Chapter 721 Chaos in Wu

Very few people know what happened on the night of Emperor Ningguo’s 60th birthday.

But three days later, the officials in the court who failed to participate in the birthday party felt a different atmosphere.

The emperor has not presided over the court meeting in the past three years, but in the past three days, the emperor personally presided over the court meeting every day.

The content of the court meeting also became meaningful.

It has nothing to do with the rumored reduction of the vassal state. Instead, the emperor ordered the Ministry of Revenue to mobilize a large amount of food and grass from Xilan City, Hexi Prefecture, on the grounds that there may be heavy snow in Hexi Prefecture this year!

When did the Imperial Heaven Prison become so powerful?

It can actually be calculated that there will be heavy snow in Hexi Prefecture this year!

In addition, a well-informed minister got a news-

Gou Zhong left Kyoto on the third day after the Emperor's birthday and left in a hurry.

There is another big thing.

The emperor seemed to have forgotten the long-rumored Crown Princess, and he did not issue an order!

The Prince of the Crown Prince, who was extremely busy in the past, seemed to have been idle and had never appeared in the court in the past three days.

What exactly happened?

In a blink of an eye, it was the end of the year, that is, the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month of the 39th year of Jianxing. The Chinese New Year is coming, and the court should take a break tomorrow.

But the emperor held another court meeting.

At this court meeting, the emperor appointed Xia Li as the general of Zhenbei.

Starting from now on, the Zhenbei Army will be formed!

Is this the Duke of Xia’s Mansion being valued by the emperor again?

On the sixth day of the first lunar month of the 40th year of Jianxing, two months passed in a blink of an eye.

The news of Wuyaguan cannot be hidden in the end, and it has been introduced to Kyoto with those merchants.

Dongxu City fell into incredible panic for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, another news came, Gou Zhong led a 100,000 Divine Army to raid Hexi Prefecture for thousands of miles, because the Divine Guards of Ning Kingdom had actually entered the hinterland of Wu!

Could this Ningguo be crazy?

By the way, Li Chenan, who is almost forgotten by the Wu people, is the regent of Ningguo. He can't get out of the Forgetful Platform in the Sword Cleaning Tower...

Could it be that Ningren wants to rescue their Regent?

This must be the case!

Otherwise, this Ning army would not have any supplies or any support from the rear. It would obviously have made a determination to die if it was ready.

However, it may not reach Jianshan at all!

On the 20th day of the first lunar month of the 40th year of Jianxing, it was already ten days since the rest.

The officials in the court were walking on thin ice, and news from the Jishu Room also came from the Divine Eagle Army and the Ning Army-

The Condor Heroes Army and the Divine Guards fought their first battle outside Xilan City, Hexi Prefecture.

But the Divine Guards did not love to fight!

Yuan Su, the commander of the Divine Guard Army, sent 10,000 soldiers to the palace. He took 40,000 soldiers to leave the battlefield without hesitation and entered the Xilan Mountains more than 30 miles east of Xilan City!

Gou Zhong destroyed the ten thousand Divine Guards, but paid a price of 20,000 people!

This is a result that is unacceptable to the Wu people.

Because the Condor Heroes Army is the most powerful army in Wu!

He fought alone with a few hundred thousand and fought for ten thousand, and he should have won a complete victory as if he had been defeated, but he suffered double the losses!

This forced many ministers in the court, including Emperor Wu, to re-examine the lonely army.

Gou Zhong led the remaining 80,000 Condor Army to chase into the Xilan Mountains, but the Xilan Mountains stretched for more than a hundred miles, and there was no war report coming back for the time being.

On the second day of the 2nd month of the 40th year of Jianxing.

The dragon raises its head.

On this day, Xia Li, the general of Zhenbei, set off for Xiayuanzhou with the newly recruited 50,000 new soldiers from the Ministry of War, because the Ning army did not leave anyone to station in Zhaohua City!

The Red Flame Army still guarded Wuya Pass. Of course, Wuya Pass has been restored, but the Red Flame Army did not enter Xiayuanzhou to replace the Divine Guards to guard Zhaohua City.

This is something that everyone is incomprehensible.

On this day, news from the Divine Guards came again-

The Divine Guards divided into three groups in Xilan Mountain, and they actually headed to Xihuozhou, the garrison of the Divine Eagle Army!

I actually traveled through the Xilan Mountains and came to Kyoto Dongxu City!

The other road is quite strange, they are heading southeast... Where are they going?

"Sword Mountain!"

Emperor Wu looked at the huge map hanging in the imperial study room and his fingers fell on the mountains of Jianshan.

"The Divine Guards have been here all the way and will never fight. They have not been able to guide any city except for seeking supplies and seeking supplies to sweep away the villages and towns they pass by!"

Emperor Wu's fingers slashed hard on the mountain in the Jianxi Tower, and turned his head to look at Mo Wangchen.

"Their purpose is actually only one, which is to wash the sword tower!"

"The other two routes of men were just to disperse Gou Zhong's troops. Their march route accurately avoided the range of border troops guarding everywhere..."

Emperor Wu turned around and walked to the tea table, with a look of confusion on his face:

"Could they really want to flatten Jianshan with this Wanlai person?"

"Do they bring the magical object of fireworks?"

Mo Wangchen shook his head firmly: "Back to the emperor, they definitely don't have one!"

"Just with this kind of knife?"

Emperor Wu picked up the sword of the Divine Guard leaning against the wall again, "I underestimated Ningguo. This knife is extremely sharp and extremely tough. No wonder Gou Zhong suffered a great loss."

"Ji Shufang must closely monitor the movements of this Ning army, and... also send some people to Jianshan to take a closer look!"

Mo Wangchen bowed and bowed: "Old minister, obey the order!"

"Well, go!"

Mo Wangchen bowed and retreated, and Emperor Wu narrowed his eyes as he looked at Mo Wangchen's back.

After a moment, he turned around and looked at the map, and said to Zhang Jingzhong behind him: "Three things!"

Zhang Jingzhong bowed: "Please give me instructions!"

"First, there have been interactions between Cha Lao Si and Mo Wangchen over the years!"

"Second, check where Xi Wei is, who he has had contact with, and whether he has been to the Garden!"

"Third... Please ask Chu Tianji to go to Xingyun Pavilion tonight, I have something to say to him!"

"Old slave obeys the order!"

Emperor Wu slowly turned around and looked at Zhang Jingzhong, "You said... Xi Wei ran away from Wu, and the Divine Guards also came... Is Li Chen'an so important to Ningguo?"

Zhang Jingzhong pondered for three breaths: "Your Majesty, I think there is something else in it."

"Tell me!"

"If Li Chen'an is really so important to Ningguo, I will definitely not let Li Chen'an go to the Forgetful Platform if he is thinking about Xi Wei or Zhongli Mansion!"

"Although Zhongli Ruoshui is the third lady of Zhongli Mansion... after all, she is just a woman. Giving up Zhongli Ruoshui, Li Chen'an is still the regent of Ningguo. With him in charge of Ningguo, this pair of Xi Wei is the best thing for Zhongli Mansion!"

"But Li Chenan transformed into Li Xiaofeng, took Zhongli Ruoshui to Wu State and entered the Forgetful Platform... If they didn't know at first, the old slave would never believe it."

Emperor Wu frowned, "What do you mean... they deliberately asked Li Chenan to bring Zhongli Ruoshui into the Forgetful Platform?"

"Now they are willing to let the 50,000 people from the Divine Guard die and go to the Forgetful Platform... What's the saying?"

Zhang Jingzhong bowed and replied, "There are only two things that I can think of."

"First, I'm afraid they hope that Li Chenan can really practice the Former Zhoutian Art to deal with the upcoming Shushan Sword Contest!"

"Second... Emperor, Zhongli's mansion once had a female sword with a Former Sword!"

"With this sword, someone can enter the Forgetful Platform at any time!"

"Ji Shufang said that the female sword was lost... This means that Li Chen'an is in danger of life at any time inside. Now they are trying their best to go to Jianshan. Could it be to prevent someone from going inside and killing Li Chen'an?"

Emperor Wu suddenly realized, "It's reasonable!"

"Who took the Buer Sword from Zhongli Mansion?"

"But... if Li Chenan was really killed on the Forgetful Platform, this would be a good thing!"

After a pause, Emperor Wu came to the door and looked at the sunset outside the door.
