Chapter 778 Yuan Wuhou(1/2)
Outside the Sunset City, two fast horses galloped past, and snowflakes flew away behind them. Soon, the fast horses rushed into the ancient city and rushed to the east.
In the small courtyard in the east of the city, Xinyu took out the new clothes she had prepared and stepped forward.
"Try fitting?"
Xinyu unbuttoned the buttons of her clothes and put them on before serving the man in front of her.
"I really didn't expect that as a princess, your knitted girl Hong is better than that girl Ruoxi." Ning Chen looked at her clothes and chuckled.
"As a wife, you always have to learn something," Xinyu said softly.
"Tread"
While the two were talking, outside the yard, the sound of horse hooves sounded, and someone knocked on the door.
"A customer is here, Xinyu, go and prepare some tea," Ning Chen instructed.
"Um"
Xinyu nodded and replied.
"Please come in"
Ning Chen looked outside the yard and said calmly.
With a creak, the gate of the courtyard opened, and two figures walked out, saluting respectfully.
"See Wuhou"
Toshiba Hou, the contemporary Taili Chief Liu Zong, came here in person to meet Daxia Zhiming Hou.
"Get up"
Ning Chen responded, turned around and walked towards the table, and said, "Two adults have been chasing for so many days, so come in and have a drink of hot tea."
"Thank you, Marquis"
The two of them responded respectfully and walked towards the house.
"Sit" Ning Chen said calmly.
The two looked at each other and sat down around the table.
Xinyu came with tea and presented tea to the three of them one by one.
When Toshiba Hou and Liu Zong saw this, he was shocked and hurriedly got up and saluted respectfully.
"See Your Highness the Princess"
"No need to be polite"
Xinyu put down the tea and said calmly, "There is no princess here, nor Wuhou. We are here just because we don't want the disputes outside to disturb our lives anymore, and you don't have to be polite everywhere."
"yes"
Toshiba Hou and Liu Zong suppressed the turmoil in their hearts and sat down again.
After Xinyu put down the tea, she did not leave much and turned around and walked towards the room next to her.
When men talk, women avoid it. This is a truth passed down by our ancestors, and she also agrees with it.
"Have you found something?" Ning Chen said calmly.
"Return to the Marquis, I found it."
Liu Zong nodded and said with a serious expression, "It was the news that Zhao Hongyun himself spat out. The Moyin Mining Vein was found two hundred miles outside the Sunset City. Five years ago, he wanted to repay the court, but he was stopped and killed halfway."
"Moyin Mining Vein, five years ago"
Ning Chen picked up the teacup and whispered softly, "Five years ago, two groups of people rushed past the city from now on, and it should be the source of this matter."
As for the Moyin Mine, this is the most important thing in making heavy armor. The Yongye Heavy Cavalry, which was once invincible in the world, was wearing this heavy armor, and it was difficult to injure swords and guns, which caused heavy losses to the elite troops of Daxia.
"A Zhao Hongyun doesn't have the courage to say that, who is the person above?" Ning Chen looked at the former and spoke.
Liu Zong showed a hint of hesitation on his face, and after a moment, he still said truthfully, "It's the Marquis of Yuanwu."
"Bang"
With a crisp sound, the tea cup in Ning Chen's hand shattered, and the tea water spilled down, overflowing along the gaps of his fingers.
In the next room, Xinyu heard the movement and walked out. When she saw the teacup in the former's hand, she stepped forward and changed into a new cup. She whispered, "There are not many teacups at home, don't break them anymore."
Ning Chen came back to his senses, smiled apologetically, and said, "I was accidentally just now, I will pay attention."
Xinyu cleaned up the teacup fragments, and without saying much, she stepped back.
"Your Majesty already knows this. However, as Wu Hou, Yuanwu, has heavy troops in charge, and now he has privately mined ink and silver mines. His purpose is self-evident. Even if Your Majesty wants to cure his crime, it is not so easy." Toshiba Hou said with a worried look.
"Thousand years have passed"
Ning Chen's eyes flashed coldly, "The glory supported by Wuhou in Daxia with his life cannot be desecrated by anyone. There must be no rebellious Wuhou in Daxia."
"The climate of Yuanwuhou has already been established. Now that something happened to Zhao Hongyun, Yuanwuhou is even more prepared. Your Majesty dares not force it too much. Otherwise, once Yuanwuhou raises his troops, the Great Xia will fall into war again," said Toshiba Hou Ning.
Ning Chen drank all the tea in the cup, stood up, and said calmly, "Let's go, I'll go with you."
Toshiba Hou, Liu Zong showed joy on his face. If this adult was willing to come forward, the matter would be resolved.
"You want to go out?" Xinyu walked out and asked.
"Yeah, I'll go back soon," Ning Chen said seriously.
"Be careful," Xinyu replied softly.
Ning Chen smiled and said, "It's just a small matter. I didn't want to care about it, but the glory that the seniors such as Triumph and Blood-Clothing Marquis and others worked hard to maintain during their lifetime cannot be defiled by these people."
"Yeah, I know"
Xinyu nodded gently and said, "You are also Wuhou. This is what you should do. Go, I will wait for you to come back at home."
Ning Chen nodded, and walked out of the house without delay.
Toshiba Hou and Liu Zong followed quickly and walked out together.
Seeing the three of them leaving, Xinyu walked to the table and put away the teacup. Unexpectedly, she could not escape the storm in the court. What was even more unexpected was that among the Marquis of Daxia, there were people who were assimilated by the court.
It is extremely difficult to get the title of Wuhou of Daxia. This is a well-known thing. It is better to have nothing than to be abusive. Every generation of emperors and the three dukes have repeatedly weighed the pros and cons of this matter and dared not make a decision easily.
The word Wuhou in Daxia is no longer just a power position, but more about faith. Once faith collapses, the foundation of Daxia will also be shaken.
...
In the western Xinjiang, the ruins of the old site where the Eternal Night Sect fought a decisive battle with Daxia, a middle-aged man in purple and blue battle clothes stood quietly. Behind him, there were tents standing one after another, and teams of soldiers patrolled, with high alert.
The scorching sun sets in the west, and the afterglow of the sunset shines between heaven and earth, dyeing all the scenery into gold, so beautiful.
At this moment, outside the military camp, three figures walked towards him. The leader, with plain clothes and black hair, and delicate faces, still had no change from thirty years ago, and was calm and cold.
"stop"
In front of the military camp, two guards reached out to stop the three of them.
However, a shocking scene happened. When the two of them reached out to stop them, the figure of Suyi had already passed by and was not affected by the two of them at all.
The two soldiers were startled and immediately turned around to stop them.
Toshiba Hou stepped forward, took out a token with his left hand, and blocked the two of them.
"Associate Toshiba Hou"
Seeing the mark on the token, the two soldiers were shocked and immediately knelt down and saluted.
"You have nothing to do here, so do whatever you should do," Toshiba Hou said lightly.
"yes"
The two soldiers responded respectfully.
Toshiba Hou took back the token and continued to follow Liu Zong beside him.
The two soldiers looked at the figure of Suyi who was walking far ahead and were shocked. Could it be that adult who could accompany Toshiba Hou?
Hasn't that adult left for a long time? Why did he appear here?
In the barracks, Suyi walked over. When a pair of patrol soldiers saw this, they immediately went up to stop them. However, the seemingly unhurried figure could not stop anyone and disappeared behind everyone.
In front of the commander's tent, a soldier ran over quickly and said anxiously, "Mr. Yuanwu, someone has entered the camp and is about to come here."
"Um?"
In front of the tent, when Yuan Wuhou heard this, his eyes froze and said, "Who is it?"
"There are three people in total, one is the Taili Master, the other is Toshiba Hou, and the other is dressed in plain white clothes and unknown identity," the soldier replied urgently.
"Simple clothes"
Yuanwu Hou's expression was shocked, and he couldn't believe it, "Marquis Zhiming"
"Yuanwuhou, the first time we met, I didn't expect it to be in this form."
Before the words were finished, a figure in plain clothes appeared in the distance, and the figure was like a illusion. In a few steps, it had arrived in front of the tent.
"There is an assassin." Seeing this, the guard in front of the tent hurriedly shouted.
To be continued...
