Chapter 0433: Dragon Qi Moves West (Part 1)
Guancheng intercepted two thousand cavalry, while the Jiangdong army was still fighting fiercely... but the main force of Yuzhou gradually returned to the camp.
Only one Red Armored Cavalry was left to monitor the Jiangdong Army with a few sorcerers, treating the Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jian as a free laborer.
Damn it! "Seeing the army slowly retreat, Yu Fan couldn't help but turn pale and his teeth bleed from several bites.
On the way back with the Chinese army, the carriage broke down and she could only ride a horse. The Empress Dowager sat sideways on the saddle, her body actually a little sore and weak, trying to straighten her waist and maintain her royal dignity in front of the soldiers passing by along the way.
However, the reverent and courteous gazes made her feel a bit intoxicated, as if she had returned to the years of the past.
Recalling the unpleasant expression on Marquis Wucheng's face just now, the Empress Dowager couldn't help but show a hint of laughter, with a hint of joy and satisfaction in her heart
I used to have some authority myself.
Poor me for two years of hanging a curtain and serving as a regent, holding my breath and feeling humiliated everywhere, even to the point of being destitute and almost dying. Apart from Dong Zhuo, these local separatist lords have also made significant contributions. Tonight, I killed and suppressed them, finally venting my evil breath.
It feels really good to have someone behind me
Tonight, I experienced too many changes. I used the power of the Imperial Seal to pass down the country. My body seemed to have been drained, full of fatigue, but my spirit was active. Every trace condensed the essence, and endless emotions came to my heart.
The evening breeze of summer night blew towards us, carrying the coolness of the southern mountains. The laughter of the Empress Dowager was faint and silent, mixed with the footsteps of the army marching and the sound of armor and weapons colliding. It couldn't be transmitted at all, and only a few maidservants paid attention at all times. When they heard this subtle sound, they dared not speak and secretly cast their gaze.
The Empress Dowager suddenly regained her senses from her thoughts, withdrew her smile, and sat calmly.
Maintaining a sense of distance in the palace is a bit different when leaving. Even in the most desperate situations, she educates her daughter to stand up straight and maintain the dignity of a Han princess... Without this, the orphan daughter and mother would have nothing left in this chaotic world.
My mind gradually became calm until the army returned to camp, and I turned back to my tent on the hill. After taking a shower, I waved my hand to dismiss the maid, turned off the light, and lay on the bed. When there was no one around in the darkness, she turned around and held the quilt, thinking quietly alone.
This place is only 150 miles away from Luoyang
From Luoyang to Xuchang, on the abandoned and rugged Qin Zheng ancient road, they fled in disarray. From Xuchang to Wancheng, they returned to their childhood memories of their hometown. The strange dream of the emperor riding a cow in the Southern Capital Palace that night, they returned from Wancheng and walked a life and death circle in a short time.
Recalling the chaos in the palace that night, the cup of poisoned wine brought in is still vivid in my mind, and I still feel like I'm in a dream. Did I really survive?
Touching the seal box, delicate and cold, with a faint smell of blood floating in the air, it was carried by oneself. Even after bathing with newly produced soap, there was still a residue... or an illusion.
She was too tired to fall asleep like this.
I slept until late at night when I suddenly woke up from a nightmare. I sat up and looked on the couch, only to breathe a sigh of relief when I saw that I was inside the tent.
Without shouting 'maid', I slightly opened the tent and saw the dim night, the wind blowing gently, and no signs of summer. The first few dozen steps were the guard camp.
At this moment, the moon's shadow is slanting westward, illuminating the mountains and rivers. With the wind, one can see a river rising and falling from afar. From a distance, one can see the scenery of mountains, water features, fields, and trees
She couldn't help but sigh deeply. The country was like this, which was originally under the control of her son. Thinking of this, a sudden sadness came from her heart, and two tears fell.
For a long time, looking at the seal box that was opened at an unknown time, I remembered the raging fire in my dream.
Just now, that was... "murmured the voice, gradually fading away. Holding the jade seal, one could still feel it burning, and the lingering memory of the raging fire seemed to remind them.
After a moment of confusion, she officially put on her outer clothes and went out. The cold mountain breeze penetrated her body, making her whole body shiver and wake up.
At the top is a deep blue night sky, serene, profound, vast, with countless scattered stars, shining and magnificent.
A Milky Way hangs diagonally in the southwest, connecting the dome above and the mountains below, slowly shifting, watching the thousands of years of turmoil in the human world and the ups and downs of clan fortunes.
The Great Han has changed a lot in the four hundred years, but some things have not changed... "The Empress Dowager looked at it again and gave a bitter smile." It's like Su Wu shepherding the North Sea without changing the Han Festival, which is admired by history, regardless of gender
Hugging tightly in my arms, the imperial jade seal of the country shines brightly, with a broken and shattered corner adorned with exotic gold, and threads of moonlight and starlight converge and pour down.
The Empress Dowager has become accustomed to this kind of vision, but the occasional burning sensation is somewhat unusual. She speculates on the raging fire in her dream just now... In her memory, the last Empress Dowager of the Former Han Dynasty, Wang Huan, died in the sea of fire, right?
Wang Huan is the eldest daughter of Wang Mang. She married Emperor Hanping at the age of thirteen and was Empress Xiaoping. She received strict education from her pseudo gentleman father and was gentle, quiet, and virtuous, but this was also easy to control.
Two years later, Emperor Ping fell ill and Wang Mang prayed to Haotian to die in his place in order to gain reputation. However, he secretly ordered someone to poison Emperor Ping of Han and replaced him with a young emperor.
At the age of fifteen, Wang Huan was promoted to the position of Empress Dowager according to etiquette and law. Wang Mang succeeded to the throne through abdication, and Wang Huan locked herself in the old palace, declaring illness and refusing to attend court
But a new problem has arisen: despite being a daughter, she is actually an elder of Wang Mang in terms of etiquette and law, resulting in the bizarre situation of having a daughter as a mother.
Wang Mang felt embarrassed and demoted the Empress Dowager to the title of "Lord of the Yellow Royal Family", forcing her to remarry. He chose a handsome aristocratic family to "visit him", but Wang Huan drove him away. From then on, he became a widow at the age of eighteen.
When the chaotic soldiers executed Wang Mang, set fire to the Weiyang Palace, and the officials and concubines fled, Wang Huan refused to leave the old palace. She sighed and said, "What face do you have to see the Han family?" She ran into the sea of fire and died at the age of 28
Liu Yaojun said that this jade seal has spirit and is not an ordinary thing. Has it ever recorded that sea of fire? "The Empress Dowager thought, feeling that the night breeze had become colder, and her heart was slightly uneasy. It seemed to touch something, but she couldn't figure it out clearly... What was it telling herself?
For a moment, I lost sleep and held the jade seal nearby, frowning and pondering. At this moment, several closely guarded female sorcerers who had already been alert exchanged a glance and silently followed.
They are reliable sorcerers selected from the Ye family alliance, and as Earthlings, they may not have much reverence. However, a few hours ago, a golden light sealed a ten mile radius was spread. When looking at the Empress Dowager again, her gaze gradually changed - in the world of cultivation where strength is respected, this woman's ability to use the Phoenix grid to wield national weapons is undoubtedly powerful and worthy of respect. Even if she can only use it once, it is enough to reverse the situation of the war.
The military camp is strictly guarded, with trenches and walls set up to isolate each other for fire prevention and guard against camp noise. It is impossible to move freely beyond the border, but the 120000 strong army has a huge camping area, with the main camp located on a small hill and a spacious location.
Due to the rain a few days ago, the air in the forest is still fresh and humid, with waves of pine trees and winding mountain roads. The summer insects are chirping and undulating, and even the croaking and courtship sounds of frogs can be heard in the farmland area requisitioned below the mountain.
Along the way, the soldiers stood guard and patrolled, while the sorcerers took turns on duty. They did not stop the luxurious woman in red clothes and a hat, as long as the Empress Dowager did not leave the main camp area and took a walk on the hill
She didn't seem to have any intention of going down the mountain, walking and stopping. Sometimes when she rested, her gaze wandered for a moment and fell on the western mountains. She frowned and didn't know what she was thinking, then began to stroll again, gradually approaching the mountaintop
That must be the Imperial Jade Seal, right? "Many people on the ground first set their gaze on this national artifact, pondering that it was essentially the gathering of the Yin face of Yingzhou for 20000 years, with great power.
Outsiders watch the excitement, while experts watch the tricks. For ordinary Qi training warriors in the Ye family alliance, it is just spectacular, but the sorcerers are all awe inspiring in their hearts.
Ordered by heaven, with eternal longevity... There is such a domineering aura in this earthly world
This seal is blessed by the Heavenly Dao of the earth. We dare not even touch it to avoid being infiltrated by the Yin face for 20000 years. Even if the Lord has not transformed into a true dragon, we dare not hold it
After experiencing tonight's changes, everyone has become much clearer. There are also evil demons infiltrating the underworld, and ordinary people with high-end combat power cannot intervene. Only when the main lord and Qianqian are in their prime can they resist head-on and seal off the siege.
I don't know if the lord's injury has recovered, "some sorcerers looked back at the mountaintop, feeling a little worried.
The wind at the mountaintop was strong, and Ye Qing sat quietly on a large granite boulder in front of the main tent, watching the continuous lights under the dark mountains in the west, hidden in the shape of a city, tightly blocking the valley gap, and even the back wall spreading ten miles deep into the valley, with a long and difficult to attack depth
The difficulty of crossing mountains has always been natural, but human struggle is more dangerous and difficult than mountain terrain.
Why aren't you sleeping yet? "Qianqian found him, added a coat to him, and supported his shoulder." The battle is not something that happens in a day or two. If your spiritual power is still weak, don't come out to blow the wind. You're not the real person of Lingchi
Ye Qing held her hand and felt that her aura was as strong as ever. Looking back, she smiled at her and said, "You dare to show off your superiority in front of your husband
Where is it? "Qianqian stared at him seriously for a while, but got nothing. She muttered discontentedly," Another topic has been changed. Tonight... huh
Her gaze shifted from her husband to the west, as if sensing some change.
I can only feel some small streams changing under the cover of clouds and mist. I can feel the slow and clear changes, but I can't see them clearly.
What happened? "Qianqian couldn't help but ask in surprise.
After a moment of silence, Ye Qing said, "There is urgent news from Diaochan. The imperial carriage will depart early and move westward. The ceremonial vessels will be loaded onto the vehicles, and the officials will accompany them. Dawn is about to set off
Although we call him a pseudo emperor, he is still a member of the royal family and ascended to the throne in the Luoyang court. He has a bit of dragon energy in him, and with this move, there is a change
In an instant, Ye Qing had a new understanding of qi.
Luoyang is the imperial capital, and the dragon energy of the Great Han Dynasty used to be pale yellow. However, when it gathered in the imperial capital of Luoyang, it became a green stream. This light return inherits the final vitality of the true dragon.
Although struggling desperately to survive, it is the key to achieving true dragon oneself.
Qianqian exclaimed nervously after hearing these words, "Didn't we only relocate 100000 people these past few days? The official road to Chang'an is crowded with people, cars, and horses. How could it be so fast
This must be Li Ru's strategy, "Ye Qing reminisced about history and stood up, hesitating with a gloomy expression, firmly saying," Dong Zhuo can't wait to evacuate all the people
