Outside Yangliu City, the Qi army camped.

The weather is nice today. The sun is shining brightly during the day and the stars are like a sea of ​​stars at night.

On a turret, Zhao Yujie, still wearing her imperial concubine's uniform, silently looked at the brightly lit Yangliu City across the overlapping tents.

Although she was looking at the city occupied by the enemy, the focus of her eyes was not there, and she was obviously thinking about other things.

After a long time, she raised her head and looked up at the stars that adorned the night sky like pearls, making the sky extraordinarily beautiful. Her eyes inadvertently revealed a moment of loneliness and sadness.

She should feel lonely and sad.

As a poor person who had no father to support the family since she was a child and could only work hard with her frail mother, she suffered too much.

Especially after her mother, who depended on her for life, died on the bed due to bullying by strong men, she no longer had any relatives and could only live alone in the market with nothing.

When you are hungry and have stomach cramps, in order to have a bite of food, the government will do whatever it takes, even regardless of effort or loss.

Even if she became rich later, she would just rely on others. People in the Hou family have been ruthless since ancient times. She had to work hard day and night to please the people she relied on and plan a better way out before the other people abandoned her.

Even after becoming the concubine of Da Qi, there was never a time when she was really relaxed. The emperor's thoughts were always difficult to predict. Even the former prince and grand master were able to offend and kill donkeys. How could she, a person with nothing, be an exception?

Nowadays, the world is in chaos and the war has been going on for years. Thousands of people are not going to die one day. Even the emperor has been forced to flee in panic several times. Like a lost dog, what reason does she, a concubine, have to be saved?

?

Now being sent to a dangerous battlefield by Song Zhi, the camp is full of Zhao Qiyue's accomplices and tribes loyal to her. When they leave the camp, they are greeted by the murderous Beihu army. They have no friends and are stepping on them every step of the way.

In the swamp.

At any time, she is at risk of falling into the abyss.

Who can she rely on? Who will truly stand by her through thick and thin?

When she was still young, her father died in the war, but the pension was exploited by local officials at all levels. Very little was obtained. Her mother used it to open a restaurant, but failed to manage it well and lost everything.

When Zhao Yujie was a child, she didn't understand that the whole country was shouting for the glory of the military, but they were obviously the family members of heroic souls, so why were they still bullied? Why did the government always stand on the side of the strong and refuse to make decisions for them?

Later, she understood that the so-called glory was just a pretense used by the court and the government to make people die for them. In fact, the rules of this world have always been naked prey of the jungle.

After the death of her mother, during the years when she was alone in the market, she went in and out of wealthy families several times, trying to exchange her sincerity for a true lover, but was always rejected in the end. After proving that she only exchanged her beauty for temporary food and clothing, Zhao Yujie understood a truth

.

No one in this world is worth trusting.

Since ancient times, true love cannot be retained, only tricks can win people's hearts.

So she became smart, smart enough to understand people's hearts, smart enough to rely on her intelligence to get more things she had never thought of before in the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion, and smart enough to become a royal concubine.

However, the upward path in life is always full of thorns and difficulties.

Every time she took a step up, she would fall into a bigger quagmire.

The turmoil in the Hou clan, the struggle between the family status and the generals, the struggle between imperial power and the aristocratic families, the struggle between Beihu and Daqi...

Right now, she is almost behind bars.

Along the way, she has put in a lot of effort and experienced countless risks. She always relied on her wisdom and insight to overcome challenges. Even though there were times when she was satisfied and satisfied, it was inevitable that she would feel completely lonely late at night.

For so many years, in the most difficult times, no one can express my feelings, in the most difficult times, no one can reveal my heart, in the most dangerous times, no one can help each other...

She walked an extremely lonely road in life.

When I arrived at Yangliu City, I watched the soldiers fighting every day. They were always in groups of three or in formations of five. When fighting for their lives, they always cooperated with each other and cooperated closely. They could leave the back and even life and death to their companions.

.

That kind of trust and true love made Zhao Yujie envious, even jealous.

She had never experienced this level of mutual trust.

How warm that must be.

So she is sad.

Loneliness and sadness did not stay in Zhao Yujie's eyes for too long. Soon, this emotion was completely replaced by coldness and coldness.

She understands that this kind of trust and warmth does not belong to her.

She doesn't have this fate.

At the same time, people in high positions do not have this fate.

People who hold power only have interests and calculations with each other, just like animals in the forest competing for survival rights and resources. If you still hope for any warmth, you will only be broken into pieces in the end!

The battle between family status and generals is full of bloodshed, the battle between aristocratic families and poor families is about life and death, and the battle between imperial power and justice is about me and not you.

Zhao Yujie calmed down.

She looked to the northwest.

I don’t know what happened to the battle between Zhao Ning and Meng Ge, or whether that damn dude is dead.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yujie noticed someone coming up to the corner tower.

She turned around and looked at the person coming.

It's Queen Zhao Qiyue.

Zhao Yujie did not show courtesy. Even if she followed the rules of etiquette, she would be guilty if she did not show courtesy.

Everyone is a well-known enemy. Although they appear to be the same kind of people, in fact they are fighting to the death.

Zhao Qiyue said indifferently: "Tomorrow when the army attacks the city, you must show your true state of the middle stage of the Wangji Realm and kill at least one early stage practitioner of the Wangji Realm in the city."

Zhao Yujie: "I don't know what you are talking about."

She was in the middle stage of Wangji Realm, and even Song Zhi didn't know about it - when she broke through the realm that day, the imperial court was still in Yanping, and the national war had not yet broken out. She took advantage of the opportunity to leave the palace and did it secretly outside Yanping City.

.

These days, she has been deliberately hiding her strength.

Zhao Qiyue looked at her expressionlessly: "Tonight, you have to sneak into Yangliu City. As an internal response for the army to attack the city tomorrow, as long as you open the city gate, you will be considered the first success."

Zhao Yujie's face was as dark as water: "You are deliberately plotting against me! Aren't you afraid that I will tell His Majesty?"

Zhao Qiyue sarcastically said: "Thankfully you have also stayed in the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion. Don't you know the principle of 'I will not accept the fate of the foreign king'? If I ask you to go, you must go, unless you run away now."

Return to Luoyang."

Zhao Yujie came closer to Zhao Qiyue, with a fierce look in her eyes: "If I disobey, what can you do? I will kill you now, what can you do?"

Zhao Qiyue tilted his head at Zhao Yujie, his eyes full of disdain: "If you disobey, I can execute the military order and kill you immediately; if you want to kill me, just do it."

Zhao Yujie couldn't take action.

She killed the commander of hundreds of thousands of troops in the Central Plains and the queen of Daqi. She couldn't explain it in front of Song Zhi. The whole camp of practitioners from aristocratic families, including Sun Kang, who was at the extreme king level, would not let her go.

Not only that, after this, she will become the target of public criticism and will no longer have a foothold in the entire Daqi.

So the situation Zhao Yujie faces now is that he can either choose to disobey orders, not sneak into Yangliu City, and be punished by Zhao Qiyue, or show his true strength tomorrow.

"Tomorrow, when the army attacks the city at midnight and the drums can't sound, I will also punish you in front of the army." Zhao Qiyue waited for Zhao Yujie for a moment. After the latter really had no intention of taking action, he dropped these words and walked down the corner tower.

.

Zhao Yujie's face was filled with hatred and she clenched her teeth tightly.

However, no matter how angry she was, she could only watch Zhao Qiyue leave.

At this moment, she hated Song Zhi extremely.

If Song Zhi hadn't asked her to return to the Central Plains, why would she have to endure such embarrassment?

Zhao Qiyue was no longer interested in watching the scenery, so he left the corner tower and returned to his tent.

That night, news reached the camp.

The whole camp was boiling, and the soldiers were running around telling each other, and they were all excited.

The content of the message is simple:

Zhao Ning, the general manager of the camp in the north of Bianliang, went west to Xiaowen Mountain today and successfully intercepted and killed Meng Ge, the second prince of Tianyuan, and his party. He killed six practitioners in the early stage of Wangji realm, injured one person, and seriously injured Meng Ge in the middle stage of Wangji realm.

!

After hearing the news, Zhao Yujie was shocked. For a moment, her hands and feet felt cold, and her whole body felt like she had fallen into an ice cave.

Not only did Zhao Ning defeat Meng Ge, who was also in the middle stage of Wangji Realm, but he also killed six Wangji Realm people?!

What kind of fighting power is this!

With such combat power, besides Tianyuan Khan, who else in Beihu can match him? With such combat power, how many more achievements will Zhao Ning make in this national war?

How prosperous the Zhao family will be after the war? How should she deal with the Zhao family?

Zhao Yujie was in a state of confusion, feeling that she was surrounded by enemies.

After half an hour, she finally calmed down and sent someone to inquire further.

She had allowed people from the "Abyss" to join the army a long time ago, and now she has some influence. After all, she had been in charge of the cabinet before, and her authority was not small. Many generals from poor families bought into her.

The two coincided, and before dawn, Zhao Yujie learned the details of the battle of Xiaowen Mountain.
To be continued...
