Liu Ji and the Broken Army had just defeated the armies of Dawan and Cheshi outside Cilisi City, and got the news that the Empress Dowager Zhou had been poisoned, and this news was sent by Liu Heng, the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, to the Zhengjun General's Mansion in Chengyin City with carrier pigeons, and then forwarded it from the Zhengling General's Mansion to Zhilisi City.

Xiangcheng princess Liu Qingmei learned that the Empress Dowager Zhou was poisoned, almost heartbroken, although the Empress Dowager Zhou is not the biological mother of the Xiangcheng princess Liu Qingmei, but the Xiangcheng princess Liu Qingmei grew up beside the Empress Dowager Zhou, and the Empress Dowager Zhou almost regarded the Xiangcheng princess Liu Qingmei as her own, so the pregnant Xiangcheng princess Liu Qingmei, despite her pregnancy, was ready to go back to Canglong City in person to mourn the filial piety of the Empress Dowager Zhou, but was temporarily stopped by Liu Ji's other wife Zhang Wanting.

At the same time, Chengyin City also reported the news that the four deputy palace masters of Guanghan Palace, Pang Wenyan, Chu Xiushu, Chen Xiuyan and Xu Lijiao, as well as twelve personal disciples Shen Muqing, Zhang Yingying, Tan Ruofei, Su Ruoyu, Xie Fangfei, Wang Yuyan, Ding Mei, Liu Yueting, Lu Xueshan, Lu Yaoyi, Huang Menglu and Wu Shuchang, arrived in Chengyin City together.

The four deputy palace masters of Guanghan Palace and the twelve personal disciples are now pregnant with Liu Ji's children, so they have to escape from Guanghan Palace and go to Chengyin City to join Liu Ji, in addition, they also kidnapped Zheng Ruoxuan, the palace master of Yaoguang Palace, Cao Lanshu, the palace master of Tianji Palace, Xu Fenghui, the palace master of Tianxuan Palace, and Qin Xingxin and Wei Fengying, the two deputy palace masters of Tianxuan Palace, were also kidnapped to Chengyin City.

On the morning of July 16, 428 of the Great Jin Dynasty, in the city lord's mansion in Zhilisi City, Liu Ji frowned and asked Zhang Liang, Jia Xu, Fang Xuanling, Fan Zeng, Li Ru, Chen Gong, Xun Yu and Xun You, "What do you think about the fact that the Empress Dowager Zhou was poisoned?" ”

Zhang Liang said in a deep voice: "My lord, the power of the Great Jin Dynasty is nominally in the hands of the Empress Dowager Zhou, and now that the Empress Dowager Zhou has been poisoned, the emperor and the thirteenth family will definitely start a series of battles around the rights of the imperial court, and even it is not impossible to meet each other, after all, it is rumored in the capital that the Empress Dowager Zhou was poisoned by the thirteenth family." ”

Liu Ji frowned even tighter and asked, "Is it possible for the Thirteenth Family to poison the Empress Dowager Zhou?" ”

Zhang Liang continued: "In the past, the power of the Great Jin Dynasty was nominally controlled by the Empress Dowager Zhou, but because the forbidden army in the capital was all controlled by the Thirteenth Family, the rights of the Great Jin Dynasty were actually controlled by the Thirteenth Family, and the Empress Dowager Zhou had always had a tolerant attitude towards the Thirteenth Family, and the Thirteenth Family had no need to poison the Empress Dowager Zhou, and the subordinates suspected that the murderer who poisoned the Empress Dowager Zhou should be someone else, but who it was, the subordinates were not clear. ”

Jia Xu, Fang Xuanling, Fan Zeng, Li Ru, Chen Gong, Xun Yu and Xun You immediately nodded in agreement, they all thought that it should not be the Thirteenth Family who sent someone to poison the Empress Dowager Zhou, after all, poisoning the Empress Dowager Zhou is not good for the Thirteenth Family, and even the death of the Empress Dowager Zhou is still a little unfavorable to the Thirteenth Family.

Liu Ji sighed and said: "I also feel that it is impossible for the Thirteenth Family to poison the Empress Dowager Zhou, but I can't think of who the murderer will be?" ”

Then Liu Ji turned his head to Jia Xu and asked, "Does Heishuitai have any clues in this regard?" ”

Jia Xu shook his head and said: "Regarding the real culprit behind the poisoning of the Empress Dowager Zhou, we don't have any clues in Heishuitai, but there is a piece of information from the capital, it seems that the emperor has made a lot of actions after the Empress Dowager Zhou was poisoned, and almost all of these actions are aimed at the thirteenth family, presumably the emperor should have listened to that rumor." ”

After a pause, Jia Xu continued: "The various counterinsurgency troops returning from the seven southeastern states are now gathered on the outskirts of the capital, among which the armies of Liu Chong, Liu Yuan, Pizhou, and Liu Du, the governor of Qinzhou, should all be on the emperor's side, but if the emperor really attacks the thirteenth family, the emperor's side will undoubtedly be defeated. ”

Liu Ji pondered for a while and said: "Now the armies of Dawan and Cheshi have retreated to Olun Province, before the second batch of troops of Dawan Kingdom, Cheshi Country and Anxi Country arrive, our Broken Army and the Western Regions Four Nations Alliance Army should not break out too much battle, I am ready to take this opportunity to go back to Chengyin City, Princess Xiangcheng learned that the Empress Dowager Zhou was poisoned, and her mood was very unstable, and she has been going to Canglong City to pay tribute to the Empress Dowager Zhou." ”

Zhang Liang and others did not object to Liu Ji's return to Chengyin City, Zhang Liang and these ministers originally thought that Liu Ji should not come to the battlefield in person, in case Liu Ji had any accidents on the battlefield, the army would lose its backbone.

Zhang Liang didn't know that Liu Ji could currently absorb a large amount of soul points on the battlefield, and then use the soul points to exchange for elite troops.

If it weren't for the fact that a few days ago, Liu Ji used his soul value to exchange 7,500 soldiers in the camp and 4,800 Han Dynasty Tiger Army, and the Broken Army would not have the strength to start a second night battle against the army of Dawan and Cheshi, and it would not have driven the armies of Dawan and Cheshi out of Huhesa Province.

In fact, Liu Ji will become a yin city this time, in addition to comforting Liu Qingmei, the pregnant princess of Xiangcheng, he is also going to take down Zheng Ruoxuan, the palace master of Yaoguang Palace, Cao Lanshu, the palace master of Tianji Palace, Xu Fenghui, the palace master of Tianxuan Palace, and Qin Xingxin and Wei Fengying, the two deputy palace masters of Tianxuan Palace, so as not to have too many dreams at night.

The news that these three palace masters and two deputy palace masters of Guanghan Palace were kidnapped by the women of Guanghan Palace to Chengyin City, once known by Guanghan Palace, Guanghan Palace will definitely send people to Chengyin City to rescue, in that case, it will not affect the pond fish.

After all, in the Capture General's Mansion in Chengyin City, Liu Ji only left a puppet bodyguard with the strength of a peerless general, although Chen Xiuyan of Guanghan Palace also has the strength of a peerless general, but Chen Xiuyan has been made belly bigger by Liu Ji, and her strength will be greatly reduced, and there are a large number of masters in Guanghan Palace who have the strength of peerless generals.

Liu Ji returned to the Conquest General's Mansion in Chengyin City this time, and he was also preparing to leave a few more puppet bodyguards with peerless military strength in the Conquest General's Mansion to protect his family.

Liu Ji then appointed Zhang Liang to temporarily replace himself and command all the troops of the Broken Army in Huhesa Province, Shakhtinsk Province, and Lisakos Province, while Liu Ji himself took eleven puppet bodyguards with peerless military strength and twenty-two puppet bodyguards with top military strength, one with three war horses, and on the afternoon of July 16, he embarked on the road back to Chengyin City.

In the room of an inn in Pingxi City, the capital of the Western Regions, Liu Yan, the deputy palace master of Kaiyang Palace, said to Li Qin, the palace master of Kaiyang Palace, in a deep voice: "Palace master, just now came the news that Liu Ji led the Broken Army to destroy the more than 2 million troops of the Dawan Kingdom and the Cheshi Kingdom outside the Zhilisi City in the Huhesa Province of Gaochang State, and the remaining less than 700,000 Dawan troops and the Cheshi State army have been defeated and retreated from Cilic City. ”

Lin Xien, another deputy palace master of Kaiyang Palace, frowned and said: "I didn't expect the combat power of the Broken Army to be so amazing, even the coalition forces of the four great powers in the Western Regions were not able to bargain in front of the Broken Army. ”

Kaiyang Palace Master Li Qin snorted coldly and said, "It is precisely because of this that we must eradicate Liu Ji as soon as possible, Liu Ji is definitely the biggest obstacle for our Guanghan Palace to control the Jin Kingdom!" ”

Li Qin, the palace master of Kaiyang Palace in Guanghan Palace, and Liu Yan and Lin Xien, the two deputy palace masters of Kaiyang Palace, chased all the way from Canglong City in the Great Jin Dynasty to Pingxi City in the Western Regions Protectorate, just to assassinate Liu Ji, but unfortunately Liu Ji has always been in the army, and these three masters of Guanghan Palace with peerless military strength have no chance at all.

Later, Liu Ji led the army to continue to the west to meet the Western Regions Four Nations Alliance, Li Qin, Liu Yan and Lin Xien discussed, did not continue to follow Liu Ji, the three of them decided to wait for news in Pingxi City, if Liu Ji was defeated and died, it would be the best, if Liu Ji was still alive under the attack of the Western Regions Four Nations Alliance, then the three of them would find an opportunity to solve Liu Ji in the Western Regions Protectorate, and not let Liu Ji return to the territory of the Jin Kingdom alive.

Liu Yan, the deputy palace master of Kaiyang Palace, hesitated for a moment and said, "Have we been waiting like this in Pingxi City?" Looking at the posture of the Broken Army, this war between the Broken Army and the four major powers of the Western Regions, in a short period of time, I am afraid it will be difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser! ”

Li Qin, the palace master of Kaiyang Palace, pondered for a moment and said: "Liu Ji has been under the protection of millions of troops, although the three of us have the qualifications to be on the peerless list of fierce generals, but if you want to take Liu Ji's life in a million army, it is almost impossible to succeed, Pingxi City is the capital of the Western Regions Protectorate, if Liu Ji is alive, there will definitely be a time to come to Pingxi City, and when Liu Ji comes to Pingxi City, it will be when he dies." ”

Li Qin, Liu Yan and Lin Xien didn't expect Liu Ji to appear in Pingxi City so soon, and they happened to find out.

What surprised Li Qin, Liu Yan and Lin Xien even more was that Liu Ji with more than 30 guards did not stay in Pingxi City for long, and soon left from the east gate of Pingxi City and continued to gallop to the east, so Li Qin, Liu Yan and Lin Xien quickly rode after them.

On the evening of July 17, 428 of the Great Jin Dynasty, Liu Ji rode to a small town in Xizhou with thirty-three puppet bodyguards.

Xizhou is the former Sarma Province of the Eastern Governor of Gaochang Kingdom, with an area of up to 600,000 square kilometers, and Pingxi City, the capital of the Western Regions Protectorate, is in the territory of Xizhou.

Because Liu Ji and the puppet bodyguards are all one person and three horses, they can constantly change cars on the way, so their speed is very fast, at this speed, even if they don't rush at night, in more than a day, Liu Ji can return to Chengyin City with the puppet bodyguards.

In the middle of the night on July 17, when Liu Ji was asleep, he was suddenly awakened by the sound of fighting outside, and when Liu Ji walked out of the room of the inn, he could see by the moonlight that there were three women in strong suits, who were fighting with their puppet bodyguards in the courtyard of the inn.

"Master, these three women are assassins, and we have two brothers who are on the night vigil killed by them!" Liu Rui, a puppet bodyguard whose force value reached 103 points, said to Liu Ji in a calm tone.

At this time, at the door of Liu Ji's room, including Liu Rui, there were eight puppet bodyguards with a force value of more than 100 points, and the other three puppet bodyguards with a force value of more than 100 points were fighting with three women in strong suits one-on-one, and the remaining puppet bodyguards with the strength of top generals were surrounded by the courtyard.

Liu Ji immediately became angry when he heard this, the puppet bodyguard next to him, the lowest strength is also a top general, but now he has been killed by two people here, this loss is really a bit big.

Liu Ji immediately used the scanning function of the system to check the four-dimensional values of the three women in the power suit, and then Liu Ji showed a very surprised expression.

The names of these three women, Liu Ji had heard from the women of Guanghan Palace before, Li Qin, a stunning beauty with a force value of 104 points and a charm value of 95 points, was the palace master of Kaiyang Palace in Guanghan Palace, Liu Yan, who had a force value of 101 points and a charm value of 94 points, and Lin Xien, who had a force value of 102 points and a charm value of 93 points, were all deputy palace masters of Kaiyang Palace.

Liu Ji's first reaction when he saw Li Qin, Liu Yan and Lin Xien was that he had forcibly occupied the four deputy palace masters of Guanghan Palace and the twelve personal disciples, and he was suddenly a little anxious, you must know that once Guanghan Palace sent many masters with peerless military strength to attack the Conquest General's Mansion in Chengyin City, then Liu Ji's father, sister and many wives and concubines who stayed in the Conquest General's Mansion would face considerable danger.

Liu Ji immediately waved his hand, and let six puppet bodyguards with peerless military strength join the battle in the courtyard of the inn, and suddenly Li Qin, Liu Yan and Lin Xien, each of them were besieged by three peerless generals, thanks to Liu Ji shouted, let the puppet bodyguards try to capture alive, otherwise Li Qin, Liu Yan and Lin Xien will definitely not see the sun tomorrow morning.

The three puppet bodyguards who besieged Li Qin were Liu Zhi with a force value of 104 points, Liu Qian with a force value of 103 points and Liu Lin with a force value of 103 points.

Li Qin is a woman after all, and she has never experienced such a scene, and in the panic, a negligence in her hand was picked off by Liu Zhi, and then Liu Qian and Liu Lin's long knives were put on Li Qin's shoulders one by one.

When Liu Ji saw that Li Qin, the palace master of Kaiyang Palace, was captured alive, he immediately shouted loudly: "The remaining assassins quickly lay down their weapons, otherwise they will slaughter your accomplices!" ”

Liu Yan and Lin Xien only saw that the palace master Li Qin had fallen into the hands of the enemy, and when Liu Yan hesitated, the long knife in her hand was also picked off, and then the two long knives were also on her shoulders, and only the remaining Lin Xien finally sighed secretly and threw the long lance in his hand to the ground.
