resist the order!"
Both Shang Jianxiong and Tian Yu frowned. Has Shang Chaozong done enough to openly resist the decree? How many times has Shang Chaozong been ordered to come to Beijing to report on his work? As soon as the decree arrived, Shang Chaozong immediately became ill. As soon as the decree was withdrawn, the illness immediately disappeared.
Well, no matter what, I just refuse to come to the capital.
Of course, I actually don’t dare to come. Do you want to go back easily after you come?
For such an edict, I wonder what kind of reasons the Shang Chaozong would come up with.
Tian Yu nodded and said: "No matter whether it works or not, we have to try. Your Majesty, this is the only way we can do it for now. It is not good to ignore the situation, otherwise it will chill people's hearts. It will be difficult to make those monks work hard again in the future!"
Shang Jianxiong closed his eyes and sighed, "Let's draw up the decree!"
He was not sure whether his nephew, Shang Chaozong, would let him go, not to mention that there was Niu Youdao behind him. It would probably depend on Niu Youdao's face.
However, not long after the edict was sent out, a secret report from the Intelligence Department was urgently sent to the imperial study.
Tian Yu, who was standing outside the imperial study room and giving instructions to several eunuchs, suddenly changed his expression after reading the secret report. He dismissed the eunuchs and quickly entered the imperial study room.
In the imperial study room, Shang Jianxiong, who was sitting behind the case, was standing and having a conversation with Da Sikong Tongmo.
Without caring about anything else, Tian Yu interrupted with an urgent report: "Your Majesty, the Intelligence Department has reported urgent military information. Nanzhou's army, which was slowly retreating from the direction of Jinzhou, suddenly gathered urgently again, accelerated its march, and headed straight for Dingzhou. Near Dingzhou.
The troops from the Zhou direction gathered quickly and headed straight for the Dingzhou border!"
Tong Mo was stunned, his mind spinning with thoughts.
Shang Jianxiong stood up in shock, grabbed the military intelligence report and checked it. His face turned pale when he saw it, and he said sternly: "What does that scoundrel from Shang Chaozong want to do?"
Tong Mo stretched out his hand and said, "Your Majesty, can you show me this to me?"
Shang Jianxiong handed him his hand and began to pace back and forth in the study, his face full of gloom.
After looking at it, Tong Mo had a solemn face, shaking the paper in his hand and saying: "Is it possible that the Shang Dynasty Zong wants to rebel? No, if you really dare to mess up, how can the three major sects spare them! Your Majesty, has something happened?"
This is called asking questions knowingly. He has deep roots here. Some of Shang Jianxiong's secret actions, especially when he does such a big thing, cannot be hidden from his eyes at all. What's more, Zhenlingyuan and Feihua Pavilion are already fawning over him.
He knew it before he did it.
After the attack, he failed, and he knew it. The remnants of the two factions had also asked him for help, hoping that he could give his Majesty advice to save the people hanging on the top of the city.
He came to the imperial study room to meet Shang Jianxiong just to test the truth. Whether he could make any comments and save people was the second priority. He planned to see Shang Jianxiong's reaction first.
Did something happen? Let Shang Jianxiong say it out loud. It's a good thing it didn't get too big. But if it did, he would be a fool!
Tian Yu spoke out to help the siege: "The envoy Gao Shaoming in Zhao offered advice to the old slave to get rid of Niu Youdao. The old slave was soft-hearted for a while and thought he could succeed, so he listened to him and without His Majesty's knowledge, mobilized men to attack the thatched cottage.
As a result, I missed it, and I am afraid that this time I will provoke Niu Youdao's revenge."
He took the blame alone.
"Eunuch Tian, when did this happen? How can there be another civil strife when the enemy is in front of us? You are so confused!" Tong Mo scolded Tian Yu with his feet stomped, but in fact he felt like a mirror in his heart. He was just cooperating. The emperor cannot have any
The fault is all the fault of the people below.
"Yes, yes, it's my fault that I'm confused. All my mistakes are my fault!" Tian Yu repeatedly bowed and confessed his mistakes. After acknowledging his mistakes, he said: "Master Xiang, you can cut this slave into pieces afterwards."
, but the state affairs cannot be abolished! You are old enough to seek the country, so you should try to save it!"
Shang Jianxiong stood there with a straight face and said nothing. He never dreamed that Nanzhou would dare to send troops to cause chaos.
"Alas!" Tong Mo looked up to the sky and sighed, then frowned and said, "That shouldn't be the case! Does Dachanshan dare to easily follow and cause trouble? Is it a deliberate bluff?"
Tian Yu: "Master Xiang, no matter it's a bluff or not, you have to be just in case!"
Tong Mo looked at the military situation in his hand again and said in a deep voice: "Don't dare to act rashly in Nanzhou, otherwise the three major factions will not be lenient. If you really want to raise troops against Dingzhou, you must have a legitimate excuse." He raised his head and said, "Your Majesty.
, you need to notify Xue Xiao immediately and ask Xue Xiao to beware of Nanzhou’s provocation! Tell Xue Xiao that no matter how Nanzhou provokes, you must endure it and never give Nanzhou an excuse to send troops! As long as there is no excuse, whether it is Nanzhou or Niu
If you are wise, you dare not act recklessly, otherwise the three major sects are not vegetarians and will definitely kill you as a warning to others!"
"Congratulations, Lord Sikong!" Shang Jianxiong nodded and praised. The gloom in his heart dissipated a lot, and he immediately said to Tian Yu: "Quick! Contact Xue Xiao immediately!"
Tian Yu nodded in agreement and ran out of the imperial study room quickly. He also knew that it was not too late.
However, Nanzhou had been planning for a long time, and it was definitely not a temporary idea. It was planned and then acted upon. After all, it was too late when the news came back from the reaction here.
…
In Xiaoyao Palace, Long Xiu had a dark face and held two letters of complaint, one from Niu Youdao and one from Shang Chaozong. The two letters came together.
Niu Youdao accused the imperial court of sending people to attack and kill thousands of monks in his thatched villa.
Shang Chaozong also accused the imperial court of sending people to sneak attack and kill nearly 10,000 of his defenders.
The court is unkind and unjust, and it is difficult to redress grievances. They both ask Xiaoyao Palace to make the decision!
"What the hell is Shang Jianxiong doing? Now that we are facing a powerful enemy, he is still engaging in internal strife. He can't kill him, so he has less trouble, right? Is he trying to force people to rebel? If he doesn't want to sit on the throne, he can give it to me.
Come out!" Long Xiu was furious and pointed at Yi Shu, "Contact Shang Jianxiong immediately and ask him to give me an explanation!"
"Yes!" Yi Shu took the order and left.
The elder on the side walked closer, "I'm afraid this letter accusing Chen of injustice has been given to more than just our family."
Long Xiu snorted coldly, "Does this need to be said?"
…
Dingzhou, a place close to Nanzhou, on the official road through the mountains and forests, a group of masked men killed a caravan to pieces.
Hearing the screams of a woman in the carriage, a masked man opened the curtain with a knife, and saw three young beauties in the carriage who were so frightened that their faces turned pale.
The several masked men who came closer to watch looked at each other with covetous eyes.
After everything has been done, we must take the opportunity to have some fun. Whether we will survive or not will have to wait until afterwards.
On another loaded carriage, someone opened the box on the carriage and looked inside, only to see boxes of gold, silver and jewelry inside.
As soon as the box was closed, he said hello, "Head, that's right."
The leading masked man waved his hand, "Let's go!"
The carriage containing the belongings and the carriage containing the three beauties immediately turned around and were quickly driven away. As for the corpses of the caravan servants, they were all thrown into the woods and hidden, leaving only traces of blood on the way.
Deep in the dense forest, a monk who witnessed this hidden scene let go of his golden wings and then followed quietly...
In the border mountains and forests of Nanzhou, thousands of cavalry were hiding and waiting. When the golden wings fell, the news arrived.
A commander in battle armor immediately ordered someone to use golden wings to send a message to the army at the rear, and then shouted loudly: "Let's go!"
Thousands of cavalrymen immediately mounted their horses, rushed out of the forest, and galloped along the official road accompanied by several monks.
The sentry post in Dingzhou was just ahead, and it was too late for the defenders to sound the gong and call the police. The cavalry who rushed in swung their sabers and killed them, leaving blood and flesh flying everywhere.
How many people could there be at the checkpoint? The small group of defenders fled in panic.
As soon as a monk in charge showed his head, he was entangled by two flying monks.
More than a thousand cavalrymen let go of their speed and flew all the way. In a short time, they caught up with more than a dozen masked men who had robbed the money.
The cavalry commander waved his hand, and the cavalry immediately divided into three groups and rushed into the mountains and forests on the left and right to outflank them from both sides. This situation really scared these people out of their wits.
They quickly captured all the robbers. These people couldn't stand the fright. When they saw a human head falling to the ground, they were so frightened that they revealed their identity. They were the defenders of the pass ahead.
These people had seen a box fall from the caravan carriage, raking out the gold and silver treasures all over the place. Seeing that there were few people in the caravan and the sparsely populated area ahead, they became greedy, that's all.
The arrogant commander on horseback came over with his sword and sneered: "You are in big trouble. Do you know who these three beauties are? They are the concubines of Yongping County Prince Xina. We were about to come to greet you, but you are
You are so courageous that you actually dare to blaspheme, insult, and rob the prince’s woman. Is there any royal law left in the court?”
"Ah!" The person who answered was so frightened that he fell to the ground, thinking that he could save his life by exposing the identity of the defender.
The commander ordered on the spot, "Take a few of them to the pass ahead to ask for explanations, and take the rest back to testify!"
Is there any other way to say that after several looters were sent back to the pass ahead, the guard was so frightened that he robbed the Yongping County Prince for his wealth and sex?
Who is Prince Yongping? He is someone who dares to go against the imperial court and robs the imperial court of Nanzhou. This is really a big joke!
The personnel were sent, several cavalrymen returned quickly, and the pass guard reported the situation urgently!
The army along the border of Nanzhou has been planning for a long time, so how can they wait for an explanation.
Without saying a word, the border forward army rushed into Dingzhou and swept across the territory, killing the unprepared Dingzhou troops to a pulp!
They don’t even care when the follow-up troops will arrive. This is really deceiving Dingzhou’s defense as it is empty after most of the troops are withdrawn!
The follow-up army from Nanzhou also advanced quickly and came with fierce momentum!
After that, Dingzhou robbed the prince's wife and sent people to sneak attack Qingshan County and killed nearly 10,000 garrison troops, which caused a lot of noise in Nanzhou.
The people in Nanzhou were very angry. They all scolded Dingzhou for bullying others. They were clearly thieves and bandits.
Want the court to hand over Xue Xiao’s head!
PS: Thank you to the new leader for your support. This new leader’s name is a little weird, so I dare not write it out. Thank you for your support!
