Chapter 887

Young Master Wubao and Xie Linglong were relieved because of the space, and Mother followed Fourth Brother to go west.

Anyway, they can also enter the space. If they miss their mother, they can enter the space and call out, and mother can hear them.

Lu Jiao packed up her things and went to the gate of the city to meet up with His Majesty and others.

Xiao Wenyu didn't know beforehand that Lu Jiao was going to Lincheng with him, but when Lu Jiao showed up with a bunch of things, he was startled and quickly got off his horse.

"Mrs. Zhou Guo, why are you here?"

In front of all the courtiers, Xiao Wenyu still called Lu Jiao Mrs. Zhou Guo according to the rules.

Lu Jiao looked at him with a smile and said, "Although my wife is incapable of fighting, she is good at medicine, so I decided to accompany Your Majesty on the western expedition."

After hearing Lu Jiao's words, the courtiers behind Xiao Wenyu breathed a sigh of relief. With Mrs. Zhou Guo present, His Majesty's safety is safer.

Another Mrs. Zhou Guo is very skilled in medicine. She is by His Majesty's side. If His Majesty is injured, she can treat His Majesty as soon as possible. This is quite good.

But Xiao Wenyu didn't agree with Lu Jiao following him to the west.

"Mrs. Zhou Guo hurried back, this matter is not a trifling matter."

Xiao Wenyu was afraid that he would run into danger. Although her mother was good at medicine, she didn't know martial arts. If she ran into danger here, he couldn't explain it to his father and brothers.

Lu Jiao looked at Xiao Wenyu stubbornly: "Your Majesty, the minister's wife has made a decision, please Your Majesty to fulfill it."

Xiao Wenyu raised his eyes and saw the firmness in Lu Jiao's eyes.

He knew that his mother was worried about him going to the West Expedition alone, so he decided to go with him.

Xiao Wenyu was very moved. At the same time, he also knew that it was impossible to change what his mother had decided.

If he disagrees, his mother will follow their army to Lincheng later.

It's just that his mother went to the west to march, does his father know?

Xiao Wenyu quickly raised his head and glanced at Xie Yunjin among the courtiers.

I found that although Mr. Xie seemed to disapprove, but he didn't stop it after all, it showed that he also agreed.

Xiao Wenyu knew how much his father loved their mother, but now for him, he agreed to let his mother follow him to the west expedition.

It can be seen that his father also loves him in his heart.

Xiao Wenyu forcibly suppressed the agitation in his heart, and bowed respectfully: "I thank Mrs. Zhou Guo."

Then got on his horse, and the army set off to Lincheng.

But after walking for a while, Xiao Wenyu thought of the empress dowager behind the Zhao family. If it wasn't for the connivance of the empress dowager, how could the Zhao family be so bold and reckless, not only dared to poison his father, but also dared to send troops to surround the nest to assassinate him.

When Xiao Wenyu thought of this, he hated that old woman so much.

He ordered Mo Bei in a deep voice: "Lead a team of elite soldiers to pick up the Empress Dowager, the Zhao family is plotting rebellion, how can the Empress Dowager stay out of it."

Mo Bei took the order and left, and brought the Empress Dowager back two days later.

At this time, the Empress Dowager was like a dog in the water, she was very old and haggard.

She didn't expect that the Zhao family would rebel. If the Zhao family rebelled, she, the daughter of the Zhao family, was also a sinner.

Originally, the Empress Dowager decided to hide and not appear in front of Jinjin for the rest of her life, but she never thought that Jinjin would send someone to pick her up.

The Empress Dowager didn't know what to do here to pick her up now.

"I don't know why Your Majesty brought Ai's family here?"

Sitting on the horse, Xiao Wenyu condescendingly looked down at Mrs. Zhao who was on the opposite carriage. If it wasn't for her, the emperor wouldn't have passed away at such a young age.

Xiao Wenyu hated the old woman opposite, how could it make her feel better.

He looked coldly at the Empress Dowager opposite, and said in a deep voice: "The Zhao family is plotting a rebellion. As the daughter of the Zhao family, the Empress Dowager intends to take you to Lincheng and persuade Duke Zhao and his son to surrender before the battle."

The empress dowager's face turned pale instantly. Since the Zhao family had rebelled against her, how could they listen to her persuasion to surrender? Xiao Wenyu took her with him, obviously taking the opportunity to take revenge on her.

The more the Empress Dowager thought about it, the more frightened she became, she fixedly looked at Xiao Wenyu.

This kid who didn't know where he came from actually ascended to the throne of the Xiao family and even forced the Zhao family back.

If it wasn't for his father and him, how could the Zhao family rebel.

They recruited Zhao's daughter, but they repeatedly manipulated Zhao's daughter to prevent Zhao's daughter from being pregnant with the blood of the Xiao family. They clearly wanted to liquidate the Zhao family, so how could the Zhao family not move.

Even though the Empress Dowager thought so, she didn't dare to show it. She is no longer the Queen Mother she was before. The Zhao family has rebelled, so she can only behave with her tail in her arms.

"Your Majesty, the Ai family is just a woman. Since the Zhao family intends to rebel, how could they listen to the Ai family's persuasion to surrender? Your Majesty still asks the Ai family to go back and pray for His Majesty."

Xiao Wenyu laughed mockingly, and reminded Mrs. Zhao coldly: "If Ms. Zhao is stubborn and insists on plotting rebellion, you are a sinner."

With one word, the Empress Dowager's dream was interrupted, and at the same time, she was told that if the Zhao family rebelled, the Empress Dowager would also suffer.

Zhao was dumb for an instant.

Xiao Wenyu ignored her and waved his hand to order the army to set off.

He led a team of cavalry to set off non-stop week and night, and rushed to Lincheng.

The magistrate of Lincheng first received the order sent by His Majesty to send it quickly, and stick to Lincheng. If he defends Lincheng, His Majesty will give him a lot of rewards.

Lincheng is far away from the capital, and it is a relatively poor place. The people who can be officials here are basically people with no background, and there is no official who does not want to climb up.

The prefect of Lincheng received His Majesty's order and felt that his opportunity had come, how could he let it go.

He dispatched troops and generals, not only using all the generals in Lincheng, but also mobilizing the common people, so that all the men in Lincheng participated in the battle.

In this way, Lincheng resisted for five full days without breaking through, and finally it seemed that it was about to break through.

The Northwest Army dispatched by the Northwest arrived.

Seeing that he was about to lose, Zhao Guogong immediately retreated to Dingcheng and stood firm.

Xiao Wenyu also rushed to Lincheng with the army.

In front of the gate of Lincheng, the prefect of Lincheng led the officials, as well as General Feng and several generals of the Northwest Army to welcome them at the gate of the city. Among them, Erbao was also there. He was the vanguard general this time.

As soon as Xiao Wenyu came over, everyone went up to meet him.

"The minister waited to see His Majesty."

Xiao Wenyu nodded, glanced at the group of people opposite, and found that everyone was furious, as if they had been beaten to death.

Not only the generals, but also the prefect of Lincheng was full of excitement, as if waiting to go to battle.

Xiao Wenyu nodded in satisfaction: "Everyone, get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Xiao Wenyu led a group of soldiers into the city, followed by everyone behind.

Lu Jiao, the Empress Dowager and others have not arrived yet.

As soon as Xiao Wenyu entered the city, he asked about the situation of the people in the city. Knowing that the casualties were not serious, Xiao Wenyu was very happy. He not only praised the magistrate, but also praised the people in Lincheng for their stability in the face of danger: "As expected of the people of my Great Zhou Dynasty. , are good men, I will make my own decision later."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The magistrate and other officials shouted loudly, all of them were in a turbulent mood.

A group of people entered the city, and both sides of the streets in the city were crowded with common people, all of them eagerly wanted to see His Majesty's voice and appearance, and heard that His Majesty was personally marching, this may be the only time they saw His Majesty in their lives.
