Time Travel to 1859: The Iron-Blooded Soldier King

Rehe, the imperial palace of Emperor Xianfeng.

Xianfeng was in a really good mood these days. Reports of victory from Tongzhou came in one after another. First there was an ambush, then the bridge bombing, and then the British and French forces were repelled at Yangzha. After several battles, the British and French forces suffered at least 7,000 to 8,000 casualties!

It’s so exciting!

Xianfeng had just read the victory report handed to him by Sushun again, and still felt it was not enough, so he asked Concubine Lan to pick up the victory report and read it to him again.

Haha, this Liu Ye is so inspiring. Since he arrived on the battlefield, he has won victory after victory and has never failed. Not to mention now, even from the founding of the Qing Dynasty to the present, I am afraid there is no such undefeated general! Unfortunately, this guy is a little too unruly...

"Tsk tsk, my beloved, how did Liu Ye manage to do it? He always wins every battle, it's truly astonishing, what a talent, what a talent! Unfortunately, he's too stubborn, even daring to disobey my orders. It really makes me feel a little aggrieved!"

Concubine Lan smiled sweetly and replied, "My Lord, look at what you said. Since ancient times, which genius didn't have a distinct personality? Which one didn't have a bad temper? That Yao Qisheng? That Liu Luoguo? And Zuo Zongtang, who is now beginning to show his talent? They all think they are talented and arrogant, and have some temper. It's normal. What's more, Liu Ye is only in his twenties, full of blood and vigor. Slowly, in the court, he will encounter more setbacks and smooth out his edges. Naturally, he will obediently submit to the emperor..."

Just saying this, Lan Fei's eyes became a little vague, and the shadow of the proud and heroic young general appeared in front of her again. This enemy...

After hearing Concubine Lan's words, Emperor Xianfeng laughed heartily and exclaimed, "Yes, my beloved concubine, you are right. After a few more years, this boy will have his edges and corners smoothed out by his time in the court, and he will become even more capable."

Having said this, Xianfeng hugged Concubine Lan and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore, my beloved concubine. I'm really interested today. Let's go and rest on the bed, haha..."

In a good mood, Xianfeng hugged Concubine Lan and came to the bed. He began to move, reaching out and began to pull off the thin clothes on Concubine Lan. Concubine Lan laughed and said, "Your Majesty, it's still early. The lights have just been turned on..."

Xianfeng shouted, "Who cares? It's already evening. I'm in good spirits today. Haha, I'll definitely satisfy you!"

As he said this, Xianfeng had already taken off Concubine Lan's dress, revealing her skin as smooth as mutton-fat jade. The pair of full breasts in front of him were trembling and bouncing, which made Xianfeng even more salivating. Concubine Lan was much better in bed than the Queen!

Xianfeng impatiently moved closer and began to kiss her randomly. Concubine Lan had no choice but to help this gentleman take off his clothes. The scenery in the room suddenly became charming and fragrant, and the sound of Concubine Lan's panting could be heard continuously.

However, Xianfeng was already over 50 years old after all. He had just suffered a serious illness and indulged in alcohol and sex. His whole body had been hollowed out. When it came to sex, how could he still have the vigor he once had?

In just less than a minute, Xianfeng began to lie motionless on Concubine Lan's delicate body, breathing heavily, and turned over to lie on Concubine Lan's side. Concubine Lan had just been aroused a little by Xianfeng, but he started to lie down. It was really useless.

Lan Fei suddenly felt extremely empty inside. She was at the age when she could enjoy the sweetness of life, but it was difficult for her to enjoy the one-time benefits. Is this the portrayal of her life in the next few decades?

Lan Fei felt anxious, which was really uncomfortable.

The two of them had just fallen silent for a short while when the eunuch chief's voice rang out from outside: "Your Majesty, Su Zhongtang is outside requesting an audience."

Xianfeng frowned and said unhappily, "What's the matter? Can't we wait until tomorrow to discuss it? I'm a little tired today!"

Lu Xi was a little anxious and replied, "Your Majesty, Su Zhongtang seems to have something urgent to do. His face has changed. He said it's urgent, seven hundred miles away, with a battle report from the front..."

Xianfeng said angrily, "Isn't it just good news from the front? It's not the first time I've received it. Why are you so anxious? When did Sushun become so ignorant?"

Concubine Lan, who was standing by, felt something strange, because Lu Xi was talking about the battle report from the front, not the victory report, and Su Shun's face changed. This guy is very cunning and has great skills in cultivating his energy. If something hadn't gone wrong, he would never look like this!

Concubine Lan whispered, "Your Majesty, let's let Su Zhongtang in. It seems like there's something urgent going on. If we delay, it might not be appropriate..."

Xianfeng nodded and said, "Tell Sushun to wait in the study. I will be here soon!"

After saying this, Concubine Lan stood up from the bed, quickly took the clothes, and helped Xianfeng change. She also put on a good dress and accompanied Xianfeng to the study.

Sushun was pacing back and forth in his study, his face filled with anxiety and trepidation. Seeing Xianfeng come in, Sushun hurriedly bowed, "Your servant Sushun pays homage to the Emperor!"

Xianfeng asked, "Sushun, what's going on? Why are you so anxious that you have to wake me up from bed?"

Su Shun said anxiously, "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! We've received a joint urgent report from Senggelinqin and Prince Gong. The general of Baoding Town was accidentally hit by a foreign artillery fire in Tong County and was blown into the Tonghui River. His life or death is unknown. Without Liu Ye's command and dispatch, the Qing army is in chaos and cannot withstand the offensive of the Anglo-French coalition. Even if Senggelinqin fought with all his strength, it would be difficult to reverse the defeat..."

"Wait!"

Xianfeng shouted, "Sushun, what are you talking about? Whoever is accidentally hit by a shell will die!"

Sushun wiped the sweat from his forehead and whispered, "It was Liu Ye. In order to save Senggelinqin, Liu Ye threw the monk king more than ten feet away, but he lost the opportunity to escape. The man was blown away by the shell and fell into the Tonghui River. It is unknown whether he is alive or dead, and even his body has not been found..."

Ah!

Xianfeng slumped down in his chair in shock, his head spinning. It was a bolt from the blue, a bolt from the blue, an absolute bolt from the blue! Liu Ye was dead in battle, and I had been counting on him as the pillar of the Qing for the next fifty years! He died just like that! Impossible!

Even Concubine Lan standing by was horrified. It was impossible that Liu Ye, who was so powerful, resourceful and seemed to be able to handle anything, would be killed by a cannonball!

"Senggelinqin, Senggelinqin, you old loser, you have broken one of my strongest arms!"

Xianfeng was furious. "You old bastard, you can't even lead the battle yourself, damn it! You even caused the life of my most trusted genius to fall! Damn it, damn it, old bastard!"
