Fake concubine, real queen

Yanling has reached the extreme north of the border of the Yue Dynasty. Going north after leaving Yanling and crossing Zongshan Mountain, you will find the vast sea and snowfield of the Beirong people.

The reason why He Gu did not choose to continue chasing the escaped Khan Muda was because after two days of fierce fighting, the soldiers were already extremely exhausted. If they wanted to pursue Muda and his soldiers, they would probably have to go to the Ling River Jingzong. Tianyue Gorge in the mountain range, Tianyue Gorge is closed and narrow, which is not conducive to the reinforcement of reinforcements later, and although Mu Da personally led the troops to the south this time, based on He Gu's understanding of Beirong's national strength since the two generations, Mu Da probably did not Unlimited all the troops sent south, and the siege of the city has been less than half a month, and most of the Beirong side already knew that Mu Da was defeated——

No one knows how many Beirong people there are on the other side of Zongshan Mountain to support them if they really catch up. If they can capture or kill Mu Da alive, it will be a great achievement, but He Gu also doesn't want to take the money of an army of soldiers. Life is a joke, he has never been a person who is very happy, and in this life he has no desire for power.

But Zong Ling is different, he is not good enough, as long as He Gu thinks about his state of mind in the first ten times, he can understand why Zong Ling can't hold back——

In the final analysis, although Mu Da was escorted by his own soldiers who risked their lives to escape, they suffered heavy casualties when they broke through the siege. After calculation, it is estimated that there are only a dozen or so people around him who can escape with him alive, Zong Ling mostly relied on his martial prowess, and felt that if he could really catch up, he might be able to make extraordinary achievements.

It's not that He Gu didn't think of it before, Zong Ling would probably have this thought, but during the chaotic battle between the two armies, he really didn't have the time to give him repeated orders not to let him chase him out, he just gave a simple warning, and didn't mention it any more.

But even so, he really didn't expect that Zong Ling would actually dare to disobey the military order.

He Gu urged Yun Zhui to gallop, although he hated the little bastard surnamed Zong for being so bold, but in the past two lives, He Gu has never been a general who would easily give up the lives of his soldiers. Naturally, He Gu couldn't just let Zong Ling fend for himself.

Yun chased four hooves to ride the wind, and stepped on the snow like flying, but in less than half an hour, he soon reached the mouth of Tianyue Gorge. He Gule stopped the horse and did not enter the mouth rashly. He looked around and soon On the trunk of a half-dead old tree at the mouth of the gorge, a few arrow feathers that had sunk into the trunk by more than a few inches were found——

He turned over from his horse and jumped off, pulled out the arrow feathers and saw the shape of the arrow feathers, which was clearly unique to the Beiying Military Fire Department.

He Gu has not entered the mouth of the gorge. One is that he is not sure that the escape route of Mu Da must be Tianyue Gorge. Although Tianyue Gorge is the shortest route from the south of Zongshan Mountain to the Hanhai Snow Field, Mu Da will inevitably not consider it. Considering this factor, in order to prevent them from chasing, they took a long detour; the terrain of Erze Tianyue Gorge is complicated, and He Gu is alone at the moment. Although he was worried about Zong Ling, he did not dare to rush into it alone.

But seeing this scene now, the scars on the trunk are still fresh, and he knew the distance to shoot the arrow at the first sight, and he estimated that it would not be an hour later, and saw the arrow that was able to sink into the trunk for more than three inches——

In the entire Chenghe camp, there are only a handful of people with this ability, except for Zong Ling, none of them could have appeared here an hour ago.

The morning light has broken, but the mouth of Tianyue Gorge is still shrouded in a thick shade of trees, making it difficult for people to see the scenery in the depths of the canyon. He Gu looked at the mouth of the gorge, hesitating, and Ning Shilang and Zheng Ye came from behind. sound.

"General!"

"Master Hou!"

He Gu turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw Ning Lang and Zhengye on horseback leading a group of people galloping towards him, but they stopped in front of He Gu in a moment, Zhengye jumped off his horse and said anxiously: "Master! I can't chase anymore, Tianyue Gorge is too deep, no one knows if the Beirong people have an ambush in it, if you really get stuck in it and try to get out, it will be very difficult."

Ning Silang also jumped off his horse, glanced solemnly at the entrance of Tianyue Gorge not far away, and said, "Zong Ling, the son of a bitch, dared to really disobey the military order, alas! It's all my fault that I didn't take good care of him for the general. But how can it be good..."

He Gu said: "What's going on in Yanling City?"

Zheng Ye said: "The west and south of the city have been cleaned briefly, and Liu Pianjiang and they are resettling refugees."

He Gu nodded and said, "Is everything all right?"

Zheng Ye said: "It's all right, but there are many people in the city who were killed and injured, and they were somewhat frightened, and they won't be able to resettle them all in a while."

He Gu said: "That's good, take your time."

After Zhengye replied, he suddenly realized that he thought that Consultant He wanted to confirm that Yanling City had been resettled, so he chased into Tianyue Gorge to find Zongling, and immediately became anxious, saying: "Master, even if Liu Pianjiang can be resettled there Well, we can't go any further, just in case you make a mistake, Chenghe Daying..."

He Gu was silent for a moment, closed his eyes and said in a low voice: "...I know, I won't go in, let's wait here for another half an hour, if there is no whereabouts of Xiaozong... then go back."

What Zhengye said is indeed true, the war is at an early stage of peace, although Yanling has been taken back, he is the leader of an army after all, and he must not make any mistakes at this moment, if he really ventures into the gorge, once he falls into the ambush of the Beirong people , the consequences are disastrous.

Ning Lang's voice was also a little dry. Although he was a straight-hearted guy, he didn't know what was important, and said in a muffled voice: "Oh... Zong Ling is really... the general chased him here, I have already done my best to him...don't be too..."

The words behind him gradually became unspoken.

Without him, although Ning Silang doesn't like Zong Ling's style, after all, he has been fighting the enemy side by side for more than a month. With this fellowship of life and death, it is natural to let him fend for himself at this moment. Can't bear...

After all, no one thought that Zong Ling would be so bold.

A few people thought of that talented young man, and felt a little sad for a moment——

In fact, no matter He Gu, Zheng Ye, or Ning Lang, they all knew in their hearts that Zong Ling had never stayed in Chenghe camp before, and he didn't know Zongshan's topography. It is even more impossible for him to understand the twists and turns, so he rashly chased King Beirong Khan in, and he still had more than one enemy. Even if Mu Da and his soldiers were exhausted and homeless, the rabbit would jump over the wall when he was in a hurry , it's hard to say that maybe he won't be red-eyed and desperate, Zong Ling's going here is really bad luck.

After waiting for half an hour, the mouth of Tianyue Gorge was still silent, only the sound of the Ling River rushing through the bottom of the gorge could be heard inside, rushing endlessly, but there was no news from Zong Ling at all.

When the time came, no one asked to go back. Probably no one wanted to be the villain who declared Zong Ling's death in disguise, so there was silence for a while.

He Gu secretly sighed in his heart, he somewhat blamed himself for not keeping an eye on this young man who was still in his prime, but he also knew that it would be useless to delay any longer, and was about to tell people to go back, when he suddenly caught it sharply in his ears. From the depths of the canyon, there were a few vague sounds of the exchange of weapons.

He heard it first, but within half a breath, Ning Lang and Zhengye on the other side also changed their expressions, thinking they heard it too.

Ning Lang said happily: "There are fighting sounds! It must be Xiaozong!"

He Gu didn't say a word, just listened for a while, the voice on the other end suddenly stopped again, he turned his eyes to Zhengye and Ninglang and said: "Listening to the voice, there are no more than ten people at most."

Zhengye nodded and said, "It sounds like one or two miles away."

Suddenly his face changed, and he said: "...Could it be that the Beirong people deliberately cheated?"

He Gu was about to reply, but Ning Lang suddenly stood up and cupped his hands and said, "General, since Xiaozong may still be inside, we can't just ignore death, the general must not go in by himself, why don't you let me take someone in to have a look, General and brother Yan, just stay here for a while, if something goes wrong inside, I will come back and look for you immediately."

He Gu frowned slightly: "Rong De, you..."

He paused, and finally nodded and said: "...Okay, then take someone in and have a look. If Xiaozong is really alive and still inside, save him if you can. If you can't save him, come back and report to me immediately. Deceitful, don't love to fight, come back immediately, if you don't come back, trust the fireworks, Zhengye and I will take care of you."

Ning Lang smiled, and said: "If you don't come back, you won't come back. If it's really wrong, why should I send out any more flame letters and ask the general to go in to meet me? It's my life? It's always Ning who eats it." With this bowl of rice, don’t you have to wear your head on your waistband? I’m really afraid of this, how can I go to the battlefield?”

After he finished speaking, Bianli got on his horse, ordered a team of elites, bowed to He Gu from a distance, then turned around and led them into the gorge without looking back.

He Gu watched their backs gradually disappearing at the mouth of Tianyue Gorge, and became more and more worried, but at this moment, he had no choice but to wait. The terrain in Tianyue Gorge was rugged, narrow and difficult, and Ning Silang could not take them with him. There are too many people going in, and there is only one team, this is really a big gamble——

Whether Zong Ling lives or dies, and whether Ning Silang lives or dies, it depends on God.

Fortunately, after waiting for less than half a cup of tea, He Gu heard the sound of fighting in the gorge again. He was shocked, and the next moment he heard a familiar crisp sound coming from the gorge. He looked up and saw that he was not far away. A bright blue flame exploded in the sky.

——It's Ning Shiro!

He Gu understands Ning Silang's temperament, and knows that since he said that just now, if there are a large number of Beirong people ambushing inside, it will be extremely dangerous, and Ning Lang will never light a flame letter to ask for help. Since he has lit it, it means that there is still a long way to go. Big wiggle room.

He Gu didn't hesitate any longer, and only ordered a scout to go back and send a message to Liu Jianshan, Yan Dingye and others, and then led the rest of the troops into Tianyue Gorge along the mouth of the gorge.

It is the transition season between spring and winter, and everything else is still dry and cold, but Tianyue Gorge is full of tall and lush trees that cannot be named and are evergreen all the year round. Amidst the thick foliage, the sound of the endlessly rushing water of the Linghe River could be heard ahead.

Sure enough, after more than a hundred steps, He Gu heard the sound of fighting again, he and Zhengye looked at each other, and both urged the horse under his crotch to speed up.

After a while, it suddenly became clear that there is such a scene in the gorge——

The hundreds of feet of waterfalls are like hanging upside down on the steep mountain wall. There is a pool under the cliff that is bottomless. The two surrounded the center, and He Gu took a closer look, but it was Zong Ling who was holding the knife on the neck of the Northern Rong Khan Mu Da, and the Khan Mu Da who had been held hostage.

Ning Silang leaned on two maces and half-kneeled on the grass beside him, his chest heaving violently. The group of people who came in with him fell to the ground in disorder, obviously they were not opponents.

When Ning Lang heard someone coming, he looked back and said happily, "General!"

The leader of the more than a dozen Beirong warriors surrounding Mu Da and Zong Ling naturally realized that the young man who had kidnapped their King of Han had come for reinforcements, so his face immediately changed, and he cursed something in a low voice, but He Gu couldn't hear it. I understand Beirong dialect, but it probably won't be a pleasant one.

Zong Ling held the Khan King Muda tightly, his body was in a state of embarrassment, a piece was broken on his forehead, the corner of his lips was bloody, and his face was ashen. Looking at the Beirong people's eyes, there was a frightening hostility.

Hearing that someone was coming again, he turned his head and looked into He Gu's eyes. He seemed to be taken aback for a moment, and opened his mouth slightly, as if he hadn't expected He Gu to appear here.

The leading Beirong man was the first to speak. The man spoke bad Central Plains dialect, turned his head to look at He Gu and said fiercely: "You...go back! Otherwise...kill him!"

He Gu sneered and said, "A dog who lost his family and has nowhere to go, dares to negotiate terms with me?"

"Let him out, I might consider leaving a whole body for you."

At this moment, Zong Ling's reinforcements came, but this group of Beirong people obviously didn't wait to meet them and Khan Muda's reinforcements, otherwise they would have done it long ago, and they would not have threatened He Gu back so harshly.

The two sides were not speculative, and soon fought each other, but originally He Gu had the upper hand, but the Beirong people were fierce, all of them were big and round, tall and powerful, and Mu Da's personal soldiers were even rarer. The elite among the elite, otherwise they would not be able to hurt Ning Shiro and others who came in first like that.

So after a fight, fortunately he, Ning Shiro, and Zhengye were there, so they had a slight advantage.

Zong Ling was surrounded in the middle, but he was still supporting Mu Da, neither loose nor loose, he could only watch the two sides fight and get anxious, while He Gu turned sharply and kicked a Beirong man away , and shouted at him from a distance: "Don't move, watch Mu Da! Don't let him go!"

For a while, gold and iron clanged in the valley.

He Gu didn't rest for two days and two nights. In fact, his hands and feet were a little vain, but fortunately, he was able to mobilize his energy. In the end, more than a dozen Beirong people were finally killed, and only the remaining ones were still killed. Khan Muda supported by Zong Ling.

Although it was not without casualties, Zong Ling was safe and sound, and Mu Da was captured alive. He Gu felt relieved. He kicked away a corpse of a Beirong man lying in front of him, and looked up at Zong Ling. At a glance, he looked a little dazed, and the arm holding the knife on Mu Da's neck trembled slightly, and he was no longer the fierce look he had when he confronted the Beirong people.

He Gu originally wanted to give this brat a hard time when they met, but after seeing Zong Ling's appearance, he knew that he had just started to be afraid, and his heart softened slightly. Said: "What are you still doing? Going back."

Yuba ordered the two accompanying soldiers to come out and asked them to hand over to Zong Ling so that Mu Da could be tied back.

Zong Ling just came back to his senses, looked at He Gu's lips from afar, and smacked his lips twice, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it in the end, realizing that He Gu was also looking at him, but he seemed to be scalded In general, he quickly avoided his eyes.

He Guwang was angry and funny, but after all, Tianyue Gorge is not a safe and safe place where he can teach his subordinates who have made mistakes, so he didn't say much, and only planned to go back to Yanling, and then have a good relationship with this The little bastard settles the score.

Mu Da, King of Beirong, is not as tall and strong as ordinary Beirong people. Although he is tall, he is rather thin. He looks about [-] years old, with a small mustache, and looks a bit sinister.

Since the two parties met each other and fought, this person has not moved at all, he is very honest, or he may have been caught by Zong Ling, and he can't resist even if he wants to. Only then is the person who knows the current affairs a hero——

However, at this moment, at the moment when Zong Ling turned his eyes sideways and let go to hand him over to the two soldiers, Mu Da suddenly looked sharp, and raised his hand sideways to hit the distracted Zong Ling with an elbow. , he was hit so hard that he staggered back two steps, a short silver blade about the length of a palm suddenly stretched out from Muda's cuff, the movement was as quick as lightning, and it went straight towards the throats of the two soldiers, blood immediately Splash three feet.

This change came so fast, not to mention others on the field, even Zong Ling himself almost didn't realize it.

However, when he came back to his senses, Mu Da looked back at him raising his hand and swinging his blade, with a fierce look on his face.

He Guji said: "Be careful!"

With just one step, he rushed to Zong Ling like lightning, and quickly turned around while holding him.

Fortunately, He Gu reacted quickly, and Zong Ling's throat was spared. Like the two soldiers, blood was not spattered on the spot, but He Gu didn't have such good luck——

Mu Da's short blade was made of unknown metal, it was extremely sharp, it was clearly no more than the size of a palm, and it was not considered long, but it easily cut through the chain mail on his back, causing him a hard hit on his back. one knife.

He Gu let out a muffled snort, but Ning Shiro and Zhengye finally came to their senses. Zhengye immediately rushed forward and kicked the short blade in Mu Da's hand, while Ning Shiro restrained Mu Da's hands and feet. .

The turmoil subsided.

For some reason, He Gu could feel that the incision on his back was not deep, but there was a piercing pain from the place where the blood was bleeding, and within just one breath, he felt dizzy, stared at his eyes, and his limbs were weak. almost didn't stop.

Zong Ling finally realized what happened, and also noticed that He Gu's body was shaking slightly in his arms, and immediately turned around and grabbed He Gu's shoulders, looking at him, he said anxiously: "General... how are you doing? How are you?"

He Gu took a few breaths, and Zong Ling supported him so he didn't fall down, but even so, He Gu was clearly aware that his consciousness was being lost from his body little by little, and he couldn't answer when he wanted to speak.

Zhengye's face turned blue, and he looked down at the two soldiers who died with their throats broken just now, only to find that the wounds on their necks had already turned black with blood in just a few breaths, and his complexion immediately changed, and he said urgently: " Damn it! There is poison on the knife!"

Before He Gu's brain had time to distinguish what Zhengye said, he completely lost consciousness.

------------------------

Bianjing City, Imperial Palace, Yizheng Pavilion.

In the first year of the new emperor's ascension to the throne, the first year of the first year of Taiping, the palace was not very lively. First, the whole court was still shrouded in the haze of the northern region's troubles and tense wars. No heir, not only that, the new emperor's harem is also empty, not even a single concubine or noble person, there is no queen in the middle palace who presides over the palace banquet, the new emperor is truly a lonely family, so this year's festival is naturally not going anywhere of.

Fortunately, just after the New Year's Eve, good news came from the Northland. General He won his first battle and successfully took back a city in less than a month. , I feel like I'm finally going to see the blue sky through the clouds and mist. As long as General He can successfully recover Yanling in the North, then the fear and worry of the big guys in the court these days will finally come to an end.

the most important is……

The emperor will not keep a cold face every day, "keep improving" on the errands run by the subordinates, frequently reprimand, fine them, and even find fault with the old accounts of 800 years ago...

Yes, before that, everyone thought that although the current Holy Majesty is more diligent and strict in political affairs, but with his virtuous name as the former prince who assisted the government, and the emperor's face is too deceptive, as long as A little softening of the color will always give people the illusion that he is a benevolent, generous, gentle and virtuous king, and the late emperor ruled benevolence all his life. The flaws do not hide the virtues. Today, the emperor and the late emperor are biological father and son, and they must also be the son Xiao Naifu, who is as kind as he is.

Never expected that ever since Commander He was ordered to become General He when he was in danger, as soon as he left the capital, he suddenly changed his face. It's not that he became a cruel and unkind emperor, but he just became more diligent in politics, not diligent in politics. A little bit, except for the daily court meeting, only the meeting of the Yizheng Pavilion. Since the reign of Emperor Gaozu, it has been held every three days and has never changed. Year after year, the deficit began year after year, and the affairs of the court could not be delayed. The meeting of the Yizheng Pavilion was temporarily changed to once every two days——

There was an old man in the Yizheng Pavilion who didn't dare to say no at the court meeting, and after the court broke up, he complained privately, and he didn't know who to listen to, and it spread to the emperor's ears, and he asked the emperor to send him home the next day After leaving for the elderly, he called Enrong back to his hometown. He turned around and immediately picked up a new young man who could withstand the troubles. I have made saw-mouth gourds, and I dare not say a word more.

And there is nothing to say at first, the emperor is diligent and strives for perfection in court affairs. He himself is not close to a woman who lights a lamp and burns oil. What is there to blame for being stricter?Looking at the past dynasties, such a virtuous monarch is hard to find with a lantern. Who dares to say more?

Therefore, the ministers and workers had no choice but to accompany the new emperor to work overtime with unspeakable hardships, and the whole year had not been a good one. The Ministry of Households had to prepare for the follow-up food and military salaries for the Chenghe camp, and the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War had to work non-stop Casting the missing cannons, arrows, domestication of military horses, etc., everyone is begging grandpa to tell grandma in their hearts, hoping that General He will take back Yanling as soon as possible, and the victorious squadron will return to the court, and there is no time to worry about the emperor's concern about the war in the north Whether the country is the most important thing or worried about General He who left Beijing for the expedition.

It's just a saying that there are all kinds of birds when the forest is big. Although most people have winks, there are always a few who don't win. At this juncture, Shangben is still persevering in urging the new emperor to draft a queen to fill the harem , the big guys also watched with cold eyes, ready to watch these blind fools dig their own graves, but the emperor surprised them this time, and calmly agreed at the court meeting, and ordered the Secretary of Internal Affairs to start work Ready for the new draft.

The courtiers were a little puzzled for a while, and they didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the emperor's gourd. It was rumored a few days ago that the emperor and General He had a male affair, and even had a bizarre affair with Princess Fucheng. Is it true?

But the emperor was willing to figure it out, and he didn't want to be a fool anymore. After all, it was a good thing. This news, accompanied by the news of success from the Northland, made the ruling and opposition parties who had been gloomy and gloomy for more than a month finally relax and smile.

Only Zhao Zhai'er, the newly appointed steward of the Department of Internal Affairs, Zhao Neiguan, knows what the relationship between the emperor and Commander He is. After all, he stays in the Palace of Lanzheng every day, and sometimes listens to the corner of the wall, and that's not on purpose. Yes, these things are taught by his master——the former internal affairs officer Wang Gonggong, who is far away in the imperial mausoleum, as long as he doesn’t see it, doesn’t know it, it’s normal for the emperor to do this, and don’t spread a word, he can be safe But now that the hot task of drafting the draft falls into the hands of the Secretary of Internal Affairs, Zhai Er can't do it even if he pretends to be stupid.

To choose or not to choose?

How to choose?

Who to choose?

Don't choose, the emperor has issued an order in front of civil and military officials at the court meeting... choose, the emperor knows that he only has General He in his heart, and the other males and females don't care, he is afraid how to choose I can't choose someone who makes the emperor happy, and if I really choose a queen, when General He returns to Beijing, if he gets angry with the emperor, then it will be nothing more than a fight at the head of the bed and peace at the end of the bed. Isn't he To be pulled out to pay homage to heaven...

Zhai'er felt more and more bitter.

He held back for a few days, and finally decided to find an opportunity to ask His Majesty how to handle the draft while there was no one around.

On this day, there just happened to be an excerpt from the Yizheng Pavilion to report the war in the Northland. The Emperor is always the most anxious to read the excerpts from the Northland, so Zhai Er thought about taking advantage of the good news of congratulating the general, and asking the emperor for instructions. meaning.

Sandalwood was burning in the Lanzheng Hall, and there was silence, only the sound of the emperor flipping the memorial on the imperial case was very clear. Zhai'er held the paper sent by the Yizheng Pavilion, carefully bent over and said with a smile: " Your Majesty, the Yizheng Pavilion has received a report on the war in the Northland, and Mr. Wang asked his servants to send it to the Emperor for review."

Pei Zhaoheng was approving the memorandum on the liquidation of last year's deficit by the Ministry of Household Affairs. Although the late emperor was in a stable state, he turned a blind eye to the many corruption and profiteering matters under him. The thunder is loud and the rain is small, and if you make a mistake, as long as you don't poke the heart of the late emperor, you will be forgiven if you can. It's just a few words of reprimand, dismissal, fine and salary, so you get the virtuous name of a benevolent monarch, so although you look at it All the singing and dancing is peaceful, but in fact the national treasury has been in deficit for years, and it will not be a day, or even a year or so, to make up for it now.

This mess was cleaned up once by Pei Zhaoheng in his previous life, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is familiar with the road at the moment, but it is really in front of him, looking at the names on the booklet, he still can't help but feel angry and a little upset.

He put down the pen, rubbed the center of his brows, and when he closed his eyes, what appeared in front of him was Zihuan's dark, bright, bright and clean eyes with sword eyebrows and stars with a smile——

I don't know what happened in the past few days, and it's obviously not the first time I've been separated from Zihuan, but I've never been so restless like this time before. His eyes and heart were full of Zihuan's appearance.

He looked at the densely packed words on the memorial quietly, but he didn't take it into his mind at all. Those ink marks seemed to have changed in his eyes, and they were obviously familiar words, but suddenly they were strange. It's very, like seeing it for the first time.

Pei Zhaoheng was wandering in the sky, when he heard Zhaier's voice suddenly, he was in a daze for a while, and then he came back to what he said just now, he was immediately refreshed, and immediately said: "Is it a book from Beidi? Bring it here."

Zhai Er immediately went to the royal case with the booklet and handed it to him, and waited for the emperor to open the booklet and read it for a while, then carefully asked with a smile: "Your Majesty, I have just taken over the Department of Internal Affairs. It's not right, and I really don't know what to do...so...so I want to ask His Majesty for instructions..."

He weighed his words carefully and finished speaking with fear, and waited patiently for a while, but the emperor on the other side of the case didn't say a word, and didn't answer a single word.

Zhai'er thumped in his heart, thinking to himself that he might have said something wrong somewhere, right?Immediately, he sneakily looked at the emperor from the corner of his eye, but saw that his eyes were still on the memorial, his expression was a little dazed, it seemed...it seemed...

stunned?

Zhai'er felt that something was wrong, but he had already spoken, and he didn't turn back when he drew the bow, so he couldn't get off the tiger, so he had to bite the bullet and ask again: "The emperor...the emperor...?"

Pei Zhaoheng's consciousness was still immersed in the memorial in his hand.

The first half is good news. The Chenghe army marched forward triumphantly, the Beirong people fled, and Yanling successfully recovered. Although he was not surprised, the leader of the army was Zihuan after all, but he was also happy about it, but the second half can be read ... Every sentence, every word, almost made him feel as if he was falling into the cold sky——

By the time he saw the last sentence, the short words "General He is in danger" already made him feel cold all over his body.

Just a knife wound...just a knife wound...how could it be so serious?

The King Khan's sword is poisonous... so... where is the antidote?Why didn't they find an antidote, but just sent it back to the court, showing him such a short sentence of "General He is in danger"?

Pei Zhaoheng didn't answer for a long time, Zhai'er didn't dare to ask any more, as smart as him, he already guessed to some extent that the news in this memorial might not be good news, but it's useless to regret now, so he can only shut up Say a word, keep silent.

Pei Zhaoheng closed the memorial, stood up holding it, walked slowly to the gate of the palace, and stopped in his tracks.

Zhai'er followed behind, wanting to look at the emperor's expression but didn't dare to raise his head, he was struggling, but he heard Pei Zhaoheng standing in front of the palace gate and suddenly said: "You go to the Yizheng Pavilion to send a message, and the announcement will be made one day earlier, so that They will come to the palace tomorrow morning."

Zhai'er hesitated for a moment, but finally he didn't dare to ask about the draft, so he just bowed his head and said respectfully: "Yes."

He immediately retreated quietly.

Outside the Lanzheng Palace, the branches and branches of the courtyard are covered with snow. There is no sign of spring, and the winter is still expected to be cold.
