Genius Demon Empress

Chapter 590 The Northern Expeditionary Army in Danger

"This is impossible. There are records in the history of the mainland. Thousands of years ago, the summoning clan was punished by the gods for leaking the secret of heaven and became extinct. Fa Xiaoyi is the king of the Shang Dynasty, and there have never been rumors that he is a summoner," Long Princess Snow had just recovered from the earlier assassination.

She returned to her original tough empress style and keenly judged the authenticity of the rumors.

The Shang State was a subordinate state of the Longzhan Empire. A few years ago, Fa Xiaoyi also represented the Shang State and came to the capital of Wohua to pay tribute.

Princess Longxue had also received him on behalf of the Seventy-second Long Teng.

In my impression, Fa Xiaoyi at that time was just a cold-faced prince, and he was quite tactful in his dealings with others.

If he said he was a summoner, Princess Longxue would not believe it.

"People can change. After the Shang Kingdom rebellion, Fa Xiaoyi disappeared for a year. No one knows what happened to him during this year." The mercenaries of Wusheng Town once During the mission, I went to Shang Kingdom and accidentally spied on the dark army under Fa Xiaoyi.

Although they all have humanoid appearances, those demon soldiers wearing armor exude a gloomy aura from afar. That aura comes from the dark hell.

Although it is not known how Fa Xiaoyi established a relationship with the demonic army of Dark Hell, judging from the situation of the assassin just now, it is clear that he is no longer the reckless merchant king.

"The Northern Expedition is a small matter or a big one. If it is not dealt with in time, I am afraid that our reputation as a dragon warrior will be destroyed. If the Risong Federation and the Shang Kingdom are united, the consequences will be even more disastrous. You immediately take the elite dragon knights, Rush to the Shang Kingdom and be sure to repel Fa Xiaoyi." Princess Long Xue thought for a moment and ordered Zhan Tian to go to the Shang Kingdom.

According to intelligence, Xiao Jinnuo has been trapped in the misty forest for many days.

They have been out for more than a month, and the food and fodder they brought with the army have long been exhausted. If they are not rescued in time, it will only be a matter of time before they are captured.

If even little Jin Nuo was sacrificed, Princess Long Xue would probably be criticized by all the old ministers.

"I cannot go to the Shang Kingdom." Since the 72nd Emperor Long Teng became ill, Princess Long Xue temporarily took charge of state affairs.

Zhan Tian always regarded Princess Long Xue as an emperor and never dared to disobey her orders.

But today, he flatly refused Princess Long Xue's order: "Fa Xiaoyi is treacherous and cunning. On the one hand, he trapped Xiao Jinnuo in the misty canyon, and on the other hand, he sent his own evil soldiers to sneak into the imperial capital.

The assassin's incident has also shown that there are already Shang spies in the imperial capital. Those evil guardian gods appear and appear, and their methods are also sinister and vicious. The shadow guards in the palace are simply not enough to resist their assassinations. I want to stay in the imperial capital to protect the safety of the princess and the emperor. "

Zhan Tian has made up his mind and refuses to let go no matter how much Princess Long Xue threatens her.

Princess Long Xue was furious, Zhan Tian was a stubborn donkey with such a temper that even ten Asian dragons couldn't stop her.

But for Zhan Tian's support, she felt sweet in her heart, "If you don't go, what will happen to the Shang Kingdom's chaos? Are you really going to watch Fa Xiaoyi fight his way into the imperial capital?"

Zhan Tian pondered for a moment: "I thought that we could send Yue Minzhi to the Shang Kingdom. This time the Southern Expeditionary Army went out to suppress the rebellion. Although the entire army led by Long Jiuzun was wiped out, the dragon knights under Yue Minzhi were still alive. Only one person was lost. It is not difficult to see from this that he is cautious. Yue Minzhi is a double dragon knight. The colorful dragon he rides is also a dark dragon. Its strength cannot be underestimated. He and a group of dragon knights are sent to the Shang Kingdom. It’s perfect to form a dragon cavalry battle formation.”

After hearing this, Princess Long Xue pondered for a moment and had no choice but to agree.

After the assassination incident, although Princess Long Xue did not declare it to the outside world, Zhan Tian still stepped up security in the imperial city for safety reasons.

Anyone who enters or exits the imperial city must provide proof of identity and household registration. Anyone with the slightest suspicion will be escorted to the Imperial Capital Military Prison for interrogation and torture.

For a moment, people in the imperial capital were panicked.

Two days later, dozens of members of the Southern Expedition Army finally returned to the Imperial Capital after a long journey and several teleportation towns.

After being away from the imperial capital for more than a month, Yue Jinghua discovered something unusual as soon as he entered the city gate.

With her excellent five senses, she is keenly aware that a large number of hidden sentry guards have been set up in every corner inside and outside the imperial capital. If there is any slightest sign of trouble, those hidden guards will take action.

The city gate that used to be guarded by only ten people was now guarded by twenty people. The city gate would be closed immediately after dusk every day.

After returning to the imperial capital, Yue Minzhi went to the imperial city to resume his duties.

Long Rui returned to the Protector General's Mansion to make arrangements for Long Jiuzun's death.

Ji Yun, Qing Zizhu and others also all returned to their respective mansions. After this southern expedition, the mental outlook of this group of former dandy and domineering officials was completely different.

After experiencing life and death and cruel siege by sea beasts, they gradually lost their youthfulness and became more like the hot-blooded men of the empire.

Before Cheng Ying left, she glanced at Yue Jinghua meaningfully.

That little look in his eyes seemed to be able to speak, which meant: My dear, you can’t hide your affairs from me.

After Yue Jinghua separated from everyone, he first asked Salman to return to the Duke's Mansion to ensure safety, while he went without stopping and immediately went to the Eagle Division's stronghold in the imperial capital.

The situation in the imperial capital was very wrong. She had thought that Xiao Jinnuo and others who had gone to the Northern Expedition to quell the rebellion had already returned. After all, the Southern Expeditionary Army encountered a series of twists and turns after setting off. In terms of time, it was delayed a lot compared to the Northern Expeditionary Army.

But after asking around, I found out that the Northern Expeditionary Army had not returned yet.

Something must have happened over there in Shang State, which delayed the Northern Expeditionary Army.

Yue Jinghua's guess was quickly verified. After returning to the Eagle Department, she indeed obtained two secret military intelligence reports.

The first one was about the military situation of the Northern Expedition. Not only did the intelligence clarify that the Northern Expedition suffered an unprecedented defeat in the Shang Kingdom, the Queen Mother and the young emperor of the Shang Kingdom were killed, and Zhan Beiao was also directly killed by an unknown person in the Shang Kingdom. The female general was killed, and the dragon knights including Xiao Jinnuo were trapped in the misty canyon for half a month. At this time, they had run out of ammunition and food.

Fa Xiaoyi is so powerful?

After Yue Jinghua got the news, she was no less surprised than Princess Long Xue.

She was not unhappy at all about Zhan Beiao's death. After all, Fa Xiaoyi had done her a favor.

Zhan Beiao's existence is always an uncertain factor.

But then, she thought of another question.

The situation of the Northern Expedition is so urgent. Why is there no reinforcement measures in the imperial capital?

With such doubts, Yue Jinghua looked at the second spy report, but there was a knowing smile on the corner of his mouth.

Fa Xiaoyi is really a ruthless character, and now the royal family of Longzhan Empire has been hit in the front and back.
