At dawn, the men and horses brought by Qi Zhao returned from the west. Of the soldiers who followed the www.biquge.info pen, only a few were slightly wounded, none died, and the rest were fine. In one night, Wu Ben's army annihilated all the Qiao soldiers sent by the enemy to attack at night, leaving no one alive.

A few days later, Tang Guxi's leg injury was healed, and although it had not healed, he was able to walk or ride a horse. The three of them packed up, said goodbye to Su Chen Qiyu at the foot of the mountain, and went to the capital of Qiaojiang to Yewu.

On one side is the wolf smoke flying, the iron horse mountains and rivers; On one side is a long journey, and there are three people on the ancient road. Qi Yu and the others were completely separated from Lin Luo and others, each carrying out their own mission, and on the day of the next day, when the Wu Ben army broke the enemy army and returned triumphantly, it was the time when Lin Luo set off from Yewu and gathered at the time of leaving the mountain.

At that time, in Qiaojiang Palace, there was a slight storm and turmoil.

In the palatial palace, a woman dressed in fine clothes and wearing a phoenix crown sat on the throne, she was no longer young, but her face was like condensed fat, her majestic eyes were dark and deep, her eyebrows were like distant mountains, and her eyes were like stars. The closed lips emitted a cold breath, which made people dare not approach, and the sparseness of the corners of her eyebrows made her look like a graceful woman, kind and kind.

This is the honorary Mrs. Hua - Queen Wen Yao.

The king of Qiao Jiangguo is very old, he has been weak and sick since he was still the prince, and his mind is not above the government at all, and he rests on the couch all day long, ignoring the affairs of the previous dynasty and ignoring the daughter of the harem. And his queen is a generation of beauties, exquisite, intelligent and capable, bold and ruthless, vigorous and resolute in trouble, and gradually established majesty and love in the court.

At this moment, in the main hall, she held a letter from Liang Yu in her hand, her fingers were cut like onion roots, her nails were red and sharp, and she gently scratched on the letter. The eyes seemed to be slightly raised, tired and weak, but the light poured out from under the eyelids, and swept heavily on the row of important ministers and soldiers below.

The lower row of ministers all stood on the left and right with their heads bowed slightly, and among the soldiers, there were Qiao soldiers and generals who went out to fight in the east this time.

"In any case, although our army was defeated this time, the military strength of the two countries is already very different, and it is indeed good to be able to fight so far. As the saying goes, when the general is outside, the king's order is not affected. As a woman, although I have been dealing with political affairs in the DPRK for a long time, I dare not speak rashly about the matter of leading troops to fight, so I ...... Everything depends on you, the general. ”

"My subordinates will obey the Queen's teachings."

The corners of Wen Yao's mouth curled slightly, looked at him and nodded, then hid the letter in his sleeve, his eyes drooped, and he sighed and said: "Today, let's talk about it first, and ask the general to return to the camp quickly and assist the general in reorganizing the army." Remember, it's important to be vigilant, and if you have information at hand, you need to make sure that nothing goes wrong. ”

"Subordinates obey!" The general below arched his hand and said loudly, "That...... The subordinates retired first. ”

Wen Yao turned her head, took a cup of tea handed over by the maid next to her with her fingers, lowered her eyes on the tea lid, and said softly: "Okay, let's go back." Yu'er stayed, and the hussar general waited for him for a moment. ”

"Wechen retired."

"Subordinates obey."

After the important ministers and generals left, there was only one young man in armor left in the hall, his thick eyebrows and big eyes, his eyes were clear, and his skin was fair, and he was standing in place with a blank face, looking at the queen mother on the stage, with a puzzled face.

"Yu'er, listen to the queen mother, don't go." Queen Wen Yao stroked the lid of the cup twice, did not take it up to drink tea, and gently put the tea cup on the table, "Sleeping in the open air, the soldiers of Liangyu are menacing again, the general and the hussar general can deal with it, you have stayed in the palace since you were a child, and you have never-"

"Mother, why did you say this again?" Bai Yu's eyebrows were dyed with gloom, and his voice was crisp and bright, "Could it be that the child will stay in the palace for the rest of his life, and be sheltered by the queen mother under Fengyi?" The other royal brothers have all had military exploits, or have been knighted, how can the child be unheard of and peaceful? ”

When Queen Wen Yao heard this, her face was dyed with a trace of displeasure, she withdrew her gaze, and instead landed on the tea cup on the side of her hand, "That's it, you are older, the queen mother doesn't care about you." You don't have to worry about your royal brothers, no matter what you do now, no one can match you in the status of the prince in the palace, and no one dares to compete with you. ”

"The child knows, but everything now is not all because ......of the queen mother," Bai Yu paused and lowered his head, "Child, I want to rely on my own strength to convince the ministers." ”

Wen Yao sneered and glared at him, "You rely on your own strength?" I think that one day you will die on the battlefield, and you will not even be qualified to say this! ”

"If you don't, you don't." Bai Yu raised his head suddenly, without a trace of fear on his face, "In short, I, Qiao Jiang, have already spread all over the streets, and they all say that the queen is the regent, and I have been teased by other countries for a long time!" The concubine should have been in the ninth place, even if her father was seriously ill and had no intention of presiding over the government, the major affairs of the court should also be held by a few elders, which is a great fortune for the country. And now, the child doesn't care what the queen mother wants, but as a prince, the child doesn't want to be laughed at by other countries, let alone let Qiao Jiang be laughed at by other countries! ”

"Bastard!" Wen Yao threw the teacup on the ground, and the blue and white porcelain teacup was torn apart in an instant, and the fragments splashed onto the smooth floor everywhere. She stood up from her throne and glared at Bai Yu angrily, her teeth rattling, and she couldn't speak.

Bai Yu gasped slightly, and slowly lowered his head, but his face was still very determined.

"What kind of face do you have to say this? If it weren't for me, if it weren't for your mother, with your father who was with medicine all day long, would Qiao Jiangguo be where it is today? Can you have the strength to rival Liang Yu? If you weren't my son, I would have sent you to the frontier with a few words, and you would never return! ”

Bai Yu's throat moved slightly, his brows furrowed, and he lowered his head and said nothing.

After a long time, Queen Wen Yao touched the chair and sat down slowly, her eyes became cold and gloomy, without the tenderness of a mother. She looked coldly at her son under the throne, her arrogance gradually decreasing, and finally glanced at him and withdrew her gaze.

"Alright, you can get out."

Bai Yu's lips moved slightly, but he didn't move.

Queen Wen Yao picked up the teacup, took a sip, and slowly put the teacup on the table.

"What else do you have to do?"

"Child...... The child wants to know, what else does the letter sent by Sister Ying say in addition to intelligence? ”

When Queen Wen Yao heard this, she lowered her eyes, looked safe, and said slowly: "I also said that she wants us to protect someone." ”

"Protect someone?" Bai Yu raised his head, "What does the queen mother mean by this?" ”

She said...... She walked on thin ice there, step by step, and secured reliable information for us. She has no complaints about this, only one request. Wen Yao glanced at him lightly, "That's it, don't let you kill a general." ”

After finishing speaking, Bai Yu's eyes were chaotic, as if stirring up all kinds of turmoil and turmoil. He understood the meaning from the queen's eyes, lowered his head and looked sad, and after a long time, he raised his head again and met the queen's eyes.

"Sister Ying is...... Fall in love with that general, right? ”

Queen Wen Yao looked at him, smiled lightly at the corner of her mouth, and said in a low voice: "Yu'er, as a prince, you have a bright future, you must not be confined to the love of your children, but also judge the situation, recognize the current situation, and do not act recklessly." Your sister Ying, she is just a sister to you, you better not think about it. ”

Bai Yu looked at the smile of the queen mother, and his heart was desolate. The corners of his mouth moved, and his clear eyes injected a cloudiness, and finally dimmed, and lowered his head slightly, "Child...... Got it. ”
