On the other side, Baling Pass, less than two hundred miles away, is within the general's residence.
Looking at the letter written by Emperor Qian presented by the servants below, the eldest princess Xia Qingwu frowned and then threw it directly into the brazier.
"Hmph! You don't want me to take action, do you?"
She said coldly.
Not long after, Pei Tianlin also walked in.
Seeing Xia Qingwu's unhappy expression, he seemed to have guessed something.
"General Xia, it seems that Emperor Qian did not act according to your plan?"
"Yes, you are right, she refused."
Xia Qingwu didn't hide it, and sneered: "She asked me to continue guarding here. If the danger in Shiye City continues to expand, let me send troops to suppress it!"
"On the surface, this is to allow me to continue to consolidate peace on the border. In fact, it just doesn't want me to interfere!"
"General Xia means that Emperor Qian has figured out your thoughts?"
Pei Tianlin said a little surprised.
If this is the case, then Emperor Qian is more intelligent than he imagined!
It can be said that I don’t know how much higher he is than Emperor Wu!
Hearing this, Xia Qingwu shook her head.
"It's unlikely. Everything I did was reasonable."
"Furthermore, judging from the news from the palace, the ministers also suggested that I send troops to suppress Shiye City, so there is no way your Majesty would suspect that I would rebel! It won't be so sudden!"
In this regard, Xia Qingwu is quite confident!
She thinks she is very ambitious, but she hides it very well!
At least for now, Emperor Qian will never notice it!
"In that case, is there no one in charge of Shiye City?"
Pei Tianlin was a little confused.
Xia Qingwu's smile became even colder.
"On the contrary, the people who went to Shiye Town to suppress the rebellion this time are people we all know!"
This has been made very clear!
Pei Tianlin almost didn't think much and reacted immediately!
"Lin Yiqiu!"
He almost gritted his teeth and spat out word for word!
Xia Qingwu nodded and said, "Although it sounds incredible, Your Majesty, he did do that."
"Having a eunuch lead the troops to suppress the rebellion is unique in the history of our country! Haha, it's quite interesting!"
"This Lin Yiqiu's method is indeed not simple! He can escape from my pursuit! And he can also make His Majesty trust him so much! It is something that only an extraordinary person can do!"
Although she hasn't really met Lin Yiqiu yet, Xia Qingwu already regards him as the most difficult opponent!
Pei Tianlin is even more so!
"General Xia, I have already told you that this dead eunuch is not so easy to deal with!"
"If we can't be careful, we will suffer a big loss in his hands sooner or later!"
He reminded kindly.
After all, with lessons learned from the past, Lin Yiqiu's martial arts skills, including his intelligence, are all top-notch!
Although Xia Qingwu values Lin Yiqiu, she doesn't think that he will really hinder his ambitions!
She now has an army in hand, and the situation is developing in the direction she expected! Everything is under control!
After a while, a soldier was seen walking into the house.
"Report General! Marshal Zhao of Northern Qi has arrived!"
"Humph! Finally here! Where are you now?"
Xia Qingwu asked with a sneer.
The soldier lowered his head and continued to respond.
"We have already entered the customs. We still have about three sticks of incense before we can get here. General, do you want to invite him in?"
"Please, of course please!"
Xia Qingwu smiled even more wantonly!
In her plan, Northern Qi Marshal Zhao Yuanhui is an indispensable and important part!
After about half a while, we arrived at the entrance of Balingguan.
A burly man wearing silver armor entered the pass accompanied by a group of guards.
After a while, soldiers were seen greeting him and taking him to Xia Qingwu's mansion.
Xia Qingwu in the mansion glanced at Pei Tianlin.
The latter naturally understood, and immediately held up his hands and said: "Then I won't bother you anymore, and I'll leave first!"
After saying that, Pei Tianlin had left.
Not long after he left, Zhao Yuanhui had already entered the mansion!
Seeing him coming in, Xia Qingwu immediately changed her expression and said politely: "General Zhao! I finally got you here!"
She left in person to greet you!
Zhao Yuanhui also showed a respectful attitude and said with a smile: "General Xia, you are well. The last time we fought was three years ago!"
"General Zhao, those are things in the past, there is no need to mention them again. We invite General Zhao here this time to discuss important matters!"
Xia Qingwu pretended to be serious, then waved her hand.
The other soldiers around him naturally understood the meaning, immediately closed the door and all retreated.
At this time, Xia Qingwu poured the tea and handed it to Zhao Yuanhui.
"General Zhao, I think you should also understand what I am referring to. I have already told you in the secret message before!"
Zhao Yuanhui frowned slightly after taking a sip of tea.
To be honest, he still can't believe that the secret letter was written by Xia Qingwu himself.
After waiting for a long time, he said in a deep voice: "General Xia, do you really want to make a big plan?"
Raising a grand plan is a euphemism, which literally translates to rebellion!
Xia Qingwu nodded.
"The time is right now, and our big plan will definitely succeed! The unrest I planned in Shiye City is the first step!"
"You have talked about this in your mind, but you have not elaborated on it. General Xia, planning a big plan is not just a game. Have you really planned it?"
Zhao Yuanhui asked again.
Xia Qingwu smiled and said: "Of course, if General Zhao doesn't believe it, I can give you a rough explanation now!"
"Of course, this matter still needs General Zhao's help! After the matter is completed, I will not treat you badly, the Emperor of Northern Qi! I will keep my promise!"
"Then please give General Xia a good explanation. I'm all ears!"
Zhao Yuanhui hurried forward and pricked up his ears.
Xia Qingwu also approached him and took a sip of tea first before saying: "To be specific, I want to find a reason to send troops!"
"Looking for a reason to send troops?"
Zhao Yuanhui was stunned!
"Yes! The riots in Shiye City were for this purpose!"
Xia Qingwu's mouth showed a sly smile.
"I caused a riot in Shiye City so that the emperor would send me to suppress it, so that I could have a legitimate reason to lead the army into the hinterland!"
"Once the army enters, there will be no gateway to the capital and it will be easily accessible!"
"When will General Xia prepare to leave?"
Zhao Yuanhui asked Dao.
After Xia Qingwu listened, she shook her head.
"Unfortunately, Your Majesty does not allow me to act without authorization, so if I resist the decree, I may expose my intention too early!"
"What should we do? Isn't this a waste of time?"
Zhao Yuanhui was really puzzled.
He thought Xia Qingwu was ready to leave for Shiye City!
But at this time, Xia Qingwu's eyes became even more intense, and she stared at Zhao Yuanhui!
"Next, I will naturally need the help of you, the generalissimo!"
"I?"
Zhao Yuanhui was confused.
Xia Qingwu's smile turned cold!
"If a foreign enemy invades Shiye City! Do you think I can send troops?" This chapter has been completed!
