Chapter 12 Leaving Longdu

"Father-in-law, please."

Liu Xia picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

"Good, good!"

Prince Rui, who was sitting on one side, couldn't close his mouth with a smile.

Duan Lingxiao, who sat with him, also smiled.

Today is the day to return home. There is a lot of joy in the Ruiqing Palace.

"Your Highness, I heard that the court is going to treat the Nangong family soldiers. I don't know if it has been decided?"

Prince Rui asked.

"It has been decided. I estimate that we may leave in the first few days."

Liu Xia said with a smile.

"I have a request. You must agree to me."

Prince Rui said with an embarrassed smile.

"What did you say? Lao Taishan opened his mouth in person. How can I not agree?"

Liu Xia said with a smile.

"Actually, it's not difficult. Now we are also a family. Lingxiao has always been with me and has not experienced many fierce battles. This time, going south to deal with the Nangong family is a great opportunity to experience. I have already said hello to the military department. As long as you nod and set out, take Lingxiao away together and let him go down and practice well.

Prince Rui said with a slight smile.

Liu Xia was stunned and immediately laughed and said, "Oh, we all want to go together. I'm going to tell you about it today. I'm afraid that you are reluctant to let people go.

"Hahahaha, it's worthy of my son-in-law, Lingxiao, toast quickly."

Prince Rui said with a gratified smile.

Duan Lingxiao has been with him for many years. He has learned a lot about the foundation of leading troops to fight, which is enough to be alone.

However, without much practical experience, it will be very difficult to take over his position in the future.

Therefore, Prince Rui has always wanted Duan Lingxiao to go out and practice.

While everyone was drinking and talking happily, Zhang Zong hurried into the room and whispered in Liu Xia's ear, "Your Highness, your father-in-law Chen has come to preach the decree. You can be called to enter the palace.

Liu Xia's expression changed. There were still two days before the deadline given to him by the emperor. Why did he be summoned at this time?

"Father-in-law, I have to go to the palace immediately. I can't be with you today."

Liu Xia got up and said.

Prince Rui and others were stunned one after another. Everyone knew that the emperor urgently summoned Liu Xia, which was probably a matter of southern Xinjiang.

"Then go quickly."

Prince Rui got up and sent Liu Xia out of the gate.

"Then you go back first, and I'll talk to my father. Then I will go home by myself."

Lingling sent Liu Xia to the door and said with a smile.

"Well, Zhang Zong, you are responsible for escorting the princess."

After saying that, Liu Xia went straight to her palace.

At the gate of the palace, Liu Xia and Chen Mo converged and got off the carriage. Liu Xia asked, "What's the matter in such a hurry?"

"The old slave is not clear. He was still lying **, and your majesty's will has arrived. The old slave hurried to summon you.

Chen Mo explained.

The two people went to the Golden Hall one after the other. At the gate of the Golden Hall, Chen Mo shouted vibly, "Your Highness is here."

"Your Majesty has a decree, please enter the hall."

Little Yellow Gate immediately came out and said.

At this time, Liu Xia entered the hall.

Push Jinshan, pour the jade pillar, and salute.

He looked up and secretly glanced at the emperor. Today's emperor, with a blue face.

The ministers below did not dare to say anything. In the hall, Liu Xia could hear his heartbeat.

"Hao Xuan, you came just in time. This is today's war report. Take a look.

After saying that, the emperor handed the memorial on the table to the eunuch beside him, and the eunuch handed it to Liu Xia.

Liu Xia took a cursory look and immediately frowned.

Taking advantage of the slackness of the garrison in the East China Sea, the Nangong family attacked the garrison camp in the southeast border garrison in the Wolf Valley.

The garrison battalion on the border has suffered heavy losses. The generals such as the rebellion of the southeast garrison on the border have defected one after another. 100,000 troops fled all the way to the north and were killed by the Nangong family.

Less than 50,000 people were left to escape to the Huangpu family, which can be said to be a great loss.

The southeast garrison is the main force for encircling and suppressing sea pirates and stabilizing southern Xinjiang.

The main force is 250,000, distributed on the southeast and southwest coasts.

It is the main army that was secretly attacked by the enemy this time. It can be imagined that other departments are also in chaos now, and the losses are far more than this number.

Liu Xia took a look at the date. This was three days ago.

I'm afraid the situation will be even worse in the southeast today.

"Your Majesty, you can lead the troops on an expedition if you are willing."

Immediately, Liu Xia knelt on the ground and shouted.

"Good! That's what I'm waiting for you. According to the decree, the crown prince was canonized as the governor of the Southeast Expedition and lead the southeast to suppress the bandits and calm the chaos. It will take effect. Ordered the six departments, the governors of the five armies coordinated fully. Tomorrow morning, I will see you off at Xuanwu Gate.

The emperor got up and laughed.

"Your Majesty is wise."

Immediately, Man Chao Wenwu knelt down to the ground.

Liu Xia hurriedly received the order to thank him.

Subsequently, the emperor issued more than a dozen orders in a row, dispatched troops, transported grain and fodder, and ordered the Tian Nu River to enter a state of emergency.

Since the decisive battle of Longdu, the emperor has been planning to clean up the Nangong family all the time.

Today is the time to show the sword.

And Liu Xia also knows in her heart that this is the best time to deal with the Nangong family.

Because in March, the monsoon will change its direction, and at that time, the sea pirates will arrive.

Now the southeast garrison is fragmented. I'm afraid it can't be expected at all.

If you are attacked by the Hai Kou and the Nangong family and suffer from the enemy, the situation will be dangerous at that time.

Therefore, the Nangong family must be destroyed before the East China Sea bandits arrive, otherwise once it is dragged into their rhythm by the other party, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Then, Liu Xia came out of the palace and headed for her palace.

After returning to the royal palace, it was already evening.

Liu Xia immediately ordered people to pack up their things in the royal palace and prepare for the expedition.

The whole royal palace suddenly became noisy.

Subsequently, Liu Xia arrived in Cai Wei's room.

Entering the gate, I saw Cai Wei sitting on his knees and practicing.

Hearing Liu Xia's footsteps, he immediately opened his eyes and a smile appeared on his face.

Seeing Cai Wei rejuvenated, Liu Xia's heart was naturally extremely gratified.

"How do you feel, girl?"

Liu Xia asked.

"This Taoist Heart Sutra is really domineering. Although my previous cultivation has been destroyed, I believe that with the help of the Taoist Heart Sutra, I will definitely be better."

Cai Wei said with an excited smile.

"That's good. I just received an order to leave Longdu tomorrow. You have just recovered from your injury. I think you are still practicing in the royal palace for a period of time.

Liu Xia said with a smile.

Cai Wei shook her head like a rattle and said, "The master has already told me that I was going to say goodbye to you tomorrow. As a result, you left first. Well, my master and I plan to leave tomorrow and go all the way south. While tracing the whereabouts of the demon clan, he improved his cultivation.

Cai Wei said with a smile.

"It's good."

With that, Liu Xia escaped from a few scrolls from her arms.

"This is the unparalleled cut of Yuntian, the magic body method, and the seven seals of the cloud. There is also a King Kong mask, which is a martial arts and body protection skill. These skills are accumulated by the master at ordinary times. I'll give it to you."

After saying that, Liu Xia handed it to Cai Wei.

Cai Wei was dumbfounded.

These skills, any one of them, is a sky-high price.

Liu Xia gave all these to her, naturally hoping that she would be safer.

However, there is an arrogant sky to protect her. Ordinary people are not her opponents at all.

"Brother, thank you very much."

Cai Wei hurriedly smiled.

"You're so polite to me."

Liu Xia stretched out her hand and scratched Cai Wei's nose and smiled.

"Brother, I..."

As soon as Cai Wei wanted to say something, Dabao ran over and said, "Let's go to the council hall first. The imperial edict has arrived.

Liu Xia hurriedly got up and said, "Sle, let's talk about it another day."

After saying that, he went out.

Cai Wei looked at Liu Xia's back and sighed disappointedly.

"What? Can't you bear to part with your brother?"

The proud sky smiled faintly.

"There it is."

Cai Wei said with a guilty heart.

"Just be stubborn. I know what you said when you took your brother's hand pitifully the other day."

Ao Cangqiong laughed.

When Cai Wei heard this, her face suddenly turned red.

That night, I thought I really couldn't stand it, so I told Liu Xia the secret hidden in my heart.

As a result, Liu Xia did not respond in the past few days.

On the contrary, it made her a little confused and a little disappointed.

"Woman, your brother has you in his heart. He knows everything in his heart. First, put aside these children's private affairs and practice well. That boy will be yours sooner or later."

The proud sky smiled faintly.

"Hmm."

Cai Wei nodded and hurriedly sat cross-legged, threw out these distracting thoughts, and began to concentrate on practicing.

After receiving the order, Liu Xia ordered everyone to hurry up and go to Lingling's room.

As soon as I got married, I threw Lingling to this dragon capital. I thought to myself that I had to comfort and comfort others.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Lingling wearing the armor of the royal soldiers, standing in front of the mirror, looking left and right.

This armor is obviously much bigger. No matter how you look at it, it feels like a child.

"Madam, what are you doing?"

Liu Xia asked curiously.

"Naturally, I'm going out with you."

Lingling turned around and smiled.

Although this dress doesn't fit, the little girl is dressed in a uniform, which looks heroic, delicate and cute.

"Don't fool around. It's not like going out to play with troops. How dangerous it is to take you."

Liu Xia frowned and said.

"Do not tell me this. Since I left Yunzong, I have missed a lot of things. You can't leave me alone in the palace this time. If you dare to leave me, hum, I'll get a cuckold."

Lingling pinched his waist with both hands.

As soon as Liu Xia heard that the aunt was serious, she smiled awkwardly and said, "Don't you need to cuckold so seriously, do you?"

"Hmm, don't talk nonsense, it's so serious. I asked you, do you want to take me?

Lingling looked up and asked.

"Oh, you threatened me. Can I not take you? However, the generals did not take their families with them. What will you do if the emperor asks?

Liu Xia asked.

"It's easy to do. I just thought about it. I declared that I was going to go to Grandpa's retreat. Who dares to disturb me?"

Lingling pouted and said.

"Okay, I'll find you a set of suitable armor."

After saying that, Liu Xia smiled bitterly and walked out of the door.
