Chapter 354 Error

"One hundred thousand?"

A voice with a hint of surprise sounded in the silent chamber.

Looking at the red-robed eunuch from before, Xu Yuan's eyes were a little solemn:

"My lord, this is no joke. Can the number of 100,000 be kept true?"

Wang Lingchi's tone did not waver at all:

"Natural fidelity, this information was personally transmitted by His Highness the Crown Prince. If the Third Young Master doesn't believe it, you can use the communication crystal underground in Mingxiang Garden to contact Di'an City."

Hearing this, Xu Yuan immediately smiled and shook his head:

"Don't bother communicating with Yuan Jing. After this trip, I will confirm with the people in the house."

He didn't understand the formation method. He didn't know if the communication circle in this place had a recording array for monitoring.

You must know that Lou Ji's poisonous old aunt has done this kind of monitoring in the past.

After a moment's pause,

Xu Yuan knocked on the table in front of him and glanced sideways at the woman in white next to him:

"Qing Yan, what do you think about this matter?"

Li Qingyan thought for a while, looked back and smiled, with a smile on his lips and teeth:

"How else can I watch this? Isn't this just sitting back and watching?"

Seeing the casual look of this bad woman, Xu Yuan rolled his eyes, but seeing how calm the other party was, he probably knew that there must be a gap in the other party's heart at this time, and said with a smile:

"There are 100,000 people, and you're not panicking at all?"

"Ah"

Li Qingyan chuckled lightly and did not immediately answer Xu Yuan's question. He turned to look at the red eunuch opposite and asked:

"I know this matter. What message does His Highness the Crown Prince want you to bring to me?"

The title has changed. He is addressed to His Highness the Crown Prince instead of the Royal Brother.

The slight change in the title made Wang Lingchi's eyes flash for a moment.

Although the title Prince seems a bit unfamiliar, it also recognizes the status of equal transactions between both parties.

Thinking of this, Wang Lingchi glanced at Xu Yuan standing aside.

Xu Yuan met his gaze, smiled at him, and sat carelessly, showing no intention of leaving.

Li Qingyan didn't mean to chase people away at all, he just waited quietly.

Seeing this, Wang Lingchi slowly bowed and said:

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would like to tell His Highness the Princess that the soldiers recruited by His Highness the Second Highness are all members of the sect. Her Highness the Princess is brave and good at fighting and should be a thorn in her side."

Li Qingyan nodded when he heard the words, his temperament was calm:

"You just said this."

Wang Lingchi slowly raised his lowered eyes and said in a soft voice with a hint of gloom:

"Your Highness Princess, the grudge between you and the Second Highness should be irresolvable. If he is allowed to gain power, it may be difficult to shake his position in the north.

"Although the number of one hundred thousand is high, His Highness is unfamiliar with battle formations and does not understand military affairs. Our family is willing to provide the princess with all the help we can provide."

After the words fell, the secret room was silent.

The look in Xu Yuan's eyes seemed a little playful.

The words of the eunuch in red were quite straightforward.

Now the current emperor has a vague intention to support the second prince. When he returns to the court after completing his military exploits, he will surely be in full swing.

If he is appointed to the Ninth Five-Year Plan, you Wu Yuan will not be able to escape even if they are liquidated in the future.

However, since His Highness Wu Yuan and the Third Young Master of the Prime Minister's Mansion can be assassinated, naturally the Second Prince can also be assassinated.

If something like a march were to collapse, wouldn't it be reasonable to kill a commander-in-chief and a prince suddenly?

A flash of light flashed in Li Qingyan's eyes, without rejection or agreement, he said softly:

"Li Zhaoyuan led the army into the northern border. It should be his father's wish."

As she spoke, she paused and said softly:

"But I know about this. Is there anything else?"

When he couldn't get a reply, Wang Lingchi sighed in his heart.

He remembered what the prince had said to him in the communication crystal before:

[Lingchi, my father is in his old age and his holy will is unpredictable. Although this move seems to be supporting his second brother, he may also be his abandoned son.

[You don’t need to be too eager for quick success and quick gain on this trip. With Qingyan’s temperament, it is unlikely that she will agree directly. As long as you save her life, she will be on Gu’s side sooner or later]

Thinking of this, Wang Lingchi straightened his robes and bowed deeply:

"Go back to Your Highness, there is no other matter."

"Then go down."

Li Qingyan raised a slender index finger and pointed at the door: "I still have something to discuss with Changtian here."

Wang Lingchi lowered his head and said in a soft voice:

"Your Highness Wu Yuan, our family will be here in Mingxiang Garden in the past few days. If you need anything, please let us know at any time."

"knew."

"I wish His Highness good luck in martial arts during this trip to the north."

After all,

Wang Lingchi bowed his head in accordance with court etiquette, faced Li Qingyan, took a few steps back, and then turned around and left.

"."

With the departure of the eunuch in red, Xu Yuan and Li Qingyan were the only two people left in the secret room, oh no, there was also 0.5 Luo Xiran.

Glancing at the indifferent-looking woman beside him, Xu Yuan asked softly:

"How about it, are you ready to cooperate?"

Li Qingyan lowered his eyes, gently pressed the table, and did not answer, but asked:

"Changtian, what do you think my father's actions mean?"

Xu Yuan smiled and said without thinking:

"At this juncture, there are only four meanings to doing this kind of thing."

"Four kinds?"

Li Qingyan took a deep look at Xu Yuan and smiled brightly:

"Oh, my dandy consort actually reacted like this? Can you tell me about it?"

Xu Yuan's eyes flickered for a moment and he whispered:

"First, my father really wants to support Li Zhaoyuan, but I think that his support for Li Zhaoyuan is most likely a gamble."

Li Qingyan raised his dark eyebrows and slightly opened his lubricated red lips:

"On gambling?"

Xu Yuan’s voice was soft and slow:

"Although I don't want to admit it, Li Zhaoyuan's methods in the city are second to none. If I were your father, I would be lying if I said I wasn't moved.

"But you also know that his background is not a good one. Compared with the mother of your three brothers and sisters, his mother-in-law was originally a palace maid. The difficulty for a concubine prince to be promoted to the Ninth Five-Year Plan is basically the same as that of my fourth sister. Able to take charge of the prime minister's office.

"Your eldest brother has been in charge of the country for more than ten years. He has been diligent and loyal to the people for more than ten years. Apart from the prime ministers, the princelings in the court are the most arrogant.

"The entire court has been sealed off, so Li Zhaoyuan can only find another way."

Li Qingyan leaned gently on the back of the chair behind him, and crossed his long legs under his white robe:

"So, he can only pass military power."

"right."

Xu Yuan nodded, staring at Li Qingyan's beautiful eyes that seemed to be hiding stars, as if he had something to say:

"Any regime that is not supported by weapons is empty."

Li Qingyan was unmoved at all and touched his fair and smooth chin:

"When you put it like that, it makes my eldest brother look stupid."

"No, no, no, your eldest brother is not stupid. On the contrary, he is very smart."

Xu Yuan shook his head, with a hint of humor in his tone:

"The positions we are in are completely different. Naturally, we cannot use the same method to compete for the ninth position. The prince has been supervising the country for so long and already has the political power. In addition, your third brother's royal chamber of commerce.

"Well, if we go to meet the military power today, I guess our Dayan will have to change the prince tomorrow.

"Your eldest brother doesn't need it at all. As long as no big changes happen, with his more than ten years of personal experience in government, he will naturally be able to take over when our father dies."

Speaking of this, Xu Yuan's eyes suddenly flashed:

"Li Zhaoyuan is different. If he wants to climb up, he can only rely on gambling. Your father's move may be a test for Li Zhaoyuan to put his head on.

"Within the time limit for this trip to the north, if Li Zhaoyuan has the means to completely reorganize the 100,000 troops borrowed from the Zongmeng and bring these direct descendants back to the court, then he will enter the finals of seizing the direct descendants. Inside the circle.”

Li Qingyan thought for a while and said softly:

"Changtian, there is something wrong with your guess.

"Reorganizing the army is not an easy task. The court and the sect have different structures at the grassroots level, and the military formations they build are also different. What's more, those soldiers are loyal to the sect."

"I know the difficulty."

Xu Yuan's expression remained unchanged and he just whispered: "Difficulties are difficult. Qingyan, just answer me a question. Is this method feasible?"

"."

Looking at each other for a moment,

Li Qingyan breathed out gently, and then uttered one word:

"have."

After a moment of pause, Li Qingyan lowered his eyes and thought, and whispered:

“.But it’s really hard.

"Changtian, the military is actually a place that uses collective military style to obliterate individual personalities. An army with combat effectiveness will have its own military style, whether it is comradeship, faith and loyalty, or... Interests are tied together.

"Once the military style is formed, it is difficult to change it. If Li Zhaoyuan wants to use this army from the sect for his own use, he will have to rectify the military style of the entire army."

"I can only think of two ways to do this quickly."

“First, replace all the non-commissioned officers and generals at the grassroots level with our own people. Second, have an army of the same number or even larger, split it up and organize it.

"But these two points are not possessed by Li Zhaoyuan."

After all,

Li Qingyan raised his eyes solemnly and looked at the man in front of him, but he just met the smiling eyes of the other person.

Meeting her gaze, Xu Yuan said leisurely:

"This problem is indeed difficult to solve, but we are not the ones solving it. What are you worried about?

"Qingyan,

"If Li Zhaoyuan wanted to enter Yunxiao, he would naturally have to go to hell first and then climb out step by step."

Li Qingyan pondered for a moment and asked:

"What if Li Zhaoyuan really crawled out of hell?"

Xu Yuan grinned brightly and said softly:

"Kick him back."

"."

Hearing this, Li Qingyan rolled his eyes at him:

“Virtue.

"What about Father's second intention?"

Xu Yuan spread his hands and laughed softly:

"Treat Li Zhaoyuan as an abandoned son."

Li Qingyan reacted quickly, narrowed his eyes, and whispered:

"You want to say that my father not only wants to destroy the sects in the three northern continents, but also wants to eat the elites of these two towns in the sect alliance?"

Xu Yuan leaned lazily on the back of the chair behind him, holding his chin, thoughtfully:

“One hundred thousand military formations is a huge number, but it’s actually not that many in today’s northern border.

"With your Yu Lin Army in the two towns in Guangyang Mansion, the Black Scale Army in Zong Qingsheng and Yuan Hao's towns, plus your Uncle Mu's Beifeng Army, the sect's 100,000 elites are really not too many.

"Under that blizzard and natural disaster, it is actually not impossible to be defeated by the "barbarian army"."

"Pah. Pah."

Li Qingyan chuckled, clapped, and whispered:

"Changtian, your analysis makes some sense. As for the third and fourth intentions?"

"."

Hearing this, Xu Yuan didn't speak anymore, but looked quietly at her phoenix eyes, which were as stunning as a giant's.

Looking at each other speechlessly,

Li Qingyan half-squinted her beautiful eyes:

"Changtian, do you want to say that my father's third and fourth intentions are to target your prime minister? But I don't think my father is such a short-sighted person."

It is actually self-evident what the sect wants to do by sending this number of military formations into the northern border.

They wanted to give hope to the sects in the Three Northern Continents, allowing them to resist stubbornly, and then completely destroy the Three Northern Continents, leaving the imperial court in ruins.

This layout for the northern border consumed countless manpower and material resources of the Great Yan court.

Now that the barbarians have been eliminated, the northern sects with all their elites scattered are waiting to be killed.

At this moment when we can immediately grab resources from the northern sects to restore their depleted vitality, will there be an internal fight between the royal family and the prime minister's government?

This is a complete failure.

If the Black Scale Army clashes with the Royal Army, the Clan Alliance will definitely succeed.

"."

Seeing that the other party said it directly, Xu Yuan sat up straight and said with a smile:

"It's just a guess,

"Borrowing the sword of the sect to kill the people in my prime minister's house, and then abandoning a prince who should have died as an explanation, putting the blame on Li Zhaoyuan and the sect alliance, which not only consumes the strength of the sect, but also makes me The Prime Minister's Mansion has lost its manpower."

As he spoke, Xu Yuan began to clasp his fingers:

“And that’s one of the benefits of just doing it.

"After the conflagration between the Zongmeng and my Prime Minister's Mansion, the threat of the Zongmeng in the northern border disappeared, and the sect's inventory in the three northern continents became the possession of the imperial court.

"And our prime minister's office in the Black Scale Army in the North will definitely suffer damage after this battle. If the troops are insufficient, the number of resources that can receive the sects in the north will naturally decrease. One will go down and the other will go up. There will be less in our prime minister's office. Your royal family will naturally have more resources."

"Changtian, all your guesses are based on Xu Xiang's tolerance."

At this point, Li Qingyan suddenly interrupted Xu Yuan and lowered his tone: "If my father does this, what will happen if Mr. Xu rebels?"

"."

Xu Yuan narrowed his eyes.

Having said that, he no longer had any scruples and chuckled, but it was a bit ironic:

"It's impossible for my father to rebel. Your father knew that it was impossible for my father to rebel at this time, so he did this."

Maybe the emperor forgot his ideals back then, but the father did not.

If you fight, there will be no hope of realizing your ideal.

Ren, after you die and I integrate the forces of the imperial court, the number of days will be uncertain.

Therefore, the father would never choose to fight.

Thinking about it, Xu Yuan stared at the woman in front of him with burning eyes:

"Qing Yan, you should also know that your father's time is probably running out. As an emperor with ambitions to rejuvenate, he must make some considerations for your Great Yan royal family before he dies. At least he cannot let Great Yan The royal family will end with his generation, oh no, with the generation below him.

"For this, he can do anything, because this is his responsibility as a member of the Li Tian family."

"."

The words fell silent,

She looked at him.

a long time.

"responsibility?"

She murmured with a smile, then slowly stood up and walked towards the door, her steps were light and her voice was low:

"Maybe, but before the sect is destroyed, as long as I am alive for a day, I will never sit back and watch the internal fighting in the court."

Xu Yuan looked at the back of the white-clothed figure and half-squinted his eyes:

"What if your father insists on doing this?"

"clatter"

Her footsteps paused, and the pale inscription light in the room shone on her washless white robe.

There was silence for a while,

With a chuckle, Li Qingyan slowly looked back at him, his tone was indifferent, slow and gentle:

"Then it will be up to me to correct his mistakes."
