Dayu Execution Officer, begins to torture the demon girl's fiancee

"My lord... what does the court mean by this?"

Zheng Guogong and his wife stood hand in hand in the lobby of the Governor's Mansion.

They listened to the voice of the official who announced the decree outside the door, and Zhao Gan frowned even more.

Su Jinnian stroked Gao Long's abdomen with one hand, looked at him with worry in his beautiful eyes, and the atmosphere became depressed.

"This group of edict officials are too aggressive! I asked them to rest first, and they actually announced the edict loudly outside the mansion."

Zheng Guogong's face was ugly. He wanted to ask Zhao Cuo before deciding how to deal with the imperial court's envoys, but in the end they went all out with great fanfare.

Canonize him as King Zheng?If it weren't for a special moment, how could the court easily crown a foreign minister with a different surname as king!
Something happened in the capital...

"How is it good?"

Su Jinnian asked in a low voice.

She was also panicked at this time.

Zhao Gan didn't tell her many things because she was pregnant, but she was not blind and deaf, so she still had a general idea of ​​the current situation.

"This decree cannot be accepted. I will write a letter and send it to the Qi State. At this time, it depends on Wu Jiu's intention."

Zheng Guogong said in a deep voice.

He also knew that the direction of the overall situation depended on General Zhao's decision.

He has no objection to this, the young master's performance for a long time has reassured him, and now the whole south is under the control of the General's Mansion.

"Cuo'er is standing in the current position, a single thought will lead to eternal doom, he..."

The Duke's Madam said anxiously.

"He's measured."

Zhao Gan's tone remained calm and composed.

"Ma'am, don't worry, you can take care of your baby. If the sky falls, we, father and son, will take care of it."

His mood is actually restless, but his wife is pregnant, so he can't show any lack of confidence.

The Zhao family has really stood on top of the huge waves of history this time!
Now there is only one way to give them peace of mind forever...

"Come on!"

Zheng Guogong was calm and authentic.

"Go out and tell the imperial envoy that the official is not at the mansion, and you can summon him another day."

This is disrespectful for him. When the emperor's imperial decree arrives, as a subject, he should receive the decree as soon as possible.

But no one cares about that anymore.

In the south, General Zhao has the final say.

"The imperial court crowned my father king?"

Zhao Cuo learned about it from the secret guard in the evening.

His expression didn't change much. It wasn't what he expected at this time, but it wasn't too unexpected.

From this point of view, the batch of officials who will go to Qi State tomorrow also came to seal him?King Han wanted to stabilize him in this way.

"According to the general, once the imperial envoys from the capital arrive at the capital of Qi, you should treat them politely and invite them to settle in the military camp outside the city."

Zhao Gongye found it again, according to Yuanqing and told him.

"Yes!"

After saluting according to the general soldier, he turned and said.

"General, General Wu Chongxing, governor of Jingning, is expected to arrive at the capital of Qi tonight."

"You go and get someone to prepare the reception banquet. After Governor Wu arrives, let him come to see me as soon as possible."

Zhao Cuo immediately cheered up and said, Wu Chongxing made great contributions in the Battle of Pingnan, and the weight in his heart also reached the first echelon. …

General Wu sent a letter yesterday, saying that he had something urgent to report in person, and now people came here in haste.

Mr. Zhao took his words to heart.

"Is there anything else in Jingning and Ningfu that you need him to explain in person?"

General Zhao also had doubts in his heart, mainly because Wu Chongxing acted too eagerly, as if there was really some urgent matter.

The sky was getting dark, and before dinner, he met the Governor Wu who rushed over in the palace.

It's been a long time since the two last met.

"My subordinates greet the general!"

As soon as Wu Chongxing entered the hall, he knelt on one knee and performed the military salute without hesitation.

"General Wu, don't be too polite, go and sit down in front, I have already prepared a reception banquet for you in the palace."

Zhao Cuo stood up with a smile, walked down the steps and helped him up, giving him enough courtesy.

"There will be something important to report at the end!"

He took a deep breath and cupped his hands.

"Thank you so much for making this trip, let's sit down and talk, please."

"Don't dare! This subordinate has been restless for the past two days, and it can be regarded as sending people to Qi."

He smiled wryly and waved his hands to the outside of the hall. Mr. Zhao hadn't spoken yet, only to hear him speak again.

"The general is in the hall, please come in quickly, you don't have to worry anymore when you get here."

Wu Chongxing's words made Zhao thief also startled.

He turned his head and looked out, only to see a man in black walking quickly into the hall, seeming very nervous.

The general was puzzled, he wondered why his subordinate Governor Wu brought a person who hides his head and shows his tail, and even called him "you".

"I don't know what to call this person?"

Zhao Cuo said with a normal expression.

"This Highness claims to have been ordered by the Empress Dowager..."

Wu Chongxing's words made Mr. Zhao's eyes change, and before he could finish speaking, the black-robed man tore off his coat and hat!
"Zhi pays homage to General Zhao!"

"His Royal Highness!"

Grandpa Zhao suddenly opened his eyes wide.

The person standing in front of him was none other than Prince Chu Zhi who was assassinated when he went south a few months ago!His whereabouts were unknown during that assassination.

However, the person appeared intact now, and Prince Dayu was looking at Lord Shangfu with excited eyes, which revealed the ease of being liberated from fear.

"General, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince found his subordinate three days ago. After I wrote you a letter, I immediately escorted him to Qi."

Wu Chongxing also lowered his head and said in relief.

"You did a good job!"

Zhao Cuo nodded and said after reacting.

He stared at Chu Zhi who was looking at him, hesitant to speak, with piercing eyes.

With just a few snaps of his fingers, Mr. Zhao could almost figure out what the situation was. The key lies in their sentence "By the order of the Queen Mother".

"As long as His Royal Highness is fine, I will arrange for you to wash and have a meal first. If you have anything to say, we will talk about it tomorrow."

He said calmly.

"Yes!"

Chu Zhi nodded with difficulty.

He also seemed to have lost a lot of weight, presumably it was caused by worry during this period of time, and he spent all day in panic.

At this time, His Royal Highness looked at Mr. Zhao with tears in his eyes, moved his lips, and finally said with a sigh of relief. …

"After Zhi was assassinated that day, he was rescued by people from the East Palace and settled in Ningxi Mansion..."

General Zhao nodded his head and listened to what he said.

It is not surprising that the female devil will hide Chu Zhi in Ningxi Mansion.

As the saying goes, it is dark under the lights, and King Han probably would not have imagined that the current crown prince would be in the most urgent place of the war.

"I have been hiding in Ningxi Mansion so far. Just the day before yesterday, the secret guard who guarded me said that the time has come. If you see me at this time, you will know what the Empress Dowager means."

Chu Zhi finished speaking in one breath, and Zhao Cuo's heart was like a mirror, and the news he had been waiting for from Sister Lan came to him.

He didn't say much to the prince, he waved his hand and asked someone to take him, who was already exhausted, to take a shower and change clothes.

This time, he had no hesitation in choosing the current situation.

"General Wu, tomorrow I'm going to celebrate the meritorious service of the soldiers in the barracks outside the city, so you should stay too."

He looked at Wu Chongxing, with a trusting and encouraging smile on his face, and said to him calmly.

"Obey! I haven't congratulated the general for destroying the Seven Kingdoms, so I'm here to congratulate you."

Governor Wu saluted him solemnly.

"it is good."

After Zhao wrongly nodded, he said casually.

"If there are rebellious officials and thieves in the court who commit crimes and usurp power, will General Wu be willing to send troops north with me to punish crimes and rebels?"

Wu Chongxing shrank suddenly when he heard his words, and then knelt down on one knee without hesitation, categorically speaking.

"The last general is willing to die for the great general!"

"A general said this..."

Mr. Zhao smiled and helped him up.

"I'm relieved. The reception banquet has been prepared in the palace, please."

General Zhao is more sober than ever before, and when he celebrates the victory tomorrow, he has already calculated that the imperial edict officials will arrive at that time.

After receiving the wind for Wu Chongxing, because he had a decision in his heart, he drank a few more glasses for a while because of the relief of the big stone in his heart.

Satisfied with food and drink, he walked slowly into the quiet inner palace, walking with the night wind.

"What are you hanging around in the palace?"

Suddenly, a gentle and helpless whisper came from his ear, and then he felt his ears being pinched.

"Bold! How dare you offend this general, what should you do? If you don't give an explanation, you will be killed today!"

Zhao Cuo turned his head aggressively, and what he looked at was a pair of charming and affectionate peach blossom eyes. At this moment, his hands also wrapped around his waist.

"How much have you been drinking? You smell of alcohol, and your mouth is full of nonsense."

She glared at him with a blushing face.

Looking at her soft and pretty fair face, the little father-in-law couldn't help lowering his head, and tasted the pale red rouge on the beauty's lips.

Zhao Shangxin raised his jade hand a little shamefully to push his face away, then took his hand and pulled him towards his residence.

"You still love me. I almost spent the night on the stone chair in the back garden. Fortunately, I have you."

Zhao thief is of course still awake at this time.

He looked down at the hands that were holding each other, and willfully changed it into a gesture of interlocking fingers, only then was he satisfied.

Miss Zhao turned her head and gave him a somewhat helpless look, but she didn't say much, and led him into her room. …

"Why are you so happy? It's shameful to drink like this."

Xinxin asked the maid to bring hot water.

Zhao Cuo was half lying in the bathtub under her gentle service.

A pair of smart jade hands were fiddling with his head, combing his hair, very gentle.

"Because we are going back to Beijing, I will definitely take them back before An'er and Huan'er are born."

The little father-in-law raised his hand to hold her gentle catkin.

"Hmm~"

Zhao Shangxin responded softly and gently.

"You're tired too. Go to bed after washing up in a while. You still have errands to do tomorrow morning."

"If you are with me."

"understood."

……

"The general wins!"

The scorching sun was hanging in the middle of the sky, and Zhao Cuo rode into the barracks outside the city under the support of a group of southern army generals.

The soldiers lined up shouted loudly, Mr. Zhao waved back calmly, and finally stood on the high platform.

He looked down at the tens of thousands of soldiers looking up at him, took a deep breath, and as soon as he opened his mouth, his voice covered the entire barracks.

"Soldiers and soldiers! Thanks to your desperate struggle for many months, the Seven Kingdoms were finally completely recovered a few days ago. The merits of this battle belong to all the soldiers. Let's have a drink together today!"

General Zhao put the wine bowl in his hand to his lips and drank it down in one gulp, and then showed the mouth of the bowl to the bottom, and the soldiers suddenly became enthusiastic and noisy.

They also happily drank the wine they had received.

The atmosphere gets hotter for a while
"Give meat to the brethren!"

Zhao wrongly waved his hands and said loudly.

He also sat on the wooden platform and shared a leg of lamb with the general of the Southern Army. After the smell of meat dissipated, there was a lot of noise.

There were songs and dances in the barracks, and he has been eating meat and drinking with the soldiers from the beginning, and once went off the field to clink glasses with the soldiers.

"Report to the general! The imperial envoy has come to pass the edict, and the people have already left the barracks."

At this time, a soldier from the Chinese army tent came.

He said loudly in the camp under the signal of Mr. Zhao.

Under such circumstances, the news spread from the mouths of the soldiers around them, and boos also came.

"The general wiped out the seven kingdoms and conquered the South China Sea! It must be His Majesty's reward order."

"It must be so, with the grand master's great martial arts! It is not an exaggeration to be named king..."

"It should be crowned king!"

Zhao Cuo's face quickly sank.

He got up and returned to the high wooden platform, looked at each other with Zhao Yuanqing and Wu Chongxing, and they nodded understandingly.

The rest of the southern army generals were still unaware of the situation, and looked expectantly outside the camp, as if expecting that there might be a reward for themselves in the imperial decree.

"Quickly ask the imperial envoy to enter the barracks and read the imperial decree!"

Mr. Zhao said calmly.

He watched as a group of Beijing officials walked into the barracks silently.

Among the group of people, the edict minister stepped up to the high platform nervously, holding a bright yellow silk book in his hand, and stood in front of General Zhao.

"General Zhao Cuo received the order!" The imperial envoy did not dare to look at Zhao Cuo, "Fengtian Chengyun Emperor..."

Mr. Zhao looked at them with cold eyes.

What was written in the imperial decree was not what he wanted to know today.

At this point in the situation, he was only short of one thing, and someone delivered it just in front of him.

"Great General Zhao Cuo has worked tirelessly! Last year he took Ning and Huainan countries, and now he has pacified the Dragon Clan's sea troubles! Recover the six countries! I will be crowned King Zhao!"

As soon as the imperial envoy's words fell, a fierce commotion rang out from the audience, and bandit Zhao also lowered his hand to hold the hilt of his sword at his waist.

"Please ask the prince to accept the order."

The officials from Beijing quickly changed their tune.

However, what responded to him was the sound of the sword being unsheathed.

A sharp white rainbow flashed in front of Zhao Cuo's eyes, the bright yellow imperial decree was instantly dyed red, and the noisy barracks fell into dead silence in an instant.

"This general has been ordered by the Empress Dowager, and the royal family King Han has usurped power and caused chaos! He intends to steal the dynasty and stand on his own."

With a red face, Mr. Zhao stabbed the sword in his hand on the imperial decree that fell to the ground!
"Rebellious ministers and thieves will be punished for everyone! This general is following the order of the East Palace, and the edict of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Here, we will raise troops to fight against rebellion, and enter the capital to serve the king!"

As soon as General Zhao finished speaking, Zhao Yuanqing and Wu Chongxing behind him took out two volumes of silk books, which were the Empress Dowager's edict and the Prince's edict respectively.At this time, a group of soldiers escorted Chu Zhi, who was wearing the five-clawed walking dragon uniform, to the high platform, and Zhao thief raised his troops and immediately gained legitimacy in terms of jurisprudence.
