The next day.

Zhao Lin opened his eyes and straightened up.

He glanced at Xiaoxiao, who was still asleep next to the pillow, and a trace of aftertaste appeared on his face.

Last night, he fought Xiaoxiao seven times.

No mercy.

It is estimated that it will take a day or two for the other party to recover.

is Zhao Lin's young and strong body, and he has a feeling of waste at this time.

"The ancients said that Gentle Township is a hero's mound, and this statement is indeed true. ”

Zhao Lin glanced at Xiaoxiao, and then shook his head coldly.

Disaster in disguise.

Zhao Lin got up and put on his clothes, and walked out of the dormitory alone.

Outside the dormitory, the palace maids and eunuchs who had been waiting all night were about to salute.

"No need......

Zhao Lin waved his hand and said, "Wait for Concubine Xiao to wake up, tell him that I am gone, and let her recuperate." ”

"The slave obeys. ”

The eunuchs and palace ladies saluted respectfully.

At this time, in the dormitory, on the dragon couch.

Xiaoxiao slowly opened her eyes.

She slowly got up, but felt a burning pain in her body.

On the sheets, there was still a touch of red.

Last night was undoubtedly a stormy night.

However, after Zhao Lin woke up, he left directly without saying a word to her.

Sure enough, the Son of Heaven has been ruthless since ancient times.

But Xiaoxiao was not annoyed.

She has already successfully implemented the first step.

Take control of Your Majesty and take control of the Great Song Dynasty.

However, after experiencing last night's incident, she seems to have a little more dependence on Zhao Lin in her heart.

And Zhao Lin didn't show much affection for her.

This made Xiaoxiao's mood a little complicated.

Is she slowly controlling Your Majesty, or is she slowly sinking into Your Majesty's hands?

......

At this time, inside the Cining Palace.

"Queen Mother, a great event!"

As soon as the Queen Mother woke up, an old lady came to report, "Yesterday, Your Majesty asked Concubine Xiao to stay in the palace." ”

"What?"

The Queen Mother's face immediately swelled with a touch of surprise, Her Majesty has never touched Xiaoxiao, she still thinks that Her Majesty doesn't like Xiaoxiao.

Since she didn't like it, she naturally couldn't force it.

The Queen Mother is even ready to draft a draft for the people and choose concubines for Zhao Lin.

There are so many women in the world, you can always find one that satisfies Zhao Lin, right?

Unexpectedly, Xiaoxiao still successfully entered Zhao Lin's eyes and won the favor of His Majesty.

"Come on, pass on the imperial doctor!"

The Queen Mother's expression suddenly became very nervous, "From today on, let them go to check Concubine Xiao's pulse once a day, and if Concubine Xiao's pulse is abnormal, they will immediately report to the mourning family." ”

"Yes. ”

Looking at the palace maid who retreated, the queen mother's heart blossomed.

I hope that Xiaoxiao's belly can compete for some gas, and take this opportunity to give him a grandson directly......

......

Zhao Lin returned to Daqing Hall and began to deal with political affairs.

Although the beauty is good, Zhao Lin knows very well that the country is the first.

If there is no country, where is the beauty?

Zhao Lin swept the table in front of him.

It's already full of folds.

In addition to some daily affairs, the biggest thing is the imperial examination.

After Zhao Lin reopened the imperial examination, he went through the township examination and the meeting examination, and now, he has entered the link of the palace examination.

According to the practice of the Great Song Dynasty, the palace examination was to be presided over by the emperor himself.

Candidates who pass the general examination can enter the temple examination.

The palace examination is the last procedure of the imperial examination, which will select the top three and the jinshi of the current dynasty.

passed the palace examination, that is the protégé of the Son of Heaven.

Those ministers who can stand above the court, those feudal officials in the local area, which one is not from Jinshi?

If you can become the top three in the palace examination, it will be even more promising.

In Zhao Lin's hand, he held the list of tribute students who will participate in the palace examination tomorrow.

"I hope that among these tributes, there will be talents who can really be used in the world......

Zhao Lin put down the list, but there was a glimmer of light in his eyes.

Zhao Lin didn't care much about the ability of these tributes to write poems and songs.

What he is concerned about is whether there are people who can help the country.

That's all that matters.

Nothing else, it doesn't matter.

......

At this time, on the north bank of the Yangtze River, three hundred miles away.

A majestic army, entrenched on the border of the Great Song Dynasty.

The size of this army is more than 100,000 people.

The commander of the army, riding a sweaty and bloody horse, wearing dragon armor and a golden cloak on his shoulders, was majestic, and he looked like he was in his thirties, his eyebrows were like falcons, and he exuded an astonishing sharpness.

This person is none other than the emperor of the Fire Empire, Yu Wenlie.

His gaze was deep as he looked south.

"According to the time, Ling Fox Wing should almost send someone back. ”

Looking at the ground that was still motionless in front of him, Yu Wenlie couldn't help frowning.

Ling Huyi led 50,000 light cavalry to attack Jinling City at night, and once successful, he personally led the follow-up main force to receive Jinling City, and then occupied the entire Great Song Dynasty.

Swish!

At this moment, a sound of breaking wind suddenly sounded in mid-air, and I saw a black-robed figure passing through the air, and finally fell in front of Yu Wenlie.

cough cough cough ......

The moment the black shadow hit the ground, it coughed violently, and a large amount of blood spilled from the corner of its mouth.

"Great Elder!"

Yu Wenlie was also suddenly shocked when he saw this black shadow.

The person in front of him was none other than the Great Elder of the Demon Dao who had been defeated at the hands of the Eastern Sect Master!

He was full of ambition and set out with the Fox Wing army, but now he was seriously injured!

"Great Elder, what's going on?"

Yu Wenlie's face was a little ugly, and he had an ominous premonition in his heart.

"We lost. ”

The Great Elder of the Demon Dao looked depressed.

"Defeated?"

Yu Wenlie's face showed a touch of disbelief.

As far as he knew, this time, in addition to Ling Foxyi's 50,000 light cavalry, there were also three great grandmasters and powerhouses accompanying him, and they all attacked Jinling City, which had less than 5,000 defenders.

How can you lose?

"Ling Fox Wing and Gu Yong died in battle, Nie Yuanlou didn't know it, and there were many bad lucks. ”

The Great Elder of the Demon Aspect Dao shook his head and informed Yu Wenlie of the news of the annihilation of the 50,000-strong army.

Yu Wenlie's body shook.

He is still here waiting for the triumphant song of Ling Fox Wing.

Unexpectedly, the 50,000 army that launched a surprise attack was wiped out!

The killed are killed, the captured are captured, and the overboard is overboard.

But not a single one survived.

It's like a slap in the head, making Yu Wenlie's face pale!

"Your Majesty, please immediately send an order to march, and let us avenge those 50,000 brothers!"

Behind Yu Wenlie, a general of the Fire Empire roared at Yu Wenlie.

"That's right, destroy the Great Song Dynasty and avenge those 50,000 brothers!"

"Revenge!"

The fire soldiers in the rear also clamored in unison.

However, Yu Wenlie raised his palm and shook his head.

"Withdraw the troops!

"Temporarily stop all military operations against the Great Song Dynasty!"

Yu Wenlie's order made the soldiers of the Flame Army confused.

Just a withdrawal?

The 50,000 army died in vain?

The Flame General wanted to persuade again, but Yu Wenlie's voice suddenly became cold, "Whoever dares to persuade again, there will be no mercy!"
