Heroes have been on the battlefield and live up to their home and country.

Nowadays, the court of Qi is divided into two factions, one is headed by Chu Taishi, and the other is headed by the royalist, and the two forces have been fighting for decades.
When the first emperor was on the throne, Chu Taishi was the confidant of the first emperor, holding two-thirds of the rights of the imperial court, and after the death of the first emperor and the new emperor's accession to the throne, Chu Taishi's power had reached its peak, and almost all the Chinese in the imperial court were his protΓ©gΓ©s, and they were still heavily armed.
If you really want to force the palace to rebel, it will definitely be a yellow robe.
But no one knows why the high-ranking and powerful Chu Taishi did not rebel, but he did not let go of power, as if he was playing with the new emperor as a puppet, but this also allowed the royalists to breathe, and they could secretly strengthen their power and look for opportunities to cut off Chu Taishi's right-hand man.
Half a year ago, the eldest prince of Chu died on the battlefield of the battle with Zhao State, although he was able to recover the border pass city victoriously, but it also led to the Chu Taishi city government deeper, and the control of military power became more and more heavy.
And half a month ago, the imperial concubine was discovered by the emperor to have fornicated with someone, and now she was removed from the concubine and locked in the cold palace, and the fetus unfortunately slipped in March, and her body was extremely weak and dying.
Taishi Chu wanted to visit the palace when he saw him, but the emperor changed his cowardice and incompetence, and strongly refused to see him on the grounds that it was inconvenient for the time being.
This series of shots, on the surface, the royalists did not make any moves, but everyone knew that they couldn't wait, and they couldn't wait for the fall of Taishi Chu and take back the power to the royal family, or they had a strong strength as a pillar, and they didn't have to be afraid of the forces behind Taishi Chu.
Chu Taishi is old, now the eldest son died in battle, the second son is frail and sickly, and he is sick in bed all the year round, the eldest daughter, who is now the imperial concubine, was beaten into the cold palace and can no longer get pregnant after being diagnosed and treated by the imperial doctor, and after a series of blows, she is crazy, and the remaining little daughter is the cardamom years.
In this contrast, many of the party members in the court who were originally motivated by interests turned to the royalists, some of them were very determined to follow, and some of them took a wait-and-see attitude.
And when everyone thought that Taishi Chu would fight back against the royalists, they saw that he was sick and closed his door.
"Get out of the way, whoever dares to stop me again, there will be no mercy!" Chu Xuan held a sharp sword in her hand, dressed in a red power suit, staring at the dozen or so soldiers blocking in front of her with her cold eyes, and when she was angry, she had the momentum of Master Chu.
Several people looked at each other, and the man in Xuanyi who was the leader of them looked cold, judging from his fist-shaking movements, he was obviously a master, and he was neither humble nor arrogant: "Miss, the master has instructed that you can't leave the Chu Mansion." β
Scold! It was the crisp sound of the sword unsheathed.
Even though his facial features were a little immature, his eyes were extremely sharp, and the end of the sword was only one centimeter away from Jiang Han's neck, Chu Xuan's eyebrows were pressed down, and he said in a deep voice: "Jiang Han, you can't beat me." β
A strand of hair cut off by a sharp sword fell lightly, Jiang Han didn't even look at it, he still bent over, and this time there was some admiration in his words: "I know, with Miss's current martial arts, you can kill me in a few moves." β
He is Miss's last martial artist, but what he can teach is only the experience of the rivers and lakes and assassination skills, in terms of martial arts and internal strength, he has long been compared, after all, Miss is a rare martial arts wizard.
Chu Xuan bowed his head slightly, and said sharply: "Then get out of the way!" β
Jiang Han still didn't move: "The Taishi has given a death order, and the young lady must not leave the mansion now." If the young lady insists on going out, then step over the corpses of her subordinates first. β
"That's what you said." Chu Xuan even had a cold glow on the tips of his eyebrows, and the tip of the sword was pointed at Jiang Han's neck, and he could take off the head with a little force.
When the two were nervously confronted, Master Chu came from the side courtyard in a lilac robe, his hair was half white, his appearance was getting old, but he could vaguely glimpse the handsomeness of his youth, and said in a low voice: "Xuan'er, where are you going." Also, your Uncle Jiang treats you well on weekdays, how can you see each other, isn't it very rude. β
He looked at it with a straight face, but his deep eyes were full of doting.
Chu Xuan frowned and was dissatisfied when he heard this, but he still obediently put the sword into the sheath, "Dad, I want to go to the palace to avenge my eldest brother." β
She was 8 years old when she came in, and her eldest sister was ten years older than her, and she had already entered the palace as an imperial concubine, and her relationship was not very good. I played very well with my two brothers, and I can say that I love her as a daughter, and the three brothers and sisters have a deep relationship.
But now that she was killed on the battlefield, and the culprit was still sitting proudly on the dragon chair, how could she endure it.
Jiang Han bowed down towards Taishi Chu and said respectfully, "Taishi." β
"Jiang Han, continue to do your business." Master Chu put one hand behind him, and raised the other hand slightly to wave back, "Everyone else will go down too." β
"Yes."
When the salute dispersed, only their father and daughter were left in the front yard.
Looking at his daughter who was obviously still dissatisfied with his back, Taishi Chu just put his hands behind his back and clenched his fists and released them, and so on several times, and finally he walked to his little daughter's side, looked up at the blue sky, and sighed: "Xuan'er, you should know that if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan." β
Every person is destined to take responsibility from birth, either heavier than Mount Tai or lighter than a feather.
Chu Xuan's eyes were filled with coldness: "It's because I know that I'm going." β
"Xuan'er, what do you mean..."Taishi Chu withdrew his hand suddenly, and turned his head to look at the little daughter who was immature but was already like a sword out of its sheath, and his eyebrows were domineering and ambitious.
Of his three children, one of the two sons was too hard, the other too gentle, and only the youngest daughter was the most like him, both in terms of temperament and means.
He is not the kind of father who is not talented or virtuous, in the midst of the turmoil and hegemony, only the ability will not be eliminated and die, so in terms of education, the son wants to learn and the daughter must also learn, no one is biased.
It's just that he didn't expect that he wanted to protect his baby daughter who would be healthy all her life, but she was the one with the most ambition and skill to fight in troubled times.
Chu Xuan didn't answer and asked, "Father." After 40 years of planning, do you want to continue to be silent? β
When he said this, Master Chu opened his mouth slightly, and finally didn't say anything, but said: "Xuan'er knows why his father has endured it so far." β
Chu Xuan lowered his eyes for a few seconds, and his long eyelashes cast a shadow, "Daddy wants to sit in his position justifiably, not to be rebelled against by the world." β
Master Chu shook his sleeves, put his hands into each other's sleeve robes, his movements seemed a little lazy, and he squinted at his little daughter who was lying and didn't make drafts, he was amused, and said with a light smile: "Xuan'er really thinks so." β
"No matter what I answer, the father will not tell his daughter the reason, so why not take a reason that sounds righteous and awe-inspiring."
"Haha, among the old man's children, Xuan'er is the most like me." Master Chu smiled heartily, and he stretched out his hand towards Chu Xuan: "Come, now Father will take you to see the answer you want to know." β
Chu Xuan lowered his eyes and looked at the thick palm for a few seconds, and finally put his hand up.
The high-ranking and powerful Chu Taishi also has a lot of thick calluses and scars on his palms, which shows how much effort he has put in.
In the eyes of outsiders, the Chu family was originally a poor family, and it can have the foundation it has today, all of which are run by his father.
But she has seen the dead soldiers of the Chu family, this is not an ordinary foundation that can be built overnight, could it be that her father concealed other identities?
