Chapter 35: The Hexagram (Reckoning)
Lorraine took fifty sergeants Dai Xiao and wore bloody clothes all the way to Kyoto, and met the prince of Zhuangwangfu and Gongwangfu who were heading to the border pass on the way.
Li Jingyi, the prince of Zhuang's Mansion, and Li Jinghai, the prince of Gong's Mansion, glanced at each other.
Li Jinghai said: "It's the Luo family army that just passed? ”
Li Jingyi looked at the Luo family's army running through the dust and said, "Yes, the leader is the Luo family's general." ”
Li Jinghai frowned and said, "Why are you so embarrassed, is this just coming down from the battlefield?" But why Dai Xiao? ”
Li Jingyi felt sorry in his heart and said: "The Luo family army is already in an emergency, I'm afraid that something really happened, Brother Hai, we have to hurry." ”
Li Jinghai nodded, and the two of them led the team to rush to the border pass.
Lorraine and the official road quickly whipped into Beijing, non-stop, directly with people galloping through the downtown streets, the people in Beijing looked at Dai Xiao's blood-stained Luojia army is talking, these days the news of the Luojia army border pass to the death has been spreading, the appearance of this Lorraine confirmed the rumors, and then look at the Luojia army wearing filial piety, the king of war sacrificed his life is afraid to be true, so embarrassed Luojia army seems to be as rumored to say, Bodu City is lost, Luojia army was sold, I am afraid that the fight will be gone.
As soon as Lorraine entered Beijing, it was concerned by various forces. Gossip spread throughout the city.
When Lorraine arrived at the War King's Mansion, Steward Luo was shocked, what is this for, what is the princess? Unstoppable crankiness.
Lorraine looked at Steward Luo's eyes glazed and said, "Butler rest assured, the princess is fine, the princess arranged for us to come, this is a letter to you, let you do it according to the instructions." ”
The butler came back to his senses after listening to Lorraine's words, arranged for the sergeant to rest, pulled Lorraine into the house, opened the letter package, and took out the letter to watch.
After reading it, the housekeeper asked uneasily: "Is the princess really okay?" ”
"Okay, let's see what you're doing, the border is in danger, I have to go back quickly." Lorraine said that she did not dare to tell the old butler that the princess was unconscious.
The housekeeper looked at the princess who was seriously injured in the letter, and his heart was skipping straight, whether it was acting or really seriously injured! I didn't dare to ask, so I quickly stabilized my mind and said, "Then you can't rest yet, go and take off the plaque of the War King's Mansion, and you can take the hundred guards of the War King's Mansion and leave immediately." ”
Lorraine didn't ask much, went to pick up the plaque of the War King's Mansion, directly ordered all the people, and hurriedly took the people away.
Before the people finished talking, they saw the Luo Jiajun rushing away again. It caused another commotion. The forces of all parties were also confused, and sent people to inquire about the news of the War Palace.
Zhanwang Mansion, Steward Luo waited for Lorraine to leave, and directly asked all four of Hongxing to change into plain clothes, and he was also dressed in plain clothes, carrying a plaque, holding Princess Antai's jade butterfly to the palace, looking sad all the way.
When they arrived at the gate of the palace, they asked the four of them to put the plaque of the Battle King's Mansion at the gate of the palace, and the jade butterfly of Princess Antai was placed below.
"Thank you to the emperor, the king of war sacrificed his life, the palace of the king of war has no successor, and the throne will be returned. Before the Luo family army was sold to the battle, Luo Yijiu, the daughter of the Luo family, led the Luo family army to fight 200,000 in the heavenly domain, and was trapped in Boye City, and now he is fighting again, seriously injured and unconscious, Princess Antai's throne is returned, Tianyu no longer has the Luo clan war king, Tianyu no longer has Princess Antai, the Luo family only guards the country and protects the territory, and does not enter the court to reward. ”
After speaking, he wept silently, and knelt on the ground and kowtowed. The four red apricots also knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
Steward Luo got up and took the four of them back to Luo's house, and asked Hongxing and others to buy white silk and build a mourning hall.
The people in Beijing also learned that the Zhanwang Mansion, no, it was the Luo family, there was only one housekeeper and four maids left, and the rest of the people went to the border battlefield, and the Luo family army who had just come and gone just came to report the funeral, and came to find support by the way, but the Luo family was empty, and there were only the one hundred and ten guards.
The people in the city sighed, and the Luo family was full of loyal martyrs.
Steward Luo's actions reached the emperor's palace, and the emperor was furious, threw the teacup, and said to Prince Zhuang: "Brother Huang, this old man is really restless, is it too merciful for me to crown him as the prince." ”
"The Holy Lord is angry, the most important thing now is to stabilize the border war, Antai must not die, Bodu City is lost, it is too late to say anything, Heidu City must not be lost, Luojia Army must also be defended, we still need neutral people to maintain the current stalemate, Cheng Guogong's control of the military power in Northern Xinjiang is also ready to move, if we lose Heidu City, we will be in trouble."
"I asked Jing Yi to take the shadow guard to the Black Capital City, be sure to ensure the safety of Antai, and by the way, create an opportunity for the Luo family army, the Luo family army is now the only way to stabilize the southeast, not only we know, but also the old seven, the old eight wall grass, now I am afraid that they will play yin." I'm afraid the situation in Boye City is really not optimistic. Zhuang Wang Ye said.
"Brother Huang, it is best to let the Luo family army take charge of the military power in the southeast, but now, there is no one in the Luo family! Yang Zhihong is afraid that he will not be able to command the general army in the southeast. ”
"Yes, Antai! It's just that it needs to be operated for a while, compared to the military power, it's nothing to let a woman be in charge of the army, Antai fights, no one is convinced, not to mention, no one can find fault with the prestige of the Luo family's army. ”
"But, Antai is a woman after all?"
"It's better to be a woman, the possibility of a woman is greater, and there will be more time for us!"
"What do you mean, Brother Huang?"
"What is the emperor worried about? Antai is manipulated and used? ”
The emperor was silent.
"Antai dared to make a military order before he arrived on the battlefield, and as soon as he arrived on the battlefield, he destroyed 200,000 Tianyu, what kind of temperament? It is a crime to kill one person, a general to kill 10,000 people, and a king to kill 100,000 people! Antai is only fourteen, how can anyone control such a ruthless and decisive person? ”
"Then she may not help us."
"Did the Warlord help us? She just had to hold the border, wouldn't she? Besides, her surname is Luo! The Luo family, amazing! "Lord Zhuang sighed sincerely.
"I see. So the operation? ”
"I will let Jing Yi do it, the current rumors are not necessarily a bad thing, the better the prestige of the Luojia Army, the easier it is to promote, and when the time comes, the southeast military power will naturally return to the hands of the Luojia Army. Antai's words, succeed to the throne of the king of war, command the general army of the southeast, you can send the edict now, the time is urgent, and send a proclamation along the road, the king of war commands the general army of the southeast. ”
"Okay, I'll issue the edict at once. What to do with Li Jingqi? ”
"The new war king may be able to deal with it for you, this woman of the Luo family has completely inherited the family style of the Luo family!" King Zhuang said lightly.
At the border pass of Bosnia-Herzegovina, the prince of the two provinces arrived at the camp of the Bosnian garrison. Lin Gang took the place of Li Jingqi's general, because there was a Li Jingqi in front, so he really didn't have a good impression of the two sons who had just come. Directly arranged to the rear army complex to purchase supplies.
Li Jingqi was robbed of military power, and a middle-aged man comforted: "Shizi, we still have a chance, now is the time to calm down the incident, Bodu City will send it out, we just need to wait for the Heavenly Domain to fight, the left vanguard makes our people, and those who should be won over are also co-opted, there are only a few uninteresting ones left, and see how this Lin Gang can hold it." ”
"Haha, too, Uncle Han is a good plan. Isn't it time for me to chat and eat with the other two brothers? Li Jingqi instantly retracted his anger and said.
"As the sons of the world, they can communicate." The middle-aged man said. This person is Han Chen, the strategist of the Shuowang Mansion.
The city of Boye was peaceful, and it had just won the battle, and although it was a skirmish, the morale was high.
The next day, according to Luo Yijiu's orders, Luo's army entered the black capital city to buy food and medicine with light wounds, and their expressions were grim. The shopkeeper of Huaiji Pharmacy inquired about the situation while equipping Luo Jiajun with medicines.
The Luo Jiajun procurement leader is also familiar with Tongji Pharmacy, looked left and right, covered his mouth and said: "Yesterday we fought with Diwei, won a miserable victory, and urgently needed medicine. ”
The shopkeeper nodded again and again and said: "I will prepare this medicine for you, you don't have to run around, I will collect it for you, you just come to me to get it, if you have some friendship with the shopkeeper of Dafeng Grain Bank, you can ask him to operate, you can go directly to him to get food, I will let Doctor Qin go to Boye City with you, since the last time I came back, Doctor Qin has not been less worried." ”
After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he was about to call someone, but was grabbed by the team leader and said: "The shopkeeper is kind, we have a heart, now Dr. Qin can't go with us, we don't dare to be a little sloppy, and we will hurry back to the city after taking the grain." In addition, the shopkeeper is bothered to inquire about something, why are there so many people in this city? ”
The shopkeeper paused and said, "This matter is really unclear, I can help you inquire." ”
"So, there is a shopkeeper." Seeing that the medicinal materials were loaded, the team leader did not bring Dr. Qin, and directly led people to the grain store to buy grain and rushed back to Boye City.
At the same time, a gentle, generous, slightly blessed middle-aged man appeared in the largest teahouse in Boye City with a small servant, sitting in a corner, drinking tea, and listening to the mythical battle of the heavenly realm. When I heard the storyteller say that Vice General Li was like a bronze bell, his arm was five feet long, and his strength was infinite, the middle-aged man who was happy almost sprayed tea.
Vice General Li's personality is extremely upright and fiery, but he has an extremely contrasting face, and Vice General Li's appearance has taken off his armor, and it is not abrupt for you to say that he is a gentleman when he puts on his regular clothes. This man is completely out of bounds.
This middle-aged man who drinks tea is Vice General Qian, and the little guy is Li Mao. Vice General Qian looked at the teahouse with many people with swords and knives on their backs, and saw a few young gray-clothed people sitting by the window on the left hand side, these people were obviously from a faction.
Vice General Qian got up, walked to the table of several people, and asked with a smile: "I'm afraid that a few sons are not businessmen, right?" Looking at the good bearing, I'm afraid it came out of the big faction. Below is a businessman who came to do business in Lin Ancheng, and along the way, he found that there were many more knights in this black capital, and asked more, but what happened? Li Mao served good tea to several sons. ”
"This boss is polite, we were sent by the Kunyang faction to support the Luo family army. Some of these heroes you saw volunteered to come to the aid of the Luo family's army, and some came for a reward. One of the older men in gray said.
"Oh, support the Luo family's army?" Vice Admiral Qian asked suspiciously.
"Yes, the Luo family army has been guarding the territory for more than 50 years and has not retreated, and now it is trapped by traitors and guarding Boye City, and even the princess of the Luo family has gone to the battlefield, and they are all Tianyu people, how can we sit idly by." A younger boy said.
"Senior brother, be cautious!" The older man scolded.
The younger negative turned his head and muttered: "I was not allowed to say it in the first place, a traitor is a traitor." ”
