And those who were scattered into other barracks were really putting tigers into the sheepfold.
The northwest soldiers are brave and strong. Each one can hold up three or five of those pustules. Putting them in gives them the opportunity to overwhelm other barracks.
The palace people around Tong Su, whom he had sent to protect her, have now been brought out.
The group left behind are spies and spies of various forces, and death is not a pity.
Thinking of this, Xi Chenzhou said: "I just happened to be testing Your Majesty. What will Yun Zong do if he finds that Your Majesty and I are both missing?"
Tong Su thought for a while and said cautiously: "He will definitely block the news and then send people to the northwest to test. But after receiving the reward, the Northwest Army is now walking northwest. We will definitely be able to join them before Yunzong's men and horses chase them. , Yun Zong dare not forcefully start a conflict."
"What happens after that?"
"After that, Yunzong will try to find a way to hide Gu's situation. For example, if Gu is seriously ill, or if Gu goes to the palace to play, etc., and Gu doesn't often appear in front of people, he can still hide it by finding a stand-in or something to block it. living."
As she spoke, she thought and speculated:
"Finally, about you - the Xi family has no relatives in the capital, and neither does the Northwest Army. He can't find anyone to take as a hostage. Maybe he will issue an expedited gold medal to declare you to return to the court to settle accounts. Maybe he will find a reason to treat you." Your crime, in short, will never let you continue to be the God of War of the Dakang Dynasty, so that you can win the hearts of the people."
Xi Chenzhou showed an approving smile, and Tong Su pursed her lips with a faint smile: "I'm just guessing, I can't say for sure."
"Your Majesty has done a great job." He smiled, "Your Majesty is very talented and will definitely be a wise and mighty emperor in the future."
Tong Su laughed: "The general rescued me from the palace and protected my life from Yunzong. This is a future that I never dared to think about before. After leaving the palace, even if I don't become the emperor, I I am also satisfied.”
"But I don't want to." He looked at her with quiet eyes and a serious expression, "You are my Majesty, I am the sword in your hand, and the throne in this world can only be yours."
Tong Su trembled.
She thought that Xi Chenzhou rescued her from the palace just because he didn't want her to be in danger of being killed by Yun Zong. But now, what he meant...
But do you want to protect her all the time
However, she abandoned the palace and fled to the northwest to escape for her life. How could he continue to defend her as emperor
What happened in the remaining days was just as Tong Su expected.
Xi Chenzhou received a secret report from the capital. After Yun Zong found out that he was the one who took Tong Su away, he became furious and immediately wanted to hold the Northwest Army accountable and sent people to arrest them.
But the Northwest Army had made preparations earlier, leaving no clues for Yun Zong. He had no excuse not to arrest those who broke into the barracks, but they first spread public opinion in the barracks, scolding Yun Zong for controlling government affairs and bullying. You keep it secret.
Walking all the way to the northwest, Tong Su saw the situation among the people. The lives of the people could not be said to be miserable, but they were also poor and helpless.
The taxes collected by the court were extremely high. For one stone of grain, one had to pay three bushels of tax. Plus the landlord's commission, it already accounted for more than half. After working hard for a whole year, he could not even have enough to eat.
This situation became more severe the closer we got to the capital. When we got closer to the northwest, in the barren and desolate land, people's lives gradually became richer.
The danger of Beirong's invasion was removed, and Xi Chenzhou's rule was strict but clear. They did not have to worry about being squeezed by officials all the time, and they lived a safer and more comfortable life.
She looked at Xi Chenzhou with a complicated expression: "You are more suitable to be a ruler than me."
