Which one is more important?
Xiao Chen murmured in despair. At this moment, he couldn't give an answer.
But there was only one voice in his heart, he couldn't give up Concubine Shu!
"Brother Dongyang, thank you very much. I'll think of other ways." Xiao Chen cupped his hands bitterly and turned to leave.
His figure was as lonely as ever before. Although he still had a beautiful purple python and a wise man's crown, his whole person had lost the calm, calm and majestic aura of the past, and was only filled with worry.
Looking at Xiao Chen's back, Zhang Dongyang felt complicated for a moment and sighed: "What is love in the world..."
Walking in the capital late at night, the shadow of the moon stretched Xiao Chen's lonely body. Zhang Dongyang's words reminded him that there were indeed two forces at play in Xiao Chen's heart at this time. One was his future; It's Concubine Shu.
The cold moonlight lingered on the palace wall. Xiao Chen stopped and looked far away, as if he could see the gentle look of Concubine Shuyi in the Shuya Palace.
There is also her pride, her elegance, and everything she gave to herself when she first came into this world.
Xiao Chen didn't know how much weight he held in Concubine Shu's heart, but he knew very well that in his mind, all the thousands of beauties in the palace together were not as important as Concubine Shu alone.
When he was melancholy, suddenly there was a smell of alcohol behind him, and a drunk man staggered over. Cao Liang's mouth was full of the smell of alcohol, "Hey, isn't this the famous Governor Xiao of our Dachu East Factory? "
"Why, your old master entered the cold palace, and Governor Xiao suddenly became a lost dog?"
"Hey, I told you earlier, Governor Xiao, you shouldn't have been an enemy of this young master at that time."
The drunkenness made Cao Liang's words and deeds erroneous tonight, but he still had fresh memories of the injustice he suffered at Xiao Chen's place last time. Seeing Xiao Chen appear in front of him in such a dejected state, Cao Liang forced himself to wake up and correct himself. The clothes smelled of wine and gave off an elegant and clear demeanor, looking down at Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen frowned coldly, feeling that the smell of alcohol on Cao Liang was nauseating. Of course, he didn't bother to care about why he was so rude. He just took a step back coldly and said disgustedly: "Mr. Cao, it's cold at night, and I don't want to Talk to an alcoholic.”
Cao Liang's eyes were fixed, and he stood up straighter. Although he was smelling heavily of alcohol, he still looked at Xiao Chen with a cold expression, and stretched out his fingers that could not be straightened, "Xiao Chen, I tell you, In this current situation, it is absolutely impossible for you to rescue Concubine Shu."
"And, let me tell you... Concubine Shu is just the beginning, the next step is yourself!"
"So Governor Xiao, what you should do most now is not to save Concubine Shu, but to protect yourself. As long as you can wag your tail and act like a dog in front of Zhou Tianfu now, he will spare your life... Haha..."
After Cao Liang finished speaking, his eyes became confused and chaotic again. He raised his head in vain and staggered forward, "Who should be spared in this dark capital..."
"This young master is not allowed to be free, and neither are you, Xiao Chen... woof woof! Xiao Chen, you go and be a dog, the Zhou family's dog..."
"Brush! With one knife, the Zhou family slashed Concubine Shu's neck and killed her!"
Xiao Chen's cold eyes were deeply focused, a long-suppressed anger filled his chest, and his fists could not help but be clenched.
Although you can't argue with an alcoholic, if this alcoholic dares to scold Concubine Shu and touch her, that's a different matter!
"court death!"
As soon as the cold voice came out, Xiao Chen flew up with a fierce kick and kicked Cao Liang to the ground. His cold eyes were filled with hatred and anger, and his fists hit Cao Liang's face.
The boy who followed Cao Liang was so frightened that he hurriedly came to pull Xiao Chen away, but how could he be Xiao Chen's opponent? Xiao Chen knocked him away with one punch, and then continued to beat Cao Liang with his big fist.
Cao Liang woke up from most of the wine and found that it was Xiao Chen who was beating him. A flash of surprise suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Xiao Chen, you don't want to live anymore? I am the Duke of Qin, you are not afraid that the Duke of Qin will come to you." Revenge?"
Xiao Chen became even more excited when he heard this. Seeing that he had come to his senses, this time he directly stepped on his lifeline with his foot, making him unable to move, "Revenge? How dare you let your father know that you came out to drink before we talk!"
"Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen, stop it!" Cao Liang struggled angrily, his face already bruised and bruised, but his lifeline was stepped on by Xiao Chen, so he didn't dare to act rashly and could only curse angrily. "Xiao Chen, you are the Zhou family's dog, sooner or later you will be! Your concubine Shu will also be beheaded..."
boom! boom! boom!
Xiao Chen's big fist hit Cao Liang one after another. The capital was quiet late at night, except for the occasional patrolling soldier walking through the long street not far away.
In the dark corner, Cao Liang didn't dare to scold loudly because he didn't care about his face. Xiao Chen was happy to use him as a punching bag, beating him until he was exhausted.
Finding that Cao Liang had fainted at some point, Xiao Chen treated him like garbage and kicked him to the side deeper into the darkness, and walked tiredly to Dongchang.
After venting, his body was exhausted, but Xiao Chen's mind became increasingly clear.
All the haze dissipated, and the moonlight above his head seemed to be brighter. Xiao Chen looked up at the dense palace wall, and a bold but firm idea emerged in his mind.
Gradually, Xiao Chen put away his fatigue, straightened the flying golden purple python that symbolized power, and walked towards the direction of Dongchang.
…
After returning to Dongchang, Xiao Chen began to make arrangements for leaving the palace, asking Xiang Yichun and others to prepare in advance. He also called Lin Yi to Lin Shi and told them to be on standby at any time and to take all precautions after leaving the palace.
When several people heard what Xiao Chen said, they couldn't help but have a trace of relieved joy on their faces. Xiang Yichun grinned and asked: "Master Governor, have you finally figured it out and want to give up Concubine Shu?"
Xiao Chen glanced at him, his eyes were deep, and his cold face concealed a strategy that was difficult for others to detect, but his thin lips were slightly pursed, keeping it secret.
There was nothing airtight in the imperial city. In less than a day, the news that Xiao Chen was preparing to go south spread like wildfire.
When she heard this report, Concubine Rong was leaning on the soft couch in the palace and eating grapes leisurely. The beauty's charming eyes slightly raised, and a glint of pride flashed past, "Well, it seems that he is... I have decided to give up on Concubine Shu. Sure enough... a slave is a slave after all. How much friendship can there be for someone who is determined to climb up?"
"However, after this battle, Xiao Chen's mental energy has been exhausted, and our affairs will be more successful."
"You go back and tell father that you will arrange an ambush on Jiangdong Road as usual. Remember to be fully prepared."
"yes!"
Xizuo, the daughter of the Zhou family dressed as a palace maid, responded and respectfully stepped out.
Concubine Rong lay down on the soft couch more comfortably. Her face, which had not been put on makeup because she was pretending to be ill, was still gorgeous and special. But when she looked out the window, the fierceness in her beautiful eyes made people shudder.
Xiao Chen, you, this dog slave, will definitely go away and never come back.
