Chapter 672 Jealousy
Aaliya woke up from her coma and entered the familiar palace.
Nothing seemed to have changed, everything last night seemed like a dream.
But after all, the faint smell of blood reminded Aaliya what really happened.
"Hanyang Jun!"
Aaliyah got up from the bed and stepped on the cold floor with her plain white feet, eagerly looking for the figure.
In the corridor, that figure is standing there, and what is Xiao Li saying to him?
Aaliyah didn't understand the relationship between the two of them, but it seemed that Xiao Li was very respectful to him.
"Hanyang Jun!"
Aaliyah let out a soft cry, and the figure turned around, with a smile on his face.
"Aaliyah!"
After not seeing each other for many years, Aaliyah was a little hesitant, but with this sound, all her nervousness and doubts were thrown aside.
Aaliyah took a few quick steps and trotted over.
"This is related to the whole world. The arrival of the power of darkness last night was a sign. Loulan is now in great danger, but they don't know it. You have the inheritance from ancient times, and work with me to resolve this disaster. .This is our mission.”
Aaliyah listened carefully and seemed to understand. But when Zhao Shuang faced the girl's sincere eyes, he showed no signs of wavering.
"I am already so old, but I am still going into this muddy water. Young people, you must take responsibility."
Xiao Li, who has always been cold and frosty, seemed very embarrassed during the conversation with Zhao Shuang. Xiao Li has seen all kinds of people since she landed in the world, but she has never seen anyone like Zhao Shuang.
"But I need your help."
"Zhao is nearly 40 years old. He is old and can no longer keep up with his energy. The world belongs to you young people. As a girl, isn't it a piece of cake to deal with these young people?"
Xiao Li stared at the person in front of him, somewhat confused.
The dark force last night, using Chi You's blood as a medium, wanted to turn everyone in the city into sacrifices to increase its power.
Xiao Li saw with his own eyes how the man in front of him resolved the crisis with one person and saved the entire city.
But now, why doesn't he promise himself? Doesn't he understand that once a crisis strikes, he can't survive alone?
Aaliyah looked at this scene, smiled, and said something in Xiao Li's ear.
After hearing this, Xiao Li took a deep breath, looked at Zhao Shuang again, and knelt on the ground with one knee.
"If you are willing to help, Xiao Li is willing to protect you for the rest of his life!"
Zhao Shuang scratched his head, why did this guy's attitude change so drastically?
Aaliyah did not expect that she originally asked Xiao Li to give out something important enough to make a deal with Zhao Shuang and asked him to agree, but she did not expect that Xiao Li would lose herself.
"Xiao Li!"
"The most important thing for Xiao Li is himself. I am willing to protect you for the rest of my life."
Zhao Shuang is a bit confused. There is already a lot of jealousy in the family. If someone hears about it, he will be able to deal with it. Seeing that there were gradually more people around, especially people from the Yin Yang Family and the Mo Family, Zhao Shuang waved his hand.
"You get up first!"
But the upright Xiao Li didn't understand the situation at all. After listening to Aaliyah's words, he made up his mind.
"If your Majesty doesn't agree, I won't get up."
As he said this, Xiao Li stared at Zhao Shuang with his big eyes.
"I promise you, why not!"
…
"Your Majesty, after last night's chaos, more than 5,000 people were killed and injured in the Yuezhi King's City. Some of them had their blood drained out, and their deaths were extremely horrific."
Mo Ya led the Xuanwu Guards and arrived at the Yuezhi King's City one step behind Zhao Shuang. Now, together with Zhao Shuang's subordinates in the city and Mo Xia around them, they temporarily controlled the situation and took control of the city.
Among them, some died because of rebellion, and some died as sacrifices.
"This is not a small number!"
In the palace, Xiao Li always followed Zhao Shuang. Zhao Shuang has agreed to her, and Xiao Li has been patient enough.
Aaliyah sat next to Zhao Shuang, listening to Mo Ya's words, with a painful expression on her face.
Most of Aaliyah's courtiers participated in last night's rebellion.
In addition to the three thousand elite guards directly affiliated with the royal family, there are also seven thousand city defense troops in the city. There are still 20,000 string controllers surrounding the royal city.
After the rebellion of the four great princes, Aliya transferred the 20,000 string-controllers to Chubiju. However, with the rebellion of the guard leader Takemu, including a large number of Yueshi subjects, the royal city's guarding force and ruling power were weakened.
"Aliya, now we need to gather the guards loyal to you as soon as possible to restore order. Only you can do this to appease the people in the city."
"I see."
Aaliyah looked at the man in front of her. As long as he was there, she would be able to survive any hardship. She stood up and walked out of the palace with her loyal guards.
As Queen Yuezhi left, the palace fell silent, Mo Ya lowered his head and suppressed his voice.
"Your Majesty, all of us who were tracking Tudor are dead."
"How did you die?"
"I personally went to investigate, but they didn't clean up the bodies, or in other words, they didn't care about us knowing at all. Judging from the traces at the scene, the two brothers were attacked from both sides by Tudor and another person, and they were fatally struck with one blow. The other person should It’s Chong Ming, the Shushan traitor we’ve been tracking down.”
Zhao Shuang looked serious and murmured. For these two people who have never met before to unite, all Zhao Shuang can think of is two words.
"Loulan!"
What Zhao Shuang said moved Xiao Li, who had been silent just now.
"Now the four major Xihous of the Yuezhi and King Wusun have led a group of soldiers and horses from small countries in the Western Regions to block the Yumen. While blocking the trade route, they also cut off the access to the Western Regions. We have to deal with Loulan's side. To solve the problem, we must first deal with this group of troops."
Now 80,000 troops are blocked outside, and people eat horses and chews every day, which is a huge consumption. Nomadic forces like the Xiongnu, Yuezhi, and Wusun were behemoths in the Western Regions.
Compared with the Qin army, these nomadic forces have military advantages, but this advantage is only relative.
In order to supply their own soldiers and horses, their tribes would also migrate and follow the army.
Only by continuing to advance, eventually occupying the Yuezhi King's City, and even attacking Jincheng, and obtaining a large amount of food and supplies, can this military operation be successful and quell the grievances of the tribesmen who have traveled a long distance.
This is both motivation and pressure.
"Your Majesty, the Xihai Cavalry and the Jincheng Cavalry have gathered one after another and are heading here. Do you want them to speed up their journey?"
"There are only 80,000 Huqi, why is this necessary?"
Zhao Shuang smiled slightly and didn't take it seriously.
Mo Ya didn't understand. The Yuezhi's army alone was no match for those rebels.
"How does your general defeat the enemy?"
"One person is enough!"
