Chapter 138, the Xiya Empire's army invaded in a big way
The Xiche Empire, where the imperial city is located. In winter, the imperial city is covered with snow, and all the buildings are covered with a white blanket, and in this world of ice and snow, it seems that all the dirt is covered up, making people feel exceptionally clean.
At this time, the bustle and prosperity in the imperial city were still the same, with people coming and going on the streets, and many vendors selling among the shops. A few naughty children run around the streets, causing many passers-by to complain. From time to time, a few patrolling guards walked through the streets, maintaining order on the busy streets.
On this seemingly ordinary day, outside the imperial city, there was a flying horse that entered the dust, crossed the main road that could not be hindered in any way, and went straight to the palace.
It has been two months since the generalissimo of Zhendong Li Yuanfu marched south, and during these two months, there have been such flying horses entering the imperial city to report the news, and people are used to seeing this.
For this kind of signal corps that urgently reports to the military, it is unimpeded along the way, and it is directly released.
When the signal soldier arrived at the main entrance of the palace, he took out the flag and waved it at the gatekeepers, who saluted and let him ride into the palace. After entering the palace, the signal soldier went directly to the dormitory where Guan Yu was located.
Guan Yu is located in the dormitory, which is slightly dim, the windows are covered by huge curtains, and the room is lit with a few lights that are flickering and off, creating a mysterious atmosphere. Behind a few large and exquisite screens, on the blankets spread on the ground, more than a dozen naked beauties surrounded a thin teenager, constantly playing with various tricks.
In the past two months, Guan Yu has hardly been in the court, and it is not his turn to interfere in national affairs anyway, so he simply spends his days in this dormitory to vent his dissatisfaction.
"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty! There is a signal corpsman coming from outside, saying that there is an urgent matter to tell Your Majesty!" At this time, a eunuch with a dusty hand walked in around the huge screen, bent down towards Guan Yu and said.
"Let him go!" Guan Yu has the heart to take care of other things, and his heart is on these beauties.
"But...... But Your Majesty, this person said that the situation is urgent, and you must ask Your Majesty to hear it!" the eunuch said again.
Guan Yu frowned, groaned slightly, stretched out his hand, and shouted to the few maids standing next to him, "Bring the clothes!"
The maids trembled, and hurriedly and carefully walked towards Guan Yu with the dragon robe, and put it on for Guan Yu.
Subsequently, Guan Yu walked out of the dormitory with the eunuch.
When the door of the dormitory was opened, the bright sunlight outside shone in, and the dazzling light hit Guan Yu's face, causing Guan Yu to raise his hand to block the scorching sun, and with his eyes slightly empty, he saw that a soldier in a battle robe was already kneeling in front of him: "What's the matter, tell me quickly!"
Guan Yu was a little impatient, he knew that as a puppet, he didn't have any rights, even if something really happened to the country, it would not be his turn to intervene.
"Returning to Your Majesty! Generalissimo Zhendong was heavily injured in the battle with the alliance of the southern kings, and now the situation is critical! And I heard that on the eastern border of the empire, the army of the Xiya Empire invaded on a large scale! It is precisely because of this that the generalissimo was distracted, and he was persecuted by the traitorous Xiao Yan during the battle!" the soldier said through gritted teeth, looking indignant, eager to kill Xiao Yan, and at the same time very angry at the invasion of the Xiya Empire.
"Li Yuanfu is injured!?Is it serious!?" Guan Yu, who was originally absent-minded, suddenly showed an eager look on his face, as if he cared about Li Yuanfu.
The soldier gritted his teeth, raised his head and looked at Guan Yu, happy that Guan Yu could care so much about the Minister of State, but he couldn't help but feel bitter and sad in his heart, and said sadly: "The Generalissimo is seriously injured! But it should be fine! But he will not be able to fight for the next period of time! Moreover, the eastern border is greatly threatened, and the Generalissimo has already sent the elite to the east. Prepare a defensive strategy against the combined forces of the southern kings. ”
"Okay!!!good!!!!" Guan Yu suddenly said three "good" words in succession, and his eyebrows suddenly danced. However, he immediately realized his gaffe, and quickly retracted his mind, looked left and right at the guards by the door, and after letting the soldier retreat, he turned around and whispered to the eunuch in his ear: "Gonggong Wu, I bother you to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion and inform Prime Minister Tang that I am very uneasy in my heart, and I have decided to personally go to the Southern Theater to supervise the battle in order to improve the morale of the soldiers!"
The eunuch thought for a while, and then quickly walked towards the outside of the palace.
However, it was said that the eunuch had just passed through the two palaces, but in a garden, he met Chen Zihua, the commander of the Tianma cavalry.
"Where is Gonggong Wu going!?" Chen Zihua knew that this eunuch was close to his reputation, and he didn't know why he was walking here in a hurry at this moment.
Gonggong Wu was stunned, raised his head, and saw that it was Chen Zihua, but he was shocked: "Commander Chen!, why are you here!?"
Chen Zihua smiled slightly and said, "Concubine Shu asked me to find some decals for her, saying that she should dress up well!"
After Chen Zihua finished speaking, he took out two long hairpins from the cuffs, the hairpins were beautifully carved, and a few plum blossoms were embellished on them, which looked very good.
When Gonggong Wu saw this hairpin, his eyes lit up, and a bunch of smiles appeared on his face, and his whole face formed layers of folds, and he reached out to take the hairpin in Chen Zihua's hand while speaking: "Concubine Shu is in this empty palace, and I don't know who to dress up for?"
"Huh...... Everyone has a love for beauty, although women are pleasing to themselves, but in the absence of a confidant, what is wrong with dressing up, admiring it for yourself, and living beautifully?" Chen Zihua saw Gonggong Wu's hand reaching out, and quickly shrank and dodged.
"Commander Chen! There are some things that can't be done! The old man should never have met him today, and you should give me the hairpin!" Gonggong Wu didn't hold the hairpin in his hand, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious in his heart.
Chen Zihua raised his eyebrows slightly, but there was no flustery in his heart, he stared at the eunuch with a light smile on his face, and said, "Father-in-law, where are you going in a hurry?"
Gonggong Wu took a quick step forward and reached out again to grab the hairpin in Chen Zihua's hand, this time Chen Zihua did not dodge, and let the eunuch hold the hairpin in his hand. After getting the hairpin, Gonggong Wu was very happy, looked at the exquisite hairpin in his hand with a smile, and said while admiring it: "It's not Guan Yu this kid! I don't know which tendon has a problem, and when I heard the news that the generalissimo Zhendong was injured, I want to go to supervise the battle in person! I said it was to boost morale! You said it was ridiculous and not ridiculous? He actually asked me to find Prime Minister Tang, probably because he wanted Prime Minister Tang Cheng to fund his journey to the south! Hey, hey, hey! It's ridiculous! This hairpin is so beautiful!"
"Did he really ask you to find Prime Minister Tang!?" Chen Zihua's face suddenly became solemn, and he stared at the eunuch and said.
The eunuch was all about the hairpin in his hand, and he didn't notice the change in Chen Zihua's complexion at all, but nodded.
"Zheng!!" Suddenly, a flash of knife light flashed. Chen Zihua pulled out the straddle knife at his waist and cut off the eunuch's head at once.
"Poof!" Suddenly red blood gushed out like a spring, the eunuch's head rolled to the ground, and he stared at Chen Zihua with extremely surprised eyes before he died, not knowing what happened at all.
Chen Zihua looked at the blood splattered all over his body, kicked the headless corpse away, and then strode towards Guan Yu's dormitory.
