Chapter 31 Conspiracy

At this moment, on the official road leading from Yezhou City in the north to Yingtian Mansion in the hinterland of Daxia, a embarrassed figure was holding the reins, his eyes were sharp, his body was full of wind and dust, he kept making urging sounds, and every time he raised a whip, If it falls once, it will definitely hit the horse hard.

"Vald... Huh."

"........."

After a long neigh, the horse under the seat trembled all over, and then involuntarily pulled out, white foam spit out from the corner of its mouth, and its forward speed gradually slowed down.

"drive!"

The sergeant wearing a banner urged vigorously, but the horse fell sideways to the ground and fell heavily to the ground.

"It's only ten miles away!"

The sergeant checked the condition of the horse and knew in his heart that he had run too fast and could only let it run its course.

"Run there, there are still ten miles to the station."

The sergeant glanced at the fallen horse, and then looked reluctantly, but turned around resolutely, and ran towards the post station with all his strength.

The sergeant who sent the message had innate cultivation. Although he was not as fast as a horse when he ran, he was still fast.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the ten-kilometer journey was also reached. After showing the military order, he took two thousand-mile horses again and galloped towards Daxia Yingtian Mansion again.

It is a long journey of thousands of miles, from the north to Yingtianfu, even if you ride a thousand-mile horse, day and night, it will take three days.

But this messenger sergeant from the northern border, relying on his own perseverance, not only traveled day and night, but also greatly saved the time for eating, drinking and lazing. In the end, in just one day, he ran to death three thousand-mile horses, covering a distance of thousands of miles , at night, arrived at the city of Yingtian Mansion.

"Report!"

A high-pitched and long voice sounded in the Xuanzheng Hall.

Emperor Xia was reading Zhu Zhu's comments at the moment, and frowned upon hearing this.

The chief eunuch Wang Yongnian beside him understood, and the young eunuch at the side removed the lampshades on both sides and picked out the wick to make the candle brighter.

"His Majesty……"

Wang Yongnian took the sealed bamboo tube containing the golden arrow from the messenger, opened it, took out a letter from it, and presented it to Emperor Xia for his own reading.

"Well……"

Emperor Xia looked at the contents stated in the envelope, frowned slightly, and put down the vermilion pen in his hand again. Wang Yongnian beside him understood, took the candle from the little eunuch's hand, took off the lampshade, and handed it to Emperor Xia.

Seeing the letter in his hand burning little by little, from white to black, Xia Di's eyes lit up, and the deep eyes reflected the appearance of candle flames.

"Big companion, go and call Li Hui in."

"promise."

In response, Wang Yongnian slowly exited the Xuanzheng Hall, and then, led by a little eunuch carrying a lamp, went to the side hall where the imperial guards were.

While walking on the road, Wang Yongnian kept thinking about the scene just now in his mind, but he could never guess what His Majesty was thinking.

Afterwards, he stopped thinking about it, and went to the place where the imperial guards were, and together with Li Hui, he returned to the Xuanzheng Hall to meet him.

"My lord, Li Hui greets His Majesty."

"Get up."

"Everyone who is idle, please get back."

After Emperor Xia said something, Wang Yongnian started waving his hands under his sleeves, and the little eunuchs on both sides also put down their work, fixed the lamps and candles, and then bowed and retreated.

After closing the hall door, Li Hui, the chief eunuch Wang Yongnian, and Emperor Xia were the only ones in the huge Xuanzheng Hall.

He raised the teacup and took a sip of tea, then he saw Emperor Xia slowly speaking: "Just now, the King of Jin sent a letter from the north, and the three barbarians gathered with 50 cavalry outside Chen Bingyezhou City. Perhaps at this moment, it has already An attack was launched on the city wall of Yezhou."

Emperor Xia spoke very slowly and clearly. Li Ruan, who was kneeling below, was also surprised when he heard the words. After regaining his composure, he also frowned in thought.

"I called you here because I want to give you a mission. Within three days, I don't want the news about the 50 cavalry of the Three Barbarians knocking at the customs to spread from any city in the northern border to the hinterland of Great Xia. If there is any news that comes out, Then you understand the consequences."

Emperor Xia put down the teacup in his hand, and looked directly at Li Hui who was kneeling below.

"I promise that if any piece of news is leaked, I will pay for it with the lives of the whole family..."

"carry on."

"No, the minister will leave."

"........."

Li Huo bowed his body and exited the main hall, then returned to the side hall non-stop, immediately summoned all the available guards, centered on Yingtian Mansion, activated a large number of hidden guards lurking in various cities.

In the Xuanzheng Hall, Emperor Xia looked calm and picked up the Zhubi in his hand again to review the memorial on the Long Case.

The eunuch Wang Yongnian took the teacup on the dragon table from the side, and added some hot ones to it.

But his heart was icy cold.

The questions that he hadn't figured out before were like enlightenment at this moment, and all the confusion suddenly became clear.

According to common sense, 50 cavalry of the Sanman knocked on the pass. After such a major news reached the capital, the king would definitely call a group of ministers overnight to announce the news, and at the same time think about countermeasures.

But judging from Emperor Xia's attitude at the moment, he had no intention of summoning a group of ministers overnight. Instead, he summoned Li Huo, the commander of the imperial guards, who was close to his body and mind, and asked him to block the news of the three barbarians knocking off the gate for three days.

Thinking of the cultural meeting that will be held tomorrow, Wang Yongnian's heart was full of horror, and even his fingers hidden under the long sleeves were trembling slightly.

He understood that the emperor in front of him was a generation of heroes who had been in charge of the Great Xia for 30 years and had made great achievements in many aspects, but compared with the previous emperors of the Great Xia, he seemed relatively mediocre.

But he didn't dare to underestimate the current emperor of Great Xia.

What he did today shocked him even more.

He didn't expect that his Majesty, who he had served for 30 years, would have such great ambitions that he dared to draw attention to the heads of all schools of thought. What's even more frightening was that what the emperor said just now didn't seem to have any effect. avoid him.

Could it be that Emperor Xia is also testing himself?Yes or no?
Wang Yongnian didn't know, and he didn't dare to guess. His body became more respectful, and he only dared to hang his body and stand quietly aside.

This matter is too important. Maybe even he will be in danger of his life if he is not careful and takes a wrong step.

In Daxia Kyoto, due to the early arrival of the Wenhui Festival, the night curfew has also begun to be relaxed. The streets and alleys are filled with dim lanterns. Looking down from a high place, the entire Yingtian Mansion is like stars. The dots are densely covered and beautiful.

Of course, on every street and alley, there are naturally many men, women and children who come to join in the fun and open their eyes. After all, it is not likely that there will be an opportunity to impose a curfew for many years.

For ordinary people, this day is even more lively than New Year's Eve.

However, under this peaceful scene, no one knew that the situation in Yezhou City, thousands of miles away, had become critical.

Although the entire four states in the northern border are all in operation, and all kinds of materials, weapons, arrows, etc. are continuously transported towards the city of Yezhou, there is always a thick cloud in everyone's heart, which cannot be dispelled no matter what. .

50 Sanman iron cavalry knocked on the pass, which has not happened in 30 years, and the current situation is critical!
