Looking at Duan Yu who frowned, Zeng Yi sighed and continued: "Fourth brother, let's put it this way, the imperial court's current finances are not equipped to deal with the four-nation coalition forces that are eyeing them, and there is no spare capacity to deal with other problems, but...
But Your Majesty’s body can’t hold on any longer! Once His Majesty dies, the world will be in turmoil.”
"Your Majesty, your Majesty is really..." Duan Yu's expression changed instantly when he heard Zeng Yi's words.
Zeng Yi nodded, "Once His Majesty dies, the clowns hiding in the dark will inevitably come out to cause trouble. In order for the court to deal with the threat of the four-nation coalition without any distractions, we must make preparations in advance and kill those clowns in the cradle.
Among them!"
With that said, Zeng Yi took out the letter from the old prince and handed it to Duan Yu, "Fourth brother, this is the letter from the old prince, the supervisor of the country, to you. The old prince hopes that you can take charge of the southwest and ensure the stability of the southwest!"
Duan Yu took the letter and read it carefully. After a while, he sighed: "Second brother, I didn't expect the situation to be so serious! But don't worry, second brother, as long as I am in the southwest, there will be no problems!" As Zhennan
Wang, Duan Yu is indeed confident to ensure that there will be no problems in the southwest. The Duan family in Dali has been operating in the southwest for many years and has an elite army of 100,000 people. It can completely deal with possible troubles, not to mention the masters of the Duan family Tianlong Temple in Dali. As long as there are
With these masters, the Jianghu in the southwest cannot make any big waves!
"This way the court can rest assured!"
...
They were silent for a while. Duan Yu looked at Zeng Yi and said again: "Second brother, do you think the Four Nations Alliance will really invade the Central Plains?"
Zeng Yi was stunned for a moment, then realized immediately, Duan Yu was thinking of Xu Zhu who was in Xixia, and Xiao Feng who was in the grassland. Xu Zhu was Xixia's consort, and even the nominal commander of Xixia's border army, while Xiao Feng was
The Khan of the grassland tribe. If the Four Kingdoms really invade Zeng Yi, it means that the four sworn brothers they have become enemies! Although Duan Yu understands that whether it is Xu Zhu or Xiao Feng, their influence on the Central Plains
No one will take the initiative to participate in the war emotionally, but the enemy is the enemy, even in name. This is somewhat unacceptable to Duan Yu, who attaches great importance to emotions.
Zeng Yi sighed again, "Hey... fourth brother, don't think too much. Neither the eldest brother nor the third brother want the war to break out, but there are some things that they cannot decide. The eldest brother and the third brother
The third brother's temperament means that if they are really unable to prevent the outbreak of war, they are more likely to retreat into the mountains and forests."
"Second brother, I understand, I just don't want, even if there is only a slight chance, our brothers will meet on the battlefield!"
"Hey, the eldest brother and the third brother may be able to hide in the mountains and forests to avoid these wars, but we have no way to escape. Whether it is for the family behind you, or for the tens of millions of people in Dali and even the entire Central Plains, we must be mentally prepared to deal with it.
Any challenge!”
Duan Yu, this guy, used to be an artistic young man with a little bit of talent. Zeng Yi was really afraid that this guy would escape from reality because of their brotherly relationship, so he couldn't help but fool Zeng Yi. Fortunately, he had gone through so much
Regarding things, Duan Yu has matured a lot, and after a while he said: "Second brother, don't worry, I won't escape reality."
Zeng Yi actually once thought that if there was a war between the Central Plains and the Four Kingdoms, the four brothers would fight each other on the battlefield. Although Duan Yu, Xu Zhu, and Xiao Feng were both NPCs, these three people really helped Zeng Yi a lot for so long.
Yes, comparing hearts, even a cat or a dog can have feelings. Not to mention Xu Zhu Duan Yu and Xiao Feng, who have incomparable charisma, Zeng Yi also didn't want the four brothers to meet in war.
Fortunately, Xu Zhu is completely from the Central Plains. Even if he becomes the Prince Consort of Xixia, his feelings for the Central Plains will not change. There is no way that Xu Zhu will participate in the war with the Central Plains. Although Xiao Feng is a man from the Khitan tribe in the grassland,
Growing up in the Central Plains, I even thought that I was a Central Plains person. In addition, Xiao Feng hated the invasion war so much that he would not participate in the war.
Time was running out, so the four of them did not stay at Duan's house in Dali for too long. After fooling Xu Zhu, the four of them set out again all the way to the capital.
From Persia, to Dali, and then to the capital, it took a whole day for the four of them to finally return to the capital. At this time, the sky had darkened and the city gate had been closed. Zeng Yi saw a formation waiting in front of the city gate, and three people on the wall.
The expressions of the soldiers who stood at one post and five at one post suddenly changed!
I couldn't help but say, "Mader, the emperor will never die!"
"Looking at the situation, it's really possible!"
"Fuck, we can't wait any longer, go into the city immediately!" Zeng Yi, who originally saw that the city gate was closed and planned to stay outside the city overnight and then enter the city tomorrow, took the lead and walked up.
"Who is coming? The city gate is closed, stop now!"
The soldiers on the city wall all took their bows and arrows and aimed them at the four people. Even the three-bow crossbows on the city wall were aimed at the four people.
Zeng Yi quickly shouted: "I am the commander of the Duwei Mansion, please open the city gate immediately!"
"Sir, wait a moment!" After a moment, the city gate opened, and a group of soldiers rushed out and surrounded the four people. The soldiers on the city wall kept aiming their bows and arrows at the four people without letting up at all.
Among the soldiers, a leader came out. After seeing Zeng Yi's face clearly, he immediately bowed and said: "See you, Mr. Ni!"
Zeng Yi showed his identity card, "Now that I have proven my identity, open the city gate immediately!"
"It's my lord!"
The city gate opened again, and the four people hurriedly entered the capital. As soon as they entered the capital, their expressions changed. As the capital of the empire, although the city gates would be closed at night, in the past, it became more lively at night, but today
In the capital, the four of them clearly felt something was wrong. Soldiers patrolled the streets, but not a single person was seen.
"What's going on?" Zeng Yi immediately asked the garrison commander just now.
"Reporting to your lord, since yesterday, the old prince has ordered a curfew in the capital. Except for court officials, no one is allowed to violate the ban at night. Anyone who dares to violate it will be shot to death!"
Upon hearing this, Zeng Yi felt more and more something was wrong, and couldn't help but said in his heart: "Made, the emperor has passed away, right?"
Curfew orders have existed since ancient times, especially in times of war and disasters, or in areas of special political and economic significance. Those who violate the curfew orders may be detained in light cases, or punished on the spot in severe cases. This is a special period,
Measures to control heavy laws in special areas. Now that the old prince has directly issued a curfew order in the capital, there is a high probability that something has happened!
