Chapter 121

When the convoy from the Northern Palace left Anping City, some people in the Palace were actually a little nervous. They were all worried that the cavalry outside Anping City were actually barbarian cavalry.

However, after they left the city gate, they found that the cavalry were still standing guard and did not do anything to the convoy of the palace. Only then did people feel relieved.

At this time, a carriage in the convoy opened the curtain, and Lin Wanyun and Chen Wanrong carefully looked at the heavy cavalry in black armor through the window.

Seeing that the leader of the army is a grand master, Chen Wanrong raised her willow eyebrows slightly.

At this time, Lin Wanyun said: "These people really don't look like barbarians, but they also don't look like heavy cavalry from Great Xia."

Chen Wanrong didn't speak, and she naturally discovered this.

There are some differences between the barbarians and the Bactrians, which can be easily identified.

The soldiers of this cavalry looked very much like Bactrians at first glance, but Batu Xia didn't seem to have heavy cavalry in black standard armor.

The heavy cavalry of Daxia used silver light armor, not black, so these heavy cavalry were probably not heavy cavalry of Daxia either.

That's weird.

The 5000 heavy cavalry were neither barbarian nor Daxia, so where did they come from?
Can the King of the North conjure an army out of thin air?
Lin Wanyun made a bold guess again, "Could these cavalry come from other dynasties?"

Since it is not from Daxia, nor from barbarians, and it is even more impossible to be from Beijun, then there is only one last possibility. These cavalry are foreign aid invited by the Northern King from other dynasties!

At this time, Chen Wanrong said softly: "Aunt Lin, to the north is the barbarians, to the west is Dayue, to the south is Daxia, and to the east is the sea."

Chen Wanrong did not directly deny Lin Wanyun's guess, but her words clearly indicated that Lin Wanyun's guess was also unlikely.

First of all, apart from Daxia, the only dynasty that relies on Beijun is the Dayue Dynasty, which has no heavy cavalry. If the dynasty borrowed it, it must go through Daxia, or Dayue.

A heavy cavalry of 5000 men will attract people's attention after passing through any dynasty.

These are heavy cavalry with full armour, not ordinary soldiers with 5000 men. Once the heavy cavalry is released on the road, the surrounding countries or dynasties will soon know that you have mobilized heavy cavalry.

It is impossible for the King of the North to quietly transport this heavy cavalry to Beijun from the sea, right?
At this moment, the leader of the black cavalry suddenly left the cavalry phalanx and went straight to the convoy.

Seeing this scene, Lin Wanyun immediately became nervous.

The commander of this cavalry looks very unusual, he seems to be a fierce soldier who came out of the underworld, he has a very strong evil spirit, and I don't know how many people have killed so many people to have such a strong evil spirit.

But fortunately, the grandmaster-level leader did not come to their car, but to the carriage of Princess Mu Zixuan.

Xuanyuanchen came to Mu Zixuan's carriage, got off the horse immediately, squatted down and said: "The last general Xuanyuanchen pays homage to the princess!"

Mu Zixuan, who was looking out through the car window, saw this scene, and immediately said: "General Xuanyuan, please get up!"

At this time, the people in the carriage behind and behind Mu Zixuan opened the curtains, slightly stuck their heads out of the window, and looked towards Mu Zixuan.

Xuanyuan Chen said "Xie Wangfei" and got up from the ground.

At this time, Mu Zixuan asked curiously: "General Xuanyuan, I heard that the prince led soldiers from Beijun to kill 20 barbarian soldiers. Is this true?"

Xuanyuan Chen immediately replied: "Back to Wangfei, this matter is absolutely true."

"Not only that, we also captured [-] barbarian soldiers."

Hearing Xuanyuan Chen's answer, Chu Qingli, who had been expressionless in a certain carriage, couldn't help but frown.

Judging from this Xuanyuan Chen's attitude towards Mu Zixuan, it seems that this Xuanyuan Chen is really a general under the Northern King?
Even if the barbarians want to trick Bei Wangfei to go north, now that the convoy of Bei Wangfu has already left the city, there is no need for them to continue the show.

And this seems to be a grand master general.

Chu Qingli could feel the evil spirit on his body and the domineering warrior aura.

Does a barbarian general at the master level need to act in front of the Northern Princess?
"Barbarian warriors" usually don't kneel to women, this is common sense that even the people of Daxia know.

But just now Xuanyuan Chen half-kneeled in front of Mu Zixuan, which proves that this Xuanyuan Chen is probably not a barbarian general.

Chu Qingli's heart was half cold.

Originally, she was ready to run away with her sister, but Xuanyuan Chen ran to the princess and knelt down on one knee.

Lin Wanyun and Chen Wanrong were also surprised.

The moment Xuanyuan Chen half-kneeled to the Northern Princess, it showed that this heavy cavalry was the heavy cavalry of the Northern Palace, otherwise it would be impossible for the general to half-kneel to the Northern Princess.

"In this era", generally only soldiers who specially recognized the hostess would half-kneel in front of the hostess.

To put it more simply, if Xuanyuanchen only recognized the Northern King, he didn't need to bow to Mu Zixuan, and other generals in Daxia also didn't need to bow to Mu Zixuan when they saw Mu Zixuan. That's it.

When he performed this salute, to a certain extent, it was as if he was saying, "I see the northern princess as if I were seeing the northern king."

At this time, Chen Wanrong murmured: "It seems that the whole Great Xia has been deceived by the Northern King."

Lin Wanyun said worriedly: "Palace Master, let's leave Beijun directly. Beiwang is not a mediocre person. He must have seen that we have ulterior motives in approaching him."

Bei Wang secretly accumulated such a huge power, which is enough to show that his scheming is very deep. How could this kind of person fail to see that Xuanyue Palace approached him for a purpose.

If the King of the North found out that Xuanyue Palace wanted to use love Gu to control him, the King of the North would probably be disadvantageous to them.

Chen Wanrong said at this time: "If a person has desires, he will be able to control it better. He has secretly accumulated such a huge power, it must be for the position in the capital."

"Xuanyue Palace should help him even more at this time."

Lin Wanyun instantly understood what Chen Wanrong meant. Chen Wanrong wanted to treat Lu Chen as a puppet, and then fight to the death with Emperor Xia. In the end, they would reap the benefits of Xuanyue Palace.

Chen Wanrong's idea is very simple, since the Northern King has accumulated such a huge amount of power, he should first control the Northern King, and then let the Northern King and Xia Huang fight to the death first.

And it didn't delay them from using Lu Chen to refine the Fulong Curse.

Originally, Lu Chen was only valuable for refining the Fulong Curse, but now Lu Chen's value in Chen Wanrong's heart has risen to a new level.

After hearing Chen Wanrong's words, Lin Wanyun sighed in her heart and said nothing more.

At this time, the team continued to move forward.

……

Great Xia Dynasty.

Capital City, Xuanzheng Hall.

Today, as usual, Emperor Xia lost his temper in court again.

"After searching for so long, I didn't even find the shadow of an assassin. What use is there for your Ministry of Punishment!!!"

Hearing Emperor Xia's roar, all the officials of the Ministry of Punishment trembled, not daring to take a breath.

Originally, Emperor Xia only gave the Ministry of Justice a few days to investigate the bloodbath of the eighth prince's mansion, but after a few days passed, they had no news about the assassins at all, and whoever was so clever later came to find someone from the Blood Moon Tower The assassin came to take the blame, saying that the assassin of Xueyuelou had a grudge against the eighth prince, so he wanted to assassinate the eighth prince.

But Xia Huang is so easy to fool, Xia Huang soon got the news that the owner of the Blood Moon Tower had died in Beijun long ago. Although he didn't know how he died, the Blood Moon Tower in the capital had already existed in name only.

This is obviously because the Ministry of Criminal Justice did not find the real assassin, so it pulled Xueyuelou out to take the blame.

Later, Emperor Xia dealt with a group of officials from the Ministry of Punishment, and gave them some time to continue their investigation.

As a result, there is still no trace.

The officials of the Ministry of Criminal Justice know that the Northern King and the Eighth Prince have conflicts, but the Northern King is a waste, and they can't put the blame on the Northern King. If they push the crime on the Northern King, I'm afraid it will make Emperor Xia even more angry .

At this moment, Prime Minister Lin Gaoyuan bit the bullet and said: "Your Majesty, it is important to find the assassin who assassinated the Eighth Prince, but the most important thing right now is the situation in the Northland."

Lin Gaoyuan cared more about the situation in the Northland than anyone else in the court, after all, it was his son who led the troops.

After hearing Lin Gaoyuan's reminder, Emperor Xia calmed down, and then said to the people in the Ministry of Punishment: "I will give you three more days, if you still can't find anything, you can consider the consequences yourself."

Speaking of this, Emperor Xia was about to sit down when suddenly a soldier's voice came from outside the Xuanzheng Hall.

"Northern Victory!!!"

Hearing this, the ministers in the Xuanzheng Hall were all stunned.

Great victory?

Can there still be a big victory at this time?
With the [-] soldiers of the imperial court, plus the old, weak, sick and disabled in Beijun, it is already very good to be able to hold Beijun.

How could there be a big victory.

At a glance, it is clear that the generals on the front line forged victory reports in order to lie about their military achievements.

Thinking that the person who led the troops to the north was the son of Left Prime Minister Lin Gaoyuan, the people in the faction of Right Prime Minister Zhao Wenhan swallowed their saliva, moistened their throats, and immediately made preparations to impeach Lin Xiuming for forging the victory report.

But when the red silk messenger entered the hall, the words of the red silk messenger directly silenced the entire court, falling into a deathly silence.

After entering the Xuanzheng Hall, the red silk messenger immediately knelt down, held up the battle report with both hands, and shouted with all his strength: "Your Majesty, the King of the North led the soldiers of Beijun to fight bravely. They killed 20 barbarian soldiers and captured [-] barbarian soldiers!"

As soon as these words came out, like a heavy bomb, the whole court exploded in an instant.

All the ministers were dumbfounded.

They have seen fake battle reports, but they have never seen such a fake battle report!
Kill 20 barbarians?
What a joke!
As far as the soldiers in Beijun are concerned, it is already very good to be able to withstand the barbarian attack.

Also beheaded 20 barbarian soldiers?
20 ordinary people were massacred by the barbarians, which is almost the same!
Who wrote this battle report?

This is not a battle report, it is written on it with all ten clans!

 I updated [-] words yesterday, but there is no five-star praise, it hurts my heart.
