female concubine

Western Xia Capital City

In addition to the defense of the border areas, Li Yuanhao transferred the whole country's army to Xiping Mansion, leaving only an elite group in Gyeonggi led by his confidant guards.

In the middle palace, a woman wearing thin clothes sat in front of the bronze mirror and tried today's new rouge, "Didn't the market stop, where did the general rouge get it?"

The general walked behind the woman, bowed his waist and whispered in her ear: "Does the queen want to know?"

In the mirror, there was a man and a woman, one with flirtatious eyes and the other with a charming figure. The woman picked up the rouge box and dabbed some on the center of the general's brows, then gently swipe down with her fingertips, "There is wine on the table for you, Tubo!" of wine."

The general grasped the hand she was about to take back, squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "The queen gave me wine, and I dare not refuse to drink it, but if I get drunk and get impulsive..." His squinted eyes were almost half-opened, "Frivolity What should I do if I lose the queen?"

The woman stretched out her other white hand to cover her mouth and smiled, "Isn't the general impulsive? Is the general not afraid of His Majesty's discovery after staying in the central palace a few times?"

The general let go of his hands, and laughed loudly: "Peony flowers are a ghost even if they are dead. If I are found out, I will take his city and let him suffer from the enemy."

The woman got up and pulled his clothes, walked to the table and sat down, filled him with a glass of wine, "He is a lunatic, he is suspicious of this and that all day long, so many women and children in the palace don't know what to do with him Now, he is busy fighting now, he will not turn back, he has no time to take care of the following things, besides, swords have no eyes on the battlefield, so who can say for sure if he will come back alive."

The general stroked his beard and drank the wine brought by the woman in one gulp, "It's really good wine."

The woman immediately sighed: "I can't go anywhere since I entered this wretched place, it might as well be in the back house of that stupid big man."

The general touched her soft hand, pretending to be affectionate and said: "Would you like me to take you away?"

The woman glanced at him, "You, do you dare?"

"I'm already asleep, so why don't you dare."

The woman covered her mouth and laughed loudly, "Then I won't keep you tonight, I don't dare if you dare."

"I..."

"General, the Xiping Mansion urgently reports that the enemy has broken through the city. Your Majesty orders you to quickly dispatch troops to support."

The general slapped the table, and when he was about to turn around and leave, he was suddenly grabbed by a soft hand, "Are you leaving now?"

"Don't make trouble..."

The woman put down her hands, "Who made a fuss? Have you thought about the consequences of adultery when you go to support now? How many sections do you think you can be divided into with his viciousness?"

The wine in his stomach began to roll in his stomach, like a ball of evil fire burning on the general, and he felt his blood gushing like the night he stayed here for the first time, "Did you drug the wine again?"

The woman turned around and said desperately, "You go, go to fight with your majesty, as for the antidote, you go get a basin of cold water, or just grab a woman..."

Before she finished speaking, the general bent down and picked her up, "I have seen all kinds of women, and no antidote can compare to your ecstasy." Immediately, he entered the room and put her on the couch.

The woman stretched out her white fingers to curl his braids, "Aren't you men all the same?"

----------------------------------

Black smoke rose from all corners of the city, and the defenders were in a state of confusion due to the turmoil in the city. The drums inside the city were exhausted, and the drums were beating outside the city.

——Boom! ——

"Why don't you say no clothes? The same robes as your son. Wang Yuxing's teacher, repair my spear. I share the same hatred with my son!"

——Boom! ——

"Why don't you say that you have no clothes? You are in the same pool with your son. Wang Yuxing's teacher, repair my spear and halberd. Work together with your son!"

——Boom!Boom! ——

"Is there no clothes? I wear the same clothes as my son. The king promoted my teacher and repaired our armored soldiers. Walk with me!" The battle song sung by Qin Yu in Guanzhong resounded deafeningly between heaven and earth.

Accompanied by war drums and battle songs, the momentum of the siege was high, and the guarding soldiers on the tower were knocked down by the Shenji Battalion one after another.

In February of the 12th year of Qianyuan, civil strife broke out in Xiping Mansion, and the city was opened from the inside just after dawn in late spring, and Xiping Mansion fell.

Originally thought that Song Ting would withdraw its troops until spring, so that they could turn around and attack Xizhou, which was held back from the rear, but they did not wait for reinforcements from Gyeonggi until the city was broken.

Li Yuanhao led the scattered remnant troops to flee to the Yellow River, along the north of the Yellow River, running wildly all the way but kept cursing: "Why don't the reinforcements come? Shuzi misled me!"

The fact that the guard of the capital had an affair with the queen had already spread to his confidantes. Because there was no Tibetan to lead the army, his confidantes knew Li Yuanhao's temper, and were afraid that he would kill the Wuzang family who commanded the army and cause civil strife in the army, so they kept suppressing him. With no news reported, "Your Majesty..."

Li Yuanhao didn't dare to stop raising his whip, "Say!"

"A month ago, there was news from the capital that the empress had an affair with the left-behind privy general..."

The black horse stepped on the stones by the Yellow River and tripped suddenly. Li Yuanhao stumbled because of this, and drew out his scimitar angrily, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

The confidant quickly jumped off the horse, "Chen..."

Before his confidant could finish speaking, the knife in Li Yuanhao's hand was stained red with blood. Immediately, he put the knife together and stepped onto his confidant's horse. He gritted his teeth and looked at a glaring head.

Li Yuanhao's move shocked all the generals and sergeants behind him, because the fallen man was the king's most trusted general.

Li Yuanhao raised the reins, "If you guys still dare to deceive the king, this is the end."

After the capture of Xiping Mansion, the emperor ordered Huo Qing and Xiao Yunze to pursue the victory in two ways, while the rest stayed in the severely damaged Xiping Mansion to deal with the aftermath.

The emperor's personal soldiers rode royal horses to catch up with the generals who were pursuing, "General Huo!"

Huo Qing led a group of light cavalry while beating their horses while turning back. Seeing that it was an old friend of the imperial guard beside the emperor, he asked loudly, "Does the emperor have a will?"

The imperial guards drove forward to walk alongside him, and said in a low voice: "The government has a secret order, there is no mercy for killing."

"..." Huo Qing was puzzled, "Didn't Old General Li say that he wanted to capture him alive when he was chasing him?" Seeing the eyes of the guards, Huo Qing immediately cupped his fists and nodded, "I understand."

In February of the 12th year of Qianyuan, Huo Qing besieged the enemy army by the Yellow River and captured Li Yuanhao alive after a bloody battle. He personally guarded the thatched hut that no one lived in and sent someone back to report the news secretly.

In the clean-up room in Xiping Mansion, Qi Liu wrapped up the wound on the emperor's arm, and said distressedly: "The official's family has a lot of injuries, and they refuse to let the military doctor take a good look..."

"It's just some minor injuries. The army suffered heavy casualties. Those soldiers needed military doctors even more. And if it wasn't for me, they wouldn't have died." More than half of the imperial soldiers brought out this time were killed or injured. I can see the people beside me falling down because of protecting themselves, so they are often awakened by nightmares.

"It's going to be late spring, and the weather is getting warmer. If these wounds are not treated properly, they will fester. If the saint sees it, he doesn't know how distressed he will be. Every time the official goes out, he always brings back a wound."

"Okay, the injured people like me didn't cry out for pain. There is no one who is not injured in war. I am lucky to have these minor injuries." The emperor looked sideways at the several cut marks on the golden armor, and sucked in a sigh of relief. Furious, "Finally I won."

"Officials." The guard walked to the door, "General Huo sent someone back."

"Let him in."

The soldiers walked all the way in, calmed down and knelt on one knee and said, "Your Majesty, General Huo has captured the enemy commander Li Yuanhao and locked him in a room."

The emperor was about to get up, and immediately narrowed his eyes and said cautiously: "Who is your general most at odds with?"

The soldier raised his head, "Commander Huo and Mr. Xue often quarrel..."

"Okay, I know, take me there, don't tell the other generals."

"Yes."

The emperor rode out of the city with a small group of his own troops, and followed the soldiers all the way north along the Yellow River. Huo Qing scolded Li Yuanhao in the thatched hut, but gave up because he couldn't understand the words.

"Where are people?" The emperor jumped off his horse.

Huo Qing hurried forward, "Your Majesty, I'm in the room, so I don't know what Chi Chi Wai Wai is talking about, I don't understand anyway."

"Didn't someone tell you?"

"I originally planned to go down with a knife, but after thinking about it, he is the king of a country. Wouldn't it be good to kill him like this, and the Great Wall is not far in front, and Xiping Mansion was attacked without a single reinforcement..."

The emperor glanced at him, "You've learned to be smart."

"I have been with the official family for so long, no matter what, I have been influenced by it."

"You have general talent, but you have to be less talkative. Military discipline is military discipline, so you can't mess around."

"I know it."

Huo Qing led the emperor into the closed room. Li Yuanhao was bound and lying on the ground. Several soldiers cupped their hands when they saw the people at the door, "Officials."

"You all go out, and Huo Qing goes out too."

"Official, he..."

"go out."

"When I left, I was entrusted by Her Royal Highness the Queen..."

The emperor didn't speak anymore, so Huo Qing could only stare at Li Yuanhao, "You'd better be honest!" Then he exited the room.

The emperor stepped forward holding the hilt of the sword, and the injured man was tightly bound hands and feet, struggling to raise his head, and immediately saw a clear and handsome face from the cloud-toed boots all the way up.

The emperor had a weather-beaten face. After more than [-] years of hard work, he seemed to have transformed from a teenager to an emperor. Li Yuanhao only felt that this eerie face was very familiar, "You are the emperor?"

"Do you still remember how you secured your throne?"

Li Yuanhao was surprised, "You can speak our language?"

The emperor said angrily: "Answer me!"

"Does it have anything to do with how I sit firmly?"

"There is civil strife in Xixia, and the princes are vying for the throne. You rely on your own uncle to secure this country." The emperor took a step closer and knelt down, pulled Li Yuanhao's lapel, and said angrily, "But you killed you in the end." My uncle's family, including your childhood sweetheart and cousin!"

"You..." Li Yuanhao looked at the emperor's angry eyes, and suddenly an impression flashed in his mind. The Han man he hadn't found for more than ten years, his eyes widened and he couldn't believe it: "Wei Qing ?”

The emperor threw it off, "Are you still human?"

Li Yuanhao struggled to get up on his knees, and then burst out laughing, "I already knew you were not an ordinary person, that bitch dared to put you back, she deserved to die..."

Hearing Li Yuanhao's howl, the emperor stepped forward and kicked her hard to the ground, but this action made him laugh even more arrogantly, "So you like her? It's ridiculous, ridiculous, everyone says Wei The emperors and empresses of the Song Dynasty are like the couples of gods and immortals."

"Do you know what liking is? Do you know what love is?" The emperor squatted down, "Even if I am ruthless, I will never be like you. Among all your queens, she is the only one who treats you sincerely..."

"What you really mean is her indifference for several days in a row?"

The emperor got up and backed away, "You won't understand, and you will never understand, because you only love yourself, and you only see yourself, so you can't see, hear, and understand."

"There is no one in the world who doesn't love himself, including you, Emperor Wei Song. Did you start the war for the people? You are the most selfish person in the world. Why pretend to be righteous and affectionate here."

"I am indeed a villain," the emperor took a long breath and pulled out his sword from his waist.

"The winner is the king. You are also the emperor. Losing at the hands of the emperor is not a humiliation."

The emperor pointed his sword directly at Li Yuanhao's eyebrows, "You are not defeated by my hands. The biggest enemy of man is only yourself. You died by your own hands, killed by your own suspicion."

"what?"

"I know the situation of Xixia very well, including your current empress, so you can't hide Sirou!"
