Chapter 192 Selection

  When the lakeside of the Imperial City was quiet, the bustling Vientiane City was bustling with people, but there was no sound in a luxurious wing in the east of the city.

  Lou Ji, in a black-and-green patterned dress, crossed her arms and leaned against a pillar beside her:

  ”This is the reason why my sister is leaving. The beginning of this year will be troubled.”

  “.”

  Xu Yuan didn’t say anything immediately, and carefully looked at the latest “Grade A” internal reference that Lou Ji had just handed him.

  With his current status, it should not be enough to see this level of internal reference, but who made Lou Ji love him.

  Just now she came to him suddenly and said that she was going to pick her up and leave, and after asking a few reasons, Lou Ji directly gave him the internal reference in front of her.

  About the Northern War.

  For a while,

  As a ray of blood flames rose and the paper in his hand burned out, Xu Yuan frowned very tightly.

  While there was a lot of fighting here in the Wanxing Mountains, not even a single giant war beast appeared. There will not be too many casualties in the county.

   Today’s northern border can be regarded as the only place where the Yan Dynasty can really be called a war.

  That’s why Xu Yuan in the northern border has always been concerned about that side.

  People always like to pay attention to these things, especially when you can get real first-hand information.

  When Xu Yuan first came to Vientiane City, he asked someone to ask for similar information, regardless of whether it was the official mansion newspaper or the internal reference of Xiangguo Mansion, there were frequent good news.

   Either beheaded two thousand barbarians on a certain mountain, or besieged the main force of a certain tribe of barbarians on a certain river, or even the largest battle, that Princess Wu Yuan was defeating a large tribe The main force directly slaughtered 70,000 to 80,000 people in the opponent’s entire tribe.

  Princess Wu Yuan’s thoughts this time are easy to guess. Even if the barbarians cannot be wiped out, they will have to beat you for twenty years.

  But now the painting style has changed suddenly.

  The good news is gone, the 40,000 Yulin Army led by Wu Yuan, together with 20,000 elite soldiers from various sects and aristocratic families, were directly surrounded by barbarian kings in Dali Mountain.

  After a little silence, Xu Yuan stood up, frowning and walked a few steps in the room:

  ”The 40,000 defenders of Hejia Town, an important traffic route, were defeated, causing the main front army’s land supply and food roads to be cut off? The two second-rank powerhouses were directly intercepted and killed by the barbarians at Tianpu Cliff.”

  Xu Yuan felt a little ridiculous.

  He still has a little understanding of the war mode in this world, but he knows that there are three ways to transport materials.

  In addition to the regular land and air transportation, the strong will take a few or even a dozen Xumi rings on their way quickly.

  The prime minister’s attack on Vientiane City this time transported most of the supplies and equipment through the latter.

  This is also the reason why Xumijie is very rare. It is a strategic material in the true sense, a strategic material that can relieve the army from supply pressure.

  It is understandable that the food road on the road was cut off. There can be many reasons for the loss of the classic street pavilion, but it is a bit unreasonable that the high-level cultivator was intercepted and killed.

  Lou Ji sighed with helplessness on her lazy face:

  ”Long day, these things happened together in two days.”

  This is somewhat suggestive.

  Of course Xu Yuan could hear the hint.

  Tianxun Yuanjing’s array pattern technology is only available in the Xiangguo Mansion, and the degree of confidentiality of the information is classified as a top secret in the first class.

  In other words, even if someone sends a message to Wu Yuan at the front line immediately after the incident, there will be too little time.

  This is the time for someone to not give that Princess Wu Yuan any reaction at all.

  Thinking of this,

  Xu Yuan looked up at Lou Ji:

   “The sect made it?”

  Internal references only state what happened objectively, and do not comment on some speculative information.

  Lou Ji spread her hands:

  ”I don’t know, but there is a high probability that it is.”

  Xu Yuan felt a sense of absurdity in his heart:

   “But the 40,000 troops guarding Hejia Town and the 20,000 elite troops around Wu Yuan are all from the sect, not to mention there are two Yuanchu strong men.”

  Lou Ji walked up, leaned down and patted Xu Yuan’s shoulder lightly, her phoenix eyes were full of meaning:

   “Changtian, there are a lot of 60,000 people, but it is really not many for the sects in the whole world. The same is true for the two origins.”

  Silence.

  Then,

  Xu Yuan was a little puzzled: “Zongmen. What is this going to do?”

  Lou Ji did not answer this question directly, but just added a piece of information:

  ”The Black Scale Guards exposed several espionage operations and collected materials that Wu Yuan escorted when he went north. It was not 40,000 people, but a share of 100,000 people.”

  ”One hundred thousand people” Xu Yuan had a strange expression: “You mean she still has people in hiding?”

  Lou Ji smiled and waved her fingers, and said softly:

  ”Wu Chenghou’s six towns had 200,000 troops in the north. Because of some things a few years ago, when the old man Li Yaoxuan transferred Wu Chenghou back to Beijing, he brought four towns to defend the capital, but Wu Yuan After breaking the barbarians all the way, three of the four towns in the imperial capital have been secretly transferred, and it is estimated that they will be able to reach Beifeng City in half a decade, and I only found out about it a decade ago.”

  “.”

  Hearing this, Xu Yuan suddenly understood.

   They are not the only ones who can secretly mobilize troops in this world.

  The Yan royal family also has this strength, but it seems that the secrecy work is not as good as their operation this time.

  But the emperor secretly mobilized so many elites to go to the north

  Xu Yuan rubbed his eyebrows:

   “The emperor wants to use this opportunity to solve the barbarians in the north at once?”

   “Should be.”

  Lou Ji nodded in satisfaction, with a hint of nostalgia in her tone, as if recalling the past:

  ”Li Yaoxuan is an ambitious monarch. He knows that his life is not long, and he wants to get rid of some threats before he is alive, but the sect hopes to maintain the status quo, which is a pity.”

  “.”

  Xu Yuan sat down on the heavy desk, with a hint of sarcasm on his expression:

   “Zongmen. Does this mean that you know that your lips are dead and your teeth are cold?”

  Lou Ji shrugged her fair-skinned shoulders, as a tacit consent.

  Everything is clear.

  There are many smart people in Zongmen.

  Although the royal family and the Xiangguo Mansion are all smiling and wanting peace talks, the events of more than ten years ago are still there, and it is impossible without precautions.

  It is possible to solve the surrounding alien races, but it is not necessary, because maintaining the status quo is in the best interest of the sect.

  After all, who knows who will be next after you deal with the surrounding aliens?

  The emperor knew what Zongmen thought.

  If you can’t come clearly, then come secretly.

  The layout started a few years ago.

  The beginning of the war in the northern border was not going well, and they were defeated all the way, until the Beifeng city was besieged. Most likely, the emperor acquiesced.

  Because the emperor knew that Beifeng City could not be lost, because it was impossible for Zongmen to let the bottom line of Beifeng City be lost.

  So acquiescence.

  On the surface, the 40,000 Yulin Army led by Wu Yuan took the lead in breaking the siege of Beifeng, coerced the Zongmen to recover the lost land, and launched a retaliatory attack on the barbarians.

  In fact, the food, grass and supplies have already arrived. When the Beifeng army rushes to the northern border, it will not be revenge, but the real genocide.

  The entire barbarian tribe was slaughtered to the nines, and it would not be able to recover within a hundred years.

  Thinking to this point, Xu Yuan exhaled and said the same:

  “It’s really a pity”

  He is not an animal protection organization. Even if the barbarian race, which is like green and black skin, is slaughtered, he will not have the slightest opinion.

  If the emperor’s plan is successful, at least he doesn’t have to worry about the barbarians going south to become a boss if he takes action against the sect in the future.

  However

  Xu Yuan looked at Lou Ji with helplessness in his eyes:

   “Sister, it seems that I still overestimate the bottom line of these sects.”

  Destroy your plan directly by breaking your wrists, there is no flaw at all, and there is no righteous reason for wanting to settle accounts after the fall.

   At most, it will launch a few targets for you to chop.

  Lou Ji didn’t make any fuss about this, she said with a charming smile:

  ”Bottom line? What is that? Their existence itself is stealing the country. Besides stealing the country, is there anything strange about betraying the clan for their own benefit?”

  But at this point, she raised her hand and gave Xu Yuan a pat on the head, her eyes narrowed into two crescents, which was very dangerous:

   “But it’s a long day, this project is not over yet~”

  Xu Yuan was taken aback when he heard the words, and immediately realized:

   “Father also has a backhand?”

   “It’s not your father, it’s Zong Qingsheng. He smelled it from the previous war and went to the northern border ahead of time.”

  Lou Ji hooked her red lips, and her tone was a bit disdainful, but the eyes in her eyes were very appreciative: “I thought this big bastard would know that I was robbing your sister and me for money at the end of the year, now It seems to have some effect.”

  Xu Yuan thought for a while and recalled this person.

  It is all the memory of the previous life, and this person is almost absent in the memory of this life, because this person rarely comes to Xiangguo Mansion.

  The high probability should be to avoid suspicion. He controls the entire army of the Xiangguo Mansion, and it is easy to meet other high-level Xiangguo Mansions when he stays in the Xiangguo Mansion, especially Hua Hong who controls the Tianan Chamber of Commerce.

   Now it seems that the other party has a high political consciousness.

  However, in Cangyuan, Xu Yuan had a deep impression of this person.

  Zong Qingsheng, one of the senior executives of the Xiangguo Mansion who learned of Xu Yinhe’s life and death in Cangyuan and was buried.

  A very fierce late boss.

   “Mr. Zong brought the army there?”

  ”Otherwise?”

  Lou Ji took it for granted, with a smile: “Old man Zong can’t even beat the second rank in his military formation skills. What’s the use of him going alone? Nested in a col next to a river near Lishan, waiting for news from your father.”

   “He brought Tianxun wafer?” Xu Yuan asked.

   “Yes.”

  Lou Ji nodded, and when she talked about this, there was a trace of displeasure on her charming face, and she curled her lips: “The three Tianxun wafers currently in the experimental stage, one belongs to your father, and one At that kid Xu Changge, the last one is at the old man’s, not even me, tsk tsk.”

   Speaking, Lou Ji suddenly winked at Xu Yuan:

   “Changtian, your brother has that Tianxun wafer because he is the heir, and it will probably be handed over to you in the future”

  “.”

  Xu Yuan rolled his eyes directly.

  Here we go again.

  The old aunt started looking for benefits from him as soon as she didn’t pay attention.

  Within less than a month of meeting, he gave him 15 million taels of silver, and took away two rare Charm Flowers that are already extinct.

  If Xu Yuan, the last enchanting flower, insisted on keeping it for Su Meimo to study, it is estimated that this old aunt would have been molested by now.

  Lou Ji stepped forward, eagerly shaking Xu Yuan’s shoulder:

   “Long Sky.”

   “You want me to take the initiative to ask for Xu Changge’s Tianxun crystal?” Xu Yuan asked her, turning her back.

   “Hmmm.”

  Lou Ji nodded, her movements were a little big, and she followed suit.

  Xu Yuan grinned at the corner of his mouth, pointing to the tip of his nose:

  ”No, sister, why do you think that guy Xu Changge will give me something? How can I be beaten?”

   “Dare he?”

  Lou Ji raised her eyebrows, and then said softly to Xu Yuan, “My sister will go with you, if he dares to beat you, my sister will help you.”

  Xu Yuan glanced at her, unmoved:

   “Heh, why do I remember that when he hung me up and smoked, the one who laughed the happiest was you, sister?”

  Impossible, absolutely impossible, he, Xu Yuan, has been greedy for that day for a long, long time.

  Want? nonexistent.

  Lou Ji looked at Xu Yuan pitifully: “My sister really won’t do it anymore”

   “Let’s talk about it later.”

  Xu Yuan waved his hand to interrupt and dragged the words, but suddenly seemed to think of something, and immediately brought the topic back in a low voice:

   “So father is planning to cooperate with the emperor on this matter?”

  Lou Ji knew there was nothing to do, so she snorted coldly, sat on the chair opposite, and put her slender legs on the desk with a “boom”, hugging her chest reminded:

  ”Changtian, although there is a gap between the Xiangguo Mansion and the royal family, it is more about cooperation. If the royal family and our Xiangguo Mansion are completely opposed, unless there is a big change in the world in the future, the entire Great Yan Can be sucked to death step by step by those sects, and finally split back to the world of sects ten thousand years ago.”

  Hearing this reminder, Xu Yuan stared at those slender white jade legs, feeling a little dumb in his heart.

  Of course he understands this.

  Through the cooperation of Xu Yinhe and the emperor, the two men who fell from heaven, the combined strength of the royal family and Xiangguofu is probably the closest that Dayan Guozuo was to the world sect in 1300 years.

  It is certainly impossible for a civil war to happen first.

  There are so many world lines in Cangyuan. During the turmoil until the middle stage, the royal family and the Xiangguo Mansion have been standing together in the early stage.

  He asked the question just now because if the Xiangguo government intervened to rescue the siege at this time, the barbarians would most likely send it directly.

  This is not in line with the subsequent plot development at all. The barbarians basically have a low sense of presence in Cangyuan because there is no heroine, but they are more or less present in every line.

  Now the barbarians are directly exterminated, and the entire subsequent plot line will be messed up.

  In other words, in Cangyuan, the father probably did not choose to cooperate with the royal family on this matter.

  There must be something hidden in it.

  Is it because of his existence?

  Because the father felt that he had a new heir, he temporarily changed his choice?

  There is also the so-called Nine Princess Wu Yuan, who never appeared in Cangyuan. It is estimated that he died in the war with the barbarians with a high probability.

  Thinking about these things, Xu Yuan’s thoughts began to gradually diverge.

   “Long Sky.”

   “Long day.”

   “Long day!!!”

   Lou Ji’s voice suddenly called Xu Yuan back from his thoughts. She curled her lips and asked:

   “What were you thinking just now?”

  Xu Yuan came back to his senses and said with a smile:

   “It’s nothing, I’m thinking about my father’s choice.”

  Lou Ji looked suspicious, but she didn’t ask any more questions, just asked the question:

   “Chang Tian, ​​are you planning to go to the northern border with me now, or go directly to the Imperial Capital?”
