More than half a month has passed since Tang Yun was arrested.

No one knows what kind of reply the empress gave to the envoys of the Northern Wilderness, in short, reconciliation is inevitable.

Shendu has returned to its usual tranquility, and the sense of crisis under the original Northern Wilderness soldiers in the city no longer exists, and the people's forgetfulness is great. There are many things that can be forgotten without even noticing.

In June of the second year of Shengong, when the first rays of sunlight in the morning fell on the towering palace wall, the imperial city was changed again.

It's an inconspicuous thing, but it's the most daunting task of every day for the palace guards.

After being guarded by the guards at the gate for a day, the task of guarding Miyagi was given to the Eagle Yang Guard, who was also a forbidden army, as usual, and for Miyagi inside, it was even stricter.

The captain of the city gate yawned and walked to the city gate, chatted with a group of his henchmen, and then assigned the next task.

Because they were troops stationed at the city gates, they were equipped with the best weapons, both in terms of weapons and armor. It is precisely because of this that these people are also selected from many people, even some noble sons who came in with their ancestors' military exploits also have their own abilities.

Du Wei had just been chatting with someone, and suddenly saw his cronies hurrying over, and his face turned pale.

Du Wei felt very strange, because this cronie, who usually seemed to be very stable, how could he suddenly become like this today, so he hurriedly asked him what was going on.

The cronies' faces were full of panic, and their lips trembled and they couldn't speak. When the lieutenant was a little impatient, the cronie said something that the lieutenant did not expect.

He hurriedly took the people beside him and went over together.

Hanguang Gate is a side gate of the imperial city, which is usually not opened on weekdays, but today, there are many soldiers gathered in front of the city gate, and there are many discussions.

"Get out of the way, what's going on!" The Lieutenant shouted.

The group of soldiers heard that it was their commander who scolded them, and hurriedly made way of the way, and the lieutenant rushed over at this time

On the ground, a female corpse was lying.

She was indeed dead, with no strands of body covered, and there were traces of whipping everywhere, and it was engraved with symbols that the Captain did not recognize.

The lieutenant looked at the woman's face, and although he might have seen it somewhere, he didn't recognize it.

There were countless possibilities in his mind, but at this time, he didn't dare to speculate any more. While letting his subordinates take care of the female corpse, he reported the matter to General Zhonglang.

General Zhonglang also rushed over and looked at the female corpse, but he was also confused, so he reported the matter to the general.

However, the general went to the court meeting. So Zhonglang General stood at the door of the Taiqian Hall and waited quietly.

……

Today's court meeting is mainly to discuss issues related to the Western Regions.

Now, the Northern Wilderness has basically reached an agreement with the Great Zhou. As long as Beihuang sends another person to Shendu, the two sides can negotiate peace.

In order to show their sincerity, the Northern Wilderness Army had begun to retreat a few days ago, and some of the troops stationed in the forward positions had disappeared.

This situation made the lords and factions in the court overjoyed, and they wrote one after another, asking the emperor to shake hands and make peace with the Northern Wilderness as soon as possible.

But at this time, there were also some generals who disagreed with this point of view.
