At the end of breaking "straight" you will need to be cautious

In mid-winter, heavy snow fell in the sky, and with Jin Ming, the five-year-long battle of Chengzhu came to an official end with General Chu Zicheng of Xiping Xiaorao breaking through Fengyang Pass and occupying the five cities.

Near Fengdu (the main city of Xiping), Chu Zicheng, who was on a tall horse, raised his right hand, indicating to rest for a while, and then dragged Kan Ben (deputy general) Jiang Jian into the dense grove, leaving a group of Chu family troops Looking at each other in dismay, it was Lin Lu, the military adviser, who relieved the embarrassment with a low cough.

Before getting off the horse, Jiang Jian, who had not had time to tie the rope, was slipped by Chu Zicheng, and before he could react, he lost his head in the white grove.

"General, what are you doing?" Jiang Jian breathed out, his eyebrows turned white.

Chu Zicheng wiped it for him. Seeing that he was nervous and covered his body with his hands, Chu Zicheng punched him, "Don't worry, I'm not so hungry."

Jiang Jian felt pain and rubbed his shoulders. Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he heard Chu Zicheng ask, "Jiang Jian, you and I have been marching and fighting for so many years, how do I treat you?"

Jiang Jian watched him fiddle with the big knife around his waist, without hesitation, "The general treats the last general like a brother, if it is not for the general..."

Chu Zicheng heard this too much.She waved her hand to stop Jiang Jian from continuing, and instead began to talk about family matters, "I don't know if you still remember that the city of Jicheng was broken a year ago..."

As soon as Jiang Jian heard it, he immediately replied: "The general has something to say!"

How could he not remember about Jicheng!

At that time, the auspicious palace was broken, and the army was in chaos. When Jiang Jian and Chu Zicheng arrived at the lord's mansion, the city lord had already left, leaving only a concubine who was used to play with on weekdays. He was so scared that he was going to die, so he took off his clothes and seduced him on the bed, wanting the two to spare his life, Chu Zicheng had no other intentions, but Jiang Jian's eyes were straightened when he saw the white body, and nosebleeds flowed out instantly.

Since then, Jiang Jian's face has turned numb every time he heard the word Jicheng, which can be said to be one of his few shames.

"It's not a big deal, just take it easy."

Chu Zicheng patted Jiang Jian's shoulder in relief, but what he said was like a sharp knife piercing Jiang Jian's heart: "I made a verbal agreement with Your Majesty when I was not in the battle. If I can win this battle within ten years, I will Allow me to rest for three days."

"The general wants to..." Jiang Jian had an ominous premonition.

Chu Zicheng nodded, "I want to do a big event before entering the palace, and I need you to cover it up for me when I change sedan chairs."

This matter is also a decision Chu Zicheng hesitated for a long time. She is famous at this time, and her position in the army is unique. If she goes back this time, Xiping Emperor Du Renjian will definitely reward her. The little one said gold, jade and silk Duan, the big one said that the descendants of the nobles would have no worries about food and clothing. It stands to reason that Chu Zicheng's meritorious deeds combined, plus this victory, deserved a title, but she has a habit of breaking her sleeves. She was spurned by all the officials, so if she goes to court this time, there will inevitably be a fierce battle before the hall. To be honest...Chu Zicheng is used to beheading people...

In order to avoid this from happening, Chu Zicheng independently chose to help Du Renjian solve the problem.

To put it simply, make up for your mistakes.

"General, you are embarrassing the last general...

Could it be that the end general has offended the general recently? "Jiang Jian looked disheartened.

"Your Majesty is a wise king, and he will not kill innocent people indiscriminately." Chu Zicheng played with the sword again, "Brothers who have been around for so many years, just say whether you will help or not!"

***

Whether it's good or bad, Jiang Jian can be regarded as agreeing.

After leaving the grove, the Chu family's army sighed inwardly when they saw General Kan Ben lost his mind while General Xiao Rao was in high spirits, and some of them even dared not look at Chu Zicheng.

Chu Zicheng didn't mind their misunderstanding, so he climbed onto the horse and waved his hand, "Let's go!"

Xu Shi couldn't smell the smell of blood, and the horse was also leisurely, walking unhurriedly.

It was Shen's time when we arrived in Fengdu, and it was already dark. Chu Zicheng saw the bright sedan chair from a long distance away, and he had a headache for a while. This was also the second reason why she didn't want to enter the palace now.

Chu Zicheng is a low-key person, he doesn't want to make a big splash, let alone sit in a sedan chair, but on the streets of Fengdu, except for major events such as National Day, marriage, hunting, and sacrifices, he is not allowed to ride a horse on weekdays, because one year the horse was in heat and stepped on it continuously. More than [-] common people died, and they probably had enough of stepping on it. They kicked a royal family member to death. From then on, no matter whether it was a hundred officials or royal relatives, even Du Renjian himself had to do it on the streets of Fengdu. Take a sedan chair.

Chu Zicheng got off his horse, exchanged a few words with the officials who came to receive him, got on the sedan chair, took off his armor, and escaped successfully under the cover of Jiang Jian. After arriving in Fengdu, Chu Zicheng came out from behind the stone pile. She was already dressed in brocade clothes, and she looked extremely luxurious. She didn't look like a great general killing on the battlefield.

She leaned against the stone and stayed for a while, counting the time, and entered the city several hundred meters away from Chu's army.Compared with the white depression outside the city, the city is obviously much more lively.Chu Zicheng came in in time, and unfortunately heard some people whispering, so he went in one ear and out the other.

Walking slowly all the way, finally, Chu Zicheng's footsteps stopped in front of Baimei Pavilion.

Perhaps it was under renovation recently, and there were no firework women blatantly standing outside the Baimei Pavilion to invite customers. Chu Zicheng looked down at the colorful colors on his body, and he didn't know what impression he would make on Shengyi.

Chu Zicheng let out a breath of cold air and stepped in.

Five years ago, it was rumored in the market that the General Xiaorao favored the young lady Shengyi many times at Baimei Pavilion, but this Shengyi looked better than a beautiful woman, and since then she has been said to have a habit of breaking sleeves.

Innocent and at ease, it is impossible for Chu Zicheng to have any relationship with Shengyi, just because she is a woman.

This is also the third reason why she doesn't want to enter the palace. If she is really knighted by accident, the higher the position, the more serious the crime.In the days of peace and prosperity in the future, the worst thing is to marry a man and go home to be his wife. At that time, he will be impeached, and his position as a general will be lost.

When Chu Zicheng entered, Sheng Yi was playing the piano, and the song "Wu Ye Cry" sounded a little sad.

As soon as Chu Zicheng found a good position, he heard the sound of the piano. She looked up, and Sheng Yi's eyes passed through the crowd and touched her. Chu Zicheng couldn't help being immersed in it, and when he came back to his senses, Sheng Yi had already gone up to the second floor.

Chu Zicheng hurriedly got up and followed him. Before he could enter, he was stopped by a handsome woman in a long gown with light makeup on his face.

"The rules of Baimei Pavilion, there is no agreement, no money, no meeting at the entrance."

When she said this, there was some irritability in her tone.

Chu Zicheng took a step back and asked, "Your Excellency?"

In her memory, she had never seen such a weirdly dressed person.

I only heard her say: "The new madam."

The last two words can be described as gnashing of teeth.

Chu Zicheng was taken aback, no wonder he didn't see Aqiao, it seemed that there was no one standing outside the Baimei Pavilion, and half of the credit was due to the person in front of him. After thinking about it, it would be good if Aqiao was not there, so she could go back without the smell of rouge on her body. After that, I couldn't explain to my eldest sister.

Chu Zicheng touched his waist before realizing that he got off the sedan chair without any money on him.

Zhong Qi saw that after Chu Zicheng touched his waist, there was an embarrassing expression on his face, so he knew that he must not have any silver taels on him, and besides, this man was dressed in a playboy, but he had an upright face, he must have some great status, Zhong Qi didn't care What is Sanqi 21, he immediately punched and attacked, trying to arouse the opponent's anger, and demolished the Baimei Pavilion in one fell swoop.

Fighting all the year round, Chu Zicheng's intuition was astonishing, and he had already dodged before Zhong Qi punched. After a few moves, Chu Zicheng was thinking about how to explain it, so he heard Shengyi from the door whisper: "Miss Zhong, let him go!" Come in, this is my benefactor."

"Okay." Zhong Qi responded.

Chu Zicheng saw that she was quick to strike, and quick to withdraw, without delay. Apart from himself, Chu Zicheng rarely saw such a woman in China, so he was not angry, but a little admired.

Sensing the admiration in Chu Zicheng's eyes, Zhong Qi cupped his fists, twisted his body awkwardly and left.

But I couldn't help cursing in my heart, such a good opportunity, it's a pity to lose it, the other side doesn't look gentle, why don't you get angry...

Seeing her stiffly writhing away, Chu Zicheng blinked slightly, opened the door and walked in.

Shengyi in the door had already changed into a set of light gauze, sitting behind the lyre, the fire was moving, and his figure was faintly reflected, Chu Zicheng couldn't help frowning, but didn't say much, just said: "Play the first piece Bar."

In her mind, although Shengyi is weak, he is extremely persevering and stubborn. What happened during the five years since she left?Will he... still be as perfect as before?

Inside Xiping Palace:

The ministers in the hall jumped their eyebrows looking at the armor piled on the ground. Jiang Jian was kneeling at the feet of the emperor, his head covered in cold sweat. At this moment, it seemed that as long as someone said a word, there would be a sonorous word war in the hall.

This kind of low air pressure makes Jiang Jian, who has been fighting all the time, extremely uncomfortable. If he knew this, he shouldn't have agreed to Chu Zicheng at the beginning. Jiang Jian would rather be hacked to death by him...

In fact, Du Renjian's complexion is very bad now, he knows that as long as he is a little angry, the group of wolves, tigers and leopards below will definitely tear the "good" brother who grew up with him to pieces.

Du Renjian looked at the stacked armor on the ground, and didn't understand why that man always didn't follow the path he arranged. This time, as long as he comes back to meet him as soon as possible, although there will be some twists and turns, he will definitely be able to Grant him a title.

But he didn't. Did he not trust himself, afraid that he would suspect that he had ill intentions for the throne in the future, or did he feel that he couldn't handle this group of pedantic ministers?

"His Majesty…"

As soon as Jiang Jian heard what the Minister of Rites had said, he thought he might be about to question him, so he hurriedly spoke preemptively, "Your Majesty, I don't know if Your Majesty remembers that before the general left, His Majesty made a verbal agreement with him."

The Minister of the Ministry of Rites received the wink from the Minister of the Ministry of Hubu, and swallowed his words again, and the hall became quiet again.

Only then did Du Renjian turn his eyes to everyone, and after a long time, he said in a deep voice: "I remember. Five years ago, I said that as long as General Xiaorao can settle the war within ten years, he will be allowed to rest for three days .”

Du Renjian raised his eyebrows slightly, and the old eunuch on the side listened to him, and then passed the words to Han Chang who had been waiting for a long time. After hearing this, Han Chang opened the scroll and read out a series of rewards, except that General Xiao Rao was not mentioned Chu Zicheng.

After the award was over, the Minister of Rites just moved his lips when he heard Du Renjian say: "If there is nothing wrong, all of you should step down."

The Minister of Rites could only respectfully salute along with the team—it seemed that the matter of punishing General Xiaorao had failed again today.
