Learn a small skill every day and embark on a crazy life

Chapter 67 Ouyang Jingrui
The black and white pieces on the chessboard seemed to have turned into stars, shining brightly in the starry sky, exuding a mysterious atmosphere.

At the same time, a white piece appeared on the chessboard. This white piece seemed to have life, emitting a faint light and illuminating the entire galaxy.

When Li Xincheng saw the white piece, he was immediately attracted to it.

He stared at the chessboard intently, as if the whole world had disappeared and only the white piece remained.

After a long while, Li Xincheng suddenly felt a shock all over his body, and a glimmer of enlightenment flashed in his eyes.

He excitedly grabbed Shen Qiu's hand and said incoherently: "Great, great! This is simply a stroke of genius. I understand... I finally understand..."

Li Xincheng finally came out of the maze, and his eyes were full of life again.

Seeing this, Shen Qiu also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this "God's hand" was really useful.

"Teacher, you are finally awake." Xie Liuliang cried with joy. He excitedly held Li Xincheng's hand, as if he was afraid that he would disappear again.

"Hahaha, I'm fine. Sorry for making you worry."

Li Xincheng laughed heartily. He looked at Shen Qiu with gratitude in his eyes. "Boss Shen, this time it's all thanks to you. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would really be lost in the way of chess."

"Mr. Li, you're too kind. I just happened to help a little." Shen Qiu said modestly.

……

The next day.

In the imperial capital, the palace was decorated with lights and colorful decorations inside and outside, and the atmosphere was filled with joy and festivity.

Today is the 60th birthday of the Empress Dowager of the Dachuan Dynasty. Princes, ministers, and wealthy families from all over the country have come to celebrate her birthday and present her with precious gifts, hoping to win her smile. More importantly, they want to take this opportunity to show their faces in front of the Empress and consolidate their own positions.

Some people don’t even have the qualifications to come, they can only send gifts and put their names on it.

At this time, there was singing and dancing in the Zhenghua Hall. The dancers danced gracefully and the musicians played cheerful music.

At the grand banquet, there was a wide variety of fine wines and delicacies, and men and women in gorgeous clothes were drinking and chatting happily.

Even though the Queen Mother and the Empress had not yet entered, many people had already arrived at the Zhenghua Hall to wait.

However, just the night before, Qin Wujie, who was far away in the northern border, summoned 300,000 Dingbei troops overnight, rebelled that day, and quickly captured two cities.

……

In the imperial study, Ouyang Jinying was reviewing memorials. There was a hint of fatigue between her brows, but her eyes were still sharp and intimidating without even getting angry.

"Your Majesty, urgent news from Northern Frontier: Marquis Dingbei has started a rebellion in Northern Frontier!"

Suddenly, a eunuch dressed in eunuch clothes walked quickly into the imperial study, knelt on the ground, and said in a trembling voice.

"what?"

Upon hearing this, the memorial in the empress's hand dropped to the ground with a "pop" sound, and her face instantly turned pale. "Why did he choose this day? He... He is so brave!"

"Your Majesty, please calm down." The eunuch said hurriedly.

"Calm down, how can you ask me to calm down?"

The empress stood up suddenly and glared at the eunuch. "Qin Wujie has 200,000 Dingbei troops under his command and has guarded the northern border for many years. He is deeply loved by the army. It is clear that he had planned this in advance. Convey my order and summon all the ministers to the main hall to discuss matters!"

"Yes!"

The eunuch did not dare to delay, and quickly stood up and left the imperial study.

Ouyang Jinying took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

She knew that at this moment, she must not lose her composure.

"Qin Wujie, do you really think that I am afraid of you?" A cold light flashed in the empress's eyes, and she muttered to herself.

At this moment, an old man dressed in eunuch's clothes used space teleportation and appeared in the imperial study in the blink of an eye.

"Your Majesty, Prince Rui has already taken action. Please make the decision." The old man bowed and said in a low and hoarse voice.

Ouyang Jinying was not surprised, she just smiled coldly and said, "My stupid brother couldn't help but take action after all."

The old man's name is Wei Yang. He is the director of the imperial palace who has served Ouyang Jinying for many years. However, his real identity is one of the secret agents left by the previous emperor. He is a powerful man who has reached the middle stage of the Martial Honor Realm and is loyal to Ouyang Jinying.

After a moment of silence, Ouyang Jinying took a deep breath, as if he had made a decision, and said, "Well, what is going to happen will happen. Take my phoenix talisman and go mobilize the army yourself to restore order." "I obey your command!"

After Wei Yang took the Phoenix Talisman, he disappeared into the imperial study in a flash.

"Somebody come!"

The empress called out in a deep voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, a palace maid hurried in and lowered her head and asked, "What do you want, Your Majesty?"

"Change!"

Ouyang Jinying said calmly: "Today, I want to let those traitors know what regret means."

……

This news could not be concealed. At the same time, in Zhenghua Hall.

Everyone was chatting excitedly when suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps were heard outside the hall.

"Urgent report..."

Hearing this, everyone turned to look.

I saw a general in armor running in with a serious expression.

"What's going on? Today is the Queen Mother's birthday. Why is this person so flustered?"

"Could it be that someone so blind as to cause trouble today?"

Everyone was talking and guessing the general's purpose.

The general walked to the center of the hall, knelt on one knee, and said in a loud voice: "Report to Prime Minister Lin, urgent news from the northern border!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the originally noisy hall suddenly became quiet.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the general, with a hint of confusion and uneasiness on his face.

"Why are you so panicked?"

As the Empress Dowager and the Empress had not yet entered the hall, Prime Minister Lin Han, the head of all officials, stood up, frowned slightly, and spoke in a somewhat displeased tone.

The general took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Marquis Dingbei...Marquis Dingbei Qin Wujie has started a rebellion!"

"boom!"

These words were like a thunderclap exploding in the hall, and everyone was immediately in an uproar.

"what?"

"Qin Wujie rebelled?"

"This...how is this possible?"

"He is the Marquis of Dingbei who has guarded the northern border for many years!"

"Qin Wujie, how dare he..."

Everyone looked horrified, as if they couldn't believe their ears.

What they didn't know was that worse news was yet to come.

Prince Rui, Ouyang Jingrui, paid a large sum of money to bribe some of the guards at the east gate of the imperial capital, and personally led 60,000 Youyan troops into the imperial capital.

"Urgent report..."

Another general in white armor hurried in from outside.

The sound of armor colliding was particularly harsh in the silent hall, as if knocking at everyone's heart.

"Reporting to Prime Minister Lin, King Rui... King Rui has led 60,000 Youyan troops and has already broken through the East Gate of the Imperial Capital and charged in."

The general in white armor spoke in a hurried tone, with cold sweat on his forehead. It was obvious that he had rushed here at full speed to report the situation.
