Chapter 783 – The Hot Man is Back

Xu Ling Yue also not have to figure out the identity of Mu Nan Jasmine, just this suddenly mixed into Xu House, and then was brought to the palace of the “elders”, show the big girl can’t look up to the reserve and arrogance.

She’s obviously so ordinary, so why is she so confident.

Of course Xu Ling Yue was curious.

Anyway, she stayed at home quite idle, making robes and boots for her father and elder brother and sister, reading books, and then there was nothing else to do.

In the past, there was still a little beaner in the house who would pester her, but since her youngest sister left for the southern border, the house has been much cleaner.

Occasionally will look at the human sect’s Taoist books, study the human sect’s heart method, when Xu Qi’an into the jianghu, she in order to cope with her mother’s “forced marriage”, borrowing the name of the big brother, successfully worship into the human sect, become a registered disciple of the Spiritual Treasure Guan, along with a kundao practice.

She had asked her big brother at the time, and he had agreed.

Idle, like to find something to do, just so happened that this woman called Mu Nanjia came.

“Auntie Mu, I’ll accompany you.”

Xu Lingyue got up with it and softly said:

“You may not know where Fengqi Palace is, I’ve been to the palace once and can lead the way for you.”

Mu Nanjia waved her hand, “No need, I’ll go by myself.”

She said in her heart, when my mother was hanging out in the harem in the beginning, you, a girl child, was not yet born.

Xu Lingyue reminded:

“Then you must not offend the Empress Dowager.”

Munanjia waved her hand again and walked out as she spoke:

“Don’t worry about it.”

She said to herself, “My old lady eclipsed the Empress Dowager at the age of fourteen, and I’m still afraid of this old woman?

Xu Ling Yue looked at Mu Nanjia’s back and fell into deep thought.

After half a quarter of an hour, the aunt came out of the backyard with a pot of pocket bamboos in her arms, a smile covering her delicate face.

“Huh, where’s your Aunt Mu.”

Auntie was about to share this beautiful and delightful bamboo pot with her good sister when she looked left and right and didn’t see anyone.

“Went to Phoenix Palace to trouble the Empress Dowager.”

Xu Ling Yue said in a soft tone.

The aunt was shocked at the words and hurriedly put the bamboo in her arms on the stone table and said sharply:

“Looking for trouble with the Empress Dowager? She’s a folk girl, going to mess with the Empress Dowager, isn’t that too long for her life.”

Xu Lingyue said in a thin voice:

“Mother, is Aunt Mu a fool?”

The aunt flinched and snapped:

“Look at you, you’re the one who’s stupid, half as stupid as Suzaku.”

She poked Xu Lingyue with her finger.

Xu Ling Yue said with an aggrieved face:

“Since it’s not a fool, then Auntie Mu naturally has a bottom in her heart, Mother, didn’t you realize that Auntie Mu is familiar with the palace, those messy official names, what kind of eunuch in charge of the seal eunuchs with brushes, open-mouthed.

“If I’m right, she’s either a royal clan member or a harem concubine.”

“Really?” Auntie’s mouth opened wide with a questioning look on her face:

“If she’s a concubine of the harem, or of a royal relative, what’s she doing in our house, you stupid girl, you just know how to think nonsense.”

Stupid girl Xu Lingyue sighed and lost interest in discussing with her mother, resting her cheek with one hand and staring at the pocket bamboo.

Auntie said:

“Mother went to Fengqi Palace to take a look, we can’t let your Aunt Mu offend the Empress Dowager, mother now knows, it turns out that the Empress Dowager doesn’t dare to offend mother either.”

Said, glanced at his daughter’s clear and elegant face, eyes big and bright, three-dimensional features, cherry mouth, delicate white skin, has fallen out of the pavilion.

“When the climate warms up, Mother will pick out a man of your choice, and it’s time for you to get married.” She said.

“Aiya, Mother, you should hurry up and go, if you’re slow, your good sister will be given death by the Empress Dowager.” Xu Ling Yue said impatiently.

“Help Auntie put the bamboo in the flower garden to get some sun.” Auntie left the yard with a hurried pace and her skirts flying.

Xu Lingyue rested her cheeks and narrowed her aura-filled eyes.

Hearing the marriage between Big Brother and Princess Lin’an, the reaction was so intense, this Aunt Mu, whether she was a concubine of the Harem or a royal clan, her relationship with Big Brother was by no means ordinary.

“Another ………”

Xu Lingyue sighed, her autumn eyes flowing as she looked towards the pocket bamboo in front of her.

She gently waved her sleeve, and a fresh wind dragged the potted plant, floating steadily over a distance of more than ten meters and falling into the flower garden.

Speaking of which, she had recently learned to drive objects, but she didn’t know what level it was, after all, it had been a long time since she had gone to the Spirit Treasure View, and she was all by herself, blindly grasping at things based on the Human Sect’s Heart Laws.

The seventh grade of Taoism – Qi Eating!

………..

The palace is very big, so big that the aunt walked panting, out of a fine sweat before arriving at Fengqi Palace.

She easily entered the harem without anyone stopping her, for one thing, her status was here, who in the harem would dare to offend? Secondly, the harem is a forbidden place for men, but not for women.

Thirdly, since the Empress took the throne, the harem has become less important.

Men are still not allowed to enter, but it has been turned into a retirement place for the dowagers.

Just arrived at the entrance of Fengqi Palace, aunt saw Mu Nanjian pinching her waist, majestically coming out, a look of a small hen who won the battle.

“Ling Yue said you came to Phoenix Palace.”

The aunt greeted her with concern:

“Nothing happened.”

“What can happen? I came here and it’s just like going home, Shangguan wasn’t a match for me back then and still isn’t a match for me now.” Mu Nanjian grunted twice.

She came to find the empress dowager to withdraw from the marriage, the empress dowager disagreed, a flaming and domineering confident and invincible flower goddess, a desireless oil and salt empress dowager, so they quarreled, each other yin and yang cynical and cynical.

In the end, it was Mounan Gardenia who won.

The Flower God has never lost a fight with a woman tearing her apart, and with a strand of string off and a padded foot point, she can overwhelm a woman in the sky.

Coupled with the coarse language learned during the travels of the jianghu, the Empress Dowager can be angry not light.

Mu Nanjian finished, fiercely realized that he got carried away and missed his words, and hurriedly looked at his aunt.

The aunt was relieved:

“That’s good, that’s good, by the way, who’s the OP?”

She completely did not notice out well …….. Mu Nanjian was relieved, and the feeling of hating each other rose in her heart, feeling that her aunt was a friend who could put her heart on the line.

“It’s fine, let’s go back.” Mu Nanjian pulled her aunt back.

The smile faded from her face and she looked depressed.

Although the quarrel was won, the purpose was not achieved, the Empress Dowager did not agree to withdraw from the marriage, of course, she also knew that with her own status and power, she could not influence the decision of the Empress Dowager.

Wait for Xu Ning Banquet to come back to say ………. The Flower God secretly made a decision, and just walked out not too far, when he saw Huaiqing, who was wearing the emperor’s regular clothes, riding a big whisky, slowly coming.

“Your Majesty!”

Auntie, a very disciplined noblewoman, bowed in a hurry.

Huaiqing’s face softened as he nodded his head and let out a “hmm”, and then, coldly glanced at the Flower God.

The latter returned her glare.

Both sides brushed past, Huaiqing took the big whisky to enter Fengqi Palace, under the assistance of the palace maid, she got off the big whisky, without the eunuchs informing her, all the way into the house, and saw the empress dowager’s face sitting on the edge of the case, a look of lingering anger.

“What happened to that woman? Didn’t she die in the North.”

Seeing her daughter’s arrival, the Empress Dowager loudly questioned.

“Has Mother taken a powder keg?”

Huaiqing knew it in his heart, but pretended not to know what was going on and faintly said:

“She didn’t die in the North, and followed Xu Qi’an back to the capital, becoming Xu Qi’an’s concubine.”

The Empress lightly said one sentence to put a lid on the Flower God.

Although the Empress Dowager had already expected, after hearing her daughter’s confirmation, she still found it absurd and unbelievable.

Mu Nan gardenia is much smaller than her, but also older than Xu Qi An 17 or 18 years old, he actually put Mu Nan gardenia golden house hiding pet to raise in the outside, the eyes can have the propriety, righteousness, honesty and shame?

Another reason for the empress dowager’s heart to resist is that Mu Nanjian was also once a concubine in Yuan Jing’s harem, a person of the same generation as her, while Xu Qi’an is a child generation in the empress dowager’s eyes.

That makes it hard.

“So, Mother withdrawing from the marriage is it.” Huaiqing was at his wits’ end.

“Why did you withdraw from the marriage!” The Empress Dowager said faintly:

“Surname Xu’s private morals are flawed, but since he and Lin’an are in love, it’s better than handing her over to someone he doesn’t love. Besides, in today’s Da Feng, who is more worthy of Lin An than him.”

Huaiqing’s face sank slightly, and his tone chilled a few points as he said:

“If you don’t know, you’d think that Lin An was born of the Queen Mother.”

The Empress Dowager’s tone was equally cold:

“She is the purest of the pure, more pleasing than you.”

There was another very simple reason, she hoped that the lovers would end up together, and she was content just to watch, as if thus making up for the regrets of that year.

Huaiqing glanced at her and said with an expressionless face:

“I’m not a purist, so even though I’m very unhappy right now, I still have to tell you one thing!”

The Empress looked at her.

Huaiqing said faintly:

“Yesterday, Wei Gong came back to life, he had already thought of a way out for himself before he donated his body, and for five months, Xu Qi’an had been trying to find a way to collect materials, refine magic weapons, and recall his soul.

“He won’t be coming to see you for a while; he says he wants to come to see you lightly, not with the hatred of his country on his back, as he did back then.”

After saying that, Huaiqing turned around and left.

The Empress Dowager sat frozen at the edge of the case, her face expressionless, two lines of tears sliding silently across her cheeks without end.

………..

A vast army of heavy cavalry crossed the border of Yuzhou and entered Qingzhou.

Nangong Qianrou didn’t rush the road, and after instructing the team to change to the Yunzhou flag, they pushed south at a speed that wasn’t too fast or too slow.

Heavy cavalry can’t run long distances, slow travel is the only way to last.

However, the purpose of Nangong Qianlou’s ordering the team to slow down was still not to conserve the stamina of the warhorses, but to wait for someone.

“General Nangong, this is a long way to Yunzhou. We’re marching slowly, so why don’t we switch to the waterway?”

The experienced deputy general sped up and caught up with Nangong Qianlou, driving alongside him.

With the speed of the heavy cavalry, Qingzhou to Yunzhou is at least half a month’s journey.

After traveling from the border of Yunzhou to Baidi City, it would take another three to five days.

That’s not counting the time it took to capture Baidi City.

Nangong Qianlou faintly said:

“There’s no rush, walk slowly.”

The Vice General wanted to say something, but eventually chose to trust Nangong Qianlou and Duke Wei.

Nangong Qianlou no longer speak, walking while examining the surrounding environment, since entering the Qingzhou, all the way traveling, people extinct.

Just five months of time, the Central Plains has become so depressed and miserable, even if the nature of some of the cool Nangong Qianru, inner feelings.

At noon, the heavy cavalry in slow motion suddenly perceived a great shadow looming over them.

Nangong Qianlou raised her head and narrowed her eyes, not panicking, instead, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

The massive Royal Wind Boat landed in front of the Heavy Cavalry, and on the edge of the boat’s side stood seven people, one of whom had his back to Cang Sheng.

Nangong Qianru looked at someone whose face was cold and lacked expression and laughed:

“It’s been a long time!”

Yang Yan nodded slightly.

The lieutenant general came to a sudden realization and tapped his head in surprise:

“So you were waiting for help.”

Nangong Qianlou picked the corner of her mouth:

“You can think of a slip-up that the Wei Guild can’t?”

As soon as the heavy cavalry left that abandoned military town and was seen by more than three bystanders, the art of shielding the heavens would dissolve itself, at which point, Righteous Father would remember that he had left behind a heavy cavalry.

With the wisdom of his righteous father, as long as he remembers the heavy cavalry, then all the mistakes in the plan, he will fill in and make up in his mind.

Things like lack of siege weapons, like slow marching speeds, etc.

Nangong Qianrou has followed Wei Yuan for so many years, and still has this confidence in Wei Yuan.

Yang Qianyi stood with his arms folded, his back to the heavy cavalry, and said indifferently:

“Ten thousand people, divided into three shipments, are expected to arrive in Yunzhou before dusk tomorrow, however, it’s not Baidi City we’re going to.”

Nangong Qianlou frowned:

“Not Whittier City?”

He had already learned from Huaiqing’s chief of guards that that lineage, five hundred years ago, had claimed the throne in Baidi City at the beginning of winter.

Yang Yan was not a talkative person and glanced at Chen Ying by his side, who said with a smile:

“It’s impossible for Yunzhou to have a Transcendent powerhouse, and with the main force of the army going north to Fajing, there won’t be too many defenders left behind, if not quite a few. They must have a means of defense against kettling, so given Yunzhou’s situation, what would it be?”

Nangong Qianru slightly pondered and said indistinctly:

“Hidden in the mountains, according to the dangerous passes, and depending on the terrain, they will be able to withstand ten times their strength.”

He looked at Chen Ying and tsked:

“You’ve got a pretty good head on your shoulders for a kid.”

Baby Chen grinned:

“Is Wei Gong left in the brocade bag said, I do not need to use the brain, Wei Gong how to say, I will do. When I first crusaded against Jing Shan City, it wasn’t like this, anyway, I never lost.”

He said, slapping the side of the boat once and laughing:

“Yang Qianyi is in charge of finding people, we’ll ride this magic weapon to directly airborne and end the rebel lair in one fell swoop.”

Yang Qianyi said obediently:

“The hand invites the moon to pick the stars, there is no one like me in the world.

“Cut the crap and come up here quickly.”

His tone was a bit eager, itching for an immediate triumph and then urging the historians of the Hanlin Academy to write this battle into the history books of the Great Feng.

The name is all figured out:

“Though Xu is clamoring, the death of Xu will be illusory–Yang Qianyi ends the Yunzhou Rebellion”.

Xu can be either Xu Pingfeng or Xu Qi’an, a double meaning of the word.

…………

The next day, the capital.

It was dawn and the cold wind was blowing in my face, not as cold as it had been half a month ago.

Civil and military officials in the sound of drums, through the Noon Gate, across the Jinshui Bridge, according to the official position in the officialdom, the steps stood, the princes are into the Golden Palace.

The empress did not let the eunuchs wait for a long time, and soon, wearing a dragon robe, wearing a crown, with a majestic and cold temperament, slowly ascended to the imperial seat under the eunuch’s support.

After the normal play right, Huaiqing’s phoenix eyes slightly narrowed, looking at all the public officials in the temple, said:

“Yesterday, I have ordered Yang Gong and others to evacuate Yongzhou and retreat to the capital, and the matter of laying down defenses, I will be obliged to have the concerted efforts of all the Secretaries.”

Her tone was cool and slow, as if she were talking about a trivial matter.

But to the ears of the gentlemen, it was like a bolt from the blue.

For a moment, the panic and anger that welled up in their hearts almost engulfed them.

Angry at the Empress for being arbitrary and headstrong.

Retreat to the capital?

But what if we can’t keep the capital?

You’re going to let the big state of Yongzhou go?

Isn’t that financing the enemy!

“How can Your Majesty be so confused?” Chief Counselor Qian Qingshu was shocked and angry:

“Tens of thousands of generals fought for their lives to hold Yongzhou, and only then did they fight off the enemy’s elite, so how can they give it up to the rebels?”

“Is Your Majesty trying to bring back the old events of five hundred years ago.” Radicals talk a little heavier.

“Confused, confused!” The professional spammer giver, on the other hand, showed no mercy and ranted:

“Is Your Majesty giving away the ancestral foundation! How can Your Majesty be worthy of the ancestors.”

I was close to cursing out the words of a dimwitted ruler and a woman who really can’t be used.

It is not surprising that the public’s mind exploded, because the enemy has already hit the doorstep, in the past, the rebel army of Yunzhou was raging, and after hitting the Qingzhou and hitting the Yongzhou, the public’s belly had a quiet atmosphere.

But this is because Qingzhou or Yongzhou, after all, has not yet reached the capital ah.

And now, there is no way to retreat, once the capital city is broken, all played out, has been related to personal interests, life and limb.

There are also some people who are annoyed that Huaiqing does not discuss things, and that such an important decision is actually arbitrary and woe to the country!

“All the ministers are at ease!”

The empress is clear and bright as a pool of eyes, well hidden banter, the reason why the concealment in advance, is to let the capital hundred officials to break the boat, so as to cohesion of the people, cohesion of financial and material resources.

Of course, the premise is to let the civil and military officials see the hope of victory.

To do otherwise is to play with fire.

Inside the temple, the clamor stopped a little.

All the princes are still full of indignation, or fear, or worry, the awareness of the lesser, has begun to think about the future of the situation has gone, in what position to join the enemy.

The empress said faintly:

“I would like to introduce a deceased person to the gentlemen.”

“Introduced” and “deceased” are contradictory terms that are somewhat confusing to you all.

The empress looked toward the door of the Golden Palace and said in a loud voice:

“Declare, Wei Yuan!”

The eunuchs looked back with a start and saw a green coat stepping over the high threshold in the green and dark sky, his temples graying and his eyes containing the vicissitudes of life precipitated by the years.

He walked across this long carpet as if he had traveled a long time to come before the princes again.

This man, come back!

……….
