After the empress asked the question, no one spoke. The matter was already finished.
"Then retreat."
The empress stood up, and Di Waner followed her to the inner court.
At this time, Yingfeng suddenly walked in, holding an urgent report in his hand and an excited look on his face.
"Your Majesty."
Yingfeng presented the urgent report in his hand to the empress.
The minister, who wanted to leave the court and go home, stopped and waited to see what urgent report was coming.
The empress stopped, stood on the stage and opened the bamboo tube and sealing mud. After unfolding it, the empress' eyes became hot and a smile spread on her face.
"My dear friends! King Wu has sent us good news!"
The empress happily sat back on the phoenix chair, waved the battle report in her hand, and said with a smile: "King Wu attacked Zhenguo Temple at night, killed Deshan before the battle, killed more than 90,000 enemies, and captured 80,000. Zhenguo Temple is already in the hands of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
!”
After the empress finished speaking, Di Luoxi, who had been distracted, suddenly became energetic and happily ran up and grabbed the battle report from the empress' hand. After reading it carefully, Di Luoxi happily threw herself into the empress's arms and said with a smile: "Mother, empress
, he did it, he really won!”
It was unethical to do this in the court, but the empress did not rebuke, and the ministers did not say anything.
They were shocked by the news.
"Isn't King Wu... practicing at his residence?"
"It turns out that King Wu has arrived at Jade Buddha Pass, and he is not in the capital at all."
"Oh, King Wu is King Wu, and he has taken back Zhenguo Temple again!"
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, I, the Great Zhou Dynasty, have opened the door to Xixia."
"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
The empress was very happy. She hugged Di Luoxi and said with a smile: "Okay, get up and see how happy you are. I'm so afraid that I won't be able to get married."
Di Luoxi got up, returned to the train, stood up, and bowed to the empress: "Congratulations, empress."
The empress sat down and said happily: "A few days ago, King Wu secretly went to Jade Buddha Pass. He didn't expect to capture Zhenguo Temple so quickly."
"We killed 90,000 enemies and captured 80,000 prisoners. Our army suffered less than 7,000 casualties."
These words once again shocked the ministers of the DPRK, and Wang Wei, the Minister of War, was dumbfounded.
The minister of the DPRK caused a sensation.
"Less than seven thousand casualties? King Wu is too powerful."
"To kill Deshan on the spot, it must have been a fierce battle. Our loss was only 7,000?"
"Why doesn't this sound reasonable?"
After the shock, the minister began to suspect that Long Chen had lied.
Wang Wei, the Minister of War, came out and paid homage: "Your Majesty, what King Wu has said...is unreasonable."
Everyone knows that Wang Wei and Long Chen have a bad relationship.
At this time he should stand up and speak.
The empress smiled and said: "I know you don't believe it, and I don't believe it either, but that's just it."
"Read the battle report to all your dear friends."
Yingfeng received the battle report and recited the battle process. All the ministers praised it as wonderful.
"No wonder the loss is so small. It turns out that King Wu used a clever trick."
"I should have thought that King Wu is best at using surprise soldiers."
"If it were a head-on battle, our army would suffer at least 100,000 casualties."
"No, the Long family army is elite, and 50,000 casualties are enough."
While everyone was still discussing, the empress said: "Everyone!"
The ministers fell silent, and the empress continued: "King Wu won a great victory at Zhenguo Temple. The war between the Great Zhou Dynasty and Xixia has begun, and the Great Zhou Dynasty has entered a state of war."
"Wang Shangshu, the Ministry of War immediately mobilized all forces to ensure the logistics of the Long Family Army."
Wang Wei, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, immediately paid homage and said: "Wei ministers accept the decree."
The empress then said to Di Luoxi: "Li Chengdao has signed an alliance with Shi Le. The war in Xixia has begun, and something will happen in the south. You should prepare to rush to Linjiang City immediately."
Di Luoxi bowed and said, "My son, I accept the decree!"
The empress stood up and said, "Okay, everyone, please go back."
The empress turned and entered the inner court, followed by Yingfeng and Di Waner.
"Call Ling Yi back and have her and Luo Xi prepare to go to Linjiang City."
Yingfeng immediately went to Linglong Pavilion to find Emperor Lingyi.
...
Prince Wu's Mansion.
He Juntao quickly walked into the backyard and found Su Yourong.
"Aunt, are Zhang Qian and the others still in retreat?"
Su Yourong nodded and said, "Here, Qianqian and the others are helping Tingting practice."
Zhang Qian, the three who have already broken through to the Martial Emperor realm, are helping Bai Tingting and Wu Xiangyun to practice, hoping that they can break through as soon as possible.
None of the other martial arts practitioners would want others to break through, but the five of them were of the same mind.
This is the advantage of living together. Although we only have one husband, there is no barrier between them.
"Tell them to come out immediately. Your Excellency has returned with a message."
He Juntao was from Xichang, so the news about Feng He naturally came to her.
Su Yourong knew that He Juntao was responsible for delivering the news, so he immediately went to another courtyard to open the secret room.
Zhang Qian and the other five were practicing, but Su Yourong didn't dare to rush them and could only wait nearby.
After an hour, Bai Tingting woke up from her trance.
"Are you ready?"
Su Yourong asked softly.
Zhang Qian asked: "What's wrong, aunt?"
Su Yourong said: "Jun Tao said that your Excellency has returned with a letter, and it's for you."
The five people heard about Long Chen's letter and immediately came out of the secret room.
When they arrived at the study, He Juntao was walking around anxiously.
"What did your husband say?"
The five people asked as soon as they entered the door.
He Juntao said: "Your Excellency started a war with Xixia. He killed Deshan in Zhenguo Temple and occupied Zhenguo Temple."
"Your Excellency said that Shi Le will definitely take revenge and asks you to go to Zhenguo Temple as soon as possible to meet him."
"This time, I will go with you."
"Aunt, Prince Wu's Mansion is entrusted to you."
Su Yourong immediately said: "Don't worry, I can't help you in the war. You don't have to worry at home."
He Juntao said: "Let's pack it up as soon as possible. I'll go out and set off soon after I come back."
Zhang Qian and the other five immediately packed their things.
He Juntao went out on horseback and arrived at Rugui Inn.
After entering the door, the waiter greeted warmly: "Madam, do you want to stay in the hotel?"
He Juntao didn't talk nonsense and said directly: "I am from Prince Wu's Mansion and I am looking for your shopkeeper."
The waiter immediately changed his expression and said, "Please come with me."
After going up to the second floor, the waiter walked to the door of a room and knocked carefully.
"Shopkeeper, someone from Prince Wu's Mansion is here."
"Come in!"
The waiter opened the door and He Juntao saw Meng Lan standing up and looking at the door.
He Juntao walked in and the waiter closed the door.
"What's the matter? What kind of wind brought you here?"
Meng Lan smiled and stood up to say hello.
"Hey, please sit down and talk."
Meng Lan was about to pour tea for He Juntao, but He Juntao said, "You're welcome."
As he said this, he took out a bamboo tube from his arms and said, "Please pass on Mr. Shen, King Wu's letter."
Meng Lan immediately put down the teapot, took the bamboo tube, and asked: "What's wrong with King Wu?"
He Juntao knew that the relationship between Long Chen and Meng Lan was unusual, but she did not dare to make any assumptions. She just said, "Forgive me, shopkeeper, but I can't say more."
Meng Lan nodded and said, "Okay, I won't stay in charge anymore."
He Juntao bowed his hands, opened the door and went downstairs to return home.
Meng Lan took the bamboo tube and went out. The groom immediately prepared the horse, and Meng Lan took the carriage into the Jujin Hall.
After getting off the carriage, I happened to meet Youxuan directing the waiters to do things.
Seeing Meng Lan get out of the car, Youxuan glanced coldly but did not say hello to Meng Lan.
Meng Lan didn't bother to pay attention to this bitch and walked directly to the attic.
Seeing Meng Lan going upstairs, Youxuan immediately asked, "What are you doing here?"
Meng Lan ignored it and went straight upstairs, with Youxuan quickly following behind.
When they arrived at the attic, Meng Lan pushed the door open and saw Shen Wanjin talking to Heifeng.
"Owner, Long Chengen's secret letter."
Meng Lan immediately presented the bamboo tube, and Youxuan followed.
Shen Wanjin took the bamboo tube and Meng Lan immediately left the room.
Shen Wanjin opened the bamboo tube and Youxuan walked over. Shen Wanjin glanced at Youxuan and said, "Go out and do your work."
Youxuan was unhappy, but she didn't dare to disobey, so she had to leave the room.
After opening the bamboo tube, Shen Wanjin quickly browsed it and said with a shocked expression: "This guy actually succeeded?"
