The wasteland and Xiliang started a war, and the entire court became tense. Not long after, news of the first battle came.
"The great victory in the first battle has hit the arrogance of the Xiliang people hard. Your Majesty, it seems that Xiliang will retreat soon." Huo Shan said to Mo Rongzhan with a smile, but he was muttering in his heart that he underestimated Ye Chunnan back then, but it was really true. The battle has been won.
General Meng also said, "Yes, who will dare to underestimate our country of Jin in the future."
Murong Zhan's face did not have a happy smile, he looked at Tang Zhen with heavy eyes, "Jing Ninghou, what do you think?"
"I think... this is the temptation of the Xiliang people, and the fierce battle will follow." Tang Zhen replied in a low voice. This time, Ye Chunnan sent back the victory report and the opponent's ranking method. He just glanced at it You will know whose handwriting it is from.
After all, he had fought side by side with that person for many years, and he was too familiar with it.
Lu Lingzhi is still alive.
Tang Zhen was relieved to learn that his friend was alive, but he felt disappointed when he thought that things were different, and that when they met again in the future, they would only be enemies.
"Testing?" Huo Shan called out in surprise, "Jingninghou, what do you mean by that?"
Tang Zhen glanced at him, "Since Xiliang has decided to fight, it must be sure. It is impossible to retreat just after losing the first battle, let alone...the opponent's witch king has no news. What if Xiliang and Beiming Kingdom join forces? ?”
That's right, Xiliang hasn't teamed up with Beiming Kingdom yet.
General Meng said, "Beiming Kingdom only fought against them last year, and this year they will join forces with Xiliang?"
"There are no absolute enemies, nor absolute friends." Tang Zhen said.
Mo Rongzhan nodded lightly, and said in a deep voice, "It is certain that I will win Xiliang. Tang Zhen, you will personally order five thousand elite soldiers to go to Xiliang tomorrow. You know what formation the other side is used to."
Tang Zhen sighed in his heart, and sure enough, they were going to meet each other on the battlefield, "Yes, Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty, if... if Xiliang really joins forces with Beiming Kingdom, then what shall we do?" Huo Shan asked worriedly. Although Beiming Kingdom lost General Jin, it has Wan Ziliang, which should not be underestimated.
"Even if Xiliang and Beiming Kingdom join forces, we won't necessarily lose." General Meng said.
"That being said, it's better to be on guard," Huo Shan said.
Tang Zhen said lightly, "Don't we still have allies?"
"Dongqing Kingdom?" Huo Shan raised his eyebrows, "What can they do? It would be great if we could get Qi to join forces with us."
Qi State is the largest country, with their cooperation, they will definitely not be afraid of Beiming and Xiliang.
Murong Zhan said, "We will discuss this matter later."
It is definitely not easy for a little Xiliang to start a war with Jin Guo for no reason. Although Wan Yanxi is using Wan Yanxi as an excuse, he is very clear that this is absolutely not the case. What exactly does Xiliang want
…
…
Ye Zhen, who was in the harem, also received the news of Ye Chunnan's great victory. She was unavoidably worried even though she was happy, because she was once deceived and framed by Lu Lingzhi, so she knew better than anyone how deep this man's scheming was. She was worried about Lu Ling It will be bad for my brother.
"Your Majesty, General Ye's good news has arrived, why do you seem to be more worried?" Seeing Ye Zhen frowning and staring out the window, Hong Ying asked curiously.
Ye Zhen sighed softly, "It's not a return from a great victory, I'm afraid it will be more difficult in the future."
"It doesn't matter how difficult it is, General Ye will definitely be able to handle it." Dai Mei said with a smile.
"I hope so." Ye Zhen smiled at them.
Hongying said, "Your Majesty, a new batch of maids came in last time. Our Huaqing Palace is short of manpower. The House of Internal Affairs has sent several maids. Would you like to choose a few to serve by your side?"
Originally, Ye Zhen brought five personal maids into the palace, but later Yuping was used by the Queen Mother to drive him away, Hong Ling and Jian Jia went out of the palace again, gave birth to Hong Ying and Dai Mei, and the others were not well-known, so Ye Zhen Also used less.
Ye Zhen said, "Choose a few good ones to teach first, and then bring them to Bengong to have a look after you have trained them."
"Yes, empress." Hongying agreed.
After a while, Shen Yi's request to see him came from outside.
Ye Zhen met him in the side hall.
"Your Majesty, there is news about Mr. Huangfu." Shen Yi said after saluting.
Murong Zhan sent someone to look for Huangfu Chen, and asked Shen Yi to report directly to the Queen if he had any news, so Shen Yi immediately entered the palace after receiving the news.
Ye Zhen changed her expression and straightened her body, "Where is Mr. Huangfu?"
"My lady, our people found Huangfuchen's trace in the Qi country, but when they found Huangfuchen's residence, he was gone, and there were signs of a fight inside. We guess...Mr. Huangfu was taken away. , This is a note left by Mr. Huangfu."
"What?" Ye Zhen was shocked, "Show me."
Ye Zhen is familiar with Huangfuchen's handwriting, and she recognized it was written by him as soon as she took the note. There were only a few words on it, and it was written in a hurry, "Be careful of the Witch King, it's Qi..."
Witch King? The Witch King again? !
"Where did you find this note?" Ye Zhen squeezed the note tightly, feeling that the truth was like a cloud of fog, she tried hard to see clearly, but she couldn't see clearly.
Shen Yi said, "It was found in the medicine pile. The person who took Mr. Huangfu probably didn't find it. Mr. Huangfu... should know that we have been looking for him, so he deliberately left this note."
Ye Zhen closed her eyes and calmed down for a while, Master knew they were looking for him, but he avoided seeing her, thinking that he really didn't want to see her.
"Do you know where he was caught? This Qi... Could it be Qi State?" Ye Zhen asked suspiciously.
Shen Yi replied, "The subordinates have asked people to look for Mr. Huangfu in Qi State. If there is any news, they will report back immediately, but... this witch king should refer to the witch king of Xiliang. How could he have anything to do with Qi State? ?”
That's right, how does the State of Qi have anything to do with the Xiliang Witch King? So what does that mean
Ye Zhen looked down at the note, and said after a while, "You go down first, you must find Mr. Huangfu."
Shen Yi made a salute, "This subordinate will take his leave first."
Witch King? together? Ye Zhen frowned, does this Qi refer to Qi State, or does it mean something else
"Go and invite Medical Officer Qi over here." Ye Zhen ordered in a deep voice.
Hongying said, "Madam, Medical Officer Qi went to Chengde Villa to see the Queen Mother yesterday."
Ye Zhen just remembered that the Empress Dowager sent back a message saying that she was feeling unwell, and she had to go to Doctor Qi to see her and prescribe medicine, so she asked Doctor Qi to go to Chengde Mountain Villa yesterday, and she might not be able to return until several days later.
"Who else is in Doctor Qi's family?" Ye Zhen asked again in a low voice, "Hongying, ask Xue Lin to find out."
"Yes, empress." Hongying promised in a low voice.
