After Liu Jiqiang occupied the four palace masters and four deputy palace masters of Guanghan Palace, he obtained 18,000 Tang Dynasty heavy-armed sword soldiers, 18,000 Han Dynasty tiger soldiers, and 6,400 white horses from the system. There are six thousand and four hundred tiger and leopard riders from Yihe, but Liu Ji did not immediately realize these elite troops from the system to the real world. Instead, he planned to return to the Western Regions Protector Mansion and then summon these nearly 50,000 elites. .

After Liu Ji stayed in Chengyin City for a few days, he was about to return to the Western Regions with the puppet bodyguards. Now Liu Ji’s wives and concubines have added six other masters and deputy masters of the Guanghan Palace, Guanghan Palace. The threat from the aspect to the conquest of the General Mansion has disappeared, so Liu Ji is not prepared to leave some puppet bodyguards with peerless general strength in the conquest of the General Mansion according to the original plan.

Returning to the Western Regions this time, Liu Jihui brought back the eleven puppet bodyguards with the strength of peerless generals, and twenty puppet bodyguards with the strength of top generals, all back to the Western Regions.

But just as Liu Ji was about to set off, Heishuitai sent Liu Ji an extremely shocking news that the Emperor Liu Heng of the Jin Dynasty was assassinated and killed in the palace.

In the council chamber of Chengyin City’s General Mansion, Liu Ji smiled bitterly and said to Xiao He and Fang Xiaoru who stayed behind in Chengyin City: “I didn’t expect such a big change happened in the capital in such a short period of time. First, the Queen Mother was poisoned to death. Even the emperor was assassinated."

Xiao He said in a deep voice: "The lord, the news from Heishuitai, it is obvious that the death of the queen mother and the emperor is controlled by an invisible black hand behind the scenes. The subordinates believe that the death of the queen mother and the emperor should be related to the death of the thirteenth family. It doesn't matter. The thirteenth family has no reason to poison the queen mother and kill the current emperor at this time."

Fang Xiaoru hesitated and said, "Could it be done by Zhang Mingqi, the animal husbandry of Suzhou Prefecture? According to the information obtained from Heishuitai, Zhang Mingqi held a secret edict from the emperor. Now that the emperor is killed, Zhang Mingqi can rely on it. This secret decree, justifiably, raised troops to avenge the emperor!"

Xiao He went on to say: "Although Zhang Mingqi's suspicion is very high, I think it is impossible for Zhang Mingqi to have such a strong power in the capital, and it is very likely that there is someone else behind the scenes."

Fang Xiaoru nodded and said, "Killing the queen mother and the emperor in succession is indeed not something ordinary forces can do, but I don't know who the real behind-the-scenes is?"

Liu Ji sighed at this time and said: "Now our army of the samanthas is completely restrained by the four powers of the Western Regions. It is beyond the reach of the capital, and I don't know what kind of result will happen in the capital? Maybe the capital will have to go through it. In the battle, Zhang Mingqi, the bandit leader of the former Red Scarf Army, is not a person willing to be lonely. Now that he holds the secret decree given by the emperor, he is likely to lead his troops to the capital to break his wrist with the thirteenth family!"

Xiao He said: "The lord, the thirteenth family has a strong background. Zhang Mingqi's Suzhou Xiang army wants to seize the power of the capital, but it is not easy. Now we only need to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. I don't know when the lord will prepare. Return to the Western Regions?"

Liu Ji immediately said: "I am going to take people back to the Western Regions tomorrow. I have been delayed for quite a while in Chengyin City."

Liu Ji did not let the princess Liu Qingmei of Xiangcheng know about the news of Emperor Liu Heng’s assassination. Liu Qingmei and Liu Heng grew up next to the Queen Mother Zhou, and their relationship with each other was very deep. If Liu Qingmei learns of Liu Heng’s death, it must be. It would be even more sad, so Liu Ji asked his other wives and concubines to conceal the news of Liu Heng's death from the princess Liu Qingmei of Xiangcheng as much as possible, so that Liu Qingmei would not feel sad.

However, Liu Ji had just discussed the matter with Xiao He and Fang Xiaoru. The princess of Xiangcheng Liu Qingmei looked like weeping and found Liu Ji, "Husband, tell me, the emperor...has the emperor been assassinated?"

Liu Ji smiled bitterly and said, "Qingmei, this...this...how did you know?"

"Woo, the entire mansion of the generals has been spread! Husband, my brother is still a child, why would anyone try to assassinate him? Husband, you have to avenge my brother! Huo..."

"Qingmei, don't cry and break your body, you still have our little baby in your stomach, and your husband will definitely ask for justice for the emperor!"

When Liu Ji mentioned the child in her belly, Liu Qingmei quickly stopped her tears, and then asked Liu Ji: "Husband, could it be the thirteenth family's murderous attack on my brother?"

"It is still unclear whether the murderer was the master of the thirteenth generation. I have ordered Heishuitai to track down all the clues to the poisoned death of the queen mother and the assassination of the emperor. As long as I find out the real murderer behind the scenes, no matter who the real murderer is behind the scenes, I I will definitely avenge the mother and the emperor!"

Liu Qingmei then said with a sad expression: "My husband, there is one thing Qingmei hopes you can agree to."

Liu Ji said flatly: "No, you definitely can't return to the capital now!"

"Husband, Qingmei knows that she is not suitable for a long journey now. Qingmei just hopes that her husband can send an army to the capital and take her uncle's family back to Yincheng. Now the mother and the emperor are gone. Qingmei is afraid that her uncle is also in danger, uncle. Qingmei has been very kind to Qingmei since she was a child, and Qingmei doesn't want any more accidents with her uncle!"

Hearing that Liu Qingmei is not going to the capital on her own, Liu Ji's expression suddenly relaxed, "Qingmei said it makes sense. Although my uncle is an official in the Ministry of ceremonies, but now the capital is very dangerous, it is better for my uncle to leave the capital temporarily for a while. Qingmei rest assured, I will arrange this matter."

After Liu Ji comforted Liu Qingmei for a while, he returned to the chamber of the General's Mansion, sent someone to find Xiao He and Fang Xiaoru again, and then said Liu Qingmei's request to the two of them.

Xiao He suddenly frowned and said, "Lord, among the news from Heishuitai, one is about Zhou Qingyao, the minister of the Ministry of rites. More than 20 officials close to the royal family, including Zhou Shilang, were accused by the thirteenth family before the emperor was assassinated. All the crimes of corruption have been arrested, and now they should be remanded in prison."

Liu Ji snorted and said: "The thirteenth family is really rampant. According to Zhou Qingyao, the minister of rites, he is also the queen dowager’s own brother and the emperor’s pro-uncle. As a result, the thirteenth family will be arrested if they say they are arrested. Shi Lang Zhou called his uncle. It seems necessary to send someone to the capital to take Shi Lang Zhou back to Yincheng!"

Fang Xiaoru said at this time: "Now that the emperor is assassinated to death, Zhou Shilang has become an insignificant figure to the thirteenth family. Presumably relying on the face of the lord and our army, the important court officials of the thirteenth family, It should be able to release Minister Zhou."

Liu Ji touched his chin, considered for a moment, and said, "For the sake of our army's face, this time the team that went to the capital to pick up Zhou Shilang should not be too shabby. The thirteenth family must know, even though our army is working. We are at war with the four major powers in the Western Regions, but our sniper army still has the strength to intervene in the big advancement. In some respects, they should not do too much!"

Today, in Languan County, Yaoguan County, Xizhu County, and Xiping County in Da'an County and Yongjing County, there are only one cavalry brigade and three infantry brigades from the local army of the Puppet Army. Garrison.

Going to the capital to meet Zhou Qingyao and his family, Liu Ji did not draw troops from one cavalry brigade and three infantry brigades of the local army, nor did he draw garrison troops from each city. Instead, three thousand Tang Dynasty heavy armors emerged. Mo Dao soldiers and 3,000 Han dynasty tiger and ben soldiers formed a team rushing to the capital.

Wang Ben and Zhang Han, who both had a force value and a commander value of more than ninety points, had been left by Liu Ji in the General’s Mansion to help Xiao He deal with the immigrants of the Dajin people to the Western Regions Duhu Mansion and Beiting Duhu Mansion. At work, this time Liu Ji drew Wang Ben out to command the three thousand heavy armored sword soldiers of the Tang Dynasty and three thousand tiger and ben soldiers of the Han Dynasty.

In addition, Liu Ji also assigned Liu Meng, Chen Hao, and Chen Zhong to Wang Ben as lieutenants. At the same time, Liu Ji transferred Liu Ha, Liu Mai, Liu Wang, and Liu Liang from his side just in case. The famous puppet bodyguards with a strength of 99 points, as well as two puppet bodyguards, Liu Tong and Liu Lin, with a strength of 103 points, rushed to the capital with Wang Ben, Liu Meng, Chen Hao, and Chen Zhong.

Under the teachings of Tong Bin’s only enshrined mansion, the martial arts of Liu Meng, Chen Hao, and Chen Zhong have all improved a lot. Liu Meng’s strength has reached 99 points. According to Tong Bin, Liu Meng is only one step away from the peerless warlord, and both Chen Hao and Chen Zhong's strength have risen to 96 points.

Originally, Liu Meng, Chen Hao, and Chen Zhong had been pestering Liu Ji, hoping that Liu Ji would return to the Western Regions so that they could go together. However, Liu Ji thought in his heart that the three of them were already his own brothers, so they didn’t. They are willing to follow themselves to the Western Regions. After all, this time the smashing army faced the coalition forces of the four major powers in the Western Regions and did not have the advantage. It must be dangerous and dangerous to enter the battlefield.

This time sending troops to the capital to receive the attendant Zhou Qingyao and his family, the danger should not be great, so Liu Meng, Chen Hao and Chen Zhong were directly thrown by Liu Ji into the team going to the capital. In order to prevent the three from appearing in danger, Liu Ji also drew six puppet bodyguards to follow them.

In the early morning of July 28th, Dajin 428, Liu Ji took nine puppet bodyguards with peerless generals and 16 puppet bodyguards with top generals. He said goodbye to his family and set foot on it. On the way back to the Western Regions, Liu Ji and the puppet bodyguards were still equipped with three war horses.

At the same time, the team rushing to Canglong City was also launched under Wang Ben’s command. The 3,000 soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army of the Han Dynasty were each equipped with two tall horses. People are equipped with two war horses to ensure the marching speed of the entire team.

Soon after Liu Ji left Chengyin City, the four palace owners and four deputy palace owners of Guanghan Palace also left Chengyin City. The eight of them were preparing to return to Guanghan Island where Guanghan Palace was located. Liu Ji gave it to For them a very important task, they must return to Guanghan Palace to complete.

The team rushing to Canglong City, after leaving Chengyin City, Wang Ben saw that Liu Meng, Chen Hao, and Chen Zhong were all looking listless, and couldn't help asking: "Brother Liu Meng, Brother Chen Hao, Brother Chen Zhong, What's wrong with you?"

Chen Hao sighed and said, "Brother Wang, the three of us have been fighting with the lord. I hope that this time the lord can bring the three of us to the Western Regions, but I didn’t expect the lord to throw us into this team. Where can there be battles in the capital to pick up people!"

Chen Zhong mumbled unhappily: "Why don't the lord let the three of us go to the Western Regions? It's boring to go to the capital to pick up people!"

Liu Meng followed, "Hey--my elder brother, I'm afraid that the three of us will be in danger when we go to the Western Regions, but we are generals, how can we not go to the battlefield!"

Wang Ben suddenly smiled and said, "Brothers Liu Meng, Brother Chen Hao, Brother Chen Zhong, who said that we have gone to Beijing without a fight? Haven't you heard about the current situation in Beijing?"

Wang Ben’s words brightened the eyes of Liu Meng, Chen Hao, and Chen Zhong. Liu Meng said hurriedly: “Brother Wang, the three of us have been following our master to practice martial arts these days~lightnovelpub.net~ The news about Beijing is really not Too clear."

Wang Ben immediately explained the current situation in Canglong City to Liu Meng, Chen Hao, and Chen Zhong, and then Wang Ben said: "The main force of our army is fighting hard in the Western Regions. Maybe the thirteenth family thinks that our army is good at this time. Bullying, we won't let the Minister Zhou of the Ministry of Rites easily let go. In that case, we will have to deepen the impression of the thirteenth family of our soldiers."

Chen Hao eagerly said: "The thirteenth family had better not know how to promote, or let us brothers show off!"

Wang Ben continued: "If we are lucky, we might be able to meet the troops of the Suzhou Xiang Army and compete with them."

Chen Zhong swept away the depressed color, and said excitedly: "In that case, we will not be too boring when we go to the capital this time!"

Wang Ben looked back and saw that there were three thousand Tang Dynasty heavy-armed sword soldiers and three thousand Han Dynasty tiger soldiers behind him. They said with great enthusiasm: "With these six thousand elites sent to us by the lord, what forbidden army, what Suzhou Xiang army, I didn't care at all, it's better that they all come and trouble us!"

In fact, Wang Ben was also a person with a very calm personality. His strength value reached 94 points, his intelligence value reached 80 points, and his commander value reached 91 points. He can definitely be classified as a handsome talent.

However, yesterday afternoon, Liu Ji ordered three thousand Tang Dynasty heavy-armed sword soldiers and three thousand Han Dynasty tiger soldiers to show Wang Ben a bit of strength. Wang Ben is still in excitement until now, and his mood is hard to calm down. .

The heavy armored sword soldiers of the Tang Dynasty and the Tiger Ben Army of the Han Dynasty are definitely the most dreamed army of any leading general. And his Wang Ben can command such six thousand elites at once, so that Wang Ben’s self-confidence suddenly swelled, even Liu Ji Let him take the Canglong City, Wang Ben also dared to take these six thousand elites to try.
