General Feng Kun who was guarding the border in Dali was beheaded by Li Qingxuan in his Chinese army camp. When Feng Kun's deputy general Liu Yujiang returned to the capital to plead guilty and brought this news back to the capital, the entire Dali court was shocked. .
With the rapid rise of Dali in recent years, it seems that it has the intention to surpass Daxia.
As a veteran general with great achievements in Dali, Feng Kun has an unparalleled status both in the army and in the court.
Now he was actually beheaded, and he was still in his own Chinese army camp.
The entire Dali court was stunned, followed by endless anger.
"It's a shame, it's a huge shame. My general from Dali was beheaded. How can this bring any face to the court?"
In the Royal Palace, inside the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests.
The little emperor, who had always been just a decoration, couldn't help but slap the dragon case loudly.
The ministers in Da Li below all lowered their heads and looked ugly.
Feng Kun was half a teacher of the little emperor and had taught him the art of war.
Although the young emperor did not personally govern, he was still the emperor of the current dynasty and the most noble person in Dali. When he got angry, it still made people frightened.
"Your Majesty, I have sent someone to inform Mr. Third. I believe Mr. Three will be here soon. Mr. Third has White Deer Academy behind him. They must have a way to avenge General Feng."
The old man who spoke was Chun Yuqiu, the cabinet chief of Dali.
He is also from Bailu Academy and is the representative figure of Bailu Academy in the court.
When he heard that Mr. Third had been invited, even the little emperor's expression eased slightly.
But there was still resentment: "Mr. San was patting his chest and promising that now that General Feng is dead, he will bear the main responsibility."
"Your Majesty, the specific situation has not yet been clarified. What happened in the death of General Feng will not be known until General Liu Yujiang enters the palace and inquires in person."
Although the news of Feng Kun's murder has come, Liu Yujiang has not yet had time to be summoned by the emperor. Now everyone only knows the result, but not the specific process.
"Then why don't you tell Liu Yujiang to come in quickly?"
The little emperor snorted coldly.
While the atmosphere in the hall was solemn, the shrill voice of the young eunuch came from outside.
"The Empress Dowager has arrived."
The ministers hurriedly stood up straight.
Even the little emperor came to the door to greet him.
I saw two maids walking in with an elegant woman on their hands.
The Empress Dowager Dali was in her thirties, wearing light-colored clothes, and her charm was still there.
Her black hair was tied into a bun, her face was very fair, and the years had not left her with any wrinkles.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Queen Mother of Dali is at her most charming age.
But when she walked in, no one in the study dared to look directly at the Queen Mother's face.
The little emperor saluted hurriedly.
"I've met my mother."
"I've met the Queen Mother."
All the ministers also handed over their hands.
The Queen Mother nodded slightly, her expression a little ugly.
With the emperor's support, he sat down on the main seat.
As soon as he sat down, he snorted coldly: "Have you all heard about the old general Feng Kun?"
"I can be killed in my own Chinese army camp. If word spreads, others will just think that I am far away from anyone."
The Queen Mother became angry and the whole hall fell into silence.
At this time, a little eunuch came in.
"Your Majesty the Queen Mother, Marquis Changxin is outside asking for an audience."
"Let him in."
Upon hearing that the third gentleman had arrived, many people in the venue breathed a sigh of relief.
Mr. Third strode in, and after paying homage to the Emperor and Queen Mother, his face became a little ugly.
"Now that everyone is here, let's bring Liu Yujiang up and ask him to tell the Ai family and all the loved ones what happened at the border."
After a while, General Liu, who had changed into court uniform, strode in.
As soon as he entered the door, he knelt there and cried bitterly: "The last general deserves to die. I failed to protect General Feng, causing him to die at the hands of the enemy."
"Okay, okay, tell me what happened at that time."
The Queen Mother interrupted impatiently.
Including the little emperor, everyone in the hall pricked up their ears.
They only got the news that Feng Kun was killed in the Chinese army's tent, and the specific situation was not clear.
"Yes, Queen Mother."
Liu Yujiang wiped the cold sweat from his head, stood up, and said in a low voice: "General Yang Ren of Great Xia said that he wanted to meet with General Feng and introduce a big shot of Great Xia to General Feng, and General Feng agreed. "
"Unexpectedly, in the camp, I learned that the other party was actually the King You of Daxia."
"General Feng is sure to be in the Chinese army camp in Dali, and King You will never dare to take action."
"Then I told him that I, Dali, would never give them a city. Who knew that King You would kill General Feng Kun without hesitation, and also said..."
"What else can you say?"
Seeing the other party vomiting all the words, Queen Mother Dali's voice became stern.
"He also said that if Dali refuses to hand over the city, King You will personally come to the imperial capital and take the Queen Mother abducted to Daxia as a guest..."
"What?"
The faces of everyone present changed wildly, with anger in their eyes.
"Presumptuous, simply too arrogant."
There was an uproar in the hall.
The Queen Mother's face was even more ashen as water.
"Since General Feng was killed, what did the 100,000 troops do? They actually let King You leave."
The Queen Mother asked with a cold expression.
"Yes, with an army of one hundred thousand, even a tenth-grade master cannot escape."
"How did he escape? Were you afraid that you would lose your life, so you asked the soldiers to let King You go?"
The ministers began to criticize Liu Yujiang.
Liu Yujiang waved his hand hurriedly.
"How dare I let the enemy go just to save my own life? My lords, please don't talk nonsense."
If you let the enemy go privately, you will be beheaded.
"Since you are not cowardly and fearful of death and let him go, then tell me how Li Qingxuan escaped from the 100,000-strong army?"
Mr. Third also asked.
Everyone also became quiet, which was also a strange thing in their hearts.
Since King You killed Feng Kun in the Chinese army camp, it is logically impossible to escape.
Liu Yujiang couldn't help but reveal deep fear in his eyes when he thought of that scene.
"At that time, after Li Qingxuan killed someone, he rushed out of the tent and broke the formation with his sword. The general took over the command and commanded an army of 100,000 to surround him."
"Who would have thought that every time Li Qingxuan swung his sword, hundreds of heads would fall to the ground. It's really terrifying for a tenth-level warrior." When Liu Yujiang said this, he swallowed.
"But even if he can kill hundreds of people with one sword, his true energy cannot be endless." Mr. San questioned.
"Yes, the general thought so at the time. Who would have expected that Li Qingxuan suddenly broke out and killed more than 3,000 knights with one sword, tearing open the battle formation."
"Immediately afterwards, the two subordinates around him took action at the same time to expand the results of the battle."
"All our soldiers and horses were intimidated by Li Qingxuan's sword and retreated. We could only watch helplessly as they broke through and left."
