Di Lingyi followed Yingfeng back to the palace, and was about to go to Fengming Palace when Di Lingyi suddenly stopped and asked, "Is Luo Xi here too?"
Yingfeng thought for a moment and said, "Maybe."
Emperor Lingyi immediately said: "You go first, I will go back to the palace to change clothes."
Yingfeng smiled understandingly and took the first step.
Entering the imperial study room, Di Luoxi was indeed listening to the order.
"Where's Ling Yi?"
Seeing Yingfeng coming in, the empress asked.
Di Lingyi said: "The third princess will come over soon. She is still not feeling well."
Di Luoxi asked: "Third sister has been ill in the palace all winter. The last time I went to see her, Wen Shuzhen wouldn't let me in."
"What's wrong with Third Sister? Is it so serious?"
"Mother, will the third sister be okay?"
Emperor Lingyi announced that he was ill and did not see anyone or go to court.
Di Luoxi went to the North Palace once, but Wen Shuzhen said that Di Lingyi's illness was very strange, and she was not allowed to enter for fear of infecting Di Luoxi.
The empress laughed and said, "I guess I caught the cold when I was guarding Yanmen Pass. I sent the imperial doctor there, and he said he's almost recovered."
Di Luoxi felt strange and asked: "Isn't it a long time since Yanmen Pass? Why are you getting sick now?"
The empress said: "The root of the disease is the root cause. It will be fine now that it is cured."
Di Luoxi did not continue to ask, but waited for Di Lingyi to come over.
Two daughters are competing for a man at the same time, one is engaged and the other is stealing.
It is difficult for the Empress, a mother, to be a human being in the middle.
Emperor Lingyi had done everything, and the empress could only hide it for Emperor Lingyi.
Not long after, Di Lingyi walked in slowly. His face looked a little pale and his speech was not very strong.
"My son, I pay my respects to my mother."
Emperor Lingyi bowed before him. When the empress looked at Emperor Lingyi's appearance, she couldn't help but smile to herself: She's pretending well.
"Sit down, I've been sick all winter."
Emperor Lingyi thanked him and sat down next to him.
Di Luoxi asked worriedly: "Third sister, are you okay? Why is it so serious?"
Di Lingyi glanced at Di Luoxi guiltily, pretended to cough, and said, "It's okay."
The man who stole his sister, Di Lingyi felt guilty as a thief and did not want to talk to Di Luoxi anymore.
The empress said: "Okay, let's get down to business. There is a war at Jade Buddha Pass. Nanliang and Xixia are allies, so there will definitely be trouble in the south."
"What I want is for you two to rush to Linjiang City immediately and hold on to it, but don't send troops."
Emperor Luoxi bowed and said, "My son, I accept the decree."
The empress looked at Di Lingyi and asked, "Is your health important?"
Emperor Lingyi immediately said: "It doesn't matter, everything is fine, I will set off immediately."
Di Luoxi looked at Di Lingyi's weak look and said, "How about Third Sister wait."
Di Lingyi immediately said: "No, it's all fine. It's been a winter."
The empress smiled, but did not expose Emperor Lingyi's lies, and said: "Okay, you go and bring your own generals."
Di Luoxi and Di Lingyi got up and left the imperial study. They immediately ordered their generals, packed their things, and rushed to Linjiang City.
After the people left, the empress leaned on the royal couch and asked: "How is the investigation going on that matter?"
Yingfeng said: "The clues are too long, and it is difficult to find out clearly."
"However, the leader of the Changsheng Sect has come down the mountain."
The empress' expression changed and she asked: "Where have you gone?"
Yingfeng shook his head and said, "I don't know."
The empress thought for a moment and said, "Go and check and see what they are doing down the mountain."
Yingfeng bowed and said, "Yes."
....
Nanliang, Imperial Palace.
Xuanjizi came out of Xuanji Observation Hall and walked quickly to the imperial study room.
The breath of spring is getting stronger and stronger, and the gentle spring breeze blows on the face, making people feel warm and drunk, and the bones of the body are relaxed.
The birds on the branches were chirping and jumping around in pairs, which was very lively.
"Taoist Master."
Xuanjizi was about to walk through a corridor when he heard a soft voice.
Xuanjizi immediately stopped and turned around, bowing respectfully: "I have seen Concubine Mei."
The clothes Mei Fei was wearing were much thinner at this time. The apricot yellow and sky blue clothes complemented her plump, white and tender skin, and the flesh on her body felt as if water could come out of her just by twisting it.
In front of such a tender concubine, Xuanjizi was unmoved and did not even take a look.
"Does the Taoist priest want to meet the saint?"
"Yes, the superior will ask Pindao to go over and discuss the matter."
"Oh, Taoist Master, please be busy."
"Pindao, please retire."
Xuanjizi turned around and continued walking to the imperial study room without any intention of stopping.
Concubine Mei watched Xuanjizi leave, and continued walking to the garden with the maid.
Xuanjizi entered the imperial study room, where both Yu Fuguo and Yu Ziming were present.
"Taoist Master, please sit down."
Xuanjizi thanked him and sat down next to him.
Li Chengdao said: "I just got the news that Long Chengen killed Deshan and captured Zhenguo Temple. This guy really took action."
Xuanjizi just raised his head and glanced at Li Chengdao, without showing much surprise.
"Long Chengen took action, and the fight went... very smoothly. Tell me, what are your plans?"
Yu Ziming, the Minister of War, said: "Your Majesty, the ministers suggested that we immediately send troops to attack Caishi City and Linjiang City to contain the Eastern Zhou Dynasty's forces."
"Now I, Daliang, and Xixia are like each other's lips and teeth. If our lips die, our teeth will be cold. We must not let Long Chengen destroy Xixia."
Li Chengdao looked at Yu Ziming and asked: "Yu Shangshu, do you think Long Chengen can destroy Xixia?"
Xuanjizi and Yu Fuguo looked at Yu Ziming.
Yu Ziming's face was solemn and he bowed: "Your Majesty, Long Cheng'en is a very treacherous and evil person, but a person who is very treacherous and evil must have great wisdom and courage."
"Judging from the battle at Zhenguo Temple, Xixia probably has no one who can rival it. Deshan, Kong Ji's junior brother, was unexpectedly killed on the spot."
"Moreover, in the battle of Zhenguo Temple, Xixia lost 170,000 to 80,000 soldiers, while Eastern Zhou suffered less than 10,000 casualties."
"I have never seen someone who is so good at using soldiers, so I have to prepare for the worst."
As the Minister of War, Yu Ziming already made a judgment in his mind after reading the battle report.
Yu Ziming's words made Li Chengdao feel cold.
Li Chengdao was a capable emperor and knew very well about fighting.
After reading the battle report, he also felt that Long Chen was very powerful, but he did not want to believe that Long Chen could really destroy Xixia.
Now that Yu Ziming said this, Li Chengdao's luck was broken, and he felt very heavy.
"Taoist Priest, what do you think?"
Li Chengdao sighed secretly and looked at Xuan Jizi.
Xuanjizi said: "I still don't know very well..."
Li Chengdao turned his head and glanced at Zhong Gui, who immediately gave the battle report to Xuan Jizi.
After Xuanjizi saw it, he said solemnly: "Your Majesty, Zhenguo Temple is the gateway to Xixia, and Deshan is the eminent monk and general of Xixia."
"The battle at Zhenguo Temple was so brutal. The fate of Xixia's country... is unpredictable."
Li Chengdao sighed slightly and said, "Does the Taoist priest also think that Xixia will destroy the country?"
Xuanjizi was silent, he couldn't speak directly.
Xuan Jizi did not expect that Long Chen could capture Zhenguo Temple at such a small cost. He underestimated Long Chen's ability.
Li Chengdao nodded slightly and said, "Okay, let's take the end of Xixia's fall. What should we do?"
Yu Ziming said: "If Long Chengen destroys Xixia, he will definitely head south and attack our Daliang."
"Although Long Chengen fought well in the battle at Zhenguo Temple, he relied on sneak attacks, and future battles may not go so smoothly."
"Wei Chen still suggested sending troops to Linjiang City and Caishi City to contain the Eastern Zhou forces so that Long Chengen would not receive reinforcements."
"With only 200,000 Long family troops, he will not be able to conquer Xixia within a few years."
"At the same time, launch an attack in Linjiang City and Caishi City to consume the Eastern Zhou's troops and defeat the elite of the Eastern Zhou."
"It took such a long time and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was exhausted, so things will turn around."
Li Chengdao nodded slightly and asked Xuan Jizi: "What do you think, Taoist Master?"
