In the palace of Longxingzhou, the Dalu Dynasty, sandalwood permeated the entire room.

In the fire brazier in the room, charcoal burned vigorously. An iron pot was set up on the basin. The boiling water churned and the water vapor was everywhere, and the dryness of winter was dispersed immediately.

The deacon and eunuch trotted over with broken steps, not daring to make footsteps. Although the steps were fast, they were careful in every step.

Carrying the kettle, he added hot tea to the two who were playing chess.

The man in the golden python robe looked pale, and he was obviously not recovering from his cultivation level.

A lean camel is bigger than a horse. After all, he was once a spiritual practitioner in the upper fifth realm. He was not afraid of the boiling water, so he picked up a teacup and took a drink.

He exclaimed: "Tea is a magical thing. Every time I pass through the water, it tastes different. This is the fourth one, which is very different from the first two."

In fact, what he said is equivalent to farting in the eyes of ordinary people. Ordinary tea tastes lighter after it has passed through water. The best tea is the second course of water. The first course cannot be drunk and thrown away.

When I drink it at the fourth course, it is almost bland and tasteless.

The tea leaves in the palace can be worth one or two gold, and of course, the four still have the fragrance of tea.

Emperor Lu Dingying gave in a humbly: "Don't the national teacher try it?"

The old man in black admires the tiger and is dedicated to the chess game in front of him. He holds the black piece in his hand and is very satisfied after the settlement.

The victory of this game is in sight. Even if you play chess with the emperor, you will still be welcome.

He picked up the tea cup and took a sip: "It's really good."

Emperor Lu Dingying was not thinking about this, and he did not have the airs of the emperor when talking to the national teacher Chonghu.

He asked, "My birthday is coming, and there are good plans for the prince to choose the national teacher."

Chonghu was very casual: "Your Majesty already has the answer in his heart, and asking Weichen is just a formality."

"It's not to be concealed. It's an internal matter of the royal family, and as an external minister, you shouldn't participate. Since Your Majesty asked, I dared to say something."

"Your Majesty has only two sons, and His Highness Lu Jun and Lu Jie are each incomplete. In comparison, His Highness Lu Jun is better."

"Your Majesty has been dragging the prince not to establish it, just waiting for His Highness Lu Jun to recover his appearance."

"Now His Highness Lu Jie has been expended, and His Majesty has just the right to make His Highness Lu Jun the crown prince."

Lu Dingying seemed to be entangled: "But Jun'er's face"

If the emperor didn't continue, Chonghu knew what he meant. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, within three years, His Highness Lu Jun will definitely be as good as before."

Lu Dingying stopped watching the chess game and praised: "Okay, okay."

He turned around and finally brought the topic to the issue he was concerned about.

Lu Dingying asked tentatively: "National Master, then my cultivation level"

There is no need to say anything between smart people. Chonghu said bluntly: "After this dark tide, Your Majesty's cultivation can gradually recover."

Lu Dingying asked: "Oh? I heard that the dark tides are quite moving this time, and the luck of Longxingzhou is used."

Chonghu remained silent, obviously the default.

Lu Dingying continued to ask: "How did the national master know that the Dragon Continent and the Wild Continent will definitely win this time? Will the Demon Cave not win two continents in one fell swoop?"

The Shi Potian who hit the tiger's words: "No, it's easy to trap the demon cave and try to break through two continents. They are tolerant and not afraid of the monks of the two continents."

He pretended to be mysterious and paused for a moment, raising Lu Dingying's full appetite, and slowly said: "What trapped in the Demon Cave is afraid of is the ban between the two continents, launching dark tides again and again, absorbing the souls of the two continents, and blackening the creatures of the two continents."

"The end of the day is nothing more than to weaken the fortunes of the two continents."

"The energy that the ban in the middle of the two continents relies on comes from the luck of the two continents."

"Holding to the devil's cave is like cutting off firewood from the bottom of the cauldron, step by step to the death of two continents."

As an emperor of a great dynasty, Lu Dingying could not praise the national teacher's knowledge.

Full of joy: "With the assistance of the national teacher, my Dalu Dynasty is just around the corner."

"What the national master said is the secret of the two continents. How dare you ask the national master where he learned it, so how can he ensure the information is accurate?"

Chonghu smiled faintly and clasped his fists and said, "Please don't ask me, there are some things that I dare not say, and I cannot say."

Lu Dingying was quite obedient and immediately kept silent. Only then did he remember that there was still a chess game. He looked down and saw that three pieces of chess pieces died in the three corners of north and south.

This game will definitely lose, but there is no atmosphere at all. I said with great interest: "The National Master's game contains tricks, can I explain them in detail?"

Chonghu didn't hesitate and raised his hand to point at the black piece that was about to be swallowed up in the south corner of the chessboard.

"This is the Shushui Kingdom, the next move of the Dalu Dynasty."

Lu Dingying asked: "Oh, the internal friction between the Shushui Kingdom and the imperial court was destroyed by Zhuanjian Villa and Xing Zhen and others. Do the national teacher have other means?"

Chonghu smiled calmly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, eating a piece of chess piece is not something that can be completed by one piece, but it is surrounded step by step."

"Just like this chess game, the chess pieces of Shushui Kingdom have not really surfaced. In less than three years, I, Dalu, only sent 30,000 troops to take down Shushui Kingdom in one fell swoop."

Chonghu didn't say more in detail, and Lu Dingying didn't ask much. He had absolute trust in this national teacher.

Pointing to the north corner of the chessboard, he asked, "Is this Beiliang?"

The national master nodded and explained: "Beiliang may be slow or fast. Everything is an unknown number, and it is difficult for me to confirm now."

Lu Dingying highly recognized: "Slowness is because of the rise of the Northern Wilderness, and fastness depends on the movements of the Northern Xinjiang."

Regarding this place, the two hit it off. Then Chonghu pointed to the east corner.

"This is the number one enemy of the Great Sui Dynasty, our Great Lu Dynasty, and the hardest bone to crack."

"This game is the slowest, you need to have enough patience to waste with them. Your Majesty does not need to worry, it's just a matter of time. Sooner or later, it will be the flesh of my Dalu Dynasty."

You said and said, and you were a chessboard, and the two of them defined the general direction of Longxingzhou.

Lu Dingying was excited and asked two questions: "Why don't you understand the west side? Behind us, can they settle the Sword Sect? What if the Sword Sect intervenes?"

Chonghu explained: "It is no longer worth worrying about being close to several small countries to the west. On the contrary, the vassal king Lu Dingpo was the biggest concern."

"He is waiting for us to attack other countries and his strength will be consumed before he can move."

"Fortunately, he waited for an opportunity to help us guard the western gate of the Dalu Dynasty."

"It's not too late to deal with him when we're around us."

Lu Dingying was still worried: "Will Lu Dingpo take the opportunity to rise when we started war with the Great Sui Dynasty?"

Chonghu showed a sinister smile: "Before the war with the Great Sui Dynasty, the vassal king Lu Dingpo must be destroyed first. As for his capital of Xicheng, it will take no more than one soldier."

"Your Majesty will understand the specific matters when it falls. Please rest assured that your Majesty can give it to the old ministers with full authority."

Lu Dingying smiled brilliantly: "Where is the last Sword Sect?"

Chonghu pointed to the south outside the chessboard and said, "After the battle of the Demon Cave, the strength of the Sword Sect was greatly reduced. With the few remaining strength, it's time to start preparing for the cliff of Wanghai."

"There will be a free land within Longxingzhou. As long as there is no big bloody storm, the Sword Sect will be unable to intervene."

Lu Dingying reminded: "There is another Cailuan Academy?"

Chonghu was quite dismissive: "Cailuan Academy is closer to Wanghai Cliff, so your Majesty can rest assured."

It is also a dynasty, the Northern Territory of the United Kingdom has also taken action at this moment.

Inside the golden tent, a huge sand table covers all the Northern Liang and most of the Northern Xinjiang.

In the center was a man wearing a golden fox fur, and the other ten were all wearing cotton robes.

The fox fur men are full of heroic spirit in middle age, and most of the remaining ones are old men with gray hair and beard.

The old men pointed to the counties and counties bordering Northern Liang and Northern Xinjiang, and spitted and argued endlessly.

Some people say that starting from Yucheng County, the weakest, is easy to succeed. After joining the army, you can drive straight into the hinterland of Beiliang.

It is also said that the attack from Qiuluo County, which has the longest border line, is suitable for launching a large-scale charge and can better exert the strength of the military and military in the northern border.

There are also people who say that Tiesigu County, which has a warm relationship with the northern border, may the county magistrate surrender without fighting.

There is also saying that since Goujun, which repeatedly invaded the Northern Territory, launched an attack, they were just a group of bandits. They had no combat power.

There are also old guys in Zhengtong County, Caoyi County and Lianghan County, which are not strong enough, and there are also old guys who point fingers at each other and don’t intend to let go.

These old guys include the prime minister of the Northern Xinjiang Dynasty and the first-rank official of the six ministers of the Shangshu.

There are also chiefs of the top five tribes in the northern border, all of whom can influence the direction of the northern border dynasty.

These high-ranking officials in the temple are polite on weekdays and look humble when they meet each other.

Now that the argument is now, there is nothing left. The quarrel is red, the parents and wives are all kinds of dirty words.

There were also two old men who were trembling when walking, rolled up their sleeves and pinched them together.

Only one thing remains quite consistent, leaving Wangye County, which borders northern borders, and collectively chooses to turn a blind eye.

The tent was full of chaos, and the man in golden fox fur wrapped his hands and watched coldly.

An eunuch tiptoed to the man and whispered: "Your Majesty, do you want to calm these adults first?"

Seeing the man in the fox fur slowly shook his head, the eunuch was not talking much, and he stepped back and left the man's side.

However, these ministers did not know at all, and the more they quarreled, the more fierce they became. The fight changed from one pair to two pairs, and the others wanted to continue to join.

The emperor of the Northern Xinjiang Dynasty, Nurlie, shook his head slightly: "It's still the national teacher who is smart. I expect this situation today. Let me escape in advance and leave me alone here to suffer."
