Chapter 565

In the vast palace city, there are several monarchs and ministers in the imperial study.

Hai Wuji, who was meticulous in hair and clothes, had a cold expression on his face, and stood with his hands behind his back, facing the ministers with his back to the desk.

Jinzhou suddenly took the initiative to disclose the news of Hai Ruyue's poisoning, which really caught the side by surprise. They felt that Wandong Tianfu was unlikely to do so, and they were thinking about Jinzhou's intentions together.

"The Empress Dowager is here!" The eunuch guarding the door suddenly shouted in a shrill voice, as if to remind the people inside.

The officials turned to look at the door, and a graceful and luxurious old lady appeared at the door. Although she was old, her richness could faintly reveal the beauty of her youth. She was the empress dowager Shang Youlan of Zhao Guo.

"See the Queen Mother!" All the officials bowed to salute.

"Mother's queen!" Hai Wuji quickly stepped forward to the door, and respectfully supported his mother's arm to enter.

"Didn't bother you to discuss state affairs?" Shang Youlan asked.

Hai Wuji smiled and said, "It's okay."

"That's good." Shang Youlan nodded, glanced at everyone, and said in a slow tone with undisguised dignity, "The Ai family has something to say with the emperor, everyone retreat first."

Mothers are more valuable than children, and at this moment it is obvious.

Hai Wuji also immediately waved to everyone, showing a very filial piety.

"Yes!" The ministers bowed to accept the order, retreated one after another, and went out.

An old eunuch with gray hair and hunched back, with cloudy eyes, seemed to be too old to walk, and was also walking outside.

This person is none other than Zhuge Chi, the chief executive.

Shang Youlan yelled at him, "Old Zhuge, I didn't let you go, I have something to ask you to comment on."

Zhuge Chi stopped and looked up at Hai Wuji's reaction.

Hai Wuji smiled and said: "Mother, why are you criticizing and not commenting, who made you angry again?"

A sullen look suddenly appeared on Shang Youlan's face, "How long are you going to keep it from me?"

Hai Wuji realized that something was wrong, but pretended to be surprised, "Why did the queen mother say such a thing?"

Shang Youlan said angrily: "Let me ask you, did you do the poisoning of Ruyue?"

Hai Wuji's face darkened slightly, and he was annoyed in his heart. He had deliberately concealed it from his mother, and he didn't know who couldn't control his mouth. Don't let him find out later.

He defended himself forcefully: "Where did the queen mother hear the rumors?"

Shang Youlan shook her head in disappointment, "I thought it was strange to ask me for things from Ruyue's childhood before. You still want to lie to me? I'm not old-fashioned yet! He's your only biological sister, how can you bear it?" Under such a murderous hand?"

With a cold face, Hai Wuji held back for a while before he said slowly, "Queen Mother, I have my own difficulties."

"Difficulties? I know your difficulties." Shang Youlan patted her chest, feeling agitated, "I understand that you rule the world and take care of everyone. If you want to force your sister's family to be ruined, I will turn a blind eye and close my eyes." Zhiyan, if you want to seize Jinzhou, you can do it, but why do you have to put her to death and leave her alone?"

"Are you willing to let her die? When Yan Guo was a hostage, you pushed her out to please others in order to protect yourself. Do you think I don't know? I know it all. I just don't say it. She suffered for you." How much humiliation did you suffer? If it wasn't for my nephew, Shang Jianbo, who protected her... After you returned to China and became the throne, in order to stabilize Xiao Huang, you forced her to marry Xiao Huang's sick son. Have you ever thought about how miserable she is? ?”

"You pushed her to this day with one hand, and now you think she is in the way, and you are doing this to her, how did you do it! How do you let the world think of me as a mother, how do you let the world think of you Is it not enough to just give her a way to survive?"

Hai Wuji was so annoyed by being scolded that he couldn't help himself, and said in a deep voice: "Mother, you should know the word 'helpless' in your heart better than anyone else! The pattern is deliberately created by some people, which is to let people in the world consume each other! For all countries, the situation is like sailing against the current. If you don’t advance, you will retreat. Keep getting stronger, only when you are strong enough can you resist enough risks. Queen Mother, Zhao Guo has no way out! Son has no way out!"

With a wave of his arm, he pointed to the ground behind him, and his last words rang loudly.

...

In Yingwu Hall, in front of the hanging map, Meng Shanming and Shang Chaozong, who were in wheelchairs, pointed to the map for discussion.

Meng Shanming sat in a low posture, holding a stick in his hand to point on the map.

It's hard to hide this place when we first came to Dachan Mountain, and we have already informed Ga Miaoshui about his visit. And there are no deaf and blind people in the country of Yan. The imperial court has already begun to mobilize supplies and troops. In addition, Fang Zhe from Jinzhou informed in advance that Hai Ruyue was poisoned.

How can we not know that the storm is coming, and quickly respond.

From time to time, heralds came in and out of the Yingwu Hall to convey the situation of the mobilization of troops from various places.

Lan Ruoting walked in quickly, and when the herald in the hall retreated, he informed: "My lord, Meng Shuai, the Daoist replied, let us not panic, saying that Hai Ruyue's poisoning was made public by Wandong Tianfu. Let us ignore this matter, Nanzhou can deal with it as it should, and the people and horses should be prepared for contingencies, he will sit in Jinzhou, and will notify this side in time if there is any situation."

Meng Shanming nodded: "It's good that Master Dao knows it well."

...

"Hai Ruyue is poisoned at this time?"

In the main hall of Dachan Mountain, Huang Lie stared at the newly cast statue of Patriarch on the throne and muttered to himself.

Several elders behind them took turns to check the secret letter, each with serious expressions.

Someone said: "It seems that Yan Ting and Zhao Ting planned it in advance. They want to join forces to deal with both sides at the same time. Nanzhou is in danger!"

Huang Lie turned around: "Niu Youdao hasn't replied yet?"

A disciple said: "Three letters have been sent, and so far, there has been no reply. The news from Qingshan County said that there is nothing unusual in the Maolu Villa, and the people of the three factions have not seen any abnormal movements. .”

Huang Lie frowned: "What does that guy mean?"

An elder said: "Master, the storm is coming, do you want to reply from Ga Miaoshui?"

Huang Lie waved his hand and said: "You have also seen that guy's previous methods. He is not a vegetarian. I don't believe that guy can sit still and wait for death. He must react. Let's see how he responds. It's not okay to wait until the army is overwhelming. It's too late. It's time for us people to move around, go to Fucheng to sit in town, and deal with it at any time."

...

A house in Jinzhou Fucheng is also the foothold of Nanzhou here.

Chao Shenghuai was tied to a beam and pillar in a room, lowering his head and sighing from time to time.

The door creaked open, Zhu Laoba came in, brought food in, and put it on the table beside him, "Brother Chao, let's eat something."

Chao Shenghuai shook his head, "Don't eat!"

Zhu Laoba, who was about to untie him, smiled, "Drink some water?"

Chao Shenghuai: "Don't drink! Where is this place? I want to see Niu Youdao."

As soon as he arrived in Qingshan County, Niu Youdao didn't see him, and he couldn't leave, so he was restrained on the spot and brought here.

He didn't know where it was, it was brought on by the drowsiness, as a person who lived in the mountains for a long time, he felt that the freshness of the surrounding air was not in the mountains, but in some city.

Zhu Laoba: "Master Dao is very busy now. I don't have time to see you. I will see you when I have time. Why are you so anxious? Eat something, your cultivation base has not yet reached the legendary realm of becoming a saint and transcending the womb. Don't follow me!" It’s not worth it if you can’t make it through your body and starve.”

Chao Sheng was furious, "How can I give Niu Youdao a good word and let Niu Youdao come to see me, otherwise everyone will have a hard time!"

"Shh!" Zhu Laoba raised his index finger in front of his mouth, "brother, it's agreed, don't make a lot of noise, otherwise you will become a boring gourd later, and you will feel uncomfortable again."

...

"Old man, try it!"

Gao Shaoming, the envoy of Yan at the banquet, slapped the table and stood up, pointing at Tu Huaiyu, envoy of Song Dynasty, and angrily reprimanded him.

During the night banquet in the Liufang Pavilion, honored guests from all over the world were entertained, someone suddenly came from the courtyard of Yan Kingdom, and whispered to Gao Shaoming, saying that they found that the people from the Song Dynasty wanted to rob their messenger golden wings.

So under questioning, the two sides began to fight each other at the banquet. It happened that the banquet was held at the place where Niu Youdao killed Song Long, the envoy of Yan.

The attendant mages outside the pavilions on both sides rushed in immediately.

boom! Li Wuhua also slapped the table and stood up, and said in a deep voice, "What do you two mean? Is it just a display for me to be in Wandong Tianfu? I want to fight after I get out of Jinzhou, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"

Li Wuhua's complexion was also not good-looking, and the haggard look on her face could not be concealed.

Letting him appear like this is also because of his status. In this Jinzhou capital city, he is the most suitable person to replace Hai Ruyue to entertain distinguished guests.

"Gao Envoy, don't forget that this is my country of Zhao, you'd better restrain yourself."

Zhao Sen, who was present here, poked coldly, but he was actually making a point, don't make trouble at this time, especially Song Guo.

Gao Shaoming glanced at it, snorted coldly, waved his hand to signal the follower mage to step back, and sat down slowly himself

The rest of the people here also have their own plans, and they all know that the Golden State may not be peaceful for a long time, and a wild rainstorm is about to hit.

Sui Pai, envoy of Wei, and Zuo An, envoy of Qi, warned Zhao Sen during the banquet. The meaning in the words was also to warn Zhao Guo not to act recklessly, otherwise the two countries would not sit idly by.

The Jin envoy Chu Xiangyu, who has always been strong, is acting like a peacemaker today, raising his glass from time to time to persuade everyone to calm down.

As for the Han envoy Zhuge Xun, he was basically sitting there, eating and drinking happily, but his eyes looked left and right from time to time, as if he was watching a show from the sidelines.

Of course, everyone couldn't avoid asking Li Wuhua, how is Hai Ruyue's body?

Li Wuhua has no comment.

As soon as the banquet was over, Li Wuhua went straight to the governor's mansion, and when she arrived at Hai Ruyue's sick bed, she saw Hai Ruyue who was pale and haggard on the bed, and couldn't bear to look any longer, turned her head and left.

After coming out, he went to his son's room again, and first thanked his fellow disciples for their hard work, and only glanced at his sleeping son with a bluish complexion, and couldn't help but burst into tears, muttering to himself, "What crime did I do?" ah!"

He knew that his son couldn't hold on for a few more days, and it was just a matter of these few days.

...

In the early morning of the next day, there was a commotion in the governor's mansion, and many disciples of Wandong Tianfu flew to the roof, watching out for a bird hovering in the sky.

Standing on the bird was a man in white clothes like snow. He had a handsome face, fair skin, and a calm and calm expression, with a bamboo basket on his back, looking down at the mansion below.
