Wind rises time and space gate

Chapter 514 From darkness to light
Lin Zhaoxia walked into the inner room.

She took out the bracelet from the secret cabinet on the bed, held it in her hand and looked at it carefully. It was black with a hint of cold white light, and exuded a unique fragrance of sandalwood, a faint, extremely calming fragrance.

It was a gift sent by Master Zhiyuan when she and Zhao Guangyuan got married.

No one knew what secret was hidden in it. After receiving it, the family of three went back to the modern time and space gate and appeared in the inner room of the main courtyard of the palace.

Zhao Guangyuan had always wanted to find out the truth, but he always had a grudge against Master Zhiyuan, so he didn't even want to look at it and threw it into the secret room.

Lin Zhaoxia thought about it and put it on her hand.

It was so loose that it would fall down if I lowered my hand. So I just held it in my hand and turned it over from time to time. By the time I got on the carriage, Lin Zhaoxia's heart had calmed down.

When she entered the palace, no one was waiting for her, and Fengzao Palace did not arrange a sedan chair to pick her up.

Lin Zhaoxia was used to it. The queen was even unwilling to do anything for the sake of face now.

The Da Qi Palace is quite large, and walking from the palace gate to Fengzao Palace is really a strenuous task that requires a lot of effort on the legs and shoes.

Lin Zhaoxia was halfway through the journey when she gave up. She said to the eunuch, "I haven't been to the palace for a long time. I should go and pay my respects to the emperor first."

The young eunuch was at a loss for a moment, but couldn't stop her, so he had to accompany her to the imperial study with a sad face.

When Liu Qi heard that she was coming, he greeted her warmly.

"It's rare to see the Princess of Yue in the palace." The two masters of the Prince of Yue's Mansion rarely come to the palace.

Seeing Lin Zhaoxia, she showed a happy expression, as if she was very happy to see her. "The Princess of Yue looks a little haggard. You should take care of yourself. Don't let the King of Yue come back and feel distressed."

Lin Zhaoxia turned the Buddhist beads in her hand and said, "I was worried day and night. I dreamed of him on the battlefield, covered in blood and blood holes. How could I sleep?"

"Pah, pah, pah, Princess, please take back what you just said!"

Liu Qi himself helped to spit a few times, "The prince is fine, he has won several battles, even the emperor praised the prince for his talent in leading the army."

Lin Zhaoxia had a worried look on her face. "What talent does he have? He is just forcing me to do something. He is just afraid that if something goes wrong, I will be left alone in the capital, so I will have to fight for my life."

"The prince and princess are so sincere and touching."

Liu Qi sighed a few words, and saw that she was busy with a string of Buddhist beads, which he had never seen before. He was afraid that she was worried about the King of Yue.

At this, he felt deeply moved and comforted her, "Don't worry, Princess. Hangu Pass currently has 500,000 soldiers, 100,000 more than the Western Rong coalition. Don't worry, Princess. Even if things get worse, can't we just run away?"

When Emperor Zhizheng heard that Lin Zhaoxia was coming, he was waiting in the house, but after waiting for a long time, no one came.

Someone went to investigate and heard that Liu Qi was talking to the princess. He was angry. What could he say to a eunuch? "Let her in!"

The eunuch hurried to pass it on.

Lin Zhaoxia apologized to Liu Qi and hurried inside. "Daughter-in-law Lin greets His Majesty. May His Majesty be well."

Emperor Zhizheng was still unhappy. It had always been others who waited for him, but this couple, each more difficult to serve than the other, actually made him wait!

Unhappy, "What are you doing in the palace?"

"Your Majesty, the Queen sent someone to tell me yesterday that she wants me to come to the palace to have a talk."

The Queen wanted to talk to her, so why did she end up here? She thought the Queen must be making things difficult for her. If she had sent a sedan chair to pick her up, how could she end up here?
I'm afraid he's here to take advantage of the situation. He glanced at Lin Zhaoxia, thinking that this was also someone who was unwilling to suffer a loss. He snorted secretly.

As a result, I saw that she was turning a string of Buddhist beads in her hand. It looked very extraordinary. I was afraid that she must have asked a great master for it.

I didn't notice it before, but now that I'm spinning my beads, it's not hard to imagine why. Suddenly I sighed, and I wasn't so angry anymore.

"He's doing fine over there. You should take good care of the palace and not let him worry. That's the best thing for him."

"Yes. My daughter-in-law will remember this and will take good care of the palace."

Emperor Zhizheng saw through her thoughts and knew that she had nothing to say to him, so he asked the eunuch to send the Princess of Yue to Fengzao Palace in his dragon sedan chair.

The queen waited for a long time but no one showed up. When she inquired, she found out that the person had gone to pay respects to the emperor first. She felt that she was being neglected and was very angry. Then she heard that the emperor had sent her here in a dragon sedan chair, and she was even more upset.

He cursed inwardly a few words in hatred.

He simply refused to see her and even forgot the prince's instructions. He only asked his trusted palace maid to give her a few words of instruction and then sent her out of the palace.

Who would walk on legs when there is a dragon chariot to sit on? If you have the power but don't use it, you are a fool.

Lin Zhaoxia ordered the eunuchs to carry her to the palace gate. After getting off the dragon sedan chair, she looked back at the bright red palace wall and felt that this trip to the palace was quite inexplicable.

The Queen must have summoned her for a purpose. Today, she was just tired and didn't want to walk any more, so she borrowed the Emperor's power, but the Queen didn't even want to see her.

Lin Zhaoxia thought that unless Zhao Guangyuan no longer won battles, she would have to go to the palace many more times in the future.

Not long after, she really told him the truth. And she was almost trapped in the palace.

This is a later story, which I will report later. Let’s talk about Hangu Pass first.

Both sides temporarily ceased fighting.

As expected, Zhao Guangyuan took advantage of the stalemate in the battle at Hangu Pass to write to the commanders of Long Pass and Dashan Pass, asking them to send the 30,000 elite troops who had been "recruited" to Hangu Pass.

In order to avoid any further associations among the generals, the 30,000 elite troops originally led by Fang Da were handed directly over to Sun Yu.

Sun Yu suddenly went from being a marginalized general whose status was not even as high as that of a low-ranking lieutenant to commanding nearly 40,000 people. He became the envy of all the generals in the army.

The lowest-ranking captain in Hangu Pass could lead three to five battalions of troops, but Sun Yu, a general with rich battlefield experience, only led one battalion. This was a right that Fang Sheng had to fight for when he became the commander of Hangu Pass.

As a result, when the King of Yue arrived, Sun Yu suddenly became superior to all the generals.

Some people thought of Sun Yu's identity, the relationship between the Sun family and the Lu family, and the Lu family and the King of Yue, and soon understood why the King of Yue made such an arrangement. They expressed their understanding.

I think the King of Yue is nostalgic and remembers kindness and affection. Naturally, I want to get closer to the King of Yue, thinking that I can also be valued by the King of Yue in the future.

But some people expressed dissatisfaction.

"Sunyu hasn't received so many troops in several years. All the battalions have lost soldiers. Why did they only replenish Sunyu's troops?"

He expressed strong dissatisfaction with the fact that the King of Yue had added so many people to Sunyu, and also questioned whether Sunyu could lead so many people.

Moreover, the King of Yue did not seem to promote any colonels from Hangu Pass, but directly promoted several colonels from the 30,000 people, which made the generals even more dissatisfied.

Fang Sheng looked at this army that suddenly appeared. Each of them was well-armed and armored, and each of them rode the best war horses. They were all full of energy and spirit, and they did not look like the bandits who had lived in the mountains for a long time.

He had some doubts in his heart, but he didn't dare to show them.

Seeing the generals' dissatisfaction, he spoke for the King of Yue, "When Longguan and Dasanguan were besieged, they resolutely went down the mountain to fight the enemy, and many of them sacrificed their lives. Each of them fought bravely against the enemy, and they should have been rewarded and promoted based on their military merits. As for who will lead the army, this is the commander's decision and cannot be questioned."

Having said that, the generals were not convinced.

Zhao Guangyuan glanced coldly at the generals and said, "Tomorrow, we will have a duel in the parade ground. Whoever defeats Sun Yu will lead this team!"
