The atmosphere in Li Valve's mansion was extremely heavy, all the servants were gathered in the inner courtyard, at the gate of the outer courtyard, except for an old man sitting on the brown-red Taishi chair, there was no one empty, the old man looked at the drizzle and evil flying, the ground was full of fallen leaves and flowers, the once illustrious Li family, just like the rain in the south of the Yangtze River in front of him, blowing, without a trace

"Mrs. Li, you old thing, get out of the way for me!" An old woman with a cold head and a pearl crown appeared at the corner of the corridor, and staggered to the door, the old woman's face was graceful and noble, and her face was seven or eight points similar to Li Yuehua, and several maids of the Li family were so frightened that they stood far away, not daring to move forward,

Sitting firmly on a purple Taishi chair, the old prime minister Mrs. Li who was sitting with her back against the gate could only smile bitterly, and when other people in the clan came, she could stare back with one look, but the bed-haired wife who had been in the wind and rain for decades, it was useless to puff up her eyes, Li Yuehua was leaving, Mrs. Li already knew in advance, the turmoil in the court, the Li family suppressed the court for decades, and finally showed sharp teeth to the Li family, All kinds of rumors have been spread throughout the city of Hangzhou, Li Valve had to put on a closed-door thanks, put on a posture of respectful reflection, although Li Yuehua still has the identity of an imperial envoy, but that arrogance, how could he be insulted like this,

"What are you doing here!" The person outside is no longer the Li family, and you can't open the door for her" Mrs. Li's face was cold, and the corners of her mouth snorted heavily

"She's my daughter, even if it's not the Li family! You old thing, others are pointing at the Li family's nose in the court and scolding, you just have to hide as a shrinking turtle, and now your daughter is coming to resign, you are standing upright, you are afraid of what others will say. I'm not afraid, you get out of the way" The old woman walked to the door, and was about to lift the door bar on the door, and groped for more than ten seconds, but she couldn't lift it at all, the door bar seemed to be fused with the door, and if you looked closely, it really melted together,

"Mrs. Li!" The old woman's eyes widened angrily, and she turned to look at Mrs. Li angrily, "No need to make any effort!." The door bar was nailed to death by my order!"

Mrs. Li glanced at her old wife, and sighed helplessly, this wife is not easy to deal with, the real tiger girl who married back was a stubborn temper, her hands were very heavy, and she had a ruthless force, she had hunted a mountain bear alone at the age of sixteen, and she made a bed with mountain bear skin on the wedding night. But after he scared himself half to death, after he became the head of the family, this back hall became this woman's hunting ground, who dared to disagree. Let's beat it up first, if it weren't for that, how could I sit firmly in the first place of the Li valve woman, and make the Li family domineering and domineering. I made a mistake, and I was so scared that I was shaking like a sieve, and I didn't say anything. I'm afraid that I will find a sharp axe to smash the door open.

Mrs. Li's voice paused, her face was unusually calm, and she said in a condensed voice, "If Yuehua is a man, if you want to keep her in Zhongbia, I won't say a word, but she is a woman, staying in Zhongbiya will only hurt her, this time the emperor seems to have let go of the Li family, but it is for most families to see, in fact, the palace is already arranging in secret, and the emperor wants to be a concubine from Xinnayuehua!"

"Na Yuehua concubine?"

The old woman's face was stunned for a moment, her eyes looked at Mrs. Li in astonishment, the corners of her mouth showed a touch of sarcasm, and she said disapprerovitously, "Isn't this just with your mind? If it wasn't for the Zhang clan making trouble inside last time, Yuehua would have been a concubine at this moment! If you can enter the palace as a concubine this time, won't your Li family be able to prosper for decades?"

"It's not what it used to be, the last time I entered the palace, my Li family was like the middle of the day, and my phoenix must be a phoenix!" Mrs. Li looked at the rain falling like white silk threads in the sky, and said in a cold voice, "But this time when I entered the palace, it wasn't a phoenix that was singing nine nights, I'm afraid that the phoenix with falling feathers was not as good as a chicken, and it was called a concubine, but it was actually a hostage."

"In that case, the other families ......," the old woman asked hesitantly

"Marrying a concubine is a good thing for many third- and fourth-grade families, and the wealthy families have died so much in the imperial capital, so they naturally need a new wealthy family to go up!" The grace of the Son of Heaven, I don't know how many people are looking forward to it, as long as there is news in the palace, these little families will naturally move, if you want to enter the palace, there will be a palace, and if you want to let the emperor see it as soon as you enter the palace, it is naturally indispensable to give money up and down, as long as the emperor likes it, an edict, the door level will be immediately improved, and it will work better than any merit, those who are already second-grade families, and want their daughters not to enter the palace to avoid choosing concubines, they also have to pay money to make a point, these money add up, it is not a small number!" For the emperor, choosing a concubine is just one or two hundred more women in the palace, what does it matter, they are all beauties, whether they like it or not, it is not bad to look pleasing to the eye, the problem is that the families behind these women are all rich people, how many families have hoarded wealth for many years, and the money spent in the palace is no less than a war" "The ultimate loser is naturally the target of the emperor's knife, and invisibly, the financial difficulties of the empire are also spread on the heads of various families!" The empire's financial resources are close to exhaustion, and there are so many possessions brought from the imperial capital, large-scale repairs to the palace, nearly 200,000 soldiers, equipment and equipment, large sums of money spent, and the dispatch of the Luzhou army is already the emperor's own private treasury, the Luzhou army was defeated in Yanzhou, and more than 20,000 people were killed and injured and needed to be appeased and compensated, which is a lot of money" Mrs. Li's voice stopped and continued. Originally, I wanted to wait for the quarterly tax revenue of the Dijing Plain to be alleviated, but the grassland people went south to the Dijing Plain, and I was afraid that the taxes would not be collected, and the emperor's idea was to find a way from the wealthy family, and the best way was naturally to marry a concubine."

"Marrying a concubine is so rich!"

The old woman's face was shocked, although she didn't know what the relationship between marrying a concubine and the empire's finances and taxes was, but she still knew about her old man, this time she suddenly announced her farewell to the prime minister, and completely ignored the attack on the court, this is not like the old man's style, unless there is really a huge danger coming, otherwise the old man will not back down, decades of wind and rain, Mrs. Li can cover the sky in the court with one hand, there is never a shortage of opponents to challenge, that one, not the end of Mrs. Li to play to death! The old woman looked sluggish. "This kind of thing, the emperor has not done it, last time if it wasn't for the Zhang family to take out a large amount of money to fill the financial hole, how could my phoenix be excluded! Similarly, if it weren't for the Zhang family leaking the foundation of the huge wealth, how could the emperor give a death order, and if the Zhang family fought to the death in Beijing, there would be a group of orphans and widows left, for the sake of the dead Zhang family men, in order not to be affected by the fiasco of the imperial capital, up and down. All I got was some titles, and most of the money naturally fell into the emperor's pocket" Mrs. Li smiled bitterly at the corner of her mouth, her beard trembled slightly, her fingers suddenly clenched tightly together, and the sound of a carriage driving outside the door came, and gradually faded away, Mrs. Li tried hard to listen, but in the end it became silent.

"You're lying to me!Get out of the way, I'm going to open the door!"

The old woman seemed to notice something, and she was angry, and she also knew that she had fallen for Mrs. Li. Husband and wife for decades, who still doesn't know whom, Mrs. Li rarely tells her this, the dirt and weirdness in the court. The wind and waves are surging, and it has always been said that there is a man from the Li family to carry it, but today. It's rare to say so much, this old thing, dragging time!

"Let's go, my phoenix is gone! If you want the Li family's bloodline to die, go chase it!"

Mrs. Li stood up from the Taishi's chair, took out an axe from behind the Taishi's chair, bent down and placed it on the edge of the door, and walked into the inner hall without heading." Since the emperor has made up his mind to marry a concubine, he will naturally not let go of the Li family, Yuehua is gone, and there are other Li family women, such as Li Long's daughter Li Qingyan, who is sixteen years old, beautiful and beautiful, and is known as the Li family's heavenly fragrance, and chose Li Long as the future head of the Li family, not necessarily as it is rumored outside, the Li family wants to throw away the literature and follow the martial arts, but if the Li family wants to preserve, they must put themselves in a position that makes the emperor feel absolutely at ease!"

Wuling Slope

The morning sun rises, the dawn of the morning light shines from the edge of the yellow earth, and gradually illuminates the land in front of the rivers, mountains, plains, and forests, as if it has been washed by a layer of gold, the rivers and mountains in front of him are picturesque, Yang Zi, the general of Zhongbia, rode on a war horse, looking at the land in front of him, a black line, is heading in the direction of Wuling Slope, the queue is rolling, like a black sweep across the earth, the smoke and dust raised by the horse's hooves cover the sky in front, that is the cavalry of the grassland army, countless cavalry is like a huge fan touching the mountain extension of the Wuling Slope uplift, a team began to stop,

The morning breeze blows, the scale armor on the steppe people rattles as if in the ears, the cavalry of the steppe people is lined up in a long line, shining with metallic luster under the golden light of the sun, the dense cavalry queue is still emerging in the distance, it looks like a wall that suddenly appeared in the hilly area, after the cavalry arrived, there began to be infantry, these infantry have been draped in armor, and the weapons in their hands are all kinds of weapons, but they are all heavy weapons, two-handed axes, maces, long-handled spike guns, Yang Zi's eyebrows are tightly twisted together, how can he not see it, these are all Zhongbia weapons, most of the grassland people are scimitars, occasionally equipped with bayonets, There is no such systematic infantry combat weapon at all, "When will the reinforcements from the imperial capital arrive?" Yang Zi waved the horsewhip in his hand heavily, and angrily asked the adjutant behind him, "The messenger has been dispatched, and it should be available before noon!" The adjutant replied respectfully. According to the scout's report, the grassland army crossed Surabaya, and did not rush forward, but stayed in the Surabaya River beach for five days, during this time, the main force of the grassland army arrived in Surabaya, waiting for the reinforcements all passed Surabaya, the grassland army slowly advanced, at this time, the grassland army, the strength of the army has also increased from the beginning of the front army of 50,000, to the current total strength of 110,000" "110,000!"

Yang Zi's face changed, and the hand holding the horsewhip tightened unconsciously, it would be good if the horse gun team was still there, Yang Zi now regrets that he lost Surabaya too hastily, if Surabaya is still in his hands, the grassland people will never gather so many troops so easily, and they will overwhelm them in front of them in one breath, and in the blink of an eye, the number of the grassland army has doubled, and the cavalry cluster of 100,000 scales, if the attack is forced, even if it is a terrain like Wulingpo, it will feel the pressure!

"My lord, the terrain of Wuling Slope is dangerous, and the grassland people should not attack it!" The adjutant has no bottom in his heart, although this Wuling Slope is a slope, in fact, it is more appropriate to call it the edge of the mountain range, the Dijing Plain of Pingchuan, here in Wuling, and the falling cliff mountain range that crosses it collided together, forming such a gradually rising slope, the only road that can pass through the slope has been stuck by the Sino-Belgian army,

Under the support of the huge slope, the Sino-Belgian army that stuck the road built layers of barricades, and also used mountain stones to build a stone wall as high as three meters at the top of the slope, staring at the plain below, spears such as forests, battle flags like blood, from time to time you can see a huge catapult bow being pushed to the front of the camp, a typical one-man when the top ten thousand people are not open, the problem is that the disparity in strength is really a bit big, 30,000 to 110,000, the other party is the grassland army that can dismount and fight on foot, if it is really ruthless, Wuling Slope may not be able to break through, now I can only pray that the reinforcements from the imperial capital can arrive in time,

In the distance, a group of steppe cavalry jumped up a slope, and Yeluguda pointed to the area in front of him that seemed like a huge slope and bulge, and the passage road that seemed so small, and said with an excited expression, "Father, there is Wuling Slope in front! 80,000 light horsemen and 30,000 foot soldiers, as long as they can break through the barricades stacked by the Zhongbians, they can launch an all-out attack!" Yelu Hongtai glanced at the Wuling Slope where the Zhongbiya military flag was full of mountains in the distance, and turned his head to look at the Yelu Seven Night Light behind him, more than ten imperial thunder gods were being pushed up this slope by the grassland people, and more than a dozen frightened Zhongbiya soldiers were also pushed up by the grassland military knife, "Spare your life, everything that should be said has been said, we really haven't hidden it!"

A Central Belgian soldier cried and knelt on the ground, and the other Central Belgian soldiers were also leaning on a ball in fear, looking at the scimitars around them, their faces were frightened, they were all inexplicably captured, they were all soldiers responsible for operating the Imperial Thor, and they were trained by the empire for a short period of time, one person only fired one shot, and then accompanied Thor to the front line, only knew the most basic operations, and had no experience, after losing Thor, he was really filled in by Yang Zi as a logistics soldier, and was easily made out by the infiltrated Night Tan Ancient Disc, because the time was too tight, it took several days to catch these soldiers, and the movement of the Sino-Belgian Army, so that the Prairie Army can not be delayed

Yelu Hongtai decided that the Thor test shot was placed on the battlefield, just in Wulingpo, in addition to the dozen or so Zhongbiya soldiers, there were more than 30 grassland soldiers who were also watching the operation of the Zhongbiya people attentively.

Yelu Qiyeguang gestured behind him, and a steppe sergeant pointed to a already placed Thor and said in proficient Middle Bia, "In a group of three, whoever can launch will live" This is the first shot of the Imperial Thor in the battlefield of Central Belgium, when the trembling and towering soldiers of Central Belgium roughly stuffed the Thor bullet into the barrel of Thor, roughly estimated the distance, the soldiers behind raised the muzzle of the Thunder God towards the sky, in front of the direction of the Sino-Biya military flag fluttering, the grassland people only asked them to be able to fight out, and did not ask for anything else, just shoot it! The Chinese soldiers lit the gunpowder fuse with torches, and the sound of Zizi like a snake spitting a letter came,

Yelu Hongtai stood no more than thirty meters away from the god of thunder, looking at the line of fire ignited by gunpowder, the red dazzle, his hands unconsciously clenched into fists, the power of the imperial god of thunder, he was just Yelu Qiyeguang said, is it really that powerful?

"Boom" The huge roar made Yelu Hongtai's body tremble slightly, and the horsewhip in his hand fell to the ground at once, and the surrounding steppe people were so frightened that they fell off their horses, only to see a firelight gushing out from the muzzle of Thor's cannon, the pungent smell of sulfur, an arc of light marks crossed in the void, and the base wheel of Thor moved backwards heavily on the dirt platform, pushing out a huge trace, "Boom" As if in response, at the location of the landing point, the red light ball rolled up, the object flew up, and under the stunned gaze of everyone, the military flag of Zhongbia flew into the sky.
