On the third day of Jin Zibo's meeting with the Eighth Prince, Sun Chongshan, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, finally led the army to the outside of the imperial capital and stationed there.

And three days ago, Shangguan Ningxuan, who learned about the layout of the troops of Juli Guo and the commander of Pu Yuanlong in the imperial capital, heard the news that Sun Chongshan's army had arrived outside the city, and she was overjoyed.

However, Wang Jingyan's condition is not very good, and she needs to send true qi to activate the meridians every day and continue her life, so she can't leave the General's Mansion, so she can only wait quietly in the General's Mansion for Sun Chongshan to come to discuss matters in the General's Mansion with patience and excitement.

Wang Jingyan was in a coma, although she relied on the divine pill given by Tian Yuanzi to temporarily suppress the toxicity in her body and save her life, but if there was no master to regulate and send her true qi, she would still not be able to survive for a long time, and her blood and qi would be solidified, so that the fragrance would disappear.

At present, there are only two people in the imperial capital who can do this for Wang Jingyan, one is Shangguan Ningxuan, and the other is Li Hanfeng.

However, Li Hanfeng is a man, and Wang Jingyan is a woman, men and women do not kiss, and skin intersect when sending true qi, so Li Hanfeng is naturally inconvenient to do this.

As for some other hidden masters, some of them may be female masters hiding in the imperial capital, but Shangguan Ningxuan didn't dare to rashly ask them to help, because she was not familiar with them and was afraid of accidents, so Shangguan Ningxuan had always been responsible for taking care of Wang Jingyan.

Shangguan Ningxuan didn't want to leave the General's Mansion, so she asked Li Hanfeng to go out to the city to welcome Sun Chongshan to the mansion to discuss matters, and protect him by the way.

Now the imperial capital is surrounded by spies and masters of the Juli Kingdom, and it is easy for an accident to happen if one is not careful.

Shangguan Ningxuan expected that the news that Sun Chongshan led the Praetorian Guards to the imperial capital must have also been known by the people of Juli Kingdom, and even the people of Juli Kingdom had already arranged an assassination plan.

Sun Chongshan, who was in the midst of the Ten Thousand Armies, may not need to worry about being assassinated, but if he leaves the protection of the Ten Thousand Armies, it will be very dangerous.

If something happens to Sun Chongshan, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Li Hanfeng listened to the order, and went out to handle it.

After about half a day's effort, Li Hanfeng avoided the supervision of countless spies of the Juli Kingdom with his supernatural means, and successfully came to the outside of the city and met Sun Chongshan.

Sun Chongshan also knew Li Hanfeng, the chief housekeeper of the General's Mansion, and knew that this person was Wang Mang's confidant, so when the two met, they naturally didn't say any superfluous polite words, and they all went straight to inquire about the situation.

"Senior Li, how is the situation in the imperial capital now? His Majesty is very worried about the safety of the Queen Mother and Princess Shangguan. Sun Chongshan said worriedly: "I haven't felt anything on the way here, but since the leader arrived outside the imperial capital, I have felt a very oppressive atmosphere, which is very uncomfortable. ”

"At present, the situation in the imperial capital is very bad."

Li Hanfeng replied: "Since you have come here, then I will also tell you the real situation." The queen has been in a coma for several months, and her life is in danger at any time. In the past few months, she has relied on the princess to send true qi every day to activate the meridians, regulate qi and blood, and continue her life.

At that time, Jin Zibo deliberately concealed the news when he went to His Majesty's side, in order not to distract His Majesty from worrying. This time, the princess wanted to come to see you, but she really couldn't be separated and needed to take care of the queen, so she asked me to come and pick you up and take you to the general's mansion to discuss matters. Also, Huo Rongsheng has died, some other ministers have also died, and Gongsun Ce is seriously injured and is currently recuperating in the General's Mansion. Today's ministers of the imperial capital are all in danger and their lives are in danger at any time.

Of course, in addition to these bad things, there is another good thing, that is, three days ago, we have learned about the troop layout map and personnel list of the people of the Juli Kingdom in the imperial capital. With these things, we have a little more confidence to compete with them.

But General Sun, the princess is angry now, and when you see her later, if she wants to take command of the Praetorian Guard, you must not give it to her, you need to persuade her well, lest she lose her mind and do anything bad because of her anger. You also know the friendship between her and the queen, and now that the queen is suffering so much, how can she not take revenge?

And I often advised her to restrain her anger, and to wait for His Majesty to come. But in the end, what I say is not as powerful as what you say, because you have just come from His Majesty's side and know about His Majesty's situation. ”

"Lord Huo is dead? Damn it. Sun Chongshan was furious when he heard this, and slapped the table suddenly, "I was ordered to lead the army to the imperial capital first this time, and His Majesty's original intention was to let me obey Lord Huo's command and try my best to control the situation in the imperial capital." But I didn't expect Master Huo to ..... him.

Senior Li, don't worry, Your Majesty has already instructed me before I came, so don't worry about seeing the princess, I have my own words to let her temporarily suppress her anger and don't do anything brutally. Although in fact, I also want to do it brutally and avenge the queen's mother. ”

"That's very good." Li Hanfeng nodded and said, "As long as the princess doesn't act brutally, and then with the intelligence and troops in our hands, we will definitely be able to control the situation and prevent the incident from continuing to worsen." If the people of Juli Kingdom want not to cause panic among the people, they will quietly replace all the high-level officials of the imperial capital, so as to achieve the goal of seizing the imperial dynasty without blood, then we will have a good secret fight with them. ”

"Exactly. The wisdom of the people who preside over the big things on the side of the Juli Kingdom should not be underestimated. They knew that if the matter leaked out, the people would panic, and it would be difficult to rule. And His Majesty doesn't want to cause panic among the people, he just wants to have a good secret fight. This is also binding on both of us, and ordinary people don't have to suffer too much. ”

"General Sun, there are too many spies of the Juli Kingdom in the imperial capital now, which is difficult to guard. You need to keep up with me so you don't get into an accident along the way. Li Hanfeng instructed.

"Yes, senior, I know this in my heart." Sun Chongshan responded, and then said to his lieutenant generals: "Listen, in order to prevent accidents, you must always be vigilant, and you must not be lazy and lax." At the same time, the order will be passed on, so that the soldiers will also be in good spirits, and it is best to prepare for battle at any time.

To be on the safe side. If I encounter something on the side of the General's Mansion that makes it inconvenient to leave the city, or if the princesses are in critical condition, I will light a tricolor beacon at that time. When you see the signal, you don't need to worry about anything else, just immediately lead the army into the city gate and go to the general's palace to help. If I light the two-color beacon, it means that the matter is out of control, and you will immediately lead the army out of the imperial capital and join your majesty as soon as you see the signal. ”

Many adjutant generals nodded in unison, "General Sun, don't worry, we will definitely deal with it, and there will be no problems with it." ”

After Sun Chongshan finished arranging the task, he left the barracks with Li Hanfeng's pace, walked in disguise, and cautiously ran towards the city.

At about eight o'clock in the evening, the two made a detour, avoiding heavy eyes and ears, and finally arrived at General Wuhou's mansion smoothly.

In the General's Mansion, Shangguan Ning Xuan and Gongsun Ce had been waiting for a long time.

In Gongsun Ce's house, Sun Chongshan saw Gongsun Ce lying on the hospital bed and couldn't get up, and he couldn't help but cry secretly.

Although he had heard Li Hanfeng say that Gongsun Ce was seriously injured before, it was one thing to hear about it, and it was another thing to see it.

"The last general will meet Her Royal Highness the princess and meet the grandson." Sun Chongshan bowed for a while, and then choked up and said, "Lord Gongsun, when you abandoned Li Zhong and went to Your Majesty, the last general also followed after learning the news. And more than ten years have passed, and I can't imagine that now Your Majesty has almost completed the original goal, and you have been seriously injured at this juncture..."

Gongsun Ce said: "You don't have to feel anything, my injury is just a skin injury, and you only need to rest for a period of time to recover." Besides, when we march and fight, where is the reason not to be injured? But Lord Huo took the first step, which is really heart-wrenching. ”

Sun Chongshan nodded heavily, holding back the grief in his heart, and then set his eyes on Shangguan Ningxuan.

When he saw Shangguan Ningxuan's pale face and his eyes were gloomy, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Your Royal Highness, your body doesn't matter, right?" I don't think you look good, would it be better for you to rest for a while? When we have recovered our spirits, it is not too late for us to come back to discuss things. ”

"It's not a safe thing." Shangguan Ningxuan said: "I just sent my true qi to the queen, and I spent a lot of energy for her to consolidate the foundation and activate the meridians. The situation of the queen, presumably Senior Li has already told you. I recuperate for her every day, and it is normal for her to consume too much energy and be a little pale. When the queen recovers in the future, I will be able to recover after some time of recuperation.

But can you tell me about Your Majesty's situation, when will he be able to arrive in the imperial capital? What arrangements did he have for these changes in the imperial capital? ”

Sun Chongshan said: "At that time, after His Majesty learned the news of the great changes in the imperial capital, he asked me to lead the Praetorian Guards to take the lead and come to the imperial capital to help. His Majesty led the army and could not hurry up, so he had to stop in some local cities, rectify government affairs, appease the people, and many other things. According to His Majesty's calculations at that time, it would probably take him about five months to reach the imperial capital.

In the last tense, His Majesty said that His Royal Highness the princess could rest assured that the affairs of the Juli Kingdom would not be a problem, and said that Her Royal Highness the princess did not need to worry about the martial arts masters on the other side, and said that the masters of Tianyang Mountain would take action against those people. ”

"The people of Tianyang Mountain will make a move? How did I not know? And I don't seem to see any signs of a move from Tianyang Mountain. Shangguan Ning Xuan was puzzled: "The Lord of the Wind Sword has been defeated by the people of the Juli Kingdom, if those people come to the imperial capital to commit murder, we are really not able to resist." I made a lot of preparations for this. ”

"My subordinates don't know." Sun Chongshan said: "Anyway, Your Majesty said so, I think Your Majesty will definitely not let it go for no reason, since he said this, there must be some basis." When I came, Your Majesty asked me to cooperate with your lordships to maintain the safety of the imperial capital, control the situation, and regain control of the Qingzhou region. Now that Lord Huo has gone, I don't know what mission Lord Gongsun has? ”

Gongsun Ce shook his head and said, "I am seriously injured, and it is difficult to get out of bed, how can I command the movement of the army." ”

Shangguan Ningxuan answered: "General Sun, this time you led the army just in time, and we are asking you to help." Three days ago, I received a report that I knew the map of the troops of the Juli Kingdom in the imperial capital and the list of important personnel. Now that we have the forces at hand, we can wipe them all out and avenge the Queen. ”

As soon as she said this, Gongsun Ce and Li Hanfeng were not easy to talk to. Because she is not only a princess in name, but actually Wang Mang's most beloved woman. Under normal circumstances, outsiders cannot easily veto her approach, otherwise it will be unseemly.

In addition, Gongsun Ce and the others also knew that their persuasion was useless, and Shangguan Ningxuan would definitely not listen. Therefore, although they didn't want Shangguan Ningxuan to do it brutally, they didn't veto.

Sun Chongshan frowned and pondered slightly.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, the people of the Juli Kingdom actually dare to murder the Queen Mother and assassinate the Lord of the Prison Country, we really want to seek justice from them and take revenge. And you have also learned some of their situation, princess, and it stands to reason that we should act in time to suppress them and regain the lost territory.

However, His Majesty said in advance, saying that it was a prerequisite for recovering the control of Qingzhou City and stabilizing the situation in the imperial capital was not to drag the people into the water, and not to let them suffer from the fish in the pond. If we launch a fierce counterattack now, we are sure that the people of the Great Glory Kingdom will not retaliate, and the people will suffer. Therefore, I suggest that this matter should be well planned and not impulsive, so as not to affect the overall situation of His Majesty. ”

"I don't know what you're talking about. However, the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband. The two armies fought, and it was inevitable that the soldiers would be killed and wounded. General Sun doesn't have to worry, Your Majesty has me to deal with, you just have to listen to the Xuan. Shangguan Ningxuan replied.

"Well...," Sun Chongshan hesitated: "Your Royal Highness Princess, in the last future, Your Majesty has repeatedly instructed and asked me to pass it on to you on my behalf."

Your Majesty said that everything is fine with me, and I will be able to lead the army back to the imperial capital in the near future, so please don't worry about it, don't worry about it. Everything should be based on stability, everything should be based on leaving the green mountains without worrying about no firewood, and some things that are lost are only temporary, and there will always be a day when they will be regained in the future. If Your Royal Highness the Princess insists on sending troops to confront the people of the Great Beauty, the general will obey the order. It's just His Majesty's side...."

"That's what he said? This bastard knows how to endure. Shangguan Ningxuan gritted her teeth in anger and couldn't help but scold.

Sun Chongshan, Sun Ce, Li Hanfeng, and the old god were there, but they didn't hear it.

Wang Mang, as the Son of Heaven, is admired by everyone, and the people in the world who dare to scold him in front of others are not only those disobedient ministers and barbarians, but Shangguan Ningxuan and Wang Jingyan have this privilege, but others cannot, once it leaks out, it is a great crime of rebellion.

Shangguan Ningxuan seemed to have lost some of her anger after scolding, and she also seemed to know that she was a little out of shape, and her face showed a little embarrassment.

She can scold Wang Mang as much as she wants, and even shout and kill in front of Wang Mang, Wang Mang doesn't care about anything, only flirting.

But this kind of thing can't be said to others, otherwise it will be out of shape, after all, the identity is there, and some rules still have to be followed.

"Since Your Majesty has said so, then I have no choice but to obey the order. We have many difficulties in recovering the control of Qingzhou and stabilizing the situation in the imperial capital. In my opinion, we can first secretly contact the other ministers and talk to them.

Now these ministers are forced by the people of the Juli Kingdom to dare not leave their homes, and there is no news. If they are on the line at this time, it will definitely be beneficial to our plans. When we get in touch with them, we will first regain control of the areas outside the imperial capital, surround the imperial capital from the border areas, and slowly encroach on them, trying to avoid the main force of the Juli Kingdom. ”
