I want to ask what confidence Zheng Quchi has in his hands to challenge a queen who is deeply rooted in the country of Ye?
That, of course, is the army behind her.
Not only does she have the Four Elephants Army left behind by her late husband, but she even has the golden seal of the three national defense armies stationed in the royal city of Shengjing now in her hands.
It can be said that in the entire Shengjing, you can mess with anyone, but you can't mess with her.
The emperor was angry and laid down millions of corpses. That was because of the thousands of soldiers standing behind the emperor. In the same way, although Zheng Quchi was not the emperor, she could overthrow the entire Yuan Dynasty with the troops she controlled. As long as she was not afraid of being criticized afterwards. Cutting down and punishing, history records rebellious ministers and traitors.
"You, you want to rebel?" Liu Fengmian looked at her in shock.
Zheng Quchi slapped his palm on the table and said with a righteous voice, "What kind of rebellion is this? We are trying to bring order out of chaos and uphold orthodoxy!"
Liu Fengmian immediately understood what she meant, and he stammered: "No, no, it's a big deal after all. Leading a large army into the palace is a big deal. How about we check the situation first, just in case..."
"I can't wait any longer." Zheng Quchi raised his face seriously and said indignantly: "She really thinks that Yuan Xingzhou is an orphan now and has no one to rely on, so she can let her bully her, right? I told him that at the beginning Well, he has no one to rely on, so I will be his backer. No matter what the situation is, I will choose to stand on the same side as him!"
Liu Fengmian was deeply moved by Zheng Quchi's firm words that valued love and justice. He didn't know how Yuan Xingzhou would feel if he heard these words.
"That, that..."
Just when Liu Fengmian was scratching his head and scratching his ears, not knowing whether to persuade or to move forward and retreat together, Zheng Quchi had already cut the knot quickly.
"Lanyue, you use my Luan bracelet as a token to summon two thousand Xuanjia troops. Kong Li, you take the three-army gold seal and go to the outside of the city to mobilize five hundred Yuan troops and five hundred soldiers. Let's meet at Xuanwu Gate at the end of the day. .”
Two figures flashed in the darkness in front of Zheng Quchi, half-kneeling to receive the object: "Lanyue (Kong Li) obeys the order."
Lan Yue and Kong Li took away the Luan bracelet and the golden seal of the three armies respectively, turned around and escaped into the thick night like shadows.
When he saw that Zheng Quchi was summoned by secret guards with superb martial arts skills, and could easily summon thousands of strong soldiers to clear the way for him, he immediately looked complicated and envious.
At about the same age, people have reached the pinnacle of their lives. After destroying a country, they can force their way into a palace with just one sentence.
But this is something they probably won't be able to do in their lifetime, or may not dare to do.
"Brother and sister, oh, no, Madam General, from now on, I, Liu Fengmian, will depend on you for my future and wealth. Don't worry, our Duke Liu's Palace will definitely stand with you and His Royal Highness. I will break into the palace with you right now. Rescue His Highness!"
He changed his hesitant look and vowed to express his sincerity and stand to her.
However, after Zheng Quchi looked at him, he walked up to him, put a palm on his shoulder, and said seriously: "You, don't go."
Mainly because there is no use in going there.
"Huh?" He looked confused and confused.
Why didn't he go?
"Lend me your brother Liu Chaiji."
Liu Fengmian lowered his eyebrows and was unconvinced: "No, why him...could he be more useful than me?"
Compared with strength, he has intelligence. Compared with force, he has intelligence. Compared with killing enemies, he has intelligence. How can he be more cost-effective than Liu Fengmian?
Zheng Quchi immediately gave him an affirmative look: "Of course not, it's just that the palace is too dangerous, so let Liu Chaiji go get some exercise. He will be a captain in the future, and this kind of scene will help him grow. "
Her explanation was reasonable and reasonable, and she did not say that he was a weakling who might not be able to help him in any way after entering the palace, and would indirectly become a burden to her, so she was asked to use her hands to protect him.
Liu Fengmian believed Zheng Quchi's words. Seeing that she really wanted to promote Liu Chaiji, a second-rate fool, he called Liu Chaiji who had just returned home, and repeatedly warned him that he would protect Zheng Quchi when he encountered danger and use his body as a shield when necessary. , blocking the sword and arrow for Zheng Quchi.
In front of Zheng Quchi, he behaved like a man who worked hard and sacrificed himself for his younger brother, but Liu Chaiji really heard that and remembered it in his heart.
"Don't worry, brother, I will definitely take the lead and protect Adjutant Zheng completely and fine, even if I die!" he promised.
Liu Fengmian saw that his younger brother was a fool, so he quickly took back his words: "Yeah, you don't have to risk everything. You have to protect yourself. If you can avoid danger..."
"It is absolutely impossible to hide. I understand what brother means. I will definitely fight the enemy bravely and fight to the death for our Duke's government!"
Liu Fengmian: "..." Why does he sound like he is ready to die in battle at any time? If the old father comes back and finds out that he is the one encouraging Liu San to commit stupidity, won't he be beaten to death by the old father?
Zheng Quchi watched from the sidelines as the two brothers got along with each other. One was really smart and the other was naive. One would believe it when he opened his mouth, and the other would believe it when he heard it.
"Brother Liu, don't worry, I will keep an eye on him and won't let him act recklessly."
Now that her brother and sister are still being entertained by the Liu family, in return she will definitely take more care of Liu Chaiji and will not really use him as a human shield.
"Then please take care of the general's wife. Don't look at him like a wild monkey. In fact, he is the person our father loves the most. He left home in anger some time ago. Although my father didn't say it, he often He sighed at home, worried that he would be bullied by others outside." Liu Fengmian sighed and shook his head.
Zheng Quchi could tell that Liu Fengmian really loved his younger brother, although he never said he would spare anyone.
"He is your younger brother and also my subordinate. You don't need to be warned by Brother Liu, I will treat him as my younger brother as well."
Liu Chaiji was not very happy with Liu Fengmian at this time and said: "Second brother, Adjutant Zheng is very kind to me. The injury on her hand was a hidden weapon for saving me. On the contrary, I didn't even scratch off a piece of skin. Brother, What I just said was not a joke, nor was it because of your request, but I meant it sincerely! I don’t need Adjutant Zheng to take care of me, but if she is in danger, I will definitely rush forward without hesitation! "
Liu Fengmian was stunned. He didn't know that Zheng Quchi was injured because he saved Liu Chaiji, but he also knew that Liu Chaiji would never lie. If he said that Zheng Quchi saved him, it must be true.
An adjutant ignored his own safety to protect an ordinary soldier on the battlefield. This is enough to prove that Zheng Quchi is a person worthy of trust and following.
"Okay, I didn't say anything. Look how impatient you are. Anyway, since you are willing to be loyal to the general's wife, you must understand that loyalty is not a moment of enthusiasm, but a carefully considered choice. Do you understand?" Liu Fengmian was disappointed this time. It is the true way.
Liu Chaiji's eyes widened, his still young soul burning with enthusiasm: "I understand, I've thought about it a long time ago."
Liu Fengmian said to Zheng Quchi again: "Since the general's wife likes Liu San, and Liu San is willing to follow the general's wife, then the Duke's Office has no objection, so I will let you do what you want."
Zheng Quchi had just been Zhenger Bajing and Liu Fengmian's "important person". It was not that she needed someone to help her in the short term, but that she sincerely wanted to help Liu Chaiji reach a higher level and become a useful talent in Ye country.
Through the Six Nations Military Trial, she saw how amazing Liu Chaiji's growth ability was. After she deliberately lured Mo Ye and others to the shore of Bailu Lake, he was able to rely on his own ability to support the camp rescue and finally repel him. Julu Jun, he has all the qualities of a general who is calm in times of crisis.
"I just wanted to say that Liu Chaiji will be a man of great achievements. I am very optimistic about his future achievements. I hope that Brother Liu and Duke Liu will also encourage and expect more from him."
Hearing this, Liu Chaiji looked at Zheng Quchi with bright eyes, and his whole body swayed like a flower.
Liu Fengmian glanced at Liu Chaiji's happy and proud expression, and couldn't help but smile and said, "This boy is only as good as the General's wife in recognizing heroes."
But he was completely relieved. In the past, he was always worried that Liu Chaiji would let his temper go out and stubbornly refuse to go home even if he broke into a bloody mess. But now he has someone who can tame him and make him obedient and considerate. A generous and righteous person restrains him and regulates his progress. This is a good karma and a favor.
——
Xuanwu Gate is the north gate of the palace. At this time, the lights are brightly lit in front of the majestic palace gate. A large number of imperial guards holding torches are stationed at the three gates. No officials or their family members are allowed to approach to inquire.
In front of the Xuanwu Gate, many anxious officials came, as well as family members and stewards of officials who had been urgently summoned into the palace and had left the palace gate but had not yet returned.
They tried to get close to the Xuanwu Gate and inquired about the news from the guards, but the other party, Rong Xiaosha Lenglie, said "no comment" and drove them away fiercely.
They were worried about their families and whether something serious had happened to the palace, so they did not dare to return home. Instead, they lingered hesitantly and anxiously in front of the palace gate, hoping for a turn in the situation.
Until someone heard a large number of rustling footsteps coming from behind, they looked back in surprise, but their faces were full of disbelief.
An army as unstoppable as thunder was approaching the Xuanwu Gate. The black energy rushed straight into the world, gathering like tigers. The might of the army frightened the guards in front of the Xuanwu Gate to the point where they were all sweating and yelled hurriedly. Close the palace door tightly.
Until someone saw the flying military flag that looked like a black black flag, someone rushed forward and shouted: "Who is coming?"
The Kuroshio army was unified and stopped in front of the Xuanwu Gate. The black armor reflected the cold light reflected by the torches, making their hands and feet weak, and they even lost the courage to confront them.
Zheng Quchi was sitting alone in a carriage. Just now in Liu's Mansion, she drank a large bowl of tonic. The doctor specially added analgesic and refreshing effects to this medicine. After drinking it, she felt less uncomfortable.
"Tell them to open the palace door quickly, we want to enter the palace."
"yes."
The deputy commander of the Xuanjia Army stepped forward and shouted to the people above the palace gate: "Open the palace gate quickly, our general's wife wants to enter the palace!"
General's wife?
They did not expect that the visitor would be Zheng Quchi, and seeing the domineering attitude of the other party approaching the city, it seemed that if they refused to let them go, they would just force their way in.
The guard glanced at the opponent's army and horses. No matter in terms of number or deterrence, they were not comparable to them.
He asked with a trembling voice: "May I ask... what is the reason why the general's wife came into the palace late at night?"
"Tell them that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been in the palace to investigate the sudden death of King Ye for a long time, but no news has been released yet. In order to prevent anyone from interfering with it, endangering the palace, and confusing right and wrong, the general's wife entered the palace late at night as a thief of Xiao Qingyi's party. , to declare the suppressed justice to the world.”
The deputy commander-in-chief Zheng Quchi's words came out truthfully, but he heard that all the defenders were frightened and sweating profusely.
They argued forcefully: "There is no trouble in the palace. The general's wife does not need to worry about His Royal Highness. It is getting late today, and it is not too late to come back to the palace early tomorrow morning..."
"I'm afraid it will be too late by then. I just want to ask, will you give in?"
Zheng Quchi was too lazy to talk nonsense with them and directly issued an ultimatum.
The people around them took a breath. Their hearts were pressed with a heavy stone. Their bodies were unconsciously restrained by the strong airflow in front of them. They didn't even dare to blink their eyelids hard, and they had to breathe hard. Be cautious.
Seeing the opponent leading troops to press forward with a fierce momentum, how could they possibly block it if they wanted to? In the end, he had no choice but to ask the guards to avoid both sides and open the palace door to let them pass.
Powerful and domineering, he can adapt to everything, because now Zheng Quchi has absolute power in his hands, so even if he does unreasonable things, he can go through without hindrance.
"Madame General, do you know what consequences your actions today will bring?"
The guard of Xuanwu Gate couldn't help but asked loudly.
Zheng Quchi smiled when he heard this: "You should worry about yourselves first. If I find out that you are helping others to do evil, you will probably never have the chance to see me again in the future."
They clearly heard her neither salty nor bland smile, but immediately they felt a chill running from the soles of their feet to their heads, and they shivered violently.
"Surround all the main roads of the palace and find out where His Royal Highness is now."
"yes."
When the general's wife pierced through the "thick fog" hanging above the head of the Ye Palace like an invincible sword in the middle of the night, the officials and family members who were originally guarding in front of the Xuanwu Gate secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It felt like the "turnaround" they had been pleading for and longing for had finally appeared.
They were looking at her now as if they were looking at the bright moon in the sky, loving and excited at the same time, knowing that her "brilliance" could not only shine on His Royal Highness, but also on people like them who had suffered unreasonable disasters.
——
Just when Zheng Quchi was about to overturn the entire Ye Palace to look for people, he saw a group of guards wearing armor and swords rushing towards the south gate, covered in blood.
When Zheng Quchi saw this, his heart tightened, and he immediately sent someone to stop them. After removing their armor and handing over their weapons, the deputy commander of the Xuanjia Army escorted them to her carriage.
"Who are you?" Zheng Quchi asked.
"I-we are the Imperial Guards."
"Which palace is it from?"
"...It's Kunning Palace."
As soon as he heard that it was coming from Kunning Palace, Zheng Quchi couldn't control his temper and said angrily: "Tell me, what happened to His Royal Highness?"
However, upon hearing this, their expressions immediately looked like they were about to cry.
"We didn't do anything to him." (End of chapter)
