Chapter 118: The princess escapes

"Lieutenant generals don't just talk about it, do you know what you're talking about. Dong Chuchen took the tea handed by the mandarin duck, took a sip, raised his eyes slightly and looked out along the edge of the teacup, his eyes sharp.

"But I can. Zheng Ziwei still had a frosty face, standing in front of Dong Chuchen, and his tone was not a kind of pride, but an innate majesty.

Qing Xihuan saw that Zheng Ziwei was too angry, and he couldn't help but worry.

"Have you led the soldiers?" asked Dong Chuchen, putting the tea down.

"Never. ”

"Have you ever been on the battlefield?" Dong Chuchen continued to ask.

"From ...... Not. ”

This is what Qing Xihuan called Zheng Ziwei to say, always afraid that if he told the things on the battlefield, Zheng Ziwei would be found out to be Zheng Ji's son, and in order to eradicate the foundation, he would definitely kill him, so he lied.

"Then, why does this king believe that you have done it?" Dong Chuchen chuckled.

Just when Qing Xihuan didn't know how to explain, a guard report suddenly came from outside the door.

"Report-" The guards rushed to the door and knelt down and hurriedly said, "Lord Wang! Su Jiqing, the general of the Hua Kingdom, and Jiangyin are attacking the city, and the troops are coming to the city without a five-mile road!"

"How many soldiers and horses are coming?" said Dong Chuchen solemnly.

"It's just that there are less than 5,000 soldiers and horses left behind in An Guoyu!"

"Less than five thousand to attack Luoyang Pass?" Dong Chuchen sneered, "Don't worry about him." If there is a siege intention, they will shoot it at the city without opening the city gates. ”

"Yes!" the guard turned to leave, but was stopped by Qing Xihuan.

"Wait!"

The guard fell to his knees again.

"Huan'er, what's wrong?" Dong Chuchen looked at Qing Xihuan in confusion.

"Can you see clearly, it's 5,000 people?" Qing Xihuan asked.

"Yes!" said the guard.

Qing Xihuan was puzzled, if the city was attacked, who would rush to only send 5,000 troops, and he had not heard of the war between the two countries, how could there be such a tactic?

"Let's go on. Qing Xihuan made an old mistake, and after thinking about it, he called the guards down. The guard looked at Dong Chuchen, and Dong Chuchen also nodded and said, "Go down." The guards finally bowed and ran.

"Newspaperβ€”" At this moment, the soldiers of Chengguan rushed to report.

"Lord Wang, General Zhang has already rushed out of the city to meet the enemy!"

"What?" Dong Chuchen was startled, and the order was still late, so he asked Zhang Ran to open the city gate and go out.

"I'm afraid there is an ambush, it's just a trick to lure the enemy, how can you attack the city with only 5,000 soldiers, Luoyang Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, they don't know. Qing Xihuan bit his nails and paced with his head down. Zheng Ziwei stood aside and listened quietly.

"What Huan'er said is right, I will order General Zhang Ran to return to the city and not meet the enemy. Dong Chuchen frowned.

"Never!" Just as Dong Chuchen was about to give an order, Qing Xihuan called Dong Chuchen.

"Why?"

"If you go to call back the general now, won't it expose that there are quite few garrisons in Luoyang Pass at the moment, and you are afraid of their ambush, if you really have opened the city gate, simply make the enemy frightened, and let them know that there are many soldiers and horses in Luoyang Pass, whether you have an ambush army, 5,000 or 50,000, you are not afraid, so that you can scare the enemy back. ”

Dong Chuchen felt very reasonable about Qing Xihuan's words, and he also admired Qing Xihuan.

"So, let's pretend to sit idly by?" asked Dong Chuchen.

"No, you immediately go to the city gate to drink tea and wait, just send the generals to compete before the battle, don't show your cowardice. Qing Xihuan looked at Dong Chuchen and asked, "How many soldiers and horses are there in Luoyang Pass now?"

"Thirty thousand. "Dong Chu Chendao.

"It's enough, even if you should fight for a while, you can deal with it for a while, now there is no time to ask Qingyuan to send troops, call a team of soldiers and horses to bypass all the grain and grass in Luoyang Pass, and then twist and turn back around the city defense, pretend that this team of soldiers and horses and grain and grass are coming from Zi'an to support, if they have an ambush, scare them back first." Qing Xi Huan pondered, biting his nails in his mouth and thinking carefully.

"Good...... I'll go and order. Dong Chuchen was impressed by Qing Xihuan's words, and immediately prepared to rush to the pass, but Qing Xihuan stretched out his hand and grabbed the corner of his clothes.

"What's wrong?" Dong Chuchen turned around and asked softly.

"Take him, and me. Qing Xihuan pointed at Zheng Ziwei and then at himself.

......

In the Grand Palace, Concubine Xian walked into the Yufeng Palace with a fan on her face full of spring breeze.

"See Concubine Xian Niangniang. Su Yu and more than a dozen palace maids around him bowed, and Concubine Xian walked in with Shu'er with her head held high.

"The queen mother, the queen mother, the queen mother, the mother!" Concubine Xian stepped forward to bow, and the smile on her face could not be hidden.

The queen rubbed the brain oil on her forehead, closed her eyes and frowned, and said, "What a great joy, I heard that the king of Pingdong and the princess arrived at Luoyang Pass safely, unharmed." ”

The queen summoned Su Yu and burned some incense.

"Niangniang, don't stick to a small thing, if it's a big joy, it's a big joy everywhere. Concubine Xian smiled.

"Then tell me about it. ”

"Yes. Concubine Xian got up and sat on the couch, smelling the fragrance of fruit trees in the house, and laughing happily, "The queen didn't know, first, this morning, the concubine heard that the concubine's cousin Wu Nanji was killed by Chen Jiayi in the Yawang Mansion today. ”

"What's a good thing?" said the Queen.

"Niangniang thinks about it, although Nan Ji is not a princess, she is also my father's nephew, the cousin of the concubine, and her status is here, if she is killed like this, wouldn't she have to settle accounts with Dong Chuhua?"

"Hey, Princess Zheng's matter has just passed, it's better to be cautious, Dong Chuhua's side, don't offend first. "The queen has an unbearable headache and has no time to scruple.

"But Niangniang, you think, if you say this in front of the emperor, my father will be angry again, won't Dong Chuhua be guilty?" Concubine Xian smiled sneeringly.

"Even if he accepts the guilt, it is Chen Jiayi who accepts the guilt, and he can't implicate Dong Chuhua, so it doesn't have much effect. The queen frowned.

"But when Chen Jiayi and Qing Xihuan come to visit, they can be punished and questioned, otherwise your majesty will be gone. Concubine Xian pursed her lips, rolled her eyes, and pulled the embroidered handkerchief.

"Today, the emperor is busy with important matters, and the palace has a headache, and the etiquette that was supposed to meet today has been postponed to tomorrow, so how can he still have the heart to punish anyone. The queen covered her forehead with a pained expression.

"Then tomorrow, if the queen mother is not good at talking, the concubine will come and make Chen Jiayi dare not speak up! ”

"Okay, there is a majestic person like my sister who shares the worries of the palace, and the harem can rest assured, but it's just ...... The emperor said that he wanted Shu Zhaoyi to share the worries of the palace, I don't know, whether she still wants to pass through her...... "The queen seemed to be worried, and her head hurt again.

"Whatever, what is she, it's enough to have me. Concubine Xian looked up proudly, suddenly felt speechless, and hurriedly bowed, "Niangniang forgive your sins, concubines mean, there are concubines to share your worries and solve problems, and the queen can easily lead." ”

The queen squinted slightly, only nodded slightly, and then continued to ask, "Then the second thing, what is the happy event?"

After hearing this, Concubine Xian showed pride and joy again, "It was the emperor who agreed to ask the princess to marry the emperor of Huaguo!"

"Really?" the emperor really showed joy, and he didn't forget to calm down while being happy, sighing.

"Hey, it's just that this palace is reluctant to give up the princess. ”

"Don't be reluctant to give up, the princess is dedicated to the country, and marrying the emperor of Huaguo is not marrying the common people, so she won't be bitter. ”

"It's a pity, if Concubine Su is still alive, as the princess's biological mother, wouldn't it be painful. The queen's face was slightly cold, and she didn't know if it was because of the headache.

"Unfortunately, she died. Concubine Xian hooked her lips and pulled out an evil smile. The queen looked at Concubine Xian's smile, her eyes were obscure.

Just when the two of them were whispering in the room, they only heard the little palace maid outside the door running in a panic to report.

Su Yu went out to listen, and when she came back, her face was full of embarrassment and panic.

"What's the matter, sad face. The queen looked at Su Yu, who had always been calm, and she was panicked, and she couldn't help but wonder a little nervous.

"Queen Mother......" Su Yu lowered her head, frowned deeper, and shouted on the ground.

"Oh no, the princess has escaped!"
