Outside the most young and affectionate time ()

Just after winter, the snow has not completely melted, and the battle report flew into the Daning Imperial Palace like snowflakes. There were more than ten braziers lit in the Qinzheng Palace, and the hall was steaming, but Zhao Tuo was wearing a fur coat, tightly encircled, with a pale face without blood, and his right hand kept covering his mouth, coughing non-stop.

Feng Shun, the chief eunuch on the side, looked anxious, and didn't dare to persuade him, the last chief eunuch was bombarded with a lot of words, he quietly poured a glass of water and put it on Zhao Tuo's desk.

Zhao Tuo looked at the battle report intently, his thick eyebrows furrowed, and he sneered twice: "Okay, good, it's really a good brother, it's not enough to get half of the country, and now he has actually crossed the Yangtze River and is approaching my capital." ”

He snapped and closed the battle report, threw it away, picked up the red pen on the case, and waved it down:

ordered the soldiers and civilians everywhere to resist to the death, and strictly forbade the Northern Chu thieves to go further; The local government offices open warehouses to release grain, but if there are military personnel in the family, they can receive a bucket of rice and grain for free; Whoever kills another enemy will be rewarded with ten taels of silver......

No matter what measures Zhao Tuo took, the courage of the Northern Chu army was still beyond his imagination, and Zhao Ye, the emperor of Northern Chu, issued a strict military order, and those who dared to resist would be killed, without forgiveness; Those who surrender, pardon.

The war tilted towards Northern Chu, and in early summer, the Northern Chu army reached the foot of Ningdu.

Zhao Ye ordered the three armies to rest and recuperate, and at the same time sent a handwritten letter to Ningdu. There are few numbers on the letter, return to me what belongs to me, and I will not touch your things again.

But three lines of words, Zhao Tuo read it over and over again, and before he knew it, a thin piece of letter paper soaked him with sweat, he crumpled the letter paper into a ball, and said to himself: "My thing? Is there anything I can't give up? ”

He was stunned for a long time, called Feng Shun, commanded a few words, finished speaking, Zhao Tuo closed his eyes tiredly, waved his hand, and Feng Shun retreated in confusion.

Asked someone to prepare the car, and went straight to the mansion, Feng Shun came in plain clothes, Zhang picked him up in the living room, retreated left and right, Feng Shunqing coughed, and said in a low voice: "The emperor said, I have never blamed Mr., and this time I will protect him to the end, please rest assured." ”

Seeing Feng Shun away, Chen Yangluo turned out from behind the screen, Zhang Qiangyan smiled and said, "Don't worry, mother, I will definitely protect you and the child." ”

Chen Yangluo smiled faintly, bent over and made a big salute, straightened up, Zhang's face had changed, and he asked in a trembling voice: "You, what do you mean by this?" ”

Chen Yangluo's smile on her face was extremely faint, as light as a thin snow on the grass, it would quickly melt away as soon as the sun came out, and she said softly: "He said that he doesn't blame you, there must still be resentment, otherwise, why would he let you bear the lives of the people in this city?" ”

Zhang Yizhen, it's not that he doesn't understand, it's just that the former brothers are not willing to investigate deeply.

Chen Yangluo looked back at the inner room, where her child was sleeping, and she reluctantly said: "Yangluo has believed in Buddhism since he was a child, how can he be ruined because of the people in the city who were killed by Yangluo alone?" ”

Speaking of this, her face showed a bit of determination: "Please also ask the master to send me out of the city." ”

Zhang was speechless, tears crackled and fell, he wiped a handful of tears indiscriminately, flashed Chen Yangluo, hugged the bamboo that was still sleeping, and said in a thick nasal voice: "Just let this child give you a ride." ”

Chen Yangluo stepped forward and touched the little face of the bamboo lovingly, untied the Pixiu jade pendant from her neck and put it on for her, sighed lightly, took the bamboo from Zhang's arms, and looked at it again.

A family of three got into the carriage of the house, Zhang and Chen Yangluo were relatively speechless, there were noisy voices everywhere outside, since the siege of Ningdu, the Soldiers and Horses Division began to recruit the city's elite men, and collected cooking oil and horizontal wood and stone grinding from each household to prepare for the purpose of defending the city.

The city gate has long been forbidden to pass, Zhang had no choice but to show the customs clearance token obtained from Zhao Tuo in the past, and was strictly investigated, Zhang Ben wanted to send Chen Yangluo out of the city, but she stopped him, standing at the city gate and looking out, the flag of Northern Chu was in order, which was in stark contrast to the panic in the city.

Zhang hugged the bamboo, watched Chen Yangluo walk out step by step, hoping that she could look back, Chen Yangluo's back was straight, his neck seemed to be stiff, and there was no sign of turning back.

Zhang was bitter, unconsciously the strength of his hands increased, the bamboo was in pain, he woke up, his eyes opened and he saw the back of his mother leaving, and immediately cried: "Mother, mother~"

The scream was very clear, and for the first time since birth, Bamboo had pronounced the word so accurately.

Chen Yangluo's body froze, but then he trotted up, raised his right hand, and covered his mouth tightly.

Zhang hugged the bamboo back home, Xu Xiuxiu was already waiting at the door, she stretched out her hand to take Zhang, but he flashed over, the two of them stood with their backs to each other, Zhang said lightly: "She must not want you to raise this child, madam, please go back." ”

After Chen Yangluo entered the Northern Chu military camp, a female official came to lead her to a tent, and after a while, a team of palace ladies came in, carried a wooden barrel in, and served her to wash and change clothes, and after dressing properly, the female official at the beginning stood quietly aside, made a gesture to guide the way, and went to the imperial tent in the central government.

The imperial tent is quite in the style of Zhao Ye, rough and heroic, made of bear skin and tiger skin, and there are a few people with animal heads who are looking at the people who enter the imperial tent.

The female official secretly glanced at Chen Yangluo, and saw that her face was as usual, and she retracted her gaze after a slight glance, and admired her a little more in her heart, just because of the beast head on the emperor's tent, I don't know how many palace maids cried and begged her to change her errand.

The female official raised the curtain, Chen Yangluo stepped into the imperial tent, and also thought about what it would be like to see Zhao Ye again, but he never expected it to be like this.

Zhao Ye's upper body was naked, holding a wine glass in one hand, and a thinly clothed woman was lying on his lap, her arms around his neck, and her mouth was leading, as if she wanted to feed the wine with her mouth.

Chen Yangluo was embarrassed, turned around and was about to leave, Zhao Ye threw out the wine glass in his hand violently, and happened to fall in front of Chen Yangluo's feet, the wine overflowed, splashing her feet.

Zhao Ye pushed the woman in front of him away, let her fall to the ground, took a few steps, and when he arrived in front of Chen Yangluo, he grabbed Chen Yangluo's arm and said domineeringly: "Don't go!" ”

Chen Yangluo frowned slightly and looked at him, and then looked at the woman on the ground, but saw that her skin was white and snowy, her facial features were exquisite, and she was trembling on the ground, which was very pitiful.

Zhao Ye's eyes were only fixed on Chen Yangluo, and he gritted his teeth and said, "When you see this scene, have you ever felt a little sad in your heart?" ”

Chen Yangluo lowered his eyes, reciting Buddhist scriptures silently, Zhao Ye became more and more angry, and he roared: "Do you know that in the past two years, my eyes have been the scene of you being coquettish in someone else's arms......"

Before he finished his words, Chen Yangluo, who couldn't bear it, slapped him mercilessly.
