On the second day, a piece of news blew up the western border.

The officials and generals of several border cities adjacent to the Wei State, such as Huanshui, Jiyang, Linzi, Chongyi, Hezhou, Tongguan, etc., committed the crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason, involving more than 30 officials, and united with the Wei State to put a large number of unknown people into the Chu State, and set off a riot in Shangrao, Ezhou, resulting in the death and injury of tens of thousands of innocent people.

Two days later, the prisoner was executed at the execution ground of Hunshui City!

As soon as this news came out, the western border exploded, not only the people talked about it, but also the army also had a great response, especially the army led by those military generals, who gathered to make trouble, and in the past two days, it has caused a lot of chaos.

Lou Yueqing was very annoyed by this, and sent people to kill a few people who took the lead in making trouble, which shocked those people, and it was finally peaceful.

This matter soon spread throughout the Chu State, for Lou Yueqing's move, there were all kinds of speculation and discussion, and Chu Jing also caused a lot of turmoil, because many of these officials were born in Beijing families, they were involved, and the family could not escape the sitting, how to punish it, Lou Yueqing has already sent an order back to Beijing for Dali Temple and the Criminal Department to watch and handle.

This case involves a wide range of people and involves a lot of people, so two days later, in the city of Huanshui, a bloody execution is being staged.

Lou Yueqing stood on the city tower not far from the execution platform, quietly watching the bloody scene of knives falling below, her face was calm, and the wind and clouds were surging in her eyes.

She has tried her best to pardon many officials and family members who have nothing to do with this matter, but after all, this case is serious, and many people still have to die, no, on the torture platform, there are many people kneeling densely, and at a glance, there are no less than 100 people, not including those who have been beheaded, the knife rises and falls, and one life is cut off under her order.

She just watched it all the time, and she didn't even move her feet, even if it was noon and the sun was shining on her.

She didn't even know when Mo Li would appear behind her.

After a while, she noticed Mo Li standing behind her, turned her head to look at her, and asked, "What?"

Mo Li reported in a low voice: "Master, there is news from Fang Cai Yong that Xiyan was saved, but it seems that he was tortured and seriously injured!"

Hearing this, Lou Yueqing's eyes flashed slightly, and after a moment, she asked, "Where are you now?"

"It's still in Yongdu, but don't worry, the master is safe!"

Lou Yueqing nodded: "I know!"

After speaking, she didn't ask any more questions, turned her head and continued to look at the purgatory-like scene below, wailing and scolding kept coming, several of them were scolding her, and there were all kinds of curses and shouting injustices, mixed with the whispers of the onlookers, which made her panic for a while.

Seeing this, Mo Li hurriedly whispered: "Master, it's too bloody here, it's not good to see too much, go back!"

Hearing this, Lou Yueqing shook her head and said lightly: "No, I won't be unable to watch this scene!"

She has seen too many bloody scenes, compared to the battlefield fighting, compared to the killing she has experienced, what is this blood?

It's just that this massacre was ordered by her, and the life and death of these people was decided by her.

Don't leave a silence.

Lou Yueqing suddenly said: "I remember, the first time I saw such a scene was when I was five years old!"

Mo Li was stunned and looked at Lou Yueqing.

She smiled bitterly and said quietly: "At that time, my father ...... He told me not to have mercy, not to be soft-hearted, to be ruthless when you should be ruthless, because sometimes, in order to save the most important people and things, some killings are inevitable!"

Back then, Lan Guifei intended to murder her, so that she almost died, and the imperial concubine also broke her leg, so her father was furious, and Concubine Lan was given death, Concubine Lan's mother was implicated, and the nine clans were exterminated, and nearly 400 people in the entire Pei family were all executed, and even the eldest princess and the third prince born to Lan Guifei were implicated and almost abolished, she pleaded with her father for these two half-brothers and sisters, so on the day of the execution, her father took her to see it, and he told her, don't be soft-hearted, don't be merciful, sometimes, some people must be killed.

Back then, he was to protect her, so he washed the Pei family in blood, and it was also to deter those who had bad intentions, and now, in order to keep the stability of the Chu country, the people she should kill naturally can't be soft-hearted.

Even if many of them don't deserve to die, so what?

Mo Li heard this, thought about it, pursed his lips and said: "In this case, the master does not need to blame himself and feel guilty, you have been extra kind and pardoned many people, otherwise, the great crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason will be the destruction of the nine clans, if you don't bear it, more people will die!"

If she is really ruthless, then it is not only the following people who will die today.

Lou Yueqing was silent.

In fact, she has always felt that the Zhujiu clan is very miserable, and it is too cruel for the whole family to bear the consequences if one person makes a mistake, but sometimes, only in this way can she warn those who are not pure-minded, so that they can do it for themselves!

After this incident, I believe that the Chu State will be much more stable.

Watching the executioner on the execution ground cut the last knife, Lou Yueqing turned around and left.

As soon as she returned to the inn where she was staying, she saw King Xiang waiting for her.

She knew what King Xiang came to her for, and talked with King Xiang for half an hour before King Xiang left.

In the next two days, Lou Yueqing dealt with the government affairs here day and night, did a good job of replacing officials, and after watching King Shen and them reorganize their troops and horses, they gathered all the generals to discuss the strategic plan for most of the day, and then left the western border and went all the way north.

Originally, she was not very relieved here, but she had to leave, because there was news from the north that Rong Zhi led the army to recapture the lost territory of Hepu and Nanqi, and fought with the Beili army on the Qingchuan Plain outside Hepu City, and then, he seriously injured the opposing general, and he didn't know what was going on.

Lou Yueqing received such news, where can she stay, and immediately ordered people to prepare horses to go north, fortunately, this place is not very far from Hedu City, non-stop for a day and a night, and finally arrived at Hedu.

When Lou Yueqing arrived at Hedu, the two parties were facing each other.

It is said that after the news of Rong Zhi's serious injury spread, the army of Chu was unstable, and several lieutenant generals tried their best to appease it, but it was still not much better, after all, Rong Zhi was not only the commander of this battle, but also the backbone of Chu State, and on the side of Beili, King Pingnan was also seriously injured by Rong Zhi, so Yang Yi, the general of Zhenguo, who was the deputy marshal, led the reorganization of troops and horses to attack Hedu, because Rong Zhi was injured internally and externally, so he was too seriously injured and still in a coma, the regent was seriously injured and did not wake up, and the army of Chu was extremely unstable.

When Lou Yueqing arrived, there were 300,000 Beili troops blocking outside Hedu City, intending to attack the city, and the Chu army in Hedu City was only less than 300,000, plus now the morale of Beili is high, and the Chu army is panicking because of Rong Zhi's serious injury and coma, it is not a good time to face the battle at all, and several deputy generals also know this situation, so they did not respond to the battle, but the Beili army seems to have the intention of attacking the city.

Lou Yueqing had just arrived at Hedu, and she didn't even look at Rong Zhi, and when she heard this, she went directly to the city tower.

Because she showed her identity with a token, no one dared to stop her, and because of her arrival, it caused a lot of commotion.

Meng Yi, the guard general of Hedu City, and several lieutenant generals in the army were shocked when they saw her and learned her identity, and then saluted one after another: "See the princess!"

Lou Yueqing said with a solemn face: "You don't have to be polite, what is the situation below?"

Several people looked at each other, and one of the generals said in a deep voice: "Back to the princess's words, the Beili army is still blocked outside the city, as if it has the intention of attacking the city, the last general thinks that at this time, His Royal Highness the regent is still in a coma, and our army is unstable, so it is not suitable to fight!"

Now Beili's morale is high, and a king of Pingnan has fallen, and there are other generals with extraordinary abilities, but it is not good on the side of the Chu army, Rong Zhi, as the commander of the army, is the backbone of the Chu country, he has fallen, but the impact is not small, although they tried their best to appease, but they don't know who spread the news that the regent was seriously injured and died, which made the people in the army panic.

Hearing this, Lou Yueqing frowned and asked in a deep voice, "How is the prince?"

She didn't have time to see Rong Zhi's situation before she rushed here, so she didn't know how his injuries were, although she knew on the way that he was not lightly injured, but, hearsay, she didn't believe it.

Meng Yi, the guard of Hedu City, said in a deep voice: "Your Highness is seriously injured, when I brought His Highness back that day, the person was already unconscious, but because the guards around His Highness stopped him from letting the ministers go in to see, so the specific situation is not clear to the general, only that the injury is not light, and he has not woken up yet!"

When Lou Yueqing heard this, her heart sank, and she hadn't woken up for two days?

Gritting her teeth, she shook off the worry and fear in her mind, didn't ask any more questions, turned around and went up to the castle tower, and the others went up with them.

Outside Hedu City is a plain, at a glance, densely packed with armored soldiers, blocking outside the city, take a closer look, you can also see what they are preparing to attack the city, obviously want to take advantage of Rong Zhi's serious injuries to attack.

Lou Yueqing frowned, and her hands clenched subconsciously.

She asked the general behind her lightly: "Who is the one who leads the troops?"

Who else besides Yang Yi?

Meng Yi replied: "Yang Yi, the general of Beili Zhenguo, and the king of Xiaojingyang are also there!"

Lou Yueqing was stunned for a moment, didn't say anything, quietly looked at the dense army outside, and was silent.
