The vast palace city, there are several monarchs and ministers in the imperial study.

Hai Wuji, who was meticulously dressed in his hair and clothes, had a cold face, and stood with his hands in his hands, facing the book case with his back to several ministers.

Jinzhou suddenly took the initiative to disclose the news of Hai Ruyue's poisoning, which really caught this side a little off guard, and they all felt that Wandong Tianfu was unlikely to do this, and they were thinking about Jinzhou's intentions together.

"The Queen Mother has arrived!" the eunuch guarding the door suddenly shouted in a sharp voice, as if to remind the people inside.

The ministers turned to look at the door, and a graceful and luxurious old woman appeared at the door, with a dignified appearance, although she was already old, she could vaguely see the beauty of her youth in her rich state, which was Shang Youlan, the empress dowager of Zhao State.

"See the Queen Mother!" the ministers bowed.

"Queen Mother!" Hai Wuji walked quickly to the door and respectfully helped his mother's arm inside.

"Didn't bother you to discuss state affairs, did you?" Shang Youlan asked.

Hai Wuji smiled: "It's okay. ”

"That's good. Shang Youlan bowed her head, her eyes swept over everyone, and her slow tone revealed a majesty that was difficult to hide, "The mourning family and the emperor have something to say, you should retreat first." ”

Mother is more precious than son, and it is undoubtedly revealed at this moment.

Hai Wuji also immediately waved at everyone, but he was very filial.

"Yes!" the ministers bowed down to receive the order, and they all retreated, and they all went out.

An old eunuch with gray hair and a hunched back, his eyes cloudy, seemed to be so old that he couldn't even walk the rope, and he was walking out.

This person is none other than Zhuge Chi, the head of the Great Interior.

Shang Youlan shouted at him, "Old Zhuge didn't let you go, I was about to let you comment on something." ”

Zhuge stopped and looked up at Hai Wuji's reaction.

Hai Wuji smiled: "Queen Mother, what is the judgment or not, who made you angry again?"

An angry look suddenly appeared on Shang Youlan's face, "How long are you going to hide it from me?"

Hai Wuji realized that something was wrong, but pretended to be surprised, "Why did the queen mother say this?"

Shang Youlan said angrily: "Let me ask you, did you do Ruyue's poisoning?"

Hai Wuji's face was slightly gloomy, and he was angry in his heart, he was already deliberately hiding it from his mother, and he didn't know which one couldn't control his mouth, so don't let him find out when he turns around.

He defended himself: "Where did the queen mother hear the rumors?"

Shang Youlan shook her head with a disappointed expression, "Before, I felt strange when you asked me for things from Ruyue's childhood. You're still trying to deceive me? I'm not old and foolish! He's your only sister, how can you bear to do this?"

Hai Wuji had a cold face, and after holding back for a while, he said slowly: "Queen Mother, I have my difficulties. ”

"I know your difficulties. Shang Youlan patted her chest, emotional, "You are the ruler of the world, and I understand that you are a small family to take care of everyone." If you want to force your sister's family to be ruined, I will turn a blind eye, although you want to take the Golden State, but why do you have to put her to death and leave her alive?"

"Do you have to let her die before you are willing? When Yan Guo was a hostage, you pushed her out to please others in order to protect yourself, you don't know? I know, I just don't say it, how much humiliation she suffered for you? If it weren't for my nephew Shang Jianbo protecting her... After you returned to China and ascended the throne, in order to stabilize Xiao Huang, you forced her to marry Xiao Huang's sick son, have you ever thought about how bitter she is?"

"You single-handedly pushed her to this day, and now you think she is in the way, and you are doing this to her, why did you do it! What do you let the world think of me, how do you let the world see you! Can't you just give her a way to live?"

Hai Wuji was annoyed and embarrassed by the scolding, his face was a little unbearable, and he said in a deep voice: "Queen Mother, how many grievances you have suffered along the way, how many bitterness you have endured, you should know the word 'helpless' better than anyone else! This pattern of the world is deliberately created by some people, that is, to let the people of the world consume each other non-stop! For all countries, the situation is like a boat sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, no one can be comfortable, whoever dares to be in peace will perish, only by constantly becoming stronger, only if you are strong enough, can you resist enough risks. Queen Mother, Zhao Guo has no way out! There is no way out for his son!"

With a flick of his arm, he pointed to the ground behind him, and the last sentence was loud.

......

In the Yingwu Hall, in front of the hanging map, Meng Shanming and Shang Chaozong in wheelchairs pointed to the map and discussed.

Meng Shanming sat in a low position, holding a hand stick in his hand and pointing on the map.

When Dachan Mountain first came, it was not easy to hide this, and he had already informed Ga Miaoshui about his visit. And this side is not deaf and blind in Yan Kingdom, and the imperial court has begun to mobilize materials and people. In addition, Fang Zhe from Jinzhou informed in advance that Hai Ruyue was poisoned.

How can this side not know that the storm is coming, and quickly start to respond.

From time to time, heralds enter and exit the Yingwu Hall to convey the transfer of people from various places.

Lan Ruoting walked in quickly, and when the herald in the hall retreated, Fang informed: "Lord Wang, Meng Shuai, Dao Ye replied to the news, let's not panic, saying that the matter of Hai Ruyue's poisoning was made public by him in Wandong Tianfu, let us ignore this matter, how to deal with it here in Nanzhou, just prepare for the situation, he will be in charge of Jinzhou, and he will notify this side in time if there is any situation." ”

Meng Shan shook his head: "It's good that Dao Ye knows it in his heart." ”

......

"Hai Ruyue is poisoned at this time?"

In the main hall of Dachan Mountain, Huang Lie stared at the newly sculpted statue of the ancestor on the throne and muttered to himself.

Several elders behind him took turns to check the secret letter that came, and their faces were solemn.

Someone said: "It seems that Yan Ting and Zhao Ting are premeditated, and they want to join forces to act on both sides at the same time, and Nanzhou is in danger!"

Huang Lie turned around: "Niu Youdao hasn't replied yet?"

One disciple said, "Three letters have been transmitted, but so far, there has been no reply. The news from Qingshan County said that there was nothing abnormal on the side of Maolu Villa, and the people of the three factions did not see any abnormal movements. ”

Huang Lie frowned: "What do you mean by that guy?"

An elder said: "Master, the wind and rain are coming, do you want to reply to Ga Miaoshui?"

Huang Lie waved his hand and said: "You have also seen that guy's previous methods, he is not a vegetarian, I don't believe that guy can sit still, he will definitely react, see how he responds first, and it is not too late to make a decision when the army is pressing." It's time for us to move around, go to the city, and respond at any time. ”

......

A house in the capital city of Jinzhou is also the foothold of Nanzhou here.

On the beams and pillars in a room, Chao Shenghuai was tied to his head, lowering his head from time to time, and looking up and sighing from time to time.

The creaky door opened, Zhu Laoba came in, came in with food, and placed it on the table beside him, "Brother Chao, let's eat something." ”

Chao Shenghuai shook his head, "Don't eat!"

Zhu Laoba, who was about to untie him, smiled, "Drink some water?"

Chao Shenghuai: "Don't drink! Where is this? I want to see Niu Youdao." ”

As soon as he arrived in Qingshan County, Niu Youdao was not seen, and he could not leave, so he was restrained on the spot, and then he was taken here.

He didn't know where this was, brought by the lethargy, as a person who lived in the mountains for a long time, he felt that the freshness of the breath around him was not like being in the mountains, like being in a city.

Zhu Laoba: "Dao Ye is very busy now, I don't have time to see you, I will naturally see you when I am free, what are you anxious about." Eat something, your cultivation has not yet reached the legendary realm of transcendent sanctification and transcendence of the flesh, don't get along with your body, it's not worth starving. ”

Chao Sheng was angry, "How do you want to give a happy word, so that Niu Youdao can come to see me, otherwise everyone should not think about it!"

"Shhhh ”

......

"Old horseman, try it!"

Gao Shaoming, the Yan envoy at the banquet, slapped the table and stood up, pointing at the Song envoy Tu Huaiyu and scolding angrily.

The night banquet of Liufang Pavilion entertained VIPs from all over the world, and someone suddenly came to the courtyard of Yan Kingdom and whispered to Gao Shaoming, saying that he found that the people on the side of the Song envoy wanted to rob their golden wings.

So under questioning, the two sides quarreled at the banquet, and it happened that the place where the banquet was held was the place where Niu Youdao killed Yan and Song Long, Tu Huaiyu sneered at him, so that Gao Shaoming was careful to follow in the footsteps, and Gao Shaoming was angered on the spot.

The retained mages outside the pavilions on both sides immediately rushed in.

Bang! Li Wuhua also slapped the table and stood up, and said in a deep voice: "What do you mean by the two of you? When I am in Wandong Tianfu, is it an ornament? If you want to fight out of Jinzhou, you will fight again, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind!"

Li Wuhua's complexion was not good-looking, and the haggard look on his face was difficult to hide.

Let him appear like this, also because of his identity, in this Golden State capital city, he is the most suitable person to replace Hai Ruyue to entertain distinguished guests.

"High Envoy, don't forget that this is in my Zhao Kingdom, you'd better be restrained. ”

Zhao Sen, who was present, poked coldly, but in fact, he was mentioning that at this time, don't cause trouble, especially to provoke Song Guo.

Gao Shaoming glanced at it, snorted coldly, waved his hand to signal Master Suihu to retreat, and slowly sat down

The rest of the people here also have their own ghosts, and they all know that this Golden State is afraid that it will not be peaceful for long, and a wild rainstorm is coming.

Wei envoy Sui Pai and Qi envoy Zuo Annian warned Zhao Sen during the banquet, and the meaning of the words was also to warn Zhao not to mess around, otherwise the two countries would not sit idly by.

Chu Xiangyu, the Jin envoy who has always been strong, is like a peacemaker today, and he raises a glass from time to time to persuade everyone to calm their anger.

As for Han Envoy Zhuge Xun, he basically sat there and ate and drank happily, but his eyes looked left and right from time to time, as if he was watching the play from the outside.

Of course, everyone inevitably asked Li Wuhua, how is Hai Ruyue's body?

Li Wuhua has no comment.

As soon as the night banquet ended, Li Wuhua went straight to the Assassin's Mansion, and when she arrived at Hai Ruyue's sickbed, she looked at Hai Ruyue, who was pale and haggard on the couch, and couldn't bear to look at it anymore, so she turned her head and left.

When he came out and went to his son's room, he first said hard work to a few fellow disciples, and only glanced at his son, who was blue in his sleep, and couldn't help but burst into tears and muttered to himself, "What kind of sin have I done!"

He knew that his son wouldn't last a few days, and that's all he had for a few days.

......

Early the next morning, there was a commotion in the Thorn History Mansion, and many disciples of the Ten Thousand Caves Heavenly Mansion flew onto the roof, alerting a bird hovering in the air.

On the bird stood a man dressed in white like snow, with a handsome face, fair skin, a calm and calm expression revealing an elegant and chic, carrying a bamboo basket behind him, and his eyes looked down at the mansion below.
