In the royal study, Zhao Yizhi was taking a nap with his eyes closed. He was looking for that ray of feeling. That day, thunder roared down from the sky, directly killing the third son Zou Wu and relieving Zhao Yizhi from the siege. Everyone didn't know why, but Zhao Yizhi knew that at that moment, his heart was filled with overwhelming murderous intent.
Thunder was caused by him.
But now, no matter how he recalled the scene of that day, recalled that Meng Qianya was stabbed to death several times, recalled Zou Wu's arrogance, even if his heart was full of anger again, there was no movement in the sky.
Looking inside the spiritual consciousness, there is no movement in "God Control". It is still the third chapter "The spiritual consciousness controls all things, and controls it with the heart instead of the body..."
"A broken book!" Zhao Yizhi muttered. He loved and hated this book "Royal God". Although he has gained the unpredictable power of spiritual consciousness, there is no way to practice it at all, and there is not even a hint. There are only obscure and difficult-to-understand philosophical words that are simply incomprehensible. !
Wang Zhenliang came to the door and listened to the movement in the room. It was silent, and then he called out loudly: "Your Majesty."
Zhao Yizhi was awakened by this call and opened his eyes: "Manager Wang? Come in."
Wang Zhenliang then slowly opened the door and walked in with small steps.
Zhao Yizhi was quite unhappy when he saw his small steps. Knowing that he was used to being cautious in the palace, he didn't say anything.
"Your Majesty, Duke Zhongyi has come to Beijing." Wang Zhenliang reported.
"Oh? He was not summoned. What was he doing in the capital?" Zhao Yizhi was a little surprised. Yi Xiaodao had only been back for two or three days. Although the capital and Su City were close, two or three days were not enough time to send the news back to Nanhuai, let alone come to Beijing in person.
Zhao Yizhi asked: "With that Yi Xiaoling?" The name "Yi Xiaoling" was still given by Wang Zhenliang, and was given by Zhao Yizhi himself. Now he also changed his name to evoke Yi Xiaoling.
Wang Zhenliang nodded: "Your Majesty, that's right! Feng Menghong, the county magistrate of Zhencheng, urgently sent someone to the capital to report. Duke Zhongyi and his wife have led an army of 50,000. They have passed through Zhencheng and will arrive in the capital in the afternoon."
"Gong Zhongyi left Su City with 50,000 troops, so why didn't Ren Ping get any news back to the capital?" Zhao Yizhi became concerned. Ren Ping was the county magistrate sent by the imperial court to Nanhuai Sucheng after the vassal withdrawal from Nanhuai. He also had the responsibility of supervising Nanhuai.
Wang Zhenliang lowered his head and asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to send someone to Su City to hold me accountable?"
Zhao Yizhi thought for a while, waved his hand slightly and said: "That's all, Ren Ping is also a loyal person. Since he didn't report this matter, there must be his reasons. Get ready, I'm going to the top of the city to have a look, Daqi's The two princes have rushed to the capital, there must be a reason!"
Wang Zhenliang instinctively wanted to persuade Zhao Yizhi not to move lightly, but looking at Zhao Yizhi's handsome face, he knew that his persuasion was in vain. He quickly asked for a gift from Zhao Yizhi and hurriedly prepared to drive away.
When Zhao Yizhi made this move, except for Lan Yue who was recovering from his injuries, all the other nine Chen guards followed him, and Qian Ning also protected him personally. Qian Ning felt very guilty for putting the emperor in danger again and again.
Seeing this formation, Zhao Yizhi smiled bitterly, fearing that he would never have a chance to try this "God Control" again.
Outside the city, 50,000 Nanhuai troops were displayed outside the east gate of the capital, with flags and swords and guns blazing. There is no way to tell that this is Daqi's best army in water warfare. With such a posture, it is difficult to find an opponent even in land warfare.
"Your Majesty is here, where is Lord Zhongyi? Come out to answer the question!" Wang Zhenliang shouted loudly from the top of the city.
In the army, the two war horses at the front carried the two men out of the queue slowly and came to the city. The two dismounted their horses and kowtowed: "I, Lord Zhongyi, Li Dingxing, and I, my concubine, Yi Xiaoling, are here to see Your Majesty!"
Wang Zhenliang and Qian Ning looked at each other and gave a false alarm. Since the other party was willing to dismount and kneel down, there was no hostility.
"Why did Duke Zhongyi come to the capital?" Zhao Yizhi asked aloud.
Li Dingxing and Yi Xiaoling stood up and said in unison: "Please!"
"Tell me in detail." Zhao Yizhi was a little confused.
Yi Xiaoling looked at Li Dingxing and saw him taking a few steps forward, cupping his hands and saying, "All the 50,000 Nanhuai soldiers and horses are here. I am willing to lead the army back to the Yulin Army. Please, Your Majesty, give all the soldiers Yulin Army armor!" "
Zhao Yizhi asked in a deep voice: "I wonder what Lord Zhongyi means?"
"The Northern Yi people are abusing the Central Plains, my lord! I am willing to lead the Nanhuai Army to fight to the death with the Northern Yi!" Li Dingxing's words were loud and clear, and there was a sense of determination in his words!
"Okay! Lord Zhongyi is so arrogant that he will strengthen our army!" Zhao Yizhi applauded and celebrated: "Come here, tell us to go down and make the Yulin Army's armor and flag and give it to Lord Zhongyi!"
Qian Ning remained unmoved. Wang Zhenliang panicked and whispered, "Your Majesty, please be patient."
"I know it well." Zhao Yizhi also replied in a low voice.
Li Dingxing and Yi Xiaoling were very surprised when they heard that Zhao Yizhi had agreed. Li Dingxing has made it very clear. He led the Nanhuai Army to join the Yulin Army, which is called inviting Jia. As for why he invited Jia, it was to fight to the death with Bei Yi. I didn't expect His Majesty to agree so readily?
"Mr. Zhongyi, it is already late autumn, do you want all the soldiers to stand like this in the autumn wind? Station outside the city and enter the city to talk!" Zhao Yizhi smiled heartily and greeted Li Dingxing.
Li Dingxing hesitated for a moment, then raised his hands and responded: "My lord, I obey the order!"
…
"I have always heard that Duke Zhongyi led the troops well. When I saw it today, the might of the army was well-deserved!" Zhao Yizhi sat in the carriage, lifted the curtain and praised Li Dingxing who was riding behind the carriage.
"Your Majesty, you have given me the reward. When it comes to leading troops, I am not one ten thousandth as good as my brother. If my brother is here, I will definitely be able to ride horses and drive for your majesty straight to the royal court of Beiyi!" Li Dingxing replied humbly.
Li Yaoyang, the former eldest son of Nanhuai, was indeed a powerful warrior recognized by both the capital and Nanhuai, and was known as the Little Overlord of Nanhuai. It's a pity that he underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly, and eventually died in the siege of thousands of troops.
When Li Yaoyang was mentioned, the smile on Zhao Yizhi's face faded a bit. Li Yaoyang was surrounded and killed by the Chu Xiang army at Poyang Lake, and he was killed under his own eyes. As the Emperor of Daqi, there was internal fighting among the vassal kings, but I was helpless at that time...
"By the way, Duke Wu Dinggong has also returned. He is in the mansion now. Did you know that?" Zhao Yizhi changed the subject.
When they heard that Yi Xiaodao was back, Li Dingxing and Yi Xiaoling's eyes lit up. They had long received the news that Yi Xiaodao had left the capital again and was missing. For this reason, Yi Xiaoling often complained that he, the "cheap brother", had neglected He Yue'er.
Yi Xiaoling almost turned his horse and left, heading to Duke Wuding's Mansion. But Yi Xiaoling is much more mature now. Even if he can't bear it in his heart, his face remains calm.
"This..." Li Dingxing hesitated. As a loyal duke, he came to the capital and left His Majesty to find Duke Wu Ding. This was extremely disrespectful.
"You can go if you want, it doesn't matter. I know that you two have always been on good terms with each other. If Wu Dinggong finds out later, he may not know how to plot against me! Go ahead, go ahead." Zhao Yizhi said kindly.
Yi Xiaoling then smiled and looked at Li Dingxing. Li Dingxing cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty! I don't have a residence in the capital. I have been living in Wuding Palace recently, and I am always at your Majesty's disposal!" After that, he led Yi Xiaoling and the two men. The people moved their horses in the direction of Wuding Gong's Mansion.
As for the aftermath? Then leave it to Chen Guang, Feng Nan and other Nanhuai generals.
Zhao Yi stared at the departing figures of Li Dingxing and his wife, the smile on his face not diminishing, but there seemed to be a hint of contemplation between his brows.
…
Li Dingxing and Yi Xiaoling arrived at Duke Wuding's Mansion. They were spotted by Qin Changqian, who was guarding the government office, and they came to greet them from afar. During the Battle of Donglu, Qin went to Qian because of Yi Xiaodao, and Wang Xuan and others also got acquainted with Li Dingxing and others. Li Dingxing praised Qin Qianqian's marksmanship more than once, although he did not understand marksmanship...
"Master, why are you here?"
Li Dingxing smiled and said: "You and I are old acquaintances, so we have become estranged by calling you Gongye! Where is Yi Xiaodao? Let him come out and lead the horse for me!" Li Dingxing was born in the Nanhuai Prince's Mansion. He had a strict family education, humility and elegance. When he was with Yi Xiaodao, he was unrestrained, as if he was a different person.
"Brother Yi left the city and went to the military camp. Taiyi Bai Xinglong has met Lord Zhongyi!" Bai Xinglong came down from mid-air and said to Li Dingxing.
"Taiyi?" Yi Xiaoling became more energetic after hearing the word Taiyi: "I heard that Taiyi's swordsmanship is unparalleled in the world. Does this young hero Bai want to compete with me?"
Bai Xinglong turned around: "Taiyi swordsmanship is overly praised by my martial arts colleagues, and I really can't claim it to be unique in the world. However, if Madam is interested, I can teach you a thing or two in my spare time."
Yi Xiaoling nodded. This was the capital city after all, and it was indeed inappropriate to be constantly wielding swords and guns on the streets.
"Okay, let's go to the mansion first and wait for Yi Xiaodao to come back!" Seeing this situation, Li Dingxing had no choice but to give up. The couple got off their horses, handed the horses to Asan and Asi who came over, and entered the mansion with Qin Changqian and others.
As soon as he entered the door, He Yue'er, who had heard the news long ago, was waiting by the door. He saw Yi Xiaoling from a distance and waved excitedly.
Yi Xiaoling couldn't bear it any longer. He rushed to the door of the house in a few steps and hugged He Yue'er. The two sisters didn't have time to say a thousand words, so they just smiled and hugged each other for a long time. It wasn't until Li Dingxing and others approached that they reluctantly let go and walked into the house.
Outside the city, Yi Xiaodao paced outside the military camp, waiting anxiously. After a while, he saw a group of people rushing to the entrance of the military camp.
"Caomin Wang Xuan, please..." Before Wang Xuan could finish his words, he saw Yi Xiaodao rushing over in three steps and two steps at a time: "Bye bye, let's take a ball. Let's go into the tent. My legs almost broke when I stood there." !”
Wang Xuan burst out laughing. The closeness between the two stunned everyone else. A general had already scolded the guard at the door: "You dare to stop Mr. Wu Dinggong? How many lives do you have? If Mr. Wu Dinming hadn't been magnanimous and wouldn't care about you..."
After entering the military tent, Yi Xiaodao went straight to the main seat, sat down, and rubbed his thighs after standing for a long time.
Wang Xuan quickly bowed his head and said: "My lord, I'm tired!"
"That's all. It's a good thing to run the army rigorously. Even I can stop it." Although Yi Xiaodao's legs were sore from standing, he didn't care too much: "Originally, I wanted to see how these soldiers and horses were doing, but now It seems that I am too worried."
"Go back to your father-in-law, go to the military camp of 80,000 people, and command the military camp of 30,000 people, a total of 110,000 troops and horses, and obey your father-in-law's orders." The first thing Wang Xuan did was to report the number of troops and horses.
"Don't forget me, please call me old...wait, how many people are there?"
"A total of 110,000 troops!" Wang Xuan repeated.
Yi Xiaodao was stunned for a long time...
