The queen has so many tricks

Chapter 127 West Wing ([-])

A group of city defense troops had already surrounded the courtyard, people were still outside the courtyard, and the torches in the hands of the city defense troops had already illuminated the courtyard.The leading centurion got off his horse, beat the two dilapidated courtyard doors to the point of collapse, and shouted: "Open the door! By order of the Empress Dowager, the whole city is searching for traitors! Open the door!"

The flames blazed outside the courtyard, and the city defense army surrounded them heavily.If you want to escape, a fierce battle is inevitable.

Depressed and said: "Your Highness, don't go out, come with me."

Chang Ji raised his eyes to look at him, and said hesitantly: "There are pursuers outside, if you hand me over at this time, you can still keep you safe. But if you let them hunt me down here, you will also be implicated. You He is the proton of Weishui, the situation in Luoshui is already difficult, and I will be involved..."

He said lightly: "The fourth princess is kind to me. If I hand over Your Highness at this time, how can I have the face to see the fourth princess in the future? Don't delay, Your Highness, come with me."

As he spoke, he held up a lamp to lead the way, crossed the yard, and walked quickly to the west wing.

He said: "This is the former residence of my late mother, don't mind your Highness, just hide inside for a while. I'll deal with them."

Chang Ji and Shen She hid in the wing room, closed the door Danju, straightened their clothes, and then returned to the yard calmly holding the oil lamp.The two courtyard doors had already been pounded loudly by the city guards outside the courtyard, and the only old servant in the family was also awakened, and he walked out to open the door hobbled in his clothes.Just as the door bolt was being pulled open, the courtyard door was kicked open by the centurion with a bang.

The old servant yelled, and an old bone was knocked to the ground by the suddenly opened door.

The centurion was still angry, followed up and kicked, and cursed: "I'm not dead! I haven't opened the door after knocking for a long time! You want to die!"

The old servant didn't dare to make a sound after being kicked and beaten, so he got up and hid behind the courtyard door with a shy body.

The centurion waved his hand and said ferociously, "Smash this yard to pieces for me!"

The city defense troops behind him immediately poured into the courtyard, smashing and searching everywhere.

Dan Ju walked over with a lantern, and said to the centurion: "This courtyard is the former residence of the current emperor of Weishui. Your Excellency should act according to the etiquette."

The centurion shined the torch in his hand on Danju's face, recognized Danju, and said with a disdainful smile: "Who am I? According to the order of the Empress Dowager to search for traitors, I don’t care which country’s emperor’s former residence you are in. As for your dilapidated courtyard, the beggars on the street feel that it’s leaking, so you have the face to say it’s the emperor’s former residence?”

Hearing this, she couldn't help but turn purple all over her face in despondency.

The centurion continued: "I just remembered that the emperor of Weishui was no better than a beggar in my Luoshui, hahaha..."

He laughed.

Staring at him with dejected eyes and scarlet eyes, his fists were clenched and rattling, and he was about to punch the centurion, when someone scolded: "Little centurion, don't be rude!"

The centurion looked back and saw that it was Cang Yuce, so he suppressed his laughter.

Cang Yuce stepped forward to meet with Danju and said: "You offend Mr. Danju by your words, why don't you hurry up and apologize."

Although Cang Yuce is a common son, he is the only son of Cang Yuwei, the head of the Cangyu clan.The centurion was just a little centurion, and he didn't dare to offend him. Although he was dissatisfied in his heart, he forced himself to smile and apologize to Dan Ju.

He felt that he had lost face again, and he was angry. He looked up and saw several soldiers standing by the side of the water tank scooping water to drink. He kicked one of them away after a few steps up and said, "Drink! Drink your mother's urine! Hurry up and search for the traitor!"

Frowning lightly, Cang Yu said, "You don't have to pay attention to such rude warriors."

Depressedly said: "Thank you for coming to rescue me. Otherwise, I don't know how it will end today."

Just as he was talking, he saw the centurion searching the west wing room. He hurried over, stopped in front of the west wing room and said, "This wing room is the former residence of my deceased mother. My mother passed away not long ago, and the spirit of the deceased is not yet safe. Please sir Don't bother."

The centurion was still angry in his heart, he didn't look down, turned back to Cang Yuce and said coldly: "Young master, we are ordered by the queen mother to hunt down the rebels. Even the patriarch of Cangyu shouldn't disobey the queen mother's order, right?" ?”

When Cang Yuce heard the words, his face showed embarrassment.

Depressedly said: "The queen mother's order cannot be disobeyed, but the spirit of the deceased mother should not be disturbed by outsiders. Before my mother was alive, Mr. Ce often came to visit, so please come in and check it out."

"Exactly." Cang Yu said, "Madam would not blame the younger generation for being rude. You are all waiting outside. I will go in and check."

The centurion had to wait outside.

Dan Ju and Cang Yuce entered the west wing room together, and saw that the room was pitch black, only a faint red fire was burning in the innermost corner.

In order not to attract attention, Zo'er's light has been reduced to the minimum.Shen She sat in the corner, dripping with cold sweat, with his head resting weakly on Chang's shoulder.

Seeing Dan Ju and Cang Yuce come in at this time, he chuckled lightly and said, "Isn't this my brother-in-law!"

He pretended to be okay, sat up straight, but held Chang's hand tightly with his hands hidden in his sleeves.His palms were covered with cold sweat, and his fingers were trembling.

Chang Ji knew what he looked like when he was afraid of the dark, and he was lucky to be able to hold on and not faint, so he held his hand tightly.

"Brother-in-law!" Shen She said with a smile on his face, "Can you pretend that you didn't see me?"

Cang Yuce said angrily: "You make me pretend that I didn't see you, but you are hiding!"

Cang Yuce looked at Chang Wei, and already understood what was going on. He saluted Chang Wei and turned away. After walking a few steps, he turned back to Shen She and said, "This time, I'm all looking at His Highness and Dan. For Mr. Ju's sake, it's not because I'm your brother-in-law."

Shen She said perfunctorily: "Yes yes yes. Thank you very much!"

Cang Yu gave him a white look, and left first.

Dan Ju followed him out, the city defense army outside had already searched the yard, and Cang Yuce took the city defense army away.Danju closed the courtyard door, told the old servant a few words, and hurriedly returned to the west wing.

Chang Ji asked him to borrow a fire bag, lit the oil lamp in the west wing, brought it to Shen She and said, "I didn't expect Mr. Danju and Cang Yuce to have such a deep friendship."

Daan Ju said: "Mr. Ce's mother and mother are both from the Bianqian slave clan. They were slaves in the Cangyu Mansion in the early years. The two have a deep relationship. Mr. Ce and I also grew up together, and he and I are both people of humble origins. , It’s all about sympathy.”

When he said this, he couldn't help but look gloomy.

Chang Ji didn't ask any more questions.

With the light, Shen She slowly recovered, took Zuo'er back into his sleeve and said, "What are you going to do? Where are you going?"

Before Chang Ji could open his mouth, Dan Ju said: "The city defense army has already searched my place, and I don't think they will come here again. Right now, there is no safer place than my place. It's getting late at night, and His Highness will stay in the humble house for a while. It's late, let's make plans tomorrow."

Chang Wei said: "If that's the case, I'll be bothering you."
