Chapter 1 Autumn Chrysanthemum Linghan

Sun Mei breathed a sigh of relief after planning to kill Cao Quanyu and Cao Yi. Soon, Huang Chao sent Lieutenant Zhao Zhang as an envoy to reward Sun Mei's three armies. Zhao Zhang escorted hundreds of elite soldiers to Niqiu Mountain.

Zhao Zhang and his entourage were warmly welcomed by Sun Mei. During the banquet, Zhao Zhang said, "Madam, it is really gratifying that you took decisive action this time to annihilate Cao Quanyu's elite soldiers and his son and made a world-class achievement for Daqi!"

Sun Mei listened and said silently, and the tears in the corners of her eyes fell unconsciously.

Zhao Zhang was very surprised and asked, "Madam, why are you sad after winning the battle?"

Lu Qi took over the words: "Captain Zhao didn't know anything. This time, he completely eliminated Cao Quanyu and Cao Yi's Li Tang ace army, and removed the big trouble for Daqi. But in the battle to encircle and annihilate Cao Quanxuan, Wang Ying, the son of his adoptive mother, was killed alive by Cao Quanxuan's iron whip! Attacking Cao Yi, Daqi defeated the two generals Li Chengyou and Zhang Sitai. In the two battles, more than 30,000 soldiers were damaged and paid a heavy price!"

Zhao Zhang listened, his eyes were wet, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Wang Yan, who sat next to Sun Mei, cried.

Wen Ying hurried to Sun Mei and Wang Yan and repeatedly advised them.

Shen Yunxiang's voice trembled: "The general is a great female hero. In Yunxiang's life, the most admirable heroine is the general! The general lost his lover and son for Daqi's career. This painful pain is difficult for ordinary people to understand!"

"Yes, the lady's image shines for thousands of years, and she is really loyal! This time, Your Majesty asked me to go to Qilu to learn the truth. When I go back, I will definitely tell your majesty that I must learn from the general! Learn from the general's subordinates!" Zhao Zhang clenched his fist and was impassioned.

"Thank you, Brother Zhao Zhang! Your Majesty and the generals from all over the world, please rest assured that Sun Mei can bear the pain of losing her son! I must lead the generals of Daqi to calm down Qilu as soon as possible and make contributions to Daqi. Even if blood is sprinkled on the battlefield and the horse leather shroud, there is no regrets!" Sun Mei looked firm and her voice echoed in the hall.

"Madam and generals, please take care of yourself. Now the war is tight everywhere. There is an emergency in Erjing. I want to go back as soon as possible to discuss the country with your majesty. Zhao Zhang said goodbye!"

After Zhao Zhang finished speaking, he arched his hand and got up and left his seat.

Sun Mei and the generals quickly left their seats to see Zhao Zhang off.

Sun Mei said, "Brother Zhao Zhang, you are now the captain of Daqi. You work very hard. You must pay attention to your health! By the way, how is the Chai Cun brother's health now?

Zhao Zhang said, "Brother Chai Cun, he--"

"What's wrong with him? Hurry up and say it!" Sun Mei urged.

Zhao Zhang had to harden his scalp: "Madam, the Chai Cun brothers are still being treated in their own house, and their condition has not improved for the time being. However, Your Majesty is looking for a new imperial doctor to study the best treatment plan. Please rest assured!"

Sun Mei knew that Zhao Zhang was comforting her by saying this. Sun Mei sighed and stared at Zhao Zhang: "Brother Zhao Zhang, if the military situation in Chang'an is urgent and your majesty is in danger, you must inform me as soon as possible so that I can raise my troops to escort you!"

"Zhao Zhang remember his wife's words!" Zhao Zhang replied.

"Brother Zhao Zhang, you brought a lot of labor and military supplies this time, and the generals of the three armies should not be very happy. You are leaving now. I am poor here, and I don't have anything good to give you. I'll give you some Qilu cakes! You take a few bites when you are hungry on the road. This Qilu cake tastes so delicious. You should take a few more bites, hehe!" Sun Mei smiled and became more and more heroic.

Zhao Zhang smiled and said, "Thank you for the cake! Zhao Zhang is gone. Take care, madam! Take care, everyone!"

After sending Zhao Zhang and his party away, Sun Mei and the generals returned to the cottage hall. After sitting down one after another, Sun Mei said, "To annihilate Cao's ace army, the elite of our army has also damaged a lot, and there is an urgent need to supplement. Please go back to your own combat area for development and leave tomorrow!"

Lu Qi looked confused: "Mother, we are all gone. What should you do? This siege and annihilation of Cao's ace army, your troops lost the most. Wen Ying and I must stay to protect you!"

"Silly boy, say stupid things! Don't worry, mom is very safe. I have Wang Yan around here. My noon mandarin duck sword is not vegetarian! This Niqiu Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack. I am here to develop great strength. There is absolutely no problem! I'm worried about the Qi army in other regions! Generals, carry out my orders immediately!" Sun Mei said loudly.

Sun Mei said this, and the generals had to leave the hall to rectify their military horses and prepare to go to their respective combat areas.

When Lu Qi and Wen Ying walked to the door of the cottage hall, Sun Mei shouted on the tiger chair: "Xiao Lu, Xiao Ying, stop, Mom has something to say!"

Lu Qi and Wen Ying quickly turned around and came to Sun Mei. Sun Mei stretched out their second hand, took Lu Qi and Wen Ying's hands respectively, and looked at them again and again.

After a long time, Sun Meifang said, "Xiao Lu, this time you go to develop Daqi's strength. There is a long way to go. I'm worried about it in Lunan! Mom gave you a weapon so that you can use it as a defensive weapon in an emergency.

After saying that, Sun Mei untied the scabbard from her waist and handed it to Lu Qi.

Lu Qi took the scabbard, gently pulled out the sword, fixed his eyes and couldn't help but be stunned.

It turns out that this sword is a relic of the king's eagle, and the world's famous sword is pure sword.

Lu Qi put his sword into the sheath, knelt down on his knees, held the scabbard secondhand, and handed it to Sun Mei: "Ded-in-law, this sword is a relic of the eagle brother. Xiao Lu can't accept it! Put it on you and you use it to protect yourself, so that Sister Ying and I can rest assured!"

Wen Ying said, "Mother-in-law, Xiao Lu said so, you'd better use it to defend yourself!"

Sun Mei listened and said anxiously, "Look at you husband and wife, you sing together. I gave this sword to Xiaolu, which naturally has my reason. Xiao Lu was good at making double hammers, and it was like entering a no man's land in the thousands of troops. But my mother thinks that Xiaolu is still young and is the successor of Daqi's career, so there can't be any mistakes! I gave Xiaolu the eagle's sword, that is, I put Xiaolu as my biological son and put it on Xiaolu, and my mother was relieved! If Xiao Lu doesn't take it, then my mother won't recognize you as a son!"

"Mom, Xiao Lu listened to you and put on this sword. He wants to kill all the corrupt officials and bullies in the world and fight a peaceful world!" Lu Qi's eyes were tearful and pointed to his heart with a sword.

"Well, this is just like Sun Mei's child! If you know under the eagle spring, you will be happy!" Sun Mei burst into tears as she spoke.

Lu Qi took the pure sword and walked out of the cottage hall step by step. Wen Ying followed Lu Qi and left Niqiu Mountain to develop Daqi's strength.

After Zhao Zhang returned to Chang'an, he immediately entered the palace to meet Huang Chao, the emperor of the Qi Dynasty, and described his trip to Qilu in detail.

After listening to Zhao Zhang's story, Huang Chao knew the news of Wang Ying's death. Huang Chao was very sad and burst into tears.

For a long time, Huang Chao said in a low voice, "Brother Zhao Zhang, you go to Qilu and go all the way back to your house to rest!" The Daqi Military Conference will be held in Hanyuan Hall tomorrow. You must come and attend!"

Zhao Zhang nodded: "Your Majesty, the brother went back to his house to rest!"

After Zhao Zhang left, Jian Xia walked to Huang Chao and saw that Huang Chao looked melancholy. Jian Xia did not dare to ask questions, so she gently retreated.

But Huang Chao heard the familiar footsteps and looked back. Jian Xia had retreated to the door. Huang Chao waved with his hand: "Princess, why are you leaving?"

Jian Xia quickly stopped: "Your Majesty, I saw that your majesty was worried and dared not ask questions, so I quietly withdrew. I hope your majesty will forgive you!"

Huang Chao sighed softly: "My concubine is as careful as a hair, intelligent, and I appreciate it very much. My concubine is right. Recently, I have been depressed because of a lot of state affairs, so I have such a look. Don't misunderstand!"

Jian Xia walked to Huang Chao and gently leaned on Huang Chao's shoulder. The warbler said, "Your Majesty is a great hero from China. My concubine is lucky to meet your majesty and be loved by your majesty. The wish of this life is enough! When I saw your majesty working for state affairs day and night, I saw that I was losing weight. I was anxious and hated my ability, and I couldn't share my majesty's worries!"

After Jian Xia finished speaking, tears burst out and she became more and more beautiful.

Huang Chao gently stroked Jian Xia's beautiful hair: "My concubine deeply felt lonely and relieved a lot. It's not fun to be stuck in the palace all the time. I have always loved chrysanthemums. Now that autumn chrysanthemums are in full bloom, why don't you accompany me to the countryside to enjoy chrysanthemums?

"My concubine is ordered to obey your majesty. Whatever your majesty likes, I will try my best to learn anything. Your Majesty loves chrysanthemum, and the concubine also loves chrysanthemum!" Jian Xia flashed her beautiful eyes.

"My concubine is understanding, and I'm so happy! By the way, my concubine, today I went to the countryside to enjoy the chrysanthemums. I only took a few soldiers out of the palace and felt the natural wild interest of nature!" Huang Chao laughed.

"It's the happiest to be so unrestrained!" Jian Xia looked excited.

Huang Chao did what he said. He immediately changed his dragon robe, changed into a merchant's costume, called a few soldiers, and rode away from the palace with Jian Xia to the eastern suburbs of Chang'an.

Huang Chao and Jian Xia and his entourage came to the eastern suburbs of Chang'an. Huang Chao raised his eyes and looked into the distance, but he saw that the water was sparkling, the water and grass were lush, and the fish were faintly visible. The trees on the shore of Bashui are lush and extremely beautiful. A gust of autumn wind blew, and the yellow nest clothes fluttered, feeling refreshed.

The yellow nest beat the horse and whip by the water. The yellow horse seemed to be human, turned his palms and brightened his hoofs, and ran happily. Huang Chao carefully searched for the strange flowers and plants on the shore and praised them while watching.

Suddenly, Huang Chao grabbed the horse's reins, turned over and got off the horse, stood by a bush, and looked at it carefully.

Jian Xia and her soldiers disarmed one after another and gathered around the yellow nest.

"Please look, my concubine, I found **! There are so many ** here! It's so beautiful!" Huang Chao can't suppress his excitement.

Jan Xia's face turned red, unfolded her phoenix eyes, followed the direction of Huang Chao's finger, and took a closer look. Hey, she really saw a large area**! That ** is brilliant and beautiful in this wilderness!

**In the rustling wind, he is arrogant and swaying frequently, as if welcoming distinguished guests from afar!

Huang Chao muttered to himself: "In autumn, the weather is as cold as a day. At this time, hundreds of flowers are lurking. Only a few flowers such as ** and plum blossoms are not afraid of the cold and are alone. They despise nature's destruction of flowers and are full of fearless fighting spirit. Qiu Ju Linghan is like the heroes of Daqi who despise the persecution of reactionary forces! For the sake of peace and beauty in the world, the generals of Daqi should learn the fighting spirit of Qiu Ju!"

Jian Xia was born in a general's family and has studied literature and martial arts since childhood. Because his father was killed by a treacherous minister, he was exiled among the people. Later, she was favored by the beauty viewing officials sent by Tang Xizong, and Jian Xia was forcibly robbed into the palace. Fortunately, Huang Chao led his troops into Chang'an, Jian Xia performed well in an anti-rape operation, and Huang Chao promoted Jian Xia to a noble concubine.

Jian Xia's background is naturally an unusual woman. In addition, she is naturally intelligent, so she is understanding and often unique. After listening to Huang Chao's words of praise Qiu Ju, Jian Xia immediately smiled and said, "Your Majesty praises Qiu Ju like this. My concubine dared to guess that Your Majesty is brewing poems praising Qiu Ju, hehe!"

Everyone heard this and praised: "Your Majesty said so well! Noble Concubine Jane's guess is reasonable!"

Huang Chao laughed: "My concubine is smart, and I do have the intention of chanting autumn chrysanthemum!"

Jan Xia squeezed her lips and smiled: "Your Majesty's poetry is not inferior to Li Du, but because she is busy with military affairs and has too little time to recite poems, so there are only dozens of poems left. I have been carefully preserving these dozens of poems! Your Majesty, today by the water, facing this excellent scenery, you will definitely be able to recite the unique songs of this large area of autumn chrysanthemum!"

The soldiers urged Huang Chao to recite the autumn chrysanthemum poem.

Huang Chao heard this and became heroic: "Since my concubine encouraged and the brothers cheered, let's face this autumn chrysanthemum by the water and chant! It's just that no wine can make poetry. Bring me my wine gourd! I drink and chant!"

Soon, a personal soldier handed the wine gourd to Huang Chao's hand.

Huang Chao raised his neck and took a few sips, meditated for a long time, and blurted out: "Autumn light reflects good wine, today. Daqi laughed at Qin Han, and the hero did not worry. Qiu Ju is alone in the cold, and the flower country is invincible. Dinner on the battlefield, bend your bow to avenge!"
