The soldier dressed in the Xiangyang soldier's costume looked around, suddenly hurried a few steps, and knelt on the ground with one knee towards the King of Xiangyang, who was directly in front of him, and hurriedly said: "My lord, it's not good, there are a large number of soldiers and horses outside Xiangyang, intending to attack Xiangyang!"

"What did you say!?"

General Cheng's eyes widened with anger, and he stepped forward to ask for clarification, but was stopped by King Xiangyang raising his hand.

King Xiangyang glanced sideways at the location of the main hall, with an inexplicable expression, then turned his head and looked at the soldiers in front of him with a smile: "You raise your head."

The soldier's hands supporting the ground trembled, and he raised his head nervously: "My lord, Xiangyang..."

"We'll talk about this later." King Xiangyang looked at him carefully, "I don't seem to have seen you?"

The soldier swallowed a mouthful of saliva, not daring to move too much, and said submissively: "Because the villain has an ordinary face, even the people around him can hardly remember the villain's appearance."

"is it?"

Stretching out his hand to pinch the soldier's jaw, the King of Xiangyang showed a bit of teasing in his eyes, which made the soldier feel chills: "This king looks very handsome, and it's not hard to remember."

Beads of sweat slid down the soldier's cheeks: "...Your Highness is joking."

Gently hooking his lips again, King Xiangyang's hand traced the soldier's trembling skin to the neck, and slowly closed it.

Feeling the increasing strength on the neck, the soldier widened his eyes, looked at the King of Xiangyang tremblingly, and struggled to speak: "King, lord...you are..."

"Looking at how brave you are, you rushed from Xiangyang to Chang'an overnight, and this king will ask you one last question." As if he was not holding a human life in his hands, the King of Xiangyang showed a warm and kind smile, "Which barracks do you belong to? Who is leading it?"

At the beginning, there were not many guards, only Cao Yuan was fighting, and Qin Ce was in charge of guarding Chu Huaiqing. Later, the sound attracted more people. Chu Huaiqing might change later, and persuaded his lord to enter the battlefield with a few words. He personally passed five levels and killed six generals, and went straight to Emperor Qianning's bedroom, scaring a whole palace of people dumbfounded.

Seeing Qin Ce rushing in front of him, Emperor Qianning turned pale with shock: "Third Emperor brother?" Immediately afterwards, he glanced at the countless palace servants lying on the ground, "What are you doing?"

"I have seen Your Majesty, and I have no choice but to make such a decision. Please forgive me." Chu Huaiqing simply saluted, and said sincerely, "The king of Xiangyang has not left the palace yet, let alone when he will return. There is not much time left. I implore Your Majesty will make my Lord king as soon as possible!"

Hearing the last sentence, Emperor Gan Ning was so angry that he pointed at Chu Huaiqing and trembled with anger: "What are you talking about!?"

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

Chu Huaiqing raised his head, did not evade Emperor Qianning's anger, and said sonorously: "Your Majesty summoned His Highness for the purpose of becoming a king. If Your Majesty does not make my lord king, how can my lord have a reason to escape? At that time As long as the King of Xiangyang decides that my Lord is not responsible for respecting the Holy One, he can lead his troops to kill my Lord in an instant, who will be able to save His Majesty from the minions of the King of Xiangyang in the future!?"

"you……"

Never expecting such a reason, Emperor Qianning was stunned, and turned his head to look at Qin Ce. Qin Ce lowered his head sadly, then raised his eyes, his eyes were clear and resolute: "Your brother knows, and you have received three in succession!" The state is very serious, no one will believe that it is a coincidence, and the emperor should be jealous and suspicious, but you know the temperament of the emperor, I have never cared about power, fame and fortune, and I have never been with the emperor since I was a child. Brother Yu Chen, what have you fought for? A lifetime of stability is enough, so how could you do such a dangerous thing of conspiracy and rebellion?"

Emperor Gan Ning was silent.

Chu Huaiqing glanced anxiously at the guards rushing outside the hall: "Your Highness, time is running out, otherwise we should leave first."

Qin Ce hesitated and said, "But..."

"Since you are going to escape and plan to save me, why don't you take me with you now?" Emperor Qianning's eyes darkened.

Qin Ce was startled, as if he had just thought of this: "Otherwise, Brother Huang, you will come with us—"

"Your Highness!"

Chu Huaiqing yelled loudly: "You are Your Highness, but His Majesty is the Ninth Five-Year King. Who can bear the charge of kidnapping the Emperor!? Your Highness, you lead the Emperor on the front foot, and the King of Xiangyang can send troops to chase after him. No need to hide it!"

Qin Ce also roared angrily: "Could it be possible for me to watch the emperor's brother being held hostage by King Xiangyang without doing anything!?"

"The King of Xiangyang will not move His Majesty rashly! Besides, we only have 30 soldiers and horses in our hands now, while the King of Xiangyang has more than [-]!" Chu Huaiqing seemed to be excited, his cheeks flushed, "I don't want to escape , if we don’t form an alliance with the prefects of various prefectures, why should we repel King Xiangyang and save His Majesty!”

"Okay, shut up for me!"

Emperor Qian Ning stopped the two quarreling with his voice, and supported his forehead weakly: "Sir Emperor, I believe in you."

"Brother Emperor..." Qin Ce looked at Emperor Qianning, his eyes flickered, as if he was deeply moved, and then filled with pain and self-blame, "It's my brother who is incompetent."

"You have done a good job, Third Emperor."

Emperor Gan Ning tried to smile, but his sorrowful face completely covered the slight arc. He patted Qin Ce's shoulder, and seemed to think of something: "But you haven't performed the crowning ceremony yet, will you? Being caught by the King of Xiangyang?"

"Brother Huang, don't worry." Qin Ce glanced at Chu Huaiqing annoyedly, "My younger brother has already performed the crowning ceremony, and the one who wears the crown for my younger brother is Mr. Chu."

Emperor Qianning looked at Chu Huaiqing in surprise: "He?"

Chu Huaiqing calmed down, bowed her body and remained silent, while Qin Ce replied, "He is my brother's teacher. If Mr. Chu hadn't existed, I'm afraid my brother would have died long ago."

Emperor Gan Ning wanted to ask something more, but there was an increasing noise outside the hall.

"Your Highness, Mr. Chu, there are more and more people!" Cao Yuan shouted repeatedly, "Hurry up, if you don't leave, it will be too late!"

The three of them became quiet, and Emperor Qianning took the lead in saying, "Third Brother, come with me."

"Yes."

When he came to the desk, Emperor Qianning pushed the jade scroll away with one hand, put the tip of the pen in his mouth and moistened it, and quickly wrote: "The king of Xiangyang summoned you, and he didn't intend to let you go back. Therefore, he didn't let me write the title of king decree."

"Brother..."

Throwing away the writing brush casually, Emperor Qianning took out the national seal, stained it with ink pad, and stamped heavily on the tail. After repeating it, he rolled up the imperial decree a few times and handed it to Qin Ce: "I planned to recall you at the end of autumn. Prince Gongxian, I didn't expect to be so many days late."

Never really looking directly at Emperor Qianning, looking at the ink stains on the corner of Emperor Qianning's mouth at this moment, Qin Ce's heart was touched, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only call out: "Brother Huang."

"Okay, don't hesitate anymore, just take it and go quickly." Emperor Qianning looked at Qin Ce, "Be careful on the road."

Qin Ce said, "It's... Brother Emperor."

If he was attacked by a heavy hammer, the soldier who couldn't answer was in a cold sweat. Just as he was about to die, there was another call from behind him. The man was also wearing the uniform of a Xiangyang soldier. , a large number of soldiers and horses invaded Xiangyang, and the military division asked the villain to inform the prince!"

Soldier: ...Didn't Mr. Chu say that he only brought a set of Xiangyang soldiers' clothes?

King Xiangyang frowned, threw the soldier on the ground, and looked at the man: "Did Gongsun Ji ask you to come?"

"Yes, my lord!" The man took out a letter and handed it over with both hands, "This is a pen written by the military master who asked the villain to bring it to the lord."

The King of Xiangyang took the letter half-believingly, took a look at it, his face darkened instantly, and he hurried forward: "Cheng Gai, immediately go and collect [-] soldiers and horses, and go back to Xiangyang with this king. He Wei, you take the remaining Pay [-] to defend Chang'an!"

Another man standing next to the King of Xiangyang said yes, and General Cheng was also busy going to the place where the barracks was stationed. The real soldiers of Xiangyang chased the King of Xiangyang and left. The soldiers looked around and no one cared about him. After saving his life, he quickly got up from the ground and ran away.

Before the carriage left, the three of Qin Ce and the soldier arrived almost at the same time. Seeing the soldier, Chu Huaiqing was obviously relieved.

Being dragged into the carriage by his companions, seeing that there were not many people in the carriage, the soldier couldn't help but said, "Mr. Chu, I don't understand something."

After calming down her beating heart, Chu Huaiqing ordered the groom to leave quickly, and said casually, "What's wrong?"

"When I went to report false news to the King of Xiangyang just now, he saw it out." The soldier said, "But not long after, soldiers from Xiangyang actually appeared and reported that Xiangyang was attacked, and the villain was able to escape."

Cao Yuan put down the curtains of the car, and said, "Nobody came after me, it seems like they were all taken away."

Chu Huaiqing paused slightly, the joy of escape from death dissipated a lot, and frowned puzzledly.

Is it true that someone is attacking Xiangyang?

After thinking about it for a long time, Chu Huaiqing looked at Qin Ce, but found that Qin Ce was concentrating on the imperial decree in his hand, and seemed to have not heard their conversation.

Could it be that what Emperor Qianning said just now had an impact on the lord?

After all, the lord is a very affectionate person...

Sensing Chu Huaiqing's gaze, Qin Ce was startled for a moment, then smiled again: "Why are you looking at me like that, sir?"

"Ah, it's okay."

"Thank you sir this time, you saved my life again." Qin Ce said, "But when I saw my husband coming alone, I was really taken aback."

The rest of the people, including Cao Yuan, all looked at Chu Huaiqing who 'came alone'.

Chu Huaiqing coughed lightly: "It's not just my fault."

Qin Ce smiled, clasped his fists to the others and said, "Qin Ce would like to thank you all."

Those people hurriedly waved their hands in panic: "Your Highness is serious, it is the duty of your subordinates to share your worries for His Highness."

Chu Huaiqing said, "Your Highness, what should we do now?"

"No matter who is attacking Xiangyang, it is a good thing for us." Qin Ce said with a smile, "The king of Xiangyang will not do anything else in a short time, and we can also take advantage of this time to recruit more soldiers and horses." .”

Chu Huaiqing paused, and then said: "After recruiting soldiers and horses, should we immediately rescue Emperor Qianning?" Although it was difficult, it was not impossible.

Unexpectedly, Qin Ce shook his head without even thinking about it: "Saving him now is not worth the candle."

Under Chu Huaiqing's slightly surprised eyes, Qin Ce put aside the imperial decree, calm as usual: "Let's go back to Pingzhou first."
