After Liu Ji was assassinated, several imperial doctors in the palace hurried to the scene of the assassination, preparing to treat Liu Ji, but Liu Ji did not let several imperial doctors come to check on his injuries.

You must know that at the scene of the assassination, many people saw Liu Ji being nailed to the ground with a spear, but now Liu Ji's stomach and back are unscathed.

Liu Ji sent away a few imperial doctors, and took nine generals including Lu Bu and thirty-nine puppet bodyguards who entered the palace, and under the leadership of the Gui Gonggong next to the Empress Dowager Zhou, they took advantage of the night to come to the dormitory where Princess Xiangcheng lived.

Gonggong Gui smiled and said to Liu Ji: "Master Ma, this time the Queen Mother also selected twelve talented and good-looking palace maids for Princess Xiangcheng, who will marry Princess Xiangcheng together with Princess Xiangcheng, and the Queen Mother also prepared a dowry of eighty cars for Princess Xiangcheng, and now the dowry of eighty cars is already waiting outside the palace." ”

If before the assassination, Liu Ji must be very happy to hear that the Empress Dowager Zhou will give him twelve talented and good-looking palace maids, maybe among the twelve talented and good-looking palace maids, there will be a few palace maids whose charm value can reach more than eighty points, then he can get a few more systematic lottery opportunities.

It's a pity that at this time, in order to save him, the lottery function is no longer available, so that when he heard that the Queen Mother gave him twelve talented and good-looking palace maids, Liu Ji just bared his teeth and smiled reluctantly.

At this moment, Liu Qingmei, the princess of Xiangcheng, who learned that Liu Ji had arrived outside the dormitory, walked out of the palace with twelve palace maids who accompanied the marriage, and after seeing Liu Ji, Liu Qingmei, the princess of Xiangcheng, made a blessing to Liu Ji, "Qingmei has seen the horse, is the injury on the horse important?" ”

Although Liu Qingmei, the princess of Xiangcheng, and the twelve palace maids who accompanied the marriage had veils on their faces at this time, Liu Ji was a little shocked, and the scanning function of the system was still there, so Liu Ji habitually let the system scan the four-dimensional value of Liu Qingmei, the princess of Xiangcheng, and the twelve palace maids.

As a result, Liu Ji was suddenly shocked, the charm value of the twelve palace maids was all above eighty points, and even three of them had a charm value of more than ninety points, two of them had a charm value of 91 points, and the other person's charm value was 92 points.

This is not what shocked Liu Ji the most, the most incredible thing for Liu Ji is Liu Qingmei, the princess of Xiangcheng, with a force value of 72, an intelligence value of 87, a commander value of 85, and a charm value of 98, this princess of Xiangcheng is not only a second-rate general, but also has more than 80 points in intelligence and commander, and the charm value of Princess Xiangcheng is as high as 98 points, Liu Ji has met a beauty with such a high charm value for the first time, and among the many beauties that Liu Ji has met before, none of them can reach 95 points.

Liu Ji listened to Liu Qingmei, the princess of Xiangcheng, and hurriedly said, "Gong...... Your Royal Highness Princess, it doesn't matter what injuries I have, now that the situation of the Western Regions Protectorate is critical, I can only grieve Her Royal Highness the Princess, and I haven't even held a wedding, so I have to let Her Royal Highness the Princess return to the Protectorate of the Western Regions with me to meet the coalition of the four powerful countries in the Western Regions! ”

Liu Qingmei, the princess of Xiangcheng, then said loudly: "Don't mind the horse, although Qingmei is a woman, she also knows the priority of the matter, now the four great powers of the Western Regions are about to invade the Western Regions Protectorate, and the horse is the protector of the Western Regions Protectorate, and leading the troops to resist the four great powers of the Western Regions is the most important thing, since Qingmei is married to the horse, she should support the horse, and don't have some courtesy!" ”

Xiangcheng Princess Liu Qingmei's words made Liu Ji very satisfied when he listened, "Haha! Good! Her Royal Highness said it well! In this case, please ask Her Royal Highness the princess to go out of the palace with me overnight, and the millions of soldiers of the Broken Army are outside Canglong City, waiting for their master mother to arrive! ”

Liu Qingmei, the princess of Xiangcheng, nodded immediately, "Don't worry, Qingmei has already asked people to pack up everything, so you can follow the horse to the Western Regions Protectorate!" ”

In addition to the 80 carriages of dowry prepared by the Queen Mother for Princess Xiangcheng, Princess Xiangcheng's own things were also loaded with 36 carriages, plus the four carriages of Princess Xiangcheng and the 12 wedding maids, a total of 120 carriages, in the middle of the night of March 2, from the east gate of Canglong City.

Originally, the Empress Dowager Zhou also prepared 300 guards and 200 eunuchs for the princess of Xiangcheng, and the coachman of the 120 carriages was played by the eunuchs, but after the convoy converged with the team of the Broken Army, Liu Ji sent the 300 guards and 200 eunuchs back to the palace, and the work of the coachman was taken over by the soldiers of the Broken Army.

According to Liu Ji's original plan, he was going to stay in Canglong City for one night, and then take Princess Xiangcheng out of the city the next day to join the team of the Broken Army, anyway, more than one million troops entered Zhenyuan Pass, and then exited from Hangu Pass, it would take at least three or four days, and it didn't matter if Liu Ji was delayed in Canglong City for a night.

But because he was assassinated in the Great Jin Palace, Liu Ji was unwilling to stay in Canglong City any longer, so he left Canglong City overnight and joined the team of the Broken Army outside the city.

After Liu Ji and Princess Xiangcheng left the palace, Liu Heng, the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, came to the Ci'en Palace where the Empress Dowager Zhou lived, "Queen Mother, why don't you let me see Liu Ji, I still want to ......"

Before Emperor Liu Heng's words were finished, he was interrupted by the Empress Dowager Zhou, "Your Majesty, if you go to see Liu Ji now, it won't play any role at all, as for the matter of wooing Liu Ji, your sister will help you, with Qingmei's appearance and intelligence, Liu Ji will definitely become the emperor's right-hand man in the future!" ”

"Queen Mother, I heard that Liu Ji was nailed to the ground with spears by assassins, but how could Liu Ji have nothing to do?"

"Hmph-don't let the people in the palace spread it anymore, if that's the case, where is Liu Ji's life!"

"I also think it's impossible, if a person is pierced by a spear, where can he still live? I will issue an order to impose a gag order on Liu Ji's assassination! ”

Late at night, in a study in the mansion of Dou Yan, the chief lieutenant of the Ministry of War, Yang Zhong frowned and asked Dou Yan, the chief lieutenant of the Ministry of War, "Don't we need to come out to see Liu Ji?" ”

Dou Yan, the captain of the military department, shook his head and said: "Now that the Western Regions Protectorate is in danger, Liu Ji should not have the energy to pay attention to the people of our thirteenth family, not to mention that this time he also took Princess Xiangcheng away, so don't be bored with ourselves at this time." ”

Yang Zhong, the chief lieutenant of the official department, hesitated for a moment and asked, "Taiwei Dou, do you say that Liu Ji can carry it this time?" ”

Dou Yan, the captain of the military department, said with a wry smile: "The old man hopes that Liu Ji can bear it, otherwise, after the armies of the four great powers of the Western Regions have seized the entire Western Regions Protectorate, they will definitely not give up and will continue to march to the hinterland of our Great Jin!" ”

Yang Zhong, the chief lieutenant of the Ministry of Officials, said with a worried face: "If it comes to that situation, our Great Jin will be in danger!" ”

Dou Yan, the captain of the military department, then said in a deep voice: "So this time, we must try to support Liu Ji no matter what, if the Great Jin is finished, our thirteenth family will also be finished!" ”

Yang Zhong, the chief lieutenant of the official department, asked: "Captain Dou, Zhang Mingqi's Red Turban Army still has at least two million troops, can't the Red Turban Army really be transferred to support the Western Regions Protectorate?" ”

Dou Yan, the captain of the military department, said with a gloomy face: "The old man has secretly sent someone to discuss with Zhang Mingqi once, Zhang Mingqi shirked for various reasons, and resolutely did not send troops to the Western Regions Protectorate. ”

Yang Zhong, the chief lieutenant of the Ministry of Officials, frowned and said: "The reason why our thirteenth family promoted the imperial court's recruitment of the Red Turban Army is to use the Red Turban Army to contain the Broken Army, but if the Broken Army is gone, then the Red Turban Army will become a big tail, and if there is no suppression of the Broken Army, Zhang Mingqi will rebel again." ”

Dou Yan, the captain of the military department, nodded and said, "So we must do our best to support Liu Ji this time, and we must not let the armies of the four great powers of the Western Regions defeat the Broken Army!" According to the news from the palace, Liu Ji hoped that the imperial court could try its best to move some disaster victims and poor people to the Western Regions Protectorate and the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, so that Liu Ji could select young and strong men from among them and supplement them to the Broken Army to resist the Western Regions Four Nations Alliance. ”

Yang Zhong, the chief lieutenant of the Ministry of Officials, thought about it for a while, then nodded and said: "In this situation, the troops from all over the country should be reluctant to go to the Western Regions Metropolitan Protectorate, but let the officials from all over the country send the disaster victims and poor people to the Western Regions Metropolitan Protectorate, it shouldn't be a big problem, by the way, I don't know if Liu Ji was assassinated in the palace this time, and his injuries were serious?" ”

"It doesn't seem to be too serious, someone saw Liu Ji leave the palace on horseback by himself, and he kept riding out of the city gate."

"I don't know who wants to kill Liu Ji, but thanks to the lack of success, otherwise the army of more than one million broken captives outside Canglong City will attack Canglong City to avenge Liu Ji."

"The old man has already sent someone to investigate, this mastermind behind the scenes is almost going to push the Great Jin Dynasty into the abyss, and the old man will definitely not let go of this mastermind behind the scenes!"

"Captain Dou, so are there any clues at present?"

"There are no clues yet, the palace guard who did it has a clean identity, and he hasn't found any clues, and this palace guard has been in the palace for almost three years, he should be a secret son arranged by a certain force in the palace."

"Which force will be the shadow of the palace planted?" Yang Zhong, the chief lieutenant of the ministry, frowned and said to himself.

When Liu Ji returned to the ranks of the Broken Army, the troops of the Broken Army outside Canglong City had already set up camp, although the situation of the Western Regions Protectorate was critical, but in order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, more than one million Broken Army troops could not travel day and night.

After Liu Ji settled the princess of Xiangcheng and the twelve dowry palace maids in a few tents, he returned to his tent, took off his torn clothes, and after putting them on neatly again, he summoned Zhang Liang, Jia Xu, Fang Xuanling, Fan Zeng, Li Ru, Chen Gong, Xun Yu, Xun Yu, Yao Chong, Zhang Shuo, Fang Xiaoru, and dozens of other military generals such as Lu Bu, Fan Xu, and Dian Wei into the tent.

Liu Ji recounted the simple experience of his assassination, and then Zhang Liang said: "It is certain that the mastermind behind this assassination will definitely not be the royal family and the thirteenth family of the Great Jin Dynasty, they all hope that the lord can protect the palace in the Western Regions and block the armies of the four great powers in the Western Regions, and they will definitely not do this to the lord at this critical juncture!" ”

Jia Xu continued: "There are many enemies of the lord, the Holy Fire Sect, the Gaochang Kingdom, several major clans in the grassland, and even the Red Turban Army that has been submitted to the lord, may be the mastermind behind the scenes, and it is not easy to find out the real culprit. ”

Fang Xuanling nodded and said: "We don't have time to conduct a careful investigation here in Canglong City, it seems that the task of finding out the real murderer of the Lord can only be handed over to Heishuitai to find out slowly!" ”

Fan Zeng then said in a deep voice: "Lord, there are too many people who want to kill you, no matter where you go in the future, it is best for the lord to bring those personal bodyguards with strong martial arts, this time it is too dangerous." ”

Fan Zeng's words were immediately approved by all the military generals of Wenchen, and Liu Ji himself said with a wry smile: "Who would have thought that in the palace of the Great Jin, there would be such a powerful assassin, this time it can be said that he has picked up a life, where will he go in the future, even if it is the palace of the Great Jin, I will bring all the personal bodyguards under my command, I don't want to go through it again." ”

Then Li Ru suggested to Liu Ji: "My lord, according to the intelligence of Heishuitai, the armies of the four major powers in the Western Regions this time, plus the armies of some vassal countries of the four countries, will have a total strength of more than five million, so that relying on the strength of the Western Regions Army alone, it is really not enough to deal with the enemy's army of five million, and my subordinates feel that they must expand the army again." ”

Chen Gong also said: "Li Ru is reasonable, even if the lord brings the more than one million broken captives outside Canglong City to the Western Regions Protectorate, in the face of the armies of the four great powers in the Western Regions, our Broken Capture Army is also in a weak position in terms of strength, and the relatively strong grassland army in the Broken Capture Army has to guard against the Hu people of all ethnic groups on the grassland, and it is impossible to draw out too many troops to support the Western Regions Metropolitan Protectorate, so it is imminent to expand the army again." ”

Liu Ji also agreed with the expansion of the army, after all, the Western Regions Protectorate was about to face five million enemy troops, and the four major powers in the Western Regions were likely to continue to increase their troops, and Liu Ji would not be able to bear it if he did not gather more troops in the Western Regions Protectorate.

Liu Ji nodded and said: "Judging from the news from Heishuitai, in the recent period, at least one million four million people of the Jin Kingdom have moved to the Western Regions Metropolitan Protectorate and the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, and there are more Jin people who are moving from all over the Jin Kingdom to the Western Regions Metropolitan Protectorate and the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate. ”
