So the people gradually became quiet because they discovered that the emperor at the southern end and the famous Chu Shang Palace were not easy to deal with.

It was almost dark and the army had completely settled in Yongcheng. It was time to rest after working all day.

Cooking on the streets in Yongcheng began to take turns to rest and adjust. Chu Yunning's first thing was to confiscate the warehouse. When she saw that the rice and grain in the warehouse were all splashed with filth and smelly.

It’s a pity that the whole warehouse of rice and grain was wasted like this.

"Who is the brainless person doing this?" Chu Yunning was so angry that his teeth were so painful.

Not only that, all kinds of treasures were also destroyed, and this was all prepared to break Ning Yu and not to be fully prepared.

"Where is the magistrate of Yongcheng?" Xiao Jingheng asked someone to come over with a cold face.

After a while, the prefect came tremblingly. Before he got close, he kowtowed directly to Xiao Jingheng: "Long live the emperor."

"Who made this warehouse like this?"

Every city will have a rice grain warehouse, especially the closer to the border. The imperial court will transport a large amount of rice and grain every year in case of emergency needs.

The prefect immediately said: "Go back to the emperor, this is all the meaning of the national master. The national master ordered that the migrant warehouse be destroyed within three cities, and that 3,300 people must die in each city. If they cannot get all together, they will take the people from the city to get together."

Hearing this, everyone present was stunned and could hardly believe the facts heard in their ears.

"Why are there three thousand three hundred people?" Chu Yunning's voice was trembling. Who is so vicious?

The prefect shook his head.

Xiao Jingheng lifted his foot and kicked the prefect in the heart without saying a word. He was quick and ruthless, kicked the prefect far away, rolled around and returned to Xiao Jingheng.

"The emperor is merciful... Weichen's family is controlled by others. This is not Weichen's idea. The general hanging at the city gate came from the capital, and he did the warehouse.

The prefect's timid explanation.

Chu Yunning looked at the prefect who didn't look like he was lying, so she looked at Xiao Jingheng: "Three thousand three hundred people in three cities...there are nine in total."

The meaning of the nine fives.

What is this vicious method?

Chu Yunning felt as if she had fallen into a deep pit, sinking deeper and deeper. Xiao Jingheng covered her nose and gently pulled her sleeve: "Go out first."

"Um."

The air outside really smelled much better, but Chu Yunning felt that it was not relieved enough and gave a wink at Deputy General Li.

Deputy General Li understood it and drank water every two hours and changed it to a dirty thing, as long as it could not die.

Chu Yunning rubbed her forehead and sighed a long time, feeling helpless. Xiao Jingheng saw her thoughts: "What other ideas do you have?"

"We have already reached this point, so we can only walk forward with a firm head. I will catch him sooner or later."

Xiao Jingheng was amused and crying.

"Since the other party gave us three cities, don't let the other party down, and immediately let Changyang Hou send more people to support us."

Xiao Jingheng nodded: "You and I have thought of together."

Three days later, Changyang Hou led an army of 200,000 to guard the border, and Xiao Jingheng continued to attack forward.

Before I got closer, there was a strong burnt smell in the air, and the closer I got, the more I felt.

As if she realized something, Chu Yunning was almost vomited by this disgust. She gritted her teeth and a terrible thought flashed into her mind.

It won't...

"Your Majesty, there is a fire burning in Texas City. The fire has been out of control and countless people have been burned to death." The guards came to report.

really!

Chu Yunning forced his disgust and his little face turned pale. She didn't understand why the national master did this?

If you don’t even let go of people from your own country, don’t you have a reputation?

Xiao Jingheng stood at the gate of the city and did not order an attack. Instead, he opened the map and then discussed with several deputy generals on the spot.

There are also Yunzhou and Qi County alongside Dezhou City. If the three cities mentioned by the magistrate of Yongzhou should be Yongcheng, Dezhou City, and Mucheng.

"What if we go directly to Texas City and go directly to Yunzhou or Qi County?" said Deputy General Li.

Xiao Jingheng also had this idea.

...

Dongling

The battle reports were passed into the palace one by one, and Empress Dowager Dugu couldn't sit still: "In just a few days, the soldiers at the southern end had almost captured two cities. If they continued, they would sooner or later reach the imperial capital."

She twisted her graceful waist and came to Xiao Jingyan, with a little nervous tone: "Master, are we really sitting there?"

Xiao Jingyan was reading the memorial. When he heard this, he raised his eyes and looked at Empress Dowager Dugu. His eyes were clear and cold, which scared the other party to immediately distance him.

"There is a huge gap in the forces between the two countries, why do you have to do this in one go?" Xiao Jingyan slowly began to write a few words.

The Empress Dowager Dugu, who was beside him, had many questions in her mind and wanted to ask them several times, but she swallowed them back when she spoke.

"Don't worry, I will not let you be displaced. This position of Empress Dowager will always be yours, and no one can pull you down." Xiao Jingyan said in a faint tone, and she slapped the memorial in her hand and silently put it aside. She picked up another book and continued reading it. There was no panic on his face.

Gradually, Empress Dowager Dugu convinced herself to feel at ease.

At this time, the eunuch came to report: "Your Majesty, the national master is asking for a visit."

Xiao Jingyan stopped writing, nodded at the eunuch, and then winked at Empress Dowager Dugu. The other party withdrew with tactfulness.

After a while, the national master entered the door, and was still wearing a big black robe. His face was not visible. He saluted Xiao Jingyan, who was in a low tone; "I am here to see the emperor."

"The national teacher doesn't have to be too polite." Xiao Jingyan personally helped the national teacher up.

The two sat opposite each other, and the national master lowered his voice: "I wonder how the emperor is preparing?"

“Everything is ready.”

The laughter of the national master came from under the black robe: "The emperor's imperial fortune is getting stronger and stronger. I believe that he will be the leader in the near future, and it will not be in vain for the Nine Heavenly Evil Settlements."

Xiao Jingyan raised her eyebrows: "What if they don't go to that place?"

"Do you know why Chu Yunning must attack Dongling?"

"I would like to ask the national teacher for advice."

The national master's cold voice was filled with a biting cold air: "Because Chu Yunning's eldest son is not dead yet, he is seriously poisoned and the antidote is in Dongling, so he must come."

"But I remember that Chu Yunning was very skilled in medicine, so why couldn't he save his child?

"Xiao Jingyan was half-believing and half-doubted. He had witnessed Chu Yunning's medical skills, and under his nose, he killed the eldest princess without knowing it.

The national teacher smiled: "So what if you are superb in medical skills? You can't resist the child's weakness. Once the medicine is wrong, you will most likely die. Chu Yunning is a kind of protecting his child."

He knew everything that happened in Yongcheng, including how Chu Yunning dealt with those guards.

It seems that he really hates the other person.

"The emperor's fortune on Xiao Jingheng was originally stolen. Those innocent people died because of his killing. God will not forgive easily. Only three cities are needed, and he will exhaust the emperor's fortune." The national master said in a low tone: "Your biggest enemy now is not Xiao Jingheng, but the child named Beibei."

Xiao Jingyan frowned. He almost killed the child back then. If he had known it, he would have strangled him to death with his own hands, so as not to leave any future troubles.
