Chapter 223: Collecting Troops

The atmosphere in the Pingliang Palace was serious, and the people were worried, and everyone was waiting for someone to break the silence.

A rush of footsteps sounded, a loud and eager voice came from the air, and the word "newspaper" dragged on for a long, long time.

"Report-" A soldier ran to the center of the hall and knelt down, panting and said: "Monarch, the Beihua soldiers are pressing the border, and it is only fifty miles away from the palace!"

The monarch stood up in astonishment, thought and thought, and slapped the table in resentment. "It's excessive!"

"Father, it's not too much of a problem at the moment! You also know that Xue Hou's methods, do we really have to sit back and wait to be killed?"

Gexiao stopped Ling'er and whispered, "Father has already regretted it, don't stimulate him anymore!"

The monarch smiled bitterly and sat down with no strength on his legs. Half-lying on the dragon chair, the monarch frowned and said, "Ling'er, go and see how the situation is in the backyard!"

Ling'er nodded and trotted to the backyard. After looking around, she ran into a room.

In the room, Xue Ze had already taken care of everything and stood vigorously, while Liu Li was dressed as a dying and weak appearance.

"How's it going?" asked Yukizawa.

"The situation is very good, the army of the second prince is about to come outside the national capital. When the time comes, you will go to the city tower!" Ling'er looked at Liu Li and did not find anything wrong. "It looks so realistic, it's exactly like that night. But will they attack Pingliang directly because he is dying? If so, then am I not a sinner of Pingliang?"

"No, don't worry, princess!" Liu Li stood up and walked quickly around the room. "I can either pretend to be weak or go into battle with a sword. If this Liu Zhong is really so bold, I will also have a way to subdue him! After I persuade the Beihua army, I will thank the princess and the monarch again!"

"Where are these words?" Ling'er smiled and said generously: "This matter is beneficial to both parties, you have untied a knot in my heart for me, and finally let my father and the queen of the country draw a clear relationship, I should thank you well!"

Lianzi and Fengxing looked at each other and smiled, and the two were still immersed in joy and couldn't wake up, as if the moment when Xue Ze cured Fengxing had just happened.

"Don't be polite to each other, hurry up and get ready!" Xue Ze smiled and said to Lianzi: "Don't laugh anymore, there will be time in the future! You go and say goodbye to Xia Feng first, and ask her not to leave this palace today, and contact you when there is something in the future!"

"That's right, Lianzi, you and Xia Feng are both... It's worth the trip!" Ling'er looked at the lotus seed with a flushed face, and deliberately stared at her with a strange smile until she ran out. "Yo, you're still shy!"

Seeing this, Fengxing coughed. "Please don't joke, the matter in front of you is imminent, let's deal with the Beihua army first!"

Ling'er nodded and smiled, "Okay, each of us has a task to do, so let's go with me now!"

At the foot of the city tower of the capital of Pingliang stood the soldiers of Beihua, the number of which was dizzy and dizzying, and they were like ants standing regularly on this flat and vast desert.

There are two people at the head of the Beihua army, one is young and vigorous, full of pride, and the other is old and serious, and it is the second prince of Beihua, Liu Zhong and the Marquis of Zhenning.

Before long, some people stood on the castle tower, led by the prince of song and laughter with a handsome face and a cold expression.

"The prince standing in the city is the eldest prince of Pingliang?" Liu Zhong asked first, his words were full of pride, and he seemed to be sure of victory.

Ge Xiao looked at him and replied expressionlessly: "Exactly! I don't know what the Beihua distinguished guest is doing here?"

"Since you are a distinguished guest, why don't you greet us? We marched so far that you were not moved at all, and you still refused to leave, is this the hospitality of Pingliang?"

"You have tens of thousands of elite soldiers, but it doesn't look like a special visit. If the second prince wants to discuss it well, he can enter the imperial city alone, and we will not stop him!"

Liu Zhong sneered, "Entering the Imperial City alone, do you think I'm stupid?"

"What does the second prince mean by bringing troops here?"

"I have told you many times the purpose of my visit, but you have turned a deaf ear, have you not taken us seriously? Is it unreasonable for us in Beihua to welcome the emperor back to the palace? You want to lure me in alone, do you want to put me to death?"

"You can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense!"

"Why did it become that I was talking nonsense? What about our emperor? Gone forever, is it not because he entered celibately?

Ge Xiao sneered for a while, and glanced at Liu Zhong with disdain. "Others are guts and trust, I think the second prince is not only missing, but also doesn't know how to communicate at all!"

Liu Zhong frowned and spat dissatisfiedly. "Phew, I'm going to compete with you barbarian, hurry up and hand over the emperor!"

"Why are you in such a hurry to see the emperor?" Ge Xiao glanced back and called Fengxing out. "The Emperor of Bei'an is safe and sound, and there is his most trusted Fengxing general to testify! What are your intentions when you are leading your troops now?

Liu Zhong looked at Fengxing, shocked and surprised, and asked coldly, "General Fengxing, where is the emperor?"

"The emperor is a little hurt and inconvenient to come out to blow the wind. Could it be that the second prince wants the emperor to be seriously ill? The emperor's handwritten letter has already been read to you many times, why do you still want to lead troops to force the city? I advise you to withdraw early, otherwise the emperor will blame!"

Liu Zhong laughed a few times and looked at Fengxing with dissatisfaction. "The emperor trusts you so much, but you don't care about his safety. I brought so many soldiers to take him back to the palace, this is not my will, but these soldiers who protect the family and defend the country want to jointly write a letter to save the emperor. After all, this world is the emperor's world, and the army is also the emperor's army, I am just a guide, what is the crime? Am you worried that the emperor is also at fault, so what should I do as a second brother?"

Feng Xing snorted dissatisfiedly and said to Liu Zhong: "Since the army is the emperor, it should obey the emperor's orders, not you!"

"Fengxing, don't go too far, I'm still your former leader!"

"I am grateful for my kindness, so I persuade you! Second prince, you have not been knighted, and you cannot lead tens of thousands of elite soldiers with your current official position. Although the Queen Mother gave you the Tiger Talisman, this is not a legal courtesy, I hope you will come out of the fire pit as soon as possible!"

Liu Zhong proudly took out the tiger talisman and held it in his arms. "Oh, this thing was given by the Queen Mother, so I naturally have to keep it! Since I have transferred the army, do I care so much?"

"Then have you ever thought that the highest order of the army is to obey the orders of the Son of Heaven!"

Liu Zhong calmed down his emotions for a while, and said with a fake smile: "These troops are naturally under the orders of the emperor, as long as you let the emperor come out, I will naturally hand over the command!"

"Okay, that's what you said!" Feng Xing smiled with satisfaction and helped Liu Li out. "Emperor Bei'an is here, and he still doesn't kneel?"

Seeing this, Liu Zhong was stunned, angry and shocked in his heart. The Marquis of Zhenning relaxed a lot, hurriedly dismounted with the generals, and knelt down with many soldiers: "See the emperor!"

"You all get up!" Liu Li coughed a few times and leaned weakly against Fengxing. "I've been unwell lately, and I've worried you. However, this Pingliang and Beihua have a good relationship, how can you make trouble here for me? It's really shameful and angry!"

The Marquis of Zhenning and the generals all bowed their heads and remained silent, only Liu Zhong sat on his horse angrily, letting the autumn wind blow his hair up and not moving.

"Why don't you speak?

The Marquis of Zhenning nodded, "The last general has not thought it through, and he asked the emperor to surrender his guilt!"

Liu Li smiled slightly, glanced at Liu Zhong, and seemed to ask: What about you?

Liu Zhong lowered his head and muttered a few words, and then took the reins in his hand, and then said loudly: "Third brother, I recently dreamed that you had an accident, so I came to take a look! I didn't expect that you were just sick in Pingliang! Then I will rest assured, and I will lead the troops back to the palace!"

"Wait!" Liu Li stopped Liu Zhong and said to the generals: "Are you guilty of disrespecting the order in this matter?"

"The minister is guilty!" everyone knelt down, and the Marquis of Zhenning said: "We received a letter from the emperor to withdraw from the army, but we were opposed by the second prince. After all, the Queen Mother handed over the military talisman to the second prince, and we can't help but obey the will. Although it is reasonable, it is not in the rules, please punish the emperor!"

"Punishment?" Liu Zhong sneered a few times, and said dissatisfiedly: "Isn't the Marquis of Zhenning here for love? I am the third brother in my heart, and you care about your beloved daughter, is this also wrong?"

"If the subordinates heard correctly, the second prince said that the army is the emperor's army, then since the emperor has come out, you should return the military talisman!" Feng Xing reminded Liu Zhong, thinking: My friendship with you has been defeated by you, and from the moment you hurt my sister, you are the opposite of me. Why, still look at me like this?

Liu Zhong looked at Liu Li and Fengxing fiercely, pinching the military talisman and refusing to let go. "This military talisman was given by the Queen Mother, what right do you have to take it?"

"But, this army only listens to the emperor!, isn't it?" Feng Xing asked loudly.

All the soldiers raised their weapons and replied loudly: "I will obey the emperor's command to the death!"

Liu Zhong looked back in horror, and then met the gazes of several generals, and was confused for a while. "You, you, you don't want to die, I see how the Queen Mother cleans you up!"

Liu Li patted Fengxing's shoulder and turned to leave. "Fengxing, take the military talisman, and retreat to Zhenning with King Hou. I'll stop for a moment, and I'll chase you!"

"Your Majesty, what should these two princes do?"

"Escort the second prince back, the Queen Mother will naturally have something to say! Now that we have taken over the military power, we should take a step back!"
