Gandu, East Palace.
Xiang Baichuan was a little silent, and sitting opposite him was Wei Qing, who was also speechless.
It’s already the third day!
According to the originally set date, grain and iron ore must be paid today, otherwise it will be overdue.
However, for three whole days, they received no news from Gu Beichuan.
However, this is news in itself.
They encountered a sniper attack, which delayed their entry into Gandu!
It is self-evident where this sniper came from.
Everyone here is smart. After thinking for a moment, they figured out King Yuan’s plan.
But there is nothing you can do about it, because what they are doing is a majestic conspiracy, so you can't avoid it.
Once the time is delayed, the prince will inevitably bear the reputation of being unlucky in doing things.
The consequences may not be visible in a short period of time, but if King Yuan and the others hold on to this handle, they may be constrained everywhere in the future.
"Your Highness, who is the general sent to support?"
"Huang Zhizhong, a veteran of the True Qi Realm, has good commanding ability and has always been a stable person."
Wei Qing obviously knew about Huang Zhizhong. Hearing this, he nodded and said, "If we send him there, there will probably be no problem."
"The reason why Beichuan and the others haven't come back yet is because King Yuan is causing trouble. This is also the reason why he has repeatedly made things difficult for us at court meetings, just to create a time lag with us."
"Your Highness...be prepared to overstay your welcome."
Hearing this, Xiang Baichuan's face suddenly turned pale.
When it comes to this matter, no one can really blame it.
Both Wei Qing and Gu Beichuan used their full strength.
He could only blame himself. He never thought that King Yuan would be so bold and dare to use new soldiers to plunder food and grass.
This wrong step led to mistakes every step of the way. After losing the opportunity, there were constraints everywhere, which led to today's situation.
Xiang Baichuan sighed and said helplessly: "That's all we have to do, let's go to court."
…
Qiande Hall, court meeting.
"If you have something to do, leave the court." Zheng Ying's voice was still high-pitched, but compared with the previous few days, it was a bit inferior.
Even his expression wasn't very good, he looked haggard.
Obviously, the sweat on Emperor Renxuan's forehead that day made the chief chamberlain really anxious.
"Father, I have something to report." King Yuan stepped forward and said loudly.
When the courtiers heard this, they were not surprised at all. After all, in the past few days of court meetings, King Yuan would bring up old matters again almost every day.
However, this is a fight between the two princes, and it is really difficult for them to intervene, let alone get involved.
As a result, everyone immediately turned their eyes to their noses, and their noses to their hearts, and remained silent.
"Father, today is the deadline to pay for grain, grass and iron ore."
"Without food and grass, the soldiers will have nothing to eat. Without food, they will naturally not be able to train well."
"If you don't train well, if you go to the battlefield of the Northern Expedition, won't you be killed and turned upside down?"
"How can this be done? Therefore, the matter of food and grass is really a top priority!"
King Yuan looked as if he was heartbroken for sharing the country's worries.
When the Qingliu people saw it, they all frowned.
They may not know the ins and outs of this matter, but it is obvious that King Yuan wants to attack the prince!
Otherwise, given the prince's abilities, how could he not be able to do even small things like collecting food and grass?
It must be King Yuan who is getting in the way!
Even they knew such a simple truth. Why couldn't His Majesty think of it?
In other words, it was not unexpected, but just left to chance. His Majesty also wanted to see such a situation to test which of the two princes was the qualified heir.
Thinking of this, they fell silent.
"So, my brother, I dare to ask, has the food and grass collected by the prince and brother been transported?"
"I don't have to ask this question, it's just that the soldiers don't have enough to eat!"
"Brother, please forgive me."
Hearing this, Xiang Baichuan's face turned pale and he just looked at him coldly without saying a word.
Until Emperor Renxuan said: "Where has the food and grass been shipped?"
What greeted these words was Xiang Baichuan's long silence.
He turned his gaze to Wei Qing aside, but only received a helpless sigh from Wei Qing.
At this point, even though he has experienced the ups and downs of officialdom for a long time, he really has no good solution.
I'm afraid this time the blame for incompetence will really be placed on the prince.
Seeing this, Xiang Baichuan sighed in his heart, took a step forward, and was about to speak.
…
Rooster Ridge!
It has to be said that Yuan Xionghuan is really a powerful warrior. Even with his unparalleled Qi and unrivaled Kung Fu, his huge strength alone is not something that ordinary people can withstand.
The mace in his hand danced like a tiger, and ordinary soldiers, even if they had shields to resist them, would be injured if they touched them, and they would die if they touched them.
Under his leadership, even Kun Ziying, which was famous for its defense, was torn open.
Then Yuan Xionghuan went completely crazy, picked up the mace, and went straight towards Gu Beichuan in the center of the formation without caring!
But many of the soldiers behind him were not so lucky.
They don't have Yuan Xionghuan's astonishing strength, nor do they have the skill to be invulnerable to ordinary swords.
With a mere body of flesh and blood, he rushed into the formation randomly and was abandoned by the general. The only ending was to be hacked to death by the soldiers of the Kunzi camp on both sides.
Just like this, after a long time, the eight hundred elites brought over by Yuan Xionghuan were already dead.
However, on the way Yuan Xionghuan broke into the formation, he also left behind a corpse of a soldier from the Kunzi camp.
Finally, after using his mace to smash away the last soldier standing in front of him, the man dressed in white appeared in front of him!
However, what was waiting for him was not a weak scholar, but a lightning strike as powerful as lightning!
This move is like the coming of the blazing sun, with blazing flames pouring down from the sky, trying to scorch the world!
Not only that, but a shadow of the blazing sun actually appeared behind the white-clothed figure, and the surrounding temperature also increased sharply!
At the critical moment, Yuan Xionghuan roared, his body suddenly rose up, and the shadow of a brutal black bear appeared behind him.
This is the true meaning of his martial arts, a rare animal form!
Roar!
As soon as the black bear appeared, he roared loudly.
The roar was as loud as thunder, causing the white-clothed figure to pause in its lightning-fast attack.
And it was this meal that gave Yuan Xionghuan a chance to breathe.
The true energy of his Dantian poured out desperately, all converging on the mace, and then he used all his strength to swing it out fiercely!
At the same time, the shadow of the violent bear behind him also waved its claws.
In an instant, the bear's claws combined with the mace, blooming with rich black light, full of power, and smashed towards the sun.
boom!
There was a muffled sound.
Then the two figures quickly retreated.
The man in white clothes took seven steps back in a row, and Yuan Xionghuan was even worse. His mouth was cracked and blood was bleeding from the corners of his mouth. Seventy-eight points of his energy had gone away. His chest was burnt black and he felt a burning pain.
But he didn't care, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said excitedly: "Who are you? You are not Gu Beichuan!"
