Chen Palace

Chapter 72 Trap
Diji was wearing a satin dress with auspicious animal grape pattern, her hair was rich and graceful in a bun, her crescent eyebrows were lightly swept, and she was staring at him with a smile. The maid behind her was carefully holding a food box, which gave off a faint fragrance.

"You're really promising, you didn't even look at it, so you kicked people out!"

Diji's face was full of anger, and she complained to Sun Ming from the beginning, but Sun Ming didn't reply, but looked at her with a doting smile.

Yixin Emperor Ji snatched the food box from the maid and gently threw it into his arms——

"You man, you said you moved to the military camp, and you didn't return day and night... The food in this place is like a stone, how can you swallow it?!"

She was angry, but couldn't hide her intimacy and concern. Sun Ming took it happily, opened it, and saw that the four layers in the box were all his favorite elegant and clean dishes on weekdays, and he couldn't help feeling warm in his heart.

Di Ji watched him gobble up, looked left and right, since people knew that his husband and wife got together and had something private to talk about, she tactfully withdrew far away.

Empress Yixin took out something from her sleeve, under the savory fragrance, it was actually a piece of Xue Jian folded into Fang Sheng: "This is from Commander Qu in the palace!"

Sun Ming read two lines, and couldn't help but suddenly changed——

"How dare they...!"

"What dare not?!"

Di Ji sneered and said: "Didn't you hear that, you are willing to cut yourself to pieces, and dare to pull the emperor off the horse... These people have been fattened by money, and they don't even care about the danger of killing themselves!"

"But they are the officials of my dynasty!!"

Sun Ming was almost heartbroken: "The Son of Heaven is on an expedition for the sake of the country and the country. These people dare to tamper with the military supplies. Do they really want to be the subjects of the Tatars?"

As he spoke, his face was already pale, and he stood up suddenly: "I want to go to the palace to meet Qu Yun!"

"It's already been prepared for you!"

Di Ji lightly clapped her hands, and a maidservant came in from the outside, holding a package in her hand, when she opened it, it was a full set of guard uniforms, and a golden and black iron waist plate pinched in the middle was the pass for the Xihua Gate .

"When you enter the palace so aggressively, the entire palace is full of other people's eyes and ears——Or Commander Qu is thoughtful!"

Sun Ming didn't answer, just nodded slightly, and was about to rush out, but was grabbed by Di Ji: "Put on the oil coat before going!"

There was a bang outside, and the heavy rain was already pouring.

In the handsome tent, a huge candle made of beeswax was burning high, illuminating the tent like daytime. Yuan Qi leaned over the desk and was carefully examining the sheepskin picture scroll with the crystal lens on the Red Yi Kingdom Tribute.

The scroll was already very dim, the lines and characters on it were like cobwebs, reddish brown and mottled, but it was the most complete map in the whole northern Xinjiang.

Yuan Qi stared at it for a long time, and he had a clear idea in his heart, but the key point was still puzzling.He simply put down his glasses, got up and paced.

Thinking of the scene during the day, the young emperor's heart was filled with clusters of flames——

King Xiang was like meat on a hob, blindly crying and pleading guilty, but Zhou Jun just sneered, with an unruly look, and finally, he simply ridiculed King Xiang in front of the imperial court as "different people".King Xiang was "burdened with grief and anger" and pretended to kill himself in front of the imperial court. The soldiers on both sides could clearly hear them from outside the tent, and under the swearing and cursing, they moved their hands!

All of a sudden, the conflict between the Zhenbei Army and Prince Xiang's Mansion became intense at this moment.

Seeing that the internal strife was about to start, Yuan Qi couldn't bear it any longer, and stood up awe-inspiringly: "The two of you should lead your own troops, line up in front of the formation, and fight to the death."

His voice was light, but it was gloomy and empty. The two people in front of the case felt terrified when they heard it.

Seeing that the emperor was furious, they didn't even think about a real fight, so they each restrained their subordinates, and the farce came to an end.

"Bastard... what a shame!!"

Yuan Qi remembered that scene, gritted his teeth and murmured, but saw that the curtain was lifted, and the beautiful woman who was like ice and snow on a high mountain was entering with a wax pill.

He took a look at it, sneered and burned the candle, and said leisurely: "Sure enough, he couldn't bear it anymore, and made up his mind on military supplies... Forget it, Qu Qing and the son-in-law will take care of it."

He turned his head and saw that Chen Lu was actually wearing a cool satin gown, he couldn't help frowning and asked, "Why don't you add another dress?"

Although it was early summer at this time, it was quite different from the heat and suffocation of the capital city because of the coolness outside the Great Wall and the cool night.

Although he blamed him, he was full of love and concern.

Chen Lu's eyes flickered, but he still replied calmly: "People who practice martial arts don't pay so much attention—when I return the bill, just add a waistcoat!"

Yuan Qi listened, but couldn't help her, sighed, and put his cloak on her shoulders——

"Give it back to me when you return to Beijing!"

Chen Lu trembled slightly, and the cloak on her shoulders was like a piece of hot red charcoal, which could burn people to death. She hesitated for a moment, but finally did not take it off.

Yuan Qi was also a little uncomfortable, looked at the map, and changed the topic to the business——

"What do you think of the current situation?"

Chen Lu met his gaze and said without hesitation: "We have fallen into Hulu's trap."

She pondered, and asked the emperor back, "Has Your Majesty already seen through it?"

Yuan Qi nodded slightly: "Although I have not experienced in the army, I have seen a thing or two,"

Pointing to the map, he said frankly, "Our army is attacking from two directions. We wanted to take advantage of the fact that Hulu Khan was empty of troops during the Huimeng period and take Liangchuan back. Unexpectedly, 'someone' has already leaked the top-secret military information!"

His tone became heavier, and when he said "someone", he was full of gloomyness.

"Hulu is as cunning as a fox. He killed two birds with one stone. Beforehand, he used the elite of his old enemy, the Chile tribe, to defend Liangchuan."

"During the encirclement, King Xiang's soldiers put these Chile cavalry into the hinterland of our Central Plains under the 'greedy merit'. First, they can disturb the Central Plains. Second, they use our hands to eliminate them all—— God is sorry to see, apart from the one we wiped out, there are still many scattered Chile cavalry wandering in the hinterland of the Northwest, if these routs are not eliminated, the Northwest will never be peaceful!"

Yuan Qi stared at the emptiness in the distance, and his tone was very gloomy. He thought of the folk houses in the northwest, how poor and poor, and couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart——

Can such a desolate common people survive the looting by remnant soldiers like wolves and tigers? (To be continued, if you want to know what happens next, please visit www.CMFU.COM, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!)
