said that after saving Zhao Chuan and the others, the floating sprouts fled with them all the way.

Finally came to a cave, where he and Xiaolan put Zhao Chuan away, lay flat on the straw, and went out to find food.

"I'll be back in a minute, don't worry, they'll be fine. Looking at the unconscious Zhao Chuan and Murong Xue, a trace of sadness finally appeared on his cynical face.

Xiaolan nodded obediently: "Sister, then you be careful." ”

"Sister, am I that old, hehe, tease you, sister, sister. The floating bud-colored fingers scraped on the bridge of Xiaolan's nose, turned around and quickly walked out of the cave.

Half an hour later, a bud-colored cry came from outside the cave: "Sister, I'm back!"

Xiaolan, who was taking care of Zhao Chuan and Murong Xue, immediately walked out of the cave after hearing the voice, stood on the stone wall and looked down.

I saw that the floating sprouts brought back a carriage with a coachman sitting on it.

Running in front of Xiaolan, the floating sprouts smiled and said, "Take them, let's go in a carriage, it's faster." ”

Xiao Lan had no opinion on her words at all, and then the two moved Zhao Chuan and Murong Xue to the carriage respectively, and several people got into the carriage one after another, and after the whip of the male coachman who was only sixty years old, the carriage drove slowly.

During this period, Zhao Chuan and Murong Xue never woke up, and the worried Xiaolan kept secretly wiping her tears, and the floating buds were on the side to comfort her.

The journey was smooth and there were no dangers.

The old man prepared enough fresh water for dry food to drink, and the few people didn't have to worry about eating and drinking, so they hurried slowly.

Xiaolan didn't ask her where she was going, if Zhao Chuan was awake, he would definitely find that the direction was wrong, because the direction in which the carriage was going was not the Heavenly Whale Country at all.

It's a pity that Zhao Chuan hasn't woken up, so he can't find this problem.

Xiping City, on the dragon chair in the palace.

The eldest grandson Wuchan, who was dressed in a golden dragon robe and wore a jade bead crown, had a somewhat ugly face at the moment.

The general's report fell under the case, and the eldest grandson Wuchan's voice trembled: "What do I want you to do? I just retreated with the marshal for a while, and look at you, after the enemy army in Lingchuan attacked, you lost dozens of cities in a row, which is comparable to the sum of the cities in a state, and you still have the face to live here?"

"Your Majesty is angry, and the ministers are waiting for the death penalty!" Among the hundreds of civil and military officials kneeling below, Du Qianshan and Zhuang Lan, who were the first, took the lead and shouted in unison.

His gaze swept over their faces one by one, and the eldest grandson Wuchan took a breath and said lightly: "I think that since the founding of the country, how can I ever be so humiliated, I really can't swallow this breath, the failure of the attack on Xiangyun is just a loss of troops, the Sky Whale is our last home, do you have to give it to the enemy? Do you really want to be a slave to the country?"

"The Empress Dowager has arrived!" a eunuch's shrill voice came out, and then I saw a group of palace maids following the Empress Dowager Zhuang coming.

Although the sideburns are white, under the crowning of a phoenix crown, the Empress Dowager Zhuang looks still noble.

The eldest grandson Wuchan hurriedly got up from the dragon rise, knelt in front of her and shouted, "See the queen mother." ”

"See the Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager Ji'an!" the ministers below also shouted in unison.

Empress Dowager Zhuang sat on the chair next to the eldest grandson Wuchan, looked down and waved her hand and said, "Get up, flat." ”

"Empress Dowager Xie!"

When the salute was finished, everyone returned to their original state.

Looking at the crowd below, Empress Dowager Zhuang looked at the eldest grandson Wuchan and said: "Chan'er, although the harem should not participate in politics, but the queen mother has never been able to avoid suspicion when the country is in danger. ”

"Queen Mother, I've let you down. The eldest grandson Wuchan respectfully clenched his fists and said apologetically.

Empress Dowager Zhuang waved her hand and said with a smile: "Hehe, the queen mother doesn't mean to blame you, she wants to tell you not to mess up when you encounter things, it doesn't matter how many cities you lose, as long as we still have the capital to turn the tables, then the final victory is changing, don't ask about the past wrongs and wrongs, sink down and think carefully about how to face today and tomorrow, this is what you should do." ”

"The child was taught. The eldest grandson Wuchan lowered his head and listened attentively.

For the Empress Dowager Zhuang, the eldest grandson Wuchan has no hatred, after all, the throne is originally worry-free for the elder brother, and she would not have been able to ascend the throne without crossing the thousand mountains and the Empress Dowager Zhuang.

So from this point of view, the eldest grandson Wuchan should be grateful to the Empress Dowager Zhuang.

But if you say this, it's not entirely true, after all, it was Empress Dowager Zhuang who planned Zhuang Zhu's marriage on her behalf, and also locked the eldest grandson Wuchan in the cold palace.

If you talk about it from this aspect, the eldest grandson Wuchan should hate her.

No one can guess the thoughts of the Empress Dowager Zhuang, whether it is the reign of Wuwu or the eldest grandson Wuchan in power, she is still the empress dowager who is high.

Maybe that's what she's best at.

"Okay, you can continue to discuss the affairs of the military state, and when you are tired, go and rest first. After the Empress Dowager Zhuang finished speaking, she got up and slowly walked out of the Imperial Palace with the support of the palace maid.

After she left completely, the eldest grandson Wuchan sat back on the dragon chair, and the words of the Empress Dowager Zhuang echoed in his heart, and he thought about it.

It turned out that she came to calm down the eldest grandson Wuchan, and didn't want her to be disturbed by the past defeats, which would then affect the strategic deployment in the future.

The eldest grandson Wuchan figured this out, and Zhuang Lan and Du Qianshan below naturally guessed it, and the moment the three of them looked at each other, they seemed to feel each other's comprehension.

In fact, it's not that the eldest grandson Wuchan doesn't know her own problems, and she was not such an unstable person in the past.

It's just that after Zhao Chuan's accident, the eldest grandson Wuchan's whole person has changed, and she is no longer the one who has no worries and can face all of her ruthlessly.

On the surface, he was discussing strategic issues, but in fact, Changsun Wuchan's mind had already drifted to find Zhao Chuan and guess what Zhao Chuan's situation was now.

"Crossing the Thousand Mountains Villa Lan listens to the order!" The eldest grandson Wuchan ordered to the following: "Order the two of you to be the vanguard generals, and lead the 200,000 army to attack the gateway Yuemen Pass occupied by Lingchuan. ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers and other ministers will fulfill the emperor's order without giving up their lives!" said Du Qianshan loudly with great emotion.

Zhuang Lan on the side also echoed: "The ministers will definitely complete the emperor's order and take the Yuemen Pass." ”

"Okay, I'll wait for your victorious military report to come back, it's not too early to get ready, pack up and go. ”

The eldest grandson Wuchan looked at them with resolute eyes, and said slowly in a deep voice.

After they left, the eldest grandson Wuchan instructed again: "There must be a lot of secret agents in Lingchuan recently, and the city defense should pay attention to increasing manpower, and we can't let go of a suspicious secret agent. ”

"Whew!" Zi Chuan, the captain of Tianmen, stepped forward and replied in a deep voice.

After returning to Xiping City, the eldest grandson Wuchan handed over the city defense to Zichuan.

After Du Qianshan and Zhuang Lan left the palace, they immediately went to see Yueling and told her about the expedition, and Yueling summoned the sergeants of the spiritual weapon battalion, prepared the siege equipment and spiritual weapons, and set off with the army at any time.

Half an hour later, the three generals of Du Qianshan, Zhuang Lan and Yueling were at the forefront of the three armies, and a flag with a whale pattern at sea was densely hung all over the army.

Looking ahead, Du Qianshan said with emotion: "This trip is very dangerous, we can't take it lightly, to put it bluntly, Your Majesty's 200,000 army has already suppressed all the treasures, so we can only succeed and not fail, can you understand?"

Zhuang Lan nodded, stroked the helmet on his head, and then said: "What the marshal said is right, there are less than 10,000 soldiers in the imperial city now, and our 200,000 are all the belongings of today's whale. ”

Yueling smiled and quipped: "Why are you so low before you set off, can't you have a better atmosphere? Be happy, don't treat death like home." ”

"General Yue, do you know, Lingchuan was originally the most powerful militaristic state in the entire continent, and this battle sent out an army of 800,000 to attack, although the Sky Whale is not weak, but compared to it, it is very different, otherwise how could it be connected to dozens of cities. ”

Seeing that Yueling didn't take Lingchuan in his eyes, Zhuang Lan couldn't help but remind worriedly.

Hearing this, Yue Ling nodded thoughtfully and said, "I know, I won't be careless about the enemy, don't worry about the prince." ”

"I can't imagine that Her Majesty the Empress and King Zhao's harmony will not be able to stop Ling Chuan's wolf ambitions in the end, so isn't Ling Chuan worried about their safety in the Heavenly Whale prince? Or do they already know that Zhao Chuan's life and death are uncertain, so they simply don't care?"

Du Qianshan looked in the direction of Xiangyun, and the appearance of the shy young man couldn't help but appear in front of him, and a thin layer of mist suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"That's right, maybe the royal family in Lingchuan is very weak, and compared with the interests of the country, the life of a prince is not enough to worry about. ”

After Zhuang Lan heard this, he thought about it and said.

Standing on the city wall, looking at the army slowly advancing below, the eldest grandson Wuchan's eyes flickered, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Why, you didn't appear by my side when I needed you the most. ”

She didn't want him, but her identity was tied up, and the eldest grandson Wuchan had to sit in the imperial capital, but even so, she couldn't help but miss him in her heart.

Such a strong woman can't help but cry at this moment, whose heart will be wet with those tears.

Xiping City is the last guarantee of the Sky Whale, the land is in the four seas, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Therefore, even if the crossing of thousands of mountains fails, the eldest grandson Wuchan also relies on it.

But it's just a battle for her life, so she still hopes that Du Qianshan and Zhuang Lan can bring back the news of victory.

It's just that how long can the eldest grandson Wuchan last, on the one hand, she is a sweetheart who is uncertain about life and death, and on the other hand, she is facing the dangerous situation of 800,000 troops, she is really haggard.
