Chapter 123 Keding Jue Family

As the sun went down and the drums sounded loudly at dusk, after a whole day, the soldiers and horses of the Gyeonggi reorganization gathered near the Jinming Pond and were ready to go.

In the room, a set of heavy armor consisting of pockets, armor, shawls, and hanging legs was neatly worn on the body. The king of Chu touched the cold animal head in front of his belly and felt that the armor on his body was slightly heavy. Putting it on...unexpectedly heavy, but not light."

"Everything is packed, is there anything else you want to bring?"

The King of Chu shook his head, "This time we are going on an expedition." He looked at a small bronze mirror in front of the mirror stand, stepped forward and picked it up, "I'll take it with me."

"A mirror...does the prince still need it in the army?"

The King of Chu immediately shook his head, "Because my sister puts her makeup on this bronze mirror every day, it reflects all my sister's emotions."

Slowly and suddenly, Xiao Youqing's eyes turned red, and she stepped forward to wrap her arms around her, trembling through the cold armor, "Return safely."

——Boom! ——Before King Chu could answer, there was another knock on the door.

"what's up?"

"Report to Alang, ask for advice on political affairs."

The King of Chu gently lifted Xiao Youqing from her arms, "You know political affairs?"

A cup of tea was served in the middle hall of the Prince Chu's mansion. The purple robe was not sitting down, but he was leaning on the armrest of the grand master's chair with one hand behind his back and bowed his head in deep thought.

The cloud-toed boots stepped into the middle hall, Zipao turned around and stepped forward when he heard the sound of armor colliding, "I have seen the six kings."

The King of Chu coldly glanced at the person who came forward, and then turned his back on the sword, "Why did Liang Shenzheng come to see the King at this time?"

Liang Wenfu was not in a hurry to answer, but straightened up and looked at the king of Chu who was wearing the vermilion lacquer armor, holding his sleeves and said calmly: "The six kings I have seen all the time are all scholars, I didn't expect this armor to be worn on The Six Kings are also very suitable for themselves, it can be said that they are heroic and heroic, as if fighting fiercely."

The King of Chu turned his head and looked at Liang Wenfu from top to bottom, and immediately smiled, "I don't know if this purple robe still fits? I don't know if Shen Zhishi can afford the weight of this gold belt?"

Liang Wenfu immediately pulled out his hand and touched the spherical pattern engraved on the waist belt, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty's grace, the emperor's will, you have to bear it if you can't afford it, right?"

Liang Wenfu saw that there was no one around, so he stopped the smile on his face and walked closer, lowering his head and whispering: "The official came this time to remind the six kings that Shen Yi'an is the commander of this expedition, and the six kings need to be more careful. Your Majesty is left with only two gentlemen, and the East Palace is desperate for disaster." Then Liang Wenfu retreated again, "Your Majesty knows that with the intelligence of the Six Kings, he must have guessed it, but I still want to remind the Six Kings that they have the intention of risking their lives for their lives. Heart, the abolished prince has a maternal grandfather who did not hesitate to annihilate his family, and the current prince also has an uncle who carried Yulong to die as the king, but I don’t know, what do you have, the Six Great Kings?"

Hearing Liang Wenfu's cold words, the King of Chu narrowed his eyes slightly, "Why do you participate in politics?"

Liang Wenfu lowered his head, folded his sleeves and bowed. "Naturally, I want to be an official," said with a slight smile, "It's just that death won't be so embarrassing from now on."

The King of Chu rubbed his hand resting on his sword and grinned, then turned his back to Liang Wenfu and walked towards the courtyard, "Then, thank you Liang for your kindness in reminding me."

"Thanks from the six great kings, the lower officials dare not accept." After saying that, Liang Wenfu straightened up and followed the king of Chu out. When he reached the stone lion in front of the palace gate, the king of Chu stared at the black horse in the hands of the soldiers.

Liang Wenfu smiled softly and said, "Oh, I forgot to tell the lord that besides Zhu Qishan Wenjia, your majesty also gave you a royal horse. Although this horse is usually docile, it is not vain in war. War horse."

The King of Chu looked back at Liang Wenfu behind him, and raised his eyebrows lightly, "Your Majesty sent you here?"

Liang Wenfu nodded lightly, "The army is already waiting in front of the Wansheng Gate, just waiting for the prince to set off. The battle is imminent, and the officials are too weak, so I will send the six kings here to defeat the thieves in one fell swoop and return in triumph."

The King of Chu gripped the reins tightly, stepped on the horse's back, pulled the reins horizontally, and looked at Liang Wenfu coldly, "Then, use Liang to participate in politics as an auspicious word."

A dozen guards who followed him also put on their armor and stepped on the horse together.

Just when the king of Chu was about to raise the whip to set off, her hands froze for a while, then she put it down lightly, pulled the rein and pulled the horse's neck to adjust the direction and walked straight towards Liang Wenfu.

Liang Wenfu stood quietly and suddenly saw Chu Chao approaching, so he looked back, stared slightly, and subconsciously stepped aside.

Standing behind Liang Wenfu was Princess Chu who had just walked down the steps. The King of Chu rode his horse and approached her, bent down and stretched out his hand, "Sister, send me the last ride, Wanshengmen."

Xiao Youqing gently raised her freshly drawn eyebrows, then gently raised her hand to put them on, the moment her fingertips lightly touched her palm, she was held tightly by a strong hand and pulled her onto the horse.

"Drive!" Facing the setting sun, the imperial horse raised its forelegs, let out a long cry and disappeared in Zhaoqingfang.

Xiao Youqing sat sideways in front of her, and the setting sun hit the clear-cut face of King Chu. Zhaoqingfang was located in the northeast of the old city, and Wanshengmen was the west gate of the new city. The distance was more than ten miles, enough for a horse to run for a while.

Zhu Qishan Wenjia is in harmony with the sunset, the sound of horseshoes flying, the windows facing the street are attracted by this sound, and people on both sides of the street can only see the general passing by, and the leader seems to be holding a woman?

"Aren't you afraid that they will see it?"

"Then let them see enough, you are my wife, what dare they say? Anyway, I am used to self-willedness, and the world knows it, let me be self-willed one last time before going out." After finishing speaking, the King of Chu raised his horsewhip.

"drive!"

People in the teahouses, restaurants, mansions, and the streets on both sides began to discuss. They were covered in armor, making it impossible to tell who they were, so they guessed their identities based on the royal horse and golden saddle they were sitting on.

Jin Mingchi suddenly assembled tens of thousands of imperial troops in a day, and it is conceivable that another war is about to be fought. A soft wind blows over the second floor of a teahouse. There is also a prince accompanying him this time."

"Prince? Zhao Wang has become a prince. Isn't that the only prince left? Who is the woman on the horse?"

The tea guest held the tea bowl, "Need to say, it is naturally the Princess Chu of the King of Chu." The tea guest put down the tea cup and stroked his white beard and said with emotion: "I still remember that the king of Qi led the army for the first time decades ago. There is also a beautiful woman sitting in her arms, but that beautiful woman failed to become Princess Qi, what a pity, what a pity."

"It's not persecution, so there's no pity."

"The beauty is unlucky, and I don't know the fate of our Princess Chu."

"The situation is surging, and it must be a bumpy one."

----------

In front of Wanshengmen, the wind from Jinming Lake blows across the Bianhe River in the north, ripples appear on the calm river surface, peach blossoms bloom on both sides, weeping willows move with the wind and reflect on the water surface, green and pink are alternated on the emerald green.

The three armies lined up neatly. On the other side of the Bian River, there were old and young women and children looking up and down. In the standing formation were their husbands, fathers, and sons. Remember my words."

"Swords have no eyes on the battlefield, you have to be... extremely careful."

The King of Chu gently caressed Xiao Youqing's face and replied, "Okay."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here!" The servant's voice in the East Palace came from the Wansheng Gate.

The guards following behind the guard of honor immediately stepped forward to separate the people on both sides of the city gate. King Chu subconsciously pulled Xiao Youqing backwards, and took a step forward to block her behind.

Seeing King Chu's actions, the Crown Prince lowered his head and smiled, "Don't be alarmed, King Chu. Your Majesty is not feeling well, so I asked my palace to send all the soldiers to the battle on his behalf."

The King of Chu slightly raised his brows and clasped his fists, "His Royal Highness, for the sake of salutation, it is inconvenient for me to wear armor."

"Hey, the King of Chu is about to go out with the army, and His Majesty will replace him. How dare I accept your gift? I heard that the Dangxiang people are more ferocious than the Khitan people. The King of Chu must be careful when he goes out, but what? , The land and mountains I faced were fought from horseback, and the king of Chu must not disgrace me, Wei Jiaerlang."

"His Royal Highness reminds me that I will definitely not lose face to the Wei family."

Wei Kai looked at the King of Chu and the Princess of Chu behind him, turned his head and smiled lightly, then lowered his eyes, and immediately walked forward.

The crown prince walked up to the commander-in-chief of the three armies, "Uncle."

"Your Highness."

"Uncle is going this time, he is only allowed to win, not to lose."

"Sir, obey the order."

Wei Kai went to the front of the army again and said loudly: "I don't have clothes, I wear the same robe with you. Wang Yuxing division, repair my spear, and share the same hatred with you! All the soldiers will defeat the enemy in one fell swoop. This palace is here. A banquet is waiting for you, and you will return in triumph."

"Your Highness, Qianqiu." The voices of tens of thousands of people shook the mountains and rivers, "Is it said that I have no clothes, and I share the same robes with my son. Wang Yuxing master, repair my spear, and share the same hatred with my son!"

"Let's go!"

On the west corner of the palace, the emperor stood facing the setting sun wearing a white robe, and a cloud of dust rolled up in the northwest of the imperial city, shaking the mountains and shaking the ground.

[In March in Yangchun, the Bian River passes through the south of Wansheng Gate. The peach blossoms on both sides of the river are in full bloom, the grass covers the hooves of the horses, and the copper bells sway and make a crisp sound. After a neighing, the imperial horse stops on the river bank.

Immediately came down a pair of young men in their prime, a general, a beauty in armor and a red dress.

"I will wait for Saburo to come back, I will definitely."

The young general stretched out his hand and hugged the woman in red into his arms, "When I come back, I will ask my father to marry me. You are the only eldest lady in my Qi Palace."

"Okay." A gentle good word echoed in his mind, which he never forgot for half his life. 】

A gust of gentle wind blows down the peach blossoms that bloom in the peach orchard, and two or two pink petals float and dance over the city pool with the wind. Accompanied by the sunset light, it wets the eyes of the white robes on the tower.

The emperor stretched out his wrinkled hand to take a petal of peach blossom, blinking his rosy eyes and said shyly, "I don't know where the human face is going, but the peach blossom still smiles at the spring breeze."

With a long sigh, the mourning emperor said in a muffled voice: "Brother." His outstretched left hand slowly lowered to rest on the fence of the tower.

There was only an old eunuch behind him, Zhao Ci bowed and took a step forward, "Hey."

"I do, don't I?"

Zhao Ci looked at the dust flying in the northwest corner of the city, "There must be a reason for the officials to do this. The family affairs of the officials are the state's affairs, and villains dare not make unreasonable remarks."

"Xing, people are suffering, death, people are suffering, I don't know, no one in the world is suffering, is it me?" The emperor looked at his old and wrinkled hands, "But besides power, what else do I have?" The emperor turned to look Looking at the towering bell and drum towers in Da Nei, looking at the dazzling array of palaces and temples, he smiled wryly and said, "Is this a cage that you can't get out of once you get in?"

"Your Majesty, Shenzhi Zhengshi is back." An servant Huang Men approached and said softly.

The emperor slowly turned his head to look at the young purple robe approaching in the distance, Zhao Ci backed away, and Liang Wenfu stepped forward, "I wish your majesty great blessings."

"How is he?" The emperor walked up the tower with his hands behind his back.

Liang Wenfu followed carefully, and replied: "I am very grateful for the reward from the official family."

The long city tower couldn't see the end at a glance, the emperor stopped suddenly, "I'll give you another errand, let's go to the East Palace."

"Yes."

Half a quarter of an hour later, Liang Wenfu walked down from the tower and headed straight for the Zhengshitang. The emperor called Zhao Ci back, "Get ready to ride, I'm tired."

"Does Your Majesty want to go out to get some air?"

"I heard that there are lotus and lotus in the wild goose pond, and wild goose and rabbits live there. I haven't been there for so many years. I don't know if it's true or not?"

Hearing Yanchi Zhao Ci, he understood what the emperor said, "Your Majesty, do you want to go to Genyue to enjoy it? There are ten thousand acres of peach orchards in Genyue. Now Linyang spring is the best time for peach blossoms, but now..." Zhao Ci gently raised his head.

"I know that the country is still in war, so let them scold you if you scold me. I am old, so I should be tough on us." The emperor turned his head and smiled slightly, "His Royal Highness the new crown prince."

After the king of Chu rode away with the army, Xiao Youqing boarded the tower of Wansheng Gate, and looked at the crowd who couldn't tell who was who. tip.

The jade belt in the scarlet robe that came up slowly from the steps stood at the corner of the stairs, and there was a lonely woman facing the wind in her staring eyes.
