When I thought of the secret guard's tone of murder, it was as common as the mother-in-law in the kitchen telling people to kill fish and chickens.

Peony's back was cold.

An Rong furrowed his brows, and a look of worry appeared in his heart.

She thought of the scene when she saw Xiao Zhan for the first time after she was reborn, it was in the Meilin of the Jokhang Temple, Xiao Zhan fainted under the plum tree covered in blood.

In An Rong's eyes, Xiao Zhan is invincible, and no one can be his opponent.

But someone hurt him so harshly.

Moreover, it was late today, and he was unwell, but he still went out of the house to kill people.

What kind of enemy is it, he needs to go in person, can't the secret guard go?

An Rong looked out the window.

The night is like a thick inkstone, so deep that it can't be dissolved.

Seeing An Rong staring out the window for a long time, and the sleepiness on her face disappeared, Peony persuaded, "Young grandma, you don't know when you will come back, can you rest first?" ”

An Rong shook his head, "Go and bring the embroidery basket." ”

Peony was stunned for a moment, knowing that An Rong was embroidering needlework to pass the time, so she obediently went to bring the embroidery basket.

After putting down the embroidery basket, Peony brought another candle, and the room instantly lit up again.

Watching the lights and candles flickering, flickering on and off, it hurts the eyes.

Peony wanted to take out the Night Pearl, but that thing was too rare to touch casually, in case she missed and fell, she would not be able to pay for seventeen or eighteen lifetimes.

Night, flowing quietly.

Peony sits on a small pestle and embroiders a maple leaf.

Touching the lifelike maple leaves, peony is in love.

She picked up the thread and planned to embroider another piece.

At this moment, she heard a movement outside, and Peony hurriedly put down the embroidery shed.

At that time. An Rong had already gotten off the couch and turned around and went out.

opened the door and saw Xiao Zhan through the lantern hanging in the corridor.

His face was a little pale, and An Rong hurried over to help him.

As a result, as soon as his hand touched Xiao Zhan's clothes, An Rong felt that his hand was sticky, and there was a smell of blood on the tip of his nose.

An Rong's stomach instantly felt disgusted. She struggled to endure it. helped Xiao Zhan in.

Helping Xiao Zhan to sit down on the couch, An Rong instructed Peony Medicine, "Go get the medicine box." ”

Peony turned around and went to get the medicine box.

An Rong took a closer look at Xiao Zhan's injury. The injuries were somewhat severe, with quite a few wounds on the arms, thighs, and back.

Although it can't be fatal yet. But the blood came, and the complexion gradually weakened.

An Rong tore open Xiao Zhan's clothes. Using spirits to disinfect Xiao Zhan, that kind of stimulation, the corner of Xiao Zhan's mouth overflowed with a muffled snort.

The wound was a little deep, and An Rong helped him sew it up. He smeared the medicine and wrapped it in gauze.

By the time all the wounds were healed, it would be half an hour later.

During this period. An Rong didn't say a word to Xiao Zhan.

Peony brought a bowl of salt and sugar water, and An Rong took it. handed it to Xiao Zhan and said, "Drink it first, and I'll decoct it for you." ”

Xiao Zhan took the bowl and drank it all, the saltiness and sweetness of the salt and sugar water made him frown slightly.

Seeing An Rong turn to leave, he grabbed her and said, "I've been medicated, I'm already much better, I don't need to decoct medicine anymore." ”

An Rong looked at him, his complexion was three points clearer, still a little white, "You have lost too much blood, take medicine to make up for one or two, it's okay quickly, I'll be back soon." ”

With that, An Rong walked away quickly.

Peony glanced at Xiao Zhan and walked out of the room quickly.

She went to wake up Begonia and followed her to the pharmacy.

An Rong grabbed the medicine, told sù how to fry the peony medicine, and went back to the inner room.

As a result, Xiao Zhan was no longer in the house, and only Begonia was there to pick up the torn clothes.

"Where did you go?" An Rong glanced at the room and asked with a frown.

Haitang hurriedly stood up and replied, "Master took his clothes and went to the bathroom." ”

An Rong turned around and left again, but Xiao Zhan returned.

Xiao Zhan didn't take a bath, but just disgusted with the smell of blood on his body and wiped it off.

An Rong helped him sit on the bed, and at this time, she couldn't hold back at all and asked, "Xianggong, who hurt you?" ”

"General Ao," Xiao Zhan didn't hide it.

It's just this answer that made An Rong's eyes widen, "General Ao? Isn't he being locked up in the prison of the Criminal Department, how can he ......? ”

Xiao Zhan shouldn't be in a panic when he is full, he ran to kill General Ao at night, and was stabbed by him, there must be other reasons, did he escape from prison?

As An Rong expected, General Ao escaped from prison.

Not only did he escape, but he also found a substitute for the dead ghost to disguise himself as him and go to prison for him, and after three days, he was beheaded at the entrance of the vegetable market on West Street.

If you're lucky, the court will never find out what he's doing.

However, An Rong believes that General Ao is arrogant, if he really escapes, it is impossible to swallow his anger for the rest of his life, he will make a comeback and take revenge.

Although the imperial court will tell the world about General Ao's crimes, if General Ao really goes to the border and says that it is a slander of the imperial court, it is the same as framing a loyal minister for collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, the imperial court wants you to die, and the false testimony can come true, he was framed, and then instigated by someone to instigate one or two, and the 100,000 army is very likely to become a knife in his hand and stab the Great Zhou.

That would be a catastrophe for the Great Zhou.

However, he will never have that chance.

Xiao Zhan killed him.

And cut off the head of General Ao.

The next day, in the early dynasty, Xiao Laoguo entered the palace with a box containing the head of General Ao.

As soon as General Ao died, there were many people who were worried about the power of the 100,000 soldiers.

Because the emperor gave 30,000 soldiers to Xiao Zhan, those who were still waiting and did not dare to compete with Xiao Guo's mansion were also eager to try.

On the contrary, it was the Duke of Xiao Guo's Mansion, as soon as the military power was mentioned, the emperor frowned and was displeased, and then the emperor's henchmen came out and said, "Xiao Lao Guogong, you and General Xiao have enough military power in their hands, and the military power is too concentrated, which is not a good thing, the emperor has already given Young Master Xiao Biao 30,000 soldiers and horses, he is a fledgling and has mastered an army of 100,000, isn't this child's play?" ”

Then those ministers who wanted military power all stood up and wanted to force off Old Duke Xiao.

Old Duke Xiao laughed and took the emperor's henchmen under the knife, "Chen Shilang, you just recommended the third prince to be a general before." Leading the troops at the border, the old man doesn't understand, in your eyes, Zhan'er is a fledgling, what are the three princes, isn't there even a thatched house? ”

No matter what Xiao Zhan said, he is also from a family of generals. I have been exposed to it since I was a child. He has also been on the battlefield and made military exploits.

As for the third prince, he grew up in the palace since he was a child. He hasn't even been out of Kyoto a few times, but he was recommended to be in charge of an army of 100,000, which is like taking the border pass as child's play!

is so favoritism, Xiao Lao Guogong still talked to him calmly. Chen Shilang's back was cold, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Shrinking his neck, he didn't dare to recommend people anymore.

Except for those generals who have already been on the battlefield, among the younger generation, no one can compete with Xiao Zhan.

No, the topic has revolved to the fact that the Duke of Xiao Guo has too much military power.

Be. Xiao Zhan is very good, whether it is martial arts strategy or scheming. Not to lose to anyone.

Your old man Xiao dislikes him for having too little military power, and he is too big and useless. If you give him half of the military power in your hand, the Manchu civil and military will definitely have no opinion.

I was reluctant to rob 100,000 soldiers and horses, why don't you say that all the soldiers and horses of the entire Great Zhou are given to you?

In that case, it's really good, as long as there is a fight, it will be the business of your Xiao Guogong Mansion, and our generals will be disarmed and returned to the field, and go home to hold the child and breastfeed.

Such rude words, and facing the domineering Xiao Laoguogong, of course, it was Zhao Wang Ye who dared to say it, he was also used to being domineering, and he had already proclaimed himself a general.

He also came to rob the military power, and that day in front of the prison of the Criminal Department, he was stimulated by the words of General Cheng and General Ao, the idle prince, without power and power......

He's going to be a powerful prince!

Seeing that Zhao Wangye and Xiao Laoguo were facing each other fairly, a group of ministers did not dare to speak up, Xiao Laoguo was not easy to provoke, and Zhao Wangye was the same.

Old Duke Xiao glanced at Prince Zhao.

Zhao Wangye is burly, his martial arts are not bad, and he has brute strength, ordinary people can't beat him, but Grandpa Guo really doesn't take him seriously.

It's just that his words made the Guogong Mansion frown slightly.

Because the emperor did not reprimand Prince Zhao, it was tantamount to acquiescence.

Xiao Lao Guogong doesn't like to pinch soft persimmons, he has no sense of achievement, and he wastes his strength, this is not a glance, the spearhead is pointed at the emperor, "The emperor also thinks that my Xiao family has too many troops in the Great Zhou and threatens the emperor?" ”

Does this need to be asked?

Isn't this confusing?

Although he thought so, the emperor said with a smile on his face, "The Xiao Guogong Mansion is loyal to the Great Zhou, and I remember it in my heart." ”

"Since you are loyal, why not give the military power to Zhan'er?" Xiao Lao Guogong asked rhetorically.

Xiao Lao Guogong's words, with an aggressive momentum, the emperor's face sank.

"Zhan'er's qualifications are still shallow, and they are not enough to control an army of 100,000, and military affairs are not child's play," the emperor said in a cold voice.

"Qualifications?" Old Duke Xiao raised his head and smiled, "In this hall, who is not shallow in qualifications and can be qualified for the 100,000 army?" ”

As soon as Xiao Laoguogong's voice fell, a general stood up, "I can do it!" ”

This can be regarded as a self-recommendation.

It's a pity that he is destined to be unlucky.

The father-in-law sent the box to Xiao Laoguogong, and Xiao Laoguo picked it up and smashed it directly at the general.

The general didn't dare to fight back, only dared to dodge.

The box slammed into the ground, and a head rolled out.

stunned the Manchu civil and military.

The sharp-eyed minister exclaimed, "It's General Ao's head!" ”

Then, a group of ministers all looked at Old Duke Xiao.

is too bold, he actually dared to commit suicide to General Ao, the emperor has already issued an order to behead him to show the public, he is openly resisting the decree and despising the imperial power.

"Old Duke Xiao, ...... are you?" Pei You asked puzzled.

Xiao Laoguo snorted coldly, "As soon as General Ao was imprisoned, a bunch of people stared at the power of the 100,000 soldiers, General Ao stole the beams and changed the pillars, and escaped from the prison of the Criminal Department, and it has been six hours now, why hasn't anyone found out?!" ”

Xiao Lao Guogong's questioning voice was sonorous and powerful, and it was thrown on the hearts of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces.

Xiao Laoguo looked at the emperor with a very bad face, smiled coldly, pointed to General Ao's head, and said, "The emperor should know what the consequences will be if he escapes, right?" ”

The emperor's face was as heavy as frost, if he really told General Ao to escape...... The consequences are unimaginable.

"This head was cut off by Zhan'er, who is junior in your eyes! Compared to your lip service, Zhan'er is not just shallow?! ”

"My Xiao family has one-third of the troops of the Great Zhou, and the ministers are jealous, to put it bluntly, aren't they afraid that the old man will be in a bad mood one day and rebel? ! Okay, the old man is not the prince of this country, whoever wants the soldiers and horses in the hands of my Xiao family will take it! The old man went home and teased his grandson! ”

As he spoke, Xiao Laoguo threw Shuai Yin in front of the emperor's dragon case.

Turn around and leave. (To be continued) R580
