.Chapter 764

The meeting with the Empress Dowager was very smooth. Chu Yuan's performance made the Empress Dowager personally appointed Chu Yuan to replace Xiao Tong, and made a sincere promise to Chu Yuan that after the crown prince ascended the throne and became emperor, Chu Yuan would never let Chu Yuan down today's efforts. After hearing this, Chu Yuan was overjoyed for a while, and no one would think that he was a small official. What's more, the real demon situation is not yet determined, so who doesn't want to leave a way out for himself. He immediately cried and said that he would do his job well and asked the Empress Dowager to rest assured. When he returned to his residence, Chu Yuan, who was excited, made an exception and drank a few drinks to celebrate. But Chu Yuan didn't know that his every move was now under the control of Li Linqi and others. After learning about Chu Yuan's performance when he returned to his residence, Li Linqi smiled and said to Liu Qiang beside him: "Okay, that boy Chu Yuan doesn't have to worry for the time being."

"Don't be careless. That Chu Yuan might have done it on purpose for us to see." Liu Qiang reminded him.

"…Did that Chu Yuan already see our intention?"

"I don't know, but now it's a very important time, so it's better to be careful."

"...You are right. Then I will stare at him in the next few days. Thank you for your hard work to leave here." Li Linqi said to Liu Qiang after thinking about it.

Liu Qiang nodded and replied, "Don't worry, I understand. When we receive Tongtong's message, we will start to take action."

"Well, I don't know if Xiao Tong will be smooth?"

"I hope it will go well."

Three days later...

The border army of Fengyang Empire and the True Demon Empire blocked the Dragon Pass

As the chief general of the Dragon Prison Pass, Yang Jianong, he encountered the biggest problem in his life these days. Did he send troops to Baishui Town of the True Demon Empire to meet the royal family members of the True Demon Empire according to what the woman said. If the woman did not hold the Feng Yang Ling, which represents the identity of Emperor Feng Yang, Yang Jianong would have someone to bomb the woman out long ago. However, this woman is so dying that she happened to have such a token. Yang Jianong was puzzled, how did Feng Yang Ling, who represents the identity of Emperor Feng Yang, run to the hands of the royal family of the True Demon Empire? It is said that His Majesty the Emperor always does unexpected things, but you can't be so out of line.

No matter how depressed he was, as an excellent officer of Feng Yang's army, obeying orders was the first rule that every Feng Yang army must abide by. Seeing Feng Yang's order, Yang Jianong was not only worried about it, but all he could do was to delay time and throw this difficult problem to his immediate boss. Deer Ella, the Western Military Region of Feng Yang, got a headache.

Like the previous two days, Yang Jianong thought of a way to deal with Xiao Tong who came to urge him to send troops. Looking at Yang Jianong who was smiling at him, Xiao Tong felt powerful and had nowhere to do it. If it weren't for the request of others now, Xiao Tong would have the idea of ​​stabbing Yang Jianong to death with a sword. Just talking about not doing anything means that someone like Yang Jianong in front of him is.

"General Yang, when do you need to prepare to send troops?" Xiao Tong asked Yang Jianong patiently.

"It's soon, it's soon." Yang Jianong replied with a smile on his face.

"Two days ago, General Yang said this, yesterday, General Yang said this, and today, General Yang said this? General Yang, is Feng Yang's quality just like this?" Xiao Tong asked with a dark face. If Li Linqi or Liu Qiang were present, he knew that this was the sign that Xiao Tong would get angry.

Before Yang Jianong could speak, a burst of laughter suddenly came from outside the door, "Hahahaha, you asked well, Yang Jianong, you are so arrogant, Feng Yangjun's reputation has been defeated."

Yang Jianong waited for this and not only did not angry, but instead showed a happy expression, as if the savior who had been waiting for finally arrived. He rushed to the door at a speed that Xiao Tong couldn't believe, salute him and shouted: "I will meet the Admiral."

"No gift." The visitor waved to Yang Jianong, walked to Xiao Tong and asked, "Are you the one who came to ask for help with Feng Yangling?"

"That's right. I wonder if you are?" Xiao Tong answered at the visitor.

"It's a disadvantage that Yang Western Military Region Military Admiral Dier Ella. Don't blame this guy for not sending troops. It's really your identity that makes him dare not make decisions without authorization." Dier pointed to Yang Jianong beside him and said to Xiao Tong.

Xiao Tong asked after hearing this, "I wonder if the Admiral can make the decision?"

"Of course I can. Yang Jianong obeyed the order, and I ordered you to prepare your troops and horses to go to the real demon immediately with Miss Xiao. Remember, even if you lose your life, you will take the Empress Dowager back to me without any harm."

"Ah?... I obey the order." Yang Jianong was stunned when he heard this. Seeing Dier glaring at him, he quickly replied.

"Well, you can prepare now."

Jianon agreed and turned around and went out to assemble the troops.

A quarter of an hour later, Yang Jianong came in to report that the three thousand cavalry had already assembled and could set off at any time. When Xiao Tong heard this, he couldn't help but sarcastically: "General Yang, you are now very quick to consolidate your army."

"Hehe... Please forgive me for Miss Xiao." Yang Jianong apologized with a smile.

As the saying goes, Yang Jianong lowered his posture, and Xiao Tong didn't want to say anything else. Besides, I hope they will work hard at that time, so naturally I can't say anything more about offending Yang Jianong. Dier, who was standing by, smiled and said, "Okay, it's not too late. General Yang, please accompany Miss Xiao and go back quickly. Remember to bring back our Fengyang's Empress Dowager."

"Yes? We are Feng Yang?" Yang Jianong agreed and reacted.

"Yes, we are Feng Yang. Now the real demon queen is our grandmother." Dier nodded solemnly.

A sentence made the gossip fire in Yang Jianong's heart burn, and he said to himself: "Wow, the Emperor's Ancestor is really OK."

"Yang Jianong, your expression betrays your heart." Dier looked at Yang Jianong with dissatisfaction and said. Yang Jianong was shocked when he heard this and smiled embarrassedly. Dier shook his head helplessly, "Anyway, you can know this yourself, don't tell others."

"Yes, I will remember it." Yang Jianong replied respectfully.

Sanqian Qingqi followed Yang Jianong and Xiao Tong out of the Prison Dragon Pass like a gust of wind and headed straight to Baishui Town in the real demon territory. In order to achieve unexpected results, under Yang Jianong's command, Sanqian Qingqi lies out at night and sneaks to the meeting place that Xiao Tong and Li Linqi discussed. Along the way, Xiao Tong opened his eyes. Feng Yangjun's orders and prohibitions made Xiao Tong unable to help but compare them with his subordinates, which made her disappointed. Whether it was personal quality or overall cooperation, the people under her subordinates were at a disadvantage. It was not a big mistake for Xiao Tong's men to be unsuccessful. The real demons suddenly changed. The elite domestic soldiers either accompanied the emperor Xiao Fengzhen to sacrifice their country in the battle of Jin Luo, or were in the hands of the imperial generals like Yang Qianli in the empire. When they arrived at Xiao Tong, they were just some shrimp soldiers and crab generals.

Just as Xiao Tong was about to go back and find an opportunity to train his subordinates, Li Linqi and Liu Qiang in Baishui Town had already received a letter sent by Xiao Tong to send him back. After receiving the letter, the big stone that had been hanging in Li Linqi and Liu Qiang's hearts was considered to be left behind. When Li Linqi learned that there were now three thousand Fengyang Light Cavalry hidden outside the town, Li Linqi couldn't help but feel more at ease.

"No further ado, I will go to see the Empress Dowager and ask them to be prepared to leave at any time. Qiang, you can also prepare, don't wait until you leave, and seize the time to clean up some tails that should be dealt with." Li Linqi stood up and said to Liu Qiang.

Liu Qiang nodded, walked to Li Linqi to tidy up the messy collar for Li Linqi and said, "Well, be careful, if I have me here, there will be no trouble. But Chu Yuan, have you figured out a way to deal with him?"

"Don't worry, I don't need to think of a solution. The Empress Dowager has an idea."

"...I never understand why you put Chu Yuan in Tongtong's position. Didn't this find yourself a spy that can expose yourself at any time?" Liu Qiang asked in confusion.

"Haha... I guessed you would ask this. In fact, it is necessary to do this. In your opinion, after Xiao Tong left Baishui, will the position she left behind be targeted by those interested people? Instead of arranging someone we are not familiar with, it is better to hand him over to Chu Yuan, who has been seen through by us."

"Then why don't we leave Tongtong's position to someone we can trust?" Liu Qiang asked again.

"If you really do the defense work like an iron barrel, would you say people like Chu Yuan be honest? Give them a position that can monitor us, and we can use this position that will attract their attention, and then do something that you don't want them to see."

When he arrived at the residence of the Empress Dowager, Li Linqi handed the letter written by Xiao Tong to the Empress Dowager Xiao Chuo. Xiao Chuo was also a little surprised that Feng Yangjun could come so quickly, but this surprise was fleeting. After collecting the letter, Xiao Chuo asked Li Linqi: "Linqi, do you have any plans?"

Hearing the Empress Dowager's inquiry, Li Linqi quickly stood up and replied: "I have a way to answer the Empress Dowager's words."

"Oh, let's hear it."

"Yes, I plan this way..."

After listening to Li Linqi's plan, Xiao Chuo nodded and said, "The plan is pretty good, but I want to ask you one thing, what do you plan to deal with that person Chu Yuan?"

"I wonder what the Empress Dowager means?"

"Everyone flew away when the disaster is coming, forget it, let him spare his life." The Empress Dowager said after thinking about it.

"Yes, since the Empress Dowager decided to spare his life, then I'll find an excuse to send him away when the plan is implemented."

"Yes, let's leave it to you."

After discussing the matter, Li Linqi got up and prepared to say goodbye. Xiao Chuo called Li Linqi and asked, "Linqi, after going to Fengyang, do you have any plans?"

Li Linqi was stunned by the question of the Empress Dowager. Yes, after going to Fengyang, the crown prince would surrender to Emperor Fengyang, and he would lose the goal he wanted to protect and learn a lot of skills. Is it just rotten in his stomach?

"Don't you know?" Li Linqi shook her head and replied.

Xiao Chuo smiled slightly when he heard this, "When Feng Yang arrives, you, Liu Qiang and others go and have fun. I believe that with my old face, he will give you a chance to prove your own learning."

"This... the Empress Dowager, can I consider it?"

"...Okay, it's really a bit early to talk about this now. Let's wait until it's safe before discussing this."

When Li Linqi left, Xiao Chuo smiled bitterly and said to himself: "I am old and I can't hide the trouble in my heart."

Li Linqi, who returned to her residence, seemed a little worried. Liu Qiang looked around and asked with concern: "What's wrong? What did the Empress Dowager tell you? Did she disagree with leaving?"

"No. The Empress Dowager agreed to our plan, but before I left, the Empress Dowager said something to me, which made me a little confused."

"What did the Empress Dowager tell you?" Liu Qiang asked curiously.

"The Empress Dowager told me that when we arrive at Fengyang, we will surrender to Emperor Fengyang and work under Emperor Fengyang. Qiang, is it a bit inappropriate for you to actively send the Crown Prince to Fengyang?" Li Linqi looked at Liu Qiang and asked.

Liu Qiang looked at Li Linqi for a while, sighed and asked, "Linqi, according to you, if we stayed in the real demon, is it possible for the crown prince to successfully ascend the throne in the future?"

Li Linqi shook her head and replied, "No. Now we want no one, no money, and continue to stay with the real demon. The crown prince may even survive."

"Will it be over? Going to Fengyang now is the only way for us to let the crown prince live in this world. At least after receiving Fengyang's protection, the crown prince can grow up safely. But Fengyang's emperor is not a fool, how could he take care of an imperial crown prince who may become Fengyang's strong enemy in the future? Even if he is willing, the resourceful ministers under his command will not be willing. After Fengyang, only by giving up his current identity can the crown prince be recognized by Fengyang. The reason why the Empress Dowager said that to you may be to recruit you for his grandson, but more likely is to tell you that after Fengyang, you will no longer be a retainer of the true demon royal family, and you need to walk the future path yourself."

After hearing Liu Qiang's explanation, Li Linqi's heart, which was originally a little horny, suddenly became clear, "Qian Er, what do you mean is the Empress Dowager for my own good?"

"Of course, otherwise why should the Empress Dowager say this to you? She really hopes that you will be well in the future."

"Well, after listening to you, I feel much more comfortable. Qiang, how are you preparing for what you told you?" Li Linqi asked Liu Qiang.

"Since Tongtong left Baishui Town, I have been preparing secretly. Now I have received the accurate letter from Tongtong, and we can take action at any time."

"Okay, then let's start acting tomorrow."

"good."

The next morning, Chu Yuan was about to go out when he was blocked by the person sent by Li Linqi to deliver the letter.

"What did you say? Your master asked me to take people to the north of the city?" Chu Yuan asked as he looked at the person who came to deliver the letter.

"Yes, my master told the villain this way. Lord Chu, this is the letter my master asked me to give you." The visitor said and took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Chu Yuan.

Chu Yuan took the letter and opened it in front of the visitor and looked at it. The letter did say that Li Linqi asked Chu Yuan to take people to the north of the city to receive the imperial powerful people who learned that the Empress Dowager was here and came to pay homage to him.

Chu Yuan did not doubt that he had him, so he put away the letter and said to the visitor: "Okay, I already know the matter. When you go back and report to your master, you will say that Chu Yuan knows it. Then take someone to the north of the city to pick up people, please rest assured."

"Yes, the villain took his leave."

When he arrived at the north of the city, Chu Yuan was waiting at the city gate for the powerful people who came to visit the Empress Dowager as mentioned in Li Linqi's letter. Suddenly, he saw a subordinate who was sent to stare at the four city gates and ran over with a look of anxiety.

"What's the matter? The sky hasn't collapsed yet." Chu Yuan scolded his subordinates with some displeasure. But when he heard his subordinates' report, Chu Yuan suddenly felt that the sky had fallen. Almost as soon as he brought people to the north of the city, Li Linqi and others protected the Empress Dowager and his party out of Baishui Town from the south of the city.

"Damn it, follow me," Chu Yuan cursed inwardly, and ordered loudly to his subordinates. When things reached this point, Chu Yuan had instinctively felt that the letter Li Linqi wrote to him was obviously trying to support him. As for why he wanted to support him, there was only one explanation. Li Linqi and the others had already noticed the strange atmosphere in Baishui Town, and they wanted to run away. However, Chu Yuan's future fell on the Empress Dowager and his party. How could Chu Yuan let the Empress Dowager and the others run so easily? He immediately clicked his own people in the army and rode a fast horse to chase out of the south gate.

After chasing for a long time, Chu Yuan finally saw Li Linqi and his group driving forward.

"Stop the person in front of you quickly," Chu Yuan shouted loudly.

The moving team stopped as they said, and Li Linqi, who was in front of the team, rushed over. When he saw Chu Yuan, he couldn't help but ask strangely: "Chu Yuan, don't you go to the north of the city to welcome the empire powerful people who came to pay homage to the Empress Dowager, what are you doing here?"

When Chu Yuan saw Li Linqi's confused look on his face, he couldn't help but wonder and asked tentatively: "Linqi, where are you going to take the Empress Dowager and the others?"

"Ah? There is no Taihun. Didn't I say that there are imperial powers who are coming to pay homage to Taihun today? Taihun is still in the city. The queen and the crown prince are sitting in the carriage."

"Oh, where are the queen and the crown prince going?" Chu Yuan couldn't help but ask strangely.

"Hey~ Chu Yuan, I don't hide it from you. I don't know who told the prince that hunting was interesting. I'm right in the morning when the prince was trying to go hunting outside the city. I thought about taking the prince around outside the city and going back. Who would have thought that you brought people to chase him. Could something happen in the city?"

Chu Yuan quickly defended himself: "No, no. When I was waiting in the north of the city, I heard people passing by saying that the Empress Dowager's car had left the city, and he thought someone had kidnapped the Empress Dowager. It turned out that it was just a false alarm."

"Oh, that's it. Now the matter has been clear. Chu Yuan, you should hurry back to Baishui. Remember, the empire's powerful people who are visiting today have a high position and power. You must be careful to receive them and don't offend the other party, otherwise I will not be able to protect you."

"Success, thank you for your reminder, Chu Yuan has recorded it."
