Empress Chu

Deng Yi and Xie Yanfang turned around and saluted.

Xiao Yu stepped in, looked at the two of them, and looked a little uneasy: "Are the two adults arguing?"

Xie Yanfang smiled at him: "Your Majesty, the court is like this. No matter whether it is in the court or after the court, as long as it involves court affairs, there will be disputes. Your Majesty should get used to not worrying or being afraid."

He didn't fool around to comfort him casually, but told him seriously, his smile was warm and bright, Xiao Yu turned his eyes to look at Deng Yi.

Deng Yi said: "We are talking about Xie Yanlai's private transfer of troops to leave Beijing."

Xiao Yu sighed: "This matter." He looked at Deng Yi with twinkling eyes, "I sent uncle to go."

Deng Yi frowned.

Xie Yanfang had already guessed it, so she didn't react too much.

"Teacher, Mr. Xie, I asked my uncle to bring my sister back." Xiao Yu continued, "Everyone in the court said that the situation is very tense and dangerous, so I want my sister to come back. I am worried that she is in danger. I can't tell others about my sister, so I asked my uncle to help me."

He looked at the two adults with an uneasy expression, but he didn't ask if it was wrong for me to do so, but his eyes were firm.

"I want my sister to be safe."

Deng Yi was silent for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty should call himself Zhen, and you should get used to this address."

Chapter 46 Seduction

"It must be Xie Yan who came to confuse the emperor." Xie Qiye said with certainty.

Xie Yanfang, who returned home from the court hall, put on her homely clothes again, sat in front of the window, and laughed when she heard this.

"Ayu is really worried about Miss Azhao." He said.

Of course, Xie Qiye also knew the little emperor's feelings for Chu Zhao. The girl saved Xiao Yu, and the child whose parents died generally recognized the girl.

Children are troublesome. They can't tell who is in the family, and they don't know their own status. It's enough to be a loyal minister for saving lives. The one who should really be close is the Xie family.

It's not that I didn't get close, just blindly get close to that concubine—the concubine is not a good thing, and I just want to soar into the sky when I get the chance.

"Even if Ah Yu wants him to go, what he should do is persuade." Xie Qiye patted the table angrily, "If he can't persuade you, he should come and tell you. He is good, he only knows how to flatter and please, and he will do whatever the child says What! To be the most trustworthy person in the eyes of the child emperor, what is it worth showing off? Absurd!"

Xie Yanfang looked at the table and said, "It's not necessarily flattery, he wants to go too."

Xie Qiye was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't understand: "What do you want to go?"

Xie Yanfang raised her head and said, "Yan Lai is no less worried about Ms. Azhao than Ayu. After all, he and Ms. Azhao have known each other earlier than Ayu."

Xie Qiye snorted, blinked, seemed to understand, but didn't quite understand, and slapped the table again: "It's even worse, flattering the emperor and Chu Ling, does he really think these two are backers? It's ridiculous. "

The little emperor is still young, there is still a long way to go, and great changes have been made. If he can please him now, it may not be certain in two or three years.

As for Chu Ling, his life will end this year.

Xie Yanfang smiled: "Three, and Miss Azhao."

Chu Zhao, without Chu Ling, this Chu Zhao is just like Xie Yanlai, and that Deng Yi is a villain, what Xie Qiye wanted to say, Xie Yanfang waved his hand.

"The matter is already like this, needless to say Uncle Seven." He said, "It's very good Your Majesty is doing this, Miss Azhao's safety is very important, and Yan Lai is also the most suitable candidate, if not, who else will go? "

He looked at Xie Qiye as if joking.

"me?"

It was really funny, Xie Qiye laughed, and his anger was swept away. He stood up and said, "Hurry up, I'm just annoyed that these people always make their own decisions, and the country is uneasy, so don't make trouble anymore."

Xie Yanfang said: "Don't be annoyed, since the crown prince passed away and the first emperor passed away, the country's dynasty is destined to be unstable in the past few years. Soldiers come to cover up water and soil, and it will pass."

Xie Qiye nodded and left.

Xie Yanfang didn't go to the desk immediately, but was slightly lost in thought, and nodded again: "He went to see her when he was worried, it's actually that simple."

After finishing speaking, he smiled again, looked down at the letter paper spread out on the desk, half of the words expressing his worries were written on it, and it was time to persuade——

Xie Yanfang picked up the pen, put it down again, and called Du Qi.

Du Qi came in from the outside.

Xie Yanfang stood up and stretched her arms, pointing to the desk: "It's finished, send the letter."

Du Qi went over to fill in the letter, glanced at the content, and couldn't help but ask, "My lord, have you finished writing?"

This is what I wrote when I went out earlier. He was watching it at the time, but the young master said that he would write it after he came back.

Xie Yanfang was walking towards the inner room when she heard Yan hum.

All right, you don't need him to tell you what to do, you don't need him to write a half letter, you have your own intentions, Du Qi packed the letter, and when he was about to leave, Xie Yanfang turned around again.

"Be quick," he said, "as soon as possible."

……

……

The emperor's imperial edict, military letters, and mansion newspapers were spread throughout the Great Xia through means such as post soldiers, carrier pigeons, officials, business travelers, and private individuals.

Even though it was far away from the border county and there was no war at all, the whole area of ​​Chen county could be visibly nervous, especially in the barracks.

In this barracks, which is not a large garrison, soldiers and horses are galloping day and night.

When the morning light was dim, Chu Zhao stood outside the tent, saw a general passing by, recognized the one in charge of the post newspaper, and called him, "Is there any latest news?"

The general jumped off his horse, did not conceal the news, and said respectfully: "The king of Xiliang has added another ten thousand troops."

In other words, the King of Xiliang was not just pretending, but was really about to fight, Chu Zhao thanked the general.

Seeing her frowning and looking in the direction of Bianjun, the general couldn't help but say something more: "Miss, Yunzhong County is really dangerous. Although the defense is tight, there are still many Xiliang stragglers sneaking in, burning and killing everywhere." Looting, Yunzhong County is now solidified and cleared, so you should not go there."

After the Chen County garrison arrived that day, Chu Zhao asked them to be responsible for cleaning up and checking the follow-up, and they were not allowed to stay. They were about to move forward at that time, but before they had gone far, the post soldiers from Chen County caught up and said that the King of Xiliang was invading the frontier county.

Chu Zhao came and stayed.

She stayed here to learn about the latest news and trends before deciding on a new route and rushing towards Yunzhong County.

Chu Zhao thanked him, but he didn't say no: "The soldiers and civilians in Yunzhong County are not afraid of Xiliang soldiers, and neither are we."

The general looked behind Chu Zhao, and there was a group of guards over there—unlike the guards gathered, and the guards were also staring at him. When he looked over, the guards seemed to be frightened and looked away—

If they were not in the barracks, the general believed that they would have dispersed immediately.

The generals have already seen the identities of these people-not to mention the breath, the portraits of many of them are still hanging outside the government office in the city. Although after seeing the officers and soldiers, those people covered themselves with rags and said they were injured. Where can it be covered.

However, since the lady said they were her guards, he didn't ask.

The general said to Chu Zhao: "Miss, you still don't have enough guards, but we don't have any troops to send to you. We just received an order from the imperial court, and all the garrison troops are strictly guarding the area."

They also found this order a bit strange. It stands to reason that some troops should be sent to the border county to help.

Chu Zhao is not surprised. Compared with the crisis in Bianjun, the king of Zhongshan is more critical, so the imperial court ordered the troops stationed in various places not to leave, because once the king of Zhongshan suddenly launched a crisis, it was not the border county that was in danger, but the capital.

That's why she stopped and waited for the news to readjust her route, not because she was afraid of the Xiliang war, but because she was worried about Zhongshan King's interception and killing.

Of course, these cannot be explained in detail to the officers and soldiers here, otherwise it will cause confusion. Chu Zhao thanked the general again: "I know, I will consider it carefully."

The general said no more, and galloped away.

Seeing the general galloping away, Ding Dahui, who was standing in front of the tent not far away, was also relieved, but his body was still tense.

"It's also interesting." Someone beside me muttered, "We actually live in a military camp."

Ding Dachui turned his head to look at this person, and saw that it was Ge Laosan, another bandit leader. The two looked at each other, a little awkward.

Among the three bandit villages in Luoying Mountain, Chang Laizi committed suicide and was killed. Like him, Ge Laosan was beaten and surrendered.

Now the two of them were grasshoppers on the same rope, so although he was awkward, Ge Laosan still gave him a wink and walked away first.

When Ding Dachui came to find him, only Ge Laosan was in the camp, and everyone else was sent outside to guard.

Ge Laosan was staring at a map.

"Can you understand? I don't know any big characters." Ding Dachui said.

Ge Laosan turned the map over and put it on the table: "I can't read and still have ears, don't talk nonsense, tell me what to do now."

He looked at Ding Dahui.

"Are we really going to be her guards?"

At that time, they went down the mountain with the girl as good-hearted hunters, and the officers and soldiers rushed over.

They were really taken aback when they saw the officers and soldiers.

What was even more shocking was that the girl did not introduce these kind-hearted hunters in the mountains to the officers and soldiers, and directly said that they were all her guards.

The reason why this sentence was even more shocking was because the girl clearly saw that their Orion identities were fake by saying this.

If it is really about Orion, the local officers and soldiers will check——

Their portraits are still hanging in the city, waiting for a reward.

The girl said they were guards, so the officers and soldiers didn't take a second look, and even if they saw something strange, they were sensible and didn't talk too much.

These days, they have also seen more clearly that this girl's identity is indeed not simple, and the decent generals in the military camp rushed to salute this girl when they saw her.

This girl's wealth is indeed a big business, but this business can't be done.

"She's going to Yunzhong County. Xiliang has already fought there, and she's going to die there." Ge Laosan said in a low voice, "Even if her family has a great career in Yunzhong County and Xiliang soldiers cross the border like locusts, nothing will happen." gone."

Ding Dachui naturally thought of this too, and was silent for a moment: "Otherwise?"

"Of course I'm going." Ge Laosan said in a low voice, "Leave here and find another mountain. In this case, what kind of guards, what kind of new boss—"

Before he finished speaking, he heard coughing.

The coughing sound was soft, but it fell in the ears of the two of them like thunder.

His breathing froze for a moment, and he couldn't move or look back, so he froze in place.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, are you thinking of me?"

The female voice asked, and the person also walked over slowly, bringing a gust of wind.

Why are the people outside not on guard at all?

The two most confidant brothers surrounded the entire camp.

Why, there was no reminder to cough——

Ge Laosan and Ding Dachui swayed, as if they were blown down by the wind and sat down, stiffly turning their heads to look at the woman standing in front of them.

The woman is wearing a gray cloth dress, with her hair tied and wrapped in a headscarf. She doesn't wear a hat or veil—but her face is wrapped in a veil.

They finally saw what she looked like, though only with a pair of eyes.

The woman's eyes are like autumn water - Ding Dahui doesn't know how to come up with this word, even he doesn't know what autumn water looks like.

"Boss, boss." Ge Laosan stammered, his voice stammered, his movements were flexible, and he pulled out the stool under his buttocks, "Sit down."

The woman sat down with swaying footsteps, half leaning on the table, looked at the two, and said nothing, but her eyes were full of words-meaningful, reproachful, vigilant, resentful, and murderous.

To blame, Ding Dachui shuddered, this was his own imagination, and his mind was already confused.

In front of this woman, they have no ability to resist at all, not only their eyes, but also their real kung fu.

"Recognize the boss for a day, and be the boss for life." Ding Dachui gritted his teeth and said, "We have two hearts. If we want to kill or cut, we will follow you."

Ge Laosan swallowed his saliva and wanted to say some words of pleading and explanation, but facing the gentle eyes, he didn't dare to say a word.

The woman said: "If you recognize the boss for a day, you will be the boss for life. Whether you can be the boss is my own business, and it has nothing to do with you. You are right if you don't want to recognize the boss."

ah?Both Ding Dachui and Ge Laosan were stunned, what does this mean?They looked at her for some sarcastic threat or something, but there wasn't.

Looking into the woman's eyes, I felt that what she said was right and sincere, not to mention being on guard, I didn't even want to turn my head——

"Following me is dangerous, and you will lose half of your hands overnight." The woman continued, tapping her finger on the table, "Next, it will be even more dangerous. I am using you as a knife. There's no way out."

You know it all in your heart, Ding Dachui said heartily.

"However, you are the ones with no way out." The woman looked at them, spread her arms and said.

Is this scolding?How can you scold so well—it sounds nice?Ding Dachui didn't feel angry in a daze, and Ge Laosan who looked aside was about to nod accordingly.

"If you are bandits, you can't even beat bandits. You have no way to survive. If you are hunters, the government will let you have no way to survive."

"You have to recognize yourself, you are either desperate, or you are too lazy to find this dead end."

"They're all dead, why are you picking them up?"

Ge Laosan couldn't help but nod along with the woman's words, and Ding Dachui smiled wryly: "You're right." He clasped his fists together, "We are willing to be your knife, Boss, anytime, anywhere!" die."
