Chapter 575

Summer.

Since the defeat six months ago, summer has been shaking from top to bottom.

Even knowing that the ancient people were good at fighting, hundreds of thousands of troops and horses planned for a long time, but they were defeated by 50000, leaving less than 200000 back. This can be said to be the only big defeat in recent decades.

Not to mention that the troops led by Feiqi and Li Qianqiu also looted several cities in Daxia, which terrified a large area of the south.

After Fei rode away, Da Xia raised unspeakable anger from top to bottom.

People in many places were filled with emotions, especially among scholars. However, there was no action in the summer for half a year, which disappointed many people and turned the spearhead to the court.

It is not that no one knows the embarrassment of the court, but more people still complain to the court. After all, it has never been robbed by barbarians in the hinterland.

First there was a great defeat, and then the enemy ran rampant in the territory, but there was nothing he could do. For Xia, who thinks highly of himself, it seems to rub his face on the ground.

"It's not the time to say it every day. I can't share this matter. I can't find any way. What's the use I want you to do?" The roar of the Xia emperor sounded in the conference hall of the great Xia Dynasty, and the guards outside the hall subconsciously shrunk their necks.

In the past six months, the Xia emperor has often been angry, which is normal. Almost every few days, someone in the palace was killed alive because of his anger.

At the same time, since the two times of vomiting and fainting, his physical condition has become worse and worse. Xia Huang, who had only a few hundred hair, now has more than half of his hair white, haggard face and sunken eyes.

"Your Majesty, now the imperial court has heavy taxes, and many places have complained that they can't increase taxes any more! If they don't increase taxes, it will be difficult to raise military food and armaments; moreover, it will take a long time for recruits to be recruited and trained, and they can't go south for at least two years.

Now there are two kingdoms of Yun and Chen outside the barbarians, and there is a place of heavenly scenery inside. We can't recover in a short time. It's the best time for us to rest. After two years, with each passing day, we will be able to wipe it out at one fell swoop. "

An old man said calmly. He was used to the emperor's anger for three days and two days, so he was not afraid.

There was only some sigh in his heart. His majesty, who was still brave in those years, inevitably became so as he grew older. Although outsiders didn't know, seeing the changes in the past six months and saying disrespectful words, he felt that his Majesty was becoming more and more fatuous.

Fortunately, the prince is still brave. After a hundred years, the prince can afford the overall situation.

Looking at your Majesty's bones, I'm afraid it's only a few years.

"Wait, wait, wait, you say you want to wait every day. How can I wait? What do people say about me now? Don't I know? And you, Prime Minister!" Xia Bailong snorted heavily, his face turned red, and the bottom of his eyes was full of blood. He was almost crazy at the thought of the news.

"Your Majesty, calm down first. Such anger is bad for your health." Another old man hurriedly said that after the two vomiting and fainting, Xia Bailong fainted several times in the past six months. They had to take care of the emperor's body carefully. They hid a lot from him, but how can they hide it?

Especially the revenge on Dayao has become a thorn in his heart.

"Your Majesty, those are only provoked by those who have a heart. If your majesty is angry, they will be right in their arms." Qi Mingtang, known as the Prime Minister of shrinking head, said faintly.

"Hum!" Xia Bailong snorted again and said, "now all cattle, ghosts and snake gods have emerged, but they have lost a battle. They really think my summer is not good? Have you found anything?"

"They are well organized. They caught some people and poisoned themselves. However, the minister has found some eyebrows recently. In a few days, he may be able to find the people behind these ghost tricks." Another middle-aged humanist, who has a brave face, white face and long beard, gives people a sense of dignity.

"Give you another month to find out who is making trouble anyway!" Xia Bailong said, and then covered his head with his hand. He just lost his temper and immediately felt a splitting headache.

At this time, in the palace, a eunuch was walking somewhere. Seeing that there was no one around, he flashed into the woods and found a small cylinder from the secret place. There was a square box tied outside the cylinder. After clicking on the box, the countdown was displayed on it.

After all this, he stuffed the cylinder and box back, went out of the secret place and went straight to the next place.

It took two months to send these things to the palace in batches and hide them everywhere. Now it's time to use them at last.

He didn't know what to do with these strange things. But he knew that after four hours, something big would happen that would shake the world.

My mission has always been to this moment.

Thinking of this, his eyes seemed to glow.

Five others, eunuchs and maids, did the same.

Two hours later, two of them changed their clothes through the route arranged in advance, hid under the car delivering meat to the palace and left the palace.

Another hour later, three more people left in different ways.

Only the last person, a maid whose appearance is not very outstanding, but whose eyes are very bright and unforgettable at a glance, sat quietly in the yard, waiting to witness what will happen with her own eyes.

"Qinglian, I'm afraid you'll be scolded if your mother finds out like this." A maid came by and immediately reminded her.

This maid, who never disputes anything and always only does her own things, many people don't want to see her punished in this cruel palace.

"Just scold!" Qinglian smiled and pulled her hair. Her smile was particularly bright.

"You..." the maid was stunned and couldn't understand what had happened to her. "Are you crazy? Don't go quickly. If you're uncomfortable, go back to your room and have a rest. If you're called, I'll help you get rid of it."

"Thank you, sister Ling Yue." Qinglian said with another smile, "but I'm leaving soon. So don't get involved with me. If someone asks, just say it“

"Go? Where can you go? You don't want to commit suicide? Are you crazy? Your mother is nice to you. Although the palace is not very free, you have enough to eat, warm clothes and light work. What can't you see?" The maid was startled.

Qinglian's smile suddenly froze. Did she say anything to kill herself? Did you overdo it?

But still with a smile and a kind reminder: "something big may happen in the palace later. My sister should protect herself."

With his words, all over the palace, cylinders hidden in secret places suddenly burst open.

"Bang!" The explosion sounded one after another.

"What's the sound? Go and have a look“

At the same time, I don't know how many escort maids went straight to the place where the explosion just happened.

Before running a few steps, I smelled a suffocating smell. One by one, they stood in place and vomited violently like being swung in the forehead by a sledgehammer.

Some maids fell directly to the ground and fainted.

This smell can only be found in the sky. How many times can we smell it in the world? It permeates the whole palace.

Xia Huang, who had just drunk a bowl of medicine and looked a little better, was in the room when he heard the noise outside. Before he scolded, the smell went into the room from the window and into his nose.

Xia Huang only felt bursts of suffocation, and fainted before he came up.
