"Miss Zhou will come here for whatever she says, but it is more effective than the female Bodhisattva in the temple." Old Bao said with a smile.
However, Prince Mo's face became more serious, and he called out: "Wu Mo is here, the messenger is here."
The messenger arrived, and several guards who followed him stood nearby.
Seeing the posture of protecting him, everyone knew that the content of the order was very important.
"Prince Mo, accept the order!" The messenger took out the order card.
It's not an imperial decree, but a decree. It can be seen that when it is sent out, it is quite urgent.
Prince Mo's face became more serious.
After accepting the order on his knees, Wu Zhe arranged for the messenger to go out to rest and gave some money for his hard work.
Although she is secretly the leader of the mission, she still appears to be a female staff member who travels with the prince.
Of course, many people couldn't help but suspect that she was Prince Mo's close confidant. Fortunately, Shou Gong Sha kept the rumors from flourishing.
Looking at the order, Prince Mo's expression fluctuated.
Leopard was always waiting curiously, but he couldn't go up to peep, so he was anxious.
After seeing it well, Prince Mo handed the order to Wu Zhe who came back, and at the same time explained: "I didn't expect the people of Qi to succeed."
"What?" Old Leopard and Princess Qing exclaimed together. Of course, the voice of the former is louder, and the latter is psychologically prepared because he trusts Wu Zhe more.
"It's Xiao Ruoyao again. Everything is different because of her, and everything is full of variables because of her. She is like a Xuanwu goddess..." After Dugu Mo read the battle report, he forgot that there were two women present at the scene, and didn't notice too much It would be bad to boast about Xiao Ruoyao.
This is a decree, which is different from an imperial decree that only issues orders. When it was sent out, the spy leader and chief executive gave a brief introduction to the situation in the palace.
Emperor Xuanwu's illness involved too much, so naturally he didn't mention it, but asked Prince Mo to bring Zhou Zhiruo back to Wudu to have an audience. But for Xiao Ruoyao who broke into the inner palace of Wudu. The news that Princess Yoyo was rescued from Tiandi Pavilion was not concealed.
"What's going on? Did she really rescue Princess Youyou?" Elder Leopard couldn't believe it: "There are three saints near Wudu, and there are masters such as Long Lao and Mang Lao in the city. Ran?"
"As Princess Qing expected, experts from the Jin Kingdom participated." Dugu Mo glanced at Princess Qing, feeling admiration for this half-sister in his heart, and at the same time introduced: "But the most important thing is Xiao Ruoyao. She He actually wounded Lao Long with invisible sword energy, captured Lao Mang, even broke his limbs and took him to Qi State."
Old Leopard's eyes widened, and he suspected that he was a poor boy: "Old Long was injured, and Old Mang was captured? They were all done by Xiao Ruoyao? Wasn't it the Sect Master of the Sword Fighting Sect?"
Dugu Mo didn't answer for the time being, he walked out of the tent and summoned his servants to leave the luggage, and ordered them to inform the commander-in-chief of the frontier army.
When he returned to the tent, Princess Qing sighed, "There is no doubt that Xiao Ruoyao has completely recovered from her injuries."
"What a powerful Xiao Ruoyao. She did such a big thing right after recovering from her injury. Now the legend of her dominance will definitely reappear in the Jianghu." Old Leopard exclaimed.
Wu Zhe was curious: "After hurting Lao Long and Lao Mang, how could they be so powerful? Haven't they been beaten to death yet?"
"Fighting in the enemy's territory, you need to devote more energy to pay attention to your surroundings. In order to prevent sneak attacks by others, you can't make full use of your tenth power." Dugu Mo's face is serious: "Both Long Lao and Mang Lao are masters of the Xuanyue rank. How should I describe it? Any one of them only needs to use six or seven successes, and it is not something that Leopard and I can join forces to confront. So Xiao Ruoyao can injure them, which can be called an incredible record."
"Better than my master?" Wu Zhe asked in Zhou Zhiruo's way.
As a metatherapist who only knows about vitality, it's normal for her to have such doubts. This master is naturally not the suzerain of the sword-wielding sect. It's the master of the piano hall of Wuguo Yuan Healing Hall.
"Miss Zhou is not a warrior, so naturally she doesn't know the difference." Old Leopard introduced: "Yes. Miss Zhou's master Qin Palace Master is Xuanyue rank, but the Yuan Qi of Yuan Healing Technique is weaker than Xuan Qi, so In terms of strength, Mr. Long and the others are naturally stronger than Miss Zhou's master."
Dugu Mo can speak, and immediately continued: "But the master of the Qin Palace is a Yuan healer, so naturally he is no less important than Long Lao. This time, Long Lao is injured, and he must also need the help of the Qin Palace Master to treat her. Her important The effect is irreplaceable."
"For you to be glib." Wu Zhe nodded seemingly satisfied.
Dugu Mo smiled.
"Then it can be inferred. Could it be that Xiao Ruoyao's level has reached the peak state of the Xuanyue rank? What invisible sword energy is there?" Princess Qing thought for a while: "The invisible sword energy, could it be the "Dragon Babu" written by her? The six-meridian sword technique in the book?"
Talking about techniques instead of martial arts is a typical language in the Xuanwu world. Wu Zhe said something in his mind, and then pretended to be a think tank and deduced: "No, based on her previous record, it can be known that she can often perform supernormally and defeat the strong with the weak. When she did not reach the moon rank, she has repeatedly injured the moon rank. A master of the saint level."
Princess Qing slapped her palms: "That's right, she must have used some kind of trick or hidden weapon or poison to murder the two masters."
"Very likely, otherwise it would be too shocking." Elder Leopard agreed, and said, "But this kind of mentality is not easy. It's not in vain for her to ruin our negotiation."
"Isn't Xiao Ruoyao doing things that shock the world?" Dugu Mo said with a sad face.
Wu Zhe approached and patted him on the shoulder, and said to him with a pitiful and sad attitude: "Hey, my son, don't think about the past. It's not bad luck, look at Prince Xuan. At least you still have us now By my side, there is also the title of prince."
Dugu Mo only felt a gust of fragrant wind slowly penetrate into his nose, and felt the touch of soft and tender palms on his shoulders, and he couldn't help feeling distracted. Fortunately, he had a firm mind, and quickly said: "Indeed, it's a fluke. Especially with Miss Zhou by my side, it can be said to be even more powerful."
Wu Zhe laughed and said, "Young master is really good at flattering, but by the way, he even praised himself, smart people are cunning."
When she said this, everyone laughed and the atmosphere was relaxed.
Dugu Mo said in his heart: Qi has Xiao Ruoyao, and Zhou Zhiruo is by my side. Just look at her few words just now and turn our gloomy atmosphere around, it is enough to be called a talent who can read words and emotions and control people's hearts.
If Zhou Zhiruo is not good at basalt if he takes advantage of the national power of Wu Kingdom and plays well in strategizing, he can still compete with Xiao Ruoyao even if he is not good at Xuanwu.
He even began to fantasize in his heart: In the future, he would ascend to the throne, with Zhou Zhiruo as his adviser, and fight with Xiao Ruoyao of Qi State all day and night...
Wu Zhe continued: "This negotiation must have failed. But with the intrusion into Wudu and the rescue of Princess Youyou, our relationship has been completely wiped out. No one will say that it is us. Didn't get things done."
"That's right, that's not bad." Dugu Mo and Old Leopard laughed.
After Wu Zhe's words, everyone's mood turned 180 degrees.
"Artists and craftsmen are stationed at the border for the time being. I guess we may go to Qi State soon after we return to Wudu." Wu Zhe thought: "I still don't understand why Emperor Xuanwu called us back. According to common sense If so, it should be broken, let's go directly to Qi State, and start preaching about the marriage between Qi and Wu."
No matter how smart Wu Zhe was, he never thought that Emperor Xuanwu would suddenly suffer from myocardial insufficiency.
Princess Qing also agreed: "That's right, although Qi Guo rescued Princess Yoyo, it does not affect our mission plan. Moreover, after the incident of Princess Yoyo, we need a buffer period. We'd better hurry up and influence Qi." The alliance of Jin is right. It is also necessary to avoid the two countries coming to add chaos during the enthronement ceremony of Emperor Xuanwu."
Dugu Mo hesitated: "You mean, something is a little strange?"
Wu Zhe calculated: "Well, there are several possibilities. One is that the eldest prince blackmailed us behind our backs, but the possibility is not high, because since Emperor Xuanwu sent us to replace him, he is naturally very disappointed with him. And Xuanwu Huang Shengming must have foreseen that the eldest prince would try to slander him. Therefore, within a certain period of time, in front of Xuanwu Emperor, we have the invincible body to face the slander of others."
Dugu Mo laughed and said, "A King Kong who is not broken in the face of slander? Haha, this is an appropriate description."
"The second possibility is that there is a rebellion somewhere in the Wu Kingdom. To fight against the outside world, you must first secure the inside. Emperor Xuanwu doesn't care about envoy arrangements, and I hope you will lead the army to go out."
Hearing what Wu Zhe said, Dugu Mo couldn't help but condense his expression: "The Emperor Xuanwu dares to let me command the army again?"
He couldn't help feeling excited. After the last big defeat, he thought that there was no hope of touching military power again in a few years.
Everyone knows that touching military power is a crucial step for the prince. If Emperor Xuanwu let him control the military force again, it would mean that he had already moved to the front of the dragon chair.
But Wu Zhe quickly extinguished his wild thoughts: "No, this possibility is extremely small. After all, he has to take into account the tone of the government and the opposition. How dare he let you easily take over the military power again? I'm afraid there is still power in the eldest prince's side. They will try their best to oppose it, and even break the jar, which is even more detrimental to quelling civil strife."
"Then... what else is possible?" Dugu Mo was puzzled.
"Let me think about it." Wu Zhe couldn't think of it.
After all, it is difficult for ordinary people to think of Emperor Xuanwu's illness. All kinds of possibilities coexist, and it is difficult for her to guess from the thousands of possibilities without opening the golden finger of predicting the future.
Even Princess Qing frowned and couldn't figure it out.
What they didn't expect was that the important point of Emperor Xuanwu calling Dugu Mo back this time was not Dugu Mo, but Wu Zhe and Princess Qing. They are candidates for the brains of Xuanwu Emperor. Although they are still young, they are not inferior to themselves in terms of scheming.
At this time, a guard from outside the tent shouted loudly: "The Chief Commander has come to—"
Dugu Mo and the others rushed out to greet them.
"Prince Mo, why do you want to leave in such a hurry? But the old man didn't entertain you well?" The commander-in-chief was surprised by the announcement that Prince Mo was going back to Wudu, and hurried over with several generals and a few relatives.
Prince Mo hastily said a few words politely, and then explained: "...It's because the father has an order, so we can't stay here any longer. There are still many things here that need to be taken care of by the old general."
Wu Zhe invited the old general into the tent to discuss the remaining craftsmen and artists. (To be continued..)
