Summer Palace.

Inside the Yongning Palace.

Li Zhongxian hurriedly came to the hall and bowed, "Queen Mother, something is wrong." ”

Empress Dowager He put away the letter in her hand and said slowly: "Why is it so panicked. ”

Li Zhongxian informed the Queen Mother of the news that the crown prince had ordered the reduction of the palace attendants, and the latter's face changed suddenly, "Ye Xuan, this is going to do something to the mourning family." ”

Three hundred dead men were killed, and the remaining seven hundred were hidden.

Now Ye Xuan is cutting the palace attendants to expel the hidden seven hundred dead soldiers from the inner palace, and her deployment for many years will be destroyed by Ye Xuan.

"Zhongxian, be sure to let the palaces keep our people."

Li Zhongxian said: "Queen Mother, Gao Ying is in charge of this matter, the old slave is afraid that the prince has already deployed everything, that is, he wants to take the opportunity to get rid of our seven hundred dead soldiers, if the old slave intervenes in this matter, it will expose them." ”

Mrs. He's face sank, "After all, it's still a step too late, the news just came from the alliance, and they arrived in Chang'an ten days later, but Ye Xuan didn't leave the mourning family for the last ten days." ”

"Queen Mother, the dead may not be saved, and it may not be a bad thing to let them out of the palace, at least the Queen Mother is safe." Li Zhongxian said in a deep voice, "However, the old slave still has something to report, which should be helpful to the Queen Mother's deployment." ”

"Tell me about it."

"Queen Mother, two months have passed, Your Majesty has a demon brand poison tattoo on his body, but he is safe, the old slave learned from the mouth of the maid of the Heart Cultivation Palace, Your Majesty's body has recovered a lot, this is an opportunity for us."

Empress Dowager He nodded, "That's true, it seems that the mourning family is going to go to the Heart Cultivation Hall in person." ”

Speaking of this, she paused and continued: "The people from the alliance are coming, and it happens to be the birthday of the mourning family, and then they can enter the palace justifiably. ”

Li Zhongxian said: "On the birthday of the Queen Mother, Yongning Palace needs a lot of manpower and a lot of things to buy, and when the time comes, the old slave can let the dead soldiers who left the palace enter the palace again." ”

"No matter how powerful the prince is, he can't count it as if we will do something to them on their birthday."

Empress Dowager He got up, "Swing and nourish the heart." ”

........

Outside the Heart Cultivation Palace.

When the chamberlain saw the queen mother coming, before he could speak, he saw Li Zhongxian's eyes, and the chamberlain bowed slightly, and hurriedly got up and left.

The Queen Mother pushed the door into the hall, and her eyes fell on the dragon couch, "Emperor, the mourning family has come to see you." ”

Emperor Xia had already noticed their arrival, and when he followed the sound, he said in a weak voice: "The mother is behind." ”

In fact, Empress Dowager He was not Emperor Xia's biological mother at all, Emperor Xia's biological mother died in childbirth, and Emperor Xian handed over Emperor Xia to Empress Dowager He to raise, which is no secret in the palace at all.

After Emperor Xia ascended the throne, Empress Dowager He's natural mother became the queen mother of the Great Xia Empire, and she once listened to the government for a period of time, and only handed over the imperial power to Emperor Xia in the tenth year of the Great Xia Xuanli calendar.

So much so that Emperor Xia has always been a little afraid of this queen mother, when he knew that she was a member of the Kyushu League, Emperor Xia was not the slightest surprise, a woman who was extremely hungry for power, it was not surprising that she did anything.

"Mother is back, and Shu Erchen can't get up and salute."

Empress Dowager He said: "The emperor doesn't have to be polite, the queen mother just came to see you, and when she saw that you recovered a little, the queen mother's hanging heart finally fell." ”

Emperor Xia said: "Let the queen mother worry." ”

Empress Dowager He said: "Emperor, during this period of eventful autumn in Great Xia, the mourning family has found someone to calculate, this is a sign of the decline of the country. However, the mourners have found a way to crack it. ”

"In a while, it will be the birthday of the mourning family, the mourning family is ready to do a big job, to remove bad luck for the empire, and then the master will also enter the palace, just so that he can expel the toxins in the emperor's body."

Emperor Xia was stunned, "The sons almost forgot the birthday of the queen mother, and this year the sons and daughters couldn't prepare for the queen mother, so they followed the words of the queen mother." ”

A touch of cunning crossed the depths of Empress Dowager He's eyes, "Seeing that the emperor is in good health, the queen mother is relieved, you can rest well!" ”

After exiting the Heart Cultivation Palace, they left quickly, and after about a stick of incense, Emperor Xia ordered the chamberlain to inform Ye Xuan and let him come to the Heart Cultivation Palace.

...........

Lieyang Pass.

This was the closest pass to Xiayang City, but the defenders had withdrawn a month earlier.

Lu Bu led the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry to camp at Lieyang Pass, and according to the scout's report, the Northern Barbarian army would not come to Lieyang Pass, but drove straight into Xiayang City. In this way, the Northern Barbarian army will pass by the side of Lieyang Pass.

This is also the reason why Lu Bu is stationed here.

The most dangerous place is safe, and if the Northern Barbarian army finds out that they are stationed at Lieyang Pass, there is a risk of being surrounded. If they hadn't been discovered, they would have had a chance, like an unsheathed divine soldier, to split the Northern Barbarian army in two.

Let them ignore each other, and hit them hard in the shortest possible time, even if they want to withdraw, the Blazing Sun Valley behind them is the best choice.

The scout galloped over, appeared in the pass, and reined in the horse, "General, the Northern Barbarian Front Army has approached Xiayang City. ”

Lu Bufei jumped on horseback, holding Fang Tian's halberd, silver robe and white armor, majestic on all sides, "Get on the horse, follow the general to kill the enemy!" ”

At the sound of an order, three thousand snow dragons appeared on horseback, and they rushed over from the Blazing Sun Pass like a flood of breaking the embankment, like a fierce tiger out of the gate, with an unstoppable momentum.

The Northern Barbarian soldiers and horses marched very slowly, and no one in the Xia army could stop them along the way, so that the generals led by them thought that Xiayang City was also the same, and it would soon be broken by them.

"General, this Daxia woman is just good, her skin is white and beautiful, and she has a lot of water."

"Beauty is matched with heroes, there are many beauties in Xiayang City, take this city, take all the women away, and reward the three armies." Yu Wenhong, the general of the Northern Barbarians, said in a deep voice, "Send an order to General Tuoba to ask his elephant army to speed up, otherwise he won't be able to eat a mouthful of hot food after entering the city." ”

"Beauty, Ben will be in the bag."

As the words fell, a tremor came from the ground, as if it would collapse at any time, Yu Wenhong looked puzzled, and asked in a loud voice: "Where did the sound of horses' hooves come from?" ”

He followed the sound and found Lu Bu's department, and sneered, "Such a small number of people also want to sneak attack the army, General Xia is really naïve." Leave them alone, let's move on, Xia Yang City is ahead. ”

"General, what about this Xia army!"

"There is General Tuoba's weevil army, what are you worried about?"

Yuwen Hongyun was light and light, and he didn't put the big snow dragon cavalry in his eyes at all, Tuoba Zhan commanded 50,000 elephant armor troops, all of which were heavy cavalry with one enemy and one hundred, but the Xia army saw that the number was less than 5,000, so they were sure they weren't here to be funny?

Xia Yang City was close at hand, and that was his goal.

This moment.

Tuoba Zhan watched the three thousand snow dragon riders rushing over and slaughtered, with a playful expression, "The Xia army is here to die again!" ”

But the next scene directly made him stunned, and he was instantly stupid.
