Chen Zhibao drank wine and ate vegetables at the same time, and didn't take him seriously: "Heh, what do you say? ”

"I think you are disloyal to Da Zhou."

Hearing this, Chen Zhibao slowly put down his wine glass, his eyes full of murder: "Are you questioning me?" What are you, I lifted you up? You dare to speak to me in such a tone. ”

Zhou Dewei sneered: "How dare you, you are a person next to the emperor, when I left the Southern Zhou Dynasty, I was just a five-grade official." If the emperor hadn't spent so much money on me, I wouldn't be where I am today. ”

"If you know, it's good."

"However, I can sit firmly in the position of prime minister, and it is not all about money, and I can't live today without the brain to be prepared for danger in times of peace. I have sent people along the way to inquire about the traces of General Deng's soldiers and horses, but no one has appeared, only the horse's hoof prints, they have changed their routes, and they have changed their clothes to intercept my brother Zhou Defeng's team, right? ”

is cunning, Zhou Dewei does have his strengths.

He was unambiguous and put these things on the bright side, knowing that he would not live long.

Even the envoy secretly harmed him, and he himself couldn't talk to the emperor, and the ending of the Zhou family was self-evident.

Zhou Dewei poured himself half a glass of wine and laughed self-deprecatingly: "I have made great contributions to the Southern Zhou, but the emperor doesn't trust me anymore, my life is a joke." In order to be loyal, I have two sons, Master Chen, you teach me, how should I deal with myself? ”

Chen Zhibao: "You...... What does this mean, I don't understand. ”

"You don't have to pretend, there is only one explanation for today's situation, that is, you were co-opted by Qin Chuan and betrayed me in disguise. I should have thought of it a long time ago, otherwise, with Qin Chuan such a smart person, how could he leave the capital in a grand manner, what he said before leaving, I thought about it repeatedly, and I never understood the point, just yesterday, the dead soldier I sent out came back to report the news, and I thought of you. ”

Chen Zhibao's hand trembled, this was in Zhou Dewei's house, he was afraid.

"Don't be afraid, envoy, I know I'm going to die, and all I can do now is to keep my son. You can't let our Zhou family have no descendants, I think...... Qin Chuan should have sent someone to assassinate my brothers, alas...... After decades of hard work, I took the lead and couldn't take anything away. After the incident, I have already arranged, this pot of wine, let's drink it together. ”

Is it poisoned wine?!

Chen Zhibao was terrified, but he had already drunk it.

"You! - Zhou Dewei, you are so bold, you dare to attack me! ”

Zhou Dewei drank the poisonous wine contentmently, and his face was fearless: "I often walk by the river, how can I not get my shoes wet, since I am all serving the life of Da Zhou, are you still afraid of death?" I don't want to be Qin Chuan's prisoner, he is sarcastic in every way, I can't afford to lose that person. ”

Suddenly, Chen Zhibao's stomach hurt, and he covered his hands with his hands: "Hmm...... Uh-uh! Yes! - Zhou Dewei, you bastard, I'm ...... Yes!! ”

Zhou Dewei also sweated in pain, and he said: "Lord Chen, there is no one in the mansion anymore, my son Zhou Zongren can be regarded as the last bit of blood in my Zhou family." Just this morning, I killed my wife with my own hands. ”

The poison hurts and suffers.

The two passed out.

How did Zhou Dewei know that there was an internal guard at home, and it was Yang Qianxue who was placed here.

When he woke up, he was lying on the bed with Liu Zhongping by his side.

How?

If the poison goes down, can you still live?

Are you dreaming?

"Zhou Gong, are you better?"

"You...... I've been—"

"Oh, you drank poisoned wine, but the pot of wine has already been watered, and you don't feel it? Most of the toxicity has been reduced. You are saved now. ”

Zhou Dewei jumped up and pinched Liu Zhongping's clothes: "You stepped on a horse, what did you do to me?!" Why don't you let me die! Why? ”

"You are a sinner of the country, you can't die now, I still have to protect you. The emperor said before he left the capital, keep an eye on you all the time, there are people arranged by the emperor in your house, and it is not so easy to die. Besides, if you die, won't your son be able to catch him? ”

If he wants to die, he will die of his second son, Zhou Zongren.

Seeing that he was still alive, Zhou Dewei trembled angrily: "You...... You ......"

"Everything you have done can't escape the emperor's eyes. Zhou Zongren participated in the murder of Princess Anping, do you think that's all you think about it? Do you think it's possible? In the world, can there be such a cheap thing? ”

"You can't stop me from killing myself, I can bite my tongue and kill myself!"

"If you dare to do this, your son will die."

"You caught Zongren?!"

Whether he is caught or not, Liu Zhongping will not tell him the truth.

He looked at Zhou Dewei with disdain: "A person like you, who poisons Sheji, will be cut by a thousand knives sooner or later, but if you want to kill you, you have to wait until the emperor returns to Beijing." From this day onwards, all your daily life will be taken care of, and you shall not leave the house even a step. ”

The protection of Zhou Dewei is specially responsible for Liu Fang, and there are three internal guards secretly guarding him.

Because the emperor of the Southern Zhou Dynasty would not let him go, the life and death of this person must be decided by Qin Chuan himself.

……

The time came on the twenty-seventh day.

Qin Chuan hurried slowly, and it can be regarded as coming to the border, and in front of him is a city called 'Huguan'.

It was originally used as a dividing line between Great Xia and the Northern Jin Dynasty, but more than a hundred years ago, the emperor of the Qin family wanted to attack the Northern Jin Dynasty and forcibly pushed the dividing line over.

In other words, the seven or eight cities here are themselves from the Northern Jin Dynasty.

It's just that for more than a hundred years, most of the people of the Northern Jin Dynasty have been expelled, and these places have been filled with the people of Great Xia.

From a distance, the city is intact.

There are very few soldiers here, probably the Northern Jin Dynasty took it down without much effort.

Qin Chuan: "Qianxue, look at the city in front of you, it is constantly getting taller, and you can take it down with one charge." ”

"Your Majesty, it's not difficult to take it, but this city is too easy to be breached, we can easily take it, and the enemy army can easily counterattack. I'm afraid I can't make a hasty decision. ”

"It makes sense, let's send people into the city to find out the situation first, if there are not many people in the city, let's go directly into the city and strengthen the fortifications."

Before dark, the men who had been sent out returned.

The news was that there were only a few hundred enemy troops in the city, most of them civilians, and the original defenders of the city were all killed.

Because of the small number of enemy troops, there were not many people standing on the city walls, and there was not even a general in the city.

The more this happens, the more suspicious it becomes.

Ten miles on either side of this city, there were two cities, each with horns.

Once besieged, the consequences are unimaginable.

Qin Chuan had an idea: "Send two thousand men to attack it, and the rest of the men and horses will intercept reinforcements on the periphery." ”
