Chapter 683 Evil Retribution

Ms. Cao was given a glass of poisoned wine, and before she died, she finally woke herself up.

Li Baozhen came up to her and said in a low voice, "Empress Empress, His Royal Highness King Xiang asked the servants to tell Empress that Ruoyan was also put in this wine, and Empress Empress' body will last a hundred years."

The word "also" made Cao's eyes widen. She slowly turned her eyeballs to look at Li Baozhen. Li Baozhen sighed and stood up. Serving the empress, alas, in this life, evil will be rewarded with evil!"

Two tears flowed down the corners of Cao's eyes. With her last glance, Nanny Xi yelled, "Mother, wait for your servant!" She rushed towards the pillar and slammed her head to death. Blood spattered in front of her eyes. When it blooms, like a red plum blooming in the wind and snow, a little bit of bright red falls.

That year, when she was young, she leaned over to sniff the red plums. When she raised her eyes, she saw Xiao Yan in a sapphire blue brocade robe, looking at her with a smile. Their eyes met, and they saw a promise in each other's eyes.

Concubine Jing died, and the emperor didn't say how to handle the funeral for Concubine Jing. A few days later, the chief manager of Qingning Palace reported that it was going to be over seven, and if he didn't restrain himself, it might be inappropriate. Pass by Ning Palace.

Li Baozhen asked the emperor what he meant while feeding the medicine to the emperor. The emperor was silent for a long time, but there was still hatred that could not dissipate in his eyes.

He and the queen have just used each other in their lives. From the very first glance, he saw calculations in her eyes.

He knew that the person she wanted to marry was Xiao Lang, and the person she was jealous of was Lu Rongzhao. She had always used him to achieve her goals.

Such a woman, how vicious!

Li Baozhen was shocked, but he kept his composure and responded with "Zunzhi". After serving the emperor with medicine, he retreated, sighed, and ordered, "Use a thin coffin to restrain yourself. In the future, the eldest princess will return to Beijing." After that, there is also a place to pay homage."

After all, Li Baozhen still thought that no matter what, the Eldest Princess and Princess Duanxian were deeply in love with each other, and she couldn't bear to really throw the Queen Empress into a random grave.

The people below also thought that no matter what, she was the eldest princess' biological mother, so they followed orders. At night, they carried Mrs. Cao and Mrs. Xi out of the palace with two thin coffins, and found a beautiful place at the foot of the southward mountain. place, buried the two of them.

Xie Zhiwei received a letter from the capital, and when he learned that the Cao family had died like this, he couldn't help but sigh, and seeing that the emperor made the eighth prince the crown prince, he couldn't help worrying about that young child.

The prince was still raised under the empress dowager's knee in Wutai Mountain. The child suffered a lot when he was in the mother's womb.

However, these things are far away from her now.

It’s almost the Chinese New Year.

The Xingqing Mansion of Xiliang Kingdom has been besieged by the army for half a month. There is no shortage of food and grass in the city, but the charcoal used for heating cannot be transported in. Hundreds of people are frozen to death every day. one slice.

And this number is on the rise every day, and by the end of November, even people in the palace began to freeze to death.

Wuzang Yepang led troops to break through the siege several times, but failed and suffered heavy losses.

Outside the city, Xingqing Mansion was like a huge magnet, constantly attracting Xiliang's troops.

The imperial city was besieged, Xiliang's troops came from all directions to Qin Wang, Xiao Xun and Lu Yan each led 20,000 troops, divided into two lines to ambush on the road to Beijing from the west, and wiped out no less than 50,000 enemy troops.

The general military distribution map of Xiliang shows that the east is more important than the west and the west is light. Although Xiliang has a long border line with Beiqi, Ye Lizhuo married the daughter of the emperor of Beiqi and became the son-in-law of Beiqi. After the alliance was formed, the main force was used to deal with Dayong. Therefore, Zhuoluo and the Southern Army were set up near Lanzhou on the east line, the Jingsai Army was set up in the east of Xiping Mansion, and the left-side Shenyong Army was set up in Xiazhou.

In the south, in the Qilian Mountains bordering the Uighurs, the Gansu Army and the Xiping Army were set up.

Right now, the Left Wing Army is held back by Liu Xingjun. Once the Left Wing Army comes back to rescue, Liu Xingjun will pursue and, together with the Yuntai army led by Xie Yuanbai, encircle the Left Wing Army; The Jingsai Army has been destroyed in the battle at this time.

In the twelfth lunar month, the Xiping Army and the Yan Army in Heishui Town no longer have King Qin's soldiers. Xiao Xun wanted to go home quickly for the New Year, so he and Lu Yan reorganized the army to the east, planning to finish the battle before the year.

The two sat on the horse, facing the bitter north wind, two flags, "Xiao" and "Lu" were hunting in the air, majestic and majestic.

Lu Yan asked Xiao Xun, "Ah Xun, have you thought about it? Once Xiliang is swallowed up, how do you plan to govern it? Who will you send to govern it?"

"Xiliang was originally the territory of our Central Plains Dynasty. For more than two hundred years, the people have suffered from wars and chaos. When the father succeeded to the throne, he planned to take this land. It is suitable for raising horses and is the passage to the Western Regions. , a corridor, brother, are you interested?"

Lu Yan's heart skipped a beat. He had never thought about this problem. The Lu family had guarded the western border for more than a hundred years. They only wanted to protect the peace of the people on the border, but they never thought of advancing westward and protecting the people behind them.

Seeing this, Xiao Xun knew that his elder brother was moved. He was so happy that he stepped forward and patted Lu Yan on the shoulder, "Brother, that's it, Xiliang will be handed over to you. After we settle Beiqi, we will take care of it all the way." Pushing westward, there are some small tribes and dynasties over there, we will open up a road leading to the west and form a commercial road, so that the northwest border will be revitalized, and the people here will also have a way to survive."

The blood all over Lu Yan's body seemed to be ignited and burned. He thought for a while and said, "Ah Xun, let's take Gansu here from now on!"

Gansu is the first Xiliang Supervising Army Division, the Gansu Army, which Lu Yan led the army to annihilate this time. This is really of great significance to him!

"Okay!" Seeing that Lu Yan was very interested, Xiao Xun was naturally very happy. He agreed with everything Lu Yan said, and to him, it was all right.

Lu Yan couldn't help laughing, the weather was harsh and cold, but there was a warmth flowing through his heart, and his whole body was warm.

In the Xingqing mansion, in the imperial palace, there were only three braziers. Ye Lizhuo was wearing two mink fur cloaks, and he was not warm at all. The cold made him restless. He smashed his golden bottle to the ground, and angrily scolded the generals who were kneeling in front of him, "Could it be that there are so many of you, there is nothing you can do?"

As soon as his words fell, a general rushed in, "Your Majesty, something is wrong. Xiao Xun and Lu Yan have already returned to help. Xie Yuanbai didn't know what method to use, but he actually built an arrow ladder on the city wall. They are going to start The city is under siege!"

The third update!
