Orange Mountain is not majestic, and although the temple on Orange Mountain is not as magnificent as the Imperial Palace, it is solemn and sacred. However, in such a solemn and sacred place as the top of Orange Mountain, there is an ordinary courtyard.

In the small courtyard, an old man with a sixtieth armor was hoeing grass in the vegetable field in coarse cloth clothes, and the door squeaked, Bian Qingdou gently came to the vegetable field and said in a low voice: "Teacher." ”

This old man in coarse cloth turned out to be the oracle of the temple!

The old man was hoeing the grass and asked, "What's wrong?" I see you look worried. ”

Bian Qingdou whispered: "Teacher, just now the news came from the flying pigeon, the barbarian envoy entered the capital of the Great Zhou. ”

The old man paused slightly, stopped his movements, held the hoe and frowned slightly: "The barbarians have entered Beijing?" ”

Bian Qingdou nodded and said: "Yes, teacher, the barbarian envoys are in the court of the Great Zhou, claiming to return to the Great Zhou, and ask the Great Zhou to raise troops to go south, the barbarians are willing to be the vanguard, and I only hope that the Great Zhou can let the barbarians migrate to the Central Plains to live after dominating the world." ”

Bian Qingdou said as he spoke, his brows couldn't help frowning, now that Da Zhou has the intention of moving troops to Southern Chu, Tang Ning not only has hundreds of thousands of troops in Da Zhou, but also can command 100,000 iron horsemen in the grassland.

With the strength of the Great Zhou and the 100,000 iron cavalry of the grassland, can Nanchu resist it? Hard! The only hope is that there are barbarians eyeing the side, and Da Zhou and Nan Chu do not dare to use troops with all their might.

Now even the barbarians have returned to the Great Zhou, not to mention that the barbarians also use troops against Nanchu, but the barbarians stand by and watch, and the Great Zhou and the grassland send troops with all their might, and Nanchu can't resist it.

Nanchu is in danger, the temple is in danger, and Bian Qingdou can't help but be shocked when he receives the news.

"Teacher, at present, Da Zhou has not promised the barbarians to submit, but only sent people to the Great Wilderness ......"

The old man put down the hoe, sat cross-legged on the hoe like an ordinary old peasant, looked ahead in a daze, the sun shone on his body, and a coarse cloth clothes looked very sacred, and there was a sense of twilight in the sacredness.

The old man sighed: "Back then, Jun was full of ambition to take over as the adjudication department, and he was bent on shining the glory of the temple to every corner of the world, and began to send people deep into the grassland and into the Great Zhou to spread the glory of the gods, in fact, I was a little hesitant. ”

"But I think I'm probably old and don't have the motivation to fight for God, so I'm willing to grow vegetables and serve God."

"I didn't expect that the temple would be at a critical moment now, alas, who would have thought that the prince who was a hanger at the beginning would be as wise as the sea."

Bian Qingdou regretted himself and said: "Teacher, in fact, it is all my responsibility, if I didn't do it at the beginning......"

The old man waved his hand and said: "It's not your responsibility, you still don't understand, this game of chess has already been settled in more than ten years, and Jun Wei has been calculated by others." ”

"Why are you a disciple of the Sword Pavilion following Tang Ning's side? Because Tang Ning was originally the person chosen by the Emperor and the Pavilion Master of the Great Zhou, the person who was selected to dominate the world! ”

Bian Qingdou said: "Teacher, how can Tang Ning dominate the world, how can he subvert the temple, the glory of the gods we represent, spread the will of the gods, how can the gods watch Tang Ning offend the majesty of the gods?" ”

The old man was silent for a while, and then whispered, "Qingdou, do you think there is a god in the world?" ”

Bian Qingdou was slightly stunned, then his face changed greatly, he took two steps back, and said in surprise: "Old, teacher, you, you ......"

The old man said lightly: "More than ten years ago, I was like you, convinced that there was a god in this world, and then I grew vegetables here for a long time, but I began to waver, until the appearance of Tang Ning, that half of the words made me firm again." ”

Bian Qingdou said in a hoarse voice: "Teacher, you, you are the seat of the Oracle Division, you, how can you shake your faith in God??" ”

The old man said: "I have indeed wavered, so I am willing to grow vegetables here to atone for my sins." In the past few years, the news of Da Zhou has come one after another, and I have been confused. ”

"Downing knows the oracle, why does he know the oracle? Nature is God's will! However, why did he raise an army to attack the temple? ”

"Is it because the temple is against God's will? Is this God's punishment for the temple? ”

Bian Qingdou said gloomily: "Maybe it's because our approach to Tang Ning has caused God's dissatisfaction, and it is a punishment from God!" ”

The old man looked to the north and said, "So, I plan to go to Da Zhou in person." ”

Bian Qingdou was shocked when he heard this, now that the Emperor of the Great Zhou has died, the whole of the Great Zhou must hate the temple to the core, although the teacher is the world's respected oracle secretary, but Tang Ning dares to risk the world's condemnation to start a war, who knows if Tang Ning will be unfavorable to the teacher.

Bian Qingdou hurriedly said: "Teacher, don't do it, this is too risky, now Da Zhou is very hostile to my temple, how can you risk going to Da Zhou?" Teacher, I'm willing to go to Da Zhou, I'll ask him! ”

In fact, Bian Qingdou had long wanted to ask Tang Ning, and now she had very complicated feelings about Tang Ning, not to mention that her senior brother Ye Bei died in Da Zhou.

The old man looked at Bian Qingdou and nodded slowly, "It's okay." ”

Although the news that the grasslands and barbarians had sent envoys to the Great Zhou had not yet been widely circulated in Southern Chu, it had already spread in Orange Mountain.

Even if these news spread in Southern Chu, people would only think that the Great Zhou was vainly trying to negotiate peace with the barbarians, and they would not have thought that the Great Zhou would unite with the grassland to raise troops to the south.

Only the upper echelons of the temple, who knew the inside story, were worried, and even panicked, and they had not yet come up with an idea of what to do.

And at this moment, Bian Qingdou quietly descended the orange mountain, and rode towards Da Zhou alone, she did not make a big fanfare, nor did she deliberately disguise.

Along the way, the people of Southern Chu still lived peacefully, and they did not realize that war was likely to come.

A peaceful and prosperous scene, why do you have to use troops? The country is full of devastation, the people are displaced, are you so patient?

Tang Ning was pacing anxiously in front of the warm pavilion in front of Kunning Palace, and the Kunning Palace was very nervous as if facing a great enemy, and a group of imperial doctors stood with solemn faces.

Mingyue walked out with a little pale face, and Tang Ning hurriedly asked, "How is it?" What do you think? ”

Mingyue hurriedly said: "Don't worry, it's fast, it's fast, it's fast, Wen Po said it's fast!" ”

also said not to worry, Tang Ning is now sweating profusely in a hurry, it has been three hours, and he really has a feeling that his days are like years.

Chuncao ran out sweating profusely and shouted, "Go and tell the imperial dining room, the queen wants to eat!" ”

Before Tang Ning could speak, Hong Cheng had already pulled out his legs and ran towards the imperial dining room.

The imperial doctor hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the mother must eat well, and eat more to have strength." ”
