Empress Chu

Xie Yanlai squinted at her and didn't take another step.

"Why didn't you say that we were reinforcements sent by my father?" Chu Zhao asked with a smile.

At that time she hadn't approached yet, Xie Yanlai had already called out her identity to the officials in the city.

She concealed her identity all the way, and she didn't even tell the local garrison when she was hesitant to move forward. Now the journey was smooth, but her identity was exposed?

"I'm not blaming you." Chu Zhao said again, "I mean, that would increase my father's prestige even more."

Xie Yanlai snorted, "Am I afraid you will blame me?" Looking down at the girl from above, she said coldly, "Your father is your father, and you are you. Although you are father and daughter, you are not one, and you Father is about to die, and his prestige will be lost after he dies. You are still alive, and you will live on. Compared with your father, you have more prestige."

After finishing speaking, he shook his sleeves and broke away from Chu Zhao's hand, and strode out.

Chu Zhao looked at the flapping curtain, dazed and dumbfounded.

She always thought that she was unlucky, even when she woke up and worked hard, she held her breath until she let out that breath at this moment.

She is lucky to meet such a person who thinks of herself in this life.

She raised her head and called, "Come here."

Lao Bai walked in in response, and bowed his head to Chu Zhao to obey the order.

Chu Zhaodao: "Decree, Lubu, to report to the Queen the great victory against the Xiliang soldiers in Wangcheng."

……

……

Xie Yanlai left Chu Zhao's place, and did not go back to eat, but came to another house.

Soldiers and horses are stationed at the gate of the city, one is for vigilance, and the other is not to disturb the people, after all, this place has just experienced a siege.

Only the female relatives followed Chu Zhao to live in.

When Xie Yanlai approached, birdsong rang out from the eaves, like a frightened bird flying past——

Xie Yan didn't even raise her head, but raised her hand and pushed the door open. With a bang, people rushed in wrapped in cold air, and a man and a woman in the room were startled.

Ding Dachui sat on the chair, staring stiffly, as if he forgot to get up.

It was the woman—Aunt Ding who was surprised and hurriedly saluted: "Captain Xie."

Xie Yanlai looked at the two of them, and said lightly, "Uncle and Auntie, don't blame me for entering without invitation."

Ding Dachui's body stiffened, and he stammered, "——what?"

Aunt Ding was still covering her face, but she could feel her smile from her eyes. After taking her husband's words, she said, "Thank you, sir——"

Before he could express his anger, Xie Yanlai had already spoken again.

"—Because you, Aunt Ding, have already received the alert for my coming, so you don't need to ask me more times." He said.

The young man was tall and slender, with an unruly face. With a hook of his long legs, he brought a chair over, and Da Ma Jindao sat on it, looking at the two of them coldly.

When Xie Yanlai first came, she first met Ding Dachui and the others, staring at them one by one, even Aunt Ding, and asked politely why she was covering her face.

Aunt Ding said that she had been injured and her face was disabled, and she was afraid that she would make people feel ashamed.

Xie Yanlai laughed at the time: "Auntie, who are you afraid of scaring? Scaring the people around you? Then they are not worthy of being your companions. As for scaring other people, isn't that appropriate?"

When he said this, Chu Zhao poked him several times in the back, but seeing that he ignored the poking, he simply said that there were other things and dragged him away.

Afterwards, Xie Yanlai didn't bother about masking anymore, and he stopped staring at these kind-hearted hunters, forming troops against them, shouting and shouting like the soldiers around him.

To this day, sitting here, watching these two people.

"Why did Uncle Ding come here?" Xie Yanlai asked, "Don't you husband and wife know how to avoid taboos? You are strangers than strangers along the way."

"I'm the head of the house, and I twisted my arm." Aunt Ding said, "I'm worried, so I asked him to come and have a look."

As he spoke, he glanced at Xie Yanlai.

"This husband and wife get along with each other with their hearts out. They seem strange, but they are actually thinking about each other."

Tell him what to do, who cares about how their husband and wife get along, Xie Yanlai sneered, raised her eyebrows and said: "Why did you twist your arm? I didn't see Ding Dachui when you went to kill the enemy before, did you get injured?"

He was talking about Ding Dahui, but he looked at Aunt Ding with a smile that was not a smile at the corner of his mouth.

Aunt Ding lowered her eyes and poked Ding Dahammer with her hand: "What are you talking about, what's there to be ashamed of?"

Ding Dachui was poked, his body stiffened, and he said, "Because I was frightened, so I couldn't stand firmly, fell down, and got dislocated."

After he finished speaking, Aunt Ding went on to say, "We really didn't expect Miss to be so extraordinary—"

Xie Yanlai laughed: "Auntie, don't be so humble, what did you not think of? If you didn't think of it, you would be persuaded by a little girl to work hard for her?"

Aunt Ding seemed to have a smile in her eyes, and once again stretched out her hand to poke Ding Dahammer at the side: "The head of the house—"

"Okay, auntie, there's no need to pretend." Xie Yan came to interrupt her and said, "You are the one in charge. This Uncle Ding is not your husband, or, yes, but he is just a puppet."

That's right, he is a puppet, or a puppet that can be beaten at will. Finally, someone saw it. The corners of Ding Dachui's eyes almost shed tears. This woman is a big bandit. He moved his mind a little, moved his body a little, and was almost torn apart by this woman——

The Captain Xie in front of him may be comparable to this woman in fighting, but before he is comparable, it is easy for this woman to deal with him.

Ding Dachui stiffened and continued to be a puppet.

Aunt Ding lowered her head, unable to hide the smile in her eyes anymore, then raised her head and looked at the young general.

"Yes." She said, "I am indeed the head of the family. We also guessed that the lady is an extraordinary person, but we will never guess that the lady will be a dragon and phoenix in the world. This scene is really frightening."

freaked out?Xie Yanlai looked into the woman's eyes, she couldn't see the slightest fright, only joy——

"Do you think you have made a fortune?" He said lightly.

Aunt Ding said: "Yes, I got lucky." This time, without waiting for the young general to interrogate, she took the initiative to say, "People of our status originally only wanted to ask for money, but now that we have such an opportunity, we just want to ask for another chance." .”

Xie Yan came to look at her. Since this woman admitted that she is the head of the family, although she is still weak, her aura is different.

"If you want something, you need to know what to do and what not to do." He said lightly.

Aunt Ding didn't answer, but asked with a smile in her eyes: "You should have seen our desire for money with your own eyes, right? That's why we can still sit here today."

Xie Yanlai looked at the woman, neither happy nor angry.

Aunt Ding was not panicked, and saluted solemnly: "General, we are notorious for living in mere ignorance, and being able to saddle up for the empress is a great thing that fell from the sky. Please thank General, and then we will look at our intentions for luck."

"The head of the family is indeed extraordinary." Xie Yanlai stood up, looked at the woman, and said quietly, "Since the head of the house knows that I am watching, then don't blame me for not pleasing your eyes, and cut off your heads—"

When he said this, there were footsteps outside the door.

"Ah Jiu—" a female voice called.

Impatientness appeared on Xie Yanlai's cold face, and he didn't answer.

The girl had already opened the door and came in, with a bright smile on her face.

"You are indeed here," she said, waving at him, "I was just looking for you."

Xie Yanlai said coldly: "The last general is not your follower, the empress has ordered to find Lao Bai."

Chu Zhao ignored his cold face at all, and grabbed his sleeve: "It's important, it's a big thing, I can't do it without you, come with me." After saying that, he walked out.

Xie Yanlai was afraid that his sleeve would be torn, so he could only follow him out: "Chu Zhao! Pay attention to your identity."

Chu Zhao turned his head and smiled: "I have a high status, who can do anything to me?"

Xie Yanlai laughed heartily: "That's great, Miss Azhao, it's not the time to be hesitant to leave the imperial city."

Chu Zhao also smiled: "Okay, stop talking nonsense." Looking back at the room here, she saw Aunt Ding standing at the door watching her off, she smiled at her, then looked back at Xie Yanlai, "You're threatening again! What are people doing?"

Xie Yanlai raised her chin and looked at her: "Don't you think you're pretending to be deaf-mute, so people really think you're pretending to be deaf-mute?" Then he sneered, "If people use it, don't they ask?"

Chu Zhao knew that as soon as Xie Yanlai came, she would stare at the bandits like Ding Dachui like a cat. Looking around with her eyes, she almost took these bandits out of her mind. Thinking of this, she couldn't help laughing.

"Don't tell me if you see it through." She said, "I know they know it, they know it and I know it, so that's fine."

Having said that, he snorted again.

"At the beginning, you insisted on telling me to tell the truth, and made me go this way again today."

Xie Yanlai's eyes sank: "I am a person who is afraid of death, if you want to tell the truth about all dangers, Ms. Chu is not afraid, please do whatever you want." After saying that, she flicked her sleeves and strode forward.

"Why are you so angry?" Chu Zhao smiled and chased after him, "I don't blame you, I wasn't so stingy in the past, so don't be so stingy—"

The two were getting farther and farther away in sight one after the other, and couldn't hear what was said, but Aunt Dante was still standing at the door and watching, with a smile in her eyes.

"Thank you, general, not bad." She nodded.

Ding Dachui couldn't help but said, "He's too fierce, he's not bad."

It was fierce to them, and it was also fierce to that lady.

"He was fierce to us because he was worried about that young lady and wanted to protect her well." Aunt Ding said with a smile.

So that lady is not afraid of him at all.

Aunt Ding looked into the distance, the girl was waddling and chatting and laughing beside the young general, the young general ignored him as he strode with his shoulders straight, but his hands behind his back were hooked together, his little tail finger wobbling.

Chapter 60 What

"Report-"

"The Xiliang soldiers outside Yunzhong County were punished—"

"Great victory, Wangcheng great victory—"

"Queen Chu's Great Victory in the City—"

The speeding post soldiers passed through the city with flying silk banners flying behind their backs, and the already busy streets instantly exploded like firecrackers.

On the box on the second floor, Qi Leyun pushed the window open with two bangs, and the cold wind rushed in with the noise.

The girls in thin clothes complained, "Qi Leyun, what are you doing!"

Qi Leyun stood by the window and said loudly: "Let everyone hear clearly."

The girls blamed, "Do you still have to listen like this?" "We heard it clearly a long time ago."

These people are either rich or expensive, and they are well-informed. This time it is Lubu Feijie again. Before arriving in the capital, the family has already got the news.

Everyone ignored Qi Leyun by the window and looked at Chu Tang who was sitting in the middle.

"A Tang, what's going on?" "Why did Chu Zhao go to Bianjun?"

Chu Tang stretched out his hand to hold his heart: "I can finally say this matter. I have worked so hard to hide it. You don't know that my heart and body have suffered—"

The girls interrupted without waiting for her to speak, shaking, "Leave your heart and your body alone." "Tell me what's going on!"

Chu Tang was shaken so much that he laughed, and walked a few steps away from the girls.

"This matter is very simple. When everyone in the capital accused my uncle of being ineffective as a general and lamented the suffering of the people, Chu Zhao led the troops out of the palace—" She stood still, stretched out her hand and waved forward, as if Sword, cut down, "Go straight to the border county, kill the thieves, and save the people."

It's very simple, it sounds very simple, but it's so far away and so dangerous - the girls looked at her excitedly.

Chu Tang turned to look at everyone: "This is me, the Chu family, who saves the country and protects the people, and is not afraid of infamy or danger. We don't talk about it, we just do it."

Qi Leyun clapped at the window: "How can we not say it! It happened before that General Chu was scolded, and now he has meritorious service, so he must praise it! Ah Tang, Chu Garden has a banquet, post a post, and all come to praise the queen!"

……

……

"absurd!"

In the main hall of the court, after a long time, everyone was talking about the queen.

Before Lubu Feijie entered Beijing, most officials of the imperial court had also received the news, and blocked the location of the Tai Tuo and Third Young Master Xie at that time.

Let's not talk about why the queen appeared in Bianjun, first suppress the news, just talk about the victory, not the queen.

But it was still useless, Lubu Feijie crossed the town and went straight to the capital in the name of the queen, and everyone knew about it.

In the court hall, Manchu civil and military officials questioned the grand tutor, including Xie Yanfang, and the little emperor sitting on the dragon chair.

By now everyone has understood.

"There is a lot of rumors outside that the queen and the deep palace are disturbed when they hear the suffering of the people, and they lead the troops to the border at night-it's all fake!"

The queen was not in the deep palace before this incident.

The court officials looked at the dragon chair. The curtain behind the dragon chair was still hanging, and there had been no one behind it for a long time—of course, there should have been no one behind the curtain.

At that time, it was said that the queen's injury relapsed when she rescued the emperor and she had to rest and recuperate, so she could no longer accompany the emperor to court—they hoped that she would never recover from the injury for the rest of her life.

Cheers for this, thank God for having eyes.
