I, the ninth grade county magistrate, scare the empress to tears at the beginning!

Shura Hall is located on the border of Youzhou, in a deserted place.

It is an inaccessible place with no human habitation within a radius of ten miles. The only few small villages were recently slaughtered by the people of Shura Palace, and now they have become a barren land. No one, no matter herdsmen or traders, dared to set foot here easily.

But today, when the Black Tiger Army and the Youzhou State Army arrived at the outskirts of the Shura Palace, they saw that the mountains and plains were filled with soldiers from the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, they are the troops sent by the traitor Su Quan to support the Shura Palace. Judging from the size, there are about more than 60,000 people!" Luo Yangqiu, the governor of Youzhou County, after receiving the investigation information from the scouts, told Jiang Linglong Report.

When he learned this information, he was shocked. As expected, Shura Palace was colluding with Su Quan! Fortunately, he had not rashly sent out troops to encircle Shura Palace before, otherwise the Youzhou Army would have been ambushed by these 50,000 elites and would have been completely wiped out.

"More than 50,000 troops entered Youzhou, but you didn't know it. They must be an elite force. Who is leading the troops?" Jiang Linglong asked.

"The commander of the imperial capital's imperial army, highly skilled in martial arts."

"Bodhisattva Su Quanni was unable to protect himself when crossing the river, yet he dared to send troops to support the Shura Palace." Jiang Linglong immediately became high-spirited. Su Quan's people had been hiding in the imperial capital before, so she had no chance to make a move. When this large group of troops came to Youzhou, it was like a wolf entering a tiger's mouth.

Jiang Linglong was asking about the situation when she suddenly heard someone reporting loudly.

"Your Majesty, Gao Jingwu, the commander of the Jinling Guards, would like to see you."

Luo Yangqiu immediately suggested that Gao Jingwu be killed.

"The two armies are fighting. Don't kill the envoy. Let him in!" Jiang Linglong ordered. She wanted to see what the other party wanted to do.

"Meet Your Highness the Ninth Princess." As soon as Gao Jingwu came in, he saluted Jiang Linglong very respectfully. But that "Ninth Princess", Your Highness, seemed particularly harsh. Jiang Linglong used to be the ninth princess of Zhou Dynasty, but is now the emperor, but Gao Jingwu still uses the previous title to show that he does not recognize Jiang Linglong's throne.

"Presumptuous! Disrespectful to His Majesty, here comes someone..." Luo Yangqiu shouted: "Arrest this person!"

A group of guards rushed forward, holding swords and swords, and surrounded Gao Jingwu.

"Your Highness, Ninth Princess, is this how you treat guests? It is inevitable that you lack magnanimity. When I came this time, I didn't even bring a weapon, and I didn't bring any soldiers with me." Gao Jingwu's tone was full of contempt, "Do you think that by killing me, you can defeat the 60,000 elite soldiers sent by the Prime Minister?"

"Step back first and let him finish his words." Jiang Linglong ordered. This was indeed not the time to take action. With Marquis Langya by her side, she was not worried about Gao Jingwu's resistance, but she had to consider the chain reaction caused by his death.

Once Gao Jingwu dies, the 60,000 elite soldiers and horses will surely be filled with hatred and righteous indignation. When the two armies are fighting, morale is particularly important. The death of Gao Jingwu will cause the enemy's morale to skyrocket. For Jiang Linglong, it is a loss-making business.

Moreover, Gao Jingwu did not lead any soldiers. He was polite first and then sent troops. If he were to be killed at this juncture, he would be ridiculed by people in the world.

The struggle against Su Quan was not only a military struggle, but also a struggle for the justice of the world and the will of the people. Since Jiang Linglong competed with Su Quan for the world in the name of restoring the orthodoxy of the Great Zhou Dynasty, everything he did must be in line with morality. "Your Highness the Ninth Princess really understands justice." Gao Jingwu was a little surprised. He probably didn't expect Jiang Linglong to be so rational. Today's Jiang Linglong is indeed much more mature than when she was a princess.

Gao Jingwu changed the subject and chuckled again: "Your Highness, Ninth Princess, I am here to persuade peace. The Prime Minister ordered me to lead 60,000 Jinling Guards to guard Youzhou. Once a war breaks out between the two sides, it will only destroy lives and weaken the power of Great Zhou." Strength. You know the strength of the Jinling Guards best. When Your Highness was born, the late Emperor Longyan Dayue selected the bravest men from soldiers and horses from all over the Great Zhou Dynasty to form this Jinling Guards. As a gift for your coming of age.”

Hearing this, Jiang Linglong frowned.

The Jinling Guards were indeed as Gao Jingwu said. They were a coming-of-age gift from the late emperor. Their combat effectiveness ranked first among the ten forbidden armies. They were also the trump card of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Other countries were quite afraid of the Jinling Guards.

Once, she saw a piece of information on the late emperor's desk, which ranked the imperial guards in the capitals of various countries. The Jinling Guards ranked first, which shows their strong combat power. They can be said to be the strongest in the Great Zhou Dynasty. A strong army.

However, this Jinling Guard, who made the late emperor extremely proud, chose to betray at the most critical moment. When Su Quan seized power, Gao Jingwu refused to carry out the order to defend the imperial family. Instead, he opened the gate of the imperial city and allowed the rebels to occupy the imperial city.

After that, Gao Jingwu accepted Su Quan's order and chased her all the way. Her master, Master Lu Baiman, was killed by the Jinling Guards. Now Gao Jingwu has completely become Su Quan's minion, committing countless murders.

Gao Jingwu has become a traitor, and his request for peace is by no means sincere. On the one hand, it is to delay time, and on the other hand, he is here to spy on the military situation. Jiang Linglong suspects that he is here to confirm Lu Yuan's presence.

"Su and I are in the same boat and can never coexist peacefully. You should go back." Jiang Linglong said calmly.

"Your Highness, can you really bear the destruction of Jinling Guard? Do you really can't bear to see Youzhou being swallowed up by the flames of war?"

Jiang Linglong was too lazy to listen to what he said about the Jinling Guards. Her tone suddenly rose and she asked: "Gao Jingwu, you are a general promoted by my father. When you took refuge with the treacherous Prime Minister Su Quan, the Jinling Guards massacred your colleagues. At that time, did you ever think that today would happen? Not only did I not die, I also made a comeback. I will make you pay for the numerous blood debts you have committed!"

"Haha, Your Highness is still as naive as before." Gao Jingwu smiled wildly and looked around, "Your Highness is unwilling to live in harmony, so let's meet on the battlefield. A bunch of rabble."

"A mob?" After hearing this, Marquis Langya took action directly, wanting to give Gao Jingwu some color.

But Jiang Linglong stretched out an arm, stopped her, and said: "Killing this kind of person will dirty the general's hands. Leave him to me. Breaking through the ninth level of Grandmaster requires a strong enemy."

"Destroy the enemy and eradicate the Shura Palace!"

Jiang Linglong would not let go of any opportunity to weaken Su Quan's strength, and immediately issued a combat order in the afternoon.

"Kill!" Jiang Linglong took the lead and rushed towards the enemy's battle formation. Commander Zhao and Luo Yangqiu followed closely behind, leading a group of soldiers to engage in a head-on confrontation with the Jinling Guards sent by Su Quan to weaken the enemy's strength.

The three great masters, Li Rou, Gu Changfeng, and Mo Xiaochou, followed Langya Marquis Zhu Xuan and raided into the Shura Hall, intending to cooperate with Jiang Linglong to cooperate inside and outside. (End of chapter)
