505 - Fallen leaves return to the roots

If it is said that what is the happiest day after the rebellion of Zhao Sui after the empress fights, then it is undoubtedly now.

April of the fourth year of the Apocalypse is destined to be a happy time period.

Since Wang Xiaolai went to the battlefield at the beginning of the battle, in less than a month in just over 20 days, two consecutive good news were transmitted back to Daxing City, and these two victories were far happier than Lu Gongyou's snowflake good news.

After all, with Lu Gongyou's ability, winning a battle is simply commonplace, but he accidentally fell into Litianxing's plan and capsized the boat.

But what about Wang Xiaolai?

Since the expedition, everyone has not been favored, that is, the empress, Narcissus, and the Eight Sages King who is far away in the north, and the four Lu Gongyou, who have been martyred, have some confidence in Wang Xiaolai.

And among these people, the empress and narcissus are skeptical, and the king is small, also because of friendship, speaking of which, it is really a little pitiful.

However, Wang Xiaolai is also angry, and with a solid record, the empress can be proud to puff up her chest in front of the hundred officials, although her scale is not very large, but the empress is indeed happy.

If it is said that Wang Xiaolai's first victory against Zhao Sui was completely out of luck, then the second battle that started from the Long Snake Valley and ended with the recovery of Nanyang, then Wang Xiaolai's performance is really worthy of being called the savior of Sui Yang.

In the first battle of the Long Snake Valley, Wang Xiaolai's troops annihilated 20,000 enemies and beheaded the two tigers of Zhao Sui's guards.

In addition, it was the recovery of Zhumaguan, Nanyang, and Wancheng, and nearly 40,000 enemies were broken in the middle, which added up to a great victory of 60,000 enemies.

The number of people is still second, the main thing is to move the battlefield from Sizhou to Yuzhou, so as to avoid Daxing City being threatened by the war.

It can be said that the current Wang Xiaolai has a rapid rise in the voice of the people, and he is faintly comparable to Lu Gongyou.

And with such a big victory, the casualties of Wang Xiaolai's troops did not exceed 20,000, and the number of casualties in the battle was even less.

When she first received the good news from Wang Xiaolai, the empress still clearly remembered her performance at that time.

If I remember correctly, the empress was working in the imperial study that day, and Camellia walked in quickly to say that Wang Xiaolai from the front line had sent good news, and the empress at that time was surprised: "Hasn't it been sent once, what's the matter, Xiao Laizi is confused?" Forgot? โ€

Camellia shook his head: "No, Your Majesty, this is the latest good news. โ€

With a bang, the empress stood up when she heard the sound, hurriedly took it from Camellia's hand, opened it, and only looked at it twice, and then she was overjoyed.

After reading the article, the empress swept away the depression that had been pressed by the mountain for several days, breathed happily, and said hello three times in a row.

Seeing that Camellia looked at herself suspiciously, the empress handed over the good news, and Camellia looked at it, and her dull face also showed a trace of surprise.

The empress raised her eyebrows and exhaled: "What a little laizi, it seems that the imperial uncle still knows much more about him than me, why didn't I find out this kid's ability before, if I knew this, why would I use Zhou Jinglian Zhao Yuanche to let him go directly, and it would save so much trouble." โ€

Later, the empress's voice gradually became quieter, and she also thought of Lu Gongyou, the Lu Gongyou who dedicated his life and even himself to Sui Yang.

"Alas, I don't know how Narcissus will feel after seeing the news of Xiao Laizi's victory again." Empress Dao.

From Lu Gongyou's martyrdom to the present, Narcissus has been staying in Wuhou Mansion and has not come out.

Empress Fu picked up the fold again, looked at it and said quietly: "Xiao Laizi said, Liu Mianyi Shen Xiping and Ning Xi have already snatched back Lu Gong's body, and it won't take a few days to transport it back to Daxing City, camellia, you say, when the time comes, how about I take the people of the whole city to welcome Lu Gong's coffin?" โ€

Camellia nodded: "The best." โ€

The empress snorted, and then smiled: "But now should be the time to be happy, Camellia, go, send this good news to the Hanlin Academy, let them copy and print the newspaper, and spread it all over Daxing City." No, it has to be spread all over Sizhou, and even, Qingzhou and these places have to be sent, I want everyone in the world to know that the end of Zhao Sui has arrived, and he thinks that a calendar day trip can make him turn over? I have a little laizi, a god-given god! โ€

The empress's words drove the camellia to be very excited, and her body couldn't help shaking a few times, then she hugged her fists and said yes, and turned around.

After the camellia left, the empress looked at the folds stacked like mountains on the dragon bookcase, smiled lightly, ignored them, and went directly out of the imperial study.

Mulan was guarding outside the imperial study, and when she saw the empress coming out, she asked the empress what she had to say.

The empress put her hands behind her back: "It's nothing, go to the Lu Gong's Mansion and see the narcissus." โ€

Mulan nodded: "The minister will go and prepare the dragon chariot." โ€

The empress snorted.

Seeing Mulan go, at this time, Le Gonggong, who had already been promoted to the Great Mink Temple, came over with a refreshing tea, and saw the empress standing outside, so he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed his head to salute, and said, "Your Majesty, the tea you want." โ€

The empress looked at the teapot made of red sandalwood and smiled: "No need. โ€

Father-in-law Le was stunned: "Your Majesty, didn't you just say that it was very troublesome to review the excerpt?" โ€

As soon as the words came out, Grandpa Le regretted it, after all, this is the palace inside, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, don't ask what you should ask, you have to pretend to be deaf and dumb, so that you can live for a long time, why did you make this low-level mistake.

Fortunately, the empress didn't care, and smiled and said, "Because I have more refreshing things." โ€

Gonggong Le was surprised when he heard this, and looked up at the empress in wonder.

The empress smiled: "The day after tomorrow at the latest, you will know." โ€

After speaking, the empress went directly, and it happened that Mulan prepared the dragon chariot, greeted the empress and said, "Your Majesty, you can go." โ€

The empress snorted, and together with Mulan, she got on the dragon chariot and headed towards the Wuhou Mansion.

In the back garden of Wuhou Mansion, Narcissus sat on the gazebo in plain clothes, looking at everything in the garden, even if she had been in this garden for more than 20 years, she still felt sad when she looked at those flowers and plants.

Especially when a petal falls on the edge of the rhizome, Narcissus feels a wave of sadness welling up in her heart.

She looked at the petals blankly, and said stupidly: "People often say that fallen leaves return to their roots, but Gongyou, where are your roots?" โ€

There are no outsiders, so Narcissus dares to confide in his heart like this.

When he was young, he worshiped his father-in-law Lu Gongyou, and when he grew up, he had already developed into a deformed emotion, and Narcissus naturally knew what he was thinking, so after all these years, he just buried this feeling in the deepest part of his heart, as long as he could see Lu Gongyou and see Lu Gongyou's face, then Narcissus would be content.

Fortunately, she is Lu Gongyou's daughter, and it is also an honor to be Lu Gongyou's daughter, Narcissus once thought that even if Lu Gongyou never marries, this is good, and he can take care of Lu Gongyou in his old age, watching the hero twilight, and accompanying him to the last mile.

But Narcissus never thought that Lu Wuwu, who had won a hundred battles on the battlefield, would have such an ending.

This is unacceptable to Narcissus, even now, she can think of what her father looked like when she taught her to learn literature and martial arts, and for a while, Narcissus was even more sad.

At this moment, I heard a familiar voice coming from behind me.

"Fallen leaves can eventually return to their roots, but the time has not yet come."

When Narcissus heard the voice, he turned back and hurriedly bowed: "Your Majesty." โ€

The empress came with a smile, helped Narcissus up, and said: "The front-line Xiao Laizi sent good news, defeated Zhao Sui, and recovered Zhumaguan, Wancheng, and Nanyang. In addition, Shen Xiping, Liu Mianyi, and Ning Xi also successfully recovered Lu Gong's body, which was already on the way to Daxing City, and it would not take a few days to arrive, and when the time came, I would lead the people of the whole city to greet Lu Gong's coffin. โ€

When Narcissus heard this, her expression immediately became excited, tears rolled in her eyes, and she knelt down again: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty." โ€

The empress helped her up again, and helped wipe the tears from the corners of Narcissus's eyes, and said, "It's a happy thing that Duke Lu can come back, why are you still crying." โ€

Narcissus shook his head to himself: "Your Majesty, I didn't cry, I didn't cry." โ€

The empress smiled and didn't say anything else.

Narcissus wiped away her tears and said strongly: "Your Majesty, the minister also wants to congratulate you." โ€

The empress was puzzled: "Congratulations to me?" What do I have to like? Oh, you mean that little Laizi won the battle. โ€

Narcissus shook his head: "No, congratulations, there is still a person in the world who is willing to do things for His Majesty that he is not willing to do." โ€
