Empress Chu

Xie Yanlai frowned, talking nonsense, it's not here to chatter.

"I didn't expect you to come here either." He said something.

Chu Zhao didn't say any more, this is not a place for chatting, and showed him the child in front of him: "Ah Jiu, look, this is your highness."

Xie Yan looked over, and under the light of the torch, a child could be seen turning towards him following Chu Zhao's movements.

The child had a pale complexion and a pointed face.

The little highness has been kept in the deep palace, rarely going in and out, and occasionally going in and out by car. As a guard of the outer imperial city, he has never seen the real face of the little highness.

"You are his uncle." Chu Zhao said with a smile, turning his gaze to Xie Yanlai and Tong Tong's faces.

Uncle, his surname is Xie, but there is only one Xie family who can be called uncle by His Highness, and his Xie has never been qualified to see His Highness.

But he recognized it at a glance, this child also had a face of Xie's.

Chapter 117

Xie's face was dripping with Xie's blood, just like Xie's people——

Xie Yanlai clenched the hand hanging by her side.

Xiao Yu leaned closer to Chu Zhao. Is this his uncle?The uncle in his mother's mouth loved him very much, why at this moment, he only felt the killing intent.

There are warm hands around him.

"Look." Chu Zhao smiled softly, "You two look alike."

Xie Yanlai lowered her eyes and took a step back.

At this moment, another group of people galloped towards the arrow tower, and one of them shouted, "I am Qi Xuan who is beside His Majesty, open the city gate quickly."

It was an old eunuch, dressed in an extremely strange way, and the guards behind Xie Yanlai were startled.

Xie Yan didn't even look at the old eunuch, and said, "Open the city gate."

……

……

"Is Your Majesty all right?"

Although the young general guarding the gate should be a young general, Eunuch Qi doesn't recognize these guards, nor can he see any familiar generals—those familiar generals may have turned into corpses.

In short, the other people on the city gate were obviously headed by him, so Eunuch Qi asked him directly.

The young general glanced over and said, "I don't know."

have no idea?Eunuch Qi was stunned for a moment, what does this mean?

"Our guards who guard the city gate are guarding the city gate to prevent thieves from outside from breaking in. As for the situation inside, we don't know, and we will not go unless called." Xie Yan said.

Eunuch Qi understood, and the meaning of this young general can also be understood in the same way. The inside has been under martial law, and outsiders are not allowed to pry.

In this case, it is either dangerous or safe inside.

Eunuch Qi hesitated.

In fact, he originally disapproved of coming to the imperial city, and the third prince launched an attack suddenly, but the preparation behind it must not have been a day or two. His mother, the imperial concubine, has always been the only favorite in the deep palace. No matter how careful your majesty is, it is inevitable--

Perhaps His Majesty is no longer here.

They should leave the capital and wait for soldiers from all over the world to help quell the chaos. It is best for General Chu to lead the troops back.

But Miss Chu insisted on coming to the imperial city, and Vice General Zhong and others listened to her. They had already fought before and exhausted their energy, so it would be more difficult to fight again.

"Go in and have a look." Chu Zhao said beside him.

Eunuch Qi turned his head to look at her. He saw this girl at Chu's house. Ever since she told her that she was Chu Ling's daughter, he believed everything she said. But at this moment, he couldn't help expressing his doubts: "Is it too dangerous?"

Chu Zhao could understand his concerns, and said softly, "Eunuch Qi, safety is still dangerous, you have to take a risk."

adventure--

Eunuch Qi looked at the child in front of Chu Zhao, and after being identified by the young general, he turned around again and hid his face. above his head, but the child didn't respond at all, as if he couldn't hear it.

Your Highness is already stunned.

What happened that night made everyone ecstatic, let alone a child.

"Miss Chu." He said, "Your Highness can't afford to take risks."

Going to Chu's house has taken a lot of risks, and it almost didn't end well. If Miss Chu didn't kill her——

Chu Zhao looked at Eunuch Qi: "I can save you from the adventures in the Chu family, and I can also do the adventures in the imperial city."

Under the light of the torch, the girl's eyes were calm, as if there was nothing she was afraid of in this world.

Are young people ignorant and fearless?Eunuch Qi didn't know what to say, what else could he say now?He couldn't say anything, the Longwei army listened to Chu Zhao, and the girl who didn't know what army it was urged impatiently, "Let's go, why are you dawdling?"

Eunuch Qi bowed his head: "Old slave, listen to you, Miss."

Chu Zhao comforted him: "Don't worry, His Majesty will still be there."

In that life, His Majesty lived to the point where he executed the noble concubine, demoted the third prince to confine the imperial mausoleum for the common people, and made Xiao Xun the crown prince. King Zhongshan even died of a sudden illness, and the emperor spent half a month lingering on the dragon bed before he passed away.

The prince in this life has not changed the fate of death, so the emperor will certainly not change the fate of living.

"There are quite a few guards in the inner palace."

Xie Yan, who was silent after opening the city gate, said something suddenly.

Chu Zhao looked at him: "I'm not afraid, if you don't let me in, I'll go in."

She brought the Longwei army to attack the city.

She wants to fight the third prince's men, but she also dares to fight the emperor's.

Today, this palace, the face of the emperor, she is determined!

Xie Yanlai looked at the girl's flaming eyes, and snorted in her heart, did you see, this is the real face of this girl, holding a Chuyuan Wenhui, provoking the third prince is nothing, she also wants to go through the sea of ​​swords and fire.

Nothing to do with him, what love is.

Xie Yanlai took another step back to get out of the way.

But Chu Zhao didn't gallop over on his horse, but lowered his head and called the child in his arms softly: "Your Highness."

The startled child in Eunuch Qi's eyes immediately raised his head.

He looked up at Chu Zhao.

Chu Zhao said softly to him, "Your Highness, this is your uncle, and his name is Xie Yanlai."

The boy turned his head and looked at Xie Yanlai again.

"Don't be afraid." Chu Zhao lowered his head slightly, and looked at Xie Yanlai with the boy, "Your uncle will stop the thieves from coming in for us, and if there are thieves ahead, he will also come to kill the thieves with us. In this imperial city , your uncle will protect you with his life."

The girl on the horse looked at him with bright eyes and a slight smile on her lips, pure, lovely and gentle, but Xie Yanlai's hairs stood on end in an instant.

Chu Zhao!You are so poisonous!

In the entire Xie family, His Royal Highness could call him uncle, and there was only one person who recognized him as uncle, and that was Xie Yanfang.

Other people may also be able to see His Highness, but it is impossible to be called an uncle.

It is absolutely impossible for him to thank Yanlai.

Now, Chu Zhao pushed him in front of His Royal Highness, in times of crisis, at the critical moment of life and death!

She didn't need to say that!

This is a lure!

After Chu Zhao finished speaking, the child who had never spoken before spoke.

"Uncle." His voice was a little trembling, looking at the young general in front of him, staring hard at his face, as if he wanted to engrave him in his heart, "Thank you."

Xie Yanlai clenched the knife tightly with his hands down, looked away, and said, "Let's go!"

With the sound of leaving, Chu Zhao didn't stay any longer, stopped the child with one hand, and urged the horse to gallop past, flying towards the inner city like a sharp arrow.

The people following her turned into a rain of arrows.

Xie Yanlai stood in front of the city gate, feeling the bloody wind passing by.

"Yanlai." The other imperial guards also came to Xie Yanlai's side.

They came out with Xie Yan before, at first they deliberately lagged behind a few steps to let the two lovers talk, but then they couldn't make it through, and the people around Miss Chu blocked them.

These people don't wear military robes, but their aura is terrifying.

Now it's finally time to leave.

"This Ms. Chu—" The fear in the eyes of a guard has not dissipated, "There are so many people—"

Xie Yan took a look at them, unexpected.

"What do you think about your fiancee? Did she come to me because she cared about me and was attached to me?" He said, sneering.

Can this girl be viewed with conventional eyes?Love between men and women, huh——

In front of them, there was another rush of horseshoes, and a group of horses and horses came running, just like the previous ones, without military robes.

"Miss—" one person shouted, and the voice resounded through the city gate.

Chu Zhao's voice came from far away from the inner city: "Uncle Zhong, guard the city gate."

When Zhong Changrong heard that he wanted to rein in his horse, his eyes fell on the young general standing in front of the city gate, he was startled, and immediately the scar on his face jumped.

"You!" he shouted, his eyes darkened, "Why are you here!"

Xie Yanlai raised her eyebrows, without avoiding her eyes: "Why can't I be here?" Then he sneered, "I should ask you."

This kid, what kind of attitude? Zhong Changrong flicked the whip, and instead of falling on Xie Yanlai, it slapped in the air.

I'll clean you up later!

"Since you are here." He said angrily, pointing to the outside, "The archery tower and here are entrusted to you, I will go inside."

As he spoke, he gestured to the people behind him to divide the troops, and the people and horses split into two instantly, one part galloped through the city gate following Zhong Changrong's horseshoes, and the other part stood in front of Xie Yanlai.

All this happened in an instant, and Zhong Changrong rushed over without even slowing down.

Xie Yanlai was furious, and only had time to shout: "Who do you think I am!"

But it was useless, Zhong Changrong had passed through the city gate and was no longer visible.

"Yan Lai, you know Miss Chu's uncle so well." The guard beside him was surprised, "You—"

"We have nothing to do with each other!" Xie Yanlai raised her eyebrows and scolded, "I don't know him well either!"

The guards said oh, don't say it if you don't want to, it's your private matter after all.

Xie Yanlai was annoyed and wanted to say something, the guards changed the topic first, pointed to the standing soldiers, and asked in a low voice: "What should we do?"

Xie Yanlai looked at the people and horses in front of him, and swung the saber out of the sullen feeling in his heart.

"Follow me to the watchtower!" He shouted, "Defend the city!"

Chapter 118 Overlook

The night is fading, like clear water rippling, layer upon layer of palaces gradually surfaced.

Chu Zhao failed to break into the water.

As they approached, a dense rain of arrows flew towards the palace city in front of them.

"Back off!"

Fortunately, even though they were galloping in the palace city, the Longwei army also lined up to protect Chu Zhao in the center, but Eunuch Qi rushed forward excitedly seeing the palace gate in sight, and was almost shot through by the rain of arrows.

Eunuch Qi looked down at the trembling arrow feathers stuck in the cracks of the bricks at his feet, feeling annoyed and frightened at the same time.

The annoyance is that the guards in the imperial city don't know him, after all, he hasn't come out for many years, only in the inner palace, how could the guards in the inner palace not know him?

Fear is because of this ruthless feather arrow, something happened to His Majesty, right?

"I am Qi Xuan, Eunuch Qi." He shouted again, "Quickly report to His Majesty, the servant girl is back—"

There was no response from the opposite palace gate.

But he knew that if he dared to step forward again, those feathered arrows would still fly over. He also rushed over calling his name before.
