At the crack of dawn.

Zhao Xuechi helped Chen Hao'er put on the last step of the armor. "Feng'er, don't say it, except that I saw you wearing this black armor at the gate of the palace when I went out on the expedition, now it looks like you are really decent from a closer distance."

Chen Feng'er smiled and did not speak. At this time, her heart is complicated. On the one hand, she really longs to go to the battlefield to be a good soldier who serves the country loyally, but on the other hand, she really has no bottom in her heart. Not to mention killing, in the past, she couldn't bear to trample even an ant to death, and the soldiers of Liang State also served their country, what a crime. Thousands of thoughts shuttled through Chen Hao'er's mind.

"Don't be in a daze, let's go." Zhao Xuechi patted Chen Hao'er on the shoulder and handed her sword over.

The last thing that came to mind before setting off was: Why is my journey so arduous and exciting......

The facts prove that Chen Hao'er is still too naïve.

The drums of war sounded, and the two armies attacked, like two black fogs colliding together. Chen Hao'er followed behind the black-faced general's troops, and as the vanguard troops, he was on the battlefield in an instant. Liang Bing's scimitar was about to stab Chen Hao'er, she hurriedly blocked it with her sword, hit again, blocked it again, and saw that Liang Jun had forced her back dozens of steps, Chen Hao'er finally relented and stabbed out with a sword. Although her martial arts are not strong, she is personally taught by Chen Huyan, and she is diligent in practice, compared with ordinary Liang soldiers, Chen Hao'er is more than enough.

The sword pierced into the flesh, and the sound was long drowned in the sea of battle. In the future, I have time to catch my breath, and another enemy is attacking in the back. Turn around and fight again. Chen Feng'er cooperated with the soldiers around her again and again, repeating the killing action, from the panic and panic at the beginning, and gradually became numb and mechanical. The black armor was already unconsciously covered with blood like Chen Hao'er's face.

As if he couldn't finish killing, Liang Jun poured up one litter after another. The comrades-in-arms around him fell one by one, Chen Hao'er couldn't hold the sword at all, and her whole body seemed to be exhausted. "Foot retreat! Get ready to set up! A roar came from nowhere. Several rows of soldiers with large shields rushed up from the rear, forcing the oncoming Liang army backwards. "Shoot the arrows!" Seeing that the situation was not right, Zhao Xuechi had already brought the archers down from the slopes on both sides.

Countless arrows flew towards the enemy. Chen Hao'er saw Zhao Xuechi's figure in the crowd, and she staggered over, "Sister Xuechi!" Zhao Xuechi was giving orders next to the bow and arrow cart, and saw that it was Chen Hao'er with his peripheral vision, "Hao'er, our cavalry has been ambushed, and we can't get there, we need to retreat." ”

The drums of war are beating again. This time, it was the order to retreat.

In the big camp.

"What?? The father was injured??? ”

Zhao Xuechi stopped Chen Hao'er, who was about to hurriedly go out of the tent to see Chen Huyan. "Feng'er, it is common to be injured in battle, General Chen's injuries should not be serious, you should treat your wounds in the tent first."

At this time, Chen Hao'er felt the sharp pain coming from all over her body. Effortlessly shedding his armor, the blood from four or five wounds had already stained Chen Hao'er's white cloth with traces. "I've called a military doctor, you can bandage it for the time being, and then come with me to see General Chen." Zhao Xuechi sighed and said.

After a while, a female military doctor who seemed to be about forty years old walked in with a medicine box, and after examination, she said, "Vice General Chen is all wounded by flesh and skin, and he will be fine after bandaging with some gold medicine." ”

"That's... Do you know how General Chen's injuries are? Chen Hao'er didn't care about her wounds, grabbed the military doctor's arm and asked.

"General Chen seems to have been seriously injured in the leg, but don't worry too much about the adjutant general, Li Langzhong is already being treated."

"Li Langzhong? Li Langzhong of the General's Mansion? ”

"Exactly."

After the bandage, the military doctor hurried to another camp.

"Sister Xuechi, are we defeated?" Walking side by side towards the general's tent, Chen Hao'er was the first to break the silence.

"Well, this battle was lost."

"That's... When are we going to fight again? ”

"I don't know, wait for General Chen to give the order."

There were dozens of people standing outside the general's tent, and if you looked closely, they were all Chen Huyan's personal generals. Chen Hao'er hugged her fist to one of them and asked, "General Zhang, dare to ask why everyone didn't enter the account?" General Zhang glanced back at Chen Hao'er and said, "Li Langzhong is treating the general, and it is inconvenient for others to be there." "Is the general seriously wounded?" "I was stabbed in the thigh, and the bones were visible." "That's... Is it a matter of life? "Hey, adjutant general, I don't know, but I just saw Li Langzhong's nervous expression just now." The black-faced general answered, "It was not a life, but the place where the general's old wounds did not heal last time was so heavily stabbed this time." Zhao Xuechi felt Chen Hao'er's hand holding her trembling slightly, "Generals, the general Jiren has his own natural appearance, everyone is tired, let's go back to the camp tent for a while, here I and Vice General Chen are waiting." ”

"Sister Xuechi, can we go in?" Chen Feng'er stared closely at the door of the general's tent. Although Chen Huyan is usually strict with her, Chen Hao'er can also feel his care and concern in life. He was a good father.

"Feng'er, Li Langzhong is being treated, let's wait for the time being." Zhao Xuechi patted Chen Hao'er's hand with relief.

Beijing, listen to the wind building.

Du Zhenhe and Yu Nian sat in the box at the corner of the second floor, listening to the storyteller in the lobby downstairs telling the secrets of the palace in a colorful voice.

"He's your guy, right?" Yu asked in a young voice.

Du Zhenhe scraped the tea bowl and did not deny it.

"You asked him to spread rumors about you in the capital."

Du Zhenhe looked up at Yu Nian, "What do you want to say?" ”

"In this way, he is inadvertently helping you win the hearts and minds of the people, and he is also trumpeting the incompetence of other princes." Yu Nian didn't answer Du Zhenhe, and said to himself, "And the reason why he is so arrogant, and no one dares to expel and capture him, is because the other princes know that he is your person and is afraid of you." ”

Du Zhenhe continued to be silent, looking at the tea bowl in his hand.

"Tingfeng Tower is also yours, so it was built near the General's Mansion. General Chen Huyan didn't want to be wooed by you, so you listened to him in this way. ”

"Are you finished?" Du Zhenhe interrupted. "It's good that you have a white heart for such a simple thing. For more than a few years, with your intelligence and intelligence, speaking out makes me look down on you. ”

"Since you believe me, you should let me make your power white."

"Don't talk nonsense. The plan to force the palace has changed. ”

"What?"

"Father, in the past few days, his health is really not good, and he is already bedridden. At this time, if you lead troops to force the palace, I am afraid that you will not be able to convince the ministers. ”

"And you're going to do that?" Yu Nian knew it in his heart.

"You'll go with me then. Without a single soldier, I'll talk to him. ”

"He's your father after all."

"I'm not going to do anything. Just persuade him to abdicate. ”

"What if he refuses?"

"Then he will immediately fall seriously ill and die, and I will still ascend the throne."

"Sooner or later, you will be the emperor, and no one can compete with you."

"The friendship between me and him is not that of father and son. It's just a monarch. Du Zhenhe paused and said, "He is old, and he is not as good as before in government and politics." It's just that now I can't listen to anyone's advice, and I always insist on doing it. Threaten me with the deposed prince at every turn.

I grew up in the deep palace, suffered humiliation, and after becoming a prince, I didn't see him care about any prince's affairs, even his studies. In addition to the government, he also left all his time for the harem concubines. So, no wonder my brothers are so mediocre. He is not worthy of being a father, and he is worthy of my mother. ”

Yu Nian never expected that the prince, who was known for his scheming in the city, would suddenly say this to him. For a while, I didn't know how to answer. Just stared at him steadily.

Du Zhenhe suddenly laughed, and turned his gaze to the storyteller who was talking about the wonderful part in the lobby, "And the county lord who is only fourteen years old, is ordered by the emperor to be with his relatives, and he is unwilling." But the emperor's order is difficult to disobey, who expected that the county lord would use a portable short knife to cut himself on the way to his relatives......"

Saibei.

"It's been almost two hours, father... Father won't have any ......," Chen Feng'er paced back and forth anxiously.

Li Langzhong lifted the curtain and walked out. Zhao Xuechi and Chen Hao'er immediately greeted them. "Li Langzhong... General Chen ......" Zhao Xuechi said hesitantly. "Two, General Chen's injuries have been stabilized for the time being, but the wounds are still somewhat infected. No more strenuous activities for 100 days, otherwise... There will be a fear for your life. Li Langzhong said with a solemn expression.

"Thank you, go and rest, you're tired." Chen Hao'er looked at the gray-haired old man with crutches in front of her, and couldn't help but say. Li Langzhong waved his hand and retreated.

Chen Hao'er and Zhao Xuechi hurriedly stepped into the tent. A mixture of herbs and blood came over us. Chen Huyan was lying on the collapse, and when he heard the sound, he turned his head slightly to look at the two. "Qiang'er......" Chen Hao'er immediately knelt in front of the collapse, "Father, you... You..."Chen Huyan raised his hand and touched Chen Hao'er's head, comforting, "It's okay for my father, I make you worried." Then he looked at Zhao Xuechi, "Xuechi, the Liang army may commit another offense at any time, you must not take it lightly and prepare for battle." Zhao Xuechi clenched his fists, "The last general obeys." It's just that, General, you need to recuperate, and stop worrying about the war, so I'll go and discuss with all the soldiers and report to you later. Chen Huyan nodded lightly and continued, "No matter how big or small, you have to discuss with me one by one. Thank you very much. Xuechi, you go down first, I'll say a few words to Feng'er alone. ”

Zhao Xuechi was ordered to retreat. It was the first time for Chen Hao'er to see Chen Huyan so embarrassed and weak, thinking of Chen Huyan's majestic and upright appearance on weekdays, her heart couldn't help but be sour, and tears flowed. Chen Huyan raised his hand to wipe away Chen Hao'er's tears, "Don't cry, there is no room for tears on the battlefield." "But father, you—" Chen Feng'er then wept silently. Feng'er, I kept you for my father to explain some things to you. Chen Huyan took a breath and continued, "I have always wanted you to become the same person as me, but I am a little selfish. But I can sense that you are interested in the battlefield. If I have something......" Chen Hao'er shook her head desperately, "No, no, no......"

"If something happens to me, you will take command for your father and finish this battle."
