His Majesty the Emperor Daning set up a banquet in Dongjiang to reward the local officials and border soldiers in Dongjiang, His Majesty drank too much wine and was in a good mood, and a personal guard hurriedly came in during the banquet, whispered two words in His Majesty's ear, His Majesty's face changed suddenly, got up and left, and everyone in Dongjiang looked at each other one by one, not knowing what was going on.

Everyone looked at the general Pei Tingshan, and Pei Tingshan was also at a loss.

If something happens to Dongjiang, His Majesty knows, and he should know about it.

Seeing that His Majesty left in a hurry, could it be that something happened to Chang'an City?

Not long after, the chief of the chamberlain returned to the banquet on behalf of Fangzhou, saying that His Majesty invited the general Pei Tingshan, the commander of the patrol sea division Shen Leng, the university scholar Mu Zhaotong and others to the palace to discuss matters, and the atmosphere became tense for a while.

The emperor sat behind his desk, holding a piece of brown paper in his hand, and on the table there was an open wooden box, which seemed to have just been fired, and when everyone entered the room, they saw His Majesty's solemn face, and no one dared to speak first.

"Pei Gong."

The emperor handed the kraft paper in his hand to Pei Tingshan: "Look at it." ”

Pei Tingshan was overjoyed, and this joy came out on his face, but he deliberately suppressed it.

Your Majesty has something important, the first one still has to tell him, not Mu Zhaotong, a university scholar, nor the young man Shen Leng who he looks at horizontally and vertically, there are five or six adults in the room, and His Majesty still cares about him the most.

Pei Tingshan took the kraft paper with both hands and looked at it, and his face changed: "It's a little troublesome now." ”

He handed the kraft paper to Mu Zhaotong, and although Mu Zhaotong was a little reluctant after reading it, he still handed it to Shen Leng.

"Something happened to Heiwu."

The emperor's tone was a little low, obviously in a bad mood.

"I plotted the northern frontier, naturally not from these two years to start planning, many years ago I heard that the Black Martial Khan Emperor Kuo can be defeated Wan Lie is a stubborn and self-righteous personality of a violent person, poor soldiers, so happy achievements, so I arranged for people to go to the Black Martial Arts side, it took two years to become a close person to Wan Lie, and it took four or five years to gain trust, with him by Wan Lie's side, it can make this already belligerent person even more crazy, only if he is crazy, will he move to Daning first, I let Wan Lie know that I will use troops against the Black Martial Arts within five years, forcing him to do it first, I also knew that the treasury of the Black Martial Arts was empty, so they made the first move, and after three or five years, I waved my army to the Northern Expedition, and it was decided by a war. ”

The emperor sighed: "But Wanlie was killed." ”

The secret letter sent said that Wanlie, the emperor of the Heiwu Kingdom, was strangled to death by the queen and several palace maids while taking a bath......

He died so hastily and so suddenly, that His Majesty's arrangement of Heiwu's side was suddenly chaotic.

"It stands to reason that the violent death of the Heiwu Khan Emperor is a good thing for Daning, but the person who took over the Khan Emperor is a wide rival Samburu, this person ......."

The emperor frowned: "It's a hundred times stronger than Wan Lie." ”

Pei Tingshan lowered his head and said: "Wanlie is not worried, the minister also heard that he is a violent person, unkind, Heiwu has a lot of complaints about him, but I didn't expect to be strangled to death by the queen of Heiwu and several palace maids, Samburu This person is careful and cautious, he is not the main battle, not that he is afraid of war, but he knows that Heiwu has internal and external troubles, this person has become the new Khan Emperor, I am afraid that Heiwu will change his strategy against Daning." ”

The emperor nodded: "This person is a great disaster. ”

He pondered for a while: "It is rumored that there are three great sword masters by the side of the Black Martial Khan Emperor, who are almost inseparable from him, how could they be strangled to death so easily?" ”

Who knows why.

Only then did Shen Leng understand that the emperor was plotting for the Black Martial Arts, not to mention the Daning Horse Force, and even sent people to the Black Martial Arts to divide the relationship between the Black Martial Emperor and the courtiers, but he didn't expect such a big mess.

"My people have to be withdrawn, Samburu wants to kill him, he hurriedly sent someone to send me a secret letter before leaving, and it is not known where he is at this time, I am afraid that it will be more than lucky."

The emperor said: "The people I sent have been operating in Heiwu for many years, originally according to the original plan, he urged Wanlie to move troops against Daning in the spring of next year, and I have already arranged countermeasures in northern Xinjiang, in order to consume the troops, financial and material resources of the Heiwu people, I have even ordered Tie Liuli to abandon the newly acquired Baicheng and Hanhai City, lure the enemy into depth, and drag the Heiwu army for three or three years...... I abandoned two or three border cities and dragged down the national strength of the Black Warriors. ”

The emperor was obviously in a bad mood to the extreme, and his tone became more and more gloomy.

"All the work has been lost."

According to His Majesty's plan, His Majesty's arrangement of the people around the Heiwu Khan Emperor Wanlie has been successful, prompting Wanlie to move troops to the north as soon as the spring of next year, and now Samburu has become the new Heiwu Khan Emperor, all plans must be overturned, Samburu and Wanlie are completely different, although this person is not very old and can be scheming and knows how to forbear, if Heiwu no longer attacks the northern Xinjiang of Daning from now on, three or five years later, the national strength of Heiwu will recover, and His Majesty's Northern Expedition will become extremely difficult.

"Originally, there were people from me on Wanlie's side, and the black warriors would attack the northern frontier year after year, and the national strength was always being consumed."

The emperor shook his head: "These things are not discussed for the time being, the matter of the Northern Expedition is put aside for the time being, and I have to bring my people back first." ”

"Who's that man?"

Pei Tingshan asked.

The emperor glanced at Pei Tingshan: "I can't tell you yet." ”

Pei Tingshan was speechless, but his face was displeased.

"Has Han Zhaozhi arrived?"

"It's almost there."

"Let him come to me as soon as he arrives."

The emperor waved his hand: "Shen Leng stays, you all go back." ”

Pei Tingshan glanced at Shen Leng with a cold light in his eyes, he didn't say anything, turned around and left the palace study, and Mu Zhaotong, who had not said a word from beginning to end, also left, his face didn't look like there was any change.

"My people must be extremely dangerous on the side of Heiwu, I asked Han Zhaozhi to take someone to pick them up."

The emperor left his seat and paced back and forth in the room: "After Meng Changan arrived, I didn't keep him, let him go to Baishan Pass immediately, your sailor is on standby at any time, if my people arrive at Baishan Pass, your sailor will send a ship to bring me back directly by sea, there is no room for loss." ”

Although Shen Leng didn't know who that person was, he could see from His Majesty's look and tone that he cared very much about that person, His Majesty.

Think about it, you can know how difficult it is for that person, to sneak into Heiwu, and even become a close minister of the Khan of Heiwu Country, in Heiwu, a country that is extremely hostile to the Ning people, what kind of wisdom does it have to have, and what kind of courage does it have to have?

"Obey."

"I had arranged for him to come back from Baishan Pass, but I didn't expect it to be so sudden, if there was no such thing, on the side of Baishan Pass, I felt that let Meng Changan go to sort out slowly, there were still three or five years to wait, with his ability, I believe that he can guard Baishan Pass well, and he can also clean up the original Yan Kaisong's people, but now that this incident has happened, his people may not be enough, you choose a competent person from among your subordinates to be his helper, and then allocate hundreds of elite soldiers to him as a personal soldier."

"Obey."

Shen Leng pondered for a moment: "Yang Qibao can go." ”

"Hmm."

The emperor thought for a moment: "Promote Yang Qibao to the rank of five-rank general." ”

Shen Leng immediately lowered his head: "Your Majesty." ”

At the same time, the land covered with ice and snow in the southeast of Heiwu, you don't necessarily meet a living person for hundreds of miles, the villages here are sparse, and most of the people who are willing to live in this bitter cold place are a few tribes who are trying to escape the suppression of the Ghost Moon People, and they would rather survive in such a harsh environment than deal with the Black Warriors.

Dozens of horses whizzed by, snow carried by horses' hooves flew into the air, and these knights were wrapped in thick felt blankets, and cotton scarves covered their mouths and noses, revealing only a pair of eyes.

The exhaled heat quickly froze into ice on the scarf, and everyone had the same eyebrows, and they looked back from time to time, looking a little embarrassed on the vast snowfield.

After running for several hours in one breath, the men and horses were exhausted, and the leader pointed to the birch forest in the distance, and the team rushed towards it.

Dozens of people rushed into the birch forest, the leader got off the horse and moved his limbs, and then waved his hand and commanded, and his knights began to shovel snow and dig pits, depending on the weather, the wind and snow would soon come, if they were not prepared, they would all freeze to death here.

However, if the wind and snow come, it can also cover the hoof prints left by them along the way, everything is uncertain, and bad weather may not necessarily bring bad things.

The snow pit was dug so large that if the horses froze to death, there would be no hope for them to escape back.

"Pick up some bark and feed it to the horses."

The leader pulled the thick scarf around his face down, lowered his head and grabbed a handful of snow foam and threw it on, and after seeing the direction of the wind, he asked people to adjust the direction of the snow pit.

"After surviving these three days, we will have a glimmer of life."

He sat down and gasped for breath, the white heat quickly forming a layer of ice on his face.

"Your Excellency."

His subordinates handed over a jug of wine: "Warm up." ”

The man snorted, wiped off the ice ballast on his face with a thick glove, and his eyebrows appeared, it was Yang Shide, the fake Ning man beside the Emperor of the Black Martial Kingdom...... Where is he a fake Ning person, he is a real Ning person and a fake Yue person.

If it hadn't been for Wan Lie's accident, he wouldn't have run for his life like this.

"It's a pity."

Yang Shide's face was a little ugly: "After planning for six or seven years, it was actually disturbed by a few palace maids. ”

But I can also think that the three great sword masters around the Black Martial Khan Emperor actually had accidents one after another and were killed one by one.

It took him two years to get close to the Black Warrior Khan Emperor Wanlie, and his cleverness lies in the fact that he said that he was a Ning person or a descendant of blood, but as long as a discerning person carefully observed, his identity was easy to be recognized, but this was his deliberate doing, if he made the Black Warrior believe that a Ning person could follow the Khan Emperor with all his heart, it would be too difficult.

But if the Heiwu people believe that a fugitive nobleman from the Nanyue Kingdom is desperate to follow the Heiwu Khan Emperor, it will be much easier, so that the court of the Heiwu Kingdom knows that he is a Yue person, and he wants to use the Heiwu Kingdom to avenge Nanyue, so who still suspects that he is a real Ning person.

Who would have thought that the dignified Heiwu Khan Emperor actually fell asleep while taking a bath, and then was strangled to death by the queen and a few powerless palace maids, Samburu ascended the throne, and the first thing was to declare a complete truce, not only against Daning, but also against the surrounding countries, and then he was to be killed......

Samburu didn't know that he was really Ningren, but Samburu knew that Wanlie had been reckless in the past few years, and it had something to do with him.

"Your Excellency."

His subordinates pulled him back from his thoughts: "Why do we want to go to Baishan Pass?" That's the territory of the Bohai people. ”

"It's safer than going to the northern frontier, one is nine deaths and one is ten deaths, I have made an appointment with Your Majesty, if you come back, you will go to Baishan Pass."

Yang Shide raised his head and looked at the dark sky: "Even if I die, before I die, I will return to Your Majesty." ”

......

[The cold worsens and I feel groggy, and there were many clerical errors in that chapter yesterday, which have been slightly modified, but the general idea is about the same. 】
