The remaining black-clothed people were shocked by Kang Chao's swift move, and looked at each other, not daring to step forward.

Yuan Qin was angry and shouted: "Whatever you're afraid of, give it to me, whoever doesn't go up and I cut whom?"

Kang Chao sneered, clenched the Pu knife, and did not move, like a lion ready to attack, quietly looking at the opponent who rushed up.

In the eyes of Pu Dao, the people in black, Kang Chao was like a dragon going out to sea, moving three times in one step, his body was as light as a swallow, and he walked among the people in black, like a leisurely stroll. Although his sword was like numbness, he was not injured at all, and everywhere his simple sword went, he was killed and wounded.

But seeing Kang Chao's two feet strong, he "soared" and jumped up, kicked over, concentrated all his strength, and pressed the two black-clothed people in front of him, only to feel that the thousand catties fell, spit blood in his mouth, and fell to the ground.

He landed easily, pulled past a man in black beside him, and quickly blocked the rain of Pu Dao. He struggled to push away the corpse that had been chopped into pulp, and stabbed one of the men in black in the face.

The man in black had a huge cut in his neck, blood gushing out, and he fell to the ground, convulsing.

Seeing his men fall one by one, Yuan Qin roared and said, "Get out of the way for me, I'll come!"

When the people in black heard this, they scattered one after another, making way for Yuan Qin.

Yuan Qin clenched his fists, made a loud creaking sound, his eyes were bloodshot, his whole body was tense, his thin face was full of murderous energy, and he scolded fiercely, "Qinggou!"

After speaking, he flew away, Kang Chao still held his breath, his body was slightly bent, holding the Pu knife in one hand and blocking with the other, his eyes were staring at Yuan Qin's every move.

As the two momentum approached, Yuan Qin jumped into the air, and with the help of huge power, raised his knife to slash at Kang Chao.

Kang Chao hurriedly held the knife in both hands and parried hard, only to feel that the power came like an overwhelming force, shaking him all over.

Due to being locked in the dungeon for a long time and feeling weak, Kang Chao couldn't help but take a few steps backwards, stumbling and almost falling.

Yuan Qin held the Pu knife and sneered: "People say that Kang Chao is as fierce as a tiger, I saw it today, but that's it!" After speaking, he accelerated his pace, took another leap, and slashed towards Kang Chao.

Kang Chao knew that he couldn't greet him, so he tossed and quickly dodged away.

Yuan Qin slammed into the air and fell to his knees. But he was also a tough guy, he struggled to stand up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said hatefully: "I have to kill you today!"

Kang Chao stood up, raised the Pu knife, and said, "Then it depends on whether you have the ability to do this!

The two fought again, for example, between the deep mountains, the two tigers fought each other, and they couldn't fight each other. Others watched from the sidelines, only applauding, but they didn't know how to help.

Kang Chao was trapped in the dungeon for a long time, and fought the man in black again, his strength was not as good as Yuan Qin, and after sixty rounds, he couldn't parry, and was slashed by Yuan Qin, and a cut was made in front of him, and blood flowed out.

Yuan Qin smiled: "But that's it!"

Kang Chao looked at his wounds, and then at Yuan Qin's wanton ridicule, his blood vessels suddenly swelled, his eyes were bloodshot, and his face was distorted. He tore open his shirt with all his might, roaring, clenching his fists and gurgling.

Yuan Qin saw that he was like a beast without humanity at this time, his eyes were full of anger, and he was also a little scared, and took a few steps back.

Kang Chao was like an enraged lion at this time, "bang-" and directly shook off the Pu knife in his hand and pounced directly on Yuan Qin.

Yuan Qin desperately slashed at him, although he was cut a few times in a row, Kang Chao didn't care at all, snatched the knife from Yuan Qin's hand, and with both hands, it was broken!

Yuan Qin knew that he was bent, and kicked Kang Chao away, and was about to get out and leave.

Who knows, Kang Chao ignored the pain, pounced on Yuan Qin again, raised his fist, and punched Yuan Qin for a while, until Yuan Qin's eyes were full of gold stars.

After beating Yuan Qin, Kang Chao still couldn't stop his madness, and he struggled to bite Yuan Qin, so he went down to the mountain and bit at the prey, until Yuan Qin lost his human form, severed limbs, and lost his breath.

Watching from the sidelines, not only the people in black were stunned, their legs were weak, and they ran away with rolling belts, even Lu Ji was shocked, he had never seen Kang Chao behave so animalistically. Although Kang Chao is a Rong man, he is loyal and thick, and he is very docile to himself, Lu Ji, who was still playing out as a prince at that time, accepted him and made him his own guard general, and then he has been following him and is loyal to himself. Lu Ji, who knows the courage of the Rong people, has seen Kang Chao kill people, but he has never seen him so wild.

At this time, Lu Ji didn't dare to step forward to pull him, for fear that he would lose his mind and even hurt himself.

At this time, the patrolling soldiers surrounded him, and the general Wen Ping, who was the leader, wanted to bow down when he saw Lu Ji.

Lu Ji waved his hand, looked at Kang Chao, who was still crazy about the corpse, and said, "Restrain Kang Chao first, otherwise he will go crazy!"

Wen Ping also saw the crazy Kang Chao, and he hurriedly went up to La Kang Chao.

Unbeknownst to him, Kang Chao grabbed his hand and pounced on him.

Wen Ping was shocked and asked, "Are you crazy?" Kang Chao!"

Kang Chao turned a deaf ear, so he wanted to tear up the clerk.

Wen Ping knew that if he didn't get out, he would be the next corpse, and immediately charged his right hand, and at first the dantian punched Kang Chao's abdomen hard.

Just heard the sound of "ah-", Kang Chao was like a deflated balloon, his eyes closed, and he collapsed on Wen Ping.

Wen Ping sighed, pushed Kang Chao away, and asked the soldiers watching around him to lift Kang Chao and send him back to the mansion.

Wen Ping asked, "What's wrong with Kang Chao, why does it seem that he has lost his mind?"

Lu Ji nodded and said, "I haven't seen much either." He looked at Yuan Qin's humanoid corpse again, and said, "Find a good coffin, shape your body with sandalwood, and bury him well." ”

Wen Ping asked, "Who are the dead bodies on this ground?"

Lu Ji replied: "They are all Jin people, I am afraid that Ning Yu sent them to assassinate me, I escaped by luck twice before, but this time he still did not change his mind and wanted to intercept and kill me on the road." ”

When Wen Ping heard this, he asked for an order: "The last general will send someone to arrest Ning Yu!"

Lu Ji said: "We don't have any evidence, so let's not touch the people of the Wang family casually, so as not to provoke criticism." ”

Wen Ping said: "At this time, we take advantage of Ning Yu's unpreparedness and thoroughly investigate the palace, we will definitely be able to find evidence, wouldn't it be good to take him together at that time?"

Lu Ji pondered for a moment and said, "Forget it, don't disturb her easily." ”

"He?" Wen Ping didn't understand what Lu Ji meant, and continued, "Your Majesty, Ning Yu has already attacked us, why should we treat him politely." ”

Lu Ji didn't answer, and left directly.

Wen Ping sighed and asked the soldiers to clean up the scene.

In a dimly lit dungeon, there were no fingers in sight, only a faint light shining through the thin eyes of the doors and windows. Liuzi and Yiganren all leaned against the wall and waited quietly.

But I heard a loud bang, and a strong light pierced in, and the footsteps of a group of people also came in.

"Is it the general who has come to save us?" Liuzi was full of joy and craned his neck to look at the dungeon, and the rest of the people also cheered up and stood up one after another.

A hearty laugh came, breaking everyone's expectations.

saw a handsome scholar in a one-piece blue robe appear above the dungeon, it was Ning Yu.

He smiled and said, "I'm afraid your general won't be able to save you." ”

When the sixth son saw that it was him, he scolded loudly: "You thief, my general will definitely bring someone to save us, and we will definitely dismantle you when the time comes!"

A big man beside Ning Yu scolded: "Little thing, you shut up for me!"

Ning Yu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Hey, when he dies, he will also be happy, right?" After speaking, with a wave of his hand, a group of big men appeared around, carrying shovels one by one.

Seeing that Liuzi and the others looked puzzled, Ning Yu smiled and said, "You said that if I bury you, how will your general find you?" After speaking, he laughed.

Liuzi and the others immediately panicked and scolded Ning Yu for being despicable, but to no avail, those men picked up shovels and threw all the prepared soil into the dungeon.

At first, the people in the dungeon were still shouting, but as the dirt continued to be thrown down, the sound became weaker and weaker, and finally there was no more sound.

After burying the soil, one person came to report: "Lord Wang, Yuan Qin Gongzi, he was killed by Kang Chao!"

When everyone heard this, they were all very surprised, only Ning Yu laughed and said: "Good killing, no one will stop us from cutting down the Qing now!" Then, he said to the man: "You return to China immediately, report this matter to the Prime Minister's wife, and say that your son was killed by the Qing Emperor!"

Seeing Lu Ji return to the palace, Tong Duolun and Xu Yin, who were as anxious as ants in a hot pot, hurriedly came to greet him, Lu Ji didn't stop and asked, "The envoys of all countries have left?"

Xu Yin nodded and said, "I have all returned to the post house, and I will return to China tomorrow, only the envoys of the Qi State strongly ask to see Your Majesty." ”

Lu Ji waved his hand and said, "No, what did I see him doing, and listen to him talk about the truth of cold lips and teeth?"

Tong Duolun on the side said: "The Yan army has entered the territory of Qi in a big way, and the capital of Qi is besieged. The State of Qi asks our country to send troops to relieve the siege of Qi City!"

Lu Ji said: "Break the siege, the Yan army is strong, and our Qing army sends troops, but it is just a moth to the fire!"

Xu Yin said: "The envoy of Qi said that he is willing to exchange the land of the nine counties of Linjiang for my Qing army to send troops to Qi. ”

"Linjiang?" Lu Ji became interested when he heard these two words, and asked: "It's the Linjiang that is rich in ironware, and these nine counties are all rich lands?"

Tong Duolun nodded and said, "That's right, Linjiang is a rich land of Qi, not only rich in iron tools, but also very rich in grains and grains. Qi Guo did this, and it was also the entry of the Yan army, so he had to do it. ”

Lu Ji stopped, hesitated a little, and asked, "How many people do we have now?"

Tong Duolun replied: "There are 100,000 new troops in Yuzhou, and there are about 150,000 horses in Xu, Qing and Jingzhou, but due to the uneven quality of the good and the bad, the real available soldiers are only 100,000 horses. ”

Lu Ji frowned and said, "Tomorrow summon the envoys to see me, and then make a decision, I will rush to the Empress Dowager's palace to ask for peace." ”

As the three of them were talking, they met Luo Chuan head-on, and when Luo Chuan saw Lu Ji, his pleasure was overflowing, and he saluted the three of them.

Tong Duolun nodded at her, and Xu Yin smiled: "Miss Luochuan is polite." ”

Lu Ji was a little uncomfortable and asked, "Luo Chuan, your feet are not good yet, why did you come out and walk around?"

Luo Chuan said with a smile: "I've been off for a day, and the imperial doctor has also come to see it, it's no big deal, I'll come out to breathe." ”

Lu Ji nodded and said, "You better go back and rest quickly, don't hurt your feet, I want to go to the Queen Mother's Palace to say goodbye to the Queen Mother." ”

Luo Chuan replied, "I know, I'll go back in a while." ”

After Luo Chuan left, Xu Yin smiled on the side: "Your Majesty, Miss Luo Chuan's body is delicate and easy to bump into her, why don't you arrange a few maids for her?"

Lu Ji glared at him and said, "In the harem, only concubines will arrange palace maids, aren't you breaking the rules?"

Xu Yin was scolded by him like this, and he didn't dare to guess what he meant, so he kept silent

The three of them came to the queen mother's palace, and the queen mother in front of them was wearing a thick bun, tied with a golden hairpin, her hair was black and white, she was wearing a brown shirt skirt and a cloak outside. She lowered her head, holding a bowl of mung bean soup, drinking spoonful by spoonful, and the palace maid on the side was busy rubbing her legs.

Seeing that the three of them were coming, the Queen Mother put down the mung bean soup and said with a smile: "You guys are finally back, and I still said, why hasn't my Ji'er come to say goodbye." ”

The three of them looked at each other, Lu Ji glanced at the two, stepped forward and sat down next to the Queen Mother with a smile, and said with a smile: "It's not that there are too many guests, it's too busy for a while, and the son didn't grasp the time, and asked his mother to forgive him." After speaking, he rubbed his shoulders for the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother patted his hand and said with a smile: "You can remember your mother every day, your mother is already very pleased." After speaking, he pointed to Xu Yin and Tong Duolun, and said with a smile: "You two, you don't know how to take care of Your Majesty, today's matter, let's stop for the time being, don't take an example!"

Xu Yin and Tong Duolun hurriedly knelt down and bowed, and replied, "The minister is guilty!"

The Queen Mother raised her hand and said with a smile: "That's it, you all get up, eat a bowl of mung bean soup and leave." ”

With that, the three palace maids each held a tray, on which were a bowl of mung bean soup and a soup spoon. The three of them took the mung bean soup and tasted a spoonful each.

Xu Yin exclaimed: "This is really delicious in the world, sweet and delicious, warm and clear the lungs!"

Tong Duolun on the side also nodded and said with a smile: "Not bad." ”

Only Lu Ji tasted it, holding the bowl without saying a word.

The Queen Mother smiled and said: "Emperor Tong doesn't often praise people! You don't know this mung bean soup, but Your Majesty often drinks it!" After speaking, she looked at Lu Ji with a smile.

Lu Ji smiled and said, "What the queen mother said is that this is the mung bean soup made by Luo Chuan, the palace maid of the sons. ”

The Queen Mother smiled: "Don't say it, this little woman is really good, not only handsome, but also versatile, and she is also affectionate and righteous to Your Majesty, isn't she?"

When Xu Yin heard this, he hurriedly took it and said: "The minister has a reluctant request, this Luo Chuan is a nobleman after he is a famous family, and His Majesty is twenty years old and has not been married so far. If Miss Liluochuan is the queen, isn't it a match made in heaven?"

Lu Ji hurriedly stepped forward and said: "No, the world is still in turmoil, and the son has promised to be in the country, so wouldn't this be a drag on Miss Luochuan." ”

The Queen Mother replied angrily: "What's the matter? The world is uncertain for a day, and you won't marry for a day? As the king of a country, your wife is the queen of a country, and above ten thousand people, is it possible that you still wronged her?"

Lu Ji was silent for a moment and said, "This matter will be discussed later." ”

The Queen Mother was also a little confused and asked, "You don't like Miss Luochuan?"

Lu Ji hesitated for a long time and said, "Erchen likes Miss Luochuan, but it's just ......"

The Queen Mother waved her hand and said, "Think about it yourself, after a month, if you have no opinion, Luo Chuan will be the new queen!"

Lu Ji nodded, didn't dare to rebel, put down the mung bean soup, and retreated.
