Chapter 340: Violent Death

Princess Cheng sat down with a meek smile, and poured another glass of wine for King Cheng, who drank the wine in the cup and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Two years ago, the emperor transferred a lot of soldiers and horses to the south, and now I have insufficient soldiers and horses in my hands, although I have let people go to the north to borrow troops from several big tribes, but first, I don't know how much I can borrow, second, even if there is, I can't borrow too much, so as not to bully the master, I thought, why don't you set off tomorrow, go to Xijing Road, find your uncle, and seconded some people to the extreme northern tribe, although there are not many people in the extreme northern tribe, but they can all be used as ten, and they are their own people, I can borrow 10,000 people, and I am not afraid of anything."

Princess Cheng nodded hurriedly in agreement,

"The emperor can rest assured, the concubine will leave early tomorrow morning."

Princess Cheng's eyebrows were flying, and she was overjoyed,

"Good, good! In the end, I am the queen, it is really at a critical juncture, or we have to work side by side! ”

Zhou Shixin glanced at Princess Cheng with gloomy eyes, took the wine jug, and poured wine for King Cheng attentively, King Cheng drank the wine, as if he remembered something, and looked at Princess Cheng with a smoky look and asked:

"Shiyuan is alright, right?"

"It's okay, the concubine has already asked someone to escort him over."

Princess Cheng replied calmly, King Cheng said 'um', turned his head to look at Zhou Shixin, who had already gotten up and stood beside him, and poured wine and cloth dishes carelessly, hesitated, turned his head to look at Princess Cheng and then asked:

"Xu didn't come along?"

"Xu's body is weak, the concubine is in a hurry, when she comes, I don't know if I can escape, and I don't know if I can find the emperor, besides, there is no one in the palace in the capital, the concubine and the Xu family discussed, so let her stay in the capital, the concubine took Wanruo to go first, the emperor can rest assured, when the concubine entered the city just now, she has sent someone back to deliver the letter, so she will take the Xu family over."

King Cheng nodded with satisfaction, Zhou Shixin breathed a sigh of relief, his body relaxed, and he poured the wine more diligently.

Princess Cheng stood up, lifted the curtain and came out, instructed her mother-in-law to withdraw the cold dishes, served the hot dishes again, and ordered Jin Ling to warm the pot of wine again, beckoned Yu Jian to come over, Yu Jian looked straight at Princess Cheng, Princess Cheng smiled and ordered:

"You go to the front yard, Xiao Wu and a few of them are very the way, you personally send them some wine and food, and then instruct them to go down, I have to leave for Xijing Road early tomorrow morning, without further ado, let them hurry up and prepare, and, the girl is tired on the road, I remember the medicine we brought, it seems to be put in the purse that Xiao Wu carried, let him take some for you, and I will send it to the girl."

Princess Cheng nagged and instructed carefully, Yu Jian listened carefully, bent her knees with a solemn face, turned around and went to the kitchen, took a few mothers-in-law, carried wine and food, and went to the front yard.

After a while, Yu Jian came back, and entered the main house lightly, Princess Cheng laid out the dishes for King Cheng, glanced at Yu Jian and asked:

"All ordered?"

"Back to the princess, I have been instructed, and the girl's medicine has also been taken, and I just asked Grandma Sun to send it to the girl."

Princess Cheng said 'um', shook the half-empty wine jug in her hand, handed it to Yu Jian casually, turned her head to look at King Cheng who was already seven or eight percent drunk, and persuaded with a smile:

"The emperor drank a lot today, the concubine let people warm a pot of wine, drink it, the concubine will wait for the master to go in and rest, this wine can't be too much."

King Cheng burped, and his tongue was a little stiff in agreement,

"Okay, Shixin has also worked hard, let's go down and rest."

Zhou Shixin hurriedly stood up, said goodbye to the retreat, helped a mother-in-law, and went back to the east wing room with some floating steps.

Yu Jian stepped forward with the wine jug in both hands, and handed it to Princess Cheng very carefully, Princess Cheng took the wine jug, closed her eyes and paused, turned around, and poured the wine in King Cheng's cup, King Cheng drank two glasses in a row, waved his hand, and retreated everyone, and his tongue knotted and ordered:

"Go down, go down, let the princess wait, just do it." Yu Jian looked at Princess Cheng with worried eyes, Princess Cheng glanced at Yu Jian, King Cheng had already stretched out his hand and pulled Princess Cheng into his arms,

"Come, concubine, I miss you."

Princess Cheng quietly broke free of King Cheng's hand, turned to King Cheng's side, helped him to stand up, and gently suggested:

"The emperor is tired for a day, so wait for the emperor to go in and rest."

King Cheng's thoughts were scattered, his eyes were becoming more and more trance-like, looking at the gentle face under the shadow of the lamp, he shook his head vigorously, staggered twice, raised his hand to support Princess Cheng's chin, ate and smiled, and said in an ambiguous whisper:

"Heart and liver, last time, the master didn't have a good time, and I will wait for the master again tonight."

Princess Cheng bit her lip and didn't answer, only helped King Cheng, half-pushed and half-dragged him into the inner room, pushed King Cheng to the bed, Princess Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, bent down, lifted King Cheng's legs hard, put them on the bed, took off his boots for him, pushed him to lie down, took half a step back, looked at King Cheng who kept muttering and laughing at himself, and after a while, King Cheng fainted and fell asleep with him, Princess Cheng stared at King Cheng who was sleepy, until half an hour later, she breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and walked to the door, and lifted the curtain beckoned Jin Ling in.

Jin Ling and a strong woman flashed into the inner room, staring timidly at King Cheng on the bed, Princess Cheng raised her hand and signaled to the two, Jin

Ling breathed a sigh of relief, posted to Princess Cheng's side, and reported in a low voice:

"They are all drugged and have already fallen, Yu Jian led people to guard the inner courtyard, and Xiao Wu guarded the outer courtyard."

Princess Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, turned her head to look at King Cheng who was sleeping on the bed as if she was dead, drooped her shoulders, stood with her head down for a long time, and then turned around calmly and walked to the hanger next to her, picked a long silk silk, pulled it in her hand, walked to the bed, looked down at King Cheng who was sleeping with a smile on his face, tears fell, turned around and beckoned, Jin Ling and the mother-in-law walked to the bed, lowered their heads, one pressed their legs, one pressed their arms, held it down, and looked up at Princess Cheng.

Princess Cheng took a deep breath, suddenly wrapped the silk silk in her hand around King Cheng's neck quickly, gritted her teeth and tightened it hard, Jin Ling and her mother-in-law almost at the same time, pressed King Cheng's limbs hard, King Cheng's two eyes were so open that they almost fell out, his mouth was wide open, his whole body trembled like a sieve, and after a while, his face was purple and his tongue was spit out.

Princess Cheng twisted her head, didn't look at King Cheng, only forced the silk silk, Jin Ling and her mother-in-law pressed for a quarter of an hour, and the body of King Cheng under her hands had been stiff and loose and paralyzed, Jin Ling relaxed her hand, moved two steps forward, plucked up her courage, put her finger on King Cheng's mouth and nose, tried for a long time, then let out a long breath, reached out and took the silk silk in Princess Cheng's hand, and said in a low voice:

"Princess, the lord is gone."

Princess Cheng let go of her hand in a daze, stood up, and looked at King Cheng with a hideous face, Jin Ling signaled to her mother-in-law, and her mother-in-law stepped forward, hugged the bed quilt, and wrapped King Cheng with his head and feet.

Princess Cheng took the handkerchief handed by Jin Ling, wiped the tears off her face, tilted her head, closed her eyes and calmed down for a moment, and calmly ordered:

"Tie up Zhou Shixin and call Xiao Wu in."

Jin Ling agreed, hurriedly out of the house, Princess Cheng turned her head, as if she wanted to take another look at King Cheng on the bed, but she turned her head back stiffly, strode out of the house, the mother-in-law sighed lowly, took a small pestle out, sat at the door, guarded the house, guarded King Cheng.

Xiao Wu took a middle-aged man and hurriedly entered the courtyard, Princess Cheng came out, pointed to the inside, and said lightly:

"The prince has an emergency, and he can't be treated for a while, so he has already left."

Xiao Wu paused, took half a step back, looked at Princess Cheng, suddenly knelt on the ground, kowtowed a few times, and the middle-aged man also knelt on the ground and kowtowed, kowtowed, and without waiting for the princess to command, Xiao Wu had already stood up neatly, looked at Princess Cheng and asked in a low voice:

"In this army, are there any people who are willing to listen to the princess's orders and can restrain the army?"

Princess Cheng nodded,

"In this city, it is General Wang, you and Yu Jian go together to invite him over, and say that the lord has something to tell him."

Xiao Wu nodded and agreed, and together with Yu Jian, he hurried out of the courtyard, asked for a horse, and rushed to General Wang's residence. In the middle of the night, the south gate of Longzhou City quietly opened a crack, and a man dressed in black and covered in black cloth, holding the golden order of King Cheng, went out of the city, lay on his horse, and galloped towards the opposite side of Cheng Ke's military camp.

Less than a month after King Cheng raised his army, he died of a violent illness in the camp, Princess Cheng led the generals to confess their crimes, but Zhou Shixin took advantage of the chaos to escape, and fled all the way to the north under the escort of dozens of personal guards.

Cheng Ke sent people to escort Princess Cheng and his party and King Cheng's corpse back to the capital, while cleaning up the people in the North Third Route Army, and before he had time to collect the soldiers and horses of the North Third Road, the northern tribes took advantage of the invitation of King Cheng to take advantage of the emptiness of the North Third Road, and drove all the way down, burning and looting, and the people on the north side of Yongxing Military Road and Hedong Road, following the countless miserable refugees on Qinfeng Road, also fled to the south in panic, seeking a way to survive in the direction of the imperial city.

Cheng Ke hurriedly incorporated the Northern Third Route Army into the armies of various places, commanded the army, waved his army north, and marched rapidly day and night to meet the northern tribes.

To the north of the capital, refugees help the old and drag the young, in an endless stream, in the cold and famine of early spring, they rush to the direction of the capital in a panic.

Li Xiaonuan leaned on the pillow, and while paying attention to Ah Ben, who was squeaking and talking to Cheng Xuyi next to him, he flipped through the copy in his hand.

The canonization of the queen mother and the emperor's enthronement ceremony were all simplified, and the canonization of the queen and concubine of the harem simply did not have a ceremony.

Alas, too, now is the time when the green and yellow are not connected, that is, the usual year, at this time, the poorer people also have to live half-full, and now the people of the entire North Third Road have almost become refugees, all the way to flee, even begging for food, can not be begged, these people, had to come to the emperor to help, this has to raise troops, and to relieve so many refugees, the treasury is not rich, but also everything should be simple.
