Another day.
The news of the barbarian royal court being destroyed did not spread.
The people of the Dawu Dynasty were not aware of this, but some people who were concerned had already received the news.
Datong, Qin Palace.
"hiss"
"How could Huo Qubing, with only 100,000 brave cavalrymen, capture the barbarian king's court?"
"Did you destroy the Muha tribe along the way?"
After receiving this news, the King of Qin was dumbfounded and shocked to the extreme.
One hundred thousand brave cavalry, only one hundred thousand brave cavalry
At this time, the King of Qin was both shocked and excited. He was shocked by the terrifying combat power of the Northern Cavalry, and excited about the news that the barbarian royal court had been captured.
"Hahaha."
"As expected of him."
But in the end, it turned into a big laugh.
After all, the King of Qin had no rift with Jiang Xuan, but instead had a deep hatred for the barbarians.
After hearing the news.
He was so delighted that he wanted to hold a grand banquet to celebrate Huo Qubing's victory.
But after laughing, the King of Qin's expression turned ugly, and he said to everyone in the hall in a deep voice: "Have you found out any news about the White Lotus Sect?"
"No, no"
Looking at King Qin's unhappy expression.
All the generals and scholars in the hall felt a tightness in their hearts and quickly lowered their heads.
"A bunch of rubbish." Seeing this, the King of Qin frowned and cursed, "It's just a cult. I have been investigating for so long, but there is not even a little information. What use is there for me to have you?"
"check!"
“Keep investigating, door to door. If you can’t find the person in Datong Prefecture, then go to Xingqing Prefecture. If you still can’t find the person in Xingqing Prefecture, then check all the seven prefectures in the northern border. Even if you have to turn the entire northern border upside down, you must find the person for me.” After the King of Qin finished shouting, he took a deep breath.
The coldness in his eyes did not diminish at all: "These rats in the gutter, do they really think that I am easy to bully? They actually dare to set their sights on me."
After the King of Qin finished speaking, he saw that everyone was still in the hall.
He frowned immediately.
He said in a deep voice: "What are you still standing there for? Go find someone."
"Yes." Upon hearing this, all the generals nodded repeatedly and retreated without daring to raise their heads.
For a moment, in the huge main hall.
Only a few scribes were left.
Looking at the scholars in the hall, the King of Qin softened his tone and asked them, "How is the war going on over there, King Jin?"
"Go back to your lord."
A scholar in a Confucian robe bowed and said, "Prince Jin has been attacking the city for several days, but each time he has returned empty-handed. There are many damages. It will be impossible to capture Chongli Prefecture in a short time."
This scholar in Confucian robe is named Xu Qingyi.
He looks middle-aged, with an elegant look. From his appearance you can tell that he has an easy-going personality and is easy to get along with.
"Humph"
Upon hearing this, the King of Qin snorted coldly.
He mocked, "This King of Jin is really old. He couldn't even capture Chongli Prefecture after a long time, and yet he still wants to rebel. He really doesn't know how much he weighs."
Xu Qingyi shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, the key reason why Prince Jin cannot take Chongli Mansion is not because Prince Jin is old, but because of Ning He, the commander of Chongli Mansion."
"A girl from the Ning family?"
After hearing this, the King of Qin narrowed his eyes.
The coldness on his face disappeared, and he said with a smile on his face: "This girl is not bad. Not only did she inherit her father's skills, but she also learned a lot from King Zhenbei."
Obviously, King Qin admired Ning He very much.
After all, his relationship with Duke Wu was not bad, and Ning He was related to King Zhenbei, so naturally he looked at them with appreciation rather than slander.
The King of Qin withdrew his thoughts.
Then he asked Xu Qingyi, "Do you think the King of Jin can take over Chongli Prefecture?"
"It's hard."
Xu Qingyi said: "With Ning He here, the possibility of Prince Jin conquering Chongli Mansion is almost zero." "Almost zero?"
The King of Qin was slightly startled when he heard this.
He didn't expect that this strategist under his command would admire the girl from the Ning family so much.
However, if Prince Jin cannot take Chongli Prefecture.
This is going to be difficult.
He is not the kind of person who would wait for the Dawu Dynasty to fall into complete chaos so that he can take advantage of the situation to reap benefits.
Instead, he held the same idea as the King of Chu.
But his methods are far inferior to those of the King of Chu.
"But, my lord, nothing is absolute." Seeing the King of Qin looking hesitant, Xu Qingyi smiled and said, "Perhaps it won't be long before Chongli Mansion will fall without a fight."
"Oh?"
The King of Qin was surprised and asked, "What do you mean?"
Xu Qingyi asked, "Your Highness, do you still remember the news that Ning He was the disciple of the King of Zhenbei that spread widely in our court some time ago?"
The King of Qin nodded.
He asked, “What’s the connection between these two?”
"Of course it is related, and it is very related." Xu Qingyi smiled and said in the King of Qin's confusion: "After all, it is not just us who want the King of Jin to capture Chongli Mansion. Many people have also set their sights on Chongli Mansion."
"When Prince Jin failed to conquer Ning He after repeated attacks, Ning He became a thorn in everyone's side. Naturally, some people don't want her to be alive. In other words, someone will eventually not be able to resist and take action against Ning He before Prince Jin." Xu Qingyi paused and pondered for a moment.
Then he continued: "Before Ning He's identity as the disciple of King Zhenbei was exposed, the people who went to assassinate her might have been just some minor characters, but after this relationship was exposed..."
“Those who can’t hold back may have some concerns in their hearts, but in the face of absolute interests, they will still not give up. Instead, they will send some truly powerful people to kill them with one strike, thereby pushing the situation of the Dawu Dynasty forward.”
After Xu Qingyi's explanation, King Qin suddenly understood.
He said in a deep voice: "In this case, even if I do nothing, things will develop as expected."
"That's not bad."
As the King of Qin spoke, a gleam of brilliance flashed in his eyes.
Then he said: "And the person who made the move will definitely anger the King of Zhenbei. In this way, we will have one less opponent in the future, which is great."
Say it.
The King of Qin was obviously in a good mood.
He looked at the scholar in white clothes in the hall and asked, "How is King Wu doing recently?"
"Go back to your lord."
Upon hearing this, the scholar in white took two steps forward.
He said respectfully, "In recent days, the number of refugees in Xingqing Prefecture has increased, and the number of the Censorate and the Imperial Guards has also increased. They are still investigating the case of the disaster relief grain being robbed."
This person was the one from before.
The man who appeared in the Prince of Wu's palace was an undercover agent planted by the Prince of Wu next to the Prince of Qin.
"Still checking?"
The King of Qin frowned after hearing this.
He said in a deep voice: "Do you know what they found out?"
"Your Highness, under the deliberate guidance of Prince Wu, the investigation direction of the Censorate and the Embroidered Uniform Guard is now pointing to the White Lotus Sect, and no clues related to us have been found." The white-robed scholar spoke with a respectful look on his face.
There was nothing unusual at all.
"That's good."
The King of Qin nodded and immediately felt relieved.
As for whether the Jinyiwei and the Censorate could find the White Lotus Sect, it was none of his business.
If found.
At the very least, he had to lend a helping hand and send a group of elite troops to help.
Destroy those rats in the White Lotus Sect.
As for what happened afterwards, the White Lotus Society would not tell the truth.
ridiculous
Who would believe this kind of low-level frame-up?
Two updates today!
