"What's going on? What's the surging light outside the hall?" Qi Diaole saw this scene after waking up from the couch: people outside the hall were filled with noises and fires soaring into the sky. He hurriedly jumped out of the bed and ran towards the hall gate while shouting for the eunuch. Naturally, no one responded. When he opened the hall gate, he understood.

Outside the Yingfeng Hall, it has become a battlefield. Those who are wearing brown military uniforms are their own people. As for those who are wearing blue armor, they are Liang Jun! How is it possible? The Liang Dynasty has been beaten by him and has no power to fight back. How could it suddenly appear in the imperial city?

Qi Diao Lezheng was half surprised and half afraid. He suddenly looked back and saw a man standing among the chaotic army. No matter how bloody the battles around him were, her clothes were not stained with blood. She stood alone as clear as if she was untainted. She was graceful and elegant. Who was she? Qi Diao Lezheng felt that this woman looked familiar, but she just couldn't see her appearance clearly. Whenever Qi Diao Lezheng took a step forward, the woman would take a step back accordingly and always keep this distance.

In this way, Qi Diao Lezheng was attracted by the woman and unconsciously stepped down the steps of Yingfeng Hall and walked into the battle formation. He seemed to hear something in his ears. He saw his subordinates shouting at him, but he couldn't hear it clearly, everything was hazy. Qi Diao Lezheng ignored these people. He wanted to find out the identity of the woman. This time he accelerated his pace. The surprise was that he found that the woman did not retreat again but stood there and seemed to be waiting for his arrival.

"Are you?" Qi Diaole was about to see the woman's appearance clearly. At the same time, he felt a chill in his neck. Then he felt the sky spinning and constantly whirling. Finally, he paused and saw a person who was exactly the same as himself, wearing the same clothes and the same body, but this person had no head. This person is me? It's me!

Ah! Qi Diao Le Zheng sat up from the bed in fright, and then he felt that his clothes were wet, and beads of sweat dripping on his face fell on the mattress. Then he saw that there was no sound around the bedroom, and there was no fire. Some of the previous ones were just dreams, really dreams. Qi Diao Le Zheng was a little scared and stroked his neck with his hands, but fortunately his head was still there.

Qi Diao Le no longer felt sleepy, but opened the window and saw that it was still early in the night outside, and a feeling of loneliness began to spread all over his body. At this time, he would miss her very much. If she could be with him at this time, the cold feeling of this feeling would definitely fade a lot. Unfortunately, she would never appear again.

"Ying'er... Are you okay? Are you still blaming me?"

Qi Diao Lezheng sat alone in front of the window until the morning glow was spreading all over the sky. Until the door of the hall was gently pushed open, a woman in Luoshi walked into the hall lightly and found that no one on the couch immediately had a look of panic on her face. After searching around, she saw Qi Diao Lezheng standing at the window, and then she felt relieved.

"King, why did you get up so early?"

The woman's voice was soft. Although she did not have Zhuo Lingyi's whistle and oriole singing, she was far better than an ordinary woman. When she looked at her, Qi Diaole always had an illusion, Ying'er was still alive. They were really too similar. If they had to tell me the difference, it was her temperament. She was much gentler than Ying'er.

"The situation was now taking a sharp turn for the worse. Unfavorable news came from both the army of water and land. Do you think I can sleep?"

“The world has never been changed forever

The situation is like this, and the hearts of the people are like this."

Qi Diao Lezheng always felt that Yan Luo Hari had something to say. The morning court was coming, and he didn't have time to make a living, so he had Yan Luo changing clothes for himself. Seeing her busy work around him, Qi Diao Lezheng really believed her words. There was no unchanging thing, and the trough might not be without a turning point.

This optimistic sentiment from Yan Luo was brought to the main hall. With the ministers' requests, the optimism disappeared without a trace. The navy was defeated, and Yongwujia still has no news. The only hope is Wu Weijiao, who has penetrated into the heart of the Liang Dynasty. But who knew that all I heard of the battle reports of the city losing one by one over the past few days. At first, Qi Diao Le Zheng was unwilling to believe it. He knew that many people in the court were jealous of Wu Weijiao and had no chance to impeach him. Qi Diao Le Zheng was too determined to bear it. He firmly believed that Wu Weijiao would not disappoint him.

Facts have proved that the higher the expectations for someone, the greater the loss of harvest. Qi Diaole is the case now. The battle report mentioned that the Wu army and the Liang army were fighting for Qingzhou City, and the outcome was unpredictable. Qingzhou is the last outer city of the Sixteen Central Plains states. Qingzhou fell into the hands of the Liang army, and a closed front that started from Bingzhou in the east and went west to Annan was formed. The Mo army completely cut off the ties with the Tang Dynasty, and the cities they currently occupy became enclaves.

"Xiao Xiang, what do you think?"

Dugu Ju, who had been burying his head, looked up in a panic and looked at Qi Diao Le Zheng's eyes like an eagle-like falcon, and couldn't help but tremble all over. If it were the past, he would never have been so embarrassed. After all, he was the little prime minister of the Tang court, but only a few people. Who would have to be afraid of him when the civil and military officials saw him? But who could blame him? Dugu Ju thought that he could make a lot of military merits and return to reward him, but the dignified Tang Shushi was defeated. Even the commander was already in danger of life and death. He was lucky to save his life and return to Tang by heaven.

"Reporting to the Khan, the battle in Qingzhou must have been done with both sides. Both sides knew what this city meant. The subordinates thought that the Khan could appropriately increase troops to Qingzhou to assist Lord Tuorong."

"Increase troops? Assist?" Qi Diao Le Zheng actually smiled, but the smile was really ugly. He asked back: "Xiao Xiang, do you know what happened to us in Tang these days?"

Dugu Ju's face immediately became gloomy. He glanced at his colleagues around him with his own eyes, like a wooden man, trying hard to recall anything he had heard after returning to China. It seemed that no one had a direct relationship with the new military camp in Qingzhou. Dugu Ju did not dare to delay King Khan's question, so he had to shake his head.

"Then let me tell you! The alliance we formed with Xiliang has been completely invalidated. Xiliang not only did not help but also attacked behind his back. They attacked Chike City while we were fully attacking the Liang Dynasty!"

Dugu Ju's mind buzzed, and he finally realized how dangerous he would be. He was the one who helped Tang and Xiliang to cooperate. Later, when Xiliang turned against him, the Khan still expressed his belief in him. Now that Xiliang actually attacked Chike City, the blame on him could no longer be cleared.

"I think Xiaoxiang is very clear about the importance of Chichi City. Duzhou City has lost the sea path. Now Chichi City has changed hands and we have lost the last land path. How dare you ask Xiaoxiang what is your idea?"

Dugu Ju no longer dared to look at Qi Diao Lezheng's eyes. They were a pair of eyes that could eat people. As long as you look at it, you would lose a piece of meat.

At this time, Dugu Ju felt that half of his body was no longer conscious. He never expected that Xiliang was despicable and chose Chike City. In this way, Qingzhou became the last retreat for the Du army.

It is necessary to explain the location of Chichi City here. This small castle stands in the northwest of the border between Daliang and Xiatang. The north is Xiliang and the southwest is Dengzhou. It can be said to be the border of the Three Kingdoms. The strategic significance is self-evident. If the Wu army is defeated in Qingzhou, they will have the last chance to cross the hill to Chichi City and get back to Chichi City. But now Chichi City is in Xiliang's hands. The last retreat of the Wu army has been cut off.

"King Khan, I..."

"Xiao Xiang, I can trust your abilities. As for your loyalty..."

"King Khan, my subordinates are willing to go to Chike City in person to negotiate with Xiliang!"

"Very good, no further delay, let's set off today!"

After going down the court, Qi Diaole was gloomy and planned to go back to the bedroom directly. Last night, she was troubled by nightmare for half a night and worked all morning. Qi Diaole was really tired. Qi Diaole wanted to have a good rest, but as soon as she left the hall, she saw Zhuo Lingyi not far away. She gave a palace ceremony to Qi Diaole.

Qi Diaole immediately lost her sleepiness. He walked to Zhuo Lingyi and asked, "Is it rare to see you waiting for me today?"

"Please invite the queen of the film."

Qi Diaole raised his arm and said to the palace servant: "Showing the Mingluo Palace!"

Mingluo Palace is a different palace far away from the Imperial City of Xia Tang. If you want to go to the Imperial Palace, you must pass through the earliest King of Xia Tang - Sha Hua Youting. Of course, it is now a scorched earth. When Qi Diao Le Zheng's sedan chair passed by, his eyes closed directly. No one knew more about what happened here than him. He was thinking about how to deal with the Queen's words later.

After passing Shahua Youting, the sedan chair has been moving forward for a long time. After passing a not-high mountain, you can see a whole purple bamboo forest. This was transplanted from the beam. The purple bamboo forest has never appeared on the land of Xia Tang. After so many years of careful cultivation, the originally short and slender purple bamboo forest is already lush and lush, covering the sky and the sun. Mingluo Palace is located deep in this purple bamboo forest. This palace is composed of three small palaces, each of which is deliberately made into an oval shape, connected by a bamboo bridge to form a triangle. From a distance, it looks like bamboo shoots. There is a deep pool in the middle of the triangle.

The sedan chair stopped at the entrance of the purple bamboo forest. Qi Diaole was getting off the sedan chair and chasing Zhuo Lingyi slowly walked into the forest. Along the way, you could hear the birds singing echoing in the bamboo forest. The closer you were to the spring water of Mingluo Palace, the clearer the sound.

When I got closer, I found that there was a spring in the deep pool in the middle of the triangle near the bamboo forest, and clear springs kept gushing out from it, and the sound of the spring water came from here. It is precisely because of the living water that the water in this pool is particularly clear and moving. Walking in the path, listening to the birds singing in your ears and looking green in your eyes, it is very suitable for meditation.

Qi Diaole followed Zhuo Lingyi upstairs, and what came towards him was a two-door door. Rather than a palace, it was a common stilt house in Nanzhao. It was filled with the atmosphere of life everywhere and there was no majesty of the palace at all, but it was named such a domineering name.

The two palace servants guarding outside the palace gate immediately knelt down to pay their respects when they saw Qi Diaole coming. Qi Diaole looked at them as if nothing had happened, and their eyes were always staring inside the palace.

"It's King Khan, please come in!" the voice of a young girl.
