Empress Chu

The country folks became restless, and there were all kinds of voices, men and women, old and young—but it didn't seem to be crying, but strange screaming?

They began to urge the horse to whip, but instead of fleeing, they rushed over——

babble?

The bandits froze for a moment, is this trying to rush over?By what?Those seven or eight skinny domestic servants?Teenage girls?Or a ten-year-old?Or the old man and woman sitting in the car?

The carriage ran fast, the curtains flew up, and the gray hair of the old woman inside was flying around, looking embarrassed and pitiful, but suddenly the old woman raised her hand——

what is that?The bandit chief stared wide-eyed, thinking that he was the only one with dim eyesight, but he saw an iron flute?

Amidst the strange screams, he seemed to be able to hear the iron flute being blown by the old woman's mouth, and a dart flew over from it——

How could it be darts?really?

Getting closer, getting closer—

"it is true!"

This was the last sentence the bandit leader left in the world. With these words, he flew up, fell to the ground, and was trampled by the horse's hoof the next moment.

Following the darts, those old and young rushed into the bandits, pulling out their swords, guns, swords and halberds from nowhere, like breaking into a melon field, picking up melons and falling them——

"When you go out, you need the best food and clothing. Apart from not being underestimated, you can also attract fat sheep—"

"The bandits in the Central Plains are not good. We have been swaggering all the way for so long, and only a few of them popped up."

"Sister Xiaoman, it looks like these bandits are very poor."

"You have to rob even if you are poor! Don't forget our rules, thieves don't leave empty space!"

"You bandits, put down everything, you are not allowed to keep the clothes you are wearing, and you are not allowed to keep your life."

In the valley at dusk, there were repeated beatings and screams.

……

……

The night covered up the blood, and it was not discovered until dawn.

When the local officials rushed over, they saw more than a dozen corpses, without even a piece of clothing on them, neatly placed on the side of the road.

There was nothing left on the ground except for corpses and traces of blood-stained stumps, chariots and horses.

No, and can't say no.

An official picks up a silk flower from the temple hair of a corpse.

"It's really weird."

The official looked at the dead body on the ground. Although he had never seen the naked body before, this face was familiar, and it was still hanging on the city gate for arrest.

This is the leader of bandits who have plagued the local area for many years.

"Why does it look like these bandits were robbed?"

The official reached out to take the silk flower, and he recognized it as kapok at a glance.

"Since when did this thief catch the problem of carrying flowers?"

It's a strange thing that happens every year, especially this year.

In the past, there were little girls in the capital who competed with the men, but now there are men who died as bandits and gave hairpins.

Chapter 80 Feelings

Chu Zhao didn't know what happened outside the capital, but Chu Zhao felt that his reputation was different from before.

People come to visit almost every day, mostly girls, but also men.

The girls are here to make friends, to sit down and talk, to call sisters and sisters.

Some men came to get acquainted, and some came to talk about poetry and Taoism.

There are also many banquets from aristocratic families.

Because it was not in Chu Garden anymore, everyone who came here had to pay a visit to the Patriarch first, and Jiang Shi and Chu Lan were both happy and unhappy.

The happy thing is that the entrance hall of the Chu family is lively, but the unhappy thing is that these lively people will see Chu Zhao within three sentences when they come, and their patriarch is like a servant who sends a message to lead the way.

"It's not unusual." Sitting in the bedroom, Chu Lan sneered, "Isn't it the same when my second younger brother was favored more than ten years ago."

At that time, men and women came to the door in an endless stream. The men came to make friends, and the women came to kiss.

"We've seen the bustling crowds before." Chu Lan was disappointed, "I've also tasted the danger in the bustle."

Mrs. Jiang hesitated: "So there is still danger in the future? No way, Ah Zhao is a woman after all, not a man in the officialdom like the second brother."

A woman is making a fuss now, and in the future she will get married and enter the inner house, take care of her husband and raise her children, and be isolated from the world.

Chu Lan snorted: "I don't know, God knows what the father and daughter will do."

When the couple were talking, Chu Tang came in with a smile.

"Father, mother, don't worry about this." She said, "I have already persuaded Ah Zhao not to see any guests."

Chu Lan asked: "Is she willing to listen? Isn't she tossing around for so long just to show off?"

"It's because she wants to show off that I persuaded her." Chu Tang sat down next to his mother, "Father, she is going to participate in the Wangchun Garden Literature Fair, and most of the people who come to Chu Garden to join in the fun are ordinary people with real talents Who will mess around with the little girls, such as Daddy."

Chu Lan Nianxu nodded, yes, that's it.

"That's why the Wangchun Garden Literary Club is the most important thing. If Ah Zhao wants to show off, he must study hard." Chu Tang laughed, "I decided to use my father's study for her so that she wouldn't see guests. Study hard behind closed doors."

Chu Lan nodded with a smile: "Well done, let her use it."

Jiang stroked her daughter's shoulder and smiled brightly: "Fortunately, Atang is here."

Chu Tang turned around and took his mother's hand: "I don't have to work hard, I just coax her, but I have to work hard on my parents, no visitors."

Chu Lan and Jiang Shi nodded: "Don't worry, don't worry, we are here."

Never make things difficult for your daughter.

……

……

Chu Tang wandered into the study and saw Chu Zhao flipping through books in front of the bookshelf.

"Father has collected a lot of treasures." Chu Tang said, and walked over to point them out to her. "There are many other annotations. Father has spent half his life on this."

Talking and laughing.

"Father's writing skills are still impressive."

Chu Lan can get Mr. Zhu to pass on the Shangshu and inherit Qiaoshan Academy. She still has some knowledge. Chu Zhao nodded and admitted this. She had studied with Chu Lan in that life and had a deep understanding. In order to please Xiao Xun, she learned hastily, and Chu Lan taught perfunctorily.

"I've already asked you to come over to this study room, so you can use it at ease." Chu Tang continued, "I will also follow what you said, asking my parents to refuse visitors."

Chu Zhao smiled and said thank you.

"Are you really trying to get stronger?" Chu Tang asked curiously.

Chu Zhao sat down, shaking a book in his hand: "No matter how hard I try to be strong, I can't be invincible at the Wangchunyuan literary fair. None of them are invincible.”

Chu Tang smiled and said, "I thought you were holding your breath to become a blockbuster."

"Being famous doesn't mean you have to win." Chu Zhao said lazily, "I lost, didn't I also do it?"

Chu Tang laughed out loud.

The important thing is never to win or lose, but to dare to do it.

And she is not interested in being famous, it is just that the third prince bullied her, she fights back, and the name is just to let the world know that her father did not give birth to a trash daughter, her father is a hero, what she did So is the daughter.

If I want to be honest, she doesn't want to participate in that literary meeting at all. Of course, a hero must judge the situation. The third prince sent someone to challenge her. It is reasonable for her to accept the challenge, but the third prince sent an invitation. If you don't participate, you will be arrogant.

The third prince had enough reasons to kill her.

"I'm just going to join in the fun." Chu Zhao said, "to build momentum for everyone."

And to deal with the difficulties of the third prince on the spot.

"When the time comes, stay away from me."

Chu Zhao reminded with a smile, to avoid disaster.

Chu Tang nodded: "Then I won't go."

Chu Zhao chuckled, and said, "Let's go and have a look."

She looked at the cousin.

"Let's go and see how unpredictable the imperial power and nobles are, so that my sister can better understand what kind of danger is hidden under the scenery."

In that life, Chu Tang relied on her being a queen and married a good family, but was abandoned, and finally went crazy to assassinate her. No matter how you look at it, you are a foolish person, but now, although Chu Tang is ruthless and ungrateful, he is very smart. I may have been deluded by the power and scenery in my life, cultivated my ambitions, and was arrogant and ignorant, which led to this end.

"Sister is smart, I hope that sister can see more and see more clearly, so that the viciousness of the world can't easily hurt sister."

"Sister, don't worry, as long as you don't come with me, even if I get into trouble, it won't implicate you."

The girl said these words with a calm expression, but Chu Tang felt strange, as if the girl didn't treat her as a family——

In fact, they didn't treat her like a family.

Chu Tang was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, I will also go to see and see. Only by seeing a lot can I avoid disadvantages."

The two sisters were talking when a maid came in cautiously.

"Miss, Miss Qi is here."

Mrs. Jiang actually said that Chu Zhao and Chu Tang were studying behind closed doors and seeing no visitors, but Qi Leyun immediately said that he had learned to ask for advice.

"After all, we are all going to Chu Garden. We are together. If I don't learn well, they will be ashamed too." Qi Leyun said plausibly.

Jiang had no choice but to let the little girl in.

"What are you studying at home?" Qi Leyun pushed the maidservant away and came in, "The Wangchun Garden Literature Fair was fought for by everyone, so of course we have to discuss it together."

As he spoke, he held Chu Zhao.

"Everyone is waiting for you in Yaqu Pavilion."

Chu Zhao followed her with a smile, and Chu Tang asked angrily, "What about me?"

Qi Leyun waved his hand: "You should study hard at home."

Chu Tang poohed and followed them.

……

……

When Qi Leyun dragged Chu Zhao into the box, it was already full of girls.

Seeing Chu Zhao, they all waved: "Come here." "Miss Ah Zhao, sit here with me."

Qi Leyun ignored him and pulled Chu Zhao to the center to sit down.

Chu Tang didn't follow any more, just found a seat and sat down, and soon chatted and got intimate with the girl over there.

"What's going on today?" Chu Zhao asked with a smile, looking at the venue, there was no banquet, "I thought everyone was going to invite me to a drink."

"What to eat, we have something to discuss." A girl said.

Before she finished speaking, Qi Leyun raised her hand to interrupt: "Wait a minute, close the windows first."

Chu Zhao smiled: "It's a hot day, why close the windows?"

But the girls had already got up one after another, and they closed the windows. Qi Leyun stood by the window and snorted, squinting at her: "In case someone sees something they shouldn't see from the window again, leave us and run away."

This was about what happened to Ah Jiu last time, Chu Zhao laughed.

"Well, the windows are closed, and I won't run away," she said.

A girl hesitated and said, "Azhao, I invite you here this time, because there are rumors recently——"

Before she could finish her sentence, the door was slammed open, and a girl rushed in.

"Chu Zhao!" the girl screamed, "You shameless bastard!"

Chu Zhao was stunned, looked at the girl, and asked, "Who are you?"

The girl's eyebrows were full of anger, and when she asked this question suddenly, she almost choked with anger and fell on her back.
