Jinpaowei and the battalion of Yunzhou formed a huge encirclement, searched layer by layer, and finally caught the traces of the assassins. Yang Yuting led his men to surround the assassins and wanted to capture them alive. However, the assassins seemed to be determined to die and resisted fiercely. Following the sentence: "The kingdom of Chu will last forever." All the assassins bit through the poison and died at the same time.
Yang Yuting jumped on his horse, held a torch to examine the assassin's corpses one by one, then raised his hand and said to the queen, "Your Majesty, it's Deadpool."
These people came with the determination to die, so Su He and Le Zhengsu may have more bad luck than good luck.
The queen looked at the corpses all over the ground and glanced at the crowd. Everyone bowed their heads, not even hearing what the assassin just said. At this moment, the call of the soldiers came from the fierce torches: "I found it, I found it!"
Hearing this, Le Zhengying took the lead and ran in the direction the soldiers called. But someone was faster than her. It was the King of Clouds, Zhongliu.
At the foot of the dark mountain, Zhong Lishuo, who was finally waiting for reinforcements, appeared in the bright fire with Su He in his arms. The soldiers surrounded them with torches, and suddenly one of them galloped on a horse and shouted at her, "Su!"
Zhong Lishuo hugged Su He and looked back, seeing Zhong Limu who was rushing towards her, his eyes leaped with joy, "Miki!"
She responded, Zhong Limu turned over and dismounted, rushed towards her, hugged her, and hurriedly let Su He down, looked at Zhong Lishuo carefully, and asked nervously, "Su, what's wrong with your face? , Where else is it hurt? Have you been scared?"
Zhong Lishuo shook his head and replied, "I'm fine." As she was speaking, another person had already driven a horse to her. Zhong Lishuo raised his head and clearly saw the elder sister's face in the firelight. Surprised: "Sister, why are you here?"
Le Zhengying's face was not very good. She looked at the young boy's immature appearance, and then looked at the joyful Zhong Limu next to her. She rolled over and dismounted, and sighed, "You and your son have encountered such a thing, how could I not come?" She She didn't look at Zhong Limu again, and looked at Le Zhengsu's shaved face full of heartache, "Does it hurt?" She asked, and looked again carefully, "Where else is it hurt?"
Zhong Lishuo shook his head and hugged the prince, "I'm fine, let's go back first, the prince is quite frightened, and I'm afraid he won't be able to sleep tonight."
"Sister, how are those thieves?" Zhong Lishuo asked as he walked. Zhong Limu was afraid that she would have to work hard, so he reached out to carry Su He down. But Su He was frightened and only willing to lie on Zhong Lishuo's shoulder, Zhong Lishu couldn't, so he had to signal Zhong Lishuo to put the person down.
Le Zhengying's eyes kept going back and forth between Zhong Lishuo and Zhong Limu. Hearing Zhong Lishuo's question, he was about to answer when Zhong Limu, who was next to him, responded positively, "Your Majesty has sent someone here, all those thieves are here. Punished."
Zhong Lishuo glanced at Zhongli Curtain, and then at Le Zhengying, who was wrinkling his face, sighed inwardly, and approached Le Zhengying calmly. She nodded, looked at the horses brought by the soldiers, and carried Su He onto the horse. Reaching out his hand, he patted Su He's back to comfort him, and then his eyes fell on Le Zhengying and asked, "Sister, does father know about this?"
Le Zhengying shook his head, "It's important to search for the prince, and I haven't told my father and mother about this."
Zhong Lishuo breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, if it is because of me that my parents are worried, it would be unfilial."
When Le Zhengying heard this, she felt a little uncomfortable. Just as she was about to say a few words, the sound of hoofs came out of the jungle.
The soldiers holding torches bowed in unison, bowing their heads towards the approaching person.
"Your Majesty." Zhong Limu and Le Zhengying saluted together. Zhong Lishuo, who was holding the reins, was startled for a moment, but his first reaction was to raise his head and set his eyes on the person who came.
Under the moonlight, the emperor in silver armor rode a steed through the night and walked towards her step by step. The silver armor glowed with fire, reflecting the Queen's soft face with a bit of cold light.
Zhong Lishuo looked at her, but what came to mind was the side he first saw before Yunzhou broke down the temple, and Xuan Jingchen did the same, walking towards her on a horse.
She was stunned for a while, and when the hoofs stopped in front of her, she hurriedly bowed her head and said, "Your Majesty."
The young man bowed his head, his handsome little face stained with blood was hidden in the dark night. Xuan Jingchen tightened his hand on the reins, his eyes fell on Zhong Limu, who was bowing his head but couldn't help looking at his sister, and said calmly, "Since the prince has been found, withdraw the army and return to the camp."
Everyone said yes, Zhong Lishuo got on his horse and returned to the camp behind Xuan Jingchen. Xu Renli drove his horse to Zhong Lishuo's side and asked in a deep voice, "Are you injured?"
Zhong Lishuo shook his head and returned to the camp with the army holding Su He in his arms. Zhong Limu kept beside her and asked from time to time, and Xuan Jingchen, who was walking in front, listened to all directions, straightened his body and tightened the reins.
That night, half of it was so frightening. The queen ordered Yang Yuting to search the entire Xishan with Jinpaowei to prevent omission.
The news that Su He was stabbed in Xishan spread a lot, and as soon as he arrived at the camp, the envoys from the north made a lot of noise to ask for an explanation. After Xuan Jingchen dismounted, he ordered the accompanying medical workers to check the injuries of the three of Su He, and then summoned the ministers to discuss and deal with the affairs of the two states, and temporarily covered up the countless doubts in his mind.
Zhong Lishuo accompanied Su He to check the injury. Su He was quite frightened today, and the medical workers brewed soothing tea and burned incense for him. Zhong Lishuo and Xu Renli both had wounds on their faces, and the medical workers gave ointment before leaving.
Su He didn't want to be too far away from Zhong Lishuo, but Zhong Lishuo couldn't, so he had to take him back to the eldest sister's camp. He was still young, so after placing him in the camp next door, Zhong Lishuo went to wash up and put today's Running around to clean up.
After the dust on his body was cleaned, Zhong Lishuo put on a clean shirt, only then did he notice the burning pain on his face. She touched her face, frowned, and walked to Le Zhengying's bed, but saw the elder sister sitting on the bed beckoning to her and said, "Come here."
Zhong Lishuo obeyed and sat beside the bed. Le Zhengying held a bottle of ointment in his hand, put some on his fingertips, and wiped it on Zhong Lishuo's face: "This is the ointment left by the medical worker, it can make the wound heal faster."
Zhong Lishuo nodded, closed his eyes and still let Le Zhengying smear on his face. Seeing her cute appearance, Le Zhengying sighed, and what he wanted to say stopped on his lips.
After hesitating for a while, she said to Zhong Lishuo, "Are you afraid of today's matter?"
Zhong Lishuo shook his head and said, "Sister, everything is fine."
Yes, it's over, so what else? Le Zhengsu was Su He's companion, and it was her duty to protect her monarch. She couldn't tell Ah Su that she would just run away next time. The people in their happy family can't do this.
Le Zhengying hesitated for a moment, and then said to her: "In a few days, I will tell my father to find you a teacher who specializes in martial arts."
At least, run faster.
Zhong Lishuo nodded and said this. Le Zhengying thought for a while, and then asked, "When did you and King Yunzhong have such a good relationship?"
Zhong Lishuo sighed and knew that the eldest sister must be asking. I don't even think about this stupid child, Miki. Now that they are not related by blood, it is strange that they are still so enthusiastic.
Zhong Lishuo said calmly, and said to Le Zhengying, "Some time ago, I gave him a piece of music, and we called him a brother." After she finished speaking, she opened her eyes, looked at Le Zhengying and said, "The King of Cloud is a good one. Child, I also know that he has a deep affection for the eldest princess. Sister, I am one less competitor, right?"
When she said this, it reminded Le Zhengying that Le Zhengsu liked the queen. Le Zhengying paused and sighed, "Yes, yes."
Zhong Lishuo knew that she understood what she meant, and heard Le Zhengying say: "Today Xu Renli asked Zhong Limu for help, what do you mean? Why don't you tell Your Majesty directly?"
Zhong Lishuo nodded and replied slowly: "The gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, I am worried about Your Majesty, so this matter is handed over to King Yunzhong. King Yunzhong is loyal, and he will come later."
As soon as Le Zhengying heard it, she knew that her sister wanted to be wrong, "Your Majesty is the king of a country. If you tell her directly, she will send someone to look for you. Asu, you don't think that His Majesty will lead troops out in person, right?"
Zhong Lishuo was stunned for a moment, then he reacted with hindsight. Now that Xuan Jingchen is already the ruler of a country, she is no longer an emperor. If Xuan Jingchen will not come out to find her, then he will not face the danger of assassins.
Yes, she still wanted to change in an emergency.
But the queen, still appeared today, why is this
Zhong Lishuo thought for a while, but felt exhausted. He nodded and replied, "I've been taught, sister, have you taken the medicine? I'm tired."
She looked tired, and after saying this, she fell asleep.
Le Zhengying put his hand away and motioned her to sleep. Zhong Lishuo fell on the bed and fell asleep after a while.
Le Zhengying looked at her peaceful sleeping face, sighed, pulled the quilt to cover her, followed by lying beside her, and fell asleep like that.
It was night, after Xuan Jingchen and the minister discussed the countermeasures, he called the guards to call Zhong Limu into the tent, but got the news that Zhong Limu had fallen asleep.
Xuan Jingchen rubbed his brows, and said to the nearby guards: "One person is missing to go to Zhenbei Hou's Mansion to inquire about all the news about Le Zhengsu. I have to know all the details."
"I will summon the chief minister tomorrow, and I have something to discuss with her."
After talking about these two things, Xuan Jingchen returned to the camp, just wrapped in silver armor, hugged the box of music scores, looked at the dim lights, and sat quietly on the bed all night.
She didn't dare to close her eyes, as soon as she closed her eyes, they all looked like Le Zhengsu. The sixteen-year-old noble son, under the moonlit night, overlapped with the poor boy who stood in front of the ruined temple at the age of twenty, and two words faintly floated in Xuan Jingchen's heart.
Your Highness…
If it wasn't for her, why would Zhong Limu be so nervous as if he were in front of Zhong Lishuo? If it was her, why did she refuse to tell her so many times
