Longevity Martial Arts Begins by Taking Care of the Queen

Zhengjing City, south.

On the extremely wide official road, a large army was marching, only ten miles away from Zhengjing City.

This army has many flags, among which there is only one that is the largest and most conspicuous, with the word "Champion" written on it. The flags are flying, showing high spirits.

In front of the army, there is a young man, riding a pure black divine horse. He has a heroic appearance, sword eyebrows and starry eyes. He is full of arrogance, like an unsheathed divine sword, and wants to be as high as the sky.

This person is the champion of the Daqian Dynasty.

Looking at the most powerful city in the world ten miles away, the champion raised his right hand, and the army behind him suddenly stopped advancing. They were uniform and in step, obviously an elite army.

"I am back."

The corner of the champion's mouth was slightly raised, a bright light flashed in his sword eyes, and his whole person exuded an inexplicable temperament.

When he comes back this time, he has no intention of leaving again. After many years of planning, he will definitely succeed now.

"go ahead!"

The champion waved his hand again, and then led the way towards the capital city. The army set up camp on the spot, and only a hundred riders went with the champion.

When the champion led hundreds of cavalry into Zhengjing City, the entire city of Zhengjing paid attention, wanting to know what the champion would do first and who he would meet after returning to the capital.

To the dismay of some people, the champion went straight to his mansion, and after entering the mansion, he closed the door and thanked the guests without even entering the palace to meet the saint.

This behavior aroused the anger of all imperial parties. The champion was too wanton.

He guarded the southeast of the Daqian Dynasty, shouldering heavy responsibilities and shouldering heavy responsibilities. He left his post without the consent of Emperor Qian and led 300,000 pro-troops back to the capital.

These 300,000 troops are stationed majestically on the plain ten miles south of Zhengjing City. Are they planning to rebel?

After the champion entered the capital city, he did not enter the palace immediately to face the saint. Instead, he hid in his own mansion, plotting something unknown, which made all the imperial parties angry.

However, no one has spoken yet. They are all waiting for a signal. If Emperor Qian or the cavalry general Cao Ze comes forward, they will definitely support him.

But what surprised everyone was that neither Emperor Qian nor the rising cavalry general Cao Ze had any reaction to the champion candidate's return to Beijing, as if they had not received the news.

Only those with keen eyes noticed the difference.

Emperor Qian and the cavalry general Cao Ze were not unresponsive, but were preparing some big killing move.

That's exactly what happened.

Cao Ze had a secret conversation with the Empress a few days ago, telling her not to act rashly and to just leave everything to him.

These days, Cao Ze has been waiting for the champion to return to Beijing.

At that time, he will attack Chu Yuan, the three kings, the champion candidates and others, and directly capture them all, and kill them all.

When the champion candidate returned to Beijing, Cao Ze received the news immediately, and he knew it was almost time to take action.

Since he entered the capital under the imperial edict, General Chu Yuan has been targeting him everywhere. The three kings secretly supported Chu Yuan. After he defeated Chu Yuan, these people calmed down for a while.

Now Chu Yuan, the three kings and others colluded with the champion, Xiliang King Xu Ping and others, and simultaneously plotted against Cao Ze inside and outside Zhengjing City.

Tolerable or unbearable!

Therefore, Cao Ze planned to kill all the rebels such as the champion, the general Chu Yuan, the three kings, etc., to eliminate them all at once, so as not to keep plotting against him secretly.

Royal Palace, Pixiang Hall.

The empress was taking a bath in the bath, while Qingluan was sitting by the bath with a pair of jade legs in the bath.

The empress swam in the bath for a while, then swam to Qingluan and leaned against him lazily.

"Qingluan, I heard that the champion is back?" The empress' beautiful eyes flashed and she suddenly asked.

Qingluan was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "I just arrived at the mansion in the capital half an hour ago."

The empress nodded slightly, her beautiful and flawless face changing expressions, and after a while she said softly: "Young Master won't let us interfere, do we really want to do this?"

She felt bad, Cao Ze was helping her, how could she let Cao Ze fight on his own?

Moreover, this matter was too important, related to the future of her and the Daqian Dynasty, and the empress wanted to get involved.

Although the power she holds in her hands is not much, it is still considerable and can provide some support. These powers of hers can play a great role when the battle situation is stalemate.

The empress looked at Qingluan expectantly, but Qingluan poured cold water on her without mercy.

"Long Ji, although I don't like Cao Ze, I think we should listen to him on this matter."

"Why?" The empress looked surprised. She thought Qingluan would support her.

After all, Qingluan and Cao Ze had never dealt with each other. Every time Cao Ze finished discussing with her, after Cao Ze left, Qingluan would always mutter a few words and express some objections, but the empress would not listen every time.

This time she planned to unite the front with Qingluan, but she didn't expect that Qingluan, a little girl, would take the lead in "rebellion" and unite with Cao Ze.

"Longji, be careful they lure the tiger away from the mountain and take risks." Qingluan pursed her red lips and expressed her worries.

She had wanted to take action before and officially become famous in the world through this battle, but Cao Ze said something to her through a message and changed Qingluan's mind.

She needs to protect the empress Zhao Longji.

Otherwise, the champion, the general Chu Yuan, the three kings and others will come up with a plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain, attract Cao Ze's power, and then take desperate risks to directly force the palace, or even plot to kill the emperor and usurp the throne. Who will protect the safety of the empress?

The Empress has too little power in her hands, and the only forces she can mobilize are one Celestial Grand Master, two legions with the Celestial Grand Master's combat power, and Qingluan.

This small amount of power will not be of much use in the battle, but it is crucial to protect the safety of the empress.

Otherwise, if something happens to the empress, it will be useless for Cao Ze to win a major victory.

The empress was silent, she knew Qingluan was right.

Now the capital city seems calm, but in fact there are turbulent undercurrents, the storm is about to come, and the terrifying storm has already brewed and grown stronger.

She and the general Chu Yuan, the champion, the three kings and others are already on opposite sides, and are about to have a life-or-death showdown. Unless she is willing to abdicate, this decisive battle is unavoidable, and both sides will inevitably fight to the death.

abdicate?

Naturally, the empress refused. She had only become Emperor Qian not long ago and had not yet realized her ambition. How could she abdicate so hastily?

If the situation was bad before and she was in a desperate situation, she would have thought of temporarily abdicating the throne, retreating in order to advance, causing civil strife among Chu Yuan, the three kings and others, intensifying the conflict, and then re-emerging.

But now that she has the upper hand, how can she retreat instead of advance in this situation?

Only enter!

Continuously advancing, forcing the general Chu Yuan, the champion, the three kings and others to a dead end and killing them all, she can be at ease as the Qian Emperor, display her ambitions, and lead the Daqian Dynasty, the Yunyang Empire, and the Xuanzhen Dynasty. Fight.

If we can't even resolve internal conflicts, how can we talk about unifying the world?

"Then let's act according to the plan." The empress thought for a while and said.

Since Cao Ze and Qingluan, the two people she trusted the most, had agreed on the same opinion, the empress did not have her own way.

When Qingluan heard this, a smile appeared on his cold face.

Tang Palace.

The melodious sound of the flute sounded by the lake.

A stunning beauty in an emerald green dress stood in a pavilion by the lake, holding an emerald jade flute in her slender hand and playing it to her mouth.

At this time, a burst of hurried footsteps sounded in the pavilion. The beauty in the green skirt could not help but frown slightly, but she did not stop playing the jade flute.

The prince of Tang Dynasty ran to the fifth floor panting. When he saw his sister playing the flute, he didn't care about panting and said quickly: "Sister, there is news." "Say." The beauty in the green skirt lit up her beautiful eyes and spoke melodiously. The sound of the flute suddenly stopped.

This stunning beauty playing the jade flute is the sister of the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty and Princess Weiyang, the eldest daughter of the Prince of Tang.

"The champion has just led hundreds of cavalry into the capital. Now he has returned to his mansion in the capital. He closed the door to thank guests and saw no one."

"The champion has brought back three legions this time. Each legion has a hundred thousand soldiers. They are all the champion's personal soldiers. They are all the best among the elite. Each legion has a combat power comparable to the great master of heaven. .”

Prince Tang told all the news he had learned in one breath.

Hearing this, Princess Weiyang frowned slightly, and whispered to herself: "The champion is coming from an unkind person."

"What's wrong with this person?" Prince Tang asked curiously.

"Nothing, just go down."

Princess Weiyang waved her hand and asked her brother to leave.

Her younger brother is not sensitive to these matters at all, and Princess Weiyang does not want him to be involved, otherwise it will only increase the distress.

"Ok."

Prince Tang did not ask any further questions, and immediately turned around and went downstairs. As soon as he reached the stairs, he remembered something and said quickly:

"Sister, don't forget what you promised me."

The reason why he was so active in asking for information from Princess Weiyang was because Princess Weiyang promised to do him a favor.

"I won't forget."

The clear voice of Princess Weiyang came, and Prince Tang Prince left with peace of mind.

Seeing her brother leaving, Princess Weiyang picked up the green jade flute and put it to her mouth, wanting to play it again, but she quickly put it down again.

Looking at the lake outside the pavilion, with its sparkling waves and pleasant scenery, Princess Weiyang murmured to herself: "Can Shaoqing Cao withstand it this time?"

This time the champion is coming with great force. As the saying goes, no good will come until no good comes, and he is ready to fight to the death.

Cao Ze's opponents were not only the champion, but also the generals Chu Yuan, King Xu, King Yan, King Zhenwu and others.

This time the champion has come, and he has brought all his elite soldiers with him. I am afraid that all the masters and strong men under his command have also returned to the capital city.

Coupled with General Chu Yuan and the masters and strong men under the three kings, it is definitely an extremely terrifying force.

And how much power does Cao Ze have here?

Originally, Cao Ze was on his own, but later he won the support of the four great princes. However, after the Northwest Incident, the champion returned to Beijing, and Cao Ze had to send the four princes to the northwest and southeast respectively, which greatly weakened Cao Ze's power. strength.

Now, Cao Ze apparently only has the power under his command. The Empress' power is already weak, so she may not be able to support him.

Among the many powerful neutrals such as the Imperial Preceptor, the Prime Minister, the Grand Tutor, the Hussar General, and the Chief of Jingyesi, the only one standing on Cao Ze's side was Ye Jianjia, the Chief of Jingyesi.

There is a big gap between Daqian Imperial Master and Cao Ze, and it is impossible to help him. However, the prime minister, Taifu, Hussar General and others have not expressed their attitude and continue to maintain neutrality. There is a great possibility that they will not get involved in this matter.

Even with the support of Jing Yesi, Cao Ze may not be able to withstand the joint efforts of General Chu Yuan, the champion, the three kings, the national adviser and other parties.

Unless the Chenliu Cao family continues to send strong men to Beijing to support Cao Ze.

However, the Daqian Dynasty included not only the Chenliu Cao family, but also the Pingqiu Song family, the Nanyang Tang family, as well as the Longhu Mountain, Daxuankong Temple, Sun and Moon Demon Sect, Shushan Sword Sect, Zuowang Daolu, Wudu Sect, and Yujian Sect. Villa and many other top forces in the world.

Except for forces such as Longhu Mountain and Daxuankong Temple that always adhere to neutrality, no one knows whether other top forces in the world will intervene.

Princess Weiyang believes that Chu Yuan, the three kings and even the champion candidates have more or less reached an alliance with some of the top forces in the world, and will dispatch the Grand Master of Heavenly Man to fight for them.

This had happened before. The master of Huangji Palace and the two Heavenly Elders of Chunyang Palace had taken action and stood on the opposite side of Cao Ze.

Therefore, Princess Weiyang is inevitably a little worried.

"Unless Cao Shaoqing can continue to create miracles." Princess Weiyang whispered in her heart.

At the age of twenty-two, Cao Ze had already mastered half-step of the mastery of heaven and earth. It can be said that he had created a miracle, but if that was all, he would not be able to withstand the storm of this decisive battle.

Only by showing more powerful strength can Cao Ze overwhelm the heroes, clear the universe in one fell swoop, clean up the world, defend the country and put an end to chaos, respect the king and fight against the barbarians, and restore a bright future to the Qian Dynasty.

Cao Mansion.

Zhengxin Palace.

Cao Ze, Xue Ningmei, Cao Zhengyu, Cao Feixue and others gathered together.

"Uncle, are everything ready?"

Cao Ze looked at his uncle Cao Zhengyu with a calm expression.

Cao Ze had already expected that the champion candidate would enter the capital. He had been waiting for the opponent to arrive, so he did not have any emotional fluctuations.

"Everything is ready." Cao Zhengyu nodded and responded in a deep voice.

Cao Ze turned to look at Cao Feixue again.

Cao Feixue said quickly: "Young Master, the Jin Yiwei are paying close attention to your orders. If there is any trouble, my subordinates will report it as soon as possible."

Cao Ze nodded slightly, then gave the two of them some instructions before letting Cao Zhengyu and Cao Feixue leave.

"Ningmei, I have to go to Jingyesi, so you can stay at home." Cao Ze said to Xue Ningmei.

Xue Ningmei nodded and had no objection to this.

She wasn't used to going to Jingyesi, to be precise she didn't want to see Ye Jianjia.

That woman was too strong, and Xue Ningmei felt a little awkward every time she saw Ye Jianjia's appraising eyes.

After explaining everything, Cao Ze disappeared from the Cao Mansion and quietly fled to Jingyesi.

He did still have some things he wanted to discuss with Ye Jianjia.

The general Chu Yuan, the three kings, the national master, the champion candidate, and others all have considerable power. The only one Cao Ze is not sure about is the champion candidate.

The main reason was that the champion was far away in the southeast, and the two had never met each other. Cao Ze also did not deliberately inquire about the champion, so he knew little about his details.

This decisive battle is of great importance, and Cao Ze does not dare to be careless, so he must be fully prepared to eliminate any hidden dangers.

Golden Gate Pass.

Qinglonghou, Zhuquehou and Xuanwuhou led their masters towards the General's Mansion, their minds on alert.

Everyone knows that a war may break out at any time. (End of chapter)
