After the Northern Tang army successfully captured the capital of Liang Kingdom, Dis City, good news spread frequently.

After the war was over, the Xiao family army returned to the court. When the song of triumphant sounded, the former neighbors of the Daliang Kingdom were panicked for a while. Several kings sent special envoys to prepare generous gifts and came to the Northern Tang Dynasty to congratulate them.

Yingzhou City, on the city gate building, all the ministers were accompanied by Empress Dowager Xiaocheng. She was seen as pink and white and shredded with silk.

The wide and decent bright yellow military uniform wrapped around her delicate and delicate charm, all of which demonstrated her dignity, and indeed, she was an innate noble demeanor.

"Report to the Empress Dowager, our Northern Tang army has passed the Bell and Drum Tower... The two generals Cheng Abao and Xiaohonglou are led by!" Xia Tian, ​​the imperial guard in front, reported.

"Oh, where is the Grand Marshal Xiao Zhentian?"

"Return to the Empress Dowager, this time the army returned to the court, with a total of 100,000 troops remaining, and the remaining 50,000 elite troops, the Grand Marshal Xiao Zhentian has set off toward Muqi..." Xia Tian continued.

"This is the memorial of Marshal Xiaodao. Please take a look at the empress dowager!" The commander of the imperial guard Zuo Fei presented it with both hands.

When the left Prime Minister Jiang Fengxing heard this, he shouted in horror: "Empress Dowager, how can this be done? Did he laugh at Zhentian and secretly hoard troops and reveal his evil intentions... violate the Empress Dowager's imperial edict?"

The third lady's eyes were as frost as she swept across the ministers and whispered: "All my dear friends are like Lord Jiang's thoughts?"

"Empress, you can't let him laugh at the army. You are so bold and arrogant!" said Cai Shen, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

"Yes, there are ones and two. Xiao Zhentian completely doesn't take the imperial court seriously... Cough cough, this phenomenon must be killed as soon as possible!" said Li Yifeng, the former commander of the Flying Tiger Camp.

"Oh?...What Xiao Family Army? Why do you say that this Northern Tang Wang Army is the Xiao Family Army?..." The third lady said unhappily.

After a while, she calmed down and said, "Dear everyone, please feel free to see how the general Cheng Abao, Xiaohonglou, will report to the Ai family after he arrives, yes!" Seeing that the ministers and workers were worried, the third lady hurriedly advised her.

Wandering...After about half an incense stick, the soldiers of the three armies sang triumphant songs and shouted passionate slogans: "The King of Northern Tang Army is unstoppable, and they will win the battle!"

General Cheng Abao took the lead in jumping off his war horse, held the battle report in his hand, and knelt down on the ground like a whirlwind: "I will meet the Empress Dowager, and all the lords... Our Northern Tang King Army left the southern border and returned to the war. Fortunately, we live up to everyone's expectations and live up to the Queen Mother's decree!"

...

"Welcome the army to return to the court! Welcome the army to return to the court!" The whole people of Yingzhou City consciously welcomed the soldiers of the three armies, with gongs and drums and guns roaring together.

In front of the city gate, the three armies sang together: The great country, the Northern Tang Dynasty, is forever! The Empress Dowager is lucky and peaceful!

On the city tower, the third lady's eyes were flushed and excited. She waved her hand to the soldiers of the three armies and said loudly and passionately: "Dear heroic soldiers and brothers, thank you for your brave guard and fighting the enemy!

Thank you for your hard work, I have prepared a sumptuous food for the soldiers of the three armies! From today on, a grand banquet will be held for seven consecutive days to comfort the brothers' triumphant return!

"He Yun came, and ordered him to continue, regardless of the general or the army, and the entire army would reward him. Each person had two dou of food, one jar of imperial wine, and five taels of silver and gold! It was issued by Cai Shen, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and there would be no delay!"

"Wow! The Queen Mother is a thousand years old, Long live Northern Tang... The Queen Mother is a thousand years old, Your Highness is a thousand years old!" The officers and soldiers

The passionate blood is surging, and the loud cheers are: I will protect my country, defend my country, and defend my life to the death!

The third lady said: "I swear that any neighboring countries around us who are eyeing our Northern Tang, who are ambitious, who are murdering His Majesty, who intend to plunder the Northern Tang Dynasty...

Should we take revenge, guard the country, and fight back against the enemies who invade our northern Tangshan River?"

"Guard the strong land and swear to take revenge to the death... be loyal to the Queen Mother and be loyal to the Northern Tang!"

"Yes! Defend to the death! This palace was once a general of the Flying Tiger Camp in the capital. Therefore, in order to protect the security of the family and the people's livelihood, this palace shared the same hatred of the enemy with you and avenge the late emperor!"

The third lady said with a high and passionate speech quickly ignited the passion of the soldiers of the three armies. They waved the spears and iron swords in their hands, and their iron-blooded and loyal hearts resounded throughout the radius of hundreds of miles.

The entire army and the whole nation were moved by the country and the family. The third lady also trembled slightly and her eyes were filled with tears.

...

Prime Minister Chu looked at the third lady in tears, and felt sad, and hurriedly comforted: "Empress Dowager, your... hairpin is crooked."

The third lady lowered her eyebrows, quietly brushed away the tears, and turned around and said, "I am confused... Let's go and accompany me back, and I have something to discuss!"

Chu Heng looked at Cheng Abao, wondering who the Empress Dowager said this to... The two looked at each other and followed behind the third lady's carriage.

Jiang Fengxing next to him heard a sentence "If you have something to discuss... it seems that the Queen Mother has no intention of letting him go with you." Prime Minister Jiang was very unhappy. He glanced at Cheng Abao and Chu Heng who had already left, and muttered, "Look, you two can... I'm just waiting to see it!"

"Hey, Prime Minister Jiang, what are you muttering about? Look at others, the relationship... is getting closer!"

The Minister of Revenue Cai Shen looked at Jiang Fengxing with a strange look, and pointed at the back that was leaving... deliberately provoking it from it.

Prime Minister Jiang said unhappily: "How come there is a sour smell in this wind?...Haha!"

"What do you... mean? You really don't know what's wrong!" After that, Shangshu Cai snorted and left.

Back at the West Flower Hall of Qinzheng Hall, the third lady ordered the Grand Chief He Yun to come and entertain the two of them with the Kunlun Snow Peak of the Great Zhou tribute tea.

The fragrant tea was poured quickly, and the three of them sat opposite each other under the fragrant osmanthus. After taking a sip, they felt the fragrance remained on their lips and teeth, and the heart was filled with fragrance.

"Thank you for your hospitality. This is the first time I have to taste such a good tea... Tsk tsk, it is really a holy product in the world, and I am not worthy of the Empress Dowager!"

The third lady opened her pill lips lightly and said a little, "Look at what General Cheng said, I am still the lady in your eyes... Well, don't give us extra friendship!"

"I dare not. I only wish the Empress Dowager peace and good fortune in this life... You are too hard, Bao can't do some rough work, he can only do some rough work! Alas..."

"General Cheng, you have made great contributions. The Empress is very grateful in her heart... In addition to the general's righteousness, I am moved by the general's righteousness! Thank you for everything you have done for the Northern Tang Dynasty!"

Your Majesty and the Empress treat me as brothers... This grace is also Abao's luck... In this life, only the Empress will follow the leader and never retreat!"

"In the future, I would like to ask the Prime Minister to assist in the government affairs more so that the Empress can reduce some pressure... Well, I have rich time to take care of the two princes!" Cheng Abao did not dare to look up at the third lady, and whispered to Prime Minister Chu.

Chu Heng saw his serious expression and felt something strange in his heart: "This Cheng Abao seems to care about Xiao Cheng's Empress Dowager, right?... Uh, no, no, I guess what I am guessing!"

He looked up and the third lady looked calm. She had already taken a hand-drawn drawing from the dragon's desk and came over five or six feet long.

"Empress, what is this?" Chu Heng asked.

Cheng Abao stood up and helped the third lady spread the drawings out. The three of them all fell on the drawings. This was the distribution map of Zhang Qiguo's strong land... Abao didn't say anything, and his fingers touched the distribution map of Muqi's strong land.

Chu Heng's heart moved, could the Queen Mother want... he didn't dare to think about it!

Looking at the third lady again, her movements were similar to Cheng Abao, just like the same. After a while, Cheng Abao said: "Empress, Abao asks for your order!"

After saying that, he knelt in front of the third lady and said in a deep voice: "Empress, although Abao has no ability, I hope to be a pawn and open the road to the throne for you!"

"What road to Muqi?" Chu Heng pretended to be puzzled and asked hurriedly.

"Abao, I regard you as my brother and sister... You are indeed consistent with me. This road to the southern border is your pioneer!"

"Come here, I'll write an order. The only general of the southern border of this palace is Cheng Abao!"

"Thank you for your appreciation from the Queen Mother. Cheng Abao has another request for an order. My mother is old and needs someone to take care of herself. I hope the Queen will allow the empress to go and settle her."

"Accurate! I'll give Cheng Aniang a third-rank imperial edict and settle in the residence of the general in the southern part of Kyoto!" The third lady pulled Cheng Abao and said with stern accustomed.

"Thank you for your kindness, and I'm going to leave!"

Seeing Cheng Abao leave, Prime Minister Chu congratulated: "Empress, I am willing to go to the southern border to serve as a military supervisor. I hope to expand your grand ambitions for you as soon as possible to comfort the spirit of the late emperor in heaven!"

The third lady looked like a torch and said with relief: "There are good ministers and generals in the Northern Tang Dynasty, why worry about not revenge if you are not repaid? Why worry about not being able to achieve great cause!"

"Yes, congratulations to the Queen Mother, the journey is imminent, and planning is the best strategy!"

...In the corridor on the left side of the West Flower Hall, behind the screens of the beautiful mountains and rivers, a familiar voice sounded.
