Chen Palace

Chapter 68 Gyeonggi
At this time, people were screaming, and everyone was busy dodging, only to hear the iron arrows hit the shield heavily, making a crisp sound, and occasionally someone was shot, and after a shriek, their souls returned to the underworld, and they could no longer Return to the homeland of the Central Plains.

Yuan Qi was furious, couldn't bear it anymore, got up from behind the shield, ignored the locust-like arrows and stones beside him, and shouted: "Where are the generals in the army, each leads his own team!"

After he was finished speaking, he saw a huge black arrow in the sky, with the swishing sound of feathers, as fast as lightning, it had already reached the door, and he had no time to dodge. " With a sound, the huge arrow was blocked, but it still flew obliquely and did not land, but Yuan Qi felt his arms were numb and couldn't move for a while.

A crystal clear and white catkin stretched out from the side, it didn't look very fast, but it gently grabbed the broken arrow and held it in its hand to look at it.

Chen Lu was dressed in casual clothes without any armor, so she stood alone in the middle of this chaotic and bloody avenue, as if strolling in a garden, carefully playing with the feathers in her hands.

Yuan Qi was startled and angry, remembering that the sword has no eyes, no matter how powerful her martial arts are, she is also a body of flesh and blood, so she pulled her over and handed her a big shield without any explanation: "You take this—I'm going to go to the front have a look!"

He jumped up, pulled the reins, and galloped towards the front of the army, where the fighting was the most intense. The guards around him hurriedly followed, but they were not as good as his horse, Shen Jun, and fell behind by several feet in a blink of an eye.

Chen Lu didn't care about him, she just stood there, looking at the big black arrow in her hand, her suspicions deepened——

She had been in northern Xinjiang for a long time, and she was very familiar with the emblems and weapons of the Twelve Tatar tribes. Looking at the big black arrow, it seemed to come from the Chile tribe, not the warriors of the king's account.

She looked intently, saw the smoke and dust in front of her covered the sun, the sounds of fighting continued, and she couldn't see anything clearly, so without any further hesitation, she got on her horse and headed over there.

The battle is still going on, but the balance of victory has been tilted towards the sky. The [-] armored men are originally strong soldiers and horses with excellent weapons. I didn't see this kind of formation, so I panicked.

The emperor personally supervised the battle. From top to bottom, everyone had forgotten the fear at the beginning, and the morale was like a rainbow for a while, dividing and surrounding these barbarians and annihilating them one by one.

Standing in front of Chen Lu, she had already seen it clearly, and her heart was brightened. Seeing Yuan Qi slightly excited, she poured cold water on him leisurely——

"Your Majesty, these Tatars didn't lay ambushes in advance, but they temporarily hid in the mountains in order to avoid the pursuers. Our army passed by, which alarmed them—this is just a group of remnants and defeated generals. It is no surprise that they won! "

Yuan Qi felt excited, and when he heard this, it was like snow falling, and he said in surprise, "How do you know?"

Chen Lu played with the arrow feathers in her hand, explained the reason, and said: "The Tatars hold the wolf flag the most, and they must hold it in front of the battle every battle, but look at that flag, how full of holes it is, it must be It's been a fierce fight before!"

Yuan Qi raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and it was as she said, and when he looked closely at the leather armor of the enemy general, it was also in tatters, and some of them were still painted.

"It was the Zhenbei Army's brave battles that made them so disabled... It's a pity that Lin Kuang made a 'mistake' and let this group of wounded and hungry wolves flee into the mainland of my Celestial Dynasty!"

The emperor gritted his teeth and hated, thinking of his uncle, his face turned pale with anger.

The expeditionary force was surprised by this attack, but the capital was quite peaceful.

Before the emperor's expedition, he had a long talk with the queen mother, and from then on, the queen mother lived in the inner court, calling several cabinet ministers to discuss from time to time, and managed the government affairs in an orderly manner.

The queen didn't say anything, but she was very puzzled in her heart - ever since she caught a glimpse of the queen mother meeting with King Jing that day, she knew that she was quite suspicious of Yuan Qi, and the relationship between mother and child was as different as ice coal - how could this be? Attitude changed?

She made a few indirect remarks before she got a meaningful sentence from the Queen Mother: "Under the nest, there is no end. The emperor fought fiercely with the Tatars in the front. If someone is involved in the rear, it will make the land of thousands of miles cheaper. Those barbarians." !"

The queen had vaguely heard that when the queen mother was young, she was almost hijacked by the Tatars, and since then she has had a heart block with them. Hearing this, she also felt that it was reasonable.

Today she went to the Compassionate Palace to pay her respects. The two talked about some old family affairs and anecdotes about the harem. The empress said angrily: "Mother, I follow your will and conscientiously take charge of the harem, but those two women are standing on the bank of the river." It’s a joke, but it didn’t help me at all—didn’t the emperor ask them to assist with the affairs of the Six Palaces? Now there’s no one there!!”

The Empress Dowager leaned slightly on the couch, dressed in moon-white cool silk, with only a pomegranate red bead flower on her temples, which looked charming and beautiful.

She listened to her niece complaining, and said politely: "It's no wonder... Concubine Zhou's father just lost this battle. She has always been proud and arrogant, and she doesn't want to show her face in public—as for the Qi family, her father just went to Yunqing. The palace has visited, and the child has wheezing and coughing, and he can't get out of bed at all!"

She looked at the Empress' embarrassment, and slowly said: "As the lord of the Sixth Palace, don't be so mean, and take care of the people below, so that you can be popular and win people's hearts—don't look at these people They all call you slaves, servants and concubines, and if you get up against Jinger, you will be slandered and your reputation will be ruined!"

The queen only said that she was right, and sneered in her heart: No wonder people say you are virtuous, and you must be a master of swords in your mouth and belly!

She thought of the second concubine Zhou Qi, she must not be able to point fingers for a while, and the emperor is not in the palace, this is the first time in this glorious harem, she can do whatever she wants, her heart jumps for joy, and there is a smile on her brows and eyes.

The two were chatting, when Aunt He, who had just recovered from a long illness, stepped forward and said, "Masters from the cabinet have arrived!"

The queen observed her words, and hurriedly resigned. Not long after, under the eunuch's roll call, several court officials filed in.

The Empress Dowager was very polite to them and gave them a seat before discussing political affairs.

"The emperor has already arrived near Yumen..."

She looked at the ministers below and smiled kindly: "This time the personal conquest is just a coordination between Zhenbei Army and King Xiang. As the commander in chief of the world's troops, the emperor will surely be able to win!"

"I'm an old woman, and I'll just be his house in Beijing for a few days, so don't be restrained!"

She joked and laughed very humorously, but looked at Qi Rong and said, "Qi Qing's family, how is the public security in Beijing? What are the common people talking about?"

Qi Rong was worrying about his daughter's illness, so he was called out unexpectedly. After pondering for a moment, he said: "Everything is calm in Beijing, and the people are talking about the majesty's heroic appearance that day, and there is no fear of avoiding the war... As for the security of the capital, it is originally Jingzhao. Yin and the admirals of the Nine Gates are cooperating to manage..."

He pondered, lowered his eyes——

"Long live is afraid of spies. Before leaving Beijing, an order has been issued to the newly appointed general of the Beijing camp to let him manage it under the military system. All the power of public security will be temporarily handed over to him."

When the Empress Dowager heard this, her complexion immediately became gloomy, and she snorted coldly in her heart, but she refused to speak any more, and just shook the painting fan lightly, as if to wash away the heat of early summer.
