Empress Chu

"Since you haven't left yet, I have to confirm with you again." She said, "Young Master Liang——"

Liang Qiang interrupted her and said, "I am no longer the son."

Chu Zhao smiled and said, "Liang Junhou."

Just now she had already asked about Liang Qiang, and knew that their father and son had already fought for the official position.

Liang Qiang lowered her eyes: "Your Majesty, please tell me."

Chu Zhaodao: "What happened to your vanguard army when they encountered an ambush? Was there any internal strife?"

Liang Qiang was silent for a moment.

"Our [-] troops fought hard to break through the siege, and in the end there were less than [-] left." He said, "The soldiers from Xiliang were chasing after us, and - lured us to surrender."

Chu Zhaodao: "You don't want to, so they raised their knives at you?"

Liang Qiang was silent again, and then knelt down on one knee: "Mother, they are all good men, and they really have nowhere to go. I believe that even if they surrender to the enemy, it is a way to slow down the army - please give them a face."

This is undoubtedly the case, and the general next to him frowned: "How can it be possible? It is worse to surrender to the enemy than to flee in fear of war. Even if you die, you must be convicted and punished, and it will be announced to the public to serve as an example."

Chu Zhao looked at Liang Qiang who was kneeling on the ground, then at the general, and said, "Since the man is dead and we have won this battle, let's report the good news and not the bad news. Announcing the crime of surrendering to the enemy will only shake the morale of the army."

The general responded yes, but insisted: "But you can't pay for the death in battle, and you can't enter the mausoleum with the dead soldiers."

Chu Zhao nodded in good agreement.

The general took the order and left.

"Liang Junhou, get up." Chu Zhao looked at Liang Qiang who was still kneeling on the ground, and said.

Liang Qiang thanked him, stood up, still looking down slightly, but could feel the girl's gaze examining his arm.

Very serious, very focused, very—careful.

Liang Qiang clenched her hands hanging by her side, and heard the girl say softly, "Go back quickly and find the best doctor. Make sure to diagnose and treat carefully, so as not to leave sequelae."

Liang Qiang couldn't help raising her head and said, "I can kill the enemy with a knife even with one hand."

That is, the one-armed general Liang Qiang of the previous life was famous all over Daxia. After Uncle Zhong died, Liang Qiang and her father took over the frontier army and stabilized half of the country for Xiao Xun. She, the queen, took her place, and Chu Zhao sighed softly.

"If you have both arms, you will definitely be more brave." She said, looking at Liang Qiang, "Young Master Liang, life is bound to suffer, so please put aside your family and personal grudges, serve the country and the people, and protect the peace of the Great Xia. I will definitely not treat you badly."

Is this making peace with him?Liang Qiang turned her eyes away and said: "The law judges that he is guilty, and I dare not complain. I can only do my best to make atonement."

Of course Chu Zhao didn't believe that there was no complaint, but there was no need to say so much.

This time, he rescued Liang Qiang by accident and prevented him from losing his arm. I hope Liang Qiang can remember her kindness. It is best for her and Liang Shi to coexist peacefully. walk her things.

"Liang Junhou, it's getting late." Chu Zhao said, "Hurry up and go back to the camp for treatment."

Liang Qiang didn't respond, as if she was still thinking about something——

What he said earlier was too blunt.

Whatever the truth, it was the girl who kept his arm.

He should thank her.

And apologize to her, when he was in the capital for the last time, his attitude was not very good.

What's wrong with her friendship with Mrs. Xie? Everyone is after profit, isn't he too?

It is rare for them to meet on the battlefield today, which is probably God's will.

It was God's will, he couldn't miss it.

At this moment there is no one else, they are old acquaintances, she just called him Young Master Liang, he is still Young Master Liang in her eyes, then she is still Miss Chu in his eyes.

"Chu—" He turned his head and wanted to speak.

A female voice was louder than him: "Miss, Ah Jiu is back!"

Ah Jiu?Liang Qiang's voice was covered, and he also stopped to see the star-like eyes of the girl in front of him.

"Why so slow? Chasing the remnant soldiers for so long?" She said, raising her foot and was about to leave. After walking a few steps, she turned her head and said to Liang Qiang, "Liang Junhou, take good care of your wounds. Although the vanguard army is a little surprised, your contribution will still be true. report."

Liang Qiang bowed her head: "The general thank you for your kindness."

The footsteps were hasty, the girl's voice did not come again, Liang Qiang raised her head, and saw someone striding forward amidst the flickering lights and shadows.

Whether it was the dark alleys in the capital city or the dim night of the border battlefield, Liang Qiang recognized the young general at a glance.

Xie Yanlai.

Xie Yanlai is like a flying swallow, with black armor and white face, tall and straight, standing with hands behind his back.

The girl stood in front of him, looking around him.

Even if she couldn't hear the voice, Liang Qiang could still guess what she was talking about. Was she hurt?Are you okay?

But she probably wouldn't say to let the doctor see it quickly, but to see it herself.

The girl really stretched out her hand to grab Xie Yanlai's arm——

Someone stood up and blocked the view.

Liang Qiang was startled, seeing that it was a woman wearing a worn-out military robe, she seemed to be looking for something, she murmured: "Is there anything else I'm missing?"

Then she looked at him.

"Why are there still wounded soldiers?" She said in surprise, "Little brother, you are so seriously injured, follow me to heal quickly."

These are the maids beside Chu Zhao. Liang Qiang knew it and saw these women fighting the enemy with Chu Zhao with weapons. After the battle, he followed Chu Zhao to treat the wounded soldiers.

The woman had already stretched out her arms to support him enthusiastically.

Doing the same thing, but not the same person, Liang Qiang said coldly: "No need." Then she turned and left.

"See." Xiaoman came over, pouted, "Everyone she knows has a bad temper."

Mu Mianhong looked at the back of the young man and smiled: "It's okay to have a bad temper, it depends on how you feel."

Not far away, Chu Zhao was also looking at Liang Qiang's back, pointing to Xie Yan.

"It's Liang Qiang, Liang Qiang, remember?" she said.

Xie Yanlai looked at the top of his head: "I don't remember, what does the person you know have anything to do with me."

Chu Zhao laughed: "What do I know? You told her sister that you were married."

"Then I don't know each other either, unlike you—" Xie Yanlai looked down at her and sneered, "You can get close to other people while fighting with other sisters."

"Where did I become intimate with him?" Chu Zhao smiled, and then grabbed him and said happily, "Let me tell you, I saved his life."

Tell him what happened earlier.

Xie Yanlai passed her and looked into the distance, Liang Qiang's figure was gone - he saw this kid before he came over, hum.

"Mr. Pianpian has fallen to the point where I need you to save my life." He said, then looked down at the girl in front of him, "Do you think he appreciates you, or hates you more?"

Chu Zhao shook his head: "Yan Lai, don't be so gloomy all the time, you are young, think of more beautiful things."

Xie Yanlai heheed twice: "Your Majesty is beautiful and good at living in the light, Yanlai is different, I am not as lucky as your Majesty."

Chu Zhao raised his eyebrows and giggled: "So you know that I am kind-hearted, Ah Jiu."

Chapter 77 Rockfall

The bad-tempered young man walked away, Mu Mianhong and Xiaoman turned to look at this side, but saw the young man here, raised his hand and pressed the empress's head.

Kapok Hong chuckled.

Xiaoman rolled his eyes.

Mu Mianhong smiled and stretched out her hand to hold Xiaoman: "Come on, let's get busy."

"What are you busy with? We are here to help fight the war. After the war, we don't care about doing chores." Xiaoman was reluctant, and complained, "She can come and fight with Xie Yan when she has time, so she can't come and talk to you."

After receiving the message from Ding Dachui that Mumianhong assembled his subordinates to join Chu Zhao, Chu Zhao saluted and thanked the master, and never spoke to Mumianhong alone since then.

Kapok Hong didn't come in front of Chu Zhao either.

Hearing Xiaoman's complaint, Mu Mianhong only said: "You don't understand."

Xiaoman said angrily: "I'm the same age as her, why don't I understand what she understands."

Although he complained, he obediently followed Kapok Hong and walked away.

"Do you understand what I'm talking about?"

Xie Yanlai pressed Chu Zhao's forehead.

Chu Zhao smiled and said: "I understand, I understand, I understand, Liang Qiang is not trustworthy, the enmity has already been accomplished, and the favor is useless, but it makes him resent even more."

Xie Yanlai let go of her hand and said with a straight face, "Don't pretend you don't understand."

Chu Zhao rubbed his forehead: "I've been pretending, who do I trust, I don't trust anyone at first." He said with a smile, "Except for us Captain Xie."

Xie Yanlai was no longer afraid of her words, he heheed twice, and raised her hand to salute: "Thank you for your kindness." After saying that, she got up, "My lady, hurry back to the camp, I'm off to work."

It was a helpless move for Chu Zhao to bring troops here in person. As a queen, he could not stay here for a long time to avoid accidents.

Chu Zhao also knew this truth, nodded, and said: "Remember to wrap up the wound and apply medicine, you have an old wound."

Bringing up old injuries all day long is a big deal, Xie Yanlai said angrily: "I have been covered with old injuries since I was a child, and I have lived until now, and I haven't died."

Chu Zhao laughed, and raised his hand to him: "Aiqing will not spare her life for the country, go quickly."

Xie Yanlai spat, turned around and strode away, and couldn't help laughing, this woman is really - annoying to death.

At daybreak, Chu Zhao returned to the location of the Chinese army, and Zhong Changrong only put down half of his worries.

But it's not time to rest.

"Lubu Feijie has already sent it to the capital, which can appease the hearts of the people and the king."

"There is also this battle merit reward to be reported immediately, so as to stabilize the morale of the army."

Chu Zhaodao: "The left-wing army has rewards but also punishments."

Zhong Changrong nodded: "I know." But there was one thing he wanted to ask for instructions, "Liang Qiang and her father are both in the army."

Before Chu Zhao came back, he had sent Ding Sledgehammer to send a message to Zhong Changrong to investigate Liang Qiang's matter.

Zhong Changrong only found out after checking that the second master of the Liang family and his son had actually joined the army, and had done many meritorious deeds and received awards. Now they are both famous and powerful officials in the army.

Zhong Changrong also knew about the quarrel between Liang Siqing and Miss. Although the Liang family deserved to be imprisoned, he also knew that the Liang family must bear grudges against the Chu family.

"It's all my fault that I didn't read the list carefully, and let their father and son show up." He blamed himself, and said in a low voice, "But it's not a problem to let them disappear now."

Chu Zhao shook his head: "Their father and son do have military exploits, but deliberately suppressing them will cause trouble, and the credit should be given. Uncle Zhong, just remember to be wary of the Liang family."

Zhong Changrong responded, hesitated for a moment, and said again: "Then, who, what is the credit for?"

Chu Zhao didn't react: "Then who?"

Zhong Changrong turned his face and said, "Mumianhong, she has done a lot for helping you. Then, our military order is like a mountain, and rewards and punishments are clearly defined, and personal hatred is not considered."

Of course he has a personal grudge, but the other generals pulled him to tell him that the general is gone, after all, children and parents are of one blood, it is impossible to be tough, but it will push the young lady towards that woman, right in the woman's heart, so Be ingenious.

Zhong Changrong, a rough old man, has never had a clever mind in his life, but for the sake of the general, for the sake of breath, he worked hard to learn cleverness.

The ingenuity is, follow along.

If this woman has done meritorious service, then she will be rewarded for her meritorious service. If she asks for other things from the young lady at that time, she will make an inch of her progress, and the young lady will also be able to see her despicability and shamelessness.

Seeing Zhong Changrong's expression, Chu Zhao couldn't help laughing.

"They don't count as meritorious service." She said, "At most, it counts as atonement, so there is no need for rewards."

Zhong Changrong was overjoyed: "Miss is right."

"Don't make their identities public." Chu Zhao continued.

Zhong Changrong was even more pleased: "Okay, okay." Since the lady took the initiative to say it, it would not be too much for him to say something bad about the woman, "Their identities are really unbearable, and if the world knows it, it is not good for the general."

Mentioning the general made Zhong Changrong feel sad.

"She is so ruthless, and we don't need to be righteous."

Chu Zhao opened his mouth and swallowed the words.

In fact, that's not what she meant. The reason why she didn't announce the identity of Mu Mianhong was not because of her reputation, but because of her own interests.

In that life, Xiao Xun kept the horse of Mu Mianhong from her and used it for herself, but in this life, she has to hide it from everyone in the world in case of emergencies.
