For modern people, especially modern people like Zuo Ying who have studied in Western countries, many feelings can only be fully expressed with the help of body language. She was so excited that she couldn't help but lean over, reached out and wrapped her arms around Scarlet Feather's neck, and her voice softened, "Yu'er, how can I hate you?" You are not an ornament, you are not a garment, you are you. You are unique in my mind, and no one can replace you, and no one dares to take you away from me. If you want to stay by my side, I will let you stay by my side, for the rest of your life, forever like this. ”

At the moment when she was hugged by Zuo Ying, the scarlet feather was already blindfolded. He couldn't believe what had happened to him all of a sudden, something he couldn't even dream of. Zuo Ying's words in his ear made him even more incredulous, almost ecstatic, making him feel as if he was in an illusory realm. When he came back to his senses from the sudden tingling sensation all over his body, the softness and warmth of the ring around his neck, as well as the delicacy and smoothness that clinged to his face, made him have no time to think about whether it was proper or not, and he had already opened his arms and hugged Zuo Ying's waist and back tightly.

He wanted to say thank you, but his choked throat couldn't say a word. The sudden sense of happiness made his tears finally unbearable, and he burst out of his eyes, he pressed his face against Zuo Ying's shoulders, and hugged his hands tighter.

Maybe it's in a dream now. Yes, and only dreams can explain this arrogant fantasy and unreal absurdity. However, he secretly prayed that the dream would go on forever and never wake up. Because then he can never let go of his hands. He wanted to just hold her all the time, and surround her tightly with his body and his life. It doesn't matter who she is, no matter where she comes from, no matter how those bizarre twists and turns happen. He knew that the one he loved was in his arms, and she knew his sincerity, and he didn't doubt that he had two thoughts. That's enough.

"No thanksgiving, I know what you're thinking." Zuo Ying gently stroked Scarlet Feather's hair with understanding, the soft and smooth touch flowing between her fingers, and the feeling of her whole body being embraced by his warm and powerful arms, seemed to bring her soul to a pure land where she could breathe and be comforted.

She couldn't help but close her eyes, and she was also greedily enjoying this rare peace of mind and peace of mind.

At this moment, there was a sound of banging on the door from behind the screen.

"Hey! Open the door. ”

The two of them listened to the domineering tone and the loud voice. I knew that it was Ashina Wuzhi who was outside the door.

After a while, Ashina strode in indefinitely and sat in the inner room with Zuo Ying and Scarlet Feather.

As soon as he sat down, he noticed that Scarlet Feather looked tear-stained, disheveled, and greatly wronged; And just now the light was bright in the room, and the two of them rubbed for a while before opening the door......

He couldn't help but look at the two of them with a strange and mocking gaze. "What were you doing in the room just now?"

Scarlet Feather hurriedly lowered her head and said, "Please don't misunderstand...... Your Highness" Before he finished speaking, his face was already red to his neck.

Although Zuo Ying looked casual, in Ashina's opinion, her unsmiling expression clearly meant that she resented him for interrupting her good deeds.

He couldn't help but think wildly: the men of the Great Zhou were not as strong, mighty, brave and masculine as the Turkic men, but he couldn't imagine that the women of the Great Zhou were so fierce - in every aspect! Especially this little empress, who is so young and looks so delicate and weak, can even force a man like this. Well...... must have relied on the firearm that injured him in Chengze's palace to persecute others! Think about it this way. On the wedding night, she was already very restrained, otherwise...... Thinking of this, he was a little more jealous of this little empress.

"Why did you come to me in the middle of the night?" Zuo Ying asked Ashina indefinitely. How did she know that this child, whose imagination was as vast as the prairie, had already thought so much in an instant? Even her motives for committing the crime and the tools of the crime have been fully considered. She only felt that his face was blue and green, and she didn't know if it was because she felt uncomfortable because she didn't adapt to the water and soil, so she got up in the middle of the night to find medicine to eat.

Ashina pursed his lips indefinitely. After sorting out his thoughts for a while, he said: "The more I think about it, the more I feel that today's events are not quite right, and I can't get up and walk around when I can't sleep, but I see your room lit up, so I came in." ”

Zuo Ying thought to herself, could it be that his intuition was the same as his own?

"What's wrong, you say?" Zuo Ying continued to ask.

Ashina stood up indefinitely, put his hands behind his back, looked at Zuo Ying seriously, and said, "You all think about the wrong point. Who wants to kill whom, who is alive and who is dead, is it really that important to us now? Thinking about it, I always think that the case of more than 100 sergeants being killed is the point. Moreover, there seems to be some kind of connection between these things. ”

Ashina, who is accustomed to battlefield battles, really has a different way of thinking from the ministers who grew up in the court struggle.

Zuo Ying nodded, this was exactly what she thought about after lying on the bed.

"We were all wrong at first." Zuo Ying sat up straight and said, "This matter is not trivial. Huangfu, you immediately go to find someone to call Song Guantu and Su Bo. Scarlet feathers, waiting for me to change clothes. ”

At noon the next day, Shi Guoliang in Pingzhou City really received an urgent report from Kuaima, saying that a messenger came with a holy edict and asked Shi Guoliang, Dong Lin, and Tuoba Shou to go out of the city together to receive the order.

When Shi Guoliang heard this, as expected, Qin Cha came so quickly. Although he had been prepared, he was still uneasy in his heart. He straightened his clothes in front of the makeup mirror, thinking about what was about to happen. Although he had prepared a "seamless" way to deal with it, after the last incident, he had to be afraid of the existence of accidents.

"Husband," at this time, it was Mrs. Shi who walked slowly from behind Shi Guoliang, she also looked anxious, her reddish eyes seemed to contain undried tears, "It's all the fault of the concubine, it's the concubine's idea that is clumsy and has harmed the husband!" ”

Shi Guoliang sighed and said in a deep voice: "Madam doesn't have to blame herself. The plan proposed by Madame was originally a peerless plan to kill two birds with one stone, but unfortunately there were too many unforeseen circumstances......" He paused for a moment before looking at Madam Shi in the mirror, and reluctantly smiled: "Actually, the empress may not have been informed and knew the truth of the matter, this is just the worst plan." Ziyang City Taishou Song Guantu has a good relationship with the old man, even if someone really goes to report the news, as long as the empress is not around, he will definitely not accept it easily, but temporarily withhold the news, and inform the old man before dealing with it. And what if...... If the Empress had really learned about this, we would have a good way to deal with it. Therefore, Madame need not be overly worried. ”

Mrs. Shi could see that although Shi Guoliang said so, and even barely squeezed out a smile, the anxiety in his eyes did not dissipate. After his comfort, the expression on Mrs. Shi's face became even more worried and blamed, and her eyes turned red and tears flowed out.

Just after noon, the west gate of Pingzhou City was opened, and Shi Guoliang led a group of officials of all sizes out of the city and lined up on the avenue to greet them.

About two quarters of an hour later, I saw a detachment of men and horses coming to cover the way. There were about two or three hundred men in that army, all dressed in neat leather armor, and they were very energetic. The flags recruited in the team are all written with the word "Xu" written on them. The first young general is in white robe and silver armor, majestic and majestic. With the reins in one hand and the brocade box containing the decree in the other, he led his men to a halt in front of the city gate.

When Shi Guoliang saw the person coming, it was undoubtedly the Qin messenger who issued the decree, but he didn't know why the Qin messenger wanted to bring so many people, maybe the new emperor liked such a grand pomp. So he led all the officials to step forward and bowed down and said: "Xiaguan Pingzhou is too shou Shi Guoliang to greet the errand." ”

The leader of the general said loudly: "This general is Sima Xu Hong, who opened the mansion, and came first to issue an edict on the order of the saint. Please go into the city and proclaim the decree again. ”

Although Shi Guoliang had already prepared the incense case outside the city gate to meet the holy decree according to the custom, he did not expect the messenger to ask to enter the city and then issue the decree, so he had to immediately ask the attendants to move the incense case into the open place inside the city gate, and he led the officials to lead Xu Hong and his party into the city.

The team was halfway through, and a team of people and horses was still half in the city and half outside the city, but Xu Hong suddenly stopped and said loudly: "Pingzhou is too shou Shi Guoliang to take orders." ”

The officials of Pingzhou City were a little confused by this sudden order. I was complaining about the capriciousness of this chincha in my heart.

Shi Guoliang was even more empty in his heart, and he didn't know if there was any special meaning in this. However, no matter how suspicious he was, he could only bite the bullet and obey. And no matter how you say it, it is impossible for this Qincha to take him down like this, he has the drama of the prisoner personally confessing his guilt in hand, so he doesn't have to worry that the crime will not be cleared.

He then led a group of officials, bowed their heads and knelt down to receive the order.

I saw that Xu Hong did not open the brocade box and take out the holy decree, but threw the holy decree, and then pulled out the big knife behind his back with a "bang", and slashed at Shi Guoliang who was kneeling under the horse with the knife in his hand!

Shi Guoliang only felt that there was a golden light in the afterglow, and as soon as he looked up in astonishment, the blade was already in front of him, and he didn't even have a chance to scream.

When the officials saw this, they couldn't help but be terrified, and they all ran away in surprise. However, the soldiers behind Xu Hong had already rushed up, and after a round of swords and swords, those officials who came out to greet them and all the entourage soldiers were hacked to death under the horses with random knives. Suddenly the corpses were strewn under the city gate, and the blood flowed like a river!
