Empress and Empress

Chapter 35

When Xia Zimo received the battle report, he couldn't help but walk around the room a few times, then put the battle report on the table, and couldn't help but pick it up and read it again and again.

Yuan Dong smiled and said, "My lord, since Black Wind City has been captured, what should we do now?"

Xia Zimo looked at his subordinate's smirk and knew that he was losing his composure, so he straightened his face and said, "Since this is the case, we should make some preparations and call Liang Ming."

"Yes, my lord---" Several people looked at each other and said in a long voice.Xia Zimo shook his head, looking at the military newspaper in his hand.It described the process of winning the Black Wind City. Although it was only a rough outline, Xia Zimo could also imagine the scene at that time.

Get up and go to the window, looking at the flowers blooming outside.

No wonder Yuan Xingye likes to be in the military camp. Compared with the strife in the harem, although there are disputes here, it is indeed much more magnificent. Doesn't she also like this kind of life now?Suddenly, a strong longing arose in Xia Zimo's heart.

Point out Jiangshan and reprimand Fang Qiu.One day she will stand in the same position as Yuan Xingye.

After waiting for a while, he heard Yuan Bei say outside the door, "My lord, Governor Liang please see me."

Liang Ming walked into the study, Xia Zimo turned around and said with a smile, "Master Liang, have you read the military newspaper?" Liang Ming suddenly felt that Xia Zimo was a little different, but he couldn't tell where the difference was.It's just that he couldn't help but bowed down, "See you, my lord." Even he himself was a little strange.

Xia Zimo didn't expect that Liang Ming would bow down, but she just smiled and said, "Master Liang, since Black Wind City is almost captured, the Supervising Army must go there, and everything in Youzhou will be left to Master Liang."

"Yes, I will definitely live up to my lord's entrustment."

Xia Zimo walked up to him, and said slowly, "Master Liang is an honest and honest official, with a clean sleeve. The most rare thing is that he is upright. I feel that this Youzhou is a bit condescending. When I return to the capital, I will definitely invite the Holy Majesty." , Many official positions in Beijing are very suitable for Mr. Liang."

Liang Ming only felt cold sweat covering his whole body. He didn't know why Xia Zimo put so much pressure on him, but he knew that this was his last journey to the top.This is Xia Zimo trying to win him over.

The character of a literati made him subconsciously refuse, so he heard Xia Zimo say, "Academic scholars are also getting old, and it's time to retire and return home."

Liang Ming remembered that although he was a first-class Jinshi before, he could only be a small scholar in the Imperial Academy, and he didn't even have an official position.Ten years of cold window, in exchange for such a result.Just because I accidentally offended the Bachelor Attendant, does he have any background.

But in Youzhou, there is death and no life at all.Although the Hanlin Bachelor only has the fifth rank, which is the same as him now, but that is the best way to advance.Daqi's several prime ministers were all Hanlin scholars.

"Since---Master Meng loves you, I am very grateful." Liang Ming said.Xia Zimo smiled and said, "My lord, you don't have to be humble." If Liang Ming didn't agree, Xia Zimo wouldn't let him live for too long.But she wouldn't trust Liang Ming too much.

The next few days were for packing. Yuan Xingye wrote to Xia Zimo to pick her up, but Xia Zimo felt that there was only one day's journey away, so he refused.

Now that there is no more Quanrong's army here, naturally there is no problem.Xia Zimo took four people from the southeast, northwest and a small team on the road.

There are many checkpoints on the road, but with her military supervision token, no one dares to stop her.After traveling for several hours, a group of people sat down to rest.

Xia Zimo sat down, Yuan Dong hurriedly took out the water belt and handed it to Xia Zimo.Xia Zimo took a sip, he was indeed a bit tired from such a hurry, but thinking of seeing Yuan Xingye in a while, Xia Zimo couldn't help but smile.

Suddenly the sound of horseshoes was heard ---

Yuan Xi, Yuan Bei, and Yuan Nan instantly dispersed to check around. Yuan Donghu was in front of Xia Zimo, surrounded by a small group of soldiers.At this time, although the dog army has basically been wiped out, it is still necessary to be careful.

After a while, Yuan Nan reported that it was Cheng Jing who led his small group of imperial troops.Xia Zimo was a little puzzled, but finally he was relieved.

This team of imperial guards came to Youzhou to protect Xia Zimo, so it can be said that they are Cheng Jing's confidantes.So Xia Zimo didn't reuse it.They were naturally quite critical. Originally Xia Zimo planned to let them go to the battlefield, but he was afraid of letting them know something they shouldn't know, so he was locked up in Youzhou.

Soon, Cheng Jing came to Xia Zimo.Bending down to worship, Xia Zimo said calmly, "Why is Cheng Jianjun here?" Cheng Jing clasped his fists and said, "The last general came here for hunting, and he didn't know that your lord was here."

Xia Zimo frowned. She was not good at riding. Although she had been riding a horse for several hours, and it was still some distance away from Youzhou, it was indeed no problem for Cheng Jing to come here to hunt.Looking at the horses of Cheng Jing and the others, there were a few pheasants hanging on them, presumably they were prey.

Thinking of this, Xia Zimo let go of his suspicions.Said, "Although Black Wind City has won a great victory, General Cheng is still cautious."

"Yes, thank you for your concern." Cheng Jing said. "Would you like to give your lord a ride?" Xia Zimo glanced at Cheng Jing, "Wouldn't it be a hassle for General Cheng to return to Youzhou, or go back early to avoid danger."

Cheng Jing bid farewell, Xia Zimo continued on her way, she was always a little uneasy, and said, "Let's speed up, hoping to reach Black Wind City tonight."

Everyone said yes, she was walking in a hurry, Yuan Dong only felt that her body was getting heavier and heavier. She thought it was a relapse of an old injury, but it didn't take long before she felt that the internal force in her body dissipated little by little.Yuan Dong was startled, and shouted, "Stop!"

The others stopped suddenly, and it could be seen that their riding skills were very good. Only Xia Zimo stopped the horse after running a certain distance.

"My lord, we seem to be poisoned?" Yuan Dong said anxiously, Yuan Xi and the others were connected with her, and found that her internal energy disappeared bit by bit under luck, and the more luck it disappeared, the faster it disappeared.

"It's Cheng Jing---" Xia Zimo suddenly thought of the reason, and at this moment, he only saw a group of knights approaching not far away. "Okay, let's run and go to the next level."

There are hundreds of people in a checkpoint, at least there will be an extra guarantee.Several people galloped at once, and Xia Zimo's riding problem appeared at this time.Yuan Xi slapped his palm on the horse's back, using his strength to fly up, landed behind Xia Zimo, and took the reins.

Xia Zimo's horse is also a good horse, and he did not fall behind with two people on his back.But the distance with the people behind is still shortening.A gleam of anger flashed in Cheng Jing's eyes and said, "Everyone, take the arrow."

The arrows shot at Xia Zimo and the others. The ten-man squad were all powerful members of the white masters sent by Yuan Xingye, so people like Cheng Jing usually didn't care about it.A flash of determination flashed in the eyes of the leader, and he shouted, "Brothers, cut off the queen. My lord, go quickly."

The other nine people immediately stopped their horses and put on a position to confront Cheng Jing.Xia Zimo turned his head, knowing that these people were dead or not, Yuan Xi and the others continued galloping without the slightest hesitation.

They just passed the previous level, and the two levels are far apart because of the terrain.Xia Zimo clenched his hands tightly, the hatred in his chest was overwhelming.

If you get rid of Cheng Jing sooner---whose intention is Cheng Jing doing this?Your majesty, it's impossible, if your majesty wants to get rid of her, he won't let Cheng Jing do it.Could it be ---

While galloping his horse, suddenly Yuan Nan pulled up the reins, and the horse neighed and stopped.In front of them, there are several imperial guards ready to go.

Xia Zimo sneered, "This supervising army sits in the army on behalf of the emperor, and you dare to harm me."

"Stop talking nonsense, General Cheng has His Majesty's secret decree to capture Xia Zimo alive." A forbidden soldier said, Xia Zimo understood, the forbidden army has always been loyal to the royal family, it seems that Cheng Jing said something to them.

"Bold, this supervising army is a talented person, and the emperor personally appointed the supervising army, so don't be provoked by traitors." The imperial guards were also a little puzzled, but they had no choice but to believe Cheng Jing's imperial decree.

They glanced at each other, and killed Xia Zimo.Yuan Nan waved his sword to block it, and said, "My lord, go quickly." Yuan Xi turned his horse's head and walked around a few people, Yuan Bei and Yuan Dong followed, leaving Yuan Nan behind.

Xia Zimo only felt that his liver and gallbladder were about to burst. These four people had the closest relationship with her, and now their life and death were unknown.But she also knew that there were still some troops in the imperial army brought by Cheng Jing, and they were probably waiting for her in front.

I didn't expect Cheng Jing to count for so long, and he had already arranged the troops.Sure enough, after running for a long time, about [-] imperial guards appeared in front of them.

Yuan Dong and Yuan Bei glanced at each other, and swung their swords to kill without slowing down. Yuan Xi also drew out his long sword, wanting to lead Xia Zimo to rush over, but because the other party had too many people this time, the internal strength of the three of them almost disappeared. , Yuan Xi failed to break through several times.

After a while, Cheng Jing and others came one after another.Xia Zimo looked at Cheng Jing, and found that none of the ten people had been captured, and they probably had become souls killed by the sword. She was glad that although Yuan Nan was captured, he was still alive.

Yuan Xi and the others had already lost their strength, Xia Zimo suddenly pulled out the hairpin on his head, and said loudly, "Everyone stop." Cheng Jing waved his hand, and everyone stopped.Xia Zimo smiled and said, "General Cheng, you just want to capture this prisoner alive, but I have a request---otherwise---" She picked up the hairpin, which was made of white jade and had an extremely sharp end.
