Chapter 169: Flesh and Blood
The emperor was not as annoyed as he expected, he was extremely calm, as if he had expected Zhou Ying to bring up the matter. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"I never imagined that the person I had been thinking about for many years and had set out to search for all over the country would have returned to me a long time ago. Either way, this time, I won't let her go again. The emperor's gaze was extremely resolute and full of tenderness.
Zhou Ying couldn't help but be surprised, since when did the emperor not know how to restrain his emotions like this.
"You don't have to shirk it anymore, this time I must take a good break and raise the prestige of the Heavenly Dynasty. When the war in the north is over, you will return to the capital immediately, and you will no longer have to work in such a bitter cold place. ”
Zhou Ying saw that the emperor was resolute and did not dare to resist the decree, so he said gratefully, "The old minister bows to the emperor." It's just that the strategy set by the emperor is afraid that it will be inappropriate, and Ganzhou City will never be captured by force. ”
The emperor smiled with relief, "Of course I know that it is not possible to storm Ganzhou..."
"Then the emperor wants to...?" He looked at the confident and meaningful smile on the emperor's face, and suddenly realized, "Does the emperor want to put the main force behind?" Stretch the front? ”
"Almost." The emperor paced to the sand table and pointed to the city surrounded by mountains in the sand table, "The team I said about storming Ganzhou is just a show for the Rouran people, and the main force of the real siege is still from the back. If I guessed correctly, the Suzhou garrison had already walked half the way. ”
"Suzhou Mansion!" Zhou Ying shouted out of her voice. He pinched a sweat for the emperor in his heart, this young emperor is really bold, Suzhou is already in northern Sichuan outside Hangu Pass, nearly a thousand miles away from Ganzhou, he is really not afraid of long journeys, low morale.
"I know what you're worried about, it's nothing more than a lack of siege strength. You can rest assured that the Suzhou Army is commanded by Tian Yuan, and I still have trust in this junior brother. ”
"Lao Chen is not questioning Major General Tian's ability, but..."Zhou Ying has been galloping on the battlefield for decades, and he can't express his inner feelings at this moment. This arrangement is just too risky, and it will be ruined, and there is no room to turn over.
But he didn't dare to say it, the battlefield is changing rapidly, maybe this emperor can really take Ganzhou and shock Rouran.
Standing in Liangzhou City and looking into the distance, the vast wilderness is boundless, and the outline of the ups and downs of the mountain can be vaguely seen. The sky was dark until the stars hung in the sky, and when you looked up, it seemed as if you could reach it.
"Your Majesty, it's windy at night, so let's go back to the imperial camp and rest early!" Li Ronggui helplessly held the cloak in his hand, he was almost too cold to stand it, but he saw that this master was still standing in the wind, unaffected.
"Is there any news from the capital?" The Emperor asked in a deep voice.
"Not yet, if there is news, Chen Yi will rush over immediately."
The emperor's expression was complicated, and he couldn't figure out why there was still no movement, because he underestimated Murong Jing, and he wouldn't be held by himself so easily.
"Back to the Imperial Camp."
"Whoa." Li Ronggui happily answered and followed.
On the surface, the capital was indeed calm, beyond what the emperor and Kang Jie had previously assumed. The north is uneasy, and if the emperor leaves the capital in person, it will naturally be an excellent time to commit rebellion. But the reality is like this, Murong Jing honestly stayed in Langya's fiefdom, and Wang Yu Wenheng did not change at all, and for a while, he couldn't see through what their purpose was.
On this day, Kang Jie had just come out of the cabinet duty office and was about to leave the palace, when he passed by the Taihe Palace, he happened to see a woman in a green robe carrying a double-layer food box and stepping on the white marble steps.
"Suzhu." Kang Jie recognized her as the junior sister of Chen Yi, the head of the imperial guard, and walked a few steps forward to shout, but saw the woman stop and lean slightly towards him.
Kang Jie politely returned the salute, and when he saw that Su Zhu's eyebrows were as cold as frost and snow, he felt difficult, "Miss Su is going to bring food to Concubine Jin!" ”
Su Zhu couldn't speak, just bowed her head slightly, and then continued to walk towards the hall door, not seeing Kang Jie's anxious look at all.
"Miss Su, although this Taihe Hall is large, its structure is simple, and there are not many guards. How can the emperor detain Concubine Jin here, it is too unsafe, it is better to transfer her to the Department of Internal Guard, which is more reliable, and there will be an accident in the province. ”
Su Zhu ignored him completely and just walked on her own. In the blink of an eye, he climbed the Bailai jade steps and arrived at the entrance of the main hall. She took out the emperor's private note from her sleeve, and the Yulin Army guards got out of the way and opened the door to the main hall for her. Although Kang Jie was the commander of the internal guard, he did not have the emperor's edict, so he had to be stopped outside the main hall.
"Master Kang, please forgive me, this is the rule of the Taihe Palace, and the lowly rank does not dare to slack off."
Kang Jie barely squeezed out a smile and had to go home.
Su Zhu walked towards the throne and followed the steps outlined in the emperor's secret letter to open the way to the underground palace. She is a person who practices martial arts, and she easily arrived in the underground palace. After placing the food box on the dining table, I didn't want to stay, so I planned to leave. When he was about to jump up, he heard the faint voice of a woman on the bed.
"Wait!" Su Wanqing sat up from the couch, opened the curtain and looked at the blue-robed woman standing not far away, "Girl, can you prepare some medicine for me?" I... I'm feeling a little unwell. ”
Su Zhu turned to look at her, and saw that her face was pale and her eyes were heavy, and she didn't look like she was lying, so she walked over and sat down beside her, grabbed her arm and prepared to cut her pulse.
"You don't need to be treated, it's just a simple cold cough. I know what kind of medicine to use, I have written it for you. Su Wanqing took out a blank piece of paper from under the pillow and handed it to her tremblingly.
Su Zhu glanced at her a few times, took the paper from her hand, unfolded it and looked at it a few times, a sneer hooked up at the corner of her mouth, and with a hiss, she tore the paper apart.
"You're... Ahh
Su Wanqing felt that her wrist was pinched by her, and she had cut her pulse to see a doctor. After a while, Su Wanqing could obviously hear the muffled sound in her throat, but she couldn't hide it.
Su Zhu Er let go of her and left the dungeon without looking back. Su Wanqing couldn't see her leaving clearly, her hands just touched her lower abdomen, and she burst into tears silently.
She had enough of crying before she went to the dining table and sat down in a chair with her hands on the corner. The box was delicate and beautiful, and the gold-painted phoenix was lifelike, stabbing her eyes painfully. She lifted the lid, only to see that the main food, porridge, and side dishes with all the colors and flavors were placed in it. It's so rich, probably for lunch... Su Wanqing looked at the upper part of the line, is it noon outside?
She sighed and took the porridge out. As soon as she put a spoonful to her mouth, she felt as if her stomach was turning over the river, which made her retch...
