089 Border generals killed

Xiang Hongxuan walked into the inner hall with a solemn face, he was a little surprised when he heard that Ling Xi was coming, and he came at this time. "Your Majesty, did the concubine disturb you?" Ling Xi looked at Xiang Hongxuan, who was walking towards him, and said politely.

"It's okay, I've already finished discussing things, and the queen has been waiting for a long time."

"Your Majesty, this is the dim sum of the Jiaofang Palace, and the concubine specially sent it to His Majesty to taste." As she spoke, Ling Xi took out a plate of delicate pastries from the food box, and she placed them in front of Xiang Hongxuan's eyes.

"The queen has a heart."

Xiang Hongxuan glanced at the pastries on the table, the corners of his mouth inadvertently rose slightly, his queen still cared about him, he slowly sat down beside Ling Xi, and looked at Ling Xi with some meaning.

"Queen, just now another military report was sent from the Xihua border, and Jiang Yong, the eldest son of the Marquis of Anguo, was killed in battle."

"What?" Ling Xi was taken aback! "How so? My cousin has been training with his uncle in the southern military camp since he was a child, how could he die in battle like this? ”

Ling Xi couldn't believe her ears, originally she was here to inquire about Ye Muzhi's situation, but she waited for the news of Jiang Yong's death. Jiang Yong is the successor of her uncle Jiang Zhennan who has worked hard to train for more than 20 years, and now that Jiang Yong has died in battle, what should the Marquis of Anguo Mansion do in the future.

"Jiang Yong is a fierce general, originally he would not have been ambushed so easily, if Wang Bo was not captured by the king of Lin'an in Xihua, Jiang Yong would not have taken the risk of sending troops to rescue Wang Bo, the king of Lin'an had already calculated, leaving an empty camp for Jiang Yong to raid, and after Jiang Yong led the troops to rescue Wang Bo, the king of Lin'an laid an ambush on their way back to intercept them, Jiang Yong and Wang Bo unfortunately died in ambush."

"Aren't Xihua and Dongyu already interconnected? The two countries are at peace with each other, why are they fighting? Ling Xi asked puzzled. Didn't Feng Yingying marry Dongyu precisely because of the friendship between the two countries? How can there be a fight?

"Wang Bo in his own town of the border town wanton, clever robbery, he governs the underground, and Xihua trade is also made by him miasma, and he is also in the border town to rob the people's daughter, I heard that he robbed a Xihua country to the border town to do trade women, this woman is the sister-in-law of the king of Lin'an, after the king of Lin'an knew, he took hundreds of soldiers to break into the Dongyu military camp overnight, and captured Wang Bo alive. The queen can rest assured, I will not settle this account like this, I want Xihua to pay for the blood debt. ”

At this time, Xiang Hongxuan's face also leaked an embarrassed look, although it was Wang Bo who died at the border, but it gave him a reason to go to war, should he blame Wang Bo for his arrogance and rudeness, or thank him for martyrdom and add a pretext for Dongyu's attack on Xihua?

"So because Wang Bo is alone, is Dongyu going to war with Xihua?"

Ling Xi's eyes immediately overflowed with tears, as soon as she thought of going to war with Xihua, would Ye Muzhi be able to come back safely? Her heart ached so hard that tears flowed out of her eyes.

Xiang Hongxuan thought that Ling Xi would be sad, after all, Jiang Yong was her cousin, and he couldn't help but wipe away the tears on Ling Xi's face with his hand.

"Queen, the war is like this, death does not mean the end, but the beginning, this battle is inevitable, I want to fight this battle fiercely, so that Xihua will not dare to argue with Dongyu from now on." Xiang Hongxuan said domineeringly, as if he could shine in his eyes.

Ling Xi knew that Xiang Hongxuan was determined to fight this battle, and blocking it by herself would make him suspicious, so she left the Flying Feather Hall lonely,

As soon as he walked out of the Flying Feather Palace, he stumbled and almost fell to the ground, but Ginkgo hurriedly stepped forward to support Ling Xi.

"Queen, what's wrong with you?" Ginkgo asked eagerly.

Ling Xi looked up at the round moon in the sky, she remembered that she had been in the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion, and for countless nights, she had been looking at the moon in the sky from afar by the railing, praying for Ye Muzhi's safe return. But now that her prayers are useless, there is going to be a war, can Ye Muzhi come back? Without saying a word, she walked towards the Jiaofang Palace.
