I waited for two days.

There is still no news of King Zhao outside.

It's like King Zhao, he doesn't want to be the other at all.

In this way, the tense atmosphere in the palace has diluted a little, but the rebels outside will always appear in the distance in twos and threes to observe the movements in the palace.

Only these actions proved that King Zhao had rebelled, but he did not directly lead his troops to fight head-on.

And yet all this ......

It was all as Chen Kaizhi and Mu Xu expected.

King Zhao was not in a hurry to attack, or rather, he had no desire to attack at all.

This made Mu Xu a little anxious, in fact, many forbidden troops were indeed anxious to the extreme, but fortunately, the warrior camp was quite stable, after all, after usual practice, the patience cultivated was enough.

Chen Kaizhi stayed in the city tower.

In the evening, standing on the city wall and watching the sunset in the west, the red glow reflected the whole sky, he squinted and watched, as if he had been thinking about something in his heart.

In the distance, there are new towers, which the rebels use to look, and it seems that they are also preparing to build catapults.

At this moment, it is particularly conspicuous under the red sunset.

It's a pity that Chen Kaizhi didn't bring the artillery, in fact, Feiyu Peak had already begun to evacuate, and everyone on the mountain urgently took a boat, went down the water, and headed for Jibei.

The reason why Chen Kaizhi did not carry artillery was that it was inconvenient, and secondly, shooting outside in this palace city was tantamount to the houses and people in the distance where the muzzle of the gun was targeted.

If a cannon fired, what a tragic situation would be, hundreds of people were displaced overnight, blood flowed like a river, he didn't want to hurt the innocent, let alone be a murderous person.

But now, if it drags on any longer, it will be too late.

Chen Kaizhi looked extremely calm, but behind the calmness, there was a little anxiety.

"What is the Lord Protector thinking?"

Behind him, a voice said.

The voice was both familiar and unfamiliar.

Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but look back, but saw that Chen Wuji had already climbed the city wall at some point, he was wearing a shawl, it seemed that the confinement of these days had not made him suffer anything, he was still radiant, his face was clear and good-looking.

Chen Kaizhi couldn't help laughing, and Chen Wuji was indeed released.

"Nothing, Your Highness...... Good. Chen Kaizhi said calmly.

Chen Wuji bowed slightly to him, as if he was unwilling to accept the word His Highness, and then said: "I was thinking, the protector of the country has a lot of things to worry about, and there are only two things to worry about, one is the rebels outside the city, and the other is me. ”

"Huh?" Chen Kaizhi smiled: "Because of His Highness? ”

Chen Wuji stood side by side with Chen Kaizhi in front of the female wall, patting the cold and piercing wall battlements with his hand, but he didn't realize it, and then said.

"Yes, you must be thinking, why did I become the prince, why did the empress dowager bring me here, we have parted from Jinling for many years, at that time, it was really nostalgic."

His eyes began to become lonely, and his complexion was tinged with a hint of melancholy.

"And now that we meet, our two brothers have become strangers, but they are still familiar with each other, this may be the will of heaven to make people, I will tell you your questions." He looked sideways and looked at Chen Kaizhi seriously, his eyes were no longer bottomless, and he became sincere: "When the rebellion is over, I will tell you the truth of everything, because ...... In this world, I can have reservations for anyone, but for you......"

He thought for a while, and then said: "Because I live in this world, I have been blinded by others, bullied, endured the unbearable pain of ordinary people, and have enjoyed the wealth of the world, but these, whether they are unhappy and happy, or happy or sad, are actually ...... For me, it doesn't matter, my only memory so far is the days when I was in Jinling, in that grass hut, and I depended on you for my life. ”

His eyes were red as he spoke, but the corners of his mouth were still smiling.

"Only then did I clearly know that I was alive and well, and only these memories could make me feel calm, joyful and sad, and realize that I was flesh and blood."

Belch......

Looking at this bright young man, this fair-skinned person with a handsome and chic appearance, saying such things to himself, Chen Kaizhi suddenly had an illusion,, is this no different from Ji Ji.

He suddenly embarrassed and sighed deeply: "Then solve the current trouble." ”

Chen Wuji nodded, maybe if he knew what Chen Kaizhi was thinking at the moment, he was afraid that he would want to strangle Chen Kaizhi to death directly, but he smiled slightly: "The military horses outside the city are flourishing, if they can't cut through the mess quickly, I'm afraid that there will be big trouble, so within five days, we must defeat the enemy, is there a way to protect the country?" ”

Chen Kaizhi laughed: "If we go out of the palace to find the rebels for a decisive battle, we are afraid that the rebels will take this opportunity to attack the palace, if we lose the palace, then even if we can get away with annihilating most of the rebels, it will be meaningless." ”

"So......" Chen Kaizhi gripped the hilt of the sword on his waist fiercely, the only way was to take risks.

"Adventure?" Chen Wuji looked at Chen Kaizhi.

Chen Kaizhi said: "There is only one thing to borrow from the Empress Dowager." ”

"What's that?"

Chen Kaizhi said: "Tomorrow, you will know." ”

When the words fell, both of them were speechless, and they raised their eyes together to look at the sunset on the horizon, the red sunset was particularly dazzling, and the whole world was exceptionally beautiful for a while, as if at this moment, time had also frozen.

Early the next morning, Chen Kaizhi hurried to the Wanshou Palace.

In the Wanshou Palace, the Empress Dowager came out of the dormitory and watched several female officials kicking and bowing in the vestibule, smiling from time to time.

It seems that the Empress Dowager doesn't care about what's going on outside, and she is really calm and terrifying.

She saw Chen Kaizhi coming, and then, Chen Wuji also walked in.

The Empress Dowager raised her eyes to look at him, and asked, "Why, Kaizhi, what are you doing here if you don't guard the city?" ”

Chen Kaizhi saluted, and saw that the Empress Dowager Mu was sitting under the eaves worriedly, although she was barely smiling, but obviously watching this female official playing, she couldn't laugh.

At this time, apart from anxiety, there is really no other expression.

Chen Kaizhi said: "Does the mother know about the situation outside the palace?" ”

The Empress Dowager got up, and some eunuchs were busy supporting her, and she said: "How could the mourning family not know it, King Zhao has never come to attack the palace, so it can be seen that he must have other plans." ”

Chen Kaizhi nodded heavily, and said with a straight face: "If the minister can't win in one battle, then, trapped here, the minister thinks that if he continues to delay, he will definitely die." ”

"That's right." The Empress Dowager smiled and said: "The mourning family has always been worried, don't look at the mourning family as if there is nothing on their faces, but thinking of the ancestor Sheji, falling into the hands of King Zhao and others, they will be unable to sleep, hey, what about the mourning family, can you panic?" Don't panic, the sky is falling, the mourning family has to hold on, at this time, the mourning family will pin their hopes on you, now the situation is getting worse and worse, we orphans and widows, stay in the palace, sooner or later we will be in a different place. ”

As she spoke, she stood up, her skirt swaying in the wind, but she looked quite old.

She stared at Chen Kaizhi and said word by word.

"The national disaster thinks of the good general, the mourning family puts hope on you, you are famous, mourning your family, etc., can be regarded as being able to turn danger into relief, but if you are unfortunate and miserable, mourning your family, etc., you can only thank Sheji with death. Tell me, what are you going to do? ”

Chen Kaizhi stared at the Empress Dowager: "The only way is to force King Zhao to fight a decisive battle outside the palace!" ”

The Empress Dowager nodded: "What you said is right, it's just that King Zhao's rebel son, time is there, how can he be willing to fight?" ”

"So ......" Chen Kaizhi said: "The minister came here and wanted to borrow something from the Empress Dowager." ”

"Say it." The Empress Dowager squinted and looked at Chen Kaizhi.

Chen Kai said word by word: "Your Majesty! ”

As soon as the word "Your Majesty" came out, almost everyone was moved.

"Only Your Majesty can force King Zhao to fight to the death, so I beg Niangniang's permission to move the palace gate."

The Empress Dowager took a deep breath, even she had to admire, Chen Kaizhi is bold enough, to put it bluntly, this is a thing that is frowned upon by the world, once Chen Kaizhi does this, he is only afraid of ......

She pondered for a long time before she sighed deeply: "Then you can do it." ”

Chen Kaizhi knew that the Empress Dowager seemed to have made up her mind, so she clasped her hands: "The minister obeys the order." ”

Out of the Wanshou Palace, Chen Wuji also followed, and outside this palace, there were already a few guards who came with Chen Kai, waiting outside, Chen Kai said: "Go to Qianning Palace!" ”

Everyone no longer hesitated, pressed their knives one by one, all the way to Qianning Palace, and the eunuchs here were terrified when they saw it.

Chen Kaizhi was struggling with his head held high, not looking at them, and when he arrived at the dormitory, he saw that the little emperor was losing his temper at this time.

Several eunuchs knelt at his feet, although the little emperor was young, he showed a look of resentment, as if something on the ground had been smashed, it was a mess, and the little emperor was about to roar: "I will never tolerate that dog thief." ”

But when he looked up, he saw that at this porch, several huge burly shadows appeared, and Chen Kaizhi stared at him deadly: "Come on, please move your majesty." ”

The eunuchs looked at each other one by one, not daring to make a sound.

A bold eunuch said, "Protector of the country...... Protector, you ...... Do you know what you mean, ......?"

Chen Kaizhi said sharply: "I repeat, please move your majesty to Zhengdingmen!" ”

The eunuch's frightened face was like earth, and he was busy hanging his head.

The guards brought by Chen Kaizhi didn't dare to make any moves, after all, they knew very well that no matter what they said, the emperor was the emperor after all, and if he did anything excessive today, who knew what would happen tomorrow.

The little emperor was stunned for a moment, and then shouted: "I can't go, you are traitors, rebellious ministers and thieves, everyone will be punished, you dare?" ”
