Yang Xuan boasted that he could compete with the most cunning beasts in the mountains in terms of intelligence, and that he could thrive in the complex environment of northern Xinjiang like a fish in water. However, in a small city in the Southern Zhou Dynasty, he was fooled by a minister of the Ministry of Rites.

The old thief looked at the kings on horseback, thinking about various ideas on how to kill this man, "Mr. Lang, wait until night to do it."

"What good will it do us if he dies?"

"Too."

The old thief was a little depressed, "Yuan Xiao took the blame for him."

"When did he start planning this?" Qin Jian asked.

Cheng Ran chuckled, "There were many casualties among the young men in the city in this battle. The king ordered Yuan Xiao to distribute the pension, but afterwards there was an uproar in the city, saying that the payment was insufficient..."

"Yuan Xiao is corrupt?" someone asked.

Cheng Ran shook his head, "He has stains all over his body in this battle, how can he dare to be corrupt? This must have been done to him by the Young Master Wang..."

"He has been planning to make Yuan Xiao take the blame since then." Qin Jian understood, and took another look at Cheng Ran, thinking that Jiang was still hotter with age.

"But he was also quite unbearable in this battle. I also thought about how to escape the blame for him. After much thought, the best way was to take the initiative to plead guilty. But I never expected that this person would chop off one of his own limbs with a knife.

Toes.”

Your Majesty, it’s not that I don’t work hard... I fought bloody battles, but one of my toes was cut off, and I can’t move easily!

Tsk tsk!

"He is a cruel person!"

Qin Jian had a question, "Why is he not so fierce when fighting?"

Everyone was silent and unable to answer.

Yang Xuan said calmly: "That fierceness is directed at the inside, but it is as soft as cotton to the outside."

Everyone couldn't help but feel happy when they thought of the preferential treatment they received along the way.

On the second day, we still have one day to go from Bianjing.

After lunch, everyone either took a nap or went for a walk.

Wang Laoer and Tu Shang were basking in the sun under the eaves, while the old thief and Yang Xuan were taking a walk.

"Lang Jun, the ruthless man is here." The old thief looked back.

Wang Zhong limped over and said with a smile: "The spring scenery is beautiful!"

"Yes!" Yang Xuan smiled.

The old thief resigned.

"Is something wrong?" Yang Xuan later put himself in his shoes and thought about it. If it were him, would he have cut off his toes so decisively? I'm afraid it would be difficult.

He would always stay away from ruthless people.

The kings didn't seem to notice the look on his face. "I'm very busy. If you have nothing to do, you can go and enjoy yourself." He followed with his hands behind his back and said softly: "I know what your envoy saw."

"I didn't see anything." Yang Xuan didn't want to get involved in this mess.

"The main enemy of the Tang Dynasty is the Northern Liao Dynasty. It is a joke to raise a large army to attack the Southern Zhou Dynasty. Your envoy should know it."

"Yeah?"

"We, the Southern Zhou Dynasty, may seem weak, but there is one thing we cannot compare to the Tang Dynasty."

"rich?"

"Your Majesty has great views and money! There are people who, even if they lose a battle, can still fight again and keep fighting... Will Beiliao just sit back and watch?"

Yang Xuan smiled.

"What if the Tang Dynasty falls into the Southern Zhou Dynasty and cannot extricate itself, and the Northern Liao Dynasty sends troops?"

The kings bowed their hands and said, "I have never said these words before. Take my leave."

Qin Jian yawned and walked out of the room. When he saw this, he came over. Looking at Wang Zhong's limping back, he asked, "What did he say?"

"I owe him a favor."

What Wang Zhong said was the national policy of the Southern Zhou Dynasty in dealing with the Tang Dynasty.

"Favor?"

"Old Qin."

"exist!"

"Southern Zhou Dynasty had money, food, and people."

"yes!"

"If the Tang Dynasty sent troops to attack and defeated them, Southern Zhou could use money and food to send out another army, and keep attacking... and smash the Tang Dynasty into the muddy pond of Southern Zhou."

"Then Bei Liao will send troops according to the trend, and the Tang Dynasty will be in turmoil!"

"That's right."

"Hiss! This is so arrogant!"

"This is also the reason why Southern Zhou dared to intervene in the rebellion in southern Xinjiang!"

"Just make Gao Jian."

"hehe!"

Yang Xuan did not say that these were Wang Zhong's words.

Back in Bianjing, everyone felt relieved.

"I have met your noble envoy."

A smiling chamberlain was waiting outside the city.

Yang Xuan dismounted, and the chamberlain saluted, "I heard that your envoy was frightened this time, and your Majesty is uneasy, so let us come and take a look."

"fine."

Yang Xuan didn't know what kind of medicine Nian Xu was selling in the gourd.

"May I ask your envoy if anyone was rude this time?"

A thought suddenly popped into Yang Xuan's mind: Nian Xu was angry.

The envoy from the Tang Dynasty saw the unbearable scene of the Southern Zhou Dynasty. What's more terrible is that the envoy from the Tang Dynasty saw the unbearable scene of the Southern Zhou Dynasty's imperial army. Nian Xu wanted to find someone to vent his anger.

It's useless to listen to Wang Zhong and others' self-complaints. The most objective thing is the mission.

The mission has caused trouble to Chi Yu this time, so they are very angry. In this way, they know best who is the most incompetent.

interesting!

Yang Xuan's eyebrows were filled with anger, "The Imperial Army is incompetent!"

The Forbidden Army of the Southern Zhou Dynasty was a huge system. If Nian Xu wanted to reform, Yang Xuan supported it with both hands...but he didn't know what big joke or big incident would happen.

"Haha!" The waiter laughed awkwardly.

"Also, who is that person this time..."

The waiter's ears twitched.

"Yuan Xiao? This person is extremely unbearable. He is greedy for life and afraid of death."

Yang Xuan nodded and prepared to enter the city.

The chamberlain asked, "Who else is there?"

Yang Xuan shook his head, "No."

Ahead, the kings turned back.

Yang Xuan nodded slightly.

I return your favor!

He could directly expose the kings, but the price would be to become the enemy of the Southern Zhou civil officials. If he leads the army to attack the Southern Zhou in the future, it will cause unnecessary trouble.

Moreover, Wang Zhong is good at exploiting camps and is greedy for life and afraid of death. It will be more beneficial to the Tang Dynasty to keep it.

The enemy's mediocrity, the higher the official position, the better!

Wang Zhong looked at him with squinted eyes and smiled brightly.

Just like this spring.

Yang Xuan turned his eyes and saw the two men on the edge of the city. Even though he lowered his head, he could still tell.

Yang Lue and He Cong!

Yang Xuan also laughed.

On that day, a banquet was given from the palace to the mission's residence, in order to calm the mission's panic.

The food was even better than the banquet in the palace.
