Chapter 121: Good News Reaches the Capital

When the motorcade of the Northern Prince's Palace left Anping City, some people in the palace were actually a little nervous. They were all worried that the cavalry outside Anping City was actually the barbarian cavalry.

However, when they left the city gate, they found that the cavalry was still on guard and did not do anything to the motorcade of the Prince's Palace. Only then did people feel relieved.

At this time, a carriage in the motorcade opened the curtain, and Lin Wanyun and Chen Wanrong carefully looked at the heavy cavalry in black armor through the window.

Seeing that the leader of the troops was a master, Chen Wanrong's eyebrows slightly raised.

At this time, Lin Wanyun said: "These people do not look like barbarians, but they also do not look like the heavy cavalry of Daxia."

Chen Wanrong did not speak, and she naturally discovered this.

There are some differences between the barbarians and the Daxia people, and they can be easily distinguished.

The soldiers of this cavalry look very much like Daxia people at first glance, but Daxia does not seem to have heavy cavalry in black standard armor.

The heavy cavalry of Daxia used silver armor, not black, so these heavy cavalry were probably not from Daxia.

This is strange.

Five thousand heavy cavalry, neither from the barbarians nor from Daxia, so where did they come from?

Can the Northern King create an army out of thin air?

Lin Wanyun once again made a bold guess, "Could these cavalry be from other dynasties?"

Since they are not from Daxia, nor from the barbarians, and even less likely from Beijun, there is only the last possibility, these cavalry are foreign aids invited by the Northern King from other dynasties!

Chen Wanrong said softly at this time: "Aunt Lin, there are barbarians in the north, Dayue in the west, Daxia in the south, and the sea in the east."

Chen Wanrong did not directly deny Lin Wanyun's guess, but her words obviously reminded Lin Wanyun that her guess was unlikely.

First of all, apart from Daxia, the only dynasty that relied on Beijun, Dayue Dynasty, had no heavy cavalry. They were so poor that they could not lend heavy cavalry to Beijun even if they had them. If the cavalry was really borrowed by the King of Bei from other dynasties, it would have to pass through Daxia or Dayue.

A heavy cavalry of 5,000 people would attract people's attention if it passed through any dynasty.

This was a heavy cavalry with full armor, not ordinary soldiers of 5,000 people. Once the heavy cavalry was put on the road, the surrounding countries or dynasties would soon know that you had mobilized the heavy cavalry.

It was impossible for the King of Bei to secretly transport this heavy cavalry to Beijun from the sea, right?

At this moment, the leader of the black cavalry suddenly left the cavalry square and headed straight for the convoy.

Seeing this scene, Lin Wanyun suddenly became nervous.

The leader of this cavalry looked very unusual. He seemed to be a fierce soldier who had walked out of the underworld. He had a very heavy evil spirit. I don't know how many people he had killed to have such a heavy evil spirit.

Fortunately, the Grandmaster-level commander did not come to their carriage, but went to the carriage of Princess Mu Zixuan.

Xuanyuan Chen came to the front and back of Mu Zixuan's carriage, immediately got off the horse, half squatted and said: "General Xuanyuan Chen pays homage to the princess!"

Mu Zixuan, who was looking out through the window, saw this scene and immediately said: "General Xuanyuan, please get up quickly!"

At this time, the people in the carriages in front and behind Mu Zixuan opened the curtains, slightly stuck their heads out of the windows, and looked towards Mu Zixuan.

Xuanyuan Chen said "Thank you, Princess", and got up from the ground.

Mu Zixuan asked curiously at this time: "General Xuanyuan, I heard that the prince led the soldiers of Beijun to kill 200,000 barbarian soldiers. Is this true?"

Xuanyuan Chen immediately replied: "Replying to the princess, this is absolutely true."

"Not only that, we also captured 100,000 barbarian soldiers."

Hearing Xuanyuan Chen's answer, Chu Qingli, who had been expressionless in a carriage, couldn't help but frowned.

Judging from Xuanyuan Chen's attitude towards Mu Zixuan, it seems that Xuanyuan Chen is really a general under the Northern King?

Even if the barbarians want to trick the Northern Princess to go north, now that the Northern Prince's convoy has left the city, there is no need for them to continue acting.

And this seems to be a master-level general.

Chu Qingli can feel the murderous aura and the overwhelming warrior momentum on him.

Does a master-level barbarian general need to act in front of the Northern Princess?

"Barbarian warriors" usually don't kneel to women. This is common sense even the people of Daxia know.

But just now Xuanyuan Chen half-knelt in front of Mu Zixuan, which proves that this Xuanyuan Chen is probably not a barbarian general.

Chu Qingli's heart was half cold.

Originally, she was ready to run away with her sister, but Xuanyuan Chen ran to the princess and knelt on one knee.

Lin Wanyun and Chen Wanrong were also surprised.

When Xuanyuan Chen half-knelt in front of the Queen of the North, it showed that this heavy cavalry was the heavy cavalry of the Queen of the North, otherwise the general would not have half-knelt in front of the Queen of the North.

"In this era", generally only soldiers who particularly recognized the hostess would half-kneel in front of the hostess.

To put it simply, if Xuanyuan Chen only recognized the King of the North, he would not need to half-kneel to Mu Zixuan. When other generals of Daxia met Mu Zixuan, they also did not need to half-kneel, but only needed to bow and respectfully.

His performance of this ceremony was, to a certain extent, like saying "I see the Queen of the North as I see the King of the North."

At this time, Chen Wanrong murmured: "It seems that the whole Daxia has been deceived by the King of the North."

Lin Wanyun said worriedly: "Palace Master, let's leave Beijun directly. The King of the North is not a mediocre person. He must have seen that we have ulterior motives for approaching him."

The King of the North has secretly accumulated such a huge power, which is enough to show that he is very scheming. How could such a person not see that Xuanyue Palace has a purpose to approach him.

If the King of the North knew that Xuanyue Palace wanted to control him with love Gu, I am afraid that the King of the North would be unfavorable to them.

Chen Wanrong said at this time: "People are easier to control when they have desires. He has secretly accumulated such a huge power, which must be for the position in the capital."

"Xuanyue Palace should help him even more at this time."

Lin Wanyun instantly understood what Chen Wanrong meant. Chen Wanrong wanted to treat Lu Chen as a puppet, and then fight to the death with Emperor Xia, and finally they, Xuanyue Palace, would reap the benefits.

Chen Wanrong's idea was very simple. Since the King of the North had accumulated such a huge power, she would control the King of the North first, and then let the King of the North and Emperor Xia fight to the death.

And this would not prevent them from using Lu Chen to refine the Dragon Subduing Curse.

Originally, Lu Chen was only valuable for refining the Dragon Subduing Curse, but now Lu Chen's value in Chen Wanrong's heart has risen to a new height.

After hearing Chen Wanrong's words, Lin Wanyun sighed in her heart and said nothing more.

At this time, the convoy continued to move forward.

...

Daxia Dynasty.

Beijing, Xuanzheng Hall.

Today, as usual, Emperor Xia was furious in the court again.

"After investigating for so long, we didn't even find the shadow of an assassin. What's the use of your Ministry of Justice!!!"

Hearing Emperor Xia's roar, the officials of the Ministry of Justice trembled and dared not breathe.

Originally, Emperor Xia only gave the Ministry of Justice a few days to investigate the bloodbath at the Eighth Prince's residence. As a result, after a few days, they had no news about the assassin. Later, who knows who was smart enough to find the assassin of Blood Moon Tower to take the blame, saying that the assassin of Blood Moon Tower had a grudge against the Eighth Prince, so he wanted to assassinate the Eighth Prince.

But Emperor Xia was not so easy to fool. Soon Emperor Xia got the news that the owner of Blood Moon Tower had died in Beijun a long time ago. Although he didn't know how he died, the Blood Moon Tower in the capital was already dead in name only.

It was obvious that the Ministry of Justice did not find the real assassin, so it pulled the Blood Moon Tower out to take the blame.

Later, Emperor Xia dealt with a group of officials from the Ministry of Justice and gave them some time to continue investigating.

As a result, there is still no trace until now.

The officials of the Ministry of Justice knew that there was a conflict between the King of the North and the Eighth Prince, but the King of the North was a waste. They couldn't push the blame on the King of the North. If they pushed the blame on the King of the North, it would probably make Emperor Xia even more angry.

At this time, the left prime minister Lin Gaoyuan said with a stiff face: "Your Majesty, it is important to find the assassin who assassinated the eighth prince, but the most important thing at the moment is the situation in the north."

Lin Gaoyuan cares about the situation in the north more than anyone else in the court. After all, it is his son who leads the troops to the battle.

After hearing Lin Gaoyuan's reminder, Emperor Xia calmed down and then said to the people in the Ministry of Justice: "I will give you another three days. If you still can't find anything, you will consider the consequences yourself."

Speaking of this, Emperor Xia was about to sit down when suddenly a soldier's voice came from outside the Xuanzheng Hall.

"A great victory in the north!!!"

Hearing this, the ministers in the Xuanzheng Hall were stunned.

A great victory?

Can there be a great victory at this time?

With the 70,000 soldiers of the court and the old, weak and sick people in Beijun, it is already very good to be able to defend Beijun.

How could there be a great victory?

It is obvious at a glance that the generals on the front line forged the victory report in order to falsely report military merits.

When they thought that the person leading the troops to the north was the son of the left prime minister Lin Gaoyuan, the people of the right prime minister Zhao Wenhan's faction swallowed their saliva, moistened their throats, and immediately prepared to impeach Lin Xiuming for forging the victory report.

However, when the Hong Ling messenger entered the hall, the Hong Ling messenger's words directly made the entire court silent and fell into a dead silence.

After the Hong Ling messenger entered the Xuanzheng Hall, he immediately knelt down, holding up the battle report with both hands, and shouted with all his strength: "Your Majesty, the King of the North led the soldiers of the North County and fought bravely, killing 200,000 barbarian soldiers and capturing 100,000 barbarian soldiers!"

As soon as these words came out, it was like a heavy bomb, and the whole court exploded instantly.

All the ministers were stunned.

They had seen fake battle reports, but they had never seen such a fake battle report!

Killed 200,000 barbarians?

What a joke!

With just a few soldiers in the North County, it was already very good to be able to resist the attack of the barbarians.

And killed 200,000 barbarian soldiers?

It's almost the same that 200,000 civilians were slaughtered by the barbarians!

Who wrote this war report?

This is not a war report, this is a list of all ten tribes!

I updated 8,000 words yesterday, but there is not a single five-star praise, it hurts me so much.
