Ling Xia and Xia Ning'er also received the news of the emperor's death, Xia Ning'er was emotional, and had to go back to the imperial capital to attend the emperor's funeral, but was stopped by Ling Xia.

At first, Xia Ning'er refused to listen to Ling Xia, and even sneaked away alone, but fortunately it was evening when she left, and after the onset of illness at night, she was found by Ling Xia, and after dawn, Ling Xia analyzed the situation in the imperial capital to Xia Ning'er.

The emperor's decree of succession selected the fourth prince Xia Yuanyou to inherit the throne, the queen has been promoted to the queen mother, Nangong Xiongbaguan has been reinstated, and even the national abbot has led troops to the imperial capital to help the new monarch stabilize the situation.

Let's put aside the two lines of soldiers and horses of the crown prince and the second prince, once Xia Ning'er returns to the imperial capital, she will definitely be controlled by the queen mother and placed under house arrest, and she will not only not be able to attend the emperor's funeral, but will also be used by the queen mother.

As long as the queen mother controls Xia Ning'er, it is equivalent to indirectly controlling Ziyanjiang and Liulijiang, although Liu Baiyu and Yao Xinyao are with them, but how dare the three of them resist the queen mother, as long as the other party says a word, Xia Ning'er will be placed under house arrest in the palace.

Although Xia Ning'er is strong in martial arts, there is no shortage of masters in the palace, as long as the princess is under house arrest by the queen mother, then she will not be able to release it for the rest of her life, although Xia Ning'er is a princess, but in front of the queen mother and the emperor, she is not an opponent at all.

After listening to Ling Xia's analysis, Xia Ning'er was still clamoring to go to the imperial capital, to attend the emperor's funeral, to send the emperor to the end, as long as she could see the emperor's last face, she would be willing to be under house arrest for life.

Xia Ning'er's willfulness and brutality completely angered Ling Xia, he was anxious and angry, and wanted to beat Xia Ning'er, but he couldn't beat her. wanted to scold her a few words, but was afraid of being beaten up, in desperation, Ling Xia suppressed the anger in his heart and asked her coldly.

"Princess, do you think the new emperor will tolerate your rudeness and willfulness? The crown prince and the second prince may not be able to attend the emperor's funeral, so why do you think you can attend the funeral? We care about your feelings, will the new emperor and queen mother care about your feelings?

Do you think you can see the emperor's body when you go to the imperial capital? What if the Queen Mother doesn't allow you to see it? Do you dare to disobey the Queen Mother's decree? Your princess shelf can be placed for me, and you can put it for those governors, do you dare to put it with the queen mother? ”

"You ----- you -----" Xia Ning'er was speechless by Ling Xia's repeated questions, she pointed at Ling Xia with her finger and glared at him with an annoyed expression, although Ling Xia's words made people uncomfortable after hearing, but it was undeniable that these words were indeed very reasonable.

Later, under the persuasion of Liu Baiyu, Yao Xinyao, and Li Jinxuan, and under the persuasion of Ling Xia's bitter words, Xia Ning'er finally calmed down and stopped making noise to return to the imperial capital.

Send Xia Ning'er back to Liulijiang, order Yao Xinyao, Li Jinxuan, and Liu Baiyu to take care of her, don't let her escape secretly, and after settling Xia Ning'er, Ling Xia returned to Ziyanjiang non-stop, and now there is a very urgent and tricky matter waiting for him.

After the division arrived at Ziyanjiang, Ling Xia sent them all to the disaster relief site, he did not favor his own descendants, but let those soldiers also participate in the disaster relief ranks, and eat and live with those war guards.

Originally, everything was fine, but no one expected that the emperor would die, Nangong Xiongbaguan would be reinstated, and the old department of the Praetorian Guard would be summoned from the air, most of the people under Ling Xia were from the Praetorian Guard, Nangong Xiongba shouted in the air, and there must be people below who have a floating military heart.

Hearing that the 3.4 million Praetorian Guards under the command of the crown prince had left the army and returned to the imperial capital, Ling Xia was very nervous, worried that there would also be an incident of army separation on his side, so on the way back from Liulijiang to Ziyanjiang, Ling Xia summoned Jiang Hailiu and other generals to assemble and report.

As soon as he returned to the Yamen of the Governor's Mansion of Ziyanjiang, Ling Xia put Boss Luo, Lao Cui, Jiang Hailiu, Feng Poyuan, Du Shan, He Rigui, Situ Chenfeng, Mu Guying, He Youzhen, Lu Yi'an, and Pei Nanpo. Yue Qianfeng, Ji Mo and the others shouted in front of him.

Looking at the generals in front of him, Ling Xia pondered for a moment, he first told everyone the news that the emperor had died, the four princes were enshrined to inherit the throne of the emperor, the Nangong Xiong overlord was reinstated, and the Praetorian Guards were ordered to return to the forbidden city.

Although everyone had heard the news before, their versions were all hearsay, after listening to Ling Xia's narration, everyone fell silent, and after a while, Ling Xia asked in a heavy tone: "

I don't want to hide it, after hearing this news, I am as entangled as you, I am also under the command of the Metropolitan Governor of Nangong, when I was in the imperial capital, the Metropolitan Governor of Nangong has a lot of support for me, and now he has been reinstated and wants us to go back to restore my life, it stands to reason that I should be the first to respond.

However, the current situation is chaotic, the national abbot and the governor of Nangong gathered more than 6 million soldiers to support the new monarch, the prince led 7 million soldiers and horses into the imperial capital to seize power, and the second prince also subdued Peng Tiangang, and gathered 10 million soldiers and horses under his command, and also seized power and became the emperor.

A confrontation of this scale already belongs to the "battle" level of competition, and in this level of confrontation, tens of thousands of us are also cannon fodder, because we are not surnamed Nangong, and we are not the core children of the Nangong family, and we can only take the lead and die when we go back.

Although the time with a few of you is very short, but everyone has the same interests, I appreciate and trust a few of you very much, and now that the governor has summoned the old department, the big guy must be entangled in his heart, so I called a few of you over to talk.

I just want to ask you, what are you going to do at this time? I hope that you can continue to stay in the division, but if you want to go back, I will not stop you, brothers, and I will allocate a sum of money to escort them on the road. ”

As soon as Ling Xia's words fell, Yue Qianfeng and Ji Mo immediately stood up and said: "General Qiyu, the two of us will first express our attitude, before coming, we talked to the soldiers under our command, and the big guys all chose to stay."

Although we had more than 3,000 soldiers from the Praetorian Guard, the brothers had gotten along very well in recent months, and I consulted with those men who were willing to stay in the division and continue to work with the general. ”

"We're not leaving." At this time, Boss Luo stood up angrily and said: "Our brothers followed the general at the beginning, and now they naturally follow the general, Shangguan Hui and Huya have asked the brothers below, most of them have been bullied by the four overlords of Nangong before, so they are unwilling to go back to the Praetorian Guard, and the big guys are willing to follow the general." ”

After listening to Yue Qianfeng and Boss Luo's statements, Jiang Hailiu's face showed a trace of embarrassment and embarrassment, and he hesitated, he reported according to the truth: "General, I can't hide it, after the last general and others heard the news that the Metropolitan Governor summoned the Praetorian Guards to return to the imperial capital, they really had some dilemmas. ”
