When all the killers at Lingmen retreated to the Shi family's residence, Concubine Li knew the news of Raven's return as soon as possible.
Su Qian'an is no longer important now. When Concubine Li sent people to kill him, she was just afraid that he would come back and read Su Qianle's confession.
While Su Qianan was still in the capital, Shuanglu had already begun to instill in Su Qianle the idea that she and Xia Chucai were a perfect match, inciting a relationship between her and Lan Yuying.
Su Qianle was already interested in Xia Chu, but she couldn't stand Shuanglu's constant persuasion in her ears.
Xia Chu was originally very good to her, and there was no other woman in the house. She and Xia Chu's cousin-in-law were still close friends. As time went by, Su Qianle really thought that she might be the exception.
Until the appearance of Lan Yuying completely shattered her dream.
She saw Lan Yuying for the first time at the inn in Mingxiangyuan. She saw with her own eyes that Xia Chu jealously picked up Lan Yuying's chin and softly expressed her heartfelt feelings in front of her, saying that she wanted to take Lan Yuying away. Yu Ying is tied to her side every day.
Lan Yuying held his hand with her backhand and responded to him delicately: "No way, you know I only have you in my heart."
Su Qianle looked at Lan Yuying, who was charming and shy, and Xia Chu's eyes were full of affection and sweetness. At that time, her face was as discouraged as winter, Shuanglu kept trying to persuade her, and she felt as if she was lost. It's like I can't hear anything.
It wasn't until Xia Chu personally went to see her in the room, took her pulse, and spoke softly and cared about her body that Su Qianle listened to Shuanglu's words. She always had to fight.
On the night of Chinese Valentine's Day, in the spring breeze of Drinking Room, Xia Chu and Xiao Yanjun were facing each other tit for tat. Xiao Yanjun mocked his sweetheart for living with Xu Wenlan. Even she was angry on behalf of Xia Chu, even though she had kept saying that she only had Xia Chu in her heart before. Turning around, he exchanged glances with Xu Wenlan.
Who would have thought that Xia Chu was neither shy nor annoyed, but instead looked at Lan Yuying affectionately, pouring out her true feelings in front of so many people: "She is free to choose who she is. I like her... my choice."
Su Qianle was very sad. Before Lan Yuying came down the mountain, Xia Chu dressed up in blue for her alone. Lan Yuying betrayed him in front of him and Xu Wenlan, but Xia Chu still didn't change his infatuation!
The most hateful thing is that during the begging party, Lan Yuying shamelessly snatched away her original top spot. Lan Yuying knew clearly the meaning of the Huo Huanbu, but he still snatched her top spot and gave it to Xia Chu!
Why is it that while Lan Yuying is eating from the bowl and looking at the pot, Xu Wenlan and Xia Chu still have no regrets and are devoted to her
Su Qianle made a late-night snack and was shy with her little daughter. It took a lot of courage to pour out her feelings to Xia Chu. But before the words came out of her mouth, she was rejected righteously by him, saying that he had already committed his heart to others in this life. , leaving no trace of space for others.
Su Qianle's last remaining hope was completely destroyed by him. She was hysterical and just told the truth. Lan Yuying cheated and took the lead from her.
Xia Chu actually got angry with Lan Yuying for the first time!
Su Qianle's eyes were filled with tears, her lips were trembling, and she was mumbling to herself. She didn't understand why Xia Chu treated her like this...
After that night, Shuanglu took her to see Xiao Yanjun.
Xiao Yanjun said a lot of confusing words to her, but she only listened to the last sentence. As long as she cooperated with Xiao Yanjun, Xia Chu would be with her for a long time...
Later, Su Qianan was sent to Hanyang by Xia Chu.
She knew the opportunity had come.
Once Su Qian'an left, she no longer had any scruples...
Concubine Li could understand why Raven could rush back to the capital so quickly.
But why could Su Qianan come back with Zhao Jiajun
"Master, empress." Ji Bai, a member of the mausoleum sect who was observing the situation outside, returned to the Shi Mansion and knelt down before the masked man and Concubine Li.
"Who is leading the army?" Li Fei asked.
"Old General Zhao personally led the troops. It seems that there are about 200,000 soldiers in the formation, and they are almost at the foot of the North City Gate." Ji Bai replied truthfully.
Even Li Fei, who had always been calm and composed, was also shocked by his reply.
Although the people who first retreated at Lingmen said that the army outside the city was returning to support under the banner of Zhao's army, they only now knew that it was Zhao Dingshan who personally led the 200,000-strong army.
Li Fei tightened her grip on the armrest of the chair. After taking a few deep breaths, she stood up with a calm face and hurriedly walked out of the house.
Xiao Mubai and his party took advantage of the opportunity when the rebels temporarily retreated to the city gate to quickly take stock of the current situation.
Xiang Chengfang immediately led the imperial doctors to check on the wounded at each city gate. What surprised Xia Chu was that Yuan Guangyi, who had been under house arrest in the imperial hospital, mysteriously disappeared.
None of the wounded defenders were willing to withdraw for treatment. There were not many soldiers left in the palace. If Shi Fuqiu sent another group of troops to attack, they would be caught off guard.
Xiao Zimu went to the Palace of Supreme Harmony to appease the civil servants in the palace. Now they were finally able to come out and show their heads. The vermilion palace walls were now stained more vividly with blood. The blue city bricks on the walls were covered with frost, and there were arrows blowing everywhere. Mark of.
This majestic and solemn palace now looks as if someone has used a broadsword to make countless scars randomly and harshly.
As a veteran of three dynasties, Taifu Wu burst into tears when he saw such a scene. He covered his face with his forehead and couldn't bear to look at it.
The Xiao Kingdom has experienced countless battles, large and small, but never once has it been so chilling as today.
This is the imperial city...
While Xia Chu was treating the seriously injured people Xiang Chengfang had sent over, he asked Raven to explain in detail why General Zhao led his troops back to Beijing.
Fortunately, Su Qian'an knew that Xia Chu would definitely ask these questions when he saw Raven. On the way back to Beijing, even though Raven was impatient, she kept telling him over and over again what he should report.
After Xia Chu listened to Raven's words, he realized that in fact, during the last time General Zhao returned to the capital, Ri Rijin and the emperor were not just chatting and chatting. The two of them had already arranged everything in private.
The emperor gave General Zhao the command to mobilize troops from several cities, just waiting for an opportunity to force Concubine Li to prove her crimes and catch them all.
Just like Du Hanfei, if the emperor doesn't move, that's it. Once he does, there will be no way for her to turn around.
The real number of 210,000 troops that General Zhao brought back was actually only 30,000 from the Zhao family army. The 30,000 that General Zhao brought back was not brought back this time, but the 30,000 that General Zhao brought back last time he returned to Beijing. Ten thousand troops.
When he left Beijing, he did not bring these 30,000 people back to Hanyang. Instead, he led them out of several cities in disguise and stayed in various prefectures in batches.
The remaining 180,000-strong army was just returning to Beijing along the way. Su Qian'an took the warrant issued by the emperor in advance. Raven followed him closely for personal protection and dispatched garrison troops from various cities in turn.
Then he went all the way north and sent his troops back to Beijing...
