When he thought of Fa Xiaoyi, on Yue Jinghua's neck, the bite mark left by Fa Xiaoyi full of hatred, felt like a fire was burning, and it started to hurt hotly.
Fa Xiaoyi seems to be different.
Yue Jinghua sighed, rubbed the center of his brows, and carefully analyzed the two intelligence reports from the Eagle Department.
Looking at it, Yue Jinghua had no choice but to admire Yingbu's ability to collect information is really outstanding.
The two spies she had in hand were more complete than those of Princess Longxue and the military department.
From the time when the Northern Expeditionary Army went all the way to the Kingdom of Shang, until Xiao Jinnuo led a group of dragon knights into the misty canyon, everything was detailed, almost like tracking and recording all the way.
Among them, what impressed Yue Jinghua the most was Fa Xiaoyi's fighting style.
Before the Northern Expeditionary Army crusade against the Shang Kingdom,
He first made a surprise attack and forced the palace to capture the concubine Sha and the little prince of the Shang Kingdom.
He also took advantage of the lives of Concubine Sha's mother and son to force him to arrive in a hurry. Xiao Jinnuo and Zhan Beiao, who hadn't had time to set up camp, had disagreements and split the original Northern Expedition army into two.
Then set up a Hongmen banquet to lure Zhan Beiao into the palace, set up an ambush in the Shang palace, shoot Zhan Beiao to death, announce the adulterous affair between Concubine Sha and Zhan Beiao to the people of the Shang country, kill the little emperor, and use this to fight To avenge his brother, revive the slogan of the Shang Kingdom, mobilize the people of the Shang Kingdom to resist the Northern Expedition, and sign a non-aggression treaty with the Risong Federation.
Step by step, everything is carefully planned. It is not difficult to see that he is meticulous and considerate.
When she was in the Shang Kingdom, Yue Jinghua never really regarded Fa Xiaoyi as an opponent. In her eyes, Fa Xiaoyi was just a selfish and reckless prince. Zhan Beiao took advantage of the opportunity and ended up in a miserable end
But this time during the Northern Expedition, Fa Xiaoyi's behavior style was completely different.
Back then, Fa Xiaoyi was like a ferocious beast, only knew how to advance aggressively, but didn't know how to retreat.
But now, he is more like a dormant cobra, advancing and retreating at a pace, opening his mouth wide at the most appropriate time to engulf undefended prey.
After reading the two intelligence reports from the Eagle Department, Yue Jinghua had a new premonition that his elder brother Yue Minzhi's trip to the imperial city to report on his duties this time might not go well.
In the imperial capital, if you go out to Zhan Tianwai, I'm afraid there will be no suitable generals to go to the Shang Kingdom for reinforcements.
Yue Minzhi came back at a very bad time.
After reading all the messages, Yue Jinghua closed the intelligence.
After pondering for a moment, she put the spy information back into her free will, and went back to the Duke's mansion first.
As she expected, after Yue Minzhi entered the palace, he has not returned yet.
After chatting with Lie Rou for a few words, she ordered Salman to prepare a dress for entering the palace, and after changing the clothes, she went to the palace to see Princess Longxue.
In the imperial city, Princess Longxue was finishing talking with Yue Minzhi about the Northern Expedition. Yue Minzhi was shocked, but he also hesitated about the princess asking him to go to Shang Kingdom.
Zhan Tian also told about the assassins that happened in the imperial capital.
As a courtier, Yue Minzhi couldn't refuse the princess' order at all.
But it was only half a day since he returned to the imperial capital, and the accompanying dragon knights hadn't rested yet. If he could go to the Shang country, the boats and cars were exhausted, and even if he arrived in the Shang country, it would be the end of his battle.
In addition, he is very familiar with the skills of marching and fighting, even if the "war corpse" Zhan Beiao died in Shang Kingdom, how could he be able to capture Fa Xiaoyi.
Although Yue Minzhi is loyal by nature, he is not a fool. He still has the blood of Grand Duke Yue Nian on his body.
"It's not that I don't want to serve, it's just that the dragon knights and their party have suffered physical and mental damage after going through the Southern Expedition, and several Asian dragons have contracted the disease. They need at least half a month of recuperation before they can go on an expedition again," Yue Minzhi also said. The refusal was just to use the excuse of the Asian dragon's illness to block Princess Longxue's order.
Half a month
Right now, the Northern Expedition was in a critical situation. It would take seven or eight days to travel from the imperial capital to the Shang Kingdom, even with the fastest empty ship in the empire.
Coupled with the half-month rest period, I am afraid that Xiao Jinnuo and others have already been defeated.
If little Jinnuo died in the Shang Kingdom again and lost dozens of dragon knights, what would the reputation of the Dragon Warrior Empire be
After hearing this, Princess Longxue showed displeasure.
But Yue Minzhi's reason was also reasonable, if he used force to force him to agree, he might cause the dragon knights to backlash, so Princess Longxue had no choice but to look at Zhan Tian for help.
Zhan Tian frowned and thought for a while, and was about to speak, but saw the female palace whispering in Princess Longxue's ear.
After hearing this, Princess Longxue's complexion immediately turned cloudy. She coughed, and sympathetically asked Yue Minzhi to return to the Duke's Mansion to rest, and a few days later, in the imperial city, reward the ministers who have made great contributions to the Southern Expedition. .
Yue Minzhi saw that Princess Longxue was suddenly relieved, and also wiped off his cold sweat, so he didn't dare to ask any more questions, and retreated respectfully.
Yue Min left on the front foot, but Yue Jinghua entered the palace on the back foot.
"It's you?!" Zhan Tian frowned and snorted when he saw Yue Jinghua.
Yue Jinghua used his brother's identity to secretly learn about his Dragon King's Domain, just like a thorn in Zhan Tian's heart, which would come down from time to time.
"Yue Jinghua, what did you do?" Princess Longxue smiled sinisterly, looking at Yue Jinghua with an inscrutable expression.
"It's my honor to be able to do things for the princess," Yue Jinghua knew in her heart that she was asking about Long Jiuzun's matter, but she didn't say it clearly. Zhan Tian, who was watching from the side, was very suspicious.
"I will pursue the Nanzheng matter later. Let me ask you, just now you asked the lady officer to tell me about it, but is it true?" Princess Longxue couldn't bear it any longer. In the case of internal and external troubles, it is inevitable to lose sense of proportion.
Just now, what Yue Jinghua asked the female officer to tell her was like a kitten's paw, tickling her heart.
"It's true, as long as Princess Longxue can agree to a few conditions of mine, I can guarantee that within two days, I will rush to the Shang Kingdom without spending a single soldier from the empire, rescue Lord Xiao Jinnuo, and win the victory." Northern Expedition." Yue Jinghua said calmly, her starry eyes were full of confidence.
"Two days? Ridiculous, how could it be possible to go from the imperial capital to the Shang Kingdom in just two days?" Zhan Tian shook his head again and again when he heard that.
"Tell me your conditions," Princess Longxue signaled Zhan Tian not to interrupt, she believed that Yue Jinghua would not make random promises.
"My conditions are actually very simple. For the princess, it's nothing more than a matter of effort. First, I ask the princess to merge the two counties of Fontaine and Bailu into one, and put them under the ownership of the Duke's mansion, and reduce or exempt the taxes in the two counties for ten years. Two. Three, if the Northern Expedition succeeds, please canonize the July mercenary regiment as the first regiment of the Dragon War." Yue Jinghua spoke clearly, and his voice fell into the ears of the two. Here, it was like a dull thunder, and the two people present were suddenly stunned.
