Chapter 509: The True Buddha Temple and the Overseer
Although he knew that Jingtian Lie would come back sooner or later, and that the conflict between Long Chen and the Jing family would be resolved sooner or later, Di Luoxi still felt a big headache when Jing Tian Lie really came back.
"Isn't he guarding Jade Buddha Pass? Why did he come back suddenly?"
Xuanyi felt strange.
Jade Buddha Pass is the gateway between the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and Xixia Dynasty, with the Western Xia Dynasty to the west and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to the east.
Long Chen said: "Xixia has always listened to what the Tianxiahui said. I asked the Tianxiahui to take good care of Xixia, so the Jade Buddha Pass calmed down and Jingtianlie came back."
In the past, the relationship between the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and Xixia was tense, and a war might break out in the west at any time, so Jing Tianlie had to guard the border.
Now that the situation has eased, Jing Tianlie can return to the court to deal with Long Chen.
"It turns out we helped him."
Qingyue muttered.
Di Luoxi didn't want to see Jing Tianlie either, but as a princess, she couldn't deliberately conflict with Xixia just to contain Jing Tianlie.
Long Chen smiled and said: "Don't be so nervous. This time, we are hunters and he is the prey."
Di Luoxi reminded: "Jing Heng is a fool, but Jing Tianlie is not. This person is highly skilled in martial arts and has a cunning mind. You have to be careful when dealing with him."
Long Chen smiled and said: "I know that strategically, we must despise the enemy, and tactically, we must pay attention to the enemy and be bold and careful."
There is no need for Di Luoxi to remind him. Being able to become a general of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and even give face to the empress, such a person is certainly powerful.
When Long Chen was in Nanliang, he specifically analyzed Jing Tianlie's character and weaknesses. He was very powerful, but a person who was too powerful would be overconfident.
Di Luoxi was still worried, so she got up and wanted to go to Fengming Palace: "I want to tell my mother in case you are in danger."
Long Chen stopped Di Luoxi and said, "What do you say? Tell Jing Tianlie not to kill me? This time the chess player is the Holy One, and I am the forward chess piece. You want me to hide behind?"
The empress wanted to weaken the power of the General's Mansion, but she couldn't do it herself. The one who confronted Jing Tianlie head-on was Long Chen.
How could the vanguard general be hiding behind it?
Zhang Qian said: "Jing Tianlie is at the Holy Master's place."
Di Luoxi sat back cross-legged, thinking about how to deal with Jing Tianlie.
"Princess, you can't interfere in this matter. I will take care of everything."
Long Chen said very solemnly.
Di Luoxi got angry and said, "Am I not going to get involved? Are you going to die?"
Long Chen was speechless: "You just look down on me so much?"
"The princess must avoid danger in this matter. If the princess interferes in this matter, it means that the royal family will fall out with the Jing family."
"Even if Jing Tianlie and I have a falling out, it's still a political fight between ministers. It's normal."
Di Luoxi just has a hot temper, not an unreasonable person.
Di Luoxi naturally knew what Long Chen said.
"Then be careful, Jing Tianlie will be difficult to deal with."
Di Luoxi could only sigh and agree.
Long Chen stood up and said, "I'll go back and prepare."
Long Chen got out of bed, put on his shoes and walked out. Zhang Qian followed.
Di Luoxi immediately ordered Xuan Yi and Qing Yue: "You two will follow Long Chengen during this period and never leave. Even if you sleep, you must hold me tight! Don't make any mistakes!"
Xuan Yi and Qing Yue immediately followed.
Fengming Palace Study Room.
The empress sat behind the desk, with a general standing in front of her.
This man is tall and tall, with a square face and a pair of phoenix eyes that are calm and intimidating. He is wearing red armor with flames painted on it, a saber hanging on his waist, and the cloak on his body has not yet been taken off.
This person is none other than Jing Tianlie, the great general of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
"I will finally pay my respects to the Holy One."
Jing Tianlie just bowed his hands and did not bow down like other ministers.
"General, I will give you a seat without any courtesy!"
Yingfeng moved a chair over and sat down opposite the empress.
"The general returned to the court without saying anything. Is there any problem with Jade Buddha Pass?"
The empress' voice was calm, without emotion or anger, but with a sense of accountability.
The general is out guarding the border. How can he come back as soon as he says he will come back?
Jing Tianlie said with an apologetic tone: "General Mo is guilty. He only rushed back because he received a letter from home a few days ago saying that my mother is seriously ill."
"A general should not leave his post without permission, so he should apologize to the Holy One as soon as he comes back."
The empress frowned and asked Yingfeng: "Is Mrs. Xu seriously ill? How could I not know?"
Jing Tianlie's old mother has always been taken care of by people from the imperial hospital, who gave her the best doctors and the best medicine.
If Mrs. Xu is ill, the empress will personally take care of her to show her preferential treatment to Jing Tianlie.
Yingfeng was also surprised and replied: "I have never heard that the old lady is unwell."
Jing Tianlie was slightly surprised and said: "Perhaps my mother doesn't want to alarm the Holy Emperor. There are too many things going on in the court at these times. The minister has been changed and several big battles have been fought."
After saying this, the atmosphere suddenly became a little subtle.
Changing the minister means replacing his son Jing Heng.
Several big battles were fought, and naturally we are talking about the two battles when Long Chen captured Linjiang City.
Yingfeng's expression changed slightly next to her, but the empress' expression remained as usual and she said, "That's right. There have been too many things going on in the court recently. Maybe I was negligent."
"General, please go back to your home for a visit first. If you have anything to do, we'll discuss it with you in the morning."
"Yingfeng, arrange for the imperial doctor to go with the general. These people are really unwell. I didn't know that the old lady was unwell. Give me a good scolding!"
Jing Tianlie started talking, but the empress didn't answer, and just gently led him away.
Yingfeng bowed and said, "I obey your order."
Jing Tianlie stood up and bowed: "General, I will retire."
The empress didn't answer, and Jing Tianlie stopped talking.
Jingtianlie left Fengming Palace and went home, and Yingfeng immediately arranged for the imperial doctor to go there.
Ying Feng returned to Fengming Palace and said, "Your Majesty, Jing Tianlie came back this time with three thousand elite cavalry. This is a bad intention."
The empress' face was calm and not angry.
"What's the use of three thousand cavalry? It's just a demonstration. Let it go."
There are 100,000 elite soldiers near Daughter City, directly under the command of the Empress. Jing Tianlie's 3,000 cavalry are of no use.
Jing Tianlie did this, the symbolic significance is greater than the practical significance.
"My subordinates just asked the imperial hospital. The imperial doctor ordered that Mrs. Xu's body and bones are fine. This Sedum is bullying you."
When Yingfeng arranged for the imperial physician, she asked about the situation. The imperial physician ordered that Mrs. Xu was in good health.
The empress smiled and said: "If he says he is seriously ill, then he is seriously ill. It doesn't matter."
Yingfeng was dissatisfied, but with the empress's attitude, she couldn't say much.
"Long Chengen, do you want to remind me?"
Yingfeng asked.
Just now, Jing Tianlie started to target Long Chen.
The empress shook her head and smiled: "He still needs you to remind him?"
Yingfeng thought about it. In terms of cunning, Long Chen was as cunning as a ghost.
Jing Tianlie came out of the palace with a gloomy face. A dozen soldiers in full armor were waiting outside the palace, all with arrogant and fierce eyes.
What is particularly eye-catching is the flame pattern on the armor, which is the symbol of the Jing family's Red Flame Army.
Jing Tianlie came out, and the soldiers came up quickly.
Just as he was about to mount his horse and leave, a carriage stopped in front of him, and the soldiers immediately held down their swords.
The curtain opened, and a woman wearing a white mink fur and carefully applying makeup came down.
"The general came back without telling him anything."
This person is none other than Bai Qiulian, Minister of the Ministry of War.
When he learned that Jing Tianlie was back, Bai Qiulian quickly put on makeup and came to meet him.
Seeing Bai Qiulian, Jing Tianlie's gloomy face turned into a smile, as if he had met his old sweetheart.
"Qiu Lian becomes more and more radiant."
Hearing Jing Tianlie's praise, Bai Qiulian smiled brightly and said with a shy smile: "How can you compare to the might of the general."
Jing Tianlie glanced at the palace gate and said, "You and I are riding in the same car. Let's talk slowly."
Bai Qiulian blushed and laughed softly: "It couldn't be better."
