Chapter 332 Zhao Guan’s family laughed at Concubine Cao, and Li Yuanhao was so angry that he showed his spirit
Half a quarter of an hour later, the eunuch reported to Emperor Xia that the imperial carriage and the cavalry guard of more than a hundred imperial guardsmen were ready...
Li Qianshun said: "Pass the decree, the imperial chariot will come outside this palace, and the Royal Forest Army cavalry guard will be waiting outside the palace."
"According to the decree..."
In helplessness and pain, Li Qianshun reluctantly sent Concubine Cao out of the palace in person and boarded the carriage. The two looked at each other and cried.
Imperial Concubine Cao's heart was as sharp as a knife, and she burst into tears.
She didn't want to be sent to the Song camp in such humiliation.
She hated the injustice of fate, hated the shameless lust of the Emperor of Song Dynasty, and secretly hated Emperor Xia's ruthlessness...
Li Qianshun held Cao's jade hand and looked at her affectionately, his eyes full of reluctance and helplessness, and his heart full of resentment and pain.
He knows very well that the current situation is stronger than others, and he has to reluctantly give up his love.
However, every time he saw Mr. Cao's pear-shaped face, his heart felt as if it had been cut by a knife.
He said softly and sadly: "My dear concubine, within five days, I will hear the good news that Zhao Ji, the dog emperor of the Song Dynasty who was personally conquering the Song Dynasty, died in the army. At that time, I will definitely fulfill my promise and make your father king. , hereditary disregard!"
Cao's heart was shocked. Leng Xue was so smart that she could naturally understand the deep meaning of Emperor Xia's words. If she could complete Emperor Xia's plan to poison Emperor Song within five days, then her biological father would be granted the title. What if not?
My natal family and the entire Cao family will definitely suffer...
Xia Emperor Li Qianshun is trying to coerce and lure his concubine!
Under the current situation, Mrs. Cao did not dare to disobey, she nodded heavily and said:
"I will definitely fulfill His Majesty's secret decree! Live up to His Majesty's expectations!"
"However, I dare not expect my father to be crowned king."
"After I have completed your Majesty's secret decree, if my father can be made a prince by Your Majesty, I will die in peace."
Li Qianshun nodded heavily and said: "I am ready to play! Take care, my beloved concubine!"
After he finished speaking, he turned around decisively, tears streaming down his face, and strode straight back into the hall.
Two quarters of an hour later, another eunuch carrying the edict led Xia Guoyi and the envoy who had returned from the Song Dynasty, panting into the palace to meet Emperor Xia...
Li Qian Shunping retired from the eunuch and spoke to the chief envoy alone:
"I have sent the imperial concubine Cao Shi into my royal carriage. Aiqing led a hundred cavalry guards to escort her secretly to the Song camp overnight to quickly fulfill the shameless request of the Dog Emperor of the Song Dynasty so that Xia Dynasty can be restarted as soon as possible. Song’s peace talks!”
"I obey the decree..." The leader of the peace negotiation never expected that after a midnight ideological struggle, His Majesty, who had always been strong and unyielding, finally compromised.
This is the great fortune of Daxia to protect its country and country.
It is also a blessing for the people of Li to avoid the flames of war!
Li Qianshun finally handed over the customs clearance documents and tokens to the peace negotiator, and told him:
"None of the Imperial Guard cavalry responsible for the escort knew who was in the carriage."
"In Daxia Kingdom, I am the only one who knows about my beloved concubine Cao's entry into the Song Dynasty. The driver of the imperial chariot knows about it, and you, my beloved, know about it!"
The peace envoy immediately knelt down and worshiped the alliance and swore:
"Wei Chen will never dare to leak this top secret to anyone!"
Li Qianshun nodded solemnly, waved his hand and said decisively:
"Ai Qing will lead a hundred cavalrymen from the Royal Forest Army and set off immediately to escort Cao's envoy to Song Ying!"
"I obey the order!"
Li Qianshun looked at his leaving figure and thought to himself:
"When you complete this matter and you return to the capital, I will kill you. The coachman who sent my beloved concubine also knows about this, and he will not be able to live anymore after he returns to the capital."
Only the dead can truly keep secrets.
As for the sudden disappearance of the imperial concubine Cao from the palace, Li Qianshun also thought of a countermeasure. He would block the news first. After the news could no longer be blocked, an obituary could solve the problem:
‘The imperial concubine Cao of Great Xia fell ill and passed away…’
'According to Princess Cao's last wish before her death: the funeral ceremony should be kept simple...'
…
At the end of that night, Princess Cao, the imperial concubine of the Great Xia Kingdom, rode in a royal carriage pulled by four horses, escorted by a hundred imperial guardsmen cavalry, and secretly left Xiping Mansion in the capital without anyone noticing...
Black clouds are pressing down on the city, threatening to destroy it,
The mountain rain is about to come and the wind fills the building.
Shortly after Cao and his party left the capital, strong winds came up and heavy rain poured down...
An autumn rain and a cold.
Mrs. Cao listened to the irritating sound of raindrops hitting the ceiling of the carriage box. Her heart felt as if it had been hit by the cold autumn rain, and she suddenly felt an endless chill...
With the faint candlelight in the carriage, she saw that even the toilet was prepared for her in the carriage compartment.
She also kept in mind Emperor Xia's decree: she was not allowed to get out of the car and show herself before entering the Song camp, and she was not allowed to let the uninformed imperial guards see her, the imperial concubine of Great Xia, in the car.
Ms. Cao was sitting alone in the carriage box. As the carriage bumped, she was thinking repeatedly:
Should I act in accordance with Emperor Xia’s secret decree?
If he sacrifices his life to poison the Emperor of the Song Dynasty who is personally conquering Xixia, not only will he die, but also if he waits until the Song army captures the capital of the Xia Kingdom, his natal family and nine other tribes will be annihilated by the Song army...
…
That night, Li Qianshun was sitting alone in the main hall. He listened to the sound of rain pouring outside the hall and felt uneasy.
The frustration and resentment of losing his beloved concubine made him force himself to work harder and make every effort to cure her illness.
He first stared at the map of Daxia and was stunned for a long time.
He picked up his pen again and wrote one hundred and thirty imperial edicts to urgently mobilize local troops to come to the capital to serve the king.
Then, Li Qianshun sent several batches of edict messengers overnight, and went separately to the 13th local tribal army in Daxia to urgently deliver the edict...
The leaders of each local army will receive a dozen or so edicts written by Emperor Xia to urgently summon King Qin...
During the days when Li Qianshun was in charge of Zhao Ji's personal expedition to Xia, he was so worried that he could only sleep for about an hour every day.
After long-term lack of sleep, he finished writing one hundred and thirty imperial edicts to mobilize troops, and it was already the Yin hour of the next day.
At this time, the sound of rain outside the hall gradually became smaller.
He yawned profusely. He propped his left elbow on the dragon desk, his left palm supporting his chin and cheek, and his right hand holding a pen, thinking about who else he should write a letter to for help...
Suddenly, his eyelids felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, and he closed his eyes involuntarily...

Li Qianshun's eyes darkened at first, and then his eyes lit up.
He found himself standing on a vast green grassland...
He lifted his nose and smelled it. The smell of grass was everywhere, refreshing!
At this time, he no longer had any worries.
A strong wind blew by, and dozens of green grass were picked up by the wind and fell right on his head.
Li Qianshun hurriedly raised his hand, pulled down the green grass on his head, and threw it away...
In order to see if there was any green grass on his head, he dug into his pocket and actually took out a small and exquisite bronze mirror.
When he looked in the bronze mirror, he was surprised to see that the original black hair on his head had all been dyed a strange and dazzling emerald green by the green grass!
When Li Qianshun was feeling confused, he suddenly heard a phoenix cry in the sky.
He raised his head and looked up at the blue sky. From far to near, there was a huge colorful phoenix flying towards him.
The feathers of the phoenix are colorful and beautiful.
Li Qianshun was overjoyed and shouted:
"I can see the auspicious phoenix, please record it as soon as possible."
However, no one responded to his call.
Only then did he realize that he was standing alone on the green grassland, with no follower beside him.
The colorful phoenix flew in front of Li Qianshun and landed. It was as tall as a man. It opened its beak and mouthed human words like a starling:
"I am willing to serve your Majesty for the rest of my life!"
Li Qianshun heard the words spoken by the phoenix. They were the beautiful voices of a young woman. He felt that they were so familiar, but he forgot where he had heard them before.
He was overjoyed and tentatively touched Phoenix's head and neck with his hands.
The phoenix actually showed a happy expression of enjoying it.
Suddenly, the originally clear sky was covered with dark clouds and there was lightning and thunder.
Li Qianshun looked up at the sky and saw a huge five-clawed golden dragon suddenly appearing in the sky.
That golden dragon hovered in the sky, exuding endless majesty and domineering power, which made Li Qianshun extremely horrified.
At the same time, the colorful phoenix also looked up at the five-clawed golden dragon in the sky. It screamed in horror, flapped its wings, and fled to hide behind Li Qianshun.
"Please protect me, Your Majesty, and don't let the five-clawed golden dragon take me away."
The five-clawed golden dragon in the sky opened its mouth and made a sound that shook the world:
"Li Qianshun, please hand over that phoenix quickly. I will spare your life and save the Xia Kingdom from heaven's punishment!"
Li Qianshun's heart was filled with fear and helplessness.
He knew that he was unable to compete with the huge five-clawed golden dragon.
However, he could not just watch the auspicious colorful phoenix appear in Daxia Kingdom and be kidnapped by the golden dragon.
He hesitated for a moment, but finally turned around and stretched out his hand in a gesture that seemed to protect Phoenix.
Li Qianshun was shaken when faced with Jin Long's pressure.
He still made a ruthless decision that was beneficial to self-protection. He stretched out his big hand that seemed to want to protect the poor Phoenix, then grabbed its neck fiercely, picked it up, and threw it into the sky...
Suddenly, the golden dragon in the sky spotted this opening. It suddenly emitted a golden light, wrapped up the phoenix, and then flew high into the sky...
Li Qianshun looked at this scene in horror, knowing that there was nothing he could do.
At this moment, the colorful phoenix suddenly laid a huge egg in the sky.
The egg exuded a bright light, as if it were a huge glowing night pearl falling from high in the sky.
Li Qianshun opened his arms in horror and stretched out his hands, trying to catch the falling egg.
However, his speed is still too slow.
There was a "pop" sound.
The egg fell to the ground.
The eggshell was broken, and the egg white and yolk flowed all over the floor...
Li Qianshun looked at the scene in front of him in shock, feeling grief, despair, regret and self-blame inexplicably in his heart.
However, what made him happy was that the huge five-clawed golden dragon in the sky, wrapped around the colorful phoenix, disappeared from his sight.
Suddenly, the ground beneath Li Qianshun's feet shook, huge cracks opened in the ground, and a giant white dragon suddenly flew out from the ground, its body emitting a strong light.
The giant dragon circled in the air, then transformed into a tall and mighty translucent figure, floating in front of Li Qianshun.
Li Qianshun took a closer look and saw that the translucent man's face looked exactly the same as the portrait of Li Yuanhao, the founding emperor of Xixia, that he had admired hanging in the ancestral temple!
The translucent Li Yuanhao glared at Li Qianshun, his eyes full of anger and disappointment.
He pointed at the broken eggs on the ground, felt sad and roared:
"My future True Dragon Emperor of Great Xia was destroyed in the hands of an unfilial descendant like you before he was born!"
"You, the true dragon of the northwest, were deceived by the true dragon of the Central Plains, and you actually gave up the true phoenix that can control the world!"
"You wasted the protection of my heroic spirit in the underground! You really deserve to be beaten!"
"boom!"
The translucent Li Yuanhao picked up rocks and hit Li Qianshun on the forehead.
"ah?!"
Li Qianshun screamed in surprise.
He suddenly felt a pain in his forehead.
He raised his head suddenly and opened his eyes.
He realized that he had just had a nightmare!
However, blood really flowed from his forehead.
The blood flowed through his eyes and dripped onto the strip-shaped white jade paperweight carved with dragon patterns placed on the Long Book Desk.
He felt that this dream was illusory, yet very real.
He also understood that just now he was leaning on the Long Book Desk with his left elbow, supporting his chin and cheek with his left palm, and holding the pen in his right hand, when he suddenly felt sleepy and fell asleep like this.
It was just after I fell asleep that I had such a bizarre dream...
This dream, first a sweet dream, then turned into a nightmare
Li Qianshun knew why his forehead was bleeding. It was when he dreamed that his ancestor Li Yuanhao, the founding emperor of Daxia, beat him after he fell asleep;
His left elbow did not support his head, so his forehead hit the strip-shaped white jade paperweight on the Dilong desk, and his forehead was bruised and bleeding...
Li Qianshun hurriedly pulled out a few pieces of clean rice paper from Long's desk, crumpled it into a ball, and pressed it on his forehead to stop the bleeding...
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He did not call the imperial doctor for diagnosis and treatment, because he was now panicked by the nightmare just now.
He was so frightened by the nightmare he just had that he broke into a cold sweat.
Li Qianshun calmed down his mind a little, whispered the posthumous name of his ancestor Li Yuanhao, and said:
"Could it be that the dream I had was the manifestation of Emperor Wu Lie, the founding emperor of Great Xia, to warn me?
"Yes, that must be the case!"
"White, in the eyes of our Dangxiang people, is very holy and noble."
"I know: when Emperor Wu Lie ascended the throne, he wore a white dragon robe! He also stipulated that white is the color of the emperor. In the entire Daxia Kingdom, only the emperor can wear white robes."
"The white dragon in my dream is the true form of Emperor Wu Lie?!"
"Then the phoenix in my dream is the true form of my beloved concubine Cao?"
"And that five-clawed golden dragon that I hate and fear so much is the true body of the Song Dynasty Dog Emperor Zhao Ji who was personally conquered by the emperor?"
"Then who is the dragon egg that the phoenix gave birth to in the sky that fell to the ground and broke?"
Li Qianshun, an extremely smart and talented man, is horrified if he thinks about it...
He immediately regretted the decision he made three hours ago.
'My capital city, Xingqingfu, is only over 140 miles away from the Xijing City of Xia Kingdom, which was occupied by the Song Army.'
'The twelve summer envoys who were envoys to the Song camp in Xijing worked hard, changing horses but not people at the Xiajing post station. After more than two hours, they were able to rush back to Xingqing Mansion in the capital.
'And three hours have passed. If I send out fast horse cavalry, can I still recover my beloved concubine Cao?'
At this time, it was already the end of the Mao period.
Li Qianshun's heart was filled with guilt, self-blame, regret and remorse.
Regardless of the injury on his forehead, he immediately roared:
"Official messenger, please enter the palace quickly."
The eunuch who was waiting outside immediately pushed open the palace door, ran inside, and knelt on the ground.
"Pass on my decree, mobilize a group of cavalry from the Royal Forest Army, hold my token, and quickly follow the road to Xijing to recover the imperial convoy that secretly left the capital three hours ago."
"Old slave obeys the order!"
…
At the beginning of Chenshi, a group of cavalry sent by Li Qianshun had just left the capital a few miles away;
The cavalry team secretly carrying Princess Cao of Daxia Kingdom has arrived in front of the Song camp outside Xijing City, which was occupied by the Song army.
The envoy of Xia State urged his horse forward and shouted:
"Commanders of the Song Army, please don't open your bows and fire arrows. I am Xia Guoyi and an envoy. I have sent you the person the Emperor of the Song Dynasty wants. Please report it quickly..."
…
Zhao Ji, who was in the former Prince Pu's Mansion, now converted into the palace of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, received the report. He smiled slightly and said:
"I didn't expect that Li Qianshunnas would send the imperial concubine Cao here so quickly. How could I not accept it?"
"Pass an edict to Xixia Qi and the chief envoy to take the people I want and undergo physical examination to see if they are carrying any weapons or concealed weapons, and then let them enter the city to pay homage to me!"
