Zhao Xuan said, "Your Majesty, this time your imperial expedition is not trivial, and the concubines will accompany the emperor together." ”

Her words not only made Xu Dong stunned, but also made Xu Li and other courtiers on the side stunned, because the queen mother has always been in the harem, and she has never been with the emperor to drive in person, what happened this time, she actually proposed to go to Lechuan with the emperor, there is no fixed agreement on this battlefield, the emperor and the queen went to the front line at the same time, what if something happens.

Xu Dong couldn't believe that these words came out of Zhao Xuan's mouth, "You...... Follow me to Lethe, that ...... Who will preside over the affairs of the harem. ”

"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about this, yesterday when I met with the imperial concubines, I had already made arrangements for this matter, when the concubines followed the emperor out of the palace, everything in the harem was 'handed over' to Concubine Lu of the 'Chaohui Palace', wasn't she recognized by the emperor as the mother of the West Palace two years ago, she should take on the responsibility of managing the harem. ”

Xu Dong couldn't help but be stunned, he remembered that when Lu Xu'er came to greet Zhao Xuan yesterday, Zhao Xuan was lukewarm to Lu Xu'er, and after Lu Xu'er left, she also said a few mean words to Lu Xu'er in front of Xu Dong, when did she entrust the affairs of the harem to Lu Xu'er.

"Queen, the minister thinks that the emperor will go to Lechuan with all the courtiers to protect him, and he may not necessarily have to accompany the emperor in person, according to what the minister sees......"

Zhao Xuan interrupted Xu Li's words, "Xu Shangshu, you know, after the emperor's personal conquest, there is no one familiar with this palace now, the little prince has been sent to Wuliang Island, it can be said that this palace is unfettered, and he is panicking when he guards the empty Seventeen Horse Mansion alone, so he wants to accompany the emperor to go outside to relax, and besides, the palace is also cultivated to the foundation above the foundation realm, even if there is any danger, he can protect himself, and it is impossible to bring a drag to the emperor, you can't be a minister to understand the mood of the palace." ”

After Zhao Xuan said it for such a reason, Xu Li couldn't say anything for a while, he only waited for Xu Dong to make a statement, Xu Dong thought about it, and said to Xu Li, "Xu Aiqing, since the queen has made up her mind to go to Lechuan with me, the affairs in this palace will be completely 'handed over' to Xu Aiqing, the first time the mother of the West Palace is in charge of the harem, if there is anything in the harem that needs Xu Aiqing to mediate, Xu Aiqing will handle it for me at my discretion." ”

Xu Li hurriedly said, "Please rest assured that the emperor and the queen will do their best to handle the affairs of the palace, and the minister will make a proposal to the emperor, so let's do it, the villains in the Chunyang Palace have all been cleared, and the rest of the ministers are stepping up their processing. ”

Xu Dong thought that when he proposed to go to Lechuan in person, he also happened to have this meaning, because the matter of Lechuan was a bit special, and there was a discussion about taking Xue Ying with him, so he said, "I also have this plan, quickly call someone to the National Teacher's Mansion to pass on the Great Teacher, and after a little preparation, we will set off for Lethe." ”

It didn't take long for Xue Ying to rush over, and after Xu Dong told Xu Li some details, he took Zhao Xuan and Xue Ying out of the palace and used the magic technique to go to Lechuan.

After Xu Dong took Zhao Xuan and Xue Ying into the valley, he unconsciously stopped in front of the chalk boulder.

At that time, he had just taken over the Tiger Seal from Xizhu and lured this group of rebels to the Camel Valley, and after all the rebels had entered the Camel Valley, he ordered the mouth of the valley at both ends to be sealed with thousands of 'elite' soldiers.

Now, his eyes were closed, as if he saw him and Guo Ying, Qian Xiaoyuan, and Su Qing still standing on the chalk, facing the black pressure below a group of rebels, he 'finely' designed this last battle, and the three 'women' fought side by side to deal with these rebels, and finally he used the anti-heaven sword technique, killing the five elders of Yan's 'gate', including Yan Heshou, the heir of the serpentine trick, just when he pointed at the sky, the king was like a rainbow, and almost everyone bowed their heads and frowned at him, like a locust. Chaos' arrows flew towards him, and in an instant, a catastrophe was caused, Guo Ying, Qian Xiaoyuan, and Su Qing, the three 'women', used their bodies to block the arrows for him......

In order to protect the little prince Xu Lei, Yaqian, Sun Ruyun, Abu 'flower' and the blue line 'girl' risked their lives, and the four of them used their flesh and blood to block Zhao Zhenxing's thousand killing palms to the little prince......

"Your Majesty, let's go, it's not early, let's rush to the Lord's Mansion of Sichuan, where the head of Lechuan is stationed, Li Shangshu and Lu 'Shi'Lang have assembled the troops, and are anxiously waiting for the emperor's decree. ”

Xue Ying gently urged, only to call Xu Dong back from the distant reverie, he silently bowed three times to the chalk boulder in front of him, Zhao Xuan and Xue Ying were stunned for a moment, and also followed him to bow three times to the chalk boulder, and the three of them left the camel valley and came to the Sichuan Lord's Mansion.

Sure enough, Li Jin and Cao Yin, the deputy vanguard, were staying in the Sichuan Lord's Mansion at the moment, waiting for the decree of the monarch of Luotuo, but they did not expect that the emperor and the empress would come to Lechuan in person, in their imagination, the two ministers they sent out were galloping on the road, and they would probably return with the emperor's decree in two days.

Although Lechuan has experienced several eras such as Liu Bao's 'jade', Sun Song, and many rebel leaders, the pattern of the Sichuan lord's mansion has not changed much from a few years ago, and it is still the same as when Xizhu was the lord of Sichuan, and even the houses and palaces have not been newly built.

This only shows two problems, one is that Lechuan is constantly experiencing war and 'chaos', the economy has been dragged down, and there are not many spars to repair the Sichuan Lord's Mansion; second, the situation in Lethe has never been truly stable, whether it is the Southern Ming Sect or the Northern Religion, or the impact of foreign forces and the entry of rebels from all walks of life into Lethe Sichuan, you sing and I will appear on the stage, and those in power are all in panic, influenced by the ideology of Liukouism, and no one regards the Sichuan Lord's Mansion as their own nest.

Xu Dong took Zhao Xuan and Xue Ying into the Sichuan Lord's Mansion, and the soldiers of the Luotuo Kingdom who guarded the Sichuan Lord's Mansion did not know their own monarch, and they couldn't help but say that they absurdly tied up these three people as 'traitors', and when they brought these three people to meet the commander and the vanguard, the most embarrassing scene happened: the emperor and the queen were cut their hands behind their backs to see their courtiers.

These soldiers pressed the three of them at the 'door' of the Sichuan Lord's Mansion, and someone went in to report that they had caught two men and one 'woman' and three 'traitors', Cao Yin said casually, "Even this little thing has to disturb the boss, you yourself will not deal with it, since it is found out that it is a 'traitor', they will not 'click' away." ”

The soldier in the lead said, "These three people are really bold enough to pretend to be the emperor and queen of my country of Ratuo, and one of them said that he is a great teacher, and we also think it is very strange, so I have come to inform the commander and the vanguard." ”

Cao Yin laughed, "This is really ridiculous, who is not good to pretend, but to pretend to be the No. 1, No. 2, No. 3 people of my Luotuo country, why don't they say that they are the 'jade' emperor, queen mother and Tai Bai Xing in the sky, so we really can't recognize them." ”

Li Jin, who was burying his head in reading the documents, raised his head at this time and said to Cao Yin, "You just let them take a look at it, maybe the emperor personally rushed to Lechuan, otherwise how could the soldiers guarding the pass of the Camel Valley be let in, if it was a 'traitor', they would have been detained by them a long time ago." ”

Li Jin opened his mouth, and Cao Yin waved his hand at the leading soldier, "Escort them in and let me see." ”

Several soldiers escorted the three of them into the main hall, Cao Yin's face changed when he saw it, and he quickly knelt on the ground, Li Jin was a step late because he wanted to put down the pen and paper on the desk, "Your Majesty, the queen's mother, the ministers didn't expect that you would go to Lichuan in person, and you didn't go to the mouth of the camel valley to greet you, please atone for the emperor and the queen." ”

Xu Dong said, "Hurry up, two Aiqing, please get up, you are busy with military affairs all day long, so you don't need the cumbersome etiquette in the country, besides, you have treated your subordinates very well, and you have been treated well by the queen." ”

Seeing that the emperor, the queen and the great teachers were still tied up, Li Jin hurriedly got up to untie the three of them, and the soldiers were angrily scolded by Li Jin, and Cao Yin even wanted to whip them with a horse whip, "Are you blind, you don't even know your own emperor and queen, 'traitor', 'traitor', in your eyes there is only 'traitor', when will your eyes widen a little and don't make me these tricks without gongs." ”

"Cao Aiqing, don't blame them, it's not a good thing to guard the 'door' strictly, even misjudging a good person is better than letting in a 'treacherous', think about it, if they let in casually, if some people are assassins and want to assassinate the boss, it will be a big trouble. ”

Listening to the emperor's intercession for these soldiers, Cao Yin put down the whip and let these soldiers with white faces and black for a while go, in fact, these soldiers are really wronged, firstly, most of them are newly recruited to the army, and they have never had the opportunity to see the emperor and queen, and secondly, they would never dream that as the king of a country and the characters after a country, they will come to the front line in person.

"Two Aiqing, where are the troops stationed now, have the soldiers been rested, and where is the monk regiment sent by the 'Gate' of Linggu. ”

Li Jin reported, "Your Majesty, the war went very smoothly after we entered Lechuan, although we encountered resistance from the giant battalion at the beginning, but they saw that we had an army of 100,000, plus it was in the name of the king to cut down the river, so they automatically let go of a road, let us take the Sichuan Lord's Mansion directly, the head of the rebels is called Dai Shucheng, and he also has a Taoist name called 'Jade' Neck Zhenren, most people only remember his Taoist name and don't know his real name, he tried to use witchcraft and spells to prevent us from occupying the Sichuan Lord's Mansion, and was defeated by the monk group,' At present, I asked the pioneer Lu Ajian to lead 75,000 troops to guard the Alashan Pass, and the other 25,000 troops were placed near the barracks of the Giant Battalion, in case the Giant Battalion rebelled. ”

Xu Dong listened to Li Jin's report and remembered that at the beginning of this war, the Holy Child had a conversation with him in the underground dark room of the "Shouqiao Temple".

Holy Child: When you meet with the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs later, there is no need to discuss the question of whether it is "civil" or "military", you can just send troops and generals.

Xu Dong: That's ...... Master, you mean to conquer the 'Laki Kingdom' by force, what if Lechuan refuses to let me cross the border.

Holy Child: Isn't this easy to do, you use the name of the rebels to send out a division, with lightning speed to raid Lechuan, you must know that you were originally the lord of Lethe River, the giant battalion itself is your army, now when the army of the country of Lota is pressing, the giant battalion will never be ordered by the rebels to be your enemy, so it is easy to take Lechuan, it is best to deliberately let that group of rebels slip through the net when you control Lechuan, and flee to the "Laki country" through the Alashan Pass, then you enter the "Laki country" in the name of pursuing the rebels , it has already become an excuse that is not an excuse, and it is possible to take advantage of the situation to occupy the "Raki country" in one fell swoop.

Xu Dong: That's ...... Master, I'll do as you do, there are still some witch Gu and demon cultivation forces in Lethe, how to deal with it.

Holy Child: To deal with those demon cultivators who do not enter the stream, it is best for you to organize a monk group, if you go to conquer a country, or conquer a force, you will inevitably have to face two kinds of enemies, one is the layman, and the other is the cultivator, so setting up a monk group in the army is the best way.

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

At that time, the Holy Child had a general plan for this war, and the current situation is following the design process of the Holy Child, the entire Lethe has been taken over by the Ratuo Kingdom, and the rebel leader has fled to the "Laki Country", and the next step is very clear: take advantage of the situation to occupy the "Laki Country".

Find the "Raiden Atlas" in three places named "Iasi", "Ki", and "Aragami".

"The two Aiqing, I and the queen and the great division are in a hurry to come, that is, let you wave your army to the north to occupy the 'Laki country', you know the truth of eliminating evil, if you don't eliminate that 'jade' neck real person, it will definitely leave a disaster, then he will jump back to Lechuan at any time, regroup and launch the Lechuan rebellion', now the troops have rested for two days and will attack the army of the 'Laki country' in the north, there should not be much of a problem. ”

Li Jin said, "Your Majesty, in fact, the minister Li Jin has long thought of capturing the 'Laki Kingdom', so he asked Lu Xianfeng to assemble his troops at Alashankou, and just wait for the emperor's holy decree to arrive and move his army north, and the minister is expected to occupy the entire territory of the 'Laki Kingdom' within one day." ”

Xu Dong said happily, "Li Aiqing, this is exactly the result I want to see, you are now rushing to Alashankou with 20,000 soldiers, and after meeting with Lu Aiqing, you will command the troops to attack the 'Laki Country' overnight, only Cao Aiqing and 5,000 soldiers will be left here, and the tiger seal is still in my hand. ”

Li Jin hurriedly got up, "Your Majesty, the minister will immediately lead the troops to Alashankou, and the safety here will be 'handed over' to Deputy Vanguard Cao." ”

Xu Dong nodded and said, "You go, with the great power teacher, the queen and I will be fine." He turned to Cao Yin again, "Cao Aiqing, you transferred five thousand soldiers to strengthen the vigilance of the Sichuan Lord's Mansion, and without my order, no one should be allowed to approach this place, you must remember it, ah." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

After Li Jin and Cao Yin left together, Xu Dong said to Xue Ying, "Great Master, remember that you and I first met here, and the two of us made a 'transaction', I will find an ancient sword for you at Xu's house, and you will give me Liu Xin's hiding place, right?" ”

Xue Ying said, "Your Majesty, the minister Xue Ying often misses the grace of the emperor's acquaintance, just now as soon as I walked into the Sichuan Lord's Mansion, the minister remembered that I broke into the Sichuan Lord's Mansion at night and asked the emperor to help me find the ancient sword of the Xue family, and the emperor did not forget the kindness of the minister. ”

"Don't say that. Xu Dongdao, "Actually, as the new lord of Lechuan at that time, I vaguely felt that Lechuan was bound to rebel 'rebellion', but the former emperor Zhao Lun did not pay attention to it, and under his will, I 'handed over' Lechuan to Sun Song to take care of it, but I didn't expect that after only two years, Lechuan was 'chaotic' again, and it intensified, and finally reached the point of being out of control." ”

Xue Ying pondered for a long time and said, "Your Majesty, the minister grew up in Lethe since he was a child, and he has some understanding of the complex background of Lethe River. ”

"Oh, yes. Xu Dong felt that Xue Ying's proposal was very novel, so he asked, "What are the benefits of this?" ”

Xue Ying replied, "The reason why there is a situation in a place where you sing and I appear on the stage is that it is a piece of 'fat' and 'meat' in the eyes of people, thinking that this place is difficult to attack and easy to defend in terms of geographical advantages, and it is easy to manage after the change of regime, those sects are obedient like sheep, and those mysterious treasures are also very attractive. Sexuality and mystery, these two things actually complement each other, and as long as you break down its mystery and make it the same as the rest of the country of Ratuo, Lethe won't have so many things. ”

He went on to say, "After the dissolution of the Black and White Sects, the 'spirit' of the local people of Lechuan was freed, and there was no rope to bind them anymore, and the sense of resistance out of self-protection was enhanced. ”

Since Xue Ying has a thorough understanding of the situation in Lechuan, Xu Dong is also relieved, it seems that Xu Li is really a smart person, and he can synchronize everything with him in terms of understanding, "Xue Aiqing, the reason why I want you to come to Lechuan with me is to 'hand' over Lechuan to you after the counterinsurgency, and it is not only me who thinks of this, but also Xu Li, the secretary of the ministry, also thinks of this." ”

Xu Dong also said, "I have also thought about changing the original pattern of Lechuan, even more daring than you think, such as opening up the Lutuo Valley and Alashankou, connecting Lechuan and other places, and setting up a governor's palace in Lechuan, you are the first governor I sent to Lechuan, not only to supervise Lechuan, but also to bring the newly occupied 'Laki State' into your hands." ”
