Went to go to Yushan and the beautiful waters. In February, Qin Hangu Pass scouts came to report that the army that had been entrenched outside the city for months had formed a network and finally started an attack in the snow.

This matter was discussed in the court of the Political Affairs Hall. Ji Ying was the chief official of the Censorate. During the period when both the left and right prime ministers were not in charge of the court, he was the most powerful official. Of course, except for the Taifu "Chen Rui" who had no right to speak for the time being, he decided to lead the troops to take charge, and assist the two generals and the commander to rush there together.

Ji Ying's opinion is that it is best to quickly decide this war, and not let other countries have the opportunity to take advantage of it. Wei, Zhao, Chu and others remain unmoved. If they seek opportunities, they will be afraid that they will attack when the Qin State's combat power is in a difficult position.

"If I had sent troops to encircle and suppress those miscellaneous troops earlier, I would have cursed with courage.

But someone advised rationally: "The other party has been wandering outside the pass, and the team that had previously tested cannot figure out the situation. If it moves first and falls into the enemy's ambush, would it be better if the result is better?"

Chen Baiqi had no objection. She listened patiently and quietly, and could hear some Mingtang. The military horses outside the pass seemed to have been playing a game of catching mice with them. Seeing that the "mouse" had not left the hole, they would harass them in various ways. One was to arouse the bloody impulse of the Qin people, and the other was to instigate civil strife in Qin. However, because Xiang Bo Xun Huo had been suppressing the bravery and recklessness of the Qin people, the other party had never succeeded.

This result clearly lasted for several months, but now their attitude suddenly changed. The war started from the chronic abduction at the beginning to the desperate front, and the flag and drums were no longer timid and officially started a war with Qin. Is this a temporary change they have started, or do I think the time for planning?

If it is a temporary change, what is this change?

If it is the time to plan things, then what is this opportunity?

Everyone knows that Hangu Pass is of great significance to the Qin State. Ancient wars were limited, and Chengguan was even more important. It can even be said that he broke through Hangu Pass. The regime inside the Pass was basically over. Because Hangu Pass sent heavy troops to guard it all year round, and the city walls were also reinforced and reinforced. It is obvious that the opponent's troops seemed not enough to have a fatal impact on Hangu Pass. She felt that the other party should still have a backup plan.

After the Political Affairs Palace discussion, the atmosphere in Xianyang City was tense for a long time, and the haze was on the top. Just here, Zuo Shuchang had just led the team to Hangu Pass, and Chen Baiqi received a secret report. The leader of Peinan and Mr. Xiang Bo were ambushed by unknown teams one after another. Fortunately, both of them were safe in the end. The leader of Peinan and the leader of the Mo family secretly protected each other along the way. Mr. Xiang Bo, as a disciple of Guigu, had his own magic to repel the other party.

Not long after Chen Baiqi learned about this, the incident soon spread throughout Xianyang City like the wind on the sea.

The city was panicked and worried, and indignant. The government was worried that the incident would cause new rumors again, so it immediately discussed and determined measures to continue to calm the people's hearts. The left and right prime ministers were not there, and they were investigated and they couldn't come back to Xianyang for a while. However, Chen Baiqi was one of the three dukes, and she finally came in handy at this time. She issued a new office order based on the order of the Grand Tutor, mainly three items.

Before the war at Hangu Pass recently ended, the city people should not go out of the city at will, and the time for farmers to go out of the city to work and farm was also restricted. The city walls and gates in the city were strengthened, and the second shift day and night shift day and night shift day and night shift day and night shifts were changed to morning shifts, and the city was on duty, and the city was in full swing, and the night fire was bright.

Her move caused criticism from some ministers who had not been notified in advance. Many people visited the Taifu Mansion to criticize her for this matter. They believed that she was creating panic for the people in the city. Before the matter was clear, this taboo prevention order was issued. However, they obviously didn't know much about Chen Baiqi, so when she was not in charge, people looked like a piece of soft white dough, which could be mixed with others, but once they did things, the inside was buried, and whoever pinched her would be injured.

Those who had never dealt with her in private before were all silent after this "visit" that they had in-depth understanding of each other.

After returning to the palace with physical and mental exhaustion, these ministers were well aware of something. Even if this person is no longer powerful or powerful, you can make a big mistake with him openly and secretly, and she said, "As the third master, you are teaching me how to do things, you can choke to death."

I was too lazy to care about this anymore. I felt that it was unruly to argue with a woman with a flushed face and was not able to pull this face. After the opposition was ineffective, I didn't have to fight with her. The most important thing was that the troops in this city were all controlled by her. She didn't have to coordinate and discuss with many people and had the ability to mobilize privately. They wanted to stop her but couldn't stop her.

From this matter, some people began to look at the tutor "Chen Rui" with a new perspective. Many things are traceable. They think she is trying to take advantage of the left and right to go on a business trip and compete for power.

In other words, I thought less at that time and treated the big worm as a silly sweet person. Now I understand what it means to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger.

Someone has a good mentality and comforts herself. She is just making some irrelevant political orders, so she endured it and passed it.

Some people also have a bad mentality and curse secretly every day. If the fierce leopard is not in the mountains, the monkey will dominate the king!

Everyone in the city was gossiping about this for a while, but they still had to do whatever they should do. Who told the people that they were all operating through formal channels, and some people sued the matter to the censor Ji Ying, but they didn't say they wanted to intervene.

It's strange that the censor Ji Ying and the Taifu used to think that the relationship between the two was very cold and unfamiliar, and even occasionally encountered each other in private, and looked like a vague revenge, because every time he talked to the Taifu, no one else heard a good word, all of which were hiding and damaging.

But the blame is that no matter what extraordinary things this tutor did, the censor was stunned and never cared about it, ignored it, and did not stop it. This was not like what an opponent should do. This was even more excessive than a naughty child who was used to his own!

The mysterious relationship between them is really hard for people around them to understand.

Although there has not been any more snow or rain in the past few days, the melting of the ice has caused the temperature to be as cold as the cold winter these days. Many people don’t like to go out in thick clothes. Perhaps because of this tense atmosphere, the abortion of people in several main streets of Xianyang City has decreased significantly, and only a few people in the city have passed by in a hurry at noon.

On February 20th, Jingzhe changed suddenly. At dusk, the school captain Wei Yong, who was sweating on the other end, took off his heavy armor and helmet in order to run faster, and rushed to the Taifu Mansion as quickly as possible. He knocked on the Zhuhong High Gate. Soon, someone was shouting inside, here, here.

When the person inside opened the door and opened the gap that a person could enter, Wei Yong squeezed forward and grabbed the person, and asked gasp, "Is the Grand Tutor in the mansion?"

The gatekeeper was stunned for a moment, a little scared by his burning butt look. He had seen Wei Yong once and recognized him as the captain of Qin State. He didn't think he was here to provoke and seek revenge. He stuttered and pointed to the back, "Here, here..."

Before the lieutenant Wei Yong could finish his words, he let him go and rushed in impatiently.

He rushed into the hall of Dongwan and saw the Taifu who was walking out. His eyes lit up. How could he say that although the Taifu looked weak on the surface, he always felt that she was eight feet tall and had the strength in his body. In short, he found a sense of security that others could not give to her.

He wiped his sweat from his head and rushed forward to report the emergency military information.

"Why are you so panicked?" Chen Baiqi asked him in a deep voice. After asking, he saw that he was so angry that he could not speak up, and he breathed a little slower: "Don't be anxious, the more anxious the more he is, the more he can't explain it."

She called the servant to get a sweat towel and handed it to him, asked him to wipe his face, and asked him to drink water quickly to calm down his breath.

The captain Wei Yong took it, rubbed his face randomly, took a deep breath, and then said, "Taifu, there is something strange outside the city, and it is suspected that it is the enemy."

He said that Taiwan had detected a large number of people approaching hundreds of miles outside Xianyang City. The other party was dressed in uniform and suspected to have crossed the Yellow River from the Yuncheng grassland west. If he was prepared, now a long Huangjing Ice Road has formed in the Yellow River Basin, and the troops at the ferry may not be able to defend it.

After hearing this, Chen Baiqi asked, "Can you inform others?"

"Yes, I asked the garrison soldiers to report."

She also realized the seriousness of the situation. She remembered many things and many things that were once uncertain about the answer. But at this time there was no extra time for her to slowly trace the clues. She quickly called Xie Yingyi, Si Jiang and Wu Changting. She asked Si Jiang to immediately use her talisman to go to the palace to look at Xiaoguai. She didn't trust anyone. She wanted Xiaoguai to keep his sight for a moment. Si Jiang responded and set off immediately.

Xie Yingyi asked him to quickly calculate where he would break through if he attempted to enter the city and what potential crisis might occur in the city. Xie Yingyi was good at this and he immediately went to do it.

She needs to arrange what Wu Changting wants to do in private with him.

She arranged things one by one quickly and calmly, as if she had practiced it in her mind. When the captain Wei Yong saw her fluent and wise figure dealing with things, his tense heart seemed to relax a lot.

Chen Baiqi followed the lieutenant Wei Yong to the gate of Xianyang City. As Chen Baiqi walked faster and faster, he thought of a solution in his mind, but he left the lieutenant Wei Yong directly, and disappeared like a smoke.

The captain Wei Yong was stunned and swallowed, feeling that his existence seemed to have affected the speed of the Taifu?

As soon as Chen Baiqi came over, he saw that there were two rows of imperial guards at the city gate. Someone recognized her and said in surprise: "Tao Fu?"

Chen Baiqi nodded with them, and without making any arrangements, she climbed to the height of the city wall first. She had extraordinary eyesight. It can be seen that there were indeed troops like a black line in the distance gradually approaching Xianyang City. It is estimated that it would arrive in Xianyang City in less than an hour.

She thought that half of the troops in the capital of the royal city have been transferred away because they have recently dealt with various affairs. The left and right prime ministers and special envoys are not in the city. Even the Zuo Shuchang has been transferred to Hangu Pass. Now they are facing these troops that have crossed the Yellow River. Even if they ask for help from other city orders, the general will come to the royal city to support them, and the far water will not be able to save the near fire.

The military generals who received this news ran to the city wall in a hurry. When they saw that the Taifu was already there, they had no intention of talking, and they looked out in panic.

The doctor, Duwei, Weiwei and others did not have the eyesight of Chen Baiqi and could not see the specific situation clearly, so they hurriedly found a rewarded scout to inquire about the situation.

"Maybe... it may be an enemy attack." Some people guessed by luck.

Chen Baiqi only replied lightly: "This kind of sneaky feeling, without saying hello to the master, and then climbed into the wall... It turned out that it could be a friendly army."

The doctor, who was suddenly stabbed by her joke, said: "..." He also knew that what he said just now was a bit inappropriate.

Chen Baiqi stood on the city wall for a moment, fell from Xiyang, and the earth fell into darkness. She found the lieutenant responsible for guarding the security of Xianyang City and said to him: "The whole city is martial law, and no one is allowed to walk outside in the city. Those who violate the order should be punished in detail."

"Why?" the lieutenant asked subconsciously.

Isn’t we going to mobilize military forces to deal with suspicious foreign troops? Why do we have to be on guard against the inner city at once?

Chen Baiqi asked them: "I have tightened the defense in the city before, ordered the city people to enter and exit and restricted farmers from going out of the city to farm every day. Do you think it is useful to make a big deal now?"

They didn't say anything. In fact, this time they were able to detect something so quickly, because the garrison in the city was so energetic that they reported the situation as soon as possible, and also gave them time to react.

It can also be said that it depends entirely on the Taifu's plan ahead. With this premise, they don't have to say much.

She said again: "What is most afraid of in the trapped city is not the enemy breaking through outside, but being attacked inside and outside."

Once something happens, all possibilities will happen, and Xie Yingyi infers that this possibility is the greatest.

Not long ago, Xie Yingyi sorted out a possible speculative data and sent it to her quickly. Although she had ideas, it was obvious that she was not as meticulous as Xie Yingyi and was accustomed to seeing things in a comprehensive way. With him, she could save half of her thoughts.

The lieutenant had no objection: "Here."

It was pitch black outside the city, and the curfew was brightly lit. Chen Baiqi ordered every household to turn on the lights, and guards lit torches on every street to patrol. She would not have anyone taken the opportunity to commit crimes at night.

As expected, some people in this city couldn't help but start to get ready to move.

"There are suspicious people!"

At this time, the person on duty shouted loudly not far away.

Since there was no curfew in the city and the sneak attackers could not lurk in the night, they were soon caught by the soldiers on duty.

The arrested person struggled hard, but found that there was no way out and eventually bit his tongue and committed suicide.

When Chen Baiqi arrived, he saw a corpse. Judging from his outfit, he was just an ordinary city man.

Chen Baiqi asked about the arrest process, and the first guard to find out came forward to answer.

"He hid in the corner of the wall sneakily. When we left, he wanted to walk around from behind, but in a lowly ignorance, he saw a moving shadow under his feet. He immediately turned around and grabbed it."

"At the beginning, he kept calling for injustice. We interrogated him, why he dared to come out for curfew in the whole city, but he couldn't answer. In the end, we planned to capture him in front of the Grand Tutor. His face changed at that time, and he bit his tongue and committed suicide."

Chen Baiqi thought that this person shouldn't be the only one.

She looked up and looked in the direction of the royal city. She was worried about leaving Aguai and Si Jiang in the palace. She felt that if there were spies in the palace, then the first target to attack would be the young and ignorant new crown prince.

She arranged the military arrangements of the city gate and was about to return to the palace.

I felt a strange noise coming from the sky, and an unusual wind blew by, and she suddenly looked up.

Xianyang City is now bright enough, so no matter how dark the sky is, you can see a row of strange "big birds" flying through the sky.

Someone saw the Grand Tutor looking up at the sky, and raised his head strangely. With the light of the fire, they could only barely distinguish the outline of the flying object with their eyesight: "What kind of bird is this? It's so big?"

"Is it a bird or an eagle?"

Chen Baiqi looked cold in vain: "It's not a bird! Immediately notify the Yulin Army. If you see these wooden kites, shoot them up immediately!"

After listening to her order, the guards were stunned. It was not a bird, what was that? Could it be that a person could fly in the sky?!

But they didn't pause for long, and they felt nervous, so they ran away to send the order immediately.

Chen Baiqi could not enter the palace at this time. She knew that it was too late for the Yujun to arrive. She jumped up and quickly returned to the city tower, shouting everywhere: "All crossbow soldiers obeyed the orders and aimed at the sky above the city tower. Whenever a suspicious bird crossed the city wall, they would shoot me!"

The crossbow soldiers who had already arranged to be in place were waiting for the enemy's night attack. Now they were shocked by the Taifu's new order. They immediately raised their heads and looked upwards, but they saw hundreds, no, more immeasurable black "birds" flying by in the air. They were surprised, but without hesitation, and immediately aimed and fired.

There was no one in the city, and they didn't have to worry about hurting the people in the city. With a burst of shooting, the "big birds" kept falling. Later, they found that they were noticed. These "big birds" simply gave up the goal of setting the destination they were expected to arrive, unloaded the wooden kite on their bodies, and fell directly in the air like dumplings.

As soon as they fell to the ground, they began to hunt wildly. Everyone in the city was afraid of danger, and only a large number of guards rushed over. Chen Baiqi kept paying attention to where they landed. Sure enough, she was not far from the royal city. A gust of wind passed by. Because she was worried about Xiaoguai, she kept going straight to the palace for a while, but unexpectedly she ran into a group of civil officials who were fleeing.

At this time, the ministers who were attacked and running wildly from the official road outside the royal city also happened to see the Taifu. At that moment, a strong light burst out from their faces, just like seeing a savior. They all hid behind Chen Baiqi in a hurry. It is estimated that they all had the feeling of the school captain Wei Yong at that time, that is, they were so safe to stay by the Taifu who was in a state of power!

In the past, she was famous for being fierce, and they were a little timid when facing her, thinking that only villains and women were difficult to raise. But now, when facing the enemy, they all felt that she might be more fierce, at least more cruel than these thugs!

"Tao Fu! The thief is so angry that he has been lying beside us and should be killed!"

"Tao Fu, don't be ruthless to such evil men!"

"Tao Fu..."

The two of them shouted the Grand Tutor so willingly, and some people even grabbed the corner of her robe with tears in their eyes and complained in anger.

Now all the arrogant and violent civil servants did not look as arrogant as before. Instead, they put down their airs and regarded her as the savior.
Chapter completed!
