Empress Chu

He knelt down and raised the imperial decree in his hand.
"Ning Kun doesn't want the son to kill his father, but just asks the son not to make decisions for his father."
"For such a big event, the prince must know."
"Such a big matter, son, you can't decide on your own!"
After all, let him send this bullshit edict to his father.
Xiao Xun's face was gloomy and cold, and his body was trembling.
What will the father think and do when he gets this imperial decree?
He didn't even dare to think, couldn't, think about it.
What he should do now is to pick up the imperial decree and throw it into the fire to burn it, making it disappear in this world.
but--
He stood on the spot, looking at the imperial decree held by Ning Kun. He grew up so big, and every step he took and everything he did really didn't make his own decisions. They were all arranged by his father.
This time, will he decide for himself?
In case, the father has a better solution?
Chapter 113 Flame
"They came to me because of my father."
In the dark night, on the street where the torches were blazing, after Eunuch Qi finished telling the story, Chu Zhao added something aside.
Zhong Changrong was dumbfounded. He was in the city, and from the chaos, he found a few words. He knew that the third prince and the prince were fighting. The closed city gate cut off the news. He didn't know that the prince died.
"Uncle Zhong, the imperial city was also surrounded. Eunuch Qi trusted his father, so he came here to escape." Chu Zhao continued, "But people are also targeting here, so I took them out."
As for the specifics, Chu Lan's murderous intentions, Xiao Xun's visit and other details are inconvenient to talk about now.
Zhong Changrong put away his chaotic thoughts, he didn't ask too many questions, he didn't think about anything now, and looked at the child sitting in front of Chu Zhao.
"I will protect your Highness with my life." He said solemnly.
Mr. Qi said: "I feel at ease when I see Miss Chu and you again."
Someone snorted from the sidelines.
The three of them turned their heads and saw that it was the girl who had stood aside and twisted her neck when she spoke earlier, but neither Chu Zhao nor Zhong Changrong let her go away, let alone Eunuch Qi, after all, the girl before Appearing out of nowhere saved them all.
The girl listened to the whole process with her neck twisted and her ears pricked up.
The prince, the third prince, dying, killing, and living, she didn't react at all, it seemed that she was just listening to the excitement, and she didn't speak until she heard Zhong Changrong's determination.
"What are you protecting?" She sneered, "There are soldiers and horses everywhere in this city, no matter who they are, but it is certain that most of them are not good for you. How do you protect them? With your few personal?"
She raised her chin and looked behind Zhong Changrong. Zhong Changrong led a dozen people into Beijing, but at this time only four people followed him into the city.
Zhong Changrong's expression darkened, and Scar stared at the girl ferociously.
Xiaoman is not afraid of him: "You don't have to think about us, we are not many people, besides, we are here just to—"
When he said this, he glanced at Chu Zhao, and didn't say the rest.
Chu Zhao looked at the girl with a vague understanding, but Zhong Changrong understood the girl's meaning very well in his heart. She didn't care about the life or death of the little prince, she was only here to protect Chu Zhao, and only Chu Zhao's life and death could make them work hard. , these thieves—
Zhong Changrong gritted his teeth and swallowed the words that came to his lips.
It's useless to lose your temper with them now, even if you add them, there are still not enough manpower. The third prince and the crown prince fought, and I don't know how much power they have accumulated.
Then we can only hide first, the capital is so big, it should be possible to hide with these people.
But Chu Zhao said that His Royal Highness has been targeted, those people have surrounded the Chu family, and they were eliminated at this time, and soon the news spread, those people will not give up——
Zhong Changrong held the knife, the scar on his face was throbbing, his mind was buzzing, it would be great if the general was here, he wouldn’t be like him, he didn’t know what to do——
"Deputy General Zhong." Eunuch Qi said softly from the side, "We have manpower."
Lieutenant Zhong was taken aback, Chu Zhao and Xiao Man both looked at him.
manpower?What else do they have?It would not have been so dangerous if there were already people.
Eunuch Qi glanced at Chu Zhao: "Miss Chu probably doesn't know why I brought my Highness to the Chu family." He looked at Zhong Changrong again, "Deputy General Zhong should know why."
Why?Chu Zhao was slightly taken aback, wasn't it because of his trust in his father?She also looked at Zhong Changrong.
Zhong Changrong's face changed, he seemed unbelievable and sad, his expression was very strange, and his body was still trembling slightly.
Eunuch Qi looked at him and said softly, "Your Majesty, I have always kept it and never gave it up."
Zhong Changrong's expression became even more agitated, he couldn't even utter a word, he just reached out and pressed his waist, as if he had grabbed something, but he hesitated to take it out.
"Deputy General Zhong." Eunuch Qi looked at him and nodded, "Please call General Chu to protect His Majesty and Great Xia."
Summon General Chu?
Chu Zhao seemed to understand something, but he didn't.
Zhong Changrong didn't speak anymore, he took a smoke cannon from his waist, lit it with a twister, and held it high.
The fireworks were not heavy, but Zhong Changrong seemed to have exhausted all his strength.
Accompanied by a sharp bang, the fireworks exploded in the night sky, colorful and gorgeous, outlining the picture of burning flames.
At this moment, the sky and the earth seemed to be burning, weird and dazzling.
"A long time ago, His Majesty and General Chu came up with an idea. They secretly formed a team belonging to the two of them."
"This team has a complete configuration, including scouts, spies, charges, post reports, etc. Members are selected from various places, but they do not leave their own places. They only have an additional identity under the existing identity. This identity is , Longwei Army."
Under the burning flames, Chu Zhao looked up at the night sky and listened to Eunuch Qi's soft narration.
"When necessary, they have the right to act first and act later."
"They hold the Dragon Might card, they can freely come and go to the imperial city to meet the emperor."
"Chu Ling, on the surface he is General Wei, but in fact he is the leader of the Longwei Army."
It turned out that it was like this—Chu Zhao clenched his hands tightly, no wonder, no wonder, Xiao Xun let her be the queen in that life.
Zhong Changrong looked up at the night sky. He hadn't seen Longwei Flame Token for many years.
He said in a hoarse voice: "After that incident, although His Majesty has cut off contact with the general, the general has been managing and disciplining the Longwei army as before, but never used the Longwei order again."
Chu Zhao knew about that incident. It was his father and the emperor who had a dispute about suppressing the bandits, and then his father's words angered the emperor. Since then, his father has been abandoned.
Eunuch Qi also looked at the night sky. He was in the deep palace, while Longwei's army was mainly fighting in the border county. This was the first time he saw Longwei's Flame Order.
When the Flame Order was first created, Chu Yu described it to His Majesty, and His Majesty said it was really beautiful, but it was a pity that he could not see it while sitting in the deep palace. During the time of the Flame Order, something happened to me and I needed you to save me. Chu Ling was not afraid of the emperor scolding at that time, and said with a smile, that minister wished His Majesty would never see the Flame Order for the rest of his life.
Thinking of this, Eunuch Qi's eyes were red and his nose was sore. After such a long life, who would have thought that His Majesty would see the Fire Order in the capital.
Except for being framed by others and using the Longwei Army to collect evidence of the other party's crimes, Chu Ling never used the Longwei Army in the capital again. Like Chu Ling, the Longwei Army was sealed in dust.
"However, His Majesty has been taking care of General Chu's soldiers and horses in the capital according to the regulations set by General Chu at the beginning." He said even more, "I fled into the city with my little highness and hid in the Chu family because of this. There is only one reliable and reliable team in the whole city."
But in that life, Eunuch Qi and His Highness did not wait to be reliable, because of their own ignorance, because of Chu Lan's greed, because of Xiao Xun's preemptiveness—Chu Zhao lowered his gaze.
Zhong Changrong didn't speak any more, and motioned to the four people behind him, who also took out their fireworks and lit them up.
Flames bloomed one after another in the air, and half the sky was ablaze.
Chu Zhao looked at the dark night, and in the dark night, countless shadows gathered from all directions towards the flames that bloomed here.
Chapter 114
Fireworks suddenly exploded in the air, and the capital city where the fighting was fought in the dark at night attracted the attention of many people.
A small man who was hiding in the house with tables, chairs and benches piled up behind the door was stunned when he saw the fireworks exploding in the sky.
"Why are people setting off fireworks at this time? Is this a celebration?" His wife said in surprise.
The fireworks are so beautiful, even during the most lively Lantern Festival in the bustling capital, I have never seen such beautiful fireworks.
Thinking of this, she was very sad again, wondering if she could live to this year's Lantern Festival.
"The head of the house—" she stretched out her hand to pull Xiaomin, "let's go in quickly."
Xiaomin did not hide with his wife, and his face was not frightened, but calm. He stretched out his hand to hold his wife, and led her to the cellar in the yard.
"Alan, come here and hide." He said, opening the cellar.
The wife was taken aback. She didn't even know there was a cellar at home, so she blamed her husband: "Why didn't you tell me earlier."
The husband throws the lantern in first, lighting up the cellar, and then lowers the wife down.
As the wife looked at it, it turned out to be quite small.
"When did you dig the cellar?" she asked, looking up again to wait for her husband to come in.
But the husband did not come in, standing above and overlooking his wife.
"Alan, I have something to go out for a while. You hide here. There are food, drink and a lot of money in it. It can also lead to the outside of the house. In case I can't come back, you can go back to your mother's house with the money and marry again."
Hearing what her husband said, the wife was even more shocked than hearing the turmoil in the capital: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Where are you going at this time?And the meaning in the words is to seek death.
"Come down quickly." The wife stomped her feet anxiously, "If there is any chaos outside, if we don't call into the house, we'll be fine. Don't meddle in your own business."
The husband shook his head: "Alan, I don't have time. I'm leaving in a hurry. The military orders are overwhelming. What don't you understand? I have something hidden in the box. Just look at it and you'll understand."
After finishing speaking, he put down the cellar board to block his wife's shouts.
The wife stood in the cellar, both angry and frightened. The military order fell like a mountain. The husband was just a mason, and he went to work for half a month every month. Relying on herself to buy a farm and a house, after marrying her, she didn't suffer at all, and she was able to subsidize her mother's family——
Money, the wife thinks of what her husband said, a lot of money, what does it mean?
Her husband is a taciturn and honest man. She thought she knew him very well, but today she realized that he was very strange, especially the man standing in the dark on the cellar just now, that was by no means the husband's breath she was familiar with.
She picked up the lantern on the ground, walked into the cellar, walked through a long and narrow tunnel, and came to a wide area where there were many boxes. She opened them one by one and saw dry food and water. Yes, fresh, the last chest opened and her lantern dropped to the floor.
Money, vain silver.
Although the family does not have to worry about food and clothing, she has never seen so much money!
As a bricklayer, even if you are the best in the capital, you can't earn so much money!
The wife picked up the lantern and saw a letter in the box—see, the mason can write.
She learned to read with her father who studied since she was a child. Didn’t she know that her father-in-law, who is also a mason, might teach her husband to write?
She opened the letter tremblingly, and saw the rough font.
"I am not a mason, I am a scout of the Longwei Army. Every month I am not a mason, but a training camp."
"For more than ten years, I have never fulfilled my mission, but for more than ten years, I have never stopped training, and General Chu has never cut off our military pay."
"Alan, if you see this letter, it will be when I received the military order to kill the enemy. Life and death are uncertain, but I am very happy."
I was so happy that my wife burst into tears when she saw the letter.
This unlucky person can leave as soon as he says, and he can even say something he likes.
But thinking of the last time he saw his husband, in the dark, the dull and honest man's eyes burst into fire.
She read the letter for more than ten years.
After more than ten years of waiting, he was finally able to fulfill his mission, and finally had the meaning of existence, so he was very happy.
……
……
The gorgeous Yang's house was burning with raging fire, during which there were not many living people fleeing.
A group of soldiers and horses are like wolves, as long as they find someone who is still panting, they will go up and make up for it.
The killing has already made them red-eyed, the more they kill, the greater the credit, one by one rushing forward, one of them moves slowly, I don't know whether it's fear or reluctance, it looks a bit timid.
The person next to him advised him in a low voice: "Old Bai, what are you afraid of? The crown prince is already dead. Even if His Majesty is angry, the crown prince will not be able to survive. The whole world belongs to the third prince. If you don't hug this thigh, What else do you want? You are over 30, do you want to be a soldier for the rest of your life?"
He said this with excitement.
"Fortunately, our boss picked the third prince wisely, and we can also get promoted and make a fortune. It's not good for those idiots who stand still and lose their lives and get injured."
As he said that, he stopped, intending to give this old man a hand. This old man has always been honest in the army, he would not fight or grab, and he would do nothing but practice kung fu. What is the use of practicing kung fu in this capital? Got it, but still timidly.
