Empress: Your Majesty, please respect yourself, I don't want to be promoted

The crisp sound of horse hoofbeats made the surrounding Xuanwu Guardsmen react quickly.

Seeing the Holy King taking the lead and killing the enemy, the Xuanwu Guards' already high morale surged again.

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

They gripped their sharp blades tightly, then clamped their horses' bellies, shouting and following behind King Cangming, launching a brave and fearless assault towards the warrior battalion that was ten times their size.

The speed was actually much faster than when the Yulin Guards were defeated before.

At the same time, the Xuanwu guards who were resting in Xuanji Sect also mounted their horses, rushed out with their spears, and followed closely to launch a second wave of heavy armor raids.

When Zhao Feifan saw this scene, especially when he saw the figure of General Xuan Jia who was rushing at the front gradually becoming blurred under the blessing of a special force, he quickly ordered loudly: "Formation! Formation!"

"Sword and shield soldiers come forward! Kill everyone who rushes into the formation!"

"The archers are ready with broken arrows, strings are fully loaded, hurry!"

"..."

A series of orders were issued.

However, although the Warriors Battalion are all burly and look extremely fierce, they have never been on the battlefield after all, and most of their daily drills are just ordinary. They are not elite soldiers at all, and they cannot react so quickly at all.

It wasn't until the Holy King Cangming rode a thousand horses, smashed dozens of Yulin guards into pieces, and rushed all the way to a place less than 100 meters away from them, that the sword and shield soldiers finally completed their formation, and the archers also prepared Okay, broken yuan arrow.

But even so, less than one-tenth of the arrows shot in the end flew towards Jiang Chengdao's mask, and before they could get close to his body, they were blown away by the strong wind as he ran.

The few Yuan-breaking arrows that flew toward his face were shattered by a force that distorted the surrounding air, and could not hurt him at all.

"not good!"

Seeing this scene, Zhao Feifan suddenly felt bad.

The combat power of General Xuanjia is by no means comparable to that of ordinary generals, and he must not be regarded as riding alone.

Facts have proved that his hunch is very accurate.

After Jiang Chengdao rushed into the battle formation, although he was only one person, he was surrounded by a group of warrior camps as if he was in no one's land. He forcibly tore a hole in the middle of the battle formation that was finally formed, making the back extremely fierce. The Xuanwu Guards rushed in effortlessly.

Immediately afterwards, like wolves among sheep, they rushed the entire [-] warrior camp to pieces, leaving them without a chance to reorganize their counterattack. They were completely defeated, leaving tens of thousands of corpses behind and fled in all directions. .

Zhao Feifan also took advantage of the chaos and escaped.

There is no way to fight this battle.

As a novice with no actual combat experience, there was no way he could be an opponent of these tiger and wolf warriors who were clearly experienced at first sight.

In less than half an hour, the battle was over.

After the last scream on the battlefield came to an abrupt end, Jiang Chengdao, who had now become a red-armored general, suddenly let out a long sigh with low interest.

"The capital city is an important place, and the imperial army responsible for guarding Ziji City is actually so vulnerable. Huanghuang Daxia has actually fallen into such a situation."

At this time, Jiang Chengwan came over riding a white royal horse.

"Although that woman is very good at strategizing, she has no military knowledge and does not pay enough attention to the country's important weapons. Now the three battalions in Beijing and the 80 forbidden troops have a worrying fighting strength. They are no longer the warriors who followed their grandfather to sweep across Mobei. ."

Jiang Chengdao shook his head, and then said with a smile: "It's almost time to go and say hello to the Queen Mother. I hope that my greeting after eight years will not scare her."

Hearing this, Jiang Chengwan couldn't help but look a little weird.

"As the first harem master in history to be personally visited by the Holy King, I think she will definitely be honored by your arrival. Please sweep up the bed to welcome you."

Jiang Chengdao shrugged his shoulders, noncommittal.

Chapter 8 Backhand

Qianning Palace.

main hall.

Empress Dowager Zhao, who was firmly protected in the middle by more than a dozen warriors wearing golden armor, was looking at Jiang Chengdao with an extremely ugly expression.

She was holding a child in a golden python robe by her hand. It was Jiang Chengyun, the King of Qin who was already "famous" at the age of nine.

And around them, there were corpses lying on the ground.

Severed hands and feet were randomly scattered aside, and the blood on the ground dyed the originally magnificent hall into a sad red, like a purgatory on earth.

Among the corpses were eunuchs, maids, guards, and several extremely handsome young men.

Wu Zhongxian, whom Jiang Chengwan previously called his "big companion", was among them.

I saw that his body was broken into several parts, his head was in different parts, red and white were bleeding all over the ground. His residual limbs were lying quietly in a pool of blood. On his head standing on the ground, the old muddy face still remained. Incredible color.

Obviously, he could not figure it out until his death. Why, at the critical moment when the King of Qin was about to replace the Empress, and as the most popular person next to the Queen Mother, he also had to ascend to heaven, the situation would turn so suddenly and suddenly. Then one of them died tragically under those damn Heijiaqiu eight swords.

Not only could he not figure it out, but the man next to him who also died in a miserable state could not figure it out either.

At this time, Qianning Palace had become a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, and blood flowed into rivers.

Queen Mother Zhao's many years of hard work in Ziji City were destroyed in just two hours.

"I really didn't expect that the Holy Land, which has been keeping its peace for tens of thousands of years, no matter what happens in Central Continent, no matter how the dynasties change, will never take any action, and has never shown a trace of ambition, will actually take the initiative to send troops to surprise Luo Jing, stirring up the world. .”

Regarding Empress Dowager Zhao's insinuations, Jiang Chengdao acted as if nothing happened.

"Just because something hasn't happened doesn't mean it won't happen."

As he spoke, a flash of light quietly flashed through his eyes under his mask.

"It's as if no one in the Great Xia Dynasty has ever been able to perform the duties of a king as an emperor and empress like the Queen Mother, right?"

He did not deny what the Queen Mother said, and even hinted inside and outside her words, making the Queen Mother's followers mistakenly believe that he indeed intended to pursue the supreme imperial power and become the first holy king in history to unify the world.

"Bullshit!"

Empress Dowager Zhao angrily scolded: "I have always been law-abiding. When has there ever been such a treasonous and unethical act? Your Royal Highness, what is your intention in slandering me like this?"

Hearing this, Jiang Chengwan, who seemed to be "held hostage" by Jiang Chengdao, couldn't help but his eyes turned cold.

A good one who keeps to himself.

In the past six years, in order to survive, she had to wear a frail mask every day. No matter who she faced, she looked trembling with fear. She did not dare to show any signs of weakness, for fear that the Empress Dowager Zhao would feel a slight threat and then be " Death of illness”.

Therefore, she was despised by almost everyone, even a eunuch could look down on her casually.

A dignified emperor, but without any majesty, and his life was not as good as that of an ordinary royal family.

All this was given by Empress Dowager Zhao.

Does she hate Queen Mother Zhao?

The answer is yes.

He hates him more than anyone else and wants to kill him immediately.

Originally, she could be a leisurely emperor concubine. After all, she was from an ordinary background. Her mother's family was just an inconspicuous small family. Her talents, martial arts, and spiritual roots were not outstanding. The late emperor did not expect her to compete for the throne. From her You can tell by the name.

But six years ago, the late emperor died suddenly in a strange vision of heaven and earth, and a group of crown princes disappeared mysteriously. The political situation in Great Xia was turbulent, so she was forced by the Queen Mother Zhao to become the emperor.

She will never forget in her life that six years ago, Empress Dowager Zhao took out the so-called late emperor's edict. When she shook her head and refused and questioned the edict, she ordered several eunuchs, including Wu Zhongxian, to force her to kneel in front of the late emperor's soul. When he was in position, he had an extremely indifferent expression.

If she was really a puppet emperor with no ability to resist, she knew exactly what would happen to her next when Jiang Chengyun turned ten and could inherit the jade seal.

Knows better than anyone.

Because she was the person involved and had witnessed with her own eyes the Queen Mother's methods of eliminating threats.

The Queen Mother Zhao would never let go of anyone who might pose a threat to King Qin.

Therefore, from the moment she succeeded to the throne six years ago, there was naturally an irreconcilable conflict with Queen Mother Zhao.

But even so, she still did not rush to let Jiang Chengdao kill the Queen Mother Zhao. Instead, like the neglected puppet emperor before, she said nothing and silently observed the exchanges between Jiang Chengdao and the Queen Mother Zhao, testing each other.

Based on her understanding of Queen Mother Zhao, the other party must have some unknown trump card. Rushing to attack may not necessarily kill her, but may leave hidden dangers.

After all, the Queen Mother is still the Queen Mother, and the King of Qin is still the King of Qin.

Taking action now is not the best option.

Therefore, it is best not to be impatient now, but to take steps step by step to force the Queen Mother to reveal her flaws and strike later.

At this time, Queen Mother Zhao suddenly took a deep breath, glanced at Jiang Chengwan first, then clenched her fists, and said coldly to Jiang Chengdao: "Your Highness the Holy King, can you tell me how you managed to make these Xuanjia soldiers quietly?" Came to Ziji City silently? So that I can let you know clearly."

Everything seems to have settled down.

Under the fierce attack of the Xuanwu Guards, the most elite of the Holy King Army, who had guarded the Holy Land for generations and fought against monsters for a long time, including the Yulin Guards and various worship masters, the Queen Mother's people had basically been killed and injured, and Ziji City was completely destroyed. Under Jiang Chengdao's control.

At this time, the Queen Mother Zhao was like a turtle in a urn, and it seemed impossible to break out of the Xuanwu Guards.

With just one order, the Xuanwu Guards launched a final siege, killing all the golden-armored guards who were almost exhausted, capturing the Empress Dowager Zhao and the King of Qin alive, as well as several important figures of the Zhao family, and leaving them to their fate.

From the looks of it, Queen Mother Zhao seems to have accepted her fate, and now she seems to just want to figure out how she lost, so as not to die in mourning.

However, at this time when he should have been so proud and might have gotten carried away and showed off how brilliant he was to his enemy who had become a loser, Jiang Chengdao shook his head indifferently.

"I have no obligation to tell you, and I have no habit of revealing secrets."

Hearing this, Queen Mother Zhao couldn't help showing surprise.

After all this time, he still hasn't gotten carried away?

What a pity...

Empress Dowager Zhao calmed down, then a flash of light flashed in her eyes, and she said to Jiang Chengdao as if she was resigned to her fate: "So, what are you going to do with me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Chengdao felt a few eyes looking over him.

However, his expression remained unchanged, his eyes were locked on the Queen Mother Zhao, and he said calmly: "Although the Queen Mother is suspected of wielding power, she has worked hard for the people of the world for many years, and there is hard work without credit. Therefore, I will arrange a perfect arrangement for the Queen Mother. It is a good place to keep healthy. From now on, the Queen Mother will no longer have to worry about court affairs as before, and can just enjoy her life there peacefully."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Chengdao stretched out his hand and gestured to the Xuanwu guards around him.

The next second, all the Xuanwu Guards stared at each other and stepped forward slightly.

A hint of disappointment quietly flashed through Queen Mother Zhao's eyes. Obviously Jiang Chengdao's satisfactory response was not what she wanted.

"Your Highness is really kind."

Queen Mother Zhao narrowed her eyes and looked around at the approaching Xuanwu Guards, with a look of sarcasm gradually appearing on her face.

"But I can only accept your Highness's wishes. I won't bother Your Highness for the rest of my life."
