Chapter 1099: Return to the Empire
Giselle hurriedly walked into the general ledger, and saw Luo Tianwu sitting behind the long case, handing the urgent mail he had just received in his hand to Luo Tianwu's hand, looking slightly impatient, and asked, "Sister Tianwu, Sister Qingyue is doing this, is it a little inappropriate?"
Luo Tianwu didn't look at the letter in his hand, but just glanced at Giselle, and asked softly, "Is there any effect?"
"All 30,000 members of the Ice Plains tribesmen were killed, and the Ice Plains cavalry lost their minds and launched a death charge, all of which were annihilated at Shixia Pass, and the crisis was eliminated. ”
Luo Tianwu listened, nodded, and said: "That's enough, this matter, I have authorized Qingyue to deal with it with full authority, she has the right to use any method to solve the big trouble of the Ice Cavalry, she did it, didn't she?"
Giselle was in a hurry and exclaimed, "But, isn't this method too bloody?"
Giselle is a real general, and the fight on the battlefield, no matter how tragic, can be accepted, but the slaughter of innocent civilians to wear out the fighting spirit of the opposing cavalry loses the glory of being a warrior, and she can't accept it.
Luo Tianwu sighed and said: "Giselle, you can not accept it, but definitely don't despise Qingyue, war represents blood, in addition to the frontal battlefield, there are also more tragic battles in the darkness that we can't see, and the blood shed is not less than the frontal battlefield, although I won't do such a thing, but in the empire, there is also a need for such a person, Your Majesty handed over the shadow guard to Qingyue, and let her be such a person." ”
Luo Tianwu's temperament doesn't like to play these conspiracies, in her mind, the battle must be upright, but where in the world there is so much light, in order to win by unscrupulous means, she has experienced them one by one, so in order to solve the trouble, Qingyue slaughtered tens of thousands of innocent people, but brought light to the army of the Shenlong Empire, everyone can condemn her, but only the Shenlong Empire cannot.
Giselle replied softly, "I see." ”
"Go ahead, destroy all the information about this and treat it as if it never happened. "Although Luo Tianwu yearns for the light, but he is not an ignorant person, Qingyue as the imperial concubine, may affect the prestige of the emperor, this kind of thing, of course she will not let it happen, just let time erase all this, history, always written by the winner, this matter, will soon disappear in the long river of history, no one will know.
Even if someone writes a biography in later generations, it is just some wild history, and those who believe in it will naturally believe it, and those who don't believe it will be regarded as a legend and will not play a role.
The fire in Shixia burned for three days and three nights, tens of thousands of corpses, turned into ashes, for Qingyue, she just did what she should do, not in her position, not in her politics, but today since she has become the imperial concubine and the leader of the shadow guard, then these things should be done by her.
The death of tens of thousands of people has a great deterrent to the tribes in the north, and many tribal leaders who have heard the news have secretly planned and are preparing to leave the city ahead, because this battle has been fought so far, and there is no hope of victory at all, but they are just struggling to support and delay the collapse time.
They don't want to be like the tribes of the Ice Field, because they participated in the war, and were wiped out by the entire Shenlong Empire, so someone secretly contacted the Shenlong Empire, let go of the guarded towers, and attacked the army of the Shenlong Empire that had not opened the gap for three days, and finally found the direction, there is a good saying, the strongest fortress is often broken from the inside, and Qingyue killed it ruthlessly, so that the coalition forces of the Northern Xuan Empire had a loophole.
Even Prime Minister Xiao Cheng, who has great wisdom, can't imagine that people's hearts have been scattered.
Although these tribes are only stationed at a certain station, a certain point, but for the Shenlong Empire, it is enough, Luo Tianwu started a comprehensive breakthrough with a point of view, in the land shrouded in ice and snow, launched the fastest action, and before Beixuan Xiong's heart came to his senses, it had already broken three big cities in a row.
When the sky was about to dawn, when Beixuan Ambition and Prime Minister Xiao Cheng received the news, they were already powerless to return to the sky, and the second line of defense was torn open a big gap, like a lack of embankment, and the flood took advantage of the situation to go down, unstoppable.
At this time, a mysterious guest from Dragon City walked into Luo Tianwu's handsome tent.
"I've seen Nangong Niangniang. The woman leaned over and bowed.
The person who came was the princess of the Northern Xuan Empire, Xuexi.
Xue Xi has not been in the palace for a long time, and she has only one side relationship with Luo Tianwu, but Luo Tianwu knows the existence of Xue Xi, and the identity of the eldest princess of the Beixuan Empire makes people have to remember her.
"Xuexi is here, but there is an emperor's order?"
"Xue Xi has an emperor Yu, and he came to the border to see my brother Wang, persuade him to surrender, and ask Nangong Niangniang to let go of the road and make a truce for a day. ”
"Xuexi, although we are both imperial concubines, but our identities are different, since the emperor has agreed to you to come, this is an opportunity, you have to grasp it well, the life and death of the royal family of the Northern Xuan Empire is your envoy this time, as a sister, I also hope that you will not do what the emperor does not want to see." ”
"Please rest assured, Sister Wu, Xue Xi understands. ”
Luo Tianwu and Xue Xi do not have any friendship, can remind a sentence is also for the sake of the concubine in the same palace, as the emperor's woman, Luo Tianwu knows that the emperor is tender, so he doesn't want to see him sad because of a woman, of course, I don't want Xue Xi to make a wrong choice and make a mistake.
After all, the war has come to this day, the victory and defeat have been clear, no matter how stubborn you resist, you can't return to the sky, for Beixuan Xiongxin, conforming to the sky is the right way.
The successive dynasties are all long-term separation, long-term unity must be divided, the trend of the Shenlong Empire dominating the world is a sign that the long-term division must be united, in this case, going against the sky, will not get any good results in the end.
The emperor allowed Xue Xi to come, he had already expressed his attitude, Luo Tianwu also hoped to accept the other party's surrender peacefully, this battle has been fought so far, and the losses on both sides are too great.
"Giselle, you pick out 20,000 guards, personally lead them, and follow Concubine Xue to Bear City. ”
"Yes, Marshal. ”
Xue Xi gave another salute and said, "Thank you, Sister Wu." ”
Xiongcheng, in the imperial palace, cold, quiet, without any sound, especially near the emperor's bedroom, except for the straight palace guards, there is no one, at this time, the empire is defeated again, no one wants to show their heads, anger the king who is accumulating anger, although everyone knows that the destruction of the Beixuan Empire is inevitable, but at this time, it will still be a dilemma of life and death to anger the king.
The former lively court has been silent, for three months, the palace has not been to the court again, listening to Prime Minister Xiao Cheng's report, more than half of the court officials, have resigned and retired, when the first line of defense was broken, they have lost confidence in the Beixuan Empire.
The remaining more than half of the court officials still have full faith in the empire, and life and death are together.
Old Man Xiao's slightly tired figure appeared at the door, two sergeants were saluting, but they were stopped, Old Man Xiao asked, "Your Excellency is here?"
"Back to the prime minister, the king is sitting alone in the government hall. ”
Old Man Xiao nodded, and walked towards the government affairs hall, which was once the most lively and strict government affairs hall, but at this moment it was as quiet as hell, there was not even a candle flame, only deserted, lonely, the old man Xiao walked over and lit the candle, and soon, the dim government affairs hall immediately became bright.
Old Man Xiao finally saw the pale and trembling figure sitting on that high position, Beixuan Bear Heart, which represented the most powerful symbol of royal power in the Beixuan Empire.
The former high-spirited, the once commanding the country, the once heroic momentum, all the spirit and spirit, have disappeared, even as a king, after more than ten years of tempering, the Beixuan bear heart in front of him is still not strong enough, he is just a young man in his twenties.
The doom of the destruction of the empire has befallen no one.
Old Man Xiao stepped forward and bowed his hand to him: "I've seen you." ”
A hoarse voice sounded: "It's the Prime Minister, is there something wrong?"
"Your Majesty, the princess is back, Princess Xuexi is back. ”
"Sister Wang, Sister Wang is back, where is she?"
"Just outside the palace, waiting for the king's summons. ”
Beixuan Xiongxin, who was nesting on the high horse, jumped up with a bounce of his body, and said: "Quick, follow me to see Sister Wang, this king knows that Sister Wang will never betray the empire, and she will not die without help." ”
Seeing that Beixuan Xiong's heart was so eager, the old man Xiao's face was full of bitterness, although he was also grateful that in such a situation, Princess Xuexi could still come back to visit, but if he pinned his hopes on a woman, it would be unrealistic, the war has developed to this day, it is impossible for the Beixuan Empire to reverse the trend, Xuexi is just an imperial concubine of the Shenlong Empire, and she can't change the fate of the Beixuan Empire.
But Old Man Xiao didn't explain, let alone attack Jun Shang at such a time.
Maybe the sister and brother meet and complain about their family affection, which can also ease the emotions of the king, for such a long time, the pressure on the king is too great, and it is almost suppressed to the point of madness.
Outside the palace, a long line of military guards guarded a carriage, and in front of the carriage, stood a woman wrapped in a white robe, in the woman's arms, holding a baby, the baby fell asleep sweetly, ruddy face, very flattering.
But it's a pity that the woman's attention at this moment is not on her own children, but standing in front of the palace, looking at the palace that she was once the most familiar with.
There is a bit of nostalgia, but for Xuexi, she has no regrets, because she has more things to do about the future.
If she was in the palace two years ago, she would definitely live and die with the palace at this time, as a woman, she has the pride of not losing to men, but now, she will not do this, because she has to think about her children, as the bloodline of the Shenlong Emperor, her son will also have the opportunity to ascend to the throne of the Great Emperor in the future, compared to the entire Shenlong Empire, compared to the entire Yanyang Continent, a mere Beixuan Empire, it is already insignificant.
This time she traveled far away in the cold winter and came to Bear City, not for the glory of the past, but for the future of the child.
Because in the inner palace, she has nothing to rely on, and the rich heritage of the Beixuan Empire is what she needs most at the moment, and her status as the eldest princess of the empire can also accept all this.
Therefore, she is back, wanting to witness the decline of a legend and the birth of a new legend.
