Chapter 180 I can’t protect you even if I take the Queen Mother’s photo today!
Wu Chongxing was the deputy general of the 10,000-strong army stationed in the Huainan Kingdom. After completing a day's training, he would usually go back to his room to read military books for an hour at Youshi.
He was never satisfied with his position as a lieutenant general. The current general trend of the world made him know that the opportunity to start a career would come at any time, and all he had to do was prepare in advance.
It's just that he didn't expect everything to happen so quickly.
"who!"
While Wu Chongxing was pondering a classic battle of Taizu in the book, he suddenly got startled. He subconsciously reached for the long knife hanging on the bedside and pointed it forward, looking at the handsome young man in front of him in astonishment.
"Wu Chongxing, the deputy general of the National Army stationed in Huainan, accepted the order."
Zhao Cuo held the Yizhi written on black brocade and the red gold scepter respectively.
"I would like to extend my sincere greetings to the Queen Mother!"
Without hesitation, Wu Chongxing performed the highest military salute of kneeling on one knee. Officials other than the garrison commander must meet three conditions if they want to mobilize the army. First, they must comply with the Queen Mother's decree, and secondly, they must have the golden scepter of the East Palace.
As well as the imperial tiger talisman, if one of the three is missing and the troops are mobilized, they will be considered as treason.
"The evidence is conclusive that King Huainan intends to rebel. General Wu Chongxing temporarily acts as the commander-in-chief and immediately mobilizes all troops to attack the palace!"
In fact, this message should be sent to the current commander-in-chief Xue Sixun at the moment, but this person is not trusted by the Empress Dowager, so at this juncture, only trustworthy people can be used.
"As you command!"
Wu Chongxing raised his hands excitedly and accepted the decree. He didn't care whether King Huainan rebelled or what happened. He only knew that at this time, the empress of the East Palace trusted him.
"This is the Tiger Talisman."
Zhao Cuo then took out a tiger-shaped token made of bronze from his arms.
After the procedures before troop deployment were completed, the military camp lit up under the gray sky, and the sound of horse hooves gradually became more intense.
The main reason why the imperial court was assured of the Huainan Kingdom was that there was a military camp less than half an hour away from the palace, and they could forcefully suppress the rebellion at any time.
"Something is going wrong, Your Majesty!"
When the King of Huainan and his son were playing chess in the study, a counselor suddenly stumbled in and said in horror:
"General Xue Sixun was deprived of military power, and Wu Chongxing became the commander-in-chief and led a heavily armed force to the palace!"
"What did you say!"
The chess pieces in King Huainan's hand were scattered all over the floor in an instant, he stood up with his eyes wide open, waved his hand and said with a pale face.
"Go quickly and summon all the generals to the main hall."
At this time, another burst of black mist floated into the house, and a girl wearing a pink and white coat and skirt appeared, it was Princess Anle.
"Zhao Cuo is missing."
She blinked her pure emerald eyes and said.
"It's really that guy!"
King Huainan was so angry that he cursed his mother!
"How did that kid run away under your nose, Anle? How could he mobilize the Huainan garrison? Could it be that the maid he brought with him was still the Queen Mother, and could give him various tokens and decrees at any time? He was
Is it possible to come prepared?"
"I don't know when Zhao Cuo left. That woman must really be the one who started the fire, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to deceive me."
Princess Anle said softly.
"Most of the fire-raisers alive in the human race don't even have ten fingers. Why did the man in the East Palace arrange for someone to protect Zhao Cuo? How can he be a junior?"
After King Huainan finished scolding, he looked at the Crown Prince with a bitter look on his face.
"Your Majesty, go and inform His Majesty of this matter!"
…
“The response is really fast.”
When Zhao Cuo led his army to the outside of the Huainan Palace, the palace city was already brightly lit and densely packed with soldiers standing in command of the strings.
"Your Majesty, please go to a safe place. Don't get hurt by the loss. The general will not be able to bear it."
Wu Chongxing advised.
"It doesn't matter."
Young Master Zhao shook his head. The Queen Mother was just staring at him. How could something happen to him?
"What does this mean, nephew Wu Jiu?"
They were about to order an attack on the city when King Huainan appeared on the palace wall.
"Your Majesty, if you surrender to Kaicheng at this time, you may still be able to save your clan."
Zhao Cuo said to him calmly.
"Who is the traitor and traitor between you and me?"
King Huainan sneered.
"Siege the city!"
Without saying a word, he drew his sword and pointed forward!
"Every soldier who surrenders now will be rewarded with glory and wealth."
At this moment, a man wearing a green robe suddenly stood above the palace. He was Mr. Gu who was beside Emperor Yongzhao and the teacher of Princess Anle.
"The fire bearer..."
The vague sense of oppression that almost made the air wail made everyone present look in awe. Why is it that in this world with extraordinary power, whoever has the military power is still the king, but the one who raises the fire can be aloof and inviolable?
In fact, even seventh-level cultivators are still ants in front of an army of tens of thousands. Even the ghosts and gods have to give in to the army of tens of thousands of creatures. Great cultivators will be suppressed on the battlefield of flesh and blood and can only use
One against a hundred.
But the situation is different for the existence of the Holy Realm. Even if they are a million-strong army, they who stand on top of the world can still be wiped out!
"Do you want to mess with the rules that have existed for thousands of years?"
Zhao Cuo politely handed over his hand and then asked.
"Junior, do you know that those who raise fire should not be humiliated?"
The man in green robes asked calmly. His face hidden under the brim of his hat was not clearly visible, but his words and actions made all the soldiers present fearful.
"How dare I offend the person who raised the fire? But if you dare to stop the officers and soldiers dispatched in accordance with the Queen Mother's decree, aren't you afraid that the Supreme Being will question you?"
Zhao Cuo's aggressive words attracted admiring looks from many soldiers.
"joke."
Mr. Gu's tone remained indifferent.
"I have traveled south of the Bajiang River without encountering any rivals. If the Queen Mother of the DPRK were to come in person today, I would also want her to return in despair."
Young Master Zhao's expression suddenly became strange. Why is this man speaking so strangely? Isn't he too good at pretending?
"I give you just a few seconds to leave. Now that I have finished speaking, the soldiers will attack the city!"
After his order, the soldiers who were still a little timid immediately charged with siege tools.
"You are arrogant! I can't protect you today even if I look after the Queen Mother, that's what I said!"
Mr. Gu was furious! Standing high in the sky, he raised his hand to grab Zhao Cuo. He who raised the fire killed one or two mortals and no one would kill them.
"Yeah?"
A lazy, cold and contemptuous female voice suddenly sounded, and a long golden whip that tore through the sea of clouds was struck at the green robe with overwhelming force.
"you!"
Mr. Gu's expression changed dramatically! He sacrificed a blue pagoda without hesitation! If you look closely, you can see that this tower is made of countless Gu insects.
The golden whip was whipped out regardless of anything else, and the pagoda instantly exploded into a fog of insects. The man in green robe was beaten until blood flowed from the corner of his mouth and he flew backwards.
He looked ugly but did not hesitate to turn into a silver strange insect and fled deep into the palace.
"The Queen Mother..."
The King of Huainan above the palace city was already pale. It was not that Mr. Gu was knocked back by a single blow that frightened him so much, but that the Queen Mother Zhao really came to the Huainan Kingdom in person! This woman had so much power that almost everyone who dared to openly oppose her
