She didn't allow anyone to talk about King Chu.
People can talk about her, but people can't talk about King Chu.
Although the King of Chu became her husband and the relationship between the two parties was equal, Du Ruyan preferred to look up to her husband rather than looking down at that man.
He is a star, a star that can only be looked up to.
Du Ruyan has always thought so since the day King Chu rescued her.
"Little miss, I understand."
The maid lowered her head, looking embarrassed.
In fact, she didn't dare to really say that King Chu was wrong, she was just teasing him. She didn't expect her young lady to react like this.
Du Ruyan nodded, and then asked them to continue dressing him up.
While dressing up, Du Ruyan stared at her appearance intently, fearing that something was wrong and would mess up the most important day of her life.
the other side.
Li Kuan, who was dressed in happy clothes, was slightly speechless.
General White Tiger, who was opposite him, was also trapped.
what's the situation! !
It has only been more than a month since he sent the people and soldiers of Youzhou back to the Tang Dynasty. When he comes back, His Highness will be getting married?
this…….
Like a dream.
The important news made General Baihu forget that he had come back against orders.
"Bai Hu, you disobeyed me again."
Li Kuan rolled his eyes.
When General Baihu heard this, he remembered the matter and coughed and said: "Ahem, Your Highness, what is that? Isn't it that Youzhou City is heavily guarded? Then General Tiance regarded our King of Chu as a thorn in his flesh. It’s hard for me…”
Li Kuan interrupted directly: "Okay, Bai Hu, stop making excuses."
"Since you came back against my orders, just stay here. Today happens to be my king's happy event, so it's a blessing for you to catch up with me."
General Baihu laughed: "Hahaha, thank you, Your Highness!"
"Your Highness, I and I from the White Tiger Camp are back. Although we are disobedient, there are many benefits. For example, if you want to send people back to the Tang Dynasty in the future, we can continue to send them."
"And when Liang Shidu or Turks attack, our White Tiger Camp is here, so we can make more tactical arrangements and use them flexibly."
Li Kuan sighed: "That's what I said, but I am afraid that your family will miss you and be worried about you, so I let you go back. After all, it is your first time to go far away from the Great Wall for so long."
The atmosphere became a little sentimental.
General Baihu's eyes were lonely, and then he realized what he was doing and quickly changed the subject: "Your Highness, let's not talk about this. If we talk about your marriage with Miss Du, I will have to pay you a lot of attention."
"Hahaha, I was drunk by you before, but after so long, my drinking capacity has increased!"
Li Kuan smiled and said: "Okay, Bai Hu, you'd better not be convinced by me."
After chatting for a while, Li Kuan arranged for a few more wine tables to be prepared for General Baihu and his companions.
Then he went to attend the marriage ceremony.
Not long after.
In the quiet boudoir, Du Ruyan is dressed in a bright red wedding dress. She looks both shy and happy, looking at herself in the mirror, bright and moving.
"The young lady is so beautiful, and only His Highness can match her!"
The maid couldn't help but sigh.
The beauty of my own lady makes people feel that Nuwa is partial after just one look. She is so beautiful.
When Du Ruyan heard this, she couldn't help blushing with shame, her heart was filled with sweetness and expectation, the girl's feelings were poetic and picturesque, she had thought of growing old together with His Highness and having children and grandchildren, so she became even more embarrassed and lowered her head. Xiniang walked out with support.
Wearing a wedding dress and a red kerchief, she sat on a sedan chair and was carried into the temporary Chu Prince's Mansion amidst the cheers and congratulations of the people in Fushui Town.
Li Kuan and Du Ruyan, who were also dressed in wedding clothes, bowed to heaven and earth in front of all the guests. After sending her into the bridal chamber, they could not go in to accompany her, and had to come out to face the toasts of everyone.
At the wedding banquet, delicious delicacies were served one after another that dazzled the people who arrived.
Even though they are used to eating meat these days, they have never tasted anything like braised pork or other fancy dishes made from meat.
Beautiful and delicious!
It can be said that most of them have never seen it or heard of it!
General White Tiger was even more happy. He worked hard all the way with the White Tiger Camp, and then he opened it up and ate it when he came back.
"Come on, General White Tiger, don't just eat, you have to drink today."
Chen Qingzhi, who had just come in, said with a smile.
General Baihu shook his head: "No, no, no, no, no drinking."
He doesn't drink well and gets drunk easily. Once drunk, he loses energy and feels very uncomfortable.
Moreover, in the past, he was the only general in the King of Chu's army who could fight against foreigners. He sometimes went outside the Great Wall to attack the enemy's homeland. He often walked on the tightrope and had developed the habit of not drinking.
There was lively chatting and laughter during the dinner, and the atmosphere was extremely lively.
At this time Li Kuan came out, and everyone stood up to congratulate him.
"Your Highness, you are very happy today. I will give you a toast. I will drink three bowls, and you will have one bowl!"
Chen Qingzhi came forward with a wine bowl.
Captain Yang and several other people also gathered around with smiles.
Normally, everyone respects His Highness and even regards it as faith, but today is different. It is a rare opportunity to act wild.
Li Kuan couldn't help laughing when he looked at these guys with malicious intentions.
He had already been on guard against these guys, so he ordered his people to do something to prepare him with clean water.
Therefore, Li Kuan did not refuse, pushed the cup to the cup, and did not reject anyone who came. His face did not change, and he knocked down several people one by one.
Seeing that it was almost time, Li Kuan went to the bridal chamber.
Inside the bridal chamber.
As the door opened with a creak, Du Ruyan inside couldn't help but tremble.
She had nothing to do but thought about it. His Highness was going to receive General Chen and the others, and he might get very drunk. What should she do then? Do you want to lift off the red turban yourself?
But now I feel relieved when I hear His Highness's steps are steady.
It is said that women are prone to wandering thoughts, especially Du Ruyan, who got married today.
Listening to Li Kuan's footsteps approaching step by step, she felt a little twisted and nervous all over, and her hands were grasping the hem of her skirt.
"Yan'er."
Du Ruyan was so nervous that it took him a few seconds to react.
"Ah? Your Highness."
As soon as he finished speaking, the red headscarf was lifted off by King Chu.
Caught off guard, Du Ruyan couldn't help but look a little flustered, not daring to look at Li Kuan who was looking at him.
On the other hand, Li Kuan looked at her openly and calmly.
I have to say that Du Ruyan is so beautiful today.
It is beauty in every sense of the word.
And now, she is his wife.
Li Kuan smiled and said: "Yan'er, it's time to rest. I haven't touched you for several days."
Speaking of "touch", Du Ruyan blushed with embarrassment, lowered her head and had to say "hmm" cautiously.
This night.
It is destined to be sleepless, whether it is Prince Chu's Mansion or the entire Floating Water Town.
This is true.
.
….…….….….….
at the same time.
Chang'an City.
In prison.
In the cold prison, according to normal times, there would be no jailer or anyone else arriving at this time.
But today, a group of people came down to the prison, their pace was fast and firm, and they seemed to be heading towards a certain target prisoner.
Turn east and west.
This group of people finally stopped in front of the most securely arranged cell in the deepest part of the prison.
Inside the cell, it was dark.
One person looked at the blind leader, and when he got a nod from the other person, he lit a torch and pointed it at the inside of the cell, illuminating a corner of the cell.
in.
There is a person, a woman, being imprisoned.
Even in the cell, her whole body was bound by ropes.
The blind leader saw the woman and sneered: "Haha, look at you with disheveled hair, you are really embarrassed."
"Who would have thought that you would be the extremely arrogant second-in-command of the Twelve Nights, Maotu."
The person imprisoned inside was surprisingly Maotu.
She disobeyed the chief's order and chose to stay in Chang'an City with her people to cause trouble for Li Shimin's Qin Palace.
She wanted to cause trouble for Prince Qin's palace, and even wanted to kill General Tiance.
But she failed in the end.
If he failed and was captured, he would act on his own initiative just like Yin Hu and others at that time, and then pay the price for it.
The only difference is that Yin Hu and others are dead, but she is still alive, lingering... alive.
Maotu in the cell has lost her former charm. The many days in jail have made her eyes look a little dead. No, it is pure dead silence. Her whole body is dead and heavy.
She raised her head, glanced at the leader, tried her best to smile and said, "Hey, isn't this General Li of the Youzhou Tiger Li Army?"
"You were so majestic before, why are you missing arms and eyes now?"
Yes.
The person in front of me is Li Dajun.
At that time, after Mao Tu left Chang'an, his first battle was to assassinate Li Dajun, who was about to go to northern Xinjiang, to avenge Chou Niu.
But she miscalculated.
Li Dajun was well prepared. Not long after she took action, many troops quickly surrounded them.
The tide is over.
Even so, Mao Tu still made a last-ditch effort and used his sword to cut off Li Dajun's arm and blind his right eye.
Li Dajun became enemies with Mao Tu because of this matter, so General Tiance asked him not to return to Northern Xinjiang for the time being, and to be fully responsible for the Mao Tu trial, and to obtain more information from the King of Chu.
at this time.
When Li Dajun heard Mao Tu mentioning old things again, he felt the dull pain of losing his right eye, and he was furious: "Mao Tu, hum! What the general lost was his eye and arm, but what you lost is your life!"
“You’ll know who wins and who loses at a glance!”
Mao Tu looked a little helpless, and the chain around his neck jingled as he nodded: "Yes, yes, you are an older general. Compared with a little person like me, speaking of it, it is really an honor for me, Mao Tu."
"you!!!!"
Li Dajun took a step forward and pointed at her angrily.
Then he came to his senses and sneered: "Haha, I almost got angry with you again. Apart from that, where is the recruitment chain of the Orphan Army of the King of Chu under your charge?"
"Now that King Chu's situation is over, why not recruit him from the ground?"
Orphan Army.
It is the new force of the King of Chu and the most important military component.
The person who was responsible for recruiting them from the King of Chu's Ministry was called the King of Chu's Envoy by the world.
A person who goes to recruit orphans is called an envoy of the King of Chu, and a group of people who go to recruit orphans together is called an envoy of the King of Chu.
General Tiance and the court had no idea how the King of Chu recruited orphans.
In that war-torn era, the King of Chu and his people protected the King of Chu's envoys very well, and no one told them, so there is no news now.
And as long as you know this relationship chain, that is, how the Chu King's envoys recruit the orphan army, and the Chu King's envoys from various places who recruit the orphan army, then your Majesty can send people to take action, just like destroying the intelligence agency run by Youji, overnight Wipe it all out.
In that way, the King of Chu's army would no longer have a large number of orphans joining it, at least in the short term.
It can greatly impact the development of the King of Chu.
so.
As long as Mao Tu, the king of Chu, makes the leader speak, he will definitely be able to tell a lot.
She even knew the secrets of King Chu's envoys that were unknown to the King of Chu's troops.
After all, she is their leader.
"Here he comes again, General Li, General Li. Didn't I tell you that I don't know anything?"
"You may think that I am the leader of King Chu's envoys, but I am just a vase. How can anyone really let a woman be in power? The same is true for my Highness, so I really don't know."
Maotu said pretending to be relaxed.
Although many days in jail made her physically and mentally exhausted, she still pretended that nothing was wrong. She loved face too much. Perhaps arrogant people like to maintain face.
"Haha, I won't cry until I see the coffin."
Li Dajun sneered.
Tonight, he came prepared.
He waved his hand and said in a cold voice: "Bring them up."
soon.
Three women who were tied up were brought over.
When Mao Tu saw them, his eyes suddenly narrowed.
That's her maid!
There were a total of twenty maids who accompanied her to cause trouble in Chang'an City, twelve of them died in the battle, and eight escaped because she attracted the enemy troops.
And now, the three people in front of them are actually three of the eight people who escaped in the first place!
"Li Dajun, you... are really good at catching my people."
Maotu narrowed his eyes slightly.
Li Dajun sneered and said: "Haha, I am just a leader of troops, but not that capable. They came to rescue you and were caught by the jail guards."
"They thought there were only about 100 guards in this prison, but the general had secretly increased the number of guards to 500. They got wrong information, so they killed more than 20 guards, and then they were surrounded by more guards and captured .”
"Maotu, I have to say that your people are very loyal, or in other words, your people in the King of Chu's tribe are very loyal and willing to give everything for their master."
"I just don't know if you masters have the heart to sacrifice for your servants."
Maotu's expression rarely became serious: "What do you want?"
"You know what this general wants."
"That's impossible!"
"Oh, is it?"
Li Dajun took out a dagger and looked at it in front of his eyes. A cold light appeared in front of his eyes: "They were tortured, and you didn't tell them?"
Maotu was a little flustered: "What do you want to do?"
Li Dajun turned around and looked at the three maids who were bound and gagged. He said without looking back: "You will know later. No, if the time is moved forward, you will know now."
"Someone, take the thing off her mouth."
A guard cupped his hands and said, "Yes!"
He stepped forward and took away the gag. In an instant, the maid shouted loudly: "Miss, you must not say anything! You..."
Halfway through his words, a finger was cut off from his hand.
Even the severe pain did not make her cry out, she just groaned and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
"You...must, cannot, say..."
She said through gritted teeth.
My fingers hurt so much that it took all my strength to say these words.
"Xiaoyun!!"
Usagi yelled, his eyes red.
This surprised Li Dajun. This was the first time he saw Mao Tu having such ups and downs, and he immediately knew that he had done the right thing.
"How about it? Tell me?"
"If you don't say anything, this is just the beginning."
"The night is long, and we still have plenty of time."
He looked at Usagi.
Mao Tu stared at him fiercely: "Li Dajun! I was really stupid that night. My sword missed by three inches. Otherwise, your life would be over."
Mentioning that night again made Li Dajun furious: "Okay, haha, okay! Maotu, you still won't shed tears without seeing the coffin!"
"I would like to see how long your maid can last, General."
Swinging out again, Xiaoyun broke a finger again.
This time, she still didn't scream, but her forehead was sweating even more, and her face was full of suppressed pain.
Li Dajun turned around and saw only Mao Tu looking at him like he was the enemy who killed his father.
Now, no more hesitation.
He waved again and cut off another finger.
Xiaoyun didn't scream.
Another one, another one….
Finally, at the sixth stroke, Xiaoyun couldn't bear it anymore and screamed in pain.
"Ah ah ah ah ah……."
The severe pain finally made her unable to bear it any longer.
The whole cell was filled with Xiaoyun's heartbreaking shouts.
"Lee! Big! Army!!"
The miserable condition of the maid made Mao Tu's eyes seem to be blood red, and tears kept falling: "Don't let me go out, otherwise, I will kill you all over the house!!"
Li Dajun laughed and said: "Hahaha, you still want to go out? Maotu, do you really think this is still the era of King Chu?"
"No, not anymore! Your Chu King's tribe is already a thing of the past! Maybe King Chu can get out of trouble with you, after all, that man is omnipotent, but now, it's hard for you to fly even with wings!"
"I can do whatever I want with you. Of course, as long as you can give me the hiding places and people of the King of Chu's envoys in various places, then I, the general, can give you and your three maids a good time. "
"So that you don't have to suffer such torture anymore."
Mao Tu stared at him, leaned forward, and made the iron chains binding her neck and limbs jingle: "Li Dajun, you are dreaming!!"
Li Dajun was so angry that he laughed angrily and said: "Okay, okay, okay, this is your choice. It is your choice to make your three maids suffer so much."
After that, he looked at the guard next to him: "This woman with her finger amputated was too noisy. It disturbed this general's ears and also disturbed the prisoners in other cells to rest, so she cut off her tongue."
The guard held up his hands: "Yes!"
He was about to take action.
But Li Dajun seemed to have thought of something and said, "Wait a minute."
He thought for a while and then looked at Mao Tu: "Bring this maid with the severed finger to Mao Tu, across a cell, and let her see how she harmed the men who trusted her the most."
"yes!"
The guard brought Xiaoying to Maotu, and then called two more people to come and prepare to pull out her tongue.
At this moment, Xiaoyun was trembling all over, but when she saw Maotu who was crying, she smiled and comforted her: "Miss, I'm fine."
As he spoke, tears also fell.
"I'm fine, I'm fine..."
Maotu burst into tears: "Xiaoyun!"
She struggled, wanting to go forward and hug the poor fool, but she couldn't move at all. She couldn't do anything except make the chains jingle.
finally.
The two guards walked up to Xiaoying and began to pull out her tongue and then cut it off.
"I'm fine, miss, don't be afraid, I..."
Xiaoying kept repeating it until the two guards took out their tongues and could no longer speak.
"no, do not want!!"
Maotu burst into tears.
But she couldn't stop it.
In an instant.
A bloody tongue fell, and Xiaoying passed out from the pain. She could no longer speak...
"Humph, you're already unconscious. What a useless piece of trash."
"Take her down, next!"
Two guards carried Xiaoyun away.
"No, no, Xiaoyun! Xiaoyun!!"
Usagi shouted uncontrollably.
But she couldn't do anything.
Besides crying, what else could she do...
Then a second maid was brought.
The maid's name is Xiaohu.
The little fox was brought to Mao Tu. Mao Tu stared at Li Dajun and choked: "Li Dajun, you will not die well, you will definitely!!"
Li Dajun was unmoved and waved his hand: "Let's get started."
When the two guards were about to pull out their tongues in the same way, Li Dajun seemed to have something in mind and asked them to stop.
"Wait a minute, this general has thought of a more interesting one."
"This little fox looks pretty good. Come on, give it to the jailer brothers in the prison. They have worked hard for a long time!"
Hearing this, the little fox whose mouth was covered widened his eyes, and then relaxed instantly. He looked at the tearful master Maotu and gave her a reassuring look, telling her not to worry.
This look may be the last time Master Maotu saw her.
Or maybe not.
But she just wanted to give her master Mao Tu a reassuring look at this moment, and there was no need to let hundreds of Chu kings and envoys suffer disaster because of her.
She was eventually taken down.
"no, do not want!!!"
Maotu shouted as he watched Xiaohu leave.
However.
No one will stop.
The little fox was led down with his mouth covered, and for the next half an hour, the voice of the little fox was heard, that heartbreaking... sound.
Half an hour later.
The sound stops.
Li Dajun came to Mao Tu and asked, "Don't you want to tell me yet?"
At this moment, Mao Tu was a little lost. She was tired from crying and no tears fell, but she still looked like she wanted to cry. The next moment, tears welled up again and she knelt down towards Li Dajun.
My voice is hoarse because I cried until my voice broke.
"Please, please, please, let them go, let them go, these little people, they don't know anything. You can attack me and do whatever you want, let them go."
Maotu burst into tears again and knelt down towards his biggest enemy to beg for mercy.
I cried so much that snot bubbles came out of my nose.
Li Dajun's eyes flashed with pity, but it was quickly replaced by indifference.
Is Maotu pitiful?
Yes, she is pathetic.
At least at the moment.
But isn’t he, Li Dajun, pitiful?
He was obviously going back to Northern Xinjiang, but he was assassinated and lost his arms and eyes. This was caused by Mao Tu!
And why did Maotu assassinate? This can be traced back to his killing of the ugly cow.
Why he killed the ugly cow can be traced back...
The result of this layer-by-layer tracing is that each has its own master and different positions...
He wanted to kill them, and they wanted to kill him.
An unsolvable situation.
But the King of Chu and his people were too powerful.
Li Dajun knew that if he did not catch these Chu King's envoys, he would not be able to sleep in the future, and many people in Chang'an City would also be unable to sleep.
They must be destroyed!
Only in this way can his safety be guaranteed!
"Please, spare them, I was wrong, everything is my fault, you punish me..."
Maotu was still begging for mercy in a hoarse voice.
Li Dajun stopped looking, but turned around and said, "Someone, bring her here!"
The last maid was brought, named Xiao Nuan.
It was also the one who helped Mao Tu kill the maid who tipped off the ugly cow's whereabouts to Admiral Tiance.
She is the maid whom Mao Tu relies on most among all Mao Tu's men, and she is also the first person in Mao Tu's team and under Mao Tu.
"Xiao Nuan, Xiao Nuan..."
Maotu, his hair disheveled, ran toward her in despair.
However.
She was still bound by chains, unable to do anything...
Xiaonuan had the gag removed from her mouth. She didn't know what would happen to her, but she didn't want to think about it. She even wanted to see if her young lady could avoid such a loss of dignity.
"Miss, you have been wronged for us."
Xiaonuan also burst into tears. She had never seen the young lady like this before, never...
The young lady is such a proud person, but for servants like them, she becomes so...
The lady shouldn't be like this, shouldn't...
"You shouldn't be like this."
"We are just servants, your eternal servants."
Xiao Nuan cried.
Maotu shook his head with disheveled hair: "No, you are not, you are all my sisters, it was me who harmed you, it was me...it was me who harmed you..."
The more he talked, the more he broke down and the more tears he shed.
Not only did she see it before her eyes, but she also thought of the maids dying one by one during the assassination. That scene made her collapse.
She is still not as mentally strong and cold as the world says.
Facing the death of so many of his maids, he will still collapse...
Maotu Maotu, the second in command of the Twelve Nights, she finally paid the price for her arrogance.
"Xiao Nuan, I will protect you, I will, I will definitely do it!"
Maotu was still crying at this time, but seemed to have made some kind of decision.
Xiaonuan's eyes flickered, and the next moment she was crying but said with a smile: "Miss, you shouldn't be a sinner."
"We are the sinners and we should not be so smart as to come to save you."
While talking, blood flowed from Xiaonuan's tongue.
Maotu's eyes widened. She couldn't believe that Xiaonuan was biting her tongue and committing suicide!
Xiao Nuan was still smiling, looking at the young lady who was once so heroic but now a little confused, and said with a smile: "Miss, it is my honor to follow you in this life."
"But in the end, you seemed to have disappointed us, but I believe..."
Before the next words could be said, Xiao Nuan fell down.
She is dead.
He bit his tongue and died.
She didn't want to die, but she had to die. If she didn't die, hundreds of Chu King's envoys would die...
Li Dajun and others, who were still discussing how to deal with Xiao Nuan over there, walked over when their subordinates reported that Xiao Nuan bit her tongue and died.
Li Dajun saw blood all over the ground, then looked at Mao Tu with dull eyes, and said angrily: "Damn it! You're obviously not ready to die yet, why do you have to die!!"
"unlucky!!"
When I heard someone talking about Xiao Nuan, I was touched by Mao Tu's dull eyes since Xiao Nuan's death, but they soon returned to dull eyes.
Li Dajun didn't notice. He looked at Maotu's status and thought it was not suitable to continue the investigation tonight, so he sneered: "Maotu, haha, let's get here first tonight."
"You have to remember that you are the one who killed all your people!"
"let's go!"
Li Dajun took people away.
He was not in a hurry. After all, it was impossible for Mao Tu to escape. The days were long and there was still a lot he could do.
Mao Tu's eyes were still dull, numb, and he seemed to be going crazy.
She has been winning all her life. From becoming Wang Zhizuo's disciple to being the second-in-command of the Twelve Nights under King Chu, she has always won and never failed.
And this failure seemed to... become his eternal nightmare.
I don’t know how long it has been, but it seems like a century? Two centuries?
Maotu didn't know how long, he only knew that he had been sitting there blankly on the ground, and then someone opened the cell door.
She raised her dead eyes and looked at the person.
That's a jailer.
Came in the middle of the night.
Is he here to punish me?
Maotu's eyes flickered. No matter what this person was going to do, she had no intention of resisting. Her heart seemed to be dead...
However, when the man came to her, he helped her unlock the shackles.
Then an extremely gentle voice came out.
"Maotu, among the seven-color Taoists, the next successor who used red as the Taoist codenamed Hongluan is so fragile, pathetic, and lamentable."
The man seemed to be mocking, but also seemed to be in disbelief.
There were ripples in Maotu's heart, he raised his head and said in a hoarse voice, "Who are you."
"Me?" The man took off his hood, revealing a delicate and beautiful face, and said with a smile: "You did not take over as Hongluan and went to work under King Chu's account, and I am the apprentice that the master found to replace you. "
"Senior sister, I am the current Hongluan."
"According to the order of the master, I am here to take you stupid back to Jiangdong."
Hongluan is a Taoist who is red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple, with a red robe as the main body. He walks around the world, codenamed Hongluan, and is good at instigating!
When Mao Tu heard this, his dead eyes regained some brilliance: "Master? Master, has he gone down the mountain?"
Hongluan nodded and said: "Yes, Master, he has come down to take charge of the overall situation of Jiangdong."
"Many people in the King of Chu's tribe are wandering around in arrogance like you, so Master ordered us Qise Taoists from all over the world to come and bring you arrogant people back."
"Okay, senior sister, remove the shackles. My people don't buy us much time, so we have to leave as soon as possible."
Mao Tu was pulled up, and on the way away, she stopped at the place where Xiao Nuan died, squatted down and touched the pool of blood, her tears sparkling again.
"Xiao Nuan, I'm sorry...I was wrong after all..."
"I'm still not as strong as you think."
If it were to happen again, Maotu would definitely choose to retreat rather than stay.
Unfortunately, there is no if in the world.
"Sister, it's time to go!"
Hong Luan urged.
Maotu said: "I still have two maids, I will save them!"
Maotu went in the direction in his memory and came to a cell. Sure enough, Xiaohu and Xiaoyun were imprisoned here.
"Xiaohu, Xiaoyun, this little... I'm here to save you."
Mao Tu no longer dared to call herself Miss. She had killed them, killed so many people who trusted her, and almost killed hundreds of Chu King's envoys.
She is ashamed...
Hearing the sound, Xiaohu didn't move, but Xiaoyun came over.
There was blood in her mouth, and she was extremely surprised when she saw the young lady running out. When she opened her mouth to speak, there was only a small "Ahhhh" sound.
Xiaoyun was stunned.
Then he turned around and smiled helplessly.
Yes, yes, yes... She can't speak, she can't speak, she can never speak...
So, she pointed at the little fox and shook her head.
It means that the little fox couldn't bear the humiliation and committed suicide.
"Little fox..."
Maotu burst into tears again, it was she who killed Xiaohu, it was her, it was her!
"Xiaoyun, I'll take you away, let's go back to Jiangdong!"
Maotu grabbed Xiaoyun's hand, but Xiaoyun shook it off, took a few steps back, looked at Maotu with a smile, and waved to signal them to leave.
Then, he quickly rushed towards the cell pillar, hit it and died.
She knew that she was a burden, and she didn't want her young lady to have a lower chance of escaping because of herself.
"Xiaoyun!!"
Maotu lost his voice.
Hong Luan urged again: "Senior sister, it's time to go."
Mao Tu's face was ashen, he nodded and said: "Okay, okay..."
She followed the red Luan.
There are several jailers here who are believers of Hongluan Daomen.
Hongluan Taoism was founded by Hongluan based on his own ability and instigated many people to join the religion. He has a very consistent belief.
In order to plan tonight's rescue operation, several jailers almost exhausted their efforts before they were able to patrol and garrison the cell that night.
Unobstructed.
Hong Luan escapes with Mao Tu.
After escaping from the cell.
On the way, Mao Tu couldn't help but look at the only room with candlelight not far away, which was Li Dajun's room. They were assassinated there and were captured or killed one by one.
"Li Dajun, you must repay the blood feud of my maids tenfold!"
"Start with your family first!"
Maotu's eyes were filled with extreme anger.
She originally wanted to go back to Jiangdong, but the tragic deaths of three maids one after another made her change her mind.
After escaping, she planned to gather her remaining maids and go north to Li Dajun's house.
She wants him, blood debt, blood payment! !
.
…….….….….….
A few days later.
River near Jiangdong.
There is a small boat wandering here, and the goal is to go to the Koto area.
The people on the boat are of high status.
The most noble one is Zheng Chang'e, the eldest daughter of Zheng Jibo, the head of the Zheng family in Xingyang!
The rest of the people are all the guards of the Zheng Mansion and the housekeepers of the Zheng Mansion's main residence.
They came to Jiangdong.
It's because Zheng Jibo seems to have reached an agreement with the King of Chu. It seems to be because no one knows the specific content except Zheng Jibo and the king's left wing.
I only know that after the two people talked, it was confirmed that the Zheng family and the King of Chu's department cooperated in all aspects, and then Zheng Chang'e was told that she would definitely become the woman of the King of Chu and the queen in the future!
So I asked Butler Zheng to take her to see the house in advance.
"Jiangdong, Butler Zheng, dad said that is not the land of Lingnan."
"In the past, many officials were said to be exiled to Lingnan by His Majesty. Wasn't he talking about Jiangdong?"
Zheng Chang'e blinked her big watery eyes, full of incomprehension.
What I don’t even understand is.
How could someone as brave as His Highness the King of Chu live in a barren land like Jiangdong?
She felt that only Chang'an was the most suitable for His Royal Highness the King of Chu to live in, and only there was worthy of it.
Butler Zheng smiled and said, "Miss, I don't know either, but the head of the family must have a reason for letting us go there."
Butler Zheng's original surname was not Zheng, but Liu, but Zheng Jibo thought that he had served two generations of family heads and was loyal, so he gave him the surname Zheng.
Originally, the person who brought Zheng Chang'e here was not Butler Zheng. Zheng Guanyin was suitable. He could admire Jiangdong's beauty while introducing Zheng Chang'e, and then teach the queen what to do.
But she can't.
After all, her husband was Li Jiancheng, and the King of Chu participated in the Xuanwu Gate Incident. It was impossible to say that she had any grudge against the King of Chu.
So Zheng Jibo thought twice and asked Butler Zheng to accompany him.
"Oh, okay, there's nothing we can do about Grandpa's arrangements."
Zheng Chang'e is no longer confused.
At this time, a man shrouded in green robes came over and said with a smile: "Miss Chang'e, Jiangdong is not a barren land."
This person is one of the seven-colored Taoists. He is red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, with a green robe as the main body. He walks in the world, codenamed Green Mule, and is a Taoist who is good at walking!
This time, following the orders of the master, who was also the left wing of the king, I was ordered to take the future queen on a tour of Jiangdong.
"Okay, will His Highness be there?"
Zheng Chang'e's eyes were filled with anticipation.
Green Mule sighed: "I'm not here for the time being, but your grandfather, Master Zheng, my master, and even all the elders in Jiangdong believe that His Highness will come back."
"Come back and marry you as the queen, and also come back and take us back to Chang'an!"
Hearing that King Chu was not there, Zheng Chang'e said in frustration: "Okay, in fact, it's okay if I don't come to Jiangdong. After all, His Highness is not here."
Green Mule laughed and said nothing more.
soon.
The boat docked.
The green mule took Zheng Chang'e and others ashore, got into the carriage that had been arranged early, and then rode forward.
Along the way, there was only the whine of the wheels, which was so annoying.
After a stick of incense, the donkey and mule asked Zheng Chang'e and others to come down.
As soon as she came down, Zheng Chang'e's little eyes widened and she looked forward with an incredulous expression on her face.
"Hey! Weird!"
She was a little stunned, looked ahead, and then quickly looked back.
Then he turned back and rubbed his eyes vigorously.
The road behind him was dilapidated, with dirt and gravel everywhere, but the road in front of him was smooth.
It’s hard to see even a trace of ups and downs!
The black-gray road surface reflects a strange luster in the sunlight, and is surrounded by stone strips on both sides.
Zheng Chang'e opened her little mouth so wide that she could almost fit an egg in it, and said, "Wow, Butler Zheng, come and take a look, there is something wrong with the road here! How...how could there be such a road!"
Butler Zheng was dumbfounded after reading it: "Miss, this is my first time seeing you."
In front of you is a straight avenue, with green crops planted on both sides, making the surrounding roads look beautiful.
beautiful! So beautiful!
He has never seen such a sight!
Even the foundation of the Zheng family in Xingyang with five surnames and seven surnames in Kaifeng City does not have such a path!
Green Mule smiled and said: "Miss Chang'e, there are more things ahead that you haven't seen before. Maybe this is the purpose of your grandfather specially asking you to come here."
"Of course, I'm just guessing. After all, how can I see through the thoughts of the Zheng Family Master?"
Zheng Chang'e said in surprise: "There's something else ahead."
"Well, there are many things that Miss Chang'e has never seen."
"Then let's go quickly, hehe, let's go see His Royal Highness the King of Chu's city!"
Zheng Chang'e started to jog.
The green mule also ran up and began to lead Zheng Chang'e.
As we moved forward, people gradually began to appear on the road, walking or riding donkey carts leisurely on the road. When they met Zheng Chang'e and others, they would say hello before leaving.
More hospitable.
The further they walked, the less green there was on both sides, and the city wall in the distance began to appear little by little in front of Zheng Chang'e and others.
That is an important city!
The gray-white wall tiles and the city walls that are more than ten meters high all reveal four words: Impregnable!
Three large gilded characters hang on the city gate, Jian'an! !
Zheng Chang'e and Butler Zheng were shocked by the tall city wall. This was an important city that could defeat the defenses of the closed city several times!
At the same time, Green Mule’s heartfelt proud voice sounded.
"Welcome Miss Chang'e, the future queen, to Jiangdong Jian'an, to this city, the strongest and most solid city in the Tang Dynasty!"
