Spring goes to winter, and three years have passed in a blink of an eye.

In the year 7734 of the imperial calendar, in January, Tang Lan and Su Muyun exhausted the empire's 400,000 horses, crossed the mountains to attack Lingkong Province, and were defeated by Long Qianlin, one of the seven marshals of Lingnan, with delays, and the imperial army lost all supplies due to a heavy snowfall, and was attacked by the Boxer army, losing more than 200,000 people.

In March, the army returned to the imperial capital.

On the Zetian Palace, Qin Yin's beautiful face was a little less immature after the baptism of wind and frost, but it had a little more mature charm, she pressed the hilt of the Ziyin Sword, stood majestically in front of the throne, looked at the people in the hall with cold eyes, and said: "Grandfather, His Royal Highness the King of the Seven Seas, why did you achieve this defeat, give me a reason..."

Tang Lan and Su Muyun knelt together under His Royal Highness, silent.

Feng Jixing stood aside with the hilt of his sword, suddenly walked out, hugged his fists and said: "Your Highness, this battle is not a battle, almost every move we make is within the control of the opponent, most of the grain and grass supplies have been intercepted and burned, so the 400,000 army has lost its supplies on the Qinling Mountains, plus the delay is too long, the cotton clothes and so on are not sufficient, and a heavy snow completely makes the imperial army lose its combat power." ”

"What's going on?" Qin Yin asked.

Feng Jixing said: "In the past three years, Lingnan has once again built nearly 100 chivalrous inns in Lingbei, and we have encircled and suppressed them many times in vain, they are hidden in the mountains, it is too cunning, and those rangers continue to report our military intelligence to the Boxers, which is also the biggest reason for the defeat." ”

Qin Yin breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Xiang Yu, send troops to guard the border of Tianshu Province and Cangnan Province, don't let the Yihe Kingdom attack again, Commander Feng, you are responsible for exterminating the Chivalrous Pavilion, within half a year, I don't want there to be a Chivalrous Pavilion in the empire." ”

"Your Highness, this ......"

"What's wrong, there's a problem?"

"Yes. Feng Jixing hugged his fists and said: "Does Your Highness know the powerhouses of the Seven Holy Domains of the Yihe Kingdom?" Han Jun, Lu Zhan, Fan Yun, Duanmu Fang, Xiahou Zhu, Yan Li, Bu Hai, these seven people are all Luo Lan's disciples, and now that three of them have entered the territory of Lingbei, they are lurking in the mountains and forests in the Chivalrous Pavilion, which is the reason why we have repeatedly conquered and suppressed the Chivalrous Pavilion but have repeatedly failed. ”

"Do you just allow them to go on like this?"

Qin Yin's eyes were full of undoubtedness, and he said: "Defend the enemy, take the Gentian Battalion to assist the Wind Commander, and be sure to uproot the Chivalrous Pavilion in Lingbei Province and Cangnan Province..."

"Yes, Your Highness..."Wei Qiu hugged his fists, and on the side, the three generals Qin Yan, Luo Yu, and Fengxi also looked eager to try, the Gentian Battalion had not made a move for too long, and this was an opportunity.

As for killing the Holy Domain, this is not too difficult, after all, Lin Muyu once left 100,000 white diamond arrows, which is the killer weapon of the Gentian Battalion.

"Your Highness..."

Su Muyun clenched his fists, and said with a grim expression on his face: "In the battle of the volley province, the empire lost troops and lost generals, all of which were the fault of the old minister, and the old minister asked for punishment and voluntarily took away the title of the king of the clouds. ”

"It's rare for my grandfather to understand righteousness so well. ”

Qin Yin smiled slightly, and said: "Yes, come here, deprive Su Muyun of the title of King of Yunzhong, and restore the title of Duke of Muyun, in order to show that the rewards and punishments are clear, and my grandfather doesn't have to mind, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and next time we win it back, we have a total of five rich lands of Seven Seas Province, Yunzhong Province, Lingbei Province, Cangnan Province, and Tianshu Province, and the Boxer Kingdom will not last long." ”

"Yes, Your Highness is wise..."Su Muyun knelt on the ground again.

On the side, Tang Lan's brows tightened, and finally he knelt down slowly, and said, "Your Highness, since Duke Yun has resigned as the prince, Tang Lan should also resign from the prince, and voluntarily reinstate him as Duke Lan." ”

"That's right. Qin Yin was pleased.

......

In the afternoon, 5,000 forbidden troops went out of the city under the leadership of Feng Jixing, followed by 1,000 elites of the gentian battalion, due to Tang Lan and Su Muyun's repeated obstructions, the gentian battalion has never been able to expand to more than 1,000 people, but fortunately, the defense of the enemy has a good way to lead the troops, these 1,000 people are elite, skilled in bows and horses, and their combat power is far better than any army of the same number in the empire.

"Defend the enemy. ”

Feng Jixing took the reins and said, "Which hill do you think we should hit first?"

"Longyan Mountain..."

Wei Qiu's face was not very good-looking, and he said: "This group of bastards from the Chivalrous Pavilion reoccupied Longyan Mountain a year ago, this is the shame of our Gentian Battalion, I have long wanted to fight Longyan Mountain." ”

"Alright then......"

The corners of Feng Jixing's mouth raised, and said: "It's just that Longyan Mountain is now stationed at the main altar of the Chivalrous Pavilion in Lanyan City, it is said that there is a holy domain powerhouse living on the mountain, named Buhai, half a year ago when Xiang Yu went to exterminate Longyan Mountain, he touched a nose of ash, and almost left his life on Longyan Mountain." ”

"Xiang Yu is not Buhai's opponent?" Wei Qiu couldn't help but speak.

"That's not ......" Feng Jixing's eyes were cold, and he said: "It's good that Xiang Yu has already stepped into the holy realm a year ago, in terms of strength, he and Buhai should be on par, but later he got a secret order from Duke Lan to collect troops and return to Lanyan City." ”

"Hmph. ”

Wei Qiu said coldly: "Presumably, Tang Lan is not willing to step into the sea and die, right?"

Not necessarily. ”

Feng Jixing pressed the handle of the knife with his hand, and the warm spring breeze was blowing on his face, and said: "I guess Tang Lan is worried about breaking Xiang Yu, a fierce general, so ...... He is waiting for other imperial armies to go to exterminate Longyan Mountain, you should also understand that among the major legions in the empire, only the forbidden army and the gentian battalion are directly under the orders of the empress. ”

"Hmm. ”

Wei Qiu smiled meaningfully: "It's a pity that the formation of the Gentian Battalion is charged within 1,000 people, and the formation of the forbidden army is charged within 20,000 people, otherwise it will ......."

"Don't think about it so much. Feng Jixing tightened the straps of his cloak and said, "One step at a time, but as long as we are here, no one will dare to touch Her Royal Highness the Empress, and this is enough." ”

"Yes. ”

Wei Qiu's eyes flashed with some light, and he muttered, "It's a pity...... He is gone, otherwise he is also a person who can take ideas, at least he will not let Her Royal Highness the Empress suffer so much humiliation. ”

Feng Jixing looked up at the clear sky, and said leisurely: "Ah Yu, that kid...... It's really a rare talent, but it's a pity......"

"Don't say it, don't say it, garrison at the foot of Longyan Mountain tonight, and attack the mountain tomorrow. ”

"Hmm..."

......

Lanyan City, the elixir department is full of birds and flowers, butterflies are flying, and a warbler is swallowing.

Chu Yao slowly opened one hand, Ning Hua's hand slowly withdrew from the medicinal yuan of the herb, and the beautiful eyes were very calm, and on the side, the pear flower sword was slowly swaying in the air, as if accompanying the hostess.

"Archdeacon, you still refine the medicine yourself......" an old man dressed in a deacon's costume laughed beside him.

"Hmm. Chu Yao nodded lightly and said, "If I let myself calm down, I really don't know what to do, so ...... When you don't have any free time, let's refine some more potions, Deacon Li, is there anything wrong?"

"Hmm. ”

Deacon Li arched his hand and said, "Over there in the temple, we need a few bottles of anti-aging elixir, but this anti-aging elixir is a level 8 formula, and we old guys can't do anything about it, so we can only trouble the archdeacon to refine the medicine yuan himself." ”

"That's ......" Chu Yao blinked her eyes and asked, "Is it possible that the archdeacon of the temple Ge Yang is sick again?"

"Yes. Deacon Li said respectfully: "Archdeacon Geyang has not been in good health since he took reins of the temple, you also know that Archdeacon Geyang has not yet stepped into the Holy Domain, so the years are taking his life, he is more than ninety years old, I am afraid that he will not be able to reach the realm of the Holy Land in his lifetime, and can only rely on anti-aging drugs to maintain his life force." ”

"I see. Chu Yao pursed her red lips and said, "The level 8 formula will take a little time to be refined, so you can come and get it at dusk." ”

"Yes. ”

Deacon Li looked aside, a black delicate bead hung on the stand of Chu Yao's desk, swaying gently, which Qin Yin took from Lin Muyu and handed it to Chu Yao.

"Archdeacon, this bead ...... Who is the figure engraved on it?" he asked suddenly.

Chu Yao was stunned suddenly, her graceful body stood there, and after being silent for a long time, she muttered, "They are...... They are the people I dream of, the people I love in my dreams......"

Deacon Li was stunned for a moment, clasped his fists respectfully, and said to Linglong Zhu: "Lord Chu Huaiwei and Lord Lin Muyu's spirits in the sky will definitely bless the prosperity of the empire, and please don't be too sad, by the way, the matter of the Marquis of Lingbei who came to ask for marriage a few days ago ......"

Chu Yao said lightly: "Don't bother me about this kind of thing, I won't marry anyone." ”

"Yes..."

......

The temple, the temple in the minds of the imperial warriors, has been rebuilt, but the black ashes on the walls have not yet been completely cleared, and it seems to let the world remember the shame and hatred of the past.

In the archdeacon's office, Ge Yang had silver hair, his palm trembled and held the pen shaft, and he was replying page after page of the dossier, and on the side, a young silver star instructor said with a smile: "Archdeacon, your hand holding the pen is trembling more and more. ”

Ge Yang glanced at him and said, "As far as you are concerned, I know ......"

He suddenly put down the pen of his pen, leaned back in his chair, and said with a smile: "I am old, and this should have been done by young people, but unfortunately...... The talents in the Imperial Temple withered, and how many Tianzhong talents lost their precious lives in the rebellion of Lanyan City three years ago, alas......"

The young instructor smiled: "Archdeacon is talking about Deacon Lin Muyu, right? Although I haven't seen him, everyone in the temple remembers this person, and he is the youngest person in the empire with the strength of a heavenly king." ”

"Not to mention the strength of the Heavenly King...... Ge Yang's eyes flashed with a faint light, and said, "If Ah Yu hadn't died, with his advanced speed, I'm afraid he would have stepped into the Holy Realm by now." ”

"The Archdeacon's request to resign His Highness has been rejected...... His Royal Highness said that the Gentian Camp also needed people, and Qin Yan could not return to the temple to serve as an archdeacon no matter what. ”

"Yes, we all need people to ......"

Ge Yang sighed leisurely and picked up the pen again.
