Chapter 560: By My Young Master's Order, I Came To Greet The Empress
Chapter 560
"...Okay, please pay attention, Mr. Wang. I'll be waiting outside the door."
After that, the three eunuchs and the four trembling palace maids all walked out of the house. Queen Xiao, who was left with a confused look on her face, and Wang Zhong, who was uneasy in his heart.
"Wang Daban, do you want to tell the Ai family..." Before Queen Xiao could finish her words, she heard the sound of banging coming from outside the house.
Queen Xiao couldn't help but change her face slightly, and Wang Zhong, who was holding the stick, quickly raised the stick in front of her.
Then, after two or three breaths passed, Master Duan walked into the house with a calm face.
"You, you..." Queen Xiao couldn't help but widen her eyes, raised her finger, and pointed at this young man in black clothes dressed as a nocturnal person.
Seeing Master Duan walking in safe and sound, Wang Zhong finally breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, and quickly turned around to salute Empress Xiao.
"Your Majesty, he is Master Duan, Yang Qian's personal attendant."
Master Duan bowed respectfully to Empress Xiao in the tunnel.
"The Eastern Capital is left behind. Commander Yang Qian of the Jingnan Army and his personal soldier Duan Shizi have come to pay their respects to the empress on the order of my young master."
"Yang Qian...you, is he here?" Empress Xiao, who had been blocked and knew nothing, couldn't help but her eyes turned slightly red. After a long time, she suppressed her excitement and asked in a low voice.
"The Ai family has been in this city for nearly half a month. Since they left Jiangdu County, they know nothing about the outside world..."
After hearing Queen Xiao's words, Master Duan nodded.
"Exactly, my young master has led the army to surround the rebels in Tan City. Yu Wenhuaji, Yuwen Zhiji, they have already spread their wings and cannot escape."
"The villain was ordered by my young master to enter Tancheng first to protect the empress, so that the soldiers of Youtun Guard can have time to kill the guards outside..."
Master Duan didn't speak fast and his words were dry, but he was still coherent.
Seeing that this young attendant who looked very young and seemed very low-key when staying by Yang Qian's side in the past, was actually able to sneak into the city and even sneak into this heavily guarded mansion.
It really made Empress Xiao a little more curious, and she asked about what happened outside during these days. Duan Shizi's story made Empress Xiao relax and couldn't help but sigh.
She never imagined that the world would be in such chaos.
"In the past when the Ai family was within the confines of the palace, they had heard that the world was in chaos, but they never thought that it would become such a mess."
Duan Shizi glanced at the empress Xiao who still had charm, and replied seriously.
"My young master said that your Majesty only likes to hear good things. He will definitely get angry and annoyed when he hears offensive words."
"As time goes by, no one dares to tell the truth in front of His Majesty. As a result, how can His Majesty know the world when his ears and eyes are blocked?"
Queen Xiao couldn't help being stunned and raised her eyes to look at Master Duan.
"These words were spoken by my young master in private. My young master once said them when he was in Yanmen."
"If Your Majesty is guilty of a crime and is punished lightly, and if he does not reward you for his merits, it will definitely lead to great disasters."
"..." Queen Xiao looked at Master Duan, and the smile on her face gradually dimmed.
She naturally knew about this matter. After all, His Majesty was really angry at that time and made a lot of complaints in the harem.
Originally, Empress Xiao also felt that those two guys might be exempted from the death penalty, but at least they should be severely punished.
But what was the result? He was actually confiscated as a slave and handed over to Yu Wenshu for discipline. Even she couldn't stand such an operation, but His Majesty just didn't want to listen to anyone's advice.
"Duan Xiaoqing's family, please tell me, what has your young master done these days?"
Master Duan honestly told what happened after his son Yang Qian led the Jiangdu Army to leave Jiangdu County.
Although he was not good at words, he at least explained what happened very clearly. Empress Xiao could only shake her head or sigh.
I never thought that my grandson Yang Tong would be stupid enough to listen to a scoundrel like Duan Da and exclude Yang Qian, the pillar of the country, from the Eastern Capital.
However, Yang Qian did not ignore Dongdu, and even defeated the bandits in Wagang Village to turn the tide.
And when he heard that Dongdu had received the news of the emperor's death, King Yang Tong of Yue couldn't wait to ascend the throne as emperor and reward officials lavishly.
When she actually sent people to Luokou City to seize Yang Qian's military power, Queen Xiao's face was really wonderful.
Master Duan continued. "By the way, I later received news that His Royal Highness Yang Youyi, who was staying in Chang'an, ascended the throne in Chang'an when he received the news of His Majesty's death."
"Afterwards, I heard that His Royal Highness the King of Yue of Dongdu had also ascended the throne as emperor, so he sent an envoy to rebuke him, ordered the King of Yue to depose him as an emperor, and cut off all the officials of Dongdu..."
"His Royal Highness the King of Yue from the Eastern Capital sent envoys to appease Li Mi to resist His Highness the King of Dai in Chang'an..."
"That's enough..." Queen Xiao waved her hand feebly. "You'd better tell me about your young master. The Ai family really doesn't want to hear anything else."
Why are my grandchildren a bunch of brainless idiots, and at this time, they are still arguing like this and intending to kill each other...

"Brother Kaiyuan, how are you?" Liu Zhi opened the door and welcomed Dugu Kaiyuan into the room and asked impatiently.
"It's done, that fellow disciple and his eighteen men are like bats, and the guards can't detect them at all."
Liu Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, clenched his big hand into a fist, and waved vigorously.
"Come here, hurry up and inform the brothers in the city, send a signal, and tell the Jingnan Army that everything is ready and waiting for them."
"Also, all brigade commanders and captains, keep an eye on your brothers. Once there is any movement on the city wall, we will move forward along the previously determined route."
"Send skilled archers to the front. Once they encounter soldiers patrolling the city, they will all be killed to clear the way for the brothers who follow."
"promise!"
Under the city and in front of the camp, Li Shimin, who volunteered to observe the signal, waited for nearly half an hour. Finally, he saw a certain position on the top of the city and began to set off a signal with a lantern.
After the opponent repeatedly signaled several times and the people from the city responded with signals, Li Shimin excitedly rushed straight into the Chinese army's tent and reported to Yang Qian.
Soon, the Wanjun Thunder Car position in the Jingnan Army Camp began to become lively, and the craftsmen began to adjust the load and angle according to the distance observed by the technical officers.
To ensure that the city wall near the Tancheng gate can be hit as accurately as possible.
At first, the preparation was to bombard the city gate directly, but considering that we had to break into the city in time, the best way was to bombard the city wall near the city gate.
Drive away the defenders on the city, creating convenient conditions for the army to approach and destroy the city gates, and break into the city.
The sky was still dark, but when it loomed like a bright gap in the east, a sergeant loudly reported to Yang Qian, who was already wearing armor and standing on the high platform.
"Commander, the friendship between Yin and Mao has arrived."
