♂? ，，

The first rays of dawn bring not hope, not warmth, but despair.

Looking far away, the fiery glow was as red as blood, reflecting on the bright red blood on the ground.

Is it the glow that reflects the ground?

Or is it the cold that gathers on the ground and condenses into red ice, reflecting the sky red?

The cold wind swept by, like a knife cold, and the whirlpools mixed with snow foam and ice slag swirled away on the ground. The wind was like a sword, colder and colder, whistling over the city.

The cold light is dazzling, and the cold of the sword is better than the cold wind of the winter morning at this moment.

The north wind swept the land, and the desolation of a place was a corpse strewn all over the field, and the ownerless war horses screamed sadly, waiting for them, but they could never wait for their master.

Xuanyuan Yan stood at the head of the city for a long time, looking at this scene from afar, the war is almost over, right?

It didn't last too long, and this war and turmoil came suddenly and hurried away, so quickly that there was no time to react.

The rebels who were about to break through Jian'an City, the rebels who were only a hundred miles away from Jian'an City, made all the rebels up and down Jian'an City, and the rebels who made Dongling Kingdom uneasy, were defeated like ice and snow melting, and without warning, they just glanced at Jian'an City from a distance, and it was no longer possible to see the gate of Jian'an City clearly, turning into ashes.

The golden sunlight reflected on Xuanyuan Yan's body, a bright yellow dragon robe danced in the wind, and the dragon pattern embroidered with golden silk threads seemed to want to take off into the air, fluttering into the sky.

His figure, tall as a green pine, the snow can't suppress it, standing on the city wall, standing between heaven and earth, shrouded in golden light, handsome and straight lines, like a statue, revealing the majesty of the gods, people admire and dare not look directly.

The crown prince of Risheng Kingdom stared at Xuanyuan Yan's back with awe, and from the telescope, he also saw a scene in the distance, and he had to admire the great grandmaster's foresight.

Sure enough, the speed at which these rebels were defeated and destroyed was so fast, like dust blown up by the wind, and in the blink of an eye, they didn't know where they were blown down.

The shouting of killing was no longer audible, and there was only shock in my heart.

"Report, most of the Lin family's rebels have been exterminated, Lin Bashan is trapped, and he is resisting stubbornly!"

"Report, the leader of the Lin family's rebels, was captured and killed, a total of more than 100 people, the rebels were killed and wounded, more than 50,000 people!"

The good news is frequent, and there are fast horses coming to the city to return the good news to Xuanyuan Yan.

Xuanyuan Yan turned his head slightly, and Ye Tianqing bowed: "Your Majesty, the war has been decided, congratulations to the emperor on his victory, please go back to the palace to rest." For war reports and other affairs, the ministers will order people to report to the emperor in a timely manner. ”

The crown prince of Risheng suddenly approached, picked up his clothes and knelt down, he kowtowed heavily to the ground, without saying a word, only kept kowtowing.

He was begging Xuanyuan Yan to return the remaining half of the soldiers of Risheng Kingdom to Risheng Kingdom, although he didn't know how many people were left now.

"Crown Prince, why do you bother to make such a big gift

Get up. ”

"Your Majesty, I beg the Emperor to be gracious, the war is nearing its end, and the ministers beg the Emperor for the grace of heaven."

Xuanyuan Yan glanced at Ye Tianqing, Ye Tianqing bowed his head slightly, Xuanyuan Yan ordered someone to collect the remnants of the Risheng Kingdom and bring them back to Jian'an City fifty miles outside the city to wait.

"Da, da, da......"

The sound of hurried horses' hooves sounded, crushing the ice and snow on the ground, and a black line in the distance quickly approached Jian'an City, and after a while, the black line wind generally swept under the gate of Jian'an City.

"What an elite cavalryman, the emperor, is it from the Li family?"

Ye Ruoxi was wrapped in a mink fur, and when he saw the cavalry from a distance, he asked.

People are like tigers, horses are like dragons, all black horses, black iron armor, only one person at the head, wearing golden armor, wrapped in noble gold, but under the crotch is a group of blood-red horses, I don't know if the horse he stepped off was dyed red by blood, or it was originally red.

There were not many people and horses, about 1,000 people, and the cavalry stopped hundreds of zhang away from Jian'an City, and dismounted to rest.

The leader of the golden armor led a few people to ride to the city gate, threw off his horse, and knelt on one knee on the snow under the city gate.

"Minister Li Zhuzhu, see the emperor, long live long live."

The generals kneeling below, bowed their heads and prostrate on the ground.

Xuanyuan Yan ordered a few people to pass in, and the city gate had already been opened, but without the emperor's permission, Li Zhenzhu did not dare to easily step into Jian'an City.

Frontier officials and border army commanders are not allowed to enter the capital or leave the garrison without permission from the emperor.

He has offended all of these.

Li Zhenzhu took several sons and hurriedly climbed the city wall, more than ten steps away from Xuanyuan Yan, lifted his armor and knelt down on his knees.

"Your Majesty, Minister Li Zhuzhu, see the Emperor, long live long live."

Several generals and sons behind Li Zhuzhu also knelt on the ground and reported their names to pay homage, prostrate on the ground, not daring to look up.

"Look up."

Everyone straightened up, raised their heads slightly, lowered their eyelids, and knelt respectfully in place.

Xuanyuan Yan looked behind Li Tuozhu, and there were two rather immature faces, with their heads slightly bowed, somewhat similar to Li Tuozhu.

"Those two young men, are they sons?"

Li Zhenzhu replied respectfully: "Emperor Qiyu is the youngest son of the minister, they are all teenagers, and the minister took them out to experience." Minister, I would like to ask the emperor for his guilt and ask the emperor to punish him. ”

"Let's get up first."

"Your Majesty."

Everyone got up, and Li Zhuzhu's gaze fell on a woman who was silent and low-key behind Xuanyuan Yan.

He had already heard that the five lines of defense outside Jian'an City were arranged by Niangniang, and what he wanted to see most was this Niangniang.

Xuanyuan Yan stretched out his hand and pulled Ye Ruoxi behind him over and said with a smile: "You people."

, what I want to see most is not me, it's my queen, right? ”

"Ministers, see the queen's mother, Chitose Chitose."

The crowd hurriedly knelt down again.

Ye Ruoxi said with a smile: "You Aiqing have a lot of hard work, so you don't need to be so polite, you don't need to be so polite." ”

Everyone thanked and got up, Li Zhuzhu's cold eyes were deep, he raised his eyes slightly to look at the queen mother, bowed down and asked: "Queen mother, the minister heard that the five lines of defense outside Jian'an City are the handiwork of the mother, and the minister's heroic appearance in the East China Sea has been heard for a long time, and the minister is very admirable." ”

"It's just a small means, it's all the emperor's strategy, and the decisive victory is thousands of miles away, I just said a few ideas, how to do it is the credit of the emperor and the generals of the ministers."

Ye Ruoxi replied in a low-key manner.

Xuanyuan Yan glanced at Ye Ruoxi appreciatively, it is not easy for this woman to be so low-key.

He asked a few words, Li Jizhu knelt down, and presented a few heads with both hands: "Your Majesty, this is the head of Lin Bashan, Xuanyuan Cheng and other rebel leaders, and the ministers are dedicated to the emperor, please let the emperor see it." ”

"Haha, I don't want Aiqing to walk in front of Liu Sheng's knife and take the credit for Liu Sheng's knife!"

Li Zhenzhu said coldly: "My Tanglin country can produce many people, how can I let the people of Risheng country snatch this merit, this is the minister himself for the emperor, presented to the emperor, ask the emperor for the sin, please forgive the minister's big sin!" ”

Xuanyuan Yan looked at Li Yanzhu: "I heard that there is the will of the first emperor left, let me act like this, but is this so?" ”

"Yes, this is the will of the first emperor, please ask the emperor to take a look."

Li Zhuzhu presented the will left by Gong Qingtian to him in front of Xuanyuan Yan with both hands, and Xuanyuan Yan took it and opened it, this is not a will in the formal sense, but it also has Gong Qingtian's private seal. It's a private edict, a secret decree and the like.

Xuanyuan Yan couldn't help but sigh lightly, it turned out that his father had already arranged all this, and expected all this to happen.

Since Gong Qingtian's illness, he has been arranging many things, including the Li family, which is also a move by Gong Qingtian.

This move has already been arranged, the Li family has never betrayed and rebelled, everything is just a game, in order to catch the Lin family in one net and fish out all the restless people, he did not hesitate to risk his life and suffer the big crime of rebellion.

Secretly picking up the second prince is also one of the steps, Li Zhuzhu was ordered by the first emperor to kill all the rebels, leaving no one behind. His role is not only this, but also can contain the Xi family, which is a move to compete with the Xi family.

&n

bsp; The border army is directly responsible to the monarch, and only accepts the emperor's order to dispatch the will, and is not subject to the dispatch of the military department and others.

Li Zhenzhu bowed his head and bowed deeply: "The minister deserves death, and the emperor must not leave the station without permission, and lead the troops to kill more evils along the way, and the minister asks the emperor to punish him." ”

Xuanyuan Yan looked down at Li Zhenzhu: "I remember, it's Concubine Li's younger brother, right?" ”

"Yes, the minister is the younger brother of Concubine Li, and the minister was ordered by the first emperor

, I wish to garrison the northern Xinjiang for the emperor, keep the peace of the northern Xinjiang forever, for the Tanglin country, for the emperor to die! ”

Li Zhuzhu's cold voice, sonorous and powerful, echoed in the city.

"Swear allegiance to me!"

Xuanyuan Yan said warmly, since the commanders of the border armies of all generations, they must swear allegiance to the emperor, this is the rule. When Xuanyuan Yan said this, he accepted the meaning that Li Tuozhu would continue to serve as the envoy of the Northern Xinjiang Frontier Army and continue to use Li Tuozhu.

"Thank you for the Emperor's grace."

Li Zhuzhu only brought a few of his generals and his son into Jian'an City alone, just to show his loyalty and deference. In this way, it is equivalent to putting his life and the life of his son's henchmen into the hands of Xuanyuan Yan.

Outside the city, he commanded tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and no one could kill him.

Once he entered Jian'an City alone, it would be easier for Xuanyuan Yan to kill him.

Li Zhenzhu took his son and swore allegiance to Xuanyuan Yan, who personally helped Li Jianzhu up, smiling and deeply worried.

Li Zhuzhu suddenly raised his head and glanced at Ye Tianqing, and the eyes of the two were staggered.

Ye Tianqing was elegant and indifferent, nodded and smiled at Li Tianqing, Li Tianzhu bowed down and saluted Ye Tianqing, his position and title were not as high as Ye Tianqing, and he still had to salute respectfully when he saw Ye Tianqing.

"The last general will meet Xiangye."

"Don't be polite, the handsome man is hard."

The two glanced at each other again, Ye Tianqing smiled lightly, this person was a move left by the first emperor, so that they could check and balance each other, but he didn't care. He had already guessed that he just didn't investigate further.

Xuanyuan Yan smiled and said: "On my side, Wen Youyouyou, Ning Bang, Wu Youpiaoling, Pillar, Ning Yuan, and other courtiers, you can really worry free!" ”

In the distance, a white figure stood on a snow-white horse, Ye Ruoxi's eyes were sharp, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "Isn't that the third brother's white dragon horse?" How was he robbed by Liu Sheng, what a Liu Sheng, if you dare to hurt my third brother, see if I don't peel the skin! Ye Ruoxi rolled up his sleeves and stared viciously at Liu Sheng, who was standing on the white dragon horse and quickly approaching the city gate.

Yanagi entered the city gate with a flying horse, flew up to the city, and stared coldly at Li Zhuzhu, and the eyes of the two rubbed strings of invisible sparks in the air.

Ye Ruoxi jumped in front of Liu Sheng's knife and grabbed Liu Sheng's chest, Liu Sheng's knife could have been dodged and resisted, but when he saw Ye Ruoxi's pair of claws reflecting the beauty of the sun, he forgot to dodge and was caught by Ye Ruoxi.

"Yanagi, little Yanagi, said, why was my third brother's horse snatched over? What happened to my third brother? Tell me honestly, otherwise a big punishment awaits! ”

The people around them bowed their heads, and then bowed their heads, with a cloudy face, what is the situation?

"Ahem......"

"Queen Mother, can you let go first?"

willow

Sheng Yidao looked helplessly at Ye Ruoxi, who was about to run away, this lady was really not an ordinary tough, once she touched her reverse scales, the consequences were very serious.

He wanted to give a salute to the emperor and Ye Ruoxi, but he was tightly grasped by Ye Ruoxi, so he could only straighten his body and remain motionless, lest he would touch the queen mother and be rude.

The crown prince of the Risheng Kingdom, as well as the officials of the Risheng Kingdom, watched this scene dumbfounded, how could the supreme sect master of their hearts be made so embarrassed by a woman from the Tanglin Kingdom and turned into Xiaoyanagi?

"Mother, Queen Mother!"

Liu Sheng said in an aggravated tone, and Ye Ruoxi stared at Liu Sheng viciously.

"Sect Master Liusheng, let's recruit from the truth, no one should move the queen's third brother, the consequences are very serious."

Xuanyuan Yan added unhurriedly, it is best for this sect master to beat Xiao San with a blue nose and swollen face or something, that is, it looks very serious and embarrassing. That way, he won't have to worry about his queen being seduced by this man in the future, or going to seduce this man.

Ning Yuan, for the sake of my backyard, sacrifice it!

In the distance, Kang Yuanyuan, who was leading the army to clear out the remaining bandits, suddenly sneezed, chilled, and looked back in the direction of Jian'an City suspiciously.

"Your Majesty, please forgive your sins."

Liu Sheng clenched his fists with a knife, bowed his head to Xuanyuan Yan to express his faux pas, Xuanyuan Yan smiled, looked at Ye Ruoxi majesticly and murderously, carrying Liu Sheng's clothes, and forced Liu Sheng to look at him

"Question, Yanagi, speak."

"Queen Qiyu, this horse was lent to Liu Sheng by Lord Xi, Queen, can you let go first? No matter how confused Liu Sheng was, he didn't dare to hurt the military department of the Tanglin Kingdom, the emperor and Niangniang's confidants. ”

Ye Ruoxi looked sideways and shook his head: "Impossible, junior, cough cough, my third brother will never lend the white dragon horse, he will provide this horse like a baby, even my eldest brother will not want to touch it." Who do you think my third brother will lend the white dragon horse? ”

If she didn't say it, the white dragon horse was given to Kang Yuanyuan by her, Kang Yuanyuan's baby is terrible, how can he lend Liu Sheng a knife to ride. In particular, Kang Yuanyuan knows that she has a friendship with Liu Sheng Yidao, and she has long been unpleasant to Liu Sheng.

Otherwise, Xuanyuan Yan would not have handed over the task of letting the ninjas of the Risheng Kingdom kill the leader of the rebel army in exchange for the defeat of the remnants of the Risheng Kingdom, and this shady plan would be handed over to Kang Yuanyuan to do.

Kang Yuan is far from torturing this great master to the point of madness, and he will never stop.

Li Zhuzhu's shoulders kept shaking slightly, and his face, which was as cold as an ice cube, twisted up, and he couldn't bear to laugh and endure it, making Liu Sheng's face pale.

Li Zhuzhu secretly raised his thumbs, mother, do a good job, continue!

Why should a country that is flourishing, a grass citizen of a country who is a general of the defeated army, dare to be so arrogant in front of him, and he will take the problem

Yanagi couldn't help it. Kill it, it's really not someone's opponent, look at it, it's really breathless.

"Queen Mother, will you let go and listen to me first?"

Liu Sheng's voice was weak and weak, staring down at Ye Ruoxi's green slender jade hand, what he wanted to say was, Niangniang, just hold it, no matter how long you hold it, it is best for a lifetime!

Ye Ruoxi thought about it, and estimated that this great master would not dare to do anything to Kang Yuanyuan.

"Hmph, tell me, what happened to my third brother? A great grandmaster, a master of the Risheng Kingdom, is he embarrassed to bully my family's weak and gentle third brother? Tell me, dare to hurt one of my third brother's hairs, I want tens of thousands of people in Rishengguo to kneel and help him up, Liu Sheng, keep an account of this matter first, don't let me find out that I bullied my third brother! ”

The ministers are speechless, the generals are silent, the mother is angry, and the consequences are very serious!

Ye Tianqing's eye knife also flew towards Liu Sheng, daring to hurt his son, he would definitely not let this great master live until tomorrow and see the sun tomorrow.

Ye Ruoxi arrogantly pointed his finger at Liu Sheng's nose, Liu Sheng retreated step by step, was forced to the city wall, leaned on the city wall helplessly and enjoyably, looking at the green jade fingers on his nose.

"Say!"

"Ruoxi, come back, Liu Sheng dares to hurt my important ministers, I won't let it go, come back!"

Xuanyuan Yan was helpless, was he forcing a confession, or was he eating tofu?

Ye Ruoxi looked back and saw that Xuanyuan Yan was killing her in seconds with a pair of ink, she could only withdraw her hand, in front of so many people, she had to give the emperor some face.

Turning around and returning to Xuanyuan Yan's side, she hugged Xuanyuan Yan's arm, and looked at Xuanyuan Yan with a delicate and pitiful gaze: "Your Majesty, you have to be the master of others, the third brother of the family has been bullied by outsiders!" ”

Xuanyuan Yan is very beautiful, not bad, Liu Sheng's knife is an outsider, an absolute outsider.

Liu Sheng stabbed it, for the sake of the tranquility of my backyard, can Kang Yuanyuan be bullied more ruthlessly?

The chill kept rising and surging from the bottom of Yanagi's heart, did he do something wrong? The owner of that white dragon horse, that hateful Shangshu of the Tanglin State Military Department, how could this queen be so nervous?

"Liu Sheng's knife, see the emperor, the queen's mother."
