Jinyiwei's psychic case: the opening is Lingbo Weibu

Chapter 1048

"Your Highness, are you still troubled by the traitor Xu's wreaking havoc in eastern Shu?"

As Shi Qingdai frowned in a daze, a pair of large hands gently pressed on her temples.

Shi Qing, who did not turn his head, closed his eyes in obvious enjoyment and immediately hummed through his nose.

Then she added, "I cannot sleep or eat in peace until the traitor Xu is eliminated."

After she finished speaking, the owner of the large hand slowly leaned down and whispered in her ear, "Your Highness is overthinking it."

"This time, Guo Yijing led the main force of the Wudang Flying Army into eastern Sichuan, along with Chief Huang and the elders of the Beggars' Sect..."

"With Elder Hong in charge and Governor Shi attacking from both sides, that Xu lackey is doomed!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Qing, whose lips curled into a slightly wicked smile, slowly raised her eyes to glance at this presumptuous man.

Then, he patted his arm, which was bulging with veins and looked very strong, and said, "I hope it is as General Cao said."

The man was none other than Cao Ming, who commanded the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and was also responsible for the security of the Shu King's Palace.

Compared to the fat and greasy Zhu Wuji, General Cao, who was a military general with considerable strength, could sometimes provide Shi Qing with physical and mental comfort.

Of course, more importantly, with him by Zhu Wuji's side, the King of Shu's every move could not escape Shi Qing's eyes.

"King of Shu, how is it over there?"

"Still the same old thing—a meat pond and a fish forest. However, these past few days I've been keeping He Zhishan, who was just recalled to Shu, with me."

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Qing's usually stern gaze was instantly replaced by a cold and stern expression.

As she glanced at Cao Ming, the latter immediately wiped the smile off his face and said, "Your Highness, you are surrounded by my men. Please rest assured!"

"Judging from their attitude, they all seem to be giving up entirely."

"Keep a close eye on them. Once we've dealt with this Imperial Envoy Xu, the next strike will be against these corrupt scholars."

"Yes."

Previously, no reason or entry point could be found. But this time is different; how could the gentry of Shu Commandery have betrayed their own people and colluded with the court?

This gave Shi Qing an opportunity to act with a legitimate reason.

"Report."

Just as Cao Minggang finished speaking, a piercing report suddenly rang out from outside the door.

"What's wrong? Why are you so panicked?"

Seeing the guard rushing to deliver the message, Cao Ming immediately reprimanded him.

"Reporting to General Cao, an urgent message from Kuimen."

"Huh? Kuimen? What happened to Kuimen?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Qing, who had been sitting there calmly, immediately stood up, took a few steps forward, and loudly questioned him.

"Your Highness, the Kuimen Pass has fallen."

"Five days ago, Imperial Envoy Xu Shan led his troops in a surprise attack on the Qutang Gorge, coordinating with the naval forces of the two lakes and rivers from within and without."

"Kuimen... has fallen."

'boom.'

'Pah-ta-ta.'

Upon hearing this, Shi Qing staggered back several steps.

My head was buzzing at that moment.

Kuimen Gate has fallen? Shu Commandery's gateway is wide open?

"princess!"

Upon seeing this, Cao Ming and Granny Shi rushed forward.

Shi Qing, snapping out of his daze, roared hysterically, "Are Liu He and the others useless?"

"How could we possibly allow Xu Shan to lead his troops in a surprise attack?"

"And what's going on with the Jiujiang navy? Why did they allow the navies of the two lakes to invade Shu?"

"Does Prince Ning not know the meaning of 'if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold'?"

As Shi Qing roared these words, another report suddenly rang out.

"Report!"

"Urgent report from Jiangzhou."

What happened in Jiangzhou?

"Reporting to General Cao, the naval forces of the two lakes who entered Shu, together with the garrison of Jiangzhou, launched a pincer attack on the main force of the Shu County navy."

"As a result, the Shu Commandery's navy suffered heavy losses. Grand Commander Shi Qianhua was forced to break out to the south and retreat into the Ten Thousand Beast Ridge under the cover of the Hundred Beast Valley."

'boom. ’

'Clatter.'

Upon hearing this, Shi Qing flew into a rage and smashed the table beside him, then said, "One wrong step leads to another."

"Report!"

"Ok?"

"Wanzhou urgent news."

"Wan, what happened in Wanzhou?"

"Imperial Envoy Xu Shan led his troops to remonstrate with Wanzhou."

"Wan, Wanzhou City has fallen."

"Wanzhou has fallen too?"

"Where is Guo Yijing? Where is his Wudang Flying Army?"

"Where is Huang Ruyan? And where are the Beggars' Sect disciples she led?"

“Wanzhou City is under the jurisdiction of Elder Hong.”

With such a large force, Shi Qing never expected that Wanzhou would still fall.

Previous reports said that several of the Embroidered Uniform Guard's spies had already been eliminated.

Even the remnants of the Donglin Party who came with Xu Shan personally wrote a "Proclamation Against Xu".

Is Hong Qiweng going to use the prisoners of the Embroidered Uniform Guard as bait to completely eliminate the traitor Xu?

The situation is very good.

How did it fall?

"Replying to Your Highness, General Guo and Chief Huang were both killed by Xu Shan."

"The Wudang Flying Army and Beggar Clan disciples were brutally slaughtered by the Big Sword Battalion, the A Battalion, and the B Battalion."

"Even Senior Hong..."

"What happened to Elder Hong?"

"He was forced to self-destruct his dantian by Xu Shan's troops."

"Although Xu Shan was seriously injured, he was old and passed away."

'Clap. '

Upon hearing this, Shi Qing seemed to have lost her soul, her whole body going limp. If it weren't for Cao Ming and Granny Shi supporting her, she would have collapsed onto the chair.

"Shu, eastern Shu is finished. Eastern Shu is completely finished."

"Report!"

"Valley of Beasts, urgent dispatch from 800 li away."

"Ok?"

"What's up with Hundred Beast Valley?"

"It belongs to Grand Admiral Shi Qianhua of the Navy. Please have Your Highness check it personally."

After he finished speaking, Cao Ming quickly took it and handed it to Shi Qing.

After reading it quickly, the latter's expression softened slightly.

"Your Highness, what do you think of the Valley of a Hundred Beasts?"

"After Shi Qianhua led the remnants of his navy into Ten Thousand Beasts Ridge, he and the people of Hundred Beasts Valley dealt a heavy blow to the Jiangzhou pursuers, temporarily stabilizing the situation."

"However, Xu Shan has already personally arrived in Jiangzhou, intending to raise an army to attack Hundred Beast Valley."

"Shi Qianhua, I hope we can provide some restraint on the northeastern side of Shu and send reinforcements to Hundred Beast Valley."

"Your Highness, what should we do now?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Qing, who had regained her 'queen' aura, said with a solemn expression, "You will now personally lead the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to Dazhou."

"We must contain Wanzhou. Ideally, we should force the heavy troops gathered in Jiangzhou to return to reinforce it."

After saying this, Shi Qing issued several more orders in order to stop Xu Shan from leading his troops westward.

Not daring to delay, Cao Ming immediately left the mansion to carry out the order.

"Your Highness, Hundred Beast Valley is the gateway to southern Sichuan. We must not let Xu Shan attack it."

After he left, Granny Shi said.

"I know."

"But with our current forces, we must be on high alert to defend against Shu in the east. We have no troops available for the time being!"

"Has Your Highness forgotten? Zhang Hai and his former subordinates from the Marquis of Beibo's mansion are in the Death Swamp at the foot of Mount Shu."

“Shunfeng has already pledged allegiance to our Red Miao. If Hundred Beast Valley is lost, they will face the imperial army head-on.”

"The lips are dead and the teeth are cold."

"We can send them to reinforce Hundred Beast Valley."

After Granny Shi finished speaking, Shi Qing nodded emphatically, his eyes lighting up.

“Yes! Granny Shi, you should handle this matter personally.”

"Yes."
