"Since I promised to save his life, I will definitely do it. However, I also have many ways to make his life worse than death. The news that he was caught by us must not be leaked. There are still many officials in the court who are his
This time, I hope to take this opportunity to eradicate all those who are secretly loyal to him." Luo Qingyan looked calm, but there was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.
Yun Shang turned her eyes, stared at Luo Qingyan for a while, and then said softly: "It's just that Xia Houjing is extremely cunning. Although he is in our hands now, I am always worried that he has another conspiracy. Moreover,
We want to know from Xia Houjing's mouth that those people are his, but I'm afraid it's impossible. Now that we're not in Jincheng, we can't know many things in time and respond quickly."
Luo Qingyan reached out and flicked Yunshang's forehead, with a hint of slyness in her smile: "It is precisely because we are not in Jincheng that they have relaxed their vigilance."
Yun Shang rubbed his forehead and glared at Luo Qingyan, with a thoughtful look on his face: "Xia Houjing must be eliminated. A person who can collude with foreign countries for the sake of the throne.
What can’t be done?”
When Luo Qingyan heard this, he smiled but did not answer.
The two were silent for a moment before Yun Shang asked: "Cang Jue Qingsu..."
As soon as the four words came out, Luo Qingyan couldn't help laughing. Yun Shang was a little confused by his laughter. She didn't know where she said something wrong. She looked at Luo Qingyan strangely: "What's wrong?"
Luo Qingyan probably had been lying down for a long time, and felt that his whole body was a little sore, so he simply sat up and said with a smile: "It's okay, just since I came back yesterday, I knew you must want to ask this,
It's just that you just said so much and never asked me, so I was a little surprised. When you asked me about it, I suddenly felt like I had finally waited."
Hearing this, Yun Shang reached out and pinched him, but she didn't want to pinch the wound. Luo Qingyan exclaimed. Yun Shang woke up and said sorry several times. Luo Qingyan smiled and patted his side.
He said from his position: "Come up here and let me give you a hug."
"What's wrong?" Yun Shang murmured softly, but he also followed Luo Qingyan's words, took off his shoes and lay next to Luo Qingyan. Luo Qingyan let Yun Shang rest on his arm, and Fang sighed and whispered softly.
Said: "Cangjue Qingsu escaped."
Yun Shang had already guessed the ending like this, so she was not surprised. Luo Qingyan pondered for a moment before speaking again, "I made a lot of preparations for that battle. The reinforcements originally took two people.
They could only arrive in a day and a half, but I ordered them to travel day and night to arrive at Huaiyin in advance, and I also strictly ordered the secret guards to watch and not allow anyone to pass on the news, just to avoid Cang Jue Qingsu's eyes and ears."
"And in the past few battles, I discovered Cangjue Qingsu's habit of sending troops, with shield troops in front, followed by archers, generals, infantry, and cavalry. This arrangement is to prevent our hidden troops on Langya Mountain from
Attacking from behind also gave us a chance. I asked the soldiers on Langya Mountain to capture almost all the wild animals on Langya Mountain. After starving for several days, when the battle between the two armies entered a critical moment, I asked Zhao Yingjie to lead troops from the north of Langya Mountain.
Went around behind Yelang's army and released those beasts."
After Yun Shang heard this, Fang suddenly understood why that night, the secret guard came to report that for some reason, the last cavalry of the Yelang Army suddenly got into trouble, and the horses rushed forward like crazy.
came out and disrupted all the enemy's formations. It turned out that it was because of this reason.
"After the enemy's formation was completely in chaos, I personally led the people out of the city. Cangjue Qingsu gave the order for the army to attack. I asked the whole army to shout in Yelang dialect that Cangjue Qingsu had been assassinated.
Run towards Phoenix Mountain. The Yelang Kingdom army panicked for a moment and ran towards Phoenix Mountain in a hurry. Cangjue Qingsu was helpless and had to follow him towards Phoenix Mountain. Then we took advantage of the chaos to pursue
, killed many people."
"Later, many Yelang soldiers were lost in the stone forest and dense forest. Cangjue Qingsu was attacked from all sides, and we almost caught him."
Luo Qingyan squinted his eyes, with a hint of coldness in his eyes: "It's a pity, it's just a little bit short. I never expected that when we were under siege, the troops deployed by the Yelang Kingdom in our army gathered together.
We secured an opening and then passed the code to Cangjue Qingsu, who then ran towards that place and finally escaped and was rescued by the reinforcements of Yelang Kingdom."
Luo Qingyan said it very lightly, but Yun Shang also understood the dangers involved. We were outnumbered and the enemy was outnumbered. We tried our best but lost this rare opportunity because of the military's meticulous work. It is not difficult to imagine that Luo Qingyan is
How upset.
Yun Shang stretched out her hand to hold one of Luo Qingyan's hands and said with a smile: "We have more than 200,000 people, which is tens of thousands less than the army of Yelang Kingdom, but we beat Cangjue Qingsu to the point where he lost his armor.
This lesson is enough for him to remember for a while. Moreover, in this battle, Yelang's army suffered heavy losses, and they may not dare to attack again for a while. If your Majesty wants to, it is not impossible to pursue the victory..."
Yun Shang said, then raised his eyes: "Your Majesty, do you want to take advantage of the victory and pursue it?"
Luo Qingyan pondered for a moment, then smiled and said: "In pursuit of victory, we will attack the Yelang Kingdom. Cang Jue Qingsu's ambition will not die. This is a matter of time, but not now. Now there are dangers everywhere, and the government has not yet cleared up
It’s over. The minister still has some wait-and-see mentality towards me. If the hearts of the people are not united, this battle cannot be fought.”
Yun Shang nodded lightly, and seeing a bit of disappointment in Luo Qingyan's expression, she softly comforted him: "Your Majesty, don't be disappointed. This is just the beginning, and there will be a long time to come. Now many of our internal affairs are still in place.
We haven't straightened it out yet, but when the government is a little more stable, we will go to Yelang Kingdom and make Cangjue Qingsu bow down and kneel down to plead guilty to His Majesty."
Luo Qingyan turned her eyes to look at Yun Shang, her eyes no longer filled with anger: "I never expected that my queen is actually a very ambitious person."
Yun Shang raised her eyebrows and snorted: "That's natural."
After saying that, Yun Shang fell silent again, and said after a while: "After this scene, Cangjue Qingsu's troops have been severely damaged, and he will not dare to invade for a while. Should we return to Jincheng?"
?”
Luo Qingyan nodded gently: "We will go back after I finish arranging things in Lingxi City. We can't leave Jincheng there for too long. If we leave it for a long time, I'm afraid that everything will change when we go back."
In fact, Yun Shang didn't really want to return to Jincheng, but she knew that it would be inevitable after all, so she agreed with a smile: "Then I ordered Peilan and the others to pack their things."
"Thank you, madam." Luo Qingyan hugged Yun Shang tightly, her voice a little hoarse.
"Your Majesty, General Qian is asking for an audience." Peilan's voice came from outside. Yun Shang frowned, sat up from Luo Qingyan's arms, stared at Luo Qingyan and said: "Your Majesty just agreed to my concubine.
Yes, I have a good rest today, I won’t see anyone, and I won’t deal with anything.”
Luo Qingyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and nodded: "Okay, we can't delay matters in the military. You go and see what's going on with him."
Yun Shang nodded, put on her shoes and stood up. She called Peilan in and combed her hair before going out. Qian Jun was waiting in the study, so Yun Shang took Peilan over.
"General Qian." After entering the study room, Yun Shang raised the corner of her mouth and smiled.
Qian Jun turned around and saw Yun Shang walking in. He quickly saluted and said, "I will pay my respects to the Queen."
Qian Jun was a rigid person who was always very polite. Yun Shang smiled, walked to the desk and sat down, then smiled and said: "General Qian, there is no need to be polite, please get up. Peilan, give General Qian a seat."
Peilan moved a chair, Qian Jun thanked him and sat down. Yun Shang glanced at Qian Jun and said, "Your Majesty was injured and caught in the rain. He had a fever last night and is now very weak.
I don’t know what’s going on with General Qian because I can’t come here? I’ll tell you the same thing.”
Qian Jun was stunned, and raised his eyes to look at Yun Shang. Yun Shang thought Qian Jun had a grudge against her, and was about to speak when she heard Qian Jun say: "Your Majesty, I have misunderstood. The general is here today.
I’m asking to see the Queen.”
This time, it was Yun Shang's turn to be surprised.
"See me?" Yun Shang blinked, not knowing what was happening in front of her.
Qian Jun nodded, laughed, stood up and saluted Yun Shang: "The general has offended the queen a lot before, please don't take offense."
However, Yun Shang couldn't remember when Qian Jun had offended her. She looked at Qian Jun with confusion in her eyes. Qian Jun then explained the purpose of his visit: "Last time when I was getting something for His Majesty, I was because of him."
The Empress was carrying soil out of the mansion in the middle of the night without anyone noticing, and after asking around and hearing that it was the Empress who wanted to dig a lake in the mansion, the general was extremely displeased with the Empress and came to warn the Empress even though he did not know what he was capable of."
Yun Shang couldn't help but laugh. She had already forgotten about this incident, but she didn't expect Qian Jun to make a special trip to apologize to her.
"Master Qian has performed his duties honestly and has done nothing wrong. Why do you need to apologize?"
Qian Jun shook his head and looked serious: "The general doesn't know that the empress is trying to deceive others. The general cannot imagine that the empress actually wants to dig a tunnel to lead to the Yelang Kingdom's army to save the emperor and the queen mother.
Lest we have to look forward and backward when we are marching and fighting."
Yun Shang was about to tell him that this was Luo Qingyan's idea, but Qian Jun did not give Yun Shang a chance, but continued: "In the battle on Phoenix Mountain, after the general knew that the ambush formation from ten sides was arranged by the Queen,
, I have great admiration for the Queen. She is a woman, but she is not inferior to men. This time, thanks to the help of the Queen, we were able to inflict such heavy losses on the Yelang Kingdom’s army. But the Queen’s proficiency in formations is unprecedented.
I thought of it, the general has always liked to study formations, I wonder if the queen can give me some advice?" (To be continued)
