Chapter 45: Hijacking
As if in disbelief, Chu Ziyin took the Son of Heaven Order in his hand and looked at it over and over again to confirm its authenticity. But the brand is indeed real, and he sighed incredibly: "Chen Niangniang really won the honor of her father, and the Son of Heaven token can be handed over to you to carry." ”
It's just that he didn't find a chance to return it to Emperor Yuan after he came back. Yu Zhao followed his words: "This thing is useful for the palace to hold, but it may not be necessary for the thief to hold it."
Among the group of Burning Xia soldiers, someone immediately proposed to Chu Ziyin: "But now that the favorite concubine is in our hands, Lord Chu, we can take Concubine Chen and others, take the Son of Heaven Decree and put forward conditions with the emperor, stay in Qingshan, I am not afraid of no firewood, as long as we survive, it is not impossible to make a comeback......
Chu Ziyin turned a deaf ear, rubbed the token that symbolized supreme power repeatedly, and muttered: "Finally, there is someone, in the eyes of the emperor, who is heavier than Concubine Shu and Chu Zikai."
Yu Zhao pretended to be stupid and discussed with him: "I don't know what this brand can do, but the palace just said that it looks good, and His Majesty gave it to me." I heard that it should be able to save your life, why don't you let us go, and this palace will save your life with a sign? ”
As Yu Zhao expected, the soldiers who followed Chu Ziyin on the scene did not have a long time, and they didn't want to give up the chance to live for him, so most of them opened their mouths to persuade Chu Ziyin.
Chu Ziyin smiled bitterly, and his tone was sad: "What can I do if I live, my relatives are separated, and my future is ruined, so it's better to die than to live like this."
Others don't think so, although Burning Xia has been completely cut down, most of their families are still there, and they don't agree with this when they hear this, and some people actually let go of their voices and argue with him. One person spoke, and the others immediately chimed in. In the midst of the gossip and controversy, Yu Zhao also added fuel to the fire: "Why are you always like this, Your Majesty has given you a chance to reform yourself, and you have to rebel and seek death." was given death and escaped by luck, and you have to rebel and seek death. Now that the opportunity to live well is in front of you, you would rather let it go...... What kind of future is ruined, Da Chu has always had a saying called atonement for sins......"
The last sentence, like a fire, lit up the eyes of those soldiers who wanted to live in Burning Summer. At present, the people on both sides, one is a foreign general who is convicted of many crimes and only cares about himself and ignores the thoughts of others, and the other is the top pet of the people in power today.
Thinking about it, he was brought here, even if he killed Yu Zhaoyi and the others, he would not be able to escape, so he had to wait for death. It's better to give it a go, bite back to protect Concubine Chen, and maybe have a chance to live.
Everyone's hands holding weapons were clenched, but many people's eyes were aimed at Chu Ziyin, who was bowing his head and contemplating. Yu Zhao laughed secretly in his heart, and the infighting was successfully provoked. Zhuo Yao also probably understood the direction of the matter, and watched steadily, Yu Zhao stretched out his hand to Chu Ziyin: "Since you don't want to live, then return the brand to me, a person like you is not worthy of this brand to be buried."
Chu Ziyin hated others the most in his life for saying that he was not worthy of anything, so he immediately became angry, smashed the brand on the ground, and picked up a knife to destroy it. It was the effect that Yu Zhao wanted to see, he didn't have to do it himself, and immediately his group of people went up to stop it and fight with him. Yu Zhao said again: "No matter what your identity is today, as long as you protect the palace and return safely to Your Majesty's side, everyone will not be blamed for the past crimes, and the reward for gold and silver horses will return home."
Hearing her promise, someone was immediately moved, anyway, someone had already done it, why didn't he seize the opportunity to abandon the darkness and turn to the light. Naturally, there were also more loyal people, and the sword stabbed straight at Yu Zhao and the others, but fortunately, someone cared about the reward that Yu Zhao said, and immediately stepped forward to resist.
The situation slowly changed, and in the end, the party loyal to Chu Ziyin had the upper hand, and I have to say that Chu Ziyin's ability to lead troops is really not good. If you want the horses to run, but don't give the horses grass, how can there be so many loyal and brave people in the world, how can you be confident that you like everything.
Chu Ziyin, who was suppressed by his subordinates at this moment, didn't seem to understand this truth, and scolded this group of people loudly and angrily for ignoring morality. Yu Zhao smiled secretly in his heart, he was a thief, and he expected his subordinates to be loyal people, which was a bit too high.
Now that there is a request for these soldiers who burn the summer, Yu Zhao slowed down and said to them: "There is work."
There has never been a person with such a noble status who speaks so humbly to himself, and those people are even more convinced in their hearts that Yu Zhao said that the way to live is very promising. The people downstairs heard the sound of fighting, came up to check, and saw that Chu Ziyin was restrained and stunned. An older soldier spoke: "Brothers, Chu Ziyin, for his own selfish desires, took us into the territory of Great Chu to die, and did not give people a way to live. At present, Concubine Chen's mother has spoken with the order of the Great Chu Emperor, as long as the merit is atoned, no punishment will be rewarded, and the wife and children are waiting at home, why should we look forward to the people who do not plan for us. ”
The words came from the mouths of their own people, adding a bit of credibility, and many of them relaxed their hands holding weapons. It seemed that he was convinced, Yu Zhao wanted to go to the next room, even if those people didn't know what to do, Zhuo Yao still protected him every step of the way. As soon as he opened the door, he saw many old and weak women and children tied hand and foot, Yu Zhao whispered to ask people to loosen the ties, and those people immediately obeyed the order and stepped forward to untie the ropes.
As soon as Yu Zhao picked up the order of the Son of Heaven, there was immediately a commotion downstairs, Chu Zikai and others hurriedly arrived, and when he went upstairs to see that Yu Zhao was unharmed, he breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that Chu Ziyin was suppressed by the soldiers of Burning Xia, it was a little incredible. Those Burning Xia people were still a little uneasy when they saw the Great Chu Imperial Forest Army, and raised their knives to point at each other. Yu Zhao hurriedly stabilized the situation: "The enlightened soldiers of Burning Xia have decided to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and atone for their sins, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must not embarrass them."
Chu Zikai nodded clearly and stood still vigilantly.
The spirit of Burning Xia and the others collapsed tightly, and Yu Zhao took half a step forward and they didn't follow. "In order to ensure that Concubine Chen's promise is credible, I also ask Concubine Chen's mother to be wronged and take us to the pass. After fulfilling the promise, he will let the mother go free. ”
Yu Zhao and the others were now surrounded by the soldiers of the Burning Xia, and Chu Zikai did not dare to act rashly, and led people out of the ancient castle according to his words. Yu Zhao and the people of Great Chu were surrounded by them, followed by Chu Ziyin, who was suppressed, and slowly moved outward.
No matter how unreliable the owner is, he will always meet one or two dogs who are desperate, and Chu Ziyin is no exception. The Imperial Forest Army retreated all the way, and Burning Xia led people all the way forward, and it was only a few tens of meters away. The two who were pressing Chu Ziyin suddenly let go and began to slaughter the people in the team. The scene was immediately chaotic. Chu Ziyin quickly pulled out the short knife and pulled Yu Zhao around her neck. Whether it was the person who wanted to rely on Yu Zhao to survive in Burning Xia, or the person brought by Chu Zikai, he immediately didn't dare to move.
Chu Ziyin and a few entourages held Yu Zhao and a few people hostage all the way back, and said with a smile: "Chen Niangniang is really good at buying people's hearts, if you are a man, my father's country may also become your bag." turned to suddenly realize and looked at Chu Zikai: "It's almost there, you have a fifth brother, and Chu Zikai's position is not stable......"
