Chapter 337: Border Crisis
Baili Yunzheng walked out of the palace gate with Li Chuxia in his arms, exuding a coldness that no one should approach.
Even though he had long expected that Li Chuxia would definitely go to the palace and would definitely make things difficult, he never expected that Lang Yue would kill the killer, and in just one night, Li Chuxia would have so many more wounds on his body.
Back at the place where she lived, Li Chuxia woke up, she seemed to know that she had returned to a familiar place, and smiled at Baili Yunzheng with peace of mind, "Don't worry, I'm not back." ”
Baili Yunzheng's eyes turned red almost immediately, don't turn his head and blink vigorously before holding back the tears that were about to overflow.
"There are times when I wish I could be by your side all the time so that no one can hurt you."
Li Chuxia smiled, "Thanks to you this time, I can clear my grievances so quickly, don't blame myself." ”
Baili Yunzheng stiffened his neck, and the wounds on Li Chuxia's body seemed to remind him that he was not well protected, and he couldn't even protect his beloved, and he actually felt a trace of helplessness at this moment.
Li Chuxia saw that Baili Yunzheng was still drilling the tip of the horns, so he hurriedly enlightened a few more words, and then persuaded people.
Mu Jin learned that Baili Yunzheng and Li Chuxia had returned, and hurriedly ran over.
"This ...... What's going on? Mu Jin stared at Li Chuxia with wide eyes, and for the first time he had a grudge against Emperor Mingde.
"It's fine, it's just that it looks scary, but it's not a big deal." Li Chuxia comforted.
But her pale face and the blood stains on her clothes were clearly not convincing.
Mu Jin wiped his eyes and ran out, "I'll go get a doctor." ”
"This kid ......" Li Chuxia smiled weakly, although he disliked Mu Jinchong on his lips, he still felt a trace of relief in his heart.
Baili Yunzheng sighed and helped Li Chuxia cover the quilt, "Mu Jin is really good, if this country is placed in the hands of Emperor Mingde, I am afraid that sooner or later it will be destroyed." ”
"I know, he's become too much."
Li Chuxia heard from Baili Yunzheng about Emperor Mingde's practices and rhetoric on this matter, she originally had a glimmer of hope for Emperor Mingde in her heart, and felt that Emperor Mingde had at least not lost his sanity as the king of a country, but now it seems that Emperor Mingde is no longer worthy of being an emperor!
The two were silent, their hearts full of disappointment in Emperor Mingde.
After a while, the doctor invited by Mu Jin came, and the doctor prescribed Li Chuxia medicine to stop bleeding and activate the nerves, and left a bottle of ointment to remove scars.
After thanking the doctor, Li Chuxia asked Baili Yunzheng to call Mu Jin, she had some things she wanted to discuss with Mu Jin.
Baili Yunzheng nodded and agreed, and there was a faint premonition in his heart that he knew what Li Chuxia was going to discuss.
Mu Jin came soon, he walked into the house and said to Li Chuxia: "Aunt Chuxia, do you have something to do with me?" ”
"Come, sit." Li Chuxia beckoned someone to sit on the side of his bed, "I want to discuss something with you on behalf of the common people of the world." ”
"What?" Mu Jin clenched his fists, and his heart seemed to be in his throat.
"Will you save them? From the hands of Emperor Mingde, save these people in dire straits, and then be a Ming monarch. ”
After hearing Li Chuxia's words, Mu Jin strangely found that all the tension he had just now had disappeared, and was replaced by another emotion.
It was the sense of mission buried deep in the heart of the royal people, and it all broke out at this moment.
"I do!" Mu Jin couldn't wait to shout out, "I am willing to be a monarch for the country and the people." ”
Li Chuxia and Baili Yunzheng looked at each other and smiled, and they knew that they were not looking at the wrong person.
"Remember what you said today, you must always be the people of the world, not slowly corrupted by power and become a faint monarch like Emperor Mingde." Baili Yunzheng's face was serious, and he admonished in a calm voice.
"Don't worry, Emperor Mingde is my example." Mu Jin made a loud voice, and his eyes were full of determination.
After getting Mu Jin's assurance, Baili Yunzheng contacted the former dark department and his subordinates, and began to prepare for Mu Jin to win the world.
In the palace, Yan Ruoxi slowly improved after taking a few patches of medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor, and in the days of recuperation, she also inquired about the causes and consequences of that day, and she held a grudge against Lang Yue in her heart.
This poison is very ruthless, Lang Yue wants to kill her!
"Xi'er, where has the emperor stayed these days?" Lang Yue asked.
The personal palace maid buried her head and replied in a low voice, "If you go back to Niangniang, the emperor has been with Emperor Lang's concubine these days." ”
Yan Ruoxi's face was slightly distorted, and then he quickly regained his composure, "Go and ask where the emperor is now." ”
"Yes."
Xi'er took the order and went out, leaving Yan Ruoxi in the huge bedroom, and after a while, Yan Ruoxi sat in front of the dressing mirror again, looked at herself in the bronze mirror who had not yet recovered her blood color, and swept a layer of light gouache, and the whole person looked even more haggard.
Xi'er heard that Emperor Mingde was still in the imperial study, and went back to tell Yan Ruoxi.
Yan Ruoxi walked to the imperial study with her skirt, wasn't Lang Yue so bold because the emperor supported her, then she snatched the emperor over.
At that time, it will not be her who will be slaughtered, but the proud girl of the sky.
For a few days, Emperor Mingde stayed with Yan Ruoxi, if he hadn't been impeached by a group of ministers if he hadn't put up the early dynasty, I am afraid he wouldn't even want to go to the early dynasty. But now he is just a formality in the court, and he doesn't care about any state affairs at all.
The people sent out by Lang Yue said that the emperor was still in Concubine Yan's palace today, and the short-tempered Lang Yue directly smashed the vase at hand, and the cold for days finally gave her a sense of crisis.
On this day, Emperor Mingde was still as careless as before, holding his head and listening to the ministers below arguing and arguing.
"Your Majesty, the ministers have a book, please play!"
"Exactly." Emperor Mingde rolled his eyes impatiently.
"Your Majesty, in the recent border crisis, we have lost several cities, and if this continues, I am afraid that the war will lead to the Central Plains."
Emperor Mingde finally got a little right when he heard this, "What about those border soldiers of mine?" On weekdays, there are more people who say that there is not enough food than anything else, why haven't I heard any good news from them at this time? ”
Fine beads of sweat appeared on the foreheads of the ministers who participated in the performance, "Back to the emperor, some of the soldiers in the city resisted to the death, but they were still unable to defeat the enemy. Others...... Other generals surrendered with their soldiers. ”
"What did you say!" When Emperor Mingde heard this, he slapped his palm on the armrest of the dragon chair, and the muffled sound was particularly harsh in the hall.
The ministers who used to be chattering did not dare to say a word at the moment, for fear that the moody emperor would vent his anger on himself.
"Your Majesty, the minister heard that General Baili is now in the capital, so it is better to ask him to dispatch, and this war will definitely be quelled soon."
Emperor Mingde felt weak for a while when he heard Baili Yunzheng's name, and after thinking for a while, he asked the minister, "Isn't there anyone else available in my dynasty except Baili Yunzheng?" ”
The ministers were even more silent than just now, Emperor Mingde was depressed in his heart, of course he knew that Baili Yunzheng had always been invincible, and he would definitely not lose if he was asked to be a general, but he was afraid that the other party would not be controlled.
The entire early dynasty was discussing who to appoint as the commander, but until the next dynasty still did not discuss a result, Emperor Mingde impatiently waved everyone away and began to think about how to hold Baili Yunzheng in his hands.
Suddenly, as if he remembered something, "Prepare the sedan chair, I want to go out." ”
When they arrived at the place where Baili Yunzheng and Li Chuxia were temporarily staying, Emperor Mingde opened the sedan curtain and broke in without waiting for anyone to report.
Baili Yunzheng got the news that Emperor Mingde was coming, and asked people to bring Emperor Mingde to the lobby.
"I don't know why the emperor came in a hurry on this trip?" Baili Yunzheng turned his back to Emperor Mingde, his voice was cold, and he obviously did not welcome Emperor Mingde's arrival.
Emperor Mingde sneered, and didn't care about Baili Yunzheng's attitude, "Recently, the border war has been tight, I guess you have heard about it." ”
"This is not my world, what does it have to do with me if I hear about it." Baili Yunzheng's voice still did not fluctuate in the slightest.
"I want you to be a general and take back all the lost cities."
Baili Yunzheng turned around and looked at Emperor Mingde, but his eyes were full of indifference and ridicule, "The emperor should ask another master." ”
Baili Yun Zheng had already guessed the purpose of Emperor Mingde's trip, but he still sighed a little that Yun Kingdom, which was once full of talents, now didn't even have a single one who could lead troops to fight.
Emperor Mingde didn't take Baili Yunzheng's cold words to heart, but continued: "If I say that Li Chuxia was poisoned, and the antidote is in my hands......"
"What do you mean by that?" Baili Yunzheng frowned.
Emperor Mingde played with the accessories in his hand, and when he saw that Baili Yunzheng was finally in a hurry, he spoke unhurriedly, "At the beginning, Concubine Jing poisoned the early summer, this poison is very tricky, although the poisoned person is no different from ordinary people, but the poison will slowly erode the body, and finally die of weakness." After Concubine Jing died, the antidote came to me. ”
"What should you do, don't you have to say it again?" Emperor Mingde felt that Baili Yunzheng would not refuse this condition, and his tone became more and more proud.
"As long as I can retreat from the enemy, you will give me the antidote?"
Baili Yunzheng's fists were clenched together, and every word seemed to be squeezed out of between his teeth, which was extremely difficult.
He thought that he would not have anything to do with Emperor Mingde in the future, and the last confrontation between the two should be to help Mu Jin win the throne, and he watched Emperor Mingde become a prisoner of the ranks.
Then he never thought that he would still be the general of the Yun Kingdom, take on the name of the patron saint of the Yun Kingdom, and once again become the blade in the hands of Emperor Mingde.
Emperor Mingde didn't miss the change in Baili Yunzheng's face, and for him, it was also an interesting thing to see Baili Yunzheng lose his temper like this.
He will definitely take this handle well and play Baili Yunzheng in applause.
A hint of fierceness flashed in Emperor Mingde's eyes, and then he laughed contentedly, "Li Chuxia's life is in your hands, and I am waiting for your good news in the palace." ”
After finishing speaking, he didn't care that Baili Yunzheng was still stunned, and walked out laughing.
When he went out, he didn't see the person coming from the opposite side, and accidentally bumped into the person, Emperor Mingde looked at the person unhappily, but found that the young man's appearance was not much different from his own.
