"Zhou's fall, Chu Jiasheng, thirty years in the east of the river and west of the river. The winner is the king, the loser is Kou, Chu Jiaerlang is a hero! Slay demons, slay ghosts and monsters, and the true dragon son of heaven descends to the mortal world! ”

It was only ten days later, and there were nursery rhymes and nursery rhymes in the city praising Chu Jingchuan as a hero of the world.

He was a big hero in everyone's hearts, and he won the victory and returned to the scenery. However, he obviously held the crown prince hostage, controlled hundreds of officials, and imprisoned the queen mother...... He has done so many things, but in the hearts of the people, he is still an invincible hero, and even more qualified to be called the "True Dragon Son of Heaven" than the current emperor.

Although these ballads have not yet reached the palace, they have been widely circulated in the city and are known to almost everyone.

It's strange and dangerous......

The night is hazy, and the breeze is coming quietly, rolling a little autumn, cool and cool.

Meng Xilan couldn't sleep peacefully because of the stinging pain of the wound in her abdomen, the skin and flesh that had recovered and regenerated.

Perhaps because her thoughts are too strong, recently, Meng Xilan will always hear a burst of ethereal piano sound at night.

At such a time, who else dares to play the piano in the palace? Meng Xilan only felt that she must have heard it wrong...... However, every night at this hour, the sound of the piano would come invariably, as if it had been agreed with her.

Every night is accompanied by the sound of the piano, and every night is a gentle and gentle tune.

Meng Xilan listened quietly, grateful in her heart, the person who played the piano far away.

She once guessed that the person who played the piano might be worry-free. However, Zhulu received reliable information that Wuwu had been sent out of the palace by the general and placed in the Chu family's mansion, waiting for childbirth with peace of mind.

If it's not worry-free, who will it be? Could it be Shen Dan...... Impossible, she is around the crown prince now, how can she have such leisure?

Guessing and guessing, she couldn't guess, so she simply didn't guess.

Zhulu came in to change the water, and when he saw that the master was still distracted, he couldn't help but sigh softly: "Niangniang, it's time for all the children." ”

Meng Xilan let out a soft "um", and then asked, "Zhulu, did you hear the sound of the piano?" ”

Zhu Lu's face changed slightly when she heard this. "The slave hears it."

Not only did she hear the piano, she also knew who was playing?

"Who's that man?"

"Hui Niangniang, it's the general's ......" said that, if you didn't see it with your own eyes, Zhulu wouldn't believe it.

A general who fought bloodily on the battlefield and killed countless enemies can actually play the piano and music!

Such a contrast is enough to make people shocked.

Meng Xilan frowned slightly, only to feel that she had just enjoyed the mood, and disappeared in an instant, replaced by a stomach full of entanglement and uneasiness.

"Where is the general now?"

Zhulu lowered her head: "It's in the pavilion of the lotus pond." ”

He played the piano there every night, not knowing whether it was for himself or for his mother.

"Zhulu, you go over and ask the general to come here. I have something to say to him......"

Zhulu was taken aback, and raised her eyes puzzled: "Niangniang, this is too dangerous." ”

Chu Jingchuan did such an outrageous thing last time, and Niangniang should be hiding now.

Meng Xilan saw through her thoughts, and only said: "My body is like this, he won't use force on me." I just wanted to talk to him......"

After such a long time, she and him have never had the opportunity to sit down and talk.

It's not an argument, it's sarcasm, that's not the truth.

Zhulu knew what the master still wanted to fight for, so she nodded and said, "The slave will go now." ”

Meng Xilan had no intention of dressing up, just waiting for him with a weak look.

Chu Jingchuan came soon, he was dressed in the night, and even his eyes were full of coldness.

On the sickbed, she was still as pale as paper, and she looked pitiful.

The two looked at each other, neither of them speaking first.

Zhulu retreated in a nervous mood, and secretly prayed in her heart: I hope that tonight will be fine, and the master will be safe.

"When did the general know how to play the piano?" Meng Xilan asked softly, and her tone was unprecedentedly gentle.

Chu Jingchuan pursed her lips and was silent when she heard this, her eyes slowly turned, examining the expression on her face.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Meng Xilan lowered her eyes slightly and said, "The general plays the piano every night, I don't know for whom?" ”

Chu Jingchuan looked deeply at Meng Xilan in front of him, and his eyebrows gradually wrinkled.

"I learned the piano when I was 10 years old, but I didn't practice much after five years. Niangniang doesn't remember...... Sure enough, the nobles are so forgetful. ”

His tone was slightly cold, with a hint of sarcasm.

Meng Xilan was surprised when she heard it, she didn't remember it.

Chu Jingchuan watched her eyes change, and shook his head with a chuckle: "It's okay, this is not an important matter." ”

She doesn't remember that he can play the piano, and I'm afraid she won't remember that when her grandmother had a birthday, she followed her father and brother to Chu's house as a guest. He once played a tune himself, her favorite tune!

Ever favorite ...... These five words crossed his heart sharply. Yes, he was also her favorite person back then.

Meng Xilan lowered her head and thought quietly, as if she remembered that there was really such a thing.

"I forgot, I'm sorry......"

Hearing this, Chu Jingchuan turned his hands behind his back, turned around and went to the window, and stood sideways.

"The last three words I want to hear in this world are: I'm sorry."

People who always talk about "I'm sorry" must be selfish people. What can be done well, promises that can be kept, and tasks that can be completed...... So much pay, so much expectation, just because of a "sorry" and vanished, the dust is not left. It's also a kind of cruelty.

Meng Xilan's eyes flashed, and she only said to him: "I am indeed disappointed by you, and a thousand words can only be turned into this one sentence in the end." ”

Chu Jingchuan shook his head: "I don't need your apology. ”

Meng Xilan took a deep breath and said, "Then what do you want?" ”

Chu Jingchuan's back was straight, no longer looking at her, but looking at the scenery outside the window and said, "I want you!" ”

Meng Xilan lowered her head and smiled when she heard this, and said bluntly: "I am now a prisoner in the hands of the great general. ”

"That's not enough! I want your people, and I want your heart. He deliberately dragged out his tone, and then uttered something extremely cruel.

"I want you to be 100% loyal to me, I want you to betray Zhou Youchen!"

Meng Xilan's heart sank, as if she had expected it, but she couldn't believe it.

"I want you to betray the person you've cared about all your life. That's what I want you to do. ”

After Chu Jingchuan said this, he turned around again, and when he saw that she was silent, he said: "This is your only way out, Zhou Youchen and Changsheng, you can only choose one of them." ”

Meng Xilan's body trembled slightly, as if she didn't know how to answer.

He looked into her eyes, not wanting to miss a single expression. This may be the most difficult choice she's ever made in her life.

Who knows, Meng Xilan didn't think about it for a long time, she closed her eyes slightly, and then nodded: "Okay, I can be loyal to you, as long as you don't touch the prince!" ”

Chu Jingchuan didn't expect her to agree, but felt that she was just perfunctory.

"Meng Xilan, you'd better remember what you said today. If you dare to perfunctory me, you will regret it. His tone grew darker, "You'll never be able to come back to him, never!" ”

Meng Xilan looked directly into his eyes: "Please wait and see, general." ”

She spat out the words lightly, with a faint killing intent.

Chu Jingchuan's eyebrows moved, and he reached out and stroked her lips.

After more than ten years of waiting, I got the kiss last night. And now, how long does it take for him to get her?

……

The strangeness of the capital soon caused panic in all states and counties.

What the hell is going on?

Xu Xuanwu's words caused a lot of opposition, but Zhou Youchen still listened to it.

He even doubted that his statements might be true.

Chu Jingchuan may have taken control of the capital, waiting for him to go back, and then kill them all.

He wants him dead? Or do you want this Beiyan's world? Although it all seems to be the same thing......

Take Cangzhou, but for half a month, the soldiers need time to rest.

However, they are also looking forward to returning home and reuniting with their families as soon as possible.

Sensitive people have already smelled the tense and anxious atmosphere in the army. This kind of tension is enough to make the army feel uneasy. And Chu Jingchuan is a heroic figure in the hearts of everyone.

Why did the people who swore allegiance to the court back then rebel?

The morale of the army has changed subtly, and some people even predict that there will be a battle between the emperor and Chu Jingchuan!

"General Chu is wise and powerful, and he uses soldiers like a god! How could the emperor be his opponent? ”

"Shh......h You guys are talking nonsense! Don't want the head on your neck anymore? ”

"What's wrong with that? Don't you know how powerful General Chu is? The Turks are afraid of him, isn't the emperor afraid of him? ”

"General Chu is a loyal minister, he has endured it for so many years, why should he rebel?"

"Hmph, if you want me to say, this is all the emperor's own doing! When the first emperor was still there, the Chu family was such a beautiful family, but after the emperor ascended the throne, he pressed General Chu everywhere. Only when the imperial court was about to go to war did they think of him...... It is also appropriate to bully honest people and be bitten back. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone sighed and shook their heads.

"Whether the emperor is afraid or not, I don't care about me, I just know that I am afraid...... I still want to save my life to beg my daughter-in-law. ”

"I'm also afraid, and besides, this can't be fought."

Everyone, you and I said it word by word, and I didn't notice Xu Xuanwu outside the tent at all.

He didn't mean to listen to the soldiers' night talk, but when he walked here, he had to stop when he heard the name "Chu Jingchuan".

These are extraordinary times, and if there are loyal supporters of Chu Jingchuan in the army, he is hidden in the army, ready to cooperate with the outside at any time, how dangerous it is.

After listening to the words of the soldiers, Xu Xuanwu felt a chill.

What to do? The morale of the army is so sluggish, everyone says their own words, how will the emperor lead them back to Beijing when the time comes?

And that Chu Jingchuan, who was the most feared person in his heart, did he really want to become his enemy?

And the emperor, the emperor pondered for two days, without saying a word, neither saying to leave, nor to stay, what did he think in his heart?
