"In that year, General Chen Guangqi repelled the Champa army with only 5,000 volunteers, which was a great meritorious service. When he returned to the court, His Majesty did reward him with a lot of treasures, but at the same time, he gave General Chen a quiet official, in other words, His Majesty did not let General Chen control the military power. ”

Alan didn't know about this, she couldn't help frowning and interrupted Xu Qingyan, "Wait...... Why did Your Majesty do this? If it is said that he is small-minded, he does not want General Chen to threaten his throne...... This doesn't make sense! General Chen doesn't have many soldiers on his hands, so wouldn't it be okay not to promote him? ”

"I don't know." Xu Qingyan glanced at Alan and took a sip of tea to moisten his throat. Alan felt that his gaze seemed to be a little resentful, but he didn't think much about it, and continued to listen carefully, "A few years later, the Ailao Kingdom came to invade again, and it was His Majesty who used General Chen again. As a result of that battle, although the Ailao Kingdom retreated, my Dayue Wangshi did not win, and there were only more than 1,000 people left in the army of 10,000 people. ”

"General Chen is defeated?"

"Perhaps. But that battle was really strange. It is said that General Chen was ambushed, and he did not lose many people, but they retreated. After General Chen returned to the court, His Majesty was furious, and the court reprimanded him with a cane and demoted him to the navy to be a small general. ”

Alan said a little strangely: "The rod is also blamed, and the debasement is also degraded, I don't know why Your Majesty wants to kill him this time?" ”

"After the demotion of the navy, General Chen Guangqi did not complain, but worked hard to fulfill his duties, and as a result, he was promoted because of his merits and became the deputy commander of the navy, but this time in the battle of Baitengjiang, our army was defeated, and our Dayue Navy was wiped out, and the commander-in-chief of the navy, General Ruan Kuai, Chen Guozan, Chen Qingyu, and Chen Xiu all died, but only General Chen Guangqi survived, and fled ashore to Beijing, because His Majesty was furious, regardless of his status as a clan noble, and he wanted to be beheaded."

"Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, what happened to him alive, isn't it bad to escape from the enemy's sword? Do you have to die to be a loyal minister? Who is going to kill the enemy and protect the country when they are all dead? Is Your Majesty confused? Alan couldn't help but say in an atmosphere, "The general who came back from nine deaths will be beheaded, who will serve His Majesty in the future?" ”

Listening to such rebellious words, Xu Qingyan just blinked, got up and walked to the window, looking out of the inn.

Amano is as dark as ink, the stars and the moon are hidden, and the few rays of light in the dark night come from the houses. The wind north of Chengguan advanced through the city with a piercing sound, and there was a silent desolation in Thang Long City at night.

The candle on the table was still burning, and the wind pouring in from the window dimmed the fire, and Alain shivered and shivered to leave. When she was leaving, she saw Xu Qingyan standing in front of the window in thin clothes, and she couldn't help reminding, "After a day's journey, let's rest." ”

Xu Qingyan bowed slightly, still standing in front of the window with his hands in his hands, half of his face hidden in the firelight, gilding his hat with a layer of gold, but there was no light in his black pupils.

Alain, who was lying down in his clothes, remembered that the young man and Chen Guangqi would be beheaded tomorrow, her heart was disturbed, and she couldn't sleep for a while, she tried to think about what Chen Jinghao would do if she was here, and she still couldn't think of a reason, and then she realized that she didn't know Chen Jinghao very well, although she had been in love with him for a long time.

And she didn't know that after dawn, something unexpected would happen.

Early the next morning, Da Yue Palace.

A person hurriedly walked into the palace, clasped his fists and saluted, his face was unconcealed anxiety, "Your Majesty! Chen Guangqi was robbed from the prison! ”

Chen Huang, the emperor of the Great Yue Kingdom on the throne, coughed lightly, his face was flat, and he was not surprised by the words of the people under the ranks, "I asked the prince of Xingding to go." ”

"What?" The visitor took a sharp step forward, his voice sharpened with emotion.

"Bold!" The guards on either side drew their swords at the sound.

The visitor's face was slightly pale, and he also realized his disrespect, and hurriedly took a few steps back and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, I don't understand, why did you give Chen Guangqi to ...... What about it? ”

Chen Huang closed his eyes, raised his hand and squeezed it lightly in the center of his eyebrows, "General Chen...... It's that I can't stand him. ”

The person's expression changed suddenly, and he looked up at Chen Huang in disbelief, and he couldn't say a complete sentence in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty ......"

"General Qin, get up." Chen Huang let out a long sigh, and the wrinkles between his eyebrows were like a river, lining him to get older and older, "Da Yue Guo...... Da Yue Kingdom...... I used to think that General Chen was the real general of my Dayue Kingdom. Today's soldiers and horses of the Great Yue Kingdom are all in the hands of Taishi...... Qin Cen, you and your soldiers and horses are majestic in Thang Long City. ”

Chen Huang's tone was calm, but Qin Cen was shocked by his smiling gaze, his body that had just straightened up was soft again, and he fell to the ground with a "snap", and the menacing and bullying General Qin's funny appearance at the moment was seen by the guards, and his face turned red with laughter. Qin Cen, who was sitting on the ground, didn't have time to entangle with them, his mind was a mess, and he always felt that something was wrong.

He is the confidant of Chen Guojun, the prince of the country, and the emperor has always valued himself, what is wrong with him today?

Something must be wrong...... He suddenly raised his eyes, met Chen Huang's bright eyes, and something flashed in his mind—is this still the emperor? How could the emperor who didn't ask about the government, indulged in wine, and was weak and decadent have such shrewd eyes? Qin Cen turned the clouds and rain in Thang Long City, and his evil deeds have long been a household name, if the emperor has the heart to punish crimes, why wait until this time?

"Look like you're surprised?" Chen Huang chuckled, with undisguised mockery in his eyes, he stood up, squinted his eyes and spit out the turbidity in his chest, "The country is going to die, I don't want to act in this drama anymore, this nest is really embarrassing for you loyal ministers!" Someone—"

Qin Cen was shocked, trembling and bowing down, struggling to crawl towards the emperor, his constantly arched body like a wriggling worm. The emperor did not give the order for a long time, Qin Cen thought that he had gained life, and reached out to grab the corner of the emperor's robe under great joy, but before his hand touched the slightest bit, the sound of metal friction sounded in his ears, and the wind struck.

"Poof!" The well-maintained hand was stabbed through the air by the sword, bringing out a series of blood foam.

"Ahh -" Qin Cen let out a piercing exclamation.

"Take Qin Cen down to me, and kill him immediately!"

In the sky, everything that happened in Thang Long City, Sun Hui could see it all.

"Hehe, it's a little interesting, it seems that this Chen Huang is not a straw bag, but it is taboo to change generals in battle, he is so whole, will Chen Guojun still work hard for him? …… No, history has changed...... Forget it, no matter what, just add a little bit of difficulty to that old boy from Gundam. He said to himself.
