Chapter Seventy-Seven: Goodbye to the Old Ministry
"Prince, it is estimated that tomorrow later, our vanguard army will arrive, and the day after tomorrow we will collect all the tens of thousands of people in the Feng family, now we will meditate here and wait. ”
Li Rong told Yi Jiuxiao about his next move, as if he was asking for his opinion.
"Okay, Queen Mother, you meditate here, and I'll go and walk around. ”
Martial arts is different from Xiuzhen, which emphasizes meditation, absorbing the aura of heaven and earth, and understanding the avenue of heaven and earth.
And martial arts pay attention to movement, refining the body and refining the pulse in motion, and feeling the avenue in battle.
Therefore, Yi Jiuxiao rarely meditates, and he doesn't sit when he needs to meditate, but lies down directly, just like sleeping, he thinks when he thinks about it, and he sleeps when he can't figure it out.
After finding a secluded place, Yi Jiuxiao practiced the Open Heaven Fist and the Dredging Palm, which are the foundation of martial arts practice, and he is naturally diligent in learning.
It can be said that I am cultivating whenever I have time, and every time I cultivate, I will gain something, even a trace of it is very rare.
While practicing, Yi Jiuxiao was always thinking, thinking about how to go next.
According to Empress Lirong's arrangement, he needed to pretend to be the crown prince to ascend the throne, which was something he was reluctant to do.
Yi Jiuxiao couldn't help but sigh at the changeable fate, his former ideal was to join the army and be able to fight on the battlefield, but later because he had no spiritual roots, he chose to follow the literature, be a scholar, take the way of the imperial examination, and be an official in the court, which is not a waste of life.
Unexpectedly, fate suddenly pushed him to the front of the throne, which was something he would never have thought of.
He needs a country, a place to settle down, to house Qi Qingru, the Seventh Princess, Qi Bin and others.
But he didn't want to be this emperor, he didn't like this position, and he couldn't sit in this position.
If he had to be this emperor, he would rather let Qi Qingru do it, and it is said that the hidden dragon body is the most suitable to be the emperor, and it can make the country prosperous.
The throne is just an idea at present, and even if he, the fake crown prince, can win the ministers, he may not be able to win the royal elders.
So until now, Yi Jiuxiao has not been prepared for the throne.
He still hopes to have a good talk with Li Rong and talk about their original agreement, which is more reliable and realistic.
On the evening of the second day, the vanguard army of the Li family arrived in five formations, and these 5,000 people were lightly armed and marched here day and night.
Looking at these centaurs, Li Rong did not settle down, but said to Yi Jiuxiao: "Prince, now that the people are gradually gathering and the command of the army is returned to you, what do you want to do next?"
"Queen Mother, now that the overall situation has been decided, there is no rush for a while, let's wait for all the people to arrive before launching an attack, I want to go to Shizhou to find a friend. ”
Li Rong estimated that Yi Jiuxiao was looking for the old department of Qi in Shizhou, and now that the victory was decided, those old departments should be recovered, so that both sides would feel at ease.
So he said: "Shizhou is far away, it is not a day or two to arrive, you have to go early and return early." After the army gathered, I packed up the remnants of the Feng family and entered the city first. ”
"That's good, there's a queen of Lao's mother!" Yi Jiuxiao gave a salute and flew towards Shizhou.
The straight-line distance from Gyeongju City to Shizhou City is also 7,000 miles, and he flew day and night for six days before reaching the outside of Shiju City.
Yi Jiuxiao flew into Shizhou City, and seeing that the city was in order, and the scars of war were slowly fading, he knew that Chang Yang had completely controlled the situation in Shizhou.
He didn't stay in the air for long, but went straight to the Taishou Mansion in the center of the state city to find Changyang, and if he found him, he would naturally be able to find Qi Qingru and his party.
Except for the Taishou in the state city, the rest of the people are forbidden to fly, although Shizhou is not the capital, but the rules are the same.
Yi Jiuxiao flew over the state city, not flying high, and the defenders below could see it clearly.
They thought that the enemy was coming, so they hurriedly reported to the state capital, and Taishou Changyang immediately took off after receiving the news.
After Chang Yang took off, he sensed the breath slightly, and he recognized Yi Jiuxiao, and he was immediately surprised.
He hurriedly bowed in the air and bowed: "It turned out that His Highness was coming, and Chang Yang was polite." ”
Yi Jiuxiao's aura was very unique, without any mana fluctuations, which was the only one seen in Chang Yang's life, so he was extremely impressive.
Chang Yang knew that Yi Jiuxiao was not the real crown prince, but he was still willing to call Yi Jiuxiao His Royal Highness, which stemmed from his awe of Yi Jiuxiao from the bottom of his heart.
Because it was Yi Jiuxiao who helped Queen Li Rong to save the defeat and save the lives of Chang Yang and others in danger.
"Master Chang excuses me, let's go down and talk. ”
The two of them fell directly into the Taishou Mansion in the air, and when they entered the hall and sat down, Chang Yang immediately introduced the situation in Shizhou to Yi Jiuxiao.
After the breakup in Hezhou, Chang Yang came to Shizhou with two thousand forbidden troops, and along the way incorporated some of the old departments of Shizhou City, as well as the scattered border defenders, a total of nearly 20,000 horses.
Changyang was ready to send 15,000 men to the border with Ningguo to garrison, but there was a lack of border generals.
Fortunately, the two Jin Dan who were recuperating from their injuries in Hezhou City have basically recovered from their injuries, and these two people were originally generals on the border and can return to the border in the near future.
After Ning's army was annihilated in Hezhou, Ningguo's vitality was also greatly damaged, and it was difficult to pose any threat to Shizhou.
Then Chang Yang said that Qi Qingru, after arriving in Shizhou, Chang Yang immediately sent people to look for Qi Qingru, and the current formation of five hundred people in Qi is in Shizhou City, which is stationed alone and is not controlled by Shizhou City.
In fact, it is difficult for Chang Yang to control even if he wants to, Qi Qingru is also a master in the early stage of Jindan, and his strength is strong, Chang Yang is not his opponent.
If it weren't for Yi Jiuxiao's letter, he wouldn't even be able to invite him to Shizhou.
Yi Jiuxiao also introduced the situation in Gyeongju City to Chang Yang, and the battle is basically over, and the victory of the queen and the Li family has been decided.
Considering the shortage of major generals in Shizhou, at least 20,000 horses have been dispatched from Xiangzhou to Shizhou, and it is expected that they will be able to arrive in a month or two.
Since the current situation in Shizhou has stabilized, the forbidden army can return to Beijing in advance, and by the way, bring the 500-man formation of Qi State.
Changyang was a little reluctant, the combat effectiveness of the forbidden army was far better than that of the city defenders, although there were only 2,000 people, which was not weaker than the 20,000 people of the city defenders.
But these two thousand people were temporarily borrowed by the queen, and since there are already soldiers to replenish them, there is no reason not to return them.
It's just that the seed of a strong army germinates in the heart of Taishou Changyang. His thoughts are the same as Yi Jiuxiao's, there are not many soldiers, but refinement.
The two talked for more than an hour, and Yi Jiuxiao got up to say goodbye to Chang Yang.
This time, he did not take to the air again, so as not to cause panic among the city defenders, but got into the carriage of the state capital and drove towards Qi Qingru's military camp.
The two places gathered for twenty miles, and half an hour later, Yi Jiuxiao arrived outside the barracks.
He changed into an old costume in the carriage and restored his former appearance, so as soon as he stepped out of the carriage, he was recognized by everyone.
In a cheer, Yi Jiuxiao walked into the barracks and walked into the central tent.
Not long after, Qi Qingru, Qi Qingyun, Qi Bin, and Zheng Yuanhu all appeared in the tent.
"Do you still know how to come back, where are you happy these days?" Qi Qingru's first sentence after meeting was to complain.
It's no wonder that there has been no news since Yi Jiuxiao left, leaving them to wait in the ravine for many days until they received Yi Jiuxiao's letter.
But so far, they still don't know what Yi Jiuxiao is doing.
Regarding Qi Qingru's grievances, Yi Jiuxiao smiled and said: "I'm doing a big thing, and I didn't have time to discuss it with you, so I have been delayed until now." ”
So he told everyone what had happened after leaving, and several people were dumbfounded.
With 10,000 horses against 100,000 troops, and against several Jin Dan with his own strength, only Yi Jiuxiao dared to do this.
Qi Qingru really admired his courage, but at the same time was worried about his boldness, and couldn't help but complain again.
"You really don't want to die, you think you are the sky, you are a god!"
As soon as Qi Qingru's voice fell, she saw a change in the sky, and this change was obvious, and everyone could feel it.
But it soon disappeared into invisibility, and no one could picture what that change was like afterwards.
"Qingru, don't say it, everything has passed, you see I don't even have a hair. ”
Yi Jiuxiao smiled at Qi Qingru, then looked around at everyone, and said, "Now, I want you to go to Qingzhou in Wei State again, not to make peace, but to take the entire Wei State, do you dare?"
"If you dare, we dare!"
This time it was not Qi Qingru who spoke, but Qi Qingyun, the seventh princess, who had been silent since she came in.
In her heart, she trusted Yi Jiuxiao more than Qi Qingru.
Yi Jiuxiao looked at Qi Qingyun, her eyes conveyed gratitude, this soft woman was actually very firm in her mind and had the courage to move forward.
Qi Qingyun also looked at Yi Jiuxiao, with affirmation in her eyes. The man in front of him has extraordinary strength and charm, which is worthy of her trust and follow.
"We dare", everyone present made their attitude clear.
Everyone has come to this point together, on the same boat, and has to go down no matter what, there is nothing to hesitate about, nothing to doubt.
"That's good! I set off with Qingru first and flew to Gyeongju, you marched to Gyeongju with the 2,000 forbidden troops of Shizhou City, accompanied by the 2,000 forbidden troops of Wei, there should be no risk along the way, just a longer time, do you have any objections?"
Several people had no objections to Yi Jiuxiao's arrangement, and among them, only Yi Jiuxiao and Qi Qingru could fly. The rest of the people had to walk over honestly, and they went to Gyeongju first, so there must be a lot to do.
Qi Qingyun didn't have any objections, but she was a little reluctant.
She has never been out since she was a child, and she has been with Qi Qingru on this trip, and she is not used to being separated suddenly.
Then Yi Jiuxiao returned to Taishou Mansion and discussed with Chang Yang about the march of the 2,000 forbidden army and his own 500-man formation.
As the crown prince, he met with the two commanders of the forbidden army, and instructed the two forbidden army formations to set off in the next few days, and to protect the friendly team along the way, especially to protect the safety of the princess of Qi State.
After the arrangements were made, Yi Jiuxiao and Qi Qingru took a carriage out of Shizhou City, and then took off into the air and flew straight towards Qingzhou City.
