The First Empress - Chapter 320
Chapter 320 Strong Troops Coming Out of Seclusion
It’s all planned out, After receiving the letter, Huiqi had already adjusted his army as quickly as possible. Two of them were now merged into one. Huiqi knew that there would be brave men under the heavy reward. Some of the people arranged inside were hardcore members who were not afraid of death like blood droplets. There were also some who naturally had wives and children in Zihua Palace. Therefore, Huiqi still had a chance of winning.
The armor of this group of people was like flowing mercury in the daylight. Their military appearances were neat and strict. Almost no one would make a strange sound. These people were made of iron, and they were made of fine iron from beginning to end.
When Huiqi and his imperial concubines arrived at the Black Warrior Sect to send out this vast army, their dusty heads suddenly rose. They couldn’t see the leader from behind. It was extremely difficult to see the people behind them from the front. Lan Zhenglin had already put on his military uniform. “Your Majesty, this old official will definitely try to defeat the enemy in the face of danger. Please don’t worry too much.” Huiqi nodded and said, “After all, Elder Lan is old and cannot be overworked. If there is anything that the three armies can discuss with them, I will naturally rest easy with Elder Lan sending troops.” After Huiqi finished speaking, he said, “Remember to return triumphantly. Don’t disappoint me.”
Lan Zhenglin hurriedly kowtowed on the ground. Linglong walked over and said, “Elder Lan Ge is leaving now. Please have a cup. A cup of turbid wine is ten thousand kilometers away from home. Just wait for Elder Yan Ran to restrain the stone.” Lan Zhenglin held the cup that Linglong had raised. After drinking a mouthful of wine, Linglong leaned closer to Lan Zhenglin and said, “The Ninth Concubine Lan is waiting for the Pavilion Elder in the harem. If the Pavilion Elder acts recklessly, the Ninth Concubine Lan will immediately lose her mind. Before doing anything, the Pavilion Elder should think about her daughter.” Lan Zhenglin smiled faintly. “Although this old minister is old, he is not stunned. Does this old minister still know how to defeat the enemy? He will definitely come back in good condition at that time.”
“That’s it.” Linglong waved her hand, and the concubines made way. Lan Shuyu walked over crying, and Linglong retreated in seclusion.
Lan Shuyu’s beautiful face was filled with two lines of tears. She knew that something like this would happen one day. Her fingers that were like scallion roots were gently wiping under her eyes. However, her tears could not be stopped. The woman who smiled and smiled at the same path had become a wooden decaying pearl. She was nothing more than a superficial figure.
“Daddy, Yu’er doesn’t have any hopes. She only hopes that Daddy will win and return to the court as soon as possible. Yu’er will wait for Daddy here.” After Lan Sou Yu finished speaking, she knelt in the dust and began to kowtow. After a single sound, Lan Zheng Lin helped Lan Sou Yu up and softly warned her before leaving.
Huiqi watched as the army went far away and sighed in disappointment. Linglong smiled and walked to Huiqi’s side. “Your Majesty, it’s snowing outside. Let’s go back.” Only then did Huiqi notice that it was still snowing along the way. The snowflakes above his head were spinning and dancing. After falling down, he stopped looking and turned back to the road of Qianyuan Palace.
Lan Sou Yu hated Ling Long. Although she did not know why her father suddenly planned to send troops, most of the reasons were because of Ling Long. This woman seemed to be the most innocent and helpless, but everything was just a plate of pearls beside her hand. She would turn the world upside down if she carelessly played with it.
“Your Majesty is truly desperate. What if the army goes against the tide? Isn’t there an unexpected result?” Linglong was filled with worry. Huiqi smiled faintly. “Although there are only a few people who have entered the Central Army, However, all of them were iron-blooded men who had been nurtured through decades of hard work. They all opened their eyes when they slept. One of them could defeat more than a dozen of them. The army was like the harem women. The regime was always in the hands of virtuous people. The army had already gone. If there was a problem with grain, it would be a big problem. ” Only then did Huiqi explain what he was going to do, Linglong couldn’t help but be shocked. She thought that she had already thought of Huiqi’s thoughts. Who knew that there was another level beyond the Three Rooms and Three Heavens? Only then did Linglong know that the reason why Huiqi was so relieved to let all the troops leave was not only certain, but also certain. It was impossible for them not to return.
As long as there was a problem with the grain on this side, the other side would naturally be held hostage. With Li Chen’s secret protection and provocation, there was no need to worry about the two armies not firing. At that time, no matter which side won or lost, he would have other arrangements. If Lan Zhenglin wins, Huiqi will definitely kill this group of loose soldiers on the way back. If the Western barbarians win, they will get rid of the most troublesome Lan Zhenglin, and vice versa.
By night, the dusty Princess Baoluo had already returned. It had only been three or two months. Baoluo had already been tortured by the wind and frost. Baoluo had always been thin-skinned. Now that she had arrived at the border, she was completely ignorant of it. Her face was filled with wind and dust, and she had just returned to Chen Chongyi’s palace. Actually, according to the ancestral system, she should return to visit her relatives at this time. Linglong was also in Chen Chongyi’s palace. Last time, when Baoluo left, Linglong had not yet been crowned empress. She naturally came back to greet her happily. Seeing Baoluo return safely, Linglong felt relieved. No matter what, she was able to protect one of them.
“Empress, Mother, Baoluo is back.” Is the woman greeting you still a woman who has just married? Would that pair of hands, which were accustomed to holding the incense consort pipe, still hold swords and spears? Will time really change a person?
Linglong and Chen Chongyi both smiled in relief. Baoluo did not notice anything unusual, but felt that the palace was still deserted. “Come and do it. This palace has something to tell you.” Linglong looked at Bao Luo with a gentle expression. Bao Luo’s face was as heavy as water, and fine beads of sweat oozed out from her forehead. Although Linglong said it was clear, Bao Luo’s heart still felt unusually uncomfortable. It was as if she had anticipated something. She stopped and looked at Linglong.
‘”Let me tell you,” Chen Chongyi said. “The Emperor’s intention is that you can come back this time. Li Chen … he … he might be in danger these few months. You …” Baoluo smiled, but there was not a trace of temperature in this indifferent arc. His smile was far from reaching his eyes. “If I had known earlier, I would have been with Zhen Xi …”
‘”No–” Linglong saw that Bao Luo’s face was ashen. The expression he had seen on the faces of the Crown Prince and Zhen Xi appeared on Bao Luo’s face at the same time. This expression of disappointment caused Linglong’s heart to ache slightly. Chen Chongyi’s tears had already fallen from her eyes. “The Tian Clan is fortunate to be able to return. It’s already a matter of great wealth and wealth. Don’t worry about it in the future. When the boat comes to the bridge, it will naturally straighten out.” As Chen Chongyi spoke, she explained. Linglong held Baoluo’s hand and said, “Everything is for the country. Zhen Xi has already looked for you?”
“The same disease, naturally with qi, Baoluo only hate not to work together with sister ZhenXi, otherwise would not have today. What happened today was beyond Paulo’s imagination, The Emperor was still the Emperor, “The Emperor is bloodthirsty. Whether we have children or not, I’m afraid that one day even the Empress will become her chess piece.” Linglong held Paulo’s trembling hands and said, “It’s good that you can come back. Zhen Xi took your place and kissed her. Wouldn’t she really be close to you? Do you understand that?”
Baoluo naturally understood as well. Looking at Linglong’s eyes, there was a brilliant light in her precious eyes. She looked at her and said, “Actually, you should have understood something just now.” Bu Mother had already been used by the Emperor for a lifetime, and he didn’t care if it was too much or too little. Now, Da Li was already in danger, like someone else on the Swallow Nest Screen who didn’t know that it was someone else’s business. “You are now a member of the army, so your divine eyes are like lightning in the army. You can take a look and see if there are … no more troops in Zihua Palace.”
Only then did Baoluo suddenly recall that he had seen a lot less guards patrolling all the way here. “What Bu Mother meant is …”
“That’s right, Zihua Palace is empty.” Linglong said without any hesitation.
A few people were talking. It was good if a father-in-law outside shrieked to inform them that Huiqi had arrived. Linglong was surprised, and Chen Chongyi was also surprised. Baoluo did not expect that the three of them would hurriedly go outside to welcome them. Huiqi walked over and helped them up one by one.
“My son greets father-” Baoluo sweetly greeted. Huiqi saw Baoluo’s face full of dust and regretted it. “Looking at you like this, I don’t think I should let you suffer outside.”
“Your son is happy,” said Baoluo. “I can also have a good reunion with my father and Mother this time. Your son is looking forward to it.” Linglong did not expect that even Baoluo was now wearing a mask that belonged to her. This mask was flawless and even Huiqi could not see through it. Huiqi did not know that the three of them already knew the inside story.
After a while, Huiqi said, “I’ll let you come back to visit me. You just have to stay here. General Li has other military affairs now.”
“This son naturally knows. Is the general naturally leading troops to war? This son only hopes that Li Chen will be able to take the lead. This son is also honored to be promoted by the emperor.” Baoluo was already very talkative. Linglong knew that she shouldn’t worry about Baoluo. Chen Chongyi was also relieved.
Huiqi glanced at Linglong and said, “Linglong, I still have something to do with you. Let’s borrow a step to talk.”
“Naturally,” Linglong said with a smile, “Sister Chen Chongyi still wants to talk to Baoluo. Your Majesty, are we going to the Qianyuan Palace?” Huiqi nodded and waved his hand at Chen Chongyi and Baoluo. He walked out first and said, “Right now, this place is already an empty city. No one else can tell that you should be able to see it, but I haven’t found anyone yet …”
“Hui Ye?” Linglong asked.
Huiqi’s expression changed slightly and he said, “I think you should help me. You are a smart person, and I can tell.” Linglong nodded and pondered for a moment before saying, “It is not impossible to find Hui Ye. Your Majesty, let me think about it carefully.” As Linglong thought about it, Huiqi said, “I only hope that Li Chen can think more about Baoluo and not do that bad thing.”
Linglong thought for a while and said, “Actually, the Emperor doesn’t have to worry about it. He will come out at this time, won’t he?” Huiqi nodded and pondered for a moment before saying, “I knew he would come out, but I became more and more fearful. Where is he now?” Huiqi glanced at the sky above his head and saw the boiling snowflakes falling from the sky like popcorn. His heart was also covered in snow.
