Chapter 61 The Rebellion in the Capital
In the queen's bedroom, Chu Lian reported to the queen about meeting Bei Hao Ming at the Kaiyuan Inn today.
When the queen heard this, she couldn't help but be a little happy in her heart: Originally, she had sent a capable general to help, but she didn't expect that in the end, he, Bei Haoming, came by himself. After the matter is completed, he is unwilling to give Lin County to him Bei Hao Ming! I just made it!
Chu Lian was also very happy when he heard the queen's thoughts, and felt that the day he ascended the throne was not far away. Asked, "When does the Queen Mother decide to act?" ”
"The mourners ordered people to watch the sky at night, and at midnight tomorrow, the stars dimmed. At that time, we will attack from inside and outside the palace and check the banner of the Liao State into the palace! ”
Hearing this, Chu Lian immediately said, "The queen mother must not do this!" What do you do, you're rebelling! ”
"Humph! Rebel? Whose rebellion is it? The queen said with a fierce face, "The mourning family was originally the princess of the Liao Kingdom, and when the Chu Qi Palace led the troops to destroy my Liao Kingdom, I swore that I would kill him with my own hands, and now I finally waited for this opportunity, I want to avenge my father and queen mother, and I want to recover my Da Liao!" ”
The queen's voice became louder and louder, so that the word "recovery" echoed in the hall and could not be dispersed for a long time.
"Doesn't the queen mother think about the child?" Chu Lian said in an almost pleading tone, "If the queen mother does this, it will only make the child bear the infamy of treason and be scolded by future generations." ”
"My father will not pass on the throne to Chu Jiechen because of Chen Wenlan's affairs! At that time, the throne will definitely be mine, and then I will use the national strength of Daqi to restore the Liao Kingdom for the queen mother? Chu Lian cried bitterly, lay on the ground, hugged the queen's leg and said.
The queen became more and more angry and said, "Bastard! Those who do big things must be ruthless! What a big deal you can do with such a timidity! Besides, when Chu Qigong dies, I don't know if I will be able to live until that time in Guangfu Daliao! ”
"Bald wolf!" The queen shouted into the screen, "Take him away for me, lock him up!" I'll release it when it's done! ”
The bald wolf stood up from behind the screen, walked behind Chu Lian and said, "Fourth Highness, I'm sorry!" ”
After speaking, he picked up Chu Lian directly from behind and walked to the depths of the hall.
"The queen mother must not!" Chu Lian cried and shouted. But the queen didn't listen to Chu Lian's cry, and the bald wolf carried Chu Lian away without looking back.

At the three-fork junction of Linjun, Yuan Hao was ambushed nearby with 5,000 elite soldiers.
"General, it's been two days, and I haven't seen a single soldier from the Northern Desert. If you don't show up tomorrow, will Your Highness hand over all this military power to you? One of Yuan Hao's lieutenants asked.
Yuan Hao held a piece of grass at the corner of his mouth, lay on the grass leisurely, and said unhurriedly: "Lao Tzu cares about him!" If he asks me to come, I'll come, anyway, this world belongs to his Chu family. ”
"Behold! This Chu Juechen is just a waste of fame! Yuan Hao turned over, spit out the grass in his mouth, and said disdainfully.
"But my subordinates really heard that the attack of the Northern Desert in the past two days has indeed weakened a lot!" The pair would continue.
"Humph!" Yuan Hao said even more disdainfully, "Are you fighting on the first day of war?" Didn't you see that the Northern Desert had been attacking for so many days in a row? I'm sure there will be a bigger attack in the Northern Desert soon! ”
The lieutenant nodded a little understandingly, but then became worried again, and said, "Then what should we do now?" ”
"What else can I do? Raise your spirit here, wait for Chu Jiechen to ask us to go back to support! Yuan Hao stretched his waist and turned over to fall asleep.
At this time, the sun is warm on the April afternoon, the spring breeze blows, and the large expanses of lush grass are swaying in the wind. Who would have thought that under this silence, there would be 5,000 elite soldiers of Daqi!
On the grassland, the sound of the galloping hooves of the horses echoes in the endless grassland. The sound of horses' hooves immediately alarmed the sentinels.
"Who is that? Do you want to order the archers to release their arrows? The adjutant general asked Yuan Hao.
Yuan Hao looked at the figure of the man through the dense grass as if he had seen it somewhere, and the archers around him saw that Yuan Hao did not react, so he silently tightened the bowstring.
Isn't this the bodyguard of the Third Highness? Yuan Hao suddenly thought of this figure, and it turned out that he had seen it in the hall that day.
"Put it all down, your own people!" Yuan Hao said impatiently to the people underground.
It must have been for Lao Tzu to go back, Chu Juechen finally knew what he had done wrong with the kid! Yuan Hao secretly thought happily in his heart.
In the midst of stealing fun, Sui Liming had already arrived in front of him.
"What did General Sui do when he came this time!" Before Sui Liming could speak, Yuan Hao asked.
"Your Royal Highness has an order, but I have come to assist General Yuan!" Sui Liming replied.
"Assistance?" Yuan Hao couldn't help laughing, "Where do I need your help, I'm very comfortable now!" ”
Sui Liming knew that Yuan Hao was laughing because he thought that Chu Juechen had even let him be stationed here. "General Yuan doesn't need to be in a hurry, you won't be comfortable in the near future." Sui Liming said.
"General Sui, it's not that the last general is questioning the decision of the Third Highness, it's just that everyone can see that now the Northern Desert is adjusting its forces and preparing for a bigger attack. Does His Highness put us in this place and what is the effect? Now the most anxious thing is the front line! Although Yuan Hao didn't care about it, after all, he was a citizen of the Qi State, and he was also very worried about the rise and fall of the country.
"His Royal Highness must have his intention to put us here, and we will carry it out!" Sui Liming also ignored Yuan Hao's heartfelt words, and said coldly.
"Hey!" After a while, Yuan Hao let out a long breath, and found a place where the sun shone directly to continue sleeping.

Qin Liumo and Gu Ruoyu hid outside the capital until dark, and only returned to the Qin Mansion after making sure that no one was following them.
As soon as he returned to Qin's mansion, Qin Liumo told Qin Zhengyang about the afternoon.
"Nonsense!" Qin Zhengyang slapped the table and scolded, "Now is the most critical time, you still have the heart to play!" If you reveal the stuffing, your efforts will be wasted! ”
Qin Liumo also knew that he was wrong, and immediately admitted his mistake and said: "The child knows that he is wrong, but today's matter, the child feels very strange!" ”
Chu Lian and his doorman Chen Ji kept staring at the child, they didn't seem to be very familiar, and they didn't dare to come forward to say hello! There seems to be some awe! Qin Liumo continued.
"You said that Gu Yu made you up as a Northern Desert person, and Chu Lian was interested in that Northern Desert person! Could it be that Chu Lianzheng and Bei Mo have some unpleasant news? Qin Zhengyang stroked his beard and said, "Go!" If the rain is called! ”
After returning to Qinfu, Gu Ruoyu has been hiding in Ramadan and refusing to come out.
Didn't he just want to go shopping in the capital with that person, so he made Brother Qin as his! I didn't expect it to cause trouble! Gu Ruoyu blamed herself and scolded herself in her heart.
"Miss Gu, sir, please!" Outside the door, I remembered Qin An's voice.
Looks like something really got into trouble! Gu Ruoyu now even has the heart to kill herself.
"Die or die!"
Gu Ruoyu then stubbornly said to Qin An: "Wait a minute, I'll be here soon!" ”
Gu Ruoyu cleaned up, walked out of the door, and followed Qin An to Qin Zhengyang's house.
Seeing that Gu Ruoyu had arrived, Qin Zhengyang immediately said, "The old man is calling in the middle of the night, did Ruoyu disturb your rest?" ”
Gu Ruoyu didn't dare to say a word more, so she replied cautiously, "No, no, my niece hasn't slept yet!" ”
"Then the old man will get straight to the point!" Qin Zhengyang's face suddenly became very serious and said, "Who is the face you painted with Mo'er today?" ”
Sure enough, it's because of this. Gu Ruoyu didn't know how to answer for a while, just put her toes against her toes and didn't say a word.
Qin Zhengyang knew that something must be wrong when he saw Gu Ruoyu's appearance, so he continued: "Ruoyu, you don't have to be afraid, what is there to tell your uncle." ”
"I don'•••••• I don't know who he is?" Gu Ruoyu replied hesitantly, "I only met him when I was traveling in the Northern Desert, and I only know that his name is Wang Baiyi, and he should be a nobleman of the Northern Desert." ”
"That's all?" Qin Zhengyang continued to ask.
"There really isn't any!" Gu Ruoyu lowered her head guiltily and didn't dare to look at Qin Liumo and Qin Zhengyang, "I told everything I knew!" ”
"Oh well! You go back first! I have other things to discuss with you, Brother Qin. Qin Zhengyang reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said to Gu Ruoyu, after all, people are guests, and they can't be rude.
After Gu Ruoyu left, Qin Liumo and Qin Zhengyang looked at each other worriedly.
"Wang Baiyi?" Qin Liumo said to himself while walking in the room.
"Wang Baiyi? Wang •••••Bai ••••••" Qin Liumo seemed to have discovered something, and immediately walked to Qin Zhengyang's table and wrote the words "Wang" and "Bai".
"Emperor?" Qin Liumo exclaimed.
"What do you mean?" Qin Zhengyang heard Qin Liumo's exclamation and immediately stepped forward to ask.
"Father, look!" Qin Liumo said and showed the words he wrote on the paper to Qin Zhengyang, "The words Wang and Bai together are an imperial character!" ”
Qin Zhengyang stared at the two words on the paper and nodded, "His name is Wang Baiyi, so what does this word mean?" ”
"This represents the first, the eldest son?" Qin Liumo touched his chin and whispered, "It's Bei Haoming, the great prince of the Northern Desert!" ”
"Northern Desert Grand Prince Bei Hao Ming?" Qin Zhengyang said in surprise.
"That's right, through the conclusion that the name Wang Baiyi is reached, this person is the Great Prince of the Northern Desert, Bei Hao Ming!" Qin Liumo replied categorically.
Qin Zhengyang thought for a while and said, "According to what you say, this logic does make sense. It seems that the queen is really colluding with the Northern Desert and is ready to harm the emperor. It's just that the queen doesn't know that Jiechen is not dead yet, and Bei Haoming can't spare time to come to the capital! ”
"Jiechen only temporarily concealed the queen, but the child thought that the queen would definitely receive the news that Jiechen was still alive in the next few days. What shall we do then? Qin Liumo asked.
"If the queen doesn't do anything, let's look for other opportunities! If there is a war in the capital, there will be countless lives and deaths, which is also what I don't want to see. After speaking, Qin Zhengyang turned to look at the moonlight outside the window.
There was a curfew at night in the capital, and there was no figure in sight, only the sharp echo of the watchman. The silence of the night always makes people relax, but in this quiet capital, there is a tension that ordinary people can't see.
