All the members are villains, and she just wants to show off when she is dressed as cannon fodder.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty?"

The palace returned to its initial calm, as if the loud bang just now had never existed.

Everyone looked at each other and felt something was wrong. The deputy general raised his hand to make a coded gesture and was about to rush when he was ready. Unexpectedly, the door opened and Yuan Ruo walked out with a calm face.

The lieutenant looked suspiciously into the dormitory. Yuan Ruo stood in front of him, blocking most of his sight. In addition, the palace was completely dark, so he couldn't see anything at all.

The deputy general asked: "Your Majesty, just now..."

Yuan Ruo glanced at him. He was the emperor's magnanimous person, not angry but proud of himself. The deputy general immediately lost his momentum and called the prince again into the palace.

Yuan Ruodao: "Stop shouting, Gu's uncle just passed away!"

"Death? How is it possible? Although the prince is not feeling well, he has not yet..."

"You mean, you're lying?"

Yuan Ruo's gaze was like a torch, sharp and deep, like a beast patrolling its territory. He scanned the faces of the generals below, and all the generals lowered their heads calmly.

The lieutenant general was silent for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said: "The death of the prince is of great importance! Now that the prince is not here, please allow your majesty to allow the general to go and investigate!"

Yuan Ruo frowned, "What if I say it alone and don't allow it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of secret guards suddenly appeared out of nowhere and stood behind Yuan Ruo, their swords shining coldly in their hands.

Looking at Yuan Ruo's expression, it seemed as if he had expected it. He did not feel too sad about his uncle's death. On the contrary, when the family general wanted to investigate, there was a vague expectation in his eyes.

The deputy general narrowed his eyes slightly, what exactly did Yuan Ruo want to do?

They are just a group of secret guards. He considers himself a soldier who has fought bloody battles on the battlefield. He couldn't bear to look at such a rabble! Then he sneered and said: "...I'm sorry for offending you!"

After saying that, he pulled out his sword with a clang, and the other generals also drew their swords after hearing this. In these troubled times, what is the difference between monarch and minister? ! Whoever is more powerful, follow him, and you will enjoy all the glory!

"General! This is bad!"

A soldier suddenly broke in. After seeing the tense situation in front of him, he immediately knelt on the ground with weak legs.

"General, the Pei family's army is here, and the palace is completely surrounded! Say... say, King Qin came to rescue him!"

A large number of soldiers have already rushed in and occupied the entire Lizhou Palace.

The deputy general turned around in shock and saw the lady in red who walked in with General Pei.

"you……"

Before he could finish his words, the lieutenant felt that his chest had been penetrated from behind, and blood instantly flowed out of his mouth. His body collapsed, and the only sound left in his ears was the sound of covering a drum head.

"King Lizhou died of illness. Before his death, he returned full military power to Gu. The deputy general rebelled and was beheaded. Anyone who refuses to follow will be killed without mercy!"

The weapons fell to the ground, and Lizhou's sergeants all knelt down and shouted: "Your Majesty, forgive me!"

Yuan Ruo held Wei Miaozhen in his arms and sat on the soft chair that had been prepared. His eyes were like cold blades, and a contemptuous light danced in his pupils, as if everything was under his control, making people dare not look directly.

"Go down with the order and rectify the three armies. In a few days, we will send our troops south! Capture the traitor and the thief alive!"

……

The messenger handed the imperial edict forward and said humbly: "Prince Yu, please accept the edict."

Qu Baiyu paused slightly, slowly raised his head and did not accept the order, but suddenly said: "How is my father?"

The messenger's eyes moved slightly, hesitating, and said: "The old prince is still in good health, but he is old and unable to do what he wants."

Seeing Qu Baiyu's suspicious expression, he continued: "His Majesty is here, so the prince does not need to worry too much."

Cui Xiaoyi snorted coldly, "My prince is strategizing, but he should also win a decisive victory thousands of miles away. Are you unable to do what you want? I'm afraid..."

"Xiao Yi."

Qu Baiyu interrupted Cui Xiaoyi and respectfully accepted the imperial edict.

Cui Xiaoyi's eyes moved slightly and he lowered his head and said nothing. After the envoy left, he said: "Your Highness, this is a bit strange. Sister Miaozhen did not send a message back..."

Qu Baiyu stared at the imperial edict, not knowing what he was thinking about. After a moment, he said: "It is obviously not his style to change the battle plan temporarily... I'm afraid, something has changed in Lizhou."

Cui Xiaoyi was shocked, "You mean, Lizhou has been..."

Qu Baiyu's eyes were cold and calm, as if everything was as expected. His eyes were like a sharp sword, stopping Cui Xiaoyi who almost screamed.

Cui Xiaoyi hurriedly covered his mouth, looked around, and whispered: "Then let's do it next..."

Qu Baiyu said: "Follow the decree and go south."

He paused and then continued: "There is no need to wait for Wei Miaozhen. You can send someone reliable to observe secretly."

Cui Xiaoyi cupped his hands and took the order to retreat.

There was a burst of urgent footsteps in the front yard, and another young general came to report.

"Report to the Prince of the County! General Jiang is reporting from the front. Nanliang and Donghu have attacked several cities in a pincer attack. They have all moved to Shuiyue Pass, waiting to gather and organize..."

"Who leads the troops?"

The young general paused for a moment and then replied: "The handsome flag of Donghu is written with the word "land". In addition to the sword and gold, Nanliang also has the character "Yuan" standing at the front. The day before yesterday, Nanliang General Jingang clamored outside the city, telling General Jiang to abandon the dark side and open the door to welcome the new king. "

"New king?"

Qu Baiyu murmured in a low voice. Although he had already guessed that the sixth prince was Yuan Tong'er, he really did not expect that Nanliang actually wanted to push Yuan Tong'er to the throne as a prince.

He frowned slightly, but that fool actually agreed. Doesn't she know that the two old foxes in Nanliang Donghu just use her as a puppet?

"Go back and tell Jiang Yao and ask him to find a way to delay the alliance. Tell Nanliang that I want to negotiate a peace!"

……

"Peace negotiation?!"

A large number of soldiers in Jiang Yao's tent were shocked.

"Although the war is tense, it has not yet reached the stage of peace negotiation, right?! Does the old prince know about this? Does Your Majesty know about it?"

The young general was silent. Shuiyue Pass was quite a distance from Shangjing, let alone Lizhou.

Jiang Yao frowned, "What else does the prince say?"

The young general thought for a moment and said: "The prince said that he must point out the sixth prince to come. If he doesn't dare to come, it's a lie!

Those who deceive the king, ignore the superiors, and seek to usurp the throne should be punished by the nine clans. "

The other sergeants looked unhappy when they heard this.

I had long heard that Prince Yu had some connection with the sixth princess, and it was even made known to everyone.

I thought I was a bit frivolous when I was young, but now that I am in the Second Battalion, I still don’t know how to restrain myself. I actually treat the war as a child’s play just to meet each other?

The straight-tempered sergeant immediately turned his face, "Now that the war is going on, he still cares about the love of his children?! This is not the right commander!"

As soon as these words came out, the other sergeants who were thinking about it also started to complain.

Jiang Yao pondered for a moment and said: "Everyone, although our eldest son did not grow up in front of us, his conduct and behavior are obvious to all on WeChat... Maybe he has another deep meaning."

"What's the deep meaning? What's the deep meaning of calling a woman to negotiate peace with him?!"

Jiang Yao shook his head.

"Maybe it's because she's a woman!"
