Chapter 5 Red Makeup

"If I had known, I wouldn't have taken you there." Cang Xuelan took off her armor, annoyed.

"If I don't go, I'm afraid that this Miss Wen will lose her life."

"Then you don't have to say anything about the side room."

Shui Banxia tested the temperature of the water in the bathtub, turned around and smiled at him, "If I don't say that, how can Miss Wen die?" You really can't bear to let such a beautiful woman like a flower and jade be widowed for your brother. ”

Cang Xuelan sighed, "Alas, it's really a debt. ”

He unbuckled his belt and was about to prepare his wide clothes, but was stopped by Shui Banxia, who drove him behind the screen, locked the doors and windows, and then said: "You, don't be careful, what if someone breaks in, what are you going to do?" ”

"I was negligent." Cang Xuelan untied her clothes and put them on the screen, under the hard armor, his body was concave and convex, it was actually a woman's body, she sat in the bathtub and breathed a long sigh of relief, "You are here, I can also breathe a sigh of relief." ”

"Do you really want me to serve that Miss Wen?"

"I'm not worried about others, and I have to keep an eye on Governor Chen, I'm really lacking in skills."

Shui Banxia pulled up his hair and stroked her face to get the scar, "Do you regret it?" ”

"No regrets."

The Battle of the Border Pass six years ago is now a myth.

The old general Cang was killed in battle, and his body was hung in front of the army to show the public, Cang Xuelan was hit by several arrows, but he supported his wounds, won the battle, and killed 30,000 enemy soldiers.

However, this is not the case.

It is true that Cang Xuelan has several arrows in her body, but one arrow hits the heart, Rao is a miracle doctor like Granny Lin, and she doesn't dare to pull out the arrow.

He knew that his time was short, so he took his sister Cang Xueyao's hand and said for a long time, he said the enemy intelligence that he had spied on in the past few days, how to retreat from the enemy, which general on the other side was very tricky and had to die, what kind of temper the lieutenant generals who had been with him for many years, and the power struggle and distribution of Cang Xingjun.

Finally, Cang Xuelan picked up the blood-stained handkerchief in her arms, and a bunch of yellow pear blossoms on it were stained with blood.

"I am worthy of the family and the court in my life, but I am sorry for three people, one is my father, he firmly believes that I can support the Cang Marching Army, I have betrayed his trust, and I can't even snatch his corpse back. One is you, since I was a child, I relied on myself to be my brother, and I bullied you a lot, but in the end, I still want you to sacrifice yourself to help me clean up the mess. The last one is Wen Ying, I actually died here after proposing marriage to her, and she is still waiting for me to go back and marry her...... But I really have no choice, my father is dead, if even I die, the army's spirit will collapse, we will definitely lose this battle, once Fenzhou is lost, the enemy army will continue to attack, until the Great Zhou is annexed, and our people will also be humiliated by them...... Xue Yao, I'm sorry...... I'm really sorry ......."

On the battlefield, Da Zhou could only defend the city wall, and the enemy was menacing.

In Cangfu, Cang Xueyao bit a white cloth, faced the mirror, and cut down her face with a knife, from the corner of her eyebrows to her jaw, exactly the same as the knife wound on Cang Xuelan's face, she tied her chest, covered her neck without an Adam's apple with a fur collar, put on armor, and took the sword in her brother's hand.

Holding a sword for six years, guarding the border gates, never stopping.

In her life, she can no longer walk in the sun as a woman openly, but she has no regrets.

"Otherwise, tell her the truth."

Cang Xueyao shook her head, "Women joining the army are not allowed in the world, not to mention that I am pretending to be my brother, in the end, it is a felony to bully the king, if one day things are revealed, she doesn't know that she is safe, but you ......"

"Don't worry, can't I run away if I can't beat me?" Shui Banxia combed her long hair for Xue Yao, "If there is really such a day, the emperor even kills a loyal minister like you, I will definitely take refuge in Dahao and destroy Da Zhou to avenge you." ”

Cang Xueyao knew that Shui Banxia had an unforgiving personality on her lips, so she just smiled and didn't take it seriously. Cang Xueyao was no longer tense at the moment, the water washed away the exhaustion on her face, revealing a fair face, bright and heroic.

"If you wear women's clothes, you must look good."

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Wei Rong said outside the door: "General, the poisoned maid has been caught." ”

Wei Rong's voice startled Cang Xueyao, she subconsciously shrank into the water, only revealing a pair of eyes, remembering that Wei Rong did not enter the house, she breathed a sigh of relief, floated up again, and lowered her voice, "What's the matter?" ”

"It's also interesting to say, that person is the slave maid of Lord Qi's family, and he said that he sent winter clothes to Miss Wen."

"Lord Qi?" Cang Xueyao raised her eyebrows, "What did Lord Qi himself say?" ”

"Governor Chen has already been tried, I don't know if I ask three questions, and in the end, I have to commit suicide by hitting the wall to show my innocence, and now I am making trouble, general, should we come forward?"

Cang Xueyao sneered: "Don't worry, someone will pull it, and you can't die." ”

Wei Rong was down to business, and Cang Xueyao didn't want to let him report through the door all the time, so he stood up and wiped his clothes with the help of Shui Banxia.

"One more thing," Wei Rong was a little helpless, "the people from His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes are here. ”

"So fast?"

From the capital to Changzhou, the fast horse whips day and night, and it has to walk for half a month, even if it is a secret letter that is urgent for thousands of miles, it will take at least 10 days, and the delicate and noble appearance of the Nine Emperor Princes will have to be delayed on the road for more than a month, which is only a few days.

"The Nine Emperor Princes themselves didn't come, but they sent a team of guards to come over first, clean up the courtyard for him, and arrange matters. Governor Chen originally wanted to detain Lord Qi first, but when the Nine Emperor Princes came, he had to let Lord Qi come forward. ”

Cangxue Yaoqi said: "This Nine Emperor Princes, even Governor Chen is unwilling to deal with it?" ”

Cang Xueyao has been stationed in Fenzhou for many years, and she knows little about the affairs of the capital, and the prestige of this Nine Emperor Prince has never been understood.

"From the words and deeds of his attendants, we can see the character of the Nine Emperor Princes themselves."

"Then in your opinion, how about this Nine Emperor Prince?"

"One straw bale." Wei Rong said bluntly, "But the emperor sent him to supervise, and we have to meet him, even Miss Wen, according to the rules, we have to meet him." ”

Cang Xueyao tied her black hair behind her back, and turned back into the sharp-eyed General Cang Xuelan, he opened the door and sneered at Wei Rong: "Since he loves to play, then let him have fun, just don't get in the way." ”

Wei Rong lowered his voice, "That's ...... over there."

"I think this Lord Qi shouldn't have the courage to poison him, send a few good hands to keep an eye on him, don't be discovered, as for the slave who was caught, since Lord Chen can't ask anything, I have to interrogate him personally."

"Yes."

Shui Banxia came from behind and put on a coat for Cang Xuelan, "Now that the weather is slowly cooling, you already have an old disease, you should pay more attention." ”

For Wei Rong, Shui Banxia is not a living person, this general's side room is often accompanied by Cang Xuelan, and now that he sees it, he doesn't feel embarrassed, and salutes her generously.

"Okay, you go down, these days to nourish your spirits, Miss Wen's poisoning has not been clarified, the Nine Emperors are coming soon, this small Changzhou City, I'm afraid it will be peaceful."

Outside the inn, the cold wind hunted, slapping on the doors and windows, like evil ghosts knocking on the door, late autumn is over, and the cold winter is coming.

Dazhou is vast, each state city has its characteristics, Fenzhou is cold all the year round, there is an old rival Dahao next to it, Xuzhou is four seasons, but the land is barren, has been very poor, bandits are rampant in the state city, compared to Changzhou is much better, even in winter, there is rarely snow, but for the Nine Emperors, the best place, naturally is the capital.

The palace of the capital has an ice cellar in summer, a dragon in winter, and fresh fruits and vegetables in all seasons.

As soon as he saw the beautiful little palace maid wiping his tears on him, he was soft-hearted, and picked a flower with his hand, and picked it to the queen's mother.

Now it has ended up in a bitter cold place, alas......

"Your Highness, it's here."

The Nine Emperors opened the curtain, looked up, the Changzhou two-word plaque came into view, after years of wind and sun, this plaque has long been old and destroyed, at first glance, I thought it was Jiaozhou.

With a smile on his face, Lord Chang bowed to the Nine Emperor Princes, but before he could speak, he heard the Nine Emperor Princes muttering, "What a broken place......

Master Chang immediately said: "Your Highness is tired of traveling and driving, I'm afraid that I'm tired, the lower officials have already prepared the meal, and also arranged the other courtyard, does Your Highness want to eat first, or repair first?" ”

"Let's eat, I've walked all the way, and I've starved to death of this king."

As soon as the words fell, a black-bottomed gold-patterned boot fell to the ground, and a young man stepped down from the sedan chair, wearing a purple and gold crown, wearing a dark pattern jujube red robe, a dark leather belt around his waist, and a piece of mutton fat white jade tied to the belt.

What makes Cang Xuelan care more is the bright eyes, as if she has never encountered setbacks or been bullied.

That's right, he is the Nine Emperor Princes, the emperor's favorite son, who doesn't hold and protect him?

Cang Xuelan and Governor Chen had no intention of currying favor with the Nine Emperor Princes, one of them was full of important cases, and the other was in their hearts about how much food and salary they would get from the imperial court, so they only followed the rules, saluted the Nine Emperor Princes, and let Lord Qi pat the beard and slip the horse.

But he didn't want the Nine Emperors' eyes to light up as soon as he saw Cang Xuelan, so he leaned over and said with a smile: "This is the world-famous God Killer General Cang?" Why do you look like a girl? ”

Cang Xuelan raised her eyebrows and smiled good-naturedly: "I thought His Highness was praising me." ”

Lord Qi was afraid that these two nobles would quarrel, so he hurriedly came out to play a round, half-pulled and half-pulled, and took the Nine Emperors away.

Governor Chen snorted coldly: "I didn't expect Your Majesty to send such a prince. ”

"It seems that Lord Chen knows this Nine Emperor Princes."

"I realized that I couldn't talk about it, but I heard more rumors," Governor Chen looked Cang Xuelan up and down, and said: "This Nine Emperor Prince loves beauty, wine, and food the most, General Cang should be careful himself." ”

Cang Xuelan stood alone in the wind, until Governor Chen was gone, and she didn't react.

He turned back to Wei Rong and asked, "This Nine Emperor Princes is very different from what I thought. ”

Wei Rong snorted coldly: "Straw bales made of gold are still straw bales. ”
