The changes in Shiwandashan made the Chu Dynasty exhausted mentally and physically.
Not to mention Xu Qing and the Northern Territory Army are not in the Northern Territory. Even if the Northern Territory Army is still there, what's the use?
Facing the tenth-grade Grandmaster Cang Biejie, what can Xu Qing and the Northern Army do?
Xiao Jingyao summoned Kyoto as quickly as possible.
The Chu Dynasty was besieged on all sides.
Xiang Ji in Nanzhou Prefecture, Anmo Mountain in West Mo Prefecture, Cang Biejie in the Hundred Thousand Mountains in the North... There are also night ghosts watching in the dark.
All this chaos broke out within a few months.
In the Chengming Hall of the Imperial Palace, a long-bright lamp was burning, and the candlelight flickered, reflecting several figures on the wall.
When the wind blows, the shadows sway like crazy demons.
Apart from Xiao Yuande and Qiu Jinfeng, there were only a few eunuchs serving in the palace.
In the end, Xiao Yuande trusted Qiu Jinfeng the most.
"Teacher, what should I do?"
Xiao Yuande did not call himself "I" at this moment. He called himself a student just like he was taught by Qiu Jinfeng many years ago.
Xiao Yuande was originally a student of Qiu Jinfeng.
The prince and prince back then were also students of Qiu Jinfeng.
There were fires everywhere in Da Chu, and its troops were stretched thin.
It's not that Xiao Yuande didn't expect all this, but it happened too quickly, without giving Xiao Yuande time to react.
Qiu Jinfeng said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. With Xu Qing in Yangzhou Mansion, we can resist Xiang Ji's rebels without asking for a counterattack."
"The Anmo Mountain in West Mo Prefecture is nothing to worry about. Besides, King Qingcheng is here and there are troops from Beidou Camp. It is only a matter of time before West Mo Prefecture is pacified."
"As for the Hundred Thousand Mountains..."
Qiu Jinfeng paused, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "Although Cang Bieli has become a master of Taoism, Cangshan massacred so many sects in Shiwandashan, and Shenyin Pavilion, Duandaomen, and Baiyan Valley all fled. One hundred thousand mountains.”
"I believe that after Li Haomiao appears, he will seek revenge on Cang Biere."
Xiao Yuande sighed after hearing this, and seemed to feel much relieved.
"The teacher is far-sighted."
Qiu Jinfeng cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty is tired. The authorities are confused, but the onlookers are clear. The old minister is at home, with no external interference, and his old eyes are dim, but he can still see many things clearly."
Xiao Yuande glanced at Qiu Jinfeng and laughed.
It has to be said that Xiao Yuande has never had any airs, he is kind by nature, but he can also make decisions on the spot.
Since taking office, there has been peace.
The only thing he did wrong was raising tigers, which allowed Xiang Ji to develop for twenty years.
Suddenly, Xiao Yuande asked: "Is Miss Su from Yu Zhi still in Kyoto?"
Qiu Jinfeng's cloudy eyes flashed with a trace of light.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Miss Su is still in Kyoto."
Xiao Yuande said: "Yu Zhi worked hard in the north. Let's give the gift to that girl Su."
Qiu Jinfeng responded, naturally knowing what Xiao Yuande meant.
"By the way, that girl Ruoruo has also reached the age of marriage. Teacher, what do you think of my fifth child?"
The fifth prince is also considered to be outstanding among the princes, and his martial arts and martial arts are all excellent.
But with the presence of the crown prince and the third prince, he had no hope of seizing the throne.
Qiu Jinfeng said bravely: "Ruoruo's marriage... Ruoruo is still young..."
"Not too young." Xiao Yuande said with a smile, "Isn't it possible that a princess as old as Ruoruo will be married to a consort? The teacher should go back and think about this marriage carefully. I hope that I can get married to the teacher."
A trace of cold sweat broke out on Qiu Jinfeng's forehead.
This is the emperor.
I'll put down my airs and talk to you about everyday things.
It's time to hit it in the blink of an eye.
At the beginning, Qiu Jinfeng told Yu Zhi that it was best for Su Muchi to stay in Kyoto.
Why stay in Kyoto?
Just to make Xiao Yuande feel at ease.
Now Xiao Yuande has granted a marriage to the fifth prince to Qiu Ruoruo.
This purpose is self-evident, which is to firmly tie the Qiu family to the Da Chu royal family.
With the relationship between Yu Zhi and Qiu Ruoruo, Beidou Camp would naturally not attack the Da Chu royal family.
After walking out of the palace, Qiu Jinfeng held the carriage, and all his strength seemed to be drained away.
Qiu Jinfeng rested for a long time, and his sweat became extremely cold in the cold wind.
He finally looked back at the brightly lit Chengming Hall with complicated eyes.
"The most ruthless emperor's family." Qiu Jinfeng sighed quietly.
...
A few days later, a King Lingkui appeared in the thousands of miles of ice fields in the far north.
Lingkui takes the lead, while Night Ghost rushes into the formation.
The Six Tribes of the Grassland were hit hard by the Lingkui tribe.
That Lingkui King defeated the Holy Envoy on the Holy Mountain of the Grassland, and originally wanted to destroy the Six Tribes of the Grassland.
Unexpectedly, a powerful master would appear and block King Lingkui.
Despite this, the menacing night ghosts continue to penetrate deep into the grassland and have already set up camp on the grassland.
The figures of the Lingkui people appeared, massacred on the grassland, and then set up camp.
The six grassland tribes also withdrew from the defense line of the Thousand Miles Icefield and moved towards the south.
The Prairie Wolf Court sent a document, hoping that the people of the prairie could enter the territory of Dachu to spend the cold winter.
The cold winter has always been a disaster for Steppenwolf Court.
The endless wind and snow left many people without food sources and starving. They could only freeze to death and starve to death.
In the past, autumn and winter were also the most dangerous times in the north.
The wolf cavalry on the grassland often disturbed the border, plundered the people of Chu, and robbed grain and grass.
This year, the two sides concluded a peace treaty, but when Night Ghost was born, Steppe Wolf Court suffered heavy losses and had no extra choice.
Going south is Prairie Wolf Court's way of survival.
"Nuomin, will the Emperor of Dachu agree to our request?" Tiemurong said worriedly.
Nuo Min stared at the distant Beiliang City. That huge city was built to resist the invasion of the Steppe Wolf Court.
"Aha. Regardless of whether the Emperor of Chu agrees or not, we must go south for the people of the grassland."
At this time, heavy snow was flying on the grassland, and the goose-feather-like snow enveloped the entire grassland.
The cost of fighting the night ghosts left Steppenwolf Ting unable to make ends meet.
The remaining food and grass are not enough to survive this cold winter.
"The Northern Border Army is in Yangzhou Mansion, and the border defenses in Beiliang City are empty. This is our perfect opportunity."
Nuo Min's eyes were firm. She couldn't bear to start a war, let alone watch the grassland people die.
"Aha, this is a life-and-death war."
The grassland has to face the night ghosts on the thousands of miles of ice fields. Even if they fight all the prairie wolf riders, they will not be the opponents of the night ghosts.
What's more, the Holy Envoy of the Holy Mountain has been defeated.
Temurong looked at the woman beside him, his eyes gradually becoming firmer.
In a time of life and death, his younger sister is the calmest person.
If Nuo Min hadn't been born as a girl, Nuo Min would have taken the sweaty position.
Da Chu’s reply was quick.
Then the soldiers and horses of the six grassland tribes stood under the wall of Beiliang City.
The soldiers and horses, which had been tempered by the frost from thousands of miles of snowfields, pointed the scimitar in their hands to the south.
Without the Northern Border Army, the city of the Northern Territory was defeated in two days.
After decades, the prairie wolf court's cavalry once again broke through the northern defense line and occupied the territory of Da Chu.
...
Yu Zhi and Li Wantong traveled together, like newlyweds, visiting mountains and rivers.
What happened in the north also reached Yu Zhi's ears.
But what does this have to do with Yu Zhi?
The country belongs to him, Xiao Yuande, and Yu Zhi doesn't want it.
If night ghosts invade, Yu Zhi will do his part, but the internal fighting among the human race has nothing to do with Yu Zhi.
"Tong'er, we will arrive in Kyoto tomorrow." Yu Zhi said.
Li Wantong was wearing a snow-white velvet robe and holding Yu Zhi's arm.
"Yes. I really want to meet Miss Su."
Yu Zhi was still a little worried. If these two get into a fight, who should I help?
"Tong'er, you and Mu Ci..."
Li Wantong looked at Yu Zhi who looked sad, smiled empathetically, and said, "I said, if you marry Miss Su, you won't break your promise. You should give people a name."
Li Wantong already has some aura of being a matron.
Yu Zhi nodded subconsciously and cursed secretly: What a playboy.
Li Wantong continued: "Returning to Kyoto is not just to see Miss Su. Last time, you didn't go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to propose marriage, so this time you come back with me to see grandpa."
"Besides, Chen'er is getting married. I haven't had time to congratulate you yet. I want to prepare some congratulatory gifts."
Yu Zhi echoed: "It's all up to you. As for the marriage proposal, since my aunt is not in Kyoto, I will let Grandpa Qiu do it for me."
Li Wantong held Yu Zhi's hand tightly and said, "Okay."
At the gate of Kyoto, winter has arrived, and flakes of snow are floating under the slightly cold sunshine.
The snow is not too heavy, but there are still pedestrians and vendors shouting on the road.
Yu Zhi held an umbrella and led Li Wantong, first to Su Muchi's small courtyard.
In the small courtyard, Tuantuan, wearing red velvet clothes, was running quickly in the yard, like a butterfly flying in the snow.
There is not much snow in Nanzhou Prefecture, but children love to play in the snow.
"Tuantuan." Yu Zhi stood in front of the door and shouted.
Tuantuan turned around and saw that he was running towards Yu Zhi. As he ran, he shouted: "Sister Su, Brother Yu is back, Brother Yu is back."
Su Muci ran out of the room in a hurry.
When he saw Yu Zhi, the love in his eyes could not be hidden.
But when she met Li Wantong next to Yu Zhi, Su Muchi lowered her head, slowed down, and just stood in front of the door.
Miss Li...why is she here?
To say who Su Muci was most afraid of meeting, it would be Li Wantong.
That inexplicable emotion made Su Muchi avoid Li Wantong's eyes.
What to do? His wife came to the door.
Su Muchi clearly knew that she was already engaged, but you still interfered.
You are so shameless.
Li Wantong stepped forward, walked to Su Muchi, and said, "Miss Su, let's go in and talk."
"Ah?" Su Muchi looked at Yu Zhi for help, but saw Yu Zhi smiling encouragingly.
Squeak!
The door was closed, shutting out Yu Zhi and Tuantuan.
Tuantuan asked curiously: "Brother Yu, who is that sister?"
"Who is she? You can call her Sister Li, and she will buy you sweets." Yu Zhi hugged Tuantuan and said dotingly.
Outside the door, two figures, one large and one small, were pressing against the door, wanting to hear what was going on inside.
Tuantuan blinked his big black eyes and said: "Brother Yu, the teacher at the private school said, don't listen to anything inappropriate. It's not good for you to eavesdrop on others like this."
"Shh. Listen well. If you hear it, I'll buy you some candied haws." Yu Zhi said.
"But sir, he said..."
"Two bunches of candied haws..."
"Sister Su will be angry if you do this."
"Five skewers! Plus a big candy man."
"Pull the hook! Don't lie!"
Tuantuan stretched out his short little finger...
