Chapter Twenty-Three

Zhu Heyu stood proudly in front of the Chenghuan Palace, and his vigorous momentum frightened the eunuchs on both sides trembling. Until an old eunuch walked out of the hall, the holy former red man Jiang Gonggong.

Zhu Heyu ignored Jiang's father-in-law saluting him, and asked urgently: "Is my father awake?" ”

Father-in-law Jiang has probably seen the world, and he is not afraid of Zhu Heyu's vigorous momentum, and replied calmly: "The saint has just taken the decoction and slept down, His Highness should go back first." ”

Zhu Heyu clenched his fists, "Faint Jun! The word almost blurted out.

Chasing the wind stood on the outside of the Danfeng Gate, and saw Zhu Heyu walking like the wind, the two sword eyebrows were constricted, and the eyebrows were like out-of-body blades, so he guessed that Zhu Heyu's trip was fruitless.

walked to Zhu Heyu's side and leaned over: "Your Highness, since there is no result, it is better to transfer troops directly." The subordinates went to inform the West Lord, and asked the West Lord to quickly mobilize grain and grass and go to Huizhou first. "Although chasing the wind knows that direct transfer of troops is really a subordinate strategy, there is no choice now, it is better to give it a go.

Zhu Heyu refused to issue an order for a long time, and finally his eyebrows moved, and his eyes showed a cold light and said: "Go to Zhongshu Province." ”

Although Zhu Heyu holds military power, the emperor Zhu Yun is suspicious by nature and has always been afraid of him. In order to eliminate Zhu Yun's suspicions, he left half of the tiger talisman of the transfer of troops and handed over the other half to Zhu Yun. In fact, with his prestige in the army, why should he rely on the tiger talisman to transfer troops. It's just that the time is not ripe at this moment, among the three provinces, Du Yanzhuo of Zhongshu Province is in power, Menxia Province is fictitious, six departments of Shangshu Province are in the middle household department, and two military departments belong to Zhu Heyu. If you transfer troops without authorization, it is really disrespectful to resist the order, then Zhu Heyu has come to the cusp, either to the top, or to die without a place to be buried. But with his power at the moment, the result is destined to be the latter.

But the northern border of the small country Qiang Qi country rashly attacked, the Yuan Chen country is negligent in defense has been broken two cities in a row, now the two sides are fighting in Huizhou, from Huizhou over the birch branch mountain is Kyoto, if such as Qiang Qi to break through Huizhou, arrive at the city gate of Kyoto, although the strength of the Yuan Chen country is strong, but at the moment half of the troops are in Lingnan, Kyoto is empty, this result is unimaginable.

Zhu Heyu blocked the news, stabilized the situation, and reported to Zhu Yun in a hurry, I didn't think Zhu Yun was so mediocre, he stayed in Concubine Zhen's Chenghuan Hall last night, but he didn't go to the morning court this morning.

When Chasing the Wind heard Zhu Heyu say that he went to Zhongshu Province, he hesitated for a moment, and just wanted to say that Du Yanzhuo belonged to the faction of the prince of the East Palace, but after thinking about it, he thought that it was about the survival of the Yuanchen country, and Du Yanzhuo was afraid that he would not be so pedantic.

Zhongshu Province is located in the outer courtyard of the palace, and Zhu Heyu only took half an hour from entering to coming out. When he came out, his face was expressionless, and he chased the wind and said: "Since there is no play, then it is the opposite." Before the words fell, I saw several ministers not far away rushing in the direction of Zhongshu Province, and hurriedly withdrew their words, secretly admiring Du Yanzhuo's mind in his heart.

Zhu Heyu's eyes swept to the crowd, and saw that the leader was Cao Zhen, the prime minister of Zuo, and instructed Chasing the wind: "Tell Xi Susheng to prepare grain and grass, everything is ready, let's wait for the east wind to die." The word "death" in the last half of the sentence is said very hard.

When he returned to the barracks, Zhu Heyu rode his horse and whipped up, and there was wind around him. Thinking of the content reported in the jade flute's letter, what appeared in front of him was Zhu Ran's stubborn face. What is the survival of the wall, the life and death of the people, the fact that Zhu Heyu has to admit, the first thought that pops up in his heart is to worry about her - whether she is okay.

Zhu Ran was lying on the couch, his eyes looking at the roof of the shed, but his mind kept thinking nonsense. I wonder if Zhu Heyu already knows the news in the city? It takes two days to reach Huizhou from Kyoto, but if Zhu Heyu is not in Kyoto, is there still a hurry in time? Tens of thousands of horses need a lot of horses and carts for food and grass, what if someone secretly obstructs it?

Shaking her head, what is she thinking about here, Zhu Heyu has been in charge of the army for many years, how can she worry about herself.

"Ma'am, it's time for a dressing?" The jade flute sent a maid to change the medicine for Zhuran.

Zhu Ran looked at the wound in the palm of his hand, when he was in a hurry, his hand crossed the sword, and now it seems that the wound on the palm and fingers is indeed very deep, but fortunately it did not affect the muscles and bones, otherwise in this Huizhou city, it is difficult to find a doctor with superb medical skills, and this hand will be disabled if it is not wasted.

"It hurts! Madame bear with me a little longer, and it will be fine at once! The maid who changed the dressing saw that Zhu Ran was sweating in pain, her face was pale, she bit her lower lip, and her shoulders kept trembling, but she didn't say a word, and her hands trembled unconsciously.

"It's okay, you can change it quickly!" Hand and foot are connected, Zhu Ran can be regarded as experiencing it today. Although it was painful, my heart was relieved. If she can save the lives of the people in the city, what is her injury?

The sun was setting in the west, and it was about to disappear, and there was only one hour left in the two-day period. In the face of the enemy's provocation, the soldiers could only defend the city gates. The whole army held on to their breath and waited for Prince Ruixin's rescue.

"When?" Zhuran asked.

"Back to the princess, the time has passed."

"Dress up for me, I will go to the city tower and wait for the arrival of the prince with the soldiers."

If Zhu Heyu hadn't arrived when the sun had set, there would have been chaos in the army. Even if the soldiers continued to defend the city, their morale would be greatly reduced. The enemy outside the city is eyeing each other, and they are bound to fight hard. Winning or losing is self-evident. What can be done now is only to stabilize the morale of the military. How to stabilize the morale of the army depends on her role as the fake Ruixin princess. Even if Jade Di is capable, she can't compete with her identity at this time.

Zhu Ran stood upright on the city tower, and the hem of her skirt dragged the floor. The afterglow of the setting sun is no longer so dazzling that you can open your eyes and look straight ahead. The red glow in the sky is demonic, like blood flowing out, but it can't smell blood. Zhu Ran's eyes were fixed on the end of the line of sight. At this moment, she was so looking forward to Zhu Heyu's arrival.

"Open the gates! Open the gates! Zhu Heyu was wearing a silver-white battle armor, galloping on a horse, chasing the wind in front of him and wearing a black robe to open the way, one white and one black, running like the wind. The two were followed by a convoy of grain and grass, and at the end were the sergeants of the escort.

Finally came, he finally came, and there was even a hot current in Zhu Ran's eyes about to gush out, but then he thought that he used himself to get out three days ago, and the heat flow in his eyes instantly froze into ice.

The tense body was paralyzed, and Zhu Ran said to the maid beside him: "I'm tired, help me go back." Just these few words seemed to consume all her physical strength.

Back in the house, curled up and lay down, somehow groggy and unconscious, the scene in the dream was uncertain, one moment it was Zhu Heyu who was angry at her, and the other time it was Lu Zihan anxiously looking for her, she was standing next to Lu Zihan, but he just couldn't see it, couldn't find her. Hurriedly shouted: "Brother Lu, I'm here!" I'm here! ”

The sound of the porcelain bowl falling to the ground woke Zhu Ran up. When I sat up, I saw Zhu Heyu at a glance.

"The prince forgives his sins... The prince forgives his sins... Slaves... Not intentionally ......"

He only confided one word, "Get out!" ”

Zhu Ran thought to himself why he didn't say this word to himself, as long as he could leave him, no matter what way.

Thinking like this, I only heard him ask in a cold voice, "Who is Brother Lu?" ”
