Yuan Qingling didn't expect that his father and emperor would not support him, no wonder the courtiers were against it.

In fact, many people are afraid of war, once the war starts, the mountains and rivers will be broken, the people will be displaced, and they will hang their hearts in their throats every day, especially now that everyone thinks that it is a peaceful and prosperous era, and at this time the belligerent will push the country into a place of no return.

But how did the provocation of the Northern Desert ever stop? When they joined forces with the Great Zhou, the Northern Desert was actually not really participating in the war, they had been accumulating strength.

And the big Zhou, which has a strong military force, has not dared to relax in the past two years, has been strengthening its own frontier strength, domestic economic development, and now Chen Jingting and his wife are also in Maocheng, stationed at the border with Xianbei, and Maocheng is separated by hundreds of miles, is the Lingge of the Northern Desert, which is also a military important place in the Northern Desert.

Da Zhou still didn't dare to relax, but the Northern Tang Dynasty slacked off, if the Northern Desert didn't beat him, who would he beat?

But she couldn't help with these things, looking at the upset old five, she could only comfort softly.

Yu Wenhao held her hand, adjusted his mood, and said, "Okay, don't talk about this, I'll dine with you, and I won't go back to the yamen today." ”

"Hmm!" Yuan Qing Ling replied and walked out with him.

Tang Yang and Xu Yi outside also followed, and after having lunch together, Tang Yang and Yu Wenhao entered the study.

In the evening, Yuwen Hao repaired a book to the King of Wei and asked him to pay attention to the movements of the Northern Desert.

A few days later, he calmly said that he had a letter back, saying that he was about to talk with the wizards in northern Xinjiang, and if it went well, it was expected to calm down the fighting, but northern Xinjiang made conditions, and everything else was easy to say, but the only thing was to exempt northern Xinjiang from permanent taxes, not to garrison troops, and not to set up a government to send officials, that is to say, northern Xinjiang is still autonomous and not subject to the jurisdiction of the imperial court.

Emperor Ming Yuan could not agree, let calm the talk, at most three years can be exempted from taxes, the garrison must have, but the north of Xinjiang must obey the rule of the king of southern Xinjiang.

This is the bottom line, it depends on how to talk about it.

At this critical juncture, Fourth Master Leng came to the Chu Palace, and this time he came directly with Yu Wenhao into the study.

Yuan Qingling watched him walk in, she had never seen the fourth master walk so fast in her life, in the past, she was walking a bird with her hands behind her back, but today she was particularly vigorous and resolute, and Rong Yue also followed, but Rong Yue did not enter the study.

Yuan Qingling pulled Rong Yue into the room, "What's the matter?"

Rong Yue let Lu Ya go out first, closed the door, and then came back to look at Yuan Qingling, and said solemnly: "The Tianditong of the Cold Wolf Gate got the news that someone offered one million taels of gold to buy the prince's head. ”

"What?" Yuan Qingling was shocked, one million taels of gold, that was exchanged for more than ten million taels of silver.

"Who is it?" Yuan Qingling asked subconsciously, his face was already white.

"It won't be anyone who can give out a million taels of gold," Rong Yue looked at her steadily, "Only one country has such a big financial resource, of course, it doesn't mean that no businessman can afford this silver, it's just that there is no need for a businessman to scatter his wealth and have trouble with the prince of a dynasty." ”

Yuan Qingling looked at her in a daze, "Is it the Northern Desert?" The people of the Northern Desert actually used this method? A million taels of gold! ”

"The fourth master said, the Northern Desert has been reckless in military force over the years, and the treasury has long been empty, so this million taels of gold, suspected to be Hong Lie's, when Hong Lie formed an alliance with him, he informed the Northern Desert people of the location of the gold, so after the Northern Desert people took this batch of gold, they first had to buy the prince's head, the prince was the main battle, once the prince had an accident, the Northern Tang Dynasty had no prince, there would definitely be a period of shock, the Northern Desert people took the opportunity to invade and kill us by surprise, if the war can be ended quickly, a million taels of gold is still worth it, Because the people of the Northern Desert can't afford to spend it, how can it cost more than a million gold for three or five or seven years? So, how is this deal worth it. ”

Yuan Qingling can really understand the sorrow of being born in the emperor's house this time, and he has the power in his hands, but he also puts himself in danger.

"Don't worry too much, the fourth master is here to set up defenses in the Chu Palace, and at the same time will arrange to secretly protect the prince, after all, the prince can't always stay in the palace, but this time, it is more severe than every previous crisis, one million taels of gold, how many people flock here, I really can't imagine, and according to the news found by Tianditong, it is very likely that the people who came out of the werewolf bones will come."

"The man who came out of the werewolf bones? Aren't they all almost dead? Yuan Qingling's heart pinched, how ruthless the werewolf bones are, and how high the martial arts are, you can know from the destruction of the sky and the red leaves.

"No, werewolf bones are a batch of three years, after these people come out, they will be used for Hong Lie for eight years, and if they don't die after eight years, they can be exchanged for a free body, and after these people leave Hong Lie, several of them come out to do black work."

"Black work?"

Rong Yue explained: "Black work is our jargon, that is, no matter who the target is, as long as the silver given is enough, the emperor will be ...... Well, they will go regardless of their status or preciousness. ”

Yuan Qingling was uneasy, but seeing that Rong Yue still looked a little speechless, he said: "You can say it together, and it will save me my own guesswork." ”

Rong Yue looked at her and sighed heavily, "After this bounty order came out, I heard that the guests from the south came out of the mountain, as for whether they came to the capital or whether they came for this million gold, I don't know." ”

"Southsider? Who is it?"

Rong Yue was also a little stunned when she talked about this person, and said: "He is a terrifying sword demon in the killer world, the fast sword is like lightning, the internal strength is profound, flying flowers and picking leaves can kill, even if it is ten zhang away, he can also kill people with sword energy." ”

Yuan Qingling's face turned white at the moment, and his whole body couldn't help but tremble, "Back then, the Su family paid 100,000 taels of silver to buy my life, which made the entire people in the rivers and lakes crazy, and now this million taels of gold, in addition to them, I don't know how many people will be moved by the wind, Rong Yue, Leng Wolf Gate has the ability to resist?" ”

Rong Yue couldn't bear to hide it from her, "Any gang, killer gate, or sword demon, werewolf bone, as long as it is not swarming, but as long as there is an order, the cold wolf gate can deal with it." ”

In other words, the Cold Wolf Gate actually can't guarantee the safety of Lao Wu, because there are too many people who can be urged by this million gold, and it is unimaginable to what extent.

Yuan Qingling's heart was cold, and even the fourth master said that there was no way, so there was really no way.

"Can you hide?" Yuan Qingling asked, and felt that he had asked a very stupid question, where can so many killers hide? If you can really hide, what is the difference between that and being killed? It can also let the Northern Desert take advantage of the void.

She said coldly: "It was said before that the people of the Northern Desert don't play conspiracy, it is indeed not a conspiracy, it is a heavy hammer, and my father still wants to keep Taoguang and obscurity, isn't it ......?"

Although he was very angry, he didn't say the word cowardice in the end.

"Don't worry about it yet, anyway, we will be ready for battle, in addition to the Cold Wolf Gate, there are also Ghost Shadow Guards, Hongmei Gate, and Gu Si's forbidden army can also help, but if you really want to fight, the prince is afraid that he will not be able to pro-government, otherwise, these people will become the helpers of the Northern Desert, these people have extremely high martial arts, and they come and go freely among the thousands of troops, and it is inconvenient to lay out the march, which is probably the second purpose of the Qin family, if you can't stop the Northern Tang Dynasty from going to war, stop him from taking command!"
