On the fourth day of Du Shaoran's return to the dynasty, Emperor Xiahou Hongqing suddenly broke out and was in danger of willow disease.

The doctors were helpless, the court was in turmoil, and the ministers were divided.

At this time, only Du Shaoran was still leisurely, leading the army everywhere to catch strong.

However, when the army swept through the fourth village, the villagers, regardless of men, women, and children, all blocked the entrance of the village with their guys and confronted hundreds of officers and soldiers with weapons.

Behind the crowd, only Du Shaoran was like a king, sitting proudly on horseback.

The warm breeze fluttered with her smooth long hair, and a delicate and elegant face should be gentle as water, but under the background of the silver armor, the aura that was invisibly exuded was full of anger.

"General, do you want to stay alive?" Du Shaoran's subordinates asked about this situation.

Du Shaoran's powerful eyes stared directly at the group of villagers, his body trembled under the sun, his face looked frightened, the corners of his mouth rose involuntarily, and he only said: "Those who disobey will be dealt with by you!" ”

"Yes!" After receiving the order, he approached the villagers with fierce and vicious soldiers.

Du Shaoran rode calmly into the village.

The two sides couldn't fight for half a cup of tea, and the villagers blocking the entrance of the village were scattered by the soldiers. The young warriors were all seriously injured on the ground, the women fled with their children, and the old people were lying on their backs, falling and crying, and the scene was miserable.

Du Shaoran was in a high position, looking down on everyone who was struggling and screaming in pain with a posture of looking down on the world, and there was no pity but ruthlessness in his eyes.

"And there is no law! There is no lawlessness! An old woman who fell to the ground, trampled under her feet, roared hoarsely at Du Shaoran.

Seeing this, Du Shaoran dismounted, she walked to the old woman, squatted down, and helped her smooth the scattered white hair with an expressionless face, so frightened that the old man trembled all over, choked and couldn't say a word.

"Perverting the law? Are you talking to General Ben about perverting the law? Du Shaoran smiled, she looked good when she smiled, but at the moment of changing her face, her face was like a poison, cold and suffocating: "Kill her!" ”

Du Shao gave the killing order and returned to his horse without looking back.

"Don't—" The old woman looked at the soldier who raised her spear at her, and she tearfully shook her head in the face of death, and her body struggled backwards, trying to dodge the spear, but the spear was getting closer and closer to her body.

"Don't!" She crawled to the ground, clutching her head and shouting.

Immediately after, with a clang, the spear in the soldier's hand broke and fell to the ground, and his body flew into the air, and he fell heavily to the ground, vomiting two mouthfuls of blood and fainting.

"Dong Qiuxu!" Du Shaoran looked at the person who came, glared and gritted his teeth.

Dong Qiuxu, dressed in a white shirt and holding a long sword, suddenly appeared, startling everyone. He picked up the old woman, helped her comb her dusty clothes, kicked away the officers and soldiers who were still ravaging the villagers around him, and then walked towards Du Shaoran on horseback.

"False mercy! You don't deal with important things in the court, and you come here to meddle in your affairs? When Du Shaoran saw him coming, he really couldn't get used to seeing that strange face with a cheap smile, especially with that suave energy, he really felt disgusting.

"General! Do you also know that the imperial court has something to deal with? Then you are still bullying the defenseless people here? Can't you tell which is more important? Dong Qiu continued to say after Du Shaoran's words.

"Get down!" Du Shaoran smashed it with her elbow and got on Dong Qiuxu, who loved her horse.

Dong Qiuxu sat behind her, smiling at her angry face, the left side of her face was deliberately close to her right cheek, and rubbed it twice: "General, you are so fragrant!" While teasing her, Dong Qiuxu's hands restrained her restless arms with all her might, making her unable to exert her strength.

"I'm going to kill you!" Du Shaoran was furious, she felt that Dong Qiuxu was completely insulting her.

Dong Qiuxu ignored the irritable Du Shaoran, looked at the soldiers who were still presumptuous, and the smiling demonic face instantly tensed: "You all stop, listen to my orders and go back to the city, otherwise don't blame Prime Minister Ben for killing him!" After speaking, he forcibly drove the horse and left with Du Shaoran.

When Shen Shi, Du Shaoran was coerced and lured by Dong Qiu to the Zichen Hall where Xiahou Hongqing lived, and Wu Xi, the chief eunuch who had been waiting outside the door for a long time, saw Du Shaoran and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Prime Minister!" Checkmate! You're coming! The emperor is in a hurry! ”

Du Shaoran listened to Wu Xi's voice, his eyebrows furrowed, and he only said 'um'.

"General! Prime minister! Come in! Wu Xi opened the door for the two.

The two crossed the threshold and entered the bedroom.

Dong Qiu continued to salute.

Du Shaoran looked at his face and avoided him with disgust.

When she came to the bed, she looked at Xiahou Hongqing, who was beginning to fester, and her face was gray and thin, and she didn't bother to salute, so she called directly: "Your Majesty!" ”

Xiahou Hongqing listened to the sound and turned his head with difficulty: "General..."

"Hmm." Du Shaoran nodded in response.

"I hope you will protect the seventh brother well..."He looked at the condescending Du Shaoran with his eyes, his face full of pain and tiredness.

Du Shaoran knew what he meant, but he deliberately shook his head, his handsome and delicate face, showing helplessness: "Your Majesty, it's not that the last general won't agree to you, it's just..."

"You... Think... Rebel... Is it? Xiahou Hong's eyes widened with anger, and his boring face was filled with anger.

Du Shaoran didn't care about Xiahou Hongqing's attitude at all, let go of the previous respect, she came to the dragon couch and sat down, stared at the dying man without squinting, slowly stretched out his hand, played a few circles in front of his eyes, and suddenly made him close his eyes: "You are already a dying person, why bother asking who will help you in the end?" ”

Du Shaoran knew that now the imperial court was divided into three factions, and Dong Qiuxu and one-third of the ministers supported the establishment of the seventh prince, Emperor Xiahou. Xiahou Lie, the third prince who had just sealed the territory, also had nearly one-third of them. The remaining one-third of the ministers followed her, and she became the key to the contention between the two sides, mainly because the power of the 300,000-strong army was in her hands.

"Oh, the general is so daring!" Dong Qiu continued to open his mouth with a strange yin and yang atmosphere.

Du Shaoran stood up, slashed him with the corner of his eye, and then threw out the crescent moon secret weapon at him, never thought that this time he was caught by his bare hands, and she stomped her feet in her heart in anger.

Dong Qiuxu looked at the hidden weapon in his hand, looked at Du Shaoran thoughtfully, and suddenly became serious: "General Du, you are a woman, it is better to stand in the right team, the loss of body is small, and I will torture you severely if you lose power." ”

"Prime Minister, aren't you going to cross the general? How? And to torture the general? After Du Shaoran responded to his provocation, he looked back at Xiahou Hongqing and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, if the prime minister can sleep in front of the last general forever, the last general will definitely protect the seven princes!" After saying that, she smiled provocatively at Dong Qiu, and left without permission.
