When the convoy of the North Palace left Anping City, some people in the Palace were actually a little nervous. They were worried that the cavalry outside Anping City was actually the barbarian cavalry.

However, after they left the city gate, they found that the cavalry were still on guard and did not do anything to the palace's convoy. Only then did people feel relieved.

At this time, a carriage in the convoy opened its curtain, and Lin Wanyun and Chen Wanrong took a serious look at the black armored heavy cavalry through the window.

Seeing that the leader of the army was a master, Chen Wanrong's eyebrows slightly raised.

At this time, Lin Wanyun said: "These people do not look like barbarians, but they also do not look like Daxia's heavy cavalry."

Chen Wanrong didn't speak, and she naturally discovered this.

There are some differences between the barbarians and the Daxia people, which can be easily distinguished.

The soldiers of this cavalry look very much like Daxia people at first glance, but Daxia does not seem to have heavy cavalry with black standard armor.

Daxia's heavy cavalry used silver armor, not black, so these heavy cavalry were probably not Daxia's heavy cavalry.

This is strange.

The five thousand heavy cavalry were neither barbarians nor Daxia, so where did they come from?

Could the King of the North conjure an army out of thin air?

Lin Wanyun once again made a bold guess, "Could these cavalry come from other dynasties?"

Since they are not from Daxia, nor from the barbarians, and even less likely from Beijun, there is only one last possibility. These cavalry are foreign aid invited by the North King from other dynasties!

Chen Wanrong said softly at this time: "Aunt Lin, there are barbarians to the north, Dayue to the west, Daxia to the south, and the sea to the east."

Chen Wanrong did not directly deny Lin Wanyun's guess, but her words clearly reminded Lin Wanyun that her guess was unlikely.

First of all, apart from Daxia, the Dayue Dynasty, the only dynasty that relied on Beijun, did not have heavy cavalry. They themselves were extremely poor. Even if they had heavy cavalry, they would not be able to lend it to Beijun. If this cavalry was really brought by the North King from other If it is borrowed by the dynasty, it must go through Daxia or Dayue.

A heavy cavalry of five thousand people will attract people's attention when passing through any dynasty.

These are heavy cavalry with full armor, not 5,000 ordinary soldiers. Once the heavy cavalry is released on the road, soon the surrounding countries or dynasties will know that you have mobilized heavy cavalry.

It's impossible for the King of the North to quietly transport this heavy cavalry to Beijun from the sea, right?

At this moment, the leader of the black cavalry suddenly left the cavalry formation and headed straight for the convoy.

Seeing this scene, Lin Wanyun suddenly became nervous.

The leader of this cavalry looks very unusual. He seems to be a fierce soldier who came out of the underworld. The evil aura on his body is very strong. I don't know how many people have been killed to have such a strong evil aura.

Fortunately, the grandmaster-level commander did not come to their car, but to the carriage belonging to Princess Mu Zixuan.

Xuanyuan Chen came to the front and rear of Mu Zixuan's carriage, immediately got off the horse, squatted down and said, "General Xuanyuan Chen pays homage to the princess!"

Mu Zixuan, who was looking out through the car window, saw this scene and immediately said: "General Xuanyuan, please get up quickly!"

At this time, the people in the carriage in front and behind Mu Zixuan opened the curtains, slightly stretched their heads out of the window, and looked towards Mu Zixuan.

Xuanyuan Chen said "Thank you, Princess" and got up from the ground.

Mu Zixuan asked curiously at this time: "General Xuanyuan, I heard that the prince led Beijun soldiers to kill 200,000 barbarian soldiers. Is this true?"

Xuanyuan Chen immediately replied: "Back to Princess, this matter is absolutely true."

"Not only that, we also captured 100,000 barbarian soldiers."

Hearing Xuanyuan Chen's answer, Chu Qingli, who had been expressionless in a certain carriage, couldn't help but frown.

Judging from Xuanyuan Chen's attitude towards Mu Zixuan, it seems that this Xuanyuan Chen is really a general under the Northern King?

Even if the barbarians want to trick Princess Bei into going north, now that the convoy of Princess Bei has left the city, there is no need for them to continue the show.

And this seems to be a master-level general.

Chu Qingli could feel the evil aura and overwhelming warrior aura on his body.

Does a master-level barbarian general need to act in front of Princess Bei?

"Barbarian warriors" usually do not kneel down to women. This is common sense that even Daxia people know.

But just now Xuanyuan Chen half-knelt down in front of Mu Zixuan, which proved that Xuanyuan Chen was probably not a barbarian general.

Chu Qingli's heart was half cold.

Originally, she was ready to run away with her sister, but Xuanyuan Chen ran to the princess and knelt down on one knee.

Also surprised were Lin Wanyun and Chen Wanrong.

The moment Xuanyuan Chen half-kneeled to Princess Bei, it showed that this heavy cavalry was the heavy cavalry of the North Palace, otherwise the general would not have been able to half-kneel to Princess Bei.

"In this era", generally only soldiers who particularly recognized the hostess would half-kneel in front of the hostess.

To put it simply, if Xuanyuan Chen only recognized the Northern King, he did not need to kneel to Mu Zixuan. When other generals of Daxia met Mu Zixuan, they also did not need to kneel to Mu Zixuan and only needed to bow to him. That's it.

His salute was, to a certain extent, like saying, "I see Princess Bei as if I were seeing King Bei."

At this time, Chen Wanrong murmured: "It seems that the entire Great Xia has been deceived by King Bei."

Lin Wanyun said worriedly: "Palace Master, we should leave Beijun directly. King Bei is not a weakling. He must have seen that we have ulterior motives in approaching him."

King Bei secretly accumulated such a huge amount of power, which showed that he was very scheming. How could such a person not see that Xuanyue Palace had a purpose in approaching him.

If Bei Wang found out that Xuanyue Palace wanted to control him with love Gu, I'm afraid Bei Wang would be detrimental to them.

Chen Wanrong said at this time: "When people have desires, they can control it better. He secretly accumulated such a huge power, it must be for his position in the capital."

"Xuanyue Palace should help him at this time."

Lin Wanyun instantly understood what Chen Wanrong meant. Chen Wanrong wanted to treat Lu Chen as a puppet, and then fight to the death with Emperor Xia. In the end, they and Xuanyue Palace would reap the benefits.

Chen Wanrong's idea is very simple. Since King Bei has accumulated such a huge power, he should control King Bei first, and then let King Bei and Emperor Xia fight to the death first.

And this also does not delay them from using Lu Chen to refine the Dragon Subduing Curse.

Originally, Lu Chen only had the value of refining the Dragon Curse, but now Lu Chen's value in Chen Wanrong's heart has risen to a new level.

After hearing Chen Wanrong's words, Lin Wanyun sighed in her heart and said nothing more.

At this time, the team continued to move forward.

Daxia Dynasty.

Beijing, Xuanzheng Hall.

Today, as usual, Emperor Xia was furious in the court again.

"After checking for so long, we haven't found even a trace of an assassin. What use do I need from your Criminal Department!!!"

Hearing Emperor Xia's roar, all the officials in the Ministry of Punishment shivered and did not dare to take a breath.

Originally, Emperor Xia only gave the Criminal Department a few days to investigate the bloodbath in the Eighth Prince's residence. However, after a few days passed, they had no news about the assassins. Who knew who was smart later, and found someone from the Blood Moon Tower? The assassin came to take the blame, saying that the assassin from Xueyue Tower had a grudge against the eighth prince, so he wanted to assassinate the eighth prince.

But how could Emperor Xia be so easily deceived? Soon Emperor Xia got the news that the owner of the Blood Moon Tower had long since died in Beijun. Although he didn't know how he died, the Blood Moon Tower in the capital had existed in name only.

This is obviously because the Ministry of Punishment did not find the real assassin, so it pulled Xueyuelou out to take the blame.

Later, Emperor Xia dealt with a group of officials from the Ministry of Justice and gave them some time to continue the investigation.

As a result, there is still no trace.

Officials from the Ministry of Punishment all knew that King Bei and the Eighth Prince had conflicts, but King Bei was a loser. They couldn't put the blame on King Bei. If they did, they would probably make Emperor Xia even more angry. .

At this moment, Zuo Xiang Lin Gaoyuan said bravely: "Your Majesty, it is important to find the assassin who assassinated the Eighth Prince, but the most important thing right now is the situation in the North."

Lin Gaoyuan was more concerned about the situation in the North than anyone in the court. After all, it was his son who led the troops on the expedition.

After hearing Lin Gaoyuan's reminder, Emperor Xia calmed down and then said to the people from the Criminal Department: "I will give you three more days. If you still can't find anything, you can consider the consequences yourself."

Having said this, Emperor Xia was about to sit down when suddenly the voice of a soldier came from outside the Xuanzheng Hall.

"Great victory in the North!!!"

Hearing this, the ministers in the Xuanzheng Palace were stunned.

A great victory?

Can there be a great victory at this time?

With the imperial court's 70,000 soldiers, plus the few old, weak, sick and disabled people in Beijun, it would be pretty good to be able to defend Beijun.

How could there be a great victory?

At a glance, it was obvious that the generals on the front line were forging victory reports in order to lie about their military exploits.

When they thought that the man leading the troops northward was the son of Left Prime Minister Lin Gaoyuan, everyone from the Right Prime Minister Zhao Wenhan's faction swallowed their saliva, moistened their throats, and immediately prepared to impeach Lin Xiuming for forging the victory report.

However, when the Hong Ling Messenger entered the hall, the words of the Hong Ling Messenger immediately silenced the entire court and fell into a deathly silence.

After the red silk messenger entered the Xuanzheng Hall, he immediately knelt down, held up the battle report with both hands, and shouted with all his strength: "Your Majesty, the King of the North led the soldiers of Beijun to fight bravely, killing 200,000 barbarian soldiers and capturing 100,000 barbarian soldiers!"

As soon as these words came out, it was like a bombshell, and the whole court exploded instantly.

All the ministers were stunned.

They have seen fake battle reports, but they have never seen such fake battle reports!

Kill two hundred thousand barbarians?

What a joke!

With just the few soldiers in Beijun, it is already quite good to be able to withstand the barbarian attack.

And killed two hundred thousand barbarian soldiers?

Two hundred thousand people were slaughtered by barbarians, which is not bad!

Who wrote this battle report?

This is not a battle report. It must have written all the ten clans on it!

I updated 8,000 words yesterday, but I didn’t get a single five-star review. It hurts my heart so much.
