The northwest wind is mighty.

Although spring has already begun, the cold of winter has not subsided, and it is still bitterly cold. As far as the eye can see, the heavens and the earth are still thin and depressed, and there is a vast expanse. There is no sign of spring returning to the earth and all things recovering.

Even so, in the military camp in Huaiyang City, the figures on the training ground were like clouds, shouting like thunder, and the momentum was huge and shocking. Even if Shangguan Jiyue was standing on the high slope in the distance, he could still feel the soldiers who were practicing like black clouds, with iron courage and enthusiasm, and their momentum was like a rainbow.

Once such an army goes south, it will crush everything wherever it reaches, and it will be like a bamboo, and it will be just around the corner to break through Pingyang, the capital of Nanchi.

It is about to come to the twentieth day of the first month, the day when the emperor opens the seal. As soon as the golden seal is opened, the holy decree will be announced to the world, and Beicang will wave his army south to crusade against the tyrant.

At that time, the entire Huashuo Continent will be in flames of war and strife. The people of Nanchi, who live in dire straits, will be even worse.

Hearing that Nan Chi had been forcibly conscripted in the country, Situ Rui personally issued a holy decree that all men over the age of 14 and under the age of 60 were forcibly incorporated into the army. The wives of the people are separated, and the families are not married.

There are even some officers and men in the army who have already been formed, forcibly robbing civilian women, taking them into the barracks to serve as military prostitutes, and abusing them to death. Such a tyrannical act is simply outrageous.

However, what was even more unexpected was that just when the soldiers of the whole army were looking forward to the emperor's holy decree to send troops, Emperor Beicang actually opened the seal in advance and personally sent Xiao Hong, the leader of the shadow guards in the palace, to get close to Huaiyang City.

This Xiao commander is forty years old, tall and broad, with a dignified face and resolute and tough lines. A pair of eyes are bright, but the spirit is hidden, and at first glance he is a steady and upright person.

What he brought this time was a holy decree, but it was a thunderbolt from the sky, which stunned the soldiers of the three armies at once.

The holy decree is the emperor's imperial pen himself, the thunder monarch is unspeakably angry, just like the mighty thunder when the head is split, every word refers to General Qi Yuqi to the weak daughter of the man to join the army, deceive the king, trouble military discipline, his crime should be punished.

Reciting his past military exploits, Tekai gave him an opportunity to return to Beijing to plead his case, and on the day the holy decree arrived, he set off on the same day without delay.

Coach Yu Wenjing was dizzy, and there was no distinction between men and women, so he was specially dismissed from his military post as commander and demoted to the general of Huaiyang to defend the city and guard Huaiyang.

King Chen knew the identity of Qi Yu's woman but concealed it, deliberately deceived her, and slept with her, the relationship was ambiguous and unclear, and my heart was very cold. The crime of deceiving the king is unforgivable, reciting his military exploits for many years, and coinciding with the time when the troops were sent south to employ people, Teen pardoned him for his crimes and meritorious service, and served as the commander and general of the Southern Expedition, leading the three armies to attack Nanchi. However, the capital crime can be avoided, but the living crime is unforgivable, and a hundred military sticks are beaten to set an example, and there is nothing to do to return to the court.

Major General Yu Wenyi, as the commander of the first battalion of the Feiyu Battalion, read that he really did not know the inside story, but he also had the crime of negligence, and beat the 20 military sticks to show warning, and ordered the deputy marshal general of the three armies to assist King Chen's southern expedition......

The emperor opened the seal in advance, issued four holy decrees in a row, and sent the commander of the shadow guard to personally detain Qi Yu and return to Kyoto for trial.

The fact that General Qi Yuqi was a woman spread throughout the entire military camp in an instant like a violent wind, and the officers and men of the three armies were shocked, and they gathered together in twos and threes to discuss in a low voice.

"Have you heard? General Qi turned out to be a woman! We didn't even recognize it! ”

"Yes! I'll just say it! How can there be a man in the world who is so good-looking? It turned out to be a woman! ”

"How could a good woman who is not at home with her husband and children suddenly run to the barracks to join the army? And hang out with a bunch of us guys all day long, what kind of thing is this?! Who would dare to marry such a woman in the future?! ”

"Come on, you! Who would dare to think of marrying General Qi now? She has slept in the same barracks with His Royal Highness King Chen for so long, haven't you heard the holy decree that the relationship between the two is ambiguous? Who else can she marry in this world except His Royal Highness? ”

"If you want me to say, although General Qi is a daughter, he is not inferior to us men, brave and strategic, and the first battle of Huaiyang is to save the people from fire and water, and become famous all over the world, who doesn't know her Qi Yu's name! Such a woman is wise and courageous, and she does not let her eyebrows be shaved, and she is more worthy of the respect of our army officers and soldiers! ”

"What's the use of talking about that now? Have you not heard the decree? The crime of bullying the king can be punished! I don't know if I'll be able to see you alive when I go back to Kyoto this time! How many strange women like General Qi are there in the world? was really punished for the crime of bullying the king, which is really embarrassing and chilling! ”

Everyone bowed their heads and fell into silence when they heard this, and one of them, who had been silent all along, and looked loyal and honest, suddenly said: "I want to go and plead with General Qi!" In the battle of Huaiyang that day, she once rescued me, whether she was a woman or not, in my heart, she was my life-saving benefactor, worthy of my respect! ”

This person's words stirred up a thousand waves, and everyone was silent and remembered the heroic figure of the past. The army pressed the situation and did not change its face, and among the three armies, the generals were killed, and the blood-stained robes were still fighting bravely...... Suddenly, I felt that my pride was surging, and the soldier's iron blood was boiling in his chest. Such a woman is better than a man, and such a general is indeed worthy of their respect and maintenance.

So, the generals in the army went to the big tent with arrogance to plead for Qi Yu, a strange woman.

In the Shenlong camp, in front of the main general's barracks, Shangguan Jiyue was dressed in military uniform, heroic and cool, three thousand green silks were like waterfalls, pouring straight down, and her clear and beautiful face was calm and calm, and she was not recognized as a woman's panic and uneasiness at all.

"This king won't let her go back to Jian'an alone!"

Huangfu Chen stretched out his arms in front of Shangguan Jiyue, his scarlet eyes stared at Commander Xiao tightly, his expression was resolute, and the strong coercion spread out like raging flames. After many years of Jin Ge Iron Horse, the murderous aura accumulated in the blood of the battlefield quickly condensed all over the body, and the cold and piercing skin of the forest were shocking.

However, in the face of such a powerful aura as Huangfu Chen, this Xiao Commander still had no waves, only bowed slightly, his attitude was respectful and detached, and said: "His Royal Highness King Chen, Xiao is here with the emperor's order, and I hope His Royal Highness will not deliberately embarrass him." ”

"What if this king is going to do so?!"

"The emperor's order is in his body, and it is really difficult to obey Xiao's fate."

"How dare you !!" Huangfu Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, took a step forward, suddenly pulled out the sword at his waist, and put it on Xiao Hong's neck, his cold tone penetrated people's roots, "This king will personally return to Beijing to explain the beginning and end to his father, if you dare to forcibly take her away, don't blame this king for being unkind!" ”

Even though the sword blade on his neck was biting, this Xiao Commander was also fearless, his tall figure was as immobile as a mountain, and he didn't look at the sword on his neck at the end of his eyes, and calmly met Huang Fuchen's eyes, and said:

"His Royal Highness King Chen is the respect of the prince, of course he does not dare to do anything with His Royal Highness, if His Royal Highness wants Xiao's life easily, he only needs to move his fingers to take my head. But Xiao is a special envoy sent by the emperor, and the emperor's order is difficult to disobey, even if he dies, he can't bear the emperor's trust. ”

"Don't think that this king really doesn't dare to kill you!"

Huang Fuchen's face was tense, the roots of his teeth were clenched, and the words he said were not warm, almost squeezed out from between his teeth. At the same time, the long sword in his hand moved forward again, and a bloody color immediately appeared on Xiao Hong's neck.
