The cavalry did not stay in Gyeongju for long, and immediately rushed to the capital to report the victory.

The army captured Liuzhou, the last time the good news of the victory of Qilipo was worthy of reaching the capital, the cavalry of the victory was beaming with joy all the way to the hurry, and every time they arrived at the post station, they could attract bursts of cheers.

Since the emperor's personal expedition, the capital has been much quieter, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division has strengthened its patrols, and the Jinyi Guard and the Internal Guard Division have also been active.

The Nanshan battalion was moved to within fifty miles of the capital, and was on standby at any time.

Even the palace guards have strengthened their rotation, and the time for the palace gate to be locked has also been advanced. The palace was a lot deserted, and Lin Lan, who was originally the most lively, also quieted down because of his increasing nostalgia.

In the Qianqing Palace, Rong Xuan was tired after just watching the music for a while, and sat there with her eyes closed to rest.

The eldest princess of Ningyang stretched her waist and said a little lazily: "I'm so tired!" Why do you have so many concerts! ”

Rong Xuan sighed: "I finally realized the emperor's hard work!" ”

Chuncao and Dongxue personally presented the white fungus soup, although they are now concubines, but they still often serve in front of Rong Xuan, but they are not pampered and proud.

The eldest princess of Ningyang took it and took a sip and then put it aside, and said lazily: "It's hard, this man likes to ask for hardships, what do you want to be the emperor?" ”

Rong Xuan couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, the emperor didn't ask for hardship, Tang Ning didn't want to be the emperor at the beginning, he was completely forced.

The eldest princess of Ningyang suddenly snorted and laughed: "You said, the emperor has to drive the expedition in person, is it because he is too tired to deal with state affairs, so he throws the court affairs to us and goes out for a walk by himself?" ”

Rong Xuan nodded a little funny: "Maybe it's true!" Go down to the south of the Yangtze River to relax, and you can pick a few beauties of the Southern Dynasty to enrich the harem, is it better than dealing with political affairs in Beijing? ”

Although Rong Xuan said this, her heart was actually a little heavy.

The eldest princess of Ningyang also saw that she was worried, so she deliberately said this to explain her, after all, she was pregnant.

It is because of this that Rong Xuan followed the words of the eldest princess of Ningyang, in fact, she hoped that the emperor would be like what they said, going south is to relax, enjoy the scenery of the south, pick a few beauties of the Southern Dynasty and then return to the dynasty with beauty.

She would rather the emperor pull a boatload of beauties back to the dynasty than the emperor leading his troops to fight and take risks.

Rong Xuan looked out the window and said in a daze: "I don't know how the battle of Liuzhou went?" ”

The eldest princess of Ningyang said with a smile: "The emperor is open-minded, General Lin, General Yao and others are all famous generals who can fight well, bravely and strategically, maybe now the good news is already on the way!" ”

As soon as the eldest princess of Ningyang finished speaking, the sound of hurried footsteps came to mind, and a little eunuch walked into the warm pavilion and immediately knelt on the ground, and said excitedly: "Queen Qiyu, eldest princess Qiyu, great victory!" Gyeongju has sent good news! ”

Rong Xuan said excitedly: "Really? ”

The little eunuch said excitedly: "Queen Mother, the good news is here!" ”

Chuncao excitedly stepped forward to take the good news, opened it and handed it to Rong Xuan.

Rong Xuan took it and couldn't wait to look at it, let out a long breath, and said happily: "The army defeated the enemy army in Qilipo, beheading countless people, and moreover, the army of the desolate clan also defeated the enemy army in Qinzhen, but there were two happy events in succession. ”

After saying that, Rong Xuan handed the good news to the eldest princess, and after the eldest princess took it and looked at it carefully, she said with a smile: "I didn't expect the Chu army to have the courage to go out to fight in the field, but after this battle, the Chu army has no sharpness, it can attack, retreat can defend, and the initiative is all in our army!" ”

Rong Xuan was also happy when he heard this, after this battle, the Chu army did not dare to send troops to fight in the field, and the next thing was the siege battle, how could the emperor personally go into battle to attack the city.

Rong Xuan breathed a sigh of relief in her heart and asked, "What about the person who reported the victory?" Announce him in! ”

The little eunuch heard it and immediately rushed to announce the summons, and at this time, the news of the great victory also spread quickly from the palace gate.

The cavalry who reported the victory was very tired in the dust, but his face was full of excitement, and the palace gate guards were surrounding him and asking questions.

"The Battle of Qilipo, Your Majesty sits in the rear army, the general commands the battle, the morale of our army is greatly boosted, and the Chu army is defeated and retreated, but Wei Qingfeng is not a famous general, and he actually hid his back hand, which is very insidious......"

The cavalry was spitting and talking, and the little eunuch hurriedly walked over and shouted, "Come with me, the queen mother and the eldest princess will summon you." ”

The cavalryman, who was spitting and talking, was suddenly stunned, stopped talking, pointed to his nose and asked, "What?" The queen mother and the eldest princess summoned? Summoning me? ”

The little eunuch said angrily: "Of course it's you, the queen mother wants to ask about the situation ahead, come with me, don't let the queen mother and the eldest princess wait for a long time!" ”

was summoned by the queen mother and the eldest princess, and the cavalry was suddenly a little stunned, he thought that he would get a reward if he came to report the victory, and he was blessed to be summoned by the queen mother.

Flattered and at the same time the cavalry was also a little restrained, this gallop, he looked dirty in the dust, but don't bump into the nobles.

The little eunuch urged: "Hey, what are you doing in a daze? Come on! ”

The little eunuch left with the cavalry, leaving the guards at the palace gate dumbfounded, why was it so coincidental, and he was called away when he was talking about it.

You're done! What is Wei Qingfeng hiding? How is Wei Qingfeng insidious? Hang people's appetites, but you pat your ass and flash people, what is this called!

The cavalry was led into the palace, and followed the little eunuch without squinting along the way, and the little eunuch instructed very kindly: "After entering the Qianqing Palace, you must pay respects, and don't look indiscriminately so as not to collide with the nobles......"

The cavalry who reported the victory nodded again and again, lowered their heads and followed into the Qianqing Palace, and walked towards the warm pavilion.

The little eunuch said respectfully: "Queen Qiyu, eldest princess, the cavalry who reported the victory is here." ”

The cavalry didn't dare to raise his head, and only saw the exquisite bead curtain in his eyes, so he quickly knelt down and said respectfully: "The villain Li Tie greets the queen mother, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose!" ”

Rong Xuan smiled: "Don't be formal, which battalion do you belong to?" ”

Although the queen said that the queen said that there was no need to be formal, the cavalry still knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "The villain is the cavalry of the Xiao Cavalry Guard. ”

Rong Xuan heard this, it turned out to be the cavalry of the Xiao Cavalry Guard, no wonder he was able to come to Beijing to report the news. Tang Ning entered Beijing from the Xiao Cavalry Guard, so the Xiao Cavalry Guard is naturally different from others, this time the Southern Expedition Nanshan Battalion stayed in the capital, and the Xiao Cavalry Guard became one of the guard battalions in front of Tang Ning's Imperial Palace.

Rong Xuan smiled and asked, "So, in the battle of Qilipo, you will be on the battlefield with the emperor?" ”

The cavalry said respectfully: "If you go back to Niangniang, the small one is on the battlefield." ”

Rong Xuan's heart sank when she heard this, the emperor did not stay in Gyeongju, but drove the expedition himself!
