Chapter Ninety-Nine: Zhong Shan's Sword Shadow
Zhao Zheng took Zhou Nuying out of the city in a hurry, this little beauty insisted on going in person, Zhao Zheng was not easy to refuse, and Cheng DΓΉ could also prove that this move was not a trap.
Li Yuan was very uneasy and wanted to send the forbidden army to accompany him, but Zhao Zheng refused, and only brought a dozen people to travel lightly. After all, it is on the ground in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the movement is too big and inappropriate, which is easy to cause misunderstanding. More than a dozen subordinates are all first-class masters, and they can quickly evacuate in case of a situation, and it is not difficult to retreat with their whole body.
Although Zhou Nuying claimed to have reported to Empress Zhong, Zhao Zheng, for the sake of prudence, still sent someone to inform Han Xizai and asked him to tell Li Jing and his wife. In this way, he is not afraid of being a trap, if Li Congjia is boring and mischievous, I am afraid that Li Jing should be angry.
As for the danger, it is possible. But Empress Zhong and Han Xizai got the news and would definitely send reinforcements, but they were not worried. It was based on such considerations that Zhao Zheng dared to go boldly.
When I went out of the city, I happened to see Huangfu Jixun, who was rectifying the city defense, and his expression looked nervous. Li Jing has already started to act? When Zhao Zheng was puzzled, Li Yuan said unexpectedly: "It's strange, other places are still quiet, why is the atmosphere in Dongcheng so tense?" β
"What?" Zhao Zheng was suddenly startled and asked, "Only Dongcheng is like this?" β
"Yes, my subordinates have been watching the situation in the city and have not seen anything unusual. At present, only here is the atmosphere solemn, and the guards have been strengthened. β
Hearing Li Yuan's answer, Zhao Zheng thought for a moment and said in a low voice: "This is Huangfu Jixun's defense area, he controls at least twenty percent of the defenders of Jinling, so he has to defend it!" β
Zhou Nuying didn't have a good impression of the Huangfu family, and when she heard Zhao Zheng's words, she seemed to understand the meaning, and her little face was a little surprised.
Li Yuan said in a low voice: "What does Shaoqing mean?" β
"You take a few people to sue Han Xizai, he knows what to do!"
"But ......" Li Yuan was a little worried, there were few people around Zhao Zheng, and the safety issue was even more worrying. As a personal guard, he was inevitably a little uneasy.
Zhao Zheng smiled: "Go, it's okay, what's the difference between a few more or a few less?" β
Seeing Zhao Zheng's firm tone, Li Yuan had no choice but to say: "Shaoqing be careful!" β
"Hmm!"
"Miss Nuying, let them send you back, otherwise Lord Lingtang should be worried again." Zhao Zheng thought about it and comforted Zhou Nuying again.
"No, I'm worried about my sister, don't worry if I don't go to see it." Zhou Nuying was resolute, worried that her sister was right, but she had other thoughts in her heart, it was rare to be with her big brother, or to ride together, where could she retreat?
"Alas!" Zhao Zheng sighed helplessly, turned around and said, "Take a trip to Zhou Situ's mansion and inform Mrs. Zhou, just say that I will bring her daughter back safely." β
"Thank you, big brother!" Zhou Nuying suddenly blossomed, and always felt that Zhao Zheng was there, the sky was blue, and there was no anxiety.
Zhao Zheng didn't know how to react, Xiao Zhouhou said that he should be happy, but the future is unknown...... His heart is all on Emperor Zhou E.
β¦β¦
Zhou Ehuang chased all the way, but after all, he was still a step too late.
Li Congjia was so excited when she heard the news that Huang Shuting was pregnant, and she couldn't wait to fly to her side immediately. In the past, he went to Zhongshan by carriage, but today he rode directly to Zhongshan, which shows how urgent his mood is.
It had been a while since Emperor Zhou E went out of the city to catch up, not to mention that she was riding in a carriage, even if she kept urging the coachman, she was still not as fast as the horse.
It was Zhongshan in sight, not far from the palace, and Li Congjia was still missing, and when he was in a hurry, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves behind him.
When he looked back and saw Zhao Zheng and his sister, Zhou Ehuang looked surprised and said in amazement: "Why are you here?" β
Zhou Nuying hurriedly said: "Sister, you are in such a hurry to get out of the city, I am very worried, and I found a big brother to help!" β
"Why is the princess in a hurry to go out?"
When the two met, it was inevitable that they would be a little embarrassed, Zhao Zheng hesitated for a moment before asking. Zhou Ehuang's expression was also a little unnatural, and she didn't know how to face Zhao Zheng. She came for her husband, but she was ** at the man in front of her, and now he hurried here for himself......
Emperor Zhou E's mood was a little complicated, and Mu Ne said: "King Wu suddenly went out of the city, I am afraid that there is danger, I am not at ease, so I came to take a look." β
In addition to worrying about her husband's safety, why don't you have the intention of "catching/raping"? She is not a jealous woman, and she doesn't mind that her husband has other women, she just wants to see what kind of woman her husband cares about and where she loses. Even she didn't even know what she said or what her expression was when she saw her husband's woman.
Just a simple and vague idea, I hurried on the road......
Zhao Zheng said: "Princess, if you don't give up, you are willing to go and see, and your Royal Highness King Wu is safe." As for the princess and the young girl, they should return to the city, or wait for news here...... If there is any danger, you two can't help, but ...... If it's okay, how about the two of you go up the mountain again? β
"This ......" Emperor Zhou E hesitated a little, in this way, wouldn't the purpose of this trip be frustrated? But at this moment, there was a faint sound of swords striking in the Zhongshan Palace not far ahead. Zhao Zheng has profound martial arts and excellent ear power, and was the first to discover. Immediately afterwards, the men who had been sent to explore the path also returned and reported the anomaly.
Is there a fight in the Zhongshan Palace? Zhou Ehuang's heart jumped to his throat, if there is a problem, will her husband be in danger? I couldn't help but worry.
Zhao Zheng's expression was awe-inspiring, and he said in an unquestionable tone: "You stay here, find a safe place and hide, I'll take a look!" β
Zhao Zheng gave an order, and hurriedly went to the Zhongshan Palace with a few forbidden army masters. The guards of King Wu's Mansion were guarding the sisters of Emperor Zhou E and preparing to avoid them. I didn't want Emperor Zhou E and Zhou Nuying to look at the back of Zhao Zheng leaving, and they both refused to avoid it, and stayed on the side of the road, their hearts full of worry.
Worry about one man, or worry about two men, or just a ......
β¦β¦
There was indeed a fight in Zhongshan Palace, and when Li Congjia rushed over from the out-of-sight, it was not Huang Shuting's smiling face that was waiting for him, but a cold sword.
Li Congjia looked at his cousin and said in amazement: "Congqing, what are you doing here?" β
"Hmph, it seems that the sixth brother is really a lover, for this woman, he really came!" Li Congqing sneered.
Huang Shuting shouted: "Your Highness, go quickly, he wants to murder you!" β
"Congqing, what are you going to do?" Li Congjiawu was confused, and his sense of crisis did not seem to be strong, so he did not flee immediately.
"What for?" Li Congqing sneered: "Of course, it is to save the Tang Kingdom and save the ancestral foundation......"
"You ......" Li Congjia seemed to realize something.
Li Congqing sneered: "Your father is cowardly and afraid of the Song Dynasty, and the excellent opportunity to recover the fourteen states of Jiangbei must be given up." And you, who are about to move to the East Palace tomorrow, are you going to be the crown prince of the Tang Kingdom? But if you look at your appearance, what does it look like a prince? A man who only knows how to drink and have fun, recite poems and fill in lyrics, and are nostalgic for the pile of fat powder, counting on you to revive the Tang Kingdom? β
"Congqing, you ......" Li Congjia has already figured out the reason, otherwise he would have been born in the emperor's house for so many years. I just wanted to say something, but I couldn't open my mouth. Li Congqing's words seemed to hit the nail on the head, and he was speechless.
"Sixth brother, don't worry, I won't harm you." Li Congqing said in a deep voice: "Today's words are not to blame you, just to remind the sixth brother how to be a good emperor tomorrow." β
"Tomorrow...... What did you say? What are you going to do? Li Congjia was really shocked this time.
"Sixth brother, don't be impatient, I won't hurt you, just wait quietly with your little beauty." Li Congqing's yin and yang are weird, which makes people shudder.
"You want to be beautiful!" Li Congjia made a rare decision, and immediately asked the guards to escort him to escape. As for Huang Shuting, she really can't take care of it at the moment.
finally got Li Congjia, he was a crucial bargaining chip, how could he let him slip away? As a result, a conflict broke out between Li Congjia's subordinates and the guards of the palace......
In normal times, there are people in the palace who use knives and guns, and no one knows at all. Coincidentally, when the sound of swords intersecting came, Zhao Zheng, Zhou Ehuang and others happened to be outside the palace wall under the mountain.
