Chapter 1031: Everyone else can, but I can't

Everyone left the hall, and the empty hall seemed even more silent. Qin Rouniang was like a sculpture, with a sickly red color appearing on her pale face. Qin Niang stood beside her and looked at Qin Rouniang with a worried look on her face. Since she was defeated by good soldiers, the queen mother has been in such a state of disobedience, and she often took a long time to do so.

The situation is very bad! Even Qinniang, who is not very concerned about current affairs, knows that the current form is already very bad for the court. If Tongzhou is lost, the Northern Expedition Army will be immediately at the foot of the capital. The war between the three southern states has been in less than a year since the war has ranged from advantages to disadvantage. Now, the southern part, which is already struggling, has to draw Su Can's main force back to the guards of Shangjing. It is almost a foregone conclusion that the three southern states will be lost unless a miracle occurs. In other words, the only place where the Dayue court can effectively control the only place.

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-grandfather Zhao Donglei in Tongzhou. Before the war, he secretly transported three thousand naval marines into Tongzhou City. When the war broke out and the troops were empty, he suddenly launched an attack and would be captured by 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 hasn't there been any news about her for such a long time?"

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 Zhengbei Army in Huangliangtun near Jinhua, and then led thousands of people to break through. However, when he arrived near Panlong Mountain on the junction of Luzhou and Tongzhou, the unit surrendered to the Zhengbei Army." Qin Chi said in a low voice.

"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 Rouna stood up with a smile, and turned around the high steps like a trapped beast. "It must be Zi Yan who found him. They both left me and lived their own 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 Rouniang waved his hand, "It's like this that the so-called tree falls and scatters are scattered. 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, Xiongkuohai and Ziyan don't owe me anything. They don't owe me what they have, they will leave well, and they will not 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 Zong and Qin Heng died in civil strife in the south, Qin Cheng died in Tongzhou City, and you are the only one left in 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 Rounniang said coldly: "Increase the intensity of surveillance on the Cao Mansion. By the way, don't let Wang Jingluo go. Maybe there will be any clues there on him. Qin Chi, don't forget who Cao Yi is. In short, by the generation of Hao'er, 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 turned his hand into clouds and turned into rain. Maybe he will sell us at any time. Think about it carefully, when wasn't the most critical moment, he sold his previous master and pointed to the credit and turned to 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."

"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 requests. Now that he is in the capital, the only one who can truly trust is this old general." 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! 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 we can negotiate, after all, there is no deep hatred between Queen Prince Zhengbei! On the contrary, you still have an old relationship!"

Qin Rouniang tilted 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 chaise long, 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 must not."
