That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 622 The Unexpected Son, Outsider

Xu Beiyou restrained his thoughts, turned his head again, and looked at the empress in his wife's arms.

The relationship between the two is very subtle, even up to the moment before the empress died. Empress Xu, who was born in a princely family, looked down on Xu Beiyou, a humble person, and Xu Beiyou also didn't like this one who was biased and harsh towards his wife. Mother-in-law, after some fierce words in Feishuang Palace, the two of them were generally in a state of not interfering with each other.

It's just that now that people are dead, it is said that the dead are the greatest, and that little grudge has completely disappeared.

Xu Beiyou lifted his robe and knelt down, bowed his head and worshiped.

It doesn't matter that she is the queen of a country, it's just because she is the mother of her own wife.

Xiao Bai had calmed down a little, and said in a deep voice: "People from Ghost Palace have already killed here, and the situation on Father's side is probably even more dire."

Xiao Zhinan regained consciousness from the previous trance, and said in a nasal voice: "This time the great enemy is coming, the father should have expected it, it was only a bad move that turned into the current field. With the overall situation in mind, we should return to the imperial capital immediately."

Xu Beiyou got up slowly, and said softly: "I'm afraid His Majesty will not be willing to just retreat like this. The snake is in the hole, and if you can't hit it, you can only lure the snake out of the hole. This time, Your Majesty used his body as bait to finally lure two poisonous snakes out." , and even got bitten, how could His Majesty let go of the two poisonous snakes so easily? The situation seems to be critical now, but Lan Xiang, Wei Dadu, and Mr. Pingan have not made a move, and His Majesty still has the power to fight."

Xiao Zhinan corrected: "To be precise, it's a poisonous snake. King Wei didn't show up."

Xu Beiyou nodded and said, "After all, Wei State is located overseas and is blessed with no disasters. The King of Wei can afford to wait, but the Khan King of the Grassland can't afford to wait."

Xiao Baidao: "The reason why our Daqi court can sit in the world is not because of how many earth immortal monks we have, but because of the five forbidden armies. Now the left army is in the northwest, the right army is in the northeast, the front army is in the southern border, and the rear army is in the south of the Yangtze River. Only the Chinese army defends the imperial capital, if the Chinese army can rush to help in time, not only will the crisis be resolved, but also these rebellious officials and thieves will be severely defeated."

Xiao Zhinan frowned, "Based on King Wei's strategy, he would not fail to consider the Chinese army. Since he dared to attack, he must have the means to deal with the Chinese army."

Xu Beiyou suddenly asked: "Is the new Chinese military governor Qu Chang'an reliable? If this person changes and the Chinese army blocks the way back to the imperial capital, or even encircles this place with a large army, then we will be in a desperate situation."

Xiao Bai and Xiao Zhinan looked at each other, and said slowly: "Qu Chang'an has never had any ambitions. According to common sense, it is impossible for him to do such a rebellious thing."

"Everything is just in case, how can we use common sense in times of crisis?" Xu Beiyou said in a deep voice, "Your Highness has just said that the King of Wei will definitely have the means to deal with the Chinese army. If we want to mobilize a large army to cross the East China Sea to contain the Chinese army, or let the prairie cavalry go south to Yanzhou, then the best way is to target Qu Changan, the governor of the Chinese army."

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly condensed.

Xu Beiyou went on to say: "The four ghost kings of the Ghost King's Palace are Kong Yixiao, Xu Jingwei, Meng Dongfei, and Luo Nanxing. Now Luo Nanxing has been killed by me, but the other three are still hiding in the dark and waiting for opportunities. Your Royal Highness, you must guard against it."

Xiao Bai frowned and said, "What do you mean?"

Xu Beiyou said: "Wait, since His Majesty asked us to come here earlier, there must be some arrangements. It's just that we didn't expect the king of Wei to deploy a backhand in advance. This is a short move, but His Majesty should have a backhand to deal with it."

Xiao Zhinan said softly: "We are in the light, and the enemy is in the dark. It is better to be quiet than to move. I support Nangui's idea."

Xiao Bai pondered for a moment, then nodded.

……

Circular Mound Altar.

Three Daoist masters appeared in the vast snowstorm.

In addition to Gongsun Bai who led down the thunder and Li Chuang, the Taoist Gao, there is Qingye from the sixteenth floor of the earth fairy.

Without further words from His Majesty the Emperor, Fu Zhongtian, the Left Governor of the Dark Guard House, Wei Wuji, the Right Governor of the Dark Guard House, and Zhao Wuji, the Palm Seal Governor of the Tiance House, stepped out to meet them.

As a result, there are already 12 Earth Immortal cultivators who have formally fought.

The imperial court has dominated the world for 50 years, and all the talents in the world are in the game. There are many masters. It is indeed a difficult thing to assassinate the emperor in the imperial capital. If you are in the imperial capital now, you only need to open the three-generation dynasty. The big formation in the imperial city, and there are experts in the same realm to restrain you, even if you are the eighteenth floor of the earth fairy, you will also have the fear of death, not like now, where it seems to be life and death, but in fact you can advance or retreat situation.That's why His Majesty the Emperor left the imperial capital on his own initiative, came to this Circular Mound Altar, and led the snake out of the cave.

Holding the wine bottle, His Majesty the Emperor said to himself: "This game of chess is still at the stage of just playing the game, and it is still far from the end. It is too early to say who will win and who will win."

He said with emotion: "However, in all fairness, I am not as far behind that uncle in terms of chess strength alone. It is just that I occupy a commanding position, just like a handicap on a chessboard. There are many more pieces for no reason, so I can play the current one. situation."

Xiao Xuan turned his head to look at Qin Mumian, and asked: "The most important thing in a chess game is to grasp the timing. Concubine, are you curious why I choose to make a move at this time?"

Qin Mumian shook his head, but did not speak.

Xiao Xuan said calmly: "Because of the internal turmoil in the Taoist sect at this time, there is no time for others to care about it. If the Taoist sect hadn't restrained most of the power because of the dispute over the first disciple, then what I saw today would not be a Taiyi rescuer of suffering and three great masters. , but the Dazheng with the number of hands, by that time, even if it is the imperial capital of Zhen, they will dare to go there."

After a moment of silence, Qin Mumian said softly, "Many years ago, I met Xiao Jin. At that time, he told Xiao Yu that the general situation of the world should not be like this. Xiao Yu and Lin Yinping should die in In the Grassland Royal Court, Daoist Master Qingchen should be in charge of the Taoist sect, Qiu Ye should become a puppet master, and he will not be able to take over the authority of the Daoist sect until Master Qingchen ascends to the ascension, and Shangguan Xianchen will not die. Zun Fei ascended to the sky, and in the end, his surname was not Xiao, but Cha, but for no reason, everything was messed up. Xiao Yu did not die on the grassland, but instead entered the northwest, and his rise was unstoppable. As for Qingchen being expelled from the Taoist sect, Shangguan Xianchen died and Dao disappeared, even breaking the thousand-year-old pattern of confrontation between the Taoist sect and the Sword Sect."

Xiao Xuan said with a slight sarcasm in his tone: "Xiao Jin doesn't understand, but I have a guess or two. Emperor Wu Zuchun once mentioned the idea of ​​foreign visitors. He Xiao Jin was originally a son of an outsider. For some reason, he flew into the chessboard and landed on his own. Take root, let the chess game with a fixed number produce infinite variables, the chess pieces that should have died did not die, and the chess pieces that should not have died died instead. Facing the changes in the situation, the chess players in the dark naturally have to respond. Therefore, the former emperor became the favored person, from an idle piece to the most critical piece, he just suppressed Xiao Jin, the accidental piece that disturbed the chessboard."

Lan Yu said softly: "Your Majesty's words are reasonable. Ever since the late emperor left, the King of Wei has been ready to move. First, he provoked the temple turmoil in the 20th year of Taiping and the first year of Taiping behind the scenes. Only after doing all these things can we have what we have today.”

Xiao Xuan looked into the distance, "In addition to telling my own reasons, I also have to finish what my father failed to do back then."
