Chapter 409: Born to Die and Ride in the Night
In the twilight, in the imperial study of the imperial city.
Su Qi sat behind a bookcase, she finished reading a book in her hand, and subconsciously leaned back.
But when she turned her head to look, she saw a majestic face without any expression, and Su Qi had to sit up straight again and continue to look at the folds on the bookcase.
It didn't take long for the father-in-law of the Imperial Front who was guarding the door to come quickly.
Su Ji said: "Gonggong Li can just say it directly, and there is no need to salute. ”
The father-in-law surnamed Li dispensed with the number of courtesies, quickly handed the cloth scroll in his hand to the table, and then began to speak.
"After the dispersal of the dynasty today, three people have gone to the military headquarters to meet and plot, intending to cause trouble... In order to avoid a mutiny among the soldiers in the city, Niangniang wants to transfer the Dark Night Cavalry back to Xijing? ”
Su Ji was silent for a moment and shook his head.
"These things are not important, what happened to the things that were explained before?"
Li Gonggong said: "According to the recent news, Hedong, Henan, and Shannan West Road have all been suppressed, and General Chu has gone to Hebei with the Dark Night Cavalry... It should not be more than half a month, and the war in the Northland is over! ”
Su Ji responded: "As long as these rumors are dispersed into the city, those people who are doing good things should always weigh and understand!" ”
Gonggong Li's face was embarrassed, and he whispered: "But Niangniang..."
Su Qi folded his hand and looked at the former father-in-law in front of him with cold eyes.
"Li Chengyan, are you teaching the palace to do things?"
Li Chengyan hurriedly knelt on the ground and slammed his head against the ground.
He shouted out in a firm tone: "The old slave is just concerned about the safety of Niangniang and His Majesty!" Even if General Chu is invincible and invincible, but if he is inside the imperial city... There are still people who want to persecute Niangniang and His Majesty, and the old slave alone will not be able to protect Niangniang and His Majesty! ”
Su Qi looked at the old man in front of him who risked his death, and could only sigh weakly.
Over the past few years, too many people have died...
Just half an hour ago, Zhu Gaojiu also left, and among the palace walls of this deep courtyard, there were only a few people left who could say a word of loyalty to her and him.
Li Chengyan looked up and found that Su Ji was covering his forehead with his hands at this time, and there was even more sweat on his cheeks.
He didn't care about the politeness, and hurriedly got up and ran towards a bookshelf in the house.
Li Chengyan took out a bottle of pills from the hidden compartment behind the bookshelf, and then he immediately ran back to the bookcase and presented the pills to Su Qi.
As soon as Su Ji grabbed the pill, he put it in his mouth, and then immediately swallowed it.
After a long time, she gradually eased up, and after the whole person's face improved, she once again changed back to the bodhisattva appearance with a jade face and red lips.
Su Qi muttered: "Let Imperial Doctor Wen increase the dose in the future..."
Li Chengyan looked at such a Queen Su, and he was even more anxious, and he was ready to kneel down and beg again.
Suddenly, Su Ji slapped one hand on the table, interrupting Li Chengyan's follow-up movements.
Syllable!
The father-in-law surnamed Li hurriedly straightened up again, suppressing all the thoughts of trying to persuade in his heart.
Li Cheng said in a trembling voice: "The old slave will inform Imperial Doctor Wen later..."
After Su Ji responded briefly, he casually said that he was tired, and then withdrew Li Cheng from the room.
In the end, in the entire imperial study, only Su Qi and the Xia family emperor behind him were left.
He saw everything that had just happened, but there was not the slightest emotion on his countenance, let alone any emotion.
Su Qi looked at the tall figure behind her again, and there seemed to be a thousand words in her heart, but she couldn't say anything when it came to her mouth.
"In the early years, when you first sat in that seat... Is that what happened to you? ”
"How did you manage to be politically stable and play chess in the school palace in your spare time?"
"Presumably Gao Jiu is helping a lot... But..."
Su Qi wanted to ask again, but when she thought of the words of Imperial Physician Wen when she told Zhu Gaojiu about his death, she was silent.
Soon, Su Qi spoke indifferently again and said, "You, not him." ”
Her actions were still seen by the tall figure, but nothing changed.
Su Ji raised his hand and shook it in front of him.
The silver bells on the wrists collided with each other, making a series of ringing sounds.
Ding-ding-ding-
The tall figure sitting in the master seat of the imperial study finally moved, and the expressionless head first looked left and right for a long time, and finally looked at Su Qi in front of him.
It was just a blink of an eye, and the son of the Xia family suddenly cried and mourned.
"Ahh That man was so angry just now... Doesn't your hand hurt..."
Su Ji shook his head and signaled that it was okay.
"Can you let me next time... Go and teach him a lesson..."
Su Ji raised his hand and beckoned, and the man who was still crying and mourning hurriedly bypassed the bookcase and finally sat on the steps.
He seemed to be sitting just right in this position, just enough to put his head on Su Ji's knees.
Su Qi took off the crown of his hair and smoothed it with great care, and the latter enjoyed it quietly.
"They... They are all the same as Gao Jiu, they all care about us..."
"But why... Every time Ah Qi is sad? ”
Su Qi fell silent again, but quickly squeezed out a smile and looked at the man in his lap.
"It's because Ah Ji always thinks that his own method is better, but in fact, their method is the best..."
"Ah Ji's is the best!"
Hearing this, Su Qi hurriedly raised his hand, as if he was about to punish him.
This frightened the man so much that he quickly covered his face with both hands, but left two fingers between his fingers so that he could continue to see the person in front of him clearly.
How could Su Qi not see these thoughts?
She sighed slowly, and the man under her was about to continue to speak comfortingly, but Su Qi shook the silver bell at his wrist again.
Ding - Ding Ding -
The tall figure immediately sat up straight, and all of its expressions, eyes, and countenances returned to normal.
Immediately afterwards, the Xia family Tianzi stood up and began to walk towards the bookcase in the rear, until he sat back in his original position, there was no change in his expression.
After Su Qi finished reading all the movements, he turned back to his bookcase, ready to continue to review the folds.
But at this moment, the expressionless man's eyes moved slightly, and he glanced at the back in front of him.
......
Long before the six kings rushed to the imperial city for the family banquet, two teams of people had been secretly assembled in the east of the Yanyang River and Henan.
These people relied on the Liaoyuan army that went south from the north to the south, and their whereabouts were covered up.
So much so that in Hedong and Henan, from the vassal king's henchmen to the state city assassin history and county orders, no one knew their whereabouts.
They share a common name - the Dark Night Ride.
Founded in the third year of Riyao, few people know about it so far, and even the so-called Imperial Blade has not found out all the news about them.
At most, a few substitutes for the dead will be released to use the top bag...
At this moment, the Wuye cavalry soldiers who suppressed the rebellions of the feudal kings in various places did not continue to march towards Hebei, but met in the eastern capital.
All the soldiers and horses have all changed into the armor of the Yanyang Army, which is no different from the ordinary Yanyang soldiers, in the eyes of the people of the Eastern Capital, at most, the Yanyang military is normally stationed in the Eastern Capital.
But just after the dark night rode into the Dongdu military camp, the Yanyang army stationed there immediately found out that something was wrong, and the camp horn sounded immediately!
Buzz - Buzz -
The Eastern Capital Guard came out with a sword, looking at the dark night rider in front of him and shouting.
"Whose general are you waiting for? Hurry up and report to the military, or you will be strangled on the spot! ”
A man slowly walked out of the crowd of night riders, threw his armor in his hand, and then turned over and dismounted.
This person's steps were extremely heavy, as if every step would lead to turmoil in the mountains and rivers.
Looking at the momentum of the person in front of him, the face of the Eastern Capital Guard became a little grim.
Because he has an inexplicable sense of familiarity, but it is extremely unfamiliar...
When the setting sun shone on the man's face, the face of the Eastern Capital Guard instantly became frightened, and then turned pale.
He shouted out in disbelief: "But General Chu Xu?? ”
Chu Xu glanced at him with a gloomy face, and responded: "My Yanyang boy only has some crooked melons and cracked dates left..."
The general of the Eastern Capital immediately raised his breath, raised his fist and struck the cuirass and shouted: "The last general has seen General Chu Xu!" ”
There is naturally awe of the person in front of you.
But at this moment, the Eastern Capital Defender was more puzzled in his heart.
Because the Chu Xu in front of him, who he called a general, had died ten years ago.
And at that time, Chu Xu, who died in the counterinsurgency, was just a school captain, and after his death, he was posthumously awarded the title of General Dingyuan of Zhengwupin.
At that time, he was still very puzzled, even if all the battalions were killed in battle, it was just a rebellion by some rebels in the Guan, how could there be a posthumous seal?
Now, the Eastern Capital Guard has some speculations in his heart.
Recently, the henchmen of the feudal kings in various places have been uprooted, and by the time the Yanyang army arrived, only some stumps and broken arms remained, and no trace could be found at all.
Then at this moment, the person who "came back from the dead" in front of him is the best answer.
Chu Xu spoke up: "In the Eastern Capital, can there be six kings? ”
The Eastern Capital Guard immediately responded: "Since the news of the Imperial City came out, the last general has restricted the entry and exit of various city gates, but all the people related to it have been recorded!" ”
Chu Xu sneered: "We can all enter the city in a grand manner, and we have done a good job of entanglement..."
As soon as these words came out, the Eastern Capital Guard, who wanted to continue speaking, instantly panicked.
Chu Xu said again: "That's it... In the future, we will take matters into our own hands for the people related to the Six Kings in the city, so you wastes should not have seen it..."
The Eastern Capital Guard, who was at the forefront, of course understood why Chu Xu was able to speak so wildly.
But the Yanyang soldiers behind him couldn't figure it out.
In the crowd, there was a shout out of nowhere, like the beating of the drum that shook the sky!
"Fuck! Where did you come from, and you are playing tricks in front of your grandfathers! ”
Without waiting for the Eastern Capital Guard to turn around and reprimand, someone immediately pulled out an iron bow in the middle of the night ride.
In an instant, the bow is drawn like a full moon!
Whoosh –
The next moment, there was a dull sound of falling to the ground in the Yanyang station.
The Yanyang soldier who had just spoken cruelly was shot dead on the spot before he could get out of the crowd.
Chu Xu said coldly: "Only those who are born to death can stand in front of us alive, and if there are those who stand in the way, die!" ”
The Eastern Capital Guard took a step back as if he was mournful, and his face was extremely ugly.
"In the future, General Chu can act as he pleases... If you need help, just send a message. ”
