Chapter 181 "It's settled" Zuo Yuanfeng raised his head and glanced at his son standing in front of him.
He just asked and then lowered his head to look at a large map spread out on the table.
"Yes, it's settled.
The imperial meeting will be held in four days."
Zuo Chi approached and looked down at the map on his father's desk, and replied calmly.
"As expected."
After listening, Zuo Yuanfeng saw that the date set by Zuo Chi was no different from what he had guessed, so he nodded and said.
"This is a map of the North" Zuo Chi looked at the outline on the map.
The drawn terrain and markings looked like the northern border of Xining, so he asked doubtfully.
Zuo Yuanfeng nodded, but still said without raising his head to look at Zuo Chi: "That's right, it's the map of the Northern Territory.
In recent days, the Northern Territory has been a bit unsettled, and the Emperor is going to let me go on a patrol."
"Which clan is the foreign invasion?"
Zuo Chi asked after hearing this.
"Look," Zuo Yuanfeng pointed to a place on the map and said to Zuo Chi: "This is a valley five hundred miles away from the northern city wall.
There is news that there are Hui Qiang people there recently."
"Hui Qiang people" Zuo Chi immediately asked doubtfully.
Zuo Yuanfeng frowned and straightened up, looked at Zuo Chi, nodded and said in a deep voice: "Yes, you also know that there are many foreign races in our Xining border, especially in the northern border.
However, due to the continuous growth of the Xining dynasty, all the foreign races in the northern border do not pay easy tribute except for the annual routine tribute.
It’s close to the northern border, not to mention the range of activities of the Hui Qiang people, which is only five hundred miles away from the northern border.”
"But there is some inside information coming," Zuo Chi couldn't help but thought to himself when he saw this.
Zuo Yuanfeng shook his head and said: "It's the lack of them that makes my father uneasy.
I got the news that there are not many Hui Qiang people.
According to guesses, there are only a thousand people.
Although this number is not enough to make me take it seriously, there is one thing.
I do care a lot.”
Zuo Chi nodded understandingly and continued what Zuo Yuanfeng said: "What you care about is what they're here for."
Zuo Yuanfeng nodded, frowned and looked at the topographic map of the valley where the Hui Qiang people were stationed on the map, but did not speak.
Seeing this, Zuo Chi also lowered his head and looked more carefully at the valley where Zuo Yuanfeng's finger was pointing before.
After looking for a long time, Zuo Chi suddenly discovered something.
He actually reached out and turned the map around, looking at it more carefully.
Seeing his son acting like this, Zuo Yuanfeng frowned and stood in front of Zuo Chi.
Silence.
Based on Zuo Yuanfeng's understanding of his son, Zuo Chi must have discovered something strange when he looked like this.
Although Zuo Yuanfeng never wanted his son to develop into the military, Zuo Chi had been influenced by it since he was a child.
He is also no stranger to this map, which is extremely familiar to those who march and fight.
really.
The more Zuo Chi looked at it, the more he frowned.
Apparently there was something special that shocked Zuo Chi.
"But what did you find?"
Zuo Yuanfeng asked.
Zuo Chi did not answer immediately, but carefully looked at the terrain outline of the valley again.
As if after confirming something, he raised his head and looked at Zuo Yuanfeng and said: "Father, this map is wrong.
It should be the valley you pointed out just now.
I have seen it before."
"You have seen it, but this kind of map is rarely drawn on other maps.

But it is possible that you have seen it in other places."
Zuo Yuanfeng was a little surprised at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that Zuo Chi might have accidentally seen the terrain outline of the valley somewhere, but it must not be of any help to what he was worrying about.
Unexpectedly, Zuo Chi shook his head and said: "Father, I can't say yet what the Hui Qiang people's intentions are in moving around that valley, but one thing I can tell you for sure right now is that this matter may have something to do with Deng Si'er."
"Deng Si'er, what do you mean by this?
How could it have anything to do with him?"
Zuo Yuanfeng was immediately surprised after hearing this.
"Father, I can't tell you yet, and I can't be distracted by this matter at this time.
When the matter I started now is completed, I will personally go to the north to investigate."
Zuo Chi said.
Zuo Yuanfeng was stunned when he heard this, then nodded with understanding and said: "Forget it, when the meeting is over, I will leave for the Northern Territory.
When your affairs here are over, you can go to the Northern Territory to join me."
Zuo Chi nodded, looked at his father and said: "Father, there is something I need you to do me a favor with."
Zuo Yuanfeng was about to lower his head and look at the map again, but he didn't expect to hear Zuo Chi say this, so he looked up at Zuo Chi and said in surprise: "Why do you actually ask me for help in person?"
Although Zuo Chi is the only son of Zuo Yuanfeng and has a noble status, he has always been a loner.
Zuo Yuanfeng even knew that his son, after learning Kung Fu from Taoist Qingfeng, was very capable.
He could indeed accomplish common things easily by himself.
Even if he encountered any obstacles, he never needed help from others. .
There is no need to ask for help, and he never pays attention to the obstruction or flattery from all forces.
Therefore, this is how Zuo Chi got his name as the Iron-blooded God.
Now seeing Zuo Chi asking for his help without hesitation, Zuo Yuanfeng was surprised, but after all, he took his son's face into consideration and didn't say anything more.
He nodded directly and said: "Come and listen to what you have to say."
After hearing the words, Zuo Chi thought for a moment and then said: "Four days later, that is, the day of the great court meeting, we will ask my father to enter the palace before us."
Zuo Yuanfeng was surprised when he heard this and said: "How to say this"
"Father, you don't know something.
I went into the palace to report to the emperor, and finally went to the harem to pay respects to the empress dowager.
When I came out, I found someone from Xiaoren Palace following me."
Zuo Chi said.
"Xiaoren Palace, you mean Concubine Song" Zuo Yuanfeng understood immediately after hearing this and asked with a frown.
Zuo Chi nodded and saw that his father already understood, so he said calmly: "I wonder if Concubine Song has received some information about our plan, or received some instructions from Song Yuqiu.
Otherwise, Concubine Song has never had any contact with our Anguo Hou Mansion.
How could she suddenly send someone to follow me?
" "Have you caught that person?"
Zuo Yuanfeng asked.
"No, it is always not good to take action easily in the palace, not to mention that person is someone close to Concubine Song.
Moreover, I also want to see their next reaction."
Zuo Chi shook his head and said softly.
Zuo Yuanfeng knew that his son had always had his own opinions, so when he saw this, he stopped saying anything and asked: "Then you let me enter the palace as early as possible on the day of the imperial meeting, yes" Zuo Chi nodded and said: "Yes, the reason why I let you enter the palace early is to let you, father, delay the emperor from seeing Concubine Song before the meeting, lest she say anything detrimental to us."
Zuo Yuanfeng raised his eyebrows and looked at his son.
He didn't expect that the first time he asked for help was for him to be asked for help like this.
He couldn't help but feel helpless for a while, and then lowered his head and continued to look at the map on the table.
Seeing that his father agreed, Zuo Chi silently turned around and prepared to leave.
But I heard Zuo Yuanfeng's calm and majestic voice: "Since you have decided to do something, you have to do it beautifully.
You are my son, so you can't be timid like that little rat."
Zuo Chi didn't look back when he heard the words, but the corners of his mouth were slightly curved, and even his voice had a hint of disdain for the world: "This is natural":
