SFS Chapter 463 Death of Emperor Qi
Chapter 463 Death of Emperor Qi
Yu Ziling lay on the bed, recuperating.
Although the huge explosion did not hit her directly, the huge vibration and impact force still injured her.
For the past two days, she has been lying in bed, drinking water when thirsty, eating when hungry, and sleeping when tired.
Seeing Xiuqin and Zhaohua looking relaxed, Yu Ziling also felt that the war outside was not urgent.
Two nights later, the imperial physician came again. After checking Yu Ziling's pulse, he nodded and said,
"Your Majesty's body has recovered well, but you have been lying down for too long and have neglected exercise. You can get up and walk around more tomorrow.
The Empress likes to practice martial arts, so you can practice martial arts appropriately, which will be more helpful for recovery, but it should not be too intense, nor should you overwork yourself. Just do it in moderation, and focus on exercise and recovery.
In a few days, the Queen's spirit will return."
"That's good. I'm relieved. Once I've recovered, I'll go fight the Yan army to the death."
"Okay, I'll take my leave. Your Majesty can eat normally tomorrow morning."
The next morning.
After Yu Ziling got up, she had some breakfast and then rushed to her yard impatiently.
After being stuck in the house for several days, Yu Ziling was finally able to come out and get some fresh air.
She first warmed up, then picked up her spear and began to dance, practicing martial arts on the wooden man.
A quarter of an hour later, a heroic woman in light armor suddenly walked into the door of the bedroom, holding a spear in her hand.
She was brought in by Xiuqin.
"Huh? Who are you?"
Yu Ziling looked at the newcomer curiously.
The woman smiled slightly and said,
"I came to practice martial arts with the Empress."
"Would you like to spar with me? What's your name and where are you from?"
Yu Ziling held the spear and looked at the woman in front of her who had a temperament very similar to hers.
"My name is Hongying. I've been practicing martial arts since I was a child and I'm very skilled. Your Majesty, do you dare to challenge me to a duel?"
"Humph, how dare you! Come on then!"
Yu Ziling kicked the gun lightly and pointed the spear in her hand at Yang Hongying.
Yang Hongying rushed forward, the tip of the gun in her hand shaking, and went straight to Yu Ziling's face.
Yu Ziling swept the spear in her hand and fought with Yang Hongying.
Both women are known for their marksmanship.
Yang Hongying's shooting skills are sharp, powerful and powerful.
Yu Ziling's spear skills are more flexible, tricky and strange, and every shot goes straight to the vital points.
The two fought with the air-breaking style, the shadow-breaking style, the wind-controlling spear and the counterattack. The more they fought, the more intense and excited they became.
Unconsciously, they became more and more familiar with each other's moves, and they recognized each other more and more, and even some feelings of mutual admiration began to arise.
After fighting for a full quarter of an hour, both women stopped panting.
Yang Hongying raised her spear and said with a smile,
"Your Majesty's spearmanship is truly formidable. I have benefited greatly from it. However, I am busy with military duties, so I will not stay long. I will come back to practice martial arts with you tomorrow at this time."
Yu Ziling nodded and said,
"So you are also a soldier, then go and get busy. Do your best this time. If we can survive, I will make you a general."
Yang Hongying covered her mouth and chuckled, then she shook her ponytail and left in a casual manner.
After she left, Yu Ziling sat on a stool to rest, drinking tea and asking,
"Xiuqin, how come I didn't know when we had female generals in our army?"
Xiuqin thought about it and said hesitantly,
"Um... there definitely wasn't one before. Women couldn't join the army. Now that this is a special case, she volunteered."
"I see. Women are truly as good as men. It would be great if all women in the world were as good as her and me."
Yu Ziling sighed.
Xiuqin also sighed.
"Why are you sighing?"
"When the Queen sighs, I sigh."
"Then I am still practicing martial arts, why don't you practice martial arts?"
"what?"
"I hope that all the women in Da Qi will be as outstanding as me. So, this matter starts with you. You must also practice martial arts with me. I don't ask you to fight in battle, but at least you should have some self-defense ability."
"what??"
"Grab your spear, are you ready? Look at the gun!"
"My Queen, please don't..."
……
For the next two days, Yu Ziling stayed in the yard and practiced martial arts.
Yang Hongying also accompanied her to practice twice.
She also wanted to go and check on the defense or something, but Xiuqin insisted not to let her go out in the cold wind, saying that her body had not yet recovered.
But Yu Ziling felt that she was now strong enough to kill a cow.
At this time, five days had passed since the Yan army broke through Linzi City. Everything in Linzi City became orderly and organized, as if it had returned to the past.
The day when the Yan army would send out troops was getting closer and closer.
However, on that night, Shen Changgong received an urgent message from the south.
In the imperial study, Shen Changgong took the note handed to him and after reading it, his eyes were filled with shock.
It turned out that just yesterday, the city of Xuzhou County was attacked.
Some time ago, the Emperor of Qi rushed to Xuzhou City and was warmly received by Tong Xuan. During the dinner, the Grand Commandant had proposed to visit the 400,000 local troops and assign some military posts to these nobles so that they could take control of the military power, but Tong Xuan refused and even gave them a vague warning and threat.
Are you kidding? This is the team that Tong Xuan personally built. How could he give them military power?
Afterwards, Tong Xuan sent troops north one after another to station and defend several cities in the north. This was a very normal thing.
In order to avoid suspicion and trouble, Tong Xuan also went to the front line to lead the troops.
As Xuzhou City was adjacent to the Wei State in the south, he left 80,000 people to guard the city.
Just yesterday, the Wei army suddenly appeared outside Xuzhou as if it had descended from the sky, and launched a fierce attack on Xuzhou. In just one morning, the defenders of Xuzhou were outnumbered and had to abandon the city and flee.
Maybe because he ran in a hurry, he forgot to inform His Majesty the Emperor.
The Wei army was more familiar with the city than the locals. They accurately found the government office and the residences of various officials, and directly killed all the royal family members and civil and military officials brought by the Emperor of Qi.
In this sudden war, not many soldiers or civilians died, but all the officials and dignitaries of Qi were wiped out.
On this day, the streets were filled with the bones of nobles and the gates were decorated with the heads of the powerful.
It is quite similar to what Shen Changgong did in Yan State back then.
Afterwards, Tong Xuan was furious when he received the news, and immediately rushed back to Xuzhou with his troops to provide assistance. However, it was already evening when he arrived in Xuzhou, and the Wei army had already fled.
That night, Tong Xuan knelt in front of the corpse of Emperor Qi and cried all night, cursing himself for not fulfilling his responsibilities as a subject and failing to protect the emperor.
The people living around the government office heard it clearly.
Those who hear it are sad and those who listen to it cry.
