"Don't you want to see me, the Queen Mother?"

Zhao Cuo raised his head and looked at the clear sky again.

At this time, thousands of troops and horses were rushing past him.

The holy war is over, the fire-raisers in the sky have dispersed, and the bad women have disappeared.

"Commander Zhao, the rebels in Yue City saw that the deposed emperor's party was defeated. Most of them have broken up or asked to surrender."

Wu Chongxing crossed his horse and came to General Zhao's side.

"In the opinion of the commander-in-chief..."

He immediately turned around and looked back.

"General, do you think that the main force of the Chu army is here, or that you can take this opportunity to capture half of the Chu country?"

Wu Chongxing spoke eagerly.

"It is better to leave the remaining brave men to pursue the poor bandits."

Young Master Zhao nodded.

"Go and bring 20,000 troops to capture all the land at the junction of Chu State and Ningxi Prefecture, and spread the reputation of the Queen Mother."

Zhao Cuo made a decisive decision immediately. He would not let go of this opportunity to expand his victory. Of course, it was impossible to take down the Chu State that had existed for four hundred years in one fell swoop.

He was able to easily seize the Ning Kingdom because King Ning was in his hands. The current new emperor was the son of Emperor Sejong.

It was not so easy for the Dayu court to take back the Chu Kingdom.

"The general will obey his orders."

Wu Chongxing accepted the order and left with an excited look on his face.

General Zhao is doing the task of commanding the overall situation in Yue City.

He understood that he had no chance to kill Emperor Yongzhao this time, but it was already a great victory and eliminated the possibility of the Seven Kingdoms and the Gu clan uniting.

"As Anle, as a fire-raiser, the deposed emperor can't do anything to her, so don't worry too much."

Young Master Zhao relaxed his mind.

He felt that being temporarily separated from Anle was not a bad thing.

The little witch's feelings for him are too twisted. It's good to let her calm down for a while. Anyway, they won't be separated for too long.

"After returning to Beijing this time, the imperial court should make regulations to pacify the Seven Kingdoms. This battle must be completely successful before next summer."

Zhao Cuo felt heavy in his heart, and Her Royal Highness the Princess's silver hair brushed against his heart again, making him feel itchy.

The consequences of a protracted war between Dayu and the Seven Kingdoms would be unimaginable.

The Mobei Demon Court will directly go south to seize the tripod.

"Shuai Zhao..."

General Zhao waited in Yuecheng until evening before receiving the military report.

Emperor Yongzhao and others withdrew to the capital of Chu with the remaining troops. After the Ningxi Prefecture army captured several cities, they did not dare to advance rashly and gave up for the time being.

Wu Chongxing's advance was very gratifying. He basically captured most of the junction between Ningxi Mansion and the Chu Army, and the city that was still holding on could not hold out for long.

"You go and pass on my general's military orders. General Wu will be in charge of the war in Chu State. If there is any urgent matter, send it to me immediately."

After Prince Zhao entrusted the military affairs to Wu Chongxing, he took his people back to Ningxi Mansion.

There will definitely be no major battles in the Chu Kingdom in a short period of time.

Even if the Yan State wanted to send troops, it would not be so fast.

"Has the Queen Mother returned to Beijing?"

Zhao Cuo also felt uneasy on the way back.

The bad woman was obviously really angry when she found out about him and Anle.

However, with her strong temperament, it was impossible for her to go back without saying a word. She should be waiting for him at Ningxi Mansion.

'If Sister Lan really goes back to Xiang Jing...'

He was restless and restless.

Yuecheng is on the border of Ningxi Prefecture. He traveled all night and finally arrived at Guining, the prefecture before dawn.

Under the night, he also felt tired, but he still cheered up and headed straight to the city where the outline of the city wall could already be seen.

"Whoever comes, stop! Dismount immediately and be questioned. Anyone who violates this rule will be executed."

A group of troops surrounded Zhao Cuo from below the city.

"It's me, General."

Zhao Cuo said while sitting on the horse.

"You...see Zhao Shuai for your humble position!"

The leading soldier was stunned for a moment and then saluted quickly.

"That's all, get up and talk. Why are you waiting to defend the city?"

The young master looked at the dozens of soldiers around him in surprise.

He had some impression of most of these people.

It was the Shenwu Army he brought from the capital.

"General."

The leading young general said immediately.

"The Queen Mother has returned to Ningcheng, and she has specially ordered us to replace the city's defenders with sergeants to prevent any unexpected events."

Zhao Thief breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what they said.

"I want to go into the city at this time. Is it okay?"

he asked softly.

"The general is a bad guy."

The Shenwu Army generals guarding the city quickly saluted.

"How dare I stop your driving?"

"Open the city gate."

Zhao Cuo raised his hand downwards several times.

After a while, he entered the city with his accompanying troops.

Guining City was originally the royal city of the Ning Kingdom. He had been living in the Ning Palace that the female devil had given to him. Sister Lan should be there now, right?

"The bad woman must have fallen asleep now. I will go back to the palace to rest first, and I will apologize again tomorrow morning."

The young prince walked directly towards Prince Ning's Palace.

He was already relieved.

The empress is still here but not too angry.

"Meet Mr. Zhao."

When Zhao Thief came outside the palace gate, he saw familiar faces.

He also learned that Queen Mother Zhao was in the palace and occupied the main hall that he usually used, which was reassuring.

The Queen was very angry when she got up. Of course he would not disturb Queen Mother Dayu's dream at this time, so she went to the side hall alone.

"It will be dawn in another hour. Let's take a shower then and sleep for a while first."

Zhao Cuo was very worried.

Xiaobiezhi seems to be ignoring him now.

Yan'er is still in the palace. I wonder if there was any conflict between them when the Queen Mother came.

"It's too difficult for me. I might as well go back to Beijing and die in my sister's arms. I might even be cut into pieces by the Queen Mother tomorrow..."

Young Master Zhao felt ashamed. He knew that he shouldn't do something that would make a bad woman sad, but he did it again and again.

"Master Zhao, please stay."

A familiar voice came.

"Um?"

Zhao Cuo looked back.

"Aunt Feiwu, why are you..."

Standing behind him was Fei Wu, the female devil's personal maid.

"The Queen Mother summons you to come to the palace for an audience."
