Chapter 918 Quartet Fengyun Club, the Empress Dowager Summons(1/2)
Dagan Dynasty.
May in the 18th year of the Jisheng calendar.
Spring is full of joy.
Dongsheng Shenzhou, war spreads to the prairie.
There are constant bad news on the four fronts of the east, west, south, north and north. The situation is serious and not optimistic.
East.
Lumen Pass, the second princess married away, defended the Lumen Pass for a whole month under the wise leadership of the city lord. However, judging from the continuous updates of the battle reports ahead, it was only a matter of late to breaking Lumen Pass.
south.
The Hundred Battle Army and the Liaoyuan Army, the two armies faced the 200,000 troops of King Zhennan, retreated step by step, retreating to the Tianshan Mountains and Liusha River area, with more than half of the casualties.
north.
The King of Conquering North was brave and good at fighting, and attacking the army with strong defense. The Tiangong Army built a solid line of defense. With the equipment to defend the city, he still had the power to fight.
west.
Although the King of Pingxi only had only a 50,000 army, war reports came from the front, saying that the King of Pingxi had a mixed army of capable people, poisoned, concealed, and killed, and used all the best, which was very lowly. The Yingyou Army, which defended the western front, was originally a special scout who was good at speed. When both sides met their opponents, they each suffered losses.
...
One day.
"Pok~"
Yi Lin stood calmly behind Xia Xiaoman, pulling out a white hair from the top of the junior sister who was looking down at the map.
"Senior brother, stop making trouble!"
Xia Xiaoman didn't raise his head and patted his senior brother's evil hand away.
"How many days have you been asleep?"
Yi Lin vaguely saw the shadow of Molly staying up late from Xia Xiaoman.
They are all so ordinary.
They are also in some matters, forgetting to eat and sleep.
Xia Xiaoman said: "We are a Jindan monk, so we don't have to sleep."
Yi Lin shook her white hair in front of her junior sister: "Is this yours yours?"
“It’s no surprise that just gray hair!”
During this period, Xia Xiaoman was studying the situation of the civil war in the Dagan Dynasty.
She clearly didn't understand strategy, but she even brought out a stack of military books and placed them on the table. While studying military books, she wrote and painted on the strategic map, which was quite like sharpening a knife in the face of battle.
The war of cold weapons cannot be completed in one or two days.
In a battle, both sides confront each other, you test me, I test you, come and go, and consume repeatedly.
In war, what you fight is consumption, what you fight is manpower, and what you fight is battery life.
No one knows how long they can last for the war, but the side that exhausts troops, materials, and morale will be the loser.
Xia Xiaoman ignored her senior brother, frowned, and lowered her head without saying a word.
Yi Lin sighed lightly, stretched out his knuckles and tapped the strategy diagram gently: "Actually, you have thought of the easiest solution, haven't you?"
When Xia Xiaoman heard this, she looked up at her senior brother, pursed her lips tightly, and her face looked a little pale.
Yi Lin continued: "The only one who can be the emperor with justification is the first prince, the second prince, and Xia Xingchen. Kill them all, and your brother will have no way out. Maybe this will also inspire the emperor's heart in his heart. The reason why he is so cowardly now is because there are these three people in Xia's bloodline."
"Yes." Xia Xiaoman nodded.
"In Xia Jisheng's view, whether it is the eldest prince, the second prince, or Xia Xingchen, whoever replaces him as emperors is replaced, Xia Jisheng is not panicked, because it is always the Xia family. But once the other vassal kings win, the meaning will be completely different."
"Yes," Xia Xiaoman closed his eyes in pain: "Senior brother, I understand. But after all, they are all Xiaoman's relatives. If they die, I will only depend on each other and Jier in this world."
Yi Lin rubbed her junior sister's hair, then pulled out another dazzling white hair, and said softly: "If one day, the Xia family's country and relatives, you can only choose one of two? The country and blood relatives have been in a dilemma since ancient times. I hate being born in the imperial family the most."
...
Xia Xiaoman frequently attends strategic meetings.
Originally, Xia Xiaoman had no right to interfere in the war even as the eldest princess at such a military conference.
But when the commander had an objection, the Empress Dowager issued an order allowing Xia Xiaoman to attend state affairs as the "elder princess".
Xia Xiaoman is busy every day and never sees him all day long.
Instead, Yi Lin and Jian Nanchun were idle and were like outsiders. They were all day long in Yingxue Pavilion, meditating and breathing, and practicing without delay.
Jian Nanchun noticed two strange things.
Some time ago, Junior Brother Lin Yi ran to Tianxuan Academy almost every night, but these days, he suddenly stopped running.
It’s strange that Jian Nanchun is not used to it.
The second thing is,
Junior Brother Lin Yi has been suffering from wind and cold recently and coughs a few times from time to time. It’s strange. Is the physical constitution of a Jindan monk so weak?
...
"You said, are the junior sister too worried about the world?"
One day.
In Yingxue Pavilion courtyard, the two of them meditated side by side. Jian Nanchun raised his eyelids and asked.
“So what?”
Yi Lin asked.
"It is of no use to practice." Jian Nanchun, as a Jindan cultivator, has clear main and secondary characteristics, and only has cultivation in his eyes.
"Yes, but this is the knot of the junior sister."
Just as the two were chatting, they felt something at the same time and looked at the closed gate.
There was a man standing outside the door.
Yi Lin and Jian Nanchun looked at each other, and for a moment, a timid voice from a palace maid came from outside the door.
"The palace maid Juer, according to the order of the Queen Mother, I will ask you to go to the Immortal Forest to visit Chang'an Palace for a lecture."
Yi Lin smiled, turned to Jian Nanchun and smiled, "Senior Brother, I'll go back."
The implication is: Don't worry.
Jian Nanchun nodded, silently said, but made a "six" gesture, erected in his ear, learned Lin Yi's movements, and made a "calling" gesture.
The subtext of this gesture is: Call me if something happens.
After the two of them communicated silently, Yi Lin got up and opened the door and walked out.
The palace maid was just an ordinary person. She seemed a little nervous in front of Yi Lin. After all, there were two people in this yard, but the Xuanmen masters who were not common in the past. It is said that a hole could be poked on the wall with just one finger.
Yi Lin followed Juer's palace maid and walked through the lonely and deserted palace path and came to Chang'an Palace.
As last time he visited the night, Chang'an Palace was without guards and the courtyard was empty.
"The Queen Mother has an order, and I will ask the immortals to enter by themselves."
The palace maid Juer took Yi Lin to the front and back of the door, bowed and left Yi Lin in place.
She didn't seem to be worried that Yi Lin would do anything inhuman to the Queen Mother.
There was another rhythmic tremor between Yi Lin's eyebrows.
Inside the pivot, above the spiritual sea, the Zhuxian Spear and the Guili Sword reacted at the same time.
Yi Lin believed that the sensing between legendary props was relative. Sure enough, when Yi Lin came to the door, a beautiful voice came from behind the door.
"Please come in."
Along the way, Yi Lin was speculating on the purpose of the Empress Dowager's sudden summoning him.
A month ago, after Yi Lin visited Chang'an Palace at night but failed, she never came here again.
It seemed that he had the same tacit understanding between him and the Empress Dowager, and no one took the initiative to find each other and mentioned legendary props.
The Seven-Missacre Empress left six treasures, which became a legend in the world, but this is not a huge secret.
It is better to say that these six treasures are more and more magical, whether among the monks or among the people, and there are even rumors that if anyone gets one of the six treasures left by the Seven-Secret Empress, he will live forever, be invincible by swords and guns, and be invincible by water and fire, and will be invincible by the world.
Yi Lin calmly pushed the door and stepped into the hall.
In the palace, the decoration is gorgeous, and dragons and phoenixes are carved on the walls.
Incense is burning in the corner of the house, and the smell is faint and refreshing.
Yi Lin held her breath first, then took a secret breath, which seemed to be non-toxic, so she felt relieved.
"Don't worry, if the Ai family has the intention to harm you, why wait until now?"
To be continued...
