Three months have passed in the blink of an eye, and Ling Kun still hasn't heard from him, and the three women in the Lingwei Hou Mansion are all going crazy.

Zhao Mingyue believed that Ling Kun must still be alive, because the look in the eyes of the peerless master who saved them made her feel very down-to-earth. The question is why there is no movement after such a long time, could it be that Ling Kun was too seriously injured and could not be saved. When I think of this, I feel my heart ache to death.

Han Jiangxue's face sank like water, and she frowned and said, "It's not a way to just wait, let's go out and find it?" ”

"How do you find it? Where to look? Xiao Ran asked.

"Look for it in the rivers and lakes." Han Jiangxue said: "I'll go back to Mount Tai and let all the brothers go down the mountain to find it." ”

Zhao Mingyue said: "You're right, let's go our separate ways, you go back to Mount Tai to send, I will ask the emperor to take out some people from the front of the palace to go out to find him, and we must find him." ”

"Well, I'm going to go out and find it too." Xiao Ran said.

"You'd better come with me, don't lose yourself." Zhao Mingyue said.

"Why do you look down on me, I came from Liaoguo last year, didn't it go smoothly to find you?" Xiao Ran pouted.

"Princess, you can't go looking for it." A man's voice suddenly came from outside the house, and the three women were taken aback.

Xiao Ran shouted: "Old thing of the Bai family, you dare to care about me?" ”

Outside, it was really Baishan Shuangsha, Bai Yuming smiled and said: "Princess, the Queen Mother has sent an order to let the princess leave for Liao Kingdom immediately." ”

"I'm not going back, Ling Kun's life and death are unknown, I'm going to look for it." Xiao Ran objected.

"The Queen Mother said that she must take the princess back, even if she is tied up, she must be tied back. Princess, see if there is anything to pack, and we will leave in half an hour. Bai Yuming's tone was unquestionable.

"You dare, this princess just won't leave, what can you do?"

Bai Shan Shuangsha smiled, as if looking at a disobedient child.

Xiao Ran was anxious, took Zhao Mingyue's hand and said, "Sister Mingyue, what should I do?" I don't want to go back. ”

Zhao Mingyue frowned and said, "I don't want you to go back, but what can I do?" None of us are their opponents, and even if Ling Kun is there, we can't stop them. ”

After discussing for a long time with no results, Xiao Ran could only follow Baishan Shuangsha back to Liao. She pulled Zhao Mingyue and cried and instructed: "Sister, you must find Ling Kun, find a way to report to me after you find it, and if you get married, you must leave a place for me, no matter how old you are." ”

Zhao Mingyue blushed and pushed her angrily: "What crazy words, who wants to get married?" ”

"People are serious." Xiao Ran choked up, wiped her tears and cried out.

Zhao Mingyue was very distressed and pulled her back to hug her. Xiao Ran lay in Zhao Mingyue's arms and cried, like a child who had lost his favorite toy.

"Silly girl, don't worry about going back, Ling Kun will be fine, and we won't forget you."

"Uh-huh." Xiao Ran nodded again and again, tears splashed, and choked up: "You must wait for me, I will be back soon." ”

Xiao Ran reluctantly followed Baishan Shuangsha, and Zhao Mingyue immediately entered the palace to see Emperor Zhao Heng.

In the upper study, Zhao Heng asked eagerly, "Mingyue, is there no news from Ling Kun yet?" ”

Zhao Mingyue shook her head and said, "There is no news." ”

"Hey, if he hadn't blocked it, I'm afraid I'd have gone with the emperor at this moment, and now his life and death are unknown, how can I feel at ease?" Zhao Heng sighed.

"Third brother, I have asked the people sent by Taishan to look for them in the rivers and lakes, and the front division of the palace should also send an elite group of people to go out to find them, no matter what, I want to see people in life and corpses in death." Zhao Mingyue said.

"Yes, yes, yes, let's do it, I will give you a secret decree, and at the critical moment, you can dispatch all the soldiers and horses of the front division of the palace, as for how to find it, you and the front secretary of the palace will wait for the Hongjia to settle the road."

Zhao Mingyue nodded and said, "Third brother, do I have other things to do today?" ”

"Oh? What else? ”

"I have a hunch that the Liao State is about to attack, are we ready for the border pass?"

Zhao Heng was shocked and said, "How do you know that the Liao State is going to fight?" I'm in a mess here now, and I haven't taken care of it. ”

The biggest reason why Zhao Mingyue decided that the Liao State was going to fight was that Empress Dowager Xiao recalled Xiao Ran, so that there would be no worries about fighting, but this secret could not be told to Zhao Heng. He carefully analyzed: "It is because the third brother has just succeeded to the throne, the internal and foreign affairs are still in a state of chaos, and there is no experience in transferring troops to fight, so this time is the biggest opportunity for the Liao State and Western Xia, those people have been staring at it for decades, how can they let go of this opportunity?" ”

Zhao Heng nodded and said, "Yes, Empress Dowager Xiao of Liao State and Li Jiqian of Western Xia are both human spirits, and they will not let go of this good opportunity." But what should I do? There are no generals available in the Great Song Dynasty, only one Ling Kun is still unknown in life and death, so if he can't do it, he will reactivate his uncle, right? ”

"Are you at ease?"

Zhao Heng shook his head and said, "Don't worry." ”

"Then forget it, after all, the Liao State hasn't come yet, let's prepare and deploy in advance, we should be able to resist for a while. Although there are no reliable generals in the court, there are actually some generals who can fight well at the border gates, such as Yang Yanzhao or something. ”

"Well, I'll discuss with Kou Zhun and make preparations in advance, you should hurry up and find Ling Kun." Zhao Heng waved his hand and said.

Sure enough, as Zhao Mingyue expected, a month later, an urgent report was sent from the border pass that the Liao State had mobilized an army of 400,000 troops, and under the leadership of the general Yelu Xiuge, they swooped down the Yin Mountain and came straight to Yanmen Pass.

Yelu Hugo has been entangled in Yanmen Pass for most of his life, although he did not set foot in Yanmen Pass, but he captured the invincible general Yang Ye here, and twice smashed Zhao Guangyi's imperial expedition, and his fame is closely linked to Yanmen Pass, this time he is bound to win, and he must take Yanmen Pass.

There are two passes outside Yanmen Pass, and the stone gate is closed in the hands of the Great Song Dynasty, and the Yanmen Pass is a horn with each other, and they depend on each other for their lives. However, the current problem is that the Great Song Dynasty does not have a unified command general, and the three guards do not have the same opinions, and no one listens to anyone's command, so this situation is very dangerous.

Zhao Heng knows this very well, but where to find this suitable general?

In the study, Emperor Zhao Heng was at a loss, and Kou Zhun also frowned, no matter how powerful he was, he wouldn't lead troops to fight. Zhao Mingyue sat on the side without saying a word.

Zhao Heng sighed and said, "Hey, if Mingyue is a man, why would I be so melancholy." ”

Zhao Mingyue smiled bitterly, but unfortunately she was not a man, and she couldn't show her skills.

Kou Zhun suddenly raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has an idea, although the eldest princess is a daughter, she can disguise herself as a man and go to the border as Ling Kun." ”

"Sss Zhao Heng and Zhao Mingyue gasped when they heard this, can it still be like this?

Zhao Heng asked Kou Zhun in surprise: "How could the prime minister have such a bold idea?" If this is to be spread, wouldn't it be to admit to the people of the world that my Great Song Dynasty is no longer available, and it will only make the government more turbulent. ”

Kou Zhun shook his head and said: "At that time in Yongxi Mausoleum, everyone only saw Ling Kun injured, as for whether he was dead or not, no one knows, so at this time, he led the troops to the battle, and no one outside would doubt it, and he was young and handsome, and the eldest princess could use a little makeup to get through the trick." As for the main generals in the army, all that is needed is a secret decree from the emperor and a clear explanation. ”

Zhao Mingyue hurriedly said: "Lord Kou, although this palace has been determined to lead troops to fight since childhood, after all, it has never been on the battlefield, and I am afraid that I can't afford such a heavy responsibility." ”

Kou Zhun chuckled: "The main reason why I recommend the eldest princess is that you have this ability, and the emperor has just succeeded to the throne, and the thoughts of many generals are still unclear, and only the eldest princess can lead the troops to be reliable." ”

Zhao Heng nodded and said, "Well, if Mingyue can lead the troops, of course I can rest assured, why don't you just try it, at least buy some time for me and the prime minister, and if Ling Kun comes back halfway, it will be just right to hand over to you." ”

Zhao Mingyue was faintly excited in her heart, but she was also very nervous.

Finally can be a general.
