"It's just -" Long Chang also sighed, Qing Geer looked at his side face with a pang of autumn water, his face was as handsome as white jade.
"I forced him to death! Shangguan was right. If it weren't for my jealousy, in order to break Shangguan's prophecy, I repeatedly put pressure on General Zhan, forcing him to swear a life-and-death oath——
He vowed not to repay Xiangguo without destroying him... but now he is actually forced to die for his country..." His proud eyes dimmed.
"Your Majesty..." Qing Geer was confused. Is he still the ruthless demon who killed his father and his brother? Maybe she can take out the short blade in her sleeve now and get to know him unprepared. This is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
, since there were no guards around, he also relaxed his vigilance towards her, but she couldn't bear to take action...
"Qing Geer, I'm sorry for you!" That was an apology with dignity as an emperor.
"Your Majesty, no..." She panicked for a moment and her mind went blank. This was not the result she wanted.
"I am sorry for you before and now, but I will never let anyone hurt you again." Long Chang also supported her and spoke slowly, as if to make a promise.
"Your Majesty..." Qing Geer felt that he already knew something, but he hesitated to speak.
"Don't worry, I will personally finish what General Zhan has not finished. Qing will be fine, and Qing Geer will live well!" He said extremely firmly, returning to the arrogant and inhumane person.
"Rong Lan, Your Majesty, what can you do?" Shangguan Chuque was surprised by his patience.
"The emperor has been resting in Fenglin Pavilion to accompany the queen in the past few days. What does the teacher think the emperor should do?" He was caught between two smart people and was in a dilemma. Both of them were silent. If this continues, could it be possible?
Does the emperor really intend to hand over Qingdu? Does Shangguan Zuo Prime Minister not care about it? He actually wants to relieve the emperor's worries, so he visits Shangguan Mansion almost every day these days, just to get some advice from Shangguan Zuo Prime Minister.
policy.
"Where is Jinxiu's army estimated to be?" Shangguan asked while sipping tea and playing chess.
"We've arrived at Fengxian County. We're going at full speed. I'm afraid we'll be at Qingdu City in five or six days!" What Zheng Ronglan said was true. Shangguan Chuque knew that there was no obstacle from Zhan Baizhi and relied on Jinxiu Shangyi's fighting ability.
, I am afraid that no one can defeat him except Xuanyuan. Therefore, it is entirely possible to capture dozens of cities in Zhao Kingdom in just half a month.
"..." Shangguan Chuque stared at the chessboard with all his heart.
"Teacher, please come up with a countermeasure for Zhao Guo!" Zheng Ronglan was anxious. What time was it? He still had time to drink tea, play chess, and live like a leisurely cloud and wild crane.
"Pa--" The last white chess piece was settled, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of Shangguan Chuque's mouth - the overall situation has been decided! The simplest way to close the door in Go!
…………………………………………………………………………………… (dividing line)
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Splendid Army has camped two hundred miles outside Qingdu City!"
Long Chang's expression did not change, and he looked at Shangguan Chuque beside him with a calm expression. The latter looked like it had nothing to do with him, and he bowed lazily and sat down again.
"Explore again!" Zheng Ronglan was worried at the side.
"Have you arranged everything?" Long Chang also asked.
"When have I ever disappointed the emperor?" Shangguan Chuque smiled, and that smile was chilling.
"Your Majesty, the city guard officer Jie Gao has abandoned his weapons and surrendered. The Splendid Army is currently a hundred miles away from Qingdu City!"
The two faced each other, speechless. Zheng Ronglan wished she could drag them out to see the current situation with her own eyes.
"Your Majesty, let's move the car!" Xiao Qinzi asked carefully.
"Explore again!" Long Chang also spoke.
"Your Majesty, it's fifty miles!" When the messenger stood at the door again to announce, people in the palace were already panicking. Many eunuchs and maids fled in all directions. The palace was in chaos and the noise was soaring to the sky.
Taking a breath, Long Changyi finally slowly opened his eyes, raised his eyes to look at Shangguan Chuque opposite, the two nodded slightly, looked at each other and smiled - the time has come!
"Xiao Qinzi, inform Wei Qing to arrange for the queen and all concubines to evacuate from the south gate of Qingdu. Make sure everyone is safe!"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Xiao Qinzi immediately exited the hall.
"Emperor? Mentor?" Zheng Ronglan looked at the tacit understanding between the two people in front of him, and he was puzzled. Now that Qingdu is at the feet of Jinxiu Shangyi, if he is forced to evacuate, doesn't he give up Qingdu?! Zhao Why did the country end up like this? He himself is about to become a slave to the country's subjugation.
"Qingjie, Qingdu is right in front of us!" Jinxiu Shangyi saw that his wish for these years was about to come true, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion in his heart.
"Well, how many soldiers have we sacrificed for this day..." Fan Qijie was full of sentimentality.
Jinxiu Shangyi turned a deaf ear and looked at him, "Long Chang should be mourning for his Long family at this time."
"I think Long Chang is not an ordinary person." Fan Qijie said sincerely.
Jinxiu Shangyi pondered for a moment, "It's not him I'm worried about."
"Um?"
"Qijie, have you ever heard of the famous Zuo Xiang in the Zhao Kingdom?" Jinxiu asked.
"Uh... The emperor is talking about the treacherous prime minister Shangguan Chuque who is despised by everyone? It is said that this man is cunning, cunning and extremely vicious. He is interested in getting in on all loyal ministers and righteous men to bring disaster to the nine tribes. This man is a He is a cancerous tumor, and the people of Zhao Kingdom are all far away from him, but for some reason Long Chang also regards him as a treasure and uses it."
"Long Chang is not stupid, I really want to see how he resists..." Jinxiu Shangyi sighed.
"Um?"
"How did the investigation go with what I asked you to do?"
"Back to the emperor, Taifu He's family had been casually accused of treason by Long Wuchen, the then Emperor of Zhao State, 17 years ago, and all of them were executed. The whole family of 114 except for He Ruoqin was rescued by the late emperor. The He family's The whereabouts of the eight-year-old son are unknown, and no one else survived."
"Long Wuchen really did a lot of evil. Even if he was cut into pieces with a thousand swords, it would not be enough. It's a pity that he didn't die in my hands." Jinxiu Shangyi looked up.
"I ordered the whole camp to go down and set up camp to rest. After an hour, you lead a team of troops into the city to check the truth. Once confirmed, send someone to pass the news immediately. I can't wait to stand on the majestic Qingdu City Tower and overlook the scenery. Already."
"Yes, as ordered."
The cool breeze swept away the fallen leaves, raising layers of white sand and sweeping them over. The large red paint plaque with "Qingdu City" in large characters was crumbling on the city wall. The surrounding weeds were rustling and the wind was blowing, but there was no human breath at all. It was as quiet as death.
Fan Qijie led his army to the city gate, but he did not dare to enter the city. He frowned slightly. Could it be that Long Chang also set an ambush here? After all, how many soldiers and horses did Zhao Kingdom have? He was not meticulous about everything.
Understandably, he was secretly hesitating whether to go in or not. The lieutenant beside him made a suggestion. It would be better to wait until he reported back to the emperor, and then the emperor would make a decision. Fan Qijie thought about it and felt that this was an idea, so he ordered someone to rush there immediately.
Deliver orders to the camp fifty miles away.
Not long after, Jinxiu also led his army to stop outside Qingdu City. He was always cautious and suspicious and did not let go of any clues outside the city. Judging from the current situation, Long Chang was not planning an empty city, but Qingdu City.
It seems that all the troops have been evacuated. Maybe Long Chang is also very angry and does not want to evacuate the capital, but those ministers who are greedy for life and fear of death do not agree. This is related to the lives of their families, and they will definitely persuade their king to give up a
Celebrate the capital and then make long-term plans.
But he still felt uneasy, and suddenly a wretched figure flashed through his mind. By the way, why not let his soldiers from Zhao Kingdom enter first?
Not long after, Jie Da, the city gate official of Feng County, was brought to the front. He was hunched over his back and said with a flattering face: "Your Majesty, do you have something important to do when you summon me?"
"I heard that you once said frankly that you were in Zhao Kingdom and your heart was in Xiang Kingdom. Is this the case?" Jinxiu Shangyi looked scornful.
"Indeed, I am absolutely loyal to the Kingdom of Xiang, and I am devoted to His Majesty King Xiang." Jie Da immediately showed an honest and cunning look.
"Well, now, I have a small meritorious task for you to do. Can you do it?"
"Yes, of course I can..." The villain was immediately overjoyed. He was so proud that he was being reused just after joining the country of Xiang.
"I order you to lead your city defense troops into Qingdu City first, deploy everything, and wait for our army to be stationed in the city." Jinxiu Shangyi rode on a horse, tall and straight, and said condescendingly.
"Ah... It's true. I accept the decree. Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Your Majesty for using him..." This is a fat job. As far as he knew, the officers and soldiers in Qingdu City had already evacuated the city in a hurry to protect the immature Xinhuang. At this moment,
Qingdu City is probably empty of people.
"Go." A smile flashed in Jinxiu Shangyi's eyes. If Long Changyi really set an ambush in the city, then the soldiers of his Zhao Kingdom would be killed; if he had already left, then he would really
After fulfilling his wish for these years, maybe he can start his life again with peace of mind and no longer think about the person deep in his memory.
Jetta led more than a hundred soldiers eager to give it a try. They were a little cautious at first and advanced in small steps without daring to relax at all. However, after dozens of soldiers successfully entered the city, the rest of the soldiers started to boldly go for it and filed in one after another.
There will be cheers from the soldiers, "They have all withdrawn, and Long Chang has also left!"
"Your Majesty, all the guards in Qingdu have been withdrawn." Jetta immediately stepped forward to accept the reward.
"Hahaha..." Jinxiu Shangyi suddenly laughed loudly, turned over and dismounted, took off the black blisters on his body, and only wore a gray outfit, looking very energetic, "Fan Qijie, send the order, speed up the entry into Qingdu City! I want to be here
There will be a banquet and wine in the Long family's palace to reward the three armies."
"Yes, I obey the decree!" Fan Qijie couldn't hide the relief in his heart. This time the expedition was successful, the emperor could fulfill his long-cherished wish and return to the awe-inspiring and rational emperor he once was.
"Pah - what's going on?! The entire Qingdu city can't even make thirty altars of fine daughter's red? Also, this meat, this dish! Are you just using these rotten meat and leaves to reward me with wind and blood?"
Are you going, soldier? Jetta, get out of here—" Jinxiu Shangyi roared angrily, causing everyone's scalps to tingle in shock, and they all kowtowed and apologized.
Jie Da also trembled and lay down in front of the main hall of the palace, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it seems that Qingdu is located in the middle reaches of the river section, and the water comes from the top down. Long Changyi's troops stationed in the upper reaches of the river section first, digging
The river was cut off, causing the water source in the city to be cut off, the food to be transported away, and the livestock to be left behind. Now it is..."
"You want to tell me that what I am guarding now is just an empty city?!" Jinxiu Shangyi's slightly narrowed eyes exuded a dangerous aura.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..." Jetta wiped his sweat frequently.
"Damn Long Changyi, Shangguan Chuque!" Jinxiu clenched her fists and waved her arms upward, "哐——" The precious vase that had been preserved for thousands of years fell down with a sound. Everyone did not dare to express their anger, but lowered their heads and trembled.
Standing aside.
"Your Majesty, what should we do now? In the humble opinion, we should withdraw from Qingdu and make plans again..." Fan Qijie boldly approached.
Jinxiu Shangyi supported his forehead with one hand and leaned tiredly on the imperial chair, as if he was drowsy. Time passed by bit by bit. After a long time, when everyone thought that the emperor had fallen asleep, he wanted to secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
At that moment, he said quietly, "Do you think we can retreat?" His voice was slightly hoarse and low.
"Your Majesty?" Fan Qijie was startled, and he suddenly realized what was going on. He hurriedly called his lieutenants to go outside the city gate to find out what was going on.
Jinxiu Shangyi suddenly stood up with all his strength, "I was so smart all my life, but I was confused for a moment. Because of the illustrious achievements along the way, I got carried away and forgot that Qingdu was the capital of Zhao Kingdom. How could he, Long Changyi, give up so easily! Now...
I’m afraid Long Changyi’s army has already arrived outside Qingdu City and has surrounded this empty city that is short of food and water..."
The soldiers who went to inquire hurriedly walked in and whispered into Fan Qijie's ear. Fan Qijie's face suddenly turned pale - Long Changyi had indeed forced them into a desperate situation. If the Zhao army did not attack but defended, then they
As long as they can be patient and defend for ten days and a half, they can capture all the hungry Xiangguo soldiers without any effort!
"Ah?! What Emperor Xiang means is that the troops of Zhao State have surrounded us?!" Seeing the changes in General Fan, he must have arrived at the city. Jieda, who was kneeling beside him, also saw the clues.
His face turned pale, and he murmured to himself, "What should I do? What should I do? Emperor Zhao must know that I have taken refuge in Xiangguo. No, I don't want to die, right! If I plead guilty, there may be a chance of survival..."
"Oh, do you still want to go back?" Jinxiu Shangyi asked in a low voice without any warmth.
"Go back, go back -" Jie Da muttered, then met Jinxiu's fierce eyes and immediately trembled with fear, "No, no, I am loyal to Xiang Guo, and I have the same heart for you, the Emperor!"
"Absolutely unbiased?! Okay, then go die for my Xiangguo!" As soon as he finished speaking, the red blood sword was stained red with blood. The person who was talking just now slowly fell down in an instant, and above the main hall, No one dared to say anything wrong.
"These are extraordinary times. I believe that if we all work together, we will be able to get through this. But if I know that someone dares to have second thoughts about our country, then he - that will be your fate! Hmph -" Cha - The sword was sheathed, and Jinxiu Shangyi walked away with a flick of his sleeves. Fan Qijie watched all this and quickly followed.
"The emperor and Shangguan Chuque really have a good understanding of each other. They have thought of the same thing, and their cooperation is flawless. Fortunately, I even broke out in a cold sweat for the emperor -" Xiao Qinzi said to the emperor after learning about the emperor and Shangguan Chuque's plan. The master's admiration is even greater.
Long Chang also smiled and said nothing, and stood up with difficulty. Although this plan was very good, if it went wrong, it would fall short. With Jinxiu Shangyi's suspicious and cautious personality, if he hadn't let the victory go to his head, he would have discovered it. It's weird, they won because of Jinxiu Shangyi's pride.
"Your Majesty, you haven't slept for three nights. Why don't you get some rest early? My servant will guard this door for you and not let anyone enter the camp. Let the Emperor have a good rest." Xiao Qinzi is Long Changyi's eunuch since he was a child. He is also the most considerate chamberlain that Long Chang also uses.
"Where is Shangguan Chuque?" I'm afraid he was afraid of meeting Princess Jingyi and deliberately avoided it.
"Then we have to ask Princess Jingyi. Wherever Princess Jingyi is, the Prime Minister must be nearby." Xiao Qinzi beat Long Changyi's back with quick eyesight.
"Shangguan, Shangguan, as a member of my royal family, is it really so difficult for you, or do you have something to hide?" Long Chang also sighed.
"Your Majesty, why don't you call the Queen here and play a song for the Emperor to soothe your tense mind over the past few days?" Xiao Qinzi's eyes lit up and he suggested.
Long Changyi's face twitched slightly, and then his slender fingertips slid across the flawless jade seal without leaving any trace, and he muttered, "That's good."
"Hey, okay!" Xiao Qinzi trotted out of the tent with a poop on his back. He was very enthusiastic about doing such a good thing for the emperor's benefit.
After a while, Qinggeer was wrapped in goose-yellow gauze, with a fluffy white fur coat draped over his shoulders. Long Chang also picked up the tea cup on the desk, and Qinggeer picked up the money and came in, holding it in his hands. Playing the pipa, he approached with his head lowered and his eyebrows furrowed, "Your Majesty, what song do you want to listen to?"
"It's okay." Long Chang also said.
Half-covering her face with her hand on the pipa, she lowered her eyebrows and played with her hands. This music and this scene were heart-warming. Looking at her pure and pure face, his thoughts began to slowly fade away - another one has been lingering clearly in his heart. Her face gradually emerged, her charming and charming appearance that touched people's hearts, her stubborn expression that never refused to admit defeat, her extremely agile figure swayed in front of his eyes again and again, she was the first, and also The only woman who can make him dream about her!
The sound of the pipa in the camp stopped at some point. Qing Geer slowly stood up and came to him - he was sleeping so soundly and was defenseless. Her slender jade fingers caressed his handsome cheek, Touching his sword-like brows and crossing the high bridge of his nose, "Your Majesty, why don't you summon the Queen and play a song for Your Majesty to soothe your tense mind over the past few days?" Xiao Qinzi's eyes lit up, suggested.
Long Changyi's face twitched slightly, and then his slender fingertips slid across the flawless jade seal without leaving any trace, and he muttered, "That's good."

Her face gradually emerged, her
Zhang's heart-touching Qingling appearance, her stubborn look that would never give in, and her extremely agile figure swayed in front of his eyes again and again. She was the first and only one who could capture his soul.
The dreamy woman!
The sound of the pipa in the camp stopped at some point. Qing Geer slowly stood up and came to him - he was sleeping so soundly and was defenseless. Her slender jade fingers caressed his handsome cheek,
Touching his sword-like brows and crossing the high bridge of his nose,
