The situation in Jingzhou became more and more severe, and Sima Fan added 20,000 troops to Luyang City, a total of 80,000 troops had already drawn their camps to the north and began to launch a large-scale attack on Sizhou. The vanguard troops have penetrated deep into Henan County, and the front of the army is directed at the capital Luoyang! Empress Jia really couldn't sit still now, and originally wanted Dong Yi to prepare for three days, but the military situation was suddenly so urgent, and the next day, Empress Jia ordered Dong Yi to immediately pull out and go south to fight against the Jingzhou army.

On this day, outside the Xuanyang Gate in the south of Luoyang City, on the south bank of the Luohe River, the flag covered the sky, and the people and horses neighed. Nearly 100,000 troops from the left and right armies of the Central Guard, the Yamen Army, and the Zhongling Army were spread out layer by layer on the plane, and the guns and halberds were lined up, which was quite spectacular. On the platform in front of thousands of soldiers of the forbidden army on the south bank of the Luohe River, Dong Yi was wearing a silver chain armor with a sword at his waist, and behind him stood Wei Qi and several other generals who were also strong and stubborn, but they also looked majestic.

In Luoyang City, a huge carriage made of gold drove out of the Xuanyang Gate, and Du Jue led a group of masters of the Holy Gate to dress up as guards of the forbidden army, accompanying the carriage. Behind the carriage were Sima Ting, Zhao Wanglun and other important ministers of the imperial court, all of whom rode high-headed horses and slowly followed. Everyone crossed the Luohe Bridge and stopped their horses not far from Dianjiangtai.

Dong Yi immediately took several generals under his command to step down from the point general's platform, came to the golden carriage and knelt on one knee, and shouted: "Minister Dong Yi, order the generals under your command to welcome the emperor and queen!" ”

"Welcome to the Emperor and Queen!"

The door of the golden carriage was opened with a "creak", and Dong Meng, who was dressed in eunuch clothes, stepped out with a smile, looked next to him, and showed Hui Dijia who was walking side by side behind him. Seven years have passed since Emperor Hui, but he looks much older, and I don't know what worries this idiot emperor that makes him grow old so quickly. Relatively speaking, although Empress Jia is a little ugly, she still has a little vitality on her face.

Emperor Hui and Jia Hou got out of the carriage at the same time, and Jia Hou stretched out his sleeves and helped Dong Yi and other generals who were kneeling, and said, "All the generals, please get up." ”

Dong Yi and the others said in unison: "Emperor Xie, Empress Xie." ”

After Dong Yi got up, he glanced at Zhao Wanglun, who had just dismounted on the side, smiled contemptuously, and then took a step forward, arched his hand towards Jia Hou and said, "Niangniang, the forbidden army has been assembled!" You can swear to go at any time! Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please—"

Emperor Hui smiled at Empress Jia and said, "Empress, I am a little unwell today. Let's go with the queen. I went back to the car and rested. ”

Empress Jia glanced at Emperor Hui coldly and said, "In that case, Dong Meng, don't help the emperor get into the car." Then his face showed a look of concern, and he took Emperor Hui's hand and said, "The emperor should take care of his body!" ”

Emperor Hui replied with a smirk, as if he was a little flattered. With Dong Meng's support, he returned to the golden carriage.

Dong Yi pouted with a sneer, looked at Emperor Hui and went back to the car, and said secretly: This emperor deserves to be enough! It's a shame to be on this throne. However, if the emperor is wise and martial, then what are you doing now? ! Dong Yi had a smile on his face, leaned over to Jia Hou and said, "Niangniang, please step up to the stage." ”

Empress Jia's face showed a sickly flush, nodded slightly, and ascended to the general platform surrounded by a group of generals, and began to hold the swearing-in ceremony.

Next to the golden carriage, Zhao Wanglun stood beside him, withdrew his gaze from Jia Hou, and caught a glimpse of Sima Ting, who was also dressed in armor, stroking the red-haired god horse "Sweat and Blood Horse" with his hand, looking at the people on the platform with an expressionless face. The corners of his mouth hooked up a chuckle, his feet moved, and he slowly leaned towards Sima Ting, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness Prince Ting, this 'sweat and blood horse' is really the BMW of the world, and the divine horse is abnormal!" ”

Sima Ting retracted his gaze, looked at Zhao Wanglun, and joked: "What? Does Lord Zhao not only want Shi Chong's Golden Valley Garden, but also my bloody horse? ”

Zhao Wanglun laughed, shook his head and smiled: "Prince Ting is really good at laughing. How can Lone win the love of the Thunder Prince! Then Shi Chongke is different. I don't know why, but the more I look at him now, the more unpleasant I become, and I actually put my hand in Lone's pocket. Hey! Just take this opportunity to knock him well. I don't know if Shi Chong, the great Jin God of Wealth, who spends a lot of money, will really give up the Golden Valley Garden this time! ”

After a pause, Zhao Wanglun looked at the high-spirited Dong Yi on the stage, and said with a smile: "Prince Ting, do you think this Dong Yi can deal with the Jingzhou army?" ”

Sima Ting shook his head and said, "What does Lord Zhao think?!" Want to defeat the Jingzhou army of 80,000 heading north? …… Hehe, that's not what these more than 90,000 forbidden troops can do. However, if it is only to block the pace of the Jingzhou army's northward advance, with a few generals under Dong Yi and Wei Qi, plus the ability of Sun Xiu under Zhao Wangye, it is still more than enough. Hey, Zhao Wangye is really willing to let Sun Xiu, the general of the central guard, lead the right army of the central guard to go out. It's a bit overkill. ”

Zhao Wanglun smiled mysteriously and said, "Hehe, Sun Xiu took the initiative to ask for his life." You must know that this is the first time since the founding of this dynasty that so many forbidden troops have been mobilized to go on the expedition, and the opponent is still the strongest Jingzhou army in the Great Jin Dynasty. What a rare opportunity! Sun Xiu has been in Beijing for so many years, but he is a little itchy. ”

The corners of Sima Ting's mouth hooked up a smile, and he said secretly in his heart: Want to compete with the Jingzhou army? Devils will believe it! Hmph, Sun Xiu went to make trouble for Dong Yi, is it true? I only hope that he won't go overboard, but instead gave the Jingzhou army a chance to take advantage of.

Zhao Wanglun pondered for a moment, and said with deep meaning: "Prince Ting, now in Luoyang City, there are only three forbidden armies of the guerrilla army, the Zhonghu Army and the Xiao Cavalry Army under Prince Ting to maintain the city defense. Prince Thunder is getting tired lately. ”

Sima Ting glanced at Zhao Wanglun, who was full of deep meaning in his eyes, and chuckled: "At this time of crisis, Sima Ting should do something for himself. ”

Zhao Wanglun looked around, saw that there was no one else around the two, leaned towards Sima Ting again, and said softly: "Prince Ting, I don't know the antidote to the 'Western Regions Golden Cicada', has Your Highness found it?" ”

Sima Ting's eyes froze, and then he showed a helpless look, shook his head and said, "No." ”

Zhao Wanglun sighed and said, "Wouldn't that be another wasted God-given opportunity." ”

Sima Ting was silent. Through all these years of contact, he was surprised to find that Zhao Wanglun beside him was more urgent than him, and Empress Jia was in a different place! Although Zhao Wanglun relied on Empress Jia to get to where he is today, Zhao Wanglun didn't seem to have any intention of being grateful to Empress Jia. Maybe for Zhao Wanglun, the current situation is not satisfactory to him, because he still has a queen Jia above him...... There's even a Hui Di!

Zhao Wanglun has hinted several times over the years that he is willing to help him bring down Empress Jia together, but he has never expressed his attitude. And now, Zhao Wanglun's sigh is no longer a hint, but a naked explicit!

It seems that Zhao Wanglun wants to do it this time......

Just as Sima Ting was pondering, he suddenly felt something, turned his head to look, and was surprised to find that Ying Feng had appeared on the oath meeting and was hurrying towards him. When Ying Feng came to Sima Ting, Sima Ting frowned and said, "Ying Feng, why are you here?" "You must know that Ying Feng has been guarding Xiling for a long time, and recently there was news that the mother and queen agreed to the marriage of Ying Feng and the fifth sister seven days ago. It stands to reason that Ying Feng should be by the side of the fifth sister now to have fun together, and he will not appear here at this time.

Ying Feng's face was cold, and he leaned over and said, "Your Highness, your subordinates have something to report." ”

Sima Ting looked at Ying Feng with a heavy face, and faintly felt that something big had happened, and most of this matter was related to the queen mother. Sima Ting nodded, nodded slightly with Zhao Wanglun, took Ying Feng to the side, and asked urgently, "Ying Feng, did something happen in Xiling?" Did something happen to the queen mother? ”

Ying Feng's face showed a look of grief, his eyes were full of tears, and he stepped forward and leaned into Sima Ting's ear and said, "Your Highness." Princess Chu had an accident with the lord of the five counties. Your Highness, go and take a look. ”

Sima Ting's heart twitched, grabbed Ying Feng's arm, and said fiercely: "What's wrong?!" ”

Ying Feng was silent for a moment, looked around, and made sure that no one was near them, so he leaned into Sima Ting's ear and said sadly: "Princess Chu and the five county lords are all ...... Dead ......"

Ying Feng's words were like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, causing Sima Ting to be dizzy for a while, stumbling under his feet, and almost falling to the ground. What's going on! What the hell is going on! He recognized the thief as his mother, and for seven years, he endured humiliation and stealing his life in front of Empress Jia, and acted for the tiger, just to save the lives of the queen mother and the fifth sister. But now the queen mother and the fifth sister are dead no matter how they say they are dead!!

Ying Feng immediately stepped forward to support Sima Ting, and said with concern: "Your Highness." ”

Sima Ting took a few heavy breaths, and his eyes slowly regained clarity. Glancing at Jia, who was still loudly encouraging the forbidden army on the podium, he said in a deep voice: "Go, go to Xiling!" ”

Zhao Wanglun glanced at the figures of Sima Ting and Ying Feng walking away, then put his hands behind his back and raised his eyes to look at Empress Jia. The corners of his mouth curled into a chuckle.
