Chapter 637 Strange Habits

Then isn't Futu City very dangerous?
Tangtang couldn't help asking: "Is there no movement from Lord Jing'an and the Xuanwu Army?"

The subordinate said: "It's still the same as before. The Qiang army will attack every two or three days, regardless of victory or defeat."

Tangtang sneered: "Have they ever won?"

"What the Lord said is that in terms of war, there is no one in this world who can compare with Duke Jing'an. The Qiang army has not taken advantage of it so far."

Tangtang raised her eyebrows: "Then why are they still persevering?"

"Mr. Jing'an sensed something was wrong early on, so he sent General Jiang and several generals from the Xiaoqi battalion to rush to the Twelve Prefectures for thousands of miles. We will arrive in about an hour."

Tangtang felt that something was wrong, and immediately ordered:

"I won't go back to the capital. You send someone to secretly tell Her Highness the Queen that the Second Highness has been found. Please rest assured."

"Yes."

After the subordinates left, the king's boat launched into the water and set sail, and when he rushed back to Pearl Island, he obviously felt that the atmosphere was different from before he left yesterday.

Several veteran ministers from the cabinet were waiting by the pier, asked a few words about Feng Mingyuan's situation, and then said:

"General Jiang has arrived for an hour."

"Along with him are Prince Heng and General Gao from Di State's navy, as well as Lord Pingyang and General Mu Bei from Qi State."

Tangtang asked: "What's going on? Didn't the reinforcements from Di and Qi go to the front line to help, what did they all gather in the Twelve States?"

The veteran said while shaking his head and sighing: "Jing'an Gong's eyeliner left in the extreme northern land and Qiang country has been wiped out."

"I'm afraid this day will change. Lord Jing'an is worried about His Majesty's safety, so he has divided half of his troops to garrison in the Twelve Prefectures."

Tangtang arranged for someone to take care of Feng Mingyuan and Quan, and immediately rushed back to the study in the palace.

Several generals and Bu Chen Su Qingyun were standing in front of a hanging topographic map, when they saw her coming, they immediately knelt down and saluted: "I've seen Your Majesty."

"Flat body."

She glanced at the topographic map: "It's no wonder that the front-line battle reports I receive every day are all safe. If the Qiang army retreats, it will return to the Qiang capital."

Jiang Kai bowed his hands and saluted: "The Qiang army is a mob, so there is nothing to be afraid of, but Lord Jing'an feels that their repeated attacks may be to deceive people."

"How to say?"

"Your Majesty said earlier that the casualties of the Qiang army would be turned into living dead and become the vanguard of the evil army."

"According to reports from the spies, the number of casualties of the Qiang army has increased sharply, but the pots and stoves in the camp remain unchanged. It must be a cover-up."

"For so many days, the Qiang army attacked very regularly, but they were absent-minded when fighting, and there was no deployment at all."

Old General Chen with a gray beard snorted coldly:
"Not to mention Duke Jing'an, even that incompetent son of this minister can beat them to pieces."

The accompanying generals of the Di Kingdom and the Qi Kingdom also nodded:
"Everyone has discussed with Lord Jing'an that the Qiang army's attack on Futu City is fake, and the real purpose lies elsewhere."

"Catch the thief first and capture the king first. They captured His Highness the second prince of your country and caused panic. Now that His Majesty is in power, His Majesty must be the first to deal with it."

Jiang Kai said: "Mr. Jing'an feels that Futu City is less dangerous than the Twelve Prefectures."

"There are so many islands in the Twelve States that it is impossible to defend against them, so I invite you generals to assist Your Majesty in defending the Twelve States."

"The two big battalions sent by the Xuanwu Camp will go to the twelve states before dark and disperse them."

"Di Kingdom's navy has also set off from Hailing Mansion."

"The navy of Qi State was brought over by Lord Pingyang, and the Ling Wei Army, led by Empress Chang Ling, has already set off from Qidu."

Several generals nodded in unison: "Yes, we rushed over and listened to His Majesty Mingde's orders."

"We must not let Emperor Zun Palace succeed this time."

"If the evil army is allowed to cause harm to the common people, whether it is the Liang Qi State or our Di State will become puppets sooner or later."

Tangtang nodded, and made a big gift to everyone:
"Feng Chenyue would like to thank Empress Gouli, King Gouji and Lord Changling. If they win this battle, they will come to Di Heqi to thank them in person."

The generals hurriedly returned their salutes: "The empress is serious, her lips are dead and her teeth are cold. Daliang and Daqi/Di Guoben are siblings."

Discussions on the defense of the twelve states continued well into the evening.

The Xiaoyong and Xiaowu battalions of the Xuanwu Army arrived, and soon joined Qianlongwei to garrison the twelve prefectures.

After arranging all this, Tangtang summoned officials from the twelve states and told them to make preparations before the war in case of emergencies.

The Twelve States have been at war for so many years, or on the way to war.

Whether they are civil servants or military officials, they are all good at kung fu. When they hear that there is a battle to be fought, each one is more excited than the other.

Tangtang silently watched them happy as if celebrating the New Year, her mood was indescribable.

What weird habits are these?

"Brother Tang Bi, you..."

She was just about to ask Tang Bi to draw up the decree, when she looked up, there was a strange official sitting behind the small table beside her.

Only then did she suddenly remember that Tang must be sent out to look at the boundary markers on the border, Tangtang explained a few words casually, and went back to the palace for bed.

In the early morning, before dawn, the little maid who was in charge of lighting the lamp came, holding the blue bird candle holder and swinging back and forth by the dragon bed.

The eyes of the empress who sits quietly and breathes will be dazzled.

Tangtang opened the curtain expressionlessly: "...Why are you here again?"

Yesterday, he was a pirate who was a big five and three rough, but now he has turned into a pretty little palace lady. The subordinate smiled wryly:
"Jing, the host, the battle is tense, the elders and the guard/law ordered the subordinates to meet the host three times a day..."

Tangtang said in a daze, "Say."

"The Xingdou Formation is moving more and more violently, as if it is about to come out of the grassy abyss."

"Qiang State and Zheng State have cleaned up the eyeliner of Gong Ziyun and Bu Shenyi, and now there is no Liang person in the two countries."

"Also... Landlord, you seem to have stepped on someone..."

Tangtang stretched her feet, looking for shoes in a daze, and looked down upon hearing this——

Izumi, who fell asleep at some point, was hugging his legs tightly, looking at her nervously with a red face.

Tangtang: "..."

This is a familiar scene.

She hooked the shoes to her feet silently, coughed lightly, and signaled her subordinates: "Go on."

"The Meixian Pavilion was completely burned down. When the subordinates went to search for it, only this jade pendant was left."

He bowed his head deeply, and presented a jade pendant that was obviously pieced together with both hands.

Four years ago, Meixian asked her to take this jade pendant to find her mother who was taken away by Emperor Zun, but now she has not found anyone, and Meixian is gone.

Tangtang held the jade pendant in her hand and said softly, "Didn't anyone survive?"

"No, all the burned bodies were found."

The subordinate sighed, and continued: "The only good thing is that Mr. Xue Hai has not been in the Beauty Fairy Pavilion recently, so he escaped a disaster."

"recent?"

Tangtang looked at him strangely: "Hasn't he and brother Yan Gui lost news for a long time? Since they are in the Beauty Fairy Hall, why didn't you report to me?"
