After receiving Liu Che'er's emergency summons, Zhu Chaoshi, Xiao Minglang, and Tangtai Mingyue rushed to the lobby.

Huayan and Liu Che'er were already waiting here.

"The prince urgently summoned me and others, what happened?" Xiao Minglang stepped forward quickly and asked first.

Liu Che'er handed him the letter in his hand, "This is an urgent delivery sent by the shepherd, Minglang, take a look." ”

Xiao Minglang took the letter and read it carefully, and suddenly said with a stern expression: "The Queen Mother actually ordered someone to control General Zhu's mansion?" In my opinion, the next step is to send troops to seize power! ”

"What?!" Zhu Chaoshi was shocked, and said with a cry: "Then isn't my wife already poisoned by the Queen Mother?!" ”

Hua Yan stepped forward to comfort: "Don't worry, general, my subordinates will definitely protect the general's mansion." ”

Zhu Chaoshi wiped away his tears and saw that it was the painting Yan who was talking, and his heart suddenly felt a little relieved. He said gratefully: "That's nature, Taoyuan's ability is known to everyone....." He stood up again, solemnly leaned over and saluted: "Zhu has thanked me in advance." ”

Huayan flicked his sleeves and motioned for him to get up, "The general is polite, you and I follow the prince together, it is just a camp, just a gesture." ”

"So what do we do next?" Liu Che'er faced everyone and asked tightly.

"How much does the imperial court know about General Zhu's whereabouts?" Yutai Mingyue stepped forward and asked.

"According to the letter of the shepherd, the Queen Mother has been sending eyeliner to be placed around General Zhu's mansion, and the person saw that General Zhu had not shown up for several days, so he became suspicious, and the Queen Mother ordered someone to ask General Zhu to see him, but only then did he find out that General Zhu had already abandoned the city, and immediately blocked the general's mansion, but there was no action for the time being." Xiao Minglang turned around and replied.

"In this way, the imperial court may not know that General Zhu is in the Yidu Palace, even if he is suspicious, but the Queen Mother does not know the truth, and she will not dare to rashly provoke us, and the Yidu Palace is safe for the time being." Yutai Mingyue carefully analyzed.

"Now the safety of Tongzhou is the top priority, where General Zhu's 100,000 soldiers and horses are stationed, and it is the main goal of the Queen Mother! At first, General Zhu was still in the capital, and the Queen Mother didn't dare and had no reason to do anything to Tongzhou, but now General Zhu openly disobeyed the Queen Mother's order to go out of the city, and the Queen Mother had a reason to take General Zhu! Maybe she's been waiting for this day for a long time! Xiao Minglang clenched his fists and said angrily.

"Xiao Gongzi is saying that the Queen Mother deliberately let General Zhu go?" Yutai Mingyue asked incredulously.

Xiao Minglang nodded with a stern expression.

Everyone was shocked.

Liu Che'er suddenly came to his senses and said: "Since this is the case, don't waste more time!" He turned and walked to the Lord's seat and solemnly proclaimed, "Listen to you!" ”

"The minister is here!"

"Today's urgent need is to stabilize Tongzhou, and we must take advantage of the Queen Mother's troops and horses to strike first!" Liu Che'er turned to Zhu Chaoshi and said: "Ten thousand troops must not be leaderless, General Zhu, this king ordered you to rush back to Tongzhou immediately, lead the whole army, and fight against the enemy, are you willing?!" ”

Zhu Chaoshi leaned over and said resolutely: "The minister will never give up!" ”

"Good! This king orders you to set off immediately, and as soon as you are backed up by food and grass, this king will arrange it for you! Liu Che'er commanded.

Zhu Chaoshi hesitated for a while, and suddenly said, "Lord Wang, the minister has a reluctant request!" ”

"Although."

"Minister...... The minister followed the prince, had no complaints or regrets, and believed that the prince would definitely be a good monarch who would use his power for the people, his feelings for the people, and his interests for the people. The minister was also willing to shed blood for the prince, and used his life to assist the prince in ascending to the throne. It's just that the minister can't rest assured about something, and every time he thinks of this, his heart aches......" Zhu Chaoshi lowered his head and said suddenly.

After hearing these words, Liu Che'er felt a lot in his heart, and asked with concern: "If the general has any concerns, you can tell this king, and this king must be the master of the general." ”

A hint of joy flashed in Zhu Chaoshi's eyes, and he immediately knelt on his legs and bowed: "The minister implores the prince to take in the minister's daughter, Jasper!" In this way, the minister can go without worry......"

Zhu Chaoshi's implication was that he hoped that Liu Che'er would accept Zhu Biyu into the inner room, and everyone present would understand what he meant. But they were all too normal and uneventful, as if they already knew what was going on.

Everyone became silent, and Xiao Minglang stopped talking.

Until the end, Huayan still couldn't bear to let Liu Che'er make a sacrifice, she couldn't sit still anymore, got up and stopped: "If the general is worried about Miss Zhu's safety, I will personally protect her, and in the future, the food and clothing should be the same as my Huayan." If the general still has scruples, he can send my brothers in Taoyuan to take the lead for the general, what does the general think? Hua Yan said, with a threatening meaning, and glanced at Zhu Chaoshi.

What she means is that even without you Zhu Chaoshi, I can take your military power and go into battle by myself.

Zhu Chaoshi tried everything possible, but he didn't expect what Hua Yan said, he looked at Hua Yan with puzzlement, doubt, confusion, and fear, and he didn't know how to answer.

Liu Che'er's still face turned from a smile to a laugh, "The general's worries are also reasonable, you gave up your original position for this king and repaid with your life, this king is deeply moved." The jasper girl has also suffered a lot with her, and the king feels pity. This king is willing to accept the jade girl as a side concubine, I don't know what the general wants? ”

Huayan turned around and looked at Liu Che'er in a daze, never expecting that he would agree so readily.

Yutai Mingyue stretched her neck and looked curiously at the situation in the hall, never daring to speak rashly.

Liu Che'er's state of mind at this time, I'm afraid only Xiao Minglang understands it best.

He glanced sympathetically in the direction of Liu Che'er, and then moved his gaze out the window again.

"This ......" Zhu Chaoshi hesitated, he originally wanted to let Zhu Biyu be the concubine, but now that Liu Che'er spoke first, he didn't know how to make this request.

"If the general has any concerns, let's say them together." Liu Che'er said in a majestic tone.

Zhu Chaoshi immediately bowed his head and replied: "The prince is generous, and the ministers dare not expect other rewards." It's just that the minister's age is no longer what he used to be, and his ability to scheming is not as good as today's talent, I wonder if the prince can send someone to help the minister fight the enemy together? ”

Liu Che pondered for a while and asked, "Is there a candidate for the general?" ”

"Lord Wang, this matter is very important, let me go!" Xiao Minglang suddenly stood up and said.

What the?! Hua Yan's heart suddenly tightened, and she stood up slightly and looked at him quietly.

Liu Che'er looked at the painting hesitantly, turned around and asked, "Minglang, have you thought about it?" ”

Xiao Minglang looked at Liu Che'er and said firmly: "Lord Wang, from the moment the Queen Mother sent troops to Tongzhou, this battle for the throne has really started at this moment, and the princes are bound to rise and seize the opportunity to take advantage of the chaos!" Although we are more advantageous, we should not be careless, even if it is the first step to break through the imperial court, it can also abandon the power of the princes. Therefore, Minglang wants to take the initiative to apply to be stationed in Tongzhou and take the first step towards success for the prince! ”

Xiao Minglang's words were sincere, reasonable, and there seemed to be no reason for Liu Che'er to refuse.

Zhu Chaoshi also echoed: "Lord Wang, Xiao Gongzi's talents and ministers also know, with Xiao Gongzi's assistance, the ministers have double the confidence to complete the task!" ”

Yutai Mingyue finally stood up and said: "Lord Wang, Xiao Gongzi is good at scheming, thoughtful, and can strategize thousands of miles away, so he is the best candidate. The minister also recommended Xiao Gongzi to be stationed in Tongzhou. ”

Although Liu Che'er made a decision, he never spoke, he was afraid that Huayan would worry about it.

Huayan never spoke, she didn't know that Xiao Minglang was the best candidate, but she couldn't stop it, and she couldn't say anything supportive.

Xiao Minglang's trip can help Liu Che'er better stabilize his military power and lead the army, but it is also accompanied by danger.

She sat down slowly, and finally said in confusion: "The prince will listen to them......"

Liu Che'er saw that Huayan had no intention of stopping, so he stood up and came to Xiao Minglang, he held Xiao Minglang's shoulder tightly, and said solemnly: "Okay, Minglang, this king sent you as the commander to garrison Tongzhou and defeat all the enemies who came to attack!" ”

"The minister must live up to the prince's expectations!" Xiao Minglang arched his hand.

He kept looking away, not daring to look at Hua Yan, he knew that even if he looked at Hua Yan with a request, he would waver.

At this time, Limu suddenly walked in, he glanced around, and suddenly said to Xiao Minglang and Liu Che'er: "I'll go too!" ”

"Do you know how dangerous the road is? The enemies we will face are not only the imperial court, but the princes of all walks of life may also take this opportunity to launch a siege on us. Have you thought about it? Liu Che'er persuaded.

Limu glanced at Huayan, looked back, his eyes were sharp, and nodded: "I think about it!" Instead of doing nothing, it's better to turn him upside down! ”

Sheng Lan, who had been accompanying Huayan all the time, couldn't help but step forward to stop him: "Limu, don't make trouble, Miss won't let you go!" ”

Huayan looked back lightly, thinking for a while, she understood Limu's state of mind in the past few days, he wanted to do something, in order to prove himself, there may be a factor of Lilinlang.

He's older, and it's time to go out and practice.

"Go, leave the wood, come back with some merits, and make the third master happy." Hua Yan suddenly got up and smiled.

Limu bowed to Huayan gratefully, "I will!" ”

Xiao Minglang patted Limu's shoulder and said with a smile: "You and I will fight side by side, and we will definitely beat that group of people to the ground!" ”

Limu smiled stiffly, "I'll go back and prepare first." With that, he stepped down.

"Doctor, you arrange people as soon as possible and escort them on the road." Liu Che'er commanded towards the Ming Moon of the Stage.

"Minister, let's go!" Yutai Mingyue hurriedly lifted the long pendulum and strode out.

Zhu Chaoshi also retreated to prepare for the trip.

Liu Che'er looked around, suddenly walked to the table, picked up two wine glasses, and filled them.

"Brother Lang, please forgive me for the time constraints, I can only practice it for you here." Liu Che'er put a wine glass in Xiao Minglang's hand.

Xiao Minglang smiled heroically, "That's enough!" ”

After speaking, the two looked at each other, full of ambition, blood, and ambition collided with each other at this moment, and then raised their glasses to drink.

They have supported each other all the way to this point, and the friendship between them has long been deeper than that of brothers.

After drinking, Xiao Minglang finally mustered up the courage to face Huayan, "Yan'er, you are so good to stay in the palace, I ...... Went first. ”

Without waiting for Huayan to answer, Xiao Minglang couldn't wait to escape from the lobby.

Huayan got up and silently watched Xiao Minglang go away, with mixed feelings in his heart.

It's such a dusk again, and the sunset and the lonely bird fly together.

In the back garden, Huayan still came, and she wanted to say goodbye to Xiao Minglang.

Xiao Minglang seemed to have received an appointment in advance, and went to the appointment on time.

In the quiet flower path, but a sigh when I smell the falling flowers.

Summer is spent unconsciously in such a sweet atmosphere, and autumn is coming.

Huayan looked back at the people on the other path, and couldn't help but moisten his eyes.

When we meet, we are about to part.

I don't know what season it will be next time?

Xiao Minglang slowly approached the painting, and the falling flowers on the side of the road also knew how to leave people's minds, and they were hovered by the wind.

"Promise me to come back safely?" Hua Yan blushed and said seriously.

Xiao Minglang smiled and nodded, brushed off the fallen flowers on her hair, looked at her and said softly, "Wait for me to come back." ”

With a gust of wind, a green shadow gradually disappeared into the shadow of the flower.

The painting Yan chased a few steps, stunned.

"The tragic song of the strong man is not thorough, and the bird still knows that it is like a hate, and it is expected that he will cry tears and blood. Who is with me, drunk with the moon? ”
