Tang Dynasty: The seventh rank of official residence, and you will be given the Ten Thousand People

Chapter 190 The Royal Expedition!

"A suicide note?"

"Yes, this is the most dangerous battle I have faced since I entered the officialdom."

"No one knows whether he will survive in the end, so let's explain the aftermath while we still have the breath." Fan Xin said with a smile.

Shangguan Wan'er sighed and hugged Fan Xin's waist from behind, pressing her pretty face against his back.

"You are an upright third-grade official. Is it worth doing this?"

Fan Xin stroked the black wind horse with his palm and sighed.

"The fall of the country has always been a pain for the nation. I never want to experience a second foreign invasion!"

"Before the Tibetans arrive, take the Black Wind Horse and leave quickly.

"You can't leave any later!"

Shangguan Wan'er glanced at Hei Fengma, who was blinking with big eyes, and suddenly hooked Fan Xin's neck and kissed him.

With a hot gasp, the female officer's robe slowly fell to the ground, revealing her body as smooth as jade.

Soon, a soul-stirring chant could be heard in the meeting hall...

……

Liangzhou official road.

Looking at the hot sand and smoke outside the gauze curtain, Wu Zetian coughed twice.

"Queen Mother, are you okay?" Di Renjie rode forward and asked worriedly.

Wu Zetian waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, it's just the same old habit."

Speaking of this, she seemed to remember something.

"By the way, what is Fan Xin doing? Why don't you even see anyone?"

"The general has been overworked for a while and is resting in the carriage. Why don't you send someone to call him?"

Hearing that Fan Xin was resting in the carriage, Wu Zetian was just about to say no, when a panicked figure came running towards him.

"Quizhuang, something serious has happened. General, he..."

"He's gone!"

"You said Fan Aiqing is missing?"

Wu Zetian's expression changed, she stared at Qian Niuwei and said coldly: "What's going on?"

Fan Xin left with her and could not disappear suddenly.

"Back to the Queen Mother, I just went to deliver food to the General, but I found that there was no one in his carriage."

"After questioning, I learned that the general returned to Liangzhou before he left the border!"

"Queen Mother!"

The ministers rushed forward to support Wu Zetian and shouted anxiously.

Wu Zetian broke away from the ministers and said in a trembling voice: "Quick, send people back to Liangzhou immediately to bring Fan Xin back!"

"I won't allow him to stay there!"

Di Renjie smiled bitterly and walked closer, cupping his hands.

"Your Majesty, the general sacrificed his life to defend the country. This is a blessing to all the people in the world."

"I believe that if we go back at this time, not only will we not be able to rescue the general, but his hard work will be wasted."

"It's better to sit in Lanzhou and make plans based on the situation before taking action!"

Di Renjie, who was in charge of Fengge Luantai, although he admired Fan Xin's behavior, reason told him that Fan Xin's best choice was to stick to Liangzhou.

In terms of combat experience and prestige, no one exceeds Fan Xin.

With him sitting on the front line, all the generals will be convinced, which will help the soldiers of the three armies to unite to fight the enemy.

So he would not allow the court to send someone to bring Fan Xin back.

Although Wu Zetian was concerned about Fan Xin's safety, she was the master of the Tang Dynasty after all and immediately understood what Di Renjie meant.

In the end, he had to wave his hand to signal Qian Niuwei to retreat.

At this time, a group of cavalry came through the rolling sand and were stopped not far away by the Qianniu Guards who were on guard.

"Who is coming! Get off your horse quickly!"

"General Fan Liu, I have something important to meet with the Queen Mother!" the man on horseback said loudly.

"Let him in!"

Wu Zetian stood up from the banquet with renewed energy.

After a while, Liu Zi came to Yu Chu and bowed, cupping his fists. "Queen Mother, the young master ordered me to bring you two things."

"Open it for me to take a look."

"Yes!"

As the box was opened, two golden tokens and several stacks of brocade silk appeared in front of everyone.

Wu Zetian's eyes immediately turned red when she saw this scene, and she handed the letter to Di Renjie.

"Read!"

Di Renjie bowed and opened the envelope, and said with a complicated expression.

"Your Majesty, the loss of the country has always been a tragedy for the country. Even if you have all kinds of reasons, you are still not immune to infamy."

"As a Han Chinese, I don't want to see the people being slaughtered by foreigners anymore, so I stay here to live and die with Liangzhou!"

"The brocade silk in the box is my only savings. I hope you will give it to Princess Taiping and my parents when you return to Luoyang."

"It's so easy to die without regrets!

"Fan Xin, farewell!"

quiet!
The desert of Nuoda was deathly quiet, and everyone had red eyes and said nothing.

They did not expect that Fan Xin would take the initiative to stay and defend Liangzhou.

I didn't expect it to be in such a tragic way!

Gradually, there were faint sounds of crying in the strong wind.

At this time, three figures knelt in front of Wu Zetian and said solemnly.

"Your Majesty, the three generals are highly regarded by the general. Now that he is in dire straits, we cannot ignore him until he dies."

The words fell.Put the flying bear suit on the sand and ride away.

Looking at the backs of the three decisive figures, the soldiers of the three armies collectively fell silent, and then fell down like waves of sand.

"The last general is willing to fight to the death with the superior general!"

Generals are determined to die, and soldiers are not greedy for life. If the majestic General Longhu of the Zhu Kingdom is like this, why should they fear death!
Facing the petition of nearly [-] troops, Wu Zetian showed a smile of relief.

"My dear friends, young people like Fan Xin still dare to face a powerful enemy."

"Are you willing to go with me to Liangzhou to fight?"

Di Renjie laughed and drew out his sword and said vigorously.

"Why don't you dare? I killed many people on the battlefield back then!"

"Yes, although we are old, we still have strength. We can still kill a few Tubo people without any problem!"

More than a dozen important ministers drew their swords from their waists and said:
"Okay," Wu Zetian shouted and slowly pulled out the Golden Phoenix Sword.

"Pass on this palace's decree, the three armies will change direction, I will lead the army to fight in person!"

"drink!"

Nearly ten thousand people shouted in unison, roaring towards Liangzhou like an angry black dragon.

……

Liangzhou, inside the city.

Fan Xin crawled out of the hole, touched the gold brick in his arms and praised with a smile on his face.

"Brothers, you did a good job. This batch of gold bricks weighs at least several hundred kilograms. It's not worth the risk for us to stay here."

In fact, a few days ago, his subordinate Captain Mojin discovered a large tomb beneath the Governor's Mansion.

But because the Queen Mother and Di Renjie were present, he didn't dare to move.

Now, all the gold bricks and silver in the tomb belong to me.

Just when he was about to order people to put away the gold and silver bricks, Shangguan Wan'er came over and threw herself into his arms and said with red eyes.

"It's you who insists on staying to defend the city."

"It's okay this time. The Tibetans will be here soon. We can't escape even if we want to."

Fan Xin winked at several guards and motioned them to quietly hide the gold and silver bricks.

He smiled absently.

"As a general of the Tang Dynasty, how can I sit back and watch the Tibetans invade our territory?"

"What about that? You go back first and I'll dig through the hole again to see if there's anything left behind."
