The city of Andong is complete, the officers and soldiers are orderly, and people are coming and going. As a fortress connecting the three roads with the capital, it has restored its former prosperity.

Recently, the Xiang family was going to hold a happy event, which stirred up excitement throughout Andong City.

Although this happy event does not sound very festive, a young daughter marries a son who died young and becomes a widow after the marriage.

But no one laughed at her, because the names of the two parties involved in the marriage were that she was the daughter of the Jiedushi of the Southeast Road and the nephew of the heroic general Xiang, the Jiedushi of the Longyou Road.

"This has a meaning that we cannot speculate on." The elders stopped the laughter of the young people in the family, "The marriage of this kind of family is not just about the love between a man and a woman."

Especially at this time, Ankang Mountain's Ande Zhong and his son were both dead, and Shi Chao, who proclaimed himself emperor, fled to Mobei, but the world was not at peace. The queen had just fought with Yanhaidao... Southeast Road...

What does it mean to be married to Longyou Dao?

The festive atmosphere in Anton City hides tension.

The atmosphere in the Xiang family was also very tense. Several masters of the Xiang family came in and out with angry faces, and the servants were cautious.

"That bitch Zhao Jin." Mr. Xiang Wu, who had been ill for a long time, got up from the bed because of the happy event of his deceased son. He stood in the room and cursed angrily, "He has the ability to dig up the ancestral graves of our Xiang family.

!”

Taking advantage of Xiang Bei's marriage to Qi Acheng, Xiang wanted to return to Taiyuan Mansion again, but was still rejected by Zhao Jin.

"There are more troops stationed outside Taiyuan Mansion." Mr. Xiang did not curse loudly, his face was solemn.

Mr. Xiang waved his hand and said: "The queen is also on guard and won't let us sneak into Taiyuan Mansion, so as not to damage her foundation."

Master Xiang Wu frowned anxiously and said, "What should we do? Can we go back?"

While talking inside, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and the doorkeeper's servant shouted "Miss Qi is here" to greet people inside, obviously not daring to stop anyone.

Several gentlemen turned to look and saw Qi Acheng striding over with his maid.

"Why haven't you set off yet?" she asked, "my father and the others are about to arrive."

Mr. Xiang Wu suppressed his temper and said kindly: "Zhao Jin is not allowed to enter. Didn't he just come back from an inquiry..."

Qi Acheng frowned: "Why are you still prying? We are not asking for permission to go back, we are going to fight back!"

Mr. Xiang Wu understood what she meant, but said: "There are many soldiers and horses in Hedong Road, and Zhao Jin has added more troops. We only have a few people..."

Qi Acheng sneered: "When the queen is declared guilty of stealing the country, everyone in the world will punish her. If she dares to resist, she will be a rebel. We have a small number of soldiers and horses, and we have great righteousness. Not to mention that thief Zhao Jin, how many people dare to stop him?"

?"

When the rebels did not fight, Zhao Jin surrendered.

The Marquis' troops arrived, and Zhao Jin surrendered immediately.

This kind of villain can surrender once or twice, and of course he can surrender a third time.

That's it, the Xiang family men thought thoughtfully. The truth is right, but they still feel that they are not cautious enough...

"As long as I'm here." Qi Acheng pressed his sword on his waist, "We can capture the Hedong Road with 30,000 troops with only 7,000 troops."

There was silence in the room, and several gentlemen looked at her with complicated expressions.

Qi Acheng was annoyed by their looks.

"I didn't fight last time." She said, "This time I will show you what I, Qia Cheng, am capable of."

Several gentlemen hurriedly waved their hands, "Calm down," "A Cheng, please calm down first."

Old Master Xiang coughed lightly: "What you said, Acheng, makes sense. We have stationed troops on Hedong Road. Even if we don't fight, it will be a great deterrent to them. At least it will prevent them from assisting the Marquis."

Qi Acheng didn't care about the words he didn't type, and she didn't count on these Xiang family men. Qi Acheng was enough for her when the war came.

She said directly: "I will go first with my troops."

Mr. Xiang stood up and was about to say something when there were footsteps outside.

"My lord, it's not good. We have sent troops to report that the Marquis has led his troops towards Anton!"

...

...

Anton City suddenly closed its city gates, and soldiers and horses were scattered on the city walls in a fighting posture. This caused the people in the city to gather and anxiously ask what happened, but no one gave them an answer.

There can't be any rebels calling at this time, right?

The sentries were rushing past on the street, and the people did not dare to stop them, but watched them more nervously.

"The Marquis walks very slowly. Once he sets up camp, he will stay there for four or five days."

"It's still far away from our Anton."

The letter did not comfort the gentlemen in the hall, but only asked: "Is Anton really coming to us?"

"Yes." Xin Bing said, "There is news from the capital that the queen will come to attend the wedding in person."

Mr. Xiang sneered: "Bringing 30,000 troops and horses to attend the wedding?"

I don’t even believe in ghosts.

She clearly came to besiege the city.

The hall was noisy again.

"Just come." Qi Acheng stood up and said, his eyes bright, "We will fight."

I can finally meet this legendary queen, and I want to fight her to see how powerful she is!

"Don't be ridiculous!" Mr. Xiang Wu scolded, "She came to attend the wedding, and you went to fight her. Wouldn't it be a warning?"

Yes, her father hasn't declared Qing Junzi yet, so she can't fight.

Qi Acheng's eyes brightened and he said: "Welcome her in and control her in our hands."

Mr. Xiang said helplessly: "Miss, we have 30,000 soldiers and horses. Whoever comes in will control whom?"

How courageous! Qi Acheng frowned: "How will you know if you don't try?"

"The queen has bad intentions when she comes." Mr. Xiang said solemnly, "We will neither fight nor welcome you."

Their small number of soldiers and horses are vulnerable to the Queen, but...

"The important thing here is not soldiers and horses, but the people."

Andong City is a city with tens of thousands of people.

This was the main force to deal with the Marquis and the safest guarantee for the Xiang clan, so he did not follow Qi Shan's suggestion and went to wait outside Taiyuan Mansion.

"Strengthen the walls and clear the country to prepare for war, and wait for news from Qi Governor Yun'er and others."

...

...

Xiang Yun already knew.

The queen came out of the capital with great fanfare and did not conceal her whereabouts at all.

"It's admirable that she dared to leave the capital." Xiang Yundao said, turning to look at Jiang You, "I thought she wanted to guard the young emperor at all times."

Jiang Youdao: "She has many soldiers and horses, and she prides herself on being fearless. She doesn't care about the hatred of the court officials and the Queen Mother towards her."

Xiang Yun smiled and asked, "Have the arrangements been made in the capital?"

Although he fled the capital, he still left some men in the capital, and two adults, Wu and Zheng, lived in the capital court and endured the humiliation.

Jiang You nodded and worried: "The Queen must have noticed something and went to Anton to threaten her. I'm afraid the people in Anton City don't know what to do."

Beating him means sending him to death.

To welcome him in is also to welcome him to death.

How can this be good?

Jiang Youneng thought of the panic and confusion of Anton Chengxiang's family.

Xiang Yun said: "It's easy to handle, let's first..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a commotion in front of him, and soldiers and horses came galloping towards him. At a glance, he saw the flying flag with the Chinese character "Li".

"Captain," Jiang You whispered, "Li Mingyu is here."

Xiang Yun looked over and saw that Li Mingyu was already in front. The young man had grown a little taller, jumped off his horse and walked towards Xiang Yun quickly.

The surrounding soldiers were on guard, but Li Mingyu seemed not to notice it. Before Xiang Yun's soldiers could stop him, he stopped and shouted "Uncle Xiang!" He was about to kneel on one knee...

"Get up quickly." Xiang Yun said.

The soldiers on guard on both sides stopped Li Mingyu and helped him up.

"Uncle Xiang." Li Mingyu said with an aggrieved look on his face, "I have never dared to say it. I have never encountered such a thing..."

As he spoke, he looked around and rushed towards the carriage where Han Xu was sitting.

Xiang Yun shouted "No!" Li Mingyu was already in front of Han Xu's car, and the guards rushed to stop him. Fortunately, Li Mingyu just looked at Han Xu sitting inside.

"Master Han!" he shouted, his eyes red, "Why did you do such a thing!"

Han Xu looked at him blankly, without asking, retorting or speaking.
