The emperor did not see the imposing manner displayed by the officials of the King of Wu, but the people of Wu saw the emperor's imposing manner first.
Along the way, he announced the local area and attracted countless people to see it. Everyone knew that the imperial soldiers were going to attack Wu. They were originally panic-stricken. Now the imperial soldiers and horses have really arrived, but there are only three hundred, which is not as many as the Wu soldiers who followed.
And the emperor is among them.
They came not to attack Wu, but to visit the King of Wu. The people of Wu rushed to celebrate and gathered around to watch the emperor.
By the time the emperor arrived at Wudu, countless people were already following behind him. They were supporting the elderly and the young, dragging their families along with them, and they were shouting: Your Majesty——
The emperor's three hundred soldiers and horses could not be seen, and there were only unarmed people around him. The emperor supported an old man with one hand and held a handful of rice in the other. He discussed farming with him seriously, and finally sighed: "The land of Wu is rich, and I have no worries about food and clothing.
"
The people shouted joyfully: "Your Majesty's Glory!"
Is the emperor's aura different from the legend, or is he older? Officials in Wudi have many impressions that the emperor is still a fifteen-year-old boy who just ascended the throne - after all, the emperor has been weak in the face of the princes and kings for decades.
The emperor cried out and asked the princes to defend his throne. When the old King Wu came to Beijing, the emperor even rode with him.
With this momentum now - no wonder Emperor Wu dared to go to war. The officials were frightened and a little panicked, and dispersed the people. There were indeed only three hundred soldiers and horses around the emperor. He stood inconspicuously outside the huge capital, except for the armored general beside him.
——Because he wears an iron mask on his face.
They all know General Iron Mask. This veteran general is as important in the imperial court as Taifu Chen was in the Kingdom of Wu. He is an important minister leading the army.
Judging from the chaos of the Five Kingdoms, General Iron Mask and Taifu Chen are about the same age. They are also very old at this time. You can't see their faces. The cloak and armor cover their whole bodies. Their bodies are a little bloated, and their exposed hands are withered and yellow——
The iron-masked general glanced over with sharp eyes. Even though the iron mask blocked it, he was still cold and frightening. Those who spied on him quickly looked away.
A group of officials no longer held up ceremonial guards, and said that the king was greeting His Majesty outside the palace - it was not enough to come to the city gate to greet him. After all, when the princes and kings came to the capital, the emperor would step down from the dragon chair to greet him.
It is the courtesy of a minister to welcome the king in front of the palace gate.
The emperor was not dissatisfied at all and walked towards the palace with a smile.
General Iron Mask looked back and saw that Chen Danzhu could not be seen in the crowd. Since the emperor landed, King Wu's eunuch guards and officials along the way swarmed in front of the emperor, but Chen Danzhu often could not see him.
arrive.
"Where is Taifu Chen? I haven't seen him for more than ten years. The last time we met at a distance was in Yandi." The iron-faced general suddenly asked a Wu minister, "Why don't you see him here? Is it possible that you don't like to see your majesty?"
Wu Chen's eyelids jumped when he was asked. He looked around at the people around him. The people around him turned their heads as if they didn't hear him. He could only say vaguely: "Taifu Chen - is sick. The general should know that Taifu Chen is not in good health."
The iron-faced general said, "I know that he has lost one leg, just one leg, so it doesn't mean he is not in good health."
If Master Chen comes, you will not be able to reach the capital now. Wu Chen dodged and turned his head and ignored: "Ah, the palace is coming soon."
The Iron-faced General did not ask any more questions, and whispered a few words to the guard beside him. The guard stepped away. He looked at the crowd surging behind him again, withdrew his gaze and followed the emperor towards Wu Palace.
Chen Danzhu went home after the emperor entered the capital. Compared to the hustle and bustle in the city, Chen's residence was extremely quiet.
Chen Danzhu stopped at the street intersection.
In that life, she was caught and met the emperor and sent to Peach Blossom Temple. When she passed by the door of her house, she saw a ruins in the distance. The fire that had been burning for an unknown period of time was still burning. A Tian held her eyes tightly.
, but she still saw the remains being carried out——
The Chen family was not from Wu. Emperor Gaozu of Great Xia conferred the title of king on the princes and appointed auxiliary officials of the fief. The Chen family was granted the title to the King of Wu and moved from the capital to the capital of Wu with the King of Wu.
At that time, the Great Xia Dynasty was unstable, and the princes and kings had to quell the chaos even if they were in charge. The Chen family had been leading troops to fight and suffered too many casualties, so when they came to the prosperous and fertile land of Wu, the population did not flourish. By the time of my father's generation,
There were only three brothers. The two uncles were not in good health and did not practice martial arts. They worked as idle civil servants in the palace. The father inherited the position of Taifu and gave up a leg and a son. In the end, the whole family was burned to death.
.
Chen Danzhu lowered his head and looked at the tears falling on his dress.
"Second Miss." A Tian called carefully from behind. She wanted to comfort her but didn't know how to comfort her. Of course she also knew what the young lady's actions meant to the master. Alas, the master would have beaten the young lady to death. "Otherwise
Let’s go to the palace first.”
Maybe let King Wu appease the master——
Chen Danzhu raised his head: "No need."
A Tian shook Chen Danzhu's sleeve: "Miss, don't be afraid, A Tian is with you."
She was not afraid. She had seen so many terrible things in her life. Chen Danzhu smiled at her and took A Tian's hand: "Let's go home."
The two little girls ran forward hand in hand. When they turned around the street, they saw forbidden soldiers surrounding the Chen family's mansion.
"Miss!" A Tian was startled.
Chen Danzhu was very happy. There were soldiers guarding the place, which meant that everyone was still there. How good it was.
Seeing Chen Danzhu approaching, the guards hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether to stop him or not. Wang Ling said that no one person or dog from the Chen family was allowed to run out, but he did not say whether he would allow the Chen family to run in, let alone Chen Danzhu.
The second lady still took Wang Ling's messenger. When they hesitated, Chen Danzhu ran over and called the door.
"Second Miss?" The voice behind the door was surprised, but she didn't open the door, as if she didn't know what to do.
"I know my father is very angry." Chen Danzhu understood their mood, "I went to see my father to confess."
The person behind the door hesitated for a moment, slowly opened the door a crack, and looked at her with a complicated expression: "Second Miss, you'd better go."
As soon as he finished speaking, there were chaotic footsteps inside, mixed with the servants exclaiming "Master!"
Chen Danzhu crossed the crack in the door and saw Chen Liehu striding towards him with a sword in his hand, flanked by panicked servants. "Master, your legs!" "Master, you can't get up now."
Chen Liehu's leg was more lame than before, but he didn't need anyone to support him and shouted: "Let her in!"
The concierge stepped aside with a pale face, and Chen Danzhu walked in through the crack in the door. Before he could call his father, Chen Liehu threw the sword in his hand.
