It's not yet dawn, but Tangtang has already put on her foggy silver armor.

Qian Shuang took the phoenix helmet for her, Ming Wuci carried the "Moon Chasing Sword", and started patrolling the camp with dozens of civilian and military officers.

Three days ago, all the troops headed by the Xuanwu Army had prepared their clothes, armor, equipment, vehicles and horses, and were now waiting in the military tent in an orderly manner.

The soldiers were ready to go, standing like rows of straight pine trees in the dark night.

In the hazy drizzle, except for the neat footsteps of the soldiers patrolling the camp, not a single cough could be heard on the huge island.

Tangtang checked the baggage and raised her hand to signal to the people around her: "Get ready for sacrifice."

"yes."

In an instant, several fire dragons lit up, and soldiers and horses gathered in the dark night.

After worshiping heaven and earth, the meat of the martyred cattle and mutton was cooked and distributed to the soldiers, and the blood of the cattle and mutton was sprinkled on the drums, flags, swords and guns.

In the complete silence, a clear neighing sound was heard, and the phoenix, carrying Empress Mingde in armor, rose into the sky, and the phoenix fire illuminated the entire island.

The soldiers looked up one after another, the excitement on their faces was beyond words, and they prostrated like an overwhelming number of people: "Greetings to the Empress!"

The phoenix circled the island and stopped in mid-air.

Tangtang stood up from Phoenix's back, and the endless army suddenly became quiet and solemn.

"Since ancient times, the phoenix has come to the world, bringing good fortune and peace," Tangtang said loudly, "This battle will protect my great rivers and mountains, the universe, the sun and the moon."

The soldiers unanimously raised their swords and guns: "Capture the emperor, guard the rivers and mountains, and protect the people."

The heartfelt shouts of tens of thousands of people were deafening, swallowing up the mountains and rivers. Hundreds of "Qingyun Fire Dragon" parked on the shore also fired three times, which was earth-shattering.

Tangtang raised the "Moon Chaser Knife" in her hand: "Comrades, do you dare to fight?"

"Never give up even to death! Never give up even to death! Never give up even to death!"

The Zhuyue sword flashed like thunder and lightning, and Tangtang sternly issued an order:

"Let the second prince Feng Mingyuan be the regent of the country and temporarily take over the affairs of the court."

"General Jiang Kai, Queen Changling of the Allied Qi State, Lord Pingyang, and Prince Di Guoheng are the top generals; Generals Chen and Li of the Xuanwu Army are the left and right generals."

"The rest of the people will be promoted to one level each. I hope that all of you will work together as one and never give back until we are broken!"

The three armies were full of momentum and shouted in unison: "If we don't break it, we won't pay it back! If we don't break it, we won't return it! If we don't break it, we won't return it!"

Tangtang waved the knife again: "Go to war——"

In an instant, the horns of expedition from all directions resounded throughout the world, "Woo, woo——"

"Qingyun Fire Dragon" fired artillery again, sending the three armies to break camp and set off.

Navy warships and pontoon bridges set up on the coast sent countless soldiers out of the Twelve Prefectures, and the shore was filled with officials and people from the Twelve Prefectures.

They held torches in the drizzle and shouted loudly, "Guard the beams" and "Never return them until they are broken."

Leaving the twelve states and entering the vast ocean.

When we landed again, the rain became heavier and heavier, the road was muddy and difficult to navigate, and the marching speed slowed down.

The officials of Qin Tianjian predicted that the rain would stop in two days. Going further into the Rong Kingdom, there would be snow on the grassland, making the journey even more difficult.

Tangtang thought for a while and ordered the three armies to camp on the spot and be prepared to withstand the wind and snow. After two days, the rain stopped and they could continue their journey.

She also sent someone to send a secret message to Aslan, asking him to ensure that the road ahead was clear.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to set up camp, she sneaked back to the capital with Feng Mingyuan.

When we arrived at the government hall, the sun was rising, and the ministers were discussing the government affairs impassionedly. The empress was not there, and the Lord Protector was presiding over the discussion.

Just look at the Protector who has just recovered from a serious illness. His gray beard is poking out with anger, and his whole body is shaking like a fallen leaf in the cold wind.

After listening for a while, Feng Mingyuan said softly: "We haven't seen each other for only a few months, but Councilor Xie is already so old."

"Standing upright in the court, chatting with the scholars, without any fear. If I hadn't known that he was young, Brother Chen would have thought that he had been in high and low officialdom for many years."

Tangtang shook her head proudly: "That's right, brother Jingyun looks weak, but he is actually very powerful. Tangtang's senior brothers and sisters are all among the best."

Feng Mingyuan sighed meaningfully: "My brother is praising Mr. Xie, but your Majesty feels the same way. Does it mean that your Majesty has special regard for Mr. Xie?"

As the most intelligent empress in the world, Tangtang decided not to take up this topic:

"The favor that second brother talks about and the favor that Tangtang thinks of are not the same at all. Second brother, don't fool me, I am already a huge Tangtang."

Feng Mingyuan couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, Your Majesty has grown up and it's hard to lie to him."

"That's natural."

Tangtang pushed him gently: "Second brother, go quickly. I'm going back soon. I will take good care of Sister Wuci."

Feng Mingyuan's ears turned red and he muttered softly: "I don't know who is taking care of whom."

Tangtang pursed her lips and crossed her fingers with dissatisfaction: "Second brother hasn't even gotten married yet, and his elbows are turned outward."

"Then, the princess will take good care of me, my sister-in-law, in the future. Is that okay?"

Feng Mingyuan coughed lightly: "...Your Majesty, please come back. Brother Chen is going to discuss matters."

Tangtang followed behind with a smile and reminded: "Second brother, don't be shy, be careful where you step, and look at the threshold——"

Before he finished speaking, Feng Mingyuan fell headlong into the Council Hall.

Tangtang, who had done something bad, grabbed Yan Gui, turned around and ran away: "Brother, let's go quickly, don't get discovered."

This trip was confidential. When she left the camp, she took Yan Gui with her. In order to hide her identity, Yan Gui wore a ghost mask.

At this time, he was being dragged around, and the eyes behind the mask were gentle and helpless:

"Run slower. At this time, all the palaces are doing sweeps and practicing kung fu, and there are not many people around."

Tangtang turned back: "How does brother know?"

Yan Gui suddenly realized something and his eyes flickered: "Brother, hasn't he lived here for a long time?"

"Yeah?"

Tangtang stopped running, turned around and approached him step by step:

"After Tangtang became the Crown Princess, she asked everyone to get up early to practice. My brother hasn't come back to live in these years. Why does he know so well?"

Yan Gui: "...because I..."

Tangtang pushed him against the wall. She was not tall enough but had the momentum to match. She stood on tiptoes and glared at him: "Be honest."

Yan Gui leaned against the wall and shrank: "...Sister, look behind you, is it the Empress Dowager who is coming?"

Tangtang rolled her eyes and shook her fingers: "Brother, you don't understand Tangtang too well. You didn't need this trick when Tangtang was three years old..."

She was feeling proud when she heard a gentle voice behind her: "Xiao Qi is back?"

"..."

It's the Queen Mother's voice!

It turns out it’s all true!

The whole candy turned bad in an instant. She didn't even turn her face away, but just laughed and said for a long time: "Yes, yes, what a coincidence, Auntie the Queen Mother, I just came back."

She covered her face, turned around, kicked Yan Gui, and complained softly: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
