Empress Chu

A girl who was raised with love.

"It's my aunt who gave birth to you well." Xiaoman said angrily. For so many years, my aunt never said anything bad about Chu Ling, and asked, "Then what should I do next?"

As Chu Zhao said?Follow them instead of dodging and hiding?

She never expected to appear in front of her, talk to her, and be watched by her with a smile——

The woman put her hand on her heart: "This is because God has mercy on me." She raised her head and looked at Xiao Man, "Then let me be Aunt Ding."

Hearing this title, and thinking about the scene at that time, that Ding Dahammer's face turned pale, and Chu Zhao didn't even notice it, Xiaoman couldn't help laughing.

"She's stupid," she said.

Aunt Ding raised her hand and patted her: "Don't laugh, Aunt Ding doesn't know you well either, so put on a straight face."

Xiaoman covered her stomach to prevent herself from laughing out loud.

The two were talking and laughing, when Aunt Ding suddenly looked in one direction, it was a group of people galloping - this kind of people is very common in the barracks, and there are also other places at this moment, but she still only stared at this team.

Travel dusty, they are not local.

The others stopped, and one of them came straight to where Chu Zhao was.

This is also very common. The post soldiers deliver letters directly to Chu Zhao.

But this postman—

The woman squinted her eyes, she was young and imposing.

He jumped off the horse, and the soldiers at the door did not stop him in the slightest. The old man greeted him warmly, and the young postman directly opened the door curtain and went in——

Then, he walked out again, looking unhappy, and Chu Zhao smiled behind him, and jumped in front of him like a deer, blocking the way——

The woman felt her heart skip a beat.

I don't know if this young postman also jumped several times?

Chapter 50 home

Who is that person?

Xiaoman, who was smiling, heard the question, followed the woman's gaze, saw it at a glance, and said oh.

"He." She said, "It's Ah Jiu."

Ah Jiu?This is a nickname, Xiaoman knows it, so it can be seen that it is someone close to Chu Zhao, a guard?Impossible, it is impossible for Chu Zhao to act like this in front of the guards——

The woman squinted her eyes.

"He's not a bodyguard, nor a postman, he's the son of the Xie family, the emperor's uncle." Xiaoman went on to say, telling all he knew, and snorted again, "The gang with the surname Zhong, What about the Longwei army, the one surnamed Zhong will be handed over to him."

The Xie family, the emperor's uncle, this is a son of a noble family. The woman is surprised, and she can still take Zhong Changrong's hand, so the general must know, recognize, and approve.

Since it was approved by the general, it is naturally very good, a smile appeared on the corner of the woman's mouth.

"This man is very fierce." Xiao Man pouted, "I often quarrel with Chu Zhao, and I don't listen to Chu Zhao's words."

Yeah?Is it fierce?Don't listen to Chu Zhao?The woman smiled and looked at the boys and girls standing there.

……

……

The boy looked annoyed.

And what does this word mean, please don't pretend that she knows him well.

Xie Yanlai sneered, but her lowered phoenix eyes flew up again, looking at the girl standing in front of her.

"Back when I was by the river, I saw your identity and wanted to kill you, so I did it." He said, "You complained repeatedly to see your father, and I said it had nothing to do with me and ignored it. Xie Yanlai will do what he says?"

Chu Zhao nodded: "Yes, you are right."

This was too perfunctory, what Xie Yanlai wanted to say was interrupted by Chu Zhao stepping over.

"How many people did you bring?" she asked, whispering, "If we really encounter King Zhongshan's robbery, are we sure?"

How could she be sure that she didn't come to catch her back, Xie Yanlai felt that her breath was stuck in her heart, why was she so sure!

"I've been here for a long time." The girl looked at him with red eyes, "The latest news is that Xiliang has increased its troops again, and the entire Yunzhong County has become a battlefield. I don't know how father is doing now."

"Xiaoman helped find people. There are more than [-] people, but they can only show their faces, and their lethality is not great."

"The garrison here told me just now that they cannot mobilize troops to escort me, and the imperial court has ordered that they must be stationed here."

"I was wondering what to do next."

Speaking of this, her red eyes sparkled with stars.

"Ah Jiu, you are here!"

"Ajiu, it's great that you're here."

What a fart, Xie Yanlai turned her head and let out a breath: "As long as King Zhongshan dare not openly rebel, he is not a threat."

The girl in front of her smiled, and stepped forward——

Xie Yanlai stretched out her hand, and put a finger on the girl's shoulder, like holding a cat, holding her in place.

"Stay away from me." He said lightly, "I'm not clear with the empress, but it's much more serious than being with Miss Chu."

Chu Zhao smiled and bent over: "I just want to thank you."

Xie Yanlai said, "Stay away even if you want to thank you."

Chu Zhao bent down with a smile, and gave him a deep bow: "Thank you, Mr. Ninth."

……

……

The barracks gathered again, but this time it was finally their turn.

Chu Zhao rode on the horse and looked around. The outermost layer was the armor brought by Xie Yanlai, and the next layer was Xiaoman with enthusiastic "Orion". Lao Bai and the surviving Longwei army were Chu Zhao's last defense.

"It's me." Hearing the young lady talking to herself, Ah Le hurriedly raised the bow in his hand to protest.

Chu Zhao looked at her and smiled: "Ale is not the last defense, Ale and I are one."

A Le also smiled, nodded, yes, she lived and died with the young lady, she looked forward, and saw the young general at the front——

Under the sunlight of early winter, the young man was as thin and tall as a pine and cypress, with a red cloak wrapped around his armor, which was in stark contrast to his cold face, like a snow-capped mountain that was as cold as a flame——

"Miss." A Le approached Chu Zhao and whispered, "You are so powerful, you can persuade him to help us with just a few words."

Thinking back to the beginning, I feel sad.

"Being a queen is not treated the same as Miss Chu."

At the beginning, she and the young lady tried their best to use them as postmen to go to the border county. He was on guard and exposed him. In the end, the young lady cried in front of him, but he ignored them indifferently.

Chu Zhao said: "No, in Ah Jiu's eyes, the queen and Miss Chu are the same." He also looked at Xie Yanlai in front and smiled, "And I didn't talk him into it."

She just looked over, and the young general noticed it immediately, frowning and looked over.

Chu Zhao smiled.

The young general raised his chin arrogantly.

"He was here to help me." Chu Zhao continued to Ale.

Ah, I was here to help?Ah Le was surprised, no way, how could Ah Jiu come to help?And the third son Xie wrote the letter first, and he came, didn't he also say that it was the third son Xie who asked him to arrest her and go back.

"Don't listen to what he says." Chu Zhao smiled, "Just watch what he does."

Ah Le said yes, and the lady said yes, no matter what the reason is, as long as the lady fulfills her wish.

There was a snap of the whip.

"Let's go." Xie Yanlai retracted her haughty chin, flicked her whip in the air, and with a shout, she galloped ahead.

Everyone behind him shouted and moved.

Chu Zhao was also among them, shouting with A Le.

"Set off--"

Go home.

I went to see my father.

Do what you didn't do in that lifetime.

The road was dusty, and the armored soldiers galloped, and they didn't slow down at all when they encountered chariots and horsemen.

"The imperial court is marching in a hurry." The leading soldier shouted loudly, "Dodge quickly, and those who stand in the way will die."

Soldiers and horses galloped.

There is no distinction between roads and trails, border counties or inland areas.

The battle in Bianjun was tense throughout Daxia, and there were more and more soldiers and horses outside Zhongshan County. However, sensitive people still had some guesses as to whether it was in Zhongshan County.

"What are so many soldiers and horses doing in Zhongshan County?"

"Could it be to fight King Zhongshan—"

"It seems to say that the emperor was dissatisfied with King Zhongshan for not going to congratulate him."

"Why did the prince go to congratulate him? Because of the death of the first emperor, he was almost blind from crying."

"The Zhongshan Palace is full of people looking for doctors every day—"

"This is a bit too much. Anyway, King Zhongshan is His Majesty's only elder."

This discussion made the people a little nervous, and they didn't look right at the soldiers and horses. Some local scholars even asked the officers and soldiers what they were doing here.

However, the government soldiers and horses did not arrest these bold scholars, they only said that military and political secrets should not be prying.

Although it can't be said that it can't be spied on, but soon some other scholars peeped through it by themselves.

"This is a strategic layout." A scholar in a tea shed by the side of the road said, dipping his finger in the tea and drawing on the table, "Zhongshan County is the heaviest line of defense in the capital, and it is the most suitable place to deploy defenses. Guard the capital, advance to help Yunzhong County."

The people around gathered around, half-believing and half-believing.

Is Zhongshan County really an important place for military defense?How did you-

"What happened before?" The scholar stroked his beard with water-stained fingers, his eyes were far away, "Why do you think that Emperor Jingtai entrusted Zhongshan King to Zhongshan County? Emperor Jingtai's heirs were difficult, and only the first emperor and Zhongshan King were left in the end. At that time, Xiliang was ferocious, ravaging the border counties, and almost invading the hinterland of the central plains. In order to stabilize the Great Xia, Jingtai chose Zhongshan County as a key place, and let the king of Zhongshan station there, forming a solid defense in times of crisis—”

It turned out to be the case, and the people around suddenly realized that Emperor Jingtai had a far-sighted vision.

When he heard this, Xiao Xun pushed down the bamboo hat, even so, he didn't hide the smile at the corner of his mouth.

"It's good to be dead. The emperor's grandfather can now be called a visionary." He whispered, "It's better to say that the emperor's grandmother is a visionary."

After saying this, Xiao Xun smiled even more, and didn't feel that this was a mockery of the elders.

The emperor's grandmother could kill the royal son with her own hands, but the emperor's grandfather knew it but kept silent, neither punished the emperor's grandmother nor comforted the father, and drove the father to Zhongshan County to fend for himself.

The elders are unfair to their children and grandchildren, they are not worthy to be Xiao Xun's elders.

Chapter 51 Heart

The past grievances between King Zhongshan and the court are imprinted in the hearts of everyone in the Palace of King Zhongshan.

But at this moment, Tie Ying pays more attention to what is in front of her eyes.

"Who arranged this person?" He whispered, looking at the scholar who was still explaining the layout and talking nonsense, his eyes were cold, "Deng Yi or Xie San?"

Xiao Xun didn't care: "We can spread rumors, and so can others. Whether it's Deng Yi or Xie San, they are our opposition now."

How can there be so much gossip in the world, especially at this time, it is naturally arranged by people to stir people's hearts and comfort people's hearts.

Tie Ying said angrily: "That's all for Xie San, Deng Yi is such a shameless villain, he took our money and broke his promise, it's a pity that your Highness destroyed that imperial edict, otherwise you would take out that imperial edict and tell This is written by Deng Yi, let's see if he can still hold the position of Taifu!"

That imperial decree, Xiao Xun pressed his chest lightly, and smiled: "Since you know he is a villain, you will be surprised by what the villain does, and there is no need to be angry. In the future—" he stood up, "I owe us Just ask for it back.”

Tie Ying hurriedly followed, and went out with Xiao Xun.

There were people coming and going in the teahouse, and no one cared about these two young people.

A young man got into the car, a young man rode a horse, and walked slowly towards a city ahead.

This is the most important checkpoint in Zhongshan County. Compared with before, there are more soldiers and horses, and there are layers of forests, staring at everyone passing by, even the chickens and ducks in the baskets are taken out for inspection.
