The next morning, the wind and snow were still there.
While Li Ye was still practicing his sword in the garden, Nalan Yuzhong, Jiang Huo and the others came to the Imperial Master's Mansion.
Looking at Li Ye practicing his sword in the garden, Nalan Yu did not disturb him, but took Jiang Huo to light a fire and make tea in the flower hall at the invitation of the housekeeper, waiting for Li Ye to finish practicing his sword.
Jiang Huo sat opposite Nalan Yu and asked, "What kind of swordsmanship are you practicing, Master National Master, without even a trace of true energy floating around?"
Nalan Yu smiled and said: "How did I know? He has been practicing since Tianshan Mountain. I also heard it from Mu Mu."
Jiang Huo shook his head and sighed: "I can't understand!"
"I understand, you are the national master!" Nalan Yu said with a smile.
"Have the people who are going to block the Northern and Western Regions already set off?" Nalan Yu looked at him and continued to ask.
"We set off early in the morning. We should meet him today, right?" Jiang Huo replied.
"It's a pity that we won't be able to see the Emperor's enthronement ceremony. We have to ask the Imperial Master and the Emperor to treat us to drinks when we return." Nalan Yu thought about facing Beihai's 50,000-strong army and sighed without confidence.
After finishing his sword practice, Li Ye walked into the flower hall, looked at the two people sitting at the table making tea, and said with a smile: "You're here just in time, let's take a look."
"Is there a way?" Nalan immediately became energetic after hearing this.
Li Ye looked at his excited look, shook his head, and sighed: "Brother, can you be more steady? I still expect you to take over the position of national preceptor in the future?"
Nalan Yu stared at him and shook his head desperately: "Don't even think about it!"
"Then, let's get down to business..." After spending half an hour, Li Ye, Nalan Yu and Jiang Huobo carefully deduced the situation they were going to face, and after confirming that there was no problem , and then stopped.
"I will ask Xiao Qing to help you. Prepare for the day today and set off tomorrow. I estimate that you will have to spend the night on the road and bring cold-proof items."
After thinking about it, Li Ye decided to let Xiao Qing go with him. As long as Xiao Qing transforms into a blue bird, he can send messages to Jiang Huo at any time.
Nalan Yu and Jiang Huo nodded, agreeing with Li Ye's decision.
When they were about to send the two of them out to the front door of the Imperial Preceptor, Li Ye stopped Nalan Yu again and whispered to him: "Come pick up Xiaoqing tomorrow morning. If there is no fight, don't reveal her identity." , remember!”
Nalanyu was stunned, nodded and replied, "I understand."
Waving his hand, Li Ye turned around and walked towards the house.
"Well, why don't you go for a walk in the palace?" Nalan Yu couldn't help but ask as he looked at Li Ye who was about to walk through the door.
"With the dean, the left prime minister, and you all here, why should I join in the fun?" Li Ye thought to himself. I finally calmed down. I don't want to worry about those things.
Nalan Yu wanted to say something more, but the housekeeper and his servants had already closed the door.
Jiang Huo looked at Nalan Yu in surprise and said, "Does the Imperial Master really not want to take care of things anymore?"
Nalan Yu nodded and said with a wry smile: "He didn't want to take care of it in the first place. When he went to Southern Xinjiang, the emperor forced him to do nothing. It was me who went to Fangcun Mountain to pick him up."
Braving the wind and snow, the two turned and left.
...
"Brother Nalan, how do you know that guy Li Ye?" Riding on the horse, Xiaoqing followed Nalan Yu and Jiang Huo with an army of 50,000 people. They had been walking in the wind and snow for two days and had entered Beixuan. area.
"On the way back from Dongxuan Territory to Central Territory." Nalan Yu laughed as he thought about the first time he met Li Ye.
"I didn't expect you to meet that guy." Xiao Qing couldn't help laughing as she thought about the first time she met Li Ye.
"Report to the general, the Beihai army has been spotted ten miles ahead!" While they were chatting, news came from the secret sentry scouting the road ahead.
"There is only ten miles, they will be here soon." Jiang Huo looked at Nalan Yu and said.
"Please Jiang Shuai, please lead the army back a mile. I will walk forward a mile. Xiaoqing will come back to inform you if there is a battle situation." Nalan Yu looked at Jiang Huo and said.
"Be careful!" Jiang Huo glanced at a dozen black-clothed guards dressed as peasants. These were sent by the eldest prince and Li Ye to protect Xiao Qing and Nalan Yu.
"Everyone, cheer up. If we finish everything today, we can still rush back to attend the emperor's coronation ceremony."
Jiang Huo commanded the 50,000-strong army to evacuate, while Nalan Yu, Xiao Qing and a dozen personal guards continued to move forward...
"I really don't understand how that guy came up with this method to retreat from the enemy and fight. Don't you think it's a waste, Brother Nalan?" Xiao Qing, who was riding a horse, looked at Nalan Yu and asked.
"The Imperial Master said that this method can work." As for Li Ye's method, Nalan Yu was actually unfaithful.
...
While talking.
The outpost of the Beihai Army led dozens of people to stop in front of the two of them. They looked at the group of people and asked, "Where did you come from? How dare you block the official road?"
At this time, Xiao Qing had already transformed into a blue bird and was hiding behind dozens of guards.
Nalanyu stepped forward, stopped Beihai's outpost, and shouted loudly: "The envoys of the Five Regions Dynasty are here, requesting an interview with the commander-in-chief!"
When the Beihai outpost soldiers heard that they were envoys from the imperial dynasty, they did not dare to be careless and immediately led Nalan Yu back.
Before going half a mile, they met the Beihai army head-on, and the outpost soldiers reported to the Chinese army.
The generals leading the team were Luo Cheng from Miracle Island in the North Sea, Duanmu Feilong from Dragon Island, and they were accompanied by Linghu Zhen, the envoy sent by the second prince.
Linghu was really shocked and thought, Not good! Why would the emperor send envoys again and welcome them from afar?
Luo Cheng ignored him, looked at the soldiers and said, "Let's see what his purpose is first and let the envoys come."
The sentry led Nalanyu, who was wearing armor, and looked at the three people in front of him, and bowed calmly.
Then he cleared his voice and said, "My name is Nalan Yu. Our emperor knew that the Beihai Army was coming, so he sent me a meager gift to express our condolences to the Beihai Army."
As he spoke, he pointed to the one hundred fat cows and eight hundred sheep behind him.
Linghu was really stunned, then stepped forward and said, "General Nalan, who is the emperor you are talking about?"
Nalanyu glanced at him and said loudly: "His Majesty the Five Regions Dynasty is scheduled to enthrone in the Imperial City of Vientiane two days later. He has already announced to the world that your army is very fast. My king is in a hurry and is busy preparing for the enthronement ceremony. Seeing that your Majesty The army is approaching, so I have no choice but to send you here to comfort you."
"The emperor has ascended the throne. Hasn't the emperor already ascended the throne?" Linghu Zhen looked at him and shouted loudly.
Nalan Yu ignored him, but looked at Luo Cheng and Duanmu Feilong and said, "It's cold and freezing, and the army will inevitably be hungry. I brought these fine cattle and sheep to keep everyone away from the cold."
"Our army will also come to welcome you later. When the dynasty arrives, we will welcome the two generals to the eldest prince's enthronement banquet."
Nalan Yu deliberately emphasized the word "eldest prince" very hard.
"The eldest prince has ascended the throne? What about the second prince?" Linghu Zhen continued to ask.
"The second prince? According to the emperor's uncle, Dean Xia, the second prince will be crowned as prince during the emperor's enthronement ceremony." Doesn't General Linghu know?
Luo Cheng and Duanmu Feilong were a little confused when they saw Nalan Yuqi's majestic appearance. They were originally borrowing troops to fight against the eldest prince, but unexpectedly they had already known about it and even became the emperor.
Even the second prince who borrowed troops from them has become a prince. The Five Regions Dynasty is clearly ready to fight, and there may be an ambush ahead.
The two looked at each other and couldn't go any further.
Linghu really knew the emperor's bodyguards. He looked up at the dozen or so bodyguards who had turned into cattle herders. He didn't know that the imperial city had changed. He was so frightened that he almost fell off his horse.
Looking at the two generals, he murmured: "This has changed? How long did it take?"
Luo Cheng looked back at him and said, "Your emperor has become a prince. How can we continue this battle?"
Duanmu Feilong carefully observed the cattle, sheep and sheepherders behind Li Ye, and said softly to Luo Cheng, "They are all masters."
"I know!" Luo Cheng shook his head and smiled bitterly. "A good thing has turned out like this?"
"Please also ask the two generals to accept these cattle and sheep. The last general will be responsible for inviting the two generals to go to the imperial city to observe the ceremony. Our marshal will then lead an army to greet you!" Nalan Yu edited his hand and said again.
"Report!" Before he finished speaking, the outpost reported again: "Report to the general, a few miles ahead, we have discovered tens of thousands of imperial troops, slowly advancing towards our army!"
When Linghu Zhen heard this, he shouted loudly: "Are you being rebellious?"
Nalan Yu looked at him and smiled and said: "Your Majesty learned that the Beihai army had been working hard all the way and sent his generals to greet them. Where is the rebellion?"
Luo Cheng whispered to Duanmu Feilong, turned to look at Nalan Yu and said: "Now that your new emperor has ascended the throne, we don't need to go to Vientiane City anymore. We will accept the cattle and sheep. General, please forgive me for the trip. His Majesty the Emperor expresses his gratitude."
Turning around, Luo Cheng said to Duanmu Feilong: "I will go to Huangzi Academy to see how my younger brother is practicing. You can go back with the army. Tell our father the truth about the situation here. There is no need to hide it!"
When Nalan Yu heard this, his heart nearly jumped out of his chest, and he quickly raised his hands and said, "Welcome to Huangzi Academy, general. What do you call the general?"
Luo Cheng looked at him and smiled helplessly: "My name is Luo Cheng, from Beihai Miracle Island. My younger brother Luo Wudi is practicing in Huangzi Family Courtyard. I have to go see him this time. This kid hasn't been home for several years." ."
"This is General Duanmu. He is the general of Long Island. Any chance you can invite General Nalan to come to Beihai to play?" Luo Cheng said with a smile.
Since the battle cannot be won, it is also a good thing to win over the opponent's general first.
"The general will definitely pay his respects." Nalan Yu bowed to the two of them again.
"General Linghu, do you want to return to the dynasty with me?" Nalan Yu raised his head and glanced at Linghu Zhen who was riding a horse.
"I fell in love with Dragon Island in the North Sea and want to play here for a while. Please go back and tell my uncle that I will not return to the Five Regions Imperial City for the time being." Even if I beat him to death, I wouldn't dare to go back at this time.
"In that case, please invite General Luo to come with us. There is a branch road fifty miles ahead. Where can you go to the Royal Academy?" Nalan Yu said slowly, suppressing the excitement in his heart.
"It's enough for me to bring ten people. The whole army will go back with my brothers and accept all the cattle and sheep." Luo Cheng thought to himself that he had to get some benefits no matter what.
"Don't worry, General Luo. Your Majesty will definitely prepare heavy gifts and send people to the Royal Academy." Nalan Yu said in her heart, as long as you withdraw, I will go back and ask them for the rest.
"Thank you, I have caused trouble to General Nalan again." Luo Cheng turned around and gave instructions to the deputy general. In an instant, ten soldiers lined up, waiting by the roadside.
More than a dozen guards drove a large group of cattle and sheep forward and handed them over to the soldiers of the Beihai Army to receive them.
"While it's still early, let's go back a little further and set up camp in the evening. With these cattle and sheep, the army can have a drink tonight!" Duanmu Feilong, who was about the same age as Nalan Yu, gave the order.
In an instant, the rear army of the Beihai Army turned into the front army and moved back.
A group of soldiers driving cattle and sheep slowly followed the army
"General Nalan, remember to come to Feilong Island and treat me to a drink!" Duanmu Fei waved his hand and rode away.
"Don't worry, General Duanmu, I'll ask General Luo to bring your gift back to you!" Nalan Yu didn't forget to pull the cage at the end.
Linghu Zhen looked at Nalan Yu and shook his head, saying only three words: "You're cruel!"
The whip was raised and the horse galloped wildly.
"His self-esteem was hurt by you." Luo Cheng looked at Nalan Yu and laughed.
Although he has an army of 50,000, he is not yet sure that he will be an enemy of the entire imperial city. Even if the two armies confront each other one day, it will not be at this time.
If you can avoid fighting, you can still reap benefits. It's not a bad idea to take a look at your brother by the way.
It's freezing cold, but only ghosts are willing to fight to the death.
