"What did Senior Brother tell you?"
Xihe asked casually while flipping through the memorial.
Candles were lit all around the hall, illuminating the room very brightly. She was wearing a white inner garment and a cloak. She had a fair complexion and a serious expression.
Fang Qinglin stood there watching for a moment before walking over to sit beside her, resting his chin on his elbow. "Big Brother warned me not to harm you or harbor any rebellious thoughts."
"What?" Xihe couldn't help but burst out laughing and shook his head: "Big Brother is really interesting."
Fang Qinglin spoke in a gloomy tone, "Obviously, when he first heard you were planning an uprising, he reacted more violently than anyone else. But now, he's worried that I, your husband, might seize power from you, and his heart is completely on your side."
Xihe was amused and looked at him with a stifled smile: "Why, are you jealous?"
Fang Qinglin: "How dare I be jealous? Right now, you are the one that all the disciples of the Taichu Sect admire the most. If I dare to treat you badly, I might be kicked out in the future."
Although this statement is a bit exaggerated, the Taichu Sect joined Xihe's camp early on because of Fang Qinglin, and later they were impressed by her personal beauty and admired her very much.
Xihe laughed and stopped looking at the memorial: "Then you have to perform well, otherwise if I am also partial to you, you will have a hard time in the future."
She threw herself into the young man's arms, hooked her arms around his neck and kissed him.
Fang Qinglin finally broke down, curved his beautiful eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "As you command, Your Majesty."
Xihe has always been quick and decisive in his work. After defeating the Tatars and taking over Cui Pingyang's territory, he helped everyone have a good year. After the spring, he led his troops through the Western Regions and went straight to the southwest.
Luo Cheng was still embracing his beautiful bride, half asleep, when his men arrived to report, "Hancheng has been breached!"
Luo Cheng was startled and sat up immediately: "What did you say?"
The beautiful bride came up from behind and said in a delicate voice, "Master..." But she was thrown away. Luo Cheng hurried to the study. Several of his confidants were silent.
Luo Cheng suddenly clenched his palms and looked towards Hancheng: Chu! Master! Master!
He had originally thought that after he ascended the throne, he could recruit this woman into the harem since she had some abilities. But now, he wanted her life!
Xihe, who was fighting so hard that she was exhausted, frowned: Who is plotting against her?
The dog who calls everyone a soldier: Luo Cheng!
Xihe: Oh.
After picking up one person with one stick, he rushed into the enemy camp again.
Gouzi: ...You ungrateful woman! You forget your principles for the sake of beauty!
The dog moved nimbly among the enemy troops, and his attacks were extremely ruthless, with an angry look that frightened the enemy soldiers.
I've never heard that Chu Shishi has a spirit dog by her side! Where did this dog demon come from?
The dog sneered and said, of course it was dragged out because there was going to be a fight!
All the soldiers were inspired by the dog's might, and excitedly rushed to the enemy with their weapons raised, killing them with such a refreshing feeling!
In less than half a day, the Luo family army was defeated and the city gate was lost.
Xihe did not stop. After handing over the follow-up arrangements of Hancheng to Fang Qinglin, he led the refreshed soldiers to attack again, crushing Jiacheng, Yucheng, Fengdu... one after another.
Luo Chengdu was stunned. Are all the soldiers of this woman immortal?
"My Lord, Chu Shishi has already invaded Tianxiang City. Our next stop is here. Let's flee. As long as we have the green mountains, we will not be short of firewood."
Luo Cheng's expression darkened instantly: "I will not be a deserter!"
The subordinate was in a dilemma: "But we only have 10,000 soldiers. We can't defeat Chu Shishi at all." After a pause, he said, "My Lord, Chu Shishi is a great fighter, but being an emperor doesn't mean you can hold the throne just by fighting. Besides, she is a woman."
"Since ancient times, men have been in power. Even if she takes the throne, she won't be able to stay in power for long. We can take a long-term view."
However, these earnest words showed that Chu Shishi would definitely become the emperor!
Luo Cheng slammed the table and said, "I want to fight! She's just a girl, how could I lose to her?"
Their ancestors had accumulated wealth for generations, and only then did they have the strength to occupy the southwest and prepare to rise up. He absolutely could not lose the southwest, otherwise his uprising would be hopeless!
Luo Cheng knew more clearly than at this moment that if he escaped, he would never have the chance to become emperor again.
All the subordinates sighed and could only follow their master to fight this life-and-death battle.
On this day, the sky was covered with dark clouds and the wind was howling. The two sides were facing each other, one on the city wall and the other under the wall.
Luo Cheng saw from afar that the leading general was wearing silver armor, had a slender figure, and eyes as bright as stars. Beside her stood a majestic black dog, and behind her were soldiers wearing black armor, with an imposing aura.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Three drumbeats sounded, and the woman raised the bow and arrow in her hand, and shot it out.
Everyone subconsciously followed the scene. Bang, the flagpole on the city wall broke, and the black flag fell to the ground in an instant, raising dust.
The air grew increasingly quiet, as if the Luo family's century-old foundation had finally collapsed at this moment.
Luo Cheng raised his sword: "Shoot!"
The dog rushed towards the city wall like lightning, and the battle was triggered instantly.
Attacking a city is much more difficult than fighting on a plain. Fortunately, Xihe's army is well-trained, and there are especially some martial arts masters who can fly up to the high buildings, occupy the terrain, and break the city gate in three hours.
“…”
Luo Cheng was covered in blood and was taken away by his subordinates.
He stared at the city wall with the flag of the "Free Army" with dull eyes, feeling lost.
He lost.
-
Luo Cheng failed.
The imperial court, which had always wanted to see a dog-eat-dog drama, finally panicked.
This Chu Shishi, the Freedom Army, is actually so powerful! What should I do? What should I do?
A minister, whose body was hollowed out by alcohol and sex, suddenly had an idea and thought of a way. He ran to the harem, shaking off his fat body and saying, "Your Majesty, I have an idea!"
Over here, the Freedom Army is holding a celebration banquet, after all, they won the battle.
Now that the strongest rival Luo Cheng has been eliminated, the imperial court is the only one in the world that is still qualified to fight against the Free Army.
They had witnessed their monarch's strength with their own eyes, and taking the capital city was just a matter of a word.
The lights were bright, there was plenty of wine and meat, and everyone was laughing happily and talking loudly about their victory and the vulnerability of the Luo family army and the imperial court.
Xihe sat in the first seat, with Fang Qinglin beside her, and below her were Hu Shuidi, Chen Yunzhuang, He Jia, Zhang Ding, Xu Jian and others. The latter were all picked by her from the soldiers. Their martial arts skills were definitely not as good as those of the martial arts masters, but they were brave in leading troops in battle and were capable of fighting ten enemies at once!
On the other side, there are people from the Taichu Sect and other places who have made great contributions.
Although it is not yet time to reward them according to their merits, everyone knows that as long as they work hard, the king will definitely not treat them unfairly!
Everyone was drinking and eating meat, laughing and chatting, but they were not happy at all. However, there were some ignorant people who came to disturb them.
"Master Piaomiao, Master Chu has received the order—"
