Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Queen of the Road
The whole empire is rumored that their army has fought a series of beautiful resistance battles, and the people of the invading tribes have been beaten to the ground.
It can be said that this time it was a victory.
Compared with the news that the border city was looted by the tribe in previous years, it was a world of difference.
Those courtiers who knew the inside story were simply overjoyed, because this time the empire really succeeded.
Speaking of which, this war has been prepared for a long time.
The empire has invested a lot of manpower and material resources for this purpose.
Fortunately, when the Empress Dowager was in charge of the government in the early years, she always paid attention to all aspects of development, and the empire had the strength and tribal hard bar.
Before this battle, the ministers were most worried that the commander appointed by the emperor was unknown and had never heard of it at all, and many people were a little anxious.
I don't know if I can play well?
Now, the manager has delivered a perfect answer.
And the emperor was happy in his heart, after all, after the queen mother went to the north, he didn't have any bottom in his heart, and he didn't know if the queen mother had the ability to suppress the field.
It is true that the queen mother is capable.
But the emperor also knew that the queen mother had read the book of war, and she was familiar with the art of war.
Even, the queen mother tried it with others on the sand table.
It's just that the queen mother won in the end, but the war and tactics that encountered real guns and knives did not necessarily succeed.
Because, the emperor also knows the idiom of talking on paper.
This shows that the situation on the battlefield is varied, and even if a person is proficient in the art of war, it does not mean that he will definitely win this war.
It turned out that the queen mother was very reliable, and she even wiped out the vanguard of the tribe, but not a single person in the empire died.
When he knew the news, if the emperor didn't hold it, he was afraid that he would jump up.
Thank you, Queen Mother!, he said to himself.
At this moment, the emperor decided that if the empire was to win in the end, he must sacrifice to the heavens.
And, Queen Lu, who was still gathering a large army, already sensed that something was wrong.
After all, some time ago, she sent a lot of people to attack the empire's military strongholds and test the empire's military strength.
It's just that why only people go out, and there is no news of coming back?
Man?
This gave her an ominous premonition.
But there is no information on this issue, after all, those former spies have been arrested one by one.
The people in the tribe have no source of information.
In other words, the Queen of the Road is already in a situation of news blockage.
It's like a person who has no eyes, and suddenly discovers that he has two ears, and his eardrum is perforated, so he can't see or hear clearly.
The blockage of the news is easy to have an accident.
So when facing the Empire, she underestimated the power of the Empire at all.
In addition to this ominous premonition, Queen Lu received another bad news, that is, her son, the Seventeenth Prince, and his companion Han Xiaozi have been missing for many days.
Hearing the news, I almost didn't Queen Lu to death.
Then, she threw the gold cup in her hand.
The more she thought about it, the more angry Queen Lu slapped the table and scolded: "Bastard, why didn't you tell this matter earlier?"
The person kneeling below did not squeak, he was a man who was sent to be cannon fodder, and he did not dare to say anything.
For a while, the people of the tribe were so busy that they didn't pay attention to the traces of those two people at all.
Later, after discovering that the Seventeenth Prince was missing, they had no intention of looking for someone at all.
Even, some people wish he died outside.
In the eyes of the tribesmen, the Seventeenth Prince is simply a waste: he can't lift his hands, he can't pick up his shoulders, he can't even ride a horse, and he can't do any work.
To live, in fact, is also a waste of food.
If it weren't for Queen Lu's constant saying that it was useful to keep Seventeen, someone would have fed Seventeen's waste snack to the wolf a long time ago.
So after Seventeen disappeared, the tribesmen directly concealed the news until they finally couldn't hide it.
Seeing this uncooperative attitude, Queen Lu gritted her teeth a little, knowing that all her plans were based on the fact that the seventeenth prince was alive.
"Buckets, waste, what are you doing?" she scolded.
In fact, over the years, the seventeenth prince has looked more and more like the former Emperor Wen, and Queen Lu didn't want to see him, after all, that child was also indifferent when she saw her.
But, no matter what, the more Seventeen looks like Emperor Wen, the more beneficial it is to her plans.
Because the banner she wants to fly is to restore orthodoxy.
In the planned routine, her son Seventeenth Prince is Emperor Wen's favorite, and the will that Emperor Wen once left her so that Seventeen can get the throne when he is old.
Even the most important prop, the Holy Decree, is ready, and it is time to go to war.
As a result, you fucking told her that the most important actor actually ran away.
How will this play continue?
Damn it!
Thinking of this, the anger in Queen Lu's heart suddenly came out.
At this moment, her beautiful eyes widened, and she said with a low pressure in her voice: "It seems that for the words of this king, you are all regarded as the wind in your ears, let you take good care of Seventeen, and this is how you take care of it?"
At this moment, Queen Lu's glamorous appearance can no longer be preserved.
Her face was already hideous like a female ghost, and she longed to eat those disobedient guys.
She is really angry, this group of mentally retarded people, her plan to harm her has not yet begun, and she is going to die, what is this!
Her eyes spurted with rage, and she wanted to kill this dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water.
She was really angry.
In her early years, in order to hit the ball when she was favored, she took a drug with side effects.
Pregnancy is pregnant, but it needs to be preserved.
That's it, seventeen was born frail and sickly.
However, Emperor Wen did not come much later.
So she had to spend more effort to save the child, and even spend a lot of money to recuperate the child.
I didn't dare to do anything like that.
What else should I do?
At that time, she did not have a second child, which was the only hole card she could compete for the throne.
As a result, before she could finish calculating the East Palace, the Lu family of the pig teammate came out with a big basket, so that she didn't even have a chance to compete for the throne and had to escape from the palace.
Even in this case, she still did not forget to take Seventeen with her.
Aren't you just thinking about making a comeback?
Is she easy?
Over the years, although Seventeen didn't seem to be very affectionate with her, Queen Lu could feel from her heart that the child was still a little attached to herself, so she was not afraid that he would be disobedient in the future.
It's just that now it's missing and happy, so how can it continue?
The anger in Queen Lu's heart soared directly, and she couldn't wait to eat his thoughts.
The people outside heard a commotion, as if there was a fight.
Someone hurriedly went in to take a look, and at a glance saw the Queen of the Road, who was angry in her eyes, and smashed the person who came to report with everything at hand.
And the man had already been knocked unconscious.
At this time, the queen of the road was still angry, drew her whip, and ran over to beat her.
The man who smoked woke up from his coma and begged for mercy loudly.
Hehe!
Still begging for mercy?
Queen Lu couldn't stop at this time, and the whip was beating again and again.
In the end, until the man was dying, there was no cry for help.
Someone really couldn't look at it, so he came up to stop it, and the queen of the road recovered.
She glanced at the man lying in a pool of blood, and at this moment, her eyes were cold and ruthless.
Even when she was looking at her lover, she had the same look.
reminds people that she is actually a temperamental person.
However, the people who can be in the same place with Queen Lu are not ordinary people.
In addition, he has no sympathy for his subordinates, so naturally he will not have any bad reactions.
So he walked up and said, "Queen, why be angry with a lowly person, if you are angry with yourself, you will be the one who is uncomfortable." ”
As he spoke, Queen Lu finally came to her senses.
She swung the whip that was still dripping with blood a few times, and the blood droplets flew out and snorted coldly.
"Come, let's go out for a walk. Her lover stepped forward and took the Queen of the Road by the hand and walked out, making room for her men to clean up.
"Queen, don't be angry, we can discuss something. ”
"Seventeen is missing. Queen Lu said.
The lover didn't know that during this time, people like them were very busy, and they even slept a lot less.
After all, there is a division of interests between tribes.
They want to get the most out of the Karui tribe, and now they have basically reached an agreement.
So, they still can't take care of the child.
Plus, he doesn't like Seventeen.
Because, the child looked at them with a look of boredom in his eyes, and he didn't hide it at all, so he didn't feel anything at all.
"How did you go missing? Could it be a mistake?" said the lover.
That kid was sick, how did he run away?
"No, I wasn't too angry if it was just missing, mainly because they kept it a secret when the child had been missing for a short time. ”
"This time, I sent someone to ask, and someone had to tell me about the situation. Queen Lu was angry.
Even, as soon as she mentioned this question at this moment, she felt angry, and she was a little angry all over.
"What should I do? I was going to fight back in the name of Seventeen, maybe there would be fewer people in many places, but now it's all over. When Queen Lu said this, the anger came out again.
"Originally, the queen had planned to do so, so why didn't she say it earlier?" asked the lover.
Although, now Queen Lu is the titular queen of the tribe, and they are all people under the queen.
But the people of the Karui tribe, especially those with some power, also have their own selfish intentions.
Of course, they are willing to enter the capital of the empire together, but it does not mean that they will want the queen to become the empress.
Originally, those of them had planned for a long time, and when they reached the capital, the most they could do was to let the queen's son ascend the throne.
Of course, this son was not seventeen, but born to Queen Lu and her lovers.
Therefore, some time ago, the people of their tribe were consciously or unintentionally squeezing out Seventeen.
Even Seventeen's departure was due to enthusiastic people who deliberately covered up Seventeen's traces.
That's why the one who escapes can hide in the carts of other tribes and run out of the tribe.
"Earlier?" said Queen Lu with some amusement.
Then she glanced at her lover, and this one looked like a smile.
She knew very well in her heart that the people of the northern nomadic tribe looked bold, but it did not mean that they had no heart.
In fact, there is a fight between them.
It's just that the point of being good at fighting with martial arts covers up their hearts.
"If I said it earlier, I am afraid that this matter will reach the ears of the emperor of the Southern Dynasty. Queen Lu said with some amusement.
Over the years, the empire has increased its penetration into the north, so there are many small tribes who have secretly defected to the empire, and even some people in the Karui tribe have betrayed the tribe.
Their opponents are becoming more and more cunning.
Therefore, when Queen Lu made a move this time, she only notified the people of the tribe at the last moment.
After the empire became stronger a little bit, Queen Lu would plan to attack after the rough integration of the Karui tribe.
Because she knew it would take longer if she was going to take it slowly.
She didn't want to spend that much time, and second, she was worried about whether her old rival would follow up.
In fact, over the years, every stronghold of the Lu family in the empire has been uprooted one by one.
Even someone in the Lu family finally understood before they died that in the face of life and death, many things are trivial.
However, they knew too late, and the people of the Lu family were almost dead.
For the demise of the Lu family, Queen Lu felt a little sorry in her heart, after all, her great cause needs a large number of people to do.
If the Lu family is alive, they can save a lot of things.
But the Lu family was tracked down by the empire and was all destroyed.
The Queen of Concession put a lot of effort into integrating the Karui tribe, only to find that those people were often fooling her.
When Queen Lu found out, she was not angry.
Because she doesn't care too much, she just needs to ascend to the throne of the Queen Mother, and everything else is easy to say.
After arriving at the tribe, Queen Lu was still very satisfied, and most of the men in the northern nomadic tribes were powerful and powerful, and they had no guilt for killing.
The kind of thing that uses human skulls to make wine jugs and human skins to make drum noodles is, in her opinion, very normal things.
After all, in her opinion, the phenomenon of the jungle in the tribe is normal.
The tribe also welcomed her and was simply a guide for them to go south.
The reason for going south is that they are strong, so they can enjoy the fruits of other people's labor.
Even if it is someone else's labor.
In their opinion, it should be what they should enjoy.
And Queen Lu will rush to send troops after she understands that the empire is becoming stronger.
After all, the gap can't be too big.
As long as a few cities are conquered, bloodbathed, and a city slaughter is carried out, it will scare some officials of the empire to abandon the city and flee.
Because, some literati are worried.
Then, you can save a lot of effort and enter the capital.
Of course, before that, she needed Seventeen to live.
As a result, this move made by his subordinates can be regarded as a waste of a good move.
Queen Lu felt a little sick when she thought about it.
Of course, for the disappearance of Seventeen, as a mother, she didn't care about the safety of her children, but only paid attention to her own plan and could not implement it, which can be regarded as an outlier among mothers.
"Actually, it's not impossible, Your Majesty. The lover said.
When he spoke, he looked at Queen Lu with smiling eyes and affection.
Queen Lu looked at him and said, "Is there any way?"
"Of course, it's to find someone to play Seventeen. After all, you, as his mother, will not be suspicious of the person you bring back. ”
"Hey, that's a good idea. Queen Lu's eyes lit up and she said.
Now she is also sick and rushes to the doctor, as long as there is a way to solve the matter of Jiaozhao, she can do anything.
So, Queen Lu began to prepare to find a stand-in, preferably the kind of person who was sick.
Not to mention, really found.
Someone happens to have been sick for a long time, so the whole person becomes white and weak, and it looks like a person who has been sick for a long time.
Of course, he doesn't look much like Emperor Wen, which is a disadvantage.
As soon as she thought of this, Queen Lu was a little flustered.
If I had known that this was the case, I would have thrown off Seventeen a long time ago.
