Rodo did not hesitate and said in a deep voice: "Follow me!" He flashed and led a few people to hide behind the pile of stones beside him.

The Heavenly Palace is a huge project, and the materials used are very large. Although the Heavenly Palace is beautifully built, the abandoned stones will not be cleaned for a while and cannot be piled up next to the Heavenly Palace. Instead, they are piled up nearby. Such abandoned stone piles can be seen everywhere around the Heavenly Palace.

"No, it's not the prince's cavalry!" Chu Huan hid behind the stone, and saw that although the cavalry was racing, the formation was neat, with ten cavalry being one horizontal lineup. Under the moonlight, when the cavalry approached, Chu Huan could see clearly that the cavalry on the horse were all red armor, and he couldn't help but say in a lost voice: "Yes... it's the Red Cavalry!"

Chibei Tuqi was famous all over the world. Although Chu Huan didn't know much about the Liaodong Iron Cavalry, he also knew that the Liaodong Chibei was the strongest cavalry corps today, and Chibei Tuqi was all red armored and red helmets.

Mei Niang frowned and said, "Brother Huan, Chi Bei Tuqi is Chi Lian Di's troops. They also pursued us under the order of the prince?"

"Chi Liandian should not obey the orders of the prince." Chu Huan shook his head and glanced at the queen sideways. He saw that the queen's eyes were closed and his face looked slightly pale. "He escaped from the Heavenly Palace, and now he doesn't know whether he is dead or alive."

"It seems that this cavalry is preparing to pick up Chi Liandian." Mei Niang whispered: "Chi Liandian must have expected that there will be a lot of disaster in Hexi..."

Chi Beitu rode a horse like a dragon and a man like a tiger, whizzing by, and disappeared into the night in a moment.

Seeing them leaving, Chu Huan was about to carry the queen on his back when he suddenly thought of something and said to Luo Duo: "Brother, can you untie the queen's acupoints first?"

Rodo shook his head.

Chu Huan was stunned, and Luo Duo explained: "It is not advisable to stay here for a long time. I will explain to you after going up the mountain!" Without saying much, Chu Huan had no choice but to carry the queen again and run to Mount Li in North.

...

...

The prince sent Xuanyuan Shao to lead the cavalry to chase Chu Huan and his party. Surrounded by the ministers, he returned to Juxian Palace with concern. Before the ministers had calmed down, someone had already come in to report: "Your Highness the Prince, outside the Heavenly Palace, you found the traces of Chibei's cavalry."

When the ministers heard this, they were shocked and all changed their color. The prince's face also darkened, "Where are they now? Are they coming to the Heavenly Palace?"

"They first walked around Wuping Prefecture City, and then walked back and forth near the Heavenly Palace, but they did not get close to the Heavenly Palace." The visitor reported: "Now he has gone southeast!"

Lin Yuanfang said angrily: "The Chi Bei Tuqi did not have the will of the prince, so he dared to steer in Hexi without any obstacles. He is really lawless. What do they want to do?"

Ma Hong bowed and said, "Your Highness, Chi Lixing's rebellious spirit has shown his intentions, Chi Bei's cavalry is even more indifferent to military law. I ask Your Highness to immediately mobilize troops to chase and suppress Chi Bei."

Zhou Ting frowned and said, "No!"

"Master Zhou said no?" Lin Yuanfang sneered: "Chi Bei is lawless in Hexi. Shouldn't he pursue and suppress him?"

Zhou Ting ignored Lin Yuanfang and said to the prince: "Your Highness, Chu Huan trespassed into the forbidden palace and held the queen hostage. I'm afraid it's difficult to turn back. As long as he fled back to the northwest, the northwest will be in chaos."

The prince looked cold and nodded slightly.

"Chilien Di's mind is hard to predict, and this time he entered the palace, it is also hard to distinguish between loyalty and treacherous." Zhou Ting said solemnly: "Chilien Di's rebellion for a day, so the court cannot claim to the outside world that he has rebelled, so there is no room for anything."

The prince asked, "What does Nayan mean?"

"Chimian Liandian is the empire's general. So far, he has not rebelled openly, and the soldiers and horses in Liaodong are also encircling and suppressing the Qingtian King in Hebei." Zhou Ting said seriously: "In this case, no matter what Chi Liandian thought, the court needs him to hold back the Qingtian King. If he is to be ordered to rebel against Chi Liandian at this moment, it will be harmful to the court without any example."

Xue Huaian bowed and said, "Your Highness, what Lord Na Yan said is very true. The Liaodong Army is currently being dragged in Fuhai. In this case, even if Chi Liandian has other intentions, he dare not openly rebel at this time. Since this is the case, the court can just shut up for a moment. What the court needs now is time and must not force Liaodong too quickly."

The prince said: "What the two lords say is very true."

Zhou Ting said again: "Your Highness's current priority is to stabilize Hexi. The current situation is that the southeast has fallen into the hands of the demons of Tianmen, and Luo'an Jingcheng has also been destroyed. There is no more peaceful place to the south of the Fen River."

The prince frowned, but looked at Zhou Ting sincerely and said, "Zhou Nayan, according to your opinion, what should we do next?"

"I dared to say that with the current situation, it is already difficult to turn Luo'an's capital. To recover the capital, you need to accumulate enough strength in the north." Zhou Ting said seriously: "Your Highness should take Hexi as the foundation and have jurisdiction over Anyi, Xishan, and Hujin. To calm the hearts of the people, gather wise men, accumulate money and grain, and recruit troops and horses. First, determine the north. As long as the north is pacified, you can go south to recover lost territory and restore the Qin Dynasty."

The prince's eyes lit up slightly, and he said, "What Na Yan means, ignore the Heavenly Gate Way for the time being?"

"The Tianmen Dao was initiated in the southeast, and the north was still suffering from the victims." Zhou Ting said: "Although the Tianmen Dao is pressing step by step, they are a group of monsters who have no long-term plans. They are just burning, killing, looting, they are civilians, but now they poison living beings. As far as I know, whenever the Tianmen Dao conquers a place, they will let the local people join the Tianmen Dao and obey the command, but they will not follow it, and they will abuse and kill. How can such a monster Dao have a long-term reason?"

"No," Xue Huaian nodded and said, "The demonic path of the Tianmen is like a locust. Wherever they pass, there are no chickens and dogs. They only know how to loot and do not produce. It will be fine if they have three or two years. After a long time, there is no food to eat, and they will definitely be defeated without attacking."

"Your Highness does not need to pass the Fen River to kill. You only need to station troops in the Fen River. If Tianmen Road cannot pass the Fen River, it will only become weaker." Zhou Ting said: "Now the south is not an urgent matter. Instead, it is necessary to integrate the north. As long as the north is pacified, the south will eventually be a flash in the pan. Although there are many bandits in each road to become kings, such as Zheng Taicheng and Huang Sheng in Sichuan, they are just a group of bandits, with short-sighted eyes and limited geographical locations, so they can only dominate one side temporarily. If you want to go far, it is impossible. The Jiangnan gentry regardless of whether it is possible.

They will never support those bandits who are separating one side, and those who only want to separatist one side and become kings themselves. Your Highness doesn't have to pay attention to it. The world's general trend is to survive if it advances, and they will die if it comes. They have no strength to advance, so they can only defend one side alone. They are destined to be unable to achieve great things. Instead, they attack and kill each other for small profits. After Yuan Buyi's death in Jinling, the generals under their command fell apart and each became kings. How can these people accomplish great things? Without His Highness sending troops to suppress them, they will be destroyed by their own murder."

The prince sneered, "It's just some clowns who jump, and it's not worth fearing."

"What Your Highness needs to pay attention to most now is the northwest and Liaodong." Zhou Ting frowned and said, "Although the northwest is barren, since its founding, the northwest gentry has not completely won their hearts. Chu Huan won consecutive battles in the northwest and issued the order to rest for the people, occupying the right time, place, and people. Moreover, the people in the northwest are brave and brave in fighting. Moreover, Chu Huan has traded with Xiliang, traded salt horses, and strengthened his arms. Once the time goes by, it will cause great trouble."

Lin Yuanfang couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Your Highness, Chu Huan mines new salt in the northwest. The salt roads are everywhere outside the pass, and the daily wages of gold are used. If this continues, the barren situation in the northwest will no longer exist." His eyes turned and he said, "In my opinion, the most important thing at the moment is to seal Xigu Pass and cut off Chu Huan's connection with the pass. In this way, the new salt cannot enter the pass, and the food in the pass cannot be transported to the northwest. There is a shortage of food in the northwest. At that time, the hungry people will inevitably raise trouble one after another. Chu Huan wants to gain a foothold in the northwest, so it will be impossible."

The prince thoughtfully and said, "What Lord Lin said is not bad. If Xigu Pass is sealed, there are eight hundred miles of Beiling as a natural barrier. Chu Huan's Northwest Army cannot enter the pass, and it is a turtle in the jar."

When Lin Yuanfang saw the prince's praise, he immediately felt spirited and said, "Da Xizhang, the governor of Xigu Pass, is the emperor's commander of the pass. He is loyal to the court. With the prince's order, Da Xizhang will definitely block Xigu Pass. As far as the prince uses an order, Da Xizhang will definitely block Xigu Pass. As far as I know, many people in the pass have to avoid the war, and there are many gentry in the pass. If they leave the pass and go to the northwest, they will not only increase the population in the northwest, but also bring a large number of supplies, which will harm the court without any benefit. Once Xigu Pass is blocked, they will not be able to go to the northwest, so they can only come to the north, and Chu Huan cannot continue to trade with the pass, killing two birds with one stone."

"What a great plan to remove firewood from the cauldron, it's extremely wonderful!" Ma Hong praised: "Your Highness, Linbutang is the best strategy."

The prince looked calm, "Nayan, what do you think of what Lord Lin said?"

Zhou Ting hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly: "What Lord Lin said is not without reason."

Xue Huaian frowned and said, "The people of Xiliang invaded the northwest. The northwest was deserted and refugees were everywhere. They have not yet recovered. The northwest has a shortage of food. If Xigu Pass is blocked, Chu Huan will not be able to trade with the pass, but this will also make it worse for the northwest and the people will have no food to eat. At that time, many people will starve to death."

Ma Hong immediately said: "Mr. Xue is pleading for Chu Huan?"

Xue Huaian has always been a good man. He did not easily make enemies with others in the court and was easy-going. At this time, he heard Ma Hong's aggressiveness and felt a little angry. He said in a deep voice: "What does Lord Ma mean? Why do you plead for Chu Huan? Although Chu Huan betrays the court, it does not mean that all the people in the northwest are traitors. Blocking Xigu Pass means cutting off the way for the people in the northwest. Since Xue is a minister of the Qin Dynasty, can't he consider the millions of people in the northwest?"

Lin Yuanfang snorted coldly and said, "They support Chu Huan, and they are traitors, and there is no doubt about rebellion. If they are sincerely loyal to the court, they should strangle Chu Huan to death. As long as Chu Huan dies, Xigu Pass can be opened. Lord Xue is now considering that the people in the northwest have no food to eat. Even if Xigu Pass is really opened and let the food enter the northwest, Chu Huan cannot be used to help the victims. They will only treat it as military rations and start a rebellion. In this way, wouldn't it be a disaster for raising a tiger?"

Xue Huaian turned his face away, looked angry and ignored it.

The prince said lightly: "You are ministers in the same palace, and each express your opinions. They are all planning for the country, so there is no need to argue." Suddenly, he thought of something and asked: "What about your father now?"

The back garden was in a mess, but the queen was held hostage. Everyone had no time to take care of it, so they only sent a few people to guard the garden. At this time, the prince mentioned it, and everyone suddenly remembered that the prince had turned his wheelchair and headed to the back hall of Juxian.
