Chapter 1690

One military order after another was issued from Gao Yang's mouth, and Li Chengye began to execute them unconditionally.

Camels stepped into Yanmen Commandery, and a large amount of baggage and grain was concentrated in Yanmen Commandery.

The elite border troops also arrived at Yanmen Pass nearby!

At the same time, the entire Great Qian, under Wu Zhao's will, turned into a ruthless war machine and began to operate crazily...

Great Qian.

Changancheng.

Song family.

Song Li, wearing bright red official robes, got off a luxurious carriage and entered the mansion.

His brows were tightly furrowed, as if he were lost in deep thought.

"Father, have you returned from the morning court?"

Song Qingqing saw Song Li and hurriedly walked toward him, asking with full concern.

Song Li looked up when he heard this, and when he saw it was Song Qingqing, he responded faintly: "Hmm."

This attitude was not warm, making Song Qingqing feel a bit aggrieved, but she dared not speak.

Because she knew the reason for it.

Gao Yang's great victory in Hexi was spread throughout Changancheng, and countless people shouted Gao Yang's name.

This battle not only avenged Gao Linyuan but also raised the national prestige of Great Qian and established great merit once again.

There were rumors among the people calling Gao Yang the strongest Prime Minister and the strongest poison scholar!

Every time Gao Yang shone, the Song family's face hurt even more!

How could Song Li be in a good mood?

Song Qingqing's heart was also extremely bitter; who could have thought that the prodigal son who once wrote "Looking at the stone from afar, it is big; looking at the big stone from near, it is big" would have such achievements today?

She, Song Qingqing, was once a talented woman, and her family background was extremely prominent. Although her appearance could not compare to that Shangguan Wan'er, in the entire Changancheng, she also crushed too many young ladies of noble families.

Substituting it, her choice was understandable, but her mistake was that she shouldn't have kicked someone while they were down, causing the entire Dingguo Duke Mansion to lose face.

It can only be said that the world is impermanent and fortune plays with people.

Song Li looked up, and when he saw the grievance on Song Qingqing's face and her fingers intertwined, almost tying themselves into a knot.

He laughed dumbly and said, "Qingqing, do you think your father is blaming you?"

Song Qingqing subconsciously looked up when she heard this, but did not speak.

Song Li sighed and said, "The matter of breaking off the engagement, how could you be the only one to decide? This was the decision of our entire Song family. Even if we pay a huge price, even if the Song family is destroyed because of this, it must never be counted on you alone."

Song Qingqing's eyes turned slightly red upon hearing this.

"Father..."

"Then why are you unhappy and ignoring your daughter?"

Speaking of this, Song Li's expression became more solemn.

"Father is thinking about some things, and I always feel that something big is going to happen."

"Something big happens?" Song Qingqing looked puzzled, "Now the Xiongnu Chanyu has been slapped in the face by Gao Yang, and the entire Hexi land has been killed back and forth by Gao Yang, and the army is about to return to the court. Where does something big come from?"

Song Li heard this and looked at Song Qingqing, saying, "After the news of the great victory returned, since that day, General Wang, General Lu, and the Duke of Protecting the Country have all disappeared, and have not appeared until now, nor have they attended court."

Song Li spoke with a profound look, as if something huge had happened.

"Father, this is nothing, right?"

"Nothing?"

Song Li's voice rose, and his expression became more serious.

"Just talking about this point, it is just a small coincidence, but if I say that His Majesty has issued more than a dozen secret edicts, and grain and grass in Changan are constantly being transported to the local areas, and Gao Yang has not yet returned to the court, and there is not even half a message about his return."

"Do you still think it is a small coincidence?"

Song Qingqing was suddenly stunned upon hearing this.

"According to our Great Qian rules, after a great victory, the main general cannot stay in the border commandery for long and must return to the court as quickly as possible."

"But how long has it been now?"

"Since the news reached Changancheng, it has been a full half a month!"

"That Gao Yang has always been lustful, and how can the women in the border commandery compare to those in Changancheng? But the army raided Hexi, and until now, how long has he been holding back? Why hasn't he returned to Changan?"

Song Qingqing was also stunned when she heard this.

What Song Li said was extremely reasonable; this is not Gao Yang's nature!

Calculating the time carefully, Gao Yang should have returned with great fanfare, wearing that black iron armor that shines bright enough to blind people, long ago!

"Father thinks?"

"One coincidence is just a coincidence, but with so many coincidences superimposed, I'm afraid it is not a coincidence..."

"Recently, His Majesty's edicts have come one after another, not knowing where they are going. The officials in the court have long been dissatisfied and wanted to go to His Majesty to ask for an explanation, but they have all been shut out."

"I feel that something huge must have happened! I'm afraid that this time the Xiongnu Chanyu wants to let it go, but His Majesty is not willing to let it go either!"

Song Li's expression was murderous, and his eyes were flickering extremely.

Buzz!

Once these words were spoken, Song Qingqing was also shocked.

"Father, are you saying that a great war is about to start?" Song Qingqing looked shocked.

At this time.

Yan Zheng strode into the mansion, and his voice rang out, "Minister Song, His Majesty has issued eighteen secret edicts, none of which passed through my Censorate, and grain and grass in various places have been frequently mobilized!"

"Do you know what I learned when I went outside the Imperial Study to ask His Majesty for an explanation?"

Song Li's heart tightened, and he said, "What?"

"His Majesty has decided to take the initiative and take the Hexi land!"

"His Majesty said that Hexi is the back of Great Qian; losing Hexi means Great Qian's spine is broken, so His Majesty decided to fight this battle. This battle is not for expanding territory, but for Great Qian to stand tall for all generations!" ===== CHAPTER 1692 =====
