Empress Chu

"We have retreated to this position."

Xiaoman drew the direction on the ground with her hand, although the tears on her face were still wet, her voice had recovered clearly, the woman didn't speak, and looked at the topographical map she drew seriously.

Three or four other men also flew over from a distance, stood aside and looked at it solemnly, and then listened to Xiaoman's words.

……

……

When he saw the girl throwing herself into the arms of the new boss and weeping, Ding Dachui took his brothers and left.

The people who came were their own people, so they didn't want to meddle in their own business.

Ding Dachui took his brothers to bring back the wild boar that was dropped just now, and let the new guests taste the delicacy in their mountains——

The thought flashed and it was a little funny.

Is this for showing off?Let these people know how worth their cottage is to be robbed?

Dante's sledgehammer hadn't gone far with the people, and there was a rush of birdsong in the village, accompanied by the buzzing sound——

This is a collection order.

Bird singing is the usual method used by these newcomers, but the time is short and there are so many passwords that Ding Dachui and others can't remember, so they use Muduo.

Ding Dachui and others rushed back to the stockade, and saw the new boss coming out with the girl.

Standing closer, you can clearly see that the girl is in a mess, with blood on her body.

"Brothers." The voice of the new boss is soft, but it can be heard clearly in everyone's ears, "There is a big business coming, let's go and make a fortune together."

……

……

As night fell, the mountains seemed to be instantly engulfed in darkness.

Quiet as if no one was there.

Only those around you can hear the breathing of those around you.

A Le stood up slightly and looked forward. There was no rain of arrows, flames, or roars in front of him. After a fierce battle to cover Xiaoman, the enemy seemed to have retreated.

This seemed to be a good opportunity to leave here, but neither Lao Bai nor Chu Zhao said this.

Some scouts even whispered to Lao Bai, "Miss is so calm."

Although Chu Zhao is the queen, since seeing General Chu's daughter that night, they are used to addressing her as Miss. The Longwei army is not the soldiers of Da Xia, but the private soldiers of the late emperor and General Chu.

The queen is the queen of the world, and the young lady is their young lady, which is different.

"It goes without saying." Lao Bai whispered, "It's not like you haven't seen Miss brave."

Although the scene that night was not as dangerous as this one.

The scout whispered, "Of course I know Miss is brave. I mean Miss is brave but not brave."

Ever since encountering the bandits, Chu Zhao has been following them in advance and retreat, avoiding them, not saying a word, let alone commanding, she obviously didn’t even ask if the enemy retreated from the front, whether we want to break through——

The two on this side talked in a low voice, while on the other side Chu Zhao stretched out his hand and pressed Ale down: "Don't stand still, be careful of backstabbing."

Ale hid behind the rocks with Chu Zhao again.

"I don't know what happened to Xiaoman." A Le couldn't help but whispered.

Chu Zhaodao: "Don't worry, although she is young, she is very calm and has a sense of proportion."

Ale nodded, she didn't guess that Xiaoman died or ran away, but firmly believed that Xiaoman was their hope.

Lao Bai moved over from the side, and said in a low voice, "It will take half a day from here to the nearest government office on a fast horse, plus back and forth—Your Highness, just make it through tonight."

It's not a good night, Chu Zhao nodded, thinking that Lao Bai would not be able to see him, he hummed again: "Tonight must be a fierce battle."

They waited for reinforcements, and the enemy naturally had to guard against reinforcements, and would definitely try to kill them before reinforcements arrived.

A rocket suddenly flashed at this moment.

Like a ray of light tearing apart the night.

Lao Bai roared, "Meet the enemy."

The fire engulfed the night in the mountains, but the continuous mountains were like barriers, isolating all these in the deep mountains.

On the plain far away from the mountain, even standing on the tallest tower, you can't see what's going on in the mountain.

"I don't know what happened." Xiao Xun said to himself.

Tie Ying frowned: "It's been so long, but they haven't taken it yet. There are not many of them."

Xiao Xun turned to look at him: "Tie Ying, you despise her again, have you forgotten why we are here?"

The lights in the tower were lit up, and Tie Ying's face could be seen blushing for a moment, as shame was more of grief and indignation.

Xiao Xun stopped looking at him, and looked outside at the night: "I should be in the palace at this moment. There is a Linglong Mountain in the imperial garden, and there is a Linglong Pavilion on the mountain. When I was a child in the palace, I especially liked to go there. , Standing on the Linglong Pavilion, you can see the entire imperial city—"

His eyes are distant.

"The imperial city is so big."

When he was a child, he was afraid of this huge imperial city, thinking how difficult it would be to get out from here.

At that time, he was afraid because he was still young, and he was afraid because of ignorance.

Of course I am not afraid now, instead I think, the imperial city is so big, if I can surpass it and be its master, it must feel good.

It's just a pity that he was one step away.

Tie Ying clenched her hands: "It's all a good thing Chu's daughter did! I'll go and catch her right away!" After saying that, she was about to jump off the tower.

Xiao Xun held him down: "What's the hurry? Wouldn't it be better for us to rescue her after she was caught?"

Chapter 38 Hope

This is called, the hero saves the beauty.

King Zhongshan laughed when he heard it.

"Son, you know how to do this," he said. "It happens over and over again."

When we met for the first time, Xiao Xun rescued the girl who fell into the water, but the girl was not grateful, let alone thanked.

Not to mention the second time, because of the girl, Xiao Xun went into the water, but the girl was watching the fun on the shore.

For the third time, the girl was kidnapped by the remnants of the Zhao family, the remnants of the third prince, the remnants of the Yang family, Xiliang spies, etc., and then Xiao Xun rescued her——

Will it succeed?

King Zhongshan asked his son teasingly.

Tie Ying naturally wouldn't laugh at the young master, but felt it was unnecessary.

"Then Chu Zhao is treacherous, how could he believe it?"

Even as soon as Xiao Xun appeared, Chu Zhao could be sure that those who besieged her were arranged by Xiao Xun.

However, Tie Ying didn't wait for Xiao Xun to speak, she thought about it again and said: "I know, the son is saved for the world to see."

……

……

Now the court and King Zhongshan seem to be normal, but in fact, the turbulent undercurrent cannot be hidden. The troops outside Zhongshan County are constantly increasing, and a large number of soldiers and horses are also moving over from Bian County.

The entire Zhongshan County was surrounded, and the inspection of entry and exit was stricter than before. At this time, the name was still to track down the remnants of the third prince Zhao's party, but I believe that King Zhongshan would appear on the list of rebels and rebels in a short time.

Of course, for the Zhongshan Palace, there was no fear or tension, let alone panic.

Since the day King Zhongshan left the capital and came to Zhongshan County, he has been waiting for the court to identify him as a traitor and rebel party.

I'm used to it, and I'm already prepared.

News from the imperial court and imperial city of the capital kept coming. Xiao Xun knew everything from the decisions made by the court to what kind of shoes the empress would wear at the ceremony.

When he heard that the empress and the little emperor were enthroned together and sat together in the court to listen to the government, King Zhongshan clapped his hands and praised: "It's amazing, it's really a tiger father without a dog daughter."

Xiao Xun corrected with a smile: "Father, it should be said that the green is better than the blue because of the blue, but Chu Ling dare not, nor does he want to do that."

But Chu Zhao dared, and wanted to.

The girl is not someone else's, but her own, and it has always been her own idea.

Hearing Tie Ying's words, Xiao Xun smiled, it was indeed like this before, that girl was like everyone else in the world in his eyes, he smiled at her, got annoyed at her, and did everything to her for others to see, but now? ——

He looked at the night in the distance and smiled slightly: "No, this time, I did it for her."

He wanted to show her that he could save her or kill her.

He is not afraid of court soldiers and horses, nor is he afraid of treason charges.

She wants to be queen, and he can make her wish too.

"Go and tell the people over there." Tie Ying ordered, "After capturing them, kill the others in front of her."

Tie Ying responded, raising her eyebrows: "Then Miss Chu will be frightened."

This is also to let her know that the calculation in this world is not just throwing water to give a maid, but death.

Xiao Xun smiled: "She is very courageous, so she won't be frightened, but she will definitely be very sad."

It's hard to forget him when your heart is broken.

……

……

The night is peaceful outside the mountain, and the fire is burning in the mountain.

The murderous aura made the entire forest tremble.

Chu Zhao stood behind the rock, clinging to the cliff, looking at the torches that seemed to be all over the sky.

"They retreated earlier, not just to lure us to break through." She said, "It was to wait for reinforcements."

There are many more people attacking this time than before, and they are bound to win.

Chu Zhao looked around again, and the surviving people were all wounded, and most importantly, they were short of arrows.

Already started throwing stones down.

"Miss." She looked back, "Don't be afraid, as long as we get through tonight—"

Those people won't let them survive tonight, Chu Zhao nodded to A Le: "I'm not afraid."

She was indeed not afraid, probably because she didn't have too many regrets. Although she still couldn't see her father for the last time, Ah Jiu would definitely convey her heart for her.

Father will know how hard she worked to see him, and also understand her heart for him, he will always be the most important in her heart.

Unlike her previous life, when she became a queen, she only indifferently sent a letter to her father, telling him to remember her identity and not to cause trouble for her.

Also, Xiao Yu was rescued, and Deng Yi and Xie Yanfang joined forces to sit in the court. In this life, Xiao Xun can only be a traitor if he wants to be an emperor.

Also, since the Longwei army was handed over to Ah Jiu, Uncle Zhong and the others don't have to worry about their future, Ah Jiu will not ignore and consume their lives like Xiao Xun did.

Also, for the uncle's family, Chu Tang was a smart person, and he knew that the backer was Chu Zhao. After she died, Chu Tang immediately took the whole family to retreat to the mountains as she had told her before.

She could die in peace.

After death, reunite with the mother first, and then wait for the father to arrive, and the family of three can be together.

However, she has never met her mother, so she doesn't know what she looks like, so she won't recognize her when she meets her, right?

She doesn't really know how to get along with her mother.

Chu Zhao was a little nervous, and pushed down a rock with all his strength.

……

……

It seems that all the ferocious beasts in Luoying Mountain have come here, tigers, wolves, wild boars and even pheasants and rabbits. The entire mountain forest is shaking, and the ground is flying dirt and rocks.

Rao Ding Dahui couldn't help swallowing, clutching the repaired hunting bow, his palms were sweating.

This business is not small, and the fight is too intense.

Even the new boss directly told them that there was not enough manpower and asked them to drive out all the wild beasts all over the mountains and plains.
