423 Invasion of the Barren Country

On the 92nd day of the great turmoil, the Hulao Pass was breached, the eldest princess was defeated and retreated to the Yaohe River, and the news that the army of the Huang Kingdom marched straight in to invade the Song Dynasty reached the capital. The court was shocked, and the civil and military officials were in an uproar.

The previous turmoil in the Southwest, the Nanyang Rebellion, the Eighteenth Route Princes' Rebellion, etc., in the final analysis, can be regarded as civil strife.

But the invasion of the wilderness was an invasion by foreigners, so the meaning was completely different.

If the desert country were to attack, they would be slaves to the country's subjugation.

They were panicked, completely panicked.

Nowadays, there are rebellions in the country, and it is necessary to mobilize troops to quell the rebellion. The eighteen princes were suppressed a few days ago and suffered heavy losses. Now the desert country is aggressively attacking, and the company commander Princess's Tianlong Army is no match. How should we deal with this?

In the morning, everyone was noisy and blushing.

"I have long said that when the Huang country attacked Hulao Pass, troops should be sent to support it. Now it's okay. Hulao Pass is lost, and the army of the Huang country directly marches into our territory."

Before Hulao Pass was breached, the imperial court received news of the Huang Kingdom's attack on Hulao Pass, but at that time the country was suppressing a rebellion and had no time to take care of it.

"How to send them? Where will the troops come from? The prefectures and counties north of the Yao River have already been dispatched by the court. If they send troops, whether they can reach Hulao Pass is another matter."

"What should we do now? Our army has just been crippled and we haven't had time to rest and recuperate. How can we fight against the army of the Desolate Country?"

"Now we must send troops to support immediately. Although Hulao Pass is lost, the eldest princess's Heavenly Dragon Army is still there. We must protect the eldest princess's Heavenly Dragon Army. Only by preserving our strength can we fight against the Huang Kingdom."

"Who is going? Are you going? What if we send troops to the capital?"

"You...are so angry to me..."

"..."

When the desolate country attacked, all the ministers were immediately panicked, even more panicked than when the eighteen princes invaded.

After all, if the eighteen princes came to Beijing, and if Zhao Jiang was ambitious, he would definitely want to control the court and would need the support of aristocratic families.

Under such circumstances, it was impossible for Zhao Jiang to massacre all the ministers.

But Huang Guo was different. Every time Huang Guo invaded the border, they would first loot and then leave. Therefore, they did not need the Song Dynasty's team, and the ministers would have no value.

At that time, it will really be people who work for the knife and Zu, and I will work for the fish and meat.

"quiet!"

"Sujing——"

The eunuch waiting above saw that Zhao Chong was not bothered by what he heard, and immediately shouted twice at the top of his voice.

The uproar in the court became somewhat quiet.

Then he looked at Xiao Yunqi in front of him.

After Xiao Yunqi was silent for a while, he said, "Let's wait until General Huangfu comes back."

The number of men and horses in the capital is really insufficient now, because if support is needed, the number of men and horses must not be less than 100,000. In that case, there will be no need for support.

And these words are obviously not what the ministers want to hear. The Huang Kingdom has already invaded their home, can this wait? They should fight back immediately.

But now Xiao Yunqi has the final say in the entire court. He has said so, what can the ministers do?

Soon, the court meeting ended.

From beginning to end, Chen Mo never said a word.

He didn't want to cause too many mishaps, lest he ruin his appointment to Nanyang. Only in Nanyang would the sky be high and the emperor be far away, and the sea be vast by leaping fish.

By then, even if he and Xiao Yunqi really fall out, it will be enough to deal with it.

...

On the other side, for Hu Meier, the news of the massive invasion of the Wild Country also made her face darken.

Because the invasion of Huangguo will disrupt her plan, the restoration of the Southern Zhou Dynasty will become even more uncertain.

"Inform Diewu and give her two more days. If she still hasn't found any clues about Chiyang Bell, let her withdraw it." There was no result from the Chen Mansion, which made Hu Meier a little worried. Could Chen Mo have already

I found a clue about Diewu. Otherwise, why would there be no clues for so long?

"No." A black shadow retreated from the screen.

...

After returning from the palace, Chen Mo did not go out, thinking that Miaozhen was not favored yet, so he walked towards Miaozhen's room.

As soon as she entered, Luo Zhen, Zhao Jiangning, and Yi Yao were playing mahjong in her room.

This made Chen Mo stunned: "Why did you go to Miaozhen's room to play cards?"

Luo Zhen tilted her head slightly and replied: "Wan Qiu, Sister Ruoqing, Lianyi, Chunlan and the others played another table in Wan Qiu's room."

Now there are almost enough women in the house to play three tables of cards.

Chen Mo nodded, then came over and picked up Xu Miaozhen, and then said to Luo Zhen and the others: "I have something to do with Miaozhen, do you want to play mahjong with three people? Or ask Qiulan and the others to fill the gap."

After saying that, he hugged Xu Miaozhen and put him on the bed. Regardless of Luo Zhen and the others, he took off the embroidered shoes on Miaozhen's face and began to bully her for a while.

This made Miaozhen extremely embarrassed: "Madam, are they... still there?"

Xu Miaozhen has become accustomed to calling Luo Zhen his wife.

"It's okay, let's go about our business." Chen Mo unbuttoned Miaozhen's clothes and got busy.

This made the three Luo Zhen girls blush.

At the back, the three women all joined in.

...

In Ye Wanqiu's room, the sound of bamboo cards clashing was constant. Chunlan was more courageous. She looked at Jiang Ruoqing opposite and said while playing cards: "Sister Ruoqing, how do you and your wife get along now?"

This is a very embarrassing question.

But Ye Wanqiu and Lianyi on the side pricked up their ears, very curious about this kind of thing.

"Just get along with each other how you want to get along." Jiang Ruoqing said, without giving a direct response at all.

"Sister Ruoqing, have you and your wife ever accompanied the master?" Chunlan looked at Jiang Ruoqing with curious eyes.

"No." Jiang Ruoqing said without blinking, and then asked: "Where are you and Xia Lan, Qiulan, and Donglan?"

Chunlan was not as good at hiding as Jiang Ruoqing, and her face immediately turned red.

It is already self-evident.

Ye Wanqiu and Lianyi both widened their eyes.

So wild?!

Jiang Ruoqing glanced at Ye Wanqiu and Lianyi: "You two were also harmed by him."

The two women blushed and said nothing.

"Nanfeng." Jiang Ruoqing played a card, and then said: "Are the sisters in this backyard still intact?"

"Su Mu is," Chunlan said, "and Zhu Ying, and Bu Qingping should be too, but the master said he doesn't want to accept them."

Chunlan dared to say anything.

This made Jiang Ruoqing open her mouth. Has she always been so stupid? Dare to say anything?

She didn't ask any more questions, lest she learn something earth-shattering again.

But just because Jiang Ruoqing didn't say anything, it didn't mean that Chunlan didn't ask.

"Sister Ruoqing, I heard that the daughter-in-law of the Wu family went to Qinyang County to meet the master in person?"

Jiang Ruoqing nodded: "What's wrong?"

"Jiangnan is thousands of miles away from Qinyang County. The eldest daughter of the Wu family traveled all the way to Qinyang County to meet the master. How much does she like the master? It seems that the two of them have never met before, right?"
