The Xingyun Pavilion was suddenly silent.

This is the emperor's favorite clean place!
No one here dares to make a loud noise, let alone break into the door!
This is also the place where the emperor's [-]th birthday banquet is held tonight!

Zhang Jingchu is an old man next to the emperor, he is the chief eunuch in the palace of Wu Kingdom!
He has a high position and authority, and is deeply trusted by the emperor.

He has seen many ups and downs in his life, and at his age, he should never have acted recklessly like this!

If it was an ordinary matter, he would definitely wait until the emperor's birthday banquet was over, or even wait until the emperor was in a good mood before mentioning it.

But now, he actually broke in!

That must be a big deal!
But the Wu Kingdom has been in peace for a long time, so why is there such a big deal?

Of all the people present, only three understood.

Xia Mo frowned, and he was also surprised, and he couldn't see anything strange at all.

Xia Liu heard his father talk about the matter of Wu Yaguan at the mansion, he thought his father had suffered from hysteria, after all, how could there be no news about such a big matter?

At this moment, when he saw Zhang Jingchu's flustered appearance, his heart skipped a beat. What his father said was probably true!

The other is General Gou Zhong!

He was still extremely nervously looking forward to the big event that the emperor Jinkou would decide on the crown princess!
As long as one's own daughter becomes the crown princess, then the loss of Wu Ya has nothing to do with the son... The emperor and the prince will definitely be furious, but for the sake of the royal family, the son's life is definitely safe.

As long as the son's head is not beheaded, after two or three years, it will not be difficult for the son to make a comeback if he works again.

Although the matter of the son is also a major event, in comparison, the matter of the daughter becoming the princess is the real major event for the Gou Mansion!

The most difficult thing now is the level in front of me!
Ji Shufang knew about Wuyaguan immediately.

But Mo Wangchen didn't tell the prince or the emperor about it immediately, but told him Gou Zhong!

It was a late night five days ago.

No one knew that he drank three pots of tea with Mo Wangchen in Jishu Room!
This is a big chip.

Mo Wangchen used this news to sell it for a good price!

Mo Wangchen promised to hide the news until the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month before delivering the news to the emperor.

But now it is the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, and there are still five days left... Could it be that I am thinking wrong?
Gou Zhong also looked at Zhang Jingchu with an uncertain expression.

Zhang Jingchu regretted it the moment she broke in!
Reckless!
What should I do if I didn't hold my breath at this age?

He stood at the door for three breaths, and during these three breaths, his face returned to normal.

He walked over, came in front of Emperor Wu, and bowed: "Your Majesty, this servant is old. When he first entered the door, his feet fell and fell, and he bumped into the door and shocked the emperor... Slave deserves to die!"

Emperor Wu frowned.

This old eunuch is a middle-level expert, and he has always acted calmly, so how could he be vain?

It is even more impossible to break through this door so nervously!
Obviously something big happened.

But what else can Wu Guo do?

Emperor Wu pondered for ten breaths, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

He picked up the teacup again and took a sip of tea, "What kind of wind and rain have I never seen in my life?"

"Here are all my humerus ministers. Even if something really big happens, I still need to discuss it with them."

"Say!"

"What exactly happened?"

Zhang Jingchu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "This... Your Majesty, do you want to invite your Majesty to the study?"

Emperor Wu's heart skipped a beat, "Just say it here!"

Prince Wu Qian was also extremely nervous at this time.

Of course, he didn't know anything about Xiayuanzhou, and his nervousness came from the conflict between him and Concubine Shu!

Concubine Shu is his father's concubine!

If you see him on weekdays, you have to call him concubine mother!

If this matter is exposed, it will be the crime of adultery in the harem!

The royal father will definitely be furious. Executing Concubine Shu is a trivial matter, but deposing the East Palace, imprisoning himself or even exiling him is a major event!
This matter has been going on for more than a year, and I have always been cautious. Even Jishufang can hardly detect it. What is the problem?

Could it be that Yan'er betrayed herself?

Just when Wu Qian was restless.

Just when everyone held their breath and looked at Zhang Jingchu nervously.

Zhang Jingchu bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, Wuya Pass... There are some problems in Wuya Pass."

Gou Zhong's heart tightened suddenly, but Wu Qian's heart suddenly relaxed, and he raised it again after a while.

Emperor Wu was still holding the teacup, he pondered for three breaths and took another sip, Zhang Jingchu's words fell lightly, but he knew that Wuya Pass must have been lost.

"Oh……"

He put down the teacup, slowly got up and stood up.

He walked a few steps in front of the tea table with his hands behind his back, turned around, looked at Zhang Jingchu, and asked again:
"Ning's army will lose a lot if they want to capture Wuya Pass."

"As far as I remember, the Red Flame Army only...about 8 people."

"There are [-] defenders in Wuya Pass, it seems that Gou Kuo is being careless... Isn't there still [-] elite soldiers in Qicheng Village?"

"Gou Kuo leads the [-] troops to attack Wuya Pass again, how can the Red Flame Army hold it?"

Zhang Jingchu lowered her head slightly, "This... Your Majesty, the Chiyan Army uses fireworks!"

Emperor Wu was stunned, "When Xia Li was guarding Wuya Pass, the Red Flame Army also used fireworks to attack. Didn't it mean that fireworks cannot be thrown on the pass wall?"

"Back to the emperor, the Red Flame Army has been silent for half a year, and they have built a thing called a catapult during this half year... This thing can throw fireworks a long distance!"

"Catapult? What is this?"

"Returning to the Emperor, it is said that Li Chen'an invented it. It is a giant weapon that can be thrown from a long distance."

"Li Chen'an? Throwing from a long distance... So, the casualties of the Red Flame Army were very small?"

"Back to the emperor, the Chiyan Army was almost uninjured. After the loss of Wuya Pass, General Gou also led the [-] cavalry from Qichengzhai to take back Wuya Pass, but..."

Emperor Wu's face darkened, "Just what?"

"It's just that General Gou was defeated again!"

"The Red Flame Army is so powerful?"

"Back to the emperor, it's not the Red Flame Army that's powerful, it's the fireworks and catapults that are powerful!"

Emperor Wu had never seen fireworks, nor had he seen a catapult, but he had already heard about the power of fireworks.

But I heard that it was a rumor, and now this thing has revealed such a powerful power, which made Emperor Wu have to re-examine how to deal with Ningguo's fireworks.

At this moment, he didn't think about this question. What he thought of was:

"...Xiayuanzhou..."

Emperor Wu was startled. Since Gou Kuo was defeated again, if the Chiyan Army marched southward, there would be no soldiers to defend Daxia Yuanzhou!

The Ning army will drive straight into Zhaohua City!

His voice suddenly increased by three points, and the speed of speech also increased by three points: "The soldiers in Qichengzhai have also been defeated? Did the Red Flame Army occupy Xiayuan Prefecture? What happened to Zhaohua City?"

Zhang Jingchu swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "Back to the emperor, the Red Flame Army has not entered Xiayuan Prefecture, they are still guarding Wuya Pass."

"Oh……"

Emperor Wu breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that the purpose of the Red Flame Army is to take back Wuyaguan, and it does not have the ability to invade Xiayuanzhou again.

This is Ningguo's weak national strength!

Presumably, Wen Zhuyu didn't really want Ning Guo to anger Wu Guo.

"Where is Gou Kuo now?"

"Go back to the emperor, General Gou is stationed in Zhaohua City!"

Emperor Wu pondered for three breaths, and looked at Old Duke Xia. He was about to speak, but suddenly there was another shout from outside:
"Eunuch Zhang, this slave wants to see Eunuch Zhang...Xiayuanzhou Shiwanjiuhan...!" (End of this chapter)
