Chapter 237 Are you right, third son
It was windy and snowy outside, Li Zhaoyuan was independent in the silent hall.
He suddenly found that his thoughts were in a mess, because a sense of powerlessness that could not be broken by racking his brains resurfaced in his heart again.
The long-lost feeling.
What Xu Changtian said earlier made him realize once again the gap between himself and that imperial brother.
It is not a difference in ability, but a difference in background.
Prince, a mountain that weighs on the hearts of all princes.
Even if you try your best and try your best, it will be difficult to surpass.
Standing for a long time, Li Zhaoyuan sighed, turned around and walked towards the table case.
And at this moment,
"I didn't expect you, Zhao Yuan, to show such an expression."
A slender female voice suddenly broke the silence in the hall, with a hint of teasing, as if she was quite familiar with the second prince.
“.”
Li Zhaoyuan subconsciously showed a touch of tenderness when he heard the sound, but when he looked sideways, he was already calm, even with a little disgust.
I saw a woman in plain white snowsuit appearing at the entrance of the hall.
Beautiful nose and vermilion lips, the snow clothes fell to the elbows, the fragrant shoulders were half exposed, and the white and delicate collarbone was unobstructed.
Beautiful and freezing.
The woman seemed to appear together with a piece of snow and fog falling from the entrance to the palace.
Since she walked by, the ground has formed a layer of hoarfrost.
If Xu Yuan was still staying in this meeting hall at this moment, seeing the characteristics of this woman's clothing, he would be able to recognize this woman as one of the three kings of the Guyuan Fox Clan.
After all, there are not many poor and generous characters in Cangyuan.
Snow Fox Nanjinxi.
It's not the heroine of Cangyuan, but a very special BOSS.
Although she is the third king of the fox clan, she was not there when Gu Yuan invaded Dayan.
In many timelines, she honestly stayed in seclusion in a mountain forest inside Dayan.
is a neutral boss.
Killing her can explode equipment and information.
Don't kill, she will help you once in the later stage, but it is only limited to dealing with the Xiangguo Mansion.
Hearing this ridicule, any emotion appeared on Li Zhaoyuan's face:
"This king is also a human being, so he will naturally feel frustrated."
Paused for a moment, he asked solemnly:
"Nan Jinxi, why did you come here?"
Xuehu Nan Jinxi tilted her head and thought for a while, then stepped forward with her slender figure, and smiled softly:
"Xu Yinhe and your father made such a big commotion in the northern border. It's hard for us not to think about it. Some small animals in the city told me that this mansion has your breath, so they came to see you."
Yaozu is almost invincible in collecting intelligence.
Bloodline allows them to control some low-level monsters, and even ordinary beasts to provide them with information.
But this control can also have flaws.
There is a faint connection of source qi remaining on the accused monster, which can be easily sensed by a strong person like Lou Ji, and then follow the vine.
Li Zhaoyuan glanced outside the hall:
"You do this. Are you afraid of staying in Beifeng City forever?"
"Zhao Yuan is caring about me?"
Looking at the other party's sword-browed and star-eyed appearance, Nan Jinxi bent his eyes and smiled:
"Don't worry, Lou Ji has already left the city to the north, as long as you don't get too close to your imperial sister, no one in this city will find me."
While talking,
Wearing in thin plain clothes, she has already stepped over the 100-meter hall and came to Li Zhaoyuan.
Li Zhaoyuan couldn't see any joy or anger on his face, and asked thoughtfully:
"Lou Ji left?"
Nan Jinxi raised her white and smooth shoulders, and said with a playful smile:
"If the woman doesn't leave, I dare not come out. She seems to be sending something important."
While talking,
She gathered her skirt and sat on the chair, raising her hand to get the file on the desk.
It's a pity that Li Zhaoyuan, who was standing on the side of the desk, took the file in his hand first, and smiled slightly:
"Are you so afraid of Lou Ji?"
"I can't beat them~"
Nan Jinxi showed a pitiful expression, stretched out his hand to continue to get another file, and said with a smile:
"If it wasn't for that woman somehow hurting the foundation, she might have been sanctified by now."
Seeing the other party's actions, Li Zhaoyuan directly collected all the files on the table into Xu Mijie, with a slightly cold voice:
"Okay, if you want to spy on information, go find someone else."
Nan Jinxi stared at Li Zhaoyuan with those blue eyes, and said:
"Just kidding, you idiot. You really don't understand women at all."
The dark pupils in Li Zhaoyuan's eyes looked down at the woman:
"Woman? Are you human?"
“.”
Hearing this, Nan Jinxi was stunned for a moment, and then a sullen look appeared in her beautiful eyes.
Li Zhaoyuan's dark eyes were deep and unmoved.
Looking at each other, silent.
Long time,
The sullenness in Nan Jinxi's eyes gradually disappeared, and he whispered to himself:
"I know that your identity cannot be connected with me, but"
"okay."
Li Zhaoyuan interrupted, standing straight:
"Nan Jinxi, I did save you back then, but don't repeat the boring story of the white fox repaying your favor."
Nan Jinxi Mosuo's slender fingers suddenly exerted force:
"Li Zhaoyuan, I gave up Shouyuan to cultivate a human form, what do you think it is for?"
Li Zhaoyuan was unmoved in the slightest, and even showed a hint of impatience:
"If you have anything to say, you can speak directly. Now the Beifeng war is urgent. If you continue to talk nonsense, the king will start the battle."
“.”
There is no sound in the hall,
The woman's weak and slender body trembled, and said in a low voice:
"I just came here to tell you, leave Beifeng City as soon as possible."
"leave?"
Li Zhaoyuan frowned slightly. She knew that the other party risked being killed to show up, so there was a high probability that she would not lie.
After thinking for a moment, he spit out two words:
"Reason."
Nan Jinxi's eyes showed a hint of hesitation, but he still revealed:
"All the grain, grass and ordnance stocks of the Zongmen in Beifeng City will be blown up immediately. You should know what this means."
means that seventy-eight out of ten of the grain and grass in the city were destroyed.
means that half of the defense equipment cannot be replenished.
Representatives and one-third of the reserve source crystals supplying the large moat formation evaporated.
Thinking of getting here, Li Zhaoyuan was about to leave immediately, but was stopped by Nan Jinxi, she said slowly:
"It's already late, I know the news was a quarter of an hour ago, and you should be able to hear the sound in less than a cup of tea."
"Is it the sect?"
Nan Jinxi shook her head, indicating that she didn't know, but there was a hint of banter in her words:
"The resources in your Dayan territory are really too rich. The imperial court fights with the Zongmen, and the Zongmen can also fight with the Zongmen. If the Beifeng City is lost, even if 700,000 troops are buried in the snowfield, like Beifeng You, Dayan, will have to mobilize troops to take back the important pass town in the coming year.
"The barbarians will not give up this opportunity to escape from the snowy field. The Zongmen, the desert, and even our Gu Yuan will miss this opportunity to consume your Great Yan court. We will support them. Even if your Great Yan court can regain it, it will definitely have vitality. Seriously injured, unable to attack the sect again."
“.”
A few breaths of silence,
Li Zhaoyuan suddenly asked:
"Are you finished?"
"Um?"
"Let's leave after finishing speaking. It's time for me to continue handling military affairs."
“.”
Xuehu Nan Jinxi's eyes widened slightly, and her tone of voice accelerated slightly:
"Li Zhaoyuan, didn't you understand what I said? This is Beifeng City"
"Of course I understand."
Li Zhaoyuan stepped forward slowly and pulled the woman up from the chair, sat down by himself, leaned against the back of the chair, and said calmly:
"But the more critical the situation is, the more I can win the support of others. If I handle it properly, I may even get the support of that imperial sister."
"You will die." Nan Jinxi stared at Li Zhaoyuan.
Li Zhaoyuan shook his head and stopped looking at her:
"If this king fails, he can't escape death."
For a while, the hall fell into silence.
Li Zhaoyuan exhaled a mouthful of white mist:
"Let's go, if someone finds out, this king can only launch an array to kill you."
“.”
Nan Jinxi looked at him with a complex expression for a few breaths, gritted his teeth, turned around and disappeared into the conference hall into a snow mist.
And what disappeared with her was the hoarfrost that she brought up while walking.
All traces dissipated, as if she had never been there.
Seeing the other party leave, Li Zhaoyuan put the copy files that had just been collected in Xumijie on the desk one by one, but when he placed the file about the sect's inventory in Beifeng City, he suddenly curled his lips meaningfully horn
The night gradually deepened.
On a snowy night, the important town of Beifeng looks empty and lonely.
Soldiers patrolling the streets from time to time, and beast carts rushing past with escorted ordnance became the only sounds on the street.
The horses in the stables were pacing their hooves uncomfortably because of the continuous explosion in the sky in the south of the city. The countless soldiers and civilians who were guarded by the formation were huddled on the bed, enjoying a false sense of security in the warm and thick quilt.
And Xu Yuan is also one of them.
After bidding farewell to the second prince, he immediately went back to his room to rest.
No one arranged for him, so he just rested in his fiancée's house.
This is not in line with the etiquette of the Great Yan, but the dandy doesn't care about the etiquette.
Moreover, there are only three decent other courtyards in the back hall, so he can't sleep in the third prince's room, right?
The heavy quilt made Xu Yuan sleep soundly, but unfortunately tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
Just as he was about to fall asleep, Xu Yuan suddenly opened his eyes.
Xu Yuan rubbed his eyebrows and sat up, his untied long hair hanging behind him.
Enduring the drowsiness in his heart, he turned over, picked up the jacket hanging on the back of the chair beside him, draped it over his body, and walked out the door.
As soon as the door was opened, the cold wind and blizzard piercing his bones cut his cheek like a knife.
On the sky not far away, the red light of flames was mixed with black mist, and the sound of explosions came one after another.
Looking at this scene, Xu Yuan frowned subconsciously.
Before he could think too much, a figure landed, and Zhou Chen came over:
"Third Young Master."
Xu Yuan glanced at him and asked:
"what happens?"
Zhou Chen glanced at the direction where the flames were rising, and said hesitantly:
"That direction. It should be the frontier army's warehouse."
"hiss"
Xu Yuan's eyes twitched, he was completely awake from sleepiness, he performed his exercises, and jumped to the high place of the government office a few times.
In the snowy night with low visibility, apart from the fire point near the government office, he also vaguely saw the flames rising from several places in the city.
"Those places are the warehouses of the frontier army?"
Zhou Chen has been following Xu Yuan's side, and immediately responded when he heard the words:
"Yes, the frontier army is chaotic internally, and each sect basically has its own warehouse for storing materials in Beifeng City."
Xu Yuan stood on a high place and watched for a few breaths, then shook his head slightly:
"I was taken over by one pot, these sects really have a good appetite"
"It's really a good appetite."
The voice that answered the conversation was calm, it was not Zhou Chen, but Li Zhaoyuan.
He did not know when he also came to the highest attic in the government office, looked at Xu Yuan, holding a file in his hand, and said indifferently:
"It's just a pity that the information about the sect's warehouse that the third son gave me earlier seems to be useless now."
As he spoke, a ball of blue flame ignited in Li Zhaoyuan's hands, instantly devouring the dossier into ashes.
Xu Yuan frowned, staring at Li Zhaoyuan:
"Second Highness, do you mean that you suspect that the military warehouse here was burned by our Xiangguo Mansion?"
Li Zhaoyuan's sight seems to be able to see through people:
"Third son, the Black Scale Guard can even check the storage quantity, so it shouldn't be difficult to do some tricks in it, and the investigation result of blowing up the South City Arc de Triomphe is also the frame of your Tianan Chamber of Commerce."
"." Xu Yuan did not say a word, nor did he defend himself.
Seeing the other party's expression, Li Zhaoyuan smiled:
"However, since Mr. Xu dotes on you, the third son, how could he put you in danger? I guess there must be other people who are obstructing it. After all, if it was really done by your Xiangguofu, why should the third son hand over the information on the frontier army's storage to you?" My lord, why use the frame of the Tianan Chamber of Commerce, my lord speculates that someone should be a hindrance and sow discord."
The wind and snow at the top of the attic are very heavy, and the long hair that is not **** is fluttering in the wind.
Xu Yuan's eyes were burning with blood, and he chuckled lightly:
"With such a big incident, the Second Highness didn't go to command and control the fire, but instead came to chat with me?"
Li Zhaoyuan's deep black pupils showed a hint of a smile:
"The destruction of the storage of the northern sect is actually beneficial to the court, isn't it?"
"Favourable?" Xu Yuan was thoughtful.
"Third son, this king has seen three points of advantage, please help me correct it."
Li Zhaoyuan glanced at Xu Yuan, then turned to look at Nancheng in the distance, seeming to sigh, seeming to be funny:
"First, the Beifeng City cannot be defended. These things will be blown up sooner or later. The supplies enough for 300,000 troops for half a year can only be thrown to the barbarians."
"Secondly, the biggest reason for the crisis in the northern city is not the shortage of materials in the city, but the destruction of the formation and the city gate of the Arc de Triomphe in the south of the city. The barbarians gather their totems to attack, and we need human lives to fill it. Now someone is willing to help us If you blow it up, the frontier troops of the sects in the city will have no supplies, and they will definitely ask me for help, and the imperial sister will make the resistance of the frontier troops of the sects to rotate in the city defense much smaller."
"Thirdly, the distance between Houting County and Beifeng City is only three hundred miles. Even if high-level cultivators need to cover up their breath, it only takes one day to go back and forth. Every time Beifeng City guards for one more day, these materials will be taken away by the high-level cultivators of the sect. Those who use the Sumeru Precepts to transport some of them away and keep it for ten days, most of the supplies will be hoarded to Houting County, and the people trapped in the snowfield will only be left with our imperial court's 300,000 troops in the Dali Mountain area."
“.”
Xu Yuan looked at the thoughtful second prince, and suddenly grinned:
"So that's the case. The destruction of the Zongmen's warehouse is so beneficial to our Great Yan court. The thoughtfulness of the Second Highness is really well-deserved."
Li Zhaoyuan shook his head:
"The third son is absurd. This king can only think about it after the fact. The person who planned this in advance is really thoughtful."
said,
Dancing in the wind and snow,
He stared at Xu Yuan, and said with a smile:
"Are you right, Third Young Master?"
