Time Travel to 1859: The Iron-Blooded Soldier King

Liu Ye chuckled and replied, "How could that be? It's just that if I had shown up earlier, would Duan Hua and Jiao Youying's fox tails have been exposed? My Queen Mother, this is luring the snake out of its hole!"

Cixi bit her lip and asked, "What should we do now? The situation outside is already a mess. Can you control it?"

Liu Ye replied, "Empress Dowager, what's so uncontrollable about this? My men are all elite soldiers from Baoding Town, and Duan Hua and Jiao Youying have already surrendered there. In less than half an hour, the entire imperial court will be at peace. You can rest assured."

Cixi asked, "But, with such a big commotion, I'm afraid the news will spread quickly. What should we do?"

Liu Ye didn't say anything. Seeing that Liu Ye had fallen silent, Cixi took two steps towards him, reached out and grasped his right hand, and whispered, "Liu Ye, now we two are all depending on you. She even owns you, and you're still willing to hide it?"

Liu Ye felt a burst of warmth on his hand. While no one was paying attention, he put his lips to Cixi's ear and whispered, "Don't worry, my dear Lan'er. Everything is under control. No matter what, I can't bear to let you get into any accidents. Even if the news leaks out, Su Shun can't turn the tables. We will write an imperial edict soon, and I will personally go and capture Su Shun and the others. As for Zaiyuan and the others, Prince Gong will naturally deal with them. With Prince Gong's ability, what mistakes can he make against a useless Zaiyuan?"

Liu Ye's strong masculine scent rushed into Cixi's heart along with his words. Her ears and neck were tickled by the heat of Liu Ye's words. She felt indescribably comfortable and her body almost went limp. A woman who has been lonely for a long time can't stand the approach of a man, let alone a woman with such a strong sexual desire as Cixi?

But at this time, Cixi was very sober, gritting her teeth and groaning, "Liu Ye, look at where this is. If you are so bold again, watch out for your head!"

Liu Ye chuckled and stopped messing around. After all, there were so many people here and it would be no joke if others saw him.

Cixi said, "Since you want an imperial decree, I will go back to the tent and write it. This time, I will make sure that bastard Sushun and the other seven bastards have their property confiscated and their entire families exterminated!"

As she spoke, Cixi turned and went into the tent.

At this time, Duan Hua and Jiao Youying had been captured, and the rebels were leaderless. Under the leadership of Zuo Baogui and Luo Bicheng, the soldiers of Baoding Town completely subdued the two or three thousand people of the Beijing camp!

Zuo Baogui shouted in a gruff voice, "Sir, things have calmed down outside now. All the main culprits have been apprehended! What should we do next?"

Liu Ye nodded, turned and walked to the tent, bowed and said: "Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, I, Liu Ye, have arrested Duan Hua, Jiao Youying and other rebel leaders and accomplices. Please issue an order to punish them!"

Inside, Ci'an and Cixi looked at each other. This Liu Ye was worthy of being called the Flying General by the late emperor. He was really amazing. It took only half an hour for such a big chaos to be settled. He was really efficient!

Ci'an said, "Sister, the emperor has fallen asleep. Let's go out and take a look."

Cixi nodded and walked out with Ci'an.

Cixi said calmly, "Okay, Liu Ye, you've worked hard. The soldiers of Baoding Town have also worked hard! By the way, who are the leaders of Baoding Town now?"

Liu Ye quickly replied, "Empress Dowager, this is Zuo Baogui, the commander of the right wing of the Baoding Town garrison, and this is Luo Bicheng, the commander of the cavalry battalion. These two are in charge of the military affairs of Baoding Town. This time, the rebellion was suppressed entirely thanks to their efforts."

The two men quickly knelt on the ground and said, "Your servant Zuo Baogui (Luo Bicheng) pays respects to the Queen Mother!"

Cixi and Ci'an looked at the two imposing generals in front of them and sighed in their hearts, they were indeed the elite soldiers of Baoding Town!

Ci'an said with a smile: "Sister, these two people have made great contributions in suppressing the rebellion this time. We can't treat them unfairly."

Cixi nodded. Ci'an rarely interfered in general government affairs, and they were all handled by her.

Cixi replied, "Well, Zuo Baogui, Luo Bicheng, you've worked really hard this time. Your contributions to protecting the emperor cannot be taken lightly. You are both meritorious officials. For now, Zuo Baogui will be promoted to deputy general of Baoding Town, and Luo Bicheng will be promoted to lieutenant commander of Baoding Town. After returning to Beijing, we will give you other rewards!"

The two men only saw an opportunity once, and it was like taking a plane. They were promoted from fifth-rank and sixth-rank generals to second-rank and third-rank generals in one breath. They were really lucky.

The two men quickly knelt down to express their gratitude.

Cixi then said, "Liu Ye, the decree has been written and stamped with our seal. What do you plan to do?"

Liu Ye quickly replied, "Empress Dowager, the better for immediate action. The commotion here is too great, and no one can guarantee that no news has leaked out. I must act immediately and rush to the coffin team to investigate Su Shun and Du Han. If it's too late, I'm afraid complications will arise..."

Ci'an frowned and asked, "Liu Ye, the lineage is in such a mess now, and we have lost our backbone. If you leave again, here..."

Liu Ye said in a deep voice, "Empress Dowager, with the soldiers from Baoding Town here, there's nothing to worry about. I only need to lead a patrol, and all the security matters here can be entrusted to Zuo Baogui. Zuo Baogui is brave and careful, loyal and brave for the country, and his talents are outstanding. He can ensure that you arrive safely in the capital. Moreover, after I deal with Su Shun's affairs, I will also catch up from behind..."

Ci'an glanced at Cixi, meaning to ask for Cixi's opinion. After all, capturing Sushun was not a trivial matter and it was indeed not advisable to delay.

Cixi sighed and said, "Well, in that case, Zuo Baogui will temporarily take charge of all military affairs in Baoding Town and the Beijing Camp. Liu Ye, be careful when you go there. Su Shun is no match for Duan Hua. He's very powerful, and he has Du Han as his assistant..."

Liu Ye smiled slightly and replied, "Don't worry, Queen Mother. Sushun is now trapped in a jar and can't cause any trouble! Luo Bicheng!"

Luo Bicheng quickly stepped forward and said, "Sir!"

"Immediately gather your one hundred cavalry guards and follow me to capture Sushun!"

"twitter!"

Luo Bicheng was excited. It was such a pleasure to follow the Lord. In just over a year, he had grown from a rookie to a high-ranking lieutenant general. If he could deal with Su Shun, he would probably rise even higher!

Soon, Luo Bicheng called up his men. Liu Ye bowed to Cixi and the other two and said in a deep voice, "Empress Dowager, I am leaving!"

After saying this, he took the reins, jumped on the horse, shouted, and more than a hundred people urged their mounts on, and they galloped away in a cloud of dust!
