Palace scheming: Empress Leng Palace

Chapter 276

Because Xuanyuanze and the courtiers still have related government affairs to deal with, the martial arts competition cannot be held all day long.

Therefore, the martial arts competition in the morning of the first day was postponed until all the four groups of Qinggong competitions were over, and it was not even the time, and there were a total of 52 finalists on this day!


The next day's martial arts contest is a sword test, because the purpose of the martial arts competition is to select capable people with general talents. If only the moves are complicated and old-fashioned, and it takes a long time, it is difficult to determine the winner within the limited time .


So this time, Xuanyuan Ze and the military officer discussed and decided to divide the 52 people into four groups, and then limit the thirteen people in each group to a circular circle at the same time, and ask them to slap each other around. People's clothing starts with the sound of the drum, and when the sound of the drum stops, the person who has not gone half a step out of the circle and has the clothes on his body in good condition is the winner!


So the first round of the competition ended successfully on the [-]th day, when Yun Qing watched the twenty outstanding finalists step forward to salute the emperor and queen, he couldn't help but feel a lot of relief in his heart.


These 20 people are not only proficient in riding and shooting, but also their martial arts are unfathomable. It is not a lie to say that all of them can block a hundred with one!Tianque can have them willing to serve the country, it is the emperor's blessing, and even the people's blessing!


As expected, Xuanyuan Yi was also among the 20 people, Yun Qing looked at his handsome and clear complexion, and couldn't help but worry in his heart.However, the thing that made her even more worried and sad was that after a moment, it came quickly like a tide.


Suddenly there was a rushing sound of horseshoes from far away, upon hearing this sound, Xuanyuan Ze's complexion suddenly sank, as if the sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, so solemn that Yun Qing's heart stopped a little.


"Report!" Yaoyao Xinmawei's voice cracked slightly, and the sound of the horse's hooves accompanied by his long trailing sound caused Xuanyuanze's palms to tighten, making Yun Qing's hand bones held in his hands As soon as it hurt, he clearly felt the uneasiness in his heart at the moment.


She knew that the only person who could ride a horse in the palace was not authorized by the emperor, and the only one who was responsible for reporting the urgent letter to Sanyu at the border, and this kind of urgent letter, if it was not a complete victory, it would be an unprecedented defeat!

And the urgent letter that came when the frontier was in a hurry and the war seemed to be defeated for a while should have only one content: that is, the frontier was defeated!

The Imperial Forest Army quickly stepped forward to intercept, the man on horseback dismounted five feet in front of the steps and galloped, holding up in his hand an urgent battle report with three antelope feathers stuck in it. problem occurs.


Sure enough, the letter was a report of defeat and retreat from Guyang, written by military advisor Cao Zijian.

It is said that Guyang has fallen, General Yuan was seriously injured, and seeing that he was weak, he protected General Yuan and led a small number of more than 1 soldiers to retreat to Xiongguan. Please send troops to reinforce quickly!

In this battle, a total of [-] soldiers died in battle.

In an instant, the wind picked up the dust.

Everyone was originally happy because of the [-] warriors who won the shortlist, but in a blink of an eye, they felt a sense of loss, and the sky was dark.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Immediately, Xuanyuanze urgently summoned all the important officials in the court to discuss a solution. For Gu Yang, which had already fallen, should he send heavy troops to recover it, or should he save his strength and defend the Xiongguan first before making any plans.


After Yun Qing had dinner, she was invited by the Empress Dowager.After a brief conversation, Yun Qing accompanied her to Ning Xin Palace to visit Xuanyuan Yi at the Queen Mother's request.


The queen mother did not want Xuanyuan Yi to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but he refused to listen to persuasion at all, not only went to the martial arts field, but also successfully entered the first round of competition with extremely high results.


She was really worried about his health. Although he was good at martial arts, his body had not fully recovered. Even if the hemoptysis improved, he would still suffer from the blood gu disease every month.

At that time, if he was in the extremely cold frontier, how would he bear such a thin body?


Yun Qing has been feeling extremely heavy since hearing the news of Gu Yang's fall in the afternoon, and she couldn't fully understand some of the Queen Mother's words. There were several times when the Queen Mother obviously raised the volume impatiently, and she smiled distraughtly. Handle.


Neither she nor Xuanyuan Ze were willing to let the queen mother know about this matter, fearing that the queen mother would not be able to withstand such a blow because of her advanced age.So although Yun Qing's heart is heavy, she still has to smile with nothing to do, so that the queen mother will no longer be suspicious.

In fact, she also knew that this matter could not be hidden for a long time, and she was afraid that the queen mother would still find it difficult to accept it.


On the way to Ningxin Palace, the moonlight appeared and disappeared, like a naughty child always playing hide-and-seek in the clouds disobediently.

The cool wind blows Yunqing's clothes and hair from time to time, and the slightly cold temperature clearly reminds Yunqing that it is already autumn!


If the war continues and the national treasury is short of food and grass, then when the severe winter comes in the near future, what will the border soldiers use to feed their hunger and keep out the cold?

I'm afraid that at that time, Tianque's difficulty will become even more difficult!
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"Why are you here?" Seeing the Empress Dowager who appeared in his dormitory together with Yun Qing, Xuanyuan Yi's handsome face could not help showing a trace of impatience, and his voice was also so cold that it contained no emotion.


"The queen mother said that she is worried about your body, so let me come with her to see you! Have you had dinner yet?" Yun Qing looked at the indifferent young man, and then at the slightly stiff-faced queen mother, and couldn't help but lightly With a smile, he tried to break the deadlock for the two of them.


"En!" Although he didn't like that woman appearing in front of his eyes, Xuanyuan Yi didn't want to make things difficult for her when facing Yun Qing.

He couldn't help but nodded lightly and hummed, which was regarded as an answer.


"Yi'er, the queen mother hopes that you can listen to the queen mother's words, don't trust her and take part in the competition, okay?" Situ Xianyu looked at this son who always cared about her, and couldn't help but sound a little cautious.

Although she is the queen mother and his biological mother, in front of him, she is just a guilty mother!
