Phoenix that can't smile

Chapter 625 Ghosts (1)
"Master Cheng, since the empress is here, Qu Tu has no choice but to step back first." Qu Tu suddenly bowed to Cheng Rong.

"Ju Tu, what do you mean? It's too strange to come to my mansion after a few words and leave." Cheng Rong smiled kindly.

"That's right, Master Jue Tu, if you feel that I am in the way here, I will leave immediately!" Bao Si frowned and said slowly.

"Empress, you know, Jue Tu didn't mean that, he was just worried, adding trouble to Empress!" Jue Tu's eyes were full of tears.

"Quitu, what's going on? Why do you say that? For so many years, who can compare our friendship? The rescue of Shuilong Pass, the Shuilong Shuren Palace risked his life to save me and Axi, and when the late emperor was there, I have protected me from difficulties many times in secret, I still remember these things, is it possible that now, because you are afraid of me, you are deliberately avoiding me?" Bao Si stared at Di Tutu affectionately, and said loudly road.

"Your Majesty, no, Si'er, since you haven't forgotten, you know that I will never betray you. You will understand everything about today, and I will leave!" He made a big gift, and then left Cheng's mansion in disappointment.

"Master Cheng, what happened?" Bao Si looked at Cheng Rong sadly.

"Empress, look at Que Tu's expression today, he must have made more trouble this time than before, but don't worry, Que Tu is a person who will do what he says and do what he says. No matter how dangerous it is, he will definitely do it for the sake of Your Majesty saved the day!" Cheng Rong smiled happily.

In the study room of the Shuilong Shuren Palace, the first emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, who had just ascended the throne, was diligently reviewing the memorials before the case. Suddenly, a very urgent battle report appeared in front of him!
"The army of Xirong is led by Deputy Commander Anda. It has invaded Shuilongguan recently, and more than [-] cavalry have conquered it. The guard of Shuilongguan, Zhou Ga, is crying for help!" : "Your Majesty, what is the military situation that made His Majesty lose his composure?"

Chuxiu stared at Wu Gong, patted his shoulder with his hands, and sighed: "Oh, the emperor did not do it at the right time. Just after he succeeded to the throne, the country was in ruins, and Xi Rong made a comeback again, aggressively invading the south, you Say, what do we use to fight another war? Does the treasury have this money?"

"Your Majesty, do you want to listen to the opinions of Lord Cheng Rong and General Judou? They have been on the battlefield for a long time, and they may have a strategy to defeat the enemy." Wu Gong suggested.

"Okay, let them enter the palace immediately to discuss countermeasures!" Chu Xiu nodded at Wu Gong and agreed.

After a long while, Cheng Rong and Jue Tu, who came here under the imperial edict, were dressed in court clothes and saluted Chuxiu. Chuxiu stared at them for a long time before handing over the military report in his hand to them.

Cheng Rong and Jue Tu were shocked after reading it carefully, and said to Chuxiu: "Your Majesty, although the King of Song defeated Boding last time, the Xirong cavalry is really strong, and last time their main force was not damaged, this time they will go south with all their strength. Revenge is bound to be more dangerous than good."

Chuxiu immediately probed and said: "You two lovers, if I order you to lead the army to go out, are you sure that you can defeat the enemy in one fell swoop?"

Cheng Rong thought over and over again: "Your Majesty, the imperial court is now in disrepair, and the large areas of the Central Plains such as Haojing have just been burned, killed and looted by Xirong, and they have been reduced to rubble. Even if the Huben army can fight again, the army is short of supplies. Not to mention that there is not enough silver to forge weapons, so there is nothing we can do!"

"Then, I will make an urgent decree to let the officials in the court and the princes from all over the country collectively donate food and materials to raise military expenses. What do you think?" Chuxiu asked Cheng Rong.
