Chapter 237 No.30 Scene: Planning [-]

"Your Majesty even drove away his own guards, isn't he afraid that the old minister will hurt you with weapons?"

Seeing the new emperor waving his hand and ordering the six tall and burly Zhi Jinwu who followed him to leave the tent, Ying Ren narrowed his eyes, and the word threat was written all over his face.

Luqiu Borong was not intimidated by him at all, instead he took three steps forward and stood only one foot away from the opponent, staring straight at Duke Peng's ferocious and terrifying face:
"With Uncle Ying's skill, if you want to take the opportunity to kill me, a 'false emperor' who seeks power and usurp the throne, how can you wait until now? Besides, you have even put the dagger in its sheath. Could it be that you are so confident that you can fight with your bare hands?" Kill me without being noticed by Zhi Jinwu who is close at hand outside the account?"

Ying Ren was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly pulled up the corner of her mouth, revealing a strange smile:

"It's really scary to be young. It seems that I am really old, and I can't even scare a little girl."

"Uncle Ying asked me to invite other people out, isn't it just to talk about these things?"

Luqiu Borong was not moved at all, and asked a little aggressively.

The smile on Duke Peng's face disappeared almost instantly, and the next words were more direct: "His Majesty actually wants to ask the old minister why he sent the fleet south, and why he attacked the capital of Ye Kingdom and slaughtered the city for several days. right?"

Xindi did not respond, but the expression on his face had already given the answer.She didn't hide her distrust of this old acquaintance who was neither an enemy nor a friend at all, or she didn't want to hide it at all.

Ying Ren immediately said seriously: "If the old minister tells His Majesty that the fleet is no longer restricted by our Peng Kingdom, will you believe it?"

"The ship going south is your five-tooth warship of the Peng State standard, the siege weapon is your Peng State's blue flame, and the city slaughterer is also a soldier in Kuilong leather armor, and the one held high in his hand is your Peng State's. Hammerhead Shark Flag. Now you say that these people are not listening to your orders, even if I want to believe it, the people in the world will never believe it."

"The old minister originally thought that His Majesty didn't like the little ghost king of Ye Kingdom who was wearing white clothes."

"I really don't like it. But now that I am the emperor, my personal likes and dislikes are no longer important. The person Uncle Ying needs to persuade today is not me, but the whole world. Otherwise, the Peng Kingdom is guilty, and you—— are the chief culprit." .”

Faced with Peng Guogong's rhetorical question, Luqiu Borong seemed to have his own answer.The flesh on Ying Ren's face opposite him twitched imperceptibly a few times, as if he was trying to hold back his disdain for the new emperor in front of him.And his next response seems to have been planned for a long time:
"Your Majesty is well aware of the details and knows everything about Wanzhou. If so, you should know that the fleet flying the flag of Peng has already left the coast of Ye State."

Luqiu Borong didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the other party's gourd, so he just nodded his head, signaling him to finish his sentence.The Duke of Peng Guo also continued to speak very cooperatively:
"The old minister knows exactly where the fleet is going, so he sincerely invites His Majesty to march northward together, catch up and capture the man who led the army. In this way, it will naturally prove my Ying family's innocence, and my Peng country's innocence."

"Go north? Where do you think the fleet is going?"

Xindi suddenly felt as if he had a premonition.This premonition was so strong that she almost wanted to interrupt him.However, in the end, he still held back.As it turned out, her hunch was correct.Ying Ren's next words were exactly the same as what the all-powerful empress had guessed in her mind:
"That fleet is now heading north at full speed, heading towards the ice field that no one has ever visited in the ghost state. They went there to find a powerful force capable of commanding the world. If they are one step ahead, even the world will If there are a few more countries from Ye and Peng to support His Majesty, there is absolutely no way that Da Xinchao can be his opponent!"

This time, the heir of the Luqiu Clan was finally surprised by the opponent—after Chi Lang retreated, she personally led the army to the ruins of Yujing City, and in the scorched ruins of Xingyuan Pavilion in Yongyang Palace, Several ancient scrolls that were not completely burned were found.According to the records in the volume, the ancient city that Mr. Kun once mentioned to him is located in the far north, the frozen continent called the ghost state, but few people have ever visited.

When he heard about this city for the first time, Luqiu Borong dismissed it at all, thinking that it was just a bait used by Kunjie to lure him to him.However, now, these ancient scrolls that were once treasured by the Bai Jiang family and unknown to the world suddenly changed her mind.She really began to think that everything was favored by the heavens, and the power of the ancestors recorded in that volume must be in her pocket.

Therefore, when it is learned that a remote country that has not participated in political affairs for a long time has dispatched a fleet that is said to have lost control and is rushing towards the spoils that belong to it, it is like throwing it into the originally calm water. A stubborn stone was thrown in, and the new emperor clearly felt a strong threat.

Although she was not able to determine whether the words spoken by Duke Peng were true or not.But she knew that instead of being able to do anything about it now, she needed Ying Ren's help.And no matter what the facts are, I must immediately set off to go north, and I must not let anyone, anything, or even any rumors threaten the position of emperor that has been held in her hands so hard!
Half an hour later, the rulers of Huaiyou, Nanhua, Yu, Dun, and Cheng gathered in the tent again, but they were surprised to find that the new emperor and Yingren, who had apparently had a little estrangement from each other, had actually reached an agreement.And when they learned that Luqiu Borong wanted to lead his army northward, heading overland to the ice field that no one had ever been to, everyone's faces showed surprise, bewilderment and fear.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking bluntly. The reason why the land west of Wuping Mountain is called the Ghost State is precisely because of its steep terrain and harsh climate. Any living thing going there will only have a dead end. Now we have to use at risk-"

Tan Yijian, the lord of South China, opened his mouth to persuade first, but before he could finish speaking, he saw the Duke of Peng who was standing behind the new emperor move his fingers, making a gesture to draw the dagger at his waist, and immediately shut his mouth obediently.

Even when the Dasheng Dynasty was at its peak, none of the emperors of the Baijiang clan ever thought of continuing to go north.But maybe this move was too radical, except for Nanhua, the other five countries who originally bowed to Luqiu Borong, unexpectedly started admonishing him with one word at a time.

When the princes and kings in front of him calmed down again, the new emperor who had just ascended the throne cleared his throat and said solemnly:
"Everyone, I know that for the sake of Daxin, your subjects and relatives, you still have many worries in your heart. I also know that going north is quite risky. If you are not careful, maybe everyone, including me, will be afraid again. Can't come back alive."

"Your Majesty, please take it back."

Yu and Dun were the first to bow their buttocks, followed closely by Cheng Guo and Huai You.In the end, even Tan Yijian, the lord of Nanhua, knelt on the ground on one knee.

Because they all know that if they forcefully go north now, they are using their already weak national strength to make a risky gamble.If it fails, perhaps even the more or less family business that is currently in hand will cease to exist.

However, Luqiu Borong is not someone to wait for.She knew exactly what plans were going on in the minds of the nobles in front of her, and she knew even more what they were afraid of.She didn't want to say any more, but waved her hand, signaling to Jin Wu beside her to push into a wooden cage cart that had been prepared and covered with thick linen from outside the tent.

As the cage car entered the account, an unbearable stench quickly permeated.There seemed to be some kind of living thing locked in the cage car, and it sensed the movement outside, and began to let out low growls, and even pulled the chains in the cage, rattling.

"Everyone, please don't forget that just two months ago, I and my soldiers went through a fierce battle with those fierce beasts at Suoyang Pass, in Yujing City, which has long since ceased to exist!"

As the new emperor said, he took two steps back and gave the wooden cage cart to the princes and princes beside him, "If you don't believe the wolf head I sent earlier, you can take off the cloth on the cage and see for yourself. Look at how terrifying a living wolf is! Mr. Nanhua, maybe you can help everyone if you are troubled?"

However, the more she said this, the paler the faces of the five princes and kings except Ying Ren became.Tan Yijian shook her head vigorously, raised her sleeves to cover her mouth and nose, but was still retched by the stench coming from the car.

Luqiu Borong finally showed a smile again at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes swept across the faces of the other four kingdom leaders in turn.Wherever the eyes pass by, the opponent immediately avoids his eyes, fearing that he will not be able to avoid them.

Seeing this, the new emperor waved his hand, ordered Renzhong to push the wooden cage cart out again, and said:

"The galloping wolf is certainly terrifying, but what if I tell you that there is a powerful force far beyond our imagination that can help you, help me, and help Daxin completely get rid of the harassment of these beasts?"

"Women's opinion! If they really have such supernatural power, why would the Baijiang clan prefer to sit back and watch their rights be emptied by that Gao Li all these years, but they couldn't save the situation?"

The first one to choke was Nanhua Gong Tan Yijian.

Luqiu Borong did not comment on this rude rebuttal, but walked slowly behind the other party:
"Mr. Qin's words are wrong. Whether the successive emperors of the Baijiang clan tried to find this divine power, I don't know. It is even doubtful whether they knew about it. Besides, the Baijiang clan is in the past, how can it be used as an analogy?" at the moment?"

Speaking of this, her eyes became sharp again, "Could it be that you would rather stay in this Suoyang Pass and wait for the pack of wolves who do not know when they will eventually find a way to go south to attack your palace gate, or Are you unwilling to follow me to the north to find a way to eradicate these beasts?"

After the new emperor finished speaking, he turned around suddenly, and without waiting for Tan Yijian to say anything else, he stabbed the opponent's neck from right to left with a beam-style iron cluster hidden in his sleeve!

Nanhua Gong would never have imagined that his disrespectful words would eventually lead to his death.He immediately raised his hands and pressed the wound desperately.But the iron cluster pierced through the superior carotid artery, even though the palm of the hand pressed it, the blood still gushed out from between the fingers, and it couldn't be stopped at all.

Tan Yijian slowly fell to the ground and died.Seeing this situation, the three kingdoms of Yu, Dun, and Huaiyou immediately knelt even more piously, regardless of the fact that the blood pooled into a red puddle in the tent, which wet their lower skirts and sleeves.

"The minister is willing!"

"The minister is also willing!"

Yin Qianzhi saw Luqiu Borong's thunderous tactics, and finally realized that even if his father Yin Qujian was alive, he could not stand against him:
"Cheng Guo's army, horses, food and grass are at your Majesty's command!"

"The remaining ships of the Peng Kingdom and the blue flames in stock are at your Majesty's disposal at any time!"

The last one to respond was Ying Ren, who was always within five steps behind the woman.Although he was the one who persuaded the new emperor before, the thunderous tactics of the old man's daughter also made him feel a little chills down the spine.

However, none of them knew that there was no Chi Lang in the wooden cage cart that was pushed into the tent before.Those smelly and foul smells were struggling with the sound, but they were disguised by two strong sergeants with the feces and urine buckets of the soldiers in the pass.Not to mention that there are no wolves to follow in Changzhou today, even if they know where those giant beasts are now, even if they are as powerful as Luqiu Borong who has just ascended the throne, he would never dare to order Guan Ning's soldiers to take the risk of capturing them back to the pass.

However, as she said, nothing in this world can escape the word "little".Now, everyone, including himself, has long been pushed by an irresistible force, and has to choose as much as possible to let things develop in the direction that is most beneficial to them, but they don't know what is waiting on the road ahead. What is the ending...

In the book "Shi Yu Lu" written by the great historian "Xun Gong" of later generations, there is a special volume "Da Xin Zhi Yi".The scroll records the enthronement ceremony at Suoyangguan as follows:

"In the first year of Daxin Yaoning, in October, the emperor summoned the princes to meet at Suoyang Pass. It was passed down to the world and enthroned to succeed Datong.

At that time, ferocious beasts ran rampant in the north, the Yu capital was destroyed, floating corpses were everywhere, and black crows blocked out the sun.All the princes persuaded the emperor to stick to Guannan, but the emperor wanted to follow the example of Bai Jiangxi, the ancestor of the previous dynasty, and lead the army to kill the beasts to calm the world, so it was argued.The five states of Huaiyou, Yu, Dun, Cheng, and Peng all knelt down and bowed down to submit, but Duke Jian of the Qin clan of Nanhua refused to obey and killed him.

In the same month, Emperor Rengong of the Ying family of Peng Kingdom was appointed as the general, and he personally led a coalition of [-] troops, went north out of Tongyan, entered the wilderness, smashed the barbarians, passed through Wuping, and took the Guizhou..."
