For ordinary Xiye people, the official army has already been destroyed, but Xiye King and everyone else in the study know that the official family still has the last Guan Yubai.
In an instant, King Xiye's lips were pursed into a straight line, and many images of the past flashed through his mind.
Once, in Xiye, the names of Guan Ruyan and his son were enough to intimidate crying children.
In the past, I don't know how many famous Xiye generals were defeated by Guan Yubai, a yellow-haired boy, and tens of thousands of Xiye soldiers died in Xijiang, never having the chance to return to their homeland...
In the past, that high-spirited young general was invincible on the battlefield in the western border, and his reputation had long surpassed his uncle's generation, and he had the tendency to keep pace with his father...
In the past, Guan Yubai, who was rising like a new star, and the official army, who was in full swing, made his father, him, and Xi Ye feel like they were sitting on pins and needles, and couldn't sleep at night!
He took great pains to get rid of the official army, leaving only the official Yubai who became a sick man to live on...
The official language white has been abolished!
It is impossible for the Emperor Dayu to use the official language, and it is even more impossible for the official language to be used by the Emperor Dayu!
He thought he had completely removed the thorn in their side for Xi Ye!
However, after nine years, how could that Guan Yubai come back? !
Come back with such a thunderbolt!
How is this possible? !
There seemed to be a turbulent sea in Xiye King's heart, and he shouted violently.
Who gave Guan Yubai this tens of thousands of troops, and who is such an elite teacher? !
It could never be the cowardly, suspicious and incompetent Emperor Dayu.
No matter who the person behind Guan Yubai is, it is impossible for Guan Yubai's army to appear north of the Lahe Mountains out of thin air... Could it be that all the cities south of the Lahe Mountains have been captured
Thinking of this, King Xiye shrank his pupils sharply, and his face was a little pale. That is nearly one-sixth of Xiye's country today!
West Night King clenched his fists tightly, and the veins on the back of his hands and his forehead were raised.
After a while, he calmed down a little, and said in a deep voice, "Give me a map!"
The waiter waited, and quickly presented the map, pressed it on the banner, and spread it out.
The King of Xiye looked down at the map of Xiye in front of him, and his eyes immediately fell on the Lahe Mountains, which stretched for hundreds of miles, and then continued to move south, passing the Xihe River, and finally settled on Qili, a small country in the south of Xiye.
It is very likely that Guan Yubai passed through the Qili Kingdom and entered the southern border of Xiye, which means that Guan Yubai will also pass through the Dachi Kingdom, the Luo Siam Kingdom... and then Nanliang.
That’s all for these small countries, maybe they will be forced to make excuses due to the pressure of tens of thousands of tigers and wolves, but Nanliang is a big country in the south. Even if the Northern Expedition fails and is expelled from the southern border by the son of Zhennan Prince, it will still be a centipede , dead but not stiff, it is impossible to let Guan Yubai lead the army to cross the border at will... Wait!
Southern Xinjiang! It's Southern Xinjiang again!
Dayu has the Southern Border Army in the western border, and they also have the Southern Border Army in the southeastern border of Xiye. How can there be so many coincidences in this world!
The sudden appearance of Guan Yubai must have a great connection with Southern Xinjiang!
Yes, it must be so.
With the nobleness of the official family, it is impossible to be recruited by the Nanliang people, and now that Xiye is under attack from three sides by the Southern Border Army and Guan Yubai, the answer is ready...
King Xiye's face was ashen, and he gritted his molars and muttered: "So, Guan Yubai and Xiao Yi, the heir of Zhennan Prince, are in the same group!"
One sentence made the atmosphere in the study slightly changed, the temperature seemed to have suddenly turned a lot colder, and the several generals who were standing by were secretly looking at each other, their eyes full of surprise.
Although they didn't understand how the king came to this conclusion, but the king has always been resourceful and able to know what others don't. Since he said so, he must have come to the conclusion after careful consideration.
Obviously, Xiye is now facing an unprecedented crisis!
This Guan Yubai is a wise general who is hard to come by in a hundred years, and the son of the southern king of Dayu Town has heard that he has the style of his ancestors. Even in Xiye, they have heard that the old king of Zhennan "human slaughter "The great reputation!
West Night King didn't care about other people, his eyes still lingered on the map.
Although it was confirmed that Guan Yubai and Xiao Yi must have colluded secretly, he couldn't figure out how Guan Yubai broke through to the southern border of Xiye and bypassed the Lahe Mountain Range...
The Western Night King repeatedly observed the environment around the Lahe Mountains. If it wasn't Nanliang, what possibility is there
Could it be that they passed through the wild plateau in the southwest of Dayu, and then bypassed the east side of the Lahe Mountains
But wouldn't that alarm Emperor Dayu
Or did Guan Yubai make a big circle from those small countries further west...
or...
As far as he knew, Guan Yubai had always been scheming and scheming, and he dared to think of things that no one dared to think about. All kinds of wild and unconstrained conspiracies and schemes emerged endlessly. This person is really difficult to deal with!
Or he was careless, if he had known today, five years ago when his envoy from Xiye went to Dayu King's capital, he should have used Emperor Dayu's intention to negotiate a peace, and took the opportunity to make a condition to get rid of the official language Bai Cai. Enemy from back to back today!
A young soldier with a square face in his twenties looked at King Xiye's complexion, clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, the last general wishes to go south so that the official..."
Before he could finish speaking, he saw King Xiye suddenly swept his right arm over the imperial case, sweeping all the maps, flags, teacups, paperweights, pens, inks, papers and inkstones on the case onto the ground...
All of a sudden, there was a messy sound of landing one after another, the teacup was shattered, and the fragments splashed out together with the tea and ink, and other things rolled to the ground, and the study was suddenly full of chaos.
The soldiers didn't dare to move at all, and the tea or ink splashed on their robes and shoes.
Afterwards, there was a dead silence in the study, and the young soldier didn't dare to speak any more. The corners of the mouths of the middle-aged soldiers beside him curled up in a sneering arc. When Guan Yubai was galloping on the battlefield and laughing at the heroes, he was still wearing crotch pants!
As for the King of the West Night, after venting a bit, he didn't feel relieved, but his brows were furrowed even tighter.
Now that Guan Yubai's army is coming from the southern border, they are aggressively eating up so many cities, as if a piece of flesh and blood has been ripped out of his heart, he must do something, send troops to support the southern border...
He cast a gloomy glance at the young soldier, his face even more ugly.
Going south? !
He also wants to send troops south, but the problem is...
Xiye was already stretched to the limit at this moment, most of the troops were transferred to the western border of Dayu, and a small part was sent to the southeast border to deal with Xiao Yi.
Moreover, not only is there a shortage of troops, but food, grass, horses, armor, equipment, etc. are all in short supply...
Thinking of this, Xi Ye Wang's complexion was so gloomy that ink could drip out.
He collected himself, raised his head just now, and asked in a deep voice: "Lakeda, how many troops can we send south to support?"
A middle-aged soldier in his forties immediately took half a step forward, not daring to raise his head, and clasped his fists in response, "Return to the king, up to 20,000."
The young soldier with the square face finally realized that he had made a big mistake.
There was a moment of silence in the study, and then only the voice of Xiye King sounded again: "Do you know how many people were brought by the official language?"
Lakda lowered his head even lower, and replied with a slightly stiff voice: "It's not sure yet... But in the end, it will be at least 50,000."
At the same time as he finished speaking, neither he nor the other soldiers around held their breath, waiting for the next wave of anger from the King of the West Night.
Unexpectedly, there was a long silence...
Xiye Wang seemed to have calmed down a lot, stroked his beard on his chin, and lowered his eyes in thought.
Xiao Yi also sent reinforcements of 20,000 soldiers and horses, and they couldn't move, lest they lose sight of others.
In this case, there is only one option left.
Dayu Xijiang!
Now that Han Huaijun, the general of Xijiang, has been defeated, and Emperor Dayu and the Marquis of Weiyuan are bent on seeking peace. For himself and Xiye, this is the best opportunity!
Dayu Xijiang has a total of more than 100,000 troops in Xiye. As long as the war in Xijiang is certain, he will be able to dispatch enough troops from there to wipe out Guan Yubai in the south.
Back then, Guan Yubai and the official army made him Xiye lose troops and generals countless times, and even more damaged his prestige, Xiye had to live in a corner for many years.
This time, the official language came to his door in vain, giving him a chance to settle his old scores.
When he falls into his hands, he must make him regret daring to provoke Xi Ye! What's more, let him know what it means to live but not die!
The corner of West Night King's mouth curled into a cold smile, like a poisonous snake.
"Decree to Tahai, end the war in Western Xinjiang as soon as possible!"
When King Xiye gave the order, those soldiers immediately felt the deep meaning in it, and they all clasped their fists to compliment "the king is wise".
Amidst the praises, King Xiye let out his previous gloom, and became energetic again.
Although the current battle situation looks extremely dangerous, as long as the war in Xijiang is over, the situation will change drastically.
As long as enough troops are mobilized, what is Guan Yubai's mere 50,000 troops? !
After all, these 50,000 troops are not the official army, but the Southern Border Army!
The official army was so powerful and terrifying back then, not only because those soldiers were elite soldiers with one enemy against ten, but also because the whole army was united. Faith, all officers and soldiers of the official army can go through fire and water without any doubts...
But now it's different!
The master of the Southern Frontier Army was surnamed Xiao, not Guan.
No matter when and how Guan Yubai colluded with Xiao Yi, there must be some kind of interest connection between them. Once interests are involved, this kind of cooperation is extremely fragile. Now, Xiao Yi can donate tens of thousands to Guan Yubai. The army, tomorrow, he can withdraw the tens of thousands of troops for some reason.
As long as you are a human being, you will inevitably be suspicious, and the more powerful you are, the more unavoidable this problem will be!
Thinking about it, a sneer flashed in Xiye King's eyes.
I just need to use a little bit of tricks to plant seeds of doubt between the two, make them suspicious of each other, and make them turn against each other, so what else can Guan Yubai rely on? !
At this moment, Guan Yubai seems to be leading an army of tens of thousands, and he is invincible. In fact, he is walking on a thin rope, surrounded by cliffs, and a random gust of wind is enough to destroy Guan Yubai forever!
Nine years ago, I was able to ruin Guan Yubai once, but now, I can ruin him a second time!
But this time, Guan Yubai will never turn over again!
The study was quiet for a long time, but this time, what filled it was no longer dullness and depression, but eager ambitions.
boom! boom! boom!
His heart was beating like a drum, and after an unknown amount of time, Xiye King finally looked at the generals again, and gave a series of orders in a deep voice...
After a while, I heard the resounding voices of echoing and receiving orders from the soldiers in the study.
After that, those soldiers filed out with their heads held high and their chests held high, and went back separately.
Afterwards, an expedited decree of eight hundred miles was quickly sent out of the palace and sent to the distant western border of Dayu...
The sky gradually darkened, and finally fell into the shroud of night, and everything was silent...
Compared with Xiye and Dayu, which are full of dangers and riots, southern border is as peaceful as a paradise, and those disturbances seem to be isolated by some invisible force.
After Laba, the palace became more busy, and it was the fourteenth day of the twelfth lunar month in a blink of an eye. It is an auspicious day for offering sacrifices, praying, accepting gifts, marrying, etc.
Early in the morning, the main courtyard of the Wangfu was full of lively noise.
Not only Zhennan King was there, but Nangong Yue, Xiao Xiaoyu, Wei Fangfei and Xiao Rongrongyu were also there.
Zhennan Wang Hongliang's voice came from the hall: "Shizifei, brother Yu's birthday will be next month, but you can't be sloppy." According to him, the double full moon banquet in the first half of the year was still too simple, but that was His precious golden grandson, the heir to the Zhennan Palace, can afford it no matter how grand it is!
Nangong Yue bowed and accepted with a smile. Before Brother Yu's birthday ceremony, A Yi and Guan Yubai are coming back, so it's time to have a good time.
King Zhennan stroked his beard, and said worriedly: "Concubine Shizi, I will order the accountant to transfer 10,000 taels to you later, and then invite all relatives and friends from far and near, and then please go to the class of Cheng's family." Come to sing an opera, it must be grand and lively. Also, the things used for the birthday ceremony must be the best... By the way, I remember that there should be some good things in my private treasury, which can be caught by Brother Yu. use… "
Zhennan Wang talked endlessly, and the more he talked, the more excited he became.
Nangong Yue echoed from the side from time to time.
In the hall, there is harmony.
After talking about a series of first-year celebrations in a vigorous manner, King Zhennan felt a little dry in his mouth. He took a cup of tea to moisten his throat, and sighed in his heart: I just felt that I really broke my heart for Jinsun!
Hey, who made him have an uneasy son!
King Zhennan couldn't help frowning and said, "Brother Yu's big day will be soon, and A Yi doesn't know where to go!" There is only more than a month left before the baby Jinsun's first birthday. No one was there!
Thinking that Xiao Yi's rebellious son led an army of tens of thousands to leave Luoyue City, King Zhennan felt a dull pain in his temple.
In the hall, there was a moment of silence. Nangong Yue picked up the teacup and pretended she didn't hear it. So did Wei Shi and Xiao Rongyu.
And another person in this room just happened to come out slowly from the west room, just in time to hear someone calling his name, so he yelled "ah".
This milky cry immediately turned Zhennan Wang's worry into joy, and he smiled happily, and hurriedly followed the sound.
Little Xiao Yu staggered towards the direction of King Zhennan, showing a bright smile and cute millet teeth to King Zhennan, and shouted: "Zu...Zu..."
"Brother Yu!"
Seeing Jinsun coming towards him like a baby swallow returning to its nest, King Zhennan smiled foolishly.
The little guy's two chubby legs were staggering, and Juan Niang followed carefully behind, with a nervous expression on her face, afraid that the little grandson would accidentally...
This is what you are afraid of. Suddenly, Xiao Xiaoyu sprained his right foot and fell straight to the ground...
Juanniang let out a low cry, and wanted to help the little grandson, but it was already a step too late, and she watched the little guy fall to the ground.
Zhennan Wang's old face was almost wrinkled together, feeling distressed, as if he was the one who fell down.
"Giggle..."
Xiao Xiaoyu raised his round face and smiled happily. In fact, the ground of the main courtyard was already carpeted by Zhennan Wang's servants, and the little guy was wearing a thick jacket, so it didn't hurt at all if he fell.
The little guy thought it was very fun, and wanted to roll on the carpet as soon as he tilted his body, but unfortunately, he failed. King Zhennan walked up to him and hurriedly helped him stand up.
Zhennan Wang wanted to take advantage of the situation to hug Xiao Jinsun, but Xiao Xiaoyu shook his head desperately, don't hug him, he insisted on walking by himself.
The king of Zhennan had no choice but to let the baby dumpling continue to stumble forward. This time, he finally walked to the grand master's chair where the king of Zhennan was originally sitting.
"Our brother Yu has gone so well!" Zhennan Wang praised with all his praise, "In the future, he must be a martial arts wizard. In the future, grandfather will teach you how to practice martial arts, okay?"
"Ah!" Xiao Xiaoyu yelled, waving his fists, and in his grandfather's ears, this was the baby Jinsun agreed.
King Zhennan smiled with satisfaction, and hugged the little guy to his lap. He only felt that Jinsun was worthy of being the son of his Xiao family, and he was determined to inherit the demeanor of his ancestors at a young age.
After the grandparent and grandson talked and played with the duck for a while, Nangong Yue took the little guy to leave, and Xiao Rongyu also got up, saying that he was going to have a class with his husband.
Zhennan Wang reluctantly let them go, leaving only Wei Shi to talk with him.
After leaving the main courtyard, Nangong Yue and Xiao Rongyu both walked eastward, and Xiao Yu was carried by Juan Niang and walked behind them.
Nangong Yue asked casually as she walked, "Fifth sister, you have learned chess from Mr. Guan for several days, how do you feel?"
Xiao Rongyu's eyes lit up immediately, and she raised her eyes to look at Nangong Yue, and said seriously: "Sister-in-law, Mr. Guan's teaching is very deep, yesterday I played chess with my mother, and my mother also said that I am very good."
After a pause, she showed a shy look, and said again: "I used to think that Go was boring, but after listening to a few words from Mr. Fang Jue, I was enlightened and realized the fun of Go." When touched, it seemed to be coated with a faint golden light.
Hearing this, Nangong Yue raised her eyebrows with great interest.
No matter how smart this person is, if he is not interested in one thing, he will not be able to learn it well. It is commendable that this Mr. Guan can teach students according to their aptitude.
The two girls in this family admired Mr. Guan so much, and it was hard to hide their compliments. Nangong Yue felt a little interested in this life, and said to Xiao Rongyu: "Fifth sister, I will follow you to attend today. welcome?"
Xiao Rongyu was stunned, showing a cute smile, nodded hurriedly and said: "Of course you are welcome!"
Nangong Yue asked Juanniang to carry little Xiao Yu back to Bixiaotang, while she followed Xiao Rongyu to Yingxueju, which was dedicated to reading for girls.
Yingxue Residence is located on the northeast side of the inner courtyard of the palace, which is a bit remote, mainly for the sake of a quiet place for girls to study.
Guan Jinyun has arrived. Just like the previous two times when I saw her, she was dressed very cleanly, neither humble nor overbearing, and her conversation made people feel like a spring breeze.
Guan Jinyun seemed a little surprised to see Nangong Yue coming, but he quickly stepped forward to greet Nangong Yue as if nothing had happened.
Nangong Yue didn't say anything, but simply said that she was just here to listen, and she was asked to do what she wanted.
Guan Jinyun didn't hold back either, and after Xiao Rongyu burned incense and washed her hands, they started class.
The so-called class is actually playing guiding chess.
Although playing chess and teaching chess are related to each other, they are not inevitable. Playing chess well does not mean you will teach chess.
For example, Xiao Fei, she once taught Xiao Rongying how to play chess, but she only wanted to teach her all her skills, but she didn't understand that it was up to the master to lead him into the door to practice, and the knowledge that was memorized but not understood was only superficial, even today Remember, you will forget tomorrow.
This Mr. Guan is indeed a famous teacher, he followed the guidance well, explained the intention of every step he took, pointed out the pros and cons of Xiao Rongyu's every move, and occasionally gave appropriate encouragement...
Seeing Xiao Rongyu's concentration, Nangong Yue couldn't help but smile.
She didn't bother the pair of master and apprentice, and left quietly by herself after burning an incense stick.
Nangong Yue didn't notice that a pair of dark eyes behind her were staring at her leaving back for a moment, her eyes were deep, like a deep pool, as if something was churning under the deep pool, seemingly calm, In fact, the dark tide is raging.

The girls who proposed to assign Mr. Guan to Xiaobai, at least take a look at Mr. Guan's age first, they can all be Xiaobai's mother! Tears. Xiaobai's lifelong event really broke your hearts.
