It has been more than ten days since the bloody battle, and the heavy snow has buried the blood, but walking on the road to the grassland, everyone can still feel the strong bloody atmosphere, especially when they walk to the entrance of the grassland, the bones everywhere are frozen by the heavy snow, like a statue that makes people shudder, and suddenly there is a whining wind blowing, like the unwilling wail of the soldiers.

Walking on this road paved with blood and bones, Demutu's face was calm, but his heart was dripping blood. The 10,000 elites of the Fire Department are the most elite warriors of the Tatar Department, and the sharpest spears of the Tatar Department, all of which were trained by him Demutu, but half of them were lost here, and even the deputy general was killed on the battlefield, so how could he Demutu not be heartbroken.

At this moment, the faces of the soldiers who followed Demutu were pale, and some unconsciously held the long knife at their waists, and the green tendons burst out.

When Demutu walked into the middle of the grassland, on the empty grassland, there was a tombstone erected, on which were engraved several big characters, the tomb of Harbara, Lin Changqing stood respectfully.

Staring at the blood-carved tombstone, Demutu was silent for a long time. Suddenly, Demutu spoke, "Do you know why Ben asked you to come?" ”

In a calm voice, Demutu glanced at the generals with cold eyes, and then said, "I am going to let you see this bloody battle and let you know what shame is. Lin Changqing stood respectfully, if he couldn't cut off Lin Changqing's head and wipe out the Yue cavalry captain, how could he think about the five thousand heroic souls of my fire department, and how could he wash away the shame of my Tatar department? ”

In Demutu's raised voice, all the soldiers shouted in unison: "Kill Lin Changqing and eliminate the Yue cavalry!" ”

Wave after wave of shouts stopped in an instant when Demutu raised his hand. Looking at the soldiers, Demutu said in a deep voice: "Olgrad, lead the army and set off to the Dot tribe." ”

In fact, Demutu only brought more than 1,000 horses with him on this trip, and the army had already left for the Doths, who had come here to encourage morale to pay tribute to the heroes of the Fire Ministry, and secondly, he believed that Halbara would definitely leave him a clue.

As Demutu expected, it didn't take long for a group of ragged soldiers to appear in everyone's sight.

Seeing Demutu, all the soldiers knelt down one after another, and there were tears in their eyes, as if they missed their fallen comrades, as if they were excited to see the main general, or they were ashamed.

At this moment, the general in armor shouted: "The last general Ashig has seen the general!" ”

After a bow, Ashig continued: "In this battle, there are only 423 of the 5,000 men and horses left in our fire department, and General Halbara also died on the battlefield, and the last general was ordered by the general to gather the remnants of the army and wait for the general to arrive. By the end of the sentence, Ashige buried his head deep in the snow.

Staring at Ahig and the troops kneeling in the snow, Demutu had a trace of unbearability in his eyes, and said, "Get up!" This battle is not a crime of war, but you can rest assured that Lin Changqing's head and blood must be used to pay tribute to the heroic souls of the brothers. ”

Hearing Demutu's words, the soldiers couldn't help shouting: "Kill Lin Changqing, kill Lin Changqing, kill Lin Changqing!" ”

Nodding, Demutu spoke, "Haring, you settle them down first." ”

When the remnants of the army retreated, Demutu turned his attention to Ashig again. Under Demutu's gaze, Ashig spoke: "Before the defeat, General Hal ordered Torre to return to the Golden Horde to inform the Great Han and the general of the news, and ordered General Buhaskh to hide and investigate the whereabouts of the Yue cavalry, and ordered the general and General Pozhit to collect the remnants of the army, but General Porit was unfortunately killed by an arrow. ”

After a pause, Asig continued: "During this time, the last general has contacted General Buhaskh and learned that the Yue cavalry has entered the road of death, so the last general has sprinkled spies all over the valley mouth of the road of death, and there is no news of the Yue cavalry captain. ”

Nodding, Demutu opened his mouth and asked, "What about Buhaskh?" ”

Ashig replied in a deep voice: "Since General Bukhaskh entered the road of death, the last general has not heard from him. The last general also sent people into the path of death, but unfortunately nothing was gained. ”

After thinking for a moment, Demutu said lightly: "This will be on this trip, and after eliminating the Yue cavalry captain, he will go to Umut to meet the army of Great Chu. ”

Suddenly, everyone looked at Demutu with some doubts, only Zuo Qi Chagan had a trace of understanding in his eyes. At this moment, Demutu continued: "If the general's expectation is correct, the purpose of the Yue cavalry captain is also emur. He entered the path of death but never came out, but must have traveled eastward, but waited for an opportunity to enter the Adar steppe in search of his next target. ”

At this moment, the generals looked at Demutu in amazement, because they finally understood why Demutu had deployed his army in the Dots, and he was simply waiting for the Yue cavalry to collide head-on.

At this moment, Cha Gan, who had been silent, opened his mouth and said in a cold voice: "General, most of this road is the Gobi and the wilderness, and it is extremely difficult to walk, especially after reaching Haojige, there are snow-capped mountains blocking the way, and the last general thinks that they will enter the grassland from Haojige." ”

Hearing Cha Gan's words, the eyes of all the generals showed excitement and coldness, in this battle, they must be ashamed!

In the Buddhist hall of Cining Palace, the Queen Mother's eyes were closed, her hands were holding prayer beads and chanting, with a pious face.

In silence, Ah Fu slowly walked into the Buddhist hall and said softly: "Slave Ah Fu meets the Queen Mother!" As he spoke, Ah Fu knelt down and bowed respectfully three times.

The Queen Mother did not open her eyes, and after reciting a Prajna Ramita Heart Sutra, she said, "Get up, what's the matter?" ”

Ah Fu didn't get up, but knelt down and said, "Empress Dowager Qi, Yuexi is pregnant." ”

Hearing Ah Fu's words, the Queen Mother's eyes that suddenly opened flashed even brighter. Turning to stare at Ah Fu, the Queen Mother opened her mouth and asked, "Really?" ”

Under the gaze of the Queen Mother, Ah Fu said slowly: "The old slave asked the imperial doctor to diagnose it, and Yuexi is indeed pregnant with the flesh and blood of the little young master, and it has been three months. ”

Looking at Ah Fu, the Queen Mother suddenly laughed, and her smile was so happy that her wrinkles were deep. In the laughter, the Queen Mother raised her arm, and seeing this, Ah Fu hurriedly got up and supported the Queen Mother.

Standing up, the Queen Mother's smile remained unchanged but she glared at Ah Fu, and said, "This is a good thing, look at you are nervous." Someone came, and passed on Yuexi to enter the palace. ”

Although he had already guessed the reaction of the Queen Mother, Ah Fu was still relieved, after all, Yuexi was just a girl, and in the deep courtyard of the palace, good things may not end well.

It didn't take long for Yuexi to enter Cining Palace. At the same time, Yuexi opened her mouth and said, "The slave has seen the Queen Mother!" ”

Looking at Yuexi, the Queen Mother's face was already smiling, and a pair of eyes swept over Yuexi's stomach from time to time. It was the middle of winter, Yuexi was wearing a thick cotton suit, and she couldn't see anything, but the Queen Mother's eyes still had uncontrollable joy.

After not seeing the Queen Mother speak for a long time, Yuexi felt a little nervous in her heart, and her face was a little unnatural. Seeing Yuexi's expression, the Queen Mother laughed and said, "Little girl, come over and let the old man take a look." ”

Hearing the Queen Mother's words, and then looking up at the smile on the Queen Mother's face, Yuexi seemed to suddenly understand, but her heart became even more nervous, and she opened her mouth and said: "The Queen Mother, slave ......and maid" At this moment, Yuexi didn't know what to say, so she could only kneel.

Haha laughed, the Queen Mother said: "You little girl, this is a good thing, a good thing, hurry up, don't move the fetus." Lookouts. ”

Hearing the Queen Mother say this, Yue Xi breathed a sigh of relief and bowed: "The slave has thanked the Queen Mother!" ”

Standing up, Yuexi didn't dare to sit down, and lowered her head and didn't look at the Queen Mother, but she noticed the Queen Mother's gaze, and a blush appeared on her pretty face.

Seeing this, the Queen Mother smiled again, and said with a warm face: "Look at you girl, sit." ”

"Thank you, Queen Mother." Bowing again, Yuexi half sat on the chair, but still lowered her head and didn't dare to look at the Queen Mother.

Sweeping Yuexi's stomach again, the Queen Mother looked at Ah Fu, and seeing the Queen Mother's gaze, Ah Fu immediately spoke: "Qi Qi Empress Dowager, Doctor Sun asks to see." ”

Nodding, the Queen Mother said softly: "Noise! ”

Imperial Physician Sun is the best among the imperial doctors, and the Queen Mother asked him to come over, one is to confirm whether Yuexi is happy, and the other is to condition Yuexi's body.

Soon, an old man with white hair and white beard who looked like a fairy wind and bones walked in, knelt down at the Queen Mother and bowed: "The minister knocked to see the Queen Mother's mother Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose!" ”

Glancing at Imperial Physician Sun, the Queen Mother said, "Flat!" ”

"Thank you, Queen Mother!" After bowing again, Imperial Physician Sun stood up, and then looked at Yuexi. It is rumored that he was instructed when he came to Cining Palace, so he naturally knew what he was here for.

Looking at Yuexi, the Queen Mother said slowly: "Little girl, let Imperial Doctor Sun diagnose your pulse and adjust your body." ”

When she saw Imperial Doctor Sun, Yuexi had already understood, and an inexplicable nervousness suddenly appeared in her heart. If there is no nervousness, everything is just her illusion, even if there is, what will the Queen Mother do. Yuexi has been in the palace since she was a child, and she has seen too much blood, and she can't know the cruelty of the harem, which is why she didn't dare to tell anyone, but she never thought that she would be discovered.

Under the gaze of everyone, Yuexi actually had a feeling of going to the guillotine, but did she have a choice, and finally stretched out her arm.

A eunuch had already prepared a table, chair and pulse pillow, and at this moment, Imperial Physician Sun did not dare to be careless, sitting on the side and listening carefully to Yuexi's pulse.

Quiet, Cining Palace fell into a deathly silence, and most of them focused on Imperial Doctor Sun, even the Queen Mother's expected eyes also had a trace of nervousness.

Soon, Imperial Physician Sun withdrew his hand and stood up, and smiled at the Queen Mother: "Congratulations to the Queen Mother, it is a happy pulse, and the minister will prescribe a prescription, as long as it is properly conditioned, ensure the safety of the mother and child!" ”

The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Okay, good, come here, reward!" While speaking, the Queen Mother focused on Yuexi, and after thinking for a while, she said: "Yuexi, you have followed the old body for several years, and now you are serving Xiao Qi with all your heart and is pregnant again. ”

Hearing the Queen Mother say this, Yuexi's eyes were full of disbelief, but she immediately bowed: "The slave thanked the Queen Mother!" ”

Looking at Yuexi, the Queen Mother hummed softly, and in the Queen Mother's elongated voice, Yuexi immediately changed her words and said: "The concubine thanked the Queen Mother!" ”

Seeing Yuexi change her words, the Queen Mother couldn't help laughing. After the tragic changes on Chu Haoyu's wedding day, the Queen Mother always felt indebted to Xiao Qi, so she agreed to let him leave the palace and even join the army, but the uneasiness in her heart was increasing day by day, today, she suddenly heard that Yuexi was pregnant, and she swept away her previous sorrows and laughed.

In the midst of laughter, the Queen Mother took off a dark gray bracelet in her hand and wanted to reward it to Yuexi, but when she stood up, the Queen Mother suddenly felt that her eyes were dark and she fainted.

At dusk, many people had gathered in front of the Queen Mother's bedchamber, including the saint, the queen, the martial king Chu Haoyan, the brave king Chu Haoxuan and other princes, the younger generation of the prince Chu Yuanbo, the king of Jingjun Chu Yuanjing, and even a few civil and military ministers, all of whom had sad and anxious faces on their faces.

Suddenly, seeing Imperial Physician Sun walk out, Chu Haoran immediately greeted him. Stretching out his hand to support Imperial Doctor Sun, who was about to kneel down, Chu Haoran didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly: "How is the queen mother?" ”

Seeing the urgency of the saint, Imperial Physician Sun straightened up, bowed down and replied, "Enlighten the saint, the queen mother is fine. During this time, the Queen Mother was depressed, and today she heard about the happy event and was in a state of flux, and she fainted for a while, as long as she recuperated for a few days. It's just," after a pause at this, Imperial Physician Sun glanced up at the saint before continuing: "Sad lungs, sad lungs, thoughts hurt the spleen, seven emotions cause disease, saint, the medicine stone is the final cure for the symptoms but not the root cause." ”

Chu Haoyu naturally understood what Imperial Physician Sun meant, nodded and said, "I know, Aiqing prescribes the prescription first." As he spoke, Chu Haoran walked up to the Queen Mother's bedroom.
