I'm not a scumbag

Regardless of whether the baby in Wang Cong's arms was a little princess or not, the soldiers of the Yan Kingdom were very afraid.

"withdraw troops."

Zhong Qingmei waved her hand. Although she looked unwilling, she had to worry about something.

Yang Mian looked at the frail figure on the high platform, complex emotions flashed through his eyes, and the guard beside him worriedly said, "General..."

Qin Zuo sighed secretly in his heart, but he didn't take any position to speak out.

After Ming Jin withdrew his troops, Zhong Qingmei called everyone to hold a meeting.

Qin Zuo and the Queen Mother of Chu were heavily protected and did not participate in the meeting.

It's more of a surveillance than a protection.

Qin Zuo looked at his cheap wife and said guiltily, "Mother, the child is unfilial."

It's all my fault for not being fully prepared and acting recklessly, but it's too late to say this now. I have to think carefully about the next step!

Queen Mother Chu looked at her cub with a loving face and waved her hand nonchalantly.

"Death is enough to see my son grow up safely."

For the Queen Mother of Chu, she was just a marriage tool promoted by the Lin family. It was an unexpected blessing to have a good relationship with the late emperor.

I have always focused on family interests, but since I had my own child, my focus has shifted.

The late emperor was able to dote on her in every possible way because she stayed true to her duties, knew her place, and never thought about things she shouldn't think about.

Everyone in the world said that the late emperor doted on the dandy, but they didn't know that the late emperor had no intention of passing the throne to him, just because he loved the house and the bird.

The Queen Mother Chu just wanted her children to be safe, healthy, and live a happy life.

Only by performing mediocrely can we put an end to the family's ambitions and the emperor's suspicion.

Adhering to this policy of raising her children, the Queen Mother Chu has always lived a very clear and contented life.

But there were some people with ulterior motives around Zuo Xiaochen who took advantage of some loopholes and gradually led him astray. By the time the Queen Mother Chu came to her senses, the child was already dead.

What to do if it becomes useless?

They can only try to save it, but one is in the harem, the other is wandering in the market, and there are uneasy and well-intentioned people around to provoke them, and the relationship between mother and son has become tense.

He has been working hard to repair the relationship between mother and son, until Zuo Xiaochen got annoyed and volunteered to go to Yan State as an envoy.

He knew that the journey would be bumpy and full of dangers, but he still moved forward, hurting the heart of the Queen Mother Chu.

Finally, I'm back now.

Empress Dowager Chu, who had withdrawn her thoughts, looked at Qin Zuo's face, her heart filled with sighs.

If Huang Er really wanted that position, she would fight for him even if it cost her life.

She didn't care whether her royal son was the emperor's material or not. It was very selfish to think so, but she had already indulged in her pampering.

Qin Zuo didn't know what to say, and secretly decided in his heart that he would take his place and fulfill his filial piety for the Queen Mother of Chu!

We can't stay here any longer. Zhong Qingmei is untrustworthy!

The Lin family cannot return. If the Queen Mother is delivered into their hands, she will be coerced by them in the future.

There are only a few trustworthy people in this huge military camp, and the Queen Mother of Chu must not be taken lightly.

After thinking about it, only Yadan who followed him was barely credible.

But a maid doesn't have any extraordinary abilities. She has nothing to offer her except loyalty.

With Zuo Xiaoyi joining the front line, I'm afraid it won't be over for a while. The queen at the rear is clearing out the traitors very smoothly, but there is no guarantee that Zuo Xiaoyi will have a backup plan. Instead of worrying, it's better to go back with the cheap lady.

By the way, I will leave my mother to Fan Tian to take care of me.

After making up his mind, Qin Zuo was about to run away. After not seeing Zhong Qingmei for a long time, Qin Zuo asked Yang Mian to resign.

Yang Mian's worried look attracted Qin Zuo's attention, but the top priority was to transfer the cheap lady, so he had to bury his doubts in his heart and prepare to ask when he came back.

I never thought that this farewell would be an eternal farewell.

After the meeting, Zhong Qingmei received the news of the forward army's raid, and her nose was almost crooked with anger.

Before he could send troops to support him, he received the bad news that Yang Mian had been captured alive by the enemy.

"What's going on with Yang Mian?! How can he be so stupid!" Zhong Qingmei's first counselor yelled.

Instead, Zhong Qingmei calmed down her anger. There must be a demon when things go wrong. Yang Mian and her were both teachers and friends. Zhong Qingmei was very familiar with her. She thought of a possibility and immediately summoned Yang Mian's personal guards.

Just a moment later, a Qianhu from the vanguard came.

Zhong Qingmei frowned, but before she could ask, Qianhu took out a letter from her arms and handed it over with red eyes.

"General Zhong, this is what General Yang left. General Yang ordered his subordinates to bring this letter to you if they hear any bad news."

Qianhu stood aside in grief, waiting for Zhong Qingmei to speak.

Zhong Qingmei quickly read the contents of the letter and sighed.

The handwriting was scrawled, and it seemed that the decision was made on the spur of the moment.

The letter told her that Yang Mian was determined to die and entrusted the forward army to her, and advised her not to quarrel with the Chu imperial army anymore, but rather to withdraw her troops and return to the rear to stabilize the situation in the Yan country.

Qin Zuo's resignation was even brushed aside.

Yang Mian led dozens of soldiers and attacked the west gate. He didn't know his purpose, but he knew his death intention.

Being captured alive meant that he could still negotiate with the other party. Zhong Qingmei was willing to save Yang Mian without touching the bottom line.

She didn't care whether Yang Mian was determined to die. If she really wanted to take over the vanguard, she would have to help save Yang Mian.

Zhong Qingmei knew that Yang Mian wanted to die, but the soldiers under Yang Mian didn't know. Whether he could be rescued was one thing, and whether he could be rescued was another.

At the very least, you have to do something about it.

She didn't want Yang Mian to die in such an unclear way, she still had feelings for her.

It's a teacher's kindness, and it's a friendship.

As for Yang Mian's proposal to retreat, Zhong Qingmei didn't take it seriously. She was bound to win this battle, so she wouldn't be willing to retreat!

It's clear that the inner city's attack is just around the corner!

It's just that the presence of the little princess currently affects the morale of the military, which makes her a little embarrassed.

Glancing at Qianhu, who had a lowered eyebrow, Zhong Qingmei motioned for her to go down first and discuss something with the counselor beside her.

......

In the Chu State cell, Yang Mian was beaten to the point of dying, and the guards around her suffered numerous casualties. There were only one or two loyal guards guarding her.

She is gambling.

Bet on whether he will come.

Bet with your life, no matter you win or lose, this miserable life should go with the Queen.

The door creaked, attracting the attention of everyone in the cell. It was vigilance, but more of a warning.

Yang Mian raised his head with difficulty and looked at the person.

The thin figure stood in front of the door, and the jailer beside him smiled obsequiously.

"Go back."

The jailer accepted the order, and when he retreated, he took away Yang Mian's personal guards.

The deep voice stimulated every cell in Yang Mian's body, screaming for hatred.

The jailer retreated, and the visitor gently opened the door and walked in. He looked down at the old man who looked like a dead dog with mixed feelings in his heart.

"Mian'er."

This soft call made Yang Mian regain his consciousness, and he used the last bit of strength in his body to attack the person who came.

Wang Cong never thought that it would be like this when he saw Yang Mian again.

The shock was still reflected on his face, but the vitality slowly disappeared.

Yang Mian fell to the ground one step ahead of him, with a hint of pleasure in getting revenge on his lips.

Wang Cong touched his left chest, sighed softly, and died.
