Empress Chu

Xiaoman turned her head and looked aside without speaking.

Zhong Changrong said coldly: "No one else is needed, we can get through again, it's not that there are no people."

Chu Zhao said to Zhong Changrong: "Naturally, our manpower has to do things, but there are some things that Xiaoman can do better." She lowered her head and pondered for a moment, picked up a pen and wrote a short message, and took out a seal to cover it , Pretend to hand it to Xiaoman, "Don't worry about the rest, just give this letter to Chu Tang."

Although Xiaoman turned her head and didn't speak, she reached out and grabbed the letter, turned and left.

Zhong Changrong ignored the little girl and asked Chu Zhao, "Are you worried that the Eldest Master's family is in danger?"

No way, Chu Lan's family is in the capital, if the capital is worry-free, what can they do?

Xie Yanlai on the side made two oh oh.

"Teacher of Justice." He said, looking at Chu Zhao with raised eyebrows and a smile, "You are miserable."

Chapter 80 Trusted

Teacher of Justice?Zhong Changrong is still a little confused, what do you mean?

"Uncle Zhong." Chu Zhao explained to him, "At that time, I saved Xiao Yu because Xiao Xun told his uncle to kill Xiao Yu. Now Zhongshan King and his son are threatening the court in the name of protecting the capital, and the people are deceived. To tell the world about the ambitions of King Zhongshan, father and son, and son, who do you think is the most suitable and advantageous witness?"

Zhong Changrong's face turned pale instantly.

"Who knows about it?" he said.

Chu Zhaodao: "I told Third Young Master Xie about it."

Xie Yan next to him snorted.

Chu Zhao ignored him, and said to Zhong Changrong: "Although I didn't tell Deng Yi, Mr. Deng should have guessed it."

Zhong Changrong murmured: "That's over, these two guys are not easy to get along with, and they will definitely announce this matter to the public."

"If they do this, I can understand." Chu Zhao said, "Because under the current situation, this is the most sensible choice, and it is also true, no wonder others."

Zhong Changrong sighed, "This matter has nothing to do with you, Miss General."

It's really time to send Chu Lan's family to Bian County, and he will keep an eye on them personally. He will never allow them to come into contact with outsiders again in this life, so they will be isolated from the world.

Chu Zhao shook his head: "Uncle and we are a family, even if we separate ourselves, the world will not separate us."

"Don't worry." Zhong Changrong said again, circling around the sand table, damn it, he can line up troops to kill the enemy, but he doesn't know how to deal with these things, "The elder can be said to be coercion by Xiao Xun, and he was in a hurry to deal with Xiao Xun , and then ask you to rescue your Highness."

This is not enough, it can prove that Xiao Xun murdered the emperor, and the Chu family is still the hero who rescued the emperor.

"Others won't believe it." Chu Zhao said, "Even if they believe it now, it will become all kinds of rumors in the future."

People's words are scary, and people's hearts are also terrible, especially the lady is the queen, and the general is gone. I don't know how many people are waiting to bully the lady. Zhong Changrong looked at the sand table with an annoyed and helpless expression.

Why is Miss so unlucky.

"I'm going back to the capital right now," Chu Zhao said.

Zhong Changrong was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed: "Yes, that's right, I'm confused, miss, you go back immediately, take your soldiers and horses, rescue the capital from danger, and behead Zhongshan Wang and his son."

This great achievement is enough to offset all gossip.

Now that you say go, it's not too late.

Zhong Changrong immediately went to arrange troops.

"Don't bring too many, 100 more people are enough besides Lao Baiding's sledgehammer." Chu Zhao said, "There are enough soldiers and horses in the Jingying camp in the prefectures and counties. I am going back now not to reinforce the soldiers and horses, but to strengthen the morale of my people. "

Zhong Changrong understood, he was worried and reluctant: "Azhao will rely on himself from now on."

Chu Zhao smiled: "Uncle Zhong will have to rely on himself in the future, but my father's coffin is here. If you lose a battle, you can go to his grave and cry secretly."

Zhong Changrong was amused.

Chu Zhao grabbed him again and said in a low voice, "This time Xie Yanlai will also stay here—"

Zhong Changrong frowned: "I don't need him—"

"Uncle Zhong, take him with you, train him, and make him stronger." Chu Zhao stopped him and said sincerely, "He is young and has little combat experience. Uncle Zhong, you teach him, and I will use him in the future." Be more at ease."

Having said that, he sighed lightly.

"I don't have many available."

Zhong Changrong swallowed back the words of objection, yes, he can't be impulsive, the general is gone, the lady is the queen, there is no reliable family in the hall, so he needs to use all available people.

"Miss, don't worry." He said solemnly, clenched his fists vigorously, and looked at Xie Yanlai who stood aside and fiddled with the sand table with his hands, "He is just a piece of scrap iron, and I will train him into a precious sword."

Chu Zhao laughed again: "He is young, Uncle Zhong, don't bully him too much, he has suffered a lot since childhood—"

He hasn't practiced yet, Zhong Changrong felt bad, and didn't want to talk about this topic with the lady again: "I'm going to prepare the troops." After saying that, he walked out.

Only Chu Zhao and Xie Yanlai were left in the room.

Chu Zhao turned around with a smile, and called, "Captain Xie."

Xie Yanlai got up from the sand table and said lazily, "What orders does the Empress have? I will definitely not accept orders."

Chu Zhao laughed, walked up to him, and bowed solemnly: "Thank you for sending me to see my father. I have no regrets in this life. Next, please stay in Bianjun, fight against Xiliang, protect the stability of Daxia, and protect My father's blood."

Xie Yanlai raised her eyebrows: "Don't you have no regrets in this life? What are you planning to do next?"

Chu Zhao laughed again, and raised his eyebrows like him: "For the sake of no regrets in the next life."

Indeed, after she was reborn, her greatest wish was to see her father so that he could go away with peace of mind. In this life, she not only met her father, but also became a queen, met her mother, and was able to lead the army to fight. This wish has been greatly fulfilled.

But Xiao Xun's arrogance is still strong, and the court is still unstable. What she has gained can be lost at any time. In order to prevent regrets in the next life, she has to do a lot of things.

"Ah Jiu, my father is gone. It's fine now, but there will be turmoil in the frontier military affairs." Chu Zhao continued, "Uncle Zhong can't be suppressed by himself, and I have no one else to trust, so I can only entrust you—— —”

She said with a solemn salute.

What she said, Xie Yanlai understands, the frontier army is very attractive, there were countless people fighting for it before, especially in the past few years, the three princes and the crown prince have been fighting, the Zhao family and the Yang family are greedy for power, except for Chu Ling guarding the Luocheng Railway Generally, no one can intervene in the barrel, and the other five generals all have their own attachments, and the army is also mixed with fish and dragons.

Let alone the Zhao family and the Yang family, the Xie family must have made arrangements. He didn't know the details, but for example, he was arranged in the post soldiers, came to the border county in person, and delivered a letter to Chu Ling.

Just after Chu Zhao became the empress and the emperor expressed his intention to entrust Gu, soldiers from Xiliang sneaked into Shangjun to do evil. The imperial court wanted to investigate Chu Ling's fault and proposed to appoint a new commander-in-chief.

It's just that later, because Chu Zhao came to lead the army in person, and succeeded Chu Ling with the prestige of a queen, no one can replace him for the time being.

But Chu Zhao is the queen, she cannot sit in the army forever.

Just like in the imperial city before, when Zhong Changrong left, she handed over the Longwei Army to him.

No matter how many Longwei troops in the previous imperial city, there were only a few hundred people.

Now there are [-] frontier troops——

Xie Yanlai looked at the girl in front of her and said, "Chu Zhao, I'm actually someone else."

Chu Zhao looked at him and smiled: "You, the other person, may be better than other people."

Liang's father and son have already begun to make military achievements, Zhongshan King has begun to raise troops, Deng Yiwen sits on the throne, Xie Yanfang helps the young emperor, and she has seen the behavior of these other people, but she has never seen Xie Yanlai.

"Didn't you also say that?" Chu Zhao raised his eyebrows, "I, Chu Zhao, won't always have bad luck."

Xie Yanlai said: "But I, Xie Yanlai, have always had bad luck." After saying that, he shook his hand and left.

Although the words were not pleasant, he still agreed. Chu Zhao smiled, and then said: "That's okay, even if you have been unlucky, you still have to go down."

The door curtain was lowered to isolate the inside and outside, only Xie Yanlai could be heard outside.

Chu Zhao laughed to himself for a while, and then looked at the sand table. Originally, only the Bianjun side was densely lined up, but now soldiers and horses are also gathered near the capital, which is particularly glaring in the densely packed city.

There were heavy footsteps, and someone lifted the heavy curtain and came in. Seeing Chu Zhao standing in front of the sand table in a daze, she coughed heavily again.

Only then did Chu Zhao raise his head and asked, "Xiaoman, what's the matter?"

Xiaoman turned her head: "Are you going back to the capital? Are you going to fight with King Zhongshan's soldiers and horses? Let's go with you too." Having said this, he snorted again, "Seeing that your soldiers and horses are not very useful .”

The last sentence was added by herself, Chu Zhao smiled and shook her head: "No, you don't have to follow me."

Xiaoman probably didn't expect to be rejected, so she turned her head and looked at her: "Hey, when you get over there and regret it, no one will help you if Ding Dachui blows the whistle."

Chu Zhao smiled and said, "No, you don't have to march with me this time to fight, because there are enough soldiers and horses there, but this time, what you want to help me with is to deliver the news, and—"

She came over, looked at Xiaoman and said in a low voice.

"The victory or defeat of my trip depends on you."

what in them?Send a message?Xiaoman frowned, there is no way to win a battle by passing on news, the bandits all know that occupying the top of the mountain is made of real swords and guns.

Chu Zhao had already whispered into her ear, and patted her arm after speaking: "Go and talk to her."

Xiaoman dodged her hand, snorted, turned around and strode away.

After walking for a while, Xiaoman came back to her senses, what do you mean tell her?

"Xiaoman." A voice called from ahead.

Xiaoman looked up and saw Mu Mianhong waving behind the tent not far away, and she hurried over.

"What did she say?" Mu Mianhong asked.

Hearing this sentence, Xiaoman was angry and funny. Chu Zhao said to tell her, but his aunt asked her what to say. Both of them were in the army, but neither of them saw each other. Chu Zhao also knew what she said who said it all—

"She will die if she talks directly to you." Xiaoman couldn't help complaining.

Mu Mianhong patted her arm and said with a smile: "It's not convenient, don't bother her at this time."

Xiaoman sighed, looking at the expectation in Mu Mianhong's eyes, he couldn't bear it.

"She said we don't need to go," she said.

The light in Mu Mianhong's eyes dimmed for an instant.

Xiao Man hurriedly said: "However, Auntie, she said that her victory or defeat depends entirely on us."

The light in Mu Mian's red eyes lit up again, she took Xiao Man's hand and said, "Well, tell me what is her plan?"

Xiaoman snorted, and obediently was led by Mu Mianhong to the tent.

……

……

The trip was quick, and he decided to leave during the daytime. When dusk fell, Chu Zhao had already rode out of the Chinese army camp, with soldiers and horses led by Lao Bai in front, Ding Dahui in the back, and Ale and Xiaoman on the left and right.

Although he didn't let Mu Mianhong's people follow, Xiaoman insisted on following, and Chu Zhao didn't refuse again.

The soldiers and horses on the road all saluted her when they saw her, and they were not surprised. Empress Chu often did this.

The news of King Zhongshan's siege of the capital was not announced.

Chu Zhao looked back and saw Uncle Zhong's figure. In order not to arouse speculation, he failed to send him out of the camp.

As for Xie Yanlai, I don't know where he went.

Chu Zhao withdrew his gaze, whipped and urged the horse, but did not notice the young general staring independently on the high hill to the left of the camp.

Chapter 81 Inescapable

When Liang Qiang got the news in the wounded barracks, she rushed over without even seeing Chu Zhao's back.

He stood in a daze outside the barracks.

"Liang Junhou." The passing soldiers greeted him.

As the only survivor of the Left Pioneer Battalion, Liang Qiang refused to surrender at a critical moment and almost had her left arm cut off. It has spread throughout the military camp. The army admires warriors the most. Now almost everyone knows Liang Qiang.

"Liang Junhou, what's the matter with you?" Another soldier asked, "Do you need my help?"

Liang Qiang regained her senses and shook her head, smiling at the general, "I'm just tired of recuperating, and I always want to go back to the army."

The soldiers looked at him with even more admiration.

"Marquis Jun, take good care of your wounds and come back when you are well." "Don't worry, as soon as you show up, Xiliang soldiers will run away."

Everyone laughed and relieved.

Liang Qiang smiled with them for a moment, said goodbye, turned around and the smile disappeared, and rode to the wounded barracks.

"Liang Junhou." The guard called out, "Your father has come to see you."

Father!A smile appeared on Liang Qiang's gloomy face, and she quickened her pace and rushed inward. Her father hadn't been here since the accident. After all, the Vanguard Battalion was completely annihilated this time.

Liang Ji was sitting in the tent, looking at the sand table, he raised his head when he heard the movement, and saw his son running in, he stood up quickly, his eyes fell on Liang Qiang's arm first.

"Father, I'm fine." Liang Qiang smiled.
