In the study room.
Xue Yun took out the fine tea leaves and personally brewed a pot of hot fragrant tea for Hu Kui.
The two of them sat on the sofa, and within a short while, the entire room was filled with the strong aroma of tea.
"Say it."
Taking advantage of the situation, he placed the teacup in front of Hu Kui.
Xue Yun looked calm and said straight to the point: "Why did you suddenly come to me today?"
"Well......"
He pondered for a moment.
I never expected Xue Yun to be so direct.
Hu Kui played with the warm tea cup and said with a wry smile on his face: "If I said it was just for a meal, would you believe it?"
"I believe you ghost!"
Cross your legs.
Xue Yun drooped his eyelids and immediately complained: "Will the majestic Lord of Longdu City live so low that he can't even get a meal? Is it because the cooks in the City Lord's Mansion are on strike, or is Sister Hua disdainful of your middle-aged weight gain and deliberately restricted you?" Food?"
"Fuck your brother-in-law, you've only gained weight in middle age!"
He sipped the tea with a smile on his face.
Hu Kui sighed lightly, and when the conversation changed, his tone became serious.
"Three days ago, I received information from Dog City, saying that the 'Aisha Principality' outside the northern border seems to be showing signs of moving again."
As soon as these words came out.
The atmosphere in the entire study suddenly became inexplicably solemn.
Close your eyes.
Xue Yun looked at the warm tea in front of him and fell into a long silence.
The world is in chaos and war is raging.
As the largest human civilization in the world, how could the Daxia Empire stay aloof for a long time?
When an avalanche comes, no snowflake is innocent, and similarly, no living being can survive the mess.
"I believe you know that too."
He glanced at Xue Yun deeply.
Hu Kui continued: "There was a coup in the country of these beasts. The previous emperor of the principality was assassinated. The new emperor had just ascended the throne. Before he had time to settle his own domestic affairs, he even coveted the people on our northern border. territory."
"A wolf's ambition will never die if he wants to destroy me..."
He took a sip of tea.
Hu Kui smiled bitterly and said: "The situation in Dog City is too bad. The Zhongli family has just begun the reconstruction work. Both resources and population reserves are very problematic. Relying on them to do defense work unilaterally is simply a drop in the bucket. "
He was once beaten to the point of losing his armor by the "Aisha Principality".
Today's Dog City is in dire straits, and the reconstruction work of the fortress city has not yet been completed, but the enemies outside the border have a tendency to come back again.
As Hu Kui said.
Relying on Zhongli Mei to fight alone, it is impossible to be the opponent of the enemy.
In the end, it will only fall again and millions of Daxia people will be displaced again.
"What do other people say?"
He reached out and filled Hu Kui's cup with tea.
Xue Yun said coldly: "The Great Xia Empire is not just a fortress city like ours, Longdu. Don't the other princes and city lords understand the truth that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold? It's time for them to join in and contribute, right?"
"Already discussed it with them."
Light a cigarette and blow out a wisp of smoke.
Hu Kui said in a deep voice: "Everyone agrees that instead of passively waiting for others to knock on the door, it is better to take the initiative and completely nip the idea of invading Daxia by these animals in the cradle."
Hear the words.
Xue Yun couldn't help but was slightly startled. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "What is the specific plan?"
"It's simple..."
His expression remained unchanged throughout the process.
Hu Kui said categorically: "Go abroad to fight, beheading!"
Seeing Xue Yun was a little stunned.
Hu Kui calmly put out the cigarette butt in his hand, then took out a wrinkled photo from his arms, placed it on the table, and slowly pushed it in front of Xue Yun.
"This guy is..."
Frowning.
Xue Yun took a closer look and saw that the man in the photo had blond hair and blue eyes. His bloated figure and lazy expression gave off an extremely decadent atmosphere from the inside out.
"He is the Minister of Defense of the 'Aisha Principality' and the mastermind of this coup. He is also the most trusted minister of the new king..."
The gaze is extremely profound.
Hu Kui introduced in a deep voice: "I am sending Duke Sergeyev, nicknamed the 'Sleeping Lion'!"
"'Sleeping Lion'?"
He raised his eyebrows.
Xue Yun picked up the photo on the table and couldn't help but repeat this ridiculous-sounding title.
"Yes, this guy has extraordinary strength, but his temperament is extremely lazy. He often looks like he has not woken up. In short, he is extremely miserable in his behavior."
He smiled bitterly.
Hu Kui said helplessly: "But the problem is, once this guy makes up his mind to do something, he becomes a different person. Not only does he act vigorously and resolutely, but his methods are also extremely cruel."
A person lives up to his name.
Continuing to look at the man in the photo, Xue Yun narrowed his eyes and suddenly had an illusion of déjà vu.
"This time, the person who proposed to the new king of the 'Aisha Principality' to invade Daxia again is this damn beast."
A heavy murderous intention flashed between his eyebrows.
Hu Kui secretly gritted his teeth and said: "Intelligence shows that Sergei intends to gather an army of 300,000 to launch a full-scale war against our Great Xia Empire, so as to wash away the shame of previous defeat."
"Moreover, he will personally lead the troops on an expedition, which has the potential to completely annex our Daxia..."
Take a deep breath.
Hu Kui's tone was solemn and he said solemnly: "So, in order to prevent the war from spreading to the country, after everyone's discussion, we decided to strike first and send a powerful combat team to sneak into the "Aisha Principality" In our territory, carry out an assassination mission against Sergei, the damned culprit!"
Frowning slightly.
Xue Yun was speechless for a moment.
Traveling thousands of miles deep into the territory of another country to assassinate a powerful duke? !
This is simply a life-threatening gamble!
"As long as he dies, the newly-promoted king will definitely lose his position. I am afraid that even the domestic situation will not be stable, and how will he have the energy to attack us..."
He smiled coldly.
Hu Kui vowed: "This is the only way to keep the war out of Daxia!"
Hit the snake seven inches to catch the thief and the king.
Having just experienced an unprecedented coup, the current situation in the "Aisha Principality" is actually not stable.
As long as the source of the war can be solved, I believe that the "Aisha Principality" will immediately be able to take care of itself and will no longer pose any threat to the Great Xia Empire.
Sighed softly.
Xue Yun asked calmly: "So, what do you want me to do?"
"This mission is very dangerous. After many discussions, the alliance of princes decided that each fortress city would send a master to form this assassination team."
There was silence for a while.
Hu Kui's eyes were bright and he said in a deep voice: "I hope you can represent Longdu and serve as the commander of this team!"
