Everyone left the hall, and the empty hall seemed even more silent. Qin Rouniang was like a sculpture, and a sickly red color appeared on her pale face. Qin Niang stood beside her and looked at Qin Rouniang with a worried look on her face.

Since he was defeated by good soldiers, the Empress Dowager has been in such a state of disobedience, and often this kind of seat lasts for half a day.

The situation is very bad! Even if Qinniang doesn't care much about current affairs, he knows that the current situation is already very bad for the court. If Tongzhou is lost, the Northern Expedition Army will be able to immediately face the capital and fight in the three southern states.

It took less than a year to go from strength to weakness. Now, the southern part, which was already struggling, had to draw Su Can's main force back to Shangjing to protect the guards. It was almost a foregone conclusion that the three southern states would be lost unless a miracle happened.

That is to say, the only place where the Dayue court can truly effectively control it is the only place to go to the capital.

Qin Chi walked in the empty hall, and the sound of the footsteps made him tremble, and a sense of powerlessness involuntarily rose from the bottom of his heart.

"Empress Dowager!" Standing under the stairs, Qin Chi bowed to Qin Rouni above.

"What bad news did you bring?" Qin Rou Niang owed forward, looking down at Qin Chi, with tiny fire flashing in her eyes.

"Empress Dowager, the battlefield news is confirmed. Xing Shu was killed in battle, Congzhong was killed in battle, and Congliang General was captured!" Qin Chi swallowed.

"Congliang was actually captured. The general of Dayue was actually captured?" Qin Rouniang's voice was extremely sharp.

"Yes, the Empress Dowager, the Northern Expedition Army was covered by the Tongzhou great tycoon Zhao Donglei, and before the war, he secretly transported the 3,000 naval marines into Tongzhou City. When the war broke out and the troops were empty from the general, he suddenly launched an attack.

Captured from the general." Qin Chidao.

"Forget it, is there any news about Xiong Kuohai and Zi Yan?" Qin Rouniang waved her hand weakly and asked. "Although An Lu was broken, with Zi Yan's ability, she would not be trapped. Why haven't she been there for such a long time?

Her news?"

Qin Chi hesitated for a moment, "Empress Dowager, we have actually received some news today, but it has not been verified yet, so it has not been reported to the Empress Dowager."

"Say!" Qin Rouniang looked at Qin Chi, feeling some bad feelings in her heart.

"The latest news is that Xiongkuohai fought a fierce battle with Wang Qiang, the fourth battalion of the Northern Expedition Army, in Huangliangtun, near Jinhua, and then led thousands of people to break through, but arrived near Panlong Mountain on the junction of Luzhou and Tongzhou.

Surrender to the Northern Army.” Qin Chi whispered.

"Will Xiongkuohai surrender?" Qin Rouniang sneered: "It's impossible!"

"Empress Dowager, Xiong Kuohai has not surrendered, he is gone!" Qin Chi whispered. "The specific situation has not been clearly found."

"It's gone! It's gone!" Qin Rouniang said a few words in her mouth and suddenly laughed, "I understand, I understand."

"Empress Dowager, what do you understand?" Qin Chi asked in confusion.

"Let's go, let's go!" Qin Rounniang stood up with a smile, and turned around the high steps like a trapped beast, "It must be Zi Yan who found him, they left me, have been there.

It's my own little life!"

"Empress Dowager!" Qin Niang took a step forward with some concern and helped Qin Rouniang, "Empress Dowager calmed down and don't hurt her body!"

Qin Rouniang smiled and got rid of Qin Niang's arm, "What else can you do to hurt or not?"

"Empress Dowager, should I send someone to chase them?" Qin Chi said.

"Forget it! Forget it!" Qin Rounniang waved her hand, "The so-called tree falling and scattered, that's the case. The husband and wife are birds in the same forest, and they must survive on their own when the disaster comes, not to mention that they and me, Xiong Kuohai and Ziyan do not owe it.

What do I do? They don’t owe me. They will leave well and leave well, so they won’t hang themselves on a tree in the future!”

"Qin Chi!"

"The Queen Mother, the last one will be here!"

"Qin Chi, you are a member of the Qin family, you are my cousin, I don't want to say anything more to you. If you want to leave, I won't stop you. After all, you are the only one left in the Qin family, Qin Zongqin

He died suddenly in the civil strife in the south, Qin Cheng died in Tongzhou City, and you are the only male member of the Qin family."

"Empress Dowager, I won't leave!" Qin Chi said loudly: "A real man cannot eat five cauldrons when he dies, and he is cooked with five cauldrons when he dies. Qin Chi is willing to die vigorously, nor does he want to live a cowardly life!"

"Okay, okay, I'm worthy of being my Qin family man. Zi Yan left, you can take care of Luowang well. Remember, keep an eye on Cao Yi." Qin Rouni ordered.

"Ah?" Qin Chi said in surprise: "Empress, I think the Prime Minister is still very dedicated. He is doing his best to defend Shangjing and does his duty and does not notice any abnormal actions!"

"What do you know?" Qin Rouniang said coldly: "Increase the intensity of surveillance at the Cao Mansion. By the way, don't let Wang Jingluo go. Maybe there will be any clues on his side to notice. Qin Chi, don't forget

Who is Cao Yi? In short, by Hao'er's generation, there have been four emperors in his hands. If you really want to talk about it, Li Jian and Li Xiao can be considered dead in his hands. This person

Turning hands into clouds, turning hands into rain, maybe when will we be sold. Think carefully, when isn't the most critical moment, he sold his previous master and turned to this credit to rely on him.

After the next master, don’t expect such a person to be loyal to you. If Shangjing City is a strong ship now, then Cao Yi might be a termite on this ship, which will cause chaos at any time.

Come."

"I understand the Queen Mother."

"If you have any doubts, don't act unscrupulously. I will repay you immediately!"

"Yes, Empress Dowager! Do Qin Sheng need to monitor it?"

"No need, Qin Sheng and Guan Pengju are just like that. They are both typical old-school soldiers. You can rest assured that he can agree to any request. Now that he is in the capital, this is the only one who can truly trust.

The old general is here.” Qin Rouniang said painstakingly.

The thick gate of the hall was slowly closed behind Qin Chi's back. Qin Rouniang pondered for a while and said to Qin Niang: "Qinniang, there are also some arrangements in the palace."

"Yes, Empress."

"Is Cao Xiang still guarding the palace?"

"No more, Empress, the Chief Auxiliary sent him to the side of the veteran General Qin Sheng the day before yesterday to help!" Qin Niang said.

"Enjoy the Taiji Palace, Jingren Palace, and the guards in Qianqing Palace, who are not us, will be sent out."

"Yes!" Qin Niang agreed, but her feet did not move.

"Why haven't you dealt with these things yet?" Qin Rouniang looked at Qin Niang strangely.

"Empress, I don't know whether I should say it or not?" Qin Niang said boldly.

"Tell me, you have been with me for so long, but like a real sister, what should I say or not?"

"Why don't the Empress think about another way?"

"Well, what's another way?"

"Peace talk! Peace talk with King Zhengbei!" Qin Niang said: "Empress, we are actually in trouble with internal and external affairs now. Shu Qinniang said bluntly that there is no way out if we continue like this. The best result is to defend Shangjing, but even so,

There is no way out! If you can have a peace talk, after all, there is no deep hatred between the Empress and the King of Conqueror! On the contrary, you still have an old relationship!"

Qin Rouniang turned her head and smiled slightly, "Qinniang, you are wrong. There is indeed no deep hatred between Yun Zhao and I, but the differences between me and him are more difficult to resolve than deep hatred." She patted the chair,

"There can only be one person on this dragon throne. Is it him or Hao'er? If Yun Zhao enters Shangjing City, Hao'er will have a dead end. Everyone can surrender, but Hao'er and I are thousands of people

It's absolutely impossible."

"If you really want to talk about old love, I'm afraid he hates me more!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian (qidian.) to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is me.
