Chu Yiqing's eyes turned cold and his handsome face was filled with ice. With just one sentence, Bai Yu looked embarrassed and quickly knelt down in front of Chu Yiqing, "Princess, I know I was wrong, and so do I..."
"Princess, we are not wrong. Didn't the princess want the young master to sit in that seat? We are just helping the princess! If the princess is allowed to guard Chu Han, the young master will not be able to sit in that seat even in this life!" White Snake
He looked calm and said without changing his expression.
Chu Yiqing sneered: "Your reasons are very high-sounding, but don't forget, I am the princess, I am the leader, I have to decide everything. When will it be your turn to make your own decisions?"
White Snake suddenly knelt in front of Chu Yiqing: "It is a capital crime for a subordinate to make arbitrary decisions, but there is absolutely no crime at all for doing so. If the princess is not angry, then kill the subordinate!"
Bai Yu was startled and knelt in front of Chu Yiqing.[
Chu Yiqing's eyes darkened. She knew that Madam White was forcing her. She knew clearly that she could not kill them both, but these two old guys were forcing her!
"I won't take your lives, I want to keep your lives to do something!" Chu Yiqing said coldly, "Go to Rao's camp five miles away for me to capture someone. His name is Ma Qi, and he is a
The comprador, I want his head!"
White Snake was startled, raised her eyes and asked: "Rao Camp? Princess, do you know that once Rao Jun is provoked, if the emperor captures the princess, we will be attacked from both sides!"
"Aren't you going?" Chu Yiqing suddenly stood up and said, "You are the one who provoked the Emperor. I also tell you that without you, I can still kill Ma Qi.
But don’t come to me again in the future, I’m not a princess, at worst I and the Fifth Prince will remain anonymous for the rest of our lives!”
White Snake's face turned pale and she whispered: "Princess, don't say such angry words, we are also thinking about the princess and the Shura Kingdom!"
"How do you know that I'm not thinking about the Shura Kingdom? The Shura Kingdom has been destroyed for more than fifty years. Who among the people today remembers the Shura Kingdom? With people like you, it's not easy to restore the country! Originally, I wanted to stand firm.
After the heel, you slowly infiltrated the court, but you just couldn't wait, exposed my identity, and forced me to restore the country! But now, we have no common people base, how to restore the country? Now Rao's army attacked and captured these four cities.
I have resettled the refugees in Pingliang and established a common people base. If I can pacify the people in these three cities, then these four cities will become our bases! You are unwilling to stand up for them now.
When the time comes, all the people will leave the capital, where will you find such a good opportunity?" Chu Yiqing said coldly, speaking sternly.
Bai Niangzi and Bai Yu looked at each other, seeming slightly hesitant. They were silent for a while, and then Bai Niangzi said: "Princess, just wait for our good news. We will definitely bring Ma Qi to the princess."
!”
Chu Yiqing nodded coldly.
Bai Niangzi and Bai Yu came out of the house. Bai Yu said with some concern: "Holy Ancestor, do you really believe what the princess says?"
"Whether you believe it or not, this matter must be done. The people's support for the princess is their support for the Shura Kingdom. Even if the old emperor wants the princess's life, there will still be so many people thinking about the princess.
Okay!" the white lady said in a low voice.
Bai Yu nodded: "Okay, in that case, let's catch Ma Qi!"
At this moment, in Rao's camp five miles away from Kunlun City, Alu happily came in with a letter and reported: "Your Majesty, this is great news. Emperor Luo has sent an army of 100,000 to the east to attack Li State.
Capital City, this time we and Luo State are attacking from both sides, Li State is not far away from being destroyed!"
There was no hint of joy on Huinan King Liu Yi's face, but he just said softly: "It is indeed good news. In this case, Alu, why don't you go back and report to the emperor in person, and also make the emperor happy!"
Alu smiled and said: "Your Majesty, my subordinates have already sent people to send the news back to Rao Jing. The emperor has probably received it by now!"
Liu Yi's eyes darkened and he couldn't help clenching his fingers.
"Your Majesty, since Luo Jun has arrived, why don't we set out to attack the capital tomorrow and give Emperor Li a double attack?" Alu said happily.
Liu Yi Leng had a stern look on his face, but before he could speak, he saw A Xuan hurriedly walked in and reported: "Your Majesty, the soldiers on patrol just now found a small group of suspicious people nearby. Could they be enemy spies?"
Liu Yi was startled and said in a low voice: "Hasn't Li Jun already retreated fifty miles away? We have beaten him so hard that he has lost all his troops and armor. How can he still have the guts to counterattack?"
"Subordinate, go take a look again!" Ah Xuan whispered and hurried out.[
An hour later, Ah Xuan walked into Daying in a hurry and whispered: "Your Majesty, something happened. An accident happened to the team responsible for purchasing on the way back. More than a dozen people were missing. A patrolling soldier said that there were several
Ten men robbed them!"
Liu Yi's eyes darkened and he asked coldly: "Is there anyone else who dares to plunder our people?"
"My subordinates have sent people to lead the soldiers to Kunlun City, but there is no news yet!" Ah Xuan continued.
"Have you ever warned them not to harm people without reason?" Liu Yi said in a deep voice.
"I have already warned you, but my subordinates just heard something. Yesterday, Ma Qi's group, who was in charge of purchasing, had a dispute with the people in the city, and two soldiers died. However, Ma Qi did not report it.
That’s all!”
"There are soldiers who conceal their illness and casualties and don't report them. I'm afraid they have a guilty conscience! Go and find out what happened. Maybe this matter has a lot to do with the disappearance of Ma Qi and others!" Liu Yi said immediately.
Aru stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, there are just a few soldiers missing. Maybe they became deserters. Now it is a big deal to jointly attack the capital with Emperor Luo. Why don't we break camp and move forward tonight?"
Liu Qian's eyes darkened, and he suddenly stared at Alu closely. Those dark and deep eyes made Alu feel cold.
"Why does the prince think so highly of his subordinates?" Aru asked cautiously.
"Alu, although you are the emperor's personal bodyguard and have always been trusted by him, but this is in the army, and I am the general. I have the final say whether to break camp and advance!" Liu Yi said coldly.
Aru was startled and whispered: "But Emperor Luo... Your lord, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
Liu Yi's eyes turned cold, and Alu quickly lowered his eyes and lowered his eyebrows, not daring to say anything more.
White Snake ordered the dozen soldiers to be sent to the house where Chu Yiqing stayed.
"This is the person you want!" White Snake whispered, "Now that I have brought him here for you, you must keep your promise!"
Chu Yiqing said coldly: "Instead of helping me, this is what you should do, because all these things were caused by you!"
The white lady's face darkened, but she still held back and whispered: "If you have any orders from the princess in the future, just tell me, and we will never give up!"
Chu Yiqing snorted coldly, not accepting her favor.
Early in the morning on the third day, just after the deadline, the common people blocked the gate of the house. The two gatekeepers who were originally greedy for money and rented the house to Chu Yiqing were so frightened that they almost peed in their pants when they saw this situation.
, hurriedly rushed to the hall and shouted: "Mrs. Li, I can't rent this house to you. This is rent, and we don't keep a cent. Let's not talk about it. When the master comes back in the future and knows that we rented the house privately, he just said
The situation in front of us, if it goes wrong, will kill people, no one can afford it!"
Yingqian stepped forward and said coldly: "You two didn't say that when you took the money, but now you are scared! But I'm afraid it's too late now!"
Yingqian put one hand on their heads, knocked them to the ground effortlessly, and ordered the door to be opened on the 15th.
Two dark doors opened, and Yingqian stood at the door and shouted loudly: "What are you so anxious about? The person has been caught, look at it!"
When everyone heard that they had been caught, they all fell silent, and saw Fourteen and Fifteen coming out with three people under their control. The leader was the deputy general Ma Qi, and the rest were the two soldiers who escaped that day.[
"It's them, it's them!" Lao Zhongtou trembled, stepped forward and slapped Ma Qi hard twice, and cursed loudly: "You are a Raoguo Tatar, why don't you stay at home properly?"
, What are you doing here on someone else's property? You are not honest when you come here, and you dare to kill people in the street!"
As soon as Lao Zhongtou took action, the common people whose relatives had been killed by Rao Jun also became excited and stepped forward one after another, chasing and beating the three of them.
In the teahouse opposite, a young man in white looked at everything in front of him coldly, his eyes dark, but when he saw Fourteen and Fifteen standing beside him, his eyes couldn't help but twitch, and his expression
Suddenly excited.
"Your Majesty, these people are really lawless. They even dare to touch our people! Your Majesty, my subordinates will take people to bring peace to this family!" Aru said coldly.
"Stop!" Liu Yi said in a deep voice, shouting to stop Alu, "Send the order, no one in this house can move!"
Aru was stunned and said in confusion: "Your Majesty, why? You see, if this continues, these three people will be dead!"
"Killing for life, no matter what, they were the ones who disobeyed military orders!" Liu Yi said solemnly.
Alu looked at Liu Yi in surprise, "Your Majesty, but after all, those people are ours, and our people are treated like this, we can't just ignore it, right? There are a lot of words on the Internet."
Ah Xuan, who was waiting all over, stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Master Lu, the prince naturally has his own opinions, so please don't disobey the prince's orders!"
Alu bit his lip, his expression darkened, and he knelt down in front of Liu Yi and said: "Your Majesty, I know you don't like it, but there are some things Alu still wants to say! The emperor wants Alu to assist the prince, and Alu needs to know
All the words are endless. Now the emperor and Luo Huang have joined forces and finally waited for this great opportunity. Luo Huang has formed a siege on the capital from the east, but the prince deliberately stopped in Kunlun. Aru is stupid and really can't understand the prince.
Why is this! Aru is just a slave and cannot be the master of his master, but Aru cannot live up to the emperor’s expectations! Aru is here to plead with the prince, please put the overall situation first!"
Liu Yi sneered and asked suddenly: "You mean, I am deliberately stalling and ruining the grand plan between the emperor brother and Emperor Luo?"
Aru was startled and quickly lowered his head and said: "I don't dare! It's just that the prince refuses to move forward. There is indeed no reason!"
"I have said that now in the army, I am a general, and I do not need to make any explanations to anyone, including you!" Liu Yi said coldly.
Aru frowned and whispered: "Since the prince is so stubborn, don't blame Aru for reporting today's incident to the emperor!"
"Aren't you following me just to spy on me? When did you stop reporting my king's affairs to the imperial brother?" Liu Yi sneered and squinted at him.
Aru's face turned red when he was blocked. He hesitated for a moment, clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, I'm resigning!"
Liu Yi turned away and ignored him.
In front of the house opposite, three Rao soldiers had been beaten to the ground, especially the leader Ma Qi, who had long since died.
The people around him were all gasping for air. No one knew who shouted, and all the people knelt down.
Ying Qian, who was standing outside the door, turned in. Soon, a woman in white slowly walked out of the house. As soon as Liu Yi saw the woman, the coldness on his face disappeared and was replaced by a touch of surprise.
Chu Yiqing stood on the steps, looked at the kneeling people, and said softly: "Folks, get up quickly!"
"Mrs. Li, now that we believe it, we hope that Mrs. Li will not blame us for our previous recklessness and ask Mrs. Li to save us!" someone shouted loudly.
"Yes, yes, Mrs. Li, we are all poor people, and we hope Mrs. Li can help us!" Many people agreed.
Chu Yiqing whispered: "In that case, everyone should line up and register over there. After registering, each household can receive a silver chess piece with a word "Li" on it. Put this flag in front of the door. I
I will try my best to keep you safe!"
Everyone quickly responded and happily stepped forward to get the flag.
"Everyone, stop crowding and take your time! There is one more important thing. After everyone goes back, we have to start a normal life, especially in those places. We can't delay it any longer!" Chu Yiqing quickly comforted them and said.
"We all listen to Mrs. Li!" Everyone nodded.
Chu Yiqing nodded, watching Fifteen and the others busy, and was about to turn around. Suddenly, she raised her head and looked at the teahouse opposite.
"Miss, what's wrong?" Yingqian asked in a low voice.
Chu Yiqing said calmly: "A friend has arrived, Yingqian, let Lei Yuan go to the opposite side and invite the friend to the house for a cup of tea!"
Yingqian looked at the teahouse opposite and nodded quickly.
In the hall, Chu Yiqing was sitting upright. She had many guesses about the identity of the person coming, but when Yingqian led the person into the house, she was still stunned.
He has grown up and grown taller. He was clearly a child before, but now he has grown into a handsome man. He is dressed in black with a silver dragon on it. He has a full forehead, dark eyebrows, extremely bright eyes, and a straight nose.
, the child from before was standing there, clearly already a world-shaking king!
Chu Yiqing stood up slowly and stared blankly at the man in front of him, speechless for a long time.
Liu Yi stood in front of Chu Yiqing, his breathing suddenly stopped, and the air suddenly became surprisingly quiet. His eyes were black, with moist mist under his eyes, staring at her, holding his breath.
"Aunt Chu!" Suddenly, he called out in a low voice and knelt on one leg in front of Chu Yiqing.
Chu Yiqing was startled, and quickly stepped forward to help him up, and whispered: "Silly boy, why are you giving such a big gift? You..."
"Liu Yi pays homage to Aunt Chu. Aunt Chu, I haven't seen you for these years. How are you?" Liu Yi whispered, his eyes trembling.
Chu Yiqing nodded, quickly asked him to sit down, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that we would meet in such a situation! If my prediction is correct, you will lead the army of Rao Jun, right? There are many words on the net."
Liu Yi bit his lip and hesitated for a moment, but still nodded. He lowered his eyes and whispered: "Aunt Chu, I'm sorry!"
Chu Yiqing breathed a sigh of relief and looked at him gently: "I'm sorry for what?"
"Liu Yi violated Aunt Chu's teachings to Liu Yi, Liu Yi is ashamed of Aunt Chu!" Liu Yi said solemnly.
"Fool, now you are King Huinan of the Rao Kingdom. This prince looks at the scenery and has boundless power, but I am afraid that he does not have the freedom of a young man! I can see your elder brother's thoughts many years ago.
Come out, you are just a pawn of his!" Chu Yiqing patted his shoulder kindly.
"Aunt Chu, I..." Liu Yi sighed deeply, "Aunt Chu, don't you blame me?"
"It's not you, it could be someone else. On the contrary, you are the one leading the troops, but I can rest assured that at least you have a benevolent heart and will not harass the people!" Chu Yiqing said calmly.
Liu Yi bit his lip and whispered: "I'm sorry Aunt Chu, my eldest brother..."
"Everyone has his own ambitions, and your eldest brother is a good king!" Chu Yiqing smiled lightly, "You came today, didn't you want to get those soldiers back? There are a lot of words on the net."
Liu Yi quickly raised his head and said, "Aunt Chu, Liu Yi doesn't dare. Those people violated military orders, so Aunt Chu will deal with them! Liu Yi can also guarantee that our soldiers will never harass the people again!"
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "Thank you Liu Yi, I thank you on behalf of millions of people!"
Liu Yi lowered his head and said: "Aunt Chu, how can I afford this thank you? It was me and my people who invaded their home!"
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "As I said, without you, your elder brother would have sent someone else. If I were to say that the initiator was me, if I hadn't saved your brothers, maybe Li Country wouldn't have had this catastrophe!
"
Liu Yi said apologetically: "Aunt Chu, now the eldest brother has reached an agreement with Emperor Luo. Emperor Luo has led a hundred thousand soldiers to surround the capital from the east. Aunt Chu, please ask the fifth prince to prepare!"
"Lan Yi is also here to get involved?" Chu Yiqing was stunned, and his expression changed drastically.
"Emperor Luo has always had ambitions towards the Li Kingdom. Ever since he was driven out of the Li Kingdom by Aunt Chu, he has been recuperating and recuperating for so many years just for this day! Aunt Chu, although I don't want to help my eldest brother become an enemy of the Li Kingdom, I can't help myself after all.
, now I can only hold off the soldiers and will not attack the capital for the time being, Aunt Chu and the Fifth Prince should make preparations in advance!"
Chu Yiqing breathed a sigh of relief and gently held Liu Yi's hands: "Liu Yi, thank you very much!"
Liu Yi shook his head, hesitated and asked, "Aunt Chu, how is Mai Xiang?"
Chu Yiqing asked with a smile: "Do you still like the fragrance of wheat?"
Liu Yi blushed in embarrassment and nodded, "But Mai Xiang must be resentful of me. Last time my eldest brother went there, he seemed to have said some bad words, and Mai Xiang actually returned all the tokens I gave her!
"
"That's because your elder brother said that he gave that thing in order to make Mai Xiang give up and let Mai Xiang know the gap between him and you!" Chu Yiqing said calmly, "Seeing you like this now, you still feel
There is Mai Xiang, and I am happy for Mai Xiang! But Liu Yi, your status is different now. Your elder brother has too high expectations for you, and Mai Xiang is just a farm girl. Are you sure about the future of you and Mai Xiang?
If you're not sure, I advise you not to disturb Mai Xiang's life. Maybe you and her are just a childhood memory, and after so many years, it should fade away!"
Liu Yi looked at Chu Yiqing blankly and whispered: "Aunt Chu, I thought you would support me and Mai Xiang, just like Aunt Chu and the Fifth Prince..."
Chu Yiqing smiled bitterly and said: "Liu Yi, Aunt Chu is not sure that she can handle the intrigues in your palace, let alone Mai Xiang! Li Huang and I are deeply in love and cannot extricate ourselves. We can only lean on each other and come forward, and you and
Fragrant wheat…”
Liu Yi's eyes darkened and he said: "Aunt Chu, Liu Yi understands!"
Seeing him like this, Chu Yiqing couldn't help but said: "Mai Xiang has not forgotten you over the years, but not forgetting does not mean that the two of you can be together. Liu Yi, although you are one person among ten thousand people,
But it’s getting more and more like this. This kind of child-related matter is becoming more and more out of your control. Now you can’t even control your own destiny. How can you control Mai Xiang’s destiny? You and Mai Xiang are both children I value. I don’t want to
You guys work so hard!”
Liu Yi nodded and said with a wry smile: "Aunt Chu, you don't have to say anything, Liu Yi understands!"
Chu Yiqing patted Liu Yi's shoulder gently to express comfort.
After returning to the camp from Kunlun City, Ah Xuan looked at his depressed master and couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, you..."
"Axuan, I'm tired and want to be alone for a while!" Liu Yi whispered.
Ah Xuan nodded, dismissed the soldiers, and guarded outside the tent by himself.
Aru has packed his luggage and is preparing to return to Raojing in person to report.
"Lord Lu!" Ah Xuan strode forward and begged: "Your Majesty is young and energetic, please don't be angry, Lord Lu!"
Alu said coldly: "The prince is the master, and we are slaves. How dare we be angry with the master? It's just that the emperor asked Alu to assist the prince, but the prince always treated Alu as an outsider. Alu had insulted the emperor's mission, and Alu was ashamed.
!”
Ah Xuan whispered: "Master Lu, you have followed the emperor for so many years. You should know that the emperor loves the prince very much and even intends to abdicate the throne to the prince!"
Alu nodded: "The emperor has such great expectations for the prince, but the prince... Alu is really disappointed!"
Ah Xuan smiled lightly and said: "The most important thing for a minister is to know how to assess the situation. Since you know that the prince is likely to inherit the throne in the future, why can't you leave yourself a way out?"
Alu was startled, then turned to look at Ah Xuan: "What do you mean? Are you threatening me?"
"A-Xuan is just an attendant of the prince. How dare he threaten Mr. Lu? A-Xuan is only thinking about the prince and Mr. Lu!" A-Xuan quickly lowered his eyes and lowered his eyebrows, clasping his fists.
"The emperor has been kind to Alu, and Alu will never deceive the emperor!" Alu said coldly.
"Sometimes, hiding something and not reporting it is not deception!" Ah Xuan whispered.
Aru was startled and said coldly: "I know how to report to the emperor, I don't need you to teach me! You should take good care of the prince!"
Ah Xuan narrowed his eyes and lowered his eyebrows and pushed him aside.
Aru took a dozen soldiers with him, got on his horse and left quickly.
Ah Xuan sighed quietly.
capital.
Spring has just begun, and it is obviously a prosperous season, but the capital city, which is besieged by a large army, is lifeless and has lost its former prosperity. Above the gray city gate of the capital city, there are soldiers and archers all over the place, always in readiness. Emperor Li and Li Li stood quietly among those
Behind the archer, the looker looks at the silent land, his sight is as cold and indifferent as the late winter moon, but there is worry and anxiety that others cannot detect...
"Your Majesty, spies have come to report that Luo's 100,000-strong army has advanced another five miles and is approaching the capital! If the Kunlun army gathers together and fights with Luo's army, they will definitely surround the capital.
It's as big as a barrel, I'm afraid it's hard to defend the capital!" Yang Xin said, "The emperor needs to make up his mind as soon as possible!"
"Your Majesty, in the opinion of the humble ministers, it is better to evacuate the capital first. It's just Rao's army that we can't resist, plus Luo's army..." A minister stood up and said.
"No, you must not!" Yang Xin said quickly, "The capital is the center of the country. Once the emperor leaves the capital, the morale of the army will be in chaos, and the country will be in danger!"
"But now the outcome is very clear. The army led by General Chu has been retreating steadily. They have been out for two months, but they have won a battle? Wei Chen's suggestion is also for the safety of the emperor, in case the capital city is breached.
if……"
"Gao Zheng, you are trying to destroy others' ambitions and destroy your own prestige. There is no war yet, why do you say victory or defeat has been decided?" Yang Xin glared angrily, wishing to kick Gao Zheng off the city wall who advocated retreat.
"That's enough, you all shut up, Chu Aiqing, what do you say?" Li Li shouted coldly, slowly turning his eyes to Chu Zhantian behind him.
Chu Zhantian clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, I sincerely ask you to allow me to go on an expedition and make meritorious deeds!"
Li Li suddenly smiled: "Let you lead the troops?"
Chu Zhantian knelt on the ground: "As long as the emperor trusts me!"
Li Li frowned slightly: "I don't trust you!"
Chu Zhantian froze.
Suddenly, a soldier ran up the city wall and shouted: "Your Majesty, the Luo army has encountered an ambush and has stopped advancing!"
Li Li was startled and asked urgently: "Ambush? Where are they from?"
The soldier said loudly: "Report to the emperor, it's the prince. The prince is back!"
