Longying laughed and said: "Yes! We can ask Suo Ge to hand over the Master Chan. If he refuses, we will use the knife on Tu Qi, even if there is no excuse?"
Feng Guoting said happily: "This means that evil people will be punished by evil people."
Long Ying lost his voice and asked, "Am I a villain?"
Wan Renyu said: "You are not a bad person, you are an evil person. Ha!"
Feng Guoting said: "We're here!"
The four of them looked ahead, and the gods appeared in the distance where the rising sun shone.
The navy ship disembarked outside the Dingding Gate of the divine capital. Wu Zhao Longjia came in person to welcome the returning soldiers. Then an entry ceremony was held. With the guards clearing the way, Wu Zhao and Long Ying rode slowly together. Lou Shide, Zhang Jiujie, Yang Xuanji Hefeng Guoting followed closely behind the two men and was welcomed by thousands of people who flocked to Dingding Street with great joy.
Wan Renyu and Huangyuan Wu quietly left. The former did not want to participate, while the latter rushed to meet the girl.
People kept throwing lighted firecrackers in front of the procession, making crackling sounds. The smell of gunpowder and fireworks filled the long street, adding to the excitement and washing away the decadent atmosphere since the defeat at Kip Shek Valley.
This wild victory gave people hope for the future for the first time. From then on, they could reconcile with foreign tribes without having to cede territory and pay compensation. It also filled the only regret of the Empress of Zhou's lack of external achievements.
Wu Zhao proudly sat on the horse, smiling and waving in response to the crowd's shouts of long live. Whenever she waved her dragon hand, the crowd's cheers reached its peak, which further demonstrated the fact that she was loved by the masses.
Long Ying did not dare to stand side by side with her and fell two steps behind, feeling mixed emotions in his heart.
Every inch of the eight-mile long road from Dingding Gate to the end gate of the Imperial City was made by Wu Zhao with great hardships. After nearly forty years of fierce struggle inside and outside the palace, he led the army to kill Zhongzhong and He. Sun Wanrong's head and Wu Zhao's throne are as stable as Mount Tai. No one can shake them. The rest depends on how to deal with the super overlord Mo Chuan outside the Great Wall. The succession to the throne is still a key issue, and now it can be said that the Zhongsect has the upper hand. But Wu Zhao's wishes and the counterattack of the powerful Wu family's children were still the source of instability in the Zhou Dynasty. He had experienced Wu Zhao's fickleness many times.
After entering the imperial city, under the auspices of Wu Zhao, they first went to the Wanxiang Shrine to hold a ceremony to worship the heaven.
This is the first time Longying has set foot in this huge palace, which is half the size of the Guanfeng Hall, the main hall of Shangyang Palace. Giant pillars decorated with golden dragons rise from the ground, mainly with dragon and phoenix patterns. Beautifully carved floor tiles and colorful paintings The screen wall has brackets and beams decorated with glazed components, and a three-story white jade staircase rises from the south end. The lower hall of the shrine alone is more open and sacred than any main hall in the palace, and has a myriad of atmospheres.
All the children of the Wu family were present, but not Li Dan and his relatives. It can be seen that although he is the prince, he is still ignored.
After offering sacrifices to heaven, there is offering sacrifices to ancestors, but it is to offer sacrifices to the ancestors of the Wu family, which is held at the Ancestral Temple in the southeast corner of the imperial city. After the offering ceremony, a state banquet is held, and at the same time the whole city celebrates. The atmosphere is as lively as the Chinese New Year.
Until midnight, the celebration of the victory was still in full swing. Long Ying was eager to meet his wife, and after asking about Wu Zhao, he promised to meet her in the imperial study room tomorrow morning. He immediately left. Of course, he did not dare to miss the country elder Di Renjie, and made an appointment to meet Wu Zhao tomorrow morning. Afterwards, I went to Guolao's Mansion to visit him and hurried back to Gantangyuan.
Longying opened his eyes. What he saw was the familiar dome of the mosquito net. It was ordinary but kind. The person in his arms squirmed a little. He had not yet woken up.
From the moment he entered the capital of the gods through the Dingding Gate until he woke up now, reality and dreams blended together, making it difficult to separate them. He did not see Princess Taiping and did not want to ask about her whereabouts. He also did not see Shangguan Wan'er. , according to Eunuch Rong, she was on a business trip under Wu Zhao's order, but she didn't know what she was doing.
What he wants to see most now is Duanmuling and the little witch. He just wants to go to the imperial study room to meet them later.
Just as he was about to get up, Renya hugged him tightly and said coquettishly: "My husband is not allowed to get up."
There were only two of them on the bed. Last night, the three girls thought he was staying out all night, so they went to bed separately, so he favored them one by one, and finally took Qiao Renya back to the room to enjoy the pleasure of sex.
Renya closed her eyes and murmured in her sleep: "We were all so happy to know that your husband came back victorious from the war. The Holy Father originally wanted us to attend the state banquet, but the fat father-in-law told the Holy Father that it was best not to let us show up in public. In the end, the Holy Father gave the fat father-in-law
Convinced.”
Long Ying thought that the fat father-in-law was thoughtful and tried not to let outsiders see Renya. Renya's amazing beauty, which I felt pity for, could drive lustful men crazy. And until today, he has owned this beauty for a long time.
After a while, he still lost control when he saw her. He said: "I want to see the Holy One!"
Renya opened her delicate and beautiful eyes, twinkling, and a mischievous smile emerged from the corner of her mouth, and said: "You promised to take us three sisters to ride horses outside the city tomorrow morning, so Renya got up with you."
Long Ying turned around and pressed her down, laughing: "How dare you threaten my husband? Was the punishment I gave you last night not harsh enough?"
Renya smiled and said: "Are you afraid of you? Oh!"
Suddenly the whole room is filled with spring.
Long Ying shouted in his heart, finally home!
When Long Ying came outside the Imperial Study Room, he had the illusion that he had never left the Divine Capital or been outside the Great Wall. At the same time, he thought of those who were in the Divine Capital, how could they have imagined that the front line was such a terrifying place.
Eunuch Rong came up to us and said, "Your Majesty has just arrived and is waiting for Master Ying. They are all married! I don't know how popular they are."
Long Ying still couldn't wrap his mind around it and asked puzzledly: "Who is married?"
Rong Gong said fairly: "It's Liu Mei and the others!"
Long Ying said happily: "Who are you marrying?"
Rong Gong said impartially: "It's important to see the Holy One. I'll report it to Lord Ying later."
Long Ying climbed up the stone steps, and the guard guarding the door shouted loudly, stood at attention, and saluted. His attitude was obviously different from before, and he was much more respectful.
Long Ying gathered his emotions and entered the royal study.
Wu Zhao looked out the window, thoughtfully.
Long Ying came up behind Wu Zhao and saluted: "The common people pay their respects to the Holy One."
Wu Zhao said calmly: "How is the Evil Emperor?"
Long Ying was stunned and speechless for a moment.
Wu Zhao turned around the dragon's body, with high spirits and a pair of phoenix eyes shining brightly, and said: "The evil emperor of our holy sect is indeed an invincible commander on the battlefield. Not only did Jinzhong and Sun Wanrong behead and execute them one by one, but the Turks also ate them.
I have suffered a big loss. Now I have two letters of credence in my hand, one from Hu Huo and one from Li Zhiji, expressing surrender to me, the Great Zhou Dynasty. With the evil emperor helping me, what can't I do?"
Long Ying was most afraid of Wu Zhao's appearance. What should she do if she wanted to support Wu Chengsi to ascend to the throne of crown prince? He said hurriedly: "In fact, the victory this time is extremely dangerous. Not only are we not the opponents of the Khitans,
, let alone the enemy of the Turks. Please see clearly, Your Majesty."
Wu Zhao said displeasedly: "Why did the Evil Emperor say this? Our great victory is an ironclad fact."
Long Ying stated the truth and said calmly: "The defeat at Xiashi Valley had a profound impact on our military strength in the Great Zhou Dynasty, causing us to lose a large number of well-trained regular troops. The hastily made-to-order army not only lacked training and experience, but also
And most of them are prisoners who were forcibly recruited to serve as soldiers. The soldiers have no fighting spirit and are basically a mess. They cannot withstand the test of a long-term war. Fortunately, now they have some breathing time. As long as they have five peaceful years, Guo Yuanzhen can cultivate a new generation of great soldiers.
The elite troops of Zhou were in trouble at that time. But this time it was the Khitan and Xi people who really defeated the Turks, not our Zhou army."
Wu Zhaolong's face relaxed slightly, and he nodded and said: "It's rare for you to win without being arrogant, but now that our troops are greatly reduced, why don't we take advantage of the situation to pursue them and miss the opportunity?"
Long Ying sighed: "The Turks are too big, and most of them are bitter cold and arid places. Frost will fall in three days, and winter is coming. Now we must take advantage of this opportunity to reorganize the army and strengthen the defense of the border fortress."
Wu Zhao said: "Evil Emperor!"
Long Ying knew that she had something important to say, so he responded: "Xiaomin is here!"
Wu Zhao said: "I don't care what method you use, you must raise your head to see me."
Long Ying knew that she hated Mo Chui for taking the opportunity to lie to her, so he agreed in a loud voice: "I will do this for the Holy Lord."
Wu Zhao took two steps forward and threw himself into his arms. Dragon's lips kissed him heavily before letting him go. He walked towards the dragon table and said casually: "How does the Evil Emperor want me to reward you?"
Long Ying turned to her Long Bei and said: "If something happens to the Holy Sect, of course the common people will go through fire and water, and they will do whatever they want, so why do they need rewards?"
Wu Zhao turned around like a whirlwind, his eyes flashed with strange light, and said: "Until now, I have the feeling that you are indeed a member of my sect. Do you really regard yourself as a member of the holy sect?"
Long Ying affirmed word by word: "As long as I can make the Holy Sect famous forever, I, Long Ying, will be a member of the Holy Sect."
Wu Zhao said: "What are you planning to do next?"
Long Ying said: "I have to go to Tubo. I hope the Holy Spirit can grant me the right to bargain with the Tubo people."
Wu Zhao said: "As long as the evil emperor is willing to make a promise and promise to do his best to make the Wu Dynasty continue in your lifetime, I can give you the military power to lead the expedition on your behalf."
Long Ying said dejectedly: "If Xiaomin agrees to the Holy One, it will be useless for the Holy One to give Xiaomin any rights. First of all, Wan Renyu is unwilling to fight side by side with Xiaomin. Without his Jing Zhongyue, Sun Wanrong's head will not be what it is today. It hangs high outside the imperial city."
Wu Zhao said angrily: "Why can't you support me wholeheartedly?"
Long Ying sighed: "The Holy One should understand the situation better than the common people. Those who follow the people's will win, and those who go against the people's will lose. How many people can the Holy One kill?"
Wu Zhao said coldly: "I want you to go back and think it over carefully, and come back here tomorrow morning to tell me the answer."
Long Ying thought that if he continued to talk, he would only have a big quarrel with her. He really didn't expect that he would break up with her for the first time after coming back and leave on bad terms.
When he walked out of the study, it was Ling Yu who held Xueer for him. Seeing his cheerful face, he knew that his newlywed life with Juju was very happy.
At this time, Eunuch Rong was called into the study by Wu Zhao, exchanged glances with him to talk later, and hurriedly entered the room. Ling Yu let go of the horse's reins and walked side by side to the gatehouse with him, but couldn't help but look back and follow him obediently. Xue'er from behind looked at her and said, "Xue'er's eyes and coat color have changed. It's so weird! It turns out that horses can also change."
Long Ying spent time with Xue'er day and night, unaware of its changes. He thought that it must have been affected by demonic energy. Of course, he didn't point it out and casually responded: "It is indeed becoming more and more spiritual." Cha Kai said: " Is it okay to lift?”
