In the afternoon, with the clatter of horses' hooves, a guard galloped on horseback, rushed all the way out of the palace gate, and galloped towards the military camp where Du Yan was.

"Newspaper - urgent report in the palace - "

This abrupt announcement was drawn closer from afar, interrupting the noise in the barracks and bringing silence. Everyone saw that a guard had already rushed into the barracks on horseback, and they were in a hurry.

The galloping horse made its way through the crowd, rushed to a tent and raised its hooves to stop, and the guards turned over and dismounted, and plunged into Du Yan's tent and knelt down to report it.

"Tell the General! There is a change in the palace! Qiao Fengzhi committed a rebellion and held the queen and Mrs. Du hostage! The palace gate of Fengyi Palace was closed again, and no one could enter or exit! He sent a villain to inform you, and he said...... They said that if you don't give up the battle and surrender, the three of them will die! ”

"What?!" Du Yan's face changed drastically, he threw the wine bowl casually, grabbed the guard's collar, and his face was full of disbelief: "What did you just say?" Is this true? ”

The guard said in panic: "General Hui, this matter is true, Qiao Fengzhi has already controlled the palace, he, he is also reversed!" He also killed your subordinate Deng He with his own hands! ”

"it!" Du Yan shouted violently, and immediately reacted to something, and asked fiercely: "How can the lady and the prince be in the palace?!" ”

The guard was forced to tilt his head, and said with some difficulty: "General, I heard that this is what the queen mother meant, and the mother said that the war was near, and she was worried about the safety of her wife and the prince, so she asked Qiao Fengzhi to take them into the palace." ”

"Nonsense! This is obviously Qiao Fengzhi's false message! Du Yan ruthlessly loosened his collar and said as he walked out of the tent: "General Ben will send someone to lead the troops back to the palace, smash the door of Fengyi Palace, and capture Qiao Fengzhi alive!" ”

After hearing this, the guard suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly hugged his leg and persuaded: "Think twice, general! Qiao Fengzhi said, if the general wants to lead troops to attack him, don't say that you enter the door of Fengyi Palace, that is, you enter the door of the palace, he will not hesitate to kill the palace lady and lady. ”

Du Yan paused suddenly.

Yes, Qiao Fengzhi has a hostage in his hands, how can he, a general, be allowed to play the prestige of the past again.

Thinking about it, Du Yan paced slowly and said, "General Ben doesn't understand!" Why did Qiao Fengzhi do this? General Ben has surrendered, North Vietnam has been destroyed, what good is it for him? Besides, who is he, and how can he have the ability to control the palace? ”

The guard said truthfully: "The general is high and powerful, and he has a lot of opportunities, and he doesn't move around much in the harem, so he naturally doesn't know the chickens and dogs between the people." Thinking that Qiao Fengzhi, he has been lenient for many years, never stingy with money and helping people, so as to win people's hearts, the number of people in the palace who have received his favor is countless, and the various managers are also obedient to him, the palace ladies love him, the inner servants and guards are all obedient to him, what he wants to do, it is natural to respond. ”

Du Yan pondered for a while, his eyes became distant, and he sighed slowly: "Yes, not bad." From the first time General Ben saw him, he knew that he was not a thing in the pool, but if his sister wanted to lift him, no one could care. Now it seems that my sister has spent many years personally feeding a tiger, but she has suffered from it. My sister was really careless, thinking that she had the power in the palace, but in the end, she had already been intercepted by Qiao Fengzhi. ”

After finishing speaking, Du Yan added: "No wonder that Yao Duran is dead set on him." ”

"General, what are you going to do?"

Du Yan was silent for a long time, then exhaled lightly, sat down at the table, and said helplessly: "That's it, that's it, there are strong enemies outside that have not been cleared, and there is power to eunuchs and chaos inside, the general trend has gone, the general trend has gone." ”

As soon as the words fell, Du Yan slapped the table hard, and there seemed to be a determination in his strength: "Go!" Tell Qiao Fengzhi that Hugh wants to move my sister and wife and children, and this general will surrender! ”

"Yes, the villain will go back to the palace to spread the word."

"Wait!"

"What else does the general command?"

"After returning to the palace, tell Your Majesty to let him write a letter of surrender, lead the civil and military officials to the barracks, and go together to surrender to Prince Nanqian!"

……

In this way, the guards rushed all the way back to the palace with Du Yan's order and replied to Qiao Fengzhi. It's just that when it comes and goes, many things can't be hidden in the palace, and those who should know will always know that the chief steward under the queen's seat took advantage of the chaos.

Helplessly, chaos broke out, and no one had the ability to turn the tide.

Qiao Fengzhi and Yao Duran finally got a satisfactory answer from Du Yan, just waiting for their surrender to be decided.

And where to go from here, Qiao Fengzhi seems to have an idea. After sending off the guards who replied, he closed the door and stood in front of the window, looked at the sky outside the window with a long look, and instructed: "Ran'er, pack up your baggage, and when Du Yan returns, we will also leave the palace, and we will embark on a new journey together." ”

"Okay." Yao Duran agreed, and started to clean up, and the only thing she could take away was the set of love jade ornaments he sent.

Qiao Fengzhi saw her carefully packing jade ornaments, and he was obsessed with the beauty of his side face, he took a few steps closer and wrapped around her slender waist from behind, and asked, "Ran'er, don't you want to ask where we are going?" ”

Yao Duran turned around and stroked his chest, and smiled gently, like a wind and moon: "Fengzhi, I said, I believe in you, where you are in the future, I will follow you, why bother asking." ”

When Qiao Fengzhi heard this, his mind was turbulent, and bursts of warmth penetrated his limbs. He said word by word: "Okay, Dye'er, with your promise, I Qiao Fengzhi will definitely do everything I can to protect you for the rest of your life." ”

She smiled speechlessly, and her beautiful eyes were dyed with a sea of stars, shining brightly.

"Knock knock!"

A violent knock on the door suddenly sounded, interrupting the warmth of the room.

Both of them were startled, Qiao Fengzhi frowned and opened the door, and a slightly bulky figure rushed in. The two looked at each other, and it turned out to be the menacing Xie Yuanzhi.

It seemed that she had woken up from a dream for many things.

Sure enough, after Xie Yuanzhi came in, he raised his eyes and saw that Qiao Fengzhi and Yao Duran were there, and pointed at them and scolded angrily: "Qiao Fengzhi! You guys don't have a good thing for the dogs and men! Today, the queen mother collapsed inexplicably in front of this, and now you are reversed! No wonder you closed the palace gate and sent someone to guard it, in order to prevent Mrs. Ben from going out, and to use our mother and son to threaten the general's surrender! Also, you kept the death of the queen a secret, also in order to make more hostages of the queen so that she could threaten the general! You! You dog thief, let me go right now! ”

She scolded ugly, Qiao Fengzhi's demeanor was right, and she didn't get angry, but said lightly: "Madam is pregnant, don't be angry." As long as the lady obediently cooperates, after the general surrenders, our family will let you go, and after the general listens to the seal, the glory and wealth of the second half of the lady's life will still not change. ”

Xie Yuanzhi's pretty face turned red with anger, and asked, "Nonsense! The queen treated you well when she was alive, why did you do this? ”

"That's the way it should be." Yao Duran suddenly spoke, and Qiao Fengzhi and Xie Yuanzhi both looked at her.

Yao Duran stared at Xie Yuanzhi, and said clearly: "In the troubled times of North Vietnam, the monarch is incompetent, and the queen is unkind, but your Du family only takes power and does not make good use of it, so that there is misery everywhere and the people are not happy. Now that the people are angry, the whole world is fighting together, according to me, destroying the country is retribution, and it is only a matter of time! It's time for the scenery of your Du family to come to an end. ”

"What do you know,? Why do you preach to Mrs. Ben? Believe it or not, Lady Ben will break your mouth sooner or later! ”

Yao Duran saw that the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were fierce, and said coldly: "Sure enough, it is a person from the Du family, who is always so arrogant." Madame forgot? Now that you are hostage in our hands, life and death are no longer in your hands, we treat you politely to see that you are still pregnant, but if you are so entangled......"

Yao Duran dragged her voice, but a pair of beautiful eyes were circulating, staring at her stomach meaningfully.

Xie Yuanzhi received her threat, and immediately protected her stomach, only then did she realize that this was a different time, and she had to bow her head for the time being, thinking about it, she threw down a sentence fiercely: "You...... You will have retribution! ”

After saying that, she fled in a rage.

Who knew that she had only left on the front foot, and Fuquan knocked on the door with a panicked look on the back foot and came in, and said hurriedly: "Manager Qiao!" Your Majesty has come to Fengyi Palace, and he is slamming the door! ”

Yao Duran's heart sank slightly, and now that the main owner finally came forward, he didn't know how Qiao Fengzhi would send it. Thinking about it, he also looked at Qiao Fengzhi beside him, but saw that he was calm and walked out unhurriedly, Yao Duran and Fuquan hurriedly followed.

Before they arrived at the palace gate, they had already heard the rumbling sound of slamming the door, one louder than the other. Inside the door, a team of guards guarding the door also showed a look of unease.

When everyone saw Qiao Fengzhi coming, they regained a little vigor and confidence.

Qiao Fengzhi instructed Fuquan as he walked: "Go to the side hall to see Mrs. Du, don't let her come out and make trouble." ”

Fuquan agreed.

Qiao Fengzhi came to the palace gate and stood still, and shouted from the other door: "Your Majesty! Why is it difficult for you to enter this Fengyi Palace? You don't have to bother slamming the door, if you really dare to enter, the slave will naturally dare to let go, but Your Majesty has to think about it. ”

The words fell, and the noise outside fell silent. Then came Xiahou Bo's angry voice: "Qiao Fengzhi! You are a chaotic minister and thief, you dare to blackmail the general, betray the country! You'd better quickly let the queen go and wait for them, and then be caught! ”

Qiao Fengzhi smiled coldly, and said sarcastically: "Is Your Majesty so greedy for the throne?" Du Yan will be threatened to fight for his wife and children, but His Majesty only has the throne in his eyes, and there is no danger to the safety of his relatives. It's been so many years, and it's the first time that the minion has seen you so brave, in order to keep the throne, and for Du Yan to continue to fight the enemy for you, he actually came to hit the stone with an egg. ”

"Qiao Fengzhi, I know that I can't compete with you! But you have already offended Du Yan, even if you are proud at this time, what will happen in the future? If you are interested, stop immediately, and I and Du Yan will spare your life! ”

"Huh!" Qiao Fengzhi sneered, and said leisurely: "Your Majesty, don't make any more senseless resistance." The slave advises you again, you better leave quickly and surrender as soon as possible with Du Yan and the others. Otherwise, today's slaves will open this door and catch you, and if you don't go out of the city and surrender at that time, the prince of Nanqian will think that you have not surrendered, how can you kill the king at that time? Your Majesty had better understand that staying in the green mountains is not afraid of running out of firewood.
