late at night.
In the camp, there were only some patrolling people left in twos and threes.
Jiang Tangzhou put on a night suit, which made him even more thin, and it was because Yin Wenzheng had raised some flesh in the past few days.
Ting Yu straightened Jiang Tangzhou's clothes, and said with great concern: "No, Lord, I still don't feel relieved. If you don't let me follow, let Xie Yi follow, right? Xie Yi knows martial arts, and he can also protect you."
Jiang Tangzhou patted the back of her hand and said, "You mean I don't know martial arts?"
"Master, you..." Ting Yu snorted twice, and said, "You know how, but you don't have internal strength, and you really meet someone with great strength..." Ting Yu didn't continue talking about the following words.
In fact, Jiang Tangzhou planned to take Xie Yi with him even if he didn't listen to the rain.
Firstly, he is blind, so there will definitely be a lot of inconvenience. Secondly, Xie Yi's martial arts are good, and it can indeed protect him. He just feels that the young couple just got married not long ago, and he will squeeze out Xie Yi's use. The value doesn't seem very good.
Now that Ting Yu proposed it on his own initiative, Jiang Tangzhou naturally went down the donkey: "That's fine, Xie Yi is following me, don't worry, I feel more at ease."
Ting Yu immediately raised a smile and ran to look for Xie Yi.
Yan Qing stood on one side, frowning tightly, with unspeakable worries in her heart: "Master, do you have to go on this trip?"
Jiang Tangzhou raised his hand, touched the jade pendant hanging on his chest, and said, "Well, don't tell Yin Wenzheng about this."
Yan Qing concealed her worried expression and nodded reluctantly.
He got on the horse and set off in one go. Although Jiang Tangzhou couldn't see the road ahead, but with Xie Yi's horse leading him, he wouldn't rush and walk randomly. So even if you don't listen to the rain, Jiang Tangzhou planned to bring Xie Yi with him at the beginning.
The night is as cool as water, and Zixing Mountain is only half a night away from Qinguo Imperial Palace. When the sky is about to brighten, the morning light is slightly exposed, and the sky is shining, Qinguo Imperial City will arrive.
The gatekeeper stretched out his spear to block the way of the two of them, Jiang Tangzhou lifted the corner of his clothes to reveal the jade pendant of King Zhen, and then let the two of them in. Jiangtang Zhou ran towards the palace where Mrs. Bu lived without looking back.
...
Bushi stayed up all night.
Hengguo broke through the first pass defense of Zixing Mountain, and it was not far from breaking the city and the country.
She waited impatiently for the news of Jiang Tangzhou, and even planned to wait until dawn. If the news of Jiang Tangzhou had not arrived, she would personally write a letter and summon Jiang Tangzhou to return to the palace immediately.
He dared not listen to the emperor's imperial decree, did he not even listen to her queen mother's decree
Mrs. Bu just walked around in the hall like this. After walking around for most of the night, she finally felt a little sleepy. When she was sitting on the couch to rest, she heard a call: "Empress Dowager, King Zhen asks to see you."
Mrs. Bu stood up abruptly, with an uncontrollable joy on his face: "Quick—pass him in."
Jiang Tangzhou stepped into the hall on the icy ground.
Xie Yi was left outside the hall, he and Nabu Shi were the only two in the huge space.
Just as Jiang Tangzhou was about to salute, he was helped up by Mrs. Bu, who asked impatiently, "Prince Zhen, did you bring back the military defense map of Hengguo?"
Bu Shi went straight to the point, which didn't surprise Jiang Tangzhou, after all, this person has always been like this, and he will do anything to achieve his goals.
So Jiang Tangzhou didn't have any other nonsense with her, and just reached out to take out the military defense map in his sleeve.
Mrs. Bu's eyes lit up, and she looked as if she wanted to get the things in Jiangtangzhou's hands by herself - but this is not surprising. Mrs. Bu enjoyed all the grace when she entered the palace when she was young, and she reached the sky in one step after the death of the first emperor, sitting in the most honorable state of Qin In terms of her position, she probably hasn't suffered too much grievance in her life. Seeing that her life is coming to an end, but the country is destroyed, and she doesn't know where she will go to live a humiliating life, how can she be willing
So even if she risked her old life, she would never let Qin Guo be overthrown.
Because she will continue to sit in this honorable position.
Mrs. Bu quickly opened the map of military defense, and as soon as he saw the first page, his eyes lit up, his heart beat faster, and he raised his head suddenly: "King Zhen, you did a great job this time! Let's wait for this matter." , the Ai family will reward you as the best in the world—”
Mrs. Bu didn't have time to finish her words, when she suddenly saw Jiang Tangzhou's hands flicker, and then Jiang Tangzhou snatched the military defense map tightly held in her hand, and hid it behind her.
Bu's face changed drastically: "What does King Zhen mean?"
"The empress dowager probably doesn't know what this minister is for." Jiang Tangzhou's expression remained unchanged, and he said lightly, "At the beginning, when I promised the empress dowager to get the military defense map, I said that I don't want anything else. , as long as you can let the emperor leave here, leave the deep palace, the empress dowager has already agreed to me in order to get this military defense map."
The expression on the Empress Dowager's face changed slightly, she stared fixedly at Jiang Tangzhou, and did not speak for a long while.
After a pause, she continued: "Yes, I promised you."
"But have you ever thought about what the officials would think if the Ai family really let the emperor go?"
Jiang Tangzhou curled the corners of his mouth and smiled: "Then it depends on how the empress dowager weighs it, whether it is important to think of the officials who don't know if they are still there after the kingdom is destroyed, or to keep the life of glory and wealth that I am living now. more important."
For so many years, Mrs. Bu knew all about Jiang Yingzhou's private actions, but he never touched him. It's not without reason.
Of course, it can't be because of the kindness of the mother and the filial piety of the son, but because Jiang Yingzhou is the one who is more suitable to be an emperor among the two extant bloodlines of the former emperor-the other is Jiang Tangzhou.
Don't think that Qin Guo can let the queen mother listen to politics behind the curtain, but it's just listening to politics behind the curtain. The ministers are all stubborn and stubborn. Mrs. Bu has tried several times to overthrow the rule of the Jiang family of Qinguo, but it has caused even greater backlash. Therefore, it is not fair to say that Mrs. Bu, the "female emperor", deserves the name. She had to rely on Jiang Yingzhou, the puppet emperor.
Even if Jiang Yingzhou wasn't the puppet emperor, Jiang Tangzhou had to be the puppet emperor.
Comparing the two, of course Mr. Bu is more willing to choose Jiang Yingzhou.
Even because she was worried that Jiang Tangzhou would overthrow the current situation, she let Jiang Tangzhou live in the mud for so many years, living at the bottom.
Everything is traceable.
Therefore, from the very beginning when Mr. Bu promised this deal with Jiang Tangzhou, he never thought about cashing in on it.
"It's all important." Mrs. Bu raised her eyelids, a dark light flashed in her eyes, and said word by word, "King Zhen, Aijia is old, of course he is not as eloquent as you. Aijia can't beat you, so I have to use it some other way."
Jiang Tangzhou frowned slightly, and subconsciously took a step back.
"Since the military defense plan is in your hands, and you are here, it will be much easier for the Ai family to get it." Mrs. Bu sneered, took a few steps back, and sat down leisurely, She even took a sip of tea before she raised her hand and said, "Do it."
Jiang Tangzhou clenched his right hand tightly, pinching the dagger he had hidden in his sleeve for a long time.
He had long expected that this trip would be doomed, and he had already thought of what Bu Shi might do.
Sure enough, but after a while, there were more than 30 men in black in the hall, covering their faces, and surrounded Jiang Tangzhou.
The smile on Jiang Tangzhou's face faded: "The empress dowager really thinks highly of me, she's just a blind man, do you need to use so many people?"
"The Ai family knows what you are capable of." Mrs. Bu sneered, and said, "The Ai family also knew that you did not come alone, so they gave you face and called more people over."
"That's really thanks to the Empress Dowager."
"Tang Zhou," Mrs. Bu sighed faintly, and said in a regretful tone, "You were also raised by Aijia, and Aijia naturally doesn't want to hurt you—as long as you obediently hand over the military defense map." , Aijia can give you ten Gu medicines."
Mrs. Bu didn't mention anything about Jiang Yingzhou, so Jiang Tangzhou knew that she would never let go.
"Xie Yi!" The moment Jiang Tangzhou lowered his voice and called out his name, those men in black in Bu's family also moved.
As Ting Yu said, Jiang Tangzhou knows martial arts, but has no ability. He has the strength to fight against these men in black with internal strength, but he can't continue to fight for a long time. After a long time, Jiang Tangzhou was a little exhausted. Yi rushed into the siege, protected him behind him, and cut down the other party with blood and tears.
"I don't love fighting." Jiang Tangzhou said in a low voice, "Let's find a chance to get out of here."
Xie Yi let out a "hmm" and killed the two of them again, before retreating out the door while protecting Jiang Tangzhou.
But this group of people seemed to see Jiang Tangzhou's intentions clearly, and suddenly more people surrounded them like a tide, blocking the position of the door.
Xie Yi also frowned and said: "My lord, there are too many people, I can't fight with one punch, I'm afraid today..."
"No problem." Jiang Tangzhou shook his head lightly, "It's just a life, so what if you really take it away?" It's just that he was a little worried about Yin Wenzheng... the last half of the sentence was hidden in Jiang Tangzhou's heart, and he didn't say anything. Exit, just sighed, and said, "I'm just afraid that hearing the rain will make me sad."
Xie Yi's mind flickered, and he was slashed by the man in black in front just like that, which happened to hurt his arm.
The two were surrounded more and more tightly. Seeing that today they really couldn't escape, Bu's voice also sounded: "Catch him, don't hurt him."
More people came in the direction of Jiang Tang Zhou.
Jiang Tangzhou was exhausted, almost powerless to fight back, and soon his hands were bound, and he was dragged into the hall as if dragging something, but after being dragged for less than ten meters, Jiang Tangzhou suddenly heard a loud noise. The sound of sword light and sword shadow—but during the fight just now, Xie Yi's sword had clearly been knocked out.
Before Jiang Tangzhou could react, he felt that the force holding him back suddenly loosened. Immediately after he was helped up, he smelled a faint scent of sandalwood.
"My subordinate counts the rain," said a deep male voice, "I came here to protect King Zhen by order of the emperor."
