"You said you didn't report the news, but just lied in a hurry?"

In the guest room, Mi Huang, who was watching Chen Huang's recital, lifted up from the recital and looked down at the three wild dogs kneeling on the ground.

The wild dog knelt on the ground and kowtowed and pleaded, "Lady, the three villains don't know the current situation in the eastern suburbs, we are just workers on the docks in the eastern suburbs, and we are afraid of being caught in the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, so we hurriedly said that we came to report the news." ”

The fifth and eighth children also nodded again and again, "Yes, the villains are just workers working on the wharf in the eastern suburbs, and they are fortunate enough to see the princess from afar." ”

Not long after the wild dogs finished speaking, Huang Yuwei, who was sent to the eastern suburbs by Si Jian, also came back to report, "Tainu, Lord Cheng Youtu has not returned to the eastern suburbs yet, and Master Su is already ready to start the autumn harvest first." ”

"Cheng Youtu hasn't gone back yet?" asked Mi Huang.

"Yes! The last general didn't see Cheng Youtu, and Commander Huo and Master Su also said that Cheng Youtu's disciple hadn't returned to the eastern suburbs yet. The man came in with Si Jian and replied.

Hearing this, Mi Huang suddenly felt a little flustered, as if something bad was about to happen, making her heart beat inexplicably fast, no matter how slow she was returning to Yingdu from Jingling, such eight or nine days should have already arrived.

But so far he and Azhu have not returned.

The hand holding the zhu pen hovered over the note, shaking slightly, and the pen full of ink fell with a big "poof", and all the notes that Chen Huang had written in the morning were pasted.

When the secretary saw it, he shouted, "Lady, the song is dirty." ”

Mi Huang glanced down, and then quickly picked up the rag on the side and blotted it dry, but Song Jian was already dirty.

I couldn't help frowning.

The room was quiet at this time, only the wild dog and the fifth child rolled their eyes, and saw that Mi Huang didn't speak anymore, and he didn't know if he wanted to quit.

Looking at the frowning woman, I don't know why, the wild dog only felt that the woman in front of him suddenly seemed to have changed.

He couldn't help but shrink his neck.

Si Jian and the others were also surprised by the look of the princess at this time, so they said, "The princess, if I don't send someone to the eastern suburbs again, if the right disciple comes back, I will immediately send someone back to report the news." ”

At the same time, another hundred people will be sent out of the city to meet Cheng Youtu in the direction of Jingling. ”

"Yes!"

Si Jian took the person who came and left.

Mi Huang took the pen again, and quickly copied another piece and handed it to Si Qin with the note written by Chen Huang, and said, "Later, you will hand this over to Chen Tingli, and let him continue to investigate the case according to this." ”

Si Qin nodded and took the note in her hand, but accidentally touched her hand, and couldn't help exclaiming, "Lady, why are your hands suddenly so cold?

"It's fine. Let's go back to the palace. ”

Mi Huang waved his hand absentmindedly, and went straight out to the direction outside the gate of the Criminal Prison Division.

Si Qin quickly followed, and the wild dogs that were left in place strode away when they saw a few turns of the phoenix, and the two wide sleeves embroidered with phoenix wings were fluttering with the wind, like a phoenix fluttering in a hurry to take off, and the sky outside the door had just brightened, with a hint of chaos like light and darkness.

The woman's back blends in.

It's obscure, and it's quickly impossible to see.

The wild dog frowned at the fifth child and asked curiously, "Why do you say that the princess is so nervous when she hears that Cheng Youtu has not returned?"

"The thoughts of these big people, which we small people can guess at will. Let's go, Brother Dog, we're safe now!" said the fifth brother, hooking his shoulder.

The eighth also nodded.

Wild dogs think about it, it is true, and now it is important to save their lives.

The first rays of golden light of dawn crossed the Yingdu City Tower, and there was a team of ten heralds outside the north gate of the royal city, with black phoenix flags on their backs, all of them were dusty, their eyes were bloodshot, and their throats were hoarse and shouted to the big man on the city gate, "Hurry up and let go, we will be ordered by the horse to enter the palace to report the military situation!"

"Yes, yes, hurry up and open the door and let you go!"

The city gate had not been opened in the morning, and the half-asleep city gate Da Yu hurriedly called for people to open the door when he heard the sound, and the group quickly beat their horses through the north gate, stepped on the main city street, and shouted loudly while galloping: "Great victory! Great victory! The horse led Ruoao's six troops to defeat the Chen army in the Funiu Mountains, killing 15,000 enemies and annihilating the Chen army!"

Since entering the city, the heralds have been shouting all the way and running towards the palace of the king of Chu, and with the good news they have delivered, in less than two teas, the people of the whole city have known this exciting news.

The old man who had just gotten down at night was holding his bangzi and couldn't believe it, "The master of the horse won so quickly!"

"That's amazing!"

Even the ministers who were preparing to go to the court in the early morning heard the news while sitting on their horses, "The horse has won?!"

It is said that the horse defeated Chen Jun, it can't be true, right?

If this is really the case, plus the princess is about to give birth, if the little prince was really born when the horse defeated the Jin Kingdom, then the horse is afraid that no one can match it, the monarch's father, and the Chu State will be surnamed Mi or Ruoao?

"It's really a child!"

"Lord Ling Yin is really blessed!"

All the subjects cheered and thundered, and tens of thousands of people in the city shouted along the street with the heralds who passed by on horseback: "The horses are victorious! The state of Chu is invincible!"

In the past ten years, several battles with the north, the state of Chu has always taken a defensive-oriented attitude, so although Sun Hou has guarded Wancheng for 19 years, he has never only kept the Jin State or the northern coalition army out of Wancheng, and has never had such a great victory, how can the people of the imperial capital never think that this battle has only passed a month, the first battle against the Chen State, the Chu State won, and the Chen army was completely annihilated.

Although the state of Chen is small, it has always had the support of the Jin State behind it, so the state of Chu has to divide its troops in several places in the north, in addition to Wancheng and Shencheng and other places, to prevent the Jin state from attacking Chu through Chen and other northern allies, so it has never taken too much advantage of fighting against it.

However, in an hour, after countless word of mouth, everyone firmly believed that the horse would inevitably lead the Chu State to defeat the Jin State.

There is no doubt about this.

Outside, after hearing the good news of the heralds, the king of Chu slapped the golden chair and stood up excitedly, and praised, "Reward, great reward! All messengers will be rewarded with 100 gold!"

"Thank you, King!"

The little commander of the herald looked ecstatic when he heard this, and thanked Long En with a look of ecstasy.

"Come, give the widow a decree!" the king of Chu then said happily.

Ling Yin Zi looked at him, and the civil official standing behind him stepped forward to take a bamboo slip to make a record.

"Lonely's beloved son-in-law, Ziyan, Chu and Jin wars, Chu Chen's first victory, the establishment of the first merit, the few people are happy, from the heavy discussion of the award, the seal of a thousand families, the brocade silk, the first class marquis, hereditary replacement. ”

When the king of Chu said this, he rolled up his sleeves and said, "Also, if the horse makes another miraculous feat, and the widow rewards him again, if he defeats Zhao of the Jin State for the widow, the widow will seal him a ten thousand family city, and then give him a piece of Yugui, and then add a first-class duke!"

Standing on the top of the ninth-level jade steps, the King of Chu said happily, "Yes, it's just a first-class duke!"

The rewards are increasing.

When the ministers heard this, they were all shocked.

Since the establishment of the state of Chu, although it is very different from the north, it still follows the Zhou rites, King Wu established himself as the queen, under the king of Chu, divided into duke, marquis, uncle, son, male five lords, can be hereditary replacement, fief for the country, in the fief can exercise the right to rule, but so far in addition to the Marquis of Sun, the Marquis of Zhao, and the Marquis of Wu who died in the prison of the prison department in name only, are only marquises.

The duke only enjoyed this title reward when the first commander Yin Ruo Ao Ziwen and King Wu of Chu signed the "Double Ao Alliance", but he was pushed off by Ruo Ao Ziwen, and only received the rewards of Shu State, Zongguo, Chao State and other feudal countries, as a vassal state of Ruo Ao.

Looking at the state of Chu, if the horse was young and he was crowned a duke, it would be only one level lower than the king of Chu.

At that time, Ruo Ao's power was really going to be extremely prosperous.

Whether it is Li Lao or Ruo Ziliang, they are all excited.

On the other hand, Cheng Daxin, Chen Huang, and even Zhao Hou and others couldn't imagine that the Cheng clan without Cheng Jia was thrown off by Ruo Ao at once, and no matter how Cheng Jia wanted to catch up, I am afraid it would be impossible to defeat such a huge military feat that would go down in history.

But there were no surprises.

If the news of Ao Ziyan's victory had been received in advance yesterday, now he had just ordered someone to spread the news.

When the words of the king of Chu fell, he stepped forward, with an extremely panicked and uneasy expression, and said in a humble voice, "The king's love for Ziyan is too heavy, and the ministers are afraid that he will not be able to bear it when he is young, and he also asks the king to take back his life! ”

"Haha, awards, awards, awards!"

The King of Chu, who was standing on the ninth-level jade steps, laughed and waved his hand, "All the soldiers of the whole army will be crowned by one level!"

"You have a good son, and a widow has a good son-in-law. The position of a duke is nothing, as long as he is alive, as long as Ziyan can let the widow see the Jin State submit to my Chu State with his own eyes, let alone the duke, Lone must serve King Wu and Aiqing to share the three thousand miles of good rivers and mountains of my Chu State, and forever conclude the "Double Ao Covenant", and the monarch and ministers will be forever. At the same time, the king of Chu said proudly to his son, although the king of Chu at this time was still old, he was ambitious.

"Weichen Dai Ziyan thanked the king for his kindness. ”

Ling Yin Zi smiled when he heard this, and happily responded, "If I am the Ao clan, I will live up to the name of my ancestors and stick to my Chu country for thousands of generations!"

"Okay!Huang'er, you must also work together with Ziyan and his wife, so that your father will definitely see a broader Chu country in his lifetime, with a vast territory covering Kyushu, so that the lonely jade can set foot on the capital of Quwo in the Jin Kingdom!"

The King of Chu looked at the thirty-six Zhumen under the Hehezhu Palace, and the entire Jing Man, laughing loudly, "Hahaha, this will be a greater feat than the ancestors!"

"The sons and daughters thanked their fathers for their kindness and obeyed their father's orders. Hearing this, Mi Huang, who was sitting at the bottom of the head, slowly got up and went out of the queue and thanked him.

Ling Yin Zi smiled at her when he heard this, "If the princess and the concubine are harmonious, they must be the hope of the prosperity of my Chu country." ”

"That's what my father said. ”

The phoenix bowed his head again.

When he lowered his head, Emei was almost invisible and gently raised.

Ruo Zike stood down and watched this scene, stiffly tugging at the corners of his teasing mouth, but he was not as wanton as he smiled on weekdays.

A pair of fox-like eyes squinted, refracting a trace of cold light.

Ruo Ao Yuejiao stood outside the Golden Palace, holding Jin Ge, standing against the glimmer of the early morning, sprinkling layers of dark shadows on his three-dimensional facial features, and couldn't help sneering, "You are really lucky, first-class duke, if I am Ao Clan, I am afraid that there is no one before and no one in the future, I have this reward!"

The king of Chu was overjoyed.

The ministers naturally sang praises of virtue and shouted on the ground.

"Long live the king, God bless me Da Chu, and conquer Jin in one fell swoop!"

Hahaha......

A long series of loud laughter echoed in the sky above the golden hall of the Zhu Palace, making Yin Zi slowly stroke the green beard and chuckle, Ruo Ao Ziliang also looked excited, getting rid of yesterday's decadent color.

After a long time, Ling Yin Ziban stepped forward again and said, "King, although I am happy today, I can't pass it! There is still a big battle ahead, and the king needs to immediately assign Cheng Youtu to step up the autumn harvest and prepare the second batch of grain and grass to go north!"

"Yes, Daxin, you personally go to Cheng Jia to pass on the order, the rice is ripe, immediately harvested, and he will personally escort it from the north to reward the army of horses!"

"Yes, Wechen will personally bring someone to inform. ”

Cheng Daxin stepped forward to receive the order.

As soon as the king of Chu thought that there was enough grain and grass, the water receded, and the state of Chu won this battle without any worries, he leaned back in the golden chair, sank a worried heart into his stomach, clapped his hands and laughed again and again, "Okay...... If you have a son-in-law like this, you can sit back and relax in the future!"

The ministers congratulated again and again.

After the dispersal of the dynasty.

After the king of Chu left, under the ninth-level jade steps, the ministers once again surrounded Ling Yin Ziban and Ruo Ao Ziliang and all the clansmen of the Ruo Ao clan to congratulate him, and they already understood in their hearts that if the Ao clan rose again with this war, the power of the government and the opposition was unstoppable, and even comparable to the king of Chu, just around the corner.

At this time, even if Cheng Jia rushes back, it will be useless.

Cheng Lao wanted to take advantage of the battle of the Northern Expedition to revert to Cheng's statement.

I'm afraid it's difficult!

This initial battle once again launched the military might of the six divisions of Ruoao of the Golden Phoenix Banner, which shocked the princes of the north.

"It's a pity, Cheng Zuoyin is afraid that this trip will run in vain. Outside the Golden Palace, on the wide royal road, Ruo Ao Yuejiao looked at Cheng Daxin, who was in a hurry to receive his order, and sneered, but his eyes fell on the Mi Huang standing outside the hall.

"I haven't asked you what happened to Cheng Jia?"

Mi Huang turned to Yue Jiao and asked him for tat, thinking of the wild dog and Si Jian's return, he couldn't suppress that bad premonition in his heart.

"What do you say?" Ruo Ao Yuejiao evoked a cold smile, with murderous intent in his eyes.

"What can I do with him?"

"As long as you release Situ Nan to me, brother and sister, I will naturally let our Chengyoutu, who loves the people like a son, come back safely from Jingling County. Ruo Ao Yuejiao looked down at the woman in front of him condescendingly and said slowly, "One life for one life, this is a fair deal!"

"If Ao Yuejiao, you'd better ensure that Cheng Jia returns to Yingdu safe and sound! Otherwise, if he is injured even a bit, let alone Situ Nan, even if it is you, I will kill you a thousand times, ten thousand times, so that all your vain hopes will be in vain, and you will fall into the Nine Hells forever, and you will never recover!"

Qi Huang's lips opened lightly, and he looked at him word by word and said, his long hair like a waterfall danced in the wind, and his eyes were heavy, as if something had broken out of it.

Ruo Ao Yuejiao had never seen such a phoenix, first frowned, then laughed, and said, "Between you, it is really extraordinary, if our horse master sees this scene today, I don't know how to feel." ”

"Because he said we are allies!"

Mi Huang said in a deep voice, "So if anyone hurts him, I will pay it back ten thousand times!"

"What if it's my good second brother?"

Ruo Ao Yuejiao's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this, and he asked rhetorically, "Do you dare to kill him?"

"He won't!"

Mi Huang said resolutely.

"Hmph, then I'll wait and see! No matter what, if I can't see Situ Nan's people today, you just wait to collect the body for Chengjia!"

Snorted heavily, a woman's threat, he never looked at it, the more she said this, the more he firmly believed that as long as Cheng Jia's life was in his hands, he was not afraid that Mihuang would not comply, plus if Ao Ziliang did yesterday, his life-and-death feud with Mihuang was concluded.

On the empty royal road, Mi Huang watched Ruo Ao Yuejiao stride away with meteors, for this time Ruo Ao Shi couldn't bear it anymore for some reason, closed his eyes, and thought that no one could stop Ruo Ao Yuejiao anymore, and his heart was extremely angry.

"Lady, this Ruo Ao Yue Jiao is arrogant, let Si Jian teach him a lesson again!" Si Jian was angry and pulled out the big sword behind his back to catch up.

"No, I want you to personally lead someone to pick up Cheng Cheng right now, don't let it go!"

When I open my eyes again.

There seemed to be a hint of sharpness in her eyes.

"Yes, lady!" commanded Si Jian.

On the empty royal road, two people staggered, one went towards the prison of the palace of the Tiger Ben Forbidden Army, and the other went towards the gate of the Nine-Fold Palace.
