Chapter 825: Infiltrating the Royal Capital
Chu He was originally supervising the drills of the Flying Legion, and these soldiers who originally had considerable strength improved very quickly after Chu He's new training method, and I believe that it won't be long before they can not only recover to their peak, but also improve one step further.
But the Shadow Guard came, saying that it was summoned by the Empress.
I'm about to enter the city, and I'm afraid there is something important to summon me at this time!
Chu He, under the leadership of Shadow Wei, walked into the middle tent and found that there was an extreme depression and calmness here, dozens of majestic and murderous generals stood there straight, and the empress propped her hands on the table, but she had a pair of cold eyes, exuding a thick chill, so that these generals did not even dare to come out of the atmosphere.
Qingfeng stood beside the empress, and Han Qiu and Xueying also stood in the queue of generals, only Chu He, who could not be affected by these breaths, passed through these generals in the procession, walked forward to the empress, bowed and asked, "Is there something wrong with Your Majesty's summons?"
The empress breathed a sigh of relief, handed a letter on the table to Chu He, and said, "This is what this king just received, these people are really daring. ”
Chu He glanced at it, and the letter seemed to say that the general of the royal capital, Hong Ying, was under house arrest, and Chu He didn't know much about the royal capital, so even if he read the letter, he didn't understand it too much.
Fortunately, Qingfeng on the side explained: "Hongying is one of the female generals trusted by His Majesty, and was placed in the royal capital, responsible for the safety of the royal capital, this Huo Sikong is the deputy leader of the palace guards, and he is one of the most trusted generals of my father and emperor back then, but I didn't expect that he would betray my sister, and now he has secretly placed Hongying under house arrest, seized the soldiers and horses of the royal city, and wants to borrow the momentum of the royal city to prevent His Majesty from returning." ”
Only then did Chu He understand and said: "The matter has happened, then don't think too much, just deal with the matter, but the first thing to do is to rescue the red cherry blossoms and control the army of the royal capital, I believe that these soldiers do not know that their generals are under house arrest." ”
Qingfeng was a little embarrassed, and said: "If the return to the city is blocked tomorrow, the authority of Your Majesty's royal power will be threatened, there are many anti-empress forces in Great Xia, so no matter what, we must also solve this matter before the empress returns to the capital, and keep the majesty of the royal power, this matter, we need Chu He's help." ”
These words are not suitable for the empress to speak, only Qingfeng can say them.
Chu He nodded and said, "Of course, I can help with this, these people are indeed not enough to be hated by civilians if they don't kill." ”
"Wait until you return to the camp, put your troops and horses in order, and if anyone dares to stand in the way of my king, he will be killed. ”
The empress was soothed by Chu He's anger, and it was a string of outwards, with a strong sense of hatred, but she can't be blamed, what happened in the royal capital recently did make people very angry, Chu He felt that this was not just a betrayal of a deputy commander, I believe that behind it, there are many people who cooperate, even if they are not involved, they are all waiting to see the empress's jokes, from the heart, there is no respect for the empress, these people really deserve to die, blasphemous the empress's holiness.
When night fell, Chu He and Qingfeng, two of them rode together, taking advantage of the night, towards the royal capital, this time the action to save the red cherry blossoms was completed by the two of them, in fact, Chu He wanted to act alone, but he was not familiar with the place, and he still needed a guide, so the empress approved Qingfeng's request and was accompanied by her.
With a powerful master like Chu He, Qingfeng is of course very safe.
"Once you control the soldiers and horses of the royal capital, Chu He can act cheaply, and this king will give you the highest power, and those who are rebellious will be beheaded. ”
Before parting, the empress gritted her teeth and gave such an order, and it seemed that she was really angry with these people.
A tall city is already close in front of you, even in the middle of the night, there are still many lights in the city, above the city gate, the word Xia City, are clearly visible from afar, this is Xia City, this is the royal capital of the Great Xia Empire, Chu He can feel the grandeur and prosperity of this city, but also know that behind this prosperity, there are countless murderous opportunities.
I believe the empress herself knows this, otherwise she would not have retreated step by step, step by step, or many times, she is also powerless, and over the years, the empress herself has been very aggrieved.
Qingfeng and Chu He, hiding on the side of the city gate, the two were very close, and they could smell each other's breath, this feeling was very familiar, and it seemed to be back to the situation when the two of them were in the dragon's lair, and they felt warm.
"I really didn't expect that I would be a side by side king, and I still need to be sneaky when I return to my own king. Qingfeng sighed, looked back at Chu He, with a kind of firmness in his starry eyes, and said: "Chu He, even if it is my request, this time no matter what, you have to help my sister, otherwise I can't let go at all and let my sister face such a dangerous situation alone." ”
Chu He nodded and said, "I will do my best." ”
Qingfeng leaned his head over, fell on Chu He's shoulder, and said: "As long as the crisis of the royal capital is solved, my sister can truly control the power of the empress, and she can better implement her own development plan. ”
Chu He wanted to say that he was thinking too much.
"Let's go, it's almost time, this is not the time to fall in love. Chu He interrupted the woman's words, and also interrupted her fantasy about the future, and helped her up.
The two of them walked along the city tower, looking for the easiest place to break through, as the king side by side, this Qingfeng is too familiar, Qingfeng is not a weakling, her strength is also a grandmaster, of course it is simple to want to cross the city, as for Chu He, it will be easier, if it weren't for cooperating with Qingfeng, he would have already passed.
A city tower, no matter how high it is, can't stop him.
Chu He took Qingfeng's hand, followed the wind step by step, stepping on the footsteps of the clouds and flowing water, like climbing the ladder, he had already climbed the city tower in a few breaths, in the distance, a neat patrol had just walked by, Qingfeng nodded, the two figures in the city tower flickered, leaving only two afterimages, a guard blinked his eyes, and when he looked at it again, he found that there was nothing there.
He didn't know that just now, two people broke into the royal capital in front of his eyes.
Qingfeng took Chu He, interspersed in the alley, and it didn't take long to come to the door of a small courtyard in a deep alley, this is a very ordinary courtyard, and the general appearance of thousands of families, Qingfeng looked cautious, with different fingerings, knocked on the door panel, the sound spread far away, and then not long after, a middle-aged woman opened the door.
The moment he saw Qingfeng, he almost screamed.
And Qingfeng's voice woke her up: "If you have something to say, go in and talk about it." ”
When the two men entered the courtyard, the door was closed, and the woman immediately saluted, and cried out, "See the king side by side, the king side by side, you are back." ”
"Jiansha, don't be polite, time is urgent, Your Majesty will return to the royal capital tomorrow, at this moment I will go back to the city in advance, just to rescue General Hongying and quell Huo Sikong's rebellion, do you have detailed information?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, who is this?" The woman came in from Chu He, and she focused all her attention on Chu He's body, because she felt a kind of danger and pressure from this young man's body, which was the most direct sense of a martial artist, so she had to be careful.
Qingfeng looked at Chu He, gave a warm smile, and said: "This Chu He, the one-word king personally crowned by His Majesty, the commander of the Flying Legion, and the future husband of this king, no matter when, his words represent the meaning of this king, and must not be rude." ”
The woman's face changed in shock, but she was still calm.
From Qingfeng's introduction, she knew too much information, the meaning of the three words of the one-word king and the one-word king that the empress personally sealed, of course she knew very well, not to mention that this man actually commanded the Flying Dancing Legion, or the future husband of the master in front of her, no matter which identity she was, it was not something that she could offend as a spy leader.
"I've seen the King of One Word, please forgive my subordinates for their rudeness just now. ”
Of course Chu He will not blame, after all, this woman has good vigilance, and this is also for the sake of Qingfeng.
"It's okay, those who don't know are not guilty, now let's talk about it, how to save General Hongying!"
"King, one-word king, come with me. ”
The two walked into the house, there was only one oil lamp in the house, Chu He leaned in and asked, "Can you be trusted?"
Qingfeng said: "The sword is the person left by my mother at the beginning, absolutely reliable, under the sword sha, there is also a guard, which was secretly formed by me and my sister, that is, let them investigate some inconvenient things in secret." ”
A map was placed on the table, and Chu He saw that the light was insufficient, so he took out an electronic lamp, which instantly brightened the room.
The two women were startled, but neither of them asked, but they all fixed their eyes on the map.
It was a topographical map of the royal capital, with many names on it, and the woman pointed to one of them and said: " General Hongying was placed under house arrest here, in fact, by General Hongying's side, there were people from our group, as soon as General Hongying had an accident, we had already received the news, and we were already preparing for a rescue operation, but after the investigation, the situation was very bad, this time General Hongying's house arrest incident, the plan to seize the royal capital's soldiers and horses, Nahuo's deputy commander was just a figure who was pushed to the forefront, and there were many black hands standing behind him, there were families, important ministers in the court, and even two princes......"
The woman said, and handed Qingfeng the relevant information, Qingfeng swept it, and the more she looked at it, the more angry she became, there were many people in it, she didn't expect it.
"These people, they really deserve to be killed. ”
The woman said: "General Hongying is extraordinary, there are hundreds of guards around, or he is under house arrest, according to the news that came out, now General Hongying has no worries about his life, only because the other party threatened the lives of General Hongying's entire clan, so that General Hongying is helpless, his subordinates have already found someone to try, in General Hongying's mansion, there are grandmaster-level masters stationed, so his subordinates are actively gathering people, ready to attack at the last moment, rescue General Hongying." ”
Qingfeng asked, "How are the soldiers and horses of the Four Cities moving now?"
The woman said: "The soldiers and horses of the four cities are still quite quiet, but there is a part of the army in the northern city, and it seems that they have taken refuge in Huo Sikong, according to the investigation, there is a cavalry general who is Huo Sikong's person. ”
Qingfeng nodded and said, "Is there any movement from the ministers of the court?"
When the woman heard this, her face was a little indignant, and she said: "After the incident, except for a few people in the court, the ministers ran around, and the other ministers did not move, they seemed to wait and see the changes, and wanted to wait for the final result. ”
Qingfeng has long been accustomed to this, and said: "Don't worry about the sword, at this moment, the empress will return to the royal capital, and there will inevitably be a change of dynasty, these two-faced and three-sword people will all be swept away, Your Majesty can no longer bear it, and is not willing to endure it anymore, immediately gather people, follow my action, tonight this king will pacify the royal capital, and the old thief Huo Sikong will be broken into pieces." ”
When the woman heard this, her face changed, and she persuaded: "Side by side with the king, this matter is not trivial, that General Red Sakura was besieged by several great grandmasters, and the men and horses under him are afraid that they will not be able to break through their defense domain, compared to General Red Sakura, the safety of the side by side king is more important, do not take risks, or let the subordinates lead people to break through, and the side by side king is in command behind the back." ”
