I started a boy band in ancient times

On the thirteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, King Jing finished the whole hour with [-] soldiers and horses in Jingyi. They marched to the northwest to support the front line, and some troops from the north had arrived first.

In the past, Chu Jingzhong, as the general of Zhenbei, had a very high prestige and influence in the north. Although more than ten years have passed, there are still many generals who are familiar with him among the 10 people, and the remaining soldiers who are unfamiliar Admire, accept and integrate quickly.

Most of the country in Xiwan is hilly and mountainous. Although the territory is vast, the total number of people is not large, the cities are also scattered, and the soldiers and horses are not majestic.But because of this, there are several mountains that can be called natural barriers, so in the old days, there were not frequent exchanges with other countries, as if they were invisible.

Due to the dangerous mountains, it is difficult for a large number of troops to come in and out, and Dongcheng and Xiwan have always been friends, so there were not many troops guarding the border here.It wasn't until a few years ago that Xiwan started to make moves, and the small movements became more and more frequent. Xijiang gradually increased the training of recruits in case of emergency, but it was still stunned by this sudden attack.

At No. 20, the capital received a military report from King Jing, saying that the army had arrived at the border and was confronting the Xiwan army, and there was no major conflict yet.

On the 21st, a small group of soldiers beat drums to lead the battle, and they were wiped out in a short time. The Xiwan army was still standing behind the mountains, waiting.

For eight days in a row, the military situation that reached the emperor's hands showed that it was either a small victory or a stalemate.

But until the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, the daily news of the Northwest Army was cut off, and on another day, on the 29th, there was no news.

From the border to Jingyi, even if it is [-] miles to rush, it will take two days and one night at the shortest time. That is to say, at least two days ago, something happened on the northwest border.

There was a lingering cloud of gloom in the imperial city. Even on New Year's Eve, there was no joy of the coming of the New Year, and the banquet was simply cancelled.

One is the matter of the border, and the other is that the Empress Dowager really died.

After the Empress Dowager drank something that day, she regained some energy and survived for several days, but in the end she still couldn't survive the New Year.The only lucky one, perhaps Mingyao who was with her in the end, cried and said with red eyes, that she slept with a smile in her sleep and went very peacefully.

The Mausoleum of the Empress Dowager was completed as early as the Emperor Xiandi's time, and the follow-up matters have already been arranged. Due to the busy schedule, it may take a long time to think about it, so the Empress Dowager was buried soon. Please go to guard the mausoleum for a few days. Although it is still not in accordance with the etiquette, the emperor agreed.

Chu Qi looked at the lonely palace on New Year's Eve, and wondered why many things had developed like this in just one month.

It is clear that not long ago he was full of confidence, and wanted to let all the staff show their skills at the New Year's Eve banquet and earn a lot of points, but now they went their separate ways in a flash.Mingyao is in the cemetery, He Lanyi is in prison, Lan Ningbing is outside the palace, Ling Feidu is missing, and even Biwu is under strict surveillance due to his sensitive identity.

He doesn't have any members by his side, the only one who gets along with him day and night is Liu Jiyue.

But Chu Qi felt that he had become a stranger again.

These days, Liu Jiyue's condition has also gradually deteriorated. In the middle of the month, he still had the energy to spend time with Chu Qi at night, and he got up early the next day to go to court; but in the last few days at the end of the year, his hands and feet began to get cold again, and he coughed from the wind, and his complexion was also visible to the naked eye. decayed.

Chu Qi knew that the poison dormant in his body was about to explode. It would not exceed seven days at the most, and it would suddenly turn around at a certain moment, making his remaining lifespan return to zero. At that time, even if he had a star-making system Also to no avail.

The entanglement and depression in his head were waved to the sky at this moment. He thought it was the last moment, so he wanted Liu Jiyue to join the group again. He even wrote the declaration of joining the group on a note, which attracted everyone's attention. The ACE position should be left to His Majesty.Although the emperor's singing and dancing attributes are not TOP, but who cares, his appearance and popularity are very high, and he is the light of the manager's strong push, and he will not move to the C position.

But Liu Jiyue still didn't accept it.

Not yet, he said.

When is it?Obviously Chu Jingzhong has been away from Beijing for many days...?

However, Chu Qi's heart is actually clear and clear——

The day when the news of King Jing's death really came.

Thirty of the twelfth lunar month, New Year's Eve.

Although there is no banquet today, the reunion dinner is still to be eaten. However, the emperor has not been able to wake up since he slept at noon. Back then, the reunion dinner was over.

Liu Jiyue wore an inner coat and a simple outer shirt, and sat quietly by the bed, showing a cute and confused expression.

Chu Qi held his cold right hand and asked, "Why don't you go have dinner with the Queen Mother?"

"It's tiring to pretend to be smiling." Liu Jiyue said lightly, "I don't want to cover up when I'm by your side. It's this kind of day again, Xi'er, I really want to celebrate the New Year with you, I've thought about it for a long, long time."

Although Chu Qi used to say that he often entered the palace to accompany the late emperor and the prince to study with him, but he spent most of New Year's Eve and January in the general's mansion every year. Naturally, it was impossible to see the seventh prince, let alone how he was in the palace. Chinese New Year.

Chu Qi pursed his lips silently.

Liu Jiyue seems to be a little different today, he is still shrouded in fatigue and pain, but he seems to have unloaded other things.

"I still want to take you out for a boat trip. They say that the Chengguo navy is powerful, but I haven't even seen it; I also want to go hunting again and catch a lot of snow rabbits, which are stronger than those two... I still want to..."

"Your Majesty." Chu Qi said softly, "When you wrote to me before, you said that you wanted to be a soldier and horse for a lifetime and gallop on the battlefield."

Liu Jiyue smiled softly: "Why not? The former emperor was born as a general, and in his later years he still wanted to fight in person. Since there is...his blood flowing in his body, he naturally wanted to."

"...As long as you join the regiment, you can do these things in the future." His voice became lower and lower, as if he was thinking.

Liu Jiyue raised her hand and pecked Chu Qi's fingertips: "I can't do it, at least 15 northern troops will hate me underground."

Chu Qi was suffocated, and the thoughts that had been suppressed for a while popped out again. He said with difficulty: "It is impossible to wipe out the whole army. The first few days were good news, and we have a large number of people. Xiwan just relies on It's a natural danger, King Jing has led troops for many years, and he won't fall for it easily, besides..."

Liu Jiyue was looking at him, and the pity in her eyes was instantly replaced by sternness.

He was suddenly speechless.

"King Jing may have lost because he underestimated your existence." Liu Jiyue said, "You and Cheng Qiushi have the same huge mystery, which may have the same origin as the power of the bloodline thousands of years ago, but they are both so powerful An existence that is almost irresistible, even if he... was invincible in the past."

"Do you know how Cheng Qiushi avoided the eyeliner of King Jing in the palace and contacted me?"

Chu Qi actually didn't want to know the news about Cheng Qiushi, it would make him seem useless, but he understood what Liu Jiyue meant in an instant.

Sure enough, Liu Jiyue didn't need to explain further: "Since it was possible at the beginning, it may be much easier to send people to sneak into the camp."

"Enough!" Chu Qi didn't want to hear it anymore, he just wanted to know: "Your Majesty, since you have been in contact with Cheng Qiushi a long time ago, and you want to use him to eradicate the king-respecting faction, then...then what can you promise him? !"

Perhaps Cheng Qiushi had deliberately revealed the answer to this question to him, but even so, Chu Qi still didn't believe it. He hoped that Liu Jiyue could tell him personally.

But Liu Jiyue just said: "...you will know after a while."

Chu Qi took a deep breath and stood up abruptly, but before he could speak, someone outside the hall suddenly reported loudly: "——The Northwest Army is here!"

Chu Qi didn't care about anything else, and ran out first, but saw that the person who reported the letter was actually Ling Feidu. He was wearing a blood-stained armor, with a slightly larger box under his arm, and a military newspaper in his hand. When he arrived at Chuqi, his eyes paused, but in the end he still looked at Liu Jiyue behind him, and reported concisely: "King King died in battle."
