I was going to go back happy, but I encountered an incident on the way, which swept away the good mood of Emperor Yuan's trip. That day, the convoy had not yet left the border city, and there was a commotion ahead, and Chu Zikai came to check and came over to inform him that the family was weak and bullied. Hearing this, Emperor Yuan immediately got out of the car, Yu Zhao was curious, and also looked at it from the carriage behind.

The family of three, an old man, a woman and a child, was pitifully surrounded by the crowd, and their bodies were full of rotten vegetable leaves and silt, and many people couldn't help but spit on when they passed by, scolding: "The traitorous family is not a good thing, get out of the realm of Dachu!"

The old woman seemed to be unable to speak, and she prostrated herself on the ground and kowtowed to others, begging to be spared. The woman gritted her teeth and wept, hugged the weeping child tightly, and kept the leaves from being thrown at him. But this sad scene didn't move the crowd of onlookers at all. From the words they spat out, it can be inferred that this man should be this man, who defected to the enemy army in order to survive when he was hit by the disaster last year, and his sword was stained with the blood of his compatriots.

This matter is indeed difficult to decide, Chu Zikai and Yu Zhao both looked at Emperor Yuan, his brows that had not been furrowed for a long time rose again, his eyes were full of sorrow, as if there was a trace of loss, and in the end only the guards who followed dispersed the crowd of onlookers and got into the carriage without saying a word.

It is a fact that the family is pitiful, but this matter cannot be sympathized, and if forgiveness is given, the crime of treason will be light. As soon as the majesty of the law is lost, those who are persistent and easily shaken, looking at profits, will have no scruples and bite back. Even if Chu Ziyin is the son of Emperor Yuan, if he takes that step, he can only be an enemy from now on. Yu Zhao and Chu Zikai all knew it, and it was inconvenient to intervene, so he sighed lightly and turned around.

Yu Zhao asked, "Chu Ziyin still can't find out the news in Burning Summer?" ”

Chu Zikai replied: "Yes, it seems that they are trying their best to protect him, Qi Xing and him may not give up, and sooner or later there will be another big battle."

No wonder Emperor Yuan was sad and sad, his son united with the enemy with hatred, and was always ready to attack him and take his country, and even his life, it would not be good for anyone. Chu Zikai suddenly said in frustration: "If he wasn't so scheming, with a human face and a beastly heart, his father would have considered him when he established his heir." ”

Listening to his tone, as if with a hint of regret, Yu Zhao turned his head to look at him. "His Royal Highness originally had no intention of taking over the power?"

Chu Zikai replied: "The imperial power is supreme, and whoever doesn't want to get it, I am no exception." Then he sighed in disappointment, and said heavily: "But if I can exchange my mother's life back, I feel that I can give it up." It's a pity that there is no such possibility, and I don't want to fulfill the wishes of those who are watching the imperfect intentions of the imperial power, so I have to decide this right. ”

I never felt that Chu Zikai was a person who could fight, but he only ascended to a high position because of his outstanding talent above the princes and won the support of Emperor Yuan. Yu Zhao thought about it carefully, Qi Xing, Yu Cheng, Fu Guogong and others always stumbled in secret, and whoever seized the opportunity would come to step on him. If you really don't have power, no matter how much you keep to yourself, you will be regarded as an imaginary enemy. As if he shouldn't have such good abilities, and if he did, he would threaten those people, and they would have to find ways to get rid of them. So this right must be contested, but ......

Seeing her thoughts, Chu Zikai asked the question he had asked before before helping her into the car: "Zhaozhao, do you believe me?" ”

Yu Zhao nodded in response. "Nature"

The four eyes are facing each other, full of affection, so they all entrust their hearts and stay together on the same road.

It was always calm before the storm, and as it is now, it was very quiet in the palace. The wind blew the curtain in the hall, reflecting the candlelight, and the shadow dangled on the book in Yu Zhao's hand. Let her look uneasy, and her heart was inexplicably panicked, so she simply put down the book and went to the building fence to blow the wind.

The white moonlight sprinkled all over the ground, bright and beautiful. The flowers and trees in the courtyard flutter in the wind, and the shadows are reflected in the moonlight, graceful and graceful.

Suddenly, there was a sound of horses' hooves, breaking the beauty of the scene. Yu Zhaozheng was surprised, and saw that the palace gate of the palace was opened layer by layer, and a group of people in armor hurriedly entered the palace of Emperor Yuan. I was secretly shocked in my heart, could it be that Chu Zikai's guess came true so quickly? Anxious to know what was going on, some leaned on the railing with their hands and watched the situation.

After a while, Chu Zikai and a majestic veteran also hurried in. For a long time, no one came out. Zhuo Yao walked out of the hall and reminded: "Niangniang, it's past the time, let's rest." ”

Yu Zhao's eyes stared at the closed door of the hall, and ordered: "Let's all go down and rest, I don't have any sleep, I will go in later." ”

Hearing her say this, Zhuo Yao responded, walked into the hall and sent the people who were waiting, and went to Chu Ziyi to stay and sleep. After waiting for a while, the night wind blew Yu Zhao cold with some coldness, and the door finally opened.

Everyone hurried out. Chu Zikai turned the corner and hurriedly walked up to the attic, Yu Zhao knew that he must have something to say to him, so he hurriedly greeted him. "Your Highness, what happened and why did you ......"

Before the words were finished, he had already embraced him, and Chu Zikai whispered: "The frontier is in an emergency, and the army of Burning Xia is thirty miles away from the border pass. ”

Sure enough, Yu Zhao asked, "Then the main army that has just rested in Jingzhou can arrive in time?" ”

"It's a little difficult, I'm going to go this time." As soon as Chu Zikai said this, Yu Zhao was stunned, and heard him say again: "This time is not only to resist the enemy, but I want to completely eradicate the hidden danger of burning summer." Looking at the court, the only available generals are Wen Jiang and a few other veterans. In order to ensure that the next one is not raised, I must take command, win over the hearts of the army, and bring some new generals to my own use, so that I can have the confidence to confront the disobedient when he ascends to the throne. ”

It is also true that war is sometimes not a bad thing for some people, but a good opportunity to make a difference. If you can really subdue Burning Summer, the people's hearts and prestige will be all there, and it will naturally be good. But the battlefield is dangerous, who can guarantee that there will be no accidents? What's more, the other party has Qi Xing, an old fox who knows everything about the Great Chu military camp system, and this battle will definitely be full of dangers.

Yu Zhao felt that Chu Zikai's embrace was extremely warm, and dispersed the chill of Fang Cai, but his heart couldn't warm up, and his worry gathered in his throat, and he spit out a few words with difficulty, and asked, "Is it the only way?" ”

"Don't worry," she was worried, but for the sake of long-term planning, there was no other way, Chu Zikai could only comfort her with words. "I'll be careful. There are too few people brought out on this trip, and I don't worry about letting you and my father go back like this. You will settle here first, and then you will send someone from Jingzhou to pick you up, and then you will leave. ”

This is not an important matter, Yu Zhao is worried that the person next to him is about to go to the battlefield to fight, and he has no intention of going back. But how can it be up to oneself to condense prayers and worries into one sentence? "Take care, Your Highness."

"For you, I will." After Chu Zikai finished speaking, he pressed his forehead against her, looked into her eyes and promised, and instructed: "Zhaozhao, you are the same, wait for me to come back." ”

Yu Zhao nodded, trying his best to hold back his tears. received the gentle kiss before parting with him. Looking at his figure leaving in a hurry, still reluctant, Yu Zhao shuttled through the pavilions and pavilions all the way to the palace wall. After waiting for a while, he saw Chu Zikai come out, changed into a military uniform, his eyes were completely unsoftened, he was resolute, waved his order, and led the soldiers to the frontier.
