"The lost skills, the level of Daqi today is not as good as that of the Southern Dynasty, because the skills of the past were lost. Back then, the Southern Dynasty swept the world, relying on the Xuanjia Army built by Emperor Wu himself, and there are secrets of the Xuanjia Army hidden in the underground palace.

Secret." Lu Yuanding said seriously.

"Madam, please don't underestimate the Xuanjia Army. Once upon a time, a few hundred members of the Xuanjia Army charged directly into an army of 100,000 people, causing the enemy's army of 100,000 people to collapse."

Yang Ruoqing felt a trace of disdain in her heart.

That Martial Emperor should be really powerful, sweeping the world when he was alive, but the pattern was only so big. Since he had a powerful Xuanjia Army, why was he unwilling to pass on that secret and chose to shelve it in a high cabinet and hide it deep inside?

In the underground palace?

To put it bluntly, the emperor's thoughts about the world were afraid of being known by interested people, so he finally formed the Xuanjia Army to deal with him in the Southern Dynasties.

It means that the birds are gone and the bows are hidden, and the rabbits are dead and the dogs are cooked.

But the irony is that Emperor Wu hid the secret of the Xuanjia Army, and the Southern Dynasty still fell.

When she thought of the demise of the Southern Dynasty, Yang Ruoqing instinctively felt a sense of discomfort.

She was shocked. Could it be that the queen's emotions in her previous life could still affect her current life? This has never happened before.

It may also have something to do with Yuanzhu entering the body.

Now, Yuanzhu has been hidden in her body and has become one with her.

"Master Lu, what exactly does that sentence mean?" Yang Ruoqing asked.

It wouldn't be a bad thing if this secret could be discovered. She also wanted to see what the secrets of this Xuanjia Army were.

How can we use hundreds of people to attack 100,000 people?

At least the current army, even Luo Fengtang's National Protectorate Army, cannot attack a hundred thousand with a few hundred, let alone a hundred thousand, it is not easy to attack thousands.

"Underground Palace, Lihuo Palace, this refers to a place name. To the north of Daqi, in what is now Daliao, there is a mountain, Tonglu Mountain. In the Southern Dynasties, Tonglu Mountain was called Lihuo Palace."

Lu Yuanding said.

"That's the territory of Daliao. It's not easy to enter Tonglu Mountain in Daliao." Yang Ruoqing nodded and frowned.

The situation in Daliao has been going on for several years since Tuoba Ling killed Tuoba Yu. Now Tuoba Ling controls the government and becomes more and more cruel and cruel. It seems that he is not far away from deposing the young emperor and ascending to the throne.

The young emperor has a cowardly temperament and is not at all qualified to be an emperor. In addition, the young emperor himself has no control over his own power, so it is only a matter of time before he is deposed.

"Madam, this is not necessarily true. The key to the Tonglushan Underground Palace lies in this painting. In addition to what I said just now, madam, please look at this rockery. The layers upon layers of it are probably what it looks like inside Tonglushan, and the text is where

The location is the entrance to the underground palace, so the map is very detailed. As long as a dozen people bring enough food, wages and tools, it can be done." Lu Yuanding added.

"Master Lu, I accept this kindness. Now that you are here, let's have dinner at the Marquis Mansion."

"Being respectful is worse than obeying orders." Lu Yuanding held his hand.

No matter whether this ancient painting could work or not, Yang Ruoqing decided to accept Lu Yuanding's kindness.

After finishing the meal, Lu Yuanding did not stay any longer, but turned around and left.

However, he already got the promise he wanted.

Yang Ruoqing will send people to protect his family, so that he will have no worries.

The next day is the final competition ceremony, but Yang Ruoqing is not going to participate. She has important things to do.

And she didn't want to see her lucky Shanhai Pearl being drawn, which would be a big loss. She also reserved a spot for Qi Xingyun.

Even if she is not short of the money, the account is not calculated that way. There are so many places to spend money now, and it is gone like water. The most important thing is to develop new artillery and new ships for her son Luo Xingchen.

They are all big spenders. If you are not careful, your money will be spent.

You have to invest every month, no less.

Nowadays, all kinds of ordinary expenses in the Hou Mansion can be saved, and there can be no extravagance and waste.

However, this is just a side detail. Now she has other important things to do.

She has to make final preparations, contact and integrate available troops and horses in case of emergencies.

Nowadays, she cannot guarantee that the situation will be under her control.

Xingyun, Ziyan, Wang Sa, Liu Xueyun and others all have their own tasks to complete. Through recent investigations, Yang Ruoqing discovered that the hidden hostile forces are much more powerful than she imagined.

The Duke of Xin, Ning Yuan, is not as old as he appears. Recently, his old slave brought back a deputy general from Nan Zhaojun.

He was a deputy general with real power. After quietly returning, he went directly to the Xinguo Duke's mansion without even going to the Ministry of War to report. This was originally against the rules.

In a sense, this means that Nan Zhaojun has a problem.

The Nanzhao Army was a garrison in the southwest. It was once very famous. At that time, Taizu of Daqi used the Nanzhao Army to destroy several countries in the southwest. In order to prevent the unwilling survivors in the southwest from causing rebellion, the Nanzhao Army was

It was placed in the southwest for a long time and has not been disbanded.

The Nanzhao Army usually has about 100,000 soldiers, but there are still many retired veterans working in the local area who are farming and working. As long as they are recruited, they can be demobilized at any time. If calculated carefully, there are at least about 400,000 soldiers.

This is a terrifying number. Daqi has been in chaos for so many years, but the southwest has always been safe and sound. Nanzhao Army is still in charge. If something goes wrong with Nanzhao Army, you can imagine how thrilling it will be.

"The Nanzhao Army, the Zuo Family, and the Ning Family have all been commanders in the past. They are quite powerful in the army. There are many current officers who are their old subordinates and have old relationships. This is why I have always tolerated them." Qi Xingyun.

Sighed.

None of these generals with substantial military power are easy to mess with, and the Zuo family and the Ning family are not as simple as they appear.

"The Zuo family framed Fubo General Wang Ying back then. Maybe it was a struggle for military power among the generals. General Wang Ying's foundation is not as deep as the Zuo family's, and he is too upright. Naturally, he cannot resist the Zuo family."

Yang Ruoqing said.

She quietly entered the palace and met Qi Xingyun, just to discuss the next major event.

The turmoil in the capital is about to begin.

"General Wang Ying... a hero of a generation, what a pity." Qi Xingyun shook his head.

As the emperor, he did not withdraw from this kind of thing, and the emperor could not do whatever he wanted.

"This time, the military power gained by the Zuo family must be taken back. Nan Zhaojun will no longer control the generals." Qi Xingyun said firmly.
