Under the guidance of Shangguan Qian, Yuan Rui's martial arts made rapid progress, and in just a few days, both the durability of the horse steps and the accuracy and explosiveness of the punches made Shangguan Qian quite satisfied.

"Senior Shangguan, you are too partial! Brother Rui has begun to learn boxing and kicking, but I am still riding a horse, what is there to do with this horse? Sun Qian couldn't help but complain. Because Shangguan Qian insisted on refusing to regard himself as a master, in the end, Yuan Rui and they could only be commensurate with their predecessors.

Shangguan Qian helplessly explained: "Princess, don't be impetuous and compare with each other in martial arts, you must know that if you don't lay a good foundation, even if you practice the later moves well, it will be in vain!" ”

Yuan Rui was obviously a little proud: "Xiaoqian, don't envy me, who made me more talented than you?" ”

The two of them were practicing well, and the housekeeper Chen Bo ran over with a panicked expression: "Your Highness hasn't heard of it, the Southern Liang army has invaded, and it is said that passing all the way is like entering a no-man's land, and several states in the south have been lost." Now the people of the entire Luoyang City are panicking, and I heard that many rich businessmen are secretly packing up their belongings and preparing to run away! ”

Yuan Rui was shocked, for many years, the Southern Liang was indulged in pleasure and did not want to forge ahead, as long as he could maintain the rule of the Great Wei River, he was satisfied, so that now the Great Wei monarchs and ministers have forgotten to fully guard against him, and continue to draw troops from the border states and counties into the northern battlefield, sure enough, once the Southern Liang took advantage of the chaos to invade, there was an accident on the border, and he asked Chen Bo: "What is the specific battle situation?" ”

Chen Bozhi hesitated: "The envoy of the war zone has entered the palace, and the specific battle situation is not clear to the old slave, anyway, it is a big defeat for our army!" ”

Yuan Rui glared at Uncle Chen: "Prepare the horse, this king is going to enter the palace." At the same time, he didn't forget to tell him, "Before the matter is clear, don't follow the people outside to make a fool of yourself!" ”

Uncle Chen nodded in agreement and walked away quickly.

The envoy of the Xuzhou defenders is still on the way to the palace at the moment, but there are already a few happy and a few sad families in the palace. Cui Jiaren officially entered the palace today to canonize Zhaoyi, and went to the queen Hu Bizhu to greet her according to the etiquette. And Yuan Yao was worried that Hu Bizhu would have a crazy attack and do something excessive to Cui Jiaren, so he specially sent four or five guards to accompany him, and told him to be careful with the guards, and not to let Hu Bizhu hurt Cui Jiaren in the slightest.

The group waited until Hu Bizhu's Lantian Palace, and Cui Jiaren motioned for the guards to wait at the door. Guards, you look at me, I look at you, looking embarrassed, for fear that if Cui Jiaren makes a mistake inside, his head will not be guaranteed.

Of course, Cui Jiaren knew the concerns of the guards, but she was also very embarrassed, and she had also seen the queen's temper, if she brought so many people inside, it would be tantamount to demonstrating to her, and she was even more afraid of her own prejudices. At this time, a guard named Pan Liang suggested: "It's better to accompany Zhaoyi into it alone, it won't look aggressive, and if something happens, it won't be unanswered, Zhaoyi can see it?" ”

Cui Jiaren bowed slightly: "That's all!" ”

The two entered, and before Cui Jiaren could speak, Hu Bizhu said in a strange manner: "It turns out that my concubine Dawei greeted the queen and brought guards, but the palace didn't know it before, but today is a long insight!" ”

Seeing that Cui Jiaren was stunned for a while, Pan Liang bowed his head and replied respectfully to Hu Bizhu: "I was ordered to greet the queen with Cui Zhaoyi, and Zhaoyi was also very helpless about this. ”

Hu Bizhu looked at Pan Liang carefully, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "What a good one to act on orders." What is your name? ”

Pan Liang: "Humble Pan Liang." ”

After a few brief greetings, Hu Bizhu waved her hand to let Cui Jiaren step back. Cui Jiaren was a little surprised, I thought this place was the Longtan Tiger's Den, I didn't think it was anything special, maybe the queen behaved a little abnormally on the day of Chongyang, and it wasn't so terrible on weekdays.

Several guards were escorting Cui Jiaren back to her Ziyun Palace, and suddenly An Shu, the palace maid beside Hu Bizhu, came quickly and asked everyone arrogantly, "Who of you is Pan Liang?" ”

Pan Liang replied cautiously: "Humble Pan Liang, I don't know what is the important matter for Miss An to find a lowly position?" ”

An Shu rolled his eyes up and threw Pan Liang two whites of his eyes: "The queen said that you just left something in Lantian Palace, go back and get it with me!" ”

Pan Liang groped for a while, and asked suspiciously: "Did the queen mention what she had fallen into her humble position?" ”

An Shu looked impatient: "I didn't say it!" ”

Pan Liang stood still, rubbing his hands constantly, not knowing whether to continue to escort Cui Jiaren to Ziyun Palace, or follow An Shu back to Lantian Palace. Cui Jiaren saw that Pan Liang was embarrassed, turned his head to him and said, "My lord, take care of yourself, there are so many adults here, this palace will be fine." ”

With Cui Jiaren's permission, Pan Liang went with An Shu. As soon as he stepped into the gate of Lantian Palace, An Shu immediately quietly retreated to the door and locked the door from the outside.

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Pan Liang broke out in a cold sweat, hurriedly turned around and returned to the door, and was about to go to the palace gate, but heard Hu Bizhu's lazy voice from the inner room: "What? Do you have to leave as soon as you come in? ”

Pan conscience was up and down, he had long heard that the queen was ruthless, and she had just spoken out to relieve Cui Jiaren, so she wouldn't anger her, and now she has to punish herself, right? Thinking that Qin Zhisheng was chopped off three fingers by her, Pan Liang hurriedly knelt down: "Don't dare to be humble, it is difficult to disobey the emperor's order, and I ask the queen to forgive me!" ”

Hu Bizhu: "You have a good attitude of confessing your guilt, and the palace is not embarrassed for you, take off your clothes!" ”

Pan Liang: "Ah......? ”

Hu Bizhu: "Take it off!" ”

Pan Liang didn't dare to say more, and took off his coat tremblingly.

Hu Bizhu: "The clothes inside are also taken off!" ”

Pan Liang took off one piece, and Hu Bizhu ordered him to take off another one until he stripped his whole body naked. Pan Liang was so frightened that his hairs stood on end at this moment, and he stood naked in the hall, and the breeze blew through the crack in the door, and he couldn't help but shiver.

Hu Bizhu's voice sounded again: "Come in!" ”

Pan Liang trembled into the inner room, and was immediately startled by the sight, only to see Hu Bizhu sitting naked on the edge of the bed, looking at himself with Erlang's legs crossed with interest, so frightened that he quickly pounced and knelt down again, his head lying on the ground and not daring to raise half a minute.

Hu Bizhu couldn't help but say, pulled Pan Liang up, pressed him on the bed, and kissed him in the eyes and mouth.

Although this Hu Bizhu is not good-looking, Pan Liang didn't dare to open his eyes at all, he was kissed by a woman from top to bottom, and the soft touch unique to the woman kept coming from the skin contact, and the nose smelled the milky fragrance emanating from Hu Bizhu's body, and the stunning appearance of Yingyanfang Oiran Ruoyan appeared in his mind, and his body gradually reacted, turned over and pressed Hu Bizhu, and galloped freely on her.

When the rain stopped, Pan Liang picked up Hu Bizhu's clothes next to the bed and put them on for her, and suddenly saw a few pieces of red on the white sheets, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Is it the first time for the queen?" ”

Hu Bizhu was still wearing peach blossoms just now, and her face was intoxicated, but when she heard this, her face instantly changed, and she kicked Pan Liang out of bed: "Get out!" ”

Pan Liang got dressed and left in a gloomy manner. Hu Bizhu leaned naked on the head of the bed, staring at the beam of the room with her eyes. After a long time, two lines of tears slid down the corners of his eyes.

There is no doubt that these tears are shed for Yuan Yao, but Yuan Yao doesn't care about how this "crazy woman" feels, not to mention that he doesn't have that leisure now. At this moment, he was worriedly discussing with the Empress Dowager and Yuan Rui how to deal with the invasion of the Liang army. As soon as the envoy left after reporting the military situation to the Queen Mother and Yuan Yao, Yuan Rui immediately entered the palace to ask for a meeting, and the Queen Mother simply asked him to consult the details together.

"What is the strength of the Liang army?" Yuan Rui asked directly.

Queen Mother: "There are not many Liang troops, only 10,000 troops, and the commander has never heard of it before, what is it called Xing Feng." ”

Yuan Rui: "The minister thought that Nanliang was pouring out of the country, so it seems that the situation is not particularly grim. ”

Queen Mother: "It's strange that although the Liang army only has 10,000 horses, it has conquered several counties in Southern Xuzhou and Xuzhou in just a few days, and Huaiyang, Suiyang, Xiapi, Pengcheng, and Liang counties have all been lost one after another. "Xuzhou borders Sizhou, where Luoyang is located, and once the Liang army enters Sizhou, it means that it is not far from Luoyang, the capital division.

Yuan Rui couldn't believe his ears: "Unbelievable, could it be that this Xing Feng is also a battle wizard like Sun Rong?" Queen Mother, can the ministers be willing to go out with the army to drive out the invading enemy. ”

Yuan Yao: "Yuan Rui, how are the monks doing to return to the laity?" ”

Yuan Rui: "Everything is going well, but it's a little reluctant to rely on them in the short term." ”

The Queen Mother immediately decided: "I can't take care of so much now, Yuan Rui, you prepare, tomorrow as a deputy general, Lin Tianyi will lead 80,000 Yulin south to resist the Liang army!" "This Lin Tianyi was the supervisor of Yulin at the time, and when Hu Yan was in Jingzhou Assassin History, he was promoted step by step from Shichang, so he has been loyal to the Hu family for many years.

Yuan Yao frowned and said: "Yulin is the main force to defend the Jing Division, if they are all brought to the front line, in case the Beijing Division changes, ......"

Queen Mother: "When Xing Feng collects and surrenders all the way to Luoyang, it will be too late!" Maybe they have entered the territory of Sizhou at this moment, and the more hesitant they are, the more disadvantageous it will be for us. ”

Yuan Rui also felt that the Queen Mother was analytical, and the enemy could not be underestimated even if he could break the city all the way, and the top priority was to exterminate it with all his might. It was confirmed that he would go on the expedition tomorrow, and it didn't take long for Yuan Rui to return to the house.

Thinking that he was about to go into battle to kill the enemy, Yuan Rui couldn't help but feel a little nervous in his heart, but there was a trace of excitement in the nervousness, if it wasn't for Hu Xiude's death that day, he should still be confronting Yu Chenglie in the northern battlefield now.

Back at the palace, Sun Qian asked him with concern how the situation was, and when he learned that Yuan Rui would go on an expedition tomorrow, he couldn't help but feel sad. Shangguan Qian said with relief: "If you have followed Your Highness, you can rest assured, princess." ”

Yuan Rui looked at Shangguan Qian in surprise when he heard this, and was about to affirm that he didn't say that he wanted to take you with him, but after thinking about it, this Shangguan Qian's kung fu is invincible, and he can increase a lot of combat power with him, so he changed his words and said: "In this way, there are seniors who have to worry about it!" ”

Hearing that Shangguan Qian also went on the expedition together, Sun Qian was also a lot relieved. Yuan Rui was arranging all the affairs of the palace after he left, and Uncle Chen came over to report again: "There is a master who claims to be a contemplative mind outside the door who asks to see him. ”

Yuan Rui stood up suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked Uncle Chen to invite, and at the same time explained to Sun Qian and Shangguan Qian: "This Master of Mind Contemplation was met by me when I traveled abroad a few years ago, he is a strange person, obviously his family is rich and rivals the country, but he just ran away to become a monk!" And his master is even more legendary, it is said that when he stepped on a reed to cross the river from Nanliang to my Great Wei, he then went to the whole wall in Songshan for nine years in order to realize the Tao to save the common people. ”
