Chapter 321 Mid-Autumn Hunting in the North
“The sudden appearance of a strange army...?”
Qin Lang rubbed the word [different] on the brocade handkerchief with his fingers. His eyes were sometimes solemn, sometimes confused, and sometimes glowing. His eyes were on the brocade handkerchief. The handkerchief, the ceiling, and the empress's scattered clothes were swept back and forth.
"Rebel, what are you looking at?"
The empress tugged at the collar of her dragon robe, and gently pressed the heavy weight on her chest with her jade arms. Although it was not that she had not shown it to him, But as the Ninth Five Emperor, I must still give him some shame.
"Ahem...I don't want to read it, I don't want to read it."
Qin Lang pretended to be a "loyal minister" and muttered a few words on purpose:
"It's the same when I go home and look at the silver vase anyway..."< br>
“?!”
A red light flashed, and Qin Lang felt pain in his waist instantly.
That was the invisible hand from the great empress.
Qin Lang also secretly complained that the majestic empress could use such powerful methods on her men at every turn, and when it came to specific actions, she still used the classic pinch-the-waist routine. Tsk, it was really...
...Hey, it’s so cute~
“You look like a rebel, what are you thinking about?”
“Huh? No.”
Qin Lang denied that he had a traitorous face, and approached the empress and said solemnly:
"Seriously, baby, what do you mean by this brocade handkerchief? What does the sudden rise of an army mean?"
"..."
The empress rolled her eyes at Qin Lang, twisted her waist, and tried to get out of his arm that was holding her, and then said "as it should be" "a weak woman" "You can't defeat a big man", "A little sheep can't escape a big bad wolf", Nuan Xiang's body leaned against Qin Lang's chest and softened, and sighed:
"This brocade handkerchief was sent by General Zhu from Mangzhou According to the person who sent the letter, it was received from our spies in Beili. The spies are dead. This brocade handkerchief was obviously something important that he learned before his death and finally reluctantly conveyed it. ...As for the meaning, I'm not sure... The words "Sudden Army Rise", I think, are probably some unusual military actions on Beili's side."
Qin Lang's expression was solemn, very serious, and even the frequency of a certain palm hidden in the empress's clothes slowed down:
"Is there any sign before receiving this brocade handkerchief?"
"No."
The empress frowned and thought:
"But precisely because there is no, I feel that there is something wrong."
"What do you mean?"
"How should I put it? It's the northern border. It has been a little...too peaceful in the past two years. The King of Zhenbei has not returned to Beijing for a long time, and the news sent back every year is... Those things that are fixed..."
"Oh."
Qin Lang understood directly:
"Are you worried that this is the calm before the storm?"
"According to the reports from Ting Yuxuan in the two northern states, that is, Mangzhou and Liangzhou, there is indeed nothing abnormal in the various places in Liangzhou, including the northern garrison, so I am not sure..."
Qin Lang said strangely:
“With your strength, baby, wouldn’t you find out if you take the time to go to the North and see for yourself?”
The Empress shook her head:
< br>“I would like to, but I can’t do it.”
"Can't do it?"
Qin Lang was startled. The empress was a person who could fly into the sky and escape from the earth. What does it mean that she couldn't do it even when she went to the north to see what was going on?
But then, Qin Lang also remembered that when the empress went to find the Tianhe Sect in the Shiwan Mountains of Yizhou, even though the empress was unparalleled, the Nangong Zhuo territory in the Shiwan Mountains would still be restricted. .
So is this also the case in the north?
Facing the doubts raised by Qin Lang, the empress gave a positive answer:
"Early before the death of the late emperor, that is, during the Zhaotong period, there was a great war in the northern border. The enemy and our armies once fought from the border to the mainland of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The battle line stretched across the two states of Liang and Mang..."
" ...In fact, in that battle, the two armies invested only a small amount of ordinary troops, but the destructive power caused was extraordinary. In the end, countless deep valleys and ravines were formed on the border between the two states..."
"...And after the war, Around these long ravines, the famous Ten Thousand Souls Forest, which now spans the two states, grew in an extremely strange way. Together with those ravines, they formed an extremely strange barrier, just like the Tianhe Sect's great formation, but compared to It is even more powerful, but the strength of all masters above the realm of Grandmaster will be suppressed by the Grandmaster, including me, so I have never been able to easily cross the border to detect anything..."
...
This was the first time Qin Lang heard such a story about the Northern Territory, and he was stunned for a moment: "Even if you are so powerful, baby, you are suppressed? Then... then the Ten Thousand Souls Forest in these two states has a lot of background, this How did this battle happen? Isn’t it a battle between heavenly soldiers?”
"There are no heavenly soldiers. The soldiers on both sides are elites. In terms of individual combat strength, they are at most similar to the so-called [martial arts master] level Jianghu people."
"Then how... "
"But there are no heavenly soldiers, there are heavenly generals."
"Heavenly generals?"
Qin Lang suddenly guessed something, and the shadow of Zhu Hongling flashed through his mind.
“In that battle, the main forces of both sides were actually the generals on both sides. Our side was General Zhu Yueshan, together with the twenty-eight lieutenants at the time, while the enemy had [ "Yimo...Jucilan..."
This is the name of the first Beili person Qin Lang has ever heard of. , a bit awkward to say, but that’s not the point:
“Did you just mean to say, that Yimo... fight against Zhu Yueshan and twenty-eight lieutenants alone?”
"Yes."
"So powerful? Compared with you, baby?"
"I don't know, at that time I..."
"Oh, that's right, hey, The baby was really a baby at that time~"
"..."
In fact, to be precise, the female emperor had not yet been born at that time.
However, the empress lying in the arms of the rebellious minister and traitor always felt softer and softer the longer she lay there. She couldn't muster up the energy to scold him, so she silently reached out and pinched his waist again: < br>
“The fierce battle between the generals on both sides created the natural barrier of the Ten Thousand Souls Forest in the northern border. In some sense, it also contributed to the truce between the two sides. Although our great Zhou Dynasty and even the previous dynasty were Internally, the conflict with Beili has still not been resolved, but the current truce has allowed the border people to finally recuperate and recuperate. Even normal trade between the two countries can be carried out on several channels between the two countries that can normally travel through the Ten Thousand Souls Forest. The exchanges are getting more and more prosperous, but I don’t know what is going on this time..."
"Do we need to investigate?"
"Of course"
"Isn't it easy?"
"It's not easy. Although trade on the border between the two countries is prosperous, they still maintain a high degree of vigilance against the other country's citizens. Many of the spies I placed there in the early years have now disappeared. , the person who sent the brocade handkerchief this time must have died in a foreign country. Of course, we have also uncovered several spies from Beili from time to time... However, if you want to go deeper and conduct some placement and investigation, there was actually one recently. Opportunity."
"What opportunity?"
"Mid-Autumn Hunting in the North"
Qin Lang said in his heart that the world is really big and he is still really young. He thought he had seen a lot since he went down to Tianshan Mountain, but now he found that there seemed to be many things that he had not explored.
“Every Mid-Autumn Festival, the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty goes north to hunt in Ten Thousand Souls Forest. This is a tradition passed down by the late emperor after the Great War in the North. This is the time when the forces of the Zhou Dynasty are closest to the Beili border every year, and it is also the time when the Northern Territory is the closest to the Northern Territory. When the alert level is at its highest..."
Qin Lang understood, but apart from secret military operations, Qin Lang was also very interested in his skills in hunting in the north.
"Baby, it will be a big event then, right?"
"Well, all the civil and military officials will be there, and..."
The empress's beautiful eyes looked helpless:
"There is still a competition..."
"What competition?"
"Hunting, I have been doing it since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty. With martial arts as the most important thing, Beishou can't live in every house casually. The ministers can just compete casually. I will also compete with her when the time comes..."
Her?
Qin Lang heard something was wrong:
“Who?”
“Of course it’s the regent, Bai Qingqing.”
