March.

The red apricots are scorching, the drizzle is hazy, the willows are clinging, and the breeze is blowing.

Yanbei Mansion.

Next to the small bridge in the stream, the flag flutters in the wind.

The tent of the rebels.

The warblers are singing, the swallows are flying, the butterflies are in a hurry, and there is a great spring.

However.

At this moment, the generals who participated in the "Qingjun Side" had no time to enjoy the beautiful scenery.

One by one, they were full of hearts and walked towards the manager's tent with heavy steps.

When the curtain was lifted, the first thing I saw was Her Royal Highness the eldest princess with a cold expression.

"Meet Your Highness!"

Everyone saluted in unison and took their seats.

Yanbei commander Zhao Xuanfeng looked at the first "Li Invite Yue" and hesitated:

"Your Highness, there is news from the capital that Your Majesty has appointed Zhennan General Shan Xin as the main general, commanding an army of 200,000 and going south to quell the rebellion.

In half a month at most, the 200,000 troops will reach Jiannan Road. ”

The geographical area of the Zhou State was relatively small, and the division was different from the three levels of prefecture (prefecture), county, and county of the Qianguo State, and there were only two levels, the province and the prefecture.

There are a total of sixteen provinces in the entire Zhou Kingdom, one of which has seven or eight provinces, and more than a dozen provinces.

Jiannan Province is located to the north of Yanbei Province and has a small area, with only seven provinces.

But all seven prefectures responded to the call of the Qing monarch and formed a rebel army under the command of Ying Ning, the observation envoy.

Among the many rebel armies, the rebel army led by Ying Ning was the closest to the Jinnan Mansion of Zhou Guojing.

The imperial court is determined to quell the rebellion, and the first target is naturally them!

But.

Dead lips and cold teeth.

When the imperial court destroys the rebel army of Jiannan Dao, the next target must be them!

Even if their nominal leader is Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, and the banner has been changed from the side of the Qing monarch to the king of Qin, the essence of the rebellion will not change.

If the imperial court really defeated the rebels easily.

Your Majesty, out of many considerations, may spare the life of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, but these commanders may not be necessarily.

That's why.

The people in the tent were all worried, and sighed for a long time.

Qing'er sat in the first seat, looked around with cold eyes, and didn't pay attention to Zhao Xuanfeng, but said coldly:

"An hour later, Bai Qihui of the Qianguo will lead 30,000 soldiers to Yanbei Mansion, and you will go with the palace to greet you."

The voice fell.

Everyone looked at each other, lowered their voices, and began to discuss.

"Where did this white qi come from, and why have I never heard of it before?"

"Qianguo wants to get involved in the land of my Great Zhou, so he only sent a nobody."

"It's just a nobody, there are only 30,000 troops, they are really easy to bully in my Great Zhou court."

"Hey...... Either way, it's reinforcements, and it's better to have than nothing. ”

"We and the other soldiers have a total of 30,000 men, plus the 30,000 men of the Qianguo, we should be able to resist for a while longer.

As long as it can form a stalemate with the imperial court, it will have the capital to negotiate. ”

"This is reasonable......

Qing'er glanced at the whispering crowd, her eyebrows frowned slightly, but she didn't say anything, just said, "After an hour, gather outside the tent and retreat!" ”

"Yes! Your Highness! ”

The people stood up and saluted, and turned to leave.

A moment later.

Qing'er was the only one left in the tent.

She sat in her seat, staring ahead in a daze, and her mind couldn't help but think about it.

A tragic picture appeared in her mind, making her heart throb.

"Your Highness, hold on! One day, the slave will save you! ”

............

An hour later.

On the official road outside Yanbei Mansion.

Everything revives, and the breeze blows.

Qing'er, who was wearing a long ink-colored dress, stood in place, her pretty face was like frost, and her black hair hung down her waist, fluttering slightly in the wind.

Behind.

Five commanders and six prefects stood in a row, with mixed feelings.

In any case, they were all officials of the Zhou State, but now they were welcoming the army of the Qianguo State.

Although it was a last resort, I still felt a little ashamed.

Time passes.

Smoke and dust gradually rose at the end of the official road.

The sound of neat footsteps was like a drumbeat, smashing on everyone's hearts.

This was followed by the neighing of war horses, giving people a sense of slaughter.

I haven't seen anyone yet, but I already feel the majestic momentum.

The crowd looked up.

The end of sight.

Smoke and dust shrouded.

I can barely see the banner of the hunt.

A moment later.

They could finally see the visitors at the end.

It's a moving castle.

The whole body is covered in armor.

There are only two eyes, and they glow in a deep light.

"Xuanjia cavalry!"

These four words popped up involuntarily in everyone's minds.

As early as half a year ago, they heard about this terrible cavalry.

This is the private soldier that the prime minister of Qianguo has hidden for several years, and each of them is an absolute elite.

Charge up better than Tiger Benwei!

It is even rumored that the combat effectiveness of this heavy cavalry is not weaker than that of the Great Yan Dragoon of the Yan Kingdom!

However, the number of people is a bit small, it is said that there are only 3,000 people.

"I didn't expect that these 30,000 people even included Xuanjia cavalry."

"If all the 3,000 Xuanjia cavalry come, unless the imperial court sends a tiger army, even if there are really 200,000 troops, we can stop it!"

Everyone looked at these tower-like cavalry, and their eyes showed excitement.

I suddenly felt that it was not a bad thing for people to invade.

After all, what they committed was a great crime of rebellion, and if they were caught by the imperial court, they would definitely be punished with death.

It's a different story.

If the cadres can occupy the capital division, these people have the merit of following the dragon, and maybe they can even mix up a half-official position and rank among the princes.

Think so.

The Xuanjia cavalry had already arrived.

At the forefront was a tall and tall general.

He turned over and dismounted, strode to Qing'er, and bowed:

"The last general, Gao Shun, has seen Madame!"

The word "madam" came out.

The faces of the commanders and prefects changed in unison, but they quickly returned to normal.

Obviously, this situation was expected.

Qing'er stared at Gao Shun and asked, "Where is General Bai?" ”

Gao Shun replied, "It's still to come." ”

Qing'er nodded, and said coldly: "The camp of the five armies has been built, and the palace will send someone to lead you over." ”

Gao Shun arched his hand and said, "Mrs. Xie! ”

Qing'er turned to look at one of the shadow guards and gave him a look.

Then, lead the crowd out of the way.

The shadow guard saluted, turned over his horse, and walked towards the camp with Gao Shun.

The Xuanjia cavalry followed.

Everyone watched as the Xuanjia cavalry disappeared from sight.

Looking ahead again, it becomes an ordinary infantryman.

They wore uniform gray attire and wore hats.

Holding a firestick several feet long in his hand, he walked in a uniform pace, constantly advancing.

The expressions are extremely resolute.

When everyone saw their outfits, they were slightly stunned, and then their expressions became a little strange.

"What's the situation with these guys, they don't even have light armor, and when they get to the battlefield, won't they become fish belly for others to slaughter?"

"The weapon in my hand is strange enough, the gun is not like a gun, the knife is not like a knife, but it is somewhat similar to a burning stick."

"Could it be that the prime minister of Qianguo used all the silver on the Xuanjia cavalry, so these infantry can only use this kind of weapon?"

"The marching action is not bad, a bit of an elite look, but it's a pity that this kind of equipment can only be sent to death when it goes to the battlefield."

Everyone looked at the infantry in front of them and talked about it.

Qing'er saw the scene in front of her, her face was expressionless, but her heart was the same as everyone's thoughts.

sighed inwardly.

She didn't understand.

The prime minister of Qianguo, that dog thief, why did he send such an army to Zhou to die.

It's just inexplicable.

Thinking like this, I saw behind the infantry, and trolleys suddenly appeared.

was stunned for a moment, and then finally couldn't help it, twitching the corners of his mouth.

She really couldn't figure it out.

What's the point of putting an iron bucket on the trolley.

It's not just her.

When the commander and the prefect saw the cart, they all looked dazed, wondering what it was.

That's when it happened.

Several horses galloped from afar.

Stop steadily.

A man with gray hair and light armor turned over and dismounted, walked in front of Qing'er, and saluted.

"The last general is white, I have seen Madame!"

When they heard this, they turned all their attention to him.

I looked up and down, and my expression changed.

The man in front of him is not very tall, and at first glance it seems to be ordinary.

However, just by looking at it more, you can feel that he exudes an indescribable temperament all over his body!

It is the unique temperament of a battle-hardened and weather-beaten general!

It's obviously a warm spring.

Far away, he could feel a chill emanating from his body.

The murderous aura is intense, almost condensed into substance!

Everyone looked at Bai Qi, and a chill rose in their hearts, and a thought involuntarily rose: How many people do you have to kill to develop such a temperament!

The little contempt in my heart disappeared in an instant.

As Li Yinyue's eyes and ears.

Qing'er has also killed people, so she can naturally feel Bai Qi's unusualness.

She stared at Bai Qi, and said coldly:

"General Bai has come from afar, rest for a day first, and at noon tomorrow, discuss how to deal with the 200,000 troops of the imperial court."

Bai Qi did not agree, but took out a letter from his arms, presented it with both hands, and said: "The last general is ordered by the prime minister, as the chief general, to take over the 30,000 soldiers under his wife. ”

As soon as this remark came out.

The commanders and prefects were stunned, and then showed annoyance.

On the first day of Bai Qi's arrival, he actually wanted to move their soldiers, which was too rampant!

Even if they are generals, they can't do this to them!

Several commanders looked at Bai Qi and opened their mouths, wanting to say something.

But seeing that the eldest princess didn't speak, she endured it.

Fang Xiu's order, Qing'er naturally had no way to control it.

She reached out and took the letter, and wanted to pretend to look at it for a while before agreeing directly.

However, see what the letter says.

But the expression changed.

First in a trance, then in annoyance, then in a tangle.

The letter was about the reorganization of the 30,000 soldiers of the guard.

Of the 30,000 people, 10,000 were selected and incorporated into Bai Qi's troops.

Another 20,000 people, unloaded with equipment, served as a logistics unit, responsible for building fortifications and transporting grain and grass.

Anyway.

The 30,000 people in the guard station are not weak in combat power, and only 10,000 people are left, which is a bit too much!

You must know that the counterinsurgency army sent by the imperial court is 200,000.

The 30,000 people in the guard house are not enough.

At present, 20,000 people have been abolished......

Time.

Qing'er really couldn't understand the purpose of doing this, looked at Bai Qi, and said:

"General Bai, in the eyes of this palace, the combat power of the guard is not weaker than the five military camps of the Qianguo, is it a little inappropriate to dismiss 20,000 people."

The voice fell.

The crowd's expressions became even more annoyed.

"There are only 30,000 people in total, and 20,000 people are dismissed! That's a! ”

"The army sent by the imperial court is full of 200,000 people, and those rabble who don't even have armor and weapons are ready to fight!"

The crowd did not hide their dissatisfaction and spoke one after another.

Bai Qi glanced at them, his eyes full of coldness.

When everyone saw this scene, their hearts trembled, but they did not give in and looked at each other.

Bai Qi retracted his gaze, looked at Qing'er, and said coldly:

"This is the Prime Minister's order, if the lady has any objections, she can write to the Prime Minister."

After speaking, he no longer paid attention to Qing'er, but looked at the commanders and prefects, and said coldly with a cold tone: "If the generals want to stay in the army and continue to lead their troops, this general has no objection.

It's just that the generals must understand that there is only one main general in this army! A command! One sound!

Whether you can fight or not, how to fight, this is what this general needs to consider, and the generals just need to do their part! ”

Speaking of this, he paused, slowed down a bit, and continued:

"If you don't want to, the Prime Minister will prepare 10,000 taels of silver for the generals, and allow the generals to return to their hometowns."

When the people heard this, they wanted to say something.

But thinking of the poison of the broken intestines in his body, as well as the family members who were raised in captivity by Tang Yixue, they all fell silent.

As early as half a year ago, the moment they decided to obey Tang Yixue, they had no choice.

Now there is still a chance to lead the troops, which is not easy.

That's it.

Although everyone was unwilling, they still arched their hands and said no more.

Seeing this, Bai Qi looked at Qing'er, and said:

"In the next few days, I also ask my wife to bother and reorganize the guards of the guard according to the instructions of the prime minister."

Qing'er glanced at her and nodded expressionlessly.

Bai Qi saluted and said, "The last general will retire!" ”

After speaking, he turned over his horse, led a few guards, and left here.

Qing'er stood in place, looking at his back, silent for a long time, and turned into a sigh in her heart.

I thought that this Bai Qi had been on the battlefield for a long time and could lead these 60,000 people to resist the 200,000 army of the imperial court.

Now, it seems that it is not necessarily.

I only hope that the army under the command of Bai Qi can hold on for a little longer.

Otherwise, the dog thief of the Prime Minister of Qianguo will definitely be angry with Her Royal Highness the eldest princess.

I don't know how Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is doing in Xiangguo Mansion.

After the beginning of spring, the weather eased a bit.

Even if the dog thief doesn't give His Highness clothes.

Your Highness should be able to feel better.

That's it.

Qing'er's heart began to throb again, and she silently prayed for Li Yingyue.

There is only one thought in my mind:

Your Highness, you must hold on!

............

Chang'an, Xiangguo Mansion.

Wearing an ink-colored long skirt, Li Yingyue, who has a beautiful face, stood in the courtyard.

The pretty face is like a flower, and it is as cold as frost.

The cold eyes looked at the trees that gave off the buds, and the light in his eyes did not fluctuate at all, as if there was no emotion.

"Ma'am, it's time to eat."

Peach brought the delicate dishes and said softly with a gentle smile on her face.

Li Yingyue turned around and looked at her, with a ghostly light in her eyes, and said slowly:

"This palace wants to see Fang Xiu."

Tao'er has been serving Li Yingyue for a while, and it is the first time she has seen her take the initiative to speak.

Slightly stunned, he hurriedly said:

"Madame, is there something wrong? Is it convenient to talk to the slave first? ”

Li Yingyue's cold eyes stared at her and did not speak.

Seeing this, Tao'er didn't ask any more questions, and said, "The slave and maid go and tell the master, madam, you eat first." ”

With that, he put the delicate dishes on the table in the room and turned to leave the courtyard.

A moment later.

Fang Xiu looked at the peach in front of him and asked, "Why does she want to see her true appearance?" ”

Tao'er shook her head: "Madame didn't say it. ”

Fang Xiu nodded, waved his hand and said, "Got it, go down." ”

"Yes, sir."

Momo turned to leave.

Fang Xiu looked at her back, his eyes flickering.

For such a long time, Li Yingyue took the initiative to see her for the first time, and she didn't know what she wanted to do.

After staying in Xiangguo's Mansion for so long, hasn't she given up the idea of escaping here?

She shouldn't be so naïve, right?

I thought about it for a moment.

Fang Xiu still decided to take a look.

After all, she has been locked up for so long, and she has already used any means, and she will not stay until now.

With that in mind, he walked towards the courtyard next door.

In the yard.

Li Yingyue stood under the tree, her tall figure was a little eye-catching.

Wearing an ink-colored long dress, her snow-like skin looks fairer.

The long silky hair is not coiled up and falls down to the waist, which has a different kind of beauty.

She was as beautiful and touching as before, as cold as an ice cellar.

Fang Xiu walked up to her, with a gentle smile on his face, and called softly:

"Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess."

Li Yingyue turned her head to look at Fang Xiu, her expression was as cold as ever, and she said coldly:

"This palace wants to make a deal with you."

Fang Xiu was slightly stunned, making sure that she was not joking with herself, she couldn't help but chuckle lightly, and asked, "What else does Your Highness think you can make a deal with your true appearance?" ”

Speaking of this, he glanced her up and down, and said:

"Speaking of which, His Highness's posture and appearance are indeed good bargaining chips, but it's just ......"

"I'm not interested."

The contempt revealed by Fang Xiu.

Li Yingyue didn't take it to heart, but said:

"There is a door somewhere in Kunlun Mountain, and it is rumored that whoever can find and open it will gain the power to dominate the world......"

When Fang Xiu heard this, he was stunned at first, and then his expression became a little strange, and he said:

"Did Your Highness peek at the Heaven and Dragon Slayer?"

There is a similar statement in the Legend of Heaven and Dragon Slayer.

Those who rely on the heavenly sword and the dragon slaying sword will win the world.

Li Yingyue's eyes showed a look of confusion, and she asked, "What is it...... Heaven and Dragon Slayer? ”

The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Slayer has always been placed in Daji's place, and it has not been published yet, so it is impossible for Li Yinyue to read it.

Fang Xiu waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, Your Highness continued." ”

Li Yinyue was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "That door is real, and this palace has seen it with your own eyes. ”

“......”

Fang Xiu was a little speechless, and a little helpless.

After a while, he said, "Your Highness doesn't want to use the position of that door in exchange for freedom, right?" ”

Li Yingyue did not speak, and her expression was neither happy nor sad.

Apparently that's what she thought.

Fang Xiu sighed helplessly and said, "Your Highness thinks that if you make up a story casually, you will believe it?" ”

Even if she says that there is a million taels of silver buried somewhere.

It's also more reliable than this.

Li Yingyue's cold eyes looked at Fang Xiu and said:

"Hongu never bothers to make up lies."

Fang Xiu raised his eyebrows and said, "Your Highness is afraid that he has forgotten why he was locked up here." ”

If it weren't for Li Yinyue, she would have made a stand-in as soon as she came up, and the lake would have repaired it.

Fang Xiu wouldn't have taken her down so decisively.

“......”

Li Yingyue was slightly stunned and fell silent.

Fang Xiu looked at her and said, "The prime minister might as well tell His Highness that if nothing happens, His Highness will be in this small courtyard for the rest of his life."

If His Royal Highness feels really bored, in addition to giving you some scripts to relieve your boredom, he can also provide you with pen, ink, paper and inkstones, so that you can write a script by yourself.

The story just now is good, but it's a little naïve, so you still have to think about it more, otherwise it will make people feel ridiculous when you watch it. ”

After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.

This time.

Li Yingyue suddenly took out an object from her arms, put it in the palm of her hand, and said coldly:

"This thing was found in front of that door, and it's the only one of its kind in the world."
