Xue Zhongbing interjected: "Yesterday, the junior talked and sat down with him, but he was just a pedantic bookworm, even if he had some skills, what was he compared to you, mage?" The younger generation thinks that this is such a small person, why should the mage do it himself? Yesterday's incident, there are many offenses in the next, please Haihan! ”

The mage said angrily: "With his skills, if the old man is present, it is easy to take his life, such as probing for things!" I, this iron-clad flower, is the embodiment of the cang's spirit, walking with the old man in the demon country, what ghost has not been taught? was injured by him, the old man was puzzled, yesterday I wanted to compete with him, to see what he was capable of, but I didn't want the son to protect him, the old man really didn't want to be angry with the son, so he had to give up. The caracal beast had already memorized the appearance of the man in white, and the old man fought with the man in white who had changed from the spell cast by the caracal, practicing the 'Xuanyin Three Spirits' mental method. The old man really can't rest assured, this person either has the help of the gods, or is a demon change, not an ordinary person, find out the bottom of it as soon as possible, otherwise I am afraid it will be a big disaster for your country! ”

Xue Heng smiled coldly and said, "The mage is too worried, why do you have to have swords, guns, swords, and halberds to kill?" If he becomes a moth again in the future, the old man will send him back to the West, and you don't need to do it all the time! Such a talented nerd is like a blade, which is used when it should be used, and thrown into the furnace afterwards! ”

The old mage pointed at Xue Heng and smiled, "Hahaha! You, worthy of the name of the Protector of the Kingdom, gods and demons, you are not as good as me, scheming, the old man will let you score three points! ”

Xue Zhongbing also boasted on the side: "The mage's miraculous skills have opened the eyes of the late students, and I am deeply impressed, and I am willing to look forward to the mage in the future!" ”

Xue Heng said: "The magic skills of the mage, the talented old man has been taught, and it is hoped that the chieftain will be defeated." After the deed is completed, I hope that the Master will say a few kind words for my son in front of His Majesty, and carry him forward. ”

The mage nodded and smiled slightly, indicating that he understood what Xue Heng meant, and said, "Xue Gong went around in a huge circle, and he got to the point. The old man sent someone to find it for Xue Gongzi, and he should think of the source of drinking water, and the grace of dripping water should be reciprocated by the spring, but the old man has something to ask Xue Gong for. ”

The father and son were a little surprised, and they didn't know what the mage was asking for.

The mage's expression was implied with mockery, and he said with a smile: "The old man was entrusted by the gods of Emperor Yuhua to help Huaxia meet the chieftain. If His Majesty can listen to the old man's advice, form a blue wolf army, and slaughter the chieftain will be just around the corner, but the old man has heard that Lord Xue has always advocated sticking to it, and he does not advocate rejuvenating the army and destroying the country! ”

Xue Heng knew that he had something to say, and knew what he meant, so he got off the donkey down the slope and said: "The old man advocates sticking to it, but it is really helpless, the treasury is empty at the moment, and the chieftain's 'poor' army formation is really good, and it is thankful that he can hold Hezhou, how can he talk about rejuvenating the army and destroying the country?" Since you can't win the battle against the 'poor' soldiers, then peace with them is the best policy. If you blindly send troops to fight, the warriors will be smeared with blood in the wasteland, the national strength will be wasted, and the people will be in dire straits! I wonder what the mage thinks? ”

The demon slayer walker pointed at Xue Heng and said with a smile: "Xue Gong, you are so unreal, Your Excellency is in charge of Huaxia taxes and grain, if you send troops to fight against the chieftain, the silver you want to make is like flowing water, how can Xue Gong not feel distressed?" The court officials are not big families, and this expenditure is used for the military, and I am afraid that there are not many of the silver in hand! The old man dared to guess that this was the reason why Xue Gong insisted on the peace discussion, right?! ”

Xue Heng listened to him and broke the mystery, and said with a smile: "Master Master, you are also straightforward, you really can't hide anything from your insight!" The old man admires! Hahaha......"

The Demon Slayer Walker said: "If Xue Gong can change the previous peace agreement and advocate the strategy of defeating the enemy in front of His Majesty, not only will the silver in his hand not be less than a slight, but your beloved career will have a bright future!" ”

These words hit the arms of the father and son, and the two were overjoyed.

Xue Heng said: "Since the Master Master loves dogs so much, what worries does the old man have?" I will definitely fight the enemy in front of the Holy One! ”

The mage was overjoyed when he heard this, and replied: "Xue Gong, I am really a wise and wise man, today the old man has a heart-to-heart talk with you, only to feel that we hate to see each other late, and you and I will support each other in the future and achieve great things together!" ”

The three of them talked for a while, Xue Heng presented the prepared gold and jade to the old mage, and the mage accepted it, and Xue Heng's father and son took their leave.

In the early morning of the next day, Xue Heng father and son and Yue Qing and others saw off the mage, and the convoy of the prince James Wei Yan was waiting outside the Xue Mansion, after Xue Heng explained to Wei Yan, the mage walked into the car, Xue Heng also sat in his own car, said goodbye to Xue Zhongbing, and drove away from Yong'an Palace.

The two drove to Yanshou Gate, walked more than 100 zhang to the left, and arrived at the Chongming Gate of the Prince's East Palace.

Xue Heng drove forward and walked to the main gate of Yong'an Palace, Chengtian Gate, Xue Heng walked out of the car and walked into the Chengtian Gate guarded by the pro-army. When the officials saw Xue Heng, they immediately calmed down, holding a wat board in their hands, greeting them with smiling faces, and they all stepped forward to greet Xue Heng.

Several people in the crowd ignored Xue Heng's arrival, and one of them was Zhu Chongwu, a scholar of the Qiying Temple in the cabinet. This person has a Chinese face, tiger eyes and beard, a tiger and a tiger look, about fifty years old, when he saw Xue Heng coming, he looked disdainful. Xue Heng pretended to ignore it, and the two had been at odds for a long time, and they repeatedly resisted, like enemies.

Zhu Chongwu's recommended capable military generals are all over the government and the opposition, and they are upright and upright, and Emperor Pingwu admires and relies on them very much, Xue Heng is difficult to find a handle, and has been secretly waiting for the opportunity to find his faults, and then frame them. Xue Heng thought of the jade pendant palace silk in his arms, and there was a burst of ecstasy in his heart, and he glanced at Zhu Chongwu contemptuously, with a smug and cruel smile on his face, just waiting for the court.

After another moment, the bells and drums on the Zhangde Gate Drum Tower in front of them rang in unison, and the eunuchs sang in unison: "Your Majesty has an edict, and hundreds of officials go to court!" ”

The officials in the order of the official rank, under the guidance of the eunuchs, along the central axis of the imperial city in turn, through the Taiji Gate, the Taiji Palace, the Vermilion Bird Gate, and then enter the Jianji Gate, along the Majesty of the Danqi climbing, the front of the Minghua Hall is impressively revealed, very magnificent.

Look around: the palace is stacked with Cui Wei's buildings, connected to the Haotian of the green and the underworld, and the bottom looks down at the residence of all living beings. The blue tree cloud pond is covered, the strange garden and the secluded pavilion are endless, it is really the residence of the emperor of Xiongqi, and the dragon and tiger are full of wind and clouds. Officials above the fourth rank stand in the palace, and low-level officials stand outside the hall. The civil and military officials are opposed to each other, and the princes and princes stand in front of the hundred officials.

They bowed four times, and then bowed their heads. Emperor Pingwu sat on the throne of the dragon chair and motioned for everyone to be flat. For a time, the hall was solemn and solemn.
