Exile at the beginning: Take the system and sister-in-law to farm

Wei Xiong and three other people have arrived and are sitting at attention, as if waiting for Zhao Lie to issue an order.

"Luo Zhengfeng encountered a formation attack!"

"The Western Expedition failed!"

"The imperial court ordered me to set off immediately to Yanhuang City, take the Tiger Talisman of the Western Expedition Army, and take over the Western Expedition Army! Defend Changshan River and take back the lost land of Shanjian City!"

"This is Li Rui's personal letter!"

Zhao Lie put his hands behind his back and paced back and forth.

"Huh?? Luo Zhengfeng is dead??"

When Wei Xiong heard this, he was dumbfounded on the spot, "This... did this guy die too quickly?"

Guo Xiaoqi clenched his fists and said unwillingly: "It's a shame that I can't avenge my father personally!"

"Luo Zhengfeng has a false reputation and is not worthy of the name! When Yan Bei was here, he might be able to restrain his sharpness! Now no one in the military can intimidate him, so naturally he is a little confused! With his ability, even if he doesn't die this time, he will die in the future Yes!" Zhao Lie seemed to have seen through Luo Zhengfeng a long time ago.

"What about us now?" Wei Kuangbiao asked.

"The opportunity has come to show off your ability to lead the army! So... you and the other three, pack your luggage immediately and go to Yanhuang City with me to take over the battle in Lie Sun City!" Zhao Lie said resolutely.

"Okay!" Wei Kuangbiao's eyes were wild.

The opportunity to go to the battlefield has finally come!

"As for your family, stay in the God of War's Mansion for the time being. As long as Dadi City is not breached, it will be safer than anywhere else!" Zhao Lie said.

"Okay! Let's go pack our luggage now!" Wei Xiong stood up as he said that.

Dadicheng is 400 kilometers away from Yanhuang City.

A group of Westerners, each equipped with three war horses, hurried along the starry night without stopping, and arrived at Yanhuang City the next morning.

Inside the Golden Luan Hall.

"Veteran General Zhao Lie, pay homage to His Majesty... May our Emperor live long..."

Zhao Lie, wearing battle armor and sword shoes, went up to the palace. Amid the dumbfounded eyes of all the civil servants and generals, he knelt down on one knee and cupped his fists with both hands.

Although he is old, his body is still strong.

The words are sonorous and there is no sign of aging or weakness.

There were only two civil and military officials in the dynasty who could go to the palace with swords and shoes.

And Zhao Lie enjoys this treatment.

Yan Nandu's temples were white, his head was full of wrinkles, and his breath was particularly weak.

Since vomiting blood that day, Yan Nandu's spirit has been deteriorating, and he has become much older in an instant.

Sitting on the dragon throne, he lost his former majesty.

Before that, I went to court every morning with my hands on my desk, my chest straight and my eyes shining with cold light.

look now.

His spirits were listless and his eyes were dull, no different from a dying person.

"Zhao Lie...haha...my old general...you are finally here! I...still can't live without you! Ahem..."

Zhao Lie's arrival made Yan Nan extremely happy.

He was extremely excited, the blood in his chest was rising and falling, and he couldn't help coughing violently.

"The veteran said before he took off his armor... He must be summoned to fight, and he must be called back! Although the veteran has taken off his armor and returned to the field, he must be ready to fight at any time!" Zhao Lie felt a little sad in his heart, and tears filled his eyes as he spoke.

He never thought that one day he would actually go to the palace with swords and shoes.

"Haha... Have you seen it? Have you seen it? My old general is still strong, and his sword is not old... What is this? This is the pillar of our Great Yan Empire! With the old general here, our Great Yan Empire will definitely be able to Defeat the enemy and you will definitely gain more prestige!"

Yan Nandu said excitedly.

"With the veteran general taking action, this Western Expedition will be a sure victory!" Li Rui hurriedly stood up and clasped his fists.

"If the old general takes action, he will definitely beat the Changshan River and make him wet!" Tian Chong and others hurriedly stood up and agreed.

"Ha ha……"

Yan Nandu stood up with his frail body and said loudly: "Zhao Lie obeys the order! From now on, I order you to be the general marshal of the Western Expedition. You will command the 88 troops of Lieri City. I will defeat Zhao's soldiers and horses, take back the lost land of Shanjian City, and capture Yanzhao Pass, the Zhaohuang City pointed by the soldiers! When you capture Zhaohuang City and return in triumph, I will personally hold a banquet for you and make you the king of a different surname!!"

A different surname? ?

When these words came out, Zhao Lie trembled all over.

Since ancient times, being a king with a different surname is not a good position, and you will face having your home confiscated and exiled.

He didn't dare ask for this title.

"Veteran...Veteran...accept the order!" Zhao Lie did not dare to say anything and could only passively accept the order, but in his heart he began to think of a way out.

Li Rui glanced at Zhao Lie coldly, but he didn't know what his plans were.

Not bad!

This Wang with a different surname was proposed by Li Rui.

Originally, Yan Nandu's intention was for Zhao Lie to take the lead to Lieri City and take over the affairs of the army, but at Li Rui's suggestion, Zhao Lie was asked to go to Yanhuang City in person.

Everyone present was dumbfounded and horrified when they heard the word Wang with a different surname.

The Yan Empire had several kings with different surnames, but none of them started well and ended well. They were all confiscated and exiled by the next emperor.

No reason.

Just because the king with a different surname has too much power and can threaten the imperial power.

and so.

The previous emperor conferred kings with different surnames, and the next emperor got rid of them all on trumped-up charges!

Compared with the royal palace, the public palace has less power and is easier to survive.

This is why Yan Beidu is obviously a prince, but he only lives in the palace, not the prince's palace, or the prince's palace.

But nonetheless.

Yan Beidu was eliminated by Yan Nan because of too many kisses and delicate relationships!

Zhao Lie did not stay in Yanhuang City for long.

After getting the Tiger Talisman Seal, he and Wei Xiong immediately rode on their war horses and headed for Lie Sun City in a dusty journey.

Wei Xiong and the others could not enter the palace because they had no official positions, so they waited outside the palace for Zhao Lie to come out.

On the road.

Wei Xiong said: "Just now we were drinking tea in a teahouse and heard someone say... Luo Zhengfeng's family members were all beheaded yesterday!"

"Hmph! For a fool like him, it's only a matter of time before his family members are beheaded!" Zhao Lie said disdainfully.

"I'm wondering...why Li Rui didn't save his family. After all, Luo Zhengfeng was trained by Li Rui!" Wei Xiong said.

"Hmph! It's good that Your Majesty didn't light Li Rui's sky lantern! How dare he come forward to intercede?" Zhao Lie snorted coldly.

"Too!"

Wei Xiong nodded and said: "There is another bad news... I hope the old general will not be angry!"

"What's the bad news?" Zhao Lie asked.

"The five thousand Tiger Roar Cavalry on the southern border... were all destroyed by the Chu army!" Wei Xiong said with a complicated expression.

"What did you say? Five thousand tiger roaring cavalry were destroyed by the Chu army?" Zhao Lie and others have not heard of this news.

Zhao Lie was shocked when he heard the news.

The Tiger Roar Cavalry was the face of the Yan Empire, and it was built by Yan Beidu at a high price during his lifetime.

Wei Xiong had previously served as a commander in Huxiaoqi.

"How was it destroyed?" Zhao Lie asked with eyes wide open.

Wei Xiong told Zhao Lie about the night attack on the Chu army's camp by deputy commander Lu Cheng and Wang Nu.

Zhao Lie fell into silence after hearing this.
