The First Empress - Chapter 228

Chapter 228 Seizure Of Iron Mill
When Linglong saw the Emperor’s kindness, her heart was filled with joy. She only smiled slightly, “The Emperor is a dragon and phoenix amongst men. He knows what to do, and he also knows how to righteously exterminate his relatives. Then I will thank the Emperor for giving me this opportunity. I will definitely live up to the Emperor’s high hopes.”

Huiqi’s expression changed slightly as he said, “What exactly are you doing?”

Linglong calmly walked to Huiqi’s side. Qing Shuxuan gently waved her sleeves and said, “Linglong is preparing to formulate a hundred-year plan for the Emperor. She will definitely let these rebels ambush him and not let the Emperor use too many troops.” Huiqi knew that Linglong had a complete set of instructions in her heart. She nodded and said, “I will allow you to go to court if necessary.” Linglong walked to Huiqi’s side and bowed slightly. “This concubine will never forget the pain of losing her son. Please help this concubine remember the pain well. In the future, Linglong will definitely repay the messenger behind the scenes a thousand times over.” As soon as Huiqi mentioned this, his face turned purple. He nodded and sighed, “I am not restraining you. As long as you can produce evidence, I will let you do it.”

Linglong’s face was as beautiful as jade, but it was clearly cold and inviolable. She said, “There is no hurry now. I still need to play with the Seventh Prince and Royal Teacher Mu properly before I can see what my concubines are up to.” A sinister expression appeared on the pink-makeup jade-like face. The once divine abundance jade had been replaced by the current coldness and indifference. Linglong looked at Huiqi with bright eyes and said, “Your Majesty, just leave Royal Teacher Mu’s affairs to me. I will definitely not disappoint you.”

Huiqi looked at Linglong’s pink lips and felt the murderous intent in her mouth. There was an indescribable compliment in her pair of cold eyes. “You can do what you want, but you can’t be reckless. Royal Teacher Mu used his troops like a god. Back then, the first emperor was also on the battlefield. You need to be careful.” Linglong nodded and said, “This concubine will definitely be cautious. The Emperor can rest assured.”

After Linglong finished speaking, she said, “Your Majesty, I’m afraid there will be news from General Han Qi in the next two days.” Huiqi nodded hesitantly and said, “Thank you for your hard work.”

“Those who offend me, even though they are far away, will definitely be executed. It’s not hard.” Linglong’s eyes suddenly had a sparkling and moist coldness, revealing an intimidating light.

After Huiqi left, Linglong said to Qin’er, “There is no need for General Han to send a message to this palace. Entering the sword shoe is an affirmation of the Rong people.” Qin’er nodded and said, “Don’t worry, Your Highness. When General Han arrives, servant will definitely let the news here be limited to this place.” Linglong nodded and said, “In these two days, let’s just wait for the good news.”

Sure enough, two days later, General Han Qi had already arrived. Linglong saw Han Qi walk in and first let Han Qi sit down. Then she asked, “What do you have now? Tell me everything. You can’t hide your selfishness. This palace will reflect it to the Emperor one by one.” Han Qi’s face was like that of Qiu Yue. She didn’t expect a general to be so refined and gentle. She raised a picture in her hand and said, “This is Seventh Prince Huiye’s troop map. Your Highness, please take a closer look.” Linglong looked carefully. He didn’t expect that Hui Ye had already spread his troops outside Zi Hua City. The current Zi Hua City was actually like an iron bucket. There were only 50,000 guards inside Zi Hua City, but there were more than 100,000 ambushers outside. Her face was neat, cold like a cone, and sharp like a dagger, she said, “These are all troops?” “Can you tell me how many people there are in this palace?”

Han Qi looked at Linglong with her pair of sword-browed starry eyes and said heroically, “About 120,000.” Linglong looked at Han Qi again. Han Qi’s eyes were like Qiushui’s, her entire appearance extraordinary, Linglong knew that Han Qi was a capable person, She clenched her hands tightly, “General, you must be careful today. Don’t reveal your hidden treasures. After Seventh Prince’s troops enter the city, you can slowly hang them. General, use the combined forces of fire and water to attack. General, dig out an open space in the outer city and pour more than ten cubic meters of water into it. Just teach me in the inner city. This time, I will take care of them.” After Linglong finished speaking, she looked at Han Qi and said, “General, this palace will dispatch troops to the general. The general can act immediately.”

Han Qi nodded and calmly retreated.

Linglong held it in her hand and tried her best to enter school for the Emperor’s son. Eunuch Lu greeted Linglong and asked, “Is the Emperor reading the memorials or sleeping peacefully?”

Eunuch Lu waved his fly whisk, “Your Majesty hasn’t slept in recent days. It’s probably because of Seventh Prince, Your Majesty …” Linglong waved her hand slightly. He had already seen Huiqi Yushu standing in front of him facing the wind and seeing Linglong coming over with a graceful demeanor. He said, “Looking at how valiant and valiant you are, I am very relieved. I know that it would be best if I left this matter to you. What have you gained now?”

Linglong suddenly smiled. Huiqi almost thought that she was mistaken. At this time, Linglong actually had a handsome and unrestrained aura. She handed it over like a man. Huiqi looked at it for a while and felt his heart skip a beat. He asked, “Did General Han Qihan get it outside?”

Linglong nodded her head in a dignified manner and said, “Now the Emperor can rest easy.”

Huiqi’s eyebrows fluttered as he looked at Linglong and asked in puzzlement, “Now that Zihua Palace is surrounded by more than three to five times the number of troops, I am even more anxious. I cannot help but mobilize troops and generals outside the city. How can I rest easy?” “However, I am also thinking about how to send out the talisman. Gele Mountain still has a hundred thousand troops of mine, but we will not be able to quench our thirst for a while. What should we do?”

Linglong reached out and Eunuch Lu handed over a cup of tea. Linglong caught the cup and steadily handed it to the Emperor. He said, “The Emperor drinks a cup of tea first and is overwhelmed with shock. I will slowly tell the Emperor the best plan. I guarantee that there will be no return for the hundreds of thousands of people. The Emperor can just lie down high and not be anxious.”

Huiqi took the cup of tea and finished it. Looking at Linglong, he said, “Linglong, your heart is filled with tremendous potential. Can you tell me what to do now?” Linglong’s eyes were like stars as she said, “Does the Emperor really think that 120,000 troops are very powerful?”

Huiqi nodded and said, “This time, it must be a well-trained army. He has been preparing for this day for twenty years. Twenty years …” Huiqi stretched out his two fingers and smiled. “The Emperor really scared himself. Did the Emperor think that there was no escape in Zihua Palace?” Huiqi is taller than you and doesn’t shake or nod, Evidently, Linglong’s question was extremely unorthodox. Her mouth was as cold as ink, and she spat out words as precious as gold and jade from her bloody mouth. “Your Majesty, this concubine has already asked General Han to empty the outer city. She is showing off and injecting ten cubes of water into the water. There are even iron thorns in the water. As long as someone falls into the water, he will undoubtedly die.” Huiqi’s expression was slightly lively. Her exquisite teeth were lined with broken jade. She bit her lips tightly and said, “This is just for them to rub their spirits. Then, the Emperor invited them to the harem and left school for the Emperor’s son, Qianyuan Palace and Heart Nurturing Palace to his concubines. I will definitely let these people come and go.” After saying that, she raised her eyes slightly to look at the Emperor. “These troops are nameless. Even if they are hundreds of thousands, they are just mobs. If the Emperor hands them over to my concubines, I will definitely make them die without a burial ground.”

Hearing this, Huiqi’s face lit up like an ancient moon and he said, “What are you going to do?”

Linglong smiled, “When the time comes, I can borrow Yu Lin Lang and Blood Drops. There are Han Qi and Han Di in the outer city. One hundred twenty thousand people will definitely only be able to enter. The Emperor in the inner city can make empty plans. Once all these people enter, the Emperor can set fire to the rockets. It’s easy to kill them. Create an illusion that the Emperor has escaped.”

“I … this matter is of great importance. I cannot allow you to act recklessly.” Huiqi looked at Linglong. Her face was golden and she smiled faintly. “This concubine is acting recklessly. Your Majesty, please give me your opinion. This concubine is just a single person’s opinion. Your Majesty naturally has a better way to wait for the enemy.” Huiqi thought for a while, but there was no better way, so he said, “How confident are you that you can kill them all?”

Linglong’s eyebrows were like sharp swords, and she suddenly trembled, saying, “This concubine has three points of confidence.”

“Three points?” Huiqi was a little surprised. Looking at Linglong, she felt that she was also in a daze. She could only move by 30%. However, Linglong’s eyebrows moved slightly. Looking at Huiqi, her eyes were bright like pearls. “Actually, this method of concubine’s is only 1% enough, isn’t it, Your Majesty?” Huiqi thought for a moment and said, “What if you fail then …”

Linglong said with a mocking expression, “This concubine will not fail.”

“If you fail, wouldn’t that be self-defeating?” Huiqi asked, and Linglong smiled faintly, “It’s good that the Emperor appreciates the flowers with the Empress’ concubines in the harem. Your concubines will not fail. There is no such thing as a chance.”

“Alright, I trust you.” As Huiqi spoke, he handed over the talisman and said, “You and Han Qi can use twenty thousand troops. These troops are all in Zihua Palace. You can send them at will.” Linglong knew that there were 50,000 to 60,000 people stationed in Zihua Palace. For the sake of safety, the Emperor had only kept 20,000 for himself. Obviously, it was far from enough. However, Linglong’s method was four to two kilograms. It should also be enough. Linglong’s hand holding the Tiger Talisman gradually felt a chill. She said, “Your Majesty, rest assured. There is nothing General Han can’t do.” Huiqi nodded.

After returning to Yunluan Palace, Linglong had been thinking about how best to deploy the army and how to be safe. On this day, Han Qi arrived and said, “It’s probably just a few days. Does Your Highness know that she’s ready?” “This general has already made a mark outside. There are more than ten traps. When the army of Huiqi comes to break the ban, we will deal with them calmly. We will not close the door. It is just the same as usual.” Linglong nodded and said, “This palace has sent another 20,000 troops over for the general to dispatch. The general can place these 20,000 troops within the inner court, all of them on the city walls. At that time, it will be fine with rockets. What does the general think?”

Han Qi stretched out her hand and gently stroked her neat thirteen-tune hairpin, saying, “Originally, I would have obeyed. Your Highness, Shen, is far away from ordinary women. With Your Highness’ help, this lowly subject will definitely be like a bamboo shooting out of a bamboo leaf.” Linglong stood up and said, “The general is very mighty. Please help me in the future.”

Han Qi was dressed in bright silver armor and protective goggles. Even her eyes were as bright as autumn water. She nodded and said, “Your Highness, don’t worry.”
