Lu Chen continued, “The other tribes of the SA family might not be loyal to the king of Xiliang. They must have been eyeing the throne of Xiliang for a long time. It’s just that they didn’t want to be the first to rebel. “That’s why the Regent agreed to help the king of Huai take the throne. That way, he can control these troops!” Qiao jinniang said, “West Liang is actually just a pile of loose sand. Isn’t the regent afraid that the troops of West Liang won’t be able to reach Chang ‘an and might not even be able to defeat the troops of Yunzhou?” Lu Chen said, “That’s why the Huai King wants to use Xu Mingshuang. Other than Xu Mingshuang, perhaps he has another chess piece. Even if the troops of West Liang can’t defeat the troops of the Qiao family of Yunzhou, they can still hold back the troops of the Qiao family and give the troops of the northern desert a chance to attack Chang ‘an.” Jinniang sighed and said, “If they really fight, the people will still be injured. King Huai actually colluded with foreign tribes for the sake of the throne. Sigh!” The temperature in Western Liang varied greatly between day and night. Qiao Jinniang could not help but feel a layer of coldness. Lu Chen put on a coat for her and said, “Great Tang’s Army hasn’t seen blood for almost 20 years. If Western Liang takes the initiative to attack and just happens to complete what father-in-law failed to do back then, this small country of Western Liang will invade again and again. It seems that they will never be honest if we don’t let them become vassal states.” More than 20 years ago, it was only because father was considerate of the heavy casualties and the birth of the crown prince that they let it go. Qiao jinniang said, “It’s true. The conditions at the border are so hard because of the chaos in Xiliang and the repeated invasion of our great Tang’s border!” …… In the Regent’s mansion. Zhou Siming sent the National Master who had been an official prostitute in Chang ‘an back to the regent. The regent of Xiliang saw his beloved woman dressed like a prostitute and heard that she was already an official prostitute. He was extremely angry and said to Zhou siming, “Is this what King Huai promised me?” “I stole the precious treasure of Xiliang, the thousand-year-old Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus, and gave it to King Huai. King Huai swore that he would succeed. Now? I really trusted him wrongly!” Zhou siming said, “Don’t be angry, regent. King Huai has already arranged everything. As long as the regent falsely accused Lu Chen and Qiao Jinniang of taking the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus from Xiliang after they left, he can lead his troops to pin down the Qiao family’s troops in the southwest. “The Qiao family’s troops can not rush back to Chang ‘an. King Huai has the troops of the northern desert and Longxi Jiedushi. Naturally, he can conquer the city and go to Chang ‘an to ascend to the throne in Chang ‘an!” The regent said, “The Emperor of great Tang is not so easy to deal with. He is in Luoyang and can not be killed. King Huai’s ascension to the throne is also a joke.” Zhou siming cupped his hands and replied, “You can rest assured. Now, the Empress Dowager has been completely controlled by chef Li Yu using rice sachets and fruits. His Majesty will visit the Empress Dowager’s palace in the days to come. After King Huai succeeds, the muddle-headed Hui Lin Emperor will not have much time left.” “Then what about your great Tang’s crown prince and Crown Princess Consort?” Zhou siming said, “King Huai originally wanted to use Xu Mingwei, but his plan failed. The two of them can not die under your Western Liang Knives. I have already made arrangements!” “What arrangements?”The regent asked, “King Huai has never fulfilled any of the things he promised me. How can I trust him?” Zhou Siming lowered his voice and said, “Princess Fu an was seriously ill because of Lu Chen. Now, she has no medicine and needs to rely on the thousand-year-old snow lotus of the Tianshan Mountains as the medicine. If Little Jun Rong feels that Lu Chen has the snow lotus and refuses to take it out, she will be anxious to save her sister……” The regent said, “This is a good plan.” …… Qiao Jinniang and Lu Chen strolled around the capital of Xiliang Kingdom. When Qiao Jinniang saw the people here, they all listened to the words of the imperial tutor. The people of Xiliang Kingdom had never seen a magic trick, so they treated the National Master’s Magic Trick as an immortal magic trick. The Regent King was more and more loved by the people of Xiliang Kingdom, and it was also because of the National Master. “The National Master said that recently, there was a strange phenomenon. The National Treasure of Xiliang Kingdom, the thousand-year-old Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus, was stolen. If this snow lotus doesn’t return soon, our Xiliang Kingdom will be destroyed!” “Ah! A treasure like the thousand-year-old snow lotus of the Tianshan Mountains, how could it be stolen by someone!” “The Imperial Tutor knows immortal magic and has been in seclusion for so long. Could it be that he can’t snatch back the snow lotus of the Tianshan Mountains?” The people of Xiliang were all panicking. Lu Chen and Qiao Jinniang looked at each other and said, “It’s better not to stay here for too long.” The snow lotus of the Tianshan Mountains was no longer in Xiliang. At this moment, the Regent King and the imperial tutor were deliberately mystifying things, not just to deceive the people. Qiao Jinniang nodded. The two of them went to see the king of Xiliang and exchanged the national letter. They left Xiliang and returned to Yunzhou. The crown prince was going to visit Xiliang, so the army was naturally waiting at the border. Third Master Qiao went forward and said, “It’s great that the crown prince and the Crown Princess’grandson have returned safely.” Lu Chen said to third master qiao, “Third Uncle, there’s no need to disband the army. Pass down the order. I’m afraid there’s a tough battle to be fought in Xiliang!” Third Master Qiao laughed heartily and said, “When Western Liang killed my father and uncle, I was still young. I couldn’t take revenge with Big Brother. We’ve been waiting for a long time to go to Western Liang!” Lu Chen turned to Qiao Jinniang and said, “Take Xi’er and go to the Qiao family’s residence first. Third uncle and I will stay at the front line.” Qiao jinniang said, “The battlefield is dangerous, you……” “Just as you said, you can’t be a coward, let alone an orphan. Be Obedient.” Qiao jinniang said, “Then I’ll go to the back and prepare provisions and clothes for you. The climate in Western Liang is changeable. Although Yunzhou is hot, it will be a cold day in Western Liang in December. You have to wear winter clothes.” Third master Qiao said, “His Majesty has already ordered people to prepare these provisions. The provisions and military uniforms arrived before you. Originally, he was afraid that the Crown Prince would be in danger in Western Liang, so he has already prepared provisions to attack Western Liang.” Qiao Jinniang was relieved. She only said, “It is beneficial to be more vigilant.” Qiao Jinniang and Lu Xi had just arrived at the Yun province Qiao Manor when a messenger came to report: The state preceptor of Western Liang had figured out that the crown prince and his people had stolen the thousand-year-old treasure of the Snowy Lotus of Tianshan. Hence, the king of Western Liang had already given the order to let the Western Liang army attack Yun Province. Great Tang had always been unwilling to take the initiative to attack unless they attacked our borders. When the Western Liang army sent a letter of challenge, Yun Province responded with a letter of challenge. When Qiao Jinniang heard that Xiliang had gathered nearly 200,000 soldiers, and the Qiao family only had 100,000 soldiers in Yunzhou, she could not help but feel a little worried. Moreover, although Xiliang was a barbarian without education, it was extremely fierce in fighting. The people on the border of Yunzhou had not encountered a war for a long time. They all panicked and fled in all directions. Some strong men also began to fight for things. When Qiao Jinniang heard the report from Yu Yan, she frowned and said, “Close the gate of Yunzhou. I’m going to the city gate of Yunzhou.” “Your Highness…… It’s dangerous outside. Those people who are running for their lives might not be able to listen to you.”. Qiao jinniang said, “I have to go!” Qiao Jinniang went to the city gate of Yunzhou. Below her was a group of people crying and complaining, “Why aren’t you letting us go? We have to run for Our Lives! Why did your Highness steal someone else’s national treasure?” “That’s right, that’s right. Yunzhou city hasn’t fought a war for so many years. I heard that there are 200,000 soldiers in Xiliang, but we only have 100,000. That’s half of it. How can we win?” “Locking us in Yunzhou city is taking our lives!” “Let’s rush out!”
