Chapter 782 [Under the Brocade 78]
The battlefield was filled with the sound of killing, and the soldiers of both sides fought fiercely, with blood splattering everywhere, staining the ground red. For a moment, the entire battlefield fell into chaos, with corpses strewn all over the ground and devastation everywhere.
At this critical moment, there was a sound of hurried horse hooves in the distance. It turned out that General Qi and Youyou led a large number of reinforcements to arrive in time! Everyone dismounted and rushed into the battle without hesitation, fighting a desperate battle with the Japanese pirates.
Jin Xia saw Youyou from afar and couldn't help showing joy on her face. She looked at Youyou's heroic and brave appearance, and her heart was full of admiration. Although she had witnessed Youyou's heroic performance many times before, she still felt extremely surprised every time she saw it.
On the other side, General Qi led the troops and successfully captured the enemy leader Dong Qisheng alive after a fierce battle. Afterwards, he hurried to meet Mrs. Qi with the joy of victory. When the couple reunited, they showed deep concern in each other's eyes. At this time, Hangzhou City, with the perseverance of everyone, finally ushered in the final moment of victory.
At the same time, Shangguan Xi was always concerned about Yang Yue's safety. When she saw Yang Yue appearing in front of her safely, her heart finally settled down. Yang Yue felt Shangguan Xi's deep affection for him and was deeply moved. The two couldn't help but hug each other tightly.
The battle of Cengang was a brilliant victory. The news of victory reached the capital, and the emperor was very pleased. Lu Ting was relieved to learn that his son Lu Yi was safe.
However, the emperor had many thoughts about Dayong. Lu Ting quickly told the emperor that Dayong was loyal and had no second thoughts. The emperor nodded slightly and then ordered Lu Ting to recover the military pay that Lord Liao had embezzled.
When Yan Shifan learned that Dong Qisheng had been captured, he immediately sent someone to kill him secretly and tried to rescue Luo Wenlong from Madam Qi.
On the other hand, seeing that the situation was hopeless, Lord Liao hurriedly asked Yan Song for help. Yan Song thought for a while, then told him to return home to avoid the limelight for the time being, in order to make a comeback in the future.
After a long and arduous journey back home, Lord Liao unfortunately fell seriously ill and eventually died in a foreign land. This incident made Lan Qingxuan and Lord Xu, who were closely related to him, worried. They knew that once Lord Liao's death was known to the Yan Party, it would cause endless trouble.
Therefore, after careful consideration, the two men decided to act cautiously in all future actions and carefully avoid any actions that might arouse the Yan Party's vigilance.
However, the matter is far from simple. Since Lord Liao had many close connections with his confidants, his sudden death made it difficult for these confidants to remain unscathed and they all faced the risk of being implicated. Among them, the first to be affected was Wu Shouxu. This official, who was once highly regarded, was now in deep trouble because of his close relationship with Lord Liao.
On the other side, Lin Ling carefully prepared the medicine for Xie Xiao to take, and entrusted it to Yuan Jinxia. Yuan Jinxia did not dare to delay for a moment and hurried to deliver the medicine. When she came to where Xie Xiao was, she found that Xie Xiao was concentrating on reading a book. Seeing Yuan Jinxia push the door in, Xie Xiao looked flustered, and hurriedly hid the book under the bed. Then, he quickly turned around, pretending to be indifferent, and began to brag to Yuan Jinxia. Not only that, Xie Xiao also plausibly complained that Lu Yi dragged him down and prevented him from making great efforts. Faced with Xie Xiao's irrelevant remarks, Yuan Jinxia felt very helpless and could only roll her eyes silently, indicating that she had nothing to say.
Yuan Jinxia handed the medicine to Xie Xiao, signaling him to drink it as soon as possible. Xie Xiao looked at the bowl of black, bitter medicine in front of him, with a painful expression on his face, as if drinking this bowl of medicine was more difficult than climbing to the sky.
But under Yuan Jinxia's repeated urging, he finally mustered up the courage, pinched his nose, closed his eyes, and drank the medicine with difficulty. After drinking the medicine, Xie Xiao's mouth was full of bitter taste, and he frowned in discomfort.
He looked at Yuan Jinxia pitifully and stretched out his hand to ask for candy, hoping to dilute the bitter taste in his mouth with sweetness. Seeing this, Yuan Jinxia shook her head helplessly, but still met his request.
After Yuan Jinxia left, Xie Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, then bent down again, quietly took out the book he had just hidden from under the bed, and continued to read.
At the same time, the palace was also in turmoil. The emperor trusted Lan Qingxuan more and more, which made Lan Qingxuan's position in the court increasingly stable.
At this time, Wu Shouxu was impeached by others because of the incident involving Lord Liao. After hearing about this, the emperor thought about it for a while and asked Lu Ting for his opinion on the matter.
Lu Ting was shocked, knowing that the matter involved a wide range of people and that he might get into trouble if he was not careful. So he did not hesitate to distance himself from the matter to avoid getting into trouble. Seeing that Lu Ting was determined and unwilling to express his opinion, the emperor had to turn to Yan Song for advice.
