It was more than an hour after Zhu Yaohong returned to his palace from Su and Jinlian Palace. Tuoba Liang was sitting in the study reading. When he saw her coming in, he asked, "Why did it take so long?" Zhu Yaohong lowered his eyes and smiled helplessly, "That... the queen seemed a little bored, and she pulled me to talk for a while." Tuoba Liang was not surprised when he remembered Su and Jinlian's character. He just asked, "What do you think Su and Jinlian are like?"

Zhu Yaohong smiled and said, "The Empress is simple and upright, and she is not worried about Princess Zhaoguo. With her background like that, she probably has nothing to worry about." After that, she told Tuoba Liang about her previous conversation with Su and Jinlian. Tuoba Liang nodded with satisfaction and said warmly: "Thank you for your hard work."

Zhu Yaohong smiled and said, "Your Majesty is so serious, it's just a simple task."

Tuoba Liang stretched out his hand and pulled Zhu Yaohong into his arms, looking at Zhu Yaohong with satisfaction and satisfaction. Since the last incident of Princess Shenyou, although Zhu Yaohong still looks a little cold and occasionally makes trouble with him, Tuoba Liang could feel that her attitude was actually much softer.

Especially when he saw that he was in pain in poison, the heartache and guilt in his eyes could not be concealed. At first, Tuoba Liang was very angry because of his failure to plot against Princess Shenyou. However, these days, the poison imposed by Princess Shenyou was neither fatal, and the degree of each attack gradually began to decrease. Tuoba Liang felt that this would be worth it to exchange for Zhu Yaohong's complete surrender.

For example, this time, she was asked to test Su and Jinlian. If she were to be sarcastic, she would have to sarcasticize her, and she might not have been willing to go. This time he just mentioned it a little, and she just said a few sarcastic words and went there willingly.

As for Su and Jinlian, since they are really an arrogant and domineering idiot, there is no need to worry too much. Tuoba Liang certainly knew that Su and Jinlian did not take him seriously, but he didn't care. He and Hulan tribe were originally an alliance, and he didn't need Su and Jinlian to love him, as long as she stayed honestly. As long as she was the princess of Hulan tribe, it didn't matter whether Su and Jinlian were Su and Jinlian or Yinlian.

Tuoba Liang secretly mocked in his heart that it is also interesting that people like Su and Mingguang will have such a stupid sister.

"The character of Queen Jinlian, Your Majesty, Princess Zhaoguo, should I suppress you. Otherwise, I would be afraid that the trouble would be made, and it would be difficult for Su and Wolf Lord to rest." Zhu Yaohong persuaded lightly, "Isn't Su and Wolf Lord staying in Shangjing just because he is worried that his sister will be bullied?"

Tuoba Liang snorted lightly, "Su and Mingguang don't have such a deep brother-sister relationship. But Mingzhu should suppress it. No matter how much Su and Jinlian are, they are the queen, and are her elders. Since she said that she was pregnant, she was worried about leading troops to fight, so she should raise her at home. She would run outside all day long and was not afraid of any accidents in the child."

Zhu Yaohong smiled faintly and didn't say much, she kept it well at home... Princess Zhaoguo held a lot of power in her hands, so how could she let go just like that? When she heard Tuoba Liang's words, she was afraid she would be angry again.

After seeing off Tuoba Liang, Zhu Yaohong's smile became a little deeper. Her bright red lips curled up a smile with interest. Tuoba Liang was afraid that he didn't know what he had welcomed into the palace?

"Empress, that Golden Lotus Queen..." The maid who followed Zhu Yaohong looked at Zhu Yaohong and couldn't help but whisper. Zhu Yaohong raised her eyes and glanced at her lazyly and said, "Well? What's wrong with Queen Golden Lotus?"

The maid said, "The queen doesn't seem to be a good-looking lamp. The empress said so... What if His Majesty..." The empress only told His Majesty the first half of her conversation with Queen Jinlian, but did not mention what she said in the second half. In the eyes of outsiders, the Empress Jinlian was just a irritable, arrogant and domineering foreign princess. But... in terms of scheming, I am afraid that it is not inferior to anyone in the palace. Moreover, her attitude towards His Majesty... The maid couldn't help but look at her own empress. Although it was different, she always felt that there were similarities.

Zhu Yaohong smiled and said, "If His Majesty finds out, it will be her own problem. As for me...what is strange if I was deceived by her if I didn't check for a while?"

The maid thought about it and felt that her empress was right. What kind of person is Queen Jin Lian? What does it have to do with them? It was just a visit, and it was naturally not a strange thing to be fooled over.

On the other side, when Tuoba Mingzhu heard the words Tuoba Liang sent to spread, she couldn't bear to leave and smash things directly. The people who came to deliver the message were shocked and thought to herself that the princess of Zhao was getting worse and worse. Although they were nothing, they were just passing the message on behalf of His Holy Death. Isn't the princess of Zhao unconcealedly dissatisfied with His Majesty's decision? Without thinking too much, the envoy quickly stood up and said goodbye.

Tuoba Mingzhu, who was sitting in the main seat, looked at the mess in front of her and couldn't help but turn red. The pain in her abdomen made her frown involuntarily, and a look of pain appeared on her face. Seeing this, the maid next to her quickly comforted her: "Princess, please take care of her health."

Tuoba Mingzhu raised her hand and stroked her abdomen and gritted her teeth, "What does Father mean?!"

The maid hesitated and said, "Maybe... Your Majesty is just worried about the princess's body? After all, the princess is now..." However, the maid was a little guilty, because the maid knew that the princess was pregnant a few days ago and did not show much happiness after she knew that the princess was pregnant again. After all, she was just a grandson. Not to mention the princess and grandchildren under His Majesty himself, she only said that there were three little masters in the mansion, and none of them had ever been particularly fond of him. How could His Majesty?

Of course, Tuoba Mingzhu wouldn't be confused about something that even a maid could figure out?

Tuoba Mingzhu gritted her teeth and said, "What are you worried about me? You obviously want to seize my power!" Tuoba Mingzhu knew in her heart that her father was dissatisfied with her. But Tuoba Mingzhu asked herself that she had received all the things she deserved. Over the years, she has done more for her father than her incompetent brothers. Isn't she supposed to get these things? Why should the father take away her rights?

The maid looked at her carefully and said, "Princess, it is Your Majesty's order after all. If the princess resists the order, Your Majesty will be afraid..."

"I know!" Tuoba Mingzhu gritted her teeth and stood up and said, "I will go to the palace to see my father now! I want to ask him why he should treat me like this!"

Tuoba Mingzhu did not meet Tuoba Liang as she wished, because Tuoba Liang refused to see her at all. She just sent a message to ask her to go back to the house to recuperate and not run around. Tuoba Mingzhu was so angry that her face turned pale and could not do anything except make jokes. Even if she had the courage to break into the emperor's bedroom, she would not have the ability. The guards and the underworld guards were not used as decorations.

In the end, Tuoba Mingzhu could only turn away from the palace with a pale face and lose her soul.

Nangong Yuyue, who was passing by from afar, happened to see this scene, raised her eyebrows slightly and showed a meaningful smile on her face. Fu Leng, who was following Nangong Yuyue, frowned and said, "Young Master, does Tuoba Liang actually love Princess Jinlian so much?"

Just because the Princess Zhaoguo contradicted Princess Jinlian yesterday, the Northern Jin Emperor actually took over the power in Tuoba Mingzhu's hands and refused to even meet him. Although Tuoba Mingzhu is quite annoying, Tuoba Liang seems a little too ruthless like this.

Nangong Yuyue chuckled lazily and said, "What's the matter with her? Tuoba Mingzhu... The sad days are still behind, so let's watch it. I don't know how my little Ayi is. I miss her very much after several days."

“…”

Chu Ling's life in Xinzhou was much more comfortable than when he was in Pingjing. Although he did not have the luxury of the Princess' Mansion, he did not have so many things to worry about. Qin Zhijie was good at it, and the people's livelihood affairs in Xinzhou were well managed in his hands. Chu Ling's main energy was all in the army, and he would go to the army regularly to take a look every day and participate in the formulation of various training plans in the army. Gradually, the soldiers in the Jingbei Army also began to become familiar with the young general who was not in sight.

After Chu Ling selected all the young generals stationed in Xinzhou, the Xinzhou army finally convinced the young general. The soldiers in the army were indeed much easier to communicate with than the old foxes in the court. In most cases, they rely on their strength to speak, and if they can't beat them, they will beat them again.

However, news about Western Qin began to spread to Xinzhou. Tuoba Liang's secret orders to seize Western Qin's plan to seize Western Qin was not completely successful. Because Qin Shu, who had been assassinated in Shangjing halfway, suddenly arrived with the troops borrowed from Cangyun City and fought back the almost successful troops.

When Qin Shu's identity was exposed, the soldiers of the Clan were almost completely driven out of Western Qin by Qin Shu.

After receiving the news, Tuoba Liang was naturally furious. A large number of soldiers and southern troops began to gather on the border of Western Qin, and the near Cangyun City also began to become unstable. After all, in Tuoba Liang's view, it was Qin Shu and Yan Fengxiao who joined forces to fool him. Tuoba Liang directly threatened Qin Shu with Qin Xi who was under house arrest in Shangjing. Unexpectedly, Qin Shu ignored his threat at all and turned around to support Qin Xi's three-year-old eldest son ascended the throne.

It can be said that Qin Shu's operation slapped several beautiful slaps on Tuoba Liang's face. After all, everyone in the capital knew that Qin Shu was originally a confidant aide next to Tuoba Liang.

People who were not in harmony with Tuoba Liang laughed at Tuoba Liang for being arrogant and respectful to a prince of an enemy country, thinking that he could regain the hearts of others, but in the end, they turned around and beat Tuoba Liang's face without hesitation.

Tuoba Liang was so angry that Chu Lingyuan was naturally unaware of it in Xinzhou. Even if Qin Xi was in the end, no news came out. The news that Boss Huang could give them was just that there was no news of Qin Xi being killed. As for whether Qin Xi was secretly killed or locked up and where he was locked up, no one knew.

By the time Chu Ling received the news that Tuoba Liang was officially preparing to send a large army to conquer the Western Qin Dynasty, it was already early August.

Chu Ling has been staying in Xinzhou for the past few months, and the Jingbei Army has finally gradually completely controlled the hands of her, the young general. Even if she is restless occasionally, she dare not act rashly under Chu Ling's intimidation. In this way, Zheng Luo was completely liberated, and he mingled in the army with his own troops every day, feeling very leisurely and leisurely as if he was fish in water, even the smile on his face was a little more than usual.

"General, there is a young master Li asking for a meeting outside the mansion." On that day, Chu Ling was reading a book in the study room, and the manager outside the door hurried in to report. Chu Ling raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Li? Li Dan?" The manager nodded, "It's exactly this name." Chu Ling said, "Take him to the study room directly." After Li Dan was taken away by Jun Wuhuan, he had been away for several months, but Jun Wuhuan refused to tell her what Li Dan was doing. He just said that there was no danger. Chu Ling was really worried about him these days.

After a while, Li Dan followed the person in. Chu Ling waved his hand to send the manager away, and Li Dan bowed and said, "I have seen the princess."

Chu Ling waved his hand to signal him to sit down and talk. Li Dan took the order to sit down. Chu Ling looked at Li Dan curiously. Although Li Dan has become much more steady in the past two years, he is somewhat more young. Especially when he first arrived in the north, looking at the completely different situations on both sides of the Lingcang River, the young people's emotions fluctuated quite a bit. However, after only a few months, Chu Ling felt that Li Dan was much more steady. Not only was he calm, but he also had a little sharpness and murderous aura between his eyebrows. Chu Ling had no doubt that Li Dan had probably killed many people during this period.

It’s not that Li Dan has never killed anyone before, but... the suppression of bandits is different from killing people on the battlefield.

Chu Ling frowned slightly and said, "Jun Wuhuan asked you to go to Xiqin with Qin Shu?" Li Dan was slightly stunned. The young master said that he had not told the princess, how could the princess know? Chu Ling smiled and said, "Have you been on the battlefield recently? Now, there seems to be no battlefield for you except Xiqin. Are you injured?"

Li Dan felt a little embarrassed and shook his head and said, "Thank you for your concern, you are not injured."

Chu Ling nodded and said, "That's good. You are a scholar. Even if you go to the battlefield, there is no need to charge forward. Tell me, what did Jun Wuhuan ask you to do?"

Li Dan thought about it and said to Chu Ling one by one about the past few months. When he said this, a strange light flashed in the young man's eyes. Chu Ling could naturally see the excitement, excitement, pride and fatigue contained therein.

Jun Wuhuan borrowed Li Dan from him not because he wanted to hire people himself, but because Qin Shu needed to hire people. The matter of Qin Shu being assassinated in Shangjing was completed by Li Dan. After that, Li Dan followed Qin Shu to Cangyun City and then returned to Western Qin with Qin Shu. It can be said that Chu Ling was peaceful and leisurely in Xinzhou City in the past few months, but Li Dan had been to several places and had almost never had a stable life.

Western Qin has indeed not been very decent in Qin Xi's hands over the years. Qin Shu suddenly returned to Western Qin, as the King of Western Qin, but Qin Xi was left behind. This is not without criticism in Western Qin.

Even though Qin Shu was once the prince respected by everyone in the Western Qin Dynasty, when he left Western Qin for more than ten years, he could not have received all the joy and enthusiasm. After all, in this world, in addition to the rise and fall of the country, more people are concerned about their personal interests.

It was also because of this that Qin Shu did not choose to ascend the throne of Western Qin in the end, but supported his nephew who was only three years old. This was barely a balance. Even though he knew that this would be a constant source of trouble, now at this time, the throne within the Western Qin could no longer be in chaos. Li Dan has been following Qin Shu for the past few months, watching him leave from Shangjing and secretly sneak back to Western Qin with troops from Cangyun City, gradually taking back the land that was annexed by the Western Qin people. After his identity was exposed, he supported his nephew as the brother of the Western Qin Emperor and took control of the power in the court.

Li Dan felt that the past few months have passed more wonderfully than his life. He also learned a lot. In the words of Mr. Changli before he left Cangyun City and came to Xinzhou, "It doesn't matter how much you can help Qin Shu, what is important is how much you can learn with Qin Shu. What you have seen and learned these days will be enough to benefit for the rest of your life." Li Dan deeply agreed with this.

After hearing Li Dan's words, Chu Ling also felt that Li Dan was lucky. After all, such a thing is not something that anyone can encounter. Looking at the boy who has become much more steady in front of him, Chu Ling said curiously: "Jun Wuhuan asked you to come to Xinzhou for a special trip. Is there anything wrong?"

Li Dan nodded, took out a letter from his sleeve and delivered it with his hands, and said, "Princess, please look at it."

Chu Ling took it and saw that the envelope was printed with the seal of the King of Western Qin. It was obviously a letter from Qin Shu to her. He opened the envelope, took out the letter from it and looked at it and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Qin Shu wants to form an alliance with Tianqi and Cangyun City?" Li Dan nodded, "Yes, princess. Prince Qin... This is what the regent of Western Qin means."

Chu Ling smiled and found out that Qin Shu was already the regent of Western Qin?

"What do you say about Jun Wuhuan?" Chu Ling asked. Li Dan thought for a while and said, "Young Master Changli thought you could consider it, but it depends on what chips Xi Qin can take out. After all..."

Chu Ling knew that Qin Xi had been the King of Western Qin for more than ten years and had no achievements. Qin Shu had been a proton in Shangjing for more than ten years. He had not even used anyone to return to Western Qin. The soldiers and horses of Western Qin have never been very powerful. Even this time, they were temporarily rescued by Cangyun Army. It was really hard to figure out what chips Western Qin had to be enough to form an alliance with Tianqi and Cangyun City.

However... "This time the Northern Jin Dynasty failed to annex the Western Qin Dynasty, Cangyun City made an indispensable contribution. Is Cangyun City like this now?" Li Dan said: "The garrisons of the Cangyun City and the Southern Army are all thinking about mobilizing near Cangyun City. Young Master Changli said that no matter whether they form an alliance or not, there is a battle between Cangyun City and the Cangyun City."

Chu Ling nodded slightly and said thoughtfully: "If this is the case... I understand."

Li Dan looked at Chu Ling with some confusion, "Princess?" What did the princess know? Why did he still know nothing?

Chu Ling smiled and asked, "Do you want to go back to Pingjing or to Cangyun City first? Or..."

"Of course I stayed with the princess." Li Dan said.

Chu Ling nodded and said, "It just so happens that Xinzhou should be very busy lately."
