"I'll call them over." Seeing Lu Zhengqing's solemn look, Luo Muyu thought it was a serious matter, so he called Su Shaowen, Zhao Sheng and others over.
After a while, everyone arrived.
"Master Lu, what's going on?" Su Shaowen was a little nervous. Recently, Hua Qingxue was imprisoned and the School of Science was in a mess. They were almost in a state of despair.
"Steward Zhao, did the general reply to your letter to the general?" Lu Zhengqing did not answer Su Shaowen immediately, but first asked Zhao Sheng if he had received a reply.
"Not yet." Zhao Sheng shook his head, also frowning, "It has been so many days. Logically speaking, the general should have replied a long time ago. There should not be any silence at this time."
"That's strange." Lu Zhengqing frowned, confused and uneasy.
"Master, you haven't said what you wanted to say when you called us over." Xi'er asked curiously, interrupting his thoughts.
Lu Zhengqing said: "I went to the Imperial Hospital today to find out some news."
He hesitated a little, paused for a moment, and then said: "...The Queen Mother may have deliberately wanted to get rid of Madam."
"What?!" everyone exclaimed.
Su Shaowen said in disbelief: "This makes no sense! Madam has never offended the Queen Mother, why would the Queen Mother do this?!"
"When I first heard it, I couldn't believe it, but that's the truth..." Lu Zhengqing was helpless, and he didn't want to believe it.
"What should we do?" Su Shaowen was anxious, "The general is not here, how can we save my wife?!"
Fu Tingye is their backbone. Now that he is gone and Hua Qingxue has been arrested again, everyone is panicking.
"I'm afraid the only one who can save Madam now is the little emperor." Lu Zhengqing said.
Although the little emperor has no real power now, no matter what, he is still the emperor and the king of a country.
"The whole court is surrounded by the Queen Mother's followers, and the Emperor is alone and helpless. How can he help us rescue Si Bing's wife?" Zhao Sheng did not realize how good this method was. Instead, he was full of worries and could get angry if he was not careful.
Lu Zhengqing also had concerns, but at the moment he really couldn't think of any other way, "No matter what... he is the emperor!"
Everyone fell silent in unison.
"The emperor has very strong feelings for his wife." Butler Zhao suddenly said this.
Su Shaowen also nodded and said in a deep voice: "The Emperor values his wife and will not leave her alone until she dies."
Lu Zhengqing gritted his teeth and made a decision: "I will go to the palace to find the emperor tomorrow."
Zhao Sheng said worriedly: "Master Lu, you... how are you going to enter the palace? Now the palace is full of the power of the Queen Mother. If you want to see the emperor, it will be even harder than ascending to heaven!"
"You have to try to see if it works." Lu Zhengqing's eyes were determined, unwilling to give up, "If we don't do this, we won't even have any hope of saving Madam!"
"Okay, it's getting late. You all should go back and have a rest." Lu Zhengqing made up his mind and stopped changing. After speaking, he walked straight out the door.
In the room, Huan'er had a sad look on her face and murmured, "Do you think Master Lu can see the Emperor?"
No one answered her, only a faint sigh.
…
In the border camp, after the Liao army was hungry for two days, Fu Tingye began to lead his troops to the expedition.
Xiao Han and the generals were discussing the situation of the war when a soldier ran in with a panicked expression, "Prince! Prince, it's not good!"
"What's wrong?" Xiao Han frowned displeased.
Now that most of the grain was burned, there was not much left in the granary. The soldiers could only tighten their belts and wait for the court to allocate grain. He was very upset.
"Fu Tingye has led his troops to attack!" The soldier's legs could not stand straight and he looked at Xiao Han nervously.
"What?!" Xiao Han was surprised.
"This Fu Tingye has the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard, and he dares to come to our territory to provoke!" a general said angrily.
Xiao Han felt a fire in his heart when he thought of Fu Tingye forcing him into the current situation and provoking him again.
He clenched his fists and gave orders: "Qi Meng, Balu obeys the order!"
"The end is here!" The two of them knelt on one knee and clasped their hands in fists.
"You two lead 10,000 cavalry and 20,000 archers to fight quickly!" Xiao Han's eyes were filled with anger, and every word seemed to burst out from the gaps between his teeth, filled with resentment.
"The general will obey the order!" The two men immediately led the troops to fight.
When the two men walked out of the camp, a general said angrily: "Prince, this Qi army burned my granary and took advantage of it to rob me. It is simply too much!"
This person had a deep grudge against Fu Tingye. Every time he led his troops on an expedition, he was defeated by Fu Tingye. He wished that he could kill Fu Tingye to relieve his hatred!
Xiao Han's eyes were gloomy and he said word by word: "One day, I will make Fu Tingye pay the price!"
…
On the battlefield, Qin Laowu and Hai Shixuan had killed many Liao soldiers.
Haishixuan laughed while holding his sword: "General, we really caught the Liao Dog off guard today!"
Fu Tingye didn't speak. He sat on his horse and looked into the distance.
"General! Look, it's the Liao Army!" Just when Hai Shixuan was laughing so hard, Qin Laowu suddenly pointed forward.
It was dark and there was a huge army pressing down on the territory. The war horses trampled on the ground, making the earth tremble and the wind and clouds change color.
"It looks like Xiao Han has sent out the main force." Hai Shixuan made a visual inspection.
"General, who do you think Xiao Han will send out to fight this time?" Qin Laowu asked curiously.
Fu Tingye said: "If nothing else happens, Xiao Han will send Qi Hu and Balu."
Hit the nail on the head.
When the two armies approached, Qi Meng, who was at the front, shouted arrogantly: "General Fu, long time no see!"
He was riding a horse, with a cold smile on his lips, and his narrow eyes were as cold and stern as poisoned arrows.
"General, I really asked you to guess correctly. It is indeed Qi Meng and Balu!" Hai Shixuan looked excited.
Balu saw that Haishixuan's tone was so frivolous, as if he didn't take them seriously. His anger instantly ignited his entire chest, and even the horse underneath him felt his anger and kept neighing.
"Don't bully others too much!" Balu roared.
"Too much bullying? It turns out that General Balu also knows the word "bullying others too much!" Qin Laowu laughed loudly, "General Balu! I'll teach you a new word, treat others with their own treatment. !”
"What a chicken, what a person, don't talk nonsense to me!" Balu didn't understand what Qin Laowu meant, so he simply waved his hand and stopped listening.
But just because Balu didn't understand, it didn't mean that Qi Meng didn't understand either.
"You really like to chew on our leftover bones." Qi Meng mocked coldly, "You can learn the trick of burning the camp tent very quickly."
Qin Laowu's face suddenly darkened.
"Sure enough, a dog can't spit out ivory!" Haishixuan spat.
"You!" Balu was furious. He clenched the knife in his hand, tightened the horse's belly, and yelled, "Drive!"
"Balu!" Seeing Balu rushing out like an arrow, a trace of anxiety flashed in Qi Meng's eyes. This was clearly the provoking method used by the Qi army!
"Come on!" Balu pointed his long knife at Haishixuan, his rough face becoming ferocious with anger.
Qin Laowu did not expect to anger Balu so quickly.
"You burned my tents and granaries, and killed my soldiers. Go to hell!"
Balu slashed at him with a knife!
Haishixuan couldn't avoid it and blocked it with his sword, but the huge brute force shocked Haishixuan's arm.
Haishixuan's eyes widened, and he looked at Balu with a little more caution. He tightened his hands and used force to knock Balu back with his sword!
Balu immediately gave orders to the soldiers behind him: "Charge!"
The two armies meet, and the war is about to break out!
"General, go back first!" Qin Laowu said to Fu Tingye before rushing forward, "We are here! Don't worry!"
Just Qimeng and Balu, there is really no need for the general to take action personally.
Fu Tingye nodded slightly and handed over the battlefield to his two capable subordinates.
…
Distant Nanzhao—
"Princess, I just received news that the Qi army is at war with the Liao Kingdom!"
"So fast?" Wu Xinyao was very surprised when she heard the news reported by the maid.
"It is said that General Fu took the initiative this time." The maid added.
After Wu Xinyao heard this, she didn't know why, but she was in a state of confusion. She didn't know whether she was worried about Nanzhao's situation or Fu Tingye's safety.
"Princess, what's wrong with you?" The maid couldn't help but ask when she saw Wu Xinyao was stunned.
"I'm fine. Do you know how the battle is going now?" Wu Xinyao raised her eyes and looked at her.
"The Liao Kingdom sent Balu and Qi Meng. These two people have fought against us before."
"I remember that Qi Meng. We almost fell into his hands last time." Speaking of this person, Wu Xinyao clenched her fists, with anger still lingering in her eyes.
If it weren't for Qi Meng, she wouldn't have killed so many soldiers in Nanzhao!
"Princess, who do you think will win this time?" The maid looked solemn and said worriedly, "If Qi Bing does not underestimate Daliao, the next one Daliao will have to deal with will probably be us, Nanzhao!"
"Fu Tingye will win." Wu Xinyao replied immediately without even thinking about it.
"Why is the princess so sure that General Fu will win?" the maid asked again.
"Because..." Just when Wu Xinyao was about to say it, she stopped and glanced at the other party fiercely with her beautiful eyes, "Girl, when did you learn how to trick others?!"
Fortunately, she reacted in time, otherwise she would have been tricked by this ghost girl.
The maid laughed, and she had already guessed the reason.
"Okay, okay, go out and don't bother me." Wu Xinyao drove her out.
After the maid left, the worry in her eyes was no longer concealed, and she was a little stunned.
When she came out of Fu Tingye's place that day, she felt even more unwilling. She knew she should give up, but even she herself had not expected the subtle changes in her heart...
Wu Xinyao was a little helpless. If their countries were not hostile ten years ago, then... could the woman standing next to him now be her
"Princess, why bother?" A voice suddenly sounded in her ears, pulling Wu Xinyao back from her thoughts.
"Didn't I let you go out?" Wu Xinyao glared at her with some displeasure, feeling embarrassed that her inner thoughts were revealed.
"Princess, there is a letter from the Emperor!" The maid came in holding the letter.
"Father's letter?" Wu Xinyao's beautiful eyebrows wrinkled.
What will happen if your father writes a letter at this time
