Chapter 439: Turbulence

(Thanks to the rewards from book friends such as Honor Dawn Knight. I still owe you all the updates and haven't paid them back. Today I promised to add another chapter, but I still have to owe them. I've been too busy during this period. After this period, I will definitely pay them back. There are two chapters in total, and I remember them in my heart.)

When Tian Lingzi stepped into the room with joy, Li Yan was leaning against the head of the bed, his face pale and bloodless. The queen was holding a bowl of medicine in her hand, and was carefully feeding him medicine one by one. Before swallowing a few mouthfuls, Li Yan coughed violently. The medicine he had just swallowed into his mouth spit out again, dipping the clothes and yellow stains everywhere on the quilt. The queen quickly took out a handkerchief and gently wiped Li Yan's lips.

Li Yan, who had already improved his condition, suddenly took a sharp turn for the worse after being frightened, and became more and more serious.

"Shizhong, what happened again?" Li Yan's voice was almost unheard.

"Your Majesty, good things, good things!" Tian Lingzi's teeth were now full of mouth, but only a few tines were left. The rest were all snatched by Hao Meng's elbow, and now he was speechless.

"Just just heard news that the General of the Left Wu Guard defeated Xue Xiong's troops in Le'an. Xue Xiong's light cavalry escaped, but he left behind a large number of infantry. These infantry were desperate and surrendered to General Qin. Now the General Qin led his troops to guard Le'an tightly, while General Li's troops 20,000 cavalry advanced all the way and had already captured Weizhou City. Now Zhu Youzhen's troops have been locked in the Zhaoyi area. These rebels have fled to Luzhou City and have been surrounded by the Hedong and Wuwei Army. They have been destroyed."

Listening to Tian Lingzi's words, a blush appeared on Li Yan's face, and his spirit was also energetic: "Okay, okay, Qin Zhao really did not disappoint me, General Li and Han Qi did not disappoint me either."

"Your Majesty, please rest with peace of mind. Although the rebels have been surrounded, it will take some time to capture Luzhou! You have to take good care of your health. During the general attack, you have to go on the battle to cheer with a strong morale!" The queen gently stroked Li Yan's chest and said softly.

"It's true, it's very true. I have to take the medicine bowl from the queen, tilted my head and drank it all.

"Your Majesty, let's sleep for a while. Now General Qin and Han Jiezhen are still busy. It will take some time to arrive at Huguan!" The queen said, helping Li Yan lie down.

Seeing Li Yan sleeping with a satisfied smile on his lips, the queen sighed, stood up, and walked out. Tian Lingzi quickly followed.

"Where is the way?" The queen asked with a heavy face when she arrived outside.

Tian Lingzi shook his head: "Empress, I have gone to worship and conveyed the sorrow of Your Majesty and the Empress, but, but..."

"Tell me!" The queen sat down and closed her eyes.

"Liu Ruyan is really unreasonable." Tian Lingzi stumbled, but he did not dare to speak out in the end.

"I thought my mind was blank and I couldn't remember anything. It was just a subconscious action. If only I had stopped His Majesty at that time, I would have liked to have it." The queen said helplessly.

"What is the saying of the Empress?" Tian Lingzi comforted: "The heaven, earth, the king, the elders, and the teachers who can die for Your Majesty is the glory of every minister. What does Liu Ruyan know, a little girl? General Li will not be like this, and he will definitely understand that the Empress has no choice under the critical situation at that time."

The queen was silent for a moment, "I'm afraid things are not as you think. Although Li Ze had a father, he was no different from not having a father since he was a child. He depended on his mother for life. This kind of affection is much deeper than we imagined. Why did Liu Ruyan have such an attitude? It's nothing more than knowing the importance of Mrs. Wang to General Li."

"Your Majesty and the Empress have always given more grace to Li, or after a while, everything will come back on track. Xue Ping has been there and tried his best to persuade him. Liu Ruyan is unreasonable, but Gongsun Changming's mind is still very clear." Tian Lingzi comforted carefully.

"I hope this is the case!" said the queen: "Shijun, you can send a message to Han Qi immediately. By the way, there is also the General of the Zuowu Guard, let them come to Huguan immediately."

"Empress, the General of the Zuowu Guard is pursuing the surrendered army in Le'an." Tian Lingzi suddenly saw the queen's grim face and immediately reacted, "I understand, and I will send someone to summon them to Huguan."

Tian Lingzi left in a hurry.

The queen closed her eyes tiredly.

If time could go back, she really hoped that at that moment, she would not push Mrs. Wang, but would personally stand in front of the emperor and get the knife for Mrs. Wang.

This matter was completely unconcealed. At that time, Liu Ruyan's personal girl Xiaochan was in the room, and Mrs. Wang's personal maid Xia Zhu.

They witnessed it all with their own eyes.

In a broad sense, it seems that even the ministers can't tell me about this. But the queen knew very well that today is different from the past. It doesn't matter if anyone dies. Even if it is her, the one who died shouldn't be Mrs. Wang.

She had sent Tian Lingzi and Xue Ping over to express her intention to mourn in front of Mrs. Wang's spirit, but Liu Ruyan refused without hesitation.

What made her even more frightened was that Liu Ruyan actually transferred the Qianniu Guard from Chen Bing of Shuanglong Mountain back to Huguan at the first time. When Xue Ping and others found something wrong, Qianniu Guard had already controlled the entire Huguan. Fortunately, there were some of Su Qun's troops and some Divine Swordsmen in the pass. But the queen knew very well that if Liu Ruyan wanted to do something at this time, these soldiers would be completely unable to stop Qianniu Guard.

Li Ze is coming soon.

There were more than 10,000 elite Wuwei cavalry members who came with him. What would happen to Li Ze once he knew the truth about Mrs. Wang’s death?

The queen's only hope now is that Qin Zhao and Han Qi will come quickly.

The emperor still does not know the truth of the matter, and the queen dares not tell the dying emperor about these things, for fear that he will die if he is stimulated.

If Li Ze's reaction was as intense as Liu Ruyan, what should she do?

What help can Qin Zhao and Han Qi give her?

Through Xue Ping, the queen has learned that this time Li Ze sent out more than 100,000 troops at one time, and this was done when he continued to confront Zhang Zhongwu in Pingzhou and other places, while Pinglu maintained military pressure on Hou Xiyi. This fully demonstrates that Li Ze's strength is far from comparable to Han Qi and Qin Zhao.

What's more, Han Qi's situation is extremely embarrassing now. In order to participate in the Battle of Zhaoyi and rescue the emperor, Han Qi almost came out in full swing. At this time, Zhang Jia, who was supported by Li Ze, maintained an aggressive attitude towards Taiyuan in Shuozhou.

Once both sides turn against each other, I am afraid that the emperor will not even have a place to live.

With a long sigh, the queen covered her face with her hands and buried her head deeply between the bends of her knees.

Tian Lingzi hurried out, found Xue Ping, and expressed the queen's meaning. After Xue Ping thought for a while, there was no other way. It seemed that this was the only way to relieve stress at present.

"Shizhong, you go and do this." Xue Ping thought for a while and said, "I am going to go out of the city to find Li Ze. I can't ask for the truth from Li Ze. I'm really uneasy."

"Are you going to leave the city?" Tian Lingzi was frightened. In the city, the only person who dared to confront Liu Ruyan was Xue Ping.

"Don't worry, although Liu Ruyan is domineering, she is not an ignorant person. And I have already transferred Li Hai back."

"Liu Ruyan promised to let Li Hai lead his troops into Huguan?" Tian Lingzi was both surprised and happy.

"Where is it!" Xue Ping shook his head and said, "The army cannot enter, but Li Hai himself can come in. With Li Hai as an escort, I will feel more at ease."

After saying this, Xue Pinggong bowed and said, "This time I have fought for this life. I will convince General Li to put the overall situation first and never be a little bitch."

Le'an, Qin Zhaozheng devoted himself to adapting the infantry left after Xue Xiong fled. For him, every bit of power is very precious now. Xue Xiong's troops are still very different from Xuanwu's army. After all, the influence of the Prince of Yanping Xue Song still exists today, and these soldiers are natives from Zhaoyi, so it is not difficult to adapt them.

But after receiving the letter sent by Tian Lingzi to 100,000 people, Qin Zhao was almost terrified and didn't care about anything for a moment. He left Jin Shiyong to continue reorganization in Le'an. He only brought 500 cavalrymen and ran to Huguan anxiously.

Almost at the same time, Han Qi in Changzhi also received news from Tian Lingzi to send people. Compared with Qin Zhao's urgentness, Han Qi was very upset.

"Cunzhong, do you think Li Ze will turn against each other this time?" Han Qi asked in a good mood. Over the past few months, his life has been really bad. Zhang Jia, who was once suppressed by him, turned over after receiving the support of Li Ze. His military strength has greatly enhanced, and he has put great pressure on Han Qi's old nest, Taiyuan, in Shuozhou. Although the Hedong Army marched smoothly in Zhaoyi, and Shitunliu and Changzhi, all of this was achieved under the mighty and powerful military strength. To put it bluntly, he was just an auxiliary. After the battle was over, the greatest contribution was naturally Li Ze's, and the richest fruit would naturally be Li Ze's. Zhaoyi will inevitably fall into Li Ze's hands. With Han Qi's current strength, he wants to take some territory from Li Ze's bowl, but I'm afraid he doesn't have to think about it.

But the current changes have brought him opportunities.

"No matter whether Li Ze turns against you or not, this is our opportunity." Li Cunzhong laughed and said, "Looking at the urgency of Tian Lingzi, Xue Ping and others, you can know the current situation in Huguan. Jieshuai, take this opportunity to join forces with Qin Zhao, Xue Ping, Qin Zhao will not say it for the time being, but Xue Ping is a key figure. Zhaoyi used to belong to the Xue family, and now the Xue family is still in Zhaoyi, and he still has great strength."

"The heroes have similar views!" Han Qi nodded repeatedly: "If we can unite with them and gain the support of the emperor, then even if we are actually weaker than Li Ze in terms of strength, we can still fight with him in terms of politics. As long as Li Ze does not completely turn against him and still want to be under the banner of the Tang Dynasty, then we will have a lot of room for movement."

"So, Jieshuai, do you need to go to Huguan right away?"
