Phoenix that can't smile

Chapter 582
Ming Gong, the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, casually climbed onto the city wall of Haojing and looked at it from a distance. As expected, thick smoke was obviously floating in the sky. The starting point of the smoke seemed to be Shuilongguan!
"Quickly tell me, what bad news happened on the border? Why did the smoke from the beacon fire get so close to the capital overnight?" In the Hall of Shuilong Shuren, an angry Ming Gong stared at the speechless man with blood-red eyes. ministers.

"My lord, the frontier has just sent an urgent report, saying that Xirong's more than [-] cavalry are approaching the capital, [-] urgent!" The cabinet minister Cheng Rong came in from outside the palace to report.

"How could Xirong escape the defenses of our Great Pass overnight and approach the city directly? Why did they suddenly send troops to provoke?" Ming Gong asked the officials furiously with his eyes wide open.

"Your Majesty, according to the military report, on the banner of Marshal Boding of Xirong, there is written on the banner of the Qing emperor, avenging the king of Lu. I am worried that it is the king of Lu who is afraid of crimes and secretly colluded with the enemies of Xirong to enter Beijing to force the palace!" Song Yan, the cabinet minister Said with tears in his eyes.

"It's unreasonable, this unfilial son really did such a treasonous act, where is An Tong? Immediately send troops to the palace of Lu Kingdom, I will personally interrogate this unfilial son!" Ming Gong was fueled by the fire, and suddenly became furious.

Cheng Rong was worried, and hurriedly remonstrated: "Your Majesty calm down, I suspect that the fact that King Lu colluded with Xirong to rebel and force the palace is probably an illusion created by Xirong spreading rumors. The king must not be fooled. Xirong people are uneasy and kind. The reason for spreading such vicious rumors is to make me, Da Zhou, suspicious of each other and mess up my position. Besides, it is Xi Rong who is approaching the city at the moment, not the Lu army. Please think twice!"

Hearing Cheng Rong's words, Minggong calmed down as if a basin of cold water had been poured on his head, looked at Cheng Rong and said, "In this case, I will order people to light the beacon fire on the beacon tower near the capital. If King Lu really If benevolence and filial piety are the same, he will definitely send troops to Beijing to escort and repel Xirong, if he does not move, it is obvious that he has a ghost in his heart!"

"Your Majesty's sage! Xi Rong's army has gone deep alone, and their foothold is not stable. At this time, we must mobilize reinforcements and return to Beijing, and we will definitely win a big victory!" Lu Kai, the cabinet minister at the side, was immediately elated and full of flattery.

Jianjia Palace, the spring is bright and the flowers are in full bloom. Baosi, who is just pregnant and has a slightly bulging belly, is happily playing in the small garden with Axi, Mingyue and Huiyue when suddenly there is a burnt smell from not far away. , suddenly spoiled the scenery.

Axi covered her nose and turned her head to ask Hui Yue, "Where did this thick smoke come from, so smoky? You see, the flowers in our palace are going to be smoked and withered!"

Hui Yue told Ah Xi in a low voice: "Sister, you don't know yet. Yesterday Xirong's more than [-] iron cavalry came to attack the capital. King of Soldiers."

"What? The soldiers from the West have already reached the city of Haojing? Why so fast? What are the tiger and cardinal troops doing?" Bao Si immediately changed his face when he heard what Ah Xi and Hui Yue were talking about, and frowned.

"My lord, I heard that the Xirong soldiers were specially brought in by His Royal Highness King Lu in order to enter Beijing and usurp the throne!" Hui Yue whispered.

"Nonsense, how could His Royal Highness King Lu do such a thing? He wants to rebel. He rebelled a long time ago at Shuilongguan. Why should he lure wolves into the house now and borrow soldiers and horses from Xirong's alien race?" Axi didn't wait for Huiyue to finish speaking. Righteously interrupt Hui Yue.

"Sister Axi, these words are all rumors deliberately spread everywhere. As for whether it is reliable or not, no one can say for sure." Hui Yue defended, staring at the sullen Axi.
