In Pengxi City, Xie Ruyu and his commanders all knelt in front of the angel, listening to the angel read out the imperial edict.
Dismissal from office, dismissal from office, confiscation of homes...
Xie Ruyu fell limply to the ground, her face pale, but there was a lot of relief in her paleness.
Fighting against the barbarians day and night, losing consecutive battles, Xie Ruyu seemed to realize the world's deep malice toward her.
Are cannibal barbarians so difficult to deal with?
All free now!
Wei Huzi came over to help Xie Ruyu and reminded him in a hoarse voice.
"Sir, this is just an expedient measure of the imperial court. You don't have to worry. You will be reinstated within two years."
The angel also came to deliver the imperial edict, and comforted Xie Ruyu in a sharp voice:
"Your Majesty knows General Xie's hard work and meritorious service, but with this consecutive defeat, Your Majesty cannot restrain the courtiers, so he can only make General Xie suffer a little humiliation."
Wei Huzi said dissatisfied: "The imperial court is in trouble. We are not the only ones who have lost consecutive battles. The Qin State has also lost consecutive battles. The Emperor of Qin even lost his own capital. If it weren't for General Xie's bravery, we wouldn't even have these ten thousand weapons."
None of the warriors who fought bloody battles with the barbarians can be brought back."
The angel smiled and said: "General Wei's words were wrong. Emperor Qin lost consecutive battles because of his weak national strength. The Han Kingdom in the north fought two barbarians, and the barbarians were even defeated in the Han Kingdom's Shuangfo City.
They don’t even dare to get close.”
After handing the imperial edict to Xie Ruyu, the angel said meaningfully: "Not everyone loses the battle."
Xie Ruyu stood up suddenly, his eyes flashed with cold light, and he stared at the angel: "What did you say, Brother Su defeated the barbarians?"
Angel felt a chill in his heart. Being stared at by Xie Ruyu, it felt like a thorn in his back. He couldn't say anything he wanted to scold Xie Ruyu.
"Yes, during the two battles at the Double Buddha City, Prince Su led the army and defeated the barbarians. The barbarians left thousands of corpses under the Double Buddha City and fled."
The angel said with a displeased expression, "No matter how much I say that I am His Majesty's envoy, Xie Ruyu dares to intimidate me, and he is truly unworthy of a human being."
Xie Ruyu held the imperial edict in his hand and looked to the northwest, with brilliant eyes. In this way, what was said among the Qin army was true. Brother Su entered the Western Qin Dynasty and led the Qin army to defeat the barbarians, but later he offended the Qin Emperor.
Taboo, so he was jealous and took away the military power.
Thinking of this, Xie Ruyu said to Wei Huzi next to him: "Brother Su is a true god and man, and he can defeat such a barbarian tribe. Emperor Qin really wanted to die. With Brother Su here, the Qin army could defeat this barbarian tribe with great strength, and the good situation was completely destroyed by Qin."
If the emperor is destroyed, he must have complied with his words and will die only if he commits suicide."
Wei Huzi looked at the angel in astonishment and lowered his voice to remind Xie Ruyu: "Master Xie, don't make the mistake. Eunuch Guo is still here, so His Majesty may not have really abandoned you."
Xie Ruyu smiled very beautifully.
General Wei hurriedly lowered his head. Damn it, Mr. Xie is a killer with his good looks. As long as he smiles, His Majesty will not be able to stop him. Eunuch Guo will definitely fall.
Xie Ruyu regained her vitality. The dirt on her body could not hide her elegant demeanor, and her gentle and jade-like image filled Eunuch Guo's eyes.
"Eunuch Guo, I was rude just now. I hope you will forgive me for what I did wrong."
Eunuch Guo's heart started to tremble, and he kept saying hurriedly: "Master Xie is out of sight, out of sight."
"You are a popular person in front of His Majesty. Who knows and that doesn't know. This time's incident is really too big. Most of the 50,000 troops were lost. Less than 10,000 returned. Almost no achievements have been made. All the princes in the court
If the generals are making trouble, Your Majesty will not be able to suppress it."
Xie Ruyu nodded with a gentle tone.
"The general is aware of your majesty's difficulties. I would like to show some respect to my father-in-law's subordinates."
With a wave of his hand, several soldiers came up carrying a large box. Wei Huzi went over and opened the lid of the box, revealing a dazzling array of jewels, gems and ingots.
Xie Ruyu sincerely bowed to Eunuch Guo: "General Mo led his army into Western Qin this time and suffered heavy losses. He only brought back some local specialties. I hope Eunuch Guo will not dislike it."
Eunuch Guo smiled from ear to ear: "Your Majesty, you are too polite. Although our family is willing to speak for Your Excellency, we have to rely on Your Majesty to stand up to the princes of the court."
This local product is good, but Lao Guo didn't dare to take it casually. There was really too much trouble in the court. The left and right officials impeached one person at the same time. This was the first time for Xie Ruyu in the Tang Dynasty.
Xie Ruyu laughed, and a soldier who came from behind took a scroll and presented it to Eunuch Guo respectfully.
"To be honest, father-in-law, this is a gift presented to His Majesty by the general."
Eunuch Guo raised his eyebrows when he heard this. Although His Majesty likes calligraphy and painting, you just gave me this piece of calligraphy and painting because you want His Majesty to protect you at the risk of falling out with you.
Unless this is a new poem or a new original work by Su Lu.
Seeing Eunuch Guo's doubts, Xie Ruyu laughed and said: "It is indeed as my father-in-law thought, this is Brother Su's original work. It is a poem about the scenery, and the whole poem is heroic and majestic. I think your majesty will definitely fall in love with it."
Hearing this, Eunuch Guo's face was filled with a smile, it would be easier to handle. He reached out to take the calligraphy and painting, carefully put the calligraphy and painting away, handed it to the attendant beside him, and gave instructions.
"Bring the brocade box and put this scroll in it. You can keep the scroll for me. The scroll is with you. If the scroll dies, you don't have to live anymore."
After ordering the attendants, Xie Ruyu said to Xie Ruyu with a smile.
"Don't worry, Mr. Xie. With this scroll here, your Majesty will not be afraid of the anger of the left and right ministers, not even the anger of the Empress Dowager."
As he said this, Eunuch Guo looked at the big box and his eyes flashed: "Then our family will accept this local product."
Xie Ruyu said with a smile: "Don't worry, father-in-law, some local specialties will be delivered to your car properly."
Eunuch Guo's sharp laughter rang out: "Okay, okay, our family likes local specialties like this and young talents like Mr. Xie."
After seeing Eunuch Guo off, Wei Huzi stood behind Xie Ruyu and spoke cautiously.
"That scroll is the hope of our Shangshan Jiedu Mansion soldiers. Do you want to send the Xuanjia Army to secretly protect it?"
Xie Ruyu shook her head: "Don't worry, Eunuch Guo is a quickie. Do you know who his entourage is?"
"Master Ci'en of the Great Compassion Temple has a pair of hands of great mercy and compassion. Although he is not a rare opponent in the world, he is still able to run rampant in our country of Tang Dynasty."
Wei Huzi's eyes widened when he heard this: "The one who was scolded by Eunuch Guo and dared not speak like the third grandson, is Master Ci'en?"
Xie Ruyu said disdainfully: "They are just martial arts masters. No matter how powerful they are, they are limited. If it were Brother Su's soldiers, Master Ci'en wouldn't be able to stop even one team."
"That scroll is what Your Majesty desires. Even if Master Ci'en is dissatisfied, for the sake of the disciples and grandsons of Dabei Temple, even if he dies, he will not let this scroll be lost."
