Rodo did not hesitate, and said in a deep voice: "Come with me!" With a flash of figure, he led a few people to hide behind the stone pile on the side.

The Heavenly Palace is a huge project, the materials used are very huge, the Heavenly Palace is certainly beautifully built, but those abandoned stones, for a while and a half, will not be cleaned up, and can not be piled up on the edge of the Heavenly Palace, but piled up in nearby places, this kind of abandoned stone piles, can be seen everywhere around the Heavenly Palace.

"No, it's not the prince's cavalry!" Chu Huan hid behind the stones, only to see that although the cavalry was galloping, but the formation was neat, ten horsemen were a horizontal team, under the moonlight, waiting for the cavalry to get closer, Chu Huan saw clearly, the cavalry on the horse was all red armor, and couldn't help but lose his voice: "Yes...... It's the Akabi Rush! ”

Although Chu Huan doesn't know much about the Liaodong Iron Cavalry, he also knows that the Chibei of Liaodong is the strongest cavalry corps today, and the Chibei Cavalry is all red armor and red helmets.

Mei Niang frowned and said: "Brother Huan, Chibei Tuqi is a horse of Red Refining Electricity, and they are also under the order of the prince to hunt us down?" ”

"Red refining electricity should not obey the prince's orders." Chu Huan shook his head and glanced at the queen, only to see that the queen's eyes were closed and her face was slightly pale, "He escaped from the Heavenly Palace, and now he doesn't know whether he is dead or alive." ”

"It seems that this cavalry is preparing to come to meet the red refining electricity." Mei Niang said in a low voice: "I'm afraid that I have long expected that Hexi's trip will be more auspicious and less ......!" ”

Chi Beitu rode like a dragon and a tiger like a tiger, roaring past, and disappeared into the night in a moment.

Chu Huan saw them leaving, and was about to carry the queen on his back, when he suddenly thought of something, and said to Luo Duo: "Big brother, can you solve the queen's acupoint first?" ”

Rhodo shook his head.

Chu Huan was stunned, and Luo Duo explained: "It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, after going up the mountain, I will explain it to you!" Without saying much, Chu Huan had no choice but to carry the queen again and the group ran to Beili Mountain.

……

……

The prince sent Xuanyuan Shao to lead the cavalry to chase Chu Huan and his party, surrounded by the ministers, and returned to the Juxian Hall worriedly. ”

When the ministers heard this, they were taken aback, they all changed color, and the prince's face sank, "Where are they now?" But to the Heavenly Palace? ”

"They first walked around the vicinity of Wuping Mansion City, and then walked back and forth near the Heavenly Palace, and did not approach the Heavenly Palace." Someone reported: "Now it's going to the southeast!" ”

Lin Yuanfang said angrily: "Without the will of the prince, the Chibei Tuqi dares to crisscross the territory of Hexi unimpeded, it is really lawless, what do they want to do?" ”

Ma Hong arched his hand and said: "Your Highness, the red refining electric rebellion has been revealed, and the Chibei Assault Cavalry is even more devoid of military law, so I ask Your Highness to immediately deploy troops to pursue Chibei." ”

Zhou Ting frowned and said, "No!" ”

"Lord Zhou said no?" Lin Yuanfang sneered: "Chibei is lawless in Hexi, shouldn't he chase after him?" ”

Zhou Ting also ignored Lin Yuanfang and said to the prince: "Your Highness, Chu Huan trespassed into the forbidden palace and held the queen hostage, I'm afraid it will be difficult to turn back, as long as he flees back to the northwest, the northwest will be chaotic." ”

The prince's expression was grim and he bowed slightly.

"The mind of the red refining electricity is unpredictable, and it is difficult to distinguish between loyalty and treachery when entering the palace this time." Zhou Ting said solemnly: "If the red refining electricity is not reversed for a day, the imperial court cannot declare to the outside world that he has rebelled, but there is no room for it." ”

The prince asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"Chi Liandian is the general of the empire, so far, he has not openly rebelled, and the soldiers and horses of Liaodong are also encircling and suppressing the Qingtian King of Hebei." Zhou Ting said: "In this case, no matter what the Red Refining Electric is, the imperial court needs him to hold back the Qingtian King, if he immediately sends an edict to the outside world to rebel against the Red Liandian, there will be no harm to the imperial court." ”

Xue Huai'an arched his hand and said: "Your Highness, what Lord Nayan said is extremely true. The Liaodong Army is currently being dragged in Fuhai, in this case, even if the red refining power has other intentions, but it does not dare to openly rebel at this time, even so, the imperial court can temporarily close its eyes, what the imperial court needs at the moment is time, and it must not force Liaodong too quickly. ”

The prince said: "What the two adults said is extremely true. ”

Zhou Ting said: "Your Highness's current priority is to stabilize the west of the river, the current shape shì, the southeast has fallen into the hands of the Tianmen demons, the capital of Luo'an has also been broken, and there is no peaceful place in the entire south of Fenshui." ”

The prince frowned, but looked at Zhou Ting sincerely, and said, "Zhou Nayan, in your opinion, what should we do next?" ”

"Weichen dared to say bluntly, with the current form, if you want to return to Luo'an Capital, it is already difficult to reach the sky, and if you want to recover the capital, you need to accumulate enough strength in the north." Zhou Tingzheng said: "Your Highness should take Hexi as the foundation, govern the provinces of Anyi, Xishan, and Hujin, calm the hearts of the people, gather wise men, accumulate money and grain, recruit soldiers and horses, and first determine the north, as long as the north is calm, you can go south to recover the lost land and restore Great Qin." ”

The prince's eyes lit up slightly, and he said, "What does Nayan mean, ignore Tianmen Dao for the time being?" ”

"Tianmen Dao originated in the southeast, and the damage to the northern roads is still shallow." Zhou Ting said: "Although Tianmen Dao is pressing step by step, but they are a group of demons and rats who have no long-term plan, just burning, killing and looting, they are originally civilians, but now they are poisoning living beings, as far as the minister knows, every time Tianmen Dao captures a place, he will let the local people join Tianmen Dao, obey the drive, but do not obey, then they will be tortured and killed, so demonic Dao, how can there be a long-term reason?" ”

"Not bad." Xue Huai'an nodded and said: "Tianmen Demon Dao, just like locusts, where they pass, chickens and dogs are not left, they only know how to loot, not to produce, three or two years are fine, as time goes by, there is no food to eat, it will inevitably be self-defeating." ”

"Your Highness doesn't need to cross Fenshui to kill, you only need to garrison troops in Fenshui, if Tianmen Road can't cross Fenshui, it can only be weakened day by day." Zhou Tingdao: "Now the south is not a top priority, but to integrate the north, as long as the north is pacified, the south will be short-lived after all." Although there are many robbers in each province who claim to be the king and hegemon, such as Zheng Taicheng and Huang Sheng in Sichuan, they are just a group of rogues, short-sighted, and limited by geography, they can only temporarily dominate one side, and it is impossible to plan for the long term. Jiangnan Shi clan will not support those bandits who divide one side in any case, and those people just want to divide one side and establish themselves as kings, His Royal Highness can not pay attention to it, the general trend of the world, it is to survive if you advance, and the code will die, they have no strength to enter, they can only defend one side alone, and they are destined to fail to achieve great things, but for the sake of small profits, attack and kill each other, after the death of Jinling Yuan Budo, the generals under his command fell apart and became kings, how can these people become great things, without His Highness sending troops to suppress them, they themselves will be destroyed in their own killing. ”

The prince sneered: "It's just some clowns who jump off the beam, don't be afraid." ”

"Your Highness's most important thing to pay attention to now is the northwest and Liaodong." Zhou Ting frowned and said: "Although the northwest is barren, but since the founding of the country, the Northwest scholars have not completely accepted their hearts, Chu Huan has won successive battles in the northwest, and issued the Juntian Order, recuperating in the people, occupying the right time and place, and the people of the northwest are fierce and brave in battle, and Chu Huan has already traded with Xiliang, traded salt and horses, and strengthened armaments. ”

Lin Yuanfang couldn't help but interject: "Your Highness, Chu Huan is mining new salt in the northwest, and the salt roads are all over the Guanwai Guan, and the day is making money. With a roll of his eyes, he said: "In the opinion of the minister, the most important thing at present is to seal the Xigu Pass and cut off the connection between Chu Huan and the Guannei, so that the new salt cannot enter the Guannei, and the grain in the Guanye cannot be transported to the northwest, and the northwest is short of grain, and the hungry people will inevitably rise up one after another, and Chu Huan wants to gain a foothold in the northwest, and it is no longer possible." ”

The prince thought for a moment and said: "What Lord Lin said is not bad, sealing the Xigu Pass, there are eight hundred miles of North Ridge as a moat, Chu Huan's Northwest Army can't enter the pass, it is the turtle in the urn." ”

Lin Yuanfang saw the prince's praise, and suddenly came to his senses, and said: "Da Xizhang, the guard general of Xigu Pass, is a general appointed by the saint to guard the pass, and he is loyal to the imperial court. According to the minister's knowledge, many people in the Guannai in order to avoid the war, have to the northwest to hide, including many of the gentry of the wealthy clan in the Guan, if they go out of the customs to the northwest, not only increase the population of the northwest, but also bring a large number of materials, to the imperial court has a hundred harms but no benefits, once the Xigu Pass is blocked, they want to go to the northwest is not possible, they can only look to the north, and Chu Huan can not continue to trade with the Guannei, killing two birds with one stone. ”

"What a plan to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle, wonderful!" Ma Hong praised: "Your Highness, Lin Butang is the best policy. ”

The prince's expression was calm, "Nayan, what do you think of what Lord Lin said?" ”

Zhou Ting hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly: "What Lord Lin said is not unreasonable. ”

Xue Huai'an frowned and said: "The Xiliang people invaded the northwest, the northwest is barren, and the displaced people are everywhere, so far it has not eased up, the northwest is short of food, if the Xigu Pass is blocked, it will certainly make Chu Huan unable to trade with the Guannei, but in this way, it will also make the northwest worse, and the people will have no food to eat, and they are afraid that many people will starve to death when the time comes." ”

Ma Hong immediately said: "Lord Xue, is this interceding for Chu Huan?" ”

Xue Huai'an has always been a good man, he is not easy to grudge with people in the court, and he is easy-going, at this time, he heard Ma Hong aggressive, he was a little annoyed in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "What do you mean by this?" What is intercession for Chu Huan? Although Chu Huan betrayed the imperial court, it does not mean that all the people in the northwest are traitors, blocking Xigu Pass is to cut off the way of life for the people in the northwest, since Xue is a courtier of Great Qin, can't he think about it for the millions of people in the northwest? ”

Lin Yuanfang snorted coldly and said: "If they support Chu Huan, they are chaotic ministers and thieves, and there is no doubt about rebellion, if they are really loyal to the imperial court, they should strangle Chu Huan to death, as long as Chu Huan dies, Xigu Pass can be opened." Lord Xue is now considering that the people in the northwest have no food to eat, even if the Xigu Pass is really opened and the grain enters the northwest, it is impossible for Chu Huan to use those grains to relieve the victims, and will only be used as military food to raise troops and rebel, so wouldn't it be a problem to raise tigers? ”

Xue Huai'an turned his face away, his face was full of anger, and he didn't pay attention to it.

The prince said lightly: "You are ministers in the same palace, and you express your opinions, all of which are for the sake of the country, and there is no need to argue." Suddenly he thought of something and asked, "How is my father now?" ”

The back garden was in a mess, but the queen was held hostage, and everyone didn't have time to take care of it for a while, so they only sent a few people to guard the garden.
