Beigong's one-million-strong army was blocked by Xuanyuan's 300,000-strong army in a line of gorges. The two sides had been facing off for nearly ten days. Xuanyuan's army's food and grass reserves were bottoming out day by day, and the fall of the Xiaguan Pass was a foregone conclusion.

Xuanyuan's three generals gathered in the military camp to discuss countermeasures. Half an hour later, the three generals reached a consensus, and General Xu wrote the letter, put it in a bamboo tube and rushed to the capital.

Three days later, the letter arrived at the palace. The sixth princess took the bamboo tube in front of everyone, slowly unfolded it, and read line by line, her hands trembling slightly.

Seeing her expression change, Wan Yun silently stepped forward to take the letter, lowered his head and read it again, his eyes gradually darkening.

"Yan'er, what happened?" Uncle Master scratched his cheek and became nervous when he saw something was wrong in the atmosphere. He turned to look at the Sixth Princess and then at Wan Yun, "None of you said anything! What happened?

What happened?"

"I'm afraid that we can't defend the Yixian Gorge." Yunhequn didn't stand up, but just nodded lightly: "After passing the Yixian Gorge, there is the last natural danger - Luoxia Mountain. If they can even reach Luoxia Mountain,

If we cross it, then Xuanyuan will really be doomed this time..."

"Won't!"

There was a hint of blood on the lips that the Sixth Princess was biting. She suddenly stood up and clasped her fists, her hairpins and emeralds on her temples colliding with each other.

Assist Yan'er to fight against the Northern Hungarians!"

"What do you want to do?" Uncle Master pulled up his sleeves, "Do you need us to go to the front line, capture the leader of the army, Emperor Beigong, and cut him into pieces?"

"No." Yun Hequn objected immediately, "No matter how high your martial arts skills are, there is always a risk in going it alone. Luoxia Mountain is the highest peak in Xuanyuan. In my opinion, we only need to send a little more troops to take advantage of this natural

This barrier can resist the Northern Hungarians."

"Hey! Are you scared, you coward?"

The uncle's eyes rolled back and forth as he looked at Yun Hequn: "No way? A majestic Jiu Xuan Sect Master is so afraid of death? More than ten years ago, Yan'er fought for Yingluo, the soft-headed emperor. A woman can single-handedly earn hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The army is capturing the alliance king! Now that I want you, a grown man, to go out on an expedition for your junior sister and your most proud disciple, why don’t you just grab the leader?"

"The Han people are no better than the Northern Huns. If their leader is captured, most of the Han people will fall and scatter, but the Northern Huns will fight to the death. Therefore, sending troops to guard Luoxia Mountain is definitely more direct and effective than capturing the king. Besides..." Yunhe turned around

Buddha beads paused his fingers and kindly reminded: "It seems that you are from Beigong? Although I know that you understand that justice will not be bound by country, but you, a Beigong person, kill the emperor of your country, which always violates the virtues of loyalty, filial piety and righteousness.

, isn’t it?”

"I'm from Beigong?"

The uncle took a deep breath and pointed at the tip of his nose with wide eyes: "I am from Beigong!?" He looked around with a shocked expression. After thinking hard, he lowered his head and pinched the corner of his clothes: "Yes,

I almost forgot that I am from Beigong..."

Imperial Master Bai Yuan, who entered the palace with a hunched back and a trembling back, almost slipped and slipped when he heard this.

"The Imperial Master is here!"

When the Sixth Princess saw Bai Yuan, her eyes immediately lit up, and she turned around and told her nanny: "Hurry up and give me a seat!"

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

As soon as Bai Yuan sat down, he held his beard and spoke: "I just heard the analysis of Master Yun just outside the palace. I thought it was very reasonable. Now that time is running out and the emperor is unconscious, only the Queen Mother can take charge of the overall situation!

If you want to resist the Northern Hungarians from moving south, you must send 100,000 troops to Luoxia Mountain before they break through the First Line Gorge!"

"I'm afraid it's too late."

Wan Yun suddenly answered. She stood up and presented the letter in her hand to Bai Yuan: "The letter sent back by the general said that they can only last for six more days at most. The date of signing was three days ago. It's exactly six days since they came and went.

God, that means that unless we send troops to Luoxia Mountain immediately, it will be too late."

"Oh, really?"

Bai Yuan opened the letter, and his eyebrows grew higher as he read it. After reading it all, he could only shake his head and sigh, "General Xu used a lot of strong words in the letter. It seems that they are having a hard time guarding the border... The Queen Mother

Madam, please give the order quickly, otherwise it will be too late!"

Uncle Master looked around and met the eyes of the Sixth Princess: "Sister Yan, why are you still standing there in a daze? Give the order quickly!"

"But..." The Sixth Princess seemed to have something unspeakable. She raised her head hesitantly, first looked at the group of clouds and cranes, and then turned to Bai Yuan, "but..."

Yun Hequn frowned for a moment, then leaned forward and asked: "Yan'er, don't you want to say that the three hundred thousand army is already Xuanyuan's entire strength?"

"This is impossible."

Bai Yuan waved his hand without thinking, "Although Xuanyuan's national strength has declined in recent years, we still have an army of one million. Even if we were seriously injured in the battle with Yingluo Kingdom at the beginning of the year, we won't be left with even half a million?"

"Yan'er, are you there or not?"

Uncle Master has an uncontrollable temper. He was extremely anxious after hearing what the two of them said. Seeing the Sixth Princess's face turned pale, he bit his lips tightly and refused to speak. Not to mention how uncomfortable it made him, "Hey! Yan'er, you are

Speak quickly! If it’s there, it’s there, and if it’s not, it’s not there. If you don’t answer, how can we help you?”

Wan Yun looked at the sixth princess with a gloomy face, took a deep breath, and already guessed the answer in his heart.

The sixth princess closed her eyes and shook her head in despair, "No more."

When her father was on the throne, there were still more than 500,000 troops left. After Ling'er came to the throne, she made some changes. She didn't ask much about the details. It wasn't until Beigong invaded and she personally ordered the troops that she realized that there were 20 fewer troops.

Here comes the army of ten thousand! She checked the records repeatedly, but no matter how she searched, she could never find the relevant records - more than two hundred thousand people. It happened to be the time to employ people, so they were gone! Ling'er could take them

Where to hide?!

She wanted to ask, but Ling'er didn't wake up. The civil servants in charge of recording didn't know. The powerful military ministers were almost killed by Yuwen Tuo. The national master had just returned from traveling around the country and didn't know anything... Who could she ask?

"Sister Yan! Why are you talking about such an important thing now!?"

Uncle Master looked at the Sixth Princess with trembling hands. Seeing that her eyes were red and unable to continue training, he sighed and ran around the main hall with his hands behind his back. He could not calm down for a moment and kept mumbling, "What should we do? How difficult is it?"

Do you want to watch Ling'er's throne being snatched away? No, absolutely not..."

"Can I borrow troops?"

Yun Hequn looked at the Sixth Princess meaningfully: "Junior sister, Luoxia Mountain is located on the northeastern border. It only takes half a day to mobilize troops from the border of Yingluo Kingdom. You can ask Emperor Mo for help. He will not stand idly by."

"That's right." Uncle Master's eyes lit up, he rubbed his hands and ran forward with a grin: "Hequn! Your uncle is so smart! The little queen is still in our hands, does he dare to send troops?"

"it's useless……"

Covering her face, the Sixth Princess slowly lowered her head, with a hint of bitterness in the corner of her mouth, "It was me... who abandoned Ran'er first. He doesn't recognize me at all now, let alone Xuanyuan, otherwise he wouldn't have sent troops at the beginning of the year.

A large-scale invasion...Besides, I can't use Han'er, mother and son to threaten him, so how can I use Han'er, mother and son to threaten him? They are all my own flesh and blood, how can I do this to my Ran'er!?"

Thinking of the indifferent look in Ran'er's eyes when she looked at her, the composure and indifference that the Sixth Princess had tried to maintain in the past few days had completely collapsed! She covered her face and cried, her heart had never been so deep as at this moment.

pain!

A country cannot be a country, and a family cannot be a family... In the final analysis, she is the only one who caused all this.

Her father's lifelong dominance and his two most beloved sons, Ling'er and Ran'er, she had nothing to hold on to, nothing...

The sixth princess cried loudly, as if she wanted to shed all the tears that had been held in her heart for more than ten days. Uncle Shi and Bai Yuan looked at each other, touched their noses and could only sigh - women, no matter how strong they are,

Once his son is involved, he will naturally lose his wisdom...

As they sighed, a hand patted the sixth princess's shoulder.

who?

The sixth princess raised her face from her hands with red eyes and tremblingly. She blinked, and what was reflected in her hazy tearful eyes was Wan Yun's face.

Wan Yun said nothing, but carefully wiped away the tears of the Sixth Princess with a handkerchief. After her emotions gradually calmed down, Wan Yun turned to look at Manager Hu who was leaning over and waiting for orders: "Can you please get the letter paper and...

Here comes the pen."

"Girl, what do you want to do?"

The uncle couldn't guess Wan Yun's intention. When he saw her taking the pen and paper and writing something solemnly in the corner, he curiously leaned his head forward to take a look.

"Immediately mobilize...a hundred thousand troops...to...Luoxia Mountain...to fight against the Northern Hungarians...?"

Uncle Master continued to read intermittently. Princess Duanliu's eyebrows trembled and she turned her eyes to look at Wan Yun who was writing in surprise. Bai Yuan also stood up in surprise. Yun Hequn's hands holding the beads shook and his eyes dimmed.

"Wow!"

As soon as Wan Yun put down his pen, the uncle immediately opened his mouth and held his heart in his hands, his eyes shining with admiration for her: "Girl, you are so domineering! Call an army of 100,000 people, immediately, look at how awesome this tone is! But...

..." The corner of his mouth twitched slightly: "Who are you writing this to?"

This tone is like borrowing carrots and cabbages. After all, they are still an army of 100,000 people. Who can she borrow from?

Wan Yun didn't answer, he just folded the letter paper and stuffed it into the envelope, then hurriedly wrote a few words on the envelope and handed it to Manager Hu, "Thank you."

Manager Hu took the envelope with both hands, looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but frown in confusion. He raised his head and was about to ask, when he met Wan Yun's doubtful eyes. The calm wisdom in his dark eyes was surprisingly similar to His Majesty!

He was startled, nodded, and stepped back quickly.

At dusk, the handsome young man was leaning against his mouth alone in a daze. The last ray of light in the sky illuminated his delicate profile. The letter in his hand was like a crumbling leaf, rustling in the evening breeze.

"Creak-" there was a sound, and the door was suddenly opened.

Shen Tianhao walked into the room with his hands behind his hands. When he saw "him" who looked frightened beside him, he couldn't help but feel funny: "Aji, what are you thinking about? Are you so lost in thought?"

Lu Jichen shook his head, folded the letter and put it in his sleeve, smiling lightly: "It's nothing."

"real?"

Shen Tianhao didn't believe it and looked at "him" with his arms crossed: "You may be able to deceive others, but it's not that easy to deceive me!"

Lu Jichen was shocked. "He" turned his eyes and looked deeply at Shen Tianhao on the other side. He didn't turn around hastily until he saw that he was about to notice something.

"Aji, what's wrong with you?"
