Western Xia

Palace

When what happened in the north reached the Western Xia, it had been a while, of course, as a national court, a lot of news was obtained earlier than the people, especially the Western Xia had institutions similar to Yipintang, in fact, such institutions were found in various countries, such as the Six Gates of the Great Song Dynasty, which was responsible for more than just arresting criminals.

"That's the way it is." In a palace, Zhu Jian and Ju Jian stood respectfully in front of Zhou Zhiruo and told the story of what happened between Liao and Han in detail.

The jade-like fingertips gently crossed the sword body like a pool of water, listening to what happened in the Liao Kingdom at this moment slowly from the mouths of the two pretty maids, his eyes left the sword body, and he threw himself in the direction outside the palace, and after a moment of confusion, he frowned lightly, and after contemplating for a while, he said slowly: "The civil strife between the Khitans should not be able to divide the results in a short period of time, under the rule of Shangjing, there are still six county towns and four subordinate cities that must be captured, in addition to the expanded people's livelihood, etc., I want to completely digest these things, If there is any more action, I am afraid that it will not be possible this year, and now it is already the limit of what he can accept, and if he expands again, there will be problems in itself. ”

Zhu Jian and Ju Jian looked at Zhou Zhiruo with some doubts, they didn't understand the meaning of the other party's words, they didn't understand those national events, but at this moment, they could only listen.

"Yipintang has been rebuilt, and now it is basically his own people in it, Duan Yanqing and Yue Laosan have been much more honest after they came back this time, and now it seems that it is also his masterpiece." His gaze became a little complicated, he looked at the two swordsmen dressed as pretty maids, and said softly: "What Xiao Zhao means by letting you come to me, do you know what?" ”

The two nodded, and arched their hands: "The Bamboo Sword, the Chrysanthemum Sword, and the four departments of Jun Tianbu, Haotian Ministry, Luan Tianbu, and Youtian Ministry, came here on the orders of the palace master, and listened to the dispatch of Miss Houzhou!" ”

Zhou Zhiruo thought for a while and said, "Right now, Pintang has been set up by me. From tomorrow, I will arrange you to enter the palace one after another to help me control the Western Xia Palace. Help me take control of the palace. ”

His eyes fell on the two women, and in his gentle gaze, there was an indescribable sense of oppression: "When necessary, some unnecessary obstacles can be removed." ”

It was obviously the weather in June, and at this moment, the two of them looked at the woman in front of them who had a dignified and ladylike feeling in their eyes and temperament, but there was an indescribable cold behind them, that kind of disregard for life, even if the Vulture Palace did not attach too much importance to human life in many cases. At this moment, I was still frightened by the momentum released by the seemingly very gentle woman in front of me at this moment.

"In addition, in the palace, when there is a secret room left by Li Qiushui, pay attention to it secretly." Zhou Zhiruo said that although she is a woman, the royal rules are strict, and before she tore her face, she was still the head of Yipintang. belongs to the minister, and there must be enough respect for the royal family in terms of attitude.

"Yes." After nodding. The bamboo sword and the chrysanthemum sword went down and began to arrange, this time with the destruction of the northern Liao Kingdom, although it is still a little too early to deal with Western Xia, but some things can be arranged in advance, and the Vulture Palace directly dispatched almost half of the force this time.

The two left, and the hall became a little empty. After staring at the sword in his hand for a long time, Zhou Zhiruo finally put down the sword in his hand and looked in the direction of the north, that guy should be doing something embarrassing with his new imperial concubine now, right?

For Li Xuan's hooligan habits that he showed at some point. As the earliest person among the women, Zhou Zhiruo knew very well, at this moment, when no one was around, there was a slight gnashing of teeth on her quiet face, and her green index finger unconsciously tapped the crisp melody on the table, but her mind was constantly thinking about the current situation inside Western Xia.

With the news of Li Qiushui's death coming, Emperor Li Yuanhao's long-planned plan to seize power also began, and the first thing to start with was Yipintang, as Zhou Zhiruo, who was most valued by Li Qiushui in the past, but had been on the edge of Li Qiushui's power, was bought by Li Yuanhao for the first time, of course, it may be more appropriate to describe it as mutual use.

Without Li Qiushui, the big boss behind the scenes, many things that would have been very difficult have become a lot easier, of course, there are also many people who are unwilling to hand over the rights in their hands, and there is no softness for such people, whether it is the emperor or Zhou Zhiruo or even Duan Yanqing.

It is relatively easy to take over Yipintang, after all, after the battle on the outskirts of Wuxi, most of the elites have been lost, and most of the people who have been re-replenished are Xinding, and there is not much involvement with the Queen Mother's Party, plus the two principals, Zhou Zhiruo and Duan Yanqing, have been directed to the emperor's side, but there is not much resistance to closing Yipintang.

However, there were some problems when recovering the military power, after all, the commander of the army is different from the masters of the rivers and lakes, once he really tears his face, the destructive power caused by it is greater than that of these masters in Yipintang, not to mention, it is still the most elite Iron Harrier army in Western Xia.

Why did the other party know the news in advance, Li Yuanhao naturally had a guess in his heart, this kind of thing, someone must have leaked the news, the inside of Yipintang was not really cleaned, Zhou Zhiruo knew the reason, because she was the culprit herself, it was normal for Li Yuanhao to have suspicions, Zhou Zhiruo didn't even explain, all she needed was to deplete the internal strength of Xixia.

However, Li Yuanhao is also a hero, even the most elite Iron Harrier Legion was defeated without supporting it for too long in his hands, but in this way, the vitality of Western Xia was completely damaged with this battle.

And since that battle, Zhou Zhiruo obviously felt that Li Yuanhao, who still had a good impression of herself before and wanted to take herself as a concubine, began to guard against herself, consciously distanced herself from herself, and even most of the time, no longer approached herself, so that the idea of infiltrating the army next came to naught

There is only Yipintang, and once she really turns against her, these people, including Duan Yanqing, may not be on her side, and therefore, her development on the Western Xia side is not as drastic as Xiao Zhao or Zhao Min in the Great Song Dynasty martial arts.

Although he doesn't pay too much attention to power, in his heart, he still has the mind to compare with Zhao Min and Xiao Zhao, especially now that Xiao Zhao has become the palace master of the Vulture Palace, and the power in his hands is enough to make Zhou Zhiruo look sideways, these people sent to his side now, just the skills of the two swordsmen of Zhu Ju are no less than second-rate masters in the rivers and lakes, not to mention that among the nine heavens and nine departments, there is no shortage of first-class masters.

Even if she is detached, in the face of her sisters' achievements at this moment, she can't help but have a bit of a winning heart, and there may not be any malice.

Perhaps, you can try to contact Li Qiushui's old department!

Such a thought flashed in his heart, Li Qiushui's power, with the differentiation and disintegration of Li Yuanhao's various means during this time, now in the Western Xia court, Li Yuanhao has truly achieved independence, those former Li Qiushui's old departments, most of them are now more miserable, and she, as Li Qiushui's heir who was valued in the past, among these people, there are still some authorities, and now she should gain something by using this identity.

"Chief Qiqi, Master Duan asks to see you." Outside the door, the maid's crisp voice sounded, interrupting Zhou Zhiruo's thoughts.

"Let him in." Zhou Zhiruo was in a bad mood at the moment, raised her head, and looked indifferently at the door.

With the sound of metal hitting the ground, the figures of Duan Yanqing and Yue Laosan walked from outside the door.

"You're one of his people?" His eyes were fixed on Zhou Zhiruo's face, but he was in no mood to appreciate the charming cheeks that were enough to intoxicate any man.

"Who?" The brainless question made Zhou Zhiruo slightly stunned, looked at Duan Yanqing suspiciously, looked at the other party's expression, and then suddenly, without too much evasion, nodded and said, "Why did Boss Duan suddenly ask about this?" ”

"Hmph, sure enough." With a sneer, Duan Yanqing immediately frowned and said, "Why did he ask me to be the master of the Dali Duan Clan?" ”

Looking at the other party's zombie-like face, Zhou Zhiruo thought about it and slowly stretched out her right hand: "What Boss Duan said, but this!?" ”

A dangerous feeling came suddenly, Duan Yanqing's face changed, and he subconsciously raised his staff and sealed it in front of him, and then in Duan Yanqing's incredible gaze, the steel crutch actually made a sound of gold and iron resonating. (To be continued......)
