Zhong Ling's gaze swept over them.

"You are all soldiers I have led, and you know my methods, not to mention that I still have the Queen Mother and the concubine in my hands, you weigh it carefully!"

The tone was irresistibly majestic, and everyone looked at each other, and no one dared to step forward.

Zhong Ling stopped outside the hall.

"Where's Yunxi?"

"Zhong Ling, if you kill the mourning family today, the mourning family dares to guarantee that you will not walk out of the palace alive, if you stop now, the mourning family will open the net and spare you from dying!"

The corners of Zhong Ling's mouth raised slightly: "At this point, the Queen Mother is still so confident, which really makes me admire, but the minister is frightened, and he is not afraid of threats, saying, Yunxi!" ”

"If you have the guts today, you will kill the mourning family!" The Queen Mother sneered.

At this point, Zhong Ling didn't care much about the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, secretly exerted force in his hands, watched the blood gushing out of the skin between the queen mother's neck, and said softly: "Treat the queen mother, the minister actually didn't use any strength, but the queen mother is pampered, and the fine skin and tender meat really can't help tossing, Yunxi has accompanied me to fight in the north and south for many years, and I am a family member who was born and died, but I don't hesitate to ignore the queen mother's phoenix body for him, if the queen mother doesn't believe it, you can give it a try!" ”

The queen was fearless, closed her eyes, and said coldly: "You killed the mourning family today, and when the emperor comes back in the future, he will not let you go, let's give it a try, the mourning family wants to see, you exchange the lives of dozens of your Zhong family for the lives of the mourning family, is it worth it!" ”

"Cloud ...... Yun Xi is in the prison! Hua Rong, who was beside the Queen Mother, knelt on the ground.

Zhong Ling couldn't help but chuckle: "Look, isn't there someone else who understands?" ”

The Queen Mother opened her eyes and was furious: "Huarong, you ......"

"The Queen Mother, your phoenix body is important, if something happens to you, how should the slave and maid explain to the emperor?"

"Mama, please take me to the prison!" Zhong Ling smiled kindly.

Thinking about it, she doesn't have anything to do, she just wants to take the people close to her and retreat, this palace that eats people and doesn't spit out bones, she doesn't want to come again in her life!

With Hua Rong coming to the prison, with the queen mother in his hands, it was really a lot better, Yun Xi was brought up from the prison after a short time, Zhong Ling looked at him carefully, except for a few whips on his back, he was not injured.

Zhong Ling took out a dagger from his sleeve and threw it over.

"Boy, got it!"

The corners of Yun Xi's mouth raised a violent smile: "The general is so heroic, his subordinates naturally won't embarrass the general!" ”

After that, he walked behind Zhong Ling and protected Gu Siran behind him.

Outside the palace gate, Zhong Ling let go of the Queen Mother and pushed people into the palace.

Hua Rong hurriedly greeted him and said anxiously: "Is the Queen Mother okay?" ”

The Queen Mother stretched out her hand to wipe the blood from her neck, waved her hand, and the soldiers stationed outside the palace gate stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Queen Mother, the archers have been arranged on the city tower, just that."

As soon as you give the order, you will fire thousands of arrows, so that they will not be able to leave this palace! ”

Not far away, Gu Siran seemed to be aware of it, and resolutely walked out of the protective circle of the two of them, and stood in front of Zhong Ling, facing the city tower.

Zhong Ling shouted: "Siran, are you crazy? ”

A chill crossed the Queen Mother's eyes: "If you hurt the emperor's baby bump, it will be difficult to explain when he comes back, and these clowns who jump off the beam on the left and right will not be able to get out of the clouds, let them be free for a few days!" ”

With that, he walked to the palace, the city gate was slowly closed, and the sky was already dark.

Gu Siran fell into Zhong Ling's arms with all her strength, and smiled miserably: "I'm tired of you doing such a dangerous thing for me." ”

"Let's go, I'll take you home!" Zhong Ling took Gu Siran in his arms and walked slowly along the long street.

Gu Siran was angry: "Okay, ...... go home"

Taifu Mansion.

There were heavy guards in front of the door, and Zhong Ling nodded at the two.

"I'm here to send the eldest lady home!"

The two guards in front of the door glanced at each other, and Qi Qi raised his sword: "Master Taifu said, there is no eldest lady in the house!" ”

"This ......"

Yun Xi wanted to say something, but Zhong Ling sighed softly: "That's it, go back to the General's Mansion!" ”

Taifu has always been stubborn, and now this matter is not something that can be explained clearly in a moment, so it is better to think about it in the long run.

Zhong Ling turned around with Gu Siran in his arms and took a few steps forward, but the door of the mansion behind him was opened.

Mrs. Taifu staggered out, and the butler behind her scolded the two guards angrily.

"Foolish things, you can also take seriously what the adults said for a while, this is the eldest lady's home, how dare you not let the young lady come back?"

Mrs. Taifu looked at Gu Siran, who was thin and almost out of shape in Zhong Ling's arms, covered her mouth, and couldn't stop crying.

"Madam, Si Ran has suffered a lot, and most of the rumors from the outside world are not credible!"

Mrs. Taifu took a deep breath, wiped the tears on her face, and choked up: "The child I raised myself, I naturally know what kind of character she is, child, thanks to you today!" ”

Zhong Ling couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I'm just afraid that I'm going to drag down Master Taifu!" ”

Following Mrs. Taifu into the house, Zhong Ling carried Gu Siran back to the wing room, the furnishings were still the same, spotless, and even the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table were always ready, as if Gu Siran had never left.

Zhong Ling carefully put the person on the collapse, turned around, saw the bow and arrow on the desk, and had a lot of thoughts for a while.

When she was a child, she was very skinny, and she mixed with the boys in the city all day long, her father thought she had no rules, and sent her to Taifu here, just hoping that Taifu could train him one or two, and it was also here that she met Lu Chaoge and Gu Siran, and every time she stayed in Gu Siran's room to make bows and arrows by learning to read, these things were always there.

Zhong Ling raised her hand and picked up a bow and arrow, it was her handwriting, sharpening the wood, and the workmanship was very rough.

The door was suddenly slammed open, and Taifu's angry voice was in his ears

Bian sounded: "What about that unscrupulous girl?" ”

Mrs. Taifu was bowing her head to wipe away her tears, and when she saw him coming, she hurriedly stood up, lowered her voice and warned him: "Be quiet! ”

Zhong Ling saluted him, and the person on the bed suddenly let out two whispers.

"Dad, mother......"

The poor gray-haired Taifu burst into tears in an instant, but he still endured it, turned his face away, and didn't want to look at her.

Zhong Ling put down his bow and arrows, stepped forward, and said with a wry smile: "Master Taifu must have misunderstood Siran, it is rumored that she has brought disaster to the country and the people, but the king of a country is not in the palace, even if she has great ability, there is nothing she can do!" ”

"What?" Taifu's face was full of shock.

Zhong Ling told him the cause and effect, and Taifu's body trembled like a leaf in the wind.

"The old man has a daughter who has been young for half his life, and that's how he Lu Chaoge treats her?"

"Master, be careful!" Mrs. Taifu couldn't stop crying, but she was still afraid of the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, and reminded Mrs. Taifu not to lose her sense of proportion.

Zhong Ling knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the two, and Mrs. Taifu hurriedly squatted down to help her: "Child, what are you doing, you brought Siran out, we are grateful that you are too late!" ”

"Zhong Ling can't afford to the second elder, this time he left the palace, but he actually held the queen mother hostage to get out, I'm afraid that Lu Chaoge will return to the court, and he won't let go of the Taifu Mansion and the General's Mansion, and ask the second elder to make plans early!"

Thinking that Taifu's temperament must teach her a good lesson, Zhong Ling knelt on the ground, uneasy for a long time, and stretched out a hand in front of him.

Zhong Ling stood up along Taifu's hand with some confusion.

"You were stubborn when you were a child, and the old man told your father at that time that you are not a thing in the pool, and sooner or later you will do something shocking, and now since Lu Chaoge is unkind, why should he be stationed in the country for him, since he is offended, then he will simply offend completely! Good boy, Si Ran has to work hard for you to take care of! ”

"What about you?" Zhong Ling was a little nervous.

Taifu laughed loudly: "The king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die, the first emperor entrusted the old man with the important task on his deathbed, and the old man naturally can't be ashamed of his trust in the first emperor!" ”

"The concubine and the master advance and retreat together!" Mrs. Taifu clenched Taifu's hand, and the two looked at each other and smiled, young husband and wife, everything is needless to say.

Zhong Ling gritted his teeth, knowing that persuasion was useless, so he choked up and said to take care.

Back at the General's Mansion, it was almost dark, the house was brightly lit, Father Zhong was sitting at the table, heard the sound, and hurriedly greeted him.

"The emperor sent someone to announce the decree, saying that you committed a crime and sent you to the prison, how did you get out?"

"I held the Queen Mother hostage!" Zhong Ling sat down at the table, picked up the teapot and took a big sip of water.

Father Zhong's face darkened, Yun Xi saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly stepped forward to play a round: "The emperor is not in the palace, the queen mother saw us, and indiscriminately pressed me into the prison, and imprisoned the general and the concubine Niangniang in Cuihua Palace, this matter is not the general's fault, and it is also a last resort to hold the queen mother hostage!" ”

Father Zhong obviously didn't pay attention to right and wrong, his eyes widened, and he asked, "The emperor is not in the palace?" ”

"It's not that the third brother went to war alone at all, he didn't write a reply, it was because Lu Chaoge was by his side, Lu Chaoge invaded wantonly, regardless of the country, and he wanted a woman to bear the infamy for him, father, such a person, what else does the Zhong family have to assist?"

Father Zhong pondered for a moment and said: "Xiao Wu, your third brother replied, saying that he would return home in three days, you held the Queen Mother hostage this time, I am afraid that the emperor will come back, and he will not let you go easily, you leave quickly, it is best to never come back!" ”

"The Queen Mother said that she wants to destroy the Manchu clan of the Zhong family, and her daughter will advance and retreat with the Zhong family, and she will not leave!" Zhong Ling shook her head, since she had held the Queen Mother hostage, she naturally knew the consequences of doing so.

Father Zhong wanted to persuade again, but Zhong Ling waved his hand: "Daddy doesn't need to persuade again, didn't you teach your daughter from a young age, run away if you make a mistake, it's not a gentleman's doing, your daughter shouldn't be a turtle with a shrunken head, now that she is sleepy, her daughter goes back to the room to sleep, and you can rest early!" ”

With that, he went straight to the bedroom and closed the door to isolate the sound outside.

If Father Zhong's temper came up, he would definitely have to argue, and he was about to step forward, Yun Xi hurriedly grabbed him.

"Old general, since the general has made up her mind, you don't have to embarrass her, the emperor is not benevolent, why do we need to give him face, fight to the death!"

"You are confused! With her alone, how can she fight against thousands of troops? ”
