Chu Qiao's fingertips turned white, and the voice of the former armor soldiers echoed in his mind again, like a beautiful wind music. γFengyun Reading Network. γ
"My lord, will you come with me?"
Chu Qiao shook his head and smiled faintly, "I'm going to stay here." β
He Xiao nodded and bowed, "Take care, my lord." β
There was a little dew outside the window, and the moon was big and white at night. Chu Qiao looked at the quiet moonlit night and muttered, "It's going to be windy." β
The Zhuge family sent three red-haired noblewomen, all of whom were sent by Chu Qiao, and some elderly women from the Jing family took the initiative to ask, but Chu Qiao did not agree. In the end, it was still Mei Xiang who was sent to the bedroom the night before she got married.
Mei Xiang, who has always been strong, trembled slightly with her hands, and put on a gold silk begonia Wen splendid Yunji dress for her, with gold luan pattern piping, small eight cai, peony pattern, decorated with eight treasures Yingluo, Tiancang jade, white Hetian, purple blood jade, gold medallion purple ribbon, full of pearls and emeralds, golden luan color wings, under the shining lights, it looks brilliant, splendid.
Mei Xiang's tears rolled down from her eyes, but the corners of her mouth were raised high, and her smile was as bright as a wave of smoke.
Chu Qiao stretched out his hand to wipe away her tears, and then hugged the woman who had been by his side for many years, the rouge on his cheeks was like a maple red in September, with a golden glow.
"Miss." Mei Xiang hugged her, her voice trembled, with an irrepressible cry, "Miss, Miss ......"
She couldn't speak, she just hugged Chu Qiao, called Miss one after another, and then burst into tears.
Early the next morning, Chu Qiao finally ushered in her big wedding day.
Bian Tang's ceremonial officials were guarding him, and he was completely in accordance with the etiquette of the princess's marriage. Luan Che set off from Zhuge Mansion and came to Bian Tang's other courtyard in Zhenhuang, first received the holy decree of the former Emperor Li Ce, and then received the gift of the current Tang Emperor Li Xiuyi, out of Zhuang Yi Gate, Qiankun Gate, joy and noise, sheng drums sounded in unison, red silk mantle, Zhu Jin was like red, and gold leaf frost and snow were scattered along the way. Zhenhuang sent a large number of ceremonial officials to accompany him, and the sound of drums and music was a gift of harmony.
The people are crowded, dense and as vast as mountains and seas. Eighty brides sat in a small Luan car, and after the Luan car, they were still a group of sisters and noblewomen of the Zhuge family. Chu Qiao's palms were slippery, and she seemed to be sweating a lot, and the red Xipa covered her vision, and she could only hear the sound of gongs and drums of joy.
Chu Qiao's heart became nervous for a while, the convoy gradually approached Sima Mansion, the road was already familiar with his heart, Chu Qiao knew that if nothing else, on the Peacock Bridge in front, Bian Tang's ceremonial official would hand over the wedding sedan chair to the ceremonial official of Daxia, and Zhuge Yue would pick up his relatives on the Peacock Bridge.
However, as soon as he reached Yueliu Lake, the Luan car suddenly stalled and stopped.
Chu Qiao's heart jumped suddenly, and almost at the same time, a simple and melodious bell suddenly came from the direction of Shengjin Palace. Fourteen desolate and solemn bells echoed on the wide long street, five long and nine short, different from the nine long and five short imperial voices that had been heard, the sound at this moment sounded solemn and depressed, as if there was a sound of the wind, whistling across this luxurious and splendid land.
All the voices of walking, standing, looking and busy stopped at the same time, and the heavens and the earth were silent for a while, and even the birds in the sky seemed to have stopped flying. I don't know who reacted first, and immediately after, everyone knelt on the ground and bowed in the direction of Shengjin Palace.
A huge cry rose into the sky and came from the direction of Ziwei Square.
Chu Qiao ripped off the Xipa, lifted the curtain, and the breeze blew on her sideburns, and the hair swayed gently.
It wasn't until this moment that she suddenly understood something.
Emperor Xia, died......
The ceremonial officials of Great Xia wept bitterly in unison, while Bian Tang's entourage was dumbfounded, not knowing how to deal with such an emergency.
Zhuge Huai rode his horse from behind, and commanded the team to return the same way with a solemn expression.
The breeze blew through the car curtain, Chu Qiao looked at the Peacock Bridge across the blue wave lake from afar, and the chaos in his heart was like a lake tide, rolling in waves. As the convoy drifted away, the Peacock Bridge vaguely turned into a stone pier with smoke, which was covered by layers of red and willow green, and could no longer be seen.
Chu Qiao suddenly panicked, and he didn't know where he was, as if he had returned to the winter day of Qianzhang Lake, and the two gradually drifted apart, and finally they were covered by heavy snow, and the sky was boundless.
She lifted the hem of her skirt and pushed open the door of the car.
"Your Highness!" A pair of thin hands suddenly clenched her, Yu Xiaohe looked at Chu Qiao who was about to jump out of the car in shock, and shouted in panic, "What is Your Highness going to do?" β
At this moment, a person in front of him turned his head, his slender eyes were like a cold and lonely deep pool, which was three points similar to Zhuge Yue, and it was Zhuge Yue's brother Zhuge Huai.
Chu Qiao's movements gradually solidified, and in the face of thousands of armor soldiers, she slowly closed the car door, and then leaned back in the chair, silent.
Chu Qiao was taken back to the Bian Tang Post House, and for a whole day, she sat in the room and didn't step out for half a step. In the evening, Ping'an came to report that the soldiers and horses outside the city were frequently moved, and the cause of the emperor's death had not yet been announced in the Shengjin Palace, and the people were hiding at home, and the people in the city were panicking.
After it was completely dark, the Bian Tang Post House was completely surrounded, and even Ping'an couldn't go out to hear the news.
On the branches of the moon, a noisy footsteps suddenly sounded outside the post house, as if a large number of people surrounded the post house layer by layer. Ping An ran out to negotiate, but only a slender man came in.
Zhuge Huai stood at the door, still smiling modestly, but his attitude was not as good as before.
"There is chaos in the city, please wait here for His Royal Highness the King of Xiuli, and don't walk around casually."
Chu Qiao nodded and replied very gently: "I understand, don't worry, big brother." β
Zhuge Huai smiled faintly, remained silent, turned around and walked out.
At midnight, the direction of Shengjin Palace suddenly sounded a burst of fighting sounds, bows and crossbows, screams, and gongs and drums that covered people's ears and eyes but were even more chaotic, mixed together.
Ping An anxiously ran in and shouted, "Sister, we are surrounded!" β
Chu Qiao was still dressed in a wedding dress, sitting on the main seat, holding a tea cup in her hand, and she didn't move when she heard the words, only her brows were slightly furrowed, proving that she heard what the child said.
"Sister! We're going to kill you! β
Jingjing put on a samurai costume and carried a small bow and arrow, and several elderly Bian Tang officials stood aside in panic, their faces pale with fright.
Chu Qiao shook his head and looked out of the door, half-clenched his fists, and a big red auspicious suit was bewitching under the candle flame, as if it was stained with blood.
"Miss, that Zhuge Huai is not a good person, he is putting us under house arrest." Mei Xiang also stepped forward and said.
On the second watch, the shouting and killing outside gradually stopped, and Zhuge Huai came to the door again, this time no longer making the slightest cover-up, and said calmly: "Please come with me." β
"What's wrong with Rong'er?"
"Don't worry, Li Ce and I have no grievances, as long as you are willing to cooperate, I guarantee that kid is okay."
Chu Qiao stood up and said very happily, "I'll go with you." β
Zhuge Huai glanced at her appreciatively and said approvingly: "The fourth child's vision is not bad. β
"Aren't you afraid of retribution for betraying your family?"
Zhuge Huai laughed, years of forbearance, presumably only to this day, he smiled lightly: "Betraying the family? How do you know that it wasn't the family that abandoned him? β
Chu Qiao's eyes suddenly narrowed, he meditated for a moment, and finally nodded: "I understand." β
"Sure enough, he is a smart person, and he can understand it at one point."
Chu Qiao asked, "What benefits can Zhao Yang give Zhuge Valve, is it worth taking such a big risk?" β
"Nothing good." Zhuge Huai said lightly, "It's just that if Zhao Yang is on top, Daxia will still be Daxia, and the gate valve will still be the gate valve; If Zhao Che takes the throne, Great Xia will become Qinghai, become Donghu, and where the gate valve will go, I'm not sure. β
Really. Chu Qiao nodded and stopped answering.
"The fourth child has been surrounded in Ziwei Square, only the three thousand soldiers with him, the other soldiers are outside the city, the Gyeonggi Army, the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, and the Green Battalion Army are all our people, and now Zhao Che's Donghu Army has fled out of the city to the east, he has no way to return to the sky, and it is a dead end if he continues to hold on. If you can persuade him to surrender, I can save his life. β
Chu Qiao raised his eyebrows, looked at him fixedly, and asked, "Is what you said true?" β
Zhuge Huai smiled, "There is no falsehood. β
"Okay, if you become a king or lose a villain, you have nothing to say, let's lead the way."
Zhuge Huai said: "Then I have to wronged you." β
Chu Qiao stretched out his hand and said, "Come on." β
Two saber guards stepped forward, holding ropes in their hands, and were about to tie Chu Qiao.
The room was brightly lit, and the shouting and killing outside had stopped, and Chu Qiao was dressed in auspicious clothes and looked free. Two large men stood beside her, one holding her arm with one hand. Zhuge Huai stood opposite her, followed by four personal guards.
The candles crackled, the wind hunted, and in the dark, it seemed that I had passed through the white time and heard the earnest teachings of the former instructors.
Shoot quickly, recognize the position accurately, have a stable mentality, and be ruthless......
At the moment when the rope was knotted, Chu Qiao's figure flashed, the whole person squatted down, staggered the guard's hand, shot extremely fast, and pulled out the sabers of the two big men with both hands like thunder, and forcefully slammed it inward, blood splashed, and a red light appeared!
Before the two screams could penetrate the eardrums, the two steel knives had been pulled out and thrown at once, piercing the hearts of the two guards who rushed forward. Chu Qiao stepped forward, reached out and took his wrist, strangled a man's neck, fell over the shoulder, buckled his wrist fiercely, and the click sounded, and the person's body fell to the ground in a strange posture.
Seeing that Zhuge Huai turned around and wanted to run under the protection of the only remaining guard, Chu Qiao pulled out a vermilion hairpin and waved it away. He jumped on the spot neatly, grabbed the guard's hair, and with one drag, tore off a large piece of bloody scalp, wrapped it around the man's neck, and twisted it hard, the man's legs struggled twice, and he immediately rolled his eyes.
Everything happened in an instant, Chu Qiao got the last guard, slowly walked to Zhuge Huai, who had a Zhu Hai stuck in his neck, took out a dagger from his boots, and said with a calm expression: "Becoming a king and defeating a king, do you have anything else to say?" β
Zhuge Huai's eyes widened and he struggled desperately, Chu Qiao's blade swung down suddenly, and a blood line suddenly flew out.
The gate was slammed open, and the night wind blew flat, calling for rolling up the yellow sand and falling leaves.
The soldiers all over the courtyard raised their heads at the same time, and saw a woman in a big red auspicious dress standing coldly in front of the door, carrying Zhuge Huai's head in her hand, her eyes were cold, and she threw the head on the ground with a casual throw
Outside the post house, the horses clicked, a large number of torches gathered over, the guards looked back in panic, but saw a red cloud flag on a white background hunting and flying in the torches in the sky, with the word beautiful on it. He Xiao rode into the door, holding a one-year-old child in his arms, and said loudly: "My lord, I am fortunate not to be dishonored!" β
Chu Qiao walked into the crowd without fear, and a general dressed in the uniform of a senior officer only reacted at this time and shouted loudly: "Brothers! Avenge Young Master Huai! Kill this ......"
However, before he could finish his sentence, a sharp arrow swooped in, piercing his throat with precision, bringing a strange crimson in the dark night.
He Xiao's face was expressionless, followed by countless black-armored sergeants, all holding crossbow arrows in their hands, like a group of stones that couldn't speak, looking at everyone in the field coldly.
A gloomy atmosphere floated in the field, and Chu Qiao was dressed in a red auspicious dress, embroidered with a pattern of Princess Jinluan. She casually picked up a war knife from the ground, turned over and jumped on the war horse brought by He Xiao, her eyes swept over the crowd in the field, and everywhere she went, the air pressure was low, like a layer of cold seawater.
Just look at the refreshing one
