In an instant, her hairs stood on end, and a picture flashed through her mind.

The man in a white robe, with a handsome face, a sharp look between his eyebrows, a cold body, and an extremely powerful aura, stood at the door so abruptly.

But when she opened her eyes again, there was no one else at the door except Hua Zhi.

"Qi Niang, Qi Niang, what's wrong with you?" Shadow suddenly patted her on the shoulder, and couldn't help but ask.

Lu Zhaoyi shook her head lightly, right now she is talking about marriage with Xia Pei, and when she performs the six rites, she dares to meet her future husband and brother in private, which is not in line with the etiquette.

At this moment, King Han came over at this time, I was afraid that something was wrong, but she should not show up.

"Shadow Spirit, Zhiyun, you go, send people away......

"Who are you sending?"

"King Han! Right outside the door." With these words, she turned and walked down the hall.

"What?!" Shadow Spirit and Qu Zhiyun exclaimed at the same time, and then hurriedly chased after Lu Zhaoyi, "Qi Niang, you said that King Han is outside the door?"

Lu Zhaoyi didn't reply, "Yes, King Han is outside the door."

"How dare he come? Do you still think that when you were in Chang'an, you didn't hurt Qi Niang badly enough?" The Shadow Spirit was indignant, turned around, and rushed out.

"This ......," Qu Zhiyun tilted her head stupidly, "Sister Shadow Spirit has a hot temper, wouldn't it be bad if she really offended King Han?"

"Don't worry, the more trouble she makes at this time, the happier Your Majesty will be......

"What kind of logic is this?"

Seeing her dazed, this provoked Lu Zhaoyi sneered, couldn't help but stretch out a finger and tap her forehead, and said with a smile, "You...... I don't understand the ...... of men."

"You know men." She hung her head and muttered.

Lu Zhaoyi rolled his eyes speechlessly, didn't explain much, and instead sat down and poured tea, but he was still thinking about it in his heart.

She couldn't go out, but she couldn't hide from the Han King.

She knew the temperament of the Han King, and since she dared to come, she would definitely have a plan.

She had guessed the purpose of his trip, but she would not have agreed to him.

About an hour later, Du Yu and Zhang Youzhi came back from outside, and at the beginning of entering the door, Du Yu looked surprised, and turned back from time to time, and went straight to the hall, only to change his face.

Here, a room full of people are waiting for Du Yu's arrival.

"People outside, let's not care about him, we have important matters to discuss right now......" Lu Zhaoyi looked around, and noticed that there were a few people missing, so he asked, "What about Xue Cifeng, Ying Xue, and Wu Shengjia?" Why don't you see them?"

Hearing this, Wei Meng was stunned and took a step forward, "Back to Qi Niang, Wu Shengjia said that there is something in Tangkou that he needs to go back to deal with it, and Shadow Snow Lady also followed. As for Xue Gongzi...... My subordinates don't know ......."

Could it be that Xue Cifeng slipped away to the palace to see Xia Pei?

"Forget it! Leave them alone! Let's get started!" Lu Zhaoyi waved his hand and motioned for them to continue.

Then, I saw Hua Zhi walking in with a bowl of medicine, looking worried, "Qi Niang, the medicine is boiled, can you take it quickly?"

She took the medicine bowl, picked up the spoon and drank it in one gulp, while leading a room full of people to discuss military politics.

"Xia Yuanhou of the Left Route Army has broken through the defense and went straight to Gaoque Pass......

After that, on the sand table in the hall, someone had already picked up a flag like a chess piece and poked it on a mountain.

There, in fact, corresponds to the gateway to the state, Gaoque Pass, once you pass this pass, to the north is the desert.

But this point, in Lu Zhaoyi's view, is still far from enough.

"On the second day of the first month of this month, the Great Sima Xia Yuansheng led 30,000 cavalry, raided Wuyuan, destroyed 10,000 enemies, captured 8,000, and took the city to resist Manyi Valley...... At this point, the lost territory in the northern part of the state has been recaptured!"

A soft wattle lightly opened, covering the tea cup on the table, Lu Zhaoyi picked it up and took a sip, and his thoughts withdrew, "How is the progress of the west? The Hedong Army led by General Wu should have been stationed in Pingding City south of Guluo City for a long time, right?"

And the western part of the state, Guluo, Guangyan, Dacheng and other places, in

There is still a blue flag on the sand table, and in the north, east, and south directions, there is a red flag.

Red, on behalf of the abyss, is the soldiers and horses of the Great Abyss. Z.br>

In addition to the main force of the Tuoba tribe withdrawing from the city and returning to the desert, there was also the Murong tribe that invaded Yongzhou a few months ago and fled here to recuperate.

Although they are already defeated, they are still their combat effectiveness that cannot be ignored.

"The main force of the Yuwen Department, it seems that it hasn't appeared for three months? Is there any news?"

Hearing this, everyone looked at one person.

The man, thin and sallow-skinned, looked panicked at the moment.

"Go back, go back to Qi Niang...... We, the Jinyang branch of Piaoxue Building, did not look for it in the territory, and found it, the main force of the Yuwen Department." The man said with difficulty, and then breathed a sigh of relief, "The spy network spies are outside the Manyi Valley, and they have seen about 20,000 horses and horses moving frequently, maybe it has something to do with the Yuwen Department!"

Lu Zhaoyi's brows furrowed, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

She remembered clearly that two months ago, at her suggestion, she proposed to Xia Pei that the people who were secretly spying on the situation disguise themselves as a merchant group, and set off from Jinyang, the capital of Bingzhou, in the direction of Yunzhong County.

After arriving in Yunzhong and Wuyuan counties, they still showed themselves as merchant groups, and secretly, they have also been looking for traces of the Yuwen Department, but so far they have not gained anything.

Why did all of a sudden, the main force of the Yuwen Department appear again?

"This matter, put aside for the time being, you continue to observe the actions of the main force of the Yuwen Ministry, if they make any more moves, be sure to report it to the nearest Da Sima immediately!" After Lu Zhaoyi finished speaking, he ordered to go down.

"Yes!"

"Also, Your Majesty intends to recover Guluo City, judging from the opponent's strength, Tuoba and Murong have a total of 60,000 cavalry, and Guangyan and Dacheng are likely to have other main forces to support. These days, you have deliberated and deduced together, and have you made progress?" After Lu Zhaoyi finished speaking, his eyes swept towards everyone present, and his eyes were full of coldness.

The crowd exchanged glances with each other and whispered to each other, and then they pushed Willon out.

But seeing that Wei Meng was at a loss, he stood there stunned for a long time before calming down.

"Hui Qi Niang, we all agree that the terrain around Guluo City is high, and there are river valleys, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, which is not conducive to cavalry tactics, and is more suitable for tug-of-war than for attrition. If you want to attack, I am afraid that you will suffer heavy casualties."

"Well, go on." Lu Zhaoyi bowed.

"The most effective way is for General Wen Wei to lead the troops to respond, contain the right flank, attract the attention of the other side, and preferably lead out of the mountains. And then the Ukrainian general will attack on the left, with the advantage of spearmen, storm Guluo City, break through the city, and occupy a dangerous place, and the enemy army will not have a chance to rush to the aid of Guluo."

After speaking, everyone was silent for a while, and Lu Zhaoyi also lowered his head and thought for a long time, without saying a word.

"What do you think are the odds of winning?" I don't know how long it took, Lu Zhaoyi suddenly asked.

"Qi Niang, we agree that it is only sixty percent at most."

"Sixty percent ......" Lu Zhaoyi frowned.

As for the current situation in the state, the war has been going on for nearly a year, and in this year, the two sides have won and lost each other, and in the vicinity of Guluo City, there have been several battles, all of which have missed the opportunity to recover due to the difficult terrain.

For the Yuan army, for many years, under the melee in the Central Plains, it has always been good at surprise attacks, or to end the war with the suppression of lightning with troops, but now under the consumption of a year, the army's spirit has long been shaken, and it is in urgent need of a crushing battle to re-arouse the faith of the soldiers.

Nagu Luo City is the most suitable.

"Well, I know about it. I will also present the results of your deliberations to Your Majesty." Lu Zhaoyi stopped and said.

After that, they played war games together and discussed other important matters, and it was not until dusk, as the sun went down, that they ended their deliberations for the day.

Then, the crowd gradually dispersed. And in the hall, there was only one person, with an anxious look on his face, against the crowd, towards the first place.

"Huazhi, what else do you have to do?"

This person is the flower branch.

"Qi Niang

。 It's almost night, it's almost curfew outside the square, and the gate inside the square is about to close. But, King Kehan, it's still outside......" she said, with a sad look on her face.

Hearing this, Lu Zhaoyi frowned slightly, glanced up at the window, and glanced at the hour.

After a moment, she thought of an idea, raised her eyes and said to Huazhi, "You go out and spread the word to King Han. Later, I went to the palace to see the Queen Mother, and if he had anything to say to me, I would make it clear in front of the Queen Mother. When you have finished speaking, go and prepare your carriage and horses, and park them at the side gate."

"Yes." Huazhi agreed, turned and retreated.

After she left, Lu Zhaoyi asked people to prepare hot water, took a bath, and then changed their clothes and went out.

When she came out, it was already dark, and the night wind blew her mind more and more clearly.

Luojing curfew, because Lu Zhaoyi is pregnant with a token given by the Queen Mother, which allows her to travel freely at night.

As soon as you get out of Yongping Lifang, you can go straight on the street, and you don't need to go far to the main gate of the palace, but take the harem long live gate to enter the palace.

At this time, it is not yet the first watch.

When Lu Zhaoyi arrived at Yongshou Palace, he happened to meet Xia Sheng, the king of cold, and knelt down at the knees of the Queen Mother.

"Qi Niang see the Queen Mother."

When Empress Dowager Pu heard the prestige, her eyes were a little surprised, "Qi Niang, how do you remember to come to see Yu today?"

Lu Zhaoyi smiled very tactfully, "I just happened to be free today, so I came to visit the Queen Mother."

Empress Dowager Pu was speechless and sighed: "My eldest son is too, you are going to become the daughter-in-law of the Xia family, and you will be given an official position, how can there be a queen in this world who is still in charge of court affairs?"

"After all, my marriage with Your Majesty will be calculated according to the official of ceremonies, and it will take at least more than a year to complete the six ceremonies." Lu Zhaoyi said with a smile.

"You......" Empress Dowager Pu shook her head helplessly, "Originally, it was also a career path, if you want to take care of it, just take care of it, but I heard that there are many ministers in the court who are dissatisfied with you, don't grieve yourself."

"Qi Niang remembered." She smiled softly.

Xia Sheng listened on the side, his face was black the whole time, he didn't say a word, and his brows were even more furrowed.

Lu Zhaoyi's eyes didn't look at Xia Sheng from beginning to end, because she knew that he needed time to react.

When she returned to Luojing three months ago, the first person she saw was actually the fifth Langya, and asked if it was he who proposed the marriage to the Queen Mother.

But the fifth was closed, she could only enter the palace directly and make her attitude clear to the Queen Mother.

And when she saw the Empress Dowager Pu at that time, she found that the Empress Dowager didn't say anything, only handed her a letter.

She guessed correctly, it was the fifth Langya who asked the Queen Mother to hand it over to her.

The above meaning is also simple, to bring down the Shi clan, you can't do it without the help of the Queen Mother.

At this point, she also understood the fifth mind, and it was exactly the same as her own thinking before.

But she can't make up her mind herself, so she still has to be the fifth, to help her do it.

Lu Zhaoyi remembers the past vividly, and in the past three months, he has often visited the Queen Mother, and the two have gradually formed a tacit understanding.

As the wife of Duke Wu and the biological mother of Xia Pei Xia Sheng, how could Empress Dowager Pu not be able to guess the thoughts of her youngest son after so many years.

It's just that she still chats with Lu Zhaoyi without a word.

"Qi Niang......" Empress Dowager Pu suddenly said, "The medical book you sent last time was interesting to you, do you still have it there?"

Lu Zhaoyi smiled, "Does the Queen Mother like it? Qi Niang doesn't dare to say anything else, but there are medical books! Next time I enter the palace, Qi Niang will bring a few more volumes."

Speaking of this, she raised her voice slightly, "Like Qi Niang, she has always liked to read medical books, and as for poetry and articles, she really doesn't have any thoughts."

These words seem to refute Cai Zhengjun's previous rumors in the palace, and he is showing his attitude to Xia Sheng.

As for why she suddenly raised her voice, it was because she noticed that there were people standing outside the temple eavesdropping.
