Stunning weapon

In the palace, Mo Xiaochuan lived an uneasy life in the peaceful days.His thoughts, today, are very messy.There was no news from Liu Chengqi's side either. Butler Wang's sudden appearance was as sudden as his sudden disappearance.

Under such circumstances, Mo Xiaochuan did not order Qi Xintang to search.

Just as Steward Wang said, even if he followed him, he would just risk his life.Qi Xintang, except for Mo Xiaochuan himself, no one is an opponent of Steward Wang.Even himself, Mo Xiaochuan has no certainty of winning.

Unless he mobilized Qishan's people, but Qishan's people obviously couldn't be mobilized now.In a trance, Mo Xiaochuan suddenly thought of a person, maybe he could.This person is Bai Changqing who taught Situ Xiong Kung Fu in the prison.

On that day, Mo Xiaochuan felt the strangeness of Bai Changqing's high martial arts.This person should have already entered the way of heaven, but the way he entered is different from others, which should be related to his vision.

However, Bai Changqing is like a lunatic.When he saw him in a hurry that time, Mo Xiaochuan felt that this person seemed to be sick. If he was released, it would be more a disaster than a benefit.

Therefore, Mo Xiaochuan just thought about it and didn't plan to take action.

Although, before Bai Yifeng died, he had promised Bai Yifeng that he would rescue Bai Changqing at the right time, but at this moment, Mo Xiaochuan didn't think it was the right time.

Just when Mo Xiaochuan was in the palace, bored, Qi Xintang suddenly sent a message. This time, the sender was not Gu Ming, but a green hat.Mo Xiaochuan and the green hat naturally didn't need to be polite, they called the green hat into the house and asked about the situation.

It turned out that the barbarian army began to violate the border again.

Hearing this news, Mo Xiaochuan's face suddenly showed a sense of relief.The green hat saw it, a little strange, but didn't ask any questions.Seeing the green hat's expression, Mo Xiaochuan smiled slightly and said, "Do you want to ask why I feel relaxed at this moment?"

The green hat pursed her lips into a smile, nodded slightly, and said, "You really can't hide anything from your lord."

Mo Xiaochuan squeezed her little hand, and said: "Some things, it's better not to tell you in detail. Happiness can be shared, but troubles should be kept to yourself. You just need to know that going to the capital is actually no better than going to the border. At the border, even if there are enemies, you can still see them. You can send out scouts to find out where they have gone, and how big a threat they are to you. In Shangjing, some enemies are hard for you to guard against, and even you I don't know where the enemy is or who it might be."

The green hat showed doubts on its face, and asked softly: "What does the lord mean, someone in the court wants to murder you?"

Mo Xiaochuan sighed and said, "It's hard to say now. Where did you get this news from?"

"There are people from the barbarian country in our hall." The green hat replied.

"In this way, the battle report will be delivered soon." Mo Xiaochuan took the cuckold's hand and said, "Don't leave today. By the way, how are you learning from Qi Heng?"

"It's really hard to talk about my little effort. The master taught me everything. It's just that my progress is very slow." The green hat shook his head and said.

Mo Xiaochuan smiled, and said: "Don't underestimate yourself. Martial arts training is a steady and steady way. What Qi Heng practiced is the authentic way of controlling energy and concentrating the mind. Naturally, the progress will not be too fast, but it will let you The foundation of my martial arts is solid. My martial arts are too dangerous, and I almost survived several times, otherwise, I can pass it on to you."

The green hat leaned on Mo Xiaochuan's arm, and said: "Now, no more than before, I don't need to do it myself. Martial arts practice is also a little slack. I also understand the principle of being greedy. Besides, my qualifications are limited. Mine is enough for my whole life."

Mo Xiaochuan nodded slightly, and said with a smile, "I'm relieved if you think so."

The two of them walked out of the house while talking.Looking at the endless houses in the Wangfu, Mo Xiaochuan shook his head and said, "By the way, I have never seen the whole Wangfu completely. Today, I am idle anyway. How about we go for a walk?"

"En!" The green hat nodded obediently.

The two walked side by side, walking slowly in the palace. Wherever they passed, the servants saluted respectfully. The green hat followed Mo Xiaochuan, and they couldn't help but feel a little bit of honor in their hearts.

What Mo Xiaochuan didn't expect was that they wandered around for more than half a day.

When he came back, Lin Feng was waiting anxiously.Seeing Mo Xiaochuan, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and said: "My lord, it's not good. The barbarian army came again. An hour ago, General Kou sent someone to send the battle report. Please tell me what to do."

Mo Xiaochuan shook his head and said: "This Ichiro, he made such a fuss over such a trivial matter. I can decide what to do. It depends on the order of the court. You send someone to write back to him and let him Stay on high alert and wait for the imperial edict."

"Yes!" Lin Feng agreed and left in a hurry.

Not long after Lin Feng left, several eunuchs came in a hurry and invited Mo Xiaochuan into the palace to discuss matters.

After Mo Xiaochuan got the news from the green hat, he knew that it would not be long before someone would come from the palace, but he didn't expect that it was so fast, when he saw the person coming from the palace, Mo Xiaochuan didn't say much, so he followed towards the palace. .

Whether it was his own thoughts, his determination to leave Shangjing, or the situation he was facing, he had to pay attention to it.As the commander-in-chief of a large army at the border, he had to show a gesture in this matter.

When he came to the palace gate quickly, he saw several ministers walking out of the palace gate. After seeing Mo Xiaochuan, he went forward to salute, exchanged a few words of greeting, and said, "My lord, please enter the palace quickly, the emperor is already here." waited."

Mo Xiaochuan nodded, said nothing more, and walked quickly to the imperial study.Kou Gu was also sitting there, and after bowing to Mo Zhiyuan, Mo Zhiyuan gently raised his hand to signal him to sit down.

Nodding slightly to Kou Gu and saying hello, Mo Xiaochuan sat directly opposite him.

Mo Zhiyuan raised his eyelids, glanced at Mo Xiaochuan, and said, "Border battle report, come to think of it, you should know it too?"

Mo Xiaochuan stood up and said, "Ichiro sent me the battle report earlier."

"Then what do you think about this matter?" Mo Zhiyuan asked slowly.

Mo Xiaochuan thought for a while, and said: "Now, it's hard to say. Last time, the barbarian army came here just to fight for the Khan position, and Harichagai wanted to establish prestige. But this time, what is it for? We don't have any information yet. I know. Therefore, it is not easy to draw a conclusion."

Mo Zhiyuan nodded lightly, and said, "Although that's the case, don't you have any ideas?"

"I do have ideas, but I don't know if they can be put into practical use. The hinterland of the grasslands of the barbarian country is of little use to us. Even if we attack, it will not be easy to defend at that time. If we want to defend, we must Building a city, in this way, will inevitably consume national strength, and also face endless harassment from the barbarian kingdom, the gain outweighs the loss. Therefore, I thought, if we can negotiate a peace, let the barbarian country partly split, and then let them restrain each other, for us For me, it should be the best. However, if I want to do this, I am afraid it will not be too easy. First of all, I have to figure out that this time, the purpose of the barbarian army coming here is to prescribe the right medicine."

After hearing what Mo Xiaochuan said, Mo Zhiyuan turned his head to Kou Gu.Kou Gu stroked his beard slightly, and said: "My lord's opinion, I think it is very reasonable. However, as the lord said, this is still an idea, whether it can be implemented or not is unknown. Therefore, the first priority at the moment is to first Guard the barbarian army, and then spy on their internal contradictions, if you can start from the barbarian inside, it will be the best."

Mo Zhiyuan showed a pensive look on his face, and after a while, he nodded slightly, and said: "Kou Aiqing's words are reasonable." After finishing speaking, Mo Zhiyuan turned his head, looked at Mo Xiaochuan, and said softly: " Ogawa!"

"The minister is here!" Mo Xiaochuan hurriedly saluted.

Mo Zhiyuan said with a serious face: "I order you to leave immediately, rush back to the border, and guard the barbarian army. If it is true, as you think, split it from the barbarian army, and solve my border defense once and for all. I will surely reward you for your troubles."

"Yes!" Mo Xiaochuan nodded emphatically.

However, after agreeing, he showed a smiling face and said, "Your Majesty, I have another merciless request."

Mo Zhiyuan couldn't help frowning, and said: "Why, you have so many things to do every time. Tell me what you want."

Mo Xiaochuan chuckled, and said: "Your Majesty, can I just let the minister go alone this time, if Commander Hua also goes, I am afraid that Commander Hua still has resentment towards the minister, and the two cannot cooperate sincerely, and will be taken advantage of by the barbarians instead." and enter."

"Beautiful thinking!" Mo Zhiyuan snorted softly, and said: "With Citi rushing, you have repeatedly created disasters. If you are left there alone, wouldn't even the sky be turned over?"

Mo Xiaochuan coughed lightly in embarrassment, and said: "This time, I will definitely restrain myself. I don't want the command of the front-line battalion. Commander Hua is fine. Then, can the emperor issue an imperial decree to stop the front-line battalion from moving?" How about leaving everything to the minister?"

"This heart, you are still dead. Impossible, besides, now is not the time for you to negotiate conditions. If the military situation is delayed and the national law is enforced, then don't blame me for not thinking about family affection." Mo Zhiyuan sank Face.

Mo Xiaochuan's face showed a bit of aggrieved expression, he could only salute helplessly, and said: "Okay, the minister leads the order!"

"Go. Pack your things now and leave as soon as possible." Mo Zhiyuan waved his hand and said.

"Yes!" Mo Xiaochuan agreed again, shook his head slightly, and walked out the door with a disappointed face.

Just as he walked to the door, Mo Zhiyuan said again: "It is impossible to prevent Citi from rushing back. However, Commander Hua is currently injured and needs to rest. During this time, you must not make any mistakes. ,did you know?"

Mo Xiaochuan stopped abruptly, turned his head, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty is wise, thank you uncle. That nephew is gone..." After finishing speaking, as if he was afraid that Mo Zhiyuan would change his mind, he hurried out.

Watching Mo Xiaochuan leave, Mo Zhiyuan shook his head slightly, and said, "You are still so childish, how can I hand over hundreds of thousands of troops to him?"

Kou Gu had a smile on his face, and said: "Your Majesty, you don't need to worry too much about this point. Your Highness has a natural ability in military affairs. Moreover, with the guidance of the old Marquis, it is enough to watch him lead troops before. It can be proved that he has no problem in this aspect. As for the childish nature, it is no wonder. After all, he is just a weaker year, and he is favored by the queen mother, so he will inevitably show some points in front of the emperor. "

Mo Zhiyuan nodded slightly, and said: "I hope so. However, this time, Hua Qichong is a bit too outrageous. Let him stay and reflect on it. If you have a chance, talk to him... "

"Yes!" Kou Gu nodded and said, "I have made a note."

"Okay. That's all for today's matter. There is another war at the border. Your military department has a heavy responsibility and you need to work hard. You also go back to rest." Mo Zhiyuan's voice slowed down, talking to Kou Gu as if Two friends are having a conversation.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. However, I can handle it. However, recently, there are many envoys in Tubo. How should these envoys be dealt with, please tell the Emperor clearly." Kou Gu said.

Mo Zhiyuan thought for a while, and said: "You don't need to take care of the envoy's affairs, just leave it to the Ministry of Rites. Then, isn't Gu Lianqing closer to Xiao Chuan? Let him handle this matter. What could go wrong."

"Sir, I understand." Kou Gu smiled, then bowed and left.
