"Your Majesty, this time I brought back a total of 70,000 troops, the front line is currently led by Jin Shichang and Liu Mianyi, it's not that I don't worry about the ability of the two of them, but Zhao Sui and his subordinates, in terms of character, they are not Zhao Sui's opponents, so I have to rush back to the front line as soon as possible, Daxing City, I will leave you 40,000 troops."

In a short meeting in the imperial study, Wang Xiaolai said to the empress in front of everyone.

His way of speaking made Feng Qingyun very unhappy, and he felt that the current Sui Yang was already Wang Xiaolai's final say.

Especially when Wang Xiaolai said these words in such a savior-like tone.

But how to say it, of the 80,000 armed forces in Daxing City now, 70,000 are the counterinsurgents brought back by Wang Xiaolai, and among the remaining 10,000, there are still 6 or 7,000 reinforcements from Echo Valley, and only the few thousand people left are the power of the imperial court, even if he is angry, he doesn't dare to say it clearly.

The empress nodded: "Okay, anyway, the current crisis in Daxing City has been lifted, and you should go back as soon as possible, but you have left so many soldiers and horses, okay?" Zhao Sui is not a good stubble. ”

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I have already figured out what Zhao Sui did, what he wanted to do, I could guess what he wanted, if he hadn't been stolen by Hu Hu, I would have beaten Zhao Sui and surrendered."

Empress: "··· Although he said that, he couldn't be too careless, who knows if Zhao Sui has reinforcements. ”

Wang Xiaolai hehe: "It's like we don't have reinforcements." ”

The empress was stunned when she heard this: "We still have reinforcements?" ”

Liu Maolin lowered his head and pondered after listening to Wang Xiaolai's words on the side, and suddenly remembered Silla's Suizhu, he was surprised at the time, and said that Wang Xiaolai's reinforcements would not refer to Suizhu.

Thinking like this in his heart, Liu Maolin looked up at Wang Xiaolai, but Wang Xiaolai didn't say anything, and Liu Maolin had no choice.

Wang Xiaolai followed: "Since Your Majesty has no opinion, then it is decided, leave 40,000 troops in Daxing City, and I will return to the front line with the rest." ”

The empress shook her head and said, "I still feel a little less. ”

Wang Xiaolai shook his head: "So much, enough, compared to the battlefield on the front line, I am more worried about the side of Daxing City, this time, it is because of the emptiness of personnel that Hu Hu almost succeeded in stealing his home, and he has already suffered a loss, but he can't stumble on it again." ”

Seeing Wang Xiaolai say this, the empress had no choice but to nod: "Okay, since you insist, you have to do this." ”

Wang Xiaolai snorted, looked at Shu Jiuchai, who was also staying in the imperial study because of his relationship, and said, "Jiuchai, during my absence, don't go back to Echo Valley for the time being, and help Your Majesty." ”

Shu Jiuchai hummed softly.

Wang Xiaolai looked around at everyone again and said, "Everyone, come and go, Sui Yang is in trouble this time, so I will trouble you." ”

Everyone else hugged their fists and said that they should be, but Feng Qingyun felt uncomfortable in his heart, and said in his heart that you are old, how can you use such lofty words to order us?

The thought in her heart just fell, and the empress said directly: "Little Laizi, I once said that if you win Zhao Sui, I will promote you to a first-class official position, I calculate, you fought by yourself, and won a total of four victories against Zhao Sui..."

What the empress said is already obvious, this is to promote Wang Xiaolai.

If you really follow what the empress said, if Wang Xiaolai wins these four games, he will have to be at least a first-class official position.

But Wang Xiaolai became a first-class official at this age, how do you think, how do you think it is incredible.

Even Wang Xiaolai himself felt a little embarrassed: "Your Majesty, the matter of promotion, let's talk about it when I win Zhao Sui back, the situation in Suiyang is not clear at the moment, and it is not the time to celebrate." ”

Wang Xiaolai's words made the empress even more happy: "Well, since this is the case, then I will tell you the words first, the three of the court sit alone, and the position of the big Sima will be reserved for you." ”

Wang Xiaolai hugged his fists and replied yes.

This made Feng Qingyun unhappy again.

Without further ado, after all the officials left, the empress left Wang Xiaolai alone.

Wang Xiaolai also knew in his heart that the empress was going to say some confidant words to herself, after all, Zhao Liwen, who the empress had always thought was her father, had gone, and during this time, the empress's mood didn't need to be said much, so it was naturally clear.

"Little Laizi, come and sit, sit beside me." The empress patted herself and sat next to her.

Wang Xiaolai looked at the position of the empress, and was a little embarrassed.

has been by the empress's side for two years, and Wang Xiaolai also knows some etiquette, so he stood in place in embarrassment: "Your Majesty, this is not good." ”

The empress raised her eyebrows: "If you want to come over, come over, what nonsense!" ”

As soon as the empress said this, Wang Xiaolai immediately coaxed, ran to him in a few steps, and knelt next to the empress in a half-squatting position, as if proposing.

It's just that there is no such thing as a marriage proposal in this world.

Seeing Wang Xiaolai's funny appearance, the empress was amused, and said with a smile: "Come up and sit." ”

"It's not Your Majesty, I'm just an ordinary person, how dare I be a dragon chair, this is not in accordance with the rules." Wang Xiaolai said euphemistically.

As if she had heard some funny joke, the empress looked at Wang Xiaolai in surprise: "What did you just say?" ”

"It's not in order."

The empress pouted: "Do the words rules have anything to do with you?" Is that something you should consider? ”

Wang Xiaolai: "···"

The empress said, "I remember, you have never been a person who talks about rules. ”

"This time and that time, that's not."

"You can't come, but if you don't come, I'll call someone else."

"Come here, come here."

As he spoke, Wang Xiaolai sat directly next to the empress, also on the dragon chair.

Sitting on the hard Bangbanglong chair, Wang Xiaolai swallowed his saliva: "Your Majesty, shouldn't you just sit on this thing every day and make folds, how uncomfortable." ”

"Grandpa Gao said that if the place to sit is too comfortable, people will become lazy." Empress Dao.

When Wang Xiaolai heard this, he despised Zhao Guang in his heart.

It's just that the idea hasn't landed yet, and suddenly, I feel a person rushing in my arms, and when I look down, it is the empress.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

Wang Xiaolai muttered.

The empress sighed: "Little Laizi, don't speak, let me lean on." ”

Wang Xiaolai really didn't move, but his posture was a little too awkward, which made Wang Xiaolai uncomfortable.

"First Lu Gong left, and then Zhao Weng left again. Xiao Laizi, a Zhao Sui, has made me lose too much. In the two days since you came back, I haven't rested well, and as soon as I close my eyes, my mind is full of what Zhao Sui looked like after he won the world. Little Laizi, what should I do? ”

Wang Xiaolai gently patted the empress on the shoulder: "Your Majesty, don't worry, isn't there still me and the Eighth Prince." Don't worry, just Zhao Sui's cowardice, I will beat him every minute. ”

The empress looked up: "But what if something happens to you?" ”

Wang Xiaolai was stunned, and then smiled: "It's okay, even if something happens to me, isn't there still the Eighth Prince, Your Majesty, you forgot, in the title of the Eighth Prince, there are three words of the backer." That's Sui Yang's backer. ”

The empress shook her head: "No, I don't want anything to happen to you, if there really is such a day, I will personally go to the battlefield to avenge you." ”

Wang Xiaolai was shocked: "Your Majesty, you don't want to die!" ”

The empress looked at Wang Xiaolai faintly: "So, for my sake, you'd better not have an accident." ”

In a word, Wang Xiaolai fell silent, and said faintly: "Okay, Your Majesty, I promise you." ”

When the empress heard this, she smiled and said, "Bow your head." ”

Wang Xiaolai: "??? ”

The empress snorted angrily: "Bow your head." ”

Wang Xiaolai lowered his head.

The empress reached out and hugged Wang Xiaolai's head, and her lips touched Wang Xiaolai's forehead.

"I only hope that your heart will be like my heart, and I will never abandon each other."

The empress said this paragraph slowly.

Wang Xiaolai's face instantly flushed, what the empress said to herself just now was not me, but me, which is equivalent to saying that the empress gave up her identity as the Son of Heaven and said this to herself.

If a little girl tells you this, and you are still deaf and dumb, then you are really not human.

Wang Xiaolai also hugged the empress with his backhand: "Your Majesty, even if there is really a time when the sky is falling, I will stand firmly behind you." ”

The empress shook her head: "No, I hope that when the time comes, you will stand by my side..."
