Chapter 238: Life and Death Struggle

"Zhao Sheng. "www.biquge.info Yuan He raised his hand and motioned for him to come closer, and he did not seem deliberately unfamiliar with Zhao Sheng's name at this time, and it was a little intimate to call him by his name. After seeing Zhao Sheng take two steps forward, Yuan He looked at me and said to him, "You have been in the palace for almost two months." ”

"Back to Your Majesty, it's been two months and nine days." Zhao Sheng leaned over and replied.

Yuan Hyuk nodded, "Well, it's been more than two months, and earlier, I heard that you and your mother were both benefactors of Madame, and Gu has been thinking about it, thinking about how to repay you for taking care of Madame." ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the deceased mother of the ministers and ministers did not take in Mrs. Zhaohua in order to get repayment. Moreover, on that day, it was Mrs. Zhaohua who saved the minister first, and the minister did not expect to be taken care of, but it was enough to wish his wife safe and sound. Zhao Sheng leaned forward and didn't move, he adapted quickly to the red tape in the Yu Palace.

It's no wonder, after all, the master assigned to him is Cheng Jing, a former supervisor who is known for his caution.

Yuan He's proposal was rejected by Zhao Sheng seriously, but he didn't get angry, but said, "Zhao Sheng, I heard Mrs. Gu mention that there was a riot in Xiangcheng, and before your mother and son were separated from your wife, you were still desperately trying to protect your wife's safety, and you sincerely want to thank you personally." ”

Zhao Sheng listened for a long time before he raised his head slightly, he looked at me, and then replied to Yuan He, "Mrs. Zhaohua is a weak woman, even if she is not a minister, if she is anyone, she will come to the rescue." Mrs. Zhaohua is now safe, and she has made the minister's deceased old mother blind. ”

Didn't he want to tell me that Aunt Zhao was still thinking about me at the last moment of her life.

"Zhao Sheng, I remember when Mrs. Cheng asked Lord Cheng to find you in the palace, you said that your old mother died of illness half a month ago, right?" Won Hyuk was silent for a moment, then asked him.

Zhao Sheng lowered his head even lower.

I thought that it was a bit too much for Yuan Hyuk to open other people's wounds like this, and I did see the relationship between Zhao Sheng and his mother. Although I don't read many people, but Aunt Zhao was really kind to me at that time, Zhao Sheng can take care of Aunt Zhao meticulously, he is really a filial son. Yuan Hyuk uncovered Zhao Sheng's mother's pain again, and I leaned behind him and pushed him slightly.

I thought that Zhao Sheng lowered his head and was sad because of Won Hyuk's words and remembering his mother who died of illness.

Yuan He clearly sensed my hint, but he didn't seem to know, he turned his head sideways and said, "In the early hours of yesterday morning, Gu received a secret report, and it was too late to dispatch others, so Gu sent his wife's younger brother, General Hou, to take people to investigate. In a ruined temple outside the city, he killed four mountain bandits and rescued an old woman who was about 60 years old. ”

Won Hyuk mentioned this irrelevant matter for no reason, which made me wonder. But seeing that his expression was very confident, I guessed that the old man he sent Hou Yue out to save in the early morning should have something to do with him calling Zhao Sheng today.

But the old man saved?

Yuan He couldn't have misunderstood, the old woman who was rescued was Zhao Sheng's mother, Aunt Zhao. Although I think that Zhao Sheng is so filial to Aunt Zhao, how could he be wrong about whether Aunt Zhao died of illness. But Wonhyuk's attitude clearly told me that he was already very sure.

Yuan He looked at Zhao Sheng at this time, "I heard that Madam said that you are very good to your mother." So I thought that the old woman who claimed to be surnamed Zhao, and kept saying that she was looking for her son Ah Cheng, should not be Lord Zhao. Na Gu arranged for others to send the old woman surnamed Zhao out of Mucheng. ”

Zhao Sheng kept his head down until Yuan Hyuk said that he was going to arrange for others to send the old woman out of Mucheng, and I saw Zhao Sheng trembling.

Won Hyuk didn't speak again.

"Your Majesty......" Zhao Sheng looked like he had made a lot of determination. He lowered his hair and trembled, and said, "What Your Majesty has saved may ...... It was the minister's mother......"

Of the three people present, I probably felt more stunned by this answer, I just felt like I had been cheated and had too many doubts. Just after Zhao Sheng's answer, I came back to my senses and was about to step forward to ask clearly, when Yuan Hyuk suddenly grabbed me by his side.

I looked down at him, but he motioned for me to wait.

When Yuan Hyuk looked at me, although he was extremely gentle, but when he turned his head to face Zhao Sheng, it was always the other side that I didn't seem to know very well, and it turned out that he could also be calm and wise.

Yuan He was a little puzzled by Zhao Sheng's words, and still asked with concern, "Zhao Sheng, didn't you say that your mother has ......?"

Zhao Sheng fell to his knees suddenly.

"Don't rush, speak slowly." Seeing Zhao Sheng's reaction, Yuan He didn't blame him for deceiving for a while, but didn't forget to comfort Zhao Sheng and said, "Don't worry, the old woman surnamed Zhao is safe now." General Hou was ordered to protect her. ”

Hou Yue went to do things for Yuan He, but Yuan He mentioned that Hou Yue was protecting the old woman surnamed Zhao, which inevitably made me feel a little wrong in my heart.

These words provoked a greater reaction to Zhao Sheng, "Your Majesty, your minister...... Chen's mother was not dead, but was kidnapped. The person who kidnapped the minister's mother, threatened the minister with his mother's safety, and then sent the minister to the palace in order to become his minions and do things for him. ”

Yuan He seemed to be furious, he slapped the book case, and said angrily, "Who is it?!" Who is so bold as to dare to stir up such a matter in the royal palace? ”

"Adulthood." Zhao Sheng said. "When the minister was found by Lord Cheng and brought into the palace, the minister's mother was still fine. Cheng Daren threatened his ministers with his mother's life, and asked the ministers to do things for him during his tenure as a supervisor. ”

"Cheng Jing?!" Although Won Hyuk seemed shocked, I didn't think he was surprised, maybe he already knew. Otherwise, how could he send Hou Yue out to save such an ordinary old woman.

Zhao Sheng lowered his head, raised the hem of his clothes and knelt in front of the case, he told all about how Cheng Jing found him and how he imprisoned Aunt Zhao and threatened him. Not only that, Zhao Sheng also informed Cheng Jing of his next plans......

"Lord Zhao," Yuan Hyuk began to change his expression after listening to Zhao Sheng's word for word explanation, cautious, rational, and clearly suppressed his anger. "You can rest assured, the kindness of your mother and son to Mrs. is in your heart, but whenever you have the opportunity, you will definitely repay this kindness. Cheng Jing's matter, Lone naturally knows in his heart, although you are instructed by it, but you have not done anything specific, not to mention that you are a filial son, Lone can remember that you take care of the safety of your old mother, so you have to stop, you report the matter of Cheng Cheng today, and you think that you have made meritorious contributions. You can rest assured, Lone will not allow them to hurt Mrs. in the slightest, you go back, pretend that nothing happened, and after Lone has wiped everyone out, thinking that you know your mistakes and can save the overall situation, it will definitely make your mother and son have a better time in their next life. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhao Sheng said, slowly getting up. "The minister knows what to do, and he will live up to His Majesty and Mrs. Zhaohua."

Yuan He waved his hand, and Zhao Sheng retreated.

I didn't expect that Cheng Jing said that he found Zhao Sheng and brought Zhao Sheng into the palace, and there was such a thing hidden behind this. No wonder Zhao Sheng's reaction at that time was so strange, no wonder Cheng Jing would take the initiative to let Zhao Sheng live in Chengfu.

Cheng Jing threatened Zhao Sheng with Aunt Zhao, Xu understood my trust in him, so he installed such a person beside me.

It seems that this palace change is doomed.

……

First.

"Are you really not going with us?" Before getting into the car, I couldn't help but turn around and ask Won Hyuk.

He personally escorted us to the city gates, but said goodbye to us. "It's still a long way to go, so be careful along the way." After instructing me, Yuan He explained to Hou Yue again, "After worshipping the ancestors, Mrs. will really be a sister and brother with you, along the way, you must take care of her, and don't be careless in everything." ”

"Minister...... The minister will live up to His Majesty's expectations and will definitely protect the return of Sister A. Hou Yue clenched his fists to show his determination.

On his childish face, he showed his frankness and pride.

These children have all grown up before I know it.

"In that case, let's go." I saw Yuan He nodding to Hou Yue, so I said to Yuan He, "You should also be careful in the palace." ”

Won Hyuk turned his head sideways and smiled, his tone softer, and said, "Okay." ”

I turned around to get into the car, but Wonhyuk pulled me, I turned around, and he said to me, "Be careful." ”

I nodded, shook his hand back and let go and got into the car.

Hou Yue got on the horse, let out a long shout, and the group began to walk forward in a mighty way. Wonhyuk stood outside the carriage and watched us leave.

When I got out of Mucheng, Hou Yue, who had been walking at the front of the line on the horse, slowed down and walked with the carriage I was riding. I saw him through the curtain of the carriage, so I simply lifted the curtain and said, "What's wrong?" ”

"Sister, I can't figure it out." Hou Yue's doubts were all written in his head.

"If you can't figure it out, let's hear it." This convoy is not driving fast, and at such a speed to the foot of Shaoshan Mountain, why is it going to be tomorrow night, and I am bored at this time, and it is rare to pass the time.

"On weekdays, Your Majesty is always very attentive to your sister, but why did your Majesty not do it this time when my sister went to Yuwen's house to worship her ancestors and recognize her relatives." Hou Yue was quite suspicious of Yuan He's unconventional words and deeds today.

"Maybe he can't get out of it, so he has to stay in the palace." I understood and smiled indifferently.

"What could be more important than something as big as my sister now recognizing her marriage? From Mucheng to the foot of Shaoshan Mountain, although the distance is not far, it is not close. Isn't Your Majesty worried about whether your sister will encounter danger on the way? Hou Yue naturally knew that Yuan He would never let me fall into danger, so his doubts were not incomprehensible.

"Didn't Your Majesty tell you to take care of me on the way?" I said, in fact, at this moment, I know very well that the Yu Palace is not necessarily safer than on this road. Yuan He had to stay, I'm afraid it was for those things he had to face alone, but he didn't necessarily want to protect my safety when he separated from me, Hou Yue and I went on the road alone, and some people with ill intentions would definitely choose to attack me at this time, and we also happened to separate some of the main forces of those people, which was also beneficial to Yuan He. "Hou Yue, have you arranged everything along the way?"

Hou Yue hesitated and nodded.

"We will definitely encounter danger on this trip, you have to remember, give up the small to protect the big." I hinted to him that we could not concentrate all our entourage at this time, that we could only defend ourselves, and that our situation was too passive and dangerous.

Hou Yue thought about it and nodded again.

When it was almost sunset, Hou Yue Yu immediately stepped forward to stop the team, looked at the sky, and said, "We will set up camp here tonight, rest for the night, and continue to hurry early tomorrow morning." ”

The team dispersed, and we parted ways to stop, and Cui Xi stepped forward to help me out of the carriage and chatted with me, "Madame, you're tired." ”

"It's fine." I am indeed tired, from the morning until now, except for a short stop at noon, I have been on the road, and the people who ride in the car may not be light.

After the tent was set up, Cui Xi helped me into the tent, and found a basin from the carriage, "Madam, the slave and maid will go and fetch some water for you to wash." ”

I nodded and saw her out.

Here, it was dark when it was dark, and it didn't take a while, it was just sunset, and now it was pitch black.

"Sister." Hou Yue was busy outside and commanded all the arrangements, and when he entered the tent, he looked around, "We are out of the palace, the conditions will definitely be a little worse than in the palace, and we have to grieve my sister to rest here for one night." ”

I smiled at him, meaning I didn't really care. And at this time, there was a sudden noise outside the tent, Hou Yue and I were not very surprised, he walked out of the tent before me, and there was a fight around him.

“…… Madame, Madame! Cui Xi came back with a basin, she was frightened and cried by all this in front of her, and when she found me in the crowd, she grabbed me and didn't let go.

"You go first, and someone will answer you." Hou Yue took out a knife from his waist and pointed to the side and said to us.

I grabbed Cui Xi, who was already paralyzed, and fled for my life in the direction pointed by Hou Yue.

We didn't have to go far, and the sound of killing was still behind us. While we were looking back, a black-clothed assassin suddenly came out of nowhere, and when he saw us, he slashed with his sword.

Cui Xi and I ducked in a panic, but we got closer and closer to a cliff and were cornered.

Tricy looked at me fiercely, and she suddenly rolled up her sleeves and lunged at the black-clad assassin, trying to push him off the cliff. The black-clothed assassin just hit the trick and fell under his feet, and when he was about to fall, he pulled Cui Xi, and Cui Xi fell down with it. I reacted quickly, threw myself on the ground and grabbed Cui Xi, who was already hanging under the cliff.

"Madame, Madame, save me......" Cui Xi was afraid.

I was stunned.

Save her......

Tri-hee knew too much, and though Wonhyuk hadn't had time to confirm to her if I was going out in the middle of the night, I was able to dismiss him for a moment. But if he asks again one day, Cui Xi is always my biggest hidden danger.

"I'm sorry......" I said to her, closing my eyes.

Suddenly, I shook off her hand, and at the cries of Cuixi, I watched her fall...... (To be continued.) )
