Chapter 526 Duzi
"I have a doubt."

"Xiguan was defeated, the western barrier was breached, and [-] soldiers died in the Sixteen-Character Battalion on the border of the Western Regions, and none of them fled back to Xiguan."

"The battle report said that the border of the Western Regions, the handover of Xiguan, the place where the battle was fought, was covered with mountains and fog, and it was extremely hidden. Jiang Qingyi was ambushed by the beast hordes of the Western Regions, which led to this great defeat."

The day when the tedious affairs of North Gusu Road were over.

The City Lord's Mansion, His Royal Highness, Second Highness, and Qi Shu have all arrived here.

Yi Xiao frowned, and said seriously: "I know where it is."

He pointed to the huge topographical map hanging on a wall of the City Lord's Mansion. On the ancient parchment, he circled the specific location where the West Barrier defeated [-] armors.

A horse Pingchuan.

A plain.

Wei Lingshan was next to Yi Xiao, and said softly: "When I was in Luoyang, Xuan Shangyu told me that this place is twenty miles deep into the border of Xiguan, there is a big snowfield, the wind is strong and there are no mountains, and the snow is extremely heavy. Ominous luck is flowing."

"Zipao said that in this terrain, there are no mountains to rely on, and birds cannot fly."

The Princess princess said the next four words with a complicated expression.

Birds cannot fly.

The young phoenix spread its wings and folded them here.

Xiao Buyi and Xiao Chongding did not speak.

"What I'm going to say next is just my guess."

Yi Xiao took a deep breath.

"Everyone should have heard that the Beiyuan Royal Court has been merged and annexed by the Mobei King in the previous battle."

Everyone present nodded slightly.

His Highness stretched out a finger, moved slowly on the hanging sheepskin ancient scroll, and moved to the northern plains beyond the North Wei Pass, where the wilderness and colder than the Western Regions.

The Beiyuan Royal Court, one of the four major royal courts, the Mobei Royal Court, with the support of the Northern Wei Dynasty represented by Yan Xiaoqi, almost annexed and swept the other three royal courts as a king.

The King of Mobei was a remarkable figure during the period of the Eight Great Kingdoms.

The reckless characters who rise from the humble beginnings should not be underestimated.

"The king of Mobei, I heard." Yi Xiao said slowly, considering his words, "He seems to have the great supernatural ability to control the weather and terrain in the big snowfield."

Qi Shu nodded after hearing the words, and said in agreement: "Tianque's information will not be false."

His Highness took a deep breath, and said: "The reason why I rushed to gather everyone to talk about this matter today is because I have an ominous premonition."

He rubbed the center of his brows, suppressed the uneasy restlessness in his heart, and said to the few people present: "If there is no accident, the three of us brothers will set off soon and prepare to return to Lanling City. They will return to Lanling City to take care of some central affairs, and Lanling City will send some core pillars of Qi Liang to arrive at North Gusu Road to assist the King of Xining and properly arrange the remaining details."

Yi Xiao frowned.

"It may be due to some premonition, I feel that these words are not fast."

He clenched the sleeve of the lotus robe with one hand, and kept pointing at the ancient sheepskin scroll through the sleeve with his fingertips.

Starting from Mobei Wangting, pointing and moving, following the movements of his fingertips, Yi Xiao kept opening his mouth and tapping his knuckles.

"The Mobei royal court completed the confluence of the northern plains, and Yan Xiaoqi is the biggest hero. It is said that the female Yama killed more than a thousand people from each of the three major royal courts by herself. With a killing god like her in charge, even the current Mobei royal court, I also have to be intimidated by her fierce power alone, not to mention the huge monster standing behind Yan Xiaoqi."

"Yan Xiaoqi is Cao Zhixuan's dead soldier, and one of the biggest chess pieces on the Zipao chessboard."

"When Yan Xiaoqi supported the king of Mobei to conquer Beiyuan, the royal court, which survived in name only, has actually been reduced to a pawn on the purple-robed chessboard."

"The Book of Mountains and Seas can hide the monster energy, but it can't turn the entire snowfield into mountains and rivers, and hide the monsters' figures."

"The only one who can do this is the King of Mobei."

"If you go deeper."

When Yi Xiao's words reached this point, the meaning was no longer clear.

it goes without saying.

Everyone's faces were a little weird.

His Highness suddenly stood up and subconsciously raised his voice.

"Ren Ping is dead!"

"The western barrier is broken!"

"Half of the sixteen-character battalion died! I don't know how many people died in Xiguan!"

"It's really ridiculous. This, what good does this do for the Northern Wei Dynasty?"

Xiao Chongding's complexion was very ugly.

He already understood what Yi Xiao wanted to say.

But all this, for no reason, without reason.

That purple robe has no reason to betray the country and cooperate with the enemy.

And colluding with the monster clan, colluding, and killing Xiguan soldiers is really too low and shameless.

"Whether it is Qiliang or Northern Wei Dynasty, they don't have a deep understanding of the monster race. No one knows what kind of supernatural powers the 'Shan Hai Jing' has." His Royal Highness said in a hurried voice: "If you can move mountains, if After all this, what's the point of these fantasies you just mentioned?"

Yi Xiao was silent.

He shook his head and said, "You're right, it doesn't make sense."

His Highness looked at his elder brother.

Xiao Chongding is still too naive.

The faces of Mr. Qi Shu and Xiao Buyi are fine, but a little weird.

The meeting in the City Lord's Mansion was very short.

After the sentence was over, there was silence.

Xiao Chongding was also silent.

He seemed to understand what it really meant.

When everyone understood what Yi Xiao meant.

This meeting with only a few people participating is really meaningless.

"Existence is reasonable."

"As long as there is a slight possibility, you have to guess. What if it comes true?"

The City Lord's Mansion on North Gusu Road was brightly lit.

Xiao Buyi and Mr. Qi Shu hurriedly walked in the corridor.

"Your Highness suddenly brought up this idea, which surprised me." Qi Shu lowered his eyebrows, walked to his mansion, opened a door, and invited the Second Highness to sit in the room.

After closing the door, he stood quietly for a moment, then suddenly turned around and asked a question.

"The Second Highness will return to the city tomorrow?"

Xiao Buyi nodded slightly.

"A big wedding is a good thing, don't let trivial things spoil your mood." Qi Shu said softly: "If it is possible, Qi Shu is willing to spare time to be the master of ceremonies for His Royal Highness."

Xiao Buyi was a little bored, and took a deep breath: "Mr. Qi Shu, you and I both understand what Yi Xiao said, what exactly does it mean, why try to take the burden off the other party's shoulders?"

"Yes."

There was a slight flicker in Qi Shu's eyes: "Qi Shu is clumsy, I don't know if he thought of it with the Second Highness."

"I know what you want to say." Xiao Buyi covered his lips, coughed weakly several times in a row, and said, "Duizi. It's Duizi."

"Ren Ping is dead."

"The western rampart is broken."

"Many people died in Xiguan."

"How does this benefit the Northern Wei Dynasty?"

He shook his head, and repeated Xiao Chongding's words with some self-deprecation.

Everyone thinks so.

Qi Shu accepted Xiao Buyi's words.

He murmured, "But is there any harm to the Northern Wei Dynasty?"

Is Ren Ping living a good thing?

Is it a good thing that the Western Wall is still there?

"What the Northern Wei Dynasty wants is Jiang Qingyi, and it's just Jiang Qingyi. It's been like this from beginning to end. The Northern Wei Dynasty needs someone who can take over Li Qing's important tasks. Jiang Qingyi is perfect, because he is from Luoyang. After he takes over Xiguan one day, he won't have to worry about this most powerful area breaking away from Luoyang's control."

"But Ren Pingsheng is by Jiang Qingyi's side, and Jiang Qingyi has gradually begun to become different from before."

"If this continues, he will become the next Li Qing. But Xiguan will never become Cao Zhixuan's Xiguan."

"For Qiliang, the loss of the beacon doesn't seem so difficult to accept."

"So all of us take it for granted that the West Barrier is completely different from the Beacon Tower. If Xiguan wants to fight to the death and defend it to the death, it is impossible to lose this city."

"20 beasts attacked the city. If Jiang Qingyi didn't rush forward and wanted to defend to the death, even if he sacrificed himself to the [-]-[-]-character battalion, he might not be able to defend the western barrier."

"For Luoyang, how many people died in Xiguan is just a number."

"As long as you can bear it, is it really that important whether you can hold it or not?"

"Ren Ping is dead. Once Jiang Qingyi can't see the truth, he will regard the Western Regions as his lifelong hatred. Now Fengchu, who has lost all support, has only one backing, which is Luoyang."

"The man from the Cao family who helped him at the critical moment can definitely give him a chance to start again, and then help him return to Xiguan, and finally become the second Li Qing."

"Then. hold Xiguan firmly."

All in all.

Both are silent.

Xiao Buyi's voice was hoarse: "Very weird logic."

Qi Shu paled: "But...it makes sense."

"His thoughts are always different from ordinary people." His Highness closed his eyes and thought about Yi Xiao's words, manners, movements, and demeanor when he spoke.

Like worrying about something.

There are still some words that have not been spoken.

Xiao Buyi coughed a few times, and stopped thinking about it, but looked at Qi Shu: "Father's health seems to be not good recently, and it is approaching the end of the year, so I should go back. After Fengsui gave up, Qi Liang can stay the same and respond to all changes, some things are irrelevant, just let him go."

Qi Shu didn't nod or shake his head.

"No one knows what that purple robe is thinking."

"A few days ago, Xiguan was also sitting on the current North Gusu Road, and the barrier was broken overnight."

He was a little annoyed: "The current situation is complicated, Qi Shu. I can't see clearly. If so."

The latter half of the sentence was not spoken.

Xiao Buyi knew what he wanted to say.

If the teacher is there, it will be fine.
