Girl, let me check it out.

However, besides Fang Weihan's matter, there were other reasons why he led his troops south this time.

The situation in the Great Zhou Dynasty had reached a precarious state. While the ruler and his ministers in the south were fighting among themselves, little did they know that the foreign tribes in the north had been coveting the fertile land of the Central Plains for a long time, just waiting for the right opportunity.

Tao Yan believed that as a loyal minister of the Great Zhou, he must give the people of this country a warning of what is going to happen next.

However, memorials to the emperor's memorials were not accepted and government orders were not implemented. The Uehara Wang family completely blocked the lifeblood of the civil service system of the imperial court.

So Tao Yan decided to use another method.

Military remonstration.

Tao Yan was never a scholar, he had never even read any books. His best way to solve problems was to mobilize troops to attack.

Although he was in Guyuan, he did not hold the rank of Iron Guard, so he had no right to mobilize the Changyuan Iron Guard.

But he is Tao Yan.

Relying on his handwritten letter, Tao Yan was able to easily mobilize the cavalry from the three towns of Guyuan, Huaiyuan and Tianfang to march south together.

They went around every city they encountered and broke through every checkpoint they encountered, and arrived at the city of Changming at lightning speed without letting anyone receive the news in advance.

Tao Yan knew very well that speed was of the essence in war and that he could not give the emperor and the aristocratic families too much time to react, so he did not mobilize the iron-clad infantry, but instead brought almost all of his cavalry troops.

He brought a total of 20,000 light cavalry and 3,000 heavy cavalry. It wasn't a large number, but it was enough.

"The Yulin Guards are out, let's go."

Tao Yan said lightly.

Tao Yunjiang walked beside him and clenched his fists silently.

……

In an inconspicuous corner next to the Suzaku Gate, a haggard girl was watching the scene with complicated eyes.

She saw Tao Yunjiang working non-stop for several days, running hundreds of miles, and returning to Changming with tens of thousands of cavalry.

She saw these people dressed in mourning, kneeling outside the Suzaku Gate and crying silently without saying a word.

She saw it all.

They had never met each other before, but they met in the same place.

It's all for his justice.

Xie Lingwan closed her eyes tiredly.

I can't speak honestly, but I can't speak impartially.

Am I really wrong?

You are right, I was really wrong.

The girl's pale lips moved as if she was muttering something.

But even she couldn't hear it clearly.

"elder sister……"

A skinny little hand tugged at her plain white skirt.

"Are you here to rescue His Royal Highness Prince Guangling as well?"

Xie Lingwan opened her confused eyes and looked over.

She was a dirty little girl, like a child from the outer city.

She opened her mouth, but no words came out.

"Mother said we can't cry. If the important people in the palace see us, they will think we are weak and easy to bully."

The little girl said crisply.

I cried?

Xie Lingwan subconsciously touched the corners of her eyes and was surprised to find that they were a little wet.

Oh, I actually cried.

She burst into laughter.

"Your mother is right. We can't cry."

Xie Lingwan squatted down and touched her head.

If someone who was familiar with Xie Lingwan was standing nearby, they would probably be shocked by her current appearance.

As everyone knows, Xie Lingwan hates poor people and children.

And she was so gentle to a poor child.

This is simply unbelievable.

"Nian Nian, where have you been?"

An anxious shout rang out.

"I'm here, mother!"

The little girl jumped up and waved.

Not long after, a woman in coarse white clothes came hurriedly over.

"Mom, I'm talking to this beautiful sister!"

The little girl threw herself into the woman's arms and couldn't wait to point at the beautiful sister she had just met.

"She is also here to save His Royal Highness Prince Guangling."

The woman took a look at Xie Lingwan and found that she was clearly wearing luxurious cloud-patterned silk, and her demeanor was definitely not that of a girl from an ordinary family.

This must be a young lady from a wealthy family.

"Excuse me, girl."

"It doesn't matter."

Xie Lingwan said gently.

The woman could only pray that her daughter did not offend Xie Lingwan, and quickly pulled her daughter away.

"Sister, sister!"

The little girl walked away while trying hard to look back.

"There's dust on your face, remember to wipe it off!"

Her small figure quickly disappeared in the crowd.

Xie Lingwan raised a finger and gently touched her forehead.

Spots of white ash fell on her fingertips.

Like the ashes of grass and trees that were burned by fire after being swept by wind and frost.

The girl stood there blankly, looking lonely and desolate.

The magnificent streets of Changming Ming Street were filled with people kneeling in layers of white clothes, like a grand funeral.

Xie Lingwan was also dressed in white, but she looked so out of place.

The girl's nose felt sore.

She really wanted to... really wanted to cry.

But she can't.

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, my friends. The moon is bright and the family is reunited. On this wonderful night, you must spend time with your family and friends. If you can't spend time with them due to limited conditions, then you must raise a toast to yourself and wish yourself a happy Mid-Autumn Festival. Life is but 80,000 meals, how many of which are Mid-Autumn Festival?

Chapter 187: Phoenix Appears

"Master Tao, please come in."

The gate of Changming Nan Palace opened, and a team of Yulin cavalry walked out slowly.

Liang Yi, the commander of the Yulin Army, dismounted from his horse and respectfully clasped his fists towards Tao Yan.

"Ah."

Tao Yan nodded to him calmly.

"You guys stay here, Yun Jiang just goes in with me."

The old general gave instructions to the people behind him.

Obviously Tao Yan still took the emperor and his ministers' feelings into consideration and did not completely lose face, which would have made everyone look bad.

Outside soldiers are not allowed to enter the inner city. He has already made an exception today, but it is still explainable.

However, from ancient times to the present, anyone who dared to bring the army into the Changming Palace would be equivalent to putting a knife directly to the emperor's neck, which is no different from treason.

"As ordered."

The iron-clad generals behind him responded one after another.

Tao Yunjiang then followed Tao Yan and continued walking towards the palace gate.

"Wait a minute."

Just when they were halfway there, Liang Yi stretched out his sword and blocked Tao Yunjiang's way.

The girl raised her head and looked at him coldly.

"This girl's sword cannot be brought in."

Liang Yi said with a half-smile.

"Don't look at me like that, young lady. This is the rule of the Heavenly Family. Even if you are the granddaughter of Minister Tao, you must abide by it."

"Lord Tao can enter the palace with his sword and shoes, but you can't."

After saying that, he waved his hand.

The two soldiers behind Liang Yi walked forward and stretched out their hands towards Tao Yunjiang, apparently wanting to snatch the Qi Cang sword directly from her.

"boom!"

When their hands were still one foot away from the Qi Cang sword, a powerful blood and energy shock suddenly erupted from the girl's body.

The Lingshan Dragon Pond Formation was instantly activated, and a golden dragon was formed, looking at Tao Yunjiang as if facing a powerful enemy, and letting out a low roar.

The aftermath of the girl's blood and energy directly knocked away two Yulin Guards who tried to snatch the sword from her hand.

Their figures were like cannonballs, smashing into the cavalry of the Yulin Guards in the distance, knocking several cavalrymen to the ground with their horses.

"Rules? When has he ever followed the rules of your family? Now you want me to talk about the rules."

The girl's eyes reflected the golden gate of heaven in front of her with indifference, but her mouth spoke extremely outrageous words.

She sheathed her sword, and the ponytail behind her head moved in the wind, making her beautiful face, like a spring peach, even more stunningly beautiful.

After Fang Weihan was arrested by these so-called big shots, Tao Yunjiang was too lazy to play any superficial face-saving games with them.

If she could defeat those Tianque white-robed men, she would have chopped all of these incompetent guys to pieces long ago.

"you!"

Liang Yi felt a chill down his spine and cold sweat rolled down his forehead.

The moment Tao Yunjiang's blood and energy exploded, he was firmly locked by a powerful force, making him unable to move at all.

What's even more terrifying is that he didn't detect any sign of Tao Yan using any cultivation skills.

In other words, the power just now emanated from Tao Yunjiang.

Judging from the intensity of the blood and energy she just burst out, it is clearly the Mingwu power of the divine realm!

How the hell is this possible?

A Mingwu who is only 10 years old? This level of cultivation talent is simply shocking!

Liang Yi recovered a little from his shock and was about to say something to reprimand this crazy woman for her rude behavior.

Before he could even open his mouth, Tao Yan interrupted him with a slow sentence.

"Master Liang."
