Is this the top level of emperor's mental skills?

Zheng Jie prided himself on having a clear conscience, but at this moment he could only smile bitterly.

That's all, he will try his best to do things for Emperor Xianlong, and as for other things, he just needs to be open-minded.

…

…

After returning to Shazhou, Liu Lin, the Great Protector of Anxi, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Shazhou is the closest important town to the Western Regions, and both Yangguan and Yumenguan are within the jurisdiction of Shazhou.

The two great passes in the south and north are the dividing line between the Central Plains and the Western Regions. Exiting the pass means entering a foreign country, and entering the pass means entering the Central Plains.

Along the way, Liu Lin has tasted all the ups and downs of life.

He thought about giving up several times, but the support from Feng Hao and others made him finally grit his teeth and persevere.

He also successfully led the Anxi army to the sandbank.

Except for a very small number of soldiers who were killed or injured, most of the soldiers of the Anxi Army were unscathed, which can be regarded as a miracle.

"Dadu Protector, it's not that the general's rescue was in trouble, but that he didn't know that the thieves in the Western Regions had such wild ambitions. If Lord Feng hadn't used the teleportation technique to report the news, the Shazhou boys would have been kept in the dark."

Shazhou garrison envoy Lu Yong complained.

"..."

Liu Lin was silent for a moment, and then sighed and said: "You know people but don't know their hearts. As the old saying goes, people who are not of my race must have different hearts. I didn't believe it at first, thinking I could influence them, but now it seems

These guys are just a bunch of white-eyed wolves, and they don’t know how to raise them at all.”

In Liu Lin's mind, the Great Zhou has always been the image of the Celestial Kingdom. Small city-states like the Thirty-six Kingdoms of the Western Regions should bow down before the Great Zhou and act as if all the nations came to court.

But the reality is completely opposite.

On the surface, these foreign countries are respectful, but whenever they get a chance, they will show their ugly fangs and bite madly.

This time Liu Lin finally learned the lesson. From now on, he will never trust Hu people easily again.

Not only did he not believe it, he would also write to the court, asking the court to be wary of the barbarians in Chang'an City.

After all, there are tens of thousands of barbarians in Chang'an City, which is too many people.

"Hey, I heard that the situation in Chang'an is not optimistic either."

Lu Yong has heard a lot of news from Chang'an recently. Although the details are quite different from those in the Ministry of War newspaper, the general situation is similar.

"How many people came from the northern barbarians?"

Now that he has successfully escaped from trouble, Liu Lin can finally breathe a sigh of relief. However, the situation in Chang'an is not optimistic. As a military general, he is still concerned about it.

"It is said that there are more than 100,000, and some say it is 200,000. But no matter which one it is, it should not be underestimated."

Lu Yong swallowed a mouthful of spit, and then continued: "Right now, Chang'an City is surrounded by people, and it is impossible to escape in a short time. I heard that the Demon Sect is also involved, and even the high priest of the Demon Sect is here.

Already."

hiss!

Hearing this, Liu Lin took a breath, then clenched his fists and said angrily and hatefully: "How on earth does that fellow Wang Zhongyi do things? If he can put more thought into defense, he will not be able to let the northern barbarian god

You bypassed his defense area without anyone noticing."

"Don't blame me, General Protector. I have heard a saying that Wang Zhongyi nourishes the bandits to respect themselves."

Lu Yong lowered his voice and said.

"Respect yourself by raising bandits? Do you mean that Wang Zhongyi deliberately let the northern barbarians go south?"

Liu Lin shook his head when he heard this and said: "This is impossible. Although Wang Zhongyi is confused about some small things, he will never make mistakes in such a major matter that concerns his wealth and life. Do you think this is a joke? If someone catches him

If you find evidence, it is a serious crime to confiscate your family and exterminate your clan."

In the Zhou Dynasty, the most serious crimes, which could be as serious as confiscating the family and exterminating the clan, were collaborating with the enemy and treason.

If Wang Zhongyi collaborates with the enemy and treason, none of his family members in Chang'an City will be able to escape.

Dozens or even hundreds of people all rushed to the market entrance and had their heads chopped off. It was a bit scary to think about it.

Is Wang Zhongyi such a cold-blooded and hard-hearted person? Can he watch a whole family die because of him?

Liu Lin doesn't think so.

"Then how to explain Wang Zhongyi's actions? He actually led his troops to serve as king, but after arriving in Gyeonggi Province, he did not fight with the demons of the Demon Sect and the barbarians of the northern grasslands. If he really had the intention, why was he so timid?"

Lu Yong obviously doesn't like Wang Zhongyi, and every point he picks is very targeted.

"That's all, the court will decide this matter, so we don't have to worry about it."

Liu Lin sighed and said: "The top priority now is how to arrange the 80,000 Anxi troops. We are guest troops in Shazhou after all. It's okay to stay temporarily for ten and a half months, but it will inevitably cause gossip after a long time."

Liu Lin's words were actually testing Lu Yong to see Lu Yong's attitude towards their temporary stationing on the sandbank.

Lu Yong is also a good person, so why can't he hear the hidden meaning?

He paused and said: "What did the Protector say? We are Pao Ze, so naturally we have to help each other. Although Shazhou is not your jurisdiction, you are always welcome. You can rest assured. As long as I, Mr. Lu

Serving as the guardian of this sandbank for one day will definitely not reduce the Anxi Army's food and clothing expenses."

Lu Yong said this with a pinched neck and patted his chest, which can be described as impassioned.

Liu Lin was very satisfied with what he heard, and nodded and said: "That's good, that's good. Lu Yao knows that horse power can make people's hearts grow over time. It is Liu's good fortune to meet such a loyal and brave man like General Lu.

.”

...

...

After several days of treatment, Feng Hao's injury has recovered.

Although there is still a long way to go before he can return to his full state, he is basically out of danger for his life. The next step is only a matter of time.

For a practitioner, forcing the soul to leave the body is very dangerous at any time.

Feng Hao had no other choice at the time, otherwise he would not have chosen this path.

The situation at that time was one of survival from death. If the spells of those wizards could not be interrupted, all of them, including Feng Hao, would die.

So Feng Hao could only take a gamble.

As a result, he won the bet, and the price he paid was a severe loss of vitality.

But it is better to lose your vitality than to lose your life.

If you lose your vitality, you can make it up again. If you lose your life, then everything is over.

Now Feng Hao doesn't have enough strength to use teleportation. The first thing he needs to do when he regains his strength is to contact Zhao Xun in the capital.

It is said that Zhao Xun now exercises the power of bad coach on his behalf.

Of course he trusts Zhao Xun and Feng Hao.

From the first moment he saw this child, Feng Hao concluded that this child was not ordinary.

After a period of training, Zhao Xun fully demonstrated the talents that a bad person should have.

He has his own way of solving cases and investigating them, and he can always surprise Feng Hao when everyone is at a loss.

Therefore, Feng Hao also raised Zhao Xun as his direct descendant.

But it is one thing to solve a case and investigate it, but it is another thing to direct others to do things.

Feng Hao was worried that Zhao Xun was too inexperienced to convince the bad guys.

None of those three purple-robed delinquents are fuel-efficient.
