On the other side of Yuncheng is the territory of Longxiang Dynasty.
Under such terrain conditions, if you rush to send troops, you may once again fall into the danger of being attacked from both sides. Beichenyan marched to this point and did not continue to attack.xdw8
The army was stationed outside Yuncheng Pass, waiting for an opportunity to move again.
Tianlin's southern battlefield is still at war with Longxiang. The Shenyu Army, led by He Tai, is facing off against the former Xiling Mo Qian's old army. The battle situation is tense. After you enter three inches of ground, I will give you back a little bit of color. For a while
It's hard to tell the winner.
As a result, the entire situation was at a stalemate, and the two-to-one absolute advantage of the two dynasties' coalition forces was completely wiped out by Beichen Yanque's battle with Wushan!
Especially for the Xilan Dynasty, more than half of the elite troops in the north were lost, and the vitality of the military was severely damaged. After Tantai Yunlang died, the emperor fell like this again, and the whole court and the public were in turmoil.
Once there was a stalemate, more than half a month passed.
For more than half a month, the Xilan army and Tianlin soldiers outside the border gate of Yuncheng continued to have small fights, but no large-scale siege operation could break out.
But within the Xilan Dynasty, earth-shaking changes took place.
Perhaps he really loved Tantai Yunlang's son so much that he was deeply moved by his heart. After he vomited blood and fell into coma that day, Emperor Xilan never got up again. He was in coma for more than 20 days before he passed away.
After a fierce battle in the court, the Ninth Prince Tantai Hanze, the son of Empress Xiao, ascended the throne and changed the title of the country to Qian.
The ministers who originally strongly opposed Tantai Hanze suddenly changed their minds overnight. The imperial concubine faction was thrown into the abyss, the king became a loser, and the eldest prince was charged with rebellion and demoted to a commoner.
Although Tantai Hanze was cowardly and incompetent, he was the legitimate son of the Central Palace after all. In addition, because of the late emperor's almost indulgent love for Empress Xiao, Empress Xiao's power had long been deeply rooted in Xilan, and the ministers in the court had no choice but to
Lower your head.
It was a dark night, with dark clouds rolling overhead.
In Shuocheng, the border gate of Longxiang Dynasty, people walked in a hurry.
The storm is coming, and everyone feels the breath of war.
The sand city was rolling and splashing, and a group of finely dressed men and horses quickly passed through Shuocheng Avenue, all the way unimpeded, and entered the heavily guarded Shenya Mansion in Shuocheng. The leader's figure was slender and exquisite, and was firmly covered by a black cloak.
But it can still be seen at a glance that it is undoubtedly a woman.
Behind the red-painted door, there is an important area of the study, with three floors inside and three floors outside, and is most heavily guarded.
"This way, please." The woman in a black cloak was respectfully brought here. The boy guarding the door kept his head bowed. After bringing the person in, he quickly retreated and left.
There is a man sitting behind the desk, reviewing military documents.
Wearing a white Confucian robe, he is elegant and dignified. He looks gentle and harmless, but most of his cheeks are covered by a silver mask as thin as cicada wings. Only a section of his fair chin is exposed, which makes him look very mysterious.
Standing next to him was a man whose face was also partially covered by a mask. If you look closely, who is it if it's not the ghost-faced general who escaped during the battle at Que Wushan?
The man in Confucian robes was reviewing military documents in his hand, as if he didn't realize someone was in the room.
The woman in a black cloak raised her hand and waved, and the two followers behind her immediately bowed their heads and retreated.
"Why, the Ai family came all the way here, and this is how you treat guests. It's really hard to meet you after all these twists and turns." The woman in black spoke sharply, tepidly but full of arrogance.
A person who has been in a high position for a long time.
The man in Confucian robes smiled softly and put down the pen in his hand, "The Empress... Oh no, I should be called the Queen Mother now. If so, Xiao Wang would also like to thank the Queen Mother for supporting the alliance between the two dynasties. How dare you neglect it."
The woman softly "hummed" and took off her cloak, revealing a gorgeous face that still had charm.
"The Ai family is very grateful for His Highness's help during this time, but it does not mean that you can put yourself on a high pedestal in front of me." Xiao Huanqin turned sideways and sat down on the big chair next to him, glancing over with phoenix eyes,
"Don't play those intimidating tricks in front of the Ai family."
Xiao Huanqin has been favored by thousands of people since she was a child. Before she left the boudoir, she was the protector princess of Tianqi, and even the emperor of the dynasty respected her.
If you are good at literature and martial arts, you can win in the banquet hall and win on the battlefield!
At that time, she was as famous as Ling Xiyue's mother, a world-famous beauty. After marrying Xilan, she was also inferior to ten thousand people. As a queen, Emperor Xilan pampered her with three thousand people and took great care of her.
.
Therefore, she has almost never been inferior to others, nor has she ever been treated coldly. With her arrogance, she certainly cannot stand the slightest slight from others.
"That's what the Queen Mother said." The man in Confucian robes was not angry at all. He still maintained that gentle and pleasant smile. He walked out of the desk slowly and walked to the side of Queen Mother Xiao with a faint smile. "I didn't know that the Queen Mother came in person this time."
, what’s the matter?”
Queen Mother Xiao turned her eyes and looked at the two people covering their faces with masks, saying nothing.
After a while, she sneered, with obvious displeasure in her words, "Your Highness is not going to discuss the next matter with the Ai family with this face. How could the Ai family know that behind this mask?
Is he a human or a ghost? Is he someone the Ai family wants to see? Don’t just bring a cat or a dog to fool the Ai family.”
"Queen Dowager Xiao, my master has been very polite to you. Don't push yourself too far. This is Longxiang, not you Xilan!" General Ghost Face immediately sneered over, very unhappy with Queen Dowager Xiao's pickiness.
Empress Dowager Xiao turned her sharp eyes and her face became colder, "Masters are talking, how can a slave speak?" She looked at the man in Confucian robes with a cold smile, "Your Highness's dog seems to have not been trained well, so it turned out to be like this.
I don’t know dignity or inferiority.”
"Queen Mother Xiao, be careful what you say!"
The ghost-faced general immediately became angry and took a step closer.
The man in white robes smiled slightly, and the curve between his jaw became more and more beautiful. He suddenly made a move, and his hand flew in the air with an extremely elegant motion. Finally, it landed on the face of the ghost-faced general, and slapped him with a "clang" in the face.
, he was knocked upside down and fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
This unexpected slap passed by, and Queen Mother Xiao was stunned for a moment, her red lips pursed tightly.
"Why are you talking to this distinguished guest?" The man in white robes smiled elegantly, as if he was talking about something insignificant, and as if the slap just now was not caused by him, "I still don't want to apologize to the Queen Mother."
General Ghost Face's mouth was full of blood, and he struggled to get up from the ground. Although he was still very reluctant, he still gritted his teeth and walked to Queen Mother Xiao, and squeezed out word by word from his teeth, "The Queen Mother atones."
Empress Dowager Xiao only glanced at him, then moved her eyes away to look at the man in white Confucian robes. She seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and said meaningfully, "With such a style, there is no need to be too sure. Your Highness is very lucky."
As he said this, Xiao Huanqin's eyes flashed with trance for a second or two.
