The Valley of the Underworld.

Chen Qingzhi and Zhao Yun led the army out of the city non-stop, and now Donglai's army is still some distance away from here, if they can ambush in advance, plus Zhao Shi'an's army, they will definitely be able to strangle Donglai's main force!

Yang Guo stood quietly at the head of the city, his face was dark, and after a long time, he summoned the Condor to rise directly into the sky!

……

Dongnae Palace!

Donghuang woke up leisurely, saw the maid beside the bed, and said directly: "Go and invite the national teacher over!" ”

After speaking, he lay on the dragon couch with a dark face, and it didn't take long for the national teacher to hurriedly walk in, and when he saw the haggard look of the Eastern Emperor, he immediately sighed in his heart, but he still saluted respectfully: "Your Majesty!" ”

The Eastern Emperor yawned and spoke softly, "How is the situation in the west?" ”

The national teacher's face was very ugly, and he said in a deep voice: "I have sent out several waves of scouts, but there is still no response!" ”

The Eastern Emperor's gaze suddenly stared straight at the National Teacher, and he said in a condensed voice: "Tell me, what's the situation?" ”

The national teacher's face was extremely unnatural, and in the end he just turned into a long sigh and said in a deep voice: "Both sides are lost!" ”

"We have captured the Valley of the Underworld, and the Xia army has taken the Juque Pass!"

Seeing that the Eastern Emperor's face had not changed at all, the national teacher continued to speak: "Now that the prince's army has been cut off by Great Xia, I'm afraid it will ......."

Donghuang's face suddenly changed, his eyes also became fierce, and he said directly: "Since this is the case, then I will take the imperial expedition in person!" Fight to the death with Great Xia! ”

The national teacher's face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty! Never! ”

"Why?"

The Eastern Emperor climbed down from the dragon couch with his body propped up, his eyes were deep, and he said: "Now that Juque Pass has fallen into the hands of the Xia army, once they have annihilated all the army of King Yue, they can immediately drive straight in!" ”

"At that time, my imperial capital will be exposed under his nose!" The Eastern Emperor's face was pale, and he said sharply: "Now, Yishui City, Surabaya City and even Mishui City have all fallen into the hands of Great Xia, and now they have to fight!" ”

The national teacher was silent for a long time, and after a long time, he spoke: "Your Majesty! Xia Jun will never fight! ”

"Why?"

"Because someone will definitely not watch Great Xia grow stronger and stronger!" The national teacher suddenly showed a smile and continued to speak: "Originally, Daxia was already on the cusp of pacifying the Nanban, but now, even breaking through my Donglai Three Cities and One Pass, with such strength, even the one in Xianyang City should be deeply jealous!" ”

When the Eastern Emperor heard the explanation of the national teacher, his face was stunned for a moment, and then he spoke: "The national teacher! What are the odds of winning if we take the initiative? ”

The national teacher shook his head slightly: "There is no chance of winning!" ”

"After two major battles in a row, now our dynasty has less than 100,000 troops, and Daxia alone has more than 100,000 troops in the eastern border, not to mention how many soldiers and horses in Chang'an City have not moved, these 100,000 troops alone make us helpless!" The national teacher sighed lightly: "The only way to defend the city is to defend it!" ”

The Eastern Emperor suddenly clenched his fists, and then let out a long sigh: "Great Xia has unknowingly become so strong, and he can even stretch his hand to my Tianlai City!" ”

"Your Majesty!" A trace of hesitation flashed in the eyes of the national teacher, as if he wanted to speak a little and stopped, and the Eastern Emperor glanced at him lightly: "If you have anything to say, just say it!" ”

"Your Majesty!" The national teacher saluted respectfully: "Forgive the minister, for today's plan, I'm afraid I can only negotiate peace with Daxia!" ”

"Peace?" The Eastern Emperor's reaction was indeed very fierce: "Now that I, Donglai, have hundreds of thousands of Erlang died on the battlefield, now that peace is being negotiated, how can I face them?" ”

"But Your Majesty! We're at the end of our rope! The national teacher's face was dark: "Although Great Xia can't be defeated for the time being, but now the three cities and one pass are all in the hands of Great Xia, and there are nearly 100,000 iron horsemen eyeing each other, and they may lead the army to attack at any time!" ”

"In this way, my Donglai may face annihilation at any time!" The national teacher paced back and forth, and continued to speak: "Only by taking back the three cities and one pass first, guarding the country, recruiting troops, and raising obscurity, can we take revenge!" ”

The national teacher persuaded him with a bitter heart, of course the Eastern Emperor could figure it out, but it was really difficult for him to accept it if he was like Daxia bowing his head!

"The top priority is to purge Tianlai City once, pull out all the nails of Great Xia, and not let our hearts hide a dagger!"

The Eastern Emperor did not answer directly, but changed the topic and said: "National Teacher, you can handle this matter personally, you must uproot the shadows of Great Xia, and let me and the civil and military officials sleep well!" ”

The national teacher nodded slightly, "I've already sent someone to do it!" That's right, Your Majesty! King Yue is out of danger! ”

The Eastern Emperor nodded lightly, with a contemplative look on his face, and after a long time, he asked softly, "National Teacher!" What do you think of King Lu? ”

The national teacher's face suddenly changed, he was silent for a long time, and after being silent for a while, Ning Sheng spoke: "Your Majesty! Be careful! ”

Donghuang also sighed for a long time: "King Yue has such a big thing, do you think he can still hold it?" ”

"Your Majesty, the top priority is to stabilize the situation and restore the government first!" The national teacher's face was full of bitterness: "Now, the news from the east has come back, and the people are all panicked, and the people's hearts are not stable!" ”

The Eastern Emperor directly asked people to change his clothes, and after he was dressed neatly, he directly said in a condensed voice: "Immediately summon the ministers to come to discuss the matter!" ”

……

Luo Chen returned to Nanling Villa, first took a look at Yu Shao, and after finding that everything was normal, he sat in the courtyard with Zhang Sanfeng and told him all about the process of going!

Zhang Sanfeng suddenly showed a sneer on his face, and said softly: "Your Highness, this is a temptation for you!" ”

"Temptation?"

Luo Chen suddenly frowned, and asked puzzledly, "What do you mean by this?" ”

I only heard Zhang Sanfeng speak: "They want to use His Highness's hand to test my attitude, or if His Highness accepts it, they can work for you directly!" ”

Luo Chen suddenly became more and more confused, only to hear Zhang Sanfeng continue: "What happened back then, the Five Elements Sect was indeed my enemy, but after that battle, the strength of their Five Elements Sect was greatly damaged, and they have been pressed by Nanling Mountain Villa and Ten Thousand Poison Sect for so many years, how can they be willing!" ”

Suddenly, a figure walked over, it was Yun Duchen, the owner of Nanling Mountain Villa, and said with a smile: "What are you both talking about?" ”

Luo Chen smiled and told Yun Duchen what had just happened, wanting to see what could be revealed from his mouth!

Yun Duchen suddenly laughed: "This Five Elements Gate is ready to hug your thighs!" ”
