Chapter II: Seizure of Power
"Stop!
Before entering the barracks, Qi Yue and the others were surrounded by a group of patrol soldiers, all of them looking vigilant and extremely nervous.
Turning his eyes to Zhuyue beside him, he saw that she took out a gold token from her arms, and pretended to be displeased, "Bold!
When several soldiers saw the word "Bamboo Moon" written on the token, their faces immediately turned earthy, they knelt on the ground, and shouted in their mouths, "I don't know that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is coming, and I hope to forgive me for the offense!"
Looking at the soldiers trembling under his feet, Qi Yue suddenly felt that the thing of power was indeed very attractive, and it could make a dignified seven-foot man so afraid of a little girl that he didn't even dare to raise his head.
"Hmph, go and tell Nangong to leave, I want to see how he leads the troops!"
Zhuyue was born in the royal family, this kind of thing is too familiar, just a few words of kung fu to solve the trouble, but her might scared a few soldiers enough.
After a while, a majestic general in his thirties, dressed in red gilt armor, walked out of the gate, and led a group of generals to Zhuyue, bowing in unison, "The last general has seen Her Royal Highness the eldest princess!"
I don't know if it's really angry or Zhuyue is acting, even if Nangong Li is in front of her, her complexion is not good, and she came up and asked, "Nangong Li, how did you train your subordinates?"
In the face of Zhuyue's questioning, the other party seemed to have expected it a long time ago, his expression remained unchanged, neither as fearful as his subordinates, nor flattery, but neither humble nor arrogant, standing tall and saying, "Back to Your Highness, I already know about this matter, the soldiers are ordered to patrol and do their duty, I don't think there is anything wrong with them!"
As soon as these words came out, the silent needles in the field could be heard, and Nangong Li's subordinates widened their eyes and looked at him incredulously, no one thought that he would confront the eldest princess in public.
Even Qi Yue, who was an outsider, couldn't help but look at him twice, and then looked at the side where he was already pale.
"Then you mean it's Princess Ben's fault?"
Anyone can see the face on his face when he said this, but Nangong turned a blind eye, and his attitude was still tough, "Don't dare, it's just that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is a daughter, how can she come alone, before coming next time, please order someone to notify you in advance, and send someone to answer it as soon as possible, so as not to have such a conflict again."
Nangong Li's attitude made Zhu Yueqi's whole body tremble, but he seemed to be quite jealous of him, and he had been suppressing his anger.
Just when the atmosphere was stiff, suddenly a person stood up in the crowd, pointed at Nangong Li, and reprimanded, "Bold Nangong Li! How dare you be rude to the imperial sister?"
This person is about seventeen or eighteen years old, his face is childish, different from other generals, he is dressed in an apricot yellow dragon robe, his eyebrows are full of luxury, his face is red at the moment, his chest is undulating, obviously he is not light, but what attracts everyone's attention the most is his name for Zhuyue.
"Lord Overseer, the last general is just talking about things"
Nangong Li glanced at the young man and said lightly, obviously not talking about him in his eyes.
"You're ......!"
The young man was so despised, how could he give up when he was young and vigorous, and when he was about to have a seizure, he was stopped by Zhuyue, "Brother Huang!"
was stopped by his sister, even if he was angry, he could only suppress it, and when he turned around and saw Zhuyue, whose face had returned to normal, he immediately changed his expression and rushed over.
"What did the imperial sister call me?"
When he was young, he didn't understand that people's hearts were sinister, and Zhu Yue couldn't say it clearly in front of everyone, so he just pretended not to care and said, "Forget it, I think about it, General Nangong is also doing my duty for the country, how can I blame him?"
"But ......" Hearing this, the young man wanted to say something, but was glared back by Zhuyue.
"Thank you Your Highness for your understanding, it is inconvenient to speak here, and please move to the barracks to talk in detail."
Now that Zhuyue has softened, Nangong Li is not going to be tough, and he also gave her a step down at the moment, and bowed down to invite.
On the way in, Qi Yue followed Zhu Yue and the others without leaving an inch, and at the same time, his eyes kept looking around, silently remembering the escape route in his heart.
The scene just now, even if Qi Yue didn't understand politics, he had already realized that this trip was not as easy as he imagined, although it was less than a hundred miles away from the Ziyang Sword Sect, but the necessary preparations still had to be made.
In the big tent in the army, according to the rank of the rank and the left and right order, Zhu Yue is the eldest princess at the top, the young prince is sitting on the left hand, and Qi Yue on the right hand side does not dare to relax his vigilance at any time, and the wine and meat on the table have not moved at all, once there is a little wind and grass, he will leave with Zhu Yue as soon as possible.
Fortunately, after entering the account, everyone seemed to forget the displeasure just now, and pushed each other to change glasses, whether it was the toast of the people below, or the toast of Zhuyue, no one refused, but everyone seemed to regard Qi Yue as Zhuyue's guard, and there was no one who didn't open his eyes to persuade him to drink, but it saved a lot of trouble.
After three rounds of drinking, Zhuyue drank a few more glasses and looked a little drunk, and when she realized it, she decisively chose to say what she wanted to do today and ended the banquet early.
"Do you know the purpose of my trip, generals?"
As soon as the words came out, the originally noisy banquet fell silent at that time, and everyone looked at her in unison, even some of the generals who had pretended to be drunk before opened their eyes and waited for her.
Nangong Li, as the commander of the legion, was naturally the first to stand up and bow his hand in the face of this kind of question, "But what does Your Majesty command?"
Seeing that the other party was so knowledgeable, Zhuyue didn't go around in circles at the moment, got up and tidied up his clothes, and took out the two things from his arms.
A Nine Dragons Token and half a Tiger Talisman.
As soon as these two things were taken out, the generals in the field all changed color, and they all looked at Nangong Li, as if they were asking something.
But Zhuyue didn't seem to see all this, and raised the Nine Dragons token and said loudly, "Seeing that the Nine Dragons Order is coming in person, the generals will not accept the order!"
Everyone was stunned for a long time, until Nangong Li took the lead in bending down to accept the order, and seeing this, the generals beside him knelt down on one knee under his leadership.
After leading everyone to surrender, Zhuyue continued to announce, "Receiving a secret report, the northern barbarians raised 200,000 troops and the intention outside the Absolute Goose Pass is unknown. His Majesty's decree: The eldest princess Zhuyue will be in charge of the military power, and the general of Zhenbei, Nangong Li, will be the deputy general, and the two must work together to resist foreign enemies, and there must be no loss!"
After announcing the edict in one breath, Zhu Yue's heart hung in his throat, and his eyes looked straight at Nangong Li, who was headed down, but unfortunately the other party kept bowing down and face down, and no one could see his expression.
In the big tent that should have been extremely noisy, the silence at the moment was terrifying, not only Zhuyue alone, but even Qi Yue beside him couldn't help but get up, thinking that it was just a random inspection, but he didn't want to encounter such a thing as seizing power.
Qi Yue knew very well that when Zhu Yue came, he didn't bring anyone else at all, and once Nangong Li didn't agree, he only needed to give an order, and it would be difficult for the two of them to get out of the body today.
This couldn't help but make Qi Yue sweat for this strong-looking woman.
Nangong Li has been silent, no one knows what he is thinking, but the generals under him are a little unable to sit still, and even a few people have already put their hands on their swords, Qi Yue believes that as long as there is a slight movement, the people present will not hesitate to rush up and divide the bodies of the three people.
Compared with Zhu Yue's abnormal calmness at this time, her eyes were blazing, and the prince beside her was already trembling with fright at this time, and couldn't help but come over in the direction of Qi Yue, at least from his point of view, the strength of her imperial sister's guards should not be weak.
It was only a moment after Zhuyue announced the edict, but everyone felt that the days were like years, and time seemed to pass very slowly, so slow that it was suffocating.
I don't know when, Qi Yue suddenly found that there were many people behind the screen behind everyone, shaking from time to time.
"Axeman!"
This term is extremely familiar to a time-traveler, and every time it appears, it means a change of power, but unfortunately, today's goal has become himself.
When everyone thought that the matter was a foregone conclusion, even Qi Yue was ready to escape with Zhuyue.
Nangong Li, who had never spoken, suddenly shouted, "The last general's order!"
Immediately raised his head, and the eyes of the two clashed in mid-air, but in the end, Nangong Li suddenly took out the other half of the tiger talisman from his arms for some reason, and threw it lightly, and after a few rolls in the air, it landed on the table in front of Zhu Yue.
Watching the talismans in his hands slowly merge into one, Zhu Yue could no longer hold back the joy on his face, and looked at Nangong Li, who had returned to his original position, with a sigh of relief.
"General Nangong really deserves to be the pillar of the empire, general, please rest assured, once the barbarians retreat, this other half of the talisman, Zhuyue will definitely return it with both hands"
Not only did Zhu Yue breathe a sigh of relief, Qi Yue also noticed that the moment Nangong Li threw out the tiger talisman, the tense nerves of many people present were relaxed.
"It seems that not everyone is willing to rebel" secretly recorded this scene in his heart, thinking that he would tell Taketsuki when there was no one.
The military power has been collected, and the next conversation seems a little boring, it is nothing more than some military theories, listening to Qi Yue and the prince only dozing off, and lack of interest.
Just when the two of them were about to fall asleep, Zhuyue suddenly got up and saluted, "Since the generals have already planned, then I won't say much, and I implore everyone to do their jobs next, Zhuyue is here to thank the generals on behalf of the emperor's brother!"
"Obey the generals!"
A thrilling banquet ended, and after all the generals retreated, Zhuyue gave Qi Yue and the others a look, and turned to get up and walk outside the tent.
Qi Yue understood, and took the little prince and hurriedly followed her into a military tent prepared in advance.
After Zhuyue drank back and left, he quietly pointed to the outside of the tent.
Qi Yue immediately understood what he meant, and urged the internal force to quietly cover all the tents that were already small.
He nodded to Zhuyue and said, "Okay, I have used the internal force to cover the surroundings, unless there is a transformation realm master who forcibly breaks the internal force, otherwise we can't hear our words outside."
In Qi Yue's trust, Zhu Yue breathed a deep sigh of relief, and the whole person seemed to lose his backbone in an instant, and he collapsed on the wooden chair.
