Chapter 753: Strong Arms
Because of Dian Wei's passion, the atmosphere in the hall seemed a little tense.
Zhao Yun hurriedly scolded: "Dian Wei, calm down!" β
"How to calm down?" Dian Wei yelled excitedly, the blue tendons on his yellow face were exposed, and his thick arms twisted Zhang Jing's collar, almost lifting it up. "He's back, and the lord is dead? How do you calm me down, why didn't he die and the lord came back? β
At this time, no one could suppress Dian Wei's feelings, Zhang Jing did not resist, did not argue, his face was calm, and he let Dian Wei vent.
Of course, Xu Shu couldn't let it go on, took a deep breath, stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Dian Wei, if you still agree with your lord and me, the housewife, then no matter what, let Zhang Jing finish his words first!" β
"Huh!" With a heavy wave of resentment, Dian Wei finally let go of Zhang Jing and turned around and walked back to his position.
"Zhang Jing, you and I will have no brotherly love in the future!"
Dian Wei was a very affectionate person, and this was the first time such words came out of his mouth, which showed how sad and disappointed he was in his heart.
Zhang Jing opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say, he could only choose to be silent, before he came back, he had already expected that for a long time in the future, he would live in the misunderstanding of everyone, he would be blamed by many people, and he would be despised by many people.
But in the face of the contemptuous gaze of the ministers in the palace, his heart was very uncomfortable.
Fortunately, Xu Shu spoke in time and relieved him. "Zhang Jing, I think you will give you an explanation!"
"Queen! The defeat of Wuyin involves some people defecting to the enemy, and it is inconvenient to talk about it in public here. The last general wanted to talk to the queen alone. also brought the last words of the king of Chu! Zhang Jing stared at Xu Shu and said.
In fact, Xu Shu also became suspicious of Zhang Jing at this moment. Although she didn't dare to confirm it, she did have it in her heart, and even had a lot of conjectures about her wanting to talk to her alone.
But she is not afraid, because in the palace of the king of Chu, even if Zhang Jing has bad intentions, he must not hurt her.
Xu Shu looked at Zhang Jing deeply for a long time before nodding coldly: "Okay." That's what you want! β
"Queen, please allow the last general to accompany you!" Zhao Yun was delicate, and he also thought of many possibilities, so he immediately got up and asked for his life.
"Not necessarily!" Xu Shu waved her hand, very calmly.
"Queen, the last general ......"
Before Zhao Yun finished speaking this time, Xu Shu had already interrupted: "General Zhao, rest assured, in this Chu Palace, you will always be safe." β
After speaking, without waiting for anyone to answer, she had already taken the lead towards the side door. Go out of the temple.
"Zhang Jing, I'll wait for you behind the palace!"
Zhang Jing gritted his teeth. bowed to the ministers in the hall, then turned around and walked out of the main hall door.
Xu Shu didn't wait long in the apse, Zhang Jing hurried over, heard the footsteps from far and near, and then turned his back to him and said leisurely: "Zhang Jing, there is no one here, between you and me, there is no need to say those false words, I think you should really give me an explanation." β
Zhang Jing was actually aggrieved a long time ago, and when he faced Xu Shu alone at this time, he didn't have to think about anything at all, and immediately said with a wry smile: "Sister-in-law! What a great wronged I am! β
"You didn't fight alongside him, or were you not together at the time? If you're honest, maybe I'll forgive you instead. Xu Shu said lightly, slowly turning around, and the long skirt of the dress was wrapped in layers on the ground.
"I don't ask you to save him even if you know you will die, but I want to hear you tell the truth, you should know, I will know the details of that battle sooner or later, if you lie to me, don't blame me for not remembering the friendship of friends for many years!"
"Alas! Sister-in-law, you really wronged me, boss, he didn't die at all! Zhang Jing's face was about to twist into a ball at this time, and he was really miserable.
"And where is he now?" Xu Shu was not in a hurry to get excited, but was very calm, because she was not sure whether Zhang Jing had any problems now.
"It's on the shore of Shili Lake in the north of the city, he asked me to come back to you first, saying that he wanted to see you before Wang Zheng succeeded to the throne, and it was a one-time meeting, and there must be no outsiders!"
"Then why didn't he come? Why don't you come to me yourself? How can I trust your words? β
"He can't show his face because there's a plan!" Zhang Jing was a little anxious, he didn't expect that trust had been lost to this kind of Cheng dΓΉ.
This time, Xu Shu was also silent for a few breaths, but then shook her head: "Not convincing enough, I can't believe you!" β
"Sister-in-law, do you think I'm going to hurt you?" Zhang Jing's eyes widened.
"No, I just can't believe your words!" Xu Shu said lightly.
"God, what the hell is going on? How did it get to this point? Zhang Jing never expected this problem to happen, and it was a little unbelievable.
Xu Shu's voice was still cold, and there was indescribable tiredness, but she still said sincerely: "I'm sorry, I was also forced, even the old ministers who have served for many years have begun to disobey orders, and they are suspicious of each other, what else can I do?" There is no choice, just because you can't afford the consequences! β
"Then how can you trust me?"
"I don't know, you need to come up with enough evidence for this!"
"Whew!" Zhang Jing exhaled a breath of turbidity, which was really uncomfortable, but now he couldn't think of any good way to prove it, so he hesitated for a long time before sighing: "I'm not afraid of crooked shadows, so be it!" Sister-in-law, give me a poison, I'll eat it and then take you, how about it? β
"Would you like to?"
"What is there to be willing or not, I don't know what happened, sister-in-law, you are so suspicious of everyone now, but I haven't done anything wrong, what are you afraid of, it's just that sister-in-law don't take it as an incurable poison, I don't want to die so unjustly."
Xu Shu paused for a moment, then nodded: "This reason is indeed enough!" However, I still have to bring a single one! β
"Spy Commander Shan Huai?" Zhang Jing was stunned for a moment, and then cried bitterly: "Sister-in-law, don't you fully believe me when you eat poison?" The lord said that he would see you alone! β
"Shan Huai can be trusted, if he really has any plans, no matter what the reason, someone always needs to carry it out, I want Shan Huai to go, he will definitely not object." Xu Shu stared at Zhang Jing's eyes and said.
Zhang Jing lowered his head and thought about it, considering Wang Xu's intentions, plus Shan Huai is an extremely special person. Only then did he nod and said, "Okay! Let's hurry up. I was delayed for almost an hour on my way here. The boss said that it would be within two and a half hours, before Wang Zheng succeeded to the throne in the afternoon! β
Fortunately, Zhang Jing is straightforward and heroic, quite chivalrous, and if he is someone else, he may not be able to do it so quickly.
It's just that Xu Shu can't be blamed for this, with her current situation, anyone in this position is like a knife mountain. Zhang Jing suddenly came back alone at this time, and it was strange not to suspect it. The two communicated for so long, but Xu Shu even guessed the information that Wang Xu was not dead a long time ago, and did not reveal anything to Zhang Jing, which shows how vigilant she is.
She was really afraid that Zhang Jing would choose to turn her back on her in a desperate situation!
Zhang Jing resolutely took the poison, and Xu Shu certainly had no reason not to believe it, so he ordered the ministers and instructed them to follow the original process.
She herself used the important information that Zhang Jing brought back to Cao Jun as an excuse, and said that she would summon the spy commander. Inquire about verification.
None of the ministers objected to this. Although the succession is important, Cao Jun is a knife that presses on everyone's heads, and the importance is obvious.
Zhang Jing used her own efforts and concessions to win Xu Shu's trust, in order to cooperate with the secrecy, although she didn't understand, but she still did a good job, not only quickly summoned Shan Huai in the North Palace Qinzheng Palace, and then never left the palace again.
Of course, these are what the palace maids, female officials, guards, civil and military personnel see, in fact, after entering the Qinzheng Palace, Xu Shu was then put into a huge box by Shan Huai and secretly left the palace.
The speed of the carriage was very fast, and it was driven by Shan Huai himself pretending to be a groom, and there were only two people in the car, Zhang Jing and Xu Shu.
There was nothing to say all the way, Xu Shu sat quietly in the carriage with excitement, but her hand was on the Mo Evil Sword beside her all the time.
I don't know how long it took, Shan Huai suddenly exclaimed in a suppressed voice outside the car: "Queen, it's the lord, it's really the lord!" β
"Whew!"
In an instant, Xu Shu exhaled a breath of turbidity that had been suppressed for an unknown amount of time, as if the whole person was light, and even the body felt a little soft, as if the temperament of the whole person had changed, and the cold-blooded, suspicious, and cruel soul seemed to be gradually leaving the body.
"Shan Huai, confirm your identity!"
"No!"
Shan Huai answered outside the car, then jumped out of the carriage and strode towards Wang Xu, who was smiling, his hand always pressed the saber at his waist, and his eyes were fixed on Wang Xu's face. He has plenty of experience and discernment, and with careful observation, he has absolute confidence that he can discern any disguise.
So, just a moment later, all his vigilance vanished, and was completely replaced by surprise.
"Lord, you are still alive!"
"Hahaha......"
Wang Xu kept smiling, and when he saw Shan Huai's excited appearance, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Luck is not bad, I got away with it!" β
"Great, that's great!"
Shan Huai, the cold-blooded killing god, was so excited that he burst into tears, and he didn't care to say more, so he turned his head to the carriage and shouted softly at the first time: "Queen, it's the lord, it's our king!" β
In fact, as early as when Wang Xu spoke, Xu Shu was already trembling, the voice was too familiar to her, and when Shan Huai returned, she was already lifting the curtain of the carriage in an arrow step.
Looking at the haggard woman standing in the carriage and seeing the weak and helpless body, Wang Xu's heart shook fiercely.
"Urbane!"
With this light call, Xu Shu's sallow and cold face gradually opened, like ripples on the calm water, the coldness and cruelty at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows completely disappeared, a touch of gentleness, a smile, and a touch of beauty that should have belonged to her daughter's family reappeared.
"You're home?"
"Yes! It's back! β
"I boil a pot of chicken and mushroom stew every day!"
"And is there any more today?"
"Yes, as long as you want to eat, you will always have it!"
"Urbane ......"
Xu Shu's tears could no longer be controlled, like an out-of-control river embankment, pouring down, she flew in the air, jumped out of the carriage, and rushed to Wang Xu like a wild horse, even if it was wrapped up in a long dress, it could not limit its dexterous figure, at that moment, like a fairy who had fallen into the world, her clothes were flying, the green silk was fluttering, and she was beautiful.
Wang Xu opened his arms, he knew that at this moment, this woman needed his strong arms and a ...... (To be continued......)
