Chapter 18: Reflection

They marched in order to recover the land of Wu, and of course the king of Wu was a dead end.

Miss Chen Er told King Wu to let the officials of the imperial court come in, testify and explain that the assassin was framed by someone else, and the king of Wu gave in and sued for peace, and the imperial court was going to retreat.

These are all things that Miss Chen Er and King Wu said, and the court didn't think about it.

"Your Majesty doesn't want this, it's because King Wu didn't obey the flattering order and came to crusade against the Qing monarch first." The iron-masked general looked at the scroll with the seal of King Wu, "Among the princes of Great Xia, King Wu is the most powerful existence, and Your Majesty never thought that King Wu would negotiate peace with the imperial court. ”

The location of Wu is dangerous, a hundred years of wealth, no disasters and no wars, there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and there is a loyal and capable Chen Taifu, so the prince proposed that if he wants to get rid of Wu, he must first get rid of Chen Taifu, and the emperor's consent was immediately obtained.

But now that Mrs. Chen is still there, the prince's chess pieces have been removed by Miss Chen Er, and King Wu has said that he is willing to negotiate peace with the emperor and make concessions, which has to make people think about it more.

"I personally met King Wu, this person's words and deeds, talk more about Huang Lao's skills." Mr. Wang said, "It seems that everything is empty and everything seems to be empty in the mind-"

"So, I'm going to talk to Your Majesty." The iron-faced general said, "Since King Wu is willing to give in and surrender his troops without a fight, it is a blessing for the imperial court that the people are spared the suffering of conquest." ”

That's all right, but Mr. Wang still doesn't think it's necessary.

"We can win." He was meaningful, and accentuated the words on us, "General, the credit for the achievements and the merits for the talks, that is not the same." ”

"Do you think that the current King of Wu is the same as the King of Yan, the King of Lu, the King of Qi, and the King of Zhou?" The Iron Mask General asked.

Mr. Wang shook his head: "It's completely different, not to mention that they are different from King Zhou and King Qi, and they are completely different from Old King Wu." ”

If those princes and kings are crazy and crazy, the current new generation of King Wu is a fool.

The Iron Mask General glanced at the scroll on the table, "It's not the same for a madman as a fool, andβ€”"

Mr. Wang felt his gaze fall on him from behind the iron mask, as if he had been pricked by a needle, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

"I don't fight for merit." The Iron Mask General's voice rolled over the stone face like a blunt knife, "It's fun to fight a madman, but it's really boring to be a fool." Then he tossed the scroll at him, "Give it to Your Majesty." ”

Mr. Wang could only take the scroll in response, looked at the iron-masked general who was leaning on it, and smiled bitterly, fighting is not for merit, for fun, this is a real madman.

Li Liang's body hung in Wudu, making the atmosphere in the city finally tense.

Great generals like Li Liang have turned their backs on King Wu, is it true that the imperial court is really going to enter this time, and everyone is finally in danger of the war.

King Wu was also unusual, asking about the movement of soldiers and horses on the front line every day, and also put up a battle map in the palace, and put out hundreds of thousands of troops from south to north in the national capital like a long snake-

Chen Liehu pointed out that this will not work, the beginning and the end are not corresponding, and it is easy to be cut off by the enemy when it comes to a real fight.

"This is the position of an old minister." He knelt down and asked, "The old minister is willing to go to the front line to line up to meet this group of unrighteous troops in the imperial court." ”

This is not the first time he has requested, he has been repeatedly denied, and only the guards of the national capital have been handed over to him.

Now his son was killed in battle, his son-in-law was killed in the enemy, and only the veteran came out.

King Wu glanced at him: "It's enough for Taifu to have Second Miss Chen, so you don't have to go out by yourself." ”

Chen Liehu was puzzled when he heard it, and he was vigilant, and once again suspected that King Wu was thinking about Chen Danzhu, and he didn't dare to speak for a while.

Chen Liehu returned to the Taifu Mansion in a daze, and Chen Danzhu ushered in an inquiry about the court.

Since Chen Danzhu came back from going to the barracks, he often asked the military of the DPRK and China, and Chen Liehu did not hide it, telling her one by one that Chen Danyang was dead, Li Liang was dead, Chen Danyan was not in good health, and only Chen Danzhu could take over the mantle.

This time, Chen Liehu is not keen on finding a son-in-law for Chen Danzhu, alas.

"I don't know what the king is thinking." Chen Liehu said, "The fighter plane is fleeting, which is really anxious. ”

Chen Danzhu knew what King Wu was thinking, and wondered if the soldiers and horses of the imperial court would really retreat, and when they would retreat-

"Father, don't worry." She said, "It's not the king himself who goes to war, it's always good that the king has this heart." ”

Chen Liehu also thought so, looking relieved and excited: "The whole heart is one, its profit is gold, how to be afraid of the emperor's unrighteous actions!" ”

Chen Danzhu smiled bitterly in her heart, and couldn't bear to look at her father's face, and the handmaid Fluttershy shouted in surprise from the room: "The eldest lady is awake." ”

Chen Danzhu and Chen Liehu glanced at each other, and they were a little suffocated for a while, not knowing whether to be happy or sad.

"What needs to be faced is still to be faced." Chen Liehu said, "There's nothing that my daughter Chen Liehu can't bear. ”

Chen Danzhu nodded and went to see his sister with Chen Liehu.

Chen Danyan was struggling to get up from the bed, and an abnormal flush appeared on her pale face, which was too emotional-

Fluttershy's servants and doctors were all persuading, but Chen Danyan was just about to get up, and when she saw Chen Liehu walking in, she cried out to her father, "I had a nightmare, father, I heard that Ah Liang is dead, is Ah Liang dead?" ”

Chen Liehu said: "Yes, he died." ”

Chen Danyan let out a cry of pain, tears like rain-

"Don't cry!" Chen Liehu shouted, "Li Liang is a traitor, and he is innocent of death. ”

Chen Danyan's cry suddenly stopped, and she raised her head to look at Chen Liehu, in disbelief, when she fainted, she only heard that Li Liang was dead, and she didn't hear anything else.

Chen Liehu told the matter in a few words.

"Now it is easy for you to see him." He finally said in a deep voice, stretching out his hand and pointing outside, "Just hang the corpse at the city gate." ”

Chen Danyan was stunned when she heard the whole person, and the maidservant Fluttershy knelt on the side of the bed and cried and kowtowed to Chen Liehu: "The master said slowly, the eldest lady, she is not in good health, and she still has children." ”

Chen Liehu's face trembled, and he gritted his teeth: "This child, don't do it." ”

Fluttershy falls to her knees, not daring to speak anymore.

There was a suffocating silence in the room.

Chen Liehu took a deep breath and suppressed the trembling of his voice: "Ah Yan, think about it, I know that you are a smart child, you will figure it out." ”

Chen Danyan turned her eyes to look at him: "Father, Ah Liang was killed by Ah Zhu, right?" ”

Chen Liehu's voice was deep: "This is my order-"

Chen Danyan shouted to her father: "You are like me, you didn't know what Azhu was doing at that time, how could you give her an order." ”

Chen Liehu wanted to say something, Chen Danzhu stood up from behind him and shouted to his sister: "I killed my brother-in-law, and when I did it, my father didn't know it yet." "I told the story I told Chen Liehu again, "So I rushed back to take away the talisman you stole from my sister, and went to see what was going on, and sure enough, I found that he had turned his back on the king." ”

Chen Danyan was stunned for a moment, her lips trembled, and said, "You, you tie him back, come back and come back-"

Isn't it too late to kill? Chen Danzhu looked at her: "No, if I don't kill him, he will kill me." ”

Chen Danyan stopped talking, closed her eyes and burst into tears.

Chen Danzhu didn't give up and asked, "Is my sister blaming me?" ”

Chen Liehu was afraid of this kind of thing, and said bitterly: "Ah Yan, don't you believe your sister? Don't you want Li Liang to die as a traitor? ”

Chen Danyan opened her eyes and smiled sadly: "Father, I love Ah Liang, but if he loses us and the king, I will kill him with my own hands." ”

Chen Liehu nodded: "Okay, okay, I know, my Ayan is a good daughter, don't blame your sister-"

"It's not that I blame her for killing Li Liang." Chen Danyan interrupted Chen Liehu and looked at Chen Danzhu, her eyes were full of pain, "My blame is that you hide it from me, you don't tell me, you don't believe me." ”

Chen Liehu was heartbroken and shouted: "Ah Yan-"

Chen Danzhu didn't feel angry and sad when he was questioned by his sister, let alone shed tears, frowning and displeased: "Sister, you stole the talisman after listening to Li Liang's words, and didn't tell me and my father, don't you also don't believe your father and me?" Then why should I believe you, to tell you what I am going to do? ”

Chen Danyan was stunned.
