The Dragon King disappeared, and it wasn't until seven or eight days after he left the barracks that more and more people realized that the Dragon King's whereabouts were unknown when he needed it most.

The statement that the dragon king is moving to rescue the army has gradually become a public opinion, as for where to go there are their own speculations, the simplest is Wushan, because the mountain tribe has not openly participated in the war, the most likely to provide a large number of troops, the most optimistic that the dragon king is in secret talks with the Central Plains, and the more exaggerated claim that the dragon king wants to invite the god soldiers from the sea, who makes him the dragon king?

Dugu Xian, the commander of the dragon army, was more anxious than anyone else, but he was extremely calm on the surface, whenever someone mentioned the dragon king, he nodded confidently, as if he had some conspiracy with the dragon king.

Indeed, only a very few people know that the Dragon King is not only moving rescuers, but also strange soldiers, Dugu Xian is one of them, if this army only comes out of the Wind Swallowing Gorge and joins the Dragon Army, it will not have a fundamental impact on the situation, it must launch a large-scale attack from the enemy's flank during the decisive battle, in order to turn the tide in one fell swoop.

However, the agreed time had arrived, and the Jinpeng army on the opposite side was getting tighter and tighter, and the morale of the army was turning from prosperity to decline, but there was no news from the Dragon King and the army that should have arrived at the designated point.

The panic in Dugu Xian's heart is self-evident, the dragon army has no way to retreat, not far behind him, is the Swallowing Wind Gorge, which is the key pass that must be defended, and then the terrain behind is a flat river, directly to the capital of Anguo, the old and young people in the city are waiting for the results of the war in fear.

This is an unequal war, Jinpeng Fort loses, there is still the strength to make a comeback, the dragon army is defeated, everything will be gone, and it is likely that countless lives will be taken.

The Swallowing Wind Gorge was unprecedentedly lively, a large number of refugees were ready to flee to the country of incense in the promise of the Dragon King, Dugu Xian had to send heavy troops to set up checkpoints, prohibiting anyone from entering and leaving at will, the Dragon King was mobilizing troops in the mountains, and he definitely didn't want to leak secrets because of a few refugees.

Dugu Xian is facing more and more pressure, so you can imagine how unhappy he was when he heard that the queen had come to the military camp in person, and at this time, the last thing he needed was to deal with trivial matters that had nothing to do with the war situation.

But this is also a good thing, the queen's appearance will greatly boost morale, and her public appearance in the life and death situation proves that the dragon king has never abandoned the dragon army.

Few people understand the delicate relationship between the dragon king and the queen.

The queen brought a large number of retinues, both men and women, all dressed in military uniforms, and she herself was dressed very simply, got off at the gate of the barracks, walked into the barracks, did not go straight to the main tent, but went around in a big circle, to meet the ordinary soldiers as much as possible, to greet the cold and warm, and to personally assure that the dragon king was leading a huge army back.

The defense of men and women in the Western Regions is not very strict, but the queen's actions are still a bit shocking, which deeply moves the anxious soldiers and regains their confidence.

General Zuo Duguxian waited at the door of the main tent, looking from a distance, only to see pieces of soldiers kneeling on the ground, saluting the queen, such a scene made him breathe a sigh of relief, but also faintly vigilant, especially when he heard the queen's assurance, his heart was even more dissatisfied.

As a professional general, he did not like any foreign interference, and even the dragon king would not openly show his ownership of the army, and the queen's efforts to win the hearts and minds of the people with such fanfare were really a challenge to the commander's rights.

Dugu Xian turned his head and glanced at Prime Minister Zhong Heng.

Zhong Heng also smiled wryly, he knew a little more about the queen, knowing that this was not a simple woman, when the dragon king was there, she could be gentle and graceful, never show the dew, and at a critical moment, she might make amazing moves.

As early as during the siege of the capital of Shiguo, the queen, who was then a princess, had already inspected the whole city under the instigation of Xu Yanwei to inspire the people, Zhong Heng hoped that this time her purpose would only stop there.

It took half an hour before the queen came to the door of the main tent and apologized to General Zuo and the prime minister who had been waiting for a long time, "I have kept the two lords waiting for a long time, and I hope my arrival has not caused too much trouble." ”

The young queen behaved more maturely and decently than before, and it was hard to imagine that she was not yet twenty years old.

Dugu Xian said a perfunctory sentence coldly, Zhong Heng was much more enthusiastic, and the queen did not affect the authority of the prime minister, so he had nothing to complain about.

Xu Yanwei is still the queen's personal maid, and she secretly made a helpless expression to the prime minister, indicating that it was not her idea.

Zhong Heng even saw Shangguan Hong's figure in the group of guards, and he seemed to have accepted the fate of the eunuch and did not show a special look.

As soon as she entered the main tent and sat down, the princess asked, "General Zuo, what are the arrangements of our army at the moment of the great enemy?"

"The Dragon King and I have made a perfect plan, and everything is in order. Dugu Xian avoided a direct answer, even Prime Minister Zhong Heng only knew half of the plan, and it was impossible to tell the queen, "The front line is full of dangers, and the queen really shouldn't come." ”

The queen softened her tone, "General Dugu, how can there be a front line and a rear now?" The Jinpeng army is less than thirty miles away from our army, and it is only a little more than a day's journey from the capital of Anguo. ”

Dugu Xian didn't know how to deal with the queen, and he was not good at analyzing what he said, the front line and the rear were indeed very close, but the difference was still obvious, no matter what, it was the more than 20,000 soldiers on the front line who decided the final victory, not the hundreds of thousands of people in the rear.

Zhong Heng opened his mouth to play a round, "The queen's heart is about the front-line soldiers, which is touching, and General Dugu does not mean to oppose the queen's presence in person, but he is worried that he will not be able to explain to the dragon king if he is a little careless." ”

The queen nodded, "I was about to ask, where is the dragon king?"

Dugu Xian and Zhong Heng glanced at each other, but neither of them spoke.

"I'm the queen, so I should be qualified to know the whereabouts of the dragon king, right?"

Zhong Heng coughed twice, "This, it's not that the two of us deliberately concealed it, it's really ......."

"We don't know where the Dragon King has gone. Dugu Xian continued, "This is the truth I have never told anyone else. ”

"Then guess, the two of you have been following the Dragon King for so long, you must know a clue. ”

Dugu Xian wanted to say to the queen, how can we know about things that you don't know about sharing a bed with the dragon king? But what he really said was, "As a courtier, vainly guessing the whereabouts of the king is a great treacherous sin. ”

The queen was not provoked, the more blunt General Zuo was, the more she eased, "What General Dugu said is extremely true, but now is an extraordinary time, and the Dragon King is likely to be in danger. ”

"The Dragon King is a strong martial artist, a brilliant man, and has experienced countless dangers, all of which have survived safely. Dugu Xian would never say such flattering words in front of the Dragon King.

The queen smiled, and then said, "If the two adults knew what I knew, they would not be so calm. ”

Dugu Xian remained silent, he didn't believe that the queen could know anything inside, Zhong Heng showed interest, "Can the queen make it clear?"

"The dragon king entered Osan Mountain. ”

This is nothing, and many people know by guess that the dragon king must have gone to Osan Mountain.

"The Dragon King is looking for the army that Tonengya and Hachilie have gathered. ”

This is nothing, since you think of Osan Mountain, you will naturally think of the two generals sent by the Dragon King earlier.

"But both of them have died for no apparent reason, and the army is missing. ”

The news of the deaths of Tonengya and Hachilie had just reached the outside of the mountain, and although not many people knew about it, it was normal for it to reach the queen's ears.

"General Dugu wants to launch a surprise attack on the slope of the sea, but I'm afraid it's a little difficult. ”

Dugu Xian stood up abruptly and asked sharply, "How do you know?"

"So, I'm right?" said the queen, more and more composed.

Dugu Xian's heart was beating like a drum, even the queen knew about the surprise attack plan, was it accidentally leaked by the Dragon King, or was there another reason? What if the Jin Peng Army also knew about this plan......

It was Zhong Heng who stood up again to play a round, "The Dragon King is not here, the three of us are the core of the Dragon Army, and we should trust each other at this time." ”

"Well, trust each other. The queen said expectantly.

Dugu Xian's doubts became more and more in his heart, so he had to say: "The Dragon King has indeed entered Wushan, he feels that there are traitors in Jinpeng Fort in the mountain, so he wants to take over that army in person...... Queen, tell me the truth, how do you know......"

"I know it from the Empress Dowager Anguo. ”

Dugu Xian and Zhong Heng were stunned.

Empress Dowager An Guo came from the Central Plains, and her son Lao An Wang led his cronies to flee to Biyu City for refuge, but she stayed, and personally selected a son of her own clan as the king, but when the Central Plains showed indifference to this war and sent an envoy to contact her, she repented, and began to plan a rebellion long before the first battle between the Dragon Army and the Jinpeng Army, intending to control the entire capital and keep the Dragon Army out while the front line was defeated.

The queen and Xu Yanwei established an intelligence network in the palace and discovered the conspiracy, but they have been pretending not to know, and none of the letters exchanged between the Empress Dowager An Guo and Jin Pengjun escaped the queen's eyes.

"The man named Wu Zongheng revealed the news to the Empress Dowager An. The queen made a long story short, "Empress Dowager An plans to tell the Jinpeng Army." ”

The queen took out a letter, Zhong Heng respectfully accepted it, read it hastily, and handed it to Dugu Xian.

Everything was exposed in the letter, and Dugu Xian's face was like ashes, "Wu Zongheng, how could it be, the Dragon King trusted him so much...... The letter ......"

"Didn't send it out. The queen relieved General Zuo with a sentence, Tuo Neng Ya and Ha Chilie were killed, Wu Zongheng betrayed, this is not important, the Dragon King will recapture the army, the key is to keep it secret.

Dugu Xian was immediately impressed by the queen, and was about to say something to show his loyalty, when a messenger asked to see him.

A short time ago, Dugu Xian would politely invite the queen to rest, but now he decided to meet the messenger in her presence.

The messenger was dusty and sweaty, bowed to General Zuo, handed over the sealed letter with both hands, and said nothing.

The letter in the letter is only four words: the fifth day of the third month.

Dugu Xian suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked, "Where are you from?"

The messenger stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of Osan and opened his mouth, which turned out to be a tongueless mute.

Dugu Xian turned to the queen and the prime minister, "The day after tomorrow will start a decisive battle." ”

In the excitement, General Zuo also had a trace of doubt, how could he change to a mute person who originally said that he had sent the letter back from the Dutch girl?
