Chapter 60 [Shock! Shock! Shock! ]

"Good news from the southwest, 800 miles away, send it to the capital immediately!"

On the post road, a man and a horse came galloping.

Before anyone arrives, the sound comes first.

When it got closer, the horse was exhausted and fell to the ground instantly, foaming at the mouth.

The man leaped onto the horse that had been prepared at the post station, waved the whip, and galloped away quickly.

Along the way, we traveled 800 miles in an expedited manner, changed crews three times, and killed five horses.

The news finally reached Kyoto.

In Kyoto, there was heavy rain.

The soldiers at the city gate heard sounds coming from the rain from afar.

"Southwest war report, urgent, eight hundred miles away!"

"Open the door quickly!"

"Get out of the way!"

For a moment, the soldiers guarding the city gate did not dare to delay in the slightest. They immediately opened the gate and cleared the road.

The horses galloped, puddles formed on the ground, and dirty water splashed everywhere.

The news from the Southwest War quickly spread in Kyoto.

There are many speculations from all sides.

At the city gate, soldiers watched the horses heading toward the palace. In the pouring rain, they whispered:

"I'm afraid that all six thousand people were wiped out..."

Most people in Kyoto make this guess.

Soon, Emperor Qing ordered all officials to enter the palace.

In the heavy rain, carriages headed towards the palace.

Royal Villa.

"Wan'er, the battle report has been sent to the palace via an express route of eight hundred miles.

Your Majesty has ordered all civil and military officials to enter the palace."

In the dim light, Lin Wan'er and Ye Ling'er listened to the rain intently.

However, the two of them have complicated thoughts.

"It's raining so heavily today..." Lin Wan'er sighed.

In fact, she had a bad feeling in her heart.

If all 6,000 men were wiped out and returned in defeat, it would be a great disgrace not only to the crown prince, but also to the royal family, the Kingdom of Qing, and the entire court.

By then, the prince will probably be severely punished.

"Six thousand against fifty thousand, there is no chance of winning. However, the news of this battle spread back too quickly..." Ye Ling'er muttered.

Lin House.

Yuan Hongdao watched the carriage go away, his brows slightly furrowed.

"I'm afraid it will be a disastrous defeat..."

In the carriage, Lin Ruofu closed his eyes.

It was raining heavily outside the window, the ground was slippery, and the carriage suddenly skidded.

Not long after.

Royal study room.

Almost all civil and military officials were present.

The rain outside the temple was getting heavier and heavier, making a crackling sound.

"It's raining really hard today."

"Yeah, I'm afraid it's not good news..."

Before Emperor Qing arrived, all the civil and military officials gathered in their own groups.

"Look, those two are here."

In the front position are the prime minister Lin Ruofu and the commander-in-chief of the three armies, General Qin.

In the hall, Emperor Qing gave three people chairs in total.

First, the Privy Councilor and the number one military figure, General Qin Ye.

Second, the head of all officials, Fan Xian’s uncle, Prime Minister Lin Ruofu.

The third person is Chen Pingping, the director of the Inspection Institute, who comes with his own chair.

But today, Chen Pingping was not in Kyoto, so he did not come.

While everyone was waiting to celebrate with Emperor Qing, these three arrived one after another.

At this moment, Qin Ye was sleeping on his back, oblivious to the people around him, snoring loudly.

Even though this was the imperial study, he still slept soundly.

"His Royal Highness is here!"

The eunuch's voice immediately drew many people's attention to the entrance.

I saw Crown Prince Li Chengqian walking slowly towards me.

It seems that he hasn't woken up yet and is a little groggy.

Seeing this situation, many people shook their heads and sighed.

It's already this late and I haven't woken up yet.

I am afraid that in a while, the wrath of thunder will be too much for him to bear.

"His Royal Highness!"

Everyone bowed and saluted.

Li Chengqian returned the greeting perfunctorily and walked towards the center.

"Your Highness!" Lin Ruofu nodded slightly. Qin Ye was still sleeping soundly and did not pay attention to Li Chengqian's arrival.

"Prime Minister Lin!" Li Chengqian returned the greeting and stood aside.

"Your Highness." The Second Prince saluted casually.

Then, he whispered, "Your Highness, do you know whether today's news is good news or bad news?"

Li Chengqian glanced at him and replied:

"What do you think, brother?"

The second prince smiled and said, "I think this is not good news on such a rainy day."

He deliberately lowered his voice so that only the two of them could hear it.

"His Majesty is here!"

At one voice, all civil and military officials knelt.

Only Li Chengqian stood and bowed slightly as a greeting.

"See Your Majesty!"

"You don't have to be polite, this is not the court, please be casual."

Emperor Qing glanced at Li Chengqian and waved his hand casually.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

All the civil and military officials stood up and found a place to stand or sit down.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the entire imperial study suddenly became solemn.

All the civil and military officials stared at Emperor Qing, waiting for him to announce the result.

Emperor Qing was dressed in casual clothes, sitting in the first seat, his eyes sweeping over the civil and military officials below one by one.

“I’m sure you all know why I called you all here today.

Since you are all waiting, I won't beat around the bush."

After saying that, he waved slightly.

The personal eunuch, Eunuch Hou, stepped forward, unfolded the note in his hand, and read:
"Southwest war report: 6,000 troops have defeated the rebels, the Tianya Society has been destroyed, and the leader of the Qian Kingdom has been killed!
In addition, 6,000 soldiers and horses were all injured, but no one died. "

Concise and concise.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was silence in the imperial study, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Shock!

Shock!

Shock!

After a while, the discussion became noisy.

"How can this be!"

"In the end what happened?"

"How can six thousand people defeat fifty thousand desperadoes?"

"..."

All the civil and military officials looked at Li Chengqian.

At this moment, there was awe and curiosity in everyone's eyes.

Donggong Liulu is so powerful?
However, no matter how you think about it, it is still incredible.

Six thousand against fifty thousand, there is no chance of winning.

That’s all for now.

They actually turned defeat into victory and defeated the larger force with a smaller one.

What’s even more outrageous is that among these 6,000 people, not a single one died.

"Your Majesty, could the news be wrong?" Someone mustered up the courage to step forward and ask.

"Yes, after all, they are too far apart, so it is not impossible that the news is wrong." Someone echoed in a low voice.

Emperor Qing hadn't spoken yet, but the old eunuch said:

"My Lords, the three messages have been sent to Kyoto at an urgent rate of a hundred miles, and they are definitely correct.

The Qian Kingdom has been destroyed, and the 50,000 people of the Tianya Society have been completely wiped out.

In the southwest Gobi Desert, human heads are everywhere and blood is staining the yellow sand. This is absolutely true. "

The old eunuch's answer made the atmosphere in the imperial study suddenly become somewhat frozen and depressing.

That’s 50,000 people…

How did they do it with six thousand people?
All the civil and military officials were shocked.

More than that, it's unbelievable.

Because no matter how you look at it, there is no chance of winning this battle.

"Six thousand people, no casualties..."

The voice of the old general Qin Ye echoed in the imperial study and in everyone's heart.

This kind of combat power is truly terrifying.

Better than the Black Knight.

I am afraid that after today, these six thousand people will be the most powerful force in the world.

Sitting on the first seat, Emperor Qing looked at the expressions of the civil and military officials below, as well as their disbelieving faces, and felt secretly happy.

There was a hint of pride on his face.

However, it is very shallow because it is concealed very well.

The eyes of the civil and military officials looking at Li Chengqian were different from before, with a little more awe in them.

However, everyone still found it hard to believe.

This incident is really shocking!
It will definitely leave a heavy mark in history books.
