The rebirth of the son-in-law

Chu He stood under the eaves for an unknown long time.

She stared blankly at a crumbling leaf on the branch. The leaf was yellow and was about to fall off. She was so fascinated that she didn't even notice that Song Zhi stood behind her for a long time.

Song Zhi knew she had something on her mind.

After returning from Song Zhi's tomb, it has been like this these days.Sometimes I look at the branches in front of the court in a daze, and sometimes I can be distracted when listening to the news of the war and the reply of the White Clothes Order, and I even get less close to her.

Even in the embrace, Song Zhi could feel Chu He's absent-mindedness.

Perhaps, her thoughts can be traced back to an earlier time, not just this time when she came back from Song Fang's tomb.It's just that it was well concealed before, but now it can't be concealed.

Song Zhi felt that Chu He's concerns were related to her.I went to the tomb that day, but found nothing.Song Zhi found nothing but the same inscription and Song Fang's coffin.It was empty, as if nothing really existed.

She frowned, reached into her sleeve, and touched the seal that Chu He gave her.

Forever.

The four characters on the small square inch seal flowed into her heart from her fingertips, with a hint of sweetness amidst the bitterness.

Song Zhi didn't wait for Chu He to recover, she walked up to Chu He, and the two stood side by side, looking up at the leaf.

"What are you thinking?"

Chu He came back to his senses, turned his head to look at her, his eyes flickered.She groaned for a while, then turned her head to look at the leaves, until a gust of wind blew the leaves off the branches, and slowly whirled and fell to the ground, silently.

She let out a sigh: "Falling leaves return to their roots, falling leaves return to their roots."

Song Zhi was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "Prefect Yingchuan is here to invite you to order soldiers. The thieves are almost at the door of your house. You are not in a hurry, but you are suddenly too interested in talking about the metaphysics of life."

Chu He turned his head again and looked at her fixedly: "Where are you?"

"Crossing the river."

"Oh."

She responded, but said nothing.

Song Zhi frowned, pushed her lightly, and wondered, "What's wrong with you? It's not like you to insist on being so frustrated."

The corners of Chu He's lips curled up, and there was loneliness and melancholy in his eyes: "The mountains and rivers are broken, and the family and the country are gone. The thirteen states are on fire, and the horns are blowing every night. Ah Zhi, it's too dangerous here, and I'm not sure that I can turn the tide. What should I do?" ?”

"It's not people who can turn the tide, it's God." Song Zhi put away the teasing, hiding the worry between his brows, but still smiled and said, "Besides, I believe you can do it, even if you can't, then try your best and you'll be fine." I have a clear conscience.”

"In the world, I can have a clear conscience." Chu He lowered his eyes, hiding the strange brilliance in his eyes, "But for you, I dare not say that I have tried my best, and I can have a clear conscience."

Song Zhi understood the meaning of her words, opened his hands and took her into his arms, nodded slightly and said, "I understand everything."

No matter what Chu He does, she can understand.

Chu He raised his eyelids, with a smile in his eyes, and said softly, "Azhi, although you can't go back, this is your home and I won't put you in any danger."

Song Zhi leaned on her shoulder and nodded subtly.

After a long while, Chu He asked: "Tell me, Chen Chao...is he exhausted?"

Song Zhi froze.

Chu He felt it, and his smile gradually disappeared.She patted Song Zhi's shoulder reassuringly, let go of Song Zhi, and the two looked at each other.She said softly: "Actually, needless to say, I know. I haven't asked because I don't think it's that bad. But now I can feel the breath of the end."

She turned around, turned to Song Zhi, and looked at the sky: "There is no dynasty that lasts forever. It's just that I don't want to be a subjugated person, and I can't bear to see it. Instead, the emperor and the king may not be complete. Prosperity. In your words, the current Chen Dynasty is a mess, the last emperor took away the last trace of luck, even if I want to save it, I can't save it."

Song Zhi has been by Chu He's side for many years. When he first met Chu He, he wanted to get rid of his interests and get out of the court. Later, he expanded the power in Xianning, which somewhat meant taking power for a price.Now she fully understands that even if she can really seize the throne, what she will get is a country riddled with holes.It may not be possible to let the king of Changsha clean up step by step. Chu He's plan cannot keep up with the speed of the dynasty's decline.

Song Zhi actually knew from the day he woke up that Chen Chao had entered the countdown.But it has nothing to do with her, she just wanted to survive at first, and later became a commoner, she thought she could live like this for the rest of her life, but soon, the calculations of the emperor and the princess made her understand that she had no chance to be a commoner, and being a commoner would only be a A dead end.

She worked hard to do printing in Changsha, improve the level of science and technology, and change the people's thinking, just to save and preserve the vitality of this dynasty.However, who would have expected that in the general trend of the world, neither Princess Xianning nor she is the protagonist, and even people like Changsha King can only be regarded as supporting roles.

The emperor died and the world was divided, and the two dragons fought to disable their siblings.Fights are raging everywhere, and Zhang Wang and Li Xielun are the masters.It's because she doesn't believe in evil that she knows it can't be done, and it's because she really has feelings for this era and the people of this era.

Therefore, when she felt that Song Fang's tomb had returned to its historical appearance, she was extremely uneasy.History is repairing her changes. Even if she tried her best to make Chu Lang a powerful king, there was no way to revive Da Chen.Chu He realized that the fire she extinguished would be rekindled, and also realized that she wanted to save lives, but she was powerless.

Realizing that she still has to complete her mission, this is the most painful thing.The only consolation is that Song Zhi stays with her to face the suffering together.

"Are you ready?" Chu He whispered.

"what?"

"Killing is saving lives."

"From day one, I was ready."

Song Zhi's gaze was firmer than ever before.

Chu He stared at her for a few seconds, his brows and eyes relaxed, he lowered his head, smiled, and hugged her tightly.

The king of Changsha did not return to Linxiang, but handed over the army to Shen Yan. With Shen Yan as the main force and Bai Liu as the auxiliary, the two armies advanced separately.Yu Du followed Bai Liu to make suggestions.Chu Lang only brought Feng Ma and a few people, and rushed back to Linxiang City overnight.

The death of the Empress Dowager might have made Changsha even more turbulent, but Princess Liancheng, Prime Minister of the State, and Tingwei Zhang He took control of Linxiang City through a three-pronged approach.Linxiang City is not chaotic, and Changsha Kingdom is not easy to be chaotic. Even if there are people who don't have a good eye to stir up trouble at this time, they will be suppressed by Chu Lang who came back in time.

There is no king in the court, and the queen mother's death cannot be reported to the court.But after hearing the news, the prince repaired an order to mourn the queen mother, and took the initiative to award Jiaozhou, Yangzhou, and Yizhou to the king of Changsha, who were captured by Chu Lang, and Jin made the king of Changsha the king of Jing.

The king of Jing, Chu Lang, was very powerful, extending to Minyue in the east and south of Shu in the west.But because of this, the power is the loosest, because they are all newly acquired lands, and the hearts of the people have not yet been attached.

Chu Lang held the empress dowager's funeral extremely grandly, personally supported the coffin and held the flag, and led his younger sister Chu Yan and all the civil and military officials to cry for ten miles.Because he fainted several times from crying, all the officials were frightened, fearing that he would collapse if he couldn't bear it.

Chu Lang, who was immersed in grief, really fell ill, and just after finishing the funeral affairs, he became groggy and had a fever that day.Fortunately, Chu Yan was there to suppress the turmoil of the officials, otherwise I don't know what troubles will arise.

The unruly and willful princess in the past has grown up slowly. After experiencing blows and family changes, she also restrained her temper and made the princess look good.

The envoys sent by Chu Xiu to offer condolences not only honored Chu Lang as King of Jing, but also honored Chu Yan as Soochow Princess, which by the way revealed the intention of wooing an alliance.As soon as Chu Lang fell ill, the negotiations were delayed.After the prime minister and the envoy had confronted each other, Chu Lang gave a vague reply, saying that the country was in mourning, and he couldn't grieve.

Later, Chu Shu also sent someone to win Chu Lang over with the same conditions.It's just that he didn't expect that the person who came was actually the former Zhonglang General in Baiyi, and now the Zuo General Jiayi in Baiyi.Jia Yi didn't know why, so he took refuge in Chu Shu, and then Chu Shu stopped defeating, leading his people to a stalemate with Chu Xiu.

Within a few days, the envoys of Chu Shu and Chu Xiu tried their best to win Chu Lang over.Some move with emotion, some understand with reason, some lure with profit, and there are endless means, all in a hurry to get Chu Lang to express his position.

After more than ten days of negotiations, Chu Lang declared his position and decided to recognize Chu Shu as orthodox and accept Chu Shu's reward.The people sent by Chu Xiu were extremely angry, but they didn't dare to express any objection to Chu Lang.After inquiring back, it turned out that the Shen family put pressure on Chu Lang to make Chu Lang belong to the Prince Shu's sect supported by Song Xu.

Of course, this is only nominal support. If Chu Shu thinks that this can mobilize or order Chu Lang, it is a big mistake.Temporarily submitting to Chu Shu, Chu Lang can justifiably hold all the places he occupies more firmly.

Why did Chu Shu and Chu Xiu suddenly care about Chu Lang, and even wanted to make Chu Lang surrender temporarily at a huge price?The reason is that the rebels from the north drove straight in and hit the vicinity of Gyeonggi. If Chu Lang took advantage of the opportunity to enter at this time, then the Chu Shu brothers would naturally face the enemy, and they might be defeated.

"kill--"

"kill--"

"kill--"

The sound of shouting and killing on the wall resounded through the sky, deafening.Soldiers in helmets and armours exchanged weapons on the top of the city tower, clattering and fighting together, the aisle was full of people, the sound of fighting was endless, disturbing, and the bloody rain of swords, lights and swords was full of murderous aura.

The soldiers in the red armor at the bottom popped up desperately, like endless, chopping down one, and another.The soldiers guarding the city were even more ferocious, fearless of death, each with a knife and a gun, and killed the enemy in the fastest way.

The bows and arrows from the turret made a whistling sound, flying towards the dense crowd below the city, and quickly shot down a section of people, leaving a piece of land, but the soldiers and horses beside them filled the gap desperately and tried their best to climb up the city.
