A group of majestic cavalrymen in bright armor escorted a large sedan chair and slowly moved along the southeast direction. In troubled times, the world was not very peaceful, bandits were rampant everywhere, and there were even some stragglers who were brave enough to cause trouble. It is said that bandits are like combs, and soldiers are like grates, so it can be seen that the harm of chaotic soldiers is worse than that of bandits. The Northwest Army is okay, the frontal battle is imminent, and the military law is strict, in general, it can be regarded as no crime in the autumn, but some of the remnants of the army that have been scattered, like a cat that smells fishy, the grain and grass in the northwest dare not be provoked, but some rich Zhuangzi has fallen into bad luck and has to build a village to protect himself, even so, there is still a village from time to time which village was broken by the chaotic army and killed the news of a river of blood.

At the moment, Xiao Jin is getting a headache from the more and more forbidden grain and grass, and he has no heart to care about these "little things" in his eyes, and his inaction has invisibly boosted the arrogance of these chaotic troops.

However, this team is different today, many bandits and rebels can be said to have fled, not only because there are 4,000 cavalry guards around the team, but more importantly, 3,000 cavalry have a black white tiger embroidered on the banner, and the other 1,000 cavalry has a white-headed eagle embroidered with wings ready to fly.

Tiger Battalion, the personal guard cavalry of Xiao Yu, the king of the northwest. Eagle Guard, the personal guard cavalry of the little prince Xiao Jin.

Coupled with the thirty-two sedan chairs that are extravagant to the extreme, it clearly tells everyone that the people here are the first-class nobles in the world.

Xiao Yu, the king of the northwest, was personally supervising the battle on the front line at this time, and there were only a handful of people besides Xiao Yu who could use the tiger camp, so the identity of the person in the sedan chair was about to come out.

In the sedan chair, Lin Yinping and Xiao Jin sat opposite each other. Lin Yinping's back was straight, and although he was wearing a heavy coat, it was still difficult to hide the peerless elegance of his figure. Although Xiao Jin is now a powerful minister in charge of one party, in the final analysis, he is still just a minor boy, slightly shorter than Lin Yinping, which makes Lin Yinping have a somewhat condescending taste.

Lin Yinping said softly: "Huaiyu, the reason why my sister-in-law invited you to go to the Eastern Capital with me is mainly because it involves the family affairs of the Xiao family, and you, as the male of the Xiao family, are not good to be absent, right?"

Xiao Jin, who originally bowed her head slightly, raised her head, and her eyes swept over her sister-in-law's face without a trace, her face lines were different from ordinary grassland women, more like a daughter's home from the Jiangnan territory, but there was no Jiangnan woman's point between her eyebrows, but after years of ups and downs of precipitation and polishing, she had a little more perseverance and fierceness, and became more and more graceful.

The current Lin Yinping is no longer the simple and kind princess Her Royal Highness at the beginning, there is no shortage of scheming skills, Xiao Jin has already suffered a big loss, the last time Xiao Yu was unconscious, he was careless, and he was directly placed under house arrest by this seemingly weak sister-in-law, since then, Xiao Jin has never dared to despise Lin Yinping every time he faces him.

He pondered it carefully before he slowly spoke: "What my sister-in-law said is extremely true. ”

Lin Yinping pulled up the curtains on the side, looked at the scenery outside, and seemed to be casually saying: "I heard the meaning of Mingguang's words before, my father-in-law is old, and I am willing to retire this time and retire to retire." ”

She turned her head to look at Xiao Jin and asked softly, "Huaiyu, what do you think?"

The more casual Lin Yinping was, the more Xiao Jin felt pressured.

He didn't look at Lin Yinping, lowered his eyes, "Father should indeed enjoy some blessings, as for these mundane things, my brother should do it for me, so that my brother can share his father's worries and fulfill his filial piety." ”

Lin Yinping smiled, bringing out a bit of the kindness of the eldest sister-in-law's mother, "Huaiyu, you are a sensible person, I am very relieved to have you by your side to help Mingguang." ”

Xiao Jin chuckled and lowered his head, his eyes deep.

――

Zhili Prefecture, Bohai Province.

With a loud bang, a section of the city wall of Bohai Mansion City was finally overwhelmed and collapsed after repeated bombardment by Zhongdu artillery.

A torrent of black cavalry rushed into the city along the gap.

Zhao Qing stood on the city gate tower and watched all this in silence.

Xu Hongru stood beside him and said softly, "I just got the news that Xiao Lie has been defeated." ”

Zhao Qing turned his head, the expression on his face was a little incredulous and a little expected, the two were intertwined, making his expression a little distorted.

He repeated in a slightly trembling voice, "Defeated?"

Xu Hongru sighed lightly and said, "Defeated, the sect leader saw it with his own eyes, and he can't fake it." ”

Zhao Qing seemed to cry and laugh, "Defeated, the master is defeated, I am also defeated, defeated." ”

Xu Hongru said: "Since you can't do anything, you still have to leave it to be useful, and then plan for the future." ”

Zhao Qing didn't speak, but covered his cheeks with both hands, gently rubbed his face, and after about a few breaths, his expression finally calmed down completely.

He said in a deep voice: "What Mr. Xu said is good, since Jiangbei has all fallen and the eastern capital has become an isolated city, then we don't need to waste time here, it is better to return to Jiangnan as soon as possible and rectify the river defense, in case Xiao Yu takes advantage of the situation to go south, as long as we can form a north-south confrontation, we may not have a chance to turn around." ”

Xu Hongru stretched out his hand to grab Zhao Qing's shoulders, and the next moment the figures of the two suddenly disappeared, escaping from the Bohai Mansion City, which was about to fall.

After many days of siege, the defenders of Bohai Mansion have already suffered heavy casualties and are exhausted, and now the most relied on city walls have been breached, and their main general Zhao Qing is nowhere to be seen, which makes the defenders of Bohai Mansion completely defeated at the same time as their morale, and there is no tragic street fighting, more or kneeling to surrender.

Although Wei Ban had a military order in front, after a period of siege and fighting, the Northwest Army, which had already killed red-eyed, still slaughtered many soldiers, and even caused several rebellions, which were then suppressed by a steady stream of Northwest Army, and it was not until Wei Ban entered the city that it slowly subsided.

Wei Ban rode on his horse, looked at the devastated Bohai Mansion, and sighed softly.

Bohai Mansion has been captured, then the next is the city of Zhilizhou, and then the towering eastern capital.

At the same time, whether it is Lanyu's Chinese army or Minxing's right army, under the influence of a large number of "people who know the times", they are all marching forward.

The eastern capital, the majestic imperial capital, will soon hear the sound of horses' hooves from the northwest.

――

Ouchi Fukanomiya.

A bad news came, which soaked the palace that had carried countless ups and downs, and the glory and disgrace with a layer of cold and biting frost.

The Jinluan Palace, which should have been a hundred officials, was empty, and the Jade Queen, who was dressed in the queen mother's dress, stood expressionlessly at the threshold.

Her delicate face, which was still charming, was already covered with tears, and she wore makeup and looked panicked.

Emperor Qin Xian stood beside her, held by her, looked up at the tears on his mother's face, and said timidly: "Queen Mother." ”

Empress Dowager Jade lowered her head and looked at her son, her eyes red, "This morning, someone saw the prime minister being carried into the prime minister's mansion, and he didn't know if he was alive or dead. ”

"The prime minister is defeated, Xiao Yu is coming. ”

When Qin Xian heard this name, he suddenly shuddered, and in this late spring season, he actually felt the biting coldness of the cold winter.

His face was full of panic that could not be concealed.

Others don't know, but he knows, and his father died at the hands of this person.

His father died, his father was defeated, and his uncle Qin Quan, who was incompatible with him, is now nowhere to be found.

But what could he do?

He, the titular Ninety-Five Supreme, couldn't even escape from the Eastern Capital, so he could only wait to die, or live humiliatingly at Xiao Yu's feet.

On the square outside the main hall.

Ironclad Sensen.

Xiao Gongyu is wearing armor and saber, surrounded by the stars and moons of his henchmen, and he is full of spirit.

He looked at this hall, which represented the supreme power of Da Zheng, and the corners of his mouth curled up with a smile that could not be concealed.

He was already imagining how he would be rewarded in the future.

As a member of the Xiao family, it is not enough to be a prince of the country, the most important thing is the king of the county.

Now, it's time for the king of the northwest to enter Beijing.
